"Do you like sacrifices?"

"Go and sacrifice. Tell him I'm forty kilometers away. ”
After the insect finished speaking, he jumped and melted into the night. She stood on the roof of the house, her head tilted, looking out of the city, her wings flapping silently behind her. Thirteen minutes, forty kilometers, and the airboat is still moving, it is impossible to catch up with a pair of wings alone.
Flogisa's ride came much sooner than she expected. The 150-meter-long airboat floated overhead, and the mansion full of death compared to it looked like a house toy in a girl's playhouse. Extending from the hull of the ship, the magic ball resembles a colorful fruit, shining with powerful magical power. Under the light of the orb, the elemental cannon on the deck looked much weaker.
Death bloomed subconsciously holding his breath. She saw the elf with its furious red hair landing, and flew silently towards the airship. She could only hope that the little girl's "sacrifice" was enough to trick the battle-hardened Frogissa into ordering her to leap forty kilometers away. In this way, she will be able to pass through the gap in space and take a boat with a tailwind, just like the last time she came to the East Continent from the Western Continent.
The buildings underneath are getting smaller and smaller. A cold wind blew through her body, and she could ask about the stench of the heat from a small piece of fire in the mansion. She saw a little girl on the ground, holding a compass in her hands, talking to Flogisa.
"Ten minutes. Kazkaz said in a flat tone, "If you are unwilling, you can give me the most precious thing in your body that is useless to you, and I will help you complete your revenge." ”
"What's that?"
Kazkaz didn't answer, just as she wanted to ask. Frogissa suddenly raised her head, and a fiery red gaze shot into her compound eye. The thought flashed through her mind. As the elf lowered her head again and grabbed Taresha's hand beside her, a distorted blue light flashed. Death Bloom felt the space being torn apart and looked up to see Frogiza back on deck.
After a while, the ship trembled, hummed, and accelerated. Death Bloom suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, flapping his wings and flying at the same time as the faster and faster spaceship. The airship got faster and faster, and a distorted blue light flashed. Death Bloom followed the airship and flew into a massive spatial rift.
The surrounding scenery is distorted, as if an oil painting has been poured with hot water, and all kinds of colors are blended together. But after a while, those confused colors suddenly became clear.
Death Bloom came forty kilometers away. She saw that on the withered yellow earth, several concentration camps as neat as tofu blocks, as big as a city. There seemed to be a riot in the camp, with flames dancing and every now and then orange fireballs passing over the camp and exploding. Not far away, under the black glass of the night, an airship flew with a flash, her prey.
Death bloomed and got excited. The airship was below her, and she gathered her wings and swooped down like an eagle towards the last survivor. Flogisa's car was still only a dozen meters above her, and she was very careful to make sure that she was not detected by magic, whether it was light, sound, or anything else.
Death Bloom seemed to have seen the flames and death twenty seconds later. Her forelimbs trembled with excitement, and she wasn't going to shoot down the airboat, which could hit the concentration camp below.
She swooped silently. In just twenty seconds, Death Bloom will pounce on the deck of the airship, slaughtering the panicked Imperial soldiers, biting off the head of the last murderer. And there was nothing Flogisa could do about it, and he could only watch Arcanis die before his eyes.
The wind whistled across her head. Death Bloom felt brighter and brighter, and a sizzling sound came after him. Is the sun rising? No, it can't be. The light behind him grew brighter and brighter. Kazkaz turned his head to see the orb glowing, and the entire ship was shrouded in a screen of light. Frogissa stood behind the light screen, his gaze like a knight's spear, piercing through the glittering light screen and falling into Arcanis' eyes.
Didn't wait for Death Bloom to react. With a wave of Flogisa's raised hand, the elemental cannon roared, and colorful clusters of light passed through the light screen. The glowing light of the orb entangled the ball of light, dyeing them all white, like a large shining net covering the death that could not escape.
She couldn't escape. His eyes were white, and his ears seemed to rush into the waves, but soon no sound could be heard. The heat swept away her shell, and the pain came and went quickly. In the face of this terrifying torrent of energy, she could only use her forelimbs to protect her head. In this white world, she lost all contact with the outside world, not knowing if she was in the air or had fallen to the earth. She even suspected that she had fallen to the ground and turned into a charred grasshopper.
