Chapter 280: Fighting for Life in the Forest (8)
Never stand up again?"
Glori sneered. He had heard enough of similar things to Sidney. And he's been trying to stand, both in the past and now. Even though he was covered in injuries, Glori did not intend to give up hope and fell to the ground in obedience to the pull of gravity.
"So, do you want to be like in the Academy, or like you are in your hometown? Your magic is pitifully weak now! Look, you look so tired...... Your body is dragging you down! So, do you want to use your sword and your will against anything that feels unfair to you? Come, let me see how good you are! I'm going to make you lose everything here! I'm going to tell the God of Light that the blue star he favors has fallen at my feet!"
Sidney generously dropped the dagger. He decided to use his swordsmanship to make Glori look back to the past. "This stubborn fellow in front of him, he must know how memorable the ordeal of the past is!" he kept muttering to himself, "Glori, Glori, you have to relive the past, because that's how I came here, in the midst of endless painful memories...... But why didn't you fall all the time?"
Gradually, Sidney forgot about the covenant because of jealousy and anger. The spearhead turned into a bitter taste for Glori.
However, a little bitterness didn't do much to Glori. Originally, Glori had gone through many hardships, and like Sidney, he lost his home, some friends, and even his beloved girl, Yvette. Moreover, Glori doesn't know where his family is yet!
In the midst of countless tribulations, Glori was in pain, struggling, reaching out his hand to the bright exit countless times, all of which Sidney did not seem to understand. It was as if Sidney had only seen Glori after he had won the Covenant!
Sidney ...... I'm really tired, and it's not just you that you know I'm on the verge of reaching the limit of my magic. Even, I can tell you generously that I can't defeat you at all in this state! You can be like someone who bullied me in a pond, and you can make me fall with a gentle push...... But don't forget! Even if I fall, I'm still me! Maybe I'll be able to get up! But what about you? You're close to the dark side...... You've compromised!"
Glori was not afraid to provoke Sidney. Even, he wanted to stimulate Sidney with sharp words, to make him sober. At one time, he was grateful to Sidney, who was probably his best friend back home.
Sidney Jr., in addition to informing Little Glori about Mr. Carlos and the hunters going to the woods to fight the spirits and savages, will also say good things about Little Glori in the presence of his other companions.
What a rare thing for Glori. In times of torment, suddenly a person will stand up, and he will not stay away like everyone else, but will help with the right thinking. Glori exhaled, telling himself what a good partner Sidney had been.
Then, Glori stopped Osen, the Golden Sword Walker, who stepped forward, and drank Adonis, who was trying to attack Sidney. "Wait! you ...... This matter has nothing to do with you!"
"So, Sidney, what are you going to do? aren't you going to take the Covenant?" Glori patted his left chest. What he meant was that the covenant was in that place.
"I have to take the covenant! I almost forgot! But you have to fall too...... Otherwise, all the people here don't want to leave easily! All those who are protected by the god of light, don't want to leave! Not a single one!"
Sidney's eyes widened, even bloodshot. He pulled out the crescent-like blade behind his back and clutched the ring grip in the middle of the inner arc. Thinking back to the misery of the past over and over again, suppressing the goodness that tormented the heart again and again. If he hadn't been rescued by the Lord of Honor who served Kyle, King of Order, he would have starved to death in the streets. From that moment on, he swore that all those who had hurt him and who did not help him would go to hell!
At first, Sidney was not going to bow his head and was tough at one point. However, the lord of the City of Honor said a few words to him. "Look, you're a very talented boy for magic...... When I touch it, my sword freezes. I can get you on your feet, all it takes is an agreement. And you? If you don't want to obey my orders, then help me find clues to the God of Light? You can even keep the appearance that you hate me! If you think about what I said, it's not like you're begging, is it? It's an invitation from me, or a deal between us!"
"That's an invitation! I didn't betray the kingdom of Alex at all!" Sidney yelled at Glori, as if it was all Glori's fault.
"Heh, he said there was no betrayal, so what was this doing? When we were blind? Is this guy so idle that he attacked us?" Walker drooped his face, so tired that he lost his patience. He wanted to do it himself, but Glori stopped him!
