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

Seeing the turbulent snow tide sloping down from the top of the mountain, Ersie's heart skipped a beat. He had experienced the worst premonition.

Because the number of burrowing beasts exceeded expectations, the force of their impact on the rock wall has affected the mountain, causing cracks to appear in the thick snow layer on the top of the snow peak; and the last straw that overwhelmed the camel was at least one-third of the burrowers. The earth beasts rushed out of the cave, and the tide of beasts they formed galloped across the snow mountain. The violent running resonated with the ground, and finally triggered an avalanche on the peak.

Although returning to the mountain immediately may be the way to avoid catastrophe, this is not a life-and-death battle in reality, but a race against time-if you don't reach the finish line within the specified time, it is equivalent to "death", so, how to The choice is already obvious.

"Run!" Ersie yelled.

The four immediately rushed down the mountain quickly.

Along the way, they also saw many candidates fleeing for their lives. There was not much time left. This was already the last sprint before the end of the exam. Those who had the ability to arrive here were not ordinary people, but they heard the panic and horror coming one after another from behind. Erxi has gradually understood the screams and unwilling roars——

No matter what, they couldn't run at the speed of the snow tide.

Ersie's breath became short of breath. He turned his head and saw that the first snow wave was close at hand. He could even clearly see the high snow waves rising in front of the snow wave and the snow fog that covered most of the daylight.Like a giant white palm ruthlessly brushing across the earth, wherever it passes, it will be destroyed, any resistance will appear fragile and small, and even the dying struggle will appear so ridiculous.

Can't hesitate any longer.

Erxi raised his hand, and three magic scrolls were thrown out of his hand, flying towards the other three.

"Go on! Use this!"

Hei Luomi activated the scroll first, and he didn't even look at what type of scroll it was. Even he himself didn't realize that this unhesitating acceptance was like proclaiming his absolute trust in the other party.

The blue magic light flashed briefly, and a flying carpet appeared in front of the boy.

"Flying scroll!" On the other side, Cecil had already exclaimed in surprise.

There are many flying magics, the most popular one is the floating magic based on wind elements, and the flying magic using the flying carpet as the medium is just a trick for children in the eyes of most people, because the flying carpet controls It is very inflexible, and the flying height is also very limited, which is far from meeting the needs of magicians.

But even if the flying carpet is useless, in the face of a catastrophe, this kind of flying tool that can leave the ground for a short time seems to be the savior of everyone.Although its flying altitude may not be able to escape the turbulent airflow when the snow tide passes by, at least it is not hopeless.The three jumped onto their respective flying carpets without hesitation, and flew into the air in an instant.

But Hei Luomi soon realized something was wrong, he quickly looked behind him, and found that Erxi hadn't followed.

The man had even stopped running, just standing on the snow, looking up at them.

"What are you doing?!" Heluomi shrank his pupils and said angrily.

"Leave me alone," Ersie waved his hand to him with a relaxed expression, as if he didn't know that the raging snow tide was approaching, "you go, if you slow down, it will be too late."

He only has three flying scrolls in total.

This also means that among the four people, only three can grasp the last straw.

Hei Luomi must be at the top of the list, after all, my task is to let him pass the exam successfully, and set foot on his road of king again;

Erxi did not hesitate to distribute the scroll to Xin. After all, it was largely because Xin led the way. Although he should try his best to prevent him from passing the exam, the other party has a strong aura of the protagonist after all. , it is not something that the current self can stop, and if he uses people first, if he is ungrateful and repays revenge at a critical moment, this is really against Erxi's principles of handling things. Giving Xin a scroll can be regarded as repaying a favor. I owe it, if I want to target him again in the future, I will not be restrained;

As for Cecil... Anyway, Xin gave it all, so let's just buy one and get one free, and be a favor.

Ersey turned around and looked calmly at the approaching snowstorm.Suddenly, he felt a tightness in his right arm, and he was being dragged into the air by someone.

"What are you doing!" Ersie raised his head in astonishment, and then became furious, "Let go!"

With a cold expression on his face, Hei Luomi firmly grabbed Erxi's right arm, desperately driving the flying carpet into the air.But this kind of flying carpet can only carry one person, and now the weight of one person is suddenly added, not only the flying speed is greatly reduced, but the altitude is also extremely low, it is no different from hovering at low altitude.

"Hei Luomi!" Erxi was in a hurry, and was about to scold angrily, but his left arm tightened, and Xin folded back, and together with Hei Luomi, he dragged Erxi into the air and flew.

"You two..." Ursi roared, his eyes were red with anxiety, "It's a waste of effort. If this continues, no one will reach the finish line! Let go!!"

