Advent Chapter Seventy-Four: The Rite of the Dead

The gray-black energy mist of Dementors was like a soap bubble pierced by a stone, but the process was much faster and more obvious than that, only to see one by one the Dementors dissipate their bodies in the air, fade their colors, and did not even let out a scream, just died under Pesso's fighting spirit.

Plop Plop Plop ......

The magnificent soul crystal nucleus fell straight to the ground, and the indescribable absolute temptation of the soul instantly attracted everyone's attention, and the feeling of hunger and thirst that had never been felt before immediately made people lose their minds.

The trembling guy had a dull expression, his eyes were empty, he picked up an egg-sized soul crystal nucleus with the most heartfelt attitude, and the indescribable light penetrated into the soul through his eyes, the indescribable beauty, the indescribable happiness, the feeling that he had never had surrounded it, life has never been so satisfying and happy, this person held the soul crystal nucleus and shed tears of joy.

Poof—

The curved Malayklux sword came out through his chest, but the person holding the soul crystal nucleus in his hand still smiled with intoxicated happiness, and the blood at the corner of his mouth dripped on the soul crystal nucleus in his hand, and the blood-stained soul crystal nucleus emitted a strange blood light, as if there was life, like the breath of life flashed and flashed.

A group of guys who have just escaped the influence of Rompeggy's potion once again reveal their savage nature in the face of the temptation that reaches the soul, and the violent snatching turns into a life-and-death killing and fighting under the guidance of extreme state emotions.

Weapons killed each other, sticks shattered skulls, axes slashed necks, daggers slit throats, claws tore chest cavities......

The metal floor of the hall was stained red with blood, and the severed head fell in a pool of blood, and there was no winner in the frantic fight, and the last guy who survived fell in a pool of blood with the stump corpse, only those soul crystal nuclei were still flickering with life......

In the control room, Elaine sat on a metal chair, holding the airship control ring with both hands and slowly putting it on her head.

Woo Woo ......

A series of start-up sounds sounded, and the light projection system in the control room was fully activated, and the holograms of the airship itself and the surrounding areas floated in front of Elaine.

The metal hatch of the airship had not yet closed, and the strong smell of blood attracted the elemental beasts that rushed into the safe zone, and the slow dissipation of human souls also attracted the Dementors who wandered nearby.

A large number of angry elemental demonic beasts rushed into the airship with red eyes under the stimulation of Rompeggy's potion, and the clear sound of chewing immediately sounded in the hall.

By the time Elaine closed the airship hatch completely, dozens of elemental beasts were about to devour the corpses in the hall, but these did not bother people, and what really worried Elaine was the dementors who followed and were floating in the air at the moment staring at the control room with the eyes of their prey.

The abilities of ordinary elemental demonic beasts are not enough to destroy the door of the control room, but the dementors are different, the soul attack has a significant effect on destroying energy protection, and it can only support a few minutes if left unchecked, and more importantly, there are also dementors and elemental demonic beasts attacking the outer wall of the airship on the periphery of the airship, and the energy reserves of the medium-sized transport-level magic airship are insufficient, and the protection level is also very low, so it can't hold on for a long time.

So there have to be trade-offs!

Is it to continue to insist on waiting, waiting for Ye Xiao, who doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, and who doesn't know when he will come back here to meet him, at the risk of being discovered by the Shadow Alliance and locking the airship, and must abide by the agreement no matter what?

Still is...... Choosing to leave?

With the speed of the magic airship, ten minutes is enough to fly out of the mountain pass of the dome, and Pesso thinks that with his talent and current state, he can save his life by using the "Small Cosmic Hormone" again, and another two minutes is enough to slaughter the entire inner hall.

And because of the particularity of the environment and the flight limit of the Dementors, as long as a minute of climbing the airship does not need to be attacked by the Dementors, the remaining energy reserves can obviously support the airship to face several unexpected situations.

And at a certain height, the Shadow Alliance can't remotely control the magic airship as much as they want.

So leaving right away is the right and wise choice!

This was Pesso's conclusion after thinking about it, but he knew that the decision was not up to him, and Pesso was not prepared to do any verbal persuasion to the person who made the decision, because he knew the other party's temper very well.

The silence in the control room signaled attitude, and Pesso stood up and began to prepare. At this moment, many images flashed through his mind, but those did not affect his thinking. On the contrary, those memories of the past made him think more positively about using his life to fight for Elaine's advantage.

The "Small Cosmic Hormone" was clenched tightly in the palm of his hand, and Pesso reached out and grasped the glass handle of the door, and at this moment......

Buzz –

The airship is vibrating, taking off, climbing upwards.

"Pesso, I really ...... I still want to live. With a gloomy expression and a calm tone, Elaine's current state made Peso on the side extremely uncomfortable, and he tried his best to comfort Elaine, but he could only stretch out his hand and put it down abruptly.

The hologram of the magic airship climbed diagonally upward, Elaine raised her chin, looked at the diagonal upward with a vacant look and said, "I'm not what I imagined at all, and I don't deserve to leave here, but ......"

Elaine lowered her head, strands of hair hanging down to cover her face, but her trembling body exposed her heart.

"Obviously said that kind of thing, obviously want to leave here together......" The fist was clenched against the knee, the back stiffened, and the energy in Elaine's body was fluctuating with the mood swings.

