Chapter 974

"aaahhhh ——!!!"

"Eugen" who rose from the flames did not even wait for his body to "recover" completely, only withered. The right hand of the white bone has already brandished a long knife, so he pounces on the black hair wizard.

Wrapped in the freezing snow, face to face with Loren!

"Dang——!"

The big sword collided with the long knife, and the resonance of the sharp blade impact shattered the ice covered by the blade; the increasingly impatient black hair wizard flashed across his face Impatient, turned out "Bright Silver" with his left hand.

"Get out of the way!"

The sword glow of gray and blue passed through the gap between the two sharp blades and directly penetrated Eugen's throat.

pu!

Eugen's head posture was strangely raised, his neck broke at the sound, and his head fell like a skin.

The sword glow constructed purely by Void Power is not steel, and the only end of it passing through is to blow up to pieces!

Push down, stab!

Immediately before landing, the stubborn face of the chief of the court was passed through the center by the sword glow, splashing around like a balloon filled with water, and fragments and bone scum were sprayed everywhere.

The torso without the head is like a puppet with no thread. The long knife is immediately released, and the "Dawn" sword that has lost its blocking is directly slashed from top to bottom.

"Bang——!"

The tip of the smashed sword exploded a piece of smoke, and the black hair wizard withdrew half a step, and took out the last bottle of alchemy bomb from his waist. .

Always carry a few bottles of alchemy bombs or ignitors... This is still a habit that the little wizard made himself keep when he was at Wimpal Academy.

Boom——!

The fire exploded, and Eugen, who was divided into two, was left with charred bones all over the floor.

Very good... This will probably drag him for five or six minutes, which is almost enough.

relaxed, the black hair wizard turned and ran towards the wizard tower again.

But at the moment of turning around, a touch of being stared at stimulated the back of his neck, cold and biting.

Clenched the teeth, Loren immediately fell one-knee kneels, and with a sound of "peng!", he plunged the "Dawn" sword into the ground, acting as a shield in front of him.

next moment, the cold wind is blowing!

The cold wind mixed with ice and snow is like a hurricane, spreading around the location where the alchemy bomb just exploded; the violent wind smashed all the surrounding houses, ruins and rubble; it was frozen. The ice layer is like eroding skin toxins, spreading little by little around on the ground.

In the blink of an eye, a large area of ​​ruins around the black hair wizard has completely turned into Snow and Ice World.

Even the "Dawn" sword that was inserted upside down on the ground was covered with a thick layer of ice and snow, and it couldn't move!

"Ah...ah...uh...ah...ah..."

In a icy mist, Eugen stumbling under his feet, his tattered body was completely covered. Covered with ice, the gap in the long knife in his hand was also filled by ice, and the terrifying cold air followed his footsteps and approached Loren.

This terrifying void reaction...it definitely opened up the "state of mind".

A more direct description is that the "suspected zombie" Eugen in front of him is more than a grade stronger than before.

Looking at Eugen shrouded in icy mist, Loren was tired and sighed, and with a bright silver "peng!" The sword is on his shoulders.

Hoo——————

The cold current of lasing hits with Eugen’s blade, and Loren’s right hand leaping up in place raises the big sword high, wrapping it down. The forces smashed to Eugen.

"No! Give it to me! It's endless!"

……………………………………

"Boom ......"

A huge explosion sounded continuously, and even the nine-pointed star wizard tower could clearly feel the shaking of the earth.

In the silent tower, the Eboden garrison and civilians are evacuating with inexplicable expressions of horror; no one speaks, no one pushes and crowds, and they line up in an orderly way into the underground channel entrance .

Lu Sien, with a solemn expression, stood aside, and took the remaining Fiend Hunters in charge of maintaining order...Although all he had to do was just watching from the sidelines.

This is the last batch.

Some of them are reinforcements from Lothar or Elman, some are Legion soldiers left over from the war, some are Knights by Byrne, and some are civilians who have participated in the war...

