With this eye-catching giant sword as the axis, countless dazzling flames emerged out of thin air, like pus and blood oozing from the air. They began to spin rapidly around the pillar of fire, dragging bright long tails, and the white snow field was instantly dyed red by the scorching storm. Immediately afterwards, these long swimming snakes all rushed towards the center of the vortex, condensing around the powerful will that ruled them. The flame shrank like a clenched heart, and then exploded, engulfing the flames of Mars. The hot wind swept across the plain in an instant.
"That's... that guy?" When Liston's pupils were greeted with burning wings, the dwarf's iron-clad body couldn't help trembling, and subconsciously took a few steps back.
"Liston, please issue an order to retreat." Flora rang behind the commander, her tone still as calm as usual, "It seems that we have encountered a formidable opponent. If we fight in this kind of place, I'm afraid It will be completely wiped out. Leave it to me first, and prepare for the magic ship as soon as possible. If you don’t hurry up... "
"...the ice will melt." The dwarf whispered the last part of the sentence, and then quickly ran away without saying a word.
The solid ice around the pillar of fire has long since disappeared without a trace. The moment the magma licked it, the high temperature turned them into steam, and the ice sculptures of the surrounding demons also collapsed one after another. The entire area has been turned into a white cloud. Huge crater of fog. The death knight who was crushed under the ice took this opportunity to crawl out from the melted wreckage, but Roland had no time to rejoice at his luck—because the Lord of Fire, which only existed in legends, was right in front of his eyes. .
The Crimson King, Flame Dragon Melkidek.
His body is more than a hundred meters long, which is a whole circle bigger than the largest red dragon; the scales all over his body are like precious red jade, exquisite, beautiful and extremely hard, and there are layers upon layers of waves surging on top of it. waves of flames; around the majestic and powerful wings, there are countless flame elves, like two blades wrapped in blood mist; However, it was dazzling white; and what emanated from the flame-condensed eyes was an evil light mixed with wisdom, cruelty, arrogance and cynicism.
It is said that in the past few hundred years, the only person who has injured Yanlong Melikidick is the emperor Jagasi. With the help of the elf Lycesil, he successfully injured the invincible Scarlet King and forced him to escape back to his soul. The world—but the price of this victory was equally heavy. More than four thousand dwarves and elves died on the day of the battle. Not only that, but the emperor himself fell under the powerful curse of Melukidik five years later. But now, there is no one who can rival the emperor. The prayer warriors have consumed most of their strength in the glacial storm just now, and the two thousand warriors in the Star Capital are also exhausted.
It is impossible for us alone to defeat such an existence...even if we gamble the power of the entire star capital. Roland stared blankly at the scene in front of him without moving.
"Are you dumbfounded? I can't help it, but I am also quite aware that I am a charismatic king." Melukidik gracefully bent her long neck, and began to tease the opponent who was bound by fear, "Can see In my form, and will also be bathed in the flames of the King of Elements, you should die without regrets, right?"
"Stop joking, how could I... How could I die in this kind of place~!" The death knight tried his best to mobilize the strength in his body, and mechanically assumed an attacking posture, but both sides knew that this was a kind of death struggle More ineffective moves.
"You're welcome, let's create the atmosphere first." Accompanied by Yan Long's ridicule, the surrounding air suddenly boiled, and the invisible flames were gradually condensing, intending to crush Roland into ashes.
But before that power reached its peak, a clear voice pierced through the turbid air and reached the witcher's ears from the distant sky, shaking his whole body.
"Kaos, come up~!" When the two sides confronted each other, Katoli, who was riding the wind horse, had skillfully approached the battlefield under the cover of fog, and now she was hovering over the head of the death knight. Before Roland had time to think about it, his body moved immediately, passing lightly over the iceberg that was about to melt, and then he jumped and landed accurately on the horse's back, behind the girl.
"You're not hurt..."
"Let me drive the horse instead~!" The demon hunter not only interrupted the other party's question, he even omitted his thanks. He clung close to the girl's side without any explanation, and then stretched out his hand to pull the rein. The white steed immediately galloped on the hot wind, and where they had just stopped, there was a flash of fire that could melt rocks.
"Hey, you're really quick. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, hey, hey, you'll make me uncontrollable!" Wings, in the next instant, thousands of fiery snakes spewing hot letters rose from the surface of his wings, shooting at the fleeing two like a burst of arrows.
