Chapter 224: Rescued
Having lost her weapon, Ciri has been reduced to a beast, a wounded beast. For many beasts, it is a survival instinct to flee after being injured, knowing that it is not hostile. However, after being alienated by the Evil Eye Ring, the "beast" has become a monster that is tireless and painful and wants to tear apart and devour opponents.
Her four-legged appearance made Orlan feel guilty, heartbroken, and angry...... However, none of this was any longer a reason for him to clench his sword, and the golden rose in his hand stabbed obliquely into the masonry of the earth. Even in the face of the high gods, the powerful and tyrannical ancient dragon, or Manus who wanted to destroy him if he couldn't get it, or the white dragon who coerced and seduced him, Oran never put down the sword in his hand.
But his sword would no longer swing at his companions, and he secretly swore and reminded himself countless times that he had done too much of such a thing in his previous life...... This has also become the reason to support him all the way forward.
Ciri pounced on Oran, who was standing in place, and Orlan waited for her to "throw" into his arms. However, it was not the gentle delicate body that slammed into the chest, and the force of this impact was no less than the tail strike of the dragon.
Boom! After a muffled sound, the two of them crashed into the house next to them, then broke through the roof and smashed to the ground, and then they destroyed this immortal town for thousands of years. Except for the city walls, which were blessed with ancient magical powers, which could not be shaken, the rest of the residential buildings could no longer withstand their destruction.
Oran ripped off the linen hood on Ciri's head, and the originally cold and delicate face became hideous and vicious, her pupils were infinitely dilated and blood-red, without a trace of human reason, and after the attack of her hands and feet was locked by Oran, she even began to try to tear through the gaps in Oran's armor.
Ciri attacks without hesitation, but Orlan is restrained at every turn, fearing that he will accidentally injure her life. Although he also thought of using melee grappling to remove Ciri's joints and even break her hands and feet, although he couldn't bear it, it was undoubtedly a way to help her remove the ring, but Orlan still underestimated the power of the Evil Eye Ring.
It seems that the Evil Eye Ring also senses Oran's purpose, and controls Ciri to become more and more violent, and that evil energy is wildly released to repair her body damage. Even if the joint is removed, the instant recovery after a click, and even the broken bone will not affect her attack.
Orlan was a little overwhelmed, and it seemed that only a lethal attack could stop Ciri.
At this time, he also had a choice, deliberately revealing a flaw, and as the wolf riding helmet was lifted away by the other party, Ciri bit his neck like a beast.
Such mellow plasma filled the mouth, Ciri or the Evil Eye Ring had never felt such a wonderful taste, and Orlan was unmoved, letting her bite. The moment she tasted the taste of blood, the great satisfaction even brought her to a certain emotional peak, perhaps at this time her mind finally had a little lucidity.
Orlan pinched her left hand, as well as the ring on top of it, as if her soul could feel the struggle and howl coming from the ring. The Evil Eye Ring bit Ciri's finger like a maggot on a tarsal bone, almost fused with flesh and blood, and Orlan knew that the only last resort was to take it off.
That is, he replaced Ciri as the host of the Evil Eye Ring.
……
Freed from the grip of the Evil Eye Ring, Ciri's struggling body finally collapsed. Orlan hugged her, and she leaned on his shoulder like a sleeping child, half of their bodies and their long silver and white hair dyed scarlet, but they were inexplicably less hideous. Reflecting the orange of the sky, the blood became gentle.
……
In Ciri's dream, the spring water in the Twilight Country is very sweet, and she is still Princess Ciris, although she can no longer see the blurred appearance of her parents when she looks up, perhaps because she is too young. Losing everything, she even lost her eligibility to be named Cirith, but her grandfather told her that it was good to be called Ciri.
"Ciri, Ciri, are you awake?" The familiar voice suddenly echoed in his ears, and Ciri opened his misty eyes, and the spots of light flickered, which turned out to be under the tree. It was indeed him who caught her eye, and she had finally found him.
This is a story that is not too long but extremely thrilling, and from Ciri's mouth, Orlan can roughly imagine that the two of them have overcome all difficulties together, and maybe no danger can stop them, at least they are still alive. Of course, if Yulia was here, Orlan would have liked the story even more.
However, the story is not over yet, and Orlan wants Yulia to tell him the ending herself.
Talking to Ciri about his own wonderful journey through time. For example, defeating the dragon and saving the princess, obtaining a powerful knight's sword and armor, helping a group of mushroom cubs, and finally meeting a new partner, at least it sounds like a good story.
Even though Ciri felt that he was a little evasive, she still didn't debunk him, and maybe only Yuria could make this guy honestly spit out the truth, such as about the whereabouts of the ring. She was afraid that Orlan couldn't resist the temptation of the "Lord of the Rings", but after a few days, Oran obviously didn't show anything unusual.
Oran's hand only has a ring shaped like a wolf's head.
Fire Sacrifice Ground.
The discouraged warrior had no expectation that he would see this guy named Orlan again so soon, with another bloody lila woman he knew, but what about the other woman?
This time, he kept his mouth shut, and there was no rumor, because Orlan's angry appearance was too scary, and he didn't think he could do anything about this guy.
What's even more excessive is that Orlan actually told him to keep an eye on the ruins, not to let others in, and told him not to have any thoughts of peeping himself. Even the big crow overhead was driven away.
What the hell, will there be anyone else in this sacrificial ground where birds don't? Well, although there are quite a lot of visitors during this time. Later, when the two came out of the ruins, they were already brand new, at least not two bloody people anymore. Well, he remembered that there was indeed a pond full of clear water in the ruins.
Damn it! Obviously, this kind of thing, even the undead will be jealous. In Orlan's puzzled eyes, the discouraged warrior viciously poured the primordial bottle, in short, as much as he could, not enough to be in the campfire!
Alas, it looks like they're leaving again today, and although the Discouraged Warriors always feel that every goodbye to this group is a farewell, they always come back alive. I hope I can see them next time, looking at the figures of the two leaving, he suddenly felt a little sad...... Wait, when did you become so sentimental, maybe you got too close to humans.
