The blood was flowing, like a small waterfall, flowing down the rough stone steps, pouring into the underground river, dyeing the river an amazing blood color.
The rich smell of blood permeates the dark underground cave, with a strange aura.
Even the battle-hardened knights couldn't help but resist it from the bottom of their hearts when they had to step on the blood-red stone steps to the black-cyan slate flowing with blood.
However, immediately after that, they couldn't care about the discomfort in their hearts. After the initial confusion, they all looked at each other with solemn expressions.
Under the majestic stone gate, a person stopped in front of the stone gate.
The man came towards them.
The jet-black boots stepped on the pool of blood, splashing countless blood beads.
"Heimos."
Garlan let out a low cry, clenching his fingers hard.
The person who didn't know how long it would take to find it appeared in front of him, and it wasn't a surprise to him.
When he saw what Heimos looked like at the moment, his heart sank endlessly.
A powerful aura of oppression came from the front, overwhelming the sky and the earth, pressing directly with a great momentum.
The oppressive force radiated from the whole body of Heimos walking towards him, so strong that it was almost substantive.
Aura surrounds.
Fierce all over.
—That is the stance of the 'Black Knight of Hell' that made everyone terrified on the battlefield.
Forced by the ferocious aura coming from Heimos, all the knights had chills on their backs and awe-inspiring expressions. Almost at the same moment, they pulled out their long swords and tightened their bodies.
Everyone's expression is like a formidable enemy.
The elite knights here have all fought with Heimos on the battlefield—but, because of this, they understand the power and fear of Heimos better than anyone.
They knew very well that even if dozens of knights were present together, they would only end up being slaughtered one-sidedly by the 'black knight'.
In the huge underground grotto, except for the sound of footsteps stepping on a pool of blood unhurriedly, there is nothing else.
The hoarse voice of the child broke the deadly heavy silence.
"He is controlled by the religion of all things."
Sia, who stood at the back, said,
"I have seen that many children were originally reluctant to go to the altar to die, but when they were seen by the priests of the religion of all things, they were fascinated and took the initiative to walk up to the altar, and even cut their hands and feet to let blood."
Garland pursed his lips and said nothing.
This happened to him once as a child.
In his opinion, the priests should have used a special aroma and method to hypnotize and control the children.
The reason why it didn't work for him at the beginning was because his mental power, who had already experienced four deaths, was extremely powerful, so he wouldn't be controlled by them.
…
However, why is as powerful as Heimos, actually...
"Please stand back."
Raising his left hand to stop Garlan, Kaihos said.
Changed from his usual unruly and casual appearance, the blond knight's face showed an unprecedented solemn look.
"I'm afraid it will be very dangerous to wait, please protect yourself."
"… I will pay attention."
Garland replied.
He pushed Xia behind him and motioned for him to step back.
Xia looked at him, then stepped back step by step, retreating along the stone steps that came up.
Having walked to the opposite side of Li Garlan and the others, Heimos' blood-red pupils slowly swept across the crowd.
He looked at the eyes of everyone like looking down at ants, indifferent and ruthless.
He leaned over slightly, and in the next instant, he was already attacking.
His speed was so fast that the afterimages remained in place.
Unpredictable.
Most people could only watch as the white light of the blade swept through the air, waving at them—
With a bang, the sound of the blade crashing resounded through the empty underground cave.
At the moment when Heimos moved, Kaijos greeted him almost at the same moment.
The long sword he swung slammed into Heimos.
The collision between the two was so violent that one could almost see sparks blasting between the blades of the two colliding.
They fought and fought together.
The loud metal crashing sound and the frightening sound of the blade rubbing against each other rang in everyone's ears from time to time.
The same pitch-black boots stepped on the blood-splattered bluestone floor, and a series of blood flowers splashed around them. Within seconds, their boots were stained with blood.
When the two were fighting fiercely, the air pressure that was almost visible to the naked eye exploded, setting off waves of blood, like a vortex.
Makes them look like they are fighting to the death in a sea of blood in hell.
Knight of the Sun, Cayhorth.
Hell's Black Knight, Heimos.
These two knights, who are known side by side as the guardian cornerstones of Aaron Landis, have always been talked about, and many people quarrel over the question of who is stronger and who is better.
So far, there has never been a real winner or loser between the two.
Because the battle between the strong must do their best, the strength is difficult to control, and there is no way to keep the hand. If you are not careful, you will be seriously injured or even killed.
Therefore, in the occasional battle between the two for some special reason, they all restrained each other and would not try their best.
And this time, the two most powerful knights of Aaron Landis may be able to decide the real victory and defeat at a heavy price.
—However, this is definitely not the result that Garlan is happy to see.
Especially now that the situation is very obvious, Kaijos has been suppressed by Heimos.
Compared to Heimos, who is vicious and deadly in every move, Kaijos is bound by his hands and feet.
He couldn't make a ruthless attack on Heimos, so his passive resistance was even weaker, so he could only grit his teeth and try his best to resist Heimos's fierce offensive, preventing Heimos from approaching Jia Ireland.
This is not the way to go!
While fighting with Heimos, the blue veins on the forehead of Kaijos, who clenched his teeth, have been stretched out.
He was crushed to death by Heimos, and there was no way he could fight back.
And the cultists behind Shimen don't know what they are doing. As time goes by, if they really succeed, they still don't know what terrible things will happen.
Maybe it will endanger Garland...
Just then, footsteps came from behind him.
The three knight commanders rushed up, from different directions, rushing towards the encirclement, and besieged Heimos together with Kaijos.
With their assistance, Kaijos barely managed to maintain a state of parity with Heimos.
