"Just because of this man! Are you going to challenge me regardless of life or death?"
The great lord's voice became cold at this moment, and his questioning voice echoed in the hall of the dark temple like frost and cold wind. Under the shroud of cold will, a layer of frost visible to the naked eye quickly condensed on the ground.
Just for a moment, the dark hall seemed to be frozen.
Just like all parents in the world, seeing his originally well-behaved daughter choose to quarrel with her parents because of a hateful man, and even break up with them, caused the big lord's thinking to fall into a very bad misunderstanding.
.
Looking at it rationally, Flynn's arrest and Taelia's challenge to him are actually two unrelated things, but happening at the same time casts a different shadow on this matter.
The great lord's hatred for Flynn Fairwind increased by several levels in an instant.
Tyrion clearly remembered that he had indeed given Taliyah a chance.
At that time, he handed the refined dragon blood essence to Taelia and told her that at any time, when Taelia felt that the time was right, this stubborn girl could challenge the big lord and use a real battle.
Fight to resolve the obsession that cannot be eliminated in Taelia's heart.
As an undead, the Great Lord is very aware of the power of obsession. If this thing is not resolved, it will be like a seed buried in the earth, constantly absorbing nutrients from life and time, and eventually break through the barriers of the heart and reason, and then turn a person
A normal soul is completely distorted. It is often born out of hatred and pain, so it does not get good feedback. The power of obsession can completely destroy a person.
He hoped to use a battle, or challenge, to try this way, so that Taliyah could truly bid farewell to the past and integrate into a new life.
But the great lord never imagined that his precious daughter would one day choose to draw a sword against another man because of him.
He knew that this day would come, but he never thought that this scene would become so difficult. The undead's persistence in feelings is quite terrifying. The moment Taelia raised the sword, the anger in the heart of the great lord
and the pain became unbearable.
In the face of his questioning, Taliyah said nothing. The tit-for-tat confrontation between father and daughter made the entire hall feel like a battlefield. Cyrus and Dai Lin, who were beside Tyrion, both felt the changes.
, especially when the great lord stood up from the throne angrily, Dailin and Cyrus also stood up at the same time.
"Calm down! Tyrion!"
Dailin glared at Taliyah and Flynn behind her. He stepped forward, took Tyrion's wrist, and said in a deep voice:
"This kid doesn't mean that, you misunderstood her!"
"Misunderstand?"
Tyrion's voice did not change much, but the Ashbringer that jumped into his hand represented his thoughts at this time. The high lord looked at Tyria below, and he said coldly:
"Is this really a misunderstanding? My daughter?"
Looking at Tyrion's ice-blue eyes, Taliyah was a little afraid, but the emotion in her heart made her grit her teeth and responded to her father's question head-on:
"Even if Flynn is not here, father, I will still challenge you!"
"Enough!"
Bolvar grabbed Taelia's wrist and yelled angrily:
"You are dizzy, Taelia, apologize to Tyrion! You can't talk to your adoptive father like that!"
Facing her biological father's stop and the worry in Bolvar's eyes, Taliyah stiffened her neck, like a real warrior, and said to her biological father:
"No! Father, this is the agreement between Tyrion and I... Flynn's arrival only speeds up the process. There will always be a battle between us! This is for you and Cyrus!"
Taelia's answer caused the Duke of the Dead to tighten his fingers on her wrist. Bolvar glanced at Cyrus, the rear admiral of the Dead Sea Fleet and the former harbor master, who was beside him. Cyrus shook his head.
Taelia said:
"Silly boy, your father and I don't need you to do this for us at all! We don't want to see the current situation... What happened in the past may be due to fate, but it is our destiny and it has nothing to do with you.
, child, your father and I just hope that you can live happily! Instead of coming here so irrationally to do something that you can't do at all!"
"Go back, Taelia!"
Major General Cyrus stretched out his hand and patted Taelia on the shoulder. He said softly:
"I promise you, Flynn will not die. Go back and don't hurt Tyrion's heart again. He cares for you no less than we do."
"Yes, Taelia, I know you can fight, but challenging Tyrion... that's crazy!"
Even Flynn, who was standing behind Taelia, said to his girlfriend in a worried tone:
"You don't need to save me, I can face all this by myself, baby, I'm a man, I don't want my woman to save me, I mean..."
"Shut up!"
