With a deft somersault in the air, the blood shadow landed steadily on the ground.
The death of the undead rising from behind her, and the hellish scream, meant that her colleagues from the Temple, and her grateful and admired friends, were engaged in a life-and-death duel under their respective convictions and determinations.
However, this is not her battle - even if she is worried about whether Mr. Sigma will win, even if she does not want to see anyone on either side die, she can only grit her teeth and run to her battlefield, she will fulfill her promise, whether it is to Sigma or to herself, she will rescue the most innocent people in this incident.
The killer girl clenched the short sword in her hand, her hands trembling slightly from a strange emotion, she was ready to fight, her hands were about to be stained with blood again...... Here it comes!
There was a sound of hurried footsteps in the darkness, and a few figures turned out of the path near the left, and when they saw the blood shadows, they were slightly stunned, they were holding swords, and the leader raised his hand and pointed at it, and gave the order to extinguish the mouth with a simple and crisp action.
The three crossbows were quickly fired, nailed to the heart, throat, and thigh of the blood shadow, and the two fast swordsmen pounced, the sword light shining with a cold light in the night sky, and the group of unknown squads showed no mercy.
…… That's right, if you want to kill someone, you must also be prepared to be killed at any time. Whoever slaughters living beings without scruples will not be able to receive the slightest mercy from me!
The sword flashed suddenly. Like a thin fishing line moving gently in the vast sea, the shadow disappears in an instant. The blood shadow shot out in an instant, her sword was incredibly fast, the figures were staggered, the two fast swordsmen who rushed towards fell down, a blood line broke through their throats, and the girl's figure broke through the darkness and blood, and the sword light flashed three times in a row, and in the horrified eyes of the other party, it swept over their bodies.
They don't know which big man they serve. It doesn't matter, the important thing is that their target is Nina, for the sake of Tesla's legacy of magic, to disturb his lonely and weak orphan girl, for the sake of greed and profit, people who can wantonly interfere in the life of an innocent girl, all deserve to die!
The Blood Shadow shook the short sword lightly, shaking off the last trace of blood.
Her hands were shaking slightly. Her heart was beating violently, and for some reason, memories of the past few years came back to her mind, from the first time she had killed someone for orders. To the countless times they indifferently looked at their targets and fell in a pool of blood, their appearance before death was different, and some people's eyes were full of fear and sadness. Some people are still cursing and scolding madly, and some people are relieved. Others gritted their teeth and said the word "temple...... Then Bloodshadow laughed silently, it seemed that she had long been used to killing.
More uninvited guests appeared. They first glanced at the corpses lying around the blood shadow, then at the expressionless Templar disciples, and someone shouted, "The target is inside!" Just pester her, don't fight! ”
Another group of scum driven by power and who have lost their conscience!
The Blood Shadow smiled indifferently, reversed the hilt of the sword, and raised the short sword in his hand diagonally, which was a gesture of challenge and an ultimatum.
The enemy's response was expected, and the seven-man squad split up four to rush towards her, and the other three swept towards the dormitory building from different directions, and the blood shadow thrust his short sword into the ground, stretched out his foot and picked up the two repeating crossbows scattered on the ground, and suddenly fired six arrows in a row, blocking all the target's dodging directions, killing two people in a row.
Bending down, pulling out her short sword, facing the enemies who surrounded her, waving, stabbing after stabbing, the blade reflected the starlight, weaving a metal web of death in the air, her sword speed was as unpredictable as a ghost, the roaring fighting spirit gave her unimaginable speed and strength, cut off the enemy's wrist, cut the enemy's trachea, she was a killer, she was used to killing, her blood was boiling, her heart was roaring, her hands were trembling, punish them, kill them, destroy them!
After killing one person, the Blood Shadow backhanded back another opponent, a little on tiptoe, a long sword on the ground bounced away, flew out of the air, and pierced an enemy who was rushing towards the dormitory, she then reflexively rushed to kill, the sword light shone, after a series of metal exchanges, the one-handed hammer in the opponent's hand bounced back, shattering the master's head.
Shun chop, reverse pick, disemboweled, kill one more person, she suddenly bowed down, the cold light shining stabbing sword from the back almost stabbed along her neck until it was empty, the girl stabbed homeopathically, and the tip of the sword pierced the other party's heart.
