Chapter 44 Caesar and Hughes
The grimace shattered, but the flames did not disappear. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
All the scattered flames fell straight down like a waterfall, and re-coalesced on his face with the movement of the flame rat wiping his face with one hand.
A smaller, but more terrifying, grimace mask was put on the face of the Flame Rat.
"You should feel honored because you were the first to see this gesture of mine. The flame rat's voice came through the mask, and his original voice was no longer audible, it was completely hellish like a ghost, with a strong sense of metal friction.
"A hundred years ago, the Commander deliberately let me not have to go to war, precisely because at that time I initially understood the mystery of the orange flame ghost face. "For the past hundred years, the first disciple has been in retreat, and the second disciple has ...... Zibing's woman is in charge, and the fourth disciple is a temperless waste, completely following Zibing's woman's wishes. And I, I've been perfecting this mask. ”
"I ...... Hates Zibing, she relies on her most favored by the commander, and never takes us senior brothers in her eyes. This orange flame ghost face was originally the last killer weapon I kept in order to defeat Zi Bing and pull the strongest of my disciples off the throne. ”
"Now, I'll let you see it in advance!"
The voice of the flame rat came from all directions, because as he spoke, he never stopped moving, running around Caesar at great speed.
If anyone else is present, you can see more and more remnants of the flame rat appearing in the space around Caesar.
To be honest, the description of running is not accurate, because at this moment, the body of the flame rat is not running linearly in space at all. It's flickering.
From one point. Flashing to another point.
Disappear from a space. Then it appears out of thin air in another space.
Wearing that mask, he didn't have the knife in his hand, but it seemed that his whole person had turned into a blade, and he could shuttle through space at will like the blade of the orange flame ghost!
Such a speed has exceeded the imagination of the vast majority of people in the world. Who would have thought that the ability of a battle mage would be able to travel through space at will and repeatedly with a fragile body?
"But let's be honest. I'm not interested in your feud with Zi Bing. Caesar stood in the center of countless afterimages and said, "So if you're going to fight, hurry up, okay?"
"Hubris!!"
In the midst of the roar, the figure of the flame rat appeared behind Caesar's back, and slammed his jab into Caesar's vest.
The fist sank into space halfway through, piercing the right side of Caesar's cheek.
Then the fists shuttled again, and finally came from the front!
In this way, the body and arms of the flame rat are behind Caesar, and one wrist is on Caesar's side. The fist was directly in front of Caesar's face, unspeakably strange.
"At this rate. What can you do, little ghost?Even if you defend and block, I can still let my attacks continue to travel through space, appearing from angles you don't expect at all!" Flame Rat shouted viciously, "Now my fist, with the extreme speed bonus, has also increased its destructive power to a new level!"
Indeed, as he had said, Caesar could feel the destructive power contained in the rapidly enlarged fist in front of him.
But Caesar didn't make any blocking moves as the other party expected.
He just stood.
The fist fell, and the helmet part of the gray armor automatically appeared, blocking it steadily. The flame rat snorted coldly, his body flashed again, this time he punched out his fists and feet, a set of extremely complex physical techniques combined with the ability of the orange flame ghost face to shuttle through the space, and for a while, countless attacks came from all directions at the same time, and he beckoned to Caesar.
A high-pitched screech resounded in the hall, the grinding of air and energy from the super-high-speed attack.
Such explosive attacks come and go quickly.
When the figure of the flame rat reappeared, the remnants of the fists and feet in the sky remained for a moment before dissipating little by little. The flame rat gasped violently, staring in Caesar's direction, his eyes shining with colorful light, wanting to see if Caesar had been completely defeated under the attack just now.
With a slight cracking sound, the flame grimace on his face shattered a small half, even if the deity performed such a move, it would be difficult to perform, let alone a projection clone.
At this time, all the remnants of the fists and feet dissipated, and then the small half of the face exposed by the flame rat, as well as the eyes in the mask eye, appeared completely sluggish and incredulous.
Caesar's boyish figure is no longer there.
In its place, there was a dark gray suit of armor. It is no longer a partial part, but a complete armor, worn on Caesar's body, presented in front of the eyes of the flame rat!
The armor was covered with a faint halo that gave a strange life to the gray dull material.
The armor is not static, the armor leaves move slightly, as if with the breath of the person in the armor, this armor is also breathing synchronously, breathing together.
"You...... Who the hell is it?" the flame rat mask had completely shattered, and his voice was so dry and hoarse that it looked like he hadn't drunk water in a month.
Who are you?
This is the third time the flame rat has asked this question.
He didn't expect, let alone understand, that under his own attack, Caesar would take it so unscathed, who was this young man, and what the hell was the armor on his body?
"Answer me, who are you? ...... You're definitely not a Wind Thunder Mage, and there won't be an unreasonable existence like you in the Wind Thunder Mage. What is your purpose, where are you from, and why are you meddling in our war with the Wind and Thunder Empire?Answer me!!" Flame Rat shouted hysterically.
"To be honest, I have a lot of doubts myself, so I'm sorry I can't answer your questions. Caesar's voice came through the armor and sighed, "That's why I'm going to get the completeness and return that you battle mages dream of, and my intuition tells me that these two things may give me the answer." ”
Caesar said, raising his fist again.
The flame rat seemed to want to say something, but finally he closed his mouth and his face became resolute. There's no need to talk nonsense anymore, it's just war.
