Hell's Code of Conduct
Chapter 64
One of the reasons for not running with other humans is that Gray is here, and the other is that there is really nothing to run. It is really the end of the world. There will be no difference in who goes first because of the difference in where they stay.
Betula is responsible for answering the tavern owner's question: "In theory, yes. The godhead born from the core of the planet belongs to the highest core of power in the existence we know, and one of the characteristics of the black beast is that it can swallow other powers. Strengthen yourself, it is already very powerful now, if you eat the godhead with root power, then there will be nothing on this planet that can compete with it-relatively, if it is too strong, it will be difficult to maintain its shape, almost [-]% There is a high chance that he will lose his mind, return to the original attitude of the master of chaos, and continue to devour everything around him irrationally until everything is brought into darkness."
Hovers, who got the answer, trembled under Betula's calm statement, and asked in horror: "Then why would he do this? What good would it do him?" Eat everything, wouldn't it be Are you left alone?
"The black beast is not a living creature in nature. It is extremely unlikely that it can evolve rational thinking. It should only have the instinct of devouring." Jaeger's thoughts are very pessimistic, after all, he is the one who witnessed a certain The one who devoured the gods because of being awakened by a black beast. "Maybe it's a whim, maybe there are reasons we don't know. The only different aspect of the black beast today may be that it has a little bit of humanity that suppresses its bestiality. This is the change brought about by Leal."
The abyss technician glanced at Ferris with complicated eyes. If the man in the black suit didn't mention that he was the Shadow of the Black Beast, everyone would treat him as an ordinary human being. This situation is unprecedented.
"The problem now is that Leal was imprisoned in the black mist by the black beast... That guy never mentioned what happened between him and the black beast. He really doesn't fit in. So I don't know if they have enmity or—"
"Ferlinai... the Black Beast regards Leal as his only true love." Although it was impolite, Ferris chose to intervene, but it was very awkward to say this sentence from his mouth in a rigid manner.
"Do people and monsters fall in love?" Hovers asked the question and saw that everyone was looking at him. After realizing that he said something wrong, he said in a low voice, "I didn't mean that, I'm sorry." Then he shut up immediately.
Betura on one side wrote something on his tablet.
Gray noticed him and asked, "What are you writing?"
Betula replied truthfully: "I am thinking about love. If someone mentions this word, I will write it down, because Jaeger..."
"Cough, cough, cough!! Serious topic, serious topic! Let's continue!" The abyss technician almost coughed his throat, and said with a blushing face: "The other party is an invincible disaster. Pessimistically speaking, now that the barriers disappear, the angels are destroyed. Elimination, the powerful demons are either dead or injured or huddled at home, the world has its own mess, and we go head-to-head to fight it is like delivering food. The only thing we can do is to try to release Leal from the black mist and let him stop the black beast .”
"Only one person, to stop that?" Hovers pointed at the black mark on Hell with trembling fingers.
Gray said to Hovers: "He's no ordinary man, he's Pale Moon."
"It's what you've been looking for...!" The short and fat man widened his eyes, and seeing the calm expressions of the other people around him, he said excitedly as if he had suddenly regained hope: "Great! If it's Gray The one who has divine power in his mouth will definitely be able to...!"
"Use Leal and continue to hurt him, Black Death, don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you like cats!"
A series of meows interjected into everyone's conversation. Only Ferris understood the meaning of the cat's meow, but before he could translate, Gray had already sensed the danger and nimbly dodged the sharp claws of the white-clawed black cat that sprang out from the shadows. .
All eyes were on Mr. Lulu who couldn't hit the ground lightly.
"There are cats! Cats!" Hovers, who had heard the horror stories about hellcats, was about to pass out.The obese body leaned against the door and kicked down the screaming vase at the door—Jegger's habit of placing such a curious thing at the door of his working place should really be changed.
The scene was once again very chaotic.
......
Everyone finally chose to move to the relatively spacious downstairs to continue discussing countermeasures.
Since no one could understand Mr. Lulu's cat language, Ferris thought of a way to use shadows to simulate sounds. He couldn't do the same thing before. It can be seen that after the series of actions of the black beast itself, the power of shadows is also considerable. land has grown.
"Leal is now under the protection of the black beast, and it is impossible for you to get close to him." Mr. Lulu licked his claws, "The crown of the king of hell already belongs to Leal, and the black beast devours the godhead just to eliminate this evil spirit." The aftermath of the shadow transformation, isn't this not good? Finally, a rational black beast appeared."
"Let everyone believe that he can maintain his sanity after devouring the godhead?!" Jaeger questioned loudly.
The Abyss Technician, who has not received any news from the Black Crystal Palace, no longer cares about the issue of power ring aggregation. He has already speculated that the barrier disappeared, but he was deeply surprised that the Black Beast would hand over the crown to Leal.
The black beast purposely disabled the defenses of hell, removing the last obstacle for the angel to perform the ritual, so that the godhead would appear so quickly, and then he took the opportunity to destroy the angel and occupy the godhead, which is almost the same thing.
Mr. Lulu didn't bother to talk much. It didn't come to explain the motive of the black beast's behavior. Instead, it said to Ferris: "This place is too close to the sea of void, even if it is pushed aside by the black mist, it is really dangerous. You should leave."
Ferris shook his head, "I won't go."
One person and one cat looked at each other, using other people as the background.
"Hey." Gray raised his chin and said to the white-clawed black cat, "How long does the black beast plan to keep Leal in prison."
Mr. Lulu didn't want to talk to him very much, and meowed, "Until there is nothing in this world that can threaten them anymore."
"It sounds like the black beast is very confident in its own protection. Leal doesn't know he's trapped, right?" Gray snorted coldly, "The real name of the star has the effect of traveling through time and space. If I call Leal, you Elaborate camouflage is useless."
The black cat glared at him, "Black Death, the Black Beast has always been very tolerant to you because you are Leal's compatriots in another world, I advise you not to make any progress—meow?!"
Gray picked up Mr. Lulu and shook it vigorously, "Come on, let's see if I pronounce his real name faster or the black beast kills me faster."
"Meow!!" Mr. Lulu was shaken into an afterimage, and he abused the cat meow!
"Wait, Gray, don't be impulsive." Ferris snatched the white-pawed black cat from Gray's hand, Mr. Lulu almost foamed at the mouth, and stretched out his paw tremblingly, "You, you wait for me... "
"Even if I am killed by the black beast, Leal can still hear the call to stop the black beast."
Gray stared at Ferris with complicated eyes. This is obviously a good way to open up the situation. Why did he stop it.
——He didn't want me to die just like that...?
Jaeger hurriedly echoed Ferris, "It's not that far, don't just say you want to sacrifice."
"Yes, yes, you still have to save your people, and there are still many unfinished things." Hovers continued, covering his heart.
"...Is this casual?" Gray showed a sullen look on his face, and he looked around everyone, except for Betula who had a dull expression, they were all looking at him with concern.
His wish is to let Leal help him ferry the souls of his people to the other side. As for his ending, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter...
Really?Even sacrifice here?
The voice in the bottom of my heart shouted loudly.
——The Black Death has sinned so deeply that it should not be cared for, and it cannot be forgiven even if it lends a helping hand.
"...I'm going out for a walk."
This made the blond fallen man very uncomfortable, he stepped back a few steps, avoided people's sight, opened the door and walked out.
But Gray had to speed up after taking a few steps. He never expected Ferris to be so lingering, following him all the time.Gray followed the flow of people into the deserted alley on the side of the tavern, turned around abruptly and pushed Ferris against the wall, and said sternly, "Don't follow me!"
Ferris slammed his back against the wall with a bang. Gray knew that he was used to hitting hard, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't hide at all. The fierce expression on his face disappeared instantly, and he was a little helpless.
