112. Playing with fire and self-immolation
"It's useless, it's useless...... Your weak attack, in the face of the strength of my great Lord, is nothing more than a fist!"
Looking at the Grim Reaper's triumphant appearance, Io couldn't help but hate itchy - it had taken her a lot of effort to break up half of the Grim Reaper's body before, but in the blink of an eye, the injuries that should have been completely annihilated in her attack were intact again.
"Sure enough, in this hellish place full of clocks, nothing special is impossible, right?"
Io, the means of death, knows very well that in the case of such an obvious scene prompt, as long as the brain is not too stupid, he can think that its strange recovery ability is related to time, right? It seems that it uses an ability similar to the nature of "time rewind", probably because it itself has no talent for manipulating time, relying on the geographical advantage, it can only make its own time go back to the past...... But then again, just because the Grim Reaper doesn't have a way to play big tricks doesn't mean it's easy to deal with with its superficial ability to manipulate time.
Looking at the Grim Reaper's appearance, it has no idea of hiding this ability at all - it is indeed a tricky skill that can be a little difficult to start.
"The question now is ...... Does this guy have any other skills that work on time......"
The most troublesome aspect of the ability to operate in time is that in the process of operation, except for the caster, if there is no ability of the same nature, it is difficult for ordinary people to interfere with their operation process. That is, once they start working on time. Until the final result is effective, you can only wait and do nothing......
And Io is also on the lookout for any other abilities that can act on time, as it is at the moment. It has shown two abilities, one is to heal itself by going back in time, and the other is the ability that it used to act on Aroma...... It seemed that the target was involved in a taboo time period deep in her heart, and as for whether that world was true or not, Io didn't know. But that should take a little bit of gestation. In this kind of high-intensity combat, Io is not worried that his concentration will fall for this trick.
"I heard that elves seem to live a long life, huh?"
Death suddenly raised his scythe. On the five-meter-long blade, a strange green light shone, and the entire room was instantly shrouded in this layer of ominous green light.
"I don't know what to do. The feeling of life passing by quickly. What does that look like to an elf like you?"
"Oh! this guy is really ......."
At this moment, a huge room no longer seemed to be spacious and empty, and the whistling and booming sound generated by the blade swinging at high speed and cutting through the air reached the entire room—the blade, which was originally only five meters long, had broken through the limit of length and width. Io, who was more than ten meters away, was also shrouded in it!
Can't hide!
Io's instincts told her. She couldn't hide it, and her index and middle fingers immediately picked up a scattered page, and then the emerald green light exploded in front of Io's body—different from the other party's somewhat bleak and gloomy, even oppressive green, this green was full of brilliant vitality.
Two similar, but distinct, greens collided without causing an earth-shattering explosion...... There was no impact or agitation, and the two greens, like two drops of ink in the water, met and fused, and finally dissipated in the air.
However, this was only in the area in front of Io.
In the outer layers, wherever they were affected, the masonry rotted, the metal rusted, and the clocks and watches became broken...... Seeing this scene, Io couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. She had just blocked the attack between the annihilations unscathed, and to be honest, it wasn't very easy.
"It's quite easy to recognize. ”
I always feel that this is the ability that is most compatible with the other party's appearance and identity - as a god of death, he has the ability to make things old and decay, and there is really no sense of disobedience at all.
Despite what he was saying, Io's hands didn't stop at all.
"I don't have the strength to do that alone—please, old man. ”
"You only think of me when you're in trouble...... I haven't seen you for many years, and the little girl has grown so big. ”
The Grim Reaper wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but before the second slash could be used, a somewhat deep female voice suddenly sounded in the empty air. Almost at the same time, most of the slash that had been brewing was interrupted by a sudden lightning strike—unlike lightning in the ordinary sense, the Grim Reaper was horrified to find that this emerald green electric light, after hitting him, was still wrapped around his body like a maggot on his body, constantly burning his magic.
"This is the ...... mana burning"
"Can't I imagine that one day, I will be treated like a Cerberus kind?" the somewhat muffled female voice resounded in the room again, and her words were full of dissatisfaction with the Death Reaper-King for mistaking his race, "Although it seems to be very powerful, after all, he is just a nouveau riche with little knowledge...... It's a bit of a disappointment. ”
Unlike last time, this time, a female voice came from behind you - the Grim Reaper immediately startled you, and was about to attack, but the same thing happened again. Halfway through its attack, a violent lightning strike struck it again. The difference is that this time, it was followed by a blazing dragon breath, which burned most of its body in an instant.
