Chapter 5: The Halberd and the Maiden (I)

The crimson halberd turned into wind, into shadow, into deadly ruling, piercing through the atmosphere and slashing at Ulysses with unstoppable force.

As unpredictable as ever, as powerful as ever, and there is no longer a limit to the range of attack, as long as the prey locked by this halberd can not escape its killing even if it flashes thousands of kilometers away.

This is Leilu's weapon, the embodiment of the law of killing that transcends the concept of Noble Phantasm, and slaughters the murder weapon of the earthly giant python Yormangunde.

She didn't possess a demon god like Valak, nor was she chosen by Aixcaliba, the golden sword of victory and hope, as Arcelia did, and the halberd in her hand was originally just an ordinary weapon, or even a low-quality steel that could be found everywhere.

However, it was this halberd that accompanied Leilu through countless battlefields, grew up in blood and killing, and finally sublimated into it after meeting "him", and had the name of "Red Tears".

When Relu left Agunis, the land of the dragon, she didn't take anything with her, only the halberd on her back. As a descendant of the dragon, she did not inherit the slightest power of the dragon vein, and she was an outlier in this out-and-out outlier, but that was not the reason for her departure.

She just wanted to get out and about, and that's just the simple reason. She was not bound by her origins, nor was she defeated by the discrimination of those around her. Since she was a child, she has supported herself with her own hands, and while others are still enjoying love in the arms of her parents, she has begun to carry a halberd taller than her body and step on the battlefield.

Is she the princess of the princess, the princess status has never brought her anything good, but has made her constantly hostile and ridiculed.

However, she didn't need to care about that kind of thing, she walked on her own path in life in her own way, and finally became the most feared figure on the battlefield.

Ghosts and gods – that's an ominous term, cursed monsters. This word is used to describe the kind of killer who has reached the extreme on the battlefield, because he is too powerful, too desperate, and in the eyes of people, this kind of person is synonymous with nightmares. After single-handedly killing all the tens of thousands of troops invading the Northern Empire, Leilu received this terrifying title, and it was also the most suitable title for her.

In the eyes of others, her life seems to appear to embody the concept of killing.

But in the eyes of Ulysses, this is not the case. Because he knew that Lei Lu was actually very easy-going by nature, her killing was never meaningless, she was not a monster to kill for the sake of killing, but she knew very well what she had to do to wield that halberd.

As if the two were at war, it was not a simple exercise, but a pact she had made to Ulysses.

Things go back to ten minutes ago.

Before the glow of the setting sun wore off, Relu rode the rabbit and led Ulysses to a huge lake. This lake is the largest freshwater lake in Agunis, the land of dragons, and the sacred place where the dragons of the water system are said to have lived.

"Okay, rest. Upon reaching her destination, Lelu jumped off the bunny and began to expertly raise the fire, striking the surface of the water to pat countless fish, and then grilled the fish. It can be seen that she has long been used to such things.

Sitting next to the fire, Ulysses felt like he had stepped back in time, as if he had returned to the days when he was a guest mercenary in Taji City. At that time, he often ate around the fire at night with various mercenary squads, and sometimes even stayed in the field for a month for a mission.

"Bread, salt......" After the fish was baked until it was medium-rare, Relu unceremoniously stretched out her hand to Ulysses, and attached a condition:

"Black pepper beef flavor. ”

"Okay. Ulysses closed his eyes, and the soul light around him naturally gathered and unfolded the legendary great divine technique.

"God says that the earth will give us food, that the sun will give us warmth, and that the sun and the earth will give birth to the most delicious food. ”

In the inner world of Ulysses, sunlight appeared, and countless golden ears of wheat swayed in the wind, the children of the sun after the harvest, the best and fullest crops born by absorbing the many solar energies.

The sun envelops these magical ears of wheat, giving them an alluring fragrance. The smell of honey and milk wafts through the air, a gift from God.

The finest frosted beef appeared in the air, the essence of a whole cow, a black cow weighing hundreds of kilograms with only a few thousand grams of the highest quality beef. This grade of beef doesn't even need to be chewed too hard, but the fat juice slides down the throat like nectar the moment you bite into it, and the texture is delicate, and the fat and lean parts are shiny, and even emitting an attractive aroma in the sun.

