Book 1: Believers of the Light Chapter 40: Edward the Demon

A puff of black smoke rose from the blue sky, like cooking smoke. Then four or five more puffs of black smoke rose, obscuring the sky over the entire Valley of the Kings. As if a storm was coming, the whole Valley of the Kings was a feeling of oppression.

Heinrich and Ossad stood in place, unable to do anything about Arthur being snatched away by the bone dragon like an eagle. The people around Ossad and Heinrich only felt that the appearance of the bone dragon was too shocking, and they would react when they suppressed the two adults. Seeing Arthur being captured by the bone dragon and gradually flying to the hill named the Necronomicon by His Majesty the King, Heinrich was the first to react, and before he had time to say hello to Ossad, Heinrich directly chanted a spell and rose to the ground and flew towards the Necronomicon Mountain. Seeing Heinrich take action, Ossad also reacted, and the immediate priority now was not to repel the army of skeletons, but to rush into the Mount of Death to rescue the captured prince Arthur.

"Jerry, Hank, you lead the troops to attack the Skeleton Army array, and I will reach Necronomic Mountain in the shortest possible time. Ossad first gave an order to the two lieutenants beside him, and then turned to the mage troops standing at the back of the King's army and said, "Master Hadre, please don't save your magic and fully support the attack of the King's army." If we can't rush into the Necromantic Mountain this time, we will have to apologize and commit suicide. Although they didn't understand why their commander suddenly gave such an order, looking at Ossad's face, Jerry and Hank already understood that such a change in their commander should be related to the person who had just been captured by the bone dragon.

Hadre was a little displeased to hear Ossad's order, if the mage poured out his magic power with all his might, it could indeed provide powerful firepower, but it would be a disservice to the mage, and the mage would choose such an extreme approach unless it was absolutely necessary. Seeing that Hadray was still a little hesitant, a cold light flashed in Ossad's eyes, and the saber in his hand was directly on Hadrey's neck, and he said in an unkind tone: "Master Hadrey, I am not consulting with you, but ordering." I've already said that if we don't attack the Necromantic Mountain today, we'll all die!"

Seeing Osad's resolute attitude, Hadre understood the seriousness of the matter, but he still couldn't forget the scene, "General Osad, I will tell Master Heinreis the truth about your behavior today." "After today, if we can still live. Master Heinrich won't blame me when he finds out. ”

With Ossad's order, the mages who had reservations no longer retained any magic in their bodies and began to pour out their magic uncontrollably. Countless meteorites fell from the cloud-covered sky, bombarding the fragile skeletons on the ground. For a moment, stones and skeletons were splashed everywhere.

After the bone dragon appeared and captured Arthur, the five Black Warriors at the top of Necronomicon no longer stayed where they were, and began to rush to the battlefield at the foot of the mountain. It's a pity that just after the first black knight rushed into the battlefield and before he could show his strength, a huge meteorite smashed into his face. Swinging the black greatsword in his hand, the silent black warrior wanted to shatter the meteorite. But it was clear that the Black Warrior had overestimated his strength or underestimated the power of the meteorite. "Boom" With a loud bang, the sturdy black warrior was smashed into the ground by the meteorite, and the huge impact brought by the meteorite landing directly lifted the skeleton soldiers around the black warrior into the air.

Not every black warrior is as unlucky as this one, after all, meteorites are indiscriminate attacks. The other four Black Warriors easily dodged the meteorite attack, and they were only a few dozen steps away from the King's Army's array.

"Ready, let go of the arrows. With Jerry's command, the archers who had already prepared released their full bows, and countless arrows left the bowstrings and shot at the Black Knight, who was at the front. The infantry of the King's army, who had escaped from the skeletons, also relined themselves in front of the archers, preparing to follow Hank to attack the Black Knights and the Necronomical Mountain.

The black greatsword in his hand spun like a roulette wheel, slashing the oncoming arrows, and the four black warriors had already rushed to the front of the King's army infantry. Countless dragon spears stretched out from the gaps in the shields of the infantry ranks, and a black warrior couldn't dodge and crashed directly into the dragon lance. However, the black warrior's hard shell made it impossible for the dragon lance to pierce, and the black warrior's thick body directly broke the dragon lance, and then directly crashed into the ranks of soldiers. The other three black warriors were more agile, and although they had already controlled their speed, they still collided with the dragon spear. It's just not as impactful as the first.

Although the black helmet on the surface of his body was punctured, and jet-black blood flowed out, the black samurai did not feel it at all. Directly waved the black big sword in his hand, and instantly smashed the shield in the first row. The Black Knight is the backbone of the Undead Legion, and it was only the first attack that caused the King's army in the front row to lose the sum of the losses in the previous battles.

