Endless Debt

The sea of ​​mist in the great rift boiled, and the heart-stopping power struck like waves, passing over people's bodies, causing a sharp stinging sensation.

"It looks like the Armageddon has begun."

Red Dog squinted his eyes and looked into the depths of the foggy sea. Then he slowly turned his head and looked at Lebius beside him.

"Relax, Lebius, we are still allies now, don't look like you want to kill me... You don't want to disobey orders."

The red dog danced wantonly on Lebius's nerves, tingling his sanity.

He whistled, "What a nice piece of armor. Is this for me?"

The red dog looked at the armor Lebius was wearing. It was obvious that it was an alchemical armor, which strengthened Lebius's strength in all aspects, and even the flaws in his limbs were smoothed away.

Lebius remained silent as always, his eyes passing deeply over the red dog and the other king's secret swords.

In addition to some of the King's Secret Swords led by the Fourth Seat, there are also a large number of King's Secret Swords located on the edge of the Great Rift. In Red Dog's words, they are the reserve team responsible for supporting. When they got Xilin's body, they It will be a convoy.

Seeing that Lebius was unmoved, the red dog felt bored. He crossed his arms and raised and lowered his fingers gently.

Red Dog knew that the fourth seat was just a feint attack, and the real assassin was the first seat who had secretly infiltrated. Judging from the spread of power ripples, the first seat had already fought against the Shadow King. Within a few minutes, the Shadow King would Damn it at the hands of the first seat.

Then……

Thinking of what would happen next, Hong Quan couldn't help but feel an inexplicable excitement, and his blood boiled.

"Poor fourth seat...poor everyone..."

Red Dog murmured in a low voice. He knew very clearly that everyone had been deceived. He was one of the few sober people in the King's Secret Sword. But sober, Red Dog could not change anything and could only enjoy this doomsday. carnival.

"Lebius," Red Dog suddenly said, "Don't you think this is too boring?"

"what are you up to?"

Lebius finally spoke, and the red dog suggested with a flying look, "How about we fight each other? Don't you want to kill me?"

"Are you serious?"

Lebius knew that Red Dog was a madman, but he never expected that he would propose such an invitation to fight at this time.

"I'm serious...all mortals will die anyway, right?" Red Dog said, "I feel there is no difference whether I die here or there."

The red dog was eager to try, and as he spoke, he put his hand on the hilt of the sword.

"Do you want to start a war?" Lebius asked in confusion.

"I just want to kill people or be killed." Red Dog didn't care about starting a war.

Lebius remained highly vigilant. He thought the red dog was playing some trick. He had already seen the evil of the red dog once during the Secret War, and he would not fall into the same trap a second time.

"You're so boring, Lebius."

Seeing such a threat from him, Lebius had no reaction at all, and Red Dog was extremely disappointed.

Lebius didn't understand, "Is this world just a game to you?"

"Game world? I think it's good." Hong Quan nodded in approval, and then said, "Are you still asking, am I not afraid of death?"

Lebius acquiesced to Red Dog's words and only listened to him continue.

"Playing in the human world is not the privilege of the undead, let alone, for the undead, is there really any fun in gaming in this human world?"

Red Dog asked, "The chips of the undead are unlimited, but this world is limited. The scale of time is meaningless to them. It makes no difference to them whether they do it now or ten thousand years later. "

As he spoke, he drew out the secret sword from his waist without any warning. Lebius remained calm, but the others tensed up. Jeffrey decisively set up the bone-crushing knife, and other employees also made preparations. Fighting posture.

As if playing a prank, the red dog danced with the sword a few times, and then firmly inserted the secret sword back into his waist.

"Without the threat of death, don't you think that many things would become extremely boring?" He said softly.

Lebius commented, "You are a born madman."

"No, I was young too. Like many young people, I had unruly thoughts and felt that I was unique."

The red dog fell silent as he spoke, as if recalling something cruel.

Yes, that thing that broke Red Dog's mind.

Smelling the turbid air around him, Red Dog suddenly felt a sense of relief that he had never felt before. He said nostalgically, "It's great, I'm back in this place again."

Red Dog said meaningfully to Lebius, "It was from here that I embarked on the wrong path of destiny."

His eyes swept over Lebius, Jeffrey, and more people, and wild laughter sounded uncontrollably.

