Chapter 884: Devouring (I)
Ryan slanted her gaze with a hint of displeasure - she still didn't seem to like the name "Caroline" and didn't mind being candid, even in the weird situation in front of her. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Even though she was out of breath and her gray hair was messy, she still looked as energetic as ever, her bright blue eyes with girlish fearlessness, as if something in them would never go out.
The unexpected encounter made Ed so happy that he was stupid, and a thousand words, but he blurted out the most lackluster sentence:
"Are you okay?"
Full of concern, sincerity, and very out of place.
The corners of the old man's mouth twitched visibly, and he looked away from him, looking instead at the still smiling ghost with a complicated look.
"Carolyn. His soft voice sounded like a kind elder and a wronged lover, with a little half-truth complaining, "It's been a long time since you've come to see me." ”
"I'm sorry. Ryan replied coldly, "After all, it's hard work every time I come down...... I've got a few more years to live. ”
"You didn't have to trap yourself here. Sackses sighed, "I had already given you freedom. ”
"yes. "After all, I'm so weak, so weak that you don't even care—and even then, it's not you who set me free." ”
This sentence should have been full of irony...... Or self-deprecating, but when it comes out of her mouth, it is so simple and straightforward that it seems to be just stating the facts, with a natural sharp edge.
Ed glanced left and right, wisely remained silent, only pricking up his ears curiously.
But Sachses refused to let him go.
Probably knowing that it would be difficult to take advantage of this old man who had gone through countless hardships and had nothing, the ghost turned to the black-haired young man.
"Do you believe her?" he asked.
"You believe her. He said.
The first sentence still carries a touch of sadness and helplessness that makes people feel guilty, and the latter sentence has revealed the chill of Sensen.
Ed waved subconsciously. The unseen ripples of the momentum that were ready to strike in the air, and the invisible barrier that separated them from each other in the music of the crystal bush suddenly raised, did not have time to stop the unforeseen attack of Sacess.
Ryan was jerked by him like a fluttering kite, floating on his half-raised right hand, and his already pale face instantly turned blue, and his mouth opened wide as if he couldn't breathe, and instinctively struggled.
She's been careful, but she's not careful enough.
"You think I can't do anything, do you?" "Sacksis grinned silently, narrowing his eyes and whispering to Rye almost tenderly, "But you see, I swallowed him—didn't you know?"
The smile sent a shudder down Ed's shoulders.
He gritted his teeth and threw over a dozen luminous bombs with his hand, and in the dazzling light and shadow, the arrows condensed by ice were faintly faint, almost indistinguishable.
But neither pure magical energy nor a weapon with elemental power could hurt Saxis in the slightest. They dissipated powerlessly outside the runes, like wisps of water vapor that quickly evaporated in the blazing summer sun, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"This is my cage and my territory. Sacksis told him lightly, his unchanging golden eyes as cold and indifferent as snakes, "No one can hurt me here." ”
Ed's lips moved. He knew there was a way to solve the dilemma at hand—a name. But he wasn't sure if it would work. When two souls become one, which one should he call?
And he was instinctively afraid. He had a vague knowledge of the power of his real name, but he had no understanding of it...... He can't get out of control again.
“...... Let her go. He didn't hesitate to decide, "I'll set you free." ”
"Of course - after I'm free. Sacksis replied, "She is insignificant to me." ”
Even though he was black and dying, Ryan did his best to object. She glared at Ed, but the only sound in her throat was a hard gasp.
Ed raised his hands in silence and closed his eyes. He didn't really understand the intricate runes, and he didn't know how they were subtly intertwined, but he could see the web they weaved, and he could see it more clearly when he closed his eyes. Besides, what he had to do was not to unravel it...... He just needs to spoil it.
It's always much easier to destroy.
The crystal bushes flickered. Their sharp, silent screams sliced through Ed's soul, like a frenzied cheer, like a warning of despair. More and more dazzling light burned his eyeballs through his closed eyes, but his consciousness was extremely clear.
All the voices in my ears were suddenly cut off. After a moment of dead silence, Saxess' low laughter echoed through the crystals.
The "chains" that had existed for thousands of years were broken like this, and there was no movement like the sky was falling apart. Ed could feel a breeze pass by him, taking something thick and sticky with the air. The crystal bushes ceased to sing, and they fell silent, and though they remained in their original shape, they withered and withered like winter plants.
Apparently underground, Ed seemed to be standing alone in an empty wasteland, and the wind around him was silent and lifeless.
A dark shadow fell in front of him. Sachses threw Rye at him, as he had promised.
The moment she caught her, Ed thought in horror that she had lost her breath - the old man's thin body was light, cold, and stiff.
But she soon struggled to her feet, standing firm with her own strength, her eyes burning with anger even though her face was pale and her breathing was difficult.
However, when Ed whispered in her ear to tell her to "go quickly", she did not stubbornly resist.
She gave Ed a deep look, and turned away without saying a word, faltering but not hesitating.
And in the crystal thicket, the shadow of Sacksis gradually swelled.
Ed watched as the originally slender and slender figure gave birth to huge wings, the brightly colored crown resembling a large and bright flower in the depths of the dense forest, and the dark green scales with deep and light markings covered the muscular tangled body.
A spotted leaf dragon...... Of course.
It's actually a little smaller than Is—it's even a ghost, not a physical one. The edges of its wings are blurred...... However, the strong feeling of oppression made Ed almost unable to breathe, and involuntarily retreated backwards.
The dragon roared in the sky, and the thunderous sound crashed over it, but at that moment Ed suddenly clenched his fists, and every syllable that came out of his lips was clear and firm.
It's not over yet.
