The sound of a cheerful chuckle echoed through the crimson world, but the laughter sounded as if it mimicked the appearance of "pleasure", rather than the emotions that the owner of the laughter actually had. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info In the burning ring of fire, Olivia's eyes were half-open, and there were only two floating flames in her pupils, but there was no trace of human breath.

"Martina, you're still so stubborn. ”

"Didn't you know what kind of character I was a long time ago?"

"Definitely. Olivia nodded suddenly: "That's why you will become her biggest support and my biggest obstacle." ”

"So now are you going to get rid of my obstacle?" The blonde female knight raised her long sword, the tip of the sword pointed directly at the girl under the divine wheel, and the whole person exuded a pure white halo, which looked particularly holy and holy in this crimson world.

"You're getting closer to the clouds. Olivia complimented, and a wisp of emptiness and confusion suddenly appeared in her eyes:

"Human beings are truly contradictory beings, longing for the power of God, but clinging to human identity. You are not willing to pay the price of losing your humanity, even though you know that you will be permanently stuck and lose eternal life, but you still choose to remain in this world. ”

"That's true of 'Olivia,' that's true of 'Prophet,' and ......so is true of 'Firmament,'" she sighed for a while, then suddenly raised her head and opened her half-closed eyes.

"It's ridiculous, now that you're in the clouds, then—"

The crimson pupils casually turned towards the surviving mortals in the distance, as if they just wanted to see what the "mortals" looked like and why the strongest were so attached to this mortal world. However, as soon as she noticed her gaze shifting, Martina shuddered and her face turned pale.

"Stop!"

She shouted eagerly, stomped the ground, and leapt straight in front of Olivia's eyes, trying to block Crimson's glance at the mortals with her body. Hearing the exclamation, Ian noticed their abnormality, and suddenly a sense of foreboding welled up in his heart, and he also stepped out and ran straight in the direction of the survivors.

They sensed Olivia's intentions, but the question was how could they run faster than Crimson could roll her gaze?

Ian's speed might have been possible, but he was too far away, and the movement of his pupils was too subtle, and by the time he judged the situation from Martina's exclamation, he had already slowed down.

A crimson gaze swept over the frightened faces of the guards. Martina flew forward, but could only look desperately at the few survivors in her red eyes.

A sea of fire swirled through her eyes, and there was nothing left in her path......

"What is there to cling to in their lives, their humanity, such humble beings that even my eyes can't bear?"

An indifferent and cruel voice rang out, plunging the audience into absolute silence for a moment.

Martina froze still, trembling with rage.

After a long silence, a roar sounded like thunder—

"Crimson!"

A volcanic eruption-like roar erupted from the female knight's mouth, and pure white flames suddenly burned from the glittering sword. The female knight rode the Pegasus, turned her figure into a white meteor, and roared towards the girl under the divine wheel.

This citrus white blow was so fierce that it tore the whole crimson world apart. However, in the face of Martina's angry blow, a contemptuous smile crossed the corners of Olivia's mouth, as if she saw nothing more than insignificant.

"I promised a 'she' that as long as you don't attack me, I won't be able to kill you. But now, it seems like you're giving up your life......"

She chuckled, raised her hand gracefully, and pointed her index finger at the white-gold sword, but just as the fingertips were about to touch the tip of the sword, a white hand suddenly appeared, and a long sword in the female knight's hand was pinched, and the collision between the meteor and the fingers was stopped in an impossible way.

"You?"

Martina let out an exclamation, only to feel that she had hit a heavy piece of black cotton, and her forward momentum was suddenly stopped. She staggered back a few steps and looked up in surprise, only to find that it was the young man who had stopped her.

Ian ...... Your Excellency?"

She hesitated to speak, because the young Sword Master in front of her was faintly different from before. At this time, he was wearing a black trench coat, no, perhaps an overcoat would be more appropriate. She could see that it was a mental weapon, but compared to the fact that the young man was a superior powerhouse, the coldness that emanated from him was similar to that of crimson was even more astonishing to her.

"Please tell me what the hell is going on later. ”

Ian handed back the sword with his backhand, turned to look directly at the girl under the divine wheel, and placed his right hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

"It turned out to be you. ”

Olivia smiled knowingly and slowly withdrew her outstretched index finger.

"It's me. ”

Ian replied in a deep voice. In the face of Crimson, he will not have any luck, knowing that the other party cannot fail to see his strength, so it is better to admit it generously. In fact, he felt that his meeting with Crimson was probably no coincidence, with an invisible hand fiddling with them. After the events in the Northern Regions, he especially hated this feeling.

"It's a pity, if it weren't for the seal on my body, I would have wanted to play with you. The girl's eyes were half-closed, and although she said "regret" in her mouth, there was no expression of "regret" on her face, only a smile that was simulated by the program.

"Sealed?" Ian raised his eyebrows in disbelief, he couldn't believe that the "Crimson" with such might was still in a sealed state, but he also knew that there was no need to doubt this, and with Crimson's arrogance, he probably didn't bother to deceive himself at all.

"I played a game with the Prophet and he placed three seals on me to see if I could get out of them. Olivia closed her eyes and explained calmly, "I know the first one is called 'Memory' and the second is 'Forgetting', but I can't find the third one anyway. ”

"Now it seems that the reason why he wants us to pass through Rusbell—" The girl looked up and said with a light smile, "Maybe it's because this last seal is actually you." ”

"So it was the 'Prophet', the Pope of the Most High Church, who asked you to bring me a message?"

"Yes. ”

"What does he want you to tell me?" Ian's eyes narrowed slightly, the prophet's prophecy he couldn't afford not to heed.

"On this ......" Olivia paused slightly, and said meaningfully, "...... Let the other 'me' answer you. ”

"After all...... The second seal is about to take effect. ”

As soon as her words fell, the glimmer of dawn began to rise from the horizon. The crimson world was shattered by the light, and the flames of the prairie suddenly stopped as if they had been submerged in the sea.

"Eternal night, you have to remember. ”

Under the light curtain of dawn, a faint halo appeared around the crimson girl, she opened her eyes, looked directly at Ian with that indifferent gaze, and said calmly and steadily.

"One day, you'll be faced with the same choice as I did. (To be continued.) )
