"Terre...... Thea ......"

Xia Ming fell to the snow with a pop, his pupils contracted violently and dilated.

He could clearly see that her pupils were still dark as if resentment and hatred had condensed, and the flames burning on her body clearly burned with a dark and dark base.

On his way here, he had thought about Theresia's choice, and he had thought that she would raise her sword against herself.

He had planned to use his own death, with his own willing sacrifice, to turn into that blazing flame to try to save and purify Theresia's maliciously polluted heart.

What he didn't expect was that she chose to refuse.

Ruthlessly and brutally kill all followers, using their psionic powers and lives to forge their own powerful Valkyries.

The domineering self does not treat human life as human life, but only treats everything as a pawn and a game.

She raised her sword against him again, but only knocked him to the ground, and the force was not like murder, but more like complaining, complaining about why he was disobedient and ran to such a dangerous place to die.

A thought suddenly rose in his heart.

All these days he had been trying to get Theresia back to what she used to be, he wanted to save her, he wanted her to stay the same.

Is this really a salvation or a ...... Arrogant?

Moreover, Has Theresia really changed?

"Xia Ming, you listen to me!"

With her back to him, Theresia flicked her sword with a slam of her sword, plunging into the icy snow, melted by the crimson flames that rose up a murderous mist.

"As the Valkyrie's scabbard, a humanoid purifier, killing the Ice King is such a trivial matter, it's not your turn to sacrifice yourself for me, get out of the way, and wait for the Valkyrie to cut off the Ice King's head and bring you victory, understand!"

With that, she soared into the sky, her outstretched mecha wings erupting into roaring flames, and the white world covered in ice and snow once again had a vivid color, which was a flowing crimson.

"Red Flame's Valkyrie, you, have no chance of winning."

Above the sky, the Ice King, who had always been like a cold machine, suddenly made a sound, which was extremely cold and indifferent, unable to distinguish between men and women, and unable to distinguish feelings.

A thick white mist suddenly enveloped the land, a strange fog that made people lose their way and couldn't see the road ahead, just like the fog that Theresia encountered when she first met Xia Ming.

However, this kind of fog can no longer trap her, can not block her vision, one after another red flames like burning fire in this boundless spread of the fog, she released all the power of her body, from the wings of the mecha, from the vent, from behind her red flames like a flaming phoenix sprinting towards the sky!

Zheng ——!

She rushed to the Ice King, like a phoenix burning into the sky.

She wields the sword of red flames, like a king commanding all the flames in the world, exercising supreme authority, a sword, sweeping the universe!

All the fog has dissipated!

However, in the face of such a grandiose and deadly attack, the Ice King only slowly raised his hand, and grabbed the Red Flame Sword with an easy stretch of his hand as if he were probing for something.

"Kill the man below as a sacrifice, you still have a chance of overpowering me."

He said coldly, as if he were stating an extremely objective and irrefutable fact, and like an emotionless machine, calculating the probability accurate to the decimal point.

"These two."

He looked down.

The fog dissipated, and two figures appeared from the calm space on the desolate snowfield after the collapse of the snow-capped mountains.

It was Ruger and Treed who came in a hurry.

"Just enough for you to escape from me."

Theresia smiled contemptuously and pulled the Red Flame Sword out of the Ice King's hand.

"So you can speak, Ice King, you know so much about my abilities, it seems that the first generation of Valkyries made you suffer, right?"

"Then do you think—" she slashed at his head, "I'm going to be no match for her!" ”

Bell ——!

A huge tremor like a flood bell spread out from the sky like rolling thunder, making the eardrum burst.

The Ice King's face was expressionless, or his face was obscured by the armor at all, and he slowly raised his hand and grabbed the flaming sword that was slashed at his helmet.

Click.

A crack suddenly emerged from the sword of the Red Flame Sword.

Click.

Another crack.

Then there was a click, like a clatter of glass shattering, all at the same time.

In front of Theresia, the Ice King broke her sword little by little.

