Endless Debt

"You know? David told me that there is no heaven or hell in the world after death."

"Where will that person go after death?"

"Not going anywhere, just staying where you are and falling into an eternal dream."

I remember it was a thunderstorm afternoon, and the heavy rain repeatedly washed away the glass. Looking from the room, it seemed as if the whole world had been dragged into the sea.

Kedening likes afternoons like this. The colder it is outside the window, the more warmth inside the window is reflected, making people cherish everything they have now.

Gini and him were sitting on the sofa. The room was eerily quiet, and the two of them were whispering.

"What's in the dream?" Kedening asked.

"There is what we want and desire most, and we will fall into eternal satisfaction and peace in it." Gini whispered.

"David also said that if this dream really existed, his dream would be to sit in a big house and look at the green grass blown down by the wind outside the window."

"Sounds like what David wants," Codenin whispered, "most desired..."

He lowered his head and looked at Gini in his arms.

"In this case," Kodenin said, "it would be like a dream to us now."

"Yes, I really hope so..."

Gini responded and hugged Kedening tightly.

…

"Ha ha……"

The illusive picture was shattered, and Kedening gasped for breath. As if he was awakened from a dream, cold sweat ran across his forehead, and severe pain followed.

He gritted his teeth and held on, steadying his shaking figure. Blood kept flowing out of the bullet holes, taking his body temperature and life away with him.

"It's too bad..."

Kedening whispered, he never expected that Boluogo could detect all this in such a short period of time and make a trap to kill him.

He was not immortal, so he couldn't care less about his injuries like Boluogo. Fortunately, the projectile hit his body from the side, and his main organs were not injured, which allowed Kedening to still have the strength to fight.

"By the way."

Boluogo rubbed his head vigorously, trying to drive away the feeling of confusion. His blue eyes became clear. He threw out a folding knife, and the sharp blade reflected Kedening's figure.

"This is a personal vendetta, so I don't need prisoners."

Boluogo slowly lowered his body and made a running motion. He bent his feet on the ground and accumulated strength. One hand touched the ground, supporting his body and preparing for recruitment at any time. The other hand held the backhand. He picked up the folding knife and hid the cold blade behind his back.

The ether bursts.

The moment the glow shone, cyan tracks flashed on the ground.

From this brief encounter, Kedening probably figured out the signs of the activation of Bologo's secret power. After the cyan light track covers the material to be recruited, the distortion of reality will be activated, which means that the secret power will be released from Bologo. Yes, it will take some time for the secret energy to take effect, even if this time is extremely short.

The moment the cyan light trail appeared, Kedening was about to evade it, but he didn't know how Bologo would distort reality, would it make dense halberds grow on the earth? Or raise the wall?

Different choices will lead to different situations, and the initiative is in the hands of Boluogo. He can only deal with it, not to mention that he is still injured at the moment, and the severe pain interferes with Kedening's judgment.

"Swoon!"

Kodenin roared, raised his pistol and fired, applying his secret power to Bologo.

Secret energy·wandering.

Just as Boluogo guessed, this is the secret power of the "Ethereal School". Its effect is to affect the senses, disorienting the sense of direction, and thereby distorting the enemy's movements and intentions.

The upward swing of the sword will turn into a downward swing, and the backward avoidance may turn into a rash advance, completely disrupting the senses, just like what Boluogo experienced just now, even the most basic standing position is difficult. Less than.

A feeling of confusion hit his mind, and Bologg's movements froze. However, the recruitment was completed at this time, and a wall rose from the ground, isolating Bologg from Kedening.

In this moment of isolation, Boluogo clearly noticed that the hazy feeling in his mind quickly subsided until his body returned to the control of consciousness.

"Is it really sight..."

Boluogo whispered and moved to the other side, while the continuous wall followed him closely, blocking his figure.

This is not the first time that Boluogo has faced the condensers of the "Ethereal School". Eugene, who was killed by him before, was one of them.

As an expert, after hunting Eugene, Bologo carefully recalled his combat experience and summarized his experience in a manual.

This is a very common thing in the Order Bureau. Field staff integrate their combat experience and then communicate with each other.

While the secret energy is differentiated by the school, the differentiation also limits the secret energy itself. For example, the "control school" relies on real matter, and the "illusion school" requires a large amount of ether, so after being promoted, the condenser will derive The secondary school is used to complicate the secret power of the Sublime Master and reduce restrictions.

Interestingly, these limitations are also the best features that distinguish occult schools, such as the "Ethereal School".

This is a set of rules that Boluogo has figured out by himself. I don’t know if anyone has mentioned it before. The "Void Spirit School" is a very interesting school. It only affects the spiritual soul. For this reason, it almost does not affect the spiritual mind. Reality has an impact.

When you apply the secret power of the "Ethereal School" to Bologg's "gun theory" when hunting Eugene, you will find an important point.

Secret power requires a target to activate.

Boluogo recalled the conversation with Jeffrey.

"What if my secret power is to immobilize those who look at me?"

Why the sight again?

Yes, sight is a very convenient medium. Just like the "Void Spirit School" itself, it is intangible and cunning. As long as you look at each other, you will be impacted by the secret energy.

Boluogo judged that for the 'Void Spirit School', sight is a very important thing. After all, this secret power only targets the spiritual mind, and the concept of nothingness such as the spiritual mind is difficult to judge, so they need to use sight. Come up with a clear goal to release from.

