Chapter 22: Disillusionment

() "Enjoy, Requiem 'Disillusionment', 1st Movement: Emptiness. ”

As soon as Muffle finished speaking, a flute wafted around.

Only to hear the sound of the flute lingering in their ears, low and leisurely, Owen and Cassius only felt that their minds were blank, a little calm, as soon as they looked up, Muffle was no longer there, only to see that Fang Cai was still broken through the forest, at this time it was already the moon in the sky, the miserable green miasma emanating from the Soul Eater Cave was even thicker in the dark night, and the sound of the flute came from afar, high and low, forward and backward, like a dream.

The mind was slightly clear, and the empty feeling hit again, with the sound of the flute, the mind seemed to be emptied over and over again, and all the feelings, memories, and thoughts were washed away piece by piece, like chalk words on the blackboard. The sound of the flute is like a strange road that never stops, so this empty feeling also sees no end.

Manipulated by the sound of the flute, the miasma transformed into dozens of dark green chains, wrapping around Cassius and Owen from all sides, dragging them both towards the Soul Eater. Owen and Cassius resisted as hard as they could, as if the more confused their consciousness became, the stronger the drag from the miasma chains became, so they had no choice but to remain conscious at all times, and even though those consciousnesses would soon disappear, they could only continue to repeat new thoughts and reawaken their minds. Thoughts are based on people's experiences and memories, and the constant thinking of thoughts and then erases them is the reason why their memories are erased layer by layer.

Owen and Cassius didn't think about fighting back, but as soon as the flute sounded, Cassius felt that his magic was empty, and Owen also lost all his body, lost the capital to fight back, and then even the idea of fighting back disappeared. If it weren't for the only vestiges of resistance in their subconscious, they would have been deprived of all consciousness and dragged into the Soul Eater Cave like newborn babies. However, despite still resisting, as their memories fade, sooner or later their consciousness will all disappear, and they are still being dragged into the pit step by step, whether they are dragged into the Soul Eater Cave before their consciousness is completely gone, or if they fall into it after their consciousness disappears, the result will not change......

I don't know how long it took, but the sound of the flute seemed to be over, and although it had not completely recovered from the empty sense of nothingness, it seemed to have regained a little consciousness, and Owen and Cassius found that their two feet had reached out of the edge of the pit, and at this time the two of them supported each other, and half of their bodies were struggling to cling to the ground on the edge, and they almost fell down a little.

"What a surprise to me. Muffle, who was standing on the other side of the pit, reappeared in front of them, he looked at the bloodless and pale faces of Owen and Cassius, and sneered, "No wonder so many Bloods will fall at your hands, I really underestimated you, no human has ever survived the first movement before." ”

Owen and Cassius, who were weak and weak, almost exhausted their strength to feed, and climbed up with difficulty. Owen climbed up first, and then he went to help Cassius climb back to the ground. Although the two of them were unbearable, they did not retreat from the angry eyes of Ma Fei.

"Cassius, take out the contents of the ring, we're going to fight back. Owen, who collapsed, said to the magician beside him in a trembling voice, for them who had lost their body and magic power, the only way to fight back now was a few bottles of alchemy potions in the space ring.

"Good ......" Cassius forced his composure, but his hands kept shaking, and he didn't even have the slightest magic to activate the ring.

"Fight back? You can't even stand on your feet now, why are you fighting back against me? "Muffle was like the most humorous joke he'd ever heard.

"As long as we have a companion by our side, we can remind each other and support each other, and your tricks will not work anymore. Cassius replied in a loud voice.

"I see, the first movement of 'Disillusionment', 'Emptiness', can not only deprive you of your magic and body, but also your consciousness and memory, but because of the mutual encouragement of your companions, you can barely maintain a trace of consciousness and survive until the end of the first movement. Muffle smiled more and more eeriely, and he slowly raised the human bone flute to his lips again, "But the first movement is followed by a second movement." Don't think that trust in your companions will save you a second time. ”

The solemn forest was filled with a dangerous aura, and the miasma of the Soul Eater Cave danced violently, and the turbid magic suddenly surrounded the two of them.

