The reason why Akasha appeared here was all because of Roddy.
Speaking of which, it was also because of his personality. Roddy, who was "more rational than anything", was only focused on the advancement mission. It was difficult for him to understand the feeling of despair and fear in Akasha's heart. He didn't even know what kind of position he had in Akasha's heart after he "accidentally" saved her …
For example, Akasha was like a person who fell into the sea, and Roddy was like a life-saving driftwood … The only thing she could think of was to hold on tightly and never let go.
That was why after they left the ruins, Akasha desperately tried to keep up with Rody. She was afraid that she would be abandoned in this desolate and terrible forest. However, she did not expect that the guy in front of her did not seem to care about her at all. He did not even say anything superfluous. He just activated his' Sprint 'and disappeared into the forest.
Akasha was completely dumbfounded.
The experience in the "Ancient Book Room" had left an indelible shadow in her heart. Putting aside whether she would get "Phobia of Darkness", at this moment, she couldn't accept the fact that she was "abandoned".
Akasha looked at the back of Roddy's rapidly disappearing figure, and a thought came to her mind: Catch up with him!
So she began to run desperately — anemia, hunger, and fatigue. If an ordinary person was in such a state, it would be difficult for them to even "walk", let alone "run" … But Akasha would rather die on the road of chasing than stop to face the fear brought by "loneliness".
For a full ten minutes, Akasha was almost half dead. Her face was as pale as paper, and she was covered in sweat. Even her vision became blurred. Just before she collapsed, she finally heard some movement in front of her, but before she could see clearly what was happening, she heard a "boom". A shadow flew out and crashed into a tree in front of her, snapping it in half.
She stopped and tried to identify the figure who groaned and climbed up from the ground. When she saw the other person's face distorted with pain and anger, Akasha almost couldn't believe her eyes …
"Kevin … Kevin?"
When she said the name, Akasha felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
The structure of the "Viper Cross" was not as strict as she imagined. Other than the few old guys at the core, although the rest were divided into ranks like the "Rose Cross", there was another system, which was the "Executioner" organization that directly belonged to the "Cardinal".
This was not the "Holy War Army" that the "Rose Cross" assembled during the war, but a team that specialized in "special missions". To put it bluntly, they were completely the simplest killing machines, the direct expression of the will of the "Viper Cross".
In other words, the appearance of the "Executioner" only meant "death".
Half a year ago, Akasha had met Kevin, who had led a team to "clean up the traitors". She had even had a few words with him … So even though his hair and armor were charred, she could still recognize him at a glance.
Akasha's first reaction was that the "traitor" was to be dealt with by the "Viper Cross" after escaping from the tiger's mouth half a year ago. She even had a few words with him … So even if his hair and armor were burnt, she could still recognize him at a glance.
But she would rather not recognize this guy, because when the "Executioner" appeared in front of her, Akasha's first reaction was that the "Viper Cross" was going to deal with the "traitor" like her!
But the next question came: How did he end up in such a sorry state?
Looking up, he saw the figure that Akasha was running towards him from afar, and he was instantly dumbfounded.
Although Kevin had stood up, his mind was still in a mess. The "Raging Flames Impact" had shattered most of his armor, and his arms were charred black. He was still holding the sword in his hand, but there was no longer the elemental light on the sword. It was now completely dim …
Roddy noticed Akasha, but he didn't have time to talk nonsense. He firmly followed the principle of "Take your life while you're down", and used "Gallop" to charge forward. The scimitar split open Kevin's powerless sword with a "Ka" sound, followed by a punch to Kevin's abdomen, causing his body to almost hang in the air!
Such a beating also stimulated Kevin's will to live. He fought back with all his might, clenching his sword and swinging it. Just as Roddy was about to start the second round of "Flame Corrosion", he heard a shout in the Wood Elf language behind him, "Roddy, get out of the way!"
It was Natha's voice.
His "Environmental Sensitivity" combat stance allowed Roddy to identify Natha's position, and at the same time, he heard the sound of a bowstring being drawn. His thoughts turned quickly, and he immediately understood Natha's intentions. Without looking back, he dodged sideways. Almost in the next moment, an arrow flew past his chest, and hit Kevin's sword-wielding right shoulder!
This was probably the first time the "master and disciple" had worked together. Although it was done in a hurry, it was like a stroke of genius, crippling Kevin's right arm!
But after being hit by the arrow, Kevin ignored the pain and blurted out, "You're Roddy!?"
