[God of War] Section 4 Koyales
If it weren't for the nightmare that awakened her dusty memories a few days ago, Yalais might still have the fight for the honor of the kingdom in her mind. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 And now, there is only one purpose left for her fight - revenge.
Three days have passed since the explosion that shook the island.
In the past three days, Koyales and the three knights of the Knights of the Holy Light led the remaining more than a thousand warriors of Oden, following the route designated by the mysterious person they had received earlier, bypassing many enemy camps and getting closer and closer to the center of Miller. Inevitably, they fought the enemy in one of the camps.
Ignored and abandoned by the state, the warriors of Miller did not know what had happened to the kingdom, they did not know that the king they had sworn allegiance to was just a puppet, they did not know that many of the warriors who had sworn with them had become sacrifices to summon demons, and that the remains had been reduced to ashes along with the castle, that the Mirler was actually in control of the kingdom's archmage, and that he was hatching a larger conspiracy... ・・They were simply carrying out the order to hold the post given a few years earlier, and the sudden appearance of the Oden forces became the first enemies they had encountered in a few years. But they don't know that this will become the last enemy they will face in their lives.
Faced with a battle that had not been seen for a long time, but Yalais was red-eyed, and without the slightest hesitation, brandished the silver sword given by the king, and killed more than half of the enemies with the strength of one person. In her eyes, the faces of the enemies seemed to have changed into the appearance of the man named "Regulus" in the dream, which stimulated her desire to kill enemies, because she was enjoying the pleasure of revenge in advance.
Oden's warriors were more or less aware of the Chief's anomaly, and they felt that the man in front of them seemed to be even colder than a few days ago, when the gloomy aura that emanated from her from time to time made one suspect that she was simply from another world—a world full of dead souls.
For Larry, who had been taught by her to be in love with the chief, the change in Keles also gave him a big blow. When he happened to look at Kyales a few days ago, the killing intent in her eyes made him feel the horror of death more terrible than fighting monsters, as if he would be killed by her at any moment.
Clark of the Order didn't pay any attention to the changes in Kyales, as he was busy digesting the shocking truth he had learned from the contact he had received from the Commander the day before. The vanished army of 10,000 people, the demon god defeated by the new recruits, the talking sword, and the reincarnated boy of the god of war, these strange things that ordinary people would never encounter once in their lives happened so much in a few days, and the information in them was enough for him to ponder for a while. Compared to the side where Marshall went, what happened to his side was too monotonous, and perhaps the only useful information was to learn about the existence and purpose of the son of the god Hades...... At the mention of "Son of God", Clark couldn't help but recall what happened to them during their trip to the Knights' Sanctuary two years ago.
Two years ago, in order to seek more profound power, the Knights of the Holy Light embarked on a journey to search for the Sanctuary with the tacit consent of the Church, and under the leadership of the head Danke, the four strongest elites of the Knights, Danke, York, Marshall, and Clark. At first, they did not believe in the reality of the existence of the Sanctuary, and although they belonged to the Church that believed in the goddess of love and peace, most of them did not have the faith of the Church people in private, they were just tools of the Church. Legend has it that both the Sanctuary and Alcatraz are located in the vastness of the psychedelia, but unlike Alcatraz, which attracts all the ships that pass by, the Sanctuary excludes anything that tries to approach it, making it completely inaccessible.
For ordinary people who only know the legend that the Sanctuary is located in the Psychedelic Ocean, it is undoubtedly a needle in a haystack to find the location of the Sanctuary on the largest sea in the world, but the head of the group, Dan Ke, suddenly has the direction to find. Danko listed all the locations he had collected about the rumors of the Sanctuary on the map, narrowed it down through calculations, and then came up with the hypothesis that the Sanctuary was not on the sea, so the knights explored the sky on the dragon with the help of dragon mastery, and finally found the location of the Sanctuary. Clark was incredulous at Danco's astonishing calculations and whimsical inferences, as he didn't know that what happened to Danco had changed the way he saw things.
The Knights' trip to the Sanctuary was not difficult, but it was not a smooth one, as they were inexplicably hindered many times along the way. The first time was when the Church had just approved their plan to visit the Sanctuary, but a high-ranking member of the Church suddenly tried to dissuade them from abandoning the mission before they left, and when asked afterwards, he said that he did not remember having that conversation, and the second time was when the Knights arrived at the southernmost point of the continent of Kaos, where Vasilian was located, and the coastal city of Lille, which borders the Psychedelic Ocean to the south The citizens who had been hospitably welcoming them one second were about to drive them out of the city the next second, preventing them from defiling the sacred and inviolable ocean for them, and the third time was when they discovered the location of the Sanctuary and were about to set up a dragon to go up, when the knights suddenly hallucinated at this moment, they found that they had found not the Sanctuary, but Alcatraz Island, their vision was full of bloody red, and a large number of demons were waiting for their arrival with their bloody mouths wide open in front of them.
