Chapter Twenty-Three: The Girl's Dream No. 3
Falling from a nightmare is supposed to be back in the real world, but what El sees is the fabled abyss of hell. Rivers of magma filled with sulfur slowly flow on the charred earth, and strange rocky peaks rise between the earth.
The Abyss of Hell was supposed to be the home of demons, but there was no life in sight here, only the shadow-like jungle that grew tenaciously on the scorched earth, exuding a terrifying evil aura.
The speed of the fall from the sky was so fast that in the blink of an eye, El could already see the true face of the forest, it was not a forest at all, but a nest crisscrossed by endless black thorns!
Being able to build a lair of this magnitude in the abyss of hell is impossible for an ordinary character. Eel's runic power could not penetrate the black thorn forest, which showed that the opponent's strength was far beyond what he could fight.
It can be judged purely from the naked eye, and the one hidden in it is at least a gold-level existence, what really makes El wonder is why such a terrifying monster is hidden in the depths of Lolana's consciousness?
The black thorns looked familiar, and it seemed that Lolana had begun to drive them since she had woken up from a coma from a serious injury last time. El was not familiar with alchemists at all, and at that time she only thought that they were the products of alchemy that she had cultivated herself, but now it seems that these black thorns are not as simple as he thought.
"Miss, don't you have anything you want to explain to me?" El asked the girl in his arms, looking at the black thorn forest at his feet.
In retrospect, her father, the old businessman Jupiter, must have known something about this, and wanted to discuss it with him last time, but was deliberately diverted from the topic by Lorana. If you look back, Master Stephen's attitude towards Lolana seems to be very problematic at that time.
How could there be that kind of old madman with a brain twitch who casually rewarded his inheritance disciple as a prize to a wild boy who ran out of nowhere? And that cunning old enchanter couldn't wait to sell his precious goddaughter out...... Looking back now, El suddenly realized that all the strangeness of Lorana's elders seemed to be faintly pointing to an unlikely possibility......
"That's the Hellrose princess Haksuna, and I'...... It's her daughter. Lolana hesitated for a moment and whispered in El's ear.
"Princess?" El was shocked.
Even if he was mentally prepared to be exposed, he never thought that the truth would be so powerful. Thinking about the old businessman Jupiter's vicissitudes of life like a pig's belly, it really makes people sigh that people can't be seen. Who would have thought that guy would have the ability to let a princess give birth to a child for himself?
Not to mention the fact that the princess was prefixed with the magical words "hell" and "rose", and just the slightest thought of that kind of image made El feel like his outlook on life was beginning to crumble.
"It's not what you think!" Seeing El's strange face, Lorana blushed and said in shame, "My biological mother is an ordinary human, but there is also a secret identity that is a demon cultist. When Princess Hellrose descended into the world with the power of the Demon Sect, my mother was chosen as one of the vessels for her arrival, and although she escaped in the end, the seeds of Hellrose had already been planted in her body...... Later, when she gave birth to me, she also passed the seed into my body. ”
"It sounds like a legend made up by a bard. El sighed: "I didn't expect that old guy to have such a romantic history of ups and downs, and I don't know what your mother thought back then...... Of course, you can tell me about this background later, what is your situation now?"
"This seed is a clone of Princess Hellbrier and will grow with its host. Lolana looked at the black thorns under her feet and sighed, and said softly: "My mother's physical fitness is not qualified, so it did not develop at that time, but chose to pass it on to the next generation. As the second host, if my physical fitness is still not up to the mark, I must marry and have children before I reach adulthood at the age of sixteen, and continue to pass on the seeds. ”
"Everything that has anything to do with hell is so weird. El couldn't help but pout and asked, "What will happen if you fail to pass on?"
"If I don't have the physical fitness requirements when I reach adulthood, and I don't get pregnant to pass it on, this seed will drain my soul and flesh. Lolana smiled bitterly, "If my physical fitness can meet the requirements, then when I reach adulthood, I will be descended by the Hellrose Princess to the host of the mortal world." ”
"Why do I sound like I'm going to die left and right?" El was puzzled by this unreasonable, domineering rule. He thought about it carefully for a while, and said, "Then it seems that we can only make a child as soon as possible, and time is urgent." ”
"Who wants to make a child with you!" Lolana patted El on the shoulder angrily, and said seriously: "This is an evil that should not exist in the world, I will not blame my mother, but it is impossible to pass on this sin to the next generation, so that my daughter will continue to bear this pain." ”
"You're thinking too far...... Can you deal with this trouble in front of you first?" El said angrily, Lolana just has this problem of being heartbroken, and it is uncertain whether she can survive or not, and at this time she has already begun to think about the safety of the next generation of children.
