Song of Time – Dusk Awakening Verse

The four-person team shrank in the dark and exchanged glances.

The figure entwined with black energy in the beam of light ahead is not clear, but only from the power he can transform monsters at will is not to be underestimated, not to mention, there are countless unkillable black ball monsters on the side...

Rhea glanced at the passageway when she came, and a retreat was in her heart. This mission was only an advance investigation, and they did not use them to solve the swamp mystery by themselves. As long as they brought back the news of the faceless stranger, it was already a great breakthrough. She was about to make a gesture of retreat with her companions, suddenly she was in a daze, and a desire to walk into the beam of light appeared, but she was overcome by her powerful self-control in an instant, and a Ji Ling woke up.

Something is wrong! She was horrified, and then looked around at her companions. The two teenagers were already at a loss. They didn't know what they were thinking. Only the Great Swordsman remained silent, his eyes still sharp as sharp, and seemed unaffected. She tightly grasped the hands of Yuno and Leah, the ice power was fleeting, and the extremely cold temperature caused them to shake a few times, and they both woke up.

This place is really weird and should not stay for long. She cast a wink at Emmon and did not dare to delay for a while. As soon as she turned around with the teenagers, she heard the rumbling roar from the depths of the cave in front of her, like a railcar roaring, and Like ten thousand beasts rushing, but in this narrow crypt, I'm afraid there is only one possibility-the earth-rolling dragon is coming.

Rhea listened to the thunder in the ground getting louder and louder, grabbed the potion bottle in Yuno's hand, and opened the bottle with her thumb. The stench of corruption suddenly filled the entire passage and spread around with the swaying wind.

The two young men shrank behind the swordsman and covered their noses with their sleeves. Their faces were extremely curious and slightly frightened. They stared at the depths of the fluorescently lit passage without blinking. The roar came closer and closer, and the drums rang in everyone's hearts, urging people's heartbeat to speed up, but the monster suddenly stopped at the moment when it was about to break out of the wall, and let out a low and angry roar.

Following the swaying of the mountain, the rock wall at the end of the passage was cracked, and the underground monster that only heard its name finally slowly emerged. Under the meager fluorescence, everyone could see it blurry, but it was enough to distinguish its huge conical head and its huge columnar body that was barely exposed.

Emmon stood facing the monster from where the monster came from and erected his horizontal sword, his brows were as flat as ever. Seeing the ground-growing figure appeared, he unexpectedly patted the girl's engineering glasses with his backhand, and two dazzling white lights lit up, fully showing the appearance of the monster. in front of.

This monster doesn't look like a natural species at all. Its pointed head is almost a screw awl made of alloy. It can't see the nostrils, mouth, or organs like eyes. The small body exposed at the crack in the rock wall was covered with armor-like smooth scales, and under the white light, it reflected colorful bright spots, looking like the sky with no flaws.

"Invisible." The Great Swordsman stopped Rhea, who habitually wanted to block the light in a start, and pointed to the head of the Dragon.

Only then did the female archer stop her hand, staring at the front and turning her head non-stop. The monster who seemed to be very irritable but did not dare to step forward, squeezed the bottle of smelly mushroom in her hand, her face was uncertain: "It doesn't have a nose!? What? Are you afraid of bad smells?"

"There are small holes at the back of the head, and the scales are hidden." Emmon said a long sentence, and pressed Gloria, who was poking her head behind her back to the wall.

"What should I do now..." Yuno was already reluctant to cover his nose, wiped his sweaty hands on the cloak, and frowned as he looked at the blocked passage. Just now when he was in a trance, he suddenly felt an impulse to go home immediately. Seeing that the passage was occupied by the monster, he felt even more uncomfortable and an uncontrollable irritability.

"Try to get rid of it..." Rhea groaned and raised the stinky mushroom bottle, and moved a few steps forward. The giant beast trembles and wants to retract, but it stiffens for an instant, as if it is being stimulated. , Began to frantically beat the surrounding rock walls. The entire cave trembles for its majestic power, and the rock formations are constantly cracking under the interaction of punctures and blows. The debris accumulates higher and higher, and the passage is about to be blocked.

