XIV. Phantoms of Death
Elrez lands and walks towards the Black Nightmare with the momentum of divine punishment, he is an angel, he is fearless in the face of demons, on the contrary, in the face of the light, it should be the demons who tremble.
The hair of the Black Nightmare was like a growing thorn, one entangled with the other, and the thorn stretched upwards and covered the sky, and the fear of the people fueled the black flames. The Black Nightmare opened its mouth, revealing two rows of fangs, which were set off by black and glowed with a chilling light.
He is warning the world: Don't believe the lies of the world, human beings - "Don't be afraid, the darkness will pass." "It was just a nightmare." "There is a lot of hope in the world." "There are no ghosts around you." "God will bless you." - These false words make you blind, paralyze you, and make your souls fragile and tame.
But that is not the truth, what you see before your eyes is the truth. The fear of darkness has always been there, just like darkness, it has always been there.
Then the darkness will swallow the light.
Elrez's warhammer was forged by the light, and at this time it was about five meters long, and its golden hammer head was a majestic sculpture of God. He threw a blow at the Black Nightmare, which held it with its claws. Elrez shot a golden light out of his left hand, knocking the Black Nightmare back several steps.
The angel pursued, hammer after hammer smashed on the top of Black Nightmare's head, Black Nightmare blocked several times, and reached out to grab the hammer. The angel sneered, summoned a pillar of light from the sky, and the black nightmare wailed and fled from Elrez's eyes. Elrez lunged forward, and suddenly, the Black Nightmare counterattacked, and with a single grab, Elrez stumbled and leaned back, leaving four scars on his cheeks and bleeding.
Errez was furious and lunged at the black nightmare, and the two of them crashed into the wall on the other side, and the aether outside the wall seeped in, and the black nightmare soaked in the aether, trembling in pain.
The angel cried out, "Bear the wrath of God!" Demon! He grabbed Black Nightmare's neck, made the hammer smaller, and slapped the demon in the face. But the demon opened his mouth and bit it, and this time it was the angel's turn to cry out in pain.
The Black Nightmare grinned, biting the angel's wrist and letting go, blood dripping from his mouth. The angel gritted his teeth and raised his hammer to summon the light of heaven once more. However, the Black Nightmare kicked the angel hard, and the angel fell far and badly, and the pillars on the way collapsed.
Black Nightmare pounced, holding down the angel, claws grabbing dozens of times, tearing apart the angel's armor and body. Elrez was instantly scarred and bloody, his fists glowed, and he knocked the Black Nightmare over with one punch, and then knocked the Black Nightmare to the ground with another punch, he picked up the hammer and hammered the Black Nightmare's head, boom, boom, knocking him into the floor like a nail.
The people shouted in horror, shocked by the state of the battle.
Even though the world is ruined, humanity is still a believer in this heavenly authority, and they should have hoped for the angel to win, but now they have fallen to the side of the black nightmare, because the angel will slaughter them when he wins, and the demon may not.
Airrez gasped, his hands clenched his hammer to gather his strength, and then, with a loud roar, he emitted the most powerful of holy lights, heavy and powerful, engulfing the black nightmare in an instant, and it pierced the skyscraper, a large hole leading to the lowest level, revealing the empty floor below, which was still floating in the air.
The demons are finished, and the angels win again, and these fallen angels are the defeated soldiers of the angels.
He shouted and celebrated his victory, and the great battle meant so much to him. He looked around, trying to see the admiration in the eyes of the people, but was disappointed.
They didn't look up to him, they were just afraid of him.
Ignorant humans, simply hopeless, Elrez immediately decided: they will be punished. Elrez still needs these humans to help him destroy the demons in the area, but it's not too much to set an example by killing some.
He saw black, ink-like... Things roamed around, it was erratic, it was thick and multitude, it was constantly changing like a living thing, it spread very quickly, and soon everyone, including Elrez, became guests of the shadow.
Lies, you are also immersed in lies - "Angels are victors, angels are the nemesis of demons!" "God favors his faithful servants and gives them invincible strength!" "My mission comes from God, so I will succeed and not fail." "The courage of the angels is boundless." - You've been blinded by lies, Seraphic Elrez, and now, it's time for you to open your eyes.
Elrez said angrily, "You bewitched the humans here? Show up, demon! Their faith in you is fleeting, and humans are accustomed to obeying the strong! You cowardly coward! You're like a lost dog in front of me! ”
He knew that Black Nightmare had been badly wounded, and that the battle was over with just one final blow.
Black nightmares do fear you, but black nightmares are nightmares. Nightmares are not superficial fears, but deep subconscious aggregates of human beings. Nightmares make people desperate, and nightmares can make people stronger. In desperate situations, people will run faster, scream louder, resist more fiercely, and bring out their full potential.
You misunderstand the black nightmare, you misunderstand the meaning of fear.
