Chapter 820 The Thin Line Between Life and Death

In this dark world, you can't open your eyes, as if you are in a fetal state, no... maybe there is only a ball of consciousness left, drifting in the boundless sea of ​​souls.

Sure enough... I'm still a little worried about teaching my body to the blood bear who has gone completely berserk to mess around. I don't know what the battle situation is like outside. Is the body with only the thought of destruction sweeping away the monsters, or is it still being destroyed? suppress.

According to my estimation, complete rage plus crime and punishment should be enough to elevate one's strength to the domain level, but Carlos also said that only by reaching the power of the world can one completely ignore the effect of [Position]. Who knows if he reaches the domain level? Can the power of these people resist the [power] of these ten thousand fallen demons?

In addition, there are twelve pseudo-domain-level fallen magic wizards, as well as Andariel's clones. To be honest, I am afraid of returning, but I am not very optimistic about the situation of my current body.

If he loses, then he will slowly fall into a deep sleep and then be annihilated unknowingly. This person named Wu Fan will completely disappear from this continent.

No... maybe he will be like a little ghost, keeping his soul state in this world because of his strong longing.

No... that's the worst thing. Don't think about the fact that there is an army of fallen demons led by Andariel outside. Even if you survive as a soul after death, they will still be discovered by them and be destroyed immediately. It would be better if you were sent to Hell, erodes his soul and turns into a crazy demon, which in turn harvests the lives of adventurers. One day he will even face Vilas and the others face to face, and then...

This is the most terrifying thing. Just thinking about it like this will make you have a strong emotion of "I will definitely die completely". I am not boasting, I am probably the most afraid of death among the adventurers in the entire alliance.

But there is no way, even fear, even despair, there is no way. All the methods that can be thought of have been used. The bad methods taught by the two bad teachers that I thought I would never remember in my life have been used.

This is the first time for me, the first time I have completely put all my efforts into it, using all the abilities I know and can think of. Even if I still lose, there is no way to make a comeback.

No matter how much I miss Vilas and the others, no matter how I don’t want to die, no matter how angry I am, no matter how unwilling I am, no matter how regretful I am, no matter how hard I struggle, there is nothing I can do about it. This is not a hot-blooded comic. As long as you think that you still have family, love and responsibilities, you can explode into a small universe. , if it could really reach this point, it would be too unfair to the senior adventurers who fell before him.

At this moment, my heart felt surprisingly calm, even though I already knew that I was standing on the scythe of death.

Quietly, quietly, drifting in this sea of ​​consciousness where there is no light, no time, only darkness and chaos, waiting for fate to come. How can people resist the huge destiny system? Those who shout that my fate is mine. People who can't help themselves may not know that they may just be controlled by fate when they shout these words. He is just a little encouragement given to the world by the fate system.

Just like a cow, it is occasionally allowed to fight with a bullfighter, and even poke the opponent's anus with its sharp horns, but it is always a cow that is kept in captivity and can be slaughtered if it wants, and this will not change.

Quietly...quietly...

[What is the future you are looking forward to? 】

Sounds like a man or a woman, majestic, gentle and emotionless. Strange yet familiar voices came from all directions, like warm amniotic fluid, in this cold and empty sea of ​​chaotic consciousness. surrounded.

After confirming that this was not talking to myself, I became curious about the owner of the voice. Anyway, there is no worse situation than now. Even if the great demon Baal suddenly appeared and told me that I am actually your father, I would not There will be no surprise at all.

"That's a difficult question to answer."

I answered to the unknown voice that came into my consciousness.

"Just like Willas asking me what to eat tonight, this is always a difficult question to answer because she has completely understood my taste and will make too many foods that I like, even if it is for ten large tables. I can’t even put it down.”

"So, unless there is something I really want to eat, I usually say in general terms, just make it delicious. Remember, it doesn't need to be too much. It is enough for three ordinary people at most."

If I didn't add the following sentence, my gentle, shy and confused little housewife would have her mind completely occupied by "delicious food" as her highest order of action, and then she would keep tinkering in the kitchen, and the same goes for Sarah. I will also help the evildoers on the side, so that until dinner time, the food can be put on at least three tables, which I know very well.

"In other words, there are too many changes in the future, and there may be a path to happiness that I don't even know. It's too troublesome and confusing for me to answer them one by one. Usually my answer is - everyone To have a happy future is an option that even I think is a bit vulgar, but I still won’t hesitate to say it.”

"..."

