Chapter 174: The Price of Victory

Yulia looked at the huge explosion marks she had created with her own hands in disbelief, and with her as the center, the ground around her for kilometers was shattered.

This is a great force she never imagined, and the results achieved are unprecedented. In front of the heraldic sword-style "Lion King" she used, the Black Demon Ape Legion that had just chased her to a desperate situation was wiped out.

Because the explosion came so suddenly, even the king hidden in this black demon ape army didn't have time to react, and was blown to pieces along with his subordinates.

But before Yulia could celebrate the belated victory, a heart-rending pain swept through her body.

The body is so hot, so hot.

Like the pain of having horns in your head, like the pain of spreading your wings on your back, like the pain of sticking out of your hands and feet, like the pain of something eating your body.

The magic flowing through her body seemed to turn into red-hot iron, and crawled through her body like a centipede with its fangs spread. The nerves are more delicate and sensitive than usual, and the misery they encounter is more cruel than usual.

It hurts! It hurts! Yuria, who had suffered a lot of injuries under the pursuit of the black demon ape, fell down, and the Primordial Sword in her hand fell weakly to the ground.

The hands and feet were already disobedient, and something was spreading from their bodies, and it was a very strange feeling.

Majestic, proud, furious, this aura is devouring her body, making her ego disappear little by little. She wanted to resist such erosion, but the attack just now had consumed all her strength.

Unable to do anything, Yulia could only watch as this power completely took over her body, and then began to change her body little by little.

When this process was over, Yuria knew what she had to pay for using the legendary sword technique of the extremely difficult Embledic Sword Style. The way she looks now is the punishment for her delusional attempt to master this legendary sword technique with a shallow understanding.

Sure enough, if you want to get something, you must give something, this is the truth of the world, the eternal and unchanging law of equivalence.

"Ulysses, brother. In front of Yuria, whose eyes were gradually blurring, the last thing that appeared was the gentle smile of Ulysses.

............ "Come here one by one, you don't have to worry about it, let's all go up together!" Holding the platinum holy sword in her hand, the princess stepped on the mountain of black demon ape corpses, and her body emitted a platinum light that was more dazzling than the sun.

She couldn't quite remember how she had come to this strange world, but she did remember the sword in her hand and her oath clearly.

In that oath, there was a vague shadow. She couldn't understand why her memories were so vague, but there was no doubt about one thing. That vague shadow is a very important person to her.

She wants to be king. She has this feeling, as long as she reaches that realm, she will definitely be able to clearly remember who that vague shadow is and what it means to her.

Therefore, she stepped on the corpses of this group of black demon apes and declared her faith with the platinum holy sword in her hand.

"Heha, nice human, but you're doomed to defeat, just ...... me" All the leaders of the Black Ape Legion seem to like to give their names.

"Who wants to listen to your nonsense!" The princess, enraged by her chaotic memory, raised the platinum holy sword in her hand, and a huge light appeared between heaven and earth.

"Slash!" The white gold light pierced the earth, and with a single blow, the Black Demon Ape Legion Leader evaporated before he could report his name.

"Slash, slash, slash!" the princess continued to swing her sword, and after losing that part of her memory, her mood became more and more unstable.

But on the contrary, she is becoming more and more anxious about her lack of physical strength. The desire for power, the desire to change everything, and the mood to obtain everything, is in line with the essence of the platinum holy sword, "emperor".

So she got stronger, stronger and more determined than ever before.

And in other gardens of struggle, there are also different people, for different desires and goals, fighting in a bloody and brutal battlefield.

"Hahaha!" The bloody sword harvested the lives of countless enemies, and it was the wielder of the ghost sword who turned all that fear and resentment into his own strength.

Only on this battlefield is he who pursues and kills the enemy, even to the point of torture. The world of blood and flesh is the favorite world of the Hades Sword, and as the holder of this sword, the appearance of "Hades" is a little older than when he was in the underground world.

That was the best proof of his growing power, a powerful demon body he had built with his blood.

Faphnir shook the rattle in his hand with his left hand, and activated the special ability of the Thunder Light Demon Sword with his right hand, directing a large number of black demon apes to line up in an "S" shape at once, and then a "B" shape at once, and then tap dance with one foot.

"No, no, the posture is wrong, be more proactive, be more enthusiastic. "Faphnir, who used the magic sword thunder light and magic sound sword to smash all the black demon ape legions, tirelessly pointed at these mentally confused big guys and corrected their mistakes.

