Didn't care about Grant's desperate words.

Ron let go of his hand gripping his hair and slowly got up, narrowing his eyes slightly.

The black shadow in the rain curtain faintly screamed because of its extreme speed, and a thin white line also pulled out behind it.

He noticed that the direction of the shadow was Grant on the ground

However, just as the shadow was about to stab Grant on the ground, the cross sword in Ron's hand slashed out with lightning speed.

'Bell !!'

His face changed slightly, and Ron immediately felt a powerful force come from the cross sword.

'Bang!!'

He was knocked back five or six steps by this blow before he stopped.

However, the black shadow also flew into the sky again because of this sword.

"What the hell!?"

The palm of the sword was a little numb, and Ron looked up at the dark shadow, and realized that it was really the big bird with gray feathers that he had seen a few times before.

Grant, who was lying on the muddy floor, didn't seem to expect Ron to save him with one blow, and looked up at Ron who was standing on the side with complicated eyes, but then, his face turned desperate again.

"It's useless, you can't deal with him with the strength of the watcher, run away, I only hope that after my death, you can send Miss Lina back to the castle safely." ”

"Miss Linna?" Frowning, Ron looked at Grant, but he seemed to understand something when he saw Grant's hopeful eyes.

Retracting his gaze, Ron pulled out the dagger from his waist again, and then gently walked over to Grant.

"You can't die, I'm going to see if this bird is really that powerful?"

Judging from the force of the impact just now, Ron knew that this bird was very powerful, at least stronger than him, and it was also very fast.

If it were a human being, perhaps he might choose to evacuate, but the other party was just a bird.

For birds, the attack methods used are too simple, and with a little care, they can almost be cut down.

Looking at Ron's confident expression, Grant opened his mouth, he wanted to remind him again, but in the end he didn't say anything.

And as Ron walked up to Grant, the big bird's attention seemed to shift to him.

Narrow red bird's eyes, staring at Ron's face like a human.

"All those who betray must die. It spoke, but it was so unpleasant that it looked like glass was rubbing against each other.

“”

To Ron's surprise, the big bird swooped down on him again at great speed.

The flapping wings shook the drizzle around them, and the two sharp claws stretched out to the limit, shimmering with a black metallic sheen.

Standing on the ground, Ron, who originally wanted to block the opponent's attack and take the opportunity to sneak attack, only felt an extremely dangerous aura coming from the big bird, and his scalp tingled.

Before he had time to think about it, he jumped directly to the left, and then handed out the cross sword with one hand.

'Bang!!'

'Tear!!'

For a moment, the arm holding the sword went numb, as if he had lost consciousness, and then he faintly heard a scream coming from the side.

"Damn!" Ron's face sank, and the short sword in his left hand slashed quickly to the side.

'Boom!!'

It was as if it had been cut into a piece of hard wood, and then a gray feathered wing flapped it in this direction.

His chest thumped, as if he had been hit by a car, and Ron's entire body actually flew out, and with a 'snap', he slammed into the mud.

Shaking his dizzy head, Ron looked up in Grant's direction.

I saw that the big bird was tearing at Grant's back with its sharp claws.

Grant, on the other hand, remained motionless, not knowing whether he was dead or alive, and the completely naked black armor behind him was clawed by the birds' claws, and sparks accompanied by the sound of aching teeth.

Holding down the pain in his chest, Ron quickly got up and pounced directly on the attacking bird with his twin swords.

"Die!!"

The two swords crossed and wrenched towards the big bird's stubby neck.

However, when the arms were staggered, Ron was stunned to find that the two sharp blades were actually motionless, as if the neck that had been slashed was not flesh and blood, but an iron rod wrapped in wood.

"This is"

Slightly stunned, three black rays of light instantly crossed Ron's chest.

"Hmm"

A cold pain made his face turn pale in an instant, and he took a few steps back in disbelief, only to feel that the whole sky seemed to be darkened all of a sudden.

A feeling of weakness caused the short sword in his hand to fall to the ground with a thud.

'Snort'

The cross sword was stuck in the ground, and it was only with the support of the cross sword that Ron did not fall completely.

His forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he subconsciously touched the wound on his chest, which was completely numb, and a cold touch seemed to spread to his entire body.

"Damn!!"

Ron hadn't expected the bird to be so powerful, and that's when he remembered Grant's desperate face.

Ron subconsciously glanced at the attribute bar under his eyes, but strangely found that the attributes that had recovered their peak were declining at an extremely fast speed, and it seemed that they were about to return to the zero position.

"Do you want to die again??"

