star guardian, but sword devil

a voice.No specific words, just a vague sentence.

Kevin shook his head, dismissed the voice, and poured water on the fire.The firewood hissed and a puff of steam rose.The embers died out, leaving him alone in the night.

Then he heard the voice again.Half whispering, half snickering.Could it be the sound made by bugs?Perhaps the howling of the wind blowing through the branches?

Or...something is watching him, happy and secretly happy.

He frowned, turned his head and glanced at the extremely dark bush - there was nothing there.

—————————————————————

The darkness was as usual, but this time the dream was very different.

He was running so fast in the dark alone that he felt the ground vibrate—wait, no.

He stopped, but the ground was still shaking.

A dim green light began to pulse in the mist, what looked like a patient's vein.At the same time, there was a rumbling vibration, which came together with the dancing light.

Kevin opened his eyes, gasping for breath.

Darkness as usual, but this time it's the real world.

Jinx stood tall and looked a little flustered: "Hey, Kevin, get up!"

"What's wrong?" Kevin rubbed his sleepy eyes, not knowing why: "No, why are you in my tent?"

"I……"

Jinx looked vaguely at the outside of the tent.I don't know if it's a hallucination, but Kevin seems to be able to see... a few... shivering lights in that dark world.

"I can't sleep, you and I go shopping!"

What a stupid lie.

Kevin stood up in silence, with a very bad premonition.

Could those flickering lights be...

The next moment, Kevin was dragged out of the tent by Jinx and pulled to a forest path outside the camp.

Even so, he could still see and hear the sounds of the battle.Jinx tugged at him with sweaty palms.

"Are you hiding something from me?"

Jinx was silent, and there was indeed a bit of guilt on her face.

"No...no. I just want to go to see the Jiaoyue Lake at night with you!"

"What about Lux and the others?"

"They... were sleeping. Yes, they were sleeping."

"you sure?"

There is a fresh scent of grass in the woods in the summer night, but there is a half-decayed old trunk lying on the ground, dotted with a few puddles of water, shining brightly under the pale sunlight... ...is that blood?

A hole in the earth was torn open, revealing the deep secret——

Kevin looked at Jinx, she didn't seem to notice the fission of the earth, but anxiously dragged him forward.

So, he lunged forward, shoved Jinx away, and all fell into darkness.

——I am the abyss?Or the one staring into the abyss?

[The time is up, the terminator of the world—here comes! 】

PS: Huh, no tickets...

Star Guardian: Chapter 15 Chapter 15 Aatrox: Are you qualified?

There is light under the ground, the key is knowing where to look.

The key is knowing how to look.

Kevin's head throbbed with stubborn and annoying pain, and the pain continued to increase.He raised his head desperately, and then wailed in pain.He opened his eyes and found that the big rock under his head was covered with warm blood.

He coughed a few times, spit out a cloud of sand mixed with sticky saliva, propped himself up with his arms, sat up, and looked around.

This is a large hole, about 30 meters in diameter, and a hole of hundreds of meters is opened vertically upward.

The exposed rock is a smooth color, like polished gemstones, but all upper surfaces are covered with a layer of dust.

The rock here seems to have been cut by...something, on a large scale.

Even modern technology cannot do this precisely without leaving a trace.

And where does the removed material go?Completely destroyed?

The cutting here should have happened a long time ago, maybe even thousands of years ago.

For some reason, Kevin suddenly thought that a piece of incandescent metal fell to the surface of the glacier, melted all the way down, and the side wall froze quickly.

Where am i?

Kevin clutched his injured arm carefully.It hurts, it hurts like hell.His hands and elbows were frayed, and there were bursts of stinging pain.

I'm still alive?Kevin raised his head and looked at the dark dome, not even seeing any stars.

I fell from above and am still alive?

incredible……

Miracle?

Slowly and carefully, Kevin straightened his legs and let out another moan—a movement that made his left knee ache.

He groped through his intact trousers, but found no swelling or extensive trauma.When he inhaled, he felt an unsettling stabbing pain from his side, and his back was convulsed, and even a slight movement would make him want to scream in pain.

