Boundless darkness, there is no light, but it doesn''t feel dim at all;


    The sleeping consciousness slowly woke up again, opened his eyes and looked at the dome.


    It was a burning, black sun; Even if you look directly, you don''t feel dazzling at all.


    The consciousness between trances began to rotate, and the subconscious began to mobilize their own thinking and senses.


    Chakar could even feel his pupils contracting slightly, his open palm pressing his chest, and he could feel the powerful beat.


    This should have stopped beating.


    Not only that, he found that his body was intact, even completely restored to the state before being corrupted by the Holy Blood potion, without even a trace of scars.


    Where on earth... Am I?


    The open and flat earth, the boundless darkness, the broken walls, the bottomless abyss... And the black sun overhead.


    Dark, cold, dead.


    It''s so dark, but it''s not scary at all.


    "... my dream world."


    A familiar voice made chakar take back his eyes, and a familiar figure was reflected in his eyes, looking at himself with his hands on his back.


    "Loren... Turin?"


    Trance consciousness seems not very confident in their own judgment.


    "Exactly." the dark haired wizard smiled.


    Chakar frowned slightly and looked at everything around him; Although he doesn''t know why he appears here, but


    "Can I think that I have died in your hands?"


    The dark haired wizard hesitated, but shook his head:


    "It depends on how you define the concept of ''death''."


    Chakar looked confused and said he was willing to hear it in detail.


    "After drinking the Holy Blood potion, your body and consciousness are corroded by the Holy Blood potion at the same time, and at the same time, you become a part of the body of the evil god... It''s very crazy, and it makes you difficult to be killed." Loren said faintly:


    "I have tried once in the previous battle; the result is that you can resurrect no matter how many times you kill unless you directly erase all the empty power on you."


    "After opening the blood sacrifice, it makes the void force in your body huge to a certain level; under such premise, it is almost impossible to kill you."


    i see.


    Chakar''s eyes were not violent at all, but showed a trace of interest: "so... How did you do it?"


    The dark haired wizard shook his head again.


    "I didn''t do it, and I can''t do it." with a sigh, Loren''s expression was filled with emotion: "it''s the credit of master Halin van achamay."


    "He used a way I didn''t understand to gradually transform you from an existence in the void to a life more in line with the material world, which gave me a chance, a chance to kill with one blow."


    Chakar looked unchanged, quietly listening to how his opponent beat him, and even nodded.


    In any case, I have been completely defeated at this moment; This is the other party''s "dream world", no matter how much resistance, it can''t have any effect.


    Since it is impossible to resist, why not just give up completely and enjoy the last moment of leisure before death?


    "... my original plan was to drag you here after beheading, but it failed;" shrugged and Lauren smiled:


    "Although Lucian appeared suddenly, to some extent... He may have saved my life."


    "Then, the Dragon appeared." chakar opened his mouth gently, and even smiled in his calm voice: "I guess it should be a surprise for you?"


    "That''s right." the black haired wizard nodded slightly.


    Yes, if you don''t count some prince who is also "uninvited" and intends to rob merit.


    "With the help of the giant dragon mirassis, we can finally weaken the power of emptiness on you as much as possible, attract most of your attention, and let you have no time to take care of an insignificant existence." Loren said: "at the same time, we can get enough time to prepare for the... Silent dream that can spread all over your body."


    "The effect of this spell is to shield all the void forces in the range in an instant... Of course, there is a time limit."


    "Only in this way can I get a chance for a moment, seize the only little consciousness you have hidden in the body of the evil god, and then drag it into my dream world."


    "A moment?"


    Chakar''s voice revealed surprise and couldn''t help raising his voice: "just for this moment, you can bet all the chips and pay such a huge sacrifice?"


    "No."


    Lauren interrupted him, "you said the opposite."


    Huh?


    "It should be gambling all the chips and paying a huge sacrifice, which can only win this moment." in a low voice, Loren raised his eyes and looked at each other:


    "Seryol, void monster, evil spirit body... You are so terrible."


    "No matter how well prepared, things may be useless at the moment; therefore, every battle is the last battle, and every battle must bet all the bets and be prepared for sacrifice."


    "Only in this way can we exchange the hope of that moment, which is so small that it needs to be held tightly!"


    "... I see."


    With a long sigh, chakar''s expression became a little different from before: "serlio... The ''black cross'' in your mouth has repeatedly mentioned your name. Even if you are arrogant like him, you are regarded as the most difficult enemy from beginning to end, and even determined that only he can defeat you."


    "I seem to understand the reason."


    The dark haired wizard didn''t say anything.


    "In other words, it is precisely because of him that I have the obsession to regard you as my ''mortal enemy''." chakar shook his head and smiled at himself:


    "This kind of obsession, the past me... Or the real me will not have; the Holy Blood potion is really terrible to the extreme. It can not only bring unparalleled power, but also completely distort a person''s thinking; no matter how rational, it will eventually fall into madness and surrender to its own desire to kill."


    "If it were me, I would probably take the initiative to retreat when I realized that the war was bad, and I wouldn''t entangle with you at all; maybe it wouldn''t lead to the complete destruction of the four hoofed tribe in my hands."


    "Of course, it''s just ''maybe''."


    "When we first followed seryol''s advice, the day our great Khan and flag leaders drank the Holy Blood potion... The fate of the four hoofed man was doomed to become a chess piece in seryol''s hand."


