Chapter 248: I can only ask you to die first
When Marlena left, Lynn began to prepare.
Now his situation is very dangerous.
Although Yvette is a deity, her power is too weak to provide him with sufficient help; The Hunters left to him by his father will not be able to use their skills in the city, otherwise they will be hunted down by the same level or even higher - although the Shadow is their territory, they will not be able to escape the control of a higher level when the entire city belongs to someone else's home turf.
On top of that, when he chose to enter the side door, the remaining escape routes were reduced to just a few, and when it was sealed, he had to choose to fight his way out.
At this moment, Lynn has no one to rely on, and no one can trust, he can only rely on his own ability to kill the stalker who follows him in the fastest time, and then use this short time for the other party to lose his own information, to find a new way out.
However, it is not easy to kill a second-order and experienced warrior.
Although Lynn has a brilliant record of killing and injuring third-order knights, it is based on the situation of asking the gods to come down with faith and pulling himself and the other party into an unfair arena, and in a normal state, he is still that first-order student.
His body is still growing, so he has not yet succeeded in breaking through to the second order, and the other party is a long-established warrior with rich combat experience and no injuries, which is definitely not an existence that the students of the Rhine Academy can compare with the golden-scaled giant bear that has been hit hard.
From this point of view, Lynn is indeed a bit difficult.
However, no matter how difficult it is, it can't make him give up struggling.
While drawing with magic on the ground, Lynn even had the energy to talk to Yvette.
"Yvette, you said that the people chosen by God were killed by mortals, does it prove that your vision is very poor."
β.β Yvette scratched her head with her paws, not knowing how to answer the question.
The people they chose were all dragons and phoenixes among people, and the people who could kill them were also the chosen people, and she really hadn't seen much of the overturning car in the gutter.
Unable to think of an answer, Yvette chose to give up the answer and asked instead, "Why, do you still care about our eyes now?" β
Lynn smiled and said casually: "It's not a difficult thing to draw this summoning circle, if you insist on concentrating, it will be a bit wasteful, it is better to chat, as a relaxation before the decisive battle." β
"Hush." Yvette rolled her eyes and gave him a blank look, then asked curiously, "By the way, you are now drawing a summoning spell. Could it be that you are counting on another god to summon to help you? I think it might be a bit difficult."
"Are you gods wholesalers in a supermarket, so easy to summon?" Lynn laughed, "I'm just picking out a weapon for myself." β
"I don't have many means of decisive battle, [Shattered Star] can be said to be the only one, but its release must be mediated by weapons, but I don't have any weapons now"
"Is that so?" Yvette blinked, "So you're trying to hack him to death?" How are you going to improve your will this time? I remember the last time you said that you can only use the way you push yourself to the brink of death once."
"You can only use it once, really." Lynn said, "What people fear most is the unknown, and after experiencing it once, after understanding it a little, it is impossible to return to the first state of fear." β
"And what are you going to do?"
"Shattered Star is just one of the means, I have more than that."
Lynn raised the blood-colored armor in her hand and pointed at Yvette again, "And it and you." β
When Yvette combines with the power of the Scarlet Armor, it can produce an anomaly that expands its power, and when it reaches a certain level, it will burst out with unparalleled power.
Lynn didn't know if it would create a space for [Shatterstar] to kill, but at least, he had to try.
"Click-"
As the final stroke of the circle was drawn, Lynn took a deep breath and began to summon.
This time the contract was still an equal contract, and the only thing he asked was for the other party to fight for himself.
Soon he got a response, and a seven-foot long sword quietly condensed in his hand.
This longsword exists in the form of a spirit, but the quality does not look very good, and there are cracks all over the body, and from the faint emotions of the other party, Lynn knows that the other party is not an ordinary weapon.
It has fought with its former master, slaughtered humans and beheaded monsters, and the supply of blood has given it wisdom, and its years of conquest have made it collapse.
After not knowing how many years its master has been dead, it now wants to end its life with a battle.
Lynn gently stroked the blade and learned its name.
[Blagoston], in the ancient Xinghui language, it means "to climb to the top of the mountain".
"Looks like I'm in luck." Lynn played with the sword and smiled lightly.
