Chapter 33: Abduction
There is more than one person hiding in the shadows.
The very petite figure jumped over the head of the Netherworld Corridor Sariktin, and quickly approached the direction of the village.
A member of the Lich King's guard, Emilia the "Ripper on a Rainy Night", is ready to go. Her goal was obvious, the house where Sophia was staying.
Emilia doesn't like long waits, but if waiting will bring her more benefits, she will turn the wait into resentment, and the longer she waits, the more brutal the killings she can make. [Super Tour World Comics/].
Her petite body leaped over a large stretch of continuous rooftop, and with a frighteningly calm look, she swept over all the houses full of people below. In her eyes, nothing but hell and the graveyard were seen—what was to happen in hours. After completing the main mission objective, she will definitely return to this settlement and kill all the more than 10,000 people inside, men, women and children, to vent the resentment she has accumulated over the days she has been waiting.
With a clear goal, Emilia didn't waste too long and entered the room where Sophia was staying.
The sleeping princess lay on the bed, completely incapacitated, wearing only a very thin nightdress, without a single inch of armor, and in a completely defenseless state. At this time, Sophia, even a child who had no combat ability at all, could easily take her life. When Emilia came to the bedside, she reached out and gently touched and caressed Sophia's face with her red nails.
Suddenly, Emilia raised her hand and slapped Sophia twice.
In the decades that she has been out of the world, it is absolutely intolerable that such a beautiful woman has appeared in this abominable world! If it weren't for the mission, she would have disemboweled.
Sophia, who had two extra palm prints on her face for no apparent reason, was completely unable to protest against the injustice she had just received. It should be said that under the influence of the magic of the "ghost press", it is still unknown whether Sophia, whose soul and body have lost contact with her body, can feel pain.
Seeing that Sophia didn't react, Emilia let out two dry sneers. With a force that did not match her current size, she picked Sophia's body from the bed, and then leaped forward, knocking a large hole in the roof of the house, and leaping quickly between the roofs along the same path, moving towards the location of her companion, nay, the superfluous helper sent to her by the Lich King, that is, the Nether Corridor, Sariktin.
This kind of hijacking is Emilia's mission. I didn't expect this task to be much easier than I imagined, except for a little time, there was no difficulty at all. What's so special about this little girl, and why does that Lich King think so highly of her? Is it really worth tying my fate to her?Emilia jumped with Sophia on her shoulder, thinking about the questions she couldn't figure out.
But as on the way here, Emilia couldn't figure it out.
Forget it, don't think about it, just kill everyone after that anyway. Emilia quickly closed the floodgates of thought. This is her usual way of doing things, when she is distressed because she can't figure out the problem, she will use the slaughter to divert her attention, and after the killing, she is in a good mood, and she does not bother to deal with those problems and distress.
Indiscriminate killing of innocents will not help solve your troubles at all, but will only completely reveal the fragility, fear, and emptiness in your heart. ”
A sudden voice suddenly sounded in Emilia's ears, and the cold-blooded "Rainy Night Ripper" was startled, and she immediately stopped, and turned around vigilantly, looking for the mysterious person who suddenly spoke.
However, in the end, Emilia found nothing, and her eyes, which saw clearly in the dark compared to the light, did not detect any signs of living people approaching. At this point, Emilia remembered that the voice didn't want to ring in her ears, as if it came directly into her head.
"Could it be her?" said Amelia, turning her gaze to the captive who was carried over her shoulders.
Could it be that at this time, Sophia forcibly broke through the blockade of the "ghost press" and restored a part of the connection between her soul and body, not only learning of the fact that she was captured, but also by invading Emilia's mind and learning her thoughts?
Although theoretically the chances of this happening are slim to none, there is no other more appropriate explanation for this situation.
But this was not the only thing that surprised Amelia. She felt Sophia on her shoulder twitch suddenly, and then her shoulder lost control completely in a tenth of a second, as if she had been electrocuted, so much so that Sophia fell to the ground with a "thud".
"How is this possible?" she could break free from the 'ghost press' on her own?
Even though Sophia was still blinded and unconscious, she put an invisible pressure on those who wanted to kidnap her.
"Is this the power of the so-called 'Stigmata'? This woman is too dangerous to be allowed to fight back. Without hesitation, Emilia Howe raised her kitchen knife at Sophia.
She had to cut off Sophia's hands first, cutting off the captive's chance to resist. Anyway, the Lich King just asked her to take Sophia back to the Island of the Dead, and didn't say that she couldn't miss her arms and legs.
