Late at night.

Modu Kendo Alliance Branch.

Five-storey treatment area, in the ward.

Ning Shi, who was dressed in white, took his hand away from Li Fei's forehead, breathed a long sigh of relief, looked at Li Ao who looked nervous, and smiled: "Fortunately, I don't disgrace my life." ”

"I've suppressed the [Soul Eater]'s gray energy, but I can only suppress it, not eradicate it."

Hearing Master Ning's words, Leo's hanging heart finally relaxed: "Whew...... Thank you so much, Senior Brother Ning, for letting you rush over from the imperial capital in your busy schedule. ”

"It's all trivial, my own family." Master Ning smiled and looked at Tuoba Jun on the side: "Teacher, the matter is over, then I will leave first, there are still many matters in the imperial capital." ”

"Go ahead, go ahead, remember to come back and see my old bones more when you have time." Tuoba Jun put his hands behind his back and said.

"Your body is still strong." Ning Shi shook his head with a smile, and then turned his gaze to Leo: "Then, Leo, I'll go first." ”

"Come on, I'm looking forward to the day when you'll be promoted to the Sword Master."

"Thank you so much." Leo bowed sincerely again and thanked him.

This time, Master Ning was willing to help, completely for the sake of the face of the old man Tuoba.

Even as a titled sword master, suppressing gray qi is not an easy task.

Of the more than a dozen people who survived the explosion of Shengming Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., only Li Fei was able to get treatment and save his life.

The others, although they were also recuperating, could only watch as the ashes completely eroded their spirits and eventually died.

It's not that Ning Shi is ruthless.

Rather, there is a heart but no power.

It was getting late, and Leo personally sent Ning Shi and the old man Tuoba Jun away, and then returned to the ward.

Ning Shi was busy with affairs, so he didn't rest in the magic capital, and returned to the imperial capital directly by car.

And the old man of the Tuoba Army worked hard all day, especially during the day when facing the blonde youth, he went all out to urge the sword domain, which consumed a lot of money, and he was in urgent need of cultivation.

In the empty room, the sound of "Didi" belonging to medical equipment sounded regularly, and Leo sat on the edge of the bed, looking at his sister, who was no longer so pale, and fell silent.

The power of [Soul Eater], although it was suppressed by Ning Shi, would not spread again, but the erosion caused before could not be helped.

Regardless of whether Master Ning could do such a delicate operation, with the strength and quantity of his sword intent, he would not be able to annihilate the ash qi to the extent.

And Li Fei, whose spirit was infected by nearly a quarter, according to the doctor's words, although there is no danger of life, there is a high probability that it will be difficult to wake up.

"Damn ......"

Leo pursed his lips tightly and clenched his fists.

There had never been a moment when he hated his weakness so much.

If he has sword intent......

You can get rid of the ash.

Even, if he is strong enough, he can directly find out the mastermind behind all this, the S-class gray mist monster [Soul Eater], and kill it.

But these are only ifs.

Now he is too weak...... is so weak that she can only watch her sister suffer, but she can't do anything about it.

"Strength, I need, stronger strength......"

……

If there is a book, it is long, and if there is no book, it is short.

Leo spent the night with his sister in the hospital room, and the next day, he spent a lot of money to hire a nurse to take care of his sister.

It is said that she is very famous in the industry and is a very kind middle-aged elder sister.

Then, he returned to the Anning community alone and came to his bedroom.

Today is the fifth day since he returned from the dream world, and tonight, he will enter the dream world again.

Compared with the past, this time, Leo, who is about to enter the dream world, is extremely urgent in his heart.

My sister's situation can't be delayed.

Although the ash qi of the [Soul Eater] has been suppressed and no longer deepens the erosion, who can know what the consequences will be for this quarter of the spirit that has been corroded.

Lying on the bed, Leo was wearing a Class B hazmat suit, with a telescope around his neck, holding a light chase in one hand and a compound longbow and arrow miss in the other.

These days have been busy, and he has no time to look for a more powerful longbow, so he can only use this compound longbow first.

Tonight's night was extraordinarily deep, with thick clouds covering the moonlight completely.

Leo lay on the bed, silently waiting for the dizziness to come.

The desperate desire for strength, the worry and fear of my sister's situation, and the confusion about the unknown that the dream world is about to face......

Mixed emotions are surging in my heart.

