Chapter 47: Scorpion, Why Are You Weeping?
"Shadow Fiends... These monsters shouldn't be a problem for you right now, but it's better to be careful," Lilia said unhurriedly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Whatever it is, it's just a good time to try the results of your training. Dolan snorted softly, the dagger in his hand faintly chilling. It can be seen that his fighting spirit is very high
The railing on the periphery of the cave slowly rose, and the sealing magic attached to the railing failed at the same time, and two points of blue light suddenly lit up in the originally dark cave, and then, a cloud of black gas wrapped in these two points of blue light, whistling like the wind rushed out of the cave, and attacked Alan and others in the center of the field, and in a blink of an eye, everyone was surrounded tightly, and the surroundings suddenly darkened, and the sound of ghosts crying wolves and howling kept coming, making everyone feel as if they were in hell.
"What is this......" Minos saw this, his legs were still a little weak, but fortunately, the staff was in his hand, and he didn't make a fool of himself.
"Minos!" Crete woke up Minos with a reminder, a milky white light rose into the air, illuminating the surroundings, and the shadow demon saw this holy light, as if he had seen an old enemy, a cloud of black smoke hit the ball of light, the milky white ball of light was hit by the flickering light and darkness, it will collapse at any time, Minos saw this, and released three or four holy light spells in a row, with the help of this faint light, Crete took the lead in starting a counterattack, he skillfully opened the magic book, and began to chant the sixth-level magic lava burst, which is a powerful fire magic, generally used for small-scale group damage, and now the body of the shadow demon surrounds them, and the power of this magic can just be displayed to the maximum。
The Shadow Demon obviously sensed Crete's attempt, and a cloud of black smoke attacked Crete like tentacles, Alan and Dolan naturally would not let the Shadow Demon succeed, one left and one right to protect Crete, and a sword and a sword blocked all the attacks for Crete, I have to say that the Shadow Fiend's attack power is indeed not large, it seems to be less than one-tenth of the monitor lizard king, and on the other hand, thanks to this month's high-intensity training, Alan and Dolan also have a good tacit understanding, although there are only two people, but they also defend tightly.
Crete's chanting finally ended, he raised his hands high above his head, and a huge fireball mixed with billowing lava gradually formed above his head, however, at the beginning, it was still a lot of pressure for Crete to cast this sixth-level magic, but he still did it, the blazing flame stimulated the nerves of the Shadow Demon, and the Shadow Demon quickly gathered his body to dodge, but before he could do it, Crete accurately hit the Shadow Fiend, and in a howl, the Shadow Fiend's body turned to ashes in the flames.
"That's it!" Dolan tossed the dagger in his hand and slapped Alan in the air. Laxa looked at Crete with satisfaction, and saw that he was not too excited, and Laxa thought that although this young man was not as mysterious as Alan, he was indeed a serious and stoic man, and if he had the opportunity to awaken to become a guardian, he should not be a mediocre character. Laksa looked down at the magic array in front of her, hesitating to release an even more powerful beast. After that, from top to bottom in the magic array, flashing gray and white, green, blue, yellow, purple and red six colors of light, these light clusters represent the combat power of the imprisoned demonic beasts, gray is the weakest, red is the strongest, the previous monitor lizard is gray, and the shadow demon they solved just now is white, now Alan They have no trouble solving it, Laxa stretched out a finger, hesitating whether to point green or blue, at this time, Alan also found the hesitation on Laxisha's face, and shouted loudly: "Laksha! Let's have a more challenging one!"
Laksha's heart moved, this was the first time in a long time that Eren had taken the initiative to speak to her, and her fingers trembled, and she moved to the row of yellow light clusters, and gently touched in the middle.
"Guys, next, your opponent is - Lost Tears, Medus!"
Hearing Laxia's words, everyone was surprised, this was the first opponent they had encountered, with a name, Lilia frowned slightly, this name, she seemed to be a little impressed.
In the distance, a humanoid figure gradually approached with a steady step. The surprise on Lilia's face grew.
The dark shadow gradually became clear, and Lilia gasped, "It's him!Medeus!King of the Crystal Scorpion Clan!"
"Scorpion?!, is that obviously ・・・・・?" Alan was about to ask, but after seeing the appearance of the person who came, he was suddenly speechless.
Lilia's surprise was palpable: " Before the Holy War, the crystal scorpion was the same as our Holy Spirit Elf Clan, all of which were contract creatures that assisted the human race against Cantlay, which was named the holy word, and then the dragon clan rose and forced these races to be loyal to the dragon clan, and the crystal holy scorpion clan began to divide into two factions from top to bottom since the scorpion king and the scorpion queen, the scorpion king Medus advocated to return to the dragon clan, because the dragon clan was too powerful, and the crystal scorpion could only do this if he wanted to preserve, while the scorpion queen Umenayi advocated helping humans, fighting against the dragon clan, and never surrendering, and finally, a war broke out within this race, and the strength was greatly damaged, and the dragon emperor saw that the use value of the crystal holy scorpion was not large, so he simply eliminated this race, the scorpion queen Liumena Ili died in battle, but the whereabouts of the scorpion king Medeus are unknown, the question is, how did he end up here?"
