Embers of Embers

Chapter 565
There were no gorgeous pictures, just pure light and a roar that took away everyone's hearing.
After the holy white light passed, the vision gradually became clear from the flashing darkness, and a gentle warm wind hit me.
Haybold stood there blankly, and Clough behind him was also completely stunned. They looked up blankly, witnessing the smoke and clouds dissipating, revealing the ferocious thing behind it.
They hit, and Ascalon hit the wound of the sea serpent. The flowing fire of steel penetrated the twisted flesh, further tearing open the wound, and even penetrated it completely, breaking open a huge charred flesh.
It was a bloody hole that almost cut off the torso. The scarlet tentacles were dancing wildly. They pulled each other and worked hard to heal the wound and prevent the torso from collapsing.
But this self-healing was too slow, and the rolling light under the flesh and blood gradually dissipated, like a disappearing soul. Finally, the blazing temperature slowly dropped, no longer burning everything.
"Did we... win?"
Clough asked with some uncertainty.
He looked up to Him, never thinking that mortals were actually capable of hurting gods.
Therefore, Clough had a strange feeling in his heart. He couldn't explain it, but it was like an iron law that was once unshakable, and now there was the slightest crack in his eyes.
He didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing, but for some reason the words of the hunters rang in his ears.
The hunters will never let go of the beasts that have eaten humans. Once upon a time, the beasts were afraid of humans and were in awe of humans. But after they eat humans, they will realize that the once noble humans are under the influence of their sharp claws and fangs. The bottom is so fragile...
Nothing is unshakable.
Clough was enveloped in the warm wind and shivered.
"probably……"
Haybold responded, he was also a little unsure.
Tons of blood were pouring out of the sea snake's body. They were sprinkled on the deck, dyeing a large area red, and flowed into the clear water, turning it turbid.
Maybe they really won. The storm wandering on the Sea of ​​Silence began to move. This time it slowly advanced in the other direction. The speed didn't seem fast, but one could clearly feel that the Iron Curtain was slowly receding.
The pressure in my heart suddenly decreased, and the dark sky became brighter. Daylight regained the battlefield bit by bit, until the light filled every dim corner. The gradually calming sea was covered with broken ice, and the cold continent Just behind the sea not far away.
"Is this his true face?"
Haybold stared upward, his breathing quickened slightly, and his gaze seemed to be attracted by some kind of magic, constantly pulling at his sight, forcing him to stare.
The bright light on the snake's head also extinguished as Ascalon fired, allowing mortals to glimpse the true appearance under this glow. The dust that covered it dissipated, revealing these things that should have been forgotten.
It was a face as delicate as a handicraft, existing on the snake's head like a jade carving. It was weird and absurd, but full of divinity.
This is a sea serpent with a human face.
Looking directly at this huge face, Haibold felt no pressure, but felt an indescribable calmness. He noticed that the snake eyes on his face were tightly closed, as if he was sleeping peacefully, with the eyes in his pupils closed. All the fireworks were blocked, but the burning embers could still be glimpsed through the gaps between the eyelids. They outlined a band of light along the edge. It was also because of this that Haibold was lucky enough to see His true face.
Continuing to look at it, Haybold suddenly noticed that the face was very neutral, and it was difficult for him to distinguish its gender from the facial features.
His head was lowered, and there was a vague sadness in his peaceful expression, as if he was pitying the world.
At the moment Ascalon opened fire, the Sea Serpent also launched an attack, with its huge head hanging high above the deck. As long as it hits it according to its original trajectory, it is fully capable of sinking the Dawn Advance, not to mention He also carries the terrifying heat.
But all this ended with Ascalon's firing. At this moment, he was hanging quietly above without any movement.
Hebold didn't think that Ascalon's artillery fire alone could stop the Sea Serpent's actions, let alone that he was not killed at all. There were many opportunities to continue the attack, but the strange thing was that he did nothing now and was just so quiet. The ground stands on the Dawn Advance.
Heibald couldn't figure out what was going on. He just knew that they had stolen a little more time from the hands of death. Then he remembered something again, tried hard to move his eyes away from his face, and shouted in horror.
"Shrike!"
