I became the master of the alien world

Chapter 557 A new journey (thirty-eight)

Subconsciously, he seemed to feel the indelible pain in Lenosia's heart.

A pain that I have experienced before.

After watching Li Nosia leave in despair, Edward was silent for a while and then he put away the Mighty Sword and walked back in the direction of Silvermoon City.

At this time, he was no longer in the mood to continue practicing swordplay, and he could no longer continue either physically or emotionally.

Although he didn't know what he could do if he went back, he knew he had to persevere.

Just as Edward walked into Silvermoon City, he suddenly realized that something seemed wrong in the city.

In the originally lifeless city, there were actually a few elves running around in a panic, as if something big had happened.

And when he walked to the square, he found that the situation there was even weirder.

The elves who had been lying motionless under the tree were all laughing wildly and running as if they were possessed.

Edward frowned, then he grabbed an elf running past him and asked, "Hey, what's wrong?

Why are you all acting like this?"

"Hahahaha, what's wrong? Don't you know yet? The end, the end has finally arrived.

Hahahaha." After saying that, the elf suddenly got rid of Edward with force and continued to run away laughing wildly.

When Edward was confused, he saw Lenosia walking towards him with a serious look on her face.

"The situation seems to have gotten worse." Before Edward could speak, Li Nosia spoke first, "In just a few minutes, more than ten elves have been swallowed."

"What did you say!" Edward almost jumped up when he heard Li Nosia's words. You must know that the Soul Reaver usually only swallows one or two elves a day, but in just a few minutes, he had actually swallowed ten.

Multiple elves.

Could it be that he has no patience to wait anymore and plans to devour everyone here directly.

If this is true, then it is indeed as the elf said just now, the end has come.

Thinking of this, Edward couldn't help but break out a thin layer of cold sweat on his head. He calmed down and said, "Then, hasn't the Soul Reaver shown up yet?"

Li Nosia did not answer, but shook her head helplessly.

After a moment of silence, she said: "I didn't tell you just now, but your fellow warrior was also killed just now..."

"Damn it, can I just sit back and wait for death?" I lost all my companions in a few days, but I was completely powerless.

Edward was extremely angry at this feeling of powerlessness. He punched a stone next to him as if to vent his anger, smashing the upper half of the unlucky stone into pieces.

"Calm down.

It's not the time to despair yet." Seeing Edward's appearance, Li Nosia immediately went up to persuade him.

"I know, just leave me alone." After Nocia said that, Edward realized that he was indeed too irritable.

He shook his head, said something, and then walked quickly towards the other side without looking back.

Unknowingly, Edward was inexplicably transferred to the tree of life.

Although it is still summer at the moment, the thick layer of ice on the Tree of Life shows no sign of melting.

Looking at the tree of life that looked like an ice sculpture, Edward seemed a little confused.

"That ice elf is really amazing.

But why does that tree always feel weird..." I don't know why Edward said to himself, "Why do the ice cubes on this tree look different from the average ones posted on the tree? They look like,

It seems...wait a minute!"

At this moment, Edward suddenly had an idea. He discovered that after being covered with a layer of solid ice, the entire ice did not look like a pyramid or something like a tree, but the ice on one side was so much higher than the other.

A section, so that the ice layer below only covered the general tree trunks, while there was a section of ice above that did not wrap any trees, as if an extra section had appeared out of thin air.

"Why did Elucina desperately try to cover the entire Tree of Life with ice? Edward, have you ever considered this?"

"In fact, her own actions didn't matter at all.

The most important thing is the tree of life itself.

Actually, didn’t you notice? That tree..."

"At the tree of life..."

The series of words Ellie and Alma said before being swallowed flooded into Edward's mind like a tide, and he vaguely felt something was wrong.

He lingered in front of the tree for a long time, his mind in confusion.

To be honest, Edward has never thought about so many problems in his whole life.

He has always believed in the principle of making the best use of everything. When he encounters something that he doesn't understand, he doesn't care about it and leaves it to his companions to consider.

You just need to think about how to deal with it after you figure it out.

But now he has no choice. The companions who can help him find a solution are gone, and the rest can only be solved by himself.

"Ellie, Elma, and even Elucina may have discovered something before the Soul Reavers took action... The Soul Reavers have attacked many elven villages, and every time..." Edward began to work hard to control himself.

Everything I know is slowly coming together, and I am trying hard to find the clues inside.

He just sat blankly in front of the Tree of Life, his eyes resting on the thick layer of ice outside the trunk. He sat there from morning until dusk.

"If this is really the case, then everything seems to be..." Edward finally woke up from his meditation at this time, stood up with a conflicted expression, and then glanced at the Tree of Life again.

Until this moment, he still could not accept the conclusion he had drawn in his mind.

"No matter.

Judging from the current situation, he will find me soon.

We'll know when the time comes." Edward, who had been thinking for a whole day, felt a little dizzy at this time. He simply sat on the branch of a big tree not far away, and leaned his sword against his side, just waiting.

In place.

"Edward, Edward, are you still alive?" At this time, Li Nosia's voice reached Edward's ears from afar.

"I'm still alive, I can't die." Edward replied loudly while smiling thoughtfully, and then jumped down from the tree.

"That's great, you're still alive." After seeing Edward, Li Nosia seemed to have let go of a heavy worry, "You know, we may be the only ones left in this city now."

"You mean, the Soul Reaver has..." Upon hearing the news, Edward was shocked and looked a little surprised.