I don't know how long later, the hazy consciousness was suddenly pulled by some force, and in a daze, Leo fell asleep.

……

"Whoa...... Whoop ......"

The sharp sound of the wind, passing by his ears, carried a whimper that was indiscernible in his senses.

The body of the ups and downs floated to the surface of the water, and at the same time, Leo opened his eyes leisurely.

The surging red moonlight shone obliquely through the hollowed-out tower windows, staining everything in the room with a faint blush.

The picture of the knight hanging on the wall, in the red moonlight, his eyes seemed to burn scarlet, and he wanted to devour people.

"Hoo ......"

Leo took a deep breath and slowly rose from it.

After checking his body and equipment as usual, and making sure that there was no problem, he pushed open the door and walked out onto the balcony.

The night of the dream world is always magnificent and dreamy.

Beneath the blood-red full moon is a churning sea of gray mist. The pure gray fog in the daytime, at this moment, the gray and red are mixed, which is even more mysterious.

Leo looked up at the night sky.

In the past, he was always amazed by the beauty of the night in the dream world, and shocked by the strangeness of the blood-colored full moon. But since he knew the horror of the gray fog that invaded the world, and then looked at the high heaven that was completely filled with the gray mist, his heart could only tremble.

Gray Mist, what the hell is it?

What is the relationship between distortion and gray fog?

In his thoughts, Leo walked straight down from the balcony.

In the process of falling, a surging blue light appeared on the surface of his body, and the gravity was mostly canceled out by the miraculous power of the soul at this moment, causing his body to fall to the ground at an even speed.

A gentle breeze blows through the sides of the cheeks, and a feeling of extreme relaxation and comfort emerges from the heart.

Coming to the dream world, the forbidden magic returned to control again, and that kind of fulfillment and security made Leo feel extremely impatient because of his sister's affairs, and slowly calmed down.

The road must always be taken step by step.

The more urgent it is, the more likely it is to have an accident.

This is especially true in a world like the dream world, where a crisis can come at any time.

Silently descending onto the main street, Leo looked up, his gaze stretching ahead along the not-so-bright street lamps on both sides of the street, and the hazy fog was dispelled by the lights, all the way to the huge gate in front of the hundred-meter-high wall.

Along the way, the sound of shallow footsteps spread to all directions, and the southern city of the city, which the Ryol knights used to patrol day and night, was lonely at this time.

Because, the guardians of this city have been hunted by the teenagers and turned into firewood for the burning of pure white souls.

Arriving at the closed gates beneath the high walls, Leo paused in front of the reddish armor and great sword in the moonlight.

That is the persistence of [Blackstone Fortress], and it is also the last clothed mound to bear.

The wordless gaze is the highest salute to a warrior.

The night wind takes away the souls that belong to the old era, the unknown distance ahead.

Leo withdrew his gaze and looked at the massive city gate beneath the high walls.

The closer you get, the more you can feel the oppression brought about by the size gap.

The city wall is tens of meters high, and people stand in front of it, like ants.

With such a large city gate, it is hard to imagine what kind of giant it would be to be qualified if it were not pushed by machinery and simply by the power of the flesh.

Even though the soul fire brightness had reached 5.3, Leo didn't feel that he could push this huge thick city gate with his own strength.

Most of this stuff is iron, and its weight has to be measured in tons.

Under the moonlight, Leo could see that the embossed patterns on the surface of the city gate looked like a huge redbud flower in full bloom from a distance.

Fortunately, at the beginning of this thing, the need for small creatures to enter and exit was also taken into account, and below the large city gate, there were two small doors five meters high.

Yes, the small door, the five-meter-high door, is already a gate for people in the real world, but in terms of the knights who are more than three meters old at every turn that Leo has seen in the dream world, it is really just a small door.

When he came to the small door, Leo pulled out the light and cut the lock on the door with a sword.

In the face of the light chasing with [Enchantment: Sharp], the general hard object is really unbearable.

Without rushing in through the small gate, Leo stood in front of the gates of the city, ready to make an attempt.

He summoned the magic of the wind, causing it to form a layer of cyan light on the sword that constantly vibrated at a high frequency.

Then, with his sword in hand, he slashed at the gate of the city.

He was going to try to see if he could break through the city gates with the power of magic.

The long sword with magic power slashed through the air, but just as it touched the city gate, an inexplicable force emerged from the city gate, canceling out most of the magic power on the long sword, making this sword down, and the long sword only cut into seven or eight centimeters.

