The huge energy rose upwards along the floor opened under his feet, instantly engulfing the space in front of Duan Qing, and Maggie, who was wrapped in that piece of energy, then also maintained the posture of holding a dagger in her hand, drowning in the black air column that rose into the sky. The arm stretched out in the direction of the slightly desperate eyes, Duan Qing finally didn't grab the other party's arm before the woman in black who didn't have time to say anything disappeared, and then put his eyes full of anger on York, who was still laughing wildly: "You——! ”

[The character Maggie Shalaka's fate line is lost, and the impact level is being evaluated-]

[Execution of repair instructions, dispatching an executive to the anomalous block.] 】

"You deliberately broke the black fog maze by me...... Is that to catch Kaisha, York! ”

"Don't call me any York, my real name is Yorker."

As if bathed in black light, the man who called himself Jovolk slowly stood up from the sunken ground, covering the huge wound on his chest while looking at the adventurer whose face had turned iron with a playful look: "How does it feel to know the truth now, poor little one?" ”

"Did you send her into the void?" Quickly processing the system prompts that echoed in his ears just now, Duan Qing secretly gritted his teeth: "Did you ...... in the first place?"

"That's right, that's right!" Jovolk, clutching his chest, laughed: "We have already spied on the connection between you and that woman, and we have also spied on what you are doing under the city, and we are very aware of your discovery with that woman, we have already learned of that prophecy!" ”

"This woman is the perfect gift to come to our door, the perfect sacrifice to fulfill our great dreams!" He opened his hands and showed Duan Qing's bloody chest and heart that had stopped beating under the terrifying wound: "The power she has will be our bait!" It will also be a powerful help for us to realize our plans! ”

"You, why are you still alive?" Bernard, who was standing not far behind Duan Qing, roared in a low voice, "Are you really a human? ”

"Of course I am not human, I am the chosen son of God who is about to transcend all existence." Yovolk stopped laughing, still loud, "Soon, everyone, including the whole city of Zaraha...... and all shall fall down to my name. ”

"Enough empty talk and big talk."

With the similar figure that he had faced at the end of the Free City in his mind, Duan Qing completely hid his anger and remorse behind his expressionless face: "Come on......"

"It's time to show your health bar."

The figure that suddenly disappeared once again pounced into the black cloud pillar, and Duan Qing, who roared up, once again burst out a large piece of bright white light from the cross-shaped pendant on his chest, and then slashed an iron sword that he picked up on Yovork's head under the entanglement of the energy attacks that the opponent had decomposed from the black air pillar. As if he had expected such a move from the other party, Jovolk, who was holding the pillar of air with one hand, then raised his right hand with a smirk, and then spewed out a stream of black aura wrapped around his right arm, and together spewed out towards the back of the iron sword that had been slashed on his head: "It seems that you still don't understand what what is happening here means, boy. ”

"It's not the real world anymore."

The unimaginably powerful power was then born from the part of the right hand that came into contact with the iron sword, instantly pinching the iron sword in Duan Qing's hand into two halves, and the black aura that gathered at one point then flew out like a qigong wave, shocking Duan Qing's eyes full of shock straight into the distance: "And the Weaver of Destiny with the blessing of Void Power can also shape his body at will. ”

"Both strength and flesh will tend to be infinite—do you know what that means?"

knocked over countless Imperial soldiers who were fighting, smashed through the walls of two buildings near the edge of the square, and finally stopped between the ruins and broken walls, Duan Qing lifted his body that was almost falling apart, and at the same time spit out a mouthful of blood that was suffocating on his chest: "Ahem, ahem, ahem...... I see......"

"The stat value should have broken through the limit...... You're cheating. ”

Trying to twist his body, Duan Qing's gaze pierced back from the middle of the few obvious holes smashed out of his body: "This light blood bar...... It doesn't seem like I'm going to be able to shoot it down alone. ”

“…… It seems to be fighting fiercely on your side. ”

A dull voice then appeared in another piece of ruins beside Duan Qing, and at the same time appeared the bloodied figure of a middle-aged uncle who was hobbling against the wall: "Can you take this tragic opportunity to stop for a while, I still have something to tell you." ”

“…… Tristan? So Duan Qing stretched out his head vigorously: "Why are you here?" Where did you go before? ”

"I rushed in with Maggie, albeit with a few minor accidents."

Looking at the direction where Duan Qing flew from before, Tristan took the pillar of energy light that was still spreading in the distance into his eyes: "Since I got separated, I have been trying to find you, although the process is a little tortuous, but it still confirms a sentence......

"Wherever the fighting is fiercest, that's where I'm supposed to be." Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, he showed a self-deprecating smile: "It's a pity that the members of the Tristan family are not very good at fighting, so they ......"

"If you're not good at fighting, don't rush in." Duan Qing's face rose a few black lines: "I understand your kindness, but I still don't want to see the story of the gourd baby saving grandpa......"

“…… What is that? ”

"Uh...... To put it simply, don't save one and catch another one. ”

Covering his face with a little headache, Duan Qing used the little physical strength he had accumulated to support his body: "If there is nothing else, you'd better withdraw first, Ms. Maggie is in trouble now, I have to find a way to rescue her first......"

"So it's all said...... I have one more thing to tell you. Pointing to the front of the Imperial soldiers, who were constantly being forced back by the black pillar of light, and Bernard's back was revealed, Tristan sighed slightly: "Although I don't know what happened between you and the Empire, it's better for you to leave these problems in front of you to them first......

