Riston was in pain.

His whole life was painful, he was born at the bottom, he knew that kind of life, but he was lucky, he had good talent, he could follow the tall body to join the army, step by step to the top.

So he always remembered the pain of his childhood, and hoped that others would not be like him, who could not even sleep well.

Only Léa is the only joy in his life.

It was only now that he finally saw the moment when the pain that had tormented him all his life could be resolved.

It's a pity that he and the black-robed man in front of him are destined to be incompatible.

"Your plan, your arrangement, will subvert the empire! I'm not going to sit idly by! I swore allegiance to the Emperor and to the Empire! Riston roared, like an angry bear!

The air shook, the ground cracked, and there was a rumble between the collisions, cracks spreading from where the two men had struck. The two humanoid tyrannosaurus rexes collided defenselessly head-on, setting off an earthquake and a violent wind, cracking the earth, and obscuring the moon with clouds!

But Lu En didn't even move, he just stood there with his cane.

Such a huge movement was just a punch from Riston on his magic wall.

Livia is a strong attack 8, she can't shake the Demon King's defense with all her strength, and she has to be backstabbed by Kara's sneak attack, how much stronger can Riston be than her?

Riston knew that, of course, but he did it anyway.

Faced with an opponent who could destroy the empire, the Earth Dragon did not choose to report the news, inform the empire, and let the empire encircle and suppress Lu En.

Because he knew that Lu En had the potential to destroy the empire.

He has the potential to destroy the Empire!

It was possible to end the pain of Riston's life, a nightmare he could not get rid of for the rest of his life, and now he finally saw hope, but that hope came at the cost of ending the empire.

On one side is the people at the bottom who he always misses, and on the other side is the empire that he has served all his life.

This time, he chose the best of both worlds.

He used his life to stop Lu En, to do the effort to kill the demon king, he will not release the slightest bit of water, absolutely go all out, this is his loyalty to the empire.

But at the same time, he also knew that this would not hinder the path of the Demon King, he should be the only person in the empire who saw the monster's plan, as long as he died, the Demon King would be able to sit back and relax in a short time.

Loyalty to the empire with life, and solace to conscience with death.

Lu En still stood on the ground with his cane.

But Riston walks like a crumbling boulder, rampage all the way unstoppable! The offensive is constant, he can hit several attacks every second, and each blow can smash the hill!

The magic wall of the king of monsters is like a reef in the tide, and the flickering of the impact is constantly crumbling, but it ...... But it doesn't fall!

Storm......! It's called a storm! The aftermath of a tornado raged mercilessly all around!

Such a terrifying battle directly triggered a change in the sky, a short period of fierce battle, but it has caused an instantaneous rise in temperature, and the place that was a field before has now become a deep pit of about 300 meters...... The ground had been beaten and sunk alive, and the hill next to it had been completely flattened, and the pit was exploding every second, as if it was cutting off the surface every second.

It's just the wind pressure of the battle of Riston, which has torn a canyon alive on the flat ground!

The aftermath of this monster's battle can leave dozens of meters of ravines on the ground at will, and it is these ravines that are superimposed to create this canyon hundreds of meters deep-

The earth is trembling, the air is screaming! The terrifying lethality of Juli is undoubtedly demonstrated!

But Lu En still stood quietly at the bottom, waiting for the end of the opponent's first wave of offensive.

It's a terrifying power, if it's level 9, then the sudden punch can directly break through the barrier and knock out Lu En's brains.

It's a pity that he is only level 8, and Lu En even has a "home field advantage" temporarily.

The bonuses given by the Empire himself are helping him destroy the generals who are loyal to the Empire.

Seeing that the damage done by his hands was insufficient, Riston immediately turned around, slapped one hand on the ground, and pulled his magic equipment from the leylines!

That's a greatsword! The whole thing seemed to be made of some kind of purple spar, but it looked strange, as if it was unfinished, about three meters long, the hilt and gauntlet looked very rough, without any other decoration, and the jagged purple crystals formed the blade of the greatsword, which was placed on the side of the ear, and a slight buzzing sound could be heard.

Lu En knew what it was, the famous weapon of the Earth Dragon, the giant sword "Earth Core".

