Chapter Seventy-Three: Here and Now (End of Volume)

Wood glanced at the mansion behind him, a wry smile on his face.

Like it or not?

There is no doubt that Wood can answer without hesitation......

I don't know.

But if he doesn't care, he can answer without hesitation......

Care about!

Because it's easy to get along with each other, it's also very happy.,It can be said that it's the only person in this world who is regarded as a friend by him.。

But Wood knows himself better than anyone else.

He has no interest in everything that exists in the forbidden library, he will not be selected by the 'Book of Wisdom', he is not tall, he has no grace, and he will not say anything bullshit to Beatrice, 'I've kept you waiting'.

It can be said that in addition to his strength, which is strong in Beatrice's opinion, there is nothing that meets Beatrice's standards.

As for strength?

The last thing that is missing in the world of one punch is the terrifying monster of strength.

In Wood's view, it was just that Beatrice chose herself when there was no extra choice.

As her eyes opened, time passed, and one day she would get bored of herself, and by that time......

All that remains is a contractual relationship.

And

Can you really trust her forever?

Beatrice, can she really trust herself forever?

Both of them have an almost endless lifespan, and as time passes, they may trust Beatrice more and more, but no less ...... It will also become more and more uneasy.

A happy ending in the movie,

It may not be satisfactory in the future, because the movie can choose to end at a satisfactory time, giving the audience all kinds of imagination.

But there is no ending between the two, neither he nor Beatrice will grow old.

The movie between the two,

There will never be a happy ending unless one of them is killed.

Rather than being uneasy about an uncertain future, consider this moment to be a happy ending.

Thinking so......

The mansion behind him was getting farther and farther away from Wood, and the countdown in his mind slowed down with each second.

Finally......

The values in my mind came to the last three seconds when the mansion corridor completely disappeared behind Wood.

3、2、1……

Click!

Time came to an abrupt halt, and invisible fluctuations soared into the sky, causing Wood's brow to furrow.

The pitch-black light gradually enveloped Wood completely.

The next second.

The membranous wings stretched out from the pitch-black light, and between the flicks of the demon's inverted triangular tail, a black shadow rose into the sky.

I also don't understand what likes and what doesn't like.

But......

Succubi is desire.

Wood, in the state of succubus, can easily pull out his subconscious desires, allowing him to see more clearly what he wants to do.

Get back!

It's the biggest desire in his mind right now.

And the succubus ......

A strange smile appeared on the delicate face, and the wind around him made a black hair sway wildly, and the mansion that was already invisible was getting closer and closer.

Ben is a creature loyal to desire!

The corners of Wood's mouth gradually grinned, a kind of madness that rarely appeared on Wood's face.

All or nothing madness!

between flapping wings,

Slipping down at great speed, Wood turned into a black line in mid-air, crashing into the mansion below like a meteor.

At this moment, the dark light on his body gradually receded, and was replaced by the rise of golden divine power.

Airplanes!

Terror descended on the Mansion.

The invisible divine power seemed to have a physical body, and at the same time as the clouds in the air were blown away, the huge mansion below trembled violently, and as Wood approached, the tremor became more and more intense.

Rumbleβ€”β€”!

Finally, with a deafening roar.

The entire mansion completely collapsed, and the smoke and debris that stirred up subsided under the divine power before it could shoot up.

Woohoo......

A series of cracks sounded, and Emilia, protected by Parker, appeared on top of the ruins with Buzz and Aina.

On the other side, the twin maids appeared from the ruins with a stunned look on the Natsuki Pleiades, and looked vigilantly at the figure with a golden glow in the distance.

However, when they saw the situation in the field, everyone couldn't help but be stunned.

The mansion was reduced to ruins in the blink of an eye, but between the ruins there was a clean and tidy road, and the end of the road stretched all the way from Wood's feet, and at the end of it......

"Don't you think it's too exaggerated?"

Beatrice's face didn't have that coldness, but a bright smile that she had never seen on her face.

Wood didn't speak, but walked through the passage between the ruins.

Behind the figure......

It was as if there were millions of people standing there, and from a distance, people felt an endless sense of staring, making people dare not look directly at the figure, but instinctively lowered their heads.

Beatrice, on the other hand, raised her head stubbornly and looked directly at Wood, who had already walked in front of her.

"Can I trust you?"

Wood spoke slowly, revealing an unprecedented solemnity in his tone: "Can you always trust me?" ”

The terrifying momentum dissipated as the words fell.

"It's not that there are no options."

Beatrice replied, "In four hundred years, I have faced far more choices than you can imagine. ”

"Do you think you're strong?"

The corners of Wood's mouth hooked slightly, revealing a strange smile.

"Huh?"

Beatrice frowned, and the smile on her face gradually retracted: "Do you want to try?" ”

Wood shook his head.

"Then I'll put it another way, protect me!"

