(644) Real vs. Unreal
Seeing that the Emperor was freed from his shackles, Van Geerich began to concentrate and exerted his phantom illusion and manipulation of corpses to the extreme.
Due to the excessive consumption of his body, blood began to drip from his nostrils, his internal organs swelled, and he began to vomit blood in his mouth.
Van Grič kept motivating himself:
(Resist...... Resist...... In this world, there is no great achievement that can attract me except to kill the overlord of the world, Salantos Midknight! After this vote, I will become a monarch killer and leave a name for eternity! There are no regrets in death! )
The Grand Empress Rosemary Midknight stood up with the coffin and whispered softly to the Emperor;
"Mom's ......"
"No...... I don't care about you...... You're not my daughter......"
Although Empress Salentos knew in her heart that all this was a false trap, as a warrior, she should act decisively,
However, as a mother, in the face of her daughter's face, she just can't do this.
Officers and soldiers around,
Including the little princess Edgar, she has been deeply trapped in the carefully woven phantom illusion and cannot extricate herself.
No one else can help at all, and Salantos has to face difficult choices on his own.
"Mom...... How can you be so ruthless...... Don't you love me anymore? ”
Princess Rosemary Midknight's golden eyes glistened with tears, her voice sobbed, and her little mouth pouted so aggrieved that she looked pitiful.
Saratoston felt dizzy:
"Honey, how could I not love you......"
"Mom...... Please, hold me tight......"
"For many days and nights, I have dreamed of this moment, but then I think about it, you are dead......"
Van Grič was ecstatic when he saw that the emperor had been gradually eroded in his mind,
Regardless of the burden on his body, he continued to increase the strength of his illusions, and he brought the image of the Duke of East to life, and every detail was flawless due to the long preparation beforehand.
Faced with the "siege" of two deceased relatives, Salantos finally fell into the illusion of reality, and she reached out to her father:
"Daddy...... Is it really you......"
"My sweet little Salantos,"
A charming smile spread across the Duke's face: "How did you become so emaciated, missing an eye and missing an arm." ”
"These are all ...... The cost of war. ”
The Duke's expression was extremely sad:
"The enemies of Valstad...... They were so hateful and bullied my cute little Sarantos......"
The Empress raised her head: "Dad, I have done everything I promised you, whether it is the League of Nobles, the Papal States, or the Knights Kingdom...... Enemies of Valstad...... I defeated them all, all! ”
"You're doing a good job, who is this pretty girl?"
"She's your granddaughter Rosemary, look at her nose, how handsome, just like you!"
"yes, she has the bridge of the nose of the Midknights, it's long and straight,
Great, our family is thriving, little Sarantos...... Look at your face, it's so tired, sick, you need to rest. ”
"Father...... Honestly, I ...... I'm really tired, I don't want to carry the burden of the country and the nation anymore, and when this battle is over, I'll give way to Konstanz,
Let's go back to the forest, rebuild our mother's hut, and live a quiet rural life, shall we? ”
"Of course, that's what I'm hoping for, and why should we wait, why not now?"
The Duke of Easter took Princess Rosemary's hand and continued to approach the Emperor:
"Come, let us leave this noisy world together and go to the carefree Garden of Eden."
Just at this moment, the Imperial Prime Minister Dali Einfurt opened the curtain and entered the tent of the headquarters and saw a thrilling scene -
The Dark Templar Assassin Master Coach Van Grich was standing in the middle of the tent, his eyes closed and his mouth muttering, a lavish coffin at his left foot, in which a decomposing corpse lay inside.
Everyone in the tent was in a trance, and the emperor and the princess were not spared.
The Assassin reached out and touched the corpse in the coffin, chanting incantations as he slowly approached the Emperor, his long sharp dagger in his other hand.
"Your Majesty, danger!"
Dali ran over, and as soon as he approached the assassin, he felt a wave of dizziness in his head.
In front of him, his longing figure appeared,
A lady with red hair and amber eyes suddenly appeared,
She was smiling at herself, dressed in a white lab coat with a red cross emblem embroidered on her collar.
"Jianning!"
Dali Einfoot felt his heart beat out, and he wanted to rush forward desperately and hug his deceased wife.
With two steps to go, Dali stopped,
(No, the eyes are not right, not clear enough, this ...... This is not Janine! )
Dalí clearly remembers that snowy night decades ago,
Homeless little girl Janen Winsted.
Janine was his favorite, his soul, his desires, his everything......
There is no one in this world who knows her better and loves her more than Dalí,
Of course, I won't mistake her.
(Jainning had eyes as gentle as a hind, not as they are now, empty and soulless.) )
"Oh no, I've fallen into a trap!" Dali Einfurt was instantly alert,
With the last shred of sanity he had left, he turned his heart and bit his tongue with his teeth, briefly shielding the illusion from seeing the truth.
The assassin was about to succeed, his sinister dagger glowing with a venomous green cold light, and he wanted to kill his own emperor,
And Dali Einfurt must not allow that to happen.
He drew his pistol and shot the assassin in the heart:
"Phew!"
To his surprise, the Assassin did not fall, still standing in his original position, and his body that should have died burst into a strong life force.
"No!" The Empress of Salantos screamed bitterly,
In her eyes, Dalí did not shoot the Assassin, but her duke's father.
The grief lasted only a moment, and although he had not been able to completely get rid of the illusion, the emperor had already seen the reality clearly and gradually regained his mind:
(Oh my...... It's dangerous! )
Salantos Midknight pulled out the family's famous sword "Twilight", pierced the carpet with its dark blade, pierced deep into the soil, and his silver-gray eyes shone brightly, and he raised his head to the sky and shouted:
“LinusTilizhasbender!
The demons are gone! ”
All illusions are gone, and the truth is particularly unpleasant,
The handsome face of the Duke of East turned into a sinister and cunning assassin,
Princess Rosemary's decomposing body lay in a coffin, emitting an unbearable stench.
Edgar couldn't accept this reality, and froze in place:
"Mom...... This...... This is not true...... Sister, she's still alive......"
Salantos glared at the highly decomposed corpse:
"Xiao Ai, accept the reality, your sister is dead, these bastards are using her body against us, it's really insidious."
"No!" Edgar cried and covered her eyes, unwilling to look at the rotting corpse, "That's not Sister Rosemary!" That's not! ”
"It's a pity, that's,
Open your eyes, Xiao Ai, the truth is always cruel, we can't indulge in false happiness, it's time to wake up. ”
"Awesome...... It can even crack the deepest level of phantom illusion...... But don't rejoice too soon! Van Geerich roared: "Look at the move! ”
He is a peerless prodigy, not only proficient in the art of assassination, but also fully proficient in the illusion genre of Soskaya sorcery, and he is also quite skilled in the manipulation of corpses.
Princess Rosemary's carrion burst out of the coffin, a venomized spear in her hand, and stabbed at her mother.
Salantos easily swung his sword to block the short spear, then slashed the princess's head with an elegant arc.
The rotting head rolled on the carpet a few times, and the dirt and maggots inside fell out.
The emperor's face was expressionless, but his heart couldn't stop dripping blood,
(Rest in peace, my daughter.) )
Edgar heard the sound of her mother's heartbreak, and all her complicated emotions turned into anger,
She raised her long-handled battle axe and slashed down at Van Grich's Celestial Spirit Cover:
"Dog offal! Unexpectedly defiled my sister's body!
I'm going to dismantle you! ”
