Hell has invaded, but my Hextech is invincible!

Chapter 68 Second Teammate! Six-Star Bond! (3/3)

Am I going to die?

The concept of death became clear in Hextech's mind for the first time.

Every second, his body was being burned by hellfire, turning to ash and charcoal.

The excruciating pain told him that he was dying.

His eyes were burned to ashes, and he could not see anything at all; all he could see was darkness.

And Hextech Brawl, the only way he could stay by his side in the dark.

There is no backtracking, and no ad-hoc tasks.

The game interface clearly broadcasts his death process live.

The revolving lantern of death stretched his senses.

He used to be a professional e-sports player. When playing games, he was in a pressure-resistant position and never hesitated to sacrifice when the team needed to make sacrifices. He was used to being focused down and killed by the opponents.

Later, he became a streamer, playing PUBG and Delta Force. To make the show more entertaining, he would try every possible way to die once.

But death was still a very distant thing for him, who was in his twenties.

He did not live to see the end of his life.

Death is something we only brush with a few times.

He couldn't help but recall kneeling on the ground in the mourning hall when he was a child, watching his family cry their hearts out, not understanding why his grandfather, who would always bring him a piece of candy after finishing his farm work, was lying there motionless.

He wanted to call out to his grandfather, but the moment he touched his grandfather's body, all he felt was a cold, lifeless touch.

At that time, he had a preliminary concept.

Death is cold.

When he was in junior high school, his dog, Dahuang, which had been with him for three years, died after accidentally ingesting pesticide. Dahuang's cries and struggles before its death made him realize for the first time that death must be a very painful thing.

Death is painful.

Hextech is now experiencing this pain.

He's about to die, not from working up a sweat during a live stream, not from a serious illness, not from an accident, and not from a peaceful old age in bed, but from a life-or-death battle with the Demon Lord.

Painful and exhausted, yet unexpectedly, there was a special sense of honor that made my life worthwhile.

Less than 24 hours ago, he was just a third-rate anchor with a herniated lumbar disc, barely making ends meet by trying to please his audience.

Twenty-four hours later, he became the hope of millions in Manchester.

He personally slew thousands of monsters and defeated two ordinary demons, but ultimately fell in the duel against the Demon Lord.

This ending doesn't seem so bad.

Although I didn't get to travel to the world of Jujutsu Kaisen, I was recruited by Jujutsu High School and became a Special Grade Jujutsu Master to try out just how difficult Sukuna really is.

But his life-or-death experience was equally thrilling. He had just stepped off the bed in the laboratory, killed a group of guards, and then fought a battle with the United Front in the slums.

Not long after, he led the United Front to kill cultists, and in the process, he also fought a battle with the Crusaders.

Finally, he ventured deep into the cult's stronghold, but unfortunately got caught up in the gates of hell, where he fought monsters, ordinary demons, and the Lord of Hell!

This trip was worthwhile! This life was worthwhile!

His last 24 hours were amazing!

Thinking of this, he opened his mouth, which could hardly be called a mouth.

"Hahaha, too bad you didn't give me enough fun!" Hextech roared as if it came from hell.

The terrifying sound startled Carlodos, who was posing for a photo.

It instinctively distanced itself, looking warily at the black, solid mass that couldn't be called human. "You, you really aren't human!"

"You're finally going to reveal your true form!"

It felt somewhat apprehensive, but mostly delighted to have discovered the truth.

This person is either a special disguise of a demon lord, or one of those insectoid shapeshifters invading the human world!

It's definitely not human!

It's definitely not human! That means he's discovered another incredible truth!

It's not its fault if it gets messed up by a monster or demon!

Just then, the flames seemed to be affected by something, flickering and undulating, and ripples began to appear in the space, as if something was influencing the space inside the spire.

Kalodos's expression changed, and it tried to stop it, but the battle had exhausted the last of its essential strength. Its face turned deathly pale, and its body began to disintegrate uncontrollably. It roared, "Valeria!!"

"I am the Great Khan!!"

"You're actually going to team up with humans to fight me?!"

No one responded to the words. The ripples deepened, and a figure squeezed into the space from the ripples.

"Hextech! Hextech!" An anxious cry rang out, followed by a warm current flowing into Hextech's broken body.

The health bar, which was almost depleted, suddenly surged upwards, and the health regeneration, strength, resistances, and armor also increased dramatically.

Thanks to the restoration of his health, Hextech's eyes, which had been burned and blinded, finally regained a faint glimmer of vision.

He struggled to lift his eyes and recognized the person who had approached.

It's Inessa.

That familiar figure disregarded everything and crossed space, venturing into this infernal sea of ​​fire.

Pink and purple petals drifted around her body, and pink and purple buds bloomed and spread out from her bare feet, spreading out in all directions and forcefully blocking the raging hellfire.

The persistent burning pain in Hextech's body was instantly relieved by more than half.

Just then, a mixed voice came from Inessa's mouth.

"This is exactly the image I was aiming for!"

"A devout nun harbors chaotic emotions within her heart."

"In dire circumstances, an extreme sense of reliance and attachment arises for one's companions!"

"But an utterly hopeless reality separated them!"

"A devout nun, willing to break her priestly vows to save those she cherishes."

"Abandoning pure piety, willingly making a deal with the devil—"

"This kind of extreme emotion is simply too beautiful!"

Seeing the pink and purple petals fluttering around Inessa, Hex instantly understood that in order to save him, Inessa had chosen to let Valeria possess her.

Only after possessing the body could she possibly enter the third level of the spire.

She was like both a saintly saint and a witch deeply entangled in desire; it seemed that the fusion of these two special feelings made her even more extraordinary.

"You!" Hex was about to speak when Inessa gripped his only hand tightly, her eyes swirling with complex and unreadable emotions, and said softly but with unwavering determination.

"Hextech, no matter how it ends."

"We'll face this together."

What does she mean? Before Hextech could figure out what she meant, the long-dormant recruitment system suddenly lit up and displayed a clear system prompt.
