Is this the poker world?Ada thief!

After confirming that Moth Feather had killed his opponent, a guard beside him glanced at Emperor Akena, and Emperor Akena understood what he meant.

"Have you won nine games already? Then the sideshow is over, and it's time to serve the main dishes worth tasting." Emperor Akna nodded and ordered his subordinates, "Send that woman in !"

"That woman?" Seth glanced at the place where the soldiers behind the order went, and it was the cage where Qisara was imprisoned that he had seen before.Aknadi wants to bring Qisara to that deep pit to fight?How can this be!

Seth was a little anxious on the spot, and quickly said to Emperor Akena: "Master Akena, you don't mean to let that woman participate in a death fight! That woman is not a criminal, she shouldn't—"

"Whether that woman committed a crime, you should know better than me, Seth." Aknadi interrupted Seth, "No guard can identify that this woman entered the city through the entrance she was in charge of. You should have known this from your subordinates, and an unidentified person who sneaked into the royal city without permission is undoubtedly a sinner."

Seth was at a loss for words for a moment, unable to refute what Akhnadi said.Of course he is aware of this, especially now that the kingdom is facing the threat of the thief Bakula and his men, no one will have any objection even if any unknown person is killed directly, in order to protect the pharaoh and guard the kingdom, This is a necessary sacrifice.

However, because it was Qisara, in order to compare with Mahad, Seth, who has always abided by the law, violated the teachings of the priests of Emperor Akna for the first time, and made the first selfishness in his life The perversion of the law even brought Qisara back to her residence.

"But, but..." Even though he knew that he had done something wrong, Seth was full of resistance just thinking of Qisara being sent to fight with those criminals, and opened his mouth to persuade Aknadi, But I couldn't find a suitable reason.

Seeing that Seth lost his composure because of a woman, Aknati also frowned.Could it be that Seth likes this woman?Although I also thought about letting Seth marry and give birth to children earlier, the target should also be the children of nobles. How can it be such a commoner woman?
And Seth, who has always been cold and arrogant, would actually talk back to me for such a woman who I have known for less than a day. This guy has too much influence on Seth!

Seth is going to be Pharaoh, so women get in the way.

"Look well, Seth, I have confirmed it with the power of the [Millennium Eye] before." The previous Aknadi only had the idea of ​​using Qisara, but after figuring out what, Aknadi She had a faint killing intent towards Qi Shala, but she still did a good job on the surface, "The magic power in that woman's heart is incalculable even with [Millennium Eyes]."

"Even the [Millennium Eye], one of the [Millennium Artifacts], is difficult to see through. With such a premise, the power of the monsters that can be awakened in this woman's heart will definitely not be weak."

"Even the purpose of this dungeon is to cultivate the nourishment that can make the monster in her heart grow as much as possible, and now the first nourishment is about to be absorbed by that woman!"

...

When Emperor Akna spoke, he looked at the moth feather standing on the iron plate above the deep pit, who had won nine games in a row. The implication was that he was the one who made the monster in Qisala's heart grow. nourishment".

From the very beginning, he gave Mo Yu and other criminals an impossible condition. The criminals need to win ten games in a row amidst the threat of death and the temptation of freedom. All the desires and potentials in them will be fully developed and squeezed out, so that their monsters can grow to the maximum.

Then, after they had won nine battles, Akhnadi would arrange for them to fight Kisara, leaving them all hope of being crushed at the slightest distance from freedom.

The cage where Qisara was in was opened by the guards, and two soldiers grabbed her by the arms and took her out of the cage, and dragged her to a bulge by the edge of the pit with her arms.The mechanism was activated, and several wooden boards were unfolded to form a bridge leading to a piece of iron board just vacated above the deep pit, as if to drive Qisara to it.

Seth's fists were tightly clenched, and when Qisara looked back at him with a helpless look, Seth still couldn't restrain his emotions in his heart, and said sharply: "Please, please wait a moment , I can't ignore your actions!"

