Chapter Seventy-Four: Dragon Slayer
Now, only Linya and the dumbfounded skeletons are left in the castle halls. Linya was simply bored, so she continued to watch the battle of the dragon slayer.
The pirates have changed their tactics, and the magicians are desperately attacking the fire dragon with freezing magic, the fire dragon is of course the most afraid of water magic, the dragon's already tall and bulky body is even more sluggish under the constant attack of the ice blocks, and the archers use the ice arrows blessed by the magician with the freezing effect to shoot at the fire dragon from a distance.
The poor fire dragon was already covered in scars, the bright red blood was constantly dripping, and his mouth was panting, but he was still stubbornly spitting out the fire ball one by one, and the big tail was useless, and the pirates kept their distance cunningly. The pirates were torturing the fire dragon with wheel warfare, and those who were burned by the fire immediately retreated to the battlefield, and the priests helped them extinguish the fire and heal their wounds.
It seems that the fire dragon can't hold out for long, it scurries left and right in the crowd, but it can't break through the sea of more than two hundred people. The dragon looked annoyed, but it was actually having fun. Linya looked at the funny appearance of the fire dragon and wanted to laugh, alas, these big guys have really lived for a long time, and they have problems with their brains!
The fire dragon finally collapsed, and in the shouts of the pirates, the fire dragon raised its head and roared, and its huge wings finally fell weakly, and its bloody body fell like a small mountain, stirring up dust all over the ground. The fire dragon wagged its big tail, fluttered and struggled hard, screamed, closed its eyes, and finally stopped moving.
Linya almost didn't laugh and lay down, this dragon is really funny, but its acting skills are really stinky, and it doesn't look like it's dead at all, alas, it's embarrassing and dead!
The pirates didn't know this, and they all cheered when they saw that the fire dragon had finally fallen.
"The dragon is dead!
"We killed the fire dragon!"
"Haha, we are dragon slayer warriors! brothers, work harder, the dragon's treasure is already ours!"
"Yay, yes!"
The pirates climbed onto the dragon's body and jumped for joy like children. The fire dragon also pretended to be dedicated, his body was motionless, and he was still muttering blood from his mouth, and he didn't know where he got it.
Linya laughed so hard that she bent over. Just as he was holding his aching little belly, there was a sudden bang at the gate of the castle, and the two skeletons guarding the door turned into countless bones and flew apart.
Linya quickly turned her head to look, and in the sunlight, two tall figures appeared at the door.
"Hey, we're developed, Tiria!" said a young man in knight's armor on the left.
"Hehe, of course, let those stupid pirates continue to fight the dragon, ah, the dragon's treasure is ours!" the other creature in a robed robe swallowed as he looked at the gold coins scattered all over the ground.
"Haha! Huh...... Tyria ...... "The knight found Linya and hurriedly said to the mage, "Look, how can there be a girl?
"Ahh......h Is that true?"
"What?" the knight's eyes could no longer take away from Linya, but his face was inexplicable.
"Princess Linya...... I got news from the mainland yesterday that Princess Linya of the Red Leaf Empire was captured by the black dragon and brought to Dragon Island...... And...... The emperor of the Momiji Empire has already offered a reward of 100,000 Momiji gold coins to anyone who rescues the princess......" The mage's eyes stared straight at Linya, and it seemed that he was no longer a stunning little beauty, but ...... A whole pile of gold!
Linya hates being stared at by those stinky men the most, and she keeps judging on the sidelines, which is really uncomfortable! But Linya heard something from their mouths, and her father actually offered a reward of 100,000 gold coins to save me......? Oh, my God...... Thinking that his father must be very concerned about him now, he couldn't help but feel moved and sad in his heart.
"Really...... Really?" the knight's mind was finally pulled back by the gold, "100,000 gold coins, 100,000 gold leaves coins?
"There shouldn't be anything wrong, Princess Nalinya is a famous little beauty, no worse than Princess Alice of the Cloud Empire!
Knight Noken hurriedly sorted out his already somewhat old and rusty armor, cleared his throat, and said to Linya: "Ah, this beautiful young lady, your beauty is really like a legendary angel! It is our honor to meet you! I am the great dragon slayer knight Noken, may I ask if you are Her Royal Highness Princess Linya of the Red Leaf Empire?"
