Twenty minutes later, West wasn't too surprised to find out that his reinforcements had not only been there where he needed them, but had also brought his boyfriend with him.

Merlin's magic was of many uses, at least compared to the various superpowers he had ever seen, and was no less lethal and practical. Coupled with the special relationship between the two, it is indeed not unusual to put a tracking magic or something like on yourself. No matter how bad Charles is, there is always a way to reveal his location to the mage. Sooner or later, he will be caught, and Lord Hermit only hopes that Merlin can suppress his anger now...... For God's sake, he felt that his boyfriend's look probably meant that he was going to kill him together.

"Ah, it looks like things are better than I thought."

Taking off his sunglasses and looking at the figures of the few people coming and going in the clearing, Logan was not in a hurry to help. Although this three-on-one scene looks dangerous, the other party not only has psychic abilities like Adelaide who can control the situation of the battle, but also absolutely difficult helpers like ghosts and poisonous snakes. But West is also not a commodity to be manipulated by others - since the completion of the third mutation, the young man's abilities have undoubtedly risen to a new level, and although it is laborious to resist the mental attack of the deprivation of the five senses, it is not as vulnerable as it was at the beginning. In addition, the guys who stood at the peak of violence with the Avengers learned the essence of melee combat, and the dodge skills were full, and if they wanted to really suppress him, this level of siege was not enough.

Obviously, this is also recognized. The ghost and the viper glanced at each other, and the attack formation of one left and one right changed instantly, and the black-robed boy with spatial ability threw out a levitating circle, and appeared behind West in the blink of an eye. At the moment when the hermit had to turn back to resist, the poisonous snake bullied forward at the same time, and along with Adelaide's sharpened steel blade, liquid venom also squirted out of his mouth in an instant, and pressed his head and face against West's face.

The reason why a poisonous snake is called a 'poisonous snake' is because it can secrete snake-like venom, and whoever gets a little bit of it will not be able to eat and walk around. West had already been hit once before he checked it, and the arm, which was only slightly splashed with venom, was still in a state of paralysis, and if he was splashed by this extremely poisonous venom, he would probably go into shock immediately.

Naturally, it is impossible to let this happen. Seeing that West had no intention of changing his moves, Wolverine also knew that it was time for him to play. Six extremely sharp blades stretched out in an instant, and with a flick of the figure, the poisonous snake flew straight out from the side. And Merlin moved even faster than him, only raised his hand, and at the same time as the golden light flashed in his pupils, the dozens of blades that Adelaide shot at West's back stopped in mid-air as if they were stopped by a transparent wall.

He seemed stunned. The blue-eyed girl turned her head to look at the mage, her expression was still blank, but there was something more than before, and in just a moment, she was drowned in the same dead silence as ever.

"I thought you were going to just stand there and watch me get killed."

Rolled in a circle on the ground to prevent being taken away by the ghost's hovering circle. West looked at Logan, who was fighting the viper, and then at Merlin, who was confronting Adelaide, and sighed faintly.

"That saves me a lot of work."

At a glance, I saw that the grass that the boy swept over was sprinkled with a lot of gorgeous scarlet along the way. The mage laughed angrily, flung a cutting spell at the blue-eyed girl, and immediately ran to West's side while she was flying to dodge. One hand tightened around his waist and helped him stabilize his figure.

"Where's the injury?"

There was no fluctuation in his tone, but West could just hear that Merlin was upset right now. Reflexively shrunk his neck, experience had taught him that it was better to tell the truth now, so the hermit did not hide it.

"I was stabbed by that kid."

Pointing to his back, and then to the ghost that had re-emerged from the levitation circle not far away, West was also quite depressed when he mentioned it. After all, it was a dozen or three, and no matter how careful he was, it was impossible for him to completely dodge every attack, and now he only broke an arm and left a little blood, which was already the result of his extraordinary performance.

"Good."

After a pause, he finally had someone to vent his anger. Merlin didn't talk nonsense, and directly threw a healing spell to the hermit, rolled up his sleeves and started to move with the ghost boy.

