Today, Gus was dark-faced and in a depressed mood, carrying his dragon-slaying sword in a depressed mood, walking on the path in the wilderness without saying a word, looking very angry and self-blame.
“…”
In fact, it’s not just today, but even yesterday, yesterday and the day before yesterday, he was like this, showing that bad face to everyone, as if everyone owed him millions of gold coins.
"Hmm~"
()
In comparison, Annie's face looked much better.
She just jumped heartlessly behind and hummed some unknown song, picking wild flowers on the road from time to time, chasing beautiful butterflies from time to time, or drooling at the fat rabbits in the distance, without caring about what Gus was feeling in front of her.
Since Gus has embarked on his journey again, there is no doubt that the Earl's territory has basically been declared finished after the Earl was killed by Gus.
Then, given that the Count's self-destruction and devils were involved in killing innocent people, and the Count's daughter Dilisia was still young and could not inherit the title and manage the territory, the Dharma Hall happily sent a large number of knights and soldiers to come and let the old priest take charge.
Now, the army in the Dharma Hall must be entrusting the city, and the old priest and his daughter Clater were commanded by the old priest and his daughter, to hunt down the former earl's minions and those from the heresy trial committee and strive to maintain a new rank?
As for the fact that the old priest was actually a senior executive of the Dharma King Hall and whether the Dharma King Hall wanted to interfere in the Count's orphan territory, Gus did not take much care of it.
He just stayed in that city for more than ten days, and then found that the Behelet had not opened the alien channel again and summoned the five damn hands of the gods, he had to say goodbye to the old priest and Clater, and embarked on a journey to continue looking for the demons, that is, the apostles under the hands of the gods.
Yes!
Gus is already determined!
Since he could not use that Behelet and summon his big enemies, he would wander around the world to find out and kill all the demons transformed by the other party using Behelet, that is, the apostles lurking in the world!
He didn't believe it anymore. Those guys who called themselves gods would watch him do that, and would watch him destroy the apostles or demons without any hesitation?
He firmly believed that as long as he killed a certain number of people, those guys would definitely be more anxious than him, and would definitely come out to find him on his own initiative!
“…”
As he thought about it, Gus suddenly turned left and entered a forest from the path.
“!!”
!(;o)o
When Anne was staring at a gray red-eyed rabbit in the distance and wondering whether to eat rabbit meat, she was surprised that when she turned her head, she saw that the dull Hulugus turned directly along the path to a forest. When she was about to disappear, she had to give up her plan to eat rabbits at night, and hurriedly chased after her.
"Hello!"
(﹏,)
"Black uncle!"
(＿＿*)
"You wait!"
=(*)
“…”
Unfortunately, no matter how Annie shouted, Gus didn't mean to stop or slow down.
He just continued to walk towards the dense forest step by step with a dark face, forcing Anne to flash in anger and intercept him in front of him.
"Are you still angry?"
(.)
"Didn't they say it!"
(ˇεˇ)
"You are too weak now, so you must not be able to beat them. You made a mistake that day, otherwise, you are probably dead now!"
s('ヘ;)ゞ
Looking at the other party's black face, seeing that the other party still had the same expression after more than ten days. As a last resort, Annie had to sigh and persuade her with some discomfort.
In Annie's opinion, there were five of those god hands, one was stronger than the other, and one had different abilities. Then, the opponent was at a disadvantage when he beat one. If five of them were together, I would probably not have the chance to put on such a bad face again!
Of course, although those hands of gods look very powerful, they are definitely a little worse than her omnipotent Queen Anne. Anyway, there may be several universes between them?
“…”
Gus didn't say anything, but suddenly raised his head, then looked over Anne in front and looked into the deep woods.
“??”
く(＾_)ゝ
"what?!"
(゜-゜)
Anne was a little confused, and of course she also followed the other person's gaze and glanced at the back of her.
"It's the smell of blood!"
Suddenly, what surprised Anne was that Gus did not retort and argue with her as she imagined, but frowned and said in a muffled voice.
“??”
∑(△)?!
"Blood, bloody smell?"
(*–-)
At first, she was a little surprised, and then Anne couldn't help but frowned slightly and sniffed in the deep jungle air full of grass and rotten leaves.
"Alas!"
Σ(дlll)
"It really smells bloody. Is your nose a dog?"
(=^▽^=)
Then, Anne smelled it, and threw a look of surprise and admiration at Gus.
