Chapter 22 Who Gave You Courage? Liang Jingru? (Ask for follow-up)
For the first time, Joshua felt that the so-called saint was just a woman.
Although he said just now that he wanted to solve the black-robed man alone, Lilith was still hesitating one second, and pushed herself out in the next second.
Sure enough, a woman's heart is needled, and it is better to be a country girl like Anna.
The city routine is deep, and I want to go back to the countryside.
[Looking at the black-robed man and Skaven walking towards him, Joshua didn't laugh angrily, he didn't know that there should be a limit to life and death, or did the ants no longer have the brain to think about life and death? 】
No, no matter how you look at it, it's yourself who is going to die, right?
Joshua felt the injuries on his body, and he had used improvised magic to escape the giant jaw of the Driller.
It's just that who would have thought that the effect would be so good, and Joshua was caught off guard and hurt himself.
But now was not the time to think about that, Joshua set his eyes on the rusty sword beside him.
If you don't guess wrong, it's the "indelible light of thirty years" as the fate article says.
But it doesn't look like there's any light.
It sits quietly in the center of the altar, and the traces of time are reflected in it.
"I didn't expect to see the demigod's former weapon here, this sword disappeared inexplicably thirty years ago, and now it seems that it is a clone used to seal the Void Moon, are you here to find this sword?"
The black-robed man knew even more than Lilith, and even the origin of the sword, but it was precisely because he knew the origin of the sword that he disdained Joshua's decision.
"You want to pull out this sword? This sword is not a divine weapon, even if it is a demigod's weapon, after thirty years of entanglement with the god's clone, it is already dilapidated at this time, do you really want to release a god's doppelganger for such a sword? ”
Having said that, the black-robed man and the Skaven soldiers still split up to kill Joshua, trying to force Joshua back with the sword.
Although no one thought that Joshua could open the seal of a demigod, he was not afraid of ten thousand.
Once the clones of the Void Moon leave the seal, even after thirty years of wear, it will be easy to kill them.
The relationship between the Moon of Vanity and the Lord of Blood is not good, as the Black-robed Man and Skaven know well.
[The traces of time cannot erase true courage, it can make mortal iron equal to the gods, if the person with clear courage draws his sword it will respond, but Joshua understands that this is not what he holds. 】
Can the Riddler get out?
The blue flame appeared in Joshua's hand, and the black-robed man who had suffered a loss covered his body with his fighting qi for the first time, so as to avoid being touched by the sin cangyan, although Skaven did not know, he also did the same.
This undoubtedly caused Joshua a lot of trouble.
Although it is said that as long as Joshua consumes enough of the power of original sin, he can break through their defenses and ignite their sins.
But it doesn't make any sense.
Joshua had already gone through several battles at this time, and he had a certain level of understanding of the so-called Grandmaster powerhouse.
Even if the Cleansing Cangyan can break through the defense of the Dou Qi, it will not be able to cause too much damage to the enemy, not because the Cleansing Cangyan can't do it, but because Joshua's strength is too weak.
If Joshua also had the level of a grandmaster, with enough magic power, he could completely use the sin cleansing cangyan to consume the two of them alive, and they would die in great pain.
But now the magic on Joshua's body is only a few fireballs, and the so-called magic power is almost replaced by the power of original sin.
After a period of attrition, while maintaining the sixth sense to make up for the gap between one and two, even if you break through the defense of the two, the follow-up attack is weak.
At this time, the cleansing of sin and cangyan was more of a deterrent, but in this way, it became meaningless.
"What kind of flame is this?"
Skaven shook off the Sin-Cleansing Flame on the back of his hand, and just now an inadvertent Sin-Cleansing Flame touched his body, and then a sharp pain came that made his face pale.
You must know that as a battle-hardened warrior, being captured and tortured was just a common thing in the past, and he didn't frown when he was tortured, but the flame ......
"Who knows, this guy is a god, it should be a pseudo-god's divine art."
