Chapter 318 Total War (7)

Then the android swung the sword, using the same power and the same move.

After hearing a roar, both of them took five steps back without any harm. The attack was evenly matched.

The big trees and the ground a few meters away from them were completely shaken to pieces by the impact of the collision of their fighting spirit.

Edward was not upset when he saw that the attack failed. He just took a deep breath and pounced again, but when the android faced Edward's attack.

Still unhurried, he pushed Edward back using exactly the same move as him.

If the two of them continue to fight as they are, the result will only be losses for both sides.

"Damn it, that guy actually thinks the same as me." Edward attacked again but his opponent forcefully pushed back.

"What? Are you feeling helpless? Why don't you put down the sword in your hand, and I will take good care of your bodies, hahahaha." That voice seemed to be able to see through Edward's heart, and it rang in Edward's ears again.

"Stop joking. I will never admit defeat."

Edward shouted immediately after hearing it.

But taking advantage of Edward's distracted moment, the android immediately rushed forward.

The sword in his hand stabbed his chest with the same lightning speed.

Caught off guard, Edward quickly raised his sword and blocked it without any move.

But at this moment, the android's originally sharp attack actually paused for a moment. Instead of continuing to attack Edward's flaw, he paused for a moment and then retreated.

Edward was keenly aware of something about the android's actions, so he immediately clenched the Shadow Oath in his hand and rushed forward.

The artificial man did not hesitate at all, and the sword in his hand did not pause at all. After injecting enough fighting spirit, he slashed a fierce fighting spirit at Edward, trying to repel Edward's attack.

There was a loud "boom" sound.

Edward actually didn't care about his opponent's fighting spirit at all, and rushed directly to the artificial man with a force that was as domineering as his own.

The artificial man stopped thinking that his opponent would make such a move and fell into a brief pause. Just at this moment of hesitation, Edward had already slashed at the artificial man's shoulder with his sword.

The android hurriedly waved his sword to block a move, but Edward's attack was just a bluff. What he wanted was for the android to block with his sword.

When the android's sword collided with Edward's sword, Edward immediately pressed the sword in his hand and then swung it with all his strength.

The android's sword was immediately thrown aside, and Edward took advantage of the situation and approached this difficult opponent.

Aiming at the enemy's chest, he struck with a fierce blow, causing the android to stumble back several meters.

Edward did not hesitate at all. When he had just stood firm, he charged again with a sword in his left hand and an elbow strike with his right hand, hitting the android's face hard.

At the same time, his feet were not idle. At the moment when the android was beaten by his own elbow, he jumped lightly and pressed his knees on the opponent's shoulders, and then pushed him down hard on his body.

Down.

"You're done."

Edward said as he raised his Shadow Oath high, preparing to deliver the final blow to the android beneath him.

But at this moment, Edward hesitated, feeling a little dazed in front of his eyes. No matter from any angle, this artificial man was exactly the same as himself, and killing him was like killing himself.

The sword in Edward's hand trembled a little and did not fall in time.

And the moment Edward hesitated, he saw a cold light flash in the eyes of the artificial man.

Only a loud "boom" was heard, and the artificial man used his fighting spirit to completely shatter the ground beneath him.

Edward, who was caught off guard, was thrown several meters away by the flying debris and the android's fighting spirit.

The artificial man also took advantage of this gap and immediately flew over to attack. Edward was already seriously injured due to the previous attack of his opponent's fighting spirit. Then he was knocked away by his opponent's fighting spirit again. It can be said that the injury was added to the injury.

, after barely blocking several attacks from the android, he obviously felt exhausted.

Not long after, Edward's sword was almost knocked away by his opponent, but even though he managed to keep the sword in his hand, there were several wounds on his body, and the dripping blood had now dyed his body red.

In desperation, Edward chose to retreat temporarily.

Edward used his last remaining fighting energy to stab into the ground, stirring up countless fragments, and then successfully escaped into the woods.

"What a pity. You had a chance just now, but your weakness harmed you." The voice sounded again, and continued with a slight sarcasm, "The artificial man I made is the most perfect, he will not

Bound by any feeling. You cannot be his opponent at the moment. There is only one way to defeat him, but naturally I will not tell you."

Edward no longer had the energy to pay attention to that voice. He knew that his opponent knew his position well.

So the top priority now was to recover. He quickly tore off his shirt and bandaged several wounds on his arms and waist.

Perhaps due to excessive bleeding, Edward had begun to feel dizzy.

It didn't take long for the android to find his location.

Since there was not much fighting spirit left in his body, he did not dare to confront his opponent head-on. With no choice, Edward could only fight and retreat.

Soon Edward was forced back to the original clearing by the android.

"Cang!" There was another heavy blow. Although Edward barely deflected the sword, a wound with visible bone damage was left on his shoulder.

However, Edward gritted his teeth and covered the wound, and kicked his opponent several meters away with all his strength.

The android he kicked away didn't give him much time to breathe. After steadying his steps, he charged forward again.

Edward instinctively wanted to dodge the blow at this moment, but unfortunately, his movements had become slower and slower. He had lost too much blood, and now even his vision began to become blurry.

"Is this the only way we can stop? I'm really unwilling." Edward didn't know what was going on, but the thought of giving up kept appearing in his mind.

But at this moment, Edward saw the unconscious Ellie lying on the ground not far from him...

"No matter what happens, I will protect you. This is my promise to you." The scene when he and Ellie set out for Oron together suddenly appeared in Edward's mind.

"What's wrong? Are you planning to give up?" Seeing that Edward didn't react at all to the attack from the android, the voice rang again.

"Are you kidding? I, Edward Trendo, have never had the habit of admitting defeat. Even if I die, I will fight to the last moment, for the dignity of my warrior and for the promise I made." Edward gritted his teeth and stood hard.

