Volume 1 The Tale of the Blacksmith Chapter 52 Sacrifice

However, Emir was not hit by the knife, because according to the contract, Lilith would definitely appear when his life was in danger.

At this time, as Pedro's knife fell, although Lilith did not react, her body moved at an incredible speed.

Eventually, the knife struck Lilith and was blocked by the dragon scales.

Unexpectedly, Pedro had expected this situation a long time ago, so his real target was actually Lilith.

He had spotted Lilith's weakness before, and at this point, he dodged again, moved to Lilith's side without the protection of the dragon scales, and then threw a punch with all his might.

The blow hit Lilith accurately, and a hole appeared directly in the place where she was attacked, and a large amount of blood gushed out.

Without Margaret's healing magic, her wounds could not be healed.

However, Lilith endured the pain and immediately flicked her tail to force Pedro back.

"Damn," the emile scolded, and then hastened to say, "Lydia, Daniel, we must retreat." ”

At the same time, he took Lilith back into the ring, he was not worried about Lilith's injury, because Margaret was also in the space created by the ring, and she would definitely be able to help heal.

"Huh, retreat? Think beautifully. ”

Pedro snorted coldly and shot at Emir again, Lilith was too late to stop him just now, not to mention Lydia and Daniel, who were standing not far away now.

Seeing that Emir was about to be hit by the fist with extreme heat, no one could save him.

"Emir!" Lydia shouted anxiously.

And at this moment, a figure appeared beside the emir.

He was the most useless man on the battlefield, and no one ever looked down on him, not even himself.

But it was such a person who stood in front of the emir without warning.

Emir looked at the man, his eyes were full of shock, he was obviously out of the city, even if it was a rescue operation, it was impossible to call him, but when Emir's life was in danger. He showed up anyway.

“…… Sain, why? The emir's voice trembled.

"Hehe," Sain chuckled, "Of course it's a promise, didn't you say it at the beginning?" It will protect you no matter what. ”

When he said this, his body had been hit by Pedro's fiery fist, and almost half of his body was burned.

"Cut, where did it come from, it's really a disappointment." Pedro scolded impatiently.

Immediately afterward, Sain lost his strength and fell to the ground, a large amount of blood drained from his body, and in a short time the ground was stained red.

Emir had never known that there could be so much blood in a human body, and he was so grief-stricken that he knelt beside Sain's corpse with a glazed gaze.

Pedro didn't mind another punch, and the Emir was in crisis again, but he himself didn't care anymore.

He was tired and didn't want to fight anymore.

But just as Pedro aimed at the back of Emir's head, the fiery fist slammed down, but a "bang" was heard, which seemed to be the sound of a fist hitting the blade of a sword.

“…… Tsk, there's no end. Pedro saw the person in front of him clearly, and once again couldn't help but scold.

I saw Lydia standing in front of him, using her long sword to block the deadly fist, although the blade gradually softened under the influence of the heat, Lydia did not move half a minute.

Not to be outdone, Pedro poured more power into that punch, and despite Lydia's strength, she was forced to retreat.

Luckily, there was someone behind her to keep her from falling, and it was her brother, Daniel.

However, Pedro's power was still increasing, and it didn't take long to push both of them forward.

At this time, suddenly behind them was a behemoth, it was actually Lilith, who somehow broke through the shackles of magic and ran out to help.

The wounds on her body had not healed yet, and she was still bleeding, and it seemed that Margaret was too bad to treat her.

With the help of the dragon, Pedro can't push anymore, but he is not stupid, knowing that he can't fight hard, he won't force himself anymore.

He took a step to the side, dodging Lydia's sword, and then threw another punch into her abdomen.

Lydia had been focused on fending off Pedro's frontal attacks, but she couldn't dodge them when she was attacking from the flanks.

Seeing that her body was about to be pierced, a figure suddenly stood in front of her, and Pedro's fist hit the man.

"Zizi-"

At that moment, Lydia seemed to smell the smell of burning flesh, and she looked at the person in front of her in disbelief with a shocked expression.

The same scene happened, just as Sain desperately protected Emile, Daniel did not hesitate to sacrifice himself to protect Lydia.

