Chapter 23: Dawn (1)
When Constantine and Gayan walked out of the Icewind Forest, they found Roland and Siegfried standing outside the forest.
Seeing Jiayan, Roland frowned slightly, a look of vigilance flashed in his eyes, and his five fingers pressed on the hilt of the holy sword beside him.
Roland knew who she was.
Before the first battle of the martial arts conference, the dragon lance woman in front of her and Roland Austin, who was the "Imperial Sun", were recognized as the two most powerful geniuses among the young characters in the next generation of continents, and the enemies of their lives in the future.
There were countless people who speculated and looked forward to the moment they met on the battlefield.
"His Highness Gayan Nibelungen. Roland looked at Kayan calmly, "We finally met, much earlier than I thought. β
Gayan paused, looked at the handsome man in front of him a few times, and after feeling the pure and peaceful divine power in his body, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and the vertical lines in his pupils glowed with a dangerous cold light.
She said in a very flat tone, "Indeed, in my original estimate, it will be at least another ten years before we meet on the battlefield, Roland Austin, the chief cadet of the Paladine Academy, the youngest Sanctuary powerhouse in the history of the Holy Empire. β
"However, if you want to challenge me now, I'm happy to do so. The dragon vein said lightly. "The premise is that you must first be aware of dying in battle. β
After the bitter battle of Winterfell and the trek on the snowfield for dozens of days, her current state has not yet returned to her peak, but her tone is still proud and confident to the extreme, as if she can kill a Sanctuary swordsman like Roland at any time if she wants.
Roland shrugged, "I'd love to fight you, but unfortunately, I'm someone's knight right now, and he certainly doesn't want to see me fight you right now." β
"And, the guy next to me seems to want to do it more than me. Roland glanced at Ziegfei beside him.
Kayan felt a tingle in his cheeks and turned his head to find the young man standing beside Roland staring at her face with a sword-like gaze, the battle intent in his eyes burning like lava and seemingly able to set the entire forest to ashes.
From the young man, an undisguised and powerful killing intent rose up, heading straight for Kayan.
Also a sanctuary?
Without thinking, Kayan activated his dragon vein skill--- [Elemental Mastery].
The tide of the elements converged, and a large area of fire, frost, and earth poured down like rain, and white frost marks spread across the earth, and orange flames jumped happily......
Almost at the same second as Kayan's attack, Roland had quietly slid back dozens of steps, holding up a golden shield of light in his left hand to resist the elemental power that was scurrying around.
Siegfried pulled out [Balmunk] from his back with his backhand, and the luster on the Dragon Slayer Demon Sword flowed with a solidified dark red, as if it had been soaked in the sea of corpses and blood for countless years.
The young man held the sword in one hand, did not dodge or dodge, and slashed straight at the colorful elemental turbulence in front of him.
Boom, several explosions, and a whirlwind that rose from the ground roared into the sky, mixed with splashes of fire and frost and snow.
The north wind was abrupt, and the trees on the outskirts of the Icewind Forest shook their thick bodies under the hedge of two powerful magical forces, and the leaves fell in a flutter.
Siegfried ignored the elemental turbulence that galloped by, and with a sword slash, his figure shot out like an arrow from a string, crushing the hoarfrost all over the ground.
The magic sword in the young man's hand turned into a cloud of red light in his speeding footsteps, illuminating the Icewind Forest at night.
The entire forest seemed to be lit up with a dark red glow like flames.
Facing the wild rush of Siegfei, Jiayan calmly raised his hand, his five fingers constricted into a fist, and the dark gold dragon scales already covered his entire arm.
In the entire Icadia continent, no strong person can ignore her punch in the dragon state, even the barbarian Blaze, who has inherited the Titan bloodline and has a strong body, finally paid the price of his life after resisting her fist.
Her elbows were retracted, ready to deliver a frontal blow, a lesson she would never forget.
However, just as she was about to throw this punch, a sudden sense of crisis and horror instantly filled her chest, making her face a strange pale.
Her instincts told her that the young man's sword was dangerous, and that her punch might not be able to knock him out.
Even, there is a good chance that she will be hit hard by this sword.
At this moment, a figure stopped in front of her, and the long sword was instantly unsheathed and crossed in front of her.
The legendary long sword as translucent as glass rose up, holding up the epic giant sword [Balmunck] that quickly fell.
The two swords touched, a crisp humming sound popped out, the clear sword body of [Dawn] trembled slightly, and countless crystal chips shook off the sword body, eroded into a dark red by the breath of the magic sword, like weathered rock powder.
