(The latest update time may not be stable because more updates are added. Today’s chapter continues to be updated fiercely. The previous chapter was said to be the longest chapter in history, but it was broken the next day. It was embarrassing. Now this chapter has become the longest chapter ever, 13,000.)
The pitch-black material completely enveloped the square, and the deep darkness left no room for the midday sun to shine through.
But it is strange that even if it is so dim, people within the scope of the power of the God of Fear can still see things around them.
"There is no light, but you can see things around you... Is that thing the God of Fear? Or is it just a projection."
Wang Yu looked at the top of the black sky. There was a huge thing there, a twisted and vast shadow. The body was thin and slender, and the neck and limbs were short, thick and swollen. On the extremely long neck was a completely useless stone. A proportionate oval head with thousands of empty eyes, blinking and scanning everything below.
Wang Yu released his ripples and explored what the black things covering everything around him were. He was a little surprised by the feedback he received. They looked very similar to those twisted matter things in the void, but in essence they were It has nothing to do with it.
If I have to say it, this is a kind of materialized spiritual power, and the emotion contained in it is a kind of extremely aggressive fear. They are constantly drilling into the souls of the people around them and attacking them. They spread fear.
The fear born of the eroded person will counteract the fear in this space. The concept of fear in the materialized mental power is increasing and thickening as time goes by.
Of course, this has no effect on Wang Yu. Anything related to the soul or mental power has not been able to have an effect on him so far.
"The first wave of God's attack just now should be the moment when the fear shock is the most powerful. Both civilians and nobles should be affected. It's pure spiritual power rather than magic. I'm afraid this thing can't even protect it, and it can't be controlled. There’s more, let’s find Edward and Ciel first.”
Wang Yu completed the plan in a few seconds, left the obstructive alchemy sniper rifle on the roof, and jumped down. He had no need for that thing.
The only target to be solved now is the coming God of Fear, although it seems that He has not made any additional actions yet.
But Wang Yu had a hunch that if the concentration of "fear" around him continued to rise, something extremely bad would happen.
"Huh? Where's Ciel?" Wang Yu jumped down from the building, rolled lightly to remove the impact, and then glanced around, not seeing the figure of Ciel who was still there before, and he was a little confused.
The streets were full of fallen residents of the royal city. Everyone had extremely frightened and panic expressions on their faces, like people who were caught in a nightmare without realizing it. They were breathing heavily. Wang Yu, a guy with sensitive five senses, could not help but feel like he was a few meters away. Can hear.
The atmosphere was very strange. Even though the God of Fear had arrived, everyone seemed to be sleeping. However, Wang Yu knew clearly that this was just an appearance.
The expressions on the faces of the residents are beginning to twitch, and the teeth are trembling and colliding with each other. The fear is growing and spreading. When the fear reaches a certain level, the souls of these residents will be unbearable. In order to escape the boundless fear, Their souls will choose death...
Wang Yu did not see Ciel among the fallen residents around him. Recalling the existence named "One" in Ciel's body, Wang Yu changed his target, Edward.
Running back and forth between the squares, the surrounding civilians fell to the ground. Wang Yu did not take any extra time to observe them. I was sorry to say that he could not care about the lives of these strangers for the time being. Several familiar friends even made him Worry, he can't save everyone, he's not a hero.
Wang Yu was very fast and quickly jumped over the guardrails and walls around the square, arriving at the place where Edward and Miss Catman were hanging out.
Wang Yu glanced around in the dark environment, let out a slight sigh of surprise, and ran towards the figure that was unusually conspicuous among the piles of fallen residents.
At this moment, Miss Catman is half-kneeling on the ground, with tears in her eyes, pushing the fallen love next to her with her hands.
Dehua, his white cat ears drooped feebly, and the expression on his face was eager and worried.
"Edward, Edward, wake up, wake up quickly..."
Su Fang's anxious calls seemed abrupt in the dead silence around her, as did Wang Yu's running footsteps.
