Chapter 203: I recognize this power
Stonewell City, top of the city wall tower.
"It should be okay to hide here." Darriwell killed the exiled soldiers who followed him with one sword and asked Blaze who was leading them.
Blaze looked around without saying a word. Seeing this, Darryl had no choice but to put away his fangs, thinking that Blaze had agreed.
Because he hadn't worked with Blaze for a long time, Darryll had forgotten that Blaze was actually a person with poor direction. At this moment, Blaze actually didn't know whether this place was safe or not.
He just followed the road and ended up here, without a map to refer to, although he couldn't understand a map.
"It should be safe here." Roger showed off his presence a little. "Stonewell City will capture the Faded Ones. I have avoided capture here before. Besides, this place is relatively high. Even if the ground collapses, it will not affect here."
Hearing Roger say this, Darriwell sneered and said, "Collapse? You really dare to think about it. Even if Greg and Xia Yu are really strong, it is impossible for them to blow up the entire underground directly, right, Blaze?"
“…”
Seeing that Blaze did not agree with him, Darriwell turned his head and looked at Blaze in astonishment, and said in surprise: "You don't really think they can..."
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Before Darriwell could finish his words, waves of violent explosions suddenly sounded from underground. In the blink of an eye, the ground of the entire Stonewell city cracked into cracks that seemed to lead to the abyss.
From the gap , a dazzling beam of energy burst out like lightning, and in the blink of an eye it passed through layers of blockades and reached the surface.
Those tall and sturdy buildings in the city were instantly filled with tiny cracks, and the defensive magic specially carved on the buildings also exploded directly after a flash.
"Run away! Stonewell City is about to collapse!"
"Lord Greg, where are you? Come and save us!"
“My feet!!!”
Wailing cries rang out in the city of Stonewell. The collapse of the ground caused the buildings to collapse, and the residents and soldiers who remained in the city fled in all directions.
But things were collapsing and falling apart everywhere, and there was almost no safe place except for the city walls which were stronger than ordinary buildings.
On top of the city wall tower, Blaze and the other two silently looked at the disaster-stricken city of Stonewell. If those who were fleeing were not quick enough to dodge, they would be crushed by the collapsed buildings or fall into the dark abyss of the cracks.
"It's so tragic..." Roger sighed helplessly as he looked at the people who suffered in the city.
He really wanted to do something, but he was powerless and could only hide aside and watch it all.
"I didn't expect that they would actually blow up the underground..." Darriwell looked at , "You really have always been right, Blaze."
Blaze didn't reply, but his dazed eyes revealed his unrest. Could such a powerful man really be recruited by them?
In other words, will the other party really become a help to Lani rather than a hindrance?
After all, the other party's target is King Elden, and Ranie's goal is to keep the law away from this land and let all life survive according to their own wishes.
When the law is lost, the King of Elden will also lose his meaning. Are they... destined to be on opposite sides?
Blaze didn't dare to think about it any further. During this period of time, he had already accepted this Faded Person named Xia Yu. He really couldn't imagine that the two of them would become opponents.
No, for Lani, he would not be lenient even if she was a friend he recognized. He just hoped that day would never come.
The collapse continued, everything was falling apart, it seemed like this was the end of Stonewell, no one could escape.
Rumble——!
Just a few seconds after the collapse slowed down, an extremely dazzling light suddenly lit up in the cracks, and the next moment, a roaring explosion resounding through the heavens and the earth erupted from inside the ground.
After a series of earthquakes, the center of Stonewell City completely disappeared, leaving only a dark and gloomy deep pit. The deep pit was like a huge mouth of the abyss that swallowed up all the light that shone through it.
Large patches of black and gold thorns crawled out from the edge of the deep pit, like cold poisonous snakes looking for prey, spreading very quickly, and in just a few moments they covered the surrounding land and ruined houses.
These thorns were exactly the same as those on the city walls, but it was obvious that these new thorns were more threatening.
However, before the thorns completely covered the entire Stonewell, these spreading thorns suddenly began to dry up. In just a few seconds, all the thorns turned into a pool of ashes, including the thorns that had already covered the city walls.
The underground shaking stopped and all the thorns withered. Seeing that everything seemed to be over, Blaze and others nodded to each other, jumped down from the top of the city wall tower, and walked towards the dark pit.
…
Stonewell City, underground.
At this moment, everything here has turned into ruins. The originally reinforced walls have long disappeared in the war. The entire pit has penetrated hundreds of meters downwards, and the surrounding area has expanded by nearly a thousand meters.
Everything had completely changed, and in the very center of the pit, there stood a figure with a naked upper body, but because of the power of harmony, his lower body was not bare, but covered with a tattered strip of cloth.
At this moment, the figure was holding a glass bottle and pouring something into his mouth. As the golden liquid in the bottle disappeared, some of the wounds on the figure's body were healing rapidly.
