The body of "Weird Expert" Ozzie Cranky slowly leaned on the stone bricks, his shirt soaked in blood. I'm afraid I'll never hear him say "why bother" again. Ji'zuk's death would have made the apprentices celebrate, but Kranki did help Khitarian... and he took advantage of the Law Wizard's concern for the Nameless One girl. This is not how it should be. After all, who gets to pick his enemies?
Unfortunately, the situation did not allow him to express his feelings. As soon as the time was up, Uriel immediately jumped back, just out of the range of the magic sword. "It's my turn now?" His heart may be beating faster.
The Black Knight is not someone who can be exploited easily, and the "Weird Expert" and "Tattoo" combined are not as dangerous as him. Now, the Ring of Sauron has shut down due to lack of magic power, and Uriel does not have a second sky realm magic. He tried his best. Kitarian's apparition attracts the attention of the Weird Expert so that the Padawan can attack the Tattoo, but her most critical use is to threaten the Black Knight. Compared with Ozzie Cranky's pursuit of the truth, the influence of the agents of the Starless Night and the Ringott sisters who live in the dreamland of "Confessions" on the undead lord is obviously more worthy of concern.
Ever since he used magic to help the Nameless One in the holy city of Zangwill, Uriel has never used it to deceive again. But the Glimmer Lord knows the secret. It was impossible to expect him to conceal details in front of the Black Knight. Uriel rehearsed more than a dozen times in "Spiritual Vision", and less than half of the rounds were successful. Maybe the live-action cast would have been perfect, but the apprentice couldn't figure out how he could keep Hitarian safe.
Therefore, Uriel had to find another way.
"No one else," said the Black Knight. The ice shattered beneath his feet. "Unless you acknowledge me as your lord."
Jizuk's head glared at them, and Uriel felt that he was mainly looking at him. Joining forces with the demon lord to kill the school wizard, the apprentice's behavior is tantamount to betrayal. If the news leaks out, I will become the first messenger in history to betray the tower, losing my position and even my life... Even so, it is absolutely impossible for him to surrender. "Do you want me to be your spy, Lord of the Undead?"
"If you ask me, this is where your value lies."
"Then my answer is no."
"What's the difference between the Nameless Ones and the mortals you swore to save? You can overthrow the Church of Gaia for a few brats no one wants, why can't you change the mysterious realm for Hitarian Ringot?"
Why? Aiken is Manai's son, and I promised to protect him. But when he arrived at the monastery outside Iron Claw, Uriel completely forgot that Manet was Dorothy. The only exchange between them before was one sentence. Hitarian and her sister Ruth are members of the secret society and are natives of Yotsuba. They had been with him for a long time in the dreams created by "Confessions", and they had never shown their so-called demonic nature. A pair of wandering sisters with a rough fate, the mysterious field owes them a lot. Why can't I get justice for them?
Uriel touched the parchment. "It's clear that the church is on the wrong track, but you may not be on the right track either."
"Correct?" The Black Knight looked at him quietly. It is difficult for a living person to distinguish the emotions in the eyes of the deceased. "You have no idea what is right. This is the fourth time, Uriel. My patience has its limits. What other tricks do you have left to perform?"
The air was dry and cold, and the shadow of death gradually spread. It took courage to even open your mouth to breathe. The apprentice licks the inside of his front teeth. "No trick. I am the messenger of the tower and will never betray the order. And the secret society is no better than the monastery of Gaia. Hitarian is just a little girl, but she was sent to the Silent School to die. You use her Used as bait to plot the Bible of Antholos. Do you deny this?"
The demon lord didn't answer. Uriel's Scroll of Oath can tell whether the answer is true or false, so of course he will not respond directly. If it were Lord Shimmer or Lord Mercury, they would have 10,000 reasons to refute. After all, it is not difficult to coax a young girl. In just a few sentences, Hitarian will go from clueless bait to willing fool. But they are not here, and the undead lord is not going to win people's hearts at all. Such questioning would only irritate him.
He expected so. "Then, the facts are obvious." Uriel continued, "Fortunately, I did not expect the treatment of the Devil's Association. Maybe I will die here soon, sir, but that is better than being used by you and foolishly seeking mysteries. The realm brings destruction and death. After all, why do you think you can represent the nameless people group? Lord Quicksilver’s atrocities in the Six-Finger Castle were to vent his hatred, and Lord Shimmer’s search for companions was to treat little girls like Shitarian as Nightingale, and you, the Black Knight, you hunted down Lady Mabel, promoted the White Night War, and threatened others with their relatives and friends to risk their lives, all in order to find the Bible."
The scroll of oath unfolded from his fingers, and the black knight's palm remained on the hilt of the sword. "You understand nothing, Uriel, that the Bible means a great deal. The occult realms also pursue them."
