Looking forward to another world.

Chapter 1194 I only strike once
Although Shardi was not clear about the identity of the "Sky Hunter", as a holy envoy of the temple, she was very clear about the identities of the other holy envoys.

According to her, the "Giant" is the strategic magician of the Construction Department in the Kingdom of Reburu. The "Tyrant" and "Basher" are also from the Kingdom of Reburu and are sword masters in that country where war is a daily routine.

As one of the only two strategic-level magicians in the Kingdom of Reburu, the "Giant" used his status and identity as a construction magician to promise great benefits to the two sword masters in the country, and eventually lured the two into the temple.

Many construction magicians are proficient in alchemy and can make all kinds of magic items or magic weapons. Strategic-level construction magicians like "Giant Soldier" can even make modern secret treasures that are second only to ancient secret treasures in power. With this ability, plus the support of the Temple, and cutting-edge magic technology such as making magic dolls, it is very easy to win over a few sword masters.

If the Giant Soldier had not been afraid of exposing the existence of the Temple, he would not have dared to approach the Sword Saints in the country so recklessly. He could have at least won over two or three more Sword Saint-level figures.

Thanks to this, the status of the "Giant Soldier" in the Temple is very high, and its importance is second only to the leader "Sky Hunter". Many of the magical technologies mastered by the Temple are reproduced and used by him, so much so that the "Sky Hunter" attaches great importance to him.

Perhaps it is because of this that the "Giant Soldier" is the only one in the temple who knows the true identity of the leader.

In comparison, "Fire Princess" is more responsible for many small and large chores in the temple.

If the role of the "Giant Soldier" is equivalent to the technical director of a force, then the role of the "Fire Princess" is equivalent to the manager.

As for the leader "Tian Shou", he is naturally responsible for the overall coordination, issuing orders, and formulating and issuing decision-making policies.

Compared with these three people, the positions of the other four holy envoys are indeed no different from those of high-level thugs, and they are only responsible for implementing the instructions issued from above.

Whether it's exploring ancient ruins and searching for technological crystals like Shardi, or collecting materials needed to make magic dolls like Giga, they are all instructions from above.

Unfortunately, when Liger asked about the true identity of "Fire Princess", Shardi refused to reveal anything.

"I will tell you everything else you ask, but not about Fire Princess."

Charles was very resolute.

She even said something to Lige that surprised him.

"Regarding the identity of the "Fire Princess", you should not ask me, but ask your old lover."

After saying this, Shardi was unwilling to mention the matter of "Fire Princess" anymore.

This made Lige frown tightly.

It can be seen that Sharti's attitude is extremely firm. Lige also knows that even if he kills her, this cold Valkyrie will most likely not say anything.

Worse still, if he were to capture her regardless of the consequences, trying to search her memory, or use the [spell] to force her to submit, there was a high possibility that she would commit suicide on the spot.

"never mind."

Li Ge had no choice but to temporarily put aside this question and change it to another one.

"What about the Abyss Breath? Why are you able to control the Abyss Breath and even possess it?"

Li Ge's question was met with only a reluctant answer.

"The breath of the abyss was brought here by Tyrant and Bass Snake." Shardi said, "Those two said that this was something that the Giant Soldier gave them and asked them to bring here."

"I don't know much about the Aura of the Abyss either. I just know that even the 'Fire Princess' won't touch that thing."

"Only the 'Sky Hunter' and the 'Legion' have been in contact with the abyss."

After thinking about it, Xiaerti said.

"There is only one thing I can tell you, that is that the abyss aura can not only be released to create infected people like this time, and mass-produce miscellaneous soldiers that can attack everyone crazily, but it can also be used as material for a variety of forbidden magic techniques."

"Whether it's the magic puppet or any of the holy objects in the temple, the abyss aura is used in the production process."

"This doesn't seem to be a technology left over from the ancient magic civilization period. Instead, the Giant Soldier itself used various magic technologies to create magic, and through its own research, improvement, and adjustment, it eventually produced such a result."

"So the 'Giant Soldier' ​​is obsessed with the Abyss Breath, and even believes that the Abyss Breath is an omnipotent magical material that is enough to change the status quo of modern magic technology, and the 'Sky Hunter' also supports him in doing so."

After hearing what Sharti said, Lige's spirits suddenly lifted.

At this moment, he remembered a lot of things.

For example, the cold energy used by those magic puppets when fighting.

For example, the so-called holy object also possesses that cold energy.

For example, when the Mad Dog Prince used the so-called holy object to control others and turned them into violent and out-of-control people who did not distinguish between friend and foe, those out-of-control people looked like this.

The most obvious feature of those people is that their eyes become completely black, including the whites of their eyes, as if they were painted black.

Aren’t these symptoms exactly the same as those of the infected people who were contaminated and corroded by the aura of the abyss?

And that cold energy is not only evil and ominous, but will also cause people to completely lose control of their bodies when they come into contact with it. They will become stiff and unable to move, and can only be slaughtered by the enemy.

This out-of-control state is very similar to the symptoms of those infected.

"I see."

Liger understood.

"That cold energy is most likely a derivative of the abyss aura. It is a byproduct produced when the abyss aura is used as a material for magic."

Using the breath of the abyss as material for creating magic was something that Lige had never heard of, even in the Source World.

Even the abyss creatures in the abyss just use the abyss breath naturally, just like humans breathe air. Lige has never heard of any magic in the abyss that uses the abyss breath as material.

I'm afraid, just as Sharte said, this is a use that was discovered and developed by the "Giant", a strategic-level magician of the construction system, and only he can use the breath of the abyss in this way.

