Zongman: Pan-dimensional sign-in system

Page 45

"Thank you, Shangguan Wen. Before I met you, I never thought there would be anyone willing to approach me, understand me, let alone accept a monster like me."

"You're not a monster, Aurora."

Shangguan Wen interrupted her, his eyes filled with sincerity. "You are a warrior who has endured countless hardships and yet has remained strong and alive. You are Aurora, possessing unique strength and a beautiful soul. In this world, there will always be someone who can see your light and is willing to stand shoulder to shoulder with you."

Aurora stopped and looked at Shangguan Wen in surprise and dullness. She had never thought that a thousand years later, someone would actually say such words to her.

She hadn't heard it for a long, long time. For thousands of years, all she had heard was the witch of disaster, Aurora, and the demon Diabolos.

Aurora calmed down and continued:

"What happened next was a fairy tale known to the world. The demon Diabolos was defeated by three heroes, and my body was cut into many pieces, forming the many sanctuaries of today. And what is sealed here is my left hand. Is there anything else you don't understand?"

Shangguan Wen clearly understood this trope. It was a familiar one, a satire from another world, wasn't it? He'd drive you crazy, then calmly watch you go crazy, then, from a moral high ground, claim you were emotionally unstable and frightened him!

"I understand, I understand. In short, this is all the fault of the Diabolos Cult. They weren't even called the Diabolos Cult before. Changing the name now just lets you continue to take the blame, while they stand on the moral high ground, taking advantage of the situation, and continue to curse the victims, saying that the victims are guilty."

Aurora nodded gloomily and painfully. That was it.

"So how can we save you, Aurora?"

Aurora showed a surprised expression and said:

"Ah, you have to save me, I am the demon Diabolos, the witch of disaster Aurora"

Shangguan Wen touched Aurora's head and said:

"I said before, you have me here with you. You are not a monster or a demon, you are just a girl waiting for rescue."

Shangguan Wen's gentle words were like a ray of warm sunshine, piercing through the haze that had long lingered in Aurora's heart. A flicker of hesitation flashed in her eyes, a light of understanding and acceptance that she hadn't felt in a long time.

"But... I've become accustomed to being misunderstood, accustomed to carrying this heavy accusation. My power, my existence, seems destined to keep me in darkness, to be feared by the world."

Aurora's voice was low and trembling, revealing her inner struggle and helplessness.

At the same time, the scene in the sanctuary changed.

A little girl who looked like Aurora was imprisoned in an artificial garden, curled up and crying on the ground.

"this is..."

Aurora said with disgust:

"That was me, the weak me who was used as an experimental subject. I could only cry and whine, and I couldn't change anything."

As she spoke, Aurora came to the front of her own Lolita period, and the two of them started fighting directly, not caring at all that it was her former self.

Shangguan Wen frowned but understood. No matter who they were, they would want to go back in time and give themselves a good beating for doing something stupid...

"Stop it, Aurora, it's you after all"

"What does it matter? I won't die anyway."

Shangguan Wen rolled his eyes at Aurora. She really knew how to play.

Click, the next second!

The memory scene changed again and became a battlefield.

Aurora still appeared on the battlefield, but the difference was that she had changed from a little loli to an otome.

Seeing this, Aurora walked over with disgust and borrowed Shangguan Wen's sword.

"You're still a crybaby, I'll help you out right away."

When Aurora walked past a group of corpses, the fingers of these corpses on the battlefield suddenly moved.

"Oh, a dead body"

When Aurora was about to kill her maiden, the resurrected corpse wielded the weapon and slashed at Aurora from behind.

Before he could even make a move, he was eliminated by Shangguan Wen at a much faster speed.

"Is this considered an obstruction from the Holy Land?"

Aurora nodded and said:

"That's right. To the Sanctuary, we are like viruses invading the computer, and these zombies are the anti-virus software. The closer we get to the core, the more magic power will be absorbed, and the more dormant mechanisms will be awakened."

"Tsk tsk, aren't you afraid of starving yourself to death? Also, could you please tell me about triggering the defense mechanism as soon as possible?"

As he spoke, Shangguan Wen easily used the sword in his hand to cut the zombies that appeared in half or beheaded them.