This "flooding rain" attack looks dazzling, bright flames are rapidly weaving a huge net in the air, and every thread in this fire net is fatal to the prey— Once hit, I am afraid that even the bones will be reduced to ashes. The Fire Snake was swimming very fast, and Roland didn't have time to look back. His only coping strategy was to use the unique sensitivity of the death knight to sense the changes in the surrounding temperature, and then dodge to the colder side. But soon, even this method was no longer feasible, Yufengma was completely blocked in all directions, and there was no gap to break through.
"I've been cornered." Facing dozens of big snakes that opened their mouths wide open, Roland reined in his horse to stop, and then drew out his big sword, "I can't help it, I hope I can cut off a few more..."
"Are we... going to die?" Katoli turned her head and asked, her tone unexpectedly calm.
"I'm afraid it is, but no matter what," the death knight looked into the opponent's eyes, "thank you."
Katoli didn't respond, she was a little overwhelmed by the witcher's face and breath so close, and the dwarf's words reappeared in her mind again.
Are you in love with him
What am I thinking at this critical moment of life and death... The girl shook her head with a wry smile. But if it ends like this, it may be the fairest result. Neither Luvis nor Ishutori can touch the World Tree, and I don't need to make decisions in the future...
But then, Roland's commanding tone interrupted the other party's thoughts: "Low down a little more~!"
Katoli pulled her gaze back to reality, and immediately found a small gap in the corner of the fire net. Beside the gap, a large bird formed by seven or eight ice crystals was fiercely fighting with the swarming fire snakes. Fighting—that was Flora's rescue.
The demon hunter galloped forward recklessly, at a faster speed than before. It was a desperate sprint with all bets on one point. As a result, the fiery snakes who were chasing after them passed by them several times. The death knight's cloak quickly disappeared, and the armor almost turned into a piece of hot iron, causing the body wrapped inside to hiss and groan. But even so, the focus of Roland's gaze has not changed. After a few long seconds, the dazzling red in front of the eyes of the two faded away in an instant, replaced by the endless blue sky. The next moment, an invisible ice screen caused the long flaming snake biting behind the fugitive to be shattered into countless fragments in an instant.
"Oh? Do you still have the strength to build an enchantment?" Melukidik sighed in surprise, "But forget it, even so, this is still a wonderful performance."
"The great king of the elements, the ruler of the flames, Melukidik." Flora asked cautiously, her voice could easily spread throughout the battlefield after being activated by prayer, "May I ask why you came to the capital of stars?" thing?"
"You don't have to be so polite, because I've stayed in a rural place like the spirit world for too long, so I really want to come out and see the world." Yanlong flapped his wings again, this time to disperse the surrounding fog and flames, so that Everyone in the distance could see him clearly, and felt the unparalleled oppression and despair.
"I don't think there is anything you're interested in in Star Capital." The guardian pondered for a while, and then replied. As a witness to the rise and fall of several ages, Flora understands the essence of the Scarlet King better than anyone else-maybe he seems like a mere cynical tyrant, but in fact, Melukidik is more powerful than any other archmage. Be cautious and careful. Yanlong never set foot on the territory of the gods, and every attack he made was carefully planned, and all of them were successful—except for the confrontation with Emperor Jagasi.
This attack must have been planned for a long time. The reason why the demons in the Nether Realm were driven to work was probably to exhaust the prayers, so that no one could hurt him at all, right? The guardian sighed subconsciously. Due to his own inconsideration, the capital of the stars has now fallen into an unprecedented crisis.
"As people get old, their brains turn slowly. I think you haven't figured out what I mean?" Melukidik sneered, "As I said just now, I don't want to be like other stupid kings of elements. This is my purpose to stay in the spirit world. For hundreds of years, I have possessed unparalleled power, but I can only influence the world through the meeting point, and what's more, I can only stay for a few short days each time. God, it’s really not enough. Therefore, in order to obtain the power to cross the Three Realms, there is one thing that is necessary, and that thing happened to appear this year.”
"What? Are you planning to... get your hands on the power that only belongs to God?" Flora was stunned, "A wishful thinking~! The World Tree will never grant you power~!"
"Hey, I'm not interested in that, besides being a god is hard work, right? I can only squat obediently in the castle of God's Domain every day, and I have to keep responding to the endless requests of believers. I can bear it." The Crimson King raised his head suddenly, and the flames all over his body set off a gust of wind with this movement, "I don't care if the World Tree recognizes me, the King of Elements has his own way, as long as he can get the power to cross the Three Realms from there. Only the power of my body is enough, then I can get rid of the last shackles, and swim freely in this world and the netherworld."
