Unexpectedly... it was Yasen, the weakest fighter among the three, who stood up without hesitation.
He strode forward and looked closely at the Count of Orleans.
The golden glow gradually ignited in the pupils - that was the resonance from the principle of balance.
Aiwass looked at Yassen with interest.
He didn't know what Yasen thought about and what kind of determination he made before he dared to fight head-on with a fifth-level Moon Child in the opponent's home court. You must know that Yasen is not good at fighting... He is just good at it.
Just run away.
The Count of Orleans also obviously knew the details of Yassen.
"Unexpectedly..."
Therefore, he did not feel the pressure at all, he just stood there and sneered: "You dare to challenge me, Yassen?"
The count still held his cane in one hand and stood motionless.
Judging from this title, he obviously knew Yassen.
This is not surprising, after all, Yassen was once a monster thief famous for stealing from rich people... and in Iris, at least half of the rich people are children of the moon, and the remaining half are probably related to the children of the moon.
close.
Whether it is witches, witches, or the magic potions they prepare, wealthy merchants are willing to spend a lot of money to buy them; and the large number of blood slaves that the Son of the Moon needs must rely on the channels of these merchants to find them.
You can't find any good prey just by hunting at night - for the children of the moon, the best food is extraordinary people who have devoted themselves to the path, or mortals who have the adaptability to devote themselves to the path. And it's best to be good-looking.
, young.
——And Yasen happens to have the level of dedication to the path.
"Have you forgotten..."
Before the earl finished speaking, his whole person disappeared without a trace in an instant.
The next moment, he teleported to Yasen.
He raised his cane and slapped Yasen hard on the face!
--when!
It was a crisp sound like wooden sticks hitting each other.
Yassen didn't have time to draw his sword, so he could only reluctantly hold the hilt of the dagger behind his back and raise his left arm to defend himself with the scabbard.
The scabbard was hit by the cane until it almost fell off, revealing a shining cold light.
The count held the cane with one hand and pressed it down with an expressionless expression: "Have you ever had my blood sucked?"
In an instant, Yasen suddenly let go of his left hand.
The next blow struck instantly, knocking the dagger straight away.
And the palm of Yassen's open left hand suddenly burst into a ball of bright light like daylight, causing the earl to narrow his eyes immediately. And his cloak rolled up into nothingness.
At this moment, the dagger Sarastro was finally unsheathed——
The roaring hallucinations hit me like a tsunami.
Everyone was in a daze for a moment, and the surroundings were no longer the corridors filled with corpses and stone statues, but turned into a dark blue palace. Looking around, they could only see the cave-like palace under the night sky.
Everything around them has not disappeared - whether it is the walls or the corpses, or other people. No one can see each other, and the sounds of their fighting or the bloody smell around them have also disappeared.
If you don't remember the layout of the surrounding buildings, you may suddenly hit the air.
However, Yasen is extremely skilled in walking through the illusion of nothingness.
Not because he has control over this illusion, but because he is indeed familiar with the architectural layout here.
Relying on his own instinct, the Earl suddenly pulled his cane out of thin air in a certain direction!
Woo——
When he waved his cane, it made a sharp sound.
The surrounding dark blue air became blurry for a moment - the illusion was almost torn to pieces by his attack.
However, this attack failed.
At this time, low roars suddenly came from all directions, accompanied by powerful music:
"The hellish flames of revenge burn in my heart!
"The fire of death and despair consumes me—"
That was a high note that Yassen couldn't sing at all.
His deep voice sounded like a roar as he sang with all his strength.
And the pitch-black flame roared out of thin air, and the cold flame burned all over the land.
Although they did not see the battle between Yassen and the Earl, the singing that sounded out of thin air made Aiwass and Sherlock change their expressions.
——It’s so unpleasant to hear!
It was neither a tenor nor a soprano, but a broken voice like a eunuch.
It was like some kind of background music that filled the entire night sky illusion, rendering the surroundings like hell for a moment.
"If you can't, let Sarastro die,
"Then you will never be my daughter again!"
