Eluma lost all vital signs, and both Zhou Li and Futaba could clearly feel the soul slowly dissipating from the body. Soon, Eluma's soul will be completely separated from her body, and will eventually return to the Sea of Death and die completely.
No reboot.
Zhou Li felt that his breathing and brain were all frozen at this moment. Every cell in his body was frantically warning him that everything had not restarted and nothing had happened. Time showed no signs of going backwards, Futaba was still standing by his side.
The Moon Dancer's ferocious face is full of mocking, sarcastic smiles. It splits its mouthparts full of sharp thorns, and its weird laughter is as harsh as metal friction. It raised its sharp legs, and under the sharp spikes was Eluma's lifeless body.
"Hold him!"
Without any hesitation or panic anymore, Futaba clenched his right hand heavily, and the heavy hammer condensed by black mist burst out from the void, directly knocking Moon Dancer to the side. Looking at Moon Dancer standing up with a roar, Shuangye gritted his teeth and shouted to Zhou Li on the side: "Buy me some time!"
"you!"
Zhou Li seemed to understand what Futaba was going to do. He quickly reacted after a brief shock. Silver light suddenly appeared in his hand, and a sapphire staff inlaid with mithril and brilliant gold appeared in his hand. There was no need to chant or simulate runes. In the blink of an eye, the staff in Zhou Li's hand was suddenly covered with a gorgeous ice-blue halo. Along with the surge of magic energy, the icy elements like a cold wave suddenly condensed into countless ice spikes and slapped on Moon Dancer's upper body like a wave.
"Roar!!!"
Unacceptable roars filled the entire castle. Moon Dancer's body was not strong, and the ice spikes penetrated easily. However, to Moon Dancer, this brilliant level of magic has no meaning other than irritating it. Its muscles trembled slightly, and those ice spikes instantly melted into dark red blood flowing on the ground, corroding everything around it.
For Moon Dancer, taking damage is his best means of attack.
Cannot attack.
Because the Demon King's momentum was once frustrated, Zhou Li's fighting consciousness in this life was not as strong as in previous lives, but he was still keenly aware of Moon Dancer's inherent weirdness and damage. Once a Moondancer is harmed, the irresistible corrosive blood corrodes everything around her. If this continues, it is very likely that this castle will be completely corroded by blood.
In an instant, Zhou Li changed his mind. He immediately cleared the original spells from his staff. Facing the Moon Dancer who was beginning to accumulate strength and prepare to pounce on him, Zhou Li sank his waist and punched the staff with all his strength. On the ground, all the magic energy in his body was instantly focused on his hands.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The heartbeat that roared like a god pounded heavily throughout the castle, and the sound waves filled every gap. Zhou Li gritted his teeth, his muscles all over his body trembling uncontrollably, but his hands still did not leave the staff in front of him. The Moon Dancer, who was originally preparing to kill the overestimated person, suddenly became anxious when she heard the hammering sound like a heartbeat. She raised her head and kept patrolling, as if she was looking for something.
[Crown of Holy Tree·Bidding Life]
As the messenger of the God of Death, Moon Dancer can be said to be strangely powerful. He cannot use magic, nor can he use supreme authority, because his body is the embodiment of the law. In fact, according to the naming standards of the law, Moon Dancer is not his destiny.
Reincarnation.
Reincarnation is the true name of Moon Dancer.
The damage caused to him will wax and wane in the cycle of reincarnation, and eventually he becomes Moon Dancer's weapon. Its mouthparts and sharp sickle legs will banish the life of another person into reincarnation as long as it touches it.
Zhou Li didn't know this, because Eluma never investigated the gods in any life. After all, in previous lives, the gods had always been Zhou Li and Eluma's best allies. Whether it was the twelve gods' cards that were like artifacts, or the twelve moments of full help, Zhou Li and Eluma subconsciously thought that the gods were on their side.
But this time it's different.
The messenger of the God of Death attacked the brave man and killed the messenger.
