Chapter 386 Love Love Love Love Love Love Love Love
Faced with the beheading, the witch cultists reacted immediately, but Wilhelm was faster. He had already entered combat mode and was almost unmatched under several amplifications.
At this moment, Wilhelm seemed to have once again become the sword ghost who came and went freely among thousands of troops. Every time he swung his sword, he would take the life of a witch cultist.
The cold sword and the scarlet blood reflected each other, and in just a few seconds, dozens of witch cultists who suddenly appeared were all killed.
He swung the sword, and the blood on the sword was thrown out like an arrow, and then merged into the flowing pool of blood.
Wilhelm took out a handkerchief and wiped the polished sword elegantly. He looked not like a murderous devil at all, but rather like an old butler sorting out his collection.
After the swords were wiped clean, the expeditionary team behind them rode on earth dragons to the battle site.
Although the scene was very bloody, all the members of the expeditionary force were warriors who had seen blood. Even Natsuki Subaru had experienced death more than a dozen times, so no one present showed any uncomfortable expression.
“As expected of Lord Wilhelm, you are known as the Sword Demon. Your sword is still as sharp as ever.” Julius rode up on the earth dragon and praised Wilhelm.
"And that frown has finally relaxed. Now, my dear friend Reinhard can be redeemed."
Wilhelm shook his head and replied to Yurius' words, "It is mainly because of Lord Xia Yu's increase in strength that I can return to my peak. No, it is even stronger than when I was at my peak. This power is truly indescribable."
“As for Reinhard…” The old man muttered this name and couldn’t help but lower his eyes, with complicated thoughts in his eyes: “I feel sorry for him, and I can never muster the courage to face him…”
The relationship between him and Reinhard was simple, that of a grandfather and grandson, but there was an irreparable rift between them.
The source of the rift was his dead wife, the former Sword Saint Theresa van Astraea.
Theresa's death was not only due to the white whale, but also due to the disappearance of her own "Protection of the Sword Saint".
The reason why the protection disappeared was Reinhard. In this world, the "Protection of the Sword Master" is a protection that resides in the blood and will be randomly transferred to the most talented person in the Astraea family.
For various reasons, when Theresa was conquering the White Whale, her "Divine Protection of the Sword Master" was suddenly transferred to Reinhard.
The disappearance of the protection caused Theresa's combat power to be unbalanced, so the White Whale took the opportunity to kill her.
Therefore, there was an irreparable rift between Wilhelm and Reinhard. Even though Wilhelm knew that Reinhard was just a child, he inevitably resented him.
It was not until the fourteen years of chasing the white whale that Wilhelm gradually came to his senses, but he could never let go of the knot in his heart about Reinhard.
"At least, it will make him feel less guilty." Yulius replied.
Next, the expedition team continued to advance, and because of Wilhelm’s display of power, everyone in the expedition team was very motivated.
If they can't deal with the white whale, how can they deal with a mere witch cultist?
After walking for a while, the group arrived at the center of the forest. The Mezas Territory was a border surrounded by forests, so there were many trees.
"Hmm, that's strange, why haven't you encountered any witch cultists yet?"
Julius, who was walking on the far right of the team, frowned. Logically speaking, they were such a conspicuous group that the witch cultists should have discovered them long ago.
But until now, apart from the first batch of witch cultists, no more attacks have come.
"They are definitely here, and they might be planning something bad. Be careful." Natsuki Subaru reminded casually.
In the last time cycle, he was captured by the witch cultists in a cave and tortured beyond recognition.
Now they are probably plotting something because they see that they have so many people.
call out--!
Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking air coming from the forest nearby. Before anyone could react, Natsuki Subaru suddenly flew up into the air and flew towards the forest.
“Ohhhh!!”
With the scream that faded away in an instant, Natsuki Subaru quickly disappeared from everyone's sight. It was not until then that the others reacted belatedly.
“Chase after him!”
At Wilhelm's command, the strongest men quickly jumped off the dragon and ran into the forest.
In a forest shaded by trees, a ground dragon might not be able to run as fast as they could on their own.
During this sudden attack, Xia Yu was sitting on the earth dragon, silently using his spiritual sense to sense everything happening in the distance. He was not worried that Natsuki Subaru would be hurt.
After all, in Sloth's opinion, Natsuki Subaru is also a companion favored by the witch.
