Chapter 106: Heart Death
"I ...... It's ugly......"
The crumpled Frey, shaking her chapped lips, struggled to squeeze out a few words.
"I won't dislike you, never!" Julian said as she hugged Frey tightly and promised in an oath-sworn tone.
He won't tell lies like "No, you're still beautiful" in order to comfort Frey, and the beauty and ugliness of his appearance can't be reduced to half of his love for the woman in his arms.
Julian, who gave up resistance, completely ignored the 16 flying swords that accompanied the Sharon roll from the sky. Being able to die with the woman he loves the most and not vain his life, Julian is satisfied.
The saloon roll was like a thousand-ton boulder, weighing down heavily. Julian shielded Frey with his body, and the sand and flying sword continued to pound his back. Some swords slammed into the thicker parts of the Mithril alloy armor and slid to the side, while others pierced through the fragments of the armor and stabbed into Julian's body. Julian's back was pierced by 3 flying swords, and Frey, who was heavily protected, was also pierced by 1 flying sword. Julian, however, felt quiet and relaxed like never before.
......
Suddenly, Julian felt the overwhelming sand and spiraling flying swords all disappear in an instant.
Has my soul reached heaven? That was the first thought that popped into Julian's mind, but he soon found out that it wasn't, for the sharp pain in his back was a clear reminder that Julian was still alive.
The reason why Sharon Roll and Flying Sword suddenly stopped was because Ipeia took the initiative to disarm the magic.
It wasn't because Ipeia suddenly had a conscience and decided to spare Julian a way out, but because she sensed that a third extremely dangerous enemy had appeared.
Standing in front of Ipeia was a petite girl shrouded in a wide cloak. On the surface, the little girl looks harmless to humans and animals, but only those who are at the scene can truly appreciate how creepy the murderous aura emanating from this fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl is.
The little girl pulled down the hood of her cloak. She was a beautiful woman, but she was more beautiful than Ipeia and Frey, but the fly in the ointment was that the corner of her left eye seemed to have been hit by a hard object not long ago, and the corner of her eye burst open, and the skin around her was red and swollen, and half of her face was stained red by the blood that flowed down.
"Whew--woo-woo-woo......"
A terrible wolf howl, from static to moving, there seemed to be no change in time. The coarse cloth clothes worn by the little girl, along with the cloak that was put on the outside, were shattered by her own rapidly swollen body.
The delicate and pitiful little girl is gone, replaced by a huge female gray wolf with teeth and claws!
Without any mud and water, the giant wolf after completing the transformation swooped down on Julian, who was seriously injured on the ground......
After a few thrilling back-and-forths, Owen finally knocked down one of the giant wolves besieging him.
The unfortunate teenager had changed back into human form, lying naked in a pool of blood. Owen kicked his skull and shattered his skull, then raised his elbow and slammed the delicate lower thalamus. Due to the severe damage to the pituitary gland, the werewolf clan lost its powerful self-healing ability, and finally collapsed to the ground.
However, although Owen knocked down a monster, the situation did not improve. These werewolves are a higher level of strength than the werewolves he encountered in the Holy City before, not only that, but these four werewolves also have the ability to coordinate operations that the previous werewolves did not have, and they do not simply rely on the nature of beasts to fight, and it seems that they have undergone extremely rigorous training. Now that the remaining three giant wolves are covering each other and guarding the weaknesses of their companions, it may be impossible for Owen to defeat the second giant wolf in the same way.
Suddenly, the three giant wolves, which were like a single body, stopped the onslaught they were about to launch on Owen, dispersed, and retreated.
Such a scene made Owen stunned. But he soon understood the reason for the werewolves' sudden retreat, because a new and powerful enemy had appeared.
"Pap", "Pap", "Pap", "Pap", ......
Behind the back, a thin, bloodless man clapped slowly but hard.
"Ahem, rumor has it that there is a wild boy, ahem, ahem, who helped Princess Sophia against the prophet of Judah. Ahem," the thin man said with a smirk, "it seems, ahem, ahem...... That wild boy is you. ”
"The Truth Society?" Since the other party called Judas a "prophet", Owen knew his identity immediately, even if there was no need to guess.
"Don't be nervous. The man made a relaxed gesture, "The organization wants to clean you up, it's easy, cough cough cough...... But not now. As long as...... Ahem...... As long as you don't hinder us from cleaning up the traitors, ahem, ahem...... When this conflict never happened. cough cough cough cough ......"
The thin man looked like he had lung disease, coughing as he spoke, and he couldn't finish a sentence in full.
But Owen didn't relax because the other party looked like a sick man: "Clean up the traitors, hmph, you truth will want to do something to Julian." I will not allow it. ”
Owen tidied up the neckline. His movements seem casual, but he is ready to attack the thin man at any moment.
The gray wolf, transformed from a young girl, pounces on Julian, who is so injured that he has lost his ability to resist. With three flying swords stuck in his body, he couldn't avoid such a blow, but even if he could move freely, Julian wouldn't avoid it, for Frey was lying behind him.
Is there a certain death? No! Julian is once again in a desperate situation.
At the last moment, Ipeia's whole body instantly turned into sand, and the metal wheels flew quickly in front of Julian, and Ipeia instantly materialized in front of the wheels.
"The Empress's Aegis" - Ipeia takes off the round shield that is embedded in the center of the wheel and has never been useful, and unleashes the Valkyrie's strongest defense. This time, Ipeia could no longer avoid attacks by desertification, and to protect Julian behind her, she had to withstand all the onslaught of the wolf head-on.
It's strange to say, Ipeia had tried to kill Julian a few seconds earlier, but now she was desperate to protect him. Probably even Ipeia herself didn't know the contradictions in her heart.
