In the night, in the dense forest.
At this moment, a tall man's shadow stood silently in front of the cliff on the top of the mountain. He was holding a rusty sword he didn't know where he found it from and looked at the person in front of the cliff silently. The dark night in the distance.
For him, who had just experienced everything, was exhausted physically and mentally, and was full of anger with nowhere to express it. The dark night in front of him seemed to have become so dazzling!
because……
That black night reminded him of the black tornado and everything that happened in that black tornado!
"Jie~!"
As he thought about it, with anger brewing in his heart and nowhere to vent, he gritted his teeth and tightened his grip on the hilt of the sword in his hand, as if he wanted to pull out the rusty sword and find something. It was as if the enemy was going to kill him wildly.
It's a pity that there are no enemies here, he is the only one here!
So, after a long time, he slowly loosened his grip on the hilt of the sword, and slowly raised the eyelid at the corner of his still intact eye to look at the distant night sky.
for a long time……
"The fate of mankind..."
"Is it really controlled by God?"
"if not……"
“Why can’t humans do what they want most of the time?”
In the end, he just sighed sadly and said this as if talking to himself, and then he pulled out the sword with one hand, then slowly turned around, preparing to drag his tired body and broken heart back to his companions around them.
'laugh! '
'Shu, I can answer your question! '
But at this moment, before the man could take a few steps away, suddenly, an ethereal, crisp and somewhat charming voice came from behind him, and it rang out in the dense forest at night.
"!!"
Clang!
Hearing this, the man turned around suddenly and raised the sword with one hand. At the same time, he shook the sword body, causing the sword to make a frightening sound of breaking through the air. After assuming an offensive and defensive stance, he moved towards The night in front yelled angrily.
"who?"
"get out!"
While shouting angrily, he was also ready to attack at any time.
Because now, the anger in his heart is almost overflowing. If they are those monsters, he can guarantee that he will use the weapon in his hand to chop them into pieces!
must!
"Hi……"
(^▽^)
"!!"
The next second, the man was startled, and he almost couldn't help but cut out the big sword in his hand.
There was clearly a cliff in front of him. Originally, he thought that what appeared would be the kind of undead monster that was chasing him, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be a blonde, blue-eyed man, wearing a red skirt, and holding a stuffed toy in his hand. At this moment The little girl who looked like a mountain elf, smiling cutely and waving to him?
"??"
"Who are you……"
Just from the appearance and the other person's pair of pure blue eyes, the man knew that the other person did not seem to be his enemy, nor the dirty things that were chasing him. So, after thinking about it, he calmed down. Xuan put down the big sword in his hand, and then asked with some strangeness and vigilance.
He had to be vigilant!
After all, this is in the mountains late at night, with a cliff in front of it, and the other party appears in mid-air outside the cliff. Such things are obviously not something that a normal human can do, let alone a normal human being. What a girl can do!
"Annie!"
(*^▽^*)
"Anne Hastur!"
(^_)☆
"I am a great traveler who likes to travel around the world!"
*. (ˊ▽ˋ*)*.
Annie introduced herself with cheers, not minding at all the fact that she came from another world.
"??"
"Grand Traveler?"
Traveling around the world?
The one-armed, one-eyed man didn't speak, he just frowned and thought.
To be honest, if ordinary people came to him and told him that, he would definitely not believe it. However, if it was the little girl in front of him, who could walk towards him step by step from the cliff in front of him without falling, He had to believe the words of a strange little girl who looked as delicate and clear as an elf.
certainly!
Believe it or not, he doesn't mind.
Because, compared to those, he now wants to know more, what is the purpose of the other party suddenly appearing behind him and answering his question?
"Is such that!"
(ω)
"I just heard your question and felt a little surprised, so I came over to have a look. Didn't you scare me?"
(゜▽＾*)
Anne said playfully, and winked at the other party again, looking innocent.
"Na!"
(^▽^)
"Pork!"
☆(o*ω)
"Can someone ask, why did you ask that question just now?"
|ω)
In this way, while explaining, Annie walked step by step from the mid-air outside the cliff to stand three steps in front of the opponent. She raised her head and asked playfully, just standing within the attack range of the opponent's big sword. He looked like he had no defense at all.
"question?"
"this……"
After hearing Annie's explanation, the man was relieved but also a little hesitant.
