Chapter 12: The Imminent Death of Man
H City, late at night. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Artoria, whose face was unusually pale, stared at the starry sky with her eyes wide open. In the turquoise starry eyes, all kinds of helpless looks flashed from time to time.
Two summoned wooden dolls, one red and one white, were waiting beside their masters in a sluggish manner.
Her pale face suddenly covered with a faint red, her white fingers tapped her soft lips, and Artoria smiled with a hint of a treacherous victory. Although she also knows that the other party may not admit it.
The weak do not have the right to choose their own destiny! The only thing they can do is to bear everything in silence until death comes......
Time...... Go back a few hours.
The blonde girl, acting as bait, panicked along the once-bustling and now deserted mess of roads littered with car wrecks.
Altoria, exhausted, gulping greedily into the fresh air, clutched her wildly beating heart. The loaded legs, which were spinning like wheels, seemed to no longer belong to them.
How long did you escape?
To be honest, Artoria didn't know, she just felt like hours had passed.
Behind him, the huge centipede corpse brother with a huge body size and a length of about 10 meters easily crashed into the wreckage of cars that were obstructing on the highway one after another. Breaking trees on the green belt one after another, enjoying the fun of playing cat and mouse, the foul mouth showed bursts of nervous weird laughter, chasing the white figure in front of him dozens of meters away.
"But... Can... Damn it...! ”
Am I going to hang up like this?
The turquoise pupils quickly surveyed the narrow spots on both sides of the road, looking for a possible opportunity to escape the crisis. It's just that the roads of H City are too unfamiliar to Artoria.
"Flashbang!" The blonde girl threw a ball of light condensed by magical elements behind her, briefly blinding the centipede corpse brother's vision and buying some dispensable time.
Then, Artoria, who felt that she had little energy left, quickly turned around and ran into a dimly lit alley that was not very wide.
"Smell... Smell it! Hey, hey, hey. The centipede corpse brother with an oversized and terrifying face grinned, sniffing constantly, and following the scent, dozens of pairs of long sharp legs ran in the direction where Artoria was hiding.
"How good is this monster's physical strength? Call... Call... Call... I can't run anymore. It's been more than three hours of running...... "Artoria only felt that her legs were as heavy as lead, and she needed to use the strength to feed with every step.
It's just that how can a two-legged human outrun a monster with dozens of legs.
"Hey... Hey, I'm about to catch up with you! "The huge body of the centipede corpse brother directly squeezed through the buildings on both sides, and forcibly squeezed into this alleyway about four to five meters wide, and the tiles used for decoration on the buildings on both sides, all kinds of cement chips, advertising signs, etc., were constantly rubbed off, rubbed, and wiped off
"Chasing... Chase your sister! Yes... Yes... Ahhhhh Then she reluctantly rolled over and lay on her back. With her left hand pressed against her forehead, she sensed that her life was coming to an end again, and her eyes looked intently at the clear night sky densely covered with stars in the night.
Maybe this is the last time I look up at the stars in my life, but really......
"It's really beautiful! It's beautiful! Artoria's pretty face smiled like a quiet relief, and her right hand stretched out her five fingers straight to the sky, clutching as if she wanted to catch the stars shining in the night sky.
Beside him, the footsteps of the "Grim Reaper" gradually approached and became clearer and clearer. A foul smell of fish came to my nose with the night breeze.
The centipede corpse brother grinned, and its misshapen sharp arm easily pierced through the armor and through Artoria's abdomen. The crimson blood stained the ground in an instant.
What does it feel like?
Hurt?
Pain?
No... Neither.
It was a feeling like ten thousand ants gnawing at it, and the moment her abdomen was pierced, Artoria was already infected with the corpse brother's virus. So much so that the itching is unbearable, like the feeling of ten thousand ants devouring the heart, completely cancels out the pain that the body should have.
Is this going to die? I'm going to die...
Even if you can get away with it... I guess I will become a part of the corpse brothers.
Still, it's better to die. After all, I've had enough of transformations or something......
His lips, pale and bloodless, withdrew a wry smile. Artoria closed her eyes and waited silently for death to come!
In the final analysis, she was just an ordinary person after all. An extremely ordinary modern person in the 21st century, and because of the encounters he has had since he was a child, he has become a guy who likes to stay at home very much.
So, but when the crisis of life really came, she really couldn't afford to resist at all!
Of course, even if she had a fighting spirit, she would not be a match for this corpse brother.
Almost 0 combat experience.,I don't know anything about surviving alone.,Let alone escape or something! What she has is just a shell with far more physical qualities than ordinary people.
But this shell is obviously much worse than the Centipede Corpse Brother who has evolved several times!
The silver armor made of magic was like papier-mâché, easily sliced into pieces by the sharp hand knife of the Centipede Corpse Brother.
The centipede corpse brother laughed and threw the badly injured Artoria into the air. Under the white off-the-shoulder dress, the supple skin looks extremely attractive. But unfortunately, for the centipede corpse brother, this is just nutritious food. The ten-meter-long insect body stood up, calibrating where the blonde girl had fallen, and her fangs widened.
Apparently, it enjoys torturing its dying prey.
Time, at this moment, seems to be caught in a short moment.
"In my life, I never give up!" Artoria's eyes widened in surprise suddenly. In front of her was a vast and boundless grassland that suddenly appeared in sight, and a blonde girl with a sword in the stone with a grim face stood in front of tens of thousands of solemn and majestic troops, only to see her staring closely ahead without saying a word. The heroic temperament that emanates from the inside out deeply attracts everyone's attention.
I saw the blonde girl raise her head and look at Artoria falling from the sky.
"Don't give up! And then live! ”
Stay alive!
Stay alive!
Consciousness quickly returns, and the illusory scene shatters like glass. The reality of the scene is once again presented in front of you.
Following Newton's law of free fall, Artoria, who was thrown at least fifty meters high by the strange force of the centipede corpse brother, quickly fell down.
Artoria, who was on the way down, squeezed out the little magic power left in her body, and continued to send out flashbangs one after another downward.
Even if you fall to your death, don't be a monster's lunch!
