Chapter 389: Illusion (5)

That's the daughter of love. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

Glenn stepped back and looked away, realizing that the Daughter of Love, like the Mage, was sensitive to the gaze of others, and that there was a monster that was dangerous from every angle.

Before retreating completely into a hidden crevice, the thief threw one last look, an action that made him sincerely regret it for a long time afterward Unexpectedly, even in this cold situation, the daughter of love, who was still dressed in silk robes and was not affected by it in any way, suddenly trembled, she was not even as good as Mei Mi in the face of such a monster, Mei Mi would at least run and scream, and she would just stand there stupidly, until the tentacles of the monster covered her body like an eruption, and she struggled as if she had woken up from a big dream. Silver-blue light burst out of her mouth and eyes, burning some of the tentacles, and she took the opportunity to get rid of them, but before she could do more, the enraged "messenger" of Kawuluxe jerked open his mouth, or rather, something resembling a mouth.

The head that once belonged to the priest was broken from the nose (approximately) into two parts, each full of sharp and small teeth- Gülen had eaten a large turtle in the Dragonfire Islands, the meat was delicious, and the locals would cut off its head, which could be used as a torture instrument after drying, and the thieves did not know what it meant at first, but then the men pried open the turtle's mouth to show him, starting from the tip of the parrot's hard beak and ending deep in the throat, it was full of dense, chilling barbs that the turtle had grown out of its favorite slippery jellyfish from slipping out of its mouth - what Gülen saw now was the so-called "mouth" that resembled this structureOnly the barbs were much larger, and they were like the tip of a short dagger, deeply embedded in the body of the Daughter of Love, causing her to let out a cry of pain.

Glenn's body shuddered violently.

More tentacles poured up, almost obliterating the Daughter of Love who had fallen to the ground, and they clung to the fat prey like human hands, and in spite of her struggles and cries, they sent her to the hideous "mouth" - perhaps the monster could have bitten off the neck or waist of the Daughter of Love, and let her die of being wounded or bleeding too much, but he didn't, he could have enjoyed this rare delicacy with a slow and methodical attitude, every time his "mouth" Reluctantly leaving from the graceful body of the daughter of love, they only took away some scattered flesh and skin, exposing the fat and muscles underneath, and the woman's attractive body soon became disgusting and ugly, and the daughter of love was still screaming, but this cry soon became intermittent and weak.

The thief knew he ought to look away, but he couldn't, he thought the love in his heart would quickly disappear when he saw Memie's body turn into a skinless lump of flesh, but he found himself praying desperately, to any god he knew, and a part of his hope for the Daughter of Love— Since she is the embodiment of Flo, then she may have a way out of this predicament, and Fro is a goddess who loves beauty and hates ugliness, and maybe she will also make this body that is fortunate enough to be temporarily occupied by her perfect again.

The Daughter of Love did want to get out of this state of embarrassment and disgust, but the way she did not see it was what Glenn had seen—as Gülen watched, Memi's body suddenly flicked, her arms hung limply, her eyes closed, and from her mouth, eyes, ears, and every pore overflowed with a silver-blue light, which was not as dazzling as she had been when she had been a weapon, but rather a little dim, the "messenger" of Kawuluxe Stepping back a little, his tentacles still firmly gripping his prey, he remembered the pain the points of light had inflicted on him - but this time he was unharmed, and the points of light coalesced together in an instant, condensing into a small female figure above the monster and the body. Seeing all of this, Glenn and the monster erupted into a furious roar at about the same time.

The Daughter of Love, the incarnation of Flo, left her priest, a body that could no longer help her, leaving Memi in the mouth of a monster.

Glenn wanted to rush out, to stab the Daughter of Love in the chest with his dagger, whatever the hell she was, but he found that his body was stiff and unable to move, and he looked at the monster, whose tentacles only hit the cold air - and Flo's avatar had long since dissipated and fled, leaving Kawu's "messenger" Caught in a state of rage, he no longer tasted so carefully tentatively but devoured it unscrupulously, each of those sharp little teeth could take away a large piece of flesh on the woman's body, Glenn once again heard a desperate and painful cry, but this time the cry was so familiar, after the incarnation of the god who occupied the body left, Mei Mi, who was lucky not to be annihilated by the will of the god, regained control of the body, but what was the use? Her gods wouldn't listen to her prayers, and who could pray when her chest and abdomen were torn open, exposing her bones and guts? Perhaps, but that person wouldn't be Meme.

Memmy breathed with all her last strength, and as the messenger of Kauhae busily pulled out her liver, her upper body was tilted, her face was facing Glenn, the thief did not know if she had found herself, but he could see her eyes, they were so bright and familiar, full of pain and unwillingness, she was like the last flame jumping on the branch of a tree about to be extinguished, and when you thought it was about to be extinguished, it burned even more violently- She was suffering terrible torture, but she still gasped, unwilling to choose a death that would end it all in an instant.

What beautiful jewel eyes they were, and Gülen had kissed them countless times. He wanted to wave his arm and throw the dagger and take his lover back from the monster's mouth, but he just stood there, unable to lift a finger, the dagger on his chest was uncharacteristically cold, not shaking or doing anything else that would indicate that it was different from a normal weapon, but the thief knew that it was taking control of his body, and he cursed it loudly in his heart, and the man who had awakened it.

"That's not good. A voice buzzed in his head, sounding more like the rattle of a dagger than a man speaking: "You're cursing a venerable being, it's dangerous." ”

"Let go of me!" Gülen cried inwardly.

