Chapter 22 Chapter 21

Theodore's spear had been lost in the battle, and now he held a sharp Gladys dagger in his hand.The scales on his left arm are combined into a strong shield, and no sword in the world can easily break through those hard scales.But his enemies had no swords.The demon, which was almost three times the size of Theodore, was holding a giant chain hammer in his hand. The spiked hammer head at the end of the iron chain was as big as a calf. When the hammer hit the ground, the whole earth trembled, and the dense fog shrouded in all directions parted and closed.Theodore didn't dare to fight head-on at all. He used his extraordinary speed to constantly change directions and try to attack, but he couldn't get close to his enemy at all.

The demon has let Odell go.She stood aside, tremblingly watching this terrifying battlefield.Until she saw D. "Run!" She yelled at him hoarsely, "You are definitely not his match!" D hesitates.The scene in the dream came to the fore again, no, this is not a dream.The black demon stood in front of him, his eyes were red, and his head had sharp horns.Holding a sledgehammer in his hand, he slammed hard at the thin and brave mermaid warrior in front of him. He has escaped many times.From Wallachia to Moldavia.Then on to Hungary. And the last few times, in tents in Turkey.In the castle of Bonnelli.

He has lost his people and his land.The last thing he had wanted to see for several years had also become a reality - Radu got his throne.He has nothing left to lose.Time seems to have returned to Adrianople fifteen years ago. At that time, the only thing he owned was the ring on his finger and the long sword on his body. justice and loyalty. Memories flooded his mind from years ago, and he thought he would see his father's face, because these two things were his father's relics.But what appeared in front of him was the face of his adoptive father Hunyadi. "Promise me to fight for Christ," Hunyadi told him.

D clenched the hilt of his sword tightly.In any case, he knew that he could not escape this time. He gritted his teeth and rushed forward. He heard Odell wailing in despair, and he deliberately didn't look at her face.When he rushed to the battlefield, there was a slight ripple in his heart. He remembered that the other party had clearly told him that she had never loved him. He didn't know what he was thinking.He is a dragon knight, and the opponent belongs to the demon clan.There will be absolutely no future between them.Better not.Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous.

The devil's hammer hit his sword blade, making a deafening bang, echoing in the open four fields.He felt like his ears had been pricked by needles, and his mind was buzzing.But his sword was not broken.This is the long sword given to his father by Sigismund, the founder of the Dragon Knights, for the sole purpose of slaying demons. D was pleasantly surprised to find that after the hammer and sword struck each other, a shallow gap was cut on the opponent's invincible hammer. But that was just a gap.In the next round, the hammer smashed down, and D avoided the hard handle, but failed to escape the hammer's counterattack.He was too late to resist with his sword, and the heavy hammer hit his left arm.He clearly heard the sound of his own bones breaking, and Odell's scream.

Does she care about herself so much?Then why did she leave him in the first place? D wanted to turn his head and look at the girl, maybe for the last time.But he couldn't turn around.His companion chopped off one of the demon's sharp horns with a sword, but was grabbed by the angry demon and stepped on the ground.Crimson flames burst from the demon's eyes, and he raised the hammer high! Regardless of his badly injured left arm, D rushed forward and swung his sword desperately, finally piercing the demon's waist fiercely with his sword, but this could not change the attack of the falling hammer at all.Compared with the demon's huge body, the mermaid warrior he stepped on was so small and miserable that Theodore lost his weapon and was completely powerless to resist.

At this moment, the atmosphere on the battlefield changed again. Theodore's body could not move, he stared straight at the frozen water above his head, and silently chanted an ancient spell. There was a loud "crack", and the first crack appeared in the flat heaven, and then continued to expand.The demon stopped the attack of the hammer in his hand, and he raised his head in wonder. At that moment! The ice above the head suddenly shattered into a thousand pieces, and the huge ice cones smashed to the ground like countless sharp crossbow bolts! The icicle pierced through the bodies of the zombie soldiers in an instant. Their limbs were still waving ridiculously in the air, but their bodies had been firmly nailed to the ground.

D watched all this in amazement, but he soon discovered that it had no effect on the demon.The moment the ice pick was about to hit him, his body burst into black flames, and those sharp points melted into water before they touched him. But this was enough time for Theodore to counterattack. He got up from the ground and returned to D's side.But he didn't intend to fight side by side with the opponent at all.He just said "Run!" and quickly picked up the dropped dagger and charged at his enemy again. D had no intention of running away from the beginning.He just didn't understand why everyone told him to run away.He is a dragon rider.The dragon knight exists to fight against demons.The turbulent water waves above his head surged, he gritted his teeth and swung his sword.

