The days when I helped the protagonist come to power [System]

When the morning sun lit up in the sky again, they finally walked out of the jungle and entered a secluded valley.

One of the branches of the holy river that I had seen in the wilderness flowed into this valley and meandered to the depths of the valley. The two walked along the river and passed through a small, damp and dark cave. It suddenly dawned on me——

In the center of the valley surrounded by the valley, there is a low depression, into which the river flows, forming a clear lake.In the middle of the lake, there is a tiny island in the middle of the lake covered with green four-leaf clover and dotted with unknown white flowers.

In the center of the green island stands a blue stone platform, about half a person high, covered with old sword scratches, revealing a long and ancient history.Contrary to this ancient stone platform that has gone through vicissitudes, a gleaming and dazzling holy sword stands on it. The blade has been deeply inserted into the stone platform. Only the hilt and half of the sword body are exposed, exuding a strong fragrance. Holy breath.

The moment he saw the holy sword, Heluomi stopped in an instant, and Erxi was also stunned.

——He is no stranger to this sword, it can even be said... quite familiar with it.

During the 100th reincarnation, he saw Heluomi pull it out with his own eyes. Although it also happened in the Holy Light Secret Realm, the location was not here.Could it be that the location where this sword appears...will be different in each reincarnation?

Erxi glanced at the Sword in the Stone again with complicated emotions, then turned to Heluomi and said.

"You need to pull it out."

Heluomi slightly clenched the hands intertwined with Erxi's fingers, but did not speak.

In fact, he knew what Erxi said was right, because he had already felt it—from the moment he stepped into the secret realm of the holy light, it was the sword in the stone that had been calling him.

——It belongs to him.

But Erxi recognized this sword, and he recognized it now-in the memory of the previous life that the Howling Banshee showed him, he used this sword to take Erxi's life time and time again.

"Go and pull it out."

Hei Luomi heard the people around him repeat it again, with a hint of urging.

He knew Ersey must have recognized the sword, so he couldn't understand—why?Why is this person so calm and calm?Doesn't he know what it might mean after pulling out that sword?

"Don't be afraid." Seeing Heluomi's hesitation and struggle, Erxi softened his voice, stared into his eyes, and paused every word.

"...This time, you won't kill me."

Hei Luomi's expression finally relaxed a little, he stared at the small island in the lake for a long time, then turned to Erxi.

"Teacher, you can go with me." He said softly.

Ersey shook his head. He let go of their handshake and took a step back.

"That is a sacred inheritance that belongs only to you, and you must face it alone."

Heluomi remained silent.

"Only by pulling it out can you complete the trial and become the holy son of the human race." Erxi paused slightly, and then emphasized his tone, "Don't you want to fulfill the promise you made with me?"

Hei Luomi was finally persuaded.

He raised his head, and the cool wind blew from the lake, blowing the hair hanging on the forehead of the black-haired young man, revealing those dark eyes that were as deep and bright as the stars in the dark night.He stretched out his hand, and the wind element gradually condensed on the soles of his feet until it lifted his body up.

"Teacher, you are waiting for me here." He turned his head and smiled at the people behind him, "I will be back soon."

Ersie nodded.

He watched Heluomi cross the water and landed steadily on the small island in the middle of the lake, then Erxi glanced at Xin who was still floating by his side, thought for a moment, and began to walk towards the edge of the valley.

There is only one holy sword. If the person who pulls out the holy sword is considered to have completed the trial, then this is not just the selection of candidates, but the selection of the holy son.

Theoretically speaking, apart from the protagonist Hei Luomi, the current Xin also has the qualification to draw the holy sword. However, Xin's injury seems to be serious, and he couldn't wake up all the way. Obviously, he doesn't have the conditions to threaten Hei Luomi.But just in case, Ersey felt that it would be safer to take Xin away from the center of the lake.

Erxi walked all the way to the entrance of the valley, and he gently placed Xin on the ground covered with green grass. Although for a moment he thought about adding a layer of restraint around Xin, he saw that the man was pale With a paper-like complexion, Erxi finally gave up the idea, but while paying attention to Xin's situation, he cast his eyes on the island in the middle of the lake in the distance.