It is carved from the core of a mountain range, and it is a level 8 craftsman who has personally polished a cone-shaped mountain core into its current state, because it is very hard, so it cannot be processed by other means, and can only be polished with other mountain cores little by little, and after the twenty mountain cores are scrapped, it is barely carved into such a semi-finished appearance.

Although it is still not finished, due to its extreme hardness and heaviness, it is most suitable for the fierce warrior of the Earth Dragon's Great Force 8, and the characteristics of the core of the mountain range make it not shock, and will pour all its power into the opponent's body! The multiple spells attached to it give Riston a powerful spell resistance and strength bonus.

And because this thing itself is the core of the mountain range, it can be buried in the leylines anytime and anywhere, and he only needs to stretch out his hand to pull it out of the leylines!

Lu En still didn't make a move, this was his courtesy to the Earth Dragon, if it weren't for his allegiance to the Empire and personally led people to slaughter the Demon King City, Lu En might have accepted him as a comrade.

But alas, it can't be.

The dragon of the earth leaps high! The body is like a tight bowstring! A blow smashed on Lu En's magic barrier, causing the ground under his feet to sink directly for three points, the ground was torn apart, and Lu En's magic barrier was smashed into the ground, I don't know how far it sank! The canyon suddenly collapsed, burying everything inside alive!

However, Lu En himself ...... But not even the skin was hurt......

"I'm going to fight back." After receiving the blow, Lu En said softly as he was sinking with Riston.

He stretched out a hand and tapped it across the magic barrier on the greatsword.

Very ordinary magic, level 3, repulsion.

It's just a repulsive force that pushes people away.

That's all.

But at this moment, the collapsed canyon, the gravel, clods, and boulders inside, including Riston himself, all flew up.

If I had to describe it in one word, it would be......

Volcanic eruptions.

The ground roared, birds and insects flew away, the loose sand layer and the weak silt layer of the stratum all collapsed, the surrounding scenery was destroyed in an instant, the river was diverted, and the hills turned over, as if the sky and the earth had changed!

From the soil layer below to the rock layer, and then to the surface, the drastic changes produced a large amplitude of oscillation along the interface and the surface, as if a bomb suddenly exploded, and a strong earthquake caused landslides, collapses, ground fissures, and the ground shook obviously, and the shaking of the earthquake caused the topsoil to sink, and the shallow groundwater was squeezed, and fountains began to emerge, and the closest place to the rock layer even caused local topographic changes!

Riston's powerful sword was cut off from mid-air, and the power that was twice as strong as the giant force just now surged onto the sword body, and the giant force 8 could only barely resist, but the tenacious 6 could no longer support it! His fingers were broken, the tiger's mouth cracked, and the sword came out of his hand, flying hundreds of meters, and inserted on a boulder, but the boulder couldn't bear it and exploded directly! The blade continued to rush forward, buried deep in the earth!

The ground exploded with a simple repulsion technique! Countless debris gushed out! There was no fire, but the debris was washed straight into the sky for thousands of meters, and then scattered, and the dust and debris seemed to stain the clouds yellow!

Lu En flew out of it, and with a casual grab, the mage's hand grabbed a severed finger and some blood from the countless debris and dust.

Through the arcane eyes that flew out in all directions, he could easily control all the situations on the battlefield, and could see where the opponent's severed limbs and blood had fallen.

As we all know, don't leave your hair or blood, or even a part of your limbs altogether, to a mage, or curse skill holder.

Riston was still flying in the sky and hadn't fallen, so Lu En could cast Shi Ran's spell.

Level 8, Curse of Doom

This curse causes deep doom to befall the target, making it seem as if the recipient is rejected by the world.

This is a simulation of the skill effect of the mages studying the curse skill person, although it is level 8 magic, but in the hands of magic 8, the effect is about the same as the curse strength of the level 5 curse skill person.

But when Magic 9 is cast, the power is completely different, especially at this moment.

Riston was in the sky, and he was about to jump off a boulder that had been sprayed up together.

But at this time, a sudden storm from the sky swept away the boulder he had caught!

He adjusted his body with extremely quick reactions, maintained his balance in the last half second, and immediately let go of the boulder! Forced to jump higher.

This time he dodged the storm, but at this time, he suddenly realized that he had jumped too high.

So high in the sky, the most common ...... It's a thunderstorm.

And the most powerful thunder that occurs naturally is ball lightning.

