Chapter 196: The Curse of Living
Wow.....
On the official road to the Locke Empire, a blue humanoid figure more than two meters tall was running at high speed, the blue figure looked very burly, but the speed was very fast, far surpassing any war horse in the Locke Empire.
There was a hint of anxiety on the man's body, as if he couldn't control his strength, and every step stepped on the stone-paved official road into a spiderweb-like crack.
But in fact, the man's heart is not as anxious as it appears on the surface, it should be said that his heart has no fluctuations, and even a little .....
This man was none other than Leighton, who had rushed from Rhonas to the Imperial City.
In the end, Leighton did not show much dissatisfaction with Sully's killing of George, and he chose to surrender to Sully. At least, on the surface.
It's not that Leighton doesn't know Sally's plans, but can the magic envoy who can devour the abilities of other magic envoys be the same kind as the other magic envoys?
But in the end, Leighton made this choice, not for anything else, because Sally gave him a glimmer of hope that he would be able to jump out of this pond.
Life is important, but human emotions are weak to the limit, they have lost their happiness and fear, and what is pure life for them?
To be alive is more like torture!
Just like a person whose meaning of life is only left to climb, when he climbs the highest peak he can see, after joy and satisfaction in his heart, there is only endless loneliness and emptiness.
And at this time, a higher mountain appeared in front of him, even if it was a sword mountain, what would be the result?
It has been said that ignorance is bliss.
Maybe it's right, maybe it's wrong, but what's right and what's wrong?
How do you know that a person who has lost almost all human emotions and only desires to climb higher peaks (strength, see a larger world) is willing to spend his life in boredom, emptiness and loneliness, or die on the road of pursuit and climbing?
Sally knows!
Because they are the same people, Sully knows how to convince each other.
To live, for them, is not a gift, but a curse!
"We are all farmed animals, and when we reach the right weight, we will be harvested by the farmers. ”
This is what Sally thought of as a demon soldier.
I don't know why, but he's been getting more and more fond of thinking lately.
Or, he doesn't know what liking is, he just thinks about it in his spare time.
Like now....
Sully sat quietly on the walls of Rhonas City, and his body, which had been unhappy because he couldn't fight wantonly, slowly calmed down.
Sully sat on the city wall, waiting for Venom to finish harvesting his energy, watching the sun set over the horizon, and at the same time pondering a question in his heart.
"Perhaps, I have not lost all human emotion, and may have retained one, belligerent!
Why, then, didn't he fight Layton in the end? because of reason!!For the sake of the big picture!" Sally asked himself in his heart.
"Yes or no, you'll know in the next experiment....."
..........
Looking at the sunset, Sally thought, "At this time, Layton should also arrive, right?"
He let Sally leave, mainly to stabilize the demon envoys in the royal city.
The royal city is the real heart of the Locke Empire, and Leighton, as a defeated soldier who took refuge, is naturally dominated by the royal demon soldiers, and the royal family naturally cannot give up the royal city, and if you give up the royal city, you will give up the entire empire.
Of course, in order to increase their confidence in holding on and resisting, Sully put Leighton back and gave them the illusion that although the opponent was strong, it was not impossible to resist.
.....
Slowly, Sally rose from the edge of the city wall and looked up at the distant sunset, like a sculpture, motionless.
Standing on the wall more than ten meters high, even if Sully is burly, it is only a drop in the ocean.
Another Demon Soldier's Demon Soldier is called [Burst Spear].
After absorbing the origin energy in the [Burst Spear], Sully assimilated about a quarter of his torso from his right arm upwards.
It doesn't sound like much, but in fact, the volume of this quarter of the torso is more than half the volume of Sully's right arm. (Arm assimilation consumes the energy of two demon soldiers, and the fingers that devour the assimilation of the awakened body are negligible)
It's not that there is more origin energy in [Burst Spear] (the contained energy is similar to the previous two demon soldiers), but that assimilation is easier.
During assimilation, after discovering the anomaly, Sully carefully sensed the remaining changes, and finally learned that it was the assimilation of the body that became easier.
With the same energy, if we say that the volume of 1 that was able to be assimilated at the beginning, then the volume of 1.1 can be assimilated now.
The numbers may not seem like much, but in fact, the volume of a demon soldier's assimilation has increased by 10%.
Sully finally came to the conclusion that because Sully had part of his body assimilated by Venom, the parts of his body that were not assimilated were also affected by the radiation from the assimilated parts, making the properties of the two closer and the assimilation easier to carry out.
And, as Sully's body becomes more assimilated, the effect will only grow.
..........
After assimilation, it is the law of the Burst Spear: Burst.
The power of this supernatural power surprised Sully a little.
This supernatural power can be said to be an extreme, which belongs to the extreme of hand-to-hand combat ability.
Sally just activated this supernatural power, without any upgrades, when his palm was next to the city wall, he activated the supernatural ability, and then, under his palm, the masonry that built the city wall directly cracked out of the spider web-like crack.
In this process, he did not use any physical strength, and the bricks and stones that could be used to build the city walls were not to mention their hardness. This shows the strength of this supernatural power.
If the 'Bursting' Divine Power is raised to the 'True Level' like 'Spatial Piercing', then at that touch, this city wall will probably collapse directly.
However, the reason why this is said to be an extreme is that this supernatural power can only be activated by contact, and even if it reaches the level of that demon soldier, it will only expand the range of supernatural power to one meter.
In the face of ranged abilities, or unconventional creatures (such as Venom, Blood Mist, White Mist, etc.), the burst magic power is ineffective, so you can only be a live target.
Therefore, George's death was not too weak, but just restrained.
And although the supernatural power is strong, Sally did not immediately strengthen it, without him, just because he now has a place where he needs more magic liquid.
............
Half-loud, Sally, who was standing on the edge of the city wall like a statue, moved slightly.
"Finally enough. Sully's eyes instantly returned to clarity.
With the predation of venom, there are fewer and fewer people in the city, and the speed of accumulating magic liquid is getting slower and slower, and just now, the magic liquid accumulated by Sully finally exceeded 200,000 units, which is the energy required for venom to be promoted to the 'true level'.
The next moment, Sully's mind moved, and the magic liquid began to decrease, and the progress bar under 'Endless Darkness' slowly grew.
