Chapter 445: Confinement
The man who abandoned his loved one suddenly felt the urge to cry, Pedro left Hunian because he didn't want to give up all his humanity, and Stannis killed the only elder brother he once admired and admired, but always regarded himself as an unsurpassable elder brother.
When Pedro raised his head again, Stannis knew the final battle was coming.
Anya landed gently, and the purple sparks shining in her eyes had dissipated, indicating that her previous ability to absorb Pedro had been exhausted.
Stannis patted the ash on his body, which also contained a bit of Hunian's bones, and when his hand left his tattered coat, the dark dragon sound armor once again wrapped his whole body, and there was no such thing as a struggle for the throne now, and Stannis saw only hatred in Pedro's eyes.
"You're right, we're the same kind of people, we both want to rule this country, and we both think we're going to free this country from the shackles of the Empire, but the only difference between me and you is that I'm still human, at least for now. ”
Pedro was calming his breath, he already knew that everything was irretrievable, that he should have known that he was going to lose everything when he made up his mind to take this path, and now the only goal in his mind that he wanted to catch up was finally gone.
"Do you know how hard it has been for me to get to this point, and how much humanity you are still talking to me about here, have you forgotten how you got the name of your dragon terrorist! The master told me that at that time, in order to survive, you also sacrificed the woman you loved the most to him! And now you have the face to accuse me, what a big joke!"
This is the first time Stannis has heard of this, in short, Sasha's death is a complete blank in his memory, and it seems that the people around him do not know what happened at that time, but suddenly one day Stannis returned to his territory without saying a word and buried her in a place where no one knows.
Stannis looked at Anya with a pleading gaze, but she also said she didn't know anything.
"I don't understand what you're talking about, besides he's him, I'm me, and now I can pat my chest and say that everyone I kill is a damned person, and I will never make a deal with those abyss masters!"
With that, Stannis drew his twin swords and confronted Pedro in a round dance stance, and the smoke and dust that were raised did not disperse for a long time, and they surrounded him like the king's guard.
But his words sounded to Pedro tantamount to the childish remarks of a three-year-old, "You have already seen the king of the labyrinth, and you can still speak such arrogant language, are you crazy! Before his abyssal power, all mortals can do is surrender! And those who are born kings like you and me want to use those gods and let their power be used by us!"
To this day, Pedro is still so naïve, he has not yet realized the fact that he is just an outcast.
"But didn't that guy abandon you!" Stannis interrupted, and then he whispered, "You're standing at the entrance and peering into the abyss, and the abyss is staring at you. ”
Pedro stopped, he also knew that it was useless to talk too much, and that only one person could leave on top of the ruins.
Anya, who had been standing by and silent, suddenly noticed that all the dust that had fallen on the ground was floating, and she wanted to click on them with her hand, but found that her hand couldn't move no matter what, as if she was in another space and couldn't join the battle.
It seems that Pedro didn't want anyone to disturb this king-to-king battle, and with a snap of his fingers, the scepter and tiara ring appeared on the gazebo steps not far from them, which had once been the central location of Fort Phoenix.
"Then let's see, who is the real King of Destiny, I have an oracle by my side, and you have nothing!"
"If I could be king with those words alone, I would have studied Feng Shui a long time ago!"
Stannis showed great disdain for these prophecies, but although he pretended to be extremely dismissive of Pedro on the surface, he was actually completely panicked in his heart, and in the face of an angry enemy, he could be said to have no chance of winning, but he didn't know why Anya, who kept saying that he was going to kill Pedro, was standing there like a stake at this time, without her support, he would definitely die.
But now Anya is suffering and can't say it, she still maintains the way she raised her hand to cast spells before, but she can neither move nor speak, as if this body does not belong to herself, and her real self is locked in this physical cage.
Anya cursed herself for being careless, but she didn't know when Pedro would use this high-level protective magic. Although on the surface her body is still in the world, in fact, her soul has long been transported to other unknown realms, and now she can only watch what is happening in front of her, but she cannot make any effective response, only the same high-level spell freedom or huge energy can pull herself back to the world.
This kind of magic requires an extremely lengthy preparation time and an extremely striking hand-raising gesture, and even the legendary archmage Imin cannot cast a spell instantly, and the man in front of him certainly cannot. However, after thinking for a while, Anya finally knew why Pedro had wrapped himself in unquenchable fire just now, not only to dispel the Stygian Butterfly, but more importantly, to use the barrier created by the fire to cover his spell casting.
Anya kept blaming herself, just a little slack is fatal to deal with such a cunning enemy, and now she is trapped in her body and cannot participate in the battle, and as a warrior, Stannis certainly can't know what happened to her, let alone use freedom to rescue her. Now the only thing she could do was silently pray that he would be able to defeat the enemy.
However, she obviously overestimated Stannis's strength, or underestimated Pedro's magic, just a few seconds, Stannis was blown up by the flames, and then started to run wildly again, but Stannis's escape this time was not as easy as before, Pedro's magic was like an inexhaustible smash towards Stannis, and the dust raised made him miserable, Stannis knew that as soon as he relaxed, he would be immediately chased by the spell and blown into a ball of flesh.
"Fuck!" Of course, Stannis was not just passively beaten, he also wanted to find time to fight back, but Pedro's bastard kept hovering in the air, making Stennis's sword useless, and the only dragon roar that could reach the opponent also needed time to prepare, and Pedro obviously wouldn't give him time.
