I am the eighth guard of the Tower of Seven Sins, and I will not let you go any further, this unexpected enemy is like a wall in front of Owen and Sophia

You are...... Seeing the face of this man who called himself the Eighth Guard, Sophia couldn't hold back the surprise in her heart, why could it be youJulien Rousseau, a few months ago, she and her companions fought side by side with the upright knight in front of her to destroy the evil necromancer, she never forgot that face for the rest of her life, the only difference was that there was a terrible centipede-shaped scar on this handsome face

Julian nodded slightly at the two of them

Owen Dao: I felt a sense of déjà vu just now, and I should have thought it was you, but I was still surprised when I actually saw you

Yes, Julian replied, "I've been searching for your whereabouts since the Battle of the Abandoned Town, and despite all the signs that you've been blown to pieces by that mysterious dark elf wizard, my subconscious hope is that you're not dead and that I'll be reunited with this old friend."

But I didn't expect us to meet again in this situation, right, my old friend

Maybe it's fate, Julian sighed, how happy I was when I saw that you weren't dead for the first time, but why were you the ones who broke into the tower? Cassius and Ray were the first to step into the Tower of the Seven Sins, and how earnestly I prayed that you would retreat from the odds, not to be killed by the guards in the tower, and not to come to me as you are now, but things often turn out unexpectedly, and I didn't expect you to defeat those terrible guards one by one, and what I didn't expect was that Owen was also coming—until that moment I knew that things had reached a point of no return

Have you been watching us Sophia asked

Yes, I used these magical treasures to monitor what was happening on each floor below, and then reported everything to Pope Julian, who was thousands of miles away, pointing to the wall to his left

Sophia and Owen followed Julian's direction, and saw nine silver plates as smooth as mirrors hanging on the wall, and in these silver plates, except for the rightmost one, the other eight sides were faintly recognizable, and some images appeared in them, and the two looked closely, and saw that the seven silver plates from left to right could see the situation in the seven layers of anger, greed, gluttony, laziness, jealousy, and arrogance, and in the eighth silver plate, Sophia and Owen saw an army gathering in the wilderness of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and the leader was King Duris

Inspired by His Majesty the King and his commanders, King Pole's warriors and soldiers soared and shouted victory as they rushed towards the entrance to the Tower of the Seven Sins

However, at this moment, an unexpected bloody scene occurred, only to see the five soldiers who rushed to the front ran less than thirty meters away from the entrance, and suddenly their bodies seemed to be torn apart by some mysterious and powerful force, and they were crushed in less than 1 second, and they didn't even have time to scream, and the soldiers who followed behind were splashed with blood by the meat scraps that came to their faces, but they had enough time to stop their steps and avoid following in the footsteps of those unfortunate colleagues

The retreating soldiers conveyed this sudden situation to their comrades behind them, and the originally morale-like team suddenly stopped

What's going on, King Duris came up from behind, and although he also saw the terrifying scene, he couldn't help but ask the soldiers

The soldiers looked at each other, not knowing how to answer their majesty, it was not that the soldiers were timid, but that what had happened had gone beyond their imagination

His Majesty was in danger, and Desid, who followed closely behind, was afraid that Duriss would rush up and hurriedly grabbed his king

But Duris was not the kind of person who acted without thinking and acting with blood, he put down his fighting spear and picked up the corpse of a harpy from the ground, and threw it in the direction of the tower, and when the corpse of the harpy was thrown to the same location as the five soldiers, it was immediately torn to pieces by an invisible force, and the flesh and blood were splattered everywhere

Damn, the angry Duris felt a little powerless, and now the Tower of the Seven Sins seemed to be protected by another barrier

As soon as the words fell, the wind raged around them, and the strong wind made people unstable, although these soldiers were all elite iron men, but there were still some people who couldn't withstand the strong wind, and the whole person was blown up by the volley, and the two unfortunate soldiers were pulled by the wind in the direction of the Tower of Seven Sins, and then they were instantly torn to pieces when they came into contact with the invisible barrier

