Chapter 1: Reincarnation in a Different World, Awakening Simulator!
A different world of sword and magic.
In the magical continent, the Dukedom of Lion in the east of the Alpha Empire!
At this time, in the territory’s capital, the Lion City, the tall and luxurious Duke’s Castle was located.
At this time in the castle, in a top-notch luxurious room, maids and servants were constantly coming in and out, looking tense and busy.
Outside the room, a middle-aged man with a dignified face, long light golden hair and light golden pupils was anxiously waiting for something.
Soon, with the sound of a baby crying, the majestic middle-aged man couldn’t help but reveal a relaxed smile.
“Congratulations, Your Excellency the Duke. It’s a healthy baby boy!”
The church’s midwifery nun wiped the baby boy clean and carefully brought him to the Lion Duke.
Seeing his son, even the powerful Duke of Lion could not help but smile amiably.
“Haha, good, you all get rewards.
Today, all the soldiers and servants in the castle will be rewarded handsomely! Haha!”
The Lion Duke was also truly happy at this time.
…………
At this time, the baby in the cradle is vaguely aware of the world around him.
“Huh? Why do I seem to have turned into a baby?!
Moreover, why is it that I can’t understand what the people in this world are saying?
Where on earth did this great fortune come from? !”
Li Annan was a newly graduated 996 worker on Blue Planet.
Just because I got off work too late, I got hit by a car while walking on the street, and ended up being taken to another world.
And from the looks of it, this wasn’t the other world he was familiar with.
This made him feel a little unsure.
Just then, a voice sounded in his mind.
“Ding! The host’s identity as a time traveler has been detected, awakening simulator!
The number of simulated characters that can be bound is currently 0! Please bind as soon as possible!”
“Huh? This is my cheat code?! I awakened my cheat code right at the beginning.
But now I may not be able to use it!
And this simulator must be bound to a simulated character.
Could it be that there are other travelers here?”
But thinking about this now, it seems a bit too much.
Of course, we should make the best of it since we can’t go back now anyway.
Thinking of this, he felt tired. Newborn babies are particularly sleepy, so Li Annan fell asleep directly.
…
Three months later.
Anderman Alcaros, also known as the Duke of the Lion,
He brought his only son, Annan Alcaros, to the largest church in the capital to prepare for Annan’s baptism.
The sacred light fell on Annan, bringing a sense of pure holiness.
At this moment, Annan was asleep and suddenly felt that he had a dream.
In the dream, light and darkness are constantly intertwined and entangled.
In the end, darkness won, tore the light apart, transformed into the devil, and ruled the world!
“Buzz!”
As the baptism ended, the endless light dissipated, and the presiding church priest was slightly startled.
“My Lord Duke, it seems that the young prince has a strong family bloodline in his body, and his talent will definitely be great in the future!”
Hearing the priest’s words, the Lion Duke was happy in his heart, but he still maintained his dignity on his face.
“Well, now that the baptism is over, I won’t bother the priest anymore!”
Then the Lion Duke took everyone away.
Soon, time passed and it was six years later.
At this time, Annan had grown into a little boy.
He inherited his father’s golden hair, handsome face, and light golden pupils that represent the power of a lion.
Inside the huge library of the Duke’s Castle.
Annan comes here almost every once in a while to learn various knowledge.
And now Annan has also understood a lot of knowledge about this world.
First of all, this is a different world of swords and magic.
Unlike the familiar anime worlds in previous lives, this world is a completely strange and alien world.
Now this continent, called the Magic Continent, is extremely vast, with various mountains, deserts, lakes, rivers, and many mountain ranges, as well as many human countries.
Based on strength, the strongest are empires, followed by kingdoms, and finally duchies.
The continent also gave birth to countless different races.
In addition to the dominant human race, there are also powerful elves, dragons, orcs, sea creatures, etc.
There are also fox tribes and snake tribes of average strength.
There are also the lowest level ogres, goblins, slimes, etc.
The combat professions in this world are mainly divided into two types, warriors who use fighting spirit and mages who use magic.
The levels from low to high are
Apprentice, beginner, intermediate, advanced, master, grandmaster, legend (high-level legend), saint, demigod!
And Annan’s father, the most powerful duke in the Alpha Empire, the Duke of Lion, is a powerful swordsman!
When Annan first learned about his prominent identity, he was excited.
I can finally say goodbye to the hard life of cattle and horses in my previous life.
Now it’s finally my turn to enjoy!
Whatever white silk nun, cat girl, rabbit girl, or saint with a surging heart, this prince will have to enjoy them all in the future!
“But I still don’t understand what the simulator should be bound to before it can start simulating?!
Is it a person or an object? !
However, I have been in the Duke’s Castle since I was a child, whether I was learning magic, swordsmanship, or knowledge,
They are all taught by private teachers.
There is no chance to go out and look for the right person or thing!”
Recently, Annan has been trying to figure out how to use this golden finger.
Thinking of this, he felt somewhat helpless.
Sometimes, because one’s status is too noble, it becomes inconvenient to do things!
But he is still young and has his father’s protection, so he is not anxious at all.
Now all we have to do is steadily improve our strength.
But as the legitimate son of the Duke of Lion, Annan has some talent in swordsmanship, but his knowledge of magic is just average.
It seems that if you want to practice both magic and martial arts, you still have to rely on the golden finger!

Time passed again, and soon it was time for Annan’s 18th birthday ceremony.
At this time, Annan had grown into a handsome young man with a tall and slender figure, and an unruly and frivolous smile in his light golden pupils.
In the castle study.
Annan and his father, the Duke of Lion, were sitting opposite each other.
“Annan, tomorrow is your 18th birthday ceremony!
I plan to send you to the Imperial Capital Sword and Magic Academy to receive more comprehensive training!”
The Lion Duke took a sip of black coffee, looked at Annan in front of him, and said with a slightly serious expression.
“Ah? Go to Imperial Capital College?! Dad, are you asking me to go there to study? Or are you asking me to be a proton?”
Over the years, with Annan’s status and position, he has been exposed to a lot of information about the relationship between the Duke of Lion and the imperial royal family.
The current Alpha Empire has a total of twelve provinces, and the royal family occupies three provinces.
The Duke of Lion occupied two provinces, and later opened up a new province, making three provinces in total.
There were two other dukes, each occupying a province.
The rest was divided among some marquises, earls, viscounts, barons, knights, etc.
Therefore, this also leads to the fact that the current Duke of Lion has power and strength no less than the royal family.
This also led to the spread of many rumors that the Duke of Lion would become the new leader of the empire!
After all, these countries, similar to those in the Middle Ages in the previous life, are basically shareholder partnerships, and whoever is the major shareholder will be the boss.
At this critical juncture, his father asked him to go to the Imperial Capital College, and he really couldn’t think of it as good news.
“You are my own son. Can I push you into the fire?”
Hearing his son’s complaints, the Lion Duke was somewhat helpless.
He opened a special magic contract scroll on the desk and handed it to Annan.
“Look, your father has found you a big backer in the imperial capital! He will make sure nothing goes wrong with you!
And this time, you are also going there with a mission, so go and get more exposure!
After all, feelings should be cultivated from childhood!”
“Hmm? What?”
Annan became more and more confused the more he listened. What did it mean to have more contact? Feelings should be cultivated from childhood!
But when Annan took the special magic contract scroll, everything became clear.
This is actually a marriage contract!
The man was none other than Annan, the only son of the Duke of Lion, and the woman was Altria, the eldest daughter of the royal family of the Alpha Empire!
Huh? Wait, who is this?
Altria?!
Is this the King of Silence that I imagined?
Thinking of this, Annan also understood something.
Perhaps the character that the golden finger wants to simulate and bind is this Altria!
“Father, is there a portrait? I want to see the portrait of my fiancée!”
Annan suppressed his excitement and asked as if nothing had happened.
“Portrait? I don’t have that. You will see it when you arrive in the imperial capital!
And you don’t have to worry, the royal family has good genes. I’ve never heard of any ugly princess!
Besides, this engagement was decided by me and that old guy together, so you should be mentally prepared to accept it!”
The Duke of Lion thought his son was worried that his fiancée was too ugly, so he patiently comforted him.
When Annan heard that there was no portrait, he felt a little disappointed.
But he always felt that this was most likely the King of Auburn.
After all, if I can travel through time, then Altria can also travel through time and be reincarnated!
I just wonder if they also have memories of their past lives? !
“It seems that this is the real use of the simulator!”
Annan thought to himself.
“But father, the emperor married his eldest daughter to me. Isn’t he afraid that this empire will be named Alcarus sooner or later?”
“This eldest daughter of the Emperor is a concubine’s daughter and has no right of inheritance. Forget about it!”
The Lion Duke rolled his eyes at his son, meaning, do you really think that old guy is stupid?
Hearing this, Annan didn’t think so.
Who says that illegitimate children have no right of inheritance? Isn’t it enough as long as all the legitimate descendants are dead?
Of course, Annan still doesn’t know what deal his father has reached with the old king.
So he didn’t say much about these things.
“Oh, I see! Then when do we leave? I’ll go get ready now!”
Annan stood up. With a height of about 1.8 meters and a handsome face, he was indeed charming.
“We’ll set off tomorrow. I’ve arranged everything for you! Just be careful on the road!
I will send a legendary warrior to protect you!”
After hearing his father’s arrangement, Annan nodded in approval.
In this era when demigods are in seclusion and saints do not appear, legendary strongmen are already top strongmen.
Compared with some small principalities, they are unique and can destroy a city with all their strength!
A legendary strong man, plus the deterrent power of the Lion Duke.
Apart from the emperor, Annan could be said to be able to walk sideways in the entire imperial capital.
Even the royal heir dare not disrespect Annan!
After all, no force really wants to engage in an all-out war with the Lion Duke, who is famous for his military prowess!
Feilu novel, Fei will make you look good!
Chapter 3: Sword and Magic Academy—Akagome and Huihui! (Old version)
Soon, it was the next morning.
Annan, who was fully prepared, took his many guards and rode in a luxurious four-horse carriage towards the imperial capital.
The road was sunny and shaded by green trees.
This made Annan feel much better.
This time, the guard lineup that the Lion Duke arranged for Annan was also extremely powerful.
A powerful lineup consisting of a high-level legendary warrior, two grandmaster magicians, four master warriors, and dozens of high-level warrior mages.
Such a powerful lineup is more than enough to destroy some viscount families.
The journey is long, crossing three provinces from the Dukedom of Lion to the Imperial City.
With the current development power, which is similar to that of the Middle Ages in the previous life, it will take at least two or three months.
Although the Duke of Lion also has a flying monster mount, Annan still decided to ride in a carriage.
It’s just because I have been in this different world for eighteen years, but I haven’t really taken a good look at this world.
After all, this is a different world! It feels pretty much the same as what was described in the anime in my previous life!
You must go and look around more to see if you can meet the Elf Princess in distress, the Bunny Sisters, the White Silk Sister, and so on!
After all, time travelers are the protagonists, so their luck must be good!
In this way, with a curious mood, Annan walked and stopped along the way to look around.
Unconsciously, more than half a month has passed.
On this day, on the outskirts of the Warcraft Mountains.
Annan and his guards also came to this huge mountain range that spans the entire continent.
This is also the only way to get to the imperial capital.
Standing on the outskirts of the vast and boundless Warcraft Mountains that reach into the clouds.
Annan was also shocked. It was indeed a supernatural world. There were such huge mountains!
“Prince, the Warcraft Mountains are ahead.
Although we only walked the outer periphery, in the Warcraft Mountains,
There are many high-level monsters, even legendary or holy monsters.
So we better be careful!”
At this time, a muscular, tall middle-aged man with brown curly hair and a two-handed heavy sword on his back walked up to Annan and said respectfully.
“Don’t worry! Mr. Victor, I’m not arrogant enough to challenge the entire Monster Mountain Range!”
Annan looked at the high-level legendary warrior named Victor beside him and said with a smile on his face.
“That’s good, Prince, it’s time for us to set off!”
“Well, let’s go! Be careful!”
Annan gave the order, and then the carriage slowly moved towards the outskirts of the Monster Mountain Range.
At this time, on the other side.
Located in a hidden location in the Warcraft Mountains.
Several girls were using special observation magic to observe Annan and his group’s every move.
“Xiaotong, is that the only son of the Lion Duke – Annan?”
At this time, a Pingru girl holding a magic wand, wearing a black cloak and a black witch’s pointed hat, spoke to the person next to her.
“Yes, it should be him!”
The girl next to him replied in a somewhat cold tone.
The girl is tall, with long straight black hair, and a delicate face with a hint of heroism, but her temperament is a little cold, making her seem like a cold and beautiful girl.
And these two are none other than the genius girls Akagi, from the Sword Academy of the Imperial Capital Academy of Sword and Magic.
The explosive girl in the magic academy – Huihui!
Chapter 4:
The two girls are also known as the twin genius girls of the Imperial Capital Sword and Magic Academy.
However, Huihui’s genius is in quotation marks. After all, after studying for so many years, she only knows one explosion magic!
Behind them, there are several girls, one of whom is a cat girl with a bold personality and long, wavy golden hair – Leone!
One is Chelsea, a beautiful girl with long hair, eating a candy lollipop, wearing a British-style uniform and headphones.
One is a girl with purple hair and glasses who looks a bit silly – Xier.
There is also a loli girl with long pink hair, twin ponytails, pink eyes, and a light pink dress – Main!
If Annan were here, he would definitely recognize that these girls are all characters from “Akame ga Kill”, as well as the magical girl Megumin!
“Shall we start now?”
Huihui said this, and her little hand holding the magic wand also looked eager to try.
“No, observe again, he has a high-level legendary warrior and two master-level magicians beside him.
Rushing forward rashly might ruin the mission!”
Compared to the naive girl next to her who can only cast explosion magic, Akame seems to be more thoughtful.
In fact, if it weren’t for the special nature of this mission and the lack of manpower, plus Huihui is her good friend, the power of the explosion magic is indeed strong enough.
Otherwise, Akahime wouldn’t have wanted to bring Huihui to carry out this special mission.
“Ah? A high-level legendary warrior?! Can you beat Xiaotong?”
Huihui looked at the cold and beautiful girl next to her and couldn’t help but feel a little worried.
After all, both Chi Tong and she are only at the grandmaster level.
The other women are only at the master level.
“Don’t worry! With Akame’s strength, fighting against opponents of higher levels is a routine operation!”
The older sister Leone next to her straightened her wavy body, patted Huihui’s shoulder and said.
Looking at the big sister’s turbulent breasts and then looking at her own flat breasts, poor middle school student Huihui couldn’t help but swallow!
“It’s better to be careful. After all, Annan is the only son of the Duke of Lion. It’s impossible for him not to have any trump cards in his hand.”
The steady girl with glasses, Xier, also kindly gave a reminder.
Although they are all geniuses and can fight across levels,
But high-level legends are one level higher than ordinary legends.
For this reason, she couldn’t help but worry about Chi Tong.
“It doesn’t matter, our mission this time is just to take Annan away, not to kill him!
Just create chaos and take him away!”
Maine held the pumpkin gun in her hand, looked at the carriage in the distance, and said casually.
“How about I use the beauty trap first and capture Annan directly, so we don’t have to take risks!”
Chelsea opened her foundation box and jokingly said as she put on her makeup.
“Forget it! He is the Duke’s only son and will inherit the entire Dukedom of Lion in the future.
Your beauty may not work!”
Main looked at Chelsea and shook her head.
“That’s not necessarily true. Maybe the prince likes my type?”
Chelsea joked as she put on her makeup.
Then Akame looked at Huihui next to her and said with some concern.
“When you cast the explosion magic later, be careful to avoid Annan.
If he gets seriously injured or dies here, all our plans will be ruined!
The situation in the imperial capital is already chaotic enough.
If Annan died here, I’m afraid the entire empire would have to bear the wrath of the Lion Duke!
By then, it will be a true total war! The entire empire will fall apart!
We do all this to stabilize the situation, not to destroy the current situation!”
Hearing Akahime’s solemn words, Huihui couldn’t help but become serious.
She patted her chest and spoke to Chi Tong with a serious face.
“Don’t worry! Xiaotong, I will aim well this time!”
“I hope so!”
Chi Tong suddenly felt that maybe he shouldn’t bring this guy out on this mission!
Shaking her head, Akahime once again joined Huihui and the other girls in observing Annan and his group.

Chapter 4: Intercept! Fight! (Old Version)
At this time, on the other side of the Warcraft Mountains.
In an abandoned Warcraft cave, a powerful concealing magic circle completely conceals all traces of the cave.
In the dark cave, a night-shining pearl emitting a faint blue light illuminates a part of the area.
A group of mysterious people wearing special costumes and black hoods gathered here.
“Here they come!”
The leader was a mysterious man in black, as tall and strong as a mountain, with two huge axes on his back.
“That must be them! It looks like the prey has come! I wonder if my lovely sister will come too?”
A slightly petite figure wearing a black robe next to him laughed.
“Saint, it’s time to take action!”
Another leader, who was short in stature and had a hideous scar on his head, spoke respectfully to the slightly petite girl next to him.
The black-robed girl looked at the direction of Annan and others’ movement in the crystal ball and immediately gave orders.
“Remember, this time our mission is to kill Annan and create a conflict between the Lion Duke and the Imperial Family. Only then will our mission be accomplished!”
“yes!”
The others also took the order and started to move towards Annan and others.
At this time, Annan and his group were still moving towards the outskirts of the Warcraft Mountains.
At this moment, the high-level legendary warrior Victor seemed to have sensed some special premonition.
The convoy was immediately stopped.
“Everyone stop and get ready for battle!”
As the strongest member of the team, Victor immediately gave the order.
“Sir, this place may be dangerous. If a fight breaks out, you should stay in the carriage and don’t move.”
Victor’s eyes were focused and his expression became serious.
He looked around, and based on his premonition as a high-level warrior and his observation of the surrounding environment, he was sure that there were ambushes around.
As for those who dared to ambush the Duke of Lion’s convoy, they must not be ordinary robbers or aliens.
“Hmm? Mr. Victor, is there anyone else targeting us?”
When Annan heard what Victor said, he also looked a little serious.
“It’s not clear yet, but the exploration team we sent out hasn’t returned yet after the time limit has passed.
Although this place is outside the Monster Mountain Range, there are many low-level monsters living here.
But we didn’t see any low-level monsters in the place we just passed.
This shows that there are other more powerful forces here, making those low-level monsters dare not approach! “
Annan frowned when he heard Victor’s analysis.
He really couldn’t understand who would dare to risk angering the wrath of the Lion Duke and assassinate him!
Just at this moment.
Swish!
A huge fireball shot towards Annan’s carriage.
“Enemy attack! Protect the prince!”
boom!
The huge fireball slammed into the magic shield cast by a grandmaster magician, creating a small storm.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Soon, dozens of black figures jumped out from between the tall trees.
Among them are many high-level warriors and high-level magicians.
With the appearance of these mysterious people, the battlefield instantly entered chaos mode.
Akahime and Huihui, who were far away, also rushed here after hearing the noise of the battle breaking out here.
“It seems like there was a battle there?! Is there anyone else besides us?”
Huihui looked at the exploding fireballs, sharp wind blades, dazzling lightning, etc. in the distance, and said with surprise.
“Never mind, let’s go check it out first. Annan must be safe. I just don’t know if these people are here to kidnap him or to kill him!”
Chi Tong looked a little solemn. Now with another group of people, the situation was becoming more and more chaotic.
“It seems that these people want to kill Annan. We can take this opportunity to take Annan away!”
When they got closer to the battlefield, Akagi and the others discovered the purpose of the mysterious man in black.
This is definitely a good time for them.
Otherwise, they might suffer heavy losses just by facing a high-level legendary warrior.
But now that someone is helping them to contain the strongest fighting force, their success rate will be greatly improved.
“If you dare to intercept the Lion Duke’s convoy, no matter who you are, you must be prepared to pay the price in blood!”
Victor held a huge two-handed heavy sword in his hand, and terrifying aura burst out from his body instantly.
The powerful high-level legendary strength was fully unleashed, and the ground within a thousand meters around it was directly cracked inch by inch!
“What?! High-level Legend?!”
The two mysterious leaders who saw this scene were also shocked and incredulous.
The black-robed girl next to her, who was called the Saint, also showed a look of shock, and her beautiful brows were slightly wrinkled.
High-level legends are one level higher than them, and are the top powerhouses closest to the Saint level.
The Lion Duke is really generous enough to arrange such a top master to be around his son.
“The intelligence is wrong. The other party is a high-level legend.
But now the arrow has been shot and we have no way out!
If you fail to complete the mission, going back will lead to death!
You and I will hold him back together, while the others will take the opportunity to move in, kill Annan and then retreat immediately!”
In just a short moment, the two mysterious leaders exchanged glances quickly, and after confirming the action plan, they gritted their teeth and went straight to meet Victor.
And the saint went straight to Annan’s carriage.
Be prepared to resolve the battle directly and then withdraw quickly.
The battlefield was also in chaos at this time. Annan’s guards and the group of mysterious people fought directly together.
As the battle began, the defensive magic circle on Annan’s carriage was also activated.
A huge pale golden defensive light shield enveloped the entire carriage.
No matter how fierce the battle outside was, it could not harm Annan in the carriage.
………………
Chapter 5: Simulator-bound character – Red Eye! (Old version)
boom–!!
The battle continues.
The earth trembles!
Victor roared and slammed his two-handed heavy sword into the ground.
The gravel within a radius of one kilometer flew into the air and turned into thousands of sharp arrows under the influence of the legendary aura.
The fighting spirit shields of the two assassin leaders were instantly covered with spider web cracks, and blood oozed out from under the black scarves.
A look of determination flashed in the short leader’s eyes, and he bit his tongue and spurted out blood.
Dark red lines spread along the battle axe, and the axe blade suddenly expanded three times in size. It was actually a violent fighting method that burned life.
Boom! The blood-red axe shadow split the gravel storm, and when Victor blocked it with his sword,
The rock beneath his feet suddenly collapsed – the heavy axe of another strong leader had broken out from the ground.
The two sides engaged in a fierce battle.
The other side.
On the carriage a hundred meters away, ripples suddenly appeared on the light golden barrier.
The figure of the girl in black robe appeared beside the carriage, and a long sword, carrying a curse, stabbed directly at the golden protective shield.
clang–!
At this moment, Chi Tong’s figure emerged from the shadows of the trees like a ghost, and the magic sword Yucun in his hand drew a dark blue trajectory.
Directly block the long sword and prevent it from advancing even an inch.
Seeing the person coming, the girl in black robe was stunned for a moment, then smiled with a hint of ridicule.
“My dearest sister! You finally came!”
“Hei Tong, don’t do anything stupid. If you turn back now, I can still plead for my mother.”
Akame looked at the sister who had become a stranger in front of her and spoke with regret and heartache in her tone.
“Look back, why should I look back? Everything I want will be taken by myself!”
Hei Tong snorted coldly and slashed towards Chi Tong with the sword in his hand.
Right now! Chi Tong knocked Hei Tong’s sword away with one sword, and her cold voice pierced through the hustle and bustle of the battlefield.
Explosion!
Megumin’s chant finally finished.
A scarlet ball of light with a diameter of thirty meters landed precisely on the top of the barrier, and the magic patterns disintegrated layer by layer in the explosion.
The tip of Chi Tong’s sword pierced into the last light film, and the thirteen sealing rings on the sword body lit up one by one.
Spider-web-like cracks instantly spread across the entire protective shield.
Bang!
At the moment the defensive barrier exploded, Annan saw a flash of icy blue sword light outside the car curtain.
The powerful attack scroll that he was about to crush also stopped.
Because he saw Akame’s face and figure.
The appearance of the girl in front of him was exactly the same as the Akagi in his memory!
At this time, his golden finger spoke again after a long absence.
“Bindable character simulation detected, currently bindable character – Akagi!”
In the moment of Annan’s surprise and hesitation.
Chi Tong’s black hair flew in the turbulence of magic. She formed a seal with her left hand and unfolded a space scroll, while the tip of the sword in her right hand was against Annan’s throat.
A transfer array suddenly appeared on the chassis of the carriage – this group of girls actually secretly arranged a space anchor point at the beginning of the battle!
Don’t move. Chi Tong’s voice was colder than the sword’s edge, but he noticed that An Nan’s mouth curled up in a playful arc.
“Sure enough, this is the correct way to use the simulator!”
As Annan thought so in his heart.
The surrounding space began to change under the influence of the space magic scroll.
The entire carriage, including the women on it, also began to teleport.
No…Master——!
Victor saw this scene from a distance.
His face showed fear and shock.
His roar shook the entire forest.
The high-level legendary fighting spirit exploded, condensing into a roaring golden lion shadow behind him.
The chest of the double-axe killer leader collapsed visibly, and he flew backwards and broke seven iron birch trees before he stopped.
Akagi’s magic sword drew a dark blue crack in the void, and the space scroll in Huihui’s hand was burning.
“Damn it!”
Hei Tong was affected by the powerful explosion magic and had to withdraw from the battlefield.
It depends on whether Chi Tong and the others have already activated the magic scroll of space teleportation.
The high-level legend in the distance was also in a furious state, and she immediately chose to retreat.
If you stay any longer, you will die!
And as a saint of the church, her punishment should be lighter, at least it is better than losing her life here!
Stop him! The short killer coughed up blood and roared, and the remaining assassins rushed towards Victor frantically.
Dozens of rock spikes suddenly rose from the ground, stringing these people together like blood-red wind chimes – but this delay was enough for the space crack to open completely.
You are looking for death! Victor’s heavy sword came with the force of a landslide.
When the sword tip was only half an inch away from Chi Tong’s back, the entire carriage suddenly collapsed into starlight and dissipated.
The aftermath of the sword energy split the cliff a hundred meters away into two halves, and a huge sound of anger was heard amid the rain of rubble.
At this moment, Victor was extremely angry, like a humanoid beast, extremely terrifying.
“You are all going to die!”
The huge battle wave directly swept across the entire forest!
Chapter 6: Join the chat group of all heavens and worlds! (Old version)
As the space changed.
When the people in the carriage appeared again, they were already deep in a foggy mountain range.
The air was filled with indistinct fog, and in the distance there were constant roars of beasts, bringing waves of heart-pounding pressure.
If everything goes as expected, this should be the depths of the Warcraft Mountains.
Ahem…my magic power is overdrawn
Huihui slumped in the pile of rotten leaves, her robe torn by the turbulent flow of space and had some holes in it.
Chi Tong’s magic sword was stuck in the ground and was shaking violently, and the situation of the other women around was not much better.
Without time to rest, the women immediately began to look around and prepared for battle.
“It looks like we are deep in the Warcraft Mountains here!”
Chi Tong looked at the surrounding environment and felt the powerful pressure from afar, and couldn’t help but frown.
“The space teleportation scroll can only randomly teleport fifty miles.
So we are not completely out of danger now! Moreover, we have been teleported to the depths of the Warcraft Mountains. “
Huihui looked at the surrounding scene and couldn’t help but sigh.
“Hey! Are you okay? Are you not dead?”
Looking at the handsome young man leaning against the carriage, Marin couldn’t help but walk closer and speak.
“Don’t worry, I won’t die that easily!
But then again, are you planning on kidnapping me?
Kidnapping the heir of the Lion Duke, can you withstand the wrath of the Lion Duke?”
At this time, Annan was leaning against the carriage, looking at the women around him, and couldn’t help but reveal a playful smile.
After making sure that his life was not in danger and that he had a life-saving scroll in his hand, he did not make any other reactions.
He also wanted to see why these girls wanted to kidnap him.
Moreover, his golden finger just needs the women to use the simulator!
“Don’t worry, we won’t hurt you, but don’t even think about running away.
You are only a master-level warrior, there is no way you can escape from us!”
Leone straightened her turbulent breasts, walked up to Annan, patted his shoulder in a familiar manner, and said straightforwardly.
Hearing this, Annan was speechless.
That was before when I didn’t have the opportunity to cheat and could only rely on studying honestly.
Now you guys are giving me the chance to cheat.
If I don’t give you a little shock, wouldn’t it be an shame for the time traveler’s golden finger!
Annan also discovered through their conversation that they seemed to have no memory of their past lives.
For example, Akahime and other girls don’t know their captain Brand and their superior Nadezhda at all.
In other words, these people all have completely new identities in this world.
There is no memory of past lives at all.
It is also possible that they, like Annan, are also time travelers and reincarnations.
The only difference is that there is no memory of past lives.
Thinking of this, Annan also checked the golden finger in his mind.
[Simulator activated, characters already bound: Akame, Kurome, Huihui, Leone, Chelsi, Myne, and Seele! ]“Hmm? It seems that as long as a special person enters my vicinity, the simulator will automatically bind!”
This is good too. At least as long as you show up in front of a special person or get close to a certain distance, you can bind and establish a special link.
Used for simulation!
[Binding successful, do you want to start simulation? ! ]Seeing this, Annan chose no. The surroundings looked dangerous no matter how they looked at it.
Let’s wait until we find a safe place before starting the simulation!
Just then, Akagi walked up to Annan and began to introduce herself.
“My name is Chi Tong. I come from the Imperial Capital Sword and Magic Academy. I am the daughter of the dean of the Sword Academy.
Don’t worry, we won’t hurt you, we just want to use you as a bargaining chip.
Persuade the Duke of Lion not to start a war!
After all, once a full-scale war begins, many civilians will die in the war, and the entire empire will fall apart!”
Chi Tong looked at Annan. She wanted to persuade Annan to join their camp and maintain the stability of the current empire.
Although she knew it was difficult, she was still willing to give it a try!
“Huh? The daughter of the Sword Academy’s dean?!
It seems that the anime characters in this world do have their own new identities! Just like me! “
Thinking of this, Annan nodded at Chitong’s calmness and said.
“Don’t worry! I won’t run away, nor will I do anything bad to you.
Since you are so frank, I will tell you.
I don’t know what kind of deals or grudges my father, the Duke of Lion, has with the royal family.
So using me to threaten and persuade him may not have any effect!
As for me joining your camp, to be honest, I have no interest in it!”
Annan spread his hands, expressing some regret.
“I see!
Your guard is a high-level legend, very powerful, but this is deep in the Warcraft Mountains.
There are also many legendary monsters, and he might not be able to find this place in a short time!
During this time, you will have to follow us!”
After hearing what Chi Tong said, An Nan said he didn’t care.
He just wanted to experiment with the capabilities of the simulator, so of course he couldn’t ask for more.
Then everyone packed up their things and weapons, and began to prepare to bypass the depths of the Monster Mountain Range and head towards the Imperial Capital.
At night, after walking for most of the day, the group was still wandering deep in the Warcraft Mountains.
As a last resort, the women found a cave and prepared to spend the night.
Inside the cave, the fire illuminated half of the cave.
There were no traces of monsters within thousands of meters around, so everyone dared to light the fire.
Akahime arranged for Maine and Leone to guard the first half of the night, while she herself would guard the second half.
Late at night, Annan was ready to start his first simulation.
And at this moment, another system prompt sounded.
“bite–!”
“Welcome to join the chat group of all heavens and worlds!”
Chapter 7: Newcomer’s welcome gift! Group members’ red envelope skills! (Old version)
“What? There are also gold fingers? Two?”
At this time, Annan’s mouth corners slightly raised and a smile appeared on his face.
Unexpectedly, two golden fingers came directly!
Why worry about not being able to take off!
Then Annan opened the chat group in his mind to take a look.
At this time, there were already several members in the chat group.
Group owner: (Genshin Impact) [Ordinary retired old man]: Welcome newcomers!
(Broken) [I’m really not a paramecium?]: Hey, there’s a new person reporting in! Fun!
(Death) [Mirror Flower and Water Moon]: This new guy doesn’t look that strong!
(Naruto) [The Strongest Taijutsu Master]: Are you also from another world?
(Pirate) [Grandpa Whitebeard]: Kulalala! Welcome newcomer! Do you want to be my child? Kulalala!
Annan looked at the various nicknames and IDs in the group and his eyes lit up.
Although it seems that there are relatively few members in this group.
But it still includes quite a lot of worlds.
Based on the world and ID names, Annan roughly knows who the people in the group are.
Needless to say, the retired old man in the world of Genshin Impact must be Zhongli, the King of Rock.
The Paramecium of the Honkai World should be Kiana Kaslana.
The mirror flowers and water moons in the world of death must be Lan Da.
The best physical skills of Naruto are Might Guy and Pirate Whitebeard!
Thinking of this, Annan immediately edited a message and sent it out.
【I am really a demon king】: Hello everyone! I am a newcomer, please take care of me!
[I’m really not a paramecium]: The new guy looks awesome! He’s actually a demon king! (Shocked) (Eating melon)
【I am really a demon king】: Don’t be nervous, I just picked a random name, I am really not a demon king! (bitter smile)
Then Annan typed in the chat box:
I’m new here, why don’t you introduce yourselves first?
The azure blue group interface suddenly rippled, and the three-dimensional projection of the white-haired girl jumped out.
It appears on the chat group interface, and only Annan can see this interface.
Do you want to role-play?
In the picture, Kiana bit into a bitter melon burger, her blue eyes flashing with cunning light.
I am determined to become the strongest Valkyrie!
Last time in the Quantum Sea, I killed seven people in and out.
At this moment, another three-dimensional projection appeared on the group interface.
The red chakra wave suddenly filled the field of vision.
Tights man gives thumbs up:
[The strongest taijutsu user] Konoha’s blue beast is here!
Youth is about moving forward, five hundred backflips to welcome the newcomers!
Whitebeard put down his wine bowl and laughed, causing dust to fall from the sky:
Kulala! Boy, do you want to come to my deck? I just caught enough sea king to feed 10,000 people…
[Mirror Flower and Water Moon]: Newcomer, do you need a welcome ceremony?
In the group screen, Aizen was holding the Mirror Flower and Water Moon in his hand, as if he was about to walk out of the group interface, as if that was not a projection, but the real him!
[Ordinary retired old man]: “Okay, let’s not make the welcome ceremony for the newcomers so dull. Let’s be friendly!”
As a golden jade shield opened, the figure of Aizen appeared on the group interface.
It also continued to break into pieces until it finally turned into stars.
[Ordinary retired old man]: Mr. Aizen, the test for newcomers to join the group should follow basic etiquette.
Zhongli’s voice shattered the illusion like the sound of a huge bell, and the golden pattern of the jade shield spread out in the group space.
[Grandpa with white beard]: Gulala! Why not let the newlyweds choose their own welcome ceremony? My collection of cherry pie, or…
He deliberately stretched out his voice and continued, “How about competing in plank with Teacher Kai?”
[The Strongest Taijutsu Master]: Oh! It’s burning! If the newbie can hold on for three minutes, I’ll give him a coupon to experience the Eight Gates!
Let me first let you experience the power of the Eight Gates!
Kai’s projection instantly burst into red steam and appeared on the group interface.
Then Might Guy directly sent a red envelope to Annan.
[I’m really not a paramecium]: Hehe, let the newcomer have a try.
This lady’s special Honkai-no-no-hot sauce is applied on…ah!
Mei, don’t steal my terminal!
At this time, Annan also received a group message reminder.
“Ding! [The Strongest Taijutsu User] sent you a group red envelope. Do you want to receive it?”
“Ding! [I’m Really Not a Paramecium] sent you a group red envelope. Do you want to receive it?”
Looking at the group message prompt, Annan was also a little surprised.
This chat group can actually send red envelopes? !
It looks really good!
Doesn’t that mean that all kinds of weapons or skills can also be sent? !
“take over.”
At this moment, Annan felt that an item bar appeared on his group interface, on which was a special experience card with “Eight Gates Ninjutsu x 1 time” written on it!
There was also an item column with a bottle-like thing labeled on it – [Honkai Energy Hot Sauce! ].
“Oh my god, what is this? Dark cuisine!”
When Annan saw this, he was also speechless.
It seems that we still need to be careful when it comes to the red envelopes in this group, because not all red envelopes are good things!
[Ordinary retired old man]: “Okay, everyone, stop playing pranks on the newbies!
