Steel steam and flame

Moving quickly towards the door of the room, Nolida knew Cassia's plan, and of course he would not let him succeed easily. His body also jumped towards there, chasing Cassia's retreating body. The pneumatic battle ax held tightly in his hand dragged white steam and scorching twisted air towards Cassia.

The narrow range of the room's porch could not restrict the powerful pneumatic ax in Nolida's hand. Sparks and instantly heated metal particles flew in the direction of the tomahawk's strike. Cassia could only turn around and walk backwards. Exit the room, and at the same time use a forged steel sword to block all the metal particles that are almost heated to incandescence in front of you. If these things splash onto the body, it will not be as simple as just burning a little skin. The heat above can char all the flesh and blood on the surface in a second, reaching straight to the bones below. And the subsequent chain reactions in the body's tissues are also a headache.

Not far behind him was the tattered metal door. Cassia compressed the power in her body and went a little faster, getting out of the scope of Nolida's pneumatic axe.

The warm light in the corridor enveloped Cassia's body. Although it was not as spacious as the room, the space in the corridor also gave Cassia, who had been forced to defend, a chance to use swordsmanship to counterattack. In those days at school, I spent a lot of time practicing swordsmanship. It was not just simple things like swinging the sword every day and controlling the accuracy and strength of the chop. It was more about practicing my familiarity with the forged steel sword in my hand. Make every sword strike just right.

And there is Kara's sniper rifle at the end of the corridor, which is the more critical thing. Although he knew nothing about the pneumatic weapon in Nolida's hands, this did not hinder the fact that it could still be destroyed by powerful bullets.

This weapon is indeed very powerful. At least in the room, Cassia is the one who is passively beaten and avoided. Although the bulkiness of the battle ax exposed many flaws in Nolida's body, even if there was room for attack, Cassia did not dare to attack rashly in the face of the powerful battle ax in his hand. Unless it is a fatal blow, his attack can be caught by Nolida at any time. He can dodge with one strike, but the forged steel sword in his hand will be destroyed by the next attack. .

When she stepped into the corridor again, Cassia didn't hear any gunshots, not even the sound of metal collision. There was only the mournful cry of the merchant ship in the high-altitude turbulence.

Cassia's eyes first looked towards the hall. Floss's room was on the edge of the hall, and the battle between Leigh and him was likely to take place in the hall. But in his sight, the equipment in the hall was intact. Only Gustin's broken body lay at the intersection of the corridor and the hall, and Klitsch's gradually cold body was lying quietly in a pool of blood that was gradually congealing. middle.

Not in the hall, Cassia reacted in an instant, his head turned 180 degrees again, and his footsteps led him subconsciously towards the end of the corridor, that is, towards the elevator shaft. As expected, Nolida did not rush out of the room. Instead, he stood carefully at the door and used the mirror to check the specific situation in the corridor.

"What a cautious person." Cassia glanced at Nolida's movements, and then looked at the end of the corridor. He wanted to know how the situation of Li, Kara and Flos was. In his impression, Li was very strong, and with Kara, an excellent sniper, interfering, there shouldn't be any problems.

But when his eyes turned away, Floss was just as he expected, his body was sitting limply against the wall at the end of the corridor. There was an eye-catching blood stain on the wall, and the flowing blood soaked the carpet under his body.

Flos died, that was to be expected. But Li was also sitting slumped not far away. His white-gray dress was stained with blood and there were many scars on it. His face was pale and weak, and blood was spitting out from his mouth from time to time. He no longer had the strength to stand anymore. The appearance of getting up.

And at the end of the corridor where Kara should be squatting with a sniper rifle, Kara's figure has disappeared. Her body was lying on the red carpet not far from Flos. From a distance, she could see the bloody wound on her left back vest.

In just a minute or two, everything seemed to have changed. Like Klitsch, Kara also turned into a lying corpse, and Lee's state seemed to be almost unbearable. Could it be that out of the twenty people who came out together at the beginning, he would be the only one left in the end? Or is there no one left?

Cassia couldn't see clearly Kara's buried face, her tied hair was spread out, and it was also stained with blood. The modified sniper rifle was also lying next to her body. Just like her body, it seemed to be losing its proper temperature, even though it was originally a cold killing instrument.

