835 Soul isolation, established choice
Bang!
A strong tremor echoed in the scene in the corner of the square, and Duan Qing's body suddenly flew diagonally along the revolving corridor in the corner of the square, and then after smashing a few small stone pillars used for decoration, it fell into the garden at the back. The swift black figure then swept across the front of the garden, blocking another magical attack with a black aura out of the garden, and Bernard's fist then led him to the center of the battle again, colliding with York, who had changed his appearance.
It seems that because of his deep understanding of the long-standing Imperial general, the fellow, who has faded to the status of an adjutant, is not at the slightest disadvantage in a one-on-one battle with Bernard.
"Your movements seem to have slowed down, Shogun! Was it because of my previous sword? ”
“…… I'll make you pay for what you've done, York. ”
"No, you can't, you can't do it at all...... You couldn't do it long before you were struck by my sword! ”
“……”
"Is that sword poisonous?"
Looking at the figure of Bernard rushing forward without saying a word to fight with the other party again, Duan Qing, who crawled out of the garden, gasped and guessed: "Is Bernard poisoned?" ”
"I've got some research into toxins and stuff like that, he ...... There doesn't seem to be any similar symptoms. Quietly appearing next to him, Maggie replied in a low voice, "But his strength really shouldn't be just that, the lieutenant you want to deal with...... It doesn't look as powerful as it seems. ”
"Either that guy used a poison you didn't recognize, or that guy used a trick other than toxin." So Duan Qing once again showed a thoughtful look: "Can you give us a detailed introduction to what happened after I passed out before?" Especially the part where Bernard was injured in the shoulder......"
“…… After that lieutenant slashed you with a sword, the general of the empire already wanted to intervene. Vigilant eyes kept roaming around the battlefield, Maggie hesitated and replied, "But that guy should have expected Bernard to make a move, and he was prepared early......
"That sword looks ...... Very similar to the sword in you. Speaking of this, her voice paused: "The blade became transparent when it slashed through the human body, and it passed through the middle in an instant, and the general seemed to know how powerful it was, so he slapped his palm on the shoulder......"
“…… Did he shoot it himself? ”
"That's right."
In the chaotic air flow from the center of the battle between the two people in front of him, Maggie's eyes showed a hint of admiration: "A sword wound then appeared on his shoulder, and a lot of black aura came out of it, and that guy just gritted his teeth and waited for those void breaths to pass, and then returned to normal under our gaze." ”
"That's right, like you look like now...... The soldiers were stunned. ”
As if noticing the look of shock in Duan Qing's eyes, she turned her head and curled the corners of her mouth: "Including me and Tristan who came to the rescue...... None of us expected the lieutenant to suddenly strike Bernard as he ran forward, so when his injuries erupted and the guards began to disarray, not many people could notice the whereabouts of the murderer. ”
"Then there was our move, and the siege of the 'rebels'." She pointed to the battle lines around her, which were still compressing: "It took a lot of effort for us to break through the center of the melee, but the situation here is still different from what we imagined......"
"Wait a minute, you're rushing in together?" Duan Qing, who was struggling to get up, suddenly realized a serious problem: "What about Tristan?" ”
Bang –
With another loud crash, the battle at the edge of the square not far in front of Duan Qing finally had a temporary result, and the Imperial General, who had been fighting alone with the enemy leader, staggered back and then appeared in the clearing near the side of the garden, along with the scattered aura that continued to fly backwards. As if he finally felt a trace of exhaustion, the imperial general who was standing with his hands hanging down beside him bowed down slightly, and only after a while did he regain his previous calm expression in the scene surrounded by several unknown people in the distance: "...... I see. ”
"You're not a fighter at all."
“…… It's too late to find out, General. ”
Waving his hand to let the men who came forward continue to complete their respective tasks of resisting the Empire's counterattack, York ripped off the military uniform that had been destroyed around him, and then revealed a layer of gray-white soft armor attached to the surface of his body, along with the magical aura attached to the soft armor: "The most powerful magician can not only use powerful magic, but also use the energy of magic to strengthen himself, although he has not made substantial changes in his muscles, but the effect of the simulation is still very impressive." ”
"The power of the wind element can make my speed faster, and the power of the fire element can make my explosive power stronger." He slapped his body vigorously, slapping all kinds of colorful colors out of the cracks in the soft armor: "And so on, a mage can do what the most powerful warrior can do, all it needs is enough magic power, and enough magic skills to support these energies......"
"You're actually a great mage who is proficient in the whole department?" So Bernard had a little surprise in his eyes: "It's impossible, even Wiggins, who lives in Tania......"
"Don't think this is some kind of high-end magic skill, this magic skill has been developed for a long time."
He was answered by York's still distorted and excited face, and once again raised his arms: "It's easy to learn this ......"
"All you need is to bow down at the knees of the Magic Empire, those ancient precious materials...... We can let you enjoy the day you died! ”
A piercing sharp grinding sound then appeared in the hand of the remnant of the Magic Empire in front of him, and on the long sword that looked no different from an ordinary blade, a faint sword aura then gradually took shape along the slash of the sword, and flew towards the direction where Bernard was. There was no longer a surprised expression on his face, and Bernard, who had regained his composure, then crossed his raised arms in front of his chest, and then after knocking the sword qi away with his fists, he incorporated the layer of black energy dragging behind the sword qi into his eyes: "No...... Wrong. ”
"You're not a magician." He assumed a defensive posture, once again blocking the whirlwind of those black straight lines out of the face door: "You are a weaver of fate? ”
"The answer is incorrect."