The cat's ears suddenly popped up, and Miss Catman turned her eyes warily to the direction in which Wang Yu was running. The anxious expression on her face changed into a fierce and slightly ferocious look, like a cat with explosive fur?
He grabbed the collar of the fallen Edward with both hands, subconsciously intending to lead Edward away from the possible threat.
"Ah! Mr. Wang Yu, that's great, please help Edward!"
However, after seeing clearly who the visitor was, the fierce expression quickly faded, and he anxiously asked Wang Yu for help.
"Understood. How is he doing? Also, are you okay?" Z.br>
Wang Yu responded, quickly came to the fallen Edward, squatted down, and explored Edward's situation.
Ripple penetrated the body and examined Edward's internal organs and other parts, but found no trauma. Edward's face looked terrible and painful, but his vital signs were normal.
"I don't know, Edward seems to be having a nightmare, or it's just a nightmare, because I just woke up from a nightmare."
Su Fang's words gave Wang Yu some ideas.
"Nightmare?"
"Well, nightmare, I feel like I have gone back to a bad day long ago, and I have been in that nightmare for a long time, but I have long been relieved of that day. I left there and came to the human city. I saw a lot of interesting things and met important people, so in the end, I came out..."
"Nightmare...are you scared?
"Well, that was probably the most frightening period for me. Fear permeated every moment of my life. However, such a day will never come again, so there is no need to fear it anymore..."
Looking at Edward, whose face was full of pain, Wang Yu took out a syringe from his pocket. Inside was a tube of clear and transparent potion with a slight blue light.
"Whether you are trapped in a nightmare or not, Miss Su Fang has successfully come out of it. It's a bit embarrassing that you haven't come out. I'll give you some exciting information and see if I can help you."
He glanced at the catman lady next to him. Unexpectedly, this owner of an ordinary flower shop in the royal city had a will and courage that ordinary people could not imagine.
Wang Yu said, piercing the tube of potion into Edward's chest. The shimmer potion has nothing to do with the special meaning of its name on earth. It was named this purely because of its slightly luminous properties.
This is an extremely powerful drug that will continuously stimulate various nerves in the human body, causing the brain activity of the person who is injected with the drug to soar. It can be said that this is purely adrenaline targeted at the brain.
The body affects the soul, and the brain has the strongest influence on the soul. Wang Yu gave Edward such an injection to stimulate his soul and wake him up from his nightmare.
Carrying Edward on his back, Wang Yu waved to the catman lady next to him who was still worried about Edward's condition.
"Let's go, leave this damn fear-covered area first. Even if you successfully walk out of your nightmare, the rising fear here will still continue to erode your soul."
Wang Yu's words made Su Fang realize that she was abnormal. Her worry about Edward obscured other emotions. At this moment, she felt palpitations, panic, and confusion. All kinds of negative emotions leading to fear were growing and spreading unknowingly. .
If she continues to stay in this area, sooner or later she will fall into it, not because of her past memories, but because of this pure fear.
Without hesitation, following Wang Yu's pace, Miss Catman and Wang Yu ran towards the border of this divine descending area.
"Uh?" Edward shouted suddenly, and then touched his head with some confusion. What was going on? He always felt that his memory was a little blurry, and it seemed that something had violently hit his brain just now.
Bag, I have something different in my mind, but I can’t figure out what it is.
"Snapped!"
"Ouch!"
The wooden sword struck Edward hard on the forehead, and the hot feeling made the blond boy recover from his distraction.
"Edward, what are you thinking about? This is sparring. If you were fighting a barbarian, your head would be split in half with a sword..."
The boy who was sparring with Edward was speechless. He was very dissatisfied with why Edward suddenly became absent-minded.
"Ah...I'm sorry, something suddenly occurred to me and I was a little distracted."
Edward touched his forehead, which was still in severe pain, and looked at the boy in front of him who looked about sixty-seven times similar to him and also had blond hair, and said apologetically.
The other party's name is Waltz Leonardo, the only son of Leon Leonardo, the Grand Duke of the North.
