infinite blood sorrow

What's more, he has already lost, but not to Estes.

"I'm tired." Mo Ao said lightly. "I don't want to fight for the outcome of the gambling fight."

"Do your best, burn yourself, and prove yourself right no matter what. This kind of behavior is too ridiculous, too powerless, and too tiring." Mo Ao changed the subject. "So, it's better to leave it to you."

Mo Ao slowly raised the clean dust in his hand, stretched out his hand and wiped off the engraved blood on it——[Yanling·Seven Deadly Sins] has a great effect on Wuming, but it doesn't have much effect on Esthers.

"I don't want to prove myself right anymore, so you guys have to prove me wrong."

Hearing Mo Ao's speech, Esdeth rolled his eyes, but laughed, and said, "What an arrogant speech!"

"However, that's exactly what it should be!" Estes laughed loudly. "Have you finally shed that disgusting weak face and admitted that you are as strong as me?"

"How is it possible? I am still weak! There is still an endless road ahead of me, and there is a peak above me that needs to be looked up to. My goal and my vision are far higher than this. Not enough, what kind of strong is there?"

"Esdes, I am different from you. You have stayed in the number one position for too long, and no one has told you the scenery beyond, so before that justice Virgil appeared, before I appeared, you It will be stagnant for so long. However, for me, the scenery in my heart is infinitely far away, and the road ahead will never end, so I have to move forward with humility. changed."

"But!" Having said that, Mo Ao paused for a moment, showing a smile very similar to Esdeath's style. "Humility and arrogance are not contradictory, are they?"

"At the end of the day, the human heart has its strengths, but it also has its softness. That's why it longs for companions and longs for a home. Even you, don't you long for someone who can welcome you with a pure smile after a battle? Are you going home?"

Estes was taken aback when he heard the words, and his face became complicated and tangled for a while, as if to say, 'How do you know? '.

Although this idea has been discarded by her for a long time, she has to admit that in the short time when she looked down on the world and reached the peak; there was no scenery ahead, and there was no one looking back.But she once felt lonely for a moment.However, this kind of weak thought has long been thrown into the corner of her memory. If Mo Ao hadn't mentioned it suddenly, she would not have remembered such a thing.

"Is it your companion theory again?" Estes snorted.

"I have no intention of arguing about the right or wrong of this set of rhetoric, it's just the basis for my actions." Mo Ao shook his head. "But also because of this, those who have been accompanied by loneliness and shaken by it."

"There is no right to deny me!"

"That's a pity." Estes flicked his long blue hair, held the knife horizontally in front of him, and slowly pulled it out. The blade of the knife reflected his sassy smile like a mirror. "Because if you can't go back, the so-called home, it doesn't make any difference whether it exists or not."

All of a sudden, there was a flash of cold light, and before the words fell completely, the gradually violent maneuver between the two of them turned into a substantive explosion, and Esdes first slashed at Mo Ao's face.

Clang!

Such an unpretentious frontal slash was naturally blocked by Mo Ao. Mo Ao held Esdeth's saber and circled it along the force.Both of them were holding knives in one hand, and it was the situation where the door was wide open to each other. Mo Ao blasted out a rising dragon fist from bottom to top.

The next moment, I saw Esdeth leaning his body, pushing away Mo Ao's fist slightly with one hand, and at the same time clasping his wrist with his backhand, the freezing air burst out, covering half of Mo Ao's body like ice.

Half of his body was restrained, and before Mo Ao could react, Esdeth threw away the saber with the other hand and took it back first. A pair of punch-like things were attached to his fist, and it suddenly penetrated into Mo Ao's body.

Once the move was successful, Esdesi took the initiative to retreat, but saw that the punch was left on Mo Ao's wound.Esdeth pushed away for a moment, and saw that the fist seemed to lose its limit, countless huge spikes appeared on the surface for no reason, and erupted from Mo Ao's body, almost completely tearing his entire chest.

Even so, Estes still didn't let go of her attack. She stretched out her hand, and a huge ice that covered the sky formed in the sky, and smashed down on Mo Ao.

Inject the compressed ice creation into the human body, and then let it unfold?Estes usually has a heroic fighting style, and Mo Ao didn't expect to suddenly come up with a trick. Looking at the somewhat petty killing technique, he doesn't know who he learned it from.

...Zheng!

The sound of the blade cutting across the air at high speed, the huge ice falling from the sky was split into two before it hit the ground, the cut surface smoothed into the mirror, and fell on both sides of Mo Ao.

