Act XIV Threats
"Fedridge is a monster born from the blood of Gaia's mother, and it is immortal as long as it comes into contact with dirt and rocks, and it is not so easy to die. But these people summoned it in the wrong way, it was weak, and it was no match for me at the moment. ”
A slightly indifferent, neutral voice in the void replied.
The angel Akroma does not like to speak, but that doesn't mean it can't, and as a high-ranking being of extraordinary intelligence, it understands every language in this world, whether it comes from the past, present, or future.
This is a 'knowing' ability that belongs only to the gods, and comes from one of the basic principles of the Tower of Babel.
Its voice is cold, slightly neutral, but not harsh, but rather comfortable, and you can't help but want to hear it say more.
Of course, Brando knew that this was impossible, and since Aroma was summoned, she had only said three sentences in total, and this was the third.
The first two sentences are:
"Answering your call, Promiser."
"The light is with Martha."
Brando could understand the full meaning of Akroma in his succinct words - Friedrich wasn't that easy to kill, but it was also enhanced by the 'loyalty' card, and it didn't take much effort to deal with the former.
He nodded, but reminded anyway, "But I have to remind you that the card only lasts for one phase, and there is still half an hour left, which means that you only have one chance, and you must make sure that you kill in one hit." ”
Aroma nodded.
Everyone couldn't see the person Brando was talking to, if they thought it was a madman talking to himself before, but at this moment, no one dared to think so, and even the thick-eyed girl who despised Brando the most before couldn't say anything bad at the moment.
After all, the facts are here.
The big man looked at the sword in Brando's hand suspiciously, and always felt that the sword was a little familiar.
He frowned. Probably trying to associate this familiar sword with a certain identity, and when he thought of a sword that made him feel familiar, most of the reason was that the owner of the sword was a famous person, and Brando's watch was enough to illustrate this.
However, the craftsmen of this era always liked to imitate famous swords, and knights were also keen to use fakes of those legendary famous swords, as if this was the way to show off their status, and there are so many famous swords on the market. So much so that he couldn't think of a reason for a while.
After all, he has been out of this circle for a long time.
But what he didn't know was that not far behind him, the young cultist also saw the long sword made of dark gold metal shards toothed together and with dark red cracks scattered across the surface.
The latter seemed to be scalded, and cried out in a lost voice: "Holy Sword Odysphes! ”
"What Odysphes?" The big knight subconsciously turned his head.
At this time, Brando's figure had disappeared, and when everyone heard this exclamation, they also turned around, although they were all natives of Cruz, but they didn't connect the Holy Sword Odysphes and the Flame Blade in their minds for a while.
But it was at this time that a faint light suddenly appeared in the sky. Then thousands of rays of light shot down from the clouds, and everyone had to subconsciously cover their eyes, and then squint their eyes to look in that direction, and they saw countless thunderbolts and flames, and wings spread behind a bright aura.
Such a scene is all too familiar -
Born from fire and thunder, the archangel wields the holy sword and slays the evil god Fredridge in the midst of light and sea, which is the bedside story that countless people have listened to since childhood. There are countless myths and legends on Cangzhi's poems, but this one is the source of pride in the hearts of all imperial people.
At the same time, it is also a symbol of empire. The eagle emblem of the empire is derived from the emblem on the archangel Eroma shield.
"That's Iroma!"
"Martha is above, Lord Aroma has appeared!"
People fell to their knees almost subconsciously.
But a few suddenly realized that the position of Akroma's manifestation was not the same direction that Brando had been looking at.
"That's the Holy Sword Odyspheus!"
Finally someone realized something and couldn't help but shout.
"It's the Flame Blade!"
The big knight only felt a buzzing in his head. He reacted - he finally knew why he felt familiar with the sword, which was so sacred and noble that every Imperial knight had to take a sacred oath under its promise.
"Oh my God......"
People can't help but subconsciously associate what they know with Yiqiē, and finally the only possibility takes root in their hearts and makes them feel at a loss:
"The First King Xià ......"
"Lord of the Flame is back."
"Lord of the Flame has come back to save us!"
In the midst of a frenzy of love. The thick-eyebrow girl only felt incredulous: "He is really the King of Flames?" She couldn't help but mutter, "Miss Divine Officer's lord is His Majesty the King of Fire?" ”
She felt dizzy.
……
The firelight turned Andelsa's face white, and she watched in shock, as the entire street was reduced to ashes by the previous blow, a power that no other man could grasp, as the previous visions in the sky illustrated.
She felt a slight chill in her heart, thinking that the city was really blessed by Eroma as the Cruz people claimed, and she didn't want to believe it, but there seemed to be no way to explain the scene before her.
The patriarch curled her stiff knuckles slightly, and subconsciously retreated into the shadows, although she was arrogant, she also had self-knowledge—how could mortals interfere in the battle between gods?
The archangel with the holy sword has descended into the world, and she must tell the dragon queen about the situation here.
Not far away, Brando watched the woman retreat into the alley, only then did she disarm the refraction and descend from the sky, and followed without saying a word.
He saw Andelsa come to a ruin, pushed open the charred wooden beams and walked in, she walked through the ruins, and soon came to a narrow room, though it was now so burned that even the outer walls had collapsed, and then a vine reached out of her hand and nailed it to the ground. Pull it up, and a secret door will be pulled up from the ground.
Seeing this scene, Brando raised his eyebrows, since Alka's accusation that the cultists had mastered many secret passages, he had expected that this woman would use these secret passages, otherwise it would be difficult for her strength to be haunted in Rusta City.
