Silver Preliminaries - Forest Chapter 9
Updated: 2013-06-29
The black wind that devours all things, the nothingness where there is nowhere to stay, the dead and indifferent region,
This is a space of nothing, stripped from somewhere outside the 'world', one of the many 'independent',
There is no light, no sound, and no life.
The four cliffs suspended in it, holding the long handle of 'Pei', seem to be asleep, and seem to be thinking.
There is only one person who can leave here and return to the real world. Cliff, do you understand?
Feed...... What do you mean, old man, and what do you understand?
Didn't you always want my knife? Didn't you always want to leave with them? Don't you want to go outside and meet your birth parents?
So what?
Then - kill me......
What the! You are crazy!
Grab your knife, only one person will get out of here alive today!
Don't lie to me, old man!!
Doesn't your birthday every year make the same wish...... Get out of this hellish place...... Now the opportunity is right in front of you, take advantage of it.
I didn't make my wish for this, you old bastard!!
Then you will be killed by me while standing like this, and die under this sword.
Why the hell!? Even if it's death, explain it to me well, damn it!
Reason? Kid, you're always so verbose...... I'll give you one if you have to...... The person who gave me this knife once said, 'False Blade'...... There can only be one!
The remnant sun is like blood, and the two figures collide together, which is to bury each other's lives.
Wearing it in his hand, the four cliffs can't really be seen, but he can feel its existence.
"Hey, I'm bad," Siya muttered, "If it's an old man, maybe I'll be able to fight him for a few rounds."
"Hum~" The long knife rattled, as if to refute this.
"The old man may have let me," Siya shook his head, "The only thing I can beat him is my body, and I know this very well."
The cold light flashed, and there were several cuts on the wrists of the four cliffs, and for a while, blood gushed out, and the blood cells suspended in the space exuded a little bit of heat.
"Hehe, too, what's the use of thinking about it again?" Siya said, but didn't pay any attention to the wound that opened the flesh, "Is it a false blade...... I will let this era, and remember this name, for the sake of the people who have passed away in that place, and for the sake of myself - myself! ”
Old man, just take a good look at how I got out of here!
A violent sword wind blew in the space, as if it was about to tear everything apart.
Two days later, the No. 1 Forest Division, attached to the mountain area.
"Whew, it's finally here," Aaron gasped, tossed Lucario a bottle of water, and sat down to rest. "This should be the last resting point, refresh your spirits, and it is estimated that there will be a big battle later."
Lucario howled softly, gulped water, and when his hunger and thirst had subsided, he let it pour on his head, cooling his head.
Adjusting his mood, Aaron looked at the mountain road dozens of meters away,
The trail, which is only wide for three people, winds its way up to the summit at the end of the race.
After the peak of a few hundred meters high, it is naturally the highest point of Qizhu Mountain, the main peak of the cone cliff. But at this time, Aaron only glanced at it in a hurry, and marched towards the mountain peak in front of him at full speed. If you want to reach the cone cliff, you have to pass the final test of the competition area.
There are four more elves...... Enough is enough...... Right? Aaron thought uncertainly, and then laughed to himself, what am I afraid of, isn't it me who is bent on participating in the competition?
How far can I go? Looking across the attached peaks, looking at the cone cliff that seemed to be close at hand, Aaron's eyes flashed with a hint of yearning.
"Lucario, am I the first to reach the finish of the race?" Alun asked with interest,
"Whew" Lucario howled softly, turning his head to look around. To be honest, it had a faint sense of unease from the moment it stepped into this attached mountain...... It's as if you've broken into the lair of some epic creature. That kind of innate coercion is unprecedented.
The gravel road is not as Aaron thought, and there are hidden dangers. In fact, since they reached the bottom of the mountain, they hadn't encountered any elves.
Of course, Aaron didn't think it was luck, but he became more and more vigilant. Because in his way of understanding, this unguarded way of doing so illustrates the ...... The guys in this mountain are confident enough to easily crush any intruder.
