Chapter 380: Scars

Lin Qiu sensed something from Ramov's conversation, but he didn't expect Ramov's worries to come true so quickly.

When Papo led them to the sacred tree, the fog was thick, and a blood-colored flame in the depths of the fog slowly gathered into the night sky in a spiral shape, full of ominous flames that frightened the robin into hiding behind Papo, who instinctively raised his trident, vigilantly guarding against the figures shuttling through the depths of the fog.

There was no opponent in front of the figure, but her fierce offensive still felt as if she was on the battlefield. The water droplets that soared into the sky turned into a rain of arrows and blasted to the ground, the sword devastated the forest, and the barrier in front of the sacred tree was shaken out by the aftermath of the sword.

Lin Qiu took a few steps forward and saw the corpse of a middle-aged man.

The giant sword was broken in two, and the fatal wounds on his body were too many to count, and this tragic situation was like being killed countless times by a single blow. In addition to the cut on his neck, the left half of his body exploded, and there was a bloody hole in his heart, as if someone had stabbed him straight through.

He walked in only to find that the swirling blood-colored flames were all from the marks on Alyssa's body.

Lin Qiu gritted his teeth and rushed forward.

......

Torches lit up in the middle of the night on the western outskirts of Solan Harbor, and Alyssa kept walking through the woods, fighting a girl of her age, who seemed weak and quiet, but whose mark was terrifying. The scouts detected the troops surrounding them and prepared in advance.

But in the moment when the two sides were about to clash, the situation was reversed.

With great difficulty, her men threw down their weapons and walked out of the ambush one by one, bound together by the troops of the Byronic Empire. It was an encounter that ended before it even began, and Alyssa could be sure that Edith and Empisai's consciousness had not disappeared, but that an invisible force had manipulated them.

It's like an invisible silk thread that turns everyone into a puppet of the girl in front of them.

"Lieutenant General Elisa, I've heard of you. The girl said as she dodged Alyssa's sharp sword. This was the first foe Alyssa had ever encountered on the battlefield that made her uneasy - not only for the engraving, but also for the best sword skills. She remembered the intelligence from the rear.

Solan Harbor has an opponent in her division.

"'Battle of Solan Harbor'. The girl shook her head.

It was the battle that made Elisa famous on the battlefield, and Elisa single-handedly sank the proud fleet of the Byron Empire, and she became a hero to Holutiah, but to the soldiers of the Byron Empire, the name Elisa Shucarredo meant death.

"Twelve ships, 264 soldiers, all of them died at sea, and my uncle and uncle were on one of the ships you sank...... So, allow me to tell you about some very complex emotions. ”

The girl's eyes froze, and the branch cut by Elisa's sword smashed into Elisa's back under the control of an invisible force. Alyssa didn't stop, and with a casual swing of the sword in her hand, the two logs broke off and fell to the ground. The aftermath of the sword's momentum severed the trees in the middle of the road, and the collapsed branches sealed the path of the pursuers.

In this gap, the girl put her toes on the branch of the tree a little and greeted Alyssa.

"Losing friends, losing loved ones, standing in front of enemies, confused and hesitant...... This kind of emotion, perhaps, you have experienced it before-"

The aftermath of the sword momentum shook the two of them back a few steps, and Alyssa's wrist was a little numb from the shock, she couldn't imagine that the girl's thin wrist could exert such a powerful force.

"They say it's war, right?"

The girl gasped a few times, and it seemed that she was under more load. She had bandaged the knight's sword in her hand to prevent it from throwing it out.

A faint trace of blood oozed under the white bandage.

......

"Alyssa, Alyssa!"

After the blow was knocked back, Lin Qiu tried to continue calling for Alyssa. Alyssa didn't spare the sword just now, and the chill in her eyes seemed to be facing her mortal enemy.

Pappo said that Lake Gallon could allow Alyssa to see the demon in her heart, the demon that was a monster made of all her murderous thoughts and sins. Now Alyssa seems to be unable to distinguish between illusion and reality.

Alyssa showed no signs of soberness, after Lin Qiu called, she grinned, the red mark had spread to her face, and her crimson gaze was locked on Lin Qiu. Lin Qiu didn't know what Alyssa saw in the illusion, she said, "That's right, this is war, in this world, there is only killing and being killed. ”

Lin Qiu's pupils shrank, and Alyssa's figure disappeared suddenly, and his eyesight could only barely catch an afterimage rushing towards him.

......

The sword that Alyssa raised stopped in front of the girl's neck, and it only took one centimeter more to cut the girl's white neck. But her hand could not advance a single bit, and the invisible force dragged her right hand, but what was stronger than the invisible force was the vibration of her heart.

Back, heartache, confusion, despair.

The girl did not flinch, and looked directly into Alyssa's eyes, after the "Battle of Solan Harbor", such emotions have been filling her heart, the soldiers on the front line of martyrdom cannot even return to their homeland with their bodies, and the uncle and uncle who have loved her since childhood have forever become the cold words on the monument to the fallen soldiers in Solan Harbor.

Just now, she passed on the emotions surging in her heart to Alyssa through the engraving.

Her father, the lord of Port Solan, wanted her to avenge the martyred soldiers, and she was the hope of Port Solan and the hope of the Byron Empire, and with her inscription, she was able to put an end to the long war that had lasted for a hundred years.

"Lieutenant General Elisa, I have a question, can you answer it for me?"

"Kill one enemy, kill ten enemies, kill hundreds, if not thousands...... Where does this end point? Perhaps, there is another way to end the war?"

As she spoke, the girl's gaze moved to Alyssa's right hand with her sword raised: "The power of the engraving is about to fail, Lieutenant General Elisa, you say...... Can I leave the choice to you?"

......

Alyssa felt her body warm.

Lin Qiu saw that Alyssa's sword was stagnant in front of him, and he felt that maybe Alyssa's sanity was recovering. So he made a bold move - he leaned forward and hugged Elisa.

Alyssa's dilated pupils seemed to change, her lips moved, and she remembered something familiar.

Sicia.

St. Gosya.

Andrew.

Ramov.

Shadow.

And also...... Tyre.

These memories are vague and distant, as if they came from a very different world. There was no war in that world, there was no blood, people lived together peacefully, maybe she was a good knight in that world?

The next moment, her eyes suddenly became sharp, and at the end of that vague memory, she saw a twisted monster. His body was covered in blood, and his face was distorted and hateful.

"Don't be stupid, you know that the world doesn't exist. ”

The monster said.

Lin Qiu was stunned for a moment, the water column on the surface of the lake rose, and Alyssa's index finger moved, and the spiky liquid shot towards his vest at the same time.

"You two idiots!" Phoenix's voice burst through the air, her body transforming into a dragon, blocking out all the liquid spikes, the gaps in her body repairing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Her movements didn't stop, Phoenix pressed her body down hard, and her flapping wings jerked suddenly, knocking Lin Qiu and Alyssa to the bottom of the lake.
