Chapter 399: A Special Opponent
"You have seen the gladiators who are going to fight on the field today...... Two devil-strong and lethal humans. Clan fighting is my favorite game to watch, I don't know what your interest is, but I'm looking forward to it anyway!"
"The gladiator on the left, with his twin swords in his hand and a gloomy face, is Barrett Mungo, the butcher who impressed us! After a few pauses, a good butcher always knows where to start in order to bypass the hard bones or carapaces and better dismember the flesh. The same goes for Barrett. ”
"He has a lot of combat experience, and he will accurately detect the opponent's weaknesses and then inflict death on them with a thunderous attack. And after Barrett wins, he will cut off a certain part of his opponent's body like a cruel butcher and take it away as a trophy. ”
"As for what he did after he took them, we don't know. However, my own guess is that it should be eaten, because Barrett is supposed to be a barbarian among the humans, and according to my knowledge of this race, they are somewhat similar to the orcs, just as savage, as brutal, and have a tradition of eating the flesh of the strong, whether it is from enemies or kindred. They think that in this way, they will gain the power of the other party. ”
"Hey, we saw Barrett make that insulting gesture again, and it seemed that he was a little unhappy with my introduction, or too satisfied that he wanted to have something to do with me? Anyway, I think the nickname Butcher is quite good, and I think many people still remember the battle between the fire djinn and the slayer demon some time ago. At that time, the process and expression of his slashing and killing of the flesh golem on the field were no different from that of a bloodthirsty butcher!"
"And the gladiator on the right, who wraps himself in broken copper and iron, is the familiar paladin Darren! After a slight pause, we all know that paladins have become very rare in this multiverse, and even in the main material world, it is difficult to find a place for them. ”
"The reason for this is obvious, those mages can do any bastard thing, and some things are even more terrible than what we have ever done, so they definitely don't want to be photographed red. Fortunately, the mages who ruled the main material world did not want to build a world of friendship and mutual help for everyone, otherwise our lives would be even more difficult. Of course, even if they wanted to, it would be completely impossible for me to do so, given what I know about the human race. ”
"Darren's will and faith are very strong, and no amount of cruel torture will make him succumb to the slightest, so he has not fallen after being imprisoned by us for fifty years. And a certain guy who brought him food became a little insane because of his long-term contact with him and his continuous inspiration. We had to send that hapless guy into battle to get him sober. ”
"Since Darren is so stubborn and still holding himself in hell, then it's up to us to see how he chooses on the sand. Will he end up sacrificing himself for the sake of others, or will he slash his own kind? I feel like this battle will be more exciting than the battle of the spotlight, and although it can't be compared to the intensity at all, this kind of human struggle always fascinates us, doesn't it?"
"Well, the two gladiators have walked to the center of the field, and they are now standing opposite each other, as if they are talking about something. Let's hear what it's about. ”
......
It was an old man with a pale face, dressed in a shabby rusty plate armor, and holding a sheep's head warhammer with severed horns in both hands. Although the old man looked very old, his body did not shrink in the slightest, and he was still tall and strong, like a fir in a misty forest.
The old man looked at Barrett with a straight face, "Although I am a paladin, don't think that I will show mercy, boy. So you'd better keep your attitude, or you'll probably not be able to leave alive. ”
The introduction of the annoying voice in the sky made Barrett really feel a little troubled, but the old man's words made him inexplicably relax a lot.
"To be honest, I don't want to fight you, Darren, oh, I don't know if I can call you that. "Although I am not a good person, I have never done anything heinous. If there is anything else possible......"
"If you think so, I think you've lost, boy. The old man interrupted him, "I'm not the kind of paladin you think would sacrifice himself to save others. The old man's eyes were bright, and his unshakable firmness could be seen from it, "In this world, in this era, the road of pure devotion can no longer be walked, so I made a vow of revenge!"
"An oath of revenge?"
"Yes, I will use all kinds of methods to slay evil, even if they are not so bright and sometimes even cruel. The old man said, "I will never dwell on those things of justice, virtue, and order, because moral speculation does not help the justice to be served, and only by trying my best to fight evil can the light shine on more people." ”
Barrett's eyes widened in astonishment, and he asked himself if even a mercenary adventurer like himself could do this, "Doesn't this kind of behavior make you depraved?"
"A vow of vengeance will not bring self-redemption, as I knew the day I made it. The old man's eyes were sparkling, "Pure white can easily become dirty, and the slightest stain will destroy it completely." But gray is not, it is more adapted to the world, and it is easier to assert itself. So what can really control you is not the means, but the heart. ”
"But I'm not evil. Barrett said, spreading his hands.
"I will have a long confession after killing you. "But don't think I'll show mercy, as I said at the beginning." ”
"Good, that's exactly what I wanted. Barrett laughed as she took a few steps back. He danced the long sword in his hand into a pair of death flowers, and said to the special paladin in front of him, "Thank you." ”
"When you live, it's never too late. After the old man finished speaking, he silently lowered his head, as if praying. After two heartbeats, a pair of huge wings composed of golden light suddenly stretched out from the old man's back, driving him into the air.
The golden light of the wings was faintly red, and the light spread from the wings to the old man's body, and covered the ram of the sheep's head in his hand, making the old and dull plate armor much brighter.
"Eliminate the evil!" the paladin raised his hammer and walked towards Barrett.
Hey, that's not a good thing for you to shout. Barrett twisted her neck and turned to meet her.
