Chapter 55: Crotea and Aija
The long sword waved, and the rotting blood sprayed on the windows around him, on the walls, Ron looked indifferent, he didn't care how many people died, the long sword in his hand kept stabbing out, retracting, stabbing out, retracting, everything on the third floor was occupied, to be precise, it was occupied by a group of undead zombies, in the information given by those people below, except for the area blocked by the iron doors on the first and second floors, the rest was occupied by the undead and zombies, and Crotea ignored this group of people, mixed with endless flames and ran to the third floorγ Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
When Ron stepped on the third floor, these undead and zombies were no longer covered up with the appearance of intelligent creatures like downstairs, mixed with stench and decay surging towards Ron, the cruelty of the killing, so that Ron's blood began to boil, he could clearly feel the roar of longing in his body at this time, he suppressed himself as much as possible, trying not to let his consciousness disappear, but the murderous aura on the abyss body hit Ron's heart, he struggled to resist, still inevitably let that madness appear, half-red and half-black pupils stared at the corridor on the third floor, Ron's face showed a cruel smile for a while, and a struggle for reason for a while, he was in such a state, kill waves of undead, zombies. By the time he stood in the hallway full of corpses, facing the last of the giant undead who were a few people tall, the black pupils on the other side of him were completely covered in bright red.
A circle of turquoise flames suddenly appeared in his hand, he looked at the giant undead mockingly, his fingers pinched the flames, and slashed at the long sword, and the long sword burned with raging turquoise fire, he threw himself forward, towards the terrible undead, and launched an attack.
The undead let out an unwilling cry of rage and fell to the ground, completely unable to comprehend the other party's mere movement and dodge, and finally the sword that pierced its own core completely drained its soul, and there was no possibility of escape. Ron leaned against a nearby wall, panting, his hands holding the sword trembled slightly, the blood in his eyes disappeared at the moment of the other party's death, and he felt an unusual power in his whole body, he recalled the previous battle, and remembered the time period when he and Meshaluna fled, and in contrast, he clenched his fists, and the green flames ignited in his hands, and he said to himself calmly:
"This can be regarded as a good strength, at least in the future war, there is no need to rely only on 'explosion'. It seems that my hand is not incapable of emitting magic, and with this experience, the release of magic is bound to be possible. β
He put away the flames and walked towards the top floor, where on the rooftop of the fourth floor, Clotea stood quietly, her long red hair dancing in the wind in the light of the rising sun. He put away his sword and walked towards her.
"The view is nice, you seem to be a little lingering. He crossed his hands behind his head, said in a homely manner, and sat down on the railing, Crotea with her eyes closed, as if she had no sight of his presence. But her dagger popped out suddenly, swung in front of her several times in succession, and then retracted to her waist.
"Clodia?" Ron felt her breath the moment she waved the dagger, and he couldn't help but call, and the familiar beautiful eyes gradually opened, and she looked at him, as if they had met for the first time, pure and immaculate, with three parts curiosity, three points evil smile.
"My sister is all grown, why haven't you moved? β
Ron's head was gently rubbed by Crothea, and then she leaned on his shoulder and whispered, "I'm worried about you, Ron." β
"Tia?!" was a little uncomfortable with her sudden gentleness, Ron looked at her pretty face, and an indescribable feeling welled up in his heart, and he could only call her name softly.
"Let's go back. β
"Yes. Clotea straightened the folds of his shoulders, flicked the tears from the corners of his eyes, nodded, and said, "But before we do that, we have to fight?"
"Huh?" Ron's eyes widened, Clotea had already taken many steps back, put on her fists, and waited for Ron's attack, "What's going on?"
"The annual assessment of Luyin Academy, you have passed the written exam, let me see the results. Aijia on the side looked at it for a long time, and suddenly made a sound, which startled Ron, he remembered this voice, when he saw Aijia at the source of the sound, he immediately recognized this person as the person who appeared on the wall of the lecture hall, she sat on the railing with her legs crossed, looking at a large group of files, when she paused, the files in her hand fell to the ground, and her mouth opened wide.
"What's wrong? Crotea appeared at Aijia's side, and then exclaimed in amazement, snatching a test paper and flipping it up and down.
"Full marks?
"What's the perfect score, Clodia, what are you talking about?" Seeing the relationship between the two of them, Ron also knew that this was not a good time to question, so he could only ask what was going on.
"Nothing, you pervert. Clotea gave him a blank look, ready to fight again, the flames on her fists already blazing, indicating that she wanted to punch her opponent.
Aijia took back the file, then watched Ron clear his throat and said, "If you want to go back, you must be recognized by the gatekeepers, otherwise you will sink in this place forever." As a reward for meeting me, you will be allowed to manipulate the magic of this world, cast a projection on your world, and protect this place, just like Clodia. β
"Projection?!" Ron looked at Aijia, hoping for her explanation. And Clotea had already answered him first.
"We are in a different position than our original world, which has disappeared after entering the door of the heart, but through projection, we can still return to our original world, communicate, move, eat and eat, and only within a certain range. When you saw me, I was back in the world and cleaned up the people who had broken into the building. Crotea said helplessly, "This is my mission. β
"What did she inflict?" he looked at Aijia, the fire in his eyes almost erupting. γ
"As a magician, you can't forget even the most basic principle of equivalent exchange!" said Aija scoffed, "I'm curious how you found the door to your heart. β
"Don't tell you!" Ron stuck his tongue out at her, the childlike appearance of a child first stunned Aija before she blew up.