We will be in the same group from now on, so please take care of me!
Let’s also give the newlyweds a red envelope for meeting each other!”
[Grandpa Whitebeard]: “Kura Lala! I will let the newbie experience the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit!”
[Mirror Flower Water Moon]: “Be careful, newbie, my knife is not ordinary!”
“Ding! [Ordinary retired old man] sent you a group red envelope, do you want to receive it?”
“Ding! [Mirror Flower Water Moon] sent you a group red envelope, do you want to receive it?”
“Ding! [Grandpa with white beard] sent you a group red envelope, do you want to receive it?”
Chapter 8: The First Simulation, the World of Red Eyes! (Second Update) (Old Version)
[I am really a demon king!]: “Mr. Zhong is still sensible! Thank you all, seniors! Thank you so much!”
At this time, Annan looked at the numerous red envelopes and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Finally we can take off!
“Ding, you received the group red envelope and got the experience card – Jade Shield x 1 time!”
“Ding, you received a group red packet and got an experience card – Mirror Flower and Water Moon x 1 time!”
“Ding, you received the group red envelope and got the experience card – Tremor-Tremor Fruit x 1 time!”
Annan was filled with joy when he received so many powerful skills at once.
Although they are all trial cards, they can only be used once.
Moreover, with Annan’s current strength, the power he unleashes is definitely not as powerful as those big guys.
But at least it gave Annan a lot more cards and strength.
If used properly, it can play a significant role.
Annan was also afraid that Kiana would send some dark food again, so he quickly prepared to log off.
And this time I also got a lot of skill experience cards.
It’s a good opportunity to try out the effect in this simulator!
Thinking of this, Annan said hello in the group, expressed his gratitude, exchanged a few more words, and then quickly left.
When his consciousness returned to the real world, Annan turned on the simulator and prepared to start the first simulation.
[The characters currently bound to the simulator are Akame, Kurome, Myne, Chelsi, Leone, Seele, and Megumin!
You can choose to simulate the world:
1: The world of red eyes!
2: Beautiful blessings to the world! 】
Annan thought about it and decided to choose the first world, the world of red eyes.
After all, there are the most characters bound here, and you can gain satisfaction from many characters by simulating once.
It’s such a great deal!
[The world has been selected successfully, and the world of Scarlet Eyes is about to arrive!](Note: No matter how long time passes in the simulated world, only one second will pass in the real world.)
[You will get fifteen free attribute points for each simulation!
And it will inherit all the strength of the current real world!
Please select the attribute to add points! 】
Annan opened his personal attribute panel and directly added fifteen attribute points to five strengths, five speeds, and five charms!
[Adding points completed, start simulation! ]Space transforms, consciousness rotates.
When Annan opened his eyes again, he saw a group of children who were locked up with him in a dark and damp underground room.
[You were born in a village in a remote area of ​​the empire.
Because of the empire’s corruption, many people in your village starve to death every year!
For some reason, you were sold to the Empire, and during the wilderness survival training, you met Red Eye and Black Eye who had the same experience. 】
[At this time, you are only ten years old. In the wilderness survival training, the three of you performed well and stood out, and were specially selected to join the empire’s assassination force.][In the assassination force, you will receive various assassination training every day, and learn various concealment, reconnaissance, assassination techniques, weapon use, etc.!
During the days of study, you and the two sisters, Akagi and Kuroi, became more and more familiar with each other, and your relationship gradually changed from strangers to familiar ones! 】
[When you are sixteen years old, the three of you are assigned to the same team and go to a target mission point to assassinate a high-ranking official of the empire! ]At this time, in a manor on the outskirts of the imperial capital.
Looking at the luxurious manor in the distance, it was brightly lit and constantly patrolled by soldiers.
In the dark night, a group of mysterious people appeared in the woods.
“Hei Tong, this is your first mission, so stay close to your sister. If there is any danger, protect yourself first!”
Annan looked at the black-haired little loli girl next to him and said with a gentle smile on his face.
“Okay, Brother An Nan, I will protect myself! You too!”
Heitong held the sword in his hand, looked at Annan and smiled sweetly.
Looking at Heitong, Annan couldn’t help but touch her long hair.
I couldn’t help but sigh in my heart that without the darkening of Black Pupil, she is really a cute little loli!
When Akagi, who was standing next to them, saw the two of them, a hint of tenderness flashed in her eyes.
Akahime never expected that her rebellious sister could have such a good relationship with a young boy!
This made her unable to help but look at Annan a few more times.
During these years in the assassination unit, the three of them have become very familiar with each other.
But every time he saw Annan, Chitong still felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
And with a touch of intimacy.
It was as if he was really her and Hei Tong’s older brother, taking care of the two sisters hard.
Also try your best to help the two sisters live with dignity in that hellish assassination training camp!
After all, Annan’s strength is second only to the captain, which is also the powerful strength that enables Annan to help and take care of the two sisters.
No wonder my sister is so attached to Annan!
Looking at the handsome face of the boy next to him, Chi Tong felt a little unnatural.
“Huh? What’s wrong? Is there something on my face?”
Annan looked at Chi Tong who was staring at him, and couldn’t help but smile and said to Chi Tong.
“Nothing…Nothing…”
When the sudden gaze was discovered, a hint of shyness appeared on Chitong’s little face.
But as a beautiful girl who was somewhat aloof, she had no choice but to turn her face to the other side.
Just then, the leading captain spoke up.
“Everyone, pay attention and prepare for action. The target of assassination tonight is in that manor.”
“You are the strongest here in Annan, and later you will lead Chitong, Heitong and the other five members to go in from behind.
We will go to the front to attract the enemy’s attention and delay their main force!”
“Prepare for action!”
Following the captain’s order.
More than a dozen members of the assassination team headed towards the manor under the cover of night.
Bang! Boom!
A huge sound was heard, which immediately alarmed the entire manor.
“There are assassins at the east gate. Quick, catch them!”
“Gather, gather, quickly, don’t let them run away!”
“Team one, go protect the adults. Team two, team three, follow me!”
Trample! Trample! Trample!
As footsteps were heard, chaos began to appear inside the manor.
Hearing the sound,
As the deputy captain, Annan quickly took the two sisters Chitong and five other team members, sneaked into the manor, and went straight to the target room.
But just at this moment.
Whoosh! Bang!
A huge flare rose into the sky, directly illuminating the figures of Annan and others.
“Oh no, this is a trap!”
Annan reacted and immediately protected Chi Tong and Hei Tong behind him…
Chapter 9: Because You Deserve to Be Loved! (Three Updates) (Old Version)
Next second.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Dense arrows, combined with the power of muskets, shot directly towards the crowd.
Annan drew out the long sword in his hand, swept across with several sword energies, and shouted loudly.
“Kill them!”
Faced with dense arrows and muskets, Annan did not sit still and wait for death.
He fought side by side with Chi Tong, protecting Hei Tong behind him, and together they rushed out of the manor.
Soon, the enemy’s reinforcements arrived. A group of soldiers, led by several powerful figures holding imperial weapons, surrounded Annan and others again.
“It seems that we caught a few little mice this time!”
The leader was a tall, muscular man with only one eye.
Holding a blue imperial sword in his hand, he looked at Annan and the others with a look of disdain on his face.
“How dare you come and assassinate me? Don’t you know that your superiors have already sold you out? Haha!”
At this time, an ugly fat man with a fat head and big ears, wearing luxurious clothes, walked out from the inner room.
He looked at the scene, and saw Annan and others who were surrounded, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
After that, when he saw Red Eye and Black Eye, a cruel smile appeared on his face.
“Catch those two alive. I want to let them know the pain of being tortured to death! Haha!”
“As you wish, my lord!”
The one-eyed man in the lead bowed slightly and said.
He then commanded a large number of soldiers, preparing to consume the physical strength of Annan and others first.
“kill!”
In an instant, the two sides started fighting each other.
Face these ordinary imperial soldiers as well-trained elite killers.
Annan and his men gained the upper hand for a while.
The sword flashed and blood and flesh flew everywhere.
A steady stream of soldiers rushed forward, and in the blink of an eye they turned into cold corpses.
But not only the soldiers, Annan and others also have to guard against sudden arrows and muskets.
Within a few minutes of fighting, several other team members were either hit by poison arrows or shot in the vitals by muskets.
Afterwards, in the desperate fighting, he was constantly overwhelmed by the soldiers and was finally brutally dismembered.
In the end, only Annan, Akagi and Heitong were left at the scene.
In order to protect Heitong, Annan was hit by a poisonous arrow in the shoulder.
The dark green venom had corroded a piece of flesh on the shoulder blade, and even the bones could be seen.
“An…Brother An Nan!”
When Hei Tong saw the wound on An Nan’s shoulder, he felt both distressed and guilty.
If I weren’t useless, I wouldn’t be such a burden to Brother Annan!
“It’s okay, this little injury won’t kill me!”
Annan comforted Hei Tong, and then he tied the sword in his hand to his hand with a strip of cloth from his clothes.
“Red Eye, I’ll hold back the one-eyed man, and you lead the black eye to fight your way out.
Go as far as you can, the other party is obviously well prepared.
There is a traitor in our assassination team, find him, kill him, and avenge me!”
“Annan…”
At this moment, Akagi was looking at the back of the handsome young man in front of her. He had a slender figure, but also looked a little thin.
But at this moment, his back seemed so broad and so safe.
It seems that with him around, all dangers can be easily solved!
He has been dependent on his sister since childhood and was sold to the imperial capital to become a member of an assassination team.
I have always lived in such a difficult environment.
She has always relied on herself, which is why Akagi has developed a personality that is cold on the outside but warm on the inside.
The apparent coldness and indifference are just protective colors.
She is actually just a teenage girl.
But it wasn’t until she met Annan that her life seemed to have a little sunshine.
He will carefully explain to them how to survive in the assassination training camp.
How to improve your own strength and increase your chances of survival.
How to handle conflicts with other team members.
He would also take good care of them, just like an older brother taking care of his younger sister, carefully, seriously, gently and sunny.
The girl’s heart, which had been silent and frozen for many years, began to slowly melt.
It turns out that this world is not absolutely black and white!
There are also colorful lights that make people unable to help but fantasize, pursue, and get close!
The girl’s heart also began to change little by little.
“Annan… let’s go together!”
Chi Tong clenched the long sword in his hand, and his eyes became determined.
“Don’t act on impulse, in this situation, someone is bound to be sacrificed!
I’ll cover you, you go first!”
The sword in Annan’s hand was raging, killing all the surrounding soldiers.
Then he pushed Red Eye and Black Eye directly towards the door.
“Why…why…are you helping me like this!”
There was a hint of crying in Chi Tong’s voice at this moment.
This girl, who looked as cold as an iceberg, was eventually moved by the boy’s sincerity.
She never understood why people like her and her sister were supposed to live in darkness.
Why can I be treated so happily!
How can I let the brightest sunshine shine on myself!
“Because…because you should never live in darkness!
You should live in the sunshine and deserve to be loved like other girls!
So… you must survive!”
Hearing Annan’s words, Chi Tong was stunned for a moment.
All the swordplay and saber-rattling around seemed to have disappeared.
Just because of that sentence, you should live in the sunshine and deserve to be loved!
Chapter 10: The Final Victory! (Fourth update) (Old version)
After coming to his senses, Akahime immediately picked up her sister and ran towards the gate.
None of the soldiers along the way could match her.
“You want to leave without asking me if I agree?”
The imperial weapon in the one-eyed man’s hand emitted a faint blue light, which was directly bestowed upon his body.
In an instant, he gained super-fast speed and headed straight towards Chi Tong.
“Your opponent is me!”
A sharp sword energy flashed, and Annan stopped the one-eyed man with the sword in his hand.
Faced with the aggressive one-eyed man, Annan did not retreat at all.
The strength of the person in front of him is at least one level higher than Annan.
The powerful pressure also made Annan’s hand holding the sword become a little heavy.
“Then I’ll kill you little mouse first!
You don’t think they can really run away!
There is no enemy that I cannot catch up with my imperial weapon! “
Hearing the words of the one-eyed man, Annan showed a gentle smile on his face.
“In that case, then why don’t I just kill you and solve the problem?”
“Humph! You will pay the price for your stubbornness!”
The one-eyed man swung the sword in his hand, and a faint blue light, carrying a sharp sword energy, rushed straight towards Annan…
Akagi and her sister Heitong fought their way out of a bloody battle with great difficulty.
The opponent’s blocking team includes not only ordinary soldiers, but also elite warriors holding imperial weapons.
Fortunately, Akame, who holds Murasame, cannot unleash the powerful power of the imperial weapon in her hand yet.
But I got through it with difficulty.
In a primeval forest, Akagi placed his sister here and gave her instructions.
“Hei Tong, you stay here first, I will lead the enemy away.”
“Sister, you are not going to distract the enemy, you are going to save Brother Annan!”
Hei Tong looked at his sister with a serious look in his eyes.
“It’s always been like this, you’ve been like this since you were a kid.
Why do you have to be the hero, while I can only stand behind you, be protected by you, be despised as a coward, and be seen as a burden? !
You never cared about me! Do you know what I really want?
Why do you get to make decisions for me every time? !
Just because you are the older sister and I am just the younger sister?”
Hei Tong looked at Chi Tong, with a complicated look in his eyes.
She didn’t want to be a burden to her sister and brother Annan!
She also wants to truly live!
But it seemed that her sister always treated her as a child and protected her.
But Brother Annan is different. He respects his own choices and encourages himself to do things that are impossible.
He would protect her, but he would also ask for her opinion.
But why can’t my sister do that?
“I… Hei Tong, it was a narrow escape this time. I didn’t want An Nan to take the risk and sacrifice himself, and in the end no one of us escaped!”
Only then did Akagi finally understand why her sister had always been rebellious and against her in her eyes.
She has never respected her sister’s opinions and choices.
It was as if he still treated her as a child.
“But if…if I don’t have my sister and brother Annan, how am I going to survive on my own?!”
There was already some blur in Hei Tong’s eyes at this moment.
If she lost the two people closest to her, she would have no idea how to survive in this chaotic world.
Upon hearing this, Akagi was also stunned for a moment.
“I understand! Let’s go back and find Annan together!”
Afterwards, the two sisters, who had already escaped from danger, returned without hesitation…
When Akato and Kurato returned to the manor, they couldn’t help but show expressions of shock and disbelief when they saw the scene in front of them.
I saw the entire manor.
The corpses of imperial soldiers were everywhere, densely packed. Blood flowed on the land and gathered into a small river. The strong smell of blood hit the mouth and nose.
In the manor far away, the one-eyed man was kneeling on one knee on the ground, holding the imperial sword in his hand. His head was gone, leaving only a corpse.
However, the originally obese high-ranking official of the empire fell in a pool of blood with a look of fear on his face.
There was a look of extreme fear on his face.
Everyone fell in the blood, and the entire manor was extremely quiet.
There is only a slender and upright figure with a slightly thin back.
Holding the sword with one hand, he stood firmly in the blood.
His figure was like a candle in the wind, and it seemed that he would fall down at any time.
But it seems so firm and unshakable!
Looking at the shocking scene in front of him, Chi Tong couldn’t help but call Annan’s name softly.
She simply couldn’t imagine how, with Annan’s strength, he could have managed to pull off a comeback in such a fatal situation!
Hearing Chi Tong’s voice, An Nan turned his head slowly and heavily.
It was not until then that Chi Tong saw how serious Annan’s injuries were.
The entire back and chest were covered with dense sword wounds.
Blood continued to soak through his clothes, flowed out, and dripped onto the ground along the sword in Annan’s hand.
Drop after drop, every drop of blood seemed to be beating on the hearts of the two Akagi sisters!
A huge sword mark ran across his face, leaving a deep scar on the entire left side of his face.
The originally handsome face was also disfigured, looking somewhat hideous and rough!
The poisonous wound on the shoulder blade had worsened again. There was not much flesh and blood left on the entire shoulder blade. The white bones were terrifying to look at!
“How stupid! Come back!”
Annan faced Chitong, suppressing the pain and giving a forced smile.
But when he smiled, the wound on his face was pulled, and the original smile turned into a grimace that was uglier than crying.
“You… stop talking!
I’m here! I’m here to take you away! Let’s go together!”
Chitong suppressed the blur in her eyes and quickly came to Annan with her sister.
The two sisters held Annan’s shaky body on the left and right.
“Brother An Nan… I’m sorry… It’s all because I’m too weak!”
Hei Tong looked at the scene in front of him and felt very upset.
She couldn’t even imagine what kind of brutal duel Brother Annan had gone through to suffer such severe injuries.
“Hei Tong, don’t say sorry, you have never been a burden, but my sister! Protecting you is my own choice!”
Annan spoke weakly, the loss of blood making the scene in front of his eyes more and more blurry.
“Don’t look at me, I must be very ugly now!”
Annan grinned, pulling the wound again, and turned his face into a forced grimace.
“Not ugly, in my heart, Brother Annan will always be the most handsome!
No matter what Brother Annan looks like, Hei Tong loves Brother Annan the most!”
As Hei Tong spoke, there was a slight hint of tears in his tone.
“Annan, stop talking. You are very weak now. Let’s take you away! Let’s go home together!”
Chitong’s eyes were determined, she must bring Annan back alive!
Annan must be saved!
Chapter 11: Happy times with the two sisters! (Old version)
In a quiet and deep mountain forest, surrounded by lush branches and leaves,
The sunlight can only shine through the gaps, casting spots of light, adding a touch of mystery to the forest.
There was a cave hidden in the middle. The dim and jumping light of the fire illuminated the cave, reflecting three different faces.
The two sisters, Akame and Kurome, were taking turns to keep watch, their eyes occasionally falling on the young man sleeping beside them.
At this moment, Annan’s face was pale and bloodless, with his brows slightly furrowed, as if he was still suffering from the pain.
Looking at him, the two sisters’ hearts seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and an unspeakable pain arose again.
There was a wooden basin on one side of the cave, which was almost entirely filled with blood, which was shocking to see.
That was the liquid that seeped out when the two sisters were cleaning Annan’s wound, and the white cloth that was stained red was soaked and leaked out.
Although it was a bit embarrassing to see Annan’s naked body,
But they knew very well that Annan’s injuries were too serious. If they were not cleaned carefully, once the wounds became infected, he might not survive for more than a few days.
So, the two sisters, with red faces and trembling hands, unbuttoned Annan’s clothes bit by bit.
She suppressed her shyness and carefully cleaned the dense sword wounds on his body.
Every wound seemed to be cut into their own hearts and it hurt badly.
“Sister, can Brother Annan survive?”
Hei Tong’s voice was trembling. She looked at An Nan’s originally strong body.
At this moment, his body was covered with scars, his eyes were red, and his heart was full of self-blame and pain.
If I could become stronger, would I be able to protect Brother Annan and prevent him from getting hurt?
Such thoughts kept circling in her mind. Looking at everything in front of her, she gradually had other ideas in her mind.
“Yes, I will.”
Chi Tong gently comforted her sister, but her eyes also revealed a hint of uneasiness and worry.
The movements of his hands while cleaning the wound were even gentler and more careful, as if he was afraid of hurting the unconscious Annan.
“Hmm…” A faint groan broke the silence in the cave, and Annan slowly opened his eyes.
His eyes were still a little confused.
Hearing the noise, the two sisters immediately put down what they were holding and quickly came to Annan.
“Annan, you’re awake!” There was surprise in Chitong’s voice and a gleam in his eyes.
“Brother Annan, how do you feel?”
Hei Tong also asked anxiously, with tears still on his face.
Annan looked at the two girls’ faces, which were full of worry and tears, yet so delicate and beautiful, and felt warm in his heart.
He forced a smile and said:
“It’s okay, I’m not going to die! Is this the wound you cleaned for me?”
Only then did he realize that the wounds on his body had not only been cleaned, but also applied with herbal medicine and bandaged neatly.
As an elite killer, Annan learned how to treat wounds in the wild while in the killer training camp.
But now, doesn’t this mean that my body has been seen by the two sisters?
Thinking of this, a strange look flashed in his eyes. Red Eye and Black Eye seemed to have sensed his thoughts.
A blush instantly appeared on her face, like a ripe apple.
“That…that…because you are hurt so badly!
So…so…”
Akahime explained stutteringly, her hands unconsciously tugging at the corners of her clothes.
There was shyness and a hint of nervousness in her eyes.
After all, it was the first time she encountered such a situation, and the critical situation left her with no choice.
Moreover, deep in her heart, there seemed to be an indescribable joy for being able to take care of Annan at such a close distance.
Annan looked at the two sisters’ blushing faces, and his heart moved. He did not continue to ask this question.
“How many days have I been unconscious?” he asked instead.
“It’s been three days! What are we going to do next?”
As Akatomi spoke, she handed him a pot of hot water, her eyes full of concern.
Annan took the hot water, took a sip, paused, and said slowly:
“Well, the Imperial assassination team can’t go back. We don’t know who the traitor is yet, so we can’t go back rashly.
And I still need to recover from my injury.
Let’s find a safer place and wait until I recover from my injuries before deciding whether to stay or go!”
After hearing Annan’s words, the two sisters, Chitong and Heitong, looked at each other and neither raised any objections.
They knew that this arrangement was the safest one now.
[After that great battle, the two sisters Akagi completely opened their hearts to you! ][You have lived a secluded life in the mountains. Although your life is hard, it is full of happiness! ][Red Eye will go hunting during the day, while Black Eye will chat with you and take care of your daily life.
In the evening, you eat barbecue together, look at the stars in the sky and talk about life. 】
[You often wonder, if you were born in a peaceful empire, in an ordinary family, would you be so happy every day! ][With the careful care of the two sisters, your injuries are healing faster and faster, but the only thing is that the scar on your face has become a permanent scar. ][The scar is on your face, but it is like a branding iron, leaving a mark on the two sisters’ hearts! You can’t help but comfort them, saying that this is also a kind of growth for men! ][Two months passed quickly. These two months were the happiest two months for you and sister Akatomi in your entire life!
This also left an indelible happy memory in the hearts of the two sisters! 】
[Now that your injuries have healed, and your strength is showing signs of improvement, you decide that it is time to go back and deal with the traitors and make them pay the price! ]Chapter 12: Join the Night Raid Team and meet Myne for the first time! (Old version)
[After recovering from your serious injury, you returned to the Empire Assassination Squad with the two sisters, Akagi! ][The entire Empire assassination team was also shocked by your appearance. After all, under the circumstances at that time, everyone believed that you were all wiped out! ][You didn’t explain this, but took the time to sort out the entire incident. In the end, all the clues pointed to the captain of the assassination team! ]“Why? We are companions who have been through thick and thin together! But you still want to stab us in the back?”
Annan looked at the captain in front of him with an expressionless indifference on his face.
“Why? Because those adults want you dead, what can I do? After all, we are just dogs raised by those adults!”
The captain showed a mocking look on his face.
“Oh, it seems that this empire is really hopelessly corrupt. We assisted them and eliminated dissidents, but in the end, we only ended up being abandoned after our empire was destroyed!”
Having said that, Annan drew his sword.
“In that case, what if this empire rebels?”
clang!
A flash of cold light passed by and went straight towards the captain.
The red eyes and black eyes behind Annan also immediately entered combat state.
The other assassination team members in the distance were also confused when they saw this, not knowing who to help!
[During the battle, you and Akame worked together to kill the traitorous captain. At this time, you were also saddened by the corruption of the entire empire. Then you decided to leave the Empire Assassination Squad and join the Night Raid to find a way to truly save the empire! ][When you left, you and Chi Tong discovered that Hei Tong, who was following you, had disappeared! Hei Tong only left a letter. Hei Tong wanted to find his own way, instead of following in the footsteps of sister Chi Tong and brother An Nan and living under your protection! ][Although Akahiko is worried about this, you understand that you cannot stop Hei Tong’s choice, so you can only comfort Akahiko.][After a long journey, you and Akame arrived at a base of the Night Raid and met the captain of the Night Raid, Brand. After explaining your purpose, he introduced you to the leader of the Night Raid – Najeshitan! ][At this point, you and Akame have truly joined the Night Raid organization and become a member of the Night Raid! ][After joining Night Raid, you teamed up with Akame and completed many assassination missions!
And on this day, while completing an assassination mission, you came to the western border of the empire. 】
“This should be the place!” Annan’s voice was firm and his eyes scanned the strange city.
This is Sereb, a city on the western border of the empire.
Unlike the prosperous and orderly imperial capital,
The city is filled with a rough and mixed atmosphere.
Annan and Chitong walked slowly on the street wearing carefully prepared disguises.
The yellow sand was blown up by the wind from time to time and hit them, as if reminding them that this was a special location on the border.
“It does look a little different from the city in the imperial capital!”
Chi Tong tightened his robe, trying to block the pervasive wind and sand, with a hint of curiosity and vigilance in his eyes.
Looking around at the unique street scenes created by the mixed population of the empire’s ethnic minorities.
The buildings on the street have different styles, the pedestrians have different clothes and faces, and the noisy hawking sounds are mixed with different dialects.
“Let’s find a place to stay first! We don’t know when the target will come, so let’s stay here for one night!”
Annan spoke, his voice still clear and steady in the wind and sand.
He took Chi Tong and randomly found a hotel. The hotel looked a bit shabby, and the sign was swaying in the wind, but fortunately it was clean.
Not long after the two settled down in the hotel, a sudden noise on the street instantly attracted their attention.
“Beat you to death, you half-blood monster!” A sharp child’s voice cut through the air.
“That’s right, you don’t deserve to live in the city, you’re just a barbarian!” another voice followed suit.
“Get out of town, half-blood trash like you are not welcome here!” The insults rang out one after another.
Annan and Chitong looked at each other and quickly rushed towards the source of the sound.
In a dark alley not far from the hotel, a group of children were surrounding a little girl with pink hair.
The leader was a boy as fat as a hill, his face flushed red, his eyes full of ferocity and arrogance.
He led other children to beat and kick the little girl continuously.
The little girl was thin and looked particularly helpless when surrounded by this group of children.
Her little face was full of fear and her body couldn’t stop shaking.
The fat boy raised his fist high and smashed it towards the girl’s face with a whistling sound.
If this punch had landed, the girl, with her slender and fragile physique, would probably have been seriously injured on the spot.
At this moment, the girl’s nervousness and fear made her breathing quicken.
She couldn’t help but put her hands in front of her eyes, and curled up her small body, as if this could avoid all harm.
Seeing this scene, Annan’s heart suddenly moved.
His eyes were fixed on the girl’s face and long pink hair. The image of Myne as a child instantly appeared in his mind. The two were so similar.
Before he could think too much, Annan flashed like a black lightning and instantly arrived in the dark alley.
Just when the fat boy’s fist was about to land on the girl’s face,
Annan stretched out his palm and firmly grasped the fat boy’s fist, as if he was grasping a struggling bird.
“Didn’t your parents teach you not to bully the weak?”
Annan’s mouth curled up slightly, revealing a cold sneer.
The smile looked even more severe under the half-covered mask.
After saying that, he suddenly exerted force with his palm, and with a crisp “crack” sound, the boy’s palm was directly fractured.
“Ah…” A pig-killing scream instantly resounded throughout the alley.
Annan then took a step forward with a clean and neat move, kicking the fat boy directly away.
The fat boy fell to the ground like a broken sack and rolled on the ground in pain.
“Get out!” Annan’s voice was low and majestic, like a roar from hell.
The other children were so frightened by this sudden change that their faces turned pale and their legs went weak.
They looked at the fat boy lying on the ground groaning in pain, and then looked at Annan who was standing there like a demon.
They didn’t dare to stay any longer, and immediately ran away with the fat boy, crawling away.
“Are you okay?” Annan turned around and looked at the frightened girl with long pink hair next to him.
A gentle smile appeared unconsciously on his face.
This smile was like the warm sunshine in spring, dispelling the fear in the girl’s heart.
“Ah! Thank you…thank you, big brother! I’m fine!”
The girl with long pink hair raised her head and looked at the boy in front of her who was wearing a half mask but had a gentle smile.
In her previous understanding, the world was full of discrimination and malice.
But at this moment, she felt for the first time that there were such gentle people in the world.
Tears sparkled in her eyes, a light of emotion and surprise…
Chapter 13: Mission! Marin’s Expectation! (Old Version)
Annan slowly half-knelt down, looked the girl in the eyes gently, and asked softly:
“What’s your name? Why are you being bullied by them?”
His voice seemed to have a soothing magical power, giving people an extra warm feeling in this windy and dusty alley.
The girl bit her lower lip slightly, her small teeth sinking into the soft lips, and hesitated for a long time.
Then she whispered, “My name is Mayin. Because I am mixed-race, everyone says I am a monster and always bullies me.”
As she spoke, her eyes revealed deep inferiority and fear, and her small body trembled slightly unconsciously.
A trace of pity flashed across Annan’s eyes, and that look was like the warmest sunshine in spring.
I want to dispel all the haze in Mayin’s heart.
He raised his hand, gently touched Myne’s head, and said softly:
“Don’t be afraid, they won’t bully you anymore. No one can hurt you while I’m here.”
After hearing this, Marin dared to slowly raise her head.
She looked cautiously at the handsome older brother in front of her who was wearing half a mask.
I don’t know why, but I felt a sense of familiarity in my heart.
And I feel that the other party’s words must be full of trust!
This also made the girl, who had already experienced a lot of hardships, show a touch of emotion.
At this time, Akagi, who had been standing quietly at the entrance of the alley, walked over with light and steady steps.
She watched the scene quietly, and in her usually cold eyes, there was a hint of imperceptible tenderness at this moment.
She didn’t say anything, but took out a white handkerchief from her bosom and handed it to Marin, nodding slightly, indicating Marin to wipe the dust and tears off her face.
Marin took the handkerchief timidly and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito:
“Thank you…” Chi Tong nodded slightly without saying anything, but that simple action revealed a silent concern.
Annan thought for a moment, looked up at the gradually darkening sky, and said to Mayin:
“It’s getting late. It’s not safe for you to go home alone. Let’s take you back.”
A trace of panic flashed across Marin’s eyes, as if the most vulnerable part of her heart had been touched. She lowered her head and stammered:
“I…I have no home. My parents are dead. I have been living in a shabby house in the slums outside the city.”
When she said this, her voice choked slightly and tears welled up in her eyes.
Annan and Chitong looked at each other and clearly saw the deep reluctance in each other’s eyes.
Annan said without hesitation:
“Then you can stay in the hotel with us tonight, and we’ll figure it out tomorrow.”
His tone was firm and warm, as if promising Marin that she would no longer be alone.
In the hotel, Annan carefully ordered some sumptuous food for Mayin. Seeing Mayin wolfing down the food, Annan was filled with emotion.
The prejudice and cruelty of this world are like heavy shackles, causing such a young child to endure so much suffering that he should not have to endure.
After finishing her meal, Marne leaned sleepily against the bed and soon fell into a deep sleep.
Her breathing was steady and even, and there was a look of relief on her tender little face, as if she had finally found the long-lost sense of security in this strange room.
Annan and Chitong sat at the other end of the room, talking in low voices.
Akahime frowned slightly and asked softly, “Should we keep her with us? This might affect our mission.”
There was a hint of worry in her eyes; after all, they were carrying out an important mission.
Annan also frowned, his eyes full of entanglement and reluctance:
“I know the mission is important, but I just can’t bear to leave her here alone.
Besides, her experience may help us better understand the hidden contradictions of this city.
There must be a deeper reason behind the serious discrimination against mixed-race people in this city.
And this may be closely related to our mission.”
Akato was silent for a moment, thinking about Mayin’s helpless look in his mind, and finally nodded slightly in agreement.
Although she appears to be cold on the outside, she also has a soft side deep down.
The next morning, soft sunlight shone through the gaps in the window and onto the floor of the room.
Ma Yin slowly woke up in this unfamiliar environment, with a trace of confusion in her eyes. She looked around sleepily.
Then he thought of what happened last night and a grateful smile immediately appeared on his face.
Annan looked at Mayin who had just woken up and said with a smile:
“We have some things to do in the city today. You can tag along and help us get familiar with the city.”
Myne nodded excitedly, her eyes sparkling.
She had never thought that she could walk with such a gentle and strong person. To her, it seemed like an incredible dream.
They walked in the city, and the streets were still filled with wind and sand.
Ma Yin looked at An Nan and Chi Tong curiously. The doubts in her heart were like young buds breaking through the soil in spring. She couldn’t help but ask:
“Big brother and big sister, what do you do? Why did you come to Sereb?”
Annan smiled and replied, “We are travelers, traveling around. We heard that Sereb is very special, so we came to see it.”
His smile is like the warm sunshine in spring, making people relax involuntarily.
Marin nodded as if she understood, and then enthusiastically introduced them to some of the city’s special features.
Her voice was clear and pleasant, and seemed particularly lively in the wind and sand:
“The food stall on the corner over there sells delicious kebabs, the most authentic taste of Sereb;
There is also a small hill on the east side of the city. In the evening, you can see the most beautiful sunset. The whole sky will be dyed orange and red. It is so beautiful! “
Just as they were talking happily, a rapid bell rang suddenly in the city.
The sound of the bell vibrated in the yellow sand, as if carrying an invisible force.
Annan’s expression changed instantly, his eyes became sharp and alert, and he subconsciously pressed the hilt of the knife at his waist.
Through the mask, he looked at the towering Taxation Bureau building in the west of the city. A corner of Akame’s cloak was lifted by the strong wind, revealing a dark red scabbard – that was the symbol of the night raid team when they were on a mission, flashing a cold light in the sun.
“The bell is the signal for the city’s defense troops to change guard.”
Chi Tong’s voice was mixed in with the whistling wind and sand, low and calm, “We have twenty minutes.” Every word seemed to be polished by the wind and sand, concise and powerful.
After hearing what Chi Tong said, Annan settled Mayin down.
Main was placed in the storage room on the top floor of the hotel. Annan carefully used silver thread to weave a spider-web-like cordon on the door frame.
The silver thread is thin but tough, flashing an imperceptible light in the dim light.
“We’ll be back when we count to a thousand.”
He ruffled the girl’s long pink hair, his movements were intimate and warm, and then placed a glowing star-patterned stone in her palm.
“If you are afraid, just look at it, it will accompany you.”
After saying that, Annan and Chitong looked at each other, turned around and quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor.
Only Ma Yin was left in the storage room, tightly holding the Star Stone, with both worry and expectation in her eyes…
Chapter 13: Mayin’s rebirth, Annan’s redemption! (Old version)
Dark clouds weighed heavily over the tax bureau’s dungeon.
The air was filled with a mixture of stench and blood, as if even the air was permeated with the smell.
Annan was hidden in the darkness, her silver hair like moonlight flickering in the gloom.
It is moving between the beams and pillars at a ghostly speed.
Each silver thread was like a deadly weapon controlled by him, silently wrapping around the patrolling guard’s neck.
They were slowly hung up, and the guards didn’t even have time to shout before they were mercilessly strangled.
The body gradually became motionless, and was hung by the silver threads into a silent cocoon.
Chi Tong held a sharp blade in his hand, and his red eyes were like burning flames, emitting a captivating light in the darkness.
Her movements were clean and neat, and the blade in her hand cut through the iron lock with precision.
The “click” sound was particularly harsh in this silent dungeon.
At this moment, a loud thunder suddenly sounded in the sky, followed by heavy rain pouring down.
The water curtain hit heavily the long-dried bloodstains on the stone wall, trying to wash away the traces of sin.
“The thirteenth.”
Annan shook the silver thread lightly, and blood splashed out. He looked at the captain of the guard who fell in front of the archive door, and his voice was calm without a trace of emotion.
Chi Tong was using the tip of a knife to pick up a bunch of keys, preparing to open the door of the archives.
The tip of her nose moved slightly, and she suddenly frowned and said, “The smell of blood is too light.”
However, before she finished her words, all the gas lamps on the entire floor went out with a “puff”.
The darkness came quickly like a tide, completely submerging them.
Then, a burst of heavy footsteps came from all directions, and twenty heavily armored warriors poured out from the secret door.
