Chapter 35: The Fool (5)

Once upon a time, the magician was the supreme power in the human race, and the limit of this power was called the "Great Magician", and in the past few hundred years, the Great Magician has existed with absolute combat power, fulfilled obligations, and enjoyed rights. [Full text reading]

However, the appearance of the apostle has completely destroyed the original order of the wizarding world, and even the great magician cannot resist the terrifying power of the apostle, let alone intervene in the apostle-level battle......

"Multi-...... What a powerful holy power" looked up at the three different appearance of the holy angels, and the nearby black mages looked at Soth in astonishment.

Although they had also heard that this young man had lived in Salonia for a while, they never expected that this young man would actually learn the magic that Salonia was proud of, [Angel Descending]

What are you kidding? with the power of Salonia......

Many dark mages who were already dissatisfied with Soth muttered dissatisfied, after all, the centuries-old grievances between the Empire and the Holy See could not be resolved so easily.

However, dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, and those dark mages are still quite shocked by the summoning of three holy angels in one breath by Soth, after all, as the enemies of the white mages of Salonia, it is impossible for them not to understand this magic and summon three angels at the same time, which is something that even the pope of the Holy See can't do

"Wow, that's amazing" Like those black magicians, Argus's eyes were also a little surprised, but more than that, it was the expectation of the next Jiao Feng, and the excitement before the battle with Jī, I saw him stretch out his arms slightly, and said with a smile, "What an amazing strength, Soth—I'm curious, you can still maintain your human form, the reason is because of this divine power, right?" As he spoke, he paused, with a faint sadness in his eyes, and said jokingly, " Isn't it too late for you to struggle now?"

Soth knew exactly what Argus meant by "too late", as Lavia said, the power of the ancient will was too strong, too domineering, too dependent on it, and the final fate was to be swallowed up by the endless darkness.

But to give up this powerful force, really, really, hard......

When he lived in Gerbat with Dia, Soth was constantly thinking about this, perhaps he had not yet been able to grasp the horror of the ancient will at that time, and besides, Professor Hodd's sacrifice made Soth so carried away for a while, so that he took that step back for a while......

The apostle is a sad existence, just like Xiao Ugly on the stage, this kind of person who relies on the strength of others is destined to not be the protagonist of the world.

That's true for Argus, and it's for himself......

Looking at Argus silently, Soth whispered, "Why did you do this, Argus?"

"Huh?" Argus was stunned, his face a little surprised, and then said with a smirk, "What do you mean......? Killed your mentor, Hed Kendi?"

Soth's brows twitched when he heard the familiar name, and he took a deep breath to calm the anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "It's all - the first time I saw you, I never thought you would cause such an incident......

"Hehe, when I first met you, I also thought you were a good Xiao ghost, maybe you could be friends, hey, it's a pity......" As he spoke, Argus put away the joke, 1ù put out a lonely expression, and said lightly, "I, ah, hate this country, and it is incomprehensible to a Xiao ghost like you who has not [lost]...... Human beings are really ugly creatures, they cling to the strong, and even do not hesitate to sell everything they have for profit, even the most beloved NV will be given away as easily as a commodity of Jiao Yi......"

“......”

"Don't believe me?" Glancing at Soth with a sneer, Argus shook his head and laughed at himself, "Don't look at me like this, I was born in the southern nobility of the empire, this kind of thing, I am much clearer than you, the weak depend on the strong, this is their way of life, in order to survive, they can sell everything to gain power and status, like those poor worms who choose to trade with demons in the dark times for power...... But don't pity them - under their cowardly and helpless mask hides a greedy and filthy heart...... When you are strong, they will cling to you and slap you, once you lose your use value, don't think you can get help from them, usually you will give a whole box of gold coins to your weak, and when you need it, they will not even give you a silver coin, because you have lost the value of use, such a guy, is it worthy of sympathy?"

“......”

