Chapter 157: The Fire of Vengeance
After Najeta left, there was a sudden silence in the study, and Ulysses sat in his chair, his chin on the back of his hand, his dark blue eyes twinkling, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Suddenly, a voice rang out out of thin air.
"Is it really okay to just let her go? This woman is not like those cowards, coercion and seduction will not work, if we can't be with us, it is better to kill them before they become disasters. ”
In the corner of the study, the figure of the black knight appeared strangely, he was dressed in black armor, his hands were folded in his arms, and he leaned his body at the same time, his back against the wall, as if he had been standing here from the beginning, but he was not noticed.
"I understand your concerns, but Najeta is still useful, and killing her is easy, but it's a bit too much of a pity." Ulysses' expression remained unchanged, not surprised by the sudden appearance of the Black Knight, "Anyway, she's a good card against Javier Salmondo, and she has to be as effective as possible...... If this woman died in Anning Road, she might be able to deal a certain blow to Javier, and even if she didn't die, it would not be too late to deal with her afterwards. ”
The Black Knight was silent for a moment, then said, "It's good that you have a clear plan in mind, I'm just an executor, thinking about how to do it...... That's your job. ”
His tone was casual, but he didn't show much respect for Ulysses, as if there was a subtle egalitarian position between the two.
"It's natural," Ulysses said calmly, as if he didn't care about the Black Knight's attitude, "that's what I promised when I brought you in, and I will do so in the future." ”
The two of them met each other, which is already a different story, and there is no need to go into detail at this time, but it is certain that there is no conflict of interest between them, and the desired future leads to the same path, which is why they chose to join forces.
"What will happen next is an unprecedented war, and the entire empire will be drawn into the flames, how sure are you that you will be able to achieve the final victory?" The Black Knight asked, "You know, none of the three 'strongest in the Empire' are easy to deal with, and the Empire has them as a helper, and the difficulty is not low. ”
Ulysses reclined back in his chair, changed his comfortable position, and closed his eyes slightly, but did not respond positively to the Black Knight's question.
"I had a dream last night......," he muttered to himself, "I dreamed that the troops of the revolutionary army broke through the gates of the imperial capital and trampled that city under their feet, and the emperor of the empire was also pushed to the top of the city, and the dynasty was overthrown...... It was such a pleasant dream, and I was a little reluctant to wake up. ”
"That's ......"
As if with a sigh, the Black Knight stopped talking.
After a long silence, Ulysses opened his eyes again and said to the Black Knight, "Inform all the members of Deaththorn for me, that there will be a big mission ahead, so that they can all prepare themselves." ”
"I see."
"In addition, the candidates who will go to Anning Road will be Saro and Dirac." Ulysses said, "Tell them to find a chance to get in touch with the boy named Tazmi, who is the current owner of 'Haunted by Demons' and who seems to have undergone some kind of strange mutation, and who has amazing potential...... If conditions allow, it is best to win over. ”
-
The temporary base of the Night Raid is located in an unknown valley, with a small stream flowing through it, and the outer part is covered with lush forest vegetation, and in the middle of the night, you can faintly hear the strange roar of nocturnal dangerous species coming from afar.
In order to facilitate training in peacetime, the base is located on the periphery of the Black Wind Mountains, closer to the central section, which can be called dangerous. At the beginning, in order to clear the dangerous species entrenched in the vicinity, the "night attack" people were almost all dispatched, and it took great hard work to get all this done.
And on the training ground of the base, there are two figures fighting fiercely at one place at this moment.
As they moved at high speed, the blades in their hands also slammed into each other in the staggered shapes, erupting with strong noises and dazzling sparks, and the sand and dust in the field were constantly raised wantonly in the rush, and then suddenly dissipated under the violent wind caused by the exchange of two sides.
At a certain moment, Tazmi suddenly set up a blunt knife, holding the handle of the knife with one hand, and the other hand against the knife surface, the center of gravity of his body also sank rapidly.
"Bell!"
The indescribable high-pitched roar, the sharp sound waves spread like a storm in all directions, blowing the grass and trees down, even the glass of the floor-to-ceiling windows on the first floor burst into cracks, and the birds in the forest hundreds of meters away were frightened and fluttered one after another, accompanied by bursts of chirping.
If it had been half a year ago, Tazmi, who had eaten this trick, would definitely be unable to parry, be sent out like a rag pocket, and then directly lose the ability to fight - this is the best ending.
But since the fusion with the evil spirits in the battle of the imperial capital, perhaps due to the influence of dragonization, Tazmi's body has continued to show a tendency to strengthen over time, and driven by a certain belief, he has been training himself almost like crazy for half a year.
When it comes to combat effectiveness, he is no longer on the same level as the former rookie.
So at this moment, the result of the head-on collision with Susanoo only caused the ground under Tazmi's feet to sink a little deeper again, bursting into spiderweb-like cracks around him.
Susanoo, however, was forced to eject backwards due to the strong countershock, and the long-handled hammer in his hand also rose into the air.
Seeing the opportunity for Susanoo's empty door to open wide, Tazmi bent his legs slightly, like a discharged bullet, and instantly exploded in front of Susanoo's body, while clenching the silver-white blunt knife in his hand.
His delicate face was full of resoluteness and coldness at this time, his dark brown hair was scattered in the wind, and his left eye, which only had a strange blood red cross, suddenly showed a strong evil aura.
