Chapter 212 The sudden attack on Chen Guang (Part 1)
At five o'clock the next morning, the battle conference room of the Southern Sky Knights.
"Tomorrow is the duel between you and Hall. Do you really do this without thinking about anything?" Tristan said in surprise, "If you were missing an arm and a leg------"
"It's so noisy, you don't have to worry about me!" Arthur said angrily.
"I'm ready." Palamedes wrapped a bandage tightly around his abdomen. He thought this would protect his internal organs from being injured when moving at high speed.
"I want to go too, Arthur..." Bedivere winked at Arthur pleadingly.
"No, it's already seriously full." Arthur said, "Me, Merlin, Lianyin, Evan, Tristan, Paramedis, and Ryder*. That's the seven of us."
(*Note: Rabbit Ryder’s memory is required to teleport.)
"Unless you think your boy's ability can replace someone in this team, you'd better stay here obediently." Arthur said ruthlessly.
"Ugh." Bedivere, who knew he was wronged, shrank back and said, "Okay... I just want to help Ryder when he needs help the most."
"...Bevier..." Rabbit was still affected by the surgery and was mentally weak. He said indifferently: "I will be fine, you don't have to worry."
Hearing what Rabbit said, and remembering the lie that Rabbit told Bedivere when he asked "We are friends," the werewolf boy couldn't help but feel a twinge in his heart.
"Okay, it's time for us to set off." Arthur urged, "We'll be in trouble when daylight comes."
In fact, the sunrise time in the Underdark is at noon. This kind of sneak attack in the early morning is very stupid, Tristan thought. But he didn't think much and just teleported out with everyone.
"Whoosh!" The group of people were teleported into a huge space.
"Not good!" Merlin shouted, and immediately placed something similar to a magic shield, protecting everyone while falling.
They landed smoothly on the ground, and at the same time, Arthur also looked at Bedivere who had "smuggled in" angrily.
"Bedi, do you want to die?!" His face became very scary, "If you want to die, just hit the wall and die yourself. Don't drag everyone down! You followed casually and caused the teleportation technique to deviate. We
They were all trapped in the ground and there was a big explosion* and they were killed. Are you responsible?!"
(*Note: Teleportation magic is equivalent to quantizing a group of people to move at high speed. If the teleportation fails and falls into the ground, it is equivalent to hitting a solid body at a speed close to the speed of light, which will produce a very terrifying big explosion.)
"If I were not a genius in controlling teleportation spells, we would have died long ago." Merlin also chided, "You little brat, you should be more willful and measured!"
Being bombarded by Arthur and Merlin in turn, Bedivere huddled in a corner and said, "Yes, I'm sorry------"
"That's enough. It's useless to blame you now, so let's focus on the battle first." Arthur said.
"By the way, where is this place?"
This huge space should be somewhere underground in the research institute.
There are huge iron cages everywhere, containing countless creatures.
"Here, here -------" When Ryder saw this place, he was so frightened that his legs were weak. He lay on the ground unable to move and could only keep trembling, "No! Don't, don't hit me!"
Arthur looked at the experimental animals in the iron cages. They were very miserable. Their whole bodies were pricked with various sharp needles. It would be very painful to move!
"What are you doing?" Arthur asked.
"Experiments in cultivating dark particles." Merlin said, "Just relying on the food of infected organisms to grow dark particles is very inefficient. But dark particles can react with the brain quantum waves of living things. The more negative mental energy there is, the more negative the energy will be."
It can accelerate the growth of dark particles."
Arthur looked blank.
"The situation is just like humans using magic, but the response is not photons but shadow particles. The only 'magic' used is to increase the number of shadow particles." Tristan said.
Merlin, who was still worried about how to explain to Arthur, couldn't help but feel happy when he heard Tristan's (pretended to be) clever explanation. This saved him a lot of trouble.
Merlin looked at the fish-man boy and said with a smile: "Yes, I understand it very well. That's it, roughly."
"perhaps?"
"...The Dark Son is destroying the world faster than you imagine. It would take time to thoroughly study its operating principles, which is simply impossible." Merlin said with a sullen face, "The foxes don't even know what they are doing.
What a dangerous toy. They are going crazy trying to win the war."
"Ryder?" Arthur said in a commanding tone.
"Ha, ha, ha..." The bunnyman, panting and still trembling, slowly took out one bomb after another from the magic pocket on his belly.
"How many bombs will it take to blow up this basement?" Arthur asked.
"At least four are needed." Merlin said, while using his hands to measure the size of the basement, "Just put one in the southeast, northwest and north. The explosion will ensure that this place turns into a sea of fire and all the dark creatures will be burned clean."