"Do you want to wait for the spring through the snow?" the guardian whispered.
"If the capital of the stars is willing to dedicate the road to the world tree, the great scarlet king will give them the right to live until the moment of the world's destruction. This is my promise." It is completely different from the cynicism just now, at this time Melukidick's voice is earnest, commanding and extremely seductive.
"As the guardian of the star capital, I reject your unreasonable request." Flora replied without hesitation, "The worst god is a hundred times better than you, and you will only bring disaster to the people of the world. They have guarded this place for thousands of years, and they will never bow to an ambitious man like you just to survive."
"Hey, I didn't expect the negotiation to break down so quickly. It's a pity." The other party smacked his lips, "If that's the case, it's obvious that he wants to taste the taste of being grilled, right? I'll satisfy you." Before the words finished, Yan The dragon opened its huge mouth with sharp teeth and took a sharp breath. The surrounding airflow and flames were instantly pressed in by the tyrannical gravitational force, and twisted into a tight and strong strand. The overwhelming power was finally condensed into a strong light, which roared and sprayed out from Melikidike's mouth.
The space was distorted in an instant, the huge sonic boom kicked up a large piece of soil near Yanlong, the recoil made the attacker move back several meters, and the Crimson King's powerful claws plowed several deep ravines on the surface of the soil. The white-hot shock wave swept across the ice, spanning a distance of two kilometers in an instant, right on the hill where Flora was. The deafening explosion pierced through people's eardrums, and it felt as if the entire plain was trembling. After several minutes, the soaring sand and gravel finally fell to the ground, and when the mushroom cloud mixed with ice and sparks dissipated, the original The mountain where the command post is located has been completely razed to the ground, and even the hills on both sides have collapsed to varying degrees.
"Are the ten magic ships all right?" Flora landed steadily on the deck and asked while coughing. The high-speed transfer just now caused her to feel tearing pain everywhere in her body.
"Don't worry, they are all in good condition. You don't need to worry about it here, go down and rest." Liston looked at the guardian with worried eyes. After receiving a positive answer from the other party, the commander turned around and began to issue orders —The wind horse carrying the last two passengers happened to land on the bow at this moment.
"The whole army retreats, the destination is the Forest of Mirrors~!" The dwarf nodded to Roland, and then announced loudly.
"Hey, what did you say to swear to defend the satellite capital... Aren't you very good at escaping? Just now it was just a beacon of war, and you are so afraid?" Melukidik breathed out a puff of white smoke from his mouth comfortably, "But now It seems that my favorite hot pursuit mode is about to start~! I really hope that all the captains have excellent tail-flicking skills, so that my expectations will not be disappointed~!"
The next moment, he flapped his wings gracefully, and his huge body immediately broke free from the shackles of gravity, and slid up into the air like a fish swimming in water, dragging a brilliant crimson rainbow behind him.
At almost the same moment, ten fast boats had sailed out of the bunker, like a flock of white birds out of their nests, and began to accelerate and glide on the mirror-like snow field in a herringbone formation. The structure of the star capital transport is completely different from that of ordinary ships. They do not have sails—more precisely, they just look like ships. There are huge air intakes on both sides of each magic speedboat. After the air is sucked in, it is prayed and finally discharged from the jets at the tail of the hull. Relying on the strong reverse thrust generated thereby, the magic speedboat carrying two hundred people Can glide on ice at a speed of one hundred kilometers per hour—twice that of a death knight.
However, this speed was clearly far from enough to get rid of Melukidick's pursuit. Soon, the Crimson King launched a new round of offensive.
Countless crimson pillars of fire broke through the solid ice and spewed out from the surface of the earth. The spreading magma made the road available for magic ships to sail much narrower, and this was just the beginning. Driven by Yanlong, those flames quickly gathered as if they were alive, and finally combined into a living entity. Some of them turned into mid-level fire elemental sand Roman snakes in the shape of lizards, while the other part turned into Ifrit, a high-level fire element with the appearance of a giant. Taking advantage of the moment when the star capital's speedboat passed by the magma, these ambushers who appeared suddenly jumped onto it immediately and accurately, and began to wreak havoc regardless.
