Chapter 23: Step by step (6)
Leaving the two knights, Melie immediately pulled down her burqa to cover her face and hurriedly walked through the alley.
The night became darker and there were no people on the street. When she arrived in front of the city wall, the city gate was closed.
In the night, she spread her huge wings and soared towards the sky. Under the hiding of the night, the soldiers on the city wall only felt that the wind suddenly became much bigger. Before they could notice the abnormality, Meli had already left the city wall and flew all the way to the moon hanging in the sky.
According to Ella's plan, no matter how much Kur's life is left, as long as Meli runs over and gets rid of it, the entire faction of Duke Aquitaine can be immediately lost.
Now that Crodis has already drunk the potion, the last step is left to complete victory.
Although Kur, the god of the underworld who was once believed in by the Sumerians, is classified as a "dragon", his image is completely different from that of Melis and Draguer, which has the body of a lion, the wings of a bird, the tail of a lion, and the scales of a fish. It is not a kind of Melis, so Melis does not have mercy on it - since it stands on the side of the Duke of Aquitaine, it is Melis' enemy!
Mountains and rivers quickly passed under Melis, and Melis's body gradually deformed in flight. From wings to back, from torso to limbs, its whole body was rapidly changing into the form of a dragon. It flew through castles and manors everywhere, like a huge dark cloud casting shadows on the earth.
She had no doubt at all whether she could kill Kur. She could feel Kur's weakness. It was once injured by the enemy prophet, and it had been more than 2,100 years since then. It had recovered with the dragon's strong vitality for more than 2,100 years, but it was still seriously injured. Not to mention Meli doing it herself, even if she asked her sister Kurzedra to come over, it would be enough to deal with the current Kur.
The cold air from the sky covered Melis's body with a layer of frost, and was shaken off as it waved its wings again and again. It didn't feel cold at all, and the dragon's blood flowed in its body like magma - and, when the thought of killing Coul could solve Crodis at the same time, the blood was so excited that it couldn't stop boiling!
She further extended her wings and chased the moonlight in the distance
But the moonlight suddenly scattered into pieces like bubbles in the water.
Meli stopped suddenly, flapping her wings and staying in the air. She saw the fragments condensed into two identical moons again, blocking her.
And her body was surrounded by twenty-nine moons with different moon phases!
In the only "new moon" where the moon cannot be seen, there was a terrifying laugh that made Meli tremble:
"Meet again, Niedhog."
Meli's body began to tremble. She raised the dragon's head and let out a long roar towards the sky, with a bit of tragic voice: "Crodith!"
"Yes, I'm here."
A vortex appeared in the sky, stirring the night like a river, and gradually condensed a person's shadow in the center of the vortex—
Crodis Ptolemy.
He still held his cane and wore its Toga robe. More than a year has passed since the fierce fight in Aztland, and over the past year, his image has almost never changed. Time is like something meaningless to him, and has never flowed.
"I had long noticed your magic—just a few months ago, when the Knights came to visit Paris in the name of studying the Church of Abraham."
He said words that scared Meli.
"In the years, you have learned a lot of ways to avoid our pursuit. However, our understanding of you is gradually deepening. You should be glad that I am in the Almany Federation now. If it were the young apostle of the Cross, with his keenness to magic, you would have been caught long ago."
He knocked on the sky with his cane and walked past Melis as if nothing had happened.
"I have been waiting for you to appear. You can't escape, and you can't escape. This era is the era of human beings. Things like you refute reason should not continue to exist in the world."
"You first appeared on the day of the martial arts competition. Unfortunately, I did not have enough evaluation of the sword clan's sword skills and failed to take you off on the spot."
"But I can't understand, I've escaped from death for a while, why do you--how dare you stay here?"
Crodis stopped and swept at Mellie with a gloomy gaze:
"Nidhog, do you—do you look down on me too much?"
Crodis began to approach Meli step by step, and his face became worse with each step forward:
"I think it's not true that the Knight King came to form an alliance with the Almani Federation and said he wanted to convert to the Abraham Church, right?"
"But I can't understand either - what are you planning?"
"The resurrection of the Son of God, the sword technique of the sword clan, the strange potion, and your current plan, since I returned to this continent, what I don't understand seems to have become more and more. However, it doesn't matter - if you don't understand, just ask."
Crodisius came to Melis. Melis was in the form of a dragon at this time. Compared to this, Crodisius's body was as small as a bug. But when he raised his crutch to Melis' throat, the pressure released made people feel that Melis was an ant.
"First, answer me, what's going on with that bottle of potion? I know that the Duke of Aquitaine didn't lie. It was indeed an alchemy potion, and alchemy was a unique subject. But why, a large part of the power I felt from it came from you?"
“Fiik Lo Sah”!”
Meli urgently used magic to hide her figure. She could not be entangled by Crodis here, otherwise no one would kill Cour, and the series of plans they had worked hard to prepare would be vain!
"Do you think you can still run away?"
Crodis shouted angrily, and the boundless darkness suddenly gained weight. In a painful wail, Meli's body was pressed heavily from the sky to the ground.
Crodis slowly fell from the sky with the boundless Milky Way.
"I'll ask again." He looked down at Meli, with no mercy in his eyes, "What are you calculating?"
“Fiik Lo…!”
Before Meli's second roar was completed, it turned into a shrill wail. The scales covering her body began to collapse one by one, and a large amount of blood splashed out from it.
"It seems you don't want to answer."
Crodis said slowly and expressionlessly.