However, neither of them was moved, and Erxi was afraid that he would drag them both down by struggling too much, so he could only turn his eyes to Cecil who was wandering not far away.

"Cehir! Hurry up and drag Xin away!"

He knew Cehir would definitely not leave Xin alone. Sure enough, Cehir hesitated for a moment, and quickly folded the flying carpet back.

However, he did not take Xin away as Erxi wished, but instead helped Xin and grabbed Erxi's hand.

Ersie was about to vomit blood.

"Are you crazy too?!" Ersie yelled.

"You're crazy!" Cecil also yelled at him, even gnashing his teeth a little bit, "It's finally come to this point, how could I leave you!! Who do you think we are?! "

Although he hated this arrogant guy very much, and even hoped that there would be no more intersections in the future, but the other party gave them all the remaining flying scrolls, but he was facing a desperate situation of being out of the game. If he just walked away, it would be considered a fluke There is absolutely no peace of mind if you pass the exam.

It's a pity that even if three people go up together, it is still difficult to pull the youth to a safe height.But no one wanted to let go, just gritted their teeth and desperately wanted to fly higher, higher.

Ersie was dumbfounded.

...they are still children after all.he thinks.

So naive, it makes people want to laugh.

The snow tide is finally here.

As the snow waves approached, the howling cold wind suddenly increased its force, and the already precarious flying carpet immediately spun wildly like a boat caught in a whirlpool.In the chaos, Erxi saw the timing, shook off Xin's hand forcefully, and gave Cecil another kick. The two were immediately swept away by the strong wind, and it was difficult to return for a while.

Without the help of the two of them, Heluomi's pressure suddenly increased, and the flying altitude also dropped again and again, but even so, he still clung to Erxi tightly and did not let go.

"Hei Luomi, let go." Erxi said helplessly, he was running out of patience.

The boy didn't speak, and his hands were so hard that they were almost embedded in Ersie's arms. His eyes were straight ahead, and his expression was persistent and even a little scary.

Ersie sighed: "Don't force me."

Probably hearing the strangeness in the other party's tone, Hei Luomi finally looked down at him with a vigilant voice: "What do you want to do?"

Then he saw the young man raised his head and smiled at him.

In the next second, a stern gleam flashed in front of his eyes, and the man held a dagger in his other hand, stabbing straight towards this side with sharp movements.Heluomi didn't hide, he didn't even frown, he just looked at Erxi coldly, as if he didn't care about the coming attack.

But the next moment, the boy's expression changed.

The dagger swung by Erxi did not stab Heromi, but... himself.

The young man cut off his arm without hesitation, the whole process was incredibly fast, and the determination was even creepy.The stumped arm instantly turned into tiny specks of light in the strong wind, and the young man also fell straight to the ground, disappearing in the vast snow tide in an instant.

Hei Luomi was completely stunned.

He still maintained his grip, but he didn't grab anything except the flying snow.

--why.

It took a long time before he withdrew his hand. Looking at the empty palm, a rare moment of blankness appeared on the boy's face.

——Why...you can do this?

Even if it is an illusion, all perceptions and experiences are real.Pain, fear, timidity, despair, these innate emotions cannot be overcome by reason.Even if they don't really die, few people have the courage to go to death, let alone attack themselves without hesitation, as neatly as if they just chopped off a hair, not a living arm.

"You're really... so ruthless."

In fact, Heluomi didn't care about this exam at all. He even thought just now that if he had to choose one of the two, he would jump off by himself and let Erxi stay on the flying carpet.After all, that person was extremely enthusiastic about the exam, so it's okay to give him a favor, but before I could implement this plan, the other party had already chosen to let go.

——It's... for that person.

Suddenly remembering the scene in that person's "dream", He Luomi was stunned for a long time, then slowly lowered his head and laughed softly.

What, you say "I don't want to see you again", but in order to let "I" pass the exam, you can be cruel enough to give up yourself. Are you really...don't want to see that person again?

Next time, if you encounter a real life-and-death choice, can you also swing the sword at yourself for that person without hesitation, even death will not make you have the slightest hesitation or fear?

The open palms were slowly clenched into fists, and a thick mist of blood filled the eyes. If anyone saw the boy's face with drooping forehead at this time, he would be shocked by his expression full of anger and chill.

——Hei Luomi also didn't understand why he had such a mood.

Extreme anger, extreme unwillingness, extreme unacceptability and... a trace of fear and pain that seemed to be absent but familiar.

why?

Obviously, it was just a stranger who met by chance. He included him in his hunting range because he coveted the other person's body, but because he thought the other person was very interesting, he decided to observe for a while. His care and desire for this person should obviously only stay Why do you gradually become more concerned about the other party's mood and past because of the liking and interest in the prey?

He couldn't figure it out.

I don't want to think about it either.

Probably something, on that day, when that person bathed in brilliance descended from the sky and appeared in front of him, it had already changed.It seems that since then, he will not have that ridiculous dream again and again.

——The dream in which he became a hero admired by all, and finally bathed in the holy light and reached the peak of glory.

In the dream, he clearly owned everything, countless people were kneeling at his feet, and the whole world seemed to be favoring and pampering him, but he didn't care about all of this, and just looked behind him for a long time.

— behind the empty one.

There should be something there.He always thinks like this in his dreams.

Nothing else is important, even if you give up everything you own, what he really wants, even at all costs, what he wants to win, what he wants to keep, from beginning to end... only this one thing.

—but...what the hell is that?

Hei Luomi in the dream couldn't figure it out, but in reality, he seemed to have the answer.

The violent snowstorm was still howling, and the young man standing on the flying carpet felt as calm as ever before.All the anger just now has dissipated, like the sea surface after the tide has receded, but no one can predict whether a new round of storm is brewing under this calm.

He looked at his empty right hand again, and in those dark night-like pupils, something began to burn quietly.

Whether it is the attachment to the prey or the desire in the heart, if you can't figure it out, you simply don't think about it anymore.

Just follow your intuition and instinct and you'll be fine.

It doesn't matter why you found me, or who you thought I was, but since you've provoked me, don't even think about getting out unscathed.

You don't want to disappear from me so easily again, no matter what happens again, you will never get rid of me again.

——You can't escape.

***

The dizziness during the magic teleportation made Ersie feel like vomiting. After everything calmed down, he slowly opened his eyes.

Back to the familiar open space again, there is no strong wind, no snow-capped mountains, only the warm sunshine sprinkled golden brilliance from the clouds, making people want to squint their eyes warmly.

Surrounded by people who had been eliminated from the examination room, everyone looked dejected, complaining and frustrated voices could be heard endlessly, and it felt as if someone was watching him. Erxi raised his head slightly and unexpectedly met Naylor's gaze.The examiner, still hanging in the air, took a deep look at Ersey and then looked away.

...to play tricks.

Ersie snorted softly, and took out his examination crystal card from his pocket. The light on it had already dimmed, and soon turned into a completely pitch-black useless card.

He lost.

Even if the world system is in chaos, and even the protagonist who decides the life and death of the world is replaced, but the trajectory of his own destiny remains the same.

——In the 218th reincarnation, he still failed to pass the entrance examination of Horst Castle School of Magic.

****Boundary Line of Reincarnation****

Again.

When there is only one step left from the finish line, all kinds of inexplicable situations will always happen to me.For example, this time, the second round of the test requires collecting enough brooches worn by candidates within the specified time. To be on the safe side, I snatched far more than the required amount, but when I was almost at the end, I found that the pocket where I stored the brooches was unknown. A hole was leaked, and all the brooches were lost.

I:"……"

Similar things happen in almost every cycle, and I am numb.With only 3 minutes left before the end of the race, I simply walked slowly towards the finish line, and then I was suddenly patted on the shoulder.

"Eh!"

Seeing the person coming, I almost thought I was dazzled: "Hei Luomi?"

Why is this guy here? ?Shouldn't he have reached the finish line long ago? !

"I waited for a long time at the finish line, but I didn't see you, so I turned back to take a look." Heluomi said with a relaxed face, "Have you collected enough brooches?"

Still in shock, I subconsciously shook my head.

"Oh." Heluomi suddenly grabbed my arm, and raised the wand in his other hand, "Then we have to speed up."

In the next second, if there is a substantial mass of wind elements enveloping us, we will be rolled up and rushed towards the finish line.Along the way, you can see many figures running towards the finish line. He Luomi waved the magic wand in his hand, and many people were caught off guard by the strong wind and swept into the sky. They screamed, and the brooches hidden on their bodies were easily blown by the pervasive wind. They were brought out from the sky, like a rain of brooches.

I was dumbfounded.

"There's only one minute left." Hei Luomi suddenly pushed my back, "Quick!"

I was carried by the wind element and rushed into the rain of brooches. I picked up a handful of golden brooches, until I landed at the finish line and was declared to have successfully passed the second round of tests. I was still in a daze.

Wait... This, this counts as a pass? ?

"Why?" After a long time, I opened my mouth with difficulty, looking at the person who walked in front of me, "Why do you want to help me?"

Hei Luomi didn't speak, just looked at me with a smile.

The sun was shining gently, and in the backlight, the boy's clear eyes were as bright as the stars in the night sky.I looked into those eyes quietly, and a strange idea vaguely emerged in my heart.

——Perhaps, this reincarnation will be very different from the ones I have experienced before...?
