26. Io's anomaly

"Nozomi ...... Sheena?"

Lilu nervously looked at the murderous human girl in front of her, even though the surroundings had already turned into a sea of fire, dyeing the sky red, but the area around Sheena made people feel gray and dark.

Lilu subconsciously stopped--the current Sheena, if someone approached rashly, she would definitely be killed...... The constant overflow of cold aura from her body almost plummeted the temperature around her to freezing point, and this aura full of murderous meaning made Lilu feel instinctively resistant.

Realizing that there was someone behind her, Sheena slowly turned around.

“...... Lilou!?"

When she saw the approaching person clearly, the expression on Sheena's face immediately froze, and she stared at Lilou for half a minute with that somewhat amusing cold expression.

After that, the ice melts.

"Lilou, you, you...... You're not dead!?"

Sheena, who was very excited, hurriedly threw away the things she was carrying, and hurriedly ran towards Lilu. It was only then that Lilou noticed what Sheena had thrown - it was the heads of two bloody men......

No way?

Lilou suddenly felt a pang of wonder - according to convention, shouldn't the heroes of those stories have a chance to show their might after they have experienced adventures and come back to life?

The enemy who had abused him so badly before was actually killed so easily...... Eldest sister. You're hanging, aren't you?

Lilou begins to wonder if Sheena would be able to protect Io if she really had malicious intentions towards Io in the first place.

"How do you describe it? Actually, I can say that I was dead. But it's good luck, it's just that you don't die......" Seeing that the enemy had been killed, Lilou no longer maintained a fighting posture, and stopped the boiling flames in her body, and lifted the "coat" of the flames around her body.

When the flames were already controllable, Lilou would integrate the fire element into her body's blood circulation, and she would never be the same as before. It's a backlash to the body. Furthermore, the flame, which already possessed substantial "life", was almost a separate organ for Lilou - needless to say used for attack. Using it to form a defense, that's perfectly fine.

But it doesn't seem to be needed anymore...... Lilou was a little resentful, and she was going to test her newfound skills with those two guys.

When Lilou lifted the cloak of flames that surrounded her, Sheena rushed to Lilu's steps. Suddenly stopped.

“......”

presented to Sheena. What kind of scene is it?

On the scorched earth of the flames, in the midst of the hideous red hues, a cool flesh color suddenly appeared—Lilou lived up to the name of elves, and her complexion was fairer than that of humans, but it was not the sickly white, and there was a touch of healthy pink permeated with the white.

...... Lilou's clothes had been burned down a long time ago.

Sheena usually hoards a lot of assets and can afford to buy herself a sturdy and durable set. Clothing with excellent protection ability, which makes it possible to be poisoned by fire before. Her clothes were only a little damaged, but they weren't completely unworn. But Lilou's clothes couldn't help her tossing, and they had already turned into ashes.

Sheena subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Lilou stood naked in front of her, and the fairy's name of beauty was convincingly reflected in her. Obviously, she is just the appearance of a little girl who has not grown up, but with her well-proportioned body proportions, she feels extremely comfortable just by looking at it...... Not to mention, what a wonderful ecstasy it would be to hold in your arms......

Wait, did you just have a strange idea?

Sheena quickly shook her head and wiped out all those dangerous thoughts. At the same time, she realizes that the legend of the elves, which has always been talked about, is not unfounded—for a human like her, the beauty of the elves is almost an irresistible temptation.

It's like pollen's attraction to creatures like bees and butterflies.

"What's wrong with you...... Does your eye hurt?"

In Lilou's eyes, Sheena first stopped convulsively in the process of running over, then kept shaking her head as if she had been in an evil spirit, and finally covered her eyes with her hands - Lilu didn't realize that something was wrong, because the temperature around her was very high, and without the help of her reliable "cool breeze blowing on her body" classmates, Lilu didn't feel anything unusual at all.

She also deliberately walked up and reached out to touch Sheena's hands. As a result, the picture that made her blood pump became clearer, and the heroine in the painting was also closer to herself, and it was presented in front of her eyes - all kinds of qiē made Sheena's nasal cavity moist for a while.

