Ark, they don't revolve around you

So this is more like Zhuang Ning's execution of the King of Scavengers.

At least that's the case in the eyes of the Archangel Arturo, who was moved and played another sad melody.

The King of Scavengers felt like he was in a quagmire. Every step he took was extremely difficult, and Zhuang Ning seemed like an insurmountable obstacle for him.

Zhuang Ning's eyes were cold and without mercy. On the contrary, he threw out bloody guns, carrying the purest murderous intent.

The blood spear tore open the bandages of the Scavenger King, revealing the skin that had long been rotten. The body that was once as great as steel decayed like a mummy!

People are the same as trees. The more they yearn for the sunlight above, the deeper their roots will grow.

The Scavenger King is not a brutal lord of the royal court. He and the Blood Demon Lord pursue the same dream, and Kazdel is his sun.

So the King of Scavengers buried himself in the ground, willing to become a root that absorbs nutrients and stays in the darkness.

Although they were enemies, Zhuang Ning still respected him.

Indeed, like the Blood Demon Lord, the Scavenger King is also arrogant, stupid, and powerful.

But the Blood Demon Lord always seems like a unreasonable child, while the Scavenger King has seen too much and only has this obsession.

Mocking justice.

Mocking life.

What we pursue is only revival, and for this, nothing else matters!

Even as it is now, surrounded by a tide of blood, and knowing that sinking would be liberation, the King of Scavengers is still roaring and moving forward!

Zhuang Ning stretched out his hand and waved it continuously as if he was holding a baton.

The blade formed by blood pierced the body that the King of Scavengers was so proud of bit by bit.

There was sadness in his eyes.

The saying that roots go deep into darkness is true. Just like you, I must also dig my roots into the deepest darkness.

Everything is for the pursuit of the ray of light above our heads!

The scavenger king fell down in a pool of blood.

His death once again was peaceful, as if he had sunk into deep darkness, with every cell in his body dissolved by the blood.

Zhuang Ning walked closer and closed the eyelids of the decadent old man.

After hesitating for a moment, he ultimately did not brush past his bloodline.

The power of the Sarkaz comes from blood. Zhuang Ning let go of the withered power and just cut off a piece of his skin and kept it in the box in his hand.

The river of blood dissipated, and he thought it was time to leave, as there was no longer any threat here.

But as I walked, I suddenly sensed a familiar scent.

——That is the aura of the Pardoner.

Zhuang Ning suddenly guessed why the King of Scavengers had revived, and he covered his head and couldn't help laughing.

A huge flame suddenly burned on the body of the Scavenger King, burning him to ashes.

In the end, Zhuang Ning did not go to see the body and left quietly.

Before leaving, he couldn't help but say with a hint of nostalgia: "So it's you, Salus."

……

……

A busy alley.

In the shadows, Salus slightly opened the blinds, and a ray of light fell and hit her eyes.

The light was too strong, and Salus quickly closed the blinds.

She has been hiding here for nearly a year, watching the increasing number of Sarkaz, and the loneliness in her heart has become even stronger.

Salus could only wait, hoping that his leader would return soon.

Salus considered himself the final pardoner.

Before Theresa, the Pardoner wrapped himself up as the devil's servant and served the king faithfully.

But the ambitions of the Absolvers do not stop there. They yearn for the crown and want to possess that power forever.

Salus is the most talented pardoner besides the leader and Shining. He has had an extraordinary perception of the pardoner's spells since he was a child.

Later, Salus was noticed by her leader and chosen to become a member of the leader's family. She has always been proud of this identity.

Thinking of this, Salus's expression twisted slightly, revealing an abnormal hatred.

She looked at herself in the mirror with messy hair and couldn't help pinching her arm with her fingers.

It shouldn't be like this.

It shouldn't have been like this. It was all because of that doctor, that man—

Salus almost choked and closed his eyes.

I recalled that at the end of the Battle of Londinium, the Pardoners were almost all wiped out, and the Doctor stood indifferently before the throne.

Salus' teeth chattered, anger rising suddenly.

She knew that the Doctor had returned to Kazdel.

Unlike other regions, Zhuang Ning was too famous in Kazdel. Although he had mixed reputations, he was extremely well-known. Moreover, Zhuang Ning did not hide the fact that he had returned to Kazdel.

opportunity.

Use the spell left to you by the last boss to awaken the Scavenger King.

If possible, let the King of Scavengers tear the doctor to pieces as a tribute to the leader!

No.

It's not a memorial service. Salus is determined that the leader is still alive. How could that great man and her family die...

He must be out there somewhere, needing help.

Salus only relied on this obsession to hold on, like a ferocious evil ghost.

She wants to revive the Pardoner!

But her dream of rejuvenation did not last long, as there was a knock on the door of the room, and Salus's eyes suddenly became alert.

With the ability of a pardoner, it is not difficult to hide herself, but she still remains vigilant.

Waking up the Scavenger was the biggest noise she'd made, but she'd already erased all traces of herself, so it was theoretically impossible for anyone to find him.

Salus did not dare to be careless. He walked towards the door silently, holding the staff silently in his hand.

Through the peephole, she saw the sheriff in charge of the area, with an impatient look on his face.

Sheriff?

Salus opened the door, and the man opposite handed over a notice impatiently: "There are rumors that the Absolution Master is hiding here, ma'am, be careful."

Salus nodded and cast the spell.

This is her caution. The spells of the Absolver target life, and life is closely connected with memory. Spells targeting memory are also the Absolver's forte.

So far, Salus has blurred the memory of everyone who has come into contact with her, which is why she dares to hide in the downtown area without fear of being discovered.

The sheriff tilted his head, and suddenly seemed to have forgotten something.

When he came to his senses, the door was already closed. The sheriff didn't care any more and turned to go to the next house.

Salus lowered her head and looked at the wanted poster in her hand. She knew she had been discovered again and had to find another place to hide...

Just as he was thinking this, a stone hit Salus on the head.

The stone was thrown without much force, as if it were a joke.

Salus looked up reflexively and pointed the staff in her hand. She didn't actually see clearly who the person was, she just cast the spell out of fear.

The crude spell had no effect and the collapse turned into smoke. More than a year of hiding had made Salus experienced. He didn't mind it and wanted to escape as soon as he opened the door.

There are a lot of people in the downtown area. Even if the pursuers catch up with her, she can take everyone in the downtown area as her hostages!

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."
