Feel the sound of breathing and heartbeat ringing in your ears, the vibration of the ground... The elven girl's face sank like water.

Although he did not fight these enemies, just from the sound of his uniform footsteps and orderly echelons, he could tell that the opponent was definitely a very good samurai.

Moreover, there are a hundred of them.

Fooled yourself.

Maybe it was a coincidence, maybe it was premeditated by the other party, but there was no doubt that the moment Duke Byrne appeared, his ambush had already begun to prepare, and he had been delaying time to wait for the moment when everyone arrived.

The other party has fought against Middlel before, and if it is true that Middlel died at his hands as the other party said... Being able to defeat the scheming, despicable and shameless second seat of the Imperial Court is enough to prove that Duke Byrne is not under Middel.

Really, didn't the information that Middel got say that Byrne was a country of knights, and the lords here were all the people who valued the honor and spirit of the samurai the most in the Human Empire, and were the most enthusiastic about dueling?

Well?

The elf girl raised her head in surprise, and the sound of approaching footsteps around her began to move backwards in an orderly manner, but she could still feel the thick murderous aura on their bodies, as well as the cold and piercing gaze;

Circumnavigating herself with a radius of twenty paces reminded the elven girl of the prison used in the Kingdom of the Azores to hold samurai, death row prisoners, and the royal family.

With such fanfare, it was intended to ......

“...... Captured alive?"

On the opposite side of the elf girl, the black-haired wizard's playful voice sounded again: "Otherwise, what else could it be?"

The elf girl who bowed her head just silently raised her long knife and held the handle of the knife in her right hand.

Silent.

The other party is just using similar tactics as Middlel to disrupt his own thinking, as long as he ......

"As long as you don't listen to a word, don't say a word, this despicable tactic is useless to you, and he will naturally give up......" Sticking the "Dawn" sword in his right hand on the ground, Loren, who chuckled, caught the "dragon teeth" thrown over from the hands of the little wizard who came in a hurry:

"You don't need to answer, everything you want to say is written on your face, Miss Lori Zade. ”

The elven girl didn't answer, but lowered her head a little deeper.

Just let him say it, just kill him.

"That's right, anyway, his goal is to capture himself alive, anyway, he still has a killer weapon that can kill him with one blow, anyway, as long as he wants to escape, he can't stop himself. The black-haired wizard continued to "intensify", and the "dragon teeth" in his hand shook a spear:

"Just let him say, let him continue to say this, sooner or later he will show flaws... The flaw that can make a fatal blow to yourself, huh?"

The elven girl with her head bowed continued to be silent, but her right hand holding the sword burst into green tendons.

Restraint, restraint ... He is the chief of the palace under the throne of the eagle, and he ......

"So I'm really curious, Miss Lori Zade, where do you get your confidence?"

"Your friend Middell is dead, his Shadow Sword has become my trophy, his intrigues have been torn apart by me, and the information he has hidden in his heart has been dug out of his mouth one by one... Well, one by one. ”

"See, it's no surprise that you're here tonight, and it's no coincidence to me, we've known you're here for a long time - so I've only got two witchers outside the palace gates, so you're going all the way unimpeded, well, like a rabbit attracted by carrots, step by step into the ...... I've set up."

"Shut up! Shut down, stop talk, stop ......"

There was a trembling cry in the childish scream.

In an instant, the figure of the elven girl disappeared from the sight of the black-haired wizard.

So fast!

The instinctive tensity of his body warns him that danger is rapidly approaching.

"Boom ——!"

Suddenly, the stalagmite that was blocking the girl's face was stabbed from the floor, and was instantly shattered by the sharp blade, and the blade that was almost approaching at the same time flashed in front of the black-haired wizard who could dodge like a trace, and the tips of the hairs that were shaved disappeared without a trace.

The first knife has just been cut off, and the second knife is already in front of you.

That's too fast!

Syllable!

The whizzing arrow slammed into the end of the hilt of the long knife with extreme precision, causing a slight deviation in the direction of the slash.

The angry elf girl didn't notice this suddenness.

