William dragged his tired body, his mind resisting the impact of the magic of the transformed attributeless runes with all his might.

"Ho...... Ho......" He carefully pulled his leg from the sand dunes, and looked at the golden light that was not far away with some surprise, "Is this ......?"

How exactly did Marshall get the recognition of [Golden Rose]? Her soul should still be in a state of loss, and it stands to reason that this discerning magic sword can't ......

Unless, in some way, Marshall completes his soul.

After all, William still couldn't figure out what was it that made [Golden Rose] and Marshall link.......

Just like when her mother pulled out her own [Golden Rose] from the [Cliff of Radiance], he didn't think about how powerful this magic sword was.

While Marshall's mother was still alive, William could not touch any part of the Golden Rose, no matter how great his strength was, not even a single petal.

"Perhaps, she is more afraid of life." William vividly remembers turning her head, a shallow smile in her eyes mixed with something, "Of course, she may simply dislike outsiders. ”

She then married Awiny, the brother of King Charles, who had been assassinated recently.

William clearly saw at their wedding that under the sea of flying flowers, Awini knelt down on one knee and personally handed her a golden rose in his hand.

It was clearly the [Golden Rose], the brilliant light that grew on the top of the cliff of the [Radiant Cliff], and there was no one of the most powerful magic swords he had ever seen.

Awini rightfully became her husband, and William got nothing.

He has been with her for half her life.

William vividly remembers that it rained that day, and although it was not heavy, it added a touch of clarity to the cold wind of winter. Nearly five or six hundred people attended the funeral.

They all said she had gone suddenly, but William knew that she had not died that day, but the day before.

Because the day before was Marshall's birth, because of the uncontrollable hemorrhage, when the baby was born, she fell unconscious and finally died.

He stood until the night. Ewini was gone, the guests were gone, her relatives were gone, even her former attendants were gone with her loyal dog, who did not want to leave, but there he stood, standing in the biting chill.

William opened the dense petals, the hatred in his eyes became deeper and deeper, and the expression on his face became more and more hideous, and even he couldn't control his magic power, and the magic light spot above his head actually flashed.

The petals were so thick that it took him five minutes to see the tombstone in its entirety.

[There is no need to force it, take what should be taken, bring what should be brought, and it will be regarded as consummation.] 】

William's lips furled, and he gently read the epitaph that belonged to her. Immediately, the resentful look on his face actually dissipated without a trace, but was replaced by a kind of relief.

William stooped down, took a golden rose from the sea of flowers, and left quietly.

Shouldn't it be glad that it is back to the man who should have returned at this time?

Suddenly, several brilliant rays of light burst out again in the desert at night, and under William's precise vision, he clearly saw a golden rose that was four or five people tall falling in the center of the battlefield, the golden branches and leaves quickly parted, and the tightly closed flower bones spread out petals one by one.

"It's ....... What ....... something" William had never seen [Golden Rose] have such a powerful attack before, "No, it can't release such a big magic power at once......"

He hurriedly probed the underground [Primordial Rune] for its magical reserves—that's right! Not only does it invoke the magic of the runes itself, but this magic sword in the form of a flower can also extract the magic of the runes that remain underground!

The power of this magic sword...... That's powerful.......

William watched as the golden roses rising from the ground stretched out more and more, the pure and sharp golden light became more aggressive, and the golden stamens turned into sharp swords! To be more precise, the tail ends of the golden tentacles are linked to the slender blades, and the blades are surrounded by dense golden runes, and the inside of the runes contains a huge amount of light attribute magic!

Huh-

The earth shook, and circles of golden lines swept out of the air, and even William, who was not far away, felt unprecedented shackles, not to mention those orc warriors who did not have the slightest ability to protect themselves. A high-pitched scream was undoubtedly a testament to the power of the [Golden Rose's] attack.

It seems that the human body is still not as good as the magic weapon......

William secretly sighed that his magic had partially recovered, but he should not have to worry about Marshall now, but about the lives of the invading orc warriors.......

As long as the carriage is still there, William does not need to worry about whether the goods are damaged, even if the [Golden Rose] plows this piece of land with his huge magic power, it is absolutely impossible for this hard rune lock to crack.

"Should I hurry up there or walk slowly......."

William was a little undecided, he was afraid that the self-defense mechanism of the [Golden Rose] would identify him as an enemy, in case he was stabbed in the heart, who could he seek revenge?

Huge golden roses spat out golden swords, golden chains threw golden-red rays of light in midair, and one orc warrior after another fell within the reach of the blade, and they were cut in two without even wailing.

Neither the soft shell nor the hard weapon could last even half a second in this lightsaber forged by rune magic, and the flying blood turned into the nourishment of the rose, and passed to the stamen of the rose through the illusory roots, and the original pure gold was gradually dyed with a layer of red like ordinary roses.

[The cluster state takes a certain amount of time to accumulate strength, but once it is accumulated, it can exert great power. 】

Erin specially used the phantom of the [Golden Rose] to create a dark room for Marshall, which is located right in the middle of the huge rose, and the little girl can observe the situation of the battlefield through the hole in the dark room, and of course, she can also sit here motionless.

[This is my first time using the cluster state, and I hope this is also the last time I use the cluster state.] 】

One....... Another ....... One more .......

Marshall seemed a little numb, with bright red blood everywhere, fragments of severed limbs everywhere, and wails like a symphony being played, one after the other.

But she was not afraid, as if all emotions had been drained before, her face was dull, her hands resting lightly against the outline of the dark room, her eyes staring motionlessly at the battle situation outside.

"Don't let the orc henchmen who protect me get hurt again, save them all." Marshall paused, sighed, and said.

