6. Crazy Night, Blood Moon
Eric Watt, a man full of mysteries......
The escort to Mount Maria, including Taroko, Hort, and Kana, a total of thirty men, came to the mountainside and found a man in a suit and leather shoes, and found him looking at Taroko and his party, and that person was Eric.
Eric: "Duke, I followed the king's orders and rushed from the capital to the city of El overnight. Then he looked up, the moonlight shining on half of his face, his purple hair obscuring his charming sapphire vertical pupils as he looked at Taroko.
Erik: "Isn't this the genius knight of the Royal Knights, Tarocco Miller, and the Cruise Archer and Hult Homis. β
Tarocco's feet moved back unconsciously, and his fingers twitched inadvertently, and Eric was ecstatic when he saw him make such a small microscopic movement. Taroko was not afraid, his right foot moved back, his right hand bent down to his chest, and said:
"Hello Duke Eric, may I ask what the king has ordered you to do?"
Eric walked out slowly, patted the sleeves of his suit, and then straightened his waist with his collar, his hands slowly folded behind his waist, his charming figure exuded the handsomeness and charm of an adult, and there was an inexplicable sense of oppression, he moistened his throat for a while, clenched his right hand into a fist and coughed a few times, and then said:
"The king has told me to see how the city of El is doing, but it is you, what have you done on this mountain. β
Tarocco looked at him with a piercing look in his eyes, without any tenderness. As Eric walked around, Tarroko's gaze kept moving with him.
"Lord Duke, we are looking for the murderer who set fire to the city. Taroko said.
Hearing what Taroko was saying, Eric stopped, then turned his gaze to Taroko and his troops.
Erik: "Are you suspicious of me?" Eric's eyes shifted to the troops, and then at Tarocco. Then Hort stood up, bowed first, and then said to Eric:
"We didn't suspect you, my lord, we just came here to investigate if there was any enemy here. β
Tarocco: "Your Excellency, it's not safe for you to stay here. β
Eric thought for a moment, then nodded and said:
"Well, you're all here, and I'm not going all the way to El City to look for you, so I'll go with you. He walked to the middle of the group, and the group continued to the top of the mountain.
On the way, there was a secret discussion between Taroko and Hoth.
Holt: "Hmm...... Tarocco, Duke Eric, could he be the murderer?"
Tarocco: "I'm not convinced, but the fact that a dignified Guild Earl is alone really makes me suspicious." He rose from knighthood to duke within three years. He is now about 25 years old, and the result of the assessment is that he does not have high-intensity Yafah in his body. It's very rigorous, it seems that there is a younger sister at home, no relatives, and her appearance is what many hot girls like, and she has no partner. It feels very oppressive and can't understand his mind. β
Holt: "No wonder he became the Duke of the capital at a young age, then he is a genius." It's the first time I've seen something big other than you, and it's a bit ...... Get excited. β
Taroko looked at Hort with strange eyes as he looked around, and he seemed to vaguely feel that something was suppressing them, more and more intense.
Hult: "Do you think Pace's words are worth your credibility?"
Tarocco: "Well, now I can only slowly find faults, besides, I am more concerned about his leg and stomach injury." β
Holt: "Do you think he caused the wound on his leg or stomach, or something?" β
Taroko's brow suddenly tightened, and he was about to reach the top of the mountain when Taroko asked him.
"Do you know what the only thing he can show is Yafah?"
Hult shook his head.
As they talked, they made their way up the hill to the top, and Taroko turned to Hort.
Taroko: "Hort, you don't seem quite right"
Suddenly there was a round of applause, and even Hoult applauded.
Erik: "I can manipulate anyone who is not strong-willed, or who is intimidated by me. β
Taroko: "You guy!"
Eric held out his hand, and in his hand was a command written by the king in golden letters, floating in the air
"Destroy the city of El and the reactionary forces in it, and leave no one behind!"
Yes, it was the king's handwriting, and it also revealed the king's Yafah, and then Eric stepped out of the crowd, and the guards next to him gave way, and he walked up to Taroko, took off his helmet and threw it on the ground, leaning into his ear and speaking.
"It just took a little trick to bewitch Hult. When you see this command, I believe that your heart will also obey me. β
"You...... You ......" At this moment, Taroko felt that his consciousness was slowly being deprived, and Eric couldn't help but be happy when he saw him like this, and then said to him.
"I chose to be in the middle of the line just now for better maneuvering and counting the number of people by the way. Alas, Chief Knight, there are no Assassins or others ambushed here. β
Tarocco's face began to sweat profusely, and his breathing was not rhythmic at all, when Eric propped his head on his shoulder, his mouth closer and closer to his earlobe, and said a slight word to him.
"Well, there are no assassins scheduled to attack me. Then his tiger teeth bit down on Taroko's earlobe. Tarocco instantly got goosebumps, and the sweat on his body began to rise a little more.
Eric saw that he was sweating so much, and he began to help him take off his bulky armor little by little, dragging it from the top to his legs, and then stood up, looking at the already stiff Taroko, he stood up and lifted Taroko's chin with his left index finger.
"Hey, hey, lovely knight, you haven't answered my question yet. Eric's voice was crispy and charming.
Taroko choked up and said, "A total of ...... There are 30 people in total......"
Eric looked and walked around beside him, and he said as he went:
"Tarocco, actually, this order was written by me manipulating the king. Hearing this, Taroko became angry, he broke the period of being controlled by Eric, and then swung his fist at Eric, Eric elbowed it, and Taroko's strength was not as strong as before. Then he snapped his fingers, and Taroko's head suddenly began to ache sharply, and he looked at Tarocco with his head in his hands and said:
"You're right, there are only 30 of you, but I feel that there are definitely more than 30 people, and there must be ambushes on the side. He snapped his fingers again, and the pain in Taroko disappeared, and he fell to the ground, panting.