Andresa's strength, although not weak, is in the center of power in the empire. But you can't do what you want.
After Andesa opened the secret door, she cautiously glanced left and right, her main concern was the archangel in the sky, and after seeing that the other side was not chasing, she cautiously breathed a sigh of relief, and prepared to go down the dark passage.
But it was at this moment that she felt a slight chill on her neck, and the bright and dangling blade of Odefis appeared there.
The beautiful woman's face froze slightly, and she realized that she didn't even know how Brando had approached her.
For Brando, the answer is simple. He has a monster boss template that can assimilate monsters' perceptions, and cultists have always been counted with monsters in the game, so this ability also works.
"We're meeting again, Ms. Andessa." He spoke.
Andesa rolled her eyes, and just as she was about to say something, she saw the young man in front of her smile, and then reached out and grabbed her wrist - she was startled. I subconsciously wanted to retreat, but I felt as if my hand was being clamped by a pair of iron tongs. Immobile.
What made her even more horrified was that she found that after the thread of her law flickered, it disappeared completely, and this discovery almost frightened her soul, and she hurriedly sank her mind into the spiritual world, only to find that she really couldn't feel the power of any element.
"What did you do to me!" Andesa screamed in horror. She couldn't help but panic. Without the power of the element, her strength can almost be said to have regressed to the gold level, or at most a little stronger.
Brando smiled, this was the ability of space-time control, he just isolated Andesa from the senses of the space-time around her. This isolation would not last more than a second for Cunzài, who was stronger than him, but for Andesa at this moment, it should not be any problem to last for a few minutes.
It was only after obtaining this ability that Brando realized how terrifying the Existence Zài Sex Element was, this element was almost overwhelming for the Existence Zài whose strength level was the same as his, and the blank period of tens of seconds was enough for him to kill any enemy, the only regret was that for the time being, he still needed to contact the other party first to use this ability.
However, this is not particularly demanding for a melee class.
What's more, the ability of the element is constantly strengthened, who knows if this ability can be released remotely in the future?
"Your mind is only in the middle and lower reaches of the Patriarchate, but it often goes back on its word, and I have to beware that you deceive me, so I have to make this decision, Lady Andessa." Brando replied, "I just sealed your ability, and whether you can get it back depends on your attitude." ”
"How can you seal my abilities?" Andesa was terrified, completely forgetting how arrogant she was in the Ring of the Trade Winds, losing her abilities, and all she had left was hundreds of years of knowledge more than the average person.
But this insight obviously had no effect in the current situation, and she was simply unheard of of what was happening in her body.
Brando heard something in her tone, and said with a smile: "It seems that your lord has hidden a lot of things from you, she didn't tell you what happened in the White Rose Garden, if I'm not mistaken, you shouldn't know the arrival of Akroma, let alone the reason for the Silver Queen's defeat——"
"What does the coming of Akroma have to do with you?" Andesa looked at the young man in front of her with a look of jealousy: "Of course I know that the Silver Queen will fail, her failure is doomed, what the gods and people couldn't do back then, she can do it if she tries to reopen the Truth Council?" It's ridiculous. ”
"But you didn't tell her about that, did you, you even lied to your allies." Brando shook his head, "Also, I'm talking about - you don't know the reason for the Silver Queen's defeat, she has actually reopened the Council of Truth. ”
"That can't be, you-" Andesa suddenly stopped, and Brando even heard her teeth gurgle, "You—you're really the Dark Dragon......?" ”
"You're thinking too much, Ms. Andessa." Brando couldn't help but laugh, he shook his head and replied, "But my authority is far higher than that of the Silver Queen, obviously Gwendoline knew about it, but she didn't tell you, it seems that your relationship with her is no closer than the relationship between the Silver Queen and her, maybe you will be the next to be sold, right?" ”
"She wasn't obligated to sue us ...... in the first place"
"Then you don't have to put your life on the line for her, do you?"
"Nope." Andesa frowned and shook her head: "If you want to kill me, I won't frown, but I must not sabotage this plan-"
Brando was surprised to see what he called idealism in the eyes of this malevolent woman, although he had known that the Shepherds had splintered from the World Ring and that its predecessor was the Ring of Ashes, he had thought that these people had long forgotten what their predecessors were looking for.
Unfortunately, even if these people have other intentions, their actions are still despicable.
Thinking of this, the look on his face gradually became cold, and the sword in his hand also approached Andresa's neck: "Plan, what plan, is it related to Roman?" ”
"It's about that little girl," Andesa looked at him resentfully, "but you can't save her, you can't save her, if you save her, everyone will die." ”
"yes, then you'd better sue me." Brando coldly threatened.
"You don't want me to say half a word."
"Very good, I'll give you three counts of time, if you don't sue me, I'll let Akroma sacrifice herself, attack indiscriminately and kill the evil god Fdridge directly, I believe you spent so much effort to summon it not to accompany me to do the hide."
"No, you can't do that, why would Akroma listen to your orders!"
"Of course I can do that, because I'm a traveling mage, and I'm sure you've guessed it, Aroma was summoned by me, and even if she sacrifices herself, I will be able to resurrect her again."
There was horror in Andessa's eyes, and she said in an almost pleading tone, "No, you can't do that, you're going to kill everyone, and even if you do, you won't be able to save your fiancée." ”
"You know that's my fiancée," Brando was unmoved, "I'll give you a chance to convince me, and I'll only count three times before then." ”
"Three."
"Two."
