Atlas Double Star Book

Chapter 52 The Angel of Death

The metal is heating up.

When the weapons collided violently, the sharp blades pressed against each other, staggered, and collided again!

The silver light howled, bit tightly, and provoked again and again.

There was a lot of clanging in the arena, and in addition, there was no sound, and the thousands of spectators seemed to not exist.

The two knights looked at each other—

Fighting, but it seems to be a dance, full of murderous spirit, and deeply understands the deepest rhythm and love/desire of the other party.

The light of the sword turns, the knights offer sharp roses, and the gods pick them.

When the two swords are in a stalemate, guess the change in strength and predict the opponent's next move.

Rhythm and distance, the lifting of the dagger, blocking the back blow to the head.Assassination, the blade of the sword just blocked the route where the opponent's sword was raised, feinted, and then assassinated.

Sense of distance, constantly changing position, perception of the opponent's attack range

The dagger was raised quickly, and the grid missed the stabbing.Chasing the opponent's blade lightly and swiftly to intercept interference.

The two are very familiar with each other's swordsmanship.

They grew up together, learning riding and archery under the rich shade of the castle, swimming by the river, and climbing tall trees to play tricks on passing travelers.Trand was a servant, but he had always made a humble gesture in front of outsiders. When he was alone with Egg, a boy was a boy.There is always competition in swordplay, hunting, and at the dinner table.

Crowd Rave!

"Damn it, hasn't the time come yet!" Trander glanced at the sky.Can last a while!Trander couldn't help praying secretly: "Baby Neil, you can give me some hope of living...!"

"Don't be distracted."

!

So Trander quickly blocked Egg's menacing blade with the dagger, and the long sword was bounced off. Egg attacked while defending, but Trander was stronger, and he planned to—

Suddenly, the anesthesia intensified, as if the needle thread nailed to his blood vessels was tightened.

The body was out of control, and Trende's balance was off.Egg saw the right moment, grabbed Trander's collar with his free right hand, and kicked Trander's abdomen with his knee.Severe pain and vomiting came, and Trander was thrown to the ground, but the desire to survive was stronger than the restraint of the poison/drug. He fought back the pain and rolled quickly, dodging the sword that Egg poked. .

Trander thought to himself, "Always! He never hesitated when he slashed at me, as if I were an immortal demigod." The force on the wrist was a bit overwhelming, and the poison/drug knocked Trander unconscious Shen Shen, the stars collided in his head.The body is breaking down, there must be a way, a way!

What followed was the phantom-like sound of sword light and wind.

Egg's swordsmanship was light and fast, without any redundancy, and the wind of the sword was like a whip in his hands.Trander rolled over in embarrassment, resisting with the only remaining dagger.

"No... I can't hold it any longer!" Trander thought to himself, Egg's sword cut a bloody gash on his body. Although the wound didn't hurt, he clearly felt that his body was getting worse.

What else can I do? !

The sky was as calm as ever, except for the gathering of dark clouds.The horn of war did not come from the north, and there was no news of Neil.The white spear of the Judgment God shone brightly.

Trand was in a hurry.

The audience cheered and shouted—

"Sinner! Sinner!"

To shut up!

Trand wanted to roar.

"Kill him, Egg, kill that bug!"

The young and energetic noble also stood up and shouted, not minding the elder's gaze.

"Kill him! Kill him—the bastard, the mad dog, the sinner!"

shut up!

Trander wanted to shout, but his voice was hoarse and numb, and his tongue froze.Toxicity is slowly climbing up his physical body.

As the light and shadow flowed, he saw the seats of the nobles... The nobles who supported Yi Ge applauded excitedly, the crown prince clasped his fingers in satisfaction, and the emperor wearing the golden crown remained calm.Mr. Kaloyalo directly covered his eyes.

The audience is laughing and shouting.

The scene of the two fighting for life and death amused them.

At that moment, Trand felt humiliated again.

He originally thought that he could protect Yi Ge by climbing to his current position.

He had already thought about it before, as long as he retreated from the struggle for power between the two princes and took the position of governor of the Western Plateau, he would take Yi Ge away from the imperial capital...they would no longer have to hide their love look at each other.There is no need to be like back then... Egg was chained, and as the son of a conspirator, he knelt in shame in front of everyone, but he was powerless!As long as he thought of that scene, Trand still gritted his teeth.

For so many years, he worked hard to climb up the ladder, from a little-known handyman all the way to the head of the Royal Knights.

But in the end, what is he?

Playthings, consumables, tools... never change!

Just like back then.

Those nobles still looked down on him, coveting his beauty or force.

He saw the emperor—a woman seated on a throne, with a large golden crown in the shape of a sun on a black veil, and a lapis lazuli embroidered pendant spread majestically.

The imperial flag of the golden snake on a blue background flutters in the wind.

