Heartbreaker

My undead body emerged from the heavy armor, and the sporadic blue flames, like iron filings attracted by a magnet, quickly condensed into a scythe in my hand, blocking the sickle blade of the female undead!

Everything happened in the blink of an eye, and Knight Plummer's life was hanging by a thread, and any delay could not be undone.I felt a chill in my skin, and there was no induction between the undead. I didn't perceive that there was another undead in the Faint Vine Castle.The bluish white and faint blue flames collided and burst at the junction of the sharp blades, like two falling meteors exploding in mid-air, destroying the attic in an instant, and igniting the room full of fire!

"Knight Commander!"

I shouted anxiously, lest something happen to him.

"Do you still have time to take care of other people?" The cold and hoarse voice of the female undead sounded behind me, and the giant scythe struck me like a beam of wandering light, preventing me from being distracted in the slightest.I swung my sickle to resist her attack, and the friction of the sickle was like a saw cutting a whetstone. The fortified buildings suddenly clattered and sprinkled debris all over the place.

Countless black smoke exploded from the attic of the Faint Vine Castle, and the flames jumped up the ruined walls, engulfing the lacquered red castle into a sea of ​​flames.I flew into the air, chanted the spell to make the scythe stretch again, and forced the female undead to leave the castle.She snorted coldly, and her figure floated under the sky, like a black fish swimming in a sea of ​​thick ink.

The high altitude will not hurt the innocent, and it also gives me plenty of space to use my hands and feet.The giant scythe swept circles of fan-shaped halos in the dark night, and she leaped lightly at the end of those cold lights, as if dancing on the land full of spikes, avoiding the deadly sharp edge accurately.

"do you know."

She moved nimbly through the faint blue flames, and her movements were so agile that even the "fire pupils" of the undead could not be seen clearly.The too long scythe restricted my movement, I quickly shrunk it down, and when the swift figure of the female undead rushed towards me, I struggled to block the sharp blade she was about to stab!

"Hmm..." I struggled to support my sickle, the faint blue flame was completely inferior to the bluish white flame from her fingertips.I saw the flame jumping higher and burning more intensely, writhing ferociously in the night sky, reflecting my pale and astonished face.

"You are far behind." She said, with an inexplicable desolation in her tone, "You don't know how to kill at all."

I violently pushed her away a few feet.She floated in mid-air, chanted a series of cold incantations, and the bluish-white flames rushed towards me like a monstrous tide!There was a tearing pain in my eye sockets, and I tried my best to make the blue flames converge into one, forming a light curtain that pierced the darkness, like a roaring waterfall, resisting the overwhelming waves of flames.

The two radiant light spheres are like the wings of a butterfly that have been destroyed in the strong wind, tearing apart the rift in the silent night.In an instant, the light of the sky broke, and the flames were shattered and eliminated by the sparks that were shot out, showering a rain of light on the world.

"Uh……"

Her blaze grew wilder and never-ending, like a vortex of unfathomable light, which made it hard for me to even watch.I realized that my strength gradually dissipated from the flames and light escaping from my body, my hair fluttered wildly, and even the air turned into sharp blades, cutting my cheeks.

No, I can't give up...

I moved my body forward, almost pointing my chest at the countless bayonets, and let the rapid air flow pull the last bit of strength out of my muscles to fill the blue light curtain.She was pushed, and the bluish-white flame gradually weakened.seems to work.The colorful and complex circles of light dazzled me, and the vortex of air flow seemed to punch countless holes in my body. I felt my legs and feet were sore, my arms were numb, and my trembling flesh and blood seemed to be falling apart in the next second...

【Ro...】

Lemon's face suddenly appeared in my mind.When I was happy, I used my broken soul to search for perfection, and all I touched was another sour and rotten soul, and the dark and sticky gray world behind it.

There is a long staircase in the world, and at the end is a door that is concealed. A beam of light timidly pokes out the head from behind the door, completely hidden by the back of that person.

And Clement sat on a step tilted, wearing tattered clothes and cloth boots, wrapped himself in a cloak, leaned his head against the wall, and tapped one foot carelessly on the ground.

Ro...

do you know……

I have known for a long time that with my strength, I can't take revenge at all, and I can't hurt Elliot at all...

But now it's different, I have you...

You are my hope to go on...

Do you know, Luo... So, don't cry, don't fall down, don't say those frustrating words... Just treat it for me, just treat it because of the so-called soul covenant between the master and the undead, anyone can leave , but don't go...

okay...

