The blood in his eyes faded, and Galen's vision became clearer. A large, thick hand gently grasped his arm, allowing him to lean on the broad shoulder that had been handed over.

"Are you alright?" said Gavin with concern, quickly bandaging Galen's wound with the strip of cloth he had torn from his body, "bear with me." ”

"I can't die yet. Galen smiled and sighed, if it weren't for the heat from Gavin's body, he would have thought it was just an illusion, "What about the monster?"

"There," Garvin gently leaned Galen against a rock, after bandaging all the wounds on Galen's body and making sure they didn't bleed anymore, "I don't know what happened, the monster suddenly turned around and rushed that way." ”

Galen looked in the direction Garvin was pointing, and saw the monster leaning slightly, as if gasping. Its body had changed from grayish-black to crimson, and its fists were larger than they had just been, with countless black stones large and small attached to them.

It wasn't the monster that caught Galen's eye, but the man standing in front of the monster, a man with a strange pistol and a man who was insignificant compared to the monster. His face was a peculiar white mask, and his form gave Galen a familiar touch.

"That's an ash. Gavin said, his gaze not taking off the embers.

"Ember ...... Hurry up and let him go, that monster is dangerous. Galen was stunned for a moment and said quickly.

Gavin motioned for Galen to silence, his expression calm.

In the distance, the monster jerked to its feet, its massive fist sweeping towards the embers.

Looking at the fist that was many times larger than himself, Ember did not have any panic, and his pure black eyes were indifferent and contained the light of unknown emotions. He slowly pointed his pistol at the behemoth.

"Bang-" A thin, long, crimson bullet flew towards the monster with a chaotic sound, and it bloomed brilliantly on the monster's head.

Hit so hard that the monster let out a roar of pain and slowed down. At that moment, Ember slowly took a few steps back, and the monster's massive fist landed where Ember had been standing earlier.

The moment the monster's fist fell, a circular lotus flower pattern appeared as if out of thin air, spinning slowly and gracefully. As if something had been touched, the next moment when the first lotus pattern appeared, the remaining three hidden lotus patterns appeared one by one, surrounding the monster in the middle. As if there was something restraining the monster, in the four rotating lotus patterns, the monster's original not slow body became sluggish.

The monster roared and struggled to move forward, trying to break away from the lotus pattern, and from its cry, Gavin heard fear.

"Die. Ember smiled and said, his voice indifferent and low, without a hint of emotion. Galen frowned slightly and thoughtfully.

After Ember turned gracefully and snapped his fingers, the four lotus patterns stopped spinning and lit up, followed by a flash of flickering, and the four lotus patterns exploded.

In the earth-shattering explosion, the monster was blown apart, and in the endless smoke and dust, a huge crater appeared in the place where the monster was located - this terrible explosion actually blew through the hard mountain top!

"Good, so terrifying, so powerful......" Galen muttered as he stared blankly at the strange white mask.

"Hmm......" Jiawen frowned, thinking about something.

"Ah, that's a perfect piece. Ember said coldly and lazily, "Now, it's time for the two of you." ”

"He, he's not Ember ......" looked at Ember who was loading his bullets and walking towards him, Gavin looked serious, "although it looks like the same person......"

He ...... Is he trying to kill us?" Ash's raised pistol made Galen feel a little uneasy, and he moved his body slightly, trying to stand up, but the severe pain throughout his body made it impossible for him to use his strength.

"Be grateful, your boring life is about to shine......" Ember slowly turned his pistol.

"You, who are you?" Garvin slowly stepped forward, blocking Galen behind him, "Are you Ember's brother?"

"Brother, you can say that. The other smiled grimly and gently rubbed the pistol. The man's words as he was about to lose consciousness still lingered in his ears: "Please, please save them...... Gavin and Galen went to the back mountain, and if you don't go, they will definitely be killed by this monster...... Please...... Save them......"

"What about Ember? Are you...... Who?" Jiawen narrowed his eyes slightly.

"I'm not Ember. The other party's dull voice had a cold texture, "But, you can also take me as an ember, because not long ago, I saved you, just a few days ago." ”

"What?......" Galen was confused.

"Can I take the mask off?" Although his voice and body shape were similar, the feeling he brought to Jiawen was completely different, and the feeling that Ember brought to Jiawen was completely different.

