Chapter Eighty-Three: Anti-Pursuit
At the moment when everyone was stunned by the Soul Eater's howl, the Blood Soul Demon Spider Emperor suddenly spat out a cloud of spider silk, trying to capture Aslan and the others at once. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Seeing this, the old cigarette butt hurriedly swung a tornado, which instantly swept Bloody Maria into it, and the spider silk was also wiped out by the strong wind. When he noticed that Moira was trying to manipulate the scarecrow to rush up, he used his mental power to compress a wind bomb in front of him, and then exploded the wind bomb without hesitation.
"Bang!"
The raging hurricane tore apart the scarecrows, and Moira could only step aside, maneuvering more than a dozen scarecrows around her to resist the hurricane's erosion.
On the other side, the Blood Soul Demon Spider Emperor struggled in the eye of the tornado, and the surrounding trees rose one after another, and the sharp branches were driven by the flowing wind to kill sharply, leaving shocking cuts on her ugly body in a moment.
The old cigarette butt seized the opportunity and led Aslan and the others into the woods, where they found many human corpses along the way, dressed in uniform and sophisticated equipment, looking like a mercenary army that had been fighting all year round, and one of the corpses stopped Aslan in his tracks.
"That's Oz!" Zoya looked stunned, apparently recognizing the corpse's owner, who had a conflict with them in Moonfall Bay.
She vaguely remembered that the nobles had said that Oz was one of Lord Wilson's most powerful commanders, and the second prince Reuben's personal bodyguard, whose strength had reached the high-level secret gold, but now he was a cold corpse, lying on his back in the deep woods.
"These are all Virunga's palace guards, and I paid the price of an arm to kill them. Arthur stopped, glaring at the corpses of Oz and the others with a look of resentment.
"What the hell is going on with Moira saying that you are a follower of the Father, and now there are palace guards and people from the Pope hunting you down?" Aslan felt the need to get to Arthur's bottom line, he didn't want to be involved in a political struggle for no reason.
Arthur also knew that the situation was urgent, and he still needed the help of Aslan and others if he wanted to escape, thinking of this, he used the shortest words to tell the reason why he was hunted down and killed.
According to Arthur, Aslan and the others learn that his father is one of Roland's two kings, Wilson Claude, the ruler of the Kingdom of Veronga.
Lord Wilson got drunk at a dinner party and finally pampered one of the ladies who served him to bed, and the lowly court maid was Arthur's own mother, Lilith Kolya.
Although for Lilith, the so-called pampering is just another synonym for ***, she has no choice but to sacrifice her body in fear every day, and it is not until she is five months pregnant with Arthur that Lord Wilson's lust for her is temporarily extinguished.
However, for Queen Dilisa, Arthur's mother is a seductive bitch, and Arthur is a threat to her two sons to inherit the throne.
In order to stabilize her position and her son to be crowned to the throne, Queen Dirissa has been using various means to frame Lilith's mother and son, and when she successfully pinned the charge of espionage on Lilith, Arthur also lost his biological mother.
Perhaps in Lord Wilson's mind, Lilith was nothing more than a tool to vent his desires, and Arthur was also a dispensable illegitimate child. So when he learned that Lilith was actually a spy sent by the Roland court, he did not hesitate to execute Lilith.
Arthur was only eight years old that year, and he would face a life-and-death escape, as Queen Dirissa had falsely accused him of being a bastard born to Lilith and a court guard, and not the biological son of Lord Wilson.
Cuckolding is something no man can endure, especially a powerful figure like Lord Wilson, and if it weren't for Arthur's nurse risking his life to take him out of the palace, he might just be a rotting skeleton in the palace dungeon.
Aslan remembered that Arthur had said that he would kill his own father, and at that time he knew that Arthur had an unbearable past, but he didn't expect that the other party was the illegitimate son of Lord Wilson.
Sensing the pity projected on him by everyone, Arthur forced out a smile and laughed at himself: "For so many years, in order to erase my shame, that Wilson guy did not hesitate to send his most elite killer group, but I became a strong man in the continuous escape of danger. A month ago, I assassinated Wilson after parting ways with you in the Mirror Realm, and those court chasers were not a threat to me, but I didn't expect that Ezed to secretly collude with the Pope. ā
"Ized...... The old cigarette butt handed Arthur a bottle of healing potion, pointed to his broken arm that was still bleeding, and continued: "You killed Lord Wilson, and his eldest son Ezed will definitely be crowned and ascended to the throne, which means that the Kingdom of Veronga has completely become a subordinate force of the Pope." ā
"Old Mr. Undead, your thoughts will soon be corrected. Arthur drank the healing potion, like the pain of ten thousand ants devouring his heart instantly eroded his body, in order to survive, he knelt on the ground and gritted his teeth to support it, when the gap in the broken arm was refilled by the new flesh and blood, he exhaled heavily, slowly got up and said: "They will find us soon, if you want to live, you can only hide in the mirror realm." ā
"No, Moira and the Bloody Maria have already recognized me, and if they inform the Pope of this, it will be difficult for you to gain a foothold in the human city-state. The old cigarette butt looked at Aslan and the others, and his already gloomy eyes flashed a murderous intent: "Moira is just the new patriarch of the Pope, although her attack methods are a little weird, but you have also advanced to become a low-level archmage, and at the same time, your thunder is still her nemesis, with some of your hole cards, it is still very possible to attack and kill Moira." ā
Hearing this, a trace of consternation appeared in Arthur's pupils, he didn't expect that someone would dare to murder the patriarch of the Pope, let alone that the young Aslan turned out to be a low-level archmage!
You must know that even the professors of the top magic academies can only advance to the rank of archmage after entering middle age, so when the old cigarette butt said Aslan's strength, Arthur's eyes flashed hope for the first time.
"Leave the big spider to me. Aldevin said solemnly.
"How about a fire-roasted spider?" Zoya suggested to ease the atmosphere.
"This is your battle, and it is all your will. The old cigarettebutt pointed to the foliage-obscured sky, where the Soul Eaters searched the woods for his traces.
Thinking that he and the others were likely to become the target of the Pope, Aslan was heartbroken and shouted softly: "They must not be allowed to leave alive!"
"Of course, it's time for the roles of prey and hunter to be reversed. The old cigarette butt escaped into the soul orb, and a sneer with murderous intent resounded in everyone's minds.