Under normal circumstances, a man would definitely not respond to such a strange little girl in the mountains and forests late at night, but... I don’t know why, but when he looked at Anne’s blue and beautiful pair of eyes again, Behind his pure eyes, his expression slowly relaxed, and he lowered his eyelids and slowly told what happened to him.
…
His name is Gus, an orphan born from the corpses of this troubled world, and raised by his adoptive parents Sissy and Gambino.
Later, when he was the same age, a series of tragic things happened to him, and he even accidentally killed the bad-character mercenary adoptive father Gambino, and from then on he began to become a man alone in this chaotic world. He became a mercenary with no fixed abode, living with war and death all day long.
Later, Guts encountered the Eagle Group and was defeated by Griffith. After being impressed by the opponent's personality, Guts was recruited into the team and began to become friends with Griffith.
But his suffering officially began at that time.
In the subsequent war, the Eagle Regiment joined the Hundred Years War on the side of Midland. Soon, based on his outstanding military exploits, Griffith was awarded the title of Viscount and named White Phoenix, and the entire Eagle Regiment also went smoothly. Being promoted to the aristocratic class was originally a very good thing.
But at that moment of success, Gus suddenly decided to leave the Eagle Group and find a reason to establish himself. It was that decision that destroyed almost everyone, including himself.
Later, many, many things happened...
And what made Gus feel the most resentful was naturally the fact that Griffith sacrificially corrupted and sacrificed all the members of the Eagle Killing Group, and also humiliated Casca in front of him!
At that time, if the skeleton knight hadn't come to the rescue, I'm afraid that he and Casca would have been sacrificed to the devil by Griffith, and it was in a way that he thought was extremely angry and desperate. ?
"..."
"Then……"
"You see, I have become like this..."
"One hand is gone, one eye is blind, Casca is tortured to the point of going crazy, and the Eagle Group is finished..."
"Everything is the conspiracy of those demon gods..."
"so……"
"I don't understand why humans can't do things according to their own will most of the time?"
"Ah!"
"Are we really just pawns in the hands of those demon gods?"
After talking and saying everything, Gus couldn't bear it anymore, and all the depression, helplessness, anger and despair turned into a sad and dry laugh.
"..."
(⊙_⊙)
Anne didn't speak in a hurry, she just blinked and pretended to think seriously.
"Pork!"
()
"No one is anyone's chess piece!"
(ψ｀▽′)o
For a long time, Annie, who knew the whole story, thought about it, and then she waved her fists and began to answer the question that the other party had whispered from the beginning and successfully attracted her to this world:
"The reason why humans cannot do things according to their own will most of the time is of course because humans are not strong enough!"
()
"Only when you are strong enough can you control your own destiny!"
()
Regarding this, Annie, who traveled in the endless world, had already seen this many times.
In a world without supernatural powers, the reason why humans cannot do things according to their own will most of the time, and the reason why their destiny is controlled by others, is naturally because of force, such as guns, armies and destructive-level weapons. In the hands of others, chaebols, large capital groups, or vested interests in the country, those people will naturally not easily give up wealth, status, and the power to control others and their destiny.
But in a world with a supernatural power system, such as the current world, it would be much simpler.
Naturally, it is because human beings are not strong enough. If they were strong enough to kill gods and demons, they would not dare to take the initiative even if they had a million courages!
so!
Anne has actually seen that kind of boring problem very clearly. No matter what world it is in, in the final analysis, power determines everything, and with absolute power, no matter what conspiracy or trick is, it will not work!
If nothing else, let's just talk about Queen Anne herself.
As long as she wanted to, she could change the fate of this pitiful, broken-armed and blind monster in front of her at any time.
or……
As long as she wants to, she can directly destroy the entire world with her backhand, so that all the gods, demons, humans, monsters or elves in this world will be annihilated. By then, those gods, demons, humans, monsters, elves, etc. No matter what ideas you have or what kind of efforts you make, of course they will all be useless in the face of her absolute power!
Of course, Anne was just making a metaphor. She would definitely not destroy a world easily, at least not yet?
(…)
(●￣￣●)
(Yes, Tibbers is sure that there is none at the moment. She just packs a world of delicious food with her. However, it is temporarily unknown whether she will have the kind of world-destroying behavior in the future.)
"Power?"
"strength……"
Hearing Annie's words, the one-armed man Gus was startled, then slowly slumped to the ground and lowered his head, and began to think carefully. At the same time, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, and he did not speak for a long time.
