Chapter 748: The Dust Settles (2-in-1)
Silent father and daughter.
In the drifting snow, they met each other's eyes.
At this point, is it time to say something?
But neither side said anything, only silence.
Faced with her father, who had been completely assimilated by the Star Beast and transformed into a god-killing spearhead, Elyse was so stingy that she didn't even want to say a word.
Maybe in her heart, she has never regarded the other party as a father, nor has she ever felt a little bit of fatherly love, and for her, it is not so difficult to let go of things that do not exist.
"Return ——!"
The Roman emperor did not speak, his throat was cut in the white elm's folding sword style, his trachea and throat were damaged, and he could not speak a word at all.
In place of the opening was a clone of the Star Beast, and the Emperor's limbs and shoulders grew a strange other head, a strange chimera made of flesh and stone at the same time.
It roared at Elyse, "Come back!" ”
She's just fulfilling the mission she's been given, and in fact she knows what kind of role she plays, as an heir and an avenger.
Elyse raised the star-slashing knife: "Come and get it yourself." ”
Both have similar identities but make very different choices.
And then really died.
However, Elyse's knife is different, it is not an ordinary slash, but from the god-killing spear, the power obtained after the domestication of the star-casting duke, it is also an extremely high mystery.
Even after attaining wisdom and spirituality, its will is still engraved with loyalty to its Creator and fulfills its mission.
The air began to tremble strangely, and the vibration was like an ultrasonic machine bombarding the area at a high frequency, and even the rising rock slabs were disturbed by the vibrations, and there were cracks under Elyse's feet that spread to the periphery, so that people could see that the source of the tremors came from her.
Angry resentment overflowed, as if denouncing thieves and robbers.
With just one sword, he cut off the canonized arm.
This is in stark contrast to Michael, who fell into the mortal world because he loved others and walked with people.
It was as if the tide was rising in his eyes, and the sea water was submerging his eyes, and his power climbed to the highest point...... Then she swung her knife in the air, and slashed horizontally.
With the addition of the God-Slaying Black Flame, its power should not be underestimated.
Elyse was different, the hardness of the Star Beast's shell and god-killing power were as fragile as paper paste in front of her blade.
"Filthy earth needs to be bleached and cleaned!"
Hearing this, Bai Yu instantly hallucinated the storm song, and a strong sense of déjà vu opened.
It let out a faint roar.
Everything in front of us, including the Roman Emperor, was frozen in the snow, and at the end of the swing of the sword, both organic and inorganic matter were torn apart and turned into powder.
She thinks the same way, she just needs to cut it, and she doesn't have to think about it so much.
Absolute predators.
The Star Beast roared forward and charged.
The star beast roared angrily, it also felt the breath of the natural enemy on the other party's body, so it desperately began to multiply the body, the pitch-black red flame burned, it used its power to arm itself, the pitch-black stone also tore the flesh and blood, and the original humanoid Roman emperor changed his appearance, becoming neither human nor ghost, and his body size expanded and gigantic, but the same appearance was more and more inclined to the falling star war beast that ravaged the land in the demigod era.
The Emperor divided a star beast as a shield to guard in front of him, and then it was also broken, along with the slashed pieces, as well as half of the Roman Emperor's arm, the blood sprayed like ink, although the blood was stopped in three seconds, and the broken arm was filled by the star stone that was differentiated and multiplied, but the result was still incredible.
Within a certain range, there was not a single bit of air flow, and it was quiet as if the world was dead, even gravity had disappeared, and countless rubble and rubble were suspended out of thin air.
Fredrica and Angelica picked up the white elm and immediately ran beyond the collapsed walls, fleeing as fast as they could from the area that was about to become a battlefield.
"If you want......
No matter what angle his thinking deviated at this time, two hands suddenly grabbed his left and right from behind his back.
"Everything, to the Great Will!"
In the Middle Ages, there was a torture instrument called the Iron Maiden, which looked like a humanoid coffin, and inside the torture instrument there were dozens of steel spikes, and when locked in it, the body would be pierced with dozens of wounds, and usually did not die immediately, but died of organ failure after massive blood loss.
