Chapter 319 If You Don’t Go to Hell, Who Will?
Amber has always considered himself a scholar.
Even when he was an adventurer, he never confronted powerful enemies head-on.
People should know themselves. You have been in such a miserable situation for so long. It is obvious that you are not treated like a protagonist. There is no point in being reckless.
Although Amberxiu now has the blessing of the Golden Throne and his personal combat power is at the peak of legend, he will still leave the battle to others as long as there is a chance.
Melina's charge knocked the stone giant to the ground, but it didn't cause much damage.
Although the knight's spear in Melina's hand was not an ordinary item, it only trimmed the stone giant's feet a little, and the stone that was knocked off was not even as big as a fist.
The stone giant was not stupid either. After falling to the ground, he did not get up, but rolled over directly.
The altar was not very large to begin with, and the stone giant covered most of the area with just one roll.
Amber had already given up the battlefield and stood beside Zariel, thinking that the stone giant would not attack his master. Now, as expected, the stone giant ignored Amber and rolled towards Melina.
Zariel glanced at Amber and said sarcastically, "It seems that I was wrong. You are not a warrior."
Amber said nonchalantly: "How can a lich be related to a warrior? You must have misunderstood."
While the two were chatting, the stone man was about to fall on Melina.
Amber thought she would use her superb riding skills to avoid this devastating blow.
But Melina chose to go head-to-head.
A huge amount of dark magic power surged out of her body, turning into a tangible wave and colliding with the stone man.
The huge shock wave caused the entire underground temple to shake, and the rolling momentum of the stone giant weighing hundreds of tons was blocked by Melina's magic.
"So exaggerated?" Amber Xiu was a little shocked.
Although Melina's soul was woven by him, the most important thing for a Death Knight is its body. I don't know what method the Withered Rose used to allow Melina to possess such an outrageous dark magic. Perhaps Melina can compete with Gareth.
After blocking the stone giant's rolling, Melina launched another charge. The magic power condensed at the tip of the gun turned into a dark and dull drill, which pierced fiercely into the stone giant's body.
The bullet actually penetrated deeply into the stone man's body, completely piercing his right arm.
The stone man roared and swung his other arm towards Melina. This time Melina did not resist, but nimbly rode the Whispering Warhorse on the stone man's body, stabbing the stone man's body with pits and holes.
Zariel exclaimed, "What a fine warrior, her eyes can see weaknesses?"
Amberxiu nodded. Melina's golden right eye could see through all the concealment effects. In fact, it could see through all the magic structures. This giant stone man was obviously a monster made of magic. It would be easier to find the weak point and attack it.
Zariel stared at Melina and asked excitedly: "She is your creation? How about giving her to me? I can give you enough benefits!"
Amber replied: "She is my daughter."
"Daughter?" Zariel finally retracted his gaze upon hearing this, looked at Amber in surprise and said, "How can the dead give birth to children?"
Amber smiled and replied, "Sorry, it's a secret recipe."
Zariel stared at Amber for a while, and she was increasingly unable to understand this lich.
Zariel said persistently, "So what if she's your daughter? Liches have no morals, so what can't they sell? Name your price."
Amber shook his head and said, "Respected Grand Duke Avernus, you don't understand what I mean. I can do any business. I even want to sell all the gods, but I don't have the power. Melina is my daughter, not my merchandise. How can I sell something that doesn't belong to me?"
Zariel stared at Amber for a long time again, then gave him an appreciative smile.
"Yes, Lich, you are very good. But it's a pity that you insist on being my enemy. In view of what you just said, when you fall into hell, I can reserve a place for you under my command."
Amber Xiu said awkwardly: "Ah this... I don't have to go to hell, right?"
Zariel said doubtfully, "You just said you were going to sell off all the gods. If people like you don't go to hell, who else will?"
Amber: ...
While the two were talking, Melina had already severely ravaged the stone man.
Although the stone man was powerful, his movements were too clumsy, and he couldn't even touch the corner of Melina's clothes. Several times, he hammered hard and hit himself instead.
Melina specifically attacked the weak points of the stone man's body, and soon made him lose his ability to move.
Before long, the stone man was completely torn into pieces by her, but Melina was also very tired. She had consumed too much magic power, which almost drained her body.
Zariel clapped his hands and praised Melina, "You fought beautifully, little girl. Are you interested in joining my legion? I will allow you to live freely in the mortal world. You only need to serve me when I summon you, and I can make you stronger."