A secret army with rich experience and amazing combat power died quietly in this way.
The blood shadow shook off the blood from the sword again, and looked around, this time there was no confusion in her eyes, after a short but extremely efficient killing, the state of the top killer had returned to her, she looked at her hands, at her own face reflected on the blade, at the hideous scar on her cheek - yes, this is me, she said, a killer who is proficient in all kinds of killing arts, who should wander in the dark, does not need to live in the sun.
There were more and more footsteps in the darkness, and there were more and more pathetic pawns gathered here by Hermione's schemes and stratagems, and in any case, under the wrestling of the Temple and Atlas, they were all pathetic victims, or they became Hermione's funeral, or Sigmar's funeral - no matter who won or lost the earth-shattering battle in the distance, the victorious side would not allow them to live, this was their fate, and they didn't know it.
Blood Shadow even heard the killing cry, and the killer girl thought it was very ridiculous - this group of people from different forces must be bound to Nina, so they would not allow their competitors to win, and in the case that there was only one prey and winner, it was a very good choice to eliminate potential competitors in advance.
…… It's ridiculous, really.
When he was dying, he slaughtered his compatriots with dark rules, but as a warrior, he did not have the corresponding dignity and faith, and was willing to be the lackey of the powerful, and used his own force and blade to wantonly harm other equally precious lives...... This is this cruel world. The world where the strong have no mercy is precisely because they had an early insight into the nature of this cruel world when they traveled to the continent in their early years. She decided to officially become a Templar disciple with like-minded people. Change this decaying world...... For this great purpose, and to punish these who have lost themselves, she can stain her hands with blood and ruin them!
That's right, that's it.
The bushes shook, someone sneaked through the chaotic battlefield, and jumped out, but what awaited him was a swift sword light, and the indifferent eyes of the blood shadow were imprinted on the retina of the deceased. Until the infinite darkness swallows up the fragile eyes.
Kill! Kill them! The weak body of the blood shadow roamed the killing fields of iron and blood, casting a dividing line of death around the dormitory building where Nina was hiding, she tirelessly hunted all the trespassers on the periphery and ended their miserable lives, she didn't go in to find Nina, and she didn't even look far away at the place where Sigma was fighting—people like me shouldn't have been standing under the same sky as them in the first place, she thought and ran away. Killing, constantly killing awakens the heart that has long been soaked in blood, the people she remembers these days, Sigma, Nina, Gilly, the classmates of the academy...... The faces of these people gradually became illusory. It's like a dream, it's a dream, it's a dream, it's a wake-up, it's a dream, it's a fake!
Her sword is getting faster and faster. Shining like a meteor, pure killing intent and firm faith fiercely confronted in the heart. But just as Sigma feared, the original faith in compassion has been tainted by too much blood and carnage. Her heart was gradually ruled by the killing intent that she was shouting madly, questioning, angry, and protecting...... The reason for swinging the sword gradually dissipated, and slowly, every time the sword was drawn, it turned into a simple slash - none of these people, innocent, kill them!
There was no roar, no roar, only more and more boiling killing intent, the blood shadow held the short sword high, rushed forward, the sharp blade pierced into the body of the enemy who was struck in the air, pulled all the way, and cut him into two sections, the sword light immediately flipped, the bodies of the two were torn, spurting out large strands of blood, she reached out and picked up a cross spear that had lost its owner and fell to the ground, picked and stabbed and slashed, killed another person, threw it violently, pinned a person a little farther away to the ground, and the last person, the short sword, jumped dexterously in her hand, making a series of dazzling feints, Finally, he struck at the most tricky angle and slashed his throat.
Holding her blood-soaked neck, the enemy knelt on the ground weakly, he stared at the blood shadow deadly, with anger and condemnation in his eyes that made the blood shadow a little puzzled, she frowned and stopped: "Do you have any last words?" ”
The man breathed hard, like a dying beast, and said word by word, "You ...... Traitor! ”
Traitor.
These two words exploded in the blood shadow's mind.
"What did you say!?" In an instant, she came to the dying and stared into the other's eyes, "You...... Are you a temple disciple? Are you also a temple disciple? That's impossible! It's absolutely impossible! ”
The other party just gave her a mocking smile and slowly lowered her head.
