Chapter Ninety-Six: Atonement

"Break through?" Kitty crossed her arms in front of Tarrant, "Calm down, this is too risky, impulsiveness will only make us lose you!"

"Take Katrina out as much as you can", Tarrant panicked and pulled out the other parts of the Stone Guardian from the Spirit Pattern Bag, if he was fully dressed, the chances of survival when attacked would be much greater, he didn't care about the consequences, he just wanted to find the exit.

"Tarrant", Rex reached out and grabbed Tarrant's arm, "What are you doing?Dozens of traps are in front of you, and you are stupid enough to think you can get past it alive?!"

"Gotta try!" Tarrant broke away from the priest's hand and continued to tighten his wrist armor as he looked in front of him, "I remember where the Blade, the Fire Charge, and the Lightning Chain were, at least to avoid all three." ”

"This is only a small part of the aisle, any other one is enough to kill you, your death is worthless, it will only put us in a more difficult situation!" Rex was limited at this time, unable to force Tarrant, so he could only try his best to convince, "Once you die in front, Katrina, and we will lose our chance to survive completely." ”

Tarrant's hand stopped in the air, and he understood that the meaning of breaking through was almost death, but at the moment he couldn't allow himself to do nothing, "...... How can I save her?"

"Calm, the more difficult it is, the more we need to keep a careful mind, and reason tells us that we should avoid it. ”

"Avoid?" Tarrant stared at the bones of the skeleton golems scattered on the ground with resentment, very unwilling, "Damn the passage!" An idea suddenly flashed to him, a method related to "avoidance", "Rex, is there a way to go straight without touching the trap range?"

"What do you mean?"

"Even if there are traps ahead, they need to be triggered by the force of the floor, and if we don't touch the floor, we can get through it. ”

Kitty seemed to realize, "Fly over?"

"Almost, hang, make a suspension with the halberd in the conference room just now, I can hang it over", Tarrant looked at his teammates, "the only way." ”

"It's more feasible than just now, but can you throw a halberd against the opposite wall in your current physical condition?" Rex questioned.

"I'll know if I tried, wait for me", Tarrant put down his armor and ran down the hall, and in the blink of an eye, he was back in the second aisle.

Although he may only be separated by a wall from his teammates, Tarrant is completely isolated, and only his own footsteps can be heard nearby, and he walks to the conference room with a torch.

"What are you fighting for?" a slight female voice suddenly emerged from the silence.

Tarrant was startled and stopped, "Who?" the katana was clenched in his hand.

"You're just going to repeat mistakes and send your teammates to their deaths. ”

The mysterious voice seemed familiar, Tarrant recalled, walking towards the source, "Who the hell are you?"

A fiery red robe came into view, noble, exquisite, so familiar and kind, it had repeatedly appeared in Tarrant's memories, and the relatives who had been missed in the helpless fate, Tarrant's hand holding the knife trembled slightly, and his voice was blocked as if he couldn't make a sound.

"Everything that happens here stems from your blind confidence, stupidity, selfishness," the robe slowly moved forward, his slender fingers pointing directly at Tarrant, "You let everyone die here." ”

The snapping accusation instantly broke Tarrant's defenses, "No! it's not something I could have predicted!" he took a step back, his breath causing heart-wrenching pain, "I never wanted any of you to be hurt!"

"The truth is that you sacrificed everyone, and you yourself have survived until now!" "The tone was full of resentment and contempt, "and I wandered alone in the forest, forever accompanied by cold and loneliness." ”

"You...... I thought ......" Tarrant knotted the tip of his tongue, unable to utter a word of defense, he had no other consciousness than guilt and pain, and if he had a choice, he wished it was him, not her, who had died.

"If you still hold fast to your virtues, and keep the vows you made before Maxine, take responsibility for what you have done!"

Tarrant looked up weakly, "I ......"

"Come and accompany me, come here, we are a family, and I will forgive you for your past mistakes. ”

"I'll ...... with you", Tarrant slowly raised his katana, a blue glow flashing from the blade to the tip of the blade, "But ......"

"Enough is enough! stop making excuses for your cowardice and selfishness, put an end to this!"

"Katrina is still ......" Tarrant hesitated, and at the mention of the name, his mind immediately flashed with the mage's angry figure, pouting and waving his fist, shouting loudly, "Tarrant, what are you waiting for! Get out of here!"

"Do you want to shirk responsibility again!"

"I'll take responsibility and wait until this is over!" Tarrant put down his knife, "Find the exit, let them out, I'll stay!"

"Coward, bask in your own excuses, I'll curse you forever!" the figure roared, and the facial organs began to mix.

"Mara......," Tarrant called her name in panic and stretched out his arms.

"I'll never forgive you!" his figure skyrocketed, his complexion turning a deep purple, and before Tarrant's touch could dissipate.

Tarrant walked through the air, kneeling on the ground with his arms folded, "Mara ......" that poor girl, who was slowly tormented by death, she was so helpless and needed Tarrant's warmth, and he had never really done anything for Mara, Mara was right, he was a selfish person, a complete coward, he didn't dare to take responsibility, sacrifice his teammates, the meaning of his existence was so low, not even as good as a dirty robber in the ghetto......

The katana was raised to his neck, the cold blade pressed against his throat, Tarrant closed his eyes, "Mara, I will atone for my mistakes", his right hand stopped in the air, "Katrina, this qiē is all caused by me......"

She still has a chance to live, if there is an exit...... Tarrant opened his eyes, it was not the time yet, he was carrying the lives of his teammates on his shoulders.

"What are you doing!"

Tarrant turned his head blankly, not seeing anyone.

"Wake up! True Vision!"

He numbly followed the instructions and took out the badge from the Spirit Pattern Bag, "True Vision." The energy was transmitted along his fingertips, and suddenly the thing in front of him was distorted, and a man stood in front of him.

"Rex?!...... What's going on?" Tarrant woke up from his nightmare.

"You've been gone for too long, and I'm worried you're hallucinating again. ”

"I ......" Tarrant remembered the scene just now, Mara's face was so clear, those accusations pierced his heart like a sword, was that an illusion...... Or Mara's resentment......

Rex helped him up, "Who was Mara you just mentioned?"

"A loved one. ”

Rex asked again, "You killed her?"

Tarrant bowed his head in silence, and the priest's unconscious words were a deep reproach to him that he could not answer.

"Forget it, let's hit the road", Rex put his hands on his hands and pushed Tarrant hard.

The two walked silently for a while, the light of the torches began to dim, and they were about to burn out, "I need to change the torches", Tarrant turned his head, "Do you still have burning materials?" He suddenly noticed that the priest was pushing him with both hands, and there were no torches in his hands.
