Today, Gus had a dark face and a gloomy mood, carrying his dragon-slaying sword and walking silently on the path in the wilderness. He looked very angry and remorseful.
"..."
In fact, he was like this not just today, but also yesterday, yesterday, and the day before yesterday. He showed that stinking face to everyone, as if everyone owed him millions of gold coins.
"Uh huh huh~"
()
In comparison, Annie's face looked much better.
She was just mindlessly jumping around behind and humming some unknown song, picking wild flowers on the roadside from time to time, chasing beautiful butterflies from time to time, or looking at the kind of butterflies that haunt the wilderness in the distance. The fat rabbit in the room was drooling, not caring at all what the mood of Gus in front was.
And now that Gus has embarked on the journey again, there is no doubt that the Earl's territory has basically come to an end after the Earl was killed by Gus.
Then, in view of the fact that the earl was willing to degenerate and collude with the devil and kill innocent people indiscriminately, and that the earl's daughter Dilicia was still too young to inherit the title and manage the territory, the King's Palace happily sent a large number of knights and soldiers to the front. Come and leave the old priest in charge.
By now, the army of the French King's Hall must be in charge of that city, and is commanded by the old priest and his daughter Crete to hunt down the minions of the previous count and those who were members of the Heresy Trial Committee, and work hard to maintain New rank?
Gus did not pay much attention to the fact that the old priest was actually a senior official of the French King's Hall and whether the French King's Hall wanted to overstep his authority and invade the territory of the earl's orphan.
He only stayed in that city for more than ten days, and then found that the Behelite did not open the interdimensional channel again and summoned the five damn hands of God, so he had to talk to the old priest and Ke The two of them said goodbye and resumed their journey to find the devils, those apostles of the Hand of God.
Yes!
Gus is determined!
Since he couldn't use the Behelite and summon his big enemies, he would wander around the world to kill the demons transformed by the Behelite, which were the apostles lurking in the world. Find them all and kill them all!
He didn't believe it. Those guys who claimed to be gods would watch him do that, watch him destroy those apostles or demons and remain indifferent?
He firmly believes that as long as he kills a certain number of people, those guys will definitely be more anxious than him and will definitely come out to find him!
"..."
After thinking about it, Gus suddenly turned left and entered a forest from the path.
"!!"
!(;o)o
When Annie was staring at a gray rabbit with red eyes in the distance and thinking about whether to eat the rabbit meat, she unexpectedly turned her head and saw the boring gourd Gus turning directly along the path. After arriving in a forest and seeing it disappear, she had to give up her plan to eat rabbits at night and hurried after him.
"Hello!"
(﹏、)
"Uncle blame!"
(＿＿*)
"You wait!"
=(*)
"..."
Unfortunately, no matter how Annie shouted, Gus had no intention of stopping or slowing down.
He just continued to walk towards the dense forest step by step with a dark face, so Annie had to flash out and intercept him in anger.
"Are you still angry?"
(.)
"Didn't I say that?"
(ˇεˇ)
"Your current strength is too weak, and you will definitely not be able to defeat them. You hit them by mistake that day, otherwise, I'm afraid they would all be dead by now!"
s(｀ヘ;)ゞ
Looking at the other party's dark face, seeing that the other party still had the same expression after more than ten days, Anne had no choice but to sigh and began to persuade again with some discomfort.
From Annie's point of view, there were five of those God's Hands. Each one was more powerful than the other, and each one had different abilities. And at that time, the opponent was at a disadvantage. If all five of them attacked together, I'm afraid there would be no chance to fight again. You put on such a black face!
Of course, although those hands of God look very powerful, they are definitely not as powerful as Queen Anne, who is all-powerful. After all, the distance may be several universes away?
"..."
Gus didn't speak, but suddenly raised his head, and then looked past Annie in front toward the deep forest.
"??"
く(＾_)ゝ
"what?!"
(゜-゜)
Annie was a little confused, and then of course she followed the other person's gaze and glanced behind her.
"It smells like blood!"
Suddenly, to Anne's surprise, Gus did not exchange cold words and argue with her as she had imagined, but instead frowned and said something like this in a low voice.
"??"
∑(△｀)? !
"Blood, the smell of blood?"
(*–-)
At first she was a little surprised, and then Annie couldn't help but wrinkle her nose slightly and sniffed the air in the deep forest that was full of grass and decaying leaves.
"Alas!"
Σ(дllll)
"It really smells like blood. Is your nose a dog's?"
(=^▽^=)
Then, Annie also smelled it and cast a surprised and appreciative look at Gus.
"..."
