The faded person who shuttles between the everyday and the extraordinary

However, in the following days, Esdeath had no intention of returning to the Imperial Capital. He just followed the orders of the Imperial Capital and wandered around the empire.

........................

........................

After hugging Esdeath's lap, An Yan followed him around the empire, suppressing rebellions in various places and resisting foreign nationalities in various countries.

But with the three beast warriors and Esdeath around, his chances of contributing are greatly reduced. If he really encounters an enemy he can't defeat or seeks an enemy, he doesn't need to use medicine. He just needs to silently take a step back, and the rest of the matter will be solved. .

What he needs is to obtain souls, and Esdeath likes to suppress rebellions and massacre foreign enemies, and also likes to torture powerful enemies with various tortures. He also likes to make up for others' wounds. Both sides have the same interests.

Although he doesn't like killing people, since he has the fastest way to strengthen, it is naturally difficult for him to refuse a supporter like Esdeath.

To put it in a nicer way, it can be regarded as for the country?

Although this is not his country, it is still quite a corrupt country, but those rebels who keep popping up from various regions and call themselves the revolutionary army are not good things.

They colluded with foreign ethnic groups in the West, and the reward was to return the territory that once belonged to them... It sounds like there is no problem, but when you think about it, it becomes a big problem.

Because the current territory of the empire had been fixed during its heyday a thousand years ago. It is said that the return is actually giving the inherent territory of thousands of years to foreigners as a reward for helping them usurp the throne. I am afraid that it will not be long after taking power. An empire.

If Esdeath didn't lie to him, it can only be said that he is a corrupt, cruel and traitorous person seeking glory... From a neutral point of view, it is not a good thing. Naturally, he would first find a strong person to seek benefits for himself as much as possible. ——After all, he is not a good person, and he has no power to influence these situations, so he can only go with the flow for the time being.

And today is the same as usual...

"Ah~ I'm so glad. The generals of foreign nations in the West are really capable of carrying this."

Esdeath, with his hands covered in blood, walked out of the torture room with a satisfied look on his face. An Yan stood guard outside the door and asked, "Isn't it necessary?"

"It's not necessary anymore, just deal with it."

"Please leave such a trivial matter to me." An Yan put it on his chest and leaned forward slightly. Under the eyes of the three beastmen on the side who were unable to comment, he walked into the interrogation room and raised the knife in his hand. The dying prisoners of war were killed one by one.

"It's really hard to understand your guy's interest... You actually like to touch up the half-dead guy." Daidas's face was full of contempt for his behavior: "Such behavior can't be said to be against the strong. He has no experience at all and is just adding insult to injury!"

"Who is like you, a guy who is full of muscles and only knows how to challenge the strong? I am kind-hearted and just want to relieve them. What do you know?"

"Kind-hearted...?" Even Esdeath showed a somewhat difficult expression after hearing his words.

Because An Yan destroyed the dam just three days ago, and together with a small amount of evidence that was found to intend to rebel, the imperial troops who were used as cannon fodder, and the troops pursued by foreign nations from the West, a total of more than [-] people were sent to the bottom of the lake by the flood. .

After the interception, the alien troops were also encircled and suppressed by them. Except for the second half that was intercepted by the flood, they were all annihilated... Although the war is to use all possible means, the act of directly blowing up the dam can be regarded as a thoughtful act. Kind?

And Esdeath's gaze made him unable to help but spread his hands: "Don't look at me like this, I just hope the war will end quickly, and being kind to the enemy is cruelty to yourself."

"Yes, this sentence is great... Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself! Okay! Let's go and annihilate the remaining enemies!"

Esdeath, who liked his words very much, smiled and nodded, and then stopped caring about it, urging everyone to prepare for the second crusade against the Western foreign nations that invaded the empire.

Next... As time passed, the crusade force, led by Esdes and supported by the modern tactics that An Yan had learned, quickly counterattacked into the fortress city stronghold where the alien invasion force was based.

In order to hunt for treasure, An Yan rushed to the front when the city gate was breached.

