Chapter 178: Swallowing Light (3)

Doso, the Glutton, was able to devour almost everything that could be named, and even the spread of light, which existed only as a concept, was devoured without misfortune. Generally speaking, even if it is a special skill hidden in a treasure, it is a feasible fact that if you can touch it, you can plunder it from it.

But it has no effect on Hantuo. Previously, he took advantage of the fact that Han Tuo had not yet discovered it, and quietly touched the sword body of Han Tuo's [Guan Baihong] to the extent that he was not discovered, but found that the ability he was proud of had no effect at all.

It's not an unlikely thing either. Amazingly, gluttony itself accepted this fact with a little surprise.

If you are an existence of the same level as yourself, even if your ability does not work, it is not so much of a fuss. Perhaps, "The power of the Demon King does not work for the existence of the same Demon King", this sentence needs to be firmly remembered, and it may be worth experimenting with later.

To be honest, the appearance of the two of them here was also something he didn't expect, and he was startled when the two of them stood in the corridor and fought. There should not have been personnel in the original plan, after all, all the guard troops had been transferred, otherwise in normal times, there would be a strong warrior guarding only a short distance. Such warriors have made a pact with the royal palace to maintain their souls, and if such a contract is violated, they will be killed on the spot.

Where there is light, there is darkness. Such a magic contract is too cruel for the personality, so the laws of the kingdom strictly prohibit it, but on the other hand, it uses such cruel magic to maintain the stability of the entire order. It cannot be said that it is ironic, and the ultimate purpose of this initiative is only to maintain this stable state.

I don't have much time left.

As they watched the battle between the two men silently, the dark crystals could be heard clearly through the dark crystal, and the looming character conversation was cacophonily extinguished by the chaotic noise.

Even the Wind Demon General was defeated like this, so you can imagine how bad the situation outside is. The painstaking arrangements accumulated over the years were exhausted overnight, making gluttony feel indescribably heartbroken, but it was also unimaginable.

There are simply too many Warcraft. Even if the entire royal capital was mobilized to suppress it, it would only be able to stabilize the situation, and it would take a long and considerable period of time to completely eliminate the demonic beast herd, which was enough to plunge the entire royal capital into sleepless nights.

But after all, time is not endless. The more precisely you grasp this time, the better.

So the gluttony himself decided to take action himself, wanting to solve the two of them immediately on the spot.

Not only is it deprived of the propagation of light, on which vision depends, but even the vibration of objects on which hearing depends is swallowed up. This is why gluttony's ability can't be applied to Han Tuo himself, but it will still affect him.

After sight, even hearing is finally lost. However, until the enemy was close to his side to the point where he was almost touching his face, Han Tuo finally suppressed the fear in his heart, stabilized his body in the state of retreating, and turned awe-inspiring towards his side.

Exactly hit something.

It's as if it's slashing straight at some thermal bomb with a pressure sensor.

The ferocious heat wave almost knocked him to the ground, and out of instinctive reaction, Han Tuo quickly crouched down. The long whip of flame swept over the top of Han Tuo's head, slightly scorching some broken hair in front of Han Tuo's forehead, and Han Tuo, who felt the heat, decisively swung his sword and cut off his bangs, revealing a smooth forehead.

He quickly held the ground with his hands and swung his sword flat with his center of gravity lowered.

But there was nothing in that place. The enemy who was still standing by his side was no longer there. If the visual and hearing sense was still normal, Han Tuo would not have done such a waste of physical strength. But now I can only laugh, and I have fallen into a completely passive defensive state.

Gluttony's "Devouring" ontology skill is certainly a powerful killer feature, but Gluttony itself has decided not to use it anymore. The opponent in front of him is not a mediocre person, after all, he is also a strong warrior who once defeated the demon king Reddell. However, it seems that he has not yet seen what his ability is, which is an extremely powerful advantage for himself.

