Chapter 173: The Dollmaster
Diana looked at the dagger on her chest in a daze, her face still confused, and she subconsciously thought that she was hallucinating. [For more exciting novels, please visit]
Kiki is a playmate who grew up with her, and although the two are nominally master and servant, their relationship is actually not much different from that of real sisters.
Kiki's father was a famous swordsman of the generation of the current head of the family, Michelo, but he also died early because he was famous. Before her father died, she begged Michelo not to let her daughter learn swordsmanship, so Michelo asked her to stay with Diana and work as a valet. Diana was trained by the family because of her outstanding talent, and her status naturally rose, and her voice in the castle was almost equal to that of the chief steward.
Although Kiki has also learned some skills in these years, after all, she has not received the real kendo inheritance, and her strength has only barely reached the bronze rank, and this kind of strength may be valued by the local lord if it is placed outside, but it is insignificant in the sword castle.
All in all, Kiki had neither reason nor the ability to assassinate Diana. With Diana's current strength, even if she was defenseless, it was impossible to be harmed by mortal weapons. But the facts of what is happening in front of us are beyond doubt, that is
The black sludge spread out from the wound in the form of a spider's web, like a drop of ink spreading rapidly in the clear water. Diana wanted to retreat, but found that the power in her body seemed to disappear in an instant, and it was extremely difficult to even raise her hand. On the other hand, Kiki's state is obviously not normal, her eyes can barely see black pupils, only bloodshot whites, and spots of dirty black spots appear on her cheeks.
Kiki pulled out her dagger suddenly, but what she brought out was a black mass of blood. Only then did Diana see that it was not a dagger, but a long sword made of black sludge. I don't know what it is, but I can tell with the naked eye that it is definitely not an ordinary weapon, and it is definitely not something that a little maid can handle.
"Bastard, what did you do to Kiki?" asked Diana, clutching her wounds and half-kneeling.
No one could give her an answer, and there was a deathly silence in the castle. The guards and servants all disappeared without a trace, leaving only the little maid in front of her, holding up her long sword flowing with black sludge, and performing the unique swordsmanship of the North Wind family at Diana. 【(7764)】
"This can't be!" Diana couldn't help but widen her eyes and subconsciously muttered to herself when she saw the familiar gesture that was like breathing. This starting style is not particularly powerful, it is just a sign action before the sword of the North Wind Sword Saint back then, and it is a etiquette to pay tribute to the enemy with a sword. In order to commemorate him, later generations have passed down this action, and today it has become a sword salute dedicated to the swordsmen of the North Wind family.
Kiki had certainly learned this move, but as a maid, she was not qualified to use this sword salute. In addition to the issue of identity, this sword salute itself is also a recognition of the strength of both sides. It's like a peasant in the countryside, even if you put on the clothes of a nobleman, you can't become a real nobleman, you just make people laugh.
But in the face of Kiki's sword salute, Diana couldn't laugh at all.
"There is nothing impossible, the only daughter of the dignified Sword of White Frost can't learn swords, she can only be a slave who washes and cooks, you must have never experienced such a gap, Miss?" A voice that was neither yin nor yang came from behind Qiqi, echoing in the air repeatedly, and the overlapping echoes were like a group of people whispering at the same time.
Before the voice could finish speaking, Kiki had already swung her sword, the swordsmanship she used was a standard North Wind lineage, and the move itself was not threatening, but the evil weapon in her hand threw out a cloud of sludge, slashing at Diana instead of sword energy.
"I don't care who you are!Immediately release Kiki, or I'll make you pay!" Diana shouted angrily as she dodged the sludge attack.
"The name under it is not enough to worry about, but there is a nickname that is somewhat famous, I don't know if you have heard of it. For the past twenty years, they have called me a puppeteer. The non-yin and non-yang voice said in a brisk tone, "As for this young lady, as you can see, she is now a weapon under the wing. ”
"Doll Master?!" Diana's eyes widened, and she subconsciously gasped, although she was protected by her family because of her martial arts cultivation since she was a child, and she was isolated from the outside world and almost didn't care about the world, but despite this, she had also heard of the name of Doll Master.
