021: Light
At Orlando's feet, there lay a corpse, a corpse of the utmost grotesque—his whole body twisted in a terrible position, as if he had been twisted in a circle, and his whole body was shriveled down, except for a layer of skin on the outside, and there seemed to be no flesh on the inside. Not only that www.biquge.info but he was also covered in a thick, creepy black gooey substance. The black substance was still slowly wriggling, as if it was eating away at the corpse little by little.
Eve covered her mouth lightly, even though she was used to seeing death, it still made her feel uncomfortable in this way. "More than one. Arthur lit the road ahead with an oil lamp, and there were more corpses on the ground that were identical to the one before.
At this time, Kagua suddenly covered his head and half-knelt on the ground. "What's up ahead......" Sweat droplets the size of beans oozed from his forehead, and even when life and death were at stake, Cagua wasn't as nervous as he was now. “...... Monster. Kagua seemed to use all her strength just to speak.
"Orlando, you'd better use your magic quickly, or we'll be in big trouble. Eve said very seriously, and she could feel that there was something more terrible ahead of this passage than all the dangers they had encountered before.
"I'm trying. Orlando was aware of the seriousness of the matter, but he couldn't concentrate, and the scattered memories still tormented him.
Kagua stood up against the wall, but he stared straight ahead, his eyes terrifying. “...... It notices that we are. He used the scabbard as a weapon and held it tightly in his hand. "We'd better go. ”
"I agree. "Arthur won't be able to help much if they fight, not to mention that they may not be facing humans.
Eve also felt that it was safer to evacuate for the time being, but at this time, the sword at her waist trembled violently. She held the sword in her hand. "What's the matter?" she tried to communicate with it. "I, I thought, want him. But the response from the blade to him puzzled her. "What? "I think, if you want him, he can make me stronger. The sword answered her again.
"I don't understand what you're talking about. Eve let go of her hand, she didn't understand what it wanted, and she didn't have time to care about it at the moment. "It's getting closer. Kagua said, the scabbard in his hand creaking as if he had reached the limit of his patience.
As Kagua said, even Eve and the others sensed that something was approaching. Orlando felt a slight tremor beneath his feet, and at first, he thought it was an illusion, but the water on the ground told him that it wasn't an illusion.
"Let's go. Eve said that retreat is the wisest choice now. They decided to go in the opposite direction, trying to avoid the monster they had never met.
Eve and the others left without looking back. "Roar......" Eve heard a low roar coming from behind her, which was particularly deafening in this closed environment. It wasn't like a human voice, and Eve didn't want to know what he really was.
Eve's saber began to vibrate violently again, and Eve could only clasp it tightly on her body and keep telling it, "Quiet!" But this action made Eve unconsciously slow down a little. "Be careful!" Kagua grabbed Eve's hand and pulled her behind her.
After an instant, a large lump of black matter was slapped at Eve's previous position. "Run!" cried Kagua, the monster hadn't approached them yet, but it had threatened their safety.
Eve and the others ran forward with all their might, but she could feel that the monster behind them was getting closer and closer. "Smack!" another lump of black matter slapped around them, nearly hitting Orlando.
"I, I can, defeat him!" the voice of the sword came back to Eve's mind. "Let me, kill him!" he cried out like a child. "Quiet!" Eve was distracted again, stumbling over a corpse on the ground. "Roar!" just then, a terrifying roar rang out behind Eve. Eve had to turn her head and see the monster for what it was.
Human, it was a person, and although his face was distorted and his body was soaked in a dirty, disgusting black substance, Eve was sure that it was a person, and this was not the first time they had met.
The Black Mist Knight, now, the mist on his body has all evolved into some kind of viscous substance, emitting thick black smoke flowing on his body. Speaking of the body, in fact, Eve could not tell where his body was at all, because he was soaked in it, and only his face was exposed.
His eyes were lifeless, but unlike those of the dead, there was some emotion hidden in the depths of his eyes. He looked at Eve, the black substance on his body condensed into the shape of an arm, and then slammed it down on Eve.
Eve raised her hand, subconsciously trying to protect herself. But she didn't feel like she was being attacked. She opened her eyes, and her body was protected by someone.
Eve looked at him in a daze, with mixed feelings in her heart. "Hi. Jaime's expression was indescribably relaxed, even though the black substance on his back was making a corrosive sound of 'stinging, stinging, stinging'.
The Black Mist Knight saw Jaime and became even more furious. But at this time, there was no trace of fear on James's face, but an indescribable lightness. The Black Mist Knight gathers another cloud of black matter and tries to smash it at Jaime. Jaime just raised his hand, and a faint light appeared on his hand, and the black mass seemed to have evaporated, dissipating in midair.
“...... Why save me. Eve asked, believing that she had nothing worth giving his life to. Jaime chuckled, and that smile gave Eve a sense of holiness. "Nothing, it's just that I should have done it a long time ago. His tone was indescribably relaxed, completely different from before. "Thank you for the light, ma'am, so that I can enrich myself. With that, he turned to face the Black Mist Knight. "Let's go, and you'll be able to get out of here in a short time. ”
“...... What about you?" asked Eve, suddenly realizing that this was their farewell. The black substance in the Black Mist Knight's body seemed to be boiling, and it was constantly beating, as if he had encountered a natural enemy. Jaime didn't answer Eve, but just opened his hands, as if to embrace the black mass, and the light oozing from his body separated Eve and the others from the Black Mist Knight.
For some reason, Eve suddenly wanted to reach out and grab him and take him out of here. "Let's go, Eve. Arthur patted Eve on the shoulder and whispered.
Eve nodded silently, and slowly, turned to leave. She couldn't help but turn her head, but only a dazzling light filled her eyes, as if the gods descended to earth, reflecting the insignificance of mortals.
