"Little Ko Hua, I thought you had distanced yourself from the war. It seems that things still don't go as you wish." The voice sighed.
"I can't help it, Lord Milondal."
The blue figure nodded and stopped talking to Ko Hua. Instead, he turned to Arreck and the others and said, "I know why you are here, but you may not know the truth behind what you are doing. You are the Black Iron People, and according to my agreement with the Crystal, I will not make things difficult for you. The Awakening God is under this throne. You can choose the future of this world for yourself. "
After that, he took one last look at Ko Hua, and his figure gradually faded and disappeared. Only Arreck and the others were left in the hall.
"I didn't expect that agreement to be true," Arreck said in a low voice. "The Crystal Dragon made an agreement with the Gods that the generation of Black Iron could decide their own destiny. The Gods stayed away from Wohnde and no longer interfered with everything on this land. The so-called Azure Knight breaking the sky was just an opportunity at the beginning of this history. I'm very curious about what happened before and after the Battle of Ebabel. "
He looked at Ko Hua, but the eldest daughter of Échis kept her mouth shut this time and did not answer.
That must be a big secret.
Arreck thought. But this secret was destined to be buried under the dust, because once Milos woke up, that dark soul would take advantage of the situation and enter. The Giant God Milos would no longer be the guardian of order, but a true dark giant. Under its power, Erouine would usher in true dusk. At that time, the so-called secret would be worthless, because the dead did not need secrets.
He looked at the others and said, "Let's do it. Open the portal to the Sulfur River near the throne."
The eyes of the members of All for One flashed with excitement as they walked along the spiral bridge to the central platform. Arreck watched this scene quietly, then turned to Ko Hua and said, "Once that soul obtains Milos' body, according to the agreement, you will be free. This is also the agreement between you and Lord Échis. We have no intention of offending you."
Ko Hua nodded, as if he didn't mind such a small offense.
She looked in a certain direction in the hall and replied softly, "It seems that your guest has arrived, human."
Arreck was slightly startled, and then he looked up in that direction. A moment later, a group of people appeared in that direction.
It was Veronica and her group.
And at the same time that Arreck discovered the other party, Veronica apparently also discovered the existence of All For One —
"Arreck!" It was Veronica's voice. "I didn't expect you to fall so low. You're a descendant of the nobles, but now you're standing side by side with the enemy of civilization. Your actions have shamed your ancestors. From this moment onwards, the banner of the Sprinting Wolf Clan will no longer flutter. A clan will fall apart because of his unfilial descendants. And that is what you are doing right now. "
Arreck raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect Veronica to arrive so quickly. But he didn't panic at all. Instead, he replied disdainfully, "Cliché, Veronica. Being in a high position has made you used to these high-sounding rhetoric. But they mean nothing to me. Family and glory, you can go and say that to those refugees struggling in hunger and cold. The so-called glory is not as meaningful as a copper coin to them. It's the same for me, because I don't care about such things at all. Mortals are always burdened by false reputation, so they repeatedly make those low-level mistakes. "
"Veronica, tell me, what are family and glory?" He snorted coldly, ignoring Veronica's words.
"Simply unreasonable," Veronica muttered. "This guy is simply crazy."
Brando listened to the conversation between the two from behind and couldn't help but smile bitterly. This was probably because of their different identities and perspectives. Although Arreck was also a noble, he was obviously more interested in the identity of a cultist. For these lunatics in the eyes of ordinary people, family and glory were indeed meaningless.
In fact, even in his opinion, he had to admit that Arreck's words made sense. Indeed, in many cases, the so-called glory was actually worthless. Nobles liked to use the sense of glory as the standard of all things in the world, but in Brando's opinion, this was at best a noble standard.
But he just thought about it, and didn't dare to say it out loud. He understood that he had such an idea because half of the soul in his body came from another era, and in the current Wohnde, Veronica's previous words were still relatively mainstream. Brando didn't want to be a non-mainstream, and didn't want to be taught a lesson by this army commander in private, so he wisely chose not to be entangled with him on this issue.
But this didn't mean that he agreed with Arreck's view.
"Arreck, the Black Iron generation can control their own destiny, but it doesn't mean that you can control the destiny of others. Whether this world is right or wrong, it's not up to you, and it's not up to All For One to say."
After Brando agreed to Devard's request, he returned to Veronica and the others wearing the Buni King's cloak. After passing through the Perpetual Extinction Square, they actually directly entered the Spiral Hall, but they were delayed a little while trying to find a way to open the door outside, so they entered the hall one step later than Arreck. But even so, they still heard the last words of Arreck and Milos.
Arreck looked at Brando with slight surprise, "It seems that you know my purpose very well, young man, but I never said whether what I think is right or not needs to be recognized by others. If you want to stop me, I'm afraid it's not that simple."
Brando had already seen the members of All For One who were drawing the magic circle in the center of the hall at a glance. He narrowed his eyes, the whole hall was exactly the same as he had seen in the game, except for the columnar crystal suspended above the throne. He carefully thought about it and confirmed that he had not seen anything similar. It seemed that this was indeed the first time the Holy Cathedral of the Hibernator was opened, and it was slightly different from the later generations.