“…”
Gus did not explain or refute Anne's jokes. He just pondered for a while and stared at the dark forest ahead, and then walked resolutely towards the front.
“!!”
!(;o)o
"Hello!"
(“▔□▔)
"Wait!"
⊙﹏⊙‖∣°
"Isn't it just a dead person and a bloody smell? What's so good about it? Just walk from the other side?"
o(*'　〼)o
Anne knew that the world was in a chaotic era, with robbers, bandits, soldiers, wars, etc. everywhere, so it was not very strange that dead people and corpses were.
Just like yesterday, the village they passed by was slaughtered by some robbers or villains. The whole village was full of dead people and broken eaves and walls. Therefore, she didn't want to join in the fun with some bloody scenes that might appear in front of her.
"hateful!"
(へ╬)
However, Gus did not mean to stop or change the route, nor did he think about discussing with Anne, and he continued to move forward stubbornly and stubbornly, just as Anne did not exist.
"All right!"
ε=(ο｀*))) Alas
"Then let's take a look!"
┗( 0﹏0 )┛
Since the other party is not afraid of trouble, Annie certainly has nothing to be afraid of. After all, there is really nothing else except worrying that it will affect her appetite.
...
Soon, Gus and Anne arrived at the place where the smell of blood came from, and then they successfully saw a huge twisted ancient tree surrounded by a group of weird people wearing hoods and holding wooden sticks. Their numbers were at least dozens of them!
At the same time, the smell of blood was emitted from the big tree. In addition to the strong smell of blood, there was also a kind of twisted and very crazy resentment and spiritual power?
“…”
After a look, I found that the guys seemed to be performing some kind of weird ceremony. Gus originally wanted to leave.
“!!”
"That's..."
However, when he saw through the gaps between the crowds that a naked woman was lying under the ancient tree they surrounded, and the other party's intestines were taken out by those people to nail the tree to the tree pole with wooden nails, he finally couldn't help but exclaim and made noises successfully make the guys who were having some consciousness look back.
"ah!"
('')
"Is it a cannibal?"
(△;)
Of course, Anne also saw the poor, barefoot woman who was lying in the roots of the tree and was completely dead, and then couldn't help but exclaim and asked Uncle Gus.
“…”
Gus didn't answer, but looked indifferently at the guys who smiled strangely and were not maliciously towards him and Annie after hearing the movement.
"Where did these two people come out?"
"I haven't seen it before."
"Well, I don't know, it doesn't look like it's nearby."
"hey-hey……"
"It's not just right!"
"Tonight the forest elves seem to be not satisfied with the sacrifice, so let's use them both instead!"
"good!"
After whispering a few words, the people soon agreed to the opinions, then grinned cruelly and took out a handful of different weapons to directly surround Gus and Anne.
"Tsk!"
Looking at the female corpse in front of him, covered in scars and lying naked under the big tree, then looking at the guys who surrounded him and blocked his way. Gus sneered indifferently, then pointed to the corpse in front of him, whose intestines were taken out and asked.
"You killed her?"
"besides……"
"What do you want to do?"
Obviously, the guys in front of him were cultists from a cult, and this guy was like a mouse in this chaotic world. There was nothing strange about it. In addition, this guy was not his target, so Gus didn't want to pay attention to it at first, but now that the other party surrounded him and had bad intentions, he certainly didn't mind asking.
"I know!"
|ω`)
"It should look like some kind of foolish spirit-inviting ceremony?"
(ˇˇ)
"Um……"
(ー`ー)
"It seems that these bad guys should have caused pain and fear to the elder sister first, and then took out her intestines and wrapped them into the tree, so that her pain and fear could be connected with the tree that was nearly half demonized... After that, the elder sister would usually die slowly, and before that, the continued intense pain in her body, the extreme fear of death and the twisted soul would have some kind of magic-like resonance effect?"
(^～^;)ゞ
"It's probably that!"
(lll￢▽￢)
At this time, without waiting for the evil men who surrounded the two with malicious intentions to speak, Annie had already stared at the tragic death of the elder sister and the densely packed wooden nails and twisted strange tree, which was as pimples as a human face, after a while, she quickly summed up.
No matter what, Queen Anne is the most important and most powerful arcane master in the endless planes of the heavens and the worlds. And the purpose and effect of the foolish and cruel ceremony in front of her must be hidden from her eyes.
“!!”
"Sacrifice, sacrifice?"
