Chapter 41: The Ballad of Death

Leaving Erica unconscious, Sixteen Nights and Athena continue to move forward. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Why don't you just ......"

As she spoke, Athena made a slicing motion with her hand on her neck, the meaning of which was self-evident.

"Or are you unexpectedly a guy who pities the jade?"

Because Sixteen Nights only knocked Erica unconscious, Athena didn't do anything, but that didn't mean she didn't want to kill those accomplices of the Demon King.

Sixteen Night touched his nose and was a little speechless, he did show mercy, although it was not because of pity and pity. Although the demon king is very hateful, Erica and the others do not have many evil deeds, not to mention that the fall of being a knight makes him quite favorable. If time permitted, he might have touched those two little girls and had a good fight.

Those two were real knights, and he could see the sparkle of knights from each other's bodies. For such a person, Sixteen Nights doesn't want to start. Besides, as long as the Demon King is defeated, then there is no reason for them to have to fight each other.

Of course, there are other considerations for Sixteen Nights.

If you think about it carefully, there are many strong people in Castlevania, but along the way, you haven't encountered many of them. Excluding the demon leaders who were dragged down by the Emperor and his party, there should be more guards in the castle.

Whether the other party underestimated him, or didn't care about his invasion and released the water, Sixteen Nights didn't want to anger the other party before seeing the Demon King.

Once the army is encircled, just breaking through will exhaust his physical strength.

A melancholy song drifted in from afar, a poetry that smelled of gloom and death, and made goosebumps crawl all over Sixteen Nights.

With a flicker of his feet, Sixteen Nights immediately stopped, and he made a quiet gesture to the person beside him and listened with his ears up.

The gloomy, hope-extinguishing voices were singing songs in praise of death, not far from them.

That place -- the Grim Reaper is there.

In addition to this, Sixteen Nights also heard the scolding of two different voices.

Asuka and Yao!

They're still alive.

Thank God!

Sixteen Nights is filled with joy and gratitude to a god who has never been masked.

"My companion is in front, but...... Death is also there. Are you coming? ”

Sixteen Nights glanced at Athena and asked tentatively.

After Athena nodded, Sixteen Nights pulled out a smile, and then crouched down slightly, powerful force bursting from the muscles of her thighs. In an instant, the stratum exploded, and the rift spread out in a radial pattern, and Sixteen Nights carried Athena directly through the wall in front of him.

"What......"

For such a chaotic assault, Asuka subconsciously almost got up.

Rumble! The shattered rocks smashed into the Grim Reaper, which was floating a few feet above the ground.

The tattered cloak rolled and swept away, sweeping away all the large and small rubble, and even the dust in the air disappeared.

"Luckily, I caught up."

Sixteen Nights put his hands on Asuka and Yao's shoulders without warning, and they were suddenly startled.

“…… Is it? Sixteen Nights, you're back! Found your target? If you don't do it, I won't forgive you easily. ”

Asuka, who had calmed down, crossed his waist with one hand and yelled at Sixteen Nights.

Then she met the Mediterranean goddess standing behind Sixteen Nights.

"It's a pity that she is the only one who can be found......"

Pointing to the Mediterranean goddess who stood behind her without saying a word, Sixteen Nights said regretfully.

"Split?"

Yao interjected, puffing out his chest as hard as he spit out a glittering hurricane that swept towards the Grim Reaper not far away.

"Hehe, the little mice that broke into the castle have all appeared together. Well, embrace death, and welcome you on the express train to hell. ”

A knife slashed through the flashing hurricane, and the Grim Reaper held the death scythe and quickly floated towards the three of them.

He was faster than a hurricane, appearing in front of the three of them in the blink of an eye. Sixteen Nights immediately pushed Yao away and met him with a punch. This time, however, Sixteen Nights stepped back at a faster pace, his arm completely twisted in just one collision. Immediately, the skin was flushed with blood, the shape of the muscles changed, and the bones of the arms twisted into twisted flowers. After inhaling hard, Sixteen Night covered his arms and retreated to his companion's side, his face showing his teeth and twitching a few times from time to time.

"In the darkness beneath the grave, sleep quietly and forever. Embrace death and gain eternal peace. This is the mercy that I, as the god of death, give to mortals. ”

After a hard blow, the Grim Reaper did not retreat, but advanced, flying by at a faster speed, and his mouth seemed to be chanting a poem about the afterlife.

"Thank you for not being sensitive!"

The three troubled children shouted in unison, their eyes shining with disdain for death.

"After you die, you have to lie quietly in a narrow coffin, dark and empty, just thinking about Uncle Ben feels depressed about such days!"

Who would like that kind of life, and the sixteen nights of happiness are not satisfied with the so-called tranquility in the slightest.

If the days after death were to be like that, even if he was buried thousands of meters underground, he would have to get up from under the ground with his broken hands.

"It's a shame that I can't experience that wonderful feeling!"

The Grim Reaper's movements were not sluggish in the slightest, and he approached the three problem children again, this time he slashed at Yao.