The crossbows in their hands glowed a poisonous blue light in the darkness, and it was obvious at a glance that they were highly poisonous.
It was obvious that this was a carefully designed trap, waiting for them to fall into it.
“Take the information and go first.” Chi Tong reacted very quickly. Her figure turned around in an instant like a black lightning.
The knife in his hand drew an arc in the air, accurately cutting off three poisonous arrows shot at them.
The blade drew a crimson arc in the darkness, like a blood-red flower blooming in the night sky.
Annan was not to be outdone. His silver thread suddenly pierced into the ceiling with such force that it tore a hole in the ceiling.
Heavy rain poured down from the hole, forming a powerful curtain of water that knocked the poisonous arrows off course.
For a moment, the dungeon was filled with flashes of swords and sabers, shouts of killing, and the sound of rain, creating an extremely chaotic scene.
When Akame’s knife pierced the throat of the last samurai,
The accumulated water in the dungeon had already reached the soles of their boots, and the smell of blood grew stronger in the rain.
It was raining heavily, and the big raindrops hit the roof of the hotel heavily, making a “crackling” sound.
The entire hotel was shaking in the wind and rain, as if it would be swallowed up by the storm at any time.
Marin sat in the corner of the room, her eyes fixed on the Star Stone in her hand, and she kept counting:
“Nine hundred and eighty-five, nine hundred and eighty-six, nine hundred and eighty-seven…”
At this moment, the Star Stone suddenly went out without any warning, and the room was instantly plunged into darkness.
“Bang!” There was a loud noise, and the fat boy’s twisted and crazy scream came from outside the door:
“I know you’re in there! This time I brought a real demon-hunting crossbow, you can’t escape!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a steel arrow pierced through the wooden door like lightning and shot straight into the room.
Main reacted quickly, her body instinctively throwing itself towards the corner. The arrow flew past her ear and smashed the star-patterned stone left by Annan into pieces, with gravel scattering everywhere.
Marin looked out through the crack in the wooden door and saw the fat boy surrounded by six mercenaries.
His right hand was in a plaster cast, but now it has been replaced with a steel prosthesis. Under the reflection of the lightning,
It has a cold metallic luster and looks particularly hideous.
“Tear her bones apart one by one!”
The fat boy roared hysterically, his voice mixed with the rolling thunder, making it seem even crazier.
Myne’s body trembled slightly, and her hand subconsciously reached for the dagger in her arms.
At this moment, she suddenly remembered the knife-holding posture that Annan taught her – thumb pressing the sheath.
Grip the handle with three fingers and strike the blade upwards.
This posture seemed to give her endless courage.
Just as the fourth crossbow arrow was about to break through the door, two figures fell from the sky like meteors, shattering the rain curtain.
It was Annan and Chitong! Annan’s silver hair was like a blue lightning.
It instantly wrapped around the necks of the three mercenaries. The silk threads in the rainstorm seemed to be endowed with strange powers.
Glowing with a faint blue light.
The mercenaries who were entangled by the silver threads had no time to scream before their heads fell off.
There was a thin layer of frost on the cut, which was chilling.
Chi Tong’s knife was like a silver streak that pierced through the rain curtain and split the two demon-hunting crossbows into four pieces with the force of thunder, sending wood chips flying everywhere.
“Didn’t your father teach you that revenge begets greater revenge?”
Annan walked towards the fat boy step by step. Each of his steps was extremely steady and the rain splashed high under his feet.
He stepped on the fat boy’s steel prosthesis and crushed it hard, causing a harsh sound of metal deformation, and the fat boy screamed in pain.
The heavy rain kept washing away the blood on Annan’s mask.
In Marin’s eyes, his figure was tall and majestic, like a god descending to the earth.
Main, who had lived in poverty, discrimination and hatred since childhood, felt protected for the first time.
This feeling made her want to sink into it.
“So this is what it feels like to have someone care about you! It’s so nice!”
At this time, Annan dragged the fat noble boy in front of Main like a dead dog.
“Kill him. If you don’t want to live in fear and sorrow for the rest of your life, kill him and come with us!”
Hearing Annan’s words, Mayin was slightly stunned.
But then his eyes became more determined.
As a mixed-race person, she has long been fed up with this kind of life of discrimination and hatred.
Annan is the only person she cares about now!
Since Annan said so, she will trust him unconditionally!
Mine slowly took the Murasame sword. The handle still retained the warmth of Akame’s body temperature. The temperature seemed to flow through her palm and into her heart.
The fat boy fell in a pool of blood, still wriggling and cursing: “Bastard will always…”
Marin took a deep breath, then thrust the blade into the fat boy’s chest without hesitation.
The touch was softer than she had imagined, and a stream of warm blood spurted out.
It bloomed into a gorgeous red lotus in the rain.
When Myne pulled out the knife, a strand of pink hair stuck to the corner of her bloody lips.
She finally saw the smile behind Annan’s mask. That smile was like the morning light penetrating the clouds after a storm, warm and bright.
Two fast horses galloped like arrows in the heavy rain, breaking through the heavy rain curtain.
Maine pressed tightly against Annan’s chest, and Annan held Maine in his arms.
The two men and the horse also moved quickly forward.
Leaning on Annan’s chest, Main, who had just killed someone, felt a sense of security and trust she had never felt before!
It seems like I want this to go on forever…
Around her wrist was the family crest cut from the boy’s body. Every time a lightning flashed,
The roaring wolf head on the badge was reflected particularly clearly, and it also illuminated the newborn fire in her eyes.
“Night raids don’t require tears.”
Chi Tong threw the spare dagger to Myne and said with a firm look,
“But we need to remember why every tear was shed.”
Ma Yin tightly grasped the scabbard that still had the remaining warmth of Annan. The heavy rain was still pouring down, but she was no longer afraid of getting wet.
Because when the long sword drank blood for the first time, she finally understood that some warmth must be protected by a sharp blade.
Some justice must be defended by fighting…
Chapter 14: Moonlight and Pumpkin Candy! Myne’s Diary! (Old Version)
[Time flies like a white horse passing by, and a few months are gone in a flash.
Since Myne joined, you naturally became her teacher, taking on the responsibility of training her in various assassination techniques.
During these fulfilling days, you have worked hard together and witnessed each other’s growth and transformation. 】
[During the training process, you will teach Myne how to use the newly acquired imperial weapon, the Romantic Pumpkin Cannon, without reservation.
This imperial weapon is not only a powerful weapon, but also a special bond between you and Myne. 】
[For Marin, this period of time was like a warm dream. It was the happiest time she had ever had since she was born.
Under your patient guidance, she gradually mastered the techniques of using the imperial tools, and gained unprecedented confidence and strength. 】
The training ground was covered with thick snow at this time. Under the bright moonlight, the snow was glowing with a cool blue light, like a dreamy silver world.
This was the thirteenth time that Maine was knocked away. As her body was falling rapidly,
When she was about to fall heavily on the snow, Annan was quick to catch her.
The girl’s long pink hair, like a waterfall, gently swept across his arm armor, and the ends of her hair were still clinging to snow particles that had not yet melted.
Those were the glittering ice crystals that had been stuck on it when it was blown away by the recoil wave of the imperial weapon just now, and they were sparkling with tiny lights under the moonlight.
“My breathing is disordered.”
Annan spoke softly, his voice particularly clear in the silent training ground.
He gently removed the ice from Marin’s hair, his movements so gentle as if he was handling an inestimably precious treasure.
Then, he tapped the girl’s violently heaving chest with his fingertips and continued:
“Romantic Pumpkin needs to resonate with the heartbeat. Do you remember how to adjust the pulse rate?”
“Sniping requires not only seeing, but also hearing and feeling!”
“A true sniper can take the enemy’s head silently from a distance of a thousand meters!”
Ma Yin tightly grasped the pumpkin pendant on her chest. It was a tuner that Annan had carefully crafted using fragments of imperial weapons.
It carries the deep friendship between them.
When she slowly closed her eyes and calmed down to listen to the heartbeat in the snow,
Memories came flooding back like a tide, and I instantly flashed back to that stormy night.
At that time, the blood-stained hilt of the knife was against her palm, and Annan was breathing steadily and powerfully.
It also fell so gently on her ear, giving her endless sense of security.
“Breathe in for three beats, hold your breath for two beats.”
The deep and magnetic voice of the man next to her seemed to penetrate the mist of memory and reach Marin’s ears clearly.
Marin was shocked to realize that her heartbeat was gradually becoming synchronized with the vibration of the other person’s chest.
At this moment, the imperial weapon that had been lying quietly in her palm suddenly woke up, and the gilded lines quickly climbed up the cannon like a nimble snake.
Then, the condensed light bullet flew towards the ice rock 300 meters away like a dazzling meteor.
It was blasted into powder in an instant, leaving only a piece of flying ice chips.
The storage room is filled with a rich caramel aroma, as if the entire space is dyed with a layer of sweetness.
Annan carefully untied the blood-stained bandage, his movements skillful and gentle.
Main was curled up on the ammunition box, the burn on her ankle was still bleeding, it was very heartbreaking to see.
This was an accident that happened during training during the day. She accidentally triggered the overload mode of the imperial weapon, which led to her injury.
When the ointment gently touched the wound, Marin subconsciously grabbed the corner of Annan’s clothes, and a look of pain appeared on her face.
“You cried much quieter than the first time you killed someone.”
Annan suddenly spoke, with a hint of teasing in his voice.
He held the metal fragment embedded in his flesh firmly with the tweezers in his hand and continued to recall:
“At that time, you were holding the Murasame sword, shaking like a fledgling in a storm, and you could hardly hold the sword steadily.”
The tips of Myne’s ears turned red instantly, like ripe cherries.
She certainly remembered the thrilling scene when the fat boy’s blood splashed on Annan’s mask.
It was he who gently wiped the blood off her face with his sleeve.
At this moment, Annan’s breath gently brushed over the old wounds on her knees, the scars that had been caused by stones.
There is a faint heat under the new pink skin, as if telling the past pain and growth.
“Why did you choose the pumpkin cannon?”
Mayin tried to change the subject, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.
“It’s obvious that Senior Chi Tong’s swordsmanship is better…”
“Because you need light.”
Annan interrupted her and stuffed a cup of steaming milk into her hand.
There are a few pumpkin-shaped sugar cubes at the bottom of the cup, which emit an enticing sweet aroma after being soaked in milk.
He looked into Myne’s eyes and said earnestly and firmly:
“People who grow up in darkness will either be swallowed by the shadow or become the spark that illuminates the shadow.
And I hope you are that Mars.
Don’t be swallowed by the darkness! You should have your own light! “
“My own light…!”
Hearing Annan’s words, Mayin’s expression also showed a slight change!
She never thought that one day she would have her own light!
But she knew that her light should belong to the young man in front of her!
The full moon hung high in the sky, casting a silvery light, shrouding the cemetery in a mysterious and quiet atmosphere.
This is the fixed place for their special training on full-moon nights. There are broken monuments everywhere, casting mottled shadows in the moonlight.
Maine held the pumpkin cannon in her hand, and the muzzle slowly swept across the broken monuments. A tense atmosphere filled the air.
“Southeast 34 degrees, wind speed 2, three moving targets.”
Annan’s voice was like the cry of a night owl, piercing the silence of the night sky and reaching Marin’s ears clearly.
The pumpkin cannon’s crosshairs glowed with brilliant rainbow light, as if foreshadowing the powerful force that was about to erupt.
However, at the moment when Main pulled the trigger, she suddenly froze.
Because at that moment, the target actually transformed into the faces of those bullies in my childhood.
The faces that had once brought her endless pain and fear now kept appearing before her eyes like ghosts.
Cold sweat instantly soaked her back and her hands began to tremble uncontrollably.
Just when Myne was in extreme tension and fear, a warm hand gently covered her trembling fingertips.
Annan’s breath instantly enveloped her figure, making her feel the long-lost sense of security.
“A cannonball can’t tell good from evil, but you can.”
Annan whispered in her ear, his voice low and powerful,
Like a bright light in the darkness, it illuminated the fear in Myne’s heart.
As if encouraged, Marin took a deep breath, steadied her trembling hands, and aimed at the target again.
Three rainbow lights tore through the night sky like lightning, flying into the distance with endless power and determination.
Almost at the same time, the sound of the mechanical targets set up by Annan breaking came from afar, crisp and loud.
It seems to be the best compliment to Marin’s success.
Marin turned around suddenly, and because she moved so quickly, her forehead hit the other person’s chin.
When they were so close that they could count each other’s eyelashes, she was surprised to find that
Deep in the pupil of Annan’s right eye flickered a golden light like an imperial weapon, mysterious and profound, as if hiding endless secrets.
“The live-fire mission will begin tomorrow.” Annan took a step back and his face returned to its usual calm.
He threw a piece of pumpkin candy into Myne’s slightly opened mouth, still immersed in surprise.
He half-jokingly said, “If you hit your own instep again, I’ll make you sweep the training ground for a month.”
New Moon Night, Storage Room
At this time, Myne was recording in her diary.
Since arriving at the Night Raid Base.
Maine developed the habit of keeping a diary.
She was writing in her diary at this moment.
“Annan changed the color of her headband tonight.”
“That refreshing color unexpectedly matches the rainbow light when the pumpkin cannon is fired, and it looks particularly beautiful.
It turns out that wounds itch when they heal, just like when he taught me how to use a sniper scope.
The warm breath gently brushed across the back of the neck, making it tingling and making the heart beat faster for no reason.
Senior Akahime said that every member of the Night Raid has something they must protect.
I often wonder, how many long dark nights and how many hardships and obstacles will my bullet have to go through before it can reach the bright light in his eyes? “
Chapter 15: Help Leone, the bold girl with waves and beast ears! (Old version)
In a corner of the imperial capital, the slums are like a scar emitting a foul smell and filled with a disgusting odor.
The autumn rain fell softly, and the stench was washed away by the rain and turned into thick mist.
It was like an lingering haze covering this dilapidated area.
Annan stood quietly under the eaves, his silver hair standing out in the dim light.
The rain slid down the eaves and formed a dense spider web in front of him.
He looked through the rain curtain and gazed at the execution ground three streets away.
That place was supposed to be the intersection of the revolutionary army’s informants, carrying the possibility of hope and change.
But at this moment, it has become a place for nobles to have fun, and their shrill laughter can be heard from time to time.
“Ten gold coins! How many bones can be broken this time!”
A drunken head popped out of a luxurious carriage with gold rims. The nobleman’s face was flushed and his eyes were filled with morbid excitement.
He whipped the reins hard on the backs of the three pure-blooded thestrals. The horses felt pain and pawed their hooves restlessly.
In front of the wheels, three thin figures were chained to the cold bluestone road.
The youngest girl was holding tightly in her arms a rabbit doll made of rags. The doll was worn out, but it seemed to be her last resort.
Annan looked at this scene, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes, and his pupils quietly turned golden.
The silver threads around his body seemed to have life, stirring and ready to shoot out at any time to punish these evil nobles.
However, just as he was about to take action, a lion’s roar suddenly exploded at the entrance of the alley, like a thunderbolt breaking through the dull and depressing rain curtain.
“How about betting your life?”
Along with this roar, a pair of golden animal ears stood up from the rain curtain.
Leone’s figure appeared in front of everyone in an instant like a flash of black lightning.
The Lion King belt around her waist hummed, exuding a mysterious and powerful aura.
Without hesitation, she rushed into the queue of carriages like a cannonball, so fast that people had almost no time to react.
The fine steel claws on her hands flashed with a cold light, and instantly tore open the throat of the first night star.
The warm blood rain sprayed out, just falling on the nobles’ snow-white lace scarves.
It adds a bloody touch to this luxurious scene.
Seeing this, Annan changed the direction of the silver thread that he was about to shoot and quickly entangled the fleeing children.
Want to take them away from this dangerous situation.
But at the moment of retracting the silver thread, he keenly noticed that Leone was unusual – her attack seemed wild and unrestrained,
Each time he swung his claws, he accurately avoided the position of the civilians.
It seemed that while venting his anger, he still maintained a rare rationality and calmness.
At this moment, when Leone’s fangs crushed the bearings of the second carriage,
A noble young master had quietly raised his flintlock rifle, with the black muzzle pointed at her defenseless back.
Just one pull of the trigger and Leone’s life would be in danger.
“Three o’clock.” Annan’s voice was low and calm, mixed in with the noisy sound of rain, but it was clearly heard by Leone.
Leone’s animal ears trembled slightly, and he reacted almost instantly.
She turned around and grabbed the corpse of the noble next to her, using it as a shield.
At the same time, Annan’s silver thread, like a silver lightning, quickly grabbed the hammer of the flintlock.
With a “bang”, the poisoned lead bullet missed and hit the blue brick wall, splashing sparks.
Then it corroded and emitted a hissing green smoke, and a pungent smell spread.
“Nosy little brother~”
Leone shook off the scraps of meat on his claws, and with a bit of curiosity and gratitude in his golden pupils, he looked at the shadow under the eaves.
“But thanks!”
The heavy rain gradually stopped and the two came to the underground tavern.
The dim kerosene lamp flickered with a weak light, illuminating their slightly tired figures.
Leone pushed a glass of beer in front of Annan, and accidentally,
He was found using silver thread to carefully sew up the abrasion on the little girl’s arm.
The moonlight leaked in through the narrow air vents, shining on his body and illuminating his slightly pursed lips under the mask.
Leone couldn’t help but feel a little disturbed.
But they are always different from the revolutionary army cadres who are high above.
The gentleness of this person in front of me is real and deep, like a calm lake.
But it can make people feel the endless warmth contained in it.
“Why don’t you run away?” Annan suddenly spoke, breaking the brief silence.
Leone’s glass stopped in mid-air. She followed the direction pointed by Annan’s fingertips.
I saw the old brand on my collarbone, which was the slave number of the Imperial City Arena.
But she was lucky enough to escape directly from the slave farm and hide in the slums.
Leone was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter, and his laughter made the glasses on the wine cabinet clink.
She recalled watching the nobles press the branding iron on her mother’s back when she was little.
My mother’s shrill screams seemed to still echo in my ears, and an uncontrollable anger and sadness surged in my heart.
“Because when I see the faces of those scum, I remember how they pressed the branding iron on my mother’s back.”
Her claws tightened unconsciously, crushing the wine glass in her hand. The amber wine mixed with blood.
Drop by drop, it fell on the bar, looking particularly dazzling under the light.
“But now—”
Annan looked at her quietly, without any surprise or pity in his eyes.
Because a woman like Leone doesn’t need pity!
They have their own self-esteem!
He just calmly slid the medicine bottle wrapped in silver thread to her hand and said in a steady voice: “
Now you smell the fear in the noble blood and tremble with excitement.”
He bandaged the wound of the last child, gently and skillfully,
As if he was accomplishing something extremely important, “Would you like to try a more valuable hunt?”
When Leone heard this, his tail suddenly stiffened.
For the past twenty years of her life, she has been struggling alone in the darkness.
No one has ever seen the trembling behind her laughter,
At this moment, this mysterious man not only saw it, but also brought warmth and hope.
When Annan took off his mask and wiped the blood, she caught a glimpse of the golden lines running down his neck.
The pattern seemed to have some mysterious power, and it resonated strangely with the imperial weapon on her waist.
It made her feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
“The base for the night raid has hot water showers available 24/7.”
Annan pushed a metal plate with a pumpkin relief across the table, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
“And a companion who can break the backbone of the nobles.”
The rhythm of the rain hitting the window frame gradually slowed down, and Leone’s claws slowly grasped the metal plate.
Feeling the cold touch from the metal plate. When the lion relief left a blood mark on the palm,
She raised her head and drank the remaining wine, having already made a decision in her heart. “Let me make it clear first, I snore when I sleep, steal food from my store, and I like to soak catnip in my wine.”
The corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing an uninhibited smile, as if saying goodbye to her past self.
“We just happen to be in need of an instructor who can teach Myne close combat.”
Annan’s silver thread was tied around Leone’s shoulder, forming a secret signal for a night attack. The silver thread was shining with a soft light, as if telling of a new beginning.
“Welcome to the gap between light and darkness, Miss Leone.”
Chapter 16: Soul Devouring Curse! Heart of Leone! (Old Version)
In the imperial capital.
The rain was pouring down like a river bursting its banks.
The bean-sized raindrops, carrying a strong smell of blood, heavily washed over the heavy bronze door knockers of the finance official’s residence.
Every impact is like fate knocking on the door of the unknown.
The lightning flashed, tearing the night sky like a silver snake, reflecting Annan’s light golden hair.
In this violent world, there was a cold blue light, revealing a sense of mystery and coldness.
He stood there quietly, staring at the dying guard under the eaves through his mask with eyes as sharp as a knife.
The guards were in a very strange state. Their pupils were slowly dilating and gradually turning into strange snake pupils.
It was obvious that they had taken the special “puppet potion” made by the minister’s men and had become zombies controlled by others.
“The breathing sounds in the southeast corridor are wrong.”
Leone said softly, her animal ears pressed tightly against the slippery stone wall, trying to catch the slightest sound.
Viscous liquid was dripping from the blood grooves on her claw gloves, and quickly merged into the ground under the impact of the rain.
“There are at least twenty living dead, and their heartbeats are three times slower than normal people’s.”
She added, her voice low and alert.
Annan nodded slightly, and the silver thread in his hand quietly stretched out and pierced into the ground.
Through contact with the floor tiles, he was keenly aware of the vibrations coming from underground.
After a moment, he said, “The real killer move is hidden in the mezzanine of the study. The heartbeat sounds… like a baby.”
The voice was calm, yet it seemed to penetrate the noise of the rainstorm.
Leone’s tail suddenly stood up, which was her instinctive reaction when she smelled deadly danger.
At the moment when the two men looked at each other, the stained glass windows of the finance official residence exploded, and countless poisonous bone spikes, accompanied by heavy rain, poured down like sharp arrows.
Annan reacted extremely quickly, with silver threads dancing rapidly above his head. In the blink of an eye, they formed a large star-shaped net that protected the two of them.
Leone’s whole body was filled with golden light, and he turned into a golden lightning and slammed into the main hall door.
“A wild dog that attacks at night is worthy of defiling my bedroom?”
The treasurer’s voice seemed to come from all directions, carrying endless anger and disdain.
Leone’s sharp claws tore open the velvet curtain, and the scene before her made her pupils suddenly contract.
In the luxurious gilded cradle, there were three babies curled up with tubes inserted into their bodies. Their spines were connected to the giant blood jade in the center of the room. The scene was weird and terrifying.
Annan’s silver thread suddenly trembled violently, his face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: “It’s the imperial tool experiment! The minister is indeed imitating the imperial tool manufacturing experiment!”
There was a hint of solemnity in Annan’s voice.
Leone’s fangs were clattering. She recognized the baby girl with a birthmark on her forehead.
Three months ago, the baby girl disappeared in the slums and became what the nobles called a “two-legged sheep”.
At this moment, the lion king’s belt burst into a scarlet light, but her sharp claws were hanging in front of the baby’s throat, trembling slightly.
“If you can’t do it, let me…”
“Shut up!” Leone’s roar shattered the crystal chandelier.
“I will free them myself!”
There was a flash of determination in her eyes.
However, the moment her claws pierced the baby’s skin, something strange happened.
Countless blood vessels stretched out from the blood jade, like flexible snakes, instantly wrapping around her limbs.
At the same time, the treasurer’s true form burst out from the baby’s head. It was a tumorous monster with compound eyes all over its body.
A strange light flashed in the densely packed compound eyes, and the bone blade that protruded from the mouthparts flashed with cold light, piercing Leone’s heart.
“Stupid lion!” Annan exclaimed, and the silver thread wrapped around the bone blade at the critical moment.
The gilded lines spread wildly along the silk thread, trying to resist the monster’s attack.
But the moment it came into contact with the tumor, it began to corrode with a sizzling sound, and a pungent smell filled the air.
Annan suddenly threw Leone behind him, but his right chest was pierced by the bone blade, and the blood instantly dyed his clothes red.
The bloody rain was reflected in Leone’s pupils.
She saw that Annan’s blood was not red, but a silver-blue with starlight;
I saw his silver threads crushing the skulls of the three babies at the center of the formation with great precision despite the severe pain; I saw the Treasurer let out an inhuman scream as his tumorous body turned to ashes in the starlight.
There was a damp smell in the underground wine cellar.
The pumpkin lantern given by Marin cast a warm glow in the corner, bringing a touch of comfort to this dark space.
Leone’s claws crushed the hemostatic gauze for the third time.
She looked at the penetrating wound on Annan’s chest. The wound was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, but the new flesh and blood was covered with strange black spells.
“It’s the Soul Devouring Curse of the Soul Devouring Imperial Tool.” Annan’s voice was a little hoarse.
The star tattoo on the side of his neck was fighting fiercely against the spell, emitting a faint light.
“It will take three months before it’s fatal.”
He added, in a calm tone, as if he were talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
Leone’s tail slapped the oak barrel anxiously.
Suddenly, she ripped her wrists open with her fangs.
The blood mixed with orc blood dripped onto the spell, making a hissing sound like ice and fire.
“Using my blood as a medicine, it can temporarily suppress…” she said anxiously.
“unnecessary.
“Annan held her wrist and gently sutured the wound with silver thread. His eyes were gentle as he looked at Leone and said softly:
“I’d rather hear your mother’s story than this.”
Leone’s animal ears suddenly stood up.
This was the first time in twenty years that someone had seen through the wounds hidden beneath her claws.
When Annan’s silver hair gently brushed across the slave brand on her collarbone, those deliberately forgotten memories surged out like a flood.
She seemed to see her mother again, chained in the middle of the arena, surrounded by a group of nobles betting crazily.
They gambled recklessly on how many hungry wolves their mother could withstand.
“Before she died she made me swear…”
Leone dug his claws deep into Annan’s uninjured left shoulder, his voice choking with a hint of sobs, “I want to live to see the empire fall.”
Annan’s silver threads formed a star array, enveloping the two in soft light. He looked at Leone with a firm gaze and said solemnly:
“Then make a blood oath with me – I will let you witness with your own eyes the flames of purgatory burning down the imperial capital.”
In the rainstorm before dawn, two fast horses broke through the blockade of the imperial guards like arrows.
Leone’s tail tightly wrapped around Annan’s waist, feeling the battle between the curse and the starlight in his body.
When the first ray of sunlight pierced through the dark clouds, she suddenly bit Annan’s earlobe and said half-jokingly and half-seriously:
“If you dare to die in the imperial capital, I will weave your silver threads into a wedding dress and parade your body around the imperial capital for three days.”
Annan laughed softly, and the vibration of his chest was transmitted to her heart.
“Then Ms. Laureone will be the widow.” He teased, with a hint of laughter in his voice.
Behind them the spire of the Treasury House collapsed.
The blood jade fragments turned into ashes in the sunlight, and one of them fell on Leone’s claws.
Condensed into a never-fading gilded emblem – that is the totem of the Night Raid Team 7,
It is also a witness to the intertwined fates of the two people. Under the sunlight, it flickers with a strange light…
Chapter 17: Mission! Meet Chelsea! (Old Version)
[In the days that followed, you got along with three girls with very different personalities: Akame, Mine, and Leone.
You strolled together on the quiet path, sharing your own interesting stories and feeling the gentle breeze caressing you;
Sitting around a warm campfire, enjoying delicious food, laughter echoed in the night sky.
These pleasant, warm and interesting moments are like shining pearls.
It connects the deep friendship between you and makes your feelings for each other grow stronger without you even realizing it. 】
[That day, the sun gently shines on the base of the night attack.
Najeshitan, the leader of the night raid, walked up to you with a serious look and handed an important task to you.
In order to ensure the successful completion of the mission, you decide to take Akahime, Mine, and Leona with you. 】
The morning mist has not yet completely dissipated, like a layer of gauze covering the entire world.
Annan sat at the table, his slender fingertips gently stroking the raised wax seal on the parchment scroll, making a slight sound.
The floor plan of the prefect’s mansion appears vaguely in the hot steam rising from the tea, as if carrying a mysterious aura.
Akahime stood aside, her posture erect, the tip of her knife sliding slowly along the drainage route.
His eyes were focused and determined, as if he was simulating various courses of action in his mind.
Leone leaned lazily in the chair, and flexibly rolled up the third piece of honey pie with his tail, his movements were skillful and natural.
“Three quarters after noon, in the dress shop in the east.”
Annan’s voice broke the silence, and he threw the Star Stone to Leone.
The Star Stone drew a graceful arc in the air and was caught steadily by Leone.
“The target will go pick out a dress for the birthday party.”
“In that case, let’s go there and wait for the rabbit to come!”
Leone straightened her proud figure, her breasts surging.
She reached out and wiped the remaining honey from the corners of her mouth, her tone full of confidence and expectation.
“Leave one piece for me! Humph!”
Maine watched Leone’s tail curl up the last piece of honey.
His eyes widened and he immediately protested, his face full of dissatisfaction and grievance.
“Indeed, we can go scout the terrain first!”
Chi Tong nodded slightly, her voice steady and calm. She felt that this method was very feasible.
It is vital to be fully prepared for the upcoming action.
“In that case, let’s go take a look and have a look!”
Annan agreed with a smile, his eyes revealing a hint of anticipation, as if he had already seen the scene after the mission was successful.
The silks in the East Market are shining under the scorching sun.
It is glowing with charming light, like flowing colorful clouds.
Annan dressed as a foreign merchant, wearing gorgeous and unique clothes, wiping a glass cup in his hand, which sparkled with colorful light under the sunlight.
Chi Tong was wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat, and was completely hidden in the shadows.
Three poisoned daggers were hidden under the hat, flashing with cold light, as if ready to deal a fatal blow to the enemy at any time.
When the governor’s luxurious carriage slowly stopped in front of the dress shop, the atmosphere around seemed to become tense.
The carriage was pulled by several tall and strong horses, and the body of the carriage was carved with exquisite patterns, highlighting the owner’s noble status.
Leone suddenly poked Annan’s lower back with his claws, his movements quick and stealthy.
“Look at that girl trying on rouge.”
She opened her mouth slightly and her fangs crushed the almond candy, making a crisp sound.
Then he whispered to Annan, his voice as soft as the breeze.
“She doesn’t look like an ordinary customer! She looks more like one of our colleagues!”
Annan followed Leone’s gaze and indeed spotted the girl in the distance.
She was a long-haired beautiful girl eating candy. She often wore headphones and wore British-style clothes.
The unique outfit made her stand out in the crowd. Annan recognized her at first sight. It was Chelsea!
At this moment, Chelsea gently touched her red lips in front of the bronze mirror and gently applied the rouge in her hand on her lips.
It added a bit of glamour to her already beautiful face.
The Gaia foundation in her sleeve was slightly hot, as if it was also gathering strength for the upcoming action.
She sneaked into the market this morning as a flower girl. She was holding flowers in her hands, walking among the crowd with a sweet smile on her face.
However, my heart was vigilantly observing everything around me.
At this moment, the sobbing of the girl in the woodshed was still echoing in her ears. The sound was like a haze, shrouding her heart.
That was a girl she met last night. After being dragged into the prefect’s room, she couldn’t bear the humiliation and ran to the woodshed and committed suicide last night.
Chelsea originally worked in the government and had been exposed to some of the darkness of the imperial government.
But when those bloody facts were laid out before her, her heart was filled with shock and pity.
Those dark scenes kept appearing in her mind like nightmares.
Thinking of this, her eyes became firm, and she decided to use her own abilities and hands.
To change this dark world and let the light of justice illuminate every corner.
“Sir, would you like to see the newly arrived exotic animal fur?”
Chelsea turned around and pretended to bump into Annan’s arms accidentally. The jasmine scent of the illusion foundation instantly penetrated into the other’s nose.
The elegant fragrance is intoxicating.
Annan’s silver thread quickly emerged from her sleeves and wrapped around her hidden dagger like a nimble snake. Her movements were smooth and flawless.
However, he smiled warmly, as if nothing had happened: “This piece of moonlit satin is just right for the girl’s eyes.”
Chelsea felt that the dagger in her hand was tightly wrapped by Annan and she couldn’t break free.
She was startled and realized that she had met a powerful opponent.
She looked up at Annan again, who was smiling, and saw that his eyes were deep, as if he knew everything.
Chelsea knew that this time she had met a colleague, and a very powerful one at that!
At this moment, Chi Tong’s scabbard tapped against the beam, making a crisp sound, and the governor had stepped into the store.
Following him in came a row of imperial soldiers in fine armor.
They marched in step, with alert eyes, always protecting the safety of the prefect.
Soon the entire dress shop was cleared out, customers and staff were driven out one after another, and the atmosphere in the store became depressing and tense.
At this moment, Chelsea’s fingertips drew circles in Annan’s palm to say goodbye. Her movements were gentle and graceful, as if she was dancing a beautiful dance.
She turned and blended into the crowd, moving quickly and agilely like a nimble deer, and soon disappeared outside the store.
At this time, Annan reached out and picked up the handkerchief she dropped. The handkerchief was soft and had a faint fragrance.
Looking closely, there seems to be a special marking symbol…
Chapter 18: Assassination in the Dark! Rescue Chelsea! (Old Version)
The night was dark, and the sound of the midnight drum and the chirping of cicadas added a touch of weirdness to this already restless night.
Annan, along with Akato, Maine and Leone, moved silently through the shadows, heading straight for the governor’s mansion.
Their figures flashed by in the moonlight like ghosts, and soon they arrived outside the prefect’s study.
Annan raised his hand, and the silver thread stretched out like a nimble snake, silently piercing the bolt of the study door.
With a creaky sound, the door slowly opened and a strong smell of blood rushed to the face. Everyone immediately became alert.
The governor was seen lying on a luxurious gilded couch with a jade hairpin inserted in his chest.
It flickered coldly in the dim light.
Chi Tong recognized it at a glance; it was exactly what Chelsea wore on her head during the day.
“Huh? Someone got here before us!”
Chi Tong frowned slightly, and a hint of surprise and vigilance flashed in her eyes.
She keenly felt that the mysterious killer should not have gone far, and his scent seemed to still linger in the air.
“Maybe there are other clues!”
As Chi Tong spoke, the knife in his hand flashed, and the sharp knife wind split the gauze curtain.
In an instant, there was a loud “boom” and the puppet mechanism exploded, and the entire prefectural mansion was suddenly brightly lit.
Immediately afterwards, three hundred imperial soldiers poured in from outside the palace like a tide, and their poisoned arrows flashed coldly in the moonlight, illuminating everything around them.
At this moment, Chelsea was turning into a carving on the beam, and cold sweat had already soaked through the illusion foundation.
This also allowed her to quickly reveal herself in front of the soldiers.
“Catch that witch!” the captain of the guards roared, pointing the tip of his knife straight at the beam.
Chelsea was forced to reveal her true form and jump down. The hem of her skirt instantly turned into a falcon in the air, rushing towards the night sky.
However, the dense rain of arrows was like a net of death, instantly forcing her back into human form.
Just as Chelsea staggered and was about to fall into the lotus pond.
Annan’s silver thread was like a net of light, woven rapidly and catching the arrows in the sky.
“Catch it!” Leone’s voice came from the east wall, and her claws tore through the wall.
Throw the Lion King Belt into the air with all your strength.
The moment Chelsea’s foundation touched the beast’s blood, it miraculously transformed into Leone’s appearance.
The two “animal-eared girls” stood back to back and fought fiercely with the enemy, with swords and sabers flashing everywhere.
Chi Tong seized the opportunity, and the blade swept across like lightning, cutting off the winch of the crossbow.
Annan concentrated on weaving silver threads into a star map on the governor’s body, and the puppet curse was visible under the moonlight.
“Go save those girls in the dungeon! Leave this to me!”
Annan’s voice was firm and powerful, ringing like a huge bell.
At the same time, Chelsea held his injured ankle and huddled behind the rockery with difficulty.
The illusion foundation had run out of energy and she could no longer maintain her disguise.
The sound of the pursuers’ iron boots was getting closer and closer, and every step stepped on her nervous heartbeat.
Just when she felt desperate, a strand of silver thread with gold-plated patterns suddenly wrapped around her waist.