Separated by the intersecting blades, two pairs of eyes that were familiar to each other looked at each other.
In this world, only the two generations of owners of the crystal sword in front of him could make the almost crazy Siegfried stop the pace of attack.
Siegfried looked at Constantine in front of him, felt the firmness in the other party's gaze, and suddenly remembered those pictures from many years ago.
When they were young, whenever they practiced swords, similar scenes were staged many times.
At that time, the young Constantine needed to grit his teeth and hold the sword in both hands to reluctantly swing a sword with one hand at will, and then, under Siegfried's mocking gaze, he held the sword, panting and half-kneeling on the ground, sweating profusely.
However, no matter how hard it worked, the boy would eventually raise his head again, look at Siegfried with an extremely firm and focused gaze, and say, "Come again." β
Today's scene seems to be the same as it was at the beginning.
It's just that the current Constantine is no longer the little boy who couldn't even take a sword from him.
"Give me a reason. Siegfried said, he didn't stop, the magic sword still emitted an extremely dangerous red light, like a hot torch, reflecting the vast snow into a blood-like dark red.
Constantine didn't blink, and the hand holding the crystal sword was as steady as ever, just like his calm voice at the moment, "She's not your enemy, Siegfried, she's even your relative in terms of blood." β
"My true relatives are long gone, and when I was seven years old, Constantine. Siegfried said coldly.
"When I was a child, I told you that the people of the Dragon Lance Royal Family deserve to die, they are not worthy of inheriting the surname and bloodline of their ancestors, let me get out of the way. β
"I won't stand in the way of your revenge, but I won't allow you to hurt her either. Constantine lowered his head slightly, his wrist trembling slightly uncontrollably along with the blade of his sword.
At close proximity to [Balmunck], the terrifying sword aura triggered by the demon sword bathed in countless dragon blood cut shallow lines of blood on Constantine's face.
Each line of blood symbolizes Siegfried's angry questioning.
Blood dripped on the snow like a blooming rose.
The pinprick pain hit Constantine's nerves, but the boy did not let go at all, his gaze was firm and calm.
Under the jagged teeth of the magic sword, the trembling of the blade became more and more intense, and subtle cracks spread on the sword body of [Dawn], revealing an ominous aura, as if the next moment, the crystal sword would shatter into countless fragments.
This legendary sword, which accompanied Constantine through countless dangerous battles, finally could not support it in the face of the older and more powerful [Balmunck].
"Why?" Siegfried asked indifferently, not caring at all about the change in [Dawn].
"She's my fiancΓ©e. β
"The Duchy of Azeroya is gone, and your marriage contract is nothing more than a piece of paper. Siegfried reminded coldly.
"Kayan saved me on the snowy field. Constantine said, "I owe her my life." β
"She's from the Dragonlance Dynasty, and if I kill her, you don't need to owe her anything more. β
Siegfried glanced indifferently at Gayan behind Constantine, "I know you too well, Constantine, your real reason is not this. β
"I like her. Constantine said calmly.
Siegfried watched Constantine silently for a few seconds, then slowly removed his sword.
Constantine exhaled, and the crystal sword plunged into the snow in front of him, his face pale and his body shaky.
The murderous aura of the Dragon Slayer Demon Sword was too strong, Constantine did not have the physique of a Sanctuary powerhouse, and facing the coercion of [Balmunk] so closely had a great load on his body after all.
Kayan stared at the long sword in Siegfei's hand in a daze.
As a dragon vein, she knew what this sword was the moment she felt the breath of the magic sword.
For all the descendants of the dragon vein, this sword and the name of his master are a legend that will always be looked up to.
"Balmonck. Stunned, Gayan muttered to himself, "A weapon belonging to the Nibelungen Emperor, what the hell are you ......?"
She suddenly came to her senses and hurried to Constantine's side to hold his body. "Are you alright?"
Roland walked over to Constantine and chanted a incantation, and divine light fell on Constantine to heal his injuries.
Zieg Fei's hand shook, and the magic sword turned into a beam of white light and melted into the diamond on his forehead, disappearing.
Then he turned his gaze to Kayan.
"I don't want to do anything to my brother's woman," Ziegfei said lightly, "So, I'll let you go, but if I encounter any Dragonlance Royals other than you in the future, I'll kill them all." β
With that, Siegfried turned his head and turned away, never looking at Constantine again.
"What the hell is going on?" Roland said with a sigh as he looked at Constantine's face, which was paler than snow.
