However, the strange man on the rock wall disappeared again.
Thales' breathing quickened.
No.
Kurtz...
He no longer cared about those gods and ghosts. Thales reached out frantically towards the edge of the collapse, trying to grab some strength point so that he could climb down to find Kurtz.
But as if Heijing was deliberately playing tricks on him, there was another cracking sound above his head.
"Wow!"
A rock fell down, and Thales subconsciously threw himself to the side. The rock hit him where he was, and debris flew everywhere.
Damn...
Damn it!
"boom!"
Countless gravels continued to fall on his side and on top of his head. The young man could only hold his head tightly, curl up into a ball, and roll left and right in the awareness of the sin of the prison river, trying his best to avoid the larger stones.
"Rustling and roaring..."
Finally, Thales felt that everything around him became quiet.
The prince gasped and put down his arms, lying on his back, fighting back his sore and uncomfortable eyes.
Kurtz...
Thinking of the seamstress's desperate face at the end, Thales couldn't help but clenched his fist and smashed it on the ground.
At this moment, Thales suddenly felt a chill on his head.
He sat up like a thorn!
Sure enough, the prince was horrified to see countless figures appearing around him again.
The wall in front, the rock protruding behind, the ground beside your left foot, the cliff above your head...
Withered skin, pale eyes, rotten lips and teeth.
It's them.
It's them again.
Countless strange faces slowly emerged from the rock wall as if emerging from the water, as if they were not entities at all.
【join us……】
There were hundreds of them, covering almost all visible rock walls. They all stared at Thales from all directions with their deathly pale eyes.
【You don’t belong there...】
[Join...we are one...return to the battlefield...]
Thales' scalp felt cold and he moved his butt forward a step further away from the "person" behind him who was about to touch him.
More and more sounds came into his ears, and Thales subconsciously covered his forehead. He started to have a headache again:
[Victory...why...didn't it come...]
[Behind you are your fathers, wives and children. For the sake of the Northland... hold on here...]
[Remember, we are not killing people, we are the army. When we go to the battlefield, it is the army that is killing people, so we are not murderers, it is the empire that is killing people. This is the responsibility of the empire. We are just obeying orders. We are not guilty, not guilty...
…]
[Forward...forward...until death...]
[There is no other way, there is not enough food... Go to the village to search for food, remember to be polite and buy it...]
[No, if anyone dares to resist the requisition of food, he is an enemy... Let's eat the war horses first, starting with the sick horses, and the knife will be faster... Bring the prisoners of war, it is natural for us to eat the flesh and blood of the enemy... There are no prisoners of war.
?Go to the village, it will be okay, we only pick out those bad scum, we are doing a good thing...]
[Follow Yoss, we will do this...as long as we kill Duke Arend, the Northland will be ours...the survival of the Dark Night Corps depends on today!]
[Escape... the emperor has lost... we have no hope, escape, escape to the desert, escape to Xitao Province, escape to Longkiss Province...]
[I want to crawl back, crawl back...my daughter, my wife...they are waiting for me...no, I can't scare them, I have to find my head first...]
Suddenly, the prince felt something, and he raised his head tremblingly.
Thales froze.
is it.
It's that man.
The "it" that was at the top of the rock wall just now was still staring with terrifying white eyes and opening its rust-colored teeth.
At this moment, it was floating in the air, surrounded by black mist, and slowly "floating" toward Thales.
【You...are ours...】
Thales tried his best to dispel the chill and fear and clenched his fists.
Thinking of Kurtz's expression when he fell, anger and hatred suddenly came over him.
"Who are you!"
It showed no response, just floated quietly.
"What are you doing?" Thales gritted his teeth and said, but stopped abruptly.
It was getting closer and closer, looking across from Thales under the watchful eyes of countless faces.
Thales figured something out.
He took a few sharp breaths, overcame his trembling and hairiness, and spoke stiffly, speaking the ancient Imperial language that Gilbert once taught him:
"who are you?"
Thales saw that "it" lightly paused.
The lingering black mist slowly left its body.
"What... do you want...?"
