"Miss, you haven't told me your name yet."

"Peony."

Akers nodded, "So, let's get started...... Let's kill the feast! ”

Before his words could be fully finished, I felt a strong wind coming towards me, and by the time I could react, I felt a cold black shadow in front of me, and then my neckline tightened.

Peony grabbed me by the collar and threw me into a corner, and I almost came face to face with the giant axe......

I only heard a "boom", and the axe was completely embedded in the wall behind me, and I was sure that if it wasn't for Peony's quick reaction, I would have been cut in half by this time.

He ...... How can such a heavy axe be used as a throwing weapon?! I blurted out in shock, and looked across the alley but there was no sign of Ax.

Then I subconsciously looked at the plate axe, and saw that Axes was standing lightly on the handle of the axe, looking down at us condescendingly.

I have absolutely no idea when he moved there, could he be as fast as the axe that was thrown?

"Miss Peony, if you are so timid again, then this battle will become no suspense."

Peony gritted her teeth and turned her head to look at me.

There is no doubt that I have become a great burden at this time! Originally, it would be difficult for Peony to fight him head-on, and he had to be distracted to protect me.

"I'm sorry," Peony said with her back to me, "it's all my fault, so I shouldn't have thought of any ideas to lure him out." ”

"When did you still think about this?"

Peony said, "I'll find a way to hold him back, run as far as you can." ”

I nodded, staying here anyway would only distract her. So, I got up and ran to the alley.

Ax turned his head to look at me, and Peony stopped in front of him sideways, and said, "I heard that in ancient times, the knights of the kingdom believed in chivalry, and if the person who fought you in a duel was me, then you wouldn't touch him until there was a result, right?" The Knight King. ”

Akers showed a deep smile, he jumped off the handle of the axe, easily pulled out the plate axe and held it in his hand, and the weapon of more than thirty pounds was as light as a piece of paper in his hand. "Yes, I am indeed a practitioner of chivalry. But...... There is an iron law of chivalry that does not allow children and women to be attacked. So, I'm sorry Miss Peony, but I never had any murderous intent on you from the beginning. ”

Peony's pupils shrank, and he immediately turned his head and shouted at me, "Chen Mo get down!" ”

The moment I looked down, the blade of the axe whizzed over my head, and there was a chance that strands of hair would fall from the top of my head. Bang! With a bang, the axe was embedded in the lamppost of the street lamp in front of it again, and the sparks were shining!

Peony swung her left hand and shot out the Hidden Blade, but she was easily dodged by Ax, and then she held the dagger in her right hand, and her left hand clenched her fist and reached out with a hooked blade towards Ax.

The two figures were intertwined, and Akers, who had no weapons, blocked all of Peony's attacks with his bare hands, but he didn't throw a punch at Peony for a long time.

"Are you underestimating me?" Peony said angrily.

Akers straightened up, patted the dust off his body, and said, "I said that I won't shoot at women and children." ”

Peony took advantage of his words to stretch out the blade of the heel of his shoe, and reflexively turned into a roundabout kick, Akers subconsciously dodged, and as a result, a small cut was cut at the neckline of the suit.

He touched his collar regretfully and said, "The suit is the armor of a modern knight." It's a pity, but I like it. He took out the pocket watch in his pocket and looked at the time, "Oh no, a lot of time has been wasted, I guess your people are almost there." ”

Then he put away his pocket watch, leaned over, and rushed forward. The next moment, his figure appeared in front of me. I stopped, and his clenched fist was already swinging at my head! There is no doubt that this is the fist after the introverted murderous aura of the karmic flame, and it may even be injected with the waning moon style! I'm going to be killed if I hit it!

Rumble! Two fists collided.

I wasn't hit as I thought I would, but the shock wave from the impact of the two made me take a few steps back.

Peony got ahead of me and helped me block the blow with her left fist, and I saw ...... Her alloy prosthetic leg had fallen apart. Peony clutched the interface between her left arm and the prosthetic, her expression almost distorted in pain.

