let go of my anne

"Mortal, you have gone astray." After a long time, the ice crystal phoenix finally spoke.

Its expression is still indifferent like the most difficult ice, but its voice is unexpectedly gentle, warm, warm like the best sunshine in March, so refreshing that people can't imagine such a cold body at all. How on earth did such a sound come out of the extreme body.

Karthus didn't answer, he was silent for a while, and suddenly laughed lowly, at first it was light and hoarse, like a crow, then it became louder and more crazy, and finally he was trembling hysterically Looking up, the intensity seems to be that even the scepter in his hand is almost unsteady. If this old guy is not really decayed and his blood is exhausted, he might even laugh out of tears.

After a long, long time, Karthus finally stopped laughing. He stood up again, looked up at the most beautiful creature in the world perched high in the sky, and said with a smile, "Hey , Then, should I thank you for your concern?" As he spoke, he picked up his staff again, and he even had time to lightly straighten his slightly messy and complicated robes, which seemed completely inappropriate. Any influence from the phoenix above the sky.

"Mortal..." The phoenix froze slightly, as if it hadn't expected that the guy in front of him whose strength was about to approach him would say such a thing, and it didn't know what to say for a while, "Tell me why you came .”

This is an admission. Although Karthus just lost to it, and this guy's power is a collection of extreme paranoia, he is indeed strong enough to be recognized by it, and he is qualified to sit down talk about it.

Karthus nodded, he was very satisfied with the result of this negotiation, this is the most standard test and recognition between the strong.

Just when Karthus was about to speak, he suddenly turned his head, because he heard a voice coming from the direction where Chen Senran fell.

"Tap—" It sounded like something was being opened.

That phoenix looked at Chen Senran almost at the same moment as Karthus.

The next moment, a monstrous fire ignited on the man whose soul had been frozen, enveloping the girl in his arms in an instant.

The flames rose and raged, but did not hurt little Annie. The flames flowed violently throughout her body, licking her pale face, but it was gentle and soothing, just like a lover's hand.

------------

Chen Senran could no longer feel any sound, temperature, or color, and his consciousness had completely sunk into the endless darkness.

He didn't know where this place was, or why he came here. The only thing he remembered was when his whole body was about to freeze, and he could only watch little Annie die in his arms.

A voice suddenly whispered in his ear, come on.

Almost out of an instinct, or maybe it could be said that the drowning man grabbed the last straw, he rushed to the source of the sound without hesitation, the only thing that could move in his body, the endless void.

He embraced the darkness.

Then, knowing nothing, he surrendered everything to the darkness that seemed to swallow everything, hoping only to protect the flower.

But in the outside world that Chen Senran couldn't see at all, those flames were still raging, and little Annie's pale face that was frozen to death finally had a tinge of blood.

It seems that Chen Senran's wish has come true, but under the turbulent flames, some pure black matter is also rising with the flames, condensing in Chen Senran's eyes that are still open, and they are getting stronger and stronger. Gathering more, it seems that he wants to occupy his entire pair of eyes and crawl out directly from there.

"It turned out to be...they." Karthus had already walked to Chen Senran's side. He first glanced at little Anne whose situation had improved, and then put all his attention on Chen Senran's eyes, and said Almost a sigh of shock.

"You know them too?" The phoenix was still in the sky, it didn't even move its body, just stagnated in the highest sky, but it seemed to be omniscient and omnipotent, seeing the situation on this side clearly, Judging by its tone, it also knows those black things.

"No, strictly speaking, I don't know what these things are." Karthus shook his head, and stretched out his hand to Chen Senran's body that was in flames, "I just felt them, the truth is It was about them that I came this time. Do you know what they are?"

"What do you feel from them?" The phoenix didn't take Karthus's words, but asked instead.

"The instability of the world." Karthus nodded and put his hand on Chen Senran's forehead, purple light gushed out from between his fingers, "I captured this substance from the fluctuation of space. This unstable substance felt the most terrifying devouring, but at the beginning its number was not too much, but at the beginning of this year it suddenly grew on the periphery of our plane, I am afraid..."

"Are you afraid that the world will be destroyed?" Phoenix directly guessed Karthus' answer.

"Yes." The purple brilliance began to surge from Karthus's hand, and the brilliance poured into Chen Senran's almost pure black eye sockets along his metal glove, "So I think I ask you, when will the world end."

"This is a rather troublesome energy. It is produced in the endless turbulence of the plane, so they have the property of devouring everything, including the plane. Because it is almost difficult to capture, I call it the void." Phoenix did not Directly answer Karthus's question, "Your perception is very keen, but you are wrong about one thing. These void forces have recently been revived rather than spawned. It first appeared in my perception in hundreds of years. Years ago, it's a pity that my power of rules was not fully formed at that time, and I only captured a short breath of time."

"As for...the destruction of the world." There was a hint of helplessness in Phoenix's voice, "Rules are not everything, so I don't know."

"You don't know either?" Karthus's voice was full of disappointment, he looked at the dark emptiness in Chen Senran's eyes and retreated into his body unwillingly, raised his hands and sighed long tone.

As the emptiness receded, the flames on Chen Senran's body were also extinguished, and Little Annie's rosy face suddenly turned pale again.

"This girl..." Karthus turned around from his slight absence. He looked at Little Annie's immature face and raised his hand again.

The purple brilliance came again.
