Chapter 381 Chapter 379·"...Please don't make the same mistake again and again"

…

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

Seeing Noel trying to drag Lin Yin away, Xie Lude immediately followed a few steps away.

"The Kraken 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 standing directly in front of him, Noel pulled out the dagger at his waist and said, "Get out of the way."

"Uh-huh!"

"Sorry." Sherrod drew his knight's sword without giving up.

He held the golden knight's sword and stood firmly in front of Noel, preventing him from dragging Lin Yin away: "Miss Lin Yin's wishes must be respected in this matter."

Seeing Sherrod's lack of energy, Noel's eyelids twitched. He immediately turned his head and looked at Lin Yin:

"Lin Yin, let's go quickly, there is no time to delay here anymore!"

Lin Yin's expression was still a little confused. She still didn't understand how dangerous the "Siren Attack" was.

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

…

[Su Mingan: Noel, are you on the city wall? 】

[Noel: I am...]

…

The moment he saw the news, Lin Yin immediately stepped back, and a milky white defensive shield quickly appeared on his body.

"You're not Noel! Who are you!" she shouted loudly, already starting to quickly contact her teammates.

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

He showed a dignified and beautiful face.

...That was the Tulip Princess who should have been locked up.

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

...and turned into a pair of crimson eyes that seemed to be filled with blood.

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

"Back off—!"

Sevia, who was originally following Lin Yin and responsible for secret protection, immediately appeared and protected Lin Yin behind him.

He was not worried about the princess running out. The black pike who was using the rat weapon next to the princess had been poisoned by them and could no longer exert his fighting power. The princess alone could not overturn the situation at all.

But...there was something obviously wrong with the princess in front of her.

This golden rose, which originally appeared extremely dignified and beautiful, revealed its extremely ugly fangs in front of them.

Her nails gradually grew, becoming sharper and longer... and became like the claws of a siren, capable of easily slicing a person's throat.

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

Her slender body began to grow taller and longer, and her exquisite palace dress was suddenly opened, revealing a body covered with light blue scales and with a fish tail.

The lines on her body were extremely sharp, and pale bone spurs sprouted from her forehead, limbs, and fish tail. The ends were extremely sharp and glowed with a faint blue light, which was obviously poisonous.

Her golden hair was fluttering slightly behind her, and all the anger, grievance, and despair in her eyes had disappeared, and turned into a pair of slender eyes that were like dead water, without any fluctuations.

A transparent spirit floated behind her, as if a transparent, blood-red siren hugged her body from behind and kissed her gently behind her ears. The moment she opened her eyes, her His eyes became cold and cold, as if he were looking at several dead people.

In the most desperate moment,

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

She was unwilling to hand over her throne to Su Lin, and she was even more unwilling to be just a mascot holding the soul of the sea monster. She was not willing to be placed under house arrest in the palace without any status, serving as a tool to suppress the surrounding sea monsters. .

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 worn away her original intention, and the temptation of eternal life has weakened her will like a devil.

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

...and chose to embrace the soul of the Siren.

Different from her 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 dedicate himself to the sea monster, letting the sea monster's soul take over in exchange for the power to get out of the predicament.

At that moment, she suddenly realized.

It turns out that when she ventured out to sea, she met a human-like and stunningly beautiful sea monster, the king of sea monsters.

And what she took away at the beginning was only part of the Siren King's soul, the evil side soul belonging to the Siren.

And the stronger and more complete side of the soul,

…She never got it.

The complete soul turned out to be in the hands of the guy she was most jealous of, the despicable person who was clearly favored by the gods, but ignored the favor of the gods and chose to rebel.

She lost her original intention due to the biased malice in the Siren's soul, and used the most malicious methods to obtain "eternal life", but he was able to play in Praia unscrupulously, enjoying the care of his complete soul and complete emotions, and lived well all the time. , he could even take away her throne easily.

——Why should he?

——Su Lin, why?

Her eyes were blood red.

Strong energy waves rippled around her body, and the huge spirit body had completely blocked the way out.

"Princess."

Seeing this scene, the one who had the biggest reaction was not Lin Yin who heard the system sound of "The battle with the Kraken King with a combat power of 3500 starts", but Xie Lude who suddenly softened and knelt down on his knees.

His bright green eyes were filled with surging sadness.

"Quickly go-!"

Sevia grabbed Lin Yin and was about to leave from the side.

"You can't leave." The princess with blood-red eyes said calmly.

She raised her hand, and a sea-blue barrier rose around her, completely enveloping the room. Even if Sevia struck lightning on it, it would have no effect at all.

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Sevia gritted his 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.

"Praia is built on the sacrifices of several generations, including your fathers." Sevia said: "If you still have any responsibilities and self-esteem as a royal family, don't dedicate your life to the sea. Demon! Do you want to destroy this land?"

Listening to Sevia's accusation, the princess actually laughed.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

She laughed, extremely relaxed and without any manners, as if all the etiquette and rules she had been taught were thrown away in this loud laughter.

"——You said, I want to destroy this land? I have no responsibility and self-respect as a royal family?"

