Lord of War

In the dark cave, two people were leaning against the stone wall in the cave.

Light blue flames floated in the air.

This is the only light source in this cave.

Through this light source, one can vaguely see that these two people are in a state of embarrassment, and there are countless scars on their bodies. According to normal logic, if a person has so many dense wounds of different sizes, he must have become a corpse long ago, but looking at the undulating chests of these two people, it is obvious that these two people have not become corpses. It's just like this, it's really surprising, what a fierce battle it took to leave so many scars on the body.

"You're still alive." In the cave, there was a soft sound suddenly.

The sound was not loud, but in this silent cave, it seemed unusually loud.

"Nonsense." After a while, an extremely weak voice responded.

It's just that in this place where there is no light and lacks the sense of time flow, the time after a while seems to be a bit long, so that it feels like the conversation between the two is taking place across a time and space.

"What kind of enmity is there between you guys? I've been staring at you for two full years, and I still won't give up." The hearty voice sounded again, but this time the tone was a little more curious, "The last few days The few people who appeared in the sky, although their personal strength is not weak, but they are very skilled in combat skills and coordination, these guys are no easier to deal with than those two tin cans."

Tin can, usually a derogatory term for a knight in full armor.

It's just that in recent years, the St. Joels Empire in the southern continent has become stronger and stronger, and this country is also famous for having the most knights. Therefore, such slurs are becoming less and less common. Now, this derogatory term is generally used to refer to knights from the St. Joels Empire.

"Those are the dark knights. Special knights who belong to the Judgment Knights and are responsible for fighting in the abyss." The weaker voice fell silent for a long time. Then he said, "Because you have been fighting in the abyss for a long time, you are also very good at dealing with demons.... Although you are a demon god, as long as you have not left this material world, you will not be able to use the power of the void to temper your body for a day. As a real demon god, it is relatively easy for them to deal with you."

It can be called a demon god, and it is also in the main plane of Miracle Continent. There is only one person in the whole world.

The Confessor. Edward.

And the one who walked with the confessor Edward was naturally Diane, a follower of Enkos.

Since the two joined hands that time, in the next two full years, the two sides have fought almost all over the entire Western Continent.

But what Ziggs didn't expect was that the cooperation between Diane and Edward became more courageous as they fought, and the improvement in strength reached an unimaginable level. In the beginning, the combination of Ziggs and Nazar could suppress Diane and Edward, basically winning the majority, but after all, both sides are legend-level powerhouses, unless they are determined to fight to the death. Or have an absolute advantage. Otherwise, neither side is absolutely sure that they can kill each other.

It was precisely because of this that even though they were being chased and beaten, Edward and Diane were still able to fight back occasionally. Both Ziggs and Nazar were also in a state of embarrassment. Even once, Nazar was almost killed by Edward.

In this way, for more than a year, the relationship between the hunter and the prey has been constantly changing.

Until Edward's strength became qualitatively stable again, and Diane gradually got used to this kind of high-intensity battle, Nazar's low strength immediately became Ziggs' hind legs. Therefore, in the next half a year, the situation became that Edward and Diane teamed up to hunt down Ziggs and Nazar. In this regard, Ziggs finally had to ask the Pope for help, because if this continues. Nazar is about to fall.

In the face of Ziggs' request for help, the Pope simply did not hesitate. The special operations force, the Dark Knights, who were on an expedition in the abyss plane, were immediately transferred back.

Instead of continuing to search for Lemuel who didn't know where he fell on the abyss plane. It would be better to actually control Uriel in his own hands, so the entire Dark Side Knights, which had never shown their faces in the surface world of the Miracle Continent, all rushed to the Western Continent to participate in this crusade against the Demon God.

This shows how courageous the Pope of the St. Joels Empire is.

In particular, the Knights of the Dark Side played the banner of crusade against demon gods along the way, so churches, kingdoms, tribes, etc. in the Western Continent also called for cooperation accordingly. In this way, the situation of Edward and Diane is naturally more dangerous. It's just that because the strength of the two is too strong, it is difficult for even ordinary legendary powerhouses to win favor with the two of them. No one can really deal with this demon god whose strength is infinitely close to the super strong level.

But compared to Edward's body that can recover quickly after a short rest, Diane, who is still in the normal human category, seems to be working much harder. Especially the frequent occurrence of battles one after another made this powerful knight lack enough rest time. Over time, even the original power in Diane's body was shaken. His current strength is about It is equivalent to an ordinary legendary powerhouse, and there is no way to make Uriel enter the awakened state, which is tantamount to forcibly reducing the strength of the three classes.

