Chapter 59: The Turning Point
Caught off guard, Dio slid all the way down nearly five or six meters before grabbing a bulge on a stone wall, stabilizing his body, and then immediately climbed up as fast as he could, and returned to the platform in a few clicks, ready to attack.
But the blow he expected didn't come, and the white-haired wolfwolf in his sight had turned and ran towards the other side, leaving him with a much smaller back.
"Oops!"
Dio immediately understood its purpose - after no hope of killing Dio for a short period of time, it immediately changed its goal and decided to attack the other weaker ones first.
Dio, who understood the purpose of the wolf monster, instantly began to change, from a power-type swelling appearance to a streamlined type more suitable for speed needs, and then he ran after the wolf monster, and even adopted the four-legged way of a beast in order to speed faster, and in an instant, the wind that hit him whistled through both sides of his body, blowing his hair back, bringing out afterimages in the air, constantly narrowing the distance between the two sides.
Although he had tried as fast as he could, he was still one step too late, and the white-haired wolf monster still caught up with the fleeing students one step ahead of him, but instead of directly attacking the three girls who stopped behind him to make a defensive stance, it aimed at Pomero who was running in front.
In Dior's sight, the white-haired wolf monster did not mean to kill the students directly, it first overtook Pomorro from the top of the passage and landed on the ground, stopping at the front of the students' escape route, and then grinning like a mocking mouth, opening its arms, and grabbing Pomorro like a cat playing mouse. Without seeing Pomorro's facial expression, Dior could imagine how frightened he would be, but he was also relieved in his heart, as long as the target was not Lilia, it didn't matter to the others, anyway, as long as he dragged him out, he could arrive, as for what Pomorro would be regarded as a target, it was no longer in his consideration, and if necessary, Anatis and Melissa he could also give up.
But at this time, the white-haired wolf monster's outstretched claws suddenly waved out of thin air, opening a silver light that shot at it, and the silver light hit the stone wall on the side and bounced to the ground, revealing its original face, which turned out to be a dagger, and it was the one that Dio had given to Lilia before. At this time, his courageous sister had already taken advantage of the situation, holding a pistol close to the wolf monster and firing repeatedly, although it could not seriously injure the other party, but it was also able to stop a little and buy some time.
But at this moment, something that no one expected happened-Pomorro actually pushed Lilia who came to his side towards the white-haired wolf, and he took advantage of the moment when the white-haired wolfmonster grabbed Lilia and quickly bypassed the wolf, and continued to run to the exit not far away.
"Pomorro!"
Dio yelled and lunged, his eyes red, I don't know if it was anger or something else, but he didn't care about Pomorro right now.
Then he saw the white-haired wolf-monster recover from a moment of astonishment, and looked at Dio, who was hurrying towards him, grinning as if he had a sarcastic expression, and then he dragged Lilia in the other direction of the passage.
With such a turn, Lilia, who was like a rag doll in its hands, was facing Dio, and in his sister's eyes, he clearly saw the residual stunned and a strange affection.
Dio knew very well what that affection meant, and on that night of rebirth, in the moment of despair, he himself had shown such a look, which was the hope for life and the future, a trace so strong that it could not be erased as soon as he saw it.
"Brother, where are you? I'm so scared......
In Dio's eyes, Lilia, who was dragged away by the monster, seemed to be with the crying little girl, both so helpless and weak, but she was about to become like the corpses she had met in the passage before and was torn apart and devoured by this monster, and finally turned into a pile of minced meat that couldn't be put together, and Belindeon's expression before she died, how similar it was to Lilia now!
I don't want that!
Dio roared silently in his heart.
You owe me yet, and so do I owe you, and until all this is settled, I will use it no matter what, and I will let you live no matter what, and even if you want to die, you should die at my hands!
The blood flowed through his body at high speed, and under his emotional anger, it was even more out of control, like a derailed train, not only his own blood, but also the blood from this monster, all mixed together and circulated in every corner of his body, and then there was a very strange change under the effect of his fighting spirit inspired by his emotions.
Everything around him slowed down, the air around him seemed to be viscous like glue, his every move seemed to happen in the water, forming a circle of ripples around him and spreading outward, and the ripples collided with other objects and formed new ripples to start a new round of agitation, and then collided and propagated, endlessly, as if the world he was in was occupied by this ripple.