In mid-air, the most special "it" slowly raised its head and shook its head violently.
Thales saw: the colors on it seemed to be a little brighter.
Its expression moved, and the stiff muscles around its lips trembled and opened, letting out a horrifying laugh.
But the next moment, it suddenly opened its mouth, revealing its sharp teeth!
[Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh]
A shrill roar suddenly sounded in Thales's ears!
He subconsciously covered his ears and shrank back in pain.
As it howled shrilly, hundreds of faces around it became restless, opening their mouths that looked like they were about to rot, in response to the howl!
The next second, countless "people" left their positions, and in the sound of howls, bodies other than their heads appeared.
Like a predatory beast.
[Jail River, what does Prison River look like...Mom, can I see you there...]
[Be loyal to the Iron-Blooded King and die without regrets...]
[No, our death is by no means meaningless... This decadent so-called empire, that shameless tyrant... must be overthrown! 】
【Avenge them!】
[Believe me, as long as we kill all the enemies and leave no one behind, peace will come... What? New enemies? Then keep killing... until the day peace comes...]
[Oh my god, dragon, that’s a dragon... How can we defeat a dragon...]
[After the war, I will be promoted to captain. I want to go home and marry Ellie...]
【I am...who am I...】
[No, we took up arms for them... I would rather go to the gallows than hurt them...]
[I came to serve as a soldier to win the war and finish it... Then my son, my son's son, will not have to be a soldier in the future...]
Countless voices were like whispers, but they penetrated the howl without any hindrance and poured into Thales's ears.
Thales covered his ears tightly, feeling extremely painful.
The "person" closest to him, with only half a face left, howled angrily and stretched out his hand like a dead branch, touching Thales' left arm first.
"Ahhhhh"
Thales cried out in pain!
That feeling...
Like...
It's like being dipped in boiling water and then poured with ice water!
A cold and hot feeling spread to the touched arm at the same time.
The Sin of Hell River was running like crazy, strengthening his arm muscles and hand bones like instinct, filling his joints, and accelerating his blood flow.
Thales shouted wildly and waved the jc dagger desperately, but...
Useless.
The arm of the disembodied monster passed through Taylor's hand without any hindrance, and a puff of light smoke was visible to the naked eye.
Thales roared, the pain was still there, and as the monster penetrated, his arm became more painful.
Not only that, there were hundreds of monster faces on the rock wall. They all stretched out their arms and legs, climbed up the rock wall, and crawled towards him!
She reached out to him tremblingly.
Not just arms, but also legs, neck, head...
No.
no no!
Every time he came into contact with them, Thales felt like he was being tortured. He could only scream in vain. Not even the Sin of Hell River could help him.
In severe pain, Thales's consciousness gradually blurred.
Oops.
I……
It seems...at the end.
Just when he tried his best to raise the dagger, trying to cut open his palm and make a last ditch effort.
"beep"
Thales suddenly felt a pain in his ear.
tinnitus!
The extremely harsh tinnitus comes suddenly!
It almost covered the pain all over his body!
Stimulated by the tinnitus, Thales kept twitching and felt that his body was almost no longer his own.
Along with the tinnitus came a dazzling silver light.
It lit up in the dark cave, illuminating this narrow corner.
As if they had encountered a natural enemy, hundreds of "people" covered their white eyes in pain the moment they saw the silver light.
【It hurts...】
【It's him……】
【It's him!】
They let go of the struggling Thales and retreated!
The silver light is getting closer and closer.
The tinnitus is getting stronger and stronger.
"Their" miserable howls sounded again.
But this time, Thales sensed fear and disgust from their emotions.
【No, it hurts...】
[That Northlander...]
[It’s him, and his power...]
【Sooner or later he will be ours...】
[Go quickly...]
【escape……】
Before the silver light, they scrambled to let go of Thales, retreated, and submerged into the dark rock wall again.
The silver light pierced Thales so much that he couldn't open his eyes.
His tinnitus has not subsided, but Thales has slowly started to get used to it.
But as those monsters left, Thales breathed a sigh of relief: the pain in his body eased.
