Chapter 381 370 Chapter Nine · "...Please don't make the same mistake again"

……

"—Lackon! Where are you taking Miss Lin Yin!"

Seeing that Nuo Er was going to drag Lin Yin away, Sheld immediately followed a few steps.

"The sea monster is attacking the city. I have to take her to the underground treasure house, the safest place in Playa." Noel explained a little irritably.

Seeing Sherud standing directly in front of him, Noel pulled out the dagger at his waist: "Get out of the way."

"Shh!"

"Sorry." Sherud drew out his knight sword without giving in.

Holding the golden knight sword, he stood firmly in front of Nuo Er, preventing him from dragging Lin Yin away: "In this matter, Miss Lin Yin's wishes must be respected."

Noel's eyelids twitched when he saw that Sherwood refused to enter, and he immediately turned his head to look at Lin Yin:

"Lin Yin, hurry up, there is no time to delay here!"

Lin Yin's expression was still a little dazed, she still didn't understand how dangerous the "sea monster attacking the city" was.

But at this moment, she heard a "ding dong" from the group chat.

……

[Su Ming'an: Noel, are you on the city wall? 】

【Noel: I am...】

……

At the moment when he saw the news, Lin Yin stepped back immediately, and a milky white protective cover quickly appeared on his body.

"You are not Noel! Who are you!" She shouted loudly, and had already begun to quickly contact her teammates.

The brilliance in her hands bloomed, and the face of the person in front of her fell off.

He showed a dignified and beautiful face.

...That was Princess Tulip who was supposed to be locked up.

At this time, her beautiful and ambitious eyes were no longer the original color.

...becoming a pair of deep red eyes that seemed to be filled with blood.

A transparent spirit body floated behind her, and sharp, pale fangs gradually appeared at the corners of her mouth.

"Stand back—!"

Originally following Lin Yin, Sevia, who was in charge of secret protection, immediately appeared and protected Lin Yin behind him.

He wasn't worried that the princess would run out. Hei Pike, who was next to the princess, had already been poisoned by them.

But... the princess in front of her is obviously not right.

This golden rose, which was originally extremely dignified and beautiful, showed its extremely ugly fangs in front of them.

Her nails gradually grew, becoming sharper and longer...becoming like the claws of a sea monster, able to easily cut through a person's throat.

On the side of her ears, the original ears disappeared, replaced by a pair of transparent, thin, cicada-like fins.

Her slender body began to grow taller and longer, and the delicate dress in palace dress was suddenly stretched, revealing a body covered with light blue scales and with a fishtail.

The lines on her body were extremely sharp, and pale bone spurs grew from her forehead, limbs, and fish tail. The ends were extremely sharp and glowed with a faint blue light, which was obviously poisonous.

The blond hair fluttered slightly behind her, and all the anger, grievance, and despair in her eyes had disappeared, and turned into a pair of stagnant, slender eyes without fluctuation.

A transparent spirit body floated behind her, as if a transparent, blood-red siren embraced her body from behind, kissed her ear gently, the moment she opened her eyes, her His eyes became cold and cold, as if he was looking at a few dead people.

in the most desperate moments,
Princess Tulip, whose soul has been completely corrupted, is reluctant to bear the power in her hands.

She is unwilling to hand over her throne to Su Rin, and she is unwilling to be just a mascot with the soul of the sea monster, and she is unwilling to be imprisoned in the palace without status, acting as a tool to suppress the surrounding sea monsters .

But she couldn't cut off the Dongxue pendant around her neck, and the threat of death surrounded her all the time.

The passage of time obliterated her original intention, and the temptation of eternal life weakened her will like a devil.

In the end, she chose to completely bury her past, young, innocent, passionate self,
...and chose to embrace the soul of the siren.

Unlike the previous choice, she did not use the sea monster's soul to help her occupy the next "petri dish".

Instead, he chose to use himself as a "petri dish" and dedicate it to the sea monster, allowing the soul of the sea monster to dominate in exchange for the power to get out of the predicament.

At that moment, she suddenly realized.

It turned out that when she ventured out to sea, the sea monster she met was astonishingly beautiful as a human being, and she was the king of the sea monsters.