However, this explanation, the others present did not listen, their eyes and attention all fell on the body of the scorpion king in front of him, the crown made of crystal shone brightly against the blue light, the same transparent scorpion tail hung down from the back of his head, and at the end was a huge poisonous needle, which was sharp, and the scale armor composed of pieces of crystal was wrapped around his body, just right to protect his seemingly thin body, on his pale cheeks, a teardrop-shaped crystal fell in the corner of Medeus's eyes, setting off a pair of pale gray eyes even more melancholy, if it weren't for the poisonous needle reminding Alan and others at all times, there was a real powerful monster in front of him, I am afraid that they are about to take off their fighting posture and can't help but go up to comfort him.
Laksa looked at the back of Medus from afar and sighed secretly, Medus was not only powerful, but more importantly, he also had a fascinating charm. This man always has a depressed expression on his face, and there is a crystal hanging from the corner of his eye that I don't know if it is made of tears, it is always distressing to look at, although she does not know the past of this Medeus, but Laxa thinks that it must not be a happy thing.
"Human, are you going to challenge me?" The Scorpion King's voice was unusually magnetic, not to mention the women, even the hearts of the few men present trembled slightly.
"Offended, Your Excellency the Scorpion King・・・・・" Alan saluted respectfully, and then simply pulled out the long sword, and the light green ** pattern on the long sword and the armor lit up at the same time, it was the armor of the gods and the martial arts of the gods. Dolan also lined up the battle posture, he also wanted to use the armor of the gods and the martial arts of the gods, but he did not understand the operation principle of the Odal Divine Stone at all, after being blown into the sky twice in training, he announced that he would temporarily give up the use of the armor of the gods, Crete and Minos under the initial guidance of Allen, learned to use the weapons of the gods, but the equipment is still ordinary high-grade equipment, after all, the armor of the gods used for training, the power is still not as good as some high-grade equipment, not to mention that these armors of the gods are old.
"I don't want to do it today, I ask you, have you ever loved someone deeply?"
Everyone didn't expect that Medeus would say this, and he was stunned on the spot. The word love still seemed to be a distant thing for the young people present, except for Allen, of course.
Seeing that everyone didn't answer, Medeus simply sat cross-legged in the center of the arena, bowed his head and sighed, "Hasn't anyone ever loved it?
"I have," Alan hesitated for a moment, clearing his throat to break the silence in the field, "I've always loved her, Your Excellency, what do you want to say?"
"Huh?" the Scorpion King's pale gray eyes flashed with a hint of brilliance, "Then tell me, how to love someone?"
"Love・・・・・ I think... It should be..." Alan pondered for a moment, then continued, "Keep her firmly in your heart and be with her forever." ”
The Scorpion King shook his head, "Go on"
"Love, is companionship, single-minded care and love, and unswerving loyalty?"
The Scorpion King gently patted the dust from his legs, stood up, and suddenly a tear fell from the corner of his eye, "Young knight, I have always thought so thousands of years ago, but ・・・・・ she told me, this is wrong!" As he spoke, the crystal scale armor of Medus suddenly flashed with a faint gray light, and Laxa saw this, and hurriedly shouted: "Eren be careful!"
As soon as the words fell, a pale gray light easily pierced the armor of the god and pierced into Allen's body, and the armor of the god with amazing defensive power was like paper paste in front of Medeus.
There was no pain, no blood, and Alan was shocked to find that his body was completely unconscious, even if it was an advanced paralysis technique, it was impossible to achieve this effect, as if all the nerves were instantly withdrawn.
"Medeus, mercy to your men!" Laxa in the stands shouted nervously, and was about to rush down the stands, when suddenly her forehead was cold, and the whole person fell to the ground.
Watching the last trump card being solved by the Scorpion King in front of him quietly, Allen and the others suddenly understood that the more the enemy seemed to be not dangerous, the more dangerous it was.
Crete did not hesitate to cast three third-level magic frozen forks in a row, but they were all immune to the Scorpion King!
Seeing that the timing was not good, Dolan immediately entered a stealth posture, quietly went around the back of Medus, and took advantage of the Cretan attack to see the opportunity and cut it with one slash.
Probably thinking about something, Medeus didn't notice it, Dolan hit with a blow, but the dagger did not penetrate the scale armor covering Medeus's neck, this blow instead exposed Dolan's own whereabouts, Medus's scorpion tail volleyed in the air, pumping Dolan far away, and then the gray light of the scale armor flashed again, and several gray rays were inserted into Dolan's body, Dolan fell to the ground heavily, and then did not move. Then he walked towards Crete
"Medeus! stop! I know!" Alan was anxious, thinking of the past of the Scorpion King that Lilia had just said, and he had a flash of inspiration, and said loudly: "To love someone is to make yourself stronger, to firmly control your destiny in your own hands! Present the best version of yourself in front of her! Otherwise, it is irresponsible! It is unsound!"
