Leopard of another world

The appearance of Lance and Samuel caught the masked man off guard. He turned around and tried to resist in a panic, but was suppressed by Samuel. Several blocking magics and binding magics were cast instantly, and a body appeared from the ground. The black mist bound him tightly like a chain.

Simon and Dark Evan entered the dark room one by one, standing behind Lance, all on guard.

Lance stepped forward and raised the chin of the still struggling man, stared at it for a few seconds, lifted his mask, and took a thin breath.

It was a beautiful and ugly face, with the bridge of the nose as the dividing line, the left half could no longer see its original face, large and small sarcoid tumors were gnawed on the face like a honeycomb, and the eyes were squeezed into thin lines The thread, which is a crazy, bloody red.

On the right side of the face, the holy and beautiful one is like the angel in the painting, the smooth skin faintly glows with the halo of the holy god, and the blue eyes are like a deep lake, revealing the meaning of silence and compassion, it is very beautiful to see After a long time, it seems to be able to wash away the dirty soul.

The combination of the two extremes creates a blunt and creepy sense of dissonance, and the most terrifying thing is that Lance finds out that he knows him.

"Lawrence."

The name overflowed from Lance's lips, and the bound man suddenly stopped struggling, and the eyes of the intact half of his face showed a blank color. After a while, the blankness in his eyes dissipated, and he moved again in vain .

This time, no matter how Lance yelled, the other party never responded.

"Take it back, he doesn't seem to have human reason."

Lance acquiesced to Samuel's opinion, ordered Simon to take away the comatose elf baby and rushed back to the residence to inform the elf king to send more help, so that Samuel could untie the shackles of several comatose elves on the ground, and he and Dark Evan Stay on the hint and watch over Lawrence.

Looking at Lawrence who was still refusing to stop despite the scars caused by the struggle, Lance felt as if a boulder was pressing down on him, feeling depressed and uncomfortable.

As the adopted son of the cardinal and principal, and having such an excellent brother, Lance knows that Lawrence is under a lot of pressure. This pressure forces him to study hard and long for the approval and appreciation of the people around him.

Because of this, he will do his best to fight for the place to participate in the God's Ceremony. Originally, with such an adoptive father, he did not need to participate in such dangerous activities, but he went anyway, because he wanted to prove himself that once If the ceremony is successful, as one of the participants, his reputation and status will increase a lot.

But the ceremony failed under the hands and feet of the church, and the failure was complete. Lance thought that the hundred people who participated had all died, but he didn't expect to meet him in this way again here.

And now, Lawrence has completely failed to recognize Lance, he is like a monster without thinking, out of the category of human beings.

When Samuel returned to the dark room after checking the elves on the ground, he saw Lance's gloomy face.

"Samuel, I'm suddenly very scared." Lance said in the silence, his voice echoed clearly in the darkness: "Things are completely beyond expectations, like a rampaging mad cow, I can't predict where it will go. "

"Don't think too much, Lance, we'll take care of everything for you."

Lance smiled helplessly and shook his head: "I can't stop thinking about it, Samuel. At first I just thought that the church was trying to do something to me or Evan. As long as we both disappeared, the church would be quiet, but Later, I found out that they did much more than I thought. These things happened by no means by accident, from the dead leaf flower task to the participant who turned into a monster in the swamp, from the disappearance of Cloud to the crisis of the elves And now Lawrence, who has lost his humanity, Samuel, can you understand how I feel here?" Lance slowly pressed his hand on his chest, and exhaled: "I am disturbed, Samuel, I am very disturbed."

Samuel silently covered the back of Lance's hand, conveying his temperature.

Lance grinned bitterly in the darkness: "What on earth is the church trying to do? Tell people that all the participants are dead, but secretly we found such monsters. I don't believe this is the aftermath of the failed ceremony, Samuel , the failure of a magic circle will never cause inhuman changes to the participants. At most, they will lose their sanity, and the most serious thing should be death. The creator has set the form of creatures from the beginning, except ** Alchemy, creatures never change against the law, and the monsters this time make me feel that the church is...blasphemy."

Lance's voice trembled at the end, slightly out of control.

"There has never been a god in this world." Samuel's voice was terrifyingly quiet in the darkness.

Lance smiled wryly: "Perhaps the church also thinks so, and that's why they did such a thing."

"No, you are wrong." Samuel's steady voice carried a reassuring taste: "I never believed that there is an existence in this world that can control everything, but the Church believes and enshrines this existence." They are gods, so when their desires swell beyond their control, they will pull the gods they believe in from the throne and sit on them themselves."

The deeper he thought, the more frightened Lance became. He wanted to say something, but the movement from the ground told him that the elf reinforcements had arrived.

The reinforcements who arrived were shocked and sad after seeing the death of their compatriots. They silently collected the corpses of their companions and prepared to take them back to their residences, hold sacrifices for them, and return to the mother tree of life as soon as possible.

