Chapter 700: No One Can Represent Justice (3/3)
In the past, Esdeath served as a general for many years in the Millennium Empire of the Red World, commanded hundreds of thousands of armies, fought in both the south and the north, and experienced various wars.
In addition, after becoming a ghost, she awakened her leadership skills. Her talents in arranging troops and governing the country were beyond the reach of even Liu Xia. Her top-notch military strategy and governance skills were no less impressive.
She said that the king used all the money collected from taxes to prepare the army, and that was 80% correct.
However, Kawasumi cooperated with the rebels and killed the king without any reason. At the same time, he also weakened the effective strength of the country's army. The already poor country may become even weaker.
And all of this was the result of Kawasumi's self-righteous belief that the king was a foolish king and an evil person.
"It can't be...it shouldn't be like this..."
Kawasumi opened his mouth in astonishment, with an unexpected look on his face, and kept mumbling to himself, "I should be righteous. What I do cannot be wrong. I am a brave man... Is justice wrong? Of?"
"Justice is probably right."
Liu Xia raised the long bow that turned into a falcon in her hand and pointed it at the back of Kawasumi Tree at her feet, causing a red energy arrow to condense on the bow body.
"But you are not righteous, and you cannot represent justice."
After saying these words, Liu Xia gently loosened the bow string.
"Bah!"
The red energy arrow came out of the string, transformed into a falcon-like shape, and shot out amid a burst of whistling sound.
And this red energy falcon shot into Kawasumi's heart in just an instant, opening a bloody hole in his back.
"Well--!"
Kawasumi's eyes widened for a moment, and he seemed to want to raise his head, but from his angle, he couldn't see Lucia's cheek at all.
He could only lie there completely after a period of unwilling twitching, his pupils dilated, his body gradually became stiff, and he lost all his voice.
The previous Bow Hero, Itsuki Kawasumi, was casually killed by Ruka.
He didn't reflect on his mistakes until he died.
In deep reluctance, he died at Liu Xia's feet.
In essence, his starting point was actually good. He realized the necessity of justice from the school bullying he experienced, and he has followed justice as his code of conduct since then.
But unfortunately, he was still too naive and childish after all, and his understanding of social forms was too superficial, and he could not distinguish between real justice and evil.
In his small mind, justice meant chivalry.
If this was the case, it would actually be okay. It could only be regarded as a mistake and there would still be a chance to correct it. However, he had an extremely arrogant and vain character.
He seems low-key, but in fact he is eager to be praised and praised by people.
The evidence is that he is dressed very ordinary, but he hangs a very conspicuous luxurious decorative sword on his waist. He obviously wants to be noticed and is eager to be praised.
He seems humble, but in fact he is extremely stubborn and believes that he is righteous.
He believed that his punishment was the punishment brought by justice, and that all evil would disappear under his bow and arrow. He stubbornly believed that he represented justice, and for this reason, he killed the king of this country, who was not actually a bad person.
With this arrogant and vain character, he is bound to do many wrong things, and the possibility of turning back the prodigal son is probably slim.
Of course, with Liu Xia's character, she didn't care whether he would look back or not.
The reason why he was killed was just to prevent future troubles.
With Kawasumi's character, if he was allowed to live, he would definitely not give up and would definitely come to him one after another to cause trouble. Of course, Lucia couldn't let this happen, so she immediately and decisively killed him.
When Liu Xia started to kill Kawasumi Shu, the rebel leaders and onlookers were startled and looked at them in horror.
But because of the strength he showed, no one dared to come forward and accuse him.
"fierce!"
Liu Xia waved his hand, causing a whirlpool of flames to emerge, covering Kawasumi's body and burning it to ashes in just a few seconds.
"Well……?"
But at the moment when he waved his hand to release the flames, Liu Xia suddenly froze, frowned, and glanced at the legendary bow in his hand.
The moment he used flames to attack Kawasumi's body, the legendary bow suddenly released a strong electric shock. The tingling sensation was transmitted to the brain along with the neurons, making him feel that he could hardly hold the weapon in his hand steadily.
The pain itself doesn't matter. The experiments he has done on himself before are much more severe than this. He has done many beheadings and hands. Because he is not afraid, his endurance is very strong and his spirit is stronger than ordinary people. Much tougher.
But what was conveyed from this electric shock was extraordinary news.
"Hey, you guys."
Liu Xia thought for a while and did not deal with the matter immediately. Instead, she turned her head and looked to the side in the direction of several adventurers who were originally affiliated with Kawasumi Shu's team.
These adventurers were also shocked when they saw Kawasumi Shu being killed mercilessly. They originally wanted to leave quietly, but unexpectedly they were immediately stopped by Liu Xia.
"Yes... what are your orders?"
The leader of the group showed a very forced smile on his face and smiled back at Liu Xia.
"You should be able to tell us what happened this time, right?"
Liu Xia asked several people with her usual calm expression.
"No, no, no, no, how could it be!"
The man immediately shook his head like a rattle, looking as if he would not tell anyone even if he was killed.
"Then tell me."
Seeing this, Liu Xia ignored his attitude and continued: "Tell this incident as quickly and as far as possible. It is best to spread it to several surrounding countries in a short time, but don't add fuel to the fire."
"ah?"
The man was dumbfounded and looked confused, but after he came to his senses, he nodded hastily, "No problem, we will spread the word about this matter as soon as possible! We will act according to your orders!"
"That's good."
Lucia nodded, then turned around, "Esdeath, let's go."
The business to be done this time has been completed, so there is no need to stay outside anymore. Go back as soon as possible to explore the functions of the Four Sacred Weapons and the Seven-Star Weapons. It is best to be proficient in them before leaving this world.
Under Liu Xia's control, the flying dragon flapped its wings and fell from the sky, landing in front of the two of them.
Immediately, under the gazes of countless people full of shock, fear and longing, Lucia and Esdeath jumped on the back of the flying dragon and galloped towards the capital of the Melomag Kingdom in the south.
