Chapter 2042: Decisive Victory in the Ring (25)

I don't know how long it has been.

"Ugh!" Zhalfir suddenly woke up from his nightmare, and when he opened his eyes, he found himself lying in the British battleship's infirmary.

"Wake up?" The first thing the Leopard Young saw when he woke up was the face of the Knight King Arthur, although the current King Arthur wore a half-covered silver mask to hide his eyes.

＂...... Race...... What's the result of the game?" asked Zhalfir nervously as soon as he woke up.

"Don't be nervous, the result of the game is that you win. The Knight King looked at Zhalfir intently, as if there was something in his words: "You can't think of anything anymore?"

The leopard man shook his head, trying to remember. His memory was shattered by the final blow he had delivered against Palamides, and he couldn't remember anything after that.

"It doesn't matter if you can't remember it now, just go back and think about it slowly. "Anyway, congratulations on making it to the finals." In this way, the distance between the two brothers and the realization of their dreams has been shortened a lot. ＂

"Uh...... Well. Zhalfir replied vaguely. His head was swollen and aching, rather than all over his body, as if his body had already become fragmented and was later forcibly sewn back by someone else with needles and threads.

He gasped and asked in a low voice, "Where's Daddy?"

"No need to worry, Paramidis is alive. The Knight King got up from his chair: "But he's seriously wounded." ＂

The leopard youth was silent for a moment.

"Don't care. King Arthur went on to say, "If this is what you have to do in order to make your dreams come true, then so be it." I'm sure Palamides will understand. No...... It's because he understands that he will let you win. You have a father who loves you very much, and you're lucky, Zhalfir. ＂

"Hmm...... The leopard man replied vaguely. He had a feeling that he had done something bad. But that was all in the past, and when someone told him not to care, he advised himself not to care.

"Vivien will bring little Hal over tonight, and your family should get together together. The Knight King said as he walked out of the door of the infirmary, "Take a break, I won't bother you." ＂

He was just about to push the door and leave, but suddenly he thought of something, and turned to ask the leopard man: "Zhalfir, what is your real wish? Do you really want to resurrect your mother? You should know that even if we interfere with Morgoth and make her make an artificial person exactly like your mother, that artificial person is just an imposter who transplants your mother's memories and looks exactly like your mother. It is impossible to resurrect the dead, you are only deceiving yourselves. Doing so not only hurt Vivien, but also made Palamides' situation very awkward. Do you really, no matter what the cost, you have to do that?"

＂...... Well. The leopard man youth sighed, "...... It's one thing if I can see my mom again. I want Segrade to see his mom Meow again. I took my mother out of his hands forever, so ...... This sin...... I have to carry the meow. ＂

The expression on King Arthur's face changed subtly, but he remained silent.

"You two brothers are indeed the same people. He said.

One is to atone for his sins and return what he took away to his younger brother. The other is to make amends and give him what his brother never had. However, what they really want for themselves does not exist at all.

How stupid it is to live for others, to fight desperately for others, to hurt others for the sake of others.

However, the Knight King Arthur did not directly expose all this, he waited for the two brothers Zhalfir and Segrade to wake up on their own. For the two young leopard people, this may be the obstacle they have to go through and overcome as they grow up.

Time goes back to the last moment of that battle.

"Ah------------------------h The mighty spear shone with a fiery red glow.

"Ah------------------------h The Black Moon God's steel scimitar, which had been enchanted, emitted a pale frost breath.

The three weapons collided together, emitting a devastating scream. Everything around them began to shake and tear, sliced open by the constant burst of red beams, frozen by the white cold that leaked out wildly.

Then, the decisive moment appeared.

Cracked like glass, then shattered into countless white shards and flew out, destroying the Black Moon Steel Scimitar in Zhalfir's hand. The scattered fragments lifted the enchantment, and the black, translucent "glass" turned back into its original dull and thick iron mass, and fell to the ground with a low echo!

And the Meteor Spear Eternal Gunir pierced through Zhalfir's chest, piercing deep and then piercing out from behind!

"Ugh!" the leopard youth spat out a mouthful of blood.

"That's the end of it. Palamides whispered, "I'm sorry, Daddy isn't going to let you win right now, stinky boy." ＂

"That's right...... And that's the end of the meow. Zhalfir grabbed the Meteor Gun in one hand and reached out to his father with the other. There was a light in his eyes that was going out, but at the moment when the light went out, the corners of his mouth suddenly lifted slightly upward, revealing a sneer.

Boom. His fist landed on Palamides' lower abdomen. The Luna Steel Throwing Knife had been retracted, and that muffled punch was not only the damage caused by the Luna Steel Finger Tiger, but also the damage caused by the five pyramid-shaped throwing knives that pierced deep into Palamides' lower abdomen.

"Huh......" The leopard-man warrior snorted, sensing something was wrong.