"Even if it's you, Lord Aknadi, I can't keep silent!"

Hearing that Seth had repeatedly resisted his will for such a woman, Aknadi couldn't maintain the gentle expression on his face when he looked at Seth, and he became a little serious: "Stop making trouble, Seth, you still have to deal with it?" When will you be so naive! If you don’t have the awareness to fight against God, it’s impossible for you to gain power beyond God!”

"You don't want to dirty your hands, so I will bear this guilt. Open your eyes and see clearly, that woman is scared, trembling and screaming because of terror! Then, the power beyond God will fall into you hands!"

Seth was stunned, because Akhnadi's words completely touched what he had been struggling with in the depths of his heart.

Strength and glory, he has always believed that the two go together, strength can add glory, and glory will also bring strength, but it was not until he met Bakula that he realized that because he was still unable to be in the relationship between the two. If you make a choice among them, you can neither gain great power nor keep the existing glory.

What Aknadi did was essentially making a choice instead of Seth, abandoning the glory of being a priest, and directing power to the people who should be protected to gain powerful power.If it is replaced by other people who do not pursue power deeply, they may still be able to stand firm and refute the glory of Akhenadi's approach.

However, Seth hesitated for a moment because of his desire for power.

Looking back at Seth who was stunned by Akhnadi's words, Qisara whispered his name: "Seth."

Seeing that Seth finally didn't continue to refute himself, Aknadi waved his hand. Seeing this, the two guards pushed Qisara's back, causing her to stagger onto the wooden bridge. The wooden mechanism began to recover, and was forced to walk on the iron plate full of spikes!
...

"Woman, summon your monster and let me see its power!" Akenati said while sitting in his seat.

He wasn't worried at all about whether Qisara could win.The monsters controlled by every prisoner participating in the death battle are awakened by the power of his [Millennium Eye]. He is very clear about their power. The darkness in it is only four or five times stronger than before.

But Qisara, if you look at her not with the naked eye but with the [Millennium Eye], there will be a holy white light in front of Aknadi's eyes, and the powerful magic power contained in her heart will definitely breed a powerful magic power. Even though Aknadi has not seen the body of the elf with his own eyes until now, Aknadi still believes that it will never let him down.

After confirming that the light on Qisara's body was as dazzling as ever with [Millennium Eye], Aknadi raised his left hand to cover his eyes, but he didn't even notice that when he raised his hand, he was exposed to the [ [Millennium Eye]'s sight was covered with black air on his palm.

"Hahahaha, is my opponent this time actually this woman? I haven't seen you fight before, so you must be a novice. I am so lucky, Lord Mothfeather, as long as I kill you, freedom will be at your fingertips, a better tomorrow Waiting for me!"

Moyu watched Qisara step onto the iron plate. Although he looked down on her, he summoned his monster immediately, "Come out, my favorite [Insect Queen]!"

The spider monster that has killed many powerful enemies appeared in front of Moth Feather. Because of the successive victories and the ever-expanding desire and arrogance in the user's heart, the size of [Insect Queen] has become larger than when Sett first saw it. double.

However, facing the appearance of the [Insect Queen], Qisara, who had been forced to stand on the high platform, was still standing there trembling alone, and she couldn't see her summoning her elf.

Seeing this, Seth was also extremely anxious.In order to comfort himself, he chose to believe what Akenadi said before, and believed that there was an extremely powerful elf that even surpassed the power of God residing on Qisara. Going to fight on the board can also protect your own life without worry.

But what's going on now, why doesn't Kisara summon the elf?If this continues, she will be in danger!
What are you doing, Kisara, summon the elf, or you will die!

In Seth's clenched hands, his nails were embedded in the flesh and were about to pierce the skin. Anxiously, he couldn't help but move closer and closer to the deep pit.

Seeing that Qisara didn't summon the monster for a long time, Moyu didn't have the idea of ​​waiting for her leisurely. He wanted to win and live, so neither honor nor face was necessary for him. The existence of her, since the other party doesn't make a move, then I will take advantage of her illness to kill her!
"laugh--!"