The huge ice block was cut in two, revealing Mo Ao who was under the ice, the wound on his chest had long since disappeared.The cracked ice trembled slightly and moved in a confusing way, and Esdeath suddenly felt that he had lost control of that part of the ice.

I saw that the ice that should have fallen spontaneously gathered together and formed one piece. The thin and wide ice hung high in the air, like a vertical curtain.

Endless death and murderous intent spread from the ice curtain, and the mysterious and mysterious alchemy field quietly opened, and the undetectable mighty force plundered the ice of Esdeth and gathered it.In the end, it turned into a lore blade that seemed to be cut by its [sharpness] just by looking at it.

It is not sharp, not smooth, and even the cut surface looks extremely rough. Its shape is like a piece of debris that has naturally fallen off from an iceberg, and its corners are far from being called "sharp".

However, at this moment, just looking at the ice, the impression of 'unstoppable' will be involuntarily produced in my heart.

Under this mighty force, everything in the world is inseparable!

Word Spirit Judgment!

Chapter Two Hundred and Five

[Word Spirit Judgment], its alchemy domain means [death].The effect is "endless death". (Note ①)

In other words, in fact, [Judgment] does not need to be in the form of [Sharp Blade] to bring about death by cutting.Within the realm of judgment, the Spirit Words can theoretically bestow death at will.

It's just that Judgment is a very high-ranking word spirit, not a power that the human body can control, and in addition, the only one who has "Judgment" since modern times is mentally incomplete.Therefore, Judgment often appears in the form of [Sharp Blade] in her hands, giving death to others by cutting it off.

To sum up, the attribute given to an object by [Judgment] is not [sharpness]—it is not "it can be cut because it is sharp", but "it can be cut because it will kill you if you cut it off".The power of judgment is "lethal" itself.

But I have to say that sending [Judgment] in the form of [Sharp Blade], appearing in a specific form rather than a concept of nothingness, makes it a lot less burdensome.

At this moment, out of the control of Esdes, the rebellious ice turned into a thin iceberg and smashed towards Esdes.

It is a sharp blade that cannot be resisted no matter what, whether it is an indestructible shield or an ice wall at absolute zero, this ice front is a weapon born purely to incur death. From the moment the alchemy field unfolds, Esther Si cannot avoid the fate of being cut off.

The thin ice like a curtain easily broke through all the defenses that Esdeth tried to stop it, passed through Esdeth's body from the middle, and then went through the zenith of the Well of Annihilation, falling Into the "sea" of heaven.Finally, after exceeding the scope of the Judgment Domain, it lost its strength and collapsed into ordinary ice chips, which slowly melted in the sea.

A large amount of sea water leaked from the gap cut in the zenith, but the gap quickly repaired itself at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it returned to its original state in a short while.

Wuming, half kneeling on the ground recovering from his injuries, looked up at Esdeth in pain. The ice curtain just now undoubtedly passed through her body, cutting her in half from the middle... Although he doesn't want to admit it, but in the current situation, if Esdes loses, he alone may not be Mo Ao's opponent.

Esdeath maintained the posture of holding one hand in front of him. Although the ice curtain is thin, it is not infinitely thin. The blade and its body only have an obvious width, and at this moment Esdeth's body, this width It is also vividly reflected-Esdeth's body is split in two and there is an obvious distance between each other.

However, even so, Esdeth's body did not shed a drop of blood.

I saw Esdeth's body cut in half turned into blue ice, floating in the air, and then gathered in front of Mo Ao, condensed into Esdesh's appearance, and brought a gust of snow.

The cold wind blew on Mo Ao's body, forming a thin layer of frost on his clothes.

"...The essence of your Teigu demon, the ice demon used as the material, should not be able to achieve this level." Mo Ao frowned and glanced at the frost on his body. It should be impossible for the body surface temperature to form frost.

Even those super dangerous species that have never appeared in the plot should not have such a strong power.It would be better to say that if the so-called ice demon possessed the ability to invalidate physical attacks, the first emperor probably would not be able to kill that guy and make Teigu.

With the improvement of vision, is he also becoming stronger rapidly?

Just like what Mo Ao said just now, he has seen peaks that are far stronger than himself, and he has seen what those strong people look like, so in his own eyes, he will always be the "weak" side, Go forward with humility and caution.

Estes was originally limited by her "vision". She has been number one in the world for too long. Although she is still pursuing progress, the number one position in the world still makes her slack off, so in the original plot , when she finally had nothing to do, she would want to cultivate an opponent by herself.

