hunt and eat

"Wow, what a terrifying power~" the girl whispered to herself nonchalantly.

She can do this level of attack by herself, and it is even more powerful. Of course, it is impossible to release it instantly like them, and it takes a while to prepare.

But she wasn't originally a person who specialized in combat.

"Those bound souls don't seem to have the slightest hatred."

At this time, Nia, who was standing quietly at the bow of the ship, suddenly made a sound.

After thinking about it, Ceperos nodded and agreed: "Combining that person's past, it should be the soul of a former partner and comrade-in-arms."

"This Sequence 5 is unexpectedly afraid of being alone." Nia said softly.

"However, the obsession to forcibly confine the departed souls within one's body is a curse in a sense."

"Rather than obsession, I prefer to use the word [love]."

The long silver hair fluttered in the wind, and Ceperos laughed inexplicably as if thinking of something.

"Do you love?" Nia sighed softly, looking down at the people and beasts who continued to fight, breaking the surrounding canyons into potholes one after another, exhaling like blue.

"In this world, there is no more twisted curse than love."

Chapter 33 The Ice Mist Flower that Blooms After a Hundred Years

At an altitude of a thousand meters where everything is extinct, a tearing black light cannon crossed the clouds and submerged into a mountain peak on one side.

Amidst the bursting landslide, a black knight in heavy armor quickly flew out flapping his ferocious dragon wings.

The huge beam of light behind him swept across the mountain wall in his direction like a gangrene.

With the overwhelming bang, the entire mountain peak was split into two in an instant, turning into an endless shadow and falling into the sky.

【Desolate God Skill·Black Flash】

The giant sword swept back across the sky, cutting out a circle of diffused arc light. Shan Weng abruptly cut off the incoming beam of light from the middle, and then without hesitation, stomped heavily on the mountain that formed an angle of almost 90 degrees with him. With the strength of the anti-shock, it starts to accelerate towards the top of the head.

Roar!

The long roar of the beast floated from afar, and nine black and white tails that looked like spears and dragon pythons, glowing with black and red blood, stabbed down from the clouds one after another.

【Desolate Divine Skill · Nine Evils】

After a brief hesitation, Shan Weng did not dodge or evade, and was ready to resist this move, and went straight to the opponent's body.

However, in the next second, a certain clear female voice suddenly sounded from beside his ears.

"Don't take this trick."

Squinting his eyes slightly, Shan Weng turned his body forcibly at the moment when he was about to hit those huge fox tails with his sword, and turned his forward posture in an extremely dangerous way, narrowly passing by.

Nine huge fox tails landed behind him, countless stern black and red blood rays released from the thick snow-white fur, and exploded every inch of his breath.

After the Scarlet Thunder passed, several huge pits of different depths suddenly appeared on the cliff behind Shan Weng.

"Look, listen to me, right?"

Turning his head silently, Shan Weng's pupils hidden under the thick armor were full of complicated emotions.

Only he could see clearly that a long-haired Yujie in a snow-white military uniform was floating in the void on one side, playing with the tips of her ice-blue hair while smiling.

"Esdes..."

The most powerful battle force in the newly built Reid Empire, [General Binglan] Esdes, who single-handedly fought against all members of the revolutionary army camp where Shan Weng was in a century ago, is like a demon king.

In that battle, excluding Shan Ong himself, there were 32 remaining Teigu envoys, all of whom were killed without exception.

Even today, Shanweng still doesn't have the slightest confidence in defeating the other party's heyday.

It was a monster in the true sense that crushed other natural disasters in all aspects, and almost crossed taboos and became inhuman.

Unfortunately, she has a fatal weakness...

That's the main reason why she died in the war a hundred years ago.

"What's the matter, dear?"

"..."

Taking a deep breath, the Shan Weng lowered his body to avoid the huge foxtail that shot again, and landed on a protruding rock directly behind under the reaction force of the dragon's wings.

"Can you stop using this name?"

"Did you forget whose hands you died at?!"

"Tazmi, I was killed by you willingly." An overly gentle voice sounded from behind.

Two phantom slender arms, like the girl with purple hair and double ponytails before, gently wrapped around Shan Weng's neck.

Resting his head on the mountain ong's shoulder, Esdeth had a satisfied smile on his face.

"And, now you are finally the only one left by your side, isn't it?"

"From body to soul, you belong only to me, and I belong only to you."

"You..." Even after a hundred years, Shan Weng still has all sorts of entanglements in his heart about this female devil king who single-handedly ruined all her companions.

There is hatred, confusion...and a trace of guilt.

Yes, the only reason why the revolutionary army was able to overthrow the empire a hundred years ago, and why I was able to kill Esdesh, was precisely...

Her almost unreserved, even morbid love for herself.

Of course, in Shan Ong's view, that emotion is not called love, but rather a terrible possessive desire that is unbearable.

Even at the end of the war, when I put the long sword into the opponent's heart with my own hands, I still couldn't see the slightest trace of hatred and remorse on the opponent's face.

Whether it was the matter of killing all her companions or being killed by herself, she didn't care at all.

"Tazmi, I hope that in that world, you can be by my side."

Shan Weng still remembers this sentence that the other party said before he died.

Then, out of nowhere, he really met her after death again.

He who awakened the ultimate intention [Haunted by Evil Ghosts], under the obsession that he couldn't explain clearly, sealed all the souls on the battlefield into his body.

Among them, that part of the soul origin of Esdeth is included.

By the way, she is also the only one among the countless souls absorbed by the Shan Weng who came to her and attached herself to her body.

