684 Leoric's Resistance and Lasma's Compromise
"Leoric, I know fate is unfair to you.
But fate treats everyone equally."
Lasma seemed to be speaking for his father.
Although Inarius had been worn by Lasma when Leoric became the Skeleton King.
"Unfair to everyone equally?
It sounds like it's fair."
Imprius said casually, it would be better if he didn't use his own strength to nail Leoric directly to the ground.
Imprius has already used force, which will naturally excite Leoric!
"What exactly do you want to do?
Are you turning me into a mascot and putting me here regardless of my will?
Yes, I don't have enough power to oppose you.
But don't forget, I have the power of Shadow Fang in my body!
Although Canduras was not born because of me, I can let it die for me!"
Leoric's rage was not unexpected.
It seems that when Lasma and Imprus appeared together, they had reached a cooperation.
And Leoric seemed to be the sacrifice?
Although all this happened very suddenly, it did not prevent Leoric from thinking.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm not restricting you.
After all, we are on the same side as Bul-Kathos.
He wants to save the world that once was, and I want to do the same.
So I won't fight him head-on."
Lasma said with a relaxed look on his face. If he hadn't done those infuriating things, Leoric might have considered his statement.
Although Lasma's credibility is in a somewhat dangerous range, it is still acceptable.
This guy's words are worth listening to, but no negotiation should happen after the battle!
Negotiations after the battle are just a threat or compromise consultation.
The same thing will bring completely different feelings as long as it happens in a different order!
Leoric felt very unhappy, and even had the intention of self-destructing and turning into a skeleton king at that time.
The tough Leoric is not so strong that he can ignore the enemy, he just has to be so tough.
There is one thing that is tacitly accepted in Sanctuary, that is, there has never been a king who is willing to die.
In a world facing endless threats, human kings are all hard-headed without exception!
After all, there is no use in compromising when facing demons.
Do we have to let those kings organize their people to willingly become food for demons?
The answer is never!
Even the most arrogant and ignorant kings are hard-headed and will personally step into the battlefield!
Whether it is a prosperous kingdom or a kingdom on the verge of destruction, their kings have never given up the struggle!
This is a battle for human survival!
Humans don't have much room to compromise with demons!
"You said you won't fight head-on? In other words, you plan to fight him behind the scenes?
You said that you and Bul-Kathos are on the same side?
How can you guarantee that this consistency will continue?
Lasma, I'm not a child you can fool.
I'm not your priest.
I know that being your priest must be different from being other professions.
But it's just that no one has investigated it in the past!
You are a hero, but you have never been the kind of upright one!"
Leoric said this in a roar.
He was questioning the existence of the priest of Lasma.
As he was shouting, bone spurs began to appear on the ground!
Leoric knew very well that the bones he summoned would become the power of Lasma, but he still did it.
Because he was ready to become the Skeleton King again.
Such battle preparations would not only enhance the power of Lasma, but also give himself a battlefield!
Leoric thought that he still had a chance to win at this time!
After all, neither Imprus nor Lasma seemed to really want to fight to the death.
"Hiss~ Seriously.
Leoric, you are one of the few outstanding people I have seen.
If you don't trust Lasma, you have to trust me, right?"
Imprus slowly stood up.
He spread his hands to show his harmlessness.
"I trust you, of course!
Who wouldn't trust the power of courage?
Courage is so beautiful and warm.
But courage can also burn a person to pieces at any time!
Imprius, if you don't have any excessive thoughts, why don't you let go of my restraints!
What you are doing at this moment is to show that your position is not as solid as you say!"
Leoric was a little calmer when facing Imprius.
He was not familiar with this guy Lasma, but Leoric knew something about Imprius.
It's just that his vigilance against angels has never weakened.
Who were the gods worshipped in the cathedrals? Aren't they those high and mighty archangels?
When Leoric was bewitched by Diablo, he went to those cathedrals a lot.
But how did the high heaven treat Leoric?
They chose to turn a blind eye!