Such a distance is not even an itch for this city gate with a thickness of nearly one meter.

"Sure enough......"

Leo's eyes focused on the lines of the Great City Gate, and when he first saw it, he felt that something was wrong with the City Gate.

Now I tried it, and sure enough, there was a problem.

It's not so much a pattern, but rather an enchantment that gives the entire Great City Gate "anti-demon".

The attack of magic power is not one in ten for this big city gate.

This also explains why, after so many years, this large city gate is still intact and has not been broken by the terrifying aberrant monster inside.

"The First Evolution"

Even the black mud python monster I saw last time crawled out of the city walls, not through the city gates.

After putting the sword into the sheath and confirming the "firmness" of the Great City Gate, Leo had a bottom in his heart.

The existence of the Great City Gate has turned the entire southern part of the city into a safe place to some extent.

In case you encounter some terrifying large-sized monsters in the depths of Yor City, you can also retreat to the southern city and use the big city gate as a barrier to rest.

Back in front of the small city gate, Leo pressed his hands on both sides of the gate and pushed hard.

"Squeak-squeak-"

In the sour sound of the shaft, the gate of the city, which had been sealed for many years, finally opened again.

The fine dust that drifts away, in the red moonlight, is like pink diamonds, reflecting the misty dreamy brilliance.

After pushing the gate open a width large enough for his body to enter, Leo stopped his efforts.

I have to say that this gate is really heavy, and I don't know what material it is made of, even if it is a small city gate, I don't have a ton of strength in my arms, so I don't want to push it.

Of course, a ton is already a small case for Leo. When the brightness of the soul fire reached 3.0, the strength of his arms reached a ton.

Not to mention now.

Placing his hand on the hilt of the long sword at his waist, Leo walked into the city gate with a cautious expression.

After activating the magic power, he will not pretend to be weak, after all, from the many soul gray memory fragments, he knows that the transcendent who activates the magic power, even if it is the absolute top combat power in the entire Yoel City, but he will never be arrogant because of this.

Because, today's City of York is no longer the City of York in the memory of those people.

It has become a hotbed of aberration, and after so many years, I don't know how many terrible monsters have been bred inside.

I don't know how many existences like the Black Mud Python Monster can confront the transcendent head-on.

Even if it is an extraordinary person, if you are not careful, you will die here.

It is not unreasonable for Leo to be cautious.

Stepping through the city gate, the scene in front of him made Leo slightly stunned.

Because what he saw was not the scene of monsters and aberrations.

In the depths of the moonlit city, there is a quiet place, with towers similar to those of Nancheng District, as if it were a quiet and peaceful place.

Leo frowned.

He didn't believe it would be as "peaceful" as it seemed.

The eagle's eye opened, piercing through the night and mist, but unfortunately, no matter how much Leo explored, he couldn't see anything wrong.

"Hoo ......"

Exhaling slightly, Leo narrowed his eyes and activated the wind magic in his body at the same time, making it in a state that could be mobilized at any time, and then raised his feet and set off.

Since you haven't found any monsters, let's go straight ahead. You can't stop because you're afraid, now he's also an extraordinary, and he's also an extraordinary person with wind attribute magic, even if he can't beat it, it's still no problem to escape.

Wind attribute, but speed is the fastest magic power......

When it comes to escaping, he's a connoisseur.

Behind the Great City Gate, a wide main street leads into the dark depths of the distance, flanked by faint floating street lamps.

Leo walked down the main street, slowing down and walking silently.

On both sides of the main street, there are towers tens of meters high.

Although they are the same towers, the towers here are different from those in the southern part of the city.

The towers in the southern city are basically triangular spires at the tips, and the top of the towers here is a dome.

After advancing along the main street for hundreds of meters, there were no unusual changes around him, which made Leo's brows furrow deeper, and even a doubt appeared in his heart.

Is it really safe here?

"Silk ...... Silk ......"

The slightly cool night sky suddenly blew a light breeze, bringing a refreshing coolness, and in the dimness, the corners of Leo's mouth outlined a shallow arc.

The next second.

"Boom!"

The sword unsheathed, and the blade of the flame ignited, slashing at the shadow of the street lamp beside him.

"Shhh

Under the street lamp, the shadow that originally looked extremely normal suddenly became hideous.