Taking this opportunity, the Grim Reaper also saw this mysterious enemy - it was a dragon that exuded a beautiful colorful dazzling light, unlike other dragon species it had ever seen, the dragon in front of him was simply a little too slender, and it did not have any of the hideous and majestic appearance unique to the dragon race. Even her pair of wings, at first glance, look like butterflies more than dragons.
“...... Fairy Dragon. ”
The Grim Reaper finally understood. The true face of the mysterious enemy who attacked him. In fact, it should have thought of it a long time ago, since the other party was an elf, the helper she had summoned. Naturally, there should be an option called "Fairy Dragon".
The Grim Reaper calmly recovered from his injuries, instinctively wanting to swing his scythe and launch a counterattack, but in the end resisted the urge to fight back - both rumors and actual experience just now told it how unwise it was to attack rashly in front of this mysterious fairy dragon.
"Magical Flame? ”
Legendary. Initiating hostility in front of the fairy dragon would provoke a stormy response, which the Grim Reaper had thought was just a metaphor. Unexpectedly, it seems to be true. At the moment when it wanted to attack, the fairy dragon's counterattack could be said to be impartial and stuck. The scythe attack it had wanted to use earlier was okay. If it's a spell caster like a mage. The consequences of being forcibly attacked and interrupted in the middle of a spell cast are unimaginable. It's no wonder that the elven dragon is called a spellcaster's nightmare.
However, this ability is only tricky for it.
"Is this what you're relying on? It's a big joke to think you're just a fairy dragon and you're going to be able to beat me......"
The Fairy Dragon's Magical Flame is tricky, but it's not a lethal skill. No matter how serious the injuries are, as long as you can't kill yourself. And in this clock tower, no one can kill himself but his own lord!
Here, the self with an immortal body is invincible—— this is the self-confidence of the god of death.
Before, I just stopped because of the fear of the unknown, but if I really want to get serious, the Grim Reaper thinks that a few magical flames can't stop him from launching an attack - and his own attack, if it is hit, is definitely not something that can be endured by gritting his teeth!
With just one click, you can completely kill a life!
"Oh oh, oh, I'm so confident~"
Seeing the Grim Reaper wielding his scythe in spite of the bombardment of the many magical flames, Io couldn't help but smile. And this smile fell into the eyes of the god of death, making it can't help but have a bad premonition in its heart.
Because this smile, which contained it, was utter contempt and mockery—it was disdain for the fool, and when the elf looked at himself, he was looking at a fool who didn't understand anything......
This feeling made the Grim Reaper very uncomfortable.
In this clock tower, he is the Grim Reaper who harvests human life! A Grim Reaper who cannot be killed! A mere elf, who has no ability to hurt himself the whole time, despises himself so much? Although the Grim Reaper is somewhat aware that Io may be calculating himself, he is unwilling to admit that he is afraid—in that case, doesn't it mean that he is also worried that his "invincible self" will be killed?
It's impossible!
Thinking like this, the Grim Reaper gathered all his strength into the next swing - it was a blow with all its might, powerful enough to annihilate all beings in its sight in shattered time!
"I mean, have you ever tried to understand 'time'?"
Ignoring the flame of the fairy dragon's magical power, the slash with all the power of the god of death was indeed extraordinary, and in this attack that was powerful enough to annihilate all the material present, even the fairy dragon had to escape into another dimension - even the fairy dragon, who had the highest level of magic resistance among the dragons, did not dare to guarantee that he could survive this terrible blow.
Everything touched by the green light was reduced to rotten dust, whether it was the masonry that had been paved on the ground, or the elaborate clocks that had been purchased, or the chandelier hanging from the top, or the creaking gears, all of which had now returned to the same form.
"Time is not a tool for killing...... You stupid soul, haven't you noticed?While you're messing with time, retribution has come~"
Io didn't want to escape, or block, she just stood calmly in place, looking at the approaching Grim Reaper with a mocking face.
Is this guy already crazy?
Even before the slash was about to hit Io, the Grim Reaper still thought so.
Then, it never had a chance to change that mind—the consciousness of the Grim Reaper under Io's mocking gaze. Engulfed by chaos...... No more then.
