Chapter 257: The Price
Footsteps could be heard from far and near at the stairs, and the irritation on Ella's face turned to horror as the visitor stepped into front of everyone. The pale blue whip dragged a long scratch on the ground, and in her other hand she held a dying soldier.
Things are still getting worse and worse.
The hidden danger of the monster has not been lifted, and there is such an uninvited guest in the palace again.
The first thing Sophia saw when she opened her eyes was Melia's arrival, and there was no panic in her eyes - the one who paid the price for her willfulness nine years ago was Melia, who was charged with the massacre and subsequently banished by the Church, and had no place in the Holuthia League.
Melia's cloudy gaze stared straight at her, not even glancing at Ella. Sophia saw the black crow mark on her right arm.
It seems that it is time for her to pay the price for her waywardness nine years ago......
Sophia struggled to get up, but two figures stood in front of her first.
"You're the princess of the human race, aren't you? It's too early to give up. ”
Although the people who walked slowly towards them had brought them an endless sense of oppression, and at this moment, the easiest way for them was to escape from the pile of monsters that had gone crazy, but they all chose this way.
Bibab and Zultan protected Princess Sophia behind them, one after the other.
"Zultan, it's rare that that human boy has fulfilled his promise, and it would be too damaging to the majesty of the monster if he retreated at such a time...... The boy called me the lion king of the steppe, and I could not live up to his expectations. Zurtan, think of the days when we were locked up in the underground institutions, and now the enemy is standing in front of us......"
"Bibab ......"
"Let's vent all our past grievances, and now let's see who is the most vicious monster king in the north!"
"Bibab ......"
"Monsters, never compromise!"
"Bibab, I don't want to interrupt you, but ......"
Zurtan pointed to the few humans led by Sophia who were full of question marks, he did not object to the bloody oath before the war, but the problem was that there was still a language barrier between them and humans, and now even Phoenix, the only one who could act as an interpreter, was gone, and the monsters that escaped with them fell into a frenzy, and the only one who could understand him was him.
"They have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. ”
Super embarrassing!
The court physician's caring eyes stung Bib's strong pride, and he forgot that there was still this stubble. This damn language barrier, all the bloody vows he had been brewing for so long were ruined.
"Look at the moves, Lion Fist!"
Annoyed and angry, Bibab was the first to attack, and he pounced on Melia and suddenly lifted his shapeshift, his huge body destroyed the porch of the dormitory, and his sharp claws slapped at Melia fiercely - "Zurtan, those fools controlled by potions are handed over to you!"
"Bang-"
Bibab's right paw came to rest less than half a meter in front of Melia's head, and the toenail that was bent forward almost stuck to Melia's face. But his right claw could not move forward half an inch, and the pale blue whip wrapped around his entire right claw. Melia slowly moved her gaze to the long whip in her hand, and a chill suddenly rose in Bibab's heart.
This woman has changed, compared to the last fight, although Melia now has the same skin, her eyes are dull, like a killing machine.
He could feel the long whip wrapped around its right claw tightening, the current of water cutting his skin with ease.
Oops!
He'd seen the power of Meria's whip, which could easily cut through steel, let alone his bones.
"What are you doing?"
As soon as Zultan turned around, he saw Bibab in trouble, and he knew that Bibab was probably no match for the human woman, but he didn't expect to find himself in such a situation with just one face. In desperation, he jumped up and retreated, his four feet firmly on the ceiling, and his tongue shot straight at Melia's right arm like an arrow.
As soon as the strength of Melia's whip loosened, Bibab broke free from her control.
His movements became extremely cautious.
Grappling, no enemy!
Such a ridiculous thought arose in his heart. Because the so-called grappling is a trick he learned from humans, this is usually the way humans use sea tactics to fight monsters during the Demon Tide War, and the reason why such tactics are adopted is because monsters have overwhelming power. Before that, he had always been proud of his strength, but after the confrontation, he realized that this woman was not inferior in strength at all?
What's going on?
Melia's figure can only be described as weak compared to him.
This is a terrifying discovery, as strength is the monster's only advantage.
From now on, he must concentrate on the long whip in the opponent's hand, and once he gets entangled again, the end will be devastating. However, the next moment, he found that his hind limbs seemed to be firmly nailed to the ground, and the moment his right claw fell, a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of him, and the short knife in the black shadow's hand pierced his front paw and fiercely pointed it towards the ground.
It doesn't work!
Bibab stared at the sudden appearance of a dark shadow with a dagger that must have been coated with a potion that would paralyze him, so that he was not even aware that his hind limbs were firmly pinned to the ground.
Melia didn't pursue, she stopped, and turned her dull gaze to the sudden figure.
"I really didn't expect to be attacked by monsters, but sure enough, it was more convenient to assassinate monsters. After completely sealing Bibab's limbs, the dark shadow laughed gloomily - the Crow Assassins had not been doing well in the first half of the night, but they had finally managed to achieve some success on this battlefield.
As the oldest assassin in the world, the Crows have been active on the battlefield since the First Demon Tide War, and their targets at that time were not humans, but monsters known as dangerous species. In other words, the assassins of the crows are all experts in dealing with monsters.
Regardless of whether the bound monster could understand his words, he spoke, "Although it is only a matter of time before you are dealt with by Captain Melia, we still have more tasks on our shoulders - after killing the princess, there are still Richard and the Sixth waiting for us." ”
Seeing that Melia was silent, he suddenly realized, "I almost forgot, Master Sindora said that you have lost your mind, and it seems that I have to make it simpler." ”
Although he was happy to do it for him, Mistress Sindora had told her that she must have Melia take off the heads of the Henry family herself. But for the sake of Melia being their captain, he didn't care too much.
- "These monsters are useless, kill them, and then take off the princess's head." ”
This time, Melia nodded slightly.
The whip in her hand slashed straight through Bibab's abdomen, and a bloody arrow shot out. With a low roar, his mountain-like body fell to one side.
"Now, it's your turn. ”
The Crow Assassin turned his gaze to Sophia.
