Chapter 38: A Reunion of Fate

It was a crazy night, and the burning manor was the grand stage, and the whale-like airships cast pillars of light above the night, focusing everyone's eyes on the center of the chaos.

Lorenzo's flaming gallop, Eve and Seleu's desperate escape, and Arthur's deathmatch.

Countless events took place in the manor at the same time, not to mention the surging demons and the iron walls forged by soldiers.

This would be the biggest mistake in the history of the Purification Agency, a demon invasion broke out directly inside the old Dunling, and the location was still in this ball full of nobles, the blue jade in the Broken Dome repeatedly checked the map, but still did not find out where the demons came from, they seemed to suddenly appear there.

Fortunately, for the expansion of the Atrium Serpent System over the years, the reaction force of the Purification Mechanism arrived there as soon as possible, and under the blockade of the Guards, all the chaos was contained in the Salicado Manor.

All kinds of orders were sent downward, and even the mounted police of the Sualan Hall were dispatched urgently, and the iron whistle of the command echoed in the silent night, as if it were the wailing of a raven.

The area within a few kilometers of the center of the Salicado Manor has entered an emergency night, and in order to control the erosion of demons and concealment from the public, almost the entire scavenger department has been dispatched.

Everyone was busy dying, but in the burning sea of fire, the two deadly guys were still marching happily.

As the saying goes, men and women are not tired of working, and the combination of two women is devastating.

With Seleucus and Eve working hand in hand, the entire castle was plunged into a raging fire in the blink of an eye, and it was supposed that it would not have suffered this catastrophe, but under the effect of Eve's destruction of the sky, it was like a catastrophe.

The two of them are evil arsonists, and countless demons play the role of police to pursue them, of course, after catching up, there is no need for a judge to judge or anything, and they are all caught and executed on the spot.

Joy is joy, the two of them are actually panicked, Seleuc has no idea what the strange creatures are, and Eve is panicked because she knows what they are.

She has been locked up by the Duke of Phoenix since the Endtown operation, not to mention going to work at the police station, and even going out to see the scenery has to be followed, these days the Duke of Phoenix has found a group of teachers to teach Eve, not to teach anything, but how to be a good wife or something.

She didn't know why Duke Phoenix wanted to marry him off so much, as if he were a hot potato. Eve is not so easy to succumb, ostensibly a good student, secretly plotting several escapes, but unfortunately she was arrested before she could reach the train platform.

The blazing air was surging, and the demonic erosion was oppressing her spirit.

To be honest, Eve didn't know why she suddenly thought of this, maybe it was out of her own spiritual protection, thinking about something happy at this fateful moment, at least she wouldn't be so afraid.

But thinking about it this way, this time she really felt the arrival of death clearly.

Every time Eve faced a demon, she had a tough thug, such as Lorenzo, such as Kestrels, and at that time, she still had an aluminum rifle by her side, or a police station's gun.

But now there was only one Seleuc beside her, and this thin little girl didn't look very good at fighting, not to mention that her foot was still injured, and without Eve dragging her, the future Duchess of Stuart would have been executed on the spot by the demons.

It was also wearing some heavy armor, but this thing was not reliable at all, it was only used as decoration, just like the blade of the sword, which had no resistance to demons.

She began to feel a little sad, and the thread named Despair gradually captured her.

Humans and demons have spent countless hours in battle, and the terrible erosion is like a nightmare, and even the strongest will will be shaken under it, doubting themselves, and falling into the darkest darkness.

A person's strength is so powerless under this flood of death, every step is only a delay in the arrival of death, just like every previous encounter with demons, human beings have always been on the side of being hunted.

"You can put mine down. ”

A cold voice sounded, and Seleuc, who had been dragged away by Eve, said solemnly.

Eve shouted as she looked at the ice-cube girl, despair ignored.

"You're going to die!"

In Seleuc's state, as long as Eve let her go, she would be killed quickly, and there was no chance of survival.

But she saw it, and when she looked at the blue pupils, Eve's fear and despair were reflected in the sea of ice, and all the threads could not escape Seleuc's peeping.

Seleuc has magical eyes, like a strange psychiatrist, and all your thoughts and thoughts cannot escape her gaze.