"Don't deserve sympathy, do you?" Reaching out and moosing the two cherished silver coins from his bosom, Argus stared at them and muttered, "In this world, all relatives and friends are false, and the most believable thing is your strength, great power...... The power is good, it can call people, it can make people obey, it can destroy people...... You have enough power to do whatever you want, I would like to think I understand, but it wasn't until the nightmare that I understood, in fact, I didn't understand, I didn't understand anything......" As he spoke, he cushioned the two silver coins in his hand, looked at Soth and said jokingly, "Do you know why I cherish them so much?"

Soth shook his head and whispered, "A relic left by someone important to you?"

"No," Argus chuckled and shook his head, grinning wickedly, "it was stolen from a shop, and it was in a hurry, and it was chased by a lot of people, and it dropped quite a few on the way, leaving only these two ......"

"Huh?" Soth's expression suddenly became very strange.

"Haha—what's that look on your face?" said Argus, shaking his head with a wry smile, "Do you think I had this power in the first place......?" It was twenty years ago, my father died in the struggle for power among the nobles, and the family inheritance was divided up by those so-called relatives, and my only sister and I were kicked out of the dreamy life of the nobility at once, and lived a life that was not even as good as a commoner, and in order to survive, we asked for help everywhere, and at that time, I naively thought that the people who had received my father's favor in the past might help us, but ...... It turns out that I am too naïve, their ugliness is beyond your imagination, and the guys who used to even give their own daughters to me as servants have changed their faces all of a sudden...... One late winter night, my sister and I were huddled in a corner of the city, and then, as my sister said, "[Brother, I'm hungry]......" as he spoke, his expression suddenly became jī and he yelled, "Do you know how I felt at that time?"

“......”

"For the first time, I did something that was contrary to the noble upbringing...... I was very uneasy at the time, and I hid for a long time to avoid the guys who were chasing me...... And when I returned to the place I had come from with a feeling of anxiety and joy, I found my sister, Claire's body, which had become cold...... What a sad thing it is to die alone in a city that is familiar enough to call it home, but die lonely because of hunger and loneliness...... From then on, I told myself that there are no gods in this world - even if I am, they are not the gods I recognize," said Argus, who casually dropped the two silver coins on the ground, looked at Soth and said in a deep voice, "I see, for me, they represent definitely not good memories, but hatred of the world, hatred of the dirty strife between the nobles, hatred of those who cling to the strong, But not with the hatred of the weak, I keep these two silver coins because I need them to warn me at all times, to remind me that there are some fellows in this world who are not worthy of pity and pity—such a filthy and ugly country, and I vow to destroy it with my own hands, and to achieve this end, even if I am with the devil, even if I give everything, I will not hesitate to do it."

"Argus ......" looked at Argus's angry expression, and Soth sighed slightly.

As if noticing Soth's expression, Argus said with a bit of disgust, "When I first saw you, I liked you very much, Xiao ghost - because your eyes are very clear, as if there is no such thing as a liking or a dislike, out of this world, but gradually, your eyes have become cloudy, especially three years ago, you were carried away by anger, and your eyes are no longer as clear as they were at the beginning...... I'm disappointed," he said, looking up at Soth and muttering, "Although your xìng grid is very similar to me at the beginning, but it's just like me...... Come on, Soth, don't you want to kill me, as long as you have enough power, you can do whatever you want, that's the right to be strong."

"Stop, Argus"

Argus was stunned, his face was a little sluggish, and then he snorted coldly, covered his forehead and laughed wildly, "I thought you wanted to say something, stop it?

The [projection of Marmén] summoned by Argus, as a fully embodied apostle, is also close to a physical being.

It was a two-headed beast more than a hundred yards tall and three or four hundred yards long, with a body and wings, powerful limbs, sharp claws and hooves, and a tail like a steel whip, and this fierce beast was even greater than the three angels summoned by Sos combined, as huge as a mountain.

"Don't talk to me in this tone, who do you think you are?" As if angered by Soth's words, Argus looked at Soth with cold eyes, and said in a low voice, "What qualifications do you have to teach me?" Don't forget your identity, Xiao ghost - you are also an apostle, we are the same kind of people, you think you are on the side of justice in this world, there is no real justice, justice, it always belongs to the victor, and you have not defeated me yet......" As he spoke, a strong dark aura emanated from his whole body, and the phantom of the two-headed bird behind him also moved, ready to pounce on the Xiao ghost in front of him at any time.

