Chapter 247: Trial
Javier raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "I don't really understand what you mean." β
"This is a trial, a test that I personally initiated against the Empire." "To prove whether the empire is still worth living." β
"Trials? That's an interesting word. Javier laughed mockingly, not knowing whether to sigh or mockingly.
"I don't have the same attachment to revenge as Tazmi, if I really want to say it, in fact, after Earnest's death, the hatred in my heart has dissipated." Reinhardt paused for a moment, and carried the Rock Eater in his hand on his shoulder, his gaze as deep as the sea, "But this is how I am, but I have questioned the existence of the Empire itself...... Even though it has a long history of thousands of years, when the state can no longer exercise its duty to protect the people, it is disqualified as the support of the people and deserves to be destroyed. β
"Of course, I also know that I will have such thoughts, mainly based on my own experience, which is subjective, paranoid, and even incorrect, so this trial is necessary...... There are only two paths to the future of the empire, either win the war and stand on its own, or fall into the abyss and be swallowed up by the torrent of the times. β
"Whether it is the Empire or the Revolutionary Army that wins this war in the end, it is acceptable to me, and all I have to do is stand before you as part of the trial...... Killing me, or being killed by me, was doomed to you and me long from the moment I decided to embark on this path. β
So that's it......
After hearing these words, Javier fully understood.
About Reinhardt's thoughts as a person, what he wanted to do, and his reasons for wielding his sword at the Empire.
Unlike the vast majority of fanatics in the revolutionary army, this man was sober from beginning to end, with his own firm code of conduct, his own explorations, struggles and reflections, and he incarnated as a Shura for the sake of his goals, but he always retained a trace of humanity.
At the end of the day, Reinhardt was just doing something that was so common in the world's perception β asking questions and then putting the answers into practice.
Because he didn't hesitate, the blade he swung was not confused at all.
Perhaps their paths do not coexist, but Javier has to admit that this is a warrior worthy of respect, and he should kill each other with the utmost respect.
"The time has not yet come for the empire to come to an end, it will continue to exist, prosper and continue...... I will confirm this, holding the future of the empire in my hands! β
Javier slowly raised his hands holding the gun, and the spear pointed at the figure standing proudly above the silver dragon a hundred meters away, his eyes showed a determined light, and a powerful fighting spirit spread in all directions around him.
"Then stop me! Kill me, the future will be yours! β
The flames burned, Reinhardt took a stance with his greatsword in his hand, and a fighting aura that was not inferior to Javier quickly spread to the periphery, and the intersection of fluctuations even faintly produced the illusion of air distortion.
The long wind blew suddenly, stirring their hair, and the world seemed to turn into a slow-motion replay at this moment.
Guns and swords and warriors, dragons and fire and wind, everything seemed to be still, but like a moment of rest and tranquility before the storm.
A puffy cloud flickered in, and the moment it crept above the heads of the two men in the confrontation, the world's time was finally broken from stagnation and accelerated at more than three times the usual speed.
The two people disappeared from the same place almost at the same time, and when they reappeared, the two figures, one red and one green, had already collided together in the air at high speed, and the steel collision erupted into a terrifying explosion, and the clouds within a radius of 100 meters were all dispersed under this violent wave.
"Roar, roar, roarβ"
In the next moment, the two dragons, which reacted a little slower, also rushed forward at high speed in a roar, tearing together.
"Bang bang-"
In the lightning-like hand-to-hand, the riding spear and the big sword have completed more than a dozen collisions, and the dazzling spear and sword light bloom gorgeously, making the heaven and the earth also lose color.
"Boom!"
It was another head-on hit, and both of them fell backwards under the strong force of the shock.
The azure wings behind Javier shook slightly, and the whole person turned over violently, and he took the lead in stabilizing his body, and then stretched out his palm forward, and the energy of the wind was extremely fast.
In the next second, with Javier's soft shout, countless frenzied wind blades screamed out at an extreme speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye, leaving a dense cyan light and shadow in the air.
Reinhardt's expression remained unchanged, and his upside-down body made a sharp turn, and although he managed to dodge most of the wind blades, some of them still chased after him like an appendage.
"Hmph, is it the same trick as last time?"
With a cold snort, Reinhardt was obviously on guard, and was not caught off guard like last time, and quickly swung his big sword to slash out a cloud of sword shadows in front of him, scattering all the wind blades that were chasing after him.
However, when he looked ahead again, he found that Javier was no longer in his field of vision.
"Where are you looking? I'm on it! β
Reinhardt jerked his head up, but the terrifying shadow of the roaring spear was already in front of him, like a city-breaking ram on top of his greatsword.
"Bang!"
This time, Reinhardt didn't have time to use the skills of force and unloading, and a strange force that could not be resisted shook his palms numb, and the big sword almost flew out of his hand, and his whole person was also knocked down at least five hundred meters under Javier's blow!
"Woooooo
A ghost-like whine of wind penetrated Reinhardt's eardrums, and a terrible tornado storm blasted down from above, tearing all the surrounding clouds into pieces, and Javier's second wave of attacks was still a few moments away, and Reinhardt was able to stabilize his falling form.
There was no time to think about it more, and the battle instinct brought about by the battle-hardened formation made Reinhardt subconsciously counterattack.
His purple eyes were as cold as ghostly fire, and the flames wrapped around the Rock Eater's sword skyrocketed to the extreme in an instant, like a warrior in distress, slashing a sword that was enough to reverse the situation!
With this sword slash, the overwhelming flame rush suddenly turned into a flaming dragon, fearlessly facing the terrifying storm that fell from the sky, the power of the radical elements made the wind and fire completely blend at this moment, but this balance only lasted less than a second, and the huge sound of the sky and the earth shattered and engulfed the world.
"Boom!"
The violent explosion that is difficult to describe in words, the fierce wind swept wildly in flames, as if some unknown chemical reaction had been produced, and the entire sky was obscured by the surging waves of fire that escaped, such a huge vision of heaven and earth, even the enemy and our soldiers on the battlefield of the central great plain could clearly see and be shocked.
It is hard to imagine that the destructive power that caused the heavens and the earth to change color was actually caused by a mere human being, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a natural disaster.
Above, Javier flapped his wings and levitated high in the air, his dark purple pupils reflected the crimson sea of fire below, feeling the scorching fire extinguishing in his face, his expression was focused, his whole body was on alert, and the whole person did not dare to relax at all.
Javier could feel that somewhere in this sea of fire that had not yet been extinguished, there was a dangerous aura at this moment.
"Puff puff puffβ"
Then, Javier saw that seven black-armored warriors who were exactly like Reinhardt flew out of the flames, turning into extremely fast afterimages and slaying at him.
This is Reinhardt's flame clone!