"Oh, that's not going to work. He gently tapped the pure white mask, and there was a hint of anxiety and unwillingness in his voice, "If I take this off, I will no longer be me, just as he will no longer be him when he wears this artwork." ”

"This ...... Your Royal Highness, I seem to understand a little......" Galen said confusedly.

"Oh, I see......" Jiawen chuckled, his eyes shining with a deep light.

"He should value you very much, right?" he raised his pistol gracefully, his voice slanguid, "or he wouldn't have done it, I haven't been out for a long time." ”

"His Royal Highness...... Prince" Galen looked solemn and looked at the pitch-black muzzle on the opposite side.

"Remember my name. He stretched, slowly put the pistol down, and said in a cold and indifferent voice, "I, the Drama Master. ”

"Dramatist, do you want to kill us?" Garvin exhaled lightly, and the white water vapor slowly settled, "The Dramatist who occupies Ember's body?"

"No, it won't, at least not yet. The playwright coughed a few times and laughed, "But I'm sure there will come a day, and we'll see you again, my artworks." ”

As soon as the words fell, the playwright slowly raised his white left hand and took off the mask on his face. He stumbled and fell down as if he had lost his breath.

Gavin saw his face, it was Ash, but his face was full of tiredness and pain.

Gavin didn't make a sound, just looked at Ember quietly, with mixed emotions in his eyes, and Galen was equally silent, I don't know if it was because he was too badly injured or something else.

After a long time, Jiawen sighed lightly and slowly approached the man who had fallen to the ground.

Ember lay there quietly, his heaving chest proving to Gavin that he had been awake all along, his eyes slightly squinted, his face pained and lost.

Gavin didn't speak, just leaned down slightly, and pulled the silent guy up. Ember's body was soft and weak, and Gavin passed his solid shoulders and let him lean on top of him without falling down again.

"See?" Ember's voice trembled, and there was no glimmer of hope in it.

"Hmm. Gavin was silent for a moment and nodded lightly.

"That's who I am. Ember turned his head, and a sad arc appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Never, no one has ever wanted to be friends with me, because they are all afraid of me, I am a demon......"

"That's not you, I know. Jiawen said calmly.

"You don't understand. Ember whispered, but softly, but Gavin could hear fear, despair, and loneliness. "I've lost count of how many people's blood I've had on my hands...... I was scared, every night I was enveloped in terrible nightmares and I was scared ......"

Ember shuddered violently and lowered his head, his dark eyes unaware of what was contained.

"You can face the fear in your heart for our sake, even at the cost of becoming a demon. Jiawen smiled and patted Ember's thin shoulder, and said loudly, "How can I not make such a friend? ”

"......" Ember slowly straightened up, took a few steps back, his face was extremely complicated emotions, and his eyes were covered with a layer of mist, "Jiawen ......"

"What are the big men crying about. Gavin laughed and punched Ember in the shoulder.

"Thank you......" Ember took a step back, moved and determined in his dark eyes.

......

......

"Galen, your injuries are healed. Ember wiped the sweat from the corners of his forehead, looked at Galen, who was lying on the stone bed and was densely wrapped in bandages, and smiled.

"Thanks, Ember. Galen nodded, a smile on his lips.

"We are friends and need no thanks. Ember said with a smile.

"But then again, we really made a mistake this time. Gavin, who was leaning lightly on the doorpost, glanced at Galen and said, "I didn't expect this world to be different from the last one, but fortunately, there was no danger this time." ”

"Why the hell are you looking for that monster?" asked Ember, puzzled.

"For the mission. Galen struggled to sit up from the bed, furrowing his thick eyebrows slightly, "We're getting out of here, we're not here, we're going back to the world that belongs to us." ”

"I don't know how my sister is, I miss her so much...... I'm going to pinch my sister to death for the one who seduced my sister......" Galen thought to himself.

"If you can," Ember naturally didn't know what Galen was thinking, he nodded thoughtfully, "Can I join you?" ”

"Okay!" After being stunned for a moment, Galen laughed and patted Ember on the shoulder intimately, forgetting the scars on his body.

"That's exactly what I was hoping for. Gavin smiled.
