Chapter 236: Sword and Scabbard
Bang!
Bang!
Treed's fist slammed into the invisible wall, punch and punch.
But no matter how hard he tried his strength, he couldn't break through the cage that Xia Ming set for him before leaving, just like when he was trapped in a town shrouded in treachery, no matter how he tried, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't leave that place.
The results are now ...... Is this the case again?
It was as if he was forever trapped by something intangible and tangible, never able to really go out, and could only be left behind as a spectator and couldn't help.
But......
Treed gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
It's- not the ending I wanted!!
Boom——!
The cage shattered, the air roared, an invisible sublimation was born from the soul, and the spiritual energy of the Ascending Leap shattered the closed door that had been blocking the threshold of the sixth order.
The violent tremors alarmed Ruger, and he hurried into the room to see Treed who was overflowing with psionic energy.
"Have you broken through to the sixth order? Wait, what about Xia Ming? Luger asked quickly, "Didn't you come to talk to him, don't you ......?"
Treed turned to look at him: "Ruger, Xia Ming went to the Arctic Ice Sheet before us, so next, I'm going to trouble you." ”
"Understood."
Ruger walked up to him and grabbed him by the shoulder.
The space around the two seemed to suddenly burst into strange ripples and ripples, and after a split second of breathing, their bodies had disappeared into the room and moved thousands of miles away.
The desire to break the lockdown gives Terred the ability to force his way through and break all obstacles.
And Ruger has also awakened his ability during this time.
Not teleportation, but a teleportation-like effect, and in the months he has followed Theresia, Ruger has seen many tragedies, many places that need him, and need the help and salvation of their embers of psionics.
But the Northland is too big, and they rush to one place, which often means they can't get to another place in time to carry out rescue.
He often regretted that he was beyond his power, and with such a strong desire, he awakened a teleportation-like ability.
At this moment, he was rushing to the Arctic Ice Sheet with Terred in a rapid chain of teleportations every thousand miles, and he hoped that he and Tered would be in time.
However, at this time, Xia Ming had already come to Theresia's side.
Next to the Valkyrie who raised the sword of the Red Flame to him.
"Xia Ming, you shouldn't have come."
Girl, no, the domineering tyrant was squinting at him, exuding an unstoppable majesty and momentum.
Xia Ming looked at the girl's cold expression in silence, looked at her eyes that had become dark, and finally his gaze fell on the tip of the sword that was sharply entwined with flames.
"So to speak."
He took a deep breath, but didn't take a fighting stance, just took a step forward, closer to the shimmering tip of the sword.
"Even I, in your eyes now, am just an existence that can be sacrificed at any time, right?"
"I gave you a chance, Xia Ming."
Theresia looked at him coldly, and the tip of her sword was aimed straight at him, trembling in distress without the slightest hesitation.
"I knocked you unconscious with my own hands, and let people send you back to the safety of the rear, and you yourself just wanted to catch up and bump into my hands. Now there is only one line between me and the Ice King, as long as I sacrifice one more person, use the soul and life of a seventh-order, no, maybe even two sixth-order psionics as a sacrifice, and turn them into my flames, I can defeat him, win this game, and achieve the great cause of killing the Ice King. ”
"But Theresia, don't you notice that your flame is no longer so bright and so bright and red, and don't you see a hint of darkness in your blazing flame?"
"I have to win, Xia Ming, you know me best, and at this point, you know that I can't accept defeat."
"Once, when I was cowardly and avoided, it was you who encouraged me, supported me, and made me believe in myself, even if I didn't believe in myself, I had to believe in yourself."
"Later, when I failed to draw my sword, it was you who made me regain my confidence and have the courage to face my fate again, and I pulled out the sword of the Red Flame and inherited the power of my ancestors."
"Later, it was you who pretended to be assimilated by that evil dragon, in order to make me firm in my determination and carry out my beliefs, in order to make me no longer dependent on you, so that I can have real self-confidence, you forced me to draw my sword against you, and you made me a Valkyrie who is different from my ancestors and no longer depends on others, and truly relies only on myself and only myself."
"Once, I relied on my brother, on everyone in the embers, on you, and it was you who destroyed my dependence on you step by step, so that I didn't need you, I didn't need you, you created a truly strong and confident me, a domineering and majestic me."
"Xia Ming, you are the one who made me who I am today."
"I thank you, I love you deeply, but have you ever thought that from the moment you forced me to forcibly draw a sword against you, a certain bottom line bound in my heart was forcibly torn apart."
"From the moment you decided to kill Rose and replace him, did you ever think that it was precisely because of the lack of his fuel, in order to make up for the gap between me and the Ice King, in order to complete the great cause of killing him, and achieve my prestige, I had to raise my sword against you again, kill you, and sacrifice you?"
"Oh, what a ridiculous reincarnation and fate."
Theresia shook her head and sneered, holding her sword, and approached Xia Ming step by step.
Xia Ming didn't resist, didn't struggle, just stood in place and looked at her quietly, looking at her gently.
"Theresia, I know, I know all of this, so I'm here for you, for moments like this."
"Even if you have been polluted by the embers of pitch-black death and malice at this moment, even if you have forgotten your original intention, your sword blade has become sharper than ever, not only at the enemy, but also at me, but still remember our agreement at that time?"
"I am your scabbard."
"Isn't it my mission to contain your edge, your glaring eyes, all your filth and darkness?"
He opened his hands, bare his chest, and looked at Theresia, who was approaching him step by step, the tip of the sword already approaching his chest, and said calmly:
"Come, Theresia, take my life and turn my soul and psionic energy into your power."
"I am willing to be your flame and help you, to purify you, to accomplish you...... Kill the Ice King. ”
The chill was already at hand, and he felt a burning sting in his skin through his clothes, and Theresia showed no signs of trembling on his last farewell words.
Without hesitation, she raised her sword and aimed it at his neck.
Syllable!
The Red Flame Sword spun in the air, and the broad spine of the sword slammed into the back of Xia Ming's neck, causing him to almost faint and lose all mobility.
"I said that I hate the so-called reincarnation and fate the most, Xia Ming, do you think you have to accept it if you choose self-sacrifice?"
Theresia turned around, flamboyant and domineering.
"How dare you underestimate this Valkyrie."
