Chapter 169: Fighter’s Showdown

"Okay, I'll do it!! But let me tell you in advance that I am not absolutely sure. If my life is in danger, I will still retreat temporarily. Anyway, you have been waiting for thousands of years, so it is not about this time."

I looked at Alice calmly, and my tone contained pity and doting that I couldn't even detect.

"Yes, thank you for your generosity."

Alice bowed deeply to me, and with that elegant and noble movement, I seemed to see the figures of Mrs. Yerris overlapping each other.

I took a deep breath, ignored the ghost girl who was staring at me with her intoxicating eyes, and turned my face to the battlefield on the other side. I admit, facing the face of the angel in front of me,

I am indeed a little moved by the girl with the soul, but she is a ghost after all, and I am not in the mood to act out a dark version of the unresolved love between a human and a ghost.

Trying my best to suppress the chaotic emotions, I carefully began to think about the next steps. Alice said that the source of the power of the ashes is the bloody magic circle at the moment, so the answer is already very simple, either completely destroy the magic circle, or

It is not easy to lead the ashes outside and escape the protection of the magic circle, but no matter which one it is.

The first is to destroy the magic circle. I almost exploded an intact saber before barely destroying one. If I want to really destroy the entire magic circle, I don’t know if the weapons I have are enough. Even if it is enough,

Xiaoxue and others may not be able to sustain it for that long.

The next step is to lead the ashes outside. The difficulty of this is definitely not inferior to destroying the magic circle, because there is only one way out of here, which is the spiral secret passage that Mrs. Yeris and I came from, but given the size of this secret passage

It is simply impossible to accommodate the ashes in and out. If I want to lead them out, I must first expand this secret passage. Thinking of this, for the first time, I realized that those who built this secret passage have been dead for tens of thousands of years.

The serious and responsible work spirit of the local craftsmen has caused resentment. Don't you know what frugality is and virtue? Don't you know that tofu projects can help stimulate economic growth and prosperity?

"My lord, my lord?"

Just when I was thinking hard and comparing which method was more convenient, Alice on the side suddenly gently pulled my arm.

"If you are wondering how to let them truly rest, you might as well try this."

She pulled out a necklace from her swan-like neck, took it off, and put it in my hand.

This silver-white necklace still retains the girl's sweet and warm five-pointed star necklace, but what surprises me most is the overflowing light power on the necklace, which almost dyes the entire necklace into the form of white energy.

White Monk Necklace (Gold)

Brilliance: One of the monk's basic skills, it adds divine power to teammates or yourself. It consumes 8 mana points and causes the target's attack to have +50% damage to undead and +50% damage to demons, lasting for 3 minutes.

Brilliant? Monk?

Some vague contents in Kane's book vaguely emerged in my mind. It is said that thousands of years ago, before the forces of hell invaded the land, the Dark Continent was extremely prosperous. Under the rule of theocracy, many forces of light emerged.

The main occupation. The current Paladin was one of the most popular occupations at that time. As for the monk occupation, although it was mentioned in the book, it seems to have become extinct long ago. I didn’t expect to see this kind of occupation here again.

equipment.

But why does a gold necklace shine with pure white light? I looked at Alice curiously, and she seemed to see my doubt and smiled.

"Probably, it has something to do with this song that I have sung for thousands of years. This song is called 'The Redemption of Evelina'. It was one of the famous hymns of the cathedral at that time. I think the bright white

The brilliance must have been injected into it by the holy power contained in the song."

Evelina's redemption? I looked at the necklace in my hand in amazement. But one thing is certain, what is injected into it is not the holiness attached to the song itself, but Alice's own longing. The song itself has no life.

And power, what gives it soul are the people who sing it, and the people who listen to it.

I slowly put on this golden necklace. In an instant, a milky white energy exuding the unique sweet smell of Alice surged out from my chest. My whole body exuded a hazy feeling like Alice.

White light. This is the huge power she has accumulated for thousands of years.

Looking at my glowing body, if I were to play the role of a priest or a missionary at this time, I might be able to gain people's faith just by standing there without saying anything about the glory of the Lord.

"It feels like the plot in popular hero novels. The brave man gets the weapon given by the princess and then defeats the devil, ha..."

I smiled bitterly and shook the scepter in my hand that was also glowing at Alice.

"Isn't that perfect? ​​But let me correct you, my parents are not demon kings."

Hearing my inspired exclamation, Alice smiled softly, tilted her head and replied. I couldn't tell that she was also one of the people poisoned by knight novels.

"Last question, Alex...were you present when your father killed your mother with his own hands? Did you ever hate him?" I turned around and walked slowly towards the battlefield.

