Chapter 157: The God of Sleep
The hero with his back to him turned slowly, and it was a young man about his age, with brown skin, pronounced muscles, and the most striking thing was his eyes.
It was a dragon-like vertical pupil.
"There's not much power left on Gulam, remember, you only have one chance."
Heilang was a little pleased, "You approve of me?" ”
"It's Gulam who approves of you." The man muttered softly.
"In this world, nothing lasts forever.
Even the holy sword of the dragon slayer will be drained by the years.
But the spirit of heroes will come to an end with humanity.
Go and do what you want to do."
Hei Lang's consciousness quickly regained his consciousness, and although he had just been in that illusory world for a long time, the real world had actually only passed for a moment.
It was also at this moment that he felt the chill behind him that enveloped him.
Although he didn't see the situation behind him, he almost didn't hesitate to pull out the long sword that was entwined by Fujiman, and then blocked behind him.
"Zheng~"
Although it had been sleeping in this realm for nearly a thousand years, the blade still made a sharp clangling sound.
The dragon's claws struck the blade, sparks flying everywhere.
And this collision did not knock Hei Lang directly away, but the two sides fought into a tie and stalemate with each other.
The group of Assassins watching the battle from a distance widened their eyes slightly.
Hei Lang was also a little stunned at the moment, he felt a steady stream of power welling up in his body, helping him to resist the power of this giant dragon.
But he didn't hesitate, he remembered the man's admonition in the illusion, and moved a distance to the right as if he were instantaneous, out of the stalemate.
And Ghulam also lit up with the brilliance of magic power the moment his right foot fell, and the sword body was shrouded in azure magical light, and the entire sword turned into a two-meter-long giant sword of light.
His left foot stepped out at the same time, aiming at the dragon's chest and stabbing at it.
You only get one chance.
He held his breath, his whole body focused on the dragon's chest.
He even felt like the passage of time had slowed down around him.
The wound on Zara's body that had just been slashed by Char with a sword had healed.
Not only is the dragon's defense strong, but its resilience is still terrifying.
However, if it is impaled by Ghulam, who has once slain dragons, then the situation is different.
Zara and the Nightmare Order behind him were the driving force behind this war, and one of the reasons why this era is what it is today.
Killing him may not immediately change the times.
But his death will ring the first death knell for this era......
There was no hatred in Heilang's eyes, no murderous intent, only no hesitating will.
Because of this, his movements are clean, neat, and there is nothing superfluous.
Zara was clearly not going to let the sword stab him, and he tried to flap his wings to dodge, but the next moment, he suddenly saw a pair of eyes.
A pair of night skies that seem to be starless and moonless, vast and deep, eyes that can't see the boundaries clearly.
At that moment, he was horrified to find that he couldn't move, although it was only for a moment, but for Hei Lang's speed at the moment, it was almost fatal!
Flutter~
Zara's eyes widened violently, and the huge bundles of pupils contracted violently.
Then the sound of the sword blade entering the flesh, countless scorching blood gushed out from his chest, and directly spilled on Heilang's body, staining him into a bloody man.
Zara looked incredulously at Ghulam, who had stabbed into her chest, and at Heilang, who was holding the sword.
It seems that he can't believe that after gaining such power, he will be killed by humans.
However, he felt that the strength in his body was rapidly fading, and his life was passing.
The sword pierced his heart.
Heilang has an eagle eye, so he can target his weaknesses in the first place.
"No, no."
Zara staggered back a few steps, Ghulam still on top of him, and Heilang slumped limp, unconscious.
"You can't kill me, you can't kill me!!"
Zara's trembling voice resounded throughout the treasury, but then he fell to the ground weakly, his breath getting weaker and weaker.
Char didn't know when she appeared in front of him, just looking at him quietly.
His vertical pupils stared at Char and made a sound like an engine.
"You know, what's behind me?
You kill me, and no one here can escape. ”
However, to his astonishment, Char's face did not show any fear, and he didn't seem surprised, but spoke out slowly.
"Why do you think, I don't know?"
