Act 82: The Emperor and the Fool (II)
At the same time, bursts of spiritual attacks and coercion were also directly pressed against his spiritual world, and Brando only felt a blackness in front of his eyes, but he was keenly aware in his heart that the power of Dusk's will had been greatly weakened compared to before.
"Mr. Brando!" Tata shouted.
Brando understood, and he slashed forward with a sword, gritting his teeth to separate the Twilight Dragon's onslaught, and then risking serious injuries and plunged headlong into the spatial rift.
There were a few sharp cracks of sharp blades into the flesh, and his shoulders, upper arms and chest immediately exploded, and Brando wrapped his hands around his face to protect his face, and there were immediately several deep wounds on his forearms.
The sharp pain in his heart came immediately, but he didn't dare to be distracted at all, and directly rushed through the spatial crack and cut into the range of the latter's close proximity.
Twilight's will immediately took on a somewhat panicked look - she wasn't good at close combat—to be exact, not good at hand-to-hand combat with people with this body. Not to mention that at this moment, her strength was greatly weakened due to the World Crystal Wall, and she was unable to completely suppress the few Holy Beings present.
Roman immediately reached out to grab Brando, and a swirl of black energy flashed between her, as if he wanted to tear the mortal in half from the middle.
But Brando was quicker than her.
How could a master warrior be afraid of melee combat with a witch?
He threw Odysphes with his backhand, and the sword of Jin Yan immediately swirled and fell in the direction of Tiamat's law, turning into a flickering point of light in the blink of an eye. But Brando didn't have time to care about it, he immediately grabbed Roman's wrist with his free hand and flipped it outward, and the black claw marks immediately staggered past him, sweeping through the void on his right.
"Damn, let it go!" Miss Merchant screamed angrily. She lifted her big scalp shoe and kicked it at Brando.
It's almost Roman's instinctive trick. Brando had been hit more than once in Vagonde, and she couldn't do it again. The Sword of Earth came out of his hand and staggered past Miss Merchant, who had just turned her body away when Brando grabbed her ankle with his left hand, as if he had expected it.
So the will of twilight immediately fell on Brando's hand in a strange posture.
Her eyes widened in surprise, probably not expecting a mortal to dare to humiliate her like this.
But what she can't bear is still to come.
Because Brando, after grabbing her wrists and ankles. Unexpectedly, he leaned forward expressionlessly, and hugged her tightly with both hands.
At that moment, Miss Merchant' was simply stunned.
Although she didn't know why she had the feeling of 'shock', she should theoretically fight the most indifferent side of Twilight's will.
She has no feelings, she is not surprised by any surprises, her every move should be the best choice, and she will never make a mistake.
But alas.
At this moment, her mind went blank.
It's not because of the girlish shame. It's about the rage that almost overflows.
"How dare this damn bug—!?"
But just a moment of trance.
Brando was already holding his fiancée's body tightly, and with the help of gravity, he suddenly crashed back into the thin crystal wall, and when he passed through the crystal wall, he actually felt a strange feeling.
It seems that the world behind the crystal wall is the world he is more familiar with.
But it was at this moment that Roman reacted, she immediately understood what the other party was going to do, but she must not let the third circle take shape, Roman was almost immediately ready to raise his hand and throw this damn human out.
She thought with hatred in her heart: "Halanguea and Odysphes are not in your hands. I'll see what you're going to do to stop me this time! ”
However, it is precisely this time.
Twilight's eyes widened in astonishment as she saw Brando clutching herself tightly in her arms. Suddenly he threw his head back, and then slammed forward.
Bang!
The Dragon of Dusk immediately experienced the third pain since her two injuries, and it was almost more terrifying, as it came from the nightmare in the deepest part of Miss Merchant's memory.
Legend has it that it was the maximum punishment for pinching her face, and it was only when she snuck into Jorgandigon and later snuck into the carriage to Rusteta that Brando used it twice on her.
Just twice.
It was enough to make the will of twilight memorable.
It was an unforgettable blow. Although it may not have caused much damage, she felt that Venus was rising in front of her, and her whole head was buzzing, as if the heavens and the earth were turned upside down, and she could no longer distinguish the direction.
At that moment, she suddenly regretted it.
Perhaps acquire the body of a god. Not such a wise thing, these humble creatures are too far apart from the great will.
full of weaknesses......
The third slab finally rose into the sky.
It was equally brilliant, and seventeen runes appeared one by one on the pale golden circle weaved.
Destiny.
Wisdom.
Wish.
Martha's words, Martha's family, this is the mother's expectation for mortals, a gift of great will to this world.
The three magic circles took shape in an instant, they were erected, and fifty-one runes were also erected from the magic circle, as if a third dimension had been obtained from two dimensions.
Fifty-one runes circled around the Dragon of Dusk, and the light lit up one by one, and the fifty-one runes lit up, connected to each other.
The walls of the world are becoming stronger and stronger, and gradually becoming substantial, as if forming a huge crystal wall.
Brando felt that the power of the Dragon of Dusk in his arms had become weaker and weaker, and gradually became similar to Roman's, but when he looked into the latter's eyes, there was still only deep hatred in the dark vortex.
