I, Viego, conquer Terra!

In front, a fierce blade-like stream of water splashed out, cutting through the void and flying towards Viego - a bit like the Second Generation Hokage's signature ninjutsu, Water Break Wave.

Behind him, a whistling cold wind blew past, dispersing the black fog a little. It spread out like a ring and caused Viego's clothes to begin to frost quickly.

The fireball above his head provided a huge attack range, making it impossible for Viego to hide freely in the black fog. The frost ring behind him slowed down Viego's movements, ensuring the hit rate of his skills. The water blade in front of him was the final killing move, leaving him no way to avoid it.

The black fog around him was disturbed, and three figures emerged from the shadows, surrounding Viego in a triangle, holding daggers and rushing towards him.

Wow, it’s a series of killing moves.

Viego raised the corner of his lips, tightly grasped the Ruined King Sword in his right hand, condensed the black mist into a ball in his left hand, and threw it towards the fireball above!

"Then let's see how strong you are!"

......

"Be careful." Shining held the sword and looked to the east. "The enemies over there are coming towards us, two of them."

After being branded by Viego, Black Mist became defenseless against her and could share perception with her, allowing Shining to detect the movements of the Pardoners.

Behind her was Mostima, crouching with his gun ready.

The angel girl smiled, not feeling nervous about facing Kazdel's most mysterious force. "Sakta and Sarkaz fight side by side, and the enemy is the most mysterious Absolver... How could I have such a dream?"

"We kissed the same man earlier." Shining raised the corners of his lips and drew out the straight sword in his hand. "At that time, didn't you feel like you were in a dream?"

The atmosphere between Shining and Mastema is very pleasant, without the tension of fighting each other when Shakota and Sarkaz meet.

Mastema blushed. "Don't talk about this..."

"Why, are you shy?"

"Aren't you blushing too? Don't think I didn't see it!"

"...I didn't deny the existence of this thing." Shining raised the straight sword in his hand slightly, interrupted the small talk, and stared at the front. "They are almost there."

"What time is it?" Mostima also got into the state and focused.

"Eleven o'clock." Shining had participated in the war between Kazdel and Lateran. As an enemy, he was naturally familiar with the style of Lateran archers. He instantly understood Mostima's meaning and reported the direction of the Absolution Masters.

Mostima turned the muzzle of the gun slightly and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

boom--!

Dull gunshots rang out, and silence fell in the black fog.

Shining, however, could sense the status of the Pardoners with the help of the black fog. "Hit them, they are coming, be careful."

"Go ahead, I'll cover you."

"Yes." Shining nodded, and a warm white light shone on the sword, and then -

Charge forward with sword in hand!

The glowing long sword cut through the black fog and slashed straight towards the empty space in front.

But, this sword hit the target.

laugh--

The sound of swords entering flesh rang out, blood splattered, and the Pardoner's arm flew high into the air.

He reacted at the last moment before being chopped and barely managed to save his life.

The Pardoner revealed himself, and from under his hood, he looked at Shining with shock and anger. "Why... did you betray me too?!"

"No." Shining's face was cold, and he turned around and raised his sword to block the dagger coming from behind. "It was the Absolver who betrayed me."

This sharpest sword of shadow should not be used to stab innocent compatriots.

The Pardoner has gone bad.

They are cold, cruel and inhumane.

to be frank.

Shining had wanted to draw his sword a long time ago.

Originally, she was still hesitant about the so-called responsibility and inheritance because of the education she received when she was young.

But now, she no longer hesitates.

"The king's black fog has dispelled the confusion before my eyes." The white-haired Sarkaz raised his sword, and the white light condensed more and more on the blade, making the blade of the long sword so bright that it was almost dazzling.

Behind him, the dull sound of firing rang out again, accurately hitting the poisoned dagger that the Pardoner had thrown at Shining, causing it to deviate from its trajectory.

On the inside of the wrist, the inverted triangle mark is slightly cooler.

The black fog spontaneously gathered around her and blended with the white glow, turning the originally pure white light into a more low-key and dim gray, but the degree of danger increased instead of decreased.

Everything happened in just a few seconds.

Shining's eyes were sharp and determined. He whispered words of farewell to the past and swung the sword in his hand high up!

"From now on, I will naturally fight for him!"

The dim light split the night into two halves. The Pardoner who rushed forward with a dagger in his hand was annihilated in the light. An angel girl came from behind her, patted her shoulder with a smile, and pointed to the hot fireworks that suddenly bloomed in the sky, lighting up the night sky.

......

The condensed black mist disrupted the Originium molecular array of the high-altitude fireball, causing the Originium technique to be out of control. It failed to fall and exploded in the sky.

The water blade that was flying through the air in front was chopped into pieces by the Sword of the Ruined King.

Three pardoners armed with daggers rushed forward, cutting Viego's skin with the daggers in their hands.

But the white-haired man didn't care. He retracted the Ruined King's Sword and cut a pardoner who was retreating a little slower into two halves.

The influx of life essence made the Curse of Ruin more excited and agitated.

