dark color

The air stood still for a moment.

A crimson liquid gushed out from the wound, merged into a bunch and dropped to the ground, merging with the blood that was spreading and gradually drying up.

Glid lowered his head stiffly, reaching out to touch the warm liquid.

is blood.It is the blood of the heart flowing out from his body known as the "strongest shield".The belated pain screamed sharply, tangling his blood, as if reminding him of the hollow.

The hard outer wall was broken, revealing the soft and fragile inner.

"Little devil..."

The man suddenly raised his head, looking at Ed's immature face that was very close.The boy's golden eyes were full of anger and determination, and there was something extremely tough and complicated in his expression, which made his blood-stained hands not tremble at all.At this moment, the teenager was even terribly calm, as if he had grown up suddenly overnight.

No, on that stormy night long, long ago, when he witnessed his brother who lost his body and the sin they created, he had grown up.

It was a wish that was so tragic that even if he lost his hands and feet, even if he was far away from his hometown, he vowed to fulfill it. For this purpose, even if he stained his own hands, he would...

Glid suddenly raised his head, and let out a deep laugh from his throat. "Heh, heh, ho-ho-ho--"

He showed his white teeth, and the shock in his expression faded away, leaving only more and more madness and excitement. "Little devil, I almost admire you. After such a long time, I almost forgot the feeling of being hurt...and you actually hurt me!"

"Tell me, how did you do it?"

Ed frowned slightly, and pulled the blade out of that body without hesitation. The splashed blood fell on his face, but he didn't even blink his eyes.

"Is it impossible to kill like this? Also, why should I tell you?"

"Don't say that,"

Glid returned to his frivolous tone again, "You just used the Formation Formation, right? Killing me once should be enough for you to calm down."

"...I can kill you once, and I can kill you a second time."

Dazed for a moment, Ed said coldly.

Grid paused, and suddenly covered his face and laughed out loud.Ed frowned and looked at him out of breath from laughing, "Little devil, don't make a mistake, you actually compare me with a human being, I am an immortal artificial human! How can ordinary methods kill me! "

"Not dead?"

Ed repeated his words without any wavering in his tone, "Then I'll kill you ten, a hundred, a thousand times. By then, will you still not die?"

Seeing Glide's suddenly gloomy face, the boy continued, "Actually, it doesn't matter if I tell you. The thing on the surface of your body is carbon, right?"

"The human body is mostly made of carbon, because it is arranged in different ways, but it is a soft lead core, and it can also be the hardest diamond. You extract them, change the structure and cover the body surface, right? And what I made Yes, it's just using the refining array to restore them to their original state."

The boy stood on the spot and said this, with a calm expression, and blood was still flowing from his forehead, but Ed couldn't attract the slightest attention.He stood there, his legs and feet spasmed slightly due to weakness, but he gave the impression that he was firm and strong enough to stand forever.It was as if the young man in front of him could not be defeated.

"As long as my existence doesn't disappear for a day, I will never let you have the possibility to hurt Al."

Alta, as long as you hide behind him like you did when you were a child, all the darkness and embarrassment in this world, you only need to let him face it alone.

It was obvious that he was the one who committed the crime, but why was Al the one who paid the price for it?

Raising his hand to wipe off the blood on his forehead, Ed said word by word, "Tell me how to recover my body, Glid!"

Seeing Ed like this, Glide was stunned for a moment, then sneered, "Before you kill me, you should look at your own appearance... such a tattered body wants to kill me, don't say Big talk!"

"Are you talking big...Grid?"

The boy put his hands together again and said loudly, "You won't know until you try it!"

"Tsk, what a stubborn brat."

With a low snort like this, the man's expression became serious, and he raised his leg and kicked towards the boy's soft abdomen.

The smell of blood in the air became more and more intense, and Pelso frowned as he looked at Ed, who had begun to lose his mind, and Glid, who was panting loudly but getting more excited.Then in the next second, both of them froze in place at the same time.Limbs seem to be out of their own control, unable to move.

Ed was still struggling, but Glid suddenly turned his head as if thinking of something, "It really is you!"

The corner of the mouth was still smiling, Pelsona said casually, "Okay, let's call it a day."