"I can't even see the Invisible Hand. It's really powerful." Sensing Natsuki Subaru who was still flying backwards, Xia Yu's eyes showed thought.
Even with his mental strength, he was unable to see the invisible hand. It seemed that the power brought by the witch factor was indeed magical.
It has almost reached the level of a rule, no, you can even remove the word "almost", it is a rule.
The power of the Archbishop of Sin is very much like a flawed rule, just like the Archbishop of Greed. If the flaw in his power is not discovered, then even someone as powerful as Reinhard will not be able to defeat the Archbishop of Greed.
You have to know that Reinhard is the son of the world, and is loved by the world so much that he can get any protection he wants.
But the prerequisite is that this world has such a protection. If not, the world cannot forcibly create it.
Otherwise, Reinhardt could have simply asked for a protection that could defeat the Archbishop of Greed, and he wouldn't have been thrown to the moon by the Archbishop of Greed, although he came back in the end.
That’s right, the world from Zero is actually a cosmic worldview, not a small-box worldview. Outside this square continent is the boundless universe and starry sky.
"Since it could be a rule, maybe we can try this..."
Not knowing what he was thinking of, Xia Yu curled up the corner of his mouth into a smile, and his body slowly disappeared from the spot, and the people around him did not notice this scene.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
“Woooooa ...
Natsuki Subaru was still flying backwards, screaming continuously as he did so.
The invisible hand that caught him was so smooth that he didn't even hit a tree when he was flying backwards, although it would probably only hurt a little.
After all, Natsuki Subaru's physique is no longer that of an ordinary person. The current Natsuki Subaru can even break a tree with one punch.
puff!
After flying for an unknown amount of time, the rapidly retreating scene finally stopped, and Natsuki Subaru was thrown heavily to the ground.
"Hiss, it hurts so much."
Natsuki Subaru covered his hurt butt and looked around. At this moment, he had left the forest road and there was a cave in front of him.
The cave was dark, with some red lights flashing inside. They were pairs of eyes emitting red light.
“Gurgle…”
Natsuki Subaru swallowed his saliva, his legs trembling as he tried to run away, but before he could make any move, a hoarse and crazy voice rang out.
"Oh? This aura, you... is it arrogant?"
As the voice appeared, the owner of the voice also walked out of the cave. He was a thin man with a green bowl-cut hairstyle.
An obvious look of joy appeared on the man's skinny face. His eyeballs widened to the point of almost popping out of their sockets, and the corners of his mouth were raised high, revealing not only his teeth but even his gums.
"What a favor this is!"
The man suddenly grabbed his face with both hands and leaned his body backward greatly. He was able to maintain his balance with such an exaggerated lean. I don’t know whether I should praise his waist or not.
The next second, the man suddenly straightened his body, stared at Natsuki Subaru with a fanatical expression, and howled like crazy.
"For love, for fear of love, for lingering love, for kindness, for grace, for thirst, for favor, for respect, for affection, for the most beloved, for private love, for pure love, for fondness, for affection, for affection, for dear love, for faith, for deep love, for benevolence, for nature, for cherishing love, for deep love, for exclusive love, for hatred love, for loyalty love, for favor, for poverty love, for partiality, for blind love, for friendship, for pity, for love love love love love love love love love——!"
"Being loved by the witch, by Satira, by the witch Satira, your love, your deep love, how diligent this is!"
The madman in front of him gave Natsuki Subaru an extremely uncomfortable feeling. Not only was his behavior illogical, but he himself was just so uncomfortable.
But knowing that he was weak, Natsuki Subaru did not try to interrupt the other party, but thought about how to escape.
As long as he could hold on until others found him, he could defeat the man in front of him, the Archbishop of Sloth.
"you……"
Suddenly, the Archbishop of Sloth stopped frantically, and in that instant he seemed to have become a different person. He stared at Natsuki Subaru with great seriousness and said, "Why aren't you excited about this? You seem to be so favored, but you don't care at all?"
At this moment, Natsuki Subaru felt cold sweat instantly crawling up his back. Facing the madman's questioning, he laughed dryly twice: "Haha, for love..."
"Aaaaaaah! What a laziness!"
"Ah, please forgive my body's laziness that went against my love! I actually forgot to introduce myself. Laziness, laziness, laziness, laziness, it's really too lazy! Please forgive my stupidity of doing nothing and wasting time!"
