Shadow of the Beautiful World

bass

The crisp sound of the sword blazed across the gap between darkness and light, and a ball of light flashed in the air, and then dissipated in the next second, as if it had never appeared.

But on the snow-white cheek of the evil spirit Skadi, there was an extra bloodstain.

That seemed to be a sign of something not very good.

While God King Odin was fighting fiercely with his daughter, and his other daughter led his brother's servants to fight the Lord of Fire, Merlin was also fighting his own battle on this ruined land.

Of course, this is a battle that will not be known to the outside world.

It takes place in the dimensional mirror image of the ruins of the Golden Palace.

Lord Raven will not allow other people to disturb this battle, this battle has a very special meaning for him and his opponent.

He doesn't need help either.

Facing a seriously injured heavenly father, Merlin didn't think he would lose.

He is full of confidence, but he does not underestimate the enemy. In fact, the pace of this battle is not fast.

Rather than saying that Raven and Skadi are fighting to the death, it is better to say that the two are like lovers, dancing a special dance in this dead and deserted ruins.

A lot has happened since you left.

Lord Raven flicked his wrist lightly, the not-so-fancy long sword Judas was buzzing, and a drop of cold blood dripped down the blade.

With gentle eyes, he looked at the panting winter evil spirit in front of him, no longer indifferent, just like a trapped beast.

With his right hand slung behind his waist, between the trailing tails of his black robe, he said:

Many, many things, they have tripped me up and prevented me from coming to see you at the first time.

Shut up!

Compared to Merlin's gentleness and calmness, the evil spirit Skadi's performance was much worse.

She is no longer like the indifferent and dead god of the frost giant, and seems to have more humanity that shouldn't be there, but it seems that the appearance of Merlin has made her unable to maintain the previous cold posture.

She's in a bad state.

Not only from the tattered, blood-stained robes, but also from the scars drawn by Judas on the cold skin.

weak.

A feeling of weakness surged through her body.

The wound struck by Odin's fatal blow was only forcibly frozen, and did not heal. It was the attack of the heavenly father, and it must be accompanied by the power of the heavenly father.

In fact, every time Skadi attacks or defends, those golden arcs will make her extremely painful, and will paralyze her body, slowing down her movements, making it impossible for her to dodge Merlin's attack .

And the heart-piercing sword stabbed by Raven Lord just now

Skadi stared at the dusty sword in Merlin's hand.

Every time she was hit by that sword, she became weaker, as if with every contact, the evil sword bit off some of her strength.

that's not the worst

The physical pain is tolerable, and with the Winter Scepter in hand, she is not afraid to fight a war of attrition with Merlin. Even in the current state, it is not so easy for Merlin to take her down.

The most critical problem is that every time the annoying raven in front of him speaks, the voice can always be transmitted to the bottom of his heart.

Like a clock being struck.

Another her was plucked at the silent heartstrings, deep in her body, just about to move.

I'm not her! Stupid!

Skadi is holding the biting frost spear in his hand, which is the change of the shape of the winter scepter.

If possible, the Winter Goddess didn't want to recklessly engage in close combat with the raven.

But the problem is that what she sees in front of her is a true master of spellcasting. In the case of using magic to bombard, Skadi will only lose faster.

Your Elsa is dead!

The evil spirits are seizing every second, drawing strength from the Winter Scepter.

She said to Lord Raven in the most vicious and cold tone:

The poor girl's heart was broken after witnessing your death. She willingly fell into a deep sleep and gave everything to me! You are just chasing a phantom of the past!

Infatuated man, but you can't find anything!

If I die, she will die too!

Skadi sneered:

You are just fighting a war that you will never win, and you know this yourself. In that attack just now, you could have pierced my heart and killed me completely.

She touched the frozen sword wound on her heart, and said:

It's only an inch off but that's the sky you'll never get over!

Call it what you want, but I know, and my Elsa can hear it.

Merlin wasn't made to lose his mind by the provocation.

From the beginning he knew it wouldn't be easy, and he never thought of killing Skadi here.

It is easy to kill a badly wounded evil spirit.