These were the last words Zara heard before she lost consciousness completely
As he lost consciousness, a black cloud of smoke poured out of the dragon's body under the gaze of the people, and flew straight towards Heilang, trying to burrow into his body.
But no matter how hard the black fog tried, it couldn't get in.
After a few moments, the black mist gradually condensed into the outline of a human face, but it was too blurry to see the appearance clearly.
The Assassins who were watching all around had apparently seen the shadow as well, and they had no idea what was happening.
Soon, though, they remembered what the dragon had said before he died.
Behind him, there is another existence.
He said that none of the people here could escape
Aware of this, their breathing was a little stagnant and their bodies were a little tense.
This is completely beyond their understanding and processing.
At this moment, they can only pin their hopes on the mysterious person who suddenly appeared.
Their mentor's mentor's body is up.
The dark shadow's gaze searched all around, and Zara's face also emerged from the mist, and his gaze was directly locked on Char.
The shadow followed his gaze to Char, who looked him up and down, but did not speak.
Char was the first to speak.
"I'm sorry, but I also have some dream powers."
He wasn't surprised by the appearance of this dark shadow.
In other words, when the nightmare that occupied the body of the Marquis of Oss appeared, he guessed that behind this mysterious organization, there might be another force in the underworld.
After Isabel fell into a long sleep, he was even more sure of this speculation.
That power originated from Thanatos' younger brother, the god of sleep, Hypnos.
It didn't seem strange that the leader of the Nightmare Order would have some hands on him.
This is also the reason why Char asked Heilang to kill Zara.
This will keep him from being in a passive position, in a counter-position.
In other words, this war, the witch hunt, is actually indirectly related to Him.
However, Char had not yet figured out what he was doing all this for.
"Who are you?" He spoke up.
The voice was very deep, like the sound of a transformer turned on.
"A passing tavernkeeper." Char said.
The dark shadow stared at Char, as if trying to engrave his imprint in his mind.
"I remember you, human."
Char's eyelids are slightly retracted.
"It looks like you didn't receive your brother's warning."
The dark shadow's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at Char.
"Who the hell are you?"
On the day Char defeated the fire demon, Isabel's body was also cursed.
At that time, Semele saw the source of the curse and informed the two Grim Reapers to alert Thanatos.
Although Char is not the kind of person who is too self-conscious, in terms of rational thinking, with the degree of jealousy of himself like Thanatos, he will warn his younger brother at least.
Judging by this guy's reaction, it should be true
But He doesn't mean to be restrained.
"Go back and ask your brother." Char said, "He will tell you." ”
"It's just"
He pointed to Zara in the mist, which was his soul.
"He, you have to stay."
The face in the fog stared at Char, silent, without saying a word.
Zara smiled disdainfully, "Who do you think?" If you want me to stay, you can stay? ”
However, as his words fell, he felt his body lighten and he was thrown out of the thick fog.
He looked at Zara in astonishment, "My lord? ”
The shadow didn't speak, but slowly disappeared in front of them.
What is in front of you is just a projection of that existential power.
Beings like them cannot easily come to this world.
Even the original Grim Reaper was the present world that came after dividing the power.
And that power is naturally the key given to Char.
The power in front of you is mostly the power of dreams.
But unfortunately, Char has half of the Nightmare bloodline, which may not be as good as the Sleeping God, but it is still easy to deal with this part of the power.
He knew that even if He didn't leave him, He wouldn't be able to keep him.
But Zara obviously didn't know, and after realizing that he had been abandoned, he looked at Char with a little more despair and horror in his eyes.
And Char obviously didn't pay attention to what he meant, but raised his hand and put him away directly.
His fate should be chaotic at the moment, because he intervened, so the Grim Reaper did not rush over.
When the time comes, just hand over this soul to Semer to deal with.
He'll give him what he deserves.
"Boom~"
As the black mist dissipated, the entire underground space began to shake violently.
Large stones fell from above, the lenses that refracted sunlight were shattered, and the entire interior of the space was plunged into absolute darkness.