The Blood Shadow's body shook.
That's right...... Hermione's plan is to kill Sigma, and then blame the cause of his death on someone else's head, and the object of this framing is the forces where these people who target Nina are located, so what happened here is also a very important part of Hermione's plan, with the caution and planning of astrologers, there will definitely be chess pieces belonging to the temple buried among these people, so the composition of these people is very complicated, some come from the major forces, some come from the temple, and some are the pawns of the temple lurking in the major forces, Only half-truths and half-truths can be reasonably framed......
But, that is, that is, that is......
Blood Shadow turned her head and looked at the traces she left along the way, corpses, pools of blood, that is, what she had just killed was not only those sad warriors who had lost themselves, but also ...... Her colleagues? Companions of the Temple?
Why is this happening? If they were also from the Temple, why were they driven by Hermione to come here to embarrass an innocent girl? None of them have the ability to judge right from wrong? Or rather...... They also take it for granted to sacrifice Nina?
In order to accomplish a more lofty and lofty ideal, there must be a forced sacrifice under the helpless reality - the views that Blood Shadow had shared and even fulfilled in previous years seemed so disgusting and ridiculous to her at this moment.
She became a temple disciple. It is to change this cruel world and make more and more people happier. But why would the temple embarrass an innocent girl? Moreover, the girl's father had a great connection to the temple and seemed to have provided the temple with something very important. And the temple promised to protect his daughter's safety and well-being—when could that promise be thrown away and trampled on at will, and when did the temple disciples become such untrustworthy despicables?
She didn't know, she really didn't.
I don't know what the problem is, I don't know if the temple has begun to deteriorate, and I even begin to wonder if the original intention of the temple is as good as she imagined, and I don't know if her killing and sacrifice over the years are really meaningful.
She pondered blankly. Suspicious, painful, but she was on the battlefield, and the people who had already killed the red-eyed people found her alone, and rushed over with fierce eyes, waving her sword - the blood shadow hastily blocked, constantly retreating, and when her mood was agitated and her thoughts were flying, her sword speed was no longer as unpredictable as the ghost before. She just parried in a wolf bèi, retreated, and even wanted to walk away and flee to a place where no one knew her. Think through the doubts in your heart.
However, in the moments when the Blood Shadow hesitated, another group of people who had broken through the encirclement after the victory had already rushed towards their target from another direction, and they either kicked the gate open. Or turn upstairs and search for Nina from room to room.
She heard someone shout again, "Even if you can't get it." Can't let them get it! Set! Set! ”
Flame scrolls, torches, phlogistin crystals, and even fire magic flew into the building one after another, revealing the evil desires of humanity and the dark side of their hearts in this instant. The Blood Shadow looked at the burning dormitory—Nina was there!
Nina is there!
The thought flashed through my mind like lightning – what was I thinking? I'm here to save her!
"Get out of here!" At this point, the blood shadow spoke for the first time, and as she shouted, the tip of the sword cut through the air, and she let the seven or eight weapons around her slash towards her body, and the blade of the sword quickly slashed through the arc - the people besieging her first felt the feel of the blade piercing into the flesh, and then felt a chill in their throats, and the strength of their whole body passed quickly......
The wound was not deep, it was only a minor injury, and the bloody shadow was drenched in blood, and he got out of the predicament as quickly as he could and at a certain price, rushing towards the house that had already begun to burn. The wounds on her body were bloody and painful, once again fueling the noisy killing intent, the sword light flashed, she killed the two people who stood in the way along the way, and rushed in through the gate, and the familiar hall had begun to be dispersed by flames.
The surroundings were engulfed in flames, the smoke choked, even with the eyes of a top swordsman, she felt that it was difficult to see, the blood shadow rushed into the sea of fire, the high temperature licked the wounds, which made her even more irritable, listening to the noisy voices, she rushed to the second floor - the wind was howling overhead, she didn't want to, the short sword stabbed out in her hand, and killed the sneak attacker on the spot!