"The way to manipulate people is very simple, you just need to find the idea that he is afraid of. Eric said, and then he snapped his fingers and said:
"Everyone, look in the direction of El City, watch this fireworks bigger and more beautiful. Including the three men who were hiding. "Somehow, the flames of El City suddenly burned violently, and the flames soared into the sky, illuminating the brief darkness.
"Do you think I'm going to fall for you, Eric!" Kana said from the crowd, and then she jumped out of it and pointed it at Eric in mid-air with the flame of Alphah, but he dodged it.
Erik: "It's good that there are still people who aren't under the control of my illusion!"
Kana walked up to him, her right palm facing him, and a formation of Yafah appeared on her wrist, and the flames were concentrated in the palm of her hand, ready to be fired......
"Didn't you look at the back?" said Eric, speaking in a super-fast manner. Kana subconsciously looked back, there was another one standing behind him, Kana was frightened, and the Eric who was going to attack with a fireball made an uppercut to Kana's stomach, and the Eric standing behind her also disappeared.
"Just hit your stomach and felt like there was a barrier of spells, it turns out that you relied on this to resist my illusion, but you were too naΓ―ve. β
"Oh, really? Can't I share the spell barrier with my teammates!"
Eric's eyes widened, and the escorts, including Hort and Taroko, looked at him, the previous illusion attack was completely useless, and then Taroko walked up to him and said to him:
"We already know that you will use illusions, and Hot and I will seduce you first, let you control first, let you down your guard, and besides, you just said that you control the king, and this can already solve you on the spot. β
"So, you deliberately got hit?!"
Taroko ignored him, turned and walked away from him.
Eric smiled alone, his right hand facing Taroko, something seemed to appear in his hand, and then said to him:
"The abacus is good, but people will always keep a hand. You're ignoring the point, Tarocco, you don't like to keep a hand. β
When Taroko heard this, he immediately turned back, and then ordered 4 guards to be next to him, and if there was a small move, they would be killed immediately, and then he walked in front of Eric.
Taroko: "I have heard that you have always been a genius of the empire since I was a child, when I was young, my parents wanted me to be as talented as you, and when I first met you, I was attracted by your charm, I can't imagine that the next encounter is not in the national capital guild, you are so good, I can't understand that you would do such a thing!"
With that, he turned around again and made a gesture to the 4 guards, meaning to kill Eric. They clenched their spears and prepared to stab Eric to death.
Erik: "I told you that I still have a hand, and you still don't understand?"
When the spears were about to approach Eric, somehow, they suddenly turned, those spears seemed to be conscious, aimed at their hearts, the ones who reacted quickly escaped, and there was a guard whose heart was directly pierced, Eric bent down and looked at the guard who had been pierced with the heart, and then touched the wound with his hand, and then inserted his hand into it and touched everywhere, the guards were stunned, Hult quickly pulled the bow and shot the arrow at Eric's temple, but unexpectedly, when the arrow just touched the skin, it flew to the original place and shot Hult's handγ When Kana attacks with flames, the flames seem to avoid him and can't hit him.
Erik: "You're noisy, hey, this guy is dead. With that, the hand was pulled out of the dead guard, and the blood did not seem to reach the hands and sleeves, but slipped out. The moment he pulled out his hand, the dead guard exploded.
"There are 32 people left. β
Blood splattered and fell in every corner, as if it had just rained blood, staining the ground red.
"The blood rain that is rare in a century, you can appreciate it. Eric said.
Tarocco couldn't believe it, and it wasn't long before one of the guards died, and Eric was still admiring. Taroko picked up the knight's spear and injected it into Yafah, striking Eric in the head.
Erik: "Don't you understand! Your offensive is useless to me!" and then Taroko was bounced off by something. The blood rain lasted for a short time, and Eric began to get angry.
"You guy, I haven't appreciated it carefully!"
Taroko took a closer look, all the previous attacks avoided him perfectly, why didn't the blood drip on him, even the grass on the ground he stepped on didn't get blood, it was definitely not a spell barrier. He subconsciously looked at the sky, and the strange thing was that the moon in the sky seemed so clear that it felt closer to the ground. The most important thing was that the moon was red, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
"You can't fool me, Tarocco, you've come to the space I've created. There's no reason why I can't talk about my abilities now. β
Tarocco wiped the blood and sweat from his face.
Erik: "There's a man on a big tree behind you, there's a guy on the big rock next to that tree, and there's a guy behind me, am I right? Sadly, I don't need to wait for your answer, I already know. β
Taroko didn't know what he was talking about, he only cared about what he just said about being able to create space, this ability was really tricky, it couldn't hurt him at all, and Li Fang was in Taroko, the number of people was a numerical concept to him, and he couldn't be used as a group fight at all.
"Welcome Survivors, to my party, Blood Moon Space!"
Eric bent down and bowed to the guards, his right palm facing up near his lower abdomen, his left hand clenched into a fist behind his waist, and something that appeared to be a crystal appeared on his right hand, it kept spinning and irregularly, and then the guards present and the people who were hiding were all restrained by a force.
The space created by Eric suppressed them, and he slowly walked up to Taroko, and put the crystal to his face infinitely close but could not make contact, and then removed the crystal, and said in a very crisp voice to the base of his ear:
"I can't move, how can I save El City. β
