Chapter 68
Mistbound Chronicles: Lumian's Legacy Novel Chapter 68
Seeing that Laien not only did not run away, but instead blocked the entrance of the tower with the "Sword of Dawn", the woman in the gray and white dress immediately had a bad feeling.
She quickly turned the huge scissors, clamped her neck, and pulled gently.
The bright red blood immediately flowed out, and with her scream, it quickly flowed up, down, left and right as if it had a life of its own, covering her entire body.
It was as if the woman was wearing a bloody full-body armor.
While she was doing these things, Laien held the "Sword of Dawn" upside down with both hands and knelt down on one knee.
With a pop, he inserted the two-handed giant sword condensed into light into the stone floor in front of him.
The giant sword then disintegrated and turned into patches of light like the morning sun.
They were densely packed and countless, forming a shimmering and violent hurricane that swept forward.
Wherever this storm of light passed, the stone floor was thinned, some steps were flattened, and some had exaggerated cracks. The woman had no time to make any dodge before she was completely swallowed up.
The bloody armor on her body held up for a second, then completely shattered and melted into the light.
But this time, she left the special environment on the third floor and was in a place full of vitality. She could no longer use the blue and white transparent faces to move her position. She could only watch the body appear one after another. Bloody cracks.
The crack expanded rapidly, and in an instant it turned into a hideous wound that cut open the woman.
As her screams echoed, her body was torn apart and turned into pieces of flesh. Those pieces of flesh and her spirit were still being destroyed by the storm of light until the hurricane subsided, and one became more broken and the other dissipated. Empty.
Although Laien tried his best to prevent the "Storm of Light" from affecting other directions, under the full attack, it was still too weak and destroyed a lot of the side walls and the stairs behind it. If it weren't for Lumian and Li Ya and Valentine followed his instructions and found cover in advance, so they would be more or less injured now.
"Wow!" "Wow!" "Wow!"
The bird-clawed children climbing on the wall were frightened and cried loudly.
This made Lumian and others' ears buzz, as if they were being attacked by noise.
"Let's go!" Lain turned around and slammed into the most damaged wall nearby.
Bang, the wall cracked, and a large number of stones fell down.
A large hole appeared there for humans to drill through.
When Valentine and Lumian ran over, Lain grabbed someone with one hand, lifted their shoulders, and jumped directly from a height of more than ten meters to a tree outside the castle.
boom! While he was in mid-air, he kicked the tree and changed from falling straight to flying sideways, landing far away from the castle.
Liya jumped out on her own, and with the help of the bulges on the outer wall of the castle, she quickly descended layer by layer, landing on the ground in just one or two breaths.
As the trees shook violently, Lain, Lumian and Valentine waited for Liya for a few seconds to meet her before running to the back of the hill and leaving the same way before the other servants caught up.
Less than a minute later, at the entrance to the tower, next to the large cracked hole.
Mrs. Pualis, wearing a gray-blue fluffy dress, stood there expressionlessly, looking around.
The children climbing on the wall called out for their mothers urgently, accusing the outsiders of being barbaric and cruel.
Mrs. Pualis said nothing, her face as dark as water
In the woods on the side of Kordu Village.
Lumian and others stopped and looked back at the location of the castle.
Liya was about to speak when she suddenly frowned.
"I heard the baby's cry, very close!" She turned her head and asked En and the others, "Did you hear it?"
Lumian was startled and listened carefully.
Vaguely, he heard the wail of a baby crying, but it was not as close as Liya described, and even seemed very far away.
"I heard a little bit." Lai En said truthfully.
Valentine didn't know what he thought of, and his expression changed instantly.
Almost at the same time, a painful expression appeared on Liya's face, and one hand instinctively pressed towards her lower abdomen - there was obvious bulging and creeping there.
Valentine walked over quickly, stretched out a hand and put it on Liya's head.
Immediately afterwards, he spoke in a deep voice an ancient Hermetic word that Lumian had just learned:
"sun!"
Drops of golden translucent liquid condensed out of thin air and sprinkled on Liya.
Waves of illusory black smoke suddenly rose from Liya's body, and her expression was sometimes distorted and sometimes normal.
Finally, her lower abdomen shrank back to its original state and stopped squirming.
"Huh..." Liya breathed out, "I almost became the monster's cheap mother. Fortunately, I dealt with it in time before it had time to take root."
She had a smile on her face, and even though she had just experienced such a weird and terrifying thing, she could not see any fear or uneasiness.
After sighing, Liya turned to Lumian, Lain and Valentine:
"Would you like to use holy water to purify it too? I'm afraid you will become mothers before you know it."
