Wasteland Echoer

"It hurts." Wright gasped and used his left hand to press hard on the right side of his chest where blood was constantly pouring out, enduring the bone-piercing pain.

His body was shaking uncontrollably, but the scarlet in his eyes was a little more intense. From ruby-like eyes, he turned into a gargoyle-like, like a purgatory demon, with the scarlet completely occupying the pupils and the whites of his eyes. human state.

A few seconds later, as the red magic source power naturally gathered towards the wound, Wright discovered that the sticky blood stains on his hands and clothes had turned into countless crimson particles, accompanied by the strong wind blowing under the dark clouds. It flew into the sky in a spiral shape and disappeared into the darkness.

Moreover, his wounds are growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the flesh tissue is recovering layer by layer, first covering the bones, then the muscles, and finally the skin.

When the last piece of skin was closed, Wright found that his chest was as intact as ever, as if it had never been hurt before, with not even the most indifferent mark left.

"The power of the red magic source... is indeed mysterious and extraordinary, possessing power close to that of a god. Such repair ability cannot be achieved by technology. Even if the empire develops such a terrible potion, the side effects will probably make people miserable. However, , this kind of power...I remember the first time I came to this world. When I woke up in the city of Sugla, I had a fatal wound on my chest caused by a gunshot. That wound...it seemed to take two or three days to recover as before. Could it be that during this period? Combat, coupled with the improvement of my order, and being strengthened by the Lost Ones of the Blood Tribe...the Dark Night Church group through the 'banquet', this power...has evolved?"

He subconsciously stroked the wound across his chest. There was no sticky feeling anymore. The skin was firm and a little strangely smooth.

Before he could recover from the shock, Wright was attracted by a sound similar to the breaking of glass objects.

Looking down, the silver-white tactical armor attached to his body instantly turned into countless irregular fragments. Following a burst of pale white air, he flew to the distance outside the altar, flew over the cliff, and escaped into the endless abyss. middle.

"Although I don't know why the magician's robe turned into tactical armor, you should have completed your mission. Haha, I will also complete my mission." Wright sighed with emotion and took two steps forward. , approached "Sinais" who was lying on the ground, squirming and trying to get up.

At this moment, he no longer had the emotion called "fear" in his heart, he was no longer afraid of fear itself, and everything in the world no longer frightened him.

The dull groan of "Sinais" kept echoing in his ears. The crazy and suffocating dark power continued to escape to the surroundings. The sizzling arc worked hard, trying to prove that "Sinais" was still tenacious and powerful. With strong vitality, the viscous donated blood mixed with pus sprayed out intermittently, emitting a disgusting smell of death.

But Wright was not afraid at all. He just picked her up gently and landed on "Sinais"'s shoulders as lightly as a fallen leaf.

Immediately afterwards, "Sinais" seemed to be exhausted, as if he didn't want to endure the endless torture of the body and mind of a monster, and fell to the ground.

"'Dark Emblem', is it damaged?" Wright looked at the emblem with spider web-like cracks on "Sinais"'s forehead and wondered.

He stretched out his right hand with a faint blush, ready to pick up the coat of arms and examine it carefully.

But as soon as the tip of the index finger came into contact, the "Dark Crest" instantly turned into powder and disappeared in an instant, leaving a hole on "Sinais"'s forehead where the internal brain tissue could be seen.

"Its power is exhausted." Fansuo's childish voice appeared in Wright's ears along with his unhurried footsteps.

"It's just a pity." Fansuo stepped onto the altar and said in a regretful tone:

"His Royal Highness Ifant said that if 'Sinais' dies, he will not be sad. After all, Kaigu's body has no value at all, but this coat of arms is really a pity. It is made of more than a thousand heartless human hearts. The burning liquid at the core of the body, the black blood extracted from the arteries of the lost person in a state of extreme fear, plus the flesh of the nearly extinct eyeball monster 'Luca' that grows in the dark realm, as well as the deep-sea source fish, The black-tailed flower is made from two creatures that are watered by the dark magic power all year round.

Wright, you can't pick it up, because as long as the host's life force drops to less than 10%, that is, it is dying and cannot survive for an hour, it will self-destruct and follow the host's soul to escape to hell. There was a legend in the Second Age that magicians who used the power of darkness could not ascend to heaven. Their souls had adapted to the darkness. If they came into contact with the light, they would be burned and instantly turned to ashes. "

"So, according to what you said, Sinais is about to die, right? Then why hasn't it returned to normal here? Is it the sunny state like we are in a sea of ​​sunflowers?" Wright asked doubtfully.