And when the reincarnation intervened, Esdeth also saw a more beautiful scenery... In a sense, she, like Mo Ao, was the kind of guy who had no bottleneck from beginning to end.It's just that Mo Ao restrains his own growth, while Esdeath's growth is restricted by the world itself.

So after meeting the reincarnation... or, after meeting Mo Ao, did Esdeth's growth speed start to leap again?

"I'm curious." Estes and Mo Ao were less than half a meter away, she said with a smile on her face while looking at Mo Ao steadily. "Even though I have become so strong, you still caught up with me easily."

"What is your reason for becoming stronger?"

"...Didn't I say that kind of thing countless times?"

"Unlike you, who like to fight to the death, I am very aware of my own weakness, and I don't think about being invincible. Even if the strong are always strong, there will be times when they are weak. At this time, I can accommodate me. A home is something that you despise as weak. A place where you can rest when you are tired, a place where you can recuperate when you are weak, a place where you can cry when you are sad... and I want to protect these places... ..."

"Ah! I became strong in order to be weak." Mo Ao let out a long breath, and looked at Estes with a trace of helplessness. "Anyway, if I say so, you must not be able to understand."

"Where to go? That's right, I don't need that kind of thing." Esdeath remained unchanged, as if stating a certain fact.Now that she was used to Mo Ao's "frustrated" appearance, she would not be as angry as she was at the beginning.

"Our gamble is to see who can have the last laugh, right?" Esdeath offered. "But we don't seem to have set a time limit?"

"...Hey~" Mo Ao sighed.

"I've said that the outcome is meaningless... But if you want it, it's better to use the so-called 'last'..."

"Set it at this moment!"

Clang!

The tachi and the saber collided at a very close distance, the two sides oppressed each other and exerted force continuously, and each other's faces were infinitely close to each other through the sword.

"I can't wish for it!" Estes said with sassy pleasure on his face.

The high temperature evaporated the frost, and the white steam seemed to drift between the two of them. In the windless Well of Annihilation, violent blowing snow suddenly blew, and endless icicles spread from the ground, like falling into the polar region!

Zheng!

Amidst the clear metallic buzzing, Mo Ao and Esdeth parted ways.The next moment, the raging flames rose from the blowing snow.With the howling sound in the wind, the two rushed towards each other again.

The world is filled with two extreme and diametrically opposed mighty forces, Purgatory and Frozen Earth, colliding with each other at this moment!

Word Spirit·Bronze and Fire!

Note ①——【Judgment】=【Endless Death】This concept is the setting of Jiangnan's discarded manuscript, which was born during the serialization of Long San's novels.In the original design [Judgment], the word spirit even had the ability to kill the White King, but it was not adopted in the end.But whether he uses it or not has nothing to do with me as a fan writer.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Wuming, who was caught between the polar region and the Hell, retreated silently, trying to stay away from the aftermath of the battle between Mo Ao and Esdeth as much as possible.

He supported his shoulder with one hand, which was completely severed by Mo Ao. Before he fully recovered, if he let go of his hand, the bone and flesh would easily collapse under the natural force of gravity.

On the other hand, it's not that he doesn't want to leave, it's just that he is in Zanran Township. Unless he can split the space and escape outside, this level of struggle is meaningless.

Ignore Wuming who consciously lowers his sense of existence, and turn his perspective to Mo Ao and Esdeth.

It was completely unexpected, but Mo Ao was at a disadvantage for a while.

The relationship between fire and ice has always been that the stronger is always stronger. Although Mo Ao has now mastered super-high temperature flames, in the final analysis...his job is not to play with fire.

The means, experience, and methods of fighting can all be supplemented by one's own quality, but some things in ability cannot be supplemented.

Esdeth's ice ability has risen to the level of "idealism" as early as the development of Moko Potmo. It is easier to understand, Esdeth has separated the concept of "freezing" that he understands, And in doing so forcefully distorts the physical nature of reality.So as to achieve the inexplicable phenomenon of [freezing time].

And compared to the early exploration period when crossing the river by feeling the stones, Esdeth now has a better control over his abilities.Mo Ao's fire and her ice are not so much fighting against each other, it's better to say that Mo Ao is just offsetting her ice with fire.

And... the only offset is ice.

Mo Ao drew back, frowned, clenched his fist tightly, and shattered the frozen flame in his hand.

[Fire] This kind of thing should not be frozen.

As I said just now, in Estes, the two concepts of [freeze] and [cold] seem to have come out independently, becoming what she wanted.