"you……"
The blond fallen man didn't come out with "you". The shadow of the black beast, which has always been gentle in everyone's eyes, suddenly grabbed Gray's shoulder and threw him back against the opposite wall. Reese grabbed him by the collar.
Ferris snarled, "You want Lyall to save your people, but exclude yourself?! Shouldn't you be saved?! It is extremely irresponsible to give up your life so easily, even if they You won’t be happy even if you’re saved, don’t you want to see them smile and go to the other shore!”
"You can do more by living!"
Although the time to be a man is short, Ferris has tried his best to express the mood of "I'm very angry" to the fullest.
Gray froze in place, as if he had lost the ability to brew words.
The tip of Ferris' nose almost touched Gray's face, and they were so close that Gray could see his own stupid face through Ferris' dark eyes.
Ferris's voice was resounding, "I will not watch you die, do you hear me? Dying is not a hero, nor is it atonement. I believe that a better way will be found."
Then there was a long silence.
Ferris' unilateral confrontation seemed to stop time at this moment.
——It turns out that I still...
—It is possible to live for more than sin.
Gray pushed away the hand that was about to make him breathless, but grabbed Ferris' wrist with his backhand, grabbed the hair on the back of his head and gnawed on his lips.
"Where did you learn these great principles?" Gray recalled that it wasn't long before Ferris transformed from a chaotic shadow into a conscious entity, and his criticism of human nature was really profound.
Ferris was stunned by the unprepared kiss, his momentum lost a lot in an instant, and he didn't know where to put the hand that was pushed away, so he let out a muffled snort.
Gray laughed and said, "Weren't you still very proud just now?"
Ferris was completely dumbfounded.
"Then let me tell you a human secret, we regained hope very quickly." Gray grabbed Ferris's hand and kissed the back of his hand forcefully, then walked out of the alley.His face regained his fighting spirit.
"The shadows are under the surveillance of the black beast, right? Then I will keep silent."
"First, go to the port and have a look."

Gray www
I really want to sigh, the most clear one in this article is Gray ~ he is also a good player at playing hooligans (x
75. In hell, everyone also looks forward to the future
After Gray came to the pier in a hurry, although he saw rows of deserted berths, he also saw the Silver Knights marching against the wind, waiting in full force, and Theresia, the lord of hell, standing at the forefront.
According to the customs of Cassinola, silver is more noble than gold. The wizards of Emerald Academy regard silver as the highest magic rank, and Theresia's knights also use silver as their symbolic color.
Today, when all the gates of hell have been blown up and no one can escape from hell, there is a black mist that destroys heaven and earth in front of it, and there is a gap that penetrates the world with the appearance of a godhead behind. People are stationed here and become outposts.
Although it was possible to enter directly without any explanation, this time Gray went to the herald in an unprecedented manner, hoping to get a chance to talk to the monarch.
The speed of being approved was very fast. When the blond fallen man walked in front of Theresia, he realized that some knights had recognized his identity. The members of the knights here were not fledglings, but elites among the elite. have worked together.
But there was no commotion, and they backed away quietly, leaving room for the queen and the former captain to talk.
"You are the third person I met today." The queen in silver and white armor stood side by side with Gray, who was not her subordinate now.
"I guess there is a self-proclaimed abyss technician in the first two."
"Indeed. Jaeger Grant, the engineer of the abyss and the head of the Artisans of the Endless Sea, has already informed me of the true face of the black mist and the exact time of landing. This made me realize that my previous understanding was wrong, the black beast , The hell lord who once dormant in the dark forest is not a demon, but some kind of existence that is more mysterious than the evil god." Theresa said: "I was blinded by the illusory rumors and my own short-sightedness, thinking that it must be defeated enemy without knowing its nature is more like an elusive natural disaster.”
Theresa recalled the last meeting of the monarch, she did not face the darkness, but she also failed to discover the specialness of the other party.
"It's not something that mortals can see through, and the logic of its thinking and actions is beyond the predictability of humans. No one here thought that the black beast would cause such a storm." Gray knew that there were all the humans in hell behind Theresa, and she no matter what He couldn't retreat no matter what, but he still said: "Abandon Leuk City and move people as far as possible to the inland. I think you have done this right. But you should also go."
Therecia looked at Gray, "Ordinary hurricanes will show a weakening trend once they land on land. This is a force of nature, but the black beast is not. It will become stronger and stronger according to what it devours, or more extreme. After coming to Luke City, I chose to avoid the deserted cities, and directly swept through the shelters with a lot of people."
In the face of disasters, no matter humans or demons, all the residents of hell are helpless.
Gray: "...you want to use yourself as a bait to slow down the black beast."
"After all, I am the leader of humans who once fought against the forces of demons. The black beast may pay attention." Theresa smiled, "Let as many people as possible go to the Black Crystal Palace in the center of hell. I have sent a letter to Rafman, and he promised Do everything in your power to receive everyone."
Seeing the resolute look on Theresia's face, Gray suddenly wondered whether his actions in front of Ferris just now were the same, and he wanted to sacrifice himself for a better chance.
—It looks very annoying.No wonder he gets angry.
Seeing Gray's sullen face, Teresia knew that the other party understood what she meant, and continued: "Norin is missing, she is in my palace, I can't find her, maybe she has also been killed by an unknown existence. My knights and I will fight to the last moment to protect mankind, and will not be slaughtered, no matter what we face."
None of the guarding knights moved, and Gray knew they were thinking the same as their lord.
There is no need to go to this point.
Gray held back his anger, and said to Theresa: "If you still want to believe me, get out of here. My method saves everyone from having to sacrifice."
……
After Gray left the pier, all the residents of Roke City had almost left.This time, he could easily find the angel floating high in an empty city. It was facing the direction of the pier, possibly watching Theresia who was withdrawing the knights.
"How did you do it?" The only remaining angel in hell came to Gray. It thought that the Queen of Glory would give her life here so that all human beings could have a moment to breathe. Made her change her mind.Why did Therecia still trust the Black Death?It cannot understand.
Gray replied: "You can control it."
"..." The outline of the light showed no expression, but it was indeed choked for a while. "You didn't call me, don't you need my help?"
"You didn't say your name at all, suspicious angel."
"Anyway, I'm the only one in hell now, and the other angels have been swallowed by black beasts. So you can just call me an angel."
That is really simple and convenient.
Gray was still wary of the other party, not getting too close to it, and asked from a distance: "Godhead is occupied by Felinnai, your wish to prevent Theresia from becoming a god is probably fulfilled, give me the holy gun, don't Now tell me what you said is false."
"I do have the Holy Lance, it's not a lie. But I don't think the Holy Lance can inflict heavy damage on the current Black Beast. But don't get me wrong, Gray, it's not your credit that Theresa escaped from the fate of becoming a god." .I help you only for the future, after all, if the world is destroyed, there will be no future for everything.”
"Stop talking nonsense" was clearly written on Gray's face.
He took the light talisman of the holy gun from the angel, but because Gray is a fallen person, the process of engraving the mark on his hand really brought him a heart-rending pain.
He shook his hand to dispel the pain, and asked, "Why did the angel keep a holy spear but not use it when the black beast was not so strong? As long as you look for a chance, the chance of success is quite high, isn't it?"
"The heavens used all the remaining holy guns in the last war, but they failed to kill the black beast. When the black beast was dormant in the dark forest, we made an agreement with the witch in the resting place not to touch it. After Leal woke up, although this man On the surface, he is doing his own thing, but in fact he is strictly guarding against other holy guns that may exist, and has not let down his vigilance for a moment. But the most important reason is not these—”
"It's because other angels don't know the existence of this holy gun that I own. I got it from other places."
Gray thought that the angel could omit the first sentence and only mention the last sentence, but he still said so much, I really owe him a slap.