(Not like that!)

Pesso wanted to shout.

(If it weren't for me, you wouldn'...... )

Pesso's forward steps stopped because of a tear.

Tears that fell unusually slowly fell on the back of Elaine's smooth, white hand, and the crystal scattered tears refracted pink and colored light, and Pesso saw his own appearance in the scattered tears, which was calm.

(Miss Elaine, it turns out that you have ...... It's already so deep. )

Boom!

The glass door of the control room was opened by Pesso, and the "Small Cosmic Hormone" syringe was also aimed at the position of his neck, and Pesso did not lose control, on the contrary, he was very calm.

(The basic premise is that Miss Elaine leaves here safely, and the Dementors must not be allowed to attack unwantonly and cause unnecessary waste of energy, and even if there are accidents, these Dementors must be destroyed...... )

Time seemed to stop at the moment Pesso opened the door, because he didn't know when it started, and an inverse pentagram magic array composed of dense bone badges suddenly appeared in the hall.

Under the gray-white light, many elemental demonic beasts were all frozen by the magic array, and in just a few blinks of an eye, the gray-white anti-mango star magic array expanded like a blow, and the elemental demonic beasts captured under the magic array also turned into dry bones at this time.

The magic array spread rapidly, and the dementors could not avoid it, but this time, under the gray-white light, the dementors not only dissipated their energy forms, but even the soul crystal nuclei were absorbed and devoured by the magic array.

(Rite of the Dead!, who the hell is summoning?!)

This kind of undead ritual completely shattered Pesso's calmness and composure, and in a complete panic, he took out another syringe from his belt and aimed it at his neck.

However, just as the syringe was about to touch the skin, a palm stretched out from behind him stopped Pesso's movements.

"It's okay, Pesso. The inexplicable relieved tone sluggish Pesso's movements, the wings of his nose wrinkled and stirred, and Pesso was so angry that even his breathing was trembling violently.

"It's nice to not have to make choices like that. As if there was some kind of redemption, the expression on Elaine's face was one of utterly calm serenity.

"That's not the case!" Pesso shouted, he could accept Elaine's depression, but he could never accept Elaine giving up.

"Two people......" Peiso's figure holding on to the door frame blocked the dazzling gray light, Elaine raised her head and looked at Pesso with some confusion on the expression of anger on her face that had never been before.

"Of course, the weight of two people is much heavier than one person, obviously it was he who decided to find the antidote, why do you have to take the responsibility on yourself?! If it weren't for me, you would definitely stay, when can you think about yourself!" The blue-black veins spread across Pesso's face, and the loss of life unfolded on Pesso's body at a visible speed, but the crumbling figure still held on to the door frame.

"You ......" Elaine stretched out her hand and stroked Pesso's face, and said in a smiling accusatory tone, "It's not like me, I've never thought about myself. ”

The gentle pink energy temporarily blocked the magical effect of the "Rite of the Dead", and Pesso could no longer hold it and fell forward.

Elaine squatted on the ground and hugged Pesso's weak and thin body, the pink energy shield kept shrinking under the erosion of gray, Elaine looked at the gray energy that kept overflowing outside the door and was silent.

And at this moment, Peso, who was so weak that he couldn't even open his eyes, suddenly grabbed Elaine's arm.

"Miss Elaine. Muddy tears overflowed his eyes, and Pesso used all his strength to squeeze Elaine's wrist and said, "You must escape from here......"

"There's never a mistake in wanting to live. Pesso, who was extremely weak, said words that were extremely firm, and at this moment, Elaine, who was in contact with Pesso's eyes, also felt Pesso's unspoken heart.

Click-Whoa-Woo-Woo

The gray light of the magic array suddenly dimmed, the energy disorder stirred the air, and the bone fragments and flying ash drifted everywhere with the whirlwind protruding in the hall, and Elaine also reached out to cover it when the blood energy was exhausted.

Broken bones and ashes fell to the ground, and the vision came and disappeared very suddenly, holding Pesso, who had fallen into a coma, Elaine saw such a chaotic but calm scene through the gap between her fingers.

(It's you, Ye Xiao.) )

(It must be you, Ye Xiao.) )

(Someone as tenacious as you will definitely try all your best to the end.) )

(I'm sorry, Ye Xiao, I'm sorry.) )

(I said something like that.) )

(But if it's you, you'll be able to keep going.) )

(When I come back, it won't be long, it's true, once I can escape the elemental energy disorder zone, I will be able to contact people from the outside world, really, so...... Be sure to wait for me...... )

Mu Ran's eyes, tears overflowing uncontrollably, Elaine put down Peso's body, turned around and walked to the console of the magic airship......

..................................................................

The sky was gray, the air was gray, and everything as far as the eye could see was lifeless, with undulating mounds in the distance and gray-white dry bones beneath our feet.

The heavy sky of cumulus clouds seemed to carry heavy power, Ye Xiao looked around with his head up, the empty wilderness did not have a trace of vitality, and when his steps retreated, the withered bones were trampled to pieces.

"The Bone Wasteland, this is probably the realm of the undead. An unfamiliar male voice sounded behind Ye Xiao, and Ye Xiao, who heard this, also turned around and began to look at the mysterious man.
