In the Wayne Forest, there was silence. Saber and Erik stood opposite each other. After Magneto said his friendly "reminder", the atmosphere between the two men became solemn again.
This kind of powerful pressure would destroy the mind of a coward. In the eyes of those who knew how to fight with momentum, this kind of pressure itself was a weapon. When facing a notorious guy, people would subconsciously have a kind of fear. This kind of fear would weaken their own will, and in turn, it would strengthen the opponent's chances of winning. This was also a method that Saber and Batman often used.
They fought with fear, but unfortunately, the person standing opposite him now was not a person who would be overwhelmed by fear.
"So, what's your answer?"
Magneto looked at Saber Hawke in front of him. His eyes were calm, and there was great confidence in his speech. Judging from the silver-white cane in his hand, he was clearly ready for battle.
"Can I ask a question?"
Saber said, "Just treat it as satisfying my personal curiosity."
The corner of Erik's mouth twitched.
"Of course, you can choose to ask or not ask, but I can also choose to answer... It depends on what your question is."
This answer was equivalent to not answering at all. Obviously, this cunning guy in front of him was not easy to deal with. But Saber ignored this. He just frowned and asked,
"Does the disappearance of Professor Charles and the entire Xavier Academy have anything to do with you?"
He looked at Erik Lancel and said in a heavier tone, "Have you finally done something to your last friend for your goal that you can never achieve?"
"Well, I can answer this question."
Magneto smiled, but this could not hide the pain in his eyes that flashed in the darkness. He said, "This has nothing to do with me! At that time, I was still locked up in a prison made entirely of special materials. I promise I'm telling the truth. Do you need me to swear? "
He said a joke that was not funny. Then he stretched out his finger and drew in the air. The light from the magnetic force flashed on his fingertips and he said softly, "I'm sorry about Charles.
"As for what happened to Charles, I'm very sorry, but he won't be harmed. After everything is over, I'll personally set him free. He's protected this terrible civilization for too long, and it's time for him to rest. Let's return to the previous topic. As you can see, the final obstacle has been cleared."
Magneto opened his arms as if to embrace something that did not exist. It seemed to be what he had been pursuing, and it seemed to be within reach.
"The stupid president thought he was protecting his people, but he made a wrong decision. He naively thought that all humans were on his side, but they were not!"
Erik said softly,
"Those who stand with him are the ones who are most willing to stab him in the heart. And those are my allies. When the human order collapses, it will be the time for the mutant civilization to rise. We will step on the bones of the human civilization and inherit everything from them. Then, we will prove our superiority to the higher powers. I have said it before, this is evolution! . and we are the first group of Evolvers! "
"Join me, Saber! I sincerely invite you to join us! "
Magneto's voice became sincere, and he reached out to Saber. "We can stand together and create a new order together, just like you did in Gotham, and build our own order from nothing! We have the same blood flowing in our bodies, and we are born to stand together! "
Faced with Erik's warm invitation, Saber did not hesitate for a minute. He took a step back and crossed his hands in front of him,
"No! I refuse! I don't think it's a good thing to get the recognition of the Ancient One, and there is a small problem that needs to be discussed. "
A strange smile appeared on his face, and he touched his chin and said, "From Charles, I heard about your past.
"I heard some things about your past from Professor Charles. I heard that you spent your youth in a concentration camp where you lost all your family members. That is to say, you are actually one of the direct victims of the bloodline theory. But look at you now, Eric. You are like a lunatic who has been brainwashed by the bloodline theory, and you are still trying to brainwash me. Then tell me, how does it feel to see yourself living as the person you hate the most?"
Eric Lancel's expression froze. Anyone familiar with Magneto knew that those dark memories were the most repulsive memories in Magneto's heart. It was a forbidden zone in his heart, and no one dared to poke at that pain. Seiber might be the first in recent years, but he didn't seem to feel the chill coming from Eric at all. He pursed his lips and continued, "Let's go.
