β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
At the same time, the thief Sass and the captive female elf shooter who were hiding in the grass also saw the scene of Roland's death.
Both of them were filled with endless amazement, staring blankly at the scene on the snow not far away, falling into a deathly silence.
Hahaha, it's been a long time since you waited for this moment, that hateful guy is finally dead!
Unlike the sadness and death in Sas's heart, the female elf archer felt extremely excited at this time, and her heart continued to burst into crazy laughter.
"Mr. Roland is dead...... Do you want to avenge him? β
The thief Sass looked at Esmond lying in the snow not far away, and the thought of avenging Roland had in his heart.
Although Roland was only his employer, after all this time together, Sass had come to regard the somewhat strange pastor as his friend.
But just as he was about to use his twin blades to avenge Roland, a mutation caught his attention.
Looking closely/, I saw that the lantern on Roland's corpse slowly floated and emitted a dazzling blood-red light, which looked very weird.
So what's going on?
Sass hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to observe the next development before making a decision.
The blood-colored glow shone like a small sun, illuminating the surrounding area, covering all objects exposed to the light in a cloak of blood.
But it didn't take long for an extremely strange thing to happen.
I saw that Roland's "corpse" melted into a pool of blood under the reflection of blood-colored light. The snow seeping into the ground turned the entire area a blood-red color.
However, the matter did not end there, the blood that seeped into the ground seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, and slowly drifted towards the void, forming an extremely large ball of blood in a short time.
"What's going on? A mutation of something, or is it Roland's backmove? β
Esmond's eyes were wary as he looked at the large blood ball. He sat up slowly with his weak body, ready to dodge the strange big blood ball.
After floating in the void for a while, the blood-colored ball began to crumble, as if it were peeling an egg, and it collapsed from the outer layer and fell to the ground little by little, forming a bright red bloodstone block.
But the next scene completely filled Esmond's heart with shock and fear.
Seeing the gap exposed as the big blood cell collapsed, Esmond was horrified to find that a familiar figure had appeared inside.
He wasn't mistaken. Roland, who should have died, appeared inside the Great Blood Cell.
Hasn't that guy been split in half by his blade? How could it be reborn, isn't that guy named Roland human.........
A crazy speculation immediately appeared in the minds of Esmond and Saas, after all, such a miracle as resurrection from the dead can only be accomplished by gods.
As the large blood cell completely collapsed, Roland's body was also exposed to the air, standing like a puppet on the snow.
"Whew!"
Suddenly, Roland woke up from a nightmare, his fists clenched together. Frightened eyes kept looking around.
When he found that there was still silence in the snow around him, Esmond sat weakly on the ground. I couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
In that time, Roland had experienced a journey of death that only the dead could experience, every qiΔ was so real, the sharp blade cut through his body, the pain and dissatisfaction lingered in his heart, followed by endless darkness and loneliness.
"Oh my God. I'm alive...... It's amazing, is this the effect of blood rebirth? β
Recalling the scene of death just now, Roland felt a deep fear.
He looked at the lantern in his hand that shone with a faint red light, if it weren't for it, he was afraid that he would have really stepped into the graveyard of death.
It is because of this passive skill of the Lamp of Morpheis. He can get a chance to be born again.
But after using this passive skill, it has fallen into a dim state, and it is estimated that if Roland wants to use it again, he may have to find a way to make it light up.
"But that was the inheritance skill just now? Damn ......"
When Roland's heart eased, he immediately turned his gaze to Esmond, who was sitting in the snow.
This is the guy who almost made him die, and he must not be given a chance to rest, even if the other party is already an ordinary person, the risk is still there, just like that time just now.
"Summoning the commander of the army, the elite soldiers of Van Doreen, arrest him, and bring him over."
Roland exhaled a breath of turbid air in his chest and summoned Van Doreen's elite soldiers and army commanders in one breath.
As his order fell, two of Van Doreen's elite soldiers stepped out of the ranks.