The black-haired wizard who gritted his teeth immediately seized the opportunity and grabbed the "dragon teeth" at the last second.

"Bell ——!"

Burst into flames.

The tip of the spear gushed out with gray-blue "flames", which was five inches in front of the neck.

It's just a fraction of a centimeter.

"Loren?!"

From behind the human wall came the exclamation of a small wizard.

"Don't worry!"

Gritting his teeth and holding on to the strength from the tip of the spear, the black-haired wizard pretended to smile relaxedly: "This elf has come to me from thousands of miles away, so I have to communicate with her alone." ”

"That's hospitality, Miss Lori Zade, what do you say?"

"Die!"

The elf girl's reply was concise and clear, and the long knife stabbed sharply again.

She started to mess up.

Despite more than double the pressure just now, her knife had clearly lost its initial coolness, and her attacks had become monotonous thrusts and slashes.

It's a... A very simple little girl.

"Anyway... You really haven't thought about what I said before, not even the slightest?"

The tip of the spear was flicked, counteracting the stabbing blade, and Loren, who tried his best to dodge, did not forget to continue: "Obviously, you are the chief of the imperial court, and that middel guy is just a secondary. ”

"Then why did the Eagle King give him the task of rebelling against the elves of the Ancient Wood Forest, but the task of killing me was given to you?"

"Obviously, that cunning guy, his 'Shadow Folding Sword' is the most suitable knife for assassination, isn't it?"

"Or... In the eyes of the Eagle King, Middle's guy needs to be protected and important, and you, the chief of the court, are sacrificeable, insignificant... Just an outcast?"

"Die!"

The elf girl screamed in pain, the knife in her hand getting faster and faster, more and more fierce, desperate.

"Don't be angry, just talk about it, I don't know the truth. ”

Flashing the opponent's head-on knife, the black-haired wizard who flashed sideways put away the bright silver in his left hand, and pulled out the "Dawn" from the ground - a spear in his left hand and a big sword in his right hand, constantly distancing himself from the elf girl, and twisting and turning:

"Don't parry, it's just a possibility, maybe yes or maybe not... But didn't you really think that it was all a game set up by Middle?"

"Well, then again, if you, the chief of the Imperial Court, are unfortunately killed, which samurai will succeed you?"

"Could it be... It's a second seat in the Imperial Court, right?"

The figure of the elf girl shook suddenly, as if her heart had been hit hard, and her slightly distorted expression seemed to be enduring some great pain.

"Shut up! Shut up! Don't, don't say it again!"

There was already a cry in his voice: "Don't push me!"

"Forcing you?" Loren smiled even more happily: "Look at the hundred people around, and there are my troops outside the city, tens of thousands; You're an outcast sent to die, understand?!

Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot... You can't see it.

You're blind. ”

Loren smiled slightly.

"Ahhhh——!!!!h

Heart-rending screams rang out, the elven girl lowered her head, hunched over, her teeth clenched, her right arm trembling violently with the long knife in her sheath behind her back, and the green tendons on her neck and forehead were exposed to her blown-cut skin in the moonlight.

Obviously motionless, but the murderous aura emanating from the elf girl's body made the surrounding demon hunters take half a step back, and subconsciously pressed the hilt of the sword on the right shoulder.

Rusen, who tried to rush forward, was forcibly pressed, only to find that the person who stopped him was a small wizard who was also nervous to the point of fear.

Quite a terrible Void reaction... Even if her knife was still in its sheath, even if there was still a full five steps between the two sides, it gave the black-haired wizard the illusion that he had been cut in two.

Loren squinted his eyes and took a slight half-step back.

The other party has been mentally disturbed by his own stimulation and is about to lose his mind.

When people are stimulated, they can't help but want to show their more proud side and regain their self-confidence by "proving".

If people are like this, elves should be similar.

So Your Excellency Lori Zade, don't hesitate or hesitate to show your proudest "way of the samurai" to your heart's content, let me have a good experience.

After all, with this, you will no longer have any hole cards to use.

I know how to clean you up.

"Lori... Under the Eagle Throne, the chief of the Imperial Court;" The elven girl who gritted her teeth bowed her head and whispered:

"Lori's predecessors are all samurai with noble character and a hundred enemies;"

"Crooked people... I have no qualifications to covet this position!"