Although the rocky rock walls are long and complex, there is always a time to come to an end. Aaron vaguely saw the top of the mountain hundreds of meters away, and the towering cone cliff behind the peak.
Lucario reached out to stop Aaron, who was trying to move forward, and pointed to the intertwined stone vines above his head.
The stone vines that bind each other, together with the rock walls on both sides, barely formed the shape of a stone gate, but this is not what Lucario wanted his master to see.
Following the elf's finger, Aaron noticed the ancient characters inscribed on the stone vines. Born in the Bodao family, of course, he would not be unrecognizable to this ancient script. But just as he was thinking of those words, a pleasant sound suddenly came from the area in the stone gate, at the end of the mountain peak.
"Challenger?" At the end of the mountain, near the cliff, there is a one-man high stone chair, on which sits a young girl, who is very beautiful despite wearing only light makeup. His moist eyes stared intently at the book in his hand, turning a few pages from time to time.
Even Aaron, who has read countless people, lost his mind for a while when he saw each other, not only because of the other party's extraordinary appearance, but what made him obsessed with it was the quiet temperament hidden in the moving posture, as if the soft water that could calm a qiē flame, this is Aaron's feeling. This woman is indeed made of water, Aaron thinks......
Fortunately, the family's years of training allowed him to quickly gather his mind and not show too much foreign appearance. After a pause, Aaron asked,
"What? Is the one sent by the barrier to guard this attached mountain a lovely young lady? ”
"Is it a challenger?" The girl who heard the voice, but her eyes were still on the book, "It's very early."
"Early?" Aaron, who wanted to continue to tease him, noticed the vermilion chain at the corner of the other party's snow-white neck, and his breathing suddenly became short, "The immortal inheritance prop of the Royal Academy-'Ragnarok', you are the noble daughter of the First Trainer Academy-Miss Snow?" ”
“…… You are? Xiaoxue closed the book, and then looked at the other party in surprise,
"It's normal for you to not recognize me...... Alun said bitterly, "but I don't dare to forget, a few must not be provoked, even if they are slapped, they have to be sent to the other side of the face...... This is how my generation of children were raised. ”
"Really?" Xiaoxue was a little surprised, "That's really sorry......"
"The barrier is really jealous," Alun's tone carried a hint of dissatisfaction, "Then Miss Lady, can you tell me what your fiancé has left?" ”
At the mention of 'fiancé', Xiaoxue's face was slightly red, but she immediately recovered. "The rules are simple, take the 'white' badge on the rock wall and lead the road behind me to the center of the cone. So you're a member of the Seven Nights."
White badge, does that mean? At a glance, Aaron noticed the three white badges inlaid on the rock wall next to him, and then saw the cliff staircase behind Xiao Xue.
If you don't go up that staircase, you just fall down...... Aaron shuddered, God knows what would happen. Five hundred meters, no more, no less, just enough to fall into a meatloaf.
"And what about the elves who guard this place?" Aaron asked, taking a defensive stance. "I don't believe that the barrier will let you come here alone"
"Elves?" Zhu Lips opened slightly, and Xiaoxue said slowly, "Didn't it appear a long time ago?" ”
Already there? Noticing the shadow beneath him, Aaron was immediately startled. Bigger than usual shadows? Lighting issues? No, what's behind!!
Lying on the ground, Alun flipped upside down and jumped a few meters away, only to see a spirit about two meters tall floating in the same place.
Wise eyes can be inferred that he has a high level of intelligence, strong legs, slender waist, and bony but powerful arms, all of which indicate that this is a difficult guy to deal with.
What does it appear??? Lucario, not far from Arun, wondered why he didn't feel it at all??? And the force of the waveguide has not reacted to it until now??? What the hell is going on???