He looked at me, a gleam of light gradually appeared in his empty eyes.I half-kneeled in front of him and kissed his palm, and he wrapped me in the dusty cloak and blocked mine with his lips.His lips were hot, and his breath seemed to be evaporating from a molten pool.We exchanged each other's breaths until the last trace of oxygen was exhausted, the chest was suffocated, the shadow of death hung over the head, and the dark and restless ticking sound seemed to herald the passing of life.And none of us moved, silent, sinking, solidified into stone together with time and the fine dust in the air.

That was his pain.

If it's his, it's mine.

I don't want to give up.

I want to make a last effort.

I still have people to save, and the truth to seek...

The blue light curtain suddenly swelled and expanded, and the flames blazed!I headed against the howling current, like a small boat rushing into a tsunami that covered the sky and the sun.I supported the oppression of the ball of light with one hand, and condensed the shape of a scythe with the other hand, stabbing at her opening——

With a clang, another scythe followed like a shadow, catching my full blow.I trembled all over, and heard a faint rustling sound coming from inside my body, as if pieces of lime were falling off the wall.

She was holding a giant scythe in her hand, and the bluish-white flame still lingered on the scythe blade, but it was bigger and more dazzling, even mixed with squirming blood, like a bloody eyeball.

"Sorry." The female undead said, with a light voice like a giant stepped on my back, "What I used just now is actually less than one-tenth of my total strength."

****

Fallows leapt as the attic burned, swiftly grabbing a handful of wriggling gray vines in the fall.His palm was soon soaked with dry liquid, like tears from vines, which made his skin tight.

He looked up and couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.The two undead left the top of the castle one after another, and the blue and blue-white flames cut bright cracks in the air like intertwined fireworks meteors, chasing upwards, and blasted a thrilling beauty on the dome.

Undead Luo seems to be in a hard fight, but Fallows is powerless and has no time to take care of it at this time.He immediately blew the horn to inform the Winter Ting Army who were still in the castle that things had changed.He nimbly crawled along the dense gray vines, and probably crawled outside Hahn Kupper's bedroom, and immediately kicked the broken glass and jumped in from the window!

nobody.

Fallows fell in the shiny debris all over the floor, rolled to the ground, and saw that the bed was not messed up, he couldn't help gnashing his teeth in annoyance.The drunk castle owner was not helped back to the bedroom to rest, but was sent to another place without anyone noticing. This dinner was already a well-arranged conspiracy.

He rushed out the door and ran down the spiral staircase blowing the horn.After rushing down the last step, all the Winter Ting Army brought into the city gathered around Fallows, their eyes also filled with cheated anger.

"Knight Commander, we caught a few servants who were trying to slip away."

Several soldiers knelt down the shivering servants, and Fallows didn't have the patience to interrogate them, and shouted directly, "Where are your master and his [-] soldiers?!"

A servant mourned, "We are just serving the adults, how do we know these secrets..."

Fallows stared angrily, "If you dare say you don't know, I'll cut off your head!"

The servant begged, "My lord, I really don't know..."

With a bang, the servant's head was instantly chopped off.The other servants screamed in unison, the red blood splashed onto the blanket, and Pharos' beast-like roar overwhelmed everything, "Who else dares to tell me 'I don't know'!!"

Another servant shouted, "My lord, the underground secret passages of the Faint Vine Castle are intricate, like a maze, connecting the large and small forts together. We guess that Master Hahn and other soldiers must have entered a certain secret passage. But which one it is, we really don’t know!”

Fallows was taken aback. At this time, another soldier of the Winter Ting Army said, "Chief Knight, now is not the time to arrest Hahn Kupper! We must leave here quickly and join the others!"

The young knight stomped his feet angrily, clenched his fists and said, "You are right, we have to hurry—"

咴——! !

Suddenly there was the neighing of a horse outside the window.Fallows' expression changed, "Oops!"

They rushed out of the castle, pushed open the heavy door, and were immediately shocked by the unbelievable and treacherous scene in front of them!The corpses of soldiers of the Winter Ting Army were all over the place. Skeletons stepped on the ground in a pool of blood, and the bones of their hands were covered with blood.They stripped the corpse of the Winter Ting Army from the armor, and the skeleton was still covered with mud residue, directly covered the body in the armor, and tremblingly stepped onto the saddle.

Fallows was the first to wake from the hellish scene, and shouted, swinging his sword, "Don't let them go!"