A mixed sensation enveloped him, and the cold numbness soon crept over half of his body.

The blood on his chest flowed down the cloak to the ground as if he didn't want money, and the yellow-brown muddy water quickly accumulated into a red pool.

It was as if the whole world had come to a standstill, and the gloomy sky felt like it had collapsed.

Ron looked down at his bloodied hand, his pupils constricting rapidly.

"Is this the end of it??"

He looked up at the big bird flapping its wings in slow motion, and suddenly, a hint of hideousness flashed in his eyes.

"In that case, let's die together!!"

Ron jerked away from his body-supporting crosssword, quickly grasped something at his waist, and shot out.

'Poof!!'

As he was about to fall, Ron vaguely saw the hidden arrow easily pierce the big bird, and then a warm feeling came over him.

A large area of crimson bird-like flames burst into flames in the drizzling rain, turning into torches before quickly disappearing.

'Bang!'

The body fell heavily to the ground, the earthy smell of muddy water filled his nose, and his vision became more and more blurred, and then darkness descended......

Darkness, a big expanse of darkness.

It was as if Ron was trapped in a large black cocoon, with nothing and no consciousness, nothing but darkness.

Is this what it feels like to die? ’

In the dark, he was unusually quiet.

The big bird didn't know if it died at the end. ’

Ron still remembers the appearance of the big bird being shot by the arrow turning into a torch, but he doesn't know if this is his hallucination.

'Well, though, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with me anymore, but then again, am I going to stay here forever?'

In the dark, his mood became calmer and calmer for some reason.

I don't know how long it took, but it seemed that even my thinking was a little dull, blank, and my memory seemed to fade away little by little.

And after a long, long time, when he forgot who he was.

A cold feeling suddenly appeared in his chest.

'Huh?'

It was like the touch of rain, then the cheeks, then the whole body.

In the confusion, he seemed to wake up, and then countless miscellaneous memories flooded into his brain.

The shattered memories were quickly reassembled, accompanied by more and more touches on the body, which became clearer and clearer.

suddenly

"Ahem!!"

There was a violent cough, as if he had drowned, and Ron's eyes widened as he gulped in the fresh air.

A drizzle of rain wet his cheeks, and Ron looked to his side in surprise.

Covered in blood, Grant was shoving several red marble-shaped objects into his mouth.

A fishy, rotten smell came from my mouth.

"Vomit !!"

He bent down and threw up vigorously, blood streaks and some fine blue crystals in the vomit.

It wasn't until his body was almost throwing up and prostrating that Ron stopped.

"Damn," he wiped the corners of his mouth, his face twisted. "Am I not dead?

"You're not dead! I saved you. Grant next to him wiped the blood from his face and looked at Ron with a strange expression. "I didn't expect you to actually kill the Watcher, really"

However, as he said the next words, Ron directly waved his hand to interrupt.

"You mean the bird died?"

"That's right. Grant nodded, skimming over to the pile of black ash not far away.

If it weren't for Ron's last shot, even with this extremely defensive armor, I'm afraid he would have died completely.

"Alright!" Ron looked up as he straightened out his somewhat cloudy brain, which still felt very unreal. "How many minutes was I unconscious?"

"About three minutes, if it takes a little longer or if you don't have a strong antidote, I'm afraid you're really dead. ”

"Yes?"

Ron glanced down at the few silver marbles scattered on the ground, several of which had peeled off their shells, revealing something red inside.

These marble-like things, he remembers taking them from the man in the first place.

Although Grant said it was three minutes, he had the illusion that hundreds of years had passed.

The comfortable darkness that was so calm that I even forgot about myself was unusually terrifying when I think about it now.

'Maybe a little later, I'll really die'

The cold numbness in his chest was completely gone, replaced by an unusually painful sensation, and the massive loss of blood made his face extremely pale.

Ron tried to get up from the ground, but failed several times.

Grant, who was next to him, probably couldn't stand it anymore and helped him up.

Ron looked at the young man strangely and said strangely. "You don't want to kill me, but I lured the bird. ”

"Nope. Hearing Ron's confusion, Grant shook his head. "Even if you don't attract him, the watchdog will find me, as an abnormal person who has left the organization, if there is no way to remove the blood of the oath, sooner or later it will be found, so to speak, you indirectly saved me, and you said before, you have no reason to kill me. ”

“”

Ron was speechless for Grant's explanation.

Before the big bird came, he had figured out that if Grant didn't tell the message, he would force him to do so in all sorts of cruel ways.

At this time, Ron seemed to see a holy circle of light behind Grant.