"We've all gone astray."

Red Dog still remembers that day. Although they were defeated in the secret war, they still returned to the Kogadel Empire like heroes, and were rarely summoned by the Pillar of Kingship to meet the King of Terror.

At that time, my heart was still filled with a blood-stained sense of glory, and I felt that I was the chosen warrior...

Young and frivolous.

Red Dog often hated himself when he was young and frivolous. If he could be a little more humble, maybe everything would be different.

Yes, if I had not arrogantly explored the mysterious pillar of royal power, if I had been in awe of the terrifying royal power, if I had not gone deep into the depths of the bloody cave...

Red Dog looked at the sea of ​​fog, which exuded evil and grotesque power. This was not the first time he had faced the devil's aura.

At the same time, the horrific scene replayed in my mind.

After the honor of Secret War was awarded, Red Dog did not leave the Pillar of Kingship immediately. As the youngest defender, he was proud of himself and his spirit was difficult to tame.

The red dog wants to know the secret of the Pillar of Kingship. He wants to know why people are so in awe of the kingship that they have never seen.

He was so curious.

The red dog seemed to be talking in a dream, whispering, "First there was darkness without stars."

It was as if night had fallen on the world and every life had been swallowed up. The smell of the abyss is suffocating, and the silence is unsettling.

I was like a dying person, walking in a deserted corridor, with only the sound of footprints echoing in the air.

The Pillar of King Power was too quiet, like a huge tombstone. Red Dog began to long for some signs of life, but as time went by, Red Dog's mind couldn't help but fall into some kind of madness, and his breathing became increasingly difficult. Rapid, heartbeat echoing in the ears, pain gradually narrowing, chasing something intangible.

The deathly silence and darkness caused Red Dog's nerves to collapse. He felt that his mind had lost control.

Looking back now, Red Dog felt that it was a trap, a trap deliberately guiding him.

As the core of the Kogardel Empire and the source of secrets of the royal family, how could the Pillars of Kingly Power allow themselves to be invaded so easily? She must have seen herself early on, guiding her like a prank.

Pass through the endless corridors and cross the abyss-like lift shaft.

Red Dog saw a dark red shadow. Although it was blurry, he knew that the person was the person he had surrendered to ten minutes ago.

The guy with the crown on his head knelt down, not looking like a king at all, but like a beggar, constantly praying for something.

The red dog saw it, and the calm blood lake boiled, and the man wearing the crown roared excitedly, and then his expression twisted, and he opened his mouth in pain, and a terrifying sound came from his brown teeth.

The boiling of the lake quickly calmed down, but the vibrations that came from it made the entire cave tremble slightly. The fleshy plush densely covered in the cave swayed gently, as if the entire space was the huge intestine of a monster. At this moment, it It is shrinking slowly.

The surrounding atmosphere became weird, and at some point, a woman appeared on the lake.

There were scarlet bloodstains on her fair skin. The blood covered her body like a red dress. The blood was condensed and dripping on her toes. Her face was hidden in the red mist and was difficult to see clearly, but the red dog could strangely see it. her eyes.

The moment they looked at each other, Hong Quan's body seemed to be frozen, and her heart was filled with uncontrollable desire. Her eyes were deep and dark, as if she could see through the evil thoughts and sins deep in people's hearts. Her voice was low and strange, and she could Controlling everything nearby, no one can resist.

When she gets close, the strange magic power will double. Red Dog once felt that he had become her slave. His mind was filled with that cold but obsessed feeling, and he wanted to escape but couldn't extricate himself.

Until the miserable wail broke the red dog's confusion, the man with the crown curled up on the ground in pain, begging for mercy like a wild dog.

Red Dog's heart completely lost the peace it deserved. His thinking was occupied by chaos and violence, and his temperament was completely swallowed up by the madness given to him. His consciousness could not bear so many horrific scenes, and reality was collapsing little by little, leaving His spirit and blood dance in the endless abyss.

When Hong Quan woke up again, he had already left the Pillar of King Power... Hong Quan didn't know how he left, and he didn't know exactly what he saw...

Red Dog knew what he saw.

"Hahaha."

The memory came to an abrupt end, and the red dog laughed suddenly like a lunatic. The field staff were in full alert, but the King's Secret Swords looked like they were used to it.

