Chapter 12: The Outstretched Hand in the Coffin

Since Ashida's disappearance, the Traveler has yet to truly test his "out-of-control" power. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

He didn't know how the mages controlled it, he didn't even understand it at all, he could only simulate a scenario that most closely resembled the "out of control" experience based on his previous inductions and reasoning, and then try to use it.

In Tails's plan, this force should have been to learn more or less about the origin of "magic energy" and "magic master" in Gilbert's classes in a calm and safe living environment, and after considering the reactions of the people around him to his "out of control", he began to explore and study secretly, safely, step by step.

But the imminent catastrophe in front of him, the tragic situation of Rolf not being able to survive and dying, made him determined to start this "magic energy experiment" that may cause danger in advance.

The first two times he was "out of control", the dagger used blood as a medium, the dagger as a physical object, and the mysterious sphere as energy all moved inexplicably in front of his eyes, so he initially guessed that the power was related to spatial transfer?

Just transfer the clasp of the stone lock to my hand—Tails meditated in his heart.

The process was simpler than he had imagined.

The burning sensation in the body is getting stronger and stronger, the stone lock in front of me is getting bigger and bigger, and the scenes are getting more and more in my mind.

Tails then lost consciousness.

When I opened my eyes again, I saw the moonlight, heard the wind, felt the cold, and saw the astonished blood people on the ground.

And he himself has been carried in the arms of Rolf, and the earth is gradually drifting away under his feet.

Although the process was a little strange—Tails thought wearily—it seemed that the experiment had been successful.

Though embarrassed and miserable, Rolf was freed from the burden of heavy shackles, and he forced his way to the wind and flew upward.

At this moment, no one is more shocked than Chris.

"How is that possible..."

The old man of the Bloodclan muttered blankly.

Easteron and Lolana are still young.

Therefore, only he knows that in the dungeon, the "Nightwing Lock" that locks the super-level master is a secret treasure that has been passed down for nearly a thousand years by the Corleone family, and the exclusive torture instrument of the Duke of the Blood Clan, which can only be unlocked with the blood of the person who locked it.

That's used to trap the Extreme Realm master!

It was originally prepared to prevent His Highness from going berserk with chaotic consciousness, but it was only after His Highness's situation stabilized that it was used on the body of that super-level blood source.

A shackle that even the world's most advanced magic gun can't break!

How did they open it?

Before his serious injury, Rolf was the darling of the wind, and he was even able to lie on all fours for five minutes at a height of ten meters in the air under the influence of the wind.

But now, he was weak, tired and thirsty, and the sudden loss of his legs had affected his balance, and the sharp pain in his throat distracted him, and most of his proud abilities were used to maintain the "breathing" from his larynx to his lungs.

He knew that he had no chance of winning against the last three Bloods, and that Tails seemed to be a stopgap backup plan, so Rolf, after breaking free from the chains, wanted nothing more than to keep using the wind to rise to heights beyond their reach, and if the Bloods chased them, he would try his best to blow them down with the wind.

But he still underestimated Chris, who became a master of the Extreme Realm hundreds of years ago.

Chris was not surprised to slow down his movements, thousands of years have made him old and strong, only to see his dry face sink, and his body instantly rose more than ten meters, rushing towards the two people in the air!

For the sake of His Highness, that cub must be retrieved!

He approached Rolf in an instant, and the wind was blowing in front of him.

Tails was surprised to see that Chris, whose clothes and hair were blown away by the strong wind, turned into a blood-colored mist with an expressionless face.

Not blood like Eastron, but blood mist.

In Tails's eyes, the blood mist was blown away by Rolf, but it still spread upward, passing through the wind barrier established by Rolf without hindrance!

The blood mist seeped into Rolf's front, and under the solemn gaze of the two, it gradually turned back into the old man with an obscure and pale face, and began to fall again.

"Ahh

But before he could finish screaming, Chris Corleone's hand pinched Rolf's left wrist.

"The one who doesn't give birth to wings—" Chris's tone was much colder than the temperature in the sky, and he only heard him say in a frenzied voice, "Don't be delusional about flying." ”

"Click—"

"Woo-ho-"

More than twenty meters in the air, the sound of Rolf's fractures and pain were heard at the same time.

Then, Easteron on the ground, and the grizzled face, covering the half-grown one-arm, rushed out of the dungeon, and saw Rolf, who was holding Tails, grabbed by Chris's left hand, and was pulled towards the ground by the latter with terrible force!

"Ahh

Rolf was so crazy that he was so desperate that he couldn't even forget to breathe!

But he still can't get rid of Chris's claw that pierced his hand bones and firmly held his wrist!

