Blood tax

Chapter 461 Twenty yards in radius, ice crystal star tattoo!
A light as bright as lightning, dazzling and suffocating.Behind this ray of light, there was a voice that would never be forgotten, roaring like thunder from afar.

who am I?
In the ear is the echo that covers all the noise, and there are vaguely distinguishable words and sentences.Some evils that only appear in mysterious and terrifying books are vividly reflected in my mind.

These evils seem to be returning to reality, subverting everything in the world, and surpassing the common sense that the world is accustomed to.

where am I?
In the blurred vision, Roland was stopping Haranduel with a surprised face.On his own resolute face, the ecstasy of getting what he wanted was showing.

Then, after a few seconds, everyone surrounded him in a hurry, the field of vision became erratic again, and consciousness burst out like a violent explosion.

"Hahaha, hey hahahahaha!"

Griffith let out a devilish, hysterical laugh.Werner Negri on the side held a glass of water in his hand, and looked as if he wanted to feed Griffith a few mouthfuls, but he didn't dare to approach.

Roland grabbed the water glass and splashed it on the war knight's face.

"Ah!" Griffith jumped up, looking around in confusion and bewilderment, "What are you going to do?!"

"Come and tell us!" Roland shouted.

A chill permeated Griffith's whole body.Some vague whispers came from an unknown corner in the reception room where no one spoke.These whispers were like indistinct, tense conversations, so low that it was impossible to discern what was involved, but with a terrible force that deeply disturbed the soul.

"Come and tell us!" Roland repeated, "Has the sacrifice started yet? Do you feel anything!

"answer me,

"conqueror!"

This loud shout made the people present retreat, and the depths of Griffith's soul have been touched.The previous uneasiness and confusion receded like a tidal wave.

He covered his water-stained face and murmured:
"It's too early."

"But the curtain has been lifted, whether you are ready or not," Roland giggled, "Look, gentlemen, the wave just now is a sixth-level psionic ripple, and the climax and end of the Chosen One's Sacrifice will be is coming.

"The final seven chosen ones will use this world as the arena to decide the winner. This is not a brawl that secretly uses gas explosions to cover up the truth. This is a fight that is destined to bet on the entire world.

"Negri, you leave immediately and let Ravenel lead the army we have prepared for him. Remember, keep it secret, you and Griffith can't reveal your relationship with the Confederacy yet.

"As for you, my friend, you must hurry back to Homewarts. There are many people there. They need a 'conqueror.'"

Griffith took a deep breath: "I feel powerful spiritual energy surging, not from the power of a chosen one, but from other people. He is using flesh and blood sacrifices in exchange for an opportunity to upgrade.

"He wants to challenge the hand of God."

……

The gnawed skeletons are soaked in the red and black mud, and a red moon dripping with blood hangs in the lightless dark sky.

The air resounded with sharp siren-like horns, which lasted endlessly.

It is clearly daytime, but Kloseel's territory has become a place of darkness.Crowds of Chaos Beasts rubbed their fangs and rustled, and the winged Harpy screamed in the air.Leading these monsters is a monster with the body of a bull or beast holding a blood-red axe.

As it strode forward, one after another the human soldiers were hunted, torn apart, eaten by the monsters, and their internal organs and flesh were eaten. The bones were scattered on the ground.

Bloody water gushed out from the ground, and it suddenly became a lake of blood that submerged the ankles.

In the depths of this large group of monsters, there is a monster with a sphinx and a scorpion tail wandering around.It patrols the territory lonely like a king, watching its subjects share blood.

Every time it roars, it attracts the frenzied cry of the herd.

Nona hid between a hut and a low wall, clutching a crossed sword.Berthier, Dedius, Kulala and several surviving Beyonders were with her, too nervous to breathe.Spirituality is warning them crazily—this manticore is a mythical creature of extraordinary rank.

The mutation came so suddenly that it was impossible to guard against.

Just for a moment, after the terrifying giant dragon left, the ground suddenly became swampy, and groups of monsters gushed out of the stone eggs.There are even some spider-like springtails, the size of puppies, as long as a living person is jumped on the face by them, it will not be long before a deformed monster breaks its ribs, screams and bursts out of its chest !

"I can't run away, I can't run away," Nona shook her head with difficulty, "These monsters must have ambushed in Iseus' territory long ago, waiting for us to come."

As soon as the words fell, a bloody crack opened on the mud not far away.

The space was torn apart, and Ophelia grabbed Neferti and jumped out of it, followed by several people, fleeing with disheveled hair.

"Run!" Ophelia yelled hoarsely towards the hidden corner of the group, "We contacted Hormonwatts, run! Just run!"

"Where are you going!?" Everyone was stunned.

There are monsters on the front, back, left, and right, and there is no way to go!
Immediately afterwards, another crimson fissure opened between the sky and the earth.

A living creature in the shape of a human, wearing a black robe, walked out of the crack and followed.

Dangerous aura lingered around him like a swimming snake, and the eyes in the shadows gave people the illusion of penetrating people's hearts.It seemed that those were no longer eyes, but a pale crimson moon hanging high above his head.

