In less than half an hour, the dragon carriage set off
"The destination is the mansion of the border lord of Mezas Territory. The condition is to shorten the time as much as possible and continue traveling even in the middle of the night... The reward is a reward, so I accepted it, but it is really a random condition, this."
"You guys who are greedy for money, don't complain to me. Please, this is related to my future."
"My future is also based on various hooks in the present continuous tense. Please keep working hard." He said, under the instructions of Otto who was controlling the reins, the dragon cart stepped on the ground and kept running. All Otto's dragon carts were
The shelf has a large hood, and the earth dragon also has a huge body, showing off a sense of power.
For the seemingly heavyweight Earth Dragon, Subaru was a little worried that it wasn't fast enough.
"Relatively speaking, endurance is different. Even among earth dragons used for long distances, they have particularly excellent physical strength, so they won't be exhausted even if they run for three days in a row."
"If you run for three days in a row, the person sitting on it will collapse."
"Almost two years ago, I ran like this in order not to miss a meeting. Human beings are surprisingly capable when they are in a certain death mood. However, after the meeting ended, I ran away immediately, and it took about a week after that.
Inside, we are wandering on the line between life and death.”
"If you are determined to die, then..."
Otto looked at Subaru in confusion.
Subaru waved his hand wordlessly
"I'm sorry, I didn't consider that there would be guests on board, so I couldn't prepare decent seats."
"This is the one who said such random things. I don't care about the pain in my butt. Fortunately, I have protection. It's enough just that there is no wind or shaking." Subaru shrugged.
Otto's dragon carriage was intended to be used purely for transporting cargo. It was not equipped with a passenger carriage for extra people to ride on. Subaru and Yuexing's seats were next to Otto on the driver's platform.
"If you are sleepy, please rest on the shelf of the car, although it is a bit messy. I also go camping frequently, so I also use several blankets."
"This is really meticulous and thoughtful... There is no need for a dragon carriage. In other words, can Hammas just pass by like that on the way?" Subaru asked.
"Yes, as a relay point, Hammas is a more prosperous place than Furul, but I have already accumulated enough water and food. This request is also urgent, so I passed by directly." Otto said and looked at
Toward the moon star
"What's wrong?" Yuexing asked
"This guest has been silent all this time. Is he a bodyguard?" Otto asked
"He's my brother. Every time he encounters a situation, he falls into unexpected silence. It's really unpredictable, isn't it?"
"The main reason is that I'm worried about something coming soon, so I have to be highly vigilant at all times..."
"Uh! Sorry" Subaru put his palms together and smiled at Yuexing.
"That's it, hey, hello," Otto said and smiled at Yuexing.
Yuexing nodded
"I'm still a little worried about the situation there. If possible..."
At this time, there was a strong sense of space pulling on Yuexing's body.
"...Subaru! Take care of yourself!..." As soon as Yuexing finished speaking, he disappeared from the sight of Otto and the two.
…
collapse!!--
With a loud noise, a shadow figure wearing a red cloak flew up out of thin air on the grass, flew back a few meters and then slid on the ground for a long distance, losing his life.
"Yuexing..." A loud gasping voice came from life
Turning around, he found Rem squatting on the ground. The sky-blue horn above his head was exuding a dangerous aura. The clothes of the dead on his body had been stained with bright red. He was holding an iron ball stained with dark red blood in his hand.
Rem's surroundings were littered with corpses wearing red cloaks, and behind him was the small wooden cabin where gardening tools and sundries were stored in Roswaal's mansion.
Lumid, Kain, Merlin...the children in the village were trembling and hugging each other in the cabin, with unstoppable fear in their eyes.
"Big brother..." Lumid cried
"It's okay, because I'm here!!" Yuexing clenched her fists, helped Rem into the cabin, and turned her gaze back to the courtyard.
The courtyard in front of him was filled with people in crimson cloaks looking at him. On the roof of the mansion and on the lawn, people were densely packed in this lonely mansion.
"Really, can you kill these people?" Yuexing suddenly hesitated.
——I have never killed anyone
Looking back at the children who were crying and shouting for the unconscious Rem, he saw the smoke rising from the direction of the village not far away. His fists gradually clenched, and his nails penetrated deeply into his palms without noticing.
Suddenly, Yuexing was stunned for a moment and laughed out loud
The reason for hesitation is nothing more than inner turmoil
There was no such hesitation when killing monsters, but when the target turned to humans, the morality in his heart began to interfere.
Why animals have equal lives with humans... is nothing more than a joke
From the bottom of my heart, I still feel that human beings are more noble.
Subconsciously, there was no hesitation when facing the monsters——
The reason why people are hypocritical——
Yuexing suddenly figured it out
"Today, you are not worthy of being human -" Yuexing sneered, and flashed his right hand, revealing the firearm that had been carefully improved for this time.
"You guys, let's try my new baby." Yuexing took a step back with his left leg, turned sideways, raised his right hand flat, his eyes were like a torch, and a strong cyan light gathered at the muzzle of the gun.
The crimson cloaks on the ground moved, and they all gathered around Yuexing. The cold dagger was drawn out from the cloak, pointing directly at Yuexing's throat.
——Of course, none of this will go as expected.
The voice of "Polymerization·Wind Cannon" sounded in my mind
boom!!--
A deafening sound exploded on the blood-stained grass, a strong hurricane was generated from the muzzle, and strong winds swept across
The crimson figure in front of him was like a broken kite that was crushed by a strong hurricane. The debris was splashed on the grass in front of him, and a large area of dark red appeared on the green lawn.
