"No, you hurry up and run away......"

Amethyst struggled to escape from his arms, but the subtle screams in his mouth were muffled by another sound of water. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Startled, Amethyst looked at the source of the sound, and then saw a new column of water appear behind the approaching three-headed giant.

"Woooo The roar undoubtedly came from the elephant jellyfish that had been bullied by the giants just now. They had already dragged the giant away, but it had chased after it from behind.

Amethyst instantly forgot about her condition, and just widened her eyes in surprise-

First the surface of the water was divided, and then nearly twenty legs of the jellyfish were wrapped around the giant's face and arms.

The giant immediately let out a "Hoosh, hoop!" He screamed in anger and brandished his iron sword. But the movement of swinging the sword in the water is quite slow, and it is impossible to get rid of the entanglement of the opponent's feet at all.

“…… Original, original ......"

Amethyst whispered in a hoarse voice.

The elephant jellyfish was originally an evil god that grew in water. When it was on land, most of its feet were useless to support its huge bowl-shaped body, but now when it enters the lake, its entire body floats on the water, and all of its feet can be used to attack. On the other hand, the giant needs to use two arms to swim, and its attack power has been reduced by half.

In other words, the "appearance" in Feng's mouth just now originally referred to the evil god of jellyfish. Now that she remembered that jellyfish were indeed animals in the water, Amethyst felt frustrated that she hadn't even noticed such a simple thing, and then clenched her hands even more.

The elephant-headed evil god is like a fish in water, no, it should be said that he suppressed the three-headed giant with the momentum of a jellyfish and made the giant's head sink to the bottom of the water. The battle between two oversized monsters caused a huge wave that spewed a large amount of water as it hit the ice.

The jellyfish screamed more sharply, and its body began to glow blue-white. The light then turns into tiny sparks that flow into the water through twenty feet.

"Ah......h

"Great!"

Amethyst screamed at the same time as the wind. The health of the three-headed giant began to decrease dramatically. Using the observation skill, he found that every time the spark flickered, the health of the three-headed giant was up to hundreds of thousands.

Perhaps it was the giant's last cry, as there were several flashes of red flickering beneath the surface of the water, and then several pillars of steam floating, but none of these had any effect on the Jellyfish God's health. After a while, the purring began to slowly decrease, and finally stopped altogether—followed by a super-massive polygon explosion that made Amethyst completely invisible to her vision.

In an instant, Amethyst turned her face to the side. When he turned his head back, there was only one evil god left behind.

Pur Pur Pur ...... After a roar of victory, the jellyfish lifted all its feet high.

Then I immediately put them back in and started swimming on the surface of the lake.

When its huge body climbs onto the shore, the water that flows down its body is almost like a waterfall. Amethyst swallowed as she watched it walk towards them on the snow and ice.

The heavy footsteps of the god as they drew closer and closer made the soles of Amethyst's feet vibrate, and when it stopped in front of their eyes, they could once again feel that it was indeed huge. A foot that looks like a tiny tentacle when fighting a giant is as thick as two hands together. Those feet were like towering trees, allowing them to see only the outline of their steamed bun-shaped bodies.

The head on the front of its body is very similar to that of an elephant. The rounded parts of the cheeks that resemble ears might be called gills, and a nose about the length of the foot hangs down from the bottom of the face. There are three eyes on each side that look like black lenses, and although it looks a little scary, the overall expression is funny because of the shape of the rice balls.

"So what are we going to do next............

The wind whispered.

Amethyst did say that he wanted to help this evil god, who was only a bit like an elephant, but he didn't think about the next action at all. Now in front of them was a terrifying evil god-level monster, and it was still the yellow color of the enemy, as long as its sharp claw foot stepped down, Amethyst and they would definitely return to the western sky immediately.

But on the other hand, it is already quite unusual that it did not attack at this moment. In a high-level training ground like Twilight Gem, once all the monsters find a trace of a person in their sight, they should immediately attack like a madman, and since it didn't do so, wouldn't it just wait for the jellyfish to leave automatically......

But Amethyst's idea was shattered after a second. After the evil god let out a "Woo-woo" cry, his long nose stretched out towards the two of them.

"Babbling ......"

Originally, the wind was ready to flee backwards, but the little monster who had not spoken so far suddenly pulled his ears with his cute little paws.

"It doesn't matter, master. The kid wasn't angry. ”

…… Child? Amethyst almost didn't dislocate her jaw after hearing this name-

The nose split at the front end curled the two of them up in one fell swoop. Then he quickly lifted the two of them off the ground like a carrot.

"Babble~~"

The wind that made such an embarrassed scream and the amethyst, which couldn't even make a sound, were easily lifted to a height of tens of meters by the Elephant Evil God and slowly put it in his mouth - fortunately this did not happen, the Elephant Evil God just threw the two of them on his back.