Leave no future trouble."
"Very good, it seems that bringing extra bombs is the right choice." Arthur looked at Ryder, "You still have some use occasionally."
The Rabbit Man was sweating coldly and said nothing. It seemed like this place scared him a lot.
"Bedi, since you are here, just carry that rabbit on your back and don't let you two become a burden to our team." Arthur said.
"I got it." Being called a burden made Bedivere angry, but he knew it was his fault, so he swallowed his anger and carried Ryder, who was still shaking, "Okay, Ryder, don't be afraid.
I will protect you."
(Even if you don’t consider me your friend.)
"Ivan is in charge of the security. Let's plant the bombs separately." Arthur said.
Bedivere and Archmage Merlin went to the east wing to plant bombs. As soon as they reached the east wing of the basement, a huge glass container was reflected in front of the werewolf boy.
Countless darkness was swaying in that container. Those worm-like black creatures were devouring and biting each other, and then spit out what they had eaten, giving birth to more dark worms.
They scream in terror, hate each other, and kill each other, but they are immortal, so this killing goes on forever.
The sight made Bedivere's hair stand on end and his scalp numb. What he saw was not just the monsters in front of him, but what he saw seemed to be the essence of human malice.
"We are cultivating dark children." The Archmage explained while setting up a bomb. "Putting creatures in containers and letting them fight each other, increasing hatred and pain for each other, in order to increase the number of dark children. What a disgusting way to think of this."
People who grow things really have something wrong with their brains."
"What if--" Bedi swallowed and asked, "If this planet is completely infected by dark particles, will all the creatures on the planet become like this?"
"...It's not as disgusting, but the nature should be the same." Merlin said.
"If the entire universe is filled with dark particles, the universe will be surrounded by such chaos, and the creatures (matter) in the universe will eat each other. The situation will be more similar to this."
Bedi gasped. This kind of thing must be avoided at all costs. How sad it would be if he himself became such a horrible person and fought with his former friends.
A golden light caught Ryder's eye.
It was a bracelet on one of the monsters, reflecting the golden color.
That bracelet was exactly the same as the other one Ryder was wearing.
"Dad, Mom..." The rabbit man looked at the black container and shed tears.
"Ryder, could it be ------"
"They have been threatening me with the lives of the entire caravan. This is the consequence of my failure." Ryder sobbed, "I'm afraid most of the things in here are people from the caravan."
"They sold you for three thousand gold coins. Why do they end up worse than you?" Merlin asked, "Are the foxes crazy?"
"Because I have good adaptability with [that], I was spotted by the elders of the fox people... who put [that] in my mind." Ryder said painfully," and then, in order to ensure the plan to capture Bevel
Nothing was wrong, they went and captured the caravan that sold me as a hostage."
"Stop talking." Feeling Ryder's violent trembling, Bedivere stopped Rabbit and continued, "Let's quickly install the bomb and blow this place into ashes. I don't want to look at such a thing again."
."
"Well..." Ryder sobbed on the back of the werewolf boy. The more he stopped thinking about it, the more past memories came to his mind.
"I'm sorry, Ryder." The father said to the rabbit man who was locked in a small iron cage. "The caravan has no extra money. If this continues, it will be difficult to even eat."
Just stay here. This is a better place."
(Liar.)
The bunny boy was like an experimental animal. He was kept naked in a small cage and could not even turn around.
The researchers pierced his body with needles, shocked him with electric currents, and placed the cage in extremely hot and cold environments. They used every imaginable method to increase Ryder's humiliation and pain day after day.
.
To cultivate a heart full of darkness.
Ryder can understand the pain of Sefer (Torvir), because he once stayed in the same hell as Sefer. No, I'm afraid it's worse than that. The physical pain is far less than the mental humiliation.
Ryder survived year after year amid that kind of torture and humiliation.
His heart was not completely broken. Even though he was tortured to death, he still had a will that supported his spirit.
Hate for Bedivere.
The foxes had to (buy) Ryder in the first place solely to complete their plan to capture Bedivere. Ryder vaguely knew this.
Just because he was Bedivere's friend, he ended up in this tragic ending.
(Why? That’s not fair!)
So he couldn't help but hate this former friend.
(Why, while I am suffering, you are stupidly living your happy daily life?!)
Especially now that the guy in front of him was smiling happily, the hatred in Ryder's heart grew even more day by day.
(I will drag you into the same abyss of eternity as I have experienced before!)
When Ryder first met Bedivere more than ten days ago, he decided to take revenge on Bedivere.
