Chapter Ninety-Six: The New King
The Royals can see through the dark creatures just like Grimm, they are not Grimm, but they can stand up to the powerful dark creatures. In the original plot, a prince was even able to compete with the transformed Renard.
The royal family does not lack strength, but they no longer know how to use their power. Lin Xuan used his last mental power to tear apart the surrounding walls. The entire room was encased in a huge magic circle. It's just that the activation of this magic array requires the blood of the royal family. He couldn't use telekinesis to hurt the old king. As soon as the telekinesis approached the king, it was counteracted by some invisible force.
"With this level of magic array, it is impossible for you to activate it alone. I just don't know how many royal children you have sacrificed? ”
"If you want to know, I can tell you. Four descendants of the royal family died as a result, and they made their part for the family. The old king's tone was already a little shaky.
"They just made sacrifices for you, and I don't think they did it voluntarily."
"There's no room for them to resist in this family." Between the words, an absolutely cold image of the person in power appeared in front of Lin Xuan's eyes. Despite the old king's gray hair and cheeks, Hu looked like a kind old man. But as a king, he still shows his cruel side.
"Hehe, okay. Now you have succeeded in suppressing all of my supernatural abilities. And then what? Are you going to jump out from behind your desk and beat me up? With all due respect, I think you're pretty close. ”
"Hehe, a wizard who has lost all his powers, no one will be afraid of you." The old king said confidently. A group of hounds followed his words and swarmed in, surrounding Lin Xuan and Renard in the middle.
Probably for fear of hurting the surrounding magic array, all the guards were only armed with cold weapons, not guns. It's just that Lin Xuan smiled when he saw this.
"Think about it again, Your Majesty. Are you ignoring something? Why do you think you're the only one with your hole cards? ”
"There's no point in procrastinating, wizard. You will pay with your life for offending royalty. ”
Just when all the soldiers were about to rush forward to tear Lin Xuan to pieces. Lin Xuan made a move that no one could imagine. With great speed, he pulled out a dagger and slashed his wrist.
"Maybe you don't know, blood magic, I know a little bit about it." Some kind of gloomy and obscure spell came out of Lin Xuan's mouth. The hounds around them suddenly felt an indescribable pain. Most spells may not have power on their own. However, spells recited in the language of some outer space, combined with the caster's own blood, can still achieve certain magical effects.
The hounds around him only felt that their blood was about to boil. The feeling of being about to explode made them take a knife and stab themselves in the body. More blood gushed out. Under Lin Xuan's feet, a strange pattern was formed. Unlike the absolute perfect pentagon of the past, this is a distorted and dark asymmetrical figure that feels evil at first glance.
"Haven't used this spell since I performed it. Know that almost all blood magic is a spell that is extremely evil. At least with my knowledge, I haven't found normal blood magic yet. So my original intention was just to use them as a reference. It's just that it looks like today, it's necessary to test it yourself. ”
The magic array under his feet continued to twist and flow, and some kind of dark power quickly emanated. That's a negative corrosive force. Everything around them began to rot and fester, under this power. The walls, tables and chairs seem to have passed hundreds of years in an instant, and they have become mottled.
What terrified the old king the most was that the magic circle buried in the walls was also affected in the same way. The oppressive power of the royal bloodline rapidly declined under this corrosive force. The magic array under Lin Xuan's feet was flowing faster and faster, and began to roll continuously, as if something was squeezing out. It's just that at this time, Lin Xuan suddenly stopped the spell.
"One of the most annoying things about these blood magic spells is that you often only control the first half of the cast. So, I won't show the second half. Since the power of suppression had been weakened to the extreme, Lin Xuan directly used magic to burn the magic array under his feet. The smell of corruption around him suddenly vanished. However, the hounds around them have all been killed. The old king has lost his last card.
"Before I came, I was expecting a little surprise, and to be honest, your surprise was a bit more than I expected. So, I'm giving you a chance that you can choose how you want to die. ”
The old king's face was pale, and the magic just now had drained most of his energy. Lin Xuan suspected that even if Lin Xuan didn't kill him now, he wouldn't be able to live long. To paraphrase traditional Chinese medicine, it is difficult to make up for the serious damage of vitality.
"We can talk and say what you want." The king is still sitting in his last effort. Perhaps there is nothing untradable in his eyes. But in Lin Xuan's opinion, the scene just now was actually enough to threaten Lin Xuan. He realized that he had slackened off in this low-intensity world, so much so that he had put himself in danger. In return, he directly broke the old king's neck in the air, holding all his words in his stomach forever.
There was a small wound on the wrist that the old king always kept under the table. But it seems that some kind of medicine is applied, and the wound never heals.
"Reynard, gather the people in this castle. It's time to announce your return. ”
The whole castle was thrown into chaos. The king died, along with four descendants of the royal family who died in the conflict. Of course, they were sacrificed to death by the old king.
West, the leader of the Contemporary Rebel Army, sensed the arrival of a great change. It's just that he didn't try to make a fortune like everyone else. He was unwilling to lose the power in his hands like this. Thinking of this, West said to his cronies beside him.
"Gather all the nearby rebels and seal off the entire castle. No one is in or out. Eliminate the right people, and bring back those who fled with money. Use all possible forces to keep the castle running. ”
"Why? The king died, and the four nearest princes were all hung up. The royal family is finished. ”
"No, not yet, there is still a prince who is not dead."
When Lin Xuan and Renard walked out of the king's room, West was already waiting outside.
He didn't look at it, and gave a royal salute directly to Renard.
"Your Majesty, there has been chaos in the castle due to the previous conflict, but I have suppressed it all. All stolen finances are in the process of being recovered. Within 24 hours, they were all back at the castle. Now we need your instructions. ”
"Your Majesty? Are you calling me? ”
"Yes, Your Majesty. The king died, and so did the four nearest princes. According to the Emergency Succession to the Throne Act, in order to avoid the royal family falling into chaos. You will inherit the throne with royal blood. Now you are the new king. ”
