The flame monster kept throwing red fireballs as it chased, causing craters to appear on the ground, and Lumien was knocked over several times in a row.

A lot of wood was set on fire in the surrounding ruins, and red flames flickered everywhere.

Unable to deal with the flames that were still burning his clothes, Lumian endured the unspeakable pain, and was swept away again and again by the shock wave of the explosion, and then stood up again and again, and ran irregularly towards his destination, sometimes left and right, sometimes arcing, sometimes straight line.

Luckily, the next location he had planned wasn't far away, and just as he felt a mouthful of blood spurting out and his body about to fall apart, the crumbling building appeared in front of him.

Bang!

Lumian forced himself to turn around and avoid a ball of fire, and the crimson thing exploded not far in front of him, sending off a ferocious wave of flames.

Lumien fell to the ground, dodging the most violent damage, and used his strength to roll into the house in front of him, which had not yet completely collapsed.

The flame monster stopped, not rushing into the place where the deadly trap might be hidden.

He looked at Lumian as he rolled inside the house, and red fire ravens condensed around him.

The fire ravens roared and flew out, half smashing into the building's supports, half throwing at Lumian's back from all sides.

They seem to be able to lock onto their targets, but none of them deviate, and constantly adjust their trajectory according to Lumian's position.

At this moment, the flame monster seemed to be able to see the enemy being blown to charred corpses.

The fire crow colony is not as easy to dodge as a fireball in your hand!

Suddenly, Lumian's figure disappeared into the eyes of the flame monster.

He rolled into the desolately well-preserved basement.

Bang!

Lumian eagerly slammed the wooden entrance door shut, and pounced with the force of the rebound.

Whoosh, the crimson fire crows slammed into the door.

Bang!

The heavy wooden door was blown apart, and every piece was set on fire.

Thundered!

The other half of the fire ravens all hit their intended target, and the crumbling house completely collapsed.

Stones, wood, dust, and all sorts of debris flooded the place, burying the basement tightly.

Lumian had already ducked in a corner, leaning on the dirt heaped here, and by skillful rolling, he extinguished the flames on his body.

But even so, he still had multiple burns, and his internal organs seemed to be displaced, and if he did not receive timely treatment, he might not survive for a day.

The attack ability of the fire monster is similar to that of the burst

It's even stronger than Ryan who didn't use "Storm of Light"!

Lumian originally hoped to get rid of the flame monster by "stealth", sneak into this basement, dance out of the mysterious sacrificial dance, half-activate the black thorn symbol on his chest, directly scare the other party, and wait for the "Fallen Mercury" to complete the exchange of fate, but the flames attached to him before made him unable to enter the "stealth" state at all, and he was chased to the point where he almost died.

The only thing that Lumian is glad about now is that he has a plan that he can't get rid of the tracking of the flame monster, and it is difficult to pray with the sacrificial dance with peace of mind.

He even thought about collapsing the house himself and burying the basement to buy time, but he didn't expect the flame monster to help him do it.

Call...... Lumien let out a sigh and sat down cross-legged.

He took out the bottle of gray amber perfume from Aurore, unscrewed the lid, and placed it in front of him.

Outside the completely collapsed house, the gaze of the flame monster pierced through the dust that filled the air, searching for traces of enemies.

It believed that the treacherous creature could not have been buried alive so easily.

With the level of traps he had just shown and his familiarity with this ruin, he must have left a way back for himself!

The flame monster was not very capable of thinking, and relied on the instinct of a "hunter" to go around to the back of the collapsed house.

It searched the place inch by inch, and it only took a dozen seconds to find a hole that was diagonally downward. pack

The entrance to the cave was hidden by the collapsed part of the house, unaffected by the subsequent overall collapse, and was difficult to see at a glance, and the location was quite hidden.

The flame monster raised its right hand, condensing a fist-sized ball of blazing white fireball in the palm of its hand.

It took a sharp step forward, flicked its right arm, and threw the fireball into the channel.

The flames traveled a short distance into the basement and smashed against the opposite wall.

Bang!

The wave of the explosion didn't bother Lumian, who had been hiding in the other corner, but only flipped the bottle of gray amber perfume that had been placed in front of him, causing the entire basement to shake.

A large amount of liquid then flows out of the uncapped bottle, and the elegant and sweet fragrance instantly becomes rich.

Lumian never opened his eyes, sitting intently against the wall.

He's meditating!

He had already sketched the crimson sun in his mind, and it lasted for several seconds.

Soon, Lumien heard a terrifying voice that seemed to come from infinity and was close to his ears.

On his face, on the back of his hands, and on his neck, the cyan veins stood out, and they quickly became red and almost hot.

