Chapter 142, can't be saved
readx; "Since you didn't expect it to be me, why are you waiting for me here?" Rex smiled, his grim face still bloodless, like a sick patient. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeใ info
"If I said it was just a coincidence, would you believe it?" Erwin sighed, his eyes falling on Rex's body and seeing the gray armor stained with blood and sword scars.
He really didn't want to believe what he saw, but it was true, and he couldn't believe it, if Rex hadn't been here tonight, then Erwin could have thought that he had put his armor on the murderer for some other reason.
But now, it's clear that Rex is a murderer.
"Actually, I'd love to believe it's just a coincidence, but my IQ tells me that if I really say that, then you're going to be angry." Rex had a self-deprecating look on his face.
"If you know, it's good." Erwin looked at this demon hunter from the Titan Holy See, and couldn't imagine in his heart that such a person would turn into a murderer, "Say, why are you doing this?" โ
Rex took a deep breath, as if he had expected Erwin to ask like this, but he didn't have any answer, and there was still a bitter smile on his face: "I don't know, in fact, I only realized that I was a murderer after last night, and before that, I always thought I was a pursuer, but in the end I realized that it was me who had been playing two roles." โ
"Remember what I told you? For the last month or so, I have been tormented by nightmares, dreaming that when I was at night, I became a murderer, constantly killing people, constantly destroying villages and towns, at that time I thought that I had such nightmares because I had seen too many bloody scenes, but in fact, I was not dreaming. At night, my own consciousness would fall into a deep sleep, and another will from nowhere would affect me and control my movements. โ
Erwin didn't know whether to believe Rex anymore, but he remembered what Rex had said in the tavern, saying that he couldn't find any trace of the murderer, and no matter how much he searched, he would never see the murderer, and if he hadn't lied then, then he would have been able to match what he said now.
Because Rex is a murderer himself, every night, his ego disappears and becomes a different person.
It seems to be like multiple personality splits, there are many people who don't actually know that they have such symptoms, because the two personalities have never crossed paths with each other, and if no one reminds them, maybe they can only see the other self in a dream.
Erwin remembered that night in the tavern, Rex had become very strange for a moment, and at that time, I am afraid that it was his other personality that appeared.
Erwin doesn't know if Gergil, who is also a murderer, has the same split personality symptoms, but his personality has changed a lot from the beginning to the later personality, and according to Ian, Gergill was also an introverted and timid person when he was a child, and the later changes are fundamentally similar to the two of them.
In this comparison, it is indeed possible that Gegil has symptoms of split personality, and considering that he is also a masterpiece made by the Sect of the End, then it is very likely that the current appearance of Rex is also the hand of the Sect of the End.
"You mean you don't know why you became a murderer?" Erwin asked in a deep voice, "Don't you notice it at all?"
"Maybe, my spirit has become very poor, and my thinking ability has decreased a lot, so I haven't felt anything about myself." Rex shook his head, in fact, there were, he thought he had been tricked by a murderer, and then he was angry, but his mental side was getting worse and worse, and he couldn't think about some logical questions at all.
"However, after discovering that I was a murderer myself last night, I did think of a very likely reason......
Rex pulled something out of his body and held it flat on the palm of his hand to show Erwin and Susan.
The thing in the palm of his hand was half like a skull, but it was only the size of a baby's fist, and there seemed to be a faint light flickering in the dark eye socket on one side.
"What is this?" Erwin asked, confused.
"I picked it up where you killed Gergil, and it's always affected my mind and mind, and maybe this thing is the culprit of the reason why I became a murderer." Rex smiled bitterly, before that, he didn't expect the reason to be this, but only this, especially after he himself understood what he had done, a very strange voice kept ringing in his head, although there was no evidence, but in the feeling, Rex was completely sure that the source of the strange sound was the half of the skull in the palm of his hand.
Erwin couldn't help but gasp, staring sharply at the skull on the palm of Rex's hand.
"Throw it away."
Erwin couldn't help but shout.
"It's too late, Erwin." Rex still smiled wryly, perhaps he had the most smile tonight, but at the same time bitter, "It's too late to find out, I'm too affected by it to have the idea of discarding it." โ
"I told you I was playing with fire"
Seeing Rex's waste-like appearance, Erwin angrily reprimanded, as early as when he was in Sand Shield City, Erwin had already warned Rex not to play with fire, otherwise the final outcome would definitely be playing with fire**, but Rex was too confident and conceited.
