Chapter 457(1/4)
Even though he was well prepared, Thales still tensed up after Sak'el appeared.
He still chased me.
Punishment Knight.
At this moment, he is the biggest threat in the dungeon.
Things don't look good for Sak'el.
The knight was already in a state of embarrassment. At this moment, his eyes were half open and half closed. He seemed to have been severely injured by the flash bomb just now. His steps that were once as steady as a mountain now needed the support of the wall and the weapon in his hand to stand upright. His right shoulder
There was a thick bandage wrapped around it, and it oozed bright red.
But even so, no one dares to underestimate him.
Sak'el gritted his teeth, held on to the wall, and stepped into the storage room step by step.
Like a beast gradually emerging from the darkness.
"No, damn it..." Quick Rope nervously raised the arm crossbow, but was held down by Thales before firing!
"calm."
Thales held the fast rope's arm tightly and gritted his teeth:
"not now."
Not only Thales and Quick Rope, but also Samir, Belletti, Nye and others also looked ugly.
"Hahahaha, 'Stop talking'?"
Naki recovered from his daze and smiled sadly.
"No," Naji's expression changed and he scanned everyone:
"Everyone here has the right to shut me up."
Naji raised his finger tremblingly and pointed at the punishment knight:
"except you."
"Sacher."
Thacker paused.
Already bruised and bruised, he stood by the door, looking confused and painfully at Naki, who seemed to be risking everything. His eyes passed over a group of dejected and slumped former colleagues.
It was very quiet in the cell, except for people who were in pain or gasping for breath.
Sak'el shook his head slightly and looked away.
"Naki."
"you are tired."
The punishment knight whispered, as if coaxing a child.
But Naki didn't appreciate it.
"Yeah, I'm tired."
I saw Naki retreating step by step and saying with a sad smile:
"I've had enough of your arrogance and arrogance, Knight of Punishment."
Thacker frowned.
"You don't want to tarnish the reputation of the royal family, but you also can't bear to expose the faces of our group of shameless traitors," Naki's breathing became more rapid:
"You always want to find the most comprehensive solution."
He narrowed his eyes, despair seeping into his tone:
"But you think that if you bear all the sins alone and hold up the toppling pillars alone, no one's honor will be tarnished, no one's reputation will be damaged, and you will remain silent and walk alone, it is a great sacrifice.
Are you worthy of everyone?"
Sak'el said nothing.
Little Barney was still kneeling on the ground in despair, his mind wandering, Belletti looked nervous, and Samir was silent.
Naki started to tremble.
A few seconds later, the anger that had been suppressed for countless years burst out from his throat:
"Fuck you!"
"You damn bastard, proud watchman Sak'el!"
The scolding echoed in the storage room, causing the torch in Samir's hand to flicker.
But no one said anything, including Sak'el.
Looking at Sak'el and Naki who were having a mental breakdown in front of him, Kuaisuo swallowed and nervously poked Thales:
"Whatever I say, I know that these lunatics are unreliable..."
However, Thales just looked at everyone present with complicated eyes and remained silent.
yes.
He looked at the collapsed Barney and the lost Naki.
However, if it weren't for this bunch of unreliable lunatics, we would have become part of the Bone Cage a long time ago.
"You think you are protecting us, protecting those who have passed away..."
Naki's eyes turned red, and he roared like a wild beast at the melancholy Sak'el:
"But you don't understand!"
Naji's voice gradually became quieter, but the difficulty and despair in his words became more and more obvious:
"You sacrifice yourself for others and take responsibility for your sins. You are great, glorious, selfless, and heroic..."
The poor guard prisoner collapsed to his knees, his weapon and keys slipping from his hands at the same time.
"But you, a selfish ghost who claims to be a saint, throw all your endless self-blame, guilt, and torture back to us! Let us play the ugliest roles on the stage and face the painful realities that you cannot face.
!”
Naki slapped his chest hysterically:
"us!"
Sak'el bowed his head and remained silent amidst the deafening accusations, as if he was not in this world at all.
Naji seemed to be tired of scolding. He collapsed on the ground, his voice was hoarse, and he murmured in a daze:
"You and Big Barney, you are both executioners who kill without blood..."
These words made little Barney, who was kneeling on the ground, tremble.
Just listen to Naji sobbing:
"The only difference is..."
"Big Barney makes us hate him..."
"You, you make us... hate ourselves."
Naji lowered his head and buried his face in his hands, his shoulders shaking.
After several seconds, Sak'el raised his head in the almost endless silence.
He stretched out his hand in the direction of Naki in confusion, but trembled halfway and slowly put it down.
The past cannot be changed.
But at least...
Sak'el deflected his gaze, as if he didn't dare to look at Naki anymore, but staggered towards Thales step by step.
This makes many people nervous!
"Barney, Barney, wake up!"
As Sak'el approached step by step, even though he had been deprived of his position as the highest-ranking person after Little Barney, Belletti was in a state of confusion and anxiously called out the vanguard officer's name, hoping that the latter would take action.
But little Barney, who was kneeling on the ground, looked distracted, as if he didn't hear anything.
Sak'el glanced at Little Barney with a dead look in his eyes, glanced at the mark on the latter's face, and immediately looked away.
he's gone.
Sak'el said to himself silently.
The unshakable and undefeatable vanguard of Quill Barney is no more.
He turned his head sadly and continued to move forward.
"Damn it!"
Belletti cursed and gave up on waking Barney.
To be continued...
