Shattered

Thump, thump!

Lumian The sound of his own heartbeat sounded in his ears, and some scenes in his memory Depths seemed to be being dragged out slowly and with difficulty.

This gave him a feeling of Pain that his head was about to burst. He was extremely resistant and did not want to continue.

Outside Stained Glass, seeing that Ritual had already started, Ryan no longer hesitated and threw "Tanago Scarecrow" to Lya, signaling her to use Sealed Artifact to deal with Parish Priest, while he himself raised "Dawn Sword".

Under the shining light of the blossoming Golden Flame, Lya and Valentine walked around to the other side Stained Glass, with only a semi-convex cylindrical wall separating them from Ryan.

They were trying to avoid the damage caused by "Storm of Light" without affecting their own actions. With the "defense capability" shown by Saint Sies Church just now, they believed that there should be no problem if there was a certain barrier between the two sides. After all, Ryan would also try its best to control the direction of the attack.

Lya hugged "Tanago Scarecrow" from the back and attached it to the stained glass depicting Saint Sies's missionary scene. He aimed his eyes in the direction of Altar and Parish Priest Guillaume·Béné who was hosting Ritual.

On the other side, Ryan held the handle with both hands and inserted "Dawn Sword" on the windowsill.

This two-handed giant sword, which was purely condensed by light, immediately split apart and transformed into Hurricane in the form of countless sharp fragments and patches of light.

"Hurricane" instantly grew larger and captured Stained Glass in front of it.

With the clicking sound, the entire Church shook to a certain extent, and the glass surface cracked with tiny cracks one after another, like it was covered with countless spider webs.

However, it still stood there firmly and did not "get out of the way".

Upon seeing this, Ryan caused a little bit of Dawn to appear around it, condensing into a giant ax that needs to be held with both hands.

He can no longer use "Storm of Light" in a short period of time and can only change to another weapon.

Lya and Valentine successfully avoided the aftermath of "Storm of Light" with the help of the protection of the protruding wall. At this time, "Tanago Scarecrow" His eyes also fell on Parish Priest. The pair of eyes inlaid on the surface of brown-green Straw then reflected the figure of Robe, who was wearing white gold-trimmed silk.

Suddenly, Lya saw a layer of shimmer, a silvery white with black shimmer, emerging around Altar where Guillaume·Béné was standing.

With a snap, "Tanago Scarecrow"'s eyes burst open, and Blood-Colored's tears flowed down drop by drop.

Parish Priest looked here and then looked away.

When two sheep walked into Altar "on their own", he read out the next Incantation with a calm expression and a feverish tone:

"You are the eternal reincarnation, Predestination's Destiny, the cause, the result, and the process!"

Suddenly, the two Candle on Altar representing Deity elongated in light and became the size of a human head.

Inside Church, whining Wind Sound was heard, and every villager seemed to have turned into Statues. Only on the exposed parts such as the face and back of hands, there were faint silvery white and black sarcomas slowly protruding, one after another.

The silver-black shimmer that originally only surrounded Altar quickly spread in all directions, including the entire Church.

The spherical vault covered with murals then became transparent, and the high-altitude clouds dispersed. Crimson Moon became deeper and deeper, approaching Blood-Colored.

The Stars on the black velvet curtain was no longer covered, and lit up one after another, reaching a brightness close to that of Sun.

Suddenly, the night turned into day, and the villagers finally took action, murmuring in their sleep, "Zodiac has changed..."

"Good luck is coming..."

There were three thumps, but Ryan, Lya, and Valentine, who heard nothing but witnessed the scene, fell to the ground at the same time, rolling, wailing, and screaming, as if they were suffering from the huge Pain.

Ryan's skin turned gray-blue, Lya's face seemed to have countless Maggotss squirming, and granulations were about to grow, while Valentine lit up like Sun, from the inside to the outside, from top to bottom.

They are just one step away from entering the Loss of Control state.

"Tanago Scarecrow" was thrown aside and lay there shaking violently.

Lumian felt that his chest became extremely hot, and the terrifying sound that seemed to come from infinite distance and yet was close to him sounded in his ears again.

Invisible steel drills were inserted into his head and stirred. The pain caused the blood vessels on his body to protrude, and round silvery white and black spots loomed under his skin.

The invisible force enveloped him and brought him up from Altar.