They all know the madness of Red Dog. It is said that he was injured in the Secret War. Since then, his mind has become abnormal. He doesn't care about anything and just regards everything as a game.

Some people think that Hong Quan is stuck in the sixth seat because of the soul scars on his body, which makes it difficult for him to continue to advance. Others think that Hong Quan has gone crazy and is only suitable to deal with those dirty things. thing.

Red Dog didn't care at all.

Because none of this makes sense.

If he had not seen that scene, if he could have lived in a lie... The feeling of the collapse of faith was not pleasant. From that day on, Red Dog felt that the King's Secret Sword, the Kogadel Empire, and even everything in this world, It's all become ridiculous.

The red dog looked at the serious Lebius beside him. He actually reached out his hand and patted Lebius on the shoulder, saying with a bit of madness in his tone.

"Don't be so serious, friend, it's just a game."

Before he finished speaking, a heavy dragging sound came from the distance. Mamo, Badr and Amu walked out of the fog. Behind them was a heavy iron coffin. As for Nathaniel, his traces had long disappeared. .

Seeing the iron coffin, Hong Dog's laughter became even more distorted.

"I know."

Red Dog knew who was hiding in the iron coffin, and he also had a vague idea of ​​what happened on the bloody night.

it's a pity.

It felt uncomfortable to have a secret in his heart, but Hong Quan couldn't tell anyone this secret. He knew that the lady was always staring at him. She satisfied his curiosity in a wicked way, and then watched him suffer. torture.

Red Dog shook his head indifferently, "It's just a game."

But there was still a trace of sadness that had dried up in his heart.

This is a game between devils, and they, all of them, are just pathetic toys.

…

The fortress that had stood for a long time collapsed, and the ruins were piled on the edge of the cliff. With a series of faint vibrations, they slid one by one into the depths of the sea of ​​mist and disappeared.

Soon, the faint vibrations became clearer, and the sharp whistle became louder and louder.

The ether collision tore the earth apart, and among the dust raised, two figures flashed and moved at high speed.

The Shadow King was full of enthusiasm and waved several streams of fire towards the first seat. They split the cliff lightly, melted the rocks, and the fire rain continued continuously. The first seat held a scythe, ruthlessly evading and counterattacking.

Cutting off the surging fire flow, the flames scorched his scarlet robe, the first seat stepped forward, the ether detonated instantly, unimaginable strength and speed blessed him, and in an instant the first seat appeared in front of the Shadow King Behind him, the scythe struck fiercely.

The Shadow King's reaction was quick enough. He rotated his body and slashed with a whirlwind. The fire sword cut through the air and stirred up swirling flames.

The battle between the two was like two thunderbolts fighting each other, stretching and contracting, spinning and intertwining with each other.

The Shadow King's fire sword roared, igniting raging fire in the air, like a huge flag, and the sickle on the first seat turned into a sad white afterimage. Every time it was slashed, a gust of wind was stirred up, and the surrounding buildings Plants and vegetation were destroyed instantly.

The roaring impact continued, and a series of sparks burst out between the blades.

They were like running water, and the fighting environment changed rapidly. Sometimes they flew in the air, sometimes they swung their weapons on the ground. Every attack they made was like a hurricane, bringing up sparks or blood. On their bodies, pale white and red lights intertwined, exuding a dazzling brilliance.

The scythe held by the First Seat seemed to be able to "see" and withstand the Shadow King's edge, accurately cutting the fire sword's attack into two pieces each time.

His style was extremely calm, as if he was playing tricks on the Shadow King, who was roaring and chasing after him.

Although the fire sword's attack power is very strong, it seems a bit monotonous in the eyes of the first seat. The Shadow King's flexible maneuvers resist the violent aggression of the first seat.

The battle between the two lasted only a short moment, but the fierce battle triggered rounds of disasters.

Beside them, flames were raging, strong winds were blowing, and the land and buildings had been completely destroyed. On this ruined battlefield, the two men's high-speed movements and attacks were like modern music, fast and wild.

In the concerto of swords, the first seat silenced all sounds.

The deadly scythe arrived at a speed beyond visual capture. It sliced ​​through the fireworks, pierced the air, split open the Shadow King's black shoulder armor, and tore him to the ground.