He was born and died!Pretending to be a tamed beast, kneeling before the high throne, kissing every hand and every ring stretched out in front of him.He has killed many people, broken through stubbornly resisting cities, and used unfair means to seize the spoils that should belong to him.

But now, the emperor just sat there, admiring his dying struggle.

Trand didn't feel betrayed, after all he had never been loyal to anyone.But the nobles sat comfortably, chatted, talked and laughed, and made no secret of their enjoyment.

"Trander, Trander."

Egg called to him, calling his friends to come and play like he did when he was a child, but the stabbing movements in his hands were unambiguous.

"Baby." Trander smiled wryly and blew a kiss.

The signal didn't come for a long time, and the poison was taking hold. Even if he used his last resort...by the time the troops arrived, he might not be able to hold on anymore.There would be no point in that, and it would involve Neil, and all his cronies would be guillotined.

How to do?

Trand is really out of control.

"What's the matter with you, silly lion?" Egg asked.

That's childish, Trand smiled.It really doesn't work... I can only die here and let Egg live.

"But what should Yi Ge do alone? With such a cold and empty personality, if no one is watching, will Yi Ge completely abandon morality and go astray? Pursue the pleasure of killing, or become sullen... "Trand turned eighteen hundred turns in his mind, going through all the possibilities.

He really didn't dare to imagine, if he left first, would Egg still be able to obtain happiness as a human being.

Those cold thoughts hurt Trand, he raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the Duke—the red-eyed man clasped his hands together nervously, looking like he was about to cry at any time, he looked like a crowd watching the slaughter of cows and bloodletting The little girl... oh, what a silly good old man, Trand couldn't help laughing.

"If Kaloyalo saved Yi Ge once, he probably can save Yi Ge a second time."

he thinks.

The smell of blood spread, and the audience cheered explosively.

"Egg! Egg!"

People chanted the name of the black knight.

That's a real Sybyl warrior.Holding a silver blade, the young man in black tormented the enemy with an absolutely powerful and graceful figure, just like the image of the moon god, the west wind god, the god of war and judgment—Nu, in the murals.

The trial by combat seemed to be coming to an end.

The priest also took up the white spear, ready to welcome the God of Nu to descend from the sky and harvest the sinner's head.

"Kill him!"

The audience is always yelling.

Egg was getting a little annoyed.

He found that today's Trand was very strange.The silly lion obviously has good physical strength, and can compete with others with a big sword in one hand. Even after several months of marching, he came to pester him for love without rest.But why didn't it take long for the trial by combat to start, and Trand was exhausted and was beaten all over the court, rolling and dodging?

There is an unusually sweet smell.

It's very strange... Egg looked at the sword, and then at Trander. It was obviously not the energetic silly lion he was familiar with. The strength in Trander's hand was gradually weakening, and Egg could feel it.

"Hey."

Egg tentatively moved away from the sword, and struck Trander's head with fist and hilt instead.The silly lion failed to escape? !Trand was hit, staggered back a few steps, nosebleeds.Trander wiped the blood from his face, panting and struggling to hold on, and seemed to be on the verge of collapse.Egg felt guilty for a moment.

Both stopped, panting.

The audience booed.The sky darkened, a strong wind picked up, cold air fell, and the flags around the arena crackled.

"What's the matter with you, silly lion?" Egg frowned.

"Warm-up exercise," Trander said firmly, "Now come and fuck hard/You, don't worry sweetheart."

sweet taste.

Egg realized the smell came from the sword in his hand.After the metal heated up, a strange sweet smell wafted out, and the blade seemed to be coated with oil, making it feel weird to the touch.He glanced at the royal seats, and the crown prince looked at him expressionlessly.

Oh, it's poison.

The sword given to him by the Crown Prince was poisoned.

It turned out that he had been attacking Trand with a poisonous sword.

Egg suddenly remembered that it was sung in "Sybil's Battle Song", that the hero Karramon snatched away King Ian's sister, raped her, and then married her smoothly.In order to retaliate, King Ian ostensibly held a grand wedding banquet for his sister, but took the opportunity to poison his sister and Karamon.It was a poison made of mushrooms and cherries, as sweet as wine.Carramon thought he was just drunk, but when the newlyweds were on their way back, a leopard jumped out.The hero Karamon could have easily killed the leopard, but because he was poisoned, he couldn't do it at all, and his wife was killed by the beast.Karamon was distraught.The king's knights who had been in ambush for a long time arrived, killed the leopard, and humiliated the hero who had made great achievements in battle. However, the king personally cut off one of the hero's hands in order to punish Karamon for failing to protect his sister.

The grand epic only narrates stories and friendships, and does not make judgments on characters.When noble young masters are studying grammar in the Emerald Academy, the teacher will explain the "Sybyl Battle Song" to them.Egg knew that the Crown Prince had substituted himself into King Ian, a "resolute and ruler who knows how to rule", as their teacher once commented on King Ian.

