Ark, they don't revolve around you

But Salus was still a step too slow. The other party seemed to be casting a spell, and the door that could be opened easily just now was now motionless as if it was cast by iron.

……No.

Salus saw at a glance that it was because of the blood attached to the door, which had almost solidified into solid blood!

From the corners of the room, the ceiling, and even the floor, strands of blood flowed out, and each drop of blood made a crisp sound, like a bead curtain falling to the ground.

Terror appeared on Salus's face: "Blood Demon? No... Blood Demon Court, how could there still be someone from the Blood Demon Court now?!"

A scoff came from Smokescreen.

The bloody blade tore open the curtain of smoke and dust, and the figure of the man gradually became clear, but fear slowly crept into Salus' heart.

Impossible. She thought, the man opposite seemed to have guessed what Salus was thinking, smiled slightly, and said in a friendly voice: "What's impossible, Salus?"

Salus's breathing became heavy.

Under her bangs, her eyes became dull and she murmured, "Zhuang Ning... Doctor."

Yes, she recognized the name.

Salus believed that his biggest enemy was now sitting on a high place with his legs crossed and his neck raised, looking at his not-so-friendly "old friend" with great interest.

Salus swallowed and looked around.

Zhuang Ning comforted her: "Don't worry, it's just you and me here."

"This is impossible." Salus's eyes were still filled with shock. "How can you use magic, especially the witchcraft of the Blood Demon Lord?"

Like everyone else, Salus is a blood supremacist.

They mocked all lowly blood, believing that only noble blood could rule everything.

This is also the reason why the Absolver always wants to usurp the crown. Almost all the Sarkaz chosen by the crown do not have noble blood and are the lowest of all the Sarkaz.

Slaves, woodcutters, rangers...pardoners and demon lords of the Blood Demon Court are rare exceptions.

Because of this, Salus even looked down on these demon kings. In her eyes, there was only her leader and her "family".

Apart from this, they are all just animals in human form.

At first, Salus had the same idea about the Doctor.

After all, the Doctor does not possess any combat abilities, and has never shown anything special in his bloodline.

To those who look down upon other lesser bloodlines, the Doctor is just one of the common people.

What turned the balance of the war? It was simply because the Absolution Master had no fate. Under the absolute power, the resistance of mortals was insignificant.

Until Zhuang Ning led the army to hang all the pardoners except her.

Even so, she didn't believe that the spell was caused by the doctor. Zhuang Ning's body structure was indeed special, completely different from any known race, but how could he use Tikaz's spell!

Zhuang Ning was stunned for a moment, as if he felt it was ridiculous from the bottom of his heart, and walked towards it step by step.

With every step he took, blood rose under his feet, condensing into strange shadows, as if it was drooling over this pardoner and couldn't wait to eat him up.

Zhuang Ning glanced at his blood with a slightly reproachful look. The blood seemed to feel aggrieved and whimpered, but could only hide his murderous intent.

Salus was stunned. She could tell at a glance that the blood was the blood of Tikaz.

why?

Why should this noble blood flatter a person of unknown race? !

"Don't you understand?" The doctor sneered, "Because you are the lowly slaves, Salus."

Salus burst into sound, ancient words and magnificent spells took shape in an instant, like a black curtain.

The curtain enveloped Zhuang Ning, and the royal court should have been delayed for a moment.

However, in the blink of an eye, the curtain was shattered and cracked, and it couldn't stop it even for a moment!

At the moment when the spell was about to take shape, Zhuang Ning threw out a stone and easily destroyed it!

The stone continued to fall with force, piercing through Salus's left shoulder. Zhuang Ning took the opportunity to run and appeared in front of the pardoner. He lifted her neck and smiled as before:

"I still remember the scene when we first met. You wanted to attack Amiya, but I was... powerless." Zhuang Ning put strength into his hands and murmured with emotion, "It's been so long."

He remembered that scene.

At that time, Amiya was cursed by the dead souls and could not move. Neither Logos nor Askalon appeared. It was Salus who showed up and did not hide his contempt.

But Zhuang Ning was so powerless.

"Words are useless, wisdom is insignificant, what did you say at that time?" Zhuang Ning whispered.

