"So we finally followed the normal routine, little by little, and cut it down to just me."

It was like an unreal illusion suddenly moving away from his ears, and Duan Qing, who had fallen down the void well in the center of the tower, fell heavily on the ground of the corridor of the new layer of the tower, and then his body like a defeated body also collapsed to the ground under the double torture of exhaustion of strength and exhaustion, and he didn't get up again for a long time: "Although it can be regarded as successfully reaching the last layer, what is the difference between this and the annihilation of the entire army...... Ahem, ahem, ahem! ”

"Forget it, I'm the least qualified person to say that." Struggling to move his upper body away from the pitch-black floor, Duan Qing's self-talk with a violent cough then moved with difficulty on the pitch-black floor that was indistinguishable from the upper corridor: "Since I was half-forced to this place by you, even if I carry your share, how much do I have to hold on...... Shh ”

"You guys."

The scene that had happened after the eighty-fifth floor had inexplicably flashed back to his mind, and the pretended relaxed expression on Duan Qing's face slowly disappeared with this low voice: "It's like this every time...... I don't even know if I should be happy or sad. ”

"This is the last vial of life potion." Dragging his lower body to the side of the pillar, the panting gray-robed magician reached out and groped in his arms for a while: "What is this, drink the amount of blood you have stored back into your body?" Hehehehe...... Belch. ”

He lifted the medicine bottle, and the action that he was about to drink it all was then interrupted by the faint footsteps of Zou Ran in front of him, and the silent atmosphere that was completely different from the corridor of the previous several stories of the tower also approached the line of sight of Duan Qing who put down the medicine bottle little by little with the appearance of this footstep: "......"

“…… It's you. ”

His fingers pinched the surface of the crystal glass, and Duan Qing, who was staring at the person who came to answer, also had a bit of inexplicable meaning in his reply: "I didn't expect you to stay here, it's been a long time." ”

"Do we know each other?"

The sound of the liquid swelling and dripping to the ground slowly came from the person's body, and at the same time, the body that appeared in front of Duan Qing became even more disgusting and terrifying: "I'm sorry, my long-term cultivation in the void may have changed my impression of time, and some acquaintances are no longer recognizable." ”

"Haha, it's okay, it's okay, don't care." Let out two involuntary chuckles, Duan Qing, who didn't choose to pose for the battle, leaned on the pillar behind him in a sitting position: "Even if you were before, most of you can't recognize me now, after such a long time, my impression of you is only the last time you fought against you, you left a defeated dog-like look." ”

"Mr. Longall."

The footsteps finally became clearer and clearer as the distance approached, and the figure called Longdor by Duan Qing finally walked out of the dimness of the corridor, and the magic guard rays that had not stopped above the corridor were then reflected on the walking figure, illuminating his appearance full of black flesh and body, as if it had been spliced together by various void monsters, and illuminated it equally clearly: "...... It was an eye-opener, and I never thought of this possibility when we fought the Void Beasts before. ”

"No need for praise, it's a special treatment for losers." The figure seemed to be a little taller with the transformation of the Void Beast, and Longdaul, who stepped forward, looked at Duan Qing's face with a condescending look: "Since I was forced to come to the Magic Empire, I have not had any promotion in status, and since I have been classified as a loser, I have long been aware of this way of treatment." ”

"But to this day, I've paid too much on this path." He raised his huge arm that had swelled and magnified under the power of darkness, and the huge fist dripping with black pus clenched and contracted slightly: "My memory has been blurred by long-term cultivation, but only the hatred of the Free City and the hatred of those living are still deeply imprinted in my heart. ”

"Are you a resident of Liberty City?"

His expression seemed to begin to become unstable with the manifestation of this emotion, and the lines on Longor's face, which only had his head and upper body in human form, began to become hideous: "I don't know why, I suddenly want to pinch your head right now, hehe, he......"

"Wait a minute, wait a minute." Hurriedly raised his hands, and Duan Qing, whose eyes flashed a little light, then put his dry smile on his face again: "If it's true that you've been staying here because of your hatred for the Free City, then isn't everything that's happening outside now something you should be happy about?" ”

"Because of the loss of the Twelve Thrones after you, it's a miserable mess now." Feeling the distorted oppression that was close at hand and stopping in mid-air, the gray-robed magician's voice slowed down a lot as he tried to explain and reassure: "We passed by that city a little earlier, and they were miserable in the invasion of the Void World—"

“…… Oh? Is that so? The rolling eyeballs gradually regained their initial stability with the appearance of Duan Qing's words, and the madness in Longel's gaze, who was staring at Duan Qing, faded a little: "How many people did they die?" ”

"Uh, that-" Scratching his cheeks, Duan Qing, who was looking left and right, replied in a low voice with a lying appearance that a normal person could see, "At least half of the city's people are dead, right?" Whether it's adventurers or candidates for the throne, like Reiner, and Huska, and Stark......"

"They're all dead?"