What happens to a world's greatest magician who has lived for more than a thousand years, and a reformer who is not yet twenty years old and has acquired superpowers?

Touching his nose, he didn't think Merlin would suffer anything at the hands of the ghost - in fact, it might be that the other party had to worry a little more. West simply stopped paying attention, but focused his attention and looked at the blue-eyed girl in front of him who had been staring quietly here for some reason.

"Alai."

The call that was too heavy crept through the tip of his tongue, although he said that he would not be bound by the past again, but in fact only he knew that the sins he had borne were still not repaid.

There was indifference between his eyebrows, and Adelaide did not speak or move.

"I know you hate me."

Shaking his head self-deprecatingly, West lifted his eyes and looked directly into the girl's green eyes like new leaves for the first time. He knew what kind of hatred had been filled with these innocent eyes many, many years ago, and he also knew that behind the seemingly calm emptiness now, there was still an instinctive killing intent hidden for himself. But in any case, between the real end of this grudge that spanned twenty years, he couldn't just rush to end their encounter.

"I am willing to repay with all I have, and I can accept the death you give without hesitation as long as you wish."

"But that will be after the curtain is over."

And now, just as Adelaide is not her own, WestXavier cannot stay out of this battle. Without watching Elizhe and his ambitions disappear from the world, and without seeing Project Tower and his genetically modified bionic soldiers completely destroyed, he would never have been able to fall into a peaceful and bitter eternal sleep.

What's more, there's Merlin.

The gravel under his feet floated out of thin air, and the woods behind him were windless. The evening afterglow fell from the sky, but was transformed into a sharp blade the moment it touched the ground. Westian stood quietly in front of Adelaide, his eyes focused and sad, clearly brewing an attack that could only be done with all his might when he was fighting for his life, but there was no murderous intent around him. Just as he once recited every warm fairy tale for a girl in the dark and damp underworld of the Alps, only the tenderness that spreads with the light never ends.

Staring straight into West's ocean-blue eyes, staring at the faint smile she knew all too well. Adelaide spread his steel wings several meters long behind him, and the spiritual attack of the five senses deprivation came overwhelmingly, but his expression was in a trance for a moment.

She had relied on this teenager with all her heart.

In that dark dungeon, only he was the clearest.

Her world has always been just him.

… …

After joining Wolverine and Merlin, the situation in this clearing began to show a one-sided trend from stalemate.

West naturally doesn't have to say anything to Adelaide, preventing such a big killer weapon as the deprivation of the five senses, and of course he won't lose to a child in the rest of the hand-to-hand grappling. And Merlin and the ghost are completely a contest of magic and superpowers, one throws a levitation circle to move instantly, the other reciting a spell phantom shifts, coupled with the mage's endless magic, the scene quickly turned into Merlin's unilateral crushing of the other party. And Wolverine's side was a completely one-sided situation from the beginning, Logan's super self-healing ability made him not afraid of the venom of the snake at all, plus Professor X remotely added a buff to him, Adelaide's psychic ability couldn't be used on Rogan after taking West and Merlin one after another, but it made him the one who solved the opponent the fastest.

"Do any of you need my help?"

He pulled his claws out of the viper's chest, letting the blonde man fall to the ground behind him. Logan looked so relaxed that he wasn't even having enough time, looking up at the battle of his companions not far away.

"Thanks, no."

The golden light flashed in his pupils, and the ghost who had just stepped out of the levitation circle and wanted to sneak attack seemed to have hit a wall, spitting blood and falling backwards, unable to get up for a long time, Merlin stood in place without blushing and panting. Not to mention how much he experienced a thousand years ago, even in Camelot, he didn't have a fight and killed people on the battlefield, so it naturally didn't take much trouble to let him deal with a guy who didn't have much offensive power now.

Compared to their ease, West, who picked the most difficult opponent and suffered physically and mentally at the same time, was not so quick. One rolled over to dodge the blade pushed by Adelaide, and the hermit took a few steps back, manipulating the air flow to trap the girl, but because he had too many concerns, he didn't succeed after all.

