Chapter 482: Undead Swordsman Ledroth
"Ezreal, stand back and don't go it alone from the group." Jeno pressed Ezreal's shoulder and pulled him behind him, then looked at the undead swordsman in front of him and said with interest:
"Let's talk, Ledroth."
"Who are you, living man? Why do you know my name? Lydros's ethereal face was filled with unconcealed surprise, and the call from the mouth of the living made him feel like a world away, as if he had traveled back in time to when he had first arrived with the fleet.
He remembered what the place had been like - white stones and shimmering gold bathed in sunlight, the island wrapped in a barrier of white mist, rejecting any outsiders.
The woman he admired commanded the fleet with great grace, rushed around the reef into the fog, and led everyone to the shore safe and sound.
When they first landed, he found it to be a land of God's favorβa land of wealth, learning, and wonders, free from war and famine.
Because of the natural protective barrier of the fog around the island, there were no troops stationed here, but it was convenient for their group of butchers.
"My name is Jeno, and what I like to do most is match people."
Jeno smiled merrily, and after feeling the power from the blade weaken, he also let go of his left hand, allowing Rydros to pull out the broken sword and plunge it back into the broken scabbard.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, my name is Ledroth, and I am the King's defender, the King's chief swordsman." The tall swordsman kindly stretched out his palm to Jeno, but Jeno glanced at it and didn't reach out to hold it together.
"Did you forget something?" Jeno said.
"Forgot something?" Ledroth's face was full of confusion, as if Jeno was about to stir up trouble.
"Your other identity, you're still a follower of Calista."
"She's dead." Lydros became irrepressibly angry at the sight of the name, and he did not allow it to be mentioned in front of him, a name that now only brought him sorrow.
"Really? Isn't she here? β
Jeno grabbed a broken silver pendant from his coat pocket and spread his palm to reveal it in front of Ledroth.
It is a short chain with an intricate silver pendant carved with two roses, the leaves and stems intertwined like a pair of lovers embracing each other.
When he saw this familiar pendant, Ledros's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Why is this thing in your hands, I remember I lost it!"
He grabbed the pendant from Jeno with his black-gloved hands, and the bitter memory made his face full of pain: "Why did it return to my hands, could it be that I still can't escape this reincarnation after all?" β
"Remember? If you remember this jewelry, it means that you remember Calista, right? β
Instead of immersing the undead in the sad past, Jeno is ready to confront the fragility of his heart.
"Don't mention that name!"
The anger in his body stirred up Ledroth, and suddenly exploded. He took a step towards Jeno, the light shining on his sword. He was tall and full of rage and violence when he was alive.
He looked down on Jeno like a ferocious bear.
"Isn't Calista your lover?" Jeno turned a blind eye.
"Shut up!" Lydros roared, the sword in his hand ready to fall. "Or I'll cut you."
"I helped you find the pendant, and that's how you treated your benefactor? Are you the Chief Swordsman or the Chief White-Eyed Wolf? Jeno didn't take a step back, because he knew that the undead were in a precarious mental state.
If you want to convince them, you must be strong.
"No, I threw it away." Ledros roared, clenching the pendant in his hand.
"You've lost your only hope."
Jeno watched as he lowered his sword again, his anger seemingly fading quickly, as despair had taken its place.
"It's foolish to have any hope. There can be no Sabbath unless the curse of taking away the archipelago is broken. β
"I came to break the curse, but you are in prison and you don't save yourself, are you waiting for someone to save you? Even if you jump out of the reincarnation alone and don't have to suffer the pain of piercing your heart, but Callista is still trapped in reincarnation and can't extricate herself, you ask yourself, is this self-deception really a big husband? Maybe I should kill you here, so that you can regain your faith in samsara. However, time is running out for you. β
"I ......" The sudden soul questioning caught Ledros off guard, and the second half of Jeno's words made him feel inexplicably flustered.
Why is there no time? Didn't he receive the curse of immortality? Isn't the last thing he lacks is time?
"Now I have one last chance before you, and if you continue to be decadent and do not rescue Calista, you will never have a chance to meet again when I lift the curse and the true Sabbath comes."
Jano looked down at Ledroth, the tall swordsman undead who had just lost his support and suddenly fell to his knees.
"Is it too late for me to try?" His heart had already wavered.
Lejos hid his face and wept bitterly, but not a single tear escaped from the corner of his eye. A gust of cold wind hit the scorched earth, but he couldn't feel it.
"I'll try to buy you time, and you can cry as loudly as you can." Jeno said.
Letroth cried.
The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, but he hasn't reached the sad place.
Everyone watched from the hillside at this strange scene, but no one was baffled, because they had already known what had happened to this swordsman from Jeno beforehand.
The chief swordsman, Ledroth, witnessed the assassination of his admirer in front of his eyes, stabbed through the body by dozens of spears.
Filled with grief and rage, he rebelled and fought the knights of the Iron Order, and finally lay down in a pool of blood as outnumbered, and under the cold gaze of the killer, he used his last strength to clench Calista's dead hand.
I can't spend time with her when I'm alive, but I can be with her when I'm dead.
But then the curse of ruin resurrected them at the same time.
Ledros kept most of his memories alive, the deepest of which was his deep love for Calista; But Calista's deepest memory is that the sinners who betrayed and killed her, driven by the obsession of hatred, turned into a spear of revenge to seek justice for all those who were betrayed.
In order to free his lover from the never-ending spiral, Ledros engages in a series of actions in one cycle after another: talking, fighting, killing the traitor Hecarim, and even committing suicide......
Despite the fact that he was armed with a broken sword and an iron shield, he was the one who killed Hekarim the most times, which shows his determination to save Calista.
But at some point, Hammerstone intervened in his actions.
