"Master, be careful!!"

Cethia suddenly screamed.

Xia felt that something suddenly appeared above his head, and he forcibly stopped the forward trend; Then he dragged Cethia to the side, and an orange tentacle stabbed down from the sky, smashing the ground below her.

The ground began to shake, and cracks stretched out of the surface, slowly raising a mountain peak from beneath their feet.

Rubble poured out of the cracked ground and rolled wildly everywhere; Natsu knew that the situation was not good, but every time she tried to move the spatial passage to her side, a tentacle would volley in the air, blocking her and Cethea, forcing her to retreat.

These tentacles have large suction cups on them that look somewhat like the feet of an octopus and a squid; But if that's the case, then the size of this octopus (squid) is a little too terrifying.

"Sercia, let's go to heaven!"

Xia pulled Lori and flew high into the air, but then found that the air was full of tentacles, and the area had been enclosed, and finally had to return to the stone pillar.

"Bang bang bang!!" As they dodged, countless gaps burst through the bulge, and orange-yellow tentacles burst out of them, supporting the surrounding of the peak.

Then the hill, which had been covered with earth and rock, suddenly collapsed, and many glowing eyes lit up from inside.

Not all of these eyes were open, some of them were still slightly squinted, as if they had just woken up, but without exception, they all shone crimson from within, and they looked extremely strange under the dark night sky.

"There are twenty-four eyes!"

Xia had also been paying attention to the changes around her while dodging, and instantly counted the number of those eyes.

"What is this, Abyss Demon?"

She felt a strong dose of dark magic pouring out from below, much like the aura of the abyssal demon Raktoya on Necronomicon Island, but that alone was not a basis for judgment.

At this moment, the huge body in the darkness moved.

It streaked across Natsu's front like a fortress, blocking her and Cethea's path, and then countless tentacles came across the air, trapping them inside.

"Master, it's the big monster!"

Cethea's body was attached to Natsu's spirit body, and she could be seen shaking.

"Don't panic."

At this time, Xia calmed down:

"This guy isn't as scary as I thought, just leave it to me."

"But master, it's too big, and you're in this state now......"

Cethia hugged her worriedly, and said fearfully:

"Otherwise, you better hand me back, and then we surrender to each other together, and I will negotiate with the big monster so that it does not hurt your consciousness."

"There's no need."

Xia suddenly turned his head to look at her and smiled:

"The so-called size is just an illusion it gives us...... Unfortunately, since I came back from the world of memory, I didn't feel much about illusions. ”

"Smack!"

Perhaps it was her words that angered the other party, and a tentacle came at her from top to bottom, hitting her right on the top of the head.

However, Xia Na's small blue body didn't even shake, and a white light burst out from her head, dissolving the unstoppable attack lightly.

"Master, you ......"

Cethea looked at the sight in amazement, almost unable to believe her eyes:

"You...... Is it already a god? ”

"I guess my current stage can be regarded as a 'quasi-god'."

Xia used a vague concept to interpret his strength:

"I have some of the power of a god, but I am weaker than a true god...... But I have some special tools that might be able to bridge the gap a bit. ”

"Would you like to see it with your own eyes?"

She turned around and looked at Cethea, who looked shocked:

"What do you think of this guy in front of you?"

"Although it is a phantom, it has the power of a deep sea demon in our consciousness, if you are not a god, this spirit clone alone will definitely be defeated by it!"

Cethea shook her head desperately, looking disagreeing with her approach.

"Deep Sea Demons?"

Hearing this name, which was somewhat similar to that of the Abyss Demon, Xia suddenly remembered Maurius's description:

"Personally, I feel that the disappearance of the Eternal Kingdom is likely to be related to the deep sea demons." That's what Uncle Black Knife said at the beginning:

"Avalon, the vast ocean world; There is a book that says that the kingdom was built on the bottom of the sea, and there are huge monsters that even the gods can tremble, and they can eat demons and dragons like fish in the sea, click! Just bite it in two.

"Could this be Avalon?"

"- It looks like land, but it's actually at the bottom of the sea?"

She looked up at the sky without stars and moons, and she always felt a little strange, after all, there was no sea water to be seen here.

Stephanie also mentioned to her about the place of Avalon:

"Master, the Avalon you mentioned at the last time, we seem to have it here! However, Avalon here is not an elven country, but a terrifying sea world, where it is rumored to have a huge monster that even the gods will tremble at the sight of it, looking a little like an octopus, with seventy-two eyes on its head......"

This is what the little Lori in black said in her ear at that time.

"Looks a little like an octopus......"

Xia carefully looked at the tooth-baring troll in front of him, and how he thought it matched Stephanie's description.

"But this guy only has twenty-four eyes, which is a bit far from the seventy-two that Stephanie said."

"Crunch ......"

The huge octopus-like monster made a grinding sound from its mouth and began to approach her with a wave of countless tentacles.

"Master, while it hasn't been provoked yet, let's surrender as soon as possible!"