The sword of the Red Flame that gave her strength.

"With the lives of the next three people as sacrifices, your chances of defeating me can be increased to ten percent, or you can choose to kill one or two of them to try to escape from me, or—"

"Die at my hands now."

The Ice King spoke indifferently about Theresia's ending, or rather, forced her to make a choice.

Do you choose the slim odds of winning, or run away, or die......

If she didn't want to die, then she had to choose one of Xia Ming, Terred, and Ruger to kill, and if she still wanted to seize that little hope to defeat and kill him, then killing one of them was not enough.

Xia Ming is her beloved.

Tried was the one she grew up with.

Ruger was the former leader of the Embers that adopted her and raised her, and later obeyed her orders with great loyalty.

Even if her feelings for Luger are weaker than the other two, the burden of killing him will be much lighter, but as long as she breaks the bottom line of her heart, she wields a butcher's knife at the first person.

Then it doesn't seem so unacceptable to continue killing the second, the third.

What a cruel choice.

However, Theresia was not prepared to kill any of them, and she was not prepared to sacrifice any of them.

Xia Ming felt that she had changed, her brother felt that she had changed, and everyone felt that she had changed, as if she had been corrupted by the abyss of power and power, and her body was covered with pitch-black and evil scales, turning into a brutal and terrifying dragon.

She has gone mad, and killing the Ice King is just an attempt to accomplish this great thing that no one has done before, and she wants to replace the Ice King to dominate the Northland and the whole world, and become a real tyrant.

She has tragically fallen into the spiral and fate of turning into a dragon like Rose's dying curse.

But no, it's not.

It doesn't matter if you become paranoid, or if you become strong and domineering.

In fact, she never forgot her dream, that simple and unpretentious little dream.

Kill the Ice King, end this mission, and then embrace your own happy life.

Xia Ming is dead, his brother is dead, how can there be happiness in such a life?

Using their sacrifice to achieve the end of killing the Ice King is a real failure for her, a complete failure.

She has always had a question in her heart, she doesn't feel that she is not as strong as her ancestors.

Nor did she feel that the people she had sacrificed to kill had given her less spiritual energy than those of her ancestors who had chosen to sacrifice themselves.

It was almost the most powerful and elite group of psionics in the Northlands, dying at her hands with the strongest and most hateful resentment, and even a trace of darkness in her flames.

So how did the Valkyrie, who was not as powerful as her, be able to compete with such a powerful Ice King, and even seriously injure him?

She guessed how the ancestors had done it.

Since the crimson flame born of spiritual energy can burn a prairie fire fueled by other people's lives, then the flame fueled by one's own life must be able to burn through the sky shrouded in twilight, right?

Zheng ——!

In Theresia's hand, a brand-new sword of red flame emerged from the flames of the stone's flowing gold.

Life, will, psionics, soul.

The atmosphere trembled, and the crimson flames were so blazing that they covered the sky, as if the whole world was burning under this blazing flame.

There was no more darkness in her pupils, and she was surrounded by flames of light.

"Ice King, you think that crushing the Sword of Red Flame will make me panic, and you think that in the face of your threat, I will have to make a choice under your rules? Kill them, or be killed by you? ”

She raised her sword high again, and the sword of red flame with brilliant light flowed, revealing invincible confidence and domineering.

"Then I'll tell you how this ice lump can kill you without sacrificing them!"

In the face of the Ice King's cold threat, Theresia laughed freely and happily, and slashed at the Ice King's head with a sword!

Syllable.

The rope that bound her hair snapped, and the long, beautiful red hair fluttered freely in the bright flames again.

Boom!

The armor covering the Ice King's head was completely knocked away by her sword, and finally revealed the true face of the Ice King hidden under the snow-colored armor.

Long fiery red hair that also fluttered in the air, emerald eyes that were more beautiful than the lake, and—

It was a beautiful face that resembled her face seven or eight points.

The countenance of an ancestor Valkyrie.
