He slashed forward with his left-handed knife, quickly turned over and jumped back, turning into a cloud of smoke and rising into the air.

This ability to turn into smoke is called "avatar", and it is a new ability that people with affinity abilities acquire after reaching a certain level, and can transform themselves into their own affinity objects.

But Maxim's incarnation is not skilled, so it does not immediately turn into smoke and escape in times of crisis. So he narrowly and narrowly blocked Roland's attack before turning into smoke.

"Roland, what are you doing!" Maxim shouted in the air.

Roland missed the blow and felt very sorry, he walked out of the hatch again: "I'm really sorry, I changed my mind." ”

In fact, he never thought of betraying Jean, and the reason why he didn't start fighting immediately after listening to Maxim so much under the side of the ship was because he was taking the opportunity to regain his mental power. He pretended to accept Maxim's terms, just to make him paralyzed, so that he could defeat the enemy with one move at this moment. But now that he has finally recovered a few percent of his mental power, the sneak attack did not succeed, which couldn't help but make Roland's heart sink.

It seems that you can only fight hard.

"Roland, I really don't understand, why you, and your powerful subordinates, are so loyal to that little girl, is it because she is the only bloodline of the Nord family?

"You ask why we're following her?" Roland dragged his sword to the middle of the deck. The sunlight came from behind him, gilding him with a layer of golden light, making him even taller.

"Because she is our hope!"

Roland swung his sword down. The two rushed to one place.

The sun was setting, and it was getting dark.

In the engine room of the airship.

Jean had defeated all her opponents, and she stood in the middle of a crying crowd.

Debilitated.

But she won after all. She came to Agas's corpse and caressed his eyes.

Agas, did you see that? As a warrior, I didn't disgrace you.

She staggered to the hatch.

He's going to go out on deck to see Roland, Carl, and Kevin.

From the time the enemy ship crashed just now, she already knew that they had succeeded.

She pushed the hatch open.

However, there was no expected cheering scene for the three people. There was only one scene she couldn't even think of:

Roland lay in a pool of blood with Maxim's dagger stuck in his chest. Maxim was standing beside him, wrapping his wounds.

"Oh no! no!"

Jean's mind went blank and she could barely stand on her feet, and she threw herself in front of Roland, clutching the wound in his chest. Blood was gurgling out of there.

"Roland, wake up, use your power to save yourself!" Jean cried helplessly.

Maxim took a few steps back and did not take the opportunity to sneak attack, because in his eyes, it was no longer enough to destroy Roland, a strong enemy.

The fierce battle just now was still in his mind, and Roland's death-defying counterattack was once again beyond his imagination.

Roland's blood had already flowed on the ground, and a white-clothed piano knelt in this red, like a withered petal, floating in the red water.

The setting sun stretched her shadow long, long, and gilded her with an orange-red light.

She burst into tears.

There was a sound of rustling footsteps.

The wingsuit men who fell on the ship, the unkilled enemy, regrouped, and they came to the deck.

They walked silently to the bloody lyre.

The black wingsuit was dense, like a black mist covering the piano.

Roland's trembling lips twitched: "I'm sorry, my miss, you have to take care, I'm afraid...... I can't guard you anymore. ”

Jean's tears were uncontrollable again.

Maxim wrapped his wounds, and he walked up to Jean:

"Miss Qin, stop making useless resistance. Now your retainers are gone. Please surrender. ”

Jean ignored his words, and at this point no sound could reach her ears, and she just looked sadly at the dying Roland.

"Not even these powerful people are our opponents, let alone you. ”

Jean was silent, she had stopped her grief, and in its place was a vengeful rage.

She wants to kill Maxim and avenge Roland.

She estimated the distance to her opponent, and she was considering whether she could use a soft fist to win with one blow.

"Miss Jean, I know what you're thinking. Maxim took a step back, just out of Jean's best attack distance.

"I know you want to use your unique hand-to-hand fighting skills to win with one blow. ”

"I also know that you don't have the ability to read, you're just an ordinary person. ”

Qin was shocked, but she didn't expect that her secret had been known to the other party.

It turned out that Maxim had controlled the smoke before and observed the battle between Jean and Roland, so he had a certain understanding of both Roland and Jean, and he was able to kill Roland, which was precisely why.

And through their conversation, Maxim learned the secret of the maiden:

She has no ability to read, and she is able to defeat the enemy, all thanks to her martial arts qualities and boxing skills called "Jiuquan".

"It's already very admirable to be able to do this, with your age, if you cultivate well, you will have a bright future, and you will definitely be able to achieve higher achievements in martial arts in the future, but it's a pity......"

Maxim sighed: "Roland is a loyal knight and a very stupid fellow, he refused to accept my proposal, and in the end he ended up like this. Miss Jean, you don't want that, do you?"

"Give me your immortal death, and I can spare you a way out. ”

Jean remained motionless as she stared at Roland.

Roland held the hand of the piano in both hands, as if he wanted to say something, but at this moment, life had been completely lost, and his hands hung limply.

Just die.

Like a wounded leopard, Jean let out a low roar that went from weak to strong, with endless resentment, humiliation, and unwillingness. A shrill and deafening roar erupted suddenly, like an explosion.

As if in response to her roar, a violent explosion suddenly occurred under the airship, and thick smoke billowed from the engine room, and the flames soared into the sky. The airship shook violently, and everyone fell to the deck.

A flash of fire instantly reflected the clouds.

Maxim looked at the detonator in his hand and was dumbfounded.

It was given to Jean by Roland when he was dying.

It was he who ordered Karl to load the bottom of the ship with explosives, and this was Karl's previous "job".

Because of Roland's death, Jean made the decision to die together.

"Are you crazy, this is our only airship!" exclaimed Maxim.