"Requiem 'Disillusionment', second movement: absolute. ”

The sound of the flute hissed like tearing through space. Completely different from the slow melody of the first movement, "Empty", the flute sound of the second movement, "Jue", sounds rapid, loud and surging, as if the heavens and the earth are shaking. These crazy, out-of-control melodies stimulate the cerebral cortex of Owen and Cassius, giving them a feeling that they have to do everything they can, leaving no room for anything.

In contrast to the disappearance of the senses and consciousness caused by emptiness, the note of absoluteness strengthens all human senses and emotions to the extreme.

When they first heard the flute, Owen and Cassius were extremely panicked. But then, to their astonishment, they found that their magic and body seemed to have fully recovered, and that they were more abundant than before, and their feelings turned into extreme joy. Then, the miasma suddenly accelerated, and materialized into all kinds of monsters in front of the two of them, giant spiders, cheetahs, tigers, brown bears, pythons, and wolves......

Surrounded by thousands of miserable green beast monsters, Owen and Cassius felt a trace of shock in their hearts, but then this trace of shock instantly expanded into infinite horror! The two tried their best to resist, extreme fear brought extraordinary combat power, fists and feet danced, ice and rain flew, whether it was Owen or Cassius, they all used all their strength to fight to the death, and the fierce beast monsters formed by the miasma were defeated one by one, but soon the new monsters surrounded them like a flood, and they were endless. The psychology of the two is extremely anxious!

Feeling his right shoulder sink down, Owen turned his head to look, only to see a giant bear pressing its claws on his shoulder, Owen was horrified, turned around and kicked the giant bear away, but he didn't expect to hear Cassius's scream, but saw that the miasma giant bear's body quickly shrunk, turned into Cassius's appearance, and fell into the soul devouring cave, the fat man tossed a few times in the sea of miasma, desperately stretched out his hand, but was finally drowned.

"I, I killed Cassius......" Owen knelt on the ground, and the feeling of self-reproach occupied his heart for a moment, and then expanded to the extreme, and Owen, who was so depressed, even turned a blind eye to the monsters around him approaching him.

Seeing the sneering eyes of Muffer, who was playing the flute on the other side of the pit, Owen was furious, and his extreme anger made him lose his mind, and he ignored the monsters around him and rushed towards Muffle along the edge of the pit......

The back was grabbed by the sharp claws of a fierce tiger, and the blood gurgled out along the 4 deep claw marks that could be seen, and then a python wrapped around Owen, squeezing his bones to "gurgle", and the internal organs were also oppressed by Yan zhòng, Owen's seven holes were bleeding, and his eyes were protruding, even if the snake's head opened its bloody mouth above his head, he didn't notice it, and the only thing that controlled his heart at this time was extreme sadness. "It's over, it's all over. Sophia, I'm sorry, I couldn't get you out......" Owen's hot tears mixed with his blood dripped from the hot eyeframes.

At this moment, the last note of "Jue" is played, the second movement ends, and the miasma monsters manipulated by the sound of the flute also disappear in an instant, and re-disintegrate into diffuse miasma. But the sadness that arose from the influence of the second movement did not disappear.

The second movement is not played for too long, but Owen has experienced several extreme emotional fluctuations, from absolute panic to absolute joy, to absolute fear, absolute anxiety, absolute self-blame, absolute anger, and finally absolute sadness, coupled with the death of his friend Cassius due to his own accidental injury, Owen's spirit is on the verge of collapse.

Blood stained his clothes red, and although the entangled python had disappeared, he was weak and knelt on the ground, and he couldn't find any fighting spirit in his listless eyes.

"To survive two movements in a row and not die is a great character, but you're also pushing your limits. Then you should feel honored, because you are the first human to be lucky enough to hear the third movement of 'Disillusionment'. But to Owen, Muffle's voice sounded like it was coming from all directions.

The third movement of the "Disillusionment" of the Soul Suppression: Withered!

The whistle of the call for life sounded again.

If the first movement "Empty" is the flowing water that washes a qiē, and the second movement "Absolute" is to burn all the raging fire, then the third movement "Break" is the majestic earth that absorbs all things! The melody is constantly jumping and changing its sound area in a wide vocal range, although it is not as feminine as the flowing water, nor as strong as the flame, but it makes people see the calmness of the earth. Sometimes the melody is like the top of a high mountain, with clouds and mist, sometimes like a vast desert, endless, desolate and lonely, and sometimes like a group of slopes and hills, with endless mountains and unpredictable ups and downs...... The feeling that people are so small on the earth is deeply regrettable, and they are not angry and arrogant.

