Chapter 239: The Crow Strikes (8)
"Ah, then please, I'll wait. Sinjid craned his neck, the smile on his face as if he was provoking Swain, "If you want to kill me, then hurry, or I don't think you will have such a chance to continue talking big soon." ”
As he spoke, he raised his hand and once again gave an order to his soldiers: "Volley, fire!"
He waved his hand vigorously, and as he moved, dozens of black muzzles erupted with fiery tongues of fire again.
However, as soon as Sinjid lowered his hand completely, his wrist fell to the ground first.
"W......" Sinjid was stunned, but before he could react, his head also fell.
"I've had enough of this stench on you. Sven shook the black feather in his hand, not looking at Sinjid, who was torn apart behind him, "Now, shut me up completely." ”
He turned to face Thressi, the striking and ornate armor of his body falling into Sinjid's eyes.
Beatrice's gaze ......" The corners of Bone's mouth cracked exaggeratedly, as if to dislocate his jaw, and Singid laughed very presumptuously, "Ha-you're still using it, it's great, it's so good! I've been waiting until now, just to wait for this moment!"
Black feathers adorned the armor, and the long cloak was adorned with black feathers, like a pair of black wings close together. At first glance, it looks like a glove, but if you look closely, you will see that it is Swain's hand, wrapped in a silky black skin, with an inch-long claw growing from each finger.
A perfect combination of magic and body covered Sven's entire body, and he wore a covered helmet on his head, leaving only a "T" shaped gap. The back of the helmet is also adorned with a raised crow's tail, which makes the helmet look like a standing crow's head, reminiscent of the midnight crow on the Jerica family's family crest.
The afterglow under the helmet kept his eyes on Thressi, and all of Sven's attention was focused on the half-human, half-ghost, half-for-purpose guy who had always seemed extremely vague.
"Atropos has brought you the power to escape the spell of time and time, and to continue to live in the world after the age of magic has died. However, the more you draw from Him, the more you will be inseparable from Him, yes, Atropos, that is what He is seeping into the faces and souls of your family, whether you like it or not, you have to listen to Him. ”
"It's like now. Thresy raised her hands as if to praise the sun, "You still use His power, and this 'Beatrice's gaze' is proof of the connection between your Jericho and Atropos, and that is proof of your status as a jailer!
The black whirlwind swept towards Thressie, destroying almost everything that stood in its way, and the tables and chairs and gold and silver utensils in the royal dining room were swept away and crushed by the whirlwind, as if nothing could stop the whirlwind, as if nothing could stop Swain's wrath.
But Thresy completely ignored the terrible whirlwind, and he even allowed his body to be swept into the whirlwind, watching those black feathers cut through his body, even if the flesh and blood of his whole body were eroded by the storm, he didn't care at all, as if it was just a coat on his body that was blown away by the wind.
"That's it?" "That's it?" said Seresi, who was left with only a skeleton shelf, slowly moving forward, and even picked up a deformed silver dinner knife on the ground with great interest, turning the hilt between his bony fingers.
"Is that who you really are?" Eyes hidden behind the visor looked at Thressie, and Swain now finally understood why Thresy was always wearing that overly thick bloated coat, apparently he was hiding his true colors. Even if it looks like an ordinary person, there is a huge difference between a skeleton dressed in human skin and a flesh-and-blood, living human being.
"Ah, yes, forsaking life and death, forsaking worldly opinions, this is the most perfect reward I have received for my Lord. Thresy stretched out his skeletal arms, like the most pious priest, and exclaimed, "Jericho, do you really understand the true meaning of this identity, 'Jailer of Atropos.'"
"Cheaters. Swain was completely unmoved by Thressi's words, and the soles of his feet jerked hard, appearing in front of Thressi in an instant.
"Oh, oh, no, I'm not going to fight you right now. Thresy turned sideways, and the light bone frame easily avoided Swain's punch, "My goal has been achieved, and I don't need to continue to entangle with you, after all, Jericho wearing 'Beatrice's Gaze' is really hard to deal with......"
Seresi fell backwards, and when his back touched the ground, the hard floor rippled like water, and Thressi's form descended into the ground and vanished.
Swain stood where Thressi had disappeared, staring at the ground, but he had no idea where Thresy had gone.
Because he doesn't have the magic of perception.
"Swain......" Katerina cautiously approached, and at the same time couldn't help but glance around the dining room, right now, the royal dining room of Tiamat Palace had become a mess, and the corpses of Sinjid's men almost filled the space on the ground.