Akers looked at her appreciatively, "Great, if you just caught it with your right fist, then your right arm is now useless." However, the prosthetic leg and arm interface must be painful there. You're not a hand-to-hand killer in the first place, so why do you want to take my punch. ”

Peony's face, which was originally distorted by pain, raised the corners of his mouth slightly at this time, "Later...... I'm a hand-to-hand killer! ”

Ax glanced at me with a smile, "I'm obviously a killer, but I want to be a bodyguard." ”

As he spoke, Axes took the axe from the lamppost next to him, raised it up to me with one hand, and said, "It's a man, don't let such a good girl get hurt again." ”

I took a deep breath, stood up straight facing him, and said, "You are strong, but if you kill me now, you will never get out of here alive." ”

Ax smiled disdainfully, "So what? Loyalty, credibility, are the virtues of knights. ”

"I never thought there was any virtue in killing people for money."

"You are a wicked person, and it is virtue to eliminate all evil, and I am on the side of morality."

This time, I smiled disdainfully, "Morality? You're a killer preaching morality to me? ”

Akx's expression stiffened, "Everyone I killed was bloody, do you dare to say that you are innocent?" ”

I shook my head and looked at him pitifully, "Since there has been a society in this world, there have been countless wars. And every game is famous, and morality is the most used reason. In the end, the battle is won by morality, but few people look at how much blood has flowed and wives have been scattered behind morality......"

He looked at me, but his expression was not as calm as before, "What does this have to do with me now that I want to kill you to eliminate evil?" ”

I walked up to him step by step, looked him in the eye, and said, "If I tell you that everyone I kill is also a wicked person, and like you, I am on the side of morality." So, what reason are you going to use to kill me now? For the employer's bounty? ”

Akes' pupils shrank and his face turned a little pale, and he took two steps back, the axe he was holding hanging down.

I continued, "You are shameless in using the name of morality, this is human nature! The difference is that some people stand on the moral high ground and are forgiven by the public. Some people, because they are weak and humble, become innocent. Killing is killing, in fact, we are all the same shameless, we are not noble! ”

Akers shook his head as he stepped back, "No...... I'm not like you! ”

"Whatever, if you want to kill me, just come. Since the day I raised the butcher's knife, I have never feared death, and I have no right to do so. Only when you are conscious of death can you be qualified to kill, I have always thought so. ”

"You can't defile my faith!" Axes raised his axe at me again.

I looked at him indifferently, my expression indescribable, because I had seen the swaying in his heart.

"What's the matter with that look of pity? You're the one who is going to die! He asked.

"Kill me to prove your faith? The Executioner's Faith? Then your faith is too cheap. ”

"Then you say, what is the meaning of the battle between us?"

"It doesn't make any sense, it's just cannibalism between filthy dogs."

Akers looked at me with a distorted expression, and tried to swing the axe in his hand several times, but he couldn't make up his mind. If he kills me at this time, it proves that he is not a noble knight like us, but only ...... It's a filthy wild dog!

Isn't faith a kind of autosuggestion, self-deception? The moment you waver in what you believe in, your faith has become worthless. So, you will feel how hypocritical your previous self was? Just like Axes at this time.

Eventually, Axe put down his axe and took two steps back, saying to me, "Spare your life until I think about it!" ”

Dropping these words, his figure disappeared into the night.

I picked up the peony on the side, saw her lips white and haggard, and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?" ”

Peony shook his head, his eyes suddenly became curious, "What you just told him, are you fooling him, or is it really ......?"

I smiled, "It's just a complaint, a killer actually says that he is noble, and I can't help but want to scold him for a few words of hypocrisy." ”

Peony said with a wry smile, "But his idea is not wrong, maybe it's just not suitable to be a killer." ”

"yes, he's supposed to be a priest."