Haybold turned around and ran towards the ruins under the barrel, where there were bursts of blazing heat and molten iron flowing slowly.
He struggled to overcome many obstacles and finally found the weapons master who had almost lost his human form in the blazing wreckage.
The recoil of the shelling directly destroyed the Original Sin Armor, just like being hit by a heavy hammer. The battered skeleton could no longer sustain such damage. At the critical moment, it collapsed and shattered into twisted steel.
It can be seen that the weapon master's lower body was pressed under the overturned barrel. Hebold braved the high temperature and crawled to it. The scarlet flesh and blood still maintained a certain degree of activity. They were stretching with difficulty, with the hot iron. The water flows through, making a tingling sound.
"Shrike! Shrike!"
Haybold shouted repeatedly. He didn't know the structure of this thing, so he could only clumsily open the broken steel and try to dig out the shrike.
This was too reluctant, and Haybold's hands soon became bloody. He tore apart twisted steel one after another, tearing off layers of flesh and blood, but he could never find Shrike. traces.
"Get out of the way, I'll come."
There was a hoarse sound, and the scarlet monster crossed Highbold.
The epidemic doctor stretched out his hand, tensed his muscles, forcibly picked up the wreckage, and opened a corner.
"quick!"
The epidemic doctor said that after being tortured by the sea snake so many times, he was now extremely weak. Not only was he physically experiencing pain, but after being invaded by Lorenzo [Gap], he was also experiencing pain in his mind.
The whole person seemed to be torn apart, extending from the body to the soul.
Haybold didn't care where the monster came from, he rushed in, grabbed the blood-stained arm, and dragged the shrike out with force.
"Phew, you are still alive, this is so strong."
Haybold looked at the dying guy. Apart from admiring the shrike's extraordinary desire to survive, he didn't know what to say for a while.
The injuries on Shrike's body were not aggravated too much. The flesh and blood of the Original Sin Armor perfectly protected him, and even fed back to Shrike, making his physical injuries much better. However, correspondingly, the erosion cruelly destroyed his spirit. In the end, Shrike almost lost his consciousness and became a crazy beast.
Heibald didn't know this, he just felt weird. He remembered that not long ago, he was the one who carried the shrike out of the pile of dead people, and now he did it again.
"You owe me two lives now, Shrike."
Haybold said as he turned the shrike away from this bad area.
The doctor beside him also left when he was rescuing the shrike. He fell in a corner not far away, panting hard, maintaining his broken human shape, and the tentacles on his body were undulating, making it difficult to calm down.
Now the Plague Doctor really needs to form an alliance with Lorenzo. After the Blood Shark is destroyed, only the Morning Glory Advance can take him forward.
Shrike opened his eyes slightly. He was extremely weak. He seemed to want to say something and opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
He saw the towering hanging tower. Under the continuous battles, the steel had been completely twisted, and some were even attacked by high temperatures. Heavy molten iron fell, and the skeleton began to bend. Finally, with a scream, the hanging tower collapsed completely.
Shrike reluctantly raised his hand and made a salute gesture towards the ruins of the pendant, saying goodbye to the soul whose name he never knew.
Everything seems to be over.
"Lorenzo!"
After Seliu waited for a while, she walked out from under the bunker and shouted to the silent Black Angel.
There was no response from the Black Angel, and it fell into silence together with the Sea Serpent. Not only that, the Narwhal, which was some distance away from the Morning Glory Advance, also fell into silence, drifting on the sea without any reaction.
The plague doctor was different from others. He didn't relax too much. He witnessed the huge monster at the bottom of the sea.
"Don't let your guard down, the battle is not over yet."
The epidemic doctor shouted to several people that now they are in the same camp.
"It's not over yet?"
Clough couldn't help roaring.
All this is really a test of one's mind. In the crazy nightmare, Clough wanted to give up countless times. Fortunately, he survived until dawn, but now it is still not safe at dawn, and the nightmare is not over yet.
"Yes, the battle of reality is over, and the battle of will has just begun. That is the real battlefield, which determines the life and death of all of us."
The epidemic doctor said and knocked on his head, his ferocious look was intimidating.
"You mean..."
