Chapter 156: Secret
"Your Highness...... Your Highness......" A rapid call rang in Clara's ears. She struggled and saw blurred figures surrounding her, whirling around in confusion. And Li Ling was still standing in front of her, as if he was going to defend her against the attack from Mia. These people are her biggest hole cards, awakened warriors who have been secretly cultivated outside of her regular team of black-armored knights. I didn't expect to be completely exposed in front of Queen Mia now.
Clara kept her head down, trying to avoid the heavy, mountain-like sun, but the air grew sticky at the same time, squeezing her aging body like a quagmire, squeezing through her nostrils, mouth, and ears, trying to burst her internal organs and all her soft organs.
Clara felt like she couldn't hold out any longer, and maybe Mia really wanted to kill her. It's a pity that the last blow never fell, so that she has been in that painful state of life is worse than death
"Your Majesty...... I...... I can't hold it anymore! Clara's face was bloodless, and her withered palms were stuck in the sand
"Your Majesty, can you feel my pain? I know you will, as you once did, give me your love and forgiveness. Clara begged. Images of her youth began to come to her mind. After his heroic battle with Batman, he fell to the ground covered in pain, suffering, and loss of his loved ones. And Mia, it was at her most difficult and painful time that she came to visit her in person.
Mia looked at her with the pity of a leader and the loving eyes of a mother, encouraging her to cheer up, avenge her loved ones, her parents and brothers, and work for the growth of the royal city. Then, Mia shows Clara her determination and strength. Since then, Clara has regained her fighting spirit and purpose, and has become one of the most powerful and loyal "shadows" under Mia's command......
Now, those distant memories resurfaced clearly in Clara's mind, and she longed for Mia's mercy and support again, and longed to be intoxicated by Mia's mental strength and spiritual guidance again
Unfortunately, Clara didn't hear any answer. She suddenly realized that there was not a single sound coming from Queen Mia's side except for the commotion behind her while she was struggling.
Clara suddenly felt a hint of anger rising from the bottom of her heart, and kept muttering in her mind: "She must be watching my jokes, trying to make me ugly in front of everyone, trying to humiliate and torture me like a monkey, and then ...... There is no doubt that she will pull the attack at the last minute...... Then, she will continue to control me, fight me, and make me a real shadow ......"
"Nope! I will not let you succeed! Clara let out a low roar. The voices that kept echoing in her heart hissed out of her clenched teeth: "Old ...... Hag! If you have the ability, you can ...... Kill me! β
β¦β¦
Still no one answered her. Clara looked up with difficulty, and sure enough, she saw Mia looking at her with a smile on her face. And Bren, Aemon, and the lowly men in black standing behind her. Clara saw another familiar figure not far away, followed by several men in leather clothes, who were Mia's spokesperson in the politics of the royal city - Ina. Each of them looked at her silently, with a look of mockery, smile, confusion, or surprise on their faces. As Clara expected, these disgusting expressions confirmed her suspicion that Mia wanted to humiliate herself in front of the public and completely destroy her courage to resist her.
What's even more shameful is that Mia doesn't even care about her insults, making it clear that she doesn't care about her humble self anymore, just like a beast can't see the provocation of an ant.
"Bastard, I'm not one of those guys next to you, willingly becoming your shadow! Now, I'm going to show you that even an ant can bite a beast! Clara growled again. The indomitable will was gradually amplified in her heart...... Magnify......
Gradually, with a sinister grin, Clara stood up. The black-armored knights behind her felt Clara's emotions, and each Rao had a resentful and resolute expression on his face, as if at the slightest thought of Clara, they would not hesitate to rush over and fight the enemy.
Clara set her eyes on Li Ling's body, she saw Li Ling's throat trembling violently, as if she was already angry because of the humiliation she had received, and she couldn't wait to carry out her orders. Clara was glad that she had made the riskiest but most advantageous decision to take Li Ling for herself. With the assistance of strong physical fitness and soul power, Li Ling's combat power will even be above Ina.
Clara picked up her sword from the ground, a beautiful but not heavy sword, forged by the swordsmith for hundreds of days and nights to remove the magazine from it. As long as she moved her thoughts, the sword would ghostly pass through the heart of the enemy according to her wishes, and then return to her hand again
Ever since she was able to control hundreds of different targets at once, controlling the sword alone had made it difficult for her to meet opponents on the battlefield, and of course, it was difficult for her to experience the thrill of killing enemies too easily. But now, she plans to use her full strength once again, using this invincible sword to kill Mia, the demon who tried to enslave her.
Clara thought as she quietly controlled the raging flame in her mind, letting its temperature pass through her palm and gradually extend to the sword in her hand.
"Come on Clara, don't bother!" Mia suddenly opened her mouth.
Clara suddenly realized that as her guide, Mia must be able to clearly sense the hostility in her heart, and she may have been prepared for it a long time ago.
"Die! Mia! Your reign and servitude are over. Clara shouted, urging her sword towards Mia's chest.
The flames in my head exploded and scattered like fireworks. The sword didn't fly towards Mia as she had hoped, but stuck to her palm and buzzed. If it weren't for the fact that her palm was clutching the hilt of the sword, the sword would have fallen to the ground.
Clara felt a pang in her mind and screamed in pain. She thought that Mia must have sensed her hostility and used some secret magic in advance.
