"Damn, the speed and number of regenerations are too much!" Nicholas had just cut off several oncoming vines, and in a matter of seconds, the broken vines were restored to their original state.

"It's going to go on like this. Raven said as he looked at the seemingly endless vines that were constantly regenerating in front of him. "There's no way, we have to retreat now, we have to take these survivors out safely. ”

"Oh, yes. Belier smiled as if he had suddenly thought of something, "You're here to save these humans, so I'll help you lighten some of your burden!"

"Oh no!" Raven was shocked, "That guy wants to attack the survivors!"

Just as Raven had predicted, countless vines were attacking in the direction of the survivors, and Raven and Nicholas reacted almost at the same moment, and the two of them stepped in front of them, trying their best to meet the vines in front of them.

"I won't let you succeed!" sweat dripped from Nicholas's forehead, and the two of them were already tired from the continuous high-intensity battle.

"Not necessarily. With a flick of his hand, the ground around the survivors shattered, and vines burst out of the ground and pounced on the survivors with their jaws full of sharp teeth.

Nicholas and Raven are still fighting in this situation, on the one hand, the powerful regeneration ability of these vines is really a real headache, and on the other hand, they have to protect the survivors, which makes their battle very difficult.

The floor was starting to crumble, and it was fair to say that the hotel would collapse completely, and Belyl didn't care about the situation at all, because he didn't know how many times he had done the same thing before.

"Ah!" exclaimed a young boy, the ground under his feet crumbling in an instant, but Nicholas grabbed his hand at the last moment, so that he did not fall directly.

The boy began to cry out of fear, but Nicholas smiled at him: "Don't be afraid, with us here, we will be fine, and everyone will be able to return safely at last." ”

"Really?" asked the boy timidly, "brother, can you really let us all go home?"

"Definitely. Nicholas smiled and said, "I will escort you out safely, I want you to assure." ”

"Be careful!" Just as Nicholas was about to pull him up, Raven suddenly shouted, and a vine had locked onto Nicholas, coming at his back as he was caught off guard.

"Poof!" Raven jumped in front of Nicholas, the vines piercing his left shoulder, blood dripping down his arm, Raven endured the sharp pain and slashed the vines that pierced his body with the bone blade in his hand.

"Raven!" Nicholas hurriedly helped Raven, who was about to fall, but now Raven's face had become extremely pale, and the expression on his face was extremely painful.

"The body is gradually paralyzed. Raven looked at his hand and said, "Is it because of the vines? ”

"Yes, it looks like you've felt it. "As long as you are injured by the hunting vine, your body will continue to lose consciousness, and eventually lose all consciousness." ”

"You guy!" Nicholas shouted at Beryl in a fit of rage, "I can't forgive you for such an insidious trick!"

"Say whatever you want. Beryl smiled nonchalantly, "Your situation is even more dangerous now, so let me see how much time you can last." ”

"Come on, come!" cried Nicholas fearlessly, "I'm going to wipe you out here for all, Beryl!"

"No!" Raven stretched out a hand to stop Nicholas who was about to attack, "I can't drag it any further, Nicholas, leave here with the survivors now, and I'll leave you behind." ”

"What are you talking about?" said Nicholas in disbelief, "how could I leave you here alone, and if I had to do this, I should have left you behind, how could I have left you behind when you were wounded?"

"It's because I'm injured that I'm the one who stays. Raven's tone was very resolute, "My body has begun to lose consciousness gradually, so I can't go that far, and I can't escort them, so I should be the one who left the cover." ”

"I won't leave you alone!" Nicholas still refused to give up, "If you want to leave, we will go together, if you want to stay, we will stay together, I will never do such a thing as abandoning my companions!"

"It's a mission!" Raven shouted at a loud voice, "Our mission is to get these survivors out safely and then tell headquarters about what happened here, isn't it?"

"Nicholas, although the two of us have very different personalities, but you are indeed a good partner, now you listen to my last sentence, take them out of here, and I will break the queen for you. ”

"I see. After a long silence, Nicholas spoke with a solemn face. "I'll escort them out safely, but don't die, I don't want to change partners so soon." ”

"Lend you good words. Raven barely managed to squeeze out a smile on his pale face, "Then let's go now, that guy is going to start the next round of attacks again." ”

"Come with me, everybody!" Nicholas shouted at the survivors, "I'll get everyone out of here, hurry up!

"Do you want to go?" "How could you possibly let you do it, don't think about getting out of here today!"

Vines struck Nicholas and the survivors from all directions, and Nicholas kept swinging his ice sword to cut through the vines, but the number of vines was getting more and more, and the situation of Nicholas and the survivors was becoming more and more dangerous.

"Listen to my call and give me strength here, Spirit of the Air! Wind Marks Wind Fangs!" With Raven's shout, all the vines surrounding Nicholas were torn apart in an instant, and the survivors of Nicholas seized the opportunity to leave.

Yes, that's it, Raven thought to himself as he looked at Nicholas' back. It's all up to you, Nicholas, and make sure to get them out of here safely.

"This power is the spirit of nature. Beryl's eyes narrowed, "Yes, boy, do you have this kind of power?"

Raven gasped and didn't answer, his physical strength was rapidly draining, and the paralysis in his body was getting worse and worse, just now it could almost be said that he had used all his strength.

"Looks like you won't last long. Suddenly Balyl lowered his hand, "I have some questions for you before I kill you, human. ”

"What's the problem?"

"I don't know if I should praise you for being brave or stupid for volunteering to stay here and die. You two could have just run away from the beginning, right? Why don't you do that?"

"Because it's my job. Raven clutched his hand over the wound on his left shoulder, but he smiled. "It is our duty to protect the survivors, how can we leave them behind, this kind of thing cannot be done in any way!"

"Duty. "What's the point of that kind of thing? I never cared about it, like I'm here right now because I turned my back on my duty, so I don't know what you mean." ”

"I see. Raven smiled and said, "You've always been fighting for your own pleasure, in other words, you don't have a purpose at all, you just do whatever comes to mind, right?"

"That's right, that's how I live. I hate commands, I just want to do what I'm interested in, and why should I care about other things that have nothing to do with me? ”

"Don't you feel lonely?" Raven asked abruptly.

"What do you mean by that?" said Beryl.

"Because you're thinking about yourself, you shouldn't have any companions, right? It's just a lonely person enjoying your own fun, you're a lonely person, I can feel it. ”

"Lonely, I am indeed lonely as you said. After a long time, Baryl spoke. "I can have one of my companions, but I can just talk a few words, and other times I am really alone. ”

"But so what?" said Beryl, "I am the only one in Hell who has no real companions, not even subordinates who can confide in him, but this is how I choose to live." ”

That's right, I've always fought like this, Beryl thought to himself, the so-called companion doesn't exist at all, because everyone only thinks about themselves first, and there is no need for such a ridiculous thing as a companion to exist.

Asmodeus wasn't a companion, I was just talking to him, and if something was urgent, I would have sacrificed him mercilessly to save myself, which I had always done.

"If you fight like this, you will understand one day. Raven looked into Beryl's eyes and said, "But now is not the time to talk about this, come on, I'm afraid this is the battlefield of my last battle." ”

"Then I'll do what you want. "I don't know if the guy you're with will be able to get out, maybe he's dead now." ”

"He's not going to die so easily. Raven wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, "After all, he is also my partner in name, how can he be defeated by you so easily?"

"I hope so. "But you won't see it, because you're going to die here, enjoy the last moment." ”
