The moment the shadow appeared silently, Yi Lin's pupils shrank suddenly.
He reminded loudly.
But the shadow appeared too abruptly, too strangely, without warning.
Just like in the normal high jump session of high school physical education class, the physical education teacher has long expected that someone will jump out with excellent results - but he will not expect that someone will grow invisible wings and fly dozens of meters high.
I believe that the physical education teacher’s reaction would not be much faster than Yi Lin’s now.
too suddenly!
Even before setting off, Yi Lin issued a warning to everyone.
According to his autopsy results, the red-haired man died suddenly.
The location where he was stabbed was a secret place. Normally, with the red hair's strength, it would be impossible for someone to stab him here without some preparation.
But he was still stabbed.
This led Yi Lin to speculate that in the enemy camp, there was also an enemy who was very good at assassination, hiding in the dark.
The assassin easily killed the red-haired man!
That’s not an ordinary person!
Top 100 in the world!
To be honest, in a head-to-head fight, those with similar rankings are almost in the middle. What ultimately affects the outcome is some external factors. For example, the scene, mentality, conflicting skills, etc.
The enemy assassin can easily kill the red hair. In other words, under the same conditions, it can kill everyone present.
What's even more frightening is that
Red Hair's skin was tougher than rhinoceros skin. When Yi Lin found a blunt meat chopping knife in the city of Uruk, he sawed it back and forth for a long time, painstakingly cutting open the skin around Red Hair's wound.
At that time, I discovered something terrible.
His internal organs seemed to be intact on the surface, but Yi Lin just touched them lightly with his fingers, and they were all broken into pieces and turned into rustling powder.
This is the real cause of death for redheads!
The cause of his death did not focus on the wounds on the surface, but on the inside.
The red-haired man's internal organs were "killed" the moment he was stabbed.
Yes.
kill.
Witnessing the changes in the red hair's body, a word flashed subconsciously in Yi Lin's mind.
——"kill".
This is not destruction, destruction, smashing... or any other phenomenon that can be understood from the physical level.
so,
Before departure.
Yi Lin did not hide anything and told the other five people about the cause of Hong Hair's death.
As for how this conclusion was reached, Yi Lin did not elaborate.
The red hair has been laid to rest, and the soil on the grave has been trampled firmly, so there is no need to make him feel uneasy.
After learning the real way of death of the red-haired man, except for Gu Tianqing, everyone else's expressions did not look good.
Gu Tianqing was forced to keep her face tight, but who knows what's going on in her heart.
The moment the shadow appears.
Yi Lin reminded.
Gu Tianqing's pupils shrank suddenly.
He instantly burst out with the strength that a spearman should have, like a rainbow, leaving the place at an incredible speed.
but,
That shadow clung to Gu Tianqing, like a real shadow, like a tarsal maggot that was difficult to shake off.
"I'm dying."
Gu Tianqing chuckled, his face filled with indescribable happiness. But while saying this, he suddenly took out the stack of tarot cards.
The dark female spirit disappeared in a flash behind Gu Tianqing.
Shadow's knife was thrust into Gu Tianqing's back as soon as Gu Tianqing finished speaking.
"ah--!!"
The dark resentful spirit let out a shrill cry and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
After Gu Tianqing was stabbed, she suddenly fell forward.
"Free Method·Crimson Chain!"
Yi Lin's eyes narrowed. He had already put on the hanging ring, and circles of magic lines appeared on his wrist. From the magic circle, lightning bolts were like chains, and they were drawn towards the shadow behind Gu Tianqing.
Except for Yi Lin.
Michelle, who was the first to react, was already holding a scythe. The sonic boom was deafening, and she instantly passed through the shadow.
Mirien and Bol were not idle. In no particular order, Mirien's invisible sword and Bol's pipe struck behind Gu Tianqing's shadow almost at the same time.
Gu Tianqing does not know whether he is alive or dead. At this time, they do not dare to use too terrifying skills to risk death. If Gu Tianqing is not dead and they kill him, it will be really tragic.
All attacks passed through the shadow strangely.
The shadow succeeded with one blow, let out a weird laugh, and then disappeared in the blink of an eye.
It's as if it had never appeared.
"noob!"
The vision of the spirit and the perception of telekinesis were released at the same time. When Yi Lin noticed that the "Crimson Chain" had failed, he tried his best to capture the movement of the shadow.
But whether in perception or in the spiritual field of vision, the surrounding space, including the back of Gu Tianqing, was empty, as if the shadow had never appeared.
Failed!
Gu Tianqing fell to the ground.
The shadow succeeded and disappeared.
Everyone's faces, including Yi Lin's, didn't look very good.
In reality, they are among the top 100 experts!
Even if he didn't have a good time in the Age of Gods, he was still a heroic spirit!
