Blood tax

Chapter 90 God's Choice

Amber swung a full blow at the apostle.The latter didn't even have time to withdraw his hand from the corpse of the garrisoned mage and smashed it out like a cannonball.

This punch broke the fast spiral trajectory in the air, and even the blood and dust splashed in the hall were swept away.The apostles chiseled through the walls and fell on their backs across several rooms.His left shoulder and arm were crushed by the blow, turning into a mass of broken and twisted rotten flesh and broken bones.

"Griffith backs up," Amber lifted the gauntlet wrapped in fine glow and hammered on his chest, "I want to fight with all my strength."

The headless cult apostle stood up from the ruins, turning a blind eye to the injuries that would undoubtedly kill mortals.He drooped his broken left arm, and made a counter-attacking stance.

"Very well, although I don't know where you came from, the monster or the puppet of the evil god," Amber walked through the rubble with sexy and vigorous steps, flaming golden flashes roaring around her, and she roared. His eyes became focused and determined, even a little excited.

"Let you see the power of lightning and storm God's choice."

The wind whipped up dust and rubble, which crackled against Griffith's armor.Amid the roaring air waves and roars, Amber turned into a continuous phantom and charged the apostle head-on. At the moment when he was about to encounter it, he stepped sideways to avoid sweeping, and slammed into his flank.

The adamantine gauntlet ripped open the apostle's abdominal muscles, ripped apart the flesh and bones, and poured the power of gold into it.The apostle was beaten backward and suffocated, and immediately responded with an elbow. Amber's nimble steps had already taken a step forward, sweeping his leg towards his right knee.

With a terrifying sound of bone cracking, the apostle fell to his knees with a broken knee.However, he didn't care about the pain, and his burly body was like a surging mudslide, venting attacks everywhere.

A fist that was enough to hit a Sequence 7 Beyonder with a deadly roar roared, and the energy alone was earth-shattering.He is like a human-shaped windmill, intact legs and broken limbs, and even broken bones exposed to the air are terrible weapons, spinning and sweeping without any scruples.

Amber raised his hand, raised the right arm of the apostle in the swept gap, and charged a punch to his side.The invisible airflow was suffocated, and then burst out like a blast.

Griffith wanted to help, but couldn't keep up with their movements.Amber and the apostles fought together like lightning and mountains, breaking walls and demolishing houses wherever they went, and no one could stop them.

The pillars and walls of the mansion collapsed in pieces like rubble and quicksand under the terrifying force of the apostles.In just a few seconds of fighting, the two fought from the hall to the study, smashed the lounge and dining room, and finally stepped on the bathroom and flower room to shreds.The entire building on the east side was already crumbling, finally unable to support it, and collapsed with a bang.

In the dust in the sky, the water pipe that was cut off in the bathroom was spraying water jets into the sky for a while.The beams and columns squeaked and fell in pieces.

Amber jumped and stood deftly on a broken wall.Her delicate cheeks were half smeared with blood, and her armor and body were covered with splattered wounds.Although she avoided all deadly attacks, the aftermath of the Apostle's terror still wounded her.

Beneath the rubble, the headless apostle had his left arm broken, his right leg broken, his right rib disintegrated, and arcs of gold and silver gnawed and ravaged his wounds.But he was still half-kneeling on the ground with an expression of indifference, and even dug out his own head from the rubble.

"If you change to a generalist, you should die immediately."

Amber's curly and fluffy blonde hair fluttered in the wind, her body was soaked with blood, but her eyes and aura were as hot as flames.

"Good, good!"

The blond girl wiped the blood between her eyebrows and shook it off, bowed her back slightly, and was ready to go like a storm.

Griffith found that Amber's blue eyes had turned blood-like red, and the terrifying surging fighting intent was like a surging tide.If Amber's usual image is a hot and cheerful southern girl, now she has become a completely different creature.

She roared with an aura and a frenzy that even the Orc warriors of the East were so proud of:

"Thunder and storm are above, this monster is worth fighting!"

The apostle suddenly tore off his left arm and threw it at Umber, who was swooping in.

"boom!"

A bright ball of light exploded, and the sudden shock wave blew both Amber and Griffith into the ruins.The city defense troops who were coming from all sides fell down in an instant.

……

Griffith crawled out of the rubble, and found that there was not much left of the entire mansion, and the City Defense Army and other Extraordinary fell to the ground in disarray.The apostle with a broken leg jumped onto a horse and fled down the mountain.

"Amber!" Griffith dug out the girl who was half buried in the rubble, and was delighted to find that she was fine. "Let's go after him!"

"No, no," Amber was disheartened, shaking his head out of breath, "I, I have to rest for a while. You go, don't, don't confront each other."

"Understood." Griffith found an undisturbed military horse from the outer cordon and jumped up, tracking the apostle's escape.

He chased down the mountain from the top of the mountain, and was surprised to find that the winding mountain road was crowded with people everywhere.