Fear is not a simple torture, but a test of the brave.
Overcome the fearful and will be rewarded by the demons for gaining powerful magical powers.
Sweat was dripping from Elrez's forehead, and he shouted, "What nonsense! ”
You make black nightmares fear you, make everyone afraid of you, that's your mistake, you are used to making humans tremble in front of angels, does that make you satisfied? Without this sense of contentment, this sense of superiority, you are just an empty shell.
And you've given me strength from it,
The strength of my past.
Elrez's eyes widened, he turned his head and looked into the blind spot of his vision, seeing nothing. He tried his best to release the light, but the darkness retreated before the light, but it could not dispel the wavering in his heart.
The Black Nightmare is here, but where is he?
Elrez had a Holy Light Protector, and even if he was attacked, he still had plenty of room to fight back, but he involuntarily retreated and found a wall to lean against to prevent demons from appearing behind him. He told himself, "It's just a trick of the devil, and the devil thinks it can break my mind, but how can the spirit of an angel be comparable to that of a human being?" ”
He found that the humans had disappeared, perhaps they had fled in the chaos, or they might have taken refuge in a corner where the light did not shine. Mortals, such humble and ridiculous creatures, are toyed with by demons, and even avoid the salvation of the angels of the upper realm.
He stepped on a corpse, also dressed in holy clothes and with beautiful wings, with a large piece of flesh missing from his throat and his body shattered.
It's a dead angel.
Not only that, but Elrez hurriedly looked up, and found himself in a valley of angelic corpses, the horrific death of his fellow kind occupied his sight, and the wind sang lamentations, sending the bloody breath of his fellow citizens into his nostrils.
He couldn't hold back his trembling, and he pinched the handle of his weapon, so hard that his nails scratched his palm.
Is this an illusion?
No, it's memory.
Memories of the killing.
Elrez saw a black dragon in the sky, as if across the entire universe, and under the dragon, countless whales floated in the air.
Behemoth Belel, the fallen angel archduke of the Abyssal Sea.
At the top of the hillside, he saw a black fallen angel, who was wearing a wolf-shaped helmet, and the armor on his body was like a black wolf's blood-stained hair, standing upside down with murderous intent.
The fallen angel seemed to smile and led Errez into death, saying, "I am the Black Nightmare Encharil, the general of Belle, the butcher of the angels. ”
Welcome to the canteen in Belette.
Elrez grunted in his throat, and he felt that Encharil's laughter was gentle, and he couldn't help but get closer, but suddenly, he realized that something was wrong, and let out a scream that almost broke his throat, and he burrowed into the pile of corpses, using his warhammer to try to dig a passage for him to escape.
And so the whole hill collapsed.
Elrez fell hard, his legs were weak, and he couldn't stand up. He realized that what he had just seen was indeed a hallucination, but that the hallucination was so real that he was actually hurt by the hallucination.
The black nightmare was behind Elrez, and Elrez felt it very really, but—no, he was there, on the left, on the right, he was everywhere. Elrez covered his mouth, and like a child hiding from the murderer, he didn't dare to speak out for fear of being discovered. He may have been discovered, but this was his last hope.
This is the truth, angel.
You are far inferior to humans.
Human beings are weak, but they have courage, they open up unknown worlds, and compose a hymn to courage.
You're not fearless, you're just not exposed to fear.
You're not brave, you're just never scared.
You're not immortal, you just don't know what death is.
You are not holy, because I used to claim to be holy.
Let the nightmare peel away the layers of lies that envelop you, let you open your eyes, let you see through the fog, let you witness history, and let you know the truth from the beginning.
The cold and inescapable truth.
Angels are only my prey, without weapons, with bare hands, and even with their bodies covered,
Each angel faced the darkness with trepidation and ushered in death.
....
When the Black Nightmare bites Elrez's throat, Elrez tries to resist, but his power is too small in front of the Black Nightmare, and the Black Nightmare draws full nourishment from his fears, which makes Elrez weak and pitiful.
He took a bite of a large piece, and the smell was.... Vomit.
But I stopped the Black Nightmare from eating Elrez because it made me sick, at least I'm not that perverted, and I'd better take it easy in front of Lamia.
A golden chain from nowhere tied Elrez, who had almost lost his soul, was rescued by a strong companion, along with the four Royalist Hunting Gods.
Elrez isn't the only angel of the royalists, and it's a bit of a problem.
I was back to me, and Lamia immediately jumped up and hugged me. The Prime Minister's Party seemed to have become stupid in excessive panic, and they stared at me with the same expression, and they did not slow down for a minute.
The storm god trembled, "You... What exactly? ”
The Echo God added, "You... Where did it come from? ”
I smiled and said, "These are stupid questions, let's talk about something meaningful, like the fire of the living corpse of the Ancestor." ”
