Chapter 20: Heroic Spirits and Ghosts
"They will all perish together. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info," the general replied calmly.
The princess stroked her left arm with her right hand and bowed her head in a sad expression.
Yuri whispered, "Princess, do you mean you can't bear to do it?"
"But you don't know what the complete death of the soul means to the elves. ”
General Klose resolutely said: "If you want to destroy these trees, please come ahead." It is a pity to lose souls, but those who are still alive are more worthy of each of us to give everything to protect. ”
The princess gritted her teeth unwillingly: "But...... All of you are good people! Good people can't live to the end, forget it, even after death, they can't rest in peace, they can't be reincarnated again, isn't this kind of ending too ruthless!"
General Klose smiled with relief: "In a world where demons reign, good people are destined to have the worst end, even if we are aware of this, we still choose to be good people. Let's do it, completely destroy this upside-down black and white garden, and the soul is the best relief for us. ”
The princess held the flaming thorn of the sun in her hand, and her body trembled slightly. Yuri, desperate to burn down the garden, was also overwhelmed by the fact that the princess had to make a painful decision against her will, so she exclaimed, "There is a solution to any spell, is there any way to get your soul and the trees separated?"
Then an old Moon Elf Warlock said, "There is a plant that is so special that its roots touch the bones of each of us, and according to my humble opinion, this plant is the key to the soul binding, and as long as its fragrance lingers, we can only be trapped here forever." ”
General Klose said unexpectedly: "Warlock Cato, why don't you ever say such important information?"
Warlock Cato coughed slightly, "What's the use of saying that? We're long dead, and we're all left with our souls, and we can't do anything with that flower." It's better to avoid talking about it, so as not to add to everyone's troubles. ”
Cato stretched out his thin fingers and pointed to the tallest and most delicate flower in the center of the garden, which shimmered with multicolored light and was incomprehensibly beautiful.
The princess was still hesitant, but Klose encouraged her: "Do it, foreign princess." Cut down that flower, and maybe our souls will be liberated. ”
"What if that doesn't work, and even if the flower dies, your soul will disappear at once!" said the princess uneasily.
"We originally planned to turn into green smoke, and even if we really die with this flower, it won't be a loss. ”
Klose gave a thumbs up and smiled brightly, "In the worst case, taking a reckless step will always result better than the status quo, isn't it?"
The princess nodded, quickly wiped away her tears, and said, "I understand!"
She leaped high and lightly lit the rose to the flower, and with a wave of the dagger in her hand, the flower broke to the ground and then burned violently. It was obviously a plant, but when it burned, it let out a terrifying scream that made the bone marrow numb, and shook the flower stem like the embryo of some kind of monster and writhed desperately on the ground, and the princess was terrified, and only when the flower was completely turned to ashes did she dare to hold her ear.
Klose raised his hands and saw that his arms glowed, and the heaviness that had been pressing on his heart was gone, and his feet could finally lift off the ground, and he could levitate as a soul.
"Sure enough, Exotic Princess, thanks to you, we're finally free! And it's okay if you destroy the plants!"
All the dead were overjoyed, except for Cato's smile with a hint of malice.
Just as Yuri was about to roll up his sleeve and raise his sword to cut down all the plants, suddenly the irrigation device sprayed a light blue liquid and poured it on the plants, and the whole garden was suddenly shrouded in a light blue mist. The dead looked left and right in inexplicable horror, they were obviously incorporeal, but the blue liquid could stain them.
Vicious whispers echoed in the air, as if thousands of people were cursing the world.
The necromancers suddenly convulsed and hugged themselves, then their bones clicked, their necks tilted back desperately, their pale blue skin rapidly decaying, and their large empty mouths revealing white smoke.
"We remember......," General Klose's eyes turned dark blue, and he stared straight at the princess, "every day when the blue mist fills us, we have to bear all the malice and resentment of this country, and all the negative emotions - anger, hatred, jealousy, violence, belligerence, and greed - gather here, and then bear fruit in these trees, and we go through the excruciating torment in this repetition process, and then forget everything in the agony. ”
The Minister of Propaganda shed blue tears: "But we can't do anything, because our souls are firmly tied to the tree." ”
"But now, it's a different story. ”
General Klose grinned, looked at the sudden eruption of claws, and said with a cruel smile: "Why don't we let these two living creatures feel the extreme pain we endure every day!"