"It's not over yet. Swain clenched his fist, and Caterina noticed that Swain's palms seemed to be shaking.
"What to do...... What's going on here?" asked Caterina, and although she chose to side with her sword without hesitation, she didn't have any idea how to deal with the situation in the imperial capital next.
"It's a bit of a conflict with my plan, but it doesn't matter, at least we're still in control. ”
Swain turned, and this time Katerina could see better, and Sven's shoulders were shaking.
"Are you alright?" Caterina immediately grabbed Swain's arm, "I see you...... It doesn't seem to be in very good shape. ”
"We don't have time. Swain withdrew his arm and walked over to Alexander, who was tied to his chair, "The only advantage we have now is him, as long as the Emperor is in our hands, then we still have a chance to turn around." ”
"Yes, as long as the emperor is in our hands. Caterina looked at Alexander, and her daughter's feelings for her father were gone.
————————————————
Thresi strolled along the uninhabited Triumphal Boulevard, perhaps because there had been so many attacks on the Tiamat Palace in the past year that the surrounding residents had already become alert, and as soon as there was gunfire in the Tiamat Palace, the nearby civilians immediately evacuated from the place as if they had been alerted.
Therefore, even if Seresi walked on the most prosperous street of the original imperial capital in a skeleton posture, no ordinary people could see this terrifying scene.
"You bastard!" a shout came from behind Thressi, "You just ran away like that? I put so much into it, and you didn't really fight with Swain, so you ran away easily? ”
"Nonsense?" said Seresi's jawbone, as if to laugh, "I'm sorry, Mr. Singid, I don't think I've lied to you, my enemy is indeed Jericho, and it hasn't changed even now. However, I have not promised you that I will fight him to the death tonight, so please do not tarnish my reputation at will. ”
"Your reputation, what a ridiculous word!" said Sinjid, striding up to Thressy and grabbing him by the collar, "You said you were going to give me the secret of the 'Holmonx' that Jericho had in his possession, and now what about my men, who are all dead because of your cowardice, and yet I have not been paid at all, is your reputation really worth tarnishing me?"
Thresi's hollow eyes were fixed on Sinjid, and there was no expression to be seen on his boneless face. However, it was not only Seresi who had changed, but also Sinjid, who appeared in front of Seresi no longer the severed head of Swayn in Tiamat's palace, but a man dressed exactly like Sinjid's soldiers.
"Believe me, Mr. Sinjid, even if you don't master the technique of 'Holmonks', you are already an excellent and even legendary alchemist, if nothing else, the mere fact that you can change your body through alchemy technology has surpassed most of your colleagues, and there are only a few people in history who can match you. ”
"Less nice to say!" Sinjid shoved Thressi, "I want the secret of 'Holmonks'!"
"You're going to have this chance to get it. Thresy clenched his teeth, Sinjid completely unable to read the skull's expression, "And, since you really have such a big obsession with this secret, then I think you should be able to accept it and continue to fight side by side with me." ”
Sinjid's face trembled, and his eyes looked terrified.
"I hope you're not another guy who doesn't keep his word. ”
"Of course. Thresy shrugged her shoulders, "I hope you don't need another betrayal. ”
A cannonball landed on the Boulevard de Triumph, not far from where Seresi and Sinjid had been, and the flash of fire from the explosion illuminated the faces of both of them, but then the light disappeared.
The storm blew the corners of Sinjid's coat, but he and Thresy stood motionless.
"Then it's settled. ”
"Ah, it's decided. ”
Thresy turned his face to look at the new troop that had appeared near the Tiamat Palace.
"It seems that this night has not been peaceful. ”
Sinjid also looked at it.
"Ah, indeed, the Imperial Capital Garrison is also here. ”
"The action was surprisingly fast. The jaw snapped together, and Seresi seemed to be speechless, "Although it is also Jericho, but there can be such a big difference between father and son, hum, I am looking forward to it more and more, what kind of ending will the Jericho family have." ”
"I don't care what ends up with them. Singid frowned and glanced at Thressi again, "I only care about what I deserve. ”
"You can rest assured that I will not treat you badly. Thresy grinded his teeth, and without a fleshy face, others could only guess his expression.
"You'll get what you want, and in fact, there's what you've always dreamed of in this city, and you've rubbed shoulders with it several times. ”
Sinjid's brow furrowed even tighter, and he remembered that Swain seemed to have said the same thing to him, but he never understood what that sentence meant.
Like he didn't understand what Thressi meant now.
