Blood of Mercury

Probably Geoffreyra or Crystal Nest was slaughtered by "Roland", and Higgs' projection disappeared like a bubble.

However, just looking at each other for a moment, a strange rhythm was directly embedded in Roland's heart. Along with these strange whispers that kept ringing, Roland felt an abyss-like tranquility.

That is the power of the overturned [Eternal Sleep] field. For the first time, Roland realized how terrifying this complete mental stillness was.

Roland felt his soul becoming heavy. Then he felt himself drifting into the unfathomable abyss, and a scented warmth kept patting his face softly. It was as if he were floating in a sea of ​​scorching roses—a sea of ​​scorching medicinal liquor, the warm waves crashing against the shores of brass flames, breaking into foam.

After waking up again, Roland found himself in a strange place.

It was a very huge room, the roof alone was tens of meters high, and it was definitely not a place where humans lived.

Beneath him was a dark brown floor with intricate patterns engraved on it. The dome that was high like a church was scattered with colorful colored glaze, which were randomly combined, exuding a strange and wild beauty.

And around him are randomly placed seven or eight funny and irregular tetrahedral bookshelves like inferior pyramids. Countless books of various sizes hang on the bookshelves, keeping dangerous dangers at a strange angle. balanced.

tick.

tick.

Before he could understand the surrounding environment, Roland suddenly realized the familiar voice that kept echoing in his ears in the extremely quiet environment.

- I've been here before.

A vague impression made Roland realize this.

Following the prompt of his magnified instinct, Roland immediately raised his head and found a huge coffin-like clock smoothly.

That's right, it appeared suddenly - the coffin-like clock runs from the ground to the roof, and even the top of the roof has been pushed up to the outside world. But when Roland looked up at the church-like dome before, he didn't notice anything like a column attached to the roof, and the roof with a wonderful curvature was also intact.

The three identically long hands of the wall clock vibrated at the same frequency and at different paces. It's not like timing, it's more like constantly prompting something, sending some kind of signal to the outside world.

【I want to open it-】

After such a thought popped up in Roland's mind, a gap naturally appeared on the clock. It seems that as long as Roland lifts it lightly, it can be opened directly.

But at this moment, an inexplicable fear hit Roland's mind, and the flowing icy breath gently bit the back of his neck, making everything in front of him extremely clear, but it kept changing like drunkenness Far. It kept warning Roland not to open the coffin.

【That's my mission—】

A burst of anger without warning and without any reason angered Roland. He let out a terrible scream full of hatred, and the whole space shook.

First the walls, then the ground, then the bookshelves and books—intuitively, Roland could drive some force to twist everything in front of him, making them melt like cream, flow into one, and then turn into silver The flames turn the whole world into a sea of ​​fire. The clock was also burned, and the disguise was removed, revealing the coffin below, but the ticking did not disappear, but resounded more clearly and loudly in Roland's heart.

Roland stared at the coffin in a daze, and two lines of tears poured out inexplicably.

The sound of the cloth being torn off sounded. Roland forcefully separated the nailed palms, and tick-tick silver-gray blood flowed, soaking the dim yellow cloth.

He roughly tore off the strip of cloth wrapped around his eyes and lifted the coffin with trembling hands.

——Lying in the coffin were two corpses that were burned by the silver flames and changed beyond recognition.

However, Roland could recognize who it was.

"……elder sister."

It was himself and his sister's body.

He stroked the cheeks of the two corpses with trembling hands, recognizing a fact he had been ignoring all along.

That's right, he already remembered, he and his sister were originally one person.

At the age of eight, after her mother was killed by the thief with an iron pick in the panic on that rainy day, Roman was already insane.

The younger brother, the thief, the man in black, the host, the doctor, the doll... In response to her needs, many personalities appeared in her mind to share the pain and stimulation that she could not bear. At most, Roman even had seventeen personalities.

Later, after mental stabilization, after the treatment of a psychiatrist and Roman's own efforts to recover, all personalities except Roland have sunk. Roland, as her "brother", became Roman's enlightener and guide. Even that name was given to him by Roman.

"what……"

Roland opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

- should have thought of it earlier. Why did my sister disappear from my body out of thin air that night, why did my sister and myself come to Faens...

Thinking back now... My sister had already come to Farnes back then. Her mission is about the same as herself, all to save Farnes.

However, she failed.

Roland was her second and last chance with Farnes.

In the body named "Roman", there is nothing at this time. If Roland is dead, it means that Roman and the entire Faens will disappear into the dusk forever.

The fact is that Roland and his sister are one, and their talents should be the same.

Roland's fluid origins have been awakened from his first encounter with Higgs. But Eye of Aum thought that this was harmful to Roland, and did not let Roland realize it, making Roland forget his origins again.

In addition to the mentor, Eye of Aum has also been paying attention to Roland's saint from the very beginning.

Just like the settings in the game, the system panel is the gift of the Eye of Orm, the law itself that is combed and authorized. Like his mentor, he is Roland's guardian.

Why did the three saints take good care of Roland from the very beginning, why Roland became a voter and a pope, and what the three saints were expecting—at this moment, Roland understood everything.

Touching Dusk does bring special abilities, but the way to obtain this ability is to regenerate once with the power of Dusk.

——The hope of the Three Sanctuaries is to hope that Roland can resurrect Roman, so that the two damaged souls can be reunited into a complete one, and the two origins of "fit" and "flow" can be unified.

If he obtains the dual authority, Roland can embed himself in the entire Faens, using the planet as a boat, so that Faens has the ability to float freely in the universe, so as to avoid the perception of the dusk species.

"—But, I refuse."

Roland's hand paused slightly, and after choosing between the two corpses for a moment, he placed his hand on the chest of his corpse very naturally.

The next moment, Roland's own corpse instantly turned into dust, and under his dim-yellow bandage, new flesh and blood grew rapidly.

After he made a choice, the illusion quickly collapsed. The "Blind Prayer" vanished again and disappeared into the air.

But this time, unlike before, Roland already has the ability to control his own dusk incarnation. He can summon it at any time and use it to smash any twilight species that falls to Farnes in a projection.

When Roland opened his eyes again, he returned to Frankfurt.

"What are you doing, Roland..."

The incarnation of the long-sleeping mentor did not know when he appeared behind him, and he sighed deeply: "I know your limits. Only your own strength cannot protect the entire Faens."

"Of course I know."

However, Roland was unmoved.

He turned his back to his mentor and said in a deep voice, "You are right. My words alone cannot save Faens' fate... But this is an era of mortals."

"I may not be able to change the fate of this world. But I can try to change the fate of all human beings in this world. If you think of dusk as the end, all you can think about is how to delay its arrival. If there is an enemy, I will consider how to defeat it... I will become the enemy of dusk."

"That's right, we can't defeat the Twilight Seeds. But that's only our world, our universe... When Faens jumps out of this dead zone, we'll be able to see more people and more living power. If If they are also willing to serve me as Lord, there will be an infinite number of people around me. Since Dusk has an infinite number, we will attack them with an infinite number. In tens of thousands of years, tens of millions Years later, there is always hope of victory~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Are you going to be immortal, Roland?"

At this time, Changmian's mentor seemed to know Roland for the first time: "This means that you will never see your sister--"

"Always. She'll be waiting for me."

Roland murmured, turned around and knelt down deeply towards the mentor.

"Teacher, please show me the way."

"I'm going to be the savior, I'm going to be the spiritual leader of all those who want to fight the Twilight...I'm going to be the Emperor."

"I am, the enemy of dusk—" (To be continued.)
