Chapter 23 Chess Game (7)
Link never expected that the truth would be like this, "I always thought you were just a psychopath, but I didn't expect that even your physiological behavior would be abnormal."
[Hmph...] Shuanghan let out an unknown sneer, [The body is just a bondage of the soul. Once you are free from birth, old age, sickness and death, you will understand how stupid it is to be bound by gender.]
Sneer—Link laughed out loud.
"You are just a coward who is afraid of death. You bent your knees to death in order to continue your existence. You dare to speak out loud, and you will be so laughing!"
These words surprised the three people next to them, including Lorelai, who was hiding deep in Link's consciousness.
Link has always been too easy-going, even a little pure and desireless, and does not seem to have a personality that can argue with others.
Doyle's skeptical eyes glanced back and forth between Link and the Lich, this familiar tone... do they know?
Although Link had heard that he and Shuanghan were old enemies, Orlando never expected Link to use such a mean tone. If he angered Shuanghan... he was the worst of the four, and it is hard to guarantee that he would not be affected by Link's temporary power of verbal power.
Frost Han was not bothered in the face of Link's ridicule.
[Oh...Who are you holding on for? Your friend Rhode? Or is it the unlucky Thunder who has no direct connection? Or is it the greedy and inadequate snake swallowing elephant? I feel the familiar breath, it has absorbed their destiny? I heard that you have taken away all the soul energy of Lorelai and did the same thing as me. What qualifications do you have to scold me in a lesson tone?]
Shuanghan's reply made Alicina gasp, and Doyle's eyes looked at Link became more complicated. It turned out that the woman in white she saw in Link's consciousness was Lorelai.
Since becoming a goddess, this name has become a taboo. Not only ordinary people, but no one dares to use it even the powerful royal family. Now, you have to add a prefix to this name, before. Magic Goddess.
"Lorelai's soul fragment is here with me. Why, do you want to talk to her? I can satisfy your wish."
Orlando noticed that the forest in Link was quietly turning, thinking, was he going to use the move to destroy the empty spirit?
Shuanghan was silent for a moment and laughed out loud.
[I thought I was smart enough to deceive people. I didn't expect you to reach the pinnacle. It turns out that you are a little older and have richer experience.]
This sentence made the other three confused. What does it mean to be a little older? Frost Han has become famous for a hundred years, and no matter how you calculate it, it is even older than the son of nature.
"I said it last time, you talk too much nonsense!"
Link used the prepared cracked beam, which was the most lethal of his few self-created spells. Link was not stupid enough to attack Shuanghan, who had the title of Lich King, with a large number of magic missiles.
The red light stopped after hitting the invisible barrier, and the attack and defense burst out with fierce sparks. Not only the rooftop, but also the entire mountain swayed. In the end, Link's beam penetrated the barrier and hit the lich's waist. The already shriveled body quickly decayed and turned into particles and dissipated with the wind.
I didn't take this seemingly simple blow to my heart. The flames of Frost Han's soul suddenly rose.
He can actually penetrate the barrier that uses mental power to create and implicit the law of cause and effect. What kind of power is this? It is not the magic power derived from elements, nor is it the spiritual power of one's own, divine power? No! If divine power is absolutely impossible to break through my barrier, unless... he also uses the law of cause and effect. And the priority is higher than the causality set by me.
Link was also a little surprised that the cracking beam could destroy the barrier of Shuanghan. He originally thought that he would have to fight for three hundred rounds to win. He didn't expect it to be so easy... However, when he thought that this was a substitute in front of him, his high fighting spirit immediately extinguished.
Not only Link, but even Alicina and Orlando were inexplicably discouraged. They also thought that this would be a tough battle. Who would have thought that Shuanghan would lose in one move. Even if he possessed the medium, he would not be so weak. Is that strong death aura that makes people fear from the bottom of his heart a decoration?
