Chapter 218 The Death of Star Child
"Stop, stop those monsters of Sri and delay time for His Highness the Prince!"
The soldiers of Xingluo City rushed away one after another. They waved the long sword in their hands and rushed forward without fear of life and death. Their flesh and blood were trembling and numb.
The starlight above the head scattered on the ground, and those lights seemed to be associated with these lives.
They don't know the time, but everyone believes it-
If they hold on for a while, they will be called the Prince of the Stars and will truly end it all.
However, the next moment.
The starry sky above my head suddenly darkened and turned into a messy blood red!
"What's going on?! Is this the Prince's method? Or those Sri people..."
Seeing the strange shape of the starry sky, all the soldiers in Xingluocheng felt a stinging pain from their heads and their bodies were rapidly weakening, but even so, they still leaned against the city wall and confronted the Sri army outside the star barrier.
But the next moment, something even more bloody happened.
The Sri army rushed directly into the barrier.
Then, enter it.
A layer of blood was also emitted from the star barrier - it did not have any impact on these invaders.
"Why do they..."
The defenders of Xingluo City were briefly confused and then their eyes became firm again. They continued to raise the sword in their hands and rushed forward.
Just because the enemy is coming.
...
Xingluocheng Royal Palace, the gate of the palace was heavily knocked open and smashed against the wall.
The dull sound echoed in the space.
The leprosy king walked in front, and he looked at the throne, his own child—
At this time, the star child leaned against him in a sluggish manner.
The stars were still tangled all over his body, but his eyes were wandering, and deep in his eyes, there was a trace of undetectable guilt.
"What's going on in the Star Enchantment? You're letting those Sri people come in. These starlights, under your control, are affecting our warriors."
The leprosy king stepped forward, and a hint of anger appeared in his eyes behind the mask.
"I'm sorry, father..."
The star boy was stuttering, but the Leprosy King and everyone behind him saw that the "Son of Stars" in front of him did not stop his movements.
"Listen, tell your reasons, or stop and fight against those devils!"
The Leprosy King took another step forward. Although he was just an ordinary person, he still exuded a kingly power in front of the Son of Stars.
"I, I can't..."
"As the king of Xingluo City, you are sitting in this position, but you are casting towards those devils?"
"I, I'm not, I just can't stop - I dare not fight those devils..."
"Stop!"
The leprosy king looked at the sky outside the palace, and the bloody light was still spreading in the starry sky.
He raised his tone and took another step towards Star Child!
But the next moment, Xing Child raised his hand, and a starry light like a sword light emerged from mid-air, leaving a deep scratch just a few miles in front of the Leprosy King!
"You——"
The leprosy king finally showed horror. He looked at Xinghai and breathed silently:
"Child, as you said before, you are the son of the stars, you have the power given by the stars - if you don't want to, no one in this world can force you to do anything."
Hearing this sentence, Xinghai trembled and hugged his head with both hands. Tears flowed out of his handsome face and dripped on the silvery ground.
"Please, father, I was wrong. Leave quickly. I really don't want to hurt you."
Xing Child raised her eyes again, and her red eyes were full of pleading, "Those devils, they are too powerful, no matter who they are - they can't defeat them, and I can't do it either!"
The group looked at Xing Hai's condition and knew that something might be wrong.
But last night, the Sri people had not even stepped into the city, and this happened? !
And the Leprosy King also did not try to move forward.
But from the blue veins that burst out from his hand holding the sword, it can be seen that the king's mood will definitely not be calm at this time.
"Child, it's been a long time since you heard me call me father."
The leprosy king's voice was a little dull under the mask, "But if I called my father in such a situation-I would rather not hear it.
I would rather you still call yourself the king, still sit on the throne, let me leave, and still say to me loudly, you are the child of the stars, you can protect and control everything. ”
Xing Hai opened his mouth after hearing this, but in the end, he only spoke one sentence:
"Sorry, father."
Lake and others behind the Leprosy King heard this and all held their weapons.
If this prince is really controlled by the devil—
Then the worst situation will occur. Before the decisive battle with King Sri, you must first face a "Son of the Stars" who may be stronger.
But then, the leprosy king waved his hand and stopped the intention of several people from taking action.
After hearing Xing Hai's words, the Leprosy King stopped saying anything, but the disappointment was revealed in his eyes. He spoke:
"My queen, no matter what it is, it's time to take away this fire-going shotgun from our children."
After the words came to his voice, behind him, the simple-dressed queen, the astrological witch, stepped out.
She looked at Xinghai, her eyes filled with inexplicable sorrow.
"Sorry, my child, we shouldn't give you the strength too early and let you take responsibility that is not yours."
The next moment, the astrological witch raised her hand and pointed.
The starlight scattered in the entire palace suddenly stopped at this moment. After that, the starlight on Xingke's body began to dissipate. He looked at his hands in disbelief, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not summon a trace of starlight.
After that, the surface of his originally smooth and white skin began to wrinkle and crack quickly.
It seems like he has lost the support of some kind of power and has become a little thin.
After that, the blood in the outer starry sky of the palace finally stopped spreading.
