Chapter 14: The Bird's Cry (Part II)

- Cedar

Easily defeated by the Jasper Flower, I could only watch myself sink into the sea of death.

Although the consciousness is becoming more and more hazy, the vision is strangely clear. I kept my eyes on the top, and at that far away, the shining, shattering light was like the surface of the sea.

It's really tiring...... I can only apologize to myself -

I'm sorry......

Really, I'm sorry......

I can't blame anyone else, it's my own fault......

Is this my sin? I mourn because I am weak......

"Sad......" was completely sudden, and a faint sigh came from the dark abyss, like a wave of water that shook my scattered soul.

"You ......"

"Monster ......" The unknown being in the abyss replied softly to me, a tired, sleeping, awakened female voice.

Monster...... Did I drop it to make your food?

No, I actually...... I really want to live......

Thinking like this, I struggled in pain to get to the top. But I don't have the strength to paddle the icy waters of death.

I...... There is no power to swim on the dazzling sea.

"Is it spring, boy?" said the monster, weakly again.

"What the hell are you ......" tell me, what kind of monster the hell is, thinking so, my soul asked her.

"Do you want to live, failed boy?" she asked me listlessly, not answering.

I tried my best to look at the glorious sea: "Why, I want to live......"

I was so longing.

"Are you willing to live even if you have to bear endless doom?" her voice came closer, and seemed to be more awake than just now, "There is a man-eating monster waiting for you above the water......

Do you mean Klut? Even so, I want to live...... I want strength, I want it so much!

"If you want it even so, accept my strength......

"Power...... That's right, I ...... I need strength!" I struggled, reaching out to the glorious sea.

(I want, up, power!)

"Thirsty, even if it's a cursed power......"

It doesn't matter, if you want to return to everyone, you first need strength!

"Give it to me, I need your strength!" I looked back into the abyss, where it was dark and terrifying.

"If you desire, swear an oath. The incredible sound came from the swaying darkness.

"Swear, what swear, will I give my soul to you......"

"Make a vow to fight with me," the woman continued, "and make a vow to continue fighting in the future." ”

Why do you hear such a voice and receive such an invitation?

But, while hesitating, I gazed at the swaying and burning surface of the water.

"What happens if you make an oath?"

"I can use my power as much as I want, and gain the power to annihilate the enemy. And then...... Carry my doom and become an unfortunate person who can only fight to the death. ”

"How, ...... like this"

"If that's bearable, swear it. Have the intention to fight, and only in this way can you get a chance to be reborn......"

If I die, I have nothing, and now all I have left is the distant, dazzling sea in my eyes, and the broken consciousness.

That's all there is, but because that's all there is to it—

"Boy, choose. You have lost your future, do you want to swear, or ......"

Plop! There was a throbbing in his chest—

"Or ...... Give it up. ”

"No—"

Not only did I think about it, but I even cried out, and my instinct struggled desperately.

It's worth it to live even then, right?

"Everybody came crying, carrying the curse......" said the woman, and different scenes changed around me as I dimmed—

The breathtakingly beautiful sea of red roses, weeping in the rain of flowers and corpses, the little boy holding the demon knife that emits red light in his arms-

It's Harden.

Holding a bracelet that glows gold, a girl buried by a rose thorn, a dying and shattered girl—

It should be Harden's sister Maryse.

Outside the palace were rioting armed people, inside the palace were panicked kings and courtiers, young brothers and sisters, and the young princess clutching the navy blue brooch was—

Sister Paris.

The tsunami that washed away the land, the shattered wreckage, the countless corpses that were swept into the deep sea, the little boy holding the golden flute at the bottom of the sea-

Ivan.

The boy and girl who ran in the chaos of the war held the gray-colored cloth bag tightly in his hand-

Meng Jin's predecessor and Meng Duli's sister.

Surrounded by countless monsters, the huge jade flower that vibrated in a rage was actually roaring-

Kluet.

Outside the ruined palace in the dark night, the man in white who was strangled in countless black satin was about to die, and he was clutching a blood-stained silver spear.

The costumes and the tragic condition all seemed unfamiliar, but it was Mr. He.

Crawling inch by inch in the wilderness, with nothing, dirty and tired, but the man's eyes were firmer and brighter than anyone else—

Mr. Jean.

A heroic boy who fights all the way through the wreckage, with blonde hair dyed with black plasma, surrounded by zombies...... Or the girl, stepping on the golden moss, with countless beautiful threads of pale gold emitting from her hands, and her eyes are strong.

