"Very good, there are no problems with my five senses, and my body seems to be fine, but..."
In the darkness, the man sitting cross-legged slowly opened his eyes.
"is it here?"
This place filled with the aura of heresy is also the deepest part of a man's heart. This is the reason why his consciousness has been unable to wake up from reality.
As the man opened his eyes, the surrounding space quietly lit up with stars. As if at the other end of time and space, a quiet world filled with darkness of ten colors appeared before his eyes like a prison.
"This is not surprising, right! After all, no matter how noble the power of "that thing" is, it is essentially a tool used to spread filth, isn't it? "
The footsteps of outsiders echoed in the solemn space, as if the frozen time and space had been melted by the heat and started to run like clockwork, breaking the precipitated silence.
Although the visitor did not show up, the pressure visible to the naked eye was enough for the man to identify the other party.
"It's natural."
There is no plot, simply mixed with hospitality and unreasonable jokes, which really reflects the style of a man. However, for the owner of the voice to visit so unscrupulously, even his unwavering expression has slightly changed in the repeated compromises. Relief begins.
"I just don't know what the purpose of Lord Demon King's visit is?"
"I was thinking that I am here because of the poison of an ambush, or I have other considerations, but in fact it is not the case, you know - Baron Bokar!"
Hearing the other party say his name, Barong raised his head and saw a figure covered in black mist, wandering arrogantly in front of him at this moment.
"I am here this time just to emphasize the decision that was previously entrusted to you, and to demand the price you should pay for ignoring the warning and acting recklessly."
The other party's speech seemed to expose Barong's courage. No, rather, as his mortal enemy, it was the other party's ability to grasp the current situation. Even if he could read his foresight from an expression, it was by no means impossible.
"So... what are you going to do, kill them all?" Baron seemed unconcerned on the surface, but in fact he was greatly shaken in his heart. However, in order to prevent the other party from seeing through his thoughts, he If nothing happens, express your attitude.
"So, why are you in such a difficult situation like now? I originally wanted to see for myself what was going on." However, looking at Barong's appearance, the shadow smiled unconsciously. Speak up.
"I see. Judging from your reaction, that means you were also placing bets before this?"
After such a hypocritical sigh, the black shadow couldn't help but laugh, but the man opposite him still sat there in a daze, with only his brows trembling slightly in confusion and confusion.
"In this case, I will forgive you for the crime you committed this time. If there is another time, then what you are worried about will be the outcome that happens to them."
"So, is this the only thing you really want to convey? To pardon my crimes, or to coerce me into participating in this resistance?"
"Why, are you still dissatisfied with anything?"
"That's not the case. There is room for maneuver. It is a good thing for us who are pursuing hope, and for you who are willing to enjoy "farce". "Baron replied.
"But before you leave, I have one more question:"
"Who are you?"
"???"
It was like calling out something taboo, words full of truth and taboo, which made the figure surrounded by thick black mist freeze in place.
who I am? I am human. What is a person? This is the ultimate question contained in materialist philosophy, which is both the basis of all human problems and the justification for why people are who they are. If you cannot correctly understand this problem, it will be difficult to get correct answers to other questions.
But what men want is not a discussion of this issue, but the answer hidden behind it!
"who I am?"
However, it is precisely because things went against his expectations that he did not hesitate to weaken himself to get here.
"Is that so, in the end, just to get here, you have done everything you can?"
Since he embarked on the path of spiritual practice, the man has never slackened in training. Although he is still lacking in many aspects, even so, the nearly two hundred years of dedication to training and study with faith are enough for him to possess a certain level of Conceit and reserve.
The man can be sure that the truth hidden under the black mist, that "he" - may have already arrived, the "chaotic" karma that has been passed down for a long time since the mythical age, is deeply hidden in the abyss.
Because of this, as the first witness besides the Demon King, he must have paid an unusual price.
"Ahhhhhhhhh-!"
As if something poured into his brain, the figure entangled in the black mist crouched down, held his head and screamed, while the man sitting on the ground opposite him put aside his grudge and looked at him with concern.
"It's time to wake up, Gretel..."
In the starry sky mixed with the gentle sound of wind, the black mist that filled the surroundings flowed softly, setting off waves of ripples in the silent space like water waves. Soon the black mist gradually became calmer and no longer restless, and the body of the person who came from here was peeled off and slowly dispersed. Go away, leaving only a body covered in blood curled up in pain on the ground.
The other party seemed to be a strange face, and his whole body exuded an ominous aura, but Baron could be sure that the other party was exactly the existence he called for - the brave Gretel!
"I...remembered..." The familiar yet unfamiliar figure stood up slowly, holding his forehead, looking at Barong with a hint of surprise.
"Looking at you, you don't seem surprised that I figured out your identity?" Barong's voice was still as witty as ever, but it also contained the emotion of reuniting with an old friend who had been away for a long time.
Even though they may not have been separated for too long, the joy that is difficult to rely on is self-evident.
"After all, senior is so keen, he must have noticed it just by seeing me arrive here in this body, right?"
Barong didn't answer, just stared at the other person quietly. Once upon a time, the person in front of me was still a high-spirited young man, a brave man recognized by the gods with high hopes of saving the world, but now he appeared in front of me in such an embarrassing manner dragging his incomplete soul, and in fact, he did not give in to his own situation. How could he smile at the embarrassing situation of meeting the stranger.
"I just didn't expect that a being as strong as the "Dragon Slaying Hero" could be so weak. "Seeing that Baron didn't speak, Gretel couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Stop joking, I'm quite tough compared to you. But it's true that after this, even I can't be sure how long I can hold on. But at least, before witnessing this "end" , I can barely hold on, but whether I can do it or not, maybe only the stars know. "As his eyes wandered from Gretel to the starry sky, Baron sighed helplessly.
"That...I..."
Dragging his dying body, the former brave man longed to convey important words. However, just as he was about to speak, he noticed a pair of eyes silently watching here. As if stuck in his throat, he had no choice but to give up.
But Gretel is unwilling to accept this reality. If this body is restrained and cannot convey information, then what is the point of trying his best to come here?
"I...I'm sorry..." The broken soul gradually dimmed in the starry sky. In the end, he couldn't help but say these words, which made Gretel feel ashamed.
"Don't blame yourself."
The man was still as gentle as ever, but his words were filled with a unique aura condensed after crossing many unimaginable Shura fields.
"In fact, your visit is already meaningful just by talking to me." He stood up as he spoke, forced out a smile, and then extended his hand to the other person as if he had just met her for the first time. .
"Baron Bokar is deeply honored to meet the brave man. This time, as you wish, there will be no more unnecessary etiquette."
