Chapter Erxilu: Bad ending
Anthony died. Sheldon couldn't turn his head to help him, and once he made a rash move, his newly erected stone wall would be instantly destroyed by the rain of swords, and he would definitely be pierced into a sieve.
If he died, what would Merlin do? Now, as his father and as his mother, I have so little to offer him. Even if he survives this catastrophe, he will be subjected to inhuman torture when he returns to the Merlin Sect. What's more, this body and soul carry the ability to manipulate time, and if the soul is extracted, the power that remains in this world will be wiped out immediately......
The main task now is not to protect Paradise Lost with Anthony, this fat man is now dead, and ensuring Merlin's safety comes first, and the second is to escape with him. But...... If he died, how could Merlin live? There is a limit to his powers, and even with the protection of Nightmare, it is still a question whether he can survive such a fierce attack.
"Mr. Laurent, can you bring him down?" A band of brown light erupted from Sheldon's eyes, through the hard, thick stone wall, and directly onto the bishop, "His body is gradually getting darker!" β
The dead blackness on the bishop's body had spread from his hands to his chest, and even to his feet, two lines of blood and tears were gushing down from the bishop's eyes, and the whites of his eyes were also hopelessly black! The power of the Dissociating Hand is to disintegrate everything, so those who use it will be affected accordingly until they are dissolved. This process was obviously painful, but the bishop of the Dissociation sect actually endured the pain of a thousand cuts, and continued to unfold countless violent magic vortices around him, throwing out hard and sharp swords!
"Damn...... The damage rate of the mech's body is more than 30 percent, so I should have brought more [Choir] replacement mechs if I knew it......" Laurent threw the last few mechanical balls in his hand, turning them into two huge mechanical arms, as well as the base part of [Choir], "The source of this man's strength is his gloves, and it seems that using these gloves is also putting a lot of load on him, and his vitality is declining sharply. Whether he fights or not, he is expected to die today. The damage rate of the bore has reached one-fifth, and a small half of the muzzle is still loaded. It can only be delayed! β
"I don't have a lot of mana...... "The green tendons on Sheldon's hands exploded, and they should have been bloody, but now they were dyed with a light brown magic color, "I can last a long time!" Request artillery support! Give me fifteen seconds, and I'll sing the praises of the devil! β
Two men, one heaven and one earth, actually stubbornly supported the onslaught that the other party exchanged for their lives! Sheldon jerked his hands up and took four or five steps back, the four stone walls directly propped up, and he withdrew his magic power and concentrated on preparing his magic. This also caused the magic pattern that had been repaired to repair the stone wall to retreat from the wall, and in just an instant, the first stone wall revealed a dense blade, and it immediately collapsed with a bang!
"Good!" Laurent twisted his handle, stared at the bishop floating in mid-air, and tapped the bright red button in the center of the dial, "Play on!" β
A huge number of magic guns stretched out from the two huge mechanical arms, and a thick rune shield unfolded around it, and Laurent manipulated the entire [choir] to push forward, and where the two mechanical arms slashed, countless swords were all bounced apart, and between the gaps were shot out more dense magic bullets than before. Behind him, the trumpet-shaped cannons lit up in rows, and the thick rune cannonballs like tree trunks vigorously drew countless amazing arcs in the air, surpassing the rain of swords and directly pounced on the bishop's face!
Sheldon folded his hands together and responded with a hard earth under his reverent and solemn call, and he chanted the demon in a loud voice, and four demonic lines poured down from the top of his head, through his body, to his feet, and finally to the farthest point of his vision!
[In my name]
[The southeast of the town, the northwest of the town, the sky of the town, the earth of the town]
[Unrivaled power, unrivaled power]
γEverything! γ
Laurent had never seen a stone as soft as flowing water, but at this moment, he was also stunned for a moment. A huge "stone droplet" was pulled out of the ground, as if the earth was an ocean, and he took out a cloud of water full of vitality from this vast and endless sea!
This spell was Sheldon's most powerful technique, and during the orc rebellion, he used it to summon countless swords harder than iron to slash the fierce orcs. Truth be told, lethality is not the strong point of this move, but the flexibility in it. Under this spell, the earth elemental can indeed achieve the effect of "all kinds of phenomena" mentioned in Sheldon's magic. He needs control, not aggression right now.
