Law of the Dragon

"Let me tell you, that bug will eat itself..." Xilu raised his voice and said that Eros caring about Norman made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Hush!" Eros whispered to Xi Lu, but his eyes were fixed on Norman.

What does he want...?

"...No!" Xilu suddenly called out.

Before his voice fell, a sudden huge force slammed over, knocking Eros out of the whole body!

Eros leaped back in mid-air, slid back incessantly, and with a "swish", spread the huge black wings, and managed to stabilize his body.

"What's going on?" Xilu asked quickly.

Eros' face turned pale instantly: "It's the power to expel darkness."

"What do you mean?" Before Xilu finished speaking, another force pushed towards him like a huge invisible plane, and Eros was knocked and flew out again.

The two impacts were too unexpected, and Eros was unprepared, and the whole person fell backwards, but instead of falling on the solid ground, he fell into the arms of a person.

Eros was startled, and looked at the person holding him: "Gabriel?! Why are you here?"

The person holding Eros turned out to be the elf prince Gabriel. Gabriel didn't look at Eros, but hugged him gently, and a transparent silver enchantment as thin as a cicada's wings unfolded beside him.

Only then did Eros see clearly what was going on. The silver dust seemed to be flying in the air, covering every corner of the place with an uncompromising coldness.Like an enlarged sphere, it slowly licks the walls of every building here, every tree and every blade of grass, the silvery dust glistens in the sun, reflecting each other everywhere, As beautiful and...dead as fragments of a star falling.

"What's going on?" Eros instinctively stuck to Gabriel's body. Although the flying silver dust outside was extraordinarily beautiful, it made him feel ominous. "How could this be?"

"What did you give him?" Gabriel asked back.

"Me? I don't have anything..." Eros stopped here, remembering Norman's previous actions, "But I didn't give it to him, he bought it from me..."

"What is it?"

Eros opened his mouth: "Cold, cold heart."

"Where did you get such a thing?" Gabriel turned around and walked outside.

"I was going to use that thing for myself, for my own use!" Eros retorted, "I didn't expect that he would buy it from me, nor did I expect that the dark power of the demon god would lose control..." He stopped here Yes, the loss of control of those dark forces has nothing to do with him, he is not a real king, he just wants the gold coins in the treasury.But he still took out the cold heart, and risked the danger to seal the darkness together with Norman.

Yes, that's what he did, saving that place with Norman, it wasn't because he suddenly turned to the God of Light, it was just because of that person's back.He went to that dark place without any hesitation, and handed everything over to himself. He knew that he would work hard to save the third district.

"What the hell have you guys done..." Gabriel frowned after hearing the word demon god.

He walked through the long colonnade in the Vatican with Eros in his arms. There was still a dead silence. Some people fell there, as if they were asleep. Silver dust was flying around them. No one stood or woke up. .

"Did Norman do it? What did he do to them?" Eros couldn't help asking.

"He..." Gabriel opened his lips, and finally said, "He decided to 'purify' this place, because this place should be the cleanest place for human beings, a place where faith and goodwill are gathered, but it has been reduced to power. tools. The believers of the God of Light are not only reduced to the minions of the God of Darkness, they lack faith..."

"We all know what the hell this place has turned into. I just want to ask you what happened to Norman? What is he going to do?" Eros interrupted Gabriel unceremoniously. He was probably the only one who dared to do this to Gabriel. Lie spoke.

Gabriel didn't take it seriously: "He wants to purify this place, using the power of a cold heart."

Eros said with emotion: "I didn't know that the cold heart can be used like this."

"Ah, yes..." Gabriel was silent for a while, and had already walked out of the Holy See with Eros in his arms. "He is using his life to completely purify this place."

"What?" Eros was stunned, "What are you talking about? Use life to do a thorough purification?" He was so surprised that he didn't even notice that the elf had put him down.

"He has never evaded his responsibilities and missions, whether it was at the beginning or now, even when I wanted to take him away..." Gabriel said softly, "He is no longer able to complete the task of God. He is already desperate for the task entrusted to him."

"Will he... die?"

Gabriel looked at the silver dust flying inside the barrier: "He will die and become a part of this place. After the purification is completed, there will be nothing left."

