Chapter 708 The Shapeshifter's Choice
Chapter 708 The Shapeshifter's Choice
Seeing that everyone who had dealt with Salus turned their attention to him again, the Pardoner took a breath with a hint of helplessness.
Ascalon disappeared without a word, and then appeared in front of the Pardoner as if crossing the space.
The sleeve blade swept across, clashing with the dead branch-like scepter, causing a series of sparks to burst out.
The pardoner retreated again and said calmly:
"Aren't you going to take action yet?"
A gentle sigh echoed in the ears of everyone in Rhodes Island. A Sarkaz with long pink hair and wearing a white dress walked towards the canyon, with several crystals condensed from magic surrounding her.
The sudden appearance of Theresa brought the battle that was about to break out to an abrupt halt.
Even Askalon couldn't help but tremble in his heart. He forgot the assassin's rules and did not hide back into the shadows after making the move.
Theresa's eyes swept across everyone, briefly stopping at Amiya and Kal'tsit, but she did not linger.
"The doctor is not with you." Theresa said.
Amiya subconsciously took half a step forward, but then stopped.
Kelsey looked at Theresa with a complicated expression.
"He acted together with Qi Yan."
Theresa nodded and looked at Ascalon again.
She slowly stretched out her hand and said gently:
"You must have had a hard time these years. I'm sorry I didn't have time to say goodbye to you last time."
"I……"
The sadness in Ascalon's eyes could not be suppressed at all, and he stepped forward and tried to hold the hand that Theresa offered him.
"wrong!"
A low roar filled with anger was heard.
Amiya clenched her fists, and black energy surrounded her body to form spell lines: "You are not Miss Theresa, shapeshifter, you shouldn't say these words in her appearance!"
Theresa sighed again, lowered her outstretched hand, and said regretfully:
"Sorry, that was not our intention."
Askalon understood what was happening, and then a huge rage erupted from the bottom of his heart.
Her surging murderous intent almost swallowed up her rationality. She rushed towards Theresa like a sharp arrow, raising her hidden blade to stab Theresa's throat.
Facing Ascalon who was charging at her, Theresa did not make any move. Instead, she raised her smooth chin and exposed her neck.
The blood-stained Hidden Blade hovered in front of Theresa's neck, unable to move forward any further.
It wasn't the opponent's defense, but Ascalon was unable to attack the familiar face in front of him.
In the moment that Ascalon hesitated, she committed the biggest taboo of an assassin.
The Absolver silently raised his scepter, and the black spell struck Askalon's heart.
"careful!"
Several screams were heard, and it was too late for Amiya and the others to rescue them.
Just when the Absolver's attack was about to succeed, a crystal condensed from magic blocked Askalon's chest, defeating the Absolver's plan.
Theresa gently pushed Ascalon out and landed him in a safe place.
"What do you mean?" the pardoner asked dissatisfiedly.
"save you."
The pardoner was puzzled.
Theresa didn't explain, she just looked into the distance.
At the end of his sight, a transport ship was rushing towards him at full speed with a fearless attitude.
"Your time is running out, and neither are ours."
Theresa said regretfully, "We can help you delay the people from Rhodes Island, but the price is the wrath that is bound to befall us in the future after we act in such a way that is almost insulting to Your Highness.
Go do what you have to do, ambitious hyena of Tracys."
"you……"
The Pardoner never dreamed that he would be insulted by these emotionless guys, the Shapeshifters, with such subjective words.
Theresa closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, a trace of sadness flashed across her eyes:
"We respect Her Highness, so we are willing to respect her decision, but if possible, we hope that the story of Qi Yan and Rhodes Island, Qi Yan and this land, is not a repetition of the story of the god born in the cold wind."
The Pardoner frowned, it was obvious that the development of things was not what he expected.
But the current situation was obviously not a good opportunity for him to think.
On the Rhodes Island team side, Amiya and the others who had experienced the Tower of Babel period were so angry that they could no longer be described in words.
They were ready to face Theresa, and would not be so angry even if they learned that Theresa was no longer the same person she used to be.
But they absolutely could not tolerate seeing an imposter using Theresa's face.
A black crown appeared on Amiya's head, and Yingxiao appeared in the huge diamond-shaped magic shadow, tightly grasped by a young hand.
The golden runes emerging from the tip of the pen almost covered the small battlefield.
Driven by anger, the assassin had a blank expression on his face, his eyes were as cold as ice, and he slowly blended into the shadows of the surrounding scenery.
Even Kal'tsit couldn't say anything to calm everyone down. Green crystals flew out of her pocket, sensing Kal'tsit's emotions and transforming into ferocious Originium monsters that blocked Theresa and the Absolver's retreat.
Theresa faced the anger of the crowd calmly, walked forward slowly, and activated the magic crystals around her to attack Amiya.
"Shadow Sky, Absolute Shadow!"
Amiya's body flashed, and while dodging the attack, countless sword energies burst out, cutting down all the crystals.
The rest of the people followed closely behind and rushed towards Theresa.
Theresa was not surprised. She waved her hand and sprinkled a green liquid. She transformed into several Theresa's figures and attacked together. She resisted all attacks despite the increasingly fierce anger of the crowd.
They knew that they were destined to be burned to ashes by the wrath of Amiya and others, and they were ready to accept everything.
This was the inevitable consequence of their choice and agreement to Theresa's request.
But they didn't care. All they had to do was create an opportunity and arrange a special meeting for Qi Yan.
In the melee, the Pardoner bypassed the others and ran towards the Shining.
When passing by Salus's body, he walked past it without even looking at it, but a black spell still fell and merged into Salus's chest.
Salus's bloody neck moved strangely, and the wound healed in the blink of an eye. Her dilated pupils shrank again, and she gasped like a drowning person who had just been rescued.