"Dark Knights, I've heard of it before, but I always thought it was just a rumor, but I didn't expect it to be true." There was a long silence this time, and then Edward's voice sounded, and his The voice also seemed a little serious, obviously understanding the difficulty of the Dark Knights, "It seems that our days ahead are really difficult."

Regarding Edward's words, Diane didn't say anything, he was only thinking about one question at this moment.

Originally, he would become a demon believer. It is to eliminate Edward, the demon god. And in fact, there was indeed a very fierce battle between them, which was no less intense than the later battles with Ziggs and Nazar. It is no less than being surrounded and suppressed by the Dark Knights right now. Logically speaking, he and Edward should be in an endless situation. The worst situation should be the situation where old age and death do not communicate with each other.

But now?

Diane looked at Edward, the demon god, through the light emitted by the purification flame suspended in mid-air.

There are strands of black energy aura permeating his body, and these energy auras are quickly repairing the visible scars on his body. These scars are being stitched together at an incredible speed, and then the skin of his body changes instantly. It is very delicate. His face was full of indifference, and at this moment he was still humming a song he didn't know where he heard it, the tone was quite soothing and peaceful.

Diane couldn't figure out what kind of relationship he should have with this demon god now.

enemy?

Or... a comrade in arms?

But Diane just knew. If he wanted to swing the butcher knife at Edward now, he really couldn't do it. After all, they had two years of life-and-death fighting experience with each other. During this period, Edward blocked a fatal attack for him more than once, and of course he also saved Edward's life at a critical moment. Therefore, he can no longer easily regard Edward as an enemy that must be killed by hand. To some extent, he has already regarded Edward as his companion, and he can leave his back to the opponent's companion with peace of mind.

"There are so many things to think about. After the trouble this time is resolved, what should we do between us?" It seemed that he could see Diane's entanglement. Edward continued humming the tune quite indifferently, and then said, "If there is a chance in the future, I don't mind killing you... So, you don't need to have any psychological burden, as long as you can kill me , just do it directly."

Hearing Edward's straightforward words, Diane was stunned for a moment, and then pretended to be relaxed and said with a smile: "Indeed, our positions are always opposite, and it is destined that we will not be able to fight side by side like this in the future."

Edward smiled: "It's good that you know it.... Besides, I always feel that death is at your hands. I won't have any regrets."

"Me too." Diane froze for a moment, then smiled. "If one day I have to die, then I also hope that I can die by your hands... If it is someone else. Maybe I will really not be reconciled."

"Hey." Edward smiled, only at this time, he didn't have the aura that belonged to the demon god, but he looked like a real nobleman, "Let's think about how to escape from this encirclement next.  … …Those guys are obviously trying to drive us north, and there are probably some traps waiting for us over there."

Hearing Edward's words, Diane's expression changed suddenly: "North!... I actually forgot about this!"

Seeing Diane's face change, Edward also realized the seriousness of the problem, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

"They are driving us to the St. Jors Empire!" Diane's face turned extremely ugly, "The St. Jors Empire has four major legions, namely the White Wings, the Judgment Knights, the Guardian Knights, The Knights Templar. Among them, only the Knights of Judgment can leave the borders of the St. Jors Empire at will, and the other three legions cannot leave the borders of the St. Jors Empire at will, because it will cause unnecessary misunderstandings and troubles..."

"You mean..." Edward also realized the seriousness of the problem. After all, he is also an aborigine of the Miracle Continent, so he is no stranger to the fighting power of the White Wings. Drive them out of the country so that the Knights of the White Wings can dispatch them?"

Pure White Wings, the only nine-level knight order on the mainland, its combat power is the most powerful in the Miracle Continent. Even without Ziggs in charge, this knight group can easily deal with two or three legendary powerhouses, and they are not ordinary legendary powerhouses, but the kind of legendary powerhouses whose strength is about thirteenth or fourteenth rank . If Ziggs, the leader of the Knights of the White Wings, was in charge, even a super strong man would not be able to escape death if he was caught in a siege.

"It seems that we have to find a way to leave!" Diane said after resisting the sharp pain when he pulled his body.

"It's actually not difficult to break through the encirclement by force." Edward frowned, and then said, "But those guys obviously have some secret method of tracking, no matter what we can't get rid of their tracking. This is very troublesome."

