Ledo was running desperately.

He didn't even have time to grieve over his fiancée's death. As early as when the two joined the army, Ledo was already mentally prepared for such an outcome. What better ending than to die on the battlefield for a true soldier? But when I think of this, the pain is still like an empty hole, gradually spreading and taking root in the hearts of the young warriors.

The enemy showed no signs of chasing. Koledo was still running as hard as he could, trying to stay away from the Grim Reaper who had killed his fiancée. Nor did he look back at the enemy. He didn't want to waste time, or rather, his heart was already blank.

Maybe I'll be able to escape. Maybe in the next second, his life will be over. His only hope is that the other party is indeed seriously injured and unable to pursue. But even then? Fleeing back to Okad in embarrassment, and shackles of desertion for the rest of his life?

It would be nice if the dead were themselves. In Ledo's heart, this idea suddenly popped up.

……

"Stop!" The girl shouted hoarsely.

But the gray-robed mage John Goth did not respond to the girl's request. The girl didn't know when he started observing the battlefield, but maybe from the beginning, he was able to see everything she did.

"The end of the curtain has come," Goth's voice was loud, and he stood there like a black stele, "and it is all over, gentlemen from Okad. ”

"Wait a minute, they should be by me—" the girl shouted. But halfway through her words, the level came to an abrupt end.

......The girl was so shocked that she could barely speak.

[Spells of this level...... He was not seen taking out the casting materials or reciting the incantation...... How did he do it? Xiaowei was also shocked.

What is presented in front of you is a frenzy of death triggered by Goth.

More precisely, a frenzy of "self-killing".

As if controlled by an invisible hand—the girl knew, it was the power of magic that Goth could not see—had taken control of their spirits, and the soldiers, who had just dispersed and fled, all stopped. Immediately afterward, they drew their weapons and pointed them at their heads. Strange laughs and whimpering sounded from his mouth, and a knife, sword, or short spear stabbed wildly in the face.

It was the full force that carried their life's strength. Without even screaming, Okad's soldiers fell to the ground, reduced to cold corpses, their weapons clutched to suicide.

It's not even clear why death came. Under the control of Goth's ghostly spells, Okad's soldiers ended their lives.

"Both...... Dead ......" the girl muttered to herself, gasping and restraining the twitching of the corners of her eyes. Goth didn't even really "make a move", and didn't even say the words "let's kill yourself", I am afraid that just by random thought infiltration, all those enemies who were originally determined voluntarily gave up their lives-

No, the girl's eyes lit up. And one more person -- and one more alive --

However, Goth also noticed. A slight look of respect appeared on his face, and he strode towards the soldier who had not fallen.

……

Ledo fell to his knees, gasping for air.

What happened? Ledo didn't know. Just now, a voice sounded in his head.

"With such a fiasco, you might as well die." The voice said to him.

Then, for some reason, Ledo unreservedly believed the voice's words. He respectfully raised his weapon and headed it towards his own head—

But at the last moment, his fiancée's resolute face appeared in front of his eyes.

Wrong!

It's a trap! Ledo's consciousness roared.

In the final moments when the sword was about to plunge into his face, Ledo regained consciousness. The blade of his sword deflected in time, slicing his cheek with blood, but he finally escaped with his life.

"What is this...... Mind-controlling spells? ”

Noticing the situation around him, Ledo, who seemed to be paralyzed, fell to his knees. In order to resist the spell just now, his energy was already exhausted.

Then he heard the voice of the enemy. A gentle male voice.

"Did you come to your senses at the last moment...... Well done. ”

Ledo looked up at him. It was a young man with short brown hair, pale blonde eyes, and a gray robe. Ledo never met him.

"Are you...... The ...... of that voice just now Is that so, the mage who is secretly protecting that woman......"

Goth nodded.

"I see, she's been in contact with you for a long time...... From the beginning, we had no chance ......," said Ledo with a self-deprecating smile on his face. The other party is a powerful mage beyond his comprehension. Blue Sky or Blue Ocean? Anyway, a single spellbreaker has no chance of winning in front of him.

"You and your captain have done a good job, soldier," Goth whispered, "and as a reward, you can choose how you die. ”

"Then kill me with a destructive spell," Ledo understood that it was all over, "to me and Penny...... Captain died with the same glory. ”

A few heart-wrenching seconds of silence.

"I see." Goth said.

Great magic began to gather in Goth's right hand. The girl could clearly see that a spear made of thunder and lightning, which was incredibly blue and purple, appeared in Goth's hand, crackling.

This time the girl didn't say anything to stop it. That would be a good ending for the warrior as well...... She thought sadly.

Goth threw out the lightning spear in his hand. The lightning spear sped away, piercing Ledo's chest almost instantly.

Ledo collapsed to the ground, his heart stopped beating forever. However, the lightning spear that had killed him passed through his body and shot forward, hitting a small hill not far away. With an earth-shattering explosion, the hill burned out in the flames that rose to the sky, leaving only a huge crater in its place. In contrast, Ledo's body appeared unharmed.

[completely incomprehensible......] Xiao Wei's shocked voice was more like talking to herself, [The power of that lightning spear was obviously so huge that even the hills were completely flattened...... But why, when they hit the man, they simply took his life and passed by like this......]

[I don't understand the principle of spells, but I think I understand his intentions......] The girl responded softly, [Use extremely powerful spell attacks to show the importance of the enemy, but do not destroy the opponent's corpse......]

It's not a simple "easy ride," the girl thought. There is no greater difference between the gods and the ants.

Goth nodded slightly towards Ledo's corpse. Then he turned around and walked over to the girl.

The girl looked at him with indifferent eyes.

What are you going to do...... Xiaowei was keenly aware of the girl's abnormality. Before she could stop the girl, the girl had raised her parasol, the sharp tip of which was pointed at Goth's throat.
