Chapter 980: Prologue to the Beginning and End (6)

ββ[White Dragon Horse~Hoofs facing west~Carrying Tang Sanzang~Following the apprentices~]ββ
On the vast desert, a sphinx made entirely of sand and dirt was galloping northward, and above its head stood a man with an arrogant expression and wild behavior.
He was black-haired and dark-eyed, tall and dressed in loose black in ancient Egyptian style with dark gold charms, and a long, wide snow-white cloak on his shoulders that hunted in the hurricane.
"Everybody, everybody, everybody, krypton!"
The man shouted incomprehensible words as he swung the golden staff in his hand forward.
At this moment, a dazzling and wide flame ray suddenly projected from the void high above his head, and with a slight horizontal swipe, it burned all the hundreds of strange birds that were surrounding the Sphinx into ashes.
"What the hell are you translating?" Ryunosuke glared at Ade: "The same is true of the 'what's wrong pinch' last time." β
"[This sentence means 'cowardly, too cowardly', translating ancient Egyptian into modern Egyptian, and then into Japanese, and finally the Chinese empty ear is like this, and I am also desperate. Yard's transformed dagger swayed and snapped.
Why Chinese empty ears? Oh yes, Ryunosuke glanced at Hayashi Hao, who was staring curiously at Ramses II.
This Ramses II, also known as Ozmandias, was an Egyptian pharaoh around the 14th century BC, occupying the Rider position, and it is said that any creature with mount qualities can ride except for the dragon species, as for strength, he combines attributes such as "fantasy species", "plural treasures", "map weapons", "fortresses", "inherent barriers", "universal emperor privileges", etc., which can only be said to be strong, very strong, very strong.
Before Ramses II left the desert oasis city [Ramisium], he handed it over to the management of [Nitokris] who led the way for Ryunosuke and others.
Not to mention why he is willing to act with his group, but if even a servant of this level can't compete with the "female version of King Arthur" over there on her own, it's really hard to imagine how strong she will be.
By the way, it should be a female monk Westward Traveler based on the legendary Tang Sanzang who learned scriptures from the West, and for some reason he is called Wukong - this pharaoh doesn't look like a monkey.
In the end, it was the Sphinx who was a mount at this time, because the Sphinx all looked the same, Ryunosuke couldn't tell if it was the one that was "blown away" by himself, he tried to pronounce "Buddhist temple weak" again, but it only blew a small whirlwind that was not too strong, maybe Ramses II strengthened the one at the beginning.
Next, on the way from Ramsium to the mountain settlement of the Mountain Lord, everyone encountered several more attacks, but as Ramses II said, those wild mutant monsters that failed to awaken into "Arisian Hundred Species" were too weak, and he didn't even make a move and only commanded the Sphinx to attack.
"Goku is still as powerful as ever." The westwalker clearly didn't intend to change his tune.
ββ[The West Heaven Learns the Scriptures on the Road~A Walk is Tens of Thousands of Miles~]ββ
It is a human settlement that stretches over the entire mountainous area, and is basically a barren mountain area with scattered green bushes and trees with few leaves.
The colony was bordered by roughly constructed barriers and barbed wire made of stone, scrap metal, and scrap wood, apparently designed to keep out mutated beasts rather than sapient creatures, and closer to the center was a relatively intact ring of iron plates and stone walls, with figures patrolling above the walls, and more heavily defended near the two gates.
Ramses II did not break in directly, nor did he open the door for the people inside, but drove the Sphinx to stop outside their lines, as if waiting for the people inside to come and meet the Pharaoh.
"Senior, I feel that there are many targets around me that are hostile to us, but I don't see anything." Matthew looked around a little nervously.
"I don't think so...... Well...... Maybe there's some Hassan nearby. Ryunosuke answered, and then glanced at Lin Hao, who was pulling at the corners of his clothes, or rather, the unknown Hassan girl.
The Westwalker should be an important reason for recruiting Ramses II, and this gathering place of Hassan, presumably this servant incarnated by Lin Hao will be the key.