【Queen of Insects】raised her abdomen, pointed the spinning tube at the position where Qisara was, and suddenly sprayed out a huge amount of silk thread, directly binding Qisara in place and unable to move!
...

"Hmm!" The body was completely entangled by the silk thread, and now Qisara couldn't even move on the iron plate, and could only be slaughtered by the moth-feathered [Insect Queen].

"Qisara!" Seeing this, Seth shouted eagerly.

And Emperor Akna also frowned, and urged: "Woman, don't you hurry up and summon the elves? Do you want to be killed!"

It's not that Aknadi cared about Qisara's life and death like Seth, Aknadi just thought that if Qisara died like this, wouldn't the magic power in her be wasted?That loss is too great.

"Ha ha ha ha ha, be careful sailing for ten thousand years, although I don't know why this woman didn't summon the monster, but just in case, I'll catch you with a silk thread first." Moth feather said with a strange smile, "And then Last---"

"Don't think about it!"

Just when Moth Feather was about to let his [Insect Queen] give the bound Qisara a final blow, Seth, who had reached the limit of patience, completely overcame the desire for power in his heart, and summoned his own slate monster.The gladiator plate was raised high by him, and the winged warrior [Duvos] holding a long sword was summoned by Seth, and he swung his sword to repel the attack of [Insect Queen].

And Seth himself also jumped onto the iron plate with the help of [Duvos], took out a small knife from the bottom of the [Millennium Scepter] in his hand, cut open the silk thread that was entangled with Qisara, and said with a serious face. Said to her, "Don't leave me from now on, you hear me, Kisara."

When Seth spoke, his tone was as arrogant as giving orders, as always, but Qisara could hear Seth's concern for her, she nodded shyly, gave a soft "um", and hid behind Seth's eyes. behind him.

But Aknati widened his eyes and looked at Seth in disbelief: "Seth! What are you doing, Seth!"

Facing Akenati's questioning, Seth took a deep breath and said calmly: "I failed to protect my mother well. Until now, I still regret my lack of strength at that time."

"But I swear, this time will be different!"

Looking at the [Insect Queen] who was confronting his own [Duvos], Seth stretched out his palm, "I, Seth, have spent the past 20 years of my life full of pursuit of power, but even this is what I have. My own pride and persistence. If the price of strength is the sacrifice of others, then I would rather not!"

"I give up pursuing power, Priest Akena!" Seth waved the [Millennium Scepter] firmly, "I will never let Qisara die!"

Accompanied by Seth's words, [Duvos] in front of him got the magic boost from the [Millennium Scepter], and the wings on his back suddenly opened, and the gorgeous colorful magic turned into wings of light, pushing him towards the [Insect Queen]. ] Pounce!
"I didn't expect the priest to break into this death fight. I'm so excited! I have suffered so much, let you feel my pain too, sir!" Facing Seth Under the command of [Duvos]'s attack, Moyu didn't panic at all, and ordered with a smirk, "If it was the beginning, my [Insect Queen] is indeed no match for the priest, but I have gone through so many battles."

"My pain is above yours!"

[Queen of Insects] swooped towards [Duvos], the result was unexpected, most of the sword energy swung by [Duvos] was easily caught by [Queen of Insects], without any threat Moyu, and after the two collided, it was really as Moyu said, that his [Insect Queen] had the upper hand! ?
But Seth snorted coldly: "Idiot, my puzzle to victory is much more perfect than you expected! Show me clearly, my real target!"

Mo Yu was also shocked when he heard the words, and looked up suddenly, but just saw the remaining sword energy that could not be completely caught by the [Insect Queen] flying straight to the chain linking the ceiling and the iron plate above the deep pit, knocking it down. All cut off.

All of a sudden, all the iron plates on the deep pit lost their fixation, and all the prisoners who stood fighting above fell into the deep pit!
