Shadow of the Beautiful World

buzz buzz

Driven by the high-speed rotating propellers, a black helicopter carrying missile pods hovered in the cold sky of the burning Assassin city of Nandarbat.

Piloting the helicopter were two samurai dressed in black and armed with weapons. They were one of the soldiers who rushed into the frantic destruction of Nandarbat.

But compared to their companions who are working hard in this city, the work of these two warriors is much easier.

Target locked.

Missile launch procedure started.

Countdown 5 seconds.

5, 4, 3, 2, 1!

With the icy countdown sound returning to zero, the samurai driving the helicopter pressed the launch button without hesitation. For a moment, the metal bullet nests hanging on both sides of the helicopter were like a Gatling heavy machine gun being activated. The white smoke of the missile when it was fired almost instantly made the sky around the helicopter extremely hot. .

And the dozens of missiles that were fired were all shot at the same location, which was the top of the nine-story pavilion built by the mountain.

That was the battlefield where Deathstroke was fighting Lars Al Ghul!

These lunatics, they don't seem to care whether their leader can survive such a devastating attack! In other words, they are not worried at all that such an indiscriminate attack will hurt the death knell on their side.

A few seconds later, looking at the buildings on the snow-capped mountains that were completely engulfed by the raging flames in the explosion of missiles, the black-clothed warrior driving the helicopter nodded. Order.

Destroy the task and complete the team!

The moment the order was issued, the armed helicopter, which had emptied its missiles, turned its direction flexibly in the air, preparing to leave.

Under the sunshine above the snow-capped mountains, on the left arm of the black-clothed samurai driving the gunship, a black octopus skull Hydra logo is reflected on the windshield of the helicopter, which seems to represent their identity.

Behind the departing helicopter, in the darkness under the light world, the ancient city of Nandarbat, which represented the inheritance of a certain great will, has ushered in its own end in flames.

Those ancient buildings were stained with blood in the hail of bullets, which seemed to represent the League of Assassins, this ancient organization, would also be completely destroyed today.

However

At the moment when the helicopter gunship turned its direction completely, a faint neighing of a bird suddenly reached the ears of the two warriors who had completed the mission.

The two of them looked at each other, and looked towards the surrounding sky, which was empty except for them.

Woohoo

There was another nasty hiss, this time clearer and closer to them.

The two warriors were a little nervous, but the air around them was still empty.

boom

Something slammed into the windshield of the armed helicopter, like an invisible fist slamming in front of their eyes. The force was so great that the windshields in front of the two warriors appeared Cracks like spider webs.

Woohoo

Amidst the ugly hissing, 300 meters in front of the armed helicopter hovering in the air, the spirit raven Victor, who cannot be seen by ordinary people, folded its wings at this moment, flying fast like an arrow leaving the string. He slammed into the closed armed helicopter in front of him again.

The magic power from Merlin was filling its body, and the circulating magic power filled with hatred and killing intent filled Vitek's impact with a destructive aura.

It is a spiritual body, and this kind of physical impact will not make it feel pain.

As for why it does this

It's very simple, its owner, Merlin, needs the two Hydra warriors who think they can escape punishment

die!

dang lang

Amidst the crisp sound of glass shattering and thousands of shattered glass shards flying horizontally, the sharp beak of Victor the Raven, like an arrow, pierced the left arm of the Hydra wizard who was piloting the plane. In the eyes, it was like the most terrifying punishment, and in the next second, it pierced through the back of the soldier's head, and the stench of blood and white brains made the entire cockpit look like hell on earth at this moment.

With the sudden death of the pilot, the helicopter lost control almost immediately. Amidst the terrified screams of another warrior, the plane spun and fell from the sky to the ground.

The spirit raven Vitek spread its wings, and it was hovering in the air. In the dark red bird eyes, there was a touch of indifference, just like Merlin's eyes when he was the coldest.

boom

The helicopter that crashed into the ground turned into a burning fireball in the valley of the snow mountain.