According to Yard, the position of Assassin is generally only summoned from the Assassin organization of the "Old Man of the Mountain", namely Hassan and Assassin, but Matthew says that there are many other Heroes who are also suitable for this position, such as Jing Ke.
And because they all have the ability to block breath or stealth, when Yard scans this area, all he sees is all kinds of strange buildings and normal life, old human inhabitants in blue uniforms.
Specifically, in the middle of the gathering place is a ruined, almost Roman circular theater-like building, with a variety of building materials in and around it, and expanding into a quirky hill town.
At the end of the road that stretches into the depths of the mountain is a "shelter" with a huge round door like a gear, and Yard can't scan its inside, so he can't be sure if the old humans built it out of the shelter and summoned Hassan, or if the Hassan first discovered the abandoned shelter and used it as a base to collect the old humans from other places.
After a stalemate between the two sides at the gate of the settlement for a while, the solemnity on Matthew's face suddenly relaxed, and it was obvious that the invisible Hassan around him had left.
Then, Ryunosuke saw a woman wearing a skull bone mask, dressed in black, with a large purple ponytail on the back of her head, appearing out of the air.
"Welcome, Lord of the Sun, Lord of the Mountain, please go to the 'Temple', of course, your Sphinx is not allowed to enter," she said, "The rest of the companions can walk around the city, but don't cause trouble." β
Turning? Ryunosuke frowned, even if there are shops and inns here, the quality is very questionable, right? And these aborigines will certainly not accept paper money.
"[The currency they used was the pre-war 'Nuka-Cola' bottle cap," Yard said, "[We can consider bartering-]"
Whoa......
Yard was in the middle of his sentence when he was interrupted by the sound of a clashing of metal.
"Do you mean that?" Matthew grabbed a large handful of big red bottle caps from her treasure space: "So the reward is going to be exchanged here?" β
"......" Ryunosuke, who had fooled Mathieu to collect the bottle caps, silently covered his face.
ββWhat demons and monsters~What beautiful women paint skin~ββ
Although the houses were dilapidated, the settlement was equipped with weapons, armor, and hotels, and it was undisputed that Matthew had taken out the "thousand-year-old bottle cap".
So, Matthew started a big purchase here with the bottle caps she had accumulated.
Giant mole meat skewers, boiled mireurish crab eggs, two-headed beef steak, glowing mushroom soup, these foods are quite normal, there is magic, so you won't eat anything wrong.
The heart of the deathclaw, the scales of the deathclaw, the horn of the deathclaw...... They come from the most powerful irrational monster in the wild right now, and it's normal.
Therapeutic needles, jets, pacemakers...... Not...... It's OK.
Radiant crystal, compressed concrete, optical fiber, reinforced steel, plexiglass...... Is the Chaldeans just destroyed and needs to be rebuilt?
Matthew made his way to the house, cleaned the cap, and stopped in front of a power armor.
Ryunosuke glanced at the thing, and knew why Matthew had taken a fancy to it, heavy, rugged, sturdy, reliable, and with a giant shield of equal height next to it, it was very compatible with Matthew's duty of "guarding".
However, just looking at the five-digit price, even if Matthew packed all the caps of Fuyuki, it would not be enough at all.
"Go back and let [] make me a smaller set of ......," Matthew reluctantly left the armor.
Silence again? Ryunosuke frowned and was thinking, but was quickly attracted by some kind of dΓ©jΓ vu voice and looked up.
Boom Boom Boom β
The clouds in the sky cracked a huge opening, and a blazing white light bloomed from it and spread out in the field of vision at an extremely high speed.
It was the roar of a huge cone of light breaking through the clouds, and the "female version of King Arthur" that Ryunosuke had not yet touched launched the [Spear of Glory in the Distance] against this mountain city!
The reason why she can't see the shape of the light cone is because that's what she's targeting!
The pedestrians and shops scattered in an instant, and each found a cellar to get intoβthough it was questionable how a cellar that wasn't deep enough could do anything under an attack of this scale.