In the past three years, Zhou Li and Eluma found a total of four divine cards. They are the [Holy Tree Crown] of the Goddess of Life, the [Shattered Lava Rock] of the God of Chaos, the [Scale] of the God of Justice, and the [Silver Chrome Blessing] of the God of Commerce. After noticing the death aura on the opponent, Zhou Li directly activated the sacred tree crown of the Goddess of Life. Obviously, this had a considerable effect on the death shadow, which was opposite to life.
But, it's just an effect.
Zhou Li's level at this time is about between brilliant and demigod. Even if the card Holy Tree Crown can release absolutely pure life energy, Zhou Li's magic energy reserve cannot support him to keep using this card. .
With his eyes fixed on the Moon Dancer who was covering his head in pain, Zhou Li's whole body was shaking like an electric shock. The shortage of magic energy had begun to spread to his brain, creating an indescribable sour feeling. Filled in his body.
Can't stop...
He could see that Futaba on the side had already picked up Eluma and moved him aside, as if he was arranging something. He knew that he had to buy time for Eluma and Futaba, otherwise, everything would end.
There will be no reboot, no next life.
Zhou Li felt as if his soul began to flow, and the greedy holy tree crown seemed to have extended its tentacles into his nerves. But he still didn't let go of his hands. Even though everything happened suddenly and he had no preparation, Zhou Li had been prepared to die a long time ago.
Not far from Zhou Li, Eluma's body was already lying flat on the stone slab. Futaba, whose body was wrapped in black mist, was holding Eluma's hands tightly, eyes closed, her beautiful face as silent as water.
reincarnation···
Futaba already understood what happened to Eluma. At that moment of contact, Moon Dancer cut off all the reincarnation and cause and effect of Eluma. In other words, Eluma lost contact with the world. Although Futaba can touch Eluma at this time, as far as this world is concerned, Eluma no longer exists.
What to do, what to do.
At this time, although Futaba kept reminding himself that this was just a false timeline, everything was fake, and he could open the next timeline again after his death. But when Eluma truly lost her life in front of her, her originally warm hands became extremely cold, and Futaba, who had always been calm, lost most of her sanity at this time.
Save her, must save her.
At this time, there was only one thought left in Futaba's mind. Even though she knew that it was all false and that the restart would begin as long as she died, she didn't know why, but Futaba only left one option for herself.
She must be saved! ! !
Gritting his teeth, Futaba took out the dagger from his waist. She stared at the sleeping girl in front of her, and a thick black mist gradually appeared in her golden eyes. She raised the dagger and swiped her wrist. Without any hesitation, Futaba put her wrist on Eluma's mouth. side.
The blood carrying the black mist slowly flowed into Eluma's body along her pale lips, and the girl who had started to lose her soul gradually calmed down. Seeing that the soul in Eluma's body began to calm down as if her lips were stained red with blood, Futaba knew that she had made the right bet.
The authority of the Black Emperor is contained in life. Therefore, the Black Emperor never fades or dissipates.
At this time, what flowed out of Futaba's wrist was not her blood, but her life source.
What she wants to do is to give the Black Emperor's crown to the dead Eluma.
A crazy, audacious plan.
At the same time, it is also fatal.
Pain, cutting pain.
At this time, Zhou Li was on the verge of collapse. His body began to exude a disgusting aura of death, and old lines began to appear on his originally handsome face. He knew that after absorbing the magic energy, the Holy Tree Crown would then absorb his own life source. However, if he breaks the crown of the sacred tree, then the Moon Dancer will be freed and everything will end.
Can't...can't stop...
Zhou Li smiled bitterly. He could no longer tell whether the water stains on his face were sweat or tears. His brain could no longer think anymore, and the tearing pain had occupied his nerves.
Hold on a little longer.
He told himself, or rather, his instinct feebly told himself, just hold on a little longer. Zhou Li couldn't see hope, nor could he see what Shuangye was doing. His eyes were already occupied by blood-red, and the blood-red vision made him feel unprecedented fear and determination. He fears death, but is determined to embark on the path of death.
Buzz~~
A faint buzzing sound sounded. No one cares.
Feeling the loss of life in her body, Futaba slowly closed her eyes and began to wait for her own death. She knew that what she was doing now might be in vain. After her death, everything would restart. Eluma would return to the moment when she first met Zhou Li, and she would return to that ordinary mountain. The life I am passing now and the pain I feel will be meaningless, because everything here is false.