They fell on the body of the elephant god, and at one point bounced up before sitting down again. The jellyfish, which looked rather smooth from a distance, was actually covered with short gray hairs, and when the wind and amethyst sat down in the center of its body, the jellyfish squealed contentedly, and then began to move as if nothing had happened.

“…………”

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

After Amethyst and Wind glanced at each other, they no longer tried to figure out the current situation, but just looked blankly at the surrounding scenery.

Although Twilight Helm is known as the land of eternal night, it is not completely dark. The icicles that cover the overhead all glow with a slight phosphorescence, staining the entire snowfield with a thin layer of blue. Even though this is an ultra-dangerous area, the view is still very stunning. Amethyst, from a height of tens of meters above the ground, saw the pitch-black forest, the steep cliffs, the towers built on them, and the distant ancient city.

The twenty feet of the jellyfish continued to tread heavily, and the wind swayed on its back for a minute or so, and at last it muttered:

That is to say...... This should be the beginning of some kind of mission, right......? ”

"Hmmm......"

Amethyst tilted her head and replied in a low voice:

"If it's a mission, there should be a start sign at the beginning......"

"If it doesn't, it's not a delegated task with a clear beginning and end, it's an occasional event...... But if that's the case, it's a bit of a hassle......"

"Why?"

"If it's a mission, you're bound to get some sort of reward at the end. But the event is a bit like a drama in which people participate, and it doesn't always end well! ”

“…… In other words, is it possible that there will be a very tragic ending in the end? ”

"Of course it's possible. I've been in a horror movie-like incident before because I chose the wrong action option, and I ended up being boiled to death by a witch in a pot. ”

"This, this...... You're talking about a scary game......"

A stiff smile appeared on the wind's face, and then he began to touch the abundant hair of the evil god under his waist.

“…… Well, anyway, I have mistakenly boarded the thief ship, wrong, I should say that I mistakenly got on the jellyfish. And jumping from this height will also hurt a lot, and we will only have to make it to the end...... But—that ...... It's a bit late though......"

"What's wrong?"

The serious wind first stared at Amethyst, and then suddenly lowered his head and said:

"Amethyst...... I'm sorry just now. Say something that ignores your feelings. Well...... Maybe there is really a place in my heart that underestimates the cruelty of reality. But...... Whether it's real or virtual, real or unreal, the things and thoughts I feel are actually the most real, and I should be the one who knows this best......"

The wind lowered his head, a sad expression flashing across his face.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Amethyst always felt like he had seen this expression somewhere, but he shook his head vigorously several times to drive it away from his head.

"No...... Actually, there is something wrong with me. That one...... How could you, who have worked so desperately to save me and the Wind Elves, think that everything Ichiyun has experienced in time and space is nothing more than a game, I know that very well......"

To exaggerate, every time and space tests the dignity of every human being. Since this is a plane, it is impossible to win forever. Whether it's falling into a trap set by the enemy and getting caught in a dilemma, or being defeated by the enemy from the front, these are all things that can happen at any time.

When that happens, how far people can struggle, and whether they can maintain their dignity when they fail. These are the places where every time and space tests everyone. In the case of games that are normally screened on a flat screen, as long as the player does not type the icon, the expression on the character's face will not change, and of course, you can also use emojis in instant communication to soothe the regret caused by failure. But in the real time and space, everyone will faithfully present everyone's feelings at that time. Sometimes people even shed tears of remorse.

And some people just don't want to be seen with this expression, so they immediately laugh and give up the game when the situation is not in their favor, and many people even flee the moment they lose. Of course, Amethyst didn't want her crying face to be seen by others.

But the incredible robot puppet in front of him doesn't seem to be able to do these superficial tasks at all. At that time, when he was attacked by the fire elves in the corridor and fell into a desperate situation, and when he was beaten by the magic sword of General Yun, Feng Du did not hide his anger and remorse, but struggled desperately and succeeded in turning the disadvantage in the end. It is impossible for someone who thinks that the real world is "just a game" to do such a thing.

“…… That one...... I said you......"

Amethyst, who was about to ask something, hurriedly closed her mouth again. Even if you have a good relationship with each other, you shouldn't ask about something more private.

Amethyst shook her head at the puzzled wind to indicate that it was okay, and then said with a smile:

"That'...... We'll be okay with that. It doesn't matter what time I get because I'm free. ”

With that, he held out his right hand, and the wind smiled and said, "That's it," and shook his hand.

The elephant jellyfish carrying two people didn't care about the conversation of the passengers on their backs at all, but kept stepping forward with heavy steps. After casually looking in the direction of progress, Amethyst instantly began to frown tightly.

"What's wrong?"

After hearing the sound of the wind, Amethyst replied while stretching out her right hand:

"Didn't we just say we should go to the west or the southern corner? But the kid seems to be going in the opposite direction entirely...... You see. ”

A large silhouette gradually emerged from the darkness in front of the finger. At the tip of the twilight heim's gentle arc, a number of inverted cone-shaped structures hang down. In addition, there are many reticulated objects made up of complex branches that surround very large icicles.
