Chapter 16: Beheading
"In front of Lao Tzu's blade, any defense is paper! Ants, you are just wasting your efforts!"
Kano's horses leaped high, and the shadows covered the sky. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The corners of Yuri's mouth lifted into a small smile.
"We didn't add any defenses to ourselves. ”
Kano was puzzled, and before he had time to think about it, suddenly a violent feeling of weakness and powerlessness filled his body.
Immediately afterwards, he heard a loud bang, and the flat ground behind him was smashed out of the crater by an invisible behemoth, and suddenly smoke and dust and wind surged and flew.
Kano didn't know what had happened, and tried to reach out and pull the reins tightly, but found that his right hand was too weak to pull the reins.
And in the next second, a waterfall of blood poured down from above his head, dyeing the pitch-black armor and war horses a shocking red.
Kano was like a puppet in extreme shock, only to hear another loud bang, and an even larger pit appeared in the ground, and at the far end of the pit, blood gushed out freely.
Kano finally realizes that the Sky Eater has been decapitated. It was its massive head that fell to the ground for the first time.
The power quickly dissipated with the death of the Devouring Heaven, and Kano looked up at the valley with great weakness, and found that there was a steel cable between the two cliffs, and the blood on the steel cable slowly dripped down, and where the blood was not stained, it shone with holy light.
When Kano's charging speed reached its peak, following Kano's devouring sky, he was strangled by this steel rope and broke his neck.
Yuri explained triumphantly: "Slender does not mean fragile, Princess Flora once told us about the political assassination of Muntia, the assassin in the narrow alley in advance to pull the thin but extremely sharp diamond wire, and when the assassin entered the alley, the neck was strangled by the diamond silk blood, the assassin quickly pulled the mechanism to collect the diamond wire, the victim's carotid artery was immediately cut open, and then died of excessive bleeding. Today's plan for dealing with the 'arrogance' of original sin comes from this story. ”
Acknowledged, Akred was only a little puzzled, and he pointed to the taut steel rope above the canyon and said, "But Yuri, such a thick chain is not slender. ”
Yuri laughed and replied, "Of course, the tightrope is thick for you and me, but in the arrogant eyes of gigantic, he can't see anything of this size for a long time. Excessive conceit only blinds people and disdains attention to detail. ”
When Kano heard this, he felt inexplicably familiar and couldn't help but be shocked.
This is exactly what Prince Kayl once told him.
Akured suddenly realized: "Have you been provoking and then being beaten in order to plunge your opponent into extreme pride?"
Yuri nodded heavily, "That's right, Brother Acred. Arrogant people seem to be strong, but in fact they are just an illusion created by the invisible arrogance that cannot be beaten. They are not really tall, they are just inflating themselves, but in this hypocritical and powerful appearance, there is also a fatal weakness. Arrogance can never bring true strength, so arrogance is called original sin, not a virtue. ”
Kano endured the extreme feeling of powerlessness, reluctantly raised the blade hanging in his hand by a few inches, and said with difficulty and hoarseness: "Damn, only ants dare to ......"
The hammer flew from a distance and struck Kano in the chest, knocking him off his horse.
"You two, what the hell, what kind of guy......" Kano's vitality has bottomed out.
Yuri catches the slash that fell from the sky: "It's unfortunate that one of the seven original sins is arrogant, since you want to become Knox's servants, we happen to be your nemesis." ”
Akured also carried the Holy Hammer heroically and replied, "That's right, remember, we are the Knights of the Holy Light!"
Yuri's ears moved slightly when he heard his friend habitually say this line, and a feeling of both sourness and warmth welled up in his heart.
Brother Acred, I'm no longer a Knight of Light.
But why do I want to do so much, I can still fight side by side with you, and wear light to drive away the darkness like before, although it is only a short ten minutes, it is already a surprise that I never expect.
Seeing that Yuri's smile was very calm, Akured immediately realized that what he had just said was very inappropriate, and the silent wind blew through the canyon on the robes of the two teenagers, but it could not dilute the sorrow between their brows.
Luckily, Kano broke the awkward deadlock, and he shouted in horror, "I'm a servant of Knox? You say I'm one of the seven original sins? Why can't I understand a word! Isn't Knox the god of darkness? Aren't his servants creatures of darkness?"
Kano struggled to hold his hands on the ground and kept retreating: "Hehe, do you think I am a fool! There can be no dark creatures in the realm of elves! You must be mistaken! I am not the original sin, I am one of the apostles of the black witch!"