Annan appeared beside her in an instant like a flash of black lightning, picked her up, and jumped onto the roof in a few jumps.
He shook the long sword in his hand, and countless dazzling sword lights burst out, instantly forcing back all the pursuers.
“Don’t breathe too fast.” Annan looked at the wound on Chelsea’s foot, his tone gentle but with unquestionable strength.
He took out a special healing potion from his pocket.
He applied the ointment to her with skillful movements.
“Gaia foundation is most sensitive to mood swings.”
Chelsea stared at the boy in front of her, even though his mask covered half of his face.
But it still can’t hide his handsomeness and elegance.
A sense of familiarity surged in her heart, as if she remembered the young man she had met during the day.
Looking at the gilded pupils shaking under Annan’s mask, Chelsea’s thoughts drifted away involuntarily.
I heard the crying of the girl in the woodshed last night, the hustle and bustle of the market this morning, and the aroma of herbs lingering around my nose at this moment.
These images flashed through her mind like a revolving lantern.
Her last bit of attachment to the aristocratic dream was completely crushed.
Soon, the roars of the pursuers suddenly turned into screams.
Leone’s claws strung five iron helmets together, like a nimble cheetah leaping onto the roof.
Blood was dripping from the tip of Akato’s knife, while Mine was providing steady sniper support from a distance.
Under the moonlight, the four people jumped out of the high wall nimbly like a group of black flying birds.
Chelsea tightly grasped Annan’s collar.
There was a special scented handkerchief that she had “left behind” during the day.
It was as if that was her only warmth and support in this chaos and killing…
Chapter 19: Chelsea’s New Life! New Partner! (Old Version)
The night was as thick as ink. The bonfire at the night raid base was burning brightly. The jumping flames illuminated Chelsea’s bloodless face.
Her eyes were fixed on Annan’s fingers, the thin silver thread moving flexibly between Chitong’s arrow wounds.
The movements were gentle and steady, and each one seemed to carry a soothing force.
This scene was a far cry from the cold, cruel torture instruments she had seen in the governor’s study.
It caused ripples in her heart.
“Why save me?” Chelsea’s voice trembled slightly.
She tightly grasped the Phantom Foundation in her hand, her knuckles turning white from the force.
“I’m just a useless vase with blood on my hands.”
Her tone was full of self-deprecation and doubt. In her past understanding,
People like me with blood on my hands do not deserve salvation.
Annan did not answer immediately, but rolled up a cup of hot tea with silver thread and gently handed it to her with an elegant and calm movement.
The steaming tea exudes a warm aroma, which seems particularly tempting in this cold night.
“We are saving the future, a sharp blade that can save more people.”
Annan’s voice was low and firm, and seemed to have a magical power to reassure people.
Chelsea took the teacup subconsciously, the hot steam of the tea blurred her vision.
The blood-stained hem of her kimono was reflected, with a straw butterfly woven by a peasant woman pinned to it.
In the light of the fire, it seemed a little out of place, yet full of warmth.
Suddenly, Leone slammed the Shape-shifting Foundation onto the table with a sharp and powerful movement.
The gilded rings on the animal’s ears jingled as she moved, making a particularly harsh sound in the silent night.
“How about using this thing to transform into my appearance and drug Annan?
He is most defenseless when he is taking a medicinal bath…”
Leone said half-jokingly, with a sly gleam in his eyes.
“Leone.”
Akahima’s voice was cold and calm. Her scabbard tapped the ground lightly, making a dull sound.
The eavesdropping Ma Yin on the beam was shaken off and she fell to the ground in embarrassment.
This caused everyone to laugh, and the tense atmosphere eased a little.
Chelsea’s mouth corners slightly raised, and she chuckled, but that laughter was mixed with tears.
A crystal teardrop slid down her cheek.
It dripped into the teacup in front of him, creating a circle of small ripples.
When Annan’s silver hair gently wiped the blood from her temples, Chelsea finally saw the stars in the man’s eyes.
That is not the hypocritical, lofty starry sky of the nobles,
It is the fireflies that can illuminate the dark abyss, warm and bright,
It made her feel touched and at peace like never before.
At this moment, Maine’s pumpkin cannon suddenly aimed at Chelsea’s eyebrows. The black muzzle exuded a cold breath, which made people shudder.
“Tell me! Are you a spy for the Imperial Minister?”
Myne’s eyes were full of vigilance and suspicion, and her voice was sharp and rapid.
Myne stared at Chelsea, her eyes revealing deep distrust, her finger on the trigger.
If anything goes wrong, she will pull the trigger without hesitation.
“She is not a spy, although she did work for the Imperial government for a period of time.”
Annan’s voice was neither hurried nor slow, steady and powerful.
“But now she has seen the corruption and darkness of the empire!”
Annan’s eyes were firm and his tone was full of trust.
After hearing Annan’s explanation, Mayin reluctantly put down the pumpkin cannon in her hand, but the doubt in her eyes had not completely disappeared.
Chelsea, who was standing next to him, was filled with confusion and surprise when she heard Annan’s words.
She never imagined that this handsome and mysterious young man in front of her knew her past so well.
“And her imperial weapon ability is illusion, which is very useful for our reconnaissance and assassination!”
Annan continued, looking towards Chelsea with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
As Annan’s words fell, Chelsea immediately understood what he meant and showed his strength at the right time.
The illusion foundation in her hand flashed, and she instantly transformed into the appearance of Chi Tong, with swift and smooth movements.
She held the sharp blade firmly against Myne’s chin and asked coldly:
“Do you believe it now?” The voice was imitated so vividly that if one was not familiar with Chi Tong, it would be difficult to tell the difference.
While everyone was still in a daze, Chelsea instantly returned to her original appearance, with a sly smile on her face, and said playfully:
“But I can never imitate the warmth of Mr. Annan’s silver hair.”
There was a hint of regret in her tone, but it was also cute in a different way.
Seeing this, Leone excitedly swept his tail, directly overturning the tea table, and the tea sets on the table were scattered all over the floor, making a crisp collision sound.
She stretched out her claws, pinched Chelsea’s chin, and looked her up and down, her eyes full of love:
“I want this kitten! Next time you’re on a mission, pretend to be me and steal Annan’s medicinal bath formula…”
Leone said carelessly, with a hearty laugh.
Akahime, who was listening nearby, silently added new training items to the training plan.
She knew that although Chelsea had powerful imperial abilities,
But there is still a lot of room for improvement in combat skills and teamwork.
Three days later, the news of the prefect’s sudden death spread quickly throughout the province like a gust of wind.
People were talking about it, full of speculation and curiosity about the cause of the prefect’s death.
Chelsea stood at the side of the night raid training ground, the sun shining on her, reflecting her graceful figure.
She slowly took off the pearl hairpin in her hair and replaced it with the star-shaped silver hairpin given by Annan.
The hairpin glowed softly in the sunlight, as if carrying the warmth and trust of everyone at night.
When her shape-shifting foundation transformed into Leone’s appearance and quietly launched a sneak attack on Annan,
The real beast-eared girl was sitting on the roof leisurely, holding a grass root in her mouth.
He watched all this with great interest, his eyes full of playful smiles.
“No matter how perfect the illusion is…”
Annan’s voice suddenly sounded in Leone’s ears.
Then, the silver thread quickly wrapped around Leone’s waist like a nimble snake.
The movements are quick and accurate.
The next second, Annan’s true form appeared behind Chelsea.
It was as if it suddenly appeared from the air.
“But that can’t hide the scent of evening primrose on you.”
Annan’s voice was filled with a hint of smile, and he spoke gently into Chelsea’s ear.
Chelsea’s illusion instantly collapsed, and a blush instantly appeared on her face.
The blush quickly spread from the tips of her ears to her collarbone, making her look shy and cute.
She never expected that her carefully prepared sneak attack would be so easily seen through by Annan.
When she turned around to escape from this embarrassing scene, she found that the hem of her skirt was tied with silver thread with the gilded emblem of Night Raid.
The pattern is exquisite and gorgeous, sparkling with golden light in the sun.
It quietly overlapped with her treasured straw butterfly, as if it was fate that closely linked her and the night raid together.
Chelsea stood there quietly in the moonlight after a rainstorm.
The breeze gently blew through her hair, and tears sparkled in her eyes.
It was touching and joyful.
At this moment, the new shapeshifter finally found a treasure more precious than noble jewels – it was a trust, a warmth, and a home that truly belonged to her…
Chapter 20: Redemption in the Rain! Xier! (Old Version)
The imperial capital was hit by heavy rain, like a river bursting its banks and pouring down.
The rain hit the ground wantonly, carrying with it the stench of the sewers, forming a sticky and disgusting mist.
It permeated the entire dim space, like a thick veil of death.
Chi Tong shuttled through this harsh environment like a ghost, her figure was light and her footsteps were silent.
The sharp blade in her hand flashed coldly in the darkness. As she quietly approached the seventh sentry,
Without any hesitation, the blade accurately and quickly cut the opponent’s throat.
Blood spurted out and instantly merged into the damp and smelly air.
At the same time, three hundred meters away, Main was half-kneeling on the ground, concentrating on operating her pumpkin cannon.
The powerful weapon was now emitting a low humming sound, and energy was constantly gathering and storing at the muzzle, waiting for the order to burst out with devastating power.
With her powerful strength, Leone transformed her hands into sharp claws and tore open the rusty iron gate.
Just as she was about to rush in, Chelsea was quick to grab her tail.
Leone was about to explode, but he followed Chelsea’s gaze and looked at the reflection of the dark river.
All I saw was a cold light of a huge pair of scissors passing over everyone’s head at an extremely fast speed, like the scythe of the god of death, carrying a deadly threat.
Xier suddenly rushed out of the darkness like a purple lightning.
Her long purple hair fluttered freely in the wind and rain like a nimble snake.
The “Severance of All Things” in his hand emitted a strange purple light, illuminating the already gloomy sewer like a netherworld.
The figures of the people who attacked at night were reflected in her purple pupils, and her eyes were both determined and a little confused.
When she waved the scissors and bit hard at the stone pillar that Chelsea had transformed into, Annan’s silver thread instantly wrapped around her ankle like a nimble snake.
“The daughter of the tailor shop on East Street,” Annan’s voice came through the dense rain, with a sense of insight.
“Are you still killing people for dead butterfly hair accessories?”
Xier’s scissors suddenly stopped in the air and her body trembled slightly.
In an instant, the unbearable memories came flooding back to her like a surging tide.
On that rainy night, with thunder and lightning, five thugs broke into her world. They laughed and cursed, wantonly trampling on everything she cherished, and one of them crushed the butterfly brooch she had carefully sewn for her friend.
The crisp shattering sound seemed like the sound of her inner world collapsing.
Anger and despair intertwined in her heart, making her lose her mind.
She picked up the scissors and stabbed the thugs frantically. When she pierced the eyeball of the last man with the scissors, she looked at the blood-stained cloth, the color was more gorgeous than the wedding dress.
At that moment, her hands were covered in blood, and she embarked on a path of revenge from then on.
Leone seized the opportunity and swung his claws fiercely, blowing off Xier’s hood and revealing her long purple hair.
Myne quickly pointed the gun at Xier’s trembling wrist, her voice firm and powerful:
“Your talent for killing could have been used to protect more people!”
“Shut up!” Xier roared angrily, with a hint of hysteria in her voice.
The scissors in her hand madly shredded Annan’s silver thread, and the purple light surged, like a ferocious venomous snake, rushing towards everyone.
“What do you talented guys know!”
At this moment, her attack became chaotic, and the scissors cut deep grooves on the ground.
However, the recurrence of her old injury on her right leg was fully exposed in this panicked attack.
Chi Tong’s eyes flashed, and her scabbard was like a black lightning, hitting Xier’s knee accurately.
At the same time, Annan’s silver threads quickly formed into a dense spider web, tightly binding Xier inside.
The bound Xi’er struggled frantically, the stitches on her neck burst open, blood splattered everywhere, and fell on the dim ground:
“Kill me! Just like they killed my parents!”
Her voice was filled with despair and pain, like a wild beast trapped in a cage, letting out its final wail.
“What you really want to cut off,” Annan said calmly, slowly cutting open his left wrist. The gilded blood slowly flowed out and seeped into the stitches on Xier’s neck.
“Is it the thread of fate that is trapping me?”
An illusion suddenly appeared before Xier’s eyes.
She saw her fifteen-year-old self, standing in the familiar tailor shop.
The warm sunlight shone on her through the window. The silver scissors in her hand moved briskly on the cloth, cutting the star-like cloth.
The guests who once laughed at her clumsiness were now turned into puppets, and were burned to ashes under the shining stars.
“Your scissors were supposed to cut hope.”
Annan’s silver thread gently repaired her broken wounds, her voice was gentle but firm.
“Like when you sew a butterfly brooch for a good friend.”
At this moment, the sewer suddenly shook violently.
It turned out that the Imperial demolition soldiers had ignited the tung oil, and the violent explosion caused the entire space to shake.
Upon seeing this, Chelsea immediately transformed into Xier’s appearance and rushed into the enemy camp without hesitation, attracting the enemy’s firepower.
Leone was not to be outdone and let out a deafening roar. The sound waves were like an invisible force that collapsed the enemy’s escape route.
Chi Tong took advantage of the chaos and quickly pulled up Xi’er who was in a trance, but found that the scissors in her hand were unconsciously trimming Annan’s torn cloak.
It was an almost instinctive sewing action, as if at this moment, her deep yearning for beautiful things was reawakened.
Risking huge conflict, they finally made it out!
At this time, the medicine pool of the night attack base was steaming with dreamy starlight. Xier sat quietly by the pool, staring blankly at her own reflection in the water.
“Why did you save me?” Xier gently stroked the butterfly emblem that Ye Xi had just cast on the scissors, with a hint of confusion in her voice, “I can’t even cut clothes crookedly…”
Like a naughty elf, Mayin suddenly hung down from the beam, and the tip of her hair gently brushed Xier’s nose:
“But your death cut is perfect! Last week’s mission…”
“Main.” Chi Tong’s scabbard tapped Main’s forehead gently, and then handed her a tailor’s bag embroidered with star patterns, “Annan’s cloak needs to be repaired.”
Xier subconsciously took the tailor’s bag, and the scissors in her hand instinctively shuttled between the silver thread and the cloth.
At this time, Leone came over and gently pressed her paw on Xier’s shoulder: “Little tailor, do you want to add a butterfly buckle to my belt?”
The heavy rain still hit the window frames violently, making a rhythmic sound.
In this noisy rainy night, Ye Xi welcomed a most special tailor – Xier.
Her scissors can both cut out death and sew light.
Annan looked at the star and moon pattern gradually taking shape on the cloak, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised into an imperceptible arc.
In Xier’s eyes, the purple light left by the fight in the sewer,
It is slowly transforming into the golden color of protection, which is the color of hope and rebirth…
Chapter 21: Desperate Situation – The Sorrow of Broken Dragon Cliff! (Old Version)
[Through your efforts, you have gathered all the members of the Night Raid Team! You have brought them together to fight for the liberation of the entire empire! ][You train together, go on missions together, and your feelings for each other deepen over time! ][Because of your redemption and salvation, they are full of trust, confidence, and other emotions towards you! ][But you only understood these in your mind and did not choose to tell them clearly. After all, at this moment, liberating the empire was the most important thing in your heart! Romance matters had to take a back seat!][On this day, you received a mission, but due to incorrect intelligence, you were surrounded by the enemy. This was also the most dangerous mission of yours! ]Broken Dragon Cliff, a tall cliff!
The rain poured down like a river bursting its banks, raging wildly over Broken Dragon Cliff.
Each raindrop carries tremendous force, smashing into the ground and creating thousands of cracks.
It seemed as if even the sky was torn apart by the violent rain.
The howling wind swept in, blowing the trees on the cliff toppled over and over, making painful creaking sounds.
On the battlefield, the sound of fighting was deafening. Akahime held the Murasame in her hand, her eyes cold and determined, the sword seemed to be integrated with her.
When it split the throat of the thirteenth hunter, the splashing blood drew a terrible arc in the rain.
However, Akagi was also extremely exhausted at this time, as if telling of the brutality of this battle.
Myne held the pumpkin cannon tightly, the barrel was as red as a branding iron, emitting billowing hot steam in the rainstorm.
Every time energy is stored, hot steam splashes out with a sizzling sound.
Her face was full of fatigue and determination. The rain slid down her cheeks and mixed with sweat and blood.
“The ice on the river is about to collapse!” Leone’s voice rang out in the rain, sharp and rapid.
She was agile and her claws flashed with cold light, instantly tearing into pieces the two-headed hound that pounced on Xier.
The tail was like a tough whip, it rolled up the frozen Main and swung her towards the ferry.
Her golden pupils were bloodshot, and the Lion King belt around her waist made a harsh metallic fatigue sound, as if it would break at any time.
The scissors in Xier’s hand burst out with a strange purple light, and the giant scissors crushed the two heavily armored cavalrymen with the force of thunder.
The blood flowed into her fingers along the grooves of the scissors, warm and sticky.
At this moment, she suddenly heard the crisp sound of cloth tearing. The sound was like a sharp knife, piercing straight into her heart.
It was the same sound when the thugs tore my friend’s skirt apart that night when I was fifteen.
The past came flooding back to her mind, and fear and anger mixed in her heart.
“What are you daydreaming about?” Annan’s voice rang in her ears.
Then, silver threads wrapped around her ankles like lightning and pulled her away from where she was.
Almost at the same time, three armor-piercing arrows swooshed into the ground where she had just stood. The arrowheads sank into the soil, and the arrow tails trembled slightly in the wind and rain.
Xier looked up and saw that under the man’s broken mask, starlight patterns were climbing up his neck and cheeks, like a burning galaxy, mysterious and magnificent.
Under the continuous bombardment of artillery fire, the ice let out a dying wail, as if it were the whimper of the earth.
The ice bridge in the distance collapsed instantly after being hit by a rocket.
Ice chips flew everywhere, flashing coldly in the rain. At this critical moment,
Annan’s silver thread was like a white lightning, quickly weaving into a light net and steadily catching his falling companion.
Main’s artillery fire blasted huge gaps in the river surface, causing splashes of water several feet high.
Akame wielded the Murasame, the blade blew fiercely, breaking the floating ice and clearing a way for everyone.
The cold river water splashed on her face, but she was unaware of it, and there was only firm belief in her eyes.
“Take them away!” Annan’s voice resounded throughout the battlefield, firm and resolute. His silver thread pierced his heart, and instantly, gilded blood slowly flowed out along the thread, like a string of dazzling gems, lighting up the entire riverbank.
The star map tattoo detached from his skin, slowly floated into the air, and turned into a curtain of light that enveloped the ferry.
The light curtain flickered with a mysterious glow, forming a sharp contrast with the dark sky and the turbulent river.
Ma Yin looked at this scene, her eyes filled with fear and reluctance. She cried desperately, but her voice was ruthlessly drowned out by the thunder.
She struggled to jump out of the cabin and wanted to return to Annan, but Chitong was quick-witted and knocked her out with the handle of a knife.
Chi Tong’s hands trembled slightly, and her face was full of pain and helplessness. She knew that this was to keep Marin alive.
Leone’s claws tore apart the pterosaur cavalry that rushed towards him again and again, and the steel claws collided with the ribs of the monsters, making a harsh sound.
Finally, in a fierce confrontation, the steel claw broke between the monster’s ribs.
She spat out half of her broken fangs, blood flowing down the corner of her mouth, and roared at the light curtain:
“You dare to die! I haven’t taught you how to comb a lion’s mane yet!”
Her voice was crying and echoed in the wind and rain, full of resentment and anger.
Xier suddenly jumped out of the cabin, and the purple light that cut everything in half was like a sharp sword, tearing through the rain curtain.
When the scissors pierced through the hunter’s chest, she saw Annan’s relieved smile under the broken mask.
Exactly the same as when he used silver thread to suture her wound that night.
That smile was like a beam of warm light, which brought her a little comfort in this cold battlefield, but also made her heart suddenly tighten.
“Go back!” Annan’s silver thread wrapped around her waist, but the strength was a hundred times gentler than before, as if it carried endless tenderness and reluctance.
Xier cut the thread with her backhand, but found stardust floating at the broken end. She asked in horror: “Your power… is disappearing?”
However, the sound of the Imperial heavy crossbow’s winch crushed the last of the conversation.
The moment Annan turned around, Xier saw spider-web-like cracks all over his back, and golden light poured out from the cracks like broken stars.
The light illuminated the dark battlefield, but it also foreshadowed the imminent end of his life.
When the light curtain was ruthlessly swallowed by the black tide, the ferry was rushing down the thousand-foot waterfall.
The fast-flowing water carried the ferry boat, like a fallen leaf struggling in the waves.
Ma Yin woke up from the turbulence. She looked around and found that Annan was not there.
In an instant, a heart-wrenching cry came out of her mouth, shaking off the snow on the cliff.
Chelsea’s illusion-shaped foundation box rolled onto the deck, and the melted paste drew a distorted star map on the board, as if a silent record of the disaster.
Akame’s demon sword pierced into the deck, and the blade reflected the blood dripping from Leone’s ears.
The lion’s golden eyes faded into a cloudy amber, her claws dug deep into the wood grain, and she muttered to herself:
“He said… he will braid a new mane ring for me next month…”
His voice was full of loss and sadness, as if he had lost the most important thing in his life.
Xier knelt at the stern, the blade that cut everything in half reflected her empty pupils.
The tip of the scissors was unconsciously carving on the deck. That was the first astrological symbol Annan taught her.
The icy water soaked through the silver threads she had sewn into her lapels, the threads that had once entangled her wounds.
At this moment, it is turning into a point of light and dissipating in the rapids.
Just like Annan’s life, it gradually fades away and can never come back…
Chapter 22: Memory Awakening, Simulation Reward! (Old Version)
[The world simulation of Killing Scarlet Eyes has ended! ][Current completion rate 46%! ][Simulated Link Characters: Akame, Kurome, Myne, Leone, Chelsea, and Seele! ][Reward: Simulated memory of all currently linked characters (automatically synchronized to character memory! Character memory will be awakened later!)
Rewards: Thousand Silver Threads, Demon Sword Murasame, Romantic Pumpkin Cannon, Lion King Belt, Gaia Foundation, Cut Everything in Two with One Cut! 】
In the quiet wilderness of the real alien world, the campfire emits a faint warm light, trying to resist the surrounding darkness.
Annan sat quietly by the campfire and slowly opened his eyes.
From entering the simulation world to returning to this moment, it only takes a second.
But for him, this second seemed like countless years.
His eyes slowly swept over everything under the night sky. The darkness in the distance was as deep as an endless abyss.
He couldn’t help but fall into deep thought. What kind of changes would this simulated experience bring to himself and the people around him?
At this moment, Annan’s eyes met the red eyes of the man on guard.
Chi Tong, the girl who usually had cold eyes, felt her heart tremble suddenly when she looked at An Nan.
Her eyes suddenly became panic-stricken, like a frightened deer, and she wanted to hide away immediately.
Her heartbeat suddenly quickened, and the simulated memory of everything she had experienced with Annan emerged involuntarily in her mind.
Those were the bits and pieces of her time with Annan. Those emotions and experiences she had never experienced before made her feel strange and scared.
She didn’t know how to deal with this sudden emotion and could only choose to escape…
Annan keenly noticed Chitong’s strangeness, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
He was secretly certain in his heart that the simulated memory had been successfully integrated into the minds of the women.
He knew very well that from this moment on, their relationship with him would change drastically.
And this change may be the key to gaining a foothold in this different world…
The jumping flames of the bonfire cast mottled light and shadows on Akame’s Murasame sword.
The fingers of Akahisa that were gripping the hilt of the knife suddenly curled up as if in spasm.
When Annan’s eyes came into her sight, the floodgates of her memory were instantly opened, and countless fragments of memory flooded in.
She thought of the warmth brought by the silver threads wrapped around her under the bloody moonlit night.
That warmth made her feel protected and secure for the first time;
Thinking of Annan’s concentration and tenderness when treating her wounds by the medicine pool, the bandages were soaked with gilded blood beads, and her heart was filled with this unprecedented care;
Thinking of the despair when the Star Mask shattered when she fell into the abyss, her heart was filled with fear of losing Annan.
“You…” Chi Tong spoke subconsciously, his voice trembling slightly.
The Murasame sword “clanged” out of its sheath half an inch, and she stared at Annan closely.
Her eyes were filled with shock, confusion, and bewilderment.
On the one hand, I long to get answers from Annan and find out what these memories are all about;
On the other hand, I am afraid to face this strange and strong emotion.
This contradiction made it difficult for her to make a decision, and she swallowed the words back when they came to her lips.
Her fingertips unconsciously ran over the hilt.
In previous memories, that place should be where Annan’s silver thread was entangled.
This is the maintenance method Annan taught her. Every time she touches it,
All of these made her feel a complex emotion in her heart, which was the attachment to the good times in her simulated memory.
From a distance, the sound of Ma Yin sobbing in her sleep was heard. Chi Tong suddenly came to her senses and quickly sheathed the knife.
When she turned around, her black cloak fluttered in the night wind, and the ends of her hair brushed across Annan’s palm.
Her heartbeat was still fast, and the scenes in the simulated memory kept echoing in her mind.
She didn’t dare look at Annan again, and could only walk quickly towards Main who made the sound, trying to cover up her inner panic with busyness.
At the same time, hundreds of miles away, in the church castle surrounded by dense forests,
Hei Tong suddenly woke up from his sleep.
She was breathing heavily, her eyes filled with fear and confusion.
The half-eaten candy fell onto the bed with a “plop”, and the demon sword Yafu let out a strange wail in its scabbard.
Strange silver lines appeared on the blade.
Hei Tong subconsciously licked the strawberry jam left on his fingertips, but the tip of his tongue tasted the bitterness of the gilded blood.
Her heart was filled with fear. The memories that suddenly flooded in made her feel extremely strange, yet inexplicably familiar and nostalgic.
“This… is Annan? Why? Why would I have such a memory?!
It’s like it just happened!”
Hei Tong’s eyes were full of confusion and struggle. She stared at the weapon in her hand, trying to find a little comfort in it.
She was in a state of confusion. On the one hand, she felt confused and frightened about this inexplicable memory.
On the other hand, the warm memories of the time she spent with Annan made her yearn for it.
That was the warmth that she had never received from her only relative, her sister.
When she thought of those warm moments, a strong possessiveness surged in her heart, a possessiveness that made her become a little pathological.
“Annan…you are mine, and only mine!”
Hei Tong’s eyes gradually became fanatical and paranoid. She looked at the demon sword Bafang in her hand.
I secretly made up my mind that since this memory was so real,
Since Annan can give her the warmth she has never had before, she must not lose him.
Even if he had to use the power of the Eight Houses to turn Annan into a puppet and keep him by his side forever,
She was willing to do whatever it took, and this extreme idea became stronger and stronger in her mind.
The next morning, the soft sunlight shone through the branches and leaves onto the earth.
Ma Yin and other girls woke up from their sleep one after another. They rubbed their sleepy eyes, with confusion on their faces.
Each of them felt that they had had an extremely strange dream.
The scenes in the dream were as real as if I had experienced them myself, but the memory of them was vague.
Their hearts were full of doubts and they wanted to ask each other questions, but they chose to remain silent because of some inexplicable shyness and uneasiness.
When their eyes fell on Annan, curiosity, shyness and exploration were unconsciously revealed in their eyes.
Ma Yin looked at An Nan, and a strange feeling surged in her heart. She didn’t know why.
But this feeling made her a little cautious when facing Annan;
Leone had a hint of mockery in her eyes. She noticed this subtle change and secretly wondered what would happen next.
Each of them silently digested the complex emotions brought about by the awakening of memories.
Although he seems calm on the surface, his heart is already in turmoil……
Chapter 23: Esdeath and Altria! (Old version)
On the other side, a fully armed elite cavalry team of 100 men was rushing towards the Monster Mountain Range at lightning speed.
They were dressed in magical costumes, and each of them exuded a powerful aura.
Although this cavalry team is small in number, its momentum is extremely majestic.
Even if there are only a hundred people, they can definitely be comparable to an army of ten thousand people on the battlefield.
The sound of horse hooves was like thunder, and dust flew wherever they went, as if a black whirlwind was sweeping past.
The leader was a tall and slender beautiful woman.
She had long, cascading light blue hair that fell softly behind her;
Her skin is as white as snow, and her pupils, eyebrows and eyelashes are all deep blue, like a mysterious ocean.
A special pattern can be vaguely seen above her chest, which is a symbol of her powerful ability.
This person is Esdeath, one of the twin stars of the Alpha Empire Army.
“General, the Warcraft Mountains are ahead!
According to our intelligence, the eldest son of the Duke of Lion, Annan, was kidnapped in the Monster Mountain Range!
We should still be in the World of Warcraft Mountains now. After all, it is not only vast in area but also has a complex environment and many high-level monsters!
It is very difficult to take a duke away easily!”
A female deputy general next to her, riding a dragon-scale horse with special magical beast blood, quickly came to Esdeath.
She stood tall and straight, and reported all the intelligence she knew in a respectful tone.
“Oh, interesting! The royal family, the Dark Church, and Prince Grey are all fighting for this Annan.
I really want to meet this Lion Duke’s son, what kind of person is he!”
The corners of Esdeath’s mouth rose slightly, revealing a hint of interest.
Her smile carried a hint of the excitement and anticipation of a hunter seeing his prey.
Often when Esdeath shows this kind of smile, it means that a wonderful manhunt is about to begin.
When the guards next to her saw Esdeath’s expression, they couldn’t help but mourn for Annan in their hearts.
After all, no prey that their general has set his sights on has been able to escape successfully so far.
No, there seems to be an exception!
That is another female general of the Gemini of the Alpha Empire Army—General Raiden!
At the same time, in the distant capital of the Alpha Empire, the nominal capital city of the empire was like a magnificent behemoth entrenched on the earth.
It is majestic and covers a vast area. The streets are bustling with traffic and shops, and the atmosphere is prosperous everywhere.
On the wide streets, there were the cries of merchants and the rumble of horse-drawn carriages.
And people’s laughter and joy are intertwined to form a vibrant city symphony.
At this time, inside the Imperial Palace, a wonderful swordplay duel was taking place in the royal martial arts arena.
The eldest princess, Altria, was wearing a light swordsman’s uniform and holding a sharp sword, dancing gracefully in the martial arts arena.
Her skin was soft and white, and seemed to emit a soft glow under the sunlight.
Her shoulder-length golden hair is as dazzling as the bright sunshine, and her emerald green pupils are like deep emeralds, sparkling with a smart and determined light.
The most eye-catching thing is the playful hair on her head. Under her majestic and solemn face and temperament,
It adds a touch of cuteness and playfulness, making people feel awe and yet unable to help but love it.
Since she was young, Altria has shown extraordinary talent and understanding in swordsmanship.
Her sword training is extremely rigorous and she hone herself every day.
She is serious, loyal and upright, and has a great dream in her heart – to become the legendary Knight King.
Become the sharpest sword to protect the royal family.
This is not only her personal pursuit, but also a royal mission arranged for her by the current king.
After all, although Altria is a member of the royal family, she is the eldest daughter of a concubine. According to the divine rule of this world,
Only the legitimate heir can inherit the imperial power.
If a concubine’s son inherits the throne, he will be attacked by all the countries on the continent.
Even God can bring terrible punishment.
Because of this, no matter how powerful Altria is,
The royal family members don’t have to worry about her usurping the throne.
Because no country dares to confront the entire continent with its own strength.
They dare not disobey the gods they believe in, as that would undoubtedly lead to failure.
Just as Artoria was concentrating on practicing her swordsmanship, her maid hurriedly came.
With a secret letter in hand, he quickly came to the training ground.
The maid bowed slightly and said respectfully:
“Your Highness, there is urgent news from the Imperial Intelligence Agency.
Your fiancé, Prince Annan, was kidnapped in the Monster Mountain Range!”
“Huh?” Upon hearing the news, the sword in Altria’s hand slowly stopped swinging.
She turned around, gracefully inserted her sword firmly into the ground of the martial arts arena, and then reached out to take the secret letter handed to her by the maid.
Altria’s slender fingers gently unfolded the letter and her eyes quickly scanned the contents.
After reading the letter, she frowned slightly, with a hint of worry and doubt in her eyes…
Chapter 24: [Jade Shield]! [Trembling Fruit] activated! (Old version)
In the dense forest, lush branches and leaves are stacked layer upon layer, crisscrossing freely, like a huge green net, covering the sky tightly, leaving only a few spots of mottled and fragmented light and shadows.
Chi Tong and the others hurried forward with An Nan. Their steps were rapid, and with every step they took, the dead branches and leaves piled up under their feet made a crunching sound.
The sound was particularly harsh in the silent forest, as if one could hear their heartbeats.
Suddenly, a bone-chilling wind swept in without warning. The wind seemed to carry endless chill, like sharp ice knives, cutting people’s skin.
The rustling leaves suddenly became quiet.
A chilly, chilly atmosphere, like a surging tide,
It spread from all directions, covering the entire sky and penetrating deep into one’s heart, making one’s hair stand on end and one’s spine go cold.
Kamishiro Rize and Daki led the elites of the Dark Church, just like a group of ghosts hiding in the darkness.
They quietly appeared from every dark and obscure corner and surrounded Akagi and others.
Everyone in the Dark Church wears black robes.
Swaying gently in the breeze, their faces seem even more grim and solemn, like messengers from hell.
The weapons in their hands flashed with a cold light, some were extremely sharp daggers with blood-thirsty edges,
Some are slender and straight staffs that emit mysterious magical fluctuations.
Each piece seemed to have drunk countless blood, exuding a chilling breath of death.
These elites, each of them has a deep and reserved aura, yet they conceal a surging power.
It is obvious that they are all tough guys who have experienced hundreds of battles and countless fights.
“Wow! Looks like we’re lucky. We did catch this big fish!”
Daki slowly walked out from the darkness of the dense forest.
Under the hood, some of the tattoos on her face were faintly visible.
“Now that the target has appeared, let’s complete the task as soon as possible! I’m still waiting to go back and have a delicious dinner!”
Kamishiro Rize pushed up her glasses and looked at Annan in the crowd.
I don’t know why, but an inexplicable sense of familiarity suddenly came over me.
“What a strange fellow!”
Kamishiro Rize shook her head to dispel the strange feeling, then looked up at the dense forest that towered over her.
“We have to make a quick decision, as we are not far from the depths of the Monster Mountain Range!”
“Oh, then let’s look at us!”
Du Ji waved her hand, and dozens of high-level (master or grandmaster level) warriors and magicians appeared around her.
They all started fighting.
At this time, the expressions of the women around Annan also changed slightly.
Chi Tong frowned slightly at this time.
His cold face was full of unwavering determination and courage.
She tightly grasped the sword in her hand, her knuckles turning slightly white due to excessive force, and the originally slightly dull sword body trembled slightly under her tight grip.
It seemed to be eagerly responding to the burning fighting spirit within its master;
Leone bent his legs slightly, lowered his knees, and looked like a cheetah ready to pounce.
As a close combat berserker, her fists are her weapons!
Huihui’s magic power surged wildly in her magic wand, uncontrollably, like a volcano about to erupt.
She is always ready to unleash the explosive magic that she is proud of and regards as the brightest light in her life.
However, they knew very well that the enemies before them were numerous and stronger than they had imagined.
This battle was undoubtedly the most difficult and dangerous one they had ever faced since they were born.
The battle broke out instantly, like a barrel of gunpowder being ignited.
In an instant, flames shot up into the sky and smoke filled the air.
The elites of the Dark Church were like a group of hungry wolves with red eyes, rushing forward with bared fangs and claws.
They work together in perfect harmony, like a closely coordinated whole.
Quickly form tight and highly aggressive attack formations.
Some of them brandished long swords, the blades cutting through the air, making sharp whistling sounds, aiming directly at the vital parts of Akame and the others, each move was deadly;
Some people were chanting in the back, chanting ancient and mysterious spells in a low voice.
