Chapter 215 Retreat
"Look, the peacock is spreading its feathers. It's the scene of a certain demon king going crazy." Balzi was enjoying watching the fun.
"Your boss is going crazy, why don't you try to stop him?" Lu Yi stared at the two people who were fighting.
Arthur, with the magic sword in his hand, was unstoppable. Fortunately, Paso was no pushover either, and the two of them fought back and forth and were evenly matched.
But Lu Yi really couldn't be optimistic. Demon King, Demon King, the demons in the abyss were not best at rigid sword techniques, but at bloodthirsty killing spells that could take people's lives.
And Arthur has not used magic yet.
Two men, two swords, engaged in the purest close combat. Rather than taking the other's life, this fight was more like a battle between males for priority, a battle with dignity at stake.
"I stop him?" Barzi raised his eyebrows and said, "He looks like he's ready to show off. I'm afraid I'll beat him up too."
"And why should I stop..."
Barzi smiled ambiguously, "Of course it depends on whose ex-lover it is, who will stop it!"
Seeing that Paso was showing signs of defeat, Lu Yi frowned and suddenly shouted, "Arthur!"
Even though the battle was going on, Arthur still looked up at Rant in the midst of his busy schedule.
His red hair was not wet by the rain and was still fluttering in the wind. Arthur gave Rant a flamboyant smile, as if he didn't care about the scene in front of him at all. He even whistled.
"Don't worry, Rant, I'll make it quick!"
The next second, Arthur turned his head and a shallow bloodstain appeared on his cheek.
Paso looked at him coldly, and without saying a word, he attacked with his sword again.
Each of his swords carried a clear murderous intent.
Arthur was indeed enraged by him and completely lost interest in capturing him alive, so he became even more ruthless.
The swords collided! The scattered magic power intertwined——
Ding! Ding! Ding!
The man and the demon moved faster and faster, and the sounds of breaking through the air came one after another. Only the afterimages of their swords remained in the air, and no moves could be seen clearly.
The clash between the two top fighters from the Isaiah continent, even without mobilizing elemental forces, caused strange phenomena in heaven and earth, and thunder and rain.
The fine rain turned into mist, vaguely covering them.
The water marks blurred the condensed bloodstains, and the air was mixed with the fragrance of grass and soil brought from afar by the rain. At the same time, the fishy smell of blood on the ground became more rampant, and the fragrance and the fishy smell mixed together, making people feel nauseous.
The surrounding demons and orcs had already quickly hidden aside when the fight between the man and the demon started. Even the magical beasts, which had little intelligence, retreated urgently driven by the desire to survive.
The fight between the Demon King and the Beast King was far from something they could watch at will. A casual release of sword energy was enough to scare them to death. Even if he had eight heads, it would only take a few seconds.
Across the rain, Lu Yi shouted: "Our goal is the burial ground, don't waste time!"
As a result, his shout did not make Arthur pause, but instead caused Paso's breathing to stagnate, and Arthur cut off a small piece of his long hair.
If Paso had not reacted in time, the sword would have cut off not his hair but his head!
Lu Yi gritted his teeth and was about to go down to stop Arthur, but as soon as he took a step with his left foot, he was grabbed by his robe by Balzi beside him.
"Your Highness, if the Demon King goes mad, are you also mad? The sword has no eyes. Although you may not be happy with what I said, with someone like you, even ten of you would not be enough to kill someone by mistake."
Lu Yi opened his hand and said mercilessly: "You still say that when you know I will be unhappy?"
Balz looked at him in astonishment, and his distraction allowed Lant to break free from his hand and jump into the melee.
Seeing Lant intervene, both the man and the demon paused to varying degrees, but what was the same was that they both subconsciously withdrew their hands.
Paso yelled, "What do you mean?!"
Arthur raised his eyebrows: "Hey, you're not here to help me, are you?"
Lu Yi ignored what the two said and went straight forward to grab Arthur's hand holding the sword, "Are you sick? What are you crazy about? I said, don't waste time here! You'd better remember our mission!"
"If you hadn't interrupted me again and again, I would have carried the head of this arrogant orc to accompany you on the mission..."
As Lant increased the strength of his hands, Arthur's momentum became weaker and weaker, and his voice became smaller and smaller.
