From Prisoner to Si Chen..

Chapter 537 Mad Dog
Snapped!
Avril shook off Gillan's hand that was pinching her face, and anger flashed across her face.

She raised her head, straightened her crooked octagonal beret, and said coldly:
"Sir, you really have wild ideas. The Black and White Gate has been closed for ten years in February. It is an exception to open it for you alone. You actually want to go through more gates... Let's not talk about the fact that there is no point in doing this. Ascension is unique. You can only choose one path. And we can't agree to this condition."

"Also, I hate it when people touch my head!"

"Heh." Jillan chuckled, not caring about her angry look. "Why, Miss Avril, are you worried about not growing taller?"

I touched my head and it didn't grow taller...

Avril felt angry and embarrassed when she heard this kind of lies to deceive children.

She wanted to take action, but she knew very well that doing so would only bring humiliation upon herself.

"Since you don't agree, there's no need to continue the conversation."

Jilan leaned down slightly and put her face close to Avril. The petite and cute girl squinted her eyes and stared at the purple-eyed young man in front of her.

The two were only ten centimeters apart.

"My dream is to explore the ultimate truth of mystery, that is, the law. And every ascension gate is the embodiment of the law in the astral world. Just a 'black and white gate' cannot arouse my interest..."

"Ms. Avril, my actions against the Federation will not stop until my mission as the Chairman of the Empire is completed, that is, the Owena Federation is completely disintegrated."

"Heh." Jilan gave a dangerous smile, looked directly at the girl who was so close to him, and whispered:
"Miss Avril, you are brave enough to come to me to negotiate. I have killed so many apostles, so I don't mind killing you one more. Next time, I won't be so easy to talk to... I suggest you think it over before coming to me again."

After saying that, Gillan reached out and pinched Avril's face again, then chuckled a few times and walked into the apartment with his white cane.

Avril was left standing there in a daze.

The reason why she did not resist and let Jilan pinch her face was because at that moment, she felt a terrifying murderous intent locking onto her.

If she dared to act rashly, the other party would surely strike with lightning speed and kill her on the spot.

This strong intuition from the spiritual world forced Avril's body to stiffen.

Now that she came to her senses, she felt ashamed, angry and aggrieved. She was an April Apostle, and she came to the mortal world, but she was humiliated by a mere mortal.

"You damned fellow..."

Avril murmured through gritted teeth.

Suddenly a gust of evening breeze blew by.

The girl disappeared on the spot.

...

...

Another month has passed.

Time has entered September, the month symbolizing "Ms. Snow".

During the period after the breakdown of the talks with "The Girl from the Painted World" Avril, Gillan quietly came to the Federation several times.

He successively liquidated four federal noble families that did not heed warnings, and attacked the Golden Force garrison, several military armories and arsenals. Each time he took action, there was no warning and he acted immediately.

No matter how the high-end military forces of the Federation defended themselves, it was ultimately useless. Not only did Gilan succeed, he also left calmly.

I didn't even catch the corner of his clothes.

This caused huge losses to the Federation and uncontrollable panic, which even affected the front lines.

In the eyes of Leonidas and many apostles, the "Red Sage" Gilan Ilos is like a mad dog that comes and goes without a trace.

They keep a close eye on the important facilities and key combat capabilities of the Federation, coming over from time to time to take a bite and then running away after taking the bite.

It’s so annoying and so hard to guard against.

And each time it bit quickly and fiercely, causing the Federation to bleed profusely.

The federal top brass had no place to vent their pent-up anger, and their sense of helplessness grew stronger.

Someday in mid-September.

In the heart of Jacobin, the federal capital, dark clouds suddenly gathered over an ordinary military base without any warning.

The thunderstorm formed in just half a minute, in the form of a huge vortex that covered the sky and then brought heavy rain.

Lightning and thunder, wind and rain.

The heavy and sharp "raindrops" destroyed the reinforced concrete structures of the military district almost immediately, like plastic toys being swept by a sandblaster at maximum power, which disintegrated in an instant, and a thick layer of the solid foundation was blown off.

The loud rumbling sound continued for a long time.

The entire military zone was shrouded in a blurry rain curtain and was shaking continuously.

Soon, dozens or even hundreds of strange soldiers wearing military uniforms and full-coverage metal visors with only their eyes exposed, fled out of the military zone in well-trained formations and at an extremely fast speed.

