Chapter 52: Awakening
The sun was seeking to rendezvous with the Zhidiei Tu Zhongbei to the Burning Europe. He also took it with him, and finally followed the secret mark left by the female swordsman at the agreed point to find the location of Chloe and Lan Ge.
It's a simple thatched hut full of debris. It's not a very safe place, but it's a little more secluded than a normal residence.
The dim candle flame was lit in the small space. Shine on the ground scattered oil paper, straw paving. Chai He. In the midst of the mess, lies a frail and wheezing teenager.
"Mr. Onisha" The pale Io saw the black-robed young man, his eyebrows and eyes were slightly relieved, but he immediately frowned in pain, and the right half of his body trembled violently.
Chongyang's expression was solemn, and he looked at Io's entire bare right arm, if that could still be called an arm.
The young man's muscular arms were from the elbow joint down, as if they were filled into small snakes, protruding and tangled, and gathered hideously on the palm of his right hand. And completely turned into a terrifying black-red palm. It's two or three laps bigger than it was before. All five fingers were gone, replaced by three bloody blades that looked like they had extended from the bones of the hand.
"Your hands?"
Chongyang squatted down next to the young man and asked softly.
Io smiled bitterly.
"This is the evil swordsman "Soul Thorn" inherited by the family, and my uncle did not hesitate to sacrifice his life and fused it with all his might. With it, I was able to break out of the encirclement of the Red Wolf Army. ”
The boy's tone struggled to remain calm. Remembering the previous tragedy, his eyes quickly turned red.
"I went to inform my uncle as quickly as I could. But it was still too late" Many people were killed in front of us, we had to run "keep running" Uncle was seriously injured by a dwarf, in order to save at least one of me, he gave up his life and performed a forbidden blood sacrifice demon magic to "stab the soul." Pass it on to me
The fragmentary narration outlines fragmented scenes, making people feel sad and hopeless from the bottom of their hearts.
"What is Blood Sacrifice Demon Technique?" Chongyang tilted his head slightly, hoping to get an answer from the female swordsman.
"Legend has it that it is a mysterious evil method that uses the essence blood of living people to increase the power of evil swordsmen in a short period of time. ”
It was the female spy who responded who had been silent until now. Wrapped in a sheet, Lan Ge came out of the shadows, covering his mouth and looking at Io's mutant arm with some disgust, "Although I am also an evil swordsman, it is the first time that I know that there is such a demon sword that combines with the human body through witchcraft.
"Our family has been passed down from generation to generation, and the "soul thorn" ranks thirty-third on the sword spectrum, and the highest level of forbidden law among the supporting instruments passed down from generation to generation is this blood sacrifice demon technique: "The stronger the essence blood of the living sacrificed during the sacrifice, the more it is fused to the human body." The more powerful it is. ”
Io was in tears. Whispered to add. "Uncle is the Sword Sect, and after the sacrifice to the "Soul Thorn, the essence blood of the Soul Thorn is so rich that it can exert a power comparable to that of the Sky Sword Sect", unless I die. Otherwise, "the soul thorn will never be lifted from my arm." ”
"Uncle is dead", everyone is dead, and "I'm the only one with the "Soul Thorn." "I'm the only one" who survived and once again escaped with my life at the expense of others.
The boy was so grief-stricken that he couldn't cry. As women, Chloe and Rango face this scene. There was a look of sympathy and pity in his eyes, but even if he wanted to comfort him, he didn't know what to do
。
Chongyang observes in silence and sees through with his right eye. Confirm this creepy and weird swordsman. It's completely integrated with Io's body, and it's impossible to use healing magic
Leave.
This is not the main problem, the important thing is that this young man has been on the verge of mental collapse after such a major blow.
"My physical condition is very poor, and I still have a fever" should be caused by the side effects of fusing the evil sword to form an arm mutation plus a mental blow. Chongyang didn't know how the evil sword fused with the human body, but the examination of Io's physical condition made him conclude that if he didn't try to cheer him up, it would be difficult for the boy to survive until tomorrow morning.
"Io, your uncle exchanged his life for your life, but he didn't let you stay in the world crying, it's too ugly!"
Chongyang's words pierced the young man's heart at once.
"Now the Evil Sword Alliance has suffered heavy casualties, and the characters who may be slightly stronger have been killed by the Red Wolf Army, and you have inherited your uncle's famous sword and power. It is the responsibility to lead all the survivors. ”
This is a bit arbitrary, but it is likely that this is indeed the case, the leadership of the evil swordsman must be the first target of the Red Wolf Army, and it is very difficult to say how many people have survived now, thinking about the worst side of the situation, maybe there is really only one Sword Sect level (mutation) powerhouse left.
Io stopped crying, and there was a slight color in his eyes.