The black-robed man didn't seem to know Cangyan either, but he had already suffered a loss once, so it was naturally impossible for him to fall twice in the same place.
He knew that even magic had limits, and although he and Skaven couldn't take Joshua at this time, time was on his side.
When Joshua could no longer sustain the sin purge, that was when they won.
Joshua's calm eyes were still cold, he naturally foresaw such a future, but he was still trying to figure out a way, he understood that the only variable was the sword.
"Bang~"
Joshua strengthened his whole body with the power of original sin, and ran towards the rusty sword as fast as he could, and at the same time, such a huge flaw was also detected by the black-robed man and Skaven, and the cold sword qi directly attacked Joshua's back, but ......
"Knock~"
The sword qi fell on the altar and left a terrifying crack, but Joshua dodged all the attacks without looking back.
Under the high-speed operation of the six senses, whether it is the opponent's attack intent or the fluctuations in the air, Joshua can perceive it clearly, and even if he does not turn around in such a situation, he understands where the trajectory of the attack comes from.
However, there is no point in dodging like this, Joshua's goal is too clear, and that is the rusty sword, which means that no matter how Joshua dodges, they just need to wait for the rabbit.
The strong fighting spirit condensed on their swords, and as long as Joshua could not pull out this sword in the first place, then what awaited him was to be immediately cut into three pieces.
[This is not a rational choice, Joshua is not qualified to draw that sword, and pure courage is something completely unrelated to Joshua. 】
The fate text gives an answer, which is obviously not the right decision, but ......
"It's just that the 'I' in the text of fate can't pull out this sword."
Joshua will not be fooled by the text of the Destiny Text, although he has borrowed the information provided by the Destiny Text more than once to obtain information in advance, but the more he can be constrained, the more he can find that the "Joshua" in the eyes of the Destiny Text and him are completely two people.
Is this a mistake in the Destiny text? After all, it has failed to load many times before.
Is this the change that Joshua came through for? This also makes sense, because Joshua was not the orphan living on the streets.
One thing is certain, though, that Joshua is definitely not "Joshua," so the Destiny text is not absolutely correct on this point.
Only those who have clear courage can get the response of this rusty sword.
But who can say clearly what clear courage is.
Joshua didn't know, and he knew that he was too aggressive, but he knew he couldn't be a drag on Lilith.
In order to protect him, Lilith will be restrained, and at the same time, she will fall into passivity due to the collapse of space, and the final result will be that the two of them will be buried in the ground, and the enemy will retreat.
In this case, it is better to take a risk, if it succeeds, then everyone will be happy, if it fails, then Lilith will not die here without Joshua's burden.
"Die."
"Goodbye, Joshua."
It was an angry voice, it was a playful mockery, it was the eyes that watched the moths fight the flames.
No one believed that Joshua could pull out the weapons left behind by the demigods.
Even if the weapon is just mortal iron.
Even if the original demigods were not demigods.
Cold and rancid, two strong killing intent stimulated Joshua's six senses, and at this moment, Joshua's sixth sense told him an answer.
0.73 seconds.
If Joshua can't pull his sword out in 0.73 seconds, then his fate can be imagined.
Can it be done? You'll have to give it a try.
Joshua touched his hand to the dusty hilt, and in that moment he felt that the rusty sword and the earth seemed to merge with space, and Joshua had no power to break it.
Are you going to die?
The darkness eroded Joshua's vision, but the attack that would have inflicted heavy damage on him did not fall on him, and in Joshua's perception, the breath of the two men had vanished.
"Touched my seal, boy, do you know what's sealed under this sword?"
It was a young man's voice, and his words were very serious, but his tone was so frivolous that it was impossible to guess the other person's attitude.
"The Moon of Vanity?"
Joshua remembered the gods Lilith had mentioned earlier, and the black-robed man had said that the clone of the Void Moon was sealed here.
"Thirty years of time is still not enough to completely wipe out the clone of an evil god, if you pull up my sword, he will be free, my body does not know where it is at this time, do you know how many deaths this will cause?"
