Chapter 382: Three hundred and seventy-nine

  Chapter 382 Chapter 379 · "...Please don't make a mistake again and again"

  …

   "—Laken! Where are you taking Miss Lin Yin!"

   Seeing that Nuoer was about to drag Lin Yin away, Xie Lude immediately followed a few steps.

   "The siren is attacking the city, I have to take her to the underground treasure house, to the safest place in Praia." Noel explained irritably.

   Seeing Xie Lude directly in front of him, Noel pulled out the dagger at his waist: "Get out of the way."

   "Sigh!"

   "Sorry." Sherudd drew his knight's sword without hesitation.

   Holding a golden knight sword, he firmly blocked in front of Nuoer, preventing him from dragging Lin Yin away: "In this matter, Miss Lin Yin's wishes must be respected."

   Seeing Xie Lude's oil and salt not getting in, Nuo Er's eyelids jumped, he immediately turned his head and looked at Lin Yin:

   "Lin Yin, hurry up, there is no time to delay here any longer!"

  Lin Yin's expression is still a little confused, she still doesn't understand how dangerous the "sea monster siege" is.

   But at this moment, she heard a "ding dong" from the team chat.

  …

   [Su Ming'an: Nuoer, are you on the city wall? 】

  【Noel: I'm in... 】

  …

   At the moment of seeing this news, Lin Yin immediately stepped back, and a milky white protective cover quickly appeared on his body.

   "You are not Noel! Who are you!" She shouted loudly, and had already started to quickly contact her teammates.

   The brilliance in her hand bloomed, and the face of the person in front of her fell off.

   He showed a dignified and beautiful face.

  ...that's the Princess Tulip who should have been locked up.

   At this time, her beautiful and ambitious eyes were no longer the original color.

  … became a pair of dark red eyes that seemed to be accumulating blood.

   A transparent spiritual body floated behind her, and sharp, pale fangs gradually appeared at the corners of her mouth.

   "Back up—!"

   Originally following Lin Yin, Sevia, who was in charge of secret protection, immediately showed up and protected Lin Yin behind him.

   He wasn't worried about the princess running out. Black Pike, who was beside the princess, had been poisoned by them and could no longer exert his fighting power. The princess alone would not be able to overturn the situation at all.

   But... the princess in front of me is obviously not right.

  This golden rose, which was originally very dignified and beautiful, showed extremely ugly fangs in front of them.

   Her fingernails gradually grew, became sharper and longer... They became like the claws of a siren, and could easily cut a person's throat.

   On the side of her ears, the original ears disappeared, replaced by a pair of transparent, thin, cicada-like fins.

   Her slender body began to rise and lengthen, and the delicate palace dress was suddenly stretched open, revealing a body covered with light blue scales and with a fish tail.

   The lines on her body are extremely sharp, and pale bone spurs grow from her forehead, limbs, and fish tail. The ends are extremely sharp and glowing with a faint blue light, obviously with a strong poison.

  Golden hair fluttered slightly behind her, and all the anger, grievance, and despair in those eyes had disappeared, and they turned into a pair of stagnant, slender eyes without any fluctuations.

The transparent spiritual body floated behind her, as if there was a transparent, blood-red Kraken hugging her body from behind and gently kissing behind her ears, the moment she opened her eyes, her His eyes became cold and cold, as if he was looking at a few dead people.

  In the most desperate moments,

   Princess Tulip, whose soul has been completely corrupted, is reluctant to hold the power in her hands.

She was unwilling to hand over her throne to Su Rin, and she was even more unwilling to be just a mascot holding the soul of the Kraken. She was unwilling to be placed under house arrest in the palace without any status, acting as a tool to suppress the surrounding Kraken. .

   But she couldn't cut off the winter snow pendant around her neck, and the threat of death surrounded her all the time.

  The passage of time has eroded her original intention, and the temptation of eternal life has diminished her will like the devil.

  In the end, she chose to completely bury her past, young, innocent and passionate self.

  …and chose to embrace the soul of the siren.

   Different from the previous choice, she did not use the soul of the siren to help her occupy the next "Petri dish".

   Instead, he chose to use himself as a "Petri dish" and dedicated it to the Kraken, allowing the Kraken's soul to dominate in exchange for the power to get out of the predicament.