Salus was still struggling, still trying to cast a spell.

But what greeted her was a tide of blood, every drop of which bound her tightly.

She saw the devil's smile: "You asked me what I could do? Yes, I really couldn't do anything at that time, but I didn't expect that in just such a short period of time, you and I would be able to switch between offense and defense."

Salusk suppressed his fear and tried his best to taunt: "You can be proud of yourself. Although I don't know how you violated the magic of the royal court, you will definitely suffer retribution!"

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was just trying to be strong.

Zhuang Ning also saw it, but did not expose it. Instead, he said in a gentle voice:

"I'll give you a chance to live. I want you to help me find your leader, Quesatusta."

"you are dreaming!"

"Are you dreaming?" Zhuang Ning smiled.

The blood flowed into the man's body.

Salus was horrified to find that he was completely unable to control his own blood, like a puppet.

The blood boils.

Her face was broken and she was in great pain. Zhuang Ning sighed with pity: "I'll say it again, my patience is limited. Help me find your leader, Quesatusta."

"kill me!"

Zhuang Ning was stunned for a moment, and gave up the method of gradually threatening with blood. This kind of hard bone was the most disgusting, and torture was meaningless.

Fortunately, Zhuang Ning had anticipated this situation and made a foolproof plan. He smiled:

"Why should you be loyal to the leader of the Absolver? You are nothing but food in his eyes."

"Shut... up!" Salus answered almost instinctively, "We are family!"

"Family?" Zhuang Ning sneered, "Do you really think so?"

"They and I are...family!"

Yes.

For Salus, that was reason enough.

Zhuang Ning's eyes showed sadness: "But they never regarded you as family, whether it was Kwisashina or Kwisatusta."

Kwisathina is Shining's real name, a name Shining had long since abandoned.

As for Kwisatusta, the name of the original pardoner, it means everlasting hope.

Salus was stunned for a moment, then immediately became furious.

Zhuang Ning seemed unaware and continued talking.

"Do you know who slaughtered all the pardoners?"

"It's you!"

"Of course it wasn't me." Zhuang Ning seemed to be pleased. "At that time, I did force Quesatusta into a desperate situation, and he summoned all the pardoners...including you, intending to use the altar to take your lives."

"It was not me who wiped out the Absolver clan, but your beloved leader, Salus."

Zhuang Ning taunted her in her ear, "You are just a fool who was seduced by Quesatusta."

Salus heard the sound of the last string breaking.

"You're a liar!" she roared, "You're a liar! You killed him!"

Zhuang Ning did not get angry, but instead loosened his hands that were tightly binding Salus.

He let the woman fall to the ground and begin to sob, but instead sneered: "No one considers you family."

"Impossible! Impossible!"

Big tears fell, and Salus trembled all over and almost suffocated.

Yes, she actually knew that Zhuang Ning was right. The leader had never considered her as a family member.

But, but——

A voice floated from above again, as majestic as a father or brother: "Last chance, help me find Quesatus Tower."

Salus was stunned for a moment, and his eyes suddenly became fierce.

She raised her staff, but with the sharp side, pointing it at her own chest.

She wants to commit suicide.

Committing suicide...Zhuang Ning's intention of mocking him was even stronger. This group of people are always like this.

Before Salus could react, his shoulder was stepped on and the bones of his right arm were crushed!

Just in case, Zhuang Ning crushed her left arm and both calves.

Salus was disheartened: "Kill me."

Zhuang Ning held Salus's chin lovingly and looked at the woman: "But I can't bear to let her go."

"I remember now, do you Absolvers have a spell to implant memories?"

"I've seen it in The Shining." Zhuang Ning's eyes were clear, like a curious child. "You don't mind letting me try, right?"

Salus remained dazed.

Zhuang Ning's words broke down her defenses, and she was basically like a puppet.

Faced with this wonderful tool, Zhuang Ning felt even more compassionate and hugged it gently, as if he were treating his own family.

"Salus, you want a family, right?" the devil murmured. "Although my skills are not superb, I am not incapable of it."

"But forget about family, let's talk about the master, right?" Zhuang Ning smiled even more brightly and drew his sword.
