Chapter 26: Fanaticism
At the same time as the two sides went head-to-head for the first time, Roland was deeply aware that he had to kill Bernard.
Roland was convinced that it was not only he who wanted to kill Bernard, but also Bernard who wanted to kill himself.
There was no grudge between them, just that Roland simply wanted to do it.
It was not from malice, but from joy.
If there is really some kind of sticky and rotten malice between the two sides, it is impossible to feel happy when they fight.
When Roland fought the Drinker, his heart burned with pure killing intent; When Roland and Elukado fought, there was a sense of mission and obligation that lingered in their hearts; And when Roland fought with the most powerful Tyre, he could only feel a dullness that bordered on pity.
Even if his and Bernard's positions at this time are undoubtedly opposite, Roland actually understands Bernard by removing the factor of position.
In other words, the two of them are the same kind of people.
If Roland were put in Bernard's position, Roland would probably make the same choice as Bernard back then; In turn, put Bernard in Roland's position, I am afraid that the final outcome will be similar.
The moment Roland realized this, he understood why Higgs was optimistic about himself in the first place.
It's like Cyra. If Bernard hadn't chosen to believe in Twilight in the first place, he would have become very good friends with Roland by now.
However, a different position is a difference.
Up to now, almost all of the people who have died directly at Roland's hands have been because of a different position from him. There are very few people who really die because of Roland's personal anger and murderous intent.
This is true even for like-minded friends of Roland – Roland would never let Bernard water for this reason.
After all, that's just the "if". Now it is a fact that Bernard stands in front of Roland.
There was a fierce clash between the silver daggers that rained down like raindrops, and the endless swarms of snakes that emerged from the ground.
There were only two people standing, but there was a fight between the two of them. But it can be described as "war"-like fiery.
There was no clanging of metal clashes, no roaring shockwaves and explosions. But in between the two of them was a storm of flesh and blood that was enough to tear apart the army.
With Roland's prayer. Silver blades emerged from his side one by one; And the seemingly endless pitch-black snakes on the ground wrapped in dim yellow flames have not been broken.
The blade dragged a shallow silver-white flame tail down, nailing a number of small snakes to the ground in one go, and the silver-gray flames erupted from the gaps in the blades and incinerated them all; And the group of snakes with an absolute advantage in numbers can easily bite off Roland's blade in a few bites, and the snakes that dance like vines from hell are restless.
Dusk and silver-gray flames tumbled and boiled on the ground. The battle situation was momentarily deadlocked.
"Kill him, Roland—"
At this moment, the teacher's clear voice sounded behind Roland.
Suddenly, a silver-gray flame ignited from the bottom of Roland's eyes, dyeing Roland's entire eye socket pure white.
Roland could clearly feel that his will was being withdrawn.
Obviously down-to-earth. But it's like standing on the clouds. A pleasant sense of floatation pervades every cell of Roland's body, a strange illusion of drunkenness.
"Kill him!"
Roland's ears began to rumble.
As if he had heard some appeal, some order, Roland's vision became clear.
As dusk approached, everything around it was dyed a dim yellow. And Bernard, who was standing not far away, exuded a misty glimmer.
That's to lock up his enemies for Roland.
"Kill him! Kill him! ”
Roland's will began to boil.
His skin began to turn white, dark lines began to emerge, and his long hair gradually floated.
"Kill him! Rowland! ”
The sound didn't stop.
Feverish voices, angry voices, cold voices. Shouting. Whispering, roaring the same words—
"Kill him!"
The doctrine was clear, and the nature was clear—Roland looked up at Bernard.
"—Roland! Come on! ”
Bernard raised his head and shouted. A trembling and hoarse voice of agitation was heard.
He stared at Roland, cracking his mouth open, revealing fangs as sharp as a canine's teeth.
"Come on! Rowland! ”
He repeated with a sinister grin and a dry voice, "Listen to Higgs!" ”
"Just as I wish!"
Roland also shouted. A silver-white flame ignited in his eyes again.
"Mentor—"
Roland called out loudly, and a soft silver-gray light suddenly lit up from him.
It was the light of a prayer without injury.
Subsequently. Roland did not hesitate to take a step forward and launched a charge towards Bernard!
Instantly increased by a tenfold speed. Roland's figure had disappeared in front of Bernard.
The next moment, silver-white flames erupted from Roland's back, forming two blurred wings, pushing Roland forward directly!
At the same time, Roland's right forearm twisted into a silver-gray dagger.
In the first step, Roland stepped directly in the middle of the snakes. Silver-white flames burst out from where Roland had stood, and the surging waves of qi scattered the surrounding snakes.
In the next step, Roland flew directly in front of Bernard-
It was only a split second from the time Roland started charging to the moment he crashed into Bernard.
A sword that omitted the process pierced Bernard from the forehead to the nape of the neck!
Then, dense spikes grew from Roland's blade, nailing Bernard directly to the ground!
Bernard roared, ignoring the fact that his arm was caught by Roland's spikes, and against the cutting of the mercury blade, he forcibly pulled his right hand out of the ground.
Suddenly, the snakes in the ground no longer appeared. And the frost knot that had been quiet on the ground for a long time suddenly burst out, freezing the group of pitch-black snakes in place.
The blades that spawned in the air had bypassed the small snakes, directly piercing Bernard's body repeatedly until the surface of the skin was completely covered with the blades.
Then the blades began to melt, and a raging white flame ignited over Bernard's body, and Bernard's body continued to blacken, twist, and evaporate into liquid.
But by this time, Bernard's right hand was already against Roland's chest.
The next moment, countless pitch-black snake shadows that were burning with dim yellow flames that hissed and squeaked instantly passed through Roland's body!
Roland's body collapsed instantly, silver-gray blood spurted out frantically from his back, and Roland's body suddenly became thinner by more than a third.
And Roland didn't panic in the slightest.
In an inexplicable frenzy, Roland completely ignored his pain and threw a punch into Bernard's face, knocking him to the ground.
As his right hand left Roland's body, the dense snake shadow no longer penetrated Roland's body.
But then, countless small black snakes that flowed out of Bernard's right hand covered Bernard's body layer by layer like battle armor burning with dim yellow flames, and the flames were extinguished in an instant.
"Roland! Listen to Higgs—"
Bernard, despite the pain of the thousands of swords piercing his heart, flashed an equally fanatical smile at Roland.
The next moment, his damp and blurry right eye suddenly popped out of his socket, grew larger and floated behind him! (To be continued.) )