After hearing Anne's words, Gus was stunned at first, and then, after grabbing the keyword "Sacrificial Examination", he felt as if he was injected with chicken blood. The remaining one-eyed eyes turned red in an instant, and then he glared at the group of pagans with a ferocious face and rapid breathing and asked.
"explain!"
"Is that true?!"
You know, after experiencing something, Gus has become a little nervous and is particularly disgusted and sensitive to the kind of thing "sacrificial". He almost tends to go wild when he hears that word or sees something similar and wants to kill people!
Now, he didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but found that the guys in front of him had hit his sword?
“??”
"hateful!"
"Boy, don't be able to tell the difference between the form, so what, so what if it is not?"
"You guys will be like her soon!"
"I hope your intestines will be longer?"
"Jie!"
"Shut up!"
"Stop talking nonsense to him!"
"Just!"
"The great forest elves need more sacrifices. Hurry up and capture them and sacrifice them. Don't let the forest elves wait too long!"
"That's right!"
"Hey!"
"Especially that little girl..."
"She knows a lot, she looks well-behaved and smart. She must be the kind of child from a rich family. Maybe she is still a nobleman. If she takes out her intestines, the sacrifice will definitely be better!"
“That’s it!”
"Catch the living, don't beat them to death in one go!!"
The group of people continued to laugh and mocked Gus for a few words, then made a fuss for a while, and then took out their respective fishing nets, hooks, ropes and other professional tools for catching people.
From this we can see that they seem to be a group of experienced villains, even with tools, and must have caught many people by similar means.
It's a pity...
Today they seem to have provoked someone who shouldn't be provoked.
Because, let alone Anne, the guy Gus who kills without blinking is obviously not something they can provoke to those of them who only bully ordinary people and play the kind of evil god sacrifice.
So...
“!!”
"Yeah……"
"I see."
After listening to Anne's description and those guys didn't speak up, after figuring out the reason for the matter and basically understanding the other party's purpose, Gus did not hesitate and directly reached out to hold the hilt of the Dragon Slaying Sword he was carrying.
Buzz!!!
Then, before those people could cover him with the ridiculous fishing net, he suddenly took out the big sword behind him and waved it to the group of cultists who had just smiled and then became panicked at this time.
"Go to die!!!"
Tornado Slash!!!
The next second, the hundreds of pounds of dragon-slaying sword stirred up like a whirlwind among the unexpected cultists.
"ah!!"
!?('')
Seeing this, Anne was so scared that she quickly flashed away from the center of the storm that was rolled up by Gus's great sword.
Of course, she was not afraid of being accidentally injured by the other party, but was afraid of being splattered by the filthy blood bursting out when the other party cuts and cuts down the bodies of the bad guys.
“…”
Fortunately, in less than half a minute, Gus stopped and stood in the place where the last cult had stood before the bloody and dripping terrifying sword.
At this time, dozens of cultists who just wanted to catch the two and take out their intestines to go around the tree for a certain ceremony all fell to the ground, and most of them had the miserable ending of being cut into two pieces by Gus's big sword or smashed into several twisted pieces of meat!
What's more...
Some of them were even more unlucky, and they had not died immediately when they were cut in half, and were still lying on the pool of blood on the ground, squirming and screaming.
“…”
But Gus didn't pay attention to them, nor did he intend to finish the attack. He just threw the blood on the sword and some fragments of human organs stained. After thinking about it, he walked straight towards the big tree not far away.
“??”
(.)
"what are you up to?"
(ω‖)
Seeing Gus pulling out the wooden nail and planning to gather the intestines wrapped around the strange tree back into the belly of the female corpse, Annie asked in surprise.
"Of course it's to resurrect her..."
“Isn’t that what you want to see?”
“The more I use something called the Holy Light the more satisfied you are, aren’t you?”
It is rare that Gus actually explained why he did that, and at the same time, he mocked Anne without looking back and asked, without any concealing his purpose of saving people.
"Um……"
(~)
"I would like to advise you not to do that!"
(O ^~^ O)
Staring at the other party's movements and struggling for a while, Annie suddenly made a sound to stop and shook her head firmly and said.
“…”
After a slight pause, Gus did not speak, but turned slowly, stared at Anne coldly with one eye, as if signaling Anne to finish the words.
"Say that!"
()
"She is different from the old priest who was saved by you and Sister Crete!"
