It was raining in the night sky.

The rain is scarlet, the result of a demigod's loss of control and fall.

Under the siege of the law of embodied death, failure to maintain the realm will immediately "die", and maintaining the realm is tantamount to suicide. The two paths in front of Gaio, no matter which one he chooses, are already doomed.

The abrupt changes that followed his death gathered scarlet clouds in the sky.

The rain of blood seeped into the trenches through the cracks in the planks, dripping like a red curtain.

The knight's corpse slowly dissolved in the blood, and Priest Marc frantically pulled the trigger and fired all his ammunition at Peggy.

Even if he is about to die in this mutation, he will first drag the devil's companions into the River Styx!

However, no matter how he shot, those bullets could not do any damage to Peggy.

Until his feet were also dissolved in the aberrant blood water, and his body fell into a pool of blood, and then was slowly devoured.

Peggy sat silently on the ground, her left hand around Asker's neck, her right hand caressing his face.

Countless death tadpoles, happily swirling around her, swimming, separating the surrounding blood from the two.

She had learned what death was.

Yet she preferred that she never understood.

"I don't agree." Peggy whispered.

The tadpoles dispersed as if frightened, and then carefully surrounded her at a distance.

Tears flowed down Peggy's cheeks, and she tried to say in a voice that didn't tremble:

"I won't allow you to die."

On Asker's corpse, countless dark tadpoles were dissociating from his body.

The concept of death was being stripped from his body.

However, Asker was still lying in his arms, his heart not starting, his breathing not returning, and his face was not bloodless, it had only stopped rotting.

He no longer died, but he did not rise again.

Sure enough, doesn't it work......

Peggy vigorously wiped the tears from the sides of her cheeks, but more tears rolled down her eyes.

"I know it's wrong, Asker."

She muttered in a pleading voice, her white palms covering Asker's face.

"I'll never ...... again Hiding from you. ”

More tears fell in pools of blood, and Peggy looked at the corpse in her arms in pain, her eyelashes trembling slightly.

"Forgive me."

There was no answer.

"Asker......," she called in a low voice, "please open your eyes." ”

There was no answer.

"I haven't shown you my diary yet...... I still have a lot to say to you......" More tears welled up from her eyes, making her voice almost tremble to the point of distortion, and there seemed to be a fire burning in her chest, it was the body of the fawn that had once jumped over, her dead heart.

“…… And our children, our future ......"

There was no answer, for a long time.

"Really?" She slowly closed her eyelids, letting the tears continue to slide down her neck, "So ......"

It turns out that I still have nothing.

In the sky above the trench, the blood rain of the mutation was still falling, and the two giant dragons kept flying around the periphery of the mutation, never daring to enter the mutation.

"It's a necromantic mutation." One of the dragons vibrated its wings and glided vigorously under the night sky, "Mutations are corrupting the land. This trench could no longer be entered, and Little Saxony's war plan was in trouble. ”

"Which demigod fell here?" Another dragon flew after it, "I smell something ominous. ”

Suddenly, the silence of the night was torn apart by a terrible cry, and the grief and despair contained in it almost caused the two dragons to lose their minds for a moment.

"What's that?" A giant dragon steadied itself in the air, a little dazed, "It seems to be a woman's cry." ”

"Nope." Another dragon said, "More like the desperate roar of a beast." ”

……………………

Holy See Intelligence Service, BI Monitoring Room.

"Raphael Thread Alarm Again!" An exclamation point popped up on the screen, causing all the priests to get busy in an instant.

"Where's the location?!"

"North of Verona! Alarm content [threat level change], thread PeggyR4Monitor, changed from Encloid to Keter! ”

Soon, Pope Innocent and the cardinals also arrived in the monitoring room.

"Keter-class?" Innocent's expression was solemn, Keter meant that the existence of technological civilization had been threatened, "Can the all-seeing eye lock on to a specific location?" ”

"The target location is in the north of Verona, and at this time the nearest all-seeing eye is over the Atlanta Ocean, and the designated position cannot be monitored! In addition, it is midnight, and the visible light on the ground is extremely low, and even if it is monitored, it is impossible to carry out high-definition imaging! ”

"What about the Templars stationed in Verona?" Innocent interrupted him, "Hurry up and let them investigate!" ”

In Verona, a group of Templars walked out.

The latest urgent mission from the Holy See, with a danger level of S4 and a generous reward, soon took over the mission from the Templars, who were not afraid of death, intending to go to the northern trenches to detect the anomaly.

At this time, the sky over the trench was overcast, and strange and strange blood rains kept falling, almost drowning the entire trench.

The Templars stood at the entrance to the trench, staring at the blood-colored water that rose to the height of their calves, and did not dare to go down.

One of the knights caught a grasshopper from nearby and threw it into the stagnant water ahead.

The grasshopper that fell into the water didn't even struggle, and sank straight to the surface of the water, as if falling into the mouth of a monster.

It's weird. The Templars looked at each other.

Suddenly, mysterious footsteps were heard from the depths of the trenches.

The Templars stared ahead, guns raised, and waited as they saw a figure emerge from the stagnant water.

It was a beautiful girl, holding the corpse of a young man in her hands, wading through the water with empty eyes. The blood-colored water that could devour the grasshopper naturally parted at the side of her legs, as if it were encountering resistance.

"Stop!" The Templars fired their guns upwards in warning, "In God's name, I command you to stop!" ”

…… God who can't save him, I don't care.

Peggy continued to walk forward with the corpse in her arms, her movements mechanical stiff like a puppet.

"I order you to stop!" The Templar aimed his rifle at her, shouting in horror and ferocity, "I'll shoot no more!" ”

For S4-level missions, shooting rashly is usually ineffective and can cause greater danger. As a result, the Templars simply maintained their aiming stance, moving neatly to the sides, not daring to stand in the way of the young girl.

…… Why is it that he is dead, but you are alive?

Peggy walked out of the trench along the slope, and suddenly there was a hint of color in her empty eyes.

The Templars were about to pull the trigger, but the guns in their hands rusted at a speed visible to the naked eye, first with the muzzle, then the body, then the handle, and it spread rapidly along the prosthetic leg of their grip towards their shoulders.

Any man-made industrial product naturally has a lifespan.

And with "lifespan" comes "death".

Enlightenment flashed through Peggy's mind, and her deep understanding of the law of death made her upgrade again, and her ability to law was further strengthened.

The Templars, whose limbs had been destroyed, collapsed to the ground, unable to move, their expressions terrified, completely unaware of what was happening.

Peggy looked at them wordlessly, her dark pupils filled with only indifference.

A faint red aura wafted out of their last remaining flesh and blood bodies, converging into the corpse that Peggy was carrying.

"Life Stealing II" draws the life force of living creatures from a distance and gathers them into the body of the designated person.

Manipulated by Peggy's abilities, the horrific wounds on Asker's corpse's chest began to heal as the life force flowed in, and the skin gradually turned bloody.

However, there was still no heartbeat or breathing, and after a circle in his body, these life forces began to dissipate slowly, like a leaky jar.

"Asker." Peggy stared at his flushed face, a hint of tenderness in her dead eyes, "I'm not going to let you die like this." ”

"Never ......"

"Never ......"

"Even if you want to kill all living creatures in this world......"

She pressed her forehead against Asker's pale cheek, her eyes closed, as if feeling the remnants of life in him.

Driven by her strong emotions, the inky tadpoles, embodied by the concept of death, swam out of the sky, from the earth, and from the void, and swam happily around her.

Dense, covering the sky and the sun.
