Chapter 109: Similar (Part 1)

Thales looked at the small red sword in his hand in a daze.

Even the little slippery head came up to him tremblingly and struggled to pull him up from the ground without realizing it.

The front of the world.

Is that the name?

The blood-red blade is extremely bright even under the dim moonlight.

Thales tried his best to sort out the thoughts in his brain, even forgetting the environment he was in now.

Is this sword a living thing?

If so, why was it motionless in Hei Jian's hand before?

If not, then what exactly is that voice...

Why does that voice that comes from the ear—no, more like from the bottom of my heart—resemble the experience of the chief priest of the Haoyue Temple when he prayed?

The moment he touched it, the burning sensation seeping out of his body reminded him of the scene when the magic energy "lost control". Is there any connection between them?

Also, "it" says: my blood brother. What does it mean?

"It" also said: It's been a long time.

Had he and this thing—a legendary anti-magic weapon—been seen before?

More and more questions emerged from Thales' thinking, but none of them had an answer.

It only made him more confused and confused.

"what have you done!"

Heijian's voice came from beside his ears, serious and sharp.

Thales was startled, came back to his senses, and unconsciously let go of his right hand.

Bang!

The small red sword in his hand fell to the ground.

Hei Jian struggled with his weak body and raised his upper body.

I don't know if it's because of emotional shock or physical injury, his face is very ugly, and a pair of sharp eyes are locked on Thales' face:

"Why,

Why did it suddenly work? "

Only then did Thales react. He looked at the small sword on the ground, took a deep breath, and looked up at the black sword.

"This..." The second prince squeezed out an awkward smile: "No...you know?"

Hei Jian's frown became tighter and tighter.

The little slippery head let out a "huh".

"Look!"

The girl pointed to the ground, and her voice was full of surprise: "It changed back again!"

Heijian and Thales were taken aback, and their eyes were once again attracted by the small sword on the ground.

I saw that the little sword that had been shining red in Thales's hand began to change color slowly.

The bright blood-like sword edge faded and faded on the ground again, turning into the same dull deep matte red as before—as if all the blood had been sucked out.

Thales blinked in surprise.

He's not the only one with this reaction.

The legendary fraternity killer shook his head tremblingly, looking puzzled.

"What the hell..."

"If Ramon is still here..." Hei Jian looked at the dimmed little sword, lowered his head and gritted his teeth, his eyes full of unwillingness.

At this moment, there was another huge roar in the distance.

"boom!"

Before everyone could react, a dilapidated house not far away suddenly turned into ashes!

A terrifying giant blood-colored tentacle soared into the sky.

In the distance, the figure of a hydra looms in the smoke and dust.

Thales and Little Slick were both startled, watching in amazement that the tentacle split into countless tiny limbs again, like a dense wriggling group of snakes, sweeping towards them overwhelmingly!

"What are you waiting for?"

Hei Jian roared anxiously: "Run!"

Thales was shocked.

He couldn't help but pull up the little slicker with a pale face, ignoring everything just now, and just rushed towards the opposite direction of the tentacles!

Another tentacle...

So—Thales gritted his teeth—Ashida, did you really lose?

Aren't magicians immortal and indestructible?

Then how did he lose?

Damn.

He has to keep running!

As for the black sword still on the ground, unable to move...

I can only wish him luck.

However, this time the tentacles seemed to be extraordinarily fast and powerful. They flooded the streets strewn with corpses like a tide, making a terrifying "sizzing" sound wherever they went!

Thales heard it in his ears, but his scalp felt cold, and his soul felt like death.

Without Ashida's cover and protection, this time, they had just taken four or five steps when the first small tentacle chased after them.

This time, it's only targeting Thales!

In an instant, Thales felt his feet were heavy, and his ankle was tightly entangled by the tentacle that came first.

Thales felt chills in his heart.

"Boom!"

He staggered and fell to the ground!

The tentacle began to roll, pulling him back.

"No!" Little Slick exclaimed, she turned around and grabbed Thales' arm tightly, trying to save him from the entanglement of the tentacles.

But with the strength of the two children, how can they struggle against the tentacles of the hydra?

Together they were dragged toward those snake-like tentacles.

"Damn it!"

