The Shadow of the Crown of Snow [Western Fantasy]

Hecate, who is considered fearless by many people, actually has many things to be afraid of.She and Selene are the same kind of people in their bones, born to be prone to worries about gains and losses, so naturally, they will be afraid of many things.

Hecate was afraid of walking alone on the bustling streets, afraid of opponents she could not even judge the strength of, afraid of green eyes.Just like it is difficult for a baby animal to get rid of the habits developed since childhood, Hecate has not yet shaken off the shadow left by Hussein on her.

Before creating a dangerous thing, anyone will give himself a way to control it. Hussein chose to use magic to control Hecate at that time, because he did not think that Hecate would one day have the same perfect emotions as ordinary humans.

It is easy to remove the spell from a person, but nothing is more difficult to get her to overcome her fears from within.

"Hecate, I really don't know how you can challenge me so confidently." The crack in the cocoon became bigger, but it was still impossible to see what was going on inside, only Hussein's voice came from it, " Is your massacre more just than mine? How does it feel to kill your former comrade-in-arms with your own hands?"

Hussein was really naive in wanting to disturb Hecate's emotions with this clumsy provocation.Unmoved, Hecate pulled out the crescent blade and hung it on his side: "Did you turn yourself into a caterpillar?"

Hussain actually laughed out loud: "You can say that, because when I come out of this cocoon, I will change from a humble human being to a god, just like a caterpillar into a butterfly."

A hand ax spun and flew towards the throne. The thrower was powerful enough, but the blade of the ax hit the cocoon where Hussain was hiding, like a stone hitting cotton, and was bounced back lightly.

"Hussein, your people are already repenting for your crimes." Standing in front of the main hall, Raymond said loudly, "I really want to see how miserable you would be without them providing you with the power of faith What is it like?"

"It's too much to underestimate me." The voice in the cocoon became deeper and deeper, "Anyway, there are a group of people in the Nagrand Empire who provide me with the power of faith day and night, as long as their If I exist, sooner or later I'll get everyone to do it."

This is the truth.What Hussein can't do now, he can do after enough time. The more the delay, the more the situation will get out of control. The price must have been heavy.

Selene realized that those Nagrand soldiers did not rush to surrender because they were afraid of the Legion of Light.

When Hussain was their monarch, they were loyal to the only monarch, but after Hussain told them that he was a god, they could not abandon the God of Light.The soldiers of Nagrand saw the banner of the God of Light and the Holy Maiden of Light representing the will of the God of Light. They were not surrendering to the Legion of Light, but to the God of Light represented by the Legion of Light.

The people of the Nagrand Empire have revered the great Holy Church of Wilton for generations, and thanked Wilton for telling them about the existence of the God of Light, leading them into the Religion of Light, and embarking on a path full of brilliance.

Let such a group of people choose whether to be loyal to the God of Light or Hussein, I am afraid that very few people will choose the latter.

From a human perspective, Hussein’s authority as a monarch did not defeat the status of the God of Light in the hearts of Nagrand even after he became a god; from the perspective of a god, Hussein tried to directly challenge the status of the God of Light behavior, a total failure.

The God of Light did not even interfere in the human world, and the instructions to the Holy Maiden of Light were only to "destroy Hussein". He might worry that Hussein's power would endanger the stability of the world if he became too powerful, but it was impossible to worry about Hussein. Sayin may shake the Light God Sect.

Not to mention the Holy Church of Wilton, even in the Nagrand Empire, Hussein could not shake the Sect of Light.

However, his inability to shake is only temporary, otherwise the God of Light would not have specially asked Phoebe to "eliminate Hussein". Once a god grows stronger, no one can stop him.In the past 1000 years in the Hindley Continent, no god was successfully born and truly ascended to the Kingdom of God.Since the God of Light also knows that his position cannot be shaken, he doesn't mind sharing this continent with other gods in this era, but if that god shows hostility to the God of Light, that's another matter.

The God of Light did not embarrass Hecate because Hecate had no tendency to kill him and replace him.In fact, if the God of Light didn't instruct Phoebe to find Hecate, then I'm afraid he would have to come to the world to deal with Hussein himself.The saints of light have a high status in the light gods. Strictly speaking, they no longer belong to the human world, but belong to the kingdom of gods. They are servants in the kingdom of gods who convey the wishes of the god of light, and the magic of "servants" cannot harm her A god of the same status as gods.