In the end what happened? Cassia's head suddenly began to be filled with blood, and there was something there that kept knocking on his spirit, and a low-pitched buzzing sound appeared in his ears at some point. The speed of his heartbeat began to accelerate without limit, and sweat like blood began to ooze out from his already red face. The blood vessels on his forehead bulged out, beating with the rhythm of his heart. He could no longer bear the rapid flow of blood inside. Blood pressure. Something wants to break through the limitations of Cassia's body and stir up. The muscle fibers everywhere in the body are also twisting and squirming crazily. At this moment, they seem to be alive. Cassia felt a sick feeling in her stomach, and her good breathing rate was completely disrupted the moment she saw Kara's body.

The air that entered the lungs after taking a big breath seemed to be moist. Could it be the moisture in Kara's blood? Cassia's nose was filled with the rich smell of blood and gunpowder smoke, which included the smell of the blood of Gustin and Krichens, and of course the smell of blood flowing from his own arms and legs.

In this short period of time, Nolida also determined the situation in the corridor. Holding a pneumatic ax, he rushed towards Cassia who was standing in the middle of the corridor and breathing heavily. The strong body jumped in front of Cassia and slashed hard with another blow. The dark red shadow swept through the air in an arc with twisting steam smoke, reaching the sky above Cassia's head.

"We can't hide anymore." Nolida felt happy in his heart, but the power injected into the battle ax in his hand increased by more than three points. The muscles on his body were also bulging at this moment, and this ax poured all his strength into it. He was bound to take advantage of Cassia's daze at this moment to split him in half in front of him.

"Precisely because it will have a huge impact on oneself, it is correct to treat things like partners and allies as things that can be used." Nolida suddenly sighed in his heart for the dying enemy in front of him. Through the mirror, he I also saw the entire scene at the end of the corridor. He had never thought that Cassia would be affected by the death of his teammates. People in the military school are all walking machines. This is how others evaluate them. Emotional processing is also a very important part of growth. . But the young guy in front of me seems to have a big problem with this.

Such a state of confusion during battle can be fatal. Nolida swung the pneumatic battle ax mercilessly, and the speed of the dark red streamer suddenly increased when it reached the top of Cassia's head. This blow, in Nolida's eyes, was already an unavoidable blow.

But at this moment, Cassia raised her half-buried face. There was indescribable sadness and frustration on his face. He originally wanted to pull Carla out of the abyss in the Twenty-Third Duke's family at the right time, although he was now deeply trapped in it. But now it seems there is no chance.

Nolida saw the eyes of Cassia who raised her head at this moment. They still had very ordinary crimson cross pupils, but after just a glance, the sudden addition of something inside made Nolida's heart suddenly tremble. That was definitely not something that a creature like a human should have. The cross pupils in those eyes seemed to come alive. When Nolida looked at it, he could clearly feel the vitality in it. At this time, he was afraid. He was afraid of the eyes of a person who was about to die.

But the trembling of the heart was the trembling of the heart, and the power poured into Nolida's hand was even greater at this moment. He transformed all the fear that suddenly arose in his heart into his own power, and wanted to return all the battle ax in front of him. of Cassia.

"Bang,,,bang,,," dozens of crisp sounds came in succession.

Nolida's body began to fall back involuntarily, and all the muscles in his body were trembling. The jaws of the hands holding the battle ax were all open with thick wounds, and his consciousness was blurred at this moment. When his body was about to stand still naturally, in his eyes, the forged steel sword broken into dozens of sections fell to the ground. And because of the severe pain in his hands, the nerves began to tremble, and the pneumatic battle ax in his hands also felt like he couldn't hold it. He looked at the forged steel sword without the blade in Cassia's hand and took a long breath. The young man in front of him seemed to be in a different state than before.

At that moment, he saw Cassia swinging the forged steel sword dozens of times to offset the power of his pneumatic battle axe. Starting from the tip of the forged steel sword, although every attack on the pneumatic battle ax will cause the forged steel sword to break instantly, the result of each break of the sword body is to offset the huge damage on the pneumatic axe. strength. As the forged steel sword broke piece by piece at that moment, the power of the pneumatic battle ax was completely blocked by Cassia at the expense of the forged steel sword being completely scrapped. The force of the counter-shock also forced Nolida to take a few steps back, and his body had not completely stopped at this time.