He was stared at by a pair of eyes as bright as the sun, moon and stars, and the familiar feeling of a breath being blocked in his chest came over him again.
But between breaths, Arthur sighed in resignation and threw away the Demon King's sword.
"Well!" sighed Arthur.
The Demon King's sword floated against gravity, then turned into a point of light and dissipated directly into the air.
Arthur held Rant's hand with his backhand as if nothing had happened - even though the strength of Rant's hand seemed to crush his hand bones, he still had a bright smile on his face.
But this smile was too dazzling to Paso's eyes. He clenched his fists silently, and blood dripped from his palms.
"Have you asked me where you want to go?"
Arthur glanced at him, pretending he heard nothing, and followed Rant, bubbling with joy.
He was in a good mood at the moment and didn't mind the dying man getting angry.
"Wait, come back after you finish your work..."
"Can you please say less?" Lu Yi interrupted, "There's no one to talk to in the Abyss, so you can talk as much as you want when you come to Isaiah Continent, right?"
Arthur was scolded so much that he dared not say a word. He glared at Paso and then gave Rant a flattering smile.
"It's my fault, it's my fault. Come on, let's get down to business now!"
They wanted to end the confrontation, but Paso refused.
Paso held the sword upright in front of Arthur, swallowed the blood that flowed from his mouth, and said in a hoarse voice: "Do you think I am dead?"
The hilt of his sword was still stained with his own blood.
Lu Yi watched Paso appear again and again, as if he didn't care about life and death, and he became numb.
He really couldn't beat Arthur, and he really couldn't handle Mios.
He's so difficult, really.
[“…I can’t take him with me. I can’t take him with me at all! How can I stop him if he wants to die so badly?!”] Lu Yi said angrily.
857 also sighed, [Paso is just like that... It's hard to deal with! Why don't you just knock him out? At least you can still save one! ]
[“What you said makes sense…”]
Maybe he shouldn't consider Paso's feelings too much. What else can he feel if he's already dead?! Lu Yi seriously considered the feasibility of knocking Paso out and taking him away.
"What are you holding Lant for? You damn demon! Let Lant go!"
A familiar voice suddenly exploded, instantly breaking the tense atmosphere.
Lu Yi turned his head to look at the person who came, and said in surprise: "Wavelin? Why are you here!"
Waverin, dressed in the black armor of a knight of judgment, emerged from the forest. His serious eyes softened when they met Lant's.
"No, it's the support from the Holy See!" Lu Yi immediately reacted when he saw the people from the Holy See following closely behind him.
——Leading the group were three cardinals: Gunn, Good and Kale, with Bishop Jacob and Captain Warren of the Black Knights of Judgment beside them.
I don’t know if this was intentional, but the leaders of this Vatican team were all old acquaintances of Rant.
"Another one?" Arthur narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Waverin who was speaking.
"Isn't this a bit too weak? Can you appreciate something like this?"
If it was with Paso, he could still fight for a few rounds with interest, but Arthur was too lazy to give even a little energy to this guy called Waverin by Rant.
Facing such an unqualified opponent, showing the Demon King's Sword would be an insult to it. Arthur thought with disdain that only those old guys behind him could withstand a few of his attacks.
What on earth did Rand see in him?
Lu Yi pried Arthur's hands apart and whispered, "Are you still in the mood to think about these things? I told you to delay, and now you can't leave even if you want to!"
Arthur was still stubborn, "Just a few humans——"
These "just a few humans" had no intention of communicating at all, and they just started to use a few light spells to attack us closely.
The power of light attacks from all directions, striving to be 360 degrees in all directions without any blind spots.
The common characteristic of the abyss demons is that they are restrained by the power of light. At the same level, the power of light has an overwhelming advantage.
Even though the Red Elder and the Abyss Demon King are not of the same rank, the elemental restraint plus the difference in numbers are enough to barely defeat Demon King Arthur.
Arthur obviously realized that the situation was beginning to get out of his control, and his expression suddenly turned cold.
His pupils shrank into a thin line, and he warned the cardinals in the lead: "If you leave now, you can still save your life..."
The cardinals ignored his warnings, their hands continued to glow, and they cast endless light spells.