Akured frowned, didn't this bastard even know what his true identity was?
What is the inside story of the mutation that has taken place in Muntia, what is the true identity of the black witch, and how does the power of darkness erode this land through the magnificent blue barrier?
Yuri smiled wearily, interrupting Akured's musings.
"Dude, what are you going to do next?"
Akred, after a moment of deep thought, replied, "Bring the Dark Minions back to the temporary branch, of course. ”
Yuri said with clear eyes, "Then can I secretly beg you to let me go for the time being?"
Akured was stunned, then shook his head and laughed softly.
"Ulysses, the heretic of the Order, is a very sinister and cunning fellow. In order to deceive my trust, he not only used the Mandate of the God of Fire and the God of Storms by unknown means, but also did not hesitate to take action against the original sin, who was also a servant of darkness. Because this disguise is really superb acting, even I was accidentally blinded to pass. There is no choice but to obediently go back and receive the punishment, and then next time, arrest you at any cost. ”
"Yes, that was the way it was!"
Yuri put his arms behind his head and smiled kindly.
However, neither of the two teenagers noticed that in the shadow of the clouds at the top of the canyon, two unidentified girls were quietly observing the battle below.
Most of the girl's face was hidden under a gold-trimmed black hood, with only light purple lips pursed. The other girl's dress is flying, the red gauze long sleeves are as flowing as clouds, her extremely bewitching figure is enough to be used as a poison to seduce all men's souls, and her flawless and delicate facial features are enough for her to drive soulless men.
The beautiful girl held her chin and said beautifully: "Oh, I didn't expect the arrogant uncle to be planted in the hands of two unknown juniors." I'm afraid that from now on, he will no longer have the confidence to call others wastewood. ”
"I didn't expect the people of the Holy Light Knights to appear in the territory of the elves. The black-hatted girl said in a nonchalant tone, "I'm afraid this will bring some variables." ”
The beautiful girl showed a charming smile like a cat and said, "What should I do, does that half-dead uncle need to be saved?"
"Although he is completely useless, he will definitely cause us problems if he falls into the hands of the Knights. Luni, please go and bring him back. ”
The black-hatted girl finally added calmly, "As for the two knights, let them kill each other as you please." ”
The beautiful girl immediately stood up straight, playfully twisted her curvy little waist, and the copper bell on her body jingled, and then turned into a pink whirlwind and disappeared without a trace.
Yuri is going to join Princess Vicky, while Akured is looking for Miss Louis, especially if she doesn't want to see that he and Yuri are very familiar with each other, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
Unbeknownst to him, Miss Louise herself had already fought a good battle with another important abscond.
At this moment, Yuri heard someone in the distance say in an extremely familiar voice, "Yuri, please listen to me and walk, okay?"
This sentence caused Yuri's body to shake suddenly. In fact, not only the body, but also the soul vibrated violently with it.
He turned his head with extremely shocked eyes, and the sin in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter.
"Teacher?"
Akured also looked back in shock, the woman who appeared in his sight was not the deceased Knight of the Dawn mentioned by Yuri.
Yuri couldn't look away, couldn't move any part of his body, and could only stare blankly at him, Teacher Qiao Luya, who was thinking about him for a long time, walked in front of him, stretched out a slender white hand and gently stroked his face.
"Yuri, listen to the teacher, that half-dead uncle can't be taken away by Akured. ”
Yuri wondered, "But that man is one of the original sins. ”
Teacher Qiao Luya's blue pupils reflected a cold light: "Original sin is a very evil existence. But is the Knights of the Holy Light really the embodiment of justice and goodness?"
Yuri's heart froze, and his eyes couldn't help but harden as he flashed back to the last image of Teacher Qiaoluya's death, and the painful memories of his subsequent fall into heresy and being judged by the Order.
Teacher Qiao Luya said softly, "Yuri, you have always trusted the teacher the most, right? How the Order will treat an evil being as powerful as Arrogance is not necessarily something you can guess. ”
Yuri remembers what happened to Vigi, who had committed a war crime and was determined to die, but the Order wanted to take advantage of his outstanding talents and put him under house arrest in a nursing home, hoping to buy him off with the best of the best.
Therefore, if arrogance is controlled by the Order, it really does not necessarily get the punishment it deserves.
Yuri then turned back to Akured and shouted, "Hey, brother Akured, please give us your arrogance!"
But Akured looked at Yuri with a shocked face, and said word by word: "Yuri, what's wrong with you, you want that heinous heretic around you to take away important people?"
