Chapter 23: The Maiden and Nicholas (8/10)

Mr. Kim stood in his military tent. The phantom in front of him showed everything on the battlefield of the Empire.

"It's over." The adjutant muttered to himself.

Okade lost. The armies were defeated, and the Legendary Spellcasters were slain or sealed.

"No, not yet." Mr. Kim said suddenly.

The adjutant looked at him puzzled.

"Lord...... Speaker Nicholas is still there," Mr. King said, "and as long as he is alive, his Okad will not be gone." ”

"No matter how powerful he is, he is just one person...... the adjutant said confusedly.

"Nicholas is a man who never knows how to give up," Mr. King said calmly, "I once thought that Nicholas would still be the winner in the end if he went to war with the world on his own." ”

"So ......"

With a wave of his hand, the image of the Imperial Army receiving Okadian captives vanished, and in its place, Phoenix City and Black Floating City appeared in the shadows.

"Neither side stopped us from snooping. Come, let us witness the final outcome of this war. ”

……

Imperial capital.

Nicholas's figure burning with light purple arcane flames swept across the sky. In front of the towering "Black Floating City" and "Phoenix City", his figure seemed somewhat small.

And the girl was wearing a red magic armor "Aurora", holding a dark golden parasol "Bright World", her expression was calm, and she walked in the air.

Nicholas's falcon-like gaze fell on the girl. He looked puzzled, but then suddenly showed a blank expression.

"Not Palamedes. I see......" he said in a murmuring tone, "he needs to manipulate the sea of clouds." I really didn't expect that it was you, a junior, who was responsible for resisting my ...... 'Bright World'. ”

The maiden did not speak.

"So what?" Nicholas scoffed, "You may have gained new strength now, but you still can't compare to Lone. Let Palamedes come out. His ritual of usurping the sea of clouds should have ended. He deserves to know...... What a shameful thing to hide behind juniors. ”

The girl shook her head.

"No, Nicholas," she said, in a different tone, "there is only one left who will fight you here today." And thou shalt die here today. ”

Nicholas frowned slightly. The girl's tone made him feel a faint sense of familiarity.

There is a ...... The "Eternal Blood", whom he trusted the most, was accustomed to speaking in this strange written tone before he became familiar with the lingua franca.

On the way, Nicholas has received the news that "the Eternal Blood has appeared on the battlefield of the Empire, incarnated as three dragons, and ordered the Okad soldiers to surrender".

But in Nicholas's opinion...... This is mostly a trick of the Imperialists. Since Prince Dimi is alive, then the "Bright World" should also be alive. The three dragons are the deities of the "Bright World", and everything is from beginning to end...... Maybe it's all just a hoax.

And the real "eternal blood" may be in some kind of predicament.

"Nope."

Nicholas's eyes gleamed with arcane light. His arrow-like gaze cut through the camouflage and saw the fake "soul" in the girl's body.

Then, having implanted a fake soul for the "Eternal Blood", he finally understood.

"You're a 'soulless.'" He said in a hoarse voice.

"Ahh That's right. ”

"You, like the Blood of Eternity, are a consciousness from another universe. No, no, it's not just ......."

Nicholas had a brief conversation with Palamedes about the technique of creating "disguised souls" for the soulless, making it impossible for native spellcasters to see through them. Nicholas used to be curious...... Why Palamedes did something about it? He shouldn't have known about the existence of the "Soulless".

The broken puzzle pieces gradually came together in Nicholas's heart.

Palamedes' plan.

Okad's dilemma.

And also...... Why is your actions completely controlled by the enemy, and why does the "Eternal Blood" suddenly betray you.

The answer is that it lies in the "Buddha-figure advent" of "Eternal Blood" and "Bright World", the same three dragons.

Everything suddenly became clear.

"'The World of Light'!" The Lord of Okad's Falcon roared, "You and the 'Eternal Blood' are ......"

"You are still so confident, so irritable, Mr. Speaker," the girl whispered, "and this is the cause of your defeat. ”

"'Eternal Blood' and 'Light World'......" muttered the Speaker, "I see. Like the 'Emperor of the Eternal Night' and the 'End Day'...... Same person, but different ......"

It is no wonder that the weakened Palamedes dared to face the "catastrophe of the end of time" at this moment, unite all the forces of the empire and the French state at all costs, and defeat himself.

I'm afraid that he has put his hope on two traversers who come from the same source but are different from each other.

With his skills, perhaps this will meet the prerequisites for opening the cosmic portal.

And he told Mr. Jin and the "Eternal Blood" about his plan for the "Eternal Reincarnation Kingdom...... Instead, it prompted them to rebel against themselves more quickly.

Because, another plan proposed by Palamedes may be much better than his own.

"That's how it is."

Nicholas laughed.

He was still angry at the silent betrayal of his subordinates.

But what angered Nicholas more than the betrayal itself was his inability to understand the reasons for the betrayal. Now, when the truth is revealed, everything is connected to everything, Nicholas's mind has settled down.

"That's right. …… I understand. Worthy of Palamedes...... No, it's the same with the Far River. So many preparations have been made quietly. Presumably, Okade will also take on a new look in the new world under his control. ”

"So you're going to give up?" The girl's eyebrows frowned slightly.

Nicholas always had a "peaceful" smile on his face. The ruler of Okad rarely had such an expression on his face. If the "eternal blood" is here, it will naturally be judged that this is a precursor to what Nicholas has planned.

"Wei Yuanhe...... I don't know if you agree with the name......"

"The name is just a code name. Please feel free. ”

"Well, then, my young friend," said Nicholas, as if instructing the Eternal Blood, "let me instruct you in one thing. ”

"You look...... Happy? The girl frowned.

"You have shown the way to Lonely. There is no need to abandon more than eighty percent of the people of Okad. Nicholas regained his indifference without joy or sorrow.

"Do you want to surrender?"

"Be grateful, Lone will spare your life. However, Lone will seal you away completely. ”

The ruler of Okadian regained his arrogance.

There was a slight deviation in the plan...... But that's fine. I have a better plan to achieve now. All Okadians who are loyal to themselves can leave. Then, there's a new universe waiting to be learned about for yourself...... Or even conquest.

"Lone will kill Palamedes, and your self-righteous 'friends,'" Nicholas's voice seemed to come from the Nine Shadows, "and then all the traitors." As long as you and the living specimen of the 'Eternal Blood' are used as signifiers, Lone can also open the cosmic portal. What is Palamedes able to do...... Loneliness can do it. And all the people of the empire and the legal state must die. ”

"You ......"

"Praise the glory of Lone," Nicholas unleashed an astonishing momentum all over his body, "and then prostrate himself under Lone's head, trembling." ”

Feeling Nicholas's awe-inspiring killing intent, the girl did not hesitate at all.

"Self-liberation." Nicholas said.

"The deity is coming!" The girl shouted.

Over Phoenix - a huge vortex of magic was created in an instant.

"Liberation of the true self" and "Buddha-figure advent".

The two spellcasters did not delay any time, and at the same time incarnated into their most combative posture!

Crystal in general, there is a faint flow of colorful brilliance in the "three glass dragons".

The whole body is jet-black "obsidian falcon".

Two towering war beasts were killed together in no time!