"That crystal is a little strange, but there's nothing wrong with it. Our primary goal is not the magic circle in the center, but the star-shaped stone in Arreck's hand," he immediately reminded.
Veronica nodded, since the battle was inevitable, she did not hesitate and directly ordered, "Everyone, concentrate on attacking the magic circle in the center of the hall!"
Brando was slightly startled, and he couldn't help but look back at the female Legion Commander, but although the other party verbally gave such an order, her eyes never left Arreck. He thought for a moment and understood the thoughts of the female Legion Commander. Sure enough, Veronica immediately turned back and whispered to him, "Later, Mephistopheles and I will distract him, you and Miss Aloz will go and get the star-shaped stone."
Brando nodded, he had to admit that the Legion Commander of the Cruz people was indeed worthy of her reputation.
Veronica gave the order, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense. In fact, the military officers of the Cruz people had begun to spread out on both sides of the hall, standing on the bridge and shooting at the central platform with magic bows. Although these aristocratic Knights were usually pampered, most of them were at least in the Gold Realm, and under the preemptive strike, two of the believers of All For One fell to the ground immediately. One of them was shot in the face, and his whole head almost exploded like a smashed watermelon, while the other was pierced through the arm, but compared to the other, it was only a minor injury.
Only then did the cultists react, and propped up a magic shield on the platform, blocking the follow-up attacks. As soon as Brando saw the shield, he immediately understood that there was an Elemental Awakened Wizard on the platform. The Wall of Truth was at least an Eighth Circle spell. The effect of the spell was to forcibly separate the inside and outside of the wall into two different worlds, completely immune to all physical attacks. Even The Shire could not cast this spell. The witches who came here with him tried to cast a spell to dispel the spell, and without exception, all of them failed.
Since Brando could recognize it, it was naturally not difficult for Veronica and Mephistopheles. In their opinion, Arreck was indeed well-prepared. In a battle involving an Elemental Awakened, the combat power of those below the Gold Peak was almost meaningless. Of course, Brando was an exception. Before the Elemental Awakening, he had fought with Elemental Awakened enemies more than once, of course, that was also thanks to the Planeswalker System.
Veronica and Mephistopheles drew their swords at the same time, and floated up at the same time. The green and gray Lines of Law reflected each other. At this time, Brando found that the two were very compatible. One was a gray Sword Saint, the other a green Sword Saint. There was no grudge at all when they worked together, as if they had been partners for many years. Sometimes, old rivals could also be the best partners, because they knew each other too well. In his previous life, some people were keen on gossip about Veronica and Mephistopheles. Brando used to scoff at it, but today he had to believe the truth that the existence of any hot topic in The Amber Sword was inevitable.
As soon as Veronica and Mephistopheles joined the battle, the believers of All For One in the center of the platform suddenly became in danger. What a joke, in Brando's view, the Elemental Awakened Wizard hidden in the crowd was at most at the level of Elemental Awakening, and Veronica herself was at the peak of the Law. Greysword Saint-mephistopheles was even more amazing. He could almost be said to be the first existence to step into the Extreme Plains in the last fifty years of the Cruz Empire. The previous one was Her Majesty the Empress of Cruz, but that was also because of a special opportunity, and before that, there were only the real old monsters left.
Because when Veronica attacked, the Wizard could still barely hold on, but when Mephistopheles attacked, the magic shield suddenly fell apart, and all the believers on the platform were slapped out of thin air, and all the believers on the platform were slapped out of thin air, and one after another, they staggered.
Seeing the battle like this, Arreck couldn't help but say, "Mephistopheles!" He almost squeezed the name out from between his teeth. Although he had heard that Mephistopheles was hanging out with the young man, he didn't expect him to really pull down his face to help Cruz, which was somewhat beyond his expectations. But fortunately, he was not unprepared. He saw Arreck point forward with his cane, and five of the black-robed Knight behind him rose into the air.
Flying without the help of spells was the most obvious sign of Elemental Awakening, but Arreck actually had close to double digits of Elemental Awakening by his side, which made Brando wonder if the other party's position in All For One was too high, or the strength of All For One was too strong.
However, those Elemental Awakened existences were only at the level of Elemental Awakening, and together, they could barely suppress Veronica, but it was still impossible to challenge the current Ash Sword Saint. Arreck obviously understood this, and he had to take a step back and look at Ko Hua beside him, "Miss Ko Hua, I can only ask for your help."
Ko Hua didn't say a word, but just nodded indifferently.
But when she turned her head, there was a flash of light in the depths of her eyes that even Arreck couldn't detect.
Brando saw another person fly up from the group of All For One in less than a moment, and was sighing in his heart that Arreck had a lot of talents under him, but suddenly he realized that something was wrong. Looking up and taking a closer look, the conspicuous white hair and red eyes of Échis' eldest daughter were simply too eye-catching. Brando felt that something was wrong. Wasn't this the slightly dim Ko Hua? He was simply too familiar with her, the ice beauty of the Holy Cathedral of the Hibernator. Which player wouldn't know her? Not to mention that she was under the control of Dark Soul.
