Volume 1: Shadow Rising Chapter 33: The City of Fog (7) Zero

On the River Thames, 15:20 p.m

The fight between the three continues.

Raven and Nicholas hit Jordi's vital point at least dozens of times, but the liquefied Jordi Ferron is immune to all physical attacks, and despite their best efforts, Nicholas and Raven can't hurt him to the point.

"If this continues, we will lose. Nicholas, who had temporarily recovered from the fight, said towards Raven.

"You're finally right this time. Raven affirmed what he said for a rare time, "Our physical strength is almost at the limit, and it must be us who loses in the end with him." ”

"And what are you going to do?" asked Nicholas, "do you want to retreat first?"

"Now there's no other way. Raven gasped. "If you don't retreat, you'll be consumed here. ”

"You can't do that!" cried Nicholas, "think about it, if we retreat, it will undoubtedly add pressure to the rest of the team, and now that we are the only ones who know what he can do, we must get rid of him here." ”

"I understand what you're saying. Raven replied, "But now we are completely helpless, so what's the use of staying here?"

"I do have an idea. Nicholas said.

"What's the weird idea?" Raven frowned slightly. "Although you were lucky enough to guess correctly once, I don't believe that your brain can guess correctly a second time. ”

"Don't look down on people. Nicholas stuck out his head and whispered to him, "We ...... Then ......" he confidently raised his head after the last sentence and said, "Trust me, we will never fail." ”

"But if that's the case. A hint of hesitation flashed in Raven's eyes, "Even if we succeed, your lifeβ€”"

"It's okay. Nicholas smiled. "That's what we are, aren't we, fighting to save people who have nothing to do with it, fighting desperately for that ungraspable hope. Because we are human, we have the courage to fight. ”

"Then listen to you this time. Raven clenched his bone blade, "If we're all alive after this time, I'll treat you to a drink." ”

"Then let's settle it!" replied Nicholas with a smile.

Jordi Ferron squatted on the frozen lake and watched them whisper, his eyes swept with disdain: "Hey, hey, what the hell are you trying to do? You can't win me, it looks like your strength is going to run out, right?"

"Don't worry, we'll be done soon. Nicholas gestured to Raven as he spoke, "But what I know for sure is that it's not us who loses, it's you. ”

"Hahahaha......" Jordi laughed, covering her face. "What are you kidding? Your attacks can't hurt me at all, how can you win me?"

"I said, don't jump to conclusions until the end. Nicholas's hand recondensed into a sharp ice sword, "Are you ready?" he winked at Raven beside him. "Let's go, mate!"

"I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Raven replied by wiping the sweat from his face.

The two of them rushed straight at Yordi from the front like arrows from the string, "Stupid!" shouted Jordi, "and it seems that you will die first under the attack of my Word before you run out of energy." ”

He raised his hands in a pistol pose and launched a fierce attack on the oncoming duo, the water bombs left bullet holes in the solid ice, and splashed countless pieces of ice that almost obscured their vision.

"Are you sure you can do this?" said Raven, who was running in a hail of bullets, "and we're afraid we won't get there if we continue like this." ”

Nicholas was more confident than ever: "Trust me, partner, this was expected by me, although we lost our vision, it also means that his vision is not much better than ours." ”

This statement is true, Jordi's visibility is not high due to the fog that has not yet dissipated from the river, although he can use the only remaining vision to snipe more accurately, but as the splash of ice kicks up the dust fog, his vision is almost zero, and he can only slightly gain the upper hand with the speed and frequency of his attacks.

"It's coming. Nicholas vaguely saw Jordi's looming figure, "Leave it to me, follow what I told you before!"

Raven nodded, then turned around and ran towards Jordidu's side, the dust and mist raising obscured his running figure, and even Jordi, who was almost close, didn't notice it.

"Damn it!" Joldi, completely out of sight, cursed angrily, "Get out of here if you have the ability." ”

"As you wish, I'm coming!" Nicholani roared and leapt out of the mist, the slender and sharp ice sword stabbed straight into Jordi's heart, Jordi was slightly startled, but he quickly reacted and quickly liquefied, and the ice sword went straight through his body without causing him any real damage.

"Is this your final blow?" Jordi regained his left hand and grabbed Nicholas' sword-wielding arm. "As I said, you are an idiot, and now you can't even escape, and all that awaits you is death. ”

"Who said I was going to escape?" said Nicholas, who was restrained, with a triumphant expression. "I didn't plan to run away, I wanted to be in this situation. ”

"What did you say?" Jordi suddenly felt the chill in his chest, and he looked down, only to see that the ice sword that had probed into his body and the half of Nicholas's arm were constantly extending ice crystals all over his body.