The physiques of this group of people were extremely strong. They managed to withstand the sharp rain curtain and kept walking.

"Finally you're willing to show up, huh."

A soft laugh sounded quietly.

"Your 'Elephant Guards' are hiding very secretly. If my perception had not reached the limit of the mortal world, I would have found it difficult to find the exact location."

Jilan hid in the void, looking down coldly at the masked army fleeing in the heavy rain.

This group of "Elephant Armor Guard" members are all ascenders. The weakest one is only at the senior level 5, mainly limited by his weak body.

After all, the Federation does not know how to refine the "Philosopher's Stone" and can only use high-purity gold as the core of their bodies. Therefore, it is inherently insufficient and unable to reach the threshold of the mortal world.

But even so, the Guard Corps is also the most important trump card of the Federation... because the essence of the "final explosion" is to exchange the self-sacrifice of the top members of the Guard Corps for a huge explosive power.

"Thunder!"

Jilan looked down coldly and gave orders indifferently.

Boom!

Suddenly, thunder was heard in the sky above the military base, and then a silver bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket struck down.

A flash of silver light instantly hit a masked soldier who was fleeing.

The man didn't say a word, and was instantly disintegrated into nothingness in the terrifying lightning. The arcs and sparks that escaped and splashed into the rain also affected several people around him, disintegrating them as well.

Seeing this, the other armored soldiers fled even faster. They were not afraid of death, but they knew clearly that they had no chance of winning against the "Red Sage" and were powerless to resist.

The "Elephant Guard Regiment" had already rehearsed this, and their commander only gave them one order, which was to escape!
Try your best to preserve the strength of the guard regiment and avoid meaningless sacrifices!
"As expected of the Ascendants of the Shell Spiral, each of them runs really fast. However, no matter how fast they run, can they be faster than lightning?"

Gillan grinned, slightly sadistically.

"Thunder!"

He issued another order to the domain, and another silver lightning fell.

Boom! !
Snapped! !

This lightning bolt accurately hit a masked soldier, and several people around him were evaporated on the spot.

Swah——

At this moment, a figure in military uniform suddenly appeared in the rain.

He stood straight, with a metal visor that looked like an inverted iron barrel, with only a hole for his right eye. In his hand he held a black T-shaped cane, and his short cape fluttered in the wind.

"Gilan Iros..."

Sabre Master Edwin spoke in a cold tone as he watched his own guards being massacred.

The "Elephant Guards" is the trump card, with a limited number of members, and if one dies, one less. If the loss is serious, the deterrence to the empire will be greatly reduced.

He raised his head, revealing a single bloodshot eye. He swung his cane and pulled out a long, cold, black sword from the handle.

"Get out!" After shouting loudly, Edwin slashed at the void with his sword.

The sword he slashed actually created a black mark that looked like a crack in space, which lingered in the air for a long time and distorted the vision at the edge.

"Ah."

A chuckle sounded.

"Edwin, you ordered the activation of the Final Explosion and dropped three members of the Guards Corps on the Empire. The explosion in the southern blood sea almost killed me... I will always remember this incident!"

Gilan was deeply impressed by this. When he was still weak, he felt so frightened, angry and helpless facing the doomsday explosion.

He said indifferently:

"If you want to fight, then go ahead! What about playing with you?"

Soon, there was a loud clang.

The silver light collided with the black mark, causing a huge explosion, and the high-frequency vibration was extremely harsh.

boom! !

The terrible shock wave tore the rain curtain into pieces, forming an irregular and distorted area.

The strong mysterious magnetic field escaped and even caused a transmutation reaction of matter, that is, the crystallization of the concrete floor and the appearance of strange radioactive scratch textures.

Bah, bah, bah! !

There was constant noise and the clashing of swords.

Ding-ding-ding-ding! !
"Saber Master" Edwin held the staff sword in one hand and kept slashing at the void. Every posture was extremely powerful, without any unnecessary movements.

His entire body seemed to have turned into an afterimage, flickering and unclear. With the naked eye, only a blurry spherical area could be seen.

Countless silver sword beams were more violent than the rainstorm that was falling at this moment.

In just a few breaths, Edwin felt tremendous pressure.

His face hidden under the "elephant armor mask" was ashen and his eyes were extremely solemn.

The sense of oppression brought to him by the "Red Sage" was far greater than he had imagined!
It even became too much for Edwin to bear, and he had the illusion that he could not compete with her.

