Chapter 70: The Wall of Sighs

"Sure enough......"

The Glory One stopped before the Wall of Sighs separating the upper and lower districts of Hemtika.

The apostle of the dice house has no reason to deceive at this point, the road leading to the upper area is completely locked at the moment, although the city defense technician in charge of maintenance is still working overtime to carry out emergency repairs, but the teenager who has already understood the reason will naturally not have hope for them.

So—

Amy looked up at the cliff in front of her, which reached into the clouds.

Only from here.

If you can, you really don't want to go this way - in the lower districts, there are countless rumors about the Wall of Sighs, including the unreliable claims that it houses gods or demons, and the rumors that it is the technological crystallization of the first ancestors of the primeval generation, and there are even many people who believe that this wall is actually a living creature, a living demon. If it weren't for the near-cheating ability of the Death Harbinger, he wouldn't have risked his life to challenge the Wall of Sighs.

That's right, the challenge.

He was going to climb over it, over this impassable wall of sighs.

"Wait for me here," the Gloryer retracted his divergent thoughts and admonished the girl beside him, his tone soft and gentle, but with a hint of intransmissibility, "I'll go up there and find my way." ”

"Upper?" said the sword-wielding in confusion.

"Well," the boy nodded, "I'm going to challenge a myth that no one has ever successfully challenged." ”

However, Mia only frowned, then shook her head, and said in a cold tone that was so calm that there was not even a ripple, "I will die." ”

As if stating the facts.

"Na," Ulysses said, raising his hand and revealing a large, sunny smile, "Didn't I say that?"

The corners of the mouth are slightly upturned.

"My power, but the power to rise from the dead. ”

"Oh. ”

The girl seemed to believe his words and did not stop him.

So, let's get started.

Taking a deep breath, the Glorious One emptied his spirit, slashing a small wound in his wrist with dark blood, and left it untreated, allowing the crimson blood to trickle down on the old red and black dagger.

Maybe my father, who didn't know if he was dead or alive, would be very angry when he found out, but now he couldn't care so much, and when the chaos in the upper district was gradually revealed, he decided to untie the shackles that time had imposed on the dark blood, and borrow the last forbidden power that was not allowed to be borrowed - for the sake of Yuria's face, he should not be accused of being beaten to death by that daughter...... Well, it should, maybe, probably, probably not?

He shook his head and put aside the thoughts that were popping up in his head for the time being.

And then—

"Westeria Sorin. He pronounced the key to activation.

So the scorching breath cleared the atmosphere, the perennial mist dissipated as if it had encountered a natural enemy, the most ancient sword that had once slashed through blindness, foolishness and chaos faded the traces left on it by time, and the weapons of the legendary ancestors were reborn in light and flame.

"This is ......" The sword-bearer from the Order lost his mind in this pure light.

The boy had no need to answer her doubts, the less people knew about the existence of the quenching weapon, the better, besides...... Activating the Dark Blood requires more than just a key, it needs to be fed with the blood of the Ulysses clan just like the popular Lordkillers in knight novels, and if the owner can't continue to sacrifice his own blood, then it will return to its time-baptized dormant mode.

Well, it's the red and black rusty look.

Time is limited.

Thinking so, he ran and jumped, directly over the height of the two-story building, and stood firm on the wall about ten meters above the ground, and before the gravity could ease up from the state, the dark blood of the short sword burning with light and flame had already cut through the wall of the Wall of Sighs like tofu.

Wait—I'm stupid.

This also ...... Too sharp, right?

Two thoughts arose almost simultaneously, and then, under the influence of inertia, the Glory One opened a shocking gaping hole in the wall that was dubbed Sigh.

And then...... Amy Ulysses retracted her sword.

It was a complete accident, the quenching weapon after the restriction was lifted was sharper than he could have imagined, and he felt almost no resistance as he slid down, and Hemtika, no, the impregnable wall on which the Triple City was famous, was slashed clean under the edge of dark blood.

Until now, he has a sense of unreality that the legend has been shattered.

"Well," the young man shrugged his shoulders as he looked at the sword-wielder behind him with some sneer, "What do you think we can cut a path through?" ”

Mia didn't speak, preferring actions to words.

Take a step forward, pull out the cross sword with his backhand, pressurize, pressurize, pressurize - under the compression of the wind, under the action of dual abilities, the silver-white greatsword turned into a silver-white flash, like a comet falling straight to the earth, and like lightning piercing the sky, the roar of the collision of strong and powerful resounded through the sky like thunder.

"Bell—"

Before the aftermath faded, the Glory One had seen the results.

A crack opened.

Well, the sword-wielder's silver-white cross sword cracked open.

"It can't be done. The girl did not show surprise at this result, she only replied in the same clear voice as ever, "At least, I can't." ”

"It seems that I am the only one who has worked harder. The boy spread his hands, seemingly unconcerned about this, but in fact he was only using the conversation with the sword-wielder to hide the waves in his heart, "Fortunately, we don't need to destroy the entire wall, all we need is to clear the blocked passages - in the form of violence." ”

"Hmm. Mia nodded slightly.