Black beams of magic light streaked across the dark sky like shooting stars chasing the moon.
Wherever it went, sturdy trees were instantly smashed to pieces, and wood chips fluttered in the air like snowflakes.
In the dense forest, the roar of battle was deafening, and the smell of blood filled every inch of the air.
Chi Tong was dressed in black, moving through the enemy camp, the sword in his hand flashing with cold light.
Her figure was nimble and light, like a nimble black flying swallow. Every time she swung her sword, she was accompanied by an indomitable momentum and was fierce and intimidating.
The sword blade tore through the air, making a sharp and piercing whistle, the sound was like a war drum from an ancient battlefield.
Again and again, she declared her indomitable spirit and resistance to the enemy.
However, the enemies came like a surging tide, wave after wave, endlessly.
Chi Tong’s breathing gradually became rapid, and the strands of hair on her forehead were soaked with sweat and stuck to her pale cheeks.
At this moment, she did not have the magic sword Murasame in her hand, and her strength was greatly reduced. Although she tried her best in every attack, she still gradually fell into a disadvantage.
You know, Chi Tong’s current realm is only the Grandmaster level, and those who besieged her,
There are two master-level warriors led by Kamishiro Rize, and a master-level magician.
Kamishiro Rize had a cold smile on her face, her eyes full of mockery and disdain.
Every attack brought with it a powerful pressure, forcing Chi Tong to retreat step by step.
On the other side, Leone used his lightning-fast agility to maneuver between the enemies.
Her iron fists were wrapped in strong winds, like cannonballs fired from a gun, quickly smashing towards the enemy.
Every hit left shocking blood marks on the enemy.
The bright red blood flowed out, dripping onto the dry ground, instantly seeping into the soil, and forming strange blood flowers.
But the enemies were like endless weeds. As soon as she dealt with one, two more would pounce from the darkness like ghosts and surround her tightly.
The encirclement became smaller and smaller, her movements gradually became slower, and several wounds of varying depths appeared on her body.
The blood stained her clothes red, which was particularly glaring in the sunlight.
Huihui stood in a corner of the battlefield, her hands clenched tightly, magic power surging in her palms.
She tried to release explosive magic, which was her most powerful killing move and the only hope for everyone at the moment.
However, the enemy’s attacks came like a dense rain of arrows, wave after wave, constantly interfering with her concentration of magic power.
What’s worse is that the legendary strongman Du Ji personally took action and suppressed her.
Facing Daki, whose rank was one level higher than hers, Huihui felt under pressure as heavy as a mountain.
Even though her explosive magic was incredibly powerful, she had no chance to use it at this moment.
She concentrated her attention again and again, trying to break through the obstacles, but was ruthlessly interrupted by the enemy again and again.
Her little face turned red, her forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and her hands were trembling slightly with anger and anxiety.
“I heard that those two are the geniuses of the Imperial Capital Academy! They don’t look that great, after all!”
While interfering with Huihui’s magic power, Dakimaki challenged her with a mocking smile on her face.
The tone was like looking at two ants that were powerless to struggle. “Just with your strength, you think you can go against us?”
Her voice was sharp and piercing, echoing over the battlefield, trying to disturb Huihui’s mood.
“It looks like it’s time to end!” Kamishiro Rize’s voice was icy cold, without a trace of emotion.
As soon as she finished speaking, her claws suddenly spread out from behind her, instantly transforming into eight ferocious spider legs.
It gleams like a cold metal in the sunlight.
The long legs pierced towards Chi Tong like lightning, so fast that people had no time to react.
Akame’s eyes widened, a hint of panic flashing across them, but was quickly replaced by determination.
She gritted her teeth, and tried her best to resist, waving the sword in her hand tightly, but in the end she could only block five spider legs.
However, the remaining three spiked spider legs still carried the breath of death as they stabbed towards Chitong.
At this critical moment, Annan, who had been in the rear, moved…
His eyes were determined, and he activated the experience card without hesitation – [Jade Shield] was activated!
At the same time, the experience card——[Tremor-Tremor Fruit] is activated!
Chapter 25: Kamishiro Rize and Daki are shocked! Annan’s strength! (Old version)
Kamishiro Rize’s spider legs were filled with a deadly murderous aura.
At the moment when it was about to touch Akame’s throat, the air around it seemed to be tightened by an invisible yet extremely powerful force.
In an instant, time seemed to be frozen, everything was still, and the whole world fell into an eerie silence.
Only the sharp tip of the spider’s leg flashed a cold light.
Like the scythe in the hands of the god of death, it ruthlessly announces that life is about to come to an end.
The golden light of the jade shield appeared at Annan’s fingertips.
In a flash, the gilded spell seemed to be a dragon awakening from the depths of ancient time, wrapping around his body joyfully and eagerly.
Each spell radiated a fiery and dazzling light, and the glow of the Jade Shield within the light was like a surging golden tsunami.
In an instant,
“clang–“
The sound of the spider’s legs hitting the barrier was like a thunderclap.
The loud noise came with unparalleled impact force, directly shaking the area within a radius of hundreds of meters.
At this time, Chitong’s hair was dancing wildly under the strong blowing of the golden wind.
When she slowly opened her eyes again, what appeared in her pupils was,
It is Annan’s figure, as tall and resolute as a pine tree.
He stood there firmly, like a towering, unshakable, immortal mountain.
No matter how loudly the wind howled or how violently the rain raged, it could not shake him in the slightest.
This scene is so familiar that it seems to be imprinted deep in the soul.
Scenes that seemed to have been sealed away in the deepest part of memory by the years surged in uncontrollably like a surging tide.
The scene at this moment is exactly the same as that dream that was like a dream, both real and false.
In that dream, Annan was alone. In order to protect her and her sister with all his strength, he was willing to burn his life and use up his last bit of strength to fight to the death with his indomitable will and courage.
Those silver threads that had mended her wounds in the dream world as gently and delicately as gentle elves,
At this moment, it is turning into thousands of rock spears floating in the air.
Each rock spear flashed with a bone-chilling cold light, which seemed like a gaze from the abyss of hell.
At this moment, Chi Tong’s mind suddenly became clear, as if a ray of light instantly penetrated through layers of fog.
She knew with absolute certainty that the Annan in front of her was him!
He is the one who occupies a unique and irreplaceable place in her heart!
The one who would stand up without hesitation to protect her from wind and rain and keep her safe no matter when and where!
“This is…” Kamishiro Rize’s kagune began to tremble violently and madly, making a sharp hissing sound that was creepy and chilling.
An expression of extreme shock instantly appeared on her face, and her eyes were full of disbelief.
She could never have imagined that this man, who seemed so weak and powerless on weekdays,
The duke’s only son, who seemed like he could be blown down by a gust of wind, actually possessed such terrifyingly powerful strength.
At this moment, the bone whip of Dakimaki came with a fierce momentum.
Like a flash of black lightning, it tore through the morning mist swiftly.
The whip tip made a sharp whistling sound, like a poisonous snake that had been accumulating strength for a long time and was fierce and angry.
He rushed towards Annan, shouting viciously: “Playing tricks!”
However, when the whip shadow touched the jade shield, it was as fragile as thin glass.
It instantly collapsed into pieces with a crisp sound.
The unimaginably powerful recoil was like a heavy hammer with incredible power.
With tremendous force, he struck her knuckles so hard that blood flowed out.
The bright red blood, like beads that had broken off the string, slowly flowed down the whip handle, drop by drop.
“Explosion is art!” Huihui’s magic wand suddenly burst out with a brilliant and dazzling rainbow light.
Because of Annan’s silver thread, she had quietly and silently guided her magic.
When Dakimakami realized with horror that the space around her began to twist and deform like a pretzel, an explosive magic was used with the terrifying power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.
It had arrived in an instant, like the coming of death.
The entire space seemed to be being toyed with wantonly by an invisible, powerful, and malicious giant hand.
Become fragmented and distorted.
Daki felt her body under this destructive force.
It was as if she was about to be completely swallowed up by this power and dissipated into nothingness. The fear completely overwhelmed her like a tide.
“Air shock explosion.”
Annan tapped his fingertips lightly, and that action seemed to ring the cold, ruthless and desperate death knell of fate.
In an instant, the sky and the earth seemed to change color, and the ground veins within a radius of one thousand meters collapsed.
Cracks, like the mouth of a hideous and terrifying beast, spread madly and unscrupulously in all directions.
The elites of the Dark Church seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible, oppressive giant hand.
The body trembled violently and involuntarily in the vibration of space, like a fallen leaf in the wind, fragile and helpless.
The sturdy armor on the soldiers was instantly turned into powder under the terrifyingly powerful force of space shock.
The magician’s protective shield was also constantly being squeezed and cracked…
Chapter 26: Bloody Massacre! The Power of Annan! (Old Version)
Daki tried to use the substitution technique to escape from this terrible death threat, but she was horrified to find that
The shadows of the entire forest were shaken into tiny pieces.
Those shadows, like pieces of tattered cloth torn wantonly by a manic demon, gradually dissipated in the howling wind, leaving no trace, as if they had never existed.
Annan stepped on the space crack and walked steadily and firmly to Daki.
Every step he took seemed to be stepping heavily on Daki’s heart.
Daki’s heartbeat increased dramatically with his footsteps, and her fear continued to rise.
The blinding white light gathered at his fingertips illuminated the endless, bone-deep fear in Duji’s pupils.
Then Annan said coldly: “Legend! It seems that it is just that!”
At this time, Daki was already seriously injured.
There was blood coming out of the corner of his mouth and his breath was weak.
She looked at Annan who was getting closer and closer, with fear and shock in her eyes.
She simply couldn’t believe how the little white rabbit could suddenly turn into a ferocious wolf!
Annan’s full-strength attack fully and unreservedly demonstrated the extraordinary power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.
The terrifying shock wave spread wildly in a circular shape.
Wherever it went, the air was instantly sucked out, making a sharp and shrill howl like the howling of ghosts and wolves.
Wherever the shock wave passed, trees were cut in half, and the thick trunks broke at the moment.
It made a dull and desperate sound, as if it was the earth’s lament.
“Wow…” Daki could no longer bear the great pain and fear, and spurted out a mouthful of blood.
When she looked at Annan again, the ridicule and disdain in her eyes had disappeared without a trace, replaced by endless fear and deep, unspeakable shock!
Seeing the miserable fate of Dakimide, Kamishiro Rize made a prompt decision and immediately chose to return to help.
Her kagune was like deadly lightning, with a sharp whistling sound.
He stabbed towards Annan swiftly, and the cold light flashing on the heel was daunting and chilling, as if it was a death gaze from the dark abyss.
However, when her extremely sharp knives were about to touch Annan,
Annan suddenly clenched his fists, and a suffocatingly powerful and surging energy burst out of his body.
Containing endless destructive power, it directly shattered the opponent’s seemingly terrifying kagune inch by inch.
The fragments of the kagune flew in the air like hidden weapons.
Wherever it went, it cut through the air, making a sharp whistling sound, cutting everything around it, as if it wanted to tear the entire world into pieces.
At this time, Kamishiro Rize was in a state of madness and confusion, and the eight kagune suddenly stabbed at her.
I tried to use the severe pain to dispel the lingering sense of déjà vu in my memory that was like a ghost.
However, Annan’s silver thread was several times faster than her movements, like a fleeting, elusive white lightning.
The dazzling white light with shock waves gently touched her forehead, and then said coldly: “You will pay for this pain when you wake up.”
Kamishiro Rize’s body froze instantly, as if time had stopped flowing for her.
Then he fell down slowly and straight and fell into a coma.
Then, Annan swept a cold gaze over the remaining members of the Dark Church in front of him. That gaze seemed like a cold wind coming from an extremely cold land, carrying a bone-chilling chill.
The corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a chilling, frightening sneer, and he said in a deep voice: “Next, it will be a real massacre!”
As soon as he finished speaking, his hands quickly changed, forming strange and complex seals that contained great power.
In an instant, the thousands of rock spears suspended in the air seemed to be endowed with life and soul.
Like a rainstorm covering the sky, it shot madly towards everyone in the Dark Church.
The rock gun pierced the air, making a sharp, piercing, scalp-numbing whistling sound.
Wherever they went, members of the Dark Church fell to the ground screaming, and their bright red blood quickly dyed the ground red.
Some were pierced through the body by rock spears, and were nailed to the thick tree trunks like dolls on a string, their bodies swaying slightly in the breeze, and their deaths were miserable;
Some were hit in the head by rock guns, their brains bursting out on the spot.
A life is gone in an instant, leaving only debris and blood.
The space under Annan’s feet was cracked and expanding rapidly under the crazy effect of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.
Anyone touched by this energy will immediately let out a heart-wrenching and inhumane scream of pain, and their body will quickly disintegrate under the erosion of the energy.
Upon seeing this, the mages of the Dark Church were horrified and their faces turned as pale as paper.
They immediately tried their best to mobilize all the magic power in their bodies and released various magic spells to try to resist this horrific attack.
However, in the face of Annan’s nearly unstoppable power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, which was beyond the comprehension of ordinary people,
These magicians, who were only at the master level, were completely powerless to resist.
Their magic was as fragile as building blocks casually constructed by children, completely defenseless and vulnerable like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
The magical lights were instantly extinguished after coming into contact with the energy of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, just like a faint candlelight being easily blown out in a strong wind.
Annan walked towards them steadily, step by step. His steps were steady and firm, and with every step he took, the ground shook slightly.
The vibrations were transmitted through the earth, making the fear in the hearts of everyone in the Dark Church even stronger.
Every vibration seemed to hit their hearts hard, causing their heartbeats to accelerate and fear to spread wildly in their hearts like a vine.
Annan’s eyes were cold as ice, without any sympathy.
It was as if the people in front of him were just a group of defenseless lambs waiting to be slaughtered. In his eyes, their lives were as insignificant as ants.
A seemingly brave warrior of the Dark Church, perhaps blinded by fear or trying to make a last-ditch effort, mustered up his courage, brandished a greatsword with both hands, and rushed towards Annan at the top of his lungs.
His face was full of madness and despair, and he tried to use his own strength to break this terrible death situation.
Annan looked indifferent, without even looking at him. He just raised his hand slightly, and a shock wave containing the powerful power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit roared away like a surging wave.
The shock wave carried endless power and directly blew the warrior away.
The warrior’s body drew a long arc in the air uncontrollably.
He fell heavily on the hard ground, with a lot of blood gushing out of his mouth and nose.
The limbs twitched a few times, and then there was no more movement.
Life disappears easily in the face of powerful forces, like dust in the wind.
The remaining members of the Dark Church were terrified. The fear made them lose their minds and they began to flee in panic.
Their figures shuttled back and forth in panic on the battlefield like headless flies.
However, how could they escape from Annan’s tight control that was like a dragnet?
Annan controlled the silver threads, which were like nimble deadly snakes, nimbly moving through the air;
It was like an invisible net of death, spreading rapidly towards those who were fleeing.
The silver threads were precisely wrapped around their bodies, getting tighter and tighter, as if they had life and kept shrinking.
The person entangled by the silver threads struggled desperately and shouted in despair, but it was all in vain.
As the silver threads tightened, their breathing became increasingly difficult, their faces gradually turned blue and purple, and they eventually suffocated to death, their lives slowly coming to an end in struggle and pain.
“It’s time to end it!”
Annan said with a cold look in his eyes.
A moment later, on the battlefield that was originally noisy and fierce, filled with shouts of killing and magical lights, only Annan and the red-eyed girls were left.
As well as the unconscious Kamishiro Rize and the seriously injured and dying Daki.
The ground was littered with corpses of members of the Dark Church.
The corpses were in various postures, some were twisted, as if they had experienced great pain before death;
Some of them had their eyes wide open, with expressions of fear still on their faces.
The bright red blood gathered together, forming winding streams that flowed slowly.
In the sunlight, it emits a disgusting fishy smell.
The whole battlefield is like hell on earth, full of scars. The whole battlefield is like hell on earth,
The place was devastated and dead silent, with only a gentle breeze blowing, carrying the smell of blood and death.
As if telling the cruelty of this brutal battle…
Chapter 27: The complicated emotions of the women, and the secret memories of Kamishiro Rize! (Old version)
Annan stood in front of everyone with a calm expression. He raised his hand and took out the simulated reward from the system inventory.
Those objects seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, suspended in the air, emitting a strange light.
“Here are your new weapons, take them.
Don’t let me clean up this mess again.”
His voice was deep and powerful, and it carried far in the silent forest.
When these words came out, the girls were so shocked that they were speechless.
Their eyes were fixed on those weapons, full of disbelief.
It is really hard to understand how Annan could take out a bunch of special weapons and equipment so casually.
Huihui’s eyes widened, her face full of shock and curiosity.
She stared at the weapons that appeared out of thin air, and the knowledge about space magic equipment she learned in the academy quickly emerged in her mind.
“Is this… a space magic equipment?” She muttered to herself subconsciously, completely unaware of the solemn atmosphere at the scene.
In her opinion, this scene of taking out weapons from the void at will is exactly the same as the characteristics of space magic equipment.
She couldn’t help but sigh in her heart that the children of powerful people are different.
It is really enviable that he can even carry such rare space magic equipment with him.
Unlike her, she has lived on the poverty line since she was a child. How infuriating! Damn second-generation kid!
After a long while, Chi Tong and the other girls came back to their senses.
They carefully picked up the weapons floating in front of them and examined them carefully.
These weapons exude a unique aura, and it would be more appropriate to describe them as legendary imperial weapons rather than ordinary weapons.
At this moment, a shocking idea arose in the minds of all the girls at the same time.
It seems that the memories they experienced before were not illusions at all.
It’s a real story that happened in a certain period of time!
Thinking of this, the women’s eyes turned more complicated when they looked at Annan, mixed with shock, confusion, gratitude and awe.
Maine held the romantic pumpkin cannon in both hands, her eyes a little dazed.
The newly appeared gilded patterns on the gun body resonated faintly with the jade shield on Annan’s body, emitting a soft and mysterious light.
Her thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the scene in that special memory, and she remembered Annan’s warm smile before he disappeared.
“Brother Annan looks like he’s about to turn into light…”
The corners of her mouth trembled slightly, and her voice was as soft as the whisper of a mosquito.
“Shut up!” Leone suddenly yelled.
Then she swung her iron fist fiercely, and with a loud “bang”, a big tree next to her was knocked down by her punch.
There was a complex light flashing in her animal eyes, and she stared at the Lion King Belt in her hand.
On the belt, a smiling face woven with silver thread is particularly eye-catching.
That was the birthday gift that Annan gave her in her memory.
Now, this gift carrying precious memories appeared before her eyes.
It caused a storm in her heart.
Xier was concentrating on fiddling with the big scissors in her hand.
The star and moon embroidery on the hem of her cheongsam looked particularly exquisite under the halo of the jade shield.
She gently adjusted her purple-rimmed glasses that had slipped down and looked at the scissors carefully.
I saw that the edge of the blade that cuts everything in half was slowly engraving the rock element runes on its own.
It seems that it has just been affected by Annan’s attack element.
This magical scene filled Xier’s eyes with amazement.
Chelsea’s illusion foundation box accidentally rolled to the ground, with the mirror facing up, reflecting her youthful and beautiful face.
Her hands were trembling slightly, and she was about to bend down to pick it up.
Suddenly, Annan’s silver hair stretched out like a nimble snake and put the foundation box back steadily into her palm.
“The real shapeshifting is what you want to become!”
Annan’s voice rang in her ears, causing her to feel a different feeling in her heart.
The dense forest fell into dead silence again.
Akame held a sharp blade in her hand, and the tip of the sword gently lifted up the mask that had fallen from Kamishiro Rize.
The silver thread wrapped around her scabbard suddenly tightened. This was the sealing technique that someone taught her in her memory.
She slowly raised her head and looked at the back bathed in the starlight.
The Murasame sword seemed to sense the fluctuations in her heart and suddenly made a clear sound.
On the blade, there appeared gilded fingerprints that did not exist before. It was a unique mark left by time and memory.
And there was some indescribable special meaning in the look she gave Annan.
In a corner that no one noticed, Rize Kamishiro’s kagune was like a flexible tentacle.
Quietly entangled a piece of falling stardust.
As the starlight slowly seeped into her blood and merged into her blood, a memory seal that was deeply sealed in her heart quietly shattered.
In the depths of her mind, a man wearing a star-patterned mask gradually emerged.
He was standing in the depths of Kamishiro Rize’s childhood nightmare, with a gentle smile on his face.
But this gentle smile caused a storm in Kamishiro Rize’s heart.
That was a past that she didn’t want to recall but couldn’t forget.
At this moment, Annan suddenly heard a system notification sound in his mind.
Received a new simulated binding character——[Super S-class ghoul, Kamishiro Rize! 】
Chapter 28: Simulating Kamishiro Rize! (Old version)
[As a Kyushu native in Neon Country, you have been infected and turned into a ghoul! ][When you were very young, you were sent to Hexiu’s isolation area and raised.
Here, you met the little girl with purple hair——Kamiyo Rize! 】
[At this time, Kamishiro Rize has not yet revealed the brutality of a ghoul. You two are getting along quite well! ][During these days in the isolation area with Xiu, you always supported and cared for each other. ]The rain in Tokyo always smells like rust.
Thick lead-gray clouds piled up layer by layer like a huge curtain, weighing heavily over the city.
Fine rain threads intertwined into a boundless net, trapping the entire city within it.
Raindrops fell on the streets and alleys, and the splashing water was filled with the smell of decay and obsolescence.
It seems as if this bustling city is slowly rusting in the endless rain, and every corner is filled with depression and dullness.
Annan slowly opened his eyes, and his nose was instantly burned by the strong and pungent smell of disinfectant in the isolation area, which irritated him so much that he couldn’t help but frown.
The pale and dazzling light shone down without any warmth, illuminating the cold environment.
The surrounding walls were cold and hard, and various instruments were flashing strange indicator lights and emitting faint, monotonous beeping sounds, struggling in vain in the dead silence, which made the place even more eerie.
Not far away, in the quarantine area, seventeen-year-old Kamishiro Rize huddled tightly in a corner like a wounded and extremely frightened little animal.
In the dim light, her bright eyes radiated a garnet-like enchanting luster.
Like two strange flames burning in the dark abyss, they are dangerous and mysterious, full of vigilance and hostility towards the surroundings.
Four thick scales stretched out from her petite body, but were violently pierced by the cold and hard alloy chains.
A hideous blood scab formed on her tender back.
The dried blood, like twisted scars, silently tells of the endless torture she suffered, and each scar hides a painful memory.
“Subject V14, time to eat.”
A cold mechanical voice without any emotion suddenly sounded, breaking the suffocating silence.
A metallic mechanical arm slowly extended from the top of the cabin.
The pieces of human flesh on the tray gave off a disgusting and strange smell.
It quickly spread in this enclosed and depressing space, making people feel nauseous.
Rize’s fangs subconsciously pierced her lower lip, and the sweet smell of blood instantly stimulated her nerves.
The instinctive hunger made her scales tremble wildly and uncontrollably.
It is the most primitive desire for food and the struggle of being imprisoned.
Just as Rize was about to desperately pounce on the piece of meat and tear it into pieces, a strange light suddenly appeared outside the isolation area.
Then it was covered with complex and mysterious gilded patterns, with flashing and jumping lights.
It is like an ancient and mysterious scroll, slowly unfolding, revealing an indescribable solemnity and sacredness.
This is the anti-tracking technique that Annan engraved with silver thread. In every delicate line,
They all contain his precise calculations and powerful and profound strength, and are the protective barrier he has woven for Li Shi.
“Want to eat real wagyu?”
A clear and powerful voice suddenly sounded in the cabin.
Seventeen-year-old Annan was agile and nimble like a nimble cheetah. He quickly lifted the baffle of the ventilation duct and jumped down lightly.
He wore a star-patterned mask, revealing only half of his handsome yet resolute face.
There was determination and unruly look in his eyes, as if nothing in the world could stop him.
His fingertips were flashing with silver light, which was the silver thread that he controlled freely.
At this moment, the RC cell inhibitors on the chain are being dissolved silently but precisely.
Every bit of dissolution seemed to be untying the heavy shackles that bound Rize.
“You deserve better food, Rise.
Ghouls don’t have to eat humans, I can save you!”
His voice was low and gentle. In this cold and depressing isolation area,
Like the warm spring sun, it instantly brings a touch of warmth and hope.
Annan was concentrating on controlling the silver thread while keeping a vigilant eye on the movements around him.
He knew very well that time was running out and every second was extremely precious.
Once discovered, not only will the rescue operation fail, but he and Rize will also be doomed.
Because with his current master-level warrior strength, it is enough to completely fight against the monsters in the entire base.
After all, at this moment, Annan didn’t want to use the other two skill experience cards of the group members in the simulation world!
That would be such a waste!
Suddenly, there was a sound of heavy footsteps at the end of the corridor. Annan’s heart tightened, but his hands did not fluctuate at all. Instead, they accelerated the dissolution speed.
Rize also noticed something was wrong, and her frenzy due to hunger was gone.
At this moment, she was replaced by tension and uneasiness. She stared at Annan closely, her eyes full of dependence and trust.
This is one of the few happy memories in her mind.
That is the sense of trust that we have grown up with!
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and beads of sweat appeared on Annan’s forehead, but his eyes remained firm.
Finally, just as the footsteps were about to reach the entrance of the quarantine area, he successfully dissolved the last trace of inhibitor.
The chain fell with a clang, and Annan quickly picked up Rise and rushed to the ventilation duct.
Just as they disappeared into the ventilation duct, the door to the isolation area was suddenly pushed open.
A group of fully armed personnel rushed in, looking at the empty culture chamber and the fallen chains, their faces full of shock and anger.
“Chase! There’s no way they can escape from the base!”
The leading man in black said angrily.
At this moment, the ventilation duct was small and dark, filled with a stale smell of dust.
Annan held Rise in his arms and crawled quickly through the intricate pipes.
Every time you advance a certain distance, you must be careful to avoid possible surveillance equipment and alarm devices.
His back was soaked with sweat, and his arms were sore from climbing and holding Rize for a long time.
But he gritted his teeth and persisted, with only one belief in his heart: to take Li Shi away from here.
However, the enemy quickly reacted and activated an all-round search system within the base.
Alarms echoed in the ventilation ducts and red warning lights flashed continuously.
Annan’s heartbeat accelerated rapidly and he knew that they had been locked.
Suddenly, there was a violent vibration from the ventilation duct in front. It turned out that the enemy had activated the pipe cleaning device, trying to force them out.
A strong airflow hit Annan in the face and he was almost blown down.
He hugged Rise tightly, shielding her with his body, and struggled to find a place to hide in the air current.
Annan discovered a ventilation vent leading to an abandoned warehouse.
He tried his best and jumped down from the vent with Rize.
Outside the abandoned warehouse is a muddy open space.
The rain was still falling, and the ground was slippery. They ran with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and behind them was the footsteps and shouts of the enemy chasing them.
However, at this moment, a man in a black suit stood in front of Annan.
When the man turned around, a powerful aura hit him in the face.
Furuta Nifuku, the ultimate mastermind in the original world line!
He is also a special ghoul whose combat power exceeds that of ordinary S-class ghouls!
Chapter 29: The Final Showdown on a Rainy Night! (Old Version)
It was raining heavily, and raindrops as big as beans hit the ground, splashing layers of water, covering the whole world in a hazy rain curtain.
Furuta Nifuku stood in the rain, his kagune suddenly tearing through the rain curtain.
The six tails danced wildly behind him like ferocious tentacles, announcing the start of the battle.
At this moment, he looked like a horrible monster crawling out of the abyss, emitting a chilling aura all over his body.
Furuta Jifu slowly raised his hand and licked the raindrops on the scalpel.
The single eye behind the gold-rimmed glasses flashed with morbid excitement, and the laughter sounded particularly strange in the sound of rain:
“The toys of the He Xiu family should stay in the petri dish obediently instead of struggling to death in front of me.”
The rain slid down his cheeks, intertwining with his crazy expression, making him look even more hideous.
Annan quickly protected Li Shi behind him, and the silver threads in his palms quickly formed a star array, and the light was faintly visible in the rain.
The long sword in his hand came out of the sheath with a “swish”, making a clear sound, and raindrops kept dripping along the edge of the mask.
He clearly felt the trembling of the girl in his arms.
It was not a tremor of fear, but a tremor of hunger and anger intertwined from the depths of the soul.
“Fight!” Annan roared, his voice piercing through the rain, the firmness and determination in his voice moving people.
The long sword in his hand burst out with a sharp sword energy, like a white lightning, heading straight for Jiuduo Erfu.
The sword energy exploded in mid-air, and the dazzling light illuminated the dark rainy night, as if it was going to tear apart the oppressive sky.
Furuta Jifu was not to be outdone. His tail swords were like tough spears, colliding with the sword energy.
“Bang!” A huge vibration sound was heard, like a dull thunder, which made people’s eardrums hurt.
The surrounding ground was instantly ravaged by the sword energy, leaving several sword marks tens of meters long, and mud and water splashed everywhere.
The powerful impact force pushed away Furuta Jiro’s kagune, and one of the kagune was completely cut off. A strange liquid flowed out from the broken part and merged into the mud and water.
“Interesting!” Furuta Erfu licked his lips, and the excitement in his eyes became even stronger.
“But if that’s all your strength, you can stop here!”
As soon as he finished speaking, his broken kagune grew again at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if it had never been injured.
This time, Furuta Jifu took the initiative. His figure pierced through the rain curtain like a ghost.
The scarlet herb was like a swift venomous snake, instantly piercing through Annan’s left shoulder.
The huge impact pinned him to the abandoned container.
Blood gushed out from Annan’s wound, mixing with the rain water and dripping down his arm.
At this moment, Rize’s rank suddenly jumped up.
Four amethyst-like kagune instantly pierced towards Furuta Jiro with a desperate momentum.
“Looking for death!” Furuta Erfu snorted coldly, his voice full of disdain.
A tail kagune appeared in an instant, so fast that people had no time to react, and directly knocked Kamishiro Rize’s kagune away.
Although Kamishiro Rize was of a higher rank, her long-term imprisonment had left her physically weak.
It was impossible to exert its full strength. After just a few rounds of fighting,
She was knocked back by the fierce attack of Furuta Jifu, staggering and almost falling.
“It’s really touching.” Furuta Nifuku’s feathers unfolded into a sword fan, flashing cold light in the rain.
“Unfortunately, your bond will end here today.”
As he spoke, he swung his feathers and cut off three of Kamishiro Rize’s scales, scattering them all over the ground.
But at this moment, before Jiuduo Erfu could finish his words, Annan’s silver thread had already wrapped around his ankle like a nimble snake.
At this time, the real killing formation quietly took shape in the mud and water.
A magic shield descended from the sky, covering all three of them.
The light shield flashed mysterious runes in the rain, isolating it from everything outside.
Annan’s silver threads formed a thorn cage inside the shield, trapping Jiuduo Erfu inside.
Furuta Nifuku struggled frantically. Every time his tail was torn, a new one would immediately fill in.
It seems endless.
“If you still want to struggle, these silver imperial weapons will continue to pour out until they cut you into pieces!”
Annan held a long sword in one hand, the blade flashing with cold light, and blood was flowing in the other hand.
The bright red blood dyed the silver imperial weapon in his hand red, and it looked particularly shocking under the washing of rain.
When Kamishiro Rize saw this scene, she felt mixed emotions and came to Annan.
She looked at Annan’s injured arm, the wound was bloody and the bones were vaguely visible;
Looking at Annan’s resolute face in front of him, the rain slid down his forehead and wet his hair.
She didn’t know why the young man in front of her treated her like this.
It is obvious that I am a mistake, a mistake that has been unacceptable to the world since I was born!
But the young man in front of him has always been by his side since he was a child.
He is always so warm and has a smile that can soothe people’s hearts.
Even during those dark days in the quarantine zone, he could always put a smile on his face.
Why would such a person be so good to me!
“Do you think this is just playing house?” At this time, Furuta Nifuku’s words interrupted Kamishiro Rize’s thoughts.
Following a roar from Kudo Nifuku, his kagune instantly transformed into a huge Kunkka blade.
The blade flashed with a cold luster, as if it could cut everything off.
“I have devoured the power of Dragon’s Blood…” His voice was full of arrogance and conceit.
The moment the giant blade chopped down, it cut through the air with a tremendous force, making a sharp whistling sound.
Annan reacted quickly, pulling Rise with him and rolling on the ground to avoid the attack.
With a “click”, the container was split in half, revealing the high-voltage cables hidden inside.
Annan’s eyes flashed with a cold light, and the silver thread precisely wrapped around the broken cable.
One hundred thousand volts of electric current flowed into the body of Jiuduo along the tail like a raging torrent.
“Ahem…cunning rat!” Furuta Jifu’s kagune instantly turned black and smoked, emitting a pungent burnt smell.
But his one eye burst into an even crazier light, as if the pain was just a stimulation to him.
He tore open his suit, revealing the Hercules core embedded in his chest. The core was flashing with a strange light:
“Let me show you the real …”
Annan did not give him a chance. The silver thread suddenly pierced his heart, and the gilded blood turned into a star chain.
With determination and determination to die, he entangled Jiuduo.
Several tough silver threads instantly exerted force, like sharp blades,
Just mince the charred and smoking blackened body of Kyudo Erfuku into pieces inch by inch.
At this time, Furuta Nifuku’s sharp blade slashed towards Kamishiro Rize in his crazy struggle.
“Let’s die together?” Furuta Jifu laughed wildly and broke the star chain. The giant Kunkel blade slashed towards Rize with the breath of death.
At the critical moment, Annan’s left arm turned into a silver shield at the last moment, blocking Rize.
“Crack”, the crisp sound of the blade cutting the arm bone, mixed with Rize’s scream, pierced through the rain curtain.
Blood flowed out, Annan’s arm was completely broken, and the bone fragments pierced the skin.
The white bones and bright red flesh were intertwined together, it was a horrible sight.
Immediately following, Annan’s sword, with an indomitable momentum, instantly pierced into the chest of Furuta Jiro.
This is a lose-lose outcome!
But there was a smile on Annan’s lips, a smile that contained relief and protection for Rise.
Kamishiro Rize beside him had regained consciousness.
But the scene before her made her reveal complex emotions.
There was a trace of pain and shock in his eyes, and tears mixed with the rain and slid down his cheeks…
Chapter 30: Esdeath’s Arrival! (Old Version)
Buzz!
In an instant, Annan felt dizzy. When his memories receded like the tide, he found himself back in the real world.
Everything around was still the same as when I left, and only a short second had passed.
His eyes fell on the unconscious Kamishiro Rize, knowing full well that the simulated memories had been deeply embedded in her consciousness.
When Kamishiro Rize wakes up again, her impression of him will surely be completely different.
Everyone was just about to breathe a sigh of relief and head back towards the imperial capital.
At this moment, a dull vibration sound suddenly came from the distance, like rolling thunder coming from the depths of the earth, getting clearer and clearer as it got closer.
“What’s going on? Is it a monster riot?”
Leone pricked up his ears, listening to the sound that was getting louder and louder, feeling a little uneasy, and asked in confusion.
Chi Tong frowned, she held her breath, carefully feeling the direction and rhythm of the vibration, her face changed slightly, and she said in a deep voice:
“This doesn’t sound like the sound of monsters rioting, but more like the sound of cavalry galloping.
It sounds like a cavalry is coming towards us quickly.
Moreover, this is a well-trained and elite cavalry!”
Chi Tong knew clearly in his heart that the cavalry that could produce such orderly and highly penetrating vibration sounds was definitely not an ordinary army.
“Everyone get ready for battle, it’s too late to get around!”
Chi Tong acted promptly and reminded everyone loudly.
Hearing her words, the other girls immediately took action, gripping their weapons and ready for battle.
At this time, the weapons that Annan had taken out from the space magic equipment also gave them some psychological security!
The women held their weapons tightly and looked into the distance vigilantly, but no one showed any fear.
As time went on, the cavalry in the distance approached rapidly.
Soon, an elite cavalry team appeared in everyone’s sight.