"You're really bad-hearted. ”
The hall was quiet again, but it was close to the empty space, telling of the terrifying force that had just raged. The figure of the fairy dragon also appeared in the air again. After patrolling around several times, she couldn't find even a trace of the remains of the Death God King, and she couldn't help but feel helpless about the Death God's encounter.
That guy was completely deceived by Io.
"It's stupid, and it's no wonder that others ...... Hawkers,The typical appearance of the villain's ambition is just to get a powerful force that I never dared to think of in the past.。 I don't think of myself as a human being—well, its dignity is indeed unhuman. ”
Io waved his hand. It means that the enemy is not worth caring about at all.
"Time is the most taboo power, even if it is a real power, if it is not necessary, it will not play with time at will...... Just his knowledge. I can't find it, and now time has become unstable. is not afraid to manipulate this power indiscriminately, and he deserves to die. If it had been a little more down-to-earth, and hadn't squandered the power of the self-inexplicable principle, it wouldn't have died so much. ”
If you have a plug-in, you must take it out to show off......
The fairy dragon looked at Io's nonchalant appearance, and couldn't help but mourn in silence for the Death Reaper just now—looking at her appearance, she hadn't really taken it seriously, did she? From the beginning, she didn't intend to defeat the Grim Reaper...... Although Io has the strength to do so. However, she chose to let the Grim Reaper die under her own smug attack. Even summoning yourself to come is just to make the play more realistic.
"How do you ...... I always feel. You're a little dark now......"
"It's normal, after all, no matter who it is, it always has to grow up - as for whether it will be 'unlucky' in the process of growing up, it's hard to say. ”
I've heard of this kind of distorted personality many times, anyway, now she's a little unhappy with her people, and I've long felt nothing about this kind of evaluation.
"For the sake of your own bad taste, you tore off the code of laws overnight—wouldn't it be better to use other methods?
Io summoned herself to need the power of the Codex?This kind of words was also used to deceive the cute and natural Death Classmate, and she tore off the page of the Codex, simply to mobilize the time that was now chaotic, so that the water, which was close to the boiling point, would boil completely...... It's a pity that the last bit of "temperature" was added by the Grim Reaper himself, and it didn't live up to Io's expectations, and was drenched by boiling time.
"You don't understand this, do you? Before I summoned you out, a friend who was traveling with me was pulled into the past, and it seemed that it was a time period in her heart that she didn't want to see...... But as I understand it, it's easy for her to get out of the haze deep inside. So, I thought, if I take this opportunity to activate the chaotic time in this area, wouldn't that induce another possibility of coexistence?
"......" The fairy dragon was silent for a while, and looked at Io with disdain, "Actually, this is just what you just thought, right?
"Well, who knows what to do~" Ai Ou pretended to look at the scenery and moved his head.
===============
"I ...... What the hell am I going to do......"
Fang Xiang looked at the petite girl in front of her, holding the baby in her arms and feeling at a loss, and felt an inexplicable emotion in her heart - if she had encountered this situation at the beginning, her future life would definitely be different, right?
Although Fang Xiang doesn't have any regrets about her current life and the trajectory of her life along the way, if she can, she actually looks forward to the fate of "herself" in front of her.
"Are you worried that you won't be able to have a baby without a grandmother?, this is really a trouble......
"That's not the kind of thing!" the girl couldn't help blushing, she was still young, obviously not as cheeky as Fang Xiang is now, but when her eyes stayed on the towering bulge on Fang Xiang's chest, she looked at her chest again...... As a result, nothing was found.
- Lost!
"A lot of things, when you haven't done it yet, you feel very difficult and feel like you don't have the ability to do it at all...... However, as long as you are determined and try to work hard, it is only a matter of time before you get used to it and become proficient. Unless you're not going to raise this child seriously, that's a different story......"
"I, I'll definitely raise Aoife well!"
"Then you will be blessed. ”
Serena's thoughts, to be honest, were also a little selfish - just leaving the Holy See so quietly, there would definitely be all kinds of troubles in the future? If it weren't for having enough confidence in "herself", to be honest, Fang Xiang actually wanted to give Selena a corrective punch at that time......
But think about it, mothers will favor their children after all, right?
"If you don't think I'm noisy, I'll nag you more - a mother who only has twenty years to live to raise her child is not qualified......"
"Eh??"
"I won't talk about the excess, you should understand - well, if you see you again, you won't meet again...... Cherish your life, fool. (To be continued......)
