Chapter 206 The Light of Praise!
A sharp dagger fell from the lifted skirt and split into thousands of swords the moment it touched the ground!
It’s an illusion!
Irene's expression was solemn, a golden light crawled along the hilt of the sword to her wrist, and rippled in a circle as she swung the blade in her hand.
The golden ripples were like thousands of galloping troops, dispersing the sword blades stuck on the ground and the thick fog that filled the surroundings!
Sitting on the branch, Sissi's eyes narrowed slightly, but the smile on her face did not change at all. Instead, she became more and more crazy.
"Giggle...it's interesting. You are much more interesting than that baron, so I will play with you for a while!"
As the words fell, her body leaned back slightly, like a light feather falling from the tree, and then transformed into a crow and flew into the forest.
Knowing that this guy was seducing her, Irene's eyes narrowed slightly, but she had an idea in her mind, and she simply followed the plan.
Her knees were slightly bent, and with a gentle inhale, her whole body was ejected like a cannonball. Her exquisite horse leather boots left two collapsed shoe prints on the frozen ground!
Obviously.
That little devil's identity in the Demon King's army is not simple.
If she can be captured alive, maybe she can be exchanged for the captured Baron Gus from the Demon King...if the latter is still alive.
Luo Yan, who was standing in the military formation, looked at Irene's movements in surprise, completely unable to connect this mighty image with the delicate princess.
It can only be said that the Kingdom of Lane is worthy of being the hometown of knights.
This guy's extraordinary power is only at the bronze level, but his strength may not be as simple as it appears. If he didn't use magic, he might not be able to win an arm wrestling match with her.
But——
Him He is a necromancer, why should he arm-wrestle with the knight?
Using his brain is what he is best at.
Watching Irene's retreating figure, Luo Yan got on his horse and shouted to the soldiers on the side.
"I'm going to help Her Royal Highness the Princess! Just hold on!"
Without waiting for the soldiers to answer, he stepped on the stirrup, grabbed the reins, turned the horse's head, and urged the horse to pursue Princess Irene.
But Luo Yan did not really go to help, but turned a corner halfway through the trees and fog, and disappeared under the shadow of the woods together with the people and horses.
On the other side, Irene quickly followed behind Sissi, while the latter deliberately lowered her height as if to tease her.
The two sides chased each other for a while, and soon reached the depths of the forest.
Sissi's figure, which landed on the branch, flashed and transformed into a human form in a burst of black light. At the same time, she threw three sharp daggers behind her.
Looking at the cold light flying towards her, Irene swung the long sword in her hand and knocked away the speeding dagger with a crisp sound of metal.
The dagger flying in the air suddenly stopped, as if being held by three invisible hands, and suddenly split into thousands of pieces again!
"Let me see how many hands you have."
Sisi, standing on the branch, had a mocking smile on her face, raised her right hand and snapped her fingers, and saw the millions of swords shooting at Irene standing in the woods like raindrops, leaving no room for the latter to dodge.
Looking at the thousands of sharp knives speeding towards her, there was no fear on Irene's face, but a faint smile curled up at the corner of her mouth.
She ignored the cold light that fell like raindrops, held the long sword in her hands with both hands, took a deep breath and swung it to the side.
Dang——!
With Irene Campbell's shout, the sound of metal clanging echoed in the forest, and dazzling sparks shot out from where the swords met.
Thousands of swords disappeared in an instant!
Instead, Sissi, holding a dagger in her hand, was flying in front of Irene, and an astonished expression gradually appeared on the former's face.
As for the person standing on the treetop, it seemed that it was just an illusion from the beginning. As the two swords, one long and one short, collided together, they disappeared without knowing when.
Erin didn't give her a chance to breathe. The sacred power wrapped around her body suddenly surged, and the sword wrapped in golden light slashed forward dozens of afterimages in an instant.
The slender blade is like a willow tree fluttering in the wind, and like a whistling windmill, it blows a raging wind in the forest!
The one-foot-long dagger let out an overwhelmed scream, broke into several pieces in just one breath, and turned into flying fragments and flew out.
Sixi jumped back using the strength, and just as her toes landed on the treetops, before she could stand still, another afterimage struck, splitting the branches under her into two pieces. Fortunately, she flapped her wings and quickly opened the distance. Otherwise, even if she could receive the blow, she would lose her balance because there was no fulcrum in the air to draw strength from.
Sword energy blew away the fog.
