Chapter 262: Odessa Chaos (9)
Xiao Yan pounced on Claudius, and at the same time, the Sartyrs also swarmed up.
Valkyrie threw his short spears with lightning speed, knocking them back one by one, then attracting the axis of attack that dragged him towards Galadia.
Claudius was far more powerful than his three previous companions, and his battle was based on magic, constantly throwing fireballs to break up the formation of several people.
"Reach in! Melee with him, interrupting spellcasting. Xiao Yan tried to approach several times, but was repelled by the continuous fireballs, and had to activate the Ring of Champions, flashing directly in front of the enemy.
"Wow! Interesting! Claudius didn't panic in the slightest, he dodged Xiao Yan's slash with a dodge, and pulled out a thin sword with his backhand and pierced Xiao Yan's shoulder.
This blow actually carried extremely cold and black shadow energy, directly shattering the frost shield on Xiao Yan's body.
"You retreat!" Valkyrie raised his shield to meet him, narrowly blocking Claudius' second strike with a round shield.
Claudius, who missed the blow, withdrew his sword, recited the spell in his mouth, and stretched out his hand to Valkyrie: "Shadow Touch!" β
Several near-void tentacles poured out of the ground, binding Valkyrie in one fell swoop. The red-haired girl was quick-eyed, and the golden spear was already out of her hand as she was being held down.
I saw a flash of golden light, and a deep black fragment suddenly exploded in front of Claudius. His magic shield was shattered.
Before Claudius could react, a dazzling light engulfed him and his men.
"Aiya Earendil Elenion Ancalima! οΌβ
The divine light scorched the satyrs, inflicting a massive amount of additional damage on their fallen limbs with exceptional effect.
β¦β¦
"Whew...... Drink ......" Claudius, a decent and elegant man, gasped, his body was covered with scars from swords and slashes, fire and ice. Although he was strong, he quickly fell into a disadvantage under the siege of the four.
"It hurts!" Claudius hurriedly dodged to the side and took out a piece of sparkling emerald, "Behemoth, do you want to know where your brother is?" β
"Attack! Don't let him cast spells! Xiao Yan shouted and threw his javelin, and his teammates also attacked.
"It's too late! After fighting for so long, you have long fallen into my trap! Claudius' smile and the emerald in his hand were elongated and twisted, and the weapons and spells that were about to hit him were frozen in time.
"From the moment you see this piece of jadeite, the gods are watching you!"
"Sleep in a dream! Blasphemer! β
β¦β¦
"Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan?" A pleasant voice rang in my ears.
"Huh? Yes? Who am I? Xiao Yan heard someone calling his name and tried to open his eyes.
"Tired after a long day of playing?"
Hey? This is Sonya's voice. Xiao Yan felt that his body was extremely heavy, and his head was as if he had been slowly lifted out of the water for dozens of meters.
"Where am I??" Xiao Yan finally opened his eyes and looked around, and suddenly found himself resting his head on Sonya's long legs.
The two sat together on a park bench, the evening breeze was blowing, and several couples were whispering intimate not far away.
What unfolds! Xiao Yan was taken aback.
Sonia gently stroked Xiao Yan's hair, looked down at him with a smile, "If you're tired, let's go back." But you're going to get me home first. β
"Well, of course. It's been this time. Xiao Yan hurriedly sat up, so that his eyes would not be uncontrollably attracted by his towering chest.
When the taxi drove down the mountain road in the middle of the mountain, Xiao Yan and Sonya, who were already very familiar with each other during the day, fell into a subtle embarrassment.
"Oh my God! What am I doing? Xiao Yan's heart pounded like a drum, "When I get to Sonya's house, should I nod like a gentleman and say goodnight and leave quietly?" β
He turned his head to look at the girl next to him, and saw Sonia quietly looking out the window, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Knock knock knock!" Xiao Yan's heartbeat began to accelerate, reaching its maximum speed when he stopped the car.
"Come in for a cup of tea?" The girl asked quietly, but slightly crampedly.
Drink tea? What time do you still have tea? The corners of Xiao Yan's mouth curled, and he said without a little hesitation: "Okay! β
The spacious mid-level villa is deserted, and Xiao Yan can see the sea of lights and Victoria Harbour below the mountain from the huge floor-to-ceiling windows.
"Do you live alone?"
"Mom, and the servants come sometimes." Sonia didn't turn on the light, and looked at Xiao Yan quietly under the silver moonlight that spilled into the living room, "I'm always alone. β
"Me! ......" Xiao Yan felt his throat burn. His body moved on its own, and without a second hesitation, he wrapped his arms around Sonya's slender waist and pressed her against the wall, kissing her deeply on the lips.
"Hmm~" Sonia let out a suppressed and seductive moan, and gently pushed Xiao Yan with both hands, as if she was just grabbing his arm.
Am I dreaming...... What happened the day before that? Xiao Yan tried hard to recall the experience of this day, and found that the memories began to be completed little by little, the perfect date, and everything now turned out to be reasonable.
β¦β¦
"Where am I?" Valkyrie rubbed his head and looked left and right, and found himself prostrate in a patch of yellow sand, surrounded by swaying silent figures.
"Griffith, Galadia, and Zhaojun are all gone? Behemoth wasn't there. I...... What's going on? β
Nearby figures became clearer, and loud shouts rang out.