I'm alive.I'll be fine.

Kevin crouched on the ground, his movements a little awkward.He moved his legs and feet carefully and slowly, changed a position that could protect his injured knee, then moaned and propped up his body, as if after a lifetime, he finally stood up, but dizziness also hit him immediately, blurring him His sight also made his feet go limp, and he fell heavily to the ground.

"hiss--"

damn it!He cursed in his heart.

There was a stubborn and annoying pain throbbing in his brain, and the pain was still increasing, and a little movement could make the pain worse.

I can't move now.

Just stay here and wait for help.

Tsk, I don't know what happened to Jinx and the others...

Hope nothing happens...

【Are you really just going to sit there? 】

Kevin sat up with difficulty and looked around.His head didn't hurt so much, and his eyes gradually got used to the deep darkness—in fact, it should be said that he was almost completely blind in the dark.Some fluorescent fungi cling to the rock wall, which is one of the few lights in this dark and narrow space.

Has anyone said anything?

【What are you looking at?I call.Someone heard.Someone is coming.I'm only interested in qualified people. 】

"Who are you?" Kevin trembled all over—whether it was because of the pain in his body or the depression brought about by this dark world: "What qualifications? What are you talking about?"

[Obtain my qualifications.When someone proves themselves, I know if they are qualified.Maybe that person is you. 】

"Get you? What are you?" There was someone—something talking.

But Kevin didn't know what that was.

[You don't have to know.Just letting me know you is enough.I'll keep calling until I find that person, and then I'll stop. 】

"You've been calling for me?" Kevin swallowed, and suddenly felt that there were many pairs of unknown eyes lurking in the darkness around him—a shocking fear flooded his soul.He pursed his lips, blood dripped from the corner of his mouth, and murmured: "So those voices are not hallucinations..."

[So you think I'm hallucinating, right? 】

"Are you... an Outer God?"

[Outer God?I am not a god, but I do come from another world. 】

"what?"

[In short, you are running out of time. 】

The voice gradually disappeared, and at the same time, the ground under Kevin's feet cracked again, and the gap turned into a deep ravine.

The mist rolled and dispersed, and a group of black insects like dogs crawled out, emitting a strange green light.

Countless soulless black pupils condensed out of thin air, looking up from the abyss.

Here they come...

"Oops!"

Kevin struggled against the pain, raised his head, supported the jagged rock wall and gritted his teeth to get up from the ground.His fingers worked faintly, and every muscle in his body seemed to be bleeding, as if an invisible pincer was squeezing his throat.

I have to get out of here.To stay here is to wait for death!

do not give up!Can not give up!

[Yes, move. 】

The violent dizziness hit again, but this time Kevin didn't fall - that would mean death.

He followed the fluorescent fungi on the rock wall and kept going down.

The biting chill and the breath of dying also awakened the potential of human beings born in despair-Kevin was running, and the worms behind him were chasing after him.

He didn't know where this place would lead, maybe it wasn't necessarily a way of life.

But stopping definitely means death!

【Fight, otherwise, be forgotten. 】

"Fight? How do you think I should fight now? Those bugs are bigger than me!" he roared in a hoarse voice.

[You need—courage. 】

"I need strength!" Kevin suppressed the pain that made his body stiff, imagining what the voice had imagined.

【Yes, you need strength. 】

It's laughing.

Kevin could hear it laughing.

In the distance ahead, the blurred light is especially conspicuous in the dark world.Kevin felt his skin clammy, and he continued to run forward, feeling more uneasy.There was something at the end of the tunnel that seemed to merge with the surrounding rock - it was a sword - a masterpiece that did not exist in any civilized master.

...Perhaps, it is the ultimate evil.

"This...is this you?"

【This is me. 】

Complicated thoughts slowed Kevin down.

As long as there is a moment of inadvertence, it is deadly enough.

[Look, am I not the perfect reflection of your youthful fantasy life? 】

"I...I don't understand."

Kevin's voice trembled.

[As I said at the beginning, you don’t have to understand, you just need to know——I’m waiting for you. 】

"wait for me?"

【Yes. 】

"who are you?"
