Chapter 57: Dusty Memories

When he opened his eyes, the first thing Constantine saw was a red-haired woman standing in front of the window, with her back to him.

"Are you awake?" Karina's voice was very faint, and the red-haired woman's gaze kept falling out of the window, as a top hunter, "Red Moon" could feel the movement behind her even if she didn't have to look at it.

Constantine looked around and found himself lying on a bed, a brightly lit and antique room with furniture at least a hundred years old.

In the haze, his first thought was: Where am I? Why am I here? Why is she there?

In the sea of consciousness, many broken fragments emerged, and Constantine fought his spirit, following his memory, trying to restore these broken memory puzzles one by one

At that time he seemed to have fallen for a powerful illusion, and was brought back the most painful memories, and then ......

He went back to his childhood, the carefree five years spent in the bitter winter: at that time, in winter, he stood in the snow to practice swords with his father, in the summer, he walked on the lake with the breeze, and in the spring, he lay on the grass with the little girl in a foreign country, and his two little hands reached out to the night sky, whispering to each other more than who caught the stars......

The picture changed again, he came to the border of Caroli, in that simple village, the village chief Digus at the dinner table let out a heroic laugh, the little guy who had just learned to shoot archery tugged at his sleeve, proudly told himself how many arrows he had shot today, and the cabin was rippling with a warm atmosphere......

These are the scenes he misses, the life he wants. It's not like now, hiding incognito, traveling in a foreign land, burying himself in magic and kendo all day long, thinking about plans to restore the country......

With just one thought, you can go back to the past, and you can be the carefree little boy again, instead of the bounty hunter Dawn with blood-stained hands now....

Isn't it great?

Joey, who was standing not far away, saw Constantine's body trembling towards the huge face formed by the red mist, knowing that this little guy had been completely controlled by illusion, and his heart couldn't help but sink, and he was about to make a move.

However, at this moment, the face formed by the blood-colored mist seemed to glance at him.

Joey snorted, shook his feet, and a line of blood trickled down his nose, almost unsteady on his feet. With just one glance, Beelzebub's terrifying spiritual power wounded him.

is worthy of the Abyss Demon King, it is so terrifying.

After the blood mist, there was a cold laugh from Younas, "Old friend, don't waste your efforts, my lord's will is in this plane, no one can disobey it, but don't worry, my lord has always been merciful, this little guy won't die too painful." ”

Unbeknownst to Constantine, he was still immersed in the environment created by Beelzebub, and walked towards the blood-colored face step by step.

Before he knew it, the blood-red mist had enveloped him.

Younas finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, he knew very well what would happen next, Beelzebub would completely devour the soul of the little one, and eventually turn the boy into a walking corpse.

He was ready to retreat, and as soon as the little creature died, and as soon as he got the holy relic, he would leave immediately, and not entangle with Joydo.

So far, so good.

At this moment, he saw a blue light flickering from the mist.

Younas's heart skipped a beat, and he recognized the source of the light, the crystal pendant he held in the boy's hand, the key he had searched for to open the tomb of St. Faust.

The blood mist rolled endlessly, letting out a silent roar, as if desperate to complete the gluttony, but unable to swallow Constantine's soul. That sky-blue glow exuded some kind of strange magic, indifferently resisting the terrifying spiritual coercion of the demon king Beelzebub.

The black-robed man's eyes widened, this was a situation that had never happened before, the will of the Abyss Demon King was so terrifying, even the Great Demon Master could only barely protect himself, with this kid's slight spiritual power, how could he resist?

In the sea of consciousness, Constantine felt a whirlwind of heaven, and the temperature around him dropped rapidly.

He was in the dead silence of the world he had seen in his dreams, the embers of the earth were still in place, the cold blizzard had frozen the seas and rivers, and when he looked up, the sky was a deep darkness.

Unlike the last dream, this time the dream was clearer, and he could even see clearly, in the extreme distance as far as his eye could see, many figures were running in panic.

Frost giants with tens of meters of body as they desperately climbed over the hills and fled into the distance, the primeval dragons soaring in the sky flapped their wings in a panic, and a tall unicorn roared in the sky and ran wildly in the forest that had not yet been covered in ice and snow.......

These powerful creatures, which only exist in mythology, are running away as much as they can, as if they are afraid of something.

Constantine found himself floating, and by the time he could react, he was already in the depths of the dark firmament.

The magnificent stars that once dotted the night sky had dimmed, and in the canopy, countless stars were wrapped in raging flames, falling down into destructive meteors and blasting into the earth.

Only a few stars remained, still twinkling in place.