"That's it, one, two, three, start again!" As an example, Faphnir himself was dancing.

Compared to the unsightly black demon ape army, Faphnir's slender waist and slender legs were clearly as beautiful as a fairy, and the two green ponytails fluttered with her dance, as light and cheerful as intertwined ribbons.

The king who hid in the Black Demon Ape Legion with his other companions burst into tears, who is the "king" of this legion!

After a few hours, the Black Demon Ape King, who had jumped to his leg cramps, was humiliated, and took advantage of the gap between Faphnir's halftime to resolutely activate the "self-detonation" command with the highest priority, and left the field with all his subordinates.

"Ah, why did it blow up all of a sudden, I still want to keep practicing!" Faphnir bit his finger and decided to come back the next time he came to this interesting place. (By the way, her first battlefield was the exact same way to deal with all the Black Devil Dogs...... Forcibly added by the elders to the task of observing the follow-up phenomena of the large-scale spiritual magic cast by Zelda City, she was left with only this place to entertain.

In the other gardens of struggle, there were several chosen ones who fought desperately, some of whom won and some of whom lost.

Only those who have a strong desire to awaken the power of the "sword" they have, or who are already strong enough in their own right, are qualified to continue this war. And those who have failed will no longer appear in this garden of struggle.

However, among these many battlefields, there is one that is completely different and different from any battlefield.

"You...... You...... You are!" As the king who leads the entire Black Demon Ape Legion, the Black Demon Ape King himself has quite a high level of intelligence, and at the same time, they have the three combat talents of "Command Tower", "Earth Cracking" and "Demon Armor", and they are powerful war weapons in themselves.

And this one is the strongest of these Black Demon Ape Kings. In addition to the three powerful talents of "Command Tower", "Earth Cracking" and "Demon Armor", it also has an additional mutated talent "War Aura".

This is a powerful talent that can increase the overall strength of its subordinates within a kilometer of it by 30%, and it is the most suitable group skill for warfare. The Black Demon Ape Legion it led was undoubtedly the strongest one in the War Garden that appeared this time.

However, this legion of black demon apes that can be called the "strongest", including the king of this legion, has opened its war aura to the largest black demon ape king, and now all of them are unable to move due to great fear.

This doesn't make sense, because the Black Demon Ape Legion, which was created as a tool of war, should not have feelings similar to fear. Unless it's a terrifying magic sword like the "Ghost Sword" that directly spreads that despair into their hearts, or Faphnir's Thunder Magic Sword that indulges them, they rarely think about anything other than fighting.

However, at this moment, the army of black demon apes was indeed all in "endless fear". It was a shiver that was so deep in the marrow that it was impossible for a living creature to be immune to, even beyond the absolute command of the people who made them to "ignore fear".

If this is the ability of a powerful magic sword, it may also be explained, and if it is the Thunder Light Demon Sound Sword held by Faphnir, it should be reluctant to do such a thing.

But the man who caused this fear did not have a sword in his hand.

The sword was now stuck diagonally on the ground next to it. It was a long, thin, silvery-white spiral sword that was almost more than a man tall. At the very tip of the blade, the spiral-shaped blade was as small as the tip of a needle, so sharp that you could feel the stinging pain just by looking at it. On the body of the spiral sword, inscribed is the text of a certain race, telling an ancient and sad story.

This man did not use the power of this sword. She stood quietly in the ruins of an ancient city wall, the vicissitudes of the wall shadowing her face, making it impossible to see her clearly, only her tall figure and beautiful long hair.

After ten minutes or so of this anomalous silent terror, she slowly opened her eyes, which were unusually old, even more vicissitudes than the city she was in. However, unlike the ruins, which had lost all their life, there was a strong longing in these eyes, the flames that had to be burned for something.

It was a pair of azure eyes.

"Wow, ahhh

There is no need for the power of the "sword" at all, those eyes are enough to destroy everything.

"Click!click!" The entire Black Demon Ape Legion, the entire city, and even the entire world that made up the Garden of Struggle began to crumble and shatter.

That's the power of the "magic eye".

At this point, the garden of this round of struggle is over.

............ "It hurts!" Ulysses blinked, saw the familiar view of the canyon, and I don't know when, it was already dawning.

The warm breeze of the early morning in summer, the warm breeze is gentle, the sun is warm, the green woods are swaying with the wind, the edges of the leaves reflect the faint golden light, and thousands of pieces are swaying and undulating, like a series of dancing gold threads.

