Volume 2: The Holy War of Blood Chapter 38: The Bridge (7)

The sea boiled, and the scorching water vapor emitted from the surface of the sea almost burned Aaron's bare skin, beads of sweat kept sliding down his cheeks, and even the steel around him was too hot to get close.

"We're running out of time, the boiling waters are gradually expanding, and if we continue like this, we will be trapped here forever. Newt shouted at Aaron from under the gangway.

"How much longer?" Aaron asked, looking down, "Give me an exact time." ”

Newt wiped the sweat from his face and said, "15 minutes at most, do you understand? We have 15 minutes at most, Aaron, if they can't come up in 15 minutes, we'll have to leave!"

"I know!" Aaron replied, his eyes fixed on the people on the shore, praying that they would come up with a solution sooner. "Please hurry up, catch up no matter what, otherwise there really will be no future for humanity!"

On the shore, everyone is trying everything to get out of the current predicament, but each attempt fails, the ground is cracking more and more, magma is constantly gushing out, the boiling sea water makes it impossible to get close at all, and all the passages seem to have been cut off.

"No, not at all. Raven, who had tried to create a path through communication with the Earth Spirits once again, collapsed to the ground. "It's so chaotic, the forces of nature in this land have gone crazy and I can't communicate with them at all. ”

"The roads are gone. Ye Xiang, who had been around the circle, said to Xiao Er that his lips were chapped and bleeding due to lack of moisture. "It's all gone, and the only way left is the boiling sea in front of you, but now going into the water is tantamount to suicide. ”

"There must be a way, I can't give up yet!" Shore wiped the sweat from his face, his eyes bloodshot. "We can't just give up here yet, we have to find a way to get us going. ”

There was nothing they could do, and although none of them stopped what they were doing, they all had the same thought in their hearts. Even if we win the battle, we still can't turn the tide, and if we have more power, we may be able to change all that.

The uneasiness and despair began to creep in, and Nicholas could feel it clearly, but instead of showing undue concern, he closed his eyes and recuperated, at least until that moment came.

"The time has come. He opened his eyes, a faint smile on his lips. "It's time to finish my final mission. ”

It was getting worse and worse, he thought to himself. My body has begun to stiffen, the sight in front of me is becoming more and more blurred, and my consciousness is gradually disappearing, but now is not the time for me to fall, come on, the last strength of my soul!

The man really wanted to do that kind of thing!Looking at Nicholas's smile, Beelzebub struggled to break free from his restraints, but the ice sword that pierced his body had pinned him firmly in place, and no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't get out of his current situation.

"You fellow!" Beelzebub finally cried out, "if you do something like that, you will stay here forever, don't you even want your life!? let go of me, let go of me!"

"That's why I say you don't understand what the nature of humanity is, Beelzebub. Nicholas looked at Beelzebub in front of him and said with a smile, "For the belief we carry, for the will to pass on, for the love we love, we will fight to the end, even if we sacrifice our lives, this is human beings!"

Nicholas stretched out his left hand, and even this movement was almost exhausting all his strength. The air along the coast instantly became cold, and countless ice crystals began to condense in the air, and they continued to shape and extend forward, and finally reached the position of the "Knight".

"What is this?" Ye Xiang looked at the scene that was happening in front of him, and already understood who did it. "Is it Nicholas, does he want to build an ice bridge to that submarine?"

"Everyone!" Nicholas's resounding voice rang out, "I'll make the way for you, and when the ice bridge is fully formed, you can board this bridge and leave, please be sure to evacuate safely!"

"But what about you, partner!?" Raven suddenly realized a serious question, "Aren't you going to come with us?" ”

"No, I can't leave. Nicholas looked at them and said, "If I leave, there will be no way for the ice bridge to continue, I have decided to stay here, leave now, for the future of humanity, you must move forward!"

Ye Xiang looked at Nicholas's eyes and finally woke up, from the time he proposed to be an assassin, he had already decided to make such a sacrifice, this is what was hidden behind that look, it was the consciousness of the man in front of him who risked his life.

"You lied to me, Nicholas. A tear slipped from the corner of Ye Xiang's eye. "You obviously said that you would come back alive, and you promised me to survive, why did you lie at that time!?"

"I'm sorry, vice-captain. "I lied to you, but if we don't, we'll all die here, and that's the last thing I'll have to do." ”

"You bastard, why are you lying to us over and over again!" Raven couldn't contain his emotions, and he even wanted to interrupt Nicholas from using his abilities right now. "You're a fool, don't always do such reckless things!Do you think you're a hero!?

Raven finally choked up, knowing in his heart that this was the only way to win the battle, but this victory was so painful that it seemed to tear himself apart, and he couldn't accept this victory at the expense of his comrades.