Tails was even so blown by the wind that he couldn't open his eyes, and he was out of strength, and he had already exhausted his hole cards.

The traverser has long been powerless.

Finally, Rolf, who was struggling, was inevitably pulled down from high in the air by Chris.

Rolf lost his balance and was almost exhausted of energy, trying to harness the wind, but Chris's sheer force prevented him from taking to the air again.

"For Your Highness, that cub wants to live!" Chris said coldly, clasping Rolf tightly and falling in the air.

Lolana licked her teeth with hatred, shook her newly grown arm, and smiled, ready to catch the cub.

Next to her, Eastron, whose perception was slightly stronger than the former's, changed his face and suddenly looked out of the manor gate.

There, a dense tremor, getting closer and closer.

"Lolana—" Easteron said with a slight anxiety, but Lolana was fully and mentally on the two of them in the air.

Tails didn't dare to open his eyes, however, the faster and faster wind in his ears and the accelerated weightlessness all indicated that the situation was not good.

This move, because of a sudden accident, is it still too early?

Rolf had given up on breaking free from Chris's grasp.

He looked at the moon farther and farther away, the ground getting closer and closer, and his eyes gradually became pure, clear and relieved.

At that moment, Rolf suddenly realized that after experiencing so much pain, the wrist bone fracture was actually not pain at all.

The corners of the ghost of the wind pulled out a long-lost smile.

It's a pity, kid.

Thank you for the opportunity.

At least, I struggled.

And those vampires won't have a chance to run into you.

Time seems to have slowed down.

Then, as she was about to catch Tails, she was astonished to see:

The half-crippled Rolf, howling and screaming at the moment when he was about to fall to the ground.

He threw Tails with one hand in the direction of the manor!

"No!" Chris roared ungracefully, but Rolf, who had one free hand, grabbed his waist tightly and fell to the ground!

Tails only felt the momentum of the fall change, and his whole body involuntarily flew in the other direction.

In an instant, the stone wall of the big house appeared in front of me, getting closer and closer.

It's about to hit his head!

Tails could only close his eyes tightly.

Is this the end of it?

However, to the surprise of the traverser, the imaginary tragic situation of the broken head did not happen.

His momentum suddenly froze, his head dizzy, and he fell into a steady, safe embrace.

"Boom!"

Rolf and Chris fell so hard that they even smashed the ground, and the open space of the manor was suddenly dusty!

Lorana's face changed drastically, and she flickered towards Tails, who was flying in the direction of the big house, and arrived in an instant.

Eastron, on the other hand, glanced at the gate of the manor with a solemn expression, and his voice flashed, and his voice resounded through the manor in the empty night.

"Enemy attack!"

Tails, dizzy, slowly opened his eyes in a bosom that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

In front of him, a dark purple mask and two dark lenses looked at him in the moonlight.

"Don't worry, Tails," stood on the third-floor balcony of the manor's house, and the secret guard of the royal family, Yodel Cato, spoke hoarsely, his voice trembling faintly:

"You're safe. ”

Tails smiled tiredly and reassuringly, closing his eyes, completely relieved.

A dense sound of vibration came clearly from outside.

"Bang!"

The gates of the Grassy Manor were slammed open.

Countless horses' hooves poured in!

"In the name of the Supreme King of the Stars, His Majesty Kessel Bright Star!"

Count Gilbert Cassel, whose steady and deep voice came from the dust and the sound of horses' hooves:

"All the people present in the vine manor are suspected of stealing and harboring the secret treasures of the royal family!"

"Immediately tie your hands and don't resist!"

"Violators will be killed on the spot!"

——————————————————

In an empty dark room, there were not even torches.

There is only boundless darkness.

and two vague breaths.

"It's a pity, this is probably the closest we've ever gotten to a Qi Wizard in twelve years. An old, shrill voice said.

"But all the information indicates that Ashida has been killed. A brisk and bright male voice.

"Then I guess, you who think that he was 'killed' must have read the information about the immortality and immortality of the magician?" said the old man's snarky voice.

"Don't be so serious, teacher," the brisk male voice continued, "he's at least sealed." ”

"The question is, who has the ability to seal Ashida, and who has the weapon to seal Ashida?" continued the question in a hoarse voice.

"That's just a few. "The light and bright male voice is playful.

"Yes, alas," the hoarse, shrill voice seemed to come with a little disappointment, "nothing more than that." ”

"There is no need to check the truth of Hongfang Street, and all the files – including the explosion in the center and the eyewitness report of the woman with the child on her back – are sealed and set for permanence. ”

"As for Ashida Saxon, still prepare the people on the border, whether it is ten or twenty years, the Qi Wizard will eventually return. A hoarse, shrill voice gave the order in a gloomy voice.

