Chapter 17: The Shadow of the Beloved Maiden
I have to admit that the "Five-Vision Universal Observer" is a very good imperial tool, and Zonke has used this imperial tool to kill many opponents who are equal to or even stronger than him.
Peep into people's hearts and predict the future...... This ability is indeed foul-like toughness.
However, it can only act on visible objects after all, and Arrowin, who has the ability to stealth, is a natural nemesis for it.
Zink knew that his current situation was dangerous, and that he would probably hate it with just a few more faces.
But he still has his hole cards, and the last ability of the "Observer" that he has not yet used, is his only hope of turning the tables.
"Hey, hey, what are you thinking? There's no room for you to wander around now! β
The attack came suddenly, and at this moment when Zanke was stunned, Arowen had already crossed a distance of more than ten meters in an instant, and came to Zanke's body, the long sword in his hand waved, rolled up a fierce wind, and slashed towards Zanke.
"Hahahahaββ! Come on! Come on! Show me your size! β
Arrowan laughed uncharacteristically, his laughter full of excitement and fanaticism, and his face glowed with an abnormal red.
He didn't even activate the stealth ability of the emperor, so he rushed straight to kill, what he wanted was to fight with all his might, not one-sided slaughter.
With the blessing of the emperor, Zonke can be regarded as a strong man in his own right, and being able to fight each other with such an opponent makes his blood boil.
What's more, he simply doesn't bother to use "stealth", which is similar to cheating, to achieve victory.
The main purpose of the moment just now was to explain to Zonk the ability of "Eight Feet Crow", and now that the explanation has ended, it is time to start enjoying the long-lost frontal fight.
"Bastard! Look down on people less! β
Zank's eyes erupted with rage, and he dodged sideways, dodging the ferocious sword, while the Hidden Blade in his hand flipped over, and the two Hidden Blades converged at an extremely tricky angle to Arowen's throat.
He hadn't been so angry in a long time, and the rage almost burst in his chest.
He felt like a funny clown, despised by Arrowen from the bottom of his heart, and this humiliation made him want to break Arrowen to pieces.
"You want to kill me without using your stealth ability? No kidding! Watch me chop you into pate! I have an absolute advantage to see the future! β
Arowen sneered, leaning back slightly, and the next moment, the cold blade of the sword almost brushed against the hairs in his throat, but his pupils were terrifyingly calm, even if the sword was close to him, he did not waver in the slightest.
"If you can do it, give it a try!"
Alovin was in high spirits, his wrist flipped quickly, and a light and shadow danced in the air, and in an instant, he didn't know how many swords he slashed, and even the air made a buzzing sound.
Zonke turned on the future vision, predicting Arrowen's movements, and the two Hidden Blades danced like a whirlwind, and started a fierce white-knuckle battle with Arrowen.
The blades intersected, making the sound of gold and stone.
The battle continued, and the two were able to fight vigorously at first, attacking and defending each other.
But after more than a dozen rounds, the balance of victory has clearly tilted in favor of Arowen's side, and Zonke gradually began to be unable to keep up with Arowen's movements, so he could only helplessly defend passively.
"It's so tender! It's so tender! Is that all there is to it? Don't let me down! Decapitate Zank! β
With a backhand sword, he shook Zanke back, and then the long sword instantly returned to its sheath.
Arrowin took the posture of drawing his sword, and the momentum of the whole person instantly fell silent, as unfathomable as the windless sea.
Arowen suddenly closed his eyes, and then suddenly opened them again, and the murderous opportunity appeared.
Draw the sword, cut it obliquely, sheath it back, and it's all in one go!
Draw the sword and kill the art - God speed and slash!
A brilliant white light suddenly bloomed in this dark night, as if it were an aurora from the far north.
Magnificent, beautiful, brilliant and incomprehensible!
A sword that is extremely fast, a sword that surpasses the limits of dynamic vision, a sword that only takes the life of the enemy!
A stream of blood suddenly shot out of Zonker's throat, and the bright red liquid sprayed on the street floor, forming a shocking pattern.
Zanke struggled to swing a sword that forced Arrowen/ back, and covered his bloody throat with his hand, gasping for breath, his face filled with fear of passing by death.
