He Knows

In the illusory world, Oreius and the Queen of Insects rolled into a ball, entangled and fell down.

They were all covered in scales, biting, devouring, and assimilating each other. Both pairs of eyes were a blood red.

Finally, they fell heavily to the ground. The familiar black mist rushed into their lungs, and the Queen of Insects opened her sharp jaws and bit the other's head fiercely. Oreius did not flinch, and opened his mouth to bite the other's neck.

The missing left hand grew rapidly, and in an instant, it took on a slender outline. The power of the Queen of Insects poured into the young man's body, making the surface of his skin as hard as an insect shell. Vaguely, the red-haired young man seemed to hear a sound coming from above.

"O-le-u-s-s-s!"

....?

The power of the alien gods such as the Green Mist Tree took effect, barely awakening the red-haired young man's sanity. He raised his eyes and saw the armored bone dragon landed behind the queen and opened its mouth towards the two of them. A hot blue flame lit up deep in its throat, which kept compressing and compressing.

Oreius: "......"

Oreius: “!!!”

His hair stood on end and he rushed into the arms of the Insect Queen.

The latter was stunned for a moment, totally not understanding the human intention of "throwing oneself into the arms". The next second, the Queen cried out in unbearable pain. The flames sprayed directly onto the wound on her back, and the heat was unexpectedly high.

If it were the queen at ordinary times, there would be no way this thing could get close to her, but now she was as exhausted as Orelius, and this breath of artificial dragon almost smelled like barbecue.

He was in unbearable pain and threw Oreius out suddenly. The dragon quickly flew over to catch his companion.

This is the most powerful energy liquid that the Dragonborn bought for him. It is said that one bottle cap can burn down a town. Even with the wealth of the Dragonborn, they could only buy a small bottle. Nidhogg didn't have a drop left. He just gave it all to the Queen of Insects.

The queen turned around abruptly and stared at the bone dragon. If sight could kill, Nidhogg would have been turned into a pile of bone powder.

Long Xia retreated consciously, making sure he would not be slapped to death by the opponent before he said pitifully: "Orelius, do we really have to fight him?"

"You are a partner of justice. You cannot back down here."

The ring on his right hand was slightly warm, recovering from the severe injury. As Oreius recovered his strength, his eyes were fixed on the Queen of Insects.

"Now that you say so..."

The bone dragon shook its head, and the soul fire in its eye sockets burned fiercely, full of yearning for justice and fearlessness.

The queen was extremely disgusted. Aurelius alone was disgusting enough, and now there was a dragon. The two together made him more than twice as disgusting. She looked at them with some jealousy, and she had the idea of ​​retreating in her heart.

Now that he had returned to the Black Mist Era, there was no need to fight this desperate human anymore. However, Oreus was unwilling to let him go, and with the help of the bone dragon, he rushed towards him.

The two monsters collided again, blood and shells splattered, and the scene was extremely tragic. Nidhogg was well versed in black gun skills, and he was in tune with his master. He disturbed the fight from the side, which made the Queen of Insects very annoyed.

The blood that had corroded the wound was restored over and over again, but even so, the red-haired young man continued to fight with Him like crazy. His pupils were filled with murderous intent, and even real monsters couldn't help but feel afraid.

Why?

Is this guy totally free of fear?

“——”

A faint sound rang in the ears of the two people, and the queen's face suddenly changed. After such a long time of use, the energy of the pocket watch was completely used up. The situation of the Queen of Insects was getting worse. She didn't want to continue fighting, and she wanted to escape more urgently.

Oreius smiled fiercely and punched the opponent on the head. The recoil scratched the skin and blood gushed out.

She wanted to activate the artifact, but the watch, which had run out of energy, did not respond at all. The Queen of Insects could only watch the pattern crawling onto her body. She was also exhausted and had no power to resist. She screamed with resentment: "I will not die, I will come to find you again!"

Oreius's face turned extremely pale. He tried his best to control the other party: "Of course you will not die, because from today on, you will be my slave."

This word greatly irritated the queen. The higher she was, the harder it was for her to accept becoming a slave. Her face turned evil, and she suddenly opened her mouth and spat out a jade-white insect.

"No way! Die, die, die, die, die!"

It would be better for Him to die than to become a slave of mankind!

The bug flew to the horizon at lightning speed and disappeared from their sight in an instant. The Queen's body suddenly expanded, and at the moment of exploding, countless red blood threads bound her body and pressed her down.

If the queen had decided to fight to the death, it would have been difficult for Oreius to succeed. But he chose to retreat at the last second.

He would not be Oreius if he did not seize this opportunity. He cast the blessing quickly, and the queen, without her core, was powerless to resist, and could only watch herself being eroded.

Unlike controlling other things, the Queen of Insects almost beat Oleus dry. The dense red blood threads formed a cocoon, which was constantly compressed and hatched. The red-haired young man was dizzy, and Nidhogg carried the blood cocoon on his back. The two staggered to a safe position, and then lay on the ground exhausted.