The four ships in the lower left corner of the formation were attacked. The fighters on the first three ships successfully ended the battle on the deck, and the damage to the hull was minimal, but the condition of the last ship was much worse—there were too many More fire elements landed on the upper deck, and the soldiers had no time to clean them up. The damage caused by this further slowed down the forward speed of the magic ship, causing more fire elements to climb up the ship's wall, turning into a vicious circle. Almost in the blink of an eye, thick black smoke rose from the speedboat, the hull groaned and tilted to one side, and the sailing posture became more and more sluggish.
Sensing the increasing distance, the neighboring ship on one side prepared to change its course and go to rescue the lagging companion. But before that, the commander's cold voice reached the captain's ears: "Recover your speed immediately and correct the sailing route~!"
"But sir, the capital of the stars never refuses to save their companions~!" The captain's answer was filled with repressed sullenness.
"I don't have time to explain to you. Restore speed immediately." The dwarf repeated, and just as he finished speaking, a blood-red lightning solidified by high-density flames fell from the sky, instantly shattering the sinking magic line. The ship, the stubbornly resisting fighters, and the crazy fire elements all disintegrated into ashes, leaving only a crater-like lava pit on the ground. After several seconds, the ear-piercing thunder came to the stunned people's ears middle.
"It's exactly the same as the one in the legend... Melukidick's 'flame thunder' spit...I'm afraid even ten layers of red dragon scales can't withstand such a temperature." Roland walked slowly to Liston's side, looking up at the That dazzling figure in the sky, the blow just now was the Crimson King's special move, "The situation is very bad, our speed is not enough, we can't escape his attack range."
"I don't need a witcher talking here," the dwarf suppressed his anger and sorrow, then turned around and replied, "You'd better mind your own business." The dwarf glanced at him—the death knight had burns all over his body. , if left alone like this, the Paladin will soon become suspicious.
"I'm going to 'treat the injury' right now. I just want to confirm whether you plan to adopt the third plan?" Roland said ambiguously.
"Under such circumstances, that is the only measure that can be taken. Not only can the survival rate of the wounded be greatly improved, but it will also buy time for the Star City." The commander replied in a firm and calm tone, "Why do you To ask this?"
"No matter what you think, as a member of Star Capital, I am obliged to stay and participate in the battle, but... the importance of Ishutoli is above that. If I want to stay, I need someone to replace me. And Now this problem has been resolved." Roland's low tone was equally determined, and before the dwarf had time to respond, the demon hunter quickly crossed the bumpy deck and disappeared at the cabin door.
"Have you seen it too? The situation is very critical now, so I can only activate the final plan... It is specially used to deal with the current escape situation." The commander stared at Ren, Xiuyin and Katoli with a blank expression , and began to briefly explain, "To make a long story short, we will divide our troops into two groups. The wounded and a small number of prayers—including the guardian himself—will leave the battlefield in a high-speed jet boat. Their task is to return to the star capital as soon as possible. Work with the defenders to strengthen the defense line of the tree castle. The remaining people who can fight must delay as much time as possible, and when the magic fleet arrives at the Forest of Mirrors, we will have a head-on confrontation with Melukidik."
"That is to say, those who stay on the ship will become death squads, does that mean?" Xiuyin asked word by word.
"That's right. I know that you are shouldering the mission of Luvis. In this case, please make your own judgment." The dwarf's sharp eyes swept over the three of them, "As for the original agreement... it requires you to come Fighting, not coming to die, so it's useless now."
As if to prove this alarmist statement, when Liston finished his explanation, the shock wave that fell from the sky happened to land on the ice 30 meters away from the magic speedboat. The huge force made the whole boat tremble violently, splashed The hard ice shards kicked up hit the deck, making a crisp sound.
"I decided to stay." This was the first sentence Katoli uttered after regaining her balance, and the answer without hesitation left the two people behind her stunned.
"Catori Orlande~! Now is not the time to act emotionally, do you know what you are doing?" As soon as the dwarf left, Huin immediately walked up to the girl and looked at her seriously, which was different from the usual one. A mage with a relaxed expression is completely different.
"I know exactly what I'm doing." Katoli said as she untied the necklace from her neck and handed it to the mage, "Here is the 'Blood of Luvis', which prevents Ishutoli from becoming a god." The only way, the other function now is to shatter Melukidik's ambitions, so you must keep it safe. Xiuyin, you take it back to the Star Capital now, if we can defeat the Crimson King, then we will be together Through the snow waiting for the spring... If I die here, then the last task can only be entrusted to you, please destroy the World Tree~!"
"Why do you have to do this?" The young mage looked at the captain in bewilderment, and there was an obsession in his emerald pupils that he couldn't understand.
