Chapter 43: The Giant
Like the protagonist of all stories, Yihao certainly has the ability to survive the catastrophe
In fact, when he came to his senses, he seemed to be in a cavern, and it was pitch black all around, and the sound of dripping water in his ears was already coming from the back of his head, and the swelling pain made him confirm that this was neither heaven nor hell, but the fact that there was a small space between the two, and the fact that there was a human world in between. Yihao's mind blanked for two seconds, and then he decided on his priorities, and the heroic spirit of the Nordic warrior emerged from the darkness, and the glimmer of light on the heroic spirit's body illuminated the darkness around him, and after opening the spiritual sense, Yihao clearly saw the scene in the darkness.
"It hurts......" Yihao reached out and touched the back of his head, although it didn't bleed, but it was swollen. In retrospect, it seems as if he hit the ice wall when the sea poured in, but he has no memory of what happened after that. "Hmm, what the hell is this......"
Yihao checked his body, except for the lump on the back of his head, which didn't seem to be injured, and when he had to admit the miracle, he also noticed that he had the strange rusty sword he had picked up firmly in his hand. Yi Hao looked at the rusty sword in his hand, and the rusty sword still didn't show any outstanding appearance, but for some reason, he subconsciously felt that this encounter must be related to this inexplicable rusty sword.
"Well, I seem to have forgotten something...... Yihao frowned, and then his face turned pale. Oh yes! Lan! ”
"Call me, Yihao?" Lan's voice came from not far away, and Yihao turned around in surprise, but his expression became dazed in the next moment. "You...... What are you doing? Guru. ”
"You say these things? It was I who got out of the wreckage of a shipwreck, and in every danger it was, ensuring that food was a top priority. "Arashi was holding a pile of colorful cans in his arms, and he looked like a family was completely unharmed." Many of the ship's chests contained food, which was supposed to be camouflaged, but it would have come in handy at this time. ”
"The ship is there......" Yihao took a deep breath and slowly stood up. But where are we now? ”
"It's supposed to be somewhere under the sea. Before you woke up to me, I had searched the surroundings. But nothing useful was found other than the freighter. Arashi put the can on the ground and explained to Yihao. It seems to be a very large stalactite cave, but a large crater has been smashed into the wall above the shipwreck. I managed to get up and see that there was an invisible force that cut off the water from coming in, but it also kept us from getting out. There is air to breathe in it, and it seems that it is also because of that kind of power. ”
“…… Other words. We sank here with that freighter? ”
It sounded too incredible, Yihao was stunned for a while, but thinking that no matter how much he sighed, it was impossible to change the status quo, so he immediately decided to let go of his concerns.
"Anyway. Fill your stomach before you think about what to do. ”
"That's right, the boat should be like this when it goes straight to the bridge."
Arashi looked appreciative. And pat the ground next to it. Motioned for Yihao to sit down. When Yihao walked past. She used her Demon Slashing Sword to cut open two cans and handed one of them to Yihao.
"I'd rather eat beef...... "Yihao took the can. Looking at the flesh soaked in sugar water, he showed a distressed expression.
"Don't pick and choose!" Arashi smacked him on the ground. "It's good to have something to eat in this situation! I used to fight for a little food in the Arctic, but I had to fight with polar bears. ”
"Really...... It's amazing......" Yihao's mind came to the scene of Arashi trampling the 6 largest and most ferocious carnivores on the ground under his feet, and decided to remain silent on the spot.
Yihao buried his head in eating the fruits in the can, Lan looked at him from the side, and his eyes were surprisingly gentle.
When noticing the smile on the corner of her mouth that was getting higher and higher, Yihao couldn't help but stop his movements and asked with a confused expression, "Is my eating appearance ugly?" ”
"Huh? Oh, no, no, it's just a pleasure. ”
"Happy?"
"Well, because the dream seems to have come true......"
"Dreams?" This incomprehensible word made Yihao look confused.
