Wasteland Echoer

"Ouch!"

A wolf howl mixed with sadness and excitement came out, and Wright realized that the person in front of him was definitely the "young wolf", the "lonely wolf" who discussed [Sacrifice] and [Guardian] with him in "Grey Dream" "Wolf Club" boy.

Slightly sluggish, staring with tears in his eyes at the "young wolf" biting and fighting with the huge spine and tail, Wright suddenly felt the dangerous atmosphere around him, as well as the strong "sadness" that permeated the surrounding environment. Much weakened.

Looking at the "young wolves" jumping back and forth "excitedly", leaping and fighting like dancers, Wright licked his dry and rough lips, which still had a bit of the smell of blood, and murmured softly:

"Ivan Ross? The boy from the Lone Wolf Society, the 'young wolf' in the Gray Dream, right? You shouldn't be in pain anymore, right?"

Suddenly, Wright's mind replayed the sad cry for help he heard from the "young wolf" when "MB-101: The Lamp of Hope" forced him into the "Grey Dream" that day in Chekavsk. Voice.

Then, he remembered what "Red-faced Hain" told him about the future of [Order]. Suddenly, he felt that he had taken a crucial step towards the existence of that "King + Pope".

After a few seconds, he quickly sorted out the messy thoughts in his mind and placed the wind steadily in a soft place covered with green grass that exuded a faint fragrance of flowers and earth.

Immediately, he picked up the "Bear Bear" pistol and shot towards the tail of the spine.

bump!

This attack went surprisingly smoothly. I don't know if it was because the bite of "Young Wolf" diverted the broken and somewhat crazy attention of "Giant Ningwan", or because most of his magic source power had been consumed.

Anyway, the bullet penetrated the sharp-looking bluish-black tail of the spine.

What surprised him was that after the tail of the spine broke and fell to the ground, it instantly turned into a puddle of powder exuding white burning smoke.

A second later, the powder seemed to be ignited, gathered, entangled, intertwined, squirmed, flipped and fluttered in place, and finally turned into a large piece of soft, earth-like material, swaying outwards. Untouched, irregular objects carrying powder blown by the wind.

Wright concentrated his attention, suppressed some of his trance and continued to observe. The irregular object was actually alive, twisting its ugly body, and extending four or five flesh-colored tentacles in the direction of the "young wolf" Rush away quickly.

"Ouch!"

A battle roar and an angry "whoosh" sound passed through his throat.

The "young wolf" chose to open its mouth wide, contracted the muscles near the claws of its limbs, backed up a few points, jumped up, suppressed the flesh-colored tentacles with its claws, and actually bit it in one bite!

Poof!

Splashes of azure and bright red juice!

After several bites, the irregular object in front of the "young wolf" was torn, ravaged, and destroyed, and finally turned into a pool of unconscious fragments that gradually became silent.

There was even a small explosion in the part that was not torn, and the juice splashed out, making the "young wolf" look in the face.

Fortunately, "Giant Condensing Wish" didn't react until the spine and tail completely turned into a dead mass, completely inert.

He wailed and roared in pain, and fell down in an area that was burned by the fire. Only a ruined wall, broken bricks, and some exposed steel bars were left, and he briefly lost his voice.

Immediately afterwards, after the "young wolf" flapping around excitedly for a few times, he quickly rushed to the position directly opposite Wright with vigorous steps, showing a smile that belonged to a beast.

Immediately, a high-pitched, childish human voice came out of his throat that was not consistent with his size:

"Human beings cannot drive fate, but they can be driven by fate. During this period of time, I have suffered a lot of pain and torture. Now, Mr. 'Echoer', I can finally get rid of this skin that was imposed on me that does not belong to me, and transform back into I’m my original self.”

"I'm looking forward to it and congratulations to you, Ivan. You can finally get rid of the pain." Wright said expectantly.

A small bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth at first, then it turned into relief, joy, and finally a full-faced, surprised laugh.

He tried his best to suppress the inexplicable excitement of seeing the true form of the "young wolf" whom he had met several times in "The Gray Dream", although he did not fully understand a human being, or an alien who was a [sacrifice]. Why does the body of a capable person turn into a beast?

