Book 1: Believers in the Light Chapter 9: Beauty and the Beast
The match between Arthur and Norton, the Blue Knight, successfully ignited the atmosphere in the Colosseum, although Arthur was ultimately defeated by Norton, but Arthur was able to hold on to the famous Blue Knight Norton for so long, and was able to cause trouble to Norton, which also made Arthur win the love of the people of Eloda, and Norton defeated other princes, which made the excitement of the audience in the Colosseum even more fierce. For the heroes, people always do not hesitate to praise, enthusiastic cheers, and the Colosseum endures.
Lancelovin III turned his head to look at Duke Hendries and smiled: "Originally, I hoped that our little prince could bring us some surprises, it seems that ginger is still old and spicy." "Hendries is also in a relaxed mood at the moment, Arthur's performance has exceeded his expectations, even if he loses, it is not a shame" His Majesty praised falsely. Arthur still needs more to learn. "It seems that there will be a very powerful king in the kingdom of Ovite. ”
The next few games between Arthur and Norton looked far less interesting than those between Arthur and Norton, but the spectators in the stands still gave a lot of enthusiasm. In the end, in a victory, all eight games this morning came to an end.
In the embassy, Arthur was lying on the bed. Although there was pain, it was not very severe. Looking back on his match with Norton, Arthur felt rewarded. Compared with this competition, the previous training is simply a playhouse, and it seems that after going back, I need to mention it to my father to increase the intensity of my training.
Just as Arthur was still thinking about his future training, the door to the room was suddenly pushed open. Arthur looked at the strange man who came in, a little puzzled. "Are you Arthur Osapangun?" When the man approached, Arthur realized that he was so handsome, like the sun god had come into the world, and his words made Arthur so intoxicated, it was really hard to imagine that a man could make Arthur ashamed of himself.
Arthur hurriedly propped up his aching body, "Yes. May I ask you, my lord?" Elon Age, the Elven King, father of Eve Morningstar. Only then did Arthur realize that the ears of the man in front of him were as sharp as the ears of the elf girl he had seen in that strange space that day.
"Leave my daughter. Arthur looked at Elon Aige, the elven king with an indifferent expression, and was a little confused. "The darkness inside you is stirring, and I don't want to see the Elven Morning Star go because of you. Elon Aige bowed his head to Arthur's ear and whispered, "Forget, sleep." Everything will dissipate when you wake up. As Elon Aige whispered, Arthur's bright eyes became foggy, and finally, Arthur fell asleep on his bed.
Looking at Arthur, who was already asleep in bed, Elon Aige sighed softly, if you can break the shackles of fate cursed by fate. There will be no more beings in this world who can stop you, and the love of your life will return to you. It's just a pity that you are destined to be a prisoner of fate.
Elven King Elon Ai Ge drew a mysterious inscription in mid-air with his right fingertips, and the inscription bloomed with emerald green light, slowly dipping into Arthur's body. After doing all this, Elon Aige drifted away. And after the Elf King left, on Arthur's chest, a ray of light like a morning star flashed on Arthur's chest.
Arthur felt like he had a long dream, and in the dream Riasser saw the elf girl again, and learned her name, Eve Morningstar. Arthur shook his swollen head, and felt that his body was no longer in pain.
It's just that the impression of that dream is getting more and more blurred, and in the end Arthur only remembers one sentence, it was the elf girl who said to herself, don't let yourself forget her. Arthur thought of this, and a tear fell from his eye.
In the afternoon on the stands in the Colosseum, Duke Hendries asked Arthur with concern if he was really unwell, and he didn't need to go back to rest and rest? Arthur said with a smile, he woke up and was completely refreshed, without any pain, Enikante City was really wonderful, and Lancelowen III on the side laughed when he heard Arthur's words.
In fact, for the afternoon game, Arthur should pay the most attention to the match between Gawain the Rose Knight and the troll Kadrin. Although the knight Gawain faced was just an ordinary knight from the Eloda Empire, Arthur had not seen Gawain make a move so far, and Arthur had always been very curious about the strength of this rose knight who was full of kingdoms.
