"Old man." No matter what Malloryt thought of him, at least Kevin still regarded Malloryt as his friend. The bald paladin asked casually, "If you had won that battle, would you have killed me?"
"No." Malolite shook his head after thinking about it, and he smiled helplessly: "Is it still useful to say this now? I, Malolite, don't like to make excuses. You did beat me, even in a Won with God’s help.”
"Yeah..." Kevin murmured to himself: "Without the help of my Lord, I would not be your opponent after all..."
…
A dozen days ago, just when Regnar had just returned to Merindel and started his painful and happy daily life again. Malolite, who left the Dark Light City alone, also arrived at the destination of his trip.
He is still in the Underdark, because he is looking for an elf here, the holy elf assassin named Veles Deep Shadow.
It was the foot of a volcano in the Underdark. Active volcanoes like this were very common in the Underdark. However, as the strongest swordsman in the Hawke Empire, even if he is directly faced with a volcanic eruption, his life will not be in danger. At most, he will feel hot.
Malolite walked to a vast flat land at the foot of the mountain, and then saw Villes. This elf set up a small tent here, with some daily necessities placed in the tent. Now he was setting up a bonfire, where he was roasting the meat of some beast that was unique to the Underdark.
"I remember that elves are supposed to be vegetarians." Malloryt walked up to Velez and chatted casually as if the two of them had lived here for a long time.
"You should know that I am a quarter of human blood." Velez's eyes were still focused on the dancing flames and the fragrant barbecue. He said without looking back: "And, I am in the human world. After living for twenty years, I have long adapted to human eating habits, and meat has been included in my menu. In fact, I also like the taste of this kind of food."
"You elf freak." Malolite couldn't help but mutter under his breath.
Velez's body stiffened for a moment, then he slowly turned his head and stared at Malolite with gloomy and resentful eyes: "I remember I said more than once, please don't call me this way."
"Otherwise what?" Malloryt looked arrogant and nonchalant, even though Velez's expression coupled with the hideous scar on his face was enough to scare a timid girl under the age of twenty into tears. But Malloryt stared back without giving in. The Gale Sword Master asked coldly: "You should also know my bottom line. Why do you want to touch it?"
"I have never touched your bottom line." The viciousness on Velez's face disappeared instantly. He regained his past calmness and calmness, and then said calmly: "I just want to achieve my goal."
"For your purpose, what are you going to do?" Malloryt suppressed his anger and asked: "I have been to Falling Star City before, and also entered the lair of the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild. Your Alchemy Department is now here again Study the inheritance and transfer of attribute abilities! Do you know what this means?"
"Of course I know that if this research is successful, it will mean unprecedented power." Villes replied nonchalantly: "And power is the most important tool for me to achieve my goal."
"You can't control it!" Malloryt couldn't help shouting: "As a user with attribute abilities, I have a say more than you! You absolutely can't control that power!"
"I know this without you having to tell me. But... who said that I want to control that power by myself?" Villes smiled meaningfully.
"What did you say?!" Malolite couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this. He spent half a second carefully savoring Villes's words, and then a thought that even he felt shuddered came from came to his mind.
"Could it be..." Malolite guessed with some horror, but Velez did not give him time to think about whether this idea was possible.
After the Sanctuary Assassin finished speaking, he took a bite of the barbecue as if nothing had happened. When the meat reached his mouth, Malolite was most shocked. At this moment, a bright light flashed in Velez's eyes, and his figure suddenly disappeared in front of Malolite. Immediately afterwards, an almost imperceptible spatial fluctuation appeared behind the Gale Sword Master.
Malolite reacted suddenly at the last moment, and he shouted loudly to burst out his fighting spirit. Then the light blue spherical shield appeared again just like the last time he helped Regnar to forcefully pick up the Big Worship Vajra Palm.
Ding!
Velez felt that the long sword in his hand made a crisp sound as if it had struck steel, but the elf who knew the details of Malolite knew very well that it was not steel at all. So he continued to use his strength and made a fierce horizontal slash at the cost of exposing his stealth state.
"Ugh!" Malloryt let out a cry of pain, but the Gale Sword Master still turned forward flexibly. When he stood still again, he already had a green long sword in his hand - blue flash.