"If you encounter a condenser from the 'Void Spirit School', you might as well try to avoid his sight."

Bologo wrote this in his manual, but this was just a theory written on paper. Bologo did not expect that he would be able to put it into practice so quickly.

If there is a chance to write and publish it in the future, Boluogo is considering whether to call it "Expert Self-cultivation and Rock and Roll Appreciation".

The name sounded strange, but Bologger liked it.

"Rule 1! Stay true to yourself!"

Amid the cheers, walls rose up one after another, completely covering Boluogo's figure. Just as he shouted, stay true to yourself and be an expert!

In an instant, Kedening's pressure increased. He couldn't see Boluogo at all, let alone release his secret power on him.

The secret energy needs a target to release. Bologo's target is the ground under his feet. He can reach out and touch it. Kedening's target is Bologo, but without being able to observe Bologo, the secret energy seems to be unable to find a target. The arrows cannot be released at all.

Kedening had previously thought that if he could be promoted to a believer and develop his own sub-school, he would be going to the "School of Illusion", where he would create large swathes of fog in his imagination and use the fog as a medium to influence all those who touched the fog. People, apply the secret power·Wandering to them.

It's a pity that he is not. Now he is only a first-stage condenser. Faced with such a situation, he is helpless.

The "Light Blade" in his hand consumes too much ether, so he cannot use it frequently, and it is difficult for the firearm to kill Boluogo, not to mention that the injury is still affecting him.

As for Boluo Ge, this damn undead doesn't care about his injuries at all, and he himself is a condenser of the "Domination School" with a "narrow" tendency. His own ether consumption is not large, let alone Boluo Ge. Ge also has soul fragments as backup energy.

In Borogo's script, it was only a matter of time before he killed Kodenne.

Maybe... I am really going to die here.

Such thoughts flashed through Kedening's mind, and despair spread in his heart.

The howling wind suddenly rose. As Bologe walked through, he waved stone spears one after another. His pace was fast. It took time for Kedening to see him and activate his secret power. Before Kedening could activate his secret power, Bologe The figure will quickly escape.

Boluogo didn't think that the stone spear would kill Kedenin. His grasp of ether amplification was better than his own, and his fast speed could easily dodge the stone spear.

Before coming to kill Kedening, Bologg was still worried about whether Kedening would escape. After all, if a Condenser really prepared to run away with all his strength, Bologg would also have a headache. But the moment he saw Gini, he realized that Kedening had already There was nowhere to escape.

"What a terrible sad drama."

Boluogo said this, but there was no mercy in the movements of his hands.

The bulging walls collapsed one after another and raised dust. The entire platform was wrapped in rolling smoke. In the dust, Kedening searched for Boluogo's figure, ready to strike hard at any time, but no matter which direction, he could not see the person covered by the light. Shrouded figure.

Oops.

Kedening realized that something was wrong. Bologo released the secret energy, and the initiating phenomenon on his body disappeared, but he did not. His own alchemy matrix was still burning, bursting with light. In this heavy smoke and dust, Kedening's figure was nowhere to be seen. hidden.

The sharp knife broke through the dust, and the roaring killing intent stung every nerve.

Holding the light blade tightly, the hot ether wrapped around the dagger and turned into a sharp ether sword. Kedening turned around and slashed, easily cutting off the incoming folding knife, but then another ray of light enveloped him.

Secret Power: Hand of Recruitment.

The cyan traces were like blood vessels growing like a spider web, all over the folding knife. Although the blade was cut off, the handle held tightly by Boluogo twisted into a sharp fist blade driven by the secret energy, moving towards Kedening's chest was smashed.

The two looked at each other for a brief moment, and Bologo punched hard. This blow even had an ether amplification. If Kedening's flesh and blood body was hit, he would definitely die.

Kedening's eyes seemed to be on fire, and the majestic ether drove the secret energy, trying to interfere with Bologo's movements at this time of life and death.

The figures almost overlapped, and then were completely detonated and dispersed by the ether.

Boluogo smashed the ground with a punch. The force was so strong that his own muscles were strained. The wounds that had not yet healed were torn open again, spilling blood.

Kedening fell back heavily. He fell to the ground, gasping in pain. He was still alive. At the last moment, he succeeded in affecting Boluogo, but the two were still too close. Even if they affected Boluogo, they were too close. , his abdomen was still scratched by the fist blade, and the blood stained his clothes red.

"I'm really going to die this time..."

Kedening looked at the sky. Bologg smashed the awning. The dark rainy night came into his eyes. The rain fell and washed away the blood on his body.

He thought about moments like this countless times. Facing death, Kedening always felt a rare sense of peace in his heart.

It's quite nice to end like this.

Turning his head tiredly, he saw the woman sleeping soundly on the bench. His eyes were slightly absent-minded, and then they became firm again.

Kedening climbed up in embarrassment, holding his hands on the ground to support his body and endure the severe pain.

"I...I can't die yet."

The rain and blood underneath him mixed together and turned into a dark mirror, in which Kedening's face was reflected. He stared at himself under the water, with blazing fire rising in his pupils.

"I can't die yet."

he said.

Another twisted and hateful figure emerged from the water, and Bart looked at Kedening with a smile.

"Yes, you can't die yet, Kadenin Caesar."

When Kedening stood up again, he could no longer feel the pain.
