Ark, they don't revolve around you

"We... finally meet again..."

He suddenly woke up from the nightmare and looked at Lin Shi, with a subtle heat in the corners of his eyes.

"It is you."

Zhuang Ning murmured subconsciously, "You are indeed there, Precious."

PS: There are fewer words today because I need to think carefully about the plot of this volume.

Chapter 2 Let Him Sleep with Me in the Shadows

Zhuang Ning woke up from the hallucination and was in a trance for a few seconds. He breathed repeatedly and felt the red light burning in front of his eyes.

The light reminded him of a fairy tale, the little match girl.

If it is just hope, then when the last match goes out, will my dream end?

He shook his head to drive the thought out of his mind.

This result is not surprising. There are too many clues. Zhuang Ning might have guessed it a long time ago.

Precious.

When did he first recall this girl?

——When you swallowed up the fragments of the evil demon king.

After swallowing it, you saw her in the bizarre dream you had.

"You found me." Zhuang Ning whispered, "It turns out that so much time has passed."

It is actually ten thousand years long.

"Cough cough."

A light cough drew Zhuang Ning's attention.

Elki's face turned pale, as the prophecy hurt her.

"You have seen the future. What do you think, Demon King?"

Zhuang Ning was silent for a while, then whispered, "I should feel terrified, right? After all, in that future, I seemed to have been beaten... um, quite badly."

"I have no way of knowing the details. I can only let you see the broken silhouettes and guess the possible future from them."

"I know you want to comfort me, Ms. Elki." Zhuang Ning interrupted him.

He grinned, as if it was a matter of course: "I'm not afraid."

His calm face showed a strange indifference, as if such a future was really not worth fearing...

Elki was stunned.

After a moment, she remembered that this man was the devil. Perhaps he was walking on a tightrope and was already accustomed to so-called failure.

Thinking of this, she felt ridiculous for her own sentimentality.

Elki was about to speak again, but before she could do so, Zhuang Ning interrupted her.

He turned his gaze and looked outside the wooden door, and felt something bad through the barrier.

"A guest is here." He stood up, smiling, "Let's go take a look."

"Look at that enemy..." His voice was lost in the crackling sound of the flames.

……

……

ring.

The wind chimes hanging on the wood were blown up by the whistling cold wind, making crisp clanging sounds.

Whether as a guard or as a hunter, Typhon performed his duties conscientiously.

As a hunter who grew up in this land, she was used to the cold winter, but somehow, today she felt so cold that it almost froze her fingertips.

A white breath rises.

In a trance, she saw a dark color, which shuttled through the forest and killed the grass and trees.

Typhon knew this feeling very well.

That is the evil demon.

Not many people in Sami Glacier are overly afraid of this monster, because everyone knows that the evil spirits feed on fear - the evil spirits will unconsciously induce the illusion of fear.

But people can only be brave when they are afraid. The Sami warriors took the first step in fear and became stronger.

Typhon intuitively felt that the black color was not simple. The evil demon had no intelligence and was not like a wild beast. It was just like a walking corpse.

But the arriving black will dodge and come prepared, as if the purpose is to snipe someone.

"is it him……"

Typhon narrowed his eyes, and Zhuang Ning's face appeared in his mind, but he brushed it away from his mind as if mocking himself.

She had heard of the doctor from traveling merchants, from Elki, and even from the people of Rhodes Island stationed in Sammi.

Elki's prophecy said that he would be the one to lead the end, and if he failed, the shadow would start from the ice sheet, extend southward, and eventually engulf the entire land.

Merchants say the Doctor is an elusive figure, but has close ties to all the nations of Terra.

The people of Rhode Island admired Zhuang Ning even more, as if there would be no problems as long as he was there.

Typhon did not comment on this. This kind of worship was not uncommon, just like the Sami tribes respected the warriors of Tree Scar.

Now it seems that I was a bit naive. Maybe there really was something special about that doctor, and he could even attract evil spirits.