Edward's father was the swordsmanship instructor at the Grand Duke's residence. He was once a capable general in the Grand Duke's army. After retiring due to injury, he relied on his experienced experience and powerful combat skills to become the swordsmanship instructor at the Grand Duke's residence, responsible for teaching the Grand Duke's swordsmanship. The swordplay of the only son and some guards.
Edward also followed his father to live in the Grand Duke's mansion. Because they were close in age, he and Waltz, the Grand Duke's only son, were very good friends. They competed with each other for a long time. Both of them had very good talents and were considered the best among their peers.
"You must always concentrate on fighting. Whether you are a mage or a knight, it is the same. Isn't this what your father taught me? Why are you distracted there? Forget it, this is the end of today's sparring. Do it without concentration. Competing will only stagnate the progress of our skills."
Waltz shook his head, threw aside the wooden sword in his hand, waved his hand to signal Edward to stop practicing, and walked out towards the exit of the training ground.
"Okay." Edward put the wooden sword in his hand back on the wooden stand and nodded in agreement.
"Let's go, let's go. I'm starving. Hurry up and eat something. Come with me to the kitchen and ask Aunt Lemi to give me more food. Don't listen to what your father and my father want." Only by controlling what you eat can you exercise well. Eat when you are hungry, do you understand?"
"Uh-huh…"
Edward nodded while following the waltz, and at the same time looked at the extremely familiar scenes around him. The world outside the window was always white, the noisy wind could not be blocked by the thick castle walls, and he had long been accustomed to these characteristics of the North. No matter what, People who can sleep.
I felt a little weird. I had obviously been living here, but why did it feel like a long time had passed? I shook my fist and said, Edward Waring, what's wrong with you? Normally you don't think about this. of.
"Hey, what's the matter with you? Something's been wrong from the beginning. Did your brain get damaged when you hit the tree this morning? You were thinking about something by yourself. I've never seen you like this before. So deep."
Suddenly, Edward, who was thinking while walking, was punched in the chest by a fist, almost knocking him out of his chest. Then an arm was wrapped around his shoulders, and Waltz's dissatisfied words came simultaneously.
With a nonchalant look on his face, Waltz stared at Edward's confused face for a moment, then clicked his tongue.
"You look like you're not awake at first glance. What did you do last night? Did you go to see the cat again? Do something serious, Edward. I will become a grand duke in the future, a strong man who protects this land and its people. You Well, from now on you will be my right-hand man, right, also my little brother, how can you do this?"
Seeing Waltz pointing at him triumphantly, not looking like the son of an archduke at all, with a self-satisfied face, Edward felt a sense of déjà vu, but he didn't know where it came from.
I touched my chest where it was hit. It hurt so much. I felt like it shouldn't have been so heavy.
"Xia..." I didn't feel like I wanted to say a name, but as soon as I said the first word, I forgot what I was going to say next, and why I wanted to say this.
"Xia, what is Xia? Okay, I know you are not clear-headed. Just follow me. Eat more and your mind will be clear."
Still looking
Edward, who had been in a daze, had no choice but to waltz. He didn't know why his best friend, who usually had no big ideals or sense of responsibility, was so strange today.
"That's right, just follow him. It's the same as usual anyway..."
Shaking his head to get rid of the inexplicable sense of déjà vu and miscellaneous confusion in his mind, how could a seven or eight-year-old boy have any overly complicated thoughts? Edward followed the pace of the waltz.
Waltz was chatting excitedly with Edward on the way, about this land in the North, about the great achievements of his father Leon Leonardo, and the friendship between Edward's father and the Grand Duke.
"Do you understand, what is the most important thing as a noble, huh?" Waltz, who was walking in front, raised his eyebrows and turned back to wink at Edward who was behind him.
Edward was stunned for a moment, "Guarantee..."
"Ha, I know you don't understand. This is not how a qualified noble should behave. Let me tell you!"
The excited Waltz had already started his own "preaching" before he could say the words that suddenly jumped to his lips.