What about the great dragon slayer knights? This guy is really shameless! Linya couldn't help but frown, uh, how do you answer them? It seems that they are preparing to "save" themselves back to the mainland, but those dragons obviously have no intention of harming themselves, this, it seems that there is no need for that, right?
But lying doesn't seem to be that necessary. Linya nodded and said, "Yes." Who are you? with those pirates?"
"Oh, no, no!" the knight Noken hurriedly argued, "We are not pirates, we are just trying to rescue Her Royal Highness the princess and use them temporarily!" Noken said solemnly.
Hehe, I'm really an ignorant little princess? It seems that these two guys are really not good birds! Linya seems to have to find a way to get rid of these two guys.
"Please don't be afraid, beautiful Princess Linya, the dragon outside has been slain by us!, please come back with us!" said the mage Tiria as well.
Linya was about to make an excuse to refuse, but the skeleton soldiers were very cooperative in standing in front of the two guys.
"You filthy undead, your master's evil dragon has been slain by us, do you slaves still want to stop our great dragon slayer?" The knight flicked the hair on his forehead with his hand, drew his sword and swung it, and the two skeletons in the nearest place were cut in two at once, and kicked them away.
Linya couldn't help but be startled, this guy is inconspicuous, but it's quite powerful! The stunned skeletons finally came to their senses and rushed forward with their swords.
"Boom!" There was a loud bang, and the mage Tiria had summoned a fifth-level ball of light, threw it, and exploded in the group of skeletons, blasting the surrounding skeletons into the air.
Look away! Look away! It turns out that these two guys are still masters! Seeing that they cooperate so skillfully, they are obviously an old pair.
The skeletons that rushed forward were quickly turned into bones by the combined killing of Noken's sword light and Tiria's light ball, and the rest of the skeletons saw it and retreated together.
"Haha! Noken Tiria, we are invincible!"
"Hehe, the dragon slayer warrior rescued the beautiful princess, I didn't expect that we finally waited for this day!
These two guys are already intoxicated by the beautiful future.
Linya really feels so cold, so cold, the story of the dragon slayer warrior in the fairy tale turned out to be like this?
It's really boring that I'm a rescued princess...... Anyway, I have to have a prince, and I actually let a few pirates save me, which is too cheap, right......
Noken kicked away the bones that stood in the way, and said proudly: "Your Royal Highness the beautiful princess, you have seen that the evil dragon has been killed by us, and the undead of the evil dragon's accomplices have also been destroyed by us!
As the two of them spoke, they walked over to Linya, and Noken suddenly stopped, crouched down, and grabbed an emerald with the two gold coins on the side, and stuffed it into his pocket.
Mage Tiria walked up to Linya, spread her hands, performed a respectful courtesy, and said flatteringly, "Your Royal Highness the beautiful Princess Linya, it is an honor to serve you!Ah, are you alright?"
Well, what should I do? Go back with them? That's not a good idea. Linya's eyes rolled and she came up with a solution, and Ying Ying smiled and said, "Your Excellency Master Tiria, you are so brave! Thank you very much, just ......"
Tiria saw Linya smiling at her, and she felt like her soul was about to float, but before she could finish speaking, she suddenly felt a tingling in her body.
Linya froze as she saw the tip of a sword poke out of Tiria's chest, stained with bright red blood!
"Oh, Tiria, I think you're mistaken!There is only one dragon slayer, and that is the great dragon slayer knight Noken! he heroically slain the dragon and rescued the beautiful princess!And the mage Tiria, he was unfortunately killed by the undead! This is the sword of the undead!" Noken laughed darkly behind Tiria.
Tiria looked at the sword that pierced his chest in disbelief, it was covered in rust, it was indeed the sword of the undead, but the person who pierced him with the sword was not the undead.
"Noken...... You...... Our friends for so many years...... You ......" Tiria clutched his blood-spurting chest and roared angrily, but his voice grew quieter.
Blood...... Blood...... The red blood, Linya only felt a burst of dazzling dizziness in front of her, and the pungent smell of blood almost fainted her!
