This knight is too perfect

Chapter 51 Distortion [35]

Looking at Fergus who was still stubborn even when facing death, Judith's face became more and more gloomy.

It was because Fergus was so ruthless that he exposed the most sensitive part of Judith's heart.

And this place is his natural, extremely ugly appearance.

It is precisely because of Judith's almost morbid pursuit of "beauty".

This made him extremely eager for the group of witches who symbolized "beauty" in the eyes of the world, and he longed to gain their recognition.

But at this time, Fergus directly exposed his hypocritical shell.

And let its ugly soul be exposed nakedly under the moonlight, and trample it mercilessly.

Therefore, even though he admired Fergus so much, he would never easily forgive such an offensive act.

"The light in your heart?"

Judith reached out her hand and placed it on Fergus's head.

As Judith exerted more force, her sharp nails slowly cut open Fergus's scalp.

Bright red blood flowed from these wounds and soon covered Fergus's cheeks.

But this kind of physical torture and pain not only did not make Fergus surrender, but made the smile on his face even brighter.

This is a mockery of Judith's incompetence as well as his self-deception.

Judith, who saw this scene, suddenly let go of her hand.

He changed his previous anger and now gently stroked Fergus's cheek.

It's like caressing your lover.

"Fergus, your soul is indeed special and invaluable."

"I have met many, many souls in my life. Among these souls there are devout pastors, greedy businessmen, and some kind people who have never done anything bad."

“But no matter what their identities, personalities, or strengths, as long as the shadow of death looms over them, they all react the same way in the end. They beg for mercy, like lowly wild dogs, begging for mercy from me non-stop.”

"But you are different, Fergus. I am sure that the shadow of death has completely enveloped you, but it cannot cover up the light in your heart. Even an outsider like me can feel your dazzling soul and firm will."

"This is truly amazing, Fergus, you have done things that I thought could only be found in epic poetry."

"But the more this happens, the more curious I am. I am curious about how far your soul and your will can go."

"You said that if I controlled your body, I would do something that you would absolutely not tolerate."

"Then can your soul and will still be as dazzling and firm as they are now?"

After hearing what Judith said, Fergus seemed to understand something.

So much so that he began to struggle constantly, and his expression became extremely ferocious.

It seemed that what Judith was going to do to him next was more frightening to Fergus than death.

Fergus's struggle not only did not stop Judith from doing what she was doing, but made him even more excited.

It's like making some exquisite work of art.

Judith took out her "bone needle thread" with a rose inlaid on the end and began to "sew" Fergus' body carefully.

As the needle and thread continued to move through Fergus' body, Fergus' body quickly changed.

I saw that the places that Judith had stitched now had some tiny "petals" and a lot of blood-colored threads.

And these petals, combined with those special 'threads', connect every part of Fergus' body, just like a work of art.

As more and more threads similar to "petals" appeared, Fergus' body gradually became stable. It was as if there was a special power in the dark, slowly taking over Fergus' body.

[Name: Blood Rose Bone Needle]

[Level: Silver]

[Passive effect: Can directly contact the opponent's soul without destroying the soul]

[Effect: You can apply your own extraordinary characteristics to the soul that is stitched by the bone needle, and without destroying the other party's extraordinary characteristics, make it completely become your "puppet", absolutely loyal and unable to betray]

[Description: "Blood means the death of life, and roses mean the blooming of life. I use blood as thread and roses as needles to tease and play with souls, and in this process... achieve the beauty of life that I have been pursuing all my life." - Judith Moore]

Looking at Fergus who had been stitched one-third of the way, Judith's expression became more and more excited, and her face gradually turned red, and she seemed to be enjoying the process very much.

“Sure enough, a beautiful skin without a soul is nothing but a dead object, and the beauty it represents is doomed to be short-lived. Only when the beautiful skin and the soul are perfectly matched can they together create the most beautiful art in the world.”

“Fergus, you are not my first work, but I have a feeling that you will become my most satisfying work so far and for a long time to come.”

Judith continued to thread the needle on Fergus as she spoke.

Just when he had finished sewing halfway, Judith suddenly stopped what she was doing and stood up abruptly.

He looked towards the direction of the town outside the castle with an extremely solemn expression.

The fog that should have completely covered the town was suddenly torn open by someone.

"Did it come so fast?"

Judith frowned and looked at the widening gap outside the town.

Then he looked at Fergus who was only halfway done beside him, and then looked at the 'flower basket' he had placed on the ground.

In the flower basket were many "blood roses" that looked like they had absorbed Diaz's flesh, blood, and soul.

There are so many roses, probably hundreds or even thousands.

After a not-too-long period of thought, Judith made a decision.

He glanced at Fergus, who was kneeling on the ground and had only sewn halfway, and said with great regret: "I'm sorry, Fergus, I don't have enough time to finish your work that should have been perfect."

“Although I would be reluctant to leave now, isn’t restraint the most important thing for an Beyonder?”

"Not to mention that I've already gotten what I wanted, and it's time to leave."

Judith picked up the flower basket on the ground next to her and looked at Fergus who was half-kneeling on the ground with another 'affectionate' look.

"Goodbye, Fergus. I don't think I'll be able to meet another beautiful soul like you who intoxicates me for a long time to come."

"Whenever I think about this, I can't help but feel sad."

After that, Judith wiped away the tears from her eyes and said with a sobbing voice: "Stay here, and... kill anyone who dares to approach here, my beautiful Knight Fergus."

After hearing Judith's order, Fergus actually stood up slowly and tightly grasped the "Carlos Greatsword" in his hand.

It was just like his attitude when he was guarding the entire castle alone not long ago, nothing had changed.

Only this time he is no longer the guardian of this land.

Instead, he should point his sword at those who, like him before him, are ready to protect this land.

In the hazy night, Judith, carrying a basket of flowers, slowly disappeared into the white mist.

Let Fergus and a large number of soul stealers, who are like the walking dead, stay here alone, waiting for the upcoming people...
