Chapter Twenty-Five: The Genius Creator

The strange death of the guards without resistance chilled Edmund's heart, but it also aroused the ruthlessness and madness in his heart. Cornered wolves are dangerous creatures, and the Black Prince resembles a fierce wolf.

"Stop him!"

Under the order of the black prince, even though he knew that he would die, the general was still firmly in front of him. The puppets that roam around the city flock to the city as if they were frantically, and the unintelligent puppets at this moment are like loyal guards who have come from all over the world to defend their kings.

"I won't let you hurt Your Highness."

The general, known as the strongest magician after the head of the academy, showed off his amazing combat power, and between the ten finger sketches, his puppet was so flexible that it seemed to be opened, pulling out afterimages in the air.

However, his opponent is the one who really opens the hanging. In the face of GM, even kryptonite RMB players can only raise their hands and surrender.

The five fingers slashed diagonally with a knife, and the trajectory of the instant slash was far sharper than any divine weapon. No doll could get close to Cangzhen's body, let alone hurt him. Perhaps their only effect was to hold him back, but of course this was also because Cang Zhen did not use the strange tricks that began to appear next to the Black Prince.

Fortunately, this situation was expected by the general, and he was not discouraged at all, and still resisted stubbornly. Because, he believes that the prince behind him will definitely come up with a good solution. That highness's potential is bottomless, and the more fiercely it is suppressed, the more powerful the rebound will be.

While dealing with the continuous attack of the puppets, Cang Zhen maintained a keen eye and listened to all directions, and Edmond's self-righteous small movements were noticed by him early on. It's just that the innocence who wants to see how far he can go doesn't choose to puncture.

The land battleship in the air quietly turned its guns, and when Cangzhen was delayed by the cannon fodder puppet, the main guns turned around little by little. Fearing detection, Edmond even tried to suppress a smug smile from popping up.

The land battleship "Diddleus" rotated very little, and it was almost impossible to detect it if you didn't look closely, and of course it would take several times longer to complete the U-turn.

However, it was all worth it. As long as he could take out that monster, Edmond thought that even the sacrifice of more cannon fodder dolls would be worth it.

"Die!"

Not to the disappointment of Cangzhen, Edmond was indeed a hero, and in order to annihilate him as a great enemy, he did not hesitate to abandon the general who was loyal to him.

I saw that the main gun of the land battleship "Dideles", which had quietly completed the U-turn, was shining, and the magic cannon that was a few points thicker than the building was fired.

The target is naturally Cang Zhen, who doesn't need to be considered, but the general who is struggling to fight Cang Zhen in order to delay Cang Zhen's footsteps is also unexpected, and a trace of astonishment flashes.

"Ah, wretched fellow, abandoned as an outcast by his own lord."

At the end of the army, Cang Zhen still joked at the general who didn't even know his name.

"Humph!" The general snorted coldly, and seemed not without resentment about this matter.

"In order to take out you monster, Your Highness has made the right choice. If I had retreated, you monster wouldn't have gone unnoticed. It is my honor as a soldier to die for the cause of the monarch I serve. ”

At the last moment, the sense of honor as a soldier made the general let go of the obsession of life and death.

Indeed, if you can get rid of a strong enemy like Cangzhen for the lord, sacrifice is not unacceptable. Although His Royal Highness killed the killer without even saying a word, it was really chilling, but the opponent was the person in front of him, and he couldn't be too careful.

The general's mind turned a lot in an instant, but in the face of a sudden attack, he didn't even have time to dodge and defend the posture.

The light is about to swallow up the figure.

"It's a pity, you're dead, and I'm not interested in accompanying you. So, goodbye...... No, never again. ”

Using his magic to conjure up a hat, Cangzhen took it off his head and saluted gracefully, and his figure disappeared like a broken foam.

"What......"

The stunned and unwilling voices came to an abrupt end, and after the torrent of light disappeared, the place where the general and Cangzhen fought was only a void, and nothing existed.

At the moment when he controlled the "Didelus" to fire the main gun, Edmund used the magic circuit "space warp" on the ship to teleport himself and Evangeline to the inside of the battleship, which can be said to be the safest place.

In the center of the room, in the highest captain's seat, Edmund collapsed into his chair.

The walls and ceiling of the bridge began to become transparent, turning into a "window" into the outside world.

Looking at the fading light of the "window", Edmond let out a long sigh.

No one was able to fight hard at the main guns of the ship. See, the general who is the only one of the "strongest" magicians, Edward, does not even have the ability to react, and a flood of light with great energy will scorch everything away.

"Ha, haha, hahaha...... Dead, dead, who else is my opponent! ”

Cold, maniacal laughter echoed through the empty battleship. The green-haired puppet girl stood silently beside the mad prince, her eyes calm and empty.

