The road in the canyon was much smoother than Shore had previously expected, and although it was still a bit rough in places, it was generally easy.

But that didn't make Shore feel much easier, as they made their way through the road at the bottom of the canyon, which was completely unobservable at the top of the canyon, a natural ambush.

Raven was at the front of the team as a pathfinder, Ye Xiang was at the back of the team to guard the rearguard, and Shore was in the middle of the team, and he raised his head from time to time to observe the situation on the left and right tops of the canyon.

"After walking for so long, there doesn't seem to be any sign of the enemy, Captain. Raven turned to Shore and said.

"That's true. "But don't let your guard down now, the enemy is likely to be hiding in the vicinity." ”

"It's impossible for us to stop now. Ye Xiang glanced up at the top of the canyon and said, "Even if this is a trap, we can only move forward." ”

"That's right. Raven tugged at the strap of the backpack behind him, "Then let's go." ”

"Wait a minute!" Shore shouted after a sudden stop.

"What's wrong?" Ye Xiang dialed out the "dawn" behind him in an instant, "Is there any hostility?" ”

"It's not. Shore reached into his inside pocket and pulled out the round object that Aaron had given him earlier.

At this time, the round object was flashing with red light, and the original pattern of the surface quickly began to change, but in just a few seconds, its surface was completely different from the original.

"It's hot!" Shore frowned, the object in his hand was emitting heat, and at the same time the red light quickly dissipated, leaving only a flickering red dot and a static red dot remaining on the surface of the object.

"It's positioning. Ye Xiang blurted out, "The red dot that flashes now must have located the location of the Hell Gate switch." ”

"If that's the case, it's easy to do. Raven stepped forward and said, "This static red dot should represent us, and now the map is in our hands." ”

"All thanks to Gabriel. Shore looked at the object in his hand and said, "Without his help, I'm afraid we would have had a lot of trouble doing anything now." ”

Gabriel. Ye Xiang couldn't help but recall the scene when Gabriel left, he said that he would definitely come back, and Ye Xiang also firmly believed this, because they could already be said to be comrades-in-arms who shared life and death.

"In that case, let's follow the markers on the map. Xiao Er looked at Ye Xiang and Raven and said, "Let's go, everyone!"

The trio walked quickly, and several dark shadows followed them at the top of the canyon at great speed.

"Found them, Mistress Aligus. "Make Moslan report to Aligus.

"Good. A smile finally appeared on Aligus' face, "Where are they going?" ”

"Here it is. Srant held out his finger and pointed to a spot on the map in front of him.

"Is it here?" Aligus smiled, "then they'll be in that place, and that will be their graveyard." ”

"I see. Slant laughed too, "It's a place of death, and it's a death for them to venture into it." ”

"Pass the order, Slanter. "The legion turns to the Prison Fortress, take a short approach, we must get there before the humans get there." ”

"The subordinates obeyed. Slant immediately turned to leave, and Aligus sneered as he looked at the road in the canyon beneath his feet.

"Mankind, the day of your destruction has come. "For the sake of hell, I, Aligus, will make you understand the horrors of hell." ”

In the depths of Abaddon's palace, Kane stood in front of the door of a room, his face looking very agitated.

"No matter how anxious you are, it's useless. Mephistopheles' voice came from behind Kane, "It's all up to him, so no matter how anxious you are, you can't change anything." ”

"Of course I do. Kane shouted, "But would locking him in this cell change anything?"

"This cell is called the Dark Prison, and the vengeful souls roam it, and the dark aura is everywhere, and only then can he erase the last part of his heart that is Rex. ”

Mephistopheles took out the key and opened the door, and in the dimly lit room, Rex sat quietly in a chair with his head bowed.

Kane still can't forget what Rex did, and that scene is all etched into his memory.

At that time, Kane followed Mephistopheles to a room, and Chikusa Wakaba sat in a chair just like Rex now, and didn't raise her head until she heard footsteps.

"Do what you're supposed to do. Mephistopheles said to Rex, "It's time to leave your last human identity behind and fight as a half-body with my blood on it." ”

Mephistopheles handed Rex a dagger, and Kane instantly understood what Rex was going to do next: he was going to kill his lover with his own hands.

"Do it, my half. Mephistopheles urged, "Kill her, forsake the last thing you have as humanity, and you can become one of us." ”

Rex raised his dagger, but Wakaba just looked at him calmly, her eyes filled with sadness, but he didn't do anything in the face of what was about to happen, not even a word.

