Episode 19 , Intelligence of the Sphinx and the Land of Thor
The moment the two of them drew out their swords, the Sphinx sitting on the throne suddenly stood up, and his nearly two-meter-six-meter body flashed for a while.
Seeing this strange scene, Rayleigh and Angelo looked at each other, and both saw doubtful looks in each other's eyes.
At this moment, the two of them felt a strong gust of wind in front of them. Angelo, who was a little faster, raised his magic sword and struck forward. They only heard a sound of gold and iron, and a strong shock wave.
Rayleigh was blown away directly and hit the wall behind the mausoleum.
Then, in a whirlwind ahead, the figure of the Sphinx appeared with a sword, and Angelo was wrestling with it while holding the sword.
"Ahem! This is really fierce. Fortunately, I have this shield!"
At the same time, Rayleigh was knocked back by the shock wave. Half-sitting on the ground, Rayleigh spit out a mouthful of blood, then stood up staggeringly while talking.
Later, after seeing the situation clearly, Rayleigh was about to raise his sword and join the battle group when he heard Angelo's calm voice with a hint of hoarseness:
"Rayleigh, don't hesitate, take the Dragon's Fang first and leave it to me!"
After saying that, Angelo suddenly exerted force and pushed the Sphinx to the side in an instant. Then he flipped his wrist and stabbed in the direction of the Sphinx's retreat, clearing the way for Rayleigh.
At this time, Rayleigh didn't say anything. He first cast a healing spell to recover the injury he had just caused, then he looked at the target in front of him and suddenly exerted his strength and ran over.
"You dare to be distracted while fighting me, you should take care of yourself first!"
After seeing the Sphinx glance at Rayleigh, Angelo blurted out cold words, and then accelerated the attack speed in his hand.
Then, the Sphinx who was fighting Angelo suddenly felt that Angelo's sword speed in front of him was getting slower and slower, and he gradually began to be unable to keep up with his sword swing speed.
The feeling is like being familiar with the violent storm after the breeze, and then the stormy waves hit again.
At this time, the Sphinx was like a small boat that had just experienced a storm on the sea. Before it could take a breath, it encountered a series of strong winds and huge waves.
How is it possible! How could I lose at the hands of such a child?
While feeling resentful in his heart, the speed of the Sphinx's sword swings also became faster and faster. Gradually, the boundless sword light enveloped the two of them. The black-purple sword light and the azure blue sword light intersected and reflected each other, which was extremely beautiful.
It's also extremely dangerous.
"Gudong!"
Rayleigh, who had just walked to the throne, glanced back unconsciously. After seeing the meat grinder-like scene, he subconsciously swallowed, turned around, and jumped directly onto the throne. The two of them had been standing there.
The dragon's tooth that you have been looking for so hard is right in front of you...
Just when he had just taken off the dragon's tooth and hadn't looked at it carefully, he heard a sudden roar from ahead:
"Damn it! Put it down!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Sphinx instantly raised his sword to block Angelo's downward slashes from the sky, then suddenly exerted his strength to push him out, and then made several quick slashes in the air.
Suddenly, several rays of sword energy quickly struck at Angelo in the air.
Looking at Angelo, who was deep in mid-air with no way to rely on, the moment he was about to be swept away by the sword energy, Rayleigh suddenly yelled:
"No! Angelo, be careful!"
"Ignorant boy! You should take care of yourself!"
At the same time, the rich voice of the Sphinx echoed in the hall. Rayleigh was startled and subconsciously looked towards the Sphinx, and saw that his body suddenly began to flicker.
, just like what they saw when the two came in.
Although I didn't react the first time, I was blocked by Angelo who reacted quickly enough, but this time!
At this moment, just as Rayleigh pulled out the Cursed Sword, he suddenly saw a sword light getting bigger and bigger in front of his eyes.
The deep purple sword light, the purple to black sword light, was like the eternal fire of the underworld in hell.
In just a moment, Rayleigh smelled a smell, a smell that could only be asked when one is infinitely close to death.
At that moment, Rayleigh, who was as if he had been under a restraining spell. Even under the pressure of that momentum, Rayleigh, who couldn't even move his fingers, suddenly thought of what his grandfather once told him.