They grabbed Esmond's arms and lifted him in mid-air, slowly pushing him in front of Roland, waiting for orders to come down.
"General Esmond, your final blow surprised me, but...... Now it looks like I won. β
Roland took the blade of the guard commander in one hand, placed it on Esmond's neck, and said coldly.
It must be said that Esmond's final attack surprised and frightened Roland, and it made him feel like he was in touch with real death.
Because it is the strongest skill inherited from epic-level creatures, it can reflect the illusion of epic creatures, which is extremely rare even in the game.
But in the game's plot, Esmond hasn't mastered this skill at all.
Since he can use it at this time, the only thing that can be explained now must be that Roland's butterfly wings have caused some kind of change in history.
"Yes, I am also amazed by Mr. Roland's ability...... I'm convinced, come on! End my life with the blade in your hand, this is the last glory of a warrior. β
There was no fear of death in Esmond's eyes, only a faint helplessness.
Indeed, Esmond only lost to Roland's buggy resurrection skill, and if it weren't for this skill, he would have been the winner.
"Alas.................."
Roland looked at the general of the Black Iron Shield, couldn't help but sigh, raised the blade in his hand, and then fell.
A cold silver light flashed, and with a pop, a bloody streak appeared on Esmond's neck.
At this moment, time seemed to stop for more than a second, and then his head fell into the snow with a grunt, and his face still showed helplessness, but the breath of life in his pupils had completely disappeared.
After losing his head, a fountain of blood gushed out frantically from the broken part of his neck, forming a strange blood mist. Even his body hung his limbs down weakly, and he could only stand on the snow with the support of two soldiers.
Esmond, the famous Black Iron Shield General, died like this.
And it is really unbelievable that he died in such a ghost place that no one knows, at the hands of Roland, a young man whose strength is twice as weak as him.
"It's over, it's finally over, it's really tiring."
Roland looked at Esmond's corpse, sighed again, stepped forward and took all the valuable things, and then let a kind of Van Doreen elite soldier bury him.
Although Esmond is an enemy, he can't let this famous general be in the wilderness.
Since killing the Light Faction NPC doesn't gain experience, Roland only gains an unlocked storage ring and a shield-shaped badge on Esmond's body.
"This is the legacy of the Shield of Krysavour?"
Roland looked at the badge in amazement, his heart full of excitement, he couldn't imagine that he could get such important equipment from Esmond.
However, to his regret, this equipment seemed to be sealed, and there was no information in sight, only a faint ununlocked three words.
After getting Esmond's corpse, Roland's eyes once again turned to the corpse of the Ice Queen, although the boss was not killed by him, he was able to loot the corpse and make the best use of it.
But when he came to the body of the Ice Queen Molly, he was surprised to find that the Ice Queen boss was not dead, but just lying on the ground dying.
"Thank you...... You...... Kill the intruder. β
Ice Queen Molly's face moved, and she said this sentence intermittently.
As soon as the words fell, two information prompts appeared in front of Roland's eyes:
[Ding, trigger the mission: "Save the Ice Queen", unlock the seal of the Ice Queen, and free them from the dark seal. γ
[Reward: 3 Lord CardsΓ] Do you accept it? γ
"This ...... Triggering a task? β
Roland looked at the task prompt in front of him in surprise and muttered in a low voice.
He had never imagined that he would encounter a trigger mission, after all, such trigger conditions were too harsh, first of all, he had to obtain the Craftsman Fire Temple Mark without being attacked by monsters, and he also had to save the Ice Queen when she was dying.
He hesitated for a moment, but finally accepted the mission, after all, the rewards of the three cards of the mission are still quite good. Lure. Confuse. Target.
But at this time, the most important thing is to save this ice queen from her near-death state first.
You must know that now Roland is blind to this task, and he doesn't know any information.
Then in the next task of unlocking the seal, the weight of the Ice Queen is very important. (To be continued......) R1292
