108 Fire Day
In the darkness, all kinds of strange sounds lingered around the dilapidated room, like crying and laughing maniacally, which was particularly infiltrating.
Simon remained in the room as if he had not heard this, his expression calm, one hand clutching the amulet on his chest, and the other hand reaching into the darkness and groping continuously. Wisps of formless and textureless darkness were lifted up by him like a river, flowing in the palm of his hand.
The Mirror of Eternity continued to glow with cold light on his earlobe, the smooth mirror surface shook violently like water waves, and a force different from this dark world continued to ripple in Simon's hands, trying to analyze and devour the darkness in front of him, wanting to see its true face.
However, as soon as the power of the Mirror of Eternity emerged, it was suppressed by the entire world, and this strange power caused countless darkness to rush from all around, wanting to devour it all.
The bonfire in the hall suddenly exploded, and the scorching flames rushed to the roof, and the warm light of the fire dispelled the vast darkness that had surged in, and only a few dark shadows of the fish that had slipped through the net scurried in and into Simon's room.
in the room.
The darkness and the transparent and clear light were entangled, and the two devoured each other, both trying to swallow the other first.
In the end, the clear light was completely defeated by the continuous replenishment of darkness in this oppressive environment, and the inky darkness began to gradually eat away at the cool light.
Seeing that he was invincible, Simon immediately cut off the power of the Eternal Mirror and threw it out.
The dark greed was revealed at this moment, and after swallowing up the power in front of him, it still entrenched in the room, forming a pitch-black sphere the size of a football, and slippery tentacles covered with sucker barbs loomed out of it and continued to wrap around him.
Around the corner of the hallway outside the room, Aiken didn't know when he had arrived.
He was staring closely at Simon's room with his head down, and under his originally bright red hair, next to his handsome face that had been smiling, there was another face at some point. A sad face and a handsome face side by side, and then squeezed together on a small face, looked extremely strange.
At this time, the two faces were constantly muttering, and from time to time they could be seen holding their own opinions and arguing fiercely.
The sad face was constantly reprimanding the smiling face, and the sharp voice echoed in this small place, but it was not transmitted in the slightest.
"Fool, we don't have time, this damn mage stays here and won't come out, doesn't he even need to eat? If we continue like this, it will soon be the day of the fire, maybe in the next second, and then we will be found by that terrible fire and swallowed in one gulp. ”
The sad face said as he shook the black liquid that kept flowing from his lower body.
The black liquor kept tumbling, bubble after bubble. Occasionally, faces like human faces tumbled in the bubbles, their eyes wide open, their mouths expanding to the limit, and their mouths constantly emitting silent wails of pain.
"You see, we're almost out of control, and we don't even dare to get too close to the campfire now, and if we don't get a new body, we're really going to be done. The sorrowful countenance kept making shrill sounds, and the long, narrow, gloomy eyes kept blinking, and a large number of whites of the eyes were revealed.
"Remember, this firewood hasn't been eroded by the flames, but it's our last chance, you must trick him out of the campfire, understand, idiot!"
"Okay, I'll try to it. The smiling face was a little aggrieved, "But what if he stays in the room and doesn't come out? ”
"Are you stupid? Didn't I tell you to figure out a way? Can you ask him out for coffee and talk about ideals? Just like you did when you were chasing a girl outside, talk to him more, in this dead dark world, anyone will be lonely, you know!"
Bang!!!
Just as Aiken's two faces whispered, the door where Simon was was directly kicked open, most of the walls were shattered, and a figure walked out in their stunned eyes.
Simon dragged most of the monster covered with tentacle suction cups, allowing it to wrap around his body and twitch violently, and the protective spells on his body became more and more blurred under the monster's attack, as if it would disappear in the next second.
Not far from the monster's ability to be dragged out of the room, the campfires in the hall swarmed like jackals that had spotted their prey, and the scorching sparks continued to fall like a chaotic feather.
The monster was instantly ignited by the drifting sparks, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a puddle of burning ash substance, and the hot tongue of fire suddenly burst out of the ashes, constantly licking Simon's cheeks, and the terrifying high temperature directly burned his protective spell to nothing, and the orange tongue of fire was like sympathetic warm hands, constantly caressing his face,
It's just that this kind of gentleness is not something that anyone can bear.
