Silver Blade and Rose

Zarles now understands that the so-called distress letter should have been a hoax from the start.The Viscount Onsarst knows the recent situation of No. 179, and knows that Edwin is unavailable. He wants to use this letter to lure him into the "Forest of No Return". If he can get lost in the forest like Elvins Best of all, if he got here through the forest, Onsarst could do something to him through the statue.

As for whether he already knew that Elvins was still alive, Zarles tended not to, otherwise Unsastre would not let an enemy with amnesia wander around in the forest, and it is possible to break into this secret place at any time. to the temple.

This matter was in Unsarster's calculations from beginning to end, but unfortunately he did not expect that Edwin would not come in person, and the last step suddenly failed, so he must not be reconciled.

And what he should do now is to escape from the temple and take Hyde... Elvins out of the forest together.

Although he took back the dagger on the statue, he did not relax his vigilance at all. He confronted the strange demonic stone statue for a moment, thinking quickly about what to do next.

Onsast snorted coldly, and did not refute his statement, but said: "Even if only one-tenth of my power comes here, you are absolutely impossible to be my opponent."

He said it very arrogantly, but Zals understood that it was true.Onsastre is the Great Demon of Hell. He is not only a human being, but also has not received any professional training as an exorcist. He will not get any benefits from melee combat and shooting. No matter how you look at it, he is not an opponent at all.

But if he can't fight, he can still escape.

"You shouldn't have let me guess these things," he smiled, and he already had an idea in his mind, but he didn't stop talking, "Although I can't call for help, there are other ways."

"...What?" Onsarst paused and said angrily, "Do you want to burn yourself to death?"

Zars threw a small ball on the ground at some point, and the ball of unknown material rolled forward for a while, and suddenly started to ignite spontaneously. Although there was no combustible material around, the fire burned more and more vigorously, and finally spread to the altar. In the flower field, it was out of control.

"Of course I don't want to." Zales ran down the steps a few steps and jumped onto the nearest window sill, turning his head and innocently looking at the stone statue, "So please die yourself."

He tried it, and the window was indeed not locked, and there was no seal on it, so he raised his elbow decisively and smashed the glass on the window, and was about to jump out when he was caught by the hot giant hand that was chasing up.

That hand was like tumbling lava. When Zars grabbed him, he almost thought that his right arm was cooked instantly. It emitted an unpleasant burnt smell, and the position where it directly touched was painful, and even his clothes were instantly burned. ash.He turned his head back with difficulty, and found that the arm was protruding from the broken stone carving, and there was still a black flame burning at the end, grabbing him and not wanting to let go, as if he was going to burn him to death here.

The temperature was too high, and the smoke was mixed in. His brain was a little blank after being burned, so he bit his tongue hard, and barely woke up with the smell of blood in his mouth.Zars knew that he certainly couldn't die here, so he decisively picked up the dagger that fell on the window sill with his other hand. He originally wanted to cut off his arm, but changed his mind temporarily and stabbed it into the wrist of the giant hand.

A puff of black air steamed out, Unsastre let out an angry scream, Zars ignored the severe pain from his right arm, gritted his teeth, held the dagger, twisted half a circle with difficulty, and plunged into the dagger deeply. only giant hands.

Onsarster showed great concern for the dagger, and recognized who he was by it, so the dagger wouldn't be much worse——

Sure enough, after he persisted for a few seconds, the hand that was holding him lessened because of the damage caused by the dagger.Zals didn't intend to continue smashing, and finally stabbed the dagger down hard, using his strength to jump off the window sill.

He rolled around on the grass a few times, rolled out the flames on his clothes, and ran into the forest without thinking twice.The scream of the demon's anger came from the temple, and the fire inside grew bigger and bigger and poured out of the window through which he escaped.

Zars didn't have the energy to take care of these for the time being. After he ran into the forest, he was distracted by the severe pain of the wound. Although he had emergency medicine on him, his hands were shaking from the pain. Second, ordinary first aid medicine might It doesn't work against the demon's black flame, and medicine doesn't have much effect.He wanted to find Hyde who was still waiting for him in the forest first, so he half-kneeled on the ground and raised his head, tried his best to distinguish the direction, and propped himself up to walk.

He only walked halfway when he ran into Hyde who heard the sound, and when the latter saw that he was injured, he subconsciously reached out to help him, but Zars raised a hand to signal him not to approach.

"You killed the forest guard just now," he gasped in embarrassment, and said vigilantly, "you have already got the key to go out, why are you still looking for me?"

"What are you talking about?" Hyde looked blank, "Didn't it die after I walked away and came back? And the key..."

"Okay, come here." Zars relaxed his vigilance, and put himself down under a nearby tree, "I'm burned, see if there's anything I can do."

He had just rolled around on the grass a few times, and the fire on his clothes had been extinguished, but the place where he had been caught was numb with pain, as if it was still burning, and the burnt smell was getting stronger and stronger.