There was a long silence.

"Don't look like that, teacher. In terms of the benefits, we have one less great enemy, and in the better sense of the benefits, we may not be able to draw the Bloody Demon Master. The brisk male voice said lazily.

"Don't pretend you can see my expression," the hoarse and scathing voice said dissatisfiedly, and then sighed again: "Blood Demon Master—alas, this damn fate, Wang Du, will probably be in chaos again soon." “

"Twelve years ago, I had at least Lancer, Gini, Thyssen, and Lanzal Norfolk by my side, but now I have the only people I can use. The hoarse voice sighed, full of loneliness and loneliness.

"But it was twelve years ago, even if there were a group of you, didn't His Majesty the First King also die? The lilting voice seemed to have no scruples, talking about the tragedy of twelve years ago.

In the darkness, both voices were silent for a long time.

"Yes, even twelve years ago," the hoarse voice finally replied, this time, the tone seemed to be full of grief and dissatisfaction: "The first king, still dead." ”

"That's right," the brisk voice seemed to finally realize that the atmosphere was wrong, and said stiffly, "The 'Dark Room' sent someone to send a headless letter, saying that yesterday there was a gangster figure who was leaving Exeter and setting off for the stars, coming to Eternal Star City—the old woman also said that this is to repay your previous favor." ”

"Ah, the secret department and the dark room, a long-lost cooperation. The hoarse and shrill voice seemed to be aroused: "At this time, the blood demon master who came to the royal capital?"

"No, I sent someone to check, it seems to be a doctor from the Brotherhood of the Dark Street, named Ramon. ”

"Does he have a problem?"

"Someone was on a country road and saw him perform a 'little trick'. ”

"Little trick?" the hoarse voice finally became solemn.

"Yes, a 'little trick,'" the brisk male voice cynically said:

"But according to the profound knowledge I have seen all over the entire Bright Star Library, the upper and lower twenty floors, I have come to the conclusion that this 'little trick' that can heal wounds in an instant was commonly known as -"

His lilting voice instantly deepened.

"Magic. ”

The voice fell slowly.

This darkness is really falling into a dead silence. It's like a cemetery in the middle of the night.

After a long time.

"That old woman—" The hoarse voice actually chuckled: "You actually gave me this news as a favor." ”

"It's really cunning and treacherous, as before. ”

——————————————————

Gilbert took the lead, and the guards of the Finishing Swordsmen, mounted on horseback, marched into the manor.

Surround the three Bloods!

"The silver sword is unsheathed, ready to meet the enemy!" Gilbert didn't talk nonsense, he knew that the previous "surrender or kill" announcement was just a formality.

And what really works, often only strength and weapons!

Just like diplomacy.

"Lorana!" shouted Eastron, flickering with agility to avoid the two swords that had taken his head straight at him, and not without anxiety and anger:

"Call the Shadow Guards!"

Lolana fell from a window on the second floor, and in her exasperation—neither her incomparable stature nor her indestructible claws, she could do anything about Yodel Cato, who was holding Tails and sometimes disappearing—knew what was going on, so she opened her arms and let out a strange silent roar in the direction of the dungeon.

Rumble!

In the direction of the dungeon, there was a sudden tremor like a dense thunderstorm.

Gilbert's face changed, the long sword in his hand waved decisively, and the swordsmen on his side shouted in unison!

But it was too late.

At the entrance of the dungeon, a black tide suddenly erupted!

Rushing towards a formation of thirty finishing swordsmen.

"Forming a Ring Formation!" Gilbert saw what rushed out, and roared with a blue face: "It's a blood slave!"

Thirty Termination Swordsmen, who were at least above the mortal level, also saw what rushed out.

Those were blood-red-eyed people with crazy faces!

Almost all of the people present were battle-hardened guards, and they knew what the creature was in front of them.

It was the most primary, and the lowliest, blood-slaves, who were transformed by humans or other races who received the essence of the blood-blood, who were hungry, crazy, loyal, and not afraid of death.

Dozens of blood slaves, the tide is pouring towards the horse formation!

Gilbert saw the situation clearly and knew that Tails was safe, and blindly relying on horsepower to attack these fearless creatures would only increase his own casualties.

"Guard!" he commanded aloud.

"Ho!"

Thirty finishing swordsmen shouted angrily, flipped off their mounts, and quickly formed a circular formation! Each stepped out with his left foot and his right sword tilted, guarding the people around him!

This is the defensive formation that Xingchen is famous for - Huimang Array!