But in contrast, Mo Ao's fire is just fire.No matter how high the temperature is, it is just an ordinary fire.

If he had strengthened something like Kusanagi's Fire back then, if he had come all the way by playing with fire, he might be able to distort real physics with another unreasonable phenomenon of [burning] just like Estes.Unfortunately, he is not a professional fire player.

His fire couldn't handle Esdeath's ice, let alone kill her.

......The speed of this woman's progress is really terrifying!

Mo Ao sighed secretly, dissipated the flames from his body, the turbulent breath calmed down, and the alchemy domain disappeared.

He has just broken through, and he doesn't have a very clear understanding of his abilities. The flame ability can only be regarded as a bonus after the breakthrough, but it is also a king-level fire, and he thought he could use it to deal with Esdesh , Now it seems that he thinks things too lightly.

There are many similar freebies, but Mo Ao doesn't plan to use them anymore.

Estes didn't stop attacking just because Mo Ao withdrew the flames. At this point, both of them knew that the battle would not end if there was no result. possible.

The ice-made saber came head-on, and Mo Ao's left hand made a slash of heavenly feathers calmly, and swung the saber horizontally with his backhand, hitting him hard and deflected.Immediately let go of the handle of Tian Yuyu's chopping knife, hold Jingchen with both hands, and take advantage of the momentum to turn around 360 degrees and perform an inverse cassock chop. (Note ①)

The dust-cleaning knife was extremely sharp, cutting Esdesh's body from bottom to top, but what splashed out from the cut was not blood, but ice chips.

Even if it is burned, it can be solidified again, and even if it is cut off, it can be reunited. Now it is very difficult to even cause her harm.Mo Ao thought with a serious face.

The split of the body into two parts had almost no effect on Esdeth. Although ice chips burst out from the section, it was still reattached together, and there was no missing part.Estes reached out and clasped Mo Ao's wrist, and Mo Ao's wrist was covered with a thick layer of ice almost instantly.

At almost the same moment, red electricity flashed in Mo Ao's hand, spreading down to the ice layer on his wrist, and the pure material decomposition force acted on the ice in the flash, and the thick ice layer cracked and melted.

Immediately afterwards, the red electricity spread to Esdeth along the part where Esdeth was holding Mo Ao's wrist.Sensing the movement of the red electricity, Estes turned his own flesh and blood into ice, and then, under the action of alchemy, the ice was instantly sublimated, changing from a solid to a gaseous state.For a moment, a huge amount of steam exploded in the entire space like an explosion.

However, before the large amount of steam can completely spread out, the water vapor in the air re-condenses into extremely fine ice slag, which spontaneously stops the explosive expansion, hovers in the air, and immediately shrinks back at the same explosive speed.

Mo Ao's face changed. If these ice slags were allowed to gather directly like this, he, as a part in the middle, would definitely be pierced by these ice slags - he didn't think Esdesh's ice could not do this.

For no reason, there was a gust of hurricane in the confined space, and the fine ice around Mo Ao was forcibly sucked into the wind.I saw those fine ice forcibly gathering in the air against the wind, and turned into a human form again, and turned into the appearance of Esdeth.

The recovered Esdeth waved his hand, the violent wind stopped abruptly, and the tornado turned into solid ice and froze in the air.

Even if the ice is sublimated into steam, won't it have any essential impact on her?Although Estes turned into ice, it was only a change in physical form, which seemed insignificant.

Mo Ao was at the center of the hurricane, while Esdes was at the edge of the hurricane. Now that the wind roll was frozen, both of them were locked in the wind by the tornado-shaped ice.

Looking up at Esdeth standing on the high ice, Mo Ao couldn't help feeling a little distressed.

Basically all the means that can be used at the physical level are used, but all of them have little effect.Do you want to attack directly from the soul level?But attacking this kind of thing from the soul level...he is not good at it!

Fire has no effect, slash has no effect, physical form change has no effect...

But fortunately, in terms of being helpless against the other side, the other side is also the same—both sides are troubled by not being able to kill the other side.

It doesn't matter, compared to Estes, Mo Ao is a methodist, and there are many methods that can be tried.

"...The [ice]... Strictly speaking, it's not [ice] anymore!" Mo Ao was thinking to himself, with a blue light in his hand.

Mo Ao's current feeling towards Estes is like an illiterate who suddenly acquired the ability of "idealism", distorting the physical rules of the world into various inexplicable and incomprehensible ways.

"Are the parts that make up the body [special], or can they be directly replaced with ordinary ice?"