A strong impact came from the firearm in Yuexing's hand, and his body fell backwards and flew out, violently hitting the outer wall of the cabin, and the entire cabin shook violently.
Yuexing slid along the wall to the ground, breathing heavily. The gun in his hand flew out of nowhere. Such an intense attack would have been useless even if it was picked up.
A trace of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth. He sat on the ground with one hand supporting him and looked coldly at the shadows flashing on the roof.
The shadows on the ground disappeared, and the number on the roof continued to increase.
"Teleport? Let's see if you are faster or I am faster!" Yuexing jumped up from the bottom of the wall, holding the Tang Dao that exuded cyan light tightly in his right hand.
The blade of the sword vibrates at a high frequency in the air, constantly cutting the air.
"Just in case, it's better to take out your trump card..." Yuexing said coldly.
A strong itching sensation came from his forehead, two light cyan ghost horns emerged, and his silver hair stood up without any wind. In an instant, Yuexing felt that the pain caused by the impact had disappeared.
[Enter the ghost state: Activate the power of the ghosts in the blood, greatly increasing Maya's reserves and absorption rate, maximum vitality, strength, magic effects, wound recovery speed, duration of two hours, please pay attention to control the time]
The long-lost voice sounded in his mind, giving Yuexing great courage.
"Even if I fail, as long as the system is there, I will have a chance to come back!"
"Lan Ji!"
boom--
With a loud explosion, a green afterimage rushed up to the ridge of the roof.
At the same time, the door of the cabin was violently kicked open, and a crimson cloak appeared at the door.
The children screamed and cried loudly
The weak Rem struggled to get up from the ground and protected the children behind him.
The crimson cloak waved his fist without hesitation, and the high-speed fist came towards him. Rem smiled suddenly.
"Today, none of you can run away——" The fist failed to arrive as promised, and the huge head rose into the sky.
Yuexing kicked away the bleeding corpse from the neck, and looked at Rem with soft eyes.
The shadows on the roof outside fell one by one after a strange stagnation.
For a moment, the courtyard fell into an eerie silence again
"Brother...your nose is bleeding," Kain said softly.
Yuexing wiped it with her hand and looked at the blood on her fingers in surprise
"This... shouldn't be right. Logically speaking, this kind of minor injury should have recovered long ago..." Yuexing couldn't understand.
[This is the sequelae of the last rampage, and there is nothing I can do about it] The sound of the system rang again
"That's not right. Shouldn't the injuries disappear as time and space turn?"
[This... logically speaking, this is correct, but it seems that this injury is based on the soul, and time retrieval is not something that can be retraced by anything] A helpless voice came
"That's all, I just need to pay attention to myself. It's really troublesome..." Yuexing waved his hand, faded away from his ghostly state, and looked towards the cabin.
Rem gasped for breath and collapsed on the ground. The children leaned on each other tightly and looked outside the house timidly behind Rem.
"Children, where are the others? I remember more than just these people..." Yuexing realized a tragic situation
"The adults in the village... Petra, Ruka, Meina... everyone... everyone is dead," Merlin cried.
"The adults asked us to come here, Rei, sister Rem said... she will definitely protect us," Lumid said intermittently.
Yuexing walked towards Rem, and in Rem's pale look, she knelt down and hugged Rem.
"Next time, I won't allow you to do this again... Such stupidity..." Yuexing whispered into Rem's ear, and gently stroked Rem's head with her palm.
Rem buried her head in Yuexing's arms and sobbed softly.
"Yuexing... Rem is useless. Rem failed to protect my sister well..." Rem's intermittent voice came.
Yuexing glanced outside nervously and saw a pink shadow falling towards here not far away.
Ram, whose waiter's uniform was stained red, was lying there. The ground where he lay prone was stained red with a terrifying amount of blood. The crimson corpse spread from Ram's position to here. Rem should be protecting him.
The children fought all the way, but gave up on Ram
"Rem did a great job...very well..." Yuexing hugged Rem tightly, with uncontrollable sadness in her eyes.
Although Ram's character often makes people have a bad impression of her, she has always been Rem's sister. Yuexing, who has lived in the ghost tribe for several years, understands that Ram is always the same Ram and is a worthy person.
The guy you rely on and trust...
After a long silence, Yuexing calmed down and turned his attention to the mansion. The situation in the mansion is still unclear.
"You guys stay here, I'll go inside the mansion to check on the situation." Yuexing looked at Rem.
"In this case, Rem also..."
"Stop trying to be brave, Rem, just leave the rest to me..." Yuexing shook her head.
Rem pursed her lips and lowered her head.
"What if someone else comes to attack me if I go by myself..." Yuexing sighed.
"By the way, you can call this guy over!" A figure flashed in Yuexing's mind
Suddenly, Yuexing stood up, the space in the room became distorted, and a muscular white-haired figure walked out with a smile.
"Why, Yuexing, you finally remembered me?" Youmeng patted Yuexing on the shoulder.
"Can you please take a look at the current situation?" Yuexing rolled her eyes.
Youmeng looked around and noticed the scattered corpses outside the house and the blood scattered on the ground.
"What... happened?" Youmeng said seriously, a fierce aura emerged.
"Rem will explain to you that now your mission is to protect them. I want to go into the house and take a look at the situation," Yuexing said calmly.
"Are you sure you don't need my help? I can easily kill them—"
"——No, it's not necessary. If another guy arrives and I haven't come out yet, please protect that guy."
Youmeng nodded and looked at Rem
"Let me help treat this girl."
"Okay, please." Yuexing nodded and walked towards the mansion without looking back.