"Damn! How about Alcatraz!, we've got to turn around!" York panicked.
"Captain, give up the mission! we're no match for those demons!" Clark said to Danko.
"Is this how the gods of the Sanctuary welcome our visit?" Dan Ke ignored the two of them's dissuasion, looked up at the spherical membrane-like barrier in mid-air and smiled, "Alcatraz Island is like this, let's go up!" Dan Ke finished speaking, and the illusion vanished, and the barrier opened a passage for them to pass through.
"As much as I hate humans, I have to say that you have some skills!" a voice resounded through the sky.
When the knights arrived at the Sanctuary (which was actually just the entrance to the Sanctuary), everything in front of them shattered their previous perceptions, and when the humanoid thing wrapped in fire appeared in front of them, they were even more frightened - except maybe Dank.
"I am Valken, the god of fire and craft, and I know that you have come here in search of greater power, and that the Sanctuary also needs an earthly messenger for some things. ”
"Is it your work to obstruct our operations so many times?" Marshall shouted to him.
"Don't be rude!" Danco scolded.
"The obstacles you have suffered before have not all been done by us, but that some earthly ant has done the same thing as we have tested you. ”
"Is the test, the hallucinations that gave us Alcatraz before?" asked Clarke.
"You humans are so crooked, I didn't expect you to see through it so quickly!" said Valken impatiently.
Danko frowned, but remained silent.
"I said, brother, we're on fire, we can go in!" said Marshall, impatiently.
"Watch your words! The reason I'm here is to tell you that you can't go any further, a bunch of scum who don't have the slightest ability to make a big deal out here, you are really inferior to the elves, I really don't know why the god of war chose to help humans back then!"
"Don't have the ability, you'll only know until you've tried!" Marshall said, wielding his sword in one hand and urging the spell in the other.
"Don't be impulsive! Horse—" Before Clark could finish his sentence, he saw that Marshall had been trampled under the feet of the god.
Marshall struggled desperately on the ground, but he couldn't move a bit, he was trampled by the guy who was wrapped in flames all over his body, but he didn't feel the slightest heat on his body, and there was no trace of burning on his back, remembering that when he first saw him before, everything around him would be burned, and now the situation seems to be that the guy intends to let him go, thinking of this Marshall is even more unwilling, but there is nothing he can do.
Valken continued to step on Marshall and said to the Knights: "I will naturally give you the 'strength' you need, but we also need you to do something. ”
"Please let the gods know. Dan Ke said respectfully.
So Valcken, the god of fire and craft, told them the origin, selection, and awakening of the son of the gods, as well as the characteristics and purpose of the son of the gods, which made the people who didn't even believe in the legends of the gods before seem to have their worldview turned upside down, and they saw and heard more in a short period of time than ordinary people could have encountered in several lifetimes.
"So our task is to find these 'sons of God' who have come into the world and assist them in their mission," Danko concluded.
"Yes, you should feel honored, this is the first time in several epochs that the Sanctuary has allowed mortals to participate in such a major event, and you are also the first outsider to visit the Sanctuary. Walken said, "Don't try to find the Sanctuary again, the location of the Sanctuary is always changing, and we did it on our own to find it this time, don't think that you have the ability to tame dragons and be complacent!
"You guy......" Marshall still refused to admit defeat, but fortunately York and Clark restrained him in time.
"Wait, what about the 'power' you're going to give us?" asked York.
"You already know, don't you?" said Valken and vanished, and the Sanctuary instantly repelled them all, and by the time they realized it, they found themselves hovering over the sea on the dragon.
"How...... What he meant by "we already know" ......," Clark wondered.
"Close your eyes and think about the spells and skills you have. Danko said.
At Danko's instructions, the crowd closed their eyes and thought about it, and to their surprise, they found that many spells that they had never learned before appeared, and they knew very well how to use them, as if they had been mastering them for years. Danko frowned at the feeling again, because the last time he had such an experience was a nightmare he would never want to mention but could never forget.
Right now.
"Guide the Son of God...... That son of the god Hades doesn't need our intervention anymore, and now that even the gods have descended to earth, is there still any way for us to intervene?" Clarke thought to himself.
