479. The Last Sword
Jarad, one of the six factions in the Floating Council Chamber, is the spiritual symbol and leader of the Dark Blood Faction.
His appearance made the former weak Dark Blood Sect the most powerful faction in the Floating Chamber, and even created the most glorious and glorious three-hundred-year prosperous era of the Dark Blood Sect, which once made the Floating Council a hall of words for the Dark Blood Faction. However, after Locke's disappearance, all of this became a story that belonged only to legends, so Jarad had to change some of the behavior of the Darkblood - although this caused the Darkblood to lose a large number of personnel, but also allowed the Darkblood to retain its core strength.
It is not difficult to imagine what kind of damage would be brought to the Darkblood faction, as well as the entire Floating Council and Floating Island, if Jarad died in this rebellion.
The most direct and effective means of change often start with the hunt at the top.
The long sword in Locke's hand stabbed at Jarad's heart without the slightest hesitation.
Astral Assassin is an extremely efficient special assassin class, they have the strongest instant close assassination ability - although Sean does not know the principle, and those players who have successfully transferred to Astral Assassin cannot say the specifics, but in the scope of common understanding, it is probably equivalent to forcing the target to appear from the range selected when invisibility with the help of the system, and give a certain damage bonus.
In the face of Locke's near-nimma blow, Jarad did not panic.
He also waved his hand without hesitation, and directly grasped Locke's long sword, ignoring that the sharp blade itself was a kind of injury.
Seeing that Garad directly grasped his weapon without any protective measures, Locke's expression did not change in the slightest, but gritted his teeth. Holding your left hand on the hilt of your sword is pouring all the strength of your body into your hands. Pushing the sword hard.
He didn't want to miss such a perfect opportunity to attack!
"You've changed." The long sword advanced a millimeter of distance with difficulty, as if some extremely special force was locked on the sword body at this time. Stopped Locke's advance, "Blinded by the flames of revenge, you have not only forgotten my domain abilities, but even the most basic abilities. β¦β¦ Even if this is in the category of legendary abilities, but we who have fallen from the realm of legends should not forget it, even if it is ...... It is no longer possible to fully exert this ability 100 percent. β
"Ahh Locke ignored Galad's preaching and continued to work hard.
Jarad slowly closed his eyes, though he didn't let go of Locke's attack. But he didn't attack Locke either. There was a look of pain on his face, and from his closed eyes, he could still clearly see the movement of his eyes and the frowning of his brows, and it was not difficult to guess Jarrad's mood at this time. But even so, Jarad still didn't wave the butcher's knife at Locke.
"Ahh
In front of the ruined Commander's Building, only Locke's roar of reluctance and anger still resounded.
"Tell me why!" Galad, who suddenly opened his eyes, not only let out a roar of rage, but also waved his right hand - the long sword that was also held in his hand finally swung towards Locke's body.
There was blood, spilling out of the air.
Locke's sword, Garrad's, swung across his chest, tearing not only Locke's corset. At the same time, the sharp blade swept past his chest.
But!
Contrary to what Jarad had imagined, the blood that flowed out of it was not bright red, but dark red, with a strong rancid smell. It's as if a clotted blood clot soaked in a special liquid eventually melts back into plasma. And Rockna's bare ribcage due to the torn corset is not a healthy flesh color, but a grayish-black. Not only does it emit a strong foul odor, but there are even dark purple patches on it.
When the dark red blood fell on Jarad's body. A corrosive sizzle and white smoke immediately came out.
The light armor on Jarad's body was actually melting rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. It's like dripping hot water on top of cream. What's even more terrifying is that this ablation is not just for the metal, when the shoulder armor and breastplate that were sprayed on these strong corrosive blood were corroded and emptied, the corrosive blood dripping on his body actually began to corrode Jalad's body even further.
Soon, large expanses of blood began to flow from Jalad's body.
But Jarad didn't seem to hear it, just staring at Locke's body, not caring about his body, which could be called a serious injury.
"Why?" Looking at Garad like this, Locke smiled a little nervously, "Ah, as you can see, my teacher...... That's the reason, the reason for my revenge, the reason why I want to destroy everything. I...... I'm going to kill you! β
"Corpse resuscitation......" Jarad murmured in disbelief, "this evil forbidden technique...... Who is it! Who is it that has used this evil forbidden art on you! β
"Does it matter?" Locke tilted his head, then his left hand loosened, and his right hand stopped exerting force, "As I said, everything doesn't matter anymore. Moreover, what if we told you who raised me up? Can you still lay your hands on the Most High? β¦β¦ From the moment I was resurrected by Him, I stayed in that dim place for more than a hundred years...... In order to enjoy the thrill of this moment of revenge! β
"Supreme...... Could it be ......" Galard's face changed slightly, "Lord Guardian?" β
"So...... My teacher, can you do something to the Guardians? β
"We can tell Lord Asali!" Jarad said in a deep voice, "Lord Asali is also a Guardian! He must ......"
"yes...... And Lord Asali...... The righteous Guardian ......," Locke muttered in a low voice.
"Yes, that's right......" Galard chimed in.
But at this moment, Locke suddenly exerted his strength, holding the long sword in his right hand and stabbed at Galad again!
At this time, Jalad. Because the vigilance was relaxed, there was no force to stop it at all. And he didn't expect it at all. Locke would actually attack him in this state, so much so that when the sword stabbed at him. Not only could he not stop it, but he couldn't even avoid it, so he could only barely turn it sideways slightly, trying to avoid the attack of this sword as much as possible.
Seeing that his attack failed again, and did not pierce Galad's heart, but only brushed it against the atrium, Locke's face was hideous, and he suddenly tried to make the long sword cut horizontally, smashing Garad's heart in one fell swoop.
