At the crater, the hot lava roared unwillingly, and the sky seemed to fall in a sickly red. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In this hot place that is ready to start, one side is wrapped in dark purple light, and the other side is a scorching existence like a god of fire.

The two breaths that represent their own will swelled and intertwined, and finally collided together.

This space is completely filled with the sound of nothingness, and there is no room for other sounds.

Eventually, it exploded!

"Come on, after more than ten years of fighting, Flame Demon, this time it won't be like it was at the beginning!" The six eyes emitted a miserable white light, and streams of black air flowed out, flying towards the fire demon with the three pitch-black heads that broke out of the air.

Looking at the three black air currents rushing over, the flame demon opened his arms, and a circle of flames shot out from under his feet, forming a circle of flames.

[You have used this trick no less than dozens of times back then, and you will use it almost every time you go to war, and it is useless to me! Try this! Seeing that the ring of fire blocked the three black air currents, the fire demon pointed his hands towards the sky, and the huge flames quickly gathered together like an army summoned by the king.

Three black air currents were dispersed, and Withered narrowed his eyes, looking at the dazzling sun-like light in front of him.

"Roaring ・・・・・・" arched his body, and the black qi around his withered body swelled, gathering in front of him, forming a huge black sphere.

"Don't be too complacent, matchstick!" With a loud roar, the three-headed one was much more imposing than the one head of the Fire Demon.

[Don't underestimate people! Pitch black fork! With a scolding back, the Fire Demon threw the huge fireball held above his head towards the wither.

It was a spectacular scene like a comet falling, and the action of withering was beyond Akai's expectations.

I saw that the black sphere spread out, forming a giant net, catching the giant fireball, and the net kept pulling.

"Humph! Give it back to you! As the withered voice fell, a huge black net enveloped the fireball.

After a brief erosion, the originally bright red fireball was wrapped with black gas, and it slammed towards the fire demon at an even faster speed.

【What! Stunned for a moment, the Flame Demon paid the price for this, and was smashed head-on by the pitch-black fireball.

Hiding on the edge of the crater to watch the duel, Akai and I suddenly stretched out a fist and slashed downward.

"Yo Xi!"

"Well done!"

It's even more exciting than we hit it ourselves.

However, the party withered without any expression, and still looked solemnly at the place where the pitch-black fireball was burning.

The next moment, a pillar of fire rose from the ground, breaking through the black flames.

After the flames dissipated, I saw a flame war hammer appear in the hand of the fire demon, holding the weapon in both hands, and the momentum of the fire demon instantly increased.

[Let's taste what it's like to be hit by flames!] Pitch Black Fork] After that, the fire demon was like a god of war bathed in fire, dragging the flaming warhammer high and waving it in the air.

The blue light around his body was sheng, and the withered body seemed to be covered with a layer of armor, seeing that the fire demon wanted to fight in close combat, the withered did not fear at all, but reflexively greeted him.

"I wasn't my opponent in melee back then, and now I want to humiliate myself again? Do you think I'll be scared of you if I have one more weapon? The black qi all over his body surged towards the tail, and withering manipulated the tail with the strength of enough to shatter the obsidian to meet the flaming warhammer that fell from the sky.

Bang!!!!!!

The strong pressure coming from the center of the volcano made Akai and I fall to our knees, or we would be in danger of being blown out at any moment. This is not flat ground, and if it is lifted off, it will fall from a thousand-kilometer volcano, which is dangerous.

It was only after the air pressure had passed that Akai and I looked up again to see what was going on inside the field.

The opening air pressure is gone, and now in the center of the crater, the two great gods are engaged in hand-to-hand combat in a very violent posture.

The withered tail, which was harder than obsidian, constantly collided with the flame hammer formed by the extreme compression of the flame element, and constantly made a thumping sound.

After a rush to no avail, the fire demon retreated a short distance, [Your strength has actually increased a lot, could it be that you got something in the sealed void? Looking at the war hammer in his hand, the flame demon thought that more than ten years had passed, and he would be able to defeat the other party by completely mastering the origin of fire, but he did not expect that the opponent's strength would also increase on par with himself.

"Don't think too much of yourself, matchstick. During the long void seal, I completely mastered my own origin of death, and because of this, I was able to survive in the void beyond death. ”

There are also withering that are not spoken, that is, the beings that can move in the void are all creatures that have completely mastered their own origin, and can resist the pressure from the void with their own strength.

But there is an end to the void!

At the end of the void, there is a space storm turbulence called the cosmic barrier, no matter who goes too far in the void and is swept into the storm, even if it is a god, it can only fall helplessly.

During the long ten years of the Void, Withered not only perfected his power, but also explored the entire Void.

"Come on, Flame Demon, take a good look, this is the new power that I have been sealed for more than ten years!"

For a moment, the entire space was filled with dead air.

[What kind of power is this!] I, my flame is actually extinguishing! That's impossible! The Flame Demon was horrified to find that the flames that should have been burning on his body were now inexplicably slowly becoming smaller and finally extinguished.

"Feel it, Firedemon, this is the power of death・・・・・・"

In this vast land, the sky, and even the sea, there are countless forces of all kinds, and all kinds of elements come together to form this beautiful and colorful world.

