Blood tax

Chapter 254 The gift of fate has a price

Galadia wanted to escape, but she never thought about how her garden was so big, with no end in sight.She kept passing flower fields, woods, streams, and meadows until she realized she was wandering in the same place.

She forced herself to calm down, and found that the sky above the Consul's mansion was covered with a dome-like light blue barrier, quietly undulating like the surface of a lake.

"There is a barrier from the outside world here, but I was able to contact Griffith, which shows that the power of the barrier is not strong, and it should have created illusions and occlusion effects."

Galadia stood where she gathered her psychic energy.Her left eye turned a magnificent red, and she gazed at the dome in mid-air, and where the focus of her sight went, there were immediately illusions like shattered crystals.

This layer of light blue barrier had just dissipated, and several figures appeared in front of her, two of which were particularly familiar - the Consul and Sidious stood there, they were very close, as if they were talking about something.In addition to them, there are a few hidden not far away.

"Father, brother, help!"

Sure enough, father and brother are reliable, Griffith, you idiot.Galadia stumbled over and rushed over: "At home, something strange happened at home."

"Is that so?"

Sidious cast a cold gaze at her, then turned to the consul, and pushed forward with his right hand.

Archon of Canaan, leader of the elves, above all, one of the most powerful demigods in the world, Ferreiras Villanoy fell like a toppled statue.His appearance has been decayed and withered, his vitality no longer exists, and a sharp sword is pierced into his chest, and lightning flashes linger around him.

Galadia recognized that it was Sidious's saber, the mysterious and powerful holy sword "Hanguang".

"This, this, no."

Galadia's brain was blank, and her sanity was about to collapse. She pulled her hair and asked in a desperate voice: "Brother, what did you do? No, it's fake, it's some kind of illusion. "

One by one, she activated the accessories on her body, mobilized the power of the magic eye, trying to get rid of the false illusion.But, no matter how hard she tried, Sidious was there, and the Archon fell at his feet like a dead wood.

"My silly sister, don't run away, all of this is reality," the elder brother said to his sister in a cold tone, throwing away the smile and care in the past, "Don't you know that you are destined by the gods? What happened? Now you still want to run away, immersed in false dreams?

"The ruling of Canaan, Ferreiras Villanoy, has been terminated by me. His brothers, sisters, and the arrogant and stupid Vilannoy relatives have been destroyed, leaving only you and me."

Galadia stood there as if petrified, her eyes almost lost all light and hope.

"What should I do? Do you want to take her away?" There were several people around Sidious, each of whom had very strong aura and spiritual power.One of the elves asked respectfully: "It's a rare opportunity for a god-favored person to appear here alone."

"You can't do it, Lars," the eldest son of the former consul shook his head. "My mission has been accomplished, and I don't want to do unnecessary things. If you are unwilling, you can go up and try it out to see what the blessing of the stars means." .”

"She's just an inexperienced Sequence 7. We are all extraordinary, so why can't we do anything about it?" Lars waved his hand and gave orders to the people around him, "Vic, Paro, come with me and take her down."

The two elf transcendents who followed him took out their wands and daggers, protected them with powerful shields, or concealed themselves, and followed carefully.Before they approached, an abnormal spiritual energy captured their souls.

The nightingale's lament for the dead seemed to resound in the air, and the clouds covered the last ray of moonlight.At the same time, all heard a terrible and void cry, heralding a bleak and tragic death.

The dark clouds dissipated, and the silver moon turned into a blood-colored sickle hanging in the sky.

Galadia's demon eyes, kneeling on the ground, were full of energy, and pure and terrifying blood-red storms and magic balls were spinning and roaring around her.She didn't use a wand, and the accessories she had prepared had already been activated, resonating with the power of the magic eye, fully amplifying her spiritual power and perception, and forming a powerful shield around her.

She was wrapped in the blood-red arc, like a huge red ball, whipped wantonly by the scarlet arc whip.The breath of tearing space has swept over like overwhelming.

A ghostly red flame ripped through the walls of the world and swept across the sky, rage and madness all around her.

"This is the fire of the void, the annihilating power that ignores all defenses!" A mysterious man hiding in the back row screamed and fled without looking back.

Sidious's figure immediately became nothingness.The fire of the virtual realm rushed towards the place where he was standing, passing through his body and biting a mysterious person further back.The ghostly flames bit frantically, biting through the shield in a blink of an eye and beginning to eat away at his flesh.

Amidst the terrifying screams, Lars, who was about to shoot, suddenly fell into a strange state just as he gave the order.His body became jerky, and even his brain was as stiff as frozen muddy water.

He moved his lips, but no words came out.Surprised eyes swept over his shoulders, and found that a group of virtual fires had already ignited him.He wanted to seek the support of his teammates, but saw that his companion named Vic was being bitten by the illusory flames, twisted and pulled like a clown on the stage, forming a paste-like liquid.

The focus of Galadia's magic eye is moving. Paro, the transcendent who fled desperately, has already hidden his body, but he is still captured by the magic eye and the fire of the virtual world, unable to break free like being caught in a whirlpool, making a miserable and desperate cry. Call.

