Chapter 3: The Warmth of the Gone

Dark World

The earth where bones and corpses fused was soaked in blood, the air was filled with the smell of fire and brimstone, and the hot sensation emanated from under the feet as if soaked in magma.

There was only a huge black body in the sky, obscuring the blood-colored sun, and with the envelopment of light, it seemed to be caught in the baking of flames.

Since waking up, this image has appeared countless times.

At this moment, the ground began to gush with blood plasma, and the whole violently turbulent, with the trembling of the ground, the black feathers falling from the void covered the sky.

Then, with a loud rumbling sound, the ground rose sharply, and with the thick sulfur smoke, a huge body covered in darkness appeared in front of him.

This was not the end, and soon a series of dark bubbles rose in the air, and in the ethereal horn sound of unknown sounds, one after another indistinct behemoths protruded from the surface and joined into a majestic mountain range.

In the darkness, countless distant voices came from unknown places, countless bubbles shattered in response, and the black celestial body trembled slightly:

"O great king, we are the only king of those whose sins are unforgivable. ”

"Sincerely and fearfully ask for an audience. ”

......

Who are you, and who am I?

......

Countless behemoths let out a vague sigh at the same time, and a rotating nebula appeared in the sky, black celestial bodies switched places with the scorching sun, and the dazzling sunlight shone on the earth:

"We are gods, and we are exiles who cannot be gods. ”

"You are our blood relative, the longed-for King of Fortune. ”

......

I don't know what you're talking about. I don't understand at all.

......

Black celestial bodies and scorching sun suddenly fell to the ground. When it touches the ground, it turns into a vast spring in the sky. At the same time, the countless voices came closer and closer, as if whispering in his ear:

"The head of the demon god chosen by the dark source power, O eagle. ”

"You are the chosen one. ”

"The fact that we are here at this moment is a testament to this. ”

The murmur gradually became smaller, and finally disappeared, and a small round hole in front of him continued to enlarge, seeping out wisps of golden light. It is like a mirror between heaven and earth, separating the two worlds of the virtual and the real.

......

A clear and comfortable feeling appeared on his forehead, and Are's heavy eyelids opened to see Vesta's smiling face. He shook his swollen and aching head, propped up his upper body, and realized that he was lying on a soft big bed:

"Why did you untie my chains?"

"With me here, are you still afraid of losing control?"

She said casually as she walked to the washbasin behind her. Take out a clean towel from it, wring out the water, and hand it over:

"Do it yourself or will I help you?"

"I'll do it myself. ”

The black-haired knight ripped off the ice pack that was applied to his forehead. He buried his whole face in a towel, as if he wanted to sink the coolness into his heart, took a deep breath, and then rubbed two handfuls vigorously, and said vaguely:

"I had a dream. ”

"I know, you've been talking in your sleep. Vesta waited quietly for him to wipe it clean and handed over another glass of water.

"Thank you. ”

Yalei handed her back the towel, held the water cup in his hand, his pupils dilated, and he said in a trance:

"Recently, I've been repeating this dream, and I've seen a lot of people, a lot...... But they couldn't see what they looked like, and they called themselves Vault Dwellers...... Call me the Head of the Demon God. ”

"It's normal. Vesta sat down on the edge of the bed, pink nails tapping on the glass of water, motioning for him to drink it quickly.

“......”

The black-haired knight gave her a cold look, craned his neck to finish pouring the water, and then stuffed the cup to the other party.

"The Lords of Fear, the strongest of the Dark Origins, have awakened again, and the lesser demon gods banished to the void will all be sensible, and their purpose is the same as mine, to try to awaken your power. ”

Vesta smiled and snuggled up to the bed again, staring at his eyes with beautiful eyes, and said slowly: "It seems that you are very resistant to the identity of the demon god, don't young people like you generally feel cool? can you tell me?"

"My teacher, General Casper, warned...... The demon god is dangerous, but it also gave me a solution. Whether it's the Lord of Fear or the Head of the Demon God, I don't have any resistance to that...... But I still can't control it. ”

"That's a big enough question to stump me. She frowned slightly.

"By the way, why don't you know even my origins, but you can?" Areley looked at the Imperial Researcher in front of him, a little skeptical that this person could do divination.

"Do you know how badly you're hurt?" Vesta shot a cold glint in his eyes, and then he raised his index finger and poked at the position of the opponent's sideburns, and his voice became high-pitched:

"In order to save a few of you, dozens of doctors have almost stayed up all night, especially you! Obviously you are going to die, and you are still unconsciously spreading the fear force field, do you know how many nurses are ** because of you?

“......”

Yalei helplessly let her poke wildly, his eyes swept to the side, and he saw the sunset shining in through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, with an old and warm atmosphere.

For no reason, a solemn picture emerged from the bottom of my heart, it was on the ice field, everyone was facing the sunset, walking side by side, and the mighty banner iron armor seemed to be still there.

Fighting with them, I have spent many happy times, and under the banner of the eagle over there, there are too many memories that I can't forget

Until now, that uncomplaining war song still lingers in his ears, and the river of flesh and blood will never disappear from his eyes.

Although the time spent together is very short, on the battlefield of life and death, the moment when they entrust each other's backs, you can feel a warmth of physical and mental connection.

Annit, Jellin, Colen Cassya, Snake, Garth...... Those annoying but cute comrades-in-arms, as well as General Casper and General Ebenezer...... Now they are all dead, but they are still alive.

I was the only one left, alone here, enjoying the beautiful afternoon and the warm sunshine.

The black-haired knight stared at the sunset outside the window in a daze, and silently tensed his muscles, as if it was the junction of life and death, as if the long team holding the eagle banner could sing the war song again and come out of the bright light.

......

Originally, I thought that I only needed to give my sincerity, concentrate and move forward with all my might, and whether it was confusion or pain, I could eliminate it with the blood in my chest...... In the end, I realized that he was not as strong as he thought.

I miss you so much...... (To be continued......)