Thales' scalp was tingling as he watched his ankles being wrapped tighter and tighter.

He glanced behind them again, and saw other tentacles that were getting closer, stretching to his eyes in just a few seconds!

The melted or broken limbs in the tentacles were already clearly visible in front of my eyes!

Thales trembled all over, and quickly turned around and shouted: "Run!"

But the little slippery head just bit his lower lip, hugged his arm tightly, and shook his head desperately.

They were dragged all the way back several meters.

"Zizi..."

The frightening sound of flesh and blood rubbing against each other came from far and near.

Thales felt a chill.

Oops.

That's too late.

Soon, countless tentacles covered the sky and the moon, sweeping in like a raging wave.

The first tentacle wraps around Slick's left arm.

The second only covers Thales' back.

The third, the fourth, the fifth...

From limbs to body, these tentacles bind him and Slick!

"No!"

The sticky, warm, but disgusting stump tentacles covered Thales' eyes as he roared, blocking the tearful little slippery head from his sight.

The little slippery screamed, and let go of Thales' hand while pulling.

Thales's eyes were tearing apart, watching the weeping face of the little slippery head, covered by tentacles, and disappeared in front of his eyes.

no no!

While the tentacles all over his body were being pulled, Thales desperately stretched out his hand towards JC's dagger.

At the moment of life and death, he no longer cared about any secrets, nor any side effects.

He had to use mana...or what he thought was mana!

But just when the second prince was about to get the dagger to stab himself, another tentacle came from behind and bound his right arm.

Then dragged back desperately!

He failed to touch the dagger.

Thales gritted his teeth unwillingly.

No.

Like a prey hunted by a spider, he was firmly trapped in the spider's web and could not move.

Only close your eyes and wait to die.

But at this moment.

Heijian's low growl suddenly came from beside his ears.

"ah!"

Immediately afterwards, the sound of flesh and blood collapsing came one after another.

"Wow!"

Thales was shocked, and felt that the momentum of being dragged suddenly decreased.

The next moment, the tentacles wrapped around his head and face suddenly loosened!

While blood was splashing everywhere, the black sword covered in bruises appeared in Thales' sight.

Thales' spirits lifted instantly!

Before he could open his mouth, among the turbulent tentacles, Hei Jian shouted violently and swung the small red sword in his hand.

"call!"

The wind whistled, flesh and blood flew across, and the sword edge drew circles of arcs among the countless flesh and blood of the tentacles.

Splitting and cutting off one after another tentacles.

The tentacles were shocked, like a boiling oil pan, and crazily attacked the black sword!

With a body full of scars, Heijian showed a swiftness that did not match his physical condition. His body sometimes trembled to get rid of entanglements, and sometimes he turned sharply to dodge attacks, and fought hard among the tentacles in all directions.

The black sword swayed over a tentacle stretching towards his left shoulder, then trembled with his right arm, knocking off a tentacle that was on it with a strange rhythm, and then roared and cut off a tentacle that bound Thales' left leg.

Hei Jian's face was ugly. He stepped on the tentacles all over the ground, and his legs were unknowingly entangled, but he still didn't realize it.

The small sword in his hand never stopped swinging. Sometimes the sword cut through a tentacle that bound Thales, and sometimes cut horizontally a tentacle that was trying to stop him.

Among the countless tentacles, Black Sword stood in front of Thales, his eyes were firm, and his figure moved.

At that moment, he was like a restless bug that fell into a spider's web, stubborn and unyielding, struggling desperately, shaking endlessly.

Thales stared blankly at this scene.

"Hold on to me!"

Hei Jian roared, his left arm wrapped in a thick cloth with thick blood stains reached out, and firmly clasped Thales' shoulder.

Then he swung his little sword again, instantly cutting off the three tentacles entangled with Thales!

"laugh!"

The next moment, Hei Jian's expression was ferocious. He pulled Thales out of the pile of tentacles abruptly like pulling a carrot!

Thales held Hei Jian's arm tightly, coughing unceasingly.

With a strong swing of the black sword, Thales was thrown out of the reach of the tentacles!

Thales rolled to the ground, gasping for breath.

Several tentacles wanted to follow Thales, but were cut off mercilessly by the black sword.