"Oh, this guy finally looks like a warrior and doesn't play tricks anymore!" Daidas looked at An Yan's back and couldn't help but be moved that his companion had finally "corrected his evil ways and returned to the right ways."

But Liwa beside him shook his head silently: "I think he just wants to get some benefits, otherwise how could such a guy who has no benefits and can't afford to get up early, run ahead of us."

"I think so..." Niu also nodded silently: "However, it is not good to let him take the lead."

"Don't lag behind the newcomers! Let's go together! No matter what, whoever grabs it belongs to whom!" Esdeath gave an order, and the three people and the elite troops behind them immediately cheered and swarmed forward.

An Yan in front of him had literally turned into a violent wind and rushed straight into the enemy formation.

The hastily formed defense force at the city gate was unable to withstand his charge, and was immediately torn open. Before they even had time to encircle them, a group of imperial soldiers rushed forward, causing them to become chaotic.

Using the entangled wind as a blade, An Yan continuously slashed mercilessly, using his astonishing speed and power in conjunction with the storm to slash at the foreign race.

The place where they passed became wailing, and a large number of foreign soldiers fell powerlessly.

The enemy's attacks could not catch up with his figure like the wind. The excitement of slaughtering prey echoed all around. It didn't take long for him to take the lead and arrive at the enemy's headquarters.

However, he had just cut off the young gatekeeper with one blow, and opened the door with his kick, but he noticed that there were actually five strong and strong generals inside. They were obviously high-ranking officials of foreign races, and each of them seemed to be of great strength.

Everyone gave him the feeling that he couldn't be killed without taking medicine or paying some price, especially the alien general at the bottom. He felt that he was not on the same level as other generals.

"What? Did the imperial army attack so quickly?" The foreign general sitting at the top of the stairs, covered in heavy armor, looked at An Yan at the entrance, then glanced at the young gatekeeper who was chopped down by him, and suddenly frowned. He stood up with a brow and swung the warhammer beside him: "You hateful empire lackeys! Even if you die today! We will make you injured and broken!! Let you see what barbaric arrogance is...!"

"——I'm sorry, I went to the wrong door, bye!"

Before the foreign general finished speaking, An Yan, who had not taken medicine for quite some time and was trying hard not to rely on medicines that would be a burden on the body, closed the door again without even thinking about it.

Chapter 5 The Evil Teigu·Establishment of the Star and Moon Faith·Reunion

After noticing that he had inadvertently opened the dangerous door, Anyan quickly closed the door again and ran away without thinking.

However, such behavior completely angered everyone in the room.

"——Don't even think about escaping!! Everyone! The time has come to sacrifice our lives for the country together!!"

Behind him came the roar of the foreign general, but An Yan didn't dare to stop for a moment. But after turning a corner, he suddenly stopped running and even turned around to look at the generals who were chasing him. .

"Why don't you run away? Do you understand that you are the one who will die?!" The general behind the crowd swung his war hammer hard, smashing open the wall of the building next to him, and was about to come over with murderous intent.

An Yan smiled confidently, then silently stepped back to the side to get out of the way.

Esdeath appeared from around the corner with the three beast warriors, looking at the chasing people with contempt in his eyes.

"Esdeath...!" The general's eyes suddenly shrank, but he still showed no intention of retreating.

But Esdeath looked at An Yan again, showed an unhappy expression, and shouted sternly: "What's wrong with you? If you want me to do anything, what else do I want from you?!"

"No, no, no...it's obvious that I can't beat these guys. Even if I go up with the three of them, it would be a good outcome if we die together!" An Yan pointed with a speechless expression. Pointing to the three beast warriors behind her, she knew very well that without Esdeath, she and the three beast warriors would basically die together, so there was no way they could fight alone.

And Esdeath was also speechless: "So, if I was the one who took action, what else do you need to do?"

"But General, if you don't take action, we will all die first?" Did he really doubt that Esdeath would be targeted. When she was targeted, her subordinates would first send her out to give her experience, and then fight against a group of people alone?I even couldn't help but want to complain, her behavior was similar to the ultimate boss who must be defeated.

