Chapter Seventy-Two: The Long Sword XI
By the time she rushed out the door, it was already completely dark. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info But in Sulfona's field of vision, the surrounding scenery is still clear. She couldn't tell if it was because her half-demon blood gave her inhuman vision, or if her own strange blindness allowed her to perceive her surroundings. During her time as a warrior, Blindness helped Sulfur a lot.
But the blindness could not eliminate the confusion in Sulfona's heart. When the breeze blows through her blonde hair, Sulfona always falls into an irrepressible depression. She sighed and stroked her greatsword, feeling every tiny notch on it with her hands. Sulfona felt herself caressing the wounds in her heart that couldn't heal. Those confusions sprouted in this wound.
"Brewster is right. A weak and timid existence like me is a burden to the identity of a warrior. The warrior that people need should be that person, not me. ”
Before she knew it, Sulfona's sword had broken free from the purple strip of cloth stained by the demon's blood. Sulfur felt an inexplicable power fill her body. Usually she has been suppressing herself, suppressing her side as a half-demon. Just as she knew her weakness, Sulfur knew the tyranny of that Sulfona. But what she needs now is to let go of the anger in her heart and vent it. Like an inflating balloon, Sulfona desperately needed a pressure release point. Soon, the corners of her mouth curved beautifully—just what she needed.
"It's strange, you can already smell such a heavy smell of blood on me, why don't you run?" said Sulfur to the darkness behind her, "As a demon, you are so unintelligent. ”
In the darkness, a dark shadow paused slightly. It realized that Sulfona's golden pupils were staring straight at it, and finally stopped hiding. Out of the darkness came a demon more than two meters tall. It has long, narrow eyes and dark golden pupils. The most eye-catching thing is that the demon has a huge shell like a scarab on its back. The shell opened slightly, revealing insect-like wings. If you look closely, you can see that it is a fan-shaped structure made up of something like a bone. Although the demon looks a little bloated, it moves with extraordinary agility. It cautiously tested the range of Sulfona's attack, but Sulfona always stood there smiling.
"As a greatsword, you're not very agile either. The demon finally gave up on the useless work, and it knew that Sulfur was a tough bone, "I've been around for so long, and you haven't even noticed me. ”
"Because I don't want to find you. Sulfona smiled slightly, and then said, "I don't want to find you, so I won't find you." It's like when you walk in the desert for a day and find a bowl of water. You also won't see a fly in the bowl because you don't want to. ”
The demon was silent, her conical head tilted slightly, and she looked at Sulfur as if she felt incredulous.
"You're a strange greatsword. Why would you want to play such a game?"
"Because if I didn't, I'd go crazy. How much power there is, how much erosion the mind will be. As many demons as I kill, I will move in the direction of demons. Maybe I'll be your companion soon. ”
Sulfona gently cut a stalk of grass from the ground with her broadsword. Sulfona's big sword weighed hundreds of pounds, and its length was close to one and a half meters. Delicately slicing off a blade of grass on the ground with such a great sword requires unparalleled control. This weightless kung fu made the demon tremble a little, and what made Tatsu feel even more terrified was that Sulfona was not demonstrating like her. It's just an unconscious movement of Sulfona, everything is so natural for Sulfona.
In the past year, Sulfona's lazy swordsmanship has been refined again. Every time she raises her hand and throws her foot, she uses the most exquisite way to achieve the greatest effect. Because of this, Sulfona can maximize every part of her body. Her sword was tyrannical and insane, and all the demons she slew were torn to shreds by the wanton power. This is one of the reasons why Lulu has complained so many times that Sulfona is too bloody.
The demon flinched back in fear.
"I don't want to be like you. ”
"I'm curious as to why you're here. Are you curious about me?" Sulfur slowly picked at the grass leaves with her broadsword, and then took a few steps to faintly block the demon's path, "You must be an alienated demon. Do you have anything to do with the one I killed not long ago?"
"Do you mean the 'slinger'?" the demon shook his head, "I've met him, but we're not in the same group. Their slingers often think that we 'outposts' are garbage. We're not going to go to war—it's not good for us—but he'll be happy to kill me if he gets the chance. Between demons and demons, they are not friends. ”
"Because...... You're going to steal his food?" asked Sulfona with a wink.
