Volume 7: Mortals and Gods Chapter 800 and 6: Sword Master (Part 2)
"Oedipus! Don't you feel any guilt about what happened back then?" Gladys shouted loudly.
"Guilt?"
Oedipus smiled coldly and said: "I, Oedipus, never feel guilty about the things I have done!
What's more, you were gentle and docile at first, but later became arrogant, irritable, and moody. How many people could tolerate you?
From the day you killed Britney and the child in her belly with one sword, there has been no relationship between us.
I’m afraid I’m not the one who feels guilty about what happened back then! Gladys, if you don’t leave, you’ll force me to kill you!”
Gladys's voice rose crazily along with her fighting spirit:
"You only remember Kesri's child! What about the child in my belly? You don't even know this child exists!
I tell you, on the night you cruelly abandoned me, I killed him! Oedipus, since you can abandon me, then I can kill your child!"
When he heard that Gladys also had a child, Oedipus's eyes finally fluctuated, but this ripple disappeared immediately.
On the side, the muscles on Godiva's face suddenly twitched, and the two-handed giant sword waving in the air stopped slightly before continuing to cut.
At this opportunity, the Cardinal of the Holy Empire suddenly retreated tens of meters away, his body flashing with milky white light. Several low-level healing spells were cast on himself, and he also treated Oedipus.
Oedipus looked at Gladys and said calmly:
"Gladys, what happened back then has long since passed. Now I am only interested in the sword in my hand. If you plan to continue this decisive battle, then I will kill you."
Gladys laughed wildly, her fighting spirit reaching its limit, and the many tiny wounds on her body spurted out thin lines of blood.
"Okay! Oedipus, come and kill me! Let's see who among us can kill whom!"
Gladys slowly raised the sword, the soft blade was straightened by the fighting spirit, and several strands of light blue wind could not help but dance around the blade.
Godiva looked at the Cardinal of the Holy Empire who stood ten meters away, motionless as a mountain, and slowly raised the giant sword with both hands above his head.
Buzz!
His giant sword made a trembling sound like a bell, and then a flash of flames quickly ignited from the hilt to the tip of the sword, and the hot air made his figure somewhat blurry.
A line of blood slowly flowed from his angry single eye. The battle armor condensed with fighting spirit on his body had disappeared, and it seemed that all his power had been concentrated on the giant sword in both hands.
Godiva roared, and along with the roar, several six-pointed stars condensed from fighting spirit flames appeared around him, slowly flying around his body.
The one-eyed dragon suddenly jumped into the air, carrying the giant sword like a clutch with the towering mountains, and chopped down the Cardinal of the Holy Empire head-on.
The cardinal also changed to holding the sword with both hands. The long sword seemed to be as heavy as ten thousand kilograms, and he slowly swung it upward to meet Godiva's sword edge!
A flash of light lit up between the blades of the two swords, and in an instant it was so bright that it took away all the colors in the world!
The sudden vindictive storm had nowhere to vent its violent energy, plowing out a large pit more than one meter deep on the hard ground, and the outer edge continued to expand outward!
In the center of the fighting spirit storm, the chain armor on Godiva's body had already been torn to pieces by the frenzied fighting spirit airflow. His strong body was quickly covered with wounds, and even pieces of flesh flew out!
However, his single eye dripping with blood still opened angrily, trying desperately to activate his fighting spirit, trying to cut the cardinal in half with his sword!
The giant sword cannot move forward at all, because what it wants to split is a high mountain.
The armor on the Cardinal's body is obviously much better than Godiva's chain armor. In such a violent storm, it was only covered with cracks and not broken. It was just that the Cardinal's helmet was blown away by the fighting spirit, revealing
A large amber gemstone is set on the forehead.
The cardinal's light gray eyes were ignited with blazing holy flames, and the gem on his forehead was also emitting bright brilliance.
The brilliance of the gem became brighter and brighter, and in a blink of an eye the intense amber brilliance overwhelmed everything else, filling Godiva's vision...
