Chapter 497 "Lavinia" and "Akashi"?
"You are... Akashi? No..."
Colin struggled to support himself while staring ahead.
The figure that gradually emerged from the edge of the fire looked exactly like Akashi, even the face, clothes and hairstyle were almost the same.
But the only difference was that in her hand, she was dragging a black sickle.
She walked in mid-air, and in the darkness below her, there were a large number of "Night" believers praying in low voices.
The believers still kept their heads down, unaware of what was happening above or of Colin's arrival...
"Lavinia."
Colin spoke slowly.
Compared to him who was almost unable to move due to the overwhelming pressure at this moment, Lavinia, a believer of "Night", was obviously much more relaxed and at ease.
Moreover, as the will of "Night" slowly emerges, the believers of "Night" here have ushered in an epic version enhancement.
Colin also had to muster up all his energy.
Lavinia stepped into the firelight and looked up at him slightly: "You are finally here."
"What do you mean by that..."
Colin frowned, feeling that something was wrong.
Moreover, he found that the enemy seemed to have no intention of attacking.
Besides that, there was one thing he didn't understand.
In order to get closer to him, Lavinia had always maintained the appearance of Ikashi. Except for the sickle, her whole body was exactly the same. Now...
Logically speaking, why would he remain like this when he had already been exposed?
Also, where did Akahi go?
Looking at Lavinia, who looked like an identical twin, Colin suddenly felt that something was amiss...
"Only when this day approached did I find out who I was... I know you must have a lot of doubts about me and Akashi, but before it's over, the only thing I can tell you is that I can be her, and she can be me. In the end, I also want to leave here..."
ah?
After hearing what the other party said, Kelin was confused. You can be her, and she can also be you?
One thing he was certain of was that although Lavinia and Ikashi looked the same, they were definitely two separate individuals...
But now...
What is going on?
At this moment, Lavinia walked into the range of the campfire's flames and said, "But before I leave, I have to clean up the mess these stupid outsiders have made..."
As she spoke, pitch-black thorns with a metallic sheen began to grow from within her dark robes and from the sickle in her hand...
It seemed to be growing slowly, but soon, the thorns wrapped around her layer by layer.
Sharp black thorns pierced into every part of his body, mercilessly breaking through the skin and flesh. Bright red blood flowed out, gathering at the soles of his feet and dripping...
However, the falling blood turned into mist and rose up, surrounding her.
Colin couldn't help but feel an inexplicable pain when he saw this. At this moment, this leader of the "Night Faction" looked very strange, yet full of indescribable beauty.
Moreover, in this process, her aura was also undergoing some changes.
"This breath, why does it feel a little familiar..."
Colin vaguely sensed something.
"These stupid outsiders" probably don't refer to him and the Earth employees, but the people on the train.
And this tone...
Are Lavinia or Akahi the true "indigenous people" of this world?
"There are actually still living people in this ghost world, and they even sneaked into the carriage with those people?"
"What is her current identity? What does she want to do? Is she going to summon the 'Lady of Thorns' who is unknown whether she is dead or alive?"
Thoughts flashed through Colin's mind.
But at this moment, above the dome filled with night, invisible darkness surged again, accompanied by some kind of incomparably grand consciousness fluctuation...
The "bonfire" beside Colin suddenly dimmed.
The original range of the firelight was compressed by almost one third due to the fluctuation of "Darkness"'s consciousness!
this……
This is just the other party possibly "thinking about it" for a while, but not actually taking action!
Colin felt that the thing seemed to "not see" him.
Otherwise, it is highly likely that it will not just end with “thinking about it”.
And with this, all the followers of the "Night Cult" in the place below fainted...
“Gurgle gurgle…”
An indescribable hunger rose from my stomach.
"Let me... out..."
"Release me..."
"If you want to live, you have to eat..."
The "hunger" that took root deep within Colin's body seemed to be stimulated, struggling to break through.
However, as some kind of power from an infinite distance swept over...
The sound of "hunger" suddenly fell silent.
"Hiss, through me, the 'hunger' in my body is aroused?"
Colin's eyes froze slightly.
This method of attack is somewhat incomprehensible, and its precision is a bit unbelievable...
"It's probably because the power of 'divinity' can't exceed too much, otherwise it will be locked by 'night'. However, the power of 'fire bearer' doesn't seem to involve too much 'divinity', so it can be used without worry..."
"Hiss, 'Night' is really cruel. 'Hunger' just showed up and yelled about being hungry and I was knocked unconscious..."
As the thought flashed through his mind, Colin no longer hesitated. After "Dark Night" accidentally solved his "internal troubles", he directly released all the effects that could be activated on his body!
"Release the containment protocol item for 'Revolver Reverser'..."
"'Potential Burst'..."
"Colorless crystals x 30..."
“…”
As various effects superimposed on each other, the flames on Colin's body burned and expanded rapidly.
The deep darkness here has receded a lot...
"I don't care who you are! What is your identity? If you are a collaborator, summon him out immediately!"
Colin shouted to the "Lavinia" who was wrapped in black thorns and seemed like a different person.
The pressure brought by the "dark night" is increasing...
That ancient and terrifying existence seemed to have only just noticed the situation here and was turning more of its attention here. In this situation, even Colin could not guarantee how long he could hold on.
Lavinia nodded, and then Colin could feel it.
The power of a certain active "information group" emanated from her...
It was somewhat similar to the encounter with the "Branch" on the night of "World No. 13", but it was not the same one.
"Is she really going to summon that 'Lady of Thorns'? Hiss, it's fluctuating again..."
Colin didn't have time to think about it and focused all his attention and energy on maintaining the campfire.
The deepening darkness formed a thick gray fog at the border where it met the firelight...
In less than ten minutes, Colin clearly saw that the range of the flames had shrunk again.
At the same time, the terrifying pressure became increasingly clear...
"puff……"
A blood vessel suddenly burst on Colin's forehead, where veins were exposed. Blood broke through the skin and spurted out.
As soon as the blood spurted out of it, it immediately began to burn violently.
This shows that his strength has been used to its limit.
But even so, he was still losing...
If you are not a true "Fire Bearer", you simply do not have the ability to fight against the "Night"!
Even the body plus some "hunger" fragments are not very useful.
"Hurry up, I've been carrying this for a whole fucking year. Are you trying to get people or hatch eggs? Why are you so slow?"
Colin couldn't help cursing in his heart.
If you really can't get anyone to come, just come up and take on the pressure of "Darkness" and let him come and get people!
Let's first pull over "King of Mad Sound" or something to help him out...
Now, he truly felt that what flowed through his body was no longer blood, but flammable substances...
At best, there are a few red blood cells mixed in the combustible material.
If he continues like this, even if he is not swallowed by the darkness, he will be blown up!
The difficulty of holding a fire under the power of "Night" was far beyond his imagination!
And it was at this critical moment that he suddenly felt a terrifying aura rising from where "Lavinia" was...
With the emergence of this power, the pressure on him suddenly eased.
The compressed flames and flames also spread out again...
It seems that there is a force that supports the current situation where the building is about to collapse.
