Hans Christian Andersen lay in a pool of blood, painfully losing his life.
The angels stared in astonishment in the direction of Qitatu, unable to understand why Qitatu's soul, which had already been consumed by the Lord, could be resurrected!
Even more incomprehensible... why he could still walk this way, carrying an even more terrifying aura!
"Kill him!" Yunmeng commanded, brandishing her sword.
The other five angels flapped their wings and charged toward Qitatu!
However, the next moment was a moment of despair for them. Qitatu deflected the sword thrust by an angel with his sword, and stepped on the body of one angel to knock down another.
He was so fast that even the eyes of an angel could not predict his next move.
"Clang—" Yunmeng seized the opportunity to thrust her sword, but it was blocked and disarmed by the opponent's counterattack. Then, a smooth shield bash knocked her away!
He did all of this solely through combat skills other than magic!
[Aren't you confused? Someone was confused at first too, but you all did much better than her!]
[I wasn't talking about you, Elsie! Don't take it personally!]
[...]
Wait a minute?
Are you just watching the show? Why aren't you running away yet?
“There’s no escaping it.” Elsie watched as Qitatu fought against the angels.
No, it should be Keomi who has successfully possessed the body now.
Crimson eyes, sword and shield at the same time—it was indeed different from what other crown holders had encountered.
“I need to analyze his combat data, and there’s no better opportunity than now,” El said, crouching down and propping up his round face as he gazed at the fierce battle between the angels and zombies.
[Just so you know, your Cataclysm cooldown isn't over yet~]
"Thank you for reminding me."
...
Yunmeng lightly tapped the silver sword, and holy fire ignited on it. Just touching the monster would completely set its body ablaze, burning its flesh and bones!
but……
The flaming sword missed its mark several times, and strangely enough, he couldn't tell the opponent's level or class!
"Everyone be careful, there's something fishy about this guy!"
"Is he from Morilius?" a female angel asked. "I can't check his rank!"
“No matter which god you come from!” Yunmeng’s eyes flashed with golden light, and the flaming sword in her hand began to burn with ancient runes.
You've crossed the line!
"..." Keomi looked at the angels attacking from all sides, and Yunmeng, the angel who was about to judge him from above.
"earthquake……"
...
A slight tremor disrupted Elsie's train of thought.
"Huh? What was I thinking about just now?"
Weren't we talking about Jack being saved by Karin?
"Yeah?"
You actually believe that?!
"I really don't remember, so is this a new pattern of earthquakes?" Elsie saw the angel Yunmeng having her wings torn off by Keomi.
Bloodied wings lay curled up on the ashes of the ruins, accompanied by the agonizing screams of the female angels.
“Reduced destructive power, shortened cooldown time, and smaller range,” Elsie analyzed. “He has concentrated all the effects of the earthquake into trivialization.”
"Is he unable to use any power outside of martial arts, so he forces everyone to fight in the same way?"
"I see."
The battle was extremely brief. It seemed that Keomi had been toying with the angels the whole time. No, he deliberately concealed his strength, presenting himself as a slightly stronger prey.
But beneath this carefully wrapped package lies a hidden hunter!
Once the angel who thinks he is a hunter takes the bait, he can never escape the cage that catches birds!
The brief earthquake seemed to affect the mind as well; an angel attempted to fly away but lost consciousness midway and was stabbed to death by Keomi.
Yunmeng crawled along, her body badly injured. Her wings had been mercilessly torn off by Kaiomi, and her white feathers were stained red with blood. She swore that this was something she had never experienced even in human nightmares.
“That’s a shame.” After killing all the angels, Keomi came to her side and stepped on Yunmeng’s body to stop her from crawling any further.
His eyes seemed to see right through her!
"You will relive this nightmare countless times in the endless night..."
The longsword pierced Yunmeng's head, and Keomi picked up the sword and walked towards Elsie.
"You've observed long enough. What new discoveries have you made?" Keomi stopped three meters away from Elsie.
Elsie didn't make any move. To Keomi's question, she felt for the first time that Black Crown was so gentle.
"I've noticed that you're easier to talk to this time than last time."
“Really?” Keomi grinned. “Then I should apologize for that unfortunate me.”
“In the tyranny phase, shouldn’t we just start fighting?” Elsie stared into his eyes, wary of his every move.
"Hiss!" Keomi let out a strange sound.
"tyrannical?"
“I have gone through a journey you cannot imagine, my child.”
Elsie noticed the numbness and desolation in the other person's eyes, and... loneliness.
"Are you ready to fight me?" Keomi asked. "I came for the Blood Crown; only it can make up for my past mistakes."
"Only when all of this ends will I find the freedom I yearn for."
Elsie didn't move. She glanced at the old assassin fighting Plato elsewhere; their battle was not over yet.
“He’s related to you by blood. Why don’t you commit suicide? I’ll spare your companions and family,” Keomi said, glancing at the battle next door.
“It’s no use.” Elsie turned to look at Keomi: “A world that loses its crown will be invaded by a curse. This is the balance of the world’s rules. My death cannot save them.”
“It seems you’ve really been through a lot.” Keomi brandished his longsword and asked again, “Are you ready?”
"..." Elsie hesitated for three seconds before asking, "Where are your subordinates?"
She didn't see any of Keomi's men; he seemed to be all alone, really just one person?
Or is he waiting for some kind of sneak attack?
“!” Elsie looked into Keomi’s eyes and saw pain and helplessness in them.
“They betrayed me,” Keomi said.
Elsie gripped the dagger in her hand and said, "You betrayed them."
“Their freedom is not my freedom.” Keomi sighed. “I killed them.”
His scarlet eyes seemed to tell the whole story.
"In the woods...in the swamp...in the snow...every corner of our journey."
"I may have done the right thing, or I may have done the wrong thing, but that's why I embarked on this path."
"I need to verify this error, I need the prophecy of the Black Crown, I need all the crowns... to be forged into a flawless Black Crown!"
A flame ignited in Keomi's eyes: "Now, are you ready?"
"Elsie, are you ready to fight me?"
"Thank you for listening to me, and thank you for being willing to listen to me."
"I can wait until you're well-prepared; I have plenty of time..."
"No," Elsie declared resolutely, "Now!"
