Since there were no obstacles along the way, Mutt's journey became extremely boring. The only thing he had to worry about was the collapse of the crystal overpass, but this was not actually a problem because the overpass was stronger than he imagined.
.When he almost reached the other end of the mountain and could visually see the luminous ball on the opposite side from a distance of more than fifty yards, he realized that the thunder ball was even bigger than he had imagined.
Unbelievable. What the hell is that?
Shining in a huge crystal arch, contracting and expanding rhythmically, the crystal sphere seemed to be the heart of some kind of creature, a core composed of pure energy.
But, where is the corresponding "creature"? Is it just a core presence? I always feel that something is fishy.
Mutt frowned.
He still remembered that the last time he took the initiative to leave the crystal world, he had to defeat a crystal guard, and it was only after a lot of hard work that he finally defeated such a powerful crystal guard. But now he doesn't have to do anything, he just needs to get closer.
Can that lightning core leave? Things are too simple.
Or perhaps, what is placed in front of Mutt is just a bait, and things are not that simple. We just need to wait for him to get close enough before triggering some kind of event? Considering that the Lord of the Crystal Realm likes to watch others being tortured,
A monster with an extremely twisted mentality, maybe this is the real answer.
In any case, Mutt won't know the answer unless he gets close to the lightning core. The cat-man boy once again waved the crystal stabbing sword, building a path forward on the ground, and took a few steps closer. With the final swing of the sword
It connected two roads on the mountainside, and truly created a bridge that could cross the valley from mid-air. But the last swing of the sword made the cat-man boy suddenly feel powerless, and he knelt down on the ground.
It's not that he's physically exhausted. To be more precise, it's probably that he's mentally exhausted. Mutt covered his head, as if his brain was frozen, and he could hardly concentrate on thinking. He used a crystal stabbing sword in the crystal world.
Power must come at a price, which Mutt has been aware of from the beginning, but he didn't know that the price was so high. The more he used the power of the crystal stabbing sword, the more his mind was swallowed by the abyss.
It was so difficult to think. The whole world was distorted in front of him, and the scenery turned into a sticky mass, squirming, intertwined, broken, and eroding each other.
No! If this continues, even his own consciousness will disappear! Mutt begins to panic. He may never remember that he is the individual named "Mutt".
Mutt?
But who is Mutt?
who I am?
Breathe. Breathe. The cat boy tries to calm down with deep breaths. If thinking becomes a mess, the first thing to do is to empty the chaotic thoughts so that they will not continue to be chaotic. If the mind is blank, just
I will no longer be obsessed with random thoughts.
Fortunately, he is a professionally trained American football player and has been doing mental exercises in order to keep himself calm in fierce competitions and in desperate situations where the team is lagging behind.
In fact, before the Sandstorm Sphinx acquired Albert, a powerful running back, they had been struggling in qualifying, often struggling, and almost lost the qualification to participate in the Super Bowl.
As a member of the team's main force, Te has experienced a lot of despair, and he gritted his teeth and endured them all. He does not lack this kind of mental training.
Exhale, inhale. Continue to empty your mind. Mutt warned himself that this was just mental and physical exhaustion, there was no need to panic. What kind of thing is the abyss? He had experienced much more despair and pain before this kind of erosion. In those despairs
In the face of pain and pain, the erosion of the abyss is simply insignificant.
Breathe, breathe. The cat-man boy gradually recovered, and the madness of the abyss failed to swallow him after all--at least not this time. He got up from the ground, thinking about how long he had been unconscious. The team previously
He had done something similar to meditation training. That time, Mutt entered a meditative state without anyone reminding him, and a few hours passed in a blink of an eye. He just hoped that the time he spent to clear his mind was not as long as expected.
Turning around, he saw that the crystal overpass behind him was still standing firmly, not shaken at all by the thunder and lightning storm in the crystal world. The lightning in the sky was still fierce and intertwined, and it seemed that the night in the crystal world had not yet come.
It was a sign. Mutt thought that he had fainted for about ten minutes. He raised his head and glanced at the thunder ball on the protruding platform on the mountainside ten yards away, but found that its light had weakened a lot.
"You finally woke up." Someone suddenly said.
Mutt was startled, and at the same time he turned around and saw that Albert, no, Albert's clone, was actually there waiting for Mutt to wake up.
"Why are you here?!" the cat boy exclaimed.
"Why should you be surprised?" Albert's clone looked at Mutt blankly, "I woke up not long ago. I heard that in order to reach this side of the valley, you specially made a bridge out of crystals and walked along it.
I ran over to the overpass to check, only to find that you collapsed by the bridge and couldn't be woken up. I had no other choice but to wait for you here."
Mutt frowned, feeling that something was wrong, but now that he was confused and logically confused, he couldn't tell what was wrong with the other person's words, so he had to ask: "...where's Mitch?"
"That little white mouse? He didn't want to follow him, so he stayed in his cave." Albert's clone replied: "That kid is a coward. He knew this was an opportunity to escape, but he didn't dare to follow him."
"He feels that he will be trapped in the crystal world forever and will not be able to escape. He is particularly stubborn in strange places." Mutt replied casually, rubbing his temples at the same time, "Well... my head hurts...
