三人沿著原路步下山峰,再次踏上曾經走過的山路,四處景象卻不再如先前一般被凛洌白霜覆蓋,枯枝群變成大片針葉林,各自盛托一抹薄雪。235Please respect copyright.PENANAOqLIKJ9DO8

再度展現久違生機的大地,卻無意間招惹起滿遍執念的目光。緊湊腳步徑直從山腳大本營一路朝山上邁進,搜查之中他們發現的是一個金髮少年、那在狂信者的儀式之中逃之夭夭的「祭品」。235Please respect copyright.PENANAhGPKaoYcoB

「是誰?」山間裡蠢動的人影挑起阿爾法的注意,劍鋒剛好對準身子前方,六個銀白人影突如從四方冒出,重重包圍著三人。235Please respect copyright.PENANAbrekaxlEtr

「哼哼,小子,兩年的捉迷藏時間該結束了。」當中身穿豪華重鎧的騎士隊長緊盯著伊咘西萊惶恐至極的小臉龐,同時又拔出佩劍,示意麾下五名隊員揮刀進擊。235Please respect copyright.PENANAKFr1wqbsoz

阿爾法隨即架盾擋下連環迎來的兩把利劍,趁兩人跌倒地上之際又躍到後方為貝塔格檔正要朝她而來的攻勢。掩護下貝塔指間亮起幾片刺刃投向對方,軌跡準確地擦過阿爾法身邊,插向厚重的裝甲上。235Please respect copyright.PENANAZDJoy0VKni

然而,刀片僅僅刮花對方的白鎧便散落地上。正要冒出向以太求援的想法,卻見方才分別向她和阿爾法進攻的四名騎士紛紛往後退去,身姿很快便消失於密盛的針葉林之中。235Please respect copyright.PENANAVWqmXhMYdc

「伊咘西萊?」突然感覺身邊空空如也的貝塔四處張望,除了眼前正收起武器的阿爾法,再沒有看到第二個人影。235Please respect copyright.PENANAe7dtdPSKNq

「阿爾法,伊咘西萊不見了!」她如此喊著,阿爾法才赫然發覺一直瑟縮在貝塔身旁的伊咘西萊隨白鎧騎士同時失去影蹤。回想片刻之前一片混亂中,她根本沒有餘暇注意竄到身後的騎士隊長在另一名隊員輔助下一把掩住伊咘西萊的嘴巴,不讓他吭出半點聲音引起注意之下便默默逃離現場。235Please respect copyright.PENANAlz0Gp2UEoN

235Please respect copyright.PENANAPDNSCk99XX
「婭基昂絲精銳部隊的大本營,是嗎?」略帶迷惘的阿爾法亦再度回憶起登山路上伊咘西萊曾經提及的地名,思緒再度游走記憶裡曾經讓他們繞道而行的騎士團大本營,同時腳下亦冒起圓形法陣包圍在他身邊。235Please respect copyright.PENANAPu6vdTwtQ5

然而,光芒愈發耀眼之際,一把傲慢男聲突如從旁邊響起,聲線就像號令著週遭魔力那般,把阿爾法的法陣消散掉,阻止他繼續施法。他睜開眼一看,只見以太正在視線中央悠然踱步,一臉不屑地對他和貝塔說著:235Please respect copyright.PENANAapNKyXMf5Z

高傲地把話說完之後,以太便化作一縷輕風,赴往針葉林的彼方;在這片深綠和雪白的大地之中,又再度剩下漫無目的地前行的少男少女。235Please respect copyright.PENANAxTuVBVfzbw

「那個,阿爾法……」無言走下山坡,再度回到平原懷抱中。一路上貝塔似乎始覺阿爾法那不願跟她說話的臉色,便語帶緊張的張嘴打破沉默。「不用擔心,伊咘西萊一定不會有事的。」235Please respect copyright.PENANAlrPEDr7iJH
235Please respect copyright.PENANApKo87LyVgh
235Please respect copyright.PENANASkbiJJfqcK
阿爾法並沒有回應她,甚至沒有把她放進視線裡,只是停下了忐忑腳步,讓微風吹拂他的披風、斜陽在大地上留下他的影子。閉上兩眼,他再也感覺不到伊咘西萊活潑的氣息,對這小孩的下落亦是一無所知。235Please respect copyright.PENANA0fYuhzExd7
235Please respect copyright.PENANAkQYgTO5r49
235Please respect copyright.PENANAnpjJZg3cFM
如此光景,更是讓貝塔進一步摸索到阿爾法對伊咘西萊突然被抓走的迷惘。深感不妙的她,立在原地磨蹭著心緒好一陣子,高跟鞋才一步步走近那沉默的身影,多麼渴望可以一把擁抱著他的軀體,抓住他不讓他被任何人奪走,然而那充滿自責和愧疚的內心阻止了她如此衝動的行為。235Please respect copyright.PENANAmxGj9kfiGe

「阿爾法,你要去哪裡?」不出一會,披風又隨腳步搖擺,身影逐步移離,心中盡是矛盾的少女,無論如何也不能就這樣讓他從此消失在身邊。235Please respect copyright.PENANAb1KSL5Smp5

追隨他的步伐,急促腳步使她開始體力不支,其後她終於支撐不住,跌坐在草地上喘息連連。漸漸地,前方阿爾法的身影亦變得愈發模糊,最後一切都在眼皮間閉幕,讓漆黑支配著這小小「歌劇院」。235Please respect copyright.PENANALM0sTjEZOa

「殺了那個可恨的神族,殺了他……」此時,一把充滿殺氣的聲音在耳邊響起,其後眼前亮起少年的容姿來,他定住了神望向站在他正前方的黑影,那個黑影突如提起極其鋒利的雙刃長槍,迅速移步至少年跟前……「砰隆」的一聲,利刃激起十數片白銀碎片,力量之強大瞬間讓它周邊狂風大作,並深深陷進碎裂的鎧甲裡,在另一重碎片浪花下貫穿少年的胸口。235Please respect copyright.PENANA0jEEQ0hDYJ

鮮紅血液沿著槍頭尖端徐徐瀉下,把靛藍披風染得血紅。而少年則一言不發,棕髮垂下遮蓋著失神的雙目,映照著自己前方那深陷體內的長槍、還有那不止淌的鮮血。看到這麼一個場面,那黑影便咧嘴奸笑起來,粗暴地把長槍拔出,讓那位初入世面不久的神族倒在自身的血泊中。