Ossad, who was standing at the end of the queue, saw the four black knights slaughtering in all directions in the infantry queue, and couldn't help frowning, if these four black knights were allowed to drag the king's army here, would Heinrich alone be able to bring Prince Arthur out. Pulling down the visor on his helmet, Ossad directly burst out with fighting energy, and then with a loud shout, he launched an attack on the four black knights who had killed in all directions. And Jerry and Hank's adjutant saw that their commander had entered the battlefield, and after taking a look at each other, they directly ordered the troops to leave the battle, no longer entangled with the black knights, but began to attack the Necronomicon Mountain.

Inside the dimly lit cavern, several strange monster statues stand on either side of the cavern. The bone dragon that had just taken Arthur away was standing in the shadows of the cave, and two soul fires were burning in the light and darkness. In the very center of the cave there is a stone platform, and on top of the stone platform is a quaint chalice. Above this chalice, a mass of pure darkness creeps. Arthur, who was captured, slept in front of the stone platform.

I don't know how long it took, but Arthur, who was dizzy, woke up. Patting his head, which was still a little headache, Arthur remembered that he had been captured by a huge and terrifying bone dragon, and then he was unconscious and could not remember what happened afterward.

As his mind cleared, Arthur realized that the place he was in was the same cave where he had gone on an adventure with Joseph. Looking at the familiar statue and the pure darkness on the stone platform in the center of the cave, Arthur's body couldn't help but tremble. In the depths of his heart, there seemed to be a cloud of darkness that wanted to pour out, merge with the pure darkness on the stone platform. Arthur tried to control such thoughts, but the more he controlled, the more Arthur could feel the darkness in his heart wanting to well-rise.

"Come on, come on, go hug her. You should not reject your own fate. Descendants of King Arthur. The bewitching voice was like the last force that pushed Arthur into the abyss, and Arthur, who could no longer control his inner thoughts, slowly walked towards the stone platform. Arthur, who had lost himself, did not realize that behind him, the ghost of the martyr Edward floated silently, watching his descendants go to the abyss.

Just as Arthur's hand was about to touch the pure darkness, a loud bang rang out in the cavern. Arthur, whose eyes were confused, was instantly awakened by this loud noise. Seeing that his hand was only an arm's length away from the pure darkness, Arthur hurriedly withdrew his hand. "No," Edward's ghost cried out in despair, not expecting that his centuries-old plan would be accidentally ruined. Edward's ghost turned his face to look at Heinrich who had rushed into the cave with a staff in his hand, "You are looking for death!" Edward's ghost's originally transparent face began to become real at this moment, and at the same time, a pair of demonic horns emerged from Edward's white forehead, and a pair of bat wings spread out behind it. The original ghost has now completely become the form of a demon.

Heinrich, who had just rushed in, had not yet seen the situation in the cave before he felt a vicious wind blowing in his face. In his haste, Heinrich could only raise a protective shield to fend off the attack. "Bang" A huge impact force directly broke the magic shield released by Heinrich in a hurry, and the fist the size of the casserole directly punched Heinrich's soft abdomen. A mouthful of blood spurted out, and Heinrich fell from the top of the cave like a kite with a broken string.

The demon Edward saw that he had already eliminated the man who had interrupted his own plan, and he flew slowly in front of Arthur. Arthur looked at the demon in front of him that he could only see in legends, and his face was frightened. "Don't be afraid, my child. "After Edward floated to the ground, he had reverted back to his original ghostly form. "My offspring, follow me and take the things of your destiny. Edward's voice seemed to have a magical power that could instantly infect Arthur's emotions, and after the ghost Edward finished speaking, Arthur couldn't help but turn around and take the pure darkness.

But before Arthur could turn around, a fireball smashed directly into the back of the ghost Edward. But now Edward is in a ghost state, and although the fireball has caused damage to him, there are very few of them. Edward the Ghost stiffened his turn and looked at Heinrich, who was supposed to be badly wounded, standing behind him unharmed. "Hetoth, I am the servant of the Holy Flame, who burns all the evil before me. As Heinrich's incantation fell, a cloud of red white flames erupted from the staff in Heinrich's hand, enveloping the ghost Edward in an instant.

Although, Arthur was very close to the crimson flames, Arthur did not feel a trace of the hot temperature. When the ghost Edward was burned by the fire flames, Heinrich took the opportunity to fly to Arthur's side, "Your Royal Highness, go quickly!" After saying that, Heinrich wanted to take Arthur out of this strange cave.

It's a pity that it can't be as Heinrich wants. When Heinrich and Arthur tried to leave, the ghost Edward had already broken out of the encirclement of the Holy Flame, and had also turned into the demon Edward, rushing towards the fleeing Arthur and the others.
