Chapter 69: The Feather of Chaos
Tick, tick, tick.
Falling droplets wet her cheeks, she looked up and saw a torrential downpour of rain falling from the sky.
It's the rain in the courtyard, and it's the rain that washes everything.
She stood here, stretching out her hand to feel the loneliness of the primeval world.
[Alas......]
At this moment, a sigh came from nowhere.
She followed the direction of the sound and saw a man in heavy armor standing in the rain, decadent and staggering.
[It's over...... It's all over......]
The man's voice sounded again, and no hope could be heard inside.
[No...... It's not over yet......]
A voice came from below, like a tormented soul in a tower of sinners. She looked down and saw corpses, countless corpses, shattered, soaked in the pale blue rain, staining the ground with blood.
[Iron Wing cannot perish. 】
You must lead us forward, General. 】
The corpses were talking to the men, and the muttered words turned into heavy shackles, binding the men layer after layer.
【For the sake of family ......】
【Family ......】
[For the Glory ......]
【Glory ......】
The man repeated the words of the corpses, something he couldn't let go.
[But it's over, and I can't protect all this......]
Finally, the man shook his head.
[No...... It's not over yet......]
The corpses stirred, they began to gather, to condense. Fusion, finally. Turned into a feather, an ominous feather. Feathers from chaos, taboos of temptation.
【Come on...... Adult ......】
The feather made a sound, as if countless people were singing the praises of despair together.
[Use this power to protect ......]
They seduced the man, and he stretched out his hand and held the feather in the palm of his hand.
"Stop!"
She wanted to stop. It is a forbidden thing that must not be touched, and it is a curse that will make people lose everything, and even make it impossible to continue to live as a human being.
【......】
However, the man just looked at her, his eyes full of coldness. He swallowed the feather resolutely.
"Yikes!"
For a moment, the wind of chaos spread. She closed her eyes tightly and let out a small scream.
Then it was silent again.
Tick, tick, tick.
The rain did not stop, and when I opened my eyes, the man had disappeared in place, and the pouring rain was falling from the sky, blurring the vision.
[Woo...... Woo...... Woo ......]
I don't know where I heard a cry. She followed the sound and saw a girl sitting on the ground crying. The girl hid her face, and the hiss of crying in the heavy rain cracked her lungs. It's as if the whole world is in despair.
She reached out to comfort her, but at that moment, her body began to feel light. Like a balloon in a festival, it keeps flying towards the sky - until the consciousness is reversed......
"Whew!"
She opened her eyes. I found myself lying in bed with the morning sun shining outside the window. From time to time, the chirping of birds came.
"Dream ...... ......"
She sat up and muttered to herself on the bed......
It's a ruin on the outskirts of southern Randall. Only broken stone bricks, charred wood, and overgrown roads still tell of what was once a small fortress.
However, many years ago, it was abandoned and turned into a home for wild animals.
Now, the paradise that should have been untouched has ushered in a few uninvited guests. It was a horse-drawn carriage, waddling down a potholed road that had fallen into disrepair.
"Here we are, here it is. ”
Stepping out of the car was a knight in silver armor.
"I see, this is the place chosen by Lord Germain, it is indeed a place that is not easy to find. ”
Then came a middle-aged man who was about to enter old age.
"I'm glad you're here, and while I'm confident that this place won't be found, you'll still need to build some of the necessary defenses. ”
Jermain nodded and said.
"Magic traps, undead guards, anti-magic arrays, and then Kuta and Leia set up some poison and crossbow bolt traps, what do you think?"
Fein said, taking a look at his surroundings.
"Very satisfied. ”
Germaine nodded, leading Finn and the two girls into the interior of the ruins.
"Huh?"
However, on the damp earth, a new row of footprints caught his attention.
"I'm sorry, Finn, it looks like I'm going to take my words back, this may not be a safe place. ”
"Don't worry, my lord, your luck hasn't been good, it looks like we need some guards, the Flesh Summon. ”
Fein unscrewed a small bottle and poured out the rotten pieces of meat from it. The pieces of flesh quickly melted into the ground, and with complex spells, a large amount of blood oozed from the ground, and then began to bulge, and one by one stitching monsters emerged from the ground, guarding Germain and the others. ???: "Hmph, inferior corpse monsters, fakes made by ancient necromancers imitating the Chimera. Come on, let's show you what the real thing is. ”
With a sound from nowhere, a strangely shaped beast jumped from the top of the ruins.
"What...... What!?"
Finn was shocked for what appeared before him was a monster that was too strange—a lion with goat's horns on its head, a bird's wings and a bat's on its back, a girl's face on its chest, and a snake on its tail.
The monster wielded its chaotic claws, tore the stitching monsters to pieces with three strikes and five divisions, then stood there and whispered at them.
"Who?"
Germaine frowned, what was in front of him was beyond his expectations. He turned to confirm the direction he had come, only to find that a man with a large shield and spear had gone around at some point, blocking the way out.
"You don't need to know who I am, because you're going to die here. ”
A young girl stepped out of the shadows, with snow-white hair and red eyes, none other than Kashadra from the Order.
Although she was bewitched by Yu Ji to kill Leah, but for the android girl, just saving her life has already made her think hard, just during the civil strife in Randall, led by Hanufain, Mage City launched a deadly encirclement and suppression of the Chimera Order entrenched in Simoye, although the Great Sage does not care about the civil strife between humans, but the organization that supports the Daughter of Chaos is another matter.
For a while, the Chimera Order became a street rat, abandoned by Simoyer, hunted down by Mage City, and the former alchemy workshop was reduced to ruins, and it turned out that Yuhime did not care about his followers, and the organization that had finally entrenched in Simoye had to go into the shadows again.
Eventually, Kasadra and Tredy led the Followers to Randall, where they managed to escape the mage's pursuit and prepare to find a suitable opportunity to kill Leah Farain.
However, Germain and the others did not know all this, and Finn's first reaction after seeing Kashadra was to shout:
"You're Leah Farain!?"
"Huh?"
This came as a surprise to the priestess, who had never expected to hear the name of her enemy in such an inaccessible ruin.
"Léa, Kuta, drive away the man at the door to cover Lord Jemain's retreat. I'm here to stop that monster!"
The enemy was so powerful that the monster that had eliminated a few stitching monsters in a split second would be enough to kill everyone present, and Finn immediately arranged a strategy to cover Germain's exit.
"Wait, you're Leah Farain's enemies?"
The other party's reaction was funny, and he seemed to be afraid of Leah, the goddess of time and space, which made Kashadra's eyes light up.
At the same time, Germain also raised a hand to signal that his subordinates did not need to panic. Although the other party seems to be not good, if you look closely, it is not difficult to find that the clothes of these two people are covered with dust, and their equipment is more or less damaged, and it is obvious that they have been fighting all the way.
[Broken equipment, inaccessible lines of action, these people are being pursued by someone, obviously I didn't give such an order, then they are naturally royalists who are evading.] Besides, that girl is too similar to the last daughter of the Farainn family, what kind of story should there be......
So ......]
Thinking of this, he already had a conclusion in his heart.
"So you're the little lady's enemy, aren't you?"
He stepped forward and said.
"Ah, yes, I wish I could skin her and drain her blood. ”
Casadra gritted her teeth in response.
"Huh. ”
Jermain smiled, though his luck had not been good lately, but today was perhaps an exception.
December 20, 929 in the Randall New Calendar, for the royalists, this day is the day when little Lori wakes up. On the other hand, however, this day was the day of the meeting of two forces, the Rebel Party and the Chimera, and Germain and Kashadra. (To be continued......)