As if returning to a dreamland, time and time again, he struggled to fight against demons several times taller than himself.But the reality is not so helpless.Whenever he is in danger, Theodore always lends a helping hand to him in time.And he's doing the same thing.This was the most hearty battle in his life, even though, from the very beginning, they had no chance of winning. Because the enemy's wounds can heal in an instant, but they can't do this.Even if they are the most heroic fighters, their strength, and fighting spirit, are always limited.Precious time passed bit by bit in the fierce bloody battle.

There are fewer and fewer zombies still active on the battlefield, but there are only a few mermaid soldiers left.Even they themselves are already powerless. "Run away!" Theodore said to him more than once. "Shut up!" D shouted back immediately. "This is my territory, this shouldn't be your battle!" "He came after me, not you!" "We will die here together in the end!" "Then die together!" D waved his sword to stop the enemy's attack on his companion. But apparently Theodore saved him more times.Compared with D, although he lacks in strength, he has more experience in fighting the enemy.

He held the dagger tightly in his hand, and with lightning speed, he almost pierced the enemy into a sieve.No matter how strong the enemy's healing ability is, he cannot heal all wounds at the same time. But not enough, far from enough.The enemy is too strong.If this continues, the two of them will be hit first before they can cause fatal damage to him.Worst of all, demons are not afraid of the point of their sword, but they cannot physically resist the opponent's hammer. Theodore suddenly stands in front of D. "Run away!" He said for the last time, "Otherwise it will be too late!" He seemed to have made up his mind and took over all the opponent's attacks.But his speed has slowed down, completely unable to compare with the beginning of the battle. The devil's hammer finally caught up with him, slanting across his body.Theodore let out an exclamation, and flew out like a kite with a broken string. D's eyes were filled with tears, and the scene seemed familiar.He suddenly remembered that many years ago, when he first came to the magic space, his companion Karel died heroically in order to save him.He really doesn't understand why everyone is protecting themselves.He has grown up!Not that teenage boy anymore.He can carry out the mission on his own. He once defeated the Turkish army of 100,000 with 30,000 cavalry. He is Vlad III, Grand Duke of Wallachia, and he is the son of the dragon! D roared and raised his sword again.But this time, the tip of his sword was not pointed at his enemy.He turned the long sword upside down and inserted the point of the sword into his chest without hesitation!There, a dragon's brand was engraved. Every new member who is branded will hear a story: According to the story, the brand is magical and can protect the members from the invasion of evil spirits, so they can fight the demons without being confused.But at the critical moment of their lives, if they destroy this brand and allow the devil to enter their hearts, they will be able to gain strength enough to rival each other. This is just a legend, no one knows if it is true.Because everyone who has verified is already dead. Of course D doesn't know either.But he had no other choice.He couldn't let his companion sacrifice for himself, sacrifice again. Otherwise, he would rather die than forgive his incompetence. The sharp long sword pierced his chest.Blood splatters blurred his vision.He saw that ferocious demon walking towards him step by step on the flames.Every step he landed, the grass withered and the flowers withered, leaving only huge rainbow-like shells scattered in the viscous blood, which were the scales of the dead mermaid soldiers. D grabbed the long sword and rushed forward.His eyes were full of tears and blood, he could see nothing, he could not hear anything, and the stench of blood and carrion filled his nose, surrounding him in all directions.He felt the hammer hit his body, and he took a sharp step back, coughing up a mouthful of blood.But he couldn't feel the pain.He didn't fall either.There was a strong smell of blood all over the sky, frantically pouring into his body from eyes, nose, mouth and ears, submerging his nerves like a flood.He knew that the other party was more seriously injured than him. He swung his sword like crazy, stabbing hard into the hard body on the opposite side time and time again, pulling out his heart, pulling out his intestines, cutting his stomach, and stabbing hard at the other side with his sword.He heard the great hammer slam into the ground and the chains rattle, but he kept swinging his sword. Far away, as if from the other side of the world, through a transparent tulle, Theodore's cry and a girl's sad cry can be faintly heard. who is that girlWhy is she crying? D tried to reach out a hand to comfort her, but he couldn't lift it.He tried to open his eyes wide to see the figure in front of him clearly, but he couldn't see anything.He felt that his body was both heavy and light, as if he had been falling, sinking into a dark abyss, but at the same time seemed to be rising, entering a place of infinite light. He doesn't know where he is. He is exhausted. He closed his eyes.
