540 You die unjustly
"Bang!"
I don't know how many loud noises passed, but the phenomenon of the building being smashed finally stopped
At this time, the smoke and dust caused by the collapse of a whole row of buildings one after another rose thickly, forming a smoke dragon that lasted for a long time.
And at the end of the smoke dragon and a whole row of collapsed buildings, Woodworth, who was full of heat, held Rig in one hand and grabbed his neck, panting and screaming.
"It's over, son of prophecy."
Carried by Woodworth, Rieg was covered in blood and scarred, and at first glance he knew that he was in a near-death state and was dying.
"Poof!
Without any hesitation, Woodworth pinched the neck in his hand, and even swung his claws, and a claw slammed into Riege's body, bursting out with incomparably powerful force, blasting his upper body directly.
A large amount of blood was spilled, staining the ground red, and only the lower half of the body fell to the ground like garbage, completely losing its breath.
"Whew..... · Call...... Hoo ......"
Woodworth gasped, looked at the broken body lying at his feet, and suddenly laughed, "Haha... ... Ha
Haha·· ...-hahahaha.....!"
I won! It's me who won!
"I've finally killed him!"
Woodworth looked up and laughed
"Sure enough, I'm the strongest warrior in the Fairy Kingdom of Britain!"
"What Gawain? What Lancelot? You can't win, you've been killed by me now!"
"I'm the only one who truly deserves to be the queen! I am the only one who can be the king of Britain!
"I, Woodworth, am the strongest!
Just as the long-standing depression has been removed, Woodworth's mood at this moment is called a cheerful, and his spirit has become extremely high-pitched, making his emotions extremely excited.
As for whether Morgan would be questioned when he returned after killing the queen's husband, this kind of thing was no longer in Woodworth's consideration.
Even though the Queen's order had been to be taken alive, Woodworth still didn't intend to carry out the fight from the beginning, he had come to kill Rigg
Now, he has finally succeeded.
Just as Woodworth was laughing at this, the vision struck
"Poof!"
A sharp pain struck Woodworth's back with the strange sound of a blade piercing through his body, causing his laughter to turn into a howl of pain.
"Wh... -What...
Woodworth's eyes widened, and he was stunned
There are two reasons why he was confused.
One was this sudden attack
One is the fact that the protection of one's own body has been broken.
A familiar voice that made Woodworth feel disgusted sounded faintly behind him
"Self-confidence is a good thing, and being too confident is undoubtedly a bad thing.
"Don't you think so?
"The pretentious King of Britain?"
These words made Woodworth's eyes widen a lot more suddenly, and then a burst of anger erupted.
"Roar!"
With a roar, Woodworth spun around and slammed his claws behind him
The claw-striking storm fell, shattering the ground without incident, setting off a huge shockwave
But before Woodworth's attack could fall, the attacker dodged the blow by dodging and retreating
"Rieger Brihaut!"
Feeling the sharp pain in his back, Woodworth roared in anger
He was angry and puzzled
Why?
Why is he still alive?
Hasn't he already been killed by himself?
Thinking so, Woodworth subconsciously looked at the pool of blood behind him, and then his pupils shrank
Where is there any pool of blood?
Whether it was blood, or only half of the corpse remained, it disappeared without a trace as if it had not existed in the first place.
And Lige, who was standing in front of him, was not only unharmed, but also emitted light from a pendant around his neck
That pendant is none other than the god Merloa
There is no doubt that at the time of Woodworth's outburst, Rig unleashed the first effect of the god Merloa, completely isolating himself from the outside world and entering a state of invincibility
So, Woodworth's attack, though loud and terrifying, ultimately failed to bring harm to Rige
In the face of Woodworth's consternation, Rieger's voice sounded extremely calmly
"It's just an illusion, what's so surprising?"
"Your protection is so powerful that my magic is almost useless, but as long as it's not you, my magic will still work.
"The illusion just now is a kind of magic that deceives your eyes and senses, not acting directly on you, but creating illusions in front of you.
"In other words, everything you see is just an illusion."
"How? Surprised?
The calm words without the slightest hint of sarcasm were the most irritating to Woodworth
"Ahh
Woodworth was furious, stepped forward, and immediately prepared to charge at Rige
However, as soon as he took a step, Woodworth felt a sharp pain in his body, making him involuntarily fall to his knees as if he had lost all his strength
"W-What is this······!?