However, just as Emilia's kitchen knife was halfway through, she suddenly felt that the air behind her was flowing unusually!
The kitchen knife that was about to cut off Sophia's arm was stopped abruptly. Emilia turned around and swung her knife against the attack from behind, but was half a beat slower, and was kicked in the jaw by the attacker, and flew backwards into an uninhabited hay house, the impact of which was so great that the entire improvised house made of wood and hay collapsed completely.
The sneak attacker was none other than Alice. She was already wearing a full set of "True Martial Saint Armor", standing heroically under the night sky.
After kicking the enemy away, Alice immediately picked up Sophia, who was lying on the dirty dirt floor in her nightdress.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, Princess, Sophia!" No matter how Alice called, Sophia just couldn't come to her senses, so Alice couldn't help but spit out, "Say anything to be our new leader, so easy to be robbed." What the hell are you doing?"
However, despite the chatter, Alice still quickly helped Sophia to her back and carried her towards the village. Even if Alice doesn't know magic, but through the True Martial Armor on her body, Alice can still feel that there is a very uncomfortable fluctuation of magical energy around Sophia's body, Sophia's current situation, you don't have to think about it to know that it is caused by this fluctuation, Alice doesn't know how to disarm magic, but the True Martial Armor has the ability to isolate magic, only let Sophia's body touch the True Martial Armor as much as possible, or you can solve the spell imposed on her.
Alice had to take Sophia out of the scene as soon as possible, and she didn't even have time to check if the downed enemy still had the power to fight back, and this undue neglect taught her a big lesson in the future.
Sensing a high-speed object speeding behind her, Alice didn't have time to turn around, she could only dodge to the side.
I only heard a "bang", and even if Alice's conditioned reflex was fast, she couldn't completely avoid the kitchen knife coming from behind. The pitted rusty blade swept over her helmet, shaking Alice's head protected in the helmet, and the powerful kinetic energy drove Alice's whole person to bounce up, and when she landed, she and Sophia were already 4 or 5 meters away before, and the helmet of the True Martial Saint Armor had already been shaken into the grass, and the long hair that was restrained in it was scattered at will.
Although the helmet was knocked off, this is a great luck in misfortune, if it were not for the protection of the helmet, the kitchen knife that flew over just now would have split half of Alice's head.
"Cheap bones who don't measure themselves. It took disgusting luck to pick up a life, but he was in such a hurry to die. ”
In the midst of the collapsed hay house, a hoarse, cold old woman's voice was heard. Then, with a crisp "click", the ruins of the forage house were completely turned into powder. In the midst of the dust flying in the sky, Emilia slowly stood up.
"What?" Alice looked at in amazement.
Although she had attacked Emilia from behind, Alice hadn't seen what Emilia looked like at all due to the urgency of the situation, she only knew that the enemy was a very thin guy, and now that she could see clearly, she almost couldn't believe her eyes.
Could this innocent-looking little girl in front of her be the owner of the shriveled, gloomy old voice just now?
A few kilometers away, on the hill, the "Netherworld Corridor" Sariktin, was closely watching the unplanned developments at the foot of the mountain. But Sariktin's focus is not on Alice, who is fighting Amelia, because it is not a battle at all, but a one-sided torture without suspense. In Sariktin's eyes, only Sophia, who was hiding on the ground and unconscious, was the focus of attention, because just now, one of Sophia's fingers moved slightly.
To deal with ordinary people, Sariktin usually only needs one spirit to suppress it, but Sophia alone actually used 18 spirits to suppress it, but it still failed to achieve the complete "ghost press" effect, and Sophia still has the possibility of getting out of trouble on her own. It seems that the number of spirits that suppress Sophia must be doubled again!
But Sarikhtin's idea did not materialize.
Because in the midst of nowhere, a huge wave of frozen air was rapidly approaching Sariktin.
By the time Sariktin noticed the abnormal fluctuation of the water element in the nearby air, the freezing air had already surrounded him from all directions, forming a situation where there was no way to go and nowhere to escape.
"Frozen!"
A fat magician standing in the distance snapped his fingers, and the freezing air covered the past like a tidal wave.
The hill was covered with a layer of silver makeup. On the ground and in the mud layer half a meter below the surface, all the water froze into ice, freezing all the soil, flowers, and insects in the affected area, and even the chilling "Netherworld Corridor" was trapped in the ice.