"Stand up, Captain Hua Du stand up quickly!" A strong arm wrapped around Valkyrie's waist and lifted her up from the sand.
"Hold on! We're about to win! A familiar and friendly voice sounded in her ears, causing Mulan to turn her head.
"Changgong!" Mulan almost blurted out, "Why are you there?!" β
"Huh? Didn't you come to support me! The handsome King Lanling had blue blood stains on his face and body, "Did you hurt your head just now?" β
"You just hurt your head!"
"Hmph, it's okay!" My friend of many years showed a smile that Mulan was all too familiar with, "Hold on!" It's going to be over soon. β
"Wan Sheng!" The soldiers around him roared in unison, and then cheered wildly: "The demon army has retreated!" β
Immediately after that, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves and earth-shattering shouts swept past the invisible side of the battlefield, and Mulan found that the people around her were running away with a cheer, leaving only herself and Gao Changgong standing together.
"Don't chase, don't chase! Give them heads. King Lanling let go of his hand and leaned against the rock next to him, "It's easy to pick up a life and come back, this king won't go to the waves." β
Hua Mulan tried her best to recall, and finally remembered that she and the reinforcements rescued Gao Changgong who was besieged in Tianshui, and defeated the demon army and rescued them when his entire army was wiped out.
Everything is so real and clear. The experience of the shadowy underground seems to be just a dream, and Griffith, Galadia, Akikun, and Behemoth are the characters in that dream.
"Did I have a big dream?" The experience of the dimensional world and the Screaming Cavern began to blur and fade rapidly. After a few seconds, Mulan couldn't even recall it anymore, "as if she had forgotten something important." β
"Hey! What's wrong? King Lanling saw that Huahua was distracted, so he asked.
"Huh? Nothing, huh. Mulan tapped her forehead, "I seem to have forgotten something important." β
"Think about it when you go back!" The tall king jumped up happily, "It's finally over, and I can live a 9-to-5 civil service life from now on!" Pensions are beckoning to me! β
"Do you want to go back to Chang'an?"
"Of course! Go back to Chang'an! King Lanling grabbed Huahua's hand, "Let's go back together!" β
"We ...... Let's go back!? β
"Yes, we're together! Didn't you say yes? Gao Changgong's beautiful eyes looked at the girl sincerely, which made her heart ripple.
"Together?"
"Well, we can be together again from now on. Stay away from bloodshed and killing. King Lanling's eyes looked at Mulan with affection and held her hand, "I've been waiting for this day for a long time. β
The gentle words hit the girl's heart.
Oh, yes! I had waited too long for this day, and I thought I would never have such a day.
"That'...... We ......"
"We ......"
Mulan's misty eyes suddenly dimmed, and then gradually became extremely sharp. She pushed away the big hero under Kim Yong Castle.
"What's wrong with you?" King Lanling looked at his lover very strangely.
"Hey, I'm so naΓ―ve to fall for such an illusion." Mulan's eyes were as distant and cold as the snow-capped mountains of Kunlun, "Put away this boring trick!" Gao Changgong of Lanling, I personally washed your wounds and cremated your body. That cold, desperate touch......"
"It's not an ambiguous memory that can be shaken by mere illusions."
"No !!" As soon as the words fell, the image of King Lanling instantly became hideous and distorted, and blood flowed from his eyes and the corners of his mouth. The sight of bloody yellow sand instantly turned into an endless hell of blood and fire.
King Lanling pierced his chest with his own riding spear, and the tip of the spear pierced out from behind. He glared angrily at his long-time comrades-in-arms with bloody eyes, "Unforgivable! I can't forgive you! Cowards who have been captive of fame and fortune and abandoned their responsibilities, defile your dreams with my blood! I curse you! Curse your desires as calamities! When you fall into the oil pot of hell, don't forget the wrath of my high and long gong!
β¦β¦
All illusions shattered like glass.
Claudius' stunned expression appeared before him again.
"Hey, isn't it? How did you get back? So fast! β
A glittering sword appeared in the hands of an enraged Valkyrie, with delicate and mysterious runes engraved on its body, and the blade reflected Claudius' panicked expression.
The former great noble of Emmanley, with a sword in one hand and a scroll in the other, launched a desperate attack on the red-haired beauty.
"Spells! Moss! β
"Spells! Lost! β
"High-level spells! Doom! β
Vicious spells poured out of Claudius' scrolls. Originally, he didn't need to rely on such a wasteful method to cast spells, but the huge sense of crisis made him at a loss, and he used all means of attack and curse in a panic.
"Unforgivable!" Mulan's eyes turned blood-red, more bewitching and beautiful than her red hair.
Claudius' curse and fireballs seemed to have an invisible barrier attached to it, and it was in front of Mulan.
A fierce wind swept up on the cold sword, and the raging wind alone blew Claudius to his feet.
"Isn't it! It's not the same as saying yes! Claudius turned and fled in despair, "Lord Barbubatos! Help me! β
Mulan raised her sword above her head and slashed it in the direction of Claudius' flight.
"Wind Fly!"
The terrifying wind crushed like an invisible greatsword, and Claudius's shields, armor, and flesh were torn apart in the raging hurricane and blown away into the depths of the Endless Crypt.