This is the most offensive spell in the opera "Lulu's Magic Flute" - the Queen of the Night's aria.
If the "Piper" wants to advance to the sixth level of "Queen of the Night", he must understand and master this spell.
In this song, the Queen of the Night orders her daughter to complete the mission of revenge for herself. She is a sacred and noble "Queen of the Night", with an irritable and manic personality. She has a strong desire to control, but at the same time she has
Strong maternal love. When her daughter is in danger, she wants to save her; she will also comfort her child with warmth...
But when she realized that her daughter no longer loved her and was about to betray her, she instead used radical methods to push her further away.
The Queen of Night had long understood that her daughter was about to betray her fate, but she did not choose to reverse it. She chose to face her fate in the midst of rage, irritability, and pain - that is exactly the principle of betrayal and revenge, and it belongs to the divine power of Ying Tiansi's domain!
——The so-called "Queen of the Night" here alludes to Ying Tiansi. The secret of Ying Tiansi is described in metaphors.
What is aroused from it is not only the fire of love, but also the fire of revenge.
Along with the determination of hatred and revenge, the power of the fire will also increase.
bite!
Suddenly, a dagger burning with black flames and a body as black as night pierced out from the void!
At the same time, Yasen emerged from the void and pierced the illusion!
However, Yasen did not have the ability to adapt to the road after all.
He did not have the rank of an assassin. Even if the Count of Orleans could not detect his position, his sneak attack still failed.
The Count of Orleans reacted instantly - he clenched his cane into a fist with his right hand and punched Yassen in the face. Relying on the reaction force, he instantly took two steps back and raised his cane to press Yassen's chest; at the same time,
Behead with a wave of a stick!
bite!
Yassen raised the short sword Sarastro, which turned into a black flame dagger, and blocked the cane.
He raised his head, black flames burning in his pupils.
At this time, the dark flames were already spreading upward along the cane.
The corners of Yasen's mouth rose slightly for a moment, and at the same time he kept repeating: "You will never be my daughter again.
"Then you will never be my daughter again—"
Every time he sang a sentence, the flames on the dagger in his hand became stronger, and the flames on the ground became higher.
The flame finally burned the Count of Orleans.
His trousers, his right hand holding the cane, and his wrist were burned by the flames raised by the dagger.
But he didn't feel the burning heat, but an unusual coldness——
...Is this...the Fire of the Night Queen of the Vendome family?
The Count of Orleans frowned, and an irrepressible weariness and exhaustion came over his heart.
Flame combustion requires fuel. In the process, a large amount of heat will be released.
The Fire of the Night Queen is different - it directly extracts the "heat of people's hearts" and turns it into the fire of revenge.
Check out the correct version one by one!
What is burned by this fire will not turn into ashes, but will freeze into ice.
Where the flames burned, a thin layer of black frost had condensed on his trouser legs and hands. It looked as dark as obsidian.
His strength is constantly being sucked away by the flames... If he continues to fight, he may become weaker and weaker.
It's just a pity...
The Count of Orleans clearly realized that this flame came from the power of the path of love.
It is the power imitated by the "opera" of the path of beauty!
Yassen, who is on the path of devotion, the path of beauty, and the path of balance, is simply unable to deeply understand the ability of the path of love.
But with the help of the Chest of Nothingness, the Count of Orleans almost understood and controlled this flame!
This is completely impossible under the original circumstances.
——This impossible thing is only possible with the help of the Box of Nothingness!
Maybe it's because he never wavered at all and looked calm as usual, but Yassen seemed to have tried his best and lost all momentum... Or maybe it was because Yassen's singing was so unpleasant that it offended and even awakened the Swan King.
.
But in short, the black flame was gradually controlled by the Count of Orleans. The cold limbs also gradually regained control.
He waved his cane with increasing ease, resisting Yassen's increasingly weak attacks.
He looked calm, elegant and calm. But Yasen's movements became slower and slower, and his strength continued to drain away.
Ding! Ding! Dang!