"I didn't expect Arreck to actually wake her up." Brando knew Ko Hua's strength. Although it was far inferior to his cheap teacher, Ko Hua was an ancient Twilight species and Échis' daughter. It could be said that her bloodline was pure, and not something that the two losers, Mayne and Meyr, could compare to. And as a BOSS, she had many special skills. If she was caught off guard, Veronica and Mephisto might really suffer a big loss. Thinking of this, he hurriedly reminded, "Be careful, teacher, Sir Legion Commander, that's Ko Hua!"
As soon as Brando spoke, he attracted Ko Hua's attention. Not many people knew her now, except for Arreck, and that was because the other party had seen her original body. But she didn't expect that someone on the enemy's side would recognize her in her human form at a glance. Although she was flying in the direction of Mephisto, she actually had other plans in mind. Now that her identity was called out, she was very angry.
The eldest daughter of Échis hated in her heart and immediately looked in the direction of Brando. But what she didn't expect was that Brando seemed to know her character very well. He pulled the little female dragon over first, then lifted the Concealing Cloak and covered the two of them tightly.
"Concealing Cloak!?" Ko Hua saw Brando's last move, and then the two of them completely disappeared. Ordinary invisibility spells couldn't escape her perception, but now she seemed to have completely lost Brando's breath. She was experienced and knowledgeable, so naturally she guessed what the other party had used.
But unfortunately, guessing was just guessing, it didn't mean that she had a way to break it. Buni was a god in her time who was on the same level as Milos, and was on the same level as her mother. The effect of his cloak was not something she could see through.
The girl secretly gritted her teeth and secretly remembered Brando's appearance in her heart. Then she turned around and continued to fly towards Mephisto.
Seeing that she turned and left, Brando, who was hiding under the cloak, was really relieved. What a joke, being targeted by a demigod-like existence was not a fun thing. Of course, Brando didn't know that he had been targeted, and thought that he had escaped. While he was relieved, he noticed that Aloz next to him had a look of disdain on her face.
"You dare to do it, but you don't dare to admit it." The little female dragon commented incisively.
That was a little arrogant. Brando stared at the little female dragon, "It seems that you still owe me a promise. Believe it or not, I want you to turn into a dragon and fly me over. Anyway, I'm going to trouble Arreck."
"You dare!" The little female dragon was shocked. Although there were often legends of the Dragon Knight in history, in fact, no dragon was really willing to be someone else's mount. Just like the Dragon Queen Angelica, her mount was just a pure-blooded flying dragon. If Brando really made her his mount, then she would have no face to return to the dragon clan in the future. Well, even if she had the face to return, the elders would skin her alive. Wouldn't that be a shame to the dragon clan?
Of course, although she was threatening on the surface, in fact, she was still a little scared in her heart. The dragon clan valued oaths. In their view, the contracts made under the stars were carried out under the witness of Bahamut, so they generally wouldn't make an oath easily. But once the oath was made, even a lazy guy like Shitah would have to stay in this desolate place for hundreds of years.
Previously, she thought that Brando would lose, so in a moment of excitement, she pulled Shitah and made a bet with Brando. Now, Shitah only needed to hand over the useless Heart of the Dragon — of course, in Aloz's view, it was useless — but she was unlucky. She didn't know what strange request Brando would make.
"Why wouldn't I dare? It's just whether I want to or not. So you have to be more respectful to me, understand? " Brando was simply too happy. During this period of time, he was tormented by this little female dragon. Now that he finally got his revenge, the feeling was simply too good to describe.
"Is this a request?" The little female dragon whispered.
"Of course not!"
"Then why should I respect you?"
"You can be disrespectful, but I can't guarantee that I won't remember making you my mount." Brando replied matter-of-factly.
"You …" Aloz's eyes were red. "You're despicable and shameless!"
"Same to you," Brando replied. "Well, I won't talk nonsense with you. Now come with me to ambush Arreck. If you get that star-shaped stone later, maybe you can use it to exchange for a request with me." He knew that if he blindly relied on threats, he was afraid that this little female dragon with a temper would not be so willing. But if he guided her patiently and systematically, she would definitely be fooled.
Sure enough, the little female dragon's eyes lit up because she found that Brando's words were quite reasonable. If she snatched the star-shaped stone first, she could use it to threaten Brando — if he dared to not withdraw the bet, she would detonate the star-shaped stone. Anyway, the worst case scenario was that they would all die together. Thinking of this, the little female dragon's eyes were filled with little stars for a moment. She felt that she was simply too witty.
Both of them had their own ulterior motives, but they could be considered to have reached an agreement. Buni's cloak had been used twice that day, and there was not much time left for it to last. So they immediately moved, and with the cloak, they carefully flew in the direction of Arreck while sticking close to the wall of the hall.
At this time, the battle in the hall had just reached its climax.