Two rock slabs rose from the ground, one on the left and one on the right, enveloping Elyse like bread, and countless spikes protruding from the slabs.
She doesn't seem to be a pure swordsman, because the most taboo thing for a swordsman is to be slow, if the world changes color before swinging the sword, wouldn't it be a grandiose way to tell others that they should be embankmentd in advance? The most important thing for the sword to be unsheathed is to be fast, and the one who snatches is the first to be the first.
The knife does not need to have a will of its own, it only needs to kill the target.
Just as they had run less than twenty meters away, the god-killing spears who couldn't wait had already launched an attack.
Hidden on the skin of the back under the light armor, the tattoo is hot, and the phantom of a beast emerges.
Rather, she's a knife, a cleaner to clean up this god-killing spearhead.
Absolute restraint.
There was no vertical and horizontal sword qi, no flashing sword rays, slashing in the air, and I couldn't feel the regular flow of power, but in the moment of swinging the sword, the sound disappeared.
Elyse had a trace of emotion in her heart, but it was just a trace of it.
Bai Yu thought that he could do it himself, but that was at the cost of losing all his attack power after folding the sword.
It was snowing.
Elysée raised the Star Slashing Sword, she had never used any swordsmanship before, but it was incredible that the time engraved on the sword began to flow back to her soul when she held it after she had accepted all of her inherited memories.
"You can't stop it!"
A snowflake stopped on the tip of Slasher's blade, staining the blade with a hint of frost.
Bite~
Behind the girl, the shadow of the second beast awakens.
The blade shook, and the gauntlet made a slight crashing sound, like teeth chattering up and down.
With the addition of the second beast, Elyse realized that she was standing on the edge of a precipice and a loss of control.
She is not a star caster, she has just been inherited, and she is still unable to use all her powers perfectly.
The tamed five beasts are still unruly, it is extremely difficult to make them completely submitted, her cultivation is not enough, and her will is not enough, awakening the second beast is the limit......
She couldn't even control the power and mystery that was wrapped around the knife.
Simply, she no longer tried to hold the knife again.
Instead, facing the charging star beast, he gave up all his stance, released his palm, raised it over his shoulder, and threw out the star-slashing knife as if he were throwing a spear.
At that moment, Elyse released not like a knife, but like a supersonic fighter, it panicked, tearing the sound barrier the moment it got out of its hand, and the expanded invisible realm also directly tore a bright gap and passage in space.
The shattered space swallowed up the atmosphere, forming a tornado storm heading inward, the blade of which was like an eye of a typhoon in the center, engulfing everything around it, and turning into a hurricane that swept everything within twenty meters.
The long knife silently pierced through the body of the Star Beast, and a huge hole with a diameter of five meters appeared in the center of its huge body, and the stones and rubble and even the snow that were swept into the hurricane turned into sharp blades, wrapped in power to continuously cut and cut the stones and flesh on the surface of the Falling Star War Beast's body, as if it was a swift leap.
The star beast fell to the ground in a daze.
Blood and a strange black liquid spilled on the ground, gurgling and flowing down the ravines of the battlefield.
Then it turned its head, its claws clasped to the ground, and moved its body continuously, leaving its back to Elyse.
…… Is this an attempt to escape?
The two little heads that poked out secretly saw the incredulity in each other's eyes.
Angelica couldn't imagine that this god-killing spearhead who once killed demigods was like killing pigs actually knew how to weigh the pros and cons?
Fredrica was amazed that it would flee out of fear.
At this moment, the soldier's hurried and embarrassed escape behavior made everyone realize that it was not so powerful and invincible, and that it had gained wisdom at the same time, it was also planted with the seeds of cowardice and the instinct called survival.
It tried to survive, but by the time it turned its back on the enemy, its life was no longer its own.