"How could he do this, he..." Eros turned and ran towards the barrier, reaching out to touch the barrier——

"It hurts!" As soon as Eros' knuckles touched the barrier, they were silently melted away by the silver dust inside, revealing the white phalanx under the flesh.

He was startled, and retracted his hand.On the eroded bones, and the fractured flesh wounds were covered with fine shiny silver dust, emitting a faint light among his flesh and blood.

The flesh and blood that should have grown rapidly did not move at all, and even the blood that should have gushed out did not fall, as if something was devouring his flesh and blood, and his rebirth power could not keep up with the speed of the other party's devouring.

"This... isn't it a joke?" Eros stared at his fingers. Three fingers on that hand were injured, and white bones appeared on the white and soft skin.

"No kidding," Gabriel looked at Eros's hand, "You see, the power of purification."

"Then..." Eros looked blankly at the huge building covered in silver dust, "What about Norman?"

"I'll pull him back," Gabriel said softly.

The powerful purification power based on life is cleaning every dark corner in the most thorough way.His way is so stubborn and thorough, he will not learn to compromise and give in at all.

After Gabriel finished speaking, he turned and walked there.

"You can't pull it back," Eros stretched out his hand to grab Gabriel's arm, "This is a kind of sacrifice, which existed a long, long time ago...you know, your god and the god of darkness didn't The essential difference, for the special bloodline, they are happy to accept it."

"I know," Gabriel's voice was as cold and quiet as ever, and he gently held Eros's hand, "but even then, I will go, and I promise him that I will take him away."

"But..." Before Eros finished speaking, Gabriel had already pushed his hand away, turned around and walked into the silver dust, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"But... you obviously can't stop it, why do you want to go?" Eros stood outside the barrier blankly. He wanted to go in with Gabriel. He seemed to tell Norman that this would not solve any problems, why? Want to bet your life? ...Yeah, why not take an easier path?

"Just because...he couldn't betray himself."

He suddenly remembered this sentence, this is what Norman once told him, that's right - it was said to him not long ago, when Thakro chose to "prove himself" in the annihilation space.

"It has nothing to do with how difficult it is, and it has nothing to do with whether I can do it. It's just because I can't choose the first way, so I can only go the other way. I actually have no choice."

Thakro also said this, he cannot betray his own principles and beliefs, so he cannot choose the path that the weak should take, but choose a path that cannot be turned back, even though it will make him irreparable.

"Why..." Eros took a step forward, the cold and pure breath rushed towards his face, and the silver substance on his fingertips was stuck there like needles, warning him not to act rashly.

"Let's...let's go," Xi Lu whispered, "Your hand is hurt, we have to find a place to clean that thing up, or those things will completely corrode you..."

But I don't care at all, Eros looked at the enchantment close at hand, where the silver dust danced in the air and shone brightly in the sun, reminiscent of the scene described in the hymn of the God of Light—maybe that real time.The God of Light has never been a benevolent god, and he rejects darkness in such a thorough and decisive way.

"I want to go in." Eros suddenly took the ring off his finger.

"What are you talking about! What are you talking about!" Xi Lu yelled, "Don't say stupid things, you can't do anything! Don't go!"

Eros put the ring on the ground gently: "Because I knew I couldn't do anything, so I didn't do anything at that time. I have been living in regret and guilt, Xilu, I have always regretted it, why did I I didn’t go to the annihilation space with Sa Keluo. Compared with them, I chose an easier path, I was cowardly, I betrayed my sincerity...I can’t be cowardly anymore.”

"But this has nothing to do with cowardice!" Xilu cried desperately, but now he has neither limbs nor strength, and he can only stay in the ring, "Eros! This is between the God of Light and his servants." They are voluntary sacrifices, why do you want to get involved! Norman is voluntary, Gabriel can't pull him back, and you can't pull him back! This is his own wish, why do you..."

"I don't want him to die," Eros said softly, "because we are friends."

From the time when they met very early, in the church, the boy who stood in front of the afterimage and prayed devoutly met him, and they have become friends.Their positions are obviously different, but they have a good impression of each other. They used to walk side by side in the darkness. In the huge darkness, no one abandoned the other, and they worked together to seal the darkness.When Norman was frustrated, he accompanied and comforted him all the way. When everyone accused him, he stood by his side and spoke for him. Even this time...

"I...can't choose the easy way anymore," Eros said softly, as if telling himself, "I can't...betray myself any more."
