Chapter 34: Escape from Death

How cold and gray the dawn was, and the sound of footsteps on the stone slabs broke the silence of the morning. Luna is awakened by the sound of heavy footsteps, it seems that the guards have arrived, and it seems that the time for execution has come.

Luna pretends to be sleepy-eyed, but she also pretends to be a little tired, which is not difficult because the food they prepared for Luna is still on the table, and they are sure to know that Luna hasn't eaten in a long time. Luna lies on the ground with her head down, her face facing the ground.

Then the cell was pushed open, and a group of guards walked in, grabbed Luna's arm, pulled me out, and dragged me all the way down the gray hallway. Luna stares at the ground beneath her feet, where the sign of a six-pointed star is emblem.

The hallway leads to a spacious hall where a window opens. Luna gradually regained her consciousness in the fresh air, and she gently raised her head to look at the majestic snow-capped mountains beyond the stone pillars. She knew where she was: she was now on top of a tower.

The guards pull Luna up, and Luna suddenly breaks free of the guards' grasp. The guards took a step back in fright, and the spears in their hands were aimed at her with a "brush". Yesterday's captain was standing not far from Luna, holding a noose.

"You're really backbone." The captain said, motioning for his men to back off and make room for Luna and him, "But you're just a dog with its claws removed, and I'd be happy to give you a treat." ”

Luna leans slightly to the side to face the captain. He looked at Luna with satisfaction, and Luna's slight movement made the guards around her nervous, and their weapons tightened tighter.

Compared to the mercy of his men, this captain is much bolder. He looked up to the sky and laughed, "Haha! Come, when I hang you, I'll cut off your head and hang it on the top of here for your friends! ”

"Maybe your plan won't go so smoothly and you won't be able to say it." Luna said coldly.

"Oh?" The captain smiled, "Then let's change the way we die." "There's a bat roost down there in this castle, or ......," he touched his chin, "I'll send you there to see how many days your blood can be drunk by them?" ”

Luna ignored him and slowly moved forward, every nerve in Luna's body tensed. Behind the pillar stood a gallows made of six rough planks, about ten feet long and four feet wide, which had been rendered unstable by the erosion of time.

"That's right." The captain bent down and made a very unfriendly "please" gesture.

Luna breathed a sigh of relief, and continued on her way, the weight of Luna and the captain crunching the old planks beneath her feet, and the cold wind around her.

Luna looked up at the mountains and the sky, and the same falcon from last night reappeared in the sky, hovering fifty to a hundred feet below Luna with its soft white wings, and the howl of a wolf could be heard from the cliffs beneath her feet.

That's when another thing happened.

Luna turned her head to the side, and on another platform less than ten feet away from her, a woman in white was standing, the same woman who had watched Luna yesterday.

Luna held her breath as she noticed that the woman was turning to face her, she was wearing a white robe as before, and she gestured to Luna......

In an instant, the woman vanished again, and the cold wind and fluttering snowflakes obscured Luna's vision once more, and Luna looked back to see that the eagle was gone.

The captain held the slipknot noose, "I don't know when your corpse will be eaten by the vultures." ”

Luna didn't speak, and a group of guards walked behind the captain, who himself put the noose around her neck and tightened it tightly.

"Goodbye, Black Wolf!" The captain ordered, then prepared to touch Luna's shoulder.

Now is the time!

The moment the captain's hand touched her shoulder, Luna jerked her elbow and struck her back! The metal casing of the PS armor slammed into his face, and the captain screamed miserably and staggered back a few steps. Before his men could react, Luna grabbed the end of the noose and wrapped it around the captain's neck, then jumped down.

The captain didn't have time to untie the rope, and as she fell, the captain fell to the wooden platform with a "thud", Luna's hand gripped the noose around her neck tightly, trying to make sure it didn't break her neck.

Luna looked up to see the captain grappling with both hands, struggling to get away with death. Luna tugged down the rope a few times until there was a cracking sound on the plank above her.

Why didn't the soldiers cut the rope, could it be that the captain would rather sacrifice himself than put Luna to death? Luna's strength slowly relaxed, it was the second time I had been on the noose, and the painful breath was re-entering her brain.

Will she really die here?

