Just...... What is that?

There was a faint sound of the earth shaking, and the boy cast his eyes on the end of the darkness, but there was nothing as far as the eye could see, and the deep mine seemed to lead to the end of the world.

"You should feel it too, right?" It is difficult for the Glorious One to describe the feeling of that moment, as if the muddy evil of the world's malicious collection of human beings enveloped the entire underground world like a mountain and a tsunami and like a sky falling down, and the malice against humans was clearly revealed in the Ildan Mine, "in the depths...... There seems to be something terrible, and the monster has risen from the chaos. ”

"Well," the girl bit her lip, her emerald green pupils making a rare ripple, "it's the realm of the High Demons, and we've stepped into its realm. ”

"Domain?" Amy raised her eyebrows, not questioning the sword-wielding's statement, although it was very incredible that a high-level demon could appear in the realm of order in a complete form, but with the strength that he vaguely felt was by no means comparable to that of ordinary demons, I am afraid that there was only this possibility, this worst possibility, "It's really an apt description, but...... With just the two of us, it would be an impossible task to challenge a high-ranking demon who had taken over Ildan. ”

"It's not impossible. The blonde-haired and blue-eyed female swordsman looked at the darkness ahead with a distraction, and then drew her sword, "It's not in a good state, and it can't adapt to the power of the fire for a while, this is our chance." ”

"With our combat power, it is unlikely that we can defeat them. Amy shook her head, the high-level demons and ordinary demons are no longer the same species, they have surpassed the life level, and they have obtained exclusive abilities like the Glory, among which the powerful ones even have more than five different abilities, "To deal with this kind of monster, I am afraid that it is only possible to deal with the Chosen One or the great sword-bearer of your Order." ”

"......" the sword-wielder looked at him silently, and after about three breaths, he shook his head, "You're wrong. ”

"Wrong?" said Amy, frowning.

"Well," the girl calmly began, "the High Demons are not invincible—although they possess plural abilities, they do not have the possibility of using plural abilities at the same time, and they do not possess true intellect and lack the corresponding combat intelligence—in summary, there is a possibility that plural sword-wielders may defeat them. ”

"But it's just possible. The boy sighed, he didn't intend to give in, invading the Dark Guild with the sword-bearer was already the limit of what he could help, if he wanted to risk his life to face a high-ranking demon for this, he couldn't accept it anyway, "We are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of combat power - we can report the information we have obtained and let the Order's great sword-wielder take action and wipe it out." ”

"No way. The silver crosssword slashed down, smashing a cloud of rubble in front of the Glory, "The war with the Chaos Cultists has begun, the Order has no power to waste in such a place, and the only one who can solve the problem is me—or us." ”

Without further persuasion, the sword-wielder stepped forward.

"I'm as weak as ever. Looking at the girl's back gradually moving away, Amy couldn't help laughing, and then the smile on her face gradually converged, and she raised her eyebrows, "Now is not the time to be timid, since there is no road ahead, only to open the way - after all, I also have the glorious blood of the ancestors flowing in my body!"

It was unclear whether it was because the help from the Order could no longer be counted on, or simply because he did not want to be left behind, or even because he did not want to live up to the heavy trust of the other party, the young man also turned and sank into the darkness in the depths of the mine.

The not narrow passage was unexpectedly long, and the long darkness was almost suffocating.

But unexpectedly, the mood of the Glory Man calmed down incredibly at this moment - think about it carefully, in fact, this is the first time that he has faced a crisis that may lead to death without a bloody heart, and it is also the first time that he has defied his reason, and whether this courage reflects progress or regression, frankly speaking, even now he has not been able to figure it out.

Perhaps, it doesn't matter at all.

The important thing is that he finally came out of the shadow of his abilities.

Death –

It is the eternal theme of mankind, and throughout the ages, from the sages and philosophers to the common people, they all have an instinctive fear of it, and how can Amy Ulysses Hode be exempt from the mundane, and even under the influence of the precursor of death, he is closer to death than anyone else, and understands death better...... More than anyone else, he fears the inevitable fate of death - because of this, the harbinger of death is like a snail shell bound to him, both protecting him from danger and hindering his further growth, and now, he finally has the ability to break free from the snail shell on his back, relying on his own will, his own strength to move forward step by step towards the goal in his heart.

There is no doubt that this is a good thing.

But there's no time to rejoice in that now, because ...... The clouds of death have always been with us.

Will die - will be killed

Ever since the mine opened at the end of the tunnel, and his vision suddenly widened, his instinct had been clamoring to leave this place, and a chill from the bone marrow spread from the soles of his feet to the limbs, and even his scalp was faintly numb, so that he had no doubt that death would befall him in the next moment.