But Heijian himself was getting more and more tightly entangled by the tentacles.

Thales didn't care to catch his breath, so he hurriedly turned his head, but only saw the black sword that was almost submerged by the tentacles, struggling hard after a round of eruption rescued Thales.

Thales was about to crawl back subconsciously, but when he raised his head and saw Hei Jian's eyes, he stopped involuntarily.

That man, amidst the tentacles, was still fighting endlessly.

"This sword...why doesn't it work!" Hei Jian looked at the small red sword in his hand and roared angrily, "These things haven't disappeared!"

Thales, who had just escaped from death, only felt physically and mentally exhausted. He supported the floor, listening to the sizzling sound of the tentacles behind him, with a helpless expression in his eyes as if the little slippery man was finally pulled away, but he felt resentful and unbearable.

how come.

He gritted his teeth, and yelled back without thinking: "How the hell would I know! I just took it and..."

As soon as the words came out, both of them were shocked!

Thales understood something.

A tentacle took the opportunity to wrap itself around Heijian's neck, strangling him trembling.

At the critical moment, Heijian didn't swing his sword again, and he, who was almost submerged by the tentacles, took a deep look at Thales.

"Little guy!" Heijian sharply raised his voice.

Thales gasped and tried his best to stand up.

Several tentacles have bypassed the black sword and arrived in front of Thales!

However, the next moment, Thales saw the movement of Heijian's arm, which caused the howling of the wind.

I saw a black shadow spinning and rushing towards the traverser's face!

Thales squinted subconsciously, and involuntarily raised his right hand to protect his head and face.

But the black shadow turned around just right, and fell into the right palm that Thales had just raised without error.

When Prince Xingchen unconsciously shook it, he felt a weight in his hand!

Thales bent his knees, and he hurriedly grabbed the small sword thrown by the black sword—the hilt just flew into his palm.

Although he didn't want to admit it, but—Thales took a deep breath—the black sword was really accurate.

Heijian took one last look at Thales, and was completely overwhelmed by the tentacles.

The tentacles wrapped in the black sword lifted the "prey" and rolled it backwards.

Thales was breathing in a trance, but he knew what he was going to do.

please.

He gritted his teeth, brandished his small sword, and rushed forward stepping on the ruins and snow under his feet.

give me now...

Work for me!

"ah--"

The next moment, Thales roared desperately, as if this could calm him down—he swung his little sword at the tentacle that was rushing in front of him.

One tentacle touched Thales' face, making him feel numb for a while, and the other tentacle reached out to his hands, making an unpleasant hissing sound.

But in the next moment, that strange burning sensation came to my heart again, and the blood vessels began to pulsate endlessly again.

Thales' little sword changed.

As if it had been injected with some power, its dull red sword edge gradually changed color and glowed from the hilt where Thales was holding it.

It was bright and blood red again, as if alive again—just as it had been before.

Red light spread out.

The two tentacles closest to Thales suddenly trembled in front of the blade of the little sword!

In just a few seconds, they curled up from warm and strong flesh and blood into gray limbs, emitting the scorching sound of flames and red steam, and turned into ashes alive!

Thales was shocked: it works!

He didn't stop, but rushed forward desperately.

Not far away, the Blood Mage who was confronting Grivo and Nicolai turned his head thoughtfully and glanced in this direction.

Giza's tentacles are very "impressive". Thales doesn't want to taste the warm texture and sticky and creamy feeling when it hits the tentacles.

too disgusting.

But this time, Thales just lowered his head and charged desperately with his small sword in hand.

However, Thales surprisingly didn't encounter any physical obstacles that stopped him for more than a few seconds, even though the group of tentacles looked so scary before.

Thales stared at the ground, not letting the turbulent tentacles in front of him affect his vision, and kept running with only one breath.

He slammed into the tentacles wrapped in black swords in a disorderly manner.

The wall of flesh and blood made up of tentacles would collapse at the touch of a touch, and ashes kept falling in front of him.

If the tentacles were entangled somewhere, Thales would subconsciously lean the blade there - in just a few seconds, the tentacles would tremble slightly, and then loosen and turn into ashes.

Like the ripples on the surface of a lake, the tentacles trembled back and scattered in front of him.