"Okay!" Lumian agreed without hesitation.
But Valentine didn't go to him immediately. Instead, he came to Laien and put his hand on the top of his head.
"sun!"
It's the ancient Hermetic word just now, and there are drops of golden liquid condensing.
As the holy water was being sprinkled, there was nothing unusual about Lai En.
Valentine purified himself again, and no illusory black smoke evaporated.
After taking care of his companions, he walked to Lumian and held down the "hunter"'s head with his hand.
"sun"!
As the ancient Hermetic word echoed, and as the drops of translucent liquid fell, Lumian suddenly felt pain.
The pain came from his heart, as if a snake was slithering around there, trying to leave.
Every time it drilled, Lumian's heart would either speed up or stall, making it extremely uncomfortable.
The next second, he faintly heard the mysterious voice that seemed to come from infinite distance and seemed to be right next to him.
Fortunately, this was not as clear as in the dream, and it would not put Lumian directly into a state of near-death.
Just when Lumian couldn't bear it anymore, Valentine stopped purifying and nodded coldly:
"There's nothing wrong with you."
Huh... Lumian exhaled quietly, feeling as if he had danced on the edge of death and then been pulled back.
At this time, he probably understood what had just happened:
According to the mysterious lady, he was a person who had been severely contaminated by a certain secret evil god. He could only maintain a normal state by relying on the timely seal of that great being.
In this way, if he accepts the purification of holy water, it will be like a demon undead embracing the holy light. There will definitely be problems.
To put it simply, he himself is an evil god pollutant that needs to be purified!
Fortunately, fortunately, if Valentine persists for a little longer or becomes stronger, even with the seal of that great being, I will be exposed...I can no longer accept purification in the future, and I can't even find anyone. Exorcism, I am the evil that needs to be exorcised... Lumian was relieved for a moment, and did not let the remaining pain appear on his face.
Seeing that his companions had been purified and hidden dangers eliminated, Lai En immediately said:
"Let's go to the edge of the village now, where the loop will be triggered.
"If Mrs. Pualis finds a clue and chases her, but we can't defeat her, we'll try to escape and restart the cycle."
Seeing Valentine's obvious confusion, Laien added:
"I'm worried that if I die once in the cycle, there will be some problems after the cycle is released, so I'd better try not to die now if I can."
"Okay." Liya agreed before Valentine made his enthusiastic remarks.
Seeing that both companions had made a unanimous decision, Valentine could only nod.
At this time, Lumian glanced at them, waved his hand and said:
"You go ahead, I'm going home!"
"Aren't you worried about Mrs. Pualis looking for you?" Lain frowned in confusion.
Lumian smiled:
"I'm not like you. After I entered the tower, I kept avoiding the sight of those monster children and was not seen by them. The midwife who saw me was completely killed by you. It seems that she can't even get through. How could Mrs. Alis guess that such a high-end and powerful infiltration team included an ordinary person like me?
"Think about it. Before you came to Kordu, no one had tried to sneak into the castle. As soon as you came, something happened immediately. Don't you doubt who you suspected?
"If I follow you and run away, I will be dragged down!"
Lain, Liya and Valentine were speechless for a moment.
It was obviously this kid's plan, but why did it seem to have nothing to do with him in the end?
Did you and others just bear all the "crimes"?
"Goodbye! If Mrs. Pualis doesn't dare to deal with you official Beyonders and the cycle is not restarted, then we will see you in the old tavern tomorrow!" Lumian waved his hand and reminded the other party while running to the edge of the woods, "Take care, I The cabbages!"
After leaving the woods, Lumian's expression became solemn.
The reason why he didn't follow Lai En and others to escape was not just the reason mentioned just now, it was more of an excuse.
His main purpose was to go home immediately and meet Aurore.
As soon as Aurore invited Mrs. Poialis to have afternoon tea, someone immediately sneaked into the castle, and they were easy suspects.
Lumian must quickly tell his sister that if Mrs. Pualis comes to question and silence her, don't insist on betraying the three strangers directly, accept Mrs. Pualis's imprisonment, and find valuable secrets to lure her for a while. Let her kill on the spot.
There is hope only when you are alive!
Even if you are in the cycle, you cannot die easily, lest there be any big problems after the cycle is released!
And after Mrs. Pualis catches up with Liya and others, if she wins, one of the three of them will be able to trigger the loop and "erase" the memory. If she loses, then what is there to worry about?
Kick and kick, Lumian endured the pain in his calf, crossed the village road, and ran back home.
He was relieved when he saw Aurore looking at the door, alive and well.
"Are you okay?"
"Are you okay?"
The siblings asked each other at the same time.