Got up.

At the same time, the android's sword was already close at hand.

"This is the final blow!" Edward roared, swinging the sword in his hand at an incredible speed.

With a light blue fighting spirit, Edward's Shadow Oath not only smashed the android's sword into pieces, but also cut the android into two pieces.

"I won." Edward uttered the last words before finally losing consciousness and fainting.

"You did a great job, Golden Mercenary Edward Trendo. You saw the biggest flaw of the androids at the last moment.

Once people have something to protect, they will become stronger and stronger enough to create miracles, which is something that artificial humans without emotions cannot do.

I hope you can remember how you feel now, and it will help you overcome countless difficulties in the near future." A blond woman wearing a dark green magic shawl slowly walked out of the woods.

That woman was none other than Elesis, who had a prophetic eye.

She slowly walked to Edward's side, and with a silvery-white light, the wounds on Edward's body began to heal quickly.

Soon, not only did the wounds on his body disappear, but even the damaged armor and coat were intact.

Elesis glanced at Edward again, then took out a crystal that shimmered with countless colors from the pocket on her waist, and hung it carefully around Edward's neck.

"This is the Crystal of Light, it will be of great help to you soon.

Pioneer of Light, I hope you can really help Merlin survive the upcoming disaster and bring this world back on track from its imminent destruction."

——

At the foot of Xirei Mountain, the rebel camp.

Edward was sitting alone on the windowsill at the moment, constantly playing with the crystal of light that Elesis left around his neck.

Everything that has happened recently is incredible. The strangest thing is that no one except Edward can remember what happened that day. The only impression is that everyone fell into a coma for some reason.

If it weren't for the crystal around his neck, it would be hard for even Edward himself to believe that all of that really happened.

However, Edward did not tell anyone about the crystal. He vaguely felt that the person who gave him the crystal was different from the owner of the voice.

Although he had lost consciousness at the time, the words spoken by that voice were still clearly engraved in his mind.

"Pull this world back on track from the fate of imminent destruction." Edward looked at the mysterious crystal in front of him and kept repeating Elesis's last words, "Did that guy make a mistake? Save

The world? I’m not that great. I just want to live freely.”

"Edward, get ready to go." Ellie's voice came from outside the door, sounding a little anxious.

Edward quickly put the crystal away and hung it around his neck, then turned over and jumped off the window sill, turned around and opened the door.

In fact, as early as two weeks ago, Ellie suddenly received a magical carrier pigeon sent by Merlin. The message conveyed was very simple, asking her and Edward to go to the core of lava in the five forbidden areas of Sebion to help him find an extremely important thing.

something.

Although it was not Merlin's habit to seek help from others, after carefully examining the magic fluctuations on the magic pigeon, Ellie determined that the magic pigeon was a magical creature summoned by Merlin himself.

This surprised Edward quite a bit.

Because the matter was so important, Edward immediately called Bogosi and others to discuss it.

After the three people entered Edward's room, Edward directly threw the note in his hand to them without saying much.

After the three of them read it, they all showed surprised expressions, and then they all frowned and said nothing.

After a long time, Bogosi, who got the note, finally spoke: "Are you sure this is true? The core of lava is one of the five forbidden places in Sebion."

"Ellie has identified that the magic wave carried by the carrier pigeon is indeed Merlin's." Edward said calmly.

"But it's okay if you go to such a dangerous place. Why is it that even Ellie... Although she is very powerful, she is just a novice, Merlin is not afraid that something will happen to his precious apprentice?" It was Xilu who spoke this time.

, he picked up the note Bogosi put down and read it again, and then said.

"Although I don't know what the teacher means, there must be a reason why the teacher is so divided.

I believe what my teacher says, so if I go, I must go with Edward." Before Edward could speak, Ellie on the other side expressed her opinion first, and everyone immediately fell into deep thought.

The problem is obvious. The combat effectiveness of Edward and Ellie plays a very important role in the current resistance. Not to mention Edward's tyrannical strength, Ellie, a sixth-level magician, is worth more than a thousand soldiers on the battlefield.

Elite troops of men.

You must know that in the Saibian continent, the number of human magicians is very rare compared to warriors, and high-level magicians are even rarer.

Usually the level of magicians is only around level 4, and the cost of training is extremely high. Magic geniuses like Merlin and Ellie are rare among ordinary humans only once in a hundred years.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, magicians of the same level are often respected much more than warriors of the same level in one place. The saying that rare things are more valuable also explains this problem to a certain extent.

Although Bogosi had enough reasons and methods to convince Edward to stay, after all, Edward was also a soldier who grew up in the mercenary kingdom, and he had no reason to abandon his hometown and leave.

But at this moment, he thought of another question, which was the source of the letter.

How important is it that even the Great Mage needs help from someone?

This problem troubled Bogosi. In his impression, magicians, especially high-level magicians, felt to him like omnipotent gods.

Often problems that several high-level warriors cannot solve can be easily solved by a magician of similar level to them.

If even the Great Mage cannot handle it on his own, is it possible that the continent will be destroyed?

Impossible, this is absolutely impossible.

Bogosi immediately shook his head, trying to forget the somewhat ridiculous idea.

However, I don't know why, that strange thought always lingers in Bogosi's mind.

Is something terrible really going to happen? Bogosi calmed down for a moment, and finally said: "Edward, I think you should take Ellie to find Merlin." Bogosi's words immediately shocked everyone present.

Startled.

After all, the strength of the two of them can be said to be the most fundamental guarantee for the resistance to survive under the pressure of the Phylicians and the mercenary kingdom rebels. If they leave...

On one side, Xilu had closed his eyes, as if he didn't want to continue discussing this issue.
