Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 321 The Lamplighter

World Tree Square.

Rabbi stepped forward. Although a fatal wound had been inflicted, Slovendo was indeed not dead yet. With so many methods at her disposal, she felt extremely insecure, constantly sensing that Slovendo might rise from the dead at any moment.

Rabi's own violence level might barely qualify him as a melee fighter, but he crossed two chasms and kicked Slovendo, a powerful gang-level fighter, to death with one kick. It can only be said that the black umbrella given by Zheng Fan was really too powerful.

In theory, as long as Rabbi can accurately block all enemy attacks with this umbrella, her combat power can reach the level of any opponent. The black umbrella's transformation ability provides her with this exaggerated possibility.

However, to achieve such an exaggerated potential, the first and most important principle, which has always been emphasized, is "precision." All attacks must be blocked precisely. Therefore, if she encounters opponents who can unleash wide-range attacks with ease, those who utilize environmental kills, or other strange and unusual mechanics, she will be completely helpless.

Slovendo, a simple player, just happened to run into trouble. He has none of the above-mentioned skills. If he had been able to spray poison like Bao Wei, he wouldn't have been beaten so badly by someone from a higher level.

Even so, Rabbi spent a considerable amount of time studying Slovendo's intelligence before putting it into practice in battle.

Moreover, Slovendo was also tormented by the carrot and the illusionary doll on the spot, which damaged his energy. The last trump card originally prepared for Slovendo was not used at all, and he was taken down with a single kick to the neck.

Before the rabbi could reach Slovendo, a man in a torn suit rushed to Slovendo's side, raised his sword high, and stabbed it fiercely at Slovendo, who was lying on the ground.

Pfft!

Slovendo's eyes widened, and his body twitched.

No way! Is he really going to die here?!
It's so humiliating. If he really dies here, the cause of his death will be taken back and forever nailed to the pillar of shame of the Dadu Tide Army!

Chegodoya... come save me... you should have received the message I sent you... come quickly...

On the verge of death, Slovendo disregarded his disheveled appearance and pride, opening his mouth and roaring to the sky: "Chegodoya! Save me!"

bang——

His shouts were answered.

That beam of white light, like Tyndall effect piercing through the clouds, shone on Slovendo with a sacred and dreamlike quality.

The senator who had taken the head and killed Sloven was instantly vaporized under the light, leaving only a scream that sounded like a shout.

While inflicting terrible damage, Radiance also healed Slovendo's injuries, rapidly restoring his newly inflicted wounds and pulling him back from the brink of death.

"I can't bear to look, brother." The "Archangel with the Lamp" landed beside Slovendo; it was a handsome young man. His features bore a slight resemblance to Slovendo's, but from his appearance alone, Slovendo looked almost like the young man's father.

Whether it's due to the significant age difference between the two, or simply because Sloven looks much older, these are minor details that are difficult to ascertain.

The young man did indeed have a pair of pure white wings spread behind him, and under such light, he truly looked like an angel descending to earth.

“Finally, you’ve finally come… Quick, help me take it down…” Even though Slovendo was a resolute soldier, he couldn’t help but have tears welling up in his eyes.

"Stop talking nonsense, you useless older brother." But his words were interrupted by his beloved younger brother, "I'm only here to bring you back. Don't try to be tough with me anymore. You're also relieved of your duties in the Wave Army. Someone will take your place. I won't help you anymore; that would be breaking the rules."

"How could this be?!" Slovendo, on the verge of death, sat up in shock, grabbing the hem of his younger brother's white robe. "This is my business!"

“Since this is your business, don’t always think about relying on me. Last time I helped, the situation didn’t even meet the minimum requirements. I was the one who made an exception for you, thinking I could help you build up your achievements quickly. Now you want to come back for something like this again? How pathetic.” Chegodoa was a bit annoyed by his brother’s cowardly behavior and coldly refused.

Rabbi: "..."

I thought some super savior had arrived, but instead, they put on this embarrassing brotherly show in front of her, which made even outsiders feel sorry for Sloven.