"You have to kill him with your own hands first, and then take out the 'Eye of the Bright Night'. While you were fighting just now, I seemed to remember some distant memories. I remember that that year was in the extremely cold realm of the Crusted Empire, close to the big ice The Demonic City on the edge of the layer, the city called 'Mog Yaresetsk' by the Crusted Empire, I heard a little bit of information about it." Fansuo made a thoughtful expression and paused. After a pause, he said:

"Hmm..., the key to the 'Eye of the Bright Night' seems to be the switching between the two states of 'light' and 'night'. If you want to move from light to night, you must exhaust all the power of light, such as explosions, just like just now That’s what we’ve seen. To have the opposite effect, you need to first experience the ultimate darkness.”

"I seem to understand a little bit." Wright said, waving two "Touches of Darkness" and aiming the sharpest part at the top of "Sinais" at the neck.

In the lightning flash, black shadows flashed. "Sinais" did not match its huge body, and no part of it could be seen to be human. The head suddenly separated from the neck, fell to the ground, rolled several times, and let out a burst of noise. After a small, joyful laugh like relief, he finally lost his life.

"What should we do now?" Wright asked Fanso, hoping to get more tips.

However, Fansuo made a standard Western-style shrug, waved his hands, blinked his eyes, and said slightly helplessly:

"I don't know where they placed the 'Eye of the Bright Night' in the body of 'Sinais', but you can recall the 'fragments' I just told you and try to understand it."

"'Just a few words'?" Wright knelt down on one knee and recalled:

"The long cold nightclub has gone away... The blazing sun has gone away from the place where Liyue fell. Layers of cages trap the pupils that see through everything... Only by peeling away the illusion... can we see the reality. Layers of cages... ...Trapped pupils... Only by peeling away the illusion can you see the reality... Peel away the illusion... Peel away the illusion?"

Pictures composed of words in the Zinetian language suddenly appeared in Wright's mind. They kept colliding and changing positions in Wright's mind.

Suddenly, as if an electric current ran through Wright's brain, a sense of transparency passed through him, and he immediately got the correct explanation of this passage.

"I have to peel away the illusion to see the 'Eye of the Bright Night'. Since this sequential monster needs a carrier to operate, then it must be in the deepest part of the carrier and receive the strictest protection. In other words, he is in 'Sinais' 'The deepest part of my body needs to be peeled like an onion."

As he spoke, Wright jumped to the side, his body shaking violently, and all six "Touches of Dark Enchantment" were activated.

Immediately afterwards, it waved its tentacles and peeled off the first layer of tough skin on "Sinais"'s back like peeling a potato.

A whole piece of "leather" with black velvet was completely cut off by Wright in an instant, and the scarlet liquid splashed outwards, all falling on the already very dirty ground in the center of the altar.

He did not see the so-called "Eye of the Bright Night", but he was not disappointed. This was expected.

Then, he threw the "leather" out of the altar like throwing away garbage, and directed his tentacles to slice off the broken body of "Sinais" for the second time.

This time, fine bones mixed with minced meat were flying in the air of the altar with the airflow, and the diffuse fishy smell filled the dark and crimson space.

Holding back the feeling of stomach acid, Wright chose to insert six tentacles into the middle of the remaining part of "Sinais"'s back at the same time. With a high-pitched roar, Wright waved the tentacles and pulled them outward.

Suddenly, the body of "Sinais" finally became fragmented, exploding into countless larger pieces like a puzzle.

Finally, a crystal-like object wrapped in dim yellow light and with a diamond-shaped front emerged from Wright's tentacles and gradually rose into the air of the altar, nearly ten meters above the ground.

"Is that the 'Eye of the Bright Night', Fansuo?" Wright turned around and said in a questioning tone, but it was difficult to conceal the strong excitement from his heart.

After getting Fansuo's nod of agreement, Wright withdrew all his tentacles, put his right hand on the ground, contracted his calf muscles, jumped up suddenly, grabbed the "Eye of the Bright Night" in the air with a capable posture, and landed heavily. In front of Fansuo.

Lowering his head and opening his palm, Wright observed that the "Eye of the Bright Night" looked like a pendant, about half the size of a palm. In the middle of the rhombus-shaped area on the front is an oval-shaped metal that is not connected to the surrounding area, like a human eyeball. Its front is engraved with a complex sun pattern, and its back is a more complex moon totem. Maybe that's where it got its name, Wright thought.