In an instant, the two of them staggered, and by the time Tazmi stood still, Susanoo had already seen a hideous scar on his lower left abdomen, and the wound was so deep that it almost crossed half of his body - but there was no bleeding, although it was a matter of course.
Such an injury was naturally nothing to Susanoo, who had an immortal body, and with just one breath, the crack in his abdomen was restored along with the broken clothes, as if nothing had happened.
Susanoo lowered his head to look at the injured part he had just been injured, and then cast an approving look at Tazmi.
"Well done, Tazmi. This is the third time you've hit me, and now you have the strength to fight me head-on, even without the use of the Demon Haunt. ”
"Thank you for your advice, Mr. Su!" Tazmi exclaimed.
"So, let's move on to the next round." Susanoo re-established his stance.
"Yes!"
While Tazmi and Susanoo were conducting combat training, in the stands on the outskirts of the training ground, Hitomi and Ma Yin were standing together silently watching the battle, occasionally talking softly.
"Tazmi is getting stronger and stronger, and it would be very gratifying if Brand could see him grow." Red Hitomi sighed.
"Of course, you don't see whose boyfriend he is." Ma Yin snorted arrogantly.
Since the "Night Raid" withdrew from the imperial capital to the headquarters of the Revolutionary Army, I don't know why, the relationship between Tazmi and Ma Yin began to heat up rapidly, and just recently, they finally officially developed into lovers.
"Actually, there's a question I've always wanted to ask, you and Tazmi...... Who confessed first? Red Hitomi asked curiously.
Hearing this, Ma Yin's face immediately turned red, and he looked left and right: "This, this, this, this kind of thing is completely irrelevant!" ”
"I see," seeing this obvious reaction, Red Hitomi said unexpectedly, "I didn't expect you to be such an active type, Mayin." ”
"Long-winded!"
Red Hitomi smiled, then looked at Tazmi, who was sweating in the training ground, and said, "Tazmi, he's really working hard, and he's been like this since the day he joined the 'Night Raid'......"
"Well," Ma Yin nodded, but her mood was slightly low, "It's just that I've tried too hard, especially recently, I always blindly increase the amount of training, and I don't care about my body at all." ”
"Worried?" Red Hitomi asked.
"He's an idiot." Ma Yin said quietly, "I obviously have a lot of things in my heart, but no matter how uncomfortable I am, I refuse to confide in me, and I especially like to be strong...... But even if he wouldn't say anything, I could guess a little. ”
Brand ...... And everyone's death hit Tazmi too hard, until now, he hasn't fully come out, and has always been desperate to chase after that person as if he was being driven...... I'm afraid that if this continues, he will be the first to hold on. ”
A hint of melancholy also flashed in the eyes of the red pupils, and said: "After the mutation that occurred in the evil spirits, the boss has made it forbidden to allow Tazmi to use the emperor at will. But...... On one occasion I stumbled upon Tazmi, who had traveled alone to the depths of the Black Wind Mountains, where he was secretly practicing the use of the Haunted Spirit. ”
"Maybe for him, even if using the power of the demon haunting will bring him closer to death, or even become a monster, as long as this power can make him stronger, strong enough to defeat the person in the imperial capital, then the price is worth it......"
When Ma Yin heard this, the worry on her face became worse, and even her eye circles began to redden.
And at this moment, there was a sudden shrill and piercing cry in the sky, and everyone below heard the sound, only to see a dark blue creature with wide fleshy wings slowly descending from the sky, it was a special dangerous species raised by the revolutionary army - Elmunda.
"It should be that the boss is back, she was called by the leader alone today, and I don't know what happened." Red Hitomi said.
Moments later, when Elmonda landed in the middle of the training ground, Najeta jumped from it and landed firmly on the ground.
She looked at the four people gathered and said solemnly: "There is an important task, let's prepare and leave for Jerlock tomorrow." ”
"Jerlock? The headquarters of the Taoist altar in Anning? What are you going to do in that place? Ma Yin asked.
"The war between the Empire and Anning Dao has begun, and the leader intends to send the 'Night Raid' to support the allies of the Revolutionary Army, while assassinating as many high-ranking Imperial generals as possible in the areas we do best." Najeta said this, and paused, her voice cautious, "Besides...... According to reliable sources, the person in charge of leading the army on the imperial side was Javier Salmondo. ”
Hearing this long-lost but familiar name, the surroundings were quiet for a moment, and then everyone looked different.
Susanoo was still the same indifferent appearance as Tarzan collapsed in front of him, and Ma Yin tightened his chest, his face turned pale, as if he remembered some bad memories.
The red pupil's complexion remained unchanged, but he lowered his gaze slightly, and his red eyes were thoughtful.
Tazmi was stunned for a few seconds when he heard Javier's name, and then the intense emotions that rushed out of his chest immediately took over his brain, making his eyes bloodshot and stained with sinister gas.
A fire of vengeance was burning in his chest.
He had waited too long for this day to come.
In the past six months, he has done everything to become stronger, just to no longer experience the pain of powerlessness to despair, to avenge the tragic death of his companions at the hands of Javier, and to draw a line with his once weak and incompetent self.
Wait, Javier Salmondo.
Tazmi thought to herself, and those heterochromatic pupils revealed extreme hatred.
This time, I must kill you with my own hands - and then, with your blood, I will pay tribute to my brother's soul!