In contrast, Owen did not feel that his consciousness was erased or deliberately strengthened, but rather that other consciousnesses were constantly pouring in. At some point, Owen found himself in a vast green world, full of miasma up and down, left and right. "Did I fall into the Soul Eater?" Owen exclaimed. But his questions were not answered, or they did not need answers at all. Even if he wants to resist now, he doesn't know where to resist.

The miasma did not take any shape, and it surrounded Owen's body like air, and poured into his body from his mouth, nose, eyes, ears, and bleeding wounds, as if to completely melt and absorb Owen.

"Owen, aren't you here to save me? I don't want to be a vampire, I don't want to! Why don't you save me? Why?" In front of Owen, there appeared a phantom of Sophia, covered in blood, reaching out to him with a desperate hand.

"What? you can't save Sophia, you piece of waste!"

"We are not entrusted with people, and you are late to Hansha City, and you have failed to live up to our expectations. ”

The apparitions of Joyka and Ray appeared one after another, glaring angrily.

"Hmph, I already knew you couldn't. Then came the sneering countenance of King Duris.

"Owen, why did you kill me?" The last thing that appeared was Cassius's mutilated body, the flesh on his face was constantly withering and peeling, and his body was scattered and absorbed by the green miasma little by little, but the resentful eyes kept staring at him.

"Wow...... Ahh......hh Yikes......"

Owen cried in despair in the miasma, if the previous second movement had brought his spirit to the brink of collapse, then the phantom that had just appeared had completely broken his spirit! Owen's last line of defense in his heart was broken, and the miasma poured in unhindered, sucking his blood like a root, and sucking Owen's soul as nourishment......

The only person unaffected by the Soul Eater's miasma was Muffle, who stood unscathed in front of Owen and greedily sucked the miasma that had absorbed Owen's blood and soul into his body. Looking at Owen's depleted and shriveled corpse, he laughed maniacally.

Suddenly, Muffer noticed a red dot on Owen's dried corpse, which appeared on his chest, and then quickly traveled along his dry, yellowish skin and finally rose to the center of his eyebrows.

The cold and emotionless eyes startled Muffle, hasn't this kid's soul been sucked by me, why does he still have such a strong sense of resistance? Before he could continue to think about it, black gas wrapped around Owen's body, and then turned into black flames, evaporating all the miasma around him.

"What is this black flame? This kid still has this power hidden in his instinct!"

He let the miasma overlap dozens of layers, suppressing the black flames, and the miasma tightly wrapped around the flames, just like sucking the soul just now, sucking the black flames point by point. After absorbing only a small amount of black flame, Muffle felt the immense amount of energy contained in it, and this unexpected discovery made him ecstatic.

"It's so strong, it's too strong! This power, if I can get it all...... Hee-hee-hee-hee......" greedy laughter exposes his sinister ambitions.

But soon Muffle sensed something was wrong. Because he found that the black flames did not seem to be passively absorbed by him, but more like they were actively pouring into his body, and the speed of the influx was getting faster and faster, which was completely beyond the scope of Muffle's control, as if he was going to completely encroach on his body. "Don't! stop!" Muffle was too late to stop, he couldn't stop the black flames from taking over his body!

"Coax" - black flames emerged from Muffle's body, quickly burning all over his body. Although the vampire's body of the dead could not feel pain, the flames not only burned his body, but also burned his soul. The flames of Muffle's soul weaned and begged in pain and despair, but could not be forgiven.

After burning out Muffer's body and soul, the black flames burned all the green miasma nearby, but this was not the end, soon the entire Dawning Mountain Villa and the blood clan inside fell into the Burning City, and then, the Blood Mountain Range was bathed in raging black flames, and then the black flames spread to the whole continent, and the Brilliant Continent suddenly became a sea of fire, and it was not long before the other two continents were also affected.

Eventually, the entire world of Olopa was completely engulfed in black flames.