At a faster speed than when it came, it curled up towards the roots.

But Thales still didn't care, just blindly raised his sword and charged.

In the next second, he only felt that his feet were empty.

Thales panicked and fell down!

But he didn't fall.

"Boom!" came the muffled sound.

Thales had a headache and felt that he had hit a thick wall.

He was duly picked up by something.

"enough!"

Hei Jian's indifferent voice sounded from beside his ears.

Thales was shocked all over, and then he raised his head.

Hei Jian, who was freed from the predicament, had a bad expression. He grabbed Thales' wrist tightly, and stopped the small red sword in front of his neck.

"It's enough." Hei Jian said coldly, letting go of his arm together with the little sword.

Thales, who was still in shock, finally found his breath.

After the catastrophe, he looked around: the tentacles retreated one after another, scattered and scattered, or withered in place, or disappeared into the darkness.

It's like nothing happened just now.

Only one figure was missing.

Thales ran forward two steps in a daze, but saw nothing in sight except corpses and withered tentacles all over the ground.

"It's too late." Hei Jian's sharp eyes stared at the darkness in the distance, and his voice was a little weak: "We can't catch up."

Thales' heart trembled. Holding the little red sword, he slipped powerlessly to the ground, biting his lower lip.

However, his left hand accidentally pressed something.

Same thing.

Thales lowered his head and was shocked immediately.

Those are slick glasses.

The pair of black-rimmed glasses that were out of place with her.

One of the lenses has worn away a small part.

However its owner...

Thales couldn't help feeling sad.

Little slick...

He dragged her away from King Nun, from Ashida, from Giza's tentacles.

But now, in the end, she was...

Thinking of this, Thales only felt his throat choked up, and his heart felt like a boulder was blocked.

No.

Thales picked up the damaged pair of glasses, and bit his lip tightly.

In his mind, he couldn't stop flashing the moment when the little slippery head hugged his arm tightly, then drowned in the tentacles, screaming and being dragged away.

No.

Hei Jian clutched his chest, swayed and sat down, spat a mouthful of blood on the ground, straightened out his breathing, and then raised his head.

Thales tightly closed his eyes and lowered his head.

Seeing Thales' appearance, Hei Jian sighed deeply.

"It seems that you really did something..." Hei Jian looked at the withered and blackened tentacles around him, and even turned into ashes, and said slowly:

"It only responds to your touch."

"That sword seems to be effective only in your hands - restrain the magician."

Immersed in unspeakable sadness, Thales trembled slightly.

Thales glanced blankly at the bright red weapon in his hand.

"Do you have anything to explain?" Hei Jian shook his head, put away his previous expression, and said calmly.

Thales frowned, looking at Hei Jian with resentment or boredom.

Why is he still caring about this?

Thales was silent, and it took a long time before he spoke.

"Explanation?" Thales sneered sadly: "Explain ass."

Hei Jian ignored his words, but stared at Thales' face.

A few seconds later, Black Sword suddenly said:

"'Blue Ambition'."

Thales replied absent-mindedly: "What?"

"What's your relationship with that place?" Hei Jian asked seriously.

At this moment, Thales only felt a sense of resentment filling his chest, he didn't have any intention of paying attention to Hei Jian, and said coldly: "There is something to do with it!"

Thales lowered his head and gritted his teeth.

He closed his eyes and tried his best not to look at the corpses lying on the ground on both sides of the street. They were even more unrecognizable under the attack of the tentacles just now.

Hei Jian didn't answer him, but frowned and looked at the darkness in the distance.

"Don't you know?" After a while, Hei Jian's tone turned cold: "She had such an experience because of you."

Thales raised his head tremblingly, looking at Hei Jian with flickering eyes.

"Everyone here, including Ramon, thousands of people died because of you, you should be very clear about this," Hei Jian said emotionally: "How does it feel?"

Thales was breathing unconsciously, his eyes were empty.

"This is the disaster brought by those monsters," Hei Jian said indifferently: "Twelve years ago, I saw such a tragedy, corpses everywhere, countless ruins, companions taken away, innocent people involved, And the hateful eyes of those monsters who don't care about it..."