She smiled and burst into tears.

Those were blood-red tears.

Like blood, bloody tears slid down her gradually scaly cheeks.

"On the contrary!" She suddenly said coldly: "——It's precisely because I love this land!"

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

"——And it is precisely because I have the self-esteem of a royal family that I cannot let a perverse villain like Su Lin... subvert my kingdom of Praia!

“How can you understand what I do, a subordinate of a despicable ruler?

"My kingdom does not need you to step in, and my hometown does not need your salvation! You, a guy who surrenders to outsiders, how can you see the future of Praia? You advocate peaceful coexistence between humans and souls. Idiot - how to understand the current prosperity of Praia?

"Accusing me, questioning me - it's so ridiculous. Ask yourself, what have you done for this land? I use my own power to fight for my own land, so that the future of Praia can be in my hands. It has become extremely bright - why do you accuse me of righteousness?

"I am alive, but have I ever experienced the slightest bit of freedom that belongs to eternal life?

"I rule this land, but have I ever enjoyed the slightest bit of vanity that belongs to the nobility?

"Praya is built on the sacrifices of several generations, including my fathers - but those generations of people you are talking about, they - are all me!"

She roared almost crazily, and the Siren's soul behind her glowed with a blood-red, strange light.

Sevia turned pale.

The huge momentum of the sea monster pressed up like a mountain. He took half a step back to protect Lin Yin behind him.

At this moment, the princess raised her right hand.

In her hand, pale bone spurs climbed up her arm like a python, gradually transforming it into a sword-like blade.

She has long since learned balance and sacrifice.

The young Golden Rose who would hug her head and cry over the helpless sacrifice plan, hug her head and cry in the alley, and say "I'm sorry" in a panic, would have died in these long years of more than sixty years.

She personally killed the self that was too young, too young to be ignorant and naive.

The situation in Praia is not generous. It does not allow anyone to be free and easy, nor does it accept naive ideas. Romance and free 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 wants to launch a battle to drive out the "invaders" and kill the villains who peek at the throne.

She wants Praia's dominance to return to her hands.

Only she can bring her beloved residents the future they long for.

...a future where there will be no more "sacrifice" from now on.

"Uh-huh!"

She raised her right hand high and waved it hard.

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

Lightning flashed in Sevia's hand, and he tried to block the blow.

However, the gap in combat power between him and the Siren King was 500 points. Even with Lin Yin's assistance, the situation of this battle could not be changed.

Blood seeped out of his body.

Covering the wound, Sevia used all her strength to protect Lin Yin who was activating the teleportation scroll.

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

"Bang!"

A pair of hands firmly grasped the princess's outstretched bone claws.

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

The princess' eyes that gradually became dark and cold suddenly showed a trace of clarity.

"Sherrod...?" she called softly, looking at the knight kneeling on his knees.

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

Even as he was blocking her advances, his legs were still kneeling toward her.

He had sworn an oath to her.

He is a knight of the royal city who has sworn allegiance to her.

"Princess." Sheldon clasped her bone claws with both hands and said pleadingly.

"...Please don't make the same mistake again and again."

His palms were pierced by sharp bone spurs, and blood flowed like a stream. The skin on his palms had begun to turn darker, and the siren's poison began to seep into his body.

His body gradually glowed with a bright golden light, which was the divine power unique to the Bright Knight and blessed by the church.

...This is the energy that can best contain the Kraken.

As a "brave", he can resist the attack of the sea monster to a certain extent.

And at this moment,

The golden light on his body seemed to be burning on its own. It followed his arm and began to cling to the princess's arm. It was like a golden flame beating on her bone claws, as if it was trying to burn away the siren spirit in her body. generally.

"...Please." He begged softly.

The princess noticed this extremely strong golden flame and her expression changed.

The next moment, her figure suddenly disappeared from where she was.

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

"Is she gone?" Sevia asked.

"She should have returned to the sea monster to recover." Xie Lude showed a forced smile.

"That should be the Siren King." Lin Yin glanced at the location where the princess disappeared: "According to the information in the Great Library. As long as there are sirens around the Siren King to sacrifice for her, she will be immortal - unless we Being able to break into the sea monster's territory outside the barrier and kill her directly..."

She thought for a moment: "...Xie Lude, the light energy in your body is very useful. It can restrain the sea monster very well. Come with us to the city wall."

As she spoke, she noticed that the knight on the ground was only staring at his own bloody hands.

"Let me help you."

She handed him the notebook and pen on the floor, and then wrapped his palm with a strip of cloth.

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

He closed his eyes slightly, then quickly opened them.

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

…

On the island city wall, the fierce battle continued.

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

Although they are not at the same level of magnitude as the approaching sea monster.

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

"——Listen up, you can delay it for one second, just one second! Don't close the barrier until the last moment!"

On the city wall, Soul Hunter Clifford was commanding. In his hand was a small white crystal.

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

His eyes quickly wandered around, judging the running speed of the residents below and judging the timing of raising the barrier. Then, very suddenly, he saw a figure walking against the flow of people.

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