And what she took away at the beginning was only a part of the sea monster's soul, which belonged to the sea monster, the evil side of the soul.

And the stronger and more complete side of the soul,
...she never got it.

The complete soul had originally fallen into the hands of the guy she was most jealous of, the despicable person who chose to rebel despite being favored by the gods, but who abandoned the favor of the gods.

She lost her original intention under the biased malice in the sea monster's soul, and used the most malicious means to obtain "eternal life", but he was able to play in Praia unscrupulously, enjoying the care of a complete soul and complete emotions, and has been living a good life , and even easily took her throne.

——Why should he?
——Su Rin, why?
Her eyes were bloodshot.

Intense energy waves rippling all over her body, and the gigantic spirit body has completely blocked the way to leave.

"Princess."

Seeing this scene, the one who reacted the most was not Lin Yin who heard the system voice of "The 3500 Siren King boss battle starts", but Sherwood who suddenly softened and knelt down on his knees.

His bright green eyes were filled with surging sadness at this moment.

"Let's go—!"

As soon as Sevia grabbed Lin Yin, he was about to leave from the side.

"I can't go." The princess with blood red eyes said lightly.

She raised her hand, and a barrier of sea blue rose around her, completely enveloping the room. Even if Sevia blasted lightning on it, it would have no effect at all.

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Sevia gritted his teeth and stood in front of Lin Yin.

"Princess." He said, "Don't let Praia be destroyed in your hands."

The princess dropped her gaze.

"Praia is built on the sacrifices of generations, including your fathers." Sevia said: "If you still have a little bit of responsibility and self-esteem as a royal family, don't dedicate your life to the sea. Monster! Do you want to destroy this land?"

Listening to Sevia's accusation, the princess actually laughed.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

She laughed, extremely relaxed, and without manners, as if she had discarded all the etiquette and rules she had cultivated in this burst of laughter.

"—You said, I want to destroy this land? I don't have the responsibility and self-esteem of a royal family?"

She smiled and laughed, tears came out of her eyes.

Those were blood red tears.

Like blood, bloody tears slid down her scaly cheeks.

"On the contrary!" She suddenly said coldly: "——It is precisely because I love this land!"

"I love this land, I love all the people on this land, it is because of this... that I have imprisoned myself with 'eternal life' till now.

"—and precisely because I have the self-esteem of being a royal, I can't let Su Rin, a perverted villain... subvert my kingdom of Praia!

"Subordinate of a despicable ruler, how can you understand my deeds?
"My king's land does not need your stepping in, and my hometown does not need your salvation! You fellow who surrendered to outsiders, how can you see the future of Praia? You advocate the peaceful coexistence of humans and soul races Idiots—and how to understand the prosperity of Praia today?

"Accuse me, question me—it's ridiculous, ask yourself, what have you done for this land? I use my own power to fight for my own land, so that the future of Praia can be in my hands It has become extremely bright——why do you accuse me of righteousness?
"I am alive, but have I ever experienced the freedom that belongs to eternal life?
"I rule this land, but have I ever enjoyed the vanity of aristocrats?
"Praia is built on the sacrifices of generations, including my fathers—but those generations you speak of, they—all of me!"

She roared almost crazily, and the sea monster soul behind her was emitting a blood-red, strange light.

Servia paled.

The huge aura of the sea monster pressed up like a mountain, and he stepped back half a step to protect Lin Yin behind him.

At this moment, the princess raised her right hand.

On her hand, pale bone spurs climbed up her arm like a python, gradually alienating it into a sharp blade like a sword.

She had already learned balance and sacrifice.

The young Jin Qiangwei, who would cry with her head in her arms at the helpless sacrifice plan, and cry in the alley, saying "I'm sorry" in embarrassment, has long since died in these long years of more than 60 years.

She personally killed the too young, ignorant and innocent self.

The situation in Praia is not rich, it does not allow anyone to be free, it does not accept naive ideas, romance and a free humanity are not allowed here.

All battles are necessary battles, once one of them is avoided, it will only be filled with more sacrifices.

And now,
...She wants to launch a battle to expel the "invaders" and kill the villain who peeped at the throne.