The Bishop in the air looked annoyed, the black had spread to the lower half of his face, and was even pushing upwards. He raised his hand, and a huge golden magic vortex suddenly appeared in the air, and a sword with a length and width of dozens of meters quickly fell out from within, and his right hand was like a knife, slashing down fiercely, and the sword in the air followed his movements, and it also swung down violently! The giant sword swept away the torrent of magic bullets flying in front of him, and at the same time, it also served as a solid shield, and it fell to the ground to withstand the fierce shelling that flew from a distance!
Click...... Click!
"Damn it!" The bishop saw with his own eyes that the giant sword he had created actually cracked a crystal gap in it, and behind it was the rising flame of a cannonball, "You all deserve to die!" β
The greatsword was broken by an epic shot from the choir, and the remaining cannonballs blasted towards the slightly embarrassed bishop according to the original trajectory. The bishop, who couldn't respond for a while, had to stretch out his hands and push forward, trying to release his dissipating power from them, but as soon as the power was released, the cannonball in front of him had already exploded!
Boom! Bang bang bang!
Countless cannonballs burst into flames in the air, and all kinds of magical brilliance burst out like fireworks. The [Choir] can only play triumphant movements, and Laurent, as a [Master Craftsman], obviously has two brushes, and is not easy to mess with military-level machinery.
But the figure of the other party is still firmly standing in the sky, standing tall. A new vortex of magic could be seen slowly forming in the colorful smoke. Merlin, who was not far away, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this scene, but his brows were still condensed. While Laurent's Choir can't completely smash the Bishop to pieces, Sheldon's spell is now complete.
"I hope we can hold him back before he runs out of life...... "Sheldon raised his hand and squeezed it fiercely forward!
In an instant, the heavens and the earth seemed to be upside down for a moment, and the magic patterns that stretched out on the ground jumped into the air, all attached to the huge "rock droplets" in the air, and this huge water droplet immediately became angular and angular, and finally formed a smooth hollow hexahedron. Sheldon manipulated the massive stony droplets that had formed to move to the bishop's side, engulfing him without a moment's notice.
Sheldon's hand worked harder, and the barrier that wrapped the bishop suddenly tightened, and the magic patterns that lingered on the barrier flickered and became denser and denser! Accordingly, the power of dissipation came from within, resisting this incomparably powerful killing move. The gray and decaying gray of decay were soon faintly revealed in the demon pattern, and the entire stone cube trembled violently, small and large, bright and dark.
"Tsk......" Sheldon felt a huge resistance, even if he tried his best, but there was still no way to prevent his spell from being quickly dissolved, seeing this, he simply waved his hands and lit up all the magic patterns on the spell, "Shattered!" β
The huge spell in front of him was finally disintegrated by Sheldon into six glowing stone slabs, and a crystal point of light leaked out from the center of each stone slab, and countless cracks quickly spread out around it! In the continuous click, the stone slabs around the bishop suddenly shattered into sharp stone cones, and under Sheldon's command, they pierced the man in the center together!
"Quick...... Come on! Sheldon turned around, only to find Merlin waving vigorously at them, and the anxious look on his face was about to turn into a stream of water, "Hurry up! β
The Bishop's whole face had turned a gloomy black, and he was like a candle in the wind, as if with a gentle blow he would turn into a fragile puff of ash and disappear in the air. But there were still dense swords around him, and they were straight soldiers, carving out positions around him! And the stone cone summoned by Sheldon was directly shattered by the dissipating power on the blade the moment it touched those swords!
"Ignorant and inferior ants...... Give me all the death! The bishop raised his hand, and the hilt of his sword shot out from around him.
They pierced the air around them, and even left indelible traces in the space, and Sheldon and Laurent could faintly see the dissolving power attached to the sword, and everything came from this!
"What the hell is this......" Laurent manipulated the choir, whether it was blown up or not, shooting out the last of the stock, "how is that possible! β
These swords, which were attached to the power of the Dissociating Hand, pierced through the exploding cannonballs and plunged into the choir, which was already at the end of the crossbow, and the luster metal suddenly became dim and dusty, and the gray dead air spread over the vast and complex machine, and a clangling explosion was heard inside, but it was quickly annihilated.
Merlin couldn't stand any longer when he saw one of the swords plunged into Laurent's chest, and ran straight for Sheldon, who was running towards him. There were so many swords behind him that it was impossible for his "father" to completely dodge them.
"Don't come here!" Sheldon had also used up the last of his magic, and in this confrontation, they finally lost.
No one knows how long the man above his head will last, or how powerful the gloves he wears on his hands are. But the only thing that can be known is that Anthony is dead, Laurent is dead, William's life and death are unknown, and now even Sheldon cannot escape the fate of death.