"Do you know what kind of spell it is?" Orlando has contacted quite a few mages. They can only contact the barrier when they touch it. Only when they touch it can remove all the great cracks of magic effects, but the casting effect is not very similar. Moreover, the spell of the Son of Nature should be a magical art, and cannot be classified as a spell. The most proud thing about Shuanghan is neither magic nor magical art, but the law of cause and effect obtained through the qualifications of voters. The Lich King was defeated before he even had time to cast his own proud skills... This is simply unimaginable. The victory came too suddenly, so strange that Orlando was frightened. He seemed to have returned to the ladder guarded by the Void Spirit, cold, as if he was breathing, blowing on his back.
Alicina didn't know how to answer the half-elves' question. When Link casts a spell, a powerful divine power bursts out, but the beam of light emitted from his palm is not divine power, and can only be barely called pure energy.
Link looked down at his hands. The splitting beam was just a spell name he took casually. His original intention was to win with a pure energy blow, rather than spending huge magic and divine power to create gorgeous spells that were just like that. He himself did not know what energy was allowed to use after praying to the pillar.
In any case, it seemed... something was wrong! It was very wrong. Is there any other conspiracy?
[It is worthy of being the one who can destroy the life box of me in the exile land. Please accept my great gift.]
The lich, who had only half his head left, turned his sight to Orlando.
【Die, the last direct line of the Doyle family!】
Orlando fell to the ground with a shocked expression. Link was shocked and hurriedly ran over, reached out to touch her, and her breathing and heartbeat stopped.
Alicina retracted her hand that casts the healing technique and slowly shook her head: "One blow will kill, it is the cause and effect of Shuanghan's destiny to become famous."
There was no chance of treatment, and the moment the law of cause and effect came into effect, the half-elf was already dead.
Link turned his head, the lich's body had completely dissipated, and the ashes were blown by the wind and scattered everywhere.
Wait! What is Shuanghan’s last sentence? The last direct line of the Doyle family? Orlando is from the Doyle family?
The feeling of uneasiness emerged again, even stronger than the previous few times.
Thinking of Doyle not speaking for a long time, Link hurriedly looked at her and suddenly she was in a bad mood. She saw her eyes straight, as if she had lost her soul, staring blankly ahead.
"Look at her, something seems wrong..." Link signaled Alicina to hurry up and see Doyle's situation. Unexpectedly, the great priest fell to the ground with a "thump" and covered his stomach tightly, and blood overflowed from his fingertips.
The sudden change made Link a little confused. In the blink of an eye, he was killed and injured.
Alicina tried her best to turn her head and look at Link. Her face was covered with blood. Her lips opened several times before she let out a faint voice: "Seal...help me...her seal..."
Before Link could use his healing technique, he was swept away by a huge force and fell directly from the rooftop on the top of the mountain.
Not daring to waste the little divine power left, Link transformed into a normal-shaped Feng Falcon. He stopped falling. When he flew back to the rooftop, the great priest had already fallen to the ground, and blood was flowing a lot. Doyle disappeared, and replaced by a ball of black flames.
The low roar echoed on the top of the mountain. This obviously belonged to the beast was the only one that comforted Link among a series of sharp changes.
The closer the demon is to the human form, the higher the intelligence, the larger the body, the stronger the rank. If he must fight, he would rather be a simple-minded beast than a human form.
A huge claw poked out from the black magic flame, with long claws and scales, which were not friendly creatures no matter how you looked. Then another one was. Then a head full of scales stretched out.
Link immediately overturned his previous glory. Even the illiterate farmers could recognize him. He was a dragon!
In addition to Longyan Castle, he had never seen a dragon in Edgar... no, including the dream world of Earth, and had never even seen records of essential creatures in this fantasy novel. He originally thought that Edgar's dragon had become extinct, but he did not expect it to be a chaotic creature.
[You are wrong. Edgar's dragons have always been there, but they are not allowed to enter the Central Continent. They are scattered on islands outside the sea.] Lorelai reminded Link in his consciousness, [That half-demon's patriarch must be the Abyss Demon Dragon. Be careful, the level of danger is higher than that of the Void Spirit.]