Under the land battleship, a slender arm stretched out from the rubble of the collapsed ruins, and the originally white arm was covered with dust, and it also scratched a lot of buttocks, revealing blood marks.

"Ahem."

Pushing aside the rubble that weighed down on her body, a girl with the same face as the puppet girl next to Edmond stood up.

"I ...... What have I done? Everything, everything is my fault! If, not me...... People won't, ...... dead."

The girl looked around and burst into tears, covering her face and crying.

"Oh! See what I found? ”

Hearing the voice, the girl looked up.

Compared with the expressionless puppet girl who followed Edmond, the one in front of Cangzhen imagined a "person".

No, it should be said, she was originally a human being—a living human being.

Because of her weak strength, she was blown away by the wind of the battle and buried under the rubble at the beginning of the battle, but she escaped her life by mistake.

However, her eyes were gloomy and loveless. Maybe it would be better for her to die.

"What do you have to do with that guy? Prototype, or maker? ”

It was clearly carved out of a mold, and unless you were blind, you wouldn't be able to see that the girl in front of her had nothing to do with the puppet next to Edmond.

The girl was silent, or rather, because of the sadness of the past, her mind had long been confused and dull, and she had not been able to react at all.

Cang Zhen stared at her, and finally a flash of light flashed from the girl's eyes.

The girl's eyes gradually brightened, like a person who had fallen into the water grasping at a life-saving straw. Even if reason told her that the straw would not save her life at all, instinct still prompted people to die and hold the straw in their hands.

"You're still alive? You're still alive! Yes, that's it, yes, only you can do it...... I also had a chance to make amends for my mistakes. Please, only you can, don't rely on the power of the puppet, and defeat the Black Prince. ”

The moment before being swept away by the aftermath of the battle, Cang Zhen showed amazing combat power in her eyes, almost single-handedly suppressing the puppets in the city.

In the face of the power of the "absolute kingship", no matter how many puppets there are, they will only replenish the opponent's troops, and what she needs is precisely a magician who can still have strong strength without the puppets.

Relying on human power to defeat the top puppets, as a puppet master, she must have scoffed at such a statement before. But now, that was really the only hope that could save her and allow her to atone for her sins.

"Down with the Black Prince, I won't do it without you saying it. I remember who you are! Ionella Arianti, the genius puppeteer. So, the dolls around Edmond are your masterpieces? ”

Cang Zhen clasped his arms and looked at the girl in front of him with a sneer.

A puppet who created a magic circuit with the power of "domination" is really a genius that is rare to see in a thousand years, and he touches the power of the taboo.

It's a pity, didn't anyone tell her? The fate of mortals who touch the forbidden has not been good since ancient times.

"Yes, I am responsible for all these disasters. It was I who was too naïve, believed the other party without suspicion, and personally handed over Pandora's box to the dangerous elements. It doesn't matter if you hit me or if you want to kill me, I'm willing to accept any punishment. ”

"But, but, please give me a chance to make amends!"

The proud genius girl bowed her head, tears blurring her cheeks, and wept and made a plea.

"Hmm......"

Cang Zhen held his chin and looked down, indifferently looking down at the girl in front of him, thinking about the other party's request.

Regardless of whether Ionirati asks or not, Cang Zhen will never let go of the black prince and the puppet girl beside him. Those who have violated the taboo must be punished with death. Ionella's plea was largely meaningless.

"Let's make a deal, let's make an agreement, make a contract."

"It's up to me to defeat the reckless Highness and take back the puppet beside him; Sell your soul to me. ”

A gifted puppeteer, her soul is priceless.

If you can make a doll from this material, then Cang Zhen will get a puppet master.

"If there is no objection, write your name in your blood on this piece of parchment."

Looking directly into the girl's crying and swollen eyes, Cangzhen handed out the contract document with red letters on a black background.

Ominous black and scarlet of blood, the entire parchment looks like a pact with the legendary devil.

Ionella took the contract document and read every word on it. Although it is an unfamiliar text, due to some unknown power, she can understand what is written on it.

Miraculously, Ionella did not have the slightest suspicion, and she did not hesitate to believe in the inviolability of this contract.

Whether it is her or the other party, once the contract is established, then no one can escape.

"Selling your soul sounds like a demonic temptation. However, for a sinful fellow like me, I guess I should go to hell. ”

With that, Ionella dipped her fingers in the blood that flowed from her arm and meticulously wrote her name in the lower right corner of the contract document.

The parchment burned into flames in Ionella's hands, but she didn't feel the heat at all.

The contract is formed.

Having sold her soul and never looking back, Ionella stared up at Cangzhen, it was time for the other party to fulfill her duty.