"Pfft, I didn't expect that I would have to drink two bottles of healing potions in one battle. Tsk, how embarrassing."
Xia Yu drank up the healing spell potion in one breath. Due to the sudden increase in vitality, his black hair was dyed golden.
"But with this magic ring fragment, I don't need to drink potions anymore."
While muttering to himself, Xia Yu threw away the glass bottle in his hand and took the floating Great Rune from Greg, who was as dry as a dead tree in front of him.
At this moment, Greg's entire body was extremely pale. Not only had he lost his limbs, his entire body looked like a dry, sun-exposed dead wood. Only the noble headband on his head could highlight his identity.
As if sensing Xia Yu's action of taking away the Great Rune, Greg's withered head suddenly moved his lips: "Did I... lose?"
"You are still conscious?" Hearing Greg's murmur, Xia Yu put away the Great Rune and squatted down. "You lost, but I recognize your will and strength. You are worthy of your status as the Golden King."
"To be recognized by you, I am really..."
The soft murmur eventually turned into a faint sigh, and then Greg completely lost his life breath. A golden light emerged and sank into Xia Yu's body.
Xia Yu raised his eyebrows, reached out and took out the golden light from his body. After coming to the outside world, the golden light immediately turned into the appearance of Greg when he had his limb reattached.
"Memories of limb reattachment?"
Xia Yu looked at the golden figure and thought silently that the Memories of the Ring World were the deformed souls of the Dark Souls World, and both could be used to exchange for the BOSS's weapons or skills.
That means that even if the two are different, they are definitely similar.
Thinking of this, Xia Yu tried to use the secret method of soul searching to explore Greg's memories. The next moment, dense soul memories instantly flashed before his eyes.
The weak man named Greg has never had any highlight moments since he was born. Although his father is Godwin and his grandfather is Godfrey, he himself is a powerless weakling. This powerlessness accompanied him until he escaped from the royal city and then underwent a horrific limb transplant.
But in the last moments of his life, he changed his previous weakness. He did not beg for mercy, but launched a final charge towards the terrifying figure, and finally lost his life with regret.
After seeing Greg's entire life, Xia Yu didn't want to comment on it. Even if he killed Greg, the road to the throne of King Elden was paved with corpses, and this road would be accompanied by a lot of sacrifices and deaths anyway.
Of course, he will definitely not die. If anyone dies, it will be someone else. He will just have the last laugh.
"Sure enough, memories are souls, but they are souls mixed with the blessings of the golden tree."
Xia Yu tossed Greg's memories in one hand and muttered to himself that through the previous investigation, he already knew the true appearance of the memories. The so-called memories were a mixture of a large amount of rune energy and soul body.
Not only can one crush the memories to directly obtain a large amount of rune energy, but one can also obtain the power of the Lord of Memories through the souls in the memories.
Anyway, it wasn't what he expected.
But as for the power of the Lord of Remembrance...Xia Yu recalled what Greg's memories could be exchanged for in the game.
Well... the King Axe, the King Axe is right here. Even though the previous battle caused the King Axe to be blunt, it can still be used after some repairs.
Hmm... Reattached Dragon Gloves. In this battle, Greg didn't have Reattached Dragon at all. So, can he still exchange it for Dragon Gloves? Probably not. Besides, if he wanted Dragon Gloves, he could forge them himself. There's no need to exchange them through Recollection.
Xia Yu thought about it carefully, and found that this recollection was actually a bit tasteless, but a pity to throw away. He didn't even look at the things he got in exchange, and he felt it was a loss to crush it to get a lot of rune energy.
Could he ask the ashes to help him smelt it into a weapon? But this soul is mixed with a lot of rune energy, can it be smelted smoothly...
After thinking silently for a while, Xia Yu decided to put it away first. He couldn't use it now anyway, so he might as well leave it there. Who knows, it might come in handy someday.
Thinking of this , Xia Yu took Greg's memories into his body, then took out Greg's Great Rune and examined it carefully.
According to his detection, this Great Rune, that is, the fragment of the Ring, is almost exactly the same as his previous guess. This fragment of the Ring is filled with a large amount of life energy.
It was the life force of the ring fragments that allowed Greg to perform limb grafting on people of all races, and even when he fought with him later, he exploded into a muscular form.
However, the fragment of the magic ring in his hand did not move at all, as if it was angry because it had a new owner.
Xia Yu frowned and silently sensed the fragments of the magic ring. The next moment, he figured out the reason.
"The Divine Tower!"
That's right, the fragments of the magic ring can only change their owners in the Divine Tower. Otherwise, he cannot use the fragments of the magic ring. At least now he has no way to bypass the Divine Tower to use the fragments of the magic ring.
"Tsk, I forgot about that." Xia Yu put the fragment of the magic ring into his body with some annoyance, "Looks like I have to go to Nimgefu's Divine Tower again."
