Chapter Seventy-Four: The Night of the Flames, at Scarlet's Feast)
Chapter Seventy-Four: The Night of the Flames, Scarlet's Feast (I)
Waiting for the dawn is a hard job, and it is a torment to be unable to sleep under a huge crisis and let the pendulum of time linger in your heart.
Although Alyssa and Arthur were able to support each other for the time being, the threat from Chaos Uroboros did not abate.
Arthur knew there was something about him that attracted Uroboros.
Aragami is intelligent, especially the large Aragami, and the knowledge obtained by devouring it has made Aragami grow extremely fast, directly skipping the tedious evolution period, and has wisdom comparable to that of humans.
The moment he ate Aragami's flesh and blood, it had already begun, and some kind of danger was hovering in Arthur's heart, since he ate Aragami's flesh, he was able to consciously perceive Aragami's approach, which he couldn't feel before, and when Uroboros appeared, he knew that it was specifically here to prey on him, otherwise, he wouldn't have let Nanami attack him directly at that time.
I can't say, he cheated Alyssa once, well, she also cheated him, in short, they don't owe each other.
"Na...... Are we going to wait for the dawn to act, first of all, we must find the Divine Machine, I think our Divine Plane should be nearby, right? โ
Alyssa tightened the clothes Arthur had sewn, perhaps moving closer to this side because of the cold.
"Hmm...... Wait, that guy is here!! โ
Arthur's confused state stopped instantly, and his heart beat violently, that guy is here, Uroboros!!
"What?"
Alyssa hadn't reacted yet.
"Boom!!"
The whole cave shook violently, and some broken stones fell from the top.
"Woo~"
Like a violent Siberian wind, the wind blew into the cave and extinguished the fire in an instant, but a light illuminated the cave, and something blocked the entrance to the cave.
After seeing it clearly, I realized that it was a compound eye that was glowing.
"That!!"
Alyssa hugged Arthur tightly, his body became extremely cold, and his spirit shook violently.
"Calm down, Alyssa."
Arthur took a deep breath and took Alyssa in his arms, picked up the black knife on the ground and slashed wildly towards the hole.
"Whoa~"
Uroboros didn't notice for a while, one of the pupils was severed, but this only increased its anger, and with a large number of compound eyes, the loss of one eye was not a serious injury.
The power gradually gathered, and beams of light from the eyes entered the cave.
"I'm so meow, you hang !!"
Arthur looked at Uroboros' attack, and suddenly rolled his eyes, this is a laser beam! ~
"Aragami originally has all kinds of special attribute attacks, especially large Aragami."
Alyssa chuckled at Arthur's complaint, at this time she still had the heart to think about this, well, anyway, she was quiet, I don't know why, I always have a sense of stability after listening to Arthur's words.
"We've got to get out of here, we're totally lucky we didn't shoot this time, next time we won't have such good luck, listen, I'll attack its compound eye, and then you immediately run out and keep running, leave me alone, hear no!!!" I took a closer look at the fall, and the direction where our god plane fell should be about 60 degrees to the northwest. โ
Arthur let go of Alyssa, took a deep breath, and rushed over with the black knife in both hands to open the blood-devouring mysteryโ
"Roar Woo ......"
A crack was cut out of the compound eye's giant face, and it took a step back, just enough for a person to pass through.
"Let's go!!"
Arthur bought time, not giving Uroboros a chance to react, and continued to slash.
"Wait for me, don't die!!"
Alyssa bit her lip and rushed out, she knew very well that even if she was with him, it would only be a burden, and now there was still a chance to find the magic machine, of course, Arthur must be nine deaths in the face of this huge Aragami, maybe......
She came here to avenge her parents after hearing that there was a desolate god [Heavenly Father Diaus] who killed her parents in the Far Eastern Branch, but now if Arthur dies, then she will have one more Aragami to kill, she doesn't want to carry so many things, so she has to race against time to find the divine machine.
"Ah, I'll wait for you, a man's oath that will never expire at any time."
The black knife in Arthur's hand slashed non-stop, and he would never die, because the snow was still waiting for him under the snow.
*
"Yo...... Came back too late! โ
Arthur looked at Alyssa, who was panting and sweating, and gritted his teeth.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorryโ"
Alyssa hurriedly picked up Arthur, who was covered in blood, and there was a shocking bloody hole in her chest, and blood was stained all over her hands.
"A woman's tears are a man's fragility, as the book says, so make me stronger, I have fulfilled my promise, and I am still alive until you come back, don't worry, I'm just too tired to rest.
Urobolos, it's that compound-eyed Aragami who was lured away by me, and soon it will come back if it notices that something is wrong, you go quickly, I can only dodge, if I can ...... with Nanami Even if the helicopter was contacted before, I was still saved, although I was not very lucky, but I still had some luck at a critical time. โ
Arthur patted Alyssa on the shoulder, the last flashbang ran out, and it was not so simple to deal with Uroboros, he could lead away once, but he couldn't lead away a second time, Ulopolos locked him to attack, really, the ghost knows why Aragami was so concerned about him.
"I'll take you with me...... For so many years, you are the only person I have spoken and chatted with so pleasantly, and you will never let you die. โ
Alyssa's gradually uncontrollable emotions were calmed by Arthur, she didn't want to continue struggling, maybe she should be brave enough to take that step.
"If you can't give it up, you can't get anything, maybe the world is cruel to you, it always makes you face difficult choices, the previous transport plane, the current me, if you can't give up, then the consequences are definitely only a dead end, you are lucky once, there will be no second time, Uroboros will come back soon, go quickly."
Arthur gritted his teeth in pain and said, rather than two of them being unable to be saved, it is better to let Alyssa ......
"I don't want to lose anyone anymore! I have come to my senses, I believe in you once, you have to believe in me, I will take you away. โ
Alyssa carried Arthur on her back and walked deeper into the mountains.
"Whoa!"
At this moment, the bright moon in the sky was instantly obscured, and the originally dark valley became even darker, and Uroboros instantly jumped in front of Arthur and Alyssa!