   At that moment, she suddenly found out.

   It turned out that at the beginning, when she ventured out to sea, the human-like, stunningly beautiful sea monster she encountered was the king of the sea monsters.

   And what she took away was only a part of the soul of the Kraken King, belonging to the Kraken, the evil side of the soul.

   and the stronger and more complete side of the soul,

  …she never got it.

The    complete soul originally fell into the body of the guy she was most envious of, the despicable person who chose to rebel, who was clearly favored by the gods, and who abandoned the favor of the gods.

She lost her original intention under the biased malice in the Kraken's soul, and used the most malicious method to obtain "immortality", but he was able to play in Praia recklessly, enjoying the complete emotional care of his complete soul and living well. , and can even take her throne easily.

  —Why is he?

  —Why is Su Rin?

   Her eyes were red with blood.

  Intense energy waves rippling around her, and the huge spiritual body has completely blocked the way to leave.

"Princess."

   Seeing this scene, the one who reacted the most was not Lin Yin who heard the sound of the "BOSS battle of 3500 Kraken King" system, but Xie Lude who suddenly softened and knelt down.

   His green eyes were filled with surging sadness.

   "Come on—!"

   Sevia grabbed Lin Yin and left.

   "I can't go." The blood-red-eyed princess said lightly.

   She raised her hand, and a sea-blue barrier rose up around it, completely covering the room. Even if Sevia bombarded it with lightning, it would have no effect.

   Seeing that he could not escape, Sevia gritted her teeth and stood in front of Lin Yin.

   "Princess." He said, "Don't let Praia be destroyed in your hands."

  The princess dropped her gaze.

"Playa is built on the sacrifice of generations, including your fathers," Sevia said. "If you still have the responsibility and pride of being a royal, don't give your life to the sea. Demon! Do you want to destroy this land?"

   Hearing Sevia's accusation, the princess actually laughed.

"Ha ha ha ha…"

   She laughed, with a very relaxed laugh, with no manners, as if she had discarded all the etiquette and rules she had cultivated in this loud laugh.

   "—You say, I want to destroy this land? I don't have the responsibility and self-respect of being a royal?"

   She smiled and laughed, tears came out.

   Those were blood red tears.

   Like blood, **** tears slid down her scaly cheeks.

   "On the contrary!" She suddenly said coldly: "- precisely because I love this land!"

   "I love this land, I love all the people on the land, and it is because of this... that I have imprisoned myself with 'eternal life' to this day.

   "- And it is precisely because I have the pride of being a royal family that I can't let a rebellious villain like Su Rin... subvert my kingdom of Praia!

   "Subordinate of the vile ruler, how can you understand what I am doing?

"My kingdom doesn't need your entry, and my hometown doesn't need your rescue! You who submit to outsiders, how can you see the future of Praia? You advocate the peaceful coexistence of humans and souls. The idiot of - how to understand the prosperity of Praia?

"Accusing me, questioning me - it's just ridiculous, you ask yourself, what have you done for this land? I use my own strength to fight for my own land, so that the future of Praia can be changed by my hands It is extremely bright - why do you accuse me of righteousness?

   "I'm alive, but have I ever experienced the slightest bit of freedom that belongs to immortality?

   "I rule this land, but have I ever enjoyed the vanity of the nobles?

   "Playa was built on the sacrifices of generations, including my fathers - but those generations you call them - all of me!"

   She roared frantically, and the soul of the Kraken behind her was a blood-red, eerie light.

  Sevia paled.

  The enormous aura of the Kraken pressed up like a mountain. He took a half step back to protect Lin Yin who was behind him.

   At this moment, the princess raised her right hand.

   In her hand, a pale bone-thorn python clambered up her arm, gradually transforming it into a sharp blade like a sword.

   She has long learned balance and sacrifice.

   The young Golden Rose who would hug her head and cry at the helpless sacrifice plan, hug her head and cry in the alley, and say "I'm sorry" embarrassedly, has long since died in these sixty years.

   She personally killed the too young, ignorant and innocent self.

  The situation in Praia is not well-off, it does not allow anyone to be at ease, nor does it accept naive ideas, romance and freedom-loving humanity are not allowed here.

