Chapter 39: Lullaby: Jumping into the Abyss and Missing
The demon that appears in the brownish lullaby magic flute has a huge mountain-like body, countless tentacles like tree trunks, and ugly, hollow faces. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info especially its face, which has three holes and inside it are eyes that shine fiercely. Its mouth was cracked, like the dry and wrinkled lips of an old man.
The demon roared, its voice reverberating through the empty canyon like the resurrection of an ancient dragon. The dark magic on its body was as vivid as a chill piercing through the bones, giving people a suffocating sense of oppression.
"It's unforgivable that humans, stupid humans, should dare to seal me away for so long!" it raised a large, withered tentacle and pointed its fingertips at the dying black-haired teenager on the canyon tracks, making a strange mixed male and female voice. "And you're going to be the first to be punished because you prevented another stupid person from unleashing my power and forcing me to fully show up early, do you know how much of my precious magic cost me to do so?"
Fuko struggled a few times, but still couldn't get up, and he regretted letting Harpy go, if Harpy was still around, they would at least have a chance of escaping. After listening to the demon's accusations, he could only say in his heart, how can I know how much magic power you have consumed? But then I will know your weakness, but I still have the life to pass on these messages to others?
The demon condescended, lifted its heavy hand, and then swung it down like a whip, slicing through the air with a howling wind. "Die!" the giant hand hit the unsuspecting Fukou, and with a bang, the entire train track broke through it, and the rubble fell into the endless abyss.
"'Turn back the clock'!"
In a desperate situation, he quickly switched from the "Infinite Swordmaster" to the "Time Guardian", and used the strongest magic of the "Time Guardian", so that after the blow was hit, Fuko was enough to turn back the fatal point in time, and he recovered 600 HP. After the catastrophe, he spat out a pool of blood, stepped on the falling rubble, and climbed to the other side of the broken track as fast as he could, facing the demon from afar.
"How is that possible?" the demon uttered its ridiculously mixed voice, startled at Fuko's escape.
Fuko didn't feel like he had escaped, his health had recovered somewhat, and the effects of the "Healing Orb" were still working, and he had used "Healing" and the previous "Angel's Prayer" - however, due to the update, "Angel's Prayer" had little effect on him - but his health was still not enough to resist a few demon whiplashes.
He had to hope that the cooldown of Plateau Bloodline was over, hoping that he would be able to use this magic as soon as possible to increase his movement speed and avoid the pursuit of demons. Until Plateau Bloodline can be used, he can only rely on the Boots of Speed to get him up to speed.
"You can't escape!" the demon leapt into the air, then crossed the break between the tracks, and easily landed on the other track, but the track was also crumbling due to its weight. Then the demon pounced on him, and the track beneath its feet continued to crumble and fall to the bottom of the cliff. It was like a wolf, its tentacles swaying and stretching towards him.
Luckily, the demon's movement speed wasn't particularly fast, so he couldn't catch up with Fuko for a while. While waiting for the "Plateau Bloodline", Fuko replaced the "Sword of Blasphemy V" with the "Golden Scepter V", and because of the effect of the "Golden Scepter V", he was able to use magic from a distance that could only be used at close range.
"'Demacia Justice'!"
A huge magical lightsaber erupted from the tip of the scepter and slammed into the demon's face.
However, when Fuko used Aphrodite to check the demon's HP, he found that under this blow, he only caused the opponent to lose about one-fifth of his HP, which was insignificant to the other party, but it was very desperate for Fuko. His "Plateau Bloodline" was finally available, and when he used it to increase his movement speed, he realized that his magic had been depleted.
This series of uses of magic was too much of a burden for him.
Fuko swallowed, trying not to pay attention to the demon's roar behind him. His physical strength is also close to the limit, and now he simply relies on the "plateau bloodline" and the tenacious will to survive to support his body.
The demon that had been hit by Fuko was completely annoyed, and it roared and shouted, "I will never let you go alive, I will torture you well, come, listen to my 'lullaby', and die under the terrible curse!"
Fuko's "Plateau Bloodline" has lost its effect at this time, his magic power is zero, and he has no time to enter the mall to get any skills or items that can help him, so it can be said that he is at the end of his rope.
He runs along the track and is soon overtaken by the demon. He thought to himself, "I don't think I'm going to have to die in the end, and it looks like I'm going to have to be tortured, but I might be more happy than being killed by Joseph Bora before."
Oh my life, my life......
Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw the abyss next to him, he didn't know how high it was, but people said that the abyss here was a passage to hell.
So he deviated from his original trajectory, leaped into the air, and almost without hesitation jumped into the abyss.
"Rather than being tortured to death, it is better to gamble on a 'leap of faith'!"
At this point, he fell into the abyss, completely engulfed in darkness, and the demon had no time to let its listeners listen to its unpleasant song......
What Fuko didn't know after he jumped was that Elusa and the others then arrived here - the "Demon Wind Wall" could only trap them for a while before dissipating on its own - and had a narrow encounter with the demons of "Lullaby". The enraged demon attacks all enemies it sees, spewing magical light. But with the combined power of Elusa, Natsu, Gray, Lucy, and even a magician of the Iron Forest, who was there to protect himself, the demon was finally slain here. Its body was riddled with holes, and the ballads it released had completely changed its tone, almost useless to them.
After the battle, Harpy flew back with the doctor, but no trace of Fuko was found at the scene. After learning what happened from Harpy, Elusa guessed what happened to Fuko.
But where is Fuko?
Looking at the surrounding rock walls and the abyss at their feet, Elusa and the others were at a loss.
