After the last "cross blink" faded, this small but tragic duel came to an end.

Sasha's giant snake body, which was more than ten meters long, hung on several broken pillars, motionless and lifeless.

A small piece of leopard's tail exposed on the edge of the rubble tells the story of Milalie's fate as she was crushed underneath.

Nanokai, who could still move, one of his wings was crippled and could no longer fly, and his bloody claws moved with difficulty on the ground, gradually approaching Julian, who was healing his wounds in the luster of the holy sword.

Despite her last-ditch efforts, Nanokhai was unable to unleash the last of her "wind blades" before Julian could finish healing, and she collapsed just 4 or 5 meters away from Julian.

The brilliance dissipated, which meant that the healing of the Holy Sword had ended. Julian stood up and put the radiant sword back into its scabbard. Julian won the duel, but he didn't have the joy of a victor at all, looking at the enemy who was lying on his side on the ground and vomiting blood, and suddenly there was a sour feeling of nausea surging to Julian's throat.

"Wow......" Julian leaned forward, spilling white and yellow semi-fluid vomit all over the floor.

Disgusting is the only feeling Julian feels now, and the object that makes him feel disgusted is not Nanokai, who has fallen to the ground, but himself holding the sword.

Wiping the vomit residue from the corners of his mouth and sneering in disgust, Julian moved his unscathed body like a walking corpse and passed in front of Nanokai.

"Wait...... Wait a minute. Nanokhai called out to him.

Julian stopped. Despite the fact that as a victor he has the right to dismiss, it is clear that Julian at this time does not consider himself a winner.

"Give me a good time. "I didn't expect Nanokai to make such a request.

"No!" Julian refused without even thinking about it, "I have no grudge against you three sisters. ”

"That's right, that's why you want to give me a good time. ”

Nanokai spoke lightly, but anyone could hear the heaviness of her heart. When she decided to turn her body into a monster, Nanokhai was ready to die, she didn't want to survive with a half-human, half-beast body, for Nanokai, death was actually a relief. Julian understood Nanokai's mood and longing at this time, and after her approving gaze, Julian slowly drew the holy sword......

However, halfway through the unsheath of the sword, Julian eventually pushed the sword back.

Fearing more lives, Julian once again refuses Nanokei's request with a feeble shake of his head, and although he doesn't do it, Nanokhai won't live long, but Julian still doesn't dare to make more eye contact with her.

"Hahahaha......" As soon as he took two steps away, Julian heard Nanokhai laugh from behind, "I thought you had something great, but it seems that I was overthinking." Your indecision will completely bury your 4 lives, and the winner will be Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”

I don't know if it's because of the thought of something happy, or because of the last energy of the reflection, Nanokai's voice was loud and clear when she said this.

"Four lives?" Julian noticed another point of concern from this passage, which was an unknown number that Nanokhai had said.

"As the owner of the Holy Sword, you don't even know it! The princess has told us that the Sacred Sword's 'Eternal Victory' can save the life of its owner seven times. And my sisters and I have killed you 3 times, minimizing the threat you pose to Her Royal Highness to the maximum. We're finally ...... Finally ......" Speaking of this, Nanokai let out a hard breath, and the loud voice suddenly became weaker and weaker, "Finally, it succeeded." ”

After saying the last sentence, Nanokei's satisfied smile was forever fixed in that moment. She didn't choose to close her eyes at the juncture of life and death, but not turning her eyes away doesn't mean that she has a deep grudge, maybe she just wants to see the world more.

At this moment, Julian's mind was empty. He stood like a dead tree beside the cooling Eagle Girl, let the wind stir, but never took a step, as if he had forgotten what he had to do. But was Julian really in a daze? No, by looking closely at Nanokai's unusual eyes, Julian gradually understood her true intentions.

"I'm sorry, you're not stupid. Julian apologized to Nanokai's body.

Recalling what Nan Nokai said just now, it confirmed Julian's thoughts. If Nananokai had faithfully carried out her duties without reservation, there would have been no need to tell Julian in such detail what Julian did not know about the "eternal victory" of the Holy Sword. Rather than celebrating the fact that her three sisters had tried everything to consume Julian's 3 lives, she was suggesting and reminding Julian that he only had 4 chances to save his life against Ipeya.

No one knows how powerful and terrifying Ipeia is better than Nanokai, and because Nanokhai is such a smart person, it is impossible to say that she is completely unaware of the abnormality of what Ipeia is doing and blindly follows it, just because of the existence of the oath that it is impossible to openly betray her princess. In fact, the reason why Nanokai never closed his eyes at the moment before he died was to entrust his expectations to Julian through his eyes. She wants Julian to do what she couldn't do: stop Ipeya.

"I have received your good intentions. Julian silently thanked Nanokai in his heart.

He took off the mantle that hung behind his back and was worn by the badge of the Templar Commander, and gently placed it over Nanokei's body.

At this moment, the sound of "rustling" came from the ruins behind Julian. When Julian turned his head, he saw the bloodied iron man, using his only movable left hand, stubbornly and painfully moving on the ground, inch by inch, approaching Julian's position.

"General Bazak Menavino?!" Julian was surprised and delighted to see that the general was still alive, and quickly stood up and walked over.

But the general shook his head and stopped him. It was then that Julian noticed the general's tragic condition. It was a miracle that he was still alive after so many fatal blows, and the general was thrown far away by Ipeya's magic, but he insisted on crawling back to the battlefield, leaving a wide and long bloody path where he crawled, which was shocking. In such a torment, even if Ipeya's magical attacks didn't kill him, he would eventually die from blood loss.

"Don't worry, I'll stop Ipeia. After confirming that the other party refused to treat him, the only thing Julian could do was to promise the general what he could.

"Nope. Unexpectedly, the general refused again, "You have to save her." Save Empress Ipeia. ”

With that, General Menavino took his last breath and drooped his head, drowning in the mud and his own blood.

It is ironic that loyal subordinates hope that outsiders will stop their masters, while his subordinates, who have been betrayed by the monarch, still hope to save their own king. What kind of upside-down world is this?, Julian sighed helplessly. He felt the burden on his back increase inexplicably.

There are two flowers, one on each branch.

Just as Julian broke into the old warehouse protected by the illusion barrier and saved General Menavino's life from Ipeia and others, Owen, who was in another illusion barrier, was at odds with a plant.

This vine grows by absorbing the spiritual power of thunder, and it is not difficult to completely destroy it, but in this way, it will be destroyed along with the spirit of thunder.

Owen saw the tricky part of it, and he couldn't help but be a little jealous, but he couldn't let that hold him back.

"Well, that's the only way to go. ”

Thinking of this, Owen gave up all resistance, allowing the thorny vines to wrap around his body, spikes digging into his blood.