The Archbishop of Sloth howled as he put his ten fingers into his mouth and started chewing them. When blood splattered all over his fingertips, leaving them in a bloody mess, he suddenly pulled his ten fingers out of his mouth.
Then, he placed one hand on his chest and the other behind his back, and bowed deeply to Natsuki Subaru: "I am the Archbishop of Sloth of the Witch Cult - my name is Petelgeuse Romaniconti!"
After finishing speaking, the Archbishop of Sloth suddenly turned his head 90 degrees and said in a very horrified manner: "So... are you arrogant?"
“…”
At this moment, Natsuki Subaru only felt his heart pounding. He wanted to say something, but facing the extremely horrifying scene in front of him, he couldn't open his mouth.
Gradually, the atmosphere became tense, and the lazy expressions gradually turned cold. The dark, invisible hand emerged and grabbed directly towards Natsuki Subaru.
boom--!
The ground exploded, and Natsuki Subaru jumped away from the spot, successfully avoiding the attack of the invisible hand.
Seeing this scene, Sloth was stunned and shouted in disbelief: "How how how how is this possible! Why why why! This love that should only belong to me! Why can you see it! "
"This is my special love, love, love, love! It's unforgivable!"
The Archbishop of Sloth was confused by this incomprehensible situation, or rather, his thoughts were confused and crazy from the beginning.
The next moment, the mad Archbishop of Sloth madly released a dozen invisible hands, directly towards Natsuki Subaru.
Natsuki Subaru, who could see the trajectory of the attack, dodged everywhere in fear. Due to his improved physical condition, he could dodge easily.
Another reason is that it is difficult for the Bishop of Sloth to increase his speed when controlling so many invisible hands at once.
Unless he retracted all his arms and only used one invisible hand to attack, but his mind was in a mess at the moment and he couldn't think of this at all.
“Ahhh! Unforgivable, unforgivable, unforgivable!!”
Under this continuous mad roar, the Archbishop of Sloth also attacked madly. His only means of attack was the Invisible Hand, and he didn't know any other methods.
After running at such a high intensity for a while, Natsuki Subaru's strength gradually faded. The escape was already mentally tense, and now the fatigue appeared especially quickly.
Soon, an accident occurred.
Because of the Archbishop of Sloth's crazy attack, the surrounding terrain had already suffered a lot of damage, and even the topography had been changed.
The places where Natsuki Subaru can escape are getting fewer and fewer. Most importantly, the Archbishop of Sloth seems to be consciously forcing Natsuki Subaru towards places where he cannot escape.
Finally, the last flat ground was destroyed. Natsuki Subaru, who was in mid-air, looked at the broken ground below and closed his eyes in despair.
After waiting for so long and no reinforcements have arrived, it seems that it will happen again this time.
"Um?"
After waiting for a long time, Natsuki Subaru opened his eyes in confusion, wondering why he hadn't fallen down yet.
"Um?!!"
After opening his eyes, Natsuki Subaru was shocked to find that he was floating in mid-air. The mad Archbishop of Sloth seemed to be trapped in the same place.
"That's a good performance. I thought you could only last a few minutes at most, but I didn't expect you to last this long."
Accompanied by praise, Xia Yu walked out of the forest and then came in front of the Bishop of Sloth.
The Archbishop of Sloth is also quite miserable. He was considered a good man hundreds of years ago and didn't look so ugly. But because of the Witch of Disguise, he eventually became like this.
However, although hateful people may have their pitiful aspects, it is impossible to erase the sins they have committed.
It was explained in the original book that based on the frequency of his activities, Sloth had an activity record that was completely inconsistent with his name. Even in terms of the number of evil deeds he committed, Sloth had reached the point where he was on par with the other five people combined.
For this reason alone, the Archbishop of Sloth cannot be let off.
"Hey, senior, please put me down."
Natsuki Subaru, who was floating in the air, could not have imagined that at this moment he was floating in the air and the Archbishop of Sloth was unable to move, it was most likely Xia Yu's doing.
Regardless of the Archbishop of Sloth, put him down now.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious."
Xia Yu rolled his eyes at Natsuki Subaru and ignored him, letting him float in the sky.
Then he reached out and took out a golden seed from the void.
This is the golden seed that he asked for from the Faded One Xia Yu. He guessed that power is a flawed rule, so perhaps it can become the nourishment of the golden seed.
Well, if possible, he might be able to plant a golden tree in this world, and then try to gain the law, that is, the law of this world.
