Research Institute - Geocentric Laboratory.

A puff of smoke erupts from the recessed drill platform and the pyramid-shaped entrances and exits open open, casting a dazzling stream of light that evaporates into ripples in the heat.

"The target has returned, using freezing gas to cool the device. Director Lloyd, who was in the guardrail in the distance, pushed his glasses.

Whew!

The pipe mouth embedded in the platform rotated the ball valve, spewing out four white thick plumes of smoke, and under the shroud of low-temperature freezing air, the temperature in the air quickly decreased, and the dazzling streamer slowly disappeared.

Soon, large hollow crystals floating in the platform slowly swirling appeared in the researchers' field of vision.

After waiting for two seconds, a naked and graceful figure ejected from the inside of the drill chamber and landed steadily to the ground, standing barefoot on the edge of the platform, his chest rising and falling violently, breathing in the air that had not been seen for a long time.

Several female researchers holding bath towels hurriedly trotted to the edge of the platform, wrapped the white bath towels around each other, and sent congratulations with smiles on their faces:

"Congratulations, Nicole Knight, how do you feel that you've successfully advanced to the rank of Scourge Knight?"

"It's never been better. ”

Feeling the power in her body, Nicole closed her eyes in enjoyment and said like an aria.

Just as she was immersed in the afterglow of the surge in power, Lloyd's voice came from afar:

"Nicole Knight, you are free now, and you can leave at any time. Of course, if you have any requests, you can do so as soon as possible, and we can even throw you a celebratory party. ”

Nicole opened her eyes and shook her head in disgust: "No need. I'll leave now. ”

"As you wish. Director Lloyd smiled. Then he instructed the staff around her: "Take our future lady to the dressing room." ”

"That's right. Bruno, did he come out?" she suddenly remembered the silver-haired boy who had come with her.

"He's a day ahead of you in building the Scourge armament, he's a young man, and of course, you're very good, Miss Nicole. ”

"How about the Bluebloods and Arley?" asked Nicole deliberately tricky.

"Hmm......" Director Lloyd showed a hint of embarrassment just right, and asked rhetorically: "Then I have to ask you first, which of the two answers that are shocking and very shocking, which one do you want to hear." ”

"Let's stop here. The female man hurriedly stuck out her tongue and begged for mercy. She didn't want to be ruined by the unprecedented good mood, and politely thanked the other party before leaving:

"Thank you, Mr. Glasses, I'll take my leave. ”

“...... Director Lloyd's fingers pushing his glasses ...... suddenly froze in midair.

......

"Nicole, I'm back!" Nick kicked open the heavy door of the Black Seat, and Nicole ran to the fountain in the center of the hall, happily announcing her return.

Silently, a vague black phantom suddenly extended in the spiral staircase, and she instinctively rushed forward, but she couldn't keep up with the lightning speed of the phantom, and before she could react, a ball of fragrant flowers had smashed on her face.

"Welcome back our only female Scourge Knight in the Black Seat! Yare slapped the bouquet on Nicole's face. Said with a wicked smile.

"The Knights of Origin are bullying, it's not fair!" Nicole cried out in disgust.

"I'm fair, you and Bruno are treated the same. The black-haired knight said as he shoved the bouquet into the other's hand.

"Oh. It's a little bit better. ”

She put away the bouquet with a smile, sniffed the fragrance of the flowers, and then said with a full face: "Where is Clark? I'm almost suffocating!"

"They're still exercising...... Yalei understood the other party's thoughts, because he was almost suffocating, but thinking that a third-order knight would have to face the oppression of the calamity knight tonight, he could only advise:

"Nicole, if you're not a little more reserved, Clark tonight won't be able to stand your toss. ”

"I hate it!"

Nicole showed a shy expression, patted him with makeup, and then seemed to have figured out a key point, and her beautiful eyes suddenly lit up:

"I'll have to find Clark before he runs out! See you in the evening!"

Before she could finish speaking, she used the speed of the Disaster Knight to leave the main seat like a wind shadow, and in a few breaths the breath exceeded Yalei's perception.

"Alas!" the black-haired knight looked at her back, and suddenly let out a sad sigh, for the sake of Clark, who was about to finish, and for himself who could only shake hands.

Before evening, Nicole came back with Clarke, who had become a soft-footed shrimp, and unlike the man with facial paralysis who was almost prostration, she looked energetic and energetic.

Sending the nearly drained soft-footed shrimp into the room, she slipped up to the rooftop, where Yare, who had just returned from the Aether Realm, was lying on the ground panting.

