Atlas Double Star Book

"I said, don't touch him." Neil raised his head.

The leader grabbed the stone ax and wanted to fight back.But Neil took the first step, suppressed the opponent, raised the dagger and pierced the opponent's palm without hesitation, bleeding profusely!

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" the leader screamed, his hands were completely nailed to the ground.

Neil stood up, glanced at the enemies on the ground, and said slowly: "Who else? Who else bullied him. Stand up, and we will settle them one by one."

Holding a long sword, the young man was covered in blood and was surrounded by enemies.It was a kind of cold rage, which was close to reason, or a death sentence that was decided after careful consideration.

daunting.

Standing among the panic-stricken crowd, the young man is like a sharp angel with absolute will.

"Neil...?"

Pelias struggled to support his body.Will there be such a thing?He couldn't help suspecting that this was probably an illusion, just a scene that he expected but didn't dare to hope for.No, it won't be like this.Peleas thought of those terrible things again, the monsters, the endless torture, and the matter of Hein.Perhaps for someone like him, these pains are not superfluous.

Someone is calling for him.

"teacher."

Pelias was in a daze, refusing to believe what he saw.Until that glorious young man came to him, hugged him, and cut the rope around his wrist.

"It's okay, I'm here to pick you up." Neil said softly, and hugged him again.

"Ugh..."

Unbelievable, it was the real feeling and temperature of the body.Only then did Pelias realize—Neil was indeed right in front of him, staring at him like a sharp sword from heaven.However, the scene in front of him made him tremble with fear, because Neil's face and neck were covered with blood, and his messy hair was also coagulated with blood scabs.His heart was about to break.

"You are hurt……?"

"It's okay, it's good to meet you." Neil smiled and rubbed Peleas' nose naturally.

Pelias couldn't speak, and his heart seemed to stop for a while.This innocent smile is so familiar, a long-lost sense of security, he longs for it, but dare not ask for it.

"Empire Knight!"

"It's the one with the blue eyes!"

People in the ice field recognized Neil, and they were even more outraged.They had fought against Trand's team several times, and they were deeply impressed by this blue-eyed enemy... This young man once shot the arrow with the letter of persuasion firmly at the feet of the former leader Atigo across the glacier.They called him "Eagle Eye," and when the blue-eyed knight was present, the Icemen had to beware of arrows falling from the sky.

Neil also recognized several familiar faces. Without saying a word, he raised his sword and slashed at the Iceborne monster.The beast groaned and fell to the ground, its head falling to the ground.

"It's you, Neil Bernhard!" The leader was supported by others, "just...before Trande Muawia, you were the one who came to the door first. Very well, I will take your head Put it on the flagpole, so that the imperial people can see it from a distance before attacking."

"Radney, take your men back to the ice field."

"This land is ours, and you are the ones to go. I, Radni, son of Atigo the Heart Eater, will make you pay in blood. I want Trande Muawia to die!"

Neil frowned and said, "Why do I feel that the whole world wants to kill Trand, how disgusting is he? You must have never seen him dance belly dance."

"Sybyl dogs!"

"They want to attack the imperial capital with monsters," Peleas said.

"That's it." Neil glanced around coldly. A few Icelanders swung stone axes at him. Neil just changed his pace and avoided it, just like a dancer matching the melody, one kind of swordsmanship is familiar with another. fencing.His goal is not the Icelanders, but to kill monsters.

The herd was in chaos, and the smell of blood made the beasts restless.Neil first killed the giant mouse, and then some unrecognizable pieces of meat. The Iceman stabbed in the back with a gun. Neil rolled sideways and swung his sword violently to cut off the tip of the gun.The other four attacked at the same time. Seeing that the spear was about to completely restrain the young man, a strong magic wind suddenly protected Neil and bounced off the sharp spear.

Pelias leaned against the tree to support his body, panting, pointed at the enemy with a short tin staff: "It is not a wise decision to let the mage participate in the battle."

Standing beside the wounded leader, the black mage seemed to be watching with interest through his clothed eyes, and said, "You let the monster go. Don't worry, the card player always keeps a hand."

"Don't stop, kill them!"

Under the leader's order, dozens of monsters attacked the young man.

Too many!Neal was overwhelmed by himself. He kept backing away and making sure that no monster would bypass him and attack the teacher.