Although the Wood Elf language was different from the Bringan language, the pronunciation of the name "Roddy" was the same. Kevin staggered a step back, his eyes wide as he stared at the scimitar in Roddy's hand. His mind was reminded of his powerful archery skills, and then he looked at Akasha, who was not far away, and inadvertently pieced together some information …
I've been tricked!
Kevin felt a chill in his heart. He almost let go of his arm that was hit by the arrow and dropped his sword on the ground. Bishop Jackad had assigned two missions in a letter a few days ago. One was to capture Akasha, and the other was to find Rody and get rid of him. Now that these two 'wanted criminals' had appeared at the same time, he immediately thought that the two of them had planned this!
Little did he know that before this, the two did not even know each other's names …
Roddy did not care about his nonsense. He was always a "man of action". When he confirmed that there were only 12 seconds left in the "Soul Link", he rushed forward and slashed several times without saying a word!
Kevin, who was hit in the shoulder, was unable to block the arrow. He wanted to use magic to resist, but the skill was on cooldown. In desperation, he could only run away — but the situation was clear, where could he run to? So when his gaze fell on Akasha, his face revealed a hint of madness and hatred …
The next moment, Kevin rolled forward without a care for his image and rushed straight at Akasha. It was obvious that he was going to die together with her!
Obviously, he understood the principle of "pick the soft persimmon to pinch". Akasha looked at him pouncing over, but she couldn't run at all because her legs were already stiff. She could only watch as the other party raised his sword and rushed towards her …
Am I going to die in the end?
With this thought in despair, Akasha closed her eyes and stood there as if waiting for death. However, what welcomed her was not Kevin's cold and sharp blade, but a sudden wave of heat that came rushing towards her!
"Whoosh!"
Roddy used the last and most powerful skill of the Snake King Sakya at a distance of 10 meters from Kevin: "Snake Flame Breath".
The moment the skill was released, countless fire elements condensed above Roddy's head, and a huge fiery red snake head appeared faintly. The breath belonging to Sakya spewed out and immediately engulfed Kevin!
The fire element was abnormally ferocious, but it stopped abruptly in front of Akasha. Only the heat wave that was brought along blew up her hair …
Before this, Kevin's body had been stacked with "Flame Corrosion" five times, so this powerful breath had an additional 30% fire damage!
Kevin no longer had the strength to resist, and immediately fell to the ground in flames … "Snake Flame Breath" also had continuous damage. Kevin was sent flying by the impact, screaming in pain, and completely lost the ability to fight.
As for Roddy, his steps were steady. He casually swung his scimitar twice, squatted down, raised his scimitar, and slashed down with a "ka" sound …
Akasha covered her mouth and slumped to the ground as though she had finally escaped from a nightmare. She didn't know what to say for a moment. Because at that moment, she found out that this fella was actually the scout captain who saved her in Hollier City!
He saved her once from the tunnel, once from the ruins, and once from the sword of "Executioner" Kevin …
Strictly speaking, he already owed the other party three lives.
What shocked her even more was Kevin, who was lying on the ground in front of her … This guy was stronger than Gallup, and he was killed just like that?!
But then she remembered that "Snaketooth" Gallup was also killed by Roddy!
If she had any doubts about the conversation between Roddy and Sodelor, after witnessing everything in front of her, she would not have the slightest doubt even if Roddy said that he had killed everyone in the Tasman Kingdom, not to mention "going on a killing spree in the Orc Kingdom".
The ups and downs she had experienced in a day had completely exhausted Akasha. After she sat on the ground, the after-effects of running immediately appeared. She clutched her chest, and a sickly red flush appeared on her face. The scenery in front of her also darkened …
But then Akasha saw a pair of leather boots appear in front of her, and her body was lifted up by a force. Roddy's hands were under her armpits, and he unceremoniously lifted the limp beauty up. But Akasha was completely exhausted, and her body could not help but lean against him …
Akasha's face was completely red. Her first reaction was that Roddy wanted to "take advantage of the situation", but Roddy's subsequent actions made her even more embarrassed and angry. Roddy dragged her directly to a big tree, raised his hand, and turned her body around, and then pushed her forward …
Akasha found herself pressed in front of the tree, and her plump chest was pressed against the rough trunk. For a moment, she could not breathe. With her back facing Roddy, her mind was filled with terror, as if she had already thought of something that was too embarrassing to speak of. Just as she was about to open her mouth to beg for mercy, she heard a muffled "thud" in her ear. She looked up and saw a dagger deeply inserted into the trunk beside her face. The force was so great that only the handle of the dagger could be seen outside.
