The sun is high - #211 - Chapter 210 Long and Short Swords
The bottom line is a very interesting concept.
In the world of Shuge’s past, it was often said that there were only the first and countless times of breaking through and trampling on the bottom line.
Many people believe that once a person’s bottom line is destroyed in one act, it will be difficult for him to set a new ideological threshold for himself again.
Xiuge certainly didn’t think that what he did to the Black Sun Society mage violated his bottom line. He had already killed many lives with his own hands, and there was no shortage of this one.
After all, as Shuge himself said, what really made him feel awkward and disgusting was the act of feeding his own kind to those monsters with his own hands.
But anyway, Shuge finally did it.
He did not intend to trust the confession of any member of the Black Sun Society. Rather than waste time interrogating and torturing them, it would be better to choose this process directly and obtain that part of the information and secrets thoroughly and clearly.
In the perception of the descendants of the Dark Abyss, an immobile magician is naturally an excellent ration. Soon, a large number of squirming sticky shadows crawled out from the ruins of nearby buildings. The strong feeling brought by the “food” The temptation makes them ignore the dappled sunlight and scramble towards their goal.
Surrounded by the descendants of An Abyss, the extremely tenacious mage of the Black Sun Society slowly woke up, and when he opened his weak eyes, he felt despair like a tsunami.
The destructive magic was cast with great reluctance, and the blazing magical flames bloomed beside the association mage as the magic patterns were constructed. In the beating firelight, the descendants of An Abyss who were originally surging forward They stopped, and countless large and small green eyes emerged from their connected dark figures. The firelight reflected in these eyes reflected extremely strong and primitive greedy desires.
“This is betrayal!”
Surrounded by the descendants of An Abyss, the Association Mage roared in despair. While he tried his best to call for more flames, he turned his head and tried to find Xiuge’s figure.
So he saw the young figure holding a cane standing quietly on a ruins not too far away from him. The dark coat was gently floating in the cold wind, and the white, thin face There was no emotion at all on his face.
He was like an emotionless sculpture, silently waiting for the moment of killing and eating.
“Yes, this is betrayal… But unfortunately, you are not qualified to rebuke my behavior. After all, you are Van En’s biggest traitor, aren’t you?”
Xiuge opened his mouth slightly, and a faint voice came with the wind under the influence of magic power.
In the desperate gaze of the association mage, Xiuge raised his right hand, and the magic lines flashed rapidly on his fingertips. A “brain spike” was formed instantly and flew out in the direction of the association mage.
This time, without the protection of magical rituals, he could no longer resist Shuge’s brain spike technique. Therefore, under the violent mental impact, the association mage’s thinking came to a standstill, and the magical flames that were barely maintained were also Extinguished on the spot.
As a result, the descendants of the Dark Abyss surrounding him immediately surged forward, and before the Association Mage could recover from the trance caused by the mental shock, the thick black gel had completely submerged him.
In just an instant, the body that was missing one leg and foot was wrapped in turbid colors. Just like all the victims who were wrapped and devoured by the descendants of the Dark Abyss, the face and expression of the Association Mage were frozen at the last part of the wrapping. Second.
Immediately afterwards, the descendants of An Yuan showed their extremely high eating efficiency to Xiuge.
After they successfully wrapped their prey, countless swinging sharp joints immediately grew from the inside of the mucus. They divided and chopped the body of the association mage at extremely fast speeds, followed immediately by the broken human remains. It rolled in the black turbid mucus.
The mucus, like some kind of strong acid, began to decompose and melt these human body fragments at an alarming rate, and the power that remained in it, as well as the memories and knowledge that remained in the soul and brain, were also absorbed into the dark abyss that had been gathered together. The heirs absorbed and divided it.
After the important meal, the movement speed of the descendants of the Dark Abyss began to decrease significantly. In order to digest the prey as quickly as possible, these descendants of the Dark Abyss gathered together to form a new whole.
They quickly avoided the sunlight, moved lazily in one direction, and finally hid in the shadow of a ruin with difficulty.
As the person who was most familiar with and understood these incomplete Dark Abyss creations, Xiuge neither left nor rushed to find and kill these Dark Abyss descendants. Instead, he waited patiently on the spot.
As the only living thing standing in the ruins, he naturally attracted the attention of many descendants of the Dark Abyss, but the mist of the Mirror Messenger that flashed across Xiuge from time to time successfully dealt with these greedy and ferocious monsters. It caused confusion and shock.
After several groups of Dark Abyss descendants who boldly approached Shuge were cut up and devoured on the spot, the remaining Dark Abyss descendants decisively regarded the area around Shuge as a restricted area. As for this weird and terrifying human being, they regarded it as a restricted area. For some terrifying predator that closely resembles me.
Xiuge didn’t mind at all what these monsters would think of him. He sat down on the ruins and closed his eyes slightly. His spirit and perception were always locked on the group of descendants of the dark abyss who were absorbing the soul and memory of the association mage.
While waiting for the descendants of the dark abyss to swallow up and absorb the soul and memory of the association mage, Xiuge shifted a considerable part of his attention to his “capture” on Iris Street – the man who was imprisoned for taking a certain substance. After being successfully swallowed by the mirror messenger mist, the Iris guard, who was completely transformed into the “son form”, also provided Shuge with a ball of power essence.
Compared with the ordinary descendants of the Dark Abyss, the essence provided by the Iris guard is much weaker, but in Shuge’s opinion, the memory and information contained in this essence are very rich, and the structure of these contents It’s very neat and tidy, and you don’t even need to do any unnecessary categorization and organization at all.
So Shuge easily extracted this complicated information, and when he was about to deal with the remaining essence of power, Charron’s touch, which had always been extremely weak and had a weak thirst for power, was missing. The ground became active, and Xiuge saw that the black tentacles that had been with him for the longest time actively explored the grooves of the metal disk, and began to swing gently towards him.