"But if this continues, we're all going to die. ”

Seleuc's voice was calm, as if death didn't seem to her to be worth mentioning at all.

"How can you ...... So calm?"

Eve didn't understand why Seleuc didn't panic and was so calm about death in such a terrible situation.

"I'm just more sensible, if we continue like this, it's just that we will die together, and you still have a chance to escape!"

Seleuc advised that everyone was mortal, and that everyone was destined to die, only at the time of arrival.

"I am a lucky beggar, and if I had not been discovered, I would have died in Gaulinaro, which means that every day I live now is a gift of life, and in fact Seleu would have died on a winter night many years ago. ”

"If you think about it this way, there is nothing to be afraid of death, at most it is a little painful at first.

There was a rare smile on his cold face.

"Nice to meet you, Miss Eve Phoenix. ”

Eve looked at her in a daze, and for a while many strange things came to her mind, she wanted to say something but couldn't say it, and she didn't know how to express it.

Her confused eyes gradually hardened, and she grabbed Seleucus again, pulling the girl to run wildly.

"No, you can't die. ”

Eve gritted her teeth, she is a child of the Phoenix family, bleeding the blood of immortal birds, Eve's biggest dream is to appear in the Hall of Appearances, and walk side by side with the parents of the glory, she is destined to be glorious, but how can she bear that she can't save others.

It's not so much that she doesn't want Seleu to die, but it's that hellish pride drives Eve, she can't let Seleu die here, then it's like she's throwing in the towel of this damn life, she can't lose, absolutely can't.

"Get out of the way!"

Pulling up the chair on the side, Eve smashed directly at the demon blocking the road in front of her, and I don't know where this girl got so much strength, the chair made a fierce sound in the air, and then smashed heavily on the demon's face, the whole chair fell apart directly, and the impact smashed the demon backwards, and then Eve stepped on its head and jumped over.

They were about to escape from this terrible hell, but at that moment Eve's pace slowed down, and finally stopped where she was.

"I can buy you some time. ”

Seleucus held Eve, his injured foot slightly raised.

If Eve chooses to abandon Seleuc at this time, she still has hope of escaping, but Eve shakes her head.

"How long do you think you've got enough for them?"

Eve looked at Seleuc, trying to look more relaxed.

Not to mention the Seleuc, even if there is another team of soldiers, there will not be enough for these demons to eat, and it is better to die generously than to buy time.

They still couldn't escape, and just as they were about to reach the end, the demons surrounded them.

For some reason, these demons kept a relatively safe distance from the two of them from beginning to end, as if they were pursuing with a purpose, like hunters driving away their prey, and this must be their last encirclement.

The shadows were filled with the sound of sucking blood, and these hungry demons had long been unable to bear it, but it seemed that something was intimidating them, and they did not dare to move forward.

"It's like a dinner. ”

Seleuc said suddenly, his indifferent voice a little ethereal.

"What are you thinking?"

Eve looked at this girl who was a little off the line, what are you doing, we are going to be divided and eaten in the next second, but what dinner are you thinking about, you are the future Duchess of Stuart, are these people starving you?

Probably the reason for being influenced by Lorenzo, the more fatal the moment, the more Eve has a bit of a disconnected brain circuit, just like the detective who likes to perform craniotomy on his enemies while telling bad jokes.

Lorenzo once said that the reason why he did this was to alleviate the demon's erosion of the spirit, just like when you face thousands of troops, normal people will look up to the sky and shout "My life is over", and then obediently wait for death.

But if you shout "Have you eaten?" in the face of the thousands of troops, won't the terrible momentum be broken, so that you don't feel any fear in the face of thousands of troops, after all, the grand momentum has been destroyed by your sentence "Have you eaten?"

"Tonight is a dinner and we are the food on the table. ”

Seleuc's cold voice rang out, and the burning hell was reflected in her icy eyes, and she could always see through everything from a perspective that no one else could see, just like Madame van Loude was not fierce, she just longed for a family that could accompany her.

"Are those demons diners? I wish its mother had taught it not to play with food when it was eating. ”

Eve also simply squabbled with Seleuc, but apparently the two were not on the same channel at all.