Simon's face first became red and then quickly covered with blisters, and then the blisters burst instantly, and a large amount of skin cracked and dried into burnt tenderloin, exuding an attractive taste, even Aiken, who was standing at the old corner, involuntarily swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva, it was really fragrant!
In the midst of the flames, a vast will constantly tempted him, trying to make him completely embrace the flame in front of him and become one with Him.
Simon didn't hear this, his face was still as flat as before, as if it wasn't his own face that was now scenting, and as if he didn't feel the slightest sense of the will in the flames, he walked straight to the room next to him, without the slightest hesitation.
"Sure, the will of the campfire is no longer able to affect the subjective mind for the time being. ”
Simon walked back, grabbing the swelling and shrinking of his chest, a face that looked eight or nine points similar to him was howling to break free from the amulet.
"The degree of damage to the talisman is less than one percent, and it is initially estimated that the impact of this degree can withstand more than one hundred and twenty times, and the life consumption is about one hundred and forty-three days, and this method is confirmed to be feasible. ”
Simon was indifferent to the machine, making sure that the talisman he had made was indeed effective and workable.
Previously, he took his own flesh, skin, and hair, and then stripped off all his seven emotions, six desires and five senses, and then sealed it in this talisman with an evil method, just to let it resist the influence of the will of the bonfire for himself.
Of course, this evil method of preventing disasters was originally used on others to ward off disasters for himself, but now Simon has replaced it with his own seven emotions, six desires and five senses, and naturally there are many sequelae.
At this moment, not to mention the disappearance of his seven emotions and six desires, the five senses are also reduced to the minimum, and every time he uses the will to resist the bonfire with the help of the talisman, he will consume a lot of his lifespan, even if he dissolves the evil art and retrieves the seven emotions and six desires and five senses, he will be affected a lot, and he will fall into a lot of sequelae. And once the opponent's strength exceeds the resistance limit of his own calamity protection talisman, the talisman will be destroyed immediately.
At that time, Simon's body will also be attacked more seriously, and he is afraid that his will be directly captured by the other party, and he will become a stone-like existence, without any self-thinking.
But it's all worth it, and there is something to give. Otherwise, he will be trapped in this strange imperial city all the time, and he is tempted by the flames all the time, wanting to completely integrate into it.
This thought grew stronger and stronger, so much so that many times he wanted to leave this damp, cold and dark room, and go to the campfire to enjoy the indescribable warmth and light, and become a firewood in it.
This is absolutely not allowed by Simon, he can die but he will never become a puppet of some will, without ego.
Therefore, he is very good now, the infectious temptation that lingers in the depths of his soul has been transferred to the talisman on his body at this moment, and Simon can also take advantage of the present time to explore and understand the world, looking for a way to escape.
"Hey, Master Green, I don't know ...... you" Aiken, who was around the corner, suddenly walked out of the corner and greeted Simon.
But at this moment, a warm light of fire came from the center of the distant imperial city, it penetrated the heavy houses, and also penetrated the world shrouded in darkness, and the warm light directly illuminated the entire imperial city.
The flames on the lampposts on both sides burned rapidly, emitting a dazzling light, and the entire imperial city was like daylight, completely revealing its original majestic and majestic face.
In the original darkness, countless evil creatures and monsters retreated like crazy, but they couldn't escape the shroud of the light at all, and were instantly burned by the light and turned into thick black smoke and disappeared into the light, only a few lucky and powerful evil creatures escaped, hiding far away in the darkness outside the imperial city, looking at the imperial city shrouded in light at this moment.
Not far from Simon, Aiken seemed to have encountered a ghost, his two faces were full of terror, and the foul-smelling black water escaped from his lower body as if it were alive, trying to hide in the corner of the corridor.
However, the light was so blazing that before they could escape, they were already burned into flames, leaving only Aiken's desperate cry.
"No!! how is this possible, how can the fire day come so quickly, obviously it was only ...... last time"
Simon still looked at all this indifferently, without the slightest expression on his face.
Around him, several figures had already walked from the room at this moment, and they didn't care about Aiken who had turned into ashes, but with an irresistible majesty, they dragged Simon to the burning hall, and then quietly pulled out a piece of firewood from the bonfire and took it in their hands.
Even Simon was no exception, and a burning torch was forced into his hand.