"Was my answer too wordy? Sorry, it's too boring to be alone here. Finally, someone came to talk..."

Seeing that the other party was silent for a long time, I scratched my head and said embarrassedly, of course, the actions can only be imagined in my mind.

[No, it is very valuable for reference. 】

The sentence, which seemed to be simulated by a program, without any fluctuations or changes in syllables compared to the first sentence, came slowly.

[Have you understood the meaning of your identity? 】

"What...what's your identity?"

I asked cautiously. I couldn't help it. This mysterious figure asked too generally. I have many identities, such as a charlatan, a man in a cloak, a quasi-tragedy emperor, etc. Which one of them is not resounding and bright?

【Redeemer. 】

The voice said three words without any hesitation, which made me very confused, but in the blink of an eye, I thought that this guy could actually enter the sea of ​​​​my consciousness. Even if he knew that he had another hidden profession, it would not be surprising.

"I don't know, are you asking me to be the savior or something?" I replied very bachelorly.

[Roughly...it's one of them, then, let me ask you, do you want to be the savior? 】

"No." I answered faster.

【Why? 】

“The savior thing is too vulgar, just like when you grow up you will still say things like ‘My future dream is to be Superman’.”

Thinking about the moment I was suppressed by the Sinking Demon, my mind immediately started to reminisce about the incident. I just felt chills all over my body. I never thought that one day I would become a character in a hot-blooded comic. This kind of thing happened once enough.

"Of course, if I can do anything, I will still do it if I am asked to save the continent or something."

After thinking about it, I was afraid that the voice might be misunderstood, so I added another sentence.

"Roughly speaking, if I had to take the road of salvation, which one I would choose, my answer would be the one that is smooth and stable and does not feel vulgar."

【Yeah? I understand that right now, you are still unable to understand the true meaning and responsibility of the Redeemer, but this is also to be expected, because...because that time has not yet come. 】

Somehow, when it came to the last sentence, the voice paused obviously, giving people the feeling that it was originally about to leave something out, reveal a secret, and then discovered it in time and gave a general and ambiguous answer.

[It seems that I was a little too hasty. 】

Hearing this voice's intention to retreat, I became anxious.

"Wait, at least tell me who you are."

【I……】

He groaned slightly hesitantly, and then said in a tone that made people think twice.

[I... am both you and not you. 】

"Hey, hey, don't always say things that people can't understand. You obviously don't want me to know that's why you say this. Why don't you just say it out loud?!"

I immediately complained to everyone around me.

【You can understand it this way. 】

I don't know if it was my imagination, but there seemed to be a hint of smile in the voice.

【Do you have any other questions? 】

Asked this sentence, it really means retreat.

After hesitating for a while, I answered tremblingly.

"Can you... let me see what's going on outside? If I die, then all the conversations just now are nonsense."

【no problem. 】

He answered cheerfully, and then, a huge hole was torn open from top to bottom in this dark and chaotic world, as if his eyes were opened, and the scene outside was immediately transmitted in.

Then, I saw a dark world shrouded in thick fog, with a huge demon in the middle that looked like the World Tree supporting the entire dark world, and the fallen demons at my feet that were as big as ants.

At just the first glance, I recognized that the huge demon that exuded a pure and strong aura was me. This was a recognition that had always come from my soul.

"It's... really an incredible transformation."

The completely unexpected scene made me stunned. I watched the giant demon I had transformed into, squeezing the fallen demons under my feet to death like it was teasing ants.

A strong emotion suddenly surged out from the depths of my soul without any warning. If my body was still there, I can guarantee that I would have cried.

This is a feeling called tears of joy. It’s not without anxiety, fear, anger and unwillingness. It’s not that we don’t want to struggle to survive. It’s just that all means have been used. We can only wait quietly for the judgment of fate until we see this scene in front of us. At that moment, all the strong emotions that had been powerlessly suppressed suddenly turned into a raging torrent and poured out, making me burst into tears.

Yes, it doesn't matter what form it takes, even if it's this huge and ugly demon in front of me, the most important thing is - I'm still alive and can continue to live.

At this moment, I deeply realized that in that memory, the old drunkard once left himself with the cold eyes that walked out of the pile of dead people - yes, only those who escape from the fingers of death Only when people look back will they deeply understand that nothing is more terrible than losing their life.

After calming down my mood, I started to cheer up my body. Although this statement is a bit strange, it is the fact that no matter how the giant demon became so huge and terrifying, it was all caused by my body. Derived from this, this is a fact that cannot be erased, but my soul and consciousness are watching this battle in another space.

"Yes, just slap it down like this, and go to that place..."

I was cheering on the side and watched [myself] raise a huge palm high and slap it hard on the ground. I couldn't help shouting, if I could make a move, I would be as immersive as the little ghost at this moment. Following the movements of [himself] who had transformed into a giant demon, he punched out with a left punch and a right punch.

“Great, that’s it!!”

Seeing that huge demonic palm, just as I pointed out, slapping at the place where the fallen demons are densest, I couldn't help but snap my fingers in excitement.

"Oh, damn, resurrected again."

Seeing those fallen demons that had been beaten to pulp by big palms, stood up again under the resurrection spell of the fallen demon wizard, I couldn't help but slap my forehead with regret.

etc! !

I suddenly discovered an unpleasant fact.

The number of fallen demons seems to have not decreased much. At a glance, it is only less than a thousand at most.

"Damn it, get rid of those fallen magicians first, especially the twelve big ones."

I started to get anxious. I could guess this situation without even thinking. It was definitely the work of those Sinking Demon Wizards, especially the twelve elite Sinking Demon Wizards. Some of them had no idea what elite attributes they had. With a wave of the ghost-headed staff, a large number of fallen demons were resurrected.

If we don't kill these fallen demon wizards, this battle will never end! !

I thought this in my heart, but unfortunately I couldn't control that huge demon. As it was condensed with pure consciousness of destruction, it seemed that there was no logic to capture the thief first and it would only simply destroy the things in front of it.

"Ouch————!!"

Just when I was secretly anxious, the giant demon suddenly looked up to the sky and roared, its wings spread wide, lightning flashed, and then endless energy bullets rained down, carrying out indiscriminate covering attacks on the people below.

"Right, that is it!!"

Seeing that in addition to the double claw attack, [I] also had such a powerful attack method, I couldn't help but turn my worries into joy.

As long as this trick is used several times in a row, those Sinking Demons will die completely.

After a covering bombing that lasted for more than a minute, the ground was covered with the broken limbs of the Sinking Demon, and those who survived were also scarred. But what made me so angry that my mouth was smoldering was that originally this was an additional bombardment of energy bullets. It was a good opportunity, but [I] actually stopped and continued to use two claws to torture monsters, and allowed the fallen magicians to resurrect the corpses.

A moment later, there was another big move. From the huge claws, a black energy column was fired directly that seemed to tear the entire dark world into two halves. It shot straight from the ground and directly sank hundreds of them. The demon was reduced to ashes and could not be resurrected even if he wanted to.

A few minutes later, there was another big move. He clenched his fists with his claws and hammered the ground. A huge shock wave visible to the naked eye ravaged the ground, but the killed Sinking Demon could be resurrected.

"Damn—damn—"

I was jumping up and down watching the scene in front of me. The situation in front of me was very similar to those in RPGs. The boss was obviously n times stronger than the player's character, but due to various reasons, such as the big move refused to be fired continuously, or the attack mode was figured out. , or it depends on how much blood is left before it explodes, so that the player will kill him alive.

I never thought that one day, I would become as ridiculous as the programmed boss in the game.

[Warning, warning. 】

The voice that I thought had gone away suddenly sounded from all around, and that tone was like a red light flashing, making me feel a little more anxious in my anger.

[Due to structural defects, this transformation cannot fully utilize and replenish energy, and the energy will be exhausted soon. 】

"What will happen if it runs out?"

I asked a very silly question.

【Return to original shape. 】

The voice gave the expected answer.

Even though my brain was extremely panicked, I could still tell the fate I would face after being knocked back to my original shape - those fallen demons who had been tortured by me for a long time, died and reborn, and were reborn and died, would definitely pounce on me and chop me into pieces immediately. Into meat sauce.

This kind of blow that turned from crisis to vitality, and then from vitality back to despair, made my mind go blank. I stared blankly at the huge demon that I didn’t know how long it could last, wreaking havoc everywhere. The originally extremely powerful demon At this time, in his own eyes, his form seemed to have turned into a paper tiger that was about to lose its power and was ready to be slaughtered.

【Do you need help? It will be very troublesome if you die. 】

the voice asked.

【Um. 】

I nodded subconsciously.

Then, his vision went dark, and his consciousness fell into a deep sleep. Only one last thought flashed through his mind.

Damn it, you are too action-oriented! !

Outside, the Sinking Demon who was busy escaping was suddenly startled.