Everyone tried their best to dodge in the rain of gravel, and was gradually forced out of the corner. It didn't take long for the cave to be completely blocked, and the path was no longer retreat. They could only bite the bullet and face the strange figure under the beam of light.

"Welcome, welcome, the home is a bit simple, please don't take offense..." The black-robed weirdos have been watching silently until now, seeing their figures reappear in the hall before eagerly stretching out their hands, and slightly ripples appear on their bare faces, it seems Very emotional.

He snapped his fingers while he was speaking, and the deafening thumping sound in the passage stopped immediately. As the rumbling sliding noise sounded again, it gradually became lighter. Everyone understood that the monster had been driven away following the instructions.

He can drive this terrifying behemoth! ? Rhea stared at the strange man with a chill in her heart. At this moment when the situation was not good, she suddenly recalled all the strange things after entering the fortress: the silent cubs discharged from the cave in the long queue, quiet and silent, and there was no sign of monster activity. The ruins, the black ball army that suddenly appeared and disappeared, the self who easily fell into the state of memory, and Gloria who just went crazy...

All these weird things flashed through her mind, and brought up a suspicion that made her even more horrified: for so many years, no one has ever been able to know the situation of the fortress, but they actually entered it so easily, and more Nothing feels wrong, this in itself... is very weird!

She was immersed in her chaotic thoughts and couldn't extricate herself, but the madman talked to herself nonchalantly: "By the way, we should introduce ourselves first... You can call us, Phallus Faceless, um, me I personally prefer to be called the faceless, but obviously, my brothers have their own preferences..."

"What are you talking about with them! Get them here! Quick! I can't wait!" The angry tone had long been impatient, and interrupted him with a roar, and wanted to do it immediately.

"Don't worry... Don't you feel bored after being bored for so long? It's rare for someone to come to visit, can't you just be quiet for a while?" The plain tone lowered his head and sighed, feeling helpless to this impatient guy.

"Our failed works have been seen, so sad, let them disappear..." The sad tone also echoed the agreement, expressing his distress without reservation.

"Hey, I really like them, stay with them for a while, oh yes, I like the name Lake!" The happy tone is always inconsistent with anger, and he laughed and opposed.

After two to two, the situation became stable again. The Faceless Geek nodded in satisfaction, spreading his hands and jokingly said: "Too many brothers always have troubles of this and that kind. Well, you guys don't look like brothers and sisters, right?" The facial features of the swordsman who was standing at the end of the team paused, turned to the female craftsman who was only on his chest, and nodded in self-righteousness.

No one in the team answered. The two teenagers stood silently at the entrance hand in hand, watching the Faceless Man talking to himself, and they were all stunned: Is this guy pretending to be crazy, or is he really schizophrenic? The Great Swordsman ignored what the weird said. He swung his sword twice on the ground like a demonstration. He glanced at the deep cracks brought out by the red light, then turned off the shiny glasses on the girl's head, and held the hilt again. Stand tall and solemn, no more extra moves.

Rhea was attracted by the sound of the wind from these two slashings, and returned to God in a flash, still having no bottom in her heart. She bit her lower lip, glanced at the guy who claimed to be the Faceless, took a deep breath and barely stabilized her mind, sealed the piston at the mouth of the potion bottle in her hand, and handed it back to Yuno's hand-the land dragon was already When it retreats, this precious life-saving straw should be stored properly in case of emergency.

The situation facing the team is worse than it looks. If everything is a trap set by the weirdo, what is the purpose? He was unconscious while talking, but he could manipulate the terrifying monsters. What kind of **** was he trying to hide in the ruins of this fortress?

Since the other party doesn't seem to want to do it right away, you might as well take advantage of the situation to find out... Thinking like this, she put on a stiff smile on her face, and nodded to the faceless person: "It's rude, sir, our first visit. I met you here... for a while, please forgive me."

