Chapter 407: I've actually held out until the fourth day
The magic guide aircraft dragged a thick flame from the sky, and the dull sound of explosions came from the belly of the plane from time to time, and the fiery elemental fluctuations brewed unstable power, which could spread death and destruction at any time.
Sigma harnessed the wind, the fire soared, rushing from the ninth floor of Cloudsdale at high speed, and the moment before the aircraft crashed to the ground, the necromancer rushed to the sky above the crash site, a flash of sharpness flashed in his eyes, and with a wave of his right arm, dozens of points of blood light fell from the sky, shooting in all directions, covering the body that crashed down.
The miserable green light suddenly erupted, and countless deadly toxins drifted in all directions, but the next moment, the blood that fell from the sky merged into it, and a violent chain counterattack was triggered, and these blood had been transformed into the world's second only deadly poison after time with the power of the Hades Agent, relying on the rank suppression of necromancy to quickly devour the overflowing toxins.
Sigma opened his arcane shield and rushed through the massive hole in the dangerous cabin in the face of the explosions, and the necromancy was activated in full force, feeling the fluctuations of life, and then a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he rushed into the cockpit along the long cabin, kicking open the broken hatch.
A few seconds later, the windshield plate of the cockpit was pierced by a chain of bone spears that were stacked on top of each other, and after a loud shattering sound, Sigma rushed out of the death cabin with a bloodied person on his back, and the chain explosions continued to occur, but the diffused toxins had been suppressed by death, and Sigma's eyes shone brightly, and he carefully put down the people behind him while using the necromancy secret method to collect the scattered toxins...... He only detected that there were two people in the cockpit, one for the first time of their lives, and the one who was alive was already dying. Soul fluctuations shone with a faint but firm light.
The sole survivor was dressed in the Holy See's standard flight suit, and Sigma carefully removed his helmet from the Hallows. revealed a face, a very ordinary appearance. A paladin of a mundane standard...... He was clutched to a pilot's dagger in his hand, battered in multiple places, and when Sigma found him, the dagger stuck in the body of a man.
When the impact occurred, the paladin opened his shield and forcibly withstood the violent impact, then broke away from the flying height, pulled out the weapon he was wearing, and rushed along the cabin of the magic guide aircraft to the enemy's wheelhouse, roaring and waving the weapon in his hand. Even in a mortal situation, make the vicious enemy pay...... Because of this, the specially protected cab blocked most of the explosion power and toxin splashing, and bought him more time.
But only for a while...... The necromancer's knowledge of the human body told him that the person in front of him, his life had come to an end, and his fire of life was crumbling and dim.
The paladin took a few breaths and reached out to grab Sigma's arm: "You...... You are not a priest. Who are you? ”
The necromancer said slowly, "I am Sigmar Washington, a necromancer, and I have been ordered to come to assist Acting Pope Clement and use my skills and experience to fight against the invasion of the Temple. I have assisted the Grand Adjudicator in the explosion and the riot in the Iron Prison of Thorns, and you can trust me that I am here to help you. ”
The Paladin was clearly not interested in investigating his identity anymore. The feeling of weakness at the moment of dying made his wariness drop greatly: "Forget it, it doesn't matter anymore. Whether you are friend or foe, sue me...... What about my men? ”
Sigma hesitated. "They went to the kingdom of God the Father before you, and God will rejoice and reward and praise them for their heroic deeds and senseless sacrifices," he said softly. ”
"Really...... That's great. The paladin smiled bitterly, "The moment before rushing into the cabin, I noticed a large amount of highly toxic substances hidden in this flying machine, but now I don't feel any smell of decay...... Necromancer, are you in control of the situation? ”
"No, strange paladin, it is you who have redeemed this ......qiē," Sigma muttered, "Lives are gone, warriors die mightily, but the glorious light will engrave your spirits in this sky and guard this great holy city for all eternity...... Your fathers, your comrades, and your descendants will be proud of you......"
"So......" he said softly, "we're all heroes, aren't we?" ”
"No, you're all fools." Sigma gritted his teeth and said, "I knew that this was a mortal mission, but I willingly took it, in order to unite the hearts of the people of this city, in order to let people regain their former glory and dignity, at the cost of their own lives, just to wake them up...... Don't you feel sorry that life is gone? ”
"Ah...... That's right, you know ......" A smile appeared on the paladin's face.
The man who was on his deathbed, who had already taken off his guard under Sigma's linguistic skills and hints, nodded, and instead had no regrets on his face, but a smile of victory...... But he didn't notice that Sigma's right hand was slowly clasped in the dirt, clutching a handful of dirt and clutching it tightly.
He looked at the sky with affection and said softly, "Fool? Aren't the so-called clergy all a bunch of fools? Whether it's the Holy See, or His Majesty the Clément, or me, or the boy, all of them are like that, they're all fools. We want to use the power of the Light and the vision of light to move the hearts of selfish and indifferent people, to change the world, to dissuade people from abandoning hatred and strife, to persuade nations to abandon armed conflict, to fight against evil and injustice, and to protect the good weak and devout believers...... Everyone is willing to fight for this, even at the cost of their lives, because everyone is a fool, stupidly believing that blood and tears will not be shed in vain, believing that this world will become better and better, believing that one day, light will shine on every corner of the earth, and sin and hunger will disappear in this land......"
A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Listen...... How silly, naïve, naïve, but ...... But I have always been proud of such a papacy, willing to live for him, die for him, shed every drop of blood for him......"
He opened his eyes and glanced at Sigma: "You necromancer won't understand this kind of thing, right......"
