As the fragments melted rapidly, the dream space completely disappeared, and the surroundings became dark again, but the light emitted from our bodies was enough for us to see each other's position clearly.
"We're not out of danger yet, so we still have to be careful," Blake told me in a low voice.
"Well..." I just responded, but I saw many red dots suddenly appeared around me, and there were a lot of them, approaching us. I was startled by them, and the red dots were getting bigger and bigger.
Only then did I realize that those red dots were actually pairs of eyes! Obviously, we were surrounded by a group of elves again, and they should be the same group as the elves who just chased us.
"It's the Demon Lord's army. We are being targeted by the Demon Lord." Blake reacted immediately.
"They finally appeared! This time they can't escape even if they have wings!" I heard a voice say in the darkness.
"Yes! They are dead." This was followed by many echoing voices.
"So you guys have been staying outside." Blake raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said, "However, you are wrong. The next ones are going to die...it's you!" Blake held the two crystal balls and combined their energy with himself.
, at the same time, his body was also changing. A purple light surrounded him, and he evolved again into the God of Night Demons - Black.
"Come together! Capture them!" The group of elves were extremely angry. They rushed from all directions and fired countless red light balls, like fireworks, hitting us overwhelmingly.
"Phantom Shield!" Blake calmly released the shield, doubling all the red light balls that hit him and rebounding them back. Soon, screams, roars, and the sound of broken bones were all mixed together.
, it was noisy.
"Fallen Revenge Kill!" While they were panicking, Blake launched a unique move, and howls came one after another. In just a few seconds, those glowing red eyes dimmed, leaving only Blake's purple energy in my eyes.
Moving quickly in front of me.
"It's over." Blake came around behind me at some point, patted my shoulder and said, "Let's go." As he spoke, he had already flown forward for some distance.
I was just about to follow Blake, but suddenly I felt something hit me on the back. I looked back, and I was shocked into a cold sweat again. It turned out to be the stump of an elf! There was purple fluid flowing on it.
Blood! I looked around again, and the air was actually filled with the corpses of elves, and they were all mutilated...
"You... are really super cruel!" I couldn't help but sigh. However, thinking about it carefully, Blake had been a killer in the evil spirit organization for a long time, so it was reasonable for him to be so cruel. Maybe his
That habit has not been completely corrected yet.
"They're just some minions, don't worry about them." Blake had returned to his normal form at this time. He glanced at me and said disapprovingly.
Next, Blake took me to Grace Star to rest. During this period, he didn't say anything and kept frowning slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
As soon as we arrived at Grace Planet, Lant rushed towards us enthusiastically. He flapped his wings frequently and was extremely excited.
"Lant, long time no see!" I was infected by his enthusiasm, and soon forgot all the unpleasant experiences before, and started playing with Lant. He tilted his head, lay on my shoulder, and talked to me endlessly.
Tell what happened on Grace Star.
"You two, be quiet." Blake, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, and we stopped and stared at him. But what he said next shocked us.
"I feel like a huge conspiracy is about to surface." Black said seriously.
"Conspiracy? What conspiracy?" Lant and I both stared.
"Wesker, Kaios, Black Soldier, Unica...the appearance of these guys is indeed not accidental. There is some kind of special connection between them." Blake saw our puzzled faces and continued:
"These elves seem to have nothing to do with each other, but in fact they are connected together and converge into a very strong evil force. And the person who brings them together is the mastermind behind the scenes, which is what Kaios mentioned.
...The Demon King."
"Demon Lord? Please explain it clearly." Seeing that Blake was not joking at all, I became serious and listened to his analysis carefully.
"I remember that when I was in the Evil Spirit Organization, I secretly overheard Wesker talking about his boss. He also called this boss the Demon Lord, and he respected the Demon Lord very much. The Demon Lord would often pass through a strange way.
He contacted Wesker through various methods, but this mysterious demon king has never shown his face, and even Wesker has never seen his true face." Black tried to remember.
"So, do you think this demon king is the same elf as the demon king mentioned by Kaios?" I asked.
Blake nodded and said: "As for Unika, I think he was bewitched by the Demon Lord. He is not bad at heart, but his desire for power is too strong. The Demon Lord should have just ordered him to wake up Kaios, but
Unika has other ambitions, and instead starts a decisive battle with Kaios. The devil will inevitably be angry, so he will punish Unika... Let’s not talk about this for now, the key is that there are more and more evil forces appearing now, and they are getting stronger and stronger.
