Chapter 308 The final winner
"Puff", the sound of the sharp weapon piercing into the body was very weak, but in Nora's ears, the sound was particularly obvious and extremely harsh. She had long lost her pain for tens of thousands of years, and suddenly had a long-lost feeling, just like the moment when she sensed Hull's departure, just like the moment she saw Dalak turning into fine sand in front of her eyes, a subtle, vague, but deep-rooted pain. Similar memories remained in the distant memory. Nora frowned and thought, it seemed to be a feeling called heartache.
He lowered his head and looked at it. The fourth arrow was still stuck in his body. However, it was compared to the position just now. After being pressed by Panis, he went deeper a few centimeters. However, it was these few centimeters that made Nora feel empty in her heart, as if she had lost something precious. Nora could feel that the energy of death was still full of her body, but the strength was moving away from her. The fatigue that had accumulated for millions of years seemed to burst out at this moment, making her feel more and more tired and more and more tired.
Panis, who could not stay in the air, fell back to the ground after pressing the tail of the arrow. However, at this time, Nora seemed to have lost interest in fighting, and did not even look at him. She just stared at the half-feathered arrow in front of her chest with complicated eyes, and slowly descended from the air to the ground.
"It's such a strange feeling." Nora looked at the arrow that pierced her body with a curious feeling, carefully stretched out her fingers, tentatively touched the smooth tail of the arrow, and whispered: "This means that I'm going to die, right?"
"Yes, you failed." Panis sat on the floor physically and mentally exhausted, as if he had no joy of victory. He said in a low voice: "The arrow pierces the heart, and you will die soon."
"Ha, you won." Nora chuckled and nodded, unexpectedly no hatred for Panis who killed her. Instead, she said with a relaxed look: "Is this your trump card? It's so awesome."
"That's my last trump card." Panis sighed and said, "It's only a little bit. If you support the fourth arrow, then I will never have any other means to win. Fortunately, you didn't support it. This is my luck, but it's a pity for you."
"Nothing is a pity." Nora shook her head and said, "Can you tell me what the bow that killed me is? I have never seen such a powerful bow. Even the bow that Loki used when fighting with my Lord was not as powerful as that, nor so much pressure."
"The bow of hair, the holy object of the elves." Panis handed over the bow of hair in his hand without hesitation: "After being blessed by the gods, one of the strongest weapons to return to the elves."
Nora did not reach out to take it, but looked at the bow of hair curiously and nodded, "It's Artemis' breath. It turns out that it is the gift of the hunting goddess. She is the best at using bows and arrows. The bow she personally blessed is no wonder that it has such powerful power and is defeated by such a holy weapon. However, since you have such a strong weapon, why not use it earlier? If you use it earlier, you wouldn't have fought so hard."
"The reason why the trump card can take effect at the most critical moment is because it is unknown." Panis shook his head and said, "If you had used it from the beginning and you were prepared for it, then this time it would not have been possible for one strike. After all, this is my last trump card. If it cannot guarantee its effect, it will make me feel very troubled, so of course I have to stay when I am most confident before taking it out."
"I don't believe what you said." Nora didn't look like a dying person at all, and her attitude was not like facing the person who killed him. She said with a calm smile: "Over the years, the person we care about the most is you, and the person who studies the most is also you. Since 110 years ago, you have left a deep impression on us. For decades, the three of us have been very clear in our hearts that if someone can destroy our plan, then that person must be you. So we have carefully studied the information we can collect about every battle you fight, especially your classic battle examples. We have even studied it over and over again. We even know some of your habits more than you, so you said this is your last trump card, and I don't believe it at all."
"Uh, I have to say, you are so idle." Panis scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "Why don't you believe it?"
"You, whether it was many years ago or the last few times, have an unchanged habit. Before the battle, you will always be ready. After you use various means to make yourself have a high chance of winning, you will be involved in a battle. In other words, you will never do things that are unsure." Nora explained softly: "This time, Dalak's death was an accident. You didn't know the existence of the assassin in advance, but you still came, which means you have the confidence to face Dalak and I at the same time. However, with just one blow bow, you can't do this. So I'm sure you have other trump cards, and they are stronger than this bow, so strong that they can tie the strength gap between us. If it is convenient, can you tell me what else is the trump cards you have hidden?"