Cethia hugged her and said anxiously:

"I've been with it for a long time and know it very well......"

"Oh, yes."

Xia said noncommittally:

"Get behind me first."

She said this in a commanding tone, and Cethea sensitively noticed the change in her attitude, and the expression on her face changed for a while, and finally obeyed her request.

"Execution is worse than Erin's, and there are signs of disobedience."

Noticing this detail, Xia's heart suddenly brightened:

"There must be something wrong with this Sethea."

"But that's okay, although the other party is very powerful, they use the field I am best at now to deal with me...... Let's see what a real clash of spirits looks like! ”

"Nameless Sword Technique!"

Her spirit body symbolically closed her eyes and grasped the transparent hilt of her sword with her hand.

In fact, the spirit body itself doesn't need to do this, but she wants to put on a show right now, how can she not act like this?

"This is her best sword skill."

Thesia, who was quietly observing her, thought to herself:

"But it didn't work...... It is impossible for the strongest swordsman in the human race to break through the defenses of the deep sea demons, although it is powerful, now you have fallen into the illusion; In your subconscious, the octopus in front of you has at least one-third of the power of the deep sea demon! ”

Her emotions gradually settled down:

"Even if you are a quasi-god, there is no hope of victory."

Just as she relaxed, the sky suddenly burst into flames.

A loud dragon roar rang out from the sky, and a large dark cloud seemed to float through the air, looming over everyone's heads.

The octopus troll's body shook, and it raised its head to look at the dark sky, its red eyes full of surprise.

I saw a flash of thunder in the dark clouds, and thunder and lightning slashed down from the air, and then a terrifying head stretched out in the clouds, staring at it with a pair of golden vertical pupils.

"Impossible! How can there be dragons here! ”

Cecia cried out, her voice full of fear.

As soon as the words fell, the clouds were torn apart by a sharp claw, and the black dragon body and wings large enough to obscure the sky appeared from within, and pounced on the octopus monster below.

The octopus let out a piercing roar, sending a large net of tentacles towards the black dragon's body.

But as soon as it made contact, the tentacles that seemed to be tightly knit were ruthlessly torn apart by the dragon's claws, and the black dragon rushed down like a pitch-black lightning bolt, spewing azure flames at those eyes on the octopus's head.

The temperature of this flame reached tens of thousands of degrees, which was an incomparably terrifying existence for any living being, and the octopus monster closed all its eyes and tried its best to bear this dragon's breath, and the surface of its body that was originally covered with slime began to shrink rapidly and become crumpled.

"Kaz!!"

The black dragon's flaming mouth bit the octopus's head, and dark green blood flowed from the tips of its teeth while it smelled burnt.

The bitten octopus let out a wail and wrapped all its tentacles around the dragon's body, locking it in the air.

But the dragon raised its claws before it could be restrained, and its nails dug into the eyes of its face, blinding several of its red eyes.

"Shadow of Time - Alert Lifted!"

When the battle between the dragon and the octopus monster was in full swing, Xia unlocked the shield of the spatial passage, grabbed Cethia's hand and rushed inside.

"Master, don't you want that dragon?"

Sethia had no intention of following her away, and retreated as best she could, with a reluctant smile on her face:

"It's a shame to leave it here...... If it goes on like this, it's going to be eaten, huh? ”

"Sethea, I always think you don't want to follow me."

Natsu also had a smile on her face, but it looked a little scary:

"Do you think I'm too weak? Or for some reason, don't want to go to the real world? ”

"No, no, the master is so powerful...... I like you the most. ”

Cethia smiled and retreated, but Natsu's spiritual body strength was unexpectedly large, and she couldn't withdraw her hand.

"I like you too, Sercia."

Xia's spirit body suddenly doubled in size, embraced her entirely, looked into her eyes and said:

"Then leave this place with me...... I will give you a great future. ”

"I—"

What else did Sercia want to say.

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly appeared behind her, covering her back, and then slammed her forward with an irresistible force, targeting the exit of the spatial passage.

"Don't!!"

Cethia let out a scream in mid-air:

"I don't want to go to the world over there, I don't want this woman to be my master! I am the purest and most beautiful existence in the world, and my master can only be—"

"Is that you, Cethea?"

After seeing the familiar black shadow, Xia Xinshen, who was knocked into the passage, was shocked.

But when she wanted to spread out the condensed spirit and return from the spatial passage, she found that she couldn't do it.

The outside of her spiritual body seemed to be coated with a hard coat, and it was completely wrapped inside, and she couldn't control her movements at all under the high-speed impact, and was quickly thrown away from the passage.

"Stay with my master instead of me."

The voice of the former artifact Lori came from the space passage:

"My mind has been polluted...... There is no longer a right to return to the master. ”

"You are me in another time and space, and the cleanest and most immaculate me......"

"Only such an existence can be happily with the master forever; And I will only bring misfortune and calamity to her......"

Her voice faded and she was no longer heard after a while. (To be continued.) )