"The most important task of a noble is to protect their own people and the land we live on. Although nobles are generally very powerful, such as your father and my father, they are both great knights."
"But the food, clothes, etc. for food and clothing are all given to us by our citizens, including some resources for cultivation, etc., they are produced by them. We can't build houses, and they also built castles. , there are many similar ones.”
"In short, the citizens are very important to us, you know. Although there are some very annoying and unreasonable ones, we don't need to worry about them, but we must protect the others, you know, and let them live as well as possible. It’s a good time.”
"We have enjoyed things that they have not enjoyed, and naturally we should also shoulder the responsibilities that they have not."
Waltz was talking to himself, instilling his views into Edward, with high spirits and seriousness visible under his excited expression.
"What a great ideal. Is it worthy of the blood of that lion? I don't need to. It's not bad to follow Waltz, do a favor, and be a subordinate..."
Watching the dazzling son of the Grand Duke talking about his ideals, Edward felt a little respect, a little envy, and more recognition.
I definitely can't do what he does, nor can I shoulder the responsibilities he bears, but it is a good choice to follow the right person and give him the support I can.
"Hey, what are you giggling about? Are you listening to me carefully? Summarize it for me."
Waltz noticed the smile on Edward's lips, stopped with some dissatisfaction, looked at Edward seriously, and asked him to summarize what he just said.
Pointing at himself, Edward felt a little at a loss.
"I…?"
"Yes, you, God, did I say that you didn't feel anything after hearing so much?"
Waltz scratched his blond hair in a frenzy. He was speechless for his companion who was particularly awkward today. He had obviously been very cooperative with him before.
"The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility?" Edward hesitantly said what he had rummaged through in his mind, and what seemed to be a strange guy told him.
"Well... you actually listened carefully. I think this is quite reasonable. But if anyone doesn't give me the benefits of corresponding responsibilities and asks me to work for him in vain, I will definitely beat him severely. In this way, the greater the power, the greater the responsibility, so that’s right, hey, you’re not bad.”
After hearing this, Waltz made a thoughtful expression for two seconds, and then patted Edward's shoulders happily several times, making Edward feel a pain again, and he was happy that Edward was still somewhat enlightened.
"Okay, okay, let's go to the kitchen. Hehe, I don't know what I can eat today. Come on, come on. I want to eat some pheasant meat. This thing is not common..."
Waltz's head towards Edward and his body towards the kitchen
As I walked over, I naturally didn't see the person standing at the door of the kitchen, so I bumped into him.
"Ouch! Ser Warin? You...why are you here?"
When Waltz raised his head and saw who was standing in front of him, he was immediately frightened, as if he was a mouse caught stealing food by a cat.
"I still don't know what's going on with you kid. You come to the kitchen every day to eat secretly. You never take my teachings seriously. You even lead my son into a bad person, huh? Who said you are the son of my old boss? There’s no need to be so intrusive, just call me teacher.”
Edward's father was a strong man with only one arm. He was not tall, but he was strong and powerful. Even with one arm, he could still be the swordsmanship instructor of the Grand Duke's Palace, naturally because of his extremely strong personal ability.
He didn't look very angry at the moment, he just hit Waltz on the head and made him grin.
"Yes, teacher, I was wrong. What are you doing here? Are you looking for Edward? He is here." Waltz, who was holding his head, admitted his mistake again and again, and pointed at Edward behind him who was speechless.
"Okay, I'm here to see you two this time. Duke Leonardo has something to do today. There is a very important banquet tonight and you both have to attend, so I will take you there, you know. "
"It's a very important matter. Remember to wear your clothes well. Look at what you two handsome guys look like now. They are so disgraced that they are embarrassing to the Grand Duke's Palace. Go and change your clothes. Don't worry about the delicious food in your kitchen today. There’s something for you to eat at the banquet.”
Edward's father ignored the waltz and just told the two people that there was an important banquet related to the barbarians tonight.
"Okay!" When he heard that there was food, Waltz couldn't care less about the other words and cheered immediately. As a result, he was slapped on the head by Edward's father.