"Hey, mate. Raven looked at Raven and said, "Thank you so much, no matter what, we are always partners, and the days of fighting side by side with you are really memorable!"

"Have you made your decision, Nicholas?" Shore asked, taking a step forward, holding back his tears, but his heart ached more than anyone present.

"Boss, this is the last thing I can do for everyone, I've made my decision. Nicholas smiled, "Thank you, everyone!"

"You must have finished your word!" Beelzebub roared, and the ground beneath his feet cracked, a dark purple glow shining through the chasm. "Even if you build a bridge, it's useless, they won't be able to get there!"

The tremor of the ground became more violent, and Beelzebub poured all of his remaining chaotic energy into the cracks in the ground, and this influx of energy forcibly advanced the destruction of the entire city.

"Hurry up now!" shouted Nicholas, "the destruction of this city has gone faster, and if you don't set off now, you really won't have time!"

"Let's go!" Shore gave the order, Ye Xiang and Raven followed closely behind him, and everyone did not turn their heads to look at Nicholas behind them again, but at this moment, the sorrow of the earth wanted to tell the whole world the pain in their hearts.

They did not dare to turn back, and they could not turn back, the bridge in front of them was shaped by the lives of their comrades, and now they could only continue to move on, and keep going, and keep going, until they won this war, and that was what Nicholas wanted them to do.

Farewell, my comrade-in-arms, goodbye, my comrade-in-arms, maybe we will die, maybe our battle will be in vain, but I know you have no regrets, and when we are gone, we will surely drink and talk in heaven.

"Let's go, everyone!" shouted Nicholas with all his strength, "keep moving forward, and I will be your bridge to the future!"

"I will be your bridge to the future!" the voice could not be dissipated for a long time, and with this shocking sound, a solid ice bridge appeared on the surface of the sea with dazzling brilliance.

At this moment, Beelzebub only felt an indescribable shock, he had heard this sentence once, it was the words that Berry had said on the verge of death, and after so many years, he had actually heard the same words again.

Is that so, that's what human beings believe. He finally understood what the so-called faith is, belief is such a thing as even human beings can give up their lives, it is constantly passed on, and it is carried out by generations of people to the end, this is faith, this is one of the reasons why human beings can continue to fight!

I was wrong. Beelzebub laughed at himself in his heart, humans are really a very interesting group of creatures, and the battle between them really made me see my own loneliness, the final winner of this battle may not be on their side, humans, this creature may really be able to create so-called miracles.

Everyone stepped onto the ice bridge and ran towards the "Knight" at the fastest pace, everyone was silent, the farther they took each step from the shore, and the farther away from Nicholas, everyone was clenching their teeth and forcing themselves not to turn back, this pain was tormenting everyone who was advancing.

"It's all over, Beelzebub. Nicholas looked at Beelzebub and said, "I will freeze the city with the last of my strength, and we will all sleep here forever." ”

A blinding light appeared, and everything that was hit by the light was rapidly frozen in the direction that Nicholas had already prepared, and once everyone else was safely gone, he would use the Word Aurora Zero to freeze himself and Beelzebub and the city forever.

"I see, and I can kind of understand why I lost. Beelzebub bowed his head and smiled, "But as the lord of hell, I can't just do nothing, I have things I have that I have to accomplish!"

Beelzebub gathered the last of the chaotic energy in his body, and this last energy finally turned into a dark purple ball of light. In the face of Beelzebub's final blow, Nicholas could only watch, he had no power at all now, and he was powerless about all of this.

"Go!" Beelzebub whispered, and the ball of light immediately struck at the ice ball that Nicholas had created, and if such a blow was successful, everyone on the bridge would now be plunged into the boiling water, and the battle would be a hellish victory.

I don't know what's going on, looking at the ball of light that is flying towards the ice bridge, Nicholas doesn't have any worries, as if this attack can't succeed, this kind of peace of mind is something Nicholas has never felt.

Like a gust of wind, the white wings blocked the front of the ball of light, and the fire between the lightning and flint stained the sky red, and it was only when the dust and smoke cleared that Nicholas finally understood why he felt so reassured.

"Is it Gabriel?" Nicholas closed his eyes, "it was just in time, so that what I said I had to do was done." Leader, vice-captain, partner, you must win this war!"

"Did you still lose?" Beelzebub hugged Nicholas's body, which was already about to fall, and he clearly felt that this body no longer had a soul. "Looks like you've finally come to the end of your life's journey. ”

"Sleep, Nicholas. Beelzebub said in a soft tone that could never have come out of the mouth of a demon. "You humans have really surpassed me, and I can only pay tribute to an opponent like you, and it looks like it's time to end. ”

Light enveloped the two of them, and finally the entire city of Akureyri, where everything was covered in ice crystals and even the scorching magma was completely frozen in absolute zero temperatures.

Everything has finally returned to silence, and this is the frozen world.