In common sense, "dreams" have always had a positive connotation, is it not the slightest connection to dreams when you are trapped in the deep sea for thousands of meters, eating cold canned food, and worrying about your future fate?
"I actually have a younger brother who is a year younger than me......" said as if to explain, with a nostalgic tone. It was a very restless child, under the bad influence of my father, since he was a child, he was always mischievous everywhere, often angering the elders, every time I saw him punished, I was scared, but he always refused to accept the lesson, like an over-energetic little piglet running around...... That's probably when I couldn't let go of him. ”
"Later, I separated from him for some reason, and then I began to travel around the world, thinking that one day I would be able to walk with him, so that I could have the strength to protect him at that time, I tried to train myself during my travels, and when I noticed, he settled down, and lived a lazy and desireless life all day long, which made me feel like a fool ......for working hard for it."
Lan stared at Yihao with an indignant gaze, although it should have something that had nothing to do with him, but Yihao felt inexplicably weak for some reason, and subconsciously distinguished.
"But...... But maybe it's because I was too lively when I was a child, so I became a self-conscious person when I grew up...... And that's not a bad thing, is it? ”
"That's right...... Arashi said with an awkward look. But I still dream of having the opportunity to travel and adventure with him, to support each other during the journey, and to share each other's joy and ......."
"Yes...... That's a great idea. Yihao nodded reluctantly. But with me...... It doesn't matter, right? Right? ”
“…… You're almost exactly like that kid. Lan looked at Yihao seriously. Then suddenly smiled. "So, I feel like my dream has come true."
……………………
Although the food in the cargo ship was enough for the two of them to eat for two or three years, it was impossible for them to settle on this dark seabed, so after eating, they rested for a while, and Lan urged Yihao to come out.
The stalactite cave where the two of them were located took on a long, narrow shape like a tunnel, and since the direction of the shipwreck behind them had already been carefully explored, they set their target in front. The two of them went on the road with a small amount of dry food, and the darkness was almost invisible all the way, and they couldn't tell whether it was day or night. Through the Heroic Spirit, the earth is provided with spiritual knowledge. Yihao could barely make out the path in the darkness, and Lan, although he had no spiritual sense, was completely unaffected by the darkness. Moves in the dark, is more agile than Yihao, and often reminds Yihao of things he hasn't noticed.
I don't know if it's because I can't feel the time, so it's easier to feel tired, or if I've actually walked enough to exhaust my body, and the length of the stalactite cave is unimaginable. On the third awakening. Yihao estimated that the two of them had walked almost a hundred kilometers, but they still didn't see the end of the stalactite cave, and the supplies they carried with them were almost exhausted, Yihao couldn't help but think. If a demon slayer and a soul envoy starved to death at the bottom of the sea, it would be the biggest joke.
"Yihao! Come here! ”
Lan's excited voice suddenly reached his ears. Yihao looked up. I saw Arashi standing on a high cliff in front of him. Keep waving at him.
"Look there!"
After he climbed the cliff, Arashi pointed ahead and announced to him. "There is light!"
“…… Oh yes! ”
I saw the original dark and dull space. Suddenly, a little light leaked from a long distance. Although it was a rather faint light, it was a sign of courage and hope for the two of them after a long period of darkness. Yihao almost couldn't wait to run over, but Lan grabbed him and reminded him.
"Be careful! Cliffs ahead! ”
Yihao paused and looked ahead with his spiritual sense. I saw a cliff about two or three meters in front of them, the width of the cliff was more than a kilometer, and below was a bottomless abyss. It seemed that the other side of the cliff was where the light was, but because of this, the cliff that crossed the eyes of the two of them became an even more abominable existence, and Yihao couldn't help but curse in a low voice the prank of fate.
"you! What a joke! Yihao scolded angrily, and his voice sounded particularly loud in the stalactite cave.
"It's nerve-wracking, I can't jump over this distance......" Lan also showed a look of embarrassment, but she always felt that her level of trouble was far from Yihao's.