Watching this scene, the corners of Edward's mouth curled up slightly. It's always interesting to see Waltz deflate.
"The banquet..." While mumbling about the evening's affairs, Edward felt an uncomfortable feeling in his heart at this moment. He always felt that something was wrong, a bad premonition.
However, there was no basis or foreshadowing. While Edward felt strange, he just regarded this as part of the performance that had not been right since just now.
In the evening, in the banquet hall of the Grand Duke's Palace, Edward and Waltz sat on one side of the huge dining table, sitting together.
The main seat of the dining table was empty. It was supposed to be where the Grand Duke was sitting, but today the Grand Duke was not there, so it was empty.
On both sides of the main seat, sitting on one side was the Archduke's wife, and on the other side was his most trusted subordinate, Edward's father.
The dining table is now filled with food, which is absolutely delicious. Many of the ingredients are extremely rare monster meat, which is usually used to assist training, rather than being used as banquet delicacies like today. The taste is attractive and the aroma is overflowing.
"I'm so greedy, so greedy. When will the guests for the banquet come?" Waltz rubbed his hands impatiently while waiting for the guests to arrive. If the guests don't come, you can't touch the knife and fork, otherwise the teacher's vindictive whip will fly. coming.
Seeing Waltz's usual impatient expression, Edward couldn't get interested in the food on the table.
For no reason, there was always a vague feeling of uneasiness in his heart, and traces of fear were growing in his heart. He was afraid of what was going to happen next.
"Why are you unhappy? There are so many delicious foods, but the food you usually eat to help you practice is really, yuck..."
Edward's anomaly was quickly noticed by Waltz, who knew him well, and approached Edward to ask him.
"I... always feel like something bad is going to happen." Edward expressed his thoughts hesitantly, his eyes drifting towards the door of the banquet hall for some reason.
There stood a person he was very familiar with, the guard captain, a trustworthy and strong man responsible for the security of the Grand Duke's Mansion. He had strong investigative capabilities, and no infiltrator or undercover agent could escape his eyes.
"Hey, what's the matter?
I'm worried. The security of the Grand Duke's Palace is no joke. Besides, if anything happens, I'll be there. "Waltz waved his hand casually, signaling Edward not to worry.
"Well..." Edward nodded. The fear in his heart did not weaken due to Waltz's words, but without any basis, Edward still moved his eyes back from the guard captain who had inexplicably attracted his attention. Put it on the desktop.
"You..." Waltz wanted to say something else, but the guest had already arrived, which made him immediately change his sitting posture and expression. He sat upright and stopped turning his head to speak. The same was true for Edward.
The guests were a group of knights. They seemed to be from other noble territories. The leader was a tall long-haired knight. The thick armor covered most of his body, making it difficult to see his face and body. Even in his normal state, it can be seen that he is extremely vigilant and has a strong sense of fighting even if he is wearing armor.
After everyone sat down, Edward's father chatted with the leader of the other party, "Sir Joseph, the lord is in good health recently. Have the barbarians attacked your side?"
"No." Low words came from the mouth of the great knight called Joseph. This voice made Edward tremble suddenly. He felt bad. He was afraid of this guy, but why?
The father didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with Joseph. The two of them were talking to each other. When Joseph picked up the knife and fork, forked a piece of barbecue and put it in his mouth, it marked the beginning of the banquet.
Everyone began to eat the food in front of them. The sound of chewing, the collision of knives and forks, and the occasional conversations and laughter made the atmosphere in the banquet hall very good. The enthusiastic wolfing of Waltz next to him also made Edward gradually let go of a trace of fear in his heart. meaning.
"It's so delicious, so nostalgic...wait why did I use the word nostalgic." As he ate the beautiful things at the table with everyone, Edward thought about it in his mind. He still felt that something was wrong with him today.
"Is this the son of the Grand Duke? He looks really outstanding. He has already started training as a knight." Joseph's words rang out. He looked at the gobbling Waltz and praised him.