***

The moment Hei Luomi stepped on the island in the middle of the lake, the sense of calling from the holy sword became stronger in an instant.The sword body flickered with stronger golden light, as if the heart was beating powerfully.

He didn't need someone to teach him how to do it, as if he knew how to pull out the holy sword by nature, Heluomi walked to the stone platform, took a deep breath, stretched out his hand to hold the hilt, and then closed his eyes slightly, Begin to condense the power of elements.

There was a hustle and bustle in the originally quiet valley, the wind flow accelerated, and layers of ripples appeared on the lake surface. A thick and dense cloud of elements quickly gathered above Heluomi's head, and they quickly formed a cloud vortex, a mass of golden light Conceived from the vortex, until it transformed into a phantom of a golden long sword.

When the golden phantom of Hei Luomi's "Elemental Spirit" broke free from the elemental vortex, it seemed like a bird entering the forest and a fish returning to the sea. The dazzling brilliance of the hot sun suddenly shot out from the stone platform, so dazzling that Erxi couldn't help but close his eyes, not daring to look directly at the bright holy brilliance.

Hei Luomi didn't look away.

He didn't even blink his eyes, the golden light reflected in his black pupils, like a burning torch, suddenly dispelled a cloud that had been entrenched in his heart for a long time, something that had been dusty He was suddenly liberated. From this moment on, he felt like he was enlightened, and he felt that he and the world around him had become very different.

He clenched the hilt of the sword suddenly, and almost effortlessly pulled out the radiant holy sword from the stone platform.

The moment when one's wish is fulfilled is also the time when a person's vigilance is weakest.Hei Luomi breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously. Just as he was about to step back, suddenly a black mist rose from the ground under his feet. The mist was invisible, but it corroded the entire ground softly and collapsed.

There are traps! !

Hei Luomi's heart trembled, and he immediately wanted to fly off the ground, but his feet had been imprisoned in the sinking ground like quicksand, and he couldn't move at all.

Just when Hei Luomi focused his attention on his feet, he suddenly felt a stabbing pain in his arm. He instinctively let go, and the holy sword he was holding in his hand was dragged out by a strong force and swung to the ground. air.

who is it? !

The surrounding black mist is getting thicker and thicker, completely covering Heluomi's sight. He can't even see the stone platform a few steps away, let alone who is responsible for it, but Erxi who is far away from the edge of the valley , but has seen everything clearly——

A tall red figure slowly emerged by the lake. The man with black hair and red clothes smiled happily. He gently flicked the silk thread in his hand. The holy sword that had not been fully controlled by Heluomi seemed to be lost. Like a boat that has lost its direction, it whirls and floats in the air.

The Lich King!

Although it was just a back view, Erxi's intuition told him that it must be that person.

A cold killing intent appeared in Erxi's eyes. He waved his hand, and several icy light condensed by water vapor shot towards the person standing by the lake like arrows, but that person seemed to have been on guard for a long time. Dodging away, and still standing calmly, he turned and glanced at Erxi, with a coquettish smile on his lips.

"We meet again." The Lich King said with a smile, "Shouldn't we catch up on the past first? I have always missed you, Lord Demon Prince."

The Lich King's voice was gentle and bewitching, but the movements in his hand were vicious and cold - he grabbed the silk thread in his hand, and the golden holy sword floating aimlessly in the air immediately turned around. Then, like an arrow leaving the string, it rushed straight towards Erxi.

Although the Holy Light Secret Realm has a suppressive effect on the power of the demons, it is not difficult for Erxi to deal with a long sword without an owner. Before the holy sword approached, Erxi slammed it into the air, with a "clang" sound , inserted into the mountain wall next to it.

"The Lich King!" Erxi stared at the smiling man, with bloody anger appearing in his eyes, "What on earth are you trying to do?"

The Lich King rolled his eyes with a smile, and his voice was as gentle as the lingering words of a lover.

"I want... to let you die."