"I suspect……"

He didn't have time to finish his words, because Hyde reached out and grabbed his arm, and directly tore off the fabric near the wound with his bare hands, revealing the position where he was grabbed by Unsastre just now.

That place happened to be in the middle of the upper arm, close to the elbow, a few huge finger marks were clearly visible, the surface had been scorched to a charcoal color, but a little flickering fire could still be faintly seen in the depth.

Hyde frowned, glanced in the direction of the temple, and then looked back at him.

"Are you really human? This fire can burn your whole body into ashes, and you actually escaped from it and ran here?"

His tone was flat, as if he was just talking about an unimportant matter, but the movement of his hands did not stop. He took the water bottle that Zals asked him to keep temporarily, and then cut a hole in his hand with a transparent thread. Drip blood in it.

"You..." The burning pain from the wound made people feel numb, and Zars was already a little confused, but he didn't forget to ask, "What are you doing?"

"Help you." Hyde said without looking up.

The sound of Zals smashing the window just now had alarmed him. At first he was thinking about going in to see the situation, but before he could make a decision, Zals jumped out of the window on the other side of the temple and fled into the forest.So he followed, and after seeing the other party's injuries, he was stunned, and suddenly realized who the person in the temple was.

In fact, he doesn't remember many things, but he also had the wound on Zals's body. At that time, he just woke up in the forest.After that, he began to actively explore what he could do, and gradually developed some means that he could use to protect himself and survive.As for the wound left on his body when he just woke up, he regarded it as an enemy and kept it in his heart.

Now he knew that the person who trapped him was in the temple, but he was not in a hurry to go in for revenge. Instead, he fed the last bit of water mixed with his own blood to Zars, and then asked, "Who is there?"

Zals watched him drip blood into the jug with his own eyes. He didn't want to drink it at first, but Hyde seemed to think that this was an effective method and insisted on feeding it to him. He still bowed his head obediently and poured the I ran out of water.

His head was a little empty, his dominant right hand was injured again, his left hand reached into his right trouser pocket with some difficulty, and he took out the sunstone in the lantern from it, and put it on Hyde's palm.

As soon as the stone fell, it began to change color, quickly changing from a pale amber to pure white.Hyde looked at it in silence for a moment, then asked uncertainly, "...Sunstone?"

"You know it," Zales said.

"I just seem to remember the name." Hyde picked up the stone with two fingers to look at it, and then looked down at him again, "Why did you give this to me all of a sudden?"

Zals touched his right arm with his left hand, and explained to him: "The sunstone will change color according to the race of the holder, the guy who asked me to go into the forest to save people, his color is the same as yours. ..."

He touched his hot arm and stopped talking.

The scene of wrestling with Onsastre after being caught in the temple just now was still imprinted in his mind. Although his arm was burned and painful, he was still conscious.But now he touched his right hand with his left hand again, but he couldn't feel anything.

His right arm had already lost all feeling, and the few burnt black finger marks remained on it, as if they were still burning deep in the flesh and blood, and he would not stop until his whole body was burned to ashes.

Although he knew in his heart that he had narrowly escaped death, Zars was still a little at a loss when faced with the fact in front of him.He sat under the tree, unknowingly ignored Hyde who was still standing in front of him, immersed in his own world and began to daze.

Seeing that he didn't get better after drinking his own blood, Hyde knew in his heart that his right arm might have to be cut off, but Zals sat leaning against the tree trunk, touching his right arm with his left hand a little dullly and dazedly, looking It's really hard to say.He stood in front of Zars for a while, and suddenly said: "The person you want to save is already dead, or has he never existed from the beginning to the end?"

Zars came back to his senses and shook his head: "Dead."

He thought of the broken stone sculpture, he didn't break it, it should be Onsastre who broke the statue in order to control himself, and then he was able to stretch out his hand from inside - the statue is the person who called for help, according to this Thinking, the man was cut bloody by him first, and then a part of his body was directly broken by Onsastre, no matter how he thought about it, he should not be able to survive.

In fact, because the temperature of Hei Yan was too high, he didn't even see blood when he looked back.

This rescue mission can be said to have failed completely, but it doesn't matter, he also found important people.Onsaste didn't know why he didn't chase out of the temple, maybe it was limited by the container, maybe it was the lack of power in the world, in short, he narrowly escaped death, and his life was not in danger for the time being.Although injured... maybe Edwin can find a way to solve it for him.

He couldn't figure out what he was thinking, and his thoughts drifted away for a while, until a bird flew by in the forest, and the crisp cry brought back his wandering heart.

Zals struggled to stand up against the tree, and stretched out his good hand to Hyde.

"Come on," he said, a little wearily, frustrated by the thought of his hands, "forget about anything else, let's get out of here."