"It's the men who are strong, and after all the elders are gone, whether you think you have that qualification or not, you have to bear what they have left behind. Chongyang held the boy's mutated right arm, "Use your hands to do what you have to do." ”
"What's the matter?" Io muttered. The sparkle in his eyes gradually became clearer.
"For example, assassinate General Red Wolf, for your uncle. For the others, for all the people who suffered this tragedy, take revenge for this sea of blood!" Chongyang looked at Io
"Red Wolf General" Ai Di repeated word by word.
"Yes, you're going to kill him, for everyone!, so you've got to pull yourself together, you've got to get through this time, and you're going to get through the pain that this family's famous sword has caused you!Survive, Io!"
Chongyang tries to establish a simple and clear goal for the teenager to maximize his survival**.
"I'm going to kill the general, I'm going to kill that guy, I'm going to get revenge, revenge, revenge" Io's eyes became more and more determined, and even slowly became fanatical.
Chongyang repeatedly instilled this goal in Io. Until Io had a violent attack due to the side effects of the evil sword, and he passed out in pain.
Chloe and Rango have been quietly watching.
"I can understand your purpose, but is it really okay for you to inflict this hatred on him?" Chloe asked softly after Io fell asleep.
"I'll bear it with him, and the little red wolf general must die anyway. Chongyang looked
Correct.
The situation has developed to this point, and although he can abandon everything and flee the city with his strength, he can't forget the desperate and helpless expressions of the people in the city.
"If you want to kill that old dog of Lornal, count me in. Lan Ge stepped forward and made his debut, with a resolute determination that was not afraid of death. It was her mission to assassinate the Red Wolf General, and all of her companions died at the hands of the General.
Just: Isn't it arrogant to try to kill the leader of the legion who has more than 10,000 soldiers under the command of the small man who rules the city? Chloe was silent.
"Be prepared. Chongyang looked at the angry beauty spy and only said this.
After that, he returned to the back room of the more cramped hut alone, sat down on the straw bunk, hugged his knees, buried his head deeply, and collected his thoughts.
Fierce battle with the Red Wolf Army before. In addition to the harvest, he also knew something.
Not all famous swords can bring ideas. This time, he killed so many enemies, including the leader of the enemy army, and captured a new famous sword, but without new accumulation, he was able to develop a deep understanding on the basis of his original ideas.
Fate is reasonable, this statement is just a general generalization, in fact, there are thoughts and perceptions at that time, it is difficult to accurately describe in words. Chongyang just suddenly realized. His own actions, and even the operation of this world, conform to a certain law of existence.
It is a special artistic conception that is completely different from the magic master's cultivation of magic, if the magic practice has always been to comprehend the laws of space, then the so-called swordsmanship in this world is to comprehend the laws of time!
That's right. Time, within a specific spatial range, can mean the past, present, and future states of being! Fate is a manifestation of the law of time.
Until the advanced sword sect level, the essential difference between swordsmanship and magic was blurred, but when the volley level reached the realm of breaking the sky, it suddenly became clear. The ideas that Chongyang received meant a kind of law of time in the form of the past, traveling through time and space, overriding the void, penetrating the past, and looking to the future!
Because he grasped the opponent's "little fate", a sword was slashed, even if the opponent had all kinds of means, it was absolutely impossible to dodge, because when this sword was chopped, Chongyang had already penetrated the result of the opponent's being chopped.
This is a different form of world power than using the power of space by magic.
The law of time is the essence of swordsmanship, that is, the inheritance foundation left by god-level mages, and it replaces the space law of the great world to become the orthodoxy of this world. Because of the legacy of the creator, it is far more popular among the people of the mainland than other forms of practice.
This world is not without magic. It's just that because of the rejection of swordsmanship, it has been reduced to a marginal thing that cannot be compared with the status of the big world, and it has even been denounced as demonic magic.
To put it simply, Chongyang is a demon here, and it is likely that he is the only super demon who has cultivated to the advanced realm of the Mystery level. Other witchcraft exist, either with a humble reputation or for a long time
Fall.
It was no accident that he was here, and the appearance of blood sacrifice demonism also proved to some extent that he had a mutated right eye and the subtle connection between him and these worlds, but when it came to the root of the magic system, he had an irreconcilable gap with this world.
Thousands of contradictory questions boil down to one point.
"What the hell do I know," Chongyang asked from the bottom of his heart. Hidden in this question is the real reason for being thrown into this world, as well as a deeper, intriguing truth.
If this were a play, he would now just realize that he was an actor, but he didn't know his role and the script he was supposed to play.
Where is the answer?
Chongyang thought deeply and felt that he had never thought about his life so deeply in his two lives combined. He longs to know the truth, and he is vaguely aware of where the truth lies.
"Step, Holy Mountain
Raise your face, eyes sparkling in the darkness.
The Holy Land of the World Kendo, a long-standing and powerful power, the supreme authority in this world in many aspects. You should hide the answers you need.
My life. My fate, my time, my existence, all the secrets, are there.