He used his lanky body to help her block the attack, and Pedro's punch contained immense power and extreme heat, piercing Daniel's body almost instantly.

Luckily, Lilith came to help and curled Lydia aside with her tail to prevent her from being strung together with Daniel.

"Lydia, come with Emir, let's go, this is my last wish." Daniel struggled to spit out the words, and then completely lost consciousness.

"Tsk," Pedro gritted his teeth in hatred, he really didn't expect these humans to be so stubborn, "that's enough! You ants! Why don't you want to die? What kind of capital do you have to fight me! ”

His patience was completely exhausted, he didn't want to be here for a moment, he was going to strike his strongest blow and wipe out everything around him.

Although doing so will have a great backlash on him, and it will take at least a year to recover, he can't care about it so much, and the constant deflated and humiliated make his anger value rise to the extreme.

So, Pedro stood still, his hands clenched in front of him, and then, the direction of the wind around him changed, and they all began to rush towards his body.

There was even a thick cloud gathering above his head, which seemed to contain countless lightning bolts.

Lilith couldn't help but shudder when she saw this battle, and although she didn't know what Pedro wanted to do, she instinctively felt the danger.

She did not dare to linger any longer, so she immediately picked up the emir in her mouth, and at the same time curled Lydia by the tail, and fled out of the city.

……

The sky became more and more terrifying, as if the end had come, and the black and oppressive clouds gathered together, completely obscuring the sun's radiance, and the sky turned a dark red.

The wind was blowing fiercely on the ground, the trees were blown to the ground, the tents of the barracks had long been swept into the sky, and even many houses had collapsed.

Lilith obviously felt that her body was a little strained, not only because she was running against the wind, but also because of the excessive blood loss, and it was estimated that if she was not treated in time, she would become the first dragon in history to die from excessive blood loss.

However, she has no choice but to run desperately now.

When she was taken into the space created by the magic circle, she found that Margaret had passed out, so she was not able to receive treatment.

After running for some time, she finally came to the back door of the town, where the wind was noticeably lighter, and the clouds in the sky were thin, indicating that the only place where Pedro was in the climate had changed drastically.

Lilith placed the two rescued people on the ground and relaxed after making sure there was no danger around.

As a result, she didn't even have the strength to stand up, so she could only plop and lie on the ground, her wide wings hanging down to the ground abruptly, raising a lot of dust.

When the dust settled, Emir finally came to his senses, and he looked in the direction of Pedro, his eyes filled with fear.

Not because of the apocalyptic scene, but because of the death of Sein, who had always been lively and cheerful, even if he was deceived by the army and suspected by the servants of the noble family, he was not depressed, but constantly comforted the emir, actually died.

The emir didn't want to believe it, he just felt that everything was too magical, why Sain returned to the town, but he didn't notice it, even the attentive Lydia didn't find out, why even a powerful dark knight like Pedro didn't expect that an ordinary human would run out to hinder him.

It was completely illogical, so he still believed that Sain was out of town at this time, waiting for the outcome of the battle with the rest of the people.

So, he rushed out the back door of the town like crazy, and found that there were less than a hundred civilians gathered there.

The Emir searched the crowd, calling out to Sain, but no matter how much he shouted, the boy did not appear in front of him.

Some are just blank, frightened, or dull faces.

Finally, in despair, the emir lay on his back on the ground, tears streaming down his face.

The people around him kindly gave him a clearing, and then they also noticed that the sky over the town had become eerie.

Many people began to draw crosses on their chests, and others put their hands together in prayer, but no matter what they did, the apocalyptic scene showed no sign of disappearing.

At this time, the magic in Pedro's body expanded rapidly, and even formed a vacuum-like area around his body, a large amount of air was inhaled, and at the same time, the temperature of his body surface was rising sharply.

The armor turned red and shiny, and finally turned almost white light, like a small sun.

Eventually, his magic reached a critical point, and with the slightest thought, a violent explosion would occur around his body, powerful enough to flatten the entire town.

"Look closely, this is the wrath of the Dark Knight!"