I don't know this Champion, but I do know that he (or she) is the strongest Synth or its Contractor.

And the petite girl who ran in the rainy night with the dead man's skull in her hand, her crying golden eyes full of hatred and determination—

"Evil Spirit" Wu Anya.

Have they all been as desperate as I am...... They've all survived, and I'm going to die?

"I don't want to!" I yelled, my voice hurting.

"Oath...... Establish. The woman's voice drew closer and closer, and finally rang in my ears.

In the haze, I saw the light peach-colored Hanfu with wide sleeves, and the woman's fair and slender hand gently put it on my shoulder.

Just like the flash just now, in an instant, my soft body, which was still on the verge of death in the abyss of death, was filled with fierce power.

All the pain was like being swept away by the spring breeze, and with the gentle but solid support of the woman, a huge amount of magic flowed freely and peacefully in my body!

There were phantoms in front of me again, and I saw them—little Harden wielding a beautiful fire glow to sweep through the sea of flowers, Sister Marys was protected into a cocoon by golden metal, Sister Paris led a large tsunami with flowing blue lines, little Ivan rushed out of the sea with a twist on the clouds, the Mengjin brothers and sisters smashed all their opponents with soot, Klut crushed all obstacles with a thousand miles of jade flowers, and Mr. He's silver spear pierced through the monster and caused a silver explosion......

When I came back to my senses, I was already approaching the place I longed for—towards the dazzling sea—

That real world is within reach!

"Then become a scabbard and live to die...... Wake up now, even if you have to face a thousand years of misery!" the woman said loudly behind me.

I wanted to look back at the woman, but the beautiful hands on my shoulders had turned into vines and enveloped me, and the heat pouring into my body from there swirled around me, and the power that gushed out brought a sense of rise.

"Fight! the strength necessary for this is already condensed in you!" her voice came from within herself.

"Whoa, whoa, a......a

Almost at the same time, there was a crisp sound of shattering some kind of large, hard object.

"Wow, ahhhh

In my hand is the beautiful pale cyan acpier, I don't know where it came from, but this is my weapon.

"Before you get a break, there are obstacles in front of you......" This time, the woman's voice came out of the sword.

Obstacles?ah, yes, and monsters—

I looked at Kluet, and he was looking at me incredulously.

The turquoise color surged from all sides, and in my shaky vision, the blue sword that housed my contract monster scattered a soft green light, blocking all the mana that flowed wildly around me!

The jade flower approached, and I subconsciously blocked the green sword in front of me again, but this time I felt that I could block it-

The bright green light gushed like water, collided with the flowers in front of it, and there was a violent explosion!

"Although the form is different from what I imagined, we are still reunited, beauty. Klute said with a sneer.

"Tell me your name, boy," the woman said, "I'm Xenomorph No. 5 'Brown Branch', my name is Dengzhi, and my ability is 'Purification and Rejuvenation'!"

"Ascending the branches...... My name is Zhou Xuesong......"

"Hey, ignore me, beauty?" Klut shook the leaves, "You can't forget me, right?" re-introduce, Superbreed Six, 'Green Jade' Kluet. ”

"Thanks to you, Klut," the countless branches lifted me into the air, and Denori replied calmly, "you have inspired my contractor in the most brutal way...... But now is the time for a reversal!

The gushing power turned into countless stretched branches, and tender green leaves poured out, purifying Krut's infestation with that new power!

"Nobu-eda, please, my companion......"

"Understood. "The trees and vines that forced back the jade flowers stretched all the way, Ellie and Xiao Jiu were surrounded by the flower vines, the hard jade was purified, and they finally recovered from their coma!

"Thank you......" Next, I have to face the facts that I have recognized for a long time -

I'm no match for Kluter.

Even now, with Nobue's help, I'm no match for Klut.

Because of the strength, because the perception is sharper than before, it is possible to realize this more deeply - Klut is really strong.

And Nobue, who is theoretically stronger than Krut, is dragged down because of my weakness.

Dengzhi, like Mr. He, is a strong person who helps me. Even now, I am still receiving the favor of others......

So, now it's time to do ......

"Dengzhi, please help me blast off the 'space shackles'!" This is probably the first independent judgment I have made since I came to Bai Shi.

"A wise move, Cedar. Ascending Zhi responded, and the surging magic power gathered and scattered on the mountain rock, and countless flowers and vines pierced into the rock, and continued to expand—

The rocks that were shaken made a cracking sound and crumbled in all directions!

The night sky was revealed, and I saw the most spectacular colored meteor shower of my life!

