Chapter 86: The Queen’s Inheritance (XXV)

We have to help her!

The idea just flashed in Qi Leren’s mind when the space in front of Aya turned into a swamp… In the black mud, a woman wearing a palace dress with a full face of blood and tears floated and “stared” at her faintly.

Ashley turned his face away indifferently, and seemed to think that the temporary alliance would deal with this unarmed girl, so he put his attention back on Qi Leren.

A woman without legs flashed on the swamp, and suddenly appeared behind Aya. She didn’t even use any weapons, but turned Aya over on the earth with a wave of her hand. Aya let out a cry of pain, holding her abdomen that was hit. The internal organs inside seemed to be crushed, so that she broke into a cold sweat from the pain and couldn’t say a word.

The woman grinned—showing shark-like sharp teeth. She flashed silently in front of Aya, and the hand with sharp nails thrust at Aya’s heart!

Aya closed her eyes in despair, afraid to think about the pain that was about to pierce her heart, but the pain didn’t come on her. She built up the courage to open her eyes, and the woman’s hand was frozen in the air. Over her shoulder, the distant holy angel held out his hand toward her, and the force of time condensed in his hand and blocked the woman’s offensive.

The little Queen, who was unable to restrain her, lowered her eyes. After all, she didn’t help. Wait, it was not the time to lend her hand.

“You still want to protect an irrelevant person. Sir, you are really a kind person,” Ashley, wearing a mask, murmured, as if recalling the rainy night he had met “Red” who was standing in front of him.

However, with the memory smeared with the color of betrayal, he could no longer laugh, and hatred turned into killing intent. Or perhaps, it was the force of slaughter that made him lose himself. The more Ashley looked at Qi Leren the more gloomy his eyes became, as if a storm was brewing in his red eyes.

As Ashley’s mind turned, the world around Qi Leren seemed to sink into the deep sea, and he was surprised to find that the surrounding scenery began to change—the blood and bodies on the ground began to sink, the fog condensed like liquid, and Ashley seemed to stand in an abyss, covering Qi Leren with his world!

Heavy, stressful, suffocating… Qi Leren’s body weighed more than 1,000 pounds. He had once experienced this feeling—in the Dream of the Holy Nun task, the strength of the field Su He had once demonstrated had easily suppressed the Witch of Nightmares to the ground so she couldn’t move.

No, it was not exactly the same. It seemed that this power is not so unstoppable.

Qi Leren, whose use of the Prophet’s Heart hadn’t timed out, was not without resistance under this power. He could still move, but he was unable to control being pulled into another world.

“It seems that you haven’t mastered a half-field yet.” Ashley’s voice resonated between heaven and earth, as if light lit up the world. “Welcome to the ‘Bloody Wilderness’. What you see is only a small projection of this field, but it’s enough to deal with you who doesn’t even have a half-field.”

The field of the Devil of Slaughter? Qi Leren was shocked to see the hell on earth in front of him. Even if the Lord of Slaughter couldn’t mobilize his own field while sealed, it was even more impossible to come directly into the Dragon Ant Queen’s field, but this projection was shocking enough.

More accurately, it was frightening.

Under the bloody sky, the world as far as he could see was shrouded in murder. Whether it was the walking dead among the ruined buildings, or a hungry beast wandering in the streets, every creature’s eyes were filled with crazed bloodthirst. Meaningless slaughter and death spread in the ‘Bloody Wilderness’ city-state, just like the bloody rain falling from the sky, making people lose their rationality.

Ashley and Qi Leren stood opposite each other and stopped in the red sky. The bloody wind blew into his nose, which made Qi Leren feel the original force permeating the projection of this field.

“How are you going to run, senior?” Ashley asked softly, tenderly and cruelly watching a fight between trapped animals.

As time went by, Qi Leren would be helpless without this force that didn’t belong to him. He used this force that belonged to the Prophet, turning his mind into countless eagles hovering in the air, overlooking the land.

For an instant, he felt as if he were in harmony with the world.

