Chapter 147 Keeping Promises, Good Fitch
"The first time I encountered the Cult of Destruction and Rebirth was last year, when they attacked the Ice Peak Fortress and I discovered it, and then they fought. They brought with them a blueprint for the transformation of the circle, which contained many runes formed by demonic words, and applied a particularly chaotic spell system. Feige pouted and stood at the front of the crowd, blocking Mackintosh behind. "The demon's mind is confused, so they also brought a spell item to help understand the demon's runes. With so much demonic stuff, I take it for granted that the Sect of Destruction and Rebirth is a demonic organization. ”
Chitana looked at Feiqi and smiled without speaking, just gently stroking the crystal cluster with her hand.
"At that time, I wondered how the Destruction Rebirth Sect knew about the design of the magic circle of the Ice Peak Fortress? This kind of information can only be archived in the Holy Body Sect, which is responsible for managing the fortress group, and there must be a person who is proficient in the magic circle to do research. Isn't that right, Chitana?"
"Well, you go on, I'd love to hear about your reasoning. Chitana smiled fearlessly and said, "I'd like to see if there will be a second smart person in the Goddess's Church besides Mackintosh." Only beating the wise can make me happy!"
"You're such a pervert, my best hope is that the enemy is stupid. Well, I've been thinking about the people who destroyed the Reborn Sect, so I've been studying these circles as well. But the demon's runes are too unstable, and my progress has been poor. Now that I think about it, the devil's clue was completely misleading. If a person who cooperates with demons can infiltrate the upper echelons of the Goddess of Truth and Thunder and gain access to the Holy Body Sect's defensive spell archive, then simply dissolve the church!"
"On the way, I asked and kept thinking about the question for Archbishop Mackintosh: Chitana, how do you maintain your ability to cast spells. I thought about it and thought about it, and ruled out many ways, leaving only the possibility that you might have another faith. A source of belief that is similar to a goddess, but with some differences, gives you magical powers. It can't be some demon, the gap is too big, and the Sacred Heart is not an ornament. I can only think of one for the time being: the Creator. ”
"The god of creation, the god of craftsmen and furnaces, the god of inspiration, the god of birth and death. Chitana had a frenzied expression on her face, and her body gasped violently. "The only god in the world who can be called great!"
Mackintosh coughed violently, spat a mouthful of blood on the ground, and then said in a sad and angry tone, "Is this possible? The goddess is the only administrator of the world, and all magic must pass through her!"
Not really. Although he is seriously biased, Feige can also perform magic skills. He also had this experience to make the inference that Chitana was a believer in the Creator.
"Of course not. Chitana smiled and said: "The goddess is the administrator of this world, but this world was not created by her, to put it bluntly, she is just one of the users, and we are not also users and beneficiaries? Are you right, Feige?"
"Yes, yes, that makes sense. Feige nodded vigorously, then took a light step forward. His eyes had been staring at the crystal cluster, but he saw that the corners of Qitana's eyes twitched slightly from a global perspective, and his heart was a little more determined. "After I know that you are a believer in the Creator......"
"You said it too fast, how did you know for sure, just guessing?"
"Oh, of course not all. Originally, the appearance of the demon ant colony shook my suspicions, but after seeing the spell rune array that closed here, my train of thought was back on track. To put it simply, you've used too many Creator Runes and no Demon Runes at all. I guess even for you, demonic runes are hard to understand, right?"
Chitana nodded, "Only the demon's chaotic mind can comprehend the demon's chaotic runes. I'm just barely able to use it with the help of tools. ”
"That's right. The demonic tendencies of the Cult of Destruction and Rebirth are just a trick, isn't it?" Feige let out a long sigh of relief and walked to the edge of the digging pit in the middle of the house, next to the pile of broken digging tools. "You don't mind if I look at these things, do you? In the whole house, maybe only these broken tools can cause damage in the pit normally, right?
Chitana's face changed, and she became hideous and vicious. She slid her three fingers over the crystal cluster, grabbing a cloud of gelatinous material from it. Crystal looked a little shorter, and Kitana became a little more mature. "Feiqi, your fate has been decided, and the order given to you is: Run!"
Rainbow rays hit Feige, who greeted it with his arms outstretched and his head held high. Then, stunned, he turned and ran backwards three steps, then stopped—in the midst of everyone's gap-open mouths, he stopped, turned around, and walked slowly back to his place.