"So Pretty ......" bathed in the wind and the pouring starlight, I felt relieved - finally, the lockdown was lifted......

"Shogun-sama!" "Komatsu!"

The voice of the Nine Emperors quickly approached, and I knew that this would be considered saved.

"Well, you're not bad, Zhou Xuesong. Still smiling at me with a disdainful smile, Klute used jade flowers to block the rain of weapons from above, "Let's fight again next time!

"Shut up, bastard!" In the falling mountain rocks, Wang Yanwu's predecessor wrapped the flames and struck him directly, and the jade burst out!

But before I could react, Klute had already leaped out on the violently growing jade flower!

Just like that, he crashed into the seniors, and he jumped into the air!

"I'm already addicted, uncle, it's time to go!" he shouted arrogantly, "I'm already hungry, let's fight again next time, you guys!"

"Cut, it's still not fast enough......" All the attacks of the seniors failed to hit before Klutt's "spatial shackles" were activated, and by constantly jumping and unfolding the spatial shackles, he jumped in space like that, and disappeared with the obviously embarrassed Wu Anya.

The seniors anxiously gathered around, climbed the branches and stretched the branches, and let the unconscious Ellie and Xiao Jiu gently fall into the arms of Wang Yanwu and Yuan Feilang.

"It's 'Blue and White Meditation'......" Sangi's senior looked at me and the countless branches of Noboree, his eyes were full of shock and worry, "And there are also synthetic beast ......"

I know, Nobueda said, and the contract itself is a curse...... But, at least I survived.

"Ascending the branch......" I called to the monster softly.

"What's wrong, Cedar?" took the initiative to gather his strength, and Nobue's voice was still listless, but gentle.

"All this...... Is it all true? I ...... No dead ......"

"Yes, it is the result of the pact you made with me, and I will follow you until the day you die in battle......" Nobue's words were ruthless, but they reassured me.

"Is it true, I chose to be incompetent......" I cried again, I held the demon sword "Blue and White Meditation" tightly, and hugged the branches that changed from the branches.

"Well, just as you are willing to choose me, I am attracted by your dreams......" The flowing power gathered peacefully, the branches and vines slowly faded, and Nobuzhi responded softly, "It is both a weapon and a poison, is it to use my power to achieve my dream of living happily with my friends, or will I eat away at my dream and die...... Please fight against me and bear the bad luck......"

Her strength slowly retracted, and I realized that my fatigue had reached its limit.

"I'm so tired......"

"It's time to take a break, Cedar. ”

"Is it really possible? Can you really relax?" My limp body was about to collapse, and I was so afraid that I would die if I breathed a sigh of relief......

"It's okay already...... soft branches supported me, and Dengzhi gently pushed me into the arms of Sister Xin Li, who looked worried.

"Are you really okay?" I couldn't stop crying somehow, "I want to live, I want everyone to live......"

"That's why you accepted the temptation of the synthetic beast in order to bear the bad luck with everyone......" Sister Xin Li hugged me tightly, "But it's good to be alive, Cedar ......"

I felt unable to concentrate again, and gradually I fell unconscious, but this time, I felt that I was dreaming, dreaming that Harden and they were walking far ahead.

I was screaming, and Harden was looking back at me.

Even if there are immeasurable magical beasts like black clouds in front of them, I really want to walk with them...... Anyway, I want to go down with them!

Just try your best to catch up, I'm not going to stop this time!I know I'm scared, but I'm going to catch up! I know I'm weak, but—

I have a promise, a promise that would have been my last word—if I live, O rivals, you won't be able to do whatever you want!

——·——

The heart that has been reduced to sorrow

No one can save it

If you make yourself too strong

It will only shed tears of heartbreak

I know what you shouldn't give up easily

I still firmly believe in the path I decide

Still, there are injuries that can't be wiped away

If we meet again, how will we face it?

I want to be stronger, no matter when

so that you can bear that sorrow

Even to continue to survive

I was also asked what it meant

However, there is no such thing as a correct answer

We can only move forward with our heads held high

I had no choice but to give up my memories

If you cry out of remorse, that's fine

Even so, that is tomorrow to come

The unforgivable love will still overflow

Instead of showing a fake smile

Pour out your true sorrow to me

At the moment of birth

Whatever everyone is carrying

If it were called fate

We go forward for the sake of witnessing

It flowed like sand

That whole life

I'll never sigh again

I just want to survive

In front of being able to live beautifully

The tears of heartbreak have turned into strength