"Believe it or not, I roasted you and threw you out?" Orange flames rolled in her hands.
"Come on, let's hurt each other!" Ron looked at Ai Jia undeligently, and a green flame between his fingers.
"Huh?" Clotea was very surprised by the fire in Ron's hand, in her consciousness, as long as she had to use her hands to trace the magic circuit and release the magic, Ron could not release it at all. And now the turquoise flame in his hand, steadily swinging back and forth between him, proved that this was a magic work, she was surprised and delighted, and was about to say something, Aijia's fireball had collided with the flames of Ron's fingertips.
A storm of magic pushed the two apart. Ai Jia's face was calm, and a fireball gathered in her hand again. Not to be outdone, Ron covered his own flames over the blade of his sword, far away.
"Senior Sister Aijia, didn't you say let me deal with it?" Clotea walked between the two, and the double blades immediately appeared in her hand, the moment the words fell, her body had turned into a red light that appeared on Ron's side, the blade and the dagger collided with each other, a glint flashed in Clodia's eyes, she stuck out her tongue, and the magic array engraved on her tongue suddenly lit up, where would Ron have thought that Crodia's attack would come from this position now, in shock, he turned his head, and a flame flew against his cheek, and red blood flowed down.
He pushed the girl away hard, looking at Clotea holding the dagger, although she was not yet armed with a magic guide, but the uniform on her body had outlined her beautiful curves to the fullest, her right leg was in front, slightly sideways, and Aija, who was sitting on the railing with her feet crossed behind her, looked at their appearance clearly imprinted in Ron's sight.
"Are you playing really?"
"Otherwise, I know that you are not armed with a magic guide, so I won't bully you, as long as you can hold it in my hands for a while, it will be considered passed. Crothea smiled and walked with light steps, and when Ron was about to say something, Aija interjected:
"You're a little too direct. To make it a little more difficult, I've decided to punish you a little. The fireball in Aijia's hand split into several that surrounded the two of them, and the heat on them shocked Clodia, who was also a fire magician, "Don't be hit by them." β
As he spoke, several fireballs shot out at the same time, and both Crotea and Ron had to face a sudden attack, and the two of them were in a hurry for a while.
"Clodia!" Ron shouted, and a burst of eruption appeared at the same time as he appeared beside Clodia, grabbing her hand and leading her to dodge the fireball.
"Huh. Aijia's eyes flashed a hint of fierceness, the speed of the fireball was even faster, and Clotea also reacted at this time, without the cooperation in the snowy mountain, Crodia's dagger was raised, and countless flames were entwined on it, Ron didn't know that Clotea was trying to attack him at this time, he was staring at the fireball that came quickly, and he didn't have the heart to care about the state of Clotea around him.
A swift fireball followed after Ron dodged the fireball in front of him, and he slammed into Crotea beside him, causing her to swing her dagger for a moment, and the fireball slammed into her back. The smell of burnt came from behind him, and Crotea looked at Ron's familiar face, as if something was suddenly shattered in her heart, and as soon as her hand was released, the dagger was wrapped in flames and disappeared into her hand. Inexplicably, she reached out and touched his face.
"Don't forget this person. She roared in her heart, the red flames on her body suddenly soared so high, the dazzling light shone in the early morning light, behind her, and between Ai Jia, a magic array instantly disintegrated, Ai Jia looked at the two people who were hugging, and the corners of her mouth raised a beautiful arc.
"Congratulations, Crotea, for finding a flame of your own. β
"Sister Aijia?" Crotea helped the injured Ron and looked at Aijia who was seated.
"Since the birth of magic, there have been people who have been exploring its essence, thinking that they can explore the more powerful power of the most basic elemental three systems and the basic circuits of light and darkness, but these people have forgotten that the most powerful power comes from people after all, and when a person's emotions are derived to the extreme, then the magic he releases is the most terrifying and irresistible. Ai Jia said this, she turned her back to the two of them, such a back obviously looked as big as Ron and them, but at this time she looked unusually tall, like a sage who knew the true meaning, she turned her head, turned her back to the rising sun, and smiled like a flower, "You guys, you have to go on like this." The fading figure began to disappear in the morning light. Crotea pushed Ron away and ran towards her.
"My mission is accomplished, it's time to leave everything here, Crotea, you're really good, really, powerful. I'm really lucky to have met you. Thank you. β
"Aijia!" Clotea didn't know what her mission was, she only knew that from the moment she met her, she had been with her, with her through the nights in this strange space, sometimes harsh, sometimes coquettish, she had taught her a lot about magic, and she had sorted out the mottled and complicated magical knowledge of the academy for her, although she had paid her for this to protect the school building for her, but she was willing, because she was already her friend, at least she felt so.
"She's gone. Ron handed her a handkerchief and stated a fact. Clotea glared at him, took the handkerchief, and asked:
"What is her mission? Why did she disappear? Although she has died in our world, why doesn't she live well in this world? If she is as strong as her, she must be able to live well here. β
Ron didn't know, at least he could hear her relief from the other party's tone, it could be loneliness, in a place full of undead and zombies, trapped in a school building, in the sky, a piece of paper fell, Clotea picked it up, held it in the palm of her hand, and her body trembled slightly.
Ron looked into her hand and thought of the piece of paper he had found in her dorm room earlier, on which was drawn the same fire-attribute basic magic circuit as the one in front of her. He patted her on the shoulder and said:
"It's just another big cry, it's okay, I'll be with you. β
She held the piece of paper in her hand and cried loudly, the morning sun scattered on the two of them, pulling their shadows for a long, long time.
