"To save the people, you must kill your friends, and to keep your friends alive, your people must die." If you want to protect both, give your own life. Christina shook her finger and said, "You won't be ignorant of such a simple algorithm." ”

"Don't forget what you said. Sophia replied calmly.

With that, she disarmed the Valkyrie's soul, then removed the silver cross from her neck and threw it on the ground.

"Hmph, are you going to sacrifice yourself and carry out your hypocrisy to the end? How great, how kind, how disgusting!" Christina commanded with disdain, "go and kill her at once!"

However, although the order was given, none of the surviving rebel soldiers around dared to step forward. Even though they were facing a defenseless and weak girl who had given up resistance, none of the men had taken a step forward. All of them, who have experienced the "Ten Thousand People Conference", know Sophia's strong strength very well, and no one dares to act rashly.

"What are you afraid of, a bunch of cowards!" Christina retorted.

As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed that Sophia was watching her. Christina was stared at by her, and although Sophia didn't say a word, her eyes clearly questioned Christina: "What about you? Why don't you do it yourself?"

"Hmph! I won't fall for you. Christina curled the corners of her mouth and ordered Cassius, "Kill her." ”

Cassius raised his "Grip of Endurance", and the water elemental focused on the top of the magic, forming a huge "Ice Hammer". The Ice Hammer was flung out and slashed through the air in an arc that slammed into Sophia, who was not in a piece of armor. But Sophia didn't dodge, she didn't cast any defensive magic on her body, but closed her eyes and waited silently......

"Boom" - with a dull thud, Sophia's body flew backwards. The "ice hammer" slammed into her abdomen, and she was defenseless to withstand all the impact, and Sophia's stomach turned upside down, her internal organs were covered and injured, and a mouthful of bloody arrows spurted out with a "boom".

Sophia, who fell to the ground, was unable to get up, and her body was covered with a thin layer of ice that hindered her movement. At this time, Joyka had rushed forward at Christina's order, armed with a Mithril alloy longsword, and without hesitation, stabbed the sword into Sophia's heart.

"Whew!"--Blood flies, and the blade pierces Sophia's delicate body......

Who am I?

Where am I?

What am I doing?

The lonely soul awakens to ask questions that no one answers. The darkness of nothingness, without the concept of time and space, at the end of consciousness, is like the blank emptiness of human beings when they are born...... Until, there is a glimmer of light filling.

The boundless and infinite, beginningless and endless chaos, at the moment when this faint light appeared, seemed to have lost its proper balance, and the darkness seemed to be split by an invisible giant axe with a "clang", and the change of the color of the world refilled into this darkness of nothingness.

Just because no one answers doesn't mean there aren't answers.

"Who am I?"

I'm Joyka.

"Where am I?"

By the way, I'm ...... It seems to be in a Fellow camp.

"What am I doing?"

I...... I...... I'm fighting alongside Sophia!

The imprisoned consciousness broke through the cage and rushed away in the light......

The sword pierced the fragile flesh of the person, and with a muffled "snort", blood gushed out from the punctured artery.

Joika's fatal sword failed to pierce Sophia's heart. Even if she is locked in ice, it does not mean that Sophia is completely incapacitated. She made a slight movement of her body in the nick of time, avoiding the tip of the sword from contact with the deadly point, and the sword passed only past her shoulder.

Immediately after, Sophia stretched out her bloody hands and tightly grasped Joika's sword-wielding right hand.

"Hmph! What do you say, I am willing to sacrifice myself for the sake of my people and friends. In the end, it is nothing more than a gorgeous lie that is greedy for life and afraid of death. Seeing Sophia's desperate resistance at the last moment, Christina sneered with disgust.

"No, I never wanted to sacrifice myself. Sophia, in the double pain of sword wounds and hammer blows, responded solemnly to Christina, "I will not give up my life, nor will I give up my people or friends. You are using such despicable means to threaten me because you have no idea the true meaning and power of the word 'companion'. ”

"Cut! What 'companions'? Bah, both of your companions are my slaves!"

"You are wrong, even if you are controlled by your evil magic, I will believe them. I believed it before, I believe it now, and I will believe it again in the future!"

Sophia smiled and spoke her inner thoughts.

At this time, in the eyes of Christina and a dozen rebel soldiers in the distance, Sophia's body seemed to glow with a burst of holy light, not to mention the thought of blasphemy, even if it was at eye level, it would make people's hearts irresistible awe. Some of the rebel soldiers with weak willpower even knelt down with a "porphyr" and gave up the idea of becoming an enemy of Sophia.

"Thank you, Sophia," a voice suddenly sounded in Sophia's head, "thank you for still trusting me at this time. ”

At this time, Joyka's mouth did not move, nor did he make any sound, but his awakened self-consciousness had already conveyed what he was about to say to Sophia's mind.

"She's sending the power of the 'stigma' in her body to Joika through her blood?!" Christina finally understood what Sophia was trying to do. While no one knows what will happen when a Stigmata transfers the power of Stigmata to someone else, it is not necessarily impossible to unlock her absolute mind control activated by the Charm Magic.

"Stop her!no, deal with them!" Cristina shouted.

Cassius raised his wand and rained down on Sophia and Joeyka!

Before being shot into a hornet's nest by the sharp needle rain, Joyka picked up Sophia and bounced quickly, escaping from the range of the needle rain at unexpected speed.

Ordinary light magic can't purify the ghostly magic that is cast with itself as a conductor, but the "Stigmata" itself is holy and unpolluted, Sophia injects the power of the "Stigmata" into Joika through the contact of blood, and Joika, who receives the blood of the Stigmata, will temporarily transform into the physique of the "Stigmata", even if it is only for a few seconds, it is enough to reverse the extremely bad situation.

After sobering up, Joyka turned to Christina and shouted angrily: "Stinky mother-in-law!

"Damn!" Christina's brow twisted into a terrifying straight line, and she gave Cassius the order to kill him, who had not yet come into contact with Sophia's stigmata blood.

An even bigger "ice hammer" is created and thrown at Sophia and Joyka!

At this time, Joyka was unarmed and could not protect herself and Sophia at all. But Sophia endured the pain and pulled out the sword that had pierced her shoulder and threw it back to Joyka. After the Mithril alloy longsword was returned to its original owner, Joica took a step forward with the sword in both hands, and swung it vigorously towards the "ice hammer" that had already flown in front of her, which was larger than two people.

"Boom" - a huge "ice hammer" that flew up, and the Mithril alloy longsword inlaid with the gas element gem was smashed.

However, at the same time as smashing the "Ice Hammer", a huge amount of frozen magical energy was also released instantly. Joyka, who had no magical resistance, was covered in scattered cold, but he didn't move half a step, still standing firmly in front of Sophia, resisting all the cold for her.

Before she could even shout the warning of "run", Joyka was frozen in an irregular piece of ice like a mosquito in amber, and her movements of waving her sword and opening her mouth to shout were also frozen in that moment.

"How can this be!" Christina's face became even more ugly, "Cassius, kill everyone in the camp!"

"Stop!" scolded Sophia.

She struggled to her feet from a pool of blood, trying to stop the tragedy that followed, but it was too late. The manipulated Cassius had already raised his magic wand, and the magic melt inside the top gem was tumbling, and the huge magical energy was rapidly focusing.

Just before Cassius released his magical energy and the more than 10,000 people in the camp were collectively shattered into ice slag, another girl's cry was suddenly heard in the distant sky:

"Don't! Cassius ......"