The Sect of the End, who almost wiped out all the minions of the Punishment Academy, and the Void Holy See that almost plunged the entire Elende into the dark abyss, such a mysterious and powerful force, even Erwin, a former player, and now a time-traveler who knows everything dare not provoke, how can it be that Rex, a rookie among the demon hunters, can fight.
Rex was speechless in the face of Erwin's rebuke, he knew that Erwin was right, and he also knew that he should have listened to this young man a long time ago, but it was too late, too late for anything.
Looking at the two men in front of him who were silent, Susan, who had been silently watching from the side, only then did he interject in a low voice: "Erwin, calm down and see if there is a chance to remedy it." โ
Remedy? Is there anything else that can be remedied?
Elwin couldn't help but feel a headache, if Rex was really like Gegil, then he should now also have the characteristics of an evil cursed creature - super self-healing ability, and extremely rapid growth strength, and with the deepening of time, the change of personality will become more and more obvious in favor of evil
And most importantly, Erwin still doesn't know what kind of evil curse the two are suffering from, if he is given time, he may be able to experiment, but the other party obviously won't stand obediently and let him verify it.
"Useless Elwin, you can't save me anymore." As if hearing Susan's words, Rex whispered, "I can already feel that I am sliding into the abyss step by step, knowing that falling down is a situation from which I will never recover, but my heart has no resistance, I have been poisoned too deeply." โ
"Shut up, from now on, you don't have any say" Erwin couldn't help but exclaim, but only a bitter laugh from Rex was received.
"Listen to me, now honestly put down my weapon for me, maybe I still have a way to save you." Erwin pointed his finger at Rex, but the latter shook his head and pulled the sword from his waist, aiming the tip at Elwin.
"I've already told Erwyn, you can't save me, the only thing you can do now is kill me before I can completely become a murderer."
"Oh? I didn't expect you to still have this kind of consciousness now? Erwin sneered, "Then why don't you obediently put down your weapon and walk over empty-handed and kill you?" I'm going to kill you. โ
"You misunderstood Elwin." Rex took the demon mask from his body, "I mean very simply, the only way you can do it is to kill me while I'm sober, because I'm much weaker now than when I became a murderer, but it's just a way, it doesn't mean that I'm going to die obediently, because I want to live too." โ
As if he had heard something funny, Erwin laughed angrily for a while: "Huh? โ
"Don't you understand? Now is your best chance to kill me, but I also want to live, because I can't die in vain, I haven't lived enough, even if I become a murderer, I don't want to die like this, I'm not that great, do you understand? โ
Rex put the demon mask on his face, and the sound of the urn came from under the mask: "If you want to save me, then kill me with strength, and vice versa, if you want to do this kind of brave thing, it is impossible not to pay the price, you may also be killed by me, choose Erwin, do you want to leave this matter and leave it alone, or draw your sword from me?" โ
Erwin didn't answer immediately, but stared at Rex with a knife-like gaze, trying to see through the eye sockets of the demon mask, and see clearly what kind of thoughts were hidden under his words.
It's a pity that the eyes of the demon mask are pitch black, like an abyss where darkness breeds, and there is no bottom.
"Okay, since you said so, then I'll satisfy you, since I was promoted to level ten, I haven't done it well with anyone once." Erwin nodded, and reached out to pull out the iron sword at his waist, the sharp blade of the sword shining in the moonlight, and the cold was like frost.
"Elwin, don't be impulsive." Susan said nervously on the side, she could see that Erwin actually didn't want to fight Rex, and Rex was not the same as the previous enemy, this was an extremely strong opponent, judging from his cold language, there would probably not be any possibility of keeping his hand in the battle, and Erwin was different, he was very likely to not be able to fight, this was not a fair fight.
"It's okay Susan, I'm measured, this is also a battle between the two of us, don't interfere." Erwin waved at Susan and motioned for her to stand aside.
When Susan heard Erwin's words, she immediately wanted to open her mouth to refute, in this case, how could she not intervene.
But the next moment, Susan noticed that when Erwin waved at her, the fingers on his palm made a secret gesture, a gesture that only the two of them understoodโit meant waiting for an opportunity.
"You ...... guy"
Susan couldn't help but want to step on Elwin, but she was slightly relieved, and then slowly stepped aside.
On the other side, Rex had already reached out and patted his mount, the knight on the buttocks, and the blood-streaked horse immediately understood, and with a neigh, he shook off its hooves and galloped away.