"No...... Even though I'm a necromancer, I get it. Paladin, you have done your duty. It's time to rest, sleep quietly. The radiance of God the Father shines on the brave heart and leads you to His kingdom, where there is no strife, no sin, only pure and unblemished souls......" Sigma whispered, "May the light shine upon you, brave knight, and your courage and loyalty are beyond reproach. ”
"But...... The crisis is not over, my Holy See. My brothers and sisters, they still ......" The paladin looked at the sky with difficulty, his eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and in the last moments of his life, he still remembered the one he was obsessed with.
"Don't worry." Sigma took his hand, and his tone was strange and soft, "I'm just a necromancer, and I don't understand the stubbornness and persistence of the clergy, nor do I understand your feelings and attachment to this city. But I recognize your spirit, admire your sacrifice, and I am willing to continue to fight in your place......"
He gently closed his eyes for the paladin he had never known.
"I'm a necromancer, and the power of death is rushing within me. It is the end of life, the end of darkness, and I have no dazzling light. Unable to win the splendor beneath the firmament, unable to show the way to those who yearn for the light......" Sigma put the paladin's hand back on him. Resting on the part of the heart, he put on a peaceful and decent sleeping position for the deceased warriors. His tone was very soft throughout, as if he were afraid of frightening the souls of the deceased, and he said quietly, "But I have some skills, some skills about death and ruin, skills that make the wicked and ugly fearful. I promise you that the one who hides in the shadows, who plays with people's hearts and desecrates the soul with terror, threats and conspiracies, who does the vicious and selfish things for seemingly righteous reasons, the source of the evil, the culprit who made this qiē happen, I will find him, I will defeat him......"
"Then, I'll kill him."
The necromancer stood up, and the explosion of the flying machine continued, but the spilled and diffused toxins had long since disappeared, and Sigma's mind moved, and the blood aggregate that devoured all the toxins suddenly cracked and collapsed, turning into a harmless substance, seeping into the earth like water, leaving no trace.
He turned and walked away, his expression cold and indifferent, like all qualified necromancers, accustomed to seeing life and death, and regarded the passing of life as a part of the great reincarnation.
The holy light churned, the chaotic footsteps gradually sounded, the nearby priests rushed to the fastest speed, and one of the high-ranking paladins who arrived first saw a necromancer with a flying robe and a cold face at the scene of the explosion, and instinctively wanted to shout loudly, but Sigma's eyes wandered, and he glanced at him slightly, and the priest grew his mouth, feeling that his body and soul were frozen together, and he couldn't say a word...... It was not the power of frost, but the cold silence that ended life and brought death, the power that made all living beings tremble.
He said indifferently: "Get out of the way." ”
The priest involuntarily gave way, and then he realized what he had done, he was alarmed, Sigma's attitude and behavior revealed the word suspicious everywhere, but before he could draw his sword and move, a cold gauntlet pressed to his shoulder: "He's Sigmar-Washington, from Atlas, you should have heard his name, he's here to help." I'm sorry, he was born like this, so please don't take it too seriously......"
The person who appeared in time when the conflict was about to break out was none other than Kiri, who coaxed away the paladin with a mixture of dissatisfaction and jealousy on her face as quickly as she coaxed, and when she looked back, Sigma ignored her, walked forward with a gloomy face, and passed by the paladins without any scruples, exuding an aura of "I'm suspicious, come and stop me because I want to find fault".
"What's wrong?" Ji Li looked at the paladins who kept coming, and after asking a few questions to no avail, she gritted her teeth, grabbed Sigma's arm, dragged him into the nearest alley, and whispered, "Do you need me to punch you to sober you up?" ”
The necromancer glanced at Ji Li and said slowly, "You know what? These people didn't have to die. ”
"Because such a great legend that can go down in history cannot end with 'the necromancer, vampires, and werewolves finally descended from the sky like divine soldiers, and saved Cloudsdale by slashing the poisonous flying machine with a powerful secret method', so the flying hallows equipped with inefficient weapons must forcibly take off and awaken this holy city in the same way."
"But this group of people with their relatives, their lives and their future are also willing to die like fools."
"But the Holy See can only take this way, whether it is the Holy See or Clement, they use this sacrifice as a bargaining chip, thinking about gains and losses like a politician, I know that they are thinking about the Holy See, but ......"
Before the necromancer could finish speaking, he was gently hugged by Jili.
Although he was wearing cold armor, a gentle aura still poured into the tip of Sigma's nose, and the girl tolerated his uneasiness and dissatisfaction, and said softly, "I know, I know it...... This qiē stems from the powerlessness of the Holy See and the alienation of the people's hearts at this time, so that the Holy See is limited by various reasons, and it is not anyone's fault that it cannot logically ask for support. The only thing I can guarantee is that the future that belongs to us will not happen again...... When the future Holy See is helmed by me, when the future Atlas is led by you, with our management and efforts, this qiē will become better, I promise......"
Sigma didn't speak, only hummed an "um" in a nasal voice.
The two hugged each other so quietly, warming their hearts that had been dazed recently with each other's body temperatures.
After a moment, the necromancer let go of his hands and gently pushed Ji Li away: "Ah, if you are not careful, you female hooligan will take advantage of the chaos......"
The girl wrinkled her nose and said dissatisfiedly: "Who is taking advantage of whom!" You scoundrel who pretends to be pitiful and deceives the girl's arms! ”
Sigma squinted and said, "Just your flat ...... Ah, it turned out that you were wearing armor, and I said how your chest is so soft......"
He was greeted by a flying kick from the paladin.
Sigma, who seemed to have regained her spirits, laughed and fled, waved her hand, and ran away in a moment, staring at the back of the necromancer, watching him disappear completely, Jili's smiling expression instantly became gloomy, she leaned against the wall, looked at the sky, and whispered to herself: "You're lying to me again...... There must have been something that made you feel really lost and shocked, what the hell was it......"