"No." Diane shook her head, "Actually, I have been dragging you down all this time. The reason why they were able to track us down is purely because of me.... There is a mutual relationship between me, Ziggs and Nazar. Induction. Although it is not very accurate, but it has a general range....So, their target is only me, if you are alone, you can leave."

"You mean to let me leave you and run away alone?" Edward looked at Diane, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes became sharp.

"That's right." Diane nodded, "Stay with me. You will also fall with me. And their goal is me, why drag you to die together."

"Hmph, who do you think I am Edward?" Edward sneered, with black flames burning on his body, "You don't want to count what I just said before?... If you really want to die, Then let me kill you right now."

"If there's a way, do you think I'd like to do it?" Diane smiled wryly, with an extremely calm expression on his face, "Their goal is the angel outfit I own. This has always been the heart disease of the Church of Morning Light, so they Won't let it go, unless I'm willing to hand over this angel outfit... But. Do you think I'll hand over this angel outfit?"

"The St. Joles Empire is so domineering." Edward said with a gloomy face, "Is there any way to restore your strength quickly?"

"I'm currently injured at the core, and it's almost impossible to recover in a short time, but..."

"But what?" Edward frowned, and then asked, "If you have anything to say, just say it, hesitating like a woman."

Hearing Edward's evaluation, Diane smiled wryly, but ignored Edward's evaluation. Then he went on to say: "If there is the original liquid of the tree of life, it can repair my injury immediately. Let me recover my strength."

"The original liquid of the tree of life?" Edward pondered for a moment before speaking. "You wait for me here! I'll get you some life tree liquid."

After all, without waiting for Diane to say anything, Edward had already got up, took back the purification flame floating in mid-air, and then turned and left the cave.

It was not the first time Diane had seen this kind of swift and resolute approach, so he was not surprised or abrupt. Just looking at the back of Edward leaving, Diane tilted her head back, showing a smile that no one could see in the darkness, but this smile seemed a little relieved.

With Edward's departure, the sound of footsteps in the cave gradually disappeared.

But, not for a while, there was another sound.

Listening to the sound, it seems to be applause.

"I can't tell, you have a lot of love and righteousness for a demon god." There was a contemptuous sneer, followed by a burst of footsteps, and at the same time, there was a fire, "How dare you lie to him in this way?" leave."

Diane was no stranger to this voice, it belonged to Nazar.

However, when the fire illuminated everything in the cave, even Dian, who had been fighting for the past two years, couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

Besides Nazar and Ziggs, beside them were two men with the same imposing manner.

Almost without thinking, Diane also knew who these two people were at this very moment.

Responsible for the safety of the pope together with Nazar, standing on the left side of the pope, the holder of the angel outfit Gabriel, known as the left wing of God Laurent Hegler Thiel.

as well as.

Specially protecting the safety of the successive emperors of the St. Jors Empire, the holder of the angel outfit Raguel, known as the "Eternal Sacred Shield" Yebien Romita Thiel.

The four chief paladins of the St. Joles Empire are all here!

"Diane Harlenke, surrender." Looking at Diane, who had fought against him for two full years, Ziggs looked a bit complicated, "If you surrender now, your family will still be safe and sound. In the records of the empire, you are also the hero who died fighting for the empire."

"I have one more condition. If you promise me, I will go back with you."

"Our target is you. Without the assistance of Pure White Wing, we can't do anything to that Demon God, so we won't trouble him." Seemingly knowing what Diane was going to say, Ziggs said directly.

"I understand." Diane smiled slightly, without saying anything, but stood up with difficulty.

He didn't resist, and obediently let Nazar put the shackles specially used to imprison demons on himself, and then slowly left the cave with the four chief paladins. At this time, he didn't need any severe punishment. The injury of the original power in his body and the addition of the imprisoning tools specially aimed at demons made him suffer very intense pain every step he moved, but in the process, he But he didn't even hum.

Ziggs and the others naturally knew how much pain Diane had to endure, so they felt admiration for him being able to endure without making any muffled noises.

In particular, Ziggs' eyes showed regret.

Because no one knew better than him what would happen to Diane after returning to the St. Jors Empire.

His death is already doomed.

The Pope would never allow an angelic costume to fall into the hands of uncontrolled people.

After leaving the cave, Diane glanced at the clear night dotted with stars, and chuckled in a voice only he could hear: "It seems that I'm going to miss the appointment, and I can't die by your hands...old friend."