"Who is he? Which big man's minions, or the Templar disciples? Such thoughts swirled in her head, but like a flame devouring a qiē, such thoughts also turned into ashes in the high-spirited killing intent and the persistence of protecting Nina, she rushed to the second floor, rushed to the intruders who were searching the room, and the sword light surged out like a flood, stabbing one person to death in an instant, and greatly astonishing the other enemies who found out that she was still in the spotlight - no one expected that this weak and wounded girl would be so tricky.
In the long corridor, the blood shadow rushed towards several enemies on the opposite side, the flames churning and twisting the air, making their forms invisible, just like the people she had killed before - she didn't know the lives of the other people, she didn't know if they had relatives, she didn't know if anyone would be sad and desperate after they died, she was going to kill them! Murder is sinful, but in order to achieve a certain goal, to save Nina, to fulfill the ideals of the Temple, someone must kill, someone must kill!
The blood shadow screamed, threw out the short sword in her hand, the cold light flowed a line, breaking into the enemy's chest, she jumped forward, galloped along the side wall, and fell behind the other person in an instant, the knife in her hand probed, inserted into the vest, the strong and surging fighting spirit burst out, shattering his heart and limbs, and pulled out the short sword from the corpse of another person with his backhand, the girl continued to rush forward, the fighting spirit was violently consumed, the killing was going on, and she couldn't take a step back, because time was running out!
In the midst of the fire, the sights of a lifetime flashed in my heart one after another, killing, killing, killing, the heat around me was like the melting pot of the world, a world of decay and sorrow must be purified - the strong are on top, and the powerful exploit the people. Some people are born without worrying about food and clothing, and they are rich and prosperous for a lifetime. Some people, no matter how hard they try, are just puppets of fate and pawns of big shots. That's why the temple has a reason to fight to change this unfair world!
Slightly on one side, she flashed the vital point, let the stabbing sword break into the shoulder blade, the blood shadow short sword slashed continuously, shattered the limbs, tore the body, and she pulled out the stabbing sword inserted in her body with her backhand. The tip of the sword pierced into the center of the other person's eyebrows, and she fought hard one after another, the fighting spirit was violently consumed, and the injuries on her body also increased, but her speed did not decrease at all, and she stepped over the corpse of the strong enemy and continued to walk towards the path of killing.
Sigma's voice and smile, and the experiences and feelings of these days, all came to mind. What Sigma had told her, Sigma's unfinished story, the new era that Kenshin had fought for had finally become something like his predecessor, and she firmly believed it at the time. The temple was different, but what happened today shattered what she had always believed in her heart, and perhaps the temple had deteriorated. Maybe...... They weren't as sacred as they thought.
What is this.
Pathetic tool.
Deception, lies, hypocrisy...... Is this what the temple is like?
"Kill you!" The feeling of betrayal fueled the heat of murderous intent, and she let out a long cry. Although it is full of scars, although the consumption is huge. But the tragic momentum and awe-inspiring killing intent still shocked her enemy, the short sword and the war sword were intertwined, in a series of exchanges, the blood shadow was seriously injured and could still use almost perfect sword skills under the driving of killing intent, the opponent's sword defense circle could not stop the coming of death, the short sword rushed all the way along the opponent's sword body, and pierced his throat.
The last man!
Through the surging flames, she heard the footsteps of the last person, held her breath, concentrated, and sprinted, this sword she stabbed almost perfectly, almost as soon as her eyes moved, the sword stabbed out, and no one could resist it!
The tip of the sword went into the flesh and drove in, and her long-term experience of killing made her judge that she had pierced the heart of her enemy.
Then, she heard a cry of pain.
The sound splashed on the head of the blood shadow like a head of cold water, instantly extinguishing her murderous intent that had skyrocketed to the extreme, like the most terrifying nightmare, which made her eyes widen in horror, she subconsciously let go of the hand holding the sword, and involuntarily rushed forward, hugging the fallen body, this answer was the most desperate answer, she opened her mouth, but she couldn't make a little sound.
The person in his arms opened his eyes wide, as if he didn't expect this kind of ending, Nina Tesla, she seemed to want to say something, but she didn't say anything, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she slowly closed her eyes.
It's like relief.
