Alien Knights

Flying high in the forest, Todd used his eagle eyes and clairvoyant abilities to observe the bloodstains scattered on the ground.

While flying forward along the bloodstains, Todd said to himself, "Where does this guy want to go?"

The bloodstains traveled northward from the battlefield and penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Connaught Kingdom.

After several hours of circling and tracking, Todd finally flew over a ring-shaped arena built on the top of a mountain.

"An arena is built in such a remote place?" Todd carefully lowered his height and approached some buildings below him.

After some observation, Todd found that the arena had only completed the basic civil engineering and greening, and the decoration was not finished. At most, it could only be regarded as a half-constructed construction site. However, the stands in the arena were filled with "people", and all the seats were packed to the brim.

What surprised Todd was that the "spectators" in the stands just sat there still, didn't speak, didn't even move, the whole space seemed strangely stagnant in time.

Lowering it a bit, Todd gasped in shock at the scene in front of him.

Looking around, the thousands of "spectators" sitting here are not living people at all, they are all corpses in clothes, and some have even rotted into dry bones.

Among these corpses were civilians in ordinary clothes, nobles in fine clothes, and even kings with scepters in their hands and crowns on their heads.

Everyone was nailed to the seat, their faces were forced to face the center of the arena, and a wooden stick was tied to their backs to support their bodies.

Todd, who was stunned by the scene in front of him, slowly landed on the ground, looked at everything around him, and murmured, "What kind of lunatic is this to do such a thing?"

"Todd..."

A weak voice sounded, and Todd turned around and saw the monster dragging its injured leg at the entrance of the arena.

"Cú Chulainn..." Todd opened his golden dragon eyes and waved the dragon wings towards the audience: "These! You did all of these?!"

Cu Chulainn, who was stabbed by the gun of death silence, was dejected and weak. Half of his human face was exposed on his upper body, and he said in a low voice: "Here... this is my resting garden, my garden. A sanctuary for the soul..."

Todd looked at Cu Chulainn in disbelief, his astonishment and anger made him forget his words.

"Look at the highest stand, where King Conchiuber of Ulster and King Aegir of Connaught sit. Beside them are kings or lords of small countries." Cu Chulainn smiled Looking at the auditorium, he said like a few treasures: "At the front of the auditorium are the nobles of Ulster; and at the back are the people of the kingdom..."

"Enough!" Todd slammed his forelegs into the mud, and the huge impact smashed the ground into cracks like spider webs: "I said something wrong before! What you did is even worse than a beast!" Why not!"

Cu Chulainn stopped his movements, looked at Todd who was in a rage, grinned and said, "Todd, I've heard about you, and I've always wanted to ask you a question... If, now, there is an invasion It's not Ulster, but Muxi City, what will you do?"

Todd was taken aback: "What did you say?"

"If Muxi City, which you built from scratch and painstakingly, is reduced to the status quo in Ulster today, what will you do?"

Seeing Todd fell silent, Cu Chulainn continued: "When Muxi City was devoured by the flames of war, the invaders stepped on every inch of your land. The nobles only cared about protecting themselves, and even betrayed their country for glory; while the people forgot about the kingdom the glory, betrayed the original oath, and gave up the only belief... At that time, what would you do?"

Cu Chulainn stretched out his alienated limbs and pointed at the black dragon in front of him: "You will become as crazy as me... No, you will be more tyrannical and cruel than me."

Todd raised the dragon's head and stared at Cu Chulainn: "No, I'm different, and Muxi City is also different..."

Cu Chulainn laughed, as if he heard the most interesting thing in the world: "Look at me, and look at yourself! We are no longer human! What are we?! We are tyrants! We are beasts! Could it be that the beasts In this world, is there still good and evil?!"

"What we need is flesh and blood, killing!"

Cu Chulainn paused for a moment, slowly lowered his forelegs, and said sadly: "But for you and me, the tyrannical behavior and horrific appearance are just to keep the last light in our hearts, that is the motherland. ..."

Todd frowned, looked at Cu Chulainn and did not speak for a long time.

Two tyrants, two beasts stared at each other in a land full of death and despair.

After a long time, Todd spoke first: "Cuchulin, give up... Come back to the Kingdom of Shadows with me, Scathach is waiting for you."

Cu Chulainn shook his head and smiled wryly, "Wait for me? You can't even tell lies so lamely."

Pointing to the wound on his thigh, Cu Chulainn said to Todd: "Why did my master give you another death silence? Do you really not understand, or are you just pretending to be confused? This means that she has given up Me, means what she wants to see is my head!"

"At the beginning, when I went to the Kingdom of Shadows, I narrowly escaped death during trials, in order to prove myself to my country and my loved ones, to prove that I have the ability and willingness to protect them, and to prove that I am their hero!"

Cu Chulainn's spirit became worse and worse, and the human form was gradually swallowed up by the monster form, and his voice became lower and lower: "In the end, the king, nobles, and commoners all betrayed this country one after another, and I am the only one left to suffer. and the people I love, my fiancée, my friend, and my master, also abandoned me one after another, leaving me alone to survive like a lonely ghost... What did I do wrong? Why... "

Finally, the last human eye on Cu Chulainn's face was swallowed into the monster's body, and there was no trace of human beings in the whole body anymore.

The monster's body began to mutate, and its size became larger again, reaching a height of about fifteen meters. Countless tentacles like iron whips grow on the back and chest, and countless compound eyes are like holes in a honeycomb, blooming like flowers on the wolf's head's face.

The forelimbs gradually became thicker, and two huge sharp blades evolved, while the hind limbs gradually degenerated into sarcoma, retracting into the abdomen. Eight sharp claws protruded from the ribs and extended beyond the body surface, turning into spider-like limbs.

All these changes made the current Cu Chulainn look like a giant monster with a wolf body and spider legs.

Todd looked at the monster in front of him and suddenly realized a troublesome truth.

Cu Chulainn, who has completely lost his humanity, has entered the second form of a tyrant.
