Chapter Seventy-Two: Paying the Bill (Part II)
Su Qin swung the magic sword backwards without looking back, and the wide sword body swirled past his shoulders and neck.
The blade effortlessly slashed off the head of the Chimera's python-sized snake, which was still opening and closing after being severed and trying to bite something, and was soon blasted by the volley of magic bullets that followed. Without waiting for the blood to hit the ground, Su Qin raised his hand and stabbed a sword next to the beast trainer's head, and the smooth sword body reflected the other party's extremely frightened face.
"Tell me, how many more people are attacking?"
"I was joined by twelve members of the Teutonic Knights and an alchemist. Maybe there are people I don't know, but on the surface, the association only has time to send these people. Because the Chimera can fly, I was the only one who arrived early. I've said everything I know, please don't kill me. ”
"Did I say that?" Su Qin slowly pulled out the magic sword, and the sound of metal rubbing against gravel reached the ears of the beast trainer, as if death was whispering.
"Wait, I'm willing to show you the way......" The animal trainer was so scared that his teeth chattered nervously to show his worth. Hearing the various conditions he said, Su Qin just put on his helmet indifferently. After a few minutes, the dry-mouthed trainer couldn't find any more reason. He looked at Su Qin tremblingly and couldn't say a complete word, and in this terrifyingly quiet dead silence, Su Qin's hoarse voice came from the heavy helmet that looked like the head of the evil dragon.
"No need."
The magic sword quietly transformed into a handcuff form, and in the face of the beast tamer who stumbled into the distance, Su Qin did not hesitate to pull the trigger continuously. Six smoke-strewn dogs barked wildly as they caught up with the trainer, tearing him to shreds amid his screams.
"It's not like something you would do."
Rhodia walked up behind Su Qin uneasily with the demonized rifle in her arms. Everything that happened in front of her made the joy of reunion in her heart gradually replaced by worry, once upon a time, the man she remembered as realistic but gentle would have exuded such a cold and iron-like aura.
"It's just a price I paid voluntarily."
With a sigh, Su Qin took out the soul of the immortal general and threw it into the sky. Guided by the broken contract, this soul continued to approach the final stronghold of the Northern Society. Su Qin and Rhedia followed in one ride, while Everam rode on the hound summoned by the magic sword. When they came to a narrow street, Su Qin suddenly pulled the reins and stepped on the eight-legged steed that was walking in the air, and stopped tamely in place.
"What happened?" Everram, who was hugging the hound tightly by the neck and was afraid of being thrown off the ground, asked nervously.
"Come out." Without answering his question, Su Qin abruptly shouted to the front of the empty street.
"Sure enough, as Major Montana said, this little trick can't hide it from you." Rhythmic applause rang out from the middle of the empty streets. The air twisted and pulled open to the sides like a curtain, and the alchemist, dressed in the traditional English gentleman's attire, bowed slightly as a sign of respect. Behind him stood twelve heavily armed Teutonic knights, and Su Qin could feel some kind of mysterious power wrapped around those seemingly ancient armor and weapons.
Although, the alchemist in front of him showed a humble performance. But Su Qin felt some kind of madness hidden under the surface from the soul wavelength emanating from the other party. The flat glasses on the bridge of his nose reflected the afterglow of the setting sun, and at the same time concealed the alchemist's determined gaze.
"Be careful, this guy is a fanatical fascist."
"Really? You can't see it from the outside. Although he said this verbally, secretly Su Qin still clenched the magic sword in his hand and waited for it.
"For me personally, that's a compliment. After all, I am willing to give everything for my homeland. The alchemist smiled and pushed his glasses
, the change in angle exposed his fanatical eyes to the light.
"But that doesn't mean you can get someone else to pay for it too." Lydia gritted her teeth, as the most skilled alchemist in the Northern Guild at making potions. She was not convinced that the man in front of her had nothing to do with the alchemical mixture that had been put into Berlin's residential water system.
"That's just the price of necessity." With that, the alchemist activated the unknown prop again, causing his figure to disappear into thin air. At the same time, a dozen Teutonic warriors brandished their weapons and charged in this direction, and the momentum of the heavy knights' swarm charge was like a landslide and tsunami. Faced with this terrifying scene, Su Qin put down Rhedia and raised his magic sword without hesitation to launch a counter-charge towards them.