The Shadow King fell into the ground, creating a huge dent, and the sickle fell from the sky. The Shadow King struggled to raise the Fire Sword horizontally, blocking the blow, and the two weapons were locked in a stalemate.

The first seat asked again, "Why not just accept your fate?"

The Shadow King responded with a low growl, the anger and unyielding in his heart making his body tremble slightly. He was like crazy and wanted to rise up to resist, but was completely suppressed by the first seat and could not move.

The first person felt the fatigue and inner uneasiness from the Shadow King. He once again let out a weird mocking sound. In that disturbing laughter, the fire sword also became dim.

He raised the scythe and hit the Shadow King again and again. Amidst the resounding tremors, the ground torn apart, and then collapsed towards the next level. The impact from the scythe made the Shadow King's energy and blood surge, and even The alchemy armor was also covered with cracks. As he was slashed again and again, he was like a pinched fruit, with blood squeezing out from the cracks.

At the end, the Shadow King collapsed in the pit, his breath sluggish.

The Shadow King knew that he could no longer win the first place. The Shadow King could maintain the power of the Glorious One entirely by relying on the protection of the alchemy armor. But now this armor has become torn into pieces, and the maintenance of power is also intermittent. If this continues, he will Even the power of the Core Flame Sword can no longer be wielded.

As for his secret power... it was not his thing from the beginning.

The first person walked behind the Shadow King, grabbed his head, put the scythe on his neck like an executioner, and then slowly raised the scythe.

"A belated execution, so satisfying."

The first seat said softly.

The Shadow King's vision became chaotic, and his thoughts became shaky under a series of serious injuries.

He suddenly laughed. In the end, he still could not escape the pursuit of death, and the wish hidden in his heart could no longer be realized. On the other hand, he realized that the devil is not omnipotent.

Leviathan's promise finally came true... The Shadow King was actually a little disappointed.

"Are you crying?"

A slight sob was heard from the first seat.

"No... I'm just a little sad," Shadow King whispered, "I resent myself, because I still failed."

"You're trying to overthrow an empire."

"It's not like no empire has ever fallen."

"Xilin is dead, what are you obsessed with?"

"Is Xilin's death directly related to my desire to overthrow all of this?"

The Shadow King said hoarsely, "This has nothing to do with Xilin or the royal power. Since the blood of Cogardel has been corrupted by the devil, then cut it off. Anyway, there is no shortage of this bloodline in this world."

"It's better to be stubborn than clever."

The first one said, and swung the scythe. At this moment, the Shadow King clenched his fists, and the devil's mark on his palms disappeared.

The strange palpitating power spread from the Shadow King's body, and the figure in the first seat couldn't help but stiffen for a moment, and even the fallen scythe hesitated.

Just when he didn't understand what was happening, the ground beneath his feet began to tremble, and scarlet tentacles shot up from the ground and wrapped around the first seat.

The huge flesh-and-blood creation pushed through the ruins. Now it was fully awakened, like a violent giant beast, lashing its tentacles towards the first seat.

"You think this will stop me?"

The first seat was almost amused by the Shadow King. The scythe cut off large pieces of limbs with random strokes. This terrifying flesh and blood creature, in front of the first seat, was a corpse waiting to be dismembered. Just slaughter the lamb.

A flash of fire appeared.

When the Shadow King's roar came belatedly, the core flame sword had already slashed a slender and deadly line of fire. The line traversed the armor of the first seat, and the end of the sword blade was deeply embedded in it.

Streams of flesh and blood grew wantonly from the cracks cut by the fire sword, and soon grew into a huge pustule hanging on the chest of the first seat, as if his armor was a seal, sealing it. Under the armor was a morbid flesh and blood body that had completely lost its shape and was growing crazily.

Like the Shadow King, this armor is also the first cage.

"A blessing from that lady?" the Shadow King said contemptuously.

At this moment, the first seat was completely angered by the Shadow King. Gray light lit up from under the dark hood, and the complicated alchemy matrix emerged one by one.

He didn't want to use the secret power, which would probably attract the attention of the Bureau of Order, but now the Shadow King's ridicule has completely angered the First Seat, and he vowed to grind the Shadow King into powder.

At the same time, the flesh-and-blood creature let out a long mournful cry, and its abdomen began to swell, as if something was about to burst out of its body.