At this moment, a bloody and hoarse singing sounded from mid-air.When the snow-white skeletons heard the singing, they raised their arms high, waved their swords, and roared sharply.The singing sounded like poisonous insects piercing into the eardrums, Fallows snorted in pain, and suddenly fell to his knees, cold sweat soaked the skirt of his clothes immediately.

The other Winter Ting troops also cried out in pain to varying degrees.The singing voice was sharp and vicious, and each note was like a stinking corpse in the gutter, covered with countless poisonous bacteria, feeding the ugliest side of human beings at the end of their lives.

Fallows covered his head, hot sweat dripping down his chin.Although the melody is quite different, the trembling from the heart tells him that this is also the "song of the dead".It's just that the singing voice he heard can remind people of warmth and beauty, but this singing voice can only make people collapse and go crazy!

They were struggling in the soul-stirring song of the undead, while the skeleton soldiers dressed as the Winter Ting Army galloped away on horseback under the instruction of the song of the undead.

****

She grabbed my neck and threw me far away.

My neck seemed to be crushed by her pincer-like fingers, dispelling her strength in mid-air, barely stopping my figure.She didn't give me the aftertaste of breathing, and the mighty scythe came towards me, like a dense light net.I struggled to dodge in the gaps. I had consumed too much energy in the face-to-face confrontation with her before, and now I was at a loss.

However, just when I thought she would split my body with the scythe several times, the light blade miraculously passed me by.At first I thought it was my luck, but later I found out that it was because she didn't attack my vitals at all.

"Do you still want to resist?"

She said indifferently, her hoarse voice seemed to be deliberately put on.Panting exhaustedly, I transformed my scythe, but I didn't even have the strength to hold it.

"Why?" She looked at me through the black hood and said, "Although ordinary weapons can't hurt the undead, another undead's scythe can make it shatter."

The lonely figure of Lemon flashed in my mind.I struggled to stand up, stared at her, and said, "I have something to protect, even if I try my best..."

"Is it your master?"

Her tone became cold to the bone in an instant.I held the scythe in front of me, but instead of attacking, she sang a song.

"The world deceives me, so I am never grateful;

The whole world owes me, so I have no attachment.

The world is dirty and filthy,

This man's heart is as black as a swamp.

Do not want to see, do not blindfold, but wipe them all out.

If you don't want to hear it, don't cover your ears, but destroy it all.

My hatred is like a raging sea wind, and the combination is a huge wave,

My resentment is like a high cliff, and if I bow my head, it is an abyss.

Hate, resent, be angry, scream,

This is the end of heaven, the top of hell, the only path the world has chosen for us..."

The deep-seated hatred in her singing made my brain ache, and the vicious melody penetrated into my body, corrupting my soul.In a daze, I heard commotion coming from the cemetery behind the Faint Vine Castle.Under the pale moonlight, dead bodies suddenly emerged from the graves.Their skin and flesh have long since disappeared, leaving only a pair of desolate white bones, screaming, jumping and waving their arms under the singing of the female undead.

[Go and kill the Winter Ting Army waiting outside the castle, put on their armor, replace them, and ride the horse to their camp...]

From the singing, I heard the instructions given by the female undead to the skeletons.I was so anxious that I wanted to stop them, but the female undead kept attacking me with a scythe, draining my strength and blocking my way, but they never gave me a fatal blow.

Tap, tap, tap...

The soldiers dressed as skeletons have already galloped out of the castle on their horses, heading for the military camp not far away.I flew towards them, with another undead right behind me.When I was at a loss, I sang my song of the undead, trying to weaken the hatred in the singing of the female undead and slow down the progress of the skeleton corpses.

"It's useless." The other party's indifferent and cold voice came, and with a heavy blow, I was knocked down in the air, "Your singing conveys kindness and beauty. And they are the dead souls of the Twilight Empire. The beauty infecting them is just to remind them of the happiness they had in life, to hate the sad situation now, and to want to kill the people of the Wanjiang Empire."

"..." I held the scythe, and the faint blue light lingered around me, only to hear her cold smile.

"Didn't I say..." she said softly.Although I couldn't see her face and eyes, I suddenly felt a piercing pain slowly spreading from the depths of my soul.

"Resentment, despair, powerlessness, crawling forward on the dark road, deceiving oneself and others with fleeting hope... Life is always soaked in desolation like the sunset, gradually fading its color, and becoming the prelude to the coming of darkness-this is the essence of the world original appearance."