She managed to resist the urge to bleed.

"Lilu......" Sheena hesitated for a moment, thinking that she should tell Lilu the truth. Fortunately, she is now a woman, and she will not be too embarrassed when she encounters this kind of situation, if she is a man...... Stop, stop, stop.

"You're not wearing any clothes right now. ”

"Huh?"

Lilu lowered her head in a panic, her hands subconsciously floated to her chest, and she carefully groped to check whether there was anything unusual on her body - but doing such an action in the state of the fruit body carried a hint of inexplicability, and when Sheena saw this scene, she quickly turned around and covered some embarrassing scenes with her back......

Fortunately, there is no guy ♂ ♂ in this state now, otherwise it would be troublesome if the stone is changed!

"By the way, the clothes...... My clothes were burned. ”

Only then did Lilou remember that the clothes on her body had long been completely reduced to ashes under her nonsense. But Hina turned around to avoid it, and finally didn't hear the girl's exclamation from behind her.

"Without the flames, it's a little uncomfortable to walk barefoot on the ground. ”

"Wait, Lilou, aren't you nervous?" Hina, she couldn't help herself. He took off his outermost coat and draped it over Lilou's body, "No clothes to wear." Naked and exposed to others, is not it supposed to ...... Should I be nervous?"

But this little girl didn't show anything at all, what was going on in that situation!?

"But isn't Sister Hina a a girl?"

"Even if it's the same sex, don't you feel uncomfortable exposing your body in front of others?"

After thinking carefully for a while, Lilu solemnly said to Sheena, "Yes...... A little bit, right?"

Is the result just a "little bit" of Cheng dù?

Sheena felt that she had been defeated by this elf, and she was prepared for the screams and a series of troubles that followed, but Lilou's attitude and appearance made Sheena feel like a thoughtful and obscene fool.

She probably understood what Lilou had in her eyes.

In Lilou's opinion. I have experienced a death battle with her, and I am a comrade-in-arms with my head tied to my belt, "seeing each other honestly" or something. In Lilu's eyes, it was no longer a transgression.

"Those two guys, have you already shot them to death by Sheena?"

Lilou leaned over and looked at the two human heads that Sheena had casually thrown on the ground—yes, the two remaining mages who had fought her before. Their headless corpses. He lay down on the scorched earth not far away.

Lilou remembered how she had been beaten in blood, but Sheena had killed them in such a short amount of time by herself...... I don't know how I did it, but it's really amazing.

Lilu knew that even if her current self had greatly increased her strength, it would be impossible for her to kill these two people so easily.

"I thought you were killed by them. ”

It was what I had seen with my own eyes—lifeless bodies, hideous wounds, and finally being mercilessly thrown into the flames...... If it weren't for the sheer anger of Sheena, perhaps the battle wouldn't have ended so quickly.

One is single-minded and only wants to kill the enemy. Without a shred of pity and sympathy, only hatred and anger remained of the assassins. Definitely the most dangerous type of enemy. Because few people know more about the skill of "killing" and are more proficient than them, and when this kind of person is completely free from the shackles of morality and ethics and completely turns into a killing machine, the destructive power brought by it is beyond imagination.

Sheena has always referred to herself as "Stalker", as she doesn't like to be called "assassin" or "thief". It's just that, just now, she completely abandoned these ideas.

Somebody, what does an Assassin look like when the light grows up? The Assassin should hide in the darkness, wait for the opportunity to move, and kill with one blow?

This concept is so superficial!

The founder of Berserker's Creed, the man who can't even say his name, Master Kong, who is known as the Sakura God Axe, has always used an axe to criticize and educate enemies who have such superficial concepts.

If an assassin can't even face it, then he can only die?

These two magicians, against the murderous Sheena who has entered Berserker mode, are obviously a dead end.

"I saw with my own eyes that Lilou had lost your life and thrown your body into the fire, so how could you be completely fine now?"

It's not that Hina didn't suspect the identity of the elf girl in front of her. Not to mention anything else, Lilou's breath has changed a lot from before, and the biggest embodiment is in terms of strength.