Seeing the fair skin begin to spread black lines, the corners of the pale Futaba's mouth twitched slightly, and a beautiful smile appeared on the face of this girl who didn't like to smile.
False...it doesn't matter.
never mind.
Looking at the struggling Yue Dancer in front of him, Zhou Li gave a bitter and desperate smile. He knew that he couldn't hold on anymore, and his depleted body told him that he had no more life left to overdraw.
it's all over.
At this moment, Zhou Li remembered the first time Eluma met him when he was chosen by the gods on earth a few years ago. At that time, Eluma's smile was strange, with a hint of suspicion in her eyes. But when he and Eluma were on their way to Tariq, Eluma suddenly woke up. After a brief silence and confusion, she quickly hugged herself, and her tears wet Zhou Li's clothes.
At that time, Zhou Li understood that Eluma might be a reborn person.
Thanks a lot.
Zhou Li sighed softly in his heart. He knew that for Eluma, rebirth might not be a happy thing. She has experienced pain, suffering, separation and sadness for four lifetimes, but only she owns those memories.
Next time, let me do it.
The consciousness fell into the deep sea of death. When the barrier of life dissipated, Zhou Li's life also dissipated with it.
Futaba heard the sound of the card breaking, and her whole body trembled for a moment. She knew that the shattering of the card represented Zhou Li's death. To her, Zhou Li is equally important as Eluma. She raised her head and looked at Zhou Li's fallen figure, with only deep despair and anger in her eyes, as well as extreme self-blame.
Wrong, all wrong.
Because of his appearance in this life, Zhou Li did not participate in those battles, and his power was not comparable to that in his previous life. I subconsciously ignored this point, I actually ignored this point! He had drained all his magic energy a few minutes ago, and it was Zhou Li's life that supported everything.
"Roar!!!!"
The moment she got rid of the crown of the holy tree, Moon Dancer's strange and huge body suddenly erupted, and a giant thorn stained by death and the netherworld stabbed the two leaves in front of her. At this time, the powerless Futaba could no longer make any movements and could only watch the giant thorn that shredded reincarnation stabbing into his chest.
呲
The sound of flesh and blood being penetrated sounded, and Futaba widened his eyes, looking in disbelief at the girl in front of him who had his entire body penetrated.
"big boss"
Lifting her head, her young cheeks were stained with blood, and rubble was inlaid on her slightly brown skin. Carrie forced a smile but did not say the next words.
She died, died in the brokenness of reincarnation.
Her legs, which were smashed by boulders and bloody as if they were dragged, proved that this girl had been working hard to find her Lord Demon King since the initial mutation. The moment she saw the Demon King being targeted by a sharp thorn, she seemed to have forgotten the horrific wound on her body. She threw herself in front of Futaba with all her strength and blocked the giant thorn with her body.
There were no last words or intermittent last words. After happily calling out these four words, Lord Demon King, all of Carrie's life was torn apart by reincarnation.
Zhou Li lost his life, Carrie was penetrated, and Eluma died in her arms.
When the last drop of Futaba's blood flowed into Eluma's body, she did not die. After gently putting Eluma aside, Futaba slowly stood up. Her pale skin and weak movements looked like her final death struggle.
"Hoo..."
Facing the girl who was as powerful as a crossbow, for some reason, the originally unscrupulous Moon Dancer began to stay where it was. It stared at the girl in front of it warily, roaring, as if...
Fear.
The originally holy and elegant golden eyes lost their original color. Futaba slowly closed her eyes, and an indescribable aura began to linger around her.
Not evil, not holy. At this time, Futaba was like a Chaos Monarch lurking in the darkness. Her originally warm orange hair was shrouded in a twisted halo. Moon Dancer looked at the strangely changed girl in front of her in disbelief. , fear, occupied its pupils.
The long silver-white hair poured behind the girl like moonlight. When she opened her eyes, those red eyes like the blood moon were filled with pure violence and oppression, as if all the evil and chaos in the world were condensed in these scarlet eyes. Same.
The devil, standing proudly.