Protected by the knights behind him, Garlan stared fixedly at Heimos at this moment.
Although he didn't know why Heimos became like this, he could see that the current Heimos had completely lost his consciousness and became a humanoid killing tool controlled by the religion of all things.
Something must be done to awaken Heimos's sense of self.
If you want to get rid of the control of the religion of all things, you can only let Heimos break free by his own willpower.
The young man frowned in thought.
In order to awaken Heimos' consciousness, it must be given great stimulation from the outside world.
Is there any way to stimulate him...
…
… kiss
In Garlan's mind, he suddenly kissed Heimos not long ago, and Heimos's face was flushed.
He couldn't help but come up with such an idea.
But the idea was immediately rejected by him.
Looking at Heimos, who was besieged by Kaihos and others, looking like a beast at the moment, Garlan shook his head.
Not reliable.
Now Huymos may not recognize himself, and even attack himself.
After all, when facing each other just now, Heimos's eyes swept over him clearly and saw him, but Heimos looked at him indifferently at that time.
That gaze was the same as looking at someone else or a stone on the side, without any difference, without the slightest emotion.
That indifferent look made Garlan clench his hands unconsciously.
Heimos never looked at him with that emotionless look.
This made him very uncomfortable.
Moreover, let’s not talk about the question of whether Heimos will attack him after he approaches Heimos. Before that, first of all, neither Kaijos nor the knights standing in front of him will allow it. Approach Heimos yourself.
I am afraid that they would rather commit a crime and block their own past.
Garlan's mind was spinning rapidly.
For Heimos, what excites him the most
While Garlan was still thinking about ways to stimulate Heimos's consciousness, the situation of the battle suddenly changed.
Perhaps because of being besieged, the anger in Heimos's eyes grew stronger.
It was like a lone wolf being besieged by hunters, suddenly violent and mad.
Kaijos saw a gleam of blood in Heimos's eyes, and his heart froze.
"Back off!"
he growled.
The next second he roared, the big sword in Heimos, whose pupils had turned blood red, slashed fiercely across—
With a few clicks in succession, Heimos slashed all the blades in the hands of the other three knight commanders with one sword.
The powerful sword wind and impact smashed the three knight captains out, or a deep crack in the chest or arm, bleeding like a stream.
If they hadn't listened to Kaihos's words and took a step back in time, they would have either broken their arms or died on the spot.
The power is stronger than before!
Reluctantly caught the blow of Heimos, Kaihos was stunned.
how come-
Heimos completely suppressed him!
The awe-inspiring Kaihos raised his head and met the blood-red eyes that were staring straight at him.
It had nothing but killing and ferocity, and it was like a bloodthirsty humanoid monster, which made Kaihos suddenly startled.
And the next second, with a familiar click, the long sword in his hand burst.
The broken blade slid past his cheek, smearing a bloodstain across his face.
A strand of severed blond hair fell silently, dipping in a pool of blood on the ground.
Immediately afterwards, a hand stretched out suddenly, grabbed Kaihos's head, and pressed it down hard.
A loud bang.
Huymos grabbed Kejos by the head and slammed it hard on the floor.
Half of the knight's head was stained with blood, and the violent vibration made his brain buzz, and it went blank for a moment.
And at this moment, one hand pressed his head to the ground, and Heimos raised his long sword with the other hand, and his eyes were full of fierce light.
The tip of the sword was pointed at Kaihos's head, and the sword stabbed—
"stop!"
"don't want-"
"Lord Kaihos!"
"Your Excellency Heimos! Stop it!"
Exclamations sounded everywhere, and all the knights shouted, and many people rushed over desperately to stop this tragedy.
However, even the few knight commanders who were closest to Kaihos and the others, who got up from the ground with injuries and rushed over without any care, were too late to stop them.
Xia below widened her eyes.
Seeing that Kaijos was about to die under the sword of Heimos.
Suddenly, a loud voice shouted loudly.
"I want to marry Emma as my princess!"
Garlan, who was nervously held back by the digital knights, suddenly shouted out these heartless words in a situation that was almost suffocating.
Marrying Emma as Princess...
Marrying Emma...
marry...
The empty underground cave was silent for a moment, only the echo of Garlan's words kept echoing.
The knights: "???"
Xia: "???"
What
Are we hallucinating
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Just when everyone was shocked by this inappropriate remark, what shocked them even more happened.
The sword that Heimos stabbed at Kaihos actually stopped halfway.
His whole figure seemed to freeze there.
Kaihos, who has already slowed down and doesn't know what to show, said: "..."
"Heimos, I order you."
The underground cave was terribly silent, only the voice of the young king echoed in it.
He said: "I order you to go to the Elson country as a messenger and escort Princess Emma to the royal city. I will marry her and make her my princess."
With a bang, it was the crisp sound of the long sword being smashed to the ground.
Heimos, who was kneeling on the bloody ground, suddenly smashed the long sword in his hand to the ground, released the hand that was holding Kaihos's head, and stood up suddenly.
Before everyone could react, he had already rushed in front of Garlan.
"Garlan, if you dare to do that—"
Heimos grabbed Garlan's arms tightly, his face gloomy.
The handsome face was twisted, revealing a bit of hideousness.
"I will bring her to you and kill her in front of you!"
With a threatening tone, he snapped.
"Oh."
Garland snorted.
He says,
"Then I won't marry."
Heimos, who still had a ferocious expression on his face: "..."
Xia: "???"
The knights: "???"
Continue to be dumbfounded.
This kind of delusion of suddenly switching from a sad and deplorable scene of sibling rivalry to a scene of jealousy...
The blond knight, whose body was half-stained with blood, was getting up from the ground with an indifferent expression.