Even from a distance of a hundred meters, one can still feel the murderous aura and fearless bravery of this cavalry team.
They were covered in magic armor, and the sunlight shining on the armor reflected a cold light.
The horses he rode were special scaly horses with magical beast blood. These scaly horses were tall and strong, and their hooves dug into the ground, making dull sounds.
Every step seemed to crush the earth.
The cavalrymen’s fierceness as warriors and the mysterious aura as magicians intertwined together, creating a powerful sense of oppression.
Just as Akato and the other girls were shocked at the strength of this cavalry, the cavalry team in the distance suddenly split neatly into two halves in the middle, leaving a wide passage.
Then, a beautiful woman with fair skin, tall and slender figure slowly walked out.
Her long light blue hair fell softly behind her like a waterfall, fluttering gently in the breeze.
She was wearing a neat imperial military uniform, and every wrinkle and seam showed her identity and status.
She exuded a powerful aura, like an insurmountable mountain, which made people feel daunted and dared not look directly at her.
“Esdeath, the great general of the empire and one of the twin stars of the military?!”
When Akahime and other girls saw the woman slowly approaching, they immediately showed a look of surprise on their faces and couldn’t help but blurt out.
When she was studying at the Imperial Academy, Esdeath’s name became well-known and spread throughout the Imperial Capital.
As one of the best graduates of Imperial Capital College,
Esdeath is a legendary figure known to everyone in the academy.
They had often heard of Esdeath’s heroic deeds on the battlefield.
But I never thought that I would meet this great general who fought on the battlefield under such circumstances.
“Wow! What a coincidence! There are even some little fangirls from the academy!”
Esdeath looked at the people in front of her, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.
Her eyes swept through the crowd and paused slightly when they landed on Akame and Huihui.
She still had some impression of Akahime, the genius girl from the Sword Academy, and Huihui, the problematic genius girl who had always topped the list but was held back.
However, looking at the group of people in front of her, she thought to herself,
This action should have been organized by the students of these colleges themselves.
As for the purpose, she couldn’t guess it for a moment.
After all, if it was an official action by the academy, they would not only send two grandmasters and a group of master-level students. At least they would have to be led by strong people like the academy’s senior tutors or high-level legends.
Thinking of this, Esdeath shook her head slightly and said slowly:
“I thought that crazy woman, the dean, had a crush on Prince Annan!
It turns out that this was your own private action!
If that crazy woman came here, I really wouldn’t be sure I could take Annan away!
But you guys! Haha! “
There was a hint of teasing in her tone, as if the people in front of her were just a bunch of small characters who overestimated their own capabilities.
“Annan has a special status. The situation in the empire is chaotic now, and all forces are preparing for war!
Is the general going to light this fuse?”
Akame looked straight into Esdeath’s eyes and said without fear.
Although Esdeath’s rank was two levels higher than hers, having reached the high-level legendary level, Akagi’s eyes still revealed firmness and determination.
“I don’t care what Annan does, I am a soldier and I will only follow orders!
The Second Princess’ order is for me to bring him back to Annan alive! As for the war! Haha!”
Esdeath said this, took a deep breath, and a nearly morbid intoxicated smile appeared on her face.
“Isn’t that better? Only war can make me happy!”
Her voice was full of desire for war, as if war was the meaning of her life.
“Madman! You’re a complete war lunatic!”
Akame and Huihui looked at Esdeath who was immersed in war fantasies, and their eyes were full of shock and disbelief.
They could not imagine that the empire’s general would actually ignite the fuse of civil war in the empire and drag the entire country into war for the sake of war.
“Okay, as a senior, I’ve also reminisced with you guys!
Hand over Annan, and for the sake of that crazy woman, the dean, I can let you go!
Remember, this is my last mercy!”
As Esdeath spoke, she took a step forward with the corners of her mouth raised, revealing a proud attitude as if she was admiring her prey.
There was an unquestionable majesty in her eyes.
This is telling everyone that resistance is futile and the only way out is to surrender Annan obediently…
Chapter 31: Fierce Battle in the Canyon, Esdeath’s Power! (Old Version)
“It’s Esdeath!”
Annan looked at the familiar and powerful figure in the distance, his heart filled with shock and complexity.
This strange world is full of unknowns and variables.
But when Esdeath’s figure came into view, Annan couldn’t help but be shocked.
“I didn’t expect that Esdeath was also reincarnated into this different world.
It seems that this world is just like a sieve, full of reincarnations!”
Annan’s eyes were fixed on Esdeath, his brows slightly furrowed.
In his opinion, Esdeath’s strength is extraordinary and she is almost invincible in the original world.
Now that she is in another world, judging from the situation, her strength seems to be a bit stronger than Akame.
Presumably, he was reincarnated earlier and accumulated more power.
His level and rank are already two realms higher than Chi Tong.
He turned to look at Chi Tong and the others around him, and a wave of worry surged in his heart. Chi Tong, Leone, Ciel, Myne…
Although each of these people is extremely powerful, their chances of winning against Esdeath are slim.
Even if Esdeath didn’t use her terrifying freezing ability, she was two levels stronger than everyone else, and she had over a hundred elite cavalrymen behind her.
They can be completely suppressed.
“Looks like I still have to rely on a simulated comeback!”
Annan murmured softly, his eyes falling on the simulation system. Among the newly bound characters, Esdeath’s name was particularly eye-catching.
At this time in the Ice Crystal Canyon, the cold wind was howling like a roaring beast.
The fine ice fragments danced wildly in the wind, reflecting colorful light, which was like a dream, but also concealed murderous intent.
Esdeath stood in the center of the canyon, her combat boots firmly planted on the frosty ground, each step making a crisp sound.
Her blue hair fluttered in the wind like a fluttering flag.
The sword at his waist had not yet been unsheathed, but the temperature of the entire canyon had dropped by twenty degrees, and an invisible sense of oppression came over him.
Akame held Murasame tightly, and the sharp blade in the scabbard seemed to sense the crisis and made a buzzing sound.
She stared at the rapidly spreading ice crystal patterns on the rock wall with a firm and calm look in her eyes, and shouted in a low voice:
“Spread out the formation! Leone on the left wing, Hill on the right!”
However, before her words had completely faded, Esdeath had already made her move.
I saw her fingertips lightly tapping the air, her movements were so graceful as if she was playing a beautiful piece of music.
In an instant, thirty ice crystal knights suddenly rose from the ground.
These knights exuded a bone-chilling coldness, and their ice armor flashed a cold light in the sunlight.
“Ice Storm raid.” Esdeath’s voice came slowly, with a hint of lazy smile, but it made people shudder.
The ice knight array accelerated instantly, the horses’ hooves stepped heavily on the ice, and the splashing ice chips instantly condensed into a rain of arrows in the air, whizzing towards the night raiders.
Leone reacted extremely quickly, instantly transforming into a beast, with every strand of his golden hair standing up like an angry wild beast.
She roared, pounced on the ice riders with her bare hands, and tore two ice riders into pieces in the blink of an eye.
But just as she was about to attack the third ice rider, the spear in the ice rider’s hand stabbed like lightning and went straight through her shoulder.
Almost at the same moment, ice crystals bloomed into frost flowers at the wound at a speed visible to the naked eye, freezing the muscles around the wound in the blink of an eye.
Marin had already set up a romantic turret a hundred meters away. She gritted her teeth, her eyes showing determination.
With a roar, the Romantic Fort roared, and an orange-red energy beam,
It shot out like a meteor and instantly pierced through the three ice knights.
However, just when everyone thought that the beam was about to hit Esdeath,
The seven-layer ice prism appeared out of thin air without any warning.
The light beam refracted wildly between the ice prisms and finally hit the cliffs on both sides hard.
With only two loud bangs, a deep pit with a diameter of five meters was instantly blown out on the cliff, with gravel and ice flying everywhere.
Esdeath didn’t even look at the shattered cliff.
She slowly raised her left hand, and the ice surface under Marin’s feet suddenly burst into countless thorny ice cones.
These ice cones were sharp and flashing with cold light, and were about to pierce Myne.
“Be careful!” Hill’s voice came from behind. She spun everything in half and rushed into the battlefield like a black lightning.
The giant scissors drew an arc in the air and accurately cut off the ice cone.
But at this moment, Esdeath’s sword was finally unsheathed.
The icy blue sword light drew a strange arc in the air, so fast that it was almost impossible to catch.
Hill only felt a flash of cold light before his eyes, and the imperial weapon in his hand, All Things Cut In Two, collided with the ice-blue sword blade.
In an instant, an ultra-low temperature spread instantly, and spider-web-like cracks appeared on the surface of the scissors that were said to be able to cut through everything.
Akagi’s figure flashed like a ghost in the ice fog, and Murasame drew sixteen dark blue tracks in her hands.
“Secret Sword: Return of the Swallow!” Her voice was firm and powerful, and the blade stabbed towards the collar of Esdeath’s military uniform with an unstoppable momentum.
Just as the blade was about to touch Esdeath, a scarlet light flashed in Esdeath’s eyes.
In an instant, time and space seemed to be suddenly frozen by an invisible hand.
The originally falling ice crystals were suspended in the air, and Akagi maintained a thrusting posture, frozen in the ice-blue field, unable to move.
“The curse is indeed terrible.”
Esdeath whispered, her fingers gently running over the frozen blade.
The ice crystals quickly spread along Murasame to Akame’s wrist, “But can you still hold a knife with frozen fingers?”
At this moment, when time and space resumed their flow,
Huihui’s passionate chant echoed throughout the canyon: “Explosion!”
The scarlet magic pattern lit up in the sky, the light was so dazzling that it seemed to illuminate the entire canyon.
Esdeath, however, was not afraid at all. Instead, she smiled excitedly.
She clasped her hands together quickly, her movements smooth and flowing.
The next second, an ice crystal rose with a diameter of one hundred meters rose from the ground at a speed so fast that it was hard to keep up.
The explosive magic made a muffled sound in the flower bud, and countless ice petals wrapped in blazing flames flew everywhere.
When the last piece of ice petal fell to the ground, all the people in the night raid were locked in ice and unable to move.
“Nice struggle.”
Esdeath walked towards Annan step by step on the ice steps.
Her combat boots made clear echoes on the ice, and each tap seemed to strike at everyone’s heart.
“But the game is over.”
She raised her hand and gently touched Annan’s handsome cheek, and ice crystals climbed up his neck along her fingertips!
“Your Highness, the Second Princess, will probably like this gift very much…”
Chapter 32: Simulating Esdeath! (Old version)
At this time, Annan stood quietly, his eyes fixed on Esdeath who was nearby.
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
“I thought that as a general of the empire, you should be more vigilant.
But now, are you sure you can control me?”
Annan’s voice was deep and magnetic, floating slowly in the silent night sky.
Every word seemed to be carefully crafted, with a hint of provocation.
Annan raised his head slightly. In fact, his attention had already been focused on the system panel that only he could see.
There, two experience cards emitting mysterious light lay quietly – the [Eight Gates of Ninjutsu: Taijutsu] experience card, and the [Mirror Flower and Water Moon] experience card.
Although from the perspective of rank, the gap between Annan and Esdeath is like a natural chasm, with Annan being three ranks lower than Esdeath.
But the powerful skills contained in these two experience cards are like two sharp blades in the dark.
It was enough to help him tear open the trap set by Esdeath and successfully escape from her clutches.
However, Annan had other plans in mind and he did not intend to leave so easily.
Because not long ago, a brand new simulated character was unlocked in his system – Esdeath!
When he simulated Akame and the others before, he gained a lot of experience in assassination skills, as well as the mysterious silver silk imperial weapon;
When simulating Kamishiro Rize, he also mastered the ghoul’s powerful burst skills.
These successes ignited a raging fire of anticipation in Annan’s heart.
If I simulate Esdeath this time, can I gain her terrifying freezing ability?
If he could really achieve his wish, it would undoubtedly fill his shortcomings in magic and allow him to take a big step towards becoming a peerless genius who practices both magic and martial arts.
“Oh? Do you have another trump card? Want to turn defeat into victory?
Or, are you eagerly waiting for that high-level legendary guard to come and rescue you?”
Esdeath’s beautiful eyes moved, staring closely at Annan’s handsome face in front of her.
For some reason, an indescribable special feeling surged in her heart.
Somehow, I always feel that this young man in front of me is inextricably linked to me.
But when I think about it carefully, I have no clue and can’t figure out the reason.
“To be honest, I really like handsome boys like you!
If the Second Princess hadn’t specifically asked for you, and you weren’t the fiancé of the First Princess,
This general can’t help wanting to have a passionate love affair with you! Haha!”
Esdeath said, reaching out a hand and gently lifting Annan’s chin.
There was a playful smile on his face, and that smile was like the peach blossoms blooming in spring, beautiful yet with a hint of danger.
“Oh? Really? Then the General will soon get what he wants!”
Annan’s lips curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile. The deep meaning hidden in that smile was hard to fathom.
“Hmm? What…”
Before Esdeath could finish her question, something unexpected happened the next second.
Annan took advantage of the moment when Esdeath was distracted, and without hesitation, he silently recited the command in his mind and turned on the system simulator.
In an instant, a light flashed that only he could perceive, and the system’s cold and mechanical prompt sounds rang in his mind:
[Trigger special-level characters and get special entry rewards! ][Obtained the top personality charm and top affinity! The assassination and fighting skills are perfectly inherited! ][Simulated World: Slash the World of Red Eyes! ][Simulation anchor point: Esdeath! ][Simulation starts! ][Going back in time, you had just joined the Imperial Assassination Organization not long ago.
During an assassination mission to the north, the gears of fate began to turn.
You were separated from the main group in the chaos, and were left alone in this icy and snowy northern wilderness.
[At this moment, you are only thirteen years old, and your young face still carries a hint of immaturity.
It has only been three years since you joined the Imperial Assassination Organization. In this cruel northern territory, you are like a lamb that has lost its way. 】
[The wind is howling like ferocious beasts, and the cold snowflakes are hitting your face wantonly, making you feel bone-chilled.
The feeling of hunger surged like a tide, and every step I took felt like a heavy burden was pressing on me.
Sleepiness is always with you, constantly eroding your will. 】
[You stumble forward in this wasteland with difficulty, your legs have long been numb and your vision is becoming increasingly blurred.
Just when you think you are about to die here, swallowed by the endless cold and darkness,
A figure suddenly appears in your field of vision like a beam of light. 】
[At this moment, your body has already reached its limit. Your legs go weak, your eyes go dark, and you fall straight to the snow.
At the last moment when your consciousness fades, you use up your last bit of strength.
What I saw was a petite loli with long blue hair that fell to her crotch, and the ends of her hair were usually tied up with a hair tie. 】
Chapter 33: Young Esdeath! (Old version)
“Cough cough…” A violent cough broke the silence in the tent.
Annan slowly opened his eyes, still with the confusion and ignorance he had just felt when he woke up.
What I saw was a warm but slightly simple tent.
In the middle of the tent, a bonfire was burning.
The jumping flames licked the pot on top happily.
The broth in the pot was bubbling and the rich aroma filled the whole space, tempting everyone.
De’annan felt hungry and couldn’t help swallowing.
“Are you awake?” A cold and sharp voice came from the side.
Annan looked in the direction of the voice and saw a petite blue-haired girl walking briskly towards him.
In her hand she held a bowl of steaming broth; the rising steam blurred her delicate face, making it look more lively and cute.
“My father and I found you on the way to hunting. If it weren’t for me, you might have frozen to death on the roadside! Remember to repay me!”
The little girl raised her chin, her face full of pride, as if she had accomplished something extremely great.
Only then did Annan have the opportunity to take a closer look at the little blue-haired loli in front of him.
Her skin was as white as snow, revealing the tenderness unique to a young girl. Her long blue hair was braided into a long braid, falling softly behind her.
She wore a headscarf with a Baruts cross pattern on her forehead, which not only highlighted her identity but also added a bit of heroic spirit to her.
She wore a short-sleeved top and tight shorts, which perfectly showed off her petite but energetic figure.
He wore a heavy robe on the outside and mid-calf boots on the bottom.
He also had a sharp dagger on his waist, making him look both playful and capable.
“You… who are you?” Annan looked at the little blue-haired loli in front of him and had a vague guess in his mind.
He thought to himself, could this be the little Esdeath?
It is hard to imagine that the cold and domineering imperial general who grew up to be so well-behaved and cute now.
Although he has a bit of a stubborn personality, he is much easier to get along with than when he grew up to be paranoid and cruel.
At least don’t worry, she’ll suddenly throw a powerful ice crystal skill at you.
“My name is Esdeath, and I’m the young chief of this tribe! I want to be as powerful as the chief, my father, in the future!”
As Esdeath spoke, she excitedly drew out the dagger from her waist and gestured in the air twice.
There was a gleam of perseverance in those lively eyes, as if announcing her determination to the world.
Seeing this scene, Annan fell silent.
He knew in his heart that with Esdeath’s ability and ambition, her future achievements would be far more than this.
Not to mention becoming the patriarch of this tribe, even in the entire vast empire,
She, Esdeath, is also a person who stands at the pinnacle of power and force, which is awe-inspiring and frightening.
“Hmm? Why are you different from the other tribe members?
Every time I say this, they make fun of me! It’s disgusting! “
Esdeath looked at Annan’s expression, her eyes full of confusion, and asked with her head tilted, looking like a curious little animal.
“Because I believe you can do it!
Not only will you be as powerful as your father, you will become the most powerful person in the world in the future! I believe in you!”
Annan took the broth from Esdeath with both hands.
He looked at her seriously and spoke firmly word by word.
That sincere look seemed to be able to penetrate time and space and see the brilliant future of Esdeath.
“Ah?! Do you… do you really think I can be that powerful?”
Esdeath’s face instantly lit up with surprise, and she revealed an undisguised look of joy and excitement.
In the past, whenever she expressed her ambitions, her peers would always laugh at her and show disdain.
The adults just smiled perfunctorily and no one really believed in her abilities.
The strange boy in front of her not only affirmed her dream,
With such high expectations placed on her future, how could she not be surprised and happy?
Do I really have such great potential?
Esdeath thought secretly in her heart, with a gleam of longing in her eyes.
How big is this world? She doesn’t know, because she has been to the farthest place.
I just followed my father to hunt in the nearby valleys and plateaus.
But the young man in front of him looked like he was from another place. He must know how vast and wonderful the outside world is.
“Where are you from? Have you ever seen the outside world?
Who is the most powerful person out there right now? How can I defeat him? “
Esdeath asked a series of questions, her eyes full of desire for the unknown world and pursuit of powerful strength. Her eager look made people laugh.
Annan looked at the young Esdeath in front of him, and an inexplicable feeling surged in his heart.
This domineering sister who once killed decisively and majestically on the battlefield,
But at this moment, she transformed into an innocent, curious, petite and lovely little loli. This strong contrast made him feel both novel and interesting.
“Daisy (alias)! Don’t disturb the patient!”
Just then, the curtain of the tent was lifted, and a sturdy middle-aged man strode in.
He is Esdeath’s father and the patriarch of this tribe.
He has a dignified face, and the years have left deep marks on his face, but they have also given him a calm and powerful aura.
The chieftain came to Annan’s side, bent down and carefully checked Annan’s condition.
He turned his palm over again to check the condition of his meridians.
Then he nodded with satisfaction and said:
“It’s no big deal! You should be from the Empire!
I don’t know why you are here, but let me introduce myself.
This is the northern border of the empire, we are the Baruts, a tribe that specializes in hunting dangerous species!”
His voice was deep and powerful, with an unquestionable majesty.
“I’ve seen the injuries on your body and the meridians on your palms. You’re not an ordinary person!
This is why we saved you! Because we, the Baruts, have always believed that only the strong survive!
At your young age, you have such strength.
You shouldn’t freeze or starve to death on the roadside, but die on the battlefield like a soldier!”
The patriarch’s words shocked Annan.
I originally thought it was a rescue out of kindness, but I didn’t expect there was such a reason behind it.
Sure enough, the thinking and behavior style of the fighting nation is different from others.
They respect the strong, fear power, and do not want to see strong people with potential disappear silently.
But no matter what, they saved Annan’s life, and Annan will definitely remember this!
“If you have nowhere to go for a short period of time, you can stay in our camp. We welcome strong people to join us!
Of course, the prerequisite is that you have to show your strength! “
After the patriarch finished speaking, he patiently gave some instructions.
He left the tent with Esdeath, who was still not satisfied.
Annan was left alone in the tent, with a lot of thoughts in his mind…
Chapter 34: The Bond of Esdeath! (Old Version)
In the days that followed, Annan officially settled down in the Baruts tribe.
The cold wind in the north is still biting, but life under the animal skin tents in the tribe is gradually becoming warmer.
Esdeath was like a tireless little sun. She would bring steaming hot meals to Annan on time every day and take care of his daily life.
There was always a gleam of curiosity in her lively eyes, because she was full of endless imagination about the outside world.
Every time she finished doing this, she would sit obediently by the side, with her chin in her hand, looking at Annan eagerly, asking him to tell her stories about the outside world.
From bustling towns to majestic mountains and rivers, from all kinds of people to mysterious adventures,
Esdeath was fascinated by the stories told by Annan.
After a while, their relationship became more harmonious, and the atmosphere when they were together was relaxed and pleasant.
The Baruts tribe lives in the wasteland of the north, where the environment is harsh and dangers abound.
The law of the jungle and survival of the fittest is deeply engraved in the hearts of every member of the tribe.
Because in this land, dangerous species are the main source of food, and only the strong have the ability to hunt powerful dangerous species.
He led the entire tribe through the long winter and was able to survive.
The appearance of Annan, an outsider, was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.
Some of the young men in the tribe looked at this unfamiliar figure and felt a desire to challenge him.
They were eager to prove their strength by defeating Annan.
As time went by, Annan gradually recovered.
He inherited all the assassination and fighting skills from the last simulated world.
The skills he honed on the brink of life and death have long been integrated into his bones.
Now, facing the challenges of several teenagers, he has no fear in his heart. Instead, he is secretly looking forward to a passionate contest.
Finally, on a sunny day, the North rarely showed its gentle side.
The sunlight sprinkled gently on the earth, and a lot of fresh green grass sprouted on the grassland, as if covering the wasteland with a layer of emerald green velvet carpet.
Such fine weather welcomed the important competition day of the Baruts tribe.
On this day, the tribesmen gathered together and selected the strongest warriors to hunt powerful and dangerous species.
This concerns the tribe’s food reserves for a period of time in the future, and also carries the glory and hope of the tribe members.
The atmosphere in the circle formed by huge stones was tense and heated.
Annan stood in the middle, facing the tall and strong young man Struan.
The surrounding Baruts tribesmen formed a circle, shouting and cheering one after another.
“Come on! Struan, defeat that outsider!”
“He doesn’t look half as strong as you, just go for it!”
“Struan, you are the strongest warrior among our young generation!”
These sounds intertwine together like surging waves, one after another.
Esdeath was also in the crowd, her eyes sparkling and full of anticipation.
She clenched her hands into a trumpet shape and shouted to Annan in the distance: “Annan, come on! I’m rooting for you!”
Annan heard her voice, turned around, raised his hand and made a common gesture of the Baruts.
It is a symbol of confidence and responsiveness.
When Esdeath saw Annan’s response, a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
In her mind, after this period of “training” by herself,
Annan will definitely be awarded the title of the first warrior of the younger generation.
The fight officially begins.
Struan is indeed the strongest of the younger generation of the Baruts.
The first move he made was a display of superb and fierce fighting techniques.
His movements were swift and powerful, and each attack was accompanied by a whistling sound, as if he was going to knock down the opponent in front of him instantly.
But unfortunately, his opponent was Annan.
Annan inherited all the assassination and fighting skills he had acquired over the past decade in the previous simulation.
Coupled with his original strength as a master-level warrior, he seemed to be able to handle Struan’s attack with ease.
Annan is flexible and light-footed, like an agile cheetah.
He cleverly dodged Struan’s attacks, his eyes calm and sharp, looking for his opponent’s flaws.
In just three rounds, Annan found the right opportunity.
A beautiful dodge, close to Struan, followed by a neat sweep,
Knocked Struan to the ground.
Before Struan could react, he fell heavily to the ground and fainted from the pain.
This is when Annan held back. Otherwise, with his strength, even without weapons,
He could easily take Struan’s life with one strike.
“You are very strong, but I will defeat you one day!”
Struan woke up slowly, looking at the handsome young man in front of him, with a hint of unwillingness and fighting spirit in his eyes.
“Well, I’ll wait for the day when you challenge me again!” Annan responded with a smile. He admired Struan’s courage and persistence.
As Annan became the strongest of the younger generation of the Baruts,
He was also officially accepted as a member of the Baruts tribe.
The way people looked at him changed from suspicion and curiosity at first to recognition and admiration today.
At this moment, Esdeath looked at the radiant Annan in front of her with admiration in her eyes.
In the Baruts tribe, the strong are respected and believe in the law of the jungle. As the daughter of the tribe leader, Esdeath
I firmly believe in this concept.
Annan’s strength caused waves of emotion in her heart.
In the days that followed, Annan completely integrated into the life of the Baruts.
He went out hunting with his tribesmen, chasing the traces of dangerous species in the ice and snow;
Forage for food together and identify edible plants in the wilderness;
Join the tribe’s bonfire party together, and feel the enthusiasm and unity of the tribesmen beside the blazing flames.
Here, his relationship with Esdeath gradually became closer without him realizing it.
By the campfire, the bright firelight illuminated the faces of Annan and Esdeath.
The flames leaped, reflecting their young and energetic silhouettes.
“Annan, is it really as exciting outside as you say?
When I grow up, I will go out and become an excellent and strong warrior!”
Esdeath said with a hint of longing in her eyes as she looked at the stars in the sky.
The stars twinkled faintly, just like her vision of the future, distant yet charming.
“Yes, Daisy will definitely become an excellent and powerful warrior. I have always believed in this!”
Annan looked at the strong-willed Esdeath and a gentle smile appeared in his eyes.
In his heart, Esdeath is like a gem that is being polished and will surely shine brightly in the future.
“I will also participate in tomorrow’s hunting operation. My father said that this is something that every child of the Baruts must go through!”
When talking about tomorrow’s hunting operation, Esdeath’s eyes revealed a hint of excitement and nervousness.
After hearing this, Annan frowned slightly.
He knew that this was a unique custom of the Baruts.
To grow up, every child must hunt a dangerous species independently, and this hunt must be done alone once a year.
Esdeath is only twelve years old this year, but she has hunted dangerous species independently twice.
And tomorrow will be the third time.
This is also the reason why Esdeath’s father asked Annan to take care of her.
“Yes! I’ll go with you tomorrow!”
Annan looked at Esdeath in front of him and said with a gentle smile.
His voice was firm and powerful, like a reassurance to Esdeath.
“Well! This time I must hunt a more dangerous species of a higher level!”
Esdeath clenched her fists, a hint of fighting spirit in her eyes.
Her face flushed slightly with excitement, and her unwillingness to admit defeat,
Annan couldn’t help but sigh in his heart: He is worthy of being the future battle maniac…
Chapter 35: Alien Massacre! (Old Version)
The next day, the lead-gray sky seemed like a huge curtain, pressing heavily down on the earth.
Fine snowflakes fluttered down from the sky.
The northern border is already cold and frozen, with vast expanses of wasteland that are flat and unobstructed.
The biting cold wind, carrying snowflakes, rushed in.
But in a moment, the white snowflakes weaved a thin blanket of snow on the earth, and everything was covered in silver.
Annan and Esdeath embarked on the journey side by side.
This time, their destination was a valley deep in the wilderness.
There lived a dangerous group of creatures there. They were creatures that looked like saber-toothed tigers.
Its entire body is covered with thick, long hair, making it a dangerous species that people fear.
Esdeath had a clear goal in mind – to hunt down an adult dangerous species.
This is to demonstrate one’s strength and also to obtain precious resources for the tribe.
As they approached the valley, Annan, with his sharp eyes, suddenly discovered some unfamiliar footprints crisscrossing on the snow.
“These footprints seem to be left by humans. Could it be that someone got here before us?”
Annan squatted down, traced the edge of the footprints with his fingers, and asked with a puzzled look on his face.
Esdeath also leaned over to check.
She grew up in the North. As a member of the Baruts tribe, she knows everything about this land.
The techniques of tracking and investigation are even more sophisticated.
After a moment, her face turned stern and she said in a deep voice:
“These are traces of the northern aliens! They have always been in conflict with our tribe, and the grudges are long-standing.”
“Northern aliens?”
Annan couldn’t help but frown when he heard this.
He knew very well that Esdeath’s people had died tragically at the hands of the northern barbarians.
That devastating disaster planted the seeds of hatred in Esdeath’s heart.
It also shaped her paranoid personality that led to her enjoying war, indulging in abuse and torture in the future.
Esdeath carefully observed the traces around her and said:
“However, judging from the direction of the footprints, they should have gone somewhere else, which does not coincide with our target location.”
Annan felt relieved, but a new worry came to him: “Will they turn around and attack our camp?”
Esdeath thought for a moment and shook her head.
“No. At this time of year, the aliens are busy migrating, and they won’t attack the camp.
Besides, the chance to find dangerous species is rare, and we have come this far.
Don’t give up halfway, it’s important to finish the hunt first!”
Annan weighed the pros and cons and nodded, “Okay, let’s focus on completing the hunting operation first.”
The two men had made up their minds and headed towards the valley cautiously.
When we reached the edge of the valley and looked down, we saw a cave at the bottom of the valley.
More than a dozen dangerous species that looked like long-haired saber-toothed tigers were either lying or crawling, leisurely living there.
These dangerous species are huge, with muscles barely visible under their long fur.
The sharp fangs gleamed coldly in the light of the snow.
Just by looking at them from a distance, you can feel the dangerous aura emanating from them.
At the same time, in the Baruts’ camp, heavy snow fell like goose feathers.
The sky and the earth were covered in white, visibility was getting lower and lower, and the sight was only a few feet away.
The campsite was eerily quiet, with only the faint sound of snowflakes falling.
A group of northern alien tribal warriors were quietly approaching the camp, taking advantage of the bad weather.
Their figures were hidden in the wind and snow, and their footsteps were light, like a group of ghosts.
Suddenly, a patrol warrior of the Baruts tribe felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart.
He tightened his grip on the weapon in his hand and was about to warn:
“Enemy…” Before the word “attack” came out,
A cold light flashed, and a flying blade hit his neck accurately.
His eyes widened, a muffled “gurgle” sound came out of his throat, and he fell straight into the snow.
The blood quickly spread on the white snow, creating a blinding crimson color.
“Kill!” “Charge!” “Roar!”
In an instant, the long-suppressed roars of the alien warriors broke through the wind and snow, echoing around the camp.
They poured into the camp like a tide, their weapons flashing coldly.
He hacked and killed the defenseless Baruts people crazily.
The tribesmen who were sleeping were awakened by the sudden shouting and killing.
He stood up hastily and frantically looked for weapons to resist.
However, everything happened too suddenly, and they were defeated step by step under the fierce attack of the foreign race.
The cries of women, the screams of children, and the clash of weapons intertwined together to play a tragic song of war.
A blazing fire was set ablaze in the camp, the flames shot up into the sky.
The flying snow in the sky was reflected in red, and a bloody massacre was mercilessly staged in this icy and snowy land…
Chapter 36: Annan’s Promise! (Old Version)
A few days later, the biting cold wind was still howling across the ice field, like the roaring of countless ferocious beasts.
Annan and Esdeath finished a hunt and dragged their heavy prey towards the camp.
Along the way, the two talked and laughed, sharing the thrilling moments and interesting details of hunting.
However, the moment their sight fell on the camp, the smiles instantly disappeared from their faces, replaced by shock and fear.
What came into their eyes was a messy and dilapidated camp that looked like a Shura battlefield.
The tents that were originally neatly arranged were now tilted to one side or the other. Some had been burned by the fire to only charred skeletons, swaying in the cold wind.
On the ground, the condensed blood ice flickered with a strange light under the sunlight.
Esdeath subconsciously tightened the weapon in her hand, and her animal leather boots stepped heavily on the blood ice.
There was a clear cracking sound, and the sound was like the wailing of the camp.
When that side once symbolized the glory of the tribe,
The camp flag is now in tatters. When Esdeath saw it,
There was a flash of shock and disbelief in her eyes.
“Dad? Dad?!” Her trembling voice echoed in the empty camp, but there was no response.
Seeing this tragic scene, Esdeath suddenly became panicked.
She let go of the prey in her hand and ran towards the depths of the camp regardless of everything.
He ran and called his father’s name, his voice full of anxiety and fear.
Seeing this scene, Annan sighed slightly in his heart and whispered to himself:
“What was supposed to come has finally come!” A trace of helplessness and sadness flashed in his eyes.
Then he followed Esdeath’s footsteps and ran quickly into the camp.
Looking at the broken tent, the corpses and blood on the ground, and the messy scene.
His brows were tightly furrowed, and he secretly wondered what kind of thrilling battle had taken place here to lead to such a tragic situation.
“Dad!”
At this moment, the girl’s terrified scream was heard. Annan’s heart tightened and he quickly ran towards the source of the sound.
Esdeath was seen slumped beside a headless corpse, her eyes empty and desperate.
Annan walked closer and based on the outline of the body, he could clearly see that the person in front of him was Esdeath’s father.
The old patriarch’s right hand was still tightly grasping the half-broken sword. The blade of the sword had curled up and there was still traces of the enemy’s blood on it.
Even until his death, he is still fighting to protect his people!
The direction his broken sword pointed was exactly the direction where the northern aliens evacuated, as if telling the world his unwillingness and anger.
At this moment, Esdeath’s pupils shrank to the size of a needle tip due to extreme grief and anger.
Her right hand unconsciously pressed on the hilt of the sword, and her knuckles turned blue and white due to excessive force.
She was trying hard to suppress the pain and anger in her heart.
Annan stood silently by the side, watching the scene in front of him, with mixed feelings in his heart.
He shifted his gaze to the body on the other side and found that it was the young man who once competed with him – Struan.
Struan, once the most powerful young generation in the tribe, was full of vigor and vitality.
He also made an agreement with Annan that they must have another match in the future and defeat Annan.
And now, his body was tightly hugging an alien warrior, and the two of them rolled into the fire and died together.
Of Struan’s body, only his head was barely recognizable, as the rest of his body had been burned to charcoal.
Annan felt a pang of bitterness in his heart as he recalled every moment he had spent with Struan.
The laughter and joy of the past seem to still echo in my ears, but now they are gone.
“Father!…” Esdeath slowly knelt in front of the totem pole in the center of the camp.
Her voice was filled with endless sorrow, as if it could shatter the entire ice field.
Her father’s body was placed solemnly before the totem pole.
On the totem pole carved with the giant frost wolf, the battle pattern of the northern aliens was painted in blood – seven bloody moons surrounding the decapitated wolf head.
The glaring battle pattern seemed like a mockery and provocation to their tribe.
“They took my father’s head and eyes.”
Esdeath’s voice was cold and indifferent, as if it came from the Nine Nether Hell.
“The northern tribes believe that the enemy’s pupils contain a fighting spirit, and they string them into a necklace to offer to their totem snow demon…”
Her words were full of hatred. After she finished speaking, she suddenly grabbed a handful of blood-stained snow.
Then she crushed it hard, and the crushed snow seemed to represent her hatred for her enemy.
Her long, braided ice-blue hair began to spread out automatically in the absence of wind.
Flying freely in the cold wind, it seemed to be the embodiment of her inner anger.
“No, I want to bring back my father’s head and eyes!”
As Esdeath spoke, a strong and cold look appeared in her eyes, which was a determination that she would not give up until she achieved her goal.
Seeing this, Annan hurried forward and held the girl’s slightly trembling shoulders, and persuaded her:
“They were able to massacre the entire camp, not only because of their large numbers, but also because of their strength!
If you go there like this, you will die!”
After hearing Annan’s words, Esdeath still looked cold and strong.
She shook off Annan’s hand and asked:
“Should we let them take my father’s head and let them do whatever they want with it, and take it back for sacrifice?”