Leoric knew very well what he was facing at the time!
He even sought protection from the angels more than once!
But in the end, he was the only one sitting alone on his throne, thinking about how to resist Diavolo's conspiracy.
Even if a young and powerful king is mentally confused, it cannot be killed by just a few ministers and a group of farmers!
Leoric is a worthy hero!
He is also a strong man who makes his existence a legend!
However, after the guys who killed him were only left with a projection that kept going back, he still existed as the Skeletor King!
How could such a guy unreservedly trust those bastards who once turned a blind eye to him! ?
Leoric only had limited trust in Impris!
“Leorric, this is a deal!
I will bring you what you want.
But during this time I need you to live in a cage!
I know this is an insult to you, but I can't find a better way!
You should be able to feel it, right? Hope never disappears around you!
We won't let you go through the same suffering. "
Because Prius was still persuading Leoric, it could be seen that he was not very willing to fight Leoric...
As for Harley Quinn, who had just entered the room, she was ignored.
She was just a tiny mortal, a madman sadly abandoned by another madman.
Madness is a terrible habit that will last a lifetime once it is acquired.
But she's not strong enough!
So much so that he is now being ignored by several people present!
"You need the power of Khanduras.
But you don’t understand what a country is!
So you need me to lay such a foundation for you?
I just have one question now! That's whether Bulkesso knows about your conspiracy! ? "
Leoric's hand was already on the hilt of the sword at his waist!
Neither Imprius nor Rasma knew what he planned to do.
But one thing is very clear, this answer will determine Leoric's approach!
Leoric valued his kingdom even more than his own life!
He is a very responsible king.
"He didn't know anything about it.
Just like Uldyssian back then. "
Because Prius slowly said something meaningful enough.
Perhaps Uldyssian made a plan to start over again in order to free himself from some constraints?
"You are so arrogant!
But I forgot that I am not the pawn that you played with back then!
You may have been secretly observing Bulkesso's changes, so that you think you know what he is thinking.
But what I want to say is, you are still the archangel!
And you! Just a natural weakling! "
Leoric pointed at Imprius and Rathma with his free hand.
Leoric was full of disdain for these two guys!
Leoric appreciates those fighters who never compromise!
I like a life that is so hot that I can hardly rest!
He had passionately pursued everything that could become light and heat, but he didn't realize it until he lost it.
Isn't that what he's after, that living, beating heart?
"How can the nobility of human beings be something that you can grasp!
How can human free will become a plaything to be watched in a cage?
Where is the oppression! where! Resistance will inevitably arise!
And I was never the first!
bring it on! Ashira! I made my choice!
I will send my kingdom into the kingdom of death!
I will always be by your side from now on!
I'm no longer confused! These guys never gave me a chance to be confused!
But I have to say it! I will never turn my back on Bulkesso at any time! "
Leoric's voice was full of contempt!
He stared hard at Rathma and Impris in front of him!
There is only one thing Leoric cannot tolerate, and that is deception and betrayal!
Unfortunately, in his not-so-long life, there was only one person who had not deceived or betrayed him in any way.
That person is Bulkesso!
That's a man who is so arrogant that he doesn't even bother to lie!
That is a strong man who is so violent that he wants to kill people without even bothering to give a reason!
Only Bulcasso can gain Leoric's full trust!
Because Bulkesso has never betrayed any trust!
"I thought you would last longer, dear Leoric."
A voice full of love sounded slowly.
A cloaked skeleton stood quietly aside.
No one knows when she got there.
But one thing is beyond doubt!
This figure has the power to fight Imprius in his body!
Two parts of death itself!
The only one in life!
A god full of love, a being who is not good at fighting but knows the boundaries between life and death!
It is also for all life! Nemesis!
“Asila, Asila!
After much thought, I still can't make a final decision!
I know you love me!
My heart that stopped beating long ago tells me it trembles for you.
But you are the Ashira, but not the Ashira who only belonged to me in the past!
I am willing to always be by your side, you have to thank them! "
Leoric waved his hand and passed Rathma and Impris!
