boy and bone

The flat sandy soil stretches as far as the eye can see, and Master Sheng Pao transformed into countless phantoms, besieging a person in it.

The mage in the gold-rimmed blue robe had a dignified face, and the snake-headed staff in his hand shot dazzling lightning, including his phantom, which also accumulated lightning and burst out at the people trapped in the center at the same time.Even if the mage hit the target, the mage didn't dare to be careless. In an instant, thousands of light arrows were fired, and thunder, frost, residual fire, and almost all destructive large-scale magics all overturned towards the man in the middle. Suddenly billowing yellow smoke billowed and the ground shook. There are several deep ravines.

Behind a wide French hanging window in the castle in the distance stood a man holding a white porcelain teacup, watching the farce outside the window calmly.

The yellow smoke dissipated, but the man in the center of the formation was completely unscathed. Under the overwhelming magic power, there was someone who was calm and composed, as if he had just been hit by a strong wind, and only a little wind and sand had caught his eyes: "It's over?"

The mage was trembling, and in his suddenly constricted pupils, the figure of the man seemed to transform into an invincible and undead devil crawling out of an unknown hell.

"It's up to me." Grai pulled out the sword he had stuck in the soil for a long time, shook the dust on it, and under the horror of the mage, he suddenly approached him. The stick frequently parried sudden and sharp attacks, but the movement was like flying, and the afterimages of the sword rising and falling were hazy, without any magical rhythm, and speed and strength alone could overwhelm everything.

With the last strike, the snake's head was broken in half and pierced through the chest, so quickly that the dying person could not feel any pain.

"Monster..." That's the end of the last words.

Grai drew his sword to shake off all the blood on it, and raised his hand to the lonely and noble man on the castle in the distance, telling him to stop watching the theater and clean up the battlefield.

Standing in front of the window, Kuris took a sip of black tea with a smile, snapped his fingers, and tall trees rose from the sandy soil under the castle, covering up the remaining mana of the huge magic just now.

After a while, the high arched door was pushed open, and Grai walked into the hall.

Curris put down the teacup, and stepped forward to remove the soft armor for someone.Gray finally took off the pile of copper and iron that was pressing on his breath, and he was really relieved: "I don't want to wear these, no one can hurt me."

"No." Curris decisively cut off his thoughts.

Gray muffled the rebuttal opinion in his heart.The person in front of him is over half a century old, his short copper-colored hair is mixed with dull gray silver, the deep and shallow smile lines around his mouth still have a gentle temperament, and the slightly drooping corners of his eyes hold back the brilliance that leaked from his youth , After the experience of time, that brilliance has already brewed into an unfathomable cold light.

Gray felt the same for himself, he was getting old.

Indeed, in Curis's eyes, Gray no longer exudes the radiance he had when he was young, but the look in his eyes is still enough to make his heart tremble and capture his soul.

"You came just in time, I decided to start our experiment later." Kuris said with great interest.

"Today?" Gray picked up the pastry on the round table and stuffed it into his mouth. He had spent too much energy dealing with that foolish man who sent him to death just now.

Grai shook his head resolutely while eating the custard-flavored custard cake: "It's been less than eight days since your last fusion experiment, and your body can't stand it."

"I've recovered." Kuris spread his arms and asked Gray to check: "This is the curse. I only fused one-tenth of it to have such an effect, so my prediction is correct."

Gray was still shaking his head.

Curris said: "Other people will have the same idea as you. They must think that I am still sitting in Valley River Fort and will not be fused with the curse in the near future, so they dare not come rashly. This is a good time. Wait for them When I come again, I have gone one step further, and then I will inflict a severe punishment on the flies that bother me, and stop their buzzing altogether."

Seeing that he used 'flies' as a metaphor for the group of idiots who were against Curris, Gray laughed and said, "I heard that they named themselves the Advance Crusade Army. My God, this is what Shikeng Lang thought of them. name?"

Curris said, "You seem to appreciate them." Gray never talks about people who don't care. Since these so-called brave warriors came out to challenge his bottom line, Gray has always intentionally Not intending to advance in front of him, which is one of the reasons that upset Curris.

"I admire their face and brains. A group of brats dare to call themselves brave and the light of salvation." Gray mocked: "I think their brains are only the size of walnuts."

The corner of Curris's mouth rose slightly: "Okay, when their heads are in my hands, I will dig out their brains to verify Gray's conjecture."

When Gray heard this, his scalp tightened suddenly: "I'll just say it casually, after they die, it's fine to hang up on the city tower as a warning."

