Volume 1 The Sigh of the Sea King Chapter 74: The Duke's Death (II)

"It's a pity!" Before Jamie could carefully feel the characteristics of the soul power that was mixed together, a strange voice suddenly sounded in front of the water vapor, sounding like it was coming from countless metal fragments, with a faint trilling and illusory taste, "You're a step too late!"

Jamie vigilantly followed the direction from which the voice came, and the silhouette of a tall and thin figure faintly appeared in the slowly floating water vapor, and it was vaguely clear that the figure was wearing a black armor, and the red cloak behind him floated slightly in the water vapor, and a cold cold light flashed in the iron mask that covered the entire head.

As Jamie's gaze moved downward, the bright pupils in his round eyes gradually dimmed, as if they had lost their vitality in an instant, because the deep reflection of the dead gray pupils was the Duke Tron Ceslia who had been trampled under the feet of the figure, and there was no longer any breath of life felt on the body that was no longer moving.

"You...... Lord Duke, he ......" Jamie's head went blank for a moment, and the great shock and sadness in his heart was like a raging tide rolling and roaring in his chest, and his rapid heartbeat was frantically agitated, as if it was about to burst open his chest cavity and drill out of his chest, and the suffocating feeling lasted for dozens of seconds before it eased slightly, but the voice from his throat still trembled violently, "What's wrong?"

"Did you say him?" the figure said with a slight disdain as he kicked his body, "dead!"

"For ...... Why?" Jamie clutched his head tightly with both hands, as if something was hoarsely hissing his head, and his heavy gasps continued to utter incoherent words, as if he wanted to deny the facts in front of him with all his might, "No, it can't be, it's not true, it's not true......"

"It's true, he's dead. The cold, illusory voice came again, emotionlessly confirming the fact that Jamie was trying so hard to deny, "I killed it with my own hands!"

"Why! Why—" A hoarse growl finally came from Jamie's dry throat, with a majestic and terrifying rage.

"Revenge!" the figure wearing the black iron mask still said in a strange and illusory voice, but the hidden hatred could be clearly felt in the unreal voice, and even for a moment, the location of the eyes that were originally shining with cold light under the black iron mask turned scarlet, burning with hideous and violent fire.

"Ah!!h

Also eroded by great anger and sadness was Jamie, the surrounding water vapor quickly condensed into four fierce water dragons again in his resounding roar, grinning from all directions to outflank and encircle the figures in front of them, but when the four water dragons could easily devour each other, the huge body of the water dragon stopped abruptly, and gradually turned into a turbulent wave of water elements, and the violently vibrating water elements were like walls around each other, and finally formed a cage that blocked all the retreats of the figures.

"You're going to pay the price!"

Jamie gently brushed aside the water elemental that rolled like a wave, and stood quietly opposite the figure, his face was pale and tired, and his sunken eye sockets were covered with terrifying bloodshots, but the aura exuded from his body was extremely powerful and terrifying, and the eyes staring at the figure opposite were tempered with hatred, like a demon full of resentment.

"Looks like you're trying to avenge him?" the figure in the black iron mask lowered his head slightly, glanced at the body that seemed to be unable to breathe, and the face hidden behind the mask seemed to be smirking contemptuously, "It's just...... Don't you weigh your own strength?"

The figure in the black iron mask slowly pulled out a well-made black short blade from his belt, the blade was carved with intricate patterns, and he flexibly reversed his wrist, the black short blade turned into a blurry but sharp cold light, spinning back and forth between his fingers.

"Although I can feel that you are extremely angry, you did not attack me directly at first, but adopted this kind of encirclement combat strategy, I think you are probably afraid that you will hurt this corpse if you attack rashly......, right?" Then let's start with this corpse!"

Jamie was obviously still thinking about the meaning of the other party's words, but the next moment, at the moment when he didn't have time to react, the knife light dissipated, and the arm covered with armor firmly held the hilt, holding the knife in his backhand, stabbing sharply, the sharp tip of the knife tore through the dull air, the place where the blade fell was the duke's heart, and the sound of the blade breaking into the flesh and blood couldn't help but Jamie's whole person trembled slightly, and then the blade was pulled out, blood gushed out, this series of actions were completed in one go, caught off guard, and there was no loophole that could stop Jamie。

Jamie witnessed a scene that made him desperate, and his nerves, which had calmed down, became agitated again......

