Chapter 379: The Devil's Philosophy
Daria stood on the smoke-filled rooftop, looking down at the bloody and wailing streets beneath her feet, her face unmoved. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
At her instigation, the three-headed petrified beast unleashed its wildness and ran rampant through the streets, killing inhabitants and driving terrified people far away, creating even greater chaos in a chain reaction.
Standing behind Daria, Clark couldn't help but look at the bloodshed on the streets.
He knew very well that he was not qualified to sympathize with anyone and blame Dalia for his atrocities, but he still couldn't hold back the throbbing in his heart and blurted out: "Daria, please don't do this!" ”
The beautiful and cold Lady Lust turned a deaf ear to his calls, still looking down indifferently at the miserable appearance of beings in the streets.
"Daria! Daria!! Clark had to raise his voice and keep shouting that his throat was hoarse, and the witch slowly turned back and glanced at him coldly.
"My ears are not deaf, just say whatever you want, there is no need to yell in excitement."
"Why do you have to be so cruel, Daria, that's not what Grande said when he hired us, he needed two fresh faces to come into the city to ask for information for him, but he didn't say that he wanted us to kill innocents!" Clark said indignantly.
"This time and that time, and now his order has changed."
"We can refuse his orders! Aren't you very good at exploiting loopholes? Why don't you tell him that this request is unreasonable! ”
"Hehe, are you really stupid or pretending to be stupid?" Daria laughed, "In the face of absolute power, the terms of the contract have a fart, if we dared to say a word, believe it or not, we will be slapped to death by the demon king on the spot!" ”
Clark didn't dare not believe it, otherwise he wouldn't have swallowed it in the first place.
"But it's different now, the demon king didn't follow us to supervise, you just need to be perfunctory, why do you work so hard to kill innocents for him?"
Daria shook her head and sighed: "With your mind, you can probably only think to this point, if we are really perfunctory and can't create enough chaos to attract the attention of the city defense and security agencies, then we can't create enough space for Grande to carry out the follow-up plan, and if one link goes wrong, the whole chain will collapse, and Grande will be able to spare us after the fact?" ”
"The world is so big, we can hide everywhere, I don't believe he can find it!" Clark was still unconvinced.
"But I don't want to live that kind of life in hiding, what can a rat in the gutter do? You can go if you want, and I'll do your job. ”
"My job? Isn't it enough for you to kill so many people, you have to kill twice as many people to be satisfied? Clarke's eyes were full of unbearability, "I like this city, and I like the people here, please be merciful in my face and stop slaughtering those innocent people." ”
"Actually, I like this city a lot, but when I am told, I don't care about personal preferences." Daria indifferently refused his request.
"Do you have any will of your own?" Clark couldn't help but be angry, "Could it be that 'doing what you are told' can be used as an excuse to kill innocents indiscriminately, so that you can feel guilty without feeling guilty at all?" ”
Daria smiled dumbly, looking back at her giant partner, her eyes deep and sharp, and the words she said were extremely desolate: "Clark, look at me, look at this woman in front of you, do you know why she is called 'the devil'?" Because of the transcendent bloodline? Mighty power? Or is it born with a vicious heart? You don't understand, poor Clark, you lack faith, you have contempt for order, you don't have organization, so you can't understand what I'm thinking. ”
"Can you tell me, then, what the hell are you thinking?"
"It doesn't matter what I think, since the moment I was born from the flames of the Nine Hells, the will of purgatory has been deeply imprinted in my soul and has become my faith, I have dissolved my personality into my faith, integrated myself into the order, and become a part of the organizational system, for which I will lose a part of my freedom, but I will also get the sustenance of my heart."
"What kind of spiritual sustenance, that's all an excuse for you to shirk the condemnation of conscience!"