It's still a serious topic, and it's still a frivolous tone, making it unclear what the demigod hero who sealed the god's clone wants to do.
"I don't know, the only thing I know is that it is the only variable, the possibility of my escape, and the town of Montenegro has been targeted by the Blood Church, and if you don't sit idly by, disaster will inevitably happen, so why not give it a go?"
Joshua understood the consequences of his actions, even considering the worst.
If he doesn't draw his sword, then the result may be that he is dead, and Lilith escapes without being able to stop the conspiracy of the Blood Church, and in the end, the entire town of Black Mountain is destroyed.
Of course, if he succeeds in drawing his sword, then releasing the evil god clone may destroy everything, Lilith, who could have escaped from the country, will also die, and the scope of the crisis may not be limited to Black Mountain Town, even Fei Lengcui will suffer.
"Do you have to make that choice even when things might go for the worst?"
"That's just the worst-case scenario, and it's just a theoretical situation, and it's always hard to predict what happens in reality."
Joshua replied calmly, and he knew that everything was not necessarily going to go to the ruined place.
How much power does the evil god clone still have after thirty years of wear, how much power does the sword that sealed the evil god clone have, and does the demigod hero have left behind......
With so many unknowns in front of him, how could Joshua pass up the opportunity in front of him?
"Who gave you the courage to make such a decision?"
Liang Jingru.
Joshua could not have answered like this, but how could he explain and prove that he was not afraid of death and put more people's lives at risk.
If you want to prove that you only ate a bowl of noodles and you can put your stomach aside, but what you want to prove now is that it is pointless to dig out your heart.
"I just want to chase a better future."
Joshua could only reply.
Danger also comes with opportunity, and drawing this sword may destroy everything around it, but it can also wipe out all dangers.
"Then you can try it, sword...... Pull it out. ”
The dark space dissipated, the frivolous tone faded, and the deadly attack was getting closer, the only change was the rusty sword in Joshua's hand.
The rusty sword and the altar seemed to be glued together by space, and Joshua pulled it gently......
"Bell~"
There was a crisp thud, and the Rusty Sword left the altar under the surprised gazes of the black-robed man and Skaven.
Be quick, kill him as soon as possible.
What if Joshua got the rusty sword?
This sword has been sealed for thirty years, and how much power is left of the god clone? Not to mention that Joshua only drew his sword, even if he gained a certain line of strength, it was impossible to integrate it in such a short period of time.
Kill Joshua now now, and get out of here before the Moon of Vanity is out of the trap once and for all.
Compared to themselves, the Moon of Vanity should be more interested in the Holy Maiden of the Church of Light, that is their only chance.
But in the next moment, their swords passed through Joshua's body, but they didn't feel like they were slashing at the enemy, and Joshua in front of them dissipated like smoke.
Afterimage?
"Climb the stars!"
The black-robed man seemed to remember something, the legendary demigod hero had the habit of using a trick once and never using it a second time, but it didn't mean that this skill was lost.
He would pass on his skills to those who could see them, and thirty years before the demigod hero had passed down a method of immense agility that left an afterimage in place.
Its name is Climbing Stars.
And after climbing the planet, it is often ......
"Picking the moon."
Joshua's voice appeared behind Skaven, and the rusty sword stabbed straight through Skaven's chest, blood pouring down the wound.
Although the long sword was already rusty, the move of Picking the Moon was already focused on concentrating the power to explode a little, and at the same time, Joshua was not only about to explode.
"Now, you can repent."
Blue flames erupted from the rusty sword, scorching Skaven's internal organs, and a miserable wail came from the mouth of the demon-feared man.
The person who gave fear to others this time finally tasted the taste of fear with pity.
However, Joshua didn't care about Skaven's fear, but was curious about whether the grandmaster-level fighting spirit powerhouse would have tetanus after being pierced by the rusty sword.
Is...... Curious.
