Bernard's voice echoed across the empty battlefield, carrying with it heart-wrenching despair.
"please!"
His eyes were red as he watched his men in front of him engage in a frenzied fight, with the smell of blood filling the air.
Under the moonlight, the silver armor flashed a cold light, but it could not conceal Bernard's inner helplessness.
"team leader"
Cassie stared at Bernard in a daze, never expecting the captain to do such a thing.
"Oh"
However, facing Gluttony's deep eyes, Bernard seemed to have lost all his strength.
His lips trembled, trying to find a reason that could convince the other party.
But Gluttony just said "Oh" faintly, as if he was not interested in Bernard's pleading.
"So, why did you want to blow away the red mist?"
Gluttony's voice floated in the night sky like a ghost, and every word was like a sharp knife piercing Bernard's heart.
"Why do you want to come here?"
"Now that you're here, shouldn't you be prepared?"
"I"
Bernard opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer.
consciousness?
Didn't he?
Don’t they?
Not wanting to die in such a humiliating way, was it because of him and the excuses they made?
Do not!
Just as Bernard was about to say something, Gluttony's voice echoed in his ears.
"So, you guys rushed over here without any preparation?"
The voice was very pleasant, but it carried a subtle hint of anger.
"You rushed over and wanted to kill your master, but you were not prepared to be killed?"
Gluttony is incomprehensible, in the memory of the owner.
When releasing murderous intent towards others and rushing forward with the intention of killing the other person.
That means being prepared.
Be prepared to be killed.
However, what is the person in front of me doing?
What have you done?
Gluttony covered her head, a complex emotion swirling in her mind.
She slowly stretched out her hand, her fingers were slender and long, as if containing some mysterious power.
"Since you want to change..."
She spoke softly, and every word seemed to carry some kind of magic that made the air around them freeze.
The corners of Gluttony's mouth rose slightly, an expression of pleasure.
"Then let's try it!" she said softly, lightly tapping her fingers.
The next moment, pure blood mist emerged from her fingertips, and the blood mist was so thick that water almost dripped out.
It slowly floated towards Bernard and then merged into his forehead.
"Ah ah ah ah ah!"
At the moment when that wisp of pure red mist merged into Bernard's mind, a heart-wrenching scream burst out from his mouth.
His body curled up and rolled on the ground in pain, as if he was experiencing unspeakable pain.
"team leader!"
Cassie wanted to go up, but the unbearable hunger almost took away his body, and he had no strength to go up.
They could only lie on the ground, watching the iron-blooded man who had been standing in front of them, who didn't shed a tear or make a sound even when his stomach was pierced, curl up and roll on the ground in pain.
Bernard's screams echoed in the forest. The sound was shrill and desperate, as if it was a call from the depths of hell.
How could this happen? What kind of pain could make the captain scream so miserably?
"you"
Cassie wanted to say something else, but was suppressed by Randolph, who pounced on her with red eyes.
"Randolph, wake up!"
Cassie covered Randolph's mouth, not wanting to hurt Randolph, but seeming to want to wake him up.
"hungry"
However, it was of no use. Seeing this, Cassie looked at Gluttony and stared at him with pleading eyes.
"please--"
"Aha"
Gluttony, perhaps out of boredom, yawned and explained:
"It's no use. I can't remove it now."
As for why, need an explanation?
She didn't know, maybe he was bored, or maybe he had some interest in the human standing in front of her and looking at her. Surprisingly, he looked into her eyes for so long at such a close distance.
Perhaps the young knight before him was qualified.
"how come"
Cassie looked desperate.
He could see that gluttony had not deceived her.
Or, in this situation where killing them is easy, and they will die even if you ignore them, there is no need to lie at all.
In fact, it does.
Both the monarch and she are in a bad situation now.
Gluttony and oath are inherently contradictory.
Just like good and evil, ice and fire.
Seven sins and seven virtues.
It is impossible to exist at the same time.
But it’s happening right before our eyes.
Gluttony had no idea about this.
After all, he is the master.
but!
The seal and ancient runes had already suppressed her completely.
However, the sudden "vow" broke everything.
Make a mess of everything.
The release of her desire for overeating is a manifestation of her current bad condition.
But all this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is the master's consciousness, which fell into a deep sleep for unknown reasons.
And there was no sign of waking up.
This is very dangerous.
This is also one of the reasons why gluttony appeared and took over Ye Yan's body.
"Ahhh!"
Gluttony covered his head.
"Time is running out!"
The moment she finished speaking, a faint red mist spread from her body.
Take a step forward, and a red lotus will appear with every step.
Like an angel.
But in Bernard's eyes, it was like a ghost.
Staring at Gluttony's disappearing back, he could only curl up and roll on the ground, roaring in pain.
"Ahhhh!"
Thousands of swords piercing the heart, peeling off the skin and tendons?
This kind of pain was nothing compared to what she was going through now.
He could clearly feel that every cell in his body was roaring and fighting.
It was as if every cell in his body had grown a mouth, biting and devouring the cells around it.
And all these pains would rush into his mind all at once.
At this moment, he truly understood the horror of the elf cub in front of him.
That might be the person he could never catch up with no matter how hard he tried in his life.
At the same time, he also understood what the choice that the elf cub gave him was about.
Would he condemn himself to eternal damnation for the sake of his men?
If this were in a picture book, perhaps there would appear a kind knight with noble character, who spoke of the goodness of human nature and then sacrificed himself without hesitation.
But this is not a picture book, this is reality.
Who can make the right decision before the pain of having their brain torn apart?
No, who can say that choice is wrong?
For this, am I wrong?
Hasn't he done enough for his subordinates?
This thought flashed through Bernard's mind.
So he made the third choice.
A choice that he will regret for the rest of his life.
This choice created the Scarlet Knight who was feared in the future.
It is a ghost wandering in Shen Yun Forest.
To put it in the words of a time traveler, it is a random wild BOSS.