Gus did not explain or make any refutation of Annie's teasing words. He just pondered for a while and stared at the dark forest ahead, and then walked forward resolutely.
"!!"
!(;o)o
"Hello!"
(“▔□▔)
"Wait a minute!"
⊙﹏⊙‖∣°
"Isn't it just the smell of dead people and blood? What's there to see? Can't we just go from the other side?"
o(*｀ー)o
Anne knew that the world was in that chaotic era, with robbers, gangsters, rebels, wars, etc. everywhere, so dead people and corpses were not so strange.
Just like the village they passed yesterday that had been massacred by some bandits or gangsters, the village was full of dead people and broken walls. Therefore, she was concerned about some bloody scenes that might occur ahead. I don't really want to join in the fun.
"hateful!"
(へ╬)
However, Gus had no intention of stopping or changing the route, nor did he think of discussing it with Anne. He continued to move forward stubbornly and stubbornly, as if Anne did not exist.
"All right!"
ε=(ο｀*)))Alas
"Then let's see!"
┗( 0﹏0 )┛
Since the other party is not afraid of trouble, Anne certainly has nothing to be afraid of. After all, she really has nothing else to worry about except that it will affect her appetite.
…
Soon, Gus and Annie arrived at the place where the smell of blood was coming from, and successfully saw a group of weird people wearing hoods and holding wooden sticks in front of a huge twisted ancient tree. Their number was at least There are dozens of them!
At the same time, the smell of blood was emanating from in front of that big tree. In addition to the strong smell of blood, there was also some kind of twisted and crazy resentment and spiritual power?
"..."
After taking a look, I found that those guys seemed to be performing some kind of weird ritual. Gus originally wanted to leave.
"!!"
"that is……"
However, when he saw through the gap between the crowds, he saw a naked woman's body lying under the roots of the ancient tree they were surrounding, and her intestines had been taken out by those people and they were surrounding the big tree and nailing it to the tree trunk with wooden nails. After getting on, he finally couldn't help but exclaimed and made a noise, which successfully made those guys who were having some consciousness look back.
"ah!"
('')
"Are they cannibals?"
(△;)
Of course, Anne also saw those people and the poor Chiguo woman who was surrounded by those people, who was lying inward at the root of the tree and was completely dead. Then she couldn't help but exclaimed and moved toward the grid. Uncle Si asked.
"..."
Gus didn't answer, but looked indifferently at the guys who smiled strangely and came towards him and Annie with no good intentions after hearing the noise.
"Where did these two people escape?"
"never seen it."
"Hmm, I don't know. It doesn't look like it's from around here."
"hey-hey……"
"It's just right!"
"The forest elves don't seem to be satisfied with the sacrifice tonight, so let's use the two of them instead!"
"good!"
After whispering a few words to each other, those people soon came to a unified opinion. Then they grinned cruelly and took out a handful of different weapons, directly surrounding Gus and Annie.
"Tsk!"
Looking at the bruised and naked female body lying under the big tree in front of him, and then looking at the guys surrounding him and blocking his way back, Gus sneered indifferently before reaching out. He asked, pointing to the corpse in front of him with his intestines removed.
"Did you kill her?"
"besides……"
"What do you want to do?"
Obviously, these guys in front of me are cultists of a certain cult, and these guys are everywhere like rats in this chaotic world. There is nothing surprising about that. In addition, these guys are not my own. Target, so Gus didn't want to talk to him at first, but now that the other party was surrounding him and had bad intentions, of course he didn't mind asking.
"People know it!"
|ω`)
"It looks like some kind of foolish spiritual ritual?"
(ˇˇ)
"Um……"
(ー`ー)
"It seems that these bad guys should have first caused pain and fear to the big sister, and then took out her intestines, wrapped them around and nailed them to the tree, so that her pain and fear could interact with the almost semi-demonized tree. After the connection... it usually takes a while for the big sister to die slowly, but before that, the continuous intense pain in the body, the extreme fear of death, and the twisted soul will produce some kind of resonance effect similar to magic? "
(^～^;)ゞ
"That's probably it!"
(lll￢▽￢)
At this time, before the evil villains surrounding the two of them could speak, they were already staring at the tragically dead eldest sister and the head that was densely covered with wooden nails and had twists and bumps like a human face. After looking at the strange tree for a while, Annie quickly concluded like this.
In any case, she, Queen Anne, is the kind of most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most is the most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most most, most, most, most most, most, most most, most, most, most most, most, most, most most, most, most most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most with the endless planes of the universe. most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most She is the most powerful arcane mage, and the purpose and effect of this foolish and cruel ritual in front of her cannot be hidden from her eyes.
"!!"