Ten years ago, because of the reign of Ming Jun, the kingdom of Oakland once showed signs of prosperity, and in that era, a large number of young and handsome men emerged in the kingdom, and among those famous young people, there were several super strong people with outstanding talent who stepped into the golden rank at a young age, such as the golden lion of Isttalon back then, and the magic swordsman known as the puppeteer.
That's right, this guy who is famous for his puppetry turned out to be a magic swordsman, and the more critical problem is that
"Don't you feel ashamed that you, as a great knight in front of the Imperial Palace, actually attacked a little girl yourself?" exclaimed Diana, covering her expression.
Diana had heard of the name not because of how powerful the person had been, but because the puppeteer was also a member of the royal faction. Ten years ago, during that special period, Sword Castle chose to retreat in a low-key manner, and this person chose to be loyal to the new king, or queen. But no matter what, he shouldn't be an enemy of Sword Keep.
"There's no way around it, after all, even I don't want to face your sword directly. The non-yin and non-yang voice smiled a little embarrassedly: "But this is not non-negotiable, if you are willing to put down your sword and become the queen of Oakrant, these little things will naturally not matter." ”
"Queen, do you want me to marry that little king? What are you all thinking about? Aren't you afraid that I will accidentally kill him?" Diana frowned, she didn't have any disgust for His Majesty the King she had never met, but the strong man who could come to this level already had the qualifications to control his fate, so naturally he would not like to be pointed at by others.
"If you're just worried about this, there's no need at all, the solution is simple......" Diana's voice grew deeper, and Diana was startled to find that just as the puppeteer was using dialogue to attract her attention, Kiki's sword had quietly come to her.
Although Kiki showed far more strength than she used to be, it was not a problem for Diana, but the problem was that in the face of her sisters, she couldn't use her sword at all, so she could only dodge passively. In an instant, the two of them had stepped back three positions, blonde hair flying in the air, Diana's face was cut with blood, and she found herself more and more powerless, it was clear that the damage that the sludge had done to her body was not as simple as it seemed.
Diana's strength was declining, and Kiki's strength was soaring at an apparently abnormal rate, and her eyes were already flowing with bloody tears, which were a sign of physical overdraft. Human beings have protective mechanisms in their own bodies, but the puppeteer does not pity his dolls too much, under his manipulation, Kiki is unlimitedly stimulating the potential in her body, which can obviously improve her strength in a short period of time, but the price paid may be irreparable damage to the body.
"Dollmaster, you vile and shameless villain, you have the ability to stand up and fight me face to face!" Diana retreated to the end of the corridor, leaning against the wall and cried out through gritted teeth, "Let go of Kiki, or I will go to the king and marry him now, and then give you the death penalty in the name of the queen!"
Kiki's sword swing came to an abrupt halt, a simple but brutal but extraordinarily effective threat that made the puppeteer apprehensive.
Kiki's shadow quickly elongated, and out of her shadow came a middle-aged man in a black dress, who spread out his hands and smiled humbly at Diana, and smiled in an almost flattering manner: "If you had said that in the morning......
Diana sneered, raised her hand directly and waved it towards the middle-aged man.
The clear and cloudless sky suddenly darkened, and the entire Sword Castle and the surrounding area lost their light at this moment. The ordinary people panicked, while the strong looked up in horror. They knew that it was not really darkness, but a light that could not be described in words, and at that moment even obscured the sun in the sky, and made everything look dark.
The huge sword shadow, which was almost the same size as the Sword Tomb, plunged into the sky, and the entire castle was directly split in two. The range of the sword is limited to the castle, but above the sword's trajectory, everything is cut off, whether it is rock or steel. Looking up from below the castle, you can even see that even the clouds in the sky are torn apart by the sword light.
In the face of this unimaginable blow to mortals, everything fell silent, and even the bleak autumn wind seemed to stop and dare not move forward. This is the real swordsmanship that the North Wind Sword Saint relies on to become famous, one sword out, all things lose color, one sword is gone, all things are dead and silent!
The silence of the world lasted for a full three seconds before it was broken by a falling piece of rubble. The figure of the puppeteer broke free from the ruins of the castle and roared bloodlessly: "Hell, Michelo, what kind of monster did you sullen bastard?