"The first-class god of Kanto - the love general of the barrier, Mewtwo?" Aaron licked his lips as if expecting something. "If you can snatch the white badge from your hands and run away. My brother must have approved of my fighting style."
"Of course...... If you can do it. Xiaoxue moved the lotus step lightly and walked back to the stone chair, "Escape from this 'God of War Temple'!" ”
"Humph!" Without waiting for Aaron to speak, Mewtwo snorted coldly, and the ground at the top of the cliff immediately shook, shattering several rocks on the cliff.
Feed...... Feed...... It's just that the sound is so terrifying, how do you fight...... Aaron looked at Lucario as if pleading.
With the 'encouragement' of his master, Lucario went up after some ideological struggle.
"Sizzle" The blue arc of light around Mewtwo's body dissipated, so clean that Aaron could no longer feel a trace of energy leaking out.
"What is it?" Alan asked, puzzled,
Lucario ...... You're probably the trainer of the Bandon Clan," Xiaoxue explained slowly, "Mewtwo's fighting style is not limited by me, so I don't know what it wants to do. But if it removes its superpowers, I personally think I want to compete with your elves in martial arts."
Martial arts? Aaron tugged at the corners of his mouth, what are you kidding?
Not to mention Aaron's thoughts, Lucario has already rushed to Mewtwo first, since he has sealed his superpowers, then he will be defeated here!
With his feet on the ground, Lucario threw a powerful punch into Mewtwo's shoulder blades,
"Bang~" The fist shadow slashed, but Lucario was knocked away first, his feet dragged out two long grooves on the ground, and after barely stopping, he could no longer maintain his body and knelt down.
"What?!" Aaron stared at Mewtwo incredulously, wasn't that heavy punching posture a fighting skill? How could it be???
"Xingchen has trained Mewtwo with more than a dozen attributes," Xiaoxue said as if she saw Aaron's question. In other words, it has learned almost all the skills it can learn, except for the dragon type...... And this, of course, also includes the martial arts department. ”
Except for dragons...... Skills for all attributes? Aaron was shocked, can this be done?
Closed his fist casually, as if what he had just done was so insignificant. Mewtwo hooked his finger and unabashedly defiantly towards Lucario's provocation.
"Howl!" Lucario stood up angrily, and there was another sharp pain in his shoulder, and he immediately bared his teeth,
"Killing" Mewtwo said coldly,
"Huh?" Aaron frowned, it shouldn't have been its delusion just now. The elf seems to have said it......
"Let's use the secret technique of your wave guide clan" Xiao Xue roughly understood Mewtwo's thoughts, and said, "The reason why Mewtwo uses fighting skills is that I want to see the supreme secret technique of wave guide-killing method."
If you want to survive, then don't have mercy in battle. If you want to win, then abandon the old and useless rules. Ravage the flesh and blood of your opponents and smash their bones. The special fighting technique that only exists to obliterate the opponent, the secret technique that allowed the Bodao clan to survive from the fourth title 'Bloodshed', although I don't like this skill very much, I can't deny its power, not to mention that the trainer can't stop the elve's chosen path to become stronger.
If you have the chance, go and see it. Mewtwo, that's a more domineering technique than the skills you have. Not in power, but in the heart.
"Killing" Mewtwo said in a deep voice, obviously already a little impatient.
"Haha~ I'm really sorry about that" Alan smiled dryly, but his eyes were extremely serious, "I just don't want to learn that, so I came to participate in this competition." ”
"No, or don't you want to?" Xiaoxue said softly, "Trainer of the waveguide, this is my last persuasion. Mewtwo is an elf who has studied all the combat skills in the library of the History Department of the Royal Academy. Of course, the other twenty supreme fighting techniques recorded in it are also well known by heart. If you don't fight with the same level of 'killing', you may really die......"
"I really...... It won't ......," Aaron said word by word, and Lucario in the distance struggled to his feet.
Xiaoxue sighed softly, raised her hands lightly, and slowly fell again.