The long knife went and returned, and the star slash was a spiritual knife that fell from the sky and pierced into the ground, and the blade was aimed at the star beast, intercepting its retreat.
At the same time, a foot stepped on its back, and black blood splattered out, staining the girl's dress and armor.
The star beast let out a strange scream that no one could understand, and the chaotic linguistic center was a testament to how bad it was at this point.
Elysée drew her knife and slashed it.
The outer shell of the Star Beast's skull is sliced open.
Beneath the falling black stone, a human face was revealed, and the mutilated Emperor lay on the ground, gradually transforming back into a human form as his life dissipated.
No matter how dirty the earth was, they were still so pure white, and the coldness of the snow seemed to awaken the emperor's gaze that was gradually losing focus, and the pale silver eyes reflected the dark night sky.
His eyes looked at Elyse, and there was confusion and confusion in his eyes, like a child who had just woken up and was overwhelmed.
Then, he opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but his throat was already ruined, and he could not say a word, only a hoarse voice.
Elyse raised her knife in silence, and she paused.
I don't know if the Roman emperor remembered her, and I don't know if he finally regained a trace of humanity and regained his human identity.
Maybe it is, maybe it isn't.
Elyse asked a bland question in her heart—do you have any last words?
Then she saw the Emperor's silence, and his eyes, his mood wonderfully peaceful.
Never mind.
She thought to herself.
Don't ask.
Blood splattered from the long knife, staining the red snow on the ground and her long snow-silver hair, which fluttered in the wind.
……
【The Godslayer has been killed】

【Exclusive Outfit Enhanced】
【……】
Bai Yu looked at the series of prompts, but he was not in the mood to sort out these pop-up information at this time.
He recovered from his injuries after pouring two large red bottles, and at this point he got up and walked through the wall, looking into the center of the battlefield where it ended.
Faced with the canonization of the crippled state, I thought it would be a bitter battle, but Elyse didn't shed even a drop of blood.
It was her father who killed, but she didn't shed a single tear.
The girl standing in the ruins, looking up at the snowy night sky, her silhouette in the faint moonlight and firelight is thrilling, the color of blood and snow is contrasting, she turns her cheeks sideways, and her clear eyes reflect the city of Rome after a night of upheaval.
Angelica tries to rush over to give Elyse a hug, but is hugged by Frey.
Bai Yu didn't come close.
They all felt that Elyse needed time to sort out her mood now.
But Elyse did not stand for long, but walked back naturally, without even intending to look back at the corpse.
She learned from the movements of Amamiya Masa, who she had seen many times before, and slashed out a knife in the air, putting the long knife into the spatial rift that had opened up.
As the heir of the Star Casting Prince, the Death Omen Arena is already her personal property, and she is equivalent to a huge personal warehouse.
"Elyse ......"
"Don't look at me like that." Elyse waved her hand: "I'm fine, I'm not as complicated as you think." ”
"Are you really okay?" Angelica squeezed out two tears.
"Why did you cry first?" Elyse rubbed the corners of An Jie's eyes helplessly.
Then An Jie cried even more happily: "The blood on your hands is so hot that my eyes are hot!" ”
Frey didn't say anything, she silently took out a water bottle to rinse Angelica's eyes, leaving room for White Elm and Elyse.
"It's over?" Bai Yu asked.
"Well, it's over." Elyse touched her gauntlet: "The Falling Star War Beast has been killed, and the mission entrusted to me by the ancestors has been completed." ”
"Ancestor?"
"The Star Casting Prince, the first emperor, is also Michael."
In just one sentence, a lot of information.
Bai Yu brainstormed for three seconds, and then said, "It seems that she set up a game?" ”
"No, it's the Holy Lord...... The Ancestor was actually punished in the Omen of Death. Elysée explained as briefly as she could.
Bai Yu also listened quietly to what had happened before.
He looked at Elyse, in fact, it had only been five days since the two of them were separated in Romania last time, and less than a week was not particularly long.
But I couldn't help but feel a little more like a world away from home.