On the contrary, even if they are not their own servants, gods are qualified to punish them from the level of belief.

That's why Phoebe didn't appear here, fighting against Hussein with Selene and the others, it was too dangerous for her, if she wasn't bound by the identity of the Holy Maiden of Light, a god couldn't directly punish her from the level of faith Ordinary believers, with Phoebe's character, will follow whatever they say.

"Teacher." Selene knew that no matter what she said, Raymond would not go back at this time. "How is the situation outside?"

"All the puppet soldiers have been dealt with. Many people were seriously injured. Several priests from the Legion of Holy Light treated them. Now they are going to find Phoebe and Joshua who are waiting outside the city. Nothing will happen. "

Hearing the name Joshua, Cocoon seemed to shake slightly.

"Thank you for reminding me. After finishing you, I will go to deal with my younger brother who betrayed the country and family."

The crack on the cocoon finally split the whole black cocoon in two, and Hussain revealed his current face.

He still looks like a human in general—it can only be said that he is basically the same, his complexion is as strange as the unicorn he used to guard the castle, and his body is much taller than before. His hands, which could no longer be seen to be human hands, were dry and blackened, and turned into sharp claws.

"The lackey of the God of Light has become a coward, and the old man from the North has come out to be a hero instead." Hussein glanced at Raymond, "You didn't starve to death in the dungeon."

"Yes, and I escaped right under your noses." Raymond's hand ax was thrown out by him just now, and he drew out the spare long sword at his waist. "It must have disappointed you?"

Hussain frowned slightly and looked at Raymond.Raymond was ready to attack, and he was sure that if Hussein dared to get close to him, he could inflict serious damage on him.

What no one expected was that before Raymond realized Hussein was approaching, he was already standing in front of Raymond.

The pitch-black claw pierced through the armor and pierced Raymond's heart.

The Northlander who dedicated his life to the Nord Kingdom finally gave his life.

"teacher!"

Relying on the dignity of the northern warriors and the will to prevent Hussein from continuing to pounce on Selene, Raymond swung his sword towards Hussein's neck with the last of his strength.Hussain hadn't completely got rid of the weakness of the human body, he had to stagger back to the throne, put his hands on the remains of the black cocoon, and the neck that was almost cut off by Raymond began to slowly recover.

"His Royal Highness Hecate... instead of making my death meaningless, let me help you defeat our enemies..." Raymond's voice became weaker and weaker, but he never relaxed, holding Hecate tightly. Carter's wrist, "Please accept..."

soul.Not only the soul of man, but also the soul of a hero.

Life was rapidly draining from the wound on Raymond's chest, and as he allowed his soul to be attracted by Hecate's kingdom of God, the brilliance in his eyes gradually dimmed.

Both Selene and Hecate felt that this was a very long time. In fact, it was too short a moment. Selene had no time to say a word, and Hecate had no time to react. The last piece of her Kingdom of God The missing pieces, Raymond has spent his life filling in.

When Hussein turned around after repairing the huge wound on his neck, Hecate heard the ancestors in his mind saying goodbye to her.

"Goodbye. Come on."

The soul of Raymond, the souls of the ancestors, and the soul of Hecate constituted a brand new god.

"Selene." Hecate tightened his grip on the knife, turned his head and stared at Selene, "Hurry up, this is not a battle you can participate in."

Unlike Hussein's changes after becoming a god, Hecate's body did not undergo any changes, and Selene could only feel the power of faith in her body surging crazily.

"Go!" Hecate urged. "I don't promise anything."

Of course, Selene would not be so arrogant that she thought she could interfere in the battle between the gods. All she could do now was to run to a safe place as much as possible, so that Hecate could devote himself to the battle without worrying about her safety.

Maybe there's one more thing she can do.Back at the army station, Selene frantically dug out the holy book she wrote for Hecate from the cabinet.

The holy book was cut open by Selene along the spine of the book, and each page was sent to a soldier. First, the Guards Corps, and then the Talisians of the Central Corps also took the initiative to ask for it from Selene, according to Selene's instructions Muttering the words on the paper, he prayed for Hecate who was fighting Hussain.The soldiers of the Holy Light Legion could not accept the pagan scriptures, but they silently drew the pentagram and also prayed that Hecate would win.

The white power of faith belonging to the patron saint of Nord is pouring into the frost-covered city with the afterglow of the setting sun.