The angel said to Gray: "I have one more condition. Norin was killed by the black beast, but don't tell Theresa about it."
"Even if she doesn't say it now, she will know one day."
The angel patted his wings, "If you succeed, then there will be no 'someday'."
……
On the way back to the Hovers Tavern, Gray double-checked the light symbol in his hand, and glanced at the shadows on both sides of the building.
——I haven't been killed yet, the black beast is really not afraid of the Holy Lance anymore.
Gray snorted in his heart, or maybe the black beast didn't bother to pay attention to the dying struggle of these ants.
Ferris came quietly to Gray, took his wrist, and frowned at the mark on his palm.
"Does it hurt?"
"What is this? It's okay, don't pay attention to it at this time." Gray withdrew his hand, "Are you ready?"
"Hmm." Although Gray had promised him not to mess around, Ferris was still worried, but he couldn't ask in detail - the black beast might know their plan through Ferris.
Gray pressed Ferris' shoulder, "You just have to remember to trust me and do what I say when the time comes."
Ferris responded slightly, "Okay."
Jaeger put down the binoculars in his hand, sat on the roof and ate a sandwich. He originally wanted to observe the black fog on the roof, but when he accidentally saw Gray and Ferris on the street, he thought to himself that he didn't do it on purpose .
Betura next to Jaeger was also watching.
"It's nice to be young," exclaimed Jaeger, who had already classified them as being in a relationship.
"Even if they are guilty, there are still people who are willing to believe in the Black Death." The silver-haired devil was still holding a tablet, writing and drawing on it.He suddenly thought, "Should we call everyone here?"
"Well. Half and half of them are demons. I have never had the opportunity to bring them to the territory of the fallen before. Now hell can't be so clearly distinguished."
The reason why the Artisans of the Endless Sea have been wandering is not that the abyss technicians think too highly of themselves. In the past, they brought so many demons to stay in the same place for too long. No matter whether they are in the human territory or the demon territory, there will be various problems over time. .
So if hell has a new future across this crisis, can this change.
"Most people don't know that the black mist on the sea can really destroy hell. They think that as long as they flee inland, they will be fine."
"Isn't that great? Why do you have to know when the end of the world will be?" Jaeger smiled wryly. "It's not good to know too much."
"Then, as the book says, live each day as if it were your last. (Note 1)"
"It makes sense, but people will only realize it when their lives are about to end." Jaeger finished eating the food in his hands safely, patted the crumbs on his hands, and said, "And it's not the end yet, Gray said yes Method."
"Do you want to believe in the Black Death?"
"Betura, everyone is actually crazy inside, including but not limited to completely trusting a person he has known for a few days. But in fact, what he really trusts is his own judgment." Abyssal Technician smiled helplessly, "After all, human beings It's a very selfish creature."
After finishing speaking, he shouted to Gray below: "Hey! What's the countermeasure!"
Gray looked up, smiled and said, "Now, do nothing."
At this time, Duysen also wobbled from the other side of the long street and came to Hovers's tavern. He was so busy that he was about to ask the boss for something to eat. "Okay!" Hovers' angry voice came from the tavern.
The Ressa has already installed the latest protection with Theresia's blessing, and the abyss technician has also installed the magic equipment. He is waiting to take this strange but trusted man to sea.
Gray nodded to Duysen and said, "Wait for the last moment."
Waiting for the time when the shell of the godhead is shattered and the black beast concentrates its strength and has no time to care about him.
=======
Note 1: This sentence comes from the ancient Roman philosopher (and he is also the emperor of the Roman Empire) Marc Aurelius Anthony Augustus "Meditations": "The perfection of morality consists in treating each day as Live it as the last day of your life."
76. In hell, take this place as your home
The fully armed Ressa was riding the wind and waves wantonly in the sea, which made Duysen really addicted. He almost forgot about giving it away. The mission of conquering the ocean seemed to be engraved in his blood, which made this strange boy excited .
The wind and air here reminded him of the blue dream he had when he was dying, the heart embedded in his chest was beating vigorously, as if Reza was beside him.
He will go back, to the Isle of Tears, but with hope.
Gray was recuperating in the cabin with his eyes closed, and the other crew members of the Ressa were not with him. It seemed that their captain was alone on this life-or-death voyage.Before leaving, Jaeger urgently worked on a lot of auxiliary parts for the Ressa, which guaranteed the voyage with only two people.
"I heard from Jaeger that the captain of the Resa hates the Black Death very much." Gray seemed to have fully adapted to speaking to his own shadow.
Ferris in the shadow answered him softly: "I believe there is no hatred that cannot be eliminated."
"This is two different things. You are not familiar with human beings." Gray didn't want to answer at first. "The situation is forcing me. I have no position to tell him now. Let's talk about it later."
Drop drop-! !
There was a mechanical sound alarm on the deck, and the Ressa, which was moving at full speed, finally started its possibly final mission.
Gray: "We're going into the black mist."
"Go directly into the black mist? That's chaotic..." Ferris didn't know Gray's plan, but the black mist on the sea was part of the power of the black beast, and it contained a strong power of chaos. Should the ship be allowed to enter like this.
"Only take a walk in the extreme periphery." Gray heard a series of mechanical sounds of various frequencies, "But the danger is that the captain who steers on the deck will see the darkness outside, and those who look directly at the chaos will go mad. According to the news from Thearesia, most of the slave ships that collided with the black mist when it first appeared had disasters due to this reason.”
"So the captain has temporarily blocked his eyesight, relying on Mr. Abyss Technician's instrument to identify the direction?"
Gray nodded, "According to Jaeger Grant's measurement, the destructive power of the black mist around the periphery is not that strong, because it still has to contend with the turbulent flow of magic power in the Void Sea, but it is like a vacuum area where power is contested." Gray clasped his hands tightly. The support in the cabin, the unfixed sundries are rolling around in the cabin, and the bumps of the Resa can now make people spit out their internal organs.
After hearing the long bell from the deck for the third time, Gray grabbed the handle and kicked open the hatch.
"gone!"
The shadow where Ferris was was followed.
The phantom armor resonated crisply on Gray's wrist. The weight of the full body armor allowed Gray to walk on the wind and waves as if walking on flat ground. When he stepped on the deck, the Resa had entered the critical point marked by Jaeger on the map. zone, and the darkness mercilessly crushes all that is visible.
Gray ran with all his strength on the deck, stepped onto the bowsprit with the last step, and jumped towards the black mist.
"Go home! Go!" Gray yelled at Duysen and then jumped into the darkness.
Captain Yimo saw the man's black armor in the dark vision that was about to be released.
"..." But he didn't say anything, and immediately turned the bow of the boat and rushed out of the black mist.
As Gray plunged into the darkness, he called to Ferris, "Catch me!"
Immediately afterwards, the blond fallen man fell into a darkness that was not black mist but the same source.
"Take me... as deep as you can, there is a... island with... a silver-white sandy beach..." Being in the dark is different from observing the darkness, and getting into it doesn't mean closing your eyes can prevent you from being eroded. Gray felt his bone marrow freeze in an instant The bone-chilling coldness, and the tremendous pressure that seems to be unable to recognize myself.
He was taken into the shadows by Ferris after he was pierced unconscious by the angel's spear of light. He couldn't recall how he felt at that time, but the terrifying situation now was real.
——In this abyss, there are actually people who can freely shuttle here.
Gray's teeth chattered from the cold, but he also knew that he was not really cold, but a resistance from his body that refused to go deep into the darkness.His consciousness was torn apart, and his soul was trembling. He wanted to grit his teeth and survive the initial discomfort, hoping to adapt to them, but unfortunately, the surging darkness was not something that could be numb with bleeding and pain over time.It will only bring ruthless rejection, frantically crushing will and spirit.