However, the Demon Lord never showed up, and instead let these elves test us and consume our energy." Black breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed, and said, "But... this is just my guess. As for this Demon Lord,
Who he is and what his ultimate goal is is still unknown."
"What you said makes sense." Lant and I were both stunned and looked up at Blake.
"Anyway, we have to be careful now." Black glanced at me and said worriedly: "Cassius, if what the Dream King said is true, then you are likely to be in danger next."
"I understand, I will be careful." I nodded vigorously.
"Lant, protect Cassius, you guys have a good rest tonight. Next, I'm going to the Altar of Light." Black ordered.
"Other questions...you mean...the God Stone that I need for my super evolution? And the Blood of Justice?" I asked.
"That's right...I have no clue about these things at the moment." Blake frowned again.
"Okay, let's go rest! Don't disturb Blake's thinking!" Lant grabbed my ear and pulled me forward.
"Okay, okay! I can walk on my own." I struggled to get rid of Lant, but lost my balance and fell.
Lant laughed for a while before flapping his wings and flying away. I quickly got up and chased Lant.
"Oh... I wish I could live as carefree as him, without having to worry about anything..." Blake looked at Cassius's retreating figure and said to himself.
Lant was still flying in front of me, but I was tired from running, so I had to rest on a rock. Unexpectedly, I fell asleep during this rest. Lant flew back and circled around me, and
He lay down silently.
Night fell, and the star of Grace became extremely cold. I woke up from my dream, so I stood up and looked for a warmer place to sleep. Not long after, the wind started to blow, and the wind became stronger and stronger, and I suddenly woke up.
I learned a lot and had a bit of an ominous premonition.
Sure enough, not long after, I vaguely saw a purple mist appearing in front of me. I became alert and asked sharply: "Who is it?"
"Cassius, why are you so fierce! It's me, Yumina!" I saw Yumina slowly walking out of the purple mist.
"Why did you come to me again? Is it related to your brother again?" I took a step back.
"Yes, unfortunately my brother is locked up, and only you can save him. I know you are the best, Cassius..." Yumina started crying again, and was about to lean towards me as she spoke.
"Are you kidding...how can I save him..." I felt very depressed. Every time she came to me, nothing good happened, and it was always related to his crazy brother. This really made me helpless...
"Just follow me." Yumina said and took my hand.
"Dragon soaring all over the world!" At this time, a burst of white energy rushed over, knocking Yumina back far.
"Stay away from Cassius!" Rant flew over and stared at Yumina angrily.
"Oh...you little dragon, you are really tough. I just want Cassius to go with me..." Yumina said with a sad face, covering the painful place where she was hit.
"My master has ordered that no one can get close to Cassius!" Rant flew in front of me and said.
"Your master...it's that Black again..." Yumina rolled her eyes and said viciously: "I tell you, Cassius must be taken away today! Since you don't drink the toast, you will be fined.
Then don’t blame us for being rude!”
"You...you?" I suddenly felt bad. Could it be that she had some accomplices? It seemed that the matter was not simple. It was probably the Demon King who sent them here.
I saw many robots suddenly appearing in the sky. They were equipped with aircraft and had guns in their hands, all aiming at us.
【Grace Star●Altar of Light】
Blake stood in front of the altar for a long time, stroking the groove on it, where the seeds of light once were. Blake squatted down and prayed silently, hoping to receive revelations from his deceased ancestors. However, at this time, the air was filled with
The smell of gunpowder and steel made him alert. The moon was covered by thick dark clouds, and the surroundings became dark and scary.
"Evil spirit attack!" Blake's eyes suddenly lit up, he jumped up suddenly, and fired countless purple light balls into the air. However, when the purple light balls passed through the dark clouds, they were dissolved by a strange force.
"As expected of the light guardian of the Star of Grace, his insight and agility are much better than those of ordinary elves!" A mechanical voice was heard reaching Blake's ears through the clouds.
"Hmph... You are really going to do whatever it takes to chase us! They have actually followed us to the Grace Planet. Tell me, who are you?" Black asked coldly.