He closed his eyes, and the wings behind him gradually spread. Together with the evening sunset behind him, the white wild flowers bloomed from the horizon and swept toward the Bloody Wilderness city-state. Where the white waves passed, blood became flowers, slaughter became holiness, scarlet became pure white…

Countless dead people trapped in this bloody place rushed out of the city and rushed towards him. Looking down from the sky, the world beneath his feet seemed to be two opposing oil paintings: one was the madness of a mountain of corpses and the other was the tranquility of the twilit wilderness. This extreme beauty and ugliness, good and evil, light and darkness, blood and peace bloomed under the same sky.

“From this perspective, the world is unusual.” A voice rang out in Qi Leren’s mind.

“Prophet!” Being nervous and anxious, Qi Leren seemed to have found a backbone and calmed down at once.

The Prophet gave a chuckle: “There’s only one minute left. After one minute, you’ll go down and have a hand-to-hand fight with those monsters. Are you ready?”

Qi Leren looked at the irrational humans and monsters below, and every creature showed madness and malice as if it was seeping from their souls. Even though they were far away from him now and it was impossible to reach him suspended in the air, the horrible killing intent from them was unsettling.

“What am I going to do?” Qi Leren turned to the Prophet for help. He really didn’t know what to do, and his understanding of the forces was too ordinary and superficial, so that now, he suddenly found that the competition of forces had reached a level that he couldn’t understand. The battle he understood was still a battle between people, while the power in half-field and even field level was not something he could imagine at all.

It was like two bugs lying on the leaves in the lake, fighting endlessly for a small place to stay, looking at a huge ship coming from ahead despairingly…

“Ask yourself this, what is your understanding of the world? What is the power you feel? When you stand in front of a desperate situation, do you want to lower your head, or do you want to move forward toward the abyss? Do you have the courage to break away from the shackles of your mind and jump out of the category of humans?” the Prophet said speciously.

“I don’t know. What the hell is this…” Qi Leren said nervously, bewildered by this dangerous situation.

The light laughter of the Prophet came again with a pleasant feeling: “Have you witnessed your force?”

Qi Leren remained silent. In the terrible frozen underground, he had witnessed a wonderful force and pulled it back to reality from the abyss of death. But now, when he went back to think about it, he couldn’t remember it anymore. What was that mysterious force…

Just as Qi Leren and the Prophet were talking in distant time and space, Ashley was condensing the force of slaughter, feeling the crazy bloodlust sweeping through his whole body. The parasitic seed of slaughter on him was about to devour him, and he drove the projection of this already crazy field to become more and more mad.

In his eyes, the one in the sky was far away and had his eyes downcast, as if he was lost in eternal meditation. It was so similar to the brilliant Red in his memory, and it was so different.

Countless memories flashed through his mind, both as mourning and farewell.

“Time is up.” The voice of the Prophet sounded again, with a hint of melancholy and faint expectation. “Wake up, Qi Leren. You’re not destined to be like other people… What you want to see is a different world from before, and what you have to take on is a heavy and unbearable responsibility.”

“But I…” Qi Leren desperately wanted to ask questions. He had too many questions to ask. What was a half-field? How could he break through to the half-field? How could he get rid of this present desperate situation?

But there was no time to hear the answer.

The clock behind him moved one second after another, time passed, and finally, the force that did not belong to him left him.

Wings peeled off from his back, strength was frantically drawn from his body, the holy angel of Dusk fell in the sunset, the reflected Garden of Eden left him. The beautiful phantom fell apart. Like an angel who was expelled from heaven, he fell to the ferocious hell after being subjected to the cruelest punishment.

Fortunately, the last remaining power did not make him fall to the ground, but gently placed him on the earth—a bloody wasteland.

In front of him was a crimson sky, with scarlet rain. The earth beneath was soaked with blood, but the gentle sunset behind him had quietly passed away, together with the distant kingdom of heaven.

What Qi Leren, who has lost his force, could see was the walking dead running towards him from ahead. The embodiment of the Devil of Slaughter overlooked him from the sky, and indifferently watched the upcoming massacre. He knew that he would not be able to fight against the projection of this field—unless he had a half-field of his own.

The man Ashley admired finally took off his disguise.

Weakly, he stood in the bloody wilderness, an enemy of the world.