The untransformed other hand grabbed Duan Qing's magic robe fiercely, and Longdor's sudden voice also carried a bit of uncontrollable laughter: "All dead? Are they all dead? Hahaha! They were all dead! ”

"I've been locked up in this place for an unknown amount of time, and every day I fantasize about their plight." The gradually amplified laughter then disappeared in place in the abruptly contracted breath sound, accompanied by Longdor's sudden transformation of his calm appearance, which was covered in black aura: "In order to complete my revenge on those people, I even do not hesitate to grovel to those adventurers who have no strength at all, and only know how to bully people all day long, cooperate with them to complete one useless plan after another, and waste one great opportunity after another. ”

"Finally, I've got the approval of the damn Magic Empire." The words became clearer and clearer as Longor's speech gradually flowed, and even the body wrapped in the twisted void limbs seemed to return to its normal upright posture as his spirit revived: "The Magic Empire has given me the final task to infiltrate the city as I envisioned, destroy the Star of Morne, and wipe out the entire city and all the people in it...... Hmph, hum, hehehe! Ahahahaha! ”

"That's right! That's right! What the history of the Free City! The glory of the Rondaul family! It's just useless! The confession-like voice turned into a shrill laugh again, mixed with the movements of the body in front of Duan Qing's eyes that began to twist again: "As long as you can trick them into activating that magic circle!" And then detonate the energy in the circle together—"

As if stuck in his neck by a fishbone, his voice suddenly stopped in mid-air, and the indescribable silence then diffused between the creature who no longer knew what it had become and the gray-robed magician half-lying on the ground, and finally broke again with the confusion that flashed in his eyes: "No, no, no...... Wrong. ”

"I'm here after that?" One of his disgusting palms, stained with black viscous liquid, slapped the back of his head, and the pus that stained half of his face didn't seem to cause him anything unusual: "Why?" How so? I've been here for half a year, and I've been guarding this area......"

"Maybe it's because the passage of time in the Void World is not in sync with the passage of time outside." The voice of dry laughter and explanation became more and more difficult, and Duan Qing, who was trying to stand up, involuntarily opened the distance between himself and the mentally deranged person in front of him again: "According to the experiments we have done several times before, the passage of time in the Void World should be a little faster than that of the outside world, and the time that takes a day over there may take longer here." ”

"The magicians of the Magic Empire have become powerful precisely because of this advantage in time." He said these words while making a powerful gesture towards the other party: "Just like you and me—isn't it for this reason that we choose to cultivate here, expecting to become stronger?" ”

"You...... I ......"

It seemed that he had become a little confused because of a series of memories of confusion, and the sight that appeared on the body that was not as good as a human and ghost staring at Duan Qing also became a lot more chaotic at this time, and Duan Qing, who had exhausted his three-inch incorruptible tongue, then slowly moved his steps, and his tone of persuasion and comfort became more and more relaxed: "Look, since we are all degenerate, can we call them companions?" ”

"You...... No...... Intruders? ”

"How is that possible? We know each other so well, Mr. Longall. ”

Carefully walking around the other party's knotted arm like a giant zombie for half a circle, Duan Qing's gaze also began to look quietly in the other directions of the corridor: "Otherwise, what am I doing here in a hurry?" Isn't this the heart of this tower, the most suitable place for those of us to cultivate? Ah, right. ”

"Speaking of which, this is the first time I've been here." Not perceiving the other party's intention to attack, the gray-robed magician's voice began to become more and more low: "The central control room should be going in this direction, right?" If nothing else—"

Syllable!

The piercing and crisp explosion then sounded in Duan Qing's ears, and with the gray-robed figure rushing to the side, it reverberated in the sky above this area, and the shattered ice crystal fragments then centered on the spot where Duan Qing had just stood, turning into scattered petals and swaying around the corridor. The seemingly gentle petals actually contained irresistible lethality, and drew blood marks on Duan Qing's body who fell to the ground urgently, and the gray magic robe's body that was also cut with several marks was then suddenly jumped up in the action of gritting his teeth and inhaling, and forcibly ran to the front of the corridor with a muffled roar under the injury: "Damn, it is really impossible to cross this last layer of the test so easily." ”

"Who!?"

The sharp eyes traced the magic track in his eyes to the end of the corridor in front of him, and the figure belonging to a magician draped under the cloak then slowly appeared in Duan Qing's field of vision to urgently find the source of the attack, and then the wall composed of huge ice blocks also distorted the light between him and the magician's figure in the sudden rise of azure light, and fell in front of Duan Qing with an aura black enough to cover the entire corridor: "You, you are-"

The sound of the uproar, together with the diffuse extremely cold and freezing air, stretched to the left and right of the corridor, and also extended the huge ice that fell to the ground, like an avalanche that was torn apart, reflecting the magnificent and glorious scene, and the position of Duan Qing, who had been completely pressed below, was then occupied by the largest ice crystal that had not yet been shattered, and the transparent surface emitting green smoke also appeared immediately after the marks of the Dao being torn: "You! It's you again! ”

"Stay away from me! You crazy woman! ”

The black giant claw, which was more exaggerated and terrifying than the collapse of the ice crystals, then swept across the center of the corridor, and swept back towards the direction of the ice crystals with a crazy roar from Longdor, and the twisted body whose hands were swelling larger than a human then also crossed Duan Qing's position, swaying wildly between the diffused extremely cold and freezing air: "You can't freeze me!" You can't freeze me! You can't stop my revenge! I'm going to tear you all apart! Hahaha! ”

"—Failure."

A low murmur then appeared from the mage's location, and the voice was as low as the abyss of the Nine Shadows: "There is no need for your presence here. ”

"You can't! No! Twisting his knotted arm frantically, Longor's spirit seemed to become unstable with the appearance of this voice and the diffuse freezing air: "You are not! You can't do it! This is my territory! Minecraft! You can't control me! ”

“…… Get out of the way. ”

As if losing his vitality, the figure of the ice mage in the darkness at the far end of the corridor stood quietly in place without any movement, and the body of a more burly sword warrior then slowly walked out from behind the ice mage, and the outstretched arm also pointed to the figure of Duan Qing who was lying motionless on the ground behind the crazy figure: "What we have to deal with now is him." ”

The silent momentum rose again as his words fell, and swept towards the direction where Longall was with an ice-blue storm, and a figure that quickly flashed through this blue storm then broke through everyone's line of sight, pushing him out before the ice crystal blade mixed in the storm was about to land on Duan Qing's motionless body lying on the ground.

"Sir!"
