Chapter 163: Liberation
In his own words, Ronin took on the form of a demon hunter and followed the energy fluctuations in the air around him to the place where Duke Rosen and Rick Barry were fighting.
This is a valley-like location in the Panga Ruins, just a few hundred meters from the palace where Anne was held.
Although it was a battle, it was not until Luo Ning got closer that he realized that it was more appropriate to describe it as a one-sided attack.
Unable to use combo magic, Rick Barry is like a tiger without fangs, and his threat to Duke Rosen is greatly reduced. What's more, Duke Rosen had already seen the power of the twin masks, so he didn't give Rick Barry a chance to put on the mask at all.
After quietly leaving Ronin's side to follow Rick Barry, he did not appear immediately, but only suddenly made a move when the other party stopped to look for the traces of the two of them, activated the dark purple arm containing the power of the demon outside the sky, and launched a continuous onslaught at Rick Barry.
Rick Barry felt for the twin masks in his pocket at the first moment. However, although he touched the treasure, he did not have a chance to wear it on his face to activate the effect. Whenever he made a move, Duke Lawson would suddenly speed up his speed and swing a claw at him like a lightning bolt! Although this claw looked like nothing more than five deep purple light marks, it was not difficult to judge with Rick Barry's strength: either he would release his defensive magic with all his strength to block the deep purple light marks, or he would be torn to pieces by these light marks!
At this moment, he was extremely jealous of those demon swordsmen who could not only release magic, but also possess extraordinary physiques. If he was also a magic swordsman, instead of a magician with a weak body, he would have been fighting to catch Duke Lawson's claws, and he would have to wear a twin mask!
"Oh, it seems that the victory and defeat have been decided!" Luo Ning came to the two not far away, and saw the battle situation at this time at a glance. Rick Barry, who wields the twin masks, is indeed stronger, but unfortunately he can't find a chance to show it. And once he was close to Duke Rosen, the powerful power that the latter gained from the demons outside the sky was vividly displayed, and Rick Barry suffered a lot!
"Ronin?!" Duke Rosen asked, as his hands kept moving and the attack became more violent, making Rick Barry look scrambling.
"Didn't you go to rescue Anne, why did you come here again?"
Luo Ning shrugged his shoulders and showed a sly smile: "Sorry, I lied!"
Duke Rosen sneered in his heart and said coldly: "Hmph, I knew you didn't save her! You hypocrite, what else are you going to do to save Anne! Your purpose has been these two twin masks from the beginning!!"
"No, you misunderstood me!" Luo Ning smiled miserably, and his fingertips lit up with a bright light: "I mean, I want to save Anne and get the Twin Mask!!!
As soon as the words fell, Luo Ning pushed out the basketball-sized surging magic energy at his fingertips.
Dimmly lit dilapidated palaces, vine-strewn colonnades and walls, antiquated ceilings with intricate carvings, and metal puppets clasping their arms.
That's all Anne saw when she woke up.
Today was supposed to be the day of his wedding, one of the most important moments of her life. Although she had long known Duke Rosen's true attitude towards her, and knew that her marriage was just a bargaining chip for her father to maintain his rule, he still had a hope that he could smile and welcome his married life!
However, while he was waiting for the groom to arrive, the Nome Palace was suddenly surrounded by hundreds of mercenaries and adventurers. They clamored to enter the Nome Palace, to use her to blackmail his father and make him pay the price he deserved. The young Anne had little room to resist, so she had to hide in her room, wrapped under the covers and pray for her father to come and save her soon.
The door to the room was pushed open shortly thereafter. However, what Anne saw was not her father, but the Barry brothers who had been tinkering with something in the back room.
Press you tightly grasp the corners of your skirt, and use your strength to pretend to be calm, not wanting these two people to see through the fear in your heart: "You guys, what are you going to do?!"
As soon as Rick Barry entered the room, he sat down at the round table and wrote something, and at the same time ordered his brother without raising his head: "Brent, stun that chick! Whether we can get the other half of the mask is up to this chick!"
"Leave it to me, Rick!" Brent smirked as she approached Anne, a gray cold light falling, the last thing Anne saw before she passed out.
Back in the depths of the Hofn ruins, Anne looked left and right and landed on the two-meter-tall iron golem behind her. She broke free twice, and found that the iron palm on her arm did not move.
"Please let me go, I, I'm just an insignificant little girl! Father, he'll never risk anything for me!" she shouted for a while, only to find that the Tin Golem was still staring ahead, and the blue flames in his eyes did not even fluctuate, and she realized that the Tin Golem was just an emotionless machine that could not understand her own words.
Anne laughed miserably. Knowing that he couldn't escape from here, his body and heart were a lot more relaxed.
After she was killed by my father, I always longed for what my mother called 'strong' and 'courage', and told myself to be brave and strong! So I wanted to do my best in everything I could, and I wanted to make myself more valuable in my father's eyes. Only in this way will he not abandon me like garbage! But after all, I am just being strong! Once an accident like today's occurs, all my courage will be useless!"
In the empty palace, only the sound of water droplets sounded out of nowhere, corresponding to Anne's self-talk. Anne glanced up at the tin puppet and chuckled, "I'm so stupid!
As soon as he thought of this, the Extreme Black God no longer continued to attack, but opened the magic tome, and used his magic power to sprinkle another layer of thick black mist around the dark red light shield. The dark magic energy contained in these black mists was several times richer than the black magic he had unleashed when he had slaughtered all over Morrowind before. Just by touching the edge of the black mist, the surrounding ground was corroded into a dent more than ten meters deep. Only the area covered by the mask was unaffected, and gradually became an island.
Inside the dark red light shield, as soon as Lin Qiong's words fell, a beam of golden light lit up a few meters away from the two of them. Lin Qiong had seen a similar scene before, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Teleportation magic ?!!"