Yvette looked at him, suddenly twitched her head, and subconsciously said: "I remember that you humans seem to have a saying, called 'return to the light before death', do you think you look like now?" β
β.β
Lynn smiled kindly at her, and Yvette honestly gave herself a paw to admit her mistake.
Instead of continuing to pursue his brain, Lynn took a deep breath and looked back at Yvette as she adjusted her emotions.
"Later, I'll need your help."
He had a few brief words, but Lynn didn't know if it would work.
Warriors who can reach the second order usually have a good temperament, and with Yvette's current strength, I don't know if they can interfere with it successfully.
"Later, I'll get his attention, you can hide and watch and see if you can find his flaws."
Lynn's words suddenly stopped.
"Bang-"
The door of the rooftop was violently pushed open, and the crisp footsteps stepped on the wind, rolling the murderous machine towards him.
Hollens kicked open the door, and at a glance he noticed the boy standing directly in front of him, looking at him with calm brown eyes from a distance.
Almost instantly, Hollens recognized who the other party really was.
"Huo, isn't this the young master of the Blazer family?" Hollens stepped forward, a playful smile on his face, "I know that your family is very bold, but even the princess dares to sneak away. Tsk, that's amazing. β
The other party smiled noncommittally: "People with little knowledge naturally don't know anything, and they feel amazing when they see anything." β
Hollens narrowed his eyes: "The mouth is quite good, but I don't know."
This was the end of the unanswerable words, and the next thing that echoed on the empty balcony was the cold sound of breaking wind.
Hollens swung his sword at the other side, his steps apparently unhurried, but extremely difficult to catch in Lynn's sight, like a cunning fox that has always been able to calmly pass through the traps set by hunters.
While quickly closing the distance, Lynn also noticed that his eyes were not only on himself, but also on the changes around him, but whenever there was any abnormality around him, he could react and counterattack at the first time.
The palace guards are really extraordinary.
But for Lynn, that focus didn't do much β he wasn't prepared to rebel at all.
"Poofβ"
The sword pierced through the boy's abdomen without any pressure, nailing him to the stone fence behind him, and the tremendous momentum caused the not-so-solid stone wall to be inflicted with countless cracks in an instant, and soon it was soaked in blood.
"Huh?"
Hollens was surprised by his success.
The other party really didn't have any resistance, and he didn't even have the intention of defending at all, if it wasn't for the fact that he had gathered his strength in an instant, then the next thing that greeted him might not be a promotion, but a demotion or other punishment because of the failure of the mission.
"Why don't you resist?" Horlens asked, slightly curious, "I've heard of your deeds, and you should not be the kind of person who will be caught in the face of a desperate situation." β
Ignoring the severe pain coming from his abdomen, Lynn raised his eyebrows slightly, and replied, "You, don't dare to kill me." β
"Huh." Hollens smiled coldly, "It's not that you don't dare, but it's not necessary." β
"The order I got was just to make you half-dead, you want to die, and then there are people who will fulfill your dreams."
"Oh?" Lynn raised an eyebrow, and furrowed again from the pain, "Someone?" Who? β
"Huo, it seems that you don't know yet."
As if thinking that he had succeeded in his mission, Hollens didn't mind telling the person in front of him about the gossip he had learned.
"Not long ago, His Majesty's study suffered a terrible disaster, and all the chairs and vases were smashed by His Majesty, do you know why-because of your father, he ran away!" He said leisurely, "It is said that it was because His Majesty sent your father to kill people, but your father was good, not only did he not succeed, but he also surrendered to the other party."
"Surrender."
Lynn was stunned.
When he heard the news that his father had disappeared for no reason, and the news was still spreading everywhere, he felt that this matter was definitely not that simple.
But he really didn't even think about surrendering or anything.
It's a question of who to surrender to.
At this moment, the Rhine Kingdom is in its prime, whether it is military strength or national strength, it can be regarded as a small overlord, if it is not for the monsters and monsters in the northern ice field The threat is too huge, what Blue Land Kingdom on the side, and a bunch of small principalities, add up to not necessarily enough for the Rhine to fight.
Surrender, surrender to whom? Enoch?
The intense pain made Lynn withdraw from his thoughts, and he shook his head: "Gossip is just gossip after all, and I can't believe it at all, just because you can hear the scolding from the king's study, it already shows that it is a lie." β
"You still don't believe me." Hollens smiled mockingly at the other party's dead duck, "It's all said, Your Majesty smashed everything, including the central core of the mute circle, so my companions can hear it, I understand, who is it, and I don't want to believe that my home is gone at this moment."
