Chapter 221 Gaze, Will Check, Sanity Loss
"Fortunately, it wasn't a big failure."

The extraordinary elf muttered and waited for the injury to ease before slowly getting up, and came to Anna Sui who was lying not far away.

Although her face was injured, she could still be seen as a beautiful elf.After taking a small amount of healing potions, her condition gradually eased and she was about to wake up from a coma.

Bessarius looked at it for a while, as if he was brewing emotions.Then, he grabbed Anna Sui's neck and lifted her from the ground, parted her lips, and kissed her wildly.

An oval-shaped object could be vaguely seen passing through and getting into Anna Sui's mouth.

"Woo—!" The female elf in the deep kiss whimpered in horror. The egg left undulating traces on her mouth, throat and chest until it disappeared into her body.

"Okay." Bessarius wiped his mouth and threw the female elf on the ground.

He raised his hands and began to chant complex spells.The incantation consisted of an indecipherable chant, neither Elvish nor human, so majestic and terrifying that one could not help but think of the bottomless abyss and the nameless huge creatures that only appear in nightmares.

The cave in the Belomon ruins shook violently as if it was about to collapse. The tunnel leading to the main camp began to disintegrate as he sang, and large pieces of rubble collapsed, blocking the road to the nearest exit in a blink of an eye.

After completing this work, Bessarius sighed in satisfaction and disappeared into the darkness again.

……

The five members of the investigation team fled for a while in the underground ruins, and then joined together again.Sudden and violent earthquakes followed, destroying the road to the outside.

There was no other way out.Everyone looked at the darkness in the distance in amazement, for fear that the terrifying extraordinary elf would appear again.

In the battle just now, whether it was a team battle or a single player battle, Bessarius had an overwhelming advantage, and even destroyed part of everyone's equipment.He is an experienced spellcaster, but he is not afraid of melee combat at all. Such a situation cannot but make people feel intimidated.

Galadia was very tired, and the short battle just now consumed a lot of her energy: "What should we do now?"

There is no doubt that one should flee as soon as possible.Bessarius is an extremely powerful enemy, and there are unknown terrifying creatures in this ruins.

Sonia immediately said that she had a very useful sealed item echo map.As long as you use the clues on the map, you can find out the terrain of the nearby area, and then find the way out.

The area of ​​the Belomon ruins is very large, and there should be more than one passage for entering and exiting.

Griffith thought for a while, and then came up with an idea: "Or, it's okay to find an area with open terrain."

"Why is it an open area?" Sonia asked.

"Naturally, it's for the battle against Bessarius," Griffith said, waving his hand to calm his teammates who almost jumped up, "We were not prepared for the battle just now, and we were attacked by the Sealed Artifact held by him in a narrow area." With the repeated suppression of special abilities, we are also at a disadvantage in melee combat.

"However, if you think about it in retrospect, the range of effect of the sealed item cannot be limited by distance. The stronger the mysterious power, the smaller its radius of influence. Bessarius' caster form and melee form are not compatible Galadia and Sonia's ranged attacks continued to weaken his melee form as long as we kept enough distance; if he fought back as a spellcaster, Lana and I pressed his front.

"This time, I will treat him well with the gift that Knight Roland gave me."

This point of view is well-founded, and everyone who was panicked finally settled down.

Sonia looked at the map and led everyone to explore in the dark.They did not go to a high place, but moved along a more obvious path and in a place with a better view.

This piece of ancient ruins presents a spiral downward funnel shape.On the sloping slope, there are some artificially dug roads leading to the distance.Throughout the night, the five members of the investigation team groped forward in the dark, the looming danger in the darkness and the desire to get out of here as soon as possible drove them, a little bit deeper into the unknown world.

The only food they had was quickly eaten up. Because they were afraid of being caught up by Bessarius and blocked on narrow cliffs or paths, everyone dared not sleep except for a few dozen minutes of rest.

On the next morning, the exhausted group suddenly found an upward passage on the map.At the end of the passage, an open space appeared at the far end of the map.

The map cannot show the panorama there, but the continuous open area at the edge is already very huge. It is conceivable that the whole picture there must be as vast as a valley or a basin.

There may be a way to the outside!Or is it another large space in the ruins?This discovery cheered everyone up and quickened their pace.

"I'll go up to do some reconnaissance, everyone quickly follow." Galadia nimbly disappeared in front of her.Lana picked up the exhausted Fiona and followed closely behind.

Finding open ground isn't bad news, whether it's an exit or not.Griffith felt a lot more excited, and turned back to Sonia who was still standing there and said:
"Sonia, I'll carry you on my back."

"Huh? No, I'm fine."