This overwhelming attack momentum made Arthur quite embarrassed, and the dissipated power of light also caused the surrounding Warcraft and demons to flee in panic.
The orcs finally got a moment of respite - even though there were only a few orcs still standing.
After a long battle, Paso was pulled aside by the Vatican people and given the light healing spell.
The bright light continued to shine, but Arthur became more and more adept at dealing with it.
He even had time to think that these so-called archbishops were nothing special, but then a long hole was torn in the wide cloak behind Arthur.
Arthur was immediately furious. "You are sick! This is my favorite cloak!"
"Damn it, all of you should be buried with me!!"
He faced the dazzling light, narrowed his eyes, made his ten fingers into eagle claws, with hot black magic boiling in his palms, and fearlessly leaped towards the three cardinals standing side by side.
But accidents always happen suddenly.
As if the pause button had been pressed, Arthur's agile figure froze in mid-air, and he looked extremely funny, neither moving up nor down.
His magic power was also forcibly controlled. The magic power in his palm was extinguished, and the rain also soaked into his hair, immediately making Arthur's hair wet and stick to both sides of his cheeks.
"You damned humans--" Arthur's chest heaved violently, and he was obviously really angry.
The hidden light array finally emitted a belated light, and the serious expressions of the bishops eased a little.
Giant magic arrays of light appeared one by one under their feet and behind them, circular scriptures flowed layer by layer, the power of light spread exponentially, music of praise sounded from the sky, and the heavy rain gradually eased.
Lu Yi was also trapped by this light magic circle, with his feet fixed in place and unable to move, and he could no longer mobilize the magic power in his body.
He had a bad expression on his face, but he was secretly happy in his heart.
When did the Holy See become so powerful? This is just in time!
Lu Yi originally thought that with Callisto around, the Church would not care about the lives of the orcs. But now it seems that the Pope's control over the Church has not yet reached 100%.
Bishop Kalai walked up to Lant and stepped into the huge magic circle. He said with a complicated expression, "This is a special magic circle targeting dark creatures. Believers of light will not be controlled by this magic circle."
A special array for dark creatures? He had his light power stripped off by Mios, so this array would be a perfect match for Lant right now! Lu Yi muttered inwardly.
"Lant, long time no see."
"Long time no see, Bishop Kalai."
"When I left the Holy See, I had imagined what I would say to you when I saw you." Kale stared at him and said, "But after seeing you in person, I changed my mind. Let's talk about everything after we return to the Holy See. Knight Waverin, I'm in trouble."
Even if Lant really went astray, he was still the Son of Light recognized by the Holy See, and there was nothing that couldn't be discussed and resolved behind closed doors. It was not the place for outsiders to criticize the people of the Holy See.
Wavelin nodded slightly at Kale, took two steps forward, and magic power emerged from his palms. Lu Yi could see that it seemed to be a sleeping spell.
"Rant, I'm sorry..."
His eyes were apologetic, but his steps were firm.
Lu Yi watched helplessly as the bright magic power flew towards him, and then was blocked by the dark magic power and swallowed up.
Everything happens in just a moment.
Then Balzi came walking in the air, his eyes as dead as still water swept over everyone indifferently.
"You..." Several cardinals immediately sounded alarm bells.
Balz stretched out his hand and brought the stiff Arthur and Rant to him.
"What kind of crazy are they? As expected, I have to clean up the mess in the end." Barzi muttered, "It seems that there is no chance today..."
Without waiting for the people of the Vatican to take any action, Barz directly fled back to the gap with one man and one demon.
At the critical moment, Wavelin actually grabbed the corner of Rant's clothes, and they were swallowed by the dark gap together!
Bishop Kalai's face suddenly changed, and he shouted in shock: "Knight Wavelin——"
The dark gap was bottomless and calm as if nothing had happened.
It was just that a bold human followed the demons into the gap.
"He's crazy. That's the gap that connects to the abyss..." someone gasped in a low voice.
How on earth dared he do that?
With the extremely special exception of Rand, no one has ever returned alive from the Breach.
Not one!
Bishop Kalai turned around abruptly and shouted, "The intelligence is wrong. There are not just one Demon King-level invaders at the gap, but two!"
The author has something to say:
Arthur (sullen face): How many good brothers do you have?
Am I very thick and long today (super loud)!