All this happened in an instant. When Malolite stood still again, the piece of barbecue that Villes was holding just fell to the ground.
Malloryt stared coldly at Villes, who looked calm and calm not far away, and then asked: "What exactly do you mean? What do you mean it's not for your use?"
"At this time, you are still here to pay attention to this issue?" Villes laughed with a somewhat mocking expression: "Guess, are those words just nonsense that I said to hinder your state of mind?"
"What did you say..." Malloryt was stunned for a moment, but in the next moment he realized that now was not the time to consider this issue at all. Now he has an elf assassin who has also entered the sanctuary to face!
At the moment when Malolite was dazed, Verless entered the stealth state again. Although he can be regarded as Regnar's teacher, he and Regnar are different.
Although Regnar is proficient in stealth, disguise and assassination, so many years of experience have made him understand that frontal combat ability is sometimes the key factor that determines the direction of things. Moreover, Regnar, who possesses three powerful attributes such as Dark Body, Shadow Transmutation and Shadow Edge, does have the talent and qualifications to fight the enemy head-on. For Regnar, sneak attacks and assassinations are only an auxiliary means of fighting, but they are not his only way of fighting.
But Villes was different. For some reason, Villes put almost all of his energy into improving the skills of sneak attack and assassination. He tried to push the techniques of backstabbing and killing with one blow to the extreme. Therefore, Verles rarely engages in head-on fights with people. Even if it is a continuous battle, Verles will find ways to hide in the dark, and then kill the enemy in an unexpected way.
Malolite didn't look particularly panicked after seeing Villes disappear. It was obvious that Verles knew Malolite, and Malolite also knew Verles very well. He understood that this elf assassin pursued the ultimate lethality every time he made a move, but...
Malloryt couldn't help but laugh with a bit of irony when thinking of this: "Twenty years ago, you were a despicable villain who could only hide in the dark and do things. Now, have you still not changed? Even in front of The enemy has no courage, you deserve to live in the shadows your whole life!"
As soon as Malolite finished speaking, Velez's wave blade struck Malolite again. This time, Villeless swung eight swords in an instant. With Malolite as the center of the circle, they were evenly distributed around Malolite at an angle of 45 degrees.
Malloryt jumped up to avoid this horizontal attack with no blind spots. He stood on a big rock and then laughed: "When I was in front of Annie, I was afraid of hurting her. Could it be... you really Do you think there is nothing I can do with your wave blade?"
Naturally, Villes would not answer, there was not even a trace of his existence. This scene looked like Malolite was running around like crazy, muttering to himself and talking to a non-existent person. To be honest, the scene when fighting Villes was so weird.
"I can't see you." Malloryt stood there relaxedly and said loudly: "I can't sense you either. It's like you don't exist."
"Then, how do you attack an enemy that doesn't exist?" Verless stood not far away and looked at Malolite's back, thinking secretly.
"Back then, you did break through the shackles and successfully entered the Holy Realm with such power." Malloryt continued: "But, now this has also become a shackle that restricts your continued growth and strength. Today, I will let you See what the real sanctuary is!"
Malloryt looked down at the blue flash in his hand, and then sighed softly and said: "Get up, old man, today, let us fight the enemy side by side again."
…
A few minutes passed, but nothing happened. The blue flash was still the same as before, and no change seemed to be visible.
"Has the blue flash lost its power?" Velez was a little hesitant when he saw this scene. He didn't know if he was going to take advantage of this moment to go up and give Malolite a knife. But thinking of Malolite's terrifying strength, Velez felt that it was better to be on the safe side. This was a battle that was guaranteed to be won, and there was no need for him to risk it.
"..." Malloryt scratched his head in confusion. He looked at the blue flash, and then suddenly slapped his forehead: "Damn it, I actually remembered the wrong sword language... It's just a word difference, the blue flash is really To be more sincere...it's rare to say something so awesome..."
"Uh-huh!" Malloryt cleared his throat, and then said again: "Wake up, old man! This time, it's really your turn!"
So, with a head full of black lines, Verles saw the green sword in Malolite's hand making a slight buzzing sound with a look full of contempt. Then, the color of the shining blue sword began to change. It was originally green, but in just two or three seconds, the color of the sword changed from green to blue. In the end, the long sword turned blue just like its name.
And this is the true form of the blue shining artifact.