Curris' complexion sank, but he returned to normal after only one sank. Anyway, he will have plenty of opportunities to torture them all.

Gray hastily swallowed a mouthful of dry pastry, trying to divert Curris's suddenly dark conversation: "How much of your curse is done?"

"I expect to integrate half of the Abyss of Curse. After the previous few absorptions, my body is gradually adapting. I believe that it won't take long for me to absorb nearly [-]% of the Abyss of Curse."

"What about the remaining [-]%?" Gray asked, "When you first discovered the Abyss of Cursing, didn't you intend to integrate it all into your body?"

"I had planned this, but..." Curris said: "After all, I am a mortal body, and my body has a limit to what I can bear. Ninety percent of the amount of curses in the Abyss of Curses is already quite a challenge for me within the estimated range , beyond the expected range, my body can easily fall apart as a container, and I don’t intend to accept the remaining [-]%.”

Upon hearing 'falling apart', Gray nodded frequently: "Yes yes yes, don't accept it."

Seeing that the other party was seriously protecting himself, Curris smiled and said: "Actually, the most important point is that I am not capable enough. If I can touch the core of the cursed abyss and rely on my consciousness and soul, I think It's not difficult for me to control it. And I don't have to work so hard to slowly absorb the magic of the cursed abyss from the outside as I do now. As long as I control the core, I can control other curses, not just the cursed abyss, but all the curses. , all... But so far I still can't touch the source of the abyss, sometimes I can feel it, it is around me, this is the same kind of induction between the curses, the curse in my body senses it, but can never catch it To live in its tracks, as if something invisible stood between us, almost forever..."

As he said that, a black cursed flame ignited in the palm of Curis's hand. He stared at it for a while, and then retracted his palm after a while.

Gray saw the cursed flame rise up in Kuris' hands, and Kuris stared at it persistently. For no reason, Gray was unfamiliar with magic and the world for the first time, and he suddenly asked: "What if... …I mean, if there were no curses and no magic in this world, would you still want to be a unparalleled person who pursues limits but is regarded as a lunatic by the world? Or an ordinary person who is simple, happy, and serious about life. "

Curris understood what he meant, and he looked at Gray quietly: "Which one do you want me to choose?"

Gray didn't know either. He didn't have that kind of imagination. He shook his head and said, "No matter which one you choose, I will accompany you."

Curris knew that this would be the answer. He was not surprised, but he was still moved: "If there is no curse, no magic, no lunatics, no ordinary people in a world, but as long as there is you, I will go happily."

Gray's eyes drifted away, and he said regretfully, "Did someone tell you that the older you get, the more nasty you are?"

"I think this is the demeanor that a mature man should have."

"Hurry up and go with your curse demeanor, I'm going to rest. As long as you're here, those gangsters won't stop." Gray urged.

"When this is over, can I make up for all the unfinished honeymoons we had before?" Curris said.

"Then you need to make up 1000 years." Gray said, "Go on a date with your damn charm and curse."

"Wait for me." The teleportation circle glowing with black and purple light under Kuris' feet has gradually been completed, and Kuris's figure has been submerged into the teleportation circle from bottom to top like black dust.Kurlis discovered the location of the cursed abyss a few years ago, and he built a castle on it to facilitate his nearby experiments. This is the one in the depths of Grai.

After Curris left, Gray was a little sleepy.He sat on the golden reception chair in front of the window of the new hall, closed his eyes and planned to take a nap.I have to admit that he does not have the vitality of his youth, and he will be tired after a little warm-up. If he can, he even wants to sleep until Curris comes back and then wake up.

Consciousness gradually sank, but unexpectedly a shock woke him up.

Gray opened his eyes suddenly, and he looked around outside the window. Someone had broken through the barrier set by Curris.Because the hiding place of the Cursed Abyss is secret, the castle built on it and within a radius of five kilometers are covered under Kuris' hidden barrier, and the scenery inside the barrier changes a lot, just to hide his appearance and prevent others from tampering with it. Even if you escape from the barrier by chance, you will not be able to find the way back here because of the changed scenery.

I'm afraid that the sorcerer sent out his location just before he died, so the next wave of invaders could track them down so quickly.The barrier had already been breached. If only the outermost barrier had been breached, it would not have caused such a big commotion. The shock was so violent, it should be because someone had broken through three layers of barriers and entered the fort.

Gray was suddenly alert. He was about to go to meet the enemy, but when he turned around, he found that the traces of the teleportation array under his feet had not disappeared.