He gritted his teeth, and made up his mind that he must bring Miss Merchant back to him.
But it's precisely this time.
He saw another pale face.
Gwendoline, the queen of the dragon, was covered in blood, she was missing one hand, the other hand pressed against his shoulder, and she half-closed one bloody eye, staring at him with the remaining one.
"This is not the place you should be—"
"Go ahead, don't let Constance down."
Brando was about to say something.
Suddenly, I felt a huge surge of power. He involuntarily let go of Dusk's will, and the next moment, he felt himself pass through the world crystal wall.
There was a soft click.
The crystal, which materialized in front of him, turned into a crystal wall that stretched across the sky, blocking him and Roman, and the expression of the merchant lady seemed to be eternal for a moment. It is fixed at the last moment of crystal forming.
The dragon queen hung her head, lifeless, silently embedded in the crystal, standing beside her.
He looked up.
But I saw that the Sage, the Elven Queen, and Miss Tata were all sealed in a crystal. Colorless, transparent crystals were spreading upwards from under their feet, sealing them in like shaped amber.
"Miss Tata?" Brando was stunned.
Miss Fairy's face turned pale, as if she had used her last strength to smile at him: "Mr. Brando, it's a pity that I can't see the moment when you are crowned king, it must be a glorious and desirable scene-"
Brando froze. He watched this scene silently, but his heart suddenly remembered the scene he had seen in the tomb where Elaine, the banshee of the deer, was.
It was as if he saw the witch queen in the crystal wall, and he saw Trasiman and the strange man.
"That's ......"
"He's my father, and I know you've seen him." The Elven Queen replied, "From the moment I saw you, I understood his end, but I still want to thank you, Mr. Brando, that my answer is still the same as that of Lord Odin." We have never regretted ......"
Tata nodded weakly: "Because the supreme order is destined to be impossible for mortals, and the mission of becoming a holy person is to take care of mortals. But the order of the past must perish, and only mortals can survive this war, and we have never regretted the path that Lord Martha has taken......"
"Help me look after Emily, Mr. Brando," said the Elven Queen, somewhat weakly, "sue her." I love her ......"
Miss Fairy has been completely sealed into the crystal.
She looked at Brando, unable to make any more sound.
But there was tenderness in her eyes.
Brando seemed to see in that last look a nostalgia for the past, where there was a carefree leprechaun.
"Hello, my name is Loro-"
It was a crystalline lake, and there was a beautiful stag. There are lush woods and good memories.
"Brando," said Elranta, who was the last to speak, looking at the young man for the second time she had seen Brando. Then she said, "Don't let Saint-Osor down, she values you—"
Brando was speechless for a moment.
……
It was the last time under the sun.
The man looked at the four sages beside him and smiled helplessly:
"Elsa is an opportunity for this world, and the power is already in your hands. And the next era will be an even more humble age, and you will see that era with your own eyes, and see the last ray of light in the world of despair and annihilation—"
"And I, just a coward, would rather choose to die."
"Odin, the Cruz people are not bad, and I will prove to you that humans are not so bad. The Miner people have fallen only because you are too high-minded, arrogant and empty-eyed, and the empire has fallen like this when the ancestors handed over the power to you? ”
"Fall is inevitable." The man smiled, smiling freely: "It took thousands of years for the people of Min'er with golden blood to complete this process, and the next era will only be more desperate and humble, like a long night without light, without a trace of light." ”
"No such desperation can be heard in the nightingale's song, the wind always brings the whispers of the goddess Elaine as it passes through the forest, Lord Odin, you and Tumen-sensei are not like that, I don't see resentment in your eyes, you are reminding us-"
"No, it's not a reminder, little girl—it's just a statement, no exaggeration. Because the era will be suffocating, it will take more determination and courage to shoulder the responsibility, and the Miner people have fallen here, and will its successors be able to shoulder this heavy responsibility? ”
"I want you to be stronger than I am, wiser than I am, boys. In that way, we can see the future. Unfortunately, I don't dare to hope for it, because we have never succeeded-"
"Lord Odin, we never wanted to exterminate the Minr, mortals just want to have a place in this world, this is the recognition of history."
"Gods, do you still have zài......, Faenzan?"
“……”
"My gaze can sometimes see through the fog to see the world in foresight, it seems to be a portrayal of the end times, the kingdom and the people are struggling to survive in the dust of the mortal world, the people of the world have forgotten their honor, they have forgotten the glory of the past, they have fought each other with swords made of iron, and blood is flowing all over the wilderness - is that still the world that Martha and the ancestors wanted?"
He shook his head.
"That's not the victory I want—"
"Day and night, I can feel the pain and hesitation of the ancestors in my heart, sometimes it takes more courage to live than to die, but unfortunately I am not a hero."
"I'm just a person who can't change and is trying to struggle, and as Loga Vissa said, I'm just a complete idiot."
"Geert, St. Osor, Faenzan, Elranta, I can see your future, and so must you—"
"Odin, I never hesitated, running away doesn't solve the problem."
"You are full of courage, and Odysphes is the embodiment of your heroism, it is always indomitable, as if it shines with golden wisdom."
None of the four sages retreated.
The man closed his eyes and sighed softly.