Sonia shook her head.She was also very excited, but there was a strange aura that was attracting her.

There was some kind of movement on the road when everyone came.

Without any warning, the accessories in her belt suddenly burst into soft and bright light.This is a protective spell that dispels black magic and pollution, and the accessory will only activate when it detects that danger is imminent.

Sonia was taken aback and let out a small exclamation.The guardian spell illuminates the rocky walls, leaving a twisted shadow at the end of the abyss.It curls and wriggles as if it has no fixed form, and it seems to be flowing.

Anna Sui appeared there.

Her steps faltered, twisted and lifeless, as if her soul had been emptied by something, and what appeared here was only a hollow skin.However, upon closer inspection, there seemed to be something dragging behind her, illuminated by the light of the spell, leaving a long silhouette on the rock wall.

Her otherwise slender figure had somehow become surprisingly sexy.Sonia watched in amazement.As a girl, she never thought that she would be attracted by the round curves like mountains, and she even wondered if she was dazzled by tiredness.

In a blink of an eye, she really found that the full curve of the fallen elf's chest had swelled to an astonishing size, like two melons bouncing up and down, and continued to grow bigger and bigger at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon swelled into a A pair of meatballs bigger than Anna Sui's upper body.

Sonia watched this astonishing scene almost subconsciously.She was terrified to death, every ounce of reason was issuing doomsday warnings, but she just couldn't resist the drive of curiosity.

The mass of flesh deformed violently, giving birth to Anna Sui's facial features, and then pulled out the complete shape of the upper body.The same confused and empty eyes were surprisingly full, and then swelled and split again.

4, 8, 16, 32...

In just a few seconds, Anna Sui turned into a pile of gushing smooth flesh under Sonia's horrified and desperate gaze.

The fountain at home broke last summer and that's what it looks like.This was the only thought left in Sonia's chaotic brain, and the severe pain, coldness and helplessness had already eroded her whole body.

The tumbling naked body waved and curled in the darkness, and the countless facial features and bodies of Anna Sui began to blur, turning into tentacles spitting out white mucus and blasphemy.

Words can't describe the horror of that scene, Sonia felt her will was completely crushed, her reason fell like an avalanche, and there were a thousand church bells beating in her head.She witnessed nightmarish sights and heard voices cracking in her heart.This chaotic and vicious scene traumatized the spirit and the mind.She wanted to close her eyes and call for help, but it was too late.

Griffith couldn't see the whole picture of the monster from his position, but the terrifying shadow shaking on the rock wall had traumatized his mind.

It is an unimaginable, terrifying creature that does not exist in any records.Crazy, twisted, profane and sinful, but there is an urge to explore its secrets and assimilate with it.

"Don't look, Sonia!" Griffith yelled, alarming the companions in front.At the same time, he frantically ran towards Sonia.

The monster that filled the entire tunnel was pressing towards this side, making a creepy music-like sinister flute sound, reminiscent of the wind and cry from the distant mountains that everyone heard outside the swamp ruins.

Griffith tried his best not to look, not to think.But one idea still occupied his mind—this is a kind of flute sound with a wide range, like music.

Somewhere, Griffith heard a series of dice falling to the ground.He didn't know what had happened, but the constant surge of horror, death, and mad despair had vaguely appeared in front of him.

"what--!"

Sonia let out a desperate scream.Her scream was so shrill, terrified and unfamiliar that Griffith couldn't imagine that it was her voice.

Just hearing the girl's screams made Griffith terrified, he didn't dare to look at the shadow shaking on the wall, and even wanted to leave her and run away alone.

Sonia fell to her knees while uttering this scream, with her hands clasped tightly on her chest and gasping for breath.The gasp turned into a moan of dying in an instant, and the slender body twitched violently.

Griffith heard the shattering sound, and at the same time, the golden shield on his body exploded with a "bang".

The soul contract between Griffith and Sonia was activated, and the pale golden guardian blessed Sonia.This is a situation that only occurs under near-death damage.

The soul contract was activated, Griffith couldn't help but his feet went limp, and he almost fell.His sanity was also draining.However, his body and spirit supported the sudden blow, allowing him to continue running desperately.

With the last of his reason and courage, Griffith rushed forward and held Sonia in his arms, not daring to look up to see the true face of the surging shadow, and ran away in a panic.

The two fled along an almost endless tunnel.Sonia in her arms had lost her sanity, her body temperature dropped rapidly, her eyes were turning white and she lost focus as if she was extremely excited, the corners of her mouth were drooling, and her whole body was twitching and trembling non-stop.The slender fingers clasped his delicate neck tightly, making a weird sound.

They fled in the cave like crazy, completely disregarding direction and route.