"It's okay, we are all very hospitable, and you are welcome to come at any time." When the weird saw her talking, his face trembled with joy, and even rubbed the black mist condensed hands to meet him, but The moment he touched the edge of the beam of light, he retracted it like an electric shock.

Rhea calmly watched this scene in his eyes and moved in his heart, can't this guy get out of the beam of light? She still smiled politely, and glanced at the black ball monsters stacked around the aperture, pretending to be surprised: "Your Excellency...the little pets are really funny, I don't know where I got them?"

"Ah, these little guys are our treasures. They are not pets. They are more like a part of our body, an extension, an...indescribable existence." The Faceless Man said this with great interest. Guided a black ball, held it in his hand and kept caressing, "If we didn't have them, we would be lonely to death in this boring cave..."

Part of the body, it’s no wonder that he would know our whereabouts... Rhea exchanged glances with her friends, especially staring at the girl, turning her face back and smiling nonchalantly: "This cave is really boring... Your Excellency How long have you lived here? Haven't thought of going out to see?"

"How long have you stayed...how long, I can't remember..." He lowered his head in thought, and then suddenly yelled, "Idiot, what are you talking about! If you can go out, you can get these guys to come here to run wild!?"

The angry tone was trembling all over, and he raised his head and continued to roar: "Listen to me, don't even think about leaving since you are here! Obedient, it will make your death more comfortable!"

This empty threat did not cause any reaction from the adventure team, but made the calm tone even more embarrassing: "What are you talking about... Don't listen to his nonsense, we are complete pacifists, long live peace..."

"Then why are you destroying our fortress!?" The little doctor was restless in his heart. Hearing this lie, he suddenly became angry from his heart and couldn't help but clenched his fists and asked loudly.

"Absolutely not, absolutely not." The Faceless Man waved his hand again and again. "When we first came here, it was in ruins. It was just a temporary shelter."

what? Isn't he the culprit of the fortress disaster? Yuno thought of the golden light he saw at the last moment, hesitated, bowed his head and said nothing. Rhea didn't believe in the words of the weird man. She kept her eyes on her mind and continued to ask: "Since your Excellency believes in peace, why do you want to keep us here?"

"Isn't it really impossible? You have just seen that our experiment has reached a bottleneck, and we urgently need more...help." The stranger rubbed his palms gently, "If you are willing to cooperate, I can guarantee that the experiment After completion, I will send you back safely."

More help... Has anyone been here before us? The female archer thought of the strangeness of the guild’s sudden release of the mission, and she moved in her heart: "So, your Excellency has asked other people for help?"

"Of course of course, but unfortunately there are not many guests who can come here, and they are unwilling to cooperate. It is really embarrassing..."

It seems that the guild did send someone to investigate, but their final result is not difficult to guess... Rhea is now more cautious, unloading the heavy sniper rifle from her back and handing it to Gloria, and then put it in her pocket. Touched out two sonic bombs without showing a trace-the faceless man had a pale face, and he didn't know whether the flash bomb would work, perhaps he would be more sensitive to the sound. She cast a wink at Emmon, then turned her head and smiled and asked, "I wonder how you can help your Excellency?"

"It's very simple, as long as everyone focuses on certain special emotions according to our requirements." Seeing her willing to agree, the faceless person rubbed his hands non-stop, covered in mist, and seemed extremely anxious.

"Emotions?" Everyone couldn't help but stunned. The scene of the bird-like monster being born from the black fog is still imprinted in his mind. From beginning to end, only the black light fog and the black ball monster are merging and changing. What does this so-called emotion mean?

"Yes, just like just now, we wouldn't be able to finish that work without the greed that was constantly rising in this lady's heart." The Faceless Man suddenly pointed to Gloria, making her inexplicable.

"Me?" The girl had just carried the gun, nodded her nose, her eyes were blank, and then turned into starry anger, "What are you talking about? What greed! Hey, it's too much!"

"I'm very sorry, you don't seem to like this rhetoric too much? Then, it can also be called desire. Haha, this endless desire exists for all intelligent creatures. You don't need to feel embarrassed at all." The black robe weird trembled again. Facing his face, bowed to apologize.