"But, Pelsona..."

"I said, stop here."

The unfamiliar cold tone, but with a feeling of terror that made people tremble in the soul, a hint of disbelief gradually rose in the boy's golden eyes, helpless and dazed.The person who said "Get out of the way, Edward Eric" appeared again. Ed wanted to tell himself that this was just an illusion, but Pelso didn't even give him this chance.So, where is that Pelsona who has lived with them for more than half a year, who is gentle and careful, who tolerates his mistakes and willfulness little by little, as if he has endless patience?Which one is the illusion?

He originally thought, he originally thought... During such a long period of time, they have already become like family members.

Ed stared blankly at the man with an indifferent and cold expression, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became ironic and evil.Pelso approached them step by step, his unhurried footsteps were actually the greatest contempt and arrogance.

The man didn't look at him, but walked up to Glid, and easily picked up the man who nearly killed him.Then he turned his head and said, "I'm so disappointed in you, Ed."

The boy's eyes that were gradually widening didn't even shake his icy voice. Pelsona let go of his hand, letting Glid fall to the ground, and continued, "For such a person, you've already passed out. Out of your head?"

"Or, the success of forming a formation has made you so carried away that you think you are omnipotent?"

"Edward Eric, do you want to die here?"

He uttered these three questions in a calm tone, but there was an indescribable coldness and pressure in his non-intense tone, "Hmph, that's all."

He glanced at him, and there was something dark in his eyes, but it was just a flash.Ed's body suddenly shook, as if some kind of restriction had been lifted.The control of the body was back in his hands, but the ominous premonition in his heart became stronger, Ed struggled and ran towards that person, almost instinctively said, "Wait, wait a minute, Pelsona—"

He treats his life so willfully, not because of recklessness and arrogance, but because the person he unknowingly treats as a family member and trusts him is standing by his side!

However, it was a step too late after all, that person's nature was so cold that he didn't even want to turn around.It's not that Ed didn't notice Pelso's complicated look, but he could only watch helplessly as the man mentioned Glid, who didn't say a word, and then disappeared in an instant.

######################################### "You brought me here because of this guy named Glid ?”

Atobe folded his arms, looking at Glid with some disgust at the frivolous but crazy smile on his face.

"of course not,"

Pelsona smiled slightly, gentle and soft, but his eyes were so cold that there was no warmth, "It's just Ed's place, I can't live any longer."

The mission of the military department is to kill all synthetic beasts and their accomplices. Letting go of Glider is almost equivalent to betrayal. However, the deeper reason is...

Pelsona paused, ignoring Glid who suddenly yelled, and just said to Atobe, "Have you found out about that person?"

"Who do you think my uncle is?"

Caressing the tear mole at the corner of his eye with one hand, Atobe asked questions without answering, and made Pelsona smile slowly with a slightly proud tone.

Although the intelligence network invested with countless funds has not been established for a long time, it is enough to find a down-and-out alchemist.

"Aren't you going to ask me why I left Ed's house?"

"That's your business, and what I have to do is to try my best to realize your wish."

From the very beginning, that's what he wanted to do, and it never changed.Even if it's just a little bit, he wants to do everything in his power to snatch his life from the ever-lost time.

"correct,"

As if remembering something, Atobe took out a few small red stones from his pocket, and put them in Pelso's hand with a slightly surprised look in his eyes.

Glid suddenly struggled violently, "Where did you get this kind of thing!"

Those unremarkable red stones are clearly...

"Huh?"

Atobe glanced at him, but ignored him.

"The official name is 'Red Stone'. However, in the underground auction house, it is called the 'Stone of Life'. It is regarded as a treasure by alchemists... Although it is strictly forbidden to circulate, there are still alchemists who ignore it. They want to get everything. The military cannot control this kind of private reselling at all, as long as they have enough money, they can even make them spend more... The time is really too short."

The boy frowned somewhat annoyedly, "Is this what you want? It's a pity there's only this little bit."

"Do not,"

Pelsona leaned over and smoothed his eyebrows with his slender fingers.

Atobe raised his head in a daze, and was facing Pelso's meaningful smile, "It's just these, it's enough."

The young man in front of him can always surprise him in his own way.