"It's a funny spell, giving me an order that must be done, kind of like a contract for me to force it to obey. Feige pounded his chest with his fist and burped before he said, "It's a pity that I ate too quickly just now, and I didn't taste it, so you want to put another one at me?"
"You bastard!" Chitana grabbed the crystal cluster again, aged a little, and then shot at Feige with a rainbow of light: "Order for you: Die!"
Feige froze, then blinked, nothing happened. He smiled, picked up a tattered and half-handled-weight pickaxe from the ground, put it in his hand, and aimed his eyes in the direction of the crystal clusters. "Chitana, I'm running out of time for you—you know what I'm talking about. ”
"Don't you think you're smart? The command given to you is: Foolish!"
Feige's expression was a little longer in a daze, but he still blinked and returned to normal. "You can keep trying, but I can tell you for sure, it's useless. Feige tapped the ground with his pickaxe and said, "Keep trying, you'll consume more of the crystal's energy, and I'm definitely not going to summon divine power or use magic on it, so you're going to lose a lot." And, with these broken tools, I can break the magic circle hidden beneath my feet until I can get close to you. Yes, there's a magic circle hidden here, and I can see it!I have other guesses, like you can't use magic next to the crystal, can you?, and the rest of the battle is a battle between a tournament champion, a monster hunter, a royal earl's level dueling expert, and an unarmed priest. You look young, but have you regained your skills? How long has it been since you exercised? Why don't I play a gentlemanly style and let's duel outside?"
"So, you want to fight me outside?"
"Yes. You've hidden the circle very well with illusions, and it's a bit risky to crack it, after all, you're still messing around, and I'm not 100% sure. And I think you're well aware of the situation: once I'm in the circle, neither you nor I can use spells, and I'm going to win. Therefore, you face this choice the same: whether to slowly fight for luck and wait for death, or to fight vigorously. ”
"I don't believe you can see through my magic circle, you're lying to me!" Qitana smiled coldly, but at the same time, a cold sweat broke out.
"Well, how about we make a deal? I tell me what you're going to do with this circle, and you can come out and fight me. The two of us are one-on-one, and others can't interfere until the winner is decided. Oh, I want to take credit for that from you so badly. Do you know what Mackintosh promised me? I will be the presiding priest of the fortress if I come to participate in the capture, and you can imagine that the paladins and the inquisitors have fallen, and the archbishop has fallen, and I will take you with my own hands. What does that mean? I'm the Goddess's hand-picked Saint, and I'll be the Chief Sorcering Bishop!"
"Then I really should break your dreams right now and make the goddess lose her help. Chitana looked at Mackintosh, the expression he deserved to be, and it stung Chitana deeply. "I am the strongest person in the Goddess Church in terms of runes and magic circles, and I am the number one in spells!"
"You know how much I want and love all kinds of titles, firsts. Fei Qi smiled and said, "Come on, Spell First, come out and give me this name!"
"Answer my two questions, and I'll go out and fight you one-on-one!" Qitana said, "This circle...... No, this question is not important. First question, how did you resist the Word command?"
"As long as the mind is flexible enough and full of skepticism, you can resist command spells. A single word can never express the meaning of perfection. For example, I have been dying, and this process has never stopped, doesn't it mean that you let me die mean that I haven't said it? For example, I have escaped, but I can still kill again, this is not a contradiction. Foolishness is harder to resist, after all, I think I'm smart. But a wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts, and I always have stupidity, just think about it. ”
"Do you hear that, Mackintosh?" Qitana stood up with the crystal crystal cluster, "Your priests are a bunch of fools, who listen and listen and listen all day long in the little circle of goddesses, their brains are rigid and dull, they have no hope! The soul should be as fierce and lively as a flame! It is you who sentenced them to death!"
"Let's ask the second question. Feige tossed the pickaxe to Shani and motioned for them to move to the side.
"Second question: When you try to attack for the first time in a duel for a while, where will the fatal flaw be revealed?"
Feiqi froze, and Qitana laughed, "Don't you dare to answer? Are you still going to lie to me? Feiqi, are you afraid?"
"I didn't expect you to ask such a question. Feiqi thought for a moment, and then said, "Since you are very worried that I will deceive you, then it is fine." Whoever defaults and who dies, how?"
"I'll just wait for your words!" Chitana slapped the crystal, and a rainbow of light hit her and Feige. "It's a contract of God, it's very expensive but powerful! You answer the question, and then I'll have a one-on-one duel with you! You have to act according to the answer and expose the fatal flaw in front of me. I'll use this opportunity to kill you, Feige!"