"After all, he is the future lion. The son of Archduke Leon has the blood of a lion. Even if he is just a young lion, he has already shown his majesty."
Edward's father did not expose his son's shortcomings in front of the guests as he usually did in front of the Grand Duke of Leon, but praised the waltz seriously.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
"Hahaha, what an interesting boy. He is not the same as Grand Duke Leon, but his future achievements should be comparable. After all, he is the future Grand Duke of the kingdom."
Joseph's laughter rang out in the banquet hall, and his words contained speculation about the future of Waltz.
"That must be the case." Edward's father agreed.
"Then I have to express my gratitude for this..." Joseph spoke with an easy smile, as if he wanted to give some gifts that represented friendship.
However, everything was so sudden, "Ping!" The moment Joseph reached for his cloak, the sharp sword was instantly pulled out, and he slashed at Edward's father without hesitation as his fighting spirit exploded.
"you!"
Edward's father's eyes widened. If it weren't for the reflexes he had honed over the years and the vigilance he always maintained as a soldier, he could have barely blocked the sudden attack with the dagger hidden on the side of his arm. Just now, He had been decapitated.
"..." Without saying anything, Joseph immediately slashed out the second sword. This one-armed knight was the biggest threat present besides the guard captain.
"Peng Pengpeng!" Those "guests" who were eating delicious food just now suddenly took out weapons from nowhere, smashed them on the dining table, and then without hesitation fired at the Grand Duke sitting opposite him. The crowd launched an attack.
The sudden attack was beyond everyone's expectations. Many people in the Grand Duke's Palace did not react. In the next moment, their vital parts were pierced by long swords or crossbow arrows, and their bodies fell slumped.
land.
Edward was in a daze. It all happened too fast. The fear that had just subsided was like the rising tide of the sea, surging forward. Was his bad premonition fulfilled in this way?
But, why, why did the attack suddenly happen.
"Idiot, what are you doing standing still? Get down!"
A strong force came from the body, and the sound of waltz came from his ears. Edward was pushed under the table, and his body suddenly hit the ground. Severe pain was felt, making Edward's mind temporarily clear.
"Quickly, crawl inside. There is a secret door under the table. I don't know what happened, but this is not something we can interfere with!"
Pushing Edward, Waltz crawled somewhere under the banquet table, opened a small mechanism on the ground, and a hole was revealed below. Edward and Waltz jumped in together, and then sealed the board.
In the banquet hall, conflicts were still taking place, and many people in the Grand Duke's Mansion had fallen, including the butler who had served here for many years.
After reacting, everyone in the Grand Duke's Mansion picked up their weapons and confronted the guests who suddenly took offense. The atmosphere between the two sides was extremely solemn.
"What on earth do you want to do..." Edward's father protected the Grand Duchess behind him and faced off against Joseph, who was also a great knight.
"..." There was still no reply. Joseph just held the long sword in his hand and walked around the one-armed Edward's father, looking for an opportunity to take action.
Edward's father squinted his eyes slightly and was wary of Joseph in front of him. His strong fighting power had not disappeared because of his one-armed strength, but only decreased.
But now he will not give Joseph a chance. No matter what the other party wants to do, after the guard captain arrives, the combat power of these intruders is simply not enough.
Edward and Waltz were not caught in the peripheral vision. The two teenagers should have been hiding in the secret compartment. Then, all they had to do was wait for the guard captain to arrive. He had already heard the footsteps.
"We reached an agreement with the barbarians. We captured the Grand Duke for them. They helped us become independent from Arestle and gave us half of the North. Now the Grand Duke you are loyal to may have died in the place where we ambushed Alright."
Joseph, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke, and the information contained in his words was so shocking that Edward's father's heart jumped uncontrollably at this moment.
Seizing the opportunity of Edward's father being distracted, Joseph suddenly thrust out the sword in his hand, pointing only at the vital part of his chest.
However, "Ding!", the long sword was firmly stopped by Edward's father with one sword. No emotion could distract him in the battle.
