Chapter 52: The King's Trial

Perhaps it had never been seen anyone speak to him in such a tone, and Ashley Hill closed her lips and said nothing.

"Presumably Your Majesty has also noticed that the prophecy is indeed correct. Seeing this, Cynthia continued, "This is indeed our destiny. ”

Her tone was so firm that there was no doubt about it.

However, Ashley Hill did not intend to change his mind easily, and after a moment of silence, he spoke again: "Huh...... So, have you ever thought that maybe your destiny is just to send it to this king?"

"What do you mean by that?" Cynthia asked immediately, her face changed.

"Fighting the Magic Eye is no child's play, and it can't be done with courage and prophecy. Ashley Hill said, "If you are willing to give the king the relics you have found, then the king will personally deal with the beast." ”

"I'll leave it to you!?" Cynthia was a little angry, but still forced herself to endure her unhappiness and said, "Why doesn't Your Majesty just want to believe in us and believe in the prophecy?"

"Hmph, this king never believed in any prophecies...... Nonsense!This king only believes in power!" Ashley Hill sneered and said, "You guys can't even handle a few dragons, what can you do to convince this king that you can defeat the Magic Eye?

Even Cynthia has nothing to say now...... Ashley Hill was right, they were already so powerless just in the face of the dragons, and they really didn't have the right to argue with him about who was qualified to control the relics.

The two sides were at a stalemate for a while.

"Huh...... Since you are not obedient, then the king will be extra gracious and give you a chance......" After a moment of silence, Ashley Hill said, "Speak with strength and see who is destined to defeat MONOCULUS......"

"No, do you want to fight him?" Hearing him say this, Alan couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.

Sure enough, Ashley Hill then said, "From now until dark, if you can hurt a single hair of the king, the king will let you go...... Otherwise, you will have to hand over the holy relics in your hands to the king for safekeeping, and then stay here honestly and wait for the king's triumphant return. ”

Several people looked at each other, and they were all silent...... They have seen Ashley Hill's strength, not to mention that they take turns to fight against him, even if they play together, they may not have much chance of winning.

But when you think about it, this seems to be the best outcome...... At the very least, he gave them hope to get out of here.

"Okay, then......" Alan hesitated slightly, but nodded and said, "How are we going to fight?

"Hah, are you despising the king?" said Ashley Hill with a laugh, "and if you go together, the king will be as merciful as possible!"

Perhaps it was Ashley Hill's arrogant attitude that annoyed Cynthia a little, and as soon as he finished speaking, Cynthia raised her wand without hesitation: "That's rude!"

A flash of red lightning burst from the tip of the Staff of Void and headed straight for Ashley Hill's head.

Cynthia's choice to use thunder elemental magic was deliberate. Compared to other types of magic, such as fire elemental magic, thunder magic is faster and more difficult to dodge. She'd seen firsthand how those black holes devoured flames and boulders, so she had figured out what kind of magic she was going to use to attack from the start.

But that still doesn't work. Although the speed of lightning is almost impossible to catch with the naked eye, the black holes can still appear accurately in the path of the lightning, and then "eat" them all......

"I suggest that you better attack with the idea of killing this king, otherwise you may not be able to hurt this king even if you have more time. Ashley Hill folded his arms over his chest with a relaxed expression. Even in front of five people at the same time, he seemed so at ease.

When Frey and Alyssa heard this, they each pulled out their wands and joined Cynthia in besieging Ashley Hill.

For a time, the whole garden was full of strong winds, fires, lightning and thunder.

In order to ensure that their magic could accurately hit the target, Frey also deliberately grabbed Ashley Hill's feet with the Hands of Earth. But Ashley Hill was obviously able to avoid the shackles of the Earth Wrist, but he only glanced at the tentacles that were slowly forming on the ground, and still stood motionless, as if he had not intended to move a step.

In this way, nearly half an hour passed, and several people tried all the magic, but all of them were dissolved by those black holes without exception...... They seem to have consciousness of their own, they don't need anything to do with Ashley Hill, and whenever danger comes close to him, they will naturally appear around him and help him stop all danger. Even the light elemental magic used by Eren was useless, and the extremely hot orbs of light he created were also unable to break through Ashley Hill's defenses.

"What the hell is this......" Riel looked at it for a long time, but couldn't see why. Those black holes are usually invisible at all, and only pop up when danger approaches Ashley Hill, like his shadow.

"I don't know!" Alan frowned, his brain racing, trying to find the truth through some clues, "Judging from its effect, it may be a very special kind of spatial magic...... This hole connects to other places and allows all attacks to be diverted. ”

"If so, wouldn't he be invincible...... No wonder we challenged him so confidently. Riel couldn't help but sweat a little on his forehead.

"However, judging from the current situation, it seems that it can only be effective against physical attacks......" Alan thought for a moment, "If that's the case, I almost have a countermeasure......

"Do you mean, let Alyssa use that strange magic that only she knows?"

However, Eren shook his head: "No, she used too much energy and magic before, and she can't let her use that magic anymore." ”

"Then what do you mean ......"

"You go and try!"

"Me!?" Riel's eyes widened at the sight.

"Hmm...... You go. Eren whispered, "Because you can easily move behind him and make direct physical contact with him, instead of us attacking from a distance through magic." Those black holes are sensitive to magic, but not necessarily to your fists...... And behind it is his blind spot, if those black holes are manipulated by his mind, he will not be able to react! At least, I think it's worth a try!"

"I see!" Riel nodded after listening to the analysis, "That's ...... I'm going to try it! You can help me distract him!"

"Okay! I'll leave it to you!" Alan said as he began chanting a spell to cover for Riel, "Good luck!"
