Chapter 24: Sword Slash
Every scene from five years ago is vivid, as if it had just happened yesterday.
Uncle, I'm sorry I may not be able to fulfill your agreement, because I can't do it to see it destroy my home! Watching everyone get killed in vain, I can't do it!
If I survive this time, I will become one of those heroes of your mouth that will spread all over the world!
The nearby scenery turned into a phantom and quickly retreated, and in the orange sunset, Eddie's figure flashed by, rushing forward.
His eyes have changed, and the cowardly eyes full of panic five years ago have gradually transformed into today's unwavering perseverance even if there is a dead end in front of him!
He escaped once five years ago, and this time he won't run again!
The red light on the horizon lit up, as if the boundless flame was ignited, and it was clear that the sun had sunk into the continuous mountains, but at this moment the sky was like sunrise!
The crimson light expanded so fast that soon half of the sky was dyed an ominous red, and even the clouds in the sky were engulfed in red.
A violent explosion was heard, and someone had already fought with the Red Devil!
Fierce flames spread across half the village, houses were collapsing, and people were wailing for their lives.
"Run! Run, everyone! ”
"Run, hurry!"
"Wow, Mom....... Woohoo......"
At this moment, the entire village of Glia became chaotic, and there were people fleeing for their lives everywhere, and cries and cries were everywhere.
In the old days, Add would have stopped to clear the crowd, but now he had more important things to do.
It's here! Add finally arrives in front of the Red Devil.
It's just that before he could catch his breath, he was attracted by the flying figure in the air.
"Uncle Leonard!"
When he saw the figure's face, Eddie was shocked.
His figure flashed and appeared below Uncle Leonard's fall, catching Leonard's body falling from the sky.
"Uncle, are you okay?"
"I didn't ...... Poof......"
Leonard was about to say that it was okay, but a stream of blood gushed out of his lungs and couldn't help but spurt out.
"Uncle, you take a slow rest first."
Add placed the depressed Uncle Leonard on the ground, holding the greatsword left for him by Uncle Town in both hands, and looked at the huge beast shadow with a solemn face.
This was the first time Eddie had seen the Red Devil in person.
It was a behemoth covered in dark red scales, and the gaps between the scales shone with a crimson glow, making it look like it was flowing with red lava.
It was more than ten meters tall and several meters wide, and its huge body made Eddie stand in front of it like a mouse looking up at an elephant.
Behind it, slowly opening membranous wings seemed to obscure the entire sky, apparently a subspecies of dragons.
A pair of lantern-sized fiery red eyes made people shudder, and two dark red fire mist erupted from its nostrils, and the blazing heat distorted even the air.
The Red Demon took a step forward, and the ground beneath its feet suddenly began to melt, turning into a dark red flow of magma, and the dark light was shocking to see!
Add had already rushed in front of it, his skin aching from the scorching air, and his whole body seemed to be roasted on burning charcoal, as if it was about to spontaneously combust in the next moment.
Add's hands clenched the greatsword trembled, not scared, angry.
"I know I'm just a human who has learned a little bit of martial arts and is a little better than ordinary people......"
"I know better than anyone else ......that I'm very weak."
"There's no way I'm going to win against you, I know better than anyone else......"
"Even so, I have to do it, it has nothing to do with whether I win or not....."
"For the sake of the dead town uncle, for everyone, for the sake of Glia...... In the name of the Self-Defense Forces, give me death!! ”
Regardless of courage or fear, Eddie suddenly jumped up and swung his sword at the beast shadow hundreds of times more powerful than himself with his small body!
The beautiful and prosperous town ten years ago, the mayors and uncles who treated him like relatives five years ago, and everyone who talked and laughed yesterday...... All the scenes passed before my eyes.
At that moment, Eddie only felt that his mind was clearer than ever, and everything turned into anger, burning in his heart!
The brilliant sword light was like a rising meteor, and the dazzling white light pierced the sky, shooting straight towards the giant beast!
