Rochester struggled to reclaim the ballista, but it seemed to get stuck in Duland's body. Durand manipulated the wounded muscles, wrapping the gun around it, while holding the crossbow with both hands to prevent the opponent from retreating.

"Let it go!" Rochester roared low, but the roar reflected his panic.

After Durand and Ice Condensation merged into one, the power of the third Snow Hidden Blade has surpassed the first two, I don't know if it is because Ice Ning is a pure ice type and is also the developer of the Amber Blade.

Rochester was pierced by the Gapper's Blade and gradually frozen, which made him feel unexpectedly threatened.

The wrestling between the two sides was fierce and silent.

Durand spat blood again, his eyes always determined. As he said just now, if this battle really lets go of a big fight, it may not be impossible to kill the opponent, after all, what Durand is best at is to create possibilities in the impossible and kill the enemy who cannot be killed.

But this time, part of the enemy was Manus.

Along the way, especially after knowing so many secrets and truths, Durand began to think: if the meaning of this dwarven war for Rochester is change, then what is the meaning for himself, for Sendlow, and for hundreds of millions of battle mages?

For the sake of victory?

For victory, of course.

But in fact, it is more accurate to say that it is not to be defeated by Rochester, in order to survive. A war for survival, in fact, has been lost from the very beginning.

So this war, for Duland, has nothing to do with victory.

Durand doesn't have a strong desire to compete with Rochester.

Durand only wants to protect the people he wants to protect.

Therefore, if Manus is killed in order to kill Rochester, it will not be a victory for Duland, but a defeat.

After Ellie's death, Durand no longer wants to see the people he cares about. Died in front of himself, even in his own arms.

"Luo Fan's Twin Heavens curse broke out, and I rescued him. It's the same with Master Manus, and I can get him back as well. Duland's eyes were already a little blurry, but the hand that grabbed the gun tightened tighter and tighter.

The ice had crawled up to Rochester's waist.

Absolute defense resisted the invasion of the ice, but could not resist the continuous spread of the ice, and Rochester found that his lower body was completely immobile, and even showed signs of losing consciousness.

This terrifying feeling even reminded him of the time when he was sealed by his brother Learmons.

"Damn it...... Damn, damn it!! Rochester gritted his teeth and let go. He decisively gave up the crossbow gun and prepared to retreat.

But as soon as Rochester let go, Durand let go at the same time, and then his hands reached out like lightning and pressed Rochester's shoulders.

So Rochester's feet had just left the ground a little bit, and before he could retreat, he landed on the ground again, and was grabbed by Duran and held it firmly.

"Let it go! Give me...... Let it go! ”

The ice has crawled up to the chest.

Rochester looked at the silent but resolute Duland. He roared, "Why the hell is this? Why are you doing this? What can I do even if I am sealed? Sooner or later, I'll be able to break out of the seal! And you, you're injured like this, are you still alive? Why risk your life for the sake of others?!! ”

Durand didn't say a word.

For a guy like Rochester, who can spare the lives of hundreds of millions of people for his own goals. If the explanation is not clear, it is impossible for the other party to understand.

Dense drumming sounded in the hall, and Rochester used his movable upper body to desperately hit Duland's chest, abdomen and soft underbelly. Durand wears a ballista. Let the other party move, and only grab the other party's shoulders with both hands.

Blood spilled on the ground between the two.

The two men got closer and closer, and the strength of Rochester's fists gradually weakened. The speed of the blow gradually slowed down.

Five minutes later, only his right hand could still move, and he was still bombarding Duland's body one after another, continuing the fierce battle.

Ten minutes later, Rochester landed a hard-fought final punch before his right hand was completely frozen as well.

The frozen line was suppressed by Rochester below his neck, his head and eyes could still move, but he was speechless, his eyes stared at Durand, who was close at hand, and that look seemed to say: One more, one more time I can defeat you, one more time, I can defeat you!

But Durand faltered from ten minutes ago, but he hasn't fallen until now.

The ice line finally continued upward, over Rochester's neck, chin, mouth, nose...... All the way up, faster and faster, which meant that Rochester no longer had the strength to resist.

When he was about to be sealed, Rochester's head could no longer be turned, but he was still slanting his eyes, staring at Durand like a dying king, his eyes were full of anger and questioning, and there were many emotions that Durand couldn't understand, one by one.

In a trance, Durand saw a delicate and immature little boy.

The boy turned his face back and looked at a man with a rugged face with a strong body, and asked, "Dad, are you going to fight the Twin Heavens again?" ”

"Hmm."

