I can't open my eyes, I can't even form thoughts,

The spear that threw the silver meteor one last time drained him of all his strength, his breathing was getting weak, and his hands and feet were slowly cold,

Even the load pain in his body that made him want to shout until his throat was hoarse and shouted until he went crazy, was gradually disappearing.

Red 'saliva' trickled down from his mouth, and only a godless slit remained in his vision.

From the departure of the scene to the fall of the arrival scene, the journey back to the origin tried my best to survive the crisis again and again.

Now that the vast darkness beyond imagination is about to descend on the center of London,

At this moment, Fang Ran was like ashes that had been burned out.

Click-

The ground collapsed out of the edge of the round crater, and near the intersection of the Financial City, a group of numbered monsters surrounded it because of the blow just now, and they didn't dare to approach it for the time being.

Fierce battles are being fought all over the vast city of London, and at this moment when the final heavy music is played in the darkness, only Fang Ran is extremely quiet here,

Both physical and mental overwhelmed, his consciousness was constantly rising and falling in the chaos but could not converge.

"Fang Ran !!"

Until this anxious shout became the last force to gather consciousness, and I could remember who I was and what level of self-awareness, blurring to the extreme of the gap vision,

Fang Ran was in a dreamlike trance and saw someone running towards him.

The panting of running with all his strength was violent, and the feeling of burning his throat made the pale young man jump off the pit despite the sharp gravel, and he couldn't keep his balance at all when he slid hard, and he trembled and got up after falling badly, and staggered towards Fang Ran.

Kerry... Governess....

Just like a machine, it only reacts instinctively to what it is aware of, and Fang Ran watched Krim appear in front of him at this time, without questioning why he was here.

"Fang Ran! Fang Ran? Can you hear me!? ”

The handsome pale face gasped and messy, and Krim shouted at the fallen Fang Ran at a loss, scrambling to determine his condition,

Then I couldn't believe his pulse breathing, it was already unbelievably weak!

The aftermath of the A-class battle roared in the dark and heavy air, and the whole of London turned into the final moment of the battlefield,

Slightly resolute, the pale figure picked up the black-haired young man's hand and put it on his shoulder, and swayed step by step towards the outside of the round pit.

"Fang Ran, let's go... I'll take you to the hospital, I'll take you to the hospital..."

Using all his strength to firmly stabilize Fang Ran's body, Kerim held back the pain and looked ahead, his eyes widened helplessly, as if grasping a life-saving straw, and he said to himself in fear:

"I know the best doctors in all of Europe, they will be able to cure you, you will be fine, I will not let you die, I will not ...."

In the rapid breathing, his voice was slightly raised, and his tone accelerated, as if he wanted to believe that he could also believe this kind of words, believing that in this case, he could take Fang Ran to the hospital next and let him be safe.

And then in the moment when I felt the silence of the youth on my shoulder,

The deceitful words collapsed, and the guilt and apology turned into tears, which made him bow his head in a choked voice.

"Yes... I'm sorry...."

Right.... Rise?

Thinking was recovering very slowly, and the weight of the whole person was pressed on Krim, Fang Ran hung his head and thought about why he said this to himself, feeling his painful choking at the moment.

"I'm sorry.... I do not know... I didn't know it would turn out like this...."

The roar of battle between the participants came from all over the city, and the pale and feeble young man, carrying the black-haired figure that had fallen from the overdraft, dragged his heavy steps and struggled forward step by step, constantly choking and repeating the apology,

Then, bam.

With tears blurring his vision, he hit the boundary wall of the round pit, and his barely enough steps could no longer support the weight of the two, and he fell back to the ground again.

The muscles were almost exhausted, struggling to get up, and Krim looked at the wall in front of him in a daze of breath,

The ground caved down into a round pit, and the slope of the broken street was very large and almost vertical, although it was only about two meters, but,

At this height,

He couldn't go up with Fang Ran.

