"Sleep, sleep..."
The ancient ballads echoed in the square, echoing continuously like the songs of the banshee sirens, slowly drifting into Valentine's ears, soft, enchanting, but unstoppable.
The surrounding temperature began to drop, and the sins burning on the building began to flicker. It seemed that the low temperature affected their release. They flickered, making Valentine's eyes hurt. The rancid torches in the square have been covered with a layer of white frost, like bones that have been tied up. Thanks to the condensed water vapor, the stench that permeated the open space disappeared as if it had been frozen, replaced by an irresistible chill.
"Hedgehog dolls and bears..."
At the other end of the square, in front of the building, a white sculpture stood there, slowly raising his hands, with a pious expression as if he was making a pilgrimage. The cold singing voice came from her mouth and condensed into pieces of suspended black ice crystals in the air. They slowly fell to the ground and slowly spread outward like a Zerg carpet, swallowing everything in its path. obstacles.
Blood-red ribbons walked on the ice, fluttering in the wind. Although the sky was covered with dark clouds, as if darkness had fallen, Valentine could still see the dazzling light reflected from the ribbon.
In just two sentences, severe winter came to this ruins again. The monsters on the snowy field bared their fangs and surrounded their prey.
"Sinking into the silent black...I, the tattered doll and doll..."
White mist as thick as milk was exhaled from Valentine's nose, and a large amount of cold air entered Valentine's still warm body, making his dizzy nerves tighten again. The composite sword Willow Leaf in Valentine's hand is no longer in the heat, and the flame robe on his body has evaporated into a white mist and disappeared into the air.
A violent explosion sounded in his ears, and the air waves caused by it blew Valentine's white robe and pink bangs. This allowed him to finally maintain his nervous state, and all the senses in his body were functioning again. . He raised his eyelids, took the doctor's extended hand, stood up from the ground, and looked forward.
The flames of sin have been extinguished, but what remains is misery beyond recognition. Dark clouds were covering the sky, and the distance between the sky and the ground seemed to be shortened, making people feel an endless sense of oppression. Black ice has covered half of the square, and the temperature of the ruins is still dropping. Shuangye stands in the center of the square facing off against Shuangxing. The white ice blade next to her floats in mid-air and trembles violently, as if it will burst in the next second. . Meteorite stood beside the doctor, holding a heavy crossbow and aiming at the Integrated Movement soldiers who were trying to get close to Frost Leaf. There were explosions one after another, and the expression on her face became more and more impatient. Amiya's face turned black, as cold as the ice summoned by the frost star. The sharp edge behind her was extremely dark at the moment, as if it had been splashed with a thick layer of ink, and countless thin black threads spread out, slowing down the spread of black ice again.
Winter is coming to the world once again.
————————————————
At the moment when Valentine turned into a meteor and rushed towards Mephisto, everyone in the square noticed this dazzling flame. The Integration Movement soldiers screamed and rushed towards the flames, trying to intercept the irritable rabbit before he hurt their commander. They were not worried about the madman Mephistopheles, but they were worried about their own lives.
No one wants to become an unconscious corpse covered in Originium crystals. That would be even more uncomfortable than death. But before these soldiers took the first step to block, Valentine had already rushed in front of Mephistopheles.
The blade surface of the composite knife willow leaf has been burned red by the flames, as hot and dazzling as the sun. Valentine's eyes were also full of red, but they only contained bottomless hatred and anger. A long line of fire was drawn out from behind him, sharp enough to cut through the air and enough to cut through Mephisto's body.
However, when Valentin rushed to Mephistopheles like a demon with gritted teeth and eyes wide open, what responded to him was a shallow smile on the white demon's face.
puff.
Valentine directly penetrated "Mephisto"'s body, and the red blade seemed to be cutting on cotton without any attack feedback. His whole body fell heavily to the ground, creating a big crater and raising a cloud of dust. The hard landing did not cause any damage to Valentine's body. The only thing that surprised him was the sudden disappearance of Mephistopheles.
Valentin raised the knife in his hand and walked out of the dust. He stared in the direction where Mephistopheles was standing just now, but he only saw a few feathers floating slowly in the air and dots of crystal white dust, like The starry sky was as beautiful as the starry sky, which made him feel an ominous premonition.
"What a surprise, Rhode Island."
Mephisto's voice sounded from one end of the square. Without thinking much, Valentin once again gathered the Originium skills in his body and rushed towards the direction of the sound while holding the compound sword Willow Leaf. The moment he turned around, his eyes had caught Mephisto's specific position, and his whole body once again turned into a fireball and rushed towards the evil bastard.
