Looking at this dark behemoth, it knocked down the camp door with just one claw. With a look of despair on his face, Fergal murmured: "None of this is true...it's all a dream..."
A group of heavy infantrymen holding shields set up a shield wall and slowly pushed towards the monster. Before they could enter the attack range, the biting frost invaded. They didn't even have time to scream, leaving only a pile of them.
An ice sculpture that breaks when touched.
A soldier hiding behind the tent used his hands and feet to stir the mechanism of the heavy crossbow. After taking aim, he pressed the trigger. An iron crossbow bolt with a thickness of two fingers, with a dull whistling, first shattered the thick armor of the monster.
The "Ice Armor" was then inserted feebly between the gaps in the iron scales.
The enraged dark monster roared loudly towards the sky, broke the crossbow arrow on its scales into two pieces, ran with all its limbs, and turned into an unreal afterimage, reaching 100 meters in an instant.
In front of the attacker from outside.
One iron claw grabbed the soldier's head, and the other grabbed the opponent's leg. After a sharp bone cracking sound, blood and broken flesh fell to the ground like raindrops.
When the surrounding soldiers saw this bloody scene, they were all so frightened that their livers and gallbladders split apart and they urinated.
One hundred meters away from the Ulster camp, Casper and the gladiators stared at everything in front of them with their mouths open.
A dark iron-clad monster rushed into the Ulster camp, faced three hundred regular troops, and launched a crushing massacre. The sky was dark and the ground was dark, and blood flowed into rivers. The enemy could not do anything except flee in all directions and kneel down to pray.
No resistance whatsoever.
Such a fantasy-like thing actually happened in broad daylight.
"You mean...that...is our leader?" Casper looked at the dark figure and widened his eyes.
A barbarian warrior behind him said breathlessly: "We all saw with our own eyes that the leader became like that, defeating twenty war beasts by himself!"
Hearing the discussions of the gladiators, Casper turned to the barbarian warriors: "You just said that in the mythology of the North, this kind of human being who can transform into the strongest war beast is called...?"
"
The barbarian warrior raised his head and shouted excitedly: "Demigod!"
The final result of the Ulster rebel siege shocked everyone who paid attention to it in advance.
The kingdom's army of a thousand people when it set off had only fifty-three when it returned. The general was captured, the supplies were confiscated, and even these survivors were mentally disturbed.
On the other hand, the Froststone Rebels, except for the more than forty barbarian warriors who died during the camp defense battle, the rest of the troops are fully organized, and it can even be said that the attrition rate is zero.
The direct result of this battle was that Ulster's reserve force was severely reduced, the king's prestige was greatly reduced, domestic opposition gradually rose, and the entire country was on the verge of civil war.
The Froststone Tribe has become famous throughout the North. Apart from the twenty-eight "Death Knights", the one that people talk about the most is the "demigod" who defeated an army by himself.
The client, Todd, was lying on a lounge chair in the small building, grinning and twisting his sore shoulders.
Rachel took a bottle of ointment, smeared it on his body, and said angrily: "Look at yourself! You have used the evolved form for far longer than you can bear! Do you know? If the battle continues for a while,
Your life may be in danger!"
Todd waved his hand nonchalantly: "Don't worry, I'm measured."
"You mean, there was an impulse deep in your soul at that time, prompting you to suddenly transform into an evolved form?" Rachel said after thinking: "I guess this should be related to Boyle's soul in your body. Am I right?
?Deirdre?"
Deirdre, who had woken up from a coma a few days ago, was sitting on the stairs, looking at the unfamiliar face on the couch, but she thought of the scene in her heart when the other person risked his own life to save her in the "Red Circle".
"Why did you save me?"
Deirdre's question stunned Todd and Rachel.
The former added: "You are not Boyle, there is no need to care about my life and death..."
Todd and Rachel looked at each other. The former scratched his head and said with a wry smile: "You once wanted to save me, so take my behavior as a gift in return."
Rachel looked at the silent Deirdre and repeated her original question: "Is this emergency related to Boyle's soul?"
Deirdre hugged her knees with her arms and whispered: "I guess so, but I can't feel Boyle's presence now..."
Todd struggled to get up from the bed: "What do you mean by not feeling Boyle's presence?"
Deirdre glanced at him: "Literally, I can no longer feel his presence..."
Rachel winked at Todd, and the two entered the soul space together.
Todd searched the space for a long time, but found no trace of Boyle's soul.
Rachel suggested to him: "Maybe Deirdre should be brought in, she should be able to discover something."
After Deirdre entered the soul space, she relied on her own powers to find a palm-sized crystal in the corner of the Soul Temple.
"If I'm not wrong, when the tribe was in crisis, Boyle used all his soul power to help Todd continue his evolutionary state for a long time. But in the end, his power ran out and his soul disappeared from this world forever.
Deirdre held the crystal in her hands and said with a trembling voice: "What I hold in my hands is the remaining embers of his soul."
Todd took the crystal from Deirdre's hand and slowly brushed it across the surface. The last memories in the embers were projected into blurry images, showing the last obsession in the life of Boyle, a barbarian man.
The old warrior Fried taught the young Boyle how to use a hunting bow; the shaman Minnie held a sixteen-year-old coming-of-age ceremony for him; the warriors of the tribe galloped side by side with him on the battlefield...
The image lasted for more than three minutes, and eventually turned dark.
Deirdre snatched the crystal from Todd's hand, threw it to the ground, and shouted sadly: "I'm so stupid, I'm so stupid! Boyle once said to me more than once, in his
In his mind, protecting his tribe and establishing his country are his most important things. I just don’t believe it, and I’ve never believed it!”
Tears flowed uncontrollably from Deirdre's eyes again, and she said to Todd: "In the arena, when you protected me at all costs, I naively thought that the past Boyle
They are all trying to hide his inner feelings, but in fact he loves me... It turns out that everything is just wishful thinking on my part!"
Facing the woman's tears, Todd, who had a headache, had no other choice but to comfort her with kind words.
Rachel picked up the broken crystal on the ground and found that the case of Boyle's Soul Ember had been cracked, revealing the core inside.
Putting his hand on it, a memory hidden deep in Boyle's heart appeared in front of Rachel.
On the top of a high mountain, a young man and woman looked at the beautiful scenery in front of them and were filled with admiration.
The man said to the woman: "When we get married, I will take this land in front of me as a gift to you."
"I don't need any land... I just want us to be together."
The young man shook his head: "As a man, I want to marry the most beautiful bride in the world. If I don't have a decent gift, I will be laughed at by people! Remember, this is my promise to you!"
The woman looked at the other person and nodded slightly.
Their fingers were clasped together and they looked at each other speechlessly.
The memory slowly dimmed.
Rachel put down the crystal in her hand and was silent for a long time.
She looked back at Deirdre who was crying not far behind her, and then at Todd who was busy comforting her, slowly closed her eyes, and said something softly.
"Feel sorry……"
With both palms clasped together, the soul embers in Rachel's hands were crushed into tiny stars and scattered to the ground.