"Sorry, kid."
The astrological witch took back her fingers, and the expression in her eyes seemed a little complicated, with a strong sadness, "If we can survive this time, you can be an ordinary child."
But at this time, the leprosy king stopped his queen and walked out of the palace with the astrological witch.
After a few short seconds, he walked back to the palace, looked at the limp star child on the throne, and said in a deep voice:
"That day, you asked me for this position, and you said that in this world, you are the only one who deserves to sit on the throne.
At that time, I was not angry, but I was very happy that you have such power. If you can protect the people and take them out of the darkness, then you will be the undisputed king. ”
The leprosy king walked forward step by step, stood in front of Xing Child, looking down at the child, "I have recorded all my strategies and thoughts about governing the country and left them to you, but you didn't read even a page.
After the war begins, I will complete the battle formations and policies for you, and you have not tried to understand them.
I'm not surprised, because maybe the things that Fanxing can teach you are far better than me. ”
When the leprosy king said this, he looked down at Xinghai on the throne. At this time, there was no light in Xinghai's eyes, only a kind of pleading and guilt left.
After a long silence, the Leprosy King sighed and pulled out the long sword from his waist.
Seeing this scene, Xing Hai looked frightened, twisted his body, and was about to dodge backwards-
But the Leprosy King did nothing, just turned the sword around and placed the hilt in front of Xing Child:
"Hold it - can't you even hold the sword?!"
"It's...father."
Xing Child's neck shrank and he trembled and took the long sword handed over by the Leprosy King.
"Your mother wants you to be an ordinary person, but when you sit on this throne, you should understand that you have lost that opportunity!"
The leprosy king's words were unrefused, and the uncovered anger made Xinghai's face pale.
"You are not dead yet, you still have limbs, you can still breathe-then you should be like those soldiers, you are the king, and if you accept people's respect, you should take responsibility!"
"Father, I, but I'm scared, please..."
"Are you afraid? Are you afraid to face the Sri people? You want to say that without the stars, you are not even as good as any of those thousands of soldiers?"
"But I really don't dare to face those demons... ghosts."
"You——"
After hearing this, the leprosy king gritted his teeth and spit out a word, and couldn't help but raise one of his hands, but looking at Xing Hai's horrified eyes, he slowly put his hands down.
"Your power is still in your body. Your mother's spells cannot completely seal you and regain your power. As the king, let us win this battle."
"Or, pick up the sword and die here like an ordinary Xingluo City soldier."
As he spoke, the leprosy king returned to his calmness. He took off the crown symbolizing royal power from the top of Xingchi's head, threw it on the ground, and turned around and walked off the throne. "The star barrier is about to fail. After the starry sky disappears - the soldiers all need some encouragement. I will lead them or die with them."
After saying that, the Leprosy King left the palace without looking back.
Lake and others who followed him noticed that the leprosy king's eyes also became a little red and swollen.
The team became a little silent. After all, no one expected that the Son of Stars, who was placed with the greatest hope, lost all his strength on the eve of this last battle, and even opened the door to invasion for the Sri people!
"I know, you are very strong. You should be able to escape while the city is not broken yet, right?"
The Leprosy King looked at Lake and others and spoke.
From the eyes of the leprosy king, Poluo noticed the shadow - it was a gradually enriched desire to die.
"But the arrangements you made for the final battle require our help. We will stay here. King Sri must be killed in this city..."
"But now, most of the plans have failed with the stars moving away."
The Leprosy King looked up at the alienated star barrier not far away, "Without the help of the stars, our star falls into the city, which is no different from the hundreds of cities destroyed by the Sri Kingdom.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
And the only plan, the chance of success, is very small. ”
The Leprosy King sighed, and several generals of Xingluocheng with a bitter eyes came from the other side of the street. The Leprosy King inserted the second sword back into the scabbard and tightened the armor on his body, "I am not a good father, I only know how to be a king.
My child, he did let Xingluo City, which should have been destroyed, persisted for a long time under the military front of the Sri Kingdom. Perhaps, he was not as bad as I said - but he should have paid the price to become king.
There is only one turnaround, but I have no time anymore. ”
Looking at the Leprosy King riding on the war horse and preparing to go to the front line, Polu and others understood what the "turnaround" that the Leprosy King said was.
That is to regain the power of the stars—but that's hard.
During the time when Xingdao City was falling, Lake also tried to control the ubiquitous starlight in this city, but the size she could control was far smaller than that of Star Child.
Can enhance your own battle.
But controlling the star barrier and resurrecting the dead in battle... can't do it.
"Unless, let the son of Star come forward?"
Poluo and Lek thought, but they both looked at each other without saying a word. They didn't know what affected Xingke, and even if they could find a way, it would take a long time. Xingluocheng had no time anymore.
"I'll try it."
At this moment, Oz, who was beside the few people, suddenly took a deep breath, and then walked straight into the palace where Xingke was and closed the palace gate.
Then the faint starlight in the sky, he walked towards the star boy on the throne.
Xing Child was still lowering her head and looking at the "long sword" given by her father in her hand.