Soon, the rustling and deep words stopped ringing in Thales's ears.
It's like closing the window to the busy city.
Finally, there were no more monsters at the bottom of this dark pit, only the dark rock formations remained.
And Thales.
The young man sat up with difficulty, trying desperately to block the dazzling silver light shooting towards him, enduring the slightly less harsh tinnitus, and first looked at his body.
He was surprised to find that although the pain was still deep in his mind, there was no damage caused by the monster on his whole body except for the scratches he suffered during his escape.
So, those things are really...
At this moment.
The silver light weakened.
The tinnitus then disappeared.
etc.
Thales trembled all over!
The weird tinnitus just now... gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Yes, tinnitus...
Something I have experienced before.
Twice, once in the stars and once in the north.
Once during the blood ceremony.
Once in a holy duel.
so……
The prince figured something out and slowly turned his head.
Two steps away from him, there was the center of the dazzling silver light.
There, a figure appeared from the silver light as it weakened.
This is a man.
A man made of silver light.
The other party looked at him silently.
Thales stared blankly at the figure in the silver light and came to the next conclusion: he was a warrior.
The outlines of the opponent's body are all embellished with silver light, and only the facial features are dark and deep.
The silver light formed the light armor on his body, even depicting the strong muscles and slender figure exposed between his armors.
However, what impressed Thales the most was the heroism, majesty, majesty and courage displayed by this silver man when he stood in front of him.
Like a character from mythology and legend.
But the opponent was still just transparent silver light, and Thales could even see the rock formations behind him through his body.
Thales looked at him in surprise: So, is he...
The next second, the figure took steps and spoke slowly.
His voice is cold and his words are like iron.
"So, you are the culprit."
What came into my ears was a voice with a northern accent, a lingua franca that is half ancient and half modern.
Thales blinked: "What?"
The figure in the silver light shook his head and moved forward:
"You don't belong here."
Thales watched him slowly approach and suddenly became nervous.
"I really don't belong here, I'm sorry," Thales stood up in a hurry, flicking his wrist, feeling the pain caused by the sin of the prison river: "So who are you?"
The Silver Shadow Man's steps paused slightly.
"Who am I?"
His heroic face tilted, and his dark eyes were slightly deformed.
Seems to be thinking.
"who I am?"
But Thales could only feel deep confusion from his words.
The silver shadow man shook his head: "I don't know."
"I can't remember."
Thales was stunned for a while.
The Silver Shadow Man suddenly raised his head and said resolutely: "But I must protect this place..."
"And you, you are in the wrong place."
His deep, dark eyes seemed to have the power to penetrate people's hearts, making Thales' heart tighten.
The silver shadow man walked up to him, suddenly stretched out his strong right arm made of silver light, and touched his face!
"ah!"
Thales cried out in pain and was startled that the Silver Shadow Man's touch seemed to have substance. Wherever the silver light touched, his skin felt a stinging sensation!
The prince gritted his teeth and took two steps back, leaving the opponent's arm, holding the dagger, and looked at the opponent warily.
His tinnitus started again.
"There is something different about you..." The Silver Shadow Man seemed to be getting more and more confused: "Your body is filled with an ominous aura, and even the power of the mountains repels you..."
"but……"
Thales stared, expressing that he could not understand the current situation.
The tall Silver Shadow man shook his head violently.
It seemed like something was being shaken off.
When he raised his head again, his mood had turned cold and his tone was solemn:
"No," the Silver Shadow Man said resolutely, his facial features slowly gathering in the silver light, seeming to convince himself: "You are just their new trick..."
"It is a by-product of their chaotic consciousness."
"It's the other side of evil!"
The next second, the silver light shines!
The man of silver shadow instantly transformed into a man of silver light. He immediately stepped in front of Thales and strangled him tightly by the neck!
etc……
How is this going……
But his thoughts were quickly interrupted.
Thales only felt that along with that arm came a huge pressure, making him unable to move all over his body!
The tinnitus and tingling sensation were instantly transmitted to Thales's nerves, and the intensity was even worse than before, causing him to scream.
"Ahhhh..."