"Yes, I was full of fear and resentment at that time. I didn't understand why my father wanted to destroy his happy life with his own hands. But when I saw my mother's temporarily happy smile, I don't know why, but I couldn't hate him anymore..." The following part

The voice replied.

"What a selfish pair of parents..." I paused and then sped up.

"Maybe that's the case. They will always leave me behind unknowingly and be immersed in the world of the two of them. However, I feel that I can be born into this world as their daughter - Alice Erqiton.

Very proud..."

"I really envy you, I can't even look like my parents..."

The voice gradually weakened in her ears, and Alice did not hear the words behind it. Looking at the retreating figure, no matter how dazzling the light on his body was, Alice could still feel that he was always hiding it with an indifferent look.

Underneath, the heavy loneliness and responsibility carried by those thin shoulders...

"Ashes... No, Lord Alexander. The game time is over. How long are you going to deceive yourself and others? Do you still want to continue to be willful in front of your daughter...?"

I raised my head and stared at the ashes standing in front of me with cold eyes. I waved the scepter with flashing lightning in my hand, and the surrounding air suddenly seemed to be compressed to the extreme and then exploded. Smoke and dust filled the air, and gravel flew away.

A deep ravine appeared at the foot of the ashes along the path I traced. It was so powerful. Is this Alice's power? Feeling the powerful power filling my body, I held the scepter tightly, feeling unprecedentedly confident.

I feel that even the solid ashes in front of me are just a pile of paper, so simple that I can push them away with just a wave of my hand.

The ashes, which had been scarred under the attack of Xiaoxue and poisonous flower vines, seemed to have been cast a restraining spell after hearing my words. The movement that was originally roaring and roaring suddenly stopped, regardless of the flow of blood on it.

The blood and the flashing scarlet in the eye sockets issued a command of resistance and fear to the sacred power radiating from my body. It still stopped, turned around quietly, and looked at me sternly.

My guess was indeed correct. From the beginning to the end, I couldn't believe that Alexander, as a strong man of the generation, could be so easily swallowed up by this insignificant dark force. The moment he just appeared, from his body

The warrior soul that burst out was so strong that it was frightening. He was still the powerful warrior from thousands of years ago. Time could not corrode his soul, nor could the dark power. He was just escaping and letting the dark power control him.

The body is hiding in its shell like a turtle. It is just unwilling to face reality.

"Stop escaping. Look like a strong man, like a husband, and like a father, so that I, as a younger generation, can have more aspirations, okay?"

I yelled at him loudly, feeling sorry for his misfortune and angry that he would not fight.

Quietly, the ashes just stood there quietly, my eyes looking up and its eyes looking down looked at each other in mid-air, unwilling to let go at all.

"I'm sorry, young man..."

From the body of the ashes, a long-lasting voice suddenly came out, a hoarse, mature, and majestic man's voice.

"There's nothing to apologize for..."

I sighed, there is really no need to apologize, because I will use the weapon in my hand to finish you off later.

"I must express my apology. Because of my willfulness, my baby daughter Alice has endured thousands of years of loneliness and boring torture. My beloved wife Yerris has no peace even in her deep sleep. Everything is ruined.

It was my fault……"

Although the ashes did not move at all, I felt Alexander's eyes silently sweeping over the evil corpse and Alice in the distance.

"It's time to end. I'm lucky to have met you."

Alexander said to himself, without giving me a chance to interrupt, which showed me his consistent style as the former commander of the army.

"However, before I die, please allow me to be willful for the last time. At least, let me rest like a warrior."

At the end of the sentence, his tone suddenly changed, as if he changed from the role of a husband and a loving father to an iron-blooded warrior in an instant.

"as you wish."

In an instant, I felt my blood boiling. The strong man from thousands of years ago issued a final challenge to me. What a great honor it was.

"Okay, very good, thank you, haha..."

Alexander suddenly raised his head and laughed loudly. He only made an imposing stretching movement. The blood on his body and the scarlet light in his eyes were like maggots adsorbed on the ice, which he drove away easily.

The green figure, green eyes, and monstrous momentum reappeared in front of me, with a radius of dozens of meters, including me, had been completely swallowed up by the storm field formed by his momentum. The snow and poisonous people on the side

The flowers and vines lay tightly on the ground, fighting hard against the storm. In the end, they could only whine helplessly and were blown away mercilessly. Even the holy light that was swelling in my body was suppressed to the ground.

Surface layer of skin.

"Let's fight quickly."

Alexander's heroic and steady voice penetrated the black storm in the middle and reached my ears.

"I think so too."

I yelled at the other side without showing any signs of weakness.