****

Fallows and the remaining Winter Ting Army rode the horses from the stables of the Faint Vine Castle, and ran towards the barracks outside the city with whipped horses.

damn it!

He whipped his horse's buttocks hard, and ran towards the camp where the Winter Ting Army was stationed amidst the neighing of the steed.As expected, things were going in the worst direction. Those skeleton soldiers fought with other Winter Ting troops, and the flames reflected the general camp like a hell where magma billowed.

Fallows jumped off his horse and shouted, "Beware, they are undead driven by undead! They may be immortal!"

His voice was lost in the harsh clash of swords.The Winter Ting soldiers tried hard to chop the torsos of the undead skeletons, but to no avail. Their severed skeletons could be reattached, and there were jumping bones all over the floor.

Fallows crushed a leg bone that was bouncing around and trying to get it back on his hip bone. The skeleton screamed, and without even swinging the sword, it directly swung the sharp hand bone and stabbed at the young knight.Fallows blocked the attack of the skeleton, and with a strenuous cry, he knocked it to the ground and chopped it into pieces!

Then, he watched helplessly as the fragments were surrounded by an invisible black air and re-bonded.Fallows had no time to shatter the skeleton again, and another mad skeleton ran up behind him, slashing at him.

There were more than a dozen bodies of the Winter Ting Army on the ground.Fallows closed his dry eyes, feeling the hilt of the sword slipping away from his sweaty palm.He opened his eyes, and was about to fight to the death, when a dark blue figure suddenly appeared in midair, like a suspended flame, flying towards their camp!

Almost immediately, Fallows recognized that it belonged to Undead Luo's spirit body, and shouted at the others, "Separate from the skeleton, keep a distance!"

With a whoosh, the grass clippings and stones caught in the mud were blown up by the gust of wind, and in the blink of an eye, the scythe of the undead swept over the skeletons of hundreds of skeletons.

The black air floating in the skeleton screeched away, and after a brief frenzy, those skeletons fell to the ground completely, becoming a pool of lifeless bones.

****

I used the scythe to support the body that was about to fall, and felt the breath rush in and out from the heaving chest cavity.The figure of the female undead wandered in the dark night, landed in front of me, and looked at me without saying a word.

"I deny that what you said is the original appearance of the world..."

I stood up tremblingly, staggered and almost fell again.I understand that I am not qualified to say these words at this time, but I still insist on getting up, trying to make my posture look less embarrassed.

"And, there is something I want to tell you..."

I took a deep breath, and my hair was messy covering my forehead, blocking my vision, "Dawn is better than sunset..."

She didn't speak, and we were relatively speechless.I tried my best to recover some energy while she was silent, trying to gather those faint scattered flames...

"Ro."

I heard a familiar voice.

A voice that was so familiar that it couldn't be more familiar.It has soaked the sunset, flew over the endless fields and fragrant wild flowers, and intertwined with my voice.Together we call out to the world and God towards the cloudy valley, sharing each other's joys and sorrows.It makes me feel very familiar, but it is so strange at the moment.

It's calling my name.

"You are still the same as before. The world has changed, but you are still the same as before."

The female undead in front of her spoke sadly, her hood blown off by the night wind.Her short, messy black hair was scattered in the air, revealing her true face.

And the moment I saw her true face, my heart was completely frozen.

"do you know……"

She rushed towards me, the blue-white flame burning in the palm of her hand, piercing through the wall of light I used for defense, her voice was as distant as tiny flying dust intertwined in the wind.

"Undead can become human, as long as its master dies, as long as it does not choose to accompany the master, but chooses to devour the master's soul."

She hit me, causing my faint blue flame to collapse and disappear.I am like a kite with a broken string, a stone thrown into a frozen lake, falling from a high altitude, but being connected to a pair of arms.

Cold tears ran down my cheeks and into the depths of my stiff eyeholes.I couldn't move, but I could only vaguely see her bright eyes filled with tears, like melting ice.

"I will kill your master, Lemon Bonespur. I will tear him from his throne and smash the heavy crown on his cheeky face. I will strip his soul and fill your cripple, make you a real 'human'..."

I passed out, my soul was rampaging in a completely unconscious body, screaming desperately and frantically.It cried bitterly, struggled, roared, wanted to break through everything, wanted to wake up the lifeless body and stand up.

——Only you are worthy of all this, worthy of having a complete soul.

——You are already very tired, go to sleep for a while, Luo...

No.

I heard the scream of the soul.

I do not want.