"That's right. The demon slowly stepped back, "I can see that you are very powerful, but I am not weak either. You don't want to die here yet, we might as well take a step back and act as if we didn't see anyone from now on. This is a law that our demons often follow. It's better to win than to lose both. ”
"I thought the demons were brainless people...... But you're very different, and I'm interested in you. "Sulfona doesn't plan to let the demon go at all," you mentioned something very interesting. Can you tell me more about 'slingers' and 'sentinels'?"
The demon groaned for a while, weighing the pros and cons. In the end, the constant aura of danger from Sulfona's body made it succumb.
"I don't know much, but I understand that we are divided into general categories in different directions of alienation. I don't know what classes there are, and I don't know what each category has. All I know is that the 'Slinger' and 'Outposter' are non-frontal units in combat. Slingers throw items and attack from a distance, while outposts are roughly the equivalent of human sentinels. You can kill the slingers, which is great, but I don't think you can defeat the 'raiders' or the 'guerrillas'. ”
"Then you don't need to worry. Sulfur shrugged, "I didn't expect you demons to divide so many routines after being alienated, and I feel that your intelligence has also improved a lot." Who the hell is going to classify you? Do you have a leader?"
"I don't know, I've only heard people call us that. We've been locked up in a dark dungeon, not knowing what the outside world is like. It's as if our bodies have been poisoned or cursed by some kind. If we don't take an antidote regularly, we will suffer. That antidote would suddenly appear in the dungeon, and it seemed like someone was imprisoning us in this way. The pain of not having an antidote made me hurt to the bone marrow, so I didn't try to escape. ”
The demon stretched out its slender claws at Sulfona.
"Dajian, can you imagine that kind of pain, never see the sun, never see the ground, never even see yourself. It felt like the body was slowly being hollowed out, and the mind was directly exposed to the air, and then eroded by the darkness. Quietly, everything was quietly, I was the only one wandering. Forever. Periodically, I was fed. I rely on this to keep track of time -- can you feel the pain?"
Sulfona was silent for a moment, remembering her past experience of being locked up in a dungeon. But she suddenly smiled again.
"Oh, but you're out anyway, aren't you?" said Sulfona, circling the demon with interest, pointing behind the demon's back, "Interesting, you have a pattern similar to that 'slinger' on you. It's like a text, and it's like someone has carved a brand on you. I've seen this kind of thing in books, it seems that people are marking prisoners. ”
"That's a vicious curse. The demon was digging into the ground with its claws, looking furious, "It's this kind of thing that tortures us. I came out because the dungeon was suddenly opened, and the dungeon had strange potions. Some demons told me that if I drank that, I wouldn't suffer that kind of pain again. I didn't have a choice, and this was probably my only chance to get out of the dungeon. The demons around me ran away, and so did I. But that didn't work!"
The demon roared angrily.
"I don't know what it is, but I wasn't really free. In the days after I came out, I was really unaffected by the curse. But then the mark returned. It wasn't strong at first, I thought I had been tortured for too long and had hallucinations. But now I feel it, my internal organs are burning! That potion doesn't cure the root cause, it only slows my pain. Now its demonic power is almost consumed. ”
"Hehe, this may be your punishment for eating so many humans. "Sulfona has no sympathy for the demon's plight.
"I've eaten people, but I haven't killed them yet. The demon shook his head, "Every time, someone throws the entrails down. Those people are long dead, I didn't kill them. I didn't do anything, and I was wandering in the dark while I was conscious, carrying this curse on my back. ”
"You...... Haven't killed anyone?" Sulfura looked at the demon in surprise, "A demon who hasn't killed anyone, it's the first time I've heard about it. If you don't eat people, won't you be able to live in peace with that slinger?"
"It was difficult. "I'm getting more and more unable to control myself. For physical discomfort, we demons have a local solution to it. That kind of earthy method can suppress all the suffering we endure. ”
Sulfona was stunned for a moment, then narrowed her golden eyes. She said, pointing to the blood-soaked earth around her.
"That's not what you're talking about. ”
"This is it. The demon nodded, "Under normal circumstances, no demon would hunt so many humans like crazy. It's not good for us, and we don't need to eat so much. ”
For a moment, both the warrior and the demon fell silent. The blood-stained dirt around it seemed to move, like flowing lava. Sulfona closed her eyes, and she felt that the dead undead would pull itself out of the dirt with trembling hands, like a freshly sprouted seedling. But when she opened her eyes again, it was still the same dead silence.