Looking at the half branch that fell on the snow, Irene breathed out softly, closed the sword blade in front of her chest, and looked at another tree branch ten meters away.
I saw the little devil wearing a white dress sitting on it. Although he still had a smile on his face, his tense eyebrows showed a hint of unpreparedness and embarrassment.
And this is indeed the case.
Thinking that she was forced to do this by a bronze-level swordsman, Sissi felt annoyed in her heart and her silver teeth gritted.
Where does this guy get such great energy! ?
But what made her most unbelievable was another thing.
“Can you see it?!”
She discovered it.
Her illusions had no effect on this guy from the beginning!
In order to deceive her, this guy deliberately used "Holy Dispel" even though he was not affected by the illusion.
Irene raised the corners of her mouth slightly, made a sword dance with the long sword in her hand, and nodded gracefully, just like a noble in a duel.
Seeing her relaxed look, Sissi felt an unknown fire in her heart, especially when she thought of this hateful surface human standing side by side with the Lord Demon King, and her scarlet eyes glowed with a bloodthirsty and naked light.
"Arrogant guy, who do you think you are? You're just a piece of bronze! An adventurer like you can't survive a second in my hands!"
Scarlet light bloomed out along her wings with an evil aura, as if even the surrounding space was distorted.
However, Irene, who was standing calmly in the forest, seemed not to have seen her. She still had an elegant smile on her face, and her golden bangs swayed slightly with the biting cold wind.
"What about you? Silver? Or gold? Is this all you can do? Even a bronze-level swordsman has to work hard. It seems that you have failed to live up to the power given to you by your demon god."
This modest and polite provocation may not seem to have any lethality, but it just hits the sensitive point of a certain little devil.
"Hehehe..." The charming smile on Sissi's face became brighter, and the murderous intent in her eyes became more intense.
However, she did not accept the other party's provocation and rush forward, because it was obvious that it was a trap set by the other party.
Provocative, right?
In terms of talking, the little devil has absolutely no reason to lose to humans!
The scarlet eyes narrowed slightly, and Sissi suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and spoke in a sinister voice.
"Speaking of which, who is that man next to you?"
Irene said with a smile.
“Guess.”
Sixi narrowed her eyes and said.
Sissi, who was sitting on the treetop, leaned back as if she had grasped the handle, covering her lips with the back of her hand and laughing.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it seems that I guessed it right. Let me guess, you haven't... done anything yet, right? Hahaha, after all, you hypocritical nobles like that kind of feeling of detachment, what I said Right? I guess I haven't even touched her, right? "
I have to say that her ability to quarrel is not even half that of Missy's, and her ability to provoke is even less than that of Yossi who can get on the table with just one sentence.
This attack method of injuring the enemy by 100 and damaging itself by 3000 did not allow Irene to break through the defense. Instead, it made her a little unable to withstand it at first. It even became more like a question than a taunt afterward.
Erin looked at the little devil talking to himself there inexplicably, and couldn't figure out what this guy was asking about there.
If you try to make her ashamed through dirty words, the damage is too small.
"I respect Mr. Colin very much, and I think he does too."
"Giggle, is it?" Sissi raised her sleeves and wiped the sweat from her forehead, pretending to be strong, and said viciously, "How about I try it for you, it will feel delicious, and I'll be right in front of you after I tie you up."
Irene suddenly laughed.
Taking action against that kind gentleman really touched her nerves a bit.
Just——
"What can you, a little devil, do?"
Sissi said angrily.
"I'll tear your mouth!!!"
The scarlet light turned into a spear that pierced the space, striking at Irene's face like lightning, as if to wipe her out of the universe, including her body and sword.
And Irene seemed to have been waiting for this moment for a long time, with golden light reflected in her emerald green eyes.
"The great ancestor, Angus Campbell, the commander of thousands of armies, the "Unyielding Wall" standing on the hills——"
"I call for your glory here!"
A golden light fell from the sky, protecting Eileen like a shield.
Read
That is another kind of power that is completely different from the "Holy Barrier"!
The six daggers clamped between her fingers hit the holy light firmly, and a trace of astonishment gradually flashed through Sissi's bloodthirsty and ferocious eyes.
She felt that what she stabbed was not Eileen Campbell's armor, but the shield wall built by thousands of troops on the hills!
It's going to happen!
As soon as a fleeting thought appeared in her mind, a terrifying energy was released from the towering and motionless shield!
The sudden burst of light was like thousands of spears thrust out from behind the shield wall, hitting Sissi's urgently retracted dagger with a devastating force.