The little princess's body seemed to be inherently afraid of blood, and Linya felt that she was suffocated for a while, almost out of breath, and her heart was tumbling and nauseating, which was extremely uncomfortable.
Noken let go of his grip on the sword, and Tiria fell with round eyes and a blanket of blood.
Noken clapped his hands casually, stepped over Tiria, and said with a smile on his face: "Your Royal Highness the beautiful princess, are you okay?Ah, this place is so dangerous, please leave here with me! I, the great dragon slayer knight Noken will definitely protect you with his life!"
Linya only felt a chill in her heart, and she almost froze her heart. Is this a man?" "You're a devil!" Linya said with a shudder, "You're not a man, you're a devil!"
"Ah, beautiful princess, what's wrong with you? I think you're misunderstood! I am sad that Tiria was killed by those abominable undead! These undead are so abominable that they use some evil magic to blind people's minds, but I am sure you will soon wake up from the illusions created by the undead!" said Noken with a blushing face and a heartbeat as he took another step forward.
"Don't come here!" Linya screamed, quickly summoning the Sword of Light in her hand.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, please don't do this, you must have seen some kind of vision, it is an evil spell used by the undead to divide us! Come here, I will protect you back to the ...... of Momiji"
Before Noken could finish his words, he was suddenly stunned again. Seem...... What wasn't quite right? When he lowered his head, he couldn't believe what was happening.
That sword, the sword he used just now, the rusty tip of the sword, actually penetrated through his chest at this moment!
Linya was also stunned, and at the moment she only felt fear, fear, and helplessness. She clutched the sword of light tightly and shrank in the corner and shuddered.
"Hehe, Noken, I think you're mistaken!There is only one dragon slayer warrior, and that is the great dragon slayer mage Tiria! He heroically slain the evil dragon and rescued the beautiful princess!And the Noken knight, he was unfortunately killed by the undead! This is the sword of the undead!" The voice of the dead Tiria came from behind him, smiling coldly.
"Tyria...... You...... You're not dead......" Noken said, clutching his chest, trembling.
"Of course, my dearest friend. We've been friends for years, aren't we familiar enough with each other?What kind of thing are you, do you think I really don't know?Noken, you're so naïve!Yes, there can only be one dragon slayer, but it's not like you, an idiot!" Tiria smirked.
"How is that possible...... I saw the sword pierce you...... You've known it for a long time...... "Blood seeped out of Noken's mouth and eyes, and from his ears and nose, like a demon from hell, terrible.
"Of course! I knew it when you deliberately crouched down to pick it up! You deliberately made me go to the front and sneak up on me from behind! Haha, Nokan, you're so stupid! I just used a magic that displaces my heart, you don't really think I'm going to die so easily, do you?"
"You...... You ......" Noken was speechless.
Tiria drew her sword, and Noken fell to the ground limply, still twitching and shaking.
Linya suddenly felt a sadness welling up in her heart.
Is this what humans are?
Is this our fellow human beings?
Linya suddenly wanted to laugh, it was really ridiculous.
Blood was still dripping from the tip of the sword. Tiria clutched the wound on her chest with one hand and her rusty sword in the other, and suddenly burst out laughing as she looked at Noken, who was still struggling for the last time.
"I'm the Dragon Slayer!"
Tiria raised the rusty sword in his hand and laughed wildly at the sky, but suddenly blood spurted out again.
"Huh?!" Tiria screamed, took two steps back, and fell to her knees, "Impossible! Isn't my magic working? This can't be!" Tyria roared, blood gushing from the wound in her chest.
"Hah...... Ha...... Raise...... Force...... Second...... Yours...... Magic...... Failed......" Noken laughed word by word in a pool of blood, and the voice, as if from hell, made people's hearts tremble.
"Damn!" Tiria raised his sword in anger, but his actions only exacerbated the cracking.
The sword fell down with a clatter, and Tiria's body lost its balance and fell silently, falling on top of Noken.
It's over, it's over.
Linya smiled sadly, it seems that I, the princess, will not be rescued by the brave dragon slayer warrior today.
Tears flowed uncontrollably.