The water elemental tumbling around lost control for a moment, and the turbulent waves crossed the barrier and rolled unscrupulously towards the black figure, on the other hand, the figure still maintained its initial calm, and the sharp knife light quickly met the incoming waves, and a sharp tearing sound similar to a metal buzzer suddenly sounded in the roaring tsunami, and the rolling waves were cut alive, although it was only an extremely short moment, but it was enough for the figure holding a short blade to jump out of the tsunami's attack range.

An expression of disbelief appeared on Jamie's face, but he quickly calmed down, re-controlled the huge water elemental to turn around, and continued to attack the figure that had just landed, but around the half-kneeling figure, a circle of strange transparent ripples suddenly appeared out of thin air, and then wrapped around the figure, as if to devour him alive, everything around him began to become distorted and illusory, and when the blurred things became clear again, Jamie was stunned to find that the figure had disappeared out of thin air......

"It's you, it's you!" Jamie snarled at the empty front, "Why? Why did you do this? Gilgaia!"

"You're still so emotional, it's been seven years, but you haven't changed at all, it's really ......" The illusory voice faded away, drifting, like a ghostly sigh, "stupid!"

Jamie stared blankly at the place where the figure disappeared, and the crazy waves swept there, but there was nothing but a few wisps of soul power that the other party had no time to dissipate. He finally fell to his knees beside the Duke's corpse, looking blankly at the familiar and cold face, which had long since lost all life and blood, and the waves of the surrounding walls suddenly lost control and collapsed into a rain of shreds, and the cold liquid that slid across his face did not know whether it was tears or rain......

A series of hurried footsteps poured into the ruined bedroom, judging by the sound alone, there were no less than twenty people entering the bedroom, and the sound of heavy, clean footsteps was accompanied by the sound of metal grinding, and the person who came was obviously a heavily armed soldier - the [Angel] Legion.

Jamie's eyes were still glazed and his expression was blank, as if he had lost the empty shell of his soul, completely oblivious to the entry of the soldiers. Angel in uniform silver armor The sight that greeted the soldiers after entering could not help but make them gasp, and the great shock was deeply imprinted on their faces, the Duke who was once extremely proud, as high as a god's mansion, would fall in a pool of blood in such a mess, without the aura of the royal family, and even breathing and heartbeat could not be felt, and it seemed that he was already dead, and Colonel Jamie, who seemed to be indifferent to everything next to him, also sat on his knees in a daze, drenched, looking tired and weak, and his mouth fluttered slightly, not knowing what he was thinking。

"What a pitiful ......" Tarsula gently pushed her way through the crowd and staggered towards the embarrassed Jamie, his voice tinged with old helplessness and loss.

Jamie raised her head mechanically at the sound of a familiar voice, her dead gray pupils like a fog of chaos, hollow at the approaching old man, and the cold liquid continued to pour out, flowing down her handsome cheeks, and falling on the cold Duke's corpse drop by drop.

"I know, I know it......" Tarsula trembled and raised her shriveled arm and stroked Jamie's wet hair, "You're sad now, but the city still needs you, the Duke is dead, and you, whom he once trusted immensely, have to shoulder your responsibilities at this time, do you understand?"

Tsura's words seemed to touch a heartstring in Jamie's heart, his pupils trembled slightly, and then his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably, his face buried deep in his chest, his hands tearing his hair hard, his moans of pain intermittent, hoarse and weak, as if the depths of his soul were still trying to repel some established fact......

"Even if you don't want to face this harsh reality, it's already a fact, you can't reverse it, you can't change it, the only thing you can do is ......" Tashura slowly crouched down and patiently stroked Jamie's shoulder, trying to calm him down again, "Bring the murderer to justice!"

"......" Jamie finally stopped struggling, a glimmer of light seemed to flash in his slowly raised cloudy eyes, and his lips opened slightly, and he slurred three words at Tarsura.

"I see!" Tashura patted Jamie on the shoulder again, then slowly stood up, turned around and walked towards the group of soldiers behind him, but he didn't take two steps, he turned around again, and a fierce murderous aura appeared in his vigorous face, "If you want to avenge the Duke, come over yourself, I will wait for you outside the inn where the [Slayer] is staying!"

The three words that Jamie had just slurred at Tashura were exactly ......

[Slayer]!