When Elyse had finished speaking, she saw the young man hug herself with open hands.
Frey and An Jie, who were on the side, narrowed their eyes at the same time.
"Good work." Bai Yu whispered comfort.
"I'm not hard, not at all." Elyse leaned on his shoulder, and her snake hair was about to move: "It's hard work for you, sir, thank you for coming to me, I really ......"
"I don't need thanks." Bai Yu said, "Come with me to my time...... Maki and Shiori want to meet you too. ”
"yes, okay."
She said yes quickly.
She had already made this decision from the beginning.
Even if her best friends won't go with her, she will inevitably go to the time and space where Bai Yu is.
As long as she has completed her revenge, her life has completed her mission, and where she goes next is her freedom.
It has been said that revenge is empty.
It is also said that revenge is noble.
She thought to herself, in fact, it didn't matter.
I don't know when and where it started, but her desire for revenge is not so strong.
In the past, revenge was a mission that she had to complete, and for this mission, she could give everything, even her own life; But now, she is reluctant to give everything for revenge, revenge is a necessary process in her life, and it is also a threshold that must be crossed.
She has experienced all this, ushered in growth, and must learn to jump over this threshold and start the next stage of life.
The first half of her life is over, and the second half of her life has just begun.
Since you can't stay in the Middle Ages anymore, let's live in a different era.
"That's right."
Under the gaze of the other two roommates, who were a little lemony and more obvious, Elyse, who was tired of being crooked in the crook of Bai Yu's arm and didn't want to leave, suddenly reacted.
"What about Jeanne?" she asked. ”
“…… In the mausoleum. ”
"When was she buried?" Elyse was shocked.
"I'm not dead!"
An angry voice rang out.
On the other side of the wide street, Jeanne came into view, looking a little weak and decapitated, but not injured or in danger.
Elysée hurried over, relieved after repeated confirmation.
Jeanne scolded: "I don't have a conscience, I didn't think of me until the end." ”
"I'm sorry." Elysée tugged at her wrist and coquettishly.
Bai Yu took a deep breath, thinking that this time everyone would be all assembled.
There were five of them, including himself, and a Mother of Dragons hidden in a rift in space.
"Let's get ready."
Bai Yu immediately decided: "It's time for us to leave." ”
"Are you in such a hurry?" Angelica asked tentatively, "Why don't you go find a place to rest?" ”
"The Roman emperor is dead." Bai Yu glanced at the direction of Fancheng: "I was still killed by Elyse, and the entire Roman city is in chaos, if I don't leave, I'm afraid it will be too late, the Holy Church should have already reacted." ”
Most of the canons of this era were friends and foes.
Originally, the Roman capital was like this, and the reason why it was not canonized was because it was a palace change.
And neither the canonization nor the Church thought that the Roman emperor would really be killed, but he could be canonized.
It turned out that he really sent it.
It's a lot of fun.
Bai Yu also didn't think that in the face of the saints of the Holy Church, he and others could hide for a long time, and the other party had a way to find out himself and others.
Fredrica was worried about the other person, and she asked, "What about Peggy?" Are we going to leave her here? ”
"Don't worry about that." Jeanne said lightly: "With Peggy's injury, it would have taken a long time to recover from a deep sleep, if you have to wait for her to wake up, it is estimated that she may not wake up when she turns into white bones, and she is a blood clan, and her life is far longer than yours." ”
"Before leaving, I left her a letter, she will wait for us in five hundred years, and she will see us in the flower then."
In his letter, Bai Yu mentions the 'retrieval of the holy relics' five hundred years later.
The letter told Peggy that after this incident, she went directly to Huadu to find the president's sister Melusina.
As for whether she will come or not, it is her choice, after all, five hundred years will make a person change dramatically.
Bai Yu took the props handed over by Elyse.
【Kronos's Hour Hand】
【Artifact Fragments】
[After use, you can travel through time and space and return to the original timeline]
[Note: Michael left behind enough divine power to activate, you only need to say the phrase 'I love you' to activate]
“???”