Just as Luna was about to lose consciousness, her blurred vision saw a flickering light coming from a nearby hill, and then the rope broke, and she looked up to find an arrow on the wall behind her where she had been hanging, and she realized that she had been rescued.

However, a problem arises in front of Luna.

She quickly fell from a great height, what to do? This was not a big deal in free fall, she struggled desperately in the air, trying to straighten herself and fall to the only scaffolding that could save her life next to her, and the more she struggled, the faster she fell.

Just as Luna was flustered, her hand suddenly glowed, it was the light from the "Gryffindin" bracelet, and then a barrier spread from the inside out of her hand, and then her body lost the speed of its fall, and Luna stopped in mid-air.

What's going on here? A window popped up from under Luna's neck that read, "Gryffind's anti-gravity system activated." ”

Luna was a little incredulous, she looked around, she floated steadily in the air, as if there was a hand holding her firmly underneath, the anti-gravity force was really magical, thinking that Luna stretched her hand towards the scaffold on the right, her body moved to the scaffold, and then she landed steadily.

The anti-gravity system was incredible, which surprised her a little. But now was not the time for her to be surprised, as the guards above her were condescending to see Luna's every move, and they hurriedly threw everything they could throw around them, intending to knock Luna back into the abyss.

At this moment, Luna's other hand flashed with light, and several inexplicable circles emerged from the other bracelet, and stones and pieces of wood flew down like raindrops, but all of them lost their power to fall above her body, and the drops lost their power on the top of Luna's head, and then floated inside, and then I found that my body was surrounded by a ring of layers, like a structure of atoms and molecules.

Curious, Luna raised her bracelet-held hand and pointed at the platform above, and a moment later, the stone reflected back at the gallows above, hitting the plank that was about to break, and several soldiers were hit and fell into the abyss with screams.

Luna's curiosity turned to some pleasure, but now was not the time to be happy, she had to run, because the people above had returned something bigger to throw away.

Not long after Luna saw this, she hurriedly ran away, and then threw herself down the steep slope on the opposite side. With the help of "Gryffin", Luna manages to jump over.

When she landed, the system of "Gryffin" turned off, and Luna fell heavily to the ground, fortunately she ran just now, and before she could react and regain her balance, she rolled down the slope, and after rolling for a while, Luna spread her legs sideways to slow down the speed of the slide, and gradually controlled the direction, she found the opposite platform, and in the next moment, if she couldn't jump this time, then she had to jump again in the next life. She was descending too fast, and Luna couldn't control it, and the only way to solve this dilemma was to stay calm, and Luna had to use that composure to successfully jump to the other side and stop.

Luna looked sideways, she was drawn to a place, and a sudden thought came to her brain: how old was this platform? The platform beneath her feet, so narrow that it could only be passed by one person, was so deep that the sound of the fierce river crashing against the reef could only be heard. She shuddered for three minutes with every movement of the platform, how long had it been since the platform had borne the weight of pedestrians?

The erosion of time had rotted it, and Luna looked around to find a crack about two feet behind her, and as soon as she turned, the crack widened rapidly, and the boards on both sides continued to crumble, and the broken pieces of wood continued to fall into the dark abyss.

Luna was stunned by the sight, there was no way back behind her, and she immediately realized what was about to happen. Luna immediately turned and crawled up, and here she was, her armor regaining momentum, helping her speed up to the side of her body, and she scurried down the slope desperately towards the castle gate on the other side. Twenty meters away, the planks of the place where Luna ran were cracking.

Just as she was five meters away, the platform beneath Luna's feet suddenly collapsed, and she lost her freedom in the air like a bird that had been hit in the wings, and Luna fell.

It's over, it's really going to be over this time, just when Luna is desperate, her hand is suddenly grabbed, Luna looks up, it's Alice, she's coming, she grabs Luna's hand at this last moment.

"Alice?" Luna was confused, but also happy.

Alice's expression struggled, and I felt her hands tremble, but she held me tightly, and she pulled the armed Luna out of the abyss with all her might, and when she got up, the two of them fell to the cool floor inside, listening to the sound of other planks falling into the water.

After surviving death, Luna's mind goes blank and she lies motionless on the ground. There was silence all around, with only a slight breeze blowing.
