Unspeakable pain.
His body felt as heavy as lead, and even raising his arms became a luxury. The feeling of chaos occupied the entire brain, and thinking at this time seemed extremely difficult.
Is this...where?
There was a dull pain in his heart, as if a piece of flesh and blood had been ripped out. The cold touch under his body brought his consciousness back a little. Zhou Liqiang supported his almost broken body, slowly moved his left hand, and rubbed it on the gravel-covered ground.
The sharp gravel cut into his flesh and blood, but this level of pain was nothing to Zhou Li. After all, he could clearly feel the disorder in his internal organs. There is a high probability that there are no complete organs in his body.
still have a chance···
The mind that was tortured repeatedly by pain and chaos still had the last obsession. A few minutes seemed as long as a whole year in Zhou Li's dark vision. Finally, when he was about to run out of strength, his fingers touched a touch of warm coldness.
Holy tree crown.
Zhou Li sensed the power belonging to the goddess of life, and began to mobilize the last trace of magic energy in his body, slowly connecting to the holy tree crown around his waist. A moment later, under a burst of clarity, Zhou Li finally opened his eyes.
Broken walls and ruins.
There was no sunlight or sky, just dark caves and broken buildings. Under the treatment of the Holy Tree Crown, the body that was on the verge of collapse began to slowly heal. Zhou Li endured the pain, moved his body forcefully, and leaned against the rocks beside him, breathing heavily.
His throat felt like it had been sliced by countless blades. Zhou Li wanted to cough, but couldn't make any sound. But fortunately, the Holy Tree Crown has been activated. At least for now, it seems that he will not die.
In the end what happened.
Zhou Li only felt that his memory was in chaos. He could not remember why he appeared in this strange underground cave, nor did he know where the ruins where he was were. The brief thought made Zhou Li's already heavy brain feel a little stinging. He shook his head hard and began to look around him.
etc!
When Zhou Li glanced at the familiar figure beside him, a feeling of suffocation suddenly grabbed his throat. Without any hesitation, Zhou Li directly grasped the Holy Tree Crown with his bloody hands, and used all his strength to throw the thin card onto Eluma's body.
"cure···"
The burning pain of acupuncture was accompanied by an almost tearing sound. The veins in Zhou Li's neck popped out, his face was ferocious, and he roared in a low voice with all his strength: "Save...her..."
The moment the green holy tree crown fell on Eluma, a warm and life-filled power suddenly bloomed from the card. However, just when Zhou Li breathed a sigh of relief, the light of power that represented life stayed in front of Eluma and suddenly dissipated.
Zhou Li was stunned, and then became confused and puzzled. He didn't understand why the crown of the sacred tree, which had been providing life healing to him and Eluma, suddenly stopped. He looked at the crown of the holy tree in disbelief. It was clear that it was not damaged in any way and that the energy in its body was extremely full, but it did not move at all. It just stared at Eluma's body in front of it.
Could it be...
For some reason, Zhou Li suddenly felt a strong sense of fear, and an unacceptable possibility emerged in his mind.
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
Zhou Li resisted the desire to shout. He thought calmly that if Eluma died, everything would restart, so he couldn't give up hope yet. Holding on, Zhou Li slowly moved his body in the direction of Eluma. Even though the exposed skin was bloody and bloody, he did not pause at all.
When Zhou Li spent most of his energy to reach Eluma, he stretched out his hand, paused, and then gently placed it on Eluma's cold wrist. After a moment, Zhou Li breathed a sigh of relief. He sensed the existence of life energy and Eluma's soul, which meant that everything could still be saved.
Holding the Holy Tree Crown on the side, Zhou Li chose to directly activate this blessing from the Goddess of Life since the Holy Tree Crown was unwilling to heal Eluma. He firmly grasped the Holy Tree Crown, and with a little bit of skill, the not-so-sharp edge of the card cut a gash in Zhou Li's palm. Soon, scarlet blood covered the entire card, making the original The vibrant tree lines look particularly ferocious.