"Fall down, Dad...... I will...... Segrade and I will ...... Meow beyond you. The leopard man muttered in a low voice, then clenched his fists.

Something began to swell in the sub-division of Palamides.

Boom!------ The moment it expands to its limit, it explodes. The last bit of explosive essential oil buried deep in the Luna Steel Throwing Knife was ignited by Zhalfir, and it was it that caused the explosion. The power of the explosion doesn't seem to be amazing, but the Luna Steel Throwing Knife is poked into Palamides' body and then implodes, and this internal explosion can destroy most of the Leopard Warrior's internal organs in an instant!

"Uhhhh Flesh was flying, and a huge hole appeared in his lower abdomen, which looked like an extremely fatal injury. Palamides is a verdant knight, and his ability to heal himself may eventually help him repair his missing internal organs and bring him back to life. However, the damage to the internal organs is much more difficult to repair than the external injury, and this kind of injury is not good to lie down for a whole day, and it is estimated that it will not be completely repaired!

"Hmm...... Zhalf-Fer knelt on the ground and looked at his father, who had been blown away, with a pale smile. Injured to that extent, Palamides should have been unable to stand up. The battle was won by Zhalfir.

Or maybe not.

"Woo------" Palamides forced himself up from the ground, his golden light shining brighter and brighter, and emitting a crackling electric light. The part of the wound in his abdomen was blocked by some strange petrification phenomenon, forcibly postponing the problem of bleeding and loss of internal organs.

Palamides' slumber during these seven years was not completely meaningless, his physique was not only the physique of the emerald knight, but also similar to the physique of an undead who had been cured by petrification, and he was still able to use this level of stone skin magic. His wounds solidified and became as hard as a stone, temporarily unaffected by his movements. The aftermath of this is to wait until the battle is over to worry about it.

"Damn......" Zhalfir spat out a mouthful of blood, instantly surrounded by despair. If he couldn't defeat his father with that level of attack, his father, Palamides, would probably not be able to be defeated. The zero-distance explosion on the finger tiger just now not only affected Palamides, but also had a fatal effect on Zhalfir's hand, the explosion had caused his left arm to blur his flesh and blood, and the wound could almost see Sensen's white bones. There were no weapons he could use, only one arm left, and a spear pierced on his chest, bleeding constantly. He knew he had managed to sustain the fight.

But he doesn't plan to give up. Stubborn, he was instantly swallowed up by the darkness that welled up from his body.

The leopard man young man who was half-kneeling in front of Palamides was changing. He turned into a beast, a cheetah haunted by the black air.

Palamides frowned. Everything was exactly the same as that fateful day, except that the darkness on Zhalfir was not as thick as it had been at the beginning. Shouldn't the shadow in the leopard man's body have been completely removed?

Or is it that Zhalfir was such a monster from the beginning, and was transformed into such a monster. Whether or not he has been infected with Shadows, the essence of his monster will not change?

Whoosh! The meteor spear that was supposed to pierce Zhalfir's chest was pulled out by the monster wrapped in black gas and thrown at Palamides like a weapon. However, it was the Leopard Warrior's own weapon, and it was impossible for it to hurt the Leopard Warrior, and at the moment when it was about to hit Palamides, the Meteor Spear turned its head around, shook it for a moment, and returned to the big cat's hand.

Zhalfir ...... Palamides wasn't in great shape, but he knew it was his duty to stop his son...... Again. In order to prevent Zhalfir from being swallowed up by darkness again.

The beast swooped down on the leopard-man warrior, and the leopard-man warrior leaped high, raising the ancient artifact in his hand and stabbing at the monster for a final battle with it. The golden light confronted the dark black mist, and exploded in that instant!

Then, whether it was light or darkness, it was all gone.

"Uh......h The monster lifted the change and returned to his original form as a leopard youth, lying on the ground, but still struggling.

Palamides was half-kneeling with a gun, squinting at his son and at Zhalfir, who was struggling in pain.

"I surrender. Palamides whispered, as if he didn't want his son to hear it.

However, the Bee Golem, who was watching the whole battle, unreservedly reported Palamides' words to the exam organizers. Half a second later, King Arthur's voice came from the Bee Golem: "Are you sure, Palamides?"

"I'm sure. The leopard warrior sighed, "Probably, if I don't surrender, that kid will get up again and again." I don't have that much energy to spend with him. That's it. ＂

"Then ------" It took a few more seconds to confirm before the Golem came from the Knight of the Round Table Kador's announcement: "The game is over." Knockout Group 2, Match 3, Winner, Sefer Palamides!"

As if hearing the verdict of the organizers, the leopard youth stopped struggling, and Zhalfir fainted.

"It was a good game. Palamides whispered, and the last thing he saw in his narrowed eyes was his son, lying on the ground, dying.

The golden glow on the big cat's body completely faded, but the leopard warrior did not change back to his black nature, but turned into a gray stone statue.