And this is just the beginning.

The spirit raven circled nimbly in the air. It let out an unpleasant neigh, and like a hawk looking for food, it swooped down on Nandarbat below.

there are many hydra

Merlin didn't care why these Hydras appeared here and why they attacked the Assassin's League, but this did not prevent him from manipulating Victor to vent his pent-up anger in this chaotic battle.

The spirits of Richard and Mary are still watching him, waiting for his justice.

Therefore, today, every Hydra in Nandarbat

All die!

—

What are you doing?

Thalia, who was searching for Lars al-Ghul in the burning attic, turned her head and saw Merlin's outstretched left hand, which was maintaining a strange posture, a faint dark red light , is shining in his hand, as if the wizard is manipulating a magic.

nothing.

While manipulating Victor to hunt down those Hydra warriors in the alleys of Nandalbat, Merlin replied casually with a blank expression:

Just a search spell, I'm helping you find your father.

I forgot you were a wizard.

Thalia looked at the scattered corpses on the ground of the burning building. She held her weapon tightly and asked in a low voice:

Did you find anything?

have!

Merlin looked at the top of his head and said:

There are still people fighting up there, it's very intense, so you should be careful!

Before Merlin could finish his sentence, accompanied by the crisp sound of burning flames and the vibration of the building collapsing, several towers above their heads collapsed with continuous roars.

The buildings in South Darbat are all made of stone and wood, and the main body is easily destroyed by the bombardment of rockets. In fact, this nine-storey pavilion can persist until now in the flames and explosions. its stability.

According to Thalia, this building was built 400 years ago, and it is considered a proper antiquity.

And now, this ancient relic has fallen into the doomsday of destruction along with the city built by Lars Al Ghul himself.

While the earth was shaking and the mountains were shaking, the black mist of Merlin's incarnation swept Thalia out of the collapsed building through the rain of fire from the sky. It's more like being poured into gasoline, and the beating and burning are even crazier.

Just ten seconds later, the majestic building built against the mountain turned into a pile of ruins in flames.

And in the ruins, there were still two people alive.

Father!

Thalia, who was sent to a high wall by Merlin, saw a figure in a panic in the flames. Her fists were clenched tightly at this moment, but she didn't rush out immediately. On the contrary, the woman narrowed her eyes, as if she was thinking something.

He was injured, very badly.

Merlin's spiritual vision allowed him to clearly see the scene in the distant flames. The old man whose whole body was on fire, the majestic demon leader Lars Al Ghul, was struggling to roll , to avoid the pursuit of fierce warriors holding double knives.

Contrary to his embarrassment, the warrior with two knives walked in the flames, not afraid of the heat of the flames at all.

He seemed to have some kind of special power, immune to the burns caused by the flames.

No wonder those hydra can pour firepower towards this building without any scruples. This warrior would not be injured by explosions and flames at all, but his opponent, the mighty Lars Al Ghul, was not immune to the damage brought by these weapons.

Then help him, Merlin.

Thalia turned around and took Merlin's hand, she said in a voice so calm that it was almost indifferent:

My father can't die now. Once he falls here, the entire Assassin Alliance will fall apart in an instant, and the cooperation we have already negotiated will not be possible.

I haven't agreed to cooperate with you yet, Thalia.

Merlin took out two black gloves from his pocket and said to Thalia:

Besides, your father is in danger. As his daughter, you seem to be a little too calm.

I was taught by my father at a very young age to think calmly and weigh the gains and losses at any time.

Thalia says:

He would rather see me the way I am than being a reckless and stupid woman. But now is not the time to say that. I need you to save my father.

Merlin waved his hand, and the Cybertron weapon module in his hand quickly transformed into a blue-gray one-handed sword, but he didn't answer, nor did he act.

Like waiting for something.

Talia glanced at Merlin, she understood what Merlin meant, she shook her head, and whispered:

Okay, the red pot in the treasury of Nandarbat is yours now.