"Well, I've been seen through. In fact, in order to deal with you, in addition to the Bow of Fire, there are three other trump cards. But those three things are all one-time. I will never use them until the moment of death." Panis said with a wry smile: "That was lent to me by someone else, an arrow, a scale and a pearl. The arrow is used to pair with the Bow of Fire. As long as it is shot, one of you will definitely die, and there is no chance of escape. The scales are attached to your body. Within twenty-two hours, the surface of your body will be covered with a layer of scales like a lizardman, allowing the holder to have the defensive ability and flexibility of a lizardman. As for that pearl, after eating it, multiple injuries can be recovered within five minutes, so I don't mind fighting head-on with you head-on like Hull, because with the protection of the pearl, I will never die in the true sense."
"Sure enough, I think you won't just bring a bow as a trump card." Nora guessed the answer and said proudly like a child: "Your habit has troubled us very much. We are very worried that you won't come, because if you don't come, our plan will not be able to continue. But at the same time, we are very worried that you will really come, because once you come, it means you already think you have a chance to win. We don't think you are an arrogant person and will not blindly think you have a chance to win."
"I've been blind once." Panis sighed and said, "But you probably know the result of that time."
"Did you face my master that time? Haha, that time you were blind." Nora's body suddenly shook, she barely grasped the balance, slowly sat down on the spot, and smiled self-deprecatingly, "I'm a little tired, sit down and rest for a while. Well, but with that lesson, you won't blindly think that you have a chance to win, so we are really worried."
"So what?" Panis's smile became even more bitter, and he whispered: "So you have also made preparations for both aspects, right?"
"Hahahaha, look at your expression, I must have guessed it." Nora laughed happily and nodded, "Yes, we have to consider what if you really win? It doesn't matter if we die, but has our plan failed like this? This is something we absolutely cannot tolerate, and we must prepare in advance for this."
"So you have prepared spare offerings." Panis lowered his eyes and stared at the floor, and said in a moodless voice: "Once you fail and cannot kill me, use spare offerings to complete your ceremony."
"Hehe, it seems that you have seen through the spare offerings, and it's easy to talk to smart people." Nora tilted her head and asked curiously: "When did you figure it out?"
"Just just now, after I landed, I saw that your reaction was not anxious about the plan's imminent failure, so I figured it out." Panis said in a low mood: "You have been talking about spare sacrifices, but I have never thought of what the spare sacrifice is. Just now, I suddenly realized that you want to use me as a sacrifice because I have the curse of Danakus, and the deepest connection with him or the world of the Dead, and the best candidate for sacrifice. However, I have always ignored that there are two people, the same deep connection with the world of the Dead and Danakus, and even said that it may be deeper than me. If they are used as sacrifices, the effect may be better than me."
"Hahaha, that's right." Nora laughed happily and pointed to her nose and said, "Those two people are me and Darak. We can also be used as sacrifices, so we try our best to lock you and us separately between the rituals. If we can't kill you, then let you kill us. No matter which of these two conditions is completed, the ritual will end and the sacrifice will be completed smoothly."
"So you suddenly became calm after Darak died." Panis sighed and said, "At that time, I'm afraid you're fully prepared to face the current situation."
"Yes, I said at the time that I will kill you seriously, or be killed seriously by you." Although Nora was getting weaker and weaker, she was in a very good mood and said happily: "No matter who kills whom, we will be the final winners. As winners, we will certainly give you tolerance to the loser."
"I know I was still deceived by you, and now I am in a bad mood." Panis raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly, "When I am in a bad mood, I will do something to make other people's good moods worse with me, so I want to tell you something."
Panis was not worried about Nora's near-dea counterattack, and went straight forward a few steps, leaned into Nora's ear, and whispered for a long time. Nora's face changed continuously with Panis's whisper. After Panis finished speaking, he asked back: "These are just your guesses, aren't they?"
"Yes." Panis nodded, "but it is indeed a possibility."
"Haha, if that's the case, then we're three fools." Nora's expression eventually turned into self-deprecating: "The stupidest fool in the world."