"I just want you to calm down. The voice said, "Do you really think you can deal with a monster like this? He's the 'messenger' of Kawuha, it's his ears, his eyes, his mouth, his strength, it's just a little bit, but it's enough to fight a dragon, what do you think you'll do if you rush out?" Dagger laughed twice in that unbearable tone: "There will be nothing else, you will not be able to save your dwarf, not even yourself, you will not have even a companion by your side, he can easily grab you and tear you to pieces, or, if he wills, he can let you taste all the pain before you can go to the mourning wasteland." ”

"Me too. The thief said in his heart, "I will too, and when I get out of here, I will give you to Cremar." ”

"A not-so-wise choice," the voice continued, " I really don't understand why you would give up on such a woman, she is not the most beautiful, Glenn is not the smartest, she has no status, no wealth, no power, not even the most basic chastity, you don't even dare to guarantee that the child she gives birth to is not yours, there are priests like this everywhere, well, even if you are in pity and empathy, anyway, your mother is also a Floro priest, but every Floro priest has a similar experience, and Memmy will not be the first, nor will she be the last。 Maybe you'll meet another one, or a hundred, as soon as you step out of the Far North, and think about it, and you'll think you're ridiculous at that time - even more ridiculous if you die here, or become a cripple. ”

"I gave her a promise. ”

"Hey!" said the voice contemptuously, "a thief's promise is as comical as a prostitute's vow, and you are a thief, a seasoned thief, and you should not make such a mistake." And ......" The voice paused, as if to hear some kind of call, Gülen looked forward, and he saw the dead Meimi, her jewel eyes were still wide open, her lips were open, as if she was still calling for help to her lover, but she was gone from the neck down, leaving only some broken internal organs and bone fragments, and now the monster was devouring her beautiful long legs: "It seems that everything is a little late." The voice gloated.

"Are you still going out?" the voice asked, "but unless you're a god, it's all going to be useless." ”

The power that bound the thief relaxed, and he could move again, but he could not rush out as he imagined and thought, and angrily plunged the dagger into the monster's body, and he just stood there, and stood there, and stood there, and stood there—the "messenger" of Kauhae It was only after a long time that he slowly lifted his invisibility, and came out of the shadows, and walked to the traces left by Memi, and the monster finally swallowed Meme's head, and there was nothing left on the ground except frozen blood and debris, Glenn knelt down, pressed his hands on the ground, he groped, he didn't know what he was looking for, even in the darkness he could see things in front of his eyes, he thought he was crying, but when he stroked his cheek, he found that it was very dry。

In the end, he only found two fingers, perhaps because they were too small to be discarded by the monster, and the thieves grabbed them, and the cold tiny column went from his palm to his heart.

"I'll remember. He said, grabbing his dagger.

The voice burst out laughing, "The gods are above," it cried, "what do you think I am!" and it screamed in Gülen's head, "do you think I'm the stupid dagger?"

Glenn tensed his body suddenly: "What are you?!"

"I am you," the voice said sweetly, "it is you, Glenn, I am you, your sanity, your coldness, your most loyal friend, your part of the thieves," it said, "remember the head of the candle that was placed on the table?"

With that, it vanished, leaving only the thieves alone.

The light around him suddenly ceased to be so dim, and the thief looked up, and then he stood up in confusion, for he found that the fingers clenched in his hand were gone, and the blood and debris of unrecognizable shapes and types were gone, but he saw the cane, or splinter, adorned with feathers and silk, which had broken into several pieces, and fell liltingly in the shadow of an ice shoot.

He asked, but no one or voice answered him, and he drew his dagger, which was as quiet as if nothing had ever been out of the ordinary, and he called out to his other self, but nothing was answered.

Is it an illusion, or is it real? If so, when did it begin? Did the Daughter of Love really walk in and be devoured by the "messenger" of Kawuha, or did the "messenger" of Kawuha never appear here in the first place?

The thief put the dagger back where it came, chose a direction and walked out.

Maybe everything that happened to him was false, but only one thing was true, and that was that he did abandon his lover.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The dwarf McGee crawled forward slowly, not walking, not running, but crawling, because he still had an elf on his back.

The elf's body is as light as a big bird, and although the gnomes look like human toddlers, they are actually no less powerful than an adult human, so even if they carry the elves on their backs, McGee is not very difficult, not to mention that every time they walk out, they will take a break and share the jerky and elven snow - of course, McGee eats more.

The scent of snow honey spread far and wide in the dark corridors, but fortunately it didn't attract any tricky enemies, except for some small insects, when McGee put the jerky dipped in snow honey in his mouth, he could eat two or three small insects in each bite, at first he would spit them out, and finally simply chew them together and eat them, anyway, this is also meat, very small meat, but maybe it is the relationship that the insects will also relay news to each other, and every time they stop to rest, the insects will be more and bigger than the last time.

McGee screamed.

"What's wrong?" the elf asked, for some reason, but McGee always felt that his tone was a little cold, perhaps because he was neither his old friend nor his clansman.

"There's bugs biting me. McGee said, putting his finger in his mouth, the bug bit off a small piece of flesh, and he sucked on the blood.

"Then let's go. The elf said.

As McGee carried the elves on his back again, the bugs realized that the sounds they made as they crawled or flew had become a little too loud and dense - the gnomes hoped it was just their own delusion. (To be continued.) )
