Chapter 68: The Crown of Thorns
Pierro's hand paused slightly, and the glow of the broken silver crystal nucleus in his hand was a little unstable. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ There was a hint of panic in her eyes, but she immediately calmed down.
The crystal nucleus once again emitted a continuous and powerful light, and it slowly flew towards the strange path.
[Do you think you can be redeemed in this way?]
A hoarse female voice rang in Pierrot's ears. Pierrot frowned, not paying attention to her.
[Or do you want him to continue to carry the crown of thorns?]
The crown of thorns is the punishment of God after his fall.
Pierlo bit her lip and tried to warn herself not to listen to the voice.
But she didn't notice that the olives that had been broken before had turned into purple-red thorns little by little.
"What's going on?!" Kiyu, who was trying to clean up the demonic beasts on the side, felt the powerful "absolute" attribute magic, which was a very bad sign.
You want to get him, and then let him bear your guilt. γ
"I didn't!" Pierrot cried hysterically. She was flustered and unsettled. His hands trembled terribly, but he still tried his best to maintain the fusion of the crystal nucleus and Qilu.
Qilu, who was lying on the ground, frowned, looking very painful.
The gate that he remembered was once entangled in olives, but now it was wrapped in layers of thorns.
[Look, isn't this rose your possessiveness for this child?]
These words were heard only by Pierlo.
"No!" Pierro's eyes were terrified, and she shook her head vigorously, looking crazy.
On the sidelines, Kiyo could only hear Pierlo's self-talk, and saw her acting erratically.
"Pierro!" Kiyo tried to check, but was blocked by purple thorns.
There were more bright red roses on the thorns, and the rose thorns reached for Pierrot and circled her wrists and ankles.
The spikes of the thorns pierced into Pierlo's skin, but there was not a trace of blood. The roses, on the other hand, looked like they had been stained with blood.
You are just a puppet, without life, without the right to possess. γ
The silver-white crystal nucleus in mid-air lost its light.
"Pierro, wake up!" something strange happened, and Kiyu shouted anxiously.
The appearance of Pierrot was undoubtedly a turning point. Tara's seal has been broken, and the Demon King may appear at any time. In order to stop Xiyu's manipulation of the illusion, Qilu gave up maintaining Tara's seal, so he recruited the attack of the arcane circle and fell unconscious.
He is no longer the utopian god with divine evidence and crystal nucleus, and without these two things, he is just an ordinary person.
But it's he, an ordinary person, who is the key to sealing the Demon King!
[Come to me, I will give you everything you want. γ
The voice of the Demon King rang in Pierro's ears again, and her voice was so enchanting that Pierro lost her mind.
Pierlo's eyes were hollow, his skin began to become lifeless, and his limbs were as stiff as wood.
"These branches are annoying!" These branches are endless, and no matter how much they are cut, they can form a solid wall to block Xiyu's path.
[I'll help you.] γ
A storm was blowing around, and a strong magic wave came from the center of the storm, but this magic wave did not belong to Pierrot himself, nor did it belong to the crystal nucleus of Qilu.
However, it has the dream attribute of Qilu.
It's a magic mutation.
The space was thrown into chaos by the storm, and even the Magic Council, which was a little farther away, was strongly affected.
"What kind of demonic beast is so powerful?" said Su Cong's face was solemn. He was well-informed, and dared to claim that there were no monsters he didn't know. But now, I am also stumped by this situation.
"It's probably not a monster," Chidori sighed, speaking slowly.
He had studied the dolls of Qilu, and he had already noticed that she was extraordinary. Not to mention that this puppet is exquisitely made, just the Dream Shatter Crystal hidden in her body will make everyone present crazy.
This magic fluctuation is similar to the magic of Dream Shattering Crystal, but it is not the magic of Dream Shattering Crystal. Because he himself was the holder of the Dream Shatter Crystal, his perception could not be wrong.
Then, combined with the information of the puppets brought to him by Sixteen Nights, he was able to guess seven or eight.
The power of puppetry lies precisely in the fact that the puppet can do dangerous things in place of the owner. Therefore, the doll and the owner have the same heart.
However, puppetry has a subtle limitation. If the owner is impure and uses the puppet to commit crimes, the puppet's magic will mutate. This mutated magic hurts his master anytime and anywhere, and it wasn't until one day he couldn't stand the hurt and let go of the puppet that he was able to get free.
The magic fluctuations that came from this time were extremely powerful, and it was similar to the magic of Dream Shatter Crystal. As far as Chidori knows, the only one who can create such a magic fluctuation is a puppet of Qilu.
"I don't know how her master is ...... now," Chidori muttered to herself, her face undisguised with concern.
Qilu's true identity is the god of utopia, dreams. The magic mutation brought about by puppetry is the crown of thorns on him.
That is the fall of God.
The storm grew stronger, and the mutated magic continued to impact the illusion. The vortex opened by the arcane magic circle gradually expanded, and the center of the vortex rotated faster and faster, and there were more demonic beasts around it.
γStorm...... Mana Mutation...... Dreamland...... It turns out that her purpose is this!]
Something suddenly occurred to Himuyo. He stopped his attack on the purple and red thorns, and quickly turned to face the black vortex that opened in space.
The surrounding demonic beasts instantly surged up, trying to stop his actions.
But unexpectedly, Nozomi leaned back slightly, and threw the spear in his hand hard!
The spear was in the center of the vortex, and the rotation in the center stopped instantly.
Pierlo's eyes instantly cleared, but there was still no life in his body.
She lowered her head, her shoulders shaking.
The surrounding purple-red brambles faded in color and turned a blunt gray. But the red flowers that bloomed on it did not fade at all. They bloomed more and more vigorously, and the petals flew in the air with the whirlwind around them.
She jerked her head up and shouted at the whirlpool in mid-air, "You don't want me to be your puppet anymore!"
The Demon King has just woken up, she is weak and in dire need of a powerful helper.
And Pierrot is the best choice.
So, she reused her old tricks and made Pierrot her puppet.
But Pierrot wouldn't do it again.
Her master will only be Qilu.
With a flick of his wrist, the tarnished crystal nucleus erupted with a silvery white glow. Pierrot crouched down slowly, carefully sending the crystal nucleus towards Qilu.
The crystal nucleus sank into Qilu's chest.
The storm stopped suddenly, and the gray thorns instantly turned into dust and disappeared into the air, leaving only petals flying in the sky.
"Jingle bells. β
With the sound of a bell falling to the ground, Qilu opened his eyes.
The scene reflected in front of me is a sky full of flower petals.
A bell had dropped from his hand, and he fumbled to pick it up on the ground.
"Pierrot ......"
The bell was originally tied to Pierlo's skirt.
Piero returned the nucleus to Kiru and dissolved herself.
I won't let you wear the Crown of Thorns again. γ
Pierro's voice remained in the bell.