If it is said that the origin of souls of other comrades-in-arms and partners is the result of him forcibly retaining them after refusing to accept their death, then Esthers is the one who broke the cage and occupied the magpie's nest. bad guy.

As a "monster" who is only one foot away from the inhuman, she voluntarily gave up her life, perhaps for this moment.

An opportunity to fully integrate with the soul of the former Tazmi and today's Shanong.

Even if Shan Weng still rejects her love, he still can't get rid of her, because as long as he unlocks the ability of [Evil Ghost Haunting], other souls will also dissipate at the same time.

He had thought so.

But until this moment, after the ability was completely released and the soul power of relatives and friends was turned into the key to awaken the sleeping Teigu, he did not understand how naive he was.

Esdeath's state, since a hundred years ago, is just like the sentence she has always been talking about.

From body to soul, the two have long been inseparable from each other, and they are a complete individual that cannot be separated at all.

And all this, a century has passed, and I am completely ignorant of it.

It's ironic enough.

"To this day, I still don't understand what you're thinking, Estes."

Shan Weng muttered without looking back, his mask was full of self-deprecating expressions.

If it is said that the love he forcibly retains the souls of his comrades is a curse, then isn't Esdesh's love another kind of curse?

In the end, they probably never did much different things.

"Hey, don't think about it so much."

[General Binglan], whose hands were once stained with blood, is now as gentle as water, submerging his illusory body into Shanweng's body bit by bit.

That illusory appearance is just an illusion after all, she has been a part of Shan Weng's soul since a hundred years ago.

Even, relying on the powerful origin that once surpassed the taboo, she can actually suppress the consciousness of the mountain man in reverse and forcibly take over the control of the body.

"I just want to talk about a normal relationship."

"Although the requirements are a little bit harsh."

Hearing the continuous laughter emerging from the depths of his soul, Shan Weng let out a long sigh helplessly, and then raised his right hand uncontrollably.

A continuous iceberg rose suddenly from the mountain wall in front of him, and at the same time brought billowing cold smoke, several black and white fox tails that came from the attack were firmly sealed in it.

Under the mask, Shan Weng's expression was cold, and an icy blue illusory coldness kept overflowing from his eyes.

"Come to disturb us at this time, you can't wait...do you want to die?"

……

Chapter 34 Everything is frozen...including time!

"Things seem to be a little bit wrong. There is an unexpected force in his body..."

On the flying ship, Ceperos, who can directly observe the soul, immediately noticed some abnormalities.

At the moment when the iceberg rose, he clearly smelled some weird aura from that [Mibu].

It's not just the difference in the nature and intensity of power, but more importantly, he vaguely sees a spiritual will that does not belong to Shan Weng himself.

What needs to be explained here is that whether it is the ultimate intention or the true meaning of qi, it is actually the embodiment of everyone's spiritual will and beliefs, and many times a person's inner world can also be seen from the side.

And unlike Shanweng's obsession with the free will of life, in that iceberg, Ceperos only saw a twisted will that he couldn't understand at all...

But there is one thing to say, no matter how he feels about it, he must admit that that power is a bit too strong even for the [Murial] Mountain Old Man who is the Sequence 5 of the Ancient Dragon Group.

"There are [impurities] in his body." Nia commented simply and directly, half-draped in a white sleeveless dress.

As the first batch of hunters who were transformed into [Spiral Clan], she was more or less influenced by the ancient tower at the source, and she was able to observe the pictures that can only be read with special vision.

Although it is somewhat different from Ceperos's soul vision ability.

"Do you need help? What if Bordeaux..." Wei Wei turned her head to look hesitantly.

"No need, he can handle it, and besides..." Nia disappeared and shook her head, then glanced at Weiwei in surprise, "Although many people will fall into this misunderstanding, you should be clear about it, Weiwei , Bordeaux is actually..."

"Is that very important?" Weiwei waved her hands carelessly, and said with her mouth curled up, "Although I never expressed this meaning, you can see how active they have been in the past two years, Nia."

"Being able to continue activities as [people] and leave as many footprints as possible is their simplest happiness. Is it necessary to forcibly separate them from their current identities?"

"Whether human or non-human, they are all members of the Canglan Star."

"What's more, I didn't know the original [White Clothes] at all."

Looking at Weiwei's pure red eyes, Nia unconsciously felt a little ashamed.

The person who made the picture might really be her, or maybe it was herself.

……

At the high altitude of the empty canyon, as the biting cold wind continued to howl, countless super-giant ice cones that traversed the sky like mountains fell vertically from the sky with shadows.

"[Cold Might Hail Fury Leap]!"

Vaguely, a certain cold female voice sounded from a distance.

The Black Blood Venerable, who looks like a huge fox, controls the surrounding airflow to run quickly along the vertical mountain wall and pass through the falling icebergs in a way of almost anti-gravity flight.

The mighty shock wave brought by the falling iceberg, wrapped in an unimaginably huge smoke and dust, fell tightly behind the Black Blood Lord, but he still couldn't get closer.

The speed of the former is so fast that ordinary people may not even be able to keep up with their sight if they are not paying attention.

【Desolate God Skill · Stepping into the Sky】

The mighty special dragon energy overflowed from the thick white hair, turning into the power to support the Black Blood Lord to walk in the air, and pulled out a beautiful black and red trail behind him.

This is a special ability that Li Mingqing simulated by studying the flying method of the ancient dragon species [Sky Dragon].

The basic principle is actually that of jet fighters. Of course, the specific process and method of deployment are more complicated. Even Li Mingqing spent more than ten years to complete it.

Of course, the biggest difficulty is not the so-called technical barrier, but the Tianxianglong as a reference object.