Gray's brain desperately sent out signals to find his limbs, and finally got a response from his body. He squeezed his left hand tightly, and his nails touched the light symbol on the palm.
——It's not the time yet, you must use the Holy Lance after seeing the island.
Gray mobilized all his strength to walk through the darkness. In a world without light, every step was extremely difficult. He was rejected by the darkness, and his soul trembled every time the shadow touched him. He walked twenty steps, maybe ten steps , I have exhausted my strength.
Leal's real name is on his lips, and he can still feel his mouth and tongue. As long as he reads his real name, his mission is completed. He doesn't need to care about his own life and death, and let the rest of the matter and the aftermath be done. The living do it.
No.This is not right.
Gray's dark vision reflected Ferris' figure, he found his voice, and said intermittently in the dark world: "Ferris...s...grab...my hand..."
A different kind of darkness than ravaged him wrapped Gray's palm.
Gray actually felt a little warm. Although he knew it was an illusion, it brought him some peace of mind.Then he completely handed himself over to the other party, letting this distinctive black pull him, and move forward in the chaos of no direction.
Gray saw the black island.
It was no surprise to see a pitch-black behemoth.
The beast claws swung mercilessly, Gray's phantom armor could only resist one attack, and the bracelet showed tiny cracks.The blond fallen man was thrown flying, and could no longer avoid the merciless second blow.
Just when Gray was about to cast the Holy Lance, the shadow that had been attached to him like a safety rope said softly, "Go, finish what you should do."
Gray was hurled toward the island by a force, and a shadowy human figure leaped at the behemoth.
"Ferris!"
"What are you doing?" The voice from the Black Beast overwhelmed Gray's shout, "Get out."
The black figure said slowly: "I originally wanted to say that I was doing the right thing, but that's not the case."
The Shadow of the Black Beast knew that he could not be Felinnay's opponent, but he still opened the screen and tried his best to push the Black Beast body out of the core of the island.
Gray found a faint light on the island. It was a magic book with gems on the cover. It was floating above a deep darkness, using gems to illuminate the eroding shadows around it.
That's it.
Gray opened his palm, and while releasing the Holy Lance, he also heard what Ferris was saying. "It has nothing to do with being right or wrong, even if it's all meaningless - I will never leave him."
——No matter what I am facing, I will not leave, there is someone I love here.
[I will never leave you. 】
The pitch-black behemoth Felinnai turned into hesitated for a moment.
The holy spear landed on the island, not to attack the black beast itself, but to disperse the shadows around Leal.
In an instant, the sound of waves and rocks collapsing reached his ears, and Gray finally stepped on the long-lost solid ground.
Leal lay on the sand with his eyes closed.
Gray rushed over against the clock, "You give me—wake up!"
But even if the shadow was removed, the call had no effect, and Leal remained motionless.
This was an unexpected situation. When Gray was thinking about countermeasures quickly, he heard Yisha's voice like a hallucination.
"Brother, come here."
Then Gray suddenly lost consciousness.
Felinnai sensed the slightest cracks in the shell of the godhead in the Jukou cave, and the chaos finally eroded the protection completely, and he was only one step away from devouring the godhead.
Did they count the time to come?
The black beast turned back to look at Leal on the beach, but the other party showed no sign of waking up, and the ant that rushed in suddenly passed out for some reason.They couldn't wake Lyal.
Felinnay no longer wrestled with the shadow, he threw Ferris aside and stepped into the shadow to go to the cave of the giant mouth.
……
"here it is……"
Gray's sudden loss of consciousness was not caused by lack of physical strength, but that his soul was pulled by an unknown force——
"It's the depths of Leal's soul. The fantasy space built by his will. Because his soul is tattered now, it's easy for someone to guide him in." The girl in sacrificial robe came behind Gray and pointed Looking at the temple on the top of the mountain, "You should recognize it there, brother."
"Ysha, you..." The place the other party pointed to was the temple of all the gods in Kasindur, where Yisha had guarded the staff until he died.
Before Gray asked the question, the girl said first: "My soul has always existed in my brother's phantom armor, but when you were in contact with Lord God King, I sneaked to Lord God King."
Yisha dragged his brother by the corner of his clothes and walked up the stairs leading to the temple, explaining the situation as briefly as possible, "I tried to repair his soul, but the incomplete parts still need his original soul fragments to fill. The King of God fell into confusion because Yusiah disturbed his memory, and his consciousness returned to this fictional space. I wanted to wake him up internally, but he regarded me as a fictional person instead of a real creation Fortunately, brother, you are here, the black beast is about to devour the godhead, and we don't have much time."
Gray ignored the fact that Yisha was able to talk to him so vividly in the state of his soul, but he was still shocked, "Why do you know this, even about Cassinola?"
Yisha blinked mischievously, "In my brother's eyes, I'm still that naughty little girl, but the person who guards Kasyndur's scepter will definitely not be an ordinary priest. My identity is the same as that of the Witch in Resting Place .”
Seeing that Gray was still incomprehensible, the girl sighed and said solemnly to him: "Brother, you just need to remember that everyone including me is dead, but you are still 'alive', I will not hesitate to violate the commandments Let you know in advance that Kasindor's destruction was not just due to your own selfishness." Yisha finished speaking in one breath, and pushed Gray down the stairs, "It's up to you!"
Gray didn't have time to think about whether his soul would fall to his death. After he fell, his center of gravity rose strangely, and he went directly to the temple that should have been on the mountain above his head in a top-heavy manner.This place is indeed fictitious, and the rules are so strange.
The platinum-golden temple was empty, and Leal did not sit on the jade seat, but sat on the ground on the edge of the precarious steps connecting the cliff, looking out of the temple like a beautifully carved crystal sculpture.
"How long are you going to stay here?"
Gray walked over and stood behind Lyal, almost stepping on the trailing tail of his heavy robe.
Leal turned a deaf ear, and stared into the distance with his eyes containing the sea of stars without blinking.In the broken temple, his eyes were calm and flat, and his pale face made Gray observe a bit of divinity and coldness.
Is this how Leal, who is the king of Kasindur, who became the king of gods as a human being and did not accept any godhood, spent his last days in this high temple.
Following Leal's quiet eyes, Gray, who had not personally experienced the end of Kasyndur, was shocked by what he saw.
The earth is dark, the sky is white, the sun is gone, the stars are dim, and the pale moon hangs high in the sky.The sudden avalanche of mountain peaks here and there caused shocking noises and dust from falling rocks, lakes and seawater competed to dry up, and fires ignited among the cities, dyeing the snow-white sky with strange colors.
As for the life on the earth, it cannot be seen here.From here, there is no sign of any life.
However, Pale Moon is still rotating souls, and the lonely god king who drives away all the gods keeps driving his own power, looking for living beings that may still exist, and guarding them into the root.
In the end, even the root does not accept the soul, the cycle stops completely, and the fire of the world is extinguished.
Couldn't save.So much has been sacrificed, but there is still no happy ending.
Even if someone offered a prayer to him, he couldn't hear it.
Gray closed his eyes, expelling the final scene from his mind.He said to Leal, "Hey, don't watch it. Is it fun to reminisce about the pain over and over again, you have more important things now."
After a long time, Leal exhaled slowly, "I have already failed once."
Gray was furious, "You ended the eternal war of gods, the grace of Pale Moon is the proof, what happened later even the omnipotent law stood idly by, what can you do as a human being?!"
Leal fell silent again.
Gray was even more angry, and stepped forward to lift Leal from the ground, "Cassindore is gone! You are in another world now! Do you know that the black beast is going to devour the godhead!"
"Black Beast..." Leal's eyes flashed brightly, but he was still confused, as if he couldn't distinguish between fiction and reality, "Felinnai...?"