Rex looked at Wakaba's eyes, the dagger in his hand hovering abruptly in midair, his brows furrowed, as if he was fighting fiercely in his heart.

"What are you doing?" Mephistopheles said, looking at Rex, "now you should do what you have to do, do it, and break with your past once and for all." ”

"It's alright, Rex. "I'm sure you'll make a choice that follows your heart's content, and whatever it turns out, I won't blame you." ”

"Me. Rex looked at Wakaba in front of him with a look of wanting to say something, and for a moment Kane seemed to see the original Rex again.

Memories of being with Wakaba kept coming back to Rex's mind, his expression distorted with pain, and a voice kept ringing in his ears.

"You're still human after all. "No matter how much you want to deny it, how much you want to erase this fact completely, you can't change it." ”

What does that mean? Rex's heart was beating violently, did I know that there were still human feelings? I couldn't do it, I couldn't end the life of the woman in front of me, what was this heartache?

"Do it!" Mephistopheles finally couldn't help but shout, "What the hell is there to hesitate about, what you should do now is kill this woman in front of you!"

"No!" Rex turned around sharply and stabbed the dagger at Mephistopheles, who subconsciously used to resist his hand and was instantly pierced by the dagger, and in an instant the blood flowed profusely.

"You!" Mephistopheles looked stunned, then immediately raised his foot and kicked Rex to the ground, he could not have imagined that this would be the case.

"What am I doing?" Rex also looked at his hand with a look of disbelief, "I should have killed her, why, why can't I do it!?"

Rex, have you not given up your human identity after all? Kane has understood everything in his heart, he has been invaded by dark consciousness for so long and for so long, but he still retains his existence as a human being.

"You've lost, Mephistopheles. Wakaba smiled, "You may be able to control his body, but you will never be able to erase the true mind, and the human heart will not be defeated by you so easily, so you are doomed!"

"Shut up!" Mephistopheles' wound on his hand healed quickly, "that man is a being who flows the same blood as me, and he will eventually die in the dark, which is his fate from which he can never escape." ”

"Then start a war towards fate!" Wakaba looked directly at Mephistopheles without fear, "We humans, even if we know that we are bound by a sad fate, we have to try to break the shackles of this fate, I'm afraid you will never be able to understand, right?"

"He's not human!"

"No, he is. Wakaba said very calmly, "Even though he has demonic blood in his body, he is still a human being, and this is a fact that you can never deny." ”

"I'll let you see the real him. Mephistopheles said in a vicious tone, "Come on, put this man in a dark prison for me." ”

"Yes!" the two demon guards immediately entered the room and dragged Rex's already limp body out, and Mephistopheles left in a rage.

"Sorry to make you see the joke. Mephistopheles said to Kane, who was following him, "I didn't expect that after so long, his human part would still have such a powerful influence, I miscalculated." ”

"I never expected that. Kane replied, "It's unbelievable that he still retains his consciousness as a human being." ”

"Humans are really interesting creatures. Mephistopheles suddenly stopped and looked at Kane with a grim gaze.

"Since Rex still retains the consciousness of being a human under that circumstances, what kind of thoughts do you have that I don't know about you, who are already human?"

"You're doubting me. Kane immediately stopped.

"I had to have such doubts. Mephistopheles said, "What are you thinking about now as a human being?"

"I have sworn allegiance to Hell, and even then you still doubt me, and what I have done does not prove my loyalty? ”

"Maybe I'm thinking too much. Mephistopheles changed her smile, "I've seen your loyalty to Hell, and I suspect you're wrong with me." ”

"And what are you going to do with Rex next?"

"He's going to go where he's supposed to be. Mephistopheles said, "When his heart is finally dark, I will naturally release him." ”

And now that Kane saw Rex, he looked haggard, and some guards said that he let out a cry of pain every night.

"Rex?" Kane asked tentatively, but he didn't get any answer.

Rex lowered his head, his eyes open but completely colorless, completely empty, as if he had lost his soul, leaving only a completely unresponsive shell.

"It seems to be working, and his heart is being corrupted by darkness. Mephistopheles said satisfied, "It won't be long before he'll sink into the darkness and find his true side." ”

"Maybe. Kane couldn't bear to look any longer, "So now we should be able to go, right?"

"Of course, this is just a little episode before it's all over. Mephistopheles walked out as Kane followed him, and the door was closed again with a bang.

No one noticed that the moment the door closed, Rex, who had been hanging his head down, slowly raised his head.