"There is one more question. Look at me, do you think I am the kind of person who is willing to submit to others? You want me to help you conquer the world, you want me to be your dog! Just like your followers... Come on, Erik, look into my eyes! "
He pointed to his eyes and said, "Tell me, do I look like your puppy?"
This long speech made Erik's anger surge in his heart. He raised his head subconsciously and saw Saber's eyes shining with a ring of fire, as well as the undisguised ridicule and excitement in those eyes.
"Not good! It's a trap! "
Erik's heart thumped and he quickly retreated, but in the next moment, a mysterious and special power began to stir his soul. The special ability from the Eyes of Repentance made Magneto lose his mind for a moment. In the second he reacted, he used his strong will to drive the surrounding magnetic force to gather crazily around his body. However, it was a little late.
"Ha! I have no interest in your disgusting scheme, I'm only interested in you! Erik Lancel, come and fight me! "
"Boom!"
The warhammer burning with black flames smashed down, bringing with it a scorching temperature and a whistling wind that made Erik's white hair flutter under his helmet. The speed of magnetic convergence slowed down a little, so when the Magnetic Shield had just been propped up, the warhammer had already crashed down like a mountain falling from the sky.
Stirring up heat, stirring up dark energy, and rolling up hellfire, Saber, like a God, clearly saw every moment when the warhammer broke through the Magnetic Shield. This hammer was the real fatal blow. He used actual actions to prove the correctness of the theory that if you can fight, don't talk. And Erik, who was directly smashed away, used his embarrassed appearance to prove how terrible it was to lose control of one's emotions when facing Saber.
Saber is a real opportunist. He will not only wait and seize every fleeting opportunity, but most importantly, when the situation is unfavorable, he will also take the initiative to create opportunities, which is the most terrifying thing about him.
"Bastard!"
Erik, who flew out like a cannonball, broke three trees before stopping in the magnetic convergence. He floated in the air, but the long trench coat burned by the flames and the bloodstains on his cheeks did not show a trace of majesty. Saber, who had completed a face-slapping raid on the real boss, picked up Erik's cane from the ground with satisfaction, shook it in his hand, and threw it into the sky like a javelin.
"You want to ask me my answer? This is my answer! "
"I'm not interested in your conspiracy, and I won't be a bug trying to block the wheels, but I won't be at your mercy either! It makes no difference to me whether the world is ruled by humans or a different Mutant King. The only problem is: don't mess with me! If you dare to reach out, please be prepared to face a madman in advance. "
He reached out and picked up the unconscious Dorothy on the ground, carried her on his back, walked out of the forest without looking back, and waved his hand toward the back.
"That's it, I had a good time fighting tonight, but I'm going back to rest, so help yourself."
He left so leisurely, as if he was sure that Magneto would not suddenly attack him from behind. In fact, Erik did not do that. He just stood in the darkness, watched Saber's motorcycle drive all the way out of the forest, then turned and disappeared into the darkness. His voice drifted in the night wind, dancing like light cotton, but it did not fall into the ears of the person who should have heard it.
"Oh, you will join this game, Saber, your victory will be my victory. Good luck... Madman of Gotham."
On the other side, on the speeding motorcycle, Seiber's face was calm. He felt that Magneto was a little strange tonight. He didn't seem like the original mutant overlord who stood on top of the Statue of Liberty. Everything he said seemed to have another layer of meaning, but this guy didn't want to explain it clearly. It was as if he wanted Seiber to guess.
Saber hated this feeling, he sniffed:
"That's why these old guys are really difficult to deal with!"
"Uh..."
Just as he was talking, Dorothy, who was in his arms, shook her head. Probably because she had just woken up from a coma, she looked up blankly and saw Saber behind her.
"Mr. Saber..."
"Take a break, Dorothy."
Saber said softly, "It's all in the past, the Brotherhood will not come to you again. Their business has nothing to do with you."
