Chapter 618: Killing From the Past to the Future
I don't know if the giant's heart is powerful enough, or if Arthur's own strength is strong enough.
Arthur's injuries fully recovered before the plate of "Copper Pot Roast Giant Offal" was finished.
——He was originally broken into ice-cracked porcelain, but now his body has returned to its original state.
But even so, Arthur's expression remained calm and indifferent.
He was silent when he was desperate, silent when he charged, silent when he won, silent when he was in pain, and now after recovering, he was still silent and as quiet as winter.
After finishing his comments and suggestions to Aiwass, he became silent.
It seems that apart from telling his teachings, he usually doesn't have anything to say.
After finishing his meal, he wiped his oily mouth with his right arm. Arthur got up and walked to the window.
Arthur stared out the window with his cold silver-gray pupils, watching the downpour of blood dye the water of Avalon blood red like an inverted river.
"In the future, I will protect this land."
Suddenly, Arthur spoke up: "But sometimes, I wonder if this would be the wrong thing to do."
He didn't look back at Aiwass.
But Aiwass knew that this was not just talking to himself. Arthur - or the incarnation of the "Silver Crowned Dragon" is talking to himself.
Aiwass did not respond immediately, so Arthur continued: "Promises made must be kept, and promises made must be kept. Power is built on trust, and power without trust is like power that is not feared.
"But if the initial direction is wrong, a king should also change the direction. There will always be someone who should bear the responsibility of turning the direction, just as there will always be someone who pays the price for deciding the direction."
Aiwass remained silent.
And Arthur finally turned around and looked at him.
He was not looking at Sir Helechin, but seemed to see something inside through him.
"You are very good."
Arthur said: "He can be the king of Avalon."
"...That's not necessary."
Aiwass finally spoke: "Perhaps my child will sit on the throne one day...but I will not. I will always be the knight she loves.
"Note: Knights do not seize the throne."
This is one of the mottoes left by Lancelot I, the first monarch of Avalon.
"——Not bound by the throne."
Arthur then read the second half of the proverb.
He took a deep look at Aiwass.
The silver-gray pupils are reminiscent of snowy winters, frozen lakes, or the silver-gray of sword blades.
"You still have a chance."
Arthur said: "But it will be gone after the wedding. When you make a vow, words will become shackles."
The meaning of the Silver Crowned Dragon is very clear.
Now Aiwass can still seize Isabel's throne - and this act is even recognized by him. But after Aiwass swears not to betray Isabel at the wedding, this behavior will be regarded as breaking the oath.
Weddings are also one of the rituals performed by candle celebrants, while wedding rings and wedding vows belong to the domain of the Silver Crowned Dragon. Under the witness of at least two pillar gods, those words could not be regretted.
But Aiwass just shook his head: "If you really love her, you don't have to wait for the wedding to be witnessed by the boss. Every word is a promise."
"……Yeah."
Arthur was silent for a long time and shook his head slightly: "I don't understand what love is."
Aiwass looked up at Arthur in astonishment, but Arthur just looked back calmly with indifferent eyes.
"Everyone is the eternal self, and everyone is the snake father. But I am not - I only have the aspect of the snake father, and I have lost the eternal self."
"...Is the side of you that is consistent with me in another person?"
Aiwass asked subconsciously.
As soon as he asked the question, he felt like he was being a bit mean--
But fortunately, the Silver Crowned Dragon is indeed indifferent and not easily angered.
Arthur didn't care about Aiwass's disrespect at all, but replied seriously and unexpectedly: "Yes, there is nothing to gain without giving up.
"I can offer all this for my great cause, but what are you willing to give up?"
Aiwass was stunned for a moment and did not answer immediately.
Arthur sighed: "Think about it.
"——I'll wait for you to come back."
And the next moment, the scene in front of Aiwass suddenly disappeared——
He was not inside Carstening Pancod's Pancod temple, but outside!
Aiwass was still hovering in the sky on his Pegasus and had not yet charged towards the temple. But the temple was still intact, and it didn't emit that kind of strange ripples.
……what's the situation?
Aiwass was shocked.
"Is it an illusion?"
He looked at the Night Demon next to him.
The Night Demon shook his head: "No, Master. I also have that memory... about Arthur's memory."
Aiwass thought for a moment and then understood: "I understand..."
He remembered that at the beginning of the promotion ceremony, the Lord of Scales and Feathers said: Heleqin is a natural prophet who can get fragments of the future from dreams.
The "Arthur" he saw just now was "the future in Helechin's eyes"!
Maybe Carstenning is not dead at this moment, or maybe the Pancaulds are already living here at this time. But Arthur obviously hasn't been caught here yet.
I don't know since when, I have fallen into the hallucination of predicting the future.
Or……
This promotion ceremony is not that the Lord of Scales and Feathers "brutally stitched two eras", but that Heleqin can travel between the present and the future in the form of illusion!
He will die after all.
Just like the future he foresaw... he will eventually die in Avalon and be beheaded, creating the history of "Beheading Valley".
But his death will destroy the giant kingdom of Alctoros.
In other words...
