Chapter Fourteen(1/3)
There was a burning earth under my feet, and there was a heavy rain above my head, and screams and wailings were everywhere. Nothing was closer to the abyss of hell than here.
The old knight was in this Shura field, and his ominous premonition was getting stronger and stronger.
"Teacher, do you remember the last time we fought?" Sel'ot said with a smile. He still seemed relaxed and relaxed in this hellish battlefield.
"It was raining so heavily that day." The old man sighed and said.
"I still want to ask you that question, why do you believe those people's words? Why do you chase me?" Sel's expression suddenly became extremely indignant.
"I also want to ask you why you want to serve the prince. You should guess that the grievances that caused you back then were planned by him." The old knight asked back.
"I am just using the prince to avenge me. With my own strength, I cannot do what I think in my heart." Sel's heart said coldly.
"You don't need to deceive yourself. The reason you serve the prince is because of your ambition. When I was in the Paladin, I saw your vigorous ambition. You want to stand in a high position, want to hold power, and don't want to be instructed by anyone. Even if I have His Majesty the King, you never take it seriously." The old knight sighed and said.
"I understand, you want to kill me for this matter. My existence proves your failure and carefully cultivate a reckless and depraved Paladin. This is your shame and the Paladin's Order." Sel's tone said in a heavy tone.
"You are wrong. I never thought you were my failed work. I never thought your fall was a stain of the Paladin. I just worried that the prince would become more difficult to deal with after he got you." The old knight said calmly.
Sel's no interface this time, he looked at the teacher he had taught.
"Your worries have happened. His Royal Highness, who has my prince, is like a tiger. This time I am ordered to destroy you and your Knights." Sel's coldly said.
"Oh, is it? As far as I know, you are not successful, and the prince's men tried their best to exclude you. The prince once gave you a great opportunity, but was messed up by you. Therefore, even the prince himself lost interest in you. This time, there is another leader in the capital. You may just be just a helper who specializes in dealing with me." The old knight said with a smile.
The reason he said this was to anger Sel's Ott. To be fair, with his physical strength, he could no longer fight against Sel's Ott, who was in the peak state. If he did not find Sel's weakness in Sel's will and opened a breakthrough, he would definitely lose.
As the old knight expected, with a deafening roar, Sel'ert rushed towards him with a long sword.
Anger can make mistakes, but anger can also tap into people's hidden potential. The power emitted by the wielding sword pushes away the surrounding flames.
The sword light shone across the night sky like a rapid lightning.
With a loud "when", sparks splashed, the old knight's body retreated, and his arms were numb.
"You are old, you won't be so bad as you three years ago." Sel'ert said with a laugh. As the laughter sounded, the sword fell down again.
The old rider looked at the merciless sword. He had no room for dodging. Behind him was a raging fire, which would be even more unfavorable once he stepped into it. In desperation, the old man crossed his hands and held his long sword in his right hand to welcome the long horns that were shot down like lightning.
The white light enveloped the old knight's whole body. The sword in his hand emitted a fluorescent golden light, and the light kept flowing like clear stream water. With a loud "boom", the flames around him burst out. The old knight stood tall there, with white light flashing all over his body. He was holding the golden sword in his hand like a god.
Sel'ert was popped up far away and looked a little embarrassed, but as soon as he stood up, he laughed and said, "Teacher, you are really old. When facing me, you have to use the Paladin's shield."
"I admit that I am indeed old, but you should be very clear that you, who have fallen, do not have the ability to exert this magical power." The old knight said calmly.
"Yes, I did lose the power of the Paladin. It is precisely for this reason that the Prince gave me this sword in my hand. You should be very clear about the power of this sword and also very clear about what it means to hold this sword." A cold smile appeared on the corner of Sel's mouth.
"Although you have the true 'Blood God's Spear', can you use the power of the Bloodthirsty Corps? That is the highest secret of the Delizhi Kingdom." The old knight said calmly: "I don't know the correct way to use it. The 'Blood God's Spear' is just a sharp long sword."
The old knight's expression suddenly became surprised. In front of him, Sel's Ott was gradually shrouded in a strange red light, and the long sword also emitted a red light.
"It's a pity that you're only half right." Sailort said.
When the old knight saw everything in front of him, he understood everything. Under the reflection of the fire, he seemed old and helpless: "The prince signed an agreement with the Delizhi Kingdom earlier than His Majesty?"
"I can't answer this question." Sel'ert shook the red sword in his hand and said with a sneer. The sword waved up again, sweeping towards the old knight with a blood light. The flames suddenly extinguished under the reflection of the sword light.
Using the power of the Paladin, he exerted the power of the bloodthirsty sword technique. Even Monstock faced such an opponent for the first time. The two long swords collided with each other again, and the blood light swallowed the white light wrapped around the old cavalry. The golden long sword spread slightly and bounced the red long sword.
"Haha, the Kingdom of Delizhi did not give everything to the prince. You can't exert the true power of bloodthirsty swordsmanship." The old knight said with a smile.
"However, it's enough to kill you." Sel's Alt was not moved by it this time. After saying this, Sel's Alt shook the sword in his hand and rushed towards the old knight again.
The golden light and red blood flames in the flames are intertwined.

On the far side of the flames, the escort of the Legal Affairs Department was busy saving his injured companions from the fire.
The terrible scene made everyone frightened.
The original careful arrangement has long disappeared, and under such circumstances, no one can keep his original calm.
In addition, the deafening sounds of sword collisions in the fire also told everyone that a fierce battle was going on.