He seemed to be reassuring Lynn, but the next sentence immediately revealed the essence: "Anyway, you'll see the truth come to you right away." β
"It's right that you don't resist, you're going to die sooner or later anyway, it's better to kidnap a princess as a fuse, so that you can blow up faster and suffer less."
"But I don't want to die."
Lynn interrupted him suddenly.
He raised his eyes to look at the other party and said sincerely, "At least for now, I don't want to die." β
"Huh? Did you ask me? Holens shook his finger, "All you can promise me is money, and what I give you away is powerβeveryone knows which is more important than the other." β
"No, no, no." Lynn tactfully vetoed his words, "I mean, I don't want to die right now, then." β
"βyou're going to die."
When these words fell, Holence, who realized that something was wrong, had already drawn his longsword and stepped back several steps, but the bright red light that suddenly bloomed on the young man's body erased the distance almost instantly.
"Mr. Guard, you said you had heard of me, but did you know that I am not a warrior, but a summoner of magicians."
Lynn clutched her belly and chuckled.
"For a summoner, hurting him himself can't affect his combat effectiveness too much."
His words didn't merge with the wind, for most of the blood-colored armor that Lynn had voluntarily abandoned had curled up into a scarlet fire under the guidance of Yvette's power, and the flames burst before the next moment, and the invisible shockwave took away the debris of the benches that the rooftop was supposed to have, the cool water of the pool, and all that could be seen.
"Damnβ"
Blown away by the explosion, Hollens lost his helmet, his face was pale, and his short hair was messy in the wind.
The unexpected explosion caused him some damage, but it didn't destroy his combat power, and even affected her mobility too much, so he angrily tried to fight back.
Before that, he had to go back to earth.
As a warrior, he is not very good at fighting in the air, and the void space makes it difficult for him to find a foothold, so that he can charge with the combat power he should have.
As long as there is a landing spot, and even now there is a stone flying from an unknown corner that can be stepped on, he has the ability to use his longsword to fight back forcefully.
But before that, a light that was even more dazzling than the previous red light reappeared.
Hollens held the half-broken sword and stood in front of Lynn, who had collapsed to the ground.
He pulled the corners of his blood-stained lips and smiled hard.
"That's all."
His taunt was actually not credible, because at this moment, there were several tears on his abdomen and arms, among which the abdomen was the most dangerous, and the internal organs that were slightly wriggling could almost be seen.
But judging by the results, it seems that he can also be taunted.
Because his opponent has lost his breath.
"Really looking for death"
He sat down on the ground, clutching his head.
He still killed him, but if he didn't kill him, he would be the one who died, he couldn't help it, between promotion and small life, he subconsciously chose the latter.
Hell, how can a little imp have such strong combat power. Hollens forgets his underestimate of his enemies and blames them all.
After a moment's breath, he suddenly closed his eyes.
This mission is considered a failure, and he has to find a way to keep the consequences of failure from falling on his head.
How about playing dead?
He thought that when his companions saw this ruin, they would not have thought that this was the scene left after his battle with a first-order imp, and when they found their half-dead selves, they would be able to subconsciously think that someone else had helped him - how about using his father as an excuse, and the guy was not really dead anyway.
It makes sense for a father to take care of his children in secret, right?
Hollens thought so, but his head was a little groggy.
He seemed to be a little tired and needed to sleep first.
As soon as this thought appeared, it began to spread in my mind like a crazy weed.
He wanted to resist, because the plan must not show up the young man's body, otherwise his lie would not be true.
But he couldn't.
Resisting his drooping eyes, Hollens tried to stabilize the spinning world in front of him.
In a trance, he didn't seem to be able to find the corpse of the young man who was no longer breathing, and in the next moment, he saw him covered in blood, walking towards him with an illusory long sword that was fading its luster.
"Don't kill me. You. Can't kill me. I am"
Hollens murmured dreamily, and soon fell silent.
The moment before he lowered his eyes, he saw that the young man had crossed the threshold of leaving the rooftop, waving his hand with his back to him.
"I'm sorry, I've said that before."
"If I want to continue to live, I can only ask you to die first."