"Everyone is selfish, but is it wrong to expect yourself to survive! Get up! Don't let Ka Xin
Betula is responsible for answering the tavern owner's question: "In theory, yes. The godhead born from the core of the planet belongs to the highest core of power in the existence we know, and one of the characteristics of the black beast is that it can swallow other powers. Strengthen yourself, it is already very powerful now, if you eat the godhead with root power, then there will be nothing on this planet that can compete with it-relatively, if it is too strong, it will be difficult to maintain its shape, almost [-]% There is a high chance that he will lose his mind, return to the original attitude of the master of chaos, and continue to devour everything around him irrationally until everything is brought into darkness."
Hovers, who got the answer, trembled under Betula's calm statement, and asked in horror: "Then why would he do this? What good would it do him?" Eat everything, wouldn't it be Are you left alone?
"The black beast is not a living creature in nature. It is extremely unlikely that it can evolve rational thinking. It should only have the instinct of devouring." Jaeger's thoughts are very pessimistic, after all, he is the one who witnessed a certain The one who devoured the gods because of being awakened by a black beast. "Maybe it's a whim, maybe there are reasons we don't know. The only different aspect of the black beast today may be that it has a little bit of humanity that suppresses its bestiality. This is the change brought about by Leal."
The abyss technician glanced at Ferris with complicated eyes. If the man in the black suit didn't mention that he was the Shadow of the Black Beast, everyone would treat him as an ordinary human being. This situation is unprecedented.
"The problem now is that Leal was imprisoned in the black mist by the black beast... That guy never mentioned what happened between him and the black beast. He really doesn't fit in. So I don't know if they have enmity or—"
"Ferlinai... the Black Beast regards Leal as his only true love." Although it was impolite, Ferris chose to intervene, but it was very awkward to say this sentence from his mouth in a rigid manner.
"Do people and monsters fall in love?" Hovers asked the question and saw that everyone was looking at him. After realizing that he said something wrong, he said in a low voice, "I didn't mean that, I'm sorry." Then he shut up immediately.
Betura on one side wrote something on his tablet.
Gray noticed him and asked, "What are you writing?"
Betula replied truthfully: "I am thinking about love. If someone mentions this word, I will write it down, because Jaeger..."
"Cough, cough, cough!! Serious topic, serious topic! Let's continue!" The abyss technician almost coughed his throat, and said with a blushing face: "The other party is an invincible disaster. Pessimistically speaking, now that the barriers disappear, the angels are destroyed. Elimination, the powerful demons are either dead or injured or huddled at home, the world has its own mess, and we go head-to-head to fight it is like delivering food. The only thing we can do is to try to release Leal from the black mist and let him stop the black beast .”
"Only one person, to stop that?" Hovers pointed at the black mark on Hell with trembling fingers.
Gray said to Hovers: "He's no ordinary man, he's Pale Moon."
"It's what you've been looking for...!" The short and fat man widened his eyes, and seeing the calm expressions of the other people around him, he said excitedly as if he had suddenly regained hope: "Great! If it's Gray The one who has divine power in his mouth will definitely be able to...!"
"Use Leal and continue to hurt him, Black Death, don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you like cats!"
A series of meows interjected into everyone's conversation. Only Ferris understood the meaning of the cat's meow, but before he could translate, Gray had already sensed the danger and nimbly dodged the sharp claws of the white-clawed black cat that sprang out from the shadows. .
All eyes were on Mr. Lulu who couldn't hit the ground lightly.
"There are cats! Cats!" Hovers, who had heard the horror stories about hellcats, was about to pass out.The obese body leaned against the door and kicked down the screaming vase at the door—Jegger's habit of placing such a curious thing at the door of his working place should really be changed.
The scene was once again very chaotic.
......
Everyone finally chose to move to the relatively spacious downstairs to continue discussing countermeasures.
Since no one could understand Mr. Lulu's cat language, Ferris thought of a way to use shadows to simulate sounds. He couldn't do the same thing before. It can be seen that after the series of actions of the black beast itself, the power of shadows is also considerable. land has grown.
"Leal is now under the protection of the black beast, and it is impossible for you to get close to him." Mr. Lulu licked his claws, "The crown of the king of hell already belongs to Leal, and the black beast devours the godhead just to eliminate this evil spirit." The aftermath of the shadow transformation, isn't this not good? Finally, a rational black beast appeared."
"Let everyone believe that he can maintain his sanity after devouring the godhead?!" Jaeger questioned loudly.
The Abyss Technician, who has not received any news from the Black Crystal Palace, no longer cares about the issue of power ring aggregation. He has already speculated that the barrier disappeared, but he was deeply surprised that the Black Beast would hand over the crown to Leal.
The black beast purposely disabled the defenses of hell, removing the last obstacle for the angel to perform the ritual, so that the godhead would appear so quickly, and then he took the opportunity to destroy the angel and occupy the godhead, which is almost the same thing.
Mr. Lulu didn't bother to talk much. It didn't come to explain the motive of the black beast's behavior. Instead, it said to Ferris: "This place is too close to the sea of void, even if it is pushed aside by the black mist, it is really dangerous. You should leave."
Ferris shook his head, "I won't go."
One person and one cat looked at each other, using other people as the background.
"Hey." Gray raised his chin and said to the white-clawed black cat, "How long does the black beast plan to keep Leal in prison."
Mr. Lulu didn't want to talk to him very much, and meowed, "Until there is nothing in this world that can threaten them anymore."
"It sounds like the black beast is very confident in its own protection. Leal doesn't know he's trapped, right?" Gray snorted coldly, "The real name of the star has the effect of traveling through time and space. If I call Leal, you Elaborate camouflage is useless."
The black cat glared at him, "Black Death, the Black Beast has always been very tolerant to you because you are Leal's compatriots in another world, I advise you not to make any progress—meow?!"
Gray picked up Mr. Lulu and shook it vigorously, "Come on, let's see if I pronounce his real name faster or the black beast kills me faster."
"Meow!!" Mr. Lulu was shaken into an afterimage, and he abused the cat meow!
"Wait, Gray, don't be impulsive." Ferris snatched the white-pawed black cat from Gray's hand, Mr. Lulu almost foamed at the mouth, and stretched out his paw tremblingly, "You, you wait for me... "
"Even if I am killed by the black beast, Leal can still hear the call to stop the black beast."
Gray stared at Ferris with complicated eyes. This is obviously a good way to open up the situation. Why did he stop it.
——He didn't want me to die just like that...?
Jaeger hurriedly echoed Ferris, "It's not that far, don't just say you want to sacrifice."
"Yes, yes, you still have to save your people, and there are still many unfinished things." Hovers continued, covering his heart.
"...Is this casual?" Gray showed a sullen look on his face, and he looked around everyone, except for Betula who had a dull expression, they were all looking at him with concern.
His wish is to let Leal help him ferry the souls of his people to the other side. As for his ending, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter...
Really?Even sacrifice here?
The voice in the bottom of my heart shouted loudly.
——The Black Death has sinned so deeply that it should not be cared for, and it cannot be forgiven even if it lends a helping hand.
"...I'm going out for a walk."
This made the blond fallen man very uncomfortable, he stepped back a few steps, avoided people's sight, opened the door and walked out.
But Gray had to speed up after taking a few steps. He never expected Ferris to be so lingering, following him all the time.Gray followed the flow of people into the deserted alley on the side of the tavern, turned around abruptly and pushed Ferris against the wall, and said sternly, "Don't follow me!"
Ferris slammed his back against the wall with a bang. Gray knew that he was used to hitting hard, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't hide at all. The fierce expression on his face disappeared instantly, and he was a little helpless.