Lars activated a blade of light with lightning speed, chopped off his right shoulder and arm, and struggled to break free from the terrifying flames at the cost of being severely injured.

Several auras hidden in the darkness behind were alarmed.They all turned and fled, only Sidious reappeared from the illusion.

"What a distorted and useless power, silly sister." Sidious sighed, and the turbulent psionic energy surged like a tide.He just raised his hand and pushed, and Galadia, who was attacking wildly, flew upside down.

The blow saved Russ from the brink of death.The fleeing elves hid far away, watching the battle here in panic.

"Leave here, the favor of the starry sky is not something you can match," Sidious threw down his burqa, "The barrier has been broken, and all parties will soon notice the movement here."

His left eye suddenly showed a sun-like golden light.Galadia's magic eyes seemed to have encountered an old enemy, and immediately launched a vortex-like illusory fire to attack him. It was about to penetrate his body, but it passed through the phantom again without any harm.

Galadia immediately tried to attack again, but her left eye had already begun to bleed, and the severe pain prevented her from opening it.

Sidious stood there, raised his hand lightly, and held it ten meters away. Galadia was suddenly out of breath as if being strangled by the throat.She struggled to resist, but she couldn't grasp the strength that strangled her throat.Sidious's hand changed from a grip to a push.Galadia's lower abdomen was suddenly hit by an invisible blow, and she let out a whine and fell into the flower field.

"Successful!" Lars, who had lost his arm, cheered. He seemed to have planned for this day for a long time. Even though he was severely injured, he still resolutely rushed towards the place where Galadia fell.

Suddenly, a mountain peak appeared in front of him, blocking him with unshakable majesty, the majestic momentum even made people afraid to look up.

Griffith is here!He punched Lars who was rushing towards him, and the powerful momentum hit the shield with ripples and loud noises.

"Don't get in the way, bug!" Lars was taken a step back, and immediately threw his anger at Griffith, holding a wand in his left hand and condensed a spear of light and threw it out.

However, the quasi-knight blocked the blow with his body indifferently, and the light spear pierced his chest, but there was no pain or blockage reaction.

Lars was startled, and the second and third luminous spears were shot out one after another, turning the quasi-knight who was facing him into a hedgehog.

"This is a puppet." Sidious shouted, but stood still.

A group of bats flew straight down from the sky and gathered behind Lars to form Griffith's real body.The ice gun condensed in his hand, and the giant shadow of the mountain monster roared earth-shatteringly.

"Bug, this is how you use a throwing gun!"

Griffith threw all his strength at a very close range, and the ice spear shattered Lars' shield, and the splashing ice shattered him beyond recognition.The elf spellcaster subconsciously raised his hand to block it, and the second layer of shield had already unfolded from top to bottom with a rippling golden halo.

As long as the caster reaches a certain level, the defensive shield will continue until his spiritual power and equipment are exhausted.As an extraordinary person, Lars dared to step forward even after losing his right arm and was severely injured, which was his dense shield defense.

Griffith threw the spear, closed his hand, drew the silver musket from his waist, moved the hammer, took aim, and pulled the trigger.A series of actions flowed like clouds and water, and the nearby enemies didn't even have time to warn and support, golden flashes and cathartic killing intent had spewed out of the gun barrel.

"Bah!"

Russ seemed to see the death knell that fate sounded for him.Before he had time to scream in terror, the hammer of conviction had already been hammered heavily.Under the irresistible pressure, the new shield was smashed by the impact of psionic energy and adamantine projectiles just as it was formed.Adamantite bullets burst through the shield, tearing Rath's throat.Flesh, mucus, blood, and windpipes exploded, spreading radially across the floor.Half of his neck was missing, and blood was pouring down on his shoulders, which was horrible.

The elf transcendent fell to his knees with incredible horror in his eyes.He wanted to struggle or fight back, but all the psionic energy in his body left him as if evaporated.

Griffith rushed forward, raised his right hand, held the musket upside down and swung the butt towards Lars, then turned his left hand and grabbed a formed ice spear and stabbed it into the eye socket of the fallen elf.Brain sprayed out with a bang from behind the pierced skull.

He blocked Galadia behind him, let go of the blood-stained ice spear, picked up the extraordinary characteristic of Sequence 6 with a flick of his hand, and lightly tossed it in his hand.

The quasi-knight's sharp eyes were like an eagle watching a wolf. He looked around at the enemies around him, and methodically took out the ammunition packs and bullets and put them into the barrel, majestic and elegant.

"Next.

"Sidious, is that you?"

　There is one more.When Griffith first arrived in Byerland, I described a certain girl in particular.The main storyline of Galadia that is unfolding now is already the most gentle storyline.The background and deciphering of some events will be unfolded later, or in other girls' IF lines.In other clues, some seemingly small choices of Griffith will lead to completely different fates for others.Readers probably won’t read all the IF lines, it will take a few years, so it’s okay~ Midian Maier and Ophelia have perfect endings in all lines (bless them! Tianzhu Tanaka’s old thief!)