"Dean, the leader of the Obi Organization" saw a robot slowly emerging from the clouds. He was also equipped with an aircraft, with laser cannons installed on both arms, and behind him was a long, scorpion-like tail.
.
Immediately afterwards, his men emerged from all around, all holding guns, surrounding Blake, and slowly approached Blake. The cold barrel of the gun almost touched less than one meter away from Blake.
"I've long heard that there is a group of pirates in this universe who do all kinds of evil, called the Obi Organization. It turns out it's you. Since you are not from the Demon Lord, why are you visiting Grace Star late at night?" Black tilted his head and looked at it.
He looked at Dean, then stretched out his hand to repel all the approaching robots.
"We are allies with that demon king, and the elves he wants to capture are also the elves we want to capture." Dean smiled and said: "I advise you not to act rashly. Being shot by this laser cannon is not something you can bear.
of."
"I don't believe that." Blake jumped up and disappeared into the night. Just when the pirates were confused, he suddenly appeared again. Blake's hands were holding two huge energy balls, and
Quickly throw the energy ball and hit the pirates hard.
At this time, there was only a "boom!" sound, and the surrounding area was instantly surrounded by smoke. All the stones were exploded and turned into powder. It turned out that Dean had fired a shot at Blake, and at this time, Blake was trying his best to use his gun.
The phantom shield protected him, but in the end it was no match for the power of the cannonball. A powerful laser shot straight into his chest...
"Hit." Dean showed a sly smile, and then he ordered his men to catch Blake.
"Black mist!" Blake slowly uttered two words, and a layer of black mist surrounded him again, completely blocking the pirates' sight.
"Don't panic! He can't run far. There are still blood stains on the ground. Search carefully for me!" Dean ordered.
"Cough...cough..." The extreme discomfort in his throat made Blake cough. The wound on his chest was already bleeding. He was a little surprised. It turned out that those tin men had such powerful weapons, but after all, they were still
I was careless.
"Blake, why are you doing this? Wouldn't it be nice to follow us to the Demon Lord?" Dean's voice suddenly came from behind.
"Stop talking nonsense." Blake's right hand was trying to gather energy, preparing to attack again.
"Then... boys, come again! Equip them all with the highest-grade equipment for me!" Dean said with a smile.
Bullets hit Blake like raindrops. Although the power of these bullets was much less powerful than Dean's laser cannon, it was enough to cause Blake pain for a while. Some of the bullets were deflected by Blake's protective energy, but they hit
The bullet was deeply embedded in his skin.
Blake leaned down, closed his eyes, and stopped moving.
"General Dean, is he dead?" asked a pirate soldier.
"Impossible, he won't die that easily." Dean's answer was very certain. So, the pirate soldiers rushed forward, preparing to tie up Blake and take him away.
However, just as the pirates started fiddling with the rope, Black suddenly jumped up from the ground and hit the ground with his fist. The violent vibration drove all the pirates back.
"Double Shadow!" Blake took the opportunity to transform into a clone and released all his energy. The strong air flow knocked Dean to the ground.
"Give them all to me...get out of Star Grace!" Black roared angrily, releasing countless Night Demon balls, which sent the pirates flying. Dean was also shocked by Black's explosive power, but he just waved his hand and said: "Quickly
Withdraw! The goal has been achieved!"
In the blink of an eye, the pirate ship hanging in the sky rushed down and took the pirates away, and they quickly disappeared without a trace.
"No...their real target must be Cassius." Black suddenly realized a more serious problem. The reason why those pirates were so entangled was just to distract him.
Blake dragged his exhausted body to find Cassius in the woods. However, the dizziness in his head and the wounds on his body kept tormenting him, slowing him down a lot.
【Cassius Lanter's side】
"Dragon Wave!" Although Lant has temporarily evolved into Solant, it is still very difficult to deal with those robots.
"Quantum extinction wave!" I stretched out my arm and released a white energy wave, instantly smashing several robots to pieces, but there were more robots surrounding us.
Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain in my left arm. It turned out that a robot aimed at me and fired a shot. I was so painful that I couldn't speak. However, it was too late to react. The bullets came one after another and left marks on my legs.
There were so many bullet marks that I could barely stand up.
"Cassius!" Solant screamed: "I'm sorry, I didn't protect you."