"That follower of yours, someone has already found her in trouble." He paused slightly, then said another piece of bad news: "Those adventurer friends of yours have been helping to resist for a long time, but it seems to be ...... They don't seem to be opponents. ”

“…… What the!? ”

The same stumbling footsteps stopped at the hole in the wall in front of him, Duan Qing suddenly turned around and asked, "Aiina?" How so? Who is it? At this time? ”

"I understand your feelings, but I can't answer all of your questions at the same time." Tristan replied with a wry smile, "Although I can see your intentions, you have been telling us to take care of her who can't speak for the past few days, but ......"

【Ding——】

The piercing system prompt suddenly broke into Duan Qing's consciousness, interrupting his desire to continue listening again, and he had lost his patience and forcibly pressed the irritability in his heart, and only after a while did he pull out the notification in the system panel that was responsible for prompting emergency messages in the real world.

[Emergency Communication——]

[Emergency Communication——]

[Will you go offline immediately?] 】

“…… He's X. ”

With a concise exclamation in his heart, Duan Qing hurriedly greeted Tristan, who had not finished speaking, and then after looking back at the pillar of light that was still spreading, he turned around and ran towards the periphery of the square. The torn body that had become a ragged image then began to blur along with the two broken chains tied to his arms, Duan Qing then got off the line in a corner of a street and alley that no one could see, and then returned to the game cabin in the real world under the countless urgings and curses in his heart: "It's better to have something useful, otherwise ......"

“…… Hi. ”

He opened the pod and took a call into his ear, but his searching gaze swept back and forth in the gloomy basement for a long time, and finally returned to the old-fashioned game pod panel from which the call came: "Are you...... Mo Shang Qingshan, right? ”

"I'm not Mengzhu, I'm just taking a little bit of her ...... right now Time. ”

Looking at the little girl's avatar that was still flashing, Duan Qing forced his sinking mind to face the completely unfamiliar voice: "Who are you?" ”

"It doesn't matter who I am, it's ...... Who are you. ”

A synthesized voice belonging to a man let out a hoarse chuckle on the other side of the call, and then reverted to its own nonchalant tone: "Okay, no more gossip...... Give you a chance. ”

"Give up your Fool Adventure League and come out to clarify your identity." The voice said, "Or...... Lose the life of this little girl. ”

“…… You are challenging the authority of the Alliance. In his gradually darkened face, Duan Qing squeezed out the words he wanted to say after a long time from his throat: "You should know the consequences of bringing the grievances in the game to reality......

"It's not a grudge in the game, it's just ...... An old account. ”

In the silent air, which seemed to be difficult to breathe, the voice coming back from the other side of the communication seemed to become more and more sombre: "An old account from three years ago, you...... See what I'm talking about? ”

“……”

"We never think about the means and processes when we do things, we only think about the results when we do things."

As if he understood what the expression on Duan Qing's face was at this time, the voice continued: "Originally, our boss still wanted to have a good time with you, but it's a pity...... You've gone too far lately, the eldest son of the Duan family. ”

“…… Go too far? Are you afraid that I will win the championship by mistake and then come out again? ”

"Even if you win the championship by hiding your identity, we have a way."

There was a slight pause in the voice, and the person from the other side of the communication seemed to have lost some patience: "What's more...... Even if we don't have any reason, we can do with you as long as we ...... We've debunked your identity, aren't we? ”

“……”

"Give up resistance, the souls of the dead who deserve to be dead."

Let out a few hoarse chuckles, and the man opposite him uttered his ultimatum: "All we did was to get everything back on track, and your death was a long-established fact, and now the stubborn resistance...... It just drags more innocent people into hell. ”

“……”

"All the rights are in your hands, and I hope you can make the right choice this time." The voice paused for a moment, then left the last words: "Time ......"

"Twenty-four hours, how's it going?"

【Tick——】

A slight chirp signaled the end of this conversation, and also froze this sudden final bad news in the dim basement, Duan Qing, whose eyes gradually became dull, then slowly leaned back into the game cabin behind him, and slowly spit out a heavy sigh that could not be concealed: "Actually...... I just chose it at this time...... Did they really strike ahead of schedule? ”

"Liuzhen, Liuzhen!"

His dim eyes opened suddenly, and as if grasping at a straw, he hurriedly knocked on his chat panel again, and then after a period of familiar and quick searching, he dragged out the chat box represented by a certain name: "Aren't you protecting that guy?" Where is she now? ”

"Where are you all now?"

"You, are you safe now?"

"Contact me if you have any news!"

Like an ant on a hot pot, Duan Qing, who did not let go of his mood like a dropped finger, waited anxiously in the game cabin for a long time, and finally chose to return to the game again with no response. The roar belonging to the energy storm and the wail of the soldiers also became bigger and bigger with the passage of this time, and in an instant, it spread to the place where Duan Qing had gone offline before, and without looking back at the storm, he quickly opened his adventurer map, and then jumped in from a certain underground passage closest to him: "...... I see. ”

"Looks like you've all agreed upon, right?"

After a few familiar detours, he quickly followed the shortcut of the underground pipe network back to the confines of the Harlom area, and then found the figure he was looking for in an alley near the bottom of the bar: "A group of people? ”

"That's right, so...... Give this girl to us, can you? ”

Stepping on the corpses of the Flame Legend and others around him, Luo Tu, who gradually walked out of the darkness, replied with a smile, and then brought the figure belonging to Aiina with her arms shrunk in front of Duan Qing with a fierce face.