That sentence:
"Do you know what a brave man is! A brave man is a great being who transforms into a miracle at the last moment, at the most desperate moment, and creates it. What do you mean by miracle? In fact, I don't know, but once upon a time
Someone once said that the moment you believe in a miracle, you are the miracle itself..."
The scene that had been forgotten in his mind was now very clearly reflected in his mind. At this moment, Lei Li looked at the sword light that was getting closer and closer, and a thought suddenly appeared in his mind:
I will die with this sword, I will die with this sword...
Brother Rayleigh, why do you want to become a brave man?
For our homeland, to defeat the devil, to save those who need saving, whatever the savior can do, I can do the same...
It's okay, as long as we rescue Vatano, the rest will be his business...
Angelo, you have to know that we are braves, not saviors...
We are brave men, not saviors. We are brave men, not saviors...
It turns out... I have long forgotten what the true meaning of being brave is. Those people, those who protect suffering, they...
"So, how could I fall here, how could I fall in the hands of a guy like you who tramples on life at will? Wake up~"
In an instant, the hero's power in Lei Li's body surged continuously, and the next moment...
"Ding! Ding! Boom!"
The sound of two golden and iron clanging echoed through the entire palace. The terrifying shock wave instantly shook the throne behind Lei Li into powder. The surrounding walls could not stop the terrifying power. They cracked and came in one after another. For a moment, there was endless smoke and dust.
Shrouded in this palace, or mausoleum...
"Huh~ Uh! Uh~"
The powerful roar of the Sphinx resounded throughout the hall. As the smoke slowly dispersed, Angelo and Rayleigh appeared, holding swords side by side. The two of them actually held the Sphinx at the same time.
The raid...
Gradually, he realized that his power was fading at an alarming speed. The confused Sphinx subconsciously yelled:
"How is it possible? How could you two burst out with such powerful power..."
The extremely surprised tone, with a hint of undetectable fear, echoed through the hall.
She was surprised by the sudden arrival of Angelo. The Sphinx didn't understand why the guy in front of her could always block her at critical moments and key positions.
And that subtle sense of fear came from Rayleigh.
Because it was impossible for him to block his own attack. There was only one person who could block this fatal sword in the past, and that was the Demon King Daoguda.
And just now, there was another one, and that was this white-haired boy who looked like an abyss - Angelo.
And now, there is another one. If the Demon King is absolutely powerful, then the white-haired boy in front of him who he has seen before is unfathomable, at least not inferior to him.
But only this blue-haired boy named Rayleigh showed the fear of death on his face when facing this sword. He could not block the sword at all, but...
He just blocked it, why...
"Why? Why do you have that kind of power? Tell me! Tell me..."
Seeing the Sphinx roaring unwillingly after being pushed out by Rayleigh's sword, Angelo shook his head. Just when he was about to give him the final blow, he was stopped by Rayleigh in front of him.
The latter walked towards the Sphinx step by step with his sword in hand, saying as he walked:
"That kind of power? That kind of power is the power of miracles, and that kind of miracle belongs to those who believe in miracles. It is something that a guy like you who tramples on life at will will never be able to understand in his lifetime.
Now, I will use this power to defeat you, and in the near future, I will use this power, together with my partners, to defeat the devil you have always believed in, and defeat the beginning of everything - Sphin.
Chris, wake up!"
After the sonorous and powerful words fell, Rayleigh raised the cursed sword, then stepped suddenly and rushed towards the Sphinx.
Rayleigh, who carried the determination and belief to defeat the devil, raised his sword and stabbed the Sphinx who had just stood up.
As for the Sphinx, looking at Rayleigh who was thrusting towards him with his sword, he could only hold the big sword in his hand across his chest in a hurry...
"bite!"
As the sound of the sword tip colliding with the sword body was heard, the Sphinx mobilized all its magic energy, trying to block Rayleigh's sword with the intention of killing...
However, in the face of the incomparably vast trend, any obstacle is in vain.
Just after the two people were in a stalemate for two seconds, dense cracks suddenly appeared on the Sphinx's sword. Before he could react enough, the cursed sword carrying the extremely powerful power of the brave suddenly penetrated.
Sphinx's breast,
The powerful momentum pushed the Sphinx's body straight into the wall behind, and the smoke and dust stirred up engulfed the two bodies...