"But... but it's not the Brotherhood who came to me..."
Dorothy's expression became conflicted at this moment. It was as if there were two wills fighting for control of her body. She opened her mouth with difficulty and said, "Asazo … is being controlled. It's not … not him … this is against you … Purple Man! Be careful! "
"Pfft..."
Dorothy's warning made Saber raise his head subconsciously, but the next moment, a dagger pierced his heart from the front. He looked down in disbelief at Dorothy, who was trembling all over, and her fingers that were already stained with his blood.
She was the one who warned him... but she was also the one who assassinated him.
"Uh!"
Saber was not afraid of sharp weapons piercing his body, but this time, as the dagger in Dorothy's hand pierced his heart, a frightening numbness began to appear around the wound, and in less than three seconds, it spread to his entire chest, making it difficult for Saber to breathe. But this was just the beginning. His arms began to lose strength, and the motorcycle flipped, throwing both him and Dorothy out. They rolled on the ground and crashed to the side in a sorry state.
Poison! It was poison!
His greatest weakness had been discovered in the end.
Saber gasped for breath. He looked up and saw Dorothy trembling as she got up from the ground and walked toward him step by step. The girl's delicate face was full of struggle, and it was a kind of despair that came from being unable to control herself. She looked at Saber, whose body had been paralyzed and controlled, and raised the dagger in her hand.
"Poof!"
Another dagger pierced Saber's abdomen. He struggled desperately and pushed Dorothy away, but the next moment, the girl pounced on him again. The blade instantly left more than a dozen bone-deep wounds on his body, and this time, they did not heal quickly.
The self-healing... had been stopped!
Dorothy held the dagger and aimed it at Saber's neck, but when it came into contact with his skin, it was stopped by another force. Saber, who was slowly losing consciousness, raised his head with difficulty and saw Dorothy struggling. She was holding her right hand with her left hand, and she was fighting against herself. The struggle in Dorothy's eyes made Saber's scalp tingle.
Dorothy bit her lips until they bled. She used all her strength to place the dagger on her own neck. Her eyes were full of despair and pain. It was a reluctance to part with life and the powerlessness to be controlled. The tears of this ill-fated girl fell on the bloodstains on the ground, shattering her blurry reflection bit by bit.
Things had changed too quickly. In just a dozen seconds, he had fallen from heaven to hell. He could only watch as the sharp dagger with deadly poison slit Dorothy's neck bit by bit.
She had ended her own life with the dagger in her hand.
"How... I want to continue... to continue living... with you..."
"Goodbye... Saber! I hope in the next life... "
"Clang!"
The girl's body stiffened for a moment, and the bloody dagger fell to the ground. Saber's eyes were no longer as calm as before. The poison in his body was still raging, but he had given up on resisting the devouring of the dark energy and began to slowly devour it. It was a long process, as long as a lifetime.
After a few minutes, Saber raised his left hand.
He reached out and gently placed Dorothy's body in his arms. He closed the girl's eyes that were still open. He closed his eyes and reached out to pick up the dagger next to him. He wiped it clean and held it in his hand. He combed Dorothy's hair little by little while humming a strange lullaby. Finally, he supported himself against the wall with difficulty, reached out to pluck a wildflower from the roadside, and placed it in Dorothy's hand.
He looked at the hideous wound on the girl's neck and bowed slightly toward Dorothy's body. When he raised his head, the ring of fire in his eyes flashed and the girl's body was thrown into the flames. At the same time, he heard footsteps coming from behind him.
He was very weak. His self-healing ability was limited, and an unimaginable numbness was reverberating throughout his body. Right now, he was undoubtedly in a very dangerous situation. But when he saw those fellows walking out of the darkness, he only moved his head a little.
With a cold and ferocious face, a black warhammer appeared in his hand. Like the last warrior, he raised his finger to the front.
"You... are too slow! I don't want her to be so lonely on the road to hell. Give me your lives, okay? "