"Sacrifice, sacrifice?"
After listening to Annie's words, Gus was startled at first. Then, after grasping the key word 'sacrifice', he felt as if he had been beaten to death. His only remaining eye instantly turned red, and then his face turned ferocious. Breathing heavily, he stared at the group of heretics and shouted.
"explain!"
"Is that so?!"
You know, after experiencing something, Gus has become a little neurotic, and he is particularly disgusted and sensitive to things like 'sacrifice'. Almost as soon as he hears that word or sees something similar, he becomes a little nervous. There is a tendency to go berserk and want to kill people!
It's okay now. He originally didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but he found that these guys in front of him bumped into his sword blade?
"??"
"hateful!"
"Boy, don't be confused about the form. So what if it is, and what if it isn't?"
"You will soon be like her!"
"I wish your intestines could be longer?"
"Jie!"
"Shut up!"
"Stop talking nonsense to him!"
"Just right!"
"The great forest elves need more sacrifices, hurry up, capture them and sacrifice them, don't let the forest elves wait too long!"
"That's right!"
"Hey!"
"Especially that little girl..."
"She knows quite a lot. She looks well-behaved and smart. She must be the kind of child from a wealthy family, maybe a noble. If you take out her intestines, the effect of the sacrifice will be better!"
"That's it!"
"Catch the ones alive, don't beat them all to death!!"
The group of people continued to laugh and taunt Gus a few words, and then made a fuss for a while. Then they all took out their own fishing nets, hooks, nooses and other professional catching tools.
It can be seen from this that they seem to be a group of experienced villains. They even have a complete set of tools. They must have arrested many people with similar methods.
Unfortunately……
Today they seemed to have provoked someone they shouldn't have provoked.
Because, let alone Annie, just Gus, the murderous guy, is obviously not someone they can mess with who only bullies ordinary people and plays the evil god sacrifice.
So...
"!!"
"Yeah……"
"I see."
After listening to Annie's description and the fact that the guys didn't ask for it, after figuring out the cause of the matter and basically understanding the other party's purpose, Gus didn't hesitate and directly reached out and took hold of the gun he was carrying. The hilt of the dragon-slaying great sword.
Buzz! ! !
Then, before those people could use those ridiculous fishing nets to cover him, he suddenly took out the big sword from behind and swung it towards the group of people who were grinning just now, but now they all became panicked. Among the crowd of bewildered cultists.
"go to hell!!!"
Whirlwind! ! !
The next second, the dragon-slaying sword weighing several hundred kilograms stirred up like a whirlwind among the cultists who were caught off guard.
"ah!!"
!? ('')
Seeing this, Annie was so frightened that she quickly dodge away from the center of the storm that was rolled up by Gus's sword.
Of course, she was not afraid of being accidentally injured by the opponent, but she was afraid of being splashed by the dirty blood that burst out when the opponent cut and chopped the bodies of the bad guys.
"..."
Fortunately, in less than half a minute, Gus stopped and stood right where the last cultist had stood with his bloody and terrifying sword lying sideways.
At this time, dozens of cultists who had just wanted to catch the two people and take out their intestines and perform some kind of ritual around the tree all fell to the ground, and most of them were in the shape of being blocked. The tragic end of Si's big sword being cut into two pieces or smashed into several twisted pieces of flesh with one strike!
What’s more…
Some of the more unlucky ones did not die immediately when they were cut in half. They were still lying on the ground in a pool of blood, squirming and howling miserably.
"..."
But Gus didn't pay attention to them, and he had no intention of finishing the attack. He just flicked the blood and some human organ fragments on the big sword, then thought about it, and headed straight not far away. Walk towards the big tree.
"??"
(.)
"what are you up to?"
(ω‖)
Annie asked in surprise when she saw Gus pulling out the wooden nail and trying to gather the intestines that were wrapped around the strange tree back into the belly of the female corpse.
"Of course resurrecting her..."
"Isn't that what you want to see?"
"The more often I use that thing called Holy Light, the more satisfied you will be, right?"
Rarely, Gus actually explained the reason why he did what he did, and at the same time, he taunted Annie and asked rhetorically without looking back, without any concealment of his purpose of saving people.
"Um……"
(~)
"People advise you that it's better not to do that!"
(O ^~^ O)
After staring at the other party's movements and struggling for a while, Annie suddenly stopped her and shook her head firmly.
"..."
There was a slight pause, and then Gus didn't speak. He just turned around slowly and looked at Annie coldly with his one eye, as if to signal Annie to finish speaking.
"Let's put it that way!"
()
"She is different from the old priest and sister Clete who were saved by you!"