Amber could not sell his daughter, so Zariel directly recruited Melina. Melina not only had a rare talent for forbidden magic, but more importantly, her performance in battle, her indomitable spirit made Zariel very fond of her, and she liked to collect such warriors.
Moreover, the conditions offered by Zariel were very favorable, with almost no restrictions. The only problem was that the wars launched by Zariel were generally very tragic, and his soldiers would suffer heavy casualties in most cases. Another point was that the wars launched by Zariel were either against other gods or invasions of the mortal world.
Once Melina chooses to join, she will certainly be able to obtain rewards from the Grand Duke of the First Layer of Hell, but she will most likely become an enemy of all mortal life.
Amber Xiu is not going to interfere in how to measure it specifically.
Just like he just said, Melina is his daughter, but she doesn't belong to him.
In Amber's opinion, whether to agree or not, it is not a bad choice for Melina. Amber chose to help the tieflings just to prevent the Ryan family from dominating. It was based on his own interests, not because he thought there was anything wrong with Hell invading the mortal world.
It’s all about different positions and different interests.
Just like when Gareth killed Ryan for revenge, I believe that even the god of justice Tyr could not blame him for his behavior.
From Zariel's perspective, it is natural for her to take revenge on the mortal world. From the perspective of the devils in hell, invading this world is their natural duty and the most natural thing to do.
Therefore, all choices are in Melina's hands.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Melina looked at Amberxiu doubtfully, hoping to get his hint.
Amber Xiu asked: "Can't make a decision?"
Melina nodded and said, "I...I don't know."
"Then don't rush to make a decision." Amber turned around and asked Zariel, "The great Duke of Hell should not mind giving the little girl some time to think about it. After all, Melina is less than one year old. I believe you will not force a child who is not familiar with the world to make a decision."
Zariel snorted, but did not refute Amber's words.
"Melina, you are the first mortal who has made me wait. But your father is right. A child who makes a decision now will only regret it. I will give you enough time to think, but when I ask a second time, there will be no possibility of further delay."
Flames burst out of Zariel's body and his figure began to fade slowly.
Amber Xiu was startled and quickly stopped her: "Wait, didn't you say that as long as you complete your challenge, you will tell me the plan of the evil dragon goddess?"
Zariel stared at Amber's face and asked, "Lichs are supposed to be shameless, right? How can you be so thick-skinned? Is that the challenge you completed?"
"You said that any means can be used. Shouldn't the devil attach the most importance to the contract?" Amber said.
Zariel was not going to argue with Ambersh. She came to see Ambersh on behalf of Tiamat because Tiamat did not want to come. The goddess herself said that she could not have any communication with the lich, otherwise she would only suffer.
Zariel did not believe Tiamat's words, but was very curious about Amberhu. In addition, Zariel had seen Amberhu in his dream before. Zariel could feel that it was a very special scene, as if another god was helping the lich.
It was very interesting, so Zariel took the initiative to come and see it for himself.
Now that he had seen it all, the lich was indeed more cunning than the Prince of Lies, and Zariel knew that arguing with him was a waste of effort.
So Zariel waved at Melina and said, "Come here."
Melina walked to Zariel in confusion, and the Duke of Hell said something in Melina's ear.
Amber Xiu wanted to eavesdrop on their conversation, but was blocked from perception by a force.
After a few seconds, Zariel finished whispering, and then said to Amber, "I have told your daughter the secret. This makes sense, after all, I never said how I would tell you. Goodbye, lich. I hope you can guess all the secrets, and I am looking forward to your expression when you find out the truth."
Zariel finally turned into flames and disappeared, leaving Melina and Amberhau confused.
Amber touched his chin and pondered, "What does this devil mean? Even if I know their plan, can't I change it?"
Amber Xiu also knew that thinking when he knew nothing was just a waste of time, so he asked Melina, "What did He just tell you?"
Melina said with a look of grievance: "I...I don't know..."
"How could you not know?" Amber asked curiously.
“He spoke a language I couldn’t understand,” Melina said.
Amber was stunned for a moment, then quickly recited a sentence with a strange tone, and continued to ask: "Is it the language I just recited?"
Melina nodded quickly and said, "Yes! That's the language. I didn't understand a word of it."
Amber knew that he was in trouble this time. Zariel whispered to Melina in the devil's language, and there was no way Melina could remember it.
