Chapter 139: The Mixed Truth and Falsehood
Shi Lan looked hesitantly ahead, the fear in her heart seemed to be transformed into the most primitive fear at this moment, and the terror she felt became real.
The purgatory-like sea of fire, like a closed lotus flower, envelops the sea surface hundreds of meters in circumference.
Liu Ye was there, Shi Lan's heart couldn't tell what it was like, even if it was far away, the burning heat made her feel a slight tingling pain all over her body, this was just an overflow of energy, and he didn't know how much pain he was suffering in the center of the technique.
If he was still alive......
At this moment, Liu Ye was trying his best to protect his body, and when Agareth was furious and unleashed this earth-destroying fire magic, he successfully smashed a mind control technique into Agareth's body, and at the same time forcibly dodged the first wave of flames with the help of voiding.
But what he didn't expect was that Agareth did not completely lose control of his body, and after losing the precise control of his magic, this sea of fire rioted and began to strike indiscriminately against two of them.
However, Agareth did not seem to be afraid of the flames, allowing them to bombard his body, but remained unmoved.
Liu Ye naturally couldn't do it, and he wouldn't try, so he could only dodge as much as possible, but the bad thing was that under the frequent use of magic to fight, his eyebrows began to ache faintly again.
I don't know how long it will last......
Liu Ye moved his gaze to Agares, who was standing in the center of the sea of fire, the tall man with short blue hair closed his eyes tightly, the hand holding the magic wand hanging by his side, the black crow "quack-quack-" while hovering above his head, and the holy grail was silently suspended beside him, and the cup once again ignited a dark blue flame.
Fully automatic defense, what to do...... His brow furrowed, Agareth was focused on fighting the mind control technique, and now was his best chance to attack.
The deadwood staff emitted a light green fluorescence, and the ice blue covered Liu Ye's eyes in an instant, and the flying snowflakes surrounded him again!
Ice crystals grew rapidly along the blade of the Deadwood Staff, and two thin dark red lines stretched rapidly along the center of the two sides of the sword......
Try again!Liu Ye clenched the cold ice sword that shone with seven-colored brilliance, and the white spatial magic array under his feet unfolded.
It is necessary to take this opportunity to inflict substantial damage on Agareth, otherwise it will continue like this...... There is no chance of winning at all.
Can't wait any longer!
One step! After crossing a space of several hundred meters in just one step, Liu Ye came to Agareth's side. A colorful sword shadow with a huge roar slashed towards his head!
The speed was so fast that it even set off bursts of spatial ripples, and the colorful sword bodies continued to flicker and jump on the way down, exuding incredible energy fluctuations, countless bursts and sharp sounds roared, like dragon roars, shaking the entire sea of fire and stirring up countless waves of flames!
At that moment, Agareth opened his eyes, and in them were the phantom of the three demons that roared, a man, a cow, and a sheep.
"Very nice, really nice. He said softly, "It's the first time I've seen the magic that directly attacks the soul, and I thought it was just a legend, but I didn't expect it to really exist." β
"Hiss......"
Liu Ye's body seemed to be imprisoned by an invisible lock, and he couldn't move. The colorful sword body stopped less than ten centimeters above the center of Agares's eyebrows, and it was difficult to move a single bit.
"Do you think I'm really going to be affected by that technique?" Agareth grinned, "If your magic can be stronger, maybe there will be a chance, but with your current strength, you will definitely not be able to affect my soul." β
"......" Liu Ye tried his best to move his body, but he couldn't even move a finger.
"Agares is the second of King Solomon's 72 Pillar Demon Gods, and was formerly the leader of the Angels of Virtue. Among the seven deadly sins, it stands for '**'. It is described as a demon with three heads, the head of a man, a cow, and a lamb. His pleasure is to provoke people to drink or gamble or to sin or to sin. Agareth clasped his hands together, and the phantoms of three demons also appeared in Liu Ye's pupils.
"His power is strong enough to destroy any dignitary, holy or profane. It is said that he has the ability to foresee the future and solve all the mysteries of the world, but what he says is half-true and cannot be easily believed. Agareth whispered in Liu Ye's ear, "Can you see through which ones are fake and which ones are real?"
He stretched out his hand and pushed, and Liu Ye fell straight backwards, falling into the surging sea of fire......