Because, he remembered the words of the skeleton knight who saved him, Casca, and Rickett.
The other party told him that everything that happened to him was just the beginning. The sacrifice of gods and demons would not be interrupted or terminated. A warrior like him who was branded but had a lucky escape would Must he carry the black flame of hatred in his heart, spend his whole life with the giant sword and kill those endless undead souls, until he is destroyed by the undead souls and completes the sacrifice?
If he had the strength, maybe he could really resist those undead souls, take revenge on those demon gods that day, and completely control his own destiny?
However, he knew that it was just a wish after all, and he was just an ordinary human being after all.
He will die, get hurt, get tired, go crazy, and cry at the same time... He has absolutely no way to deal with the existence that plays with his destiny and that kind of demon.
At least not yet!
"Pork!"
|ω)
"Do you want power? Do you want to understand the meaning of life?"
()
"I can give you a chance to have the power to fight against gods, demons and evil spirits!"
(ψ｀▽′)o
At this time, Annie didn't know what suddenly occurred to her. Maybe she saw the other person's inner thoughts, or for other reasons, she suddenly came up to the other person and whispered seductively.
That expression looked exactly like the legendary evil little devil who wanted to trick humans into falling and giving up their souls.
"!!"
Clang! !
However, it was better that Anne didn't say that. As soon as she said that, Gus suddenly thought of something terrible, and suddenly raised the giant sword with one hand and struck at Anne brazenly.
"!!"
!? ('')
"What are you doing?!"
o(*｀ー)o
Fortunately, Annie was able to dodge quickly, otherwise, the other party's rusty broken sword might have hit her head and shattered.
(…)
(￢￢.)
"I see!"
"You, like the demons who turned Griffith into that kind of monster, want something from me. I won't be fooled!"
"Give up!"
"I, Gus, will never accept anything from you!!!"
Gus yelled angrily.
Yes, Gus now regards Annie as the same existence as the four God's Hands, that is, the four gods and demons in the black tornado, and firmly believes that the other party is trying to deceive him. Fall?
Although it is true that people like Griffith can gain powerful power, Guts also knows that the more he gains, the more he will lose!
Unfortunately, now he really doesn't have much left, only his dignity, Casca, and the hatred in his heart.
And those are the last things he wants to protect, and he will never hand them over to anyone easily, not even other demon gods who are opposed to the four demon gods!
"??"
(.)
"Strange, you didn't even ask what they gave you, and you just refused?"
(ˇˇ)
Anne was quite surprised by the other party's performance, because she never seemed to say that she wanted to get something from the other party.
What's more, she really just gave it away without thinking about getting anything in return, nor did she think about taking anything away from the other party. Therefore, the other party's reaction seemed to her to be really... It makes no sense at all!
"Do not ask!"
"Everything I can lose has been lost. Now, I will protect the rest to my death!"
"Don't even think about tempting me!"
Gus, holding the big sword, was very determined, and anger began to brew in his one eye, and he was ready to attack again.
"Really?"
乛乛
"Um……"
(`)
"What if the thing they gave you could heal the little sister in the cave behind you?"
(*︶*).． .:*
After thinking about it, Annie suddenly asked with a smile, and pointed to somewhere on the dark mountain peak in the distance.
"??"
"Cure Casca?"
Hearing this, Gus was startled, and almost instantly, he almost agreed.
"!!"
"No!!"
"You are indeed the kind of demon who knows how to play with and seduce people's hearts!"
"Don't even think about it!!"
But soon, Gus came to his senses again, and at the same time, the hand holding the sword tightened, just like his mind that was as hard as a rock at this time.
"Nonsense!"
(ˇεˇ)
"I'm not a demon!"
s(｀ヘ;)ゞ
Lady Queen Anne said that she could scare away a large group of low-level weirdos like demons just by stamping her feet, and she would not compare herself with those guys!
"but……"
()
"You don't want it, but what if they insist on giving it to you?"
(ω)
If the other party comes to ask for it, Anne may not necessarily give it. However, when the other party openly refuses when she says she wants to give it, that kind of thing is absolutely impossible in Anne's opinion and absolutely intolerable.
Since she wants to give it, the other person should accept it with tears of gratitude, and it should be taken even if it is taken, and it should be taken even if it is not taken!
