Kingdom’s Bloodline

"What's wrong with me?"

Thales felt as if he was floating in the sky, and his mind was extremely relaxed. He asked faintly, "Where is this place?"

"Listen to me." Ashida's voice oozes out from the glowing silhouette:

"I don't know how to explain your current state - you are obviously just a contact person, whether it is your understanding of magic power or your own threshold name, you are far from being a magician..."

"No, you are still not a magician...I can feel that you are not one of us...but you are indeed 'knocking'..."

"It's like a baby who was just born and couldn't even control its limbs, and was suddenly sent to an altitude of 10,000 meters..." The voice of the magician of Qi was a little unsteady: "You are very dangerous now..."

"Danger?"

Thales didn't know how he made the sound, but he just spoke: "What do you mean... knock on the door?"

"Ashda" said with more anxiety: "After breaking through the first threshold, the magician will leave the physical state and enter the original state. Toros calls the moment of transformation a 'knocking'..."

"The magician who knocks on the door will be connected to other magicians in the world in consciousness - the magnitude is as violent as knocking on their door! In other words, the knocker is like lighting a torch in the dark. In an instant, he will be detected by all magicians, and those who are interested can directly lock your current location..."

at this moment.

Boom——

A muffled sound similar to just now seemed to ring in Thales' heart.

This muffled sound was piercing and sharp, and the lingering sound was endless, making people restless.

This is?

An ominous feeling came to my heart.

Boom...

Another muffled sound!

This muffled sound is like the deep beating of the heart, and it has a thrilling shock and heaviness!

In an instant, Thales suddenly felt that there was something more in this void.

He felt a sudden panic for no reason.

He's not the only one who feels this way.

"They're here!"

Ashida's voice became extremely hurried: "Go! It's too late to explain..."

"Get back to the physical state!"

Thales grabbed one or two strands of his vast thoughts and used them to think about the present.

right.

No matter what "they" are - never be kind to yourself.

Thales raised his eyes and looked at "Ashda" who was getting farther and farther away—or his silhouette.

At this moment, two sharp and compelling gazes projected towards him in the dark void.

The owner of the gaze kept approaching him.

Frightened, Thales' thoughts moved quickly like gurgling water:

I have to go now.

time to go.

Go, where are you going?

"Think about who you are...Think about what you should do...Think about what happened before you knocked on the door..." The glowing silhouette said anxiously: "Don't be immersed in your original state, you will lose yourself!"

who I am?

Is it important?

Just when Thales thought so.

"Thales!"

A crisp but full of fear, childish and crying voice came from a distance from nowhere.

His consciousness suddenly shook!

In the next moment, the dark void in front of Thales' eyes instantly emptied, and the outline of Ashida disappeared directly in front of his eyes.

Countless scenes that have stayed in the brain, no matter the sea or the desert, humans or animals, have faded like the tide.

It was like the curtain in a theater collapsed, exposing the original wall.

Snowflakes flashed in his vision, dead bodies flashed, ruined streets flashed, Dragon Clouds City's magnificent Palace of Heroic Spirits built halfway up the mountain, and hydras made of stumped limbs and flesh flashed past.

Finally, it stayed inside a tentacle made of countless flesh and blood.

This is... where?

he thought dazedly and perplexedly.

————

The inside of the tentacles, against the background of horror composed of scarlet blood and stumps,

The little slippery head knelt on the ground, looking at the boy who was hung up and stabbed to death in front of him, weeping in despair.

The blood mage——Giza Trilman looked at the little slippery man kneeling in the flesh and crying with an indifferent expression.

"You...you killed him..." Xiao Huatou's tears flowed down his cheeks.

She looked at Thales who was bound by tentacles in pain.

Giza frowned, and the blood spots on his face faded slowly.

The little slippery man obviously thought that Thales had suffered a tragic death.

She cried and stretched out a hand towards Thales, who was in a frightening situation.

Tears rolled down her face.

"I'm sorry..." Tears kept streaming down, and the little slippery bit his lip.

Giza looked at the little slippery head, the indifference in his eyes slowly turned into tenderness.

"Child," Giza, who was clinging to the inner wall of flesh and blood, changed his expression, as if comforting a child who had been robbed of candy, and said softly, "Don't be sad, it's not his fault..."

"It's not your fault either..."

Giza closed her eyes desolately, and two tentacles stretched out from the inner wall behind her again.