The Flame Rat once again put on the Orange Flame Ghost Face. Without saying a word. Met Caesar in battle armor.
Boom -
The barrier spreads. The thing that covered Long Qiqi and the others no longer existed, and the energy in the hall surged to form a storm, and Caesar stood in the storm, his eyes a little helpless.
"Although I won, I will eventually be exposed, my identity. He thought to himself.
At Caesar's age, he defeated a disciple, even if it was only a projection of the disciple. Speaking out is also a big event that shakes the world. But Caesar did not want to reveal the secrets of the gray armor.
At least, not now.
But when the barrier dissipated, and Caesar was ready to be seen by his companions in the gray armor that he had not had time to take off, he froze.
Long Qiqi, pitiful, cheating father, spare tire--the companions were all lying on the white jade ground, their expressions were calm, as if they had slept peacefully, and their breath was very stable.
Hughes stood aside, staring at Caesar in gray armor, his eyes that never showed any emotion. It seems to contain a myriad of meanings.
"You...... What did you do?" asked Caesar dumbfounded.
"Nothing, feeling like you probably don't want to expose it too soon. So let them sleep for a while. Hughes spoke in a tone of course, with thrilling words.
Caesar's body and face were obscured by armor, and Hughes had no reason to recognize him, unless...... He knew about it by the beginning, and he knew it all along.
"But there's a problem to deal with besides them. Hughes turned his head to look at the faint breath of the flame rat.
The Flame Rat had given up, knowing that his mission had failed and that he could not take the return and integrity from Caesar's hands.
But at this moment, he was not very depressed, but looked at Caesar coldly and said, "Your identity, your strength, and your existence, I will tell the Lord Commander everything." It won't be long before the Lordship...... I will go to you personally, and when the time comes, all your secrets will cease to exist, and your life will come to an end. ”
Caesar was silent.
He knew that he could defeat the projection in front of him, and even even the original figure that injured the flame rat, but he couldn't actually kill it, so he couldn't stop the other party from revealing his secret.
"Unfortunately, you can't. Hughes's voice sounded faintly, and the person had quietly come to the projection clone of the flame rat, his face cold.
Then, under the surprised gaze of Caesar and the flame rat, Hughes suddenly grabbed the flame rat's hand, took the initiative to put his chest up, and let the other party's palm insert into his chest!
"You...... What are you ...... doing?" asked the Flame Rat dumbfoundedly.
He felt that he was unlucky today, he was threatened, beaten violently, failed in his mission, met such an unreasonable existence as Caesar, and now he has to add Hughes, an inexplicable pervert!
"Have you forgotten? You swore that you must not hurt me, Caesar's companion. Blood slowly welled up in Hughes's mouth, but the corners of his lips curled slightly, smiling.
The power of the Blood Curse Oath was quietly activated, and the face of the projection clone in front of Hughes changed wildly, as if he wanted to say something, but it flickered a few times and burst like a bubble.
At the same time, the flame rat deity in the black chanting battle, thousands of miles away, spurted a large column of blood from its mouth, staining the walls and ceiling of the secret room red.
He struggled for a moment, as if trying to leave some clues, but in the end, his eyes went black, and he fell straight up.
He would not die, but Caesar's blow and Hughes's last straw that broke the camel's back made it impossible for him to wake up for a long time.
The third layer of the dragon road.
Hughes breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes became a little distracted, he really used all his strength to make the flame rat hit himself hard, in order to achieve the maximum effect of the power of the oath.
He staggered, his arms waving in the air, as if trying to grab something, but only the air, and then fell backwards.
Caesar held him up, thought for a long time, but didn't know what to say or what to ask, and finally asked in a daze, "Who are you? What is the relationship between you and me?"
Hughes didn't know his secrets for a reason, but he did. Caesar couldn't figure it out, unless the other party had some kind of very close connection with him.
"I probably ...... It's someone close to you. Hughes smiled, a little helpless, "Although I don't know where I am close." ”
"Will you die?" asked Caesar, his eyes a little red, and he asked in a sinister voice.
He knew that the reason why Hughes did this was only to prevent the flame rat from revealing his secrets, in which case, he was afraid that he would be immediately pushed into the limelight.
Being targeted by the battle commander is not a weight that Caesar can bear today.
But what is this for? I don't know much about Hughes, and I don't even have much interaction, so I can't be considered a friend in the strict sense!
"Dead ...... Probably not, but I guess I'll get a good night's sleep. Hughes actually made a joke at this point, "Of course, if you don't take the whole of us out of this place that is about to collapse, I'm really going to die." ”
"Of course I'll take you all out. When Caesar heard that Hughes would not die, he finally felt better, and reluctantly smiled and said, "Then when you wake up, tell me everything you know, I really have a lot of doubts......
Caesar didn't say any more, for Hughes had slowly closed his eyes.
The ceiling of the temple began to crumble, and the shattered stone slabs fell.
The collapse trend of the Dragon Road is finally irreversible, looking at it like this, I am afraid that it will not take ten minutes, and the mysterious place of the Dragon Road, which has existed for a hundred years, will disappear forever.
In the apocalyptic scene, Caesar, who had taken off his gray armor, hugged the black-clothed boy who was sleeping quietly, and the figures of the two seemed to be connected. (To be continued.) )
