208. Escape
How many years ago, on a sunny afternoon, in an old castle, a kind voice once said to himself:
"In ancient times, Odin, the god king of Northern Europe, in order to obtain the fountain of wisdom, exchanged the loss of a right eye for the wisdom of Rune. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ infoIn order to solve the mystery, Odin hung himself from a tree for nine days and nine nights, thinking about the mysteries of the universe...
γγγ When he came down from the tree, he realized Rune...
γγγ Those are twenty-four magical spells, and if you engrave them into wood, stone, metal, or even any other material, you can get infinite power...
γγγ The 24 letters are divided into three parts in groups of eight, called "Etter". These three Etters are Frey (Norse mythology, the god of abundance, prosperity, love, and peace) Etter, Haag (the god of chokeness and difficulty in Norse mythology) Etter and Tyr (the god of war in Norse mythology) Etter...
γγγ This sacred text can foretell the future if it is combined in a specific way. And each word has its own power to protect the soul of mankind. It can also be used to craft talismans, record magic, and carve into stone, wood blocks, shells, or other natural materials to form rune stonesγγγγγγ
γγγ But after Ragnarok, such power was lost for a time... The cause of the war was nothing more than pride and prejudice between the heirs of the two families, but it brought three centuries of cold winters to the world...
γγγ Remember! Magicians can be proud, but they must not be arrogant! Arrogant to the point of disregard for life! We are not gods, and we disdain to be gods! β
"Ah!!!!h
A terrible scream resounded throughout the space, shattering memories and bringing them back to reality.
The sword that was supposed to take the head straight of the person was only cut by the opponent's wrist in the end. The weapon fell to the ground, and the other party clutched his bloody wound and screamed.
The reason why he didn't take his life was not because of the woman's kindness, but because if there was no one to lead the way, Seamus didn't feel that he could easily escape, so...
"Don't! Don't come here! β
The other two frightened enemies retreated, wielding their knives, but such a haphazard move was a futile waste of physical strength.
Seamus cleanly broke their right hand, and in such a state, if not treated in time, they would soon lose too much blood and die.
"Adults with blood loss of 500 ml can have no obvious symptoms. However, when the amount of blood loss reaches more than 1,500 ml, it will cause insufficient blood supply to the brain, leading to shock and even death. β
Seamus looked at them coldly, picked the eldest of the three, and said, "So, before you lose too much blood, run for your life!" While it's still too late. However, it is best not to assume that you will be able to join the guards, and I promise to kill you before you can reach them. β
After saying that, Seamus threw out the sharp blade in his hand, and the short sword made of ice stabbed between the guy's legs, and he was only 0.01 centimeters away from castration.
Feeling the biting chill that clinged to his lower thighs, Sakata shivered.
Soon a wave of warmth enveloped his lower limbs, dispelling the cold.
He missedγγγγγγ
Then, as he watched the subject make two more short swords, Sakata yelled and ran towards the exit.
"Sakata-senpai, wait for me!" The remaining two followed without hesitation.
Looking at their distant backs, Seamus, who could no longer support it, shook his body slightly and almost fell, and the power of the runes had been exhausted.
Although the ice sword made by condensing the water vapor in the air would not dissolve so easily even without the supply of rune power, the power to support the body was not.
As soon as the healing power dissipated, Seamus was immediately beaten back to his original type, soreness, fatigue, fasting and pain, and all the discomforts that had been suppressed suddenly returned, making him almost faint.
There is a reason why ancient magicians chose trees, stones, and metal instead of human bodies to carry their runes. However, the fit between this body and the runes was much worse than Seamus had expected, not to mention that it was compared to the average level of magicians, even inferior to ordinary people.
If Seamus had gone all out just now, he could indeed kill the two of them, but he couldn't hold the third person down at all, and he would have to be one step ahead of him.
My stomach was rumbling, and I didn't know how long this body had been hungry, if I could replenish some energyγγγγγγ
However, that's just a wish, so let's get out of it nowγγγγγγ
βkenazβγβlaguzβ
Enduring the pain, carving runes into his legs again, and feeling the renewed vitality in his body, Seamus hesitantly looked at the dense glass jars around him.
If he could, he would have liked to save the suffering children together, but then he would not have been able to escapeγγγγγγ
"I'm sorry...
Obviously there is no reason to apologize at all, obviously it is just a group of people who don't know each other at all, but Seamus still said it. This is not a hypocrisy to satisfy the little conscience that he has left, nor is it out of the guilt of the heart of Mary, but a great reluctance to be unable to save others.
"I swear to be brave against the bow wraith!"
"I swear to fight all mistakes!"
"I swear to fight for the unarmed!"
The ancient oath echoed in Seamus's mind again, but it was like a thorn full of barbs beating his heart: "I swear! There will never be a next time! So, wait for me to come back! β
Following the bloodstains left by the three of them, the pale and thin figure chased after them, and gradually disappeared into the shadowsγγγγγγ
It was only after a few minutes, after it was determined that Subject 2 had disappeared, that the female researcher who had fainted from having her hands frozen with the oxygen tube carefully opened one eye.
After cautiously surveying her surroundings, carefully brightening every shadow and making sure that no one else was there, the female researcher easily broke the ice, and her white hands were completely free of frostbite.
She picked up a piece of ice slag on the ground and tried to melt it with the heat of her palm, but found that it was much slower than normal, and then touched and licked it.
"The hardness is about the same as that of moonstone, and the composition is water, but further laboratory analysis is needed. Although it takes a long time to activate, it basically reaches the level of LV3, and if you take into account that the opponent may have left some power before, it can barely reach LV4. However, I didn't dare to kill anyone, hum, after all, I was just an immature ghost. What do you think? Grandpa, don't you recycle? Or do you need to keep watching? β
Tyristina Kihara Levrain, the first subject of the "Ability Body Crystallization Experiment", the granddaughter of Kihara Phantom, said with her hand flicking her long hair back.
With long hair flying, a small earhook walkie-talkie on the right ear is exposed.