For everyone else in the scene now, it was about the height of a step, and it became an insurmountable barrier for Klim at this moment.

And what's worse,

It seems that he found out that he was in contact with Fang and then was safe, and the numbered monsters nearby who were shocked by the blow just now,

It's all starting to rush here!

In the dark and surging darkness of London, the figure who was stronger than anyone else in the impression had fallen beside him, facing the hordes of numbered monsters coming,

Kerim turned his head and stared at the inner wall of the pit with a hollow look, feeling hopeless for the first time.

The gap between ordinary people and participants is often not those great powers that go to heaven and earth, but this kind of small but absolutely impossible to cross the 'steps'.

Twenty-year-old Harvard Ph.D., the youngest winner of the highest award, a rising star in the field of European scientific research, an eternal prodigy and genius in the school...

What's the use of all this!?

Thinking of the aura on his body in the eyes of the outside world, his fingers grabbed the ground and slowly grasped it, and in the weakness and bitterness, Kerim clenched his teeth and trembled with sour tears.

Not only is my friend in a desperate situation, but I don't even have the strength to take him up from here...

A group of numbered monsters jumped out of the pit and rushed towards them, among which the most powerful one in the lead was even the top 40 of the B rank, which was a situation that even ordinary participants could not resist, and it was a desperate situation that ordinary people could not even face.

"For... What...."

I didn't even have the strength to give up on myself and shout questions, only the poor and humble choked and hoarse, and all the sadness that flowed from my eyes in pain.

I can't be a participant...

And fell beside him, unable to make a sound or move, Fang Ran blurred his godless vision, and didn't understand why he felt extremely sad just looking at this scene,

Krim?

Instinctively, I wanted to reach out and pat him on the shoulder, but I trembled my fingers, and the dark sea of strange things came rushing in despair.

And then at this moment when the two of them were about to be completely submerged,

A blood-colored tornado appears out of thin air!

The red storm under the dark sky, the powerful tearing power directly emptied the vicinity, and the powerful aura of the A-class shocked the other surviving numbered monsters to scatter and flee,

Descending from mid-air, with bright red wings spread, it was the blood clan with red eyes on a pale and handsome face!

Suddenly rescued in a desperate situation, Kerim watched his appearance with tears in his eyes, and fell to the ground, Fang Ran instinctively mobilized his only remaining thoughts,

This breath is...

"I'm still wondering what the mark left on you is messing around, is that what you do in such a boring place?"

Suspended proudly and coldly above the round pit, Femiller's eyes ignored Krim's embarrassed appearance, and then turned his red eyes to look at Fang Ran who fell to the ground, frowning and saying contemptuously:

"It's ridiculously stupid to fall because you can't bear the strength."

Thinking about the truth about the power that injured me that night in Paris, it turned out to be this kind of false thing that can only appear by relying on overdraft, and cannot be called 'powerful' at all,

Femille felt disappointed from the bottom of his heart, and then the blood-red light flickered and converged into a fatal final blow!

"Since it's a reckless waste, let's just die for it."

But at the moment when he raised his hand to aim at Fang Ran,

Out of nowhere, Kerim staggered up with his hands and feet, rushed to Fang Ran and spread his hands, and shouted desperately in the violent heaving of his chest!

"Wait a minute!!"

The moment he saw him act like this, Femille's already indifferent red eyes narrowed slightly, and he slowly condensed and asked in a more cold voice:

"What are you doing?"

Bearing his aura, Krim lowered his head and teeth were trembling, but he still didn't move his steps, and his voice trembled faintly and lightly.

"Don't kill him..."

"Do you know what you're talking about now?"

Although the words were calm and did not fluctuate, seeing that he dared to resist so much in front of him, in Femille's voice word by word, the cold danger was about to condense and overflow!

"Don't... Don't kill him...."

The words trembled and repeated again, and Kerim raised his eyes to look at him, his lips fluttering behind him, breathing weakly.

At this moment, he heard his humble plea in the ups and downs of his breath.

