Chapter 273: He Was Tempted to Kill
"You want the core fragment? I'll give it to you."
Brightman stepped forward and tried to take Anno's hand. Anno instinctively flinched, but seeing the look in Brightman's eyes, she let him take her hand.
“The core fragment is right here, you can take it.” Brightman took her hand and placed it on his chest. “Can you feel it?”
Anno sensed it; her energy had even connected to the core fragment in Brightman's chest.
At this moment, Sitar's eyes were fixed on them, and energy was already gathering in his hands.
Anno wanted to slowly guide the fragment out of Brightman's body. This core fragment was easier to remove than the one in Starfire's body because Brightman had taken it out many times before, and the fragment was wrapped in energy.
Soon, guided by her energy, the core fragment flew out of Brightman's chest and returned to her hand.
"Now that you've retrieved the core fragment, you can..."
Anuo looked up at him: "What?"
Brightman looked at her, but didn't continue speaking. Instead, he reached out and pulled her into his arms.
This was the only time he didn't ask for her consent.
Anuo was startled and tried to break free from his embrace.
Brightman tightened his grip and whispered in her ear, "I'll take you to get the Bloodstone."
But he failed to open the portal. He passed over Anno's shoulder and drove towards the space behind her.
The moment Brightman embraced Anno, Sitar drew the long sword from Mingxiao's waist and leaped toward Brightman.
Brightman pursed his lips, watching Sital's movements.
The moment Sitar's longsword fell, he released Anno and quickly drew his own sword to meet him.
Sitar spun around and delivered another heavy blow to Brightman, knocking him back several steps.
Caesar and the others quickly came to Anno's side to protect her. Anno watched Sitar and Brightman fight and wanted to stop Sitar.
They haven't obtained the Bloodstone yet, and if they kill Brightman here, Dennis will go completely mad.
Sital told her to calm down. Brightman had always wanted to fight him. Without any special abilities, she could fight him based on her own strength.
He wanted to see what kind of person Anunu would love from the moment he was born.
Since that's the case, he'll grant his wish.
Sitar fought him not just to have a simple fight, but because he had been paying attention to the consciousness Tanvel had placed in Brightman's mind, and Brightman had the idea of taking Anunu away.
It wasn't just to give her the Bloodstone, but to take her away, to take her to a place where no one could find them.
Therefore, he decided to kill him.
He will not let anyone who tries to take Anunu away and hide him go.
No one can possess Anunu and make any decisions for her against her will. She is the Queen, the future queen of the Zerg, and no one has the right to treat her like that.
Anunu has everything she desires, and only the Zerg are qualified to give her everything.
Sitar gripped his longsword, exuding a fierce aura, relentlessly pressing forward against every attack from Brightman, moving so fast that only afterimages could be seen.
Anno was surprised: "How long has Sitar been training?"
Mingxiao answered Anuo very seriously: "Prince Sitar has been personally taught by the King for 132 days so far."
Anno remained silent. Over a hundred days was almost equivalent to several years of her training.
She silently thought to herself: Sitar is a ten-thousand-year-old egg, not a chick, not a chick!
As she was repeating this in her mind, Sitar responded to her in her consciousness: "Yes, I am not a cub."
His voice carried a hint of laughter.
Anno snorted. She would have to have a good spar with Sitar when she got back.
We can't let him surpass our future Zerg Queen.
However, with Augsis's personal instruction, Sitar did not receive any further training after returning to the Zerg, instead immersing herself in learning other subjects.
Sitar's attacks were incredibly fast. He possessed the talents of the Zerg, and the various Zerg training methods were also transmitted into his consciousness network. Sitar incorporated some of these methods into his training, and he learned them extremely quickly, honing his movement techniques to the extreme.
Because he doesn't possess any offensive abilities, after neutralizing others' abilities, the only weapon he can use to attack is the knife in his hand.
His attacks showed no sign of backing down, and so did Brightman's; both men relentlessly attacked each other, their sharp blades chipping and breaking.
Some of the rocks floating around them were cut open by blades forged from special minerals.
Their knives simultaneously slashed across each other's arms. Sital's arm was covered in a hard outer armor, and Brightman's knife only left a shallow scratch on his armor, while his knife cut his arm, and bright red blood gushed out.
Brightman remained unfazed, as if the wound did not exist, and continued his attack on Sital.
Anno's heart leaped into his throat when he saw the knife fall on Sitar.
Just as the two were locked in a fierce battle, a cannonball fell from above them. Sitar immediately used energy to create a defensive shield. The cannonball was extremely powerful and exploded above their heads. Then, one cannonball after another fell, attacking them seemingly regardless of their lives.
They were all knocked to the ground by the powerful shells, which landed around them, creating large craters and shattering the asteroid beneath their feet.
Sitar withdrew his powers and returned to Anno's side. Caesar wanted to open a portal to take Anno back, but Anno immediately said, "No, let's go get the Bloodstone!"
She had just seen in Brightman's consciousness where the Bloodstone was hidden, and that the Bloodstone contained her largest core fragment.
Only with her present can the core fragment be successfully guided out.
She must retrieve all the core fragments and fill the void in the core.
She could already feel the original energy starting to leak out, and if the void wasn't filled, the energy loss would become more and more serious.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Caesar located the Bloodstone through Anno's consciousness, immediately opened a portal, and led Anno and Sitar into it.
Brightman stood amidst the flying gunfire, watching their figures disappear before his eyes.
Then, he opened the portal and returned to Dennis's side.
Dennis had been searching for Brightman relentlessly after he cut off their communication, and he was both angry and anxious about his own decision to go to Anno.
As soon as Brightman returned, he rushed forward with red eyes and grabbed his shoulders: "Where's the core fragment?!"
“That’s all,” Brightman said coldly.
"Gone?!" Dennis gripped Brightman's shoulders tightly. He took a few deep breaths, struggling to control his emotions, and asked in a low voice, "You gave it to her?"
"Um."
Dennis stared at Brightman for a long time before finally letting go of him. He sat down in his chair, rubbing his temples, and then laughed, looking at Brightman with a hint of mockery. "You gave her the core fragment, and then what? Where is she? Without the core fragment, what do you have left to control her?"
Brightman's gaze slowly shifted to his face: "You."
Dennis's smile froze: "What did you say?"