"No!"
Unlike the incorporeal monster, the silver light man's arms seemed to be invisible. When he pressed Thales' neck firmly, he actually gave the latter an illusory suffocation feeling.
The hesitant voice of the man of silver light penetrated the tinnitus: "I have a responsibility and must protect..."
"I will eliminate the threat..."
The opponent raised his left arm, and the silver light on his arm became stronger and stronger, piercing straight into Thales' chest!
The silver light penetrated straight into Thales's chest.
At that moment, Thales was shocked and felt a chill coming from his heart!
Brings tingling pain all over the body!
Even the sin of the prison river seemed to be firmly suppressed, without any reaction!
Tinnitus, tingling, and chills were like three kinds of torture torturing him at the same time!
"Ahhhh!" Thales closed his eyes tightly, his face was distorted, and he howled in pain a hundred times more painfully than before.
At this moment.
"Huh?"
Quite suddenly, the man of silver light stopped what he was doing.
He pulled out his left arm from Thales' chest.
The silver man's dark eyes slowly approached: "This is..."
Thales, who was suppressed, stopped shouting. He was dripping with cold sweat, panting, and was about to collapse.
The light on the Silver Light Man's body weakened, and he transformed into the Silver Shadow Man again, grabbing the weakened Thales.
He... what on earth does he want to do!
Repeated torture?
Sadist?
Thales felt the tingling pain and tinnitus disappear, but he felt as if he had experienced a battle, his body was exhausted and his consciousness was scattered.
The Silver Shadow Man gently laid him down, placed his left hand on Thales' left chest, and touched his chest, causing Thales to feel a burst of discomfort under the stinging pain.
The next second, the Silver Shadow Man raised his head and said in a serious tone: "Who are you."
Thales could hardly maintain the most basic thoughts. He lay weakly on the ground, feeling that all the cells in his body were roaring, dissatisfied with the abuse brought by his master.
Damn it.
you this……
Neuropathy……
"I," he gasped, sneered again and again, blending dissatisfaction and grievance into his words: "I am just a lost traveler, a poor lamb, who went in the wrong direction and met a pervert..."
At this moment, the silver light on the Silver Shadow Man became strong again!
The tingling pain and tinnitus struck again, causing Thales, who had just been relieved, to tremble again.
"I hate naughty kids the most."
"So you son of a bitch, I'll ask again," the Silver Shadow Man said coldly:
The silver shadow man's palm firmly pressed Thales's chest, pressing down hard, and the silver light penetrated in again!
"Who the hell are you!"
"Ahhhhh" tinnitus, stinging, heavy pressure, suffocation, chill... Tortured by multiple sensations, Thales decisively gave up his resistance and yelled in horror:
"Tylestylestyles"
"Tiles Bright Star!"
"I am Thales Brightstar!"
With all the grievances and dissatisfaction he encountered during the day, he looked up to the sky and shouted: "The unlucky prince of a certain unlucky kingdom!"
Thales's voice carried far away, and the echoes were deafening.
The prince gasped in cold sweat, and was surprised to find that the silver sadist's hand had left his chest.
The silver light on the other party that made him uncomfortable also subsided.
The Silver Shadow Man stood up slowly.
"Bright Star?"
He looked at the dying prince and seemed to be chewing on the name.
"Bright Star..."
Silver Shadow Man raised his head:
"A familiar last name."
He turned around and walked away from Thales, leaving his back behind.
The unconscious Thales struggled to get up in pain, and then he noticed: the armor on the opponent's body was made of silver light, with a rough decoration style and simple matching.
This style is like...
"Even though the memories of the past have long been weathered like rotten wood," the Silver Shadow Man slowly raised his head, and for the first time, there was a strange emotion in his frosty tone:
"But it can still ring a bell in my consciousness and stir up ripples in my thoughts..."
"Bright Star..."
Thales, who felt pain everywhere in his body, stood up with awe and suspicion, holding on to the rock wall, not wanting to have anything to do with this sadist.
The Silver Shadow Man turned around suddenly, his facial features gathered together again, and he looked very serious:
