His senses expanded, and besides the Loki Familia trapped in the wooden puppet's hands, there was an unexpected surprise.
"He's not dead?"
Eugene controlled the wooden bodhisattva to dig away the soil and rocks that had initially fallen, and sure enough, he found the pitch-black remains of a giant inside.
It was on its last breath, but because it had no magic stones, it was practically immortal as long as it was in the dungeon.
If it weren't for the continuous output of stamina that completely drained it, it would have already started regenerating at super speed.
Eugene stepped forward with a grin and stared at the giant whose face was only half ravaged.
Upon seeing this terrifying creature, the giant's fierce eyes lost all trace of madness.
If Eugene hadn't drained a huge amount of its energy beforehand, this guy might have really caused the Loki Familia to collapse.
However, for Eugene, there are no "what ifs".
He placed his hand on the giant's forehead, intending to simply destroy it and extract its attributes, but then he thought, since he was already here, he might as well play a little longer.
Thus, the ability that should have been plundering the life force of bloodlines was instead activated, carrying some pure energy, and was instantly injected into the giant's remains.
Blah blah blah!
Beneath the Bodhisattva's base, some thick wooden vines climbed up, tightly binding the giant's body and dragging it all the way to the clasped hands.
Having received an energy boost and a chance to catch his breath, despite his confusion, Barol did not go against his instincts.
It began its difficult regeneration, and the first thing it repaired was its arm that had barely survived.
But just as the regeneration was halfway complete, and the area below the wrists was not yet fully repaired, the wooden hands in front of me began to wriggle and deform, transforming from neat wood carvings into rough log roots.
Barol stared wide-eyed, utterly astonished and bewildered.
Just when he thought Eugene was going to kill him.
Click!
Inside the root system, a sword aura tore through the constraints, allowing the light from the outside world to penetrate it!
Out!
The first to emerge from the stifling environment was Ais.
She took deep breaths of fresh air, struggled to sit up, and prepared to lead her companions out.
But soon.
Extremely close to him, the giant, bloodshot, hideous eye filled his entire field of vision.
how come! ! !
"Ais! What's wrong!"
Sensing something was wrong, Finn forced himself to squeeze through the gap.
The instant he emerged, a massive arm with protruding knuckles was raised high.
This time, there was still no hesitation.
The vengeful giant roared triumphantly and crashed down!
309 creates an unexpected event when there is no one else to worry about.
Most of the time, there aren't that many coincidences in the world.
In that case, you'll miss out on many "encounters".
However, since there are no coincidences, we should take the initiative to create them, so that we can steer events in the direction we want to the greatest extent possible.
For example, right now, Eugene didn't directly kill the dying Dark Giant. Instead, he gave it a final push and dragged it directly to the enemy with whom he had just fought.
Once the person inside breaks free of the package and emerges, the two sides will be locked in a staring contest, which will be the perfect opportunity for Eugene to intervene.
Moreover, according to his estimation, the most likely candidate to lead the way is Ais.
"How can it be!!"
As the enormous arm was about to cleave down, Finn felt a chill run down his spine!
Now they have exhausted all their strength and are truly at their wits' end, having even lost their weapons.
At this critical juncture, the remaining people are still in darkness and have no time to react. How can they break the deadlock?
Could it be that after all the effort we put in to get here, it all ends like this?
Zheng!
But that crystal-clear sword cry said it all! No matter what the circumstances, Ais, who had already made up her mind to protect everyone, would never abandon them.
She gave Finn no indication whatsoever, without the slightest hesitation in her mind. Even as she endured the exhaustion that reached her very soul, she still stood at the forefront, sword in hand.
I will never allow any more companions to be taken away!
The last stubbornness in her eyes turned into power, causing a fierce blue wind to sweep around the girl once again.
Wind Spirit dashes!
He raised both wrists, and ripples spread across the sword's edge. Although its power was not as great as before, the power that any living being unleashed when it was filled with the will to die was astonishing.
Miniature, powerful wind!
In a very short time, the blonde girl had transformed into the eye of the storm, gathering the wind blades that were shattering everything into a single point, and colliding them head-on with the giant arm that was crashing down from above!
"Uh-huh!"
Thrown away by a sudden gust of wind and a flash of light, Finn tumbled back into the darkness behind him.
The last thing he could see was Ais's back, completely obscured by the wind wall.
Live on! You must live on!
The thought spread as a buzzing sound filled his head.
Under normal circumstances, Crisis Burst would inevitably lead to victory.
But unfortunately, someone interfered and created an accident.
The giant, having received the Eugene energy replenishment, regained power far exceeding Ais's expectations!
They fought almost non-stop all the way to the finish line, but stopped at the last obstacle. No matter how hard they tried, the sharp bone spikes above their heads were still closing in, about to pierce through the wind wall and hit the girl's slender body.
I'll lose?
A jolt went through her, and Ais's eyes trembled.
If I lose here, what's the point of gaining this power? Wouldn't the will I inherited from him be wasted?
Crimson hues appeared between his clenched teeth, and the flames in his golden eyes flickered like candlelight in the wind.
She has reached her limit, or even far exceeded it.
Unfortunately, the play, which should have ended perfectly, had its outcome altered because the balance was disrupted.
As the bones that were growing forward at a visible speed were about to pierce into her control range, Ais's heart sank to the bottom.
"Hmm, I'm a little disappointed."
She seemed to hear the man's disappointed voice.
It was as if I could see his face, now devoid of smiles and filled with regret.
No, I don't want that kind of thing!
Just then, a sharp silver light descended from the sky!
Almost with overwhelming force, the cold light of the weapon easily pierced through the giant's skull, and the shockwave blasted his ugly and ferocious face into pieces!
Ais's expression froze. Just a second ago, her eyes reflected the giant's triumphant smirk, but in the blink of an eye, the head of this monster with such tenacious vitality had exploded!
Rumble!
Without the support to move forward, the strong arm immediately stiffened and went limp. Correspondingly, Ais's final, sweeping attack, in such an abrupt and one-sided manner, successfully pulverized the remaining body into a black, bloody mess.
The girl, whose hands had lost their strength and who almost couldn't stand, looked ahead in astonishment, not understanding what had happened.
But as she looked ahead, following the marks of the impact, her pupils suddenly constricted.
A gleaming silver battle axe stood upright in the center of the trajectory, unshaken even by the powerful whirlwind that had destroyed the giant's body.
This clearly demonstrates its immense power! (There's a piece of wood restraining it below, haha)
· ·······Requesting flowers···· ·
"This is!"
How could she forget?
After all, this special weapon is still stained with his own blood and still retains that person's warmth!
Ais returned it to Tsubaki herself, not expecting to see it again, but unexpectedly, in this place deep in hell, they met again in such an unexpected way.
But who will use it?
Ais scanned her surroundings but did not spot anyone else.
Chun had told her that the person also had companions, so this battle axe must have been their doing.
But why are you unwilling to come out and see me?
I just wanted to know him a little more, just a little bit more...
Anxiety welled up inside her, and once things involved that person, Ais couldn't help but get caught up in it.
.... ..... 0
She desperately wanted to salvage something, to enrich and perfect the image of him in her memory, until he could remain in her memory forever.
"Ais! How are you?!"
Suddenly, her companions behind her called out, which distracted the girl.
Her gaze flickered for a second before returning to them.
When they turned back, they saw a blond man dressed in black, with a mysterious smile, standing tall beside the battle axe.
Every aspect of him is etched in a young girl's dream, and every detail about him is unforgettable!
"you--"