If the teleportation array is destroyed, Kuris will not be able to escape in time if something strange happens under the castle, and he may be forever trapped in the cursed abyss.This teleportation array is the only channel connecting the ground and the underground abyss.

Without hesitation, Grai embedded the never-leaving Spiritual Blade into the cracks in the magic stone floor tiles in the hall, protecting it in front of the teleportation array, and said to the Spiritual Blade that stood silently like an old friend: "Keep him."

At this point, Gray turned and left and never returned.

……

After three days and two nights, Gray was exhausted, without a tacit weapon in his hand, he could hardly defeat the siege of six people.In addition, his weakness has long been understood by this group of people, and they have created weapons specially used to deal with him. Grai, who no longer has the talent of being invulnerable like a demon god, is bloody like an ordinary soldier.

After all, those six people are serious troubles.

He watched them stepping over his failed body and walking towards the new hall, and he suddenly regretted not listening to Curris's words and putting on the heavy armor.

The six warriors pushed open the rumored palace gate of the devil's lair, and the scent of black tea and butter in the palace smoked the noses of the trespassers. This place is not like the legendary torture hell, but filled with a kind of warmth that can be seen at home. meaning.

A lone silver sword stands in the center of the temple.

"This sword..."

"Grey's. Why did he forget it here?" the blue-haired youth asked.

"Take it away... I will be buried with the lackey of the demon king who died outside later." Another young man bravely stepped forward and was about to reach for the silver sword.

Suddenly, the hilt of the silver sword fused into a pool of silver liquid after touching the strange breath.Amidst everyone's astonishment, the pool of silvery liquid suddenly swelled and gathered, and the water flow criss-crossed into the air. Within half a sound, the original sharp sword suddenly turned into a strong silver dragon breaking through the palace dome.It roared up to the sky and was deafening, and its silver bone wings stretched out like a curtain covering the sky, so majestic, such a magnificent body stood in the entire palace.

When they were stunned, the six trespassers were swept away from the castle by the wind blown by the silver dragon's bone wing fan.

Seeing this scene, the dying Grai closed his eyes with a funny smile.

In the ear, Gray heard a bunch of gossip vaguely again, and it was really appropriate for Culis to call them 'flies'.

"He didn't die?!"

"What do you think, he is a capable general of the Demon King's subordinates, possessing vitality that is incomparable to ordinary people."

"The Demon King is not in Guhe Castle, and all his foreign aid is far away in Cosmoto. Our trip is to explore the reality of Guhe Fort. Now the investigation is almost done. Just go back and report the situation. Don't do anything redundant."

"...What do you mean, we defeated him, this is our trophy! Who would have thought that he could be caught by us so easily..."

"I'm going to take him back. I painstakingly researched and made this dagger made of waste white pigment, just to let him die in front of me one day, so as to comfort the hatred of my dead brother."

"Your brother was killed by the Demon King, and has nothing to do with Grai."

"Then I will take him back even more. I will let the Demon King watch. I will personally use this dagger to skin his beloved general, just like he did to my brother and me."

"Then what's the difference between us and the Demon King?"

"Sooner or later, you will become a traitor among us, Kiranji."

"Kimanji, it's better for us to take him away than to let him wait here to die. We can heal him. After he recovers, he can become a bargaining chip for us to exchange with the devil."

"Ok."

However, the only voice of persuasion was behind Gui Ranzhi's back, and he secretly discussed with the other warriors: "Sooner or later, Gui Ranzhi will do something bad, so return to the camp and immediately execute Grai."

"Aren't you going to use him as a bargaining chip?"

"The devil king is cunning and changeable, how could he care about a captive."

"During the execution, what if Ki Ranji obstructs you?"

"That's where he can't find it."

At night, the bonfire at the celebration dinner went straight into the sky with the last scream of pain, and a dilapidated and empty black shadow appeared in the blazing flames.

When Kiranji arrived, the bonfire was still flourishing, but he couldn't feel any temperature when he approached the bonfire.

"You lied to me! I opened the barrier of the magic palace for you, and you lied to me!" The blue eyes that were originally calm were filled with the anger of being deceived.

Suvin Monroe, who heard that he had broken into a castle of the Demon King ahead and captured a Demon General, also hurried over, but when he saw the blurred figure in the fire, he was stunned: "No, no It should, no..."

Gray, Gray is a long-lived person. He is the one who will live to save himself after 200 years. He cannot die here.

Su Wen once thought that Gray would get some kind of secret technique that can rejuvenate people and keep them alive forever, so that they would meet after 200 years. He always believed that Gray would live forever. He never thought that His life would end here early.