Almost everyone could guess that with such strength, he could survive such a fierce explosion, there was absolutely no second one except Paladin Monstock, and the only one who could tie the Paladin was the fallen Paladin Sel.
Although everyone wanted to see what the situation was, the blazing flames blocked everyone's way.
Among all, the old knight is nothing more concerned about than his most proud disciple Manheld.
Manheld held a long sword and looked for a gap that could rush into the sea of fire, but to his disappointment, the sea of fire was connected to the surroundings, and he could not even be able to enter and see the situation inside.
He raised the sword above his head and crossed his hands. Manheld's body was also shrouded in white light, and the sword in his hand also flashed with a golden luster.
"Are you planning to break in?" Just as Manheld wanted to break into the sea of fire, a cold and unconscious voice came from behind him.
Manheld looked back and saw a man standing behind him with a wooden look and no sense of sunshine on his face.
"I said that we are responsible for unexpected events, and your only role is to stay at your post. If Sel's escapes from the sea of fire, you must intercept him." The man said calmly.
"Are you not going to care about my teacher?" Manhed asked.
"The safety of Lord Monstock is related to the life and death of the kingdom, but didn't I just say it? I am responsible for the unexpected incident. Your duty is to stick to your post. Do you don't even know the most basic discipline?" said the man.
"It's not that I have forgotten the discipline. I don't trust any officials in the Gabu and the Law and Political Department at all." Manheard said bluntly.
"At this time, division is the most dangerous thing. We have each done our own strength. The people in the Legal Affairs Bureau are not afraid of death. Our sacrifices are not small. The action plan was formulated by us and you. It seems that it is not fair to say this." The man said calmly.
Manheld had nothing to say this time, and he turned his body and walked towards the distance.
The man looked at Manheld's back as he gradually moved away, shook his head slowly, and then waved his hand.
Immediately a group of people holding shovels ran towards him.
The man pointed at the sea of fire and said nothing.
Those who held the shovel immediately dug up, the wet soil was thrown into the fire, and a passage appeared in the middle of the sea of fire. Looking at the passage gradually widening and deeper, Manheld's mood calmed down slightly.
Suddenly, a thunderous roar broke out in the middle of the sea of fire, and the flames were rolled up by the violently waving airflow for more than ten meters high.
An ominous premonition passed through Manheld's mind, and he could no longer stand calmly.
His arms crossed and raised high, a roar of white light enveloped his whole body. Manheld shot into the sea of fire like lightning.
※※※
Under the sea of fire, Sel'ert looked at everything in front of him with a blank expression.
The old knight knelt on the ground with one leg, and behind him was a dark guy standing in the sea of fire.
The man was wearing a black leather tights, his head and face were covered with black cloth, as if he was a ghost in the darkness. He was holding a sharp short sword in his hand, and blood was dripping from one end of the short sword.
"This is my duel and should not be destroyed by anyone." Sel's voice said coldly, with a strong murderous aura in his tone.
"This is not what I mean. Mr. Darkru spent 200,000 gold coins to assassinate the leader of the Paladin at this moment. I don't want to anger you, I just use the money to do things for others." said the man covered in darkness.
"I really didn't expect the Paladin to maintain such a majestic posture even if he died." The dark man said with a sneer.
Suddenly, a long sword with blood light stabbed towards him. The dark man was obviously prepared for it. He gently retreated into the sea of fire, and the blazing flames could not hurt him at all.
"The work is done, I will go to get the reward promised by Mr. Darkru." As he said that, the man disappeared into the sea of fire like a ghost.
Sel'ert looked at the teacher who was kneeling on the ground with one leg, as if he was the moment he received the appointment of the Paladin, and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
How famous he was once, how extraordinary his skills were, he was once compared to the cornerstone of the royal family by everyone, but now he is dead under a short sword from the darkness.
Just when Sel'ert was feeling infinite emotion, he suddenly felt a strong murderous aura coming back towards him.
A young man who was like a god of wrath suddenly broke into the sea of fire, and a golden sword rolled up a thousand feet of flames and rushed towards him.
Sel's own was not interested in fighting this junior. The battle just now consumed his energy very much. He rushed into the sea of fire without saying a word.
How could Manheld let the enemy who killed the teacher run away? He forced the flames to escape and chased after him.
But when he had just split the sea of fire and jumped into the flames, a long sword pierced from his right rib.
As the Old Knight said, Manheld possesses the highest skill among all his students.
In such an unfavorable situation, he was still able to fight back.
With a light lick of the sword, Sel'ot immediately retreated. This was the lesson he taught to his junior.
With a smug mood, Sel's out of the sea of fire.
To his surprise, outside the sea of fire, he was not surrounded by the escort of the Legal Affairs Bureau as he imagined.
The guards were too busy to take care of themselves, and cried one after another. Sel's sword was spreading, and turned into a bloody light and joined the killing battlefield.
In the sea of fire, Manheard struggled to retreat to the teacher, and he touched the teacher's pulse.
What made him feel great sadness and deep helpless was that the teacher was dead, and even the most wise clergy could not summon his will back to this world.
The old man had only one scar on his body, a fatal scar that pierced people from behind and penetrated his heart.
Seeing this wound, Manheard immediately understood that this killing game was originally directed at them. He used Selle to restrain the teacher's attention and gave the teacher a fatal blow from behind.
Everything was carefully arranged, the secret strongholds of the arrested princes, and all of them were traps designed by some clever conspirator behind it.
Moreover, it was not only the elites of the princes who entered the capital, but at least one person who was good at hiding in the darkness and hunting other people's lives was not discovered.
Full of sadness and helplessness, Manheld picked up the teacher's body and the white light enveloped the two of them tightly.