Cold eyes were fixed on Joseph. What he knew, Edward's father would personally dig out after he and the guard captain captured Joseph. Now was not the time to worry about his old friend and boss!
"Pfft!" The sound of the long sword piercing the flesh, "squeaking" the blade turned, twisting the internal organs to pieces, the emotion in the cold eyes turned into disbelief, Edward's father turned his head and looked at the guard captain.
The guard captain, who lowered his head slightly, stabbed the long sword in his hand into Edward's father's body from behind, turning the blade slightly to maximize the damage. This trustworthy knight was betrayed.
"You..." Blood foam spurted out from his mouth, and Edward's father seemed unable to believe this scene.
"Sorry...uh!" Just as the guard captain's low words came out, a sharp sword light that made people close their eyes suddenly slashed across his neck.
He immediately covered his throat with his hands, but blood spurted out uncontrollably, and life quickly disappeared from the body of the great knight.
It seemed that the throat had only been slit, but in fact it had been completely broken along with the internal spine. The headless body slowly fell down, revealing the body of Edward's father, who was also lifeless with eyes wide open.
Inner Submersion·Hymn to Death, the closer to death, the more powerful you become. This is why Edward's father was able to survive after losing an arm.
At the last moment before his death, his inner potential allowed him to break through the legend, and with his last strength, he killed the man who had not yet died.
The betrayer who has had time to enjoy the benefits of betrayal.
After looking at the dead Edward's father and the captain of the guard indifferently, Joseph relied on the strength of the Grand Knight to massacre everyone present. The Grand Duchess and other servants were all stained with blood in the banquet hall.
"Where is the Grand Duke's son?" Joseph asked the other knights after killing Waltz without finding him.
"Sir, there should be something like a hidden compartment. I didn't see them going out just now. They must still be in here. Just break open the surrounding area and take a look."
"Do it!"
"Bang, bang, bang, bang!" Violent sounds of hitting the ground kept coming from outside, and things kept breaking and scattering. It was the knights smashing open the surrounding walls and furniture, looking for Waltz's possible hiding place.
"Damn it, you're right. How did you know this would happen? I'm sorry, I didn't believe you!" Waltz and Edward, who was holding his head at a loss, leaned together and said in horror.
"I don't know, I don't know, I don't know..." Edward just held his head and kept mumbling, not knowing what to do at all.
Fear filled Edward's heart at this moment. His father was dead. He knew that since the search for them had been launched outside, it meant that his father had died in the battle. Such a powerful father...
They were going to die too. There was no way they could survive such a search and this simple secret compartment. Boundless fear blocked Edward's mind. He couldn't think about anything at all. He could only hold his head and tremble continuously.
The sound was getting closer and closer. The intruders who searched the surrounding area did not find Waltz and placed their target on the ground under the banquet table again.
"Boom!" The ground shook and heavy objects hit the ground. They were demolishing the ground. The vibrations from the wall they were leaning against made Edward's closed eyes overflow with tears. It was over, they were all going to die, and they were surrounded by boundless fear. he.
"Damn it, it's all my fault for not believing you. Their target is me. As long as I go out, they won't care about you." Suddenly, two hands grabbed Edward's shoulders, and Waltz's words were hidden in the grid. sounded.
Edward opened his eyes in a daze. He couldn't see Waltz's face clearly in the darkness, but the meaning of his words was obvious enough.
He was also afraid, and Waltz's hands holding Edward were shaking. He was also afraid, but there was nothing he could do. He did not hold his head like Edward, fearing the coming of death.
"But…"
"Nothing but, I am a noble and you are my subordinate, so I have the responsibility to protect you. Do you understand? Stay still. Do you hear me? I don't want to die in vain. Damn it, why am I still shaking? As a The future Grand Duke may not have a future now, but how can he be afraid!"
Waltz interrupted Edward's words viciously. Edward heard a crisp "pop" sound, and Waltz slapped himself, forcibly stopping the trembling of his arms and words.