At this time, Gladys's sword silently met Oedipus's sword.
The fighting spirit attached to the edge of her sword instantly suppressed Oedipus' fighting spirit and shattered his sword in one fell swoop.
However, this blow was not without cost. Gladys suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, but she smiled almost crazily. The edge of the long sword trembled, shattering the sword master's edge inch by inch, and swam towards his heart.
!
Oedipus's handsome and delicate face suddenly became transparent, and a faint aqua-blue brilliance emerged from under his skin.
He threw down the long sword with only the hilt left in his hand, and the right hand that also became bright blue and transparent, as if carved from sapphire, actually grasped the edge of Gladys' sword!
Gladys's eyes widened in shock, because her sword edge could no longer advance even an inch, and Oedipus had a long sword made of pure fighting spirit in his left hand, and he struck her mercilessly with one sword.
Stab in the heart!
Gladys kept urging her fighting spirit, but in front of the fighting spirit in the starry sky as deep as the abyss, the waves caused by her fighting spirit disappeared into the sea in the blink of an eye.
"In the fifteen years since Britney's death, I have had nothing in my heart except the sword."
Oedipus's voice was emotionless. As he spoke, he slowly stabbed Gladys with his sword.
"As for you two, one only has hatred in his heart, and the other only knows how to escape, how can you be my opponent? By the way, now I don't need any powerful magic weapons at all!"
Although the sword edge condensed with fighting spirit advanced slowly, it finally touched Gladys's left chest.
Her gorgeous breastplate quickly dented, cracked, and shattered in front of the fighting spirit of the stars, and then the shirt under the armor tore apart without any wind, revealing her snow-white chest muscles.
There was a crisp sound, and the cardinal's long sword wrapped with holy fighting spirit struck from the side, deflecting Oedipus' long sword of fighting spirit.
Then he punched Gladys hard on the back, and the powerful fighting spirit attached to the punch shattered her defense in just one blow.
Gladys suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and her vest and armor were shattered. She shook slightly, then fell to the ground and fainted.
Oedipus frowned slightly and looked at the Cardinal quietly. The fighting spirit sword in his hand continued to shoot out little stars.
Under the illumination of the setting sun, the light of the gems on the Cardinal's forehead became softer and softer. He smiled and said:
"Dear Mr. Oedipus, since you have put aside your old relationship, why not give her to me! The golem army of the Cyril Empire is famous in the mainland, and I am very interested in this secret."
Oedipus looked at the unconscious Gladys and was silent.
He naturally knew what the Cardinal meant, and he also knew what would happen in the process of forcing Gladys to reveal the secret of the Golem Legion.
Although his heart was dead, the relationship between Gladys and him was extraordinary after all, so he remained silent.
Seeing his hesitation, the Cardinal frowned and said:
"Well, Mr. Oedipus, I know that you have an old friendship with Fenglan Sword Master. I can say hello to His Majesty the Pope. Among the new children admitted to the church this year, you will first select ten.
People, to pass on your starry sky fighting spirit. What do you think?"
Oedipus' fingertips trembled slightly.
Every year, the Holy Church selects a group of children with excellent qualifications from all over the mainland and provides corresponding training based on their respective characteristics.
Although not one out of ten of these children will eventually become a church, the establishment of holy churches has taken hundreds of years. As the power of the church grows, the number of churches increases.
The Holy Church and the Holy Knights are the core of the Holy Church's military force, and the growth of the Holy Church in turn promotes the expansion of the Holy Church's power.
With the current power of the Holy Church, there are still no more than a hundred children selected from all over the mainland every year. Naturally, everyone has extraordinary martial arts or magical talents.
If Oedipus can select ten people from among them, with his current attainments, given time, there will definitely be new sword masters among his disciples.
Oedipus did not answer the cardinal's question, but turned and left silently.
The Cardinal looked at Gladys, who was still unconscious, and smiled slightly.