This is not a question of whether or not I can win, but...how long can I hold on? !

This made Edwin extremely shocked and angry.

His true form is the "Saber Master", the most powerful apostle under the "Blind General". He was the God of War of the Legion who had fought with the March Apostle "First Vanguard" Xizar Hajin for several months without losing.

But now, the two of us who have come to this world are being pinned down by an ordinary person. If we are not careful, we will die on the spot!

The combat experience he had accumulated over countless years, the combat skills he had perfected, the power of law brought by the "crown", etc., were completely useless in the fierce fight at this moment!

Because the "Red Sage" is equally lacking in combat experience, skills, and the power of law, and even in basic abilities such as physique and perception, he is superior to him!
This makes absolutely no sense!
Because it is impossible for such a perfect and powerful mortal to appear in this world!

Clang! ! !
Suddenly, an extremely fast silver slash came, and Edwin's pupils shrank suddenly.

He actually saw that the silver crack that was cut out from the void and sparkled like the starry sky stopped in mid-air.

It's like time has stood still.

Brilliant and gorgeous, extremely dazzling.

But the next moment, his black staff knife began to vibrate violently, as if it had suffered a horrible impact.

He was shocked!
"It's that move again! A slash that skips the battle path and process and directly causes the result!"

Edwin's heart trembled.

"Across space? No, his sword blinded my perception..."

He was not aware that Jilan possessed the essential ability of "extracting frames", and now facing this treacherous method in person, he felt overwhelmed.

Clang! !

The black staff knife in his hand broke with a sound, and the silver crack continued to move forward, cutting across Edwin's face.

blah-

Bang! !
Edwin's body tilted and his head jerked back as if he had been shot.

A cut appeared on his elephant armor mask, which was like an inverted iron barrel, and it was thrown high up, revealing the face of a middle-aged man underneath.

On Edwin's slightly wrinkled face, his left eye had long been blind, his right eye was red, and his expression was full of disbelief.

A bloodstain deep enough to see the bone ran from the right side of his face across the bridge of his nose to his left ear.

It was as if his face was cut in half!

If he hadn't dodged quickly, the sword of the "Red Sage" would have taken his life!

In less than a minute of fighting, Edwin was completely suppressed. He didn't even have the chance to hand over his trump card, and was almost killed by a sword...

Only then did he truly understand why the five apostles who surrounded and suppressed the "Red Sage" were completely annihilated, and why Speaker Leonidas could not defeat him...

Because Gilan is too strong!
Edwin even had a vague feeling that the opponent was much stronger than in the previous battle!

Unable to understand!

I can't understand it at all!

Edwin couldn't understand how such a monster could be born in the world? !
"It's so boring."

There were whispers of disappointment in the rainstorm.

"Even the Saber Master is so inferior to me. It seems that there is no opponent in the world worthy of my seriousness except Speaker Leonidas."

After that, there was a sound of thunder.

Boom! !

Edwin turned his head suddenly.

His expression darkened.

The terrifying silver thunder fell one after another, constantly locking onto and bombarding the members of the "Elephant Armor Guard" who were fleeing into the distance.

In just a few seconds, nearly half of the members were torn to pieces in the thunderstorm and decomposed into nothingness.

Although the remaining surviving members finally escaped from the military base and left the range of the rainstorm, the losses this time were too great!
This is equivalent to the number of "final explosions" that the Federation can initiate being reduced by half!
At the beginning, the "White Sage" risked his life to kill two members. But his student "Red Sage" was even more ruthless, killing dozens of members in one go like slaughtering chickens and dogs!

"You guys run fast."

A chuckle came from the void.

"But it doesn't matter. I have plenty of time to play with you guys. I'll come back next time when I'm free."

Listening to Gilan's slow and measured words, saying that slaughtering the "Elephant Guards" was as easy as drinking water, Edwin's forehead veins were exposed, his eyes twitched, and he said in a deep voice:
"Damn mad dog!"

"Ah……"

The void chuckled, seemingly unfazed by his curse.

Soon, the swirling dark clouds in the sky gradually dissipated and the heavy rain stopped.

There was dead silence all around.

Edwin stood there, blood streaming down his face, holding a broken black cane knife in his hand.

He looked around at the military base that had fallen into ruins and remained silent for a long time.

In the end, he just sighed heavily.

As long as the "Red Sage" does not ascend, the Federation will not have a single day of peace!