"If you go around from below...... "Yihao stood on the edge of the cliff and looked down, only to feel an indescribable wind rushing towards him, which seemed to be mixed with a faint smell of sulfur, so he dismissed his attention on the spot. Forget it, if you accidentally fall to the center of the earth, it won't be fun......"
"Can't you think of a way, Yihao?" Arashi looked at him expectantly. "Just like in a storm."
"You...... You know? Yihao looked at Lan in amazement, and the latter nodded in response, with undisguised trust. Yes, that's why I say that you have a power in you that you don't even know about. ”
"Is that so......" Yihao looked suspicious. Who the hell are you? ”
"I'm the instructor of the organization's Demon Slayer Punishment Force, and I'm also a companion who is now with you in weal and bene." Lan gently took Yihao's hand and put it on his chest. "Yihao, your power can help us get out of this situation, and now is the time to use it."
"Even if you say that, I'll ......," I wanted to say, "I can't help it," but changed it to "I can only try." For some reason, he didn't seem to be able to refuse Arashi's request.
"Well, you can do it." Arashi nodded, and the trusting gaze made Yihao's heart inexplicably hot.
With a bit of uneasiness, Yihao stood on the edge of the cliff and closed his eyes, recalling the scene in the storm. At that time, he acted almost unconsciously, and now he needs to consciously recreate the situation at that time, and the key to this is the evolution of the Heroic Spirit. The Dark Devil, who evolved from a Norse warrior, seems to have the ability to freeze objects. If you can create such an exaggerated ice field on the surface of the sea, it is not impossible to build an ice bridge on both sides of the cliff if you use your ability.
The most important thing is how to complete the evolution from Norse warrior to dark devil? Yihao had no clue at all, and he asked the Heroic Spirit to stand next to him and stare at the Heroic Spirit's appearance, trying to evoke the feeling at that time. The eyes are the windows of the soul, the heroic spirit is the mirror image of the soul, Yihao looks at the eyes of the heroic spirit. But the consciousness sank into his soul unconsciously. By the time Yihao noticed, he had lost the feeling of stepping on hard ground, and his body was floating like weightlessness.
In the process of descending, Yihao saw the appearance of the sea of consciousness. The blue light overflows from the depths of the Sea of Consciousness, making the entire surface of the sea appear dreamlike. Unlike in the past, when he could only wander on the surface of the sea, Yihao easily sank into the sea. Every drop of seawater contains memories and experiences of a certain moment, and such seawater surrounds Yihao. But instead of feeling breathless, he felt a burst of enthusiasm and warmth, and the Haitian contact of consciousness made him think of all kinds of familiar visions.
Forge the sword Gramm, challenge the evil dragon Fafn, fall in love with Brunhilde, be murdered by a traitor, come to the Valhalla Heavenly Palace, the throne of the land of the dead, and the gods yellow
Pro ...... The different lands were like a marquee, and a whole story came to his mind. The main character of that story is a dragon-slaying hero from Norse mythology named Siegfried. It was the name of his heroic spirit.
(I...... Such a great guy in the past...... Yihao was surprised. But what surprised him was not his own past experience. It's about accepting the experience so simply. It's like recalling a far-reaching memory, and he accepted the name of the dragon slayer hero without any resistance.
(That.) What's going on with that dark demon...... Yihao is looking for an experience related to the demons, but he is surrounded by Siegfried's memories.
(Could it be in a deeper place...... Yihao cast his gaze deeper into the sea of consciousness, then struggled to paddle his body and swam downward.
As he sank, the warm feeling in the sea of consciousness faded away, replaced by a cold, fierce feeling. This feeling gave Yihao goosebumps on his body, but it also evoked another impression in his mind.
The aristocratic young master's promiscuous life, the taboo of alchemy, the temptation of demons and the bliss of hell, the pact of Satan and the hostility of the heavenly realm, the truth of the origin of the world, with the sword of seven punishments of murder...... This illusion sketched in his mind a life completely different from that of the dragon-slaying hero, a son who was both good and evil, good and evil, and a chaotic man, whose name was ......