"Don't promise her!" Benny shouted, "She's at the end of her rope, Xia Ni and I can kill her, and we don't need you to do it!"
"No, I find this contract interesting. Fei Qi nodded unexpectedly: "I promise this contract of life and death, whoever violates it will die." I'll tell you about my offensive moves now after the duel starts, and then my flaw is at the throat position, because when I cast the Qi Elemental Rope, the gesture will expose the defenses there. You have a window of about two seconds to attack this flaw. If you miss it, it's not my violation. ”
"Of course. If I can't kill you in such a one-on-one duel, then I'll die. Chitana smiled and said, "What if you don't expose your weaknesses the way you say you're going to do it?"
"Then I'll die. Simple, isn't it?" Feige made a gesture of please, and asked the others to stand a little farther away. Especially Mackintosh. Feige made several gestures and instructed Shani to cover the bishop with a large shield to avoid being swept up in the battle. "Chitana, if you win, there's no second person here who can read your illusion defense rune, and you can keep going, right?"
"That dragon out there is a headache. But with Mackintosh here as a hostage, I can hold on. Chitana pulled a dagger out of her sleeve and dragged the blade to lengthen it into a folding rapier. This weapon will be finished after not being used on the battlefield a few times, but it will be useful in duels. A single stab in a specific place, such as the throat, can kill a person.
"You're crazy, you're all crazy!" McIntosh shouted as he vomited blood, but Bennie couldn't do anything else to hold him down. With tears in her eyes and biting her lip, the girl seemed to be convincing herself as she was speaking to the archbishop: "Believe in Feige, he will win, believe in him." ”
"How can he win?" said Mackintosh, who was blocked by the shield and could not see the battlefield, became even more angry. "Feiqi, Qitana made a contract with the Divine Language, this is not a word or two, your method of getting rid of it is useless! Don't be smart and hurt yourself!"
"I knew it was a contract, and I didn't even think about breaking it, because it was sacred. Still confident, Feige cleared his throat and pulled his collar a little wider, exposing his throat entirely. "The word of God, the words spoken are rules and fate, what a powerful power this is!
"This is the legacy of the creator, the legacy of the Creator, and the tinder!" Qitana walked around the crystal crystal cluster two and a half times with strange steps, twisting and turning, up and down, and finally crawled out of the digging pit and came to Feiqi.
"Backwards and retreats a little? How can two people stand at the beginning of a duel without being able to stand two meters? At least five meters away, this is the rule. You don't want to break the rules, do you?"
"Of course not, it has to be a duel. Chitana glanced at the crystal clusters, then took three steps back and said, "Is this okay?"
"Okay. Feige picked up a stone from the ground and said, "I'll throw it up in a moment, and when it hits the ground, the duel begins, what do you think of this method?"
"Well, it circumvents the possibility of other people getting involved. You seem to know the rules of the contract!"
"I know more than you think. Feige held the stone in his left hand and threw it lightly upward, while his right hand, which was holding the staff, stretched outward, completely exposing the entire frontal defense from the throat to the thigh, all flawed, all critical.
The stones snapped to the ground and the duel began.
"Qi Elemental Rope!" he began to cast a spell while raising his head to expose his throat, and followed suit, "I admit defeat in the duel, you won." "That's less than a tenth of a second.
It was also the moment when the stone snapped to the ground, and Chitana raised her sword and rushed forward. When she took her first step, she was delighted to see that Feige was casting a spell, and her throat was full of holes. Before she could take the second step, Feige had already declared herself a duel. By the time this step falls, the duel is over. Even if Feige continued to maintain the action of exposing the vital flaw in his throat, the duel was over......
Chitana wins the duel, but she fails to kill Feige in the duel. According to the contract, Feige fulfilled his promise, but Kitana did not - she said she would kill Feige in such a duel. Feige didn't die, she was going to die.
She spurted a mouthful of blood as she took the third step. The fourth step—when she could stab Fitch with half a step or a step—exploded in one of her eyeballs, and the nails of her feet and a few front teeth flew out with blood.
"I'm dying, I've fulfilled my contract!" she roared with Feige's logic, insisting on stabbing the sword. Because she knew that Feige must expose his throat for more than two seconds, this is the rule of the contract, and if he doesn't want to die, he can't break it. As long as she stabs down and kills Feiqi, then she still has a chance to return to the pit and heal herself with the divine energy stored in the crystal crystals.