Duris hurriedly dragged the third soldier who was scraped towards the Tower of Seven Sins, and while stabilizing his body, he ordered the army: Unite and hold on to the people around you, don't let the wind blow away

A hundred soldiers huddled together, leaning on each other to barely resist the strong winds, but they had to deal with not only strong winds, but also colder and colder temperatures, and although it was already October, it was only the beginning of autumn, and it was a very unusual thing for the kingdom of Pole to be in a warm place, and it was a very unusual thing for the sudden appearance of such low temperatures, and the wheat fields under their feet, which had long been trampled beyond recognition, had appeared hoarfrost

Island of the Dead

The Lich King Callowen and his loyal servant Githil watched by the pool as the Poyler soldiers struggled to fend off strong winds and cold air outside the Tower of the Seven Sins

It seems that the divine punishment is about to begin, and the tower of seven sins is surrounded by a spatial transfer enchantment, which has the ability to instantly smash anything that invades from the outside, and is also a prelude to large-scale teleportation, Karlovin said that this time the divine punishment is different from the heavenly fire that fell on the town of Hipolodine last time, it is a disaster that can turn cities, mountains, and rivers into glaciers, and if the divine punishment is fully activated, the energy released can turn one-third of the territory of the Pole Kingdom into a glacier for at least 10 years

But adults...... Githil asked, "Didn't the Seven Sins Guards all be defeated, and why didn't the divine punishment end?"

Because there is an eighth guard

Is there an eighth sin besides anger, greed, gluttony, laziness, envy, and arrogance?

No, the Lich King explained that there is no eighth deadly sin, and the so-called eighth guard is not the embodiment of sin, but rather that the guard must be a righteous and righteous person, who can be said to be the executor of the seven sins, in fact, the principle of the tower of the seven sins summoning divine punishment is that the seven sinners with the most serious sins accumulate sins in the tower, and when the sins accumulate to a certain extent, a pure and upright person must summon punishment to the gods to punish the seven sins

But if it is true that the eighth guard is a man with a sense of justice, as you said, Lord Lich King, how could such a man be willing to summon a terrible divine punishment to kill innocents?

Karlovin shook his head: "Githil, you haven't seen the methods of the Central Church, there is a kind of torture called 'involuntarily'

The king was very brave, and now less than 15 minutes before the divine punishment came, he knew that it could not be avoided, but he still did not give up saving his country, Julian said, looking at the eighth silver plate

Bastard Julian, I can't believe that you would still say such things at this time, Sophia was in a hurry, and he yelled at Julian, don't you know how many innocent lives will be taken in this way

I know how I didn't know that almost a month ago, on top of the same tower, I witnessed a town being razed to the ground and thousands of lives were lost in an instant...... How can I forget this scene, and Julian's tone inadvertently revealed a trace of sadness, and since then I have been waking up from nightmares every night, and the wails of the thousands of dead have always sounded in my ears, and my soul has been severely tormented by it......

In that case, why are you stopping us again, do you want such a tragedy to happen again, Sophia took a step forward without being injured, and asked Julian sharply, answering me, Julian Rousseau

I'm sorry...... Julian didn't want to look Sophia in the eye, and I had no choice

What do you mean by 'no choice' When we fought against necromancers side by side, I thought you were a reliable partner, but I didn't expect you to be that kind of cold-blooded guy too......