As for the game of the troll Kadrin, Arthur wants to see what kind of performance Kadrin will bring to the audience, and the battle against the troll Kadrin is actually the priest Valkyrie from the Temple of War-Valkyrie. This contest comparable to Beauty and the Beast is probably the biggest attraction of this contest.
Rose Knight Gawain's match was the third in the afternoon, while Kadrin's match against Valkyrie Valkyrie was the last. Fortunately, the wait time was not very long, and the previous two games of the Gawain Knights ended at a very fast pace. So, the knight of Gawain ascended to the high platform amid the cheers of the audience. "I didn't expect this little baby of the Allen family to be so popular, it seems that half of the hearts of the girls in the imperial capital have been hooked by him. Crown Prince Elos chuckled. "I don't know which lady would be so lucky to marry this rose knight. The Prime Minister on the side, Earl Johnson, also laughed.
The Gawain knight on the high platform bowed elegantly to the surrounding stands, and was immediately warmly cheered by the audience. And in the wave after wave of cheers, Gawain defeated his opponent cleanly. Arthur in the stands didn't see how Gawain defeated his opponent. "How? do you feel the gap?" asked Duke Hendris, who was sitting next to Arthur. I believe that if the Blue Knight Norton is against the Gawain Knight, he will only be able to hold on to a few moves. I didn't expect Knight Gawain to have such superb martial arts!" Arthur sighed. "As far as I know, our Rose Knight can fight a ghost leopard at your age. I wonder if you'll be able to break off the roses without stinging your hands!" said Duke Hendris. "Uncle, have you forgotten that I have joined the Holy See and cannot inherit the throne!" Arthur began. "It's not impossible to break the rules set by the ancestors!Brother Wang has high hopes for you, you can't let Brother Wang down!" Duke Hendries said in a deep voice. Arthur was silent about this, and some things could only be understood when they actually came.
Maybe it's because the Gawain Knights ended the game too quickly, which made the audience a little unhappy. When Gawain exited, there were only sporadic cheers. In this regard, Gao Wen had no choice but to smile helplessly, it seems that a too chic ending is not a good thing.
The next few games were decent, although they were also exciting, but they did not completely ignite the excitement of the audience. As time goes on, the biggest attraction of the day, the Battle of Beauty and the Beast, has finally arrived.
Kadrin was still the same as yesterday, dressed in heavy armor, which set off his body even more majestic. Yesterday, because it was a cavalry duel, Kadrin didn't take his own weapon, and today Arthur saw that Kadrin was holding a giant axe, looking at the axe face that was about the size of his upper body, Arthur couldn't help but feel worried about Valkyrie. Compared to the aura of a wild beast brought by the opponent, the impact brought by Valkyrie Valkyrie was pitiful. She was dressed in the same way as Arthur, holding a shield in her left hand and a sword in her right, and she was dressed in gold armor and was imposing.
Kadrin stared at Valkyrie with a foul face, and Valkyrie was expressionless, even as Kadrin growled at her.
But the spectators were ignited by Kadrin's roar, shouting and shouting, as if to vent their inner passions. "Stupid mortals. At this time, Valkyrie Valkyrie was a little moved, she held the golden sword and pointed at Kadlin: "Those who blaspheme will be punished!" and Kadlin's seemingly fierce eyes showed a trace of cunning at this moment, and he roared fiercely at Valkyrie again, and the axe handle in his hand was constantly hitting the ground. When the referee sees that the situation is not good, he doesn't care whether the two sides salute or not, and directly declares the start of the game!
Amid the enthusiastic cheers of the audience, Kadrin's giant axe collided with Valkyrie's golden sword, stirring up a storm. In the face of Kadlin's ferocious attack, Valkyrie did not change his color, the golden sword and shield in his hand, and kept waving to block the attack from Kadrin. On the surface, Valkyrie is currently extremely relaxed, and Kadrain's attack, although fierce, has been easily defused by Valkyrie.
Kadrin Valkyrie you come and go, attack each other, and you don't even take advantage of the slightest. Although the battle was deadlocked, the fierce fight scenes still made the audience happy. Even Lancelowen III in the stands was amazed, saying that the competition was worth it.
