XVIII. The Sea of Behemoths
The tall angel pointed to the Phantasmal God and said, "Thanks to Miss Entley, we have learned of your intentions. ”
Mir shouted, "Despicable fellow, you've been eavesdropping on us? ”
Entley retorted loudly: "For the Queen! The secrets below must not fall into your hands. ”
Tall Angel: "More precisely, we intend to put these secrets to good use." The humans of the past were as ignorant and arrogant as the humans of today, but at least they had the capital of arrogance, and some of their creations were very impressive, which helped us to fight the demons. ”
He stared at me when he said "demon".
It was clear that Elrez was not healed from his injuries, but he still managed to follow him, most likely coerced by the tall angel, and he shouted, "Mandarogo, watch out for this demon, he was called 'Encharil' before he fell, and I have seen him kill countless of his fellow citizens. ”
Mandarogo sighed, "And we always thought we were out of these troubles, didn't we? He lifted the chains, and Storm God's face was reddened and his eyes were bloodshot, but there was no room for struggle. Mandarogo said: "If you don't want her to die, give up resistance. ”
Lamia shouted, "You angels are also interested in kidnapping hostages? ”
Mandarogo: "I'm not in favor of a head-on confrontation with demons, after all, demons are a bunch of shameless people, so it's okay to use some means, isn't it?" ”
Mill said bitterly, "Don't... Leave me! ”
Mandarogo strangled Mill tighter, Mir's nose was bleeding, and Mandarogo said, "It's hopeless that humans are so grateful to the devil that they are willing to sacrifice themselves, isn't it?" ”
The bastard's mantra is "isn't it", and with his usual sarcastic tone, it's really infuriating.
I took on the form of a black nightmare, the aether in the air that made my body ache like a burn, but it was bearable, and these angels couldn't.
Mandarogo's eyes flashed with vigilance, his breathing changed slightly, and he said, "This is the Fallen who defeated you, Elrez, isn't it?" ”
Elrez's soul was already imprinted with fear of the black nightmare Encharil, and in an instant, he trembled violently, as if he was about to retreat to an open and bright place, and the hunters who followed him were also deeply panicked, and their bodies tensed.
Mandarogo laughed, "It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous, no...."
Before he could finish speaking, the Black Nightmare had followed the horror of Elrez, appeared behind Mandarogo, he waved his claws, Mandarogo screamed in pain, blood stained his back, but his body was very hard, only a slight injury, he turned around, and in his hand was a green wheel blade, which was the kind of plate that was very sharp around, and he threw the plate at the face of Black Nightmare.
The Black Nightmare dodged the wheel blade and slashed Mir's chains with another claw. He grabbed Mandarogo by the wrist and threw the silverwinged angel to the side, the angel slamming into the metal wall with a deep dent and a sound echoing everywhere. The Black Nightmare throws Mir to Lamia, who catches it safely.
Elrez watched the Black Nightmare save people, and did not dare to move, the flame god ignited fire in his hand, intending to attack, but Lamia shot at him, his flame shield blocked a bullet, and Lamia's next bullet flew precisely to the same place, hitting him in the leg, and the flame god fell to his knees in pain.
Mandarogo's face was gloomy, and his chains swelled tenfold, and he fell like a giant pillar towards the Black Nightmare, who hid, but Lamia was behind him, and he had to raise his palm, and the heavy impact shattered the iron plate below, making a loud squeak, deafening, and Lamia and Mir were blown by the wind, screaming in unison, and landed at the end of the door to the laboratory.
Mandarogo manipulated the chains, and the black nightmare was entangled in the chains, and the silver light on the chains skyrocketed, and the black nightmare felt a sharp pain all over his body, and hissed and roared. Mandarogo said, "This is the light of divine punishment!" Death to the fallen! ”
But the darkness of the Black Nightmare corroded the chains, and he burst with strength, breaking them and merging them into the darkness. The chains in Mandarogo's hand kept turning, and so did the blade of the wheel in his other hand.
The black nightmare flashed behind Mandarogo again, Mandarogo did not turn around, his wings fluttered, and he hit the black nightmare, the black nightmare withstood this move, the claws quickly counterattacked, Mandalorian snorted, put away the chains, the wheel blade flew in the palm, the two switched attack and defense several times, and the fight was tied for a while.
Mandarogo's strength is not superior to Elrez's, but his mental strength is stronger, his moves are more ingenious, and he is older than Elrez. The fear of the black nightmare has increased, and it has become more powerful, and the movements are like ghosts.
The dark nightmare faded into the shadows, and Mandarogo made several attempts, all of which ended in failure. Mandarogo sighed and stretched out a finger, the blade swirling around his fingertips, and circles of silver light appeared in the air one after another, these circles of light were like meat grinders, and even the lava demon would be hit hard in an instant.