"They forced me to make this choice!"
Leoric's anger was beyond words!
"Lady Death, I really want to say I'm glad to see you.
But I can't say it."
Inprius's spear appeared in his hand!
The light on Solarion began to be unsealed little by little!
The bursting light and heat are slowly descending!
"Then there's no need to force a greeting.
The gap between you and me has never been that big.
But have you and Mr. Lasma beside you ever thought about how to face death?"
Death didn't seem angry at all.
She didn't say anything nonsense like "Are you afraid of death?"
Courage itself is in front of her, how could she be afraid?
"Don't you have any understanding of humans after you turned into a human?
Or have you not learned how to get along with humans after countless years of observing humans?
Mr. Courage, I can't erase your essence.
But you will no longer be a living person after the battle.
This is the same for Mr. Lasma over there."
Death was unexpectedly calm.
Leoric's rage also disappeared directly.
He has made his choice, and all this has become a foregone conclusion that cannot be changed!
Khanduras is still Leoric's kingdom, but the address will be divided into the kingdom of the dead!
The kingdom of the church that believes in the archangel will be wrapped in the kingdom of death!
"You can't defeat both of us."
Lasma pulled out a huge sickle from his side.
This sickle in Lasma's hand doesn't look like a farm tool for harvesting wheat.
But there is no ferocity on the sickle.
"But I am not alone."
Death's voice fell slowly.
A whole blue light lit up like the fire of an explosion!
He was wearing a hooded gown, but the hood did not cover his face.
The blue figure with a strange symbol appeared beside Death.
The balanced light wings were flowing slowly behind him like a stream!
"Israel lost after all, but Tyrael's energy surprised me a little.
Of course, things that are not yours will be taken away by others. This is simply the truth."
Inprius's face showed a trace of anger.
"But this does not mean that any existence other than angels is qualified to join this competition!
You, everything you took from the high-level heaven will be taken back by me!"
The Solarion in Prius's hand was directly aimed at the tip of Dr. Manhattan's nose!
The high temperature had no effect on Dr. Manhattan!
When the Quantum Observer and the Archangel of Balance were combined, the power Dr. Manhattan could use had already surpassed them in the past!
Besides, the energy in this body was taken from the once most powerful Archangel Tyrael!
"It's two to two now.
Especially Mr. Lasma, a large part of your power comes from Isreal's modification of the balance between life and death.
When you face an Archangel of Balance again, are you a little panicked in your heart?"
The voice of death was very gentle.
But the meaning was cruel enough.
"I have already mastered everything in my body.
Even if Ithriel, who helped me, stands in front of me again, I am not afraid.
Although I have not yet stolen the power of balance, it is not difficult to pry it open."
Lasma did not show any fear. He just smiled quietly at the two beings in front of him.
The sickle in his hand slowly crossed the ground, leaving a semicircle.
"I can do a lot of things to achieve my goals.
I don't care about anything, because as long as I still exist in this world, I will be protected.
Or do you plan to face a three-to-two disadvantage?
This is the body of Eternity!
And I don't worry or care about the outcome at all."
Death said calmly.
She did not lie.
If she wins the battle, she will get the lives of the two "people" Lasma and Imprus.
She may also get two powerful powers.
Even if she can't use it, it is also a good idea to give it to Leoric and let him give it to Bul-Kathos.
Death and Bul-Kathos are not a life-and-death feud.
If they lose?
Then Eternity will definitely suffer a heavy blow!
And Imprus and Lasma will not have an easy time either!
In order to restore herself, the world will also suffer a catastrophe.
And destroying the world she lives in is Death's long-cherished wish!
Death has basically no idea about this!
One of the two parties has to do something mediocre to save a world.
The other party provides help to the weak in order to destroy the world.
This weird sense of dislocation is crazy enough in this place!
"No room for retreat?"
Imprus's face became a little ugly.
He has already felt that Leoric is releasing the power of Shadow Fang in his body little by little.