()
"Her soul has been tortured by the magic power, the power of pain and fear in that ritual. Even if you use the holy light to resurrect her, you will only get a madman. The holy light cannot save her!"
(o゜▽゜)o
"The soul is a more complex discipline. To some extent, it has already reached the realm of the Creator. Ordinary great lichs and great mages cannot easily control it, let alone you, the Paladin who has been transferred from a warrior!"
╮(╯▽╰)╭
"The holy light is not omnipotent!"
(.＾▽＾)
Although she was a little cruel, Anne still ruthlessly told the fact.
"It's better to purify everything and let her and everything here return to nature!"
(＾－＾)
"That might be the best for her?"
(o_)ノ
Although Anne could do it, she didn't want to interfere with that kind of thing.
First of all, she was not familiar with the unlucky big sister!
Furthermore, if she easily interferes with and reshapes her soul with her strength, it may have a profound impact on some rules in this world?
It was like a program that was originally running well and forced to be inserted or modified by her to a certain patch. Maybe it would cause a big mess and a big bug. Even she was a little unpredictable if there were any serious consequences that would happen in the end!
“Purification?”
After listening, Gus thought about it for a while, then a little confused appeared on his face.
“!!”
"You are really lying to me!!!"
But then, he didn't know what he suddenly thought of, or had some stubbornness, and suddenly waved the dragon-slaying sword and pointed at Annie and shouted loudly in anger.
“??”
!!!∑(Дノ)ノ
"Are you crazy?"
(へ╬)
"What have people lie to you?"
('π*)
Seeing the other party suddenly being ready to attack him, Annie was shocked and of course she couldn't help but glared back with a little anger and asked back.
"I still want to argue?"
"you!!"
"You told me before!"
"The Holy Light can save Cascarlett, right?"
"But now!"
"You said that the Holy Light cannot save a lunatic. Isn't that lie to me? What's that?"
"You are indeed an evil demon!!!"
While continuing to point at Anne with his weapon, the indignant Gus answered with a rare reason and retorted with confidence.
“!!”
!(;o)o
When Anne heard that it was like that, she was startled, but soon after knowing what the other party's brain circuit was, she retorted loudly without any concealing her anger:
"There is a brain problem in your house, so of course it can be cured!"
o(*'　〼)o
"And this big sister was tortured so that her soul was twisted. There was a big problem with the soul. So are they completely different concepts, okay?"
(;'O)o
"You idiot!"
('^)
"idiot!"
(')/
"slacker student!!"
('⊿)
"I don't understand and I'm still careless. I'm so angry!!!"
(`^)
In this way, while Anne explained angrily, she did not forget to refute and scold the other party repeatedly, and vaguely released the urge to slap the other party hard.
(…)
(￢￢.)
(Aware of a certain idea of ​​his master, Tibers hurriedly said in private: Mr. Xiong doesn't want to hit the male human at the moment, and if a bad little master really lets it out, it will definitely not mind slapping the other person with one claw and burn it, so as to save you from being upset?)
“…”
Upon hearing this, Gus's move that was originally preparing to attack froze instantly.
Then he thought about it carefully and felt that although he still didn't understand it very much, after seeing Annie's statement, he naturally felt that he was a little inappropriate, and his face gradually changed from extreme anger to an uncontrollable embarrassment.
Then, of course, his stubborn face showed a hint of disappointment.
but……
Even though he knew he was wrong, Gus did not mean to apologize or admit it.
After pausing and looking at Annie who was still angry, he simply turned around and walked back to the woman's body and the weird tree that bound countless twisted souls and each wooden nail represented an innocent victim.
“…”
Then, he was silent for a while, and amid Anne's crisp and pleasant and rich cursing voice behind him, he finally slowly raised his hand with only the Holy Seal, and then began to summon the Holy Light.
Although Gus knew that the little girl as terrifying and powerful as a demon was scolding him in different ways, he didn't mind much.
Because, he doesn't understand most of the words the other party said, this is the benefit of being a reckless man. Because he has not read many books and does not recognize words very well, he doesn't know the allusions that the other party said in a variety of ways to ridicule him.
“!!”
Holy Flame!!
In this way, amid Anne's indignant gaze and angry rebuke, the holy flame summoned by Gus came, and directly encapsulated the dozens of cultists who had just been cut by him, the nameless female corpse under his feet and the twisted and hideous ancient tree in front of him, in the golden flames and dazzling holy light that soared into the sky.