"Maybe. The wizard believes that the Bible records the secrets of the gods, but can it also help the nameless people regain their rights? The mysterious realm will not obey the oracles. In my opinion, it is also not a good idea to act to destroy the plan of the mysterious fulcrum Reason. Violence can save no one, and I have my own opinion on that." Uriel captured the Cathedral of Antrolos, but not essentially to destroy it. "You use fear to declare your resistance, and hurt the weak as if you are recovering. This is what the mysterious realm did to you back then! I can't tell which of you is more egregious."
He tried to speak clearly. The words echoed among the ice and the ruins of the church, and if Gaia paid close attention, she could hear them clearly. Will my words impress the gods? Or can they just pray for me? Thoughts of offense can't deflect the tension. Uriel waited in agony, but the expected ending did not come. He decided to add fuel to the fire.
"Tell you, I know the purpose of your trip, Black Knight. You will never get the Bible. But even if I can't keep the parchment, you can't snatch the "Confessions" from the hands of the White Envoy... Unless you get the Bible... I become your kind, otherwise even the Scroll of Oath will not belong to you. You can take my life first, but I swear that I will be a more qualified dead person than you."
Even the undead must be angered by these words. The judgment finally comes. "Indeed." The Black Knight said gloomily, "Death is too cheap for you. It seems that I should leave you alive, and the world will be more wonderful because of it. Croita's messenger conspired with the devil to attack the Antoros Cathedral. This is big news in the occult realm. The longer you live, the happier the reporters will be.”
The Black Knight came for the Bible and was not part of Uriel's plan. It's just that the Glimmer Lord Anlini provided them with information before, and also tacitly agreed to send away the Nameless One who was rescued from the Demon Hunter's prison. In any case, such behavior will not be tolerated in the occult realm. The undead lord put away his sword, but granted him slow death.
"I've been mentally prepared for this, devil." Actually, it's not even close.
The undead looked at him mockingly. "In front of Gaia, you may have the courage to boast. But in the dead of night, when you are about to face the 'just trial', you will change your mind. At that time, I will come to listen to your confession, and then watch you and you The persistence burns in flames. There is no fifth chance, Uriel. Gaia will not take you to heaven. Have you forgotten? His sanctuary on earth has been destroyed by you long ago."
The shadow of death gradually dissipated, but the sky did not become brighter. Midnight came with the sound of bells. Don't think about it, Uriel said to himself. He dared not admit that he was completely fearless, but this seemed to be the only way to escape from the Black Knight. This was a mistake I made, and I had to make up for it myself. Celine Kalemu and Iconi died for the honor of Gaia they upheld, and he could do the same. In the final analysis, the tower messenger Uriel is just a lucky man who has the trust of the prophet. Without Gaia and his sanctuary, he would not survive the day he enters the other world.
… If He asked me to give my life, I would not say no. "This is my oath." Uriel drew out the rune sword, which maintained a constant glow in the darkness. The Book of Oaths still recognized me, he realized, and doubt and fear could never sway it. "What about you?" he asked.
The black knight responded with a sharp sword blow.
The sharp blade brushed into a white curtain, easily cutting off the runes. It is also a weapon that changes in the Bible. The pale sword seems to be much sharper than the golden sword, and it is completely useless to resist. During the first encounter in the future dream, Uriel was unexpectedly cut off from his right shoulder and one ear. He recalled the sensation of nerve-shivering sensations as the cold-filled tips cut through muscle and bone. The second time he remembered to dodge every sword strike from the Black Knight.

But avoiding the face isn't always easy. The force was so heavy that the apprentice groaned and almost couldn't move. Fortunately, his mind can still tame mystery. Uriel leaned back, grabbed the Black Knight's arm before he could retract it with his backhand, and pulled him towards him. The broken golden sword turned into a dagger and pierced the opponent's throat.
The demon lord lowered his head silently, letting the tip of the knife scrape across his visor, causing sparks and a harsh screeching sound. The rune sword was equally sharp, almost cutting the steel in half, but the undead didn't even shed a drop of blood. Dark flames burned in his eyes, and his gaze seemed still. He struck the apprentice on the shoulder and turned back to the sword. Uriel felt a chill run through his bones and immediately slipped into his shadow. The "Bible" was bent at an incredible angle and flashed past the apprentice's original spine.
This is a three-part sword, Uriel understood. No wonder he died inexplicably many times and had to duck to continue. This time he followed the instructions and saved his life. Unfortunately the answer seems to be of no use.
But Uriel knew very well that the Black Knight did not really regard him as an opponent. Most of the time, they clashed with weapons like mortals, punching and kicking each other. For the mysterious creatures, it was really difficult to cause damage in this way. But this is what the apprentice wants. It is better to die slowly than to die on the spot. You must live, Uriel said to himself, the fate of countless people is still waiting for you to change...