While he was thinking, Typhon had already drawn his heavy arrow, his eyes cheering everywhere.

The sound of the wind chimes became louder and louder, the wind was howling, and I don’t know when the falling snow in the sky was dyed black.

She saw a flash of extreme black that was like an arrow in her hand charging forward. The weapon in her hand swung up the snow on the ground and pointed at Typhon's head!

The weapon looked like an iron hammer, and just looking at it made one's arms numb, but when the user swung it, it was like extending his arm.

The area swept by the hammer was covered with a layer of haze on the snow. Typhon dodged it at the critical moment, without any doubt that even a single second of error would be enough to shatter her head.

But she was more shaken than this fact. She stared at the hammer, strung the bow, and whispered in a complicated voice: "It's you, Ectilnil."

The hammer belonged to Ectilnir, the most powerful man among the Sami, the Snow Priest of the Treescar Tribe.

He once led the tribe to announce his prophecies everywhere, and he also led the tribe to the north to wipe out the evil demons that came from the south.

But at this moment, there was no awareness of Sami's survival in his eyes, only empty darkness.

He is contaminated.

In Columbia's words, he became a collapsed body, and Sami's most proud warrior eventually turned into an enemy of civilization.

And now, this enemy must have come prepared, staring at Typhon intently, drawing his hammer, and assuming a flawless stance.

His fighting instinct was so deeply engraved in his mind that even if he lost all reason, just standing there made him tremble from the bottom of his heart.

Typhon swallowed his saliva, looked in the direction of the cabin, and was sure that Ectilnil was heading towards Zhuang Ning.

Neither Elki nor Zhuang Ning seemed to notice the collapse.

Thinking of this, Typhon held the arrow shaft, clicked his tongue, and chose to face the Wood Split Warrior.

He suppressed the fear in his heart, and even showed some compassion and grief in his eyes.

Maybe in the future, I will become such a monster...

By then, there will also be Sami's snow ritual to kill me.

Without giving her time to sigh, Ectilnil attacked again, faster and more fiercely.

Typhon dodged and drew her bow. She was extremely calm and the title of the strongest warrior did not seem to affect her.

Long ago, young Typhon developed a hatred for evil, a curse that stemmed from the death of his parents.

In order to get revenge, she followed the most experienced hunter in Sami and learned a lot from him.

One of them is to never let your prey see that you are vulnerable.

Mu Lie is very strong, and after turning into an evil demon, he is even more flawless.

But she is definitely hunting a lot of demons, and she must capture Ectilnir here!

The arrow fell and hit Ectilnil in the chest.

Typhon's heart sank, knowing that this attack was useless.

The monster before him seemed to have turned into a nightmare that no matter how badly it was injured, it would never heal.

After Typhon's arrow failed, he realized the depth. The corners of his mouth covered in black seemed to outline a faint smile with mockery.

Typhon, who was on guard against Ectilnil, was stunned.

Can the collapsing body...laugh?

No, it is absolutely impossible. These polluted collapsed bodies should have lost their sanity and turned into real monsters!

But there was clearly a kind of self-defeating mockery in that smile.

In just that brief moment, Typhon's weakness was discovered and Mu Li moved again.

He walked in the darkness, swinging his hammer, as if drawing an arc that could split mountains and crack rocks!

Typhon was unable to dodge Ectilnil's heavy blow, and the moment she was knocked away was unbelievable. The previous Wood Split Warriors were very strong, but not so despairing.

Why does one become so much more powerful after becoming a demon?

Typhon spat out blood and struggled to get up, but Ectilnil was already standing in front of her, stretched out his hand and stepped on her fingertips.

"Are you qualified to... hinder me?"

This whisper, with a hint of annoyance, came from Ectilnil's broken throat.

He was looking down from above, and a majestic darkness emerged. Typhon, who claimed that he had no fear, began to tremble even more violently.

what is this?

Why can the evil spirit speak?
