Chapter 60: The Heart of the Broken Embankment
"Equivalent substitution is the truth wherever it is used. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
- Demon Seventh Sequence - Nikolai Fellman
…………
"The Demon Pact is indeed the quickest way to gain power. But there is one important aspect that should not be overlooked. -- Equivalent substitution. Nikolai's eyes were filled with frenzy and sadness.
Unlike asking for alms and blessings from gods or angels, demons give power and worship the equivalent of taking and giving.
"People... class, compensation. The Devourer was pumping the strength of his whole body, resisting something, and a low, indiscernible noise came from his mouth.
"I promised that I would trade important things for this power." The blue-haired girl grabbed the arm of the demon that was holding her with one hand and said with difficulty, but her eyes were very determined.
Nikolai frowned, as if somewhat incomprehensible.
"How much power can something like Devourer give you? Your talent is far above it. Yuan stared at the girl who was gasping for breath and told a fact.
"In addition to being summoned as a helper, the demon also gives the summoner the power of the Abyss." The girl stared at the Devouring Dao that choked her.
"And the power of the abyss will demonize the caster and enhance the function. However, it will also gradually affect the mind, be changed by the aura of devouring, lose reason and sink down. Eventually, it will turn into the lowest level, and there is only a killing half-demon in its eyes. Nikolai added in a cold tone, as if warning the blue-haired woman in front of him.
"As long as you can get power, get rid of your bonds, and be free. I've had enough of the eyes of humanity! Therefore, even if it is replaced by fear...", the girl's eyes flowed with madness.
"You know that means...!"
"Enough is enough, Nikolai. No more talking. It's time for this farce to end. Yuan's faint voice sounded from behind.
Nikolai fell silent. He nodded, then took a step, facing the Devourer.
"-No!" Impatient, high-pitched voices echoed in the air.
The blue-haired girl had already understood that the man behind Yuan had the power to make even these eighth-order devourers fearful. If he strikes, he will surely kill the Devourer before it can give him the power of the Abyss.
"You don't have the right to stand in the way of me! I can do anything, why do I have to do it! The girl's resentful gaze pierced through Nikolai and looked through to the source.
"Because I'm your teacher."
"What teacher?" Destini was stunned. Obviously, he didn't know the true identity of the black-robed lecturer. In her old memory, Gen was a man who sincerely begged to teach swordsmanship, and he was also an interesting person, a person full of freedom, and someone who didn't look at her in a strange light.
"Black-robed lecturer."
Yuan replied expressionlessly.
The girl was a little overwhelmed, but soon returned to normal. She had heard of the deeds of the 'black-robed lecturer'.
She was unable to participate in the Fall Qualifying Contest due to her frailty, but as the rumors grew, she learned about the legend. I had the idea of wanting to visit, but every time I wanted to act, the chic back of the source would appear in my mind, was it a bit of a superfluous move? She had already made up her mind to target the man's style. Sure enough, forget it.
"You're running away." An emotionless voice came from afar.
It's not like that source at all. Is it because of anger? Or is it like this, the dashing person before is just an illusion of disguise. But no matter what, what she has to do now hasn't changed.
"Whether it's a demon or a power, it's also out of the eyes of others. It's all just running away. ”
Tiny's body trembled slightly, and for the first time, she felt something other than firm and anxious.
"Compensatory exchange! (Devil's Language)"
Breathing out obscure words from his mouth, he wants to complete the ritual immediately.
"Actually, you just don't want to look directly at the people and things you hate." Gen took a step forward and came to a position that was shoulder to shoulder with Nikolai.
"The power of an eighth-order devourer is nothing more than a joke to you. Your talent is even enough for you to reach the pinnacle of the Holy Steps ten years later. Yuan continued expressionlessly.
"Don't come here..."
"But the demonic pact has made you sinking. For what you want is not power, but to escape from the medium around you that you hate. This medium is - demonization. Whether it's a fall or an abyss, just leave here and you'll be satisfied. Gento said, stepping forward again.
"Don't come here!!"
"The Destini I know is that gentle girl who works hard to practice swords under the sun! And not the current you. "The source ruthlessly destroys the girl's heart.
"Don't talk to yourself... What gentleness is not the way to survive in this world at all. I'm getting out of here. The blue-haired girl said with a slight tremor in her words, unwilling to speak. At the same time, the demon pattern is carved on the body of the devouring demon that has been suppressed by Nikolai from beginning to end.
"As a human, you have nowhere else to go. Even if you become a half-demon, you don't really have a place to live. You don't have the ability to find your own sky. It's a fact. ”
"I don't need you to care!" The girl's inner defense line became more and more fragile under Gen's words, and finally lost the ability to refute, and could only shout loudly, as if at least this would be reassuring.
"Therefore, follow me. In the past, Destini was dead in the eyes of people, and now Destini will follow me to a place where no one knows, and continue to live tenderly! ”
I don't know when Yuan has walked in front of the blue-haired girl. Forcefully hold the little white porcelain hand that the girl wants to resist.,Support the girl's weak shoulders that are desperately trembling.。
The two eyes look at each other, the black depth and the pale blue pale eyes opposite. The girl wanted to look away, but her chin was forcibly held by a big hand, and she had to look directly at the blazing eyes of the man in front of her. -- The eyes that seem to say, 'I'll take you away.'"
Countless tears suddenly welled up in the eyes of those who were already difficult to retract the defensive line. -- The girl's heart was broken by the water that burst the embankment.
As if giving up, the body that had lost its strength fell into the arms of the source.
"Woo... Whining... Woo woo woo woo ......" choked out intermittently from the weak delicate body.
It took a long time before it quieted down.
Looking at the tear-stained face that was sleeping in his arms, Gen sighed.
……
"Nikolai, what are you doing, deal with that devourer."
"Oh, the man who penetrated the girl's heart was born in front of me, how can you not be shocked?" Nikolai said with a blank eye.
"Thanks to asking Rina about Tini before I came. As the head of the house, I know the information of the students well, otherwise it would be really difficult for me to grasp the situation. Yuan said with some emotion.
"But thank you so much this time." Gen gave Nikolai a sincere look. Nikolai suppressed the Eater and even went to argue with Tiny. He could have kept his mouth shut and watched.
"It's nothing, it's just that I saw a shadow similar to my previous self, and I couldn't help but do superfluous things." Nikolai shrugged.
Holding the girl in his arms, Gen stood up and nodded at Nikolai.