"Is it too shallow?" Arrowen frowned, then chuckled, "No, you moved your body at the last moment, causing the angle of the wound to shift slightly, which is pretty good." β
Zonke was not in the mood to laugh with Arowen, after the round of confrontation just now, he once again felt Arowen's terrifying strength face to face, and sure enough, he had no chance to fight head-on.
He thought that if he relied on the ability of the "observer", he might have some hope of victory, but it seems that he really overestimated himself.
Arrowan was an ever-stronger foe, better than anyone he had ever fought against, and those previous experiences were completely useless.
Even if you can get a glimpse of Arrowen's thoughts and predict his actions, it is meaningless if your body can't keep up with his movements.
Especially the extremely fast Juhe slash, it's hard to imagine that it's a skill that people can achieve, even if you predict it, you can't dodge, and it's already the limit to do your best to avoid fatal injuries.
It's going to die, it's really going to die if it goes on like this!
Zanke gritted his teeth, a hint of cruelty flashing in his eyes.
It's going to be desperate!
He stood intently, secretly preparing to launch the Imperial Tool.
"What's wrong? Don't you attack it? Then I'm going to attack it politely! β
In the midst of laughter, Arrowan struck again, and the blade of the sword reflected the pure white moonlight, drawing an arc of the cold forest.
Now, Vision, activate!
Zanker's pupils shrank, and the emerald eyes on his forehead opened strangely, turning like living human eyes, sending chills down his spine.
An invisible fluctuation of thoughts suddenly erupted, entering Arowen's mind without hindrance.
The next moment, in Arowen's field of vision, a figure that should not have appeared here suddenly appeared.
It was a young girl, she wore a tight sleeveless dress, a thin light veil tied around her waist, and burgundy boots that covered two-thirds of her calf, outlining a beautiful curve that made people's hearts pound.
With a dignified appearance, serious and awe-inspiring eyes, and long cherry hair that is tied into a ponytail and scattered all the way to the waist, she has the temperament of a cold beauty.
"Mary...... Card? β
Arowen's expression was a little dazed, and under the effect of illusion, he even forgot that he was on the battlefield at this time, and just looked at the girl in front of him blankly, with heartfelt surprise in his eyes.
"Why did you come to the imperial capital? They didn't even notify me, it's really out of sight. β
Arrowan approached the girl's phantom, but walked defenselessly.
"It worked!"
Zonke grinned, and his nervous mood was finally completely relaxed.
Although he was once in a certain death situation, it is certain that the victory now belongs to him, and he is the ultimate winner.
Zanke slowly raised his Hidden Blade, and just like that, he watched as Arowen approached little by little.
He was so confident in this ability that he didn't think about the possibility of failure at all.
As long as it is a human being, there will be a flaw in the heart, and that flaw is the love in the heart.
No matter how powerful a warrior is, he can't do anything to someone he loves!
He was convinced of this.
Arrowen continued to get closer, and he was now within five steps of Zank.
At this distance, in just a moment, he could cut off Arowen's head.
"So, 'Black Fox' Arrowanβ"
Zanke took a heavy step forward, and the whole person burst out, and the Hidden Blade stabbed Arrowan in the throat.
"Watch the phantom of the person you love the most die!"
Time seemed to stop, and just as the blade was about to pierce Arowen's throat, his eyes suddenly regained clarity.
"Qiang ββ!"
A cold light flashed in the night, and Zanke's Hidden Blade was instantly flicked away, along with his bloodied right arm.
Suddenly suffering such a heavy blow, Zank screamed and shot back, and Arrowen just stood in place, not taking advantage of the victory.
At the moment of the confrontation, Arrowan once again launched the "Divine Speed Convergence Slash", and at this distance, no one could avoid his slash.
If it weren't for the haste in which he drew his sword, Zank would have been in a different place by now, and it was not as simple as just losing an arm.
"Oh, I was almost confused, it's dangerous. Obviously, it was a battle with the emperor's envoy, and I seemed to be a little too childish, so this time I will take it as a profound lesson to keep in mind. β
Arrowen laughed easily, but there was no smile in his eyes, only a wave of murderous intent.