Generally speaking, this kind of meeting is like meeting a netizen on the Internet in the previous world, and the chat was very speculative. Although the character changed was not Wright's favorite, and they even discussed it through the "wireless terminal" Once, the conditions for a "rush" meeting proposed by the other party were very tempting. For Wright himself, the benefits far outweighed the disadvantages.

Making friends online and meeting offline are very worth looking forward to.

Wright thought to himself, imagining as much as possible the true appearance of Ivan Ross, the man known as "The Young Wolf."

Although I heard some information about the Lone Wolf Society and Ivan from Brett and the dead Moros when I was in the town of Migov and in the city of Chekavsk.

But after all, seeing is worth hearing a hundred times.

Any verbal description can only make the listener fill up some information, but the real impact of the picture is the most visually shocking and the most realistic scene.

While thinking about it, the body of the "young wolf" in front of Wright was covered with scars and blue and red juice exuding an indescribable smell. Wrapped in light.

Just like the fantasy, beauty, and slightly fearful emotions I felt when I entered the "Grey Dream" for the first time.

Wright actually involuntarily opened his arms and stepped back.

He wanted to embrace this light, which seemed to be mixed with a little "breath of God", but his body suddenly sensed the danger of approaching, forcing him to retreat to ensure that his life would not be threatened.

Excitement, pain, expectation, confusion, happiness, sadness, countless intertwined and conflicting emotions suddenly appeared in Wright's mind.

If he hadn't "survived" in this mentally torturing world for more than a month, he had seen many strange things that he had never seen before, which were enough to break his spirit. In addition, he himself had the ability to not be easily affected by the spirit. In terms of the characteristics of the influence, just observing these lights is enough to cause him to immediately schizophrenia and shoot himself with a pistol on the spot.

A few seconds later, Wright, who had calmed down, wiped away the crystal tears that had flowed down from the corner of his eyes. He raised his head again and looked at the "young wolf" from the bottom up, contrary to common sense.

I saw black hair scattered all over the place where the "young wolf" was standing just now.

In addition, a lot of bright red and pitch-black viscous liquid was also splashed among the grass and weeds, giving it a unique hue that only appears in the orange-red sunset.

Even under the night sky filled with stars and crimson moon, the scarlet color can be clearly seen.

His eyes suddenly moved up, and Wright finally saw someone.

Real, with all human characteristics, without any extraordinary things, or parts that belong to monsters like unintentional people.

That was a teenager. This was Wright's first impression.

But Ivan, the half-lost person Feng lying behind him, and the vampire boy he met on the "Eternal Motion" train, [thief] Miyou have completely different temperaments.

His boyish and immature face was covered with spots that were corroded by the burning liquid. There were brown, red, and even yellow spots with transparent liquid seeping out.

At first glance, Ivan's face showed a calmness and sophistication that did not belong to his age. If he had not known in advance that his occupation was [Sacrifice], I am afraid that Wright would have compared him with him in Chekavsk. Contacted [Shadowman] Qiao Yin who he met and fought with.

After all, the lives of the Lost are long, and the same is often true for those with powers.

Therefore, there are "people" among them who have never been able to grow with age, and there are also despicable people who deliberately suppress their age and face the enemy like a child, making them relax their vigilance, feel pity, and then launch a surprise attack.

But from Ivan's human eyes, Wright could vaguely read that he was not a cunning, despicable, or someone who focused on deception.

Instead, he revealed an expression similar to the one exuded by Brett's green eyes, namely responsibility, persistence, bravery, and perseverance.

In addition, Ivan is wearing a brand-new uniform with a gray and black background that seems to be made of polyester and other chemical materials, and near his left chest, he is wearing a Socra army badge composed of a "machine gun" pattern , and a wolf head pattern, which in Wright's mind seemed to be the badge of the "Lone Wolf Society".

Sure enough, it was generally similar to what I saw during the Battle of Kofu. Apart from not having as many wounds as I imagined, there were just a few minor differences.

Wright thought, his vision not leaving Ivan's body at all.

"Mr. Echoer, thank you for saving me." After looking at each other, Ivan was the first to speak:

"Now, I finally don't have to endure the pain of turning into a beast. You may never realize how... tortured a human soul becomes when it enters the body of a beast."