"This is a horse that has been with me for several years, and his name is Bo Knight, and he is a very naughty child." Rex's tone was as flat as chatting, but it gave a sense of confession, "I've told it to come back tomorrow morning, and if I win, I'll ride it away, and if you win, then it's yours Erwin, take good care of it for me." โ
"It's too early to say that, Rex." Erwin had a wicked smile on his face, "Maybe we're tied, but your horse fell into the hunter's trap and was dismantled into a kebab, and maybe you'll praise it for its good taste." โ
"I wanted to tell you Erwin when I was in Sand Shield City, your jokes are very bad, and they are not funny at all, can you stop saying any more, you have no talent for humor at all." Rex seemed enraged, and there was a hint of anger in his tone.
Erwin's face also sank, and the thing he hated the most was that when he told jokes, others said that it was not funny at all, and it was super embarrassing.
"You guy with a cold face all day is not qualified to comment on whether I have a talent for humor, and the muscles on your face are stiff, like frozen pieces of meat, and you know how ugly you laugh."
"Very well, it seems that we have long been dissatisfied with each other, so let's solve all problems with one battle."
"Just what I want."
As soon as the voice fell, Erwin slammed his right foot on the ground, and the majestic power instantly penetrated from his body to the thighs to the soles of his feet, as if an invisible energy burst open, and the snow on the ground was instantly shaken and splashed out, revealing the ground below that was frozen hard as iron by low temperatures.
Even the ground was cracked open under Erwin's feet, cracks spreading out like cobwebs, and crumbs of mud flew with the snow
With a "bang", the force of the shock rushed back from his feet, and Erwin's body immediately came out like an arrow from the string, and the extremely fast speed almost pierced the air, forming a rotating and agitating air flow on the surface of the body, tearing and plowing a deep mark on the ground.
Rex's eyes widened violently behind the demon mask, and Elwin's figure quickly enlarged in his vision, and a cold light seemed to pierce space and time, and he came to Rex in an instant.
This is Erwin's iron sword, the streamlined sword body seems to be wrapped in a faint layer of fluorescence in the moonlight, the sharp blade cuts a dazzling cold light, and at the top is a sword tip that is longer than the ordinary long sword, stabbing at Rex's demon mask.
If the opponent was just an elite fighter, Erwin's blow could almost completely pierce through the opponent's skull, and the opponent could not react yet.
But Rex is different, he is already a strong man who has entered the gate of the ranks, and he is also an extremely experienced and excellent demon hunter, although Erwin's blow is extremely fast, but the distance between the two sides is still too far enough for Rex to react.
With a "bang", Rex's raised long sword held Erwin's iron sword in the air, and the two forces collided violently through the sword body, turning into an invisible energy that blew away the air flow brought by Erwin.
Erwin's own strength was greater, and with the added momentum, Rex immediately couldn't resist it, took a step back, and stepped into the snow behind him.
The two twisted their swords at the same time, and the two long swords spun and turned into two windmill-like sword lights, clanging and colliding together.
Erwin retracted the iron sword and swept it out again, Rex knew that he was not strong enough, but he refused to lose his momentum, and he also fought hard with his sword.
The battle between the two sides became faster and faster, and the speed of the sword also accelerated rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it became a super-high-speed slash collision that was difficult to see with the naked eye, and countless crescent-shaped sword lights flashed dazzlingly between the two, and then disappeared in a blink of an eye, and the violent air flow swept out of the surrounding area with countless star-like sparks, blowing the snow under the feet of the two people, and the snowflakes were rolled up by the energy, and then scattered around one after another.
Erwin himself entered the Gate of Rank after being promoted to level ten, and his growth template is the elite warrior level, and his combat effectiveness is far better than that of ordinary fighters, although the two are in the first order of the Gate of Rank, but Erwin has obviously surpassed Rex in terms of physical fitness.
Not to mention that Erwin also won the Black Bronze Medal, and his physical fitness has left Rex far behind, whether it is strength, speed, or reflexes, he is much stronger than Rex.
And if you want to compare combat experience, Rex is a demon hunter knight who has performed a lot of tasks, and Erwin is a technical stream player who pk monster farming, which is half a pound in comparison.
Therefore, after the battle broke out, Rex was quickly suppressed by Erwin, and began to retreat non-stop, and under Erwin's high-speed slashing, he also became clumsy.
Aiming at an opportunity, Erwin began to use skills that truly represented his fighting power.