    Serlior


    "How on earth did he do it... I mean, ''black cross'' serliol, how on earth did he control your whole tribe?"


    This is what Lauren is most curious about and wants to know.


    As long as you know how serliol did it, maybe you can think of some way to avoid similar situations; If not, it''s good to get more information about the black cross capability.


    At least Loren didn''t think that he had defeated serliol after a lucky victory.


    Chakar didn''t speak immediately.


    After a long time, chakar said slowly, "you... Had better not know this."


    what?


    Lauren''s face was inexplicable.


    Why does everyone who comes into contact with serlio say that to himself?!


    "Lord Loren Turin, as your enemy, I sincerely hope to see you tear serliol to pieces, really; but..." chakar''s sigh sounded very lonely:


    "That''s impossible; we''re... Not on the same level as him."


    "With your strength, you may win him once, twice or even more, but... You can''t stop his plan; even the thing that you stop him is in his plan!"


    "You can''t imagine what it would be like; it seems that every change in the world, the angle of the sun, the size of the wind, any possible pain... Together with the moment you will raise your sword, the position of the sword, the strength and strength of the sword body..."


    "He... Serlio... Knows everything."


    Lauren frowned slightly, and he had heard Asriel mention similar words.


    Serlio''s power seems to be related to time


    "Lord Loren Turin, you are already a strong enemy in his eyes; even if you don''t want to, he will appear in front of you sooner or later." chakar said calmly:


    "I can''t think of any blessings that can be left to you... I just hope you won''t witness the destruction of yourself and your ethnic group one day and end up like me!"


    "Believe me, there is no more sad and desperate scene than watching your ethnic group, blood relatives and robes around you become puppets manipulated by others and chess pieces that can be manipulated at will."


    "Even if you kill them yourself, it''s a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times better than that!"


    The calm voice reveals unspeakable despair... Hope is in front of us, the despair that has been strangled alive.


    A moment of silence.


    Loren''s mood was so complicated that he didn''t know how to describe it.


    "That''s it. I can''t say more." chakar smiled. "Now, if you don''t mind, I''m ready for my last moment."


    When the voice fell, he took the initiative to close his eyes.


    The dark haired wizard took a deep breath, raised his left hand and gently pressed it on chakar.


    As if he fell asleep again, he could clearly feel that his consciousness was gradually blurred, and his sober thinking and senses began to work hard, as if they no longer belonged to him.


    The body is also becoming transparent bit by bit


    The palm of his left hand exerted a little force, and chakar in the dream world disappeared in the blink of an eye.


    ……………………………………………


    The roaring wind swept over his cheek. At the moment when the black haired wizard fell, the winged dragon mirassis caught him steadily in the air.


    "Thank you."


    Loren sat on the dragon''s back tired, listened to the cold wind roaring in his ears, and raised the corners of his mouth: "I thought you would really let me fall directly as you said before."


    It sounds like a joke, but that''s what he and mirasis agreed before... If the plan fails and the silent dream is forcibly broken away by chakar, the most direct result is that Loren himself has become a "sacrifice" for blood sacrifice.


    In that case, he would rather die.


    [it doesn''t matter. Even if I help, you must have a way to keep yourself safe]


    A very gentle and kind female voice sounded in his mind, which warmed Lauren''s heart.


    Unexpectedly, the dragon is so considerate and compassionate.


    [but... Since you speak, you owe me a favor]


    Huh?


    The stunned Loren didn''t react, but nodded: "of course, I must..."


    [when negotiating with Brandon again, let him more, and I''ll take it as if you have thanked me; otherwise...]


    No, otherwise?


    Swallowing his throat, the black haired wizard with his head down saw that the amber dragon eyes were staring at him.


    Didn''t say a word.


    Feeling the silent "threat", Loren couldn''t help laughing bitterly.


    Gentle, considerate, compassionate dragon?


    I really think too much.


    He took a deep breath and turned his eyes to his side.


    On the empty battlefield, the lonely evil spirit body is shrinking and corrupt bit by bit.


    It''s like a withered plant or an animal that has died for a long time.


    Soon, the huge and fat body slowly fragmented and disintegrated.


    Tentacles, head, trunk... The whole evil spirit body is like a burning towering tree, constantly scattered; The scattered ashes danced all over the sky and looked very elegant in the golden sunset.


    In just a quarter of an hour, all the tentacles, pus, rotten meat... Disappeared, and there was nothing left; Except for the bloody battlefield with potholes and corpses everywhere, there is no evidence to prove what has just passed.


    Where the evil god''s body once occupied, only a "dawn" sword still stands.


    "This, this after all..."


    Looking at the ashes flying all over the sky and the figure falling slowly from the dragon''s back to the ground, the dwarf army of silver helmet mountain who arrived late was stunned. Many dwarves even kept polishing their eyes and couldn''t believe what they saw.


    A common question came to everyone''s mind.


    But in fact, they know the answer.


    Because just now, just a few quarters of an hour ago, they had witnessed the whole battle from a distance... What really confused them happened to be the absurd and incredible facts they saw.


    The figure falling from the sky, only one hit


    Destroy the monster that even the dragon can''t do?!


    "How is this possible? What''s going on?!" the dwarf mikheilo''s voice trembled and shook his head desperately: "that man... He is really the one we''ve seen before... Loren Turin?!"


    "Yes..."


    The tired count of fury castle, Eckert, nodded slowly and sighed softly: "Loren Turin."


    "Our... Duke!"
