The blade in Sarif's hand is called "Tooth of Darkness".

The full name of this thing is "Avalon's Pitch Dark Fang", the standard and classic Shadow Elf combat one-handed sword, which was given by Lady Spider in the early years, and has various abilities, and is said to be directly created from the kingdom of Avalon like the Oak Three Holy Blades.

There are a total of thirteen handfuls, which are held by the thirteen families of the Shadow Elves, and are a symbol of the power of the Shadow Elf civilization.

However, most of the hostesses are priests of the Abyss Sisterhood and are not very good at using such melee weapons, so they are the symbol of the family samurai chief in the shadow elf society, and the samurai chief is basically held by men, so it can be said that this sword is the highest ideal of all ambitious shadow elf men.

However, the problem is that even the head of the family warrior in a shadow elf family can only rank at the bottom of the ruling class, so this seemingly glorious but tragic blade represents a "glass ceiling" left for men in the distorted society of the shadow elves, which is respected by women.

When he saw Surivo pull out his dark fangs, Bertie, who had been raised by him since childhood, knew that things could not be done well today.

He resolutely retreated to Penny's side and spread his wings at any time, ready to fly into the air at any time, with his combat power as a logistics officer, staying here can only be used as a drag oil bottle for Penny.

As he retreated, in the rhythm of the shadows around him, a standard Hydra Shadow enchantment formed with Sarifo's forward step, and the shadows spread out and re-enveloped, turning an entire area into a place of shadows that the Assassins could move freely through.

"Bang"

A steel fist wrapped in plasma flames slammed into Bertie's neck, slamming into the blade that emerged from behind him like an unpredictable prophet, and the then flame-gushing prairie represented the beginning of the duel between Penny and Sarifo.

Bertie, who was almost sent to hell in the first second of the battle, immediately jumped into the air, a cold feeling still on his neck.

Shadowblade's fighting style is swift and deadly, but he is not only proficient in assassination tactics, after all, he is a warrior who was once trained by the gladiator king of the Eternal Rift, and the moment he is destroyed and assassinated by Penny, he turns to melee combat.

Every movement of this guy has an afterimage, and the most outrageous thing is that those shadow-woven figures are not just a simple trick, they can launch at least one attack after being shaped, which makes Penny's battle at this time feel like she is fighting a group of shadow elf warriors, the blade will burst into sparks on her steel and iron bones, and the direct attack of the dark fangs will leave a path cut on the outer armor of the mechanical warrior.

Not so easy to break.

But given enough time, he can remove this obstructive layer of armor by destroying the joints.

As for the beating plasma fire.

It's cool enough, but it's pointless to hit someone.

Penny is not panicked, and as a molded mechanical mind, she tries to analyze Sarifo's fighting style in the heat of battle, but because the opponent's combat posture is so strange that she can't accurately predict the landing point and trajectory of the weapon, she can only rely on the lightning reflex of the mechanical life to try to catch the opponent.

When she realized that the flamesuit that encased her body was not going to achieve the necessary results, she turned off the flame radiation and switched her energy to melee mode.

Punches, slams, and whirling slashes are all kinds of combat skills inherited from the dangerous man in front of her in Penny's memory, and they are also used by this mechanical body, allowing her to move from a fierce mechanical heavy blow to a kind of knife tip dance that can be called "graceful".

But just relying on the memory of these combat skills can't defeat the enemy, after all, it was taught by the master, and if she wants to rely on these tricks to break the master, she is almost hot.

"Bang"

The mechanical blade of the thirty-seventh contact shattered the phantom in front of him, but at the same time, the Dark Fang crept out from behind and thrust into the gap between the outer armor of the mechanical warrior's waist at a tricky angle.

A split second jitter cut through one device, and a cloud of sparks exploded on Penny's armor, not affecting her overall fighting style, but causing a 1-2% loss in energy transmission.

However, Sarifo, who had achieved the victory, did not continue to attack, but distanced himself from the mechanical female warrior in front of him in the beating of the shadows.

When he reappeared, he swung lightly and snapped the blood psionic spell that shot out from above his head, allowing the unstable psionic energy to turn into sparks and smash at his side, and then changed his stance and held the blade with his backhand in the faint light beating.

"You're Penny!"

Surrev said in a hoarse voice:

"Memories can be modified, consciousness can be reshaped, flesh and blood can be turned into steel, but those instincts hidden in the soul cannot be concealed, you have lost those memories, but the ghosts of the past still stubbornly affect you now.

I don't know if robots have such a thing as a 'heart', but I feel that you have carved another dogma into your consciousness.

Compared to Bertie's 'Prodigal Son', Penny, your farewell to me is obviously more direct and decisive, and there is no room for anything. ”

"Twilight's actions violate twenty-nine of the thirty-one Sentinels of the Creator's Code, and every logical decision thread of mine reminds me that you are dangerous elements that must be eliminated!"

Penny replied in a mechanical voice:

"Perhaps I should be grateful to the 'Scholar' for erasing most of my memory data, so that I don't have to make complex mental and emotional decisions when facing you, and even if I don't use the rational decisions of a mechanical mind, just the various information that Bertie and I have collected over this period of time is enough to make the most basic judgments.