Why is the girl willing to suffer? She stepped forward angrily and wanted to argue, but was pulled back behind Eamon by Rhea's detective, and asked calmly, "Your Excellency, are these monsters all composed of emotions?"

"It's just that, the stronger and purer emotions are, the more effective they can be. It's just a pity that there are very few emotions we have at present, and very few are satisfactory..."

The four-person squad looked at each other and couldn't hide their surprise. The strange monsters that set off countless blood and blood were actually produced by human emotions? With that said, if the source of these emotions can be cut off, will all monsters be unable to continue to exist? Everyone could not help but feel excited when thinking of this snack, and refocused their gaze on the source of everything-the Faceless Man. Now that he has arrived here, no matter what, try to see if this guy can be eliminated!

Everyone looked different and thought hard about countermeasures. In order to delay time, Rhea continued to ask questions with a smile: "If this is the case, we would be willing to cooperate with you, don't know what to do?"

"It's very simple. Each of you take this little guy. As long as you condense strong emotions in your brain, they will automatically sense..." The Faceless Man waved his hand and compared the black ball monster around him, his face glowing with white light. Tremor, "As long as it absorbs enough energy, it can replicate more companions, and finally pass it on to us, condense this power into a wonderful product..."

That's how it turns out, presumably just now Gloria must have been hungry for emotional energy carried by the black ball monsters at close range, so she couldn't stand the sudden madness. Even the moment I was in a trance just now was because of their influence... Rhea secretly guessed, pretending to be exclaimed: "It's amazing, if I take the liberty to ask, what is the emotion of the behemoth just now? "

"That is one of our most outstanding works so far. It is very rare." The weird man raised his head and shook it gently, as if drinking sweet wine. "It is condensed by loyalty. This kind of emotion is very rare. We cost it. A lot of hard work, and of course the results are gratifying. It is very obedient and very powerful..."

Loyalty... Is it possible to drive at will? So can it be inferred that if it is a monster composed of other emotions, he cannot be called upon? The female archer felt a little more sure in her heart. Right now, this faceless weird was alone here and could not get out of the beam of light. No matter how she looked at it, she had a chance to take a shot! She signaled Emon Googou's finger and secretly squeezed the longbow to start the offensive.

"Can we start? Which guest is willing to try it first?" The Faceless Man seemed to have not noticed their little movements, urging them to experiment immediately.

"Well, why don't you let me... do it first!" Rhea calmly took two steps forward, taking advantage of her unpreparedness, taking the sonic boom in her hand and throwing it violently, the blue light of the magic longbow shone, and a few ice arrows Followed up and took the shiny face of the Faceless.

A burst of sound bursts and reverberates in the cave hall, like countless bells ringing at the same time, even if everyone is prepared, they are still humming in their ears. The Faceless Man at the center of the explosion did not seem to be affected at all. He still kept rubbing his hands, and his face did not fluctuate. A few ice arrows went straight through his body along with the sniper shell shot by Gloria, even a little bit. The ripples didn't sway, as if the person standing in front of me was just an illusion.

"It's a pity...I thought you were willing to cooperate..." The Faceless sighed weakly and snapped his fingers casually.

The sound of rumbling sliding came again, and dozens of large holes suddenly cracked on the top of the surrounding rock walls, and the awl-like head of the earth-rolling dragon was shaking slightly at each hole. It turned out that there was more than one giant beast that came with the roar just now. They lurked silently in the inner layer of the rock, and everyone's attention was all attracted by the faceless in the beam of light, and they were not found at all.

Rhea saw the sightless beasts still staying at the entrance of the cave to smell the smell. While the situation was not out of control, she tried her best to release large ice crystals around the beam of light, and successfully sealed the Faceless in it, but she was immediately entangled in it. The black mist around him like boiling water and oil was dispelled.

"Damn! I'm so angry, kill them! Quick!" This successful sneak attack provoked the opponent's raging anger, roaring in an angry tone to give instructions, and the behemoths immediately went out of the cave and attacked the group of four. Pounced.