"Please, father."

Father... Kiss....?

The moment he heard this name, Fang Ran's gap-like vision widened slightly,

As he travels to Rome, the image of Krim smiling gently at himself comes to mind, and he suddenly remembers that his answer at that time is actually very strange.

-'Well, okay, I'll do my best when I have to'-

Are you talking about that?

Suspended under the dark sky, Femille looked indifferently at the figure with his arms outstretched, looking at this woman who had been born with a purpose,

His son.

"From the day I accidentally discovered you, I gave you the top resources and opportunities in the world,"

The dangerous cold voice suddenly returned to calm, and Femill dispersed the blood light gathered in his hand and spoke quietly, and Krim, who heard him say this, trembled slightly in shame and did not speak.

"I will spare no effort to train you, find you the best teachers, send you to the best schools, and even introduce you to students who become mentors."

With a wave of his hand, he summoned all the power left behind in him, and a storage spatial device floated from Krim's body, following the blood to the air where Femiller was.

"But don't say respond to my expectations, so many years have passed,"

Looking at the super genius recognized by the outside world, but as if watching a failure, Femiller held the space device, and then crushed it, and his words were cold!

"You can't even set foot in the door of the night world."

The machinery was destroyed, the space collapsed, and all the contained items in the device flickered, floating around Femille, the most conspicuous of which,

It's the experimental device that is more than three meters long, and the cube is like a 'heart'!

"I thought that this time you developed a dark energy engine, which would be somewhat useful in these aspects, but it turned out.... Still wasting time on such childish and boring things,"

Confirming the completion of the engine, Femiller looked at the other things in the space installation, the detailed mechanical model of the entity that floated around him,

"It's still like this in front of me."

The blood flashed, and in the trembling of Krim's eyes, once again ruthlessly crushed the hard work of his countless nights into scrap metal, and Femiller lost his coldness and anger,

just looked at his son indifferently with the same garbage eyes that had nothing to do with him,

"You, let me down so much."

Then grab the last intact model and throw it straight into Krim's face from mid-air!

The blow was almost murderous under the power of the A-class participant, and the model of more than half a meter smashed into the face, and the impact force directly caused Krim to fall on his back.

The corners of the mouth and face are cracked, and the blood, salty, severe pain and fainting sensation rush directly to my mind!

And fell to the ground in a blurred vision, and saw the 'experimental device' he had seen when he infiltrated the Paris Ball reappeared,

-‘... This is the main experiment I've been in charge of for the last few years... Use that device to speed up the energy...'-

-‘... It's finally close to completion... I've achieved a lot of results...'-

At the mentor base, where he had a happy chat that night, he slowly remembered what Kerim had said, the model of the mechanical dragon fell to the ground, and there was a faint golden light in the pupil of Fang Ran's half-open right eye.

Let him see at this moment, the other half of the Dark Colosseum opposite the Dark Energy Crystal 'introduced'.

[It can carry energy and evacuate the residue of the material state obtained from the crystallization of the dark world]

‘... The remaining material after I have removed the original energy of the experimental material...'

‘... The experiments did not produce much of this new material... Thinking of making something memorable out of it...'

Main experiment, acceleration, energy extraction, by-products,

Engines, key people,

The two are connected, following the nodes and materials, and from Francis's memory, the last doubt of this experiment has finally been revealed!

In the slow reaction of consciousness, Fang Ran finally understood why that 'scale' could attract that small black shadow, and why the association wanted to catch them no matter what.

It's just that he didn't think of that answer,

That 'key person' turned out to be by his side all the time.

And the engine was successfully recovered, and there was only contempt on his pale and cold face, and under the dark sky, Femiller suddenly opened his bright red wings, directly shattering the connection at the edge of the pit,

Watching the ground collapse and fall deeper into the depths, he didn't care about his son's life or death at all, and before turning to leave, he aimed at Fang Ran's falling figure,

Leave no stone unspared, and shoot out a blood-colored red light!