However, no matter how complex and attractive these elements are, the only things that really dominate the world, which have transcended the normal elements, are 'life' and 'death'.

All things grow, and the end of life is death.

This is an eternal rule since the dawn of the world.

Now, the withering born from death, guided by the 'nothingness' of the void, finally comprehends death.

"Death is just the beginning ・・・・・・"

――――――――I'm a dividing line――――――――

"Useless guy!"

Just as the fire demon was tied, a voice from nowhere pierced through the fire demon's mind, followed by the fire element crystals in his body emitting a black light.

"Huh?" As he lamented that the battle of fate was about to end, the three heads suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Flames resurfaced from the fire demon's body, but this time, it was black!

The End Lands.

The ender dragon looked through the fire demon's gaze as the withered black figure floated in the air.

"I didn't expect the two old immortals of Creation and Him to leave such a hand, hmph, fortunately I left a back hand at the beginning, otherwise the plan to control hell and invade the main world would have come to naught. But it doesn't matter, as long as this guy is solved, everything will be mine hahahaha! ”

Camera rotation.

Wither's eyes widened as he looked at the fire demon who was emitting black flames all over his body. After a brief moment of sluggishness, withering thought of everything.

"I knew that fire elemental crystallization wasn't a good thing, I see, did the ender dragon keep such a hand?"

But then withered and laughed again, but it was so terrifying.

"Let's see, you're not the only one who has the cards. Death is not the end, it is the beginning of life! ”

The next moment, the dead air in the sky disappeared.

Akai and I, who were hiding on the sidelines, breathed a sigh of relief, this feeling of dying at any time was too bad! I dispersed the magic shield that was propped up around us. In the short period of time when Withering opened the realm of death, I subconsciously opened the [Magic Shield], and in fact I did it very wisely. In the next second, the [Magic Shield] was squeezing my mana at a frantic speed, and I could only helplessly watch as my mana value dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye.

With close to three thousand mana, it can only last less than a minute!

Fortunately, the field has withered and dispersed, otherwise Akai and I can only passively run down the cliff, watching the battle is one thing, but in order to watch the battle, we will not lose our lives.

At this time, a strong vitality replaced the otherwise lifeless surroundings.

"This is? Hey, hey, that's! How did I not know that withering in the original book still has this skill? "In the original game, as a hidden hell boss, Akai and I didn't fight. Although many times it is chased by withering and running all over the ground, which is quite embarrassing, but it is only the power of death, once it is hit by withering, then you will feel that life is leaving you all the time.

But what is the trouble of this vibrant force now? Wither, aren't you a Grim Reaper-level boss who wields the power of death? I've never heard of the power to make all things grow!

Simply change the name not to wither, but to grow・・・・・・

Akai and I were groaning frantically in our hearts.

"The flames are indeed powerful and can scorch all things, but life is stronger than the flames!" The withered tone was very calm, and it didn't seem like he was facing an enemy. "Even if it will be burned, life can still survive strongly."

Only by understanding death can we have reverence for life.

Gradually, it rained in the sky, which contained the breath of life. The black flames faded away.

Looking back, the fire demon didn't reply, and as the flames disappeared, they silently dissipated, leaving behind a fiery red elemental crystal, a red staff, and finally a huge green experience orb.

"Come out, two little ones." After a moment of silence, Wither said to us who were hiding on the side.

Akai and I hesitated a little and walked out from behind the rock face.

Withering looked at the person who had freed it from the seal, and his heart was filled with emotion.

When I closed my eyes and opened them again, the former Lord of Hell was back!

Akai and I looked at the withering in front of us uneasily, but the other party didn't seem to have any idea of being an enemy of us, which made us relax.

"It's a good force, and the potential for growth is huge." Wither said suddenly.

"It's over, for you, our strength is still far behind." I performed a mage salute, "Thank you for your help in solving the disaster in the Overworld. ”

As the fire demon faded, the volcano fell silent, and the monsters of hell, which had lost the fire demon's control, returned to the obsidian portal.

"This is a reward for your liberation of me from the void, and as far as I am concerned, I have all kinds of grudges with this guy, so you don't have to thank me." There was a pause, as if organizing the language.

Withered looked at us and continued: "Take what that guy left behind after his death, there is no longer its breath inside the fire elemental crystal, you can use this to break through the barrier of the great mage." ”

As he spoke, withering seemed to recall something, and the three heads looked nostalgic. Akai and I didn't dare to speak, and watched quietly.

"Oh? I'm sorry to get distracted, it's over, and I should go back to hell, but before that・・・・・・"

"Uh, may I ask if there's anything else?" Akai asked cautiously.

In the middle of the withered head and mouth, two balls of light floated in front of me, and the light dissipated, revealing the contents inside, which were two scrolls.

"You are God's chosen ones, and one day you will face that guy, where hell cannot reach, but I can help you in my way. Once you've broken through the realm of the Great Mage, learn these two spells. ”

I opened two reels.

[Kiss of Death] four big black characters appeared in front of my eyes.

And the other, the green word [Healing Magic Ring] is refreshing.

"You are always welcome in hell, my friend."

With that, the obsidian ground beneath Wither's feet split apart, forming a portal.

The former Lord of Hell is back!