"No, they're just wild dogs under the table, waiting for their owners to feed ......"

Seleuc looked at the sea of fire behind the demon, and his indifferent voice finally fluctuated a little.

"The real diners have just arrived. ”

So the demons got out of the way, and the man walked out slowly, with old white hair, obviously in hell, but with a peaceful smile on his face, his skin folded together, like a dead tree.

Dressed in a faded and torn red robe, like dried blood, the silver cross was hung in front of him, as if it had not appeared so solemnly for a long time, he looked a little unaccustomed, straightened his glasses, and finally slowly lifted the nail sword in his hand.

With his appearance, all the demons retreated, and the invisible pressure enveloped the hearts of Eve and Seleuc, it was an indescribable feeling, and the two of them couldn't help but retreat until they clung to the wall, and there was no way back.

"Hunting ...... Witcher. ”

Eve said with some trembling, she didn't know the man's share, but he had seen the sword, the same weapon as Lorenzo, a spiked sword plated with holy silver.

But what frightened her even more was that this time the mysterious witcher seemed to be in league with the demons, she had seen Lorenzo's terrifying power, and if they had a glimmer of hope for survival just now, then with the arrival of the man, this last glimmer of hope was also obscured by darkness.

But why? Why did the witcher stand with the demon, and why did the spiked sword with holy silver end up pointing at him.

"Whew...... Finally found you. ”

Lawrence said lightly, Horner did a good job, he attracted everyone's attention, and all the troops of the Purifier went towards him, and this place was not noticed.

Eve's expression almost froze, and she remembered the phrase, which came from the monsters she had seen when she had seen them, and that she had said the same thing to herself then, that they had found themselves.

"It looks like we need to swap roles. ”

Eve said ugly.

Lawrence's goal is himself, Seleuc doesn't need to wait here with him to die, but Seleuc shook his head, those demons are still watching in the shadow, no one can leave alive, although it is not clear what Lawrence's purpose is, judging from such a large scale tonight, the other party's purpose is himself or Eve.

There was no chance of survival for either of them.

Looking at Lawrence as Bī approached, Eve took a deep breath and seemed to calm down, and then said to Seleuc sincerely.

"It is a pleasure to meet you, Miss Seleuc Stuart. ”

Then Lawrence came, although his body was old, but there was secret blood flowing in his body, and the rising power dragged the mortal body to the forbidden place, so the dead blood became young again, swept the scarlet track, and went straight to Eve.

The sharp nail sword turned into blazing thunder, and the souls under the sword screamed to welcome Eve to join, and then grew in her eyes.

Death is near.

In that moment, memories spread across Eve's vision like shattered crystals, and the mirror of each fragment reflected Eve's past, from childhood to adulthood, from the first time he rode a horse to the first day he joined the police station.

For a moment, Eve seemed to understand the Duke of Phoenix's intentions, that the island that was her dowry would be her paradise, that the Duke of Phoenix would be the strongest shield to keep all dangers out, and that she would live happily in that paradise instead of dying here.

Duke Phoenix: Yes, she's just that this one is not very understandable, like a sweet candy, beautiful but Eve sometimes can't accept.

But suddenly, there was a sound of heavy footsteps, that is, someone was galloping towards here, with thousands of troops and horses.

Before there was time to think about who it was, a high-pitched voice sounded, accompanied by a thunderous roar.

As if aware of something, Eve instinctively hugged Seleucus next to her, and the next moment the entire wall shattered, and the black armor burned with blazing white fireworks, and he passed over the heads of the two like falling white stars.

Without the slightest pause, the Black Knight swung his heavy greatsword and hit the galloping Lawrence directly, like swinging a baseball, the scarlet shadow was knocked backwards, and then sank to the other end of the field of vision, submerging into the ruins.

The dust dissipated with the rising fireworks, and the craggy armor was like a pile of dry bones, and he breathed deeply, and with the ups and downs of the breath, the fireworks rose and fell in the cracks in the armor.

[Warning, the secret blood awakens 26%, and is about to reach the critical value.] 】

The Black Knight looked up in the direction of the ruins, clenched his flaming greatsword, and then let out a ghostly laugh from under his armor, as if celebrating this long-lost reunion.