Finally, the Count of Orleans turned from defense to offense.
After blocking Yasen's two consecutive attacks, he suddenly stepped forward.
He disappeared in an instant, but reappeared in the same place in an instant.
When Yasen turned around to defend, he suddenly kicked Yasen in the chest.
The moment he lost his balance, he held the cane with both hands and placed it on his shoulders as if he were holding a rapier.
In an instant, he thrust forward!
The cane burning with black flames suddenly stabbed at the eye, and Yassen, who was in an unbalanced state, barely blocked it; he retracted the cane and stabbed at the throat again. Yassen had no choice but to hand over a substitute, allowing Count Orleans' cane to suddenly pierce the floating cane.
clothes in the air, and he himself disappeared.
At this moment, Count Orleans gracefully waved his cane and slashed through the air.
——Yasen, who had just appeared after the double, suddenly had his right arm holding the dagger cut off by a bright red invisible blade!
It was not aimed at his landing point.
Instead, Yasen launched the attack before he appeared - to be precise, Yasen hit him himself!
When the dagger was "released", the surrounding hallucinations also distorted and dissipated. Yassen, who was leaning against the wall, covered his shoulders and stared closely at the Count of Orleans.
And his right arm fell to the side - it was still holding the dagger, and the black fire on the dagger was quickly dissipating. There was still some black fire burning on the floor, ceiling, and walls, and those ancient paintings were all there.
The fire of revenge burned quietly, condensing into patches of black ice.
"I know your methods too well, Yassen."
After the count launched an attack, he did not immediately pursue it.
Instead, he calmly stood there and attacked the other party with words, trying to further expand his "aura".
"Your little tricks can only deceive those lower-class humans who have no knowledge or brains. They are not worth mentioning to the noble Son of the Moon.
"How long do you think I have lived? Ten years? Decades? Or hundreds of years?"
The Earl of Orleans pretended to sigh and smiled: "I have seen everything you have seen in your short life. I can also think of everything you can think of. Everything you have learned in your life has been
It's nothing special...it's just something I left behind a long time ago.
"It's ridiculous to steal the rich's wealth and give it to the poor. Aren't the poor still poor if they take the little gift? The rich will still be rich even if he loses his family heirloom.
"It's so ridiculous to want to rely on your own efforts to complete the redistribution of wealth. You don't trust the government, you don't trust the parliament, and you don't submit to the king. Do you think you are better than everyone else?
"You want to defeat everyone with your own strength? Haha, I wouldn't have had a dream like yours when I was a teenager, Yassen.
"It's time to wake up from the dream."
He raised his cane and pointed it at Yassen, who was leaning against the wall.
He only needs a thought to penetrate Yasen's heart directly.
"What a shame, Yassen."
The false smile on Count Orleans' face gradually faded into nothingness.
The arrogant eyes were extremely cold: "Why run away? Isn't it good to live here?
"Even if you don't have the noble qualifications to become a child of the moon, you can still become a steward.
"Of course, of course... you are a big shot now. You were spotted by that old guy, became his son-in-law, and was ridden by his old daughter. Haha, that's great.
"Then let me tell you a story, Yassen. Do you know what happened after you escaped?
"You gave those blood slaves the illusion of freedom - if you can escape, so can they. If you can hold back, so can they.
"Can they? They can't."
The Count of Orleans said word for word: "You caused me to lose sixty-eight blood slaves and countless wealth. All of this is because you gave them the illusion that they can escape from here."
"But what happened in the end? Those who wanted to escape couldn't escape, and those who had already escaped couldn't help it. In the end, they came back obediently. By the way, they sacrificed their colleagues and betrayed their friends.
"But even for those who came back, I didn't forgive them - they were all hanged, skinned, and tortured.
"You have made me a disgrace, a disgrace among the Children of the Moon, Yassen...everyone is laughing at me. And you still dare to come back and attack your master with swords. How do you think I should punish you?"
"——Let's not mention that."
Aiwass's voice appeared quietly behind him: "However, it is indeed time to wake up from the dream."
