It seems that the Royal Band of Musicians has collided with the group of black musicians, and the two sides are fighting. However, in this hellish terrain, it is probably difficult for both sides to win. Once the door is closed, it is another world, and even if they want to chase them, they will not be able to catch up.
Compared to the extreme dangers over there, Ye Qingxuan's journey was easy and peaceful, and his luck was so good. It was like an outing, with no dangers along the way, and we had already passed them and completed half of the way.
Then his luck seemed to run out.
When Ye Qingxuan opened the door again, dust fell from the ceiling. As the iron door pushed forward, the decayed copper cups scattered on the ground collided and rolled, making a crisp sound, and then fell apart under the young man's trampling.
Then, Ye Qingxuan fell into suffocation instantly.
In the huge and empty hall, Ye Qingxuan saw the next door—the huge and ferocious bronze door.
The bronze door is engraved with vague reliefs, like a battlefield scene of countless people fighting, but the scene has long been blurred by the erosion of time.
What suffocated him was the giant nailed to the iron door.
Right in the center of the iron gate, in the frantic relief of the battlefield, a burly man covered in ferocious armor was thrust through the chest by a giant sword and nailed to the gate.
The ferocious armor still reflects the cold iron light after all the years, but the iron light is covered with stains of dried blood. The blood that gushes out from it has long been exhausted, but it leaves such a dirty trace.
Unlike ordinary knights who wear armor as their own defense, the three-meter-tall knight seems to be imprisoned in his own armor.
Every joint and part of the armor was riveted with huge iron nails, and the wearable joints were all sealed with burned iron pulp.
It was like using this as a cage to imprison him in it.
The moment he saw him, Ye Qingxuan turned around and opened the door to leave without looking back, but his movements were frozen in place because the door behind him could no longer be opened.
What's even more heart-stopping is... that thin voice seemed to wake up the knight from his deep sleep. Amidst the sharp sound of steel friction, it slowly raised its head, and beneath the mask, a light like lava lit up.
He looked at the young man.
Facing that emotionless gaze, Ye Qingxuan felt chills all over his body and whispered the taboo name: "Dagonite..."
Dagonet, the least known of the Knights of the Round Table, has neither great military exploits nor a reputation that has been passed down to the world, and has never even held an official position.
He is not as radiant as Lancelot, nor is he as noble as Gawain. He had never even been on the battlefield. It can be said that he is the object of ridicule by all his colleagues.
So much so that historians feel that Dagonet only achieved the status of a Knight of the Round Table through his wife's nepotism.
Until his death, he had no achievements worthy of being recorded in history books.
Hundreds of years ago, King Arthur summoned alchemists from all over the world to build himself an artifact, the Sword in the Stone, and also created peerless armor for his followers, the "Knights of the Round Table", but only Dagonite Nothing has been given.
He lost his composure and questioned the emperor in the palace, making the emperor furious. Arthur ordered his alchemist to put on the "clown" the armor he "deserves", but all the gaps in the armor were sealed with hot copper juice and could never be taken off.
Finally, King Arthur scooped up the boiling iron slurry with his own hands, poured it from his visor, and burned him to death in the glory he dreamed of.
It can be said that Dagonite has been like a clown all his life, funny to death. But Ye Qingxuan still didn't dare to have any contempt: the most popular Knight of the Round Table is also a Knight of the Round Table!
The next moment, his hair stood on end.
"Arthur!!!"
Under the visor, "Dagonit" finally woke up from his slumber and roared furiously. The sound hit him like an iron plate, echoing in the closed hall, making Ye Qingxuan dizzy.
Dagonit pulled out the giant sword from his chest, his huge body fell to the ground, and his single red eye under the mask looked at Ye Qingxuan.
"... Every wrong has its owner, and every debt has its owner. Brother, how do you think I look like Arthur?"
Ye Qingxuan was on the verge of crying but couldn't find any tears: "How could I tell you that I can change it!"
He was answered by thunderous footsteps, iron boots colliding with the floor, sparks bursting out, leaving more than a dozen craters in an instant, and heading straight towards Ye Qingxuan.
Ye Qingxuan rolled on the spot, felt the giant sword pass by, and fell to the ground.
"Rolling on the spot" is really a good way to save your life. Without it, I would have lost my hair, right? While dodging, Ye Qingxuan was still thinking wildly.
After "Iron Bone" was upgraded to "Rendu", Ye Qingxuan's speed was so fast that Ye Qingxuan couldn't control it. He just crossed a distance of several meters in an instant and nimbly dodged out of the range of the giant sword.