No, bro...... It's not a magic phone.
The last time I started it with Sun Fist, huh?
Michael, I advise you not to meddle!
You're getting old, and you're not in love...... Are you the Great Love Immortal?
This note made Bai Yu's expression change for a while.
"What's the matter, can't you use it?" Jeanne leaned over on tiptoe.
Bai Yu lowered his head and met the nervous little faces of the girls, and the four beautiful faces formed a cluster effect, which was amazingly lethal.
"It's okay, it works."
He stabilized his mood and said quietly, "That's it...... Maybe it's a lot of movement, so you should plug your ears first. ”
I saw that the four girls obediently covered their ears.
Bai Yu lowered his voice and recited 'I love you', but at this time, the needle did not enter the oil and salt.
It pretended not to hear.
Hour hand: inaudible, inaudible.
Bai Yu: "I love you..."
Hour hand: Do you want to travel through time and space in such a whisper?
Bai Yu took a deep breath and recited the soul line: "I love you!" ”
In all fairness, the voice is not very high.
But at this volume, the two hands covered their ears, and they couldn't cover it.
Four pairs of eyes were staring at the same time, like a lake wrinkled by the wind.
Yingying is in the water, and the pulse is silent.
Bai Yu stiffened his head and cheekily: "I'm talking about holy relics-"
Hour hand: Okay, very energetic!
Wow——!
The artifact took effect, with the white elm as the center, and the compass of time and space opened under his feet.
The hour hand begins to turn, slowly moving through the first block and then at an exponential rate.
At the moment when the hour hand turned, the group of them completely disappeared in place and entered the long torrent of time.
……
With the five disappeared under the Roman walls.
Not far away, the space was torn apart.
The embarrassed Mother of Dragons stumbled out of it.
She licked her wounds silently and murmured.
"The emperors were all killed......"
Her injuries are not light, and it will take at least more than a hundred years of cultivation to gradually recover.
During this period, the activities of Esoteric Buddhism can only temporarily enter a dormant period.
However, she believes that sooner or later she will make a comeback, and she will be disgraced.
"Holy relics, I remember ......"
……
An aurora fell from the sky.
One after another, the saints fell in the golden light.
Several of them ended up near the bodies of the Roman emperors.
Even the canons couldn't help but fall into a short silence and then argue with each other.
Holding the Libra Scepter, the Libra Holy Maiden silently looked at the emperor's corpse, closed her eyes, and sighed.
Everyone thought she was mourning.
But I don't know.
The corners of the mouth in the dark are slightly raised.
……
In the overnight palace change, the final victor was not the eldest son of the emperor, but the youngest sixth prince of the Roman emperor who survived by luck.
But he is too young, lacks control over the political situation, and is not canonized, so he can only use the power of the big nobles to stabilize the situation.
With this coup d'état, the Roman Empire entered a phase of decline.
After just a few generations, it was inevitable that war would usher in the chaos of the East and enter a period of division between the East and the West.
……
Hundreds of years later, on the outskirts of a seaside city.
A young man walks the block, looking for prey.
He is a well-known pickpocket of his generation, a master of stealing skills, and a lover of classical traps and labyrinths.
The stolen funds were used to build various mechanisms.
He did this because he wanted to be remembered.
I want to be a legend, I want to go down in history.
It's hard, and he can't reveal his identity.
In this way, he did nothing until he was nearly thirty years old.
One day, while he was hiding in the basement, studying the classical mechanism, something suddenly fell and hit him in the head.
Look down.
It turned out to be a severed hand.
At first, he thought it was a specimen from his collection, but the moment his fingers touched it, he clearly felt that time around him was slowing down, dozens of times.
"This, this is ......"
The man withdrew his finger, and after panicking, excitement welled up in his heart.
This was where the legendary thief Arsin Robin began.
History is a little girl who can be dressed up, and fate is a written script.
There is no accident caused by chance, only the necessity brought by necessity.
The beginning is also the end; The end is also the beginning.