Her eyes were burning with anger as she stared at Annan, as if blaming him for his cowardice.
After hearing what Esdeath said, Annan fell silent.
He knew very well how Esdeath felt at the moment, a complex emotion of the pain of losing a loved one and hatred for the enemy.
He lowered his head, thought for a moment, then raised his head and said with a firm look in his eyes:
“Give me two days, and I will bring back the chieftain’s head!
If it weren’t for him, I might have frozen to death on the roadside!
Now, all I can do for him is to bring back his head intact!”
After saying this, he reached out and pulled off the animal tooth necklace from around his neck. It was the gift of adulthood given to him by the old patriarch the night before.
It carries the old patriarch’s expectations and trust in him.
“I mean what I say!” His voice was firm, full of confidence and determination.
Annan turned around and resolutely walked in the direction where the old patriarch’s broken sword was pointing.
“I’ll go with you!” Esdeath’s voice came from behind.
Her face was a little pale, but her eyes still revealed a stubborn look.
Annan stopped but did not look back. He just said coldly:
“You’ll only be a burden if you follow me! I’ll be faster on my own!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he exerted force on his feet and rushed towards the distance like a black lightning.
At this moment, Esdeath was looking at Annan’s back, and the original stubbornness and strength in her eyes gradually became complicated.
Of course she knew that with Annan’s strength, bringing her along would only be a burden.
After all, Esdeath is not yet strong enough to compete with those brutal northern barbarians.
Going with her would only distract Annan from taking care of her.
Not only might she not be able to bring back her father’s head, but she and Annan might also be buried forever on that dangerous ice field.
“Annan! You must come back alive…!”
She prayed silently in her heart, tears flashing in her eyes, and she was also worried about Annan!
Chapter 37: The Girl’s Cry! (Old Version)
The cold wind was like a sharp blade, cutting through the land covered with ice and snow.
Annan moved forward steadily, and the sound of ice breaking came from under his boots. He was crushing the witchcraft totem drawn with wolf blood under the ice.
Those strange runes seemed to have life, and they let out deathly screams under the snow. The sound was shrill, as if they were wailing for the impending destruction.
Annan narrowed his eyes slightly, shook the sword in his hand, and the tip of the sword stirred up a puff of flying snow.
The crystal ice particles refracted a strange light under the gray sky, illuminating thirty-seven axe-wielding figures.
These alien warriors exuded murderous intent. Under Annan’s sharp gaze,
Every trace of murderous intent was clearly visible.
Their eyes were cold and fierce, like hungry wolves, staring at the prey in front of them.
At the same time, the witch in the distance was standing in the wind and snow, his figure vague.
He held the staff tightly in both hands and slammed it heavily on the ground with a dull sound.
The eye sockets of the twelve frozen corpses suddenly lit up with ghostly blue fire, making them look particularly eerie and terrifying in this world of ice and snow.
The skeleton of the ice corpse quickly grew ice crystal barbs in the howling snowstorm.
When their joints turn, the sound they make is like a glacier cracking, dull and terrifying, as if announcing the coming of death.
Annan had a stern look on his face, without the slightest fear.
He suddenly spun around and slashed with a smooth and swift movement. The sword blade drew a perfect circular trajectory in the air, and the speed was so fast that people could only see a flash of cold light.
The heads of the seven ice corpses flew up in response, but that was not the end. Those heads instantly exploded into a rain of poisoned ice spikes in the air, like sharp hidden weapons, shooting towards Annan.
“Mirror refraction!” Annan shouted in a low voice. Although his voice was not loud, it was clearly audible in the wind and snow.
Then he swung his sword quickly, drawing a huge ice crystal mirror.
This mirror is crystal clear, yet it contains mysterious power.
When the icy spikes shot towards him, their trajectories suddenly twisted strangely.
As if being pulled by an invisible force, it shot towards the alien warriors rushing towards it from behind.
There was a scream, and the ice spikes pierced through their bodies, and hot blood mist spurted out from the wounds.
However, before the blood mist fell to the ground, it quickly condensed into scarlet ice beads in this extremely cold environment, and then scattered on the snow, which was particularly dazzling.
Upon seeing this, the witch’s incantations suddenly became sharper, the sound of which seemed to be able to pierce a person’s eardrums.
As the spell was chanted, the remaining ice corpses began to merge, and in the blink of an eye they turned into a three-meter-tall snow demon.
This snow demon was huge in size, with the old patriarch’s head embedded in its chest, which looked particularly terrifying.
Every time its icy claws swung,
They will create tornadoes filled with broken ice, which are extremely powerful, and ice and snow will fly wherever they go.
Annan’s eyes flashed, and he rushed towards the snow demon without any retreat.
The tip of his sword collided fiercely with the snow demon’s ice claws. In an instant, terrible sword energy burst out from the sword body, making a “buzzing” sound.
This is the inherited swordsmanship of the Lion Family, which embodies the family’s glory and strength. At this moment, it shows amazing power in this snowy world.
“Break!” Annan shouted angrily, with a cold look in his pupils, as if he could freeze the whole world.
His sword moves suddenly changed strangely. The seemingly simple straight stab contained the wonderful power of space folding.
Just when everyone thought that his sword was going to pierce the snow demon head-on, the tip of the sword suddenly appeared from the back of the snow demon’s neck, which was amazing.
The ice giant howled in pain after being struck by this fatal blow.
Then it collapsed with a loud bang, breaking into countless ice cubes that scattered all over the ground.
The old patriarch’s head was also thrown high into the sky by this powerful air wave, drawing an arc in the wind and snow.
When the witch saw that his snow demon was defeated, a look of madness appeared on his face.
The staff in his hand exploded at this moment, and the two hundred eyeballs embedded in it exploded at the same time.
It turned into a blood mist that filled the sky, covering everything around it, and the bloody smell spread.
In this sudden incident, Annan felt his right leg suddenly go numb, and then he lost consciousness.
He looked down and saw that the blood ice had already reached his knees and was spreading rapidly upwards.
At the same time, five alien warriors seized this opportunity and rushed forward to surround them.
The axes in their hands were waving in the blizzard, flashing with cold light, weaving a web of death to trap Annan in it.
Annan was not flustered, his eyes became more determined.
The sword light appeared like a crescent moon, particularly dazzling in the dark snow.
He used the broken sword to support himself on the ground, spun rapidly, and kicked out at the same time.
With this movement, ice crystals gushed out from the wound on his leg.
The nearest enemy was instantly frozen into an ice sculpture, and the enemy was still in an attacking posture, frozen in the ice.
Annan did not hesitate at all. He grabbed the bone spear stuck in his shoulder with his backhand and pulled it out with all his strength.
The bloody spear tip drew an arc in the air and accurately pierced the throat of the second enemy.
Blood spurted from the enemy’s neck and spilled onto the snow.
When the third warrior’s axe blade chopped into his left shoulder, he endured the pain and pressed his fingertips on the opponent’s heart.
Then, the power in his hands burst out, and he pulled out the still beating heart with his bare hands. His action was decisive and ruthless.
The witch saw that his side was losing step by step and wanted to escape.
How could Annan give him a chance? He caught up with the witch in a few quick steps, raised his sword and swung it down, sending the witch’s head rolling onto the snow.
At this time, Annan’s clothes had already been tightly stuck to the wound by the blood ice, and every movement caused severe pain.
He tore open the witch’s fur cloak with his teeth and wrapped the old chief’s head with trembling hands.
Only then did he realize that his left hand, including his entire left arm, was covered with numerous wounds.
In three of the wounds, the bones were visible, and the white bones looked particularly terrifying in the snow.
There was also a hideous wound on his calf, from which evil black power continued to flow.
That was the foreign witch’s vicious counterattack before his death, and the wound was being eroded at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Annan wrapped the old chief’s head and staggered three miles in the snow.
At this moment, he felt his physical strength rapidly draining away, and the world in front of him began to become blurry.
Looking at the white snow in the distance, he felt dizzy and his body could no longer support him, and he fell to the edge of an ice crack.
Just as his consciousness was becoming blurred, he vaguely saw Esdeath running towards him in the snowstorm.
Her face no longer had the usual toughness and strength, but was replaced by anxiety and concern.
Her blue hair spread out in the snow, and every strand seemed to carry a spirit.
It looks really beautiful in this snowy environment…!
“I found it…”
Annan used up his last bit of strength to push the blood-stained package into Esdeath’s arms.
The voice was weak but firm.
“This is my father’s head. I… have fulfilled my promise!”
Before he fell into complete darkness, Annan heard the girl’s slightly crying voice.
Over and over again, filled with anxious concern:
“Annan, you can’t die! You promised me that you would see me become the strongest in the entire empire…”
Chapter 38: Fateful Reunion! (Old Version)
The picture turned rapidly like a spinning kaleidoscope, and the memories of my youth surged like a surging tide.
It kept swirling in Annan’s mind.
Those past scenes, laughing, chasing, fighting, emerged one by one,
In the end, all the images froze at the moment when Broken Dragon Cliff fell into the river.
In the last simulation, Annan protected Akahime, Mine and others.
Annan rushed towards the enemy resolutely, but was eventually defeated and fell into the fast-flowing river below the Broken Dragon Cliff.
The freezing cold river water swallowed him up in an instant, and darkness and despair followed him like a shadow.
At this time, on a shallow beach below the river,
A pale but still handsome boy lay quietly in the sand.
His clothes were torn to pieces, and his body was covered with wounds of varying sizes.
The dried blood stains his skin and clothes, looking shocking.
This is Annan who is in a coma.
Boom boom——!!
The earth was shaking, and a rapid and heavy sound of horse hooves came from far away.
A cavalry team galloped over like a black torrent.
A cloud of dust rose behind them.
The leader was none other than the Imperial General Esdeath, who was dressed in an exquisite and majestic Imperial military uniform.
A head of long blue hair like a waterfall, flying freely in the wind.
“Report to the general, we have found the prisoner we were pursuing!
He was just on the shallows ahead, but it seemed that he was seriously injured and unconscious!
How to deal with it, please let the general decide!”
A scout soldier rode his horse at full speed, came to Esdeath, knelt on one knee, and reported respectfully.
“Hmm? Did you catch him? Take me over to see him!”
Esdeath’s face was cold, and there was no warmth in her voice. She seemed to have walked out of the ice and snow of the North.
He exudes an icy aura that keeps people at a distance.
In front of outsiders, she always hides her emotions deeply, except in the smoke of war.
And when faced with the torture and killing of enemies, she seemed to have no other emotional fluctuations.
When Esdeath arrived at the scene, her gaze passed through the heavy soldiers and fell on the figure that was being guarded and alerted by everyone.
The figure lay defenseless and unconscious on the shallows of the river, allowing the cold river water to wash over him from time to time.
“This is……”
Esdeath’s heroic face frowned slightly, and an inexplicable sense of familiarity surged in her heart.
The feeling was so strong that it drove her forward involuntarily.
When she got closer and saw the face of the person in front of her clearly, her pupils suddenly shrank.
Memories suddenly came flooding back like a flood. The face of the person in front of her gradually overlapped with the person deep in her memory.
Even though ten years have passed by so quickly,
But that person never faded from her memory at all. Instead, he became more deeply rooted as time went by.
“An… Nan…!?”
The moment she saw this person’s face, Esdeath could hardly believe her eyes. Her lips trembled slightly as she whispered the name.
The farewell that year seems like it happened yesterday.
Yet it seemed as if a century had already passed.
In the past ten years, she has gone from being a lonely little girl who lost her parents and her tribe to experiencing countless cruel wars and battles.
He grew step by step to become the strongest general in the empire.
And the boy in her memory, the boy who had accompanied her through a short but wonderful time,
It turns out that he has been the target she has been ordered to hunt down!
At the beginning, she should have thought that Annan possessed extraordinary strength at such a young age, and his background must be complicated.
But no one would have thought that he was actually the captain of the revolutionary army’s night attack team.
“Everyone, step back! Don’t come near without my order! Park my carriage here!”
Esdeath’s expression instantly became extremely serious, her eyes revealing unquestionable majesty, and she gave stern orders to the soldiers around her.
“Yes, General!”
All around were Esdeath’s personal soldiers. They had followed Esdeath in battles for many years, fighting in many battles.
Esdeath still trusts them.
She knew very well that these people would never dare to reveal anything about what happened today without her order.
Esdeath walked quickly to Annan, squatted down, and examined his injuries carefully with gentle but capable movements.
Looking at the shocking wounds on Annan’s body, a barely perceptible trace of heartache flashed in her eyes.
She quickly took out the medicine she carried with her and gave Annan a simple bandage.
Then, she bent down without hesitation and used all her strength to pick up the unconscious Princess Annan.
Annan’s slender body seemed a little heavy in her arms, but she held him firmly.
She walked towards the carriage step by step, and each step seemed to carry an inviolable aura.
When the guards around saw this scene, they were so shocked that their eyes widened and their jaws almost dropped to the ground.
They could never have imagined that the general, who was usually arrogant, cold and paranoid,
How could she carry a prisoner in such a gentle manner?!
And judging from the general’s expression and actions, the relationship between this man and the general seems to be extremely special!
“Um?!”
As if she felt the strange gazes around her, Esdeath frowned slightly and swept her eyes around like a sharp blade.
Seeing this, the guards around him instantly looked at their noses and their hearts, imagining themselves as unconscious wooden men, not even daring to breathe.
After all, they all knew that the general was a man who was famous for enjoying war, killing and torture!
If you accidentally anger the general and fall into her hands, the outcome would be worse than death!
Fortunately, Esdeath did not make any other moves. Instead, she turned around and instructed the soldiers behind her:
“Immediately send the military doctor over to treat him with all their strength. If there is any mistake, bring your head to justice!”
The voice was still cold, but with a hint of urgency…
Chapter 39: The Conflict between Position and Friendship! (Old Version)
Time passes slowly.
It was not until the third day that the sunlight shone through the gaps in the carriage and onto Annan’s slightly pale face.
His eyelashes fluttered slightly and he slowly opened his eyes.
The first thing that caught my eye was a face that was exquisitely beautiful yet also daring and heroic. That was Esdeath.
The space around him shook slightly, and he realized that he seemed to be in a carriage.
The interior of the car is decorated simply yet elegantly, with a faint sandalwood scent lingering at the tip of the nose, giving people a feeling of tranquility and comfort.
“Are you awake?!”
When Esdeath saw Annan wake up, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, a teasing smile appeared on her face, and she said softly,
The sound was like a clear mountain spring, crisp and pleasant, yet concealing a hint of mockery.
“Come to think of it, this should be the second time I saved your life!”
There was a different light flashing in her eyes, and she stared at Annan closely, as if waiting for his response.
Hearing this, Annan couldn’t help but reveal a bitter smile, which was mixed with a bit of helplessness and emotion.
“Indeed, I owe you and the old tribesmen two lives!”
His voice was a little hoarse, and every word seemed to carry heavy memories.
When Esdeath mentioned her father, the smile on her face instantly disappeared and her eyes became deep.
“I still have to thank you for what happened back then!”
She paused slightly, and her tone became solemn and sincere.
“If it weren’t for you! I alone would never have been able to take back my father’s head from the hands of those northern barbarians! Let him rest in peace!
In the beliefs of our Baruts people,
If you can’t bury them completely, your soul won’t be reincarnated and will forever fall into hell, with no way out for eternity!”
She stared at Annan firmly, her eyes full of complexity.
At this point, Esdeath’s expression suddenly became serious. She stared at Annan closely and spoke word by word:
“What happened in the past is what happened in the past, but now you and I are on different sides, and we will eventually have to fight each other!”
There was a hint of determination in her words, as if she was announcing to Annan the inevitable conflict between them.
“Then I wonder how you, General, are going to deal with me, your prisoner?!”
Annan had just woken up at this time, his body was still extremely weak, and his face still had a slightly sickly paleness.
But his eyes were firm as he looked at Esdeath with a faint smile on his face.
There seemed to be a hint of amusement hidden in that smile.
“Annan! What good is a night attack?
Why do you keep working for them? With your strength, you can definitely get a position and power that is not weaker than mine when you come to the Empire!
Why bother?
Esdeath’s brows were tightly furrowed, and a layer of icy coldness seemed to emanate from her body, which seemed to freeze the air around her.
She really didn’t understand why Annan, with his abilities, would choose to be an enemy of the empire.
“Different philosophies, each of us has his own path!”
Annan didn’t explain much, he just slowly closed his eyes and said lightly.
His voice was calm and steady, as if he was stating an established fact without any hint of argument.
“I’m a little hungry! Would the general want to kill me now and not let me eat my fill before I leave?”
Annan suddenly changed the subject, opened his eyes, and said with a teasing look on his face.
He tried to break the depressing and heavy atmosphere and used a joke to ease the tense relationship between them.
Hearing this, Esdeath looked at Annan deeply.
There were complex emotions in those eyes, including confusion, helplessness, and a hint of indescribable concern.
Then she turned and walked out of the carriage, and told the soldiers outside to prepare food in the kitchen.
Her back was straight and resolute, yet faintly revealed a hint of loneliness.
The carriage stopped and started along the winding road, and the wheels made a rhythmic sound when they rubbed against the ground.
It’s like a long journey song.
Not long after, they finally arrived at the imperial capital.
The most magnificent city in the empire is like a shining pearl, emitting an eye-catching light.
The streets are bustling with traffic and people coming and going.
The shops on the street are full of all kinds of goods. The sounds of hawking, chatting and laughing are intertwined, forming a picture of a prosperous and bustling market.
Even though the corruption of Minister Ernest caused the entire empire to gradually decay and degenerate, it was still difficult to conceal the prosperity of the imperial capital.
When Esdeath returned to her mansion, Annan was also placed there.
The mansion is large in scale, with deep courtyards and elegant and solemn architectural style.
The garden is full of various exotic flowers and plants. It is now in bloom, and the flowers are in full bloom, colorful, and exuding bursts of charming fragrance.
Esdeath’s attitude towards Annan at this time is really hard to explain.
If Annan had not stood on the opposite side of the empire, Esdeath would have been delighted to see him again.
Because the happy times they had lived together were like bright stars, shining brightly in her memory.
During that time, Esdeath regarded Annan as the only “relative” left in the world!
For Esdeath, who has been fighting for years and has a strong and paranoid heart, it is almost impossible for her to have real friends in this world!
But Annan is an exception!
He is also the only person in the world who may understand Esdeath!
“Actually, I’ve figured it out! Even though we have different ideas, I think we’re still friends at least! Isn’t that right?”
Esdeath looked at Annan who had recovered, and a gentle smile appeared on her lips again.
Her eyes were full of anticipation, as if she was longing for Annan’s approval.
“Indeed, I have always regarded you as a friend.
And that time was also the happiest time of my youth! “
The two walked side by side in the garden of the mansion, looking at the gorgeous flowers blooming all around, and Annan said with a smile.
His smile was sincere and warm, as if he had returned to his carefree youth.
“Back in the day in the North, I couldn’t see such bright flowers!”
Annan raised his head slightly, took a deep breath of the fragrance of the flowers, and said with emotion.
The ice and snow in the north formed a sharp contrast with the flourishing flowers in front of us.
It made him recall those difficult yet unforgettable years.
“Of course, in a bitter and cold place like the North, it’s useless to look good!
Only strength is the only bargaining chip for survival! “
Esdeath looked at Annan and suddenly revealed a paranoid smile.
In her opinion, the harsh living environment in the North made her deeply understand the importance of strength, which also shaped her current strong character.
“You can understand this as, I am stronger than you now!
If I force you to stay with me, you won’t be able to resist!”
There was a hint of unquestionable confidence in her tone, as if she was showing Annan her absolute power.
After hearing Esdeath’s words, Annan seemed to have known her character for a long time. He smiled and shook his head.
“You are indeed still the same as before, still like to speak with strength!
You Baruts people really worship the law of the jungle!
Of course, if you use your strength, I will naturally surrender!”
He spread his hands, looking indifferent. That relaxed posture seemed to tell Esdeath that he didn’t care about this kind of power oppression.
As the old saying goes, life is like being raped. If you can’t resist, you can only enjoy it!
Since you can’t win anyway, why not just lie down!
He thought to himself, but still had that cynical smile on his face.
“So, you agree to stay with me!”
Esdeath raised the corner of her mouth, revealing a hint of pride.
“Then from now on, you belong to me! Annan!”
There was a gleam in her eyes, as if it was something she had been waiting for for a long time…
Chapter 40: In-depth communication with Esdeath! (Old version)
The night is like a thick piece of black satin, gently covering the whole world.
In Esdeath’s room, the warm yellow light shines through the exquisite lampshade, casting circles of warm halos on the surrounding walls.
The room was decorated luxuriously and warmly, with expensive carpets as soft as spring grass, making no sound when stepped on;
There are several art paintings hanging on the wall, adding a touch of elegance to the space.
“No? Is this what you mean by discussing something?”
Annan’s voice was tinged with doubt, and his gaze withdrew from the luxurious room decoration and fell on Esdeath’s face.
Esdeath’s mouth corners slightly raised, and a sly smile slowly appeared on her beautiful face.
Annan suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, and he couldn’t help but sigh in his heart,
I was still too naive and didn’t expect that there was a different meaning behind this so-called “discussing things”.
“Of course, we can discuss things in bed~!”
Esdeath’s voice was like a spring breeze, gentle yet carrying an irresistible power.
She gave Annan a gentle push and he fell onto the soft big bed.
Then, Esdeath pressed forward, her slender and powerful hands,
He held firmly on both sides of Annan’s body, holding him firmly beneath him.
Annan subconsciously wanted to dodge and glanced down in panic.
In an instant, two majestic mountains came into view. His face turned red all the way to his ears, and in panic he could only look up at Esdeath.
There was a smile on Esdeath’s beautiful face, and a different light was flashing in her eyes, as if she was hiding endless secrets.
“Annan-kun~Tonight! You belong to me!”
Esdeath said softly, her voice full of sweetness and possessiveness.
Taking advantage of the moment when Annan was stunned, she leaned over slightly and kissed him gently.
Her lips were soft and warm, with a faint fragrance.
Annan’s eyes widened, his face filled with shock and disbelief.
Annan: “???!!”
My mind went blank for a moment, and the whole world seemed to stop at this moment.
All he could feel was Esdeath’s gentle kiss and his own thunderous heartbeat.
After the kiss, Esdeath raised her head slightly, with an intoxicated look on her face, as if she was still savoring the sweetness just now.
Annan looked at her in front of him, his eyes became complicated, and various emotions surged in his heart, including surprise, joy, and more confusion.
“So, Miss Esdeath likes me?!”
Annan hesitated for a moment, but still asked the question in his mind.
There was a hint of certainty in his voice, but he still hoped that Esdeath would say it herself.
After hearing Annan’s words, Esdeath admitted generously without any hesitation:
“Yes! I liked Annan very much when I was little!
During those years when the empire was at war, I wasn’t actually happy!
War, slaughter and torture are nothing more than a cover-up for the anxiety and emptiness deep within our hearts!
The happiest time for me is when I am with Annan!”
Her eyes revealed sincerity and affection, emotions that had been buried deep in her heart for many years, and were now displayed to Annan without reservation.
Esdeath fell into memories, her thoughts drifting back to the first time she met Annan.
At that time, the sun shone on the handsome face of the young man, and he was like a ray of light.
It illuminates Esdeath’s otherwise dark and monotonous world.
From that moment on, her heart was attracted to this young man.
During the days when Annan was seriously injured, she took good care of him, pouring her care and love into every detail.
During the time they spent with Annan, they strolled along the mountain trails together and shared each other’s joys and sorrows.
That kind of relaxed and pleasant feeling of getting along with others was something Esdeath had never experienced in the Baruts, a tribe that believed in the law of the jungle.
In that world full of fighting and cruelty, Annan brought her warmth and tranquility, allowing her to feel a different kind of beauty in life.
Later, Annan would rather be covered in bruises than not bring back his father’s head.
At that moment, Esdeath looked at the boy’s determined back, and a strong emotion surged in her heart.
She knew that the figure of the young man in front of her had unknowingly occupied her entire heart.
Annan’s sudden departure plunged Esdeath into endless pain and confusion.
She searched for him frantically, leaving no corner untouched, but still could not find any trace of him.
During that time, she buried herself in war and killing.
Trying to numb the pain in my heart with busyness and blood,
But the longing is always with me, growing deeper and deeper.
Later, she joined the imperial army, and with her outstanding strength, she stepped up to her current high position step by step.
On countless quiet nights, she would think of Annan and the good times they had spent together.
When they met again, Esdeath thought she would hate Annan very much, hated him for leaving without saying goodbye, and hated him for making her suffer for so many years.
But when she saw Annan, once again seriously injured, lying on the river bank,
All the resentment in my heart disappeared without a trace in an instant, and was replaced by endless heartache and concern.
At that moment, Esdeath completely understood that she would only love one person in her life, and that person was Annan.
“When you left without saying goodbye, I had such a hard time looking for you!”
As Esdeath spoke, a trace of grievance flashed in her eyes.
She reached out and gently unbuttoned Annan’s clothes, her movements gentle yet somewhat domineering.
“So… tonight, you have to make it up to me!”
The crazy smirk returned to her face once again, and a cunning gleam appeared in her eyes.
Seeing this scene, Annan felt a chill on his back and an inexplicable fear surged in his heart.
He simply couldn’t imagine what kind of “torture” he would face tonight, with all the resentment and love that Esdeath had accumulated over the past ten years intertwined together.
I don’t know how many times I will be ravaged by Esdeath tonight!
Chapter 41: Esdeath’s Imperial Military Uniform Temptation! (Old Version)
The next day, the sunlight gently passed through the gaps in the heavy curtains, casting golden streaks of light on the ground.
The room was completely silent, with only the occasional faint sound of breathing telling of last night’s madness.
After a whole night of tossing and turning, Esdeath finally felt satisfied and pulled Annan to sleep.
The long silence was not broken until the afternoon sun became a little hot.
In a daze, Annan felt as if two heavy stones were pressing on his chest.
Every breath was a little difficult.
He opened his eyes with great effort, and what he saw was Esdeath clinging to him like an octopus.
Her face was peaceful and tranquil, with a contented smile on the corner of her mouth. She was obviously immersed in a sweet dream.
“Hiss~” Annan couldn’t help but take a breath.
Even though he had the strong physique of a master warrior, he couldn’t stand such a night of torture.
What’s more, the other party is Esdeath, a sadistic queen who is powerful, strong-willed and full of control.
He moved his body carefully, trying to break free from Esdeath’s arms and get up quietly.
Just when he was about to escape successfully, he inadvertently saw Esdeath’s long eyelashes trembling slightly, and slowly opened her eyes.
In an instant, their eyes met and Annan froze in place.
“Why? You want to leave without saying goodbye again?”
Esdeath’s voice was a little lazy and hoarse, like the mist in the forest in the early morning, with a unique charm.
Instead of letting Annan go, she hugged him even tighter, pressing the softness of her chest against his, causing Annan’s heartbeat to suddenly speed up.
“How is that possible? You are stronger than me now! I can’t leave even if I want to!”
Annan explained quickly, with a flash of panic in his eyes.
“I’m just hungry! I want to find something to eat!”
As he spoke, he looked at Esdeath, and an indescribable complex emotion surged in his heart.
It is a wonderful feeling that is a mixture of love, heartache, and a little helplessness.
“Yes, I used up a lot of energy last night!”
The corners of Esdeath’s mouth rose slightly, revealing a meaningful smile, as if she was recalling the madness of last night.
She let go of Annan, stood up and put on a well-tailored Imperial military jacket.
The straight lines of the imperial military uniform outline her slender and graceful figure.
The golden epaulettes sparkled brightly in the sun, adding a touch of majesty and dominance.
She walked to the center of the room and shouted to the maid waiting outside the door:
“Go prepare a sumptuous dinner for ten people, and some drinks!”
The voice was clear and powerful, with an unquestionable tone of command.
“Yes, General!” The maid outside the door responded respectfully and stepped back, hurriedly preparing food.
Then, Esdeath, wearing only an imperial military jacket, walked up to Annan.
The hem of the coat just covered her private parts, and her long and straight legs were faintly visible, exuding an irresistible temptation.
“It’s still early, An Nan-kun might as well wait a while!”
As she spoke, she slowly approached Annan, and every step seemed like a provocation.
She leaned forward slightly, got close to Annan’s ear, and whispered softly:
“Don’t you like assassinating high-ranking officials in the empire the most during night raids?
The one in front of you now is the empire’s number one general!
What? Don’t you want to execute me right here on the spot?”
As she spoke, she deliberately blew gently into Annan’s ears. The warm breath instantly caused a layer of fine goose bumps to appear on Annan’s neck.
Annan’s eyes fell on Esdeath in front of him.
One has to admit that the imperial military uniform made her image of a heroic female general even more popular and eye-catching.
Her fierce eyes and straight back all demonstrate her power and status.
At this moment, she was like a burning flame, emitting a fatal attraction that no one could resist.
Besides, who could resist the temptation to “conquer” the most powerful female general in the entire empire?
This thought flashed through Annan’s mind, causing his heartbeat to speed up suddenly and his blood to boil in his veins.
“You are playing with fire!”
Annan’s face flushed slightly and his voice became a little hoarse.
He looked at Esdeath in front of him, and the desire in his heart burned like a piece of dry wood that had been ignited.
He knew very well that every move and every word of Esdeath was challenging his bottom line and tempting him to fall into a deeper vortex.
“Then do you dare to play with fire?”
Esdeath raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a sadistic smile full of madness and provocation.
There was a cunning gleam in her eyes, as if announcing to Annan: She had already won this game.
Annan swallowed his saliva, and the fatigue from last night was instantly thrown away.
At this moment, this matter is no longer just a love affair between a man and a woman, but has risen to the level of a man’s dignity.
A strong desire to conquer surged in his heart, and he wanted to make this proud sadistic queen submit to him completely.
“Dare you or not? You will know it immediately!”
A trace of determination flashed in Annan’s eyes. He could no longer endure it and suddenly reached out and pulled Esdeath into his arms.
The room was once again filled with beauty…
Chapter 42: In-depth discussion in Esdeath’s study! (Old version)
At night.
The lights in Esdeath’s mansion were bright, forming a sharp contrast with the night outside.
After eating and drinking their fill, Esdeath and Annan came to the study side by side.
The study is filled with a faint scent of books, and the walls are lined with all kinds of books, ranging from military strategies to poetry and songs.
An antique desk was placed in the middle of the room, on which were neatly placed pens, ink, paper, inkstone and several parchment scrolls.
The two sat down on the chairs next to the desk, the atmosphere instantly became serious, and they began to formally discuss business.
“Have you decided to return to Night Raid now?”
Esdeath sat in the study, leaning forward slightly, staring closely at Annan who was sitting next to her.
Her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and her tone was filled with a hint of nervousness, a mixture of anticipation and fear of hearing a negative answer.
She was well aware of the opposing positions between Night Raid and the Empire. Once Annan returned to Night Raid, they might stand on opposite sides of the enemy again.
“I don’t plan on going back for now! I think I’ll be happier staying with you!”
Annan raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a sincere smile on his face, and said easily.
His eyes were full of tenderness, and he made no secret of his attachment to the time he spent with Esdeath.
In his heart, every moment with Esdeath was filled with a special kind of warmth and happiness.
This feeling was something he had never experienced in the busy and dangerous life of night raids.
“Really!” Esdeath was worried when she heard Annan’s words.
The slightly dim eyes suddenly lit up, and the surprise was beyond words.
The corners of her mouth slightly raised, and a bright smile bloomed on her face. That smile was like the flowers blooming in spring, beautiful and moving.
She didn’t expect that Annan would actually be willing to temporarily put aside his responsibilities and ideals in Night Raid for her.
This thought filled her heart with emotion and sweetness.
“Of course, but I have a condition. I want to assassinate Minister Ernest!”
As soon as Annan’s words came out, Esdeath’s originally joyful expression froze instantly, and her brows frowned slightly again.
The relationship between her and Minister Ernest was nothing more than a mutually beneficial partnership.
In her heart, nothing is more important than Annan.
But Minister Ernest is now a powerful figure in the entire empire. He has been in the court for many years and his followers are spread across the government and the country.
Moreover, even if Minister Ernest was successfully assassinated, given the current situation in the empire, other ambitious and powerful people would soon replace him.
More importantly, this subversive assassination
This is in serious conflict with Esdeath’s philosophy and position of maintaining the imperial order and making changes within the system through her own strength.
“Annan, you know I will agree to whatever you ask for!”
Esdeath took a deep breath and calmed herself down.
With a rare serious look on his face, he said seriously,
“If you just want to use me to assassinate Minister Ernest, then I will help you!
But have you thought about how to face the empire’s pursuit after this is over?
Or, will assassinating Minister Ernest definitely change the country?”
She stared at Annan closely, her eyes full of concern and worry.
She didn’t want Annan to fall into an irretrievable situation because of a momentary impulse.
“Why are you so serious? I was just joking!”
Annan looked at Esdeath and found it very interesting and couldn’t help laughing.
He reached out for the fruit on the desk, took a light bite, the juice overflowed in his mouth, and the sweet taste made him feel even happier.
“Really? Why do I feel that if I agree, you really want to assassinate that guy Ernest!”
Esdeath looked at Annan, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she said with a smile.
She knew Annan too well and knew that he was deeply dissatisfied with the corruption of the empire, and that the assassination of Minister Ernest might really be part of his plan.
“Ahem! Forget it, let’s not consider that old guy for now! Someone will take care of him!”
Annan cleared his throat and said casually,
“Since he can’t be killed, there must be nothing wrong with his son!”
While eating the fruit, he glanced at Esdeath with a sly light in his eyes, and asked casually.
“His son?! That… guy called Silla?”
When Esdeath heard Annan’s words, she was slightly stunned and her mind quickly recalled the information about Minister Ernest’s son.
She thought for a long time before finally remembering that there seemed to be such a person in the imperial capital.
A dandy young man who relied on his father’s power to bully others in the imperial capital.
“That’s right, I was injured by him when I was on a mission before, I must avenge him!
“Annan said as he carefully observed Esdeath’s reaction.
In fact, he and Silla had never met each other, let alone any grudge against each other.
But he knew very well that Sheila held a special imperial weapon in his hand. The power of that imperial weapon was very strange. If other members of the Night Raid were to confront it, they would probably suffer losses.
But if Esdeath accompanies him to assassinate Sheila, with Esdeath’s powerful strength and rich combat experience, the chances of success are almost certain.
“That’s no problem, it’s just a bigger ant!”
Esdeath waved her hand nonchalantly, her tone full of disdain.
In her eyes, Xila was just a small person who relied on her father’s power and was not worth mentioning at all.
“Annan-kun, just make the arrangements! I’ll listen to you!”
She looked at Annan, her eyes full of trust and dependence.
She is willing to fully support whatever Annan wants to do.
“But… as a reward! Annan-kun~ you have to work harder tonight!”
As Esdeath was talking, a charming smile suddenly appeared on her face.
She slowly stood up and walked to Annan with light steps.
Then she sat gently on his thighs and put her arms around Annan’s neck.
“Hey, hey, hey~ This is the study room!”
Annan was startled by Esdeath’s actions, and a trace of panic flashed across his face. He subconsciously wanted to push Esdeath away, but was reluctant.
“It’s okay, Annan-kun~, isn’t this more exciting?”
Esdeath leaned close to Annan’s ear and whispered softly,
The warm breath sprayed on Annan’s neck, causing his body to tremble slightly.
“Actually… you might as well…”
As she spoke, she gently kissed Annan on the cheek.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became ambiguous…
Chapter 43: Ambush in the Dark Night! The Island of Space Teleportation! (Old Version)
A few days later, the night was like a thick black cloth.
It weighed heavily on the earth. There was no trace of moonlight, only darkness as thick as ink that spread everywhere.
On such a dark and windy night, the streets were shrouded in darkness, and the silence was eerie.
The occasional cries of night owls added to the eeriness.
Annan and Esdeath relied on the intelligence they obtained.
Arrive at the entrance of a busy alley in advance, hide in the dark and wait quietly.