"Arthur!!!"
Under the armor of the Knight of the Round Table, Dagonit roared again and rushed towards Ye Qingxuan... The posture was not beautiful, it could even be said to be rolling and crawling, like a dog, but the madness revealed was chilling. .
In his hand, the slashing sword left messy cracks on the floor, and the flying stone chips bounced off Ye Qingxuan's body like a heavy rain.
Ye Qingxuan dodged in a hurry, raised his hand, and bit his fingertips. The Jiuxiao Ring Pendant emits a clear melody, the ether changes, and traces of blood emerge from the wounds on the young man's fingers, floating in the air like mist.
— Bolero.
In the vague blood color, there was moonlight brewing, turning into thousands of strands, extending in all directions, wrapping around Dagonit's body.
Therefore, he frowned tightly.
"How is this going… "
Ye Qingxuan's expression changed as he interpreted the ether fluctuations he had read: The ether reaction in Dagonit's body actually came from nineteen different sources in just an instant
After just a moment's hesitation, the ether fluctuations that appeared soared to more than thirty!
In an instant, Dagonit's speed increased again and he pounced on him like a mad dog. Ye Qingxuan retreated sharply to the right, but Gonet's waist suddenly and unexpectedly rotated 180 degrees, and the heavy sword in his hand followed the rotation and slashed.
Ye Qingxuan's expression changed drastically, and then he heard a roar.
The several protective rings on his fingers were extinguished one after another. Under the violent chop, several different layers of shields fell apart. Ye Qingxuan's body also flew into the air under the force of the shock, and slammed into the wall. inside.
I can’t even pick it off!
He almost lost his breath under this violent impact, but his expression became more and more confused:
This guy's speed and strength are still soaring, and... why, only speed and strength
There was no sword energy that was said to cut off mountains and separate seas, nor was there a radiance that was like the blazing sun, burning all enemies... not even the iconic fantasy beast badge of the Knights of the Round Table appeared.
Back then, King Arthur gave the twelve phantom beasts summoned in his destiny chapter "The Golden Chapter of Victory" to all the knights. The power of the phantom beasts and the armor were integrated into one, allowing humans to borrow that almost magical beast. The power of the Holy Spirit works incredibly well.
Maybe it was because Dagonet didn't please King Arthur that he wasn't given it, but what about the others
Could it be that Dagonit never goes into battle because he only knows this "mad dog swordsmanship"
Are you kidding me
Then, there is only one possibility left.
Ye Qingxuan narrowed his eyes and looked at Dagonit who was charging furiously: The reason why he didn't use it was because he couldn't use it...
Although they are both the remains of the Knights of the Round Table, this guy is completely different from the former Severed Knight Parcival.
If you distinguish carefully...
"There is simply a qualitative difference."
Ye Qingxuan murmured softly, suddenly shook, crawled out of the depression, pushed hard, and his body flew into the air. In the air, he passed by the rushing mad dog knight.
At that moment, Dagonit repeated his old tricks and reached for Ye Qingxuan with his limbs reversed. But Ye Qingxuan calmly raised his hand and pointed it at Dagonit from a distance.
Lightning burst out from Indra's eyes, danced around his body, and finally spurted out from his palms.
—Director Ren!
boom!
In an instant, the two people in the air were suddenly bounced away by the invisible huge force. Dagonit was smashed to the ground, and Ye Qingxuan flew up to the ceiling, turned over and grabbed the gap in the dome, hanging in the air.
He cleared the static from his arm and whistled.
"Sorry, it's the first time I use this function, so the intensity is turned up a bit..."
At that moment, he forcibly activated the repulsion rune on "Rendu" and strengthened it to the maximum with the power of the Eye of Indra.
Who let Dagonit have so many iron nails riveted on his body
As a result, the two people who originally collided at high speed were bounced away faster. One after another, they looked at each other in disgust from a distance of several meters.
Threads of moonlight were entangled between the two people. According to Ye Qingxuan's observation, the ether reaction in Dagonit's body had soared to over a hundred.
His body expanded violently again, almost breaking through the luxurious and majestic armor.
"Hundreds of etheric reactions?"
In the sound of steel whining, Ye Qingxuan narrowed his eyes: "Let me see what is hidden in that suit of armor of yours."
In an instant, his body fell from the air, and his eyes were full of fighting spirit.
Dagonit roared and raised the giant sword from bottom to top. The sword blade that originally pierced the ground tore into pieces of the floor under the power of the devil, rubbing until it burned red.