(…)
ε=(｀●)))Alas
"what are you up to?"
"!!"
"Don't even think about it!"
After listening to Annie's words and seeing Annie starting to step forward again, Gus became a little nervous, but at the same time, his hand holding the sword became harder.
"The faith to protect?"
(ω)
"That's fine!"
(ψ｀╭╮′)
As she spoke, Annie suddenly stretched out her hand, and then a golden light that was so bright that it was a bit dazzling, like the scorching sun at noon in the night sky, suddenly flashed on Annie's fingertips in the darkness of the dense forest.
"ah!"
Subconsciously, Gus, who had never encountered such a sight before, closed his only eye.
"??"
Then, he felt a stinging pain on the back of his hand. When he opened his eyes, he discovered that there was a golden flame mark on the back of his one-armed hand?
"demon!"
"what have you done?"
Seeing this, Gus, of course, roared with grief and anger.
Immediately afterwards, when he saw the mark, he subconsciously thought of the other mark on the back of his neck, and once again launched an attack on the opponent without hesitation.
"laugh!"
(-)
"Can't hit!"
()hey-hey!
Annie just flashed and appeared outside the cliff, easily staying away from the attack distance of the opponent's broken sword.
"That's the mark of the Flame of Holy Light!"
(*^▽^*)
"Sweetie, from today onwards, pray to the Holy Light! Then, the stronger your faith is, the stronger the power it will give you back!"
(゜▽＾*)
"Whether it's revenge or protection, you can do it. You should be able to feel its benefits now, right?"
(^▽^)
While Annie was speaking, a faint golden light suddenly began to flash on the angry Gus, and then, the other party's injuries quickly improved with visible force to the naked eye.
Of course, one arm and a necrotic eyeball cannot grow back.
"??"
"This, this is..."
Feeling the changes in his body, and then discovering that the power was warm, a murmur of justice and hope, like a mother's embrace, and very different from what he had originally imagined, Gus was stunned, and Subconsciously, he slowly put away the sword in his hand, and at the same time, more doubts and a little joy began to arise in his heart.
"!!"
"you……"
"What exactly do you want from me?!"
But soon, reason once again defeated Gus, who had just emerged from the undue possessiveness, and he once again raised his weapon and asked Anne with firm words angrily at Anne beyond the cliff.
"get something?"
(.)
"Um……"
(`)
"If you have to say something, it might be happiness, right?"
(⊙⊙)
That was not Anne's original intention, but now she has made up her mind and wants to see how much fun this weird man in front of her can bring her?
"They gave you the Holy Light, and then they wanted to see how far you could go with the help of the Holy Light and your faith. How interesting would that be?"
()
"Also..."
乛乛
"People also want to verify whether humans can control their own destiny and do things according to their own wishes after gaining power?"
|ω)
"That's about it."
()hey-hey!
Annie replied with a smile.
After all, when she was outside the world before, she was attracted by the other party's soul sigh that was like murmuring to herself, so she naturally had to know the result before she left.
Although, she was very sure that her idea was definitely not wrong, but anyway, it was idle, and it was always okay to verify it now.
"you……"
"It is indeed a devil!"
Gus was stunned when he heard this, and put away his sword again. At the same time, he stared at Annie for a while before he said so firmly.
"Whatever you think!"
ε=(ˇεˇ))) Bah! !
"correct!"
()°
"Those evil spirits are coming!"
(-)
"So!"
(ψ｀▽′)o
"Let others see what you can do?"
o(*︶*)o
As she spoke, Annie disappeared in an instant, and at the same time, those demonic undead spirits and black shadows appeared next to Gus, gathering towards him with ill intentions.
"!!"
"hateful!"
Although he was unwilling to become a pawn of that kind of demon, Gus still had to turn around and raise the long sword in his hand. At the same time, he shouted angrily and charged towards the undead with all his strength.
At this moment, his body and the rusty sword were shining with that weird golden light. It was the power given to him by the little 'Demon God' girl just now, which made him resist instinctively, but at the moment, He couldn't care about that much anymore.
Because Casca was not far away, he had no other choice but to fight and destroy the incoming undead!
soon!
A figure who wielded a huge sword like a meat grinder and was also wrapped in the kind of golden light that made the undead collapse at the touch, was in the dense forest of the dark night with those who gathered as if they smelled a fishy smell. The undead were fighting together.