Only then did Woodworth realize that there was a pitch-black fluctuation on his body at some point.
That's ······
"Morse's curse...
Woodworth's face changed dramatically
Yes.
That's Morse's curse
Woodworth is infected by Morse's poison
"Difficult, are you... ....!?」
As if he understood something, Woodworth jerked his head up and looked at Rig, who was standing across from him, and let out a voice of mixed anger.
"That's right." Rieg said lightly, "I collected the curse of Morse
On closer inspection, a short knife was stabbed in Woodworth's back
If Artoria had been here, she would have recognized the origin of the dagger.
It was a short knife that Rieg had obtained in the village of Tintager.
The forger of the dagger was the forger who lived on the coast around Tintager, Eckert
At that time, Rige, who had taken Artoria with him to Eckert's workshop, obtained the dagger there, and has kept it in his collection to this day.
Of course, it wasn't the dagger that broke Woodworth's protection, but the power of the curse that gathered on it.
"Do you think it's been so long that I haven't thought about how to break through your protection?
Rieger's voice was still calm, still indifferent.
"Magic doesn't work against you, and physical attacks can hardly do you harm, so if I don't find a way to break your protection, then no matter how strong I become, I am afraid I won't be able to defeat you.
And the rematch with Woodworth, in Rige's opinion, was something that was sure to happen.
It's impossible for this Hui Yaling not to hate himself, and it's impossible not to want to kill himself, as long as he sees his past performance, he can clearly understand this matter.
Rieger himself wanted to bring down Woodworth
So, during the month he spent at Camelot, Rigg was thinking about how he could break Woodworth's protection.
As a result of his thoughts, Rieger set his sights on one thing
That's Morse's curse.
"Morse is a natural predator of the elves.
"Even if the Tooth Clan has a curse on Morse
Higher resistance than the rest of the elves, you, a brave man who once fought against the king of Morse, will not be infected by the idle Morse, but Morse's restraint on the spirit is still an objective fact."
"In that case, if you collect an extremely large amount of Morse's curse, will you be able to break through the protection of the goblins?
"No matter how you say it, they are all natural enemies, and Morse's curse should be able to break through the protection of the goblin, even if it is the protection of the big goblin."
Rieger set his eyes on Woodworth, and a smile finally appeared on his face
"As it turned out, my conjecture was correct."
"Even if it's the Great Goblin Protector held by Hui Yaling, as long as Morse's curse is enough and strong enough, it can break through."
"After all, the source of this curse is undoubtedly the original six Yalings of the Fairy Kingdom of Britain,
How could this curse not work on Yaling?
Ignoring the secret he had inadvertently revealed, Rieger walked in the direction of Woodworth
"Didn't expect that, did you? You, who once fought against the King of Morse, will eventually be defeated by Morse's curse
"In a way, this is karma.
"You died unjustly.
Woodworth didn't hear these words very clearly.
The curse poured directly into his body from his back had eaten away at his flesh, infected him with magic, and left his eyes dark.
"Gaa... Ahh ....!」
Boundless darkness and pain rushed to Woodworth in this moment, causing him to scream.
However, the cry has also deteriorated, and is no longer as fierce as before, like a beast, but a silent complaint.
It was Morse's cry
The brave man of the fairy kingdom of Britain, the patriarch of the Tooth Clan, and the name of the Grand Duke of Radiation, Woods, is gradually turning into a Morse.
This is Morse's infection.
This is Morse's assimilation.
Cursed magic erupted from Woodworth's body, causing his human-wolf appearance to gradually distort as if he were about to transform into a soft creature.
One can imagine how strong this Morse will be once he becomes Morse, with the power of Woodworth
Perhaps, Woodworth will become the king of Morse for a new generation, that is not a doubt
Unfortunately, he didn't have that opportunity
"Poof!"
Flames flashed around him, and the slash of the flames cut through the space, slashing through Woodworth's neck
」——————「
Woodworth's shouting came to an abrupt end.
Click···
Rieger appeared behind Woodworth at some point, slowly retracting his knife.
It wasn't long before Woodworth's head fell and rolled to the ground.
"Your Majesty......"
In the faint cry, the once brave man of the fairy country of Britain turned into a burst of ashes and dissipated, no longer existing
