"It was really a nightmare, but fortunately it was just a nightmare. Because since it was a dream, after all... There was a time to wake up."
Many years later, in the face of close relatives who can make themselves feel at ease and trust, TIA can finally look back on the past with such a third-party mentality. But obviously, she couldn't be so calm when she was going through all that.
TIA, who had just escaped from her cell and was holding a magic wand that didn't belong to her, had only countless worries and confusion in her heart.
What should I do next? Have the "jailers" found out about the situation here? Where am I going? What is the old man, the seemingly unfathomable old man doing now? And... Can the boy in front be trusted?
The questions in her head won't stop TIA from running, because she subconsciously knows that no matter what the answer to these questions is, she won't have any other choice.
"This way."
While running, TIA suddenly heard the boy's voice from the side of the fork she had just passed. She found that she almost ran in the wrong direction and lost it because of the darkness. However, fortunately, although the other party ran fast in front, he didn't seem to ignore himself behind.
"... oh."
She paused only slightly under her feet, and soon turned around and continued to catch up.
Running for a moment doesn't take much time, but it will be a little hard to run because there is no lighting. The boy in front obviously had the ability to move freely in the dark, but TIA didn't have that ability. If the aisle in the dungeon was not quite straight and straight, it would be a bit troublesome for her.
However, it is obviously not so easy to escape from this dungeon.
"Boom!"
It was so cold that a dull sound sounded from the darkness ahead. Immediately after TIA, she heard another wind whistling by her ears. It seemed that something suddenly flew past her.
Then a man's voice came from the front.
"Please... Don't move forward... The Dean... Will be angry."
It was a voice that made TIA feel very incomprehensible, because at that moment, she felt a very familiar emotion called "cowardice" in each other's words and often appeared in herself in the past.
But the next moment, the scene in front of her completely violated her cognition.
With a slight "buzzing" sound, a touch of brilliance tore open the ubiquitous darkness and lit up the corridor at once. So TIA found that the boy who should have been running in front was gone and replaced by two figures, one tall and one short.
The taller one is an adult. The wand in his hand shows that he is also a wizard, and the light mass emitting light on each other's head seems to be released by him;
The short man next to him was obviously just a teenager. He looked no older than TIA. The sentence just now was more a plea than a warning. It probably came from him.
At this moment, what TIA saw on the young man's face was only thick fear and resistance, as if she were saying that he didn't want to be here at all. But it happened that a strange black smoke was swirling around him, waving like a whip, as if it would bite someone at any time.
TIA already knew where the boy who had saved herself was now - just the news - the other party was obviously attacked by the young man in front of her, and then was shot away in an instant.
"Are you... Okay?"
TIA did not dare to look back, so she could only ask this carefully and as quietly as possible.
There was no answer, but the figure who had just met and was not familiar passed by her again, and then stood calmly in front.
"Are you... Are you... Okay?"
When this sentence sounded, TIA felt the sense of disobedience more clearly, because it seemed more like a greeting that should be said by her, but it was opened by the strange teenager who clearly should be the "murderer".
The shitabe boy who stood in front of TIA again seemed to be a little strange about the words of the human teenager in front of him. He stared at each other and slightly tilted his head.
And then
"Bang!"
"Bang Bang..."
TYA, who was standing in the rear, only saw him raise his hand. The next second, the whole arm turned into a rapidly waving gray shadow, which suddenly shrouded the area where the two people in front were located.
A series of crazy strokes, like a snake dancing wildly there. In an instant, the ground was broken and the gravel splashed, and the iron fences on both sides were cursed, which began to twist a little. It can be seen that the strength contained therein is really extraordinary.
Now TIA understood why the boy said he wanted to find a "better way" to destroy the prison door. Obviously, such an extremely violent method is the plan he thought of at the first time, but it's too much.
However, he still used it at the moment.
After more than ten seconds of continuous whipping, the boy in front finally stopped. At this time, TIA saw that his right arm had actually become a long snake tail.
Of course, it doesn't matter what the boy turned his hand into. What matters is that the tall and short figures standing in front have disappeared at some time.
"Where have they gone?" TIA asked subconsciously, glancing back and forth fearfully at the darkness around her, fearing that the enemy would jump out of any corner at any time.
"Ahead." the boy answered her question this time, "the wizard hid far away with a magic spell, but another strange human boy didn't retreat too far."
As if to prove his words, a voice suddenly came from the distance ahead.
"What are you doing? Kill the monster for the Dean!"
The voice dropped a little. Just now, the boy covered with black smoke appeared again step by step from the darkness ahead. He was a little afraid, but he seemed to come here very resolutely.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I'm going to kill you for the dean and the future. Please... Don't hate me..."
"Boom!"
Intermittently, with some neurotic words, the boy stopped suddenly. Suddenly, the whole man turned into a surging black fog with Mars and smashed at the shitabe boy like a meteor.
