Interlude: Partner (5)
"Click!" Under Raven's attack, the green vines instantly split apart, but soon regenerated, and at the same time, the consciousness of Raven's body was gradually disappearing, and he was now almost at the limit.
"Don't you give up yet?" said Beryl, looking at Raven, "you can't win, so you might as well just wait quietly for death to come." β
"It's unfortunate. Raven looked up at Baryl, "I'm the one who hates sitting still, so I can't do what you just said." β
"Are you still hard-mouthed?" Beryl snorted disdainfully, "no matter how you look at it, you can't win, your companions have abandoned you and fled, and you can't escape the fate of death in the end." β
"This shows how ridiculous everything you just said, human beings only selfishly choose what is beneficial to themselves, and the so-called companions are just false existences, so I said that I don't need companions at all!"
"You're wrong. Raven looked up at Baryl, "I'm never alone, and even if I fall here, my companions will keep moving forward, because they know what I'm thinking, and that's what I call a companion!"
The muscles at the corners of Baryl's mouth twitched obviously: "Enough! What a companion, it's ridiculous, I don't want to listen to you talk about that nonsense anymore, and this next move is the final blow!"
It's finally time for this last moment, and Raven is also accumulating the last strength, since he is ready to have the next move to determine the victory, then I will completely use up the last strength!
"Destroy it completely!" With a wave of his hands, Baryl struck Raven with countless sharp vines, which were far more numerous than all the previous attacks, and Baryl was ready to use this move to end the battle once and for all.
"Spirit of the air, listen to my call. Raven took a deep breath, and then shouted, "Wind Scar, Wind Fang Sky Array!"
The sharp wind blade whistled and cut through all the vines, the strong wind pressure could not open their eyes at all, and the ground and walls also left traces of the damage caused by the wind blade, and the solid stone bricks seemed to be penetrated.
Beryl's body was hit by at least dozens of wind blades in an instant, and finally his entire body was directly knocked out, and he just lay quietly on the ground and didn't move.
"Uh!" Raven propped his hand on the ground, this was already his last strength, the Wind Fang Void Array was a very destructive move, but after using this move, he would not be able to use the power of other nature spirits for a while, so he would not use it easily until such a time.
Before Raven could catch his breath, the ground behind him suddenly cracked, and Baryl crawled out of the crack with a mocking smile.
"Damn!" Raven immediately tried to stand up, but his body was completely out of strength at this moment. "Did you use a double again?
"That's right, I used a stand-in again. Berlier smiled, "Your last move is really amazing, if my real body is there to get this trick really bad, but fortunately I still have a hand, otherwise it will be difficult to say whether the outcome will be known." β
"Well, this time it's really over. Berlier raised a hand, "I have decided to give you one last ride with my own hands, which can be regarded as an affirmation of your performance in this battle." β
Nicholas, you should have brought the survivors back safely. In the final moments, Raven had no fear of death in his heart. Come to think of it, you guys still fit in well with me in some ways, but unfortunately I can't be your partner anymore.
"The endβ" Before he could finish his sentence, a razor-sharp ice spear sliced through the air and hurled at him, and Baryl was startled by the sudden blow and took a few steps back, the ice spear narrowly grazing his face and finally nailing to a wall.
"The battle isn't over yet, Beryl. Nicholas walked in through the doorway, a slender and sharp ice sword condensed in his hand, and it was obvious that the ice spear just now came from his hand.
"How's the survivors? Raven asked, looking at Nicholas.
"Don't you rest assured that it's time like this?" said Nicholas, "rest assured, I've escorted them all to safety, and I'll be back when I'm done with my mission." β
"That's right. Raven suddenly felt the stone hanging in his heart fall to the ground, "I didn't plan to bring you back, because I was ready to use this place as the battlefield of my last battle." β
"How can you not come back?" Nicholas smiled slightly, "you are my companion, didn't I say that I will never be able to abandon my companion? β
"Why?" said Beryl, gritting his teeth, "Why are you back here now after you have escaped here?!"
"Didn't you say that? I said I came to bring my companions back with me. β
"It's a companion again!" Belyl's expression had already begun to distort, "That kind of thing obviously has no meaning, why you are willing to risk death to come back for this kind of thing, it's really incomprehensible!"
"What the hell is he talking about?" Nicholas looked at Raven in confusion.
"It's just that what he's always believed in has been hit. Raven replied calmly, "Fighting alone, he never knew what a companion was, and I should say that he didn't understand what a companion meant. β
"No kidding! how could anyone be willing to sacrifice their lives for others, you humans are selfish creatures, this kind of thing can't happen!"
"You don't know anything about humans, you don't think you know anything about humans. Nicholas scoffed.
"Yes, I don't know about human beings. "You're so funny, I've never felt like this before, I didn't expect that one day I'd be so immersed in fighting humans." β
"Then, in order to prove that everything you just said is wrong, I will show my true strength and completely destroy the two of you here. β
"I'm afraid you won't be able to do it so easily!" Nicholas lunged at Belier, deftly dodging the vines that were constantly attacking him, and the distance between him and Belyl was getting closer and closer.
"But it's just a human, how can you be above me!" Bellier let out a roar, and hundreds of red vines covered with thorns as hard as steel burst out of the ground.
There are too many of them, Raven can't help but sweat for Nicholas, Nicholas, even if so, do you still want to attack?
Everything happened in an instant, all the vines were covered in ice, and Nicholas jumped into it, and the vines that turned into ice sculptures provided him with a foothold, and he jumped up again with the help of this foothold, and the sharp ice sword pierced straight into Beryl's eyes.
Two vines burst out of the ground beneath Nicholas, and Nicholas, who had been trying his best, had to dodge, but even so, the ice sword left a scar under Beryl's left eye.
Nicholas stood still on the ground, while Beryl covered his left eye, and a feeling of indescribable flashing in his right eye, and after a moment of silence, Beryl actually laughed.
"Interesting, so interesting!" said Beryl with a smile, "There has never been a battle that has made me feel so interesting, it's not over yet, keep fighting me!"
"This guy hasn't shown his full strength yet. Nicholas whispered to Raven, "But even this is already difficult to deal with, and if he uses all his strength, I am afraid it will be a hard fight than it is now." β
"I understand. Raven said, "But I can no longer use the powers of the Spirit of Nature, and it will be too hard to deal with him on your own." β
Baryl froze suddenly, as if he had received some message, glanced up at the ceiling, and snorted in some disappointment.
"It seems that it was discovered, and it annoyed people, it seems that today's battle will end here, so let's save your lives first. β
Behind Belier appeared a portal with even a dark purple light, and before stepping into the portal, he left one last word: "I remember your names, Raven and Nicholas, and we will meet again later, when it will be your time of death." β
The portal vanished in front of the two of them, and Raven and Nicholas looked at each other, unable to believe that things had turned out the way they were.
"I don't know what he wants to do?" Nicholas helped Raven up, "I was ready for a hard fight, but I didn't expect him to leave like this." β
"But it's also a good thing. "At least now we don't need to continue fighting here." β
"Are you feeling okay now?" asked Nicholas with concern, "I was worried about what would happen if you were dead, but fortunately it didn't get to the worst I had expected. β
"I can't die. Raven laughed, "If I die, you won't have a partner in the future, so how can you die so easily." β
"Well, it's time to go, partner. Nicholas helped Raven to the door, "It's a very tiring mission, and I need to get some rest when it's over." β
"Then let's hurry up. "We're just starting to fight as partners, and I'm afraid we won't have that much time to rest in the future." β
The figures of the two gradually disappeared into the dilapidated hotel, leaving only the flowers with fresh leaves and blood withering with the wind.
