In the dark corridor, the two yellowish lights were very dim. Edel held on to the wall and moved forward step by step with difficulty.
"If you go any further, you will die."
He knew this very well, but he still didn't stop.
For some reason, a picture emerged in his mind.
White seagulls, fishing boats parked in the harbor, and cats stealing fish.
Edel was born in a small fishing village and has lived on a fishing boat as long as he can remember. He only goes to land to buy water and food. Like all children born on a fishing boat, he yearns for the land and dreams of it.
I want to buy a house on land.
Like most people on the water, they had no way to leave the sea or the fishing boat.
Until when he was thirteen years old, they encountered a pirate ship, which changed Edel's life.
That day, he lost his family and everything, and lived as a coolie in the dark below the deck for three years. However, he still made a friend, a person who had the same experience as him, and also had the same dream.
In the most difficult days, the two encouraged each other and agreed to escape from here together and gain freedom.
During a storm, they took advantage of the chaos and tried to escape, but were discovered by the pirate captain. The two were caught. In front of Edel, his friend was thrown into the turbulent sea. In despair, a black
The magic appeared in Edel's body.
Only later did he discover that he might be a gifted person with special powers.
He survived alone. After wandering at sea for two months, he arrived on land.
But after escaping from the sea, he discovered that the land was not a paradise. While on the pirate ship, he was immediately thrown into prison by the local city guard. He tried his best to prove his innocence, but the final result was the death penalty.
.
They hate pirates and will not let go even if they kill the wrong person.
Edel could only run away and use his abilities, but his profile picture was posted all over the country.
He didn't do any bad things, but he became a vicious pirate fugitive. He lived a life of fear every day. No one was willing to lend a helping hand to him, and he couldn't work like a normal person.
He can only use his ability to steal things for a living.
But every time he uses his powers, his crime will be magnified, and the undeserved name of the terrible Phantom Thief will be placed on his head.
There are even many powerful people who come to catch him, but with his ability, few can catch him.
During the days of his escape, he gradually began to miss the life on the fishing boat. The past days with his family were boring but peaceful.
But there was no coming back, he couldn't go back to the past.
Just as he was gradually becoming numb, Reyelle Phoenix appeared. She was the only one willing to listen to Edel and the only one who believed in him.
"Do you really believe what I say?"
"Um."
Leir, who was wearing a long skirt and carrying an umbrella, said with a smile. Standing behind her was an old man with a serious face. Edel, who slipped away from many experts, understood that the two people in front of him were very powerful.
"Don't you doubt me? What if I'm lying?"
Edel asked in surprise.
Rael shook her head and said, "No, because there are four words written on your face."
"Please help me."
Hearing this, Edel's eyes widened and he froze on the spot.
"How about it, do you want to join me, or do you want to continue running away?"
He looked at the hand stretched out to him, and it seemed like he was dreaming at that moment.
The eldest lady is his lifelong benefactor.
In the darkness, Edel's eyes suddenly became firm, and he suddenly looked forward: I will go through fire and water for her!
Bang!
He opened the door, and the huge room was very bright. The light of magic shone dazzlingly on every part of the room. And all the light came from the room. In the hourglass-like device, in the hourglass, there was a star.
The huge luminous crystal is the core of the city barrier, a super crystal with a huge amount of magic power.
The console is a lever located under the core.
But now it's blocked by a monster.
The monster's skin was like steel, with a metallic luster. Although it still retained a human body shape, it had terrifying crosses on its face, and terrifying teeth could be vaguely seen inside.
The terrifying dark magic was emanating from it. All the cells in Edel's body were trembling. His instinct told him that this monster was very dangerous.
But it doesn't matter, the situation is very favorable to Edel. He only needs to destroy the crystal or pull the switch. The other party needs to fight with himself while protecting those things.
There is hope! Very hopeful!
Edel gritted his teeth.
"Here it comes! My new toy! Kill him for me!"
The blond girl suddenly shouted, and the monster suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes glowed with a terrible red light, and suddenly opened his mouth wide and roared at Edel.
"oh!!"
Terrible strong winds spurt out from its mouth, forming a terrifying air current that can easily blow people away.
Edel's feet were glued to the ground and he leaned forward, resisting the force.
Suddenly, the monster rushed forward, waved its arms, and punched with a right fist.
That's it!
There was no blood from the monster in the room, and Edel could escape into the shadows. His body quickly turned black, melted into the ground in an instant, and swam under the monster's feet.
However, the monster immediately turned around, knelt down on one knee and hit the floor with both fists. There was a sudden bang, and the terrifying force caused the floor to immediately shatter and collapse.
Bang!!
"ah!"
Edel, who was hiding in the floor, was shaken out by the opponent's magic power. As the floor fell down, the monster fell first.
Watching the target leave little by little, Edel suddenly stretched out his right hand, and a black thread shot out and stuck to the wall.
"very good!!"
Edel seized the opportunity, tightened the thread, and quickly pulled him up.
However, at this moment, the fallen monster suddenly stretched out its hand and grabbed it on the wall. Then it raised its head, jumped on the wall, and was in front of Edel in an instant.
"How is that possible!"
Edel was shocked and saw the monster clasping his hands together and hitting Edel like a giant hammer.
but!
The moment Edel was hit, his upper body turned into a dark shadow, and was suddenly beaten into black smoke. His lower body was still moving, and suddenly he kicked the monster in the face with a roundhouse kick, and then continued
Houjin jumped away.
When the monster reacted, he found a black rope on his face.
It seemed to have a slightly surprised expression. Looking down, it discovered that the black rope actually spread out and connected to the countless rubble underneath. It turned out that when he escaped into the floor, he had already integrated the shadow into it.
At this moment, the flying black smoke gathered on Edel's lower body, gradually changing back to its original appearance.
"receive!"
He shouted, and suddenly the countless black lines tightened rapidly, and the rubble flew up towards the monster's face like cannonballs.