Constantine's body was as light as a feather, soaring millions of miles, and in a trance, his body had come to a huge star. ‘

It is a blue star, and its surface is dotted with countless tall and magnificent towers and temples, the lowest one is more than 10,000 meters high, and together they form a magnificent complex of buildings, compared to them, the city of Olympia is like a small and delicate toy.

The moment he saw the star, Constantine felt a loud bang in his head.

In the real world, the boy holds his head, bends over, and moans in pain.

The light from the crystal pendant became more and more dazzling.

In my mind, it seems that some ancient being has awakened.

Suddenly, the boy slowly stood up, his eyes were no longer confused, only an ethereal indifference.

The aqua blue light emitted by the pendant erupted, conjuring countless ancient runes around the boy's body.

These runes did not belong to any of the known magical symbols, they were as if they had a soul of their own, and they flew around the boy's body with such agility that they flew up and down around him.

An inexplicable powerful force erupted from the runes, and the blood-colored mist was torn into red flocculents fluttering in the sky.

Even Joey, who was preparing a magic spell, was stunned for a moment, "What's the matter?"

The face of the demon king, which was condensed by blood-colored mist, after seeing this scene, the coldness and arrogance that had been maintained on his face disappeared, and the syllables of unknown meaning came out of his mouth, like a ball of wind, and then roared angrily, with a bit of disbelief.

Constantine stood in the flying runes, his eyes indifferent, stretched out his hand forward, and with a flick of it, those ancient runes bloomed with a dazzling blue light, as bright as the stars.

The blood-colored face twisted, and the Demon King's furious roar shook the entire void.

Powerful mental fluctuations swept by, stirring up waves of water a hundred meters high.

The top of the main hall kept disintegrating, sand and gravel dust fell like rain, and the huge dark green stone pillars exploded one after another in the wrestling of the two huge forces.

Even Joey had to retreat to the vicinity of the Golden Stone Terrace and use the magic of the circle to cast a powerful enchantment to protect himself from harm.

"I knew that the quality of the sewers designed by this old rascal Ingres was not ordinarily bad. Looking at the hall facing the catastrophe, the old mage actually had the leisure to curse, but his expression relaxed, and his face even looked a little complicated.

The two great magister-level powerhouses were completely unable to intervene in this battle, and could only act as spectators.

Both Joey and Younas are sensitively aware that even they may only be able to protect themselves under the impact of these two forces.

Beelzebub is just that, after all, it is the master of the abyss, one of the seven ancient demon kings, a god-like existence, even a ray of its projection in the ordinary plane is enough to make the top powerhouses fearful.

But what about Constantine, where does his power come from?

Younas stared at the crystal pendant in Constantine's hand, his gaze full of frenzy.

Just the key to open the mausoleum has such great power, so how terrifying will the ancient magic that Faust sealed in the mausoleum be?

The thought of that scene made the power-obsessed Younas feel his whole body soar, just as he did when he first stepped into the City of Daybreak.

He let out a heart-rending roar and swung an ice blade that severed the wrist of the remaining right arm.

Blood gushed out and poured into the fading blood-colored faces.

"I ...... Lord, please accept you...... Servant...... A lowly sacrifice. Younas said intermittently.

"You madman!" Joey was shocked, he couldn't imagine that this guy would use self-harm to provide Beelzebub with magical powers.

For the Demon King, the essence blood of a powerful black mage is undoubtedly far more delicious than those townspeople sacrificed in Quanshui Town.

The mist solidified into a substance, Beelzebub's face became clear, his crimson hair was like rolling magma, his narrow eyebrows were like fluttering red silk, and his expressions of joy, anger and sorrow alternated on his face, and countless illusions flowed around his face like a lantern, and finally froze.

An irresistible magic descended, and the cyan water surface turned red in an instant, and a high heat erupted.

It was a fiery river of lava.

Tall, fiery red peaks are slowly rising from the lava river.

Compared to the "Despair Skydome" and "Hellfire" that Samael cast in Springwater Town, the scene in front of him was even more incredible, and the power of Beelzebub's projection even directly distorted the environment of the plane.

"Dimensional cutting. ”

Joey waved his arm, activating the arcane ability to cut through space, and a black dimensional rift appeared, slicing through the space, making it stand out in the crimson lava world, like a small ship with black sails, breaking through the fiery heat wave and going upstream.

Although this rift was much smaller than the original one, it was still the supreme magic that could cut through space.

A mocking look flashed across Beelzebub's face.

The black line traveled around the Demon King's body, and suddenly broke, and the erupted energy set off countless violent winds and fires in the lava river.

Joey's complexion changed slightly, and he found that Beelzebub had actually projected part of the abyss onto the Icadia plane, forming a natural realm, in which the spatial structure of the plane had changed greatly, and if you wanted to use [Dimensional Cutting] in this realm, you had to pay several times more magic power.