Stay at the end because most of these people are "veterans" who have experienced more than one battle-if the enemy launches a surprise attack, they can at least stop the enemy's attack and allow those who retreat in front to have time to escape.

Although it’s cruel to say that, it’s the truth...Whether it’s charging the first row or leaving behind to block the enemy when retreating, there will never be a shortage of people on the battlefield to sacrifice.

Of course, not everyone can have this kind of awareness and can take the initiative to stay and sacrifice for others; the reason why the Eboden garrison and the tens of thousands of civilians do not have the arrangement of Loren Torino There is only one reason for objection.

That is Loren Torino...their commander, fighting the enemy alone outside the fort, buying time for them.

Be the first to take the lead...Sometimes, it really only needs such a reason to get the whole army up and down, like an arm.

The gray pupil with a complex expression sighed and moved his gaze to the gate of the wizard tower, only to find Corona standing alone in front of the gate, looking thoughtful at the foot of Master Bandelke. Under the magic array.

"Corona Master......" Slightly startled, Lu Sien stepped forward somehow: "This is the last group of evacuated troops, we should go."

Corona slowly exhaled, his squinted eyes looked at the city that had been turned into ruins outside the door.

"If this is the case, then you go quickly, Lord Lucien." Corona said indifferently very calmly: "I...I will stay here."

Um?

Huh? ! ! !

The gray pupil face changed, suddenly realized what the Eboden consul in front of him had just said, and he was shocked. Opened the mouth and said: "Corona Master, it’s not your stubbornness now Or nostalgic time!"

"Master Loren is still fighting the enemy outside, and His Royal Highness Brandon and his giant dragon are trying to contain the enemy and buy time for us. At this time..."

p>

"Still, someone must stay."

Turning back abruptly, Corona and the gray-eyed boy stared at each other, the scorching eyes startled him:

"I am a wizard, Your Excellency Lucien, I do not rely on my sensibility but rational thinking. The choices I make will never be the result of impulse."

"Yes, but..."

"No, but you'll know if you look outside the door." Corona shook his head: "Five days of bloody battles, the entire Eboden was soaked in blood— —Don’t forget that this is the city of wizards. The void response and remnants are stronger than any city in the empire."

"In fact, I can feel it now...The blood sacrifice has already begun, I'm afraid it will continue. It won’t take long for a brand new Evil God puppet to be born in the Valley of Skeletons everywhere!"

"Someone must stand up and prevent it from becoming an elven reinforcement, so that 60,000 or more elven warriors can be able to Leave Eboden and attack the retreating army."

"And I, I am the only person in this wizard tower with this ability." Speaking of this, Corona could not help. paused, but still mustered the courage to say softly:

"Because I have created a perfect blood sacrifice ceremony once."

The air suddenly became quiet.

The shocked Lucien suddenly lost his voice, not knowing what to do.

In the silent hall, only the sound of orderly footsteps can be heard echoing in the hall of the wizard tower.

Looking at the shocked expression of the gray pupil, Corona smiled calmly: "So please take the last group of people and leave as soon as possible. The Evil God puppet will leave it to me to deal with it."

p>

"Perhaps good luck...I can still retreat with Loren Torino-I am very confident in the Duke of Byrne. It is definitely not a problem for him to bring me such a cumbersome old man."

The silent Lucian looked at Corona's calm but powerful eyes and did not refute.

"...I see." Sighed then said gently, the gray-eyed boy respectfully bowed to the old man and walked back, but his eyes never left the other person:

"I will let the team stay ten kilometers outside the city of Eboden for a while to rest, waiting for you and Lord Loren to return."

Corona smiled and nodded and watched him leave.

Until Lucien's silhouette disappeared in the passage, and there was no one in front of the gate of the wizard tower, Corona slowly retracted his gaze and looked around at everything around him.

The look of nostalgia unconsciously revealed from the corner of his eyes.

No matter how decisive, no matter how rational...for an old man who has lived for three generations, more than a hundred years old, he must always leave his "home" where he lives, studies, studies, and explores...

"How much... I still feel a little bit reluctant."