The dark green long sword swung out a crescent moon and accurately slashed the body of another pardoner again, cutting his chest and abdomen open!

Black fog rolled out and surrounded the Pardon Division, which had already begun to consider retreating.

Humph, want to escape?

"The tide is surging!"

Chapter 69: Viego: Refuse to use your knees as a pillow!

The Pardoner passed away peacefully.

In this battle, Viego killed four, Shining killed two, and the remaining Absolver had his head blown up by Mostima's gun while escaping from the black fog.

Summary: All enemies were wiped out and no one was injured.

A big win!

Afterwards, Viego drove and found the camp of the Pardoners under the guidance of the Shining.

The innocent Sarkaz girl, who was used as a "medical tool" by the Pardoners, was imprisoned in a tent in the camp.

Viego and Mostima followed Shining into the camp and stood in front of a dark tent.

The layout of the pardoners' camp is also quite interesting. The tents for living are all gray, but the tent in front of you is pure black, probably to make a distinction.

"In the eyes of the Pardoner, the black tent represents a cage, an experimental site, a prison, etc." Shining saw the curiosity of Viego and Mostima and explained in a low voice.

She looked at the tent in front of her, hesitated for a moment, then reached out and lifted the curtain.

The halo above Mostima's head worked, lighting up the dark tent like a bright incandescent lamp.

The three of them looked at the blonde Sarkaz girl who slowly opened her eyes on the bed, and they all fell silent at the same time.

She was thin, and her long golden hair, which should have been shiny, now looked withered. She was wearing a simple gray and white dress. The small part of her arms that were exposed were full of needle holes left by the syringes, and her wrists and ankles were bruised.

——Those are the marks of being bound by heavy shackles for many years.

And her eyes.

Those were a pair of lifeless green eyes filled with numbness and dead silence.

Mostima stopped smiling and whispered, "These beasts...!"

Both Shining and Viego knew that she was talking about the actions of the Absolutioner Organization.

"...I agree." Shining responded in a low voice, walked forward, and swung his sword to cut off the shackles and fetters on the girl.

But the girl just lay on the bed, unresponsive, just staring at Shining and slightly raising her palm.

"..."

On the way here, Shining said that the reason why this girl was imprisoned by the Pardoner was as a medical tool.

——Because her Originium skills can heal other people's injuries through touch and share some of their pain with herself. The effect is surprisingly good, and even broken limbs can be healed.

But...she herself will also suffer severe pain as a result.

Shining lowered his eyes to look at the girl, trying his best to suppress the anger and disgust he felt towards the Absolutioner Organization, and asked softly, "What's your name?"

A dim gray light shone from Shining's fingertips. She raised her hand and gently brushed the girl's arms and body, using her Originium skills to relieve her pain.

"......" The girl looked at Shining, silent for a long time, and finally spoke slowly: "......Li, Zi."

It seemed that Shining's questioning words and the warm Originium skills finally pulled her out of her closed inner world a little.

"Liz... ? I see." Shining murmured, carefully picking up Liz by the waist. "Well, Liz, I'll take you out of here next, okay?"

"..." Liz was silent, but her eyes shifted to Viego and Mostima beside her.

——To be more precise, she looked at Viego.

"The black fog... hurts." Her tone was calm, and there was no fear in her eyes. She seemed to be simply stating the facts.

Viego raised an eyebrow.

I can actually sense that I am connected to the black fog...

Shining said that she could share the pain of the wounded during the treatment process. It seems that it was the Pardoner whose hand was cut off before who healed her injuries, so that Liz knew about the existence of the black fog.

It seems that Liz's ability is even more powerful than he imagined. No wonder the Pardoner "values" her so much - if conducting various experiments on her can be called "valuing".

The Pardoner...

Damn, they are really like a group of rising eastern dawn and evening sun.

I get angry just thinking about it.

You guys, better not get caught by me, otherwise...

But I don’t have as much juice as you guys!

Viego has always been considered an emotionally stable person.

Even when W forcefully kissed him in front of Isolde, he was only surprised for a brief moment.

But this time, facing the actions of the Absolutioner Organization...

He was really angry.

Because he remembered a certain period of history of his country in his previous life.

The behavior of the Pardoner is even more despicable.

——They are not invaders.

They simply turned their knives against their own compatriots, the people of their own country.

This was the first time that Viego had the urge to destroy an organization.

It was hard to be happy about what happened to Liz, and the four of them returned to the SUV in silence.

Viego re-lit the bonfire, and Mostima took Liz back to the SUV to rest.

——The angel girl was very perceptive. She saw that Shining had been worried since he opened the tent curtain.

So, she took the initiative to carry the disabled Lizzie back to the car, leaving the space outside the car for Shining and Viego.

Because in this situation, only the king she is loyal to can allow her to speak out what is in her heart.

And her presence in the car would also make Liz feel more at ease, because she was Sakta, not the Sarkaz who committed atrocities against Liz, and...

She also had a glowing halo on her head.

In this case, falling asleep in a bright environment is always more reassuring.

Angel girl, warms people's hearts.