"I ...... I never thought of myself as a righteous ......" As he spoke, Soth glanced at the overwhelmed dark mages around him and said lightly, "You guys...... Stand back"

"Wo...... Lord Womismley......"

"It's Soth" corrected the other party's title, Soth took a deep breath, looked at Argus and said in a deep voice, "After killing you, I will give up the power of Sloth and go to a remote country, run a shop that is not too big and not too small, I want to live the life I want to live......"

"Huh?" Listening to the bland words, Argus's angry eyes couldn't help but froze, 1ù a little crying and laughing, with a little regret, a little envy, shook his head and said, "Ah, that sounds really good" As he spoke, his eyes changed, and the two-headed beast behind him swooped down on Soth.

Almost at the same time, Soth waved his arms and shouted, "Diphnidi"

As soon as the words fell, the power angel Diphinid held a spear and a long sword to lead the huge two-headed bird beast, only to hear a bang, the nearby black mage only felt that the sky was dark, and the two huge beings collided fiercely together, and the sharp claws against the weapon exploded with an earth-shattering roar.

“...... What's going on?" In the overwhelming dust, the human soldiers who were fighting with the Death Knight looked a little panicked, and when their eyes focused on the two giant beings in the tumble, their faces immediately became dull.

"What a battle this is......" Watching the battle between the two beings in astonishment, one of the dark mages muttered, "Not qualified to intervene at all, we ......"

"Ahh......h This is what His Highness Womishley meant, and we ...... Unable to bsp; After truly seeing the battle of the Apostle level, the nearby dark mages and human soldiers gradually began to retreat, after all, it was beyond their power as humans;" Hey, it's abandoned," Argus said with a grin, as if noticing the actions of the dark mages and human soldiers, and then, with a wave of his right hand, a ball of black light flew towards Soth with a rapid speed.

"Abandon?" snorted, and as soon as he raised his hand, he flicked the black ball of light into the sky, and said lightly, "They're only here to get in the way, right?—Hey, Argus, is that an attack?"

"Yo, don't breathe, Xiao ghost—what?" laughed twice, Argus looked at him, raised his right hand, and saw that in his open palm, one after another black balls of light were shot out at a very fast pace, dense and dense, like cannonballs.

"Hmph" Looking at those black sè light balls that approached in an instant, Sos smiled faintly, and didn't seem to have the intention of making a move, which made Argus feel a little surprised, after all, even if he was an apostle, he would still be injured if he was attacked so intensively.

Just as Argus was suspicious, a curtain of light suddenly appeared in front of Soth, blocking the dense attack for him without any danger.

Glancing in surprise at the angel of wisdom behind Soth, who had his eyes closed, Plainfett, Argus smiled a little at the corner of his mouth, and said jokingly, "Yo?

"Defense?" Soth shook his head slightly, and at the moment when Argus was stunned, the wise angel Plunfit opened his eyes suddenly, and a shield-like holy light curtain condensed in front of him, and immediately, countless arrows of holy light as thick as an arm poured out of the light curtain.

Boom, a dense stream of arrows of holy light was vented in Argus's area.

After the dust fell, Argus, who was standing intact behind a dark barrier, whistled and shrugged, "Oh, yes, it's the wise angel named [God's wisdom]...... It's really good, but, just with this kind of unruly power, okay?" he said, his eyes lit up, and his raised right hand shè out a pillar-thick black sè beam.

The wise angel Plunfit immediately cast the holy light wall as a defense, but what was surprising was that the black sè beam could not even resist the holy light wall with the best defensive ability in white magic, but the moment it was just contacted, there were a few cracks in the light curtain......

"Hmph" Argus snorted coldly, but then, his face was a little shocked, because he noticed that although there were a few cracks in the light curtain, it did not collapse on the spot, more precisely, the light curtain was constantly repaired......

Their own attacks turned out to be ineffective?

Argus keenly noticed that something was wrong, and I don't know when it began, that divine power seemed to be constantly expanding, from the initial position of only a dozen yards beside the ghost, and gradually expanded to the distance of hundreds of yards now, and within this range, the dark power he had condensed seemed to be constantly consumed......