The scene in front of Liu Ye's eyes changed instantly, his perception of reality was cut off, and his memory was covered with a thick layer of dust......
A city can best reflect its hazy and independent after the rain, and walking in the affection of the city given by the heavy rain is not a journey to explore the soul. When the glitz and bustle of the city loses its place in the moment when the rain pours down, the meaning of the rain clearly emerges in this sacred moment of tranquility.
Liu Ye sat on an open-air chair on the third floor of the library, breathing in the fresh air that nature gave to this small city after the rain, enjoying the afterglow of the sunset on the horizon, and listening to the free cry of birds. The breeze blows with the smell of earth, and the harmony between man and nature is so perfect.
He looked up at the gray sky after the rain, his eyes a little misty.
I seem to have forgotten a lot of things...... He shook off his hair, which had become wet from the rain.
Liu Ye moved his gaze to the football field in the distance, where the teenagers of the opposite age were playing with the soccer ball under their feet, while the people on the basketball court on the side were also immersed in their joy, and a group of sparrows chirped and landed on the green fence around the court like a prison net.
If you can't remember it, you can't remember it, and that's fine.
He looked down and stroked the cover of the book in his hand, which was Ernest Hemingway's "The Flowing Feast", and casually flipped to one of the pages, which happened to be a photograph of Hemingway recuperating from his injuries, and he was smiling so brightly that it was impossible to connect him with the writer who committed suicide.
"What are you looking at?" A crisp and pleasant voice like a silver bell came from behind him, and Liu Ye looked back to see that it was a girl in a yellow dress, walking and jumping step by step, very lively.
"......" Liu Ye opened his mouth, he seemed to know the girl's name, but he couldn't say the words when he came to his mouth.
"Well, why don't you speak?" the girl sat down beside him, and a faint scent of jasmine filled the air.
Liu Ye felt a little weird, this incident seemed to have happened, but in his vague impression, the person who said this sentence did not seem to be the lively girl in front of him.
Twilight gradually fell, the silence belonging to the night had begun, Liu Ye and the girl in the yellow dress sat quietly on the chair blowing the cool evening breeze, enjoying the burgundy sunset together.
After a while, the moon hung in the sky, and in the cold moonlight, there seemed to be a faint swaying flower.
Liu Ye's pupils shrank, and with the moonlight on the ground as the boundary, this world was suddenly divided into two completely different halves!
To his left, there is a quiet and comfortable campus, the sound of cicadas can be heard from the playground in the distance, and the girl in the yellow dress with the fragrance of jasmine is stepping on the small puddle formed by the rain step by step, making a crisp "pop, pop" sound.
On the other side, there is an endless sea of fire, and the monstrous waves of flames soar into the sky, as if they want to tear the sky apart.
The bench he was sitting on was just on the dividing line, the moonlight shone on his face, and in his left eye the shadows of the three demons of man, cow, and sheep, and in his right eye was a swaying blue flower.
"Which side will you choose?" the girl's crisp voice sounded.
"If I had to choose, it would be the quiet campus. Liu Ye smiled tiredly, he stretched out his hand to cover the moonlight, and the blue flower in his right eye disappeared for a moment, "But reality is very cruel, I must choose the truth of pain." β
"Is that really the case?"
"It's really like this, people always have to give up a lot of things in this life. β
"Including me?"
"Yes, including you. β
Liu Ye's palm gradually glowed with an ice-blue shimmer, and the three demonic phantoms in his left eye gradually faded away, replaced by blue flowers.
"It's not your power!" The expression of the girl in the yellow dress in front of her suddenly became distorted, and her voice became rough, "This doesn't belong to you!"
"It's not my own power, I know. Liu Ye clenched his fists and slowly closed his eyes, "Agares, if I rely only on myself, I will lose this time, but I am never alone." β
A warm spring-like energy burst from his brain and flowed through his body in the blink of an eye.
When his back was less than ten centimeters away from the magma and was about to fall into the boiling sea of fire, Liu Ye suddenly opened his eyes, and what was reflected in his eyes was a gently swaying blue flower.
At this moment, Liu Ye finally understood the meaning of the words written on the last page of "A Thousand Illusions of Glass" by the girl who had the same appearance as Shilan.
"I haven't been able to understand why after analyzing this blue pattern, it turned out to be a dark red magic array, so I wondered, could it be that I chose the wrong method?"
