Chapter 256: A Desperate Situation from Joy to Sorrow
A qiē only happens in three seconds. romance debut ↖,
Hearing Pannis's shout, Vivien's body contracted and her legs bent, and the next action was to pop forward, leaving her original position for the first time, but just as she was about to pop out of her body, the girl's movements suddenly stopped, and a twisted arm had touched her body from behind, and it was still going deep into her soul.
Before her consciousness fell into confusion, in the eyes of the mage girl, she saw Pennis, who instantly rose to the highest speed, broke through the air and rushed towards her, and also saw Lina whose hands were gathering divine power, but Vivian knew that it was too late, and the twisted soul behind her was infiltrating her body at an extremely fast speed, once it coincided with her body, I am afraid that there was no way to get rid of it, only to see herself assimilated by it. It was only then that the girl really understood Pannis's previous description, these kinds of twisted souls were too dangerous, and even if they knew their weaknesses, there was no countermeasure in many cases.
"Is this the end?" Vivien suddenly regretted that she had dispersed the Psychic Blast, which had just been prepared for an instant, and if the Psychic Blast, if it was still active, she might be able to buy a little more time and delay until her teammates came to the rescue. But now he can't do it, with the distance of Pannis, even if he really turns into a lightning, he can't take himself out of place in time, and Lina's magic has not yet been released to the state of excitation, maybe only a second apart, but this second, often determines whether to live or die.
"I'm not reconciled, I just got a healthy body, my life has just started again, I don't want to die here like this senselessly. "Intense survival** was the girl's last thought before the twisted monster really touched her soul, but in the next moment, Vivien found that instead of thinking into confusion and madness as Pannis had described before, she heard several clear bones breaking. Feeling a huge impact coming from behind the side, his thin body flew up like a kite with a broken string with the impact of the force, rolling in the air and flying towards Pannis, who was rushing at the fastest speed, and in the process of rolling, when the girl's eyes turned to her original position, she saw a scene that made her almost crazy.
Where the girl was standing, the black-haired girl in scale armor took her place and stayed where she was, and the twisted soul that was about to submerge into her body was hugging the black-haired girl. Little by little, it penetrated into her body.
The mage girl in the air didn't have time to think about any other questions, including how many bones she had broken, including whether she would collide with Pennis, all of which were left aside by Vivien, the girl's fingers were frantically flicking, and in a few rolls, the mental explosion was ready, but she suddenly found that her magic really couldn't be released. Because in the fleeting vision, most of the body of the distorted soul has been submerged in Catherine's body, and at this time, if you release a mental explosion, you can only hurt Catherine, who has suffered the distortion for herself. And not the real enemy.
Pannis knew he couldn't catch up, and as a strong man who fully understood his speed and limits, he already knew he wouldn't have time to make any rescue when he first rushed forward at high speed. The reaction is just instinctive. At this moment, Pannis seemed to have passed through the barrier of time again. Back to a hundred years ago, back to the place where the nightmare began, at this moment, he seemed to see the black hair flying, the female knight who launched a fearless attack on death, and he could only watch, he could only helplessly let regret and self-blame gnaw at his soul in the corner, at this moment, he seemed to see the gaze from the eyes of his beloved, nostalgic, reluctant, sad, but with a little pity, the last gaze.
No, not as if, it was a real gaze, almost the same as the gaze of the deceased a hundred years ago with the same feelings from the eyes of the knight girl, looking at this gaze, Pannis's mind was already blank when he took Vivien, and he only knew that he was numb and mechanically moving his legs, and he didn't know what he was doing.
Lina's magic had been unleashed to the brink of the bring, and with a finger of her hand, a rain of divine light would fall from the sky and fall on Catherine's body. However, just as the girl's finger pointed out, her movements suddenly paused, perhaps for less than half a second, but this half second was a fatal half second.
The priestess didn't pause on purpose, but just as she was about to highlight the last syllable of the prayer, she suddenly saw and saw the twisted soul on the other side that had submerged half of Catherine's body raise her head in a coincidence. Under normal circumstances, no matter what she saw, Lina would not have any hesitation to release the magic spell, but this time she hesitated, because the twisted soul seemed to grow on Catherine's body, as if the head poked out of Catherine's body, although the face was full of madness and hideousness, although the appearance was wrinkled and twisted, it could still be vaguely seen that the face was six or seven points similar to Catherine, under the distortion, it was like Catherine's soul was pulled out of the body.
