Act VI. Choice
"Your Highness the Princess!"
Just cast the magic barrier to resist a frosty breath of the Frozen Dragon, and the white mist has not yet dissipated. Erwin saw the worst. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Princess Elyfils fell in mid-air, apparently unconscious due to the impact, and her magically strengthened leather armor uniform was also tattered, if it weren't for that dress, I'm afraid that the current princess would have been crushed to pieces and turned into mountain dust.
However, the situation at the moment is also quite bad, just falling off the cliff, waiting for Her Royal Highness the princess, is also the fate of death.
He wanted to use the flash spell to save Her Royal Highness, but Erwin mobilized his magic power and found an embarrassing situation.
I'm running out of mana.
If he simply goes back and forth alone, it will be fine, but if he comes back with another person, he will not have enough mana reserves. All you can do is teleport to Her Royal Highness by yourself, and then use the last bit of magic to teleport the princess back to the ground.
As for himself who has no magic power, he can only fall into the mountains instead of Her Royal Highness the Princess.
And losing themselves, whether the rest of the people can resist the Ice Frozen Dragon is another question.
On the other hand, taking advantage of the fact that the Ice Dragon's attention is not on his side, if he uses the remaining magic power to pour all of it on the Ice Dragon, he should be able to at least repel the other party, but in that case, it is equivalent to directly giving up saving Her Royal Highness the Princess.
Whether the lives of Her Royal Highness the Princess were more important, or the lives of the remaining thousands of soldiers, this difficult choice question was placed in front of Erwin, and he felt that the study of the past few decades seemed to have lost all meaning in an instant, and in the end, he still could not perfectly answer such a simple question.
After thinking for a split second, Erwin came up with the answer.
Driving the magic, the world strings converged in the palm of his hand, and the scorching wind whipped the blazing flames, bringing out the crimson flame spear.
He chose the life of a soldier.
I'm sorry, Your Highness the Princess.
I believe that Her Royal Highness the Princess will also be able to understand herself, and I believe that if it were Her Royal Highness the Princess, she would definitely choose such an answer, Erwin apologized in his heart to Princess Elyfils, who was unconscious.
Then, the Flaming Lance is thrown!
It was the fire of the abyss, enough to devour everything, and the magic spear went straight through the right chest of the Ice Dragon, melting the frozen ice, piercing the frosty scales, causing the Ice Dragon to let out a heart-rending howl, and even the snow of the Pamir Mountains that had not melted all year round seemed to shake off for it.
Falling to one side, the Ice Dragon, like a drunken man, fell to the top of the mountain, flapping its wings desperately in an attempt to regain its balance, but repeatedly failed due to wounds on its body.
However, Erwin's eyes were not set on the Ice Dragon.
He stared at Her Royal Highness the Princess, who was at the same height as the Ice Dragon, and clenched his fists, his chest full of self-blame and guilt.
Erwin still remembers the first time he met Princess Eliefils, who came to the Trestan Fortress as a hostage given by the royal family to the lord, and Her Royal Highness the princess, who was not yet ten years old, already looked like an adult, completely devoid of the jerkiness and naivety of her peers.
Erwin taught Her Royal Highness the princess for five years as a teacher, and he was often amazed by the princess's quick thinking, and even wanted to take her as an apprentice more than once. Of course, the rule that people from the royal family could not learn magic eventually made him dismiss this idea, but soon, he discovered the princess's talent in swordsmanship, so he tried his best to teach her highness swordsmanship.
And now, he has given up on his students, whether as a teacher or as a magician, Erwin has broken his oath.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess......"
"Your Highness the Princess!"
Just as Erwin sighed, another call came from beside him.
It was the youth.
Erwin was about to stop Shiloh, but Shiloh had no intention of stopping, and in a matter of moments, he had jumped off the cliff.
"Mr. Ian Gray!"
Erwin didn't expect that this young man would value Her Royal Highness the princess so much, and was even willing to give up his life, and he was stunned for a while.
The beautiful conversation between the princess and the knight is spread in the dreams of all the children of the Atlas continent, but like the one in front of him, there are not many who practice it with their lives, and most of the noble knights that Elwin has seen are greedy for pleasure, and have long forgotten the oath made by the sages, and only act for their own ugly desires.
Even he hesitated for a long time.
"Your Excellency, Archmage, are we going to send someone down the mountain to find Her Royal Highness......
Beside him, the panicked Viscount Carter asked tremblingly.
"There are still pursuers behind us, we don't have time......"
Erwin put away all his feelings and said in a calm tone.
"The order goes down, Her Royal Highness the princess in order to save everyone, unfortunately fell off the cliff and died in the battle with the ice dragon, as for us, ......"
After a pause, he glanced at the two of them who were gradually getting smaller and smaller between the cliffs.
"Keep going."
――
And Shiloh, he didn't think too much, and when he came back to his senses, his body was already moving.
With one last leap, he was able to quickly approach the falling princess, and then, in the howling wind, Shiloh held out his hand.
