Chapter 324 The Shadow in My Heart
Long time no see. This greeting sounds very intriguing. In fact, just 10 minutes ago (or 20 days before the author delayed the draft), El was still fighting side by side with Tiana.But this sentence is not wrong, that beautiful girl like a fairy has indeed been blurred in memory.If it wasn't for being dug out from the depths of his heart by the illusion this time, El would have almost forgotten Tiana's original appearance.

The disfigured magician girl seems to be a broken pot, completely abandoning the aristocratic and ladylike demeanor that once fascinated El, and instead portraying herself as a powerful magician image.Her face with blood-red spider scars, if she doesn't wear a face mask, is enough to scare the little ghosts outside who don't know the truth to tears, even those followers who follow her are secretive when talking about this matter, subconsciously Avert your eyes and regard this as a taboo for Ms. Ranstadt.I am afraid that only El knows how weak a young girl's heart is hidden under her strong appearance.

Of course, none of the above is the point of the problem. The point of the problem is——Why did Tiana, who was so beautiful in my impression, appear at the end of her path?Why was she in charge of executing Tika?
As Cyprus said before, no one can answer El's answer to this question, the answer only exists in El's own heart.This is the manifestation of his inner world, perhaps just a subconscious that he has not even noticed, but since it exists, there must be a reason for it.

"Why you?" Al blurted out subconsciously.

"Why not me?" Tiana stretched out her hand to gather the fluttering hair around her ear, and tilted her head to show El a seductive smile.

"When we first met, I told you that I would bring you disaster." The girl looked at El with an innocent expression, and said softly, "What do you think about the woman who crawled out of the dead? Everyone will find it suspicious, right? But you were confused by beauty and insisted on saving me, a stranger. If you hadn't done this at the time, the curse sect would have never been able to find the village hidden in the mountain, and Tika didn't have to follow You come out for an adventure."

"You are a person who is both talented and unwilling to be lonely. That village can't trap you. For you, leaving is just a lack of reason. But Tika is just an ordinary girl. If you didn't bring her out If so, maybe she will find another reliable man in that village and spend the rest of her life in peace."

Tiana's voice was not high, but every word hit El's heart hard.Before the battle started, just a few words dispelled most of the strength in El's body.

"So...you don't understand the reason why I'm here?" Tiana walked down the steps from the guillotine step by step, and came to El, with a meaningful smile on her face.

"It was because of me that you brought your beloved girl to this road of no return. She is dead, and I am still fighting by your side. Even the place you left for her in your heart is because of My existence is gradually thinning out. You are afraid, you are afraid that you will really fall in love with me, and then completely forget about that poor girl...so I am the enemy in your heart that you cannot face!"

El's lips trembled slightly, but he didn't refute.

"It's really sad. Looking back now, is it really love for Tika? If it is true love, why do you feel shaken in your heart? Don't you know that your feelings for her are actually just like treating pets? It's just that kind of love. You are destined to break through the world, and she is just an ordinary country girl. You know very well that she is not worthy of your status. You are ambitious and have high vision, even if you are looking for a woman Only by looking for a beautiful woman like me can I satisfy my self-esteem. So what is Tika to you? It’s just a tool to warm the bed..."

"Have you said enough? Bitch!"

El suddenly raised his head, his eyes were burning with faint blue flames, and he stared coldly at Tiana's eyes.

"Ah, are you getting angry when you're talking about something central? You're really an immature man." The girl smiled sweetly.

"I'm not educated, and my mouth is relatively stupid, so I never like to talk nonsense to others, and I don't like others to talk to me." El took a few steps forward with a blank expression, and came to the girl , said indifferently: "Do you think Tiana's appearance plus Laurana's broken mouth can become the shadow in my heart?"

"Ah, it seems like I did something superfluous." The girl covered her mouth in surprise, looked around, and said with a smile: "Am I not right?"

"What you said is not wrong at all." El shook his head and said, "Maybe I have this kind of thought in my heart, so what? If you do something wrong, you have to put the blame on the woman. If you don't take any responsibility, it's okay." Are you called a man?"

"You can't deny the true thoughts in your heart." The girl said slightly displeased.

"Yeah, so what? Is it because of this small entanglement in my heart that I ran to others and cried? The woman I like will not let go even if she dies. Even the god of death can rotate positions. Why can't I Save a dead soul?" El clenched his fists and said firmly, the rune rays of light on his right arm were almost connected together, exuding inexplicable coercion when they gathered together.