"He didn't use all his strength." Standing in place and observing for a while, it was naturally impossible not to see that West was leaving his hands everywhere, Merlin frowned slightly, "Why?" ”

He'd seen West fight like he was in, and it completely turned everyone's perception on its head. As Captain America Steve Rogers once commented very pertinently, West Xavier's fighting style is actually the same as himself, hiding an absolutely abnormal bloodlust and madness under the normal calm appearance. Not to mention keeping his hand, even if he can die happily, even if the hermit is in a good mood, but today he is suddenly so abnormal in front of that girl, he has to ask the archmage if there is any secret that he doesn't know.

"I can guess a little."

Touching his chin, Wolverine stared at Adelaide in mid-air for a while, his expression thoughtful, "If I'm not mistaken, she is indeed that person...... The whole mutant school knew that it almost ruined the girls of West. ”

His expression was stunned, and he couldn't help but think too much about this ambiguous expression, and the mage's face sank.

And then Logan's muttering to himself made him tie his eyebrows into knots.

"So, facing a little girlfriend and a little boyfriend at the same time...... This is probably a gathering of old and new loves? ”

- Old Love.

Hehe.

Without hesitation, he raised his hand, and a magic threw West, who was facing away from him, directly into the water. Merlin snorted coldly in everyone's horrified gaze, reciting an ancient incantation, and in an instant, a gust of wind blew the metal-winged girl far away.

"Merlin?"

Dumbfounded as Adelaide, who had just been on par with him, fell deep into the woods, and West sat in the stream, completely unaware of what was going on.

"Are you awake?"

Raising his hand, a stream of clear water burst out with his movements, splitting his head and covering his face, drenching West's face. The mage stared at the cold-hearted young man, his tone sounding as calm as ever, but it was not difficult to find the dangerous anger hidden in it.

"If I don't stop you, do you really want to die at her hands?"

The hand hanging at his side clenched violently. He remembered the first quarrel he had with the boy at Camelot many, many years ago, and knowing Westerlike Merlin, he could naturally understand what place Adelaide occupied in his heart, and he could also see at a glance the decision made by the hermit.

He knew he couldn't intervene. No matter how unwilling you are, it's West's past.

But it was precisely because of this that he felt unprecedented disappointment.

"I ......"

The answer never changed, but it was not suitable for him to speak frankly. West opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't say anything. looked at Logan as if asking for help, but found that Wolverine was completely watching a good show, and didn't want to explain anything to him. Lord Hermit twitched the corner of his eyes silently, and in desperation, he could only appease the archmage who was about to eat him.

But—

By the time they realized that the crisis was looming, it was too late.

Perhaps it was the first time he faced such an opponent, and he really underestimated the ability of the transformer to resist blows, and after hitting the ghost hard, he didn't expect him to be able to get up. Just as Merlin was teaching West's lesson, the black-robed young man who had already been stunned staggered to his feet at the same time, struggling to use his last strength to unfold a levitating circle behind the mage.

At the same time, in the depths of the woods, a sharp sound of breaking the sky also sounded. Adelaide stretched out his metal wings, several meters long, and whistled in their direction, so fast that only the afterimage remained.

Merlin ——!!

Because he was slapped into the water by his boyfriend, he was still some distance away from the mage at this time, and this situation was too dangerous. West didn't have time to break up the levitation circle, so he could only raise his hand, and a cluster of water pillars rose into the sky, condensing into sharp ice edges in mid-air, and stabbed straight into the ghost's chest.

And Logan also reacted very quickly, and when Adelaide attacked behind him, he had already turned to meet him, but he only had time to knock down the sharp blades that were densely coming towards him, and he couldn't prevent the girl from passing by him like a whirlwind and making the same attack on Merlin and West.

Everything happens between the lights and the fire.

As West's ice edge pierced the ghost's heart accurately, the four metallic feathers from the blue-eyed girl behind him pierced his chest without mercy. Reflected in the fading blue eyes, Merlin looked at him for the last time with a shocked gaze, and in a split second, he was slammed into him by Adelaide's whole person, and fell backwards into a suspended circle that almost dissipated invisible.

They disappeared together from where they were.

The clear water that flows through this forest has been stained a blinding red with blood.