Spring....... I couldn't save you. It's all because I'm so useless, and it's all because I'm too weak.

But....... I will try my best to learn how not to be weak, how to take responsibility, how to be a person with heart and lungs, affection and righteousness.

[Nine orcs in all, including the one who betrayed you earlier.] 】

"......." Marshall pursed his lips, then nodded heavily.

Boom! She slammed the ground beneath her! Tear after tear burst out and fell feebly on the dark golden rose-patterned ground.

"Uhhh

"Damn, run! This thing, it's too wicked—"

The orc warriors who suffered naturally scattered as birds and beasts, ran and fled, lost their armor and abandoned their armor, and completely lost their previous menacing state.

The original orc followers stood in the middle of the sword and sword shadows, not receiving any damage. The blood on their bodies was quickly dried in the panicked wind, and became clumps of blood crusts against their skin.

However, time was running out to stand, because there were so many escaped orcs that they could easily be put down, and the retinue who could not get up had to curl up and cover themselves with sand like crazy, and the strong desire to survive forced them to find something to cushion them to cover.

They believed in Marshall, that her magic sword would not hurt them, and that was exactly what happened.

Feng ran away with the frantically retreating army, but found that his companions were pierced through his body one by one, and he was like one of the lucky ones, the sharp sword was actually worthy of his fur and brushed again and again, and the corpses around him collapsed frantically, his heart had risen to his throat.

He was afraid that he would be the next one to take his turn.

The speed of the lightsaber swung faster and faster, and the screams first increased, and finally decreased. The orc warriors who fled with him around the peak were almost dead, and in the dazzling golden light, everyone could see the corpses of one companion after another who were fleeing as fast as one wolf orc.

The huge golden roses slowly fell, and the desert night sky turned back to its original darkness.

The first thing Marshall saw was one corpse after another, and the magic sword [Golden Rose] still emitted a lot of golden light, but it was far less terrifying than the previous bloom.

"Marshall! Feed! Marshall, are you alright! A figure limped through the sea of corpses and hugged the little girl with a dull face, "Really....... So lucky, so lucky....... You must be by William's side to say good things for us then, we almost put our lives into it to save you......."

Marshall hugged the warm, wet body of the wolf orc in front of him, already soaked with the blood of different orcs——, silently leaned against his chest and wept.

"I'll remember you....... No, I should say, I will definitely live up to your expectations of me! Marshall sobbed and screamed loudly.

"Our job is to keep you safe, and only when we see that you are doing well, can we get what we deserve with peace of mind."

The battle was over, and the golden rose, which had shone on the battlefield, returned to Marshall's waist at some point, and the golden petals fluttered slightly along the evening breeze, and the mottled golden spots turned into dots of brilliance, slowly sliding down from mid-air and blending into the wet ground.

All the enemies have been wiped out, and all the orc retinue has been gathered.

Of course, Feng was dragged back by William, who was killed halfway, well, five flowers tied up.

"I'm proud of your strength, Marshall." William, who was standing by the fire, did not dare to touch Marshall because she did not seem quite right.

To be honest, he's not that good at dealing with kids.

Marshall sat silently on a makeshift stool made of logs, half of his face seemed to be doused with a layer of dark ink, his hands propped up on his chin, and his golden hair glued together and dyed a black red.

It's all blood.

Feng was kneeling in front of the little girl and struggling desperately, even if he could break free from the restraints imposed on him by William, the orc guards around him would not stand by.

The eight remaining orc guards were like stone pillars in the Hall of Judgment, and like chips pressing on one end of the balance of justice, doubling the pressure of the peak that was wrapped in a cloth in their mouths and unable to speak.

"Hmm! Woo-woo! ”

He twisted his body harder, and the golden chains on his body were wrapped even tighter.

"I advise you not to resist, unless, of course, you want to strangle yourself." William quipped, "Well, you don't know how much effort I just put into dealing with that big guy." ”

Marshall gave a deep look at stiff William, her lips quivering.

"Miss ......" Kirito spoke at this time, took a step across, and walked in front of Marshall.

"What's wrong?" Marshall turned her head, her voice always tinged with a hint of sobbing.

Under the light of the jumping fire, a blood-red pendant glowed scarlet on Kiri's thick, fat palm.

"It's something left over from spring...... I heard others say that this is a blood related pendant. Tong personally handed the pendant into Marshall's hands, "There are two in total, as long as they are blood relatives in the family, they can consume the energy in the gem and return to the other end of the pendant." ”

"That is......" Marshall seemed to be talking to herself, she walked up to Peak and muttered, "He could have gone back ......"

"It's all for you, Marshall." Kiri blinked and said cautiously.

It's too late, it's too soon!

A scream of anger to the extreme, a sharp mang!

Before everyone could react, Marshall pulled out the magic sword at his waist, and the golden petals flew softly in the air, and a series of crisp sounds could not hide the cracking sound of the sword blade cutting through the air, just like a hot knife cutting tofu, the tip of the sword penetrated Feng's chest extremely smoothly, and then pulled out violently!

Before the hilt could even be assembled, Marshall pierced the betrayer's chest with his magic sword!

The wolf orc in front of Marshall opened his eyes wide, the protruding Adam's apple agitated up and down, the wound on his chest could not be suppressed, and the blood spurting out announced that the other party would die in a short time.

Everyone present was stunned, including William.

[Marshall, you killed someone. 】

But I saw that the little girl wiped the blood splashed on her face, carefully felt the pain of her palm being scratched by the blade, pulled her throat, and said hoarsely:

"I know."

The branches of the golden rose are also very sharp.
