Heart of the Castle

Chapter 537 The building will fall, and the morning star will come

Seeing the body of the regent and heir to the throne, Raul Adams, hit the wall heavily, and then fell over in a cloud of dust with a muffled groan, many nobles in the royal capital screamed in panic, and some turned and ran. Desperate to leave this apparently cursed land; swords were drawn, but fearful eyes could not find a target for attack and defense; others stood still, but not because of courage , but robbed of the ability to act by fear.

Although equally astonished, Marquis Osiris didn't hesitate in his actions. He leaped forward lightly, and the blade of Wrath of Nature ignited a green fighting spirit, pointing to the abyss where he didn't know whether he should be called Her Majesty the Queen Mother or not. biology.

"Put down Raul Adams' heart, devil, or I'll give you a taste of the wrath of nature!"

Lilaya cursed and turned to fight, her movements were inhumanly agile, and the sound of her claws tearing the air was like howling the wind. However, even if her movements were twice as fast, it was still difficult for her to escape the sky knight's all-out slashing.The green sword light flashed, and the purple-red demonic blood groaned in pain, scattering like raindrops in the hot wind.Lilaya's right hand was broken at the wrist, and when she fell to the ground, her five fingers were still tightly holding onto the bloody thing that was pulled out from Grand Duke Raul's chest.

Marquis Osiris retracted the epee in his left hand into the scabbard, then slowly squatted down, and picked up Lilaya's severed wrist from the ground. When he was doing this, the epee in his right hand was always pointing forward vigilantly, his gaze It has been staying on top of the graceful figure with broken right hand.

Sky Knight had to be cautious. Although he cut off Lilaya's right wrist with only one sword, and seemed to have an overwhelming advantage, he himself was not unscathed.Lilaya's counterattacked claws swept across his chest, cutting the golden lion head of the emerald lion armor into several parallel pieces. The incision was smooth, as if it was not hard metal, but a model made of cheese. Same.

However, his vigilance proved to be in vain. Lilaya didn't take the opportunity to launch an attack, trying to snatch back her right wrist. Instead, she took a few steps back and returned to the ruins of the palace.There she let out a burst of soft and beautiful laughter. Although many people had just witnessed the ruthless killing of the owner of the laughter, they were still confused by the sound, and there was even a soft expression on their tense faces.

Only a few of the most determined people can be completely immune to the natural charm of the abyss succubus. Griffin Lord Levi Ston is one of them, but it is likely to be related to the power of the castle heart, and the proxy group of the Death Knights Long Tomard Jansen also kept sharp and sober eyes.

"Goddess Marfa, it seems that I really chose the wrong ally." Thomas Yangsen complained to himself, the voice just enough for Li Wei who was opposite to hear him clearly, and then He turned his eyes away from the motionless body of Grand Duke Raul and turned to Lord Griffin.

"Lord Levi Ston, I'm glad I didn't clash with your subordinates outside the city just now. Otherwise, Griffin and Reaper are both strong, and the confrontation between them will inevitably bring a lot of unnecessary bloodshed."

Li Wei frowned slightly, feeling a little strange at the sudden outpouring of favor from Lord Gnaw Eyes, "You're right, Lord Thomas." There was a hint of doubt hidden in his tone, "I am very grateful for your caution, otherwise the blood of the soldiers of the Northern Alliance Army will be shed several times more, and the loss of the Death Knights will also weaken the overall strength of the kingdom."

"That's why we should try our best to avoid the possibility of similar things happening, Lord Levi Ston." The voice of the Lord of the Eyes was surprisingly quiet, almost no different from raving, but it was clearly transmitted to Levi's ears. By the side, he couldn't help but wonder if it was a kind of magic. "Bless Goddess Marfa, the confrontation just now did not lead to disastrous consequences, but we cannot pin all our hopes on the guidance of fate. To say something offensive, if Arthur XIII has not died, then the Griffin A bloody conflict with the Grim Reaper is almost inevitable."

"If the Death Knights insist on acting as the kingslayer's minions, from their respective standpoints, conflicts will still be inevitable." Li Wei pointed out calmly.

"You're right." Lord Grim Eyes nodded in agreement, "but the position is not irreconcilable, and the contradiction is not irreconcilable. The Grim Reaper is different from the Griffin. The Griffin has a large territory in the northern border as a shelter from the wind, but the Grim Reaper has lost Iron Rock City in Westwind County. The relationship between Reaper and Grand Duke Raul is an exchange of interests, and the same exchange can also occur between Reaper and Griffin."

"You mean, we're allied?"

"Yes, form an alliance, you and I, Griffin and Reaper, so that the only remaining high-end combat power in the kingdom can be integrated into one, advance and retreat together, and there will be no tragedy of internal friction." Tomad Yangsen said eloquently Talk, "Reaper will equip Griffin with the sharpest scythe, and Griffin can also give Reaper wings that cover the sky and cover the sun. Lord Levi Ston, forming an alliance is a profitable choice for both parties. If you If you are worried about the dominance of the covenant, then I can make a promise that in the covenant, the god of death and the griffin have equal status, but my lord Tomad Jansen will follow the lord of the griffin."