They had gathered here early in the morning, shouting and excited.From time to time racing wagons galloped past them, whizzing through extremely dangerous hairpin turns.

There was a sprint race this morning.That peaceful race.Wait a minute, the Hanami memorial service also starts tonight!
Griffith yelled badly, and watched the apostle pass through the speeding carriage with his head between his hands.He himself didn't have such courage, so he could only bite the bullet and detour.

The two carriages in the front are hard to distinguish, and the carriage on the inside has already occupied a favorable position. As long as you pass the hairpin bend in front, you can enter the straight road to the end, and victory is in sight.

The outside carriage did not intend to give up either.The rider steers the wagon with great skill, and the metal wheels wrapped in expensive rubber are already propped up against the roadside gutter, drifting with inward force and looking to cut into the inside line.

I won!The driver cheered in his heart.Suddenly, he saw a burly figure appearing beside him on horseback.The figure had no head, but raised his left hand when he was side by side with him, revealing a blood-stained head.

The blood-red eyes stared at the unbelievable driver and said:
"You are speeding, pay attention to traffic safety."

"Wow!" The driver screamed in horror, and crashed into the roadside slope together with the inside carriage.

The impact knocked the Apostle off the track as well.With only one arm and one leg, he couldn't control the horse, rushed towards the cliff and the sea, and fell heavily on a raised platform.

"Wow!"

The clamoring spectators dispersed in a hurry.

The apostle held his head and struggled to get up from the ground.Suddenly, a shrill sound erupted from behind him.A spear went through his left leg, nearly breaking the joint.

Griffith threw all three pistols without stopping.Although he still has the power to project more, this will consume a lot of physical strength and even cause physical damage.Three spears in one-on-one combat are enough to kill or maim a goblin troll, even a mountain monster.

However, the apostles seem to be fine.To him, it seems that other than the joint damage, the other penetrating injuries are no big deal.He grabbed the spear pierced into his body and slowly pulled it out.

What material is this monster made of! ?When the spear hits, it is twisted and deformed due to the violent impact, and pulling it out from the body will cause more serious secondary trauma!
But the apostle in front of him seemed indifferent to the tearing wound, he pulled out the curved spear and threw it aside, and then went to pull the second one.

Griffith was stunned.

The flesh and blood were torn apart and fell to the ground piece by piece.The apostle's resolute face did not say pain, not even the rapid breathing.

This apostle was able to launch a deadly counterattack after suffering a fatal blow from Connex's spell, and then fought with Amber in a high-speed fight where every punch could kill me half to death. After being caught up by me, he could continue to fight. Indifferent to the heavy hit of the shotgun...

Is he undead or a puppet?Griffith moved slowly around the apostles to keep a distance, finding himself a good foothold on the battlefield.

He knew that he would enter hand-to-hand combat with his own body, and the overwhelming power of the apostle would shatter his bones at the first moment.However, as long as the apostles have the will to fight, there is still a chance.If he doesn't fight, that's fine, as long as he doesn't run away, the garrison in the port will come with heavy weapons sooner or later.

You monster can't even hold a crossbow!This time I see someone can stop me from using artillery!Griffith's brain was running at high speed, contemplating one vicious strategy after another.

The monster whose legs were all damaged gave up escaping, dragged its amputated limbs, put its hands on the ground like a curly-haired baboon, and rolled over towards Griffith.He is undoubtedly convinced that with just one blow, this human being can be killed with just one blow.

Griffith retreated to the edge of the cliff, and seeing the crazy apostle approaching him, he suddenly turned and jumped off the cliff.The apostles followed, falling like a meteorite.

"Being fooled, puppet!" Griffith cheered in his heart, "This is my Griffith's tactical trap! You are far from competing with me in intelligence!"

Griffith casts a spell, but his goal is not to be an apostle, but to keep pouring extreme cold into the sea.

"thump!"

Griffith fell first.

After he smashed into the water, the place where he fell into the water immediately froze into extremely thick ice, and there were even dense spikes that bulged upwards.

The sea has become a trap for hunting apostles.Many battles have undoubtedly revealed that although the apostle has no fatal weakness and his strength is extremely terrifying, his defense power has not reached such an amazing level.

"boom!"

The apostle slammed it heavily, making a ticklish and frightening roar.The solid ice was smashed into pieces in the first place, sputtering like fragments, and even stabbed Griffith, who had already hid in the water, but also tore the apostle's body.

The powerful and terrifying headless monster smashed into pieces like feces pulled from the sky by a wild bird, and sank into the sea.

Done!Even if it's still alive this time, its fragmented body has lost the ability to fight and move, and it can only be at my mercy.Damn monster, watch me pry out your secrets and panty color!
Griffith floated to the surface and took a deep breath, ready to dive to search for the other's Beyonder characteristics.

"Level 5 psionic energy ripples are detected, quickly evacuate!" Minos suddenly issued a hurried warning, "This lifeform has no Beyonder characteristics and source qualities, and the wreckage is extremely dangerous. Evacuate quickly."

what! ?