The surrounding background became more and more hazy at this moment, only the pair of eyes lifted and enlarged as if occupying the sky and the earth, like an ancient beast at the top of the food chain, admiring the dying struggle of its prey among the withered grass and dead leaves.

"Who!? How could he have the same type of power as Ophelia's space transfer!" Kulala whispered, "Is he also a void tearer?"

The man in black waved his hand slightly, and the monsters coming from all around stopped, watching his actions as if worshiping their own master.

"I come, I see, I record!

"I enlist the power of the terrifying knight!"

Everyone present felt their minds tense, and their souls were strangled by the invisible terrifying breath.With just a hesitation, those weird eyes fluctuated and melted in the dark night, only the dark aura of the void became stronger and stronger.

Nona immediately clenched the hilt of the sword. The power of the holy vessel allowed her to resist the impact of fear and break free from the restraint at a faster speed.

"Punishment! In the name of the Holy Light!"

The glorious blade of the cross sword emits a golden morning light like the rising sun, and even the blood moon and darkness will be purified and expelled by this blow.

The sword light tore apart the enemy's robe, revealing the crystal magic barrier.This person is really——

Iseus!
He has always been very low-key and appeared here, blocking in front of his friends and classmates.

"Iseus, what's going on!" The shocked Berthier was the first to ask loudly, "Is the Kloseel family going to be the enemy of the entire Bayerland!!"

Iseus just let out a cold laugh:

"If you want to resent, then resent this twisted world.

"Feel life!

"Experience withering!"

His voice seemed to be singing, but there was no sense of magical composition.His expression is calm and almost desperate, but it seems to hide indescribable distortion and madness:

"Let you take a look at the truth and perfection that the Kloseel family has pursued for generations!

"Start it, the moment of the red moon! I sacrifice memories, flesh and blood, and all precious things to the supreme existence in exchange for the ultimate answer to life!
After Iseus uttered the last word, everyone present fell into abnormal confusion for a moment.This feeling, as if liquid seeped into the body, spread towards the nerve endings and consciousness, and was about to assimilate and erode everything!
Nona immediately activated her psychic energy, trying to expel this penetrating power out.But soon she discovered that some of the rules had been changed.

At the same time, Kulala on the side reacted, bending his bow and shooting away the arrow wrapped in the icy aura.

"Bah!"

This attack collided with a shining wall, and the power of the holy light attached to the surface collided with each other, and then disappeared together.

"This?" Nona looked at the shattered Frostbolt in surprise, "Is this the power of a paladin?"

Iseus didn't answer, just whispered: "I come from the shadows."

I saw his figure flash and disappear out of thin air.

Kulala has already noticed the abnormality:
"This is the stalker's concealment? Why can he use so many abilities?"

As soon as the words fell, her pupils shrank suddenly, and the premonition of danger had locked her tightly.

"Kulala, get back!" Ophelia shouted, "Everyone, cover her!"

Among the Extraordinary present, the one with the strongest perception was Kulala, and Isius had already locked her position immediately.

A sharp blade emerged from the water mist, and cut her throat from behind.

"Here!" Kulala screamed, and the long white hair suddenly flew up, condensing into a dense forest of frozen guns in the cold to lock the sharp blade.

"Bang!" With a crisp sound, the blade, ice and long hair snapped together.Kulala's long silver hair was cut off in half, but she also broke free from the sneak attack from behind.She dodged sharply and dodged towards Dedius' position.

"Come and get close to me!" Dedius has already raised a wall of fire waves around him.The water mist that invaded from all sides dissipated one after another.

As soon as the words were spoken, a distorted storm appeared between Kulala and Dedius, and the terrifying arc that tore through the air was raging violently.Iseus actually calculated Kulala's actions accurately, and directly cast the wind pressure of death.At the same time, he himself had appeared behind Kulala again, and once again stabbed a dark blood short blade.

Seeing that Kulala no longer had the ability and equipment to escape the backstab this time, Nona, who was dozens of steps away, suddenly raised the cross sword in front of her, and quickly recited an unidentifiable prayer.Her tall and straight figure suddenly became blurred like ripples thrown into the water, and then Kulala's long-haired figure appeared in Nona's place, and Nona took the place of her companion, facing the attack of Iseus.

"The king's car changes position!"

This is one of the most powerful abilities Nona possesses as a paladin.She can target allies or enemies and change places with them.After the replacement, allies in danger are placed in a safe area, while enemies are thrown into the siege trap.Nona herself will appear in the most dangerous position surrounded by enemies.

However, she is a paladin, a paladin with the protection of a holy shield, and she is never afraid of being surrounded by enemies!

"Oh!"

The dark blood short blade tore a stream of light on Nona's shield and slid away.

"Repent!" Nona shouted, the silver cross sword in her hand was raised high, and she cast sanctions on Iseus, "You have nowhere to escape. Reckon!"

The coercion of this sword was like thunder, and there was even an illusion of an elf with wings of light appearing in the light of the sword, beheading it with pure and holy power.

Iseus' shield instantly cracked and shattered under the heavy blow.Before he could withdraw, Nona's sharp second blows followed, and a holy light fell from the sky like a hammer.