Then Nolida felt himself being pulled by something, his retreating body stopped instantly, and the wrists of the two hands he was holding on the battle ax were also held by a pair of fiery palms.

"What's wrong!" Nolida suddenly felt a cold feeling all over his body, because he subconsciously felt that there was an extra figure beside him at some point, and there were changes on the arms, feet, and body of that figure. Something bulged out, as if some living creature was trying to break through the cage made of that thin layer of skin. A total of twenty-four hideous and ugly bulge-like substances protruded. On that figure, a pair of blood-red cross pupils were looking at him indifferently.

The hot air gushing all over Nolida's body suddenly turned into cold sweat covering his body. His hands immediately let go of the pneumatic battle axe, and he wanted to pull away, but it was already too late. Without making a sound, Nolida gritted his teeth and endured all the pain caused by his shattered wrist. His face turned from red to pale, and his whole body was shaking.

When the pneumatic battle ax fell to the ground, Cassia looked over indifferently. Nolida clenched his teeth, his eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes called pain, and the pale face suddenly appeared in Cassia's eyes. The eyes are getting closer. Then there was a huge pain on his forehead, and Cassia's slow consciousness realized that Nolida was hitting him hard with his own bald head.

Still with the same indifferent expression, Cassia grabbed Nolida's wrist and squeezed it tightly. Her confused mind also imitated Nolida's behavior and hit Nolida's head hard.

Both of them seemed to have gone crazy, one because of the severe pain and the desire to kill the enemy, but the other was deeply paralyzed by the sight in front of him.

The sound of the banging of the head was as loud as the bells ringing every prayer in the church. This was the sound of blessing for the dead. It was also the leading note for the band to enter the last chapter. The lamentation of the merchant ship became At this time, the best accompaniment, the people lying down in the corridor who had never made a sound, became the last few spectators.

Nolida and Cassia have turned into the most primitive beasts. They only know how to bite with their teeth and hit with their hardest skulls. They will not stop until the skin on their skulls breaks and blood splashes into their eyes. Wink. His head was shaken by the force, and his consciousness quickly blurred. He did not forget what seemed to have become an instinctive action - using all the strength of his body in conjunction with the movement of his neck, he made his head hit the front where his vision was blurred by blood. They are obsessed with this crazy game, and the condition for stopping is that the other person dies in pain,

I don’t know when I was immersed in it, and I don’t know when I woke up. Cassia’s chaotic consciousness fell into the dark abyss at some point. The lights at the end of the consciousness were like the heavy train departing from the small town. , slowly increasing in speed, getting faster and faster, and getting smaller and smaller, until it was gradually sucked into the depths of the rich white mist in the morning and disappeared.

When a whistle-like roar suddenly sounded in her mind, Cassia suddenly broke into a cold sweat. There was an extremely fishy smell in her nose, which was the smell of fresh blood, mixed with the smell of brain matter.

Nolida's body was leaning against the wall of the corridor, and his head had been completely shattered by the combined impact of Cassia's impact and the steel wall. What was hanging on Nolida's neck in front of him was just the remains of a piece of head.

Cassia regained a little consciousness in her dull eyes, and looked at the chaotic scene in front of her unintentionally, the mixture of blood and brain matter splashing on the wall, and the blood that kept falling from her eyebrows and eroding her eye masks. Cassia's paralyzed body began to corrode towards the depths of her heart and consciousness. Everything is like a dream world in sleep.

"How I wish this was just a dream I had in the relisted cargo box, and I didn't pick up the revolver, touch the golden bullet, and meet Noel who was like a kitten looking for a home. , and there is no steel trigger that was pressed hard in the darkness."

Cassia turned her head. Carla's body, which seemed to have become cold, was still lying there. Everything was not a dream. The pain in her arms and feet, as well as the inhibitory tubes in her body that wanted to break through the skin, told Cassia that this Everything happened after the fact.

He was not dreaming in the relisting box. He picked up the rough revolver, picked up the golden bullet, touched Noel, and then smashed the pale civilian's head. The civilian's appearance after death was so similar to Nolida now.