In the fog, and in terms of full knowledge of intelligence, although the strength of the enemy is not weakened even slightly by his own subjective thoughts. But for people in the middle of the war, the mentality can be said to be a great change. Just like an explorer exploring an unknown path, if you don't know what lies ahead, you may turn around and go back even if the end is just a step away.

At the end of the day, if there is a clear goal, humanity will be able to move forward better. Struggling on the unknown road is the most difficult and great act worth singing about.

But it doesn't matter, even if you don't use "Devouring", you still have the same level of combat power on your body.

"Abilities" taken from others. It's like gluttony and greed, whatever it can catch, it will devour it and turn it into a part of its own power.

The fire whip that he wielded just now is the ability to capture the Noble Phantasm [Ash] of the Twelfth Knight of the Round Table who was completely liberated on the battlefield, and the "teleportation" that suddenly appeared behind Rena and was taken from the previous Demon King by instantly avoiding Hantuo's slash.

The ability to make people unguardable.

I can't use the boy's ontology ability, but I can still do it if I devour you. He thought so. The disadvantage of devouring is that it can only be used on things that are touched with the body, but when used with teleportation, it can be said to be invincible. That's how he showed up on the battlefield even at the risk of being discovered, recovering Reddell's body.

This time, it was going to devour her life directly. With this thought, he stretched out his claws to the neck of the girl in front of him. Just now, her trembling and frightened expression did see that the fear of the unknown could turn an originally strong warrior into a timid coward. In the eyes of gluttony, Rena can be said to be half of the threat.

looks down on the girl too much, so gluttony doesn't even use this side of "hearing deprivation" on her. The degree to which the devouring ability is used, gluttony itself can also be easily done.

He will pay the price for his frivolity.

However, in the next moment, his heart was cold. In a flash, the ability to use it has flashed a few meters away.

With Rena as the center, large swaths of sharp ice crystals rose from beneath the ground, exceeding the height of adults in an instant. The large and small pieces of ice that were scattered all over the scene because of the previous battle were immediately cut in half because of the rising power of the ice chips.

Such ice crystals brushed by a fraction of a second before the tip of his gluttonous nose, and he could be said to be unscathed because he reacted in time. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was a puzzled glint in his eyes.

Fang Cai was still in a soft and weak state of a sick cat, how could he become a fierce tiger who chose people and loved people in an instant?! The sudden change in the girl's momentum made the gluttony itself puzzled, even he didn't dare to easily withstand the most fiery and powerful edge that the girl suddenly burst out, and chose to retreat and dodge.

"Is that you?!" Rena's voice sounded like it was about to roar, as if the boiling lava was erupting violently in the crater, "Is that you?!, the guy who killed Uncle Alazen?!"

Alazen Condorf. May the reason why the name of the Twelfth Knight, the Knight, should be said to be "original", is because he had died heroically in this terrible war between man and demon.

Among the twelve knights of the round table, if you ask who Rena is close to, there are only two of them. One is the first knight Horst, who has always been his combat mentor, and this Condorf. Although he may have surpassed him in the competition of strength now, the meaning is not here.

It was the guardian of his entire childhood, and he could be called an enlightenment teacher.

Because it wasn't a dangerous person approaching her for other purposes, Rena's completely liberated state of his [Ashes] was all too familiar.

She knew it the moment the heat wave hit.

It was this unknown enemy who killed Alazen on the battlefield and seized his powers.

