Chapter 126: Born but Not Human
The Frost Giant stood tall in the sky, and without hesitation, it headed in Gregory's direction, and Hamus trembled at its feet, lest the terrifying giant stomp itself into a meatloaf.
But the Frost Giant didn't even look at her, and walked away with heavy steps.
Hamus breathed a sigh of relief. "How the hell are you going to defeat this monster?"
In fact, she didn't want to fight when she learned that Saromi could use dragon vein energy. Her immortal body relies on the life-giving properties of the dragon vein to regenerate indefinitely, and when she encounters an opponent whose body is not above the dragon vein or can also manipulate the dragon vein, she will numb her claws.
It's okay to say that the body is not above the dragon vein, and it can last for a while with the energy stored by itself. But if you encounter someone who can also manipulate the dragon vein and has a higher attainment than her, you will encounter the same situation as before - the corrosive power of the dragon vein does not work.
Not only the power of corrosion, but also the dragon vein energy controlled in the hand can be counter-controlled by the enemy or even inhibit regeneration.
In a word, she will really die against Salome.
………… But if you don't stop it, you'll still die.
A one-eyed worm came out of the ground, and the bloodshot one-eyed looked at her coldly.
Hamus: "............"
It is better to be punished by the professors of the graduate school than to be trampled to death directly by Salome, at least the former can die happily.
So, Hamus stood in front of the Frost Giant again.
"Aren't you dead yet? Little girl? ”
History is always strikingly similar, and a moment ago Hamus was tormenting Anjie to his heart's content. Now it was her turn to face despair.
"Do you have any other means to praise it? You can take it out and give it a try, I'll give you five minutes, and if you can't kill me in five minutes, I'll kill you. ”
Salome's voice was flat, but Hamus knew it was telling the truth, and that trying to kill herself was really not much worse than stepping on a small bug.
Because she could already feel her regeneration suppressed!!
The constant loss of dragon veins in her body allowed Hamus to force herself to calm down. The other party has already obtained the dominance of the dragon veins in this area, and her last strength has been deprived.
But sometimes, the word power doesn't refer to the supernatural powers. Compared to magic and vindictiveness, power, money, connections—these are also powers.
And these forces ...... She didn't have any!
Hamus's heart sank to the bottom.
"Can't speak? Then go die. After all, you are also a member of the graduate school, and since you don't leave, you can only be killed. ”
Salome said coldly: "Don't blame me, after all...... I've already given you a chance to escape! ”
The Frost Giant lifted his big foot and stomped on Hamus! The cold air mixed with tremendous power fed back on the stiff Hamusi, making her expression more and more desperate!
At the same time—
An Jie, who had been unconscious, suddenly opened her eyes.
"It's so badly hurt"
"An Jie" looked at the wound on her abdomen, and a complicated look appeared in her eyes.
"You really deserve it, Anjie"
She looked at the Frost Giant, who couldn't be seen overhead.
"Your unwilling will has been conveyed to me, and in that case, I will help you............ No thanks, just take what you need."
Dark golden lines appeared on her body, and on the head of "An Jie", a steel billet was formed and turned into a round of "aperture". Black magic erupted from her back in strips, and without any leverage, An Jie silently flew into the sky.
Compared to the giant frost giant, she was so inconspicuous that no one noticed her. But it was such an inconspicuous little guy, but he suddenly released an endless spiritual power at the giant!
"I will make up for the regret of being born without being human. Now, shout as hard as you can: I'm a human being.
The Frost Giant stepped on Hamus's big foot and stopped abruptly. Salome shouted in amazement, "What's going on?!" ”
Everything happened so suddenly, and Hamus was ready to die, but when she saw that Salome suddenly stopped, she immediately ran out of the giant's feet.
She made up her mind that no matter how much the graduate school urged, she wouldn't be right with Sarome! And speaking of experimental samples............ She fixed her eyes on a pile of broken rocks on the ground - wasn't there something ready-made?
The frost giant of Salome suddenly began to disintegrate, and no matter how much it roared, it was useless. Shattered ice mixed with rubble fell to the ground. First the ice cube on the outside, then the Golem body on the inside. Arms, body, head, legs. It only took more than ten minutes before and after............
………… Salome was transformed into a solitary skeleton again.
But all these changes are far from over, from the gaps in its bones, pieces of ice crystals actively fly out of its body, and fall to the ground into icemen, these icemen came to its side with their bare hands, and pressed its hand bones, ribs, skull, and leg bones. He slammed it to the ground, grabbed its head and lifted it up.
Salome understood what was going on.
"I see............ My retribution has come. ”
"Retribution? That's right. They are clones, and although they are crowned with a human character, they are not born as human beings."
An Jie slowly descended from the sky.
"These poor beings, who you use as living CPUs, betray you in the end, maybe it's retribution, as you say."
"What did you do?!"
"I didn't do anything, I just instilled false memories in them."
The skull's jaw opened and closed, and he coldly mocked, "Instilling false memories in them, how is your behavior different from mine?" At least I'm not giving them unrealistic fantasies, you ............ It's just that it's more painful for them to die. ”
"Then why do you think moths put out fires?"
An Jie's rhetorical question, Salome, was speechless.
"Admit defeat, undead. Your existence is against the laws of the world."
"I just want to ............"
"Goodbye daughter?"
An Jie reached out and broke Saromei's ribs, which made a crisp "pop" sound when they were broken. She did not make any indication of Sarome's wishes.
Who wouldn't want to see their family at the end of their lives? But as An Jie said, the existence of Sarome violates the laws of the world.
Its desire is not allowed.
"Dust to dust, dust to dust"
Reaching out and pulling out a violet philosopher's stone from Salome's chest, Anjie carefully put its ribs back into place, one by one.
"The kingdom of the dead is not here. It's time for you to go.'"
The light in the eyes of Salome, who had lost the Philosopher's Stone, was gone. It knew what its final outcome would be, and it was ready to accept it, and the long darkness gave it enough time to repent, but at the end of its life, its wish was still not fulfilled.
Perhaps this is what it often calls "retribution"
"Finally...... One............ Issue. ”
"Please speak"
"Who are you?"
『…………』
An Jie groaned.
"The undead trying to revive the glory of the past............ Probably.
"That's not ............ Is it the same as me.................."
"Anjie" looked at Salome, who was completely silent, and said:
"It's different, because I'm a mechanical being. And...... I don't have anyone I have to see."
At this moment, the dark clouds finally completely dispersed, and the scorching light filled the heavens and the earth. The loss of the Philosopher's Stone is not only the end of Salome, but also the end of those Icemen.
The clones nodded slightly to An Jie.
"Go all the way, I wish you can be a real person in the next life."
Watching the icemen disappear into water vapor, An Jie sighed.
"Although this world is not friendly to humans at all, it ............ Well, there will always be good things in life.
"Next ............"
"Anjie" looked up at the huge light in the sky.
"In the third stage of the lightning storm, the super-dense plasma that has completed the reaction has begun to fall, and it is exactly what that Nicholai said."
"If you don't run away before that one falls completely, it's over, Anjie will be buried with the entire fortress............ I've been prepared for it."
