Chapter 388: The Darkest Time

It was a human-looking, or mutant ogre.

The huge trunk had long since decayed, and viscous pus was oozing from under the cracked epidermis, and the leaves had long since withered, leaving only the broken trunk and rotten branches.

The trunks on both sides of the trees grew rotten wood that resembled "limbs", but they could not support the huge body of the tree that was still bleeding pus.

Under the canopy, near its head, there were three tattered, pitch-black hollows, as if they had been forcibly smashed out, turning into its "eyes" and "mouth".

If you ignore those strange or weird parts, the evil god in front of you is no different from the cloud canopy tree in the settlement of the Morning Star Forest when the little wizard was in the Ancient Wood Forest.

Twisted, terrifying, hideous, disgusting, terrifying... This is the most intuitive feeling of a small wizard facing the evil god.

It's not that she hasn't faced the evil god, Asriel at Ebolden, the Centaur Grand Chief of the Great Green Sea......

But it was the first time to fight alone, facing an evil god alone.

Only by facing it in person can she feel the pressure, the fear, and how small she is.

Loren... That big liar, just enduring such fear, can he still pretend to be calm to face these terrifying things?

The little wizard in a trance thought so.

With the sound of the earth shaking, the huge and bloated evil god had crawled out of the pit in the ground, and the rotten torso burst out of gray-blue pus, followed by countless tentacles, coming towards the two of them.

"Run!"

Vera, the night watchman who woke up, was full of excitement, and hugged the little wizard who didn't react and jumped deeply.

"Boom!"

In the shadows, huge tentacles fell to the ground with a loud bang, smashing the ruins of the street downward, and the cracked ground was clearly about to collapse.

But that's not all... The moment the tentacle landed, Vera, who was desperately lying on the ground, had already seen its huge "palm" falling from the sky with the corner of her eye, if that tree trunk-like thing could really be called a hand!

"Boom!"

In the huge smoke and dust, Vera, who was holding Ain, didn't hesitate to run in the direction or anything, she just wanted to get better and better away from this monster!

But the loud noise behind them showed no sign of stopping, and with the crushed bricks and rubble one after another, the huge palms swept towards them like chariots.

Running wild, running for a life... Vera's mind was already blank when she was holding Ain, and her body was completely unresponsive except for her legs that could move.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The loud noise behind her was still approaching, and it was getting closer, and even by listening to the sound, she could feel the distance between the thing and herself shrinking rapidly, and it was only a matter of time before she was overtaken.

At this moment, a huge pit blocked her way, and the red-haired girl who was panicked almost fell into the pit with herself and Ain.

There is no escape!

I'm going to die, I'm going to die in this hellish place without saying a word... Desperate red-haired teenage girl with tears running down her eyes.

A loud noise was approaching behind her, and Vera couldn't help but close her eyes.

At that moment, a faint voice sounded in her ears.

"At the moment... It's the time of brightness!"

"Boom !!!"

The blinding light converged into a tangible fireball, and the claws that rang out in a roaring explosion.

A terrible roar echoed for a long time under the swirling night sky.

"Ain?!"

"I'm fine. ”

The weak, little wizard had a bloodless face and gasped under his breath.

The evil god whose palms were set on fire roared and roared, the tentacles sticking out of his torso whipped wildly, and the surrounding streets and ruins continued to hear exclamations and screams.

But these screams only made the evil god more excited, ravaging and whipping frantically, unleashing its tyranny.

Soon, the screams died down and disappeared.

"We've got to stop it. ”

Looking at the evil god ravaged among the ruins, the pale-faced Ain said softly, his blue eyes staring at the huge figure:

"Even if... Even if it's just to attract its attention, at least it can make more people... People can escape......"

"Are you sure there are still living people around?!"

Gritting her teeth, Vera was so desperate that she was about to collapse: "What to do?"

I'm scared to the extreme, I'm scared to the extreme, and I even feel like I'm so small that I'm so small... But the Night's Watch has not forgotten why he came.