After another unsuccessful attack, Kadrin half-crouched on the ground and looked at Valkyrie who was calm and relaxed. Thinking that before he came on the field, the man confessed his affairs, and he must kill Valkyrie in the arena. Kadrin stood up and threw the giant axe in his hand aside, and Kadrin looked at Valkyrie with a sinister smile, and a red light began to glow from his body. Valkyrie's face that had not changed for thousands of years finally had an expression at this moment, Valkyrie held the sword in both hands, and the six wings behind him spread, slowly floating in mid-air, and began to chant softly.
"Stop that troll. Dozens of positions away from Lancelowen III, a hooded man suddenly shouted, and after he finished shouting, he actually recited a spell and flew towards the playing field. Lancelloen III, who had been watching the game easily, saw the change on the field. He glanced at Duke Dupont in disgust and said, "Look at the good house slave you raised!" Duke Dupont also confessed again and again, with a bitter face. The other great nobles of the Eloda Empire in the stands also had a great change in their expressions at this moment.
Although it is forbidden for participants to use fighting spirit, it is not forbidden for them to have their own abilities. After all, there are very few people in Elda who have abilities. However, even people with special abilities rarely use martial arts competitions, after all, martial arts competitions are basically held to celebrate a certain festival, and the meaning of adding to the fun is greater. It's the first one like Kadrin who directly uses his own racial talent to go crazy and ignore the rules of the game, especially now that there is someone who doesn't know who directly intervenes in the game, and doesn't take the Eloda royal family in his eyes at all.
Kadrin, who was on the field, looked at the more and more blood on his body, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and roar, he felt that he wanted to tear all the creatures in front of him apart at this moment, especially the obnoxious Valkyrie.
Kadrin kicked his feet the ground, and his body vanished. In the next second, Kadrin had appeared in front of Valkyrie, a fist as big as a casserole, carrying a thick blood qi and rushing straight to Valkyrie's face. Valkyrie didn't panic either, and just as Kadrin's fist was about to smash into Valkyrie's face, a shield of light stood in front of Valkyrie. "Bang" Kadrin's attack not only had no effect on Valkyrin, but he was also catapulted far away.
Kadrin, who had landed on the ground and had been gliding for a long distance, grinned and licked his lips with his tongue, then stood up. At this moment, the blood surrounding Kadrin's body became thicker, like a layer of armor wrapping Kadrin.
The hooded man who flew from the stands to the arena shouted to Valkyrie, "Valkyrie, you must kill that troll quickly." He went so far as to give his soul to Behemoth, the Lord of Chaos. Valkyrie didn't seem to hear the hooded man's shout, and she looked down at Kadrin on the high platform, the golden sword in her hand shining brightly. A fierce sword aura slashed towards the high platform from mid-air. Like tofu, the high platform was directly split in half by the sword qi, leaving a huge crack on the ground.
The hooded man looked at Kadrin, who was nowhere to be seen on the ground, and his heart was a little relieved. Since Valkyrie has taken action against Kadrin, he just needs to protect His Majesty the Emperor. Thinking of this, the hooded man flew back to the high platform, and the royal guards beside Lancelovin III saw the hooded man flying over, and immediately felt like a great enemy. But Lancelovin III waved his hand, motioned for the guards to push down, and then said to the hooded man, "Mel, what is going on?" After the hooded man fell into the stands, he took off his hood, and then knelt down on one knee in front of Lancelovin III and said: "Your Majesty, that Kadrin did not simply go berserk, but sacrificed his soul to Behemoth, the Lord of Chaos. Although I don't know why Kadrin did this suddenly, there is a Valkyrie on the scene, and I believe that Kadrin will be taken down soon. Hearing Mel say this, Lanceloven III turned his head to look at Duke DuPont who was standing aside, and Duke DuPont had recovered from his initial shock. Although Kadrin was born into the Dupont family, he broke away from the Dupont family since Kadrin became a knight. It's just that Kadrin is from the Dupont family after all. Although DuPont Duke Clauren DuPont was helpless, he had no choice but to bow forward and reply: "Your Majesty, Knight Kadrin, may be eager to win. After all, he had the blood of a barbarian, and he thought that after indoctrination, he would eliminate the barbarian nature in Kadrin's body, but he didn't expect it...... As a matter of urgency, the minister believed that the guards should be sent to take Kadrin and wait for his arrival. ”
When Lancellowen III heard Duke Dupont's reply, he didn't pay attention to it, but asked the mage Mel, "Mel, is there someone behind this Kadrin's sudden madness?" Mel glanced at Duke Dupont, who was sincerely afraid, sighed in his heart, and then said: "Your Majesty, the reason for Kadrin's sudden madness this time can only be understood after Kadrin is taken down. "Really?" Lancelovin knew it was useless to pursue the problem now, "Ogodfrey, you go and take down Kadrin and fix the law on the spot." "Yes, Your Majesty," said Ogofrey Marwel, the Chief of the Royal Guard, standing behind Lancelovin III. "Flower, take care of the people of the family, and the martial arts competition is stinky by the flies, ruining the fun!" With that, Lancelovin III turned around and left the stands.