"Is it like following Count Gregor Clemennon?" Li Wei's answer was pointed, and a sharp light flashed in Tomard Jansen's golden eyes.

"It seems that you know far more than I imagined, Lord Griffin, but I will withhold my proposal until you get rid of your worries." Lord Grim Eyes said slowly, "But there is one thing You must be clear that even in myths and legends, the Death Scythe is a very dangerous weapon, and only the truly strong can control it, and Earl Gregor..." Thomas Yangsen paused for a moment, with a ruthless expression on the corner of his mouth With a smile, "He is not strong enough."

Li Wei was about to answer, but a sharp roar interrupted what he was about to say, "Gods, what is this?" It sounded like the voice belonged to the Marquis of Osiris, and it was full of fear, which made Li Wei My heart skipped a beat.

Li Wei once had contact with Marquis Osiris for a period of time. They fought side by side in St. White Rock Castle, and together they escorted the seriously injured Dragon King back to Firmeyer in secret.So the Griffon Lord knew very well that Marquis Osiris had a resolute character that didn't match his handsome appearance, and it was rare for the Sky Knight to show fear.

But when he saw the porous flesh writhing crazily on the ground, Li Wei fully understood why Marquis Osiris yelled like this. In fact, if he hadn't been mentally prepared, the Griffin Lord would almost have lost his voice in shock. call.

The mass of flesh and blood can still vaguely look like a human heart, but it has far more holes than any other heart, and there are many weird and ugly organs growing on the surface, including several mouths full of sharp teeth and two tightly squeezed The ghostly green evil eyes together, the vitality of the flesh and blood is obviously quite abundant, although it has no legs, it is twisting crazily on the ground, and several broken blood vessels are like tentacles whipping everything around.

"This is the heart of Raul Adams?" The tone of the Lord of the Eyes was full of surprise, "It is simply a creature of the abyss!"

"It's not an abyssal creature, I'm afraid it's an undead creature." Li Wei replied with a solemn expression, "Northern Aura, Green Castle... I've seen this kind of thing in several places - sneaky rotten sac, not very powerful The undead creatures are actually vicious tricks to accuse the dead of manipulating people's hearts."

What Li Wei didn't have time to say is that although the sneaky rot sac is not powerful, and it doesn't look like it has any wings or claws, it can fly extremely flexibly. When I encountered this kind of thing for the first time in North Orla, I was very impressed. They caused some trouble.Sure enough, when Marquis Osiris walked over with disgust on his face, the mass of flesh and blood jumped up from the ground without warning, and flew in the opposite direction at such a fast speed that it was like a bolt of bloody lightning.

However, the emerald green sword light flashed, and then the bloody lightning disappeared, leaving only a scream like a dying animal's wail in the air, and pieces of flesh and blood that exploded suddenly.

This sad, sneaky rotting sac has proved the sky knight's unstoppable fierce swordsmanship with its life, but the Marquis Osiris was not delighted by this small victory, but looked at the ruins of the palace with eyes full of resentment That ghostly figure.

"Damn devil, what did you do to Grand Duke Raul?"

Facing the angry question from Marquis Osiris, Lilaya responded with a stern laugh that made people feel chills all over her body, "The thing on that poisonous snake has nothing to do with me, otherwise how could I let him do anything that would threaten him?" What did Ken Adams do?" Her gaze then turned to Levi Stern, with an expression on her face between weeping and smiling, "Lord Griffon, if I had known this would be the end, I should have chosen to ally with you , in fact, I have tried many times, but...you...you have repeatedly refused to kiss the back of my outstretched hand."

Levi thought of the letter sent by the queen before Sir Rodriguez and Earl Stilwell duel; and the pleading eyes of the queen after Earl Stilwell's defeat. "I will not stand with those who betray the kingdom." He said forcefully, "Even the queen regent."

"If you had chosen to accept my goodwill at that time, then the truth of the matter would never have been known. Raul Adams would have been exposed as a traitor, and although I was an abyss succubus, in order to fulfill my brother's wish, It would not be a pity to lose your life even if you are fighting against the terrible abyss lord." Two lines of clear tears flowed from Lilaya's green eyes, which were probably her last tears as a human being, because then the eyes changed Be bloody red!

"Li Wei Ston, since you call yourself a true knight, I hope you can tell me, is it wrong for me to want to take back our golden throne? Is it wrong to take revenge on the blood of the former kingslayer? "

"Unfortunate people who have been eroded by darkness, no matter how much suffering and injustice you have suffered, that is not a valid reason for you to exchange other people's lives for revenge." Li Wei replied with a serious expression, "I sympathize with what you have suffered , but the way to take revenge on you for betraying the interests of the kingdom..."

