Chapter 996 Walking with Pain

…

a month of Sundays.

But full of joy.

She seemed to have returned to the battlefield four hundred years ago, fighting a bloody battle with the enemy. Only this time, she didn't have to worry about the pain of failure, she didn't have to watch her friends die in her arms, and she didn't have to be overwhelmed by the burden of missions.

The best thing is that both the devil and herself can feel the pain of the sharp blade during the fight.

And with pain, there is reality.

"Female...I have to say you did a good job," Cabradabi threw a bloody arm to the ground. "Although it is still not out of the category of reptiles, it is already much better than most of your kind." . I really didn’t pick the wrong person, your performance pleased me!”

"Really?" Zoe responded vaguely, then spit out a piece of minced meat in her mouth, "It's a pity that your meat is too unpalatable."

This is the fifth day since the battle started...or is it the seventh day? She did not have the ability to estimate time without the help of the sun, moon, and stars. She could only estimate the date roughly based on her body's natural reactions. The time here should be frozen in a cycle. For example, the feeling of thirst and hunger will suddenly disappear when it gradually becomes obvious, and return to the original state. If you think of it as one day, it is reasonable. Otherwise, let alone several years, it will be impossible to move in just a few days.

There was a heartbreaking pain in the severed arm - obviously this was not a fair fight. The opponent could use magic power to condense a long sword, but all she could rely on were her fists, two feet, and a set of teeth.

But Zoe couldn't care less about fairness.

Because winning or losing is not the point at all.

What is pursued on the battlefield is to kill the enemy and protect oneself, but that is not the case here. The severed limbs will be reunited in the darkness, and no matter how injured they are, they will not lose consciousness. Without death, the pain will become eternal.

And inflicting pain does not have to be done with a sword.

She noticed that this was the first time since the war started that the other party actively slowed down and spoke.

"But your persistence is meaningless." The high-level devil held down the injured shoulder, and the bloody wound quickly recovered. "An attack like this is not even superficial. If you try to defeat me with your teeth, I'm afraid Be disappointed - I'm going to break your teeth bit by bit and stuff them into your belly, so get ready!"

"But you still feel pain, don't you?" Zoe took a breath and watched her arm gradually recover, "By the way, I want to ask one more question, is that kind of pain particularly familiar?"

"Female, what do you mean?"

No, you have to be patient and don’t let it see your intoxication. That will reduce the fun——

Even though she was thinking this, she still couldn't help but chuckle, "When you were half-dead, you should have been able to feel it every day..." She pointed to the position of the shoulder blade, "pierce it from here and cut it off completely. A piece of meat. Judging from the frequency of your body shaking at that time, it shouldn't be too uncomfortable. Ah, I seem to have forgotten to introduce you. The person who took good care of you along the way is me."

"Insect——!" Kabradabi suddenly became furious, roared and slashed at you with his sword, "I will crush you!"

…

Day 16, or more.

The dark ground was already covered with blood, most of it was reddish brown, and a small half was blue.

In addition, you can see scattered severed limbs, internal organs...and of course teeth. Although the missing parts will be replaced soon, the things that are separated from the body will not disappear. When fighting in such an environment, you will slip if you are not careful. But because of this, Zoe got two barely usable weapons-a femur removed from her own thigh, and half of the devil's spine.

The former is equivalent to a short hammer, and the latter can be used as a stabbing sword. As long as it does not collide with the magic weapon head-on, it is quite easy to wield the two.

Four hundred years are enough time for them to become experts proficient in various weapons.

And her favorite part to attack is still the opponent's shoulder.

Pain sometimes has nothing to do with the size of the wound.

"If you are tired, you might as well take a rest now," Zoe hung her spine on her waist and moved her numb wrists. "After all, you have to torture me for a long time, so you can enjoy it more slowly."

"..." The devil didn't respond for the first time. Its chest rose and fell, its scarlet eyes stared at the extraordinary witch, and the initial contempt was gone from its human-like and inhuman face.

The strength of the two has not reversed. The high-level devil's multiple abilities ensure its superior position in the battle. Zoe often needs to pay several times the price to severely damage the opponent. Once a mistake is made, it will last for a long time. He suffered for a period of time, having his fingers cut off one by one and his stomach disemboweled. However, even so, the atmosphere gradually became different.

Zoe didn't care at all about the other party's silence, "I said... is this the space you created?"

Probably because he really needed to rest for a while, Kabradabi slowly spoke, "This is the stream of consciousness, the combination of magic and soul, and no one needs to create it. I'm afraid it will be difficult for reptiles like you to Understand. There is only one person in a million who has the opportunity to enter the stream of consciousness——"

"I have seen bigger ones, as complete as a world," she interrupted. "There are people with trees, sky and earth, unlike here, there is nothing."

"Don't be ridiculous, female!" the devil growled, "You have no idea how much magic it takes to build an entity in the stream of consciousness, let alone a complete world! The only one who can do this is the source of magic! "

"It's the source of magic again... It's obviously the same as the realm of gods. It's just an illusory concept. I don't even know where it is, but it sounds like you've actually seen it." Zoe took off the spine and held it in her hand again.

"This is all information engraved in the inheritance, and only you can know nothing about it!"

"Then you can explain it in more detail and provide evidence to convince me."

"Female, do you think I'm a fool?" Kabradabi was furious, "How could I, Lord Kabradabi, use such inferior cliché skills -"

Before he finished speaking, a "throwing spear" pierced its head.

The dazzling white spear body was the spine that Zoe was holding before.

"If you don't want to say it, then the rest time is over. Whenever you want to say it, it's never too late to rest." She raised her leg bones and rushed towards the swaying opponent.

…

The first...tens of days.

"Why," Kabradabi has completely lost his initial momentum. He blocked the magic sword in front of his chest and stared at Zoe as if looking at a monster, "Aren't you afraid of pain!"

"If the war four hundred years ago made me accustomed to this feeling, and the sinking four hundred years later made me forget it - if something that is always with you is lost and found, will you be afraid of it?" Zoe raised the corners of her mouth. At this moment, she no longer needed to hide herself, "In fact, I have to thank you. The experience that His Majesty Roland cannot give me can be compensated by you."

"You... crazy person!"

"This is but a brief moment compared to hundreds of years - now it's your turn to please me."

When Zoe inserted her five fingers into the devil's chest again, the scene in front of her suddenly changed. Flesh, internal organs and corpses all turned into nothingness, and a strong sense of dizziness enveloped her.

When she opened her eyes again, the dome of the Third Border City's main hall reappeared in front of her eyes.