It's nothing more than killing the Steppenwolf, using the cheating Aikon's form, and it only takes one surprise attack to wipe out the evil spirit in front of him.

But the problem is, Merlin didn't intend to kill his wife to preach.

He wants to capture Skadi alive, the difficulty can be imagined.

Stop putting on airs, evil spirit.

The right hand of the King of Vainglory was placed on the Raven Book at his waist, a flash of orange light danced on his fingertips, and he said softly:

Don't guess my mind casually. The sword just now was not intended to kill you or scare you. Since I came here, and since I appeared in front of you, it proves that I have a way to deal with you.

Besides Merlin, I have another name, Vanity.

He untied the dark red magic tome from his waist and hovered it by his hand. The heavy cover opened automatically, revealing the magic spell that danced with red light on the first page.

Merlin is like a caster.

While moving his fingers on the spell, he said to the evil spirit Skadi as if chatting:

You may not know the meaning of this name yet, let me demonstrate it for you.

Elsa don't sleep.

Merlin called softly.

At this moment, Skadi's complexion changed drastically.

In her body, the will that was suppressed by her, unexpectedly showed signs of resistance at this moment, like a sleeping person struggling to wake up.

No!

Scotty's heart tightened.

At this moment, when she was at her weakest, it was not a good idea to wake up Elsa Bloodstone.

Although that soul is weak, she is the true master of the body. If she insists on competing with Skadi for the control of the body, the power of the Winter Evil Spirit will only be weakened even more terrifyingly.

The shared body would not be able to exert the power of Rime, and then she might not even be able to sustain the Father.

Raven cannot be allowed to continue.

Die!

The eyes of the evil spirit became dimmed at this moment.

The power she had when dealing with Odin before was activated again, and everything in her eyes became monotonous in black and white. On Merlin, she saw the beating black lines.

thread of life.

Monotonous, sparse lines, even comparable to Odin.

This guy

so strong?

whoosh

Skadi's figure disappeared in the cold wind, and the frost power that froze everything exploded in a very small direction. At this moment, white frost covered Raven's body, like a person frozen in the snow .

This can't stop him!

But at least it can slow him down.

Skadi, whose face was shining like a ghost, waved his spear and jumped into the space before Merlin's eyes.

The weapon in her hand stabbed towards the nearest black line.

At this moment, Merlin also felt what Odin felt before. The strength of power became no longer important at this moment, and the abstract concepts of life and death were concretized.

If Skadi's spear hits, Merlin will die!

Even if there is not a single wound on his body, even if he is still in full bloom, as long as that thread is cut, Merlin will definitely die!

this weird feeling

Is it the conceptual power from a higher level?

Σkληp?δ?νaη! (brute force!)

Between life and death, Raven's mind turned, but he calmly chanted a spell.

The first incantation recorded in the Book of Raven was activated, and while the red halo was flowing, the frost on his body seemed to be shattered and bounced off by some invisible force.

clang

The bone-chilling ice spear hit the spine of Judas, the horizontal blade.

That line is blocked.

Skadi's expression changed slightly. She hit with all her strength, but Merlin's figure didn't move at all?

As I said, you've been away for too long and many things have happened.

The raven's light voice sounded, he flipped his wrist, and flicked it lightly, like plucking a falling feather.

But Skadi felt an irresistible force coming, her whole body was blown away, and even the frosty breath wrapped around her body was shattered by brute force.

She tried to control her body in the air, but the force exerted was too great, forcing her to keep retreating and hitting a tall tower.

The tower was shattered at the moment of contact.

Skadi's body continued to fly backwards, crashing into the second building, until the third building shattered, and then barely stopped.

She smashed into the ruins on the ground in embarrassment, and a shock-shaped depression appeared under her feet.

Her throat was moving, and a touch of fishy sweetness exploded in her mouth.

There were blood stains at the corner of her mouth.

This fatherly brute force

Isn't he a spellcaster?

Why does it suddenly seem like a barbaric warrior who breaks through the Heavenly Father with pure strength?

Is it because of the spell?

Or that book?

Surprised, huh?

Merlin chuckled, and the page in his hand automatically jumped to the second page without any wind.