The elf baby who was carried away by the bloody orc Simon woke up halfway. The little baby girl refused to leave Simon's arms, clutched his clothes tightly, and cried softly. He returned to the stone house with the baby girl in his arms, and followed Lance.

A group of people walked quietly through the dense forest, and Lance and his subordinates escorted Lawrence to the rear.

The end of the night has revealed a hazy light, the dawn is dispelling the darkness, and the stars in the sky are gradually fading, replaced by a fiery red.

A new day has arrived.

Samuel held Lance's hand from beginning to end, and walked side by side on the rough road with him. Lance turned his head, and his eyes traced his cold outline under the sun, from forehead to nose bridge to chin, that is A reassuring strength and determination, as if the whole world could not shake his persistence.

"What are you looking at?" Samuel turned his head, the light and shadow mottled on his face, making his eyes shine like stars.

Lance smiled: "I..."

Suddenly there were two muffled sounds in front, and the heads of the two elves at the front were separated from their bodies. Blood sprayed on the tree trunk in a tragic arc.

There was a commotion among the elves, and they quickly formed a battle formation and looked around vigilantly, but they didn't see any enemy.

"Lance, or should I call you—the filthy scum of Dekniss?"

Lance's eyes widened suddenly, he looked around, and finally settled on Lawrence who was tightly bound in front of him.

"Eugene?!"

"It's hard for you to remember my voice, long time no see."

Lance looked away from him, and quickly and solemnly glanced around, only to get a mocking chuckle.

"There's no need to look for it. I'm drinking afternoon tea in the church garden of the capital, and now I'm just talking to you through the mouth of this monster."

"You actually called your brother a monster?"

"A failed product can only become waste." Eugene's voice was extremely cold: "From the moment he failed, he was useless."

Lance's expression gradually calmed down: "He is a failure, so what is the one in the silent swamp?"

"Did you hide in the Swamp of Silence? That garbage has caused a lot of trouble for the church. He is not a failure, he is not even a thing."

Lance frowned, quietly probing: "What do you know? Or what does the Church of Light want to do?"

"What are we going to do?" Eugene's voice turned around playfully, gradually revealing a kind of extreme fanaticism: "We are going to open a new world, and light will shine in every corner, like you who were born in the dark The dregs will be turned into ashes before they can make a whine. We will let everyone feel the power of God. We will succeed. In that world there will be no darkness and no pain. We will stand at the top of the pyramid and lead the way. All the races of light achieve the pinnacle of glory!"

Listening to the fanatical religious declaration, Lance showed a look of pity: "There will never be any absolute light, and where there is light, there must be shadows. Eugene, the church has entered a period of time." Strange circle, constantly trying to prove the correctness of a paradox, I don't know what you're going to do, but you're bound to fail."

Eugene sneered: "Dark trash, you won't understand. When everything becomes reality and is torn apart by the light amidst the screams, you can repent as much as you want. I know you have never been what you appear on the surface. It's so simple, now that I look at it, it really is the product of that disgusting territory, you won't be proud for long, Lance, when the war starts, we will meet soon, at that time, I will use your flesh and internal organs The great cause of the church has built another ladder, please enjoy the gift I gave you, goodbye."

The next moment, countless light blades burst out from Lawrence's body. Lance was protected by Samuel behind him. The screams of the elves and the sound of falling to the ground came. It bulged out of the eye sockets.

Eugene stimulated the power in Lawrence's body, forcibly broke Samuel's magical shackles, overdrawn his life, and released the attack.

After all the power was released, Lawrence had already fallen into a coma, but his body began to swell, like an inflated balloon, constantly bulging, and soon swelled to three cups of normal size, and cracks began to appear in the skin, oozing blood, which was terrifying .

Samuel pulled Lance back and said coldly to the panicked elf: "Leave, the farther the better, his self-destruction will destroy all life within one kilometer."

Everyone dispersed and ran quickly in different directions. Lance wanted to spread his wings and fly into the sky, but Samuel carried him on his shoulders first and ran away quickly.

The surrounding scenery retreated rapidly, Lance kept looking back, suddenly his face changed, and he shouted: "Lie down!"

The defensive barrier was activated instantly, and a deafening explosion came from not far away, and the surrounding trees were smashed to pieces by the airflow. Lance felt a powerful air mass hit his barrier fiercely, and the transparent protective screen was shattered. It was blood red, and countless tiny pieces of minced meat hit it like a swift hailstone.

When everything calmed down, Lance got up and returned to the original place. Lawrence blew himself up into thousands of tiny pieces of meat scattered all around, not even a single larger bone could be found.

Lance closed his eyes, opened them slowly, and looked up at the sky in a daze.

"He killed his brother, Samuel, for his faith."

"He is already crazy, and the church will only be crazier than him."