That's why she's so angry. This fiery emotion had completely overwhelmed the fear, giving Rena considerable mental strength. This mental strength sustains her body and gives her the courage to fight back against unknown enemies.

~~~

Alazen has always been portrayed as a loving elder. Yes, he had been in the thick of what had happened to him, and Rena knew that. When a person reaches middle age, the village where he lives is invaded by the horde of demonic beasts, and he loses all his family members, which is really a situation that will break the will of most people.

But like a phoenix reborn from the ashes, after studying hard in middle age and tossing and turning around without a fixed place, he miraculously gained great strength near the next year, and became a member of the "Knights of the Round Table" representing the highest combat power of the kingdom.

If an ordinary person encounters this kind of thing, it will probably be very difficult to even cheer up, let alone work hard. Alazen's diligence and courage are enough to serve as a model for anyone to learn from, and even Rena herself respects him very much.

And he accompanied Rena throughout a large period of her childhood as a guard, teaching herself a lot of knowledge that she couldn't learn in textbooks, and he was an important teacher for her life enlightenment.

I especially remember that sunset afternoon, Rena, who was still a child, sat boredly on the steps of the palace and swung her legs back and forth, and next to her stood a serious and upright, but with a slightly heartache expression on her face.

This is just a small fragment of many daily life, originally a bit of a painful memory in my own words, but because of being with Allahin, it has become the most profound apocalypse in memory.

Because he wanted to enter the study where the king's grandfather Hammerey was, he was blocked by the soldiers guarding in front of the gatehouse. Even Princess Rena is just a child, and she has not yet shown her amazing talent for magic, and in the eyes of many adults, she is still a "naughty little devil who can't help anything".

In the study, a series of intense measures are in full swing throughout the high-level civilian system, and it is a war that almost races against time, and the heralds who are running back and forth are constantly running back and forth here. Knowing how important this was, the soldiers who were absolutely loyal to the king took the risk to stop her, even though she was the princess.

Although the little girl was very angry, she knew in her heart that this was the right decision, so the kind girl did not embarrass too much, and simply turned away, and did not hold her responsible for her disrespect afterwards.

Rena was quite lively when she was a child, and it is not surprising that her small figure scurried back and forth like a rabbit in the palace, giving adults such an impression.

However, such a lively little girl like a rabbit sat quietly on the steps and watched. Although he didn't say a word, he couldn't really hide his inner thoughts at a young age, and if it weren't for the huge psychological blow, it wouldn't have made the once lively and active little child become so quiet and elegant.

Despite all her efforts to pretend that nothing had happened, tears rolled in little Rena's eyes, and she needed to purse her mouth tightly to keep herself from crying.

It hurts to see that even Allah has watched from the sidelines.

"Mom, grandpa, they...... Always busy. I've been busy...... Didn't even have time to turn their heads to look at me. Rena, who was all mouthful, inevitably complained in the end, "Maybe they have forgotten what I look like." ”

"There is absolutely no such thing, Your Highness. Ala, who was standing behind him, said, "Your Majesty, although they are like this, there is no doubt that they all love you." ”

"Anyone can say something beautiful, but I don't know if it's true. ”

"Because that's His Royal Highness's family, as a grandfather and mother, there is no need for a reason to love his juniors. Then Allah Zeng smiled slyly, showing an expression that knew everything well, "Although Your Highness said such things, Your Highness himself knows very well, doesn't he? ”

Rena pursed her mouth, but she was still silent, in fact, her slightly blushing face had already explained her true mood at the moment. It's a shyness that someone has bluntly exposed.

It was a staircase in front of the study, and Rena sat in a small remote position with the degree of not bothering the heralds, waiting pitifully and stubbornly for something.

It was a clover that she stumbled upon during the afternoon while playing with the lucky flowers, and Rena wanted to dedicate it to her grandfather and mother, who were always busy.

This is actually a kind child who is sensible to the point of heartache.

So even though she was refused, Rena planned to wait for her grandfather to finish their business. In her small and immature mind, she didn't know much about the value of jewelry, and only the rare and precious flowers and plants she learned from books were extremely precious.

In fact, it is very clear that my mother and grandfather love her, and Rena also likes them to the same extent.

"That's right, Your Highness. This doesn't need to be disguised or disguised, it's something that can be said in a dignified manner, no matter where it is. A sad glint flashed in Alazeng's eyes, and he continued, "There are many things that you will regret only after you lose them, so you must grasp them well now that you still have them. ”

"No matter how late it is, I will always be with Your Highness. ”

“...... Hmmm!"

It was late at night, when Grandpa and Mother saw their surprise smile when they came out from work, and the slightly sad but kind smile that Allah had looked at her, formed a very important part of Rena's memory. (To be continued.) )