So much the better.

Merlin stretched out his hand and tapped the sapphire pendant on his chest, and the half-face respirator left by Carol quickly covered his face. He took a short cloak from his pocket and covered his head.

I'll block that samurai, you go and save your father.

After making a good disguise and exhorting Talia, Merlin disappeared beside Talia in a flash.

On the other side, the battle between Deathstroke and Lars Al Ghul has also come to an end.

swish

With a flick of the black blade in Deathstroke's hand, the old assassin who was like a mad tiger was forced back.

Compared with the old assassin's knife wounds, burns and shock injuries suffered in the explosion, Deathstroke seems to have the upper hand in this master-apprentice duel.

There were also many wounds on his black and red combat uniform, but they only tore the combat uniform, but did not harm his body. What was exposed in the cracks of the clothes was Deathstroke's strong and tough skin , Under the cold sunlight of the snow-capped mountains, the skin of the death knell was beating with a little light, as if there was a layer of fine scales on the skin that were invisible to the naked eye.

Ah, you are really old, my respected teacher.

The Death Knell guy, while fighting the old assassin to the death, also took the time to spout trash talk.

Beneath a small piece of his visor, which had been burned away, his eyes shone with a gleam of undisguised sarcasm.

20 years ago, not 10 years ago, even 10 years ago, you could easily retreat without injury in the face of an attack like today. But now, old man, what's wrong with you? You were killed by your new baby Batman Completely broke the spine, right? Or, even your weird water can't heal your old age?

Facing Death Knell's trash talk offensive, the old assassin gasped for breath while holding a knife in both hands, staring at his opponent vigilantly, trying to find Death Knell's weakness.

But that's what it should be.

Death Bell reached out and grabbed the broken sleeve of his left hand, twitched it lightly, and threw the broken clothes on the ground. He moved his unscarred arm and said to the old assassin in front of him:

You have lived 700 years, you have lived long enough, teacher, it is time to hand over the power in your hands to young people.

Don't think about it!

The old assassin gritted his teeth and said:

Slade, you have become a complete fanatic! You have lost your awe of power, and you have forgotten what I have been trying to teach you. Your faith has been broken.

Belief?

The death knell snorted:

You talk about faith with me? After I have been your cow and horse for more than ten years, when you kicked me out of the house and left me to fend for myself, did you ever have these two words in your heart? The League of Assassins is getting more and more Declining, no longer the glory of the past, but you don't care about it, trying to find the perfect heir, and passing the responsibility to others, have you ever had faith in your heart?

You are the most unbelieving person in this organization!

you are wrong!

The old assassin took a deep breath, and said softly:

The mission and responsibility of the League of Assassins is beyond your imagination. What I pursue is never something illusory. Do you want to know why I gave up on you? Slade.

hehe.

The old assassin clenched the handle of the knife in his hand, and he said with a hint of sarcasm:

Actually, my disciple, it was never me who gave up on you, but a higher level of power. She told me that you are just an ordinary person, and you cannot bear the heavy responsibility of the Assassin's League.

Nonsense! We're just killers!

Killer, you don't need any faith!

Death Knell, who had been talking trash, seemed to be irritated by this reason. He waved his black blade, roaring, and strode forward.

The old assassin also raised his weapon at this moment, and went forward without fear.

boom

While the sharp blades were clinking, the long sword in Lars Al Ghul's hand broke, and a flaw appeared in the fatal blow aimed at Death Knell's heart, and the other knife of Death Knell was also exposed through this flaw. In an instant, the neck of the old assassin was chopped off.

In the next moment, the head of the demon will die in Huangquan.

At the same moment, Merlin quietly appeared from the darkness, and put his left hand on the heart of the death knell. Accompanied by the crisp sound of metal collisions, the deadly Hidden Blade also appeared at this moment, like a poisonous snake looking for food. Same, quietly popped up.