"When "A Thousand Illusions of Glass" was completed, I briefly saw the future, I saw you, and I also saw "Snow Song" in your hand. It dawned on me that it wasn't me who should answer this question, but you. β
"I see...... Deadwood Staff appeared in Liu Ye's hand, and he muttered to himself, "Ice and Snow Array, Phantom Array, is it just a part of it......"
He had a conjecture about the nature of magic, but it needed more evidence to prove it.
His body began to slowly rise, flying to the level of Agares.
Agareth couldn't help but take half a step back, his expression gradually becoming hideous.
"Drink!" With a coquettish shout, the flame barrier that filled the sky was torn open by a turquoise blue light, and Shi Lan held a drop-shaped spar in her hand and landed beside Liu Ye, "You! are you okay?"
"Shilan ......"
"I'm here. β
"Thank you. β
"Huh?"
"Haha......" Liu Ye chuckled, "Agares, you shouldn't have listened to that guy named Barr and come here in person." β
"You ......" Agareth felt a wave of fear inexplicably, it stands to reason that even if he didn't rely on other techniques, the quality and quantity of his magic power alone would be enough to crush the two milky imps in front of him, but he didn't seem to have the courage to raise his wand again.
The blue flower in the boy's eyes swayed softly, and he felt a palpitation, as if he had faced the illusion of a demon for the first time in the basement of his home more than two hundred years ago, the coldness, the indifference without emotion, and the haughty contempt.
"I heard you like to play with fire?"
An ice crystal sword pierced Agares's chest, stringing him with the blue flame chalice behind him, like a sugar gourd.
"I heard that you don't care about the lives of ordinary people?"
The wound on his chest spread like countless dark red spider webs.
"You think ordinary people who don't know magic are rubbish?"
Agareth held the blade of his sword in both hands, blood spilling from the corners of his mouth.
"Since you call yourself a demon, then I will temporarily represent the gods. Liu Ye firmly grasped the hilt of the sword, "Here, pronounce your death." β
"Thornβ" He jerked out his sword, slashing it down under the gaze of Agares' wide eyes.
Colorful blades of light propel Agareth across the sea to the far end of the horizon, turning into a cloud of rising mushrooms.
"This ...... This ......" Shi Lan was dumbfounded, Liu Ye was so strong?
Even those famous executive sword wielders...... There aren't many who can hit this level of attack, right......
After slashing out this sword, Liu Ye's eyes were dark, his legs were weak, he fainted, and fell straight to the sea below.
Shi Lan hugged him in time, and after glancing at the firelight and monstrous waves that were brighter than the sun in the distance, she left this sea area with Liu Ye.
I'm going to trouble the doctor again...... Shi Lan looked at him covered in injuries and thought so.
A few kilometers away, in the very center of the explosion, the flames were gradually extinguished, and Agareth stepped out, the black crow on his shoulder vanished, and the chalice, which burned with dark blue flames, became tattered, with a large hole in the middle, floating crookedly at his side.
More than two hundred years of accumulation have made him still survive in this incredible sword, although he looks a little embarrassed, but in fact it is not a big problem, as long as he cultivates for a period of time, he can return to his peak state.
Suddenly, he froze.
A figure with long pale blond hair hung silently above the rough water, its bare feet like jade, staring at him indifferently with gray-white eyes.
"It's you......" Agareth licked his bloodied lips.
"You see something you shouldn't see. Watson closed his eyes, a rusty wand slowly emerging from his hand, "Therefore, it is necessary for me to give you a small punishment to warn Baal not to repeat your mistakes." β
"Something you shouldn't see...... "Agareth glanced behind him and pulled out the fiery red wand from the dark blue flame of the Holy Grail, "I see, is this your plan......"
A golden light flashed, and the heavens and the earth were eclipsed.
"Uh...... Forehead...... Forehead......" Agareth's eyes widened as he looked at his trembling hands, his eyes full of disbelief, and his wand fell into the azure waters below, shattering into a cloud of red dust.
"Agares, you're just an inconsequential little character. Watson's figure faded, and his cold voice echoed in the swaying sea breeze, "However, if this can warn the Supreme Four Pillars not to act rashly, then it will also make some sense." β
Agareth's body, starting from his feet, turned into ashes inch by inch, and was swept up by a wave and scattered on the endless sea.