But when Lanceloven III and his party were about to leave the stands, the originally silent jousting arena underwent a surprising change. Valkyrie, who was still imposing, was choked by Kadrin's neck, and the six wings behind her were now missing the left half. Valkyrie's hair is disheveled and his armor is shattered. The golden sword and golden shield in his hand had also been shattered into several pieces. And Kadrin's back demon wings stood in the air.
For a moment, all the spectators, including Lancelovin III in the stands, were stunned. Mel never thought that Valkyrie would be defeated by Kadrin, and at this moment, where does Kadrin still have the appearance of a human, and he is alive and well as a demon from hell!
Just when everyone was still shocked by the changes in the arena, the statue of the god of war that had been standing in the center of Enikante suddenly shook, and the majestic voice of the god of war resounded in the hearts of every audience in the Colosseum. Kill Kadrin at all costs, and never allow Kadrin to commit blasphemous.
It's just that it's too late, Kadrin smirked and glanced at the statue of the god of war that had stood for eternity, and then the fanged bloody mouth bit directly into Valkyrie's snow-white neck. Valkyrie, whose neck was bitten, only trembled and was no longer alive.
Arthur looked at the blasphemous scene of Kadrin in mid-air, and a picture suddenly appeared in his heart. The image seemed to be so deep in his mind, so clear that Arthur felt like he was there. On the terrifying and eerie walls of the ancient castle, a demon was nailed to the wall by a burning giant sword, and the wings of the hero who turned away slowly turned black.
Arthur looked up again and saw Kadrin, who was constantly sucking Valkyrie's blood, and Arthur felt that he was Kadrin at that moment, and he was sucking Valkyrie's golden blood. That wonderful feeling made Arthur sink. Just as Arthur's eyes were blurred and he reached out to touch it, an emerald inscription suddenly appeared on Arthur's chest, and a soft green light enveloped Arthur's body. Moments later, Arthur fell unconscious.
It's just that everyone's attention is on the transformation of the Kadrin and the God of War idol in mid-air, only Mel noticed Arthur's change, but Mel didn't think much about it, just thought that the Ovite Kingdom carved an inscription for Arthur to resist evil energy.
Kadrin in mid-air finally sucked up Valkyrie's golden blood, and at this moment, Kadrin was one step closer to the image of the demon. Originally, Kadrin only had bat wings on his back, but now Kadrin is a firstborn demon with two horns, and his body exudes blood-colored flames.
Kadrin casually threw Valkyrie's corpse, then aimed at the statue of the god of war in the center of Enikante. And Lancelovin III in the stands, they finally came to their senses. Looking at the blood-colored figure in the sky, Lancelovin III did not hesitate at all. He directly ordered Ogofrey to lead the Royal Guard to kill Kadrin at all costs before he could reach the Ares Statue. At the same time, Mel was ordered to return to Iga Delta and have the Archmage Gondolf Atwell come and assist the Royal Guard in killing Kadrin.
At this moment, the huge imperial machine of the Eloda Empire began to work frantically in order to kill the demon Kadrin.