Now Lilu gave her the feeling that in terms of strength strength, it was stronger than either of the two mages alone. All in all, there are quite a lot of doubts.

But Sheena still decided to believe that this was the Lilou she knew, and that Lilou had not only not died, but had become stronger for some strange reason...... Otherwise, if this is a fake, such an ending and facts are completely unacceptable to Sheena.

- The fact that Lilou died, just thinking about it, made Hina's heart ache.

"Actually, I didn't know very well, and Lynn kicked me out without much explanation. ”

“...... Lynn?"

Sheena secretly wrote down the name that Lilu had mentioned. It's not for other reasons, it's just that Sheena subconsciously felt the mysterious name that Lilou mentioned. It could just be important.

Anyway, listen to Lilu's tone, this person called "Lynn". In that period of time, did you have any contact with Lilu?Considering that the injuries on Lilou's body had strangely disappeared and were intact, the place where that person had contact with Lilou ......

"Get out"—that's the word Lilou uses.

In other words, wasn't it in this real world at the time? Maybe it was another dimension, or maybe it was a spiritual world? In any case, it could heal Lilou completely. It should be a storage zài with abilities beyond common sense, right?

Sheena was completely crooked.

The reason why Lilou was able to "resurrect" has nothing to do with Lin at all...... The spar that seals the Celestial Phoenix is provided by NONO. And the power of the most critical elven canon has nothing to do with Lin, she just pushed Lilu at a critical time, which greatly accelerated the process.

Of course. Lilou herself doesn't know much about the actual situation. It is inevitable that Sheena will have misunderstandings.

Sheena decided not to delve into this issue further, after all, the history of the elves is so thick, and there is no need to wonder what kind of strange situation happened, right?

"Why do these people have the iron heart to kidnap your princess?"

Originally, Hina thought that there were some careerists with ulterior motives. He wants to use this opportunity to completely provoke the conflict between humans and elves, so as to profit from the war. But just now I was in the middle of fighting those two magicians. She also sensed that the two of them had a very strange attitude towards Io - if they wanted to use him as a hostage, they had to treat each other well before the hostage was useless. Otherwise, what you bring back is not a hostage that can be used, but a fuse that will ignite the barrel of explosives on the opposite side at any moment.

But the attitude of these two people is debatable.

They don't seem to care about Io's "treatment" at all, let alone treat each other well, I'm afraid that for them, as long as they ensure that Io does not die as a precondition, it is okay to wantonly hurt and humiliate her.

Even considering that the other party's purpose is to provoke an all-out war between humans and elves, such an attitude is quite strange - because, if you do this, the smell of "conspiracy" is too obvious, even if the elves are in a hurry, it will be easy to think about "framing", right?

Therefore, the attitude of the person who "responds" at the end of this is absolutely abnormal.

"I don't know, but whatever, as long as Io is safe, it's fine. Lilou didn't think about these things, for her, Io's safety was the most important thing, "Leave those troublesome things to Sister Luna and them to think about!

"Ah, in order to prevent her from being hurt by the flames around her, I have deliberately made a little protection - don't worry, although it is such a fierce fire, nothing will go wrong with your little princess. ”

After all, Io is not like Lilou, that little guy can't control fire, and his resistance to fire is not comparable to Lilou's individual examples. Before rushing over for reinforcements, Hina also took this into account, especially making a reliable means of protection for the unconscious Io.

Thankfully, this is no ordinary flame, it uses magical elements rather than simple matter to burn, and it doesn't actually consume much oxygen in the air. Otherwise, the lack of oxygen and the toxic smoke would be enough to send the unconscious Io back into the arms of the elven god......

"Alright, let's go grab Io and get out of here!"

This kind of magical flame, which is deliberately used to block the movement of oneself and others, and block the support from outside, has the advantage that it will not spread to other places like natural fires - think about how terrible it is to spread when a fire breaks out in a forest area.

Although it is impossible to easily extinguish the fire here in ten days and half a month, it will not spread out, and it can be regarded as a loss and a gain.