This made Aurora who was standing next to him stunned. Nowadays, most magic swordsmen become weaklings once they lose their magic power or their magic power is suppressed. Those who can fight 1 alone are masters among masters. How could they be like Shangguan Wen, who can kill everyone in the blink of an eye.

"Don't look at me like that. I also try to seal my magic power to fight, and use my swordsmanship and physical skills to the limit. Then I keep putting pressure on my body to the limit, continue to squeeze out the potential, and repeat this training over and over again."

Aurora gave Shangguan Wen a thumbs up. She had thought that he was a playboy with some strength, but she didn't expect that he was such a ruthless person who was so cruel to herself in order to strengthen himself.

"There's no other way. To open a Crystal Palace, besides looks and money, strength is the most important part. Otherwise, what if someone overpowers you?"

Chapter 92 Olivia Clone

"Wen, if you kill my otome self, these zombies will disappear."

Shangguan Wen stopped Aurora's actions

"No need, you've already paid enough. I'm not such a loser that I can rely on this method to pass the level."

Aurora said in panic:

"Wen, there are hundreds of thousands of corpses here, and there is no shortage of experts. Even if they have turned into zombies, there are still hundreds of thousands of them."

"Hundreds of thousands of small fish, what's there to fear?"

A second slime sword appeared in Shangguan Wen's hand. While Aurora was stunned, he calmly swung it and slashed, plowing deep grooves on the ground of the memory world. Hundreds of thousands of zombies could not resist Shangguan Wen's move at all.

Aurora looked at this scene with extremely complicated eyes. If Shangguan Wen had appeared earlier, she would not have to endure so much pain and bear false accusations.

Aurora's mood felt like a roller coaster, plummeting from peak panic to deep emotion. She gazed at Shangguan Wen's calm and composed figure, and an indescribable emotion surged within her. It wasn't just a sense of relief from the immediate crisis, but also a deep sense of relief and gratitude. She knew that the man before her had the power to rewrite her fate, and he chose to protect her in the most direct and powerful way possible, rather than requiring her to sacrifice herself in exchange for a clearing.

Although this is a scene from memory, it is a dazzling light to her who has been in deep darkness for a long time.

Thirty minutes later, Shangguan Wen changed his clothes and came to Aurora's side:

"Sorry for the wait, Aurora."

Aurora threw herself into Shangguan Wen's arms, hugged Shangguan Wen's neck and whispered:

"Idiot, why are you doing this?"

"No reason, just think of me as kind"

"Tsk, give me back my feeling"

Shangguan Wen looked around and asked doubtfully:

"Strange, haven't all the zombies been killed yet? Why aren't they standing up again? Why?"

Aurora sighed and pointed at herself as a maiden.

"Hey, I still have to give myself a knife, let me do it"

"No, I'll do it."

Shangguan Wen came to the maiden Aurora with a sword in hand, said sorry to her, and cut her off with the sword.

The memory scene changed again and arrived at the center of the sanctuary.

A bloodstained door, a huge chain blocking a sharp sword inlaid with various gems.

Aurora pointed at the sealed weapon and said:

"If the descendant of the hero pulls out this sword, it will release the core of the sanctuary hidden behind the door."

Shangguan Wen used the power of the core of domination, and the domination in the conceptual sense could be extracted, but Alpha, Olivia's direct blood relative, was here, so she was left to her own devices.

"Then we can only wait here. Descendants of the hero Olivia, Shadow Garden just happens to have a direct blood relative."

----split line----

On the other side, after reading the memory of the hero Olivia, Jack Nelson resisted. Even though he occupied the home position and had many magical clones of his own, he was still able to kill Delta's claws one by one.

Ross looked at Delta, who had no fighting grace and was completely like a beast. Beta complained to Alexia and Kreya beside him:

"Didn't we agree that everyone in Shadow Garden is an expert in elegant swordsmanship? Is this Delta, one of the eight Kage at the forefront?"

Alexia agrees:

"I've seen Shadow's swordsmanship, it's of the utmost beauty, but the Delta in front of me is completely like a wild wolf. Could it be because of the orcs?"

Beta pushed up his glasses and explained:

"Delta isn't good at swordsmanship, but is rather proficient in close combat, such as boxing and kicking. Furthermore, he enjoys the thrill of the hunt. When it comes to prey weaker than himself, he has no sense of beauty and simply abuses them to his heart's content."

