Chapter XXII

In the heart of hell, where flowers bloom. A bright red trail of blood stretched forward. Above the flowers, a woman was covered in blood and fell into the flowers.

After a while, several white figures searched for blood and found the woman's position. Immediately afterwards, Fluffy Head rushed all the way to the scene of the tragedy.

"It's over, she's dead!" the fluffy head turned pale, and his lips trembled slightly.

"You help me carry the princess back, I'm going to save her!" said after a few seconds of stunned head, Fluffy Head gritted his teeth.

The white figures stepped forward and lifted Princess Lillian on a stretcher, their fluffy heads trembling incessantly, and their hands were grasped into the void, and an antique red book suddenly appeared and landed beside the fluffy head.

"The forbidden books left behind by the Lord of the Underworld, now there is only one way to save Lilian. The fluffy head squeezed out a few tears from the corners of his eyes, "It's true, I was negligent." How she hates me so much. If I knew that I wouldn't have unlocked the technique on her, it was all my fault. ”

Constantly feeling sorry for himself, he opened the red book with a fluffy head and turned to one of the pages.

"Live to die! The dead have no hope of survival. At this time, if you want to bring the dead back to life, you have to pay the same price. The only thing that is equal to human life is the soul. For the spell to work, the caster must sell his soul. ”

Looking at the text on it, the fluffy head laughed. "Sell your soul? I don't know how many times my soul has been betrayed. It's a familiar thing to me. "Keep looking down, it's horrible to write in the book.

"Once the caster performs this spell, it will leave a mark on the soul. After death, you will fall into hell and never be able to leave. Reading this, the fluffy head said to himself, "If you don't leave, you won't leave, there's nothing remarkable." I've been living in hell and it's been fine. ”

Continuing to look down, a picture of a guillotine-like building at the top of the book attracts the attention of the shaggy head.

"The caster is placed on top of the altar, and the caster takes out his soul and places it under the table. The incantation is chanted, and the altar turns, leaving a mark on the soul of the caster. The spell takes effect and is also given life by the caster. Remember that there is only one life, and the soul that is sold cannot be redeemed. The practitioner should be self-discretionary. After reading these words, the fluffy head thought for a few seconds.

"The price paid for this technique may be too great for human beings. For a powerful and god-like existence like me, it's just a drop in the bucket. After thinking about it for a moment, a smile appeared at the corner of the fluffy head's mouth, and he left with the humanoids.

Soon after, in front of the palace complex, a guillotine-style altar was erected. Princess Lilian, who appeared to be dead and covered in blood, was secured to the top of the guillotine.

Fluffy Head took a glass of bright red juice from the humanoid and drank it down. Then he plucked one of his own hair and blew. The hair turned into a small bat, fluttered its wings, and landed under the guillotine.

"Humans are really interesting animals. I feel amazing all day long. No matter how great you are, you can't change it, and your life can only be continued at the cost of other lives. Every day of growth is accompanied by sin. We elves are bad, but we admit that we are evil. Never like human beings, how pure and righteous they feel. Thinking of this, the fluffy eyes were red, and he seemed to be a little intoxicated.

"But the Celestial Cult's group of neurotics who wear black all day seem to be a little different from ordinary humans. On the one hand, they are really bad when they say it, they are ruthless in doing things, and they will kill them when it is time to do it. But on the other hand, he seems to be full of remorse for his sins. They think they exist to carry the sins of others. Come to think of it, it's also a bunch of funny guys. ”

Thinking of this, the fluffy head exhaled. He closed his eyes and silently recited the mantra.

On the guillotine, the hanging blade fell little by little with the passage of time. Lilian's bloodstain began to change. Her broken limbs flowed into a red mist as the spell progressed. The color of the bruised places on the body began to fade little by little. The pale face slowly regained its blood color. The damaged area has also begun to be gradually restored. The hanging blade also kept falling at this time, and finally slashed at the little bat's body. The bat turned into a puff of black smoke and vanished.

"Oh my god, it feels like it's a little dizzy. The red in the fluffy man's eyes vanished, and then he reached out and touched his neck, where a red mark flashed and disappeared.