Closing his eyes, Zhou Li activated the gradually recovering magic energy in his body, directly covering the card with blood. When everything accumulated to a sufficient point, the blood immediately solidified, and the ferocious crown of the holy tree began to release its life force outwards crazily, without purpose, and indiscriminately.
After doing all this, Zhou Li collapsed weakly on the ground. He quietly looked at Eluma's sleeping face beside him, without saying a word, with a calm expression, but there was an almost stagnant fear in his eyes.
call.
Suddenly, Zhou Li felt as if he heard something, like a ball of cotton wool fluttering gently. Just when he was about to look towards the source of the sound, a flash of black appeared in front of his eyes.
Is this fog?
Zhou Li was stunned. What appeared in front of him was an indescribable black mist. The reason why it is said to be indescribable is that there is no terrifying or ferocious atmosphere in these black mist, only the warmth that makes Zhou Li feel at ease. At the beginning, there was very little black mist, only the size of a stone. But just a few seconds later, the black mist expanded rapidly and swallowed up all the life energy. Before Zhou Li could react, the black mist directly enveloped Eluma's figure.
Phew~
Zhou Li heard the voice again, and he turned his head. Suddenly, the nerves and cells in every part of his body began to alarm frantically.
Moon Dancer···
Zhou Li looked at the mutilated body in disbelief. He recognized that this monster with strange mouthparts and ferocious face was the messenger from the God of Death - Moon Dancer. But it was very difficult for him to understand why the Moon Dancer in front of him was so dilapidated, with only half of its body left. The monster roared, and the sound of catkins rubbing came from its severed mouthparts. It stared hard at Zhou Li and Eluma beside it, its compound eyes full of hatred.
In the end what happened?
Zhou Li suddenly felt pain as if his brain had been pricked by needles, and countless chaotic and fragmented memories began to invade his nerves.
The Underworld... Searching for the power of the Black Emperor... The Demon King... The Moon Dancer... The monster corrupted by the Black Emperor.
After a while, Zhou Li let go of the hand covering his head and gasped with lingering fear. He just took the risk of using the ability to backtrack on himself, and his already fragile nerves would almost collapse completely. But fortunately, relying on this ability, he recovered some memories that he seemed to have forgotten.
Yes, this Moon Dancer is the monster corrupted by the Black Emperor's crown. He attacked himself and Eluma who were investigating the Black Emperor's authority. The two of them fought bloody battles and paid a heavy price, causing great harm to him. However, both he and Eluma were seriously injured in the battle, and the monster also fell into a coma.
It seems that it is not dead.
Zhou Li gritted his teeth and his brain was working rapidly. He didn't know what the black mist on Eluma meant, but the hateful look in the Moon Dancer in front of him was not a sign of kindness. Looking at the gradually healing flesh and blood on the opponent's body, Zhou Li's heart sank. He knew that although the recovery ability of the Holy Tree Crown was powerful, it was not fast enough. In this race of life, you may be born to lag far behind.
There must be a way.
Even if the current Moon Dancer's body was so damaged that a silver-level professional could kill him, Zhou Li was so weak at this time that he couldn't even lift his sword. At the same time, because his magic energy has been exhausted, other god cards cannot be activated. Looking at the monster in front of him that was trying to grow tentacles and move, anxiety and worry appeared in Zhou Li's eyes.
Can't die here.
There were only these words left in Zhou Li's mind. He knew that Eluma was a reborn person, and the advantages and results that humans can obtain now are the experiences she gained after several reincarnations. To be able to create this perfect situation, Eluma has sacrificed a lot. If the two of them die here, Zhou Li's memory will be erased, and Eluma will step into this bloody reincarnation again.
Gritting his teeth, Zhou Li began to mobilize the magic energy in his body. But for him at this time, his body is no longer used for fighting, but for barely surviving. His breathing, heart beating, and blood flow have all reached their lowest levels.
What should be done.
Zhou Li began to feel fear, and a kind of despair took over his heart. He began to hate himself, hating that his strength was too weak. He was obviously a brave man and a time traveler, but he was still a brilliant level professional.
