"Wait a little longer, maybe there will be a turning point."
The sound came directly from his ear, but with his keen perception, he could easily locate the source of the sound, which was in the city on the top of the mountain.
After a moment's thought, Lu Yun finally stopped moving. However, the purifying light still flickered in his hand, accumulating and ready to be unleashed.
Although she didn't sense any malicious intent, it didn't mean she wasn't on guard at all.
In the blink of an eye, the two had already clashed hundreds of times. Under the siege of countless tentacles and rock spikes, Qian Wu was finally accidentally hit during one of the exchanges.
The attack carrying the might of the earth fell on his body. Even if the war spirit was born proficient in all kinds of martial arts and had an extremely strong body, his body was already on the verge of limit.
The armor shattered, and several silver spears were broken. The exposed skin was cracked, but no blood flowed. Scarlet lines spread from the arm holding the knife to the whole body.
The abyss began to infect her more deeply, causing her to temporarily lose control of her body. Above her, a tentacle rose.
"Erin..."
Murmuring each other's names, memories flashed through their past. Best friends before the apocalypse, life-and-death partners after it.
Time and again, they fell into danger, yet time and again, they supported each other and survived. But now... one of the two people who relied on each other for survival fell first.
'I'm going to stop here... Maybe... in a world like this, this is a relief.
However, I failed to fulfill my promise to kill you with my own hands after you were infected.'
With this thought in mind, she raised her head as if resigned to her fate.
Although the will to fight remains, despair has arisen.
However, the attack did not land as expected. The tentacle turned in mid-air and slammed into the mountain wall.
Countless scarlet eyes stared at Qian Wu, but no one took the next step.
"Erin...are you still conscious?"
Seeing this, a gleam of light flashed in Qianwu's eyes. A ray of hope pierced through the despair, and the indomitable fighting spirit began to burn fiercely.
The scarlet erosion on his body became more and more serious, but a ball of silver fire was expanding in his eyes:
[Fighting Spirit] (Special Talent): Fighting will becomes a spark, fighting spirit becomes firewood, and body becomes the carrier. Burning away hesitation and delusion, all one's will is concentrated into an attack.
"Give it to me, wake up!"
As his talent was activated, a brilliant cone of light formed on his forehead, and the light in his eyes disappeared.
However, the light cone had an inexplicable agility, and the next moment it pierced straight into the mountain of flesh.
After a low growl, both sides fell into silence.
"What's going on?"
Lu Yun frowned. She wanted to attack the moment the tentacles fell.
But at this moment, a hidden force struck the tentacle first, pushing it away and temporarily controlling its movements, thus creating the illusion that it still had some consciousness.
Before Lu Yun could figure out what was going on, the voice answered his question again:
"This is the War Spirit Clan's innate talent, [Fighting Spirit], which allows them to fight to the death in truly desperate situations.
For a race like the War Spirits, as long as their bodies can still move, they are not in a desperate situation.
The only desperate situation they could be in was when their bodies were broken and unable to use any skills. At that moment, all they could rely on was their fighting spirit and will, which could not be worn away by the passage of time.
Abandoning the physical body as the primary battlefield, they face the enemy with pure will. However, during this skill, their bodies will lose their ability to protect themselves. This will also affect the purity of their fighting spirit.
"So, why did you plan this scene?"
Lu Yun touched his chin. He didn't expect that he would face such a change before he even started his upgrade plan.
But she didn't care much, and was even a little curious.
Because she now possessed near-absolute military power, the innate status feedback brought by the weapon spirit incarnation allowed her to be fearless of all calculations.
“…”
"If you don't want to talk about it, forget it. Do you mind if I purify them all?"
After waiting for a moment without any answer, Lu Yun raised his hand slightly.
As if sensing the terrifying energy fluctuations in Lu Yun's hand, the other party seemed to panic:
"Wait a minute, sir. I know you're powerful, but I hope you won't interfere in this matter. Because right now, the future of the two hundred thousand people in my city is at stake for them both."
Lu Yun: “?”
“…”
"Irene's infection was left over from multiple battles, not intentionally. I simply took this opportunity to conduct an experiment.
According to my calculations, the disaster is unavoidable and invincible. Everything will be attributed to the disaster, and we are no exception.
Since the outcome is already determined, instead of resisting the disaster, it is better to find a way to preserve oneself in the disaster.
In order to get the answer, I planned the following scene.
War spirits are the race with the strongest will among all living beings, and Qianwu is the best among them.
I wondered if she could awaken the other's chaotic will, and if, when it did return, she could maintain her identity within a body completely infected.
Don't judge me for being selfish. As the lord of this city, as a demigod of this world, I have a responsibility to find a way out for the survivors.
Your Excellency, however, seems to have no signs of infection. Could you please come into the city and have a chat?"
After that, a light gate appeared in front of Lu Yun. Seeing this, Lu Yun did not hesitate and stepped into it.
…
…
A few hours ago, in the Royal Mage Academy, when Lu Yun entered the 49th floor
Mira, who was silently observing Chen Chen, suddenly felt dazed and dizzy.
The dark place appeared in front of my eyes again, the door opened, and a figure with light walked towards me.
But the next moment, the figure blurred and shattered, transforming into the man who frightened her so much, her brother...
"Hey! Hey! Qinghuan, what's wrong with you? Don't sleep in class!"
The hallucination only appeared for a moment before being interrupted by Chen Chen. Over the past few days, those blurred memories have become increasingly clear. Until just now, the blurred memories suddenly burst out.
"No…I…I'm fine!"
"Are you really okay?"
“…”
Chen Chen looked at the silent Mira and couldn't help scratching his head. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he suddenly felt that the aura around this little loli suddenly darkened.
"Maybe that's what women are like, moody and unpredictable."
Chen Chen couldn't help but shook his head.