"How long will it take this time?"

"It won't be long." The man rubbed the boy's head vigorously and grinned, "Little Rochester wants to listen to mom and brother, and dad will be back in a month." ”

The man left and returned a month later, as promised, only to be ashes.

The boy hugged the jar and cried loudly, and three days later, his mother also left, to avenge his father, to fight the miscellaneous people of the Twin Heavens.

So another month passed, and the urn in the boy's hand changed from one to two.

The boy couldn't cry anymore.

He opened his red and swollen eyes, and looked blankly at a back that was close in front of him but seemed to be far away, it was the back of his brother, and the boy asked, "Brother, are you going to leave me too?" ”

"No, I'm going to avenge my mom and dad."

"You...... You're going to die! ”

"No, it won't." The back figure turned around, revealing a young face with a doting smile on it, "I'm very strong, you don't have to worry, wait for my good news at home." ”

Three years later, Sendlow, led by a young battle mage, Learmons, won the battle against the Twin Heavens.

Young Rochester happily goes to find his brother. When I wanted to witness my brother's slashing of the enemy, what I saw was the moment when my brother signed a truce and peace treaty with the Twin Heavens on behalf of Sendroo.

Why shake hands with the enemy?

Rochester couldn't understand.

When you have become an enemy, can you shake hands and make peace again?

What about Mom and Dad's feud?

Rochester didn't come forward to question, didn't cry and splash, he was silent, and watched the whole process of his brother signing the contract with the other party's representative. Little by little, the boy's face became calmer, indifferent, and introverted. From that moment on, in the mind of young Rochester. The seeds of hatred and slander were planted deeply.

The elder brother can't help his parents avenge him, and the elder brother can't make the battle mage clan really strong, so he raises his eyebrows.

The one who can drive out the Celestial Race and exterminate them, and the one who can bring Sendlow to the invincible.

It's just me!

Here the picture comes to an abrupt end.

In the main hall, Rochester's eyes, who resisted to the end, were finally completely frozen by the turbid ice.

The ice blocked Duland's view.

But Durand almost guessed the rest of the story without looking, a story of the birth of an Avenger, awakening, growth, revenge, and finally metamorphosis.

Durand finally let go of his grip on Rochester's shoulders.

The prolonged exertion made Duland's finger joints stiff and painful. There was almost no sensation in the whole body. Beaten by Rochester.

Durand gritted his teeth and pulled the crossbow out of his body, bringing out a large pool of blood.

The crossbow gun rolled to the ground and bounced. Lie down quietly.

Durand grinned, seeming to smile, from the bottom of his heart. It suddenly went dark in front of him, and Durand couldn't hold it anymore. Unconscious.

Until a burst of warmth envelops him. The soft light seeped into Duland's body, slowly helping him heal his body and repair his injuries.

It's a very comfortable feeling. It was also very warm, Durand slowly opened his eyes, feeling that he was being held in his arms, and what caught his eye was Milo's face.

"Whew...... Great, you're finally awake. Milo let out a long sigh of relief, and fine beads of sweat covered her smooth forehead.

She is now a normal battle mage, and she should have just woken up not long ago. Because she had just transformed into a white dwarf, her clothes were quite untidy, but she didn't care, looking at Durand's eyes full of concern.

Duland's body was limp and weak, and he couldn't get up for the time being, so he had to smile: "Are you okay?" Are you feeling okay? ”

Milo sighed: "You, when can you get used to thinking about yourself." You're hurt like this, but when you wake up, you still ask me first......"

When Milo woke up, he saw the situation in the main hall - frozen Rochester, the messy ground, the blood stains on the ground, and the purple-gold ballista stained with dried blood - although he did not witness the battle, Milo could clearly guess how tragic the previous battle was.

Durand smiled and said, "I'm very hard, it's fine." Okay, help me up, there's still a lot to do. ”

Milo couldn't resist him, so he had to help Durand get up.

Milo didn't ask what was going on with the frozen Rochester, nor did he ask Durand why he didn't kill Rochester, but just froze him.

Because the answer doesn't need to be asked at all, Milo knows that Durand must have made such a choice because of Manus's relationship.

It is hard to imagine that a person can always maintain his heart and maintain such persistence and responsibility in the midst of a tragic war.

However, Milo looked at the frozen purple dwarf, and a trace of gloom and worry vaguely flashed in the depths of his eyes, as if he saw that he would also be frozen in the future.

"Don't worry. I'll rescue Master Manus, and I'll find a way to get you back to normal. Durand seemed to have guessed Milo's thoughts. (To be continued......)