"Uh! My power! My everything, did I fail? No! I won!"
After a long time, a low and unfamiliar voice appeared, and after the smoke and dust dissipated, what appeared in front of the two of them was a middle-aged man with a somewhat vicissitudes of appearance and a bit of a western cowboy temperament.
At least in Angelo's eyes, the bohemian, unrestrained and casual temperament that the middle-aged man inadvertently revealed reminded Angelo of Dante, his usually undistinguished uncle.
Seeing this, Angelo quickly put down his phone, and then appeared next to Reilly. Looking at the strange middle-aged man in front of him, Angelo first clicked his tongue in surprise, and then expressed confusion and confusion.
The words blurted out:
"Is this what he really looks like? What's going on?"
After saying that, he took a closer look and suddenly felt a familiar breath disappear from the Sphinx's body.
That familiar feeling? I seem to have seen it somewhere...
Hmm~Gulama? The aura flowing around his body is exactly the same as that guy who was turned into a birdman by the demon king...
"Actually, I don't know what happened, but I think it was me who expelled the power belonging to the Demon King Dauguda from him, and this is his original appearance, just like the Gurama we met before
Same!"
After pondering for a while, Rayleigh and Angelo unlocked it, put away the Cursed Sword, then walked to the Sphinx who was half leaning against the wall, squatted down, and asked in a low tone:
"I think you should have woken up by now, Mr. Sphinx!"
"Uh! I...I really didn't expect that one day I would be able to see the light again. Thank you for rescuing me from the darkness. It feels really good!"
As the Sphinx spoke, she wanted to stand up...
Suddenly, a huge roar resounded inside the pyramid, followed by bursts of irregular pulsations from the ground.
Reilly: "What's going on?"
Angelo: "Maybe I accidentally ran into a trap, but I don't think I can stay here for long!"
The two of them were talking and looking around, and then Rayleigh just wanted to help the Sphinx up, who had returned to human form, but was rejected by the latter. Then the Sphinx blurted out relieved words:
"Without the blessing of the devil's power, this pyramid will collapse, but fortunately, the time left is enough!"
Having said this, the Sphinx covered her forehead in pain and refused Rayleigh's second offer of help.
After standing up straight, he looked at the mausoleum in the pyramid, symbolizing the final destination. The Sphinx showed a very cheerful smile, then looked at Rayleigh and Angelo, and said slowly:
"I was originally a ranger in the Yuezhi Desert, and I kept wandering in the desert until the devil came. Just like you, I went to fight the devil, but was defeated and was even enslaved by him. Many innocent people died.
In my hand..."
At this point, that cheerful smile turned bitter again, which can be seen at a glance.
Just when he was still going on, Rayleigh blurted out some anxious words:
"No, that's not your fault, but this place is going to collapse. Let's go out and talk about it!"
After saying that, Rayleigh was about to go to Rasphynx's sleeves, and was even ready to activate his escape magic.
However, he was repeatedly rejected by the Sphinx. In Reilly's puzzled eyes, the Sphinx explained a few words in a short sentence:
"It's not necessary. If this is my end, it's pretty good, and just think of it as an end to my sins!"
After saying that, before Reilly could refute, the Sphinx's face suddenly became serious, and then slowly said a shocking news:
"Listen, instead of saving me, as brave men, you should defeat the Demon King. Time is running out now. I think you should be looking for the fire dragon..."
Before they finished speaking, a loud noise came from the distance. The three of them looked toward the sound and saw that the dome above the throne had collapsed, and golden sand poured into the palace like a waterfall.
Seeing this scene, Angelo immediately grabbed Reilly and was about to activate his magic to leave, but was ruthlessly interrupted by the latter.
"Wait a minute, Mr. Sphinx, are you really not going with us?"
The Sphinx shook her head, then pushed her hair back, shook off the sand from her hair, and then said:
"There are four secret treasures of the fire dragon. The other three are located deep in the coast, in the swamps, and in the prairie. Remember what I am going to say next. When dealing with the fire dragon, never use it..."
"Boom!"
Before the Sphinx finished speaking, the dome not far away from the three people also shattered, and countless grains of sand poured down instantly.
Almost before the two of them could breathe, the sand had already submerged the ankles of the three of them...
"What did you say in the last sentence?"