That strange shadow actually stabbed Gu Tianqing arrogantly under their noses despite their advance precautions. Although the knife was not stabbed on them, they felt no pain or itching, and they did not feel the same way.
It would be a bit embarrassing.
Mirien cut a hole in the ground with a sword, her face was sullen and she was in a bad mood.
Gu Tianqing stood up.
He lowered his head and said nothing.
Yi Lin took a deep breath and temporarily let Xiaobai lie down wherever he could to cool down. He walked to Gu Tianqing and asked, "How long can you probably live?"
When Gu Tianqing heard this, he raised his head and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly: "What you mean by this is that you think I am dead?"
"Otherwise? Weren't you stabbed?"
Yi Lin said matter-of-factly.
"yes."
Gu Tianqing sighed softly and showed the tarot cards in front of Yi Lin: "If it weren't for Freya, I would be dead."
Yi Lin roughly understood that "Freya" was the name of Gu Tianqing's spirit.
I saw that in that deck of tarot cards, there was a dazzling crack on the back of almost every card out of thin air.
Putting the whole deck of cards in Gu Tianqing's hands, there is no longer the feeling of forgetting the mystery and evil, but it really looks like an ordinary deck of tarot cards.
"what happened?"
Yi Lin frowned.
"Being 'killed'."
Gu Tianqing said.
"Kill?"
"Yes, I used the 'Replacement' deck and used Freya to bear the fatal injury for me."
"Isn't the spirit immortal?"
"Under normal circumstances, no." Gu Tianqing shook his head, with a rare hint of bitterness on his face: "Usually, this move can only be regarded as a life-saving skill with a long cooldown. But this time is different, I
I can no longer feel Freya, as if that knife killed her, completely."
Bol reappeared out of the smoke.
She rubbed her eyebrows and said indifferently: "There is good news."
Everyone's eyes turned to Bol, who nodded, without hiding the good news or using old-fashioned phrases like "I have two pieces of news, one good and one bad. Which one do you want to hear first?" and so on, and said directly: "I'm in it."
There are 'coordinates' left on the body, I will know it when it appears again."
Yi Lin thought for a moment and said thoughtfully: "The way of positioning, it turns out to be smoke."
Bol's cold eyes suddenly stared at Yi Lin.
She didn't expect that the secret she used to track would be revealed by Yi Lin.
You know, you can only be friends if you see through it but don’t tell it!
Yi Lin did guess the opponent's tracking method.
Boer's smoke has no smell.
When she was in Munich, she also used this method to track Cecilia all the way to the town of Ucker.
Yi Lin is not sure about the specific method.
It should be...inhaling smoke? Or the body is covered with smoke?
It's a bit awesome.
Hard to guard against.
But if Yi Lin guessed correctly, this useful skill may have great limitations.
For example, only one target can be tracked at the same time, or targets cannot be switched within a certain period of time, etc.
Now only Boll can confirm the existence of that shadow.
Six heroic spirits are on the road again.
on the way.
Yi Lin suddenly remembered something.
He asked Gu Tianqing depressedly: "In other words, your Tarot cards are useless?"
"Yeah, it's useless."
Gu Tianqing smiled and replied: "I suddenly feel better."
"..." Yi Lin was silent for a moment: "Do you think the spirit can come back to life after going out?"
"Who knows."
Gu Tianqing shrugged, looking indifferent.
Yi Lin didn't dare to be careless.
On the way to the destination, he summoned Bai Xiaoyi.
Follow him all the way behind his ass and keep an eye on his anus.
Yi Lin's perception was unable to detect the existence of the shadow, so she could only use this stupid method.
Bai Xiaoyi learned from Gu Tianqing's mouth that the other party's ability could actually "kill" spirits directly, and her expression was a bit nervous. She always thought that spirits were immortal, but a monster actually appeared here.
, can directly kill spirits, which is very scary.
Kotomine, who had been somewhat taciturn since leaving Uruk City, suddenly said: "Have you noticed that the shadow that attacked us and killed Joe D. Solomon has a similar ability to Miss Ball?
"
"You just found out?" Yi Lin, who was riding on the Dire saddle, said helplessly: "I was just wondering if the one who killed the red-haired man and stabbed Gu Tianqing was "Assassin"."
Yi Lin's words caused everyone's expressions to change dramatically.
Assassin!
If it were the class skill "Aura Blocking" of "Assassin", everything would be explained!
No one could detect the assassin's presence.
That's because the assassin who appeared out of thin air and stabbed the red hair and Gu Tianqing's spirit to death was a unique heroic spirit that came out of the Throne of Heroes and was strengthened by the Holy Grail!
——"Assassin"!
The eighth heroic spirit who appeared in the Age of Gods!
Kotomine's fair words gave everyone a bad feeling.