There are many shops on both sides of this alley, and it is bustling with people coming and going on weekdays.
But at this moment, there was no one there, and the silence was abnormal.
Annan looked across the alley at the brightly lit and bustling red-light street with shadows of people, his brows slightly furrowed.
Full of doubts, I couldn’t help but ask, “Are you sure he will pass by here?”
Esdeath raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a meaningful smile, and walked towards Annan with light steps.
She slowly raised her slender white fingers, gently lifted Annan’s handsome chin, and said with a smile on her face:
“Why? An Nan-kun, do you want to go and see it too?”
Her cheeks were slightly flushed, not sure if it was because of the ambiguous atmosphere or the cool night breeze.
“Ahem… ahem… how could I be that kind of person?!”
Annan coughed a few times, trying to hide his embarrassment, his eyes were a little evasive.
“I’m just curious whether Silla will really appear here as the intelligence says!”
The smile on Esdeath’s face became more intense, with a bit of sadistic cunning:
“Oh? Lying is wrong!
Actually, if Annan-kun wants to see it, I can do it too!”
Annan pretended to be angry, glared at Esdeath, and said “viciously”:
“Get down to business. I’ll teach you a lesson when I get back!”
In fact, I have long been accustomed to Esdeath’s occasional teasing.
It’s just that at this tense moment, I don’t want the atmosphere to be too relaxed so that we don’t let our guard down.
As the two were talking, Esdeath was about to make another joke.
Suddenly, Annan’s expression froze, and he whispered:
“Here it comes!”
Esdeath instantly suppressed the smile on her face, returning to her arrogant and cold look, with a murderous look in her eyes.
In the alley in the distance, a group of people staggered out.
The leader was none other than Minister Ernest’s only son, Sheila.
He has a single long ponytail of silvery white hair, and also has two bangs in front of his tiny green eyes;
There are deep cross-shaped scars on the face. Wearing a super short tight white top and slightly longer tight pants
He should have looked like a nobleman, but the wanton arrogance and hostility on his face at this moment made people feel disgusted.
He was followed by his friends and guards.
These people either flattered Sheila with fawning looks on their faces, or their eyes revealed the same arrogance and disdain as Sheila.
“Master Silla, are you having fun tonight?”
A young nobleman who was also dressed in finery asked cautiously with a flattering smile on his face.
Silla yawned and said impatiently:
“Just barely! As long as this young master likes a girl, he will snatch her away.
These girls are nothing more than my toys!
Play it once and then throw it away! It’s so boring!”
As he spoke, he described in a bored manner the girls he had just robbed, how he had toyed with them, and how he had brutally murdered them.
The tone was as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
There was no trace of guilt or pity in his eyes, as if the lives of those girls were as light as ants in his eyes.
“As long as they are human beings, they are the most fun toys!”
As Sheila spoke, a perverted look of intoxication appeared on her face, and she threw her head back and laughed.
The laughter echoed in the silent night, sounding particularly eerie and terrifying.
However, before his laughter faded,
“Swish!” A dazzling and huge sword energy, like a bolt of lightning that cuts through the night sky, suddenly shot up into the sky and headed straight towards Xila to kill him.
The sword energy came with great force and an unstoppable momentum, and the air was filled with a murderous aura.
“Master, be careful!” The guards around Xila reacted quickly, drawing out their own imperial weapons and instantly protecting Xila tightly behind them.
They looked nervous, with beads of sweat on their foreheads, and their eyes were fixed on the oncoming sword energy.
“Boom!!” The huge sword energy exploded, and the powerful impact was like a surging wave.
Several guards were blown away in an instant.
Before the guards could even scream, they were torn into pieces by this powerful force.
A blood mist spread in the night sky, and the pungent smell of blood quickly dissipated.
Then, Annan and Esdeath slowly walked out of the darkness.
They walked with steady steps, determined eyes, and exuded a chilling aura.
“It’s you!”
Silla looked at the two people who suddenly appeared in front of her, with a flash of shock in her eyes.
But soon, he pretended to be calm again, with a sneer of disdain on his face.
He subconsciously clenched the imperial weapon in his hand, secretly comforting himself in his heart,
As long as this imperial weapon is still there, his life will not be in danger.
“Swish!”
Esdeath drew out her sword with a swift and decisive movement. The blade gleamed coldly, reflecting her cold face.
She spoke in a cold voice, word by word:
“Those who are my enemies will die!”
The sound seemed to come from the Netherworld, making people shudder.
Just as Esdeath was about to strike a fatal blow to Sheila,
Suddenly, a mysterious purple magic circle rose up from under Annan and Esdeath’s feet without any warning.
The runes in the magic circle flickered, emitting a strange light.
Before the two could react, they felt a powerful force enveloping them.
There was a flash of light before my eyes.
The next moment, he was teleported to a strange island…
Chapter 44: Esdeath’s Feelings! (Old Version)
“Where is this…?” Esdeath and Annan,
At this moment, I am standing on an unfamiliar island, and the sea breeze blows gently, bringing with it the unique salty and humid scent of the sea.
Their eyes were full of confusion and surprise. After all, space teleportation arrays were
In today’s era, it is extremely rare and almost extinct.
Who would have thought that Sheila actually had such a special imperial tool with the ability to teleport!
“Is this true? We were teleported thousands of miles away!”
There was still a deep shock on Esdeath’s face. She turned her head eagerly to look at Annan, with a hint of disbelief in her words.
“Annan, kiss me, let me see if this is an illusion-type imperial weapon!”
When Annan heard this, he was speechless, and the expression on his face froze for a moment.
Annan: …It’s already this late, why are you still thinking about this…
But he also knew that Esdeath was just a casual person, so he didn’t respond too much, but analyzed seriously:
“That guy’s imperial weapon must have spatial abilities, so he was able to teleport us to this island!”
Esdeath nodded and agreed, “A space-capable imperial weapon? It’s indeed very rare!
But now, we just need to explore the surrounding environment to know where we are!”
After saying that, cold air surged around her body, and she used her freezing ability directly, and the water vapor in the air condensed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, a huge icicle rose out of nowhere, carrying a hint of coldness, and rose steadily into the air.
Annan and Esdeath stood on the icicle and looked into the distance. All they saw was the endless sea.
The waves were surging and there was no trace of land.
Annan’s expression gradually became solemn, and he slowly said:
“It looks like we can’t go back for now! This seems to be a strange island!”
I thought Esdeath would be anxious about this,
Unexpectedly, her eyes sparkled with excitement and her cheeks blushed slightly.
He smiled and said, “That is to say, I am now on a date trip for two people with An Nan-kun!”
When Annan heard this, his eyes widened and he replied helplessly:
“…?! No? What on earth are you thinking about!
We are not in a good situation right now.”
However, Esdeath seemed to be immersed in her own beautiful fantasy and turned a deaf ear to Annan’s words.
Just then, a deafening roar broke the silence.
“Roar!” The roar seemed to carry endless power, shaking the surrounding sea surface and stirring up huge waves.
Then, a dangerous species of huge size slowly emerged from the sea.
Looking closely, it turned out to be a strange and dangerous humanoid creature. Its body was towering into the sky, its muscles were knotty, and it exuded a terrifying aura.
Annan, standing on the icicle, saw the huge dangerous species on the sea in the distance, and the solemnity on his face became more and more intense.
This level of powerful and dangerous species is far stronger than him.
He couldn’t help but recall the scene when the night raid team encountered a powerful and dangerous species.
It took the combined strength of the entire night attack team to kill the extremely dangerous species with great difficulty.
But now, there are only him and Esdeath, which makes him feel a little nervous, wondering whether he can defeat the powerful enemy in front of him.
Just as Annan was lost in thought, pondering how to deal with this huge, critically dangerous species, Esdeath took the initiative without hesitation.
I saw her hands dancing quickly, and the cold air was overflowing from her body.
Countless ice cones shot towards the huge and dangerous species like arrows.
The ice cone hit the giant instantly with a sharp whistling sound.
Under the intensive attack, the giant’s huge body fell down with a loud bang, splashing a large amount of water.
However, things are not that simple.
The fallen giant was not defeated, and its powerful regenerative ability was revealed.
The wounds on the giant’s body healed rapidly, and the broken limbs were also growing back at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Not long after, it slowly stood up again.
There was a fierce light flashing in its eyes, as if announcing its invincibility to the attacker.
At this moment, Annan noticed something and quickly reminded Esdeath, “Attack its head, that’s its weak point!”
Esdeath has always had unconditional trust in Annan’s words.
Hearing this, she did not hesitate at all and directly mobilized the ice energy in her body.
A huge icicle condensed, like a white lightning,
He struck the giant in the head and killed him.
The icicle was extremely fast, and wherever it passed, the air was torn apart, making a sharp whistling sound.
However, the seemingly huge and clumsy giant actually showed amazing agility.
It slightly turned its body and easily avoided the fatal blow.
Seeing this, Esdeath prepared to launch a second attack.
Just as she was gathering her strength, she saw a shocking scene.
Annan was seen holding a long sword, with a nimble figure, running along the huge icicle at a speed as fast as lightning.
There was a determined light in his eyes, and he had only one target – the giant’s head.
“clang!”
With a clear sound of sword, the long sword was unsheathed.
A silver-white sword light shot up into the sky, as if splitting the world into two.
The sword light carried unparalleled power and directly cut the parasite on the giant’s head into two halves.
The giant that lost its core fell to the ground like a kite with its string cut.
He fell heavily in the jungle, causing a huge sandstorm. The surrounding trees were knocked down one after another, and the air was filled with smoke and dust.
Esdeath looked at the scene in front of her with mixed feelings.
She originally wanted to show her strength and make Annan look at her with new eyes.
Let him know that in ten years, the little girl who once needed his protection has grown up to be able to protect him.
Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, Annan showed amazing strength and successfully resolved the crisis.
At this moment, Esdeath looked at Annan’s back, and her emotions became more and more complicated.
An indescribable feeling of fascination quietly grew in her heart.
She knew that no matter how powerful she became, she would always have a special feeling for Annan.
This feeling made her want to prove herself in front of him, but she couldn’t help but rely on him…
Chapter 45: Warm and happy daily exploration! (Old version)
“Roar!” The creepy roar that was so familiar that it couldn’t be more familiar suddenly sounded without any warning.
Annan’s nerves, which had just relaxed, suddenly became tense again like a fully drawn bowstring. The muscles all over his body also subconsciously tensed up, and he entered a state of high alert.
He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a dangerous species that was larger than he could imagine, slowly walking out of the dense and deep jungle with tangled branches and leaves, with heavy and oppressive steps.
This dangerous species, just standing there, is like an unshakable towering mountain.
It exudes a wild and extremely dangerous aura, with sharp fangs sticking out from its bloody mouth.
In the sunlight that filtered through the gaps between the branches and leaves, there was a flash of cold light, as if ready to tear everything in front of it apart at any time.
With every step the sturdy limbs took, the earth trembled slightly as if it could not bear the weight, and even the surrounding air began to fluctuate visibly.
Seeing this, Esdeath’s originally bright eyes suddenly lit up like stars, with an irrepressible excitement flashing in her eyes.
Just like a warrior who has been through many battles and is eager to fight, he finally finds the powerful prey he has been longing for.
She didn’t hesitate at all, not even a pause, and jumped up without hesitation.
The moment she jumped up, the ice energy around her gathered together madly like a surging tsunami.
In the sky, countless ice elements seemed to be summoned by some mysterious force and condensed rapidly at an astonishing speed.
In the blink of an eye, an extremely huge ice ball meteorite formed out of thin air, and with a majestic momentum to destroy the world, it rushed towards the dangerous species like lightning.
“Boom!” A roar so violent that it seemed to tear the heaven and earth apart suddenly sounded, and the entire earth was shaken violently by this force.
The huge ice crystal meteorite that fell from the sky hit the giant dangerous species accurately.
At that moment, it seemed as if time had stopped, and then the dangerous species was smashed to pieces under this powerful impact.
It turned into countless fragments and flew everywhere, raising dust and ice chips all over the sky, like a doomsday storm.
At this time, Annan below looked up and looked quietly at Esdeath who was standing on the ice crystal meteorite.
Her figure looked so dazzling against the backdrop of sunlight and ice chips.
Annan couldn’t help but reveal an extremely complicated look in his eyes.
Memories came flooding back like a tide. He recalled the little girl in the cruel environment of ice and snow.
Relying only on a simple bed that could not be any more simple, he used all his strength to drag himself, who was seriously injured and unconscious, back to the camp step by step.
At that time, her eyes were full of stubbornness and determination;
And now, she has grown so strong that she can face any powerful enemy alone.
Thinking of this, Annan’s heart was filled with emotion.
But unfortunately, the cruel reality lies before them. They are in completely different camps.
Everyone holds on to their own deepest ideas and beliefs, and no one is willing to change easily.
This contradiction caused Annan to feel a little worried.
His lips moved slightly, and he murmured in a low voice: “Perhaps, we will become enemies in the future!”
The voice was very light, but it was like a heavy stone pressing on his heart.
After successfully dealing with the dangerous species, the two took a short break.
So he decided to start exploring this mysterious island and get as much detailed information about the surrounding area as possible.
They walked slowly into the depths of the jungle along a winding path covered with layers of fallen leaves.
The sun shines hard through the densely interwoven branches and leaves.
Golden spots of various shapes are formed on the ground, like mysterious patterns carefully drawn by nature.
Along the way, all kinds of strange and exotic plants came into their sight one after another.
Among them there is a plant whose leaves are beyond imagination. Each leaf looks like a giant cattail leaf fan.
The edges of the leaves are also sparkling with colorful light, as if they were carefully outlined by nature with the most gorgeous paints.
What’s even more amazing is that if someone touches it lightly,
The leaves will shrink rapidly as if they were frightened, and look like a shy little girl.
Esdeath was deeply attracted by this magical plant, her eyes full of curiosity and surprise.
She reached out her hand carefully and lightly touched the leaf with her fingertips.
Sure enough, the leaves shrank instantly. Esdeath looked at this funny scene and couldn’t help but chuckle.
The clear and pleasant laughter continued to echo in the silent jungle for a long time.
They continued walking forward, and not far away, they found a group of extremely cute little animals.
These little animals are small and exquisite, and are covered with fluffy and soft fur. They must feel very comfortable to touch.
Their ears are long and they shake gently from time to time, as if they are catching the movements around them;
There are circles of colorful fluff on the tail, like exquisite little ornaments.
They jumped happily in the woods, stopping from time to time to look at the trees with their bright eyes.
They looked at the two uninvited guests who suddenly broke into their territory with curiosity.
Esdeath was immediately melted by their cuteness, with a gentle smile on her face, and she couldn’t help but want to reach out and touch these cute little guys.
However, these little animals were very clever. When they sensed her approaching, they jumped away quickly like a gust of wind.
In the blink of an eye, it hid in the dense bushes, leaving Esdeath standing there, with a look of helplessness and loss on her face.
Before we knew it, the sun was setting, the sky was getting darker, and the soft light was gradually turning dim.
Their stomachs also began to growl.
So they decided to go hunting together.
With his keen observation and agile skills, Annan has developed over the years.
After a careful search in the jungle, a fat hare was soon found.
The hare was concentrating on eating the grass on the ground and was completely unaware of the approaching danger.
When he was close enough to the hare, he suddenly exerted his strength, attacked with lightning speed, rushed forward, and quickly pounced with both hands, successfully catching the hare.
Esdeath had been watching nervously from the side. When she saw Annan succeed, a happy smile suddenly broke out on her face, and her eyes were full of Annan’s slightly clumsy movements!
Chapter 46: Warmth! (Old version)
They stopped by a clear stream.
The water in the stream flows gently, the stones and gravel on the bottom of the water are clearly visible, and occasionally you can see a few small fish swimming happily in the water.
The two began to work together. Annan handled the hare skillfully. His technique was skillful and his movements were smooth. In a short while, he had handled the hare cleanly.
Esdeath looked around and found some unknown wild fruits from the nearby bushes.
These wild fruits are bright in color and emit an enticing aroma. Esdeath thought that adding these wild fruits to dinner would definitely add some unique flavor to this simple dinner.
The fire was soon lit, and the blazing bonfire illuminated a small area of ​​the surrounding sky and earth.
The warm firelight illuminated their faces, casting a warm and beautiful glow.
The hare was placed on the fire, and as it was roasted by the flames, its surface gradually turned golden.
The fat kept dripping into the fire, making a sizzling sound, and the aroma filled the air.
Esdeath looked at the roasted rabbit and couldn’t help swallowing her saliva. She looked like a greedy cat and was very cute.
Annan looked at her, his lips slightly raised, and he tore off a leg of the roasted rabbit and handed it to her.
Said: “Eat quickly, look how greedy you are.”
Esdeath took the rabbit leg and took a bite happily. The tender and juicy rabbit meat made her squint her eyes in satisfaction.
The two of them ate delicious barbecue while chatting with each other.
They shared each other’s experiences over the years and those interesting or unforgettable anecdotes.
Laughter and joy continued to echo by the stream. On this strange and mysterious island,
They seemed to have temporarily forgotten their different identities and positions.
At this moment, they are just two ordinary people enjoying this moment of peace and beauty.
This day of getting along was like a magic key that opened the door to a deeper relationship between the two.
Let their relationship go a step further without them realizing it.
A special and deep bond quietly took root and grew in the hearts of the two.
At the seaside, as the curtain of night slowly falls.
The bright and clear moonlight in the sky poured down, giving the endless sea a layer of dreamy silver light.
The waves gently hit the beach, making a pleasant sound, and the cool sea breeze blows towards you.
With the unique salty and humid smell of the sea, people feel instantly relaxed and happy, and the fatigue of the day seems to be gently blown away by the sea breeze.
Esdeath and Annan, wearing only their underwear, sat quietly side by side on the shallows.
The waves occasionally surge onto the beach, gently lapping at their feet, bringing a sense of coolness and comfort.
They looked at the sparkling sea in the distance together. Under the moonlight, the sea surface was like a huge mirror, flashing with tiny lights.
“Annan, I now roughly know the location of this island!”
Esdeath broke the silence. She tilted her head slightly and looked at Annan and said, while raising her hand.
Pointing to a place in the distance that was faintly visible and emitting a faint light,
“That glowing teleportation point over there is the space node. As long as we stay here and wait for it to open next time, we can go back!”
After saying that, she moved slightly towards Annan as if inadvertently, and her shoulder almost touched Annan’s shoulder.
“However, if I want to be with Annan, I am willing to stay here forever!”
Esdeath’s voice was soft, but it carried an unquestionable firmness.
Hearing Esdeath’s words that sounded like a passionate confession, Annan’s heart suddenly felt extremely complicated.
He knew very well that a queen-level strongman like Esdeath, who stood at the top of the world,
Once you truly love someone, you will love them without reservation.
She never hides her true feelings deep in her heart.
In her opinion, loving someone means giving everything you have wholeheartedly and giving all of yourself to the other person.
She is such a straightforward and frank person, sometimes a little silly, but extremely sincere.
“Daisy!” Annan called Esdeath’s nickname softly.
In this world, this name was originally only used by Esdeath’s father.
That familiar name, spoken from Annan’s mouth, brought a special warmth to Esdeath’s heart.
“Have you ever thought about… Ugh!…”
Before Annan could finish his words, Esdeath seemed to have mustered up great courage.
Suddenly he leaned forward and blocked Annan’s mouth with his lips.
Her movements were somewhat hasty and a little nervous.
At that moment, the world seemed to have quieted down, leaving only the sound of waves hitting the beach and the rapid heartbeats of the two people.
I don’t know how long it took before this passionate kiss slowly ended.
Esdeath panted slightly and gently pressed her white and slender fingers against Annan’s lips to stop him from continuing.
Her eyes were filled with anticipation and longing for the future, and she said softly:
“Annan, don’t mention those unhappy things.
Tonight’s time belongs only to the two of us, okay?”
Looking at Esdeath’s expectant eyes, Annan felt mixed emotions.
He stared into Esdeath’s eyes with complex and deep emotions.
Finally, under this gentle moonlight, in Esdeath’s expectant eyes,
He nodded slowly, agreeing to her request.
“Then let’s bathe in the sea together tonight!”
Esdeath seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and a cunning light flashed in her eyes.
After saying that, without waiting for Annan’s consent, she reached out and grabbed Annan’s arm.
Pulling him, he ran happily towards the sea.
The waves welcomed their arrival, and their figures gradually blurred in the sea water under the moonlight.
Only strings of cheerful laughter are left, echoing in the night sky, telling the beauty and sweetness of this moment…
Chapter 47: The choice of stance and the shadow of war! (Old version)
At dawn, the seaside skyline was dyed orange-red, and the soft sunlight fell gently on the beach like silk threads.
Esdeath’s eyes trembled slightly under the caress of the warm light.
Then, she slowly opened her eyes, and what she saw was an imperial military uniform covering her body.
The familiar texture and style carry the unique majesty of the empire.
At this time, Annan had already left this beach full of memories through the teleportation array.
Esdeath frowned slightly, with a complex emotion in her heart.
He was dissatisfied with being left alone, and also confused about the reason why Annan left.
Just then, she found a letter left by Annan beside her.
She gently picked up the envelope, slowly opened it with her slender fingers, and unfolded the letter.
The handwriting above is strong and powerful, just like Annan’s own character:
“Dear Daisy,
By the time you see this letter, I will be gone.
The time we had last night is the most precious memory in my life and I will remember it forever.
I am well aware that we stand on completely different grounds.
You are a high-ranking general of the empire, shouldering the mission and supreme glory of the empire;
As for me, I have my own beliefs and path to take, which runs counter to the direction of the empire.
This difference in stance is like a deep and unbridgeable chasm between us.
But even so, every minute and every second I spend with you,
All of these made me deeply appreciate the sincerity and passion of this feeling.
Your frankness, courage and unreserved love have already entered my heart without my knowing it.
It has become an inseparable part of my life.
But it is precisely because of this deep love that I cannot let you fall into a dilemma.
I cannot allow you to go against your duties and beliefs for my sake.
I chose to leave, not because I wanted to give up, but because I care about you too much.
I hope you can continue to shine on the stage that belongs to you and stay strong and confident.
Please believe that my departure is not the end, this feeling will always be in my heart. Please also understand my choice.
Love you Annan! “
Esdeath read the letter word by word. Her slightly frowned brows gradually relaxed and her expression eased a little.
She murmured softly, “Since you have written so many words, I will forgive you for leaving without saying goodbye this time!
But Annan…I will definitely find you back!”
At this moment, her heart was full of love for Annan. As for the conflict of positions and ideas mentioned in Annan’s letter,
In the face of her strong emotions, nothing can shake her dedication to this relationship.
Afterwards, Esdeath put on the military uniform that symbolized the power and glory of the empire.
He tidied up his appearance quickly and got ready to go.
She walked with firm steps to the teleportation array and stepped into it without hesitation.
In an instant, a strong spatial wave rippled out, and after a flash of light, Esdeath appeared again in the prosperous yet crisis-ridden imperial capital.
At the same time, on the other side of the city, the atmosphere in the Night Raid Base was tense and solemn.
Annan learned that Najeshitan was about to launch a decisive battle against the empire.
As a key member of the Night Raid Team, Najeshitan has carefully considered the matter.
Annan and Akagi were assigned to be the main attack direction, hoping that they could play a key role in this fateful war.
Soon, the clarion call of war was officially sounded.
The revolutionary army is approaching the city like a surging tide. They are ready to change the dynasty with the firm belief of overthrowing the corrupt empire and establishing a new order.
The night attack team that Annan belonged to also received the final critical mission – to assassinate the Empire’s Minister Ernest.
This shrewd man who controls the core of the empire’s dark power is one of the biggest stumbling blocks on the revolutionary army’s path forward.
When Annan led the members of the night attack team, fought bloody battles all the way and successfully broke into the imperial palace,
I thought I would see Minister Ernest in a panic.
However, what appeared before everyone’s eyes was a smug face.
Minister Ernest burst into a wild laugh, and the shrill laughter echoed in the empty palace:
“Haha, you rats hiding in the dark corners finally show your heads!
Unfortunately, today is the day you die, and you will all die here!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a deafening roar suddenly sounded.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a gigantic mecha slowly rising from the ground in the depths of the imperial palace in the distance.
This mecha exudes a mysterious and powerful aura.
It is the supreme imperial weapon created by the first emperor with all his efforts a thousand years ago.
Legend has it that it possesses terrifying power comparable to that of gods, and is a secret weapon that can only be activated and controlled by those with royal blood.
Under the instigation and manipulation of Minister Ernest, the young and blinded emperor sat in the cockpit of the mecha.
This terrifying war machine was activated, and a frenzied counterattack against the revolutionary army began.
The little emperor’s face was full of anger.
He roared loudly to the revolutionary army below:
“You rebels, it’s because of you,
This is how the country is now! You all deserve to die! “
Immediately afterwards, a huge red laser suddenly shot out from the forehead of the Supreme Emperor Mecha.
The laser was like a ray of destructive light, carrying endless energy, whizzing towards the direction of the revolutionary army.
Wherever it went, everything was razed to the ground.
A town along the way was destroyed in an instant, with flames shooting into the sky and smoke filling the air.
Countless lives were lost in this terrible attack, leaving behind only ruins and desperate cries…
Seeing the powerful destructive power of the Supreme Emperor, the minister once again showed a proud and arrogant smile on his face.
As long as he has this power, he can’t lose!
As for the losses caused by the destruction, we can just squeeze them back from those fools when the time comes!
Looking at the war around the imperial capital, Annan used the imperial weapon Evil Ghost Haunting and rushed directly towards the Supreme Imperial weapon.
And just at this moment.
A figure stood in front of Annan, it was Esdeath…!
At this moment on the battlefield, Annan looked at Esdeath in front of him with a complicated look in his eyes…
Esdeath held the ice sword that was glowing with a cold and eerie light, and the biting chill spread out from her to the surroundings.
Her eyes were filled with pain and determination, deep in those eyes as blue as an icy lake,
Hiding complicated feelings towards Annan.
Deep down in her heart, she didn’t want to be an enemy of the man in front of her who made her fall in love.
But as a general of the empire, her duties and missions were like heavy shackles, forcing her to make a choice…
Chapter 48: An Unfulfilled Promise! (Old Version)
“Annan, you and I are on different sides. I will not show mercy in today’s battle.”
Esdeath’s voice was like a broken icy spike, cold and firm, and every word seemed to carry a sharp blade, piercing her own heart.
Annan bit his lip, frowned, and his eyes were full of struggle and helplessness.
He took a deep breath and tried to keep his voice calm:
“Daisy, I don’t want to be your enemy, but I can’t watch you continue to work for this corrupt empire.
This empire is in tatters, and countless people are living in dire straits. I cannot sit idly by and watch.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Esdeath flashed like an ice-blue phantom and rushed in front of Annan in an instant.
The ice sword in her hand, accompanied by the sound of whistling wind and carrying an extremely cold air that was enough to freeze everything, stabbed fiercely towards Annan’s chest.
Annan’s pupils suddenly shrank, and he hurriedly waved the imperial weapon in his hand to block the fatal blow at the critical moment.
There was a loud bang, sparks flew everywhere, and the huge impact force came like a surging wave.
Annan only felt his arms go numb, and he was shocked and stepped back repeatedly, leaving deep footprints on the ground.
Then, Esdeath launched an attack like a tide.
The ice sword drew graceful and deadly arcs in the air, attacking Annan as densely as flying snowflakes.
Annan dodged left and right, trying his best to avoid every attack.
But Esdeath’s swordsmanship was too exquisite, and the ice sword still left several deep wounds on his body.
The bright red blood slowly flowed down the wound, staining his clothes red, which was particularly glaring on this cold battlefield.
Annan was secretly anxious, with beads of sweat rolling down his forehead. He knew very well that if he didn’t find a way to break through, he would definitely lose today.
Just as Esdeath’s ice sword stabbed at him again like lightning, a gleam of determination flashed in Annan’s eyes.
He roared to the sky, and the power in his body exploded instantly like a volcanic eruption.
The imperial weapon, haunted by evil spirits, emitted an even brighter light, which seemed to contain endless power.
Annan’s speed and strength had a qualitative leap. He was like a ferocious beast, wielding his weapons and engaging in a fierce attack with Esdeath.
The two attacked back and forth, the sound of ice swords colliding with imperial weapons was endless, and the surrounding air was distorted by their powerful strength.
The situation on the battlefield became increasingly tense. The strength of both sides was evenly matched, and for a while it was difficult to determine the winner.
However, when the fierce battle was in full swing, something suddenly happened to the Supreme Imperial Weapon in the distance.
The little emperor suddenly fainted in the cockpit.
The originally stable Supreme Imperial Weapon began to tremble violently, and the muzzle slowly turned towards Esdeath.
A dazzling red light condensed at the muzzle of the Supreme Emperor’s weapon. That light contained the power to destroy the heavens and the earth.
Rushing towards Esdeath…
“Not good!” Annan’s heart tightened, his eyes filled with fear and worry.
Without even a second thought, he gave up the fight with Esdeath and rushed towards her at an extremely fast speed.
At the moment when the terrifying laser energy was emitted, Annan pushed Esdeath away with force.
“careful!”
The laser energy roared towards Annan like an angry dragon.
Annan only felt a dazzling light in front of his eyes, followed by a sharp pain. The huge impact force knocked him out and he fell heavily to the ground.
Annan’s body was covered with burn marks and deep wounds. Blood continued to flow out of the wounds, soaking the ground beneath him.
His consciousness gradually became blurred and the scene in front of him became blurry.
Esdeath looked at Annan lying on the ground, and her heart felt as if it had been hit hard by a heavy hammer.
An intense feeling of anger and sadness surged into my heart like a raging tide.
Her eyes instantly became icy cold, and she turned to look at the Supreme Emperor, with an undisguised murderous intent flashing in her eyes.
“How dare you hurt him? I will make you pay the price!”
Esdeath exerted all her strength, and countless huge ice blocks began to condense around her body. These ice blocks flew towards the Supreme Imperial Weapon like sharp spears.
Although the Supreme Imperial Weapon was powerful, cracks began to appear on it under Esdeath’s violent attack.
Esdeath’s face turned cold, and a huge icicle shot up into the sky.
The cracks grew bigger and bigger, and the Supreme Emperor’s weapon finally couldn’t hold on and began to crumble.
In the end, the Supreme Imperial Weapon collapsed under Esdeath’s attack.
At this moment, Minister Ernest, who was far away, saw the collapse of the Supreme Emperor’s weapon, and a hint of disdain and ridicule appeared in his eyes.
“What a useless guy! Luckily I have a backup plan.”
Minister Ernest pressed the switch in his hand.
The next moment, the huge Supreme Imperial Weapon began to collapse uncontrollably towards the revolutionary army below.
The huge imperial weapon smashed towards the civilians below, shaking the ground like a landslide.
At this time, the demon-possessed imperial weapon on Annan’s body was already covered with cracks.
In the distance, the screams and cries of civilians could be heard.
Watching the Supreme Imperial Device in the distance lose control and collapse.
And below are not only civilians, but also members of the revolutionary army and the night attack team.
He endured the severe pain in his body, burned up his last bit of vitality, and struggled to stand up.
At this moment, his body was swaying, as if a gust of wind could blow him down.
But his eyes were extremely firm.
Annan rushed towards the Supreme Imperial Device and used all his strength to hold back the Imperial Device that was about to collapse.
His hands were rubbed bloody by the remains of the imperial weapon, but he did not flinch at all, and little by little he changed the direction of the imperial weapon’s collapse.
Finally, the Supreme Imperial Device collapsed in an empty direction, and the civilians were saved.
But Annan was exhausted and could no longer hold on, and fell into Esdeath’s arms.
Esdeath hugged Annan, tears streaming down her fair cheeks uncontrollably.
“Annan, why are you so stupid, why do you do this…”
Her voice was tearful, full of despair and pain.
Annan opened his eyes with difficulty, looked at Esdeath’s tear-stained face, and smiled faintly.
“Daisy…I can protect you, I…I don’t regret it.
I…I really love you, but unfortunately…I can’t accompany you any longer.”
His voice was as weak as a gossamer, and he seemed to use up all his strength to speak each word.
Esdeath held Annan’s hand tightly, as if this could save his dying life.
“No, you won’t die. I won’t let you die!”
Her voice was trembling, full of helplessness and unwillingness.
Annan’s breath became weaker and weaker, and his eyes gradually lost their luster.
“Daisy, promise me that you will…live well from now on and don’t do anything stupid for me again…”
“I’m sorry, I don’t think I can fulfill the original promise…”
Chapter 49: Broken Promise and Awakening Power! (Old Version)
The picture turned slowly like an old projector, and time went back. The scenes of the past in the north came to my mind like a tide.
It was a world of silver and white, and the sky and earth in the north were tightly wrapped in ice and snow.
The sky is clear and blue, as blue as the finest gem, interweaving with the boundless snow fields.
The sunlight poured down unreservedly, landing on the snow surface, reflecting tiny and dazzling rays of light, causing people to squint slightly.
Young Esdeath and Annan are each other’s warmest comfort in this snowy world.
They ran freely in the thick and soft snow, and their footsteps made a “crunching” sound on the snow.
The cheerful laughter was so clear and loud that it startled a jackdaw resting on a branch. The jackdaw flapped its wings, flew across the sky and disappeared into the distance.
After playing tired, the two lay side by side on the snow, with the cold snow beneath them and the blue sky above their heads.
They looked up at the sky and imagined the distant future.
Esdeath’s cheeks were red from the cold wind, like a ripe apple, but her eyes were bright and passionate, revealing her infinite longing for the future.
She reached out her hand, held Annan’s hand, and said seriously: “When we grow up, we must always be together and see every beautiful place in the world.
I want everyone to know that you are the most important person to me.”
Annan raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a warm smile. He nodded solemnly, then hooked his fingers with her to make an agreement.
The crisp sound of their fingers hooking echoed in the silent northern territory, as if it was their firm vow to the future.
They would also sneak onto the frozen lake.
Esdeath is born bold and full of passion for adventure. She glides lightly on the ice, her figure as agile as a snow elf.
Her laughter echoed on the ice, adding a bit of vitality to this cold world.
Annan followed carefully behind, keeping his eyes fixed on Esdeath, fearing that she might accidentally fall and get hurt.
Once, Esdeath’s feet suddenly slipped, and her body instantly lost balance and fell towards the ice.
Seeing this, Annan rushed over without hesitation and tried to support her.
But the inertia of the two was too great, and they finally fell on the ice together. They looked at each other’s embarrassed appearance, with snow on their hair and clothes.
The two were stunned at first, and then they couldn’t help laughing. The laughter was pure and innocent, and it lingered for a long time in the snow.
However, at this moment, the cruelty of reality is like a sharp blade, ruthlessly cutting off the beauty of the past.
Esdeath’s face was cold, but her heart was filled with complicated emotions.
The idea that the strong prey on the weak and the strong are respected, which she had always firmly believed in, began to waver at this moment.
A pain she had never experienced before quietly spread in her heart, and this unfamiliar emotion made her feel a little overwhelmed.
Annan lay dying in her arms, the breath of life as weak as a candle in the wind.
The beautiful promise made in the North was easily shattered like a beautiful bubble in the face of cruel reality.
Annan’s hand gradually loosened, and the fire of his life gradually extinguished, little by little, until it disappeared…
The scene turns back to the real world.
A mechanical and cold system prompt sound suddenly rang in Annan’s mind.
[This simulation of killing the world of Scarlet Eyes——Esdeath simulation is over! 】

(This ability becomes more powerful as the host’s level increases)]In an instant, a powerful energy aura surged in Annan’s body like a volcanic eruption.
He Annan waved his hand casually, and a powerful icy force surged out, directly turning into ice crystals all over the sky.
It shot towards Esdeath in front of it like a sharp arrow.
When Esdeath saw the ice crystals shooting towards her from the sky, a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes for a moment, and then her brows furrowed tightly.
Almost at the same time, a huge ice crystal shield quickly formed in front of her eyes, protecting her tightly.
