Chapter 33: The First Memories Continued Manju Sahua
Ax and Ciel pushed open the dark door, and the dazzling golden light inside the door forced them to squint their eyes to move forward, and all the black shadows lurking behind them screamed and scattered, and they pierced their claws deep into the hard floor of the temple, leaving deep marks on the floor, and then they were sucked into the golden glow of the door, until all the shadows were gone, and the two of them stepped inside.

"Didn't you say this is hell, why is the sky bluer than I've ever seen, and the land here greener than I've ever seen, with flowers, birds, trees, and you see, there are villages!" Aix opened his eyes, and found himself standing on top of a verdant hill, with a few villages scattered in the distant square fields, and it was noon, and the bright sun was shining on Aix's body.
"Ciel, Ciel?" cried out to Ax, but received no response, and he looked around, only to find that the door behind him was gone, and behind him was another verdant mountain range, at the foot of which was a forest, and not far to the left beside Aix, a clear river was flowing with a few petals and blades of grass.
Ax came to the river, the cool water was cool and sweet, but the more he drank, the more thirsty he became, and finally Ax even felt that he could drink all the water in the river, but even so, the river water still could not quench Aix's thirst, until Ax took off his bag and poured all the drinking water in his bag into his mouth to stop his desire slightly.
It's all an illusion!Aix's brow furrowed deeply, and he took a few steps back until he leaned against the trunk of a tree, he drew his sword, but retracted it, if this was an illusion, then Hill must be not far from him, and wielding his sword at will would probably hurt him.
Thinking of this, Ax could only pick up his bags that had fallen on the riverside and began to walk straight forward to the hillock where he was, which had formed a path under his feet, and Ax walked along the path, but there was no end to it, it seemed that this place was more volatile than the labyrinth where he used to be.
So, Ax no longer followed any laws, he began to walk according to his own will, there was a river in front of him, he waded through the river, although the river was turbulent but not even his trouser legs could be wet, which was more certain of Aix's thoughts, and he began to move on firmly, no matter what appeared in front of him, he would not dodge, no matter what was here, it would not hurt him in the slightest, or rather, even if there was a sword here, it would not hurt him.
With a firm will, Aix stopped until he came to a dark house, the scenery along the road was constantly changing, one of which once again turned into a sea of scarlet flowers, that sea of flowers had the power to devour people's hearts, Ax stopped for a moment, but did not change direction, maybe that sea of flowers is the only reality in this fantasy, but it is not what Ax wants.
Then, the cold wind carried fist-sized hail from the sky, and they hit Aix's body, as if whipping Ax, and wanted Ax to enter the black room as soon as possible, Ax looked up at the sky where the hail was falling, and there was already a red light, so Ax wanted to go around the black room, but Ax found that whether he went to the left or the right, the door of the house seemed to move, and it was always in front of him, which made him want to cut it off with a sword, but finally he held back。
At this time, Ax began to pay attention to the door of the house, just like the dark room, the door of the house was also pitch black, but with the red glow, Ax could faintly see a line of imperceptible text on the door.
"It's a door, it's not a door, you push it open, the abyss ahead, you go around it, there's fairyland ahead, and if you crash through it, hell will invite you, but if you just stand still, he will give you the gift of the gods, and that's death—"
Aix's face was almost pressed to the door frame carved with demon reliefs as he read the words, "Abyss, Wonderland, Hell, Death?" Ax thought for a moment, then he suddenly remembered what Hill had said, and slammed into the dark door, but it was as if something was behind it, and no matter what, he couldn't knock it open.
With each hit, however, Ax would push a few steps back, try again, take a few steps back, try again, and try again, until he had about thirty steps back before he slammed the door open, and he himself fell into it with great force.
"Looks like you've passed the trial!" When Ax looked up, he found Hill looking at him with a smile on his face, "Don't be angry, I just came out of there not long ago!" Hill pointed to the black door behind Aix, which was still bathed in tears, and now the black door was closed, there were no handles, no knockers, and there was no device on the side of the door to open the door.
