The leaders of the Ludwig family's generation, although they have the reputation of genius, are still hard-working after all, and they have finally reached such a level with a little talent, compared to the genius of Karene Amadeus, there is still a gap.
But at this moment, standing in front of everyone, he exuded an extraordinary air of confidence.
"I see, I was careless. β
He lifted his hood, revealing a face that had been partially eroded by runes, his eyes glowing with a faint violet, and beside Noah, a thick black mist was gradually emerging, enveloping the space around him.
"If I had known, I would have faked the illusion that I was dead. β
"The host ......"
At this time, the biggest blow was undoubtedly Ai Xue.
She stared at Noah, her fists clenched, her joints creaking, and though not too obvious, anyone could tell that the Heroic Maiden was now struggling to hold back her anger.
"You are indeed the strongest heroic spirit, even in history, you are quite powerful, if you join forces, this crown war must be captured. β
Noah said, understating, without the slightest consideration of the people next to Karen, Vivien, and others.
"Then why are you ......?"
Ai Xue asked, she couldn't stand such a transgressive behavior, in her opinion, senseless killing would only lead to a chain of resentment, and this crown war was supposed to be a battlefield for heroes from all walks of life.
"You once said that you would be loyal to me and protect my safety until death, right?"
Noah opened his mouth and did not answer Ai Xue's question, but asked in turn.
"This ......"
Ai Xue was speechless for a while, she had made such a vow, because her long-cherished wish was to protect others, but in the current situation, she could not help Noah against her will.
"In fact, in any case, after this crown war, everything will come to an end, I just knew in advance and made some arrangements. β
Noah said, holding out his hand to Ai Xue.
"Help me, you can regain your body, live again, you have many regrets, to make amends, to achieve, to take revenge, as long as you stand under my command, then all this is at your fingertips. β
It was a tempting invitation, and Lawson looked at Ai Xue, the girl biting her lower lip, oozing a little blood, and finally raised her head.
"I refuse. β
There is no room for compromise.
β...... In this case, there is no way......."
Noah withdrew his hand, and then his face changed, and the back of his hand was revealed, on which three snakes were biting each other forming a pattern of branding.
"I, Noah Ludwig, with the authority bestowed upon me by the War of the Crown, give orders to my Heroic Spiritβ"
He smiled, a cruel smile that was chilling.
"Die. β
"What!"
Rosen and Karen didn't even have time to stop it, only to hear the sound of a sharp blade piercing their bodies, and bits of blood dripped down and stained the mottled earth.
β...... Woo. β
Ai Xue looked at her chest in disbelief, where there was a pale blue long sword, it was none other than the holy sword Elslan.
Pain and reluctance hit her at the same time, and in her vision, Noah disappeared, replaced by dark memories.
"Ain, there are times when we do something we have to do, but I hope you don't. β
In front of a glorious city gate somewhere, the back figure that he had been longing for said, slowly moving away.
"Heretic Ain Gransie, do you confess your crimes?"
On the trial bench, her former colleague frantically accused her of being framed in order to protect herself.
"Hehe, I didn't expect the two of us to fight for many years and finally end up here. β
In the dungeon, a serial killer she captured with her own hands laughed.
"Burn her !!"
In the square of the end, the people with fanatical eyes were shouting at her.
Everything flashed by like a marquee, and the last thing she remembered was the temperature of the young boy holding her hand.
"Ahem......"
Coughing up a mouthful of blood, Ai Xue fell to her knees, feeling her consciousness hazy.
β...... Awake. β
The person next to her seemed to be calling her name, but she couldn't hear anything anymore.
In a snow-white world, there was only one figure, waiting for her in the distance.
Ai Xue found herself transformed into her childhood, barefoot and wearing tattered clothes, rummaging through the garbage heap for food, until that day, a man found her.
"Your life shouldn't be like this, come with me, I need you. β
The other party said in a soft voice and stretched out his hand towards the young Ai Xue.
Ai Xue, on the other hand, held that hand tightly.
"Ai Xue ......"
Langton watched as the girl in his arms gradually lost his breath, and raised his hand as if trying to grasp something, but eventually fell down, and there was no more sound.
Like other dead spirits, Ai Xue dissipated into particles of light, and finally disappeared without a trace.
"What a stubborn fellow, Langton, just like you. β
Noah said as if disgusted, and raised his hand.
"It's almost time, it's time for all the Heroic Spirits to be put in place. β
His target was obviously Lawson, and the black mist around Noah suddenly became thicker, forming sharp claws and attacking Lawson.
Vivien reacted immediately, though.
The blood-colored greatsword in her hand raised a scarlet storm and slashed directly at the claws of the black mist.
However, these claws dissipated as soon as they touched the blade, and after a short breath, they re-formed in different places, instead surrounding Vivien who had burst in.
"Insect carving skills. β
Vivien, who had fought with the necromancer, naturally could not be trapped so easily, the storm of the long sword in her hand spread directly throughout her body, and as long as those sharp claws dared to approach her side, they would be instantly shattered and turned into mist.
At this time, Karene and Lawson also joined the fight.
Karen didn't hold back, threw out three magic crystals, and with a wave of her hand, three beams of light shot at Noah along three different trajectories, those black claws wanted to block, but they were flexibly bypassed, these beams seemed to be alive, and headed towards Noah in a strange curve.
Lawson drew the Wolf Knight's greatsword and broke through the speed of sound in an instant, facing those black claws, he crushed them with exquisite sword skills, and in the blink of an eye, he was within reach of Noah.
The three of them had not cooperated before, but at this time, they showed amazing combat qualities, and for a while, the chain of attacks almost completely blocked Noah's retreat.
"Your battles are exciting, but they're just exciting. β
Noah did not panic in the face of this grim form, but said unhurriedly.
The black mist around him suddenly condensed, becoming almost physical.
With his words, Kalian's three beams of light fell on the black mist, but they seemed to be swallowed up without any reaction, and the stone sank into the sea.
Vivien's side, the number of black claws swelled, drowning them out in an instant.
Rosen's greatsword came into contact with Noah's black mist, but it was like slashing an indestructible shield, and with the strength and explosion of his bronze steps, he couldn't move forward a bit.
"Do you know the difference between the silver rank and the bronze tier?"
No expression, Noah Ludwig, said in a calm tone.