"Kill!"
He roared like an enraged tiger, thinking to himself that five years ago there was a man who had done something similar, roaring and leaping into the air, swinging his sword and slaying the dragon, and at that moment his back was as brilliant as fireworks!
Red Devil, do you remember the warriors who jumped up and slashed you? If the past repeats itself, do you also have a little bit of fear?
Add's whole body was blood-red, and his whole body seemed to be burning.
This sword was taught to him by Uncle Mayor.
That night five years ago, in the distance of the small town of Glia, he had seen the white light that broke through the sky.
The Red Devil finally got a little interested in the ant that had blatantly attacked it.
It looked at the cold sword light with interest, and there was only playfulness in its fiery red eyes.
It raised its massive claws, covered in hideous dark red scales, and swung at Add, who slashed straight down, as if swatting a fly.
Click!
The sword light shattered, and without being able to do any damage to the giant beast, it turned into a sparkling white light and dissipated into the air.
Eddie, on the other hand, flew back upside down like a rag doll, and with a rumbling sound, Eddie's body crashed through several houses, collapsing all along the way, and finally buried in the rubble.
The Red Devil glanced at the ruins with disdain, ants are ants, and it is unbelievable that they were slashed by these ants five years ago.
It turned and looked at the village of Glia that had been rebuilt, its fiery eyes full of tyranny.
It wants to destroy this place, and to tell the human ants with its destruction that its majesty is inviolable!
This time, no one can stand in its way anymore!
"Stop!"
A familiar voice suddenly sounded behind it, and it turned its head with some confusion.
A bloody hand suddenly burst out of the rubble, and Eddie picked up the rubble and stood up.
Blood poured from his forehead, across his face, and dripping to the ground, and at this moment Eddie was covered in scars, but his eyes were more determined than ever.
"Is that all! I'm not done digging yet! ”
Add's bloodied hands raised his sword and charged to the death at the huge beast figure in front of him!
Bang!
With a wave of the Red Devil's claws, Eddie suddenly smashed back at a faster speed like a cannonball, and a big hole was dug up on the ground!
“..... It's endless, it's not over! ”
Eddie, who had fallen to the ground, staggered to his feet and charged again.
“...... How can it be...... Defeated by you like that! ”
Boom, Add is knocked into the air again.
In this way, he stood up again and again, only to be knocked down again and again, as tough as a wild weed growing madly in the wild.
Eddie didn't know how many times he stood up on his own, how many times he was knocked down, the blood blurred Eddie's eyes, and the bones in his body seemed to be shattered, but he still stood up again and again!
Finally, the Red Devil got annoyed and angry.
It raised its head and opened its mouth wide, and the energy visible to the naked eye continued to gather and compress, forming a ball in front of it!
A huge, glowing red ball.
Are you going to die? Eddie was lying on the ground at the moment, and he couldn't move even if he wanted to.
He'd seen the Red Devil move five years ago, and it had pierced the town of Glia five years ago.
Slowly, the ball of light was compressed to the extreme,
In an instant, the heavens and the earth were quiet!
A huge and terrifying pillar of fire erupted at Add, and the ground along the road instantly melted, turning into burning red magma, like a rushing river of flames!
The wooden house was shattered in an instant, leaving only a little black ash in the blinding red light!
Looking at the flames that filled the sky and threatened to engulf him completely, Add closed his eyes calmly......
Are you going to die...... It turns out that death is like this......
One second...... Two seconds...... Three-second ......
Eddie senses something is wrong, is this really death?
Add opened his eyes, and he saw a scene he would never forget.
In the red light of the sky, a small figure stood there, holding out his palm against it.
The blazing flames rushed in, and everything was burned to ashes, but it couldn't help the tiny figure!
The huge pillar of fire seemed to have met a wall, an invisible and impregnable wall in front of that tiny figure!
The figure turned his face slightly sideways and looked at Eddie, amazingly, the figure's face was so young:
"Good job, boy!"