Boom.
The sound of thunder suddenly sounded.
This majestic and sharp heavy sound attracted the attention of Zhou Li and Yue Dancer. The two beings who were participating in the race for life invariably looked at the source of the sound. At this time, Zhou Li realized that the figure of Eluma beside him had disappeared. And just behind him, a towering black palace staircase appeared in front of Zhou Li.
What's this?
Zhou Li was stunned. His brain at this moment couldn't understand why there were such palace-like steps behind him. Looking up the steps, there is only the endless black fog and the thunder hidden in the clouds. Moon Dancer also discovered this, but its reaction was very strange.
Moon Dancer, terrified.
The pair of compound eyes that reflected everything around it were only filled with deep fear. Its body was trembling, and green blood continued to flow out and corrode everything around it. It wanted to retreat, but its broken body could not move at all. Just when it opened its mouth and was about to spray out deadly venom, a long sword condensed with black mist suddenly appeared in its throat.
And, it runs through its brain.
On the steps, a pair of jade feet like works of art were vaguely revealed in the black mist. The platinum ring carved from black jade was gently placed on the smooth and white ankle, and the elegant and mysterious Liuyun skirt also showed its clues. As the black mist surrounded him, slender white fingers gently touched the air. Then, the girl slowly raised the abyss crown in nothingness to crown herself.
In the amber-like eyes, violent black mist and blue intertwined, and two unrelated auras of divinity and king appeared in the girl's eyes. Her long lake-blue hair is tied up with a black gold hairband, and on her graceful swan neck, a white jade-carved power necklace quietly sets off the girl's sanctity.
Black Emperor Eluma.
"Ride hard."
A short syllable summoned a tall and dignified knight. The heavily armored Black Mist Knight stood silently beside Eluma holding a sharp blade. The pair of female eyes under the heavy helmet stared at the crazily struggling Moon Dancer without any emotion.
"Eluma."
Zhou Li stared blankly at the elegant girl walking slowly on the steps, and his mind went blank for a moment. He couldn't believe that the god-like girl in front of him could be the god Eluma who wore armor and went to steal Evan's magazine with him. However, the everlasting tenderness in those eyes made Zhou Li subconsciously think that this was Eluma.
After hearing Zhou Li's voice, Eluma's originally violent eyes became calmer. She looked at Zhou Li not far away, and a faint smile appeared on her beautiful cheeks. She nodded slightly towards Zhou Li, then stretched out her hand and pressed it in the direction of Moon Dancer.
boom! ! ! ! ! !
The black mist and the giant sword fell on Moon Dancer at the same time, and the corrosive blood was swallowed up by the black mist before it even had time to corrode. The roar of the monster disappeared, and in the ruins, only the Black Emperor and the brave man who held the power were left.
"ha."
For some reason, Zhou Li suddenly laughed. His smile was calm, not ecstatic or catastrophic. He just relaxed and leaned back, falling into Eluma's arms.
"very nice."
Feeling the familiar warm embrace, Zhou Li closed his eyes, and his tense nerves completely relaxed. His body riddled with holes put all the accumulated negative feedback on Zhou Li's nerves. Then, Ai Lu was Ma pulled away.
Crushing Zhou Li's pain at will, Eluma leaned down, and her red and delicate lips gently landed on Zhou Li's forehead. With the injection of Black Emperor's power, Zhou Li's body, which was on the verge of collapse, finally recovered. After a moment, Eluma breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "I am the Black Emperor now."
"uh-huh."
Zhou Li didn't open his eyes. At this moment, he was extremely greedy for the embrace that gave him peace of mind. He enjoyed the darkness in front of him and said softly: "What's wrong?"
"Everyone says that the Black Emperor is a tyrannical machine of conquest, the savior of the wicked, and the source of all disasters."
"But you are Eluma."
Zhou Li slowly opened his eyes and looked at the girl who looked worried after losing her mysterious aura. Her voice was a little low but very firm.
"that's enough."