He said, "What's wrong?" Demon, are you scared? And it's no wonder. ”
He took a few steps, rolled his gaze, and said, "Of course, you are cowardly, aren't you?" The more scared you are, the stronger your strength becomes, what kind of spell is this? Shrinking turtles? You've scared the hell out of Elrez, but in my eyes, it's just a little trick to carve insects. ”
The sight in Mandarogo's eyes became cruel and miserable, and he, like Elrez, traveled to the ancient battlefield strewn with corpses, and saw the black wolf-like fallen angel on the hillside. He had been on guard against this for a long time, and smiled: "Nightmare? That's all you're up to, isn't it? ”
Black Nightmare replied, "No.
No one is an island, and angels are no exception.
You have a connection with the outside world, your soul, your body, this human being that you possess, your mission in the human world.
Do you know? You're like the tip of Leviathan's fin on the surface of the sea, and you think you're all there, but below, the beast is carrying you, and the millions of people you're connected with, cruising and devouring the sea.
The ocean, the collection of countless souls, the space of the human mind, is called the Sea of Dreams.
The Leviathan, the beast of the deep, the behemoth that carries you and makes you unaware of the dangers of the sea, is called the Web of Madness.
You're in the woods where I hunt, you're in the web of madness, angel, you're my prey. ”
Mandarogo's body shook, and he forced his spirits and courage together, he knew that this was nothing more than an illusion, and the dark nightmare was waiting for the moment when he collapsed. If you are deceived by that whisper, defeat is inevitable.
Mandarogo had experienced the Angelic War, and although he was on another battlefield, he experienced enough cruelty to keep him from being cornered by the Nightmare.
He said, "I will find your lair, Disha. ”
His chains vibrated and changed direction, directing his way, and he left the mound and entered a thick, labyrinthine wood, filled with fireflies, whose faint light gave Mandarogo a sense of hope ahead.
The nest of the Nightmare Dream is ahead.
A cabin in the woods.
Looking at the glimmer of light in the quiet cabin, Mandarogo had goosebumps on his body, dozens of silver wheels and blades were still turning dutifully with him, he knew that the weakness of the black nightmare was here, and he finally found it.
You've gone too deep, angel.
Mandarogo smiled and replied, "This leaves you cornered, doesn't it, demon." ”
You don't know anything about the human soul.
Mandarogo: "I know the theory of the Fallen: 'Humanity united, with infinite potential, can even reach the realm of God and regain the glory of the Creator.'" 'Put away this nonsense, your failures, the destruction of humanity, have proved you wrong! I've seen the human mind, and the shallowness makes me laugh, doesn't it? ”
That's true for shallow thinking, but what about deep ones?
Further into the depths, to the depths of the sea, reason and morality will give way to wildness and madness. It was a wild place, a primordial place, a gathering point of darkness, a lair of wild beasts.
Here, nature is untamed.
Here, there is no protection.
Here, danger abounds.
Here, the gods are far away.
But here, you get lost, and I'm home.
Mandarogo shouted, "Let your tongue be as skillful, but you will not dare to fight me!" ”
God has given wildness, and man has reaped foolishness.
The devil gives wisdom, and man reaps madness.
You're using a human body, after all.
Mandarogo suddenly noticed that his infinite blades were becoming unusually sluggish, and he let out an "ah" and wanted to send out more wheels, but he couldn't.
There was a woman crying in the cabin in the woods, and in the middle of the night, the cry was very clear, and it was creepy.
Another child was saying, "Mommy, what are you crying about?" Why do you have a knife in your hand? Mom? Father... Daddy, where is the other? ”
Mandarogo's heart was furious, he seemed to be the child in the house, looking at his mother, completely puzzled by his mother's actions, but the unknown made him dizzy.
Mandarogo said angrily, "Human! Humans are dragging me down! ”
The Black Nightmare said, "You have forcibly taken possession of this human body, but you do not know his soul, you do not know his past, the tragedy he witnessed. ”
He has weaknesses.
Mandarogo was suddenly caught in a blizzard, the snow was so cold that it covered his knees, and he wanted to fly into the sky, but his wings were frozen.
Mandarogo finally realized why he had failed.
The black nightmare has been combined with the human soul for too long, and he has always only oppressed and used the human soul.
The demon made a pact with the human race, and he only forcibly conquered the human race.
In the depths of the human soul, in that combination of thoughts, there is infinite mana.
Black nightmares can manipulate that power, create illusions, and have an impact on reality, producing so-called nightmares.
There is simply nothing you can do about it.
The Black Nightmare shattered all of Mandarogo's defenses, his claws piercing Mandarogo's chest, tearing at his throat.
In an instant, the illusion vanished, Mandalo's blood spurted out of his mouth, his body.... He wasn't really hurt by the nightmare, but the pain was so real that he was bleeding profusely inside.
He said, "This... It's the hell of the earth..."
The Black Nightmare rushes towards Mandarogo, this time it is not a hallucination, he will end Mandarogo's life in an instant.
Mandarogo gritted his teeth and stood up, he knew he couldn't stop it, he knew he was going to die, but for some reason, he didn't want to give up.
He remembered that there was a mission, a mission from God.
He shouted like a human frantically, "Come on, demon! Come on! Then go for it! ”