In a heroic shout, Nona's "reckoning" first shattered the shield, and then split Iseus's shoulder with a sword, splitting his chest in two.Even the unfathomable Iseus was severely injured by this combo, and fell to his knees, as if he wanted to repent for his conspiracy.

"As expected of Nona, the levels of your two major abilities, the Holy Shield and the King's Chariot, have been strengthened to level four, right? I can even feel that the gate of the extraordinary is being shaken by you!

"When you become extraordinary, Murat may not be your opponent."

The compliment sounded like air to Nona.She stared at the kneeling Isis, without any hesitation, her firm eyes swung down with the third sword.

"Good, but useless."

The ethereal voice of Iseus came, but it did not come from the fallen body, but the phantom sound like broken glass coming from all directions.His body suddenly disappeared from under the blade, leaving only a terrifying echo in a nightmare:

"Shutoral, you really deserve to be judged as a curse by the prophecy. If your real inheritance hadn't been cut off by us, the truth of this world might have been shaken.

"Of course, this is only possible. Now, you have no chance."

The ethereal reverberation has not yet disappeared, and everyone present heard an exclamation.Kulala, who was dozens of steps away, suddenly retreated rapidly.

"Protect her!" Ophelia, who was too exhausted to stand up, shouted, "Iseus will cut off our perception first!"

Kulala played all his cards at the critical moment.She has chosen the path of the demon hunter with first-class reflexes and speed, and the sealed item in charge can also create an airtight ice cone storm for all-round attack and defense.

Iseus is using several abilities that should be mutually exclusive, and they are of extremely high rank.However, he is only one person after all, and skills and items must have cooling restrictions.He must be afraid of my existence, worried that once we stabilize the formation, we will start to perceive his existence and interrupt his hiding and resting.

He really came at me!
Kulala's mind was running at high speed.Girls who survived the meat-grinder-like battlefield on the Eastern Front don't wear military uniforms because they look good.

As long as I hold on for a few seconds, Nona's ability cooldown expires, and we can block it!As long as Berthier and Dedius complete the fusion and have a large-scale attack...

Yes, I can win!

Kulala's nimble figure retreated extremely quickly, opened her arms and waved them like flowers blooming, and the blooming ice cones flew densely around in the shape of petals:

"Take it, Iseus, it's not so easy to kill me! Twenty yards in radius, ice crystal star tattoo!
"Your advance and retreat have been determined by me..."

"Bah!"

A loud noise interrupted Kulala's thinking.She lowered her head and found that she was flying backwards rapidly.

In the layer upon layer of ice picks, her chest was pierced through, spewing out blood and bone fragments.Because the speed was so fast, there was a whimper in the air, mixed with a chilling crackling sound.

The crackle of breastplate, ribs, and spine snapping.

"Kulala—!"

Nona, Dedius, and Ophelia watched helplessly as Kulala, who was still scattering ice picks a second ago, was pierced through the chest, flew upside down and hit a large rock, and then slid down softly .

Looking up at the sky with her beautiful eyes, she still couldn't believe that she had received a fatal blow.

How is this possible?
How did Iseus avoid my ice pick?At this distance, I should hit him and tear him apart... Did he use any special ability?what happened?
A bloody gleam sprinkled from the sky, shining on everyone's horrified faces.

Ah—is that how it feels?
Kulala looked at the sky, and tried to lower her head again.Out of the corner of his sight, he saw a big hole in the center of the breastplate, and blood was dripping down his arm, merging into the blood lake on the ground.Because she couldn't see her wound and couldn't feel the pain, this scene made her feel a little unbelievable.

Sure enough, I am the first...

I left that ghostly place on the Eastern Front and lived in the big house in Byerland, thinking that I could live a life of wearing makeup and wearing skirts every day, but I fell down in the dark and cold woods in the first winter.At that time, I had a feeling that I was done with it.

This feeling is really annoying... Not long after, I was injured again in the dilapidated manor, and I still remember it, it really hurts!However, it's a little strange, this time I don't feel much pain...

Seriously, little fireball, why are you looking at me like this... I think I can still save it.

I heard that there will be people leaving every session of Shutoral, which was incredible when I heard it for the first time.After all, if you worked so hard to survive the battlefield, come back from such a far place, and come to a safe and warm world, why can't you live a relaxed and happy life?

I turned out to be the first...

Death is coming, you must survive!All the dresses in my closet are reserved for you.

Wolf Cavalry, I hate her so much, why is there a good man like Midian Maier around her, it's so unfair, I hope she's okay, otherwise Midian Maier will be very sad, I can't imagine the appearance of Gale Wolf crying...

Dedius, am I being too harsh in rejecting him? It’s okay, there won’t be a good result anyway, hehe, I made a very right decision, eh!

Russell, what are you doing?You must be napping on the table at this time... Will you rush here desperately?Maybe, better not to come and forget about me...

Blood froth gushed out from the lungs, blocked Kulala's throat, and then spewed out intermittently from the mouth mixed with the broken internal organs, all over the beautiful breastplate.

It hurts, I can't breathe, it hurts...

I hope everyone can have a more beautiful death.

On April 1445, 4, Kulala, killed in action.