"Forget it, when this war is over, I will personally train you and teach you what a soldier's backbone is." He said such words that could not be refused, and did not intend to listen to him explain more about Esdeath. Wanting to enjoy the battle, he walked towards the tense body. He was obviously wary of his general. He grinned with a malicious smile like a predator: "You look really good. I hope you can let me enjoy it."

"Don't underestimate us!!"

The general of the foreign nation also showed a heroic smile, took the initiative to swing his war hammer and rushed towards her.

The two sides, who were at war with each other at first, clashed in the next moment.

However.....

The battle will last no more than 5 minutes.

The peak showdown between each other came to an end very simply.

To a certain extent, it can be called a one-sided crushing. Although the general seemed to be fighting back and forth with Esdeath, in fact Esdeath didn't even use the imperial equipment. The battle ends quickly when the tool is used

The generals were all decapitated, the general had his legs cut off, and Daidas scolded Anyan for hiding behind and snatching heads with sneak attacks, but Anyan only argued that he was helping them quickly deal with the enemy.

Esdeath didn't care about this at all, so he asked people to take the general back and prepare to try a new method of torture.

As if it were a matter of course, An Yan would eventually become the dead soul under the sword, that is, after killing the general... he would inevitably face the "training" of sparring with Esdeath.

Even if you don't want to, you have to admit that Esdesbe himself is not like a human being. Even if he doesn't use the Teigu, ordinary Teigu users will be killed if they face each other.

The speed, strength, and combat experience are probably stronger than those of the humanoid Teigu... At least now, he really can't think of any way to defeat this guy.

But now that the enemy general has been captured, the subsequent battle is a complete massacre.

And he also joined the imperial army's formation to pursue the remaining enemies, and was at the forefront. He was even... the first to rush into the general's mansion, preparing to find valuable things.

.........................

.........................

Just when An Yan was the first to obtain the general's residence through the surrendered foreign soldiers, summoned the wind, killed the soldiers guarding the door, and broke into the mansion...

The imaginary resistance did not appear. Instead, a middle-aged woman walked in front of a group of old, weak, women and children, and knelt down in front of him, pleading sadly:

"P-please! I am willing to give all my treasures, even me! As long as you can let our family go!"

"Forget it, but what can you offer? If you have anything to satisfy me, I can protect your family."

He didn't know how many similar lines he had heard during this period. He refused her request to dedicate himself without thinking, and stared at her with an interested smile.

He really has no interest in the old, weak, women and children. After all, he has no interest in killing the weak who won't resist, and the weak can't provide any souls.

Even if he didn't take action, others would come and eradicate it, and there was no need for him to do such a thing.

But if he could really give something, he wouldn't mind providing them with shelter during the massacre that the Imperial Army would carry out next. After all, Esdeath wouldn't care about letting some people go... It's better to say Esdeath Will deliberately let some people go, waiting for their revenge when they are full of rage.

Usually at this time, he would choose to turn his back and act as if he didn't see it, neither stopping nor participating.

Although he understands that this is no different from being complicit, he has no way to stop it, let alone stop it... He still blends in to gain the maximum benefit for himself.

Therefore, although he considers himself not a good person, he cannot enjoy the benefits brought by Esdeath and others while still accusing them of being cruel and cruel.

Picking up the bowl to eat, putting down the chopsticks and scolding the mother - this is something that even if you think you are shameless, you can't help but despise.

Of course he also understands that he is being hypocritical, no...it's not even hypocritical.

Under normal circumstances, he would not go to the house of the victim because he did not want to know the past of the victim, let alone know that they were also someone's son or father, which would bring unnecessary psychological burden to himself.

This time is an exception, because... General!He must be very rich and have some incredible treasures, right?

An Yan thought so, and the middle-aged woman opposite actually held out the golden bottle that had been prepared with both hands, and nervously introduced:

"This is the Teigu, the return of the king and the devil's words."

"Oh~ It feels so powerful just by hearing the name? What is it specifically?"

"To be specific...it is said that the same material as the Teigu's ever-changing Cross Tail comes from the legendary super-dangerous species that inhabits the clouds of the East China Sea."

