In the dark corridor, the two yellow lights were very dim. Edward held onto the wall and walked forward with difficulty.
If I go any further, I'll die.
He knew this very well, but he did not stop.
For some reason, images appeared in his mind.
White seagulls, fishing boats in the harbor, and cats stealing fish.
Edward was born in a small fishing village. For as long as he could remember, he lived on a fishing boat. He would only go to land when he needed to buy water and food. Like all children born on fishing boats, he yearned for land and dreamed of buying a house on land.
Like most people on the water, he could not leave the sea or the fishing boat.
Until he was 13 years old, they encountered a pirate ship. This changed Edward's life.
That day, he lost his family and everything. He lived under the deck as a laborer for three years. However, he made a friend who had the same experience as him and the same dream.
In the most difficult days, the two encouraged each other and promised to escape together and obtain freedom.
During a storm, they tried to escape, but they were discovered by the pirate captain. The two were caught right in front of Edward. His friend was thrown into the turbulent sea. In his despair, a black magic appeared on Edward's body.
Later on, he realized that he might be a gifted individual with a special power.
He survived alone. After drifting on the sea for two months, he reached land.
However, after escaping the sea, he realized that land was not heaven. On the pirate ship, he was immediately thrown into jail by the local city guards. He tried his best to prove his innocence, but in the end, he was sentenced to death.
They hated pirates. Even if they killed the wrong person, they would not let him go.
Edward could only escape and use his ability. However, his face was plastered all over the country.
He did not do anything bad, but he became a ferocious pirate fugitive. He lived in fear every day. No one was willing to help him. He could not work like a normal person.
He could only use his ability to steal for a living.
However, every time he used his ability, his crime would be magnified. He was given the title of a terrifying monster thief.
There were even many powerful people who came to capture him, but with his ability, very few people could catch him.
While he was on the run, he gradually began to miss his life on the fishing boat and the days he spent with his family. Although it was boring, it was peaceful.
But that was already too late. He could not return to the past.
Just as he was getting numb, Ray Phoenix appeared. She was the only one who was willing to listen to Edward. She was also the only one who believed him.
"Do you really believe what I said?"
"Yes."
Layle, who was wearing a long dress and holding an umbrella, said with a smile. Standing behind her was an old man with a serious expression. Edward, who had slipped away from the crowd, knew that the two people in front of him were very powerful.
"Don't you doubt me? What if I'm lying? "
Adel asked in surprise.
Leila shook her head and said, "No, because there are four words written on your face."
"Please save me."
Edward's eyes widened as he stood rooted to the ground.
"How about it? Do you want to join me, or do you want to continue running?"
He looked at the hand that was reaching for him, and that moment felt like a dream.
The young mistress was his life's savior.
In the darkness, Edward's eyes suddenly became determined. He looked forward fiercely. I'll go through fire and water for her!
Bang!
He pushed open the door. The huge room was very bright, and the light of magic shone on every corner of the room. The light all came from the hourglass-like device in the room. In the hourglass, there was a huge glowing crystal. This was the core of the city's enchantment, a super crystal that contained a huge amount of magic.
The control panel was a lever that was under the core.
But now, it was blocked by a monster.
The monster's skin was like steel and had a metallic luster. Although it still had the body of a human, there was a terrifying cross-shaped wound on its face. One could vaguely see terrifying teeth inside.
The terrifying dark magic was emitted from its body. Every cell in Edward's body was trembling. His instincts told him that this monster was very dangerous.
But it did not matter. The situation was in Edward's favor. He only needed to destroy the crystal or pull the switch. And the other party had to protect those things while fighting with him.
There was hope! There was hope!
Edward gritted his teeth.
"It's here! My new toy! Kill it! "
The blonde girl suddenly shouted. Suddenly, the monster opened its eyes. Its eyes shone with a terrifying red light. Suddenly, it opened its mouth and roared at Edward.
"Oh!"
A terrifying gust of wind blew out of its mouth, forming a terrifying air current that could easily blow people away.
Edward's feet were stuck to the ground. He leaned forward, resisting the force.
Suddenly, the monster rushed forward. It raised its arm and punched with its right fist.
Now was the time!
There was no monster's blood in the room. Edward could hide in the shadows. His body quickly turned black, and in an instant, he merged with the ground and swam under the monster's feet.
However, the monster immediately turned around. It knelt on one knee and slammed its fists on the ground. With a boom, the terrifying force caused the floor to collapse.
Bang!
"Ah!"
Edward, who was hiding in the floor, was shaken out by the opponent's magic. As the floor collapsed, the monster fell first.
Watching his target disappear bit by bit, Edward suddenly stretched out his right hand. A black thread shot out and stuck to the wall.
"Very good!"
Edward seized the opportunity. The thread tightened and pulled him up quickly.
However, at this moment, the falling monster suddenly stretched out its hand and grabbed the wall. Then, it lifted its head and stepped on the wall. In an instant, it was in front of Edward.
"How is this possible!"
Edward was shocked. The monster put its palms together and smashed them down on Edward like a hammer.
However!
Just as Edward was hit, his upper body turned into a dark shadow and turned into black smoke. His lower body was still moving. Suddenly, he turned around and kicked the monster in the face. Then, he jumped away with all his might.
When the monster reacted, it realized that there was a black rope on its face.
It seemed to show a slightly surprised expression. When it looked down, it found that the black rope was actually spreading out and connecting to the countless rubble below. It turned out that when he entered the floor, he had already merged with the shadows.
At this moment, the scattered black smoke gathered on Edward's lower body and gradually changed back to his original appearance.
"Gather!"
He shouted. Suddenly, the countless black threads tightened rapidly. The rubble flew toward the monster's face like cannonballs.