Who is the older brother and who is the younger brother?
However, the rabbi also remembered this Chegodoya.

Although I haven't seen or read much about him, his name was the ultimate shadow of Scalova before Slovendo.

In the early stages of the war, he was like a god descending to earth, single-handedly annihilating the Scallovan puppet division in a major battle, directly shattering Scallovan pride and deeply etching the terror of the capital into the hearts of the Scallovan people.

There has been no sign of him since then.

Then he came again.

Upon seeing him, many people who still vividly remembered that battle turned pale, their hearts filled with immense fear, and many immediately gave up resistance.

"Oh my god...it's him, it's that white angel!" "Why has he appeared again! Why! Is heaven going to destroy us!?"

"It's all because of our resistance and blasphemy!"

The sound of people wailing could be heard at the scene.

The Wave Army, who were initially worried about the worsening situation and unsure how to end it, breathed a sigh of relief and smiled with ease when they saw that Chegodoa, whom they had been trying to contact for a long time without a direct reply, had finally decided not to give up on Slovendo.

This is the lamplighter.

In the minds of the Dadu Wave Army, they were omnipotent gods, or at least not much different; as long as they took action, everything would be alright.

Slovendo has many merits, but his greatest merit is having a lamplighter brother, which is the most convincing factor in his credibility. Of course, very few lamplighters are biased; most of them don't have such intentions. However, kinship is a close bond, and even if the lamplighter himself doesn't have such intentions, others will flatter Slovendo.

Not to mention that Chegodoya did indeed take good care of his brother.

Even a small amount would be enough for Sloven to become a sergeant major in an army group despite not having enough experience.

But now that his sad brother has messed things up, he doesn't intend to interfere any further.

After helping his brother clean up the mess, he can go back to retire. Although it's a bit early to retire at this age, decades early, others don't even have the chance yet.

Oh no!

Just as he was talking to Slovendo, a bolt clicked.

Chegodoya looked up at the small figure standing in front of him. The person was about the same age as him, but his body appeared unusually small due to underdevelopment caused by some childhood issues.

Oh? Those eyes are very interesting.

They had initially overlooked her because she was too weak, but now, upon closer inspection, they discovered many unique qualities about her.

While those around him trembled at his appearance, the rabbi expressionlessly took out a musket adorned with rosewood and red floral patterns and pointed it at him.

Courage? Or... confidence?
“Although you nearly killed my incompetent brother, I have no intention of doing anything more for him in this world. Not even revenge, even though I could easily eliminate you. Young lady, please calm your pointless anger. Whatever you do, I don’t believe it will bring you any benefit,” Chegodoa said to the rabbi in a calm and businesslike manner.

Upon hearing this, the rabbi gripped his musket tightly: "He was able to take action for his brother, directly eliminating the warriors of this world in the war of invasion, and yet at this moment he can act all official and show great mercy."

Chegodoya remained unmoved by the sarcasm in the rabbi's cold words: "Yes," he even admitted directly.

"It may be cruel, but whatever I do to you, whether for public or private reasons, is fundamentally unfair. And what can you do, girl?"

At this moment, many Scallovans around were silently pleading.

They pleaded with the rabbi to lay down his weapons and let Chegodoya leave.

Rabbi looked at Chegodoya and at Slovendo, who was looking at him with disgust.

"Can you tolerate your incompetent brother, while I have to watch you spoil the murderer who caused my misfortune because of the death of my loved ones?"

Chegodoya's gentle demeanor revealed a cold indifference to the world. The rabbi could see that this man was truly like a detached and ruthless god, caring about nothing except his brother, whom he was related by blood: "The source of hatred can never be fully traced, so why can't you let it go? Your anger is meaningless at this moment."

This sense of incongruity and contradiction emanated from a human-shaped being, and the rabbi knew that he could indeed be considered a person, which made her feel an even more bizarre absurdity.

This is the "lamplighter".

"Yes," she said softly to this being that was neither human nor inhuman.

The rabbi pulled the trigger on Chegodoya.

boom!
A shot was fired.

Chegodoya's expression changed drastically.