The whispered Corona threw away the wand supporting his body and stood in the center of the Rubik's Cube.

The moment he closed his eyes, something in his body seemed to be "opened".

In the next second, the blood under Corona's skin began to flow faster, white hair, eyebrows and beards fell off one after another, and thick and delicate brown curly hair quickly grew.

The wrinkled skin becomes more and more delicate and smooth, the pure white as jade cheeks are faintly flushed, and the hands shrink with the body, and the thin and withered fingers become short. Meaty.

When I opened my eyes again, Lorenz Corona in the center of the magic array had changed from a dying old man to a boy who was only eleven or twelve years old!

The bright pupils are as bright as a transparent gem.

Considering his recovery of his "young" body, Corona's eyes bloomed with nostalgic brilliance, as if he brought back some memories from the past.

In my impression, the first time I met Loren Torino, I used this image, right?

Time...It's so fast. Trifling will be shocked by the wizard apprentice a few years ago. Now it has become the key to supporting the future of the entire wizard world.

Is all this a coincidence, or is it an end that Eckhart had already anticipated?

Corona was startled in thought and couldn't help laughing.

Yes, no matter which kind, it has nothing to do with me...just like Fresswalker who left his hand, safely handing the future of mysticism into the hands of Isaac Grantham.

"The growth of age will make us gradually lose the consciousness of being'human' and become eager to die?"

The tender and gentle voice sounded, the leisurely science Ronal shook his head slightly: "My friend, Fresswalker... In the past several decades, your understanding and mastery of Void Power has really stagnated a lot."

"I can't forget you, but I have forgotten all of them. Now...I’m one year older than you."

…………………………………………

In the city of Eboden occupied by the ice , The face of the black hair wizard who had just escaped the "Eugen" blade was sinking.

I really have reached the limit.

Twenty days of hard fighting, ten days of sleepless battles, the body and spiritual palace have been forced to the critical point... He now knows very well that as long as one more high-level spell is used, he can faint directly. past.

Of course, this is not my first hard fight. I have had similar experiences many times before; Farnesis, Martial Goddess, Seyol, Chacal...

Usually At this time, Loren would choose to open the valve without the slightest hesitation, first resolve the previous negative situation, defeat the enemy on the opposite side, and then slowly recover.

But not anymore.

With the help of a young Evil God named "Asriel", he opened the second valve...The good thing is that once it is opened, there should not be many rivals in this world, just like in the past The "Black Duke" of "The Black Duke";

The disadvantage is that if you do it yourself, you will directly give Seror a coordinate in the void, and let this "Black Cross" who was exiled by his own desperation. Can come back again.

Unless it’s really as a last resort, Loren really doesn’t want to face that guy a second time...

Facing the oncoming "Eugen" In the snow storm that was engulfed by him, Loren had to set up the "Dawn" sword and held "Bright Silver" with his left hand.

As soon as the big sword blocked the storm, the grey blue sword glow swept away!

Eugen, who didn't know how to dodge, was directly beheaded, and his head flew seven or eight steps away.

Seizing the opportunity, Loren right hand picked up the hilt of the "Dawn" great sword, mixed with broken ice particles, and smashed the broken "Ou Gen" out!

Bang——!

The tattered body flew out like a cannonball. After hitting the ice, it slid for a while before finally stopping. The torso and limbs of all split up and in pieces, before landing It disintegrated.

The furthest fragment is even missing.

But this state doesn't seem to last even for one minute... It's just that in the blink of an eye, the fragmented "Eugen" staggered up again, dragging his trembling body towards him.

Is it over? !

Loren gritted his teeth with a long weary sigh.

Really, there is nothing to do?

Hold him...Even if it only made him unable to move temporarily, and was temporarily held back by something, it would be good to buy yourself a few minutes...

Huh? !

At that moment, the faintly dazzling rays of light ingested into the eye sockets, causing Loren to subconsciously squint his eyes and take a half step back.

At that moment, a dazzling light beam suddenly fell from the sky and crossed his vision;

At that moment, a second sun rose on the earth...

"Boom————!!!!"