In addition to being shocked, Ryunosuke also had the leisure to think that this matter was actually quite reasonable, if the servants who were summoned by Alaya to deal with her gathered together, then if that "Camelot" had a monitor on the two forces of the two sides, he would definitely launch an attack in order to kill it once and for all.
Zha Bang β
"[Hand over the head!] γβ
With the old man's disappointment, the location called "Temple", which was actually a "refuge" halfway up the mountain, suddenly rose with a snowy sword light, and its dazzling degree even exceeded that of the falling "light cone", and it was extremely easy to cut it in two.
The giant cone of light paused in mid-air, then burst open, as if there was a second sun thereβoh no, there was no "first sun" here.
The tin houses and guardrail walls of the mountain city were swayed by the ensuing storm.
"She's ignoring the many inhabitants here?" The westward traveler who followed the shopping was extremely annoyed: "If she dares to come again, the poor monk will use the palm technique that collapsed the Five Elements Mountain to knock her away!" β
Thinking about it darkly, it can't rule out the possibility of the moral kidnapping of the mountain and Ramses II, but now it's the King Arthur who does it first, so she can only be out.
By the way, did you just hear some amazing history?
ββ[What sword mountain and sea of fire ~ What trap tricks ~] ββ
"Boom!"
Before Ryunosuke could say anything, the "sun" in the sky had disappeared, revealing not gray clouds, but a cone of light formed by the second "Spear that shines in the distance".
Treasure in a row?
Ryunosuke subconsciously clenched the hilt of his sword and looked at the blade, and found that the eleven stars were dim and dark, and there was no posture that the unsealing allowed him to use.
"[Heheheha! γβ
Ramses laughed from the other side of the vault.
At the same time, a large blue translucent pyramid enveloped the entire mountain city, and headed straight for the gun-marked light cone.
Squeak squeak - pong!
After the two sides made contact, with the piercing friction sound, the contact surface stirred up a series of escaping currents in all directions, and finally the two sides disappeared together.
"Boom!"
Before the electricity had dissipated in the air, another unusually dazzling cone of light descended from the clouds with a majestic majesty.
Triple Shot...... The jokes that Ryunosuke wanted to make were all stuck in his mouth.
This time, there was no sound coming from the Vault.
"Don't worry, senior, as one of the Knights of the Round Table, this shield will definitely be able to block the attack." Matthew took two steps forward with his shield.
"Hmm......" Lin Hao began to throw the dagger made of Yade back and forth.
"Wait! There must be another way! For a direct attack, how could the leaders of those two forces not have a few more plans? Yard exclaimed.
"......" Lin Hao, or the Hassan girl who possessed her, ignored Yard's suggestion, and just raised her hand and shook it in the void, pulling out a short dagger that was crystal clear and completely transparent.
At this moment, dozens of Hassan phantoms with completely different heights, shortness, fatness and thinness floated out from many shops and houses, approaching Lin Hao, merging, and the dagger continued to solidify and bloom with an icy blue brilliance in the process.
But the speed of fusion of the light that stinged the eyes just by seeing it was insufficient, and it was too late to complete it in comparison.
The speed at which the light cone landed did not become faster, but combined with the coverage that covered the sky and the sun, people couldn't help but feel desperate, and Matthew and the Westwalker were ready to strike at any time.
At this time, a young man's voice came from the other side of town:
"[O holy Lord of the sun, Creator of the stars and the moon, please witness this behavior of mineβ]"
Poof, the dagger in Lin Hao's hand disappeared in an instant, and she herself began to transform into Illya, who had changed onceβno, wait? Is Illya this tall?
Lin Hao finally became a woman whose clothing style was very similar to "Heroic Illya", but she looked like an adult regardless of her height and momentum.
She was holding a golden cup in her hand, and chanted a short bar before the man over there continued to pray:
"[O White Grail, Sing of Grail!] γβ
[-Stella!] γβ
In the next moment, the brilliant meteor rising in the opposite direction collided with the blazing white cone that reached through the sky, and the violent explosion produced at low altitude almost completely destroyed the ground buildings of the entire mountain castle, and the only thing left was the young man on the other side of the town, in tattered clothes, staring at Ryunosuke and his party.