"WTF!"

Egg was not happy, he didn't want to hold the poisoned sword anymore.No respect at all.So he never liked the crown prince.He and Trande can clearly compete with each other based on their strength.The crown prince poisoned Trand.It's all right now, I can kill Trander easily, and Trander will be regarded as a sinner by God.

But what angered Egg the most was, could it be that in the crown prince's plot, Trand was the hero who was poisoned, while his own role was just a leopard? ? ?

"Don't cry when the time comes, my young master..." Trand panted with difficulty.

Egg calmed down.The sword in his hand was poisonous. Although he didn't know how severe the poison was, if he slashed a few more times, Trand would definitely die.This is a bit of a hassle.He was even angrier at the thought of the pure-blood nobles celebrating Trand's death triumphantly.He didn't want to see those incompetent fools insulting Trander.

Egg sighed, really can't do it... then he can only die by himself.Trand might be a little sad, right?He's a little unsure, will he?

Forget it, never mind.

A frivolous smile appeared on the corner of his raised mouth, like a crescent moon.

"Igor Feoldovita, don't stop the duel!" the priest snapped.

"..."

Egg glanced back, and the priest fell silent for a moment.The Duke also saw that expression, and couldn't help but feel horrified... because the ice-like youth looked calm, but he looked very much like a person standing on the edge of a cliff, secretly making some kind of frightening decision.

"Don't do that!" The Duke stood up abruptly, trying to jump into the arena to stop him, but was held down by four or five strong knights.He was so anxious that he screamed, although he didn't know what Egg was going to do.

Trand was alarmed.

"What are you doing!"

"..."

Egg didn't answer, but just looked at the ring on Trander's hand.

The ring with a silver lion holding an emerald was given to Yi Ge by the young master of the Ke Luoang family.

Trander suddenly remembered that when Jin Xiong handed over the ring to him, he had said: "There is a poisonous needle hidden in this ring. Master Yi Ge has told you not to press it as a last resort."

Is Egg thinking of something!

Just when Trand was about to take precautions——Egg had already attacked like a leopard, reaching out to touch the emerald ring.

The needle in the ring, Egg is going to commit suicide!

This terrible thought flashed through Trander's mind like lightning.Absolutely not!

Trander couldn't care about anything else, he threw away the dagger, and covered the ring with his own hand to stop Egg's crazy behavior.From the bottom of his heart, Trander would rather stab himself with a poisonous needle, because it would be the easiest way, and Egg would not have to feel guilty all the time for killing him.

The two almost passed each other, but Yi Ge dropped the sword in his hand, so he took advantage of the opportunity to pick up the dagger that Trand had dropped!Then he stabbed Trand's arm mercilessly—

Trander dodged to the side, but was still cut a bloody gash.

Egg attacked again, and the unarmed Trander had to pick up the sword that Egg had dropped, and blocked the attack one by one.

The two jumped away and paused temporarily.

Trander checked the palm of his hand in a panic, looking for the wound punctured by the poisonous needle, but found that his hand was fine.He pressed the emerald ring again, and no poisonous needle would stick out at all.It was only then that Trander realized that he had been cheated!

"Egg Swalds!"

Trand was so angry that his lungs were going to explode!He actually thought that Egg was going to commit suicide by pressing the ring with the poisonous needle in it?

"Hahahaha." Egg was rarely happy.

He did it on purpose.

Egg was really just trying to trick Trander into forcing the two to switch weapons so that Trander could hold the poisoned sword.As long as the poisonous sword was in Trand's hand, Egg didn't worry.At least in this way, Trander can be safer... Maybe he can be killed smoothly and win the trial by combat.

"But it's not necessarily true," Egg tossed the snatched dagger to play, thinking to himself, "What if Trand is still very weak, and I'll kill him with a knife?"

Egg frowned, and turned to Trand and said, "Would you?"

"Will it happen! You liar!" Trand was both angry and sad, thinking that the narcissist was so heartless to a certain level.

"Hahaha silly lion," Egg laughed innocently, "I don't have to show mercy now."

The audience held their breath for a moment, the changes in the arena were unbelievable.Egg was clearly in full strength just now, and with one more sword strike, he could pierce the half-Sybyl's throat.They longed for this scene, the blood flowing along the sun-burned muscles, the strong and arrogant beast being conquered.

However, Egg's behavior was unimaginable. He stretched out his hand to snatch Tland's ring, but Tland twisted his hand, and the weapon fell to the ground, but was picked up by the enemy instead.And Egg himself could only use the dagger pitifully.The nobles were very worried when they saw it, and the old Sybil ladies who loved Igo covered their eyes with feather fans.