In just a few seconds, after unsealing the seal, Doyle had turned into no human appearance at all. What surprised Link the most was that it was a double-headed dragon, one of which had a giant python-like neck drooping, while the other stared at the wind falcon in the air that was not enough to be stuck in the teeth. The demon dragon's body was larger than the giant wind falcon that Link had transformed before. The originally spacious rooftop was filled with it. The corpses of Duke Herbert and his two sons turned black and gray under the scorching of the magic fire. Although Orlando and Alicina were not dead, their clothes began to smoke.
Two-headed...half-demon...seal...
The information about Doyle was pitifully scattered in Link's mind, and he pulled out the only full name Orlando had called out from his memory, Villa Doyle...
"You are Vera?"
"Yes, I'm Vera." After saying that, a palpitational inhalation sounded.
Regardless of the loss of divine power, Link hurriedly added acceleration technique to himself and suddenly pulled up a piece. The black magic fire almost spurted out against Feng Fang's tail feather. He could even feel the heat of the flame. If it weren't for the son of nature, just passing by, the magic fire in the abyss had already roasted him into charcoal.
The black dragon squinted his eyes, and a small ball of black Mars spewed out from his nose, as if regretting that he had not turned Link into a roasted bird. It moved its limbs and the rooftop on the top of the mountain collapsed halfway.
He didn't dare to look at Orlando and Alicina on the ground too obviously. Link was afraid that the demon dragon would step them into meat paste with one foot. The half-elf was dead, but the great priest next to him was still breathing. Not to mention how to deal with the end of the current situation, just the third person of the Chenxi Sect lost here, Link couldn't explain it.
At that time, he swore his chest and promised that he would definitely control Doyle. Now, not only did he not keep his promise, but he was in danger, and Woran might also be destroyed by the demon dragon that broke free from the seal.
He was wary of everything, but he still stepped into the trap of Shuanghan and fell into his plan.
Link became larger, grabbed Orlando's body and Alicina who was so angry that she was so angry, and took them away from the city. Even if they were to fight, they could not be here. With the body shape and destructive power of the demon dragon, the casualties caused by the deaths and deaths definitely exceeded those of the undead.
"Do you want to escape?" The demon dragon bulged its flesh wings and also took off. The flight of two giant creatures once again triggered panic among the soldiers guarding the city.
Hansen stared at the mountaintop rooftop where black smoke was still emitting, muttering to himself, not knowing what he was talking about.
The mage beside him came over and asked if he wanted to take the opportunity to evacuate the people in the city? Not only the undead, but even the abyss demon dragon appeared. This city of Wolan would definitely not be able to defend. If you escape, there might be a way out.
"Escape? Where can we escape?" The suggestion of running back to Hanson's attention.
Another mage pointed to the north.
Wood Elf? Is the Duke willing to lend a helping hand when he treats his former alliance like this? Hansen is unsure.
"Didn't the son of nature just say that the wood elves will send reinforcements? Let's go quickly, take advantage of the fact that they have not started fighting yet. If it were a little later, I don't know how many people would die." The mage who was the first to speak repeatedly urged and could not delay any longer.
It's right. Instead of staying to defend yourself, it's better to escape in dispersed ways...
Hansen called the commander to tell him to convey his orders to the defenders in various parts of the city to abandon the city. Anyway, Doyle's team has been finished, so he has no need to be loyal to such a lord.
There was no death knight. The two corpse witches and the remaining skeletons could not suppress the scene at all. The men took the best weapons they could find and protected their families from the holes that the soldiers had torn to death to the north.
In the opposite direction, Link galloped rapidly. Although the magic dragon was large, its speed was not slower than the Feng Falcon. It also sprayed a mouthful of black magic fire from time to time. It forced Link to dodge left and right, for fear of accidentally burning the great priest in his claws to death.
While the air chase was ongoing, Link quickly turned his brain.
If Shuang Han said everything is true, then from the beginning, sending Doyle to the Chenxi Sect is part of the conspiracy. The great demon and humans gave birth to children, so how could Chenxi, who is the mortal enemy of the camp, sit idly by and drop the oracle to the believers? Shuang Han simply took advantage of this and played a play with Boer. Is there any safer place in the world than there?