Above the trees, a semi-bright rainbow in an arc is emitting a seven-colored soft light, symbolizing that it will be a peaceful and vibrant day.

Ulysses rose from under the tree, then spun around and fell again. The aftermath of the typhoon in that garden of struggle is still not gone, and now he looks like he is spinning in circles.

It took an hour for Ulysses to get used to the disgusting sensation and staggered out of the canyon.

The morning dew fell through the grass, and a few little rabbits ran merrily through the swarf bushes, completely oblivious to Ulysses, who walked crookedly. It didn't seem like even the most timid little thing would be afraid of him.

"Head...... Broken ......" Ulysses, who had hit a tree in the woods for an unknown number of times, struggled back to his home, looking like a bad guy who came home after a hangover.

"Yulia, are you there?" Ulysses, despite his terrible health, knocked on the door of his sister's room. Because Yuria's body often heats up, he comes every morning to check her temperature and make a plan for the day.

A regular life is a qualified life, which is Ulysses's law of life. And it has become common sense for him to decide the plan for the day based on his sister's physical condition.

Without answering, Ulysses looked at Yuria's room a little strangely, then reached out and pushed the door open.

Julia's room was a girly pink hue, with some cloth dolls placed on the table, and the room was very clean and could be seen to be well organized, not at all on the same level as Ulysses' cluttered room.

However, on the far right side of the room, there is an item that is out of step with the girlish atmosphere. It was a wooden figure used to practice swordsmanship, and the wooden figure had left dense traces on it, which would only have traces after countless years of practice.

"Isn't there?" Ulysses looked at the bed with nothing in a strange way, and in general, Yulia was resting well at this time. Due to her frail and sickly relationship, waking up early is not a good thing for her, and when the sun is more abundant and warmer, it is the right time for her to get up.

This is the same for Yufie's mother, the two are really the same in terms of physique, and even their surnames are very similar. As for the father, Ulysses would rarely see him. In this home, his presence is unusually thin. In Ulysses' memory, his face was so vague that it was almost impossible to remember.

He was a retired knight who would often go out to do something and bring something back. The relationship between him and his mother looks strange to Ulysses, more like a friend than a lover. Ulysses probably only has these impressions of his father's memory, and he can't even remember what he looked like.

The family seems to have long been accustomed to this kind of relationship, whether his father is there or not (most of the time he is almost absent, and even if he is rarely seen), Ulysses will take good care of his mother and sister. Aunt Lana next door also came to take care of them, and the two families were actually almost one family.

Therefore, Ulysses values his sister more than anyone else, and her sister's illness is actually more serious than that of his mother, and there are signs of deterioration. For this reason, he set his ambition early on and wanted to become a priest.

"Where will Yuria go at this time?" Ulysses looked around, then found a small note on the table in the room.

"Brother, I'll go out for a walk alone, please take good care of my friend. The words on the note are a little crooked, and the thickness is a little strange, it doesn't look like Yulia's words, but the hand-in-hand pattern drawn at the end is indeed Yulia's favorite mark, and it should be hers.

"Going out for a walk alone, it seems that Yulia is in good health today. After seeing the note left for him, Ulysses was relieved that his lovely sister would not lie to him.

However, what does it mean to "please take good care of my friend"? Yulia doesn't have many friends, and she doesn't usually need him to take special care of her, so she wrote it out to ask him to pay attention to something?

"Meow!" As Ulysses was confused by the words, a hairy head peeked out from under Yuria's quilt.

"Ah...... That's it...... Yuria's friend?" Ulysses looked at the little thing that crawled out of Yulia's quilt with some surprise, he hadn't heard that she had brought a kitten back to raise it.

Ulysses wiped his eyes, and although he looked like a kitten at first glance, there was a big difference when he looked closely.

Pale yellow silky fur, four round soles, a small tail, and a pair of pale golden eyes, the body curve is far more powerful than that of ordinary cats, although it is still small, the whole body has exuded a trace of the dignity of a king.

Of course, it's more cute, after all, it's just a little guy.

"This ...... This ......" Ulysses felt more and more unbelievable the more he looked at it, this is not the weak and powerless little cutie of a kitten, although it is also very cute, and it is also a feline animal, but this is obviously a little lion!

It crawled out of Yuria's quilt and stretched out, then looked at the frightened Ulysses with pitiful eyes, its big golden eyes full of attachment.