"Really? So powerful?? Did the ancient empire really defeat that dangerous species?"

According to the incomplete Teigu atlas, the strongest line among the crossed tails is called the Kaishu Line, and its toughness is far superior to other silk threads. Not to mention the Teigu that claims to be able to cut anything in the world, it is called the two-part Teigu of all things. , not even space can cut it off.

Therefore, the super dangerous species in the cloud can be said to be the strongest super dangerous species.

I have never heard of it. The ancient empire had obtained other body materials of that dangerous species, but the connection with that dangerous species must be very strong... or so he thought.

However, the woman's face looked a little strange, and she said hesitantly: "No...I don't know about this, it's just..."

"only?"

"It is said that this is the unborn child of the super dangerous species who died in the egg..."

"Uh...egg? Hairy egg? Or liquid egg?"

"I don't know the specifics, but this Teigu that has been turned into liquid contains the resentment of the super-dangerous embryo that died in infancy. The user will be backlashed, the spirit will be broken and corroded, and the soul will be refined in two days, and he will be able to return to the world again. into this pot, but according to research and development...or the craftsmen who collected it in the past have examined and speculated with secret techniques, if one can control this power, a dark kingdom can be quickly established, but no one has been able to control it so far."

"It sounds like it has quite incredible power. No wonder it's the 'Return of the King'. Does this mean that the unborn super dangerous species will rule the world again?"

Hearing the powerful ability, An Yan directly picked up the golden bottle and observed it. After expelling everyone, he was alone in the corner of the deserted courtyard. Without thinking, he raised his head and drank the dark liquid inside.

In an instant - unable to communicate, unable to convey understanding, leaving only endless hatred and resentment, the twisted will followed the liquid and poured into his mind.

"Okay~~! Very good! But...! This is...my body! My spirit...is not fragile enough to be defeated by the embryo!!"

The mental power that had been continuously strengthened during this period made him kneel down uncontrollably at first with a twisted smile on his lips, swallowing up the resentment.

In fact, devouring the spirit and soul can be regarded as the instinct of the faded person.

His originally dark brown eyes also turned completely black at this moment, and strange runes flashed in his eyes. As he was completing this round of devouring, he understood instinctively what this power was. What.

Or a growth-type ability that is more powerful than he imagined, but has great limitations, or an ability like a natural talent.

The language of the devil literally means that words have the power to seduce people's hearts. It is not a problem to increase the intensity of efforts to completely control people from the spiritual level. It is like the language of the devil playing with people's hearts, so it is called the language of the devil.

This word can even directly affect reality, just like a king issuing a king's order to people or things, that is, an absolute command from the king.

Regardless of whether the other party is willing or not, this coercive force will forcefully control his body, because the king's order is mandatory.

But compared to the devil's words that penetrate the spirit, the direct use of the King's Order will also be very expensive, and it will be difficult to become a king without overwhelming strength. It is impossible to directly control evenly matched enemies, and you can only control them. To fight against all things.

But... he was very convinced that this kind of ability was tailor-made just for him.

Because in this way, he can brainwash some soldiers first, and then let them cooperate with his control power, thereby controlling a group of people to fight, and plunder more souls with very little consumption and higher efficiency.

It seems that it is not difficult to realize that a dark kingdom can be easily created. It is only a matter of time before the top leaders can be directly brainwashed or a cult group or even a cult nation can be easily created in which everyone is completely brainwashed.

When he came back with the bottle but said nothing, fear and uneasiness appeared on the face of the woman kneeling on the ground, and she asked cautiously: "How do you feel... how... how... ..”

"Ah~ Although I already have the Teigu and can't use it anymore, I just gave it a try. This Teigu is genuine. I'll protect your family!"

An Yan nodded with satisfaction, then walked out of the house carrying the bottle again, yelled at the imperial soldiers who wanted to break into the house and plundered it, and told them that this was their own territory.

Although some people were dissatisfied that he had the fattest meat, it was a pity that fists were the last word in Esdeath's army, and no one dared to say anything.