The Lich King snapped his fingers suddenly, and his figure disappeared in place like light smoke. Erxi was startled for a moment, and suddenly felt a tightness around his waist in the next second. The skeletal hand hugged Ersie tightly at an abnormally twisted angle, locking him firmly in place, and at the same time exhaled into his ear like blue, smiling.

"They say you are the real immortal, is that true?"

Ersie was taken aback for a moment.

The next moment, he felt the Lich King suddenly let go of his hand and quickly backed away. At the same time, a sharp hissing suddenly burst out in his head, as if something was collapsing and disintegrating, falling apart.Amidst this terrifying roar, the voice of the salvation system seemed to be struggling through many obstacles, and exploded deep in Erxi's mind.

【—Master Orderer, be careful! ! ! ! ! 】

All this happened too fast, from the Lich King suddenly appearing behind him, to the alarm from the rescue system, all in the blink of an eye, Ersie only had time to take half a step back when he felt a chill in his chest, something It pierced his heart with precision.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

Erxi looked at the holy sword pierced into his chest in disbelief. He still couldn't feel the pain, only his mind was blank, and then there was an earth-shaking shock and amazement.

This scene was so familiar, his eyes trembling, he looked up the holy sword gradually soaked in blood, and then saw an extremely familiar face.

——It’s Xin.

Erxi didn't know when this person woke up, and he even wondered for a moment whether Xin's body was controlled by the Lich King, and that's why he acted like a betrayal, but...it didn't.

The man's eyes were clear, his expression was calm, and the hand holding the sword hilt did not tremble or hesitate, which was obviously a sober act of his own will.

"I've been waiting for five years." The blond young man's gaze was as deep as the sea, and he stared calmly and calmly into Ersie's shocked eyes, "...I've been waiting for this moment."

Erxi suddenly understood: the Lich King sent the holy sword to fly here just now, not to kill him at all, but to let Xin successfully get the sword.

Those who wanted to kill him were not only the Lich King, but also Xin.

These two people joined forces to plan everything, they are basically a gang!

"You...you actually..."

Erxi stared at Xin. He wanted to speak, but blood had already flowed into his throat. He felt that the air around him suddenly became thinner. No matter how hard he tried to breathe, he couldn't relieve the growing sense of suffocation.

The pain in his chest began to spread all over his body, and all the strength in his body seemed to disappear with the continuous flow of blood from his chest. He began to feel it again——he had experienced more than 200 times, was so familiar that it was almost embedded in his bones, and would never The feeling of being forgotten.

- the feeling of death.

……Do not.

……don't want.

He doesn't want to die yet.

How could he die now?

It was hard for him... It was hard for him to get a chance to escape the curse. He thought that his experience would finally be different this time, but why...

Why is the final outcome still like this?

Why... He still can't escape such a fate! !

He couldn't suppress the resentment and accusations in his heart, but his vision had begun to blur, the surrounding light gradually dimmed, and the surrounding sounds also moved away from him, dragging him into the dark vortex of death little by little.

At that moment, Erxi suddenly remembered that the salvation system had spoken to him——

【——You are the only hope to correct this world. If you fail, this world will collapse and become chaotic and head towards destruction. 】

No.

If this world ceases to exist, that person... also ceases to exist.

He will no longer be able to see that person's smile, hear that person's voice, everything they have experienced together, whether it is laughter or sadness, joy or pain, what is treasured in his heart is still dusted in the past With the collapse of this world, they will be completely annihilated and reduced to nothing.

No.

He hasn't figured out how he feels, he hasn't determined what this feeling is, he still has a lot of things to do, and there is still a long way to go, how can...how can, just This is the end? ?

However, he is still going to die after all.

Losing his five senses and losing consciousness, Erxi staggered back a few steps, his body was like a puppet with its strings broken, and he fell limply backwards, as if falling into a bottomless abyss.

Before being dragged into the endless darkness by death, the last sound he vaguely heard was the heart-piercing roar of that person——

"Ersie!!!!!!!!!"

The author has something to say: behind the scenes——

Erxi: The king is exhausted! !It's finally time to take a long paid vacation, hey! o(n_n)o!

Heart K: Don't think about good things, no salary!The next large-scale tearing scene has already emptied the crew's funds! !