"It's our fault."

The tentacles rolled towards the little slippery head.

"Wow!"

Immediately, the little slippery face was full of horror and sadness, and was pulled into a deeper layer of flesh and blood by countless tentacles.

nowhere to be seen.

But the next moment, the blood magician opened his eyes suddenly, and screamed "Ah!"

She turned her head in disbelief, and looked at the "remains" of Thales, who was tied up in mid-air by tentacles.

"Why..." Giza shook her head slowly, her eyes filled with inconceivable astonishment:

"This is impossible."

In her eyes, Thales, who was pierced by countless tentacles, slowly opened his eyes.

ah.

turn out to be……

I am back again.

As if just waking up, Thales slowly raised his eyes, and looked at the person in front of him in a daze and dizziness.

His mind was a little confused, and he couldn't remember what was going on in front of him.

here it is……

yes……

Huh? Is that... severed hand? Offal? eyeball?

Flesh and blood?

Thales saw the environment he was in clearly.

etc.

He tried his best to divert his attention and consciousness from the hazy and chaotic thoughts, and locked his eyes firmly in front of him.

It was a girl covered in blood red, with her naked body stuck to countless flesh and blood.

She was looking directly at him with a subtle and complex expression.

Thales was in shock!

At that moment, as if the curtain was suddenly lifted, all the memories of Thales tonight flooded back and appeared in his brain.

Northland, King Nun, Grand Duke, Duel, Ashida, Sorcerer, Black Sword, Ramon, Little Slick, Giza, Hydra, Destroyed Shield Zone, Cleansing Edge...

And... At the last moment, he was pierced by Giza with countless spears.

The last image reappeared in his mind: a sharp stab, mercilessly piercing through his left eye.

No.

Thales trembled all over!

No!

Fear, panic, tension, worry, surprise, doubt...

It was as if all the emotions he had lost returned to Thales in an instant!

Seeing the magician in front of him clearly, Thales' breathing became short of breath.

And the illusory illusion just now, the thought of isolating everything, and the attitude of indifference, seemed to be just an illusion.

Just a dream.

"how……"

Thales found in a panic that his limbs were still bound by tentacles.

What scares him even more is...

Countless sharp thorns are still inserted into his body, passing through his body!

one through the left eye.

one through the throat.

Pass through the heart together.

There are countless others of the same kind, piercing almost every inch of his body.

He is like a hedgehog hanging in the air.

Thales gasped for breath, feeling terrified in his heart.

Especially... the sharp thorn on his head was still stuck in his left eye socket and pierced out from the back of his head!

but……

Huh?

Thales noticed something strange.

No blood flowed from the place where he was pierced.

No pain?

not itchy?

what happened.

This is me... Thales felt the tentacles and thorns all over his body in panic: What's wrong with me?

Become a ghost after death?

But Giza's words answered his doubts.

"Why...?" Gisa looked at the second prince in surprise, her tone was full of confusion and astonishment, "Why aren't you dead yet?"

Thales was taken aback when he heard this!

Why... still not dead?

He stared at Giza nervously, and looked at the spikes all over his body in surprise.

I... I'm not dead?

Giza's expression became more and more ugly, and the bloody spots on his face trembled violently.

"Then do it again!"

"Wait..." Thales was startled, and his heart beat violently!

But the magician ignored him.

The next moment, the tentacle stuck into Thales' left eye was suddenly drawn back with a pointed thorn, and then turned violently, stabbing out from the top of his head!

Feeling the movement of the tentacle, Thales trembled violently.

I……

But Thales remained motionless.

etc.

No pain……

Still no pain?

Thales was startled, and then slowly breathed a sigh of relief: I——I'm okay?

It was as if it wasn't him who was impaled at all.

"Impossible!" The bloody spots on Giza's body began to "grow" violently. She narrowed her eyes and showed an unprecedented cruel expression: "You have been pierced all over your body, why are you fine?"

"Can't you even feel pain?"

When Thales was about to answer "How do I know?"...

Giza suddenly changed color.

She felt something.

With an ugly expression, Giza raised her finger slightly.

Immediately, all the tentacles with sharp spikes piercing Thales' body moved at the same time!

Thales's scalp went numb, watching all the tentacles on his body keep moving.

this!

God!

"Zizz..." The familiar sound of flesh and blood came from these murder weapons.