"Hurry up...... Hurry up! Merlin's pupils resurfaced in layers of chains of time, countless threads of time extending from all over his body, linking to each weapon that flew in his way. He, along with Sheldon, was within the Bishop's attack.
The illusory threads wrapped around the flying weapons, dragging them forcefully into the back of time. The speed of these swords, spears, and halberds visibly slowed down to the naked eye, but they were about to accelerate forward at the same speed! What's more, the dissipating power entangled in these weapons can also melt the time thread that extends out of itself!
It hurts......
Since Merlin is a part of time, the extended line of time is also a part of him, and the breaking of the line of time will naturally leave a corresponding pain in his spirit! But no matter how painful it is, I have to hold on and let Sheldon and myself out of the disaster!
"What are you doing! Merlin! This was the first time Sheldon yelled at Merlin, and he scooped up the little boy's body, his trembling legs making a final struggle, "Didn't you say you were going back?" β
"I can help." Merlin's eyes widened, allowing the sight to be fully unfolded in front of him.
Sheldon ran wildly, stunned for a moment, and a mixture of shame, anger, anxiety and unbearability immediately appeared on his face: "Even if I die, you must not die, you know?" Because you are my son! My proudest son! β
Syllable!
Merlin's outstretched hands were flicked back, and the tips of his ten fingers were flushed with bright red blood at the same time, and no matter how many timelines he had spawned, the power of these swords would dissolve them accordingly.
"No...... Don't ......" Merlin buried his head in Sheldon's chest in agony, and for a moment he hated his powerlessness and hesitation.
He vaguely saw the bishop slowly descend from the sky, his pitch-black body moving stiffly, walking towards the increasingly unstable divine blood, the gloves on his hands were radiating a misty white light, which was rapidly dissolving the space around the divine blood until his true body was revealed.
The huge coercion rippled out of the shield made of space at once, and both the people and everything around them could not escape his influence. The earth is wailing, and it is crumbling with the blood of the gods at its center; The sky was wailing, the blue with a little white was suddenly blackening, and a great cyclone was forming; All the creatures around them briefly lost their minds under the impact, and fell to the ground, convulsing and foaming at the mouth. The gravitational pull was changing, and the surrounding light was twisted into thick streams of water, sucked by the divine blood in front of the inn. Heaven and earth were even turned upside down by the coming of the blood of God!
The two of them invariably showed extremely painful looks, and Sheldon's seven orifices spurted red blood, and he fell to the ground with a snort. Merlin's situation was much better, but he also felt that his body was being pulled by countless pairs of large hands.
"Ahhhh!!!!h Merlin fell to the ground, rolling forward several times, curled up in pain with his glittering body, his demonic patterns breaking through the restrictions he had set and revealing all over his skin.
He opened his eyes in pain and looked in Sheldon's direction, only to find that four or five swords had pierced the man's body, and the dissipating power of them hadn't even allowed him to shed blood and disintegrate them all. The color of life belonging to Sheldon also dimmed at the same time, and the whole person turned into a lifeless gray-black.
He used all his strength to keep himself alive, and he didn't even succeed in protecting what he wanted to protect.
So, is this the ending Merlin wants to see? Everyone died, and he was the only one left. The man in front of him obtained the blood of the gods...... No, to be precise, it was the glove in his hand that obtained the divine blood. Everything is gray, and chaos takes over everything in Paradise Lost. He believes that the whole world will change as a result.
This ending is really bad.
Merlin's body floated up from the air, and an old bronze bell loomed behind him. His eyes suddenly widened, his golden pupils were soaked in pure black by the power of time, and his interior was full of churning chaos. He turned his head and stretched out his hand, which gently pecked his fingertips on the dial of the clock, and the clockwise hand immediately stopped.
Everything is stuck in the moment, and it doesn't go any further.
Crunch...... Crunch crunch crunch......
A black five-petaled flower was thrown from Merlin's hand and merged into the clock, where the hands were rapidly reversing, and the first petal fell from the disc and disappeared.
Collapse is stopping, wailing is recycling, death is twisting.
Time is going backwards.
Merlin has to go back to the beginning of events and turn the not-so-rosy reality around. He knew that he could be the only key to reversing this tragedy.
He had to succeed.
Merlin came back to his senses, but heard a familiar voice: "If you want to leave, you can talk to my knife now!" I've got seven or eight of these things on me. What I want you to do is to kill all the people who break my rules in the future who will enter this land! Not a single one to stay! If there are any people who have bad intentions against my town, I will kill them all! β
It's the point in time when Merlin and Sheldon have just arrived in Paradise Lost.