Link had guessed that the so-called seal was actually the direct line of the Doyle family. Using this as a seal, the priest must be very relieved. As long as the Duke's family is not dead, the seal will not be loose. Francesca never thought that from the beginning, it was plotted against by Shuanghan.
I just told me why Shuanghan found out that I went to Krenberg but didn't stop it. From the beginning, its goal was to unseal the seal. As for how to control the demon dragon to decontaminate the column...
The demon fire behind him approached again. Before he knew it, the demon dragon had caught up with Feng Fang. It cracked its mouth and revealed a row of interlaced huge teeth. After this slightly terrifying "smile", its throat began to shine, and a ball of flame spewed out. It was still red inside its body. After leaving its mouth, it immediately turned dark, just like the color of an abyss, which made people frightened and desperate.
Link fell sharply, gently threw the two people in his claws to the ground, flapping his wings and hitting the demon dragon chasing him.
The huge impact force caused the two giant beasts to bounce away separately, and the demon dragon fell to the ground, making a whimper in his throat.
Link hit hard, and when he stabilized his body, he was facing a black afterimage. With a dull sound, Feng Falcon was pulled away, and the damage made Link unable to maintain deformation.
After imposing a natural healing on himself, Link stood up straight with great pain.
No need for lengthy spells, magical creatures are born with elemental power, and can release magic energy in every move. The stronger the magical creature, the stronger the power. To achieve individuals and energy like the magic dragon, there is no need to use any complex attack methods. Simple elemental breathing and physical attacks are enough to meet the enemy. Only by dealing with quite strong enemies can magic be used. Unlike the mortal arts that human mages have worked hard to study, it is real magic.
The demon dragon tilted his head, just like a child who saw a toy, with curiosity in his apricot yellow vertical pupils.
Pooh--
After spitting blood, Link rubbed his abdomen. The blow just now severely damaged his internal organs. Fortunately, the son of nature is strong. Not to mention humans, even the hard rocks were broken.
[What are you going to do?] In the pursuit, in order not to distract Link, Lorelai did not speak out.
[Miscalling, I would never have thought that Doyle's demonic bloodline is the Demon Dragon lineage.] Link didn't know what to do. While flying with the great priest, he also spent his divine power to heal her. He had to rely on his current divine power to fight with a thick-skinned and thick-skinned demon dragon. Obviously, he had no chance of winning.
[It is neither schizophrenia nor a single soul, but a double head. One body, two heads, an independent personality, and an independent soul. I thought that if I convinced Doyle, I could gain a little advantage in the battle with Shuanghan, but I didn't expect to lose even if I still make a plan] Link smiled bitterly.
[If I do it, the magic dragon belongs to fire, and the water system I am best at can suppress it.] Lorelai suggested.
[You can't use the divine power that belongs to the Son of Nature, so what should you fight with it?]
Lorelai did not answer, Link knew that Lorelai was going to fight for the energy of his soul fragments, and he refused without thinking.
[You are no match for it now. If you die, I can't live, so it's better to sacrifice one.] Lorelai has made up his mind that she died the moment she was driven off the altar. Now what remains are just a wisp of consciousness and scattered soul fragments.
Link had thought of using a cracked beam that could penetrate even the Frost Cold barrier, regardless of whether there was enough divine power to release it. If the demon dragon Vila was really killed, wouldn’t Doyle, who was one of it, die? When he thought of the unlucky and miserable Doyle, Link hesitated.
I promised to give her the chance to choose, but now I have become the driving force that will make her break free from the seal. Has she lost her last trace of humanity and chose to become a demon completely?
[It's time, you are still hesitant! Leave control of your body to me!] Lorelai urged impatiently.
[No, once, just once, I don’t give up. I want to ask Doyle, you must make the promise you said, otherwise I have any qualifications to accuse Shuanghan.] Make up my mind, Link shouted at the Demon Dragon.
Chapter completed!