"you……"
The blond fallen man didn't come out with "you". The shadow of the black beast, which has always been gentle in everyone's eyes, suddenly grabbed Gray's shoulder and threw him back against the opposite wall. Reese grabbed him by the collar.
Ferris snarled, "You want Lyall to save your people, but exclude yourself?! Shouldn't you be saved?! It is extremely irresponsible to give up your life so easily, even if they You won’t be happy even if you’re saved, don’t you want to see them smile and go to the other shore!”
"You can do more by living!"
Although the time to be a man is short, Ferris has tried his best to express the mood of "I'm very angry" to the fullest.
Gray froze in place, as if he had lost the ability to brew words.
The tip of Ferris' nose almost touched Gray's face, and they were so close that Gray could see his own stupid face through Ferris' dark eyes.
Ferris's voice was resounding, "I will not watch you die, do you hear me? Dying is not a hero, nor is it atonement. I believe that a better way will be found."
Then there was a long silence.
Ferris' unilateral confrontation seemed to stop time at this moment.
——It turns out that I still...
—It is possible to live for more than sin.
Gray pushed away the hand that was about to make him breathless, but grabbed Ferris' wrist with his backhand, grabbed the hair on the back of his head and gnawed on his lips.
"Where did you learn these great principles?" Gray recalled that it wasn't long before Ferris transformed from a chaotic shadow into a conscious entity, and his criticism of human nature was really profound.
Ferris was stunned by the unprepared kiss, his momentum lost a lot in an instant, and he didn't know where to put the hand that was pushed away, so he let out a muffled snort.
Gray laughed and said, "Weren't you still very proud just now?"
Ferris was completely dumbfounded.
"Then let me tell you a human secret, we regained hope very quickly." Gray grabbed Ferris's hand and kissed the back of his hand forcefully, then walked out of the alley.His face regained his fighting spirit.
"The shadows are under the surveillance of the black beast, right? Then I will keep silent."
"First, go to the port and have a look."

Gray www
I really want to sigh, the most clear one in this article is Gray ~ he is also a good player at playing hooligans (x
75. In hell, everyone also looks forward to the future
After Gray came to the pier in a hurry, although he saw rows of deserted berths, he also saw the Silver Knights marching against the wind, waiting in full force, and Theresia, the lord of hell, standing at the forefront.
According to the customs of Cassinola, silver is more noble than gold. The wizards of Emerald Academy regard silver as the highest magic rank, and Theresia's knights also use silver as their symbolic color.
Today, when all the gates of hell have been blown up and no one can escape from hell, there is a black mist that destroys heaven and earth in front of it, and there is a gap that penetrates the world with the appearance of a godhead behind. People are stationed here and become outposts.
Although it was possible to enter directly without any explanation, this time Gray went to the herald in an unprecedented manner, hoping to get a chance to talk to the monarch.
The speed of being approved was very fast. When the blond fallen man walked in front of Theresia, he realized that some knights had recognized his identity. The members of the knights here were not fledglings, but elites among the elite. have worked together.
But there was no commotion, and they backed away quietly, leaving room for the queen and the former captain to talk.
"You are the third person I met today." The queen in silver and white armor stood side by side with Gray, who was not her subordinate now.
"I guess there is a self-proclaimed abyss technician in the first two."
"Indeed. Jaeger Grant, the engineer of the abyss and the head of the Artisans of the Endless Sea, has already informed me of the true face of the black mist and the exact time of landing. This made me realize that my previous understanding was wrong, the black beast , The hell lord who once dormant in the dark forest is not a demon, but some kind of existence that is more mysterious than the evil god." Theresa said: "I was blinded by the illusory rumors and my own short-sightedness, thinking that it must be defeated enemy without knowing its nature is more like an elusive natural disaster.”
Theresa recalled the last meeting of the monarch, she did not face the darkness, but she also failed to discover the specialness of the other party.
"It's not something that mortals can see through, and the logic of its thinking and actions is beyond the predictability of humans. No one here thought that the black beast would cause such a storm." Gray knew that there were all the humans in hell behind Theresa, and she no matter what He couldn't retreat no matter what, but he still said: "Abandon Leuk City and move people as far as possible to the inland. I think you have done this right. But you should also go."
Therecia looked at Gray, "Ordinary hurricanes will show a weakening trend once they land on land. This is a force of nature, but the black beast is not. It will become stronger and stronger according to what it devours, or more extreme. After coming to Luke City, I chose to avoid the deserted cities, and directly swept through the shelters with a lot of people."
In the face of disasters, no matter humans or demons, all the residents of hell are helpless.
Gray: "...you want to use yourself as a bait to slow down the black beast."
"After all, I am the leader of humans who once fought against the forces of demons. The black beast may pay attention." Theresa smiled, "Let as many people as possible go to the Black Crystal Palace in the center of hell. I have sent a letter to Rafman, and he promised Do everything in your power to receive everyone."
Seeing the resolute look on Theresia's face, Gray suddenly wondered whether his actions in front of Ferris just now were the same, and he wanted to sacrifice himself for a better chance.
—It looks very annoying.No wonder he gets angry.
Seeing Gray's sullen face, Teresia knew that the other party understood what she meant, and continued: "Norin is missing, she is in my palace, I can't find her, maybe she has also been killed by an unknown existence. My knights and I will fight to the last moment to protect mankind, and will not be slaughtered, no matter what we face."
None of the guarding knights moved, and Gray knew they were thinking the same as their lord.
There is no need to go to this point.
Gray held back his anger, and said to Theresa: "If you still want to believe me, get out of here. My method saves everyone from having to sacrifice."
……
After Gray left the pier, all the residents of Roke City had almost left.This time, he could easily find the angel floating high in an empty city. It was facing the direction of the pier, possibly watching Theresia who was withdrawing the knights.
"How did you do it?" The only remaining angel in hell came to Gray. It thought that the Queen of Glory would give her life here so that all human beings could have a moment to breathe. Made her change her mind.Why did Therecia still trust the Black Death?It cannot understand.
Gray replied: "You can control it."
"..." The outline of the light showed no expression, but it was indeed choked for a while. "You didn't call me, don't you need my help?"
"You didn't say your name at all, suspicious angel."
"Anyway, I'm the only one in hell now, and the other angels have been swallowed by black beasts. So you can just call me an angel."
That is really simple and convenient.
Gray was still wary of the other party, not getting too close to it, and asked from a distance: "Godhead is occupied by Felinnai, your wish to prevent Theresia from becoming a god is probably fulfilled, give me the holy gun, don't Now tell me what you said is false."
"I do have the Holy Lance, it's not a lie. But I don't think the Holy Lance can inflict heavy damage on the current Black Beast. But don't get me wrong, Gray, it's not your credit that Theresa escaped from the fate of becoming a god." .I help you only for the future, after all, if the world is destroyed, there will be no future for everything.”
"Stop talking nonsense" was clearly written on Gray's face.
He took the light talisman of the holy gun from the angel, but because Gray is a fallen person, the process of engraving the mark on his hand really brought him a heart-rending pain.
He shook his hand to dispel the pain, and asked, "Why did the angel keep a holy spear but not use it when the black beast was not so strong? As long as you look for a chance, the chance of success is quite high, isn't it?"
"The heavens used all the remaining holy guns in the last war, but they failed to kill the black beast. When the black beast was dormant in the dark forest, we made an agreement with the witch in the resting place not to touch it. After Leal woke up, although this man On the surface, he is doing his own thing, but in fact he is strictly guarding against other holy guns that may exist, and has not let down his vigilance for a moment. But the most important reason is not these—”
"It's because other angels don't know the existence of this holy gun that I own. I got it from other places."
Gray thought that the angel could omit the first sentence and only mention the last sentence, but he still said so much, I really owe him a slap.
The angel said to Gray: "I have one more condition. Norin was killed by the black beast, but don't tell Theresa about it."