   All battles are necessary battles. Once one of them is avoided, it will only be filled with more sacrifices.

   And now,

  ... She is going to launch a battle to expel the "invaders" and kill the villains who peek at the throne.

   She wants to bring Praia's rule back to her.

  Only she can bring her beloved residents the future they look forward to.

  …a future that will no longer “sacrifice” from now on.

   "Sigh!"

   She raised her right hand and waved it hard.

   The white light like a crescent moon passed through her right arm and rushed towards Sevia and Lin Yin who were leaning against the barrier.

   Sevia's hand flickered, and he tried to block the blow.

   However, the difference in combat power between him and the Siren King is a full 500 points. Even with Lin Yin's assistance, this battle cannot be changed.

   Fresh blood came out.

   Covering the wound, Sevia tried her best to protect Lin Yin who was activating the teleportation scroll.

   At this moment, the princess' left paw with faint poisonous light was already close to his body.

   "Boom!"

   A pair of hands firmly grasped the bone claws stretched out by the princess.

  Sharp bone claws pierced his hands, and blood slowly flowed down the armor.

  The princess's eyes gradually became dark and cold, and suddenly there was a trace of clarity.

   "She Luther...?" she called softly, looking at the knight on his knees.

   He straightened his upper body and clasped hers tightly with both hands.

   Even though he was blocking her attack, his legs were still kneeling towards her.

   He swore to her.

   He is a royal knight who swore allegiance to her.

   "Princess." Sherudd said pleadingly, clasping her claws with both hands.

   "...Please don't make another mistake."

   His palm was pierced by sharp bone spurs, and blood flowed like a stream. The skin of the palm has begun to turn dark, and the siren's poison has begun to seep into his body.

   A dazzling golden light gradually appeared on his body, which was unique to the Knights of Light and blessed by the church.

  …This is the energy that can most restrain the siren.

  As a "Brave", he can resist the attack of the Siren to a certain extent.

   And at this moment,

The golden light on his body seemed to be burning spontaneously, following his arm, and began to cling to the princess's arm, like a golden flame beating on her bone claws, as if to burn out the Kraken spirit body on her body generally.

   "…Please," he pleaded softly.

Princess    noticed this extremely strong golden flame, and her face changed.

   In the next instant, her figure suddenly disappeared in place.

   Sevia and Lin Yin, who were still in shock, came over.

   "Is she gone?" Sevia asked.

   "It should be back to the Kraken to recover." Shelude smiled reluctantly.

"That should be the Kraken King." Lin Yin glanced at the location where the princess disappeared: "According to the information in the Great Library. As long as the Kraken King has a Kraken sacrifice for her, she will not die - unless we can Break into the Kraken's territory outside the barrier and kill her directly..."

   She thought for a moment: "...Xie Lude, the light energy in you is very useful, it can restrain the siren well, let's go to the city wall with us."

   She said, but noticed the knight on the ground, only staring at his own blood-stained hand.

   "I'll help you."

   She handed him the notebook and pen on the ground, and then wrapped his palms with cloth strips.

   "...Thank you, Miss Lin Yin." Xie Lude picked up the knight sword in his hand.

   He closed his eyes slightly, then quickly opened them.

   "It is my duty to defend Praia, and I will climb the city wall." He said to Lin Yin.

  …

   On the island city walls, fierce battles continued.

   In order to protect the people who are still outside the city wall and are rushing into the city wall, the soul hunters chose to take the initiative to attract the attention of the siren to protect their relatives who are still fleeing.

   Although they are not at the same order of magnitude as the rushing siren.

The cracks in the    barrier have been torn open more and more, gradually becoming small holes, and the number of sea-monsters rushing in has increased exponentially, and soon they are all over the mountains and plains.

   "—Listen, it can be delayed for a second, it's a second! Don't close the barrier until the last moment!"

   Above the city wall, Soul Hunter Cleaver commanded, and in his hand was a small white crystal.

  When this white crystal is broken, the barrier will rise, and at that time, those who are still outside will no longer have the opportunity to rush into the city.

   His eyes darted around quickly, judging the running speed of the residents below and the timing of raising the barrier, and then, very abruptly, he saw a figure running against the flow of people.

   Her hair was in the wind and snow, like a flying fire, rushing overseas like a icy cold wave.
