Perlis took a tentative step forward, but at this moment, a slight sound came from behind her.
Without hesitation, Perlis dodged and jumped back a dozen steps, leaving a red afterimage behind.
"bass--"
Behind her, a huge axe slammed fiercely into the dark ground, creating a strong shock wave.
"boom!"
Perlis stood firm, raised her head, and looked carefully. She found that it was a figure wearing a giant armor. His head was covered with a sack, and the steel armor on his body had been broken for more than half, revealing some black rotten flesh underneath. The head covered with the sack was staring straight at Perlis, and countless eyes were cast from behind.
"How can it be..."
Perlis stared at the figure with a sack on his head and a huge axe in his hand. She couldn't believe that it was this guy in front of her, because she knew him -
——The Executioner of the Iron Guard.
According to her impression, the "Executioner" had already been shot in the head by Ivar from a distance at the execution ground on the top of Wanren Mountain, and blood splattered on the spot. It was impossible for him to be here.
Unless, that person is not the [Executioner] at all.
In other words...【The Executioner】is not a human being at all.
“Hiss, hiss, hiss…”
The Executioner made a sound similar to the sound of a snake from his throat. Before Perlis had time to react, he rushed in front of Perlis at a pace that seemed to accelerate time, and then raised the axe high.
"clang--"
Sparks burst out, Perlis blocked with her butterfly knife, and then took several steps back lightly. She casually turned the butterfly knife, and then it suddenly protruded with the potential energy of the factor, leaving a red track -
"bass--"
The blade slashed across the Executioner's arm, and dark blood splashed out and landed in the black space.
At this moment, the monster with the sack on his head lost his balance, and a red line appeared on his head covered with the sack.
"bass--"
Without any hesitation, Polly slashed down along the red line. In an instant, the head of the [Executioner] was chopped open by the red halo, and black liquid burst out.
"Pfft."
However, the Executioner did not fall down. He staggered a few times, and the sack on his head was torn apart, revealing the horrible face behind it.
The moment she looked into that face, Perlis took a deep breath and the hand holding the knife began to tremble slightly.
It was a blurry black face without any facial features. Instead, it was filled with countless eyes of different colors scattered in a random pattern, all staring straight at Perlis.
In the center of the blurry head, a crack that was shining with red light was still flashing with lightning, but in an instant, the sticky black substance repaired the crack, and the horrible head was complete again.
The Executioner is one of those dark creatures.
How... How could this be possible...
"..."
Staring at those countless pairs of eyes, Perlis felt her legs stiff and she could hardly move a step.
Looking at the figure swinging an axe and approaching her, Perlis didn't know what to do for a moment.
But at this moment, a subtle feeling spread from the end of the space, as if something was revealed.
At the same time, Perlis saw the Executioner freeze in his tracks.
......
"call..."
At the top of the lighthouse, Aoi casually rubbed a small flame with her hands, threw it into the somewhat primitive brazier in front of her, and then controlled the temperature to let the fire burn.
There were many symbols engraved on the brazier that Aoi could not understand. As the fire burned, those symbols seemed to emit some kind of vibration invisible to the naked eye, making Aoi feel that something around him had changed.
"Ok?"
Aoi turned around and looked at the town of Ankamouth behind her, and suddenly discovered something that surprised her -
——As the lighthouse lit up, the fog covering the town gradually dissipated.
......
7) Sea Mist Room (Part 16)
In the dark space, Perlis stared at the "Executioner" who was frozen in place in front of her, and was a little dazed for a moment.
Why did he suddenly stop moving? What happened just now?
Perlis searched quickly in her mind, and soon she found the biggest possibility:
Aoi has lit up the lighthouse, which may mean the fog has dissipated.
It seems that she was not dragged into the [Netherworld]... Perlis breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't think that Aoi, with her carefree appearance, could survive in the black town of Ankamouth.
But at this moment, a strange roar came from in front of her. Perlis looked closely and found that it was the trembling body of the [Executioner]——
"Tekili-li! Tekili-li!"
With strange screams, the giant armor on his body broke apart piece by piece, and black liquid exploded on the ground. The dark flesh under the armor continued to expand and proliferate, and sticky black tentacles appeared from the narrow gaps in the flesh, mixed with growth substances that looked like teeth.
He... No, its body was constantly colliding, gradually breaking through the human form, becoming increasingly huge and twisted, spreading and filling the space in front of Perlis, and was about to swallow Perlis up.
Oops... I have to solve this situation immediately...
Looking at the gradually expanding body of the "Executioner" in front of her, Perlis did not hesitate even a little. She quickly turned the factor bracelet on her hand, released all the destructive factors into the air, and then manipulated them to gather on the "Executioner"'s body.
A red line quietly appeared.
"call..."
After taking a deep breath, Perlis put away the butterfly knife, grasped the handle of the sword at her waist, and rushed forward suddenly.
"bass--"
The sword was unsheathed, and the burst of red light instantly slashed through the body of the [Executioner] with a thunderous strike, leaving a melt mark.
“Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!”
A sharp cry so sharp that it hurt the eardrums was heard. Even though it had taken a blow from Perlis, the thing that had once been the "Executioner" continued to grow. Countless tentacles and sticky growths were rushing towards Perlis, surrounding her.