Putting away his exaggerated smile, a solemn expression gradually appeared on York's face: "The weaver of fate can only spy on the future of this world, and I ......"
"Will be the master of this world!"
The crackling thunder and lightning then gradually extended outward along the trajectory of those black aura dispersion, with tiny cracks torn open by the thunder and lightning appeared in front of everyone, and the strange darkness unique to the other world also increased with the increase of those sizzling cracks, and the corner of the battlefield near it was like a spider's web dyed into a pitch black that was difficult for the eye to see. Swinging two silver fists vigorously, Bernard, whose face became more solemn, then swept away the black energy that was about to affect him, but the footsteps that had been sticking to the place began to gradually retreat in the direction of Duan Qing as the threat of these void cracks getting closer and closer: "Don't get closer!" These void breaths will isolate the connection between the body and the soul! ”
"Isolate the connection between body and soul?"
There were screams from several Imperial soldiers who were affected, and Duan Qing, who followed up, hurriedly asked in a low voice, "What does that mean?" ”
"The power of the Void does not belong to our world, if it is too much of an influence...... People will start to become dysfunctional. Still warning the Imperial soldiers around them to retreat, Bernard explained in a low voice: "Weakness of the hands and feet, sluggishness, lethargy, emotional loss of control - if you are under the influence of the void for a long time, these symptoms will become worse, and finally lose control of the body, like a person who has lost his soul......"
"To put it simply, the attribute is down, and the final deduction is zero...... Hey, how does that sound like a curse? ”
A lewd figure in the Devil's Paradise flashed in his heart, and Duan Qing muttered to himself in a voice that only he could hear: "...... Very good. ”
"Dare to show the moves and problems described in words, there is nothing that we adventurers can't solve."
The whistling wind suddenly dispersed towards the front of the black fog area with his sudden action, and the figure with Duan Qing instantly disappeared into the space where he couldn't see his fingers, ignoring Bernard's warning behind him, and then let out a loud shout, turning into a brilliant white light and crashing into the direction where York was in his memory. Countless black aura with purple thunder and lightning then wrapped Duan Qing around with York's still loud laughter, and then separated to the two sides in the scene of the sudden burst of brilliant white light, as if the adventurer player in the eye of a typhoon immediately shook off the iron chains tied to his hands, and froze the adjutant's smile on his face with a punch: "Drink!" ”
"He, how did he ......"
"That's a relic left by my teacher."
In the exclamation of Bernard holding his shoulder, Maggie, who was lurking beside him, explained in a low voice: "The thing he called the cross, which has the effect of dispelling all magical effects, now seems ......"
"That thing was made for this moment."
The sound of breaking through the air burst forward with the sight of the woman in black disappearing in place again, and disappeared in front of Bernard's eyes with the surrounding air currents, and the black afterimage that was completely undetectable then passed through the sides of countless Imperial soldiers and rebels, and appeared around the body of York, who had just been knocked away. The black dagger then drew a dark arc in the air, intersecting with the long sword of the lieutenant who had forcibly twisted his body, but the same black aura extended forward through the injury caused by the fist mark that Duan Qing had just smashed, and finally hit York's right rib exposed by raising the sword.
"Shadow Raid!"
The same loud impact sound as when the fight began, then appeared in front of Duan Qing, who had just jumped out of the black fog, it was the sound made when Maggie, who had used the power of the dagger and the sword blade to fight back, turned around and kicked York to the ground, and the supple body of the woman in black then turned around in the air for the last half of a circle, and landed lightly on the ground of the square far away from the black fog. The loud sound of the floor tearing apart from each other in the direction of York's slide, accompanied by the glow of the magic shield as it took effect, but Maggie, who watched all this, did not give him a respite, and then the tiptoes of the ground brought up a cloud of dirt and rubble again: "No one can escape the Queen of the Night......"
"Not even fate."
Like a shattered eggshell, the tip of the dagger that suddenly appeared on the surface of the magic shield instantly poked the thick, colorful shield into pieces, and the black dagger surrounded by the heavy magical light then turned into an elongated phantom, sucking into York's chest as if it had encountered the light of a black hole. The gray-white hard soft armor didn't seem to have any protective effect, and the dagger was inserted into the adjutant's heart upside down, and Duan Qing, who arrived later, also pushed away a crumbling stone that had just flown past his cheek, and exhaled a long breath with some fear: "Damn, I'm afraid you're all hundred-level NPCs, right?" ”
"100-level ...... What the? ”
"Nothing, when I talk nonsense."
Looking at the figure of Bernard in the rear, who was still relying on his injured fists to single-handedly pick up countless enemies, Duan Qing waved his hand: "I just didn't expect it to be solved so easily." ”
"He just didn't expect you to be able to break through the blockade that tore through the space just now." Maggie raised her head: "If he is a little more defensive......"
"I may not be able to do it."
The round eyes appeared in Duan Qing and Maggie's faces looking at each other, because the last sentence came from the mouth of the adjutant lying on the ground, and he with a dagger in his heart then grabbed Maggie's right arm, which had not yet let go, and a hideous smile appeared on his face again: "What do you think the appearance of that pendant is?" Is it an accident that belongs to the thread of fate? ”
"Fate has long revealed it to me!"
Thick black qi gushed out from around the heart in his chest with his insolent laughter, completely enveloping Maggie's entire body in an instant: "And now......"
"It's time for me to explain why you're here!"