"The reason why the great Luvis chose me to be the executor of the mission is because the blood of the ancients can open the gate to the star capital. Now, this purpose has been achieved. So I also want to do something selfish." Girl Deliberately showing a relaxed smile, "A long time ago, the Dark Eagle had to make a judgment in this situation. Since even the Avenger knew which path to take, what choice do you think I would make? And … I believe that Kaos will definitely make the same choice as me.”
"... I still can't understand, but if it's the captain's decision, it's just a waste of time to say more. I will do my best to complete the task you entrusted." Xiu Yin solemnly held the other party's hands.
"So, what about you, Ren?" The two people with a clear stand turned their attention to the third party. Ren subconsciously exchanged glances with the mage, and finally, Xiuyin sighed heavily: "I thought there would be someone willing to be a guard, what if something happens to the intersection of the three realms?"
"Sorry, Xiuyin, but I want to stay and be with Katoli. Since we have been fighting together for so long, how can we give up at this time?" The paladin answered clearly, with a resolute expression on his face . After getting along for half a year, Xiu Yin already understood the meaning in the other party's eyes very well, so he could only agree with him with a wry smile.
"Thank you, Ryan." The girl replied softly.
When Roland came to the cabin where Elena was, the prayers just ended their special treatment for her. The complexion of the blood race has improved a lot, and the eyes have returned to their usual calmness—but there is still a sense of stagnation in them.
"They said that the power of fire in your body has been removed, how do you feel now, are you better?" The death knight looked at the other party with concern.
"Well... But I never expected that I would be punched by the King of Elements... that Melukidik." Elena touched her abdomen with lingering fear.
"I don't have time to feel these things now. Liston is about to start the third plan. Based on the current situation, can you return to the original state after arriving in the star capital?" After confirming that the other party was fine, Roland immediately Changed his expression, "I hope you can at least have the ability to defend yourself and move quickly by then."
"What do you want me to do this time?" The other party asked bluntly. But the death knight didn't answer immediately, but raised the glass bottle in his hand.
"This bottle is protected by a prayer enchantment, and it won't break even if it is cut by a sword, so you can take it with you." Roland said, using a dagger to cut a wound on his left wrist, and cut it accurately vein. The death knight's dark red blood flowed down the blade, soon filling the entire bottle. After tightening the bottle cap and carefully inspecting it, the witcher began to explain: "As Orin of Ishutori, my blood has been branded with the goddess' mark, although it is not practical, but it is enough to awaken the world Tree. If our battle fails and Melukidik invades the capital of the stars, then everything will be up to you, as long as you pass through the Xuedai Spring, and then pour Orin's blood on the roots of the World Tree, the task will be completed .”
"You want to stay?" Elena asked quietly.
"certainly."
"Roland, you don't owe Star Capital anything."
When he heard this sentence, a nostalgic smile appeared on the corner of the demon hunter's mouth: "Twenty years ago, you also said the same thing, and I also made the same choice."
"Of course I remember that, are you going to laugh at my memory?" The blood frowned dissatisfiedly.
"I just feel that after so long, everyone is still the same as before. It's great... It's almost the same as that time." Roland subconsciously clenched the pendant on his chest with his hands, and a gratifying warmth flashed across his water-colored pupils , "The capital of Stars and Ishutoli are both very precious existences to me. If I must compare, perhaps Ishutoli is more important. But the road to the world tree has been unimpeded, but the capital of stars has encountered There is an unprecedented crisis, so staying and fighting is the best thing I can think of, not to mention..." The death knight smiled slyly, "There happens to be a wounded person who likes to be aggressive and can become a substitute, and I can't do otherwise."
"Hmph, you kid..." Elena curled her lips, but she was rarely ironic, "Then what should I do with the envoy of the alliance, and that girl..."
"Don't worry about that. At most, you only need to deal with two people. Anyway, they don't have the blood of God to use. It doesn't matter if you can avoid the confrontation." The demon hunter interrupted the other party, "As for Katoli... she will definitely choose to stay here, just like that paladin twenty years ago." Having said this, the death knight's voice gradually dropped.
"I understand," the blood race nodded, and then bit his fingertips with his little tiger teeth. "Let's make an oath, Roland. There is no way. Since the task is related to the change of the world, it is necessary to increase some pressure."
"Okay." Roland did the same, and then the bloody fingertips of the two pressed together tightly.