Apparently, Zonker's use of Marika's apparition to confuse him has completely enraged him.
To Arovin, Marika was a very special being, and he could not tolerate anyone blaspheming her in any way, not even a phantom.
Anyone who dares to touch his scales, he will teach the other party a profound lesson.
"Why? Why can you break this illusion!? You should have seen the apparition of your beloved! β
Zanke clutched his severed arm, yelling like he couldn't accept the fact that the illusion had failed.
"It's a pretty realistic phantom indeed, and even I fell into it at first."
Arrowen's voice was as cold as the wind from the north.
"But ah, only Marika, she is the only one in this world who will not have murderous intent towards me, so the woman in front of me who wants to kill me is naturally a pseudonym......"
"No matter how realistic the phantom is, it can't replicate people's hearts, and if you miss this, it's the cause of your defeat!"
Arrowen held his sword in both hands, and his eyes flashed coldly, and he made a charging starter.
"I'm having a lot of fun with this fight, so ...... You can go to die! β
A large pit burst out at Arowen's feet, and his body burst into flames, bringing out a series of afterimages, triggering a strong change in the air current, forming a violent wind that pounced on Zonk.
"Damn! How could I have died in such a place! β
Zank roared, and the remaining arm waved violently, and the Hidden Blade wrapped around the hurricane, and with an indomitable momentum, the whole person rushed over.
"Zheng ββ!"
The two figures collided violently, and the air emitted a trembling sound of gold and iron, as piercing as the screams of ancient ferocious birds.
After the terrifying collision, the heavens and the earth suddenly fell silent, as if time had stood still at this moment, and not even a trace of wind could be heard.
The moonlight shines through the dark clouds, illuminating the dimly lit streets.
I saw Arowen and Zanke standing with their backs to each other at a distance, and the ground in the center of the two of them was densely covered with hideous cracks, which were the traces left by the battle between the two sides.
At this point, the winner is decided.
"Poofββ!"
Zanke spewed out a mouthful of blood, and the blood splattered, reflecting the night sky red.
The ominous blood light and the white moonlight blended perfectly, forming an eerie and gloomy bleak halo.
He fell straight to the ground, the dust flying in the wind.
A tearing wound stretched from Zonker's right shoulder to his left ribs, passing through the heart, which was torn to shreds, and blood gushed out like a fountain, forming a small pool of blood in a few moments.
His breath gradually weakened, and he saw that he was no longer alive.
Arrowen turned, put his sword back into its sheath, and his eyes were silent.
"You're losing."
Zanke's eyes were blank, the life in his eyes dimming a little, but he showed a look of relief.
There was an inaudible sound coming from his mouth, and if it weren't for Arowen's hearing being far beyond ordinary people, he really couldn't hear it.
"Really...... I lost......"
"Is this death......
"I can't hear the sound of hell anymore...... Pleasant...... Pleasant ......"
"Thank you...... Arrow...... Text......"
The staccato sound stopped, indicating that the "Beheaded Zank" who had made people talk about it was dead at this point.
Arowen didn't know why Zank thanked him, but the exact reason was probably conceivable.
No one is born with an evil existence, and the so-called "decapitating Zonke" is just a poor worm who has been cornered.
But Arrowen will not have mercy on him, even if there is a reason, but sin is sin, and it will not be easily forgiven for some noble reason.
It is their destiny for anyone caught up in the whirlpool of sin to have the awareness to face death at any time.
Since you're killing someone, it's not surprising that you're being killed by someone else at some point.
Reasonable, isn't it?
β¦β¦
Arowen helped Zonke close his eyes, and although he had committed unforgivable crimes, since he fought like a warrior and died, Arowen didn't mind giving him the most basic respect.
Now that "Decapitating Zank" is dead, this mission is over.
So, what's nextβ
"How long do you want to hide? Hiding there and peeping at me for so long, how about coming out and showing up if you don't mind? β
- It's time to deal with the other mice.
The people who would appear in this place at this time, judging from the information that Arowen had, did not think about anything other than the "night attack".
Tonight, it's still a long time.