When Shadow Fang takes root in this soil, the birth of demons will be accelerated!
The demons born from humans now cannot reach their peak.
That's because they are born without the blessing of Burning Hell.
Although it is cumbersome to deal with those demons now, it is not to the point where it cannot be changed.
But soon all this will change!
"How did you ever leave any room for me?
Don't say that the cage you prepared for me is just room. If I say that I want to lock you in a cesspool, you only need to go in and take me there for a few days and I will let you go.
And if you can't refuse, do you think this is a leeway?
Because of the Prius! Arrogant and stubborn archangel! An archangel who is so arrogant that he only fears power!
The foolish courage to burn oneself with blazing heat without realizing it! "
Leoric's voice became stronger every time!
His anger grew higher and higher!
Speaking of hard bones, how many people's bones are harder than the skeleton king's bones?
“Courage never gives in.”
"But Rathma does! Because he is a necromancer who became strong through learning.
He is a born weak and is used to being protected!
At first, it was the protection of my brothers and sisters, and later it was the protection of my teachers.
Now it's my father's protection.
When was Rasma not well protected?
Look at the strong aura of destiny on his body.
Isn't this evidence that Inaris protects him?
Is this what the legend of Inarius's Grace means?
By the way, there is also his teacher Tageo.
The first person in the world to understand balance!
Now the balance is here! Right on that blue guy!
Why don't you put on your teacher!
The name of that suit is Tageo's Incarnation, right?
Rasma! When you become Tageo, will you be able to understand Israel's actions? "
Leoric spoke somewhat unabashedly.
These may be considered secrets, but for a kingdom that has existed for who knows how many years, these are not that difficult to find.
Especially since the guy who compiled these stories and legends was Leoric, the truth of all this is already close at hand.
Rathma looked at Leoric expressionlessly.
There didn't seem to be any emotional fluctuations caused by Leoric's words.
But pieces of equipment are appearing on his body!
That's a whole set of scarlet's most original legends!
A suit formed from the remains of the Legend Shaper himself!
That's Tagio incarnate!
Tageo! Guardian of Sanctuary!
He is Rasma’s mentor! He is also the first "person" to understand balance.
The name Necromancer itself comes from this powerful man!
Not Rasma!
The priests of Rathma are just the Necromancer profession transformed in the way Rathma wants!
A true necromancer not only maintains world peace!
They are a group of people who follow eternity!
The reason why those who follow eternity pursue that kind of eternity that is neither life nor death is just to be able to unswervingly guard the world that is already on the verge of being broken.
Rasma’s will is not innate!
He inherited his teacher's will and accepted his father's mission!
He is Rasma!
The only one among the Nephalem who inherits power and ideas!
Born weak! The sheltered one!
"I...can give in.
But I won’t give in when I have nothing to gain!
I need this land, and those who are not your subjects!
The world needs a fortress! Priests of Rathma are needed! "
Rasma made a deal!
Putting forward conditions is the beginning of concessions!
Inprius closed his eyes and slowly took back Solarion in his hand!
He was a little angry and a little helpless.
But he has no position to accuse Rasma of backing down!
Rasma knows how to weigh the pros and cons, which is good and bad.
"Rasma, I will only help you this once."
In Prius said a little feebly.
He was reminding Rasma that there was only one chance to get him to join the fight.
"I know, but I will protect everything in this world.
As long as your name is in the world, I will help you once, twice or countless times.
How do you think I became the only one of my siblings who never died, other than me giving in? "
Rasma's words made Imprius speechless.
Because Prius knew Rasma wasn't telling any lies.
Rasma will do anything to protect her world.
If being drowned in a cesspit can make this world exist forever, there will be no danger.
The only person who drowns him will be himself.
"I guess it's your pale, lifeless face."
The Prius casually gave an answer that was obviously incorrect.
Rasma wasn't angry, just smiling.
The sickle in his hand scratched the ground again.
There was a strange-looking mark on the ground.
It intersected with the previous scratches and turned into a pattern.