Every time a beast pounced, Neil's sword was dyed red once.The feeling of slaughter is repeated continuously, the metal pierces into the solid muscle, cuts open, and when it touches the bone, it is necessary to draw the knife as soon as possible to prevent the blade from getting stuck in it.Neal had never killed so many things at once, and never before on the battlefield.Assembly line-like operation, repeated several times, death is endless, tireless.The monsters seemed to be throwing themselves on his sword on purpose, only an instinct to die.

Neil was dizzy, his consciousness was on the edge of the whirlpool, he seemed to be falling asleep.Only the movement of swinging the sword again and again, and the voice of the teacher would make it difficult for him to stay awake.

"Can you still hold on Neil?" Peleas supported his shoulder, using spells to alleviate his fatigue.The teacher still looks beautiful, Neal thought, even if haggard.

"I'm fine." Neil comforted, taking the opportunity to touch Teacher Pei's ear.soft.

The black mage raised his hand, and the monsters kept attacking him again. The Iceman also found that Neil's physical strength had dropped drastically, and would attack him when he had a slight weakness.Neil blocked the attacks from all directions again and again, the sword seemed to become heavy, and the splashed blood blurred his vision, and he had to wipe it off immediately.

"We can't go on like this..." Pelias shouted, "There are too many, Neil, let's withdraw first."

Neil gritted his teeth: "It doesn't matter, I can solve it now. Kill as many as you have."

He gradually got used to killing, and the feeling of cutting flesh became familiar.The fur of the beast slid across the skin, itching.Neil was in a daze, and every time he killed a living creature, it seemed that something was getting closer.

What is approaching?

Neil didn't understand, but he vaguely felt an eerie sense of power.

"What's wrong with your ear? It's bleeding... what is this black blood?" the teacher's voice.

ear?

Neil reached out and touched it, ah, it was that kind of black blood.It's okay, it doesn't matter.

"Neil, stop fighting, let's go! Your condition is very bad, I want to treat you." The teacher sounded very anxious, but just wait a little longer, and they will all be killed soon.In this way, the teacher will be happy too.

The closer the darkness came, the more power and relief he felt, and he wanted to plunge his sword into another living creature.The snake in his heart swam and grew stronger.

Neil sneered.

The people of the ice field retreated one after another, and the feeling of the youth changed completely.

Pelias had long realized that something was wrong with Neil, he had never seen such a violent and indifferent Neil.Thick black blood flowed out from Neil's ears, and the smell was pungent.The back of Neil's neck seemed to be burned, and blackened runes appeared.The young man's whole posture was depressed, as if shrouded in black mist.

"Neil...don't do this, stop now." Peleas wanted to hold Neil, but was blocked by a monster that wanted to bite.

"Shh." Neil lectured the monster, then turned to smile at the teacher.

"What did he do to you...it must have been something that guy did when he opened your roster...!"

The black mage said with satisfaction: "That's right, when I peeked at the child's roster just now, I wrote a small curse on a certain page."

Pelias was distraught.

"Also, didn't you hide some of the child's memories?" The black mage looked at Peleas, "I just helped him recall it by the way. How could he remember such an important thing as his mother being raped and killed?" forget?"

!

mom.

Neil raised his head, his eyes were blurred, and his surroundings were scorching hot.

He seemed to see a terrible shadow, swaying in the sea of ​​fire.The house was on fire and the shadows pulled him from his hiding place.Huge hands held him down, forcing him to watch his mother suffer.

"Neil, that's an illusion, he's bewitching you!" the teacher's voice said.

Is it an illusion?

Neil covered his head, and a big hand grabbed his hair, not allowing him to look away.

"I, I..." He was about to choke in pain, his lungs were burning hot, and his tears were hot, "Don't do this...don't treat her like that, I want to protect her..."

He saw that his mother seemed to smile at him at last.He reached out and grabbed the bloody hand.

Why do this?

"Neil Bernhard, kill them. These people tortured Peleas, and they will kill Aglaya and Hein." The black mage said.

The young man froze, like a stuck clock.

The Iceman was also confused, not sure what was going on.

Pelias was furious: "Shut up! Damn bastard, I can't spare you."

"They're going to kill mom and dad..." The young man looked up blankly, his blue eyes dimmed, and the dark runes spread across his skin like snakes.