In order to avoid the attack of the god of death, the distance between the three of them unconsciously widened, and seeing Yao being attacked, Sixteen Nights and Asuka found that the whip was beyond their reach. Fortunately, Yao never slackened for a moment, and when he found out that the goal of death was him, he protected himself as soon as possible.

A violent whirlwind rolled up from Yao's feet, pulling a large amount of rubble to wrap around him in an instant. If you look closely, every stone that flies in the whirlwind has a metallic sheen.

Boom!

It was as if the sound of metal crashing was a chorus, and the Grim Reaper's scythe was deflected off angle by one stone after another. A deadly cold light swept across Yao's head, and Yao crouched down as if he had foreseen the trajectory of the scythe. Then, without hesitation, he quickly kicked two kicks at the Grim Reaper.

The flames were ignited, and the rapidly swirling wind intensified the flames. Fusing the Golden-winged Flame of the Roc Goldenfinch and the Flash Whirlwind of the Pegasus, the power of the flames even began to eat back against its master, and even Yao, who used the Life Catalog to simulate the fire rat and temporarily possessed flames to withstand the extreme heat, could not withstand it. Burn marks appeared on Yao's legs, and the pain that ensued made Yao's expressionless face tangled.

However, in order to win, to defeat the Grim Reaper, and to help his companions, Yao endured all the pain, and the leg wind of the kick became more powerful and more powerful.

The ability of the Life Catalog made the Grim Reaper realize Yao's difficulty, and it was difficult for the Grim Reaper to contain her before she collapsed due to the consumption of the Life Catalog.

The three people who were not worth mentioning at the beginning have finally grown up.

"Listen, the footsteps of death, embrace and separate from your lover, throw yourself into the arms of death, and enjoy the peace of the land."

In the midst of the fierce battle, the Grim Reaper still maintained an undisturbed aura, chanting poetry that he had never heard of.

For the arrogance unintentionally displayed by the Grim Reaper, Sixteen Nights almost gritted their teeth, and that indifference was undoubtedly their silent mockery.

Ignoring the pain of his arm, Sixteen Nights forcibly wrapped his severed arm around his body, and he couldn't wait to trample on that arrogance.

"The nagging is endless, you give me enough to stop! If that's enough, how about taking my punch? ”

After simply dealing with the arm injury and not affecting the activity, Sixteen Nights immediately supported Yao's battle.

The Grim Reaper swung his scythe and blocked Yao's kick with the long handle of the scythe, and without looking at the flames spreading to the scythe, he grabbed the burning spot directly, and turned around and swung a knife at the attacker.

Turning, the scythe swept horizontally, and Sixteen Nights immediately saw that if he didn't stop, the scythe would sweep through his waist and split him in two.

Sixteen Nights laughed wildly, turned around without hesitation, blocked the scythe with his severed arm, and swept a kick with the help of the force of the rotation.

Anyway, the broken arm can't be recovered in a short time, in this case, it is better to use the waste to resist the next knife.

Be ruthless to others and even more ruthless to yourself, this is the truth that Sixteen Nights learned from fighting.

Boom! The Grim Reaper was swept away by Sixteen Nights, and was repulsed for the first time.

However, the whole body is full of bones, and the Grim Reaper is destined to be inherently immune to most of the injuries. Even though he slammed into the wall, it was the wall that was destroyed, and the Grim Reaper, from the outside, did not seem to be injured.

"No one escapes death. Therefore, no one lives forever. ”

The hideous skeletal face is so humanized that it reveals pity and contempt for the three of the Sixteen Nights, the god of death has the pride of the god of death, and he has a very high degree of restraint for human beings.

"Smelling the scent of blood, I found the temple of requiem

A ruined scene, ghosts singing debauchery

Black rosemary blooms and vines meander......"

The ballad of the Grim Reaper sounds, it is the Requiem of Death, the confession of those who are about to die. Death is not terrible, and the sooner it comes, the sooner it is liberated. The constant theme of death guiding beings to the grave emphasizes the inescapable fate of death.

The song had a mysterious power, and the mere hearing of such mourning made Asuka lose sight, and she suddenly felt that it was not wrong to accept death in this way.

Not only Asuka, but Yao and Sixteen Nights were also affected one after another, and the morale on their bodies quickly declined.

"The scythe of death, of Celtic origin, symbolizes the 'harvest of life'. In addition, there is also a theory that in Greek mythology, the god Cronus cut off the genitals of his father, the primordial god Ouranos, with a sickle. The scythe has always served as a symbol of Kronos. He was seen as the pre-Greek god of fertility, but later people confused him with the name of Cronus, the embodiment of time, so that the image of Cronus holding a scythe (or a long-handled scythe) became a symbol of the passage of time, and in this sense the sickle became a symbol of death. ”

Athena calmly read that as a natural deity, she was an immortal being, and the power of death had a very slight effect on her.

Her voice pulled the three troubled children who were dying back from the other.
