26. Swing the sword
There was a chance to escape safely, but I didn't cherish it. www.biquge.info I didn't regret it until now, when two giant Gu Wulongs dressed in girl's skin were about to tear me to shreds. If God gives me another chance, I will definitely run away as soon as possible. If I had to add a distance to the run, I would say 10,000 meters.
The inner world of the short man must have thought so.
The short man's name is Jimmy, and he is a relatively high-ranking mid-level cadre in the Green Cross organization. The Green Cross where he is located is a cult native to Coronia. After almost all of the divine beings in the multiverse were killed within two thousand years of the establishment of the Business Alliance, there were no real gods in the entire multiverse. And some cults were quietly born at this time. It was at that time that the Green Cross was born in Coronia. The founders were a group of alchemists and druids whose ultimate goal was to create an all-knowing and all-powerful God. Known for its unscrupulous and bio-hazard efforts, the group has been a number one target for the Coronian royal family, the Alchemists' Guild, and the Druid Alliance. But getting a longer lifespan is a temptation that many people can't resist, and Green Cross has a knack for extending the lifespan of living creatures. It also kept it at odds with many depraved aristocrats who longed to enjoy a life of luxury.
Today's operation would have been a success. Relying on the insiders among the nobles, they knew that a newly made source energy crystal from the Alchemist Guild would be smuggled to other planes through special channels. It is guarded only by a small team of Alchemist Guild guards. Each source energy crystal is a rare source of eternal energy, which is very attractive to the Green Cross who has been under high pressure for a long time. They used the traitors to enter Colombo's general supply reserve without any problems, and eliminated the patrols and guards that got in the way, and finally succeeded in blocking the small group of Alchemist Guild guards. Cleaning up the guards, torturing the head of the guards, and everything went smoothly until the Horseson Bruce, who didn't know the truth, showed up.
How can such an opponent just face it. Jimmy, who has a lot of eyes, guesses that his opponent is not sure where the source energy crystal is, so he uses a precious teleportation seed to force the opponent to forcibly change the teleportation receiving position, and is teleported away together. In this way, there is at least half a chance of obtaining the precious Source Energy Crystal.
Then things were beyond his comprehension. Two identical, beautiful little girls somehow appeared here. I thought it was a matter of catching an experimental object, but it turned out to provoke two terrifying humanoid Gu Wurm.
In his opinion, such a strong martial arts and good-looking twin, with so many sophisticated magical equipment, could only be the closest personal guards domesticated by some great nobles. But after he reported his home, the two girls showed no mercy. This made Jimmy, who had always known about the ambiguous relationship between the great nobles and the Green Cross, feel that he was too unlucky.
Crawling to dodge a mace, watching the ground smashed into a large hole by the head of the club, Jimmy the dwarf wailed again. The two girls worked together so well that he didn't even have a chance to cast a spell, wasting his twelve withered druid levels in vain. Such a tacit understanding, if he hadn't been trained since childhood, would have gouged out his eyes and crawled on the ground like that blind brownie.
"Ahh He dodged Easter's mace, but Sonia wanted to seize the opportunity and stabbed the dagger wrist with a sword. With a "hammer", the dagger fell to the ground. Jimmy the Short rolled backwards several times until he hit the wall of a warehouse. He looked up and saw that the tip of Sonya's sword was less than two centimeters in front of his neck.
"I surrender. Jimmy the Short said with a bitter face, clutching his bleeding wrist.
"What's next, send him to the police station?" Sonia tapped the tip of her sword on Jimmy's throat, causing the guy to break out in a cold sweat.
"Don't worry, I still have things to do. Esther looked at Brownie, who was sitting on the ground, trying to listen to what was going on, and thought to himself. "You're optimistic about this guy, we'll solve his problem later. He walked up to Bronny and said softly, "Mr. Bronny, now you see, we won." But there are still some personal matters that need to be dealt with, and I hope you can cooperate. ”
With that, before Brownie could react, a standard hand knife struck him in the back of the head, knocking him to the ground.
"What are you doing?" Sonia watched Esther's behavior in confusion.
Esther didn't answer, just turned the mace in his hand into an ordinary long sword. He walked up to Sonya, put his sword at the neck of Jimmy, and said to Sonny in a serious tone, "I'll count one, two, three, and you and I will stab the sword into it." ”
"What did you say?" Sonya's voice rose an octave. Her eyes widened and she looked at Esther with an expression of disbelief. The expression was like saying, "I heard me wrong."