It's too late to stop now, and Mia will definitely torture herself with more shameful and evil tricks, and instead of that, it is better to use all the power she has. Even if you fail, you can only blame yourself for your lack of strength.
Wiping a handful of blood from the corners of her mouth, Mia hissed, "All knights obey orders." Li Ling listens to the order! β
"Clickββ!" The sound of neat footsteps and the grinding of armor sounded, and all the soldiers under Clara picked up their weapons and waited for Clara's order.
"Kill this woman for me, this demon who insults your master and tries to turn everyone into shadows!" Clara shouted, and her voice was heard far away. She believed that the crowd gathered behind Mia had heard her roar as well.
If any of them had the same free will as they were, they might have turned against Mia and stabbed Mia in the back. Then the inspired, impulsive will rush up and chop the demon that rides on top of them into meat sauce. That is the perfect ending, Mia's corpse and biography will be filled with jokes and intrigues, and will become everyone's after-dinner conversation. And ...... for yourself Not only will he not be charged with killing the king, but he may not have become a hero who bravely resists oppression and enslavement! Become...... The Next Queen!
The more Clara thought about it, the more excited she became, her eyes glowing with blazing light. Just waiting for the black-armored warriors behind him to rush up.
It's a pity that she waited for a long time, and when her chaotic thoughts and excited mood had gradually calmed down, she still didn't see those black-armored knights who were absolutely loyal to her pouring out, and Li Ling was also standing not far from her side without moving. She couldn't even feel the excitement they used to get when they received orders from her.
Clara looked over at Mia, only to see that she was still staring at her coldly, as if laughing at her own powerlessness and stupidity.
"How so?" Clara shouted at Mia reluctantly. "When did you subdue them? Did you do it a long time ago? β
Facing the hoarse Clara, Mia seemed quite calm, and just said flatly: "In the face of your mother, your master, even you don't have the courage to use yourself, how dare your subordinates?" β
"No, no, they accepted my guidance, and even if I told them to die, they would not hesitate to kill themselves. Look at this outsider Li Ling, if I hadn't told him to stop at the last moment, he would have died a long time ago. β
"Yes, they were guided by you, but you were also guided by me. They also have my blessings in them. Unless you completely remove the soul power from yourself and them. Your subordinates took up their swords with courage and charged at me. However, at that time, with the weak bodies of you people, it will be difficult to even pick up a long sword, right? β
"You liar, if you are like this, there will be no one to deal with you anymore?"
"No, those stinking butts might hurt me, so I'm still scared of them!" Mia chuckled. Eyes glanced away at a young knight in the far corner. The knight's face still looked immature, perhaps he had just become a Knight of Trials. At this moment, seeing the famous Mia Female Dynasty glancing at herself, she was so frightened that her hands trembled, and the long sword in her hand fell on Lin with a "clang".
Clara's face immediately turned red, and she wanted to go over and kill this weak and incompetent fellow.
"Hahaha!" Mia laughed uncontrollably, and said in a flirtatious tone: "It's been too long, too long, I don't know how long it has been, maybe since I ascended the throne, I have never been so happy as I am now." Then, Mia slowly walked towards Clara, and only when she was less than a foot away from her, did she whisper, "Clara, have you ever thought that even if you can overthrow my rule and become the leader of the human race, what will you get that you can't have now?" How long will your aging body remain in this world? β
"I ......" Clara was stunned for a moment, and then said unadmittedly: "As long as I get my own dignity and my own personality, I am not like Ina and Emmon, who are willing to be a shadow and a lackey!" β
"Hehe...... Mia chuckled again, her smile grew bigger and bigger, and even her face began to shake violently. Since you're obsessed, I'll tell you a secret. Only tell you one person, but, after knowing the secret, you will die! β
Clara looked at Mia in horror. Her creamy face began to peel off from her presumptuous smile, revealing pale, spotted and wrinkled skin. He looks even older than himself, even with a hint of hideousness.
That's when she realized. Mia was already ten years older than herself, and her youthful and beautiful appearance was completely an illusion that she tried to hide. This thought made Clara's heart feel so happy that she even forgot about Mia's death threats against her. She deliberately smiled contemptuously at the woman in front of her, who seemed noble, but was actually afraid of death.
"That secret is ......" Mia didn't care about Clara's abnormality, because she couldn't wait to share her achievements and secrets with others. She continued to walk towards Clara, lowered her head and put her lips on Clara's earlobe, and said in a voice that only she and Clara could hear, "Now, I'm going to tell you who I really am, 'Mia' is just a name that you mortals know. Now, I have my own kind of people...... No, maybe the term 'human' is no longer the right thing to use. I, and the infinite number of our kind in the universe whose name is ......" said Mia, and Mia heard the rumbling, proud voice of the Father: "Soul Breaker." β
As if a thunderbolt exploded around her, Clara looked at Mia in horror. It's like looking at an evil monster crawling up from the abyss. If anyone heard Mia's words, they wouldn't have been so shocked. But Clara is different, because of her knowledge of the short history of humanity in this world, because of her age and status, and because of her sense of rebellion in her heart, she has long guessed that Mia's sudden transformation from a young girl to a powerful leader must have a truth and evil purpose beyond the human race.
It's a pity that Clara deliberately ignored the matter. She is not a great man, but just a strong woman, and she has been pursuing more freedom and fame than boundless justice. But now, Clara knows that it is too late, and that Mia will do everything in her power to tell her such an important secret.
