045 Wheel of Time
The voice was so crisp that it even reverberated in this silent space, making the two of them clearly understand what had just happened. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Asuna turned her face to the side and covered her face with her hands. It hurt, she had never felt a moment in the game like this. Both physically and psychologically. Everything that happened to Lord Death would become extremely real, and the pain that shouldn't have existed made her feel that this moment was extremely real.
Slowly turned around, only to find that Lord Death's face did not have the slightest expression, and his eyes were terrifyingly cold.
Asuna bit her lower lip, trying to keep the tears from her eyes. The grievances in her heart reached the top in an instant, making her completely unable to suppress the tears flowing out, and she could only barely control them to stay in her eye sockets. But all the time, as tears overflowed her eyes, making her gradually unable to see clearly, two tear streaks finally crossed her reddish cheeks.
"That's enough." She whispered as if she was tired of it, and then suddenly shouted, "What do you understand! ”
"I don't understand anything. All I know is that the right person will never be you. Lord Death said with a blank face.
"What do you know?" She cried out.
But Lord Death just ignored it and whispered, "If you don't want your life anymore, then give it to me." At the very least, I can send you on your way with my own hands, instead of dying at the hands of that thing. ”
"Then take it."
Asuna has never been a talker. As soon as the light flashed, a blue light flashed when he raised his hand, and the thin sword stabbed straight at Lord Death. In this narrow terrain, the Rapier is definitely the cheapest weapon, and there is no one.
The Grim Reaper-sama only glanced at the piercing thin sword, and a slight mocking smile appeared on his lips. With a slight opening of his hand, the sickle stuck in the corridor appeared in his hand. The hallway was so narrow that Lord Death couldn't wield a scythe. However, he does not need it at all.
Deflect slightly, and use the scythe handle to block the stabbing rapier. No matter how much Asuna increased her stabbing speed, no matter how fast she connected her skills, she couldn't break through the Death-sama's scythe dance for a single bit, and she was stubbornly blocked from all attacks. In the end, she was easily caught by Lord Death, turned around and slammed Asuna in the chest with a sickle, knocking her to the ground.
Such a fall, coupled with the existence of the ladder, made Asuna fall into a mess. And when Asuna tried to get up and fight again, the Grim Reaper gave her no more chance, and the scythe rested on her neck, looking down on her condescendingly.
A shadow hung over Lord Death's face, and it was impossible to make out his expression.
Asuna feebly let go of her sword. She knew, she knew from the moment she made the move, that there was absolutely no way she could win. But she stabbed the sword anyway. She had to do something, she was already going crazy in pain.
She didn't believe that Lord Death would do this to her.
The tears had long since dried up during the battle, but she still spoke with a little crying: "Do it! Why not get your hands dirty! ”
Lord Death raised his scythe slightly, and then slashed downward.
Looking at the scythe that was getting closer, Asuna subconsciously closed her eyes, and her mind went blank. She didn't know what kind of mood she was in at this time. Is it hatred, or pain, disbelief, or something else? But she found some solace in this incomparably complex negative emotion. That's relief. Maybe if she died, she wouldn't have to work so hard again.
However, with a loud roar bursting in his ears, the expected pain did not come. After a long while, Asuna slowly opened her eyes and found that she was not dead, and her body was intact. Except for some pain from the place where he was hit by Lord Death, there was no other injury.
When he turned his head, he realized that the familiar scythe had cut through the earth and was stuck in the cracks. It was less than ten centimeters from her head. Even when she turned her head, she could see her red eyes and long, tousled hair from the shiny scythe. However, the position of the scythe was very delicate, and although the scythe was some distance away from her, it was able to make it impossible for her to pull out from under the scythe at all, and it happened to be stuck where she could move.
"Is that why you want to die?" Lord Death sat a few steps up, leaning against the wall, looking down at her.
"You care about me." Asuna didn't give Lady Death a good face at all.
Lord Death quietly pulled out his notes. Even in this dark corridor, the fiery red on the half side was still dazzling, illuminating a large area of darkness. He just stared blankly at the fiery red half of the face, and said nothing.
By that time, he had clearly understood what Lotus meant by what he was "longing for." That's a mechanism, or a power. That's something that only lotus can do. She wrote down a spell she knew how to reuse on a note, and as soon as Lord Death took out the note, the effect would be triggered unconditionally. And this effect is also very simple, there is only one. Neither attack nor defense, but taunt.
For any hostile unit, there will be an unconditional hatred for Lord Death. A spell that doesn't seem to make any sense, and the duration of this spell is only until the end of this world. Ren asks Lord Death to find her to reproduce new spells when she goes to the next world. But Lord Death knows exactly what this spell means here.
The right to act without scruples.
He can do almost anything to any monster without thinking about anything. Because the right of self-defense of the god of death is higher than the fate of the characters.
And on this notebook, there is another spell written down, which is written by Ciel, and so far Lord Death does not know what the effect is. But the only thing he knew was that this spell would allow him to solve everything.
All of this he paid for it at a price he would never have paid before. Even if the process is irreversible, it is forced, and these spells seem to be more like their compensation to Lord Death, but it is undeniable that to a certain extent, Lord Death has been tied to the ship of Hill and Lian, and it is impossible to think about it.
It's just that......
"Do you know what that color represents?" Lord Death suddenly asked softly.
Asuna looked at the note with some blankness. She'd seen it before, but was pretty sure it wasn't like that.
Lord Death smiled, but the smile was a little reluctant no matter how you looked at it: "Me...... There is nothing left. ”
Belonging, and not belonging, are just relative statements. But if something is clearly in oneself, but you have to obey the orders of others, then it has nothing to do with belonging or not belonging. Because whether you belong or not, the result is the same.
"What......" Asuna muttered. She couldn't understand what Lord Death was saying. But suddenly, in the lonely expression of Lord Death, she suddenly realized that she seemed to have done something wrong.
"All our actions are for the sake of survival, not for the sake of death. Only the will to survive is worthy of respect, and only the hope of life is the most wonderful thing. And these don't belong to you anymore. Lord Death muttered in a low voice. Then he smiled self-deprecatingly, recalled the scythe back into his hand, tossed the note into the sky, and then slashed the cover straight down.
The bright red cover fell in response, and the red-hot half slowly burned in the air, leaving only half of the surface black, mixed with a little silver light. The note revealing the title page fell weakly to the ground, accompanied by the Grim Reaper's weakness to his knees. Once again, he experienced the heart-wrenching feeling. But this time, it was he who chose it on his own initiative.
This time he couldn't hold on any longer, and two consecutive soul blows made him pass out directly. Both the scythe and the notes disappeared to the ground, except for the half-page cover.
Asuna watched this scene with some consternation, completely unable to understand what was happening. She pursed her lips, she wanted to leave, but in the end, she still couldn't rest assured of Lord Death, so she picked up Lord Death and walked to the top. It's only a few steps from the top, and with the attributes the game gives her, it's not too difficult a task.
It's just that when she caught a glimpse of the midnight book cover that fell to the ground, she couldn't help but pick up the half of the cover. What is it that makes Lord Death look like this? To her surprise, this half-page cover was able to fit her in her backpack.
I didn't think much about it, just put away the book cover and hurried on the road. She knew where Lord Death lived, and she was going to send Lord Death back to see what it was.
