Whispering Verse

Chapter 2802 Their respective enemies

When the first bell after twelve o'clock rang in the side tower of the Golden Concert Hall (note), most of the sleeping citizens did not know what would happen tonight.

In the long and dark corridor of the club, a lady in an ice blue dress reached out and pushed open a closed door. The lady standing at the window looking at the moon also turned around at this moment. she.

Her eyes looked at the stranger who appeared at the door with great interest, and she uttered a very artificial and pretentious "Oh~" tone of voice, and then with a bang~ she unfolded the fan in her hand to cover the lower half of her face, letting The moonlight can only illuminate part of the upper half of the face:

“Although it’s not what I thought, but——”

The rising temperature caused the air in the room to twist, and the eyes that suddenly turned red made the beautiful face become distorted:

"Believers of the God of Winter, I always kill every one I see (devil's language)."

In the ruins of the deserted village in the northwest of the city, as the flames flashed past, the figure of the nun walking alone here turned into a shadow and disappeared under the moonlight.

In the burning village maintained by the power of the relics, when the resentful ghost crawling in the center of the village looked at the entrance of the village as if feeling something in the fire, what he saw was that his body was covered with fiery red cracks, and he was holding a black sickle in one hand. A nun holding a flaming sword in one hand was walking toward it.

The flames spontaneously avoided the nun wearing the silver eyepatch. As she gradually raised her head, the dense lines on the eyepatch lit up one by one like flowing water.

Feeling the instinctive threat, the "Ghost of Resentment" jumped high into the air, and then suddenly fell in the direction of the nun.

It was only when it landed that it discovered that the surrounding flames were gradually extinguished, and the ground beneath its feet was no longer the earth that had been baked for hundreds of years, but dark and cold waters. The light of the dark moon shone from behind the resentment, and at the same time, there was a slight sigh from the nun.

Deep in the jungle, the doctor, who was walking alone in the darkness, picked off the leaves from his hair, closed his eyes and listened to the sound of the wind before moving on.

After pushing aside the bushes, he stopped and raised his head, looking at the huge black creature walking silently in the forest in front of him. Even with his current level of perception, when he saw the other party's appearance, he still immediately thought it was part of the forest, not a walking giant.

"Don't you see me?"

The doctor shouted loudly in the silent forest, and the silent giant stopped. As it opened its eyes, all the forest land it glanced over was ignited by fire.

The fire thus illuminated the doctor, and also illuminated the monster with antlers, horse hooves, a tiger's body, a leopard's tail, an ox's face, monkey's ears, and human hands, and carrying a huge round log on its shoulders. The red eyes failed to ignite the doctor, because the moment the doctor was looked at, he was enveloped in a darkness deeper than that night.

Then a huge shadow spread deep in the forest, and even the flames could be swallowed by the darkness.

Viewed from above, the black sphere enveloped this part of the forest, and inside the sphere, flames and darkness were intertwined, silent and unknown.

In the northern part of the Vista Woodland, the black scabbard of the [Edgeless Blade] parted the grass, and then Shade suddenly stopped. Visibility was poor in the dark forest, but he still relied on his dark vision to see the young people standing stiffly in front.

These people seemed to be the "lucky ones" who came to camp here with George Conte. At this time, their faces were pale and their bodies were stiff. After being watched by Shade, everyone's head suddenly burned with flames, followed by their limbs and even their whole body.

Amidst the terrifying screams of "Ah~", the flaming corpses rushed toward Shade one after another, and exploded directly on the spot with a loud bang after approaching Shade.

[Edgeless Blade] Although it looks like a scabbard, it can also be regarded as a sword without an edge. Shade inserted it under his feet, and the golden shield immediately flowed and unfolded, continuously making ripples while withstanding the explosions one after another.

The continuous explosions did not spread very far, and only frightened the birds resting here.

Of course they couldn't stop Shade, and when the somewhat embarrassed Shade pushed aside the last patch of grass and stepped out of the darkness into the light of the fire, there were only people waiting for him in the forest.

There was no fire here, just a bonfire lighting up the ruins in the forest. The luggage was scattered all over the ruins, and the owners of the luggage had even blown up their bodies.

As for the ruins themselves, apart from the masonry on the ground and some low walls standing around, only the huge stone arch directly opposite Shade is still standing.

In late autumn, the surrounding trees are already bare, but the arch is still covered with green vines and moss. George Kant was standing under the arch at this time, with his hands behind his back facing the bonfire. He didn't turn around until he heard Shade's footsteps.