Aiwass needs to experience death in reality and complete his promotion task...
On the other hand, he needs to defeat the Supreme in the "future"!
This is not just Heleqin's personal history, but the history of Heleqin and the Knights of the Round Table overlapping!
"... In this case, I have to finish my task quickly."
Aiwass felt a sense of urgency in his heart.
Because I don't know when... maybe when the Supreme is hooked up, I won't be able to complete the rest of the task.
But at this moment, Aiwass's ears moved slightly, but he heard angry shouts from afar.
——Someone is fighting!
Aiwass's heart moved, and he let Tianma fly over with him.
As a dragon knight, Heleqin should be a superhuman at the peak level of the fifth energy level. He is obviously more than 500 years old, so he is most likely a successor.
Perhaps it is the role of inheritance that strengthens his five senses. In the rainstorm, even a superhuman of the fifth energy level can hardly hear the sound of fighting in the distance at this distance - but Heleqin has the ability to "hear the screams".
He relies on such power to save others!
Tianma turned around and ran, and soon crossed a distance of three kilometers. At this time, Aiwas, who saw the sky-high flames from afar, finally realized the source of the sound.
It was a battle between a lizardman warrior carrying a heavy object and a giant burning with flames.
Rather than a battle, it is better to say that it is a one-sided slaughter.
The lizardman warrior is extremely powerful - his speed is faster than that of the great guardian, and his swift and agile power is born for killing. It is undoubtedly a superhuman of the fifth energy level.
There is just one difference.
The Great Guardian held a golden weapon in his hand, while the weapon in the hands of the Lizardman Warrior could only be called "remnant".
It could not survive the giant's raging flames and had been burned into residue that was not even a dagger.
The long-handled metal axe in the giant's hand was burning with flames, and he was also burning with scorching flames.
It looked like a huge scarecrow burning blazingly - the long-handled axe in his hand was as light as a sickle.
As they fought, the uncontrolled flames spread everywhere. In the blood rain, a blood mist with a pungent smell was steaming.
[That's Origen, my most trusted deputy]
A sad whisper with a hollow echo sounded from the bottom of Aiwas' heart.
At the same time as Aiwas arrived, the giant easily blocked the attack of the brown-red lizardman warrior.
It was not a martial art - but the flames that emerged out of thin air condensed into a lava shield in the air, blocking the attack of the flying lizardman warrior.
Then, a horizontal column of lava gushed out!
It drew a parabola and sprayed the lizardman warrior far away on a mountain in the distance.
——Lava reflection shield!
Aiwass was too familiar with this mechanism. When trying to attack the opponent at the wrong time, as long as the attack is a critical hit, he will be directly knocked out of the field by the lava reflection shield!
This mechanism, this appearance... This is exactly the "Wildfire Giant" Utgarochi!
This is also the original appearance of Cardinal Loki!
"Be careful, master."
The Night Demon became serious and blocked Aiwass: "He is the sixth energy level."
... It's actually the sixth energy level?
Aiwass's heart tightened, but then he understood-this is reasonable. With the degree of protection of the Supreme Heaven, what the Pope has, his Patriarch should also have.
"I'll go save people first."
Aiwass said quickly.
The voiceover in his mind before sounded so sad that it seemed as if Origen had died on the spot... But Aiwass could see clearly that Origen was not dead at this time.
That was a fifth-level warrior! A warrior with thick skin and flesh!
In the era when there were still "warrior" professions, this was undoubtedly the first main tank!
He was hit by lava and flew two kilometers to the mountain... As long as he was rescued in time, he would definitely be saved!
Even if this was not a mission to transcend the Tao, Aiwass could not bear to hear such a tone that he could only watch people die and was powerless.
Julia was also given a death notice in this way.
Aiwass believed... In another world line, in the world line where Aiwas chose to become an archbishop, he must have embarked on the path of dedication for this reason.
Unlike Arthur in the room before, Origen was flown to the mountain!
In the mountain, it means there are trees here!
The Night Demon had already stabilized the hatred without even doing anything. Although the giant had a furious expression and crazy eyes, he seemed to have a clear mind. His eyes only stayed on Aiwass for a short moment, and then focused directly on the Night Demon.
The Night Demon flew out directly, clasping her hands together. Countless shadow hands emerged from the void on her body.
Utgarochi did not attack directly.
He just raised his hands and shouted in the vicissitudes of giant language: "Great Supreme God!
“Inflict divine punishment on the enemies who kill your people——”
There are no rituals, no prayers, no sacred vessels. Not even mana was consumed.
With just a shout, the sky stained red by the blood rain suddenly split open——
It was like the dark cloud that the night demon summoned to rain blood was suddenly torn apart by some greater force.
A huge golden-red gap like an "eye" suddenly appeared in the sky.
It was like a wisp of the setting sun, or like a wound cut open by a knife, with bone-deep wounds visible.
The center of the "eye" cast an angry look at Night Demon.
The next moment, a huge rumbling sound came from the sky——
From the center of that eye, countless huge burning meteors were projected, and they suddenly descended on the entire battlefield!