The existence of Twilight can only bring more instability to the current world order, and there is a certain probability that the interference of the forces of chaos with your hand on the real world will lead to even more extreme and devastating consequences.

Therefore, you! It's the enemy! ”

"You're very talkative, it's not like a robot would do it."

Sarifu snorted and said:

"So, how long will it take for your reinforcements to arrive?"

“3”

"Three minutes?"

“2”

“？！”

"Boom"

Blinding thunderbolts that fell from the sky slid down from above, piercing the outlines of the Shadow of Hydra Barrier with absolute positive energy.

As the darkness dissipated into a shattering storm, an oversized mechanical body struck the ground with a meteorite crash, and in the sound of shattering vibrations, the well-maintained Warlord, armed with a wolf's tooth rifle, stood up in the midst of the cracking vibrations.

Caught right between Penny and Bertie and Sarivo, and in the air at Murphy's side, Tracy and Kudell landed with their weapons in their hands.

Farther away, a wisp of wind blew in the night, and the moment it caressed the tips of the face, it turned into a wall of green jade streamers, like a sudden storm that sealed the surroundings, making this group of people seem to be thrown into the eye of the storm.

"Hello, Sarivo."

Murphy's voice rang out from the commander's helmet, and he said:

"The last time we met in such a hurry, I didn't pay for you to perform my heart orifice with your damn sword, plus you intimidated my subordinates, intervened in our righteous fight against the gnolls, and finally tried to kidnap my bloodline and the supernumerary members of the Sentinel Legion, etc.

We are not friends.

But we had enough grievances before we got to know each other. ”

"It's a real honor for the Grand Duke of Blood Vulture and the Ranger of Nantes to be here."

Sarivo was not afraid.

His eyes, hidden under the mask of darkness, crossed the crowd in front of him, and then his gaze was fixed on the swirling storm of jade around him, and he shook his head and said:

"It is said that Governor Murphy is quite favored by the gods, and it is really extraordinary when I see it today, it seems that the Holy Spirit of the East has secretly sent a dragon girl to guard a vampire, tsk, it is really a supreme gift."

"There are a lot of cows, ghosts, snakes and gods beside me, and when I have time in the future, I will introduce them to my friends at dusk, and then get close."

Murphy spear in hand confronts Cudell under the cover of Trace's lightning storm, and Penny activates the flames to fly into the air and slash to the ground in a supernova burning stance.

The siege of three goldenrods and a power armor finally brought the skillful Sarifo to the point of "fighting for his life", and after just a few siege blows, this guy had several more wounds on his protective gear, and he knew that he couldn't win, so he threw something similar to a smoke bomb in the shadow dancing blade dance.

When the thing landed, it exploded not in disgust but in thick darkness, materializing black over the four wilds, causing both the Warlord and the Guardian of Doom to temporarily lose their target capture, but before Sarifo could activate the shadow arcane to escape from here, a strange black shadow burst out from his side.

In the low wolf roar, the claws wrapped around the wind and thunder waved, and in just an instant, most of the body of the shadow blade was frozen in ice.

Sarivo's movements instantly stiffened, and the battlefield images seemed to be stuck in time lag at this moment, and in the slow-motion retrospective, the shadow elf warrior saw the "yellow hair" that incarnated as a werewolf, and Eris, the winter wolf who was hiding as a fatal blow, raised his eyebrows and threw the heart he had dug out in his hand up and down.

This guy really doesn't have the dignity of a strong man at all

When Murphy proposed to let it hide and give the enemy a hard blow at the critical moment, Eris agreed without hesitation, and his adaptive backbone and style formed an absolutely stark contrast to the old Su Tou, who advocated heroic fighting.

But with such a "utilitarian" legendary creature as a thug, Murphy can stand tall in any adventure at any time.

After all, the contract was signed, and if you ask Eris to do you a favor, you have to settle the order once.

Although this skinless and faceless guy who likes to hook up with his wife works hard, his appearance fee is not low.

"Bang"

Surrey, whose heart was cracked and covered with frozen blood, fell to the ground, Eris snorted, threw away the heart in his hand like garbage, and wiped his hands with a handkerchief with the scent of a mature woman with a look of disgust.

It's not a blood-drinking guy, so it won't put the enemy's heart in the corner of its mouth and bite it to taste salty.

Hey, isn't it fragrant to go to the Dongshan Juxia Restaurant for a big meal when I'm really hungry?

It's better to eat less of this kind of overly violent, and if you eat it badly, your stomach will be weak.

"Hey, Murphy, while it's true that we're a shadow elf, and though we do have the blood of shadows, we seem to have killed the wrong person."

Eris in werewolf form moved his nose and turned back to Murphy and yelled:

"You've been tricked, this isn't the guy! It's just a vivid stand-in, but my labor expenses can't be reduced because of this, which we agreed before. ”

"Guessed."

Murphy stepped forward quickly with the power armor, motioning to Kudel to step forward and take a look, and the Nantes Ranger, who had successfully promoted to the Golden One a few days ago, stepped forward with his big sword on his back, grabbed the corpse and shattered the shadow mask on the other party's face.