Although it is reasonable for this nearly 1,000-year-old ruin to collapse because of the battle just now, it is also too coincidental that this kind of collapse occurred.
Char complained in his heart.
The collapse is not terrible, it is the collapse that falls into absolute darkness, you know that there is danger all around, but you don't know where to go, you can only wait for death in despair in place.
So, shrill screams and cries of terror were muffled by the roar of the collapse of the basement.
He looked at Cage, who was not far away in the darkness, bewildered.
Obviously, this was the influence of his fate.
In the vast majority of treasure hunt movies, the protagonist does not actually get the treasure, because the place where the treasure is found is bound to collapse and be buried.
Some of the better endings are that the protagonist takes out some of the treasures he took away from those ruins at the end.
Although he was slandered in his heart, Char would not sit idly by and watch them all die here.
He turned into a thick fog and took Hei Lang lying on the ground, and by the way, he took the Assassins and Cage out of the place, placing them on the cliff of Lorelei.
At this moment, the sun outside has gradually set, and the afterglow of the setting sun hangs on the white clouds.
The Assassins were all terrified, their bodies covered in dust from the collapse of the caverns, some of them stoned, some of them bleeding from their heads.
Cage also came back to his senses and looked at Char, compared to the embarrassment of the people around him, Char looked out of place, his hair and clothes were always spotless, even after the battle just now.
Hei Lang's sister Hua Sha reacted and ran to Hei Lang's side excitedly.
"Brother! Brother! ”
She looked at Hei Lang, who was covered in blood on the ground, and kept calling him, wiping her tears.
With Hua Sha's call, Hei Lang's eyelids moved, and then he slowly opened his eyes, and the first thing that caught his eye was Hua Sha, who was crying with tears on his face.
"Huasha."
However, instead of seeing joy in Hua Sha's face, he saw his eyes and mouth slightly wide.
"Brother you. Your eyes. ”
"What's wrong with my eyes?" Hei Lang said with some confusion.
The rest of the Assassins also gathered around at this moment, and said with a little surprise.
"Mentor, your eyes are different.
Some resemble the dragon's eyes. ”
At this moment, the dark eyes have turned into vertical pupils like dragons.
Heilang's vertical pupils shrank slightly.
Immediately, the eyes of Siegfried that he had seen in the illusion came to his mind.
Cage walked over to one side and looked closely at the dark eyes, and he muttered softly.
"Legend has it that after Siegfried killed the evil dragon Fafnir, he bathed in dragon blood, and after that, he was invulnerable and able to communicate with birds and beasts.
You also slain the dragon and bathed in the dragon's blood.
Probably not."
Hei Lang also seemed to realize something, and he directly flicked his Hidden Blade, trying to slash lightly on his right hand.
However, not only did he not see any blood, not even white marks, and he did not feel any pain, as if someone had brushed his fingers lightly.
"Mentor!" Hoover came to his senses and shouted with joy, "You're invulnerable." ”
Hei Lang didn't speak, he looked at Char on one side.
He didn't think Char had no way to deal with the dragon, he could even use a clone to fight the dragon back and forth, and he could easily break through its defenses with swordsmanship.
He just deliberately gave him this opportunity.
"In this world, everything follows the principle of equivalent exchange.
All the gifts of fate are also secretly marked with a price code. ”
Char watched Hei Lang speak slowly.
"There's a spot on your back that isn't covered in dragon's blood.
So, your back will be your Achilles wound and you will be aware of it in the future. ”
Hei Lang nodded, taking the words to heart.
"Your legend begins today.
Hopefully, you'll make it all the way to the end......"
Char smiled, "Well, let's see you soon." ”
With that, he prepared to leave the place.
"Wait!" Cage couldn't help but shout, "I have a lot to ask you." ”
"Let's talk about it later, anyway, my tavern has always been there, hasn't it?
The next time you come, remember to bring enough money for alcohol. Char said.
Cage didn't say anything more, he nodded, "Goodbye." ”
Then, under the gaze of the people, Char slowly disappeared in front of their eyes.