She wants to return Praia's dominance to her.

Only she can bring her beloved residents the future they are looking forward to.

...a future in which there will be no more "sacrifice" from now on.

"Shh!"

She raised her right hand high and waved vigorously.

The crescent-like white light passed through her right arm and rushed towards Sevia and Lin Yin who were leaning against the barrier.

The lightning flashed in Sevia's hand, and he tried to block the blow.

However, the difference in combat power between him and the Sea Demon King is 500 points. Even with Lin Yin's assistance, the situation of this battle cannot be changed.

Blood came out through the body.

Covering the wound, Sevia tried his best to protect Lin Yin who was launching the teleportation scroll.

At this moment, the princess's left paw, glowing with faint poisonous light, was already close to his body.

"Oh!"

A pair of hands firmly grasped the princess's outstretched bone claws.

The sharp bone claws pierced his hands, and blood slowly flowed down the armor.

A trace of clarity suddenly appeared in the princess's eyes that gradually became dark and indifferent.

"Shelud...?" She called softly, looking at the knight kneeling on the ground.

He straightened his upper body and clasped hers tightly with both hands.

Even while blocking her attack, his legs were still kneeling towards her.

He swore to her.

He is a royal knight who swore allegiance to her.

"Princess." Sherud clasped her bone claws with both hands, and said pleadingly.

"...Please don't make the same mistake again and again."

His palm was pierced by sharp bone spurs, and blood flowed like a stream.The skin of the palm had begun to turn black, and the poison of the sea monster had begun to seep into his body.

A bright golden light gradually glowed on his body, which was the unique divine power of the Knight of Light, blessed by the church.

...This is the energy that is most capable of restraining the Kraken.

As a "brave", he was able to resist the Kraken's attack to a certain extent.

And in this moment,
The golden light on his body seemed to be burning on its own, following his arm, and began to climb onto the princess's arm, dancing like a golden flame on her bone claws, as if it wanted to burn the spirit body of the sea monster on her body generally.

"...Please." He begged softly.

The princess noticed this extremely strong golden flame, and her expression changed.

In the next instant, her figure suddenly disappeared in place.

Sevia and Lin Yin, who were still in shock, came over.

"Is she gone?" Sevia asked.

"It should have recovered after returning to the sea monster." Sherwood smiled reluctantly.

"That should be the Siren King." Lin Yin glanced at the place where the princess disappeared: "According to the information in the Great Library. As long as the Siren King is surrounded by sea monsters offering sacrifices to her, she will not die—unless we Can break into the sea monster's territory outside the barrier and kill her directly..."

She thought for a moment: "...Shelude, the light energy in your body is very useful, it can restrain the sea monster very well, come with us to the city wall."

As she spoke, she noticed that the knight on the ground was only staring at his own bloody hand.

"I'll help you."

She handed him the notebook and pen on the ground, and then wrapped his palm with cloth strips.

"...Thank you, Miss Lin Yin." Sherwood picked up the knight sword in his hand.

He closed his eyes slightly, then quickly opened them.

"Defending Praia is a duty, and I will climb the city wall." He said to Lin Yin.

……

On the island's city walls, the fierce battle continued.

In order to protect the people who are still outside the city wall and rushing into the city wall, the soul hunters chose to attack actively to attract the attention of the sea monster to protect their relatives who are still fleeing.

Even though they are not on the same order of magnitude as the sea monsters that rushed over.

The cracks in the enchantment had been torn open more and more, and gradually became small holes. The number of sea monsters rushing in increased exponentially, and soon filled the mountains and plains.

"—Listen well, if you can delay for a second, it is a second! Don't close the barrier until the last moment!"

On the city wall, Soulhunter Cliff commanded, and in his hand was a small white crystal.

When the white crystal is shattered, the barrier will rise, and those who are still outside will have no chance to rush into the city.

His eyes moved quickly, judging the running speed of the residents below, judging the timing of raising the barrier, and then, very abruptly, he saw a figure going against the flow of people.

In the wind and snow, her hair was like a ball of flying fire, rushing overseas like against the icy cold wave.