Lina, as a priest, can purify any harmful soul without hesitation, this is the duty of a priest, but the only thing she can't do is Catherine, who she regards as her own sister, and the priest would rather lose her own qiē, whether it is soul or life, than launch any kind of attack on Catherine. Therefore, when she saw that face, Lina stopped casting the spell uncontrollably, although she resumed casting the spell after an instant, but half a second was enough to change too many things, so when the divine light rain fell on Catherine, only a faint black mist floated on the girl's body, and the twisted soul had already drilled into her body, to be exact, it had been completely entangled with her soul.
Lina's eyes were round, the corners of her eyes were about to crack, and all kinds of magic were wildly released on Catherine's body, but they had almost no effect, and the twisted soul was still stubbornly entangled in Catherine's body, and Catherine, who was already on her knees with a blank gaze, did not move.
"Stop. Lina's hand that kept unleashing magic was suddenly pulled, and Pannis's dry voice sounded in her ears: "If you continue, it will only hurt Catherine." ”
"How is it possible, you ......" Lina was full of anger and just wanted to say something, suddenly felt a tremor from Pannis's hand, looking back, Pannis's face was as pale as when he first saw the temple in the depths of the grassland, there was no look in his eyes, dull eyes, just staring at the knight girl who was half-kneeling on the ground in a daze. The girl opened her mouth, and the anger caused by the frenzied action being stopped subsided in an instant, and she said in a hoarse voice: "How is it possible, eldest sister, she is a normal soul, how can she be hurt by divine magic." ”
Pannis didn't answer, didn't even have any change in expression, still looked at Catherine in a daze, in fact, he didn't need to explain, including Lina herself, who asked her, everyone could already see that the knight girl's body had begun to glow with a faint light, and the edges of her body had also begun to have a tendency to be unstable.
"Don't go over. Even in a state of distraction, Pannis still grabbed Vivien, who wanted to rush over, turned her head slowly, and said in a dreamlike voice: "Anyone who touches her now will be assimilated together, there is no other possibility." ”
"There's a solution. Vivien clenched her teeth, the girl had never felt so much hatred for herself, just because of her own negligence, just because she wanted to record more knowledge, and actually put her favorite sister in such a dangerous state. The girl had forgotten the pain of broken bones, and grabbed the hem of Pannis's clothes so hard that even her knuckles were blue, and her voice said intermittently: "Certainly, definitely, there must be a way." ”
Pannis was silent again, shaking his head feebly.
"You're kidding, Pannis. Lina looked at Pannis with pleading eyes, and said with a forced smile: "It's just a twisted soul, so many dangers have been experienced along the way, how can a twisted soul really hurt the eldest sister, you must be scaring everyone, the eldest sister will actually wake up in a while, right? Isn't it? This joke is not funny at all, haha, haha, haha." ”
However, Pannis did not laugh, still looked at her in a daze, only the laughter of the girl alone, hoarse and dry, like a desperate cry in the dark night, spread farther and farther in the silent world, and became weaker and weaker.
"Whew. The desperate laughter finally stopped, Lina's almost crazy expression returned to normal in a blink of an eye, wiped a handful of blood-red eyes without tears, and her voice was as cold as a terrible ice storm on a permafrost ice field: "Is there really no way?"
"Maya, they said that no one has been able to find a solution so far. Pannis was still silent, answering the manticore behind him, and Dilly, like a bystander, watched the transition from joy to sorrow in less than two minutes from beginning to end, sighed, and said to himself: "History is always strikingly similar, is the tragedy going to repeat itself again?" Kyle, alas. ”
"I see. Lina nodded, looking around at the girls like Catherine, "Is there anyone else who has a solution?
The expressionless artificial girl shook her head, facing Catherine, who has been treating herself sincerely since she left the institute, was on the verge of death, no one knows what she was thinking at this time when there was no way to save her, in fact, she who never showed her feelings, only a blank in her mind, what logical analysis, what system control, had all left her brain, and now she was only in a trance.
"Well, it seems that there is no way out. Lina walked towards Catherine, who was half-kneeling, with heavy steps, bent down to pick up the one-handed sword that the knight girl had dropped aside, and looked tenderly into the eyes of her most beloved sister and closest friend, and a desolate smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
