Chapter 227: You Were Not Like This Before
As he spoke, another demonic beast found the civilian hiding in the building and stealing his life, and was about to take his life, but Xia Ming took away his life with a glowing sword.
This movement gradually attracted the attention of the group of demonic beasts below, and some of the demonic beasts raised their heads and found the two people in the sky.
The Beastmaster slowly raised his giant head, revealing a pair of ice-white and ruthless eyes as huge as copper bells under the constantly falling blizzard.
Theresia's face was displeased.
"Xia Ming, you attracted it."
"Theresia, give me a positive answer to my question!"
Xia Ming didn't look at the group of beasts that were attracted below, gritted his teeth and stared at her eyes, his tone was unprecedentedly hard.
He had never been so cruel to her.
Theresia's face subconsciously revealed a trace of grievance, and then turned into a trace of determination, she met his gaze without flinching, and he suppressed his angry eyes, for a long time, for a long time.
She sighed.
"I set off alone, I just didn't want you to find out, but I didn't expect to be caught up by you."
"What am I waiting for?"
She smiled lightly and said:
"Xia Ming, didn't you already guess that the Ice King's spiritual energy would give these magical beasts the spiritual energy to break through their own limits, making them even more powerful. I'm waiting, waiting for that Beastmaster to successfully break through and transform to the seventh order, and then kill it. ”
The beasts below had stopped moving forward, raised their heads one after another, and looked at the two in the air.
They knew that there were many lives hiding under these layers of paper buildings, but the two people in the sky were too ostentatious to take them seriously.
Of course, Warcraft has no thoughts, no thoughts, and doesn't really think like that, but compared to the humans hiding in the building, the two big living people in the sky are obviously better targets to destroy and kill.
Some of the monsters gave up looking for civilians who were hunting the town and flew into the sky.
Xia Ming's side appeared like a halo of holy lightsabers, brilliant and dazzling, this is the true light of hope, sword after sword fell from the sky, piercing the bodies of these demonic beasts.
Xia Ming looked at the smile on Theresia's face.
"You...... Can't you hear the prayers of those below you? ”
"Xia Ming, killing a seventh-order beast king has given me far more spiritual energy than killing a sixth-order beastmaster, and I don't want to give up this opportunity to become significantly stronger." She replied earnestly.
"That'...... What about the lives of innocent civilians? ”
"It's ...... Necessary sacrifices. ”
"Necessary sacrifices?" Xia Ming's fists clenched unconsciously.
"If I don't gain enough power to defeat and kill the Ice King, then not only them, but all the people on this snowy field will die, and even the entire world will be destroyed under the Ice King's cold."
Theresia calmly explained to him:
"So I have to cherish every opportunity to become stronger, Xia Ming. I know it's not good to ignore their prayers and sacrifice their lives, but compared to the lives of the entire Northern Plains and all the people in the whole world, out of rational considerations, I have to make such a choice, because the gap between me and the Ice King is too big, too big. ”
"With me now, with the sword and fire in my hand now, I don't see any chance of winning. To defeat him and kill him, I have to become stronger, kill more and more powerful monsters, and gain more power. Xia Ming, I have to make such a choice, I can only make this choice, sacrificing a small number of people to save the vast majority. ”
"So you can be indifferent to the prayers and prayers below?" Xia Ming's fists clenched even tighter.
"I can't hear anything in my ears that slanders me or insults me." Theresia said calmly, "This includes any praise, praise, and prayer for all these supplications. ”
"I just want to kill the Ice King, end this fate, be freed from this responsibility and mission, and live a peaceful and happy life with you and my brother. Xia Ming, I hope you can understand me. ”
"So, the lives of these people have become a cold number in your eyes, like NPCs in the game, you can watch them die without emotion, right?"
Meeting Xia Ming's eyes, Theresia's lips paused for a moment, and a trace of imperceptible hesitation flashed in her eyes, but she quickly became firm and admitted:
"Yes."
It's a necessary sacrifice, it's a choice that has to be made.
She saw that Xia Ming's eyes became very low in an instant, very lost, very, very disappointed, and her heart also tightened and ached, but she couldn't hold back, she had to let Xia Ming realize this cold and cruel reality and truth here.
"You know, Theresia, although I haven't met the Valkyrie of the Ancestors, I've heard the story of her sealing her inner feelings and turning into an absolutely cold machine in order to save the Northlands. Your current indifferent and ruthless appearance seems to me to be no different from my ancestors. ”
"I am different from her, she sacrifices herself for the people of the Northland, I want to save the people of the Northland, but I am also for myself. Rather, my selfish and indifferent watching the civilians below die just proves that I have not been assimilated by her spiritual energy and will, and I have always firmly followed my heart to be myself. ”
"Do you really think so?"
Xia Ming looked into her eyes and asked, "Theresia, do you remember the joy and joy in your heart when you saved me when we first met, when you treated me as a civilian who was about to be frozen and swallowed by the mist?" ”
"You weren't like that back then."
Theresia was stunned.
Xia Ming didn't look at him anymore, and turned into a holy and dazzling golden light and flew towards the town below.
Necessary sacrifices, sacrificing a small part to save the vast majority of the rest.
He hated such lofty rhetoric.
He remembered his parents, who had worked hard all their lives as civilians in the hope that the brothers would grow up healthy and healthy, only to be killed by the aftermath simply because of the battle between the psykers.
Afterwards, apart from some compensation, there was no accountability, and there was no trial.
The Tinder Psionic who caused such a tragedy was certainly hateful, but the other psyker who fought with him without reining in his psionic energy and causing the aftermath to spread and cause such heavy casualties was not punished afterwards.
The brothers angrily ran to ask for it, but the reply was "We're sorry for your parents' sacrifices, but Iwabi-sama's wife and daughter also died because of the sneak attack by the Tinder criminal, so ......"
Therefore, the result is that this psychicic master from the Special Administration Bureau not only did not receive the slightest punishment, but only symbolically came out to apologize to the public, but received countless care and condolences because of the tragedy of the death of his wife and daughter.
And his parents, who are really just numbers, die when they die, how can they severely punish this psychic who encountered tragedy because of the death of these civilians?
As if a tragedy in a civilian being is not a tragedy.
The beast king below had not yet transformed and broken through to the seventh order, and Xia Ming was surrounded by countless beautiful light blades, cutting melons and vegetables all the way to kill the gathered group of demonic beasts and beasts, and rushed to the beast king.
He is also a sixth-order, and with [Evil Energy Devouring] and [Psionic Disillusionment], he undoubtedly has the ability to kill this beastmaster.
"Theresia, in order to wait for this beastmaster to be promoted to the seventh rank, you can treat civilians as numbers and sit back and watch them die without being indifferent, but I'm sorry, I don't want to wait, I can't do it."
"I'm going to kill this beast king now, the beast king who can turn into the source of your strength, it's good for you to stop me, just kill me, I have to slaughter this beast in front of you today!"