"So... Lori's 'Way of the Samurai' is also the simplest one in the 'Four Courts'. ”

"There are no crooked ways, no poisoning and bloodletting, no self-improvement... It's just 'chop';"

"Lori's knife only needs to accomplish this mission. ”

"Within three feet, everything is cut off. The elf girl raised her head slowly, obviously wearing an eye patch, but it made people feel that she was staring at her:

"Heart-splitting... It's Lori's samurai way. ”

The voice fell.

Before the black-haired wizard could react, the figure of the elven girl had disappeared from his eyes again.

Murderous!

Loren's heartstrings tightened, and he felt a strong wind hit him right in the middle of his chest.

At that moment, he no longer had time to "tease" the girl, and while his right hand set up the big sword, the "dragon tooth" in his left hand had already swept in front of him.

"Bell ——!"

Loren only felt a shock in his hand, and the dragon tooth in his left hand suddenly became lighter.

No, it's not lighter.

It's the tip of the gun that has been cut off!

The black-haired wizard, who didn't have time to retreat, abandoned the gun in his left hand without hesitation, and dragged the "Dawn" sword sideways to dodge.

But the elf girl didn't give him this chance, and once again withdrew the knife in its sheath, and it was already shining silver again.

Loren made a backhand "Force Impact" in an attempt to push back the girl's attack.

"Bang ——!"

In the furious loud noise, the elf girl deftly dodged the vital point, and the roaring qi wave split in two in front of the long knife in her hand, and was torn apart from the middle!

The fiery blade swung towards his torso.

"Poof——!

The sturdy armor shattered in front of the shiny blade.

"Poof!"

The black-haired wizard with a pained expression fell to his knees, his face pale and cold sweat like rain, barely supporting his body with his big sword.

In the midst of the lightning and fire, the elf girl who had flashed behind Loren had slowly put her knife into the sheath, her face expressionless.

The winner is decided.

The elf girl thought faintly.

"Don't struggle, Lord Lord Byrne, you're dead. With her back to the black-haired wizard, the elf girl who finally regained her composure whispered:

"The result of the enemy who has been struck by the heart has been determined from the moment the blade touches him—even if it is only a light touch, even if it does not penetrate the body, as long as it is within three feet, it will surely die. ”

"Within three feet, everything is cut down... It is people's interpretation of their own samurai ways. ”

"Go in peace, as you said, I may not be able to leave your castle alive today; Huh?!"

The heavy "Dawn" greatsword smashed on her shoulder.

The thin delicate body trembled slightly, and the shock completely covered the elf girl's face.

"How, how can this be, you... You......

Why are you still alive?!"

Gasping for breath, the embarrassed black-haired wizard covered the wound on his chest and barely managed to squeeze out a smile.

"Surprised, nothing surprised. Loren's expression was calm: "If you could still stay calm just now, or if your eyes could still see, this trick probably wouldn't work." ”

The eye can see......

"A dream, a spell that is very strange, but very useful in special situations. Holding down the wound, the corners of the black-haired wizard's mouth twitched.

That's right, no matter how special the "way of the samurai" is, if it wants to play a role, it must rely on the power of the void;

And the characteristic of "Dream" is that it will indiscriminately shield the power of the void of everyone around him at the same time.

This trick was originally very useless against elven warriors - because these guys were skilled in swordsmanship, and as you could tell from Middel, they were very good at fighting in bad times or adversity;

Even if they are deprived of the "way of samurai", they are very terrifying opponents with swordsmanship and fighting instincts alone.

In the face of them, if they lose the power of the void, Loren will be an absolute disadvantage, not to mention that the "Dream of Ran" will block the vision itself, which will make them wary, and there is no suddenness at all.

But the only disadvantage is an "advantage" when facing Lori Zade, who has lost her mind at this time.

Because she can't see.

Looking at the elven girl's panicked appearance, Loren finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"O man who is in the dark and fearless of his enemies......"

"When you fall into the real darkness, you probably don't know it. ”
