Chapter 501 Rebirth From the Ashes: Constantines
The spear whizzed down and pierced Vito's hood. If he hadn't dodged in time, he would have been pierced through the back of his head by the spear. The giant holding the spear stomped on the ground, crushing the ground beside the pool, and splashing water under his feet.
Vito quickly dodged to the side, and his hood was torn in the process. The sharp spear left a thin line of blood on his forehead.
He jumped back and fell to the ground, and the man holding the spear quickly attacked, holding the golden spear head and firing a fatal shot. Vito quickly dodged to the side, and the spear pierced through his chest. The huge impact made Vito almost unable to open his eyes.
He took a big step back and held the Phoenix Sword under the robe behind his waist with his backhand, but when he saw his face clearly, Vito's fingers holding the sword subtly adjusted the position.
Vito drew out the Phoenix Sword with his backhand, swung it in front of him and hit the spear that was coming at him. Sparks instantly flew between the two weapons, the iron clashed, and the steel trembled and tore the ground apart.
His other hand sent out a shock wave, which hit the golden armor and made him retreat, but he stopped instantly with his spear standing on the ground.
A long crack was left on the ground between the two of them. He held the spear and looked at it, then suddenly pulled it out of the ground, spun it around and placed it in his palm.
"Hold your weapon tightly, Vito Constantine, I will not show mercy." He said harshly, coldly and without any mercy. Vito looked at him, but did not attack.
"Waldo, I'm not here to fight you. We are brothers."
The words seemed to sting Waldo. The golden giant rushed forward with his eyes wide open. The spear of dawn in his hand stabbed out, and the tip of the spear hit the Phoenix Sword. A large piece of sparks splashed on Vito's face. The cold and cold flame illuminated his eyes and also illuminated Waldo in front of him.
He turned sideways and hit Vito's side abdomen with the tip of the spear, knocking him out. Vito hit a stone pillar and felt a sharp pain in his ribs.
"Hold your weapon tightly! Use your strength! Because I will not show mercy, you and I are no longer brothers!" Waldo roared, but he did not attack immediately. Instead, he waited for Vito to gasp and returned to the broken rock ground.
He was still the same as in his impression. He would never attack someone who had no ability to fight back. He waited until Vito stood up again before attacking again. The speed was as fast as golden lightning. The spear of dawn broke through the air and collided with the Phoenix Sword.
The sound of metal clashing echoed between the ancient walls and colonnades, and the pool water under his feet also rippled due to the impact of the collision of swords and swords. Vito was knocked into the pool and waded back in the black water, while Valdo jumped into the pool together, launching a rapid attack with the spear in his hand.
Some people once said that the Imperial Guards were the most powerful warriors in the universe. No one could defeat them in close combat, even the powerful demons under Khorne were no exception. Valdo was their leader and the former commander of the Imperial Guards.
His attack was strong and deadly, and Vito had no choice but to parry, but he did not use his powerful psychic power, but was always on unilateral defense.
Valdo seized the opportunity, jumped back, and the spear lifted the black pool water in front of him and sprinkled it on Vito. At the moment when the latter retreated, Valdo launched an offensive, stabbing the spear out of the water, and a shot cut a bloody gash on Vito's face.
He turned the spear and knocked Vito out of the water. He hit a big tree on the shore and then fell heavily to the ground.
"Fight me seriously! Vito, I said I won't show mercy!" Waldo said as he stepped on the water, and Vito stood up with his sword. He leaned on the hilt and looked at Waldo who came out of the water.
"What makes you so angry? Brother, I'm here to talk, not to fight to the death." Vito said, raising his hand to block the spear that Waldo stabbed with a sword. The tip of the spear rushed over his forehead and sparks fell on his face.
Waldo held the gun with both hands and pressed Vito down. He kicked him hard and kicked Vito out. He flew out and hit the ground heavily, while Waldo drew his spear and glared at him.
"You ask me why? You know why! You knew that the Emperor's Primarch Plan had fatal flaws. You knew it, you knew it clearly, but you still chose to remain silent and helped him force her to give birth to her children and then take them away!"
Valdo roared, like a roaring lion on his shoulder. Vito looked at him and stood up with his sword. He thought Valdo would scold him for what he and the Inquisition had done, and everything in the Empire over the years, but he never thought that he would mention her.
"No, Valdo, I don't know. I only found out after Doctor Astarte told me."