At this moment, a figure slowly stood up from the pit that Rolf and Chris had smashed.

Then, the figure flickered and disappeared in an instant!

"Please stay here for a while, and rest for a while. Yodel gently placed Tails on the third-floor balcony - he saw Chris peeking out of the dust, and the other figure vanished.

"We'll take care of the rest. ”

Then, Yodel also disappeared before Tails' eyes.

The next moment, Yodel's short sword with a dark color of crossed sword grid appeared in mid-air, and a pair of sharp claws of Chris, who was galloping towards the third floor, staggered, flashing a spark!

"Boom!"

A piercing sound hits everyone's eardrums!

Surprisingly, there was no air collision.

Yodel and Chris, two of the top Extreme Realm masters in the Western Continent, taught them a move, and they roughly understood each other's strength and dispersed.

"It's the ability to shuttle through the shadows!" Chris's face was cold, and his right paw dug deep into the second-floor wall, pinning himself to the wall.

"As the pinnacle of the Extreme Realm, even in the Kingdom of Stars, you shouldn't be nameless—is it because the light of the 'Kingdom Fury' is too strong and is covered?" the old man said coldly, the battle between the blood slaves and the guards did not attract his attention at all, and all his energy seemed to be on Tails on the third floor.

As usual, Yodel did not say a word or distinguish his emotions, his strange figure, light and illusory, standing on the pane of a window on the second floor, seemingly crumbling, but never falling.

Under the manor, the blood slaves and the circle finally met in close combat!

"Bang!" The first muffled sound came from a violent collision between a blood slave and a guard!

The sharp sword guarding his side, the two blades angrily slashed through the body of the blood slave, and the claws and nails of the blood slave cut through the armor of the warrior regardless of the cost.

The same scene quickly appeared at every point of the circle.

The scene suddenly became chaotic.

In the midst of the confusion, Tails noticed that Lolana Corleone was roaring in rage, leaping in his direction!

But she was still halfway through when she was forced to take two steps back by a long silver metal chain that winded in mid-air.

"Your battlefield is here, blood-sucking!"

With the angry words, Tails saw a dark-haired woman of about forty years old, dressed in a suspicious light blue court lady's uniform (he didn't know it at the time), slammed a chain in front of Lolana!

Luo Lana sneered, her figure flashed, and she wanted to jump out of the range of the metal chain sword, but at the moment when her body shook, she was firmly wrapped around her neck, and the place where the chain was entangled in her neck was actually "sizzling" green smoke!

"This is a silver chain sword,!" The court lady, Ji Ni roared with a displeased face, "For you, I have done my best!"

At this moment, Eastron's eyes turned blood-red into blood, and he flew into the air, also attacking Tails!

"Khoosh!" Istleron roared, his claws interlaced, and a silver sword stabbed straight into his chest.

"This gentleman!" Gilbert, who was rushing through the blood slaves with the three finishing swordsmen, and was standing firmly in front of the door on the first floor, looked at Easteron dissatisfied, raised the silver sword in his hand, and shook out a standard invitation to duel hand-starting: "Please stay away from that child." ”

The battle between the blood slaves and the swordsmen is still ongoing!

But Tails was tired, watching the three bloods who pounced on him again and again, constantly being stopped by difficult opponents.

The traverser suddenly understood!

They don't want me, he said silently.

It's something on the third floor.

There, it must be their weakness.

The battle between the blood slaves and the swordsmen continued, and the three blood clans and the three warriors were still fighting fiercely.

Thinking of this, Tails looked at him with suspicion and fear, but still resolutely, and slammed open the balcony door!

His weak body collapsed into the room as soon as he pushed the door open.

"Boom!"

But a dull and eerie dull sound attracted the attention of the traverser.

Tails gasped softly, raised his head, and slowly saw the dimly lit room in the moonlight outside the balcony.

Especially the one in the center that connects countless blood vessels, the patterns are complicated, and the text is difficult-

Black giant coffin.

"Knock! knock!"

As if awakened by something, the dull sound coming from the black coffin became more and more intense.

More and more violent.

"Knock knock!

Tails suddenly realized that his act of pushing open the door and rushing into the room was more or less reckless.

Until—

"Bang!"

An incomparably loud bang!

Tails was knocked backwards, his eardrums buzzing.

The lid of the black coffin, as if a terrible explosion had occurred from within, shook upwards violently, and then smashed to the ground!

Tails clutched his aching ears and gritted his teeth to get up.

I saw that on the edge of the black coffin with the lost cover, I don't know when, a sticking out—

Dry, charred, ominous—

Hand.
