Chapter Ninety-Five: Dissolution
"It's not a pair of two, it's a pair of three. {We don't write novels, we're just online text porters-" Ipeia raised a slight frown.
Julian, who had been thrown into the rubble, got back to his feet, holding his twin swords horizontally and assuming an offensive posture.
Owen smiled bitterly: "You are really a 'friend' who is not easy to worry about." ”
"Kill him. Ipeia ordered in a short, cold tone.
The "slaves" who are controlled by the enchanting magic are unable to resist the orders of the "master". Before Ipeya could finish speaking, Julian was already rushing towards Owen like an arrow from a string, and his two swords stabbed straight into Owen's chest and throat.
But Owen didn't panic, a subtle smile curled into the corners of his mouth, and his feet slid back two or three steps in succession. Owen took a step back, and Julian stepped forward, the distance between the tip of the sword and Owen's fragile skin never narrowed.
Suddenly, I heard a "bang", and the place where Owen was standing, and where Julian was now standing, collapsed without warning, and the defenseless lower half of Julian's body was planted into this sudden pit.
Owen always seemed to anticipate the enemy's opportunity, and he had long expected such a situation, so in the time he had just spoken, he silently used the shattering telekinesis on the ground under his feet. Since he used to use the crushing telekinesis in the team, he had to use his hands to make contact with the target, but in fact, Owen had already mastered the method of transmitting telekinesis through his boots and feet, but he had never used it in front of anyone, so none of the three enemies present saw through the trap he had laid.
Julian, who fell into the pit with half of his body, was unable to use the power below his waist, and the deterrent power on the sword naturally decreased significantly. Owen dodged Julian's slash and leaped over Julian's head.
Prince Harlan seized the opportunity of Owen's unobstructed air and fired an arrow with a "whoosh". Although Owen tried to move his body, he only avoided the fatal part, and was still hit by the tendon of his right calf with a sharp arrow, and the blood flowed profusely.
After landing, Owen was in a half-squat. Instead of pulling out the arrow, he didn't retaliate against Prince Harun, but decisively threw the black hedron in his hand into the distance.
"What!" Prince Harlan didn't expect Owen to suddenly come to such a hand, he immediately stopped shooting and threw himself at the place where the black hedron was discarded.
Julian, who was temporarily out of a big trouble, turned around and slapped Julian on the back with greatly restricted movements. Julian's sword swept back, but because he couldn't twist his waist, the slashing angle of this sword was limited, and Owen turned his head away, narrowly flashing the sword, and a few strands of silver hair were shaved out and scattered in the air. However, Owen's movements were not hindered, and before Julian could swing his second sword, his palm was pressed against the knight's armor behind Julian's back.
Getting along with Julian these days has made Owen fully understand the structure of this set of blessed knight armor made of Mithril sword gold, without making a loud sound, and the back part of the armor is "quietly" dispersed into a sub-state. Owen then removed his other hand from the wound on his chest and slapped it on the skin of Julian's back that had been exposed by the lack of armor.
** without the protection of the Warframe is quite vulnerable, especially when it is attacked by the shattering telekinesis. Julian's back suddenly opened with flesh, and a palm-sized blood hole appeared, and in Julian's scream, blood gushed out, like a fountain of blood.
Julian soon went into shock from massive blood loss, and the two swords in his hands fell to the ground.
Owen, who was sprayed as a "blood man", let out a long sigh of relief before standing up unhurriedly and facing Ipeya. Due to the arrow wound to his foot, he looked a little unsteady on his feet.
"You actually killed him? kept saying that you were for your friend, but you were so merciless to your 'friend', the concubine really underestimated you. Ipeya's eyes were full of anger and surprise, she clenched her magic staff, and a large amount of magic was transmitted to the earth, and in an instant, five earth elementals were summoned.
"Don't say that, Miss. Such a result is always much better than being controlled by charm magic and becoming a puppet without its own mind. Owen sneered at Ipeia without any resentment.
"Shut up, you monster! The concubine wants to avenge Julian!" At this moment, Ipeya was completely enraged, and her magic wand slammed into the ground, and five earth elementals surrounded Owen.
"Ha, I made my own monster and said I was a monster. Miss, your logic is really strange. Owen teased.
"Whoosh" -- another strong hatred is rapidly approaching. Owen, who had his feet on the ground, leaned back and avoided the deadly arrow.
"Bastard, how dare you lie to me!" Prince Harlan's angry voice came from the spot where the arrow had been fired, the same place where Owen had thrown the black hedrons.
