Chapter Ninety-Seven: A Companion in Memory
Sophia, Cassius, Joyka, Julian......
John Duncan, Ishnova, Lyle, Alice......
Davis, Dani, Memphik, Uzbe......
Tismu, Yundy, Spiluk, Elena......
All the friends and seniors who had fought side by side appeared one after another at Owen and Ray's side, and even Leonard, Reguno, St. Angie, Paternin, and Elena, who had returned to Atlantis, were also embodied one after another.
Owen's assumption proved to be correct, since in this fantasy world, Marn can summon the army of his memory, then Ray, as his later life, can also call out his remembered companions.
There is no need for any communication, even though these companions are just projection illusions of Thunder's memories, but the mutual thoughts between the companions are real, and when they stand together, they condense unprecedented courage, and they show their skills in the face of thousands of troops who can't see the edge, and they meet them without fear. Just 20 or so people actually defeated the once invincible army in the world.
However, this advantageous situation is only temporary, no matter how strong an individual's ability is, he cannot confront an army, and even if more than 20 people are all among the best in the world, they cannot defeat an army.
Marn's army was only briefly thrown into disarray after a surprise attack, and after losing hundreds of men, it gradually gained a foothold and regrouped. Under the orderly and uniform military situation, this small team of only 20 or so people could not escape the fate of being "drowned" after all.
Is there nothing left to do? No!
Just as Ray was spear-wielding a cavalry squad that was charging at his brother Cassius Phantas, Owen suddenly grabbed him from behind.
"What are you doing, Owen, it's dangerous to be a little late!" Ray, who was stopped by Owen, was very anxious and unhappy, he was a little confused about the difference between the phantom and the real.
"Don't worry. Owen pressed his palm on Ray's sweaty forehead, "Our companions don't stop here, let's use these powers as well." ”
A strange telekinesis entered Ray's mind through Owen's palm.
"It's ...... It turned out to be ......"
Ray was startled by what he saw.
"Don't try to confuse me again!"
Even though he saw all the circumstances of the so-called "past and present lives", Julian's position did not waver in the slightest, he raised the "tears of repentance" and went up, and the violent sword qi rushed towards Ipeia without any hesitation.
Ipeya didn't make a dodge or defensive move, she just looked directly at Julian with a resentful gaze.
The sword qi directly split Ipeia into two halves from the middle, but there was no bloody scene of scattered internal organs, and the split Ipeia turned into two people in front of Julian: one was Ipeia, who was dressed in a neat empress attire, and the other was Ipeia, who visited Julian in person at the small hotel, and was covered by a graceful leather jacket.
"Huh!"
This strange scene made Julie Anxin take two steps back.
"Please don't run away. Two familiar female voices sounded behind them.
Julian turned his head to see two more Ipeia standing behind him: Ipeia wearing a simple cloak after being taken out of the imperial capital by Julian in a carriage, and Ipeia wearing a magician's costume during the battle against the "Sun-Eater" in Fernandez's manor.
"It doesn't matter if you're Julian or Winrith," the four Ipeya said at the same time, "there's no denying that fact. ”
"Come back to me. I'm the one you're really waiting for. This sentence was said by the six Ipeia together. They held out their hands to Julian at the same time.
The two extra Ipeia are Ipeia, who wears the fairy dragon contract and restores the body of a dragon knight, and Ipeia, who is drenched and naked in the hot spring bath.
Facing the six beauties who surrounded him, looked the same but had completely different styles, and the twelve slender jade wrists stretched out in front of him, Zhu Li felt a sense of softening in his peace of mind. He gradually lost his fighting spirit, and his twin swords slowly fell, disarming himself little by little......
"Don't be fooled!"
A voice roared out loud from the bottom of Julian's heart.
"Yes, what am I doing?" Julian suddenly realized, and he reversed "Eternal Victory" and stabbed his sword into his left thigh.
"Oops......" With a snort of pain, blood shot from his left leg, and Julian regained his sanity with the pain caused by the forcible stabbing himself. He looked up, and Ipeya, who was supposed to have been split in half by the "Tears of Repentance", stood in front of him unscathed, while the others were long gone.
What a terrible illusion that even the magic sword "Tears of Repentance" can deceive!Julian couldn't help but feel palpitations, but he didn't want Ipeia to see his weakness, even if it was only for a moment. Julian immediately swung "Eternal Victory" with his backhand and threw it at Ipeia.
The holy sword "Eternal Victory" passed through Ipeia's body and nailed it into the hard stone wall behind it, and where Ipeia's body was pierced, it spread out layer by layer like a ripple of water, and finally disappeared, leaving not a drop of blood, and then the scattered "ripples" gathered inward in a swirl and reunited into Ipeia's body, unharmed.
As dragon knights who have made a pact with the fairy dragons, the powerful illusions that Ipeia and Fudirokaya share can materialize false illusions and vice versa, and can also disillusion the material of the entity, so as to perfectly dodge the fatal blow.
"Do you still want to be my enemy? Look at the facts, Julian, you can't hurt me at all. If I had done anything to you, you would have been dead. Although Ipeia was not happy about Julian's heavy hand, she did not turn her face, and still persuaded bitterly, "Please, we are not enemies at all." On the contrary, you are the most important person to me, and so am I to you. Let's talk calmly, shall we?"
"Shut up!" Julian had no intention of talking to her, and rushed over with his hands clenched in the "tears of repentance".
But the sword wound in his thigh delayed Julian's movements, and by the time he rushed to Ipeya, the stabbing sword had already been struck. Once again, Ipeya vanished in front of him.
Disappearing along with this gloomy underground passage, in its place is a bright, luxurious, and beautiful palace garden.
"How did I get back here?" said Julian, looking at this place that was both familiar and strange.
"I knew you wouldn't forget it. Ipeya, who was already standing behind him at some point, replied, "This place is your favorite garden, and it's the place where we have the sweetest memories. ”
With the help of Owen's telekinesis, Ray overtook Marn's control of the world he had conjured up from his mind for the first time.
Once again, the world is distorted. The murderous sacrificial mound and the abyss no longer exist, replaced by a icy and snowy land shrouded in the bitter cold and polar night.
On the outskirts of Mannon, the northernmost city of the Snowy Federation, on the eve of the decisive battle with the demon Satan Mephistopheles - this unforgettable scene is once again recreated in the world through the memories of Owen and Ray. It's just that this time the enemy to deal with is no longer Mephistopheles and his demon army, but an existence that has long since disappeared two thousand years ago.
The armies of the Agulema Kingdom of Mar have not disappeared with the Sacrificial Hill, and their military appearance is still strong, but they no longer have absolute superiority.
Only another army can defeat one army head-on.
All the companions who were called out before were gone, but Owen and Ray were not alone, because standing behind them at this time was the Beastmen Legion that once swept through the Glorious Continent - the brave and skilled crossbow cavalry.
The unilateral hunting and hunting turned into a confrontation between the two armies. When two powerful armies known as "invincible" that span thousands of years collide fiercely, who will be the final winner?
