Chapter 3: The Stranger
The flames lit up all around, blood stained the ground, and the woman in white in front of her turned her back to Robin, raising a wand up in both hands.
At the same time, a light grew from her hands and gradually overflowed the whole world.
In the great light, Robin could barely hear anything, and the whole world disappeared.
Beneath his feet, a huge whirlpool swept him in, and the woman turned her head from the light and smiled at him.
Time suddenly freezes, and then the whole world goes dark.
"Whirring ......"
Robin sat up from the bed, gasping violently, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.
The whole back was soaked.
Outside, the silvery moonlight shone in, illuminating a corner of his bed, and illuminating the side of his face pale.
It's this dream again.
I don't know why, the same dreams, similar characters and scenes, always accompany him.
Ever since the car accident 16 years ago, he'd dreamed the same thing every time.
Unfortunately, he still hasn't seen the person in his dreams.
Thankfully, though, it's a dream.
But—he squinted at his feet.
Under his nose, a golden light was quickly forming a circle, just like the circle that Sun Wukong drew for Tang Seng.
Moreover, the aperture has no origin at all, and it looks as if it was generated out of thin air.
, what the hell is this?!
Robin's whole body exploded, and the whole person jumped up from the bed.
Even a fool realizes the weirdness of the current situation.
Robin, of course, couldn't sit still, and his first instinct was to get out of this strange circle quickly.
But—
The circle spawned at an astonishing rate, and just as he took the first step, a hollow white light suddenly formed in the center of the circle.
Robin's heart chuckled.
I don't know if it's gravity or gravity from the center of the circle, but in short, he jumped in mid-air, but like a mosquito swatted by a fly, he fell into it fiercely.
"Wow ——————!!!" With a scream, the huge golden circle below swept in like a whirlpool.
With a sudden, Robin disappeared into the circle.
……
Gail stared nervously out the window, but he didn't dare to interrupt Lord Saiya, who was presiding over the magic ceremony behind him, and his heart rose to his throat.
The row of black-clothed men outside, like ghostly blades, surrounded from all sides, although there was a [White Wing Shield] Heroise, it was difficult to stop the other party's progress.
Heloise is like a huge mountain, an iron wall, she is about two meters tall, standing in the crowd, obviously more than half a block taller than the people around her, the force in her hand is extremely violent, a huge life-size steel axe is extremely agile, she is waving back and forth, like flying wings.
Firmly hold the only road leading to the White Pagoda in front of the mountain.
On her left wrist, however, she wore a wide white shield engraved with Itnair's star and moon motifs, shining brightly.
The white shield jumped back and forth, blocking the attacks of the opposing multi-person from different angles, and at the same time slammed into their bones, making a devastating cracking sound.
Gail remembered the name of her terrible ability—
Mountains and rivers cracked.
As long as it is touched by her weapon, or touched by her strength, it will either die or be injured.
Had it not been for the arrival of the little man in the group, Gale would have had no doubt that Heloise would have been able to handle the intrusive Assassins—
When Heloise's extraordinary powers were discovered, the crowd automatically moved out of the way, and at the same time, the people scattered, each looking for other opponents, leaving Heloise to the little man at the back of the group.
She wears a white metal mask and has a thin build, with more powerful lower limbs than her thin upper body.
Gail could almost see the distinct muscles on her tight black pant legs.
The man's arms were a little too long for the others, almost down to the knees, like an ape.
Gael's heart tightened, such a figure has always been known for its agility, this group of assassins is probably more powerful than they imagined, no less than the King's Guard, or the Temple Guard.
The little man held two short daggers in his backhand, and his feet suddenly exerted force, like a gust of wind, and sped towards the tall Heloise.
As if expecting a frontal attack, a smug smile bloomed on the corner of Heloise's mouth, and then she spat on her hand, raised her giant axe, and slashed down in the direction that the other party was approaching.
However, Gail could clearly see that the steel axe was grazing the other man's clothes and slashing downward.
I don't know why, in the blink of an eye, the other party looked like a paper man, and his whole body twisted to the side and grazed the axe body to dodge outward.
With a bang, the earth and rocks cracked.
Missed!
Gail's heart screeched.
How is this possible?!
At the same time, she could almost hear a soft grunt from Heloise—
A line of blood, grazing the outside of her right leg, burst outward.
And the little man had rolled to her right back at some point.
Heloise is injured?!
How did she do it?
So fast!
Gail's surprise was not trivial, and the image was swirling in his mind.
Compared to Heloise in the realm of sin, the thin figure in the leader of the other party did not fall behind at all.
She couldn't see exactly what kind of moves the other party used, but being able to fight back and even injure her under Heloise's steel axe was terrifying enough.
Gail couldn't help but get worried.
However, the other party didn't leave her extra time to worry about -
A black figure flew out, avoiding the arcing line of defense formed by the white guards in front of them, and landed firmly behind them.
The massive tower was completely exposed to their sight.
The guards instinctively let out a low cry, although they wanted to deal with the fish that slipped through the net, but the enemies around them stopped them, making these priest guards powerless.
Gail's pupils shrank violently, and he hid his figure in the shadow of the window, silently observing the other.
She clenched the sword in her hand and waited for the other party to arrive.
But unexpectedly, the person did not take the stairs, but climbed directly onto the outer wall of the White Tower, and I don't know what the ability was, she climbed up with her hands and feet against the wall, her body was agile and fast, like a huge humanoid spider.
Gail looked grimacing, knowing that it was time to test her.
It seems that there is more than one Stranger on the other side.
She took a deep breath and held the silver rapier at her waist in her hand, then shrank inward and ducked behind the white wall by the window.
She exchanged glances with the other white-clothed guard in the room, Jean Nellen, and the other party immediately came to her senses, drew her sword and concentrated, slowed down, and slowly approached the window, nervously on guard.
The two of them held their breath and waited.
She felt a suffocation in her chest, as if time had stood still.
I don't know how long it took, but as the soft sound outside came from far and near, her palms were already full of sweat.
The light in the room suddenly dimmed, and then a black figure flew in through the window.
The sword light in the violin shot out, and in just a moment, several holes were pierced in it.
The figure fell lightly to the ground with a slight sound.
Her brows furrowed slightly, and she let out a soft sigh, and a trace of ominous premonition passed through her heart, the feeling just now-
It's like falling into the air, without the slightest sense of force.
It wasn't until she saw the thing that fell to the ground that she realized that it was just a cloak at all, and there was a shadow of half a person there.
Worst!