..."
"So, that's the clue to leaving this ghost place?" Albert's clone glanced at the thunder ball opposite.
"When I fainted, I guess you had already investigated it?" Mutt asked.
"Of course. But as soon as I got close, it emitted a terrible arc. I tried my best just to avoid the arc, but in fact I couldn't get any closer." Albert's clone hummed: "I don't have any
Suitable props to resist the arc emitted by that electric ball. But I guess you may have a way?"
"I will try, but..." Mutt got up and grabbed the crystal stabbing sword in his hand. With the ability of the stabbing sword, he might be able to make a crystal wall that can withstand the arc emitted by the sphere.
Push forward step by step until you are close enough to it. But no one can guarantee that getting close to the electric ball will activate its special effects, allowing Mutt and the others to return to the real world. Moreover, continuing to abuse the power of the crystal stabbing sword, Mutt's mind
I'm afraid he will be squeezed out again, and his mind will be eroded by the abyss. If that happens, I don't know whether he will become a fool or a madman - in short, it is not a good thing.
To ensure that he can safely use the power of the crystal stabbing sword, he must first take a good rest and let his unstable spirit settle down.
But in a place like this, is there any good way to calm down? Is it as simple as taking a nap to refresh yourself?
"You look very tired." Albert's clone looked at Mutt, as if he could see the doubts in the cat boy's eyes: "Is there anything I can do to help?"
"No, you can't help with anything..." Mutt said hesitantly, but what he said was completely opposite to what he thought. Although he was ashamed, what came to his mind at this time was actually
The things he and Albert's clone did in the stone room in Lviv.
Although Albert's clone said that it was just a "reward" that would not happen next time. Mutt didn't think much about it at the time. He just tried to make that kind of gesture with Albert's clone in order to confirm his true thoughts.
But in fact, the process was more enjoyable than he imagined. At first, he just wanted to give it a try, but halfway through, he couldn't stop.
He still remembers the other person hugging him tightly, the pleasure of flesh and body merging together. He still remembers the body temperature of the other person, transmitted through the fur, through the skin, and even through the inner wall of the mouth.
Come on. He still remembers the moment when the heat flow was injected into his body, that sticky, slippery, hot as magma, but reassuring thick feeling. It was the feeling of being filled. In this crazy chaos
Among them, I am afraid that is the only one that can really allow him to enjoy it selflessly and release his tired body and mind.
"Why are you looking at me with such strange eyes?" Albert's clone rolled his eyes at Mutt: "What are you planning?"
"Well..." Mutt blushed and asked in a low voice: "Do you still remember the [reward] you gave me before?"
"Yes, I said, you can only do that kind of thing once." Albert's clone hummed: "You little pervert, don't you want to do that kind of thing again?"
"I won't force you, but...just...well, just hold me?" Mutt whispered, his voice getting smaller and smaller because of embarrassment: "Oh my god.
.....What were I talking about? I made this strange request to you at such a critical moment. Forget it, forget it."
"Just a hug, okay?" Albert's clone hummed, "Sit down."
"...Is it really possible?"
"I don't know what you are planning, and this doesn't seem to be a way to help us leave the crystal world. But you do seem tired." Albert's clone said, grabbing the cat boy's shoulders and forcing him to sit down
Next, he sat in front of him: "You should have a good rest when you are tired, right?"
"Well..." Without even resisting, Mutt just lay in the other's arms, and the two of them lay on the flat crystal ground at the same time.
It was so warm. Lying in the arms of Albert's clone, Mutt felt as if he was melting. Compared with the cold crystals around him and the hard floor, the tiger man's hairy body was like
It is a large pillow that makes the cat boy want to hug the other person unconsciously.
"By the way, if everything is resolved, you will return to the parallel world that belongs to you, right?" Mutt asked.
"Um."
"You will also forget all your experiences in this world, right?" Mutt asked again.
"Um."
"Even I will forget, even everything I have done, right?" the cat boy asked boldly.
"Yes."
"But your true self in this world knows nothing and doesn't even feel anything for me. He's just like the dull person I know, right?"
"Um."
"We can never see each other again. Even if I still see the other you every day, he is not the you now, right?"
"Yes......"
"In other words, as long as you are sent back, it will be a kind of eternal farewell?"
"perhaps."
"So, you are so cunning." Mutt cried in a low voice.
"I'm sorry." Albert's clone smiled, held the cat boy's mouth with one hand, leaned over, and gently stroked his forehead: "As expected, let's give you a [reward]?"
"No...but I..."
"Speak clearly, do you want it or don't you want it?"
"I..." Mutt's face turned red and he cried: "I want it. The last time."
"Very good." The clone of the tiger man youth smiled and hugged the other person tightly.
"Hmm..." The cat boy called out in a low voice.
In this wilderness made of crystal, a young catman was lying on the floor full of spikes, with many non-fatal blood holes pierced through his body. But as if he was under an illusion, not only did he react to these injuries
He didn't respond to the pain, and even let out a low hum of pleasure. Behind him, a crystal-shaped humanoid was playing with his body, ravaging him like a broken doll.
The madness of the abyss had long ago eroded him to the point where he could no longer distinguish between reality and illusion.