"It doesn't matter..." I gritted my teeth and got up, but the wound was bleeding.
"Damn it...why do I always have to stand behind other elves and always need their protection..." I looked at these cold robots in front of me, extremely unwilling, and a fire of ignorance ignited in my heart.
I held two balls of blue energy in my hands, and rushed towards them despite the hail of bullets, crushing them all. At this moment, I no longer felt the pain, and I just desperately wanted to kill the group of robots in front of me.
"Disillusionment!" I bombarded them like crazy. Parts were flying in the sky, the robots fell to the ground one after another, and the guns and aircraft were all smashed to pieces by me. I still tirelessly vented the anger in my heart,
Until Blake's voice rang in my ears: "Cassius, all the pirates have been wiped out, but they probably still have reinforcements. Come with me quickly. It's not a good time to stay here."
"You're finally here." I looked back at Blake, and all my strength disappeared at this moment. I almost collapsed on the ground. The attack just now had severely exhausted my strength, and now it was difficult to even stand up.
"What should I do with Lant... He is also seriously injured." I turned my head and looked at Lant. He was lying on the ground breathing heavily. There were also marks on his wings that had been torn by sharp objects. It was distressing to look at.
"I have my own arrangements with Lant, just follow me." Black smiled strangely, helped me up, and I walked forward with his help.
"Where are we going now?" I couldn't help but ask.
"Go to a place you haven't been before." Blake still maintained that weird smile.
"Huh?" I felt something was wrong: "Blake, you look a little strange now, you have a creepy smile."
"Huh huh huh... It seems I can't pretend anymore." Blake suddenly stopped and stared at me, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
"You...who are you?" I tried my best to break free from his hand, but fell to the ground. My legs had no strength to support me standing up.
Black stopped talking. He stretched out his right hand and hit me hard on the back of the neck. My vision suddenly went dark and I fainted.
Blake's body was glowing with lavender light, and her appearance changed, eventually transforming into Yumina.
"I'm sorry, in order to get my brother back, I have to do this." Yumina looked at Cassius lying on the ground apologetically, then whistled into the air, and a pirate spaceship flew up from above.
A few pirates came down, tied up Cassius, and took him to the spaceship...
After a while, Blake hurried over, but everything in front of him told him: it was already too late. The ground was covered with scrapped pirate bodies and broken bullet casings, and Solant also fell dying in a pool of blood, with blood all over his body.
Blood red scars.
"Solant..." Blake hurriedly leaned down to check Solant's wounds. Fortunately, no critical injuries were caused, but Solant's body was already too weak and he degenerated into Rante.
"Blake, have you brought Cassius to a safe place?" Lant asked.
"What?" Blake was stunned when he heard this. His eyes widened, then he stood up slowly, clenched his fists and said, "Lant, you have been deceived. There must be an elf pretending to be me and taking Cassius away."
gone."
"So...could it be Yumina!" Rant suddenly realized. He struggled to hold Blake's cloak in his mouth and said, "This is bad. Go chase her! She shouldn't be far away...
"
"Cassius..." Blake's body trembled, but as soon as his feet took a step, he stopped again. Then, he lowered his head and his clenched fists gradually loosened.
"It's useless. They have gone far. I don't know where the Demon King and those pirates are." Black sat on the ground, sighed and said in frustration: "I just didn't expect that the prophecy came so quickly. Look.
What the Dream King said is true, we cannot prevent the tragedy from happening..."
"It's my fault. I shouldn't have led Cassius so far away." Lant was extremely regretful: "I was so stupid that I caused this kind of thing to happen to my friend."
"Friends... I can't even protect my two best friends, what can I do?" Blake hugged Lant and murmured to himself.
"Guardian... don't be too sad. Everything will be fine." The elves from Grace Star stepped forward to comfort them and bandage the wounds of Black and Rant.
"It turns out that I'm not worthy of guarding Grace Star at all. I can't do it..." Blake held his head in his hands, his eyes dull, and kept repeating this sentence. Finally, his whole body curled up, and his eyes lost their former luster.
"Blake...are you okay..." The elves looked at each other, at a loss. Rand also looked at Black sadly. He had no choice at the moment, and the atmosphere seemed extremely heavy... (To be continued)