()
"Her soul has already been tortured and twisted by the resonance of magic, pain and fear in that ritual. Even if you use the Holy Light to resurrect her, what you will get is just a madman. The Holy Light cannot save her. her!"
(o゜▽゜)o
"The soul is a more complex subject. To a certain extent, it has touched the realm of the Creator. It cannot be easily controlled by ordinary archliches and archmages, let alone you, a paladin who has been transferred from a warrior. !”
╮(╯▽╰)╭
"Holy light is not omnipotent!"
(．＾▽＾)
With slumped shoulders, although it was a bit cruel, Anne still told the fact ruthlessly.
"It's better to purify them all and let her and everything here return to nature!"
(＾－＾)
"That might be what's best for her?"
_)ノ
Although Anne could do it, she didn't want to interfere in that kind of thing.
First of all, she is not familiar with that unlucky big sister!
Furthermore, if she could easily interfere and reshape souls with such power, might it have a profound impact on some of the rules of this world?
It was like a program that was originally running well and she was forced to insert or modify a certain patch. It might cause big troubles and bugs, and it was difficult for her to predict what series of serious consequences would happen in the end. !
"Purification?"
After listening, Gus thought for a moment, and then a trace of confusion appeared on his face.
"!!"
"You are really lying to me!!!"
But then, he didn't know what he suddenly thought of, or which muscle he had cramped, but he suddenly waved the dragon-slaying sword and pointed it towards Annie and roared loudly and angrily.
"??"
!!!∑(Дノ)ノ
"Are you crazy?"
(へ╬)
"What did they lie to you about?"
(｀ω*)
Seeing that the other party was suddenly preparing to attack her, Anne was startled a little, but of course she couldn't help but glared back angrily and asked a question.
"Still want to quibble?"
"you!!"
"You told me before!"
"The Holy Light can save Casca, right?"
"But now!"
"You also said that the Holy Light cannot save a madman, so what if you weren't lying to me?"
"You are indeed an evil devil!!!"
While continuing to point the weapon at Annie, the aggrieved Gus unexpectedly responded with a rare and reasonable reply and retorted plausibly.
"!!"
!(;o)o
Anne was surprised at first when she heard what was going on, but soon, after knowing what the other person's brain circuit was like, she retorted loudly without concealing her anger:
"That Casca of yours has a brain problem. Of course it can be cured!"
o(*｀ー)o
"And this eldest sister was tortured so much that her soul was twisted. She has a big problem with her soul. Those are two completely different concepts, okay?"
(;｀O)o
"You stupid!"
(｀^)
"idiot!"
(｀)/
"slacker student!!"
(｀⊿)
"I don't understand but I still act nonsense. I'm really mad at others!!!"
(`^)
In this way, while Anne explained angrily, she also did not forget to retort and angrily rebuke the other party, and had a faint urge to let Tibbers spank the other party hard.
(…)
(￢￢.)
(Aware of his master's thoughts, Tibbs quickly said in private: His uncle bear has no intention of spanking that male human at the moment, but if some bad little master really lets him out, he will You must not mind slapping the opponent with your paw and burning them, so as not to be upset?)
"..."
Hearing this, Gus froze as he was preparing to attack.
Then he thought about it seriously and felt that although he still didn't understand it well, after seeing Anne's reasonable and well-founded expression, he naturally felt that he was somewhat unreasonable, and his expression gradually changed. Extreme anger turned into overwhelming embarrassment.
Then, of course, a trace of resentment appeared on his stubborn face.
but……
Even though he knew he was wrong, Gus had no intention of apologizing or admitting.
He just paused and glanced at Anne who was still angry in embarrassment, then simply turned around and walked back to the woman's body and the tree that bound countless twisted souls and each wooden nail represented an innocent victim. In front of the weird tree.
"..."
Then, after a moment of silence, amid Anne's clear and melodious curses with rich vocabulary behind him, he finally slowly raised his hand with the Holy Seal, and then began to summon the Holy Light.
Although Gus knew that the little girl not far behind him, who was as scary and powerful as a demon, was scolding him in different ways, he didn't mind much.
Because, he didn't understand most of the words the other party said. This is the advantage of being a reckless man, because he hasn't read many books, he doesn't know how to read, and he doesn't know how the other party speaks in different ways to ridicule. My own allusions.
"!!"
Holy flame! !
Just like that, under Annie's indignant eyes and angry scolding, the holy flame summoned by Gus came, directly killing the dozens of cultists who had just been chopped in half by him, the unknown female corpse at his feet, and the tree in front of him. The twisted and ferocious ancient trees were enveloped in the soaring golden flames and dazzling holy light.