Griffith didn't have time to ask, and turned around and fled desperately into the distance.Although the bone ring has many secrets, the cooperation between the two parties has always been good.Before he swam for long, an earth-shattering shock wave rolled him up, wrapped in huge waves, and threw him out far away.

The wreckage of the apostle had a violent explosion similar to that of the mage tower, and the terrifying shock wave threw Griffith, who had not fled far, out of the water.

Griffith flew out like a rag doll, passed out with half a broken mail, and sank to the bottom of the sea.

……

In a trance, he seemed to see a beautiful woman approaching his side.She is so beautiful and graceful that she should not appear in the world.However, there was a strange feeling that made him feel frightened from the bottom of his heart, and he had no blasphemous thoughts at all.

"who is it?"

Griffith gradually woke up from the coma.He had a feeling that his head was resting on the girl's wonderful legs.When he was about to open his eyes, his head banged on the ground, and there was a thud of falling water in his ears.

Ah, where am I?Griffith rubbed his head and sat up, and found that his chainmail had also been lost, and he was drenched in the water just now.There was no pain in his body, and he was very weak.

"Are you okay? Mr. Apprentice Knight." Miss Arendelle looked at him in the sea.

This mysterious and charming girl had long hair scattered, revealing her round and white shoulders, undulating slightly in the sea, almost revealing her charming curves.

"You saved me?"

"Yeah," said Arendelle, "you choked a lot of water just now, and your injuries were serious. I gave you some treatment, and you should be fine now."

"Thank you, have you always been by my side?"

"Yeah, otherwise I'll be sad when you wake up and forget about me," Arendelle added, watching Griffith's cheeks turn red, "Just kidding."

The azure blue water is very clear, but the reflections of the waves and the sea are just right to block Arendelle's curves and secrets.She had bare shoulders, smooth curves and fair skin as if she was wearing nothing.

"This is where?"

"The southernmost point of Neopolis, the place known as the End of the World," Arendelle pointed to a black reef in the distance with her bare arm. "I happened to be swimming nearby."

"Did you take me to swim a long distance?" Griffith can roughly tell that the position where he fell into the water is on the east side of Tianya, and now it is west.

"I'm great."

"Miss Arendelle, do you usually swim here? It's not safe here, there was a fight just now." Griffith said seriously.As a matter of common sense, it is very dangerous for such a beautiful girl to be alone on a deserted beach.But there was a vague feeling, even something indescribable that made him feel otherwise.

"It's not dangerous," Arendelle shook her head. "My minions are all around here, and I'm safe."

I didn't see a single minion.Griffith laughed: "How do I go back? Can you arrange for one or two minions to escort me."

"Come with me!" Arendelle smiled slightly, "There is no road leading to the land here, so we can only swim back, and we can have breakfast together."

"I'm in a hurry, and I have to report the battle situation to my superiors as soon as possible."

"Breakfast, too! I'll let someone tell it for you, come on, I'll take you back." Arendelle reached out to Griffith on the reef.

The bright and attractive girl swam towards Griffith, graceful and sexy, more graceful than any woman he had ever seen.

Griffith's eyes couldn't help but cast to the blue water, wanting to see the beauty of the world.

Before he could see anything clearly.Maybe the battle took too much stamina, maybe the reef was slippery, maybe the center of gravity was unstable.Griffith fell into the water with a plop.

"Grumble!"

Griffith bubbling and struggling to the surface.Arendelle came up from behind, her slender hands resting on her broad shoulders, and the song-like smile caused his mind to fly into the distance.

The girl pushed him from behind, and smiled lightly beside the clumsy apprentice knight.

"You can't look back!"

"Of course."

Griffith felt that his body was very light, and the warm water wrapped around him, like a gentle dreamland.His mood also relaxed, and his thoughts became more sober.

But soon he had a feeling.I am surrounded by something.

Beneath the azure blue sea, something seemed to be swimming and hovering that he had never seen before.

The surroundings were extremely quiet, and Arlandelle hardly made a sound.The silence magnified Griffith's fear and inspiration, as if he was swimming through a bottomless abyss, and just below the line of sight and the sea, there was something beyond his common sense and imagination.

"Arendelle, are you there?"

Griffith felt his teeth chattering slightly.Although the sea was comfortable and warm, the fear of the unknown and the inexplicable chill had enveloped him.

"What's wrong?" The girl leaned over gently and said softly in his ear, "Did you see anything?"

No, I don't see anything.

Griffith saw nothing.

However, there seemed to be some kind of shadow under the waves, which was maintaining the same graceful rhythm as the stunningly beautiful Arendelle.This elegance also has a sense of suffocation and oppression that makes people unable to look directly, like an illusion, but also extremely real.

She could see her true face just by glancing at the sea behind her, but she didn't have the slightest thought or courage.

"We're here!"

Arendelle patted Griffith on the shoulder and pushed him toward the shore.The girl's clothes were still lying on the rocks on the shore.
