The Sword and The Shadow

Chapter 663: The promise of the past

Views:

The mage's hand gently held up Regnar, who was letting himself fall but was almost powerless. At this time, Regnar could only use his remaining strength to ensure that he would not be injured when he fell, but he wanted to control his fall. Landing safely at such speed is already impossible. But fortunately Angelista discovered Regna in mid-air, so the dark elf broke away from the shield and flew into the sky, using the hands of the mage to catch Regna who almost fell to pieces.

"Thank you." Regnar had already expected that Angelista would help him, so he was not surprised that he was rescued.

But Angelista, who had always done things casually and unreliably, changed her usual frivolous expression. She looked at Regnar with complicated and serious eyes, and after a few seconds she asked: "Is Nidhogg dead?" Already?"

"Yes." Regnar nodded and said as if talking to himself, "He is dead."

Angelista didn't say anything more and just brought Regna back to the ground. After landing, she helped Regna stand upright and then asked, "Then everything can be over."

"..." Regnar paused, but shook his head: "No, not yet."

After Regnar finished saying this, he turned his attention to Alexander, who had been watching the battle in the distance. Although Alexander did not directly participate in the war, without the protection of Regnar's divine shield, the young king now looked quite embarrassed. His originally dazzling golden hair was covered with filthy mud, and his face and body were also dirty. , with a gray face, he looks more like a beggar than a king.

"How much stamina do you still have?" Angelista was not surprised at all by Regner's performance. She just reminded him indifferently: "I will never directly intervene in this matter."

"Same as before, you just need to help me protect Irene and Yi Ni." Regnar replied as he staggered towards Alexander.

"Don't die, otherwise it will be a big loss for me to help you so much." Angelista shrugged.

"I will never die before killing him." Regnar stared at Alexander without looking back.

Alexander in the distance also felt Regnar's hateful gaze. He clenched his two-handed sword and glared at Regnar.

"You should have died long ago!" Alexander shouted at Regnar.

"Then let Nidhogg destroy this ugly empire of yours?" Regnar's deep voice echoed throughout the ruins of Merindl Square, deafening.

"Don't you understand? Even now, you are a danger to this world! You should not exist!" Alexander's anger began to burn.

Regnar sneered, and with a contemptuous tone, he walked towards Alexander and said: "Am I a danger to the world? The person who created the wave of death was Nidhogg, and the person who created the current Nidhogg is Your ancestor Ector and this empire. And I, I stopped the spread of the wave of death, and I even just killed Nidhogg. Am I in danger to this world? My danger is that I set I have achieved merits that the Empire cannot repay and have power that the Empire cannot control. This is my danger, the danger to the Empire, not the world."

"The merits and demerits cannot be offset. No matter how great your merits are, you can't hide the fact that your existence itself is a crime!" Alexander still insisted.

"Ah, I am a sin. I shouldn't exist in this world. It doesn't matter what you say. But..." Regnar's lazy tone suddenly changed. He almost roared and asked, "What mistake did Annie make?" ? What danger does Annie pose to the world? Why did you kill her again! Why?! Why?!"

"..." Alexander's momentum rarely weakened when he heard Annelotte's name, and he whispered: "She is very good, but she chose to be on your side, so she will die too."

"Then, go and bury him with him!" Regnar didn't know where he got the power from, and his figure became blurry in an instant. It was the ultimate level that even a strong man like Alexander could not capture. Speed, even though it is just a simple charge and thrust, it is also impossible to dodge because of its extremely fast speed.

When Regner's figure began to become blurry, Alexander felt as if his time had frozen. At that moment, he seemed to see the scene of his own death: the long sword passed through Alexander's heart directly in front of him, and Regner in front of him Na's expressions are complex, some of which are the pain and anger of losing a loved one, and some of which are the satisfaction and excitement of having a great revenge. His emotions were powerful and contagious, and Alexander could feel the man's pain even just by looking at his face.

But was he really doing all this wrong? Alexander had another question at that moment, but soon, he chose to deny it. He refused to admit that he had done anything wrong. He could admit that he was sorry for Regnar, but he would not admit that he was wrong. For the safety of this world, Regnar must die.

"But there's no point thinking about it now. Anyway, it's me who should die." This was Alexander's last thought at that moment.

Regnar's sword came in an instant, but Alexander did not feel the pain of the sword penetrating his heart. He came back to his senses somewhat unexpectedly, and saw the pink figure that had haunted him for ten years.

Lisanna, the female swordsman, woke up at some point and rushed in front of Regnar with a speed that was difficult for her to achieve normally.

"Get out of the way! Lisanna!" Regnar's sword had already pierced Lisanna's chest, but fortunately he stopped his thrust in time and did not directly pierce Lisanna's heart. But even so, Regner's face still looks ugly now. No one can stop him from avenging Annelotte, not even Lisanna, who has been so kind to him!

Lisanna's condition also looked quite bad. Her face was as pale as paper, and blood was constantly bleeding from the corners of her mouth and chest. The forced burst of speed when she was seriously injured obviously made her injuries worse. But even though her body was already shaky, Lisanna's eyes remained stubborn and firm. She slowly stretched her trembling right hand to her neck, then took off a jade pendant and displayed it in front of Regnar: "Don't... want... to hurt him..."

When Regnar saw this jade pendant, doubt first flashed across his face, then anger, and finally struggle and hesitation.

The jade pendant Lisanna showed him was not unfamiliar to him. It was something he had worn before. More than ten years ago, the Costa Fortress was attacked by the Stoker in a surprise attack, and Irene almost died. At that time, it was Lisanna who came to the battlefield alone regardless of the danger and saved Irene from the southerners. At that time, in order to repay Lisanna's kindness, Regnar gave this jade pendant to Lisanna. He once promised that as long as he saw this jade pendant, Regnar would do something for Lisanna, even if it was as difficult as going to heaven.

Seeing Regnar struggling like this, Lisanna also felt very sorry, but she still begged: "Don't... forget... your promise. Please... please... don't... hurt... Alexander."

Now, something extremely difficult for Regnar happened.