The faceless mage said: "Remember, those people want to take everything from you, so you should take revenge, shouldn't you?"

"Shut up!" Pelias yelled angrily, and the lightning-like spell instantly hit the black mage's heart.The figure suddenly fell to the ground, turning into a pool of pitch-black oil.The electric current was jumping, and the smell of burning was pervasive.

The pool of black liquid gradually gathered again, becoming a human form.Pelias realized that the reason why the black mage covered his face was because he was not here at all, it was just a substitute made by magic.Theoretically, it could be done, but Peleas had never seen such ancient spells... He had to lament again that the academy's regulations did greatly limit the power of spells.If he were to confront this man, he would have no confidence in winning at all.

The black oil condensed into a vague human form again, and the black mage walked out of it, like a completed stone statue.

"Hey, I'm stupid too," the black mage rubbed his heart in distress, and the offensive electric current spell still beats from time to time, "Why did I forget that the binding spell has no effect on you? What a pity, I blame myself for being overwhelmed... No matter how cute a cat is, if it is not tied up, it may scratch people."

"It hurts..."

Neil knelt down on the ground, supporting his body with a sword, his arms were red.There are many dead animals around.

The monsters even became vigilant and did not dare to approach rashly.In an emergency, Peleas cast a calming spell on Neal.He wanted to hold Neil and escape from here quickly.But Neil gently pushed him away, grabbed the sword again, and said with a morbid smile: "I'm not going anywhere, I'm going to kill those people."

"Neil, don't think about those painful things, they will be distorted!"

Neil held his head in pain, and there were countless voices in his head, like a thousand needles scraping flesh and blood.Neil was in so much pain that he couldn't even hold the sword, and kept vomiting black blood, almost choking.

Suddenly, a voice whispered in his ear:

"Neil, you are Dad's little knight, right? You have to swear that you will always protect Mom and never let her get hurt, okay?"

Youth is completely out of control.The darkness was like a quagmire, pulling his consciousness down and sinking.Neil tugged at his hair and howled hysterically.

The chain was broken, the polluted "roster" suddenly collapsed, lightning burst out, overwhelming force, and strong winds swept through the mountains and forests.The magic power like a dike broke through the gap, as if endless characters poured out of the pages of the book.The power in Nier's "roster" leaked out continuously, melting into the spell structure prepared by the black mage in advance.Everyone was terrified, they felt the invisible fire roaring and swirling, and the air seemed to turn into red-hot iron.The forest is tense.

The grass was blackened, the hides were scorched, and vision was distorted by the ferocious heat wave.People couldn't understand it for a while.

"No... no fire?"

The young man stood up, ashes and sparks fell.

He raised his sword horizontally, but the sword was already stained with blood so that it could not be seen clearly, as if it was not metal, but a molten stream of fire.The darkness took on a hot form, and Neil looked forward, his lightless eyes staring into the void.

"Stop..." Pelias just wanted to stop.

The young man didn't seem to hear, and gently swung his sword——

The aimless and directionless fire swept across the forest in an instant!The tyrannical force tore nature apart, the foehn winds made it impossible to stand, and the herds wailed.

People covered their faces with their arms. When the survivors opened their eyes tremblingly, they could only see that the slope to the south had been scorched... The monsters and human corpses were stuck together in black, the ashes slowly drifted away, the ground was scalded, and the forest left behind. An ugly scar.

"The spells of the Dienrian wizards..." Pelias did not expect that such a super-large spell could be completed by himself...

The black mage was very excited: "I didn't expect it! An unexpected harvest! Have you seen it, this is the power of the red dragon!"

The young man looked this way.The icemen were terrified. Several men had been killed, and the bald man was wounded and unable to escape.The monsters also fled.

"Stop that man!" shouted the leader.

That's too late.

He is like a blade, wielded by a nameless violence, killing everything that comes near him.There is no difference between humans and animals, and enemies and civilians are the same.Everything trembled on the brink of destruction.The young man swung the hot sword again and again, and the huge flame trampled on the hillside mercilessly.He is tireless, without hesitation, and has no superfluous actions at all. The purpose of everything is to kill.

It seems that the descendant is liquidating the fate that should have been withdrawn.

"Neil!"

Hearing the familiar voice, the young man lost his mind for a moment.He turned his head and saw the silver-haired mage staggering towards him.

