Chapter 1064 (2/2)
”How could it be... Like this...”
In a gloomy state of mind, the lost eagle king murmured in a low voice.
”Clang!”
As soon as the palm was loosened, the long knife fell to the ground.
The silent black haired wizard slowly got up and waved away the thin fog around him.
”Why, tell me exactly why...” the eagle king who stared at Loren raised his head hard, and his body swallowed by the black line trembled:
”Why... You are a mere stranger, who has only come to this world for a few years...”
”How many times have you experienced life and death, how many painful struggles, what difficult choices you have made, how many close relatives and friends you have sacrificed, and how much you have paid again and again...”
”And I... the eagle king of the Azores... I struggled hard, fought against the void almost all my life, paid all the price I could pay for the survival of the elves, and even gambled with my own soul and body...”
”Why... Are you the one who won the future... And those imperial people who grovel before the Holy Cross?!”
”Why! I will be the abandoned one of you and me!”
”Why! The Azores who inherited more heritage from the ancient dragon kingdom will be the abandoned one!”
”It's not fair! It's not fair!”
The eagle king, panting desperately and restraining his trembling body, roared with grief and anger.
The dark haired wizard looked at him with a complicated expression.
When the purple lightning fell, it was not himself who blocked the thunder, but the black fog in his mind... At the critical moment, he stopped the last blow of the eagle king for himself.
Although Loren was ready to dodge at that moment, it showed one thing - the four evil gods who supported the eagle king chose to abandon him at the last minute.
Loren had no evidence, but he had a faint feeling that it might have something to do with some blonde boy.
”Ah, ah, ah --!!!”
At the moment when the atmosphere fell into silence, the trembling eagle king suddenly began to howl hysterically.
Huh?!
The suddenly awakened black haired wizard looked up. The twitching eagle king had knelt on the ground, his face twisted and turned the howl into a scream, as if he was tearing his flesh and viscera.
Wait, flesh and viscera
Loren was vaguely aware of something, and his suddenly constricted pupils focused on the eagle king's stiff and twisted face; I saw those fine ”black lines” shrinking constantly; And every time they shrink once, they will leave a blood mark on the eagle king's body.
Cheeks, jaw, tip of nose, neck
Auricles, lips, mouth, nostrils, eyes
”Ah, ah, ah --!!!”
Hoarse and full of broken voices, it seems too pale to describe it with ”scream” - in less than a minute, the eagle king in front has completely become a ”blood man”!
The body trembled violently, and the wailing sound became more and more hoarse and shrill; In the end, the rest can't distinguish the tone and voice, as if it was just the resonance of the chest.
Those ”black lines” are still mercilessly twitching, depriving him of the power of emptiness that does not belong to him, and converging into the four evil god marks on his chest, neck and arm.
”Zi...”
The four marks seemed to dissipate from the eagle king like a hot iron, leaving only the ugly scar and the skin crumpled into a mass of rotten meat.
The power belonging to the evil god completely dissipated from the eagle king's body without a trace and was completely deprived.
The bloody eagle king finally stopped trembling and just knelt there motionless.
The dark haired wizard, who seemed to suddenly think of something, picked up the ”dawn” sword thrown away by himself from one side, stood in front of him with the sword and waited quietly without saying a word.
Five minutes later, the eagle king finally opened his eyes slowly.
”I lost...”
Deep sigh, I can't feel a trace of resentment, but a kind of relaxed relief.
He slowly raised his head. His calm eyes were like a clear spring. There was no reluctance and tyranny. He just looked at it calmly and defeated his opponent.
”Congratulations, Lord Loren Turin. Although I don't know how you made the four evil gods abandon me, and how you opened the second valve and had the power to surpass me, but...”
”To win is to win; in this duel, you are the final winner; the power of future and choice belongs to you.”
”I, the Lord of Azores... Admit defeat in gambling!”
With a long sigh of relief, the eagle king knelt down.
The black haired wizard took a deep breath and met the eagle king's eyes: ”you know... What I want is not just that you admit defeat.”
”What you want is to take me as a prisoner and force the army of Azores to surrender to you... Right?” the eagle king said quietly with a smile: ”I'm sorry, I can't do this - the incompetent eagle king lost my throne at the moment of my failure and is no longer their commander-in-chief.”
”Even if you hang me on the wall, only the warriors' bows and arrows and long knives will answer you; you can't force the elves to bend their knees by 'persuading them to surrender', let alone your Lord and the emperor of the Empire.”
”He won't be willing to kill the last elf... Right?”
Loren was silent.
Nevertheless, he did not think there was anything wrong - you started the war, you took the lead in killing, and you wantonly invaded.
In that case, why can't the Empire ”repay” you invaders by equal harm, even one life for one life?
”So I'm sorry, for this hard won victory, all you can get is my head.” the eagle king smiled: ”of course, the price is also very heavy.”
”The four evil gods told me that although the black cross serliol was exiled, it was far from the degree of strength damage - you opened the second valve and liberated your vision; such a huge void force was suddenly born, which was enough to open the way for him to enter the world!”
”You defeated a strong enemy, but you have to face a stronger one... Is it worth it?”
Is it worth it... If he asked before, Loren might be speechless, but now
”Worth it.”
Looking at his ”smiling” expression, the black haired wizard said coldly: ”for me, whether you or the” black cross ”serliol, if any of you win, you will completely erase my existence from the world;”
”For me, you are no different. You are all the enemies of my 'existence'.”
”So... What's not worth it?”