Hearing this, Meduston stopped and said in a tone full of suspicion, "Am I not strong enough? As the scorpion king of the crystal scorpion clan, my strength is the strongest!"
"Because you have succumbed to the Dragon Emperor!" Crete said suddenly, seeing that things had taken a turn for the better.
"You can't imagine the strength of the Dragon Emperor! Human! Umenayi's approach will only lead to the destruction of the Scorpion Clan! In order to let her survive and let the whole clan survive, what's wrong! Why did Umenayi refuse to agree to my approach even to death, she said that she didn't love me anymore, and she wouldn't go with me when she died!" The Scorpion King's face was already full of tears, and the scales and armor all over his body were flickering and dark, and it could be seen that his mood was very unstable at the moment.
Alan secretly pinched a handful of sweat for Crete, and the thoughts in his mind spun rapidly, "Medus, I think, at that time, what Umenayi wanted most was that you accompany him to fight to the end..."
Meduston was stunned.
Crete continued, "You have been thinking about it for so long, you are thinking about what you are doing right, the so-called righteousness, the so-called continuation of the race, but in the eyes of Umenayi, everything is not as good as the glory of the scorpion clan, and none of them can compare to you, the scorpion king, she even does not hesitate to be your enemy, hoping that you will wake up, but you made a decision at the last moment that made her extremely disappointed, Umenayi really loves you, and you have failed her!
Minos on the side was already stunned, he never thought that Crete would actually talk much more than he did
Crete's words were like a sword, straight into the sore spot of Medeus, and when he heard the end, Medeus, who was in tears, finally couldn't hold back the pain in his heart anymore, and burst out, and one after another light gray energy fluctuations spread out from his body, "Shut up!"
However, Crete did not intend to stop there: "You hide in this dusty nameless arena all day long, thinking about these meaningless questions alone, you have never thought that your people were actually wiped out by the dragon clan, and Umenayi also died because of the Dragon Emperor! You coward even thought about revenge! You only dare to act in the ground against people who have no power to resist! I am sorry for your dead people, I am sorry for the dead Umenayi! You are not worthy of being king!"
"Don't say it!" Streams of pale gray energy emanated from Medeus's body, and around his clenched fist, the crystal scale armor had begun to crack. It could be seen that he was on the verge of anger.
"Killing us won't change the fact that you're a coward, and besides, there's no point in what you're doing now, Umenayi is dead, the Crystal Scorpion Clan no longer exists, you don't even have the need to exist, forget it, you can kill us and give yourself a little bit of vanity as a king!" Crete seemed to be deliberately looking for death, adding fuel to the fire.
Alan and the others originally thought that as soon as these words came out, what awaited them was death, but what they didn't expect was that the gray energy gradually dissipated.
The Scorpion King was silent, released his clenched fist, and with a wave of his hand, the gray light that had been submerged in the bodies of Alan, Laksha, and Dolan suddenly floated out, and returned to Medeus's body the same way. As soon as the gray light withdrew, Laxa and Dolan woke up and hurried to the center of the field, and Alan suddenly felt that his body was back to normal, and all his senses were intact. But compared to this, Crete's words just now touched him equally deeply.
All along, he wanted to find Christine after awakening, and then stay with her, the life of the guardian is endless, and he thought that he would always be with the people he loved.
However he was wrong, and in this matter Crete was much more mature than he was. Alan forgot that there is a mortal threat - the Dragon Emperor, becoming a guardian means fighting the dragon head-on, the guardian has eternal life, but it does not mean that he is immortal, in front of the Dragon Emperor, any guardian is vulnerable, Alan suddenly thought, even if he awakens and becomes a guardian, but if the strength is too weak, in the future battle, not only will it not help Christine, but it will become a burden to her, Alan does not want to disappoint Christine.
Thinking of this, Alan was not only ashamed of his helplessness just now, although Medus was strong, he was not invincible. Eren clenched the long sword in his hand again, mobilized the power of the Odal Divine Stone, and calmed down and waited.
A crystal clear tear slipped down Medeus's cheek.
"Hey, human, do you say, does Umenayi really love me?" Medeus's voice was desolate with a hint of anticipation.
Cretter said loudly: "There is no doubt about it"
"Then I'm satisfied, it's been so long・・・・・・・ I'm sorry, dear Umenayi. For the first time, something called joy appeared in Medeus's voice, which made the already magnetic voice even more seductive, and for a moment, everyone present was in a trance.
Laksha, who had the power of seduction, was not bewitched by the voice, "Medeus? no!" Laksha's words woke everyone up.
A thin crystal piece, held between two slender fingers, gently slashed across the throat.
A touch of red quietly bloomed・・・・・・