The second page, which was supposed to be blank, has already been filled with elegant cursive words. Merlin looked at the unfinished spell, and said regretfully:

The second spell has not been completed yet, obscure and precious knowledge is not so easy to obtain but it doesn't matter, it has shared some with me.

Φ?ση! (Phase!)

Merlin raised the long sword of Judas in his hand, looked at Skadi, and he uttered the second incantation.

hum

Disappeared.

Under Skadi's steadfast gaze, the raven disappeared!

It wasn't that kind of shallow concealment, it wasn't flash, and it wasn't magic. She didn't feel the fluctuation of magic power at all, and the breath of the raven completely disappeared.

In the battle just now, she left the winter brand on the raven, which is the most basic use of power by the heavenly fathers, and is used to locate the opponent. In theory, it cannot be canceled in a short time.

But now, he's gone!

It's just like

Escaped into a world.

puff

The sword of Judas and its owner reappeared like a ghost, and right in front of Skadi's eyes, the greedy sword pierced through the body of the evil spirit again.

Merlin's fingers were still on Skadi's cheek, like a lover's touch.

The power of vanity attached to the sharp blade continued to seep into the body of the evil spirit, and Merlin's voice also sounded in Skadi's ears, he said:

Honey, your ability to see through life and death will become the new mantra of this book.

I believe that you will not let me down.

You never let me down.

Merlin and the Skadi evil spirit were standing almost face to face. At this distance, as long as the evil spirit raised its finger, it could pierce the thread of life and death on his body.

But the evil spirits didn't do that.

Her body trembled, and on Judas' sword, drops of icy blood dripped down to the bone. Along with the continuous infusion of vanity, Merlin's call also echoed in Skadi's body.

He looked gently at the face in front of him that had become a lot greener, but still familiar.

Pretty, gentle, kitten-like face.

He looks forward to seeing the reappearance of the woman who loved him so much.

Skadi was also looking at Merlin.

Hate was on her face, but the trembling of her body wasn't just from pain or weakness.

Merlin

A hoarse call came out from the trembling of Skadi's lips.

There was already a trace of confusion in the eyes of the evil spirit, and the voice of calling just now obviously came from Elsa.

she woke up.

I want you to die!

Elsa wanted to say something, but in the next second, Skadi regained control of her body.

The call that was originally gentle like a lover's call turned into a howling like a crazy woman in a horrifying transformation.

Skadi screamed and reached out to grab Merlin, trying to grab the thread of life and death and kill the weird raven here.

But Merlin was in the phase state of the quantum mantra, and Skadi missed it.

Her fingers seemed to be piercing through Merlin's body, but she couldn't grasp the entity at all.

This is the power of the quantum world.

Allowing Merlin to be in a quantum state while the spell is in effect is a very powerful ability, but unfortunately, it conflicts with the existing magic system.

In this state, Merlin cannot cast spells.

And because the secrets of the quantum spell have not been fully revealed, the spell's duration is limited.

I may not be your match

Scarti looked at Merlin in the quantum state in front of her. She withdrew her fingers and panted heavily. A thick layer of ice covered her arms under the tumbling power of Hoarfrost, and quickly spread towards other parts of her body. .

With hatred shining in her eyes, she gritted her teeth and said:

But you'll never even try to bring her back!

I curse you! Raven Merlin! Say goodbye to your lover forever!

In Skadi's ferocious laughter, the power from Hoarfrost quickly froze her body, and she would not die, but as long as Merlin could not match the ancient Hoarfrost, the self-seal of this layer of ice would never be opened from the outside .

This is also a farewell in another sense.

It's vicious

Raven frowned and took a step back, but immediately, a smile appeared on his face.

This change in expression made Skadi stunned for a moment, but in the next moment, two hands were placed on her shoulders from behind, one left and one right.

At this moment, the black flame ignited along the skin, blocking the frozen winter on his shoulders.

Sorry, we're a little late.

Raven's and Ciri's heads poked out from behind Skadi's ice, one left and one right.

The arrogant queen with flying black hair winked at her brother and said:

But it's time to catch up, right?