Sophia Owen interrupted her, I had known Julian since I was a child, and I knew him so well that I believed Julian must have had his reasons for doing this, and it was so important that he couldn't resist

How can Owen even ...... you Sophia looked at Owen in disbelief, and no matter how important the reason, sacrificing thousands of lives was fundamentally wrong

Julian bowed his head and said nothing, but he wouldn't take a step away

Sophia, we're not in a position to decide whether Julian's decision was right or wrong, but we can make our own decisions, Owen said

Owen, you mean Sophia asked

Julian, let me hold you back, hurry up and plant the 'tears of repentance' at the top of the tower

Well, the ladder to the top of the tower is behind me, if you can get past me, Julian pulled out two knights' swords from his waist and threw one of them in front of Owen, ten years ago when you fell off the cliff, I have kept your sword for you, now let me determine how much your swordsmanship has improved in the past ten years

It's a pity that Owen smiled and shook his head, and said, I swore that I would be insulated from the sword for the rest of my life

Then how are you going to hold me back, and I will fight my sword with your bare hands

Before the words fell, Owen pounced in front of Julian like an arrow from the string, and swung his left fist at Julian

In the face of the menacing attack, Julian reacted quickly, he quickly turned his head sideways to avoid Owen's frontal attack, but the sleeves of the fist still shaved his face painfully, Owen couldn't hit his right hand, turned into a fist and slashed Julian's neck; Julian crossed the sword, Owen's flesh slashed at the sword, and the sword body trembled

The posture of the second blow was not retracted, and Owen took advantage of the momentum to kick out a kick that went straight to Julian's nest; Julian hurriedly fell to the ground and rolled backwards two times in a row, and the horizontal sword was half-kneeling on the ground, Owen, I have let you attack three times, and I will not show mercy to my subordinates, Julian warned

As I wanted, Owen grinned and kicked his right foot for a fourth attack

At this time, Julian no longer had reservations, rushed up to meet the two with his sword, and the fists and swords were inseparable, during which Sophia tried to take advantage of the opportunity of the two to fight and sneak behind Julian, but the battlefield was too small, and the movements of the two were fast and fierce, and Sophia had no way to insert a needle

I really can't imagine it, Owen Julian said in the middle of the fierce battle, you were hit hard by Shimosa, and you spent a lot of mental energy to drag Charlotte into the chessboard of your mind, and you can still be so flexible

I had expected a fierce battle for a long time, so I kept my breath

I see, but with this bruised body, you still can't beat me, Julian dodged a side kick from Owen, and then stabbed Owen in the left shoulder with a sword

That may not be Owen smiled and made a move that surprised Julian, Owen did not dodge or dodge, and directly used his body to bear the sharp knight's sword, the sharp blade pierced Owen's right shoulder, and blood flew sideways, but Owen did not frown, he rushed forward two steps, grabbed Julian's sword with his left hand, and put his right hand against Julian's chest, pushing him to the side vigorously, and quickly Owen turned around and shouted to Sophia

Oh, Sophia hurriedly dragged her tears of repentance towards the ladder to the top of the tower, and although she caused herself intense pain with every step she took, she didn't slow down because of it

Seeing that Sophia was about to touch the ladder, Julian kicked Owen away with his sword, then picked up another sword on the ground and rushed towards Sophia

Just as Julian's hand was about to touch Sophia's clothes, a figure quickly stood in front of him, and now, in turn, before you can stop Sophia, you must first knock me down, Owen pulled out the knight's saber on his body, and threw it on the ground

Do you have to do it, Owen

You're not the same Julian

Okay, then, I'll let you see my true strength, after saying this, Julian suddenly retracted his offensive posture and put his saber in front of him, at this time, Owen clearly felt that there seemed to be an invisible aura around Julian's side, and as Julian's fighting spirit deepened, this aura became stronger and stronger

This is...... War Spirit

That's right, I'm now able to burn the war spirit freely, Julian raised his sword and pointed it at Owen, you should understand that the knight blessed by the war spirit is in this state that you can't defeat

Okay haha...... Owen was not frightened, but smiled, since you let me see your true strength, then I will also show my hole cards

Well, Julian was surprised, and he was a little curious about what kind of hand his old friend was hiding in front of him, who had become an enemy

Owen put away his smile and changed into a stern expression, and said word by word: No Sword Heart Mirror.