I saw that Prince Harun was holding the empty bow in his left hand and the black spar in his right hand, and threw it back to Owen. With a "snap", the "black spar" fell to the ground. It wasn't a black hedron cut from Kassandra's Watch at all, it was just an ordinary stone of comparable size. Just now, when Owen threw out the black spar, he used a trick similar to the trick of tricks, stealing the dragon and turning the phoenix the moment the black spar was out of his hand, turning it into this ordinary stone.
"That's a strange thing you said, Mr. Riverside. Did I mention this gadget was just thrown out?" Owen raised his left hand, holding the black hedron between his index and middle fingers.
"Give it back, you thief!" the humiliated Prince Harun's face turned the color of pig's liver, and he scolded him without caring about his aristocratic demeanor.
"If you really want this 'Star Key', you can! At this point, Owen paused, "Also, give back another of my friend's fingers." ”
"Star Key?" Prince Harlan paused.
"Oh, it seems that you don't know what you're looking for, it seems that the so-called seventh-level 'Dancer of the Clouds' and eighth-level 'Priest of the Thunder Temple' are not high-level classes in the Truth Society, you are just pawns that can be sacrificed at will, just like the first four levels. Owen tossed the black hedron in his hand, the Star Key, upwards and then withdrew it.
"Don't think that you can get yourself out of trouble by trying to get us out of trouble by trying to get us out of trouble. Pay attention to your own situation, although you plotted against Julian, but you were also hit by an arrow in your foot, and the wound on your chest is still bleeding, even if you are one against two, with your current state, is there still a chance of winning?"
And Prince Harun was too lazy to talk nonsense, he took out a new arrow from the quiver. There was only one thing he had to do: to recover the black hedron from Owen's corpse.
Five earth elementals lunged at Owen at the same time, blocking all of Owen's retreats. However, Owen did not dodge or defend, and stayed quietly in place.
"Bang", "Bang", "Bang", "Bang", "Bang" - the fists of the five earth elementals were slashed out in succession at the moment when they were about to touch Owen. At the same time, Owen's body was wrapped in a cloud of pure white light, and the arrow he had pinned to his right calf automatically retreated, and then the wounds on his chest and leg were rapidly healing.
"Miss. I trust you so much!" A voice full of disappointment and righteous indignation came from behind Owen.
Julian stood up again. He clenched the magic sword "Tears of Repentance" in his right hand, slashed the monster that attacked Owen with a sword, and lifted the silver cross with his right hand, casting healing magic on himself and Owen. The skin and muscles on Julian's back were horribly bloody, but they didn't hurt his lungs or heart.
"Julian, ...... you" Seeing Julian "live" again, Ipeia was surprised and delighted, but before she could say anything, she suddenly felt a heat in her chest.
Ipeia looked down and found that the necklace hanging from her neck was cracked, and the magic crystal pendant that sealed the magic magic cracked, and then the crack became bigger and bigger, and finally with a "snap", the crystal pendant shattered and scattered on the ground. When she looked up at Julian again, she found that Julian's eyes were no longer cloudy, only clear and resolute.
"Could it be...... How could it be?" Ipeya knew that Julian was out of her control. It's just that she couldn't figure out for a moment how Owen helped Julian remove the charm magic.
"Remember, 800 loaves of bread, 1,000 cakes, not a single one is missing. Luna, the winged elf sitting on a pillar, repeated the reminder as she munched on a packet of peanuts that she had pulled out of nowhere.
"I see. Ipeia was shocked.
Although I couldn't fully guess it, it was probably the ghost of this winged elf.
And Owen's expression just confirmed this. A few minutes earlier, Luna had given Owen the Star Key and circled him twice before reaching the pillar, during which time the Winged Elf whispered in Owen's ear, "On your back." ”
That is, in the hot spring under the villa, when Julian and Ipeia were bathing together, Ipeia hugged Julian from behind, and her crystal pendant was just burned on Julian's back, and it was also the part where the enchanting magic array was colonized. There are two things that Owen asked the Winged Elves to do for him, one is to take the opportunity to take the treasure found by Prince Harlan in reward of 800 loaves of bread, and the other is to carefully observe the location of the magic circle on Julian's body when Ipeia activates the charm magic, and the reward is 1000 cakes.
Thankfully, driven by food, the usually unreliable Wing Elf successfully completed these two tasks.
"Julian, you have to be calm, things are not what you think, the concubine is ......"
"Needless to say, Miss, I won't help you anymore. ”
Julian coldly interrupted Ipeya's explanation. A person who has been charged with charm will retain the memories of the time before he was charmed, and vice versa, after the charm is removed, the memories of the period during the accusation will also be retained. Truth Society, Conspiracy, Exploitation, Deception...... What Julian saw and heard, came to his mind.
"Three pays one? No, it's two against two now. Owen stepped back and stood side by side with Julian