Once, twice, three times.
Finally, on the fourth occasion, he managed to grab the right hand of Her Royal Highness the Princess, who had lost consciousness.
Using all his strength, pulling the petite girl into his arms, Shiloh instinctively hugged Her Royal Highness the princess and adjusted the position of the two to his own state.
In his field of vision, a red light flashed constantly, which represented a warning, and Shiloh knew that it was a fall alarm.
He saw that the Ice Dragon in the distance was also falling, and the dark blue viscous liquid continued to overflow from its right chest, which turned into ice crystals in the air, and under the light of the noon sun, it transformed into a brilliant rainbow.
Shiloh didn't have time to appreciate it, he knew that if he landed like this, even if he had ten lives, he wouldn't be enough to die, you know, falling to his death in the Pamir Mountains is a common mistake made by newcomers.
After the recent temple was resurrected, they had to run back to find their corpses, pick up the equipment and items in their backpacks, and therefore need to go down again, which led many novices to repeat the cycle of falling to their deaths, picking up corpses, and continuing to fall to their deaths, leaving piles of bones under the cliffs of the Pamirs, which was another gruesome sight.
There is no temple in this world that can resurrect him, Shiloh's brain was racing, and finally his eyes fell on the broken sword in the hands of Her Royal Highness the Princess.
Grabbing the hilt of his sword, he relied on the movement of his limbs in mid-air to adjust his position, and then, thrust the broken sword into the frozen rock wall!
Wow -
Shiloh felt that his hand suddenly felt as if it was about to break, and at the same time, the ice on the rock wall was also pulled apart by the blade of the sword, a long crack, fortunately, this is the weapon of the royal family of Aster, after magic treatment, it is much stronger than ordinary swords, otherwise I am afraid that the moment it touches the rock wall, it will be completely shattered.
On the side of the field of vision, the health value is rapidly decreasing, and at the same time, the chaos value is also soaring, if it continues like this, before the bottom of the cliff, his health will be exhausted, Shiloh roughly calculated, and then cast a divine light spell on himself.
A big 74 popped out of his eyes.
Critical !!
Thanks to the goddess's favor, at this moment of crisis, he actually let Shiloh's divine light technique cause a critical hit.
The blood bar, which had been gradually reduced to less than half, was suddenly filled, and Xi Luo looked at the remaining holy energy, counting the natural recovery, he could cast the Divine Light Technique at most twice, and if he couldn't land safely during this time, then he could only accept his fate.
Bang dang -
In the distance, the Frozen Dragon landed heavily on a jutting rock, raising a huge smoke screen, and its heavy body froze away from Shiloh's vision.
"It's almost the end......"
Seeing that his blood volume was almost bottoming out, Shiloh cast the Divine Light Technique again, but this time he was not so lucky, and only recovered 37 health points, but at this time, his talent showed its effect.
Residual Light increases the amount of healing by 20% and takes effect gradually, which is better than nothing in a normal battle, but in this situation, it is precious.
At the same time, the effect of the Gift of Faith in reducing the chaos value also keeps his chaos value at a relatively low level.
Unlike health and mana resources, chaos can be said to be a thing that only has a negative effect, in battle, this value will gradually increase as damage is received, and after the chaos value increases, it will have many adverse effects on the character, such as a certain chance of failure in casting, the reduction of skill effects is normal, when the chaos value is higher than 90, the character will even start to attack everyone uncontrollably and indiscriminately, so even in the late game, the gift of faith is a mandatory talent for prayer as a healing.
In his arms, there was the sound of Her Royal Highness the princess's gentle breathing, such a contact would be enough for Shiloh to be excited for three nights and not be able to sleep for three nights, but now he had no time to think about this, his mind was full of information about the terrain at the bottom of the Pamir Mountains.
If this is the same as "Rainbow Verse", then in about half a minute, the two will reach the bottom of the cliff, where although they don't have to worry about the attack of wild beasts, if they want to get out, they have to borrow the Frost Mine dungeon, Shiloh is not sure if he can slip through without attracting the attention of the boss, but at present, it seems that there is no other way.
As he was thinking, there was an unusual feel from the long sword in his hand, and the frost-blue crystal wall disappeared, replaced by a dark brown rock, and Shiloh knew that he had reached the bottom of the cliff.
Looking at the last bit of holy energy left, he cast the Will Barrier, and at the same time flipped his body to protect Princess Elips in his arms, and in the next second, Shiloh's back touched the solid earth.
The impact caused a stream of rust-smelling blood to rush into his mouth, and even with the protection of the Will Barrier of High Will, the fall still slashed more than a third of his health.
Shiloh looked at the short 12/100 on one side of his vision, and felt dizzy, and then, the original calm and composure disappeared, followed by a rapid beating of his heart, nausea of blood rushing to his brain, and then his consciousness quickly faded away.
The last thing Shiloh saw was the peaceful sleeping face of Her Royal Highness.