But this time. Jarad was already prepared, and naturally it was impossible for Locke to succeed. He reached out again and grabbed the blade of Locke's long sword, allowing the blade to cut his palm, and blood dripping to the ground, but he still didn't swing the sword at Locke, just kicked Locke's body hard, kicking him out directly. But at this moment, Garad did not dare to pull out the long sword that had pierced into his chest, because the sword had already penetrated his body. Pulling out the sword without treatment would only worsen his injuries.
Locke slowly stood up from the ground, and then wiped the corners of his mouth, a strange look on his face that he didn't know what to say.
"My teacher. You taught me not to be naΓ―ve, but look at yourself......" The corners of Locke's mouth pulled out an astonishing arc at this moment. It was the Jalad who truly believed in the student who had made him extremely proud. It's really dead," ...... Do you believe what I just said? Ahaha. If I don't even believe it, how would you believe it? Haha......"
Locke laughed unusually exaggeratedly, he clutched his stomach, and then kept twitching, letting out a horrible laugh: "I have told you that you are no longer my faith, but you ...... Ahaha...... They actually believe my words, hahahaha...... How naΓ―ve ......"
"How could you be so pathetic!" Jarad roared and stood up, and the next moment he swooped directly in front of Locke, and the long sword in his hand slashed towards Locke's head.
The whistling sound of the blade waving in the air was particularly harsh, truly like thunder.
It's hard to imagine that with Jalad's current strength, he still has the strength to launch such a devastating attack.
It's just that in the face of such a threatening attack, Locke didn't have the slightest fear, and in the moment he couldn't help it, he dodged Galad's attack, and even had the ability to stretch out his right hand to hold the hilt of his long sword that pierced Galad's chest. It's just that when he tried to draw his sword, he found that this time Jarad did not slacken, his left hand always firmly grasped the small half of the sword body exposed in front of his chest, and did not let Locke pull a bit, and his right hand that attacked the air, and immediately changed his wrist, and the long sword changed from sweeping to vertical split, and slashed towards Locke again.
As a last resort, Locke retreated to avoid Galad's attack.
Only this time, it was a little embarrassing to dodge.
The blade touches the ground.
The earth collapsed and cracked like fragile ice crystals falling from a giant hammer.
However, such a violent attack also seemed to make Garard a little unbearable, and his right leg staggered slightly.
"What, are you old?" Locke looked at the flaws revealed by Galad, and said with a smile, "My teacher, don't worry, even if you die, you can soon be added to us, because ......" As soon as Locke's words were halfway through, his whole person suddenly froze, and his eyes followed with a look of collapse and sluggishness, seeing the appearance of this scene, a trace of shock flashed in Garard's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by awakening and heartache.
"Teacher......" The sluggish and dissolved color in Locke's eyes quickly recondensed, but it was not the neurotic madness of the previous one, but a kind of peace and clarity, "Teacher...... Sorry ......"
"Mind control!?" Jallard hurriedly walked to Locke's side and picked up Locke, who had collapsed to the ground, "This is ...... What's going on? β
"I ...... I don't know. Locke said with some difficulty, "Teacher...... Could you please ...... Kill me! I was able to ...... I see my own behavior, but I can't control it...... Teacher...... I beg you, kill me! β
"Locke, don't worry, there must be a way to ......"
"No, it's useless." Locke's sudden violent spasms twitched, and when he finally calmed down, his original face that was no different from a normal person began to turn gray, as if death had begun to spread in his body, "I...... I was resurrected by the Lord Babylon, and he magnified the darkness in my heart, so ...... I became his weapon...... Just now, I felt the fall of Lord Babylon, so my negative mind control will be lifted...... I can't live anymore......"
"No, it won't! ...... by all means."
Before Gallard could finish his words, Locke's left hand had begun to gradually turn into gray powder.
"Teacher...... Please, kill me! Locke glanced at his left hand and began to speed up his words, "I don't have much time left. But...... I hope that I will still be able to die like a human in the end, not ...... Annihilate like a monster. β
"No ......"
"Teacher!" Locke's left hand has completely turned into powder, and even his legs have begun to turn into powder little by little, and the clothes on his body seem to be accelerated by the time factor, and they are beginning to become worn, and seem to be turning into powder along with his body, "Please...... Teacher! β
"Locke......" Jarad stood up with some trembling tremors, and then pointed the tip of the longsword at Locke's heart.
Looking at Galad's appearance, Locke lay quietly on the ground, and his face showed the gentle smile of the past: "I'm sorry, teacher. That day, I finally couldn't hold back my anger and stayed at home without listening to you. β¦β¦ I'm sorry, teacher, but I'm still worried about you. β¦β¦ Sorry ......"
"Ahh Galad let out a terribly palpitating roar like a wounded beast, tears streaming from his eyes and then dripping down his cold mask and cheeks.
"But...... Thank you, teacher. Locke smiled and narrowed his eyes, "All the while, thanks to your care, I really ...... Very happy. It wasn't my intention to stab you with the sword, but I can't control myself, I'm sorry, teacher. In the end, it still worries you. But...... Really, thank you, teacher. β
The long sword pierced Locke's heart.
With the piercing of the long sword, it took away the last vestiges of Locke's perception and consciousness.
At the same time, it completely severed the last remaining connection between him and the caster.
In my ears, there was a very slight sound.
Even without looking, Jarad knew that when his sword pierced Locke's heart, completely ending his consciousness, his body turned to powder in this instant. (To be continued......)
PS: The cough is so painful, this chapter is yesterday. Day before yesterday...... I'm sorry that I didn't change it.