He suddenly found that if he followed certain ripples, his body would be extremely light, and once he went backwards, then every step would encounter great resistance, requiring great force, and his body would even seem to be torn apart, a wonderful phenomenon that he had never seen before.
His body instinctively began to change according to his discovery, or it can be said to be a new evolution, his speed became faster and faster under this evolution, and later he could even step on the wall to walk, and the person rushed forward more than ten meters in one step, and the speed was completely out of the limit of normal people's dynamic visual capture ability.
It's coming!
Under this sudden burst of power, the distance between Dior and the white-haired wolf monster became closer and closer, and they were about to catch each other, but at this moment, the white-haired wolf monster suddenly turned its head and cast a mocking look at him, and then it turned its head and bit Lilia, and wanted to tear Lilia apart directly in front of Dior!
"No!"
......
At the moment when she involuntarily staggered towards the white-haired wolf monster with a strong push behind her, her mind suddenly became blank, and all the strength in her body disappeared at once.
She knew she was going to die.
It was only at this time that she realized that she was not as strong and brave as she imagined, and she would be afraid and timid in the face of death like ordinary people, and she couldn't face it calmly, and even gave up struggling in the end.
Time seems to go very long, and it seems to be very short, and in a moment she reviewed her short past, only to find that there are still too many regrets that have not been able to make up, too many ideals have not been realized. She wasn't reconciled, but so what? There was nothing she could do about this horrible monster.
It's so silky, it's as comfortable as a velvet futon, so it won't be too painful when you die.
This thought popped into her mind inexplicably.
At this moment, she saw his brother, who was still the one who took up most of his original impression although she was impressed by many recent events, and he was rushing towards her desperately to save him.
Everything seems to be frozen in this moment.
At this time, Dior's face was already distorted by anger, his eyes were red, and he looked like a demon king from hell, but in Lilia's eyes, the image of this brother was unprecedentedly familiar and unfamiliar, and at the same time gave her infinite warmth, as if she had obtained something that she had longed for since childhood but never had.
There are still people who haven't given up on me! There are still people who need me!
Lilia suddenly felt an indescribable power surging in her heart, and in an instant, the strength of her whole body returned, and her brain was spinning at high speed again.
I'm going to survive!
That's the only thing she thinks right now.
Her gaze quickly swept over every possible use, hoping to find the key to getting her out of trouble.
Suddenly, her gaze fixed on a remnant of red cloth beneath her white hair, a fabric and cut she recognized, which she had seen more than once in the fancy clothing stores.
It was the most popular style of court evening dress for aristocrats in the old days.
In an instant, countless fragments of memories came to her mind, the clearest of which was the contents of the diary and the events that Bellendeen had told her when she was alive.
“...... It was a terrible woman in a mask and a bright red court evening dress...... ...... like a beast"
Red...... Court Evening ...... Beast...... Amnesia...... There are fewer people...... Go to bed...... And the names on the diary.
The many clues are connected by a silk thread like pearls, and the answers are about to come to the fore. But at this moment, the wolf monster had already bitten her, and at the last moment between life and death, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she immediately shouted loudly.
"Versailles! Van Serles L. Kerst Mannheim!"
After shouting, she closed her eyes and waited for her final fate.
One second, two seconds......
The pain didn't come, she opened her eyes carefully, and what she saw was the wolf monster that seemed to be frozen in the state it was in when it bit her, and the crimson eyes of the beast faintly shone with a luster of doubt.
Then she saw Dio rush at him, grab the wolf's arm and knock it away, and she was let go, fell to the ground, and immediately rolled to the side alertly.
......
At the moment when Dio felt desperate, he suddenly heard his sister's shout, and then the monster miraculously stopped and did not continue to bite.
Seeing this, he was overjoyed, but his feet were not slow at all, and after a while, he rushed behind the wolf monster, raised his fists with both hands, and smashed down hard!
The white-haired wolf monster or Versailles suddenly roared wildly, and the red light in its eyes suddenly solidified again, but the arm that controlled Lilia had been involuntarily smashed open by Dio's hard blow, even with the solidity of its bones, it couldn't help but make a gurgling sound, and then it was held by Dio and thrown to the side, and there was no way to care about Lilia who escaped.