But Perlis's original intention was not to use this knife to kill the [Executioner], but to use the red line to cut a space rift!
"bass--"
With a flash of factor potential energy, Perlis instantly drilled into the space crack that had just been cut, and her body was swallowed up in an instant.
At the same time, the thick fog covering the Sea Mist Island dissipated, and some influence radiating outward from the fourth-level tomb chamber gradually disappeared, and the darkness dissipated.
.......
On top of the lighthouse, looking at the town of Ankamouth after the fog had dissipated, Aoi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Anyway, it was a close call... Since the fog has dissipated smoothly, it means that Perlis should be back soon.
After all, her power is very special.
"..."
Aoi looked out toward the sea in the distance. She picked up the intercom, pressed a button, and said with a smile:
"Calling the Ice Ocean, the lighthouse is on. How's the visibility on your side?"
After a short while, the voice of Admiral Fujita Hideo came from the intercom:
"Received, Miss Aoi, the view is good, the all-round strike is about to begin, please stay where you are and wait for the bombing to end."
"understood."
Aoi then leaned against the railing of the lighthouse, leisurely gazing at the distant horizon, waiting for the large-scale fireworks show to begin.
She didn't have to wait long, for soon several flashes of red light lit up on the horizon, accompanied by dozens of red fireworks that shot straight up into the sky.
That was a meteor fired from the Kamistriker, coming from beyond visual range and accurately pointing to the location marked by the Oira soldiers on the Sea Mist Island.
Looking from the lighthouse, Aoi discovered that there were actually several Thebites' strongholds on the edges of the island. Those camps were probably disconnected from each other because of the thick fog in Ankamouth, and only now were there sporadic lights coming from those camps.
But it was too late. In an instant, dozens of red lights fell from the sky and landed precisely on the locations of the camps.
"boom--"
"Boom boom——"
"boom--"
Lines of red annihilation dotted the edge of the Sea Mist Island. Aoi looked at the scene with great pleasure. Then she stretched out her hand, glanced at the watch that did not exist on her wrist, and said softly:
"Alright, magical little Pure White, show up soon."
......
"bass--"
After jumping out of the red space, Perlis found herself standing on the ground of a primitive cave, surrounded by pitch darkness.
She keenly noticed the oil lamps on the surrounding stone walls, and lightly snapped her fingers -
"Snapped!"
Red arcs of electricity exploded around the stone walls one by one, and lights lit up one by one, illuminating the spring in front of Perlis.
——It was a pool of black spring water, deep yet transparent, clear yet turbid, emitting a texture like black pearls from the inside out.
There are several stone pillars around the spring, inlaid with algae and shells, as well as various evil reliefs that Perlis can't quite understand, describing something under some ocean current.
Is this the "spring" that the Bridge and the Chord had mentioned? Is this the door to Immotalus?
Perlis slowly walked to the dark spring and stared at the black water. For some reason, the black spring in front of her could not reflect Perlis's face, and there was no fluctuation at all, like a solidified black diamond.
As long as you have the [Black Emblem], you can go from here to Inmotarus... the black island...
Driven by some strange instinct, Perlis stretched out a hand and tried to touch the surface of the black spring water. She wanted to see what would happen if she touched the water.
At this moment, Perlis felt a slight vibration in her pocket. She pulled back her hand and touched it, and found that it was the gold coin she found in the ruins of the shipwreck.
Why is it shaking at this time?
"..."
Perlis took out the gold coin, and somehow threw it, and found that it landed on the front side - there was a pair of angel wings engraved on it.
At this moment, a strong sense of murderous intent appeared. Perlis raised her head suddenly, and her eyes suddenly widened——
——I don’t know since when, countless black tentacles stretched out from the spring!
Some of the tentacles even wrapped around Perlis' ankles, but she didn't notice anything!
"Wha...what!"
Before she even had time to react, the tentacles suddenly pulled Perlis and dragged her and the gold coin towards the dark spring water.
“Eh? Eh! Ah!!”
Perlis only had time to let out a scream before she was dragged directly into the dark spring. Irregular ripples appeared on the black diamond-like water surface, and countless tentacles swarmed out, completely engulfing the girl's body.
After Perlis was swallowed, the black spring returned to silence again, and the oil lamps went out one by one.
......
"Om-"
The shadow of the church in the town of Ankamouth suddenly became extremely thick and dark. In an instant, a gentleman wearing a black top hat and an elegant suit jumped out from the shadow and stood in front of the church.
He raised his head and looked at the ancient and mottled church in front of him under the dark sky, with an elegant smile on his face:
"Humph, people who worship fish, people who are worshiped by fish."
After taking a look at the statue on the top of the church, he adjusted his silver-framed glasses on his hooked nose, pushed open the door of the church and walked in.
"..."
As the pair of black leather shoes stepped into the church, countless expressionless faces looked at the gentleman at the same time, but turned their heads back the moment their eyes met, as if they saw nothing.
Seeing this, the gentleman nodded with great satisfaction, and then cast his eyes towards the priest on the notice board. After seeing the face under the hood, he was stunned for a moment, and then he chuckled elegantly:
"Well, whoever you are, tell me everything you know."
After staring at the green-eyed priest for a few seconds, Suleiman Agust's silver eyes gradually became deeper, with ink-colored lines spreading out in them.