Even if you can only save one person, even if you just win a glimmer of life for them, it is a thousand times, ten thousand times better than watching from the rear of safety.

After all, isn't it because I hate Edward's non-caring attitude that I stubbornly run to this place to die?

"That evil god... Maybe it's my delusion... It seems to be afraid of fire. ”

Forcibly enduring the tingling and dizziness, the little wizard who had already reached the limit said calmly: "Maybe it's not enough to defeat it, but at least you can use this to attract its attention!"

Every evil god who comes into the world needs some kind of support;

It can be a myth, a legend, some kind of real existence or just a story that people pass on by word of mouth, a manifestation of some kind of extreme emotion... But in any case, they will maintain their existence in some form.

The Four Evil Gods of the North, Asriel... And the one in front of you, it's all the same.

But once there is an actual dependence and existence, there must be a corresponding manifestation, just like the blood sacrifice of Asriel of Ebolden, which is strong and at the same time exposes its weakness.

They may be really difficult to be truly erased, but at least when they come into the world, there must be flaws, and they are not impossible to defeat!

Of course, the little wizard also knows that it is impossible to defeat an evil god in his current state, so just try to attract the other person as much as possible and focus on himself.

At least buy a little more time, even if it's just your own fantasy, just a little longer, so that the remaining survivors can see that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it......

"Vera, can you continue to fight?"

"Needless to say!"

The red-haired girl who was in a trance for a short time came back to her senses, gritted her teeth and scolded and complained: "I have a headache to death, my arm hurts as if it is about to be broken, my legs and feet have no strength, and my back seems to have been injured just now......"

"Try to surprise from the front, I'll cover you. ”

"Got it!"

The moment the words fell, Vera, who was wielding the blade of the sword, did not hesitate and sprinted straight in the direction of the evil god!

Don't dodge or dodge, facing the tentacles that are rushing towards you in the sky, just rush straight towards the target!

The black shadows in the air and the roar that shook the air didn't care!

"Boom!"

The gray-blue lightning collided with the tentacles of the evil god in the air, and the detonating air wave knocked Vera into the air as if she was afraid of mosquitoes and flies.

The messy and tyrannical air currents continued to whistle in her ears, and Vera, whose bones were about to be pinched off all over her body, fell freely, gritting her teeth and desperately trying to maintain her balance so that she would not fall to pieces.

The howling wind swept her body, allowing the red-haired girl to land smoothly.

This is... Ain?

Vera, the night watchman who was moved, did not look back, but continued to sprint forward, hundreds of them no longer from the front, but from the left and right, and even the main target was not herself, but the small wizard behind her.

If you want to kill them, you don't have to go to such trouble, you just need to catch and kill them one by one.

So it's clear that this angry god is no longer satisfied with killing them, and wants to capture them alive!

This wisdom alone has far surpassed the shell of an evil god who has no reason to speak of... And the biggest difference is that the enemy in front of them is likely to see through their plans.

It's impossible to win... It's not that Vera doesn't have confidence in the little wizard, it's that she doesn't have confidence in herself, and in her current state, even if she faints and faints in the next second, Vera won't have any accidents.

And if she falls, the little wizard who is alone doesn't even have the last person to cover her, and she even has to be distracted to protect herself from being killed... If you want to defeat an evil god in its heyday, it is simply difficult to reach the sky.

So Holy Cross... Don't protect me from victory, just let me hold on for a little longer, just hold on for a little longer, until I get the big guy's attention completely, and then I won't blame you anymore no matter what happens!

Vera, who was running wildly in the darkness, gritted her teeth, clenched the Mithril short sword in her hand and continuously slashed the small tentacles that attacked, approaching the evil god as fast as possible, and at the same time, gray-blue runes appeared under the corners of her eyes.

High-level spells, beyond perception!

"Bang, bang, bang, bang......"

The thick tentacles and gray-blue thunder, the roar of the red-haired girl who kept running wildly, the bursting blood mist and the concussive qi waves, passed her again and again, and the slightest touch was enough to tear her to pieces!