The burning red drew a violent arc in the air.
However, it was too early...
It was just a moment too early, and his movements were too abrupt and uncoordinated, causing his legs to stagger and almost toppling over.
Ye Qingxuan's fierce and substantive fighting spirit dissipated, leaving only a clear calmness.
The excited look just now seemed like... an illusion.
This is a favorite technique of telepathic musicians—suggestion.
The formless and colorless river has flowed upstream along the moonlight lead. Ye Qingxuan continued to plant various contradictory hints into the armor. If he were a normal person, he would have already understood what was going on. No matter what happened, he rushed over and hacked him to death.
Dagonit became more and more confused, his limbs seemed to be fighting independently, his body twisted in a strange way, as if he was about to drown in the water, and he made convulsive movements trying to crush Ye Qingxuan who was close at hand. , but it had been read by him a long time ago and flashed past easily.
"I see, those hundreds of nodes that produce ether reactions in your body are probably not under your own control, right?"
A flash of realization flashed in Ye Qingxuan's eyes: "In other words: your body was controlled by them!"
Dagonit roared, picked up the giant sword on the ground in his hand, grabbed the blade directly, and smashed it towards the enemy like a hammer.
All in vain.
Ye Qingxuan seemed to be stepping on the tip of a knife, his movements were erratic, and he kept brushing against Dagonit's attacks. Like an erratic ghost, he walked towards Dagonit step by step, unscathed.
Dagonet reached out to crush his throat. However, Ye Qingxuan brushed his arm and dodged it. Ye Qingxuan stepped forward and squeezed into the arms of the steel giant. He raised his palm high and pressed down on the crack that penetrated Dagonit's chest!
The sigh is shocking!
Bang!
With a muffled sound, Dagonit's huge body suddenly shook, and his movements stopped abruptly. The armor, which had long been damaged, fell apart in thousands of shocks after experiencing the corrosion of time.
A winding crack spread from Dagonit's chest to the visor, and then suddenly cracked, revealing a huge crack.
Behind the crack is a corpse that has long since dried up. But on the withered corpse, there were layers of yellow flesh that exuded a putrid smell. The flesh swam under his skin like a living thing, filling his blood vessels and muscles, making the withered body... The corpse was as plump as before, and even mutated into black scales, which was even better than before.
Once exposed to light, the body was stimulated by something, bubbling like boiling, and making a dull neighing sound.
The ether fluctuations read by the moonlight lead are becoming more and more complex, with hundreds of thousands...
"Sure enough, the form demon."
Ye Qingxuan narrowed his eyes and murmured softly, "You guys really found a good house."
…
All along, Dagonit has been controlled by this group of monsters who came from nowhere.
As he expected, Dagonit was not assimilated into the Shadow of Avalon like Percival. He died a long time ago, the day he put on this armor.
But his body was parasitized by demons and turned into the ghostly appearance it has now.
Parasitic demons are rare parasitic demons. They are more like some kind of parasites than demons.
Their larvae usually parasitize in the corpses of flying insects and birds, and manipulate the corpses into traps to find a suitable breeding ground for themselves.
After it enters the belly of the beast, it will begin to parasitically infect, assimilate the host's organs and blood, until it settles down in the host's brain, takes its place, gives birth to children, and finally embarks on the next cycle of parasitism.
However, Ye Qingxuan had never heard of so many hatching from one corpse at once...
Such a dense number, perhaps hundreds or even thousands, is really not an empty talk.
So many ether reactions are the fluctuations when those guys absorb ether and strengthen the host, right
However, being able to withstand the parasitism and strengthening of so many monsters... How powerful a monster is Dagonit
With Ye Qingxuan's ridiculous physical fitness, even if it is cut into pieces and separated, it is already amazing that seven or eight of them can be parasitized and hatched.
And Dagonite has given birth to so many demons by himself, and with such terrifying physical fitness, even among the giants, he is considered to be the strongest among them.
Just relying on the instinct inspired by the demon and the pure physical power of this corpse, he was able to almost kill Ye Qingxuan on the spot in a moment of encounter...
In the future, whoever says that he is a Knight of the Round Table who is just used to make up numbers, with a false reputation, etc., Ye Qingxuan will be in a hurry!
If this is just a make-up, then wouldn’t all the Knights of the Round Table have to be angels descended to earth
However, if you have this level of power, how unlovable are you that you haven't even had a chance to fight
The young man cursed silently in his heart.
Then, a strange neighing sound came.