In the evening, Oden and his party finally arrived at the end of their trip, a town called Erelasin in the center of Miller. It was once a major commercial and trading town in Miller, with major transportation links to ports and castles, but since the arrival of a new king fifteen years ago, Arelasin's pivotal role has declined. Instead of attaching the same importance to communication with the outside world as his predecessors, the new king began to ignore the kingdom's economy and stop trading with other countries in the open sea. His "seclusion" caused Miller's national power to plummet economically, but the king put a lot of effort into the study of spells and the training of warriors, but without financial support, his progress can be said to be very slow. It was known that the king was now only able to listen to the archmage, and the ministers who had opposed the king had suddenly disappeared, while the number of mages around him was increasing, and people began to suspect that the mages had taken control of the government, and those who had been ministers had been poisoned by them. Ten years ago, when the king announced the alliance with Vasilian, the people of Arelasin thought that the status and role of their city would take a turn for the better, but what they did not expect was that the king had only strengthened the exchange of magic knowledge with the allies, and the economic exchanges did not improve at all. And after five years of breaking with the ally Vasilian, the prosperity of Arelasin was gone. The people who used to do business here have left this sad place, and all that remains are people who have nowhere to go and some old and weak women and children. After the explosion three days ago, the castle that symbolized the supreme power of the kingdom was seen up close, and after witnessing the fall of the kingdom, the only remaining people fled the town, leaving only the dead leaves, the ruins and the memories of the once prosperous Arelasin.
But when Jalais stepped into the town with the warriors, she didn't see the 10,000 reinforcements mentioned by the mysterious man, and everything here didn't look like it was populated. Her primary concern at the moment was not the arrival of reinforcements, but the person she would meet at the end of her journey, the man who had ruined her life.
The night before, Kyales had dreamed again, and she had dreamed of the aftermath of the murder of her family by the cruel killer, and learned why the mother and daughter had survived under his butcher's knife, and the reason why the killer wanted to kill her - because of her background and mission.
"Why...... Why do you treat our family so cruelly......" said Koyales's mother weakly to the cruel butcher.
"Because this girl is the son of a god chosen by Bella, the goddess of love and peace, and her presence is an obstacle to the god of war's intervention in the world! Marrus, who worships war and violence, will not tolerate the interference of peace, so she must die!" the man said and was about to kill the baby girl in his arms, but then the baby girl seemed to sense that the person holding her was not a good person, and began to cry. Her cry seemed to contain some mysterious power, and the killer suddenly knelt on the ground with his hood on, shaking his head incessantly as if in great pain. He had no choice but to put down the baby girl and cover his head tightly with his hands, but he still couldn't stop the piercing pain.
"Ahh?!!!!h With nothing to do, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and fled like a gust of wind.
"Koyales! Koyales!" the blind woman groped for a while on the ground and finally touched her child, and after making sure that the child was still alive, she wrapped the child tightly in her arms, "I will never let anything happen to you again...... Absolutely ......"
When Kyales awoke from her dream, she had another name on her revenge list - Marrus, the god of war. When she learned from her dream that she was the Son of God, she was not too surprised, and she did not mention it to Clark of the Knights. She was unexpectedly calm, and her mind was suddenly much clearer. She suddenly found herself in a multitude of abilities, she was able to conjure spells she had never heard of before, she was able to wrap her weapons with unusual powers, she could jump higher and run faster than before, she could feel the breath of people......
"Is this what Clark calls 'Awakening'?" said to herself, believing she had enough power to kill the man. At this time, she did not know that she had misinterpreted the true meaning of "awakening", and she mistakenly regarded the goal of "revenge" she had set since that dream as her only mission as a son of God, and the so-called dream that awakened her memory became the fuse of all subsequent events.
Koyales looked around the center of town and found no trace. At this time, her newly "awakened" ability to perceive breath told him that a group of more than a hundred people was approaching here, and it would be less than a few minutes before reaching the center of her town.
"Who is it? friend or foe?" said Koales, frowning.
Behind her, Clark also sensed the approaching people, and he had the secret art of sensing and communicating with each other, so he immediately judged the signals of multiple knight comrades in the approaching group. "It's all right, it's the commander, they're the commanders!, the two sides of the Allied forces are finally going to meet!" Clark said to Koyales with a beaming face.
It didn't take long for seven knights of the Order to appear in the eyes of the people of Oden with the remaining 96 warriors of Vasilian's vanguard. Clark saw that Roy was missing from the Knights' comrades, and was about to go to the head of the regiment to ask about the situation, and Dan only smiled bitterly when he saw Clark and the Allied soldiers, after all, the strength of the army had increased significantly, who would have thought that the 20,000 troops that had been significantly suppressed by Oden when they set out compared to Olden's 3,000 elite soldiers would be the only ones left?