"Are you still thinking about what your father said?"
"You are... the special envoy appointed by your father?"
Star Child looked at Oz and asked tentatively.
After losing his power, he was able to look at these "ordinary people" whom he didn't care about normally. For some reason, in the "special envoy" in front of him, Xing Chi felt a sense of oppression with might.
It's like facing another king.
"You destroy the barrier and open the door for the devil because those devils torture and force you with some means, right?"
Oz did not answer, but narrowed his eyes and asked another sentence, "If you can't say it, you can nod."
After that, Xing Child nodded faintly.
"Those devils may use some means to force you to do this - but do you know that when you gave up Xingluo City, the defenders were still shouting your name, suppressing pain, and rushing towards those sharp knives?"
"I...I'm sorry."
Star boy looked away and dared not look at Oz.
But Oz still keenly discovered Star Child's fear of the sword blade from Star Child's expression - this is unreasonable, because Star Child's power has never been and should not be hurt by the sword.
"It hurts a sword into the flesh, right?"
Hearing this sentence, Xing Child's body shivered like a conditioned reflex. Seeing this scene, Oz's expression darkened and continued:
"Do you know that although the soldiers of Xingluo City will not die, they have experienced the feeling of being penetrated by sharp blades countless times, but they are still advancing towards the sharp knife?"
"I, I...I'm sorry for them."
After hearing this, tears burst out from his eyes again. He looked at the sword in his hand and said tremblingly, "But I, I really can't do it."
"It's okay, you can try to escape, just like your mother said."
Oz said calmly, but then, it became as quiet as a ghost, "But now, Xingluo City has been surrounded by the devil, they will catch you and torture you-in reality."
Oz's voice seemed slow and calm, but every word that followed made Xing Chi's body tremble:
"They will stab your fingers with red-burned iron nails, they will use a knife to remove your flesh bit by bit, and they will let you watch your internal organs be dug out-
And at this time, you will not die, you should also know that the "holy water" of those Sri people are right?
You are the king, you can't escape the torture of the devil! ”
Hearing this, Xing Hai's tears burst out again and he kept begging:
"No, no, I, but I can't be enemies with them anymore."
"Then hand over your strength and give it to us, and we will guard the planet and fall into the city for you."
Oz said.
"But that way, I will..."
Xing Child opened her mouth. Although there was no second half, Oz made some judgment through Xing Child's expression and his understanding of these powers, "You will die, right?"
Xing Hai did not refute, lowered his head and did not comment.
"What's so scary about death? In Xingluo City, so many soldiers are determined to die. Haven't you seen it?"
Oz said calmly, and he slowly walked forward, stood in front of Xinghai, leaned down, raised his hand, placed it on Xinghai's head, and gently stroked it, "You are the son of Xingchen, the born king, the king who is superior to the earth--
For such you, ordinary people are not afraid of death, so why are you afraid of? ”
"But I..."
"Didn't you have a moment when you think about living, it's better to die?"
Oz asked again, locking his eyes, star boy's eyes.
"I——"
In this sentence, a hint of panic flashed across Xinghai's face again. He thought of the extremely painful illusion - no matter how he begged, he could only hear the dull sound of the blade entering his body under the sound of the clock.
Oz seemed to have not noticed Xingke's panic, and his eyes showed sincerity and said again:
"Give us your strength, we will help you, save all this, and kill those devils and avenge you!
And after success, I will tell the soldiers of Xingluo City that they are the sons of Xingchen - that is, you, who sacrificed yourself and saved all this.
They will not know your fear, betrayal, cowardice, they will always praise you, and in the future, you will always be the supreme king in their hearts.
Your Highness, what do you think of my proposal? ”
Hearing these words, a little light shone again in Xingke's empty eyes:
"What you said...is it true?"
"Of course, you only need to choose courage to become the eternal king, perfect."
Oz's words entered Star Child's ears.
Xing Child took a deep breath, looked up, looked at the stars in the sky, and slowly looked around. Finally, he looked at the clock in the corner of the palace.
In my ears, the sound of the bell ringing in the middle of the night was heard.
"Thank you, sir."
Xing Child whispered, lifting up the sword he gave to him, but the sword tip pointed at his chest with one end, and his trembling hands gradually stabilized. "Perhaps, the girl with a red cloak I saw before was more suitable for getting the gift from Xingchen than me."
"Maybe I am not a king, but just a coward. My courage can only support me in doing and doing such a thing--"
Speaking of this, his tears surged out again.
The long sword in his hand also penetrated his chest hard, and blood poured out like a fountain in Xingchi's chest.
And there was another layer of star-like light spots in those blood, peeling off from the blood.
The already cracked face of Star Child lost its last blood color and quickly turned gray-
With the last strength, he raised his other hand and triggered the starlight that surged from his chest, spiraled, wrapped, condensed together, forming a tiny transparent blue crystal, which seemed to contain flowing stars.
Finally, he placed the crystal in Oz's hand, and his voice became as thin as a mosquito and flies:
"Help me and say... sorry to my parents."
After that, Xing Hai's hand drooped and no longer sounded.
