"I see, it seems that the previous actions were all delaying time?"

Looking at the group of civilians standing in front of Evan and making meat shields for him, the blonde man couldn't help but laugh.

"Hah...... Aha...... It seems that you are quite clever enough to use these innocent people to threaten me. If it weren't for me, I'm afraid I would have fallen for your plan. But it's a pity that you've met me, my Aegis Rona Riley, and you're really unlucky...... Half-demons. ”

To be honest, the other party's behavior is very abnormal, which is completely different from the situation that Evan imagined. It stands to reason that the other party should not feel angry at this time, and then because of these hostages around him, he watched him leave with anger?

But now the other party actually started laughing, what's going on? What's so funny about that?

You must know that these civilians are all under his control, and generally do not want to contact his control over these people without special means. But the other party's confident expression seemed to tell Evan that he just had a way, which made Evan feel unhappy all of a sudden.

Therefore, Aven condensed a large number of black spears, corresponding to the heads of each of these civilians, as long as he released the control of the black spear, these civilians would be pierced by the spear.

However, after seeing Aven's action, Ronna's expression still did not change, if there was a change, it was probably that the mocking look on his face became more obvious.

"Huh...... Don't waste your efforts, half-demons. It seems that you don't understand why I was chosen as the instructor of this preparatory order, so I'll show you why I was chosen as the instructor of this order. ”

That's right, even if it is a knight order that is just a reserve, there are many knights with unlimited prospects in it, and how can the Holy See let these talents be sacrificed in vain? Therefore, Ronna, who was selected as the instructor of this reserve knight order, must have the strength to protect the entire knight order.

"Guardian Shield"

And now, in front of the civilians in front of Aven, the laughing Rona suddenly took out a round shield that looked rather simple and was only the size of a human head from the rippling air.

"Hmm, this nasty power is the same as the guy before......"

The moment the round shield appeared, Aven felt that it was exactly the same strength as the silver armored warrior before. Although, the guy before took out a sword, but this guy took out a round shield. However, Evan knew the restraint of that force. Therefore, he was also prepared for defense as soon as possible, and placed these civilians beside him in advance to prevent the other party from suddenly attacking.

However, after a while, Ai Wen did not feel the other party's intention to attack, and the other party only slowly equipped the round shield on his other hand without holding a sword.

"What is he doing?"

Seeing this, Ai Wen couldn't help but think in his mind, but immediately Ai Wen understood what the other party was doing this for.

Because...... The other party had already rushed in front of him, and the tip of the long sword in the opponent's hand was not even a meter away from him.

“！”

So, sensing the other party's attack, Ai Wen immediately controlled the civilians around him, causing them to rush under the opponent's long sword.

"What...... What?!"

However, to Aven's surprise, those civilians seemed to be shrouded in something, glowing with a slight blue light, and they actually resisted the opponent's long sword like this, you know, it was an attack that even Aven, who was now strengthened by the power of original sin, would be injured, and as a result, it was blocked by such a child's playful blue light, what kind of joke is this......

Then, to Aven's surprise, those civilians who were shrouded in blue light actually broke out of his control at this time, and all fell to the ground weakly, completely useless.

You know, his method of controlling these civilians is to instill dark elements into these people, and use the corrosive effect of dark elements to gradually make the combination of these civilians and dark elements extremely close, which is why Evan took what Ron said just now as a lie. But now the result is like Evan being slapped in the face by the other party, which really annoys him.

"Damn, no wonder this guy is so confident, it turns out that he has such a method! Bastard, bastard!!"

Now Evan has completely lost the last insurance, if he wants to rely on such a body, if he wants to survive under Rona who is stronger than himself, then he can only rely on this power that will erode him, the power of original sin, which is both dangerous and powerful.

It just so happens that now Evan is also in the midst of anger against Rona, and he doesn't have to worry about not having the "fuel" of the power of original sin, and now Evan is covered in bruises, what he needs in order to be able to fight is ...... That's right, an incredibly strong body. However, after all, Ai Wen is only a half-demon, and he also belongs to a half-demon clan with outstanding talents in magic, and it can almost be said that there is no way to strengthen his body.

The only way to strengthen the body, which is still in the category of magic, is to use the power of magic to temporarily strengthen one's body. But since this is a category of magic, it is natural that it will be limited by the category of magic. For some weapons with demon-breaking properties, the magic enhancement is almost equal to zero.

Therefore, Ai Wen should and can only choose the only way, which is to use the erosion of the power of original sin to strengthen his body.

However, such an approach would make people feel unbearable pain, because since Evan's source of transformation at this time was anger, then Evan's whole body, including his internal organs, was now undergoing the burning of the fire, and he could even feel the flames as if they were burrowing into his body, scurrying around inside.

"Hmm......"

Such intense pain made Evan inadvertently distracted when facing Ronna.

And the result of distraction is naturally to end with the long sword in Rona's hand piercing Aven.

"Wow!"

Naturally, Ai Wen, whose body was pierced by the long sword, couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

The body was pierced, which was not an injury that could be ignored, and Evan's body had not yet been completely eroded by the power of original sin, to the point where he could ignore a sharp weapon like a sword.

However, if it has not been completely eroded, it means that it has reached the point of at least partial erosion, and if it is just that his body is penetrated, Evan can still bear it.

"Next...... You don't want to leave......

So, after suffering the damage of being pierced through his body, Evan suddenly stretched out his hands and grabbed Ronna's long sword.

"Hmm?how is that possible?!"

Rona was also surprised when he saw this.

He aimed at the heart to attack, and he did hit Aiwen's heart, and it was impossible for ordinary people or even ordinary half-demons to survive, what the hell is this......

But even so, Rona still doesn't think this will bring any crisis to himself.

After all, he's only using one of the special effects of his Guardian Shield at the moment, ignoring the number of Ranged Guards. There is also a special effect, which is also the effect of Rhon's confident capital, which has not been exposed yet.

Compared to Aven, who has already made various sacrifices now, Rona can indeed be said to be full of advantages. It's just that advantage is often in a battle, and there is no absolute. Especially in the battle of life and death, there is often a result that the person who is at a disadvantage gives the person with a huge advantage to the winner in one blow.

Therefore, Ronna's advantage now only depends on what Evan has to sacrifice. What if Evan really took out all his power in exchange for revenge...... Everyone present, including Leo and others, who had already fled the city but were discovered by the retreating Reserve Knights, were afraid that they would not be able to escape their fate.

However, Aven's hatred of humanity was so strong that he could not sacrifice everything and become completely insane.

What became Aven's strength was his own desire.

But what gets in his way is also his own desire.

It's contradictory, isn't it?