Wood paused: "Don't let anyone kill me, can you do it?" ”

"Is this the content of the contract?"

Beatrice said, without the slightest hesitation: "At the very least, I will die in front of you." ”

"It's not."

Wood shook his head, "I just wanted to ask." ”

Future......

Sure enough, it's still too far away.

Beatrice looked at Wood's eyes, and her face showed a serious look: "Betty herself doesn't know how far Betty can go, but only what I hold in my hand now, Betty will definitely not let go, let alone be left alone again!" ”

"That's it!"

The corners of Wood's mouth hooked slightly: "I suddenly thought of the contents of the contract." ”

"Huh?"

"If one day in the future, you die and I live, even if I destroy the entire universe, I will resurrect you!"

Wood slowly raised his hand, and the breath of his soul rose up above him: "In the same way, if one day, I die and you live, then no matter what the cost, no matter how hard, you will come to resurrect me." ”

"We ......"

"Never die!"

Beatrice was stunned for a moment, then a beautiful smile burst out of her face.

Syllable!

With a crisp sound, the palms of one large and one small were pressed together.

"Contract, Betty accepted!" Beatrice was stunned, and did not immediately form a contract, but asked, "Declare in advance that Betty is a fundamentally different existence from other elves. Betty was ...... by her mother That is, an artificial spirit created by the witch Akidona. Although it has a powerful power that other elves cannot match, it has many flaws at the price. ”

Beatrice bit her lip, her self-esteem was already extremely strong, so it was already a difficult thing to talk about her flaws; What's more, admitting his flaws also offended his beloved mother.

But, now she wants to say it and spread everything she has to the people in front of her.

"Betty will have an exclusive contract with Betty, which means that once you have signed a contract with Betty, you will never be able to enter into any form of contract with anyone else."

"I never thought of finding a contractor who would always be by my side."

"It's... Is it? ”

After listening to Wood's reply, Beatrice's tense face completely relaxed: "As for the other shortcomings, they are no longer defects for you. ”

She paused for a moment and continued: "Betty can only absorb magic from the contract object because she is an artificial elf, which is not a defect for your vast divine power, and the same is true for the fact that it consumes a lot!" ”

"But a flaw is a flaw after all, and I hope you don't regret it later."

Wood smiled slightly: "If I can come back here, it will already be explained...... It's too late for me to regret it. ”

"Humph!"

Beatrice turned her head and snorted.

Forthwith......

The white light and golden brilliance soared into the sky.

The conclusion of the contract made the divine power in her body fuse wildly towards Beatrice's body.

But at the same time, with the signing of the symbiotic contract, Wood could clearly feel that the strength of his soul was increasing at an incredible rate.

Wood let go of Beatrice's palm and stepped back, smiled at Beatrice's puzzled gaze, and sang slowly:

"In the name of my god of sleep, give you a place to stay!"

The index and middle fingers clasped together into a spear and slid through the void, a mysterious spell enveloping Wood and Beatrice.

"Hold the name and keep it here; Change your name and surname to be my partner; In the name of training, in the name of the pedicle; Obey my orders, for my artifact! ”

"The device is Ti, and the name is Ti!"

Shout!

The fingers fell, and the word 'Ti' gradually condensed in the air, and in the blink of an eye, it melted into the back of Beatrice's hand.

Beatrice looked down and saw a golden streak appear on the back of her hand, from which she could clearly feel the divine power coming from Wood's body, constantly strengthening her strength.

"Don't stab me casually."

Wood pointed to the word 'Ti' on the back of Beatrice's hand and said, "Now, you are my only one!" ”

"Betty won't regret it!"

Wood took Beatrice's hand, a look of self-deprecation and satisfaction on his face.

Myself

I'm sure I'll be uneasy for a long time.

I feel that no matter how strong the contract is, it will come to an end one day.

but

At least for the moment, this satisfaction ...... Or happiness is enough to cover up all the uneasiness.

As for the future?

That's not what to think about now, Wood just knows......

The choice of this moment.

No matter how many years have passed, he will not regret it!

[Due to the increase in the strength of the host's soul, the speed of time in the Overworld changes, and the return date will be changed to the day after the host's departure!] 】

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Wood pondered the system's words, and half of his face couldn't help but twitch.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Wood's appearance, Beatrice asked with some confusion.

"The ......"

Wood swallowed, "Is it too late for me to regret it?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Beatrice's face darkened: "Regret can't come, Betty doesn't know; But it's definitely too late to kill you with your own hands and keep trying to resurrect you. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

------------

I wish you all a happy Chinese Valentine's Day.

It's Tanabata...... Wood should also sprinkle a handful of dog food and hit the single Wang who is the same as Xiao Jiao.

As the saying goes, when you are in pain, you will feel much better if you pull others into the water together!!

Hey, hey, hey.

Don't you love Xiaojiao very much, don't you give a reward when it's Tanabata?