"No! You know it all!" Valdo roared, his eyes flashing with anger, "Don't try to deceive me, I know you were there in Moro when he first went to Moro! Vito Constantine, you helped him steal power from Chaos, and maybe there was a part of you in it."
"You killed all the other Eternals to keep the secret, I know! Vito! Don't try to deceive me!"
Valdo roared and rushed up, pouncing like a lion, raising the spear in his hand high and slashing it down. Vito blocked that blow but his arm hurt.
"You know that the Primarchs are destined to be unable to get rid of the madness of the Thunder Warriors. She begged you not to join that power, but you helped him force her! Added that crazy blood to it!"
"No! Waldo, I objected, I tried to dissuade him, I told him that the Thunder Warriors had been a lesson, and he tried to persuade him!"
"No! You didn't!" Waldo glared, "You are with him. You already know what kind of person he is, but you still choose to side with him! You even deceived me!"
Waldo fired another shot, and the tip of the gun hit Vito's sword, making him take a few steps back before barely stopping. Waldo's eyes flashed with anger, and the tip of the gun stood cold.
"You told me that the genetic laboratory was for her safety. He asked you to come to me and build it together. I built the high wall with my own hands, but I was deceived by you. I didn't know it was a prison built for her!"
He rushed forward again, and fired out his spear. Cold light flashed, and the roar of fine iron brought a stinging and numb feeling. He pressed the tip of the spear and pressed towards Vito, "You and him lock her in In the Himalayas, because she knew your plan, you imprisoned her just to give birth to those twenty-one children, what you called weapons!"
"I never looked at them that way, Waldo, you know."
"Then you should stop him!" Waldo roared, swinging the tip of the spear, flying the Phoenix Sword and stabbing the spear with his backhand. This time Vito was forced to use his psychic powers, and he summoned his stance to take the stabbing blow. The tip of the spear was knocked away by Waldo's subsequent punches.
"That day, when she opened the rift to send them away, I saw his eyes, cold and ruthless, all his attention was on the other side of the rift, annoyed that his twenty-one weapons were taken away, and To her, that look was like looking at a tool that was incompetent and destined to be abandoned!"
Waldo turned the spear sharply, and the tip of the spear wiped dazzling sparks on the ground. He glared at Vito, furious, "He asked you to kill her, get rid of her, and everyone in the Himalayas Laboratory, you You did, didn’t you?”
"You killed her! You killed everyone present that day, except me. No, I doubt he also thought about getting rid of me, right? I sent you here to attack me from behind!"
"I used to trust you so much! When you asked me to get rid of the Thunder Warriors on Mount Altus, I didn't hesitate at all. I believed in you! I regarded you as my biological brother, but you deceived me, as his Executioner, holding the knife behind me!"
Waldo roared angrily, his voice causing ripples in the surrounding water and shaking leaves from the treetops. Vito looked at his angry face and felt extremely ashamed, and even more painful.
He wanted to tell him that she did not die that day, and that the Emperor did let him kill her, but he did not. After getting rid of everyone in the genetic laboratory, Vito let her go and arranged for her to go to Africa to live in seclusion. He also hid this from the Emperor.
He had carefully kept this secret, and even the Emperor had never known it. He thought he had completed his mission, but in order to protect her, Vito even had to hide Waldo.
He didn't know why he did this at the time. His lover, Dr. Astarte, died. He was in great pain at the time, but in the end he chose to let her go and let her leave with those secrets.
He didn't know why, maybe because of shame, maybe because of regret, just like he felt towards Waldo now.
He knew that his brother would hate him, but he still chose to hide it and bury the secret deep in his heart. He could have told him now, but he couldn't.
He didn't protect her well. When Erebus found her, he didn't protect her there. When he found her, it was too late.
Thinking of this, the flames of that day seemed to reappear in front of him. He looked at Waldo in his eyes, as if he saw her face. For a moment, Vito's heart twisted. He wanted to tell Waldo, but he finally chose Bury that pain to yourself again.
For him, maybe it would be better if Erda died by his own hands. At least he knew that he would not cause her any pain, instead of Erebus strangling her to death and suffocating to death with a little pain. .
He saw Waldo rushing towards him. He hated himself, his eyes were full of hatred for the emperor. He was once his best brother, his true brother, but now, the brothers are at war with each other.
For a moment, Vito felt extremely tired. He raised his head and let out a long sigh. He did not block or dodge, but closed his eyes and waited for the spear to fall. He was tired, so maybe let it all end.