"You don't seem to be in good shape, I'm going to ask you for some pointers. Nicole leaned up to him and said, she smelled of honey locusts, apparently freshly showered.

"Wait a minute. The black-haired knight took out his handkerchief and wiped the blood from the corners of his eyes, and somewhat weakly propped up his body, waiting for his body to automatically heal his injuries.

"Are you learning some strange secret art, how did you make yourself like this?"

"Let's be considered a secret art, aetherization, have you heard of it?" he pulled out the manuscript of the aether theory he had borrowed from the library and handed it to the other party.

"Completely unheard of. ”

Nicole shook her head in confusion, took the manuscript and simply flipped a few pages, and then returned it to Yalei: "Isn't this an evil technique that has been eliminated, why do you want to learn this thing?"

"Evil ways? Not necessarily. ”

The black-haired knight's voice gradually became louder, and the trauma of forcibly simulating the etheric realm was fading, and his eyes projected a compelling heat, and he couldn't wait to say:

"I've figured out a little trick, would you like to try it?"

"Oh, let's hurry up then. She jumped to the side and struck a fighting stance.

"Wait a minute. ”

Yalei propped himself up, his back against the setting sun and clenched his fists, his eagle eyes shot out two beams of golden light, and a layer of hot black flames like smoke evaporated from his body.

This is the ether?

Nicole looked at the other party with some suspicion, except for the high-intensity vindictive spirit that made her bow down, there seemed to be nothing special.

Soon she realized that something was wrong, because the steel fighting qi that had been highly condensed on the other party's body was still compressing, and it had reached an uncontrollable level, and the temperature of the entire rooftop was also rising, and the stone slabs on the ground gradually burst with a clatter, emitting a scorching smell.

This is simply impossible for the Origin Knight, whose soul and body are highly synchronized, and who can perfectly manipulate every trace of power.

"Shhhh

The black-haired knight took a long breath, and finally stopped compressing the fighting qi, he could already feel that the condensed power had exceeded the limit, and if it continued like this, it was likely that he would be eaten by the fighting qi.

"Here we go!"

The golden light transmitted through Yalei's eyes became more and more intense, and his body suddenly squatted, and the stone slab on his foothold shattered, and with this movement, the black flame covering his body suddenly came out of his body.

Boom!

In the explosion of the air, the highly compressed black flame condensed before his eyes, turning into an unstable humanoid silhouette, and as it appeared, Nicole suddenly felt a tremor in her heart.

That's right, if there is one word to describe how she feels now, it is fear!

Obviously exposed to the heat radiating from the black flame, Nicole felt an inexplicable chill fill her limbs, and as the unstable silhouette gradually took shape, this chill also continued to amplify.

"This ...... What is it?"

She resisted the extremely unpleasant feeling of timidity, and raised her voice and asked.

“......”

Yalei didn't answer the other party's question, but just stared at the phantom with a stern expression, and the golden glow in his eyes became more and more abundant, and finally formed a substantial beam.

In the end, the illusory shadow condensed by the black flame turned into a vague silhouette of him dressed in a catastrophe armament, quietly suspended between the two, staring at the female knight motionless with a shadowy fear and coercion.

"Fear projection. ”

The black-haired knight finally pulled out a little bit of energy and said with some difficulty.

"That's what it is...... What are you doing these days?"

Nicole bared her snow-white silver teeth, like a frightened feline, staring viciously at the fear projection.

"yes, want to give it a try?"

Aree kept his breathing steady, then hooked his fingers, and the fear projection suddenly retreated behind him, levitating coldly behind him, and the invisible coercion also retreated.

"To be honest, I don't want to fight this kind of thing at all. She wouldn't admit that she was too weak to lift her energy now.

"That's a shame, in a certain time frame, it can exert half of my power. The black-haired knight had no idea of the power of the fear force field, and was still trying to tempt the other party to fight him.

"If you don't fight, you won't fight!" the woman screamed.

"Okay......"

As soon as Yalei's spirit was relieved, the golden light in his eyes disappeared in an instant, and the condensed fear projection also spun up, turning into a pillar of fire that soared into the sky, setting off a scorching wind that blew all over the rooftop.

"Really...... It's super unpleasant...... power. Like a saved drowning man, Nicole collapsed to the ground as soon as she was swept away by the hot wind, snorting and panting.

"Are you alright?" he finally noticed something strange about the other party.

"I don't know...... Maybe it's okay...... Something could be ......," she replied with a pale smile and a breathless smile.

"How so? I'll help you back to rest now!"

The black-haired knight hurriedly lifted Nicole up from the ground, carried it on his shoulders, and jumped straight off the edge of the rooftop. (To be continued......)