"There must be salvation..." Su Wen rushed into the fire, the strange thing was that he didn't feel the flames burning on his body, those blazing flames seemed to be unable to penetrate his skin.

Su Wen probed with the palm of his hand, and found that the flames were all composed of Bai Su.In addition to the sixteen basic magic elements, there is another element in the world. Because it can neither interact with any element nor has magical properties, it only exists in some low-end crops, such as vegetables, grass, and animal fur. Above, it is called white element, also known as waste element, it is a kind of element with no magical value, if it gathers in a large amount on the magic equipment, it will reduce the purity of the magic equipment, so it has long been used by people Elements that are discarded and have no research value cannot even be ranked among the elements that form the foundation of the world.

But its incompatibility with magic is exactly the same as Grai's physique with stone wall disease.

The white element will be a painless existence when it meets any normal person, just like the magical element meets Grai.

And this is precisely the most fatal injury to Gray.

Thinking of this, Su Wen seemed to feel that he was in the flames and was covered with poisonous fire. He endured the pain that was about to burst out of his throat, and rushed to the narrow interior that was vacated by the bonfire. A man tied to a cross The corpses on the rack were completely burned.

When Su Wen stretched out his hand to untie the rope that was not affected by the flame of the white element, the corpse suddenly loosened into shattered carbon blocks, and fell into the gaps between the firewood under the feet, and was never found again.

Inside Guhe Fort, the teleportation array of the new hall once again flowed with black and purple light. Kuris was wrapped in a thin robe and stood on the array. Opening his eyes, feeling the movement in the teleportation array, the sleepy silver dragon opened his eyes, and lowered his silver head in front of Kuris. Kuris saw the huge monster at first sight, and his doubts suddenly arose. Only then did he realize that the palace that was intact before he left was in a mess, and Grai was nowhere to be seen.

Only the Broken Spirit Blade, which turned into a giant dragon, guarded the castle, which should be Grai's instruction.Curris raised his hand and stroked between the silver dragon's broad nose wings. As soon as he touched the silver dragon's outer scales, the giant dragon immediately returned to its original appearance, and turned into a sharp sword again in Kuris' hands.He was inexplicably disturbed by the abnormal situation in front of him. He closed his eyes and sensed that his barrier was damaged in many places, and Grai's breath was not within the barrier.

Curris' gaze suddenly turned cold, and his sinking gaze happened to fall on his left arm. He suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly rolled up his sleeve robe. The tattoo on his arm that symbolized the marriage contract had disappeared.

Curris was stunned, he couldn't believe it, he couldn't believe it, he didn't want to believe it...

He won't give up until he sees it with his own eyes, he forces himself to calm down.Kuris squatted down and stroked the ground with his palms: "[Retracing]" A round talisman array suddenly appeared.

The scenes in front of his eyes and around him were all back to the time he wanted to see. The palace was restored to its original appearance, and the shadow representing Grai was sleeping peacefully in the chair. Suddenly Grai was awakened. left the palace...

Curris withdrew his hand, and the scene in front of him changed back to reality. He followed the route left by Gray's shadow in [Retracing], and walked under the castle step by step.

"[Revisiting]" The phantom of the past reappeared, and this time Grai fell into a pool of blood and was taken away.

Curris's expression was unusually calm, and he silently clenched his palms.

"[Retracing]"

"[Retracing]"

"[Retracing]"

Step by step, he finally reached the camp that was stationed outside his castle. The real camp has been withdrawn, and now it is just a piece of grass, leaving only the "joy" burning that Kuris had seen in the reminiscence The bonfires still stand in charred twigs.

Why did the ghost that guided Gray come here... For the first time, for the first time in his life, Kuris felt fear.

His trembling hands caressed the towering and terrifying bonfire: "...【Revisiting】"

Kuris's gray pupils trembled violently, because the retracing rune can only reproduce the image of what happened in the scene in the past time, but the image will not make any sound, he can only see it, he cannot hear it.

Gray opened his eyes before being tied to the torture rack, and the figure thrown into the flames struggled violently...

He's still alive...he's alive...

In front of the image of the illusory fire, Kuris knelt down abruptly.His eyes couldn't move away from the burnt person in the firelight, he opened his mouth uncontrollably, as if he was experiencing the same indescribable pain as the person in the firelight: "Ah——"

The abyss responded, and the curse in Kuris's body suddenly flooded his body uncontrollably like a flood that broke a bank. He seemed to be trapped in an unprecedented painful dark world. His body, his consciousness, his body The soul is like being split and put back together...