"Bring back the sword!" The Crown Prince couldn't sit still, stood up and shouted.

Everyone looked at the crown prince suspiciously.But they quickly understood the meaning of it—because Trander held the sword, he made several cuts on Egg's body in a short while, and the pure blood of the Sybils flowed out.

And Egg gradually became depressed, and soon became exhausted.

The tide of the duel has turned!

Trand was about to kill Egg.

"Damn it! Change the sword back!!!" The crown prince became more and more anxious.

Kaloyalo was so anxious that he looked at the emperor in a panic, like a domestic cat eagerly resting its front paws on its master's knee.The emperor knew it well, but didn't make a statement.Probably because she also saw that the poison painted on the sword was not lethal, so it did not affect the theocracy.

"Continue." The emperor said lightly, lazily resting his forehead with one hand, and the golden snake bone chain jingled.

There were snowflakes in the sky, and the wind was howling.

"what happened……"

Trander was in a panic. He found that since the two of them switched weapons, Egg had fallen into a reckless and frenzied state: only focused on attacking, not defending at all!

Because of the toxin interference, Trand couldn't control his strength precisely, and the result was that he would hurt Egg if he was not careful.And since Yi Ge was injured, his speed and strength have also dropped significantly...why?

"Damn it! Change the sword back!!!"

Trander heard the crown prince yelling, he looked at the royal seat, and found that the expressions of the nobles had changed!This is absolutely fraudulent!The sweet smell is faint, coming from the blade...

Trande suddenly realized that this sword is poisonous!Egg gave him the poisoned sword on purpose...

"Stop, stop!! This is not fair!" Trander yelled with all his might.

But Egg didn't give him a chance at all, the dagger was fast and hard, forcing Trand to swing his sword in defense, and then recklessly pounced on the sharp weapon while the blade was swung out.

Trander was about to collapse: "Crazy!! Stop it!"

"Do not."

madman! ! !Trande was so angry that he simply threw away the poisonous sword and fought unarmed.

Seeing that his opponent hesitated, Egg stepped forward and punched Tland with his fist.The two wrestled together!The audience was excited again, loudly encouraging the fit knights to fight hand to hand.

With great strength, Trander grabbed Yi Ge's neck, flipped over and rode on Yi Ge's body.Egg stabbed Trande's throat with a dagger, but his wrist was firmly pinched.

The two were at a stalemate with each other, like two swords intertwined.

"I beg you, don't be like this..." Trand whispered, almost in tears, "Can I give in to them? Let them exile me, or...but don't die for me, please gone."

Egg curled his lips, speechless.Since he was a child, he couldn't see the silly lion showing such a soft expression.but……

"You're a Sybyl, and a Sybyl can't be defeated, can't give up," Egg said.

He looked at the sky, and the snowflakes were falling on the tips of Trund's slightly curly hair, black as a raven's feathers.The man's emerald green eyes were as moist as an oasis in the morning, beautiful and crystal clear.Egg smiled, he just likes such arrogant people.God Nu will also bless such a man, he thought.

"There is no sword to wound, no darkness to fear."

His Trander cannot yield to the enemy, so Trander must live to win, and the divine right judge will be fair.

Egg felt a pity that he would not see this silly lion again.

But without hesitation, he pulled back the hand holding the dagger—towards his heart.

!!!

Trander was amazed, he didn't expect Egg to be so strong.Even though he was pinching Egg's wrist, the sudden force caught him off guard——

Egg is going to kill himself.

Fire-like fear burned through his mind, and Trander could already imagine the scene where he failed to hold Egg and the dagger was stuck in Egg's chest.

Anger, fear, panic, as if hot molten iron poured from the head!

Trand couldn't take it anymore.Toxins become irrelevant.

"madman!!"

The rage in the body gushed out, and the body was the first to respond.Trand's strength increased in vain, and he pressed down on Igor's hand holding the dagger——

The click of bones.

Like removing a link from a chain.

He broke Egg's arm and dislocated it.The dagger fell to the side with a clang.

The crazy atrocity was stopped, and the two were out of breath.

"Tsk tsk." Egg looked at his dislocated arm with disgust, as if it had nothing to do with him.

"I can't spare you... what are you thinking, bastard..."

Trand was really about to cry.

The audience didn't understand the development of the two, at this moment——

The golden flame rose high, piercing the dark clouds——

Strange runes.

Like some kind of signal.And that golden light is dazzling and serene, shining peacefully in the snow-falling sky.Like a daytime shooting star.

Everyone looked at the light, not knowing why.

"Ah, ah...Neil." Trander was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

He knew it.

The Petlyar star will bring him victory.

The author has something to say: Happy Chinese New Year, friends XDDDD!

I was in a hurry to go to my grandma's house for dinner, so I sent it out first.Come back to catch bugs at night~