"That's it, you go and help the princess go back to rest. Giving the order to the humanoids, the fluffy head took a few deep breaths to soothe the uncomfortable feeling in his body. Just as he was about to leave, into the palace. In the sky, a small bat flew over with its wings fluttering.

The fluffy head looked at the messenger bat, and a strange sound came from the bat.

"Lord Duke, the two dragon knights trapped in the Demon City have been released by the people on the wolf king's side. The little bat spoke, flapped its wings, and flew away again.

"It's amazing. Why would the wolf king help the dragon knights? It must be that old boy of the Wolf King who knows that the Dragon Knight is here for me, so he is deliberately funny. Thinking quickly in his head, the fluffy head looked at the figures around him. "You go down and get ready, and in a little while, my wife and I will leave this place and go back to the human world. This time we may be away a little longer, so be ready. ”

The humanoids heard the order from the fluffy heads, and once again disappeared en masse.

The dragon knight Red was lying on the cold floor at this time. One second, he was still immersed in a nightmare wrapped in a black object, and the next, he opened his eyes and sat up all at once.

"Abel, what happened just now, how did we escape?" had just recovered his senses, and Red was all in trouble. When he saw Abel sitting next to him leaning against a pillar, he asked anxiously. only to find that Abel sat there as if he couldn't hear anything at this time, as if he was thinking about something.

"Abel, are you alright!" The first time he saw Abel so distracted, Red was startled. Thinking back to the strange dark tentacles just now, worried about the sequelae left by Abel, Red walked up to Abel's side and observed him carefully.

"You're awake!" Abel said with some unusual calmness when he noticed Red's presence.

"Hey, Abel, are you alright? How do I feel that your current state is a little weird?" Red was cautious, for fear that Abel would suddenly appear abnormal, and remained vigilant.

"It's nothing, it's just that I fought with that ghost thing for too long just now, and it consumed too much mental power. Let me sit quietly and rest for a while. Abel seemed to be back to normal for a while, but when he finished speaking, he returned to his previous state in a daze.

"Hopefully he's just too tired. But this is the first time I've seen this kind of Abel who is not in a state. Although it felt a little weird, Red didn't take it too seriously. He turned around and cast a spell and began to summon his own red dragon.

"Huh?!Abel, why do I feel like I can't summon Red? It felt like he wasn't the same as usual, and Red had a sense of foreboding.

"It's okay, we took the Heart Saving Pill when we were fighting those black things just now. Now that the side effects of that medicine are coming, we can't summon our dragon in a short time. Abel responded, probably feeling a little numb in his state, and he barely managed to squeeze out a smile.

"Forget it, I'll sit with you for a while. Red spoke, and sat down against the pillar. "Anyway, I can't do anything this time, and I can't leave this hellish place. Then the two of us might as well sit here and talk for a while. ”

"It's a rare opportunity to make small talk, but I don't know how long the two of us can talk now. Abel babbled, making Red feel like he was in a fog.

"Red, how many years have we been dragon knights?" Abel seemed to reminisce.

"Although we have been training since we were very young, we have only been able to become real dragon knights for two or three years!" Responding to Abel, Red remembered the memories he had just seen again when he was wrapped in those black objects.

"It's only been two or three years! I don't know why, but I feel like a long time has passed. As he spoke, Abel closed his eyes. "How many people have we killed over the years, do you still have an impression?"

"What are you talking about? This doesn't sound like you're usual. Who's going to remember these things. We just do the job honestly. ”

"Yes, we're all on a mission!" Abel sighed.

"Abel, are you alright? Why do you always feel weird today? Red glanced at Abel and observed him.

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm just a little tired. As he spoke, Abel opened his eyes and looked into the distance.

"Red, do you think we dragon knights still have a way to be ordinary people again?"

Hearing this, Red jumped to his feet.

"No, are the side effects of the medicine we took so big?" His lips trembled slightly, and Red couldn't believe it.

"It has nothing to do with that medicine, it's just that I kind of don't want to be a dragon knight anymore. Abel finished speaking, and closed his eyes again.