"Teacher... what's wrong with me?"

"You don't feel well, don't worry, I'm here... can you come to the teacher?"

"It's so hot... I feel like a snake is burning in my heart." Neil clutched his painful chest, burning runes lit up on his skin.He gasped for breath, and seemed to lose his mind again.

Pelias was in a hurry, and quickly chanted a soothing spell, and Neil calmed down a little.Peleas glanced around, there were corpses and coke everywhere...Neil didn't use the lethal fire spell, it should be the black mage who polluted the "roster" and built another magic spell The passageway makes the outflowing power passively form an attack spell.

Neil's "roster" must be prevented from being further polluted... Peleas was sweating, and the closer he was to Neil, the more venomous the surrounding heat became.

"Neil, come here, don't you want to be patted on the head?" Pelias smiled hard, he had to check the status of the "roster" by touching.

Neil's expression softened, his body swayed as he tried to move, but he didn't take a step.

"Don't be afraid, I'll go over there." Pelias wiped his sweat and carefully stepped over a hot corpse, his legs and feet were weak with fright because of his ferocious expression.

"Don't get in the way!" The black mage raised his staff.

But Peleas turned around and summoned a powerful wind wall, breaking the enemy's spell instantly.The two mages were deadlocked, refusing to give in to each other.

At this time, the bald ice man suddenly jumped out from behind the black mage and tied him up.

"Tane, what are you doing!" The leader was furious.

Peleas had quick eyes and quick hands, and cast a binding spell on the rope, but the black mage suddenly turned into a pool of black shadows again, and the rope fell loosely to the ground.

"It seems that the current situation is not very friendly to me. Let's meet again later, respected Silver Mage." The faceless man smiled and disappeared into the shadows.

The scholar and the Iceman looked at each other, both panicked and exhausted.

Pelias touched Neil's chest. Sure enough, some kind of pollution source was implanted in the "roster". The situation was very bad...very bad... He panicked for a moment, and he couldn't even estimate how much Neil was affected.

He wanted to quickly help Neil control it, but he didn't dare.Because the "roster" is the embodiment of a person's life, destroying part of the roster is equivalent to directly reducing life.The situation exceeded his expectations. How many contaminated "rosters" must be burned to ensure that Neil will not be corrupted by unknown black magic?However, most of the parts of the "roster" that he can detect have been contaminated.If only we could have found out sooner...

Peleas was both remorseful and panicked.Hands hanging in mid-air, at a loss.

After the young man regained his sanity for a while, the abyss stretched out countless hands, trying to drag him in.

"Teacher... I'm so uncomfortable, teacher..."

Neil knelt down and hugged Peleas' palm, his robe wet with tears and blood.Pelias couldn't take it anymore, what was the barbarian's torture plan?Now Neil knelt before him, weeping like the three-year-old, tortured by memories.Pelias was really going crazy, he couldn't watch Neal suffer like this.If the memory of witnessing his mother's death hurt the child, it might as well erase it again with a spell... as he had done then.

"Alright Neil, I'll be right away..." Peleas put his hand on Neil's forehead.

But the scholar's hesitant hand was lowered again

Pelias shook his head: "No...you are no longer a child, and I am not qualified to erase your memory at all... Neil, I'm sorry, my actions were too selfish at that time, I'm sorry..."

The scholar smiled wryly, and in the end it was almost difficult to speak steadily:

"I'm sorry Neil, I lied to you and erased your memory... because I was afraid that you would live in the shadows and fear that you would not be able to grow up happily like other children. I have no right to do that , but I love you so much... I thought that as long as I died alone with those painful memories, you could become the kind of person you were supposed to be."

Peleas choked up and leaned over to kiss Neil's forehead.

Neil looked up at him, moist blue eyes.All his past, obsessions and emotions melt into it.Peleas knew that his whole life might just be seeking his own reflection in this pure sea blue.

What a cruel and beautiful blue.

"Neil, I'm going to burn your polluted 'rosters' now, if... if there are too many polluted parts that must be destroyed, then..."

Pelias stroked Neil's face, and black blood also crawled onto his skin, which was ghastly.

"Then we shall die together."

The tears gradually dried, but a relaxed expression appeared on the young man's face.Neil didn't say anything, just held Peleas' hand and kissed his palm.