"It's enough, it's enough. Li Wei? Ston, I am very grateful to you. Perhaps only you who are still naive are willing to explain to me, a person who has degenerated into an abyss creature..." Lilaya gently Sighing, the smile on his face was extremely sad, "If you could live in that era a hundred years ago, and hold a lot of power, maybe history would change in a different way, but now...it's too late... "

When Lilaya said "It's too late", Li Wei's face suddenly changed, because in the field of vision of the probing technique, Lilaya, which had always been light green, suddenly turned into a striking dark red , It seems that a real terrifying power is brewing in this petite figure. Although it has not been fully revealed, it makes Li Wei's cheeks feel tingling.

The power that Li Wei can feel, of course, Marquis Osiris, who is more sensitive than him, will not be unable to feel it, and he is also very clear about the source of this power. "Curse of the same bloodline!" Sky Knight's voice was full of unconcealable tremors, "Do you really have the bloodline of Royal Arthur?"

"Of course, is there any need for me to deceive you?" Lilaya replied sadly, and then thick blood flowed from her eye sockets, crawling across her fair face like a purple snake.

"Stop!" Marquis Osiris roared angrily, and the bright emerald green grudge burst out suddenly, blowing out a suffocating gust of wind.The Sky Knight then flew through the air like a green shooting star, and slammed into the slender figure in the middle of the ruins.

Lilaya raised her hands, and the magic scroll she had prepared earlier shattered in her hands. Countless sparks intertwined into a wave of fire in the ruins of the palace, engulfing Marquis Osiris in it with hundreds of explosions. .

"Da Gama Burning Hell!" Mr. Dish blurted out in surprise.This is a situation that Li Wei rarely sees. The Griffin Lord couldn't help but turned his head and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Dish, is this magic very powerful? Is it dangerous for Marquis Osiris to rush in?"

"How is it possible? The Celestial Knight will probably only be hurt if he is hit by a legendary magic." Mr. Dish shook his head without hesitation and said, "Da Gama's Burning Hell is a top-level flame magic with good power. But it surprised me The most important thing is that this magic cannot be sealed in the magic scroll, I wonder if it is the latest research result of the Mage Guild over the years?"

As Mr. Disch said, the sky knight only needed three or five breaths to tear apart this top-level fire magic with his powerful grudge.However, Lilaya's original intention of releasing this magic was to delay time, and when a ray of emerald green light tore through the sea of ​​flames, her curse ceremony was just completed, and a red light spit out from her mouth, hitting straight Archduke Raul who fell by the wall.

"Not good!" Cardinal Enoch Sebasta couldn't help blurting out, and then he walked forward quickly, walked up to Grand Duke Raul and bent down, followed by Star Mentor and Palace Chief, the former looked a little bit Stiff, and the latter also lost the calm smile on his face.

Grand Duke Raul is just an ordinary human being. The severe injury of losing his heart is absolutely fatal to him. In addition, Lilaya's heavy kick broke more than half of his sternum. His last words were swallowed.Several senior clerics of the Glory Temple have already made the same judgment, that is, the Regent King, the Duke of the Kingdom, and the Guardian of the Realm, Raul Adams, is already a dead corpse that cannot die anymore.However, following Lilaya's curse, something unpredictable happened to Grand Duke Raul's body. A thick blood-colored light shot out from the scar on his chest, shot straight into the sky, and then seemed to be a Covering it like a huge umbrella, hundreds of rays of light fell in various places on the streets of Firmeyer.

The two rays of light closest to everyone can be said to be close at hand, respectively shining on Sir Bona, the second son of Archduke Raul, and Knight Hyde, the third son.The two people first showed a surprised expression, and then the expression changed into a distorted face intertwined with pain and terror.

Sir Bonner, who was relatively weak, collapsed almost instantly, and the surface of his body was covered with countless bloody scars, pustules, and sores. Yellow-green pus flowed down his body, and a stream of blood flowed down his body. The stench of rotting corpses followed.Just a few heartbeats later, Sir Bona, who was still harmless and painless just now, turned into a festering corpse, like a rotting corpse that was picked up after being buried in the ground for many years.

"No, help me..." Knight Hyde's strong physique helped him to support him for a few more seconds. While screaming for help, he tried his best to stimulate the unique golden fighting spirit of Arthur's royal family. The golden fighting spirit that reached the peak of Sanhua was like a flame. Burned up, but collapsed in front of the curse power.Several clergymen hastily recited prayers in praise of Flandara, and then several clusters of light formed by divine spells fell on Knight Hyde, including the white light of healing, the yellow light of lifting curses, and the light of resisting evil. blue light.

However, all these efforts were in vain. The divine magic light surrounded Knight Hyde's body, but it couldn't relieve his pain, let alone stop the terrible blood curse from raging.Knight Hyde's battle energy was quickly exhausted, and the skin exposed outside the armor immediately burst into countless horrible blood scars and abscesses. He fell to the ground and writhed in pain, spilling a lot of foul-smelling pus on the ground every time. , The screams then resounded through the sky, shrill and terrifying, but soon returned to silence.