Bolvar and Cyrus interrupted Flynn at the same time. Bolvar said to the young man in a cold tone:
"We, father and daughter, are talking, but here, you have no place to speak! In my opinion, you are the source of all evil in this matter. Without you, none of this would have happened!"
"Father, this is not Flynn's fault."
The girl sighed. She raised her head and looked at her two fathers. She reached out and pulled out the sword from the ground, and then said:
"This is not just for you, father. Even if you don't want me to do this, I still have to do something for you. Otherwise, my conscience will not be at ease! Another voice in my mind has been scolding me for accepting a thief as my father...
.I am in pain, let me finish this thing. If it cannot be completed, I will never feel relaxed in my life."
After saying that, Taelia shook off Bolvar's hand holding her wrist and took two quick steps forward. She raised her head and looked at Tyrion on the throne with her black eyes. She shouted in a hoarse voice.
shouted:
"Tyrion! I'm here to challenge you!"
"very good!"
Taliyah's roar finally brought the anger in the great lord's heart to its peak. He looked at Dai Lin with a cold face. The latter sighed and let go of his hand. Tyrion walked down the stairs step by step.
The Ashbringer was heavy on his wrist, and the cold frost lingered on his body. He looked at Taelia holding the sword and shield in front of him, as if looking at a stranger:
"Look! This is my good daughter... You really make me sad!"
"Since you are so confident, let me see how hard my good daughter's wings are..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Ashbringer in the hand of the great lord brought out black sword shadows as he flipped his wrist, while Taelia took a step back and raised the shield in her hand in a standard warrior blocking posture.
Stand in front of you.
"Bang"
The Ashbringer exuding cold air came into contact with the surface of Taelia's shield. In less than a second, the shield made by the Black Iron Emperor Thaurissan himself was completely frozen from the inside out. In that extreme cold
Between them, the strongest steel was no tougher than wood. The moment she felt the terrifying power on her wrist, Taliyah's expression changed drastically and she threw away her shield and quickly retreated.
"哐"
Before the black heavy shield even touched the ground, it was like ice cracking. It was shaken by the force exerted by Tyrion and scattered like ice shards.
In the gorgeous flying ice flowers, the great lord maintained his chopping posture, and traces of pale frost power flowed on his body. He looked at his daughter who was retreating. Taliyah's left hand holding the shield was acting abnormally.
She was trembling, and there was already a thick layer of frost on the steel gauntlet on her left arm.
"I only used less than one-tenth of my strength, my daughter."
Tyrion held a sharp blade in his hand and walked leisurely towards the warrior girl who was doing her best in front of him. He said without any emotion:
"Listen to me, it's not too late to give up now!"
"But since childhood..."
Taliyah gritted her teeth, tore off the worn-out gauntlet on her left arm, and threw it at her feet. This enchanted armor could indeed resist magic, but it had its limits. Facing Tyrion's sharp offensive,
At that time, 90% of the defensive magic in the world was meaningless.
But the warrior girl did not show an expression of fear or despair. She raised her head and moved her frostbitten left arm. She held the Wind Chaser sword in her hands with both hands. She looked at Tyrion, and a smile belonging to a warrior appeared on her
Face rises:
"Since I was a child, father, you have never taught me what giving up means..."
The smile on Taelia's face made the great lord slightly stunned. He still remembered that when he first taught Taelia to fight, the child also had such a smile on her face, like an aggressive boy. At that time, she
How cute and well-behaved...
"It's my turn!"
Facing the God of Death with a sharp blade, Taliyah, who lost in the first round, not only did not give up, but launched a counterattack aggressively. Under the gaze of all the bosses, the child dragged the long sword with the power of wind and thunder towards her.
Tyrion, who was standing on the spot, launched a charge. At this moment, her body swept across the frozen platform like a gust of wind. The brute force of a warrior was exerted on the ground, causing the ice fragments released by the great lord to break.
"ah!"
The sharp blade of the Wind Chaser slashed towards the body of the great lord, and the fiery red anger bloomed like a flame, making the young girl look like a god of war. However, this swift blow failed to harm the great lord at all.
The moment the sword blade fell, Tyrion's body turned outwards strangely as if he had no bones, and the sword blade fell almost grazing his chest.
"The strength is enough, but the skills are just a little bit behind."