Countless tentacles, starting from his chest, piercing, slashing, and cutting his upper body from all directions, starting from his head, pulling, slashing, and piercing his brain...

It was as if someone was holding countless knives, one front and one back, one left and one right, continuously twitching, piercing, and cutting Thales!

But Thales didn't move at all, he just stared at Giza blankly, his eyes occasionally wandering back from those tentacles.

As if the person who was cut was not him.

The cutting and piercing lasted a full ten seconds.

Until Giza stopped in a daze, and gradually slowed down with all the tentacles and thorns.

"How come..." The magician shook his head in shock, "Attack, it doesn't work for you?"

Thales panted anxiously, not knowing how to answer at all.

At this moment, his heart was full of panic and suspicion.

"Zi la..."

Countless tentacles and thorns were withdrawn from Thales' body.

But as if he had left the shadow, Thales didn't leave any wounds or blood on his body.

Even the clothes are complete.

It seems that Thales in front of him is just an illusory shadow full of colors.

Thales was completely shocked.

I'm - I'm physically immune?

But...my hands and feet are still tied tightly?

Out of the situation, he opened his mouth wide, completely unaware of how to react.

But indistinctly, he seemed to experience some similar feelings in that void just now...

For example, Thales had a premonition in her heart: no matter how terrifying Giza's spikes were—when she instigated these tentacled spikes to attack her...

The magicians seemed to stab in the wrong direction.

Suddenly, Giza's expression changed drastically. She seemed to remember something, then gritted her teeth, and raised her head abruptly!

I saw her angrily said:

"Sagar!"

"Sagel Todd!"

"Get out! You despicable obfuscator!" The magician turned his head, looked around vigilantly and resentfully, and there was deep anger in his words: "Is it you, damn old ghost?"

"Is your ability playing tricks?"

Her voice echoed through flesh and blood.

Several seconds passed.

Except for the sound of flesh and blood rubbing against each other, there was no sound responding to her.

Giza was slightly taken aback.

She reacted quickly.

The magician turned his head and looked at Thales with a strange and delicate expression.

"No, not Sagar..."

Giza murmured, eyes full of incredible surprise: "It's you..."

"you?"

Giza stretched out a tentacle and passed through Thales' body without hindrance.

The tentacles retracted again, and the place Thales passed through was unharmed—as if what passed through was just a phantom.

Giza didn't want to believe it, she stretched out another tentacle again, and stabbed Thales' bound right hand with the tip.

The result was just like just now, the right hand that could be bound by the tentacles was easily pierced by the front, and then pulled away.

Unscathed.

Now, even Thales was speechless.

Giza frowned deeply, and spoke intermittently: "This is...is this your ability?"

Is it "out of control" under the interference of magic energy?

impossible.

If out of control...

How can you do this?

Thales was also panting in a daze. He looked at his limbs that were still bound, and then at his body.

My ability?

What kind of ability is this...

Giza raised her eyebrows and shook her head violently, as if seeing the weirdest thing in the world:

"You are just a contact person, how can you use magic energy?"

But then she frowned fiercely, remembered something again, and her face changed drastically:

"Just now... were you knocking on the door?"

Thales still looked at his body, thinking hard.

Has he become a magician?

But...why don't I feel anything at all...

Apart from……

Can't hurt yourself except Giza?

"How could it be?" Giza gritted her teeth, her voice was low and full of hatred: "You are just the most basic contact person, not even a magician at all!"

"It's just out of control, how could it be possible to 'knock on the door'!"

Thales frowned.

He remembered what Ashida had said about "out of control" being uncontrollable.

Could it be...

Are you really special?

Giza stared at Thales with horror in his eyes:

"Did you really... knock on the door?"

At that moment, Thales swore that in the eyes of this unreasonable madwoman, he read despair, sadness, sorrow, and pain.

and guilt.

"No," Giza closed her eyes tightly, her tone sad: "You still...became a magician?"

Thales looked at her suspiciously: What's wrong with this crazy woman?

"No..." Giza gritted her teeth, tears rolled down her face, and she screamed hysterically, "No!"

"You are not a magician yet, you are still in contact, it was just an accident..." She opened her eyes suddenly, her expression was full of fierceness and determination: "There must be a way, there must be a way to kill you, first Starting from the interference of magic energy..."

The next moment, inside the giant tentacles, countless flesh and blood began to deform again!

