Chapter 868 The dormant madness

The forest is the cradle of life.

All kinds of life will grow and prosper here, and then decline and die, and the forest where this process is repeated will become stronger and stronger due to the cycle of life.

Human beings have long known that the blessings of the earth are hidden here, so they will take the initiative to enter the forest to find wealth and hope in unknown adventures.

"Looks like they're not ready yet."

However, as soon as Laurent stepped into the forest, he realized that he was locked by something dangerous.It was some kind of pure destructive desire, without any thought or reason, just wanting to destroy everything in sight.

It is the twisted end of human desires.

"Do you want to test me again?"

In fact, Lauren had already discovered that there seemed to be some essential difference between eternity and finality and the power of stars.Whether it is the end that evolved from the "World-Destroying One" or the eternity created by the people of heaven using prayers, it seems that the original life is forcibly transformed into another form first and then differentiated.

——In other words, the original eternity and finality did not actually appear from the planet.

"I'm ready, come on."

Following Laurent's announcement, roars of varying heights sounded simultaneously from the depths of the forest.Several black shadows broke through the obstacles in an instant and rushed towards Laurent at a speed that was difficult to track.

The frenzied beast opened its alien giant mouth and exposed countless vicious fangs. The moment it appeared, it launched a sudden attack on Loren.The beast, which looked like a ferocious wolf but was somewhat human-like, had planned to devour Loren completely from the very beginning.

"Is it the illusion of 'teeth', that is to say..."

Before Lauren could make an evasive move, other attackers appeared on both sides of him at the same time.A monster that looked like a land dragon and had human characteristics waved its crystallized black claws, destroying all the trees blocking the road. Another monster that looked like a large flying bird and seemed to have a human body unfolded its own The steel-bone wings cut off everything they touched.

The powers that were once bound by Loren now appear before him again as an avenger.

"Oh...so that's the case."

Although his body is filled with immeasurable star power, Lauren still doesn't know how to use it.So he finally activated the final fragments sealed in his body, the "horns" and "tail" of the "World Destroyer".

The berserk ends converged in an instant, and a huge black-red sickle was constructed in Lauren's hands. The alien-shaped blade was like a twisted horn, facing the fierce wolf that was rushing forward.And behind him, a black spear-like tail instantly poked out, stabbing the evil dragon coming from the other side.

This is the same power as them, and it is also a weapon that is enough to scare them.

"bring it on."

However, the crazy black wolf completely ignored the weapon in Laurent's hand. Even though his body was cut open by the sharp sickle, he still opened his big mouth full of vicious teeth and bit towards Laurent's body.

Chi-

The sharp black fangs pierced through the left arm that Laurent instinctively raised in order to parry. The muscles were torn and the bones were broken. The severe pain instantly interrupted Laurent's spirit.In an instant, the "heart" in his body began to beat violently, and the manic final power flowed throughout his body along his blood vessels, erupting into even more maddening pain.

"Give me... get out of here!"

The heart-wrenching pain made Lauren's sanity almost collapse, but thanks to the huge star power he had absorbed before, the primitive and chaotic life force forcibly maintained his spirit, preventing him from going crazy here. monster.

Throwing the scythe directly at Steel Wing flying in mid-air, Laurent directly grabbed the black wolf's neck with his right hand.The pain of being constantly eroded by the power of finality made his eyes bloody, and the movements of his hands became violent due to the restlessness of the star power in his body.

"...die!"

The spear-like shadow tail drove away the evil dragon, and then waved it into the air, leaving no gap for the steel wings that wanted to make a sneak attack.However, the ferocious wolf biting Lauren's arm still did not let go of its frantic fangs even though his neck was forcibly strangled.

——That is madness, the most distorted form of human desire for destruction.

Just as human beings unconsciously long for survival, human beings have also been unconsciously seeking destruction.This is the instinct of life and a fate that cannot be escaped.The "disaster" distorted by these wishes has transformed into an existence that can destroy human beings with the highest efficiency.

"Just a fragment... surrender to me!"

Roland, who was eroded by the madness, broke the black wolf's neck with one hand, and then punched the wolf's jaws that were still clinging to his arm.The fist filled with the power of the star was like a heavy hammer at this time, hitting the dead wolf's head until it was beyond recognition.

The body of the dead ferocious wolf quickly turned into thick black mist and melted away, but those sharp black ferocious teeth still remained in Loren's bloody arm.The final curse and erosion did not disappear, but turned into more crazy pain.

"At this level...you can't stop me!"

The surging star power burst out violently from his body as if he heard Lauren's wish.The fangs that pierced into the flesh burst out, and the other two monsters that had already bullied him were pushed back, howling in terror.

Together with the power he used, the finality wrapped around Laurent's body quickly disintegrated under the original tide of life.The pulsing "heart" fell silent instantly, and the sickle and spear-like tail needle that fell to the ground also quietly dissipated, no longer able to maintain their original form.

——Is this the power you have always longed for deep in your heart?
"My wish, what exactly... is it?"

The chaos pouring out of the body turns everything it touches into primitive life.The pure thing originating from the planet seemed to be protecting Lauren, melting and swallowing anything that might harm him.However, he doesn't know how to control these powers, nor why they want to protect him.

The clawed dragon and the steel-winged giant bird had already melted away in the tide of chaos, and Laurent knew that they were just the embodiment of the power of the beast fragments.If you continue to move forward, they will appear again.

This is not a trial or test, but a question that I still haven't found the answer to.Those monsters are actually the confusion that he has not yet eliminated. If he cannot defeat them, he will not be able to move forward.

"What exactly is it that I long for?"

Empty wishes echo in the gray chaos, reflecting hidden truths.

——Then the illusion in the memory swept over again.