"To those monsters, we're just thinking and talking bugs, nothing compared to their goal—even if it's a ridiculous one."

Thales gritted his teeth and narrowed his eyes: "What are you implying?"

"The magician destroyed the whole city, and I, including you and me, must be responsible for it," Hei Jian let out a long breath, as if his injuries had healed a lot: "So we have to do something What...even if it's for the girl next to you, isn't it?"

Thales squeezed the black-rimmed glasses in his hand, and breathed evenly.

"You need my help." Thales said affirmatively.

Black Sword nodded slowly.

"This sword can only be effective if it is in your hand." Heijian stared into Thales' eyes: "Since we have obtained this weapon, we must do something."

"So - yes, I need your help." Black Sword repeated his words.

"What do you want to do?" Thales' breathing became disordered, and his voice was somewhat hollow.

This time, Hei Jian stared at him for a long time before opening his mouth slowly.

"Look around us, look at the ruins they left behind..." Hei Jian stood up tremblingly from the ground, looking into the distance, "That thing is still raging—I guess, Dragon Clouds City has The situation is out of control."

Thales was shocked, and he came to his senses.

"you want……"

Thales was a little surprised. He followed Heijian's eyes and turned his head to look at Kirika in the distance: "You want to find... the blood magician?"

"We want to end all of this," Hei Jian nodded:

"End the nightmare of this city."

"With luck..."

"It can even save that girl..."

"If she hasn't been eaten by that thing."

Thales' breathing accelerated slowly.

"Otherwise, as long as you are still here, as long as that thing is still here," Hei Jian said with deep meaning: "You and the unlucky people around you, there will be no peace—even if the girl is rescued, there will be no peace in the end." Fall into the hands of those monsters again."

"Even if you have this sword."

Thales frowned, looking at the small sword in his hand.

"Front of the Pure World." After a few seconds, he whispered.

"What?" Hei Jian frowned.

"The name of this sword," Thales stared at the sword in his hand, staring at its blood-red blade, with a flash of determination in his eyes: "It's called the Edge of the World."

Hei Jian looked at him and suddenly smiled: "You really know something."

"Not much more than you." Thales said with blank eyes and no emotion.

"So, little guy, what's your decision?" Hei Jian didn't continue this topic, he looked at the little prince with persuasive eyes: "As the youngest... legendary anti-magic armed commander in history."

Thales took a deep breath.

He looked at the World-Cleaning Edge in his hand.

The only thing left in my ears was the whistling cold wind and the faint hissing sound from the hydra.

Before his eyes, Ashida's deep eyes appeared.

Giza has a gentle smile.

Little slippery head with a teary expression.

The cries of the residents of the Northland fleeing desperately sounded in my ears.

At that moment, Thales' eyes became firm.

"Okay, I'll tell you..."

But before he finished speaking, Hei Jian suddenly said: "By the way, I would like to remind you."

Thales was taken aback.

"Excessive use of legendary anti-magic weapons will cause a huge load on the body," Hei Jian said in a flat tone: "If you can't control their power——it will be dangerous."

Thales was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, he lowered his head, and looked at the World Cleansing Edge in his hand again.

Under the moonlight, its blood-red blade looked so bright and dazzling.

"Dangerous?" He asked in a daze.

"Especially those who haven't reached the extreme level, they can't ensure absolute control over the legendary anti-demon forces..." Black Sword's voice continued: "And you..."

"You have to think about it." Hei Jian's words were extremely cold.

Thales frowned heavily.

At that moment, he suddenly thought of Gilbert, Yoddle, and Ginny.

Think of their eyes—even though he'd never seen yordle's eyes.

He remembered what Gilbert told him, when encountering disasters, he must first protect himself.

But he remembered his identity again.

Isn't it expensive every time you use mana?

And—he thought again of Giza's smile, of her gentle but determined eyes.

She won't let herself go.

"You were still persuading me to go find a magician with you before," Thales sneered, "You're saying that now?"

"Then what's your answer?" Hei Jian raised his eyebrows slightly.

Thales' eyes gradually converged.

He raised his head and looked at Heijian's sharp eyes.

Then he nodded heavily.

"Let's go," Thales said lightly, "Go and see that lovely big sister."

"Take a chance."