"How to use it, Fansuo. How can it 'produce the opposite effect' and return to the light state?" After observing, Wright held the "Eye of the Bright Night" and placed it in front of Fansuo's eyes and asked.

"Try pouring in the magic source power, your red magic source power."

"good!"

Without any hesitation, Wright turned his back and poured all the remaining magic power in his body into the "Eye of the Bright Night".

In an instant, a dark purple hurricane appeared around his body. The light of the "Eye of the Bright Night" suddenly became intense, and its body became hot.

Then, the dark clouds covering the sky began to surge and flow, and the strong wind began to blow everything in the altar.

In less than half a minute, "Sinais"'s broken body was blown into the abyss, and finally disappeared completely.

The electric current that was constantly jumping in the clouds seemed to have been strengthened like never before and began to fall into the altar.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The sound of electric current mixed with the sound of breaking rocks reached Wright's ears. Through the hurricane, Wright could vaguely see with the power of the red magic source that the gravel on the edge of the altar was being beaten into even finer pieces, exploding and splashing continuously.

After about another minute or two, he heard the sound of plants growing rapidly.

Pure black vines sprouted upwards from the base of the altar, but they seemed to only grow to a height of two or three meters before stopping in an instant and not continuing.

Amid the constant sounds of wind, lightning strikes, and shattering sounds, Wright actually heard the clear singing voice of a girl.

Gradually, all the surrounding "noise" disappeared, and the singing voice seemed to absorb other sounds and became the only one in the altar.

"I wake up in the eternal night."

"I am pursuing the truth in the eternity of mystery."

"I was driven by destiny."

“The apocalypse needs an end.”

“New life needs to come.”

"The steam never stops running."

"I will never stop checking your steps!"

Listening to the extremely sweet and graceful songs sung in Kruse German, Wright seemed to feel like he was in a heaven filled with light.

Gradually, he actually saw the purple hurricane surrounding him dissipate, and golden light penetrated the dark sky.

It started as a dot, and then became a continuous line of incandescent light.

The dark clouds suddenly dissipated, and the long, pure black night sky was instantly replaced by the bright, hopeful day.

Within a few seconds, the lightning disappeared, the bright red blood disappeared, and the frightening crimson color also disappeared.

The "Eye of the Bright Night" emitting golden light fell back into Wright's palm.

Everything became extremely bright, and everything returned to the light.

The rustling sound of growth began to echo in Wright's ears. He looked down and saw that at some point, the altar was already filled with low sunflowers looking toward the sun.

At the same time, a simple stone door ten meters high appeared in the center of the altar, accompanied by a magnificent radiance like the ever-changing morning glow, right in front of Wright's sight.

A long-lost, sincere smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but he was not intoxicated in the new world of light, nor was he in a hurry to surge the red magic power to open the giant door.

He knew that the sound just now was probably the "confused song". It must have been the song that resonated with his red magic source power, and that opened the stone door to the real final step of the "Daughter of Tool Yuan" divine realm.

The person singing the song must be one of the people who fought with "Sinais" in the altar just now.

They are Fansuo's teammates, and Fansuo has been helping him during this battle, guiding him into the final divine realm. He still needs the help of these "friends".

With a smile on his lips, he turned around to look for a few people, but he saw the pure black vines he had just seen through the hurricane.

But at the top of the vines hung four tilted heads, with blood dripping from the corners of their mouths, and bodies that had lost vital signs.

One is a middle-aged man in a suit and leather tie, one is a blond girl wearing a silk gauze dress who looks like Princess Crusted, and the other is a young man with red hair, wide eyes and a very fearful expression.

The top one is the two-meter-five-meter-tall "half-monster body" that was just knocked down by the black ray of "Sinais"!

With his eyes flickering and floating, Wright saw Fansuo struggling at the bottom of the vine.

The vines stained scarlet by blood had penetrated his dimmed semi-mechanical heart, and blood could not stop pouring out of his mouth.

Seeing Wright's eyes that had turned pure black, he showed a happy smile, held back the surging blood, and said intermittently:

"Aaron... Ina... Oliver, and... and Yato who turned into a monster... became the nourishment to open... open the stone door. Including me... too, I also hope... I also hope for a war The end...the end of the Wasteland Era! I have no regrets...this is...this is the fate sent down by the Creator. Le...Lite, entering His...god domain, is destined to need...loneliness. I just...forgot Let me tell you, [Order]...is destined to be...a lonely existence."