Although he was not trained in this area, the Force instructed him to use his magic sword to unleash the spears and axes that were stabbing at him. At the moment when he passed by the enemy, he instinctively flipped his wrist and cut off the opponent's head along the gap in the armor with a sword. The horse continued to run a few steps with the empty body around his neck, his helmet falling to the ground and rolling a shriveled head, his soul already swallowed by the magic sword.
At the same time as the vitality flowed into his body, Su Qin also felt an inexplicable memory flow into his mind. The content of the memory is the whole process of the knight he killed to train to become a qualified knight. When Su Qin reflexively charged again, his movements were already fully worthy of being a qualified knight. The weapon used by the slain knight was a two-handed heavy sword, similar in type to the magic sword Henig.
As the knight's memory gradually faded, Su Qin, who had been fighting with the enemy incessantly, suddenly felt that the magic sword had become more familiar than before. Every slash, every stab, he unleashed, was as perfect as a seasoned knight. Under the pressure of increasing pressure, the remaining eleven Teutonic knights had to rely on the array to barely resist Su Qin's attack.
"What did you do?"
"What is there to care about, it is only the difference between the soul of a living person and a private soul. Don't compare the trash fish you killed before to them. A few months of military training were no match for the classical knightly lessons they had received since childhood. When I devour powerful souls, I have a chance to gain knowledge and memories from them. Hmm~ Speaking of which, the souls of these people are so delicious. Not only is it of high quality, but it is also surprisingly chewy in taste. The master is about to kill them all. ”
“……”
Although he didn't have time to think about it, a chill suddenly rose in Su Qin's heart. As the millions of unjust souls in the sword body continued to dissolve, Heenig's own abilities also increased and strengthened. Although these abilities of unknown origin are different, in the final analysis, they need to be continuously taken and consumed souls to be most effective. In other words, if he wants to rely on the magic sword to improve his strength, he must continue to kill.
Thinking of this, Su Qin couldn't help but be stunned, while the Teutonic knights beside him seized the opportunity to rush forward, trying their best to slash the sword containing mysterious power into the enemy. But the result was desperate, and the monstrous black blood armor blocked all attacks like a mountain, and they didn't even leave a scratch on the armor.
Faced with an unarmoured enemy, the Teutonic knights did not give up. Without hesitation, they threw down their precious alchemy weapons, the tallest and strongest of them rushed forward to hold Su Qin's hands and feet, while the remaining ones drew daggers and short swords in an attempt to lift the mask and kill him. However, despite Su Qin's own fear, he was in such a predicament because he was frightened of Henig's abilities.
But Henig himself did not hesitate, and the black blood demon armor covered with various spikes and blades attacked on its own like a living thing. The black blood that flowed from the armor curdled into thorn-like spears that strung the Teutonic knights together and tossed them off in their terrible roars. Splashes of blood and scraps of flesh stained the entire long street in bright red, as if it had descended on hell on earth.
"It's a bit too much." Taking off a severed hand stuck in the shoulder armor, Su Qin said unhappily to Henig in his heart. At this moment, the alchemist, who had been disappearing, suddenly appeared behind him. Su Qin, who was warned by the Force, had a sword in his backhand, and what was surprising was that the unknown alchemist did not dodge or dodge, allowing the magic sword to pierce his chest.
Facing Su Qin's puzzled eyes, his aging face showed a martyr's expression. The alchemist, who was not yet dead, smashed the test tube in his hand against the magic sword. The translucent liquid contained in the test tube made a strange noise on the sword's body, while the alchemist's liquid-stained arm continued to melt. Not only the skin and muscles, but also the strongest bones in the body dissolve as quickly as if they were exposed to strong acids.
"I've seen from the sidelines that it's a pity that the great knights have sacrificed their lives. But it exposes one of your weaknesses, and this sword is supposed to be the source of your strength. Although I don't have any ability to fight, the Everything Dissolving Agent will definitely be able to break the ......" The alchemist's confident words were not finished, and the magic sword that stood still in the Everything Dissolving Agent became the best response to him.
"If this sword were so easily destroyed, I would feel much more relieved myself." Su Qin smiled bitterly and pulled out the magic sword from the dead alchemist. As the so-called "dissolving agent of all things" slowly vaporized and dissipated on the sword's body, Heenig's mocking voice sounded in his ears as expected.
"Everything dissolver? Oh, it seems that everything mentioned in this potion must not include the temporal body alloy and the flesh and bones of subspace demons. Henig leaned on Su Qin's back, squinted his eyes, and said in a quiet tone.