"I can find a way out," said Amy, using the medical bandage she had prepared to stop her bleeding, then watching the light and flame dissipate, staring at the rusty sword in her hand, which was as inconspicuous as a burning stick, before looking away for a moment to look at the girl, "keep it secret for me." ”

"Good. "The sword-bearer did not promise, let alone swear, but simply replied with one word.

"Next, let's take a look at the body of the Wall of Sighs. The Glory One looked at the wound he had cut in the wall, and although it was only a small cut in relation to the entire wall, it was a shocking wound in front of him, "Triple City...... After hearing the name, I became even more interested in the history hidden in the fog. ”

Ulysses has always had a strong interest in history, but he pays more attention to the legendary generations of his ancestors than in the pre-ancient kings, and the focus is not on the changes of cities and the development of civilization, but on the confrontation between order and chaos in the long evolution of mankind.

But even so, the city he is in seems to hide a historical puzzle, which cannot but make him concerned and interested.

"Be careful. Mia on the side whispered admonishment.

"Well, I will. ”

The boy politely agreed, the aura of death is quite trustworthy, and he has saved him no less than ten times so far, even if he is facing the ancient and mysterious wall of sighs, he is completely sure that he will retreat, let alone ...... His instincts never warned him, nor did he foresee his own death.

He reached out and stroked the wall, which was so smooth that there was not a single dent.

"Tekley...... Sharp...... Tykeley ...... ......"

There seemed to be a sound that echoed rhythmically inside the walls, and the faces of the Glorious Ones showed a look of wonder whether it was the wind pouring back, or was it really the devil living inside the Wall of Sighs, as the most absurd rumors circulated in the lower districts, or even ...... Is it a living creature in itself?

The beat of the heartbeat can't help but speed up.

Amy took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the tension in her heart, took out a fire streak talisman from her bosom, barely stuffed a small half through the incision, stuck on the crack to light up a little vision, and then ...... He leaned forward slightly, his whole body pressed against the wall, and he peered into the secrets inside the wall with one eye.

It's a bit vague...... But there seems to be nothing.

Sure enough, it was just the echo of the wind pouring back - the young man was a little dazed, without much hesitation, he took a small step back, intending to end the expedition, but the accident happened again at this time - he was surprised to find that the fire streak talisman that he had stuck into the crack could not be pulled out at this moment, no, not only could not be pulled out, but merged with this wall and became a part of it!

It's healing—

The boy's eyes widened, it was healing like a living thing!

"Hell. The Glory One muttered in a low voice, extinguishing the contempt for the Wall of Sighs in his heart, and carefully pressed his head once more against the gap cut by the dark blood of the short sword, and then ...... Doubts arise spontaneously.

The length is wrong.

The Short Sword Dark Blood had indeed grown a lot longer after being reforged with Light Flame, but it was definitely not less than a meter long, and the light sight he now provided through the Fire Emblem Talisman was definitely a few meters away!, that is...... The wall of despair separating the upper and lower districts of Hemtika is actually a hollow wall?

This is not normal!

Very, very abnormal!

No matter what kind of material is used and what method is used to construct it, hollowness means uneven force, it means cutting corners, and it means that there is a fatal hidden danger.

So, can't figure it out.

Could it be a necessary condition for some kind of alchemy, for the sake of overall stability, in order to resist the erosion of time, it is necessary to vacate part of the space to engrave the coat of arms of alchemy?

He couldn't help but laugh, but the next moment, the laughter stopped abruptly as if someone had choked him.

Because—

There's something wriggling in the dark.

Sand...... Sand...... Tykeley ...... Sharp...... Sand......

The creepy voice approached.

Then, in the darkness, a bright red eye opened, and the shadow could be clearly seen, and beneath it, there were countless tendrils that were like a bird's nest wriggling in the darkness.

Dense and endless.

I am afraid that the hollow inside the Wall of Sighs has long since become a seedbed for them to breed and multiply.

The Glory's gaze on it seemed to trigger a switch, and tentacles rose to their feet, disgusting sarcomas bulging at a speed visible to the naked eye, and bloomed like flower bones in the space that followed, revealing palpitating, blood-colored pupils.

Tykeley ...... Sharp...... Tykeley ...... Sharp......

Millions of voices rang out at once, infecting the young man's spirit like a magic voice through his brain.

In a trance, the boy saw -

- Death.

Without any suspense, the death harbinger was activated.

And then...... The seven orifices bled together, and the body of the Glorious One fell to the ground like a broken doll, and the heaving of his chest weakened at a rate visible to the naked eye.

After just three breaths, the sword-wielder lifted him up from the ground, his white jade-like fingers poking his nose.

The action froze.

Then the arm hung limply.

He's dead.

- Amy Ulysses's life has come to an end.