The garden was suddenly full of ghosts, the ceiling was dyed light blue, and every soul that had been very kind just now turned into a bloodthirsty ghost, and the screamers rushed towards the princess and Yuri from all directions.
The princess screams and tries desperately to dodge, and legend has it that the demon will possess her, take control of her body, and cause the living to lose their consciousness and fall into the devil's path. But soon she realizes that her worries are unnecessary, because the way these ghosts want to kill them is much more direct than she thought!
Their claws turned out to be physical, Yuri swung his slash and desperately gritted his teeth to block, and the claws were able to grab a little spark on the greatsword!
"Don't be in a daze!" Yuri struggled to swing his sword to slash away the four or five ghosts that were pounced, "We can't afford to eat a claw!"
Yuri's voice made the princess's heart tremble, and the princess barely waved her dagger to dodge left and right, used the thorn of the sun to open her claws, turned back and jumped high, and subconsciously felt ten short daggers from the hidden space, and was about to throw them, when the sad face of General Klose appeared in front of the princess.
"I used to help you so selflessly, are you going to repay me with a dagger?"
The princess breathed a little, the dagger was not thrown, and General Klose's face changed from sad to hideous, and he opened his mouth and threw himself at the princess, only to be smashed to the ground by Yuri with a powerful slash.
"This is not an opponent you can be merciful to!"
As the evil spirits swirled and turned into a jet-black pillar of wind, Yuri took out the Mirror of Shadows and used the Wind Master's Wind Mandate to summon a tornado that rotated in the opposite direction on the spot, canceling out the external necromantic tornado with extremely explosive power, causing the demons to disperse again.
The ghost approached again, the princess was obviously strong enough, but she couldn't bear to miss a few opportunities to slash at the ghost, seeing that she was about to be caught in the front and back, Yuri quickly flew back behind the princess with jet armor to block the deadly sneak attack from behind, and shouted angrily: "What's the matter with you!
"But how can I wield a sword at these good people!" replied the princess with tears in her eyes.
"Then you take care of yourself, I didn't know these guys were good people!" Yuri picked up the slash, the mirror of shadows glinting, "Just let me finish them all at once!"
Pure white flames burned on the slash, much to Yuri's shock.
I used imaging to imitate the Flame Dance Mandate, the essence is still the dark Mandate of Heaven, the flame has always been pure black, only like Teacher Qiao Luya can use the ability to the point of perfection, can fade from the black to the real thing.
Yuri looked suspiciously at the Mirror of Shadows, and found that the reflection in the mirror was the exact opposite of the garden seen to the naked eye.
The ceiling is light pink, which is actually light blue. The pitch-black sun is actually a normal bright white.
The light blue streams and sprays were blood-colored in the mirror.
Yuri realizes that the world in front of him has been tampered with by a powerful magic, and that everything that comes into his pupils is completely reversed in color compared to the real thing. In short, it's a world that has been treated with inverted colors.
Yuri looked down at the mirror, and sure enough, the leaves of the plants were no longer emerald green, but different shades of red, and the white roses were black roses full of evil spirits, but the earth had returned to its normal earthy color.
In other words, in the real world, it is these strange plants that show opposite colors, and the witch in black turns the colors of the whole world upside down, and then reverses the colors, making these plants look very normal.
Yuri suspects that he and the princess have been tricked by the illusion the moment they walk into the garden, but luckily, the princess has a weapon to crack the illusion.
"Flora, come up with the secret elixir of sobriety!"
The princess secretly has all kinds of secret potions hidden on her body, so Yuri and Virgy once thought that her hidden profession was that of a secret medicine scientist. The secret medicine used to wake up Audrey when the three gopher brothers attacked, just in time!
The princess throws the vial at Yuri, who reverses and fires a steam cannon that shatters the vial.
Intense, pungent gases fill the air, instantly overpowering the ubiquitous floral scent. The smell was so strong that it seemed to condense and purify things with concentrated flavors such as mint, pepper, garlic, and chili peppers, and then put them in a bomb and exploded, and the princess and Yuri burst into tears, choking on the ground and causing severe pain from their respiratory tract to their brains, and those terrible ghosts seemed to be afraid of this terrible breath, so they didn't attack immediately.
When Yuri looked up again, he was tearful to find that the world had finally returned to its original state.
The ghosts are all gone.