"You actually talk about 'conscience', it's really interesting, believe it or not, I can kill you in person, rip out your heart and swallow it alive without changing your face? If even this little thing had to touch my conscience, I would not have survived in the Nine Prisons to this day, let alone become a 'mortal hunter'. Daria's smile was full of ridicule, "You are a 'mortal', I am a 'hunter', I will not feel the slightest guilt in killing you, Clark my poor friend, whether you believe it or not, it is the truth, when I integrate myself into the faith and the system, my conscience is no longer my private emotion, the benefit of losing my freedom is to be a part of the system, everything I do, whether good or evil, will be responsible for the system, and I myself am not obliged to make any kind of moral repentance to anyone, what is the devil?" This is the devil! If you think I'm evil, then be careful, it's systemic evil, personal character doesn't change the essence of the system, a runaway carriage is rampaging through the streets, trampled and injured people to blame? Is it to condemn a certain spoke on the axle? ”
"No, it doesn't make sense...... Clark hung his head weakly.
"That's my principle, my philosophy, it's okay if you don't understand it, anyway, I didn't expect you to understand me at all."
It was a bit hurtful, but Clark knew in his heart that Daria was telling the truth.
Footsteps could be heard across the street, and a group of city guards dressed in leather armor and wearing the Cord emblem appeared in Daria's field of vision.
"It's finally here," she said to Clark without looking back, with an extra fiery magic bow in her hand, "now you have three choices, either kill with me, or try to stop me, or get out of here as soon as possible and go your own way." ”
"But ......"
"There's nothing to hesitate about, don't forget what I said to you back then." Daria said coldly.
Clarke's body shook, and he suddenly remembered that Daria had said that she would never die on the main material plane, but there was no need to worry about her safety. Gritting his teeth, he finally made up his mind, turned and ran away.
Daria didn't look back, but sighed in a low voice: "Simple guy, I hope your luck is not too bad, and you still have time to escape from this pool of troubled waters." ”
By this time, the guards had already surrounded the three-headed petrified beast, firing crossbow bolts from a distance, trying to split them up and surround and hunt. Daria sneered and whistled, and the "Three Petrified Siblings" immediately responded to her call and turned around and retreated towards the building where she was hiding.
The night and smoke obscured the moonlight over the city and the sight of the guards, who did not notice that there was anyone behind the monster, and did not even glance at the roof where Daria was hiding. Collapsed buildings obstructed the streets, and they had to pass through narrow gaps.
Daria whispered a incantation, her slender jade fingers pointing downward, and a huge web of magic descended from the sky and covered the guards' heads.
Spell Expansion, Cobweb!
Someone raised their heads alertly and hurriedly dodged to dodge. However, in such a narrow and messy field, there was no room to dodge, and I could only watch as the large net fell as a hood, and the sticky spider silk wrapped around my body, unable to break free for a while.
Daria sneered and waved her hand, and the negative energy undercurrent was transmitted along the cobweb, instantly attaching to the body surface of all the trapped people, causing them to endure great pain and torture, and fell down one after another, curled up and moaning and screaming, her face and limbs blistered and pus, and her bloodshot eyes could not see......
The 3-ring "Abuse Technique" is as its name suggests, breaking down the spirit of the group of guards, and unable to raise the slightest will to fight. Daria bent her bow and arrows, and flaming arrows flew through them, killing the trapped guards one by one.
At this moment, another figure appeared across the street, and seemed to hear the cry for help, and quickly rushed towards it.
Daria raised her hand and shot an arrow, but was blocked by the man's shield, and couldn't help but be taken aback, she put away her magic bow and quickly made a spell casting gesture, shooting a cyan beam of light at the hazy figure.
The 2-ring "Human Immobilization Technique" looks like a ray attack, but in fact the range is longer than that of ordinary ray spells, and it does not require Daria to aim, and the magic beam that shoots out will automatically lock onto the target to ensure a hit.
The spell did hit as she expected, but it was blocked by a silver shield, as if a stone was thrown into the water and caused a ripple, which immediately disappeared and became invisible, and did not stop the man's path as she had hoped.