Finally, the white color dissipated. Death Bloom wasn't dead yet, and she found that only part of her compound eye worked, and the rest turned to char. Not only the compound eyes, but the shell that originally had the color of cangyan has been scorched black, and the black fragments are constantly flying away with the wind. She fell limply, and she found that all that remained of her forelimb was a small black stick.
She looked up and saw that her goal was getting farther and farther away. Anger welled up in her, and she swung her remaining forelimbs hard at her target, causing her to lose her balance and spin in the air. Arkanis was so furious, so angry that her body seemed to be about to break free from the half-cooked worm body.
"Four minutes. Kazkaz's voice was colder than this winter, "You don't have any chances. ”
Isn't there any chance?, Arcanis thought to himself. In a short moment, she seemed to see her fate. Falls to the ground, like a grasshopper that has been stepped on, and kicks weakly on its hind legs (if there is any).
She failed. Half of the Elemental Knights were turned into the coffins of the drivers. The Council of Twelve, who led all of this, was killed by only one of the twelve who were familiar with the massacre process. Is 100,000 innocent refugees going to survive, and at the last moment of victory, she will become another loser at the foot of the empire?
"What the hell is that thing?"
The vengeful anger scorched her nerves, and she asked with a growl in her mind.
"Compassion. ”
The answer was so unexpected that she even hesitated. As the world swirled, she saw the earth draw nearer and nearer.
"Ate it. ”
Arkanis said.
"I can only shoot it now. ”
"Eat it!"
Arcanis' eyes were blood-red.
"Eat a little first, and then finish it later. Kazkaz replied.
Arcanis felt a little empty, and then resentment filled the small void. Her body underwent a magical change, and spikes emerged from under her charred flesh like bamboo shoots after rain. Each one is made of her anger. They broke away from their half-cooked bodies and rained down on the airships in the distance.
The spike swarm is anomalously accurate. The Empire's core air power is like a small ship caught in a storm at sea, drifting helplessly in a spiky rain. The sturdy hull had been corroded through holes and broken into a beehive. It spun in the air, throwing out fragments and human bodies.
Arcanis kept his focus on the helpless airship. She landed on a tree, which was soft and integrated into her body. The charred body was given a new lease of life, and it healed in just a few minutes.
"You only have ten minutes to escape. Kazkaz's voice did not disturb the distant Acanis. She watched intently as the falling airship spun through the spiky rain.
"Will he die?"
Arcanis asked.
The airship suddenly burst into flames, turning into a blazing fireball. The elemental core exploded, and the spike-burst liquid corroded it. No one could survive the fire, and Arkanis had seen that the transports that fell outside Kazakhstan burned for three days and three nights, and the empire could not extinguish the flames.
"He's dead. ”
At that moment, the sweetness of revenge welled up in my heart. But it didn't take long for her to see a terrible scene.
The flaming airboat plunged into a large concentration camp. Huge fireballs rose and bright flames rushed towards the wooden concentration camp. In an instant, the camp was filled with the crackling sound of flames and the screams of people. The screams even drowned out the flames and exploded. The screams don't last long, and those who shout will soon be scorched to death by the flames.
She killed them. Arcanis was in agony, and she rushed out, waving her forelimbs feebly and screaming of defeat in front of the raging fire. The flames were 100 meters high, like a huge bonfire on the ground, and the wind of flames slapped against Arcanis's body. She roared, and in the light of the fire, she saw faces dying in agony: Ramon's father and son, the starving man with bark on the side of the road, the fresh corpse eaten by wild dogs. They vanished with a low, scream.
Arcanis' forelimbs suddenly stopped. Her chest was empty, and the pain was gone. She didn't feel any pain, the fire became an ordinary fire, and the screams became an ordinary insect chirping. She saw a mass of people screaming behind the crumbling and burning wooden walls, trying to rush out of the wall together. But the burning wooden wall refuses to budge.
Arcanis's compound eyes relentlessly reflected their struggle. Instead of jumping over to break the wall, she turned around and fled into the dead woods. She wondered the pain just now, why did she waste precious escape time just now and run to the fire to howl?
She asked herself as she ran.
