The moment the girl's chest was pierced, Arthur still had a silly smile on his face, he turned his head under the blood spurting out, and instantly slashed his sword according to instinct, and his body in tattered clothes was cut off at the waist. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Rustle...... Sand...... Rustle......"

Arthur looked down expressionlessly, his mind was still blank, and when he remembered the feeling of severing his body, he realized that the black holes seemed to be looking at him, and the mouth covered by tattered cloth squirmed, making a low "rustle" sound, intermittent.

Arthur felt that the corpse that had been cut in two was laughing.

Amid the eerie rustling sound and the stench that erupted along with the bodily fluids of his organs, Arthur clearly felt that his body was like a river, which was flowing rapidly, collapsing somewhere that was being swallowed up by the mouth.

He turned to see that Werther was crying out as he hugged Nayin, who was wheezing in pain, and Bobo's blood overflowed from the black hole in his chest, staining his pink and white clothes red.

Ah, that river is its own, and now it is its own life that is pouring out and being swallowed up by the great mouth.

This was Arthur's first real feeling, different from the tearing of life at the time of the contract, the feeling of life disappearing in his body at this moment was slow, the spirit shadow and the contractor seemed to be standing at both ends of the riverbank, and they could clearly see the figures on the other side, but the river connecting each other extended infinitely until life dried up.

As long as the spirit shadow of the contract is alive, the host will always watch the flow of his life disappear, flowing to the untouchable shore, feeling the death of life every moment, and experiencing the death that follows the shadow.

Arthur sighed, what a wonderful and cruel existence. For the first time, he wondered, was the contractor really blessed by God, or was he a cursed being?

It's just that if the river of fear disappears, no matter if the river of fear disappears, no one can continue to exist, and no one can move forward if the spirit of the covenanter or the spirit of the community of life is blocked by the fear floating on the river.

Arthur looked down at the ground and watched his feet take a step.

"Ne hold on, Arthur, Arthur, what to do at such a time, Arthur!" Werther was at a loss, Ne turned pale, and even his breath became weak, and he was anxious that he had no choice but to hold on to the wound and stop the blood flow.

Arthur walked over to Nayin and crouched down, holding his hand that hung on the ground and holding it.

"Nain. ”

The boy gently swiped the few strands of hair that were sticking to his eyebrows and eyes because of the sweat, and his voice was as gentle as his movements.

"Don't resist me, you've done a good job, you've been careful, haven't you? Enough, don't you remember what I said in Toba, you can't move forward if you're afraid, I'm going to get out of here with you, you, I'm going to get out of here, we're going to see a lot of things, we're going to see a lot of things, we're going to taste a lot of food, so now take a big bite and eat my life, and fill this hole up like you sew up my clothes." ”

"Ya...... ...... Right...... Rise...... To ......" The hand that was held trembled and tried to exert force, Nain's eyes were red, tears were rolling in her eyes, pain and guilt tormented her, making her resist the flow of the river of life, "I...... Isn't it good...... Shadow ...... I don't want to ......"

Even if it's just a little slower, a little slower, so that Arthur can live a little longer.

"Oh, didn't I say that only I have the final say on whether you are good or not! Who will be better than you? I don't dislike that my master is a country boy, short and short, obviously a swordsman but not strong at all, no knowledge, no money, and afraid of the dark to howl like a wild boar. ”

Her body is a black hole, Nayin knows very well that one day she will suck Arthur dry, even if she tries her best to stop it, but the black hole spontaneously grabs life and sucks it, which is the nature of the spirit shadow and cannot be changed.

"But...... But ......"

"But what? Without you, who will mend my clothes? Who will calm me down and be by my side when I am howling like a wild boar? Hey, aren't you going to accompany me to the end of the world, what if I have a whim and plan to destroy the world, you have to help me!"

Just like when they first met, Arthur smiled, his fingertips gently poking the girl's forehead, only this time more gently.

Under the guidance of the host, the girl's patience quickly reached the limit, and then, naturally, a little bit was broken, and the black hole exploded and expanded instantly, greedily devouring the host's life.

Arthur watched the blood flow on Nayin's body weaken to stop, and watched the new flesh gradually generate to fill the wounds, as if he was standing on the bank of the river, watching his river of life flow rapidly.

Fortunately, I can see it clearly. Arthur smiled, and through the massive fear above the river, he could clearly see that Naine was on the other side. Then that's it.

"Ahh......h

"I'm fine. There's no time, we have to go quickly, Nayin, you go back to me, and then we need to run. ”

"Huh?"

"It's all to blame for being so careless that I didn't find out, that guy. Turning his head to look at the corpse on the ground, Arthur said solemnly, "More than one. ”

"What?" Witt was surprised, "Is there more than one Monster?"

"It's not a magical beast, Naine should feel it by now, it's a spirit shadow. ”

Also looking at the corpse that had been cut in two, Naine nodded: "Hmm...... It's indeed the breath of a spirit shadow, but why didn't you feel it before? Didn't Arthur always feel that there was something in the darkness? And if it's a spirit shadow, how can there be a substance?"

Arthur thought for a while, didn't know what to say, just shook his head: "Maybe it's because I'm afraid of the dark, so I think there are monsters in the dark." The reason why that guy has an entity is most likely because he is possessed by his own corpse and driven. ”

"W-how is this possible?" Naine didn't believe that a spirit shadow that had not been contracted could have an entity.

As he spoke, an eerie rustling sound was heard, and Arthur quickly got up, sword in one hand and torch in the other, illuminating the front.

"A lot! It's coming in this direction! Nain, go back to me, don't bear the attack for me, it's just possession, their actions are not flexible, I can deal with it!"

"I ...... I know......" Knowing that he would only be a drag, Nayin returned to Arthur's body, and Werther took out his bow and arrows, ready for battle.

As the footsteps became clearer, several blue-black rotting corpses, also covered in tattered clothes, some holding stone-polished weapons in their hands, their rotting lips wriggling and making an intermittent rustling sound.