The power of the sun was activated, and the sunlight converged into a magic array that contained just the right amount of beef and other ingredients. The vast spell circuit was built in less than a second, and then the light turned into flames, igniting the highest quality materials and spices to form the most flawless blueprint of the work.

The 100,000 circuits were activated, and the smell of the sun-scorched and the smell of the beef being roasted by the light intertwined, and finally with a "bang!", a golden-colored bread wrapped in black pepper beef and exuding an incomparably tempting aroma appeared in Ulysses's hand. This chubby, round bread exudes a fluffy and soft texture like a small sun, and the aroma of beef mixed with black pepper inside makes you can't help but appetize.

This is the highest level of food making that is unique in the history of divine arts—the Divine Golden Fat Bread Making Technique. Because the composition of the technique is too complex, it involves many ancient mysteries, and it has always been a legendary legendary magic.

Moreover, unlike the bread-making technique that is an introduction to the Divine Arts, the Divine Golden Fat Bread can be freely adjusted in taste. The reason why this magic is so complex and difficult to learn is that it requires you to calculate all the raw materials and manufacturing methods of countless delicious breads in this world in one go, and then you can freely combine countless kinds of golden bread.

This is a legendary magic at the pinnacle of food-making, and it is as complex as séance. However, séances are often used by the church at any cost, and this sacred golden bread technique has been lost for an unknown number of years until it was reproduced by Ulysses.

Don't underestimate this golden bread, it can not only restore mental energy, but also bring the highest level of delicious enjoyment, which can warm people's hearts. Ulysses could make sacred golden bread of any flavor as long as he wanted to.

Holding a seasoned grilled fish in one hand and a sacred golden fat bread with black pepper beef flavor in the other, Lei Lu took a bite of it together.

"Hmm...... Delicious. ”

It doesn't take a thousand words, but the word delicious is the highest opinion Relu has of Ulysses' holy golden fat bread. It was the smell she remembered, unusually fluffy, with a very pleasant smell of sunshine. After eating it in one bite, it barely takes a special bite and enters the stomach, and the sweet taste of barley and honey flows to the bottom of my heart.

This is the one who made a pact with her, and there can be no mistake, this bread is only he has given her. After that, she searched for him for a long, long time, and left the dragon country of Agunis to start traveling, eventually stopping at Sofia, the land of commerce, because this is the place where he is most likely to be found.

After eating the last of the black pepper beef-flavored sacred golden fat bread, Relu suddenly looked up and looked at him with a look that Ulysses had never seen before.

"Will the old contract continue?" asked Ulysses as Relu asked, in her eyes, he had not changed in the past, he had not changed now, and he probably would not change in the future.

"Contract?" Ulysses looked at Relu with some confusion, not quite understanding what she was talking about.

"Well, the new contract, Tuxus said......" Relu tilted her head, allowing Ulysses to miss the last chance.

"What is the new contract? What did Taxis tell you?"

"Marry you, Mira and Angela both agreed, and the other dragons seem to be incidental gifts. Leilu broke the news as if nothing had happened, and Ulysses was speechless for a long time.

Although she knew from Relu's mouth how decisive Taxis was and did not hesitate to kill the dragons, Ulysses could not have imagined that she would do such a thing.

"Taxis also said that if you want, you can also enjoy all the other dragon princesses in this country, who are originally subordinates of the dragon clan. It's rare for Relu to say so much, but it's really bad news for Ulysses.

"Very good, take it all, in order to reserve strength, dragons are good material. Ishtar's voice popped up, reminding him of his biggest goal now.

"It's that simple, I haven't even seen them in person. Ulysses strongly protested that he wanted a better way, even if he needed strength.

"Well, let her be your thing, and that little pirate. In order to fight the last enemy, it is best to gather all the forces of the Four Horsemen of Doom. "Ishtar has given the most suitable target at the moment.

"Who is the last enemy?" Ulysses had been strange since Goethe's first battle, because Ishtar could have unfused immediately, but he had remained in this state for the sake of the enemy he didn't even know where.

"Soon you will learn that it is your inevitable strongest opponent, an enemy that you will never be able to defeat right now. Ishtar's breath fell into a deep slumber again.

For the "final battle" that is bound to come, she is doing whatever it takes to help Ulysses increase his strength.

Because, she is the magic messenger of battle, the strongest combat power around the demon king.