The high lord's fingers flicked on his daughter's sword-holding wrist, and the armor on Taliyah's arms made a harsh tearing sound as if being hit hard. The twisted steel was shattered.
In the meantime, the Wind Chaser came out of his hand and stabbed into the ground with a roar, while Taelia's hands seemed to have been cut open by a sharp blade, and blood spattered everywhere at this moment.
"It hurts."
Taliyah, who took several steps back, looked pale. Her hands were swaying, and bright red blood dripped from her fingers bit by bit. This inevitable blow was easily resolved by her father, which made her feel...
Unspeakable frustration.
The high lord stretched out his hand to grab the Wind Chaser. He glanced at his daughter and threw the sword back with a wave of his hand. The sword penetrated the ground under Taelia's feet, and the hilt trembled slightly.
"Are we going to admit defeat now?"
Tyrion's mocking voice came:
"Is this your confidence to challenge me? What are you going to use to defeat me? Taelia, use your tears?"
This bitter taunt made Taliyah grit her teeth. The stubborn girl grabbed the sword with her flesh-and-blood hands. She took a deep breath silently, and the fiery red anger rose up in Taliyah's body again.
After realizing that she could never compete with her father who had experienced many battles in terms of skills, the warrior girl sank her will into the sword in her hand.
The Wind Chaser is a truly legendary weapon. Its steel blade contains the pure power of wind and thunder. It is a self-aware weapon, and Taelia's connection with it is still slightly weak, but it is enough to mobilize this weapon.
The true power of the sword.
At Taliyah's call, the fine thunder and lightning followed the Wind Chaser's blade and wrapped around her fingers and arms bit by bit, intertwined with the fiery red anger, making Taliyah's body feel like
Anger like fire also evolves towards the way of mobilizing vertical and horizontal directions like thunder and lightning.
The moment the girl opened her eyes, a blue lightning flashed in the corner of her eyes.
"Shua"
Taelia's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot, like lightning rushing. When it reappeared, the thundering Wind Chaser sword was less than 1 inch away from the big lord's chest, like lightning.
As fast and fierce as it was, however, the sword blade, which was just a hair away from the target, could no longer make a breakthrough.
Because it was firmly held in the air by two slender, cold fingers.
"Just a little bit...my daughter."
The great lord looked at Taelia calmly and said:
"Try again!"
"哐"
Between the heavy blows, Taliyah's slender body flew backwards again. Tyrion controlled the power. This attack was not fatal, but the pain was unavoidable.
The girl stood up tremblingly from the fall. She gasped, stretched out her trembling hands, and wiped the blood seeping out of the corners of her mouth. In front of her eyes, her father lifted up the Wind Chaser, and between waving his fingers, the long
The sword was inserted at her feet accurately again, just like the sarcasm from the great lord.
"This is crazy! Wait for me, Taelia, I'll save you!"
Flynn watched his girlfriend grab the sword again. He clenched his fist and was about to rush into the battlefield, but the moment he raised his feet, the bone knife in Bolvar's hand was pressed against his neck.
Above, the soul fire in the eyes of the Undead Duke had swayed to a level similar to a storm. He looked at Flynn and said word by word:
"No! Go over there!"
"That's your daughter! You're crazy!"
Flynn's eyes were red and he retorted fiercely:
"That is also my future wife. I can't just watch her being tortured by a madman! Get out of the way!"
"Don't bother me! Flynn!"
Cyrus also scolded:
"The suspicion on you has not been cleared yet! The matter between Tyrion and Taliyah is not something you can participate in..."
"No, no, no! I think we can let him give it a try."
A voice suddenly sounded. Dai Lin, who came to Bolvar's side, stretched out her hand to stop the bone knife in the Duke of the Dead's hand, and stopped Cyrus from scolding. The Sea Demon stretched out his hand very gently and helped Flynn straighten his clothes.
, he looked at the young man and said playfully:
"Have you thought it through? If you intervene in their war, I can guarantee that you will die miserably."
"I'm not afraid!"
Flynn looked at Taelia who attacked again and again and was repelled again and again. He gritted his teeth and said:
"If Taelia can give everything for someone like me, then I will definitely not let her down! My feelings for her are not just words!"
"very good!"
Dai Lin smiled strangely. He threw the navy sword hanging on his waist to Flynn, then turned sideways and made a "please" gesture:
