winter era

Chapter 27
If there is one act in this world that is the most despicable and intolerable, it is undoubtedly the act of assassination.

Despicable and shameless, unwilling to face it head-on, no god or organization supports this behavior.Even if the emperor assassinates others, the people have the right to overthrow the shameless emperor.Because he turned his back on the best traditions of mankind since ancient times.

Even if it was an upright duel, no one would feel sad for this kind of behavior that blocked life and dignity.Because this is a choice made by a person with his own consciousness.So the act of dueling is a very honorable act, and it does not interfere with the act of the human spirit at all.Assassination is quite different.Assassination is an act that kills all hope.is the worst.

The identities are not equal, the information is not equal, even if there is no preparation.It is an intolerable crime to kill a talented person with a bright and generous future in the cradle like an accident.Be it the Imperial Mages or the Empire itself, no race would favor assassination except those demons and drow.Because that means giving up the future of a species, and it also means killing hope in the very beginning.Undoubtedly the most despicable behavior.

"However, if I kill a copy that is not even clear about whether it is normal or not, even a god can't convict me, right? Killing a demon is not considered killing, and in the same way, killing a copy is not counted as killing me." Assassination."

Kaos' mocking sound and the subsequent sound of gears sliding came from the ear of Edmund in the brown robe.

It was as if those organs had drawn a trap with huge potential energy, and the gradually oppressive sound vibrated his eardrum from the air.What followed was the gripping feeling of being grabbed by something behind the head.Then, through bone conduction, he could clearly feel and hear what was locked in the back of his head.

"Crossalmi Sword, judging by your shocked looks, you probably don't know anything?" A certain great wizard who should have been under the ice cliff is now standing in the shadow behind the gray-robed Edmund.As if jumping out of the water, Kaos' feet became like black ink, blending into the shadow of the gray-robed Edmund.Under the gaze of the poor man sweating profusely, the black great wizard pinched the back of the brown-robed head with one hand, and glanced at the red-robed and brown-robed Edmund with his inorganic eyes.

After the red robe and the brown robe realized what had happened, the two great wizards looked down the cliff at the same time.I saw the 'Great Wizard' smile mysteriously, his body turned into a cloud of green smoke and disappeared into the ice field.Looking at the rising pale white powder, the two great wizards clearly realized what kind of tricks they were deceived by.

Unconventional spell-spiritual clone.Able to create a self-aware double illusion to deceive.Skilled people can also use this illusion to communicate or cast certain spells.But you can't go too far.

It was clear to the two Edmunds that they had been deceived.But since when—

"A clone is a clone, and I don't even know the priority of the matter." As if he couldn't stand the actions of the two Edmunds who had no IQ at all, the great wizard in black robe slightly shook his wrist.The cage and the spring intertwine to produce a clear sound of leaving the body.Accompanied by a soft chirping sound, two indiscernible blood splashes splashed out from the back of the gray-robed Edmund's head.

Edmund in the gray robe froze in cold sweat.A pair of pupils quickly lost their brilliance, and the whole person lost the ups and downs of motivation as if their soul was drained.The crystal beads of sweat on his forehead quickly crystallized on his face because he lost the barrier protection he maintained, turning Edmund's lifeless face into a frosty white.

"From the very beginning, I felt something was wrong. I always felt that your conversations and my actions seemed to be more than a little slower. Now that I think about it, sure enough, how could there be three identical great wizards? Sure enough, you are clones, right?"

The pale wizard slowly withdrew his withered palm from his head.Both Edmunds could see the dark silver blade gradually retracting, and watched the murder weapon gradually retract into the palm of the black-robed great wizard.Edmund's body was allowed to lose its support, and hit the ground of the ice field directly, splashing out a circle of radiant blood.The sight of blood dripping from the back of the head instantly filled the hearts of the two replicas with some kind of indescribable emotion.

Is that feeling called anger?The two Edmunds now just wanted to kill the man in front of them.The lava-like breath immediately turned the faces of the two Edmunds red.The two of them didn't even think about any distracting thoughts now, they just wanted to cut off the pale and smiling head of the great wizard in black robe as a sacrifice to commemorate the fallen ally.

Thinking of this, the great wizard in brown robe bit his lip and glared at the slow-moving wizard in front of him, and suddenly raised his palm upwards.A group of anchor-like forms began to condense above the space, ready to fix everything in the surrounding area.

"High-speed casting: space anchor...!" "High-speed casting: force field turbulence...!"

"—Wide-area counterspell: space anchor. Gesture counter, force field turbulence." It was like seeing two children.

The space anchor didn't even gather its shape before it was countered by the great wizard in black robe who stretched out his hand and made a gesture like a snake bite.The originally condensed space once again let go of its own gaps, allowing all wizards to move forward unimpeded.And the oppressive atmosphere in the air also disappeared virtually.

And even after countering two spells, the popular and itchy great wizard still had the strength to wipe his blade clean on the dead body.Little by little, he pulled on the spring and put the sleeve arrow back together in his sleeve robe, hiding it in the shadows.Although it seems that there is an intention to talk, the two of them will not let go of this guy in black.

Facing the man trampling on the corpse, the two Edmunds were not discouraged by the first counterattack.Instead, they re-determined that the spell was aimed at Kaos on the corpse with a very quick reaction.

But this cautious action was exchanged for a more playful smile on the other side.

"Is it really a wrong decision to find you? After all, it's just a group of replicas..." The black man stood up and shrugged his shoulders very easily at the two who cautiously began to chant the spell gradually.

"I don't even know a little bit of intrigue, but I feel very bored. Why do two people choose different spells? If they cast the same spell, I'm not sure, I might be killed by you? But you replicas After all, it’s a copy, and it doesn’t understand the crisis consciousness of human beings at all... just like now, it’s like killing a chicken, isn’t it?”

There was a 'chi' sound, as if it was pierced by something again.

Edmund in the brown robe looked at the tip of the black-gray staff through his chest in disbelief, and turned his head to say his last words to the man holding the black staff.But the black-robed mage who didn't understand style at all pulled the black staff back directly.

Like stuffing a bomb into a dead body, the brown-robed Edmund gradually swelled his body under the desperate gaze of the red-robed, and finally swelled to the point where no one could recognize him, and he staggered and fell down. The cliff where the three of them are.In just a few seconds, a muffled sound was heard, and then a few pieces of visceral mixture were thrown from below into the midair of the cliff, decorating the white snow with some crystal clear pieces of meat.This caused Edmund, the last and only one who succeeded in casting the spell, to panic.

How long has it been in total?Is there 30 seconds? 20 seconds?Why can the guys who were suffering outside the barrier half a minute ago break their proud army so easily?It's totally unreasonable, isn't it?This breaks all the rules, doesn't it?why?

Edmund in the red robe looked at everything in front of him in confusion, not knowing what to say.

"Don't understand? Don't understand that I, a little guy who has given up his status as a great wizard, can kill you in such a short period of time? To put it bluntly, the academic school is nothing more than that. What's more, you are still a copy of that kind. "

After realizing that the enemy in front of him was an academic school, Kaos simply came to the man with a malicious smile and patted his shoulder this time.He really knows what academic school is.If the elves are the race he understands best, then the academic faction is undoubtedly the faction he understands best.It can be considered that these idealists were unlucky, and they ran into him in the Northland.

"The so-called academics are idiots who use numbers to replace wars. One giant dragon is equal to a thousand fully armed soldiers. And the great wizard can kill more than fifty dragons in a complete state, which means that the great wizard can Killed more than 5 soldiers? It seems that copying spar is indeed flawed, and the character who can split into three great wizards has become like this."

The great wizard shook his head, and neatly threw a dissociation spell on the dull-eyed red-robed great wizard.

Watching the red robe gradually collapse and merge with the ice and snow on the ground, Kaos let out a breath.

'But it was too smooth...it was so smooth that it seemed to be developed on purpose. Squinting his eyes and looking at the gradually burning canyon, Kaos still hasn't felt the real feeling of winning.Smelling the aroma of grilled dragon meat on the iron plate below, the great wizard fell into a little thought.

"Forget it, let him care so much." But the great wizard who never liked to study too much quickly shook his head.

"If I hadn't sacrificed all the shadow energy, I wouldn't be able to trade for such a fast casting speed and call energy. Without such great power, I wouldn't be able to defeat these three people. If I didn't defeat these three people, then I would be a loser. From the results It’s better to look at it, right?” Kaos smiled gratifiedly as he watched the glacier gradually melt under the unquenchable flame.

Although it was only for such a few minutes of mighty power, and the next side effect was to go back to the path of the great wizard.But judging from the results, it's a lucky ending not to die, right?Kaos thinks so.

"It's a blessing to be alive."

The great wizard who wiped out all the enemies in 30 seconds looked at the doomsday scene in front of him, and admired from the bottom of his heart.

If the enemy is not an academic, has not understood the real wizard's fighting method, and even does not know how to fight.So judging from his current physical condition, perhaps even ten Kaos would not be able to defeat those three Edmunds, right?
But it's okay to end well.Everything else can be skipped.

Sending a signal to the magic circle hidden in his body, Kaos could no longer bear the trouble of magic addiction, and passed out straight on the snow.Before his consciousness disappeared, he seemed to see a blue circle of light opening above his head.That is the magic light that he is very familiar with, and it can only appear when used for ultra-long-distance teleportation.

"Finally going home..." Kaos gently closed his eyes.