"What did you do to me?" JΓΆrdi could only watch as countless ice crystals began to crawl all over his body, but he couldn't do anything about it. "You bastard, stop me!"

"It can't be stopped. Nicholas stared straight into Jordi's panicked eyes. "The Word of Extreme Cold's Liberation Form, Absolute Zero, is a move that can only be used by touching the body with each other, and it can completely stop the movement of the molecules in your body, and it is said to be the most binding word. ”

"But if that's the case, your body will also suffer great damage, and the cells in your body will also be destroyed, don't you care?"

"Of course I don't care, as long as I can win this battle, I will be their bridge to victory, even if it is death, this is my realization. ”

"You guy!" Jordi, realizing that he had no escape, went crazy and raised his unfrozen liquefied right hand and fired a fierce shot at Nicholas, the water bomb hit Nicholas and left dozens of bullet holes in his body spurting blood.

"I'm not going to let go!" blood spilled from the corner of Nicholas's mouth, but he didn't move like a hill. "In order for them to be able to lead to a victorious future, I will pave the way for them with my life!"

"You're crazy!" yelled Jordi in despair, "if you don't let go, I'll kill you now, and even if I die, you don't want to live." ”

The only thing left to move freely was the wrist of his right hand, and he slowly twisted his right hand to aim it at Nicholas's skull. "You, you give me death!" Jordi's eyes were bloodshot, and he roared in rage.

"That's not going to work!" At the last moment, Raven, who had been secretly observing, jumped out and smashed Jordi's right leg, which had been completely frozen in ice, and Jordi, who had lost his center of gravity, tilted his body, and Nicholas's hand was also withdrawn from his body, and the water bomb that was originally going to pierce Nicholas's temple also deviated from its intended trajectory, almost clinging to his scalp and flying through the ice.

"It's just a good time. Nicholas felt weak that he could not even speak. "I thought you weren't coming, but I was worried for a while. ”

"What are you talking about?" Raven was checking his injuries, "we are partners, remember? ”

"Luckily, you're not like that. Nicholas smiled wryly, then coughed violently. "Whew, whew, it looks like he's pierced through my lung, and I really hate coughing the most. ”

Lying on the sidelines, Jordi had become a lifelike ice sculpture, his broken and broken right leg tossed aside, and the frost covered every part of his body, stripping him of vitality that once belonged to him.

Raven glanced warily at Jordi, "Is he dead?" ”

"This time he's really dead. Nicholas spat out a mouthful of blood, "Absolute Zero is different from the freezing effect caused by Absolute Zero, which directly causes devastating damage to cells and the effect of freezing is permanent, and the latter can only freeze on the surface and shape through ice crystals, so if you are hit by absolute zero, it means death." ”

"It looks like that's the case. Raven was using a bandage to stop the bleeding, "But at that time, I was really shocked when you told me about your plan, such a risk is not like you would do." ”

"Really?" Nicholas looked up at the foggy sky. "I used to be a timid and cowardly person, but then someone taught me that I can only create my future if I have the courage to move forward, and what he taught me, I will never forget in my life. ”

"I didn't expect anyone to be able to make you forget, but I was amazed. ”

"Nothing, but when it comes to forgetting. He suddenly reached out and grabbed Raven's bandaged arm. "I remember you seemed to say that if we all lived, you seemed to invite me to a drink, didn't you?"

"I, I, uh......" Raven made a meditative gesture as he feigned forgetfulness. "Did I say that, heck, you see my brain, I'm so old that I can't even remember what I've heard. ”

"Hey, do you bastard want to pay the bill?" Nicholas squeezed his arm hard. "I'm telling you, you can't run away if you want to pay off this time. ”

"Pain, pain, pain, let go, let go. Raven, who was in pain, begged for mercy again and again. "When we go back, I'll definitely ask you, okay, okay? Let go, let go, my hand hurts. ”

"That's pretty much it. Nicholas lowered Raven's arm. "But before that we need to contact the rest of the team, we don't know how they're doing. ”

"We'll find them. Raven took Nicholas by the arm and helped him walk. "Just as you trust me, I also believe in them, they will be safe and sound, rest assured. ”

The figures of the two of them drifted away on the wide ice, and finally became two indiscernible black spots, the mist covering everything and pulling the world back to silence from the hustle and bustle just now.