When the long blue hair of Kyalese met Regulus's eyes, the dream that had haunted him for days, the story of the god of war and Flody told by the soul of the sword, the figure that haunted him resurfaced. Is that the person in his dream who asked him to find her, who said he was waiting for him? Is that the true love that his god of war found in his previous life, the reincarnation of a good human named Flody? Is that the only destination he has been looking for in his life? Regulus involuntarily walked towards her, believing that he would find the answers to the rest of his questions in her.
When Regulus's face and the black scar on his right arm came into Khyales's eyes, the figure of the brutal killer who killed her father and her mother in her dreams, the man who manipulated Crewe to kill him by himself, the life of the warriors to summon demons, the face under the hood of the man who had ruined his life all came into view. That is the culprit who killed his father and Crewe, that is the messenger of the god of war who tries to provoke war and eliminate peace, that is his mission as the son of God, the goal of revenge. She restrained her impassing emotions and walked towards him with a determined stride, trusting her own judgment, but still needed one final confirmation.
"Is that you!?" said Kyales, suppressing her anger and a hint of doubt.
"Is that you?!" Regulus asked, controlling his emotions and in a tone of disbelief.
Both of them said the same thing at the same time, but they both had completely different meanings, and they both thought that the other was the same as themselves.
"Your name...... Tell me your name!" Rygulus asked Regulus with all the spells and abilities she could use in her hand, the hand that Jareth had clenched in her grip on the silver sword the king had given her, and she tried her best to restrain her emotions.
Regulus didn't notice anything unusual about the other party, nor did he notice the unusual atmosphere. He was full of joy that the girl in front of him was the one who was waiting for him to appear in his dream, that the other party already knew everything, that his life was about to usher in the final answer, so he said without hesitation the answer he had been eagerly saying: "I am Regulus!
"Lord War, what are you going to do?" said Matt behind Regulus, out of place.
The three nouns "Regulus, Marrus, God of War!" detonated all the emotions that Koyales had been suppressing, it turned out that all the beings on her revenge list were just the same person, and her mission was about to be accomplished.
In an instant, Regulus saw the girl he was looking for stabbing the silver sword in her hand towards him, he was not prepared, but the sword in his hand took action automatically, radiating light and pulling his arm to block the blow, instantly sending her silver sword flying out. But in the next moment Regulus heard the sound of something tearing, and then the pain of disillusionment and confusion followed, and he saw a sharp blade of ice emerge from her palm, piercing his chest. Blood dripped cruelly down the pure white transparent blade, staining the snow on the ground.
"Why ......" Regulus collapsed weakly, he never thought he would die at this moment, leaving more doubts when he thought the final mystery was about to be revealed.
"Father, Crewe, I have finally avenged you!" But the feeling that Yalais had been holding in her heart disappeared, perhaps the revenge had taken her to relief.
"Lord God of War! Lord God of War!" the Knights rushed forward, and they surrounded Regulus, who was lying in a pool of blood, and did not let anyone approach. Danco crouched down to inspect Regulus' injuries with a panicked expression, something that no one had expected to happen suddenly. Clark got Khaales under control just in time, and he grabbed her wrist tightly to prevent her from doing anything to the detriment of both parties. He believed that there must be some misunderstanding in this.
"No...... He didn't have a heartbeat anymore......" Danko said heavily.
"How could it be...... Isn't that woman the leader of the allies? is she an enemy?" said Matt in a panic.
"Look what you've done! what your purpose is!" Clarke yelled at Kyales.
"I'm just doing my job. But Yales's words were as cold as ever, and a chill emanated from her palms, easily breaking free from Clark's control.
"Well done! worthy of the woman I fancied!" With a few slow applause, a figure walked out of the alley next to him, his whole body covered in purple-black mist, but his face and voice would never be forgotten by Yales.
"Prince Chloe?!!" But Yalais was stunned, since she heard the message about the prince from the mouth of the son of the god named Milos that day, she had already decided that Prince Chloe was no longer alive, but the person in front of her was undoubtedly Prince Chloe, and his aura and feeling were very different from before. "Aren't you already ...... How did you end up here......"
"Because I am the son of God!" ...... Prince Chloe laughed strangely.
"Brother, Brother Regulus!" At the same time, another voice came from the other side, and a blonde girl who suddenly appeared rushed towards Regulus, who was surrounded by the Knights.
"Whoever, don't come close!" Marshall stopped the girl who rushed towards her.
"Let me pass! I'm his sister! I'll save him......" Alyssa's eyes were gone, and she could see more clearly than ever.