What's going on? Where did these divine powers come from?

Suddenly, Argus noticed the last angel behind Soth, who was standing like that without cooperating with the angel to attack the two-headed beast phantom he had summoned, or with the angel of wisdom......

In Argus's suspicious eyes, the third angel behind Soth, the superior angel, the seat angel: [Toronus - Guide: Gald] , The only angel wearing a crown, holding a scepter symbolizing sacredness, stood quietly behind Soth, as if he had no intention of joining the battle, but Argus clearly realized that the surroundings of this angel were the places where the Holy Power was most concentrated, and the unimaginable powerful Holy Power even changed the original appearance of the Holy Light, turning into a viscous existence like mist, gathered around Soth, resembling a realm......

"Now?" As if noticing Argus's expression, Soth glanced at the angel Gelder behind him, and said lightly with a somewhat strange tone, "Gheld, he is not an angel who is good at fighting, he can neither be as capable as Diphnidius to fight your phantom, nor as fast as Planfit, but he has special abilities that other angels can't match......"

"Domain?" Argus guessed, frowning.

"Well, the realm is just the name of the Empire's black magician, and it is not recognized in Salonia, after all, the people of Salonia think it is blasphemous, and they are very stubborn...... The angel, symbolizing the [realm of the gods], is the inspector of the gods in the divine powers, and although he is not good at fighting, he has special abilities that other angels cannot do, and in his [realm], [the flame of the holy light will be kindled, and the darkness will be extinguished], that is, [God said: Under the light of the holy light, all darkness cannot be hidden]......"

"Huh, what a troublesome ability" Argus scratched his head in distress, he clearly noticed that the power angel that was suppressed by the Ma mén phantom he summoned just now seemed to gradually have the power to fight back, and the same was true of the wise angel, because of the existence of the angel, the power of the other two angels was constantly strengthened by those rich holy powers, and on the contrary, whether it was himself, or the Ma mén phantom he had summoned, or the dark aura that was wandering around, they were being consumed and purified all the time.

But what...... So what?

With a "bang", Argus suddenly disappeared in place, and when he appeared, he appeared behind Soth, and he, with the power of darkness, broke through the defensive barrier of the wise angel so easily.

"Who do you think you're fighting against?" roared, and Argus threw a punch into Soth's back, but then he suddenly felt his fist being caught.

At the last moment, Soth blocked Argus's fist with his left hand and whispered, "You'd better not forget, I'm also an apostle," he said, and a faint white spark of fire emanated from his body.

"Oops" exclaimed in his heart, Argus disappeared in a flash, he had just left, the area where he was standing burst into a fierce flame, the seemingly invisible white flame swept through like a storm, steaming everything it touched, and even the surface of the ground was destroyed.

[Flame Flash: Dual Strength]

"Whoa, whoa," a few flashes retreated into the distance, and Argus looked at the illusory white flame on Soth's right palm in surprise, and said jokingly, "Hey, I almost got * off."

"Kill you, I don't expect White Flame to kill you, at most...... Half dead."

"Hey, hey......" Argus shrugged his shoulders with a wry smile, then looked at the white flame in Soth's hand, shook his head, and said, "Hodd Kendi is proud of this—what a lucky ghost, much luckier than me......" As he spoke, his expression changed, and a flash of magic vanished in place.

At the same time, Soth also disappeared in place, in that burst of darkness and flames, the two kept casting all kinds of magic, this frequency of spells, even the wise angel could not help Soth a little, but turned to help the Angel of Power suppress the phantom of Ma Mén, after all, the other party is Argus, a more complete apostle than Sos

The battle between the two of them even spread to other areas, and the dark mages and the human soldiers who had been warned by Soth retreated one after another, until they retreated to Allen's side, while the death knights, who did not receive the order to retreat, were innocently implicated, by the battle between the angel and the phantom of Marmén, and by the battle between Argus and Soth......

The entire central battlefield has become a stage for Argus and South, a stage at the pinnacle of the entire world
