Joshua follows Byron and Geraint to Floating City. Eliade infused her goggle magic into Jona's magic crystal. As long as they are able to reach Partha's Vault, they can use the Magic Crystal to restore some fragments of Parsa's use of dark magic in the Vault.

Since the Eka family's men and horses were about to form a siege with Roger and Haig's coalition forces to form a siege of Floating City, Parsa ordered the two knights of the White Dragon and the Red Dragon to each hold one of the directions, preventing the two groups from joining forces. Parsa's own Black Dragon Knights and the rebels of the Golden Dragon Knights led by Bolton held their positions in the east to prevent the two armies from advancing eastward. Therefore, it will be very difficult for Byron and the others to re-infiltrate Floating City. They must first make their way through the main battlefield, then face the layers of martial law floating city, and finally infiltrate the city. Of course, the only good news is that Parsa often has to leave the floating city to direct the battle on the front line, and although the guards outside the floating city are very strong, the palace hall will not be too many. And that secret passage leads to the Great Hall of Light inside the palace, although the last time Byron investigated the body of the Holy King Roy, it had already alarmed Parsa. However, Parsa did not find a way for them to infiltrate the palace for a long time.

Byron and Geraint return to Floating City with Joshua. This time Joshua didn't want to follow them, but Geraint built yì, once Parsa's crime was revealed, all the defenders in the floating city except for the Black Dragon Knights would definitely defect, and there was no need to worry about Joshua's safety. Even if the situation changes, they can choose to retreat to the Temple of Light and cooperate with the rebellious royal army to resist. The most important point is that they have the source of the Holy Light, and Parsa will not be able to help them even if he waives his troops back to the division to rescue them for a while. After all, Joshua is still the nominal supreme symbol of the kingdom of Reims.

The three of them re-disguised themselves with Jona's transformation magic potion, took some necessities and set off from Star City. They wanted to take advantage of the twilight to avoid the enemy's cross-examination and cross the position. Along the way, there were broken chariots and the hooves of the wheels and hooves of the army passing by. Some of the tattered flags lay diagonally in the dirt, fluttering slowly in the breeze. It's just that because of the night, it is impossible to see which side of the military flag it is.

In order to avoid the sentry, the three tried to avoid the flat road and chose the rugged path to move forward. Sometimes the enemy camp was not far from them, and the camp fire was sparkling and stood out in the night. Byron and Gerant, after all, have been on the battlefield for a long time, and this kind of cross-border operation has been practiced many times. Even in a war of this magnitude, they were able to evade enemy patrols with great ability. Soon, they came to the forest not far from Floating City. The Floating City is a suspended castle with only a few long, winding ramps below leading to the city gates. Since the war has begun, the Holy Light Barrier has been open.

"Uncle Geraint, we're coming from the west this time, and the road is very different from the north!" Joshua whispered in the woods.

"Well, once you've passed through the woods, you'll be completely away from the camp's sentry posts, but beware of the defenders of Floating City coming out to patrol the night. Geraint responded, "They usually only go back and forth on the ramp, after all, Floating City is protected by the Holy Light Barrier. ”

"But it's not good to leave the woods now, the gates of Floating City must be closed at night, and no one will be allowed to enter. Joshua said, "We must stay until the day......

"Rest in the woods tonight. Byron said, "There is a problem, this forest used to belong to the royal garden. My brother and I often come here to hunt, and there are so many animals in the forest that we don't know if we can sleep soundly. ”

"Since it's a hunting forest, the most powerful beast is the bear, right? Usually the lions are in the savannahs southeast of Isaro, and the tigers are in the woods between the emerald forests and the permafrost tundra, so we don't have to worry. "Geraint doesn't care.

"His Majesty the King is with us, so everyone must be cautious. Don't let this seem like a trivial problem happen to you. "Byron was as cautious as ever.

"Then I'll go around and see if there's any danger. If that's not a problem, let's just spend the night here!" said Geraint, drawing his sword and tapping on the branches of the trees that stood in the way ahead, alertly observing the movement around him.

Not long after Geraint left, there was a sudden sound of rustling in the woods. Byron suddenly became alert: "It seems that there are unclean things in the woods." He quickly drew his sword to keep Joshua in his back.

"Hehe, isn't it a wild bear, I'm good enough to handle it. Joshua said with a smile. He apparently thought that this kind of enemy of Cheng dù, and everyone did not need to protect him too much.

But Joshua's estimate was clearly wrong, and the noise in the woods was very strange. It was a bit like the sound of a viper sticking out its tongue, and a bit like the sound of the dark magic residue on the corpse of the Holy King, and this sound was closing in on them. Coupled with the darkness of the forest at night, Byron could only judge the enemy's position by ear.

"Why do I find the atmosphere in the woods so oppressive and terrifying? Sweat began to form on Joshua's forehead, "I wonder if Uncle Geraint is in danger." ”

"Your Majesty, protect yourselves. Suddenly, Byron raised his saber and the golden aperture radiated from his body again, and he seemed to sense that the enemy was approaching.

"Right here, Your Majesty, get behind me. Byron waved his head to his right hand without looking back, and suddenly there was a clear popping sound. Due to the effect of the aura of vindictiveness, Byron and Joshua's surroundings were instantly lit up, and a terrifying figure instantly came into their eyes. It is a black monster that looks like a lion, but it doesn't look like a real thing, but it looks like a black light and shadow coming together.

"Why does this monster look so familiar?" Joshua thought the lion-shaped monster was familiar.

"Isn't this the flaming lion you encountered on the second layer?" Joshua quickly remembered his previous experience. However, this monster was only shaped like a flaming lion, with only a pair of hollow eyes on its face, and no lion's bloody mouth, completely shrouded in darkness. And the lion's mane burned silently in the night like a black flame.

"I don't know what kind of monster it is, but I sense that this black mass contains a great evil power. "Byron was on the lookout.

The black monster resembles a lion, but when it opens its mouth, it can only hiss, and its empty eyes don't know if they can really see each other. However, this does not prevent it from attacking Byron.

"Hiss", the black ** thing quickly rushed towards the two, it shook its head, and the black "mane" suddenly turned into a silk black thread and continued to wrap around Byron and Joshua, like a flame rising upward, and like an octopus's tentacles.

"What is this?" Byron raised his saber and quickly severed the tentacles. However, the broken tentacles can still rise from the "mane" on the monster's head, which is very entangled. Byron stimulated the fighting energy in his body, and suddenly the entire forest shone with golden light, and the long sword wrapped in golden fighting energy quickly swung to cut off all the "tentacles". But soon a new wave of attacks came at them.

"Damn, this time I must get my holy wall back when I go back to Floating City, other swords are too difficult to use. Byron muttered.

"Lord Byron, I'll help you!" Joshua also followed Byron's example to stimulate the fighting spirit in his body, and drew his sword and rushed out. It's just that their repeated slashes are futile under the lion's mane, and the tentacles stretch like black flames.

"We have to find a way to destroy its body, and it's useless to defend it. Byron shouted, "But the monster doesn't look disembodied, so I don't know if the slash will work." ”

As soon as the words fell, Byron rolled on his side on the ground and quickly killed in front of the black **. He stood up, held his sword in both hands, and slashed at the monster's head, and a golden sword light flew out head-on, slashing the monster in half. However, just as what Byron feared happened, the monsters that had been cut in half vertically quickly gathered, and the black flames mixed with the aura of darkness made Byron feel an unprecedented sense of crisis.
