Lord of Glory - Chapter 120: Broken Arm

“I don’t think you’ll let me go if I tell the truth.” Adele, who had endured some pain of suffocating to death, looked at Paladin with hateful eyes, but her words were filled with realization and fearlessness. Paladin listened to these words and gradually revealed a wry smile. At once, the room took on a strange silence, and it wasn’t until half a second later that Paladin stopped and slowly spoke, “You are an assassin of the H-assassin Alliance. Although I don’t know what you want to kill me for, and you refuse to give an account of your employer. But I am more or less clear.”

Speaking here, Paladin’s eyes narrowed, bent his head down to look Adele dead in the eyes and continued, “How can an assassin, alone, intrude into the duchy’s largest fortress to carry out an assassination? Isn’t that looking for death? But now, your life is within my grasp, and I even almost killed you just now. But your companion had no intention of coming up to rescue you. My guess is that either, you really are an idiot, coming alone to die. Either that, or your fellow assassins have already treated you as an outcast and don’t need to care about your death. Then again, either that, or your fellow assassin is a mage! Hahahahaha, this fortress is guarded by Hellitte’s head in the duchy, no mage would be stupid enough to come in and send himself to his death.”

While saying so, Paladin kept staring at Adele’s eyes. But when it was said that her companion was a mage, it was very obvious, followed by the moonlight outside the window that could clearly see that the pupils in Adele’s eyes, immediately contracted! That’s right, this was a subconscious manifestation of worry! People can lie, but the body doesn’t lie. As expected, this Adele’s companion was really a mage!

“Hahaha, looks like I got it right. Your mage friend should be bitterly waiting outside the fortress. In other words, at this time, I just need to kill you and go tell the head of Hellite about the assassin. I believe that this friend of yours will die nothing but a miserable death!” Being told in a single word, a worried look immediately appeared on Adele’s face. The H-assassin Alliance was right, an assassin who was transitionally immersed in love and lust was no longer a qualified assassin. Although Adele’s hands hadn’t regressed, but in terms of mental quality, she had softened greatly. She was no longer the former cold-blooded and obedient killing tool. What was left now was just an ordinary woman whose stance was comparable to that of an assassin.

“He won’t be caught, when the time passes and he hasn’t seen me come out yet, he will naturally escape!” Adele, who eagerly wanted to return the favor, did not know that this sentence was revealed to Paladin, but it was another information. Caring so much about this companion, using so much favoritism towards him. The relationship between the two must be extraordinary! It seems it’s not a mere employer or employee relationship. Thinking so, Paladin’s face has a joyful color, revealing a smile that stops the child’s night sobbing and said: “Then, I can strip you naked, so that those guards patrolling in front of the gate of the fortress painstakingly release the pressure properly. Then cut off your tear-stained and blood-stained head and hang it on the city gates. I believe this noble mage will break down and run out by himself.”

“You are a demon! A demon in human skin!” Hearing these horrifying remarks, Adele’s worry was finally magnified, and tears of humiliation and fear spilled from her eyes. She lost his voice and roared. But Paladin kept smiling. He stretched out his hand, gradually approached Adele’s skirt, and said in a cold tone: “Try it if you don’t believe me. I also want to see that an assassin like you must have a good figure.”

Seeing Paladin’s hand gradually approaching her collar, her chastity and life were about to disappear here, to put it mildly. The fear in her eyes grew bigger and bigger, and Paladin immediately remembered at the right time, “Say who the person who hired you is. Why do you want to kill me? And this will stop!” But beyond Paladin’s expectations, although these intimidating remarks broke down Adele’s defenses, but under the edge of such despair, Adele’s eyes filled with determination, and she suddenly let out a miserable roar. Dense bright red runes began to flash on her delicate body!

Just as Paladin was slightly stunned, before he could draw his hand back. An accident just happened.

“Ahhhhhhhh!” Adella let out a miserable scream, and Paladin immediately saw the red runes on her body, immediately all rushing to her left arm. In an instant, it dyed that jade arm red, emitting a blinding red light! When it was too late, Adele’s eyes had become red, and the arm that emitted red light violently swung, not only shattering the Chain of Light, but even turned it into a bloody light, and swung it towards Paladin’s arm that was tightly clasping her neck!

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!” Paladin stared at the flying golden crystal shards, and kept backing away in pain, clutching his arm tightly. When he first saw the severed wrist, he couldn’t bear the pain that went deep into his soul and screamed: “Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!” I saw that a piece of his right hand was cut off alive! That arm completely fused with light elements couldn’t withstand the cutting of that strange ability! It can even be seen that the broken arm that Paladin is holding on to is a golden crystal full of cracks like a broken stone. Only to see that on his right hand, a section was cut off alive! That arm that was completely fused with the light element surprisingly couldn’t withstand the cut of that bizarre ability! It was even possible to see that at the severed arm that Paladin was holding on to with a death grip, there were actually golden crystals that were covered in cracks just like broken stones.

The hand that had been cut off, on the other hand, was now more like a piece of crystal lying on the ground. There was no blood, no bones or flesh. The red light in her eyes dispersed, her face was deathly white as Adele half-kneeled on the ground, the left arm that emitted the red light had disappeared together with the red light fading at this moment. This bizarre ability was sacrificed part of the limb to launch! Panting and barely standing up, Adele saw Paladin, who was lying on the ground screaming and twisting, and realized that those golden beams of light around her originally did not know when they had already obliterated.

Originally, she wanted to go forward and patch up this asshole, eliminating the aftermath. However, that ability that had just been used was the Demon Blade Ritual Formation that the H-assassin Alliance had enchanted to every elite assassin. When the formation was triggered as a last resort, a part of the limb would be used as a price in exchange for an attack powerful enough to cleave through the protection of an eight-star warrior. So right now, all Adele had to do was to run for her life as quickly as possible, and bandaging her wounds before the blood ran out was the right thing to do.

“Ah! What is this!” Adele, who was preparing to flee, suddenly saw the crystallized torso at Paladin’s severed limbs. Then she remembered that when she chopped it earlier, there was not the slightest touch of flesh and blood. It was just like shattering a piece of stone. Looking at this inhuman torso, Adele redefined Paladin: “This is not a selfish scum, but an outright monster!”

However, at the moment when Adele was stunned, Paladin forcibly suppressed the boundless pain, slowly raised his head, and his eyes burst into golden light again! The face distorted by the pain roared: “Adele! How dare you hurt me!” As soon as the words fell, four golden light balls suddenly appeared around Paladin’s body. With Paladin’s wave of his hand, the four light balls immediately shot out beams of light and shot at Adele very quickly!

Seeing this kind of power, Adele immediately endured the severe pain and rolled over to avoid it. In a flash, she jumped to the balcony of the room and leapt without hesitation!
