"No wonder the big mouse is willing to show off the source of his power with pride. From the beginning, in his eyes, I was certain to die."
On the shore of the Lake of the Soul, the somewhat illusory Lester stood naked in his own spiritual world, staring at the sparkling calm lake under the starry sky.
The man smiled to himself.
He didn't know who he was talking to. Maybe he was just confiding his last words, or maybe he was talking to himself, calling for the runes in his body that he had never seen before, looking for the last glimmer of hope. After all, The only thing that can fight against runes is runes.
What's funny is that, after going full circle, Rose may have known about her possession of the world runes, Meredith also knew about it, and even the big mouse they just met knew about it. Only she had just known it. Know.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
"In this inescapable battle, I have done my best,
Using the [Blood Knight] magic steel equipment with suppressed power to deal with the rune stone was destined to end like this from the beginning, but I had no choice, because without the Blood Knight, I would die faster. The target is me. I fight with the power of the world of Rune Continent with my mortal power. Failure is inevitable.
The moment I understood that the crown was a rune stone, I knew that I had no chance of winning. "
The man lowered his head. The lake should have reflected his face, but this was not a real lake after all, so naturally there would be no image of a human face.
There is nothing under the surface of the lake, and he knows it better than anyone else.
This place should have been nothingness, and he created everything. At this moment, he will also return to nothingness in nothingness. He has lost the body that carries his spirit, and his spirit will inevitably disappear. At this moment, he can only live for a few more minutes here.
Naturally, he would not receive any response. The man took steps and slowly walked into the lake.
Pride prompts men to let their spirit die first before the body.
As for whether the fully loaded magic steel plate armor condensed with ice elements could kill the Rat King, it was no longer within the scope of his consideration.
Maybe it won't explode at all, just like his own sword, it can be easily controlled by the Rat King.
"I fully accept my failure. As for whether there are any runes in my body, it has never come out. You are right, big rat, winner, king, loser, there is nothing to say."
Going deeper and deeper, the lake water submerged in the man's chest,
neck,
jaw,
until completely submerged in water.
Closing his eyes, the man savored the approaching suffocation and waited calmly for death.
He used to enjoy this feeling because it made him feel like he was still alive.
"dad……"
The water pressure is getting stronger and stronger, and the body is getting heavier and heavier. The man himself doesn't know that the lake in his soul is already so deep.
"dad……"
The body sank rapidly with the waves and undercurrents, as if there was no end.
"dad……"
The sound was faint, but it was not an illusion.
There was a voice calling his father.
The man suddenly opened his eyes and glanced around the dark environment in a daze. His sight finally settled on the bottom. Deeper at the bottom of the lake, there was a group of shining green light, full of the lively breath of life, but he was alone in the darkness. There is some loneliness and loneliness.
Some things, when you think they don't exist, you really can't see them.
"dad……"
The body continued to sink, and the pure baby voice in his ears became clearer and clearer. The man could clearly feel the emotional changes in the voice.
The owner of the voice became more joyful and intimate, but still could not tell the gender, or there was no gender at all.
After the body reaches a certain limit, the pressure of the spiritual lake begins to increase suddenly, and the man understands that he does not have much time.
And unexpected and reasonable variables are not far away.
Although it was too late, doing nothing when there was a slight possibility has never been Leicester's life creed.
Sighing secretly, squeezing the last trace of oxygen from his lungs, the man who regained his fighting spirit turned his body half a circle and began to swim deeper.
Ten meters...five meters...three meters...one meter, the man stretched out his hand.
"Gululu...Gululu..."
As the resistance increased, when he was only half a meter away from the green light group at the bottom of the lake, a string of drowning bubbles emerged from the corner of the man's mouth. His body lost the last bit of strength, and his consciousness gradually dissipated.
"dad……"
A clearer call lingered in his ears, and the familiar tone and timbre reminded the man of a memory he didn't want to remember in this life.
The corner of the man's mouth became a little bitter.
"Actually, I also regard you as my father... Promise me not to be a eunuch in your next life, and be nice to the girls who like you."
'So you are here, Elena, and you have never left me. '
After all, he remembered the name he didn't want to remember, but unfortunately his body lost control and began to float, getting further and further away from the green light group.
"Dad...my...name is Ai...Lin...Na..."
The childish voice echoed in the dark bottom of the lake, and the motionless green light seemed to have found its home. It turned into a stream of light and followed the direction of the man's rise, integrating into the man's spiritual body.
"Ai... Lin... Na... finally... found... dad..."
…
"boom!!!"
Before the flame-shaped sword could be slashed, the expanded blood knight's plate armor suddenly exploded, and the power of runes wrapped with mutated ice elements ruthlessly froze everything in the crypt in a circular shock wave, completely freezing the underground world.
Maintaining a downward slashing posture, the Bloodstone Rat King closest to Leicester was condensed into a ferocious ice sculpture. Only his eyes could move a few times, and the Rat King looked at a loss.
It was clear that he was almost able to kill the enemy and obtain the recognition of the Holy Stone. Why did it suddenly turn into this situation?
In the eyes of the Rat King, the most peculiar thing is that after the enemy's plate armor exploded, the human body did not become torn apart. Instead, it was wrapped by a thin layer of transparent ice shell, like an ice cocoon. A glistening green light slowly emerged and flowed from the man's smooth and beautiful body. The body hair was gradually dyed a dazzling silvery white due to the mutation, and the damaged body began to heal.
This kind of magical and powerful power... is almost like the Holy Stone of Blood that he serves.
Could it be said that this human being obtained the recognition of another holy stone through prayer?
Thinking of this, the Rat King couldn't help but become a little anxious, and began to use his mind to communicate with the holy stone on the Bloodstone Crown.
"Master, I beg you to give me more power to break the ice..."
"You have let me down too much."
When the Holy Stone cut off its connection with him, the Rat King was horrified to find that the Holy Stone turned into a pool of flashing red liquid and began to flow down from his horns, seeping into his scalp.
What followed was heartbreaking pain, and during the struggle, the ice that froze the body began to crack.
Scarlet obscure runes gradually appeared all over the body surface, and the terrifying turbulence that could not be resisted washed down. The Rat King's consciousness was like a plastic toy thrown into a crusher, and was destroyed by the world in less than a second. The runes were swallowed and annihilated, and the tall body completely became the container of the runes.
"destroy……"
The power of the scarlet runes exploded instantly, completely shattering the ice. The 'Rat King' regained his freedom, but his pupils completely turned into two special symbols that shone with a dark red light.
This symbol symbolizes aversion to life and approval of tyranny.
The flame-shaped sword in his hand gradually melted and was quickly absorbed by the body of the 'Rat King'. Soon, layers of dark red metal thin armor appeared in the fragile parts of the body.
After two steps in front of the man, the 'Rat King' raised his palm and slammed it down.
The violent power of the runes shattered the ice shell, and the 'Rat King' grabbed the man's neck and twisted it hard.
With a "click", Lester's neck was twisted, and then his head and body were completely separated, and the body was separated.