At the same time, the surface of his skin oozed one silver-black round spot after another.

Lumian opened his mouth, but failed to scream, and the whole person fell down, curled up.

The "Fallen Mercury" was detached from his left palm, but he didn't dare to do anything, he didn't dare to actively bounce at the unclothed face and right hand, trying to make a puppet by contact.

It just trembled there, trembling violently.

Outside the basement, the entrance dug out by Lumian

Beside him, the monster that was about to condense the fireball froze suddenly.

It shuddered uncontrollably.

After a few seconds, it ran away and gave up the hunt.

Lumien was plunged into darkness with countless flickering fires, and his mind was filled with extreme pain and evil thoughts.

At this moment, he had the feeling that it was worse than dying and felt that something in the depths of his soul was growing rapidly, taking shape little by little.

It was as if the shadow of all the negative personalities mixed with some kind of will, once put together in human form, would completely replace the original owner.

In the darkness with no end in sight but despair and pain, Lumian suddenly smelled a fragrance:

Elegant, sweet.

That's the taste of Aurel, the smell of all the time.

Aurel ......... Sister...... Lumian gradually regained a little of his thoughts, and seemed to hear the light and soothing melody in his ears again.

"I want to live!"

"The cycle hasn't been lifted yet!"

The thoughts quickly returned, and Lumian finally overcame the dark will and the darkness full of pain in the depths of his heart, and opened his eyes.

The first thing that caught his eye was the bottle of gray amber perfume that had fallen to the ground.

Poured? Lumi poked out her right hand in pain.

He had only wanted to imitate Auror's use of incense to curb signs of loss of control, and to wake himself up with the natural smell of perfume, but the bottle of liquid poured out most of it at once.

In the next second, he felt the trembling of his body, saw the scorched black and blood stains on the back of his hand, and saw the silver-black round spots that had not completely disappeared.

Without being reminded, Lumian himself could "smell" an unfamiliar, creepy smell on his body.

Now if he encounters Valentine, he doesn't need to deliberately show anything, and he will be directly "purified" by the other party's summoning of holy light.

Lumian picked up the remaining half of the gray amber perfume, closed the bottle, and put it away.

He then picked up the "falling mercury" that was still trembling violently, and asked in Hermes:

"Is the fate exchange over?"

"Fallen Mercury" immediately moved left and right, indicating that it was not yet.

Lumian breathed a sigh of relief.

He was afraid that when he woke up, his fate had been exchanged, and the state of shock would last at most a minute.

In that case, if he hadn't found the flame monster in time, the pain and suffering he had just suffered would be meaningless.

Exhale, inhale...... Lumian adjusted to his very bad state, mustered up his strength, and crawled out of the basement through the hole he had dug in advance.

Every time he made a movement, he would pull on different wounds, and he couldn't help grinning at the pain so much that he couldn't help grinning.

Out of the basement, Lumian sighed to himself while searching for the footprints of the flame monster:

"Meditating when you are not in a good state and fully activating the thorn symbol in your chest is nothing short of suicidal ...

"That is, since I became a hunter, I haven't done this again, so I can barely suppress the signs of loss of control with the scent of gray amber, but a few times before, my body has been slightly alienated, and now I have become a monster...

"For a long time after that, you can't do this again unless you want to die......"

He chose to meditatively fully activate the black thorn symbol on his chest instead of semi-activating it by dancing the sacrificial dance, because the situation was urgent and he simply did not have time to complete the dance.

Relying on meditation, it would take him at most five or six seconds to scare away the flame monsters, and that mysterious sacrificial dance took thirty or forty seconds, and this was when Lumian was already proficient.

In Lumian's hunting plan, this is the last plan: try meditating when you can't get away with the fire monsters by any other means!

Lumian just didn't expect that he was seriously injured in the first place, and almost lost control in meditation

Thing.

It didn't take long for Lumian to find the footprints left by the flame monster and chased after them.

After a few minutes, he saw that the footprints were fresh, and he slowed down.

After a few more moments, the "Fallen Mercury" vibrated on its own and told Lumian that he had exchanged his fate.

Lumian didn't hesitate any longer, pulled out the iron-black axe with his backhand, and rushed forward along the footprints of the flame monster. 1 IV

In less than twenty seconds, he saw the blackened and flaming prey.

It was crawling in a corner surrounded by stones, shivering.

Lumian ran over, dropped the "Fallen Mercury", grasped the axe in both hands, and chopped it down with all his strength.

In a dull voice, the head and body of the flame monster that did not resist separated.

Streams of bright red blood spurted out violently,

The ground turned into clusters of red fire.

Plopped, Lumian could no longer hold on, and fell to the ground with his axe.