As he spoke, Ivan showed a miserable smile, looked up at the vast universe, and sighed.

"I suggest leaving here first." Wright looked around and made a judgment:

"Now the 'General Launch' of the 'Silence's Advent' campaign has begun. Even if the battle here comes to an end now, there will soon be reinforcements from either our people or the enemies of the Church of the Lost. No matter which side it is. , we will all be in more danger, why don't I take Feng and you out of the battlefield first and make other plans."

"I think we don't need to discuss this topic for the time being, Mr. Echoer." Ivan waved his hand and said:

"When I was in the underground experimental site, I used magic power to observe the area above, which is the camp occupied by the giant 'Giant Church'. I smelled the breath of at least two to three hundred lost people before, but in the morning After a wave of attacks containing a strong flame aura, I estimate that there may only be twenty or thirty people left."

"If you include the Lost Ones who died with the dozen Imperial Legion soldiers who saved me just now, I think there are only single digits of enemies left here. As for the additional members, the Lost Ones of the 'Giant Church' They are all in the mobile camp. If they wanted to increase their numbers, they would have arrived here long ago. In other words, it is probably the attack caused by your flame breath, or artillery shells, that made them strategically abandon this place." Ivan said. Come up with your own analysis.

"What about 'Ning Wish'? It's the lost giant." Wright pointed at the cyan body of "Giant Ning Wish" lying on his back not far away, and said worriedly:

"I'm afraid that he will get up at any time and attack us again. He is a Cardinal, the Lost One of Order 4. I only have Order 6, and the most you can do is Order 5, right?"

"Indeed." Ivan nodded, quickly approached Wright, looked up and said:

"John, that crazy [slayer] 'scientist', poured a lot of medicine into my body in the name of curing me, as well as several unknown coats of arms, turning me into a real wolf. . Even so... I am still suffering at level 5, and have not reached level 4 hope. I have not really experienced the moment of death, nor have I seen God, or listened to his guidance, so I really want to But that giant monster. But if I leave here, I want to take a detour from some old roads and go south into the ancient city of 'Silence City' where His Royal Highness Crown Prince Ivant lives. My eldest brother is there."

"I don't want to have any more contact with the empire, but I can't escape here. I just want to enter the core area of ​​​​the highlands now and see the god 'Daughter of Tool Yuan' that all forces are thinking about. If she knows the so-called god As for the apostle, I must ask Him a few questions after seeing Him." Wright said with a hint of resentment, clenching his fist in his left hand.

"No, I don't want to fulfill my promise, Mr. Echoer." Ivan waved his hand quickly and said:

"I will definitely keep the promise I made in the 'Grey Dream'. My eldest brother and I have been dependent on each other since we were young. I will definitely be able to convince him to help you, the [Order], to become a king. We are very powerful, and we also want to Explore the existence of the 'Daughter of the Machinery' to stop the unrealistic 'Blood Night Ritual' that annihilates humanity. We will definitely help you, Mr. 'Echoer'."

Hearing Ivan's pleading, pleading, and even panicked words, Wright felt a little shaken in his heart.

It seems that it would be better to go south first and find the "Lone Wolf Society", which is said to have been officially incorporated by the empire.

If we can get in touch with His Highness Ivant, the current actual leader of the empire, even if the tracker in his body cannot be removed, as long as the body is not damaged, even if they know that I am with the crown prince, they will not dare to have direct contact with him. action.

As for assassinating himself, the Sugra Legion and the escort were the last to enter the highlands, so they may not have time to deploy.

Thinking of this, Wright nodded involuntarily.

Just as he reached out to hold Ivan's arm and was about to explain something more, he suddenly heard a whistling wind.

Immediately afterwards, many bright spaces around him that were originally due to the blazing flames suddenly turned into something close to pure black.

"Black wind? Black sandstorm?" Ivan guessed, quickly surging the magic power belonging to the vegetation in his body.

But then, a ring of air mixed with the smell of putrid and earthy air passed right in front of Wright. Wright vaguely saw a white arm in the darkness, holding a huge drill bit, attacking towards his heart. Come!