"But...... Walker, don't look at me!" Adonis subconsciously touched his blind left eye and even rearranged his leather blindfold, "And then, Glori, what do you decide to do?"
"Duel!"
"We've got to have a duel!"
Sidney took the lead and roared twice in quick succession. His magic is indeed powerful, even the roar can make the leaves rustle. He's changed so much......
Surprised, Glori weighed his abilities. "If it were Mr. Mayne, he might be able to knock Sidney down easily. But what is Mr. Mayne going to do in my situation?" Glori did not regret stopping his companions, though, "Poor people have their own hate...... But the hateful man may also be a pitiful man! Isn't Sidney, who is standing in front of him, a pitiful man?"
Another inner torture about whether it is worth saving, just like Glori did to Mr. Mayne. "Why is there always such a complicated problem in this world?" Glori pursed his lips and shook his head back and forth, sighing incessantly.
"Good...... A duel!"
After a moment's hesitation, Glori struggled to make a decision. He pointed to the open area to the west and walked straight over. He rubbed shoulders with Sidney, but was tormented. He couldn't wait to question God and fate. However, he swallowed it all. Reality, there is no room for regret, and there is no room for retreat!
"A duel ......"
Susan watched as Glori took one step forward and one step at a time. She tugged at her heart and grabbed Zoe who was standing to her left. She had already tried very hard, trying hard to let go of her hanging heart. Because of a start, she scratched Zoe's right arm.
"What are you doing? You have to trust him, especially in this seemingly impossible situation. Zoe patted Susan on the left shoulder.
"But what can he do to win?" said Susan, whispering, like a flower that had lost its vitality expecting rain and sunshine.
"He's already decided, we have to do what we say, otherwise, he won't want to lead us out of this forest!" Adonis was adamant. This is true even for Ossen.
The entire team of the Meritorious Knights, the veterans are staring, wanting to watch a wonderful duel. However, there were few of them who felt that Glori was in control. As a result, the novice knights sneered at each other, talking about Glori's fall.
"Hey, brothers, you can't do that! Now, Blue Star is our leader. Do you have a better candidate? and he is the one whom King Veron's left hand approves......! It's best not to underestimate him. Well, we ......"
As he spoke, Walker pulled out a bag of silver coins. Then, he found a fairly smooth stone. He poured the silver coin on it. However, no one paid attention to him, because a duel is a serious matter. Even if all the knights don't quite accept Glori's leadership, they all have sympathy, and they are all righteous people in Alex Kingdom.
Thankfully, Walker was just joking. "So, you're doing the exact opposite of what you're doing? To put it bluntly, you all like the Blue Star. Of course, so did I. ”
"Walker, you're enough. At this time, what kind of clever are you playing? I think you'd better stay in the tree like a sloth and stay quiet. Take the opportunity to rummage through the affairs of the disloyal person, and it will not be your turn!" Oson grimaced, and looked at the knights. If someone made trouble, he would give that person a stick.
Oh, indifference. Glori just sighed in his heart, not sneering. He knew that the knights were testing him, and he had already made such a decision. Stupid? He didn't think there was such a thing. He had to let the knights know that he could lead the whole team out of the dangerous Noah's jungle safely, and because of this, he had to show his ability!
But how do you get Sidney to compromise? Gloria has to overcome him, and not let Sidney get even more angry out of it. "Mr. Mayne? No, Mr. Mayne is not here. Everything that happens around you always has to rely on yourself. Thinking of this, he drew a circle with his sword on the empty ground.
"Sidney, we have a rule. Glori said.
"The rules, a way to keep you from falling?" Sidney was still mean, refusing to give up a chance to bring Glori down.
"Of course, you can bring me down. But, it has to be in this circle. Duel fairly, you know it is not to be trampled on, because of our faith. Glori was bold enough to mention the word "faith" directly, and deliberately used "we."
"Well, if I go down in this lap, I've lost...... But either way, it's a chance for you. You win, and you can leave safely. Otherwise, you're going to make them all fall here!" Sidney almost threatened, rather than simply swearing. Then, he put down the hand that had raised the moon blade when he had "sworn up" and walked into the circle.
Unexpectedly, Glori discovers that the moonblade in Sidney's hand has suddenly disappeared from his eyes - and the duel begins!