"Okay... I'm going out, you hide, do you hear me!" Waltz's last words sounded, and then he opened the secret compartment without hesitation, climbed out, and then closed the secret compartment door.
"You hateful intruders! I...poof!" Waltz's roar reached Edward's ears. The next moment, the sword blade penetrated his flesh and his body fell to the ground.
"No...no...no..." Shaking his head in disbelief, Edward could not accept that his best friend died for him.
"What the fuck? How could this happen? Why can't I move? It shouldn't be like this."
Edward's heart was full of fear, fear of losing his best friend, fear of being alone in the future, fear of being discovered and killed again later.
On the morning of the next day, with his body covered in scars and his eyes losing the lion-like vigor, with only exhaustion and anger remaining, the Grand Duke of Leon would come to this banquet hall filled with the corpses of his relatives and friends, and open this In the dark grid, he saw Edward holding his head and still drowning in fear, and pulled him up.
"You will be my son from now on. You will inherit everything from me. You will be the new Grand Duke. Don't let me down, son."
No! It shouldn't be like this! If he was given another chance and he could do nothing like a coward, he would never be able to forgive himself.
And I was definitely ridiculed by a guy who I don’t know who he is, but he should be called Ciel, and his personality has many similarities with Waltz.
"I'm going out too!" A firm hand grasped the shoulder of Waltz, who was about to open the dark grid.
"You can't do anything, it doesn't make sense to go out!" Walz tried to open Edward's hand, but couldn't do it, Edward's strength didn't know how big exaggeration was.
"In any case, I am more willing to be a roar and fighting, instead of crying, and crying." Edward's words were extremely firm.
"Well, with my style, very handsome, but sorry."
Walz stunned, showing a gratifying smile, and said, he suddenly hit his head into Edward's head, Edward's back leaning against the wall, this impact was enough to faint him.
"Pop." However, this impact was stopped by Edward's unknown prophet.
"This time, don't think ..." Shen Ning said, Edward didn't give Wallz a chance to react, pushed away the dark door, and climbed out.
Everything outside was unexpected. It was a broken world. There was no blood dyeing banquet hall. There was only a chaotic place that had to kill him and Waltz.
"This ..." Edward, who was stunned, suddenly found that his height was a bit wrong. When did he be so tall?
The memory affected by the power of the god of fear re -returned, which reminded him of everything.
Turning his head, he saw Walz climbed out of the dark grid.
"Well, it's so tall, no legends? You can be shameless." Walz looked at Edward a lot taller than the teenager with a smile.
"Sorry, it's just a formal knight." Some embarrassedly scratched his head, and Edward replied.
"Well, the difference is a bit worse, but at least you are still alive. This is good. I have any goodbye I want to say once?"
Waltz poured his lips and said.
"I met a guy, similar to you, just as unruly, what do you think?" I remembered the unjust guy in my mind, and Edward asked Walz.
"Very good, will I mind finding a friend? How is it possible? In the future, the Grand Duke of the Lion Heart King, can't there be two powerful men, no, good brothers? Don't let her hang up like me this time It is, although I hit you faint, don't always think that you are a ghost, do you understand, you have this qualification, you match! "
"Thank you, then, goodbye!" Edward looked at Waltz, which was much shorter than him, and stretched out his palm.
"Goodbye!" With a gratifying smile, Walz held his palm with this growing friend.
Double palms are in contact, and the memory of the entire power of fear of the god of fear collapses completely.
"Wake up?" Wang Yu's voice, at this moment he had run away with Edward.
"Well, I remembered. I didn't do anything because of fear at that time. I just didn't escape that hammer." Edward said, jumping down from Wang Yu's back.
"Uh, in short, you just wake up. You should work, the royal family, the blade of the night, we, we will not do anything, the king city is finished."
Wang Yu didn't know what Edward had experienced, but it was good to see that he put down a lot of things.
But next, there is still a big. Trouble is waiting for them. The giant shadow of the god of fear on the sky is expanding, and the "kingdom of God" of the God of fear is constantly extending.
