The Saints couldn't believe that the object they and their group were looking for was actually standing in front of them, and it was still in a hostile state. However, after taking a closer look at the female knight, I discovered that some of her facial features were indeed very consistent.
"Have you also been deceived by the devil?" El Cid asked seriously.
Judging from Athena's expression, it was obvious that after learning that her group was entrusted by Princess Haidee to rescue her, Athena still did not show much excitement. On the contrary, she had a strange expression. Indifferent, it seems that she trusts Kuraus on the side more than El Cid and his party.
"I am not bewitched or bound. I can leave here at any time if I want."
"Then don't you want to return to Princess Haidee? The princess needs your help now."
Athena shook her head silently: "I will not go anywhere. Everything that happens in the Zegus Kingdom has nothing to do with me."
"Including the murder of Princess Haidee by the cultists and the subversion of the entire country, don't you have any relatives or friends worth cherishing?" El Cid asked sternly.
"I have already said that everything that happens in the Kingdom of Zegus has nothing to do with me. Even Her Highness the Princess, what she desires is not the justice I expect."
Athena looks very similar to Kuraus at this moment. They both seem to have abandoned all ideas and emotions and fallen into the fantasy called 'justice'. This is a deformed and twisted psychological state that makes people feel confused. There was an unspeakable feeling of discomfort, but the eyes of Athena and Kuraus revealed incredible enthusiasm and determination, like martyrs who could sacrifice their lives at any time.
El Cid couldn't help but recall Pernleus's description of the Lord of Chaos, that crazy and disorderly demon Lord. Some of his followers were villains who had committed crimes, but some were people who had exercised justice as their duty. However, In the end, under the control of the Lord of Chaos, these people will go to extremes in their emotions and ideas, and eventually make irreparable mistakes.
Now how to do
Looking at Athena who looked like she was ready to die, it was almost impossible to take her away peacefully. But she must not be allowed to stay and be brainwashed by demons and cultists.
Elshid clenched his fist fiercely and then assumed a fighting posture: "So offended, we can't let you stay among these cultists."
As soon as he finished speaking, the golden sword energy swept out. The fierce and domineering momentum made Kuraus dare not face the sword energy directly. He could only temporarily avoid the edge with Athena. Just as the two of them moved to the left and right While jumping away. Caludia had already taken action, firing three scarlet poison needles without hesitation to block Kurauus's retreat. One of the scarlet poison needles was deflected by Kuraus with his sword, while the other two were It hit Kurvus's right abdomen and left leg, even though Kurvus tried his best to endure it. But the intense pain caused by the golden scorpion's poison also made his face distorted and hideous for a while.
Kaludia sneered: "How? Now your chaotic head is a little clearer."
"Uh uh┉┉you┉┉go to hell!"
Being provoked, Kuraus gritted his teeth and waved the long sword in his hand regardless of the severe pain that spread throughout his body. The blade of the sword that glowed with cyan light was like an invisible sword that could be freely retracted, even if the blade had not yet touched. Object, but the sword energy condensed on it had already begun to destroy everything in advance. Facing the power of this invisible sword, even Caludia was temporarily forced to retreat step by step.
"You're quite energetic~ In that case, I'll give you a few more courses of treatment!" Caludia slowly became angry, and fired two scarlet poisonous needles again, putting Kuraus in danger for a while.
Seeing that the two were separated, Elcid left to confront Athena so that she could not support Kuraus. As the most trusted female knight leader of Princess Haidee, Athena was very powerful and had excellent swordsmanship. . Moreover, the female swordswoman is not only good at using ordinary-sized long swords, she is also good at using a two-handed heavy sword. After Athena took off the two-handed heavy sword on her back, this big and small one looked like it was not ordinary. For a while, the two swords were evenly matched with El Cid.
Athena looked solemnly, holding the heavy sword in both hands, and struck hard, making the entire three-story corridor tremble slightly. With this blow, the entire corridor was penetrated by the heavy sword, and then the female knight raised the sword vigorously. He brought out countless flying stones and hit El Cid.
The small flying stones that were as fast as arrows were all knocked down by El Cid's sword, and the golden sword energy swept away again like layers of extremely sharp razor arrays, surrounding Athena.
Under El Cid's offensive, Athena began to slowly fall into a disadvantage. In terms of swordsmanship, Athena was indeed not inferior to Kuraus or even El Cid, but after all, El Cid had already replaced the sword with his sword. Her arms are as flexible as her fingers. No matter how superb Athena's swordsmanship is, she can't compare to it. Not to mention that the two Golden Saints have the upper hand in terms of physical strength.