The giant wolf had already rushed to him, and Ipeia concentrated all her physical and magical energy into a round shield to resist the powerful onslaught that was coming, but ......
The force coming from the shield was light, and the giant wolf disappeared the moment it touched the shield, and it turned out to be nothing more than an afterimage formed by high-speed movement. Ipeia paused for a moment, but she didn't expect the menacing giant wolf to turn out to be just a trick, so the question is, where is the entity of the giant wolf?
"Watch your back!"
Before Julian's warning was finished, the giant wolf that suddenly appeared behind Ipeia had already waved its claws.
"Ahh......h
From the empty underground city came a scream from Ipeya, and blood splattered everywhere.
Time seems to be frozen in that moment.
"You misunderstood, we're just purging traitors. Ahem, ahem, ahem......" The thin man shook his head with a smile.
"Oh! You sound, as if you're not targeting Julian?" Owen snorted.
The thin man, Mukasha, looked at Owen noncommittally and did not answer his question directly.
At this moment, the other three giant wolves present picked up the corpses of their companions and moved behind Mukasha step by step for the camp.
"Where do you want to go?" The other party's actions did not look like they were going to war, but as if they were retreating, but Owen did not agree, "Since Your Excellency boasted of Haikou just now, then there is no need to choose a date to clean up me, let's do it now." ”
"Hey, hey. Mukasha saw through Owen's purpose of trying to hold him back, "The mission is over, I don't need to stay." cough cough cough ...... Boy, we'll have a date later, ahem...... If you're still alive. ”
With that, Mukasha threw a scroll, and suddenly a teleportation magic circle appeared on the ground in front of him. The three werewolves carrying the corpses of their companions walked into the teleportation array one by one.
"Did I tell you to go?" Owen grabbed a small pebble and threw it at Mukasha like a fairy scatter.
Owen knew that Mukasha wanted to escape, but as long as it interfered with the knots of his spell, it would be difficult to activate the teleportation circle.
But the small pebbles flying all over the sky were blocked by an invisible magical barrier half a meter in front of Mukasha, and they fell to the ground one after another.
"I may not be your opponent when it comes to fighting alone, but if I want to go, you can't keep it. This time, Mukasha didn't cough and finished in one go.
Only then did Owen notice that a silver cross hanging from Mukasha's chest was faintly glowing. In the air, about 2 meters above Owen's head, a transparent hammer - a rare direct attack magic in light magic, the "Mental War Hammer", was quietly and silently formed, falling rapidly from the sky, instantly smashing Owen's brain to the point - if Owen hadn't jumped backwards in time for a moment before the hammer fell.
Under the cover of the "Spiritual War Hammer", Mukasha calmly walked into the magic array, and a pink ball of magic light wrapped Mukasha and the four werewolves.
"Where to run!"
Owen, who had avoided the sneak attack of the "Mental Warhammer", immediately counterattacked, picking up a brick on the ground and throwing it towards the magic circle with all his might. The brick pierced the barrier and was thrown into a pink ball of magical light, but it was unable to stop Mukasha from escaping.
The magic orb of light and the magic circle beneath their feet disappeared without a trace, leaving only the magic scrolls that had completely lost their magic power and turned into waste.
"This guy is coughing as a cover and secretly casting magic. Damn, how could I have let him escape if I had known about it earlier?" Owen sat down on a piece of the ruined wall and pondered, "Cleaning up traitors, if not dealing with Julian, who would be the traitors to be cleaned up? him, or her?"
Jana, the little girl who succeeded her late brother as the new leader of the werewolves, was released from her metamorphosis and transformed back into a human body, and the damage at the corner of her eye was healed, but her original clothes were in pieces, and she could only walk naked and disappear from Julian's vision.
Purge the traitors of the Truth Society - this is the task that Mukasha gave to Jana: to kill the person on the portrait that Mukasha gave her - Empress Ipeia II of the Rokar Empire.
Unlike her older brother, who was uneducated, Jane had to be carefully observed and prepared before acting. Her attack on Julian was nothing more than a feint, in order to trick Ipeya, who possessed the soul of the Valkyrie, into giving up sandification to protect Julian so that she could attack Ipea's entity. In fact, everything was just as Jana expected, she successfully dug up the Valkyrie statue from Ipeia's physical strength, so that the empress, who was extremely strong just now, instantly lost her strength, and after turning back into a weak physique, she could not bear such a serious injury, and death was inevitable.
Falling in a pool of blood, there was a statue of the Valkyrie abandoned by Jaina not far away, only a foot away, and the drowning Ipeia couldn't move her fingers. In her increasingly blurred vision, she saw Julian carrying Frey's corpse on his back, dragging the magic sword "Tears of Repentance" in his right hand, walking towards her step by step.
The flying sword nailed to Julian and Frey also disappeared with the disappearance of Vagre's soul. Although the Holy Sword "Eternal Victory" is slowly recovering from Julian's physical injuries, it cannot heal the wounds in his heart.
"It doesn't matter, whether you're Winrith or not...... The reincarnation, please, please give it to me...... A happy ...... "As she was dying, Ipea made the last, humblest, and most extravagant request to Julian.
Julian was expressionless, he didn't kill Ipeya, who was only half breathing, and he didn't try to save her. After staring for a moment, he silently threw the sword in front of her.
"I don't even have the qualifications to die at your hands. "Ipeia was disappointed.
In the last seconds of her life, she finally truly entered Julian's heart, which was dead and gone with the only person he loved.
Mourning is greater than heart death!
Looking back on what she had done, she had exhausted all her efforts, but only got such a result, and what was Ipeia's final mood was that she couldn't tell anyone. After closing her eyes for eternity, Ipeia shed a tear that fell right on top of the Magic Sword's Tears of Repentance.