"Yes, but he seems to have left here.

The barriers around the city have disappeared.

We might as well leave here first." Li Nosia nodded, with a somewhat melancholy look in her eyes.

"Understood.

But before that, tell me, what is your name?" Edward did not leave in a hurry, but instead leaned on the big tree beside him leisurely and said.

"You, what do you mean?" Li Nosia raised her head and looked at Edward, her eyes full of resentment.

But this look had a different meaning to Edward.

"nothing.

I'm just a little curious and want to ask." Edward shook his index finger, and then said calmly, "But I still want to tell you, it is very shameless to use other people's bodies to do such things."

Edward's words obviously made Li Nosia feel unhappy, and there was a solemn look on her face.

After a moment, she suddenly burst out laughing, but what frightened Edward was that although the laughter was coming from her mouth, the sound had completely changed.

It was completely different from Li Nosia's magnetic voice. It sounded more like a demonic voice coming from the abyss.

"It's funny that you can actually see that.

The minds of you humans are indeed much more complicated than those of simple elves." The voice paused for a while and then continued to ask, "Can you tell me how you suspected her? My suggestion control is obviously good.

It's perfect, even she didn't notice it at all."

"That's because you overestimate yourself." Edward shook his head and said, "You are too confident, so confident that you think you can easily devour a high-level elemental elf.

Yes, you did it, but she still used her own power to leave clues at the last moment."

Edward pointed with his thumb at the frozen tree of life behind him, and continued: "Have you noticed that the distribution of ice on that tree is very strange, and it was completely done deliberately?"

The Soul Reaver didn't speak, but looked at Edward with a sneer on his face, as if he was watching a show.

"Ellie finally told me when she was swallowed by you, asking me to pay attention to the appearance of the tree.

I never understood it until later when I discovered that the ice outside the tree looked like a complete feather.

In other words, the clue left by Elucina is that the person who attacked her was a winged elf."

When Edward said this, the Soul Reaver suddenly laughed loudly: "Hahaha, it's so funny.

Who would believe this kind of illogical reasoning if you tell it?"

"Yes, actually when I guessed this, I was very confused myself.

I also know that my own idea is far-fetched.

But I conclude that the problem is not just with Li Nosia, because in the end it is you who proves all this." As Edward spoke, his expression relaxed a little and seemed confident, "Every elf village you attacked,

Some traces of fighting can be found in the village.

This means that every time you devour a village's elves, you have to show up for some reason and kill the last person or possess his body.

And Silvermoon City is the last elven city. If you don't try to leave here, then there will be nothing left for you worth devouring.

Because I concluded that your target this time is me.

That’s why I’ll always be here waiting for you to show up.”

"Another point is that you underestimate Li Nosia too much.

Don't you know after spending so much time with her that she is definitely not the kind of person who would abandon her companions and escape alone?"

"Hmph..." For some reason, the Soul Reaver snorted inexplicably, with a hint of disdain on his face, but then his expression recovered and he said with interest, "It seems interesting.

Then why are you so confident that I will find you?"

"Because of my identity." Edward seemed more confident than before, "I am a human mercenary, and the top mercenary.

Using my body, you can easily blend into the human world and gain the trust of many people."

"Just kidding, then why didn't I choose your companion?"

"Because you can't possess the elemental elves, and Elma's identity is too sensitive in the human world.

Red is a man of few words and doesn't come into contact with many people.

And Ellie..." Edward paused and said, "There is no way you have the ability to occupy her body."

Edward's last sentence just stepped on the Soul Reaver's painful foot. In fact, although Edward was talking nonsense, the reality was exactly what he said.

He really had to choose a better person to possess now, and his original target was just as Edward expected, it was Ellie.

But the strange thing is that there is a power in that girl that he can't resist, and every time he tries, he ends up in failure.

In the end, I had no choice but to change the target to Edward.

"Human, although you are full of illogical guesses, I admit that what you say is true.

Okay, in that case, do you want to give up your body yourself or let me do it myself?" At this time, Li Nosia suddenly trembled, and then her whole body became so soft that she collapsed on the ground.

When her wings came out, a thick black mist slowly emerged, and soon a humanoid figure covered with bandages all over his body, including his face, appeared in front of Edward.

"Don't worry, there won't be any pain when you're pregnant, and you'll still be the same person you usually are.

I will only control your body when needed.

Of course, I will help you wipe all this memory clean." The Soul Reaver sneered and walked slowly towards Edward.

But before the Soul Reaver could take a few steps, a dazzling light like the sun suddenly emanated from the sword in Edward's hand.

Facing the dazzling light, the Soul Reaver seemed a little scared and immediately took a few steps away.

Only then did he notice that the appearance of the sword in Edward's hand had undergone earth-shaking changes.

The originally silver sword had now turned into a golden single-edged sword, and the light that he hated most was emanating from that sword.

"If you want my body, you must defeat me first." Edward said calmly, waving the mighty Tianlong Sword in his hand that had turned into a sword of light.

"Oh? Interesting guy." The Soul Reaver was just slightly stunned by Edward's reaction, and then showed an expression of confusion, "In that case, let me learn a lesson."

As he spoke, a black mist was seen quickly emanating from the Soul Reaver's body, wrapping the Soul Reaver within it.

When the fog cleared, a huge scythe with cold light appeared in the hands of the Soul Reaver, and a pair of black armor appeared on his body.

Behind the Soul Reaver, a pair of black bone wings slowly stretched out.