"Not true. He was obviously not the only one who felt this way, and the sword-wielding who also sensed the mistake raised his brow slightly, and then stopped, "It's too quiet here." ”

Amy subconsciously looked around, although the light provided by the fire emic charm on his body was not enough to illuminate the whole map, but it was enough for him to look at the surrounding environment - to his surprise, not only did there not exist any beasts and insects here, but even Lattimore, known as the devil's grass and could adapt to all kinds of harsh environments, was nowhere to be found, only a plain white land and gravel, which can be called a desert of life.

"It's not just wrong. The Glory One lowered his body and rubbed his fingers against the gravel on the ground, "It seems that our luck is not bad, and we have found the right master." ”

"Lord?" the girl's voice was slightly puzzled, but in the next moment, the silver-white cross-sword was already unsheathed.

Without any words, without leaving him any time to react, the sword light as bright as the moon swallowed him straight away, and the hot blood splashed all over him.

It's -

It was only at this time that the young man reacted, his body suddenly spun, and the dark blood of the short sword churned out, facing the ...... Scarlet eyes overwhelming!

"When!?"

Whether it was for him or the sword-wielders of the Order, no matter how many monsters there were in the ground, the threat was quite limited, but being able to touch his back silently was enough to show that the monsters in front of him, who also had multiple scarlet eyes, could not be generalized with the previous ones, at least...... He read in their eyes emotions beyond killing and devouring, and read utter hatred.

The girl has never been in the habit of talking in battle, for her, the elimination of demons has been almost an instinct, after discovering the traces of monsters, she did not have any pause, nor did she hesitate, not even think about it, her body had already reacted first, she drew her sword at lightning speed, drew her sword, and then rushed into the monster colony like a wolf into a flock.

Amy's questions naturally go unanswered, but they don't need to be answered at this time.

Where will there be time to wander, where will there be energy to think about all those miscellaneous things, the monsters have never had a one-on-one chivalry, they are whistling, screaming, waving those thick and terrifying arms, growing and stinking mouths with interlaced canine teeth, outflanking him from all sides!

There is nowhere to run!

But...... Why run away?

All you need to fight – just fight!

The young Glory Man arched his body like a cheetah, and although he didn't actually fight much, by constantly reading the battle instincts dormant in his body, he was now able to control every ounce of power in his body as skillfully as a veteran, and he could perfectly use that cheating instinct, if it weren't for the fact that the underground monsters in front of him were fundamentally different from those before, he had no doubt that a slaughter would await him.

But as he had predicted, it, they got smarter.

The dull movements become vivid, the haphazard offensive evolves into a dense round-up, and the more you fight, the more you fight, the more you can feel the changes in them, the more you can feel the more and more chest-tight, more and more suffocating atmosphere - yes, they are learning...... In evolution!

Even after killing the individual, the monsters have gained corresponding experience from the individual's death, and Amy is almost certain that some kind of invisible network of thoughts and senses binds their minds together, sharing senses and experiences, thus forming a swarm consciousness similar to that of ants or bees.

I really didn't expect that such a monster would exist under the ground of Hemtika......

With an almost natural aversion to the living, and an intellectual nature, it's like taking some of the traits of humans and demons and merging them together to form a new race.

It's amazing.

However...... As human beings, I can't let you be born!

The boy thought without mercy, relying on the battle to constantly oppress himself, hoping to awaken the fighting instinct that was sleeping in his body, but maybe it was because he already had a reliance in the depths of his soul, or maybe the power dormant in his body was exhausted in the previous outbreak, obviously with the continuous learning and evolution of the monsters, the pressure he faced was far greater than when he first encountered them, but even so, he still couldn't get back the feeling at that time, and could only kill a way with a sword.

The situation is not good.

No matter which way you look at it, the battle situation presents an overwhelming disadvantage to them, on the one hand, the monsters seem to be endless in their home field, and as the battle lengthens, they cooperate more and more closely, creating more and more pressure, and on the other hand, although the glory and the sword wielder have unusually superior physical qualities, in the current intensity of the battle, there will still be physical limits, with the passage of time, the wear and tear of the battle, they will eventually exhaust the moment.

- At that time, even if he has a premonition of death, I am afraid that he will not escape death.

Gotta find a way, gotta figure out!

Amy felt anxious in his heart, he didn't think about whether the sword-wielders of the Order would have any winners and losers who could turn the tide in an instant, and he was more willing to trust himself than those who relied on others for glory.

But before he could sort out his thoughts, in an instant...... The heavens and the earth are turned upside down.

The world –

Dyed in a desperate black.

"What the hell is that...... the boy's eyes lost their brightness for a moment, and he whispered in an almost dreamlike voice, "What a monster—"