The ropes that bound him and the cloth that stuffed his mouth turned into dust and floated into the air.

Aurora was also lifted up by this invisible force, floated above Altar, and faced Lumian.

Lumian's bloodshot eyes reflected Older Sister's disheveled Golden long hair, Cavern's light blue Eyes, a holy and dull face, and a simple but weird white Robe.

He tilted his head back suddenly, feeling that the familiarity and déjà vu from memory Depths came up again, and the accompanying pain was no weaker than those caused by those murmurs.

The surrounding pictures were "cut into pieces" and overlapped together, appearing simultaneously in Lumian's mind:

That has Parish Priest's solemn and fanatical expression;

There is Man in Black walking towards Altar step by step;

There are Shepherd Pierre·Berri crawling towards the ground;

There are transparent Church Dome;

There are high-altitude Crimson Moon and Zodiac;

There are villagers with dull expressions welcoming good luck;

There was a little bit of Distortion on the face, and Aurora seemed to feel the pain...

Lumian's spirit began to drift, and he felt that his body was being torn apart bit by bit by the invisible force, and more and more silver-black colors appeared on the surface of his body.

And he was completely unable to break away from the current constraints and find it difficult to make effective resistance.

"Ah!"

Lumian couldn't help but let out a scream. His chest was being opened a little bit, and a silvery white and black light came out and fell on Aurora.

Hearing Pain's voice, Aurora's eyes rolled slightly.

Her Cavern eyes reflected Lumian protruding blood vessels, expression Distortion, and a face hidden by silver darkness.

After a brief pause, she instinctively and rigidly stretched out her hands and pushed Lumian hard, pushing him out of danger.

Older Sister...Lumian stared blankly as Aurora pushed itself out of the Altar range.

Suddenly, the terrifying sounds in his ears disappeared, the invisible restraints on his body disappeared, and the burning sensation all over his body weakened.

But the pain in his head didn't change at all, and the scenes in memory Depths were forcibly dragged out.

It was like someone was using a hook to slowly pull his brain out of his head.

Aurora's light blue Eyes dyed with silver and black, Cavern's dull eyes, dull face, and firm and forceful push away movements Flash in Lumian's mind were almost the same as what he had just seen, except that the background was slightly different, and that Man in Black did not exist.

This exaggerated sense of déjà vu made Lumian instinctively wonder if something similar had happened before, which made him Pain scream in agony again.

Bang! He broke away from Altar and fell heavily to the ground.

Ignoring the severe pain in his head and his mental trance, Lumian jumped up suddenly and was about to pounce on Older Sister and take Aurora away from Altar.

A figure blocked his path, and the one Man in Black who was holding his face punched him on the right side of his face, knocking him to the ground.

Lumian did not have Despair, and with Courage who was pursuing death for a way out, he stood up again and rushed towards Man in Black who was blocking the front.

Snap!

Man in Black punched again, Lumian instinctively dodged Past.

He was stunned for a second, then a Distortion smile appeared on his face, and he growled, "Are you so fucking weak?

"As weak as me!"

Lumian forgot Parish Priest, forgot Shepherd Pierre·Berri, and pounced directly on that Man in Black.

Man in Black turned his body sideways, raised his right foot, and kicked and tripped Lumian's calf. However, Lumian did not dodge. Relying on the terrifying flexibility of "Dancer", he forcibly turned half of his body, stretched out his arms, and hugged the enemy.

Plop! He tripped and fell to the ground with Man in Black.

Man in Black quickly raised his right hand, pinched Lumian's neck, followed with his knees, and slammed into the enemy's crotch.

Lumian did not dodge or evade, and dug into the opponent's eyes with the five fingers of his right hand with his eyes red.

"Ah!"

Man in Black screamed, and his two eyeballs were forcefully pulled out by Lumian. Blood flowed everywhere, and Lumian instinctively curled up into a ball - the pain in his lower body almost made him faint.

He struggled and raised his body again, and smiled ferociously at Man in Black who was rolling on the spot, "Come on! Let's die together!"

"You coward! Coward!"

He rushed forward again and wrapped his arms around the other person's neck.

At this time, Pierre·Berri on the edge of Altar fought against the fear in their hearts, climbed up with difficulty, carried their own Axe, and ran to the side of Lumian.

Snap!