She began to lean forward, and then she saw a figure pounce on her. Xia Ni was wearing a veil and couldn't see the expression on her face, but anger was written in her fists. She punched Bennie in her position, first crooked her hand holding the sword, and then slammed herself into Kitana, pushing her against the black rock wall. "Bennie, come and suppress her!" Shani began to shout.
"Ahh "The archbishop wouldn't die so easily anyway......" she reassured herself as she rushed forward.
Feige still stood in a "big" shape, silently counting for three seconds before changing his position. "Hehe, I knew Xani understood what I meant. ”
"I saw your gesture to make me pay attention to the midnight movement, right? It arched its back in preparation, and then scratched at Chitana with its claws exposed, didn't that mean for me to attack?"
"Yes, exactly. Fitch pointed at Chitana and said, "Find a rope to tie her, search her for the emblem or anything like that, and throw it aside." Well...... It's best to break her knees, remove her shoulders, and keep her from approaching the crystal clusters. ”
Chitana glared at Feige with the only remaining intact eye, dropping her teeth, and shouting, "Are you still the priest of the Goddess of Truth and Thunder?what about your mercy?what about your goodness?you despicable liar!"
"It's so sad to say I'm a liar, everything I do is in accordance with the contract. And if you don't kill me in a duel, you're not going to say it yourself—I'm not asking you to say it. ”
"You are the one who tempted and encouraged me to say such things, and this is a trap you have set! You just want to lure me out and kill me......! But I'm not going to die, I'm not going to really die!"
"I don't really care if you're dead or alive. Feige looked at Beni, who was pointing to Chitana's knee and looking at her inquiringly. "What are you waiting for? She's still dangerous. Let's do it!"
"Feige, you're going too far!" Mackintosh struggled to lift the large shield that was pressing on him, then sat up with his arms folded. "She's been defeated and taken prisoner, how can you abuse her?"
Feige waited for Benny to finish her work before nodding, "Well, that's right. He approached Kitana and crouched down about the same height as hers, looking at the beautiful black eyes. "Are you going to surrender, give up resistance, be honest and obedient and cooperate to be a prisoner of war, and if so, I can stop hurting you and treat you. ”
"Delusional!" Qi Tana looked at her broken body, which was still tied up by the Five Flowers, and watched the Holy Emblem of the Sect of Destruction and Rebirth that had been searched out and thrown into the distance, and all the hidden magical items were confiscated, and she knew that there was no hope of turning the tables around. "Feiqi, if you have the last mercy, then don't let me be insulted and interrogated by the inquisitors of the goddess! I lost to you without thought, but my pride remains! Give me a happy death, and I will tell you a secret!"
"Are you saying I'll kill you first, and then you'll tell me a secret? Aren't you playing tricks on me with this contract? If you really want to make such a contract, you might as well say I'll give you a good time, and then you tell me everything, that sounds more generous. ”
"Okay! hahaha, ...... anyway"
Before Chitana could finish her words, Feiqi suddenly had a red crystal dagger in her hand, which instantly plunged into the top of her head and disappeared into her head. Suddenly, with one hit, and an instant solution, there is absolutely no pain. The powerful priest's soul is immediately sent to Hell, and a Soul Contract is generated at the same time, and begins to take effect at the moment of Kitana's "death", temporarily protecting her soul from being directly absorbed by the Crystal of Hell - at least until Feige has obtained "enough secrets" before the soul continues to travel, that is, to be absorbed by the Soul Crystal.
If the soul had gone somewhere else, Feck's contract would not have been enforced, even if it had taken effect. But the Soul Harvester Dagger is guaranteed to send the souls of the dead to hell, and hell will certainly protect the Devil's contractual interests. Even the Creator wouldn't have gone to the depths of Hell to find the soul of this loser, would he?
Feige put away the Soul Harvest Dagger and hid it back inside his body. Xia Ni couldn't see his expression for his sudden shot just now, but Beni secretly licked the corners of her mouth, her eyes lit up, and she looked very excited. She felt that the six-armed snake demon bloodline in her body was about to move just now, but it didn't seem to be a bad kind of "movement", but more like a "good" budding.
"Alright, it's not dangerous for the time being, let's take a look at the archbishop's injury. Feige clapped his hands with a "finish the job" expression.