But in the end, there was only a strong wind blowing on his face in the darkness. After a moment of hesitation, Vito opened his eyes. He looked at the spear parked in front of him, which was less than half a mile away from his face. inch.
"Damn Vito, tell me, why did you do that? You know what kind of person he is, why did you help him?"
"I once saw Horus's chess table when he started the heresy. All the chess pieces on it were swept under the table and fell below. Everyone, including me and you, I still remember the day he will There was no mercy and no hesitation the moment we got off the table.”
Vito did not speak. He looked at Waldo silently. His brother then lowered his head, with complex emotions hidden in his eyes, tangled and extremely painful.
"Vito, join me and take revenge on him. He must be stopped. You know what kind of person he is." Waldo begged, but Vito was silent.
"Tell me his true name, and you and I join hands, before it's too late, before the Golden Throne sends him to the highest heaven, before it's too late."
Waldo looked at the silent Vito. He let out a long sigh, then stood up with his gun. The gun moved away from Vito's face. The tall golden giant stood in front of him, overlooking him sadly. eyes.
"You didn't come here to join me, right? You didn't come to ask for a break," Waldo said, "Tell me, why are you here? Why do you want to see me?"
He calmed down, his anger seemed to suddenly disappear, and there was only sadness in his tone. He was missing her.
Vito was silent for a long time. He lowered his eyes and then spoke slowly, "I need your found soul container. The child needs him. Sanguinius, I want to save him."
"That container, it took me thousands of years to piece it together, and I paid a price you can't imagine. It was originally used to imprison the emperor's soul. I will bind him to the throne forever, burn the star torch, and suppress Webway and pay the price for what he did."
Waldo said, "This way our compatriots will not die, and you, me, and her children can truly fulfill our mission according to her long-standing wish, not his, who is so paranoid that he is crazy dream."
"Tell me, Vito, why should I hand over the container to you? Give you the only weapon that can fight him?" Waldo asked.
"Why did you do this? To save the angel, even if you knew that you might be forced to kill him one day, before the subspace power in their body swallowed him, just like before he became Fulgrim and the others?"
"I'm just paying off the debt. Before she took her last breath, she asked me to protect her children. I promised her that I owed her." Vito responded with this sentence.
Waldo looked at him silently, his pupils trembling slightly. After a moment, Waldo turned his back to Vito. He looked at the ancient tree with fallen leaves. The fallen leaves fell on the dark water, glowing There were ripples in circles.
He was silent for a long time, but finally spoke and walked away at the same time, "The container is buried under the gate on the mountainside."
"Waldo." Vito stopped him, "She will be proud of you."
Waldo turned his back to him and was silent for a moment. "Will we meet again at the end?" he asked.
Vito smiled, feeling a little relieved, "Yes, but a happy ending is not suitable for me. In my life, I have done more wrong things than right things. Those are all debts, and I will pay them back." Clear, no one left behind.”
Vito turned and left. He walked towards the half-opened door. Waldo turned sideways and looked at his retreating back. He sighed and smiled, "You have paid off a debt. I Brothers."

Sarah moved the stone and fixed the stone pier under the fence gate. She stood up and looked tiredly but happily at the renovated gate in front of her.
Her skirt was stained, several buttons of her socks were torn, and her boots were ruined, but Sarah was not as annoyed as she expected. Instead, she felt a little proud, "This is the first time I have repaired something, and I have to repair it." Fortunately, this feeling of joy is pretty good, more pleasant than any other exciting feeling.”
"This is the joy of labor. You should try it more." Pedronela said, then turned around and saw Vito walking down, "Have you seen him?"
"Yes." Vito said and raised his finger to point at the low wall. The wall collapsed instantly. It collapsed on the mountain road with a crash. The rubble rolled down the slope. Sarah watched as she finally finished. His eyes widened when his results were pushed over, and then he yelled at him angrily.
"Hey! That took me a good hour to fix!"
She looked at Vito, and he came to the remains of the low wall, squatted down, reached out and moved a few stones, and took out a wrapped thing from underneath. He stood up with the thing, Sarah Looking at the thing curiously, I felt the magic in it.
"Let's say goodbye, he is still up there, go find him." Vito said to Petronila, and then walked down the mountain path without looking back. Sarah shrugged at Petronila, and then crossed The pile of rocks followed.
Pedronela stood behind the door and looked at his back, watching Sarah move closer to him and holding her hands behind her back, "Where should we go next?"
"Go find another debtor."