The flames were still burning, and from time to time the beams of the house with fire fell, making a loud noise, thick smoke was rising, oxygen was consumed, and this place gradually became a place of death, and the blood shadow still had no idea of escaping, she hugged Nina's body wordlessly, and it seemed that she had not yet reacted to what was happening.
No, the truth is already simple...... Entwined and controlled by the desire to kill, she was indeed immersed in killing, and driven by pleasure and desire, she killed the person she wanted to protect by mistake.
Is...... It's terrible.
At this moment, the wind and clouds between heaven and earth changed color, and a suffocating cold air rushed to the face, and the negative energy of the icy Yin Owl scattered and screamed with the cry of the immortal spirit, surging and pressing like a cold wave, causing the fierce flames to jump in panic, swaying and dimming like candles in the wind, and instantly extinguishing the raging flames, making the hot land covered with frost.
More than a dozen white bone souls dragged the long illusory tail, shuttling and roaring in the air, penetrating flesh and blood, tearing their souls apart, Sigma fell from the sky and landed on the cold ruins, he looked at the blood shadow sitting on the ground, and then looked at Nina with a short sword in her chest, and his slightly tired eyes were shrouded in anger: "Blood shadow...... What's going on? ”
What's going on? Bloodshadow looked up, revealing a bloodstained face, and she glanced blankly at Sigma, then down at Nina, with a loveless, desperate smile.
Of course I killed her, I killed Nina, I killed her whom I had promised to protect, I killed the most innocent of her, just like those wretched people, I, like them, were tools without ego, all captives of killing!
The worst, the most pathetic, the most depraved, the most damned, the most ridiculous, the most despicable!
She slowly stretched out her hand, wanting to pull out the dagger from Nina's chest, use it to end her miserable life, and atone for the innocent girl, but looking at Nina's calm face as if she was asleep, and the smile of relief on the corner of her mouth, she couldn't touch the dagger anyway, she didn't want to disturb the girl anymore, not at all.
She looked at Sigma, "Mr. Sigma, kill me, I'm already ...... I don't deserve to live......"
"I refuse." Sigma's voice seemed to come from the netherworld, and she couldn't really hear it, but she felt it deep and clear, "I told you a long time ago that you can do anything, as long as you don't regret it...... So I'm not going to kill you, on the contrary, you're going to keep living, and I want you to live to regret what you did today. ”
Regret.
What's the use of regret?
The blood shadow looked around blankly, and after the blazing flames were extinguished, only ugly ruins and cold loneliness were left, just like the faith that had supported her fight to this day, just like her self-righteous and kind heart, in a daze, a tear seeped out of her eyes, and slowly fell, falling to the ground, condensed into ice, the once boiling killing intent and firm persistence had quietly dissipated invisibly, at this moment, there was only sadness and pity in her heart, all living beings, whether righteous or evil, damned or undeserved, Every qiē is life, a life that is precious, fragile, fleeting, and easy to lose.
She looked at Nina, the guilt and regret in her heart gnawed at her soul, yes, she didn't even have the qualifications to die, she should live, live to atone for her sins, live to regret what happened today, live to repent of what she had done......
"Looks like you've got it." Sigma said coldly, "Just use the rest of your life to make up for the mistakes you have made." ”
The Blood Shadow nodded in a daze, but his eyes were as empty as death.
The necromancer crouched down, reached out and touched the short sword on Nina's chest, and nodded: "Well, what a fast sword, very accurate, just broke the heart...... Good luck. ”
The Blood Shadow was stunned for a moment, and then saw Sigma pinching the hilt of the sword with two fingers, slowly lifting it up, and the killer girl was about to stop it, but was surprised to find that there was no blood that had spread, whether it was spurting or slowly flowing out, there was no blood oozing out, her eyes widened, but she didn't dare to think about what it meant: she was afraid that she would lose hope again.
"I was worried at the beginning, so I used a little trick, which was a very wise decision." After Sigma pulled out the dagger, he stretched out his finger and pressed it against Nina's wound, visible to the naked eye, the stiff blue color of the girl's face symbolizing death gradually faded, and an invisible obscure power flowed into Sigma's fingertips, leaving only a gradually rosy face.
Nina's chest began to rise and fall slowly.
Sigma turned her head sideways, looked at the blood shadow, and smiled slightly, "How can you thank me?" ”