"You want to change the rules of this world? What an arrogant idea!" The girl was startled by El's words, her eyes widened and she said subconsciously.

"This is my dream, and this is the path I want to take." El nodded and said, "Although it sounds unreliable, it is at least a hundred times better than you, an unfeminine bastard!"

After saying the last word, El rushed forward without hesitation. Before the girl in front of him could react, he strode past her and rushed to the guillotine.

"Little devil, what did you say?" It was just a sarcastic remark, but the girl's eyes froze for a moment. When she came back to her senses, a vein suddenly popped up on her forehead, and she turned around and waved her hand to grab El.

According to Tiana's main body's movement speed, it is of course impossible to catch El who is sprinting at full speed, but in this illusion, there is no reason at all.As the girl stretched out her hand, the air behind her suddenly twisted violently, and a giant fist of black rock that was so huge that it almost occupied half of the sky descended from the void and pressed down on El.

"Did you become angry from embarrassment when you were told about the central matter?" Taking advantage of this moment, El had already thrown himself on the guillotine, hugged Tika's body, and said reluctantly: "Listen to what you said I know the nonsense, you are a slut who cares about every detail and doesn't take responsibility, it's a hell of a slut like you to be liked by girls..."

The huge black rock fist suddenly accelerated, and it directly knocked down the ten-meter-high guillotine with one punch.Only then did the black rock giant reveal the upper half of its body in the void.

Even the fantasy world arranged by Adrian himself is not enough to bear the real coercion of the gold rank powerhouse, let alone this fantasy world born from the heart.Although the illusion itself has the ability to disguise and deceive, this level of illusion can no longer affect El's perception.But if a real simulation is carried out, a quasi-gold-level existence like an obsidian-constructed Titan may not be able to do it. It is the limit to be able to manifest half of the body.

The giant fist of black rock destroyed the scaffold, but failed to destroy the real target.There was only a loud noise, and the angle of the black rock giant fist suddenly deflected involuntarily from top to bottom.Although this angle is almost negligible, compared to the huge body of the obsidian-built Titan, this angle may cause obvious deflection.

El's figure appeared on the spot, holding the little maid with one hand, and resting the other hand on the side of the giant fist. The bones of the entire right arm were almost broken, and even the bones were turned out.However, the light of the runes engraved on his right arm was still bright. With the full power of six runes, when he raised his hand, his arm had almost returned to its original shape.

"I'm just talking, I didn't expect it to be true, Mr. Cyprus." El moved his newly repaired wrist without changing his face, and said with a curl of his lips.

The stunning girl in the blood-colored execution robe has disappeared, replaced by the strange boy he is familiar with, who calls himself the Fallen Leaf Sword Master, and is the only existence in this illusion with self-will besides himself.Al had some doubts at first, but when he saw Tiana who spoke, he suddenly understood.Since this illusion comes from one's own inner world, no one else should exist except oneself.If there is such an exception, it can only be the mastermind behind the illusion.

"You have found your own path, so you should leave here." Cyprus tilted his head, looked at El with a smirk and said, "Since you refuse to go, then as a senior, I have the obligation to leave here." It must be understandable to give some guidance to your life, right?"

"Are you so angry that you plan to use the big to bully the small?" El sneered.

"You're thinking too much, senior just wants to teach you the principles of being a human being." Cyprus stretched out his hand expressionlessly, and pointed at El lightly.A breeze passed by his side, and the obsidian-built Titan that appeared in mid-air behind him was blown by the wind, and quietly scattered into countless gravels and went away with the wind.

This is not the effect of the illusion, but the method of the Fallen Leaf Sword Master.Under the hands of Cyprus, a breeze can blow away the indestructible obsidian-built Titan, and the wind and sand disappear into the void, and then return from another void, just like a monster walking calmly in a hole in the void. The long snake locked the space around El in an instant.

"The man who can inherit the name of the Sword Master really is not in vain." El looked up at the wonders in the void and couldn't help admiring.

"Even if you want to flatter now, it's too late, I'm very angry now." Cyprus blinked and said seriously.

"It's because you think too much, I'm just telling the truth. Since you still have this strength, it's just time for me to verify my new toy."

El grinned and did the same to Cyprus, and he opened his hand, another newborn rune gleaming in the palm of his hand.

　Surprise?