Riley swung Angelo's arm and asked anxiously
When the Sphinx saw this, he shook his head and said his last words loudly:
"I mean, if possible, take my share and defeat the Demon King!"
After saying that, the Sphinx passed over the two of them, then bent down, grabbed a handful of sand at his feet, and looked at it carefully...
"It's really too late this time, we have to leave!"
Angelo said
"Well! Let's go!"
Rayleigh replied, and just as he was about to activate his escape magic, he found that the sand was already up to their waists.
In desperation, Angelo grabbed Rayleigh's shoulders, jumped into the air with all his strength, and then at the moment when the dome above their heads shattered and fell, the two of them instantly activated their escape magic, accompanied by a pouring
As the sand fell, the two disappeared into the pyramid...
"Phew! Bah! I almost got killed by you this time. No, I won't die, but it will definitely be very embarrassing!"
After shaking the sand off his head and spitting out the sand that accidentally fell into his mouth, Angelo complained fiercely.
After hearing this, Rayleigh looked at the sinking pyramid in front of him and nodded in agreement. Then he suddenly remembered something and asked quickly:
"Did you hear that I didn't seem to hear the last words he told us clearly, but it felt very important?"
"Hmm~?, It seems not, and I didn't have time to ask many questions, but it doesn't matter. Rather than this, we'd better discuss where to go!"
Looking at the pyramid in front of him that had sunk in the desert, Angelo pondered for a while, replied a few words, then shrugged and got the topic back on track.
Where to go? Well... I have got two of them now. One of the remaining two is in the grassland and the other is in the swamp. If I go to the swamp, some situations are not clear, and...
After thinking for a while, Rayleigh patted the remaining grains of sand on his body and then suggested:
"Let's go to the grassland! After all, we are relatively familiar there. If we go to the swamp, we are not familiar with the situation there. Rather than being a headless fly, it is better to get one first, what do you think?"
While listening to Reilly's suggestion, Angelo took out his mobile phone to take pictures of the surrounding scenery. He nodded subconsciously, then pondered for a while, thought about it, and then said:
"Do you still remember that uncle in the nomadic village on the prairie? His son and daughter-in-law seemed to be looking for the power of the God of Thunder?"
"The power of the God of Thunder? Remember, hiss~! Are you saying that the remaining two secret treasures are related to the power of the God of Thunder?"
Angelo nodded, then stretched out his right hand and said with a teasing expression:
"Not only that, you can also go back to the Rainbow Kingdom and spend the night with your beautiful princess. Well, don't ask me what spending the night is, I heard it from my uncle!"
"Okay! Let's go then!"
Reilly rolled his eyes at Angelo angrily, and Rayleigh also extended his right hand, and then the two of them shook it left and right three times, and with a "pop" sound, the two palms hit together...
However..., nothing happened.
"What are you thinking about? You're not really thinking about the Rainbow Nation, are you?"
Realizing that the teleportation magic had failed, Angelo suddenly came back to his senses and said something to Rayleigh with a hint of complaint.
Listening to Angelo's words, Rayleigh took a deep breath and then retorted:
"Didn't you say you want to go to the Rainbow Country? Are you guys... Hiss~ Forget it, we have agreed this time to go to the nomadic village on the prairie. Come on!"
After saying that, looking at Angelo nodding, the two right hands immediately hit each other. With the teleportation magic successfully activated, the two figures disappeared in the desert in an instant.
With a sudden flower in front of my eyes, I saw a lush green grassland again, and occasionally I could hear the sound of horse hooves coming from the distance.
It seemed that this time (zhei four times) was correct, but this time the two of them were not chatting about anything. They walked straight to the hotel and planned to have a night's rest.
After all, the high-intensity fighting has been going on, and even if there is no problem with Angelo's terrifying physique, he is still mentally tired.
Afterwards, the two of them paid again, took off their clothes and equipment, and then lay down.
After lying down, Angelo unconsciously remembered the words of the Sphinx before:
"Never use magic to deal with the Fire Dragon King. It is ineffective against him. If you want to defeat him, you must use the strongest swordsmanship and strength."
Only the strongest swordsmanship and strength can defeat the Fire Dragon King? Well, let’s see who is immune to magic then!
With this extremely interesting thought, Angelo fell into sleep...