His Axes were heavily Downward Slashs, but they were blocked by the faint Gray Fogs that spread out from nowhere, unable to harm Lumians.

Pierre·Berri even exchanged two abilities, but neither could break through the protection of Gray Fog.

Parish Priest Guillaume·Béné Seeing this, he no longer hesitated and read out the following prayer:

"I pray to you,

"I pray that you will give Gift,

"Please Gift me..."

Before he finished reciting, there was a new Change around him:

Zodiac at high altitude moved little by little and changed its original position.

The entire Cordou Village shook violently, and every inch of soil in every house moved closer to Church.

The villagers disintegrated silently into organs one after another, including eyes, mouths, noses, hearts, fingers, and pure flesh and blood...

Very few of these things reorganize themselves into different people, some normal, some messy, some missing parts, some with extra stuff.

Most of the rest flew to Altar and Aurora.

Aurora cracks appeared on the surface of his body and quickly disintegrated into countless pieces of flesh and blood.

Seeing this scene, Lumian everyone was Despair.

But he didn't give up. He held down Man in Black's head, twisted it hard, and broke his neck with a snap in the face of the other party's horrified eyes.

Lumian stood up and rushed to Older Sister eagerly.

But there was an invisible shield around Aurora, blocking him.

Rumble!

Underground made a muffled sound, and Church began to rise. The trees, soil, and boulders outside the village, as well as the houses, furniture, and sundries in the village, all flew towards this side.

Most of the villagers' organs entered Altar, and together with Aurora's flesh and blood Aggregation, Distortion squirmed and turned into a Giant.

That Giant was four to five meters tall, with three heads and six arms. The whole body was made up of pieces of flesh and blood and organ fragments. There were cracks everywhere on the body surface and yellow pus was flowing.

Giant The head in the middle, full of Pain and regret, looked hard at Lumian.

Drops of transparent Blood-Colored tears slowly fell from the corners of "his" eyes.

Seeing this scene, Lumian's mind suddenly buzzed, and his whole person seemed to be split in half vertically by Axe.

His vision began to shake, and he "saw" Church broken into pieces, "saw" Blood-Colored "Mountain Peak" that gradually rose up, and "saw" Thorns made up of houses Distortion "City Wall", "see" Ruins in circles around "Mountain Peak", "see" various Monster that had to leave this area...

This...Lumian's head felt severe pain again.

While he looked at Giant and the surrounding Monster, countless tiny rays of light flew out of his body and fell into his chest, while he discovered that the scenes in his memory Depths had been completely dragged out, almost exactly the same as what he saw now.

This is...Lumian suddenly had a guess, and his headache became even worse.

Suddenly, everything in front of him became extremely unreal, with obvious cracks appearing, like broken glass.

This is! Lumian finally remembered something.

Then, he saw the Man in Black turned into Pitch-Black filthy liquid flying in front of him and flowing into his left chest.

"Ah!"

Lumian let out a scream of Pain, and saw that all the surrounding scenes completely collapsed.

He opened his eyes suddenly and found that he was lying under Blood-Colored "Mountain Peak". The "darkness" that seemed to come from Evernight had almost completely faded away.

Lumian subconsciously turned over and sat up, leaned forward, put his hands on the ground, and looked around.

He saw Thorns"City Wall" of Distortion, saw the wasteland without a single Weeds, saw "Dream Ruins" on the other side, and saw Ryan, Lya and Valentine lying on the edge of a room not far away.

They were sound asleep.

Lumian suddenly buried his head, raised his hands, grabbed his hair, Pain whispered, "Reality is Dream, Dream is reality?

"This is now, now is Past?

"Aurora, Aurora can't be saved?"

"Yes." A Women voice sounded in this Ruins.

Lumian raised his head blankly, and with blurred vision saw That One and the mysterious Lady appearing in front of him.

She wore the Orange-Yellow Long Dress outfit from the beginning and walked over step by step:

"That's why in your dream you are so eager to obtain extraordinary power regardless of any consequences;

"That's why you ignore others and even your own life, and just want to solve the concept of 'problem' as soon as possible Loop;

"That's why you can't control your instincts, say inappropriate words and do inappropriate things on certain occasions..."

Lumian stared blankly at the mysterious Lady, and found that the indescribable and unreadable strange emotion in her eyes appeared again.

But this time, he was finally able to read it.

That's mercy.
