A dull voice came from behind me. I tilted my head slightly and found that the person behind me was...
God-killing human face.
"Hey, why don't you continue to pretend to be dead?"
"Pretending to be dead is one kind of strategy, not pretending to be dead is also another kind of strategy." The God-Slaying Man-faced Old God said on the ground, "Now, I choose not to pretend to be dead."
"Keep pretending that all the sand on your body will be blown away." I sighed.
"Why are you doing this?" Sophia stared at me closely.
"I'm sorry...but I have no choice." The wolf claws condensed by magic power trembled slightly, and I looked to the other side.
Phoenix's face has been wrapped with the aura of gray death. Although his body still has a strong and dazzling glow, in fact, the inside is probably completely decayed.
Now he is just a shell supported by strength.
"...I admit, you did a good job." Phoenix's face was a little distorted. He looked at us coldly and said, "So...you all have to die!"
Do you want to drag others down when you are about to die?
"But doing this will only consume my body. I can replace this kind of thing at will if I want."
A suffocating explosion sounded from my ears, and with Kuanglan suddenly hanging up, Phoenix had arrived in front of me...
but.
"Do you think the reason why I use the Yiru Law is just to kill..."
The God-Slaying Human-Faced Statue behind me blocked Phoenix's attack, and I backed away slightly to give up my position.
"From the very beginning, my purpose was simply to give meaning to death."
Only when the person who is about to die is confirmed can Kellas intervene.
"Lost souls don't want to leave, so they need someone to guide them, or... violently drag them down to hell." I said this with a smile, and then a familiar figure jumped out of the jungle next to me, leading me to hell. With unparalleled power, he rushed towards Phoenix, who was fighting the God-Slaying Human Face.
Ouch-woof!
The figure in black armor collided with the shining figure in mid-air, and the attention of the brave team members was also attracted.
Except Sophia.
Her clear eyes were still staring at me.
"You are, a traitor."
coming.
We still have to face this moment after all.
Although I had expected to be questioned from the very beginning when I made my choice, I didn't expect that it would come so early.
In the past, I could use the ideological stamp to deceive myself, but now that I know the content of the ideological stamp, I have to face these puzzles.
"I love peace."
A trace of black light flashed on the fictional wolf claws, and the characteristics of the black blade of disaster have been added to the claw blades.
"If you are peace-loving, you should know more about what killing the Demon King means to mankind." She looked at me gently but firmly, "The Demon King... is the disaster of the world and needs to be eliminated. The Demon King does not exist. If so, humans can completely drive out the demons.”
"This is just human peace, or selfish peace." I sighed and said, "Although I am probably not qualified to say this, I still hope to strive for a possibility."
The first thing to achieve peace is... there has to be someone who wants this true peace. A peace reached on the premise of exterminating the other side will only be stained with indelible black blood.
Maybe it's because I don't belong to this world, so I'm so sensitive to these things.
Or naive.
"Then there is no other way." The demonic flames of hell ignited from behind her, which was the aftermath of Kyle Rath's battle with Phoenix, and as an assistant, the God-Slaying Human Face also chased after her.
It was just me and her.
"Then...a duel in the imperial city?" I tilted my head and looked at her.
But she shook her head at this time.
"Since you are stubborn, there is nothing you can do about it." She took a step forward, "Your biggest support is that girl, right... or should I say Cerberus?"
Something is wrong.
"How did you know?" Some cold sweat broke out on her forehead unconsciously, and at some point an inexplicable aura appeared on her body.
"Cerberus, unless it encounters someone who must die, it cannot take action. In other words, what the God-Slaying Human Face is doing now is just harvesting other people." Her knuckles holding the sword turned white, as if because of Very hard reasons.
"Are you ready to leave your partner behind?"
There were words in her mouth that disturbed her thoughts, and I backed away.
Her confidence put a lot of pressure on me, and the words that came out of her mouth surprised me very much.
These things are meant to be unknown.
"...Sacrifice is unavoidable." Her eyes were clear, without any impurities in them. "Despite this, you are still my robe, and I will make your death painless."
——
When I said that word, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind.
Why was Sophia's cooperation with me in the sewer so perfect? Is it just because of his superb swordsmanship? Sophia's behavior when the sewer collapsed...why was it similar to me? Is it just overflowing with compassion?
But when she said this, I suddenly understood.
"You are from the Holy See." I said.
The reason why she and I work together so perfectly is because we have practiced sword-swinging countless times in the Holy See and used the same method in cooperative battles with multiple people. The same training system created an indelible muscle memory, and he was reawakened in a sewer after leaving the Holy See for many years.
She looked at me with sad eyes.
"You are also from the Holy See. I thought you would understand that even the death of a demon king can accumulate strength for the entire human race to counterattack."
The death of a demon king can also give the demons a reason to be angry, launch more rampant attacks, and completely unavoidable hatred.
Sorry.
"Then... let's PK the Imperial City."
So much for the bad talk.
Still adhering to my creed - strike first to gain the upper hand!
There is no need to test things that can be done in seconds.
When the words fell, his body had already rushed out.
Since I come from the Holy See, I must be very familiar with the Holy See's 128th sword technique. I won't be able to take advantage in close combat at all, and it's very possible that I won't be able to do it even if we are evenly matched.
After all...she has Yuan Power to assist her.
Ultra-close range explosive impact.
This was my breakthrough.
When the red color swept across the figure in front of me, I quickly retreated with the help of the heat wave that broke out in an instant. However, the violent flames faded away...and what appeared in front of him was an unharmed Sophia.
"You may have made a mistake." She looked at me coldly without any mercy in her eyes, "Phoenix is indeed a brave man, but...his nickname is Bai Dian."
"And I am Cang Yin."