Dakris.
(What a contrast...... Although it should be an incomparably magnificent life in the eyes of others, it is difficult for Yihao to have any grand emotions because of his own experience. (So that's what happened, at that time, it was the power of the Demon Destroyer...... )
Originally, it was not bad so far, but Yihao noticed that the sea of consciousness was far from over, and there seemed to be something deeper below the depth of the Demon Destroyer. Curiosity swelled up in Yihao's heart, and although he was a little uneasy, he wanted to know what was deeper down, so he continued to dive down.
Unlike the previous explorations, the path down was pitch black, and the deeper he went, the more he felt some kind of strange resistance.
The sea of consciousness is the embodiment of the soul, in other words, Yihao is exploring his own soul. Having experienced dragon slaying heroes and demon destroyers, he didn't think that there was anything in his soul that would endanger him, so although he was uneasy, he didn't stop and continued to dive.
After an unknown amount of time, it was still dark all around, but the agitation grew stronger.
Then Yihao appeared.
At the end of the darkness, something was flickering, and it looked like it was the exit of a tunnel.
(Is that the one?) )
Yihao struggled to paddle towards the light and swam towards the light.
The moment his hand reached into the light, the boundless darkness around him suddenly turned into nothing, and the incomparably brilliant light filled all the space like an explosion, and the storm of light oppressed anything that dared to approach, although Yihao was not affected by the storm, he couldn't help but tremble.
-- Infinite majesty.
In the midst of the brilliance stood a giant, and the giant had an incomparably huge and majestic sense of existence, and Yihao felt like a small ant looking up at the vast galaxy......
- Infinite Toughness.
The giant's power had reached the point where even doing nothing would cause the world to be ruined, and for this reason, he sealed himself in this deep darkness......
-- Evolutionary extremes.
Yihao felt extremely regretful, he regretted that he should not have come to the existence of the giant who had infiltrated here, and he was far beyond the limits of people......
-- The existence of the level of the zài.
If the dragon-slaying hero and the demon destroyer are compared to the light of fireflies, then the giant is the sun that emits infinite light and heat......
(No, no!) Can't put it out! )
With the strongest sense of rejection, the giant of light was rejected, and the darkness around him poured out of nothingness again, and pressed the light back again, forming a small dot floating in the darkness.
Just like waking up from the deepest nightmare, Yihao was drenched in cold sweat, he didn't dare to look at the light spots in the darkness, and he didn't even have time to catch his breath, and he rushed out of the sea of consciousness with his hands and feet.
……………………
"Yihao! What's wrong with you, Yihao! ”
When his consciousness returned to reality, he saw Arashi looking anxious beside him.
"What...... What the? Yihao asked in shock, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"You suddenly fell silent, then laughed and angry for a while, and finally showed a very horrible look...... You okay? Arashi asked worriedly.
"Ah...... Ah, good thing, I'm just...... Something appeared in the Heroic Spirit. ”
After taking a few deep breaths, Yihao finally calmed down, and explained to Arashi as he vowed never to go to the Sea of Consciousness again.
"Anyway, I think I have a way to solve the problem at hand, you wait."
Under Lan's puzzled gaze, Yihao focused his consciousness on the heroic spirit of the Norse warrior. A dark fog poured out of nothingness, enveloping the Heroic Spirit, and when the fog faded, the form of the Norse warrior was replaced by the figure of the Shattered Demon.
The demon had an icy aura and raised his hand towards the other side of the cliff. The demon didn't make any extra movements, only to see the water vapor in the air quickly condense, freezing the ice, based on one end of the cliff, like a fairy bean in a fairy tale, extending to the opposite side of the cliff with a degree visible to the naked eye, and only a few minutes later, an ice arch bridge across both ends of the cliff was completed. At the same time, due to the large amount of water vapor extracted, the humid air in the stalactite cave became extremely dry.
"Uh......" Yihao licked his dry lips and turned to Lan Jian. Let's go over, shall we? ”