Oleus was so tired that he didn't even want to move a finger. Next to him was the equally tired dragon. Both of them were unwilling to get up, preferring to be in close contact with the cold and wet ground.

call...

"Where's Rex? Why can't I see him?"

He finally found the energy to ask the others, and Nidhogg quickly gave the answer: "The human went back to the Insect City, and the Insect Queen did not go back. He planned to take the opportunity to rescue the human inside."

"I see. Let's go look for him later. It will be troublesome to go such a long way."

As the red-haired young man spoke, his eyelids couldn't stop drooping, and finally he had to ask the other party for help.

"Nidhogg, keep watch for me. I need to rest."

Although very tired, the bone dragon still responded obediently and faithfully performed his duties. The red-haired young man closed his eyes and even if the twelve gods came to wake him up, they couldn't stop him from sleeping.

After the red-haired youth fell asleep, the blood cocoon placed beside him shrank rapidly, with fine cracks appearing on the top. Nidhogg watched the movement vigilantly until a strange blood-red insect crawled out of it. It was shaped like a scorpion, only the size of a child's palm, with a round belly and gorgeous patterns all over its body.

The bone dragon felt relieved when it felt the familiar blood pattern on the other party. The insect ate the remains of the blood cocoon and crawled towards Oleus, curling up quietly around his neck.

Mason then withdrew his consciousness and lay down again.

After fighting for so long, he must be exhausted.

The warm sunlight of New Town fell on him, bringing a brightness totally different from the darkness. Even though he knew there was something wrong with the sun, Mason couldn't help but love life at this moment.

If he were given another chance, he would definitely exchange a blessing for Oleus. This kind of kryptonian life-saving play is really unbearable.

There's no news from the profiteer yet, so it shouldn't be a problem if you take a short break.

The afterglow of dusk was gentle, the boy closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

The profiteer in Partington City also closed his eyes in the Black Forest Tavern. Bai carefully covered him with a thin blanket. For a while, both the vest and the main body fell into a tired sleep, unaware of what was happening in the outside world. Only Nidhogg was still loyally guarding his master in the black mist.

After an unknown amount of time, the bone dragon suddenly yawned in a very anthropomorphic way.

Strange, shouldn't I be sleepy? I'm also responsible for...keeping watch...

It struggled and shook its head, but finally couldn't resist the sudden sleepiness and fell asleep on the spot.

The surrounding black mist spread silently, and a figure walked out of it. The red scorpion curled up at Oleus' neck and raised its tail needle nervously, desperate to wake up its master. A transparent tentacle fell from the sky, and the red scorpion also calmed down.

"Ah, I didn't expect he could actually succeed."

He stopped and looked at the red-haired young man lying on the ground with interest, and smiled slightly. There was no malice in his laughter, as if he had simply seen something interesting.

Transparent tentacles wrapped around his fingertips and merged into the darkness. The visitor knelt down beside the red-haired young man and waited quietly for him to wake up.

The red-haired young man woke up drowsily from his sleep and saw a person sitting next to him.

The night-like long hair fell beside his hand, as if he could reach out and touch it. The bone dragon was lying beside him, and the soul fire in his eye sockets was beating steadily, as if he had fallen into a wonderful dream.

Everything seemed so quiet and peaceful that he almost thought he had cut the wrong vest. But soon, the human realized that he was in the right place. Wisps of mist lingered around His sleeves, and the red-haired young man vaguely thought, "As expected."

The man turned his head to look at him, his face obscured by the mist and blurred, his gaze fixed on his face, like the casual chat between good friends who have met again after a long separation.

"Good evening, do you want to see the moon?"

"OK."

Humans quickly calmed down, thinking that looking at the moon was better than drawing swords upon meeting face to face.

As he answered, the black mist that lingered above his head dissipated to the sides, revealing the deep dark night sky.

This scene was extremely rare in the black fog. Meat-like clouds surrounded the pupils of the bright moon, overlooking all creatures on the earth. Just because of a careless and willful statement, the moonlight as thin as a gauze fell again after a long time on this land that had long been ruled by the black fog, and fell on the two people and the bone dragon.

The Monster Lord stretched out his hand and scooped up a handful of bright moonlight in his palm. The sound was carried into the other party's ears along with the cool night breeze.

"You slept for a long time. It seems you went through a lot there."

These words made the red-haired young man's scalp tingle. Even though he had expected this, hearing the admission laid out on the table still made him feel cold inside.

"It seems you knew we were going to go back in time."

"Of course, whatever the World Tree knows, I know."

"Are you the opposite of the world you're living in?"

"You found out a lot of things. You did a good job."

The Monster Lord's voice was filled with laughter.

"The power of the World Tree comes from destiny. It cannot be activated by staying in this world. Therefore, I helped a little. I hope you like my gift."

Hearing this, the human was struck by lightning, and his whole body exploded from his scalp to his feet. He suddenly raised his head and stared at the monster master, who spoke in a gentle tone.

"I know you have a lot of problems, but before that, I want to see you. I mean, the real you."

He knows.

He knows everything.