What Seleu thought of, combined with Lorenzo's words in everyone's mind, made her think of that enemy like the god of death.
"Power Gabriel, didn't Holmes mention it to you?"
The epidemic doctor showed a terrifying smile, playing with the fragile psychology of mortals. He looked at Seleu's expression that gradually stiffened, and he continued.
"Yes, that's the power, the same power as Lawrence."
"You mean, Lorenzo is now in the [interval] invading... the guy?"
Seliu was not affected by the epidemic doctor. She thought rationally and finally came to such a shocking conclusion.
She looked at the delicate and huge face. To be honest, she really felt like she was being looked down upon by God. His eyes were closed tightly, but the gaps were filled with light. It seemed that when He opened his eyes again, it would be the end of everyone.
"Otherwise? Do you think shelling can really kill Him?"
The epidemic doctor smiled sadly. It was really uncomfortable to face such a desperate enemy.
"Even if the bombardment is effective, He will have enough time to kill us all."
"Will Lorenzo face Him alone now?" Seleu asked nervously.
The epidemic doctor nodded. This was the worst part. He said, "Otherwise? Everyone here, is there anyone else who has the power Gabriel?"
"There is actually no difference between being killed and being defeated, Holmes."
The epidemic doctor looked at the silent black angel and whispered.
"Carnival! Let's indulge! Do whatever you want.
Whether it's venting or repenting, it doesn't matter, this is probably our last time. When Lorenzo can't hold on any longer and this guy opens his eyes again, it will be our death. "
The epidemic doctor's mood was extremely pessimistic. He couldn't think of any way to defeat it, not even to escape.
The day was vast and the sunlight was dazzling, but what awaited them was only dark despair.
Seleu stared at the silent black angel, which stood there alone.
She didn't understand the so-called power, nor did she understand the strangeness the epidemic doctor told. She only knew that Lorenzo was now facing the gods alone, alone.
"Are you... desperate? Epidemic doctor."
Seryu suddenly asked.
"You have done so much, starting a war with us, making a war with the Viking countries, making a war with the gods..."
Staring at the doctor with cold eyes, Seliu turned his head and looked at the doctor expressionlessly.
"Are you really willing to do this?"
The epidemic doctor and Seliu looked at each other. Facing his squirming and twisted face, there was no ripple in his blue eyes.
He smiled.
"Of course I'm not reconciled."
How could he be willing to do so? The epidemic doctor turned into a monster and swallowed sin. Everything he did was for today. How could he give up?
The epidemic doctor waved his hand and pointed to the end of the broken ice sea, the glacier continent covered with snow and dust.
"Then during the time Holmes is fighting for, rush over!"
The epidemic doctor was hoarse.
"Don't worry about what's on the road, just move forward! The sea water will break it, the ice will crush it! The enemy will kill it!
go ahead! "
After hearing the words of the epidemic doctor, without waiting for Seliu to react, the Morning Glory Advance began to move forward. It once again stirred up waves, pointed the angle of collision towards the end of the ice sea, and then fully turned on the power, and the melodious whistle sounded like a horn.
The epidemic doctor was a little dazed, and then he laughed even louder.
"It looks like someone has thought of going with us."
In the control room, Floki's eyes did not stay on the sea snake. He turned the steering wheel and sailed towards the north with a feverish expression.
Lorenzo woke up from the confusion. He looked around and saw that there was a heavy gray fog that could not be seen through, and a huge stone wall in front of him blocked the way.
This reminded Lorenzo of a conversation he had with Arthur. At that time, Arthur felt that the world after death was like this.
No matter which direction he looked, all that was waiting for Lorenzo was the gray mist extending into the depths of darkness, and the endless stone wall. When he raised his head, it towered into the clouds, with no end in sight.
This is a dead silent world.
Lorenzo stepped forward and touched the wall gently. It was once so strong and resisted the people who tried to cross the fence, but now it began to collapse under Lorenzo's touch.
Taking Lorenzo's hand as the starting point, the cracks continued to spread and collapse in all directions.
A crack appeared in front of Lorenzo after the broken dust. The interior was still pitch black with no end in sight, but this time Lorenzo chose to move forward.
Step into the dark.