He didn't know how Mephistopheles discovered him, or when this guy set up a phantom, but Valentine knew very well that if he didn't deal with this guy as soon as possible, things would become more and more troublesome. . He wanted to see the duel between Amiya and Frost Star, but before that battle, if there was a chance to kill Mephisto, he was not willing to give up.
As for whether this is a new phantom, Valentine had already determined the result when he just sprinted. When he turned around and met Mephistopheles' eyes, Valentin could clearly feel a trace of astonishment in the other person's eyes, as if he had discovered some secret.
Because of this, Valentine can be sure that this guy is the real person, and the sooner he dies, the better.
At the same time, the Rhode Island group who had just confronted Mephistopheles also took action. Meteor set up her heavy crossbow and fired Originium explosives on both sides of Valentine's charge route, blocking the path of the Integration Movement soldiers who wanted to block Bolide's advance. Shuangye waved the huge ax in her hand, and cold air shot out one after another and hit the soldiers who tried to stop her. She ran towards the dazzling flame in the distance, automatically bringing herself into the position of finishing the last blow. Location. A sharp diamond shape appeared behind Amiya, and countless black threads stretched out from behind her, helping Shuangye block the soldiers behind her who were coming like a tide.
It had only been a few seconds since Valentine appeared in this square, but the Rhode Island operators had already reached a rare tacit understanding with him, and they didn't even exchange a word.
Veterans are always the quickest to analyze the battlefield situation. They don't even need to think, they can coordinate by relying only on their body memory, automatically bring themselves into the most suitable position, and strictly carry out the tasks in their position.
"Amiya! Do you know that Carters man?"
Dr. Noah hid behind the bunker, covered his hood with his hands and shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice still had that neutral tone. The entire square was filled with explosions, screams, and angry curses. He shouted several times before Amiya noticed him as a fishy commander, and the emoticon on his mask turned into ┌(.Д.)┐.
"She...she shouldn't be an operator from Rhode Island. I don't have any impression in my memory!"
Amiya reached out and wrapped a black silk thread around a charging soldier and threw him aside. She turned her head and shouted at the doctor who was shivering behind the bunker.
"Not an operator from Rhode Island?"
Dr. Noah touched his chin, picked up a stone and threw it into the face of an integrated sports crossbowman who was sneaking over to steal his ass. He carefully turned around and raised his head to focus on the pink mass in the distance.
The Katsian seemed to have been attacked by something and stopped not far in front of Mephistopheles, and the light on her body dissipated, which allowed Dr. Noah to clearly see her back.
Tsk.
Dr. Noah smacked his lips.
These legs, this waist, this outfit, this hair...
Just looking at her back, she is definitely a beauty.
The doctor did not change his gaze. He stared at the back of Yae Sakura Zhenen Xinghun, bent down, picked up another stone and threw it back, just hitting the head of the integrated sports crossbowman who had no intention of giving up and wanted to get closer. But this time she fainted and it looked like she wouldn't wake up in a few hours.
She is more mature than Amiya. Although she looks very fiery, since she is dressed in pink, she should be a very gentle person in daily life, right? It feels much better than violence.
Dr. Noah: Յ(¯﹃¯Յ)
As a guy who has been fishing in Qicheng until now, what Noah is best at is maintaining a normal heart anytime and anywhere. He's not good at fighting. If you take command, there are no changes on the battlefield and there's no need for him, so there's nothing else to do except to have fun.
Being able to kill an enemy with a random throw of a rock is Noah's passive, which also allows him to remain minimally safe on dangerous battlefields. It's a pity that this passive seems to be only triggered when he is unintentional. If he deliberately wants to hit the enemy...
The last time he almost hit a Guards Bureau officer on the head in the Longmen slums, he even got a glare from Chen.
Pleasure.
"Hey, wait."
After thinking hard about how to pull Yae Sakura in... Noah from Rhode Island suddenly noticed something. The surrounding temperature... seemed to be dropping.
"Is it getting colder?"
He brought up the temperature interface through commands, and the declining number on the screen just proved that his own senses were not wrong.
Dr. Noah: ⊙▽⊙
"Amiya! Meteor! Get Shuangye back quickly! And that Carters man! The Integrated Movement is here to support!"
Noah stood up and shouted at the two people in the distance, startling Jessica beside him.
"Noting it now? It's too late."
Looking at the guy in black waving his arms vigorously in the distance, Mephisto showed a contemptuous smile and took a step back. At the same time, a glowing red blade slashed through the air, but missed his neck, missing by only a few centimeters.
"Do you feel like your movements are slowing down?"
Glancing at the sword that almost killed him, Mephisto gave a teasing smile to Valentine, who was on fire in front of him. The temperature of the air began to drop, and the pool of blood on the ground slowly froze. The two men were surrounded by corpses of Integration Movement soldiers, but Valentine did not harm Mephistopheles.