He could clearly feel the begging and overtures in it.
For a “model worker” like Charron’s Touch who was always quiet and performed extremely well, Shuge would naturally take care of him, so he immediately gave up the idea of throwing the essence of power to the messenger in the mirror. , and handed it over to the swinging black tentacles.
Xiuge originally thought that this extremely concentrated power essence could only be used as snacks for his Yuanpan residents, and that Charron’s Touch called out this power just out of “momentary greed.”
However, as the writhing black shadow fell into the “lair” of Charron’s Touch, changes beyond Shuge’s expectations immediately began to occur.
The Touch of Charron in the groove of the metal disc started to move. In just two breaths, the essence of power that was still trying to struggle was completely torn into pieces. The black horniness of the Touch of Charron gradually faded away. The “suckers” belonging to these cold tentacles reappeared, and at this moment they transformed into mouthparts for eating, swallowing up the fragments of power at an alarming speed.
There was a slight vibration in the disc.
The dark green crystal and the walking forest pattern embedded in the center of the disc shimmered at the same time, so the small lines spreading between the discs were quickly lit up, and the pattern that was originally used to mark Charron’s Touch Along the alienation route, the grooves carrying the light and shadow of the jointed limbs and sickle blades began to flicker continuously.
A somewhat dim and weak curve extended from this groove. It slowly crawled along the surface of the disk, and finally barely reached another groove next to it.
Then, amidst a series of intensive sounds of metal machinery, the disc change that Xiuge was most familiar with and most anticipated came. In the new groove, two extremely simple black patterns suddenly appeared – —It looks like two crossed sword blades, one long and one short!
Shuge immediately recognized the origin of this pattern. It was obvious that what Charron’s Touch was imitating this time was not an exact biological feature, but the essence of power derived from the Iris Guards. The long and short swords equipped by the Lan royal family to the Iris guards!
Xiuge even saw two somewhat special magic patterns on the handles of the two sword blades – they were not the iris decorations Xiuge was familiar with, but two strange lights and shadows that were faintly integrated with the sword hilts. It seemed to be some kind of soft-bodied creature swimming in the abyss of the ocean. It looked like some kind of strange octopus, but the head of this octopus looked extremely blurry, and the extended tentacles also had mouths and sharp teeth like sea snakes. tooth.
Unfortunately, the essence of power from the Iris Guards was too weak after all. With the help of this power, Charron’s Touch just “lit up” a new groove and outlined it. Just a pattern.
When the power of the essence was completely exhausted, the changes in the new groove on the metal disk also stopped.
Finally, in this new disc groove, a special crossed swords pattern was successfully engraved. Unfortunately, due to the lack of “raw materials”, it appeared with the other two grooves of Charron’s Touch. A very sharp contrast.
Whether it is Charron’s Touch itself or the magic pattern used to carry the changes in the limbs and sickle blades, they are both clearer and more specific than the two crossed long and short swords.
With deep curiosity and doubt, Shuge summoned the Touch of Charron, and as his thoughts turned, the ends of the black tentacles coiled and suspended around Shuge’s body immediately began to change. They were originally sharp and ferocious. The insect joints and limbs dissipated one after another, replaced by a black sword blade with different handle lengths but the same sharpness.
The ends of these blades are tightly combined with Charron’s Touch, so it looks like there are countless black ropes and ribbons controlling these ominous sharp blades.
And when Shuge tried to issue attack instructions to these sword blades, a large number of instinctive memories from the Iris guards immediately emerged. Under the sensitive control of the black tentacles, the Iris swords in these self-guard memories imitated The long and short sword blades that came forward immediately swung and struck at an astonishing speed. They did not interfere with each other and danced at an astonishing speed. Every time they attacked and retreated, they showed characteristics very similar to swordsmanship.
This tricky and ruthless attack method was in sharp contrast to the rough attack instructions Xiuge had given in the past.
“Interesting… It seems that these tentacles can not only learn and imitate biological characteristics, but also simulate weapons based on the memories they have absorbed, and reproduce how to use the weapons?”
While Xiuge was thinking this, he pointed at a huge building stone and gave the order to attack.
After a brief pause, these “sword-wielding Charron’s Touch” immediately waved up and down at an astonishing speed. Those long and short swords simulated with hard carapace and horn were like sharp and tough carved swords. The knives left a series of marks on the stone, and they even “carved” the stone into a simple portrait according to Xiuge’s thoughts!
After testing the usability of Charron’s Touch, Shuge raised his hand. The familiar black horns once again covered his palm, but this time, they did not form sharp black claws. , but a black long sword exuding chaotic light and shadow formed in Xiuge’s palm.
Following the memory and instinct from Iris’ personal guard, Xiuge stood up on the spot. He gently shook the special weapon extended from Charron’s Touch. Inadvertently, he had already made a move. An extremely professional sword preparation posture.
If there are people who are familiar with the Iris guards present, they will definitely find that the temperament exuded by this young man who has never received any systematic swordsmanship training is almost the same as those of the extremely experienced swordsmen of the Delan royal family.
And the magic light and shadow emanating from the pitch-black sword added a cold color to him that people couldn’t help but retreat from.
“Okay, I admit… I’ve been a bit neglectful of you for some time in the past.”
Shuge looked at the black sword in his hand, which obviously still had a lot of room for improvement. He smiled and shook his head. Then he warned Charon’s Touch very sincerely: “Remember, if there is anything real in the future, If you need it, you must tell me in time…just like the other two guys, do you understand?”
Then the black tentacles gently swayed twice, as if asking for credit, and also seeming to nod in response.