"Boom!"

The huge tentacles that had been severed by the thunder turned into countless pieces of flesh, smashed from the air, and rolled up puffs of smoke and dust in the streets and rubble;

The powerless giant evil god could only roar in place, stretching out more tentacles from the rotten torso and attacking in the direction of the little wizard.

"Everything has a time... This is the time of withering. ”

The little wizard who whispered softly, barely supported by his wand to keep it from falling, gray-blue runes gradually appeared on his pale cheeks.

This rune from Ashamai, which alleviates the corrosion of the Void's power on the body, sustains Ain from falling due to exhaustion.

As the wand was raised, the approaching tentacles rotted and collapsed one by one, until they dissipated into flying smoke and ashes, dissipating into the night sky.

Hold on, hold on for a little longer, just a little longer......

Gritting his teeth, he knew that his energy had been exhausted, and he raised his wand again.

"Boom !!!"

Thunder descended from the sky and ignited the tentacles that filled the sky with mist!

Burning blood and pus mixed with rotten flesh torn to shreds, like a golden rain pouring down from the sky, illuminating the dark and bleak night.

The god roared in pain, and the ignited tentacles mixed with the "withering hour" from the little wizard ran down the rotting tentacles into its body.

"Poof!"

The pale-faced Ai Yin finally couldn't hold it anymore, and the moment he stumbled to the ground, his eyes darkened, and the whole world fell into endless darkness.

"Vera!"

"Ahh!!!h

The red-haired girl with scarlet eyes and screaming rushed straight out of the flames, sprinting towards the huge figure along the fallen arm of the evil god.

Gray-blue beams of light followed the figure, blooming like meteors under the night sky.

This was the first time Vera had used the power of the Void at such a cost, even in this land that had been corrupted by the Void, even if it was her already scarred body, even if she didn't think she could control this power, the spiritual hall had long since run out......

The sword that gushed out still responded to her.

"Give me... Go, die, ahhh!!!h

Clang!

With a fierce impact, the sword light pierced through the position of the evil god's eyes, completely nailed into it.

The evil god, who was screaming in pain, shook his huge body even more desperately, waving his tentacles angrily.

Only this time it no longer had any targets, but instead recklessly slammed the streets around it that were already empty, venting its powerless rage.

"Boom!"

The cracked, sunken ground finally collapsed under the weight of the burden, and the huge body of the evil god sank into the ground, and the red-haired girl who was nailed to the torso flew out.

With an exclamation, Vera rolled on the ground in embarrassment, slumped in a pool of dust and blood.

She opened her eyes weakly, and the little wizard, who had also fallen unconscious, lay not far from her.

In a trance, the red-haired girl who struggled to get up twisted her body desperately and approached the unconscious Ain.

At that moment, a shadow descended from above, blocking her vision, causing her to instinctively stop.

In a trance, Vera looked up in a daze, and the huge figure of the evil god crushed them from above.

........................

"Boom!"

With a muffled thud, he was kicked to the ground covered in blood and rolled down the stairs like a tattered sandbag.

Exhausted and collapsed in the blood, the gray-eyed boy still struggled to raise his head desperately, staring at the elf girl's face, powerless to fight back.

Those cheeks full of smiles, revenge and happiness.

"Alas... Is this your limit, little Lusen?" With a curious baby-like expression, the elf girl poked her little head, "It's only been a quarter of an hour... Well, how to say it ... It is... Sheila, I'm a little disappointed. ”

"I thought that no matter how bad you were, at least you could hurt people a little bit, but as a result... Alas, what a disappointment, what a disappointment. ”

Shaking her head and sighing, Sheila had a disappointed expression, as if she had taken advantage of the excitement to watch a play she liked, but in the end she returned disappointed.

In the next second, the elf girl waved her little hand.

The sound of iron boots sounded again.

Knock knock!

Knock knock!

Knock knock knock......