He knew that Mephisto's Origin Stone skills were related to the soul, but he really didn't expect that this guy could control his men so easily, even if he asked them to block the sword without any resistance. When Valentine rushed over, Mephistopheles tried to soul-attack him, but failed. Valentine's soul at this moment was as hot as his attack, making him unable to get close. Mephistopheles was also shocked.
Unfortunately, Valentine's attack was blocked by another person's Origin Stone skill, and even his attack speed slowed down a lot.
Of course he knew whose credit it was.
"Frost Star..."
Valentine gritted his teeth and said the name.
Originally, Valentine didn't have much dislike for Frost Star. But at this moment when he was about to kill his enemy in anger, Frost Star suddenly used the Origin Stone technique to delay him, so Valentine would naturally feel unhappy.
Before they became "friends", they were enemies first, and their only purpose was to kill each other.
"Yes, that's her."
Mephistopheles nodded and took a few steps back, distancing himself from Valentine. He cleared his throat, raised his hands from a high place, and loudly announced to the entire square like a variety show host:
"Next, please warmly welcome the real protagonist of our stage - the nightmare of the northwest tundra, the princess of the snow monsters - frost - star - little sister!"
He shook his arm violently, and his twisted smile made Valentine feel sick.
"She will freeze your flesh and blood, bit by bit, into pieces~"
Mephistopheles bent down and looked at Frostleaf and Valentine not far in front of him. He grinned and raised his right hand. He put his index finger and thumb together and twisted them, as if something had really been crushed into powder by him. Same.
"Heh, you should put on makeup and go to Gotham, then the Joker won't have anything to do with you."
Valentine gently waved the knife in his hand to evaporate the remaining heat. Since the two flashes just failed, there is no need for him to continue to maintain the eight-level fire wall state.
Because of his anger, the load on his body from those two flashes just now was even greater than when he was experimenting in Longmen. If he continued, the Source Stone crystal would probably come out. If he hadn't been slowed down by Frost Star's Origin Stone skill during his second charge, he would have been absolutely confident in turning Mephisto into a pickled braised vegetable.
"Mephisto."
That familiar figure appeared in Valentine's field of vision, with her unique cold voice.
"What's the matter? Miss Froststar?"
Mephistopheles tilted his head and opened his eyes as if he was listening.
It seemed that he was in a good mood at this time.
"I should first leave you, a murderer who is worse than a beast, in the snowfield to die."
Frost Star's voice was like cold needles piercing everyone's bones. Valentine could clearly feel the drastic changes in the surrounding temperature, which reminded him of the winter he had passed in Ursus.
"Oh, it's so scary, so scary~ But Rhode Island is over there."
Mephistopheles rolled his eyes, shrugging off Froststar's threat.
"There is also this pink rabbit. Although I don't know what relationship she has with the little rabbit yesterday, I think she is already on the side of our enemies. Miss Froststar, you won't be lenient, right? ?”
Froststar didn't answer him, but glanced at Valentine. Valentin caught her gaze and glared back pretending to be "I don't want to mess with you".
"In that case, goodbye Miss Frost Star, I look forward to your good news."
Mephistopheles waved to Frost Star and looked in the direction of Valentine.
"But before that, I have a gift for this Miss Rabbit who suddenly broke in."
Valentine's nerves suddenly tightened, and his hand holding the knife tightened a little.
"You are very similar to an enemy I once met. He was very annoying, and so were you. In order to deal with that bastard, I specially prepared a big gift for him. Unfortunately, that guy was hiding in the dragon gate like a coward and did not dare to come out."
"Since I met you first, you should accept this gift for him."
As soon as he finished speaking, the ears on top of Valentine's head suddenly stood up, and he bent slightly and held the knife in a defensive posture. But Mephistopheles ignored the overreacting rabbit and turned around and left the square after saying harsh words.
That's it?
Although Valentine was a little surprised, he still did not relax his vigilance. He stared at Frost Star, who was slowly walking towards him, and observed the surroundings with his peripheral vision, feeling highly nervous. Just as he was thinking about how Mephistopheles would mess with him, Valentine's eyes suddenly went dark.
A mental bomb detonated in his mind.
Countless whispers poured into Valentine's brain like a tide, then receded quickly, and the cycle continued. He felt that his body was light and airy, as if he had turned into a feather, floating in the air without any effort, just like the fallen leaves of autumn drawing leisurely arcs in the air. Finally, Valentine landed, his knife fell beside him, and he lay on the ground, his consciousness gradually blurring.
Before the black completely covered his vision, the only thing Valentine thought about was...
That bastard is a fucking warlock who uses Soul Level Source Stone skills!
And there is absolutely no way to prevent it!