It was indeed the face of Sarifo Shadowblade.

There was nothing wrong with his facial features, but this was not his true deity, and the golden man's body would not stiffen so quickly after death.

"It should be some kind of clone."

Tracy looked over and gave Murphy a guessing conclusion, saying:

"Maybe it's some kind of forbidden technique of dusk, its individual strength has not reached the golden level, in order to maintain its strength in a short period of time, it has been strangely specialized, and the speed of the life force of this body is a bit scary.

Even if we don't kill him here, the body will disintegrate itself in an hour at most.

Sadly, the pitch-black fang vanished into the shadows without warning, worthy of an artifact from Lady Spider. ”

"But even then, it would be very expensive to make such a double that would allow Sarivo to do his best, and even at dusk it would not be possible to make such a thing in bulk, otherwise they would have sent us to the sky with an army of impostors."

Kuder threw the body on the ground, shook his head and said:

"If his main goal tonight is to bring back Bertie and Penny, he doesn't need to use such an expensive thing, the shadow elves have a lot of secret methods that allow them to complete the psionic projection. In the most extreme case, he can also sacrifice his subordinates to pass on a message.

I don't think the members of Twilight have a conscience.

Therefore, Sarifo Shadowblade's move is a bit of a ."

"Apparently for his disciples."

Triss glanced back at Bertie and Penny, who were standing in the distance where the storm had dissipated, and whispered to the people around her:

"Surrey probably guessed what was going to happen tonight before he came, it was a play that was played out according to the script, and the reason why he came to the 'appointment' was probably just to give Bertie and Penny a reason to say goodbye to the darkness.

A battle ritual and a slash with the twilight.

That's what we see!

Even this death may have been in his plan to remove the suspicion of these two guys from our camp.

This guy. It's really heart-to-heart for his own people. ”

"It's a pity that he's not tolerant enough of other people."

Murphy shook his head, glanced at the corpse, and said:

"Burn it, wait, maybe you can take it to old Flynn to study, this kind of clone double looks quite advanced, maybe you can research something useful."

"What about the two of them?"

Holding his griffon helmet, Kudell said to Murphy:

"Just accept them? It's not that I'm sinister, but if this is a play, as Grand Duke Triss said, the suspicion of these two young men still hasn't been cleared. ”

"Surrey is acting, but they don't."

Murphy put his wolf-tooth rifle to the ground and said:

"Bertie is of my blood, and I can sense all the secrets in his heart, and I can even peek into his intense feelings for Penny, who is a mechanical being, and Mosna has an observer implanted before.

Based on my chief mechanic's reading, she could be sure that Penny's stats didn't include the Lie Protocol.

In other words, what they just said was sincere.

As Sarifo commented, they had chosen their own path and had completed a complete farewell to the past with tonight's cannibalism.

We can trust them.

Actually, I didn't doubt them from the beginning.

They joined Twilight blindly following the cult of Sarifo, but even the most perfect person has flaws, not to mention that Sarifo may have gone crazy when he was forced to kill Truman, who he regarded as his brother and father.

It's really distorted that this shadow elf society can force a group of people to this. ”

"Where is this?"

Tracey shook her head next to her and said:

"Once you've actually walked around the Eternal Rift, you'll find that things like Sarifo and Truman play out almost every day in the Thirteen Shadow Elf families.

The way the housewives rule over the family chills me as a woman, they really don't treat men as human beings, and this has been going on since the moment Lady Spider was born.

The problem is that we've all been in contact with Spider-Lady in person, and we know that the extension of that crazy doctrine and custom doesn't come from Spider-Lady's dominance.

The Abyss Sisterhood, the organization responsible for the spread of faith, had serious problems with doctrinal interpretation from the beginning, and they used their doctrine to deliberately provoke opposition between men and women and single-handedly bring the Shadow Elf civilization into a brutal twist.

I wonder if any of them have mixed in with the Dusk Remnant, but the timing is not right. ”

"Maybe it's the remnants of the Mysteries Department from a thousand years ago? Perhaps the Shadow Elves also had their involvement behind the separation from the Elven Kingdom, after all, Lady Spider was born from Chaos Pollution, and if she wanted to spread the power of Chaos, then it was the most reasonable way to start with her followers.

However, they underestimate the extent to which Lady Spider was sheltered by Avalon.

It is precisely because of the protection of Lady Spider that the fallen shadow elves have not completely become members of the Chaos camp. ”

Murphy thought for a moment and said:

"At this time, it is time to relay this news to Edward Sr., who must be interested in the true identity of the leaders of the Abyss Sisterhood. Well, one more reason to invite Edward to join our secret group. ”

"Edward himself is not clean, Murphy!"

Tracey stopped:

"That guy handed over all the territory of the Wolf Venom Clan in Greeney to Lady Cecilia, who has been confirmed to be a member of the Twilight, and who knows what old Edward was thinking."

"That's not important, Trace!"

Murphy narrowed his eyes and said:

"You and I both know what old Edward wants, and as long as we can satisfy the old licking dog's cravings, he will be willing to be the enemy of the world."