The little black monsters Thales had seen broke out of the flesh and blood!

Thales was shocked!

He took a deep breath, and his brain was running fast: if you can't figure it out, don't think about it.

The most important thing is... to solve the immediate problem first.

Get rid of this crazy woman!

But the moment the second prince raised his head.

"Hiss..."

A newly born little black monster kicked its hind legs and threw itself into Thales' almost phantom body.

"puff!"

Then it exploded into flesh and blood inside his body.

If Ashida had been here, he would have recognized it as Giza's move to keep him from returning to human form after knocking him apart.

At that moment, Thales only felt his whole body fluctuate.

It's like breaking the surface of the water and making ripples.

Then, a burst of sharp thorn fragments slashed across his left arm.

"laugh!"

Pain strikes.

This time, Thales' dead soul found out in a panic: blood was drawn on his left arm!

His "phantom" body—seemed to be invalid?

"Look, I knew it," Giza smiled excitedly after seeing this scene, "Magic energy interference is still effective..."

"Hiss..." Following Giza's movements, more and more dark monsters rushed into Thales' body!

Then they exploded.

The stump flew out of the explosion and swept out of Thales' body.

"Ah!" Thales cried out in pain.

The side of his calf was pierced by an exploded thorn.

Blood flowed.

Starting from the surface of the body, Thales' special ability seems to be gradually failing!

Thales looked at the countless monsters rushing in horror.

One after another pain came from the surface of the body.

more and more……

It hurts more and more.

It was also mixed with Giza's laughter and the screams of the monsters.

"Hiss..."

Thales closed his eyes in pain, feeling the monsters passing through his phantom-like body surface and exploding in his body one by one.

Then leave scars on the body surface.

He had a hunch that it would not be long before the ability to live on would completely fail.

At that time...

"Hiss..."

No.

No!

Another monster exploded in his lower abdomen, and a sharp pincer pierced his left abdomen when it flew out of the body.

pain!

"Hiss..."

Amidst the pain and the explosion and hiss of the monster, Thales desperately recalled.

hurry up……

quick!

whatever……

Anything that can save me...

"Hiss..."

"Pfft!"

Hei Jian's words flashed in his heart:

[I slid her tentacles away with "Extreme Shock"...]

Thales was shocked.

He remembered the high vibrations Giza had used to knock him down.

More and more little monsters are coming.

The next moment, a pitch-black monster passed over his cheek, but it didn't pass through, but drew a bloodstain.

His "Phantom" has officially expired.

The blood magician snorted softly.

Thales has no time for surprise and fear.

He didn't care, just gritted his teeth.

According to the gist taught by Hei Jian, he called out another kind of power in his body.

Help me, prison river sin.

A matter of life and death.

help me!

With the rise of firm thoughts, the sin of Hell River spread over his limbs like life.

I need to……

Those who can get rid of these tentacles...

strength!

As long as you can... slip them off!

The next moment.

"Om..."

There was a low hum that only Thales could hear.

Thales' limbs trembled violently at a speed that was almost invisible to the naked eye!

The second prince took a sharp breath, feeling that his whole body was about to be shaken to pieces by the tremors of the sin of Hell River.

this feeling...

Giza's eyelids suddenly widened!

In the next second, the four tentacles that bound Thales shook, and Thales immediately loosened from midair.

A monster flew over his head, cutting off a hair of his head.

"Boom!"

Thales fell to the ground that was also made of flesh and blood, panting heavily.

The crime of hell river receded from his limbs.

Thales gritted his teeth and wanted to stand up.

But all he felt was a moment of numbness in his muscles, and then he fell backward again.

"thump!"

Thales touched the flesh and blood under his feet, and inside was a sticky bloody ear, and was startled.

But the next moment, a huge soreness came from the limbs!

He was shaking violently, sweating profusely, and his limbs were weak.

so tired...

very sour……

it hurts……

Every muscle in his body began to ache, and he almost lost all his strength.

After finally breaking free from the shackles, I don't even have the strength to walk a step!

But more little monsters have already rushed towards him!

Thales widened his eyes, feeling extremely sad.

It seems that the 'extreme shock' just now exceeded what his body could bear...

so……

No, Thales felt the soreness of his limbs, and looked at the monsters in front of him with some despair.

Looking at the smiling Giza, he thought hopelessly: Is this the end?
