Loren was taken aback.

The moment Isaac's words fell, the sound of hot water churning suddenly sounded in the empty colonnaded palace, and the originally cold air seemed to have become a little stagnant and viscous.

No, it's not really......

The black-haired wizard still frowned, staring in the direction of the door.

In the next moment, a puddle of gray-blue liquid like pus boiled and surged, and appeared very abruptly at the end of the Colonnaded Palace.

The boiling pus was still tumbling, and the creepy sound kept coming from the empty colonnaded palace.

The moment he saw the pus, the strong feeling of vomiting made the gray-eyed boy cover his mouth violently, but Isaac just stared blankly at the scene in front of him, as if he had been completely frightened, and there seemed to be some inexplicable fear in his expression.

The terrible sound of the wind whistled, cold and biting, and in the blink of an eye, the entire palace fell into darkness.

A slow, creaking sound came from behind them, and the three of them, almost instinctively, looked back at the same time—the gate they had passed through was closing little by little.

"Bang ——!"

The heavy closing of the door broke the dead silence and completely cut off their retreat.

At this moment, a hand suddenly stretched out from the puddle of pus, and pressed the ground with all his might, desperately "crawling" out of the pus like a drowning person.

That's like... It's a person.

With their eyes wide, the three of them looked at the scene in front of them with different faces—the "figure" covered with gray-blue pus, struggling to crawl out of it.

The arms, followed by the head, shoulders, and upper body...... The boiling pus seemed to be very reluctant to let go of it, but in the face of the power of the "man", it had to gradually succumb and be gradually freed from the shackles.

It was a rather tall figure, almost completely encased in a bronze-colored mottled armor from head to toe, and it was impossible to even make out the other person's face.

The burly figure fell to one knee and plunged his right hand into the boiling pus once more, and slowly, with great difficulty, pulled out a very large, gaped and rusted two-handed sword that was nearly a man high!

The moment he saw the big sword, Loren's gaze froze slightly.

“...... Is there really such a people in this world, such a strong warrior, who can hunt dragons with a man-high sword and a javelin three meters long and thick arms......

The words that Brandon had once said suddenly echoed in his ears, and the expression of the black-haired wizard was hard to see.

A burly body, a body of armor that covers the whole body, and a large sword that is one person high......

I was really unlucky to meet the legendary dragon hunter in Nidhogg a thousand years later!

"That's... What's that?!"

Dumbfounded, Lusen pointed to the figure in front of him with a one-handed big sword, his silver-gray pupils with an incredible color:

"Enemies?!"

"That's right, it's just like what Isaac just said, the story in the third-rate knights......" clenched his teeth, and the corners of the black-haired wizard's eyes revealed a trace of solemnity and unease:

"Standing in the way of the final treasure and the level... Watch dogs. ”

When the words fell, the burly figure turned his head suddenly, and the three people who were suddenly stared at subconsciously took half a step back!

"Anyway... If we can have a good chat with it, explain a little bit, show some kindness or something. The trembling Isaac was already earthy, and his pale face was covered with sweat:

"Do you think it's possible ......?"

Before he could finish speaking, the dragon hunter suddenly raised his sword and pounced——!

"Boom ——!"

The bronze-colored mottled greatsword slammed down, and the collapsed floor masonry and surrounding reliefs all turned into pieces, and the entire palace trembled!

The smoke cleared, and the dragon hunter who missed the blow suddenly turned his head to look at the three people who had been hiding to the side, and the powerful mottled greatsword was once again held by it with one hand, and the cold blade was erected high like an executioner's execution table.

"Well... I guess there's no possibility of peace talks, right?"

"That's right. The black-haired wizard said coldly, the gray-blue sword mang's hands were raised in front of him: "The deadly negotiation is over......

Now it's time to fight!"

At this moment, a silver light crossed Loren's eyes...... Forced to composure, Lus'en held the two of them behind his thin figure, his silver-gray pupils staring at the dragon hunter's figure.

"It's an impudent request, but... Lord Loren, please hand over this enemy to me. The gray-eyed boy gasped slightly, but the sword in his hand did not move:

"The Dragonlord's Tower is already close at hand, you can't be preempted by that Phanesis!"

"You ......" Isaac was stunned for a moment, then roared rather angrily, "Lusen, what are you doing?!"

"What a 'wizard guard' should do, and that's the only thing I can do. Lu Sien didn't look back, and said lightly:

"I should have been dead when I was at the Broken Mountain Fortress, Isaac. ”

Isaac froze, looking at the friend he thought he knew, a precocious imp like himself.

"Your Excellency Loren. ”

"Huh?"

"You once asked me what I was here with you for, and what was the point. The gray-eyed boy's voice gradually calmed down, and he could no longer hear the wheezing: "I think, I can tell you the answer now." ”

The answer is simple, there is no why. ”

The black-haired wizard raised an eyebrow and was silent.

"I, Lusen, bastard son of the House of Wirtz, swear allegiance to you in my blood, and by blood I swear that I owe you my life, and that I am an Elemand, and an Elemish man does what he says!"

"I'll stop this watchdog, Lord Loren, and Isaac before Farnesis gets to the Dragonlord's Tower—that's my plan. ”

"Please let me, a worthless 'wizard guard', open the way to the Dragon King's Tower for you!"

Loren didn't speak, glancing at Isaac beside him, only to see that this guy was also looking at him.

After only a moment of hesitation, the black-haired wizard put Isaac behind him, silently glanced at the back of the gray-eyed boy, and said solemnly:

"May the void be with you——!"

Lu Sien, who looked resolute, slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, and shook the sword flower slightly, the tip of the sword hanging down to his ankle.

In the next second, the gray-blue afterimage disappeared from the spot and rushed towards the gate of the Pillared Palace!

The sudden sound caused the dragon hunter to jerk back, and immediately noticed the figure that was "running away", brandishing a mottled sword and lunging at it.

Behind him, there was a continuous roar of sharp blades breaking through the wind, and the expressionless Loren didn't look back at all, and ran straight towards the closed door.

"Bang ——!"

The great sword struck one side of the pillar, and the entire column collapsed between the falling rubble.

The black-haired wizard who borrowed his strength from mid-air jumped up and dodged the second blow of the great sword.

The entire colonnaded palace trembled, and the gray-blue afterimage still did not stop, still running wildly between the pillars without concealment.

That's right, there's no need to dodge, there's no need to stop, just rush straight through, just go straight ahead!

The gate is just around the corner!

"Turin Fire ——!"

With Loren's roar, the golden-red "meteor" hit the gate of the palace with unmistakable accuracy.

"Boom ——!"

A shattering roar echoed through the pillars of the palace, and between the golden-red flames and billowing smoke, a beam of sunlight poured in from the center of the shattered gate.

"Now, rush over it——!" Isaac cried out as he hugged Loren's back tightly.

The dragon hunter who was chasing behind him suddenly stopped, and half-knelt on the spot as if he was physically exhausted, and the great sword was on his shoulder.

Next, the burly figure leaped up violently and flew into the air like a cannonball!

As the gray-blue afterimage was about to reach the gate, the dragon hunter who had fallen rapidly from the sky raised his great sword and fell into the air with a scream that tore through the air.

"Got you!"

At this moment, another figure suddenly appeared above the dragon hunter's head, and a flash of silver light slashed head-on!

"Boom ——!!!!"

Between the splashes of earth and rocks, the two figures fell to the floor almost simultaneously, and the smoke and dust were everywhere, and Lusen, who was coughing in succession, struggled to get up, and under the tips of his dark blue hair was a pair of eyes full of murderous intent:

"Are you ready for another round......

Watch Dogs?!