"Even if she doesn't say it now, she will know one day."
The angel patted his wings, "If you succeed, then there will be no 'someday'."
……
On the way back to the Hovers Tavern, Gray double-checked the light symbol in his hand, and glanced at the shadows on both sides of the building.
——I haven't been killed yet, the black beast is really not afraid of the Holy Lance anymore.
Gray snorted in his heart, or maybe the black beast didn't bother to pay attention to the dying struggle of these ants.
Ferris came quietly to Gray, took his wrist, and frowned at the mark on his palm.
"Does it hurt?"
"What is this? It's okay, don't pay attention to it at this time." Gray withdrew his hand, "Are you ready?"
"Hmm." Although Gray had promised him not to mess around, Ferris was still worried, but he couldn't ask in detail - the black beast might know their plan through Ferris.
Gray pressed Ferris' shoulder, "You just have to remember to trust me and do what I say when the time comes."
Ferris responded slightly, "Okay."
Jaeger put down the binoculars in his hand, sat on the roof and ate a sandwich. He originally wanted to observe the black fog on the roof, but when he accidentally saw Gray and Ferris on the street, he thought to himself that he didn't do it on purpose .
Betura next to Jaeger was also watching.
"It's nice to be young," exclaimed Jaeger, who had already classified them as being in a relationship.
"Even if they are guilty, there are still people who are willing to believe in the Black Death." The silver-haired devil was still holding a tablet, writing and drawing on it.He suddenly thought, "Should we call everyone here?"
"Well. Half and half of them are demons. I have never had the opportunity to bring them to the territory of the fallen before. Now hell can't be so clearly distinguished."
The reason why the Artisans of the Endless Sea have been wandering is not that the abyss technicians think too highly of themselves. In the past, they brought so many demons to stay in the same place for too long. No matter whether they are in the human territory or the demon territory, there will be various problems over time. .
So if hell has a new future across this crisis, can this change.
"Most people don't know that the black mist on the sea can really destroy hell. They think that as long as they flee inland, they will be fine."
"Isn't that great? Why do you have to know when the end of the world will be?" Jaeger smiled wryly. "It's not good to know too much."
"Then, as the book says, live each day as if it were your last. (Note 1)"
"It makes sense, but people will only realize it when their lives are about to end." Jaeger finished eating the food in his hands safely, patted the crumbs on his hands, and said, "And it's not the end yet, Gray said yes Method."
"Do you want to believe in the Black Death?"
"Betura, everyone is actually crazy inside, including but not limited to completely trusting a person he has known for a few days. But in fact, what he really trusts is his own judgment." Abyssal Technician smiled helplessly, "After all, human beings It's a very selfish creature."
After finishing speaking, he shouted to Gray below: "Hey! What's the countermeasure!"
Gray looked up, smiled and said, "Now, do nothing."
At this time, Duysen also wobbled from the other side of the long street and came to Hovers's tavern. He was so busy that he was about to ask the boss for something to eat. "Okay!" Hovers' angry voice came from the tavern.
The Ressa has already installed the latest protection with Theresia's blessing, and the abyss technician has also installed the magic equipment. He is waiting to take this strange but trusted man to sea.
Gray nodded to Duysen and said, "Wait for the last moment."
Waiting for the time when the shell of the godhead is shattered and the black beast concentrates its strength and has no time to care about him.
=======
Note 1: This sentence comes from the ancient Roman philosopher (and he is also the emperor of the Roman Empire) Marc Aurelius Anthony Augustus "Meditations": "The perfection of morality consists in treating each day as Live it as the last day of your life."
76. In hell, take this place as your home
The fully armed Ressa was riding the wind and waves wantonly in the sea, which made Duysen really addicted. He almost forgot about giving it away. The mission of conquering the ocean seemed to be engraved in his blood, which made this strange boy excited .
The wind and air here reminded him of the blue dream he had when he was dying, the heart embedded in his chest was beating vigorously, as if Reza was beside him.
He will go back, to the Isle of Tears, but with hope.
Gray was recuperating in the cabin with his eyes closed, and the other crew members of the Ressa were not with him. It seemed that their captain was alone on this life-or-death voyage.Before leaving, Jaeger urgently worked on a lot of auxiliary parts for the Ressa, which guaranteed the voyage with only two people.
"I heard from Jaeger that the captain of the Resa hates the Black Death very much." Gray seemed to have fully adapted to speaking to his own shadow.
Ferris in the shadow answered him softly: "I believe there is no hatred that cannot be eliminated."
"This is two different things. You are not familiar with human beings." Gray didn't want to answer at first. "The situation is forcing me. I have no position to tell him now. Let's talk about it later."
Drop drop-! !
There was a mechanical sound alarm on the deck, and the Ressa, which was moving at full speed, finally started its possibly final mission.
Gray: "We're going into the black mist."
"Go directly into the black mist? That's chaotic..." Ferris didn't know Gray's plan, but the black mist on the sea was part of the power of the black beast, and it contained a strong power of chaos. Should the ship be allowed to enter like this.
"Only take a walk in the extreme periphery." Gray heard a series of mechanical sounds of various frequencies, "But the danger is that the captain who steers on the deck will see the darkness outside, and those who look directly at the chaos will go mad. According to the news from Thearesia, most of the slave ships that collided with the black mist when it first appeared had disasters due to this reason.”
"So the captain has temporarily blocked his eyesight, relying on Mr. Abyss Technician's instrument to identify the direction?"
Gray nodded, "According to Jaeger Grant's measurement, the destructive power of the black mist around the periphery is not that strong, because it still has to contend with the turbulent flow of magic power in the Void Sea, but it is like a vacuum area where power is contested." Gray clasped his hands tightly. The support in the cabin, the unfixed sundries are rolling around in the cabin, and the bumps of the Resa can now make people spit out their internal organs.
After hearing the long bell from the deck for the third time, Gray grabbed the handle and kicked open the hatch.
"gone!"
The shadow where Ferris was was followed.
The phantom armor resonated crisply on Gray's wrist. The weight of the full body armor allowed Gray to walk on the wind and waves as if walking on flat ground. When he stepped on the deck, the Resa had entered the critical point marked by Jaeger on the map. zone, and the darkness mercilessly crushes all that is visible.
Gray ran with all his strength on the deck, stepped onto the bowsprit with the last step, and jumped towards the black mist.
"Go home! Go!" Gray yelled at Duysen and then jumped into the darkness.
Captain Yimo saw the man's black armor in the dark vision that was about to be released.
"..." But he didn't say anything, and immediately turned the bow of the boat and rushed out of the black mist.
As Gray plunged into the darkness, he called to Ferris, "Catch me!"
Immediately afterwards, the blond fallen man fell into a darkness that was not black mist but the same source.
"Take me... as deep as you can, there is a... island with... a silver-white sandy beach..." Being in the dark is different from observing the darkness, and getting into it doesn't mean closing your eyes can prevent you from being eroded. Gray felt his bone marrow freeze in an instant The bone-chilling coldness, and the tremendous pressure that seems to be unable to recognize myself.
He was taken into the shadows by Ferris after he was pierced unconscious by the angel's spear of light. He couldn't recall how he felt at that time, but the terrifying situation now was real.
——In this abyss, there are actually people who can freely shuttle here.
Gray's teeth chattered from the cold, but he also knew that he was not really cold, but a resistance from his body that refused to go deep into the darkness.His consciousness was torn apart, and his soul was trembling. He wanted to grit his teeth and survive the initial discomfort, hoping to adapt to them, but unfortunately, the surging darkness was not something that could be numb with bleeding and pain over time.It will only bring ruthless rejection, frantically crushing will and spirit.
Gray's brain desperately sent out signals to find his limbs, and finally got a response from his body. He squeezed his left hand tightly, and his nails touched the light symbol on the palm.