Jack Nelson on the side was in a terrible state. He had just split into more than 100 of himself, but how could they be killed in less than a cup of tea?

Quack! I must be dreaming.

Alpha didn't give Jack Nelson time to be in a daze. He gathered the slime sword in his right hand, picked up the sword and walked towards him, explaining as he walked:

"Jack Nelson, you're a researcher, not a fighter. Even if you have over a hundred clones, if you're slow and unlucky in combat, you're nothing but a chicken to be ripped apart by Delta. Your life ends here!"

Jack Nelson stepped back with a look of fear. He didn't want to die yet. It was not until he backed up against the statue of Oliver that he remembered that he still had a trump card that he hadn't used.

He knocked violently on the statue of Oliver and said:

"Olivia, come out and kill the intruder!"

As the magic circle was activated, Olivia on the statue was freed from petrification, jumped down and looked at Alpha coldly.

Alpha stopped and looked at the clone ancestor who had no emotions but knew how to fight.

"My ancestor Olivia..."

"Alexia, Kreya, Ross, and Jutis, the four of you will fight her. This is a surprise that Shadow has left for you."

Ross, Alexia, Kreya, and, after being called out, Jutis, exchanged glances, their eyes filled with surprise and determination. They hadn't anticipated such a sudden turn of events, but as members of Shadow Garden, they never backed down from a challenge.

"It seems that our training has finally had a chance to be put into practice."

Rose was the first to speak, her tone tinged with excitement. She knew that this battle was not only a test of her own strength, but also a defense of the glory of [Shadow Garden].

Alexia gently stroked the hilt of the sword, her eyes flashing with determination:

"When facing my former heroes, I will give my all."

Her words were like a warm current, inspiring everyone around her.

Kreya smiled slightly and waved her hands gently. The sword in her hand seemed to have subtle energy fluctuations. "Let me see if my magic can break through this ancestor's defense."

Judith, the Sword Saint from another world, simply nodded, a faint murderous aura emanating from her body, ready to face this unknown battle. The four of them quickly dispersed, each seeking the best attacking position, while Olivia was like a cold sculpture, quietly awaiting their actions.

Her eyes were empty, yet they revealed a power that should not be underestimated. It was the purity and ruthlessness that came from countless battles.

"let's start!"

Alpha and the others took a few steps back to leave enough space for the four people. At the same time, he kept a close eye on the battle situation and was ready to provide support at any time.

Rose attacked first. Like a flash of lightning, she quickly approached Oliver, trying to break the opponent's defense with her fast and precise swordsmanship.

However, Olivia's reaction was beyond imagination. Almost at the same time as Ross's move, she dodged sideways and counterattacked with lightning speed, punching Ross's chest.

Upon seeing this, Alexia immediately performed her sword dance, which she was good at, with sword lights flying like a weave, trying to disrupt Olivia's attack rhythm.

Not to be outdone, Claire and Jutis tried to attack Olivia from multiple angles.

However, Olivia's fighting skills seemed to transcend the limitations of the times. Not only could she quickly deal with the joint attack of four people, but she could also display amazing strength and speed in her counterattacks. Each attack was aimed directly at the vital points, which was terrifying.

Seeing this scene, Jack Nelson's tense heart finally relaxed and he couldn't help but burst into laughter:

"It's useless. Although Olivia is not the original Olivia, the clone is as strong as the original Olivia. You are going to die."

Faced with the ridicule, the four girls of A000 Lexia were not angry. The other party was a clone of the hero. If they were not so easy to deal with, they would not be regarded as the gatekeeper of the final level.

After fighting for dozens of rounds, Kreya's eyes were as sharp as an eagle. She quickly shuttled across the battlefield, dodging Olivia's flying sword shadows while observing her every move.

Indeed, as she noticed, although Olivia's swordsmanship was sharp, it lacked the necessary agility and changes, as if every move was a pre-arranged program and could not be adjusted according to the ever-changing battle situation.

Plus she is a clone, so her weakness is

"Sisters, follow my lead!"

Kreya's voice pierced the din of battle, clear and resolute. Alexia and the other two immediately adjusted their formation, forming a delicate circle around Olivia. Each of their movements was in perfect sync, as if they were connected by an invisible bond.

"The Olivia in front of us is a clone of the hero Olivia. Many of her moves are stereotyped and don't offer much flexibility. She can only win by attacking from tricky positions."