However, she also has the advantage of keeping a cool head at all times, being able to accurately judge the situation and cooperate with El, although she is not strong in this regard, she is definitely more reassuring than Palanti.
"Among the thirteen most powerful demon lords of the Abyss Hell, Haksuna ranks at the top, and is an existence worthy of the name that can be called a demon god. Even if it's just a seed of her doppelganger, it's not a problem we can solve now. Lorana sighed and said, "My body is too weak, and now I can't suppress its awakening. If Her Highness the Holy Sister of the Temple of Life were here, she might be able to help me a little. Although she is also a voter, Miss Tiana believes in the sun god Pero, and this nature of divine power has no obvious effect on the plants of hell. ”
"Since I'm already here, I'm going to have to give it a try. Hearing Lorana's words, El felt a slight chill in his heart, but he was not the kind of character who gave up easily.
Seeing the black thorn forest under his feet getting closer and closer, hundreds of black thorns rose into the sky like living creatures, weaving a net in mid-air, blocking all the escape routes around him.
"Go back to hell, slut!" El sneered with a sinking face, and the rune totems in his arms suddenly burst into a dazzling light that he couldn't look at directly.
This is not the real world, but a nightmare that arises from Lolana's inner consciousness, which can also be said to be a fantasy. Having experienced many illusions, El is already quite experienced in this, and here he does not need to worry about the load on his body, and can use the full power of the rune totem without any scruples.
The dragon's roar with both fists made him turn into a meteor wrapped in blue flames in mid-air, straight to the center of the Black Thorn Forest. After a loud bang, red as red magma burst out violently from the earth.
Although humans can't tolerate the temperature of lava, it's not enough for the Hellbriar that grows on the banks of the lava river. The black brambles covered in the gushing magma quickly withered and carbonized, leaving patches of ash on the ground. But black thorns surged in all directions, regaining the original space in an instant, and at the same time allowing the flowing magma to quickly cool and solidify, turning it into their favorite fertilizer.
"How about you try this?" El's voice suddenly came from the crack in the thorns, and a dark blue rune phantom quietly emerged, blending into the surrounding air.
The size of the Dream Rune is small, but the power it brings is not to be underestimated. The black thorns that surrounded him twitched suddenly, and then suddenly straightened up, as if trying to break themselves, and fled from El's side as fast as they could.
Screams and wails came from nowhere, sharp enough to scratch human eardrums. El involuntarily felt numb in his heart, and his eyes went dark, and he was directly ejected from the illusion.
El let out a loud cry, resisting the vertigo caused by the alternation between reality and illusion, and opened his eyes, to find that there was an unknown group of enthusiastic onlookers around him.
He had just asked Palanti to stay by his side just in case, but the next patient's elder brother was shy to come over and witness it for himself. It's a pity that the effect this time is obviously not satisfactory, and Luo Lana still hasn't come to her senses, and her face is a little paler. Seeing this result, Ximako, who originally had a glimmer of hope, turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
The reason that really attracted onlookers was that he used his soul infiltration ability to collide with the Hellrose seed in Lorana's body, and the demonic aura leaking out attracted the attention of those who had a heart. Tiana silently appeared outside the tent, examined the situation inside, and quietly left without disturbing El. After regaining her voter status, an invisible aura of estrangement appeared in her, and the girl became more and more reticent.
The real uninvited villain is the demon brother and sister of the Kemal family, and as soon as El raised his head, he saw Jessica's choppy white tender breasts coming in front of him.
Feeling El's gaze, the demon girl not only did not relent, but instead stretched out her tongue **** her rosy lips, and laughed softly: "General, I don't know what game you were playing just now?"
"You've come just in time. After seeing Jessica, El's eyes lit up, and he grabbed her arm and said, "Miss Jessica, I have a very important matter that I need your help with. ”