Pedro roared in his heart, he was suffering greatly from the backlash of strength, but it was not comparable to the anger and humiliation in his heart.

However, just as he was about to unleash all his power, a white figure suddenly appeared behind him.

"Stop it, or my sword will pierce your heart." The man said coldly.

Pedro was shocked, firstly, the temperature around his body was not at the level that humans could bear, and secondly, the other party only persuaded him to stop, instead of directly assassinating him, which showed that this person knew very well that if he killed him directly, the gathered magic power would instantly get out of control, causing even greater damage.

"Humans? Or is it some other race? Pedro asked calmly.

"Hmph, no comment," the man's voice was neutral, making it difficult to distinguish between genders for a moment, "you must stop, or I'll have to kill you." ”

Pedro glanced back and found that the other party was also wearing armor, but it was very monotonous pure white.

The white knight held a very ordinary-looking sword in his hand, and pressed it against Pedro's back.

"Hehe, I thought you had a lot of ability, but I didn't expect to just fool me with an ordinary sword, I have to say, you really have a big heart." Pedro scoffed.

"Don't believe me? Then you can give it a try. ”

The white knight stabbed him with his sword, but he didn't expect it to pierce the armor directly, and he could even feel the tip of the sword piercing his body.

"This ...... How is this possible! Pedro was shocked.

It wasn't the first time he had panicked in today's battle, and for some reason, he was so prone to encountering something he had never heard of before.

"You know what the consequences will be if you kill me."

Pedro forgave the other party for not daring to do anything to him.

"Really? If you don't want to stop, then I'll pull you even if you go to hell. The white knight's tone instantly turned cold.

Pedro already had the idea of retreating at this time, since the opponent's sword could penetrate his set of god-level armor, it would be even easier to kill him.

It's just that now, the magic power in his body has reached a very dangerous level, and even the mysterious white knight feels jealous, so he can only persuade him to stop.

"Cut, I won't believe you, once I stop, you'll kill me." Pedro said dismissively.

The white knight, however, laughed.

"Hehe, are you also a dark knight? How can you be so afraid of death. ”

"You have to take care of it!" Pedro shouted.

"Alright, my patience is almost exhausted, I vouch as a knight, as long as you are willing to retreat, I can spare your life."

“…… If you're a human, right, then it's even more impossible for me to believe you. Pedro didn't know the details of the other party, he was actually guessing, hoping to get out of the other party's words.

However, the white knight did not fall for his tricks and continued to persuade him.

"Well, why do you bother? Do you have one life left to at least continue to serve your master, and to die with us ants? ”

The white knight said, the sword piercing even more, and Pedro clearly felt a strong pain, and for some reason, his healing powers could not repair the place where he was stabbed by the sword.

"Who the hell are you? I've never heard of such a powerful force among humans. Pedro suddenly asked out loud.

"Alas, it's really an old antique that has lived for hundreds of years, but you have been sleeping for more than five hundred years, how can you know what has become of human beings now? Think they're all like Chrysti? Hmph, she's just a paladin at the end of a crane, and the other eleven paladins can crush you if you pick any one. ”

"Cut, don't bluff," Pedro didn't believe the other man's words at all, and then said, "However, I think about it, I'll let this town go this time, and let me meet me next time, I will definitely not give up." ”

After Pedro finished speaking, he began to withdraw his mana, but the process was not simple, and the surging mana would not disappear immediately, but could only be compressed into his body.

The white knight kept an eye on him the whole time, although the dark knight was forced to stop at this time, but she also knew that if this dark knight had a noble belief and had already put his life and death on the line, he would definitely not give up so easily.

After about half an hour, the temperature around me dropped, the clouds gradually dispersed, and the wind stopped.

The white knight breathed a sigh of relief, but as promised, she had to let Pedro go.

But she doesn't feel sorry for it, since she can threaten Pedro now and force him to stop, then there is nothing to fear at any time in the future.

Pedro quickly jumped away from the strange long sword, and he saw that the other party was indifferent, as if he really intended to let him go.

So, he hurriedly retreated out of the city, and finally disappeared from the sight of the white knight.