It is unbelievable that there are actually people in this world who have flesh and blood to compete with steel!
What shocked Athena the most was El Cid's sharp blade-like hands. Not only could they withstand the attack of her heavy sword, but this weapon that had reached a quasi-excellent level had been destroyed by the golden sword energy. Chopping until cracks began to appear.
"Wake up, Athena. Can't you see that something is wrong with the situation in this prison?" Elcid shouted.
Although Athena had been put at a disadvantage, Elcid did not use all her strength. After all, the female knight in front of her was Haidee's most trusted person, and she was also an important factor in the implementation of Pernlius's plan. No matter what, Athena must be allowed to live and return to Princess Haidee with her group.
Athena counterattacked unappreciatively: "I'm sober! I also said that I stayed here voluntarily, and I am willing to assist Kuraus in managing this place. I am also willing to assist him in realizing his justice."
Avoiding Athena's blow, Elsid volleyed with a side kick and kicked Athena in the abdomen, just like the female knight had just attacked Caludia, but this blow made Athena He fell to the ground with a muffled groan, and even the heavy sword in his hand fell away.
Holding her burning and painful lower abdomen, Athena leaned on the wall and stood up again. Although she lost a sword, Athena still had one in her hand.
"Think carefully about Athena, you should be clear about the situation in this prison. Look at the prisoners as if they have lost their souls, and look at yourself as if you have forgotten everything and fallen into some kind of self-contradiction and distortion. The same in persistence."
"No! I┉┉" Athena shook her head and seemed a little confused, but soon a murderous intent flashed in the female knight's eyes: "I'm normal, it's you who should get out of here!"
It’s totally gone!
El Cid sighed secretly. It seemed that the female knight's mind had been completely distorted, becoming exactly like the guy named Kuraus. A twisted obsession dominated her soul. Since it is no longer possible to take Athena away by peaceful means, the only thing that can be done is┉┉
Turning aside to avoid Athena's sword stab, El Cid used his strength to twist Athena's wrist. Athena, who had received strict training for a long time, suddenly noticed El Cid's purpose and immediately Desperately twisting her body, she tried to fight back, but the armor she was wearing at the moment made it difficult for Athena to move. In addition, El Cid was faster and more powerful and quickly stopped Athena.
"excuse me!"
Before Athena had time to struggle, El Cid accurately cut Athena's neck with a knife and made her unconscious.
After knocking Athena unconscious, suddenly there was a clanking sound behind El Cid. Turning his head, El Cid realized that it was Kaludia's helmet that had been knocked to the ground. El Cid was slightly surprised that there was a small blood mark on Kaludia's cheek, which was obviously a result of the loss just now.
The warden named Kuraus still looked a bit confused.
El Cid couldn't help but cast his eyes on Kuraus, who had been hit by twelve scarlet poisonous needles at this moment. The blood flowing out from the small wounds almost covered Kuraus's body. They were all stained red, but that was it. Even with twelve needles in his body, Kuraus could still stand in front of Kalutia. Although his face was distorted due to pain, his hands holding the sword were not even. Shake it up.
Kaludia wiped the blood on his face and said with rare praise: "You were hit by twelve scarlet poisonous needles and still refused to give in. Although you are an enemy, I still have to praise you! You guy ran to follow It’s a shame that cultists are mixed together.”
At this moment, the three Silver Saints also gathered around. It was obvious that all the guards had been defeated, but when they saw Kuraus covered in blood, the Silver Saints were also very surprised by the strength of the opponent's perseverance.
"Although he is a guy with a twisted personality, he really has a lot of backbone."
"Surrender Kuravus, all your men have been defeated, and now you are the only one left here."
For someone like Kuraus, even if he is in the hostile camp, he is still worthy of admiration. Moreover, Kuraus might just be bewitched by cultists and demons. In fact, his nature is vaguely not that bad, but He became very extreme, just like what Perenlius said, the Lord of Chaos drove him to extremes. For such people, the Saints did not want to kill him directly.
"No! I'm not defeated┉┉"
Kurvus, who was suddenly weak from blood loss, suddenly opened his eyes wide, and stabbed his chest with his hand fiercely in front of everyone: "My justice will never be defeated┉┉"
Blood spattered, and a bloody heart was taken out by Kuraus from his chest! (~^~)