——It's not the time yet, you must use the Holy Lance after seeing the island.
Gray mobilized all his strength to walk through the darkness. In a world without light, every step was extremely difficult. He was rejected by the darkness, and his soul trembled every time the shadow touched him. He walked twenty steps, maybe ten steps , I have exhausted my strength.
Leal's real name is on his lips, and he can still feel his mouth and tongue. As long as he reads his real name, his mission is completed. He doesn't need to care about his own life and death, and let the rest of the matter and the aftermath be done. The living do it.
No.This is not right.
Gray's dark vision reflected Ferris' figure, he found his voice, and said intermittently in the dark world: "Ferris...s...grab...my hand..."
A different kind of darkness than ravaged him wrapped Gray's palm.
Gray actually felt a little warm. Although he knew it was an illusion, it brought him some peace of mind.Then he completely handed himself over to the other party, letting this distinctive black pull him, and move forward in the chaos of no direction.
Gray saw the black island.
It was no surprise to see a pitch-black behemoth.
The beast claws swung mercilessly, Gray's phantom armor could only resist one attack, and the bracelet showed tiny cracks.The blond fallen man was thrown flying, and could no longer avoid the merciless second blow.
Just when Gray was about to cast the Holy Lance, the shadow that had been attached to him like a safety rope said softly, "Go, finish what you should do."
Gray was hurled toward the island by a force, and a shadowy human figure leaped at the behemoth.
"Ferris!"
"What are you doing?" The voice from the Black Beast overwhelmed Gray's shout, "Get out."
The black figure said slowly: "I originally wanted to say that I was doing the right thing, but that's not the case."
The Shadow of the Black Beast knew that he could not be Felinnay's opponent, but he still opened the screen and tried his best to push the Black Beast body out of the core of the island.
Gray found a faint light on the island. It was a magic book with gems on the cover. It was floating above a deep darkness, using gems to illuminate the eroding shadows around it.
That's it.
Gray opened his palm, and while releasing the Holy Lance, he also heard what Ferris was saying. "It has nothing to do with being right or wrong, even if it's all meaningless - I will never leave him."
——No matter what I am facing, I will not leave, there is someone I love here.
[I will never leave you. 】
The pitch-black behemoth Felinnai turned into hesitated for a moment.
The holy spear landed on the island, not to attack the black beast itself, but to disperse the shadows around Leal.
In an instant, the sound of waves and rocks collapsing reached his ears, and Gray finally stepped on the long-lost solid ground.
Leal lay on the sand with his eyes closed.
Gray rushed over against the clock, "You give me—wake up!"
But even if the shadow was removed, the call had no effect, and Leal remained motionless.
This was an unexpected situation. When Gray was thinking about countermeasures quickly, he heard Yisha's voice like a hallucination.
"Brother, come here."
Then Gray suddenly lost consciousness.
Felinnai sensed the slightest cracks in the shell of the godhead in the Jukou cave, and the chaos finally eroded the protection completely, and he was only one step away from devouring the godhead.
Did they count the time to come?
The black beast turned back to look at Leal on the beach, but the other party showed no sign of waking up, and the ant that rushed in suddenly passed out for some reason.They couldn't wake Lyal.
Felinnay no longer wrestled with the shadow, he threw Ferris aside and stepped into the shadow to go to the cave of the giant mouth.
……
"here it is……"
Gray's sudden loss of consciousness was not caused by lack of physical strength, but that his soul was pulled by an unknown force——
"It's the depths of Leal's soul. The fantasy space built by his will. Because his soul is tattered now, it's easy for someone to guide him in." The girl in sacrificial robe came behind Gray and pointed Looking at the temple on the top of the mountain, "You should recognize it there, brother."
"Ysha, you..." The place the other party pointed to was the temple of all the gods in Kasindur, where Yisha had guarded the staff until he died.
Before Gray asked the question, the girl said first: "My soul has always existed in my brother's phantom armor, but when you were in contact with Lord God King, I sneaked to Lord God King."
Yisha dragged his brother by the corner of his clothes and walked up the stairs leading to the temple, explaining the situation as briefly as possible, "I tried to repair his soul, but the incomplete parts still need his original soul fragments to fill. The King of God fell into confusion because Yusiah disturbed his memory, and his consciousness returned to this fictional space. I wanted to wake him up internally, but he regarded me as a fictional person instead of a real creation Fortunately, brother, you are here, the black beast is about to devour the godhead, and we don't have much time."
Gray ignored the fact that Yisha was able to talk to him so vividly in the state of his soul, but he was still shocked, "Why do you know this, even about Cassinola?"
Yisha blinked mischievously, "In my brother's eyes, I'm still that naughty little girl, but the person who guards Kasyndur's scepter will definitely not be an ordinary priest. My identity is the same as that of the Witch in Resting Place .”
Seeing that Gray was still incomprehensible, the girl sighed and said solemnly to him: "Brother, you just need to remember that everyone including me is dead, but you are still 'alive', I will not hesitate to violate the commandments Let you know in advance that Kasindor's destruction was not just due to your own selfishness." Yisha finished speaking in one breath, and pushed Gray down the stairs, "It's up to you!"
Gray didn't have time to think about whether his soul would fall to his death. After he fell, his center of gravity rose strangely, and he went directly to the temple that should have been on the mountain above his head in a top-heavy manner.This place is indeed fictitious, and the rules are so strange.
The platinum-golden temple was empty, and Leal did not sit on the jade seat, but sat on the ground on the edge of the precarious steps connecting the cliff, looking out of the temple like a beautifully carved crystal sculpture.
"How long are you going to stay here?"
Gray walked over and stood behind Lyal, almost stepping on the trailing tail of his heavy robe.
Leal turned a deaf ear, and stared into the distance with his eyes containing the sea of stars without blinking.In the broken temple, his eyes were calm and flat, and his pale face made Gray observe a bit of divinity and coldness.
Is this how Leal, who is the king of Kasindur, who became the king of gods as a human being and did not accept any godhood, spent his last days in this high temple.
Following Leal's quiet eyes, Gray, who had not personally experienced the end of Kasyndur, was shocked by what he saw.
The earth is dark, the sky is white, the sun is gone, the stars are dim, and the pale moon hangs high in the sky.The sudden avalanche of mountain peaks here and there caused shocking noises and dust from falling rocks, lakes and seawater competed to dry up, and fires ignited among the cities, dyeing the snow-white sky with strange colors.
As for the life on the earth, it cannot be seen here.From here, there is no sign of any life.
However, Pale Moon is still rotating souls, and the lonely god king who drives away all the gods keeps driving his own power, looking for living beings that may still exist, and guarding them into the root.
In the end, even the root does not accept the soul, the cycle stops completely, and the fire of the world is extinguished.
Couldn't save.So much has been sacrificed, but there is still no happy ending.
Even if someone offered a prayer to him, he couldn't hear it.
Gray closed his eyes, expelling the final scene from his mind.He said to Leal, "Hey, don't watch it. Is it fun to reminisce about the pain over and over again, you have more important things now."
After a long time, Leal exhaled slowly, "I have already failed once."
Gray was furious, "You ended the eternal war of gods, the grace of Pale Moon is the proof, what happened later even the omnipotent law stood idly by, what can you do as a human being?!"
Leal fell silent again.
Gray was even more angry, and stepped forward to lift Leal from the ground, "Cassindore is gone! You are in another world now! Do you know that the black beast is going to devour the godhead!"
"Black Beast..." Leal's eyes flashed brightly, but he was still confused, as if he couldn't distinguish between fiction and reality, "Felinnai...?"
"Everyone is selfish, but is it wrong to expect yourself to survive! Get up! Don't let Ka Xin