"Do what you have to do."
The order left by the Pardoner reached Salus' ears.
She did not feel resentful, but was overjoyed that the Pardoner was willing to save her and to control her to continue her work.
"Come out, come out!"
Blood foam continued to spurt out of Salus' mouth as he growled, but she ignored it and pounded the ground with her scepter like a madman.
Huang and others who were trying to stop the Pardoner suddenly felt the ground shaking beneath their feet, and then countless hideous and strange monsters, as if creatures from several races were forcibly squeezed together, emerged from the ground.
"I'll stop them."
Mudstone shouted and squatted on the ground, mobilizing his blood power to communicate with the earth.
The earth, which was originally fair and selfless to all things, suddenly became biased at this moment. A large number of monsters that had not yet successfully drilled out were squeezed into meat paste by the soil in the blink of an eye.
The Pardoner was not surprised by this. Before taking action, he had prepared corresponding means of containment for the people of Rhodes Island.
The Pardoner waved his hand and cast a spell to force Huang and the others away, and continued to move forward.
Facing the Pardoner, Huang and Thorn still had some difficulty dealing with them, but Logos and others were restrained by the Shapeshifters and had no time to take care of this side in a short period of time.
"Really, I hate this guy."
Shuiyue complained dissatisfiedly and summoned a large number of tentacles to roll towards the Pardoner.
Facing Shuiyue's attack, the Pardoner finally felt threatened, but he ignored it and let the tentacles tear his body into pieces.
Shuiyue was stunned upon seeing this.
"This is his method!"
Shining's warning came from behind, but it was too late.
A gray mist suddenly emerged from the ground where the Pardoner's flesh was scattered, covering Shuiyue and the others. Then the Pardoner walked out of the mist, covered in blood.
His breath was extremely weak, but his face was full of joy as he walked step by step to Shining and Nightingale.
Shining blocked Nightingale behind him, raised his hand to press the hilt of the sword and was about to draw it out.
The Absolver smiled expectantly: "Come on, sister, kill me with your sword, then we will complete our union, my soul will merge with yours, giving birth to a new life, and we will become the most perfect demon king!
Don't resist, this is your destiny. I will also make good use of the container behind you that you care about, and repair it into a perfect prop to contain the power of the Black Crown. It will also establish the most intimate relationship with you!"
"Shut up!"
Shining growled in disgust, clenched his teeth and slowly pulled the blade out a little: "I will kill you, and then I will kill myself!"
The Pardoner still smiled: "You can't do it, sister."
Shining said nothing more, and pulled out the sword with all his strength with complete determination.
The golden light was filled with a warm atmosphere, and Shining herself, the Absolver, and the Nightingale behind her were bathed in it.
Just as Shining was about to thrust her sword, a weak hand grabbed her arm with all its might.
Nightingale hadn't known when she had broken free from that strange state, her face already covered with tears. She knew that she couldn't stop the Shining with her own strength, so she could only shake her head vigorously to try to make the Shining give up the plan of dying together.
The Pardoner's smile slowly faded, and he looked at Nightingale with cold eyes:
"As a vessel, your behavior is truly unpleasant. It is nothing more than a bubble filled with false memories. Accept this reality."
"Maybe my memory is false." Nightingale's eyes were full of sadness, "But I can feel the most real emotions from them. The travel experiences after leaving the laboratory, the countless times when I woke up from a coma, and the concern of Shining who stayed by my side, are absolutely not false!"
"enough!"
The Pardoner growled, took a step forward, grabbed the Shining's blade and was about to meet it with his chest.
Shining was caught from behind by two people whose fates were inextricably linked to hers, and the emotional tug made her so painful that she almost suffocated.
"That's enough for you!"
The boy's refreshing voice suddenly interrupted the argument between the three people.
Shuiyue rushed out from the gray mist and grabbed the Pardoner's shoulder.
He was in a rather miserable state at the moment, and it was obvious that he had paid some price in order to break free from the fog as quickly as possible.
"You made my friend cry." Shuiyue said coldly.
"You can't stop me now."
The Pardoner pressed forward.
Countless tentacles pierced the Pardoner, trying to tear him apart.
But this time, he encountered an obstacle that Shuiyue could not understand. The tentacles that pierced the Pardoner seemed to be affected by some force and gradually lost their power.
Shuiyue's hands on the Pardoner's shoulders kept tightening. Faced with this critical situation, he did not care about the resistance in his heart or the possibility of people being frightened after showing his true face.
Light blue tentacles emerged from Shuiyue's arms, climbed towards the Pardoner, and devoured the Pardoner's flesh and blood bit by bit.
"You...are you eating me?" The Pardoner's pupils shrank.
"It's as disgusting as the rotten intestines of a dead fish. Don't talk. I'm in a bad mood right now."
Shuiyue's clear eyes gradually became inhumanly cold.
The Pardoner turned around and roared, "Quisasina, kill me!"
Shining's eyes trembled when the Absolver called her real name, and the past experiences that she didn't want to recall emerged in her mind.
Those were the sins she had committed, the inhumane experiments she had conducted on Nightingale time and time again, using false lies and false spells to selfishly weave non-existent beautiful memories for Nightingale.
"This is my sin, and I must pay for it."
Tears rolled down the corners of Shining's eyes.
She no longer hesitated, and stepped forward to stab the sword into the Pardoner's heart.
"*Eastern country swear*!"
Shuiyue was a little annoyed when she saw this: "I can't care less, just scold me if Amiya and the others want to!"
He tried to pull the Pardoner away with all his strength, while raising his head and shouting desperately:
"Qi Yan, Shining and Nightingale were all bullied and cried!!!"