"Then, I will be your substitute from now on." Elena stared at the other party solemnly, "I will do my best to complete that task, and I must make Ishutori the new god. But..."
"but?"
"Don't feel relieved to die because of my promise. Surviving is the best choice. That way...you will be worthy of Jiu Yuan." She was silent for a while, and finally said the name slowly.
"Well, I understand." Roland replied softly.
Each magic ship is equipped with four high-speed jet boats. Although their power is small, their speed is greatly improved because of the carrying capacity of only ten people and the streamlined shell that is almost unimpeded by the air—as long as the flames The dragon intended to target the larger ships, which could be out of battle in a matter of minutes. When a total of thirty-six jet boats were separated from their respective big ships, one after another of pure white fireworks bloomed immediately on the mirror-like ice field. These huge patterns centered on the magic ship, and each one radiated outward. Out came four long snowflakes, terminating in the jet boat from which they were spun. As time goes by, different trajectories gradually intertwine with each other, and the raised ice chips slowly fall down, and finally become a piece of whiteness.
Melukidick stopped attacking at first—he seemed curious as to what the people down there were up to. A few minutes later, when the Crimson King got tired of this ice show, he immediately summoned a violent rain of fire. Thousands of fire beads roared down from the burning sky, and then splashed on the snow-white earth. The boiling magma turned into a sharp blade, mercilessly cutting the original well-ordered pattern.
The speed of the jet boats gave the helmsman enough time to dodge the falling flames, but a few fled into blind spots, shattered to pieces the instant they were hit by the red meteor, and when the last small boat was out of sight , a total of seven piles of scorched black wreckage appeared on the ice—only twenty-nine small boats survived this round of attack. But fortunately, the Crimson King had no intention of chasing the wounded. The figure exuding heat and fear was still right above the fleet, maintaining the same forward speed as the magic ship.
"It's completely consistent with the judgment. This guy is very proud and likes to fight head-on." Liston muttered to himself, looking down at the quartz timer. A few seconds later, the commander's voice rang in everyone's ears.
"Everyone, from now on, we are the protagonists on the stage~! The fleet will arrive at the edge of the Mirror Forest in 20 and 34 seconds. For a head-to-head confrontation, the battle plan will be released in five minutes. But before that battle begins, there is a difficulty that must be overcome." The dwarf paused, "This time the magic ship will not stop, we have to The moment the boat crashes into the forest, jump out of the railing, otherwise you will die under the attack of that bastard—it is absolutely impossible for him to miss the fixed target. I hope everyone thinks about countermeasures before studying the battle plan~! Think about it with your toes, only the survivors are eligible to participate in combat."
"It's really a bad pre-war mobilization. He seems to be very bad at boosting morale." Roland walked to Katoli's side and joked casually.
"I'm afraid that even in the face of the alliance's paladins, the Crimson King will be able to win without any effort? That guy is an existence second only to God, and he is right in front of his inescapable eyes... Do you really want to stay?" the girl asked each other worriedly.
"It's too late to regret it now, and... I should ask you this question?" The demon hunter shrugged in surprise, "After all, paladins may not be very good at fighting demons and heretics."
"Well, this time is likely to be the last battle. Before... I never felt that death would be so close to me. However, Xiu Yin has returned to the Star Capital with my order. Even if we die here, he will definitely be able to Complete the mission entrusted by Luvis." Katoli subconsciously avoided those water-colored pupils, and an uncontrollable sense of self-loathing occupied all her thoughts in an instant.
As Ishutori's envoy, what would Kaos think? Protecting me all the way until now, but finally got such a decision... Will he hate me because of it? Maybe he had anticipated my decision long ago, but why didn't he stop it? Why should you stay? Why do you not care about this shameful betrayal? Why can you always smile at me like that? How does he feel about me...
"As I thought, this is a very wise decision." Roland commented indiscriminately, and then changed the subject, "But why did you stay?"
"The Capital of the Stars accepted me without any complaints, so I also want to use my strength to protect her." The corner of the girl's mouth showed a faint smile from the bottom of her heart, "And...on the other hand, if even the Dark Eagle knows Which path to choose, how can I be confused or afraid in such a question?"
"I see."
"Then, why did Kaos stay?" Katoli lowered her head and asked cautiously.
"The reason is the same as yours." Roland replied briefly, turning his gaze back to the flaming battlefield.
Katoli, we are very similar, but completely different, just like two mirrors reflecting each other, maybe we will get lost in each other's shadow when we unknowingly look at each other