"Poof. With a scream from Jimmy the Short, his intact arm was impaled by Easter's sword. The cultist cried out in pain: "Please, don't kill me." I'm going to have a good idea. Please. ”
"We have to kill him. Easter's tone was cold, even in Sonya's voice. "This guy killed twenty people in the warehouse, and he gouged out the eyes of the people lying there. He also threatened to kill the man's entire family. In the face of such a guy. I can't think of a reason not to kill him. ”
Ignoring the sharp pain in his arm, the short Jimmy hurriedly argued: "I didn't kill those people." It's someone else's hand. Brownie's eyes weren't gouged out by me either. Don't kill me, don't kill me. I can repent. ”
"We can take him to the police station. Let him get the punishment he deserves. Wouldn't that be better?" Sonya's hesitant tone was so obvious that even Jimmy the Short could hear it. He hurriedly shouted: "I am willing to go to the police station, I am willing to go to the police station." I am willing to confess my sins. Please don't kill me. ”
"This man has seen our faces, Sonya. Easter's tone was low and slow. "He is a member of a vicious cult. He has the same party. Even if he is sanctioned, his comrades will retaliate against us. We're not nobodies, especially after your victory tonight. Esther looked at Sonya, whose eyes were full of panic, and his tone intensified. "As soon as his accomplices recognize us, we will be retaliated against. With the extermination of humanity by these cultists, imagine these guys coming to our homes to take revenge. Such a situation must not be allowed to happen. This man must die today!"
"Is everything you saying true? These people are going to go to our house! This must not happen. Sonya's tone slowly became stern. She thought of Mom, Daddy, a whole bunch of younger sisters, and the youngest Madeleine, the sexless siblings in Mom's womb.
"It's fake, it's all fake. I don't have any fellow party. There will be no retaliation either. I'm just a normal criminal. Please, don't kill me. Kind Miss, Kind Miss, don't kill me. Jimmy the Short pleaded frantically to Sonya. He could see it. Only this girl could spare his life.
East watched him coldly as he performed, only using the tip of his sword to help Jimmy the Short get back to where he was going to be.
"You've said so much, I wonder if I can take off your mask and let us see what you look like. Easter's mocking tone stunned Jimmy the Elf.
"You know everything, how do you know!" Jimmy the Short didn't take off his mask, his tone becoming eerie. "I curse you, a wicked little prostitute, and you curse your whole family to die, and they all fester. ”
Nothing can be done by a mad curse. Esther lifted Jimmy's mask with the tip of his sword, revealing a completely festering face, with no nose on it, and only a hole surrounded by eight tentacles where it should be a mouth. The two eyes have no eyelids, one is green and has no pupils, and the other is simply a wriggling mass of flesh.
Sonia let out a frightened sigh and took two steps back, looking at the monster with disgust. It's a monster from a nightmare.
Despite smelling the stench behind the mask and examining the bodies of four other black cloaked bodies in the warehouse, Esther gasped when he saw Jimmy the Elf's true face.
These cultists are just terrible. To be able to turn themselves into such a ghostly thing, it is impossible to hope that they will retain the moral values of normal people.
Jimmy, the short, who was seen for his true face, let out a burst of eerie laughter. "See, are you afraid? This is the test of the true God. I passed the test, survived, and had superhuman strength ever since. ”
"Come with me to death. The monster suddenly lunged up, and despite being pierced in the chest by East's sword, grabbed Easter's sword-wielding arm, and opened the black hole that looked like a mouth, trying to spit out something.
"Poof!" After that, Esther, who was turning the sword in his hand back into a polearm, felt a warm liquid splash his face.
Sonia Throw maintained a posture of swinging her sword. Her Mithril-forged Moon Blade was dripping with blood.
Esther stops deforming and kicks Jimmy's headless corpse away.
Crimson blood stained Sonya's long blonde hair, the last time I saw it was in Irontree. But at that time, it was stained with the blood of a mad tooth. This time, it's the blood of Jimmy the Elf.
Esther withdrew his weapon and walked over to Sonya, who gently hugged her in his arms.
"It's over, isn't it?Easter?" Sonya's voice was deeper and more serious than ever, and the blood had crystallized from the Moonblade, and the smooth blade was as bright as a mirror, as if it had never been used.
"No, that's just the beginning. If you want to protect what is important to you, swing your sword when you have to. Esther whispered in Sonya's ear. "You saved me again today, you're always so reliable. ”
"No kidding. Now you are me. How could I be defeated by such a disgusting guy!"
"You're too tsundere. ”
"What do you mean by tsundere?"
"Ugh. It's the meaning of pride. ”
"Is that really the case?"
"Of course it's true. Good today, Sonya. ”
"I've always been so strong. You don't need to say it. ”
"Jimmy is dead. His heart had stopped beating. The eerie low, hissing words rang out in a richly decorated living room.
"So tonight's operation failed?" the voice was a little old. "Then the secret medicine you promised me ......"
"The secret medicine will be given to you as agreed, but I still need you to do me a favor. Help us figure out who sabotaged the operation and where the Source Energy Crystal is now. The first voice rang out again.
"As long as there are survivors, there is no problem. The second man agreed without healing.
