Endless Debt

The biting cold seawater swept over his body, and the heavy coldness repeatedly devastated Irwin's body. No matter how much he didn't want to admit it, he was old after all, and neither his physical strength nor his reflexes were as good as those of his youth. time self.

When he was young, he could swim for hours in the storm, but now just trying to catch up with Cinderella took up almost all of Irwin's energy.

Irwin's vigorous figure walked through the water. He passed through the door and arrived at the next carriage. Due to the erosion of the previous rapids, the following carriages were seriously flooded, and the door at the end of the carriage was now submerged by sea water.

The thick water blocked the light, and all Irwin could see was a murky darkness. He vaguely heard the girl's whimpering.

Irwin emerged from the water and his voice became clearer. Then Irwin saw Cinderella rising and falling in the rapids. She kept calling for help, but she couldn't stop herself from sinking deeper and deeper.

"Hold on!"

Irwin called, and the answer was a sob of unknown meaning. Cinderella put her hands on the door frame and raised her head hard to avoid sinking completely into the water.

His body plunged into the water again. Irwin swam very fast, and with the help of the current, he was close to Cinderella in a blink of an eye, and then he grabbed her.

"Caught!"

Irwin tried his best to lift Cinderella so that her body could surface from the water. Cinderella nodded vigorously, her cheeks turned pale from the cold, and her whole body was shaking uncontrollably.

Irwin fumbled for a dagger from his waist. Irwin nailed the tip into the iron sheet and went upstream little by little. This was a good change now. Irwin rescued Cinderella. The two of them fell not too far. They crossed another river. Once in the carriage, you can return to the chessboard carriage and continue the unfinished game.

Cinderella lay on Irwin's back, panting heavily, "Oh my God, I almost felt like I was dead!"

"Don't worry, you won't die yet."

Irwin comforted the girl as he moved forward, "I promised you that I would take you out of this hellish place!"

Irwin still never forgets what he promised, and Cinderella responded, "You're a guy who's surprisingly trustworthy!"

"Keeping one's word is a good virtue and part of being noble."

Irwin accepted Cinderella's praise with a guilty conscience, and then his expression became more and more calm. Now is not the time to be happy.

"Did you hear it?"

Suddenly, Cinderella's voice became softer. She lowered her body and whispered carefully into Irwin's ear.

"What did you hear?"

As soon as Irwin finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed. He heard the rustling sound that was spreading from the car in front. The sound was so dense and loud that for a moment Irwin thought of a group of strange snakes. Hundreds and thousands.

Palmer's screams came from the car in front. It seemed that someone had already taken the lead on Irvin's behalf. For a moment, Irvin didn't know how to deal with this situation.

Irwin shouted nervously, "Climb up and ride on top of me!"

"oh oh!"

Cinderella quickly stepped on Irwin's shoulders, half-crouched on Irvin's body like a monkey, and held Irvin's head with both hands to prevent him from losing balance.

"The waves are coming!"

Cinderella noticed a wave of waves coming from the car in front. Seeing this, Irwin shook his head, "No... that's not a wave."

The waves were getting closer, and Cinderella could see clearly what the so-called waves were, and her bloodless cheeks were as white as paper.

They were countless silver-white pythons wrapped in the current. They opened their bloody mouths and rushed towards Irwin. It was Irwin who had a premonition of these crises and made Cinderella squat on him.

Moments before the snakes slayed him, Irwin stood up straight and tried to keep Cinderella as far away from the water as possible.

A familiar feeling lingered in Irwin's heart again, and he recalled the scene when he was fighting the devil on the train.

He was also facing a crisis, with Cinderella by his side, and he was still doubting himself.

If it hadn't been for his stubborn pursuit, perhaps others wouldn't have been involved in this game. Irvin felt sorry for this, so he couldn't let anyone get hurt, so he had to let others leave.

"Irwin!"

Cinderella exclaimed that she wanted to help Irwin, but didn't know how to do it. At this time, she jumped off Irwin's body, which would only increase the danger, but she couldn't watch Irwin being killed by the snakes. haunted.

"It's fine."

Irwin waved his hand to comfort the girl. The next moment, a group of snakes covered Irwin's body like dense vines. If it hadn't been for the dagger nailed into the nearby iron sheet, this round of impact would have almost knocked Irvin over. land.

The heartbreaking pain came like a sea wave. The pythons repeatedly bit Irwin's body, their fangs piercing the flesh, trying to bite off a piece of warm flesh. Cinderella tried hard to remove the pythons for Irwin, but they still persisted. Keep climbing up.

Wrapping around limbs and biting through the skin, they were like scavenging maggots, trying their best to gnaw at Irvin's body. Cinderella did not dare to imagine Irvin's body under the water. He might have been mangled with blood and only bones.

"No no no!"

Cinderella waved her dagger, and the python's body broke into several pieces, dyeing a large area of ​​water red. Before the body sank, it was eaten clean by other pythons.

Countless silver-white snake bodies were writhing under the water, and the water around Irwin was completely boiling. Irwin seemed to ignore the pain and injuries. Every step was difficult, but every step was still extremely determined and he moved forward steadily.

"It's okay," Irwin said. "We're going to be okay."

Tears rolled in Cinderella's eyes, and she could hear the weakness in Irwin's voice. As if to completely reassure her, Irwin continued, "Look at the rule book. I won't die before you all die." of."

Cinderella was stunned for a moment, then immediately flipped through the wet rule book and found the career settings for the bard.

"The bard will only be injured when all the hunters are dead."

Cinderella looked down at Irwin with great surprise, and Irwin responded with a reluctant but confident smile.

"Although it hurts...I can't die yet."

Irwin noticed something strange about his body when he was in the big library. He only felt pain, but no wounds appeared. He didn't have enough confidence in this immortal mechanism, but now he still tried it himself.

Seeing that Irwin would not die for the time being, Cinderella could finally let go of her hanging heart. There was no better news than this. She stepped up her dagger and tried her best to help Irwin kill these endless snakes. .

Leaving a trail of scarlet blood behind him, Irwin moved forward against the current. Just as he was about to return to the chessboard car with Cinderella, the rising seawater was finally controlled. With Palmer's cheers, the water surface dropped rapidly, Even most of the snakes were swept away by the current and fled from Irwin's side.

Irwin heard Bologg's cry, lifted Cinderella with one hand, and then threw it into his mouth with all his strength.

"it's your turn!"

Cinderella easily crossed the snakes along the way. When the chess table emerged from the water, she also landed on the chess table deftly. She kicked away the python that was in the way. Take the card you deserve.

The cold words were displayed in front of my eyes. The white gull had a strange smile, and took away Cinderella's card with its scarlet arm, letting it dissipate into black smoke.

"Event Card·Full Speed ​​Ahead!"

The Dawn's speed increased sharply, along with the continuous influx of seawater. The speed of the torrent increased significantly. Irwin almost lost his balance and almost fell back into the car behind him.

"Hurry up, everyone!"

Burlogo thrust his sword into the iron sheet to stabilize his figure, while Palmer held Hart's body and hit the wall again. Hart's heavy body squeezed Palmer's chest, and he almost Coughed up blood.

Cinderella fell in the violent shaking, and her body was swept up by the rapids again, but this time Irwin caught her.

"It's fine!"

Irwin shouted to Cinderella and pulled her out of the torrent. Cinderella also grabbed Irwin's arm, as dexterous as a cat.

Cinderella shouted back, "I know!"

The rushing water repeatedly washed away the crowd, sweeping the clamoring snakes towards the dark rear of the car.