「Boom——!」
The dust from the explosion blew in all directions, and dozens of pine trees were broken in half and collapsed on the snow in a cloud of dust.
The golden light gradually dimmed.
Looking at the messy woods and the snow that was almost upturned, Irene calmed her heaving chest, a bitter smile appeared on her face, and put the trembling cold light back into the scabbard.
"Let this guy run away..."
Sure enough, I still need to practice more.
Although she is still very young and has enough vitality to squander, she ultimately needs the matching strength to control this power.
The descendants of the Campbell family cannot always live in the glory of their ancestors...
…
On the other side of the forest, Sissi fell into the snow awkwardly after flying for a while. She lifted up her damaged sleeves and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.
That was not because she suffered any internal injuries, but because the shock wave of the explosion caught her off guard and she accidentally bit her lip.
"This female orangutan..."
I have never suffered such a great injustice. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She wanted to send someone over to deal with this guy.
Fighting alone is not what the little devil is good at.
Especially because that guy had the blessing of Saint Sith or something, but his own illusions were of no use to her at all!
At this moment, Sissi suddenly saw a familiar figure from the woods, and the grievance in her heart suddenly overflowed from her eyes.
But after all, she was still a demon who wanted to save face. She didn’t want the respected Demon King to see her in such a miserable state, so she flew in the opposite direction.
Luo Yan waited in the woods for a while, but instead of waiting for Sissi, he saw Missy flying towards him with flapping wings.
"Lord Demon King!"
"Keep your voice down."
Luo Yan glanced behind him subconsciously. Although it was far enough away from the battlefield, he still had to be cautious.
His chess game was almost finished, but he didn't want to be overturned by a group of fools at this moment, making what was originally a simple matter suddenly become troublesome.
After a pause, he said.
“Where is Sissi?”
Missy hesitated for a moment and lied carefully.
"Prince Sissi... um, suddenly saw a golden beetle, so she went to catch insects."
What the hell is catching insects?
Luo Yan’s head was covered with black lines.
However, he knew the nature of the little devil and didn't say much. He just sighed and said.
“Did she say anything to you?”
said Missy honestly.
"She said that the female orangutan holding the flashlight was a bit weird. She was obviously only at the bronze level, but when she recited a spell, she seemed to change into a different person. The aura on her body was scarier than her father's. Also, the king also said that the guy must be padded with something, but it's not that big..."
Luo Yan: "...?"
Looking at the incomprehensible Demon King, Missy, who was good at observing words and expressions, immediately closed her mouth and said tremblingly.
"In short, she told you to be careful about the woman named Irene Campbell. She is not a good thing, she is a very bad, very bad person."
Luo Yan said patiently.
"I see... Generally speaking, when the light of praise is activated, it will switch to another personality, right?"
Mixi nodded hurriedly.
"It seems so! If we attack in groups, the king will definitely be able to kill her, but you said this chess piece is still useful, so... the king went out alone to test her skills."
Luo Yan nodded and said majestically.
"Tell her for me that you have worked hard this time, and I will thank her in person later."
Mixi breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, with a joyful smile on her face.
"Great... Your Majesty has been out of energy recently. If you can praise her, she will be very happy."
Lack of energy?
Are you tired?
Could this idiot Alacdo have left all the work to others again and gone to be lazy on his own...
"Well, I know," Luo Yan nodded, and after a moment of pondering, he continued, "In a while, you will take some people, knock out the prisoners captured this morning and send them to a cave outside the city, and then do as I say..."
After listening to the Demon King's instructions, Missy showed a surprised expression on her face, and then nodded.
"Hmm! Leave it to us!"
Although she didn't know why the Demon King did this, she believed that this omnipotent demon must have his reasons.
Watching Missy's back disappear under the shadow of the pine forest, Luo Yan turned back to the place where the horse was tied before, untied the reins and turned over.
Looking at the animal with its head lowered tremblingly, he touched its mane and spoke softly in a gentle tone.
"I have to ask you to accompany me to get lost for a while."
While saying this, a purple light merged into the horse's face, and the originally clear eyes instantly became stupid.
Luo Yan rode it towards the depths of the woods, as if he was really lost...in this forest that he was familiar with and couldn't be more familiar with.
The battle in the distance is almost over.
Irene should know that it is impossible to capture the walled city of Beifeng Mountain with her small manpower.
Next, it’s time to meet Baron Gus.