If surrounded by these unmatched monsters, it would be really hard to get out! The female archer had already tested the opponent's powerful strength, and immediately called out "Retreat!", the blue light in her hand kept flashing, shooting ice arrows at the monsters, trying to slow their speed.

The little doctor nervously took out the stinky mushroom bottle and wanted to open it, but because of the sweaty hand, he tried to dial it several times, but the cork did not move. Seeing that the sharp head of the ground dragon was about to reach him, he gritted his teeth and threw the bottle to the ground. The glass bottle was knocked to pieces, and the smell of stinky mushrooms spurted out instantly, and several monsters nearby were smoked. He turned his head back into the hole.

Eamon swung his big sword and struck the cone head on the other side. The red light flashed. The invincible light of destruction only split a gap on the alloy-like surface, and then it flew in the faceless person. Recovered in the black mist. This monster was indeed invincible as legendary, but the Great Swordsman had expected this long ago, his complexion remained unchanged, and he slashed a few more swords to make it deflect his head. He immediately nodded and reached into his pocket. Put the spices into a half-covered scale on the monster's neck.

The terrible irritating smell spread rapidly along the breathing hole into the body, making the behemoth that is very sensitive to it painful. It kept shaking its head and slapped the cave wall, shaking the rocks and sand, and the same kind beside it. I was also forced to retreat by this indiscriminate collision, which gave the team a chance to survive.

"Follow me!" Emmen glowed red, and tried his best to swipe the giant sword diagonally at the crack just opened. The ground collapsed in response, revealing the regular threaded channel underneath. It turned out that he had already inspected it. A way out. Seeing that he was able to repel the invincible behemoth, Rhea secretly exclaimed and reacted even faster. He quickly bent over to ice-sealed the stinky mushroom and stuffed it into his pocket, put away the longbow, and held the two young men firmly with each other. The swordsman leaped into the cave and set out deep underground.

The ground-falling dragons also went into the ground and chased after each other. The stretched body was afraid that it would not be less than 100 meters. Only the one who was filled with spices and was so mad that it was uncontrollable was still rolling in twitching. The Faceless Man seemed to be indifferent to the departure of the prey, but silently watched it keep raising its hair and screaming in pain, until finally exhausted and limp on one side, the white paper face finally trembled.

"It's a pity... It's not easy to grow from that little to such a big age." He sighed in a calm tone and shook his head endlessly.

"It's all your fault! I told you to kill them a long time ago! It's better now, I will pay one for nothing! I didn't even catch anyone!" The angry tone was angered, and the brother's face sternly yelled.

"It's okay, it's okay...Only by making the line longer, will the bigger fish be hooked and we can have more choices..." He murmured in a calm tone, explaining his choice.

"I don't care about those! I'm so mad! Asking me to let them go! What a shame!"

"Don't worry... We played so well, they will definitely come back. When the time comes, whatever you do, I absolutely, will never say any more..." He said in a calm tone, his face trembling even more. There was a slight fluctuation, as if laughing, and as if silently admiring the future well-being.

The other two tones didn't speak, it seemed to be tired, and it seemed that they didn't want to engage in unnecessary quarrels. The Faceless One was silent for a long time. He easily walked through the beam of light to the side of the giant beast, stroking its smooth scaly body, as if reluctant to give up, but the black light appeared in his hand, and the behemoth instantly dissipated into black light and melted into the surroundings. Thick as ink flying in the mist.

"...Unexpectedly, loyalty has weaknesses. Once you can't execute the order, you will fall into self-exhaustion... I didn't expect it, I didn't expect..." He whispered to himself, turned back to the original position, and turned to the black who was waiting quietly. The ball monsters stretched out their hands.

The divine light once again shined in the cave hall, and with countless black **** that followed, another monster in the shape of a ground-rolling dragon quietly appeared. Only this time, its body size was countless times smaller than before, and a thick layer of folded scale armor was added to the breathing holes on both sides of the head, no more flaws.