The ball lightning made a crackling or hissing sound, and when it disappeared, it suddenly exploded, and then the nearby air was burst out of the electric light and decomposed into a mass of hydrogen and oxygen, forming a series of lightning bolts, hundreds of millions of volts of voltage and huge current directly stunned the earth dragon! Lost consciousness for a short time!

The giant man could no longer make any posture of being subjected, and directly fell freely and smashed down.

Like a meteor, he slammed to the ground, making an astonishing noise along the way.

And Lu En had already calculated his landing point, and before he landed, it took a few seconds to draw a string of runes.

Nothing special spells.

Tier 6 fossils are made of steel, similar to turning mud into stone, and are a series of spells that can turn stone into extremely hard steel, far more than ordinary steel, and can be considered an enchanted material.

However, this spell does not solidify permanently like turning mud into stone, and the steel created can only exist for a certain period of time, after which it will turn back, which is considered a defect, and mages usually use this trick to build temporary shelters.

At such a high height, Riston could not be killed, because his body was harder than the earth, and it was like a steel plate falling from a high altitude into the water, and it was true that the surface tension would cause the steel to be subjected to extremely violent impacts, but it was not enough to kill him.

But swap the dirt for a stronger cement, and it's different.

The huge body fell and exploded in an instant! The steel made of fossilized steel was directly smashed.

Even Ariston's body broke tendons and fractures, and he was so hungry that he couldn't even breathe and couldn't get up!

The strength of level 9 mages lies in the fact that they can always come up with a suitable spell in the right place, why can magic be called the top of all kinds of skills?

Here's why.

This is a complete torture, and it is impossible for Riston to face the King of Monsters head-on, and it is completely taken for granted.

Lu En rarely made a move, because violence meant nothing to the Empire, but as a veteran magician9, he was definitely the strongest group below level 10.

"I can't bear to kill you with my own hands, but you can't live, cut yourself, and I will bury you." Lu En stood still, not even ash on his robe.

And Riston was covered in blood, severely fractured, his body showed signs of being struck by lightning, and the bone stubble even pierced out of the flesh, spitting blood from his mouth, and there were fragments of internal organs inside.

The contrast is unusually strong.

But Riston still stood up, did not speak, and only pulled the "core" that was integrated into the leylines from the ground again.

Then, again, the charge was launched.

The real limit! Completely disregard for self-damage! Let the muscles and bones crumble and tear apart because of the overload of force, every step, every move, like a landslide and tsunami, but at the cost of him being almost human.

But Lu En didn't let him take the second step at all, and he summoned a burst of Yang Flame without any delay.

Intense light shone, everything around danced and fluctuated, and under that "sun", everything around it took on a bright white color, and the magic was so strong that it bleached the spectrum, leaving only a white world and the occasional obscured black shadow, which looked like a black smudge on a white background.

When it was all over, Lu looked at the charred corpse.

Then, his pupils shrank—

He was covered in bruises, seriously wounded and dying, and covered in black stains after the blood evaporated, but he was not dead.

The entrails were exposed, all the skin was melted, the muscles were broken, and it looked like a rotting corpse, but - he wasn't dead yet!

His blood was almost dry, and he had endured so much corrosion that it seemed like he was going to collapse and die in the next second.

But—he didn't die!

The Earth Core Greatsword pierced directly through Lu En's magic barrier, cutting a bloody streak on his face in surprise.

But Lu En's speed was very fast, and in an instant, before the giant sword had time to do anything else, Lu En disappeared directly in place and flashed to the rear.

Lu En looked at his magic wall in astonishment, he couldn't figure out how this was destroyed, this was impossible, just a level 8 power was just a sword.

"Why do you have to do it to this extent?" Lu En touched the wound on his face and looked at the charred corpse.

"As a soldier, I can't betray the Empire, I swore allegiance to the Emperor, but as a human being, I can't betray my conscience." The charred corpse staggered along, making a hoarse sound.

"When my homeland is about to perish, when the whole meaning of my life is destroyed! I can't live anymore! The course of my life has given me the right to die, and I have fought for the empire to the last breath of my life! He finally roared!

"And you! We must turn this kingdom upside down! Subvert, people on the head! ”

"It's like killing me today! It's like now—"

Before he could finish his sentence, his tall body that had turned into char completely collapsed.