Set off an explosion that penetrated the sky and the earth.

The field of vision in the first seat turned into a blazing white. The figure of the Shadow King gradually disappeared in the light, and blood overflowed from the ear canal. The first moment the explosion occurred, his hearing was deafened and he fell into temporary deafness.

The creation of flesh and blood is actually a container, a container for explosives.

The huge explosion sphere expanded in the center, instantly releasing a large amount of heat. Huge compression waves spread through the air, destroying everything in its path.

First Xi felt as if he was being plunged into a sea of ​​fire, but soon he noticed the influence of another force. Something was corroding his body. The armor on his body was full of cracks and twisted by the restraints. Flesh and blood grew crazily, and dense tumors covered the body.

The plague of decay!

The First Seat noticed the gas released in the explosion, and the Shadow King accumulated all the plague of decay in the body of the flesh and blood creation, waiting for this moment to detonate, severely injuring the First Seat and even killing him.

Absurd laughter echoed in the explosion.

This is the real purpose of the Shadow King. He knew that Number One would do it himself, so the Shadow King used himself as bait to make him fall into this trap.

The Shadow King also knew clearly that even if he used all these methods, he might not be able to completely kill the first one. After all, he was blessed by the lady.

It's just not certain. The Shadow King still has a slim chance of winning. You must know that the lady's blessing also comes with a price.

Blessing and healing from bloodthirsty.

As long as you eat flesh and blood, you can gain a steady stream of recovery power, and even achieve the effect of immortality, but the price is an insatiable hunger and pathological changes in the flesh and blood body, just like what is hidden under the first armor .

The Shadow King can imagine the next scene. The plague of decay will severely damage the first seat. In order to survive, he will look for flesh and blood to eat, but by that time, the plague of decay has already completely wiped out all the corpses, including himself.

In this hell without food and filled with the plague of decay, the first one will slowly die in endless hunger and the subsequent effects of the plague of decay.

Death comes.

The deadly gas released in the explosion spread rapidly, as if a huge hand was gently caressing each building, causing it to shrink little by little, gradually disappearing under the erosion of the sick gas. The buildings and terrain It began to deform and collapse, becoming a lifeless, dilapidated wasteland.

The plague of decay continued to surge upwards with the impact of the explosion, and all materials in its path were corroded. It broke through the ruins and rushed into the large rift. The large area diluted the plague of decay to a certain extent, but it still had a fatal effect. sex, and it continues to spread.

Throw it high into the air.

What happens next is very simple. The plague of decay will break through the air shield and travel several kilometers or even dozens of kilometers in the city. Their corrosion can cause extreme damage over the course of hours or even days, with the building's exterior affected first, melting and deforming, and irreversible damage occurring internally.

Lebius once again witnessed the shock wave carrying the airflow passing by, and he also clearly felt the plague of decay carried in this impact.

The red dog cheered in surprise, as if celebrating the end of the world.

The end has indeed come, coming from the Great Rift, the giant air shield covering it began to twist and collapse, and endless mist spewed out.

The sky became gray and heavy, and there was a bitter smell in the air that made people feel uncomfortable and dizzy. Visibility also became very low, only tens of meters or even a few meters, and distant buildings and roads became blurred.

The fog expanded into the city, making everything look hazy and colorless. Roads and buildings lost their clear outlines and seemed to float in a hazy gray background.

When I raised my head, the sunlight was also blocked, and I could only see a dark halo. The world seems to have become a place obscured by a rough gray veil, in which the colors have lost their vividness and luster, and this is only a precursor to disaster.

The rising smog violently swept through the city, like a terrifying monster ready to engulf the entire city. Accompanying the smog were strong winds, which were mixed with dust and other impurities.

The originally busy streets of the city fell silent, vehicles could not move, and people could only huddle at home. Visibility was extremely low, and even buildings one meter away became blurred. Only the rustling of gravel and the low hum of cars could be heard. The roar echoed in my ears.

The whole world seemed to fall silent, and then a shrill siren pierced the calm.

Emergency notices occupied various radio and television channels, and hosts repeatedly warned.

"There is a sudden outbreak of gray tide smog. Citizens are asked to take shelter nearby."

I have been going back to my hometown to deal with some things these past few days, and I have been a little busy~I can’t write anything, so I will have a day off tomorrow.