But because there is no evidence, no one investigates further.
Discussion without evidence is just a waste of time.
But among them, the possibility of an eighth heroic spirit appeared, like a haze, lingering in the hearts of the six surviving heroic spirits.
What if the other party is really the second "Assassin"?
What if the shadow that stabbed the red hair to death was really the eighth heroic spirit?
"This is not the worst outcome."
Yi Lin ended this topic with a simple sentence.
yes,
Everyone understands instantly.
That shadow is "Assassin". This is not the worst outcome.
On the battlefield, the eighth heroic spirit appeared, which was not the worst outcome.
The worst result is that the ninth, tenth, eleventh, or even more heroic spirits will appear on the battlefield!
This is not a serious Holy Grail War, and according to Kotomine, who knows the history of the Holy Grail War, he has said that among the several Holy Grail Wars in the past, there have been "extra heroic spirits" in more than one serious Holy Grail War.
Here is a piece of trivia: the Holy Grail War was supposed to involve seven Heroic Spirits, but the emergence of an eighth Heroic Spirit seems to be the norm in the Holy Grail War.
Human beings will always find ways to take advantage of loopholes, cheat and so on.
The shadow did not appear again after attacking Gu Tianqing.
In this regard, Yi Lin did not provide any reliable analysis.
Finally, at dawn.
They reached the "end".
Yes,
The end.
This is also the place where Boll initially wanted to take everyone to see with their own eyes.
When they came here, they truly understood what kind of place the "Heavenly Palace Uruk" they were standing under was like.
In the distance, there is an endless sea of clouds.
Underfoot, there are patches of clouds.
They were standing on the edge of the land, overlooking the ground.
They are high in the sky.
Tiangong, as the name suggests, is a continent floating in the sky!
And Uruk is actually a city built in the sky!
"This is impossible!"
Kotomine didn't know if he was afraid of heights, so he was so frightened that he quickly took a few steps back and sat down on the ground.
"really."
Yi Lin said calmly.
He wasn't too shocked.
In fact, whether it was the angle of the setting sun's reflection or the thin air, Yi Lin noticed a sense of dissonance.
When the facts are in front of you, everything becomes explainable.
All the clues are strung together.
In front of everyone, Yi Lin jumped down and jumped into the clouds.
Others watched Yi Lin jump into the sea of clouds with their own eyes and did not stop her.
First, Yi Lin jumped too fast, and second, they couldn't stop her.
Michelle's expression changed slightly, and she also left Uruk at the speed of sound.
The howling wind roared in Yilin's ears.
The cold mist wetted Yi Lin's magician's robe as it fell, and the surface was covered with water droplets.
falling,
sink,
Free fall.
Here, it is by no means only three thousand meters in the sky.
Here, above the clouds.
This is the age of the gods!
This is the time when the sky still belongs to humans!
Yi Lin took a deep breath, passed through the clouds, and her eyes suddenly opened up.
A barren land with rolling mountains.
Rivers, mountains, oceans, ice and snow, deserts, and all kinds of terrain can be seen at a glance from high in the sky.
This is a scorched earth.
Every corner of the world is dotted with fire.
Wherever humans have set foot, there is nothing left but ruins, desolate and uninhabited.
Corpses fell one after another in the wilderness, already turned into bones.
This world is eerily quiet.
Whether it was humans, animals, fish, birds, or insects, Yi Lin could not find any traces of any living thing on this barren land.
finally,
Yi Lin fell to the ground.
He stepped on scorched earth.
A series of ferocious ravines were left on the ground, stretching from Yi Lin's feet to the end of the horizon. I don't know what kind of creature or what kind of weapon could leave such terrible traces.
The carcass of an unknown species of giant beast, with its uneven spine like rolling hills, lay spread across the wilderness.
The red and turbid river has lost its due vitality.
In the forest where only half of the tree stumps were left, there were piles of corpses lying around, no one cared about them.
In front of Yi Lin's eyes, there was no familiar scenery.
The smell of despair spreads in the air.
Yi Lin stood there.
I don't know how long it took.
The sun rises in the east.
The air temperature gradually changes from cool to hot.
In my ears, there was no other sound except the whistling wind.
There was total silence in this world, and Yi Lin suddenly had the illusion that he was the last human being alive in the world.
Step, step, step.
In the dead silence of the world, heavy footsteps could be heard behind Yi Lin.
Yi Lin did not look back.
He knew who was coming.
"do you understand?"
King Gilgamesh, from unknown time, walked up to Yi Lin and stood side by side with Yi Lin.
Yi Lin looked at King Gilgamesh and said nothing.
He looked at the endless desolation and chuckled:
"This is the wrath of God, this is the end of the world, and this is the price of "Xi" challenging "Lord", "
