Chapter 216: Decay

The Holy Sword took a deep breath, and his mood gradually calmed down.

He pulled an arrow from the quiver behind him and placed it on the bowstring...

In front of the Holy Sword, there was an open space, and there was nothing to use as a target.

The area was so wide that even the Holy Sword could see the small forest behind the horizon.

He's a weapon... Not only the body but also the soul.

He should have been as dexterous as he was to control his own body with any form of weapon.

But...... He couldn't do it anymore.

Though the perception was still sharp, and the target placed in the grove far behind the horizon was still alive and well, with the power to allow the arrow to pierce the target that was placed beyond the horizon.

Compared with the years when he was an Adventist, now he can be described as weak, which can be regarded as praise.

People grow old, and swords decay.

Even though he used his youthful appearance to cover himself, the feeling of his body gradually rusting became clearer and clearer.

At the fingertips of the holy sword, scorching sparks erupted, and the holy sword let go of the fingers that were holding the strings of the arrows......

A roaring sound resounded around the Holy Sword the moment the arrow was fired.

The air was completely torn apart by the powerful impact, squeezing everything around it, and the ground was crushed into irregular cracks.

With the destructiveness that pierces everything, the arrows shoot at the bullseye hidden beneath the horizon.

The arrows pierced the target, and the massive impact shattered the ground to pieces... At the same time, the fragile target was completely destroyed.

“……”

After the holy sword shot this arrow, he silently put down the bow and arrow in his hand that had been damaged to the point that he could not use, and looked at his hand in a daze.

However, applause suddenly rang out behind the holy sword.

He turned around, and his master didn't know when he was already standing behind him.

"Beautiful blow, Thousand Illusions. Right in the bull's-eye. ”

Although the arrow completely destroyed the target the moment it touched it, Cerseiri could completely conclude by relying on her own sense that the arrow of her holy sword just now could definitely be rated as ten points.

"I... I wanted to shoot at the walls of the glow-in-the-dark city behind this grove. The Holy Sword said a little gloomily, "But it doesn't seem like it can be done." ”

As the Marshal of the Starry Night, Cecily certainly knows where the Luminous City is.

This area is a wilderness not far from the starry night...

If people come here and talk about the glow-in-the-dark city, they're going to be a couple of weeks away. Topics like ''You can definitely go to the glow-in-the-dark city in less than three weeks'.

Because even with convenient transportation, Starry Night Yang is far away from that city, but it can still be described as far away.

In the eyes of outsiders. The archery technique that the Holy Sword had just displayed was definitely at an inhuman level.

But only he knew how weak he was.

Knowing the world differently, looking at oneself in a different way... The same is different.

In the eyes of the world, perhaps the Holy Sword has become so powerful that it is unreasonable.

But in the eyes of the Holy Sword himself, his current self is weak and pitiful.

"Sure enough, I still can't keep up with that monster?"

The holy sword clenched his hands.

This is something that has to be admitted.

He's old...

He is no longer able to arbitrarily judge whether a world has the value of existence as before.

The moment he gave up his identity as an Adventist, he lost a lot. The power of being a god, the right to control all the worlds, the same status as that guy, no... The ability to match that monster.

Time has ruthlessly drained his remaining strength... Albeit slowly. The feeling of decay is always with him.

Originally, Sacred Sword didn't care about this kind of thing, but he met that monster again.

The guy who gave him everything and took everything away from him.

This is not the most terrifying thing that makes the Holy Sword.

The thing that scares the Holy Sword the most is... For thousands of years. That guy... Nothing has changed at all!

It was as if time had stood still in him, or time had long since surrendered completely to him and left him to do whatever he wanted.

From 'this is the only person in the world who can be relied on' to 'I will kill you at all costs', these two concepts have changed from comrades-in-arms to enemies. Until now... He hasn't changed at all.

The Holy Sword's body is now extremely weak, and he no longer even has the strength to confront him.

So... His arrival made the Holy Sword feel fear.

And just when the body of the Holy Sword trembled slightly, Cexili, who was standing beside the Holy Sword, hugged the petite body of the Holy Sword in her arms.

"It's okay, Thousand Illusions... Just take care of the children obediently. Cecily whispered in her holy sword's ear.

Huh... Wait a minute......

Shouldn't the dialogue at this time be, 'I'm always there for you?' 'What the hell is it to take a child obediently!'

Anyway, I usually take the two bear children out, and passers-by will always recognize the two bear children as children!

When it comes to the sad Holy Sword, I feel an inexplicable pain in my chest.

But after being comforted by his master, the Holy Sword felt a little better in his inner turmoil.

"Your Royal Highness, have they returned home?" Holy Sword asked his master.

"Well, I've asked Seven Nights to recall." The seven nights that Cexili was referring to, but the empress of this country, after Cexili was silent for a while, asked, "Thousand Illusions, is there really no other way?" Save those civilians in Yaoyangdu? ”

"I'm not sure what he's going to do." Holy Sword tried to recall, I don't know how long ago I remembered: "That guy does everything very casually, there is almost no plan to speak of, because he is too strong, the strong world is like a toy, there is no value, if he is silent now, maybe he won't do it, but once the civilians are evacuated on a large scale, he... But definitely something will be done. ”

The Holy Sword turned and looked at his master.

"I know you can stand up to that guy, my lord, but you can't protect the civilians... Your fight with him will only make the world even more devastated. ”

“……”

Cecily nodded, she was no longer the hot-blooded knight Ji she used to be, and now she was more mature and stable.

"But... I'm still going to go to Yaori. ”

Holy Sword said, pinching a pendant on his chest.

"Did you make a break? It really feels like the plot of a novel. "Cerseily made a rare joke.

"Forget it, I just want to owe Yao Ri a favor to the two princesses." "I know what that guy wants, but I'm not going to let him get his way," said Sacred Sword. (To be continued......)