Ax ignored Hill's apology, in Aix's eyes, although Hill kept saying sorry in his mouth, he was a little contemptuous in his smile, but it was hard to say whether it was because this piece was related to the scarlet and swaying sea of flowers he encountered before.
Determining the goal, everything is easy, at least for Aix, but Hill looked trembling from the beginning, looking uneasy, as if he was covered by the black shadow before, except for the conversation with Ax is quite normal, everything else seems almost completely opposite to before.
This mutation made him vigilant, he took a few steps back, put his hand on the hilt of his sword, and began to look at Hill carefully, only to find out the problem, first of all, Hill is a bard, their hats often have quills inserted in their hats, Hill is naturally no exception, and when outside, Aix also paid attention to Hill's clothing, the colors of the three feathers on Hill's hat are white, green and blue, and here they have become red, black and purple, not only that, Hill's clothing and cloak are slightly different from before, Aix clearly sees some shadows flowing in the cloak, I'm afraid it was when I and Hill entered here that I got entangled.
"You can't fool me, Ciel!" Ax drew his sword and pressed the tip of it against Ciel's chin, "Tell me, truth, where are you now!" Then, Ax directly called Ciel's real name, even the shadow attached to Ciel's body can't go against the power of his true name, not to mention that the person who uses his real name is still a god of the same level as Feiyue.
"I--there was darkness in my eyes-" Ciel gritted his teeth, but finally spat out a few words in a hideous manner, "I can't get out-please help me-"
Ax turned his gaze away, pretending not to hear Ciel, there was a red flower, unlike all the flowers here, in this bewitching flower, it was so holy, beautiful, and unblemished, that it noticed Aix's gaze, and then looked at Ax as well, and at the same time Ax seemed to hear something whispering in his ear, but what kind of experience Ax could have bewitched by this deception?
Before, Hill should have wanted to help him pick it off, so he received the bewitchment and was caught by the shadow, Ax thought, simply, Ax also seemed to be bewitched, threw the sword in his hand aside, and began to approach the flower step by step, the dark shadow parted from Ciel's shadow and followed behind Aix.
As Ax indulged his body, the colors around him began to change, but he couldn't get out of the red background, he couldn't completely let himself out of the sea of flowers, his eyes were hollow, he couldn't see ahead, and he didn't know how far away he was from the manju sawa, but his mind was still clear, and the shadows tried to erode his thoughts more than once, but in the end they couldn't escape the fate of destruction.
One step, two steps, Aix mentally calculated the steps under his feet, and appropriately put the shadow into his mind, so that when the time came, he would catch it all in one, his power was endless, at least for this world, so when he came to Manju Sahua, just a light wave of his hand, Manju Sahua was uprooted, and then, everything returned to tranquility.
The awakened Ciel pushed open the black door for Ax at the first time, this is not a place for the living to stay, and the two must leave here before Manju Sawa can fight back, otherwise even if Aix's power is endless, they can only be trapped here until all of Manju Sawa is destroyed.
The two of them rushed out of the door in embarrassment, closing it before the shadows could follow, "What did you do?" asked Ciel.
"Didn't you say you wanted to get the original Manju Sawah?" Aix pulled out the dead Manju Sawa whose roots were lying with a crimson liquid, too many people had been enslaved by her and ended up as her fertilizer.
"Don't be surprised, or in the future, you will worship me as the supreme god!" Aix smiled slightly, and then threw Manju Sawa to Hill, "Now that Manju Sawa has arrived, we are going to leave for the other side, right?"
"Yes, but before we do that, we have to change our outfits, or the guards there won't let us in!" Ciel pulled out a black cloak with gold trim, which looked a little gloomy but very luxurious. "Remember, don't talk there, just nod or shake your head, smile at someone who touches you, swear at someone if they smile at you, look at them angrily, bow your head and show deference if someone glares at you, so that you can reach the end of the light!"