Cassia walked towards Kara, and Li struggled to stand up at this moment, with a playful light in his eyes. He held a cane sword with a white-gray blade in his hand, and walked towards Cassia step by step while supporting his body.

Cassia stopped a few meters in front of Kara's body. The place was already filled with the smell of Kara's blood.

",,,,,,," I wanted to speak, but all the notes were stuck in my throat, my whole body was shaking, my face was twitching uncontrollably, and blood and tears were flowing down from my blood-red eyes. After so many days and so many things, Cassia felt that she had not become strong and cold-blooded, but instead became more fragile and tender.

"Mr. Cassia, I'm sorry." Li walked to Cassia and stood in front of Cassia with a cane and sword, looking at Kara's motionless body and said, "Please don't be sad."

Li's words were very sincere. He comforted Cassia, and then raised the hand holding the cane and sword, as if his shaky body stood upright at this moment.

"I will send you there right away to meet Miss Carla, who you are sad for!" As the words fell to the ground, the cane sword aimed at Cassia's heart and stabbed hard at Cassia's heart. But as if he had expected it, Cassia stretched out his left palm to block the sword. The sharp stabbing sword penetrated Cassia's palm without any accident, continued forward, penetrated his body, and a blood-stained sword tip penetrated Cassia's back.

Is this what Kara really felt like when her heart was stabbed? The physical pain is nothing compared to the tearing of the heart.

It failed to hit the heart. The trajectory of the cane sword changed because of Cassia's palm, penetrating through the center of his chest, just avoiding the heart. The cane sword pierced Cassia's body. Cassia's whole body trembled in pain. The blood was gurgling out along the cane sword, with a scorching temperature on it.

"Damn it." Li cursed, his voice returned to an ordinary male voice, and he wanted to withdraw the cane sword, but Li found that the cane sword blade was tightly held by Cassia's bleeding palm.

Li Xuebai's face showed an excited smile, and his whole body erupted with desire like a burning flame.

"It seems that he has been discovered a long time ago, Mr. Cassia!" His voice changed back to a soft voice, staring straight into Cassia's cold eyes, "Mr. Cassia Tussos, military school comprehensive results The genius ranked 1024, whether it is the meticulousness of his mind or the strength of his strength, even if he has twenty-four inhibitory tubes in his body, he can still exert a strength that is almost more than that of a student with one inhibitory tube. I really want to stab your body Slowly dissect it with one knife to see what structure is inside!" Li hummed a few times as if enjoying it, not caring at all about Cassia's cold face. Pleasure has always been a person's business.

"Mr. Li, this sword is what I give you back." Cassia's voice was filled with gratitude, "Thank you for what you said to me in the small garden, which made me know my true situation and made me For the first time, I had an intuitive understanding of the heights of the imperial pyramid that I had always longed for."

"Thank you very much, otherwise I would have died in the underground mine a long time ago, and I wouldn't be standing in front of you now." Cassia said word by word to Li Xuebai's face, and then paused. The voice seemed to be searching for the right words to express.

"But, as Kara said, you do make people feel uncomfortable from the bottom of their hearts."

"That's the best compliment to me. Then, will you prepare any gifts to thank me?" Li smiled.

"I didn't prepare it." Cassia closed her eyes tightly for a moment, then suddenly opened them, and the speed of her right hand was faster than Li's reaction speed at the moment. Cassia, with her rejection reaction fully activated, is not a beast that Leigh can resist now. Even though the cane sword was still stuck in his chest, it did not prevent Cassia's palm from tightly grasping the clothes on Li's chest. When Li suddenly rotated the cane sword and continued to expand the wounds on Cassia's palm and chest, a huge force He instantly lifted Li up and threw it behind him.

A long section of the ceiling was knocked down by Li's body, and the lamps clattered down.

The cane sword was finally withdrawn by Lee, and a large amount of blood spurted out of Cassia's chest. He turned around tremblingly, shaking, but with a smile on his face. While spitting blood out of his mouth, he said the words he had not continued just now.

"That's what Carla prepared for you. It's an exquisite bullet."

So the sound of sniper bullets piercing the air echoed in the empty corridor, with the screams of merchant ships as the background.