The originally handsome young man's eyes had now turned red, and a few sparks appeared on his normally normal yellow hair. He was not surprised at all by Sha De's arrival. From the group of people who just "greeted" Sha De, they knew that he had been prepared for it.

"I thought I had hidden it very well. I even made a deal with the lady in the Lake of Love, asking her not to reveal my identity to anyone for the time being. I thought there would be no problem if I appeared as a victim. , but how on earth did you see through my identity, witcher?"

Rather than Shade coming to find George Kant, it was more like the other party was waiting for Shade's arrival:

"How about we trade answers for answers."

Shade said, although it was a bit unexpected, he would not retreat immediately.

He stood at the bright edge of the campfire:

"How do you know that I will come to you tonight?"

The flames in George Kant's eyes had already cracked the corners of his eyes. Centered on the two eyes, the cracks in the skin of his face seemed to explode his entire face:

"Isn't this a very simple question? Any plans you carry out in this woodland cannot escape the detection of the woodland itself. Although I don't know about your plans that are far away from the woodland, I know that you will appear tonight This is enough."

It took the initiative to answer the question, and Shade also took the initiative to answer the question:

"You shouldn't have contact with me. Do you remember our encounter before the Harvest Festival concert? I have a special way to sense your odor at close range."

As he spoke, he raised his left hand wearing the [Demon Hunting Seal] and shook it. This was of course not a lie, it was just to see if the other party could understand it.

Then the devil under the arch nodded suddenly:

"This can be considered an oversight on my part. We are so far away from the Third Age now that even I have somewhat forgotten the skills of you demon hunters.

The hunter from a hundred years ago used his soul to summon the relic to seal me; the hunter from thirty years ago seriously injured my core and prevented me from actively gathering the split body; and then you now, even if I pretended to be so good, you actually can be recognized. Hunter, hunter, our entanglement has lasted for tens of thousands of years. Even this world has become different from the past, but our encounter with you remains the same. "

His eyes seemed to be on fire, and his entire face was covered with cracks of flames. Its hair also changed from yellow to a red that was full of sparks, and its voice when speaking unknowingly echoed in the empty forest:

"Do you know where this is?"

It suddenly asked an irrelevant question. Shade, who was standing in front of the bonfire, looked around with his peripheral vision. The remaining traces of the ruins were not very identifiable. His map did not even indicate that this place was an ancient ruin.

It’s just that the stone arch under the moon looked more and more strange at this moment, and there were even flame cracks on George Kant’s body surface. But this is different from the "embers of the first fire" state of Shade and Sister, because while flame cracks appear on the demon's body, its skin is also darkening, so that the skin is like the color of magma seeping through the gaps in obsidian.

Shade doesn't know where this is:

"I don't know, are there temple ruins?"

"Yes yes."

It opened its hand toward the bonfire in front of it, and the flames surged toward its dark palm until it formed a flaming sword in its hand.

Shade took out the "Exorcism Potion" that had been prepared, shook the water bag vigorously, and allowed the layered "Moonlight Water" and "Holy Water" to fully mix with it, and then directed the water out to wrap it up The scabbard of the [Edgeless Blade].

"Even the powerful old gods left one by one in the fifth era, but as this starry sky shines in the sixth era, I am still here."

The flames around it gradually spread to the arch behind it, first igniting the green leaves and vines clinging to the arch. As they withered and turned yellow in the flames, they ignited the entire door.

The power of whispers and blasphemy made the night darker, but the flames exploding on George Kant illuminated the two people at this moment:

"Perhaps you also know that there is a real ancient being who has survived from the first era in this woodland. He is very powerful, very powerful. Fortunately, that ancient being is not hostile to me. When I help it do what After doing some things, I also gained its power.

Originally, I couldn't use this arch built by the believers of the old gods, but with that power, even I could open it for a moment. "

The ignited stone pillars of the arch eventually created a vortex of flames inside the empty arch. From the whirlpool, the red high-heeled shoes stepped out first, followed by Mrs. Shatara, who covered the lower half of her face with a flaming feather fan and walked out with a smile:

"Good evening, young man." (Devil's language)

PS: Little knowledge, a big clock usually strikes the hour a number of times on the hour, such as seven strikes at seven o'clock and twelve strikes at twelve o'clock. But it only knocks once at half o'clock, so the first knock after twelve o'clock is not exactly one o'clock, but half past twelve.

I remember when I was in elementary school, I was asked this kind of question in math questions.