The "Giant Soldier" himself is extremely obsessed with the breath of the abyss. If this happened in the Source World or in the ancient magic civilization period, it would definitely be regarded as a taboo. Even if he was regarded as a believer in the abyss, it would not be an exaggeration.

"Although he has never seen the Abyss, or even heard of it, the Giant Soldier is probably no different from a believer in the Abyss."

Li Ge made such a judgment.

Afterwards, Lige asked Sharti many questions and obtained a lot of information about the temple from Sharti.

Unfortunately, although this information was important, it failed to answer the two most fundamental questions in Lige's mind.

Who is "Tenshu"?

Is there any connection between the temple and the abyss?

There are only two questions that have not been answered yet.

But at least he knew the purpose of the temple.

"If you have a way to leave the secluded place, it'd be best to do it as soon as possible."

Xiaerti looked at Lige and suddenly said such words.

"The technological crystals have been basically collected. With the assistance of the "Giant Soldiers", the liberation ceremony will probably proceed at a very fast speed."

"According to the original plan, our revolution would officially begin and end next year."

"Now that the potential threat from the Hidden World has been resolved, I have not left the Hidden World and returned to the Temple. I am even acting on my own in the Hidden World. They may have guessed that I would expose the intelligence of the revolution like this."

In other words, this so-called revolution may come earlier than expected.

Maybe, it is already happening in the outside world now, who knows.

"...You're not going back?"

Lige did not feel much sense of urgency. Instead, he looked at Shardi with dim eyes and asked this question.

Instead of speaking, Xiaerti chose to remain silent.

In her mind, Shardi began to recall a conversation that had taken place not long ago.

That was a conversation that took place after she chose to act on her own.

"What on earth are you planning to do?"

“…I want to challenge that man again.”

"If you want to challenge him, you can find another opportunity. Now you must first carry out the task assigned by the leader."

"You are enough for the mission. I will help you to contain him."

"Why are you so obsessed with him?"

"........."

"He's very strong, you might die."

"Do you think I care?"

““…………””

Shortly after this conversation, Shardi discovered that Lige had been stopped by Giga and took the initiative to find Lige.

Then, she was defeated.

But she didn't die.

So, when "Fire Princess" and others completed their mission and left the secluded place, the two had another conversation.

That time, Sharte said goodbye to "Fire Princess".

and so……

"I'll just stay here."

Xiaerti's voice became extremely soft, and her eyes became even dimmer.

Looking at Shardi like this, for some reason, Lige's mood also became not so good.

Thinking of the cold but brilliant Valkyrie in the past, before Lige could react, he had already opened his mouth and expressed his true feelings.

"You look really unpleasant."

As he spoke, Lige closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he actually took out the Hermit.

Moreover, the knife and the scabbard were taken out together.

"What do you want to do?"

Shardi was awakened by the sudden burst of sharp energy, and his body subconsciously tensed up as he watched Liger take out his sword.

Liger did not answer the question, but put the hermit on his waist.

"One knife."

Li Ge spoke calmly.

"……what?"

Charles was stunned.

"I will only strike once." Lige looked at Xiaerdi intently and said, "Don't you want to duel with me?"

"Although I have no interest in it anymore, I can still force myself to make a move."

Liger placed his hand on the hilt of the knife and lowered his body.

"If you can take this blow, I lose."

When Charity heard this, she didn't feel insulted, but angry.

Because, from Lige's body, a burning breath that seemed to be able to burn the three thousand worlds rose up.

The flames suddenly burst out from Lige's body like flowing magma, and then suddenly gathered towards the knife at his waist.

The flames poured in along the edge where the handle and scabbard were connected, and gathered inside the scabbard.

No, it did not gather in the scabbard, but gathered on the blade hidden in the scabbard.

At this moment, Sharti only felt as if a small sun was compressed in the scabbard and attached to the invisible blade.

"------"

The terrifying aura gradually spread like a raging firestorm.

The scorching heat seemed to set the earth on fire, causing everything in sight to distort and sway.

Shardi's extraordinary senses made her feel the fatal threat almost instinctively, causing her to unconsciously touch the Holy Sword of Ice and hold it tightly.

“…What if I can’t take it?”

The dullness in Shardi's eyes faded a little, and a faint light shone up.

"Can't take it?" Li Ge said indifferently: "If you can't take it, you will be my servant until you can take it."

Anyway, he has a lot of servants around him, and Lige has long stopped resisting this.

Xiaerti's talent is still good, at least stronger than Melo and Naisha. If she was not born in the Akasha Continent, but in the Source World, she might have become a saint soon, or even already become a saint.

If not for this, with Yanifete's pride, she would not have taken a fancy to her and left the sword of inheritance to her.

There is some bad fate between me and her, so if that's the case, I'll try to pull her out of the quagmire of frustration.

The other party's talents should not be buried here, and they should not stop here.

"it is good!"

But Xiaerti didn't think too much about it and agreed directly.

She knew that what she would face next was a sword strike that would shake the world.

But... this is exactly what she wants.

She really wanted to know how strong Lige's true strength was, and how much worse her sword was compared to the sword he swung with all his strength.

Anyway, I have already been defeated and know that I am no match for him, so I should accept the defeat calmly and recognize the gap between myself and him.

Swing your sword!

All you have to do is swing the sword!

No matter what the future will be like, at least for now, I must wield the sword!
It was this kind of intuition that Sharti's extraordinary senses gave her, making her concentrate.

Unfortunately, she can't change anything now.

"Breathing of the Sun: Type Thirteen..."

A low voice sounded in this world.

"Secret: Blooming."

The sky and the earth suddenly brightened.

Became a fiery red.

All Xiaerti remembered was that he saw a flash of knife light at the end.

A blade of light that is as hot as the sun and can cut through the world...