"Is Lilou right ahead?" Lilou waved her hand, trying to dispel the hot air in front of her, "I can't see clearly...... Ah, the air is blurry when the temperature is high, and now when I look ahead, I feel like everything is twisting and turning!"

Thinking of this unexpected situation, and finally surviving without danger, Lilou was in a good mood.

Just as she was happily taking a step, intending to go to meet the princess. Sheena behind her suddenly pushed her away. Then, a ferocious attack swept across Lilou's cheek.

"Woo......"

Lilou was horrified—what was going on?Why was Io being attacked here?...... Are there any new enemies. Isn't Io already in their hands?

Thinking of this, Lilu suddenly became anxious.

I finally went through the danger, and even died once, but when I finally waited for the ending happily, I found that I had entered the BADENDING inexplicably!

Annoyed, Lilou also unceremoniously headed for the direction in which the attack was launched. Fought back!

Earlier, she was still complaining that Hina was too powerful to guide her upgraded self to have the opportunity to test the power of the new life, but now it is good. I actually sent it to the door myself!

"Lilou! wait! something isn't right......"

Before Sheena could finish her words, Lilou had already launched an attack - a flame hotline with extremely condensed energy, which instantly broke through the distance between the two sides and completely hit the mysterious enemy.

However, it doesn't work for X.

On the side of the enemy. It seems that there is some kind of mysterious force field. Surrounded by it, Lilou's hot-wire attack was like the water of a waterfall hitting the rocks, and it immediately scattered in all directions, doing nothing.

But this also broke down the barrier between the two sides, and Lilou could clearly see the enemy's figure - but it was this glimpse that made Lilou in a trance.

At that moment, Lilou felt as if she had been hit hard with a hammer on her head. The true face of the "enemy" presented to her. It was completely beyond Lilou's imagination...... Even Hina, somewhat, felt something was wrong. I was also frightened by this sight.

"Ai ...... Io!?"

That's right, the true face of the enemy who stood in front of them and even launched a lethal attack on Lilu was none other than Io, who should have been protected. And now, Io's face is completely different from the usual expression...... Not to mention Lilou, even if she knew her later and was not an elf clansman, it could be seen that Lilou would never put on such a cold posture!

“......”

There was a slight slur in Io's mouth, but Lilou didn't hear any words, just some confused and meaningless noise.

"Io, what's wrong with you? Don't, don't scare me......"

In response to Lilou, it was a hotline that was identical to the attack she had unleashed earlier - no, it wasn't exactly the same, but the energy intensity was the same...... However, the strength of this hotline attack, the strength of the energy, is superior to Lilu.

Lilu hurriedly raised her palm into a knife and swung it head-on towards the attacking hotline, directly splitting the hotline in two!

For Lilu, whose body is surging with a flame of life, it is impossible for her to be defeated by this half-attack now. It's just that Lilou's heart still can't accept the fact that her friend, the innocent and lively elf princess, will become what she is now.

Of course, Lilou knew that this would never be Io's intention - but she wished Io really wanted to attack her. Because in this way, it can at least be said that it is Ai Ou himself who accuses her of behavior.

Now this is what it looks like...... Obviously, there is something that "controls" Io.

"Who are you, why do you want to occupy Io's body!"

“......”

In response to Lilou's questioning, "Io" only glanced at her faintly, and did not mean to answer at all. But if you think about it carefully, maybe it's not just that the other party doesn't want to answer?

It seems that the existence that now occupies Io's body, not to mention with the help of Io's mouth...... Speak?

"Lilu, this guy, who should have control over Io's body, is not perfect. ”

Sheena stood in front of Lilou, Lilou's love was not very good now, and she might not be able to play much if she really wanted to fight, and she didn't want to experience the experience of seeing Lilou "die" again - if something happened again this time, Lilu might not be able to miraculously survive.

"She tried to speak just now, didn't she? But her mouth moved, but she couldn't speak properly...... Is it understandable that she is only able to control Io's body, but she is not able to completely grasp the ability to divide the language function, which is directly under the jurisdiction of other areas of the brain?"

When "Io" heard this, his expression immediately changed. (To be continued......)
