Chapter 576: Destined Death
Although the shadows of beasts are assigned to gods by the Supreme Will, this does not mean that the shadows do not have their own thoughts and feelings. To gods, shadows are like sworn brothers.
This is true for Malicus and Blaze.
However, compared to the feelings of the shadows, the gods they serve are more loyal to their ideals.
This is true for Marika and Lani as well.
Both of these women chose to abandon everything for their own goals, but Marika was better.
Not only did she plan for many years, she also betrayed her trusted brother and even abandoned her husband and children and joined the game herself.
If it weren't for A-Tu, Marika might have really succeeded. After all, before the Faded One enters the Golden Tree, he will meet the King of the Beginning, Gefulei.
Obviously, Ge Fulei is one of Marika's backup men.
Perhaps Gefulei became a Faded One because he lost the blessing of the golden tree, and was then exiled. This was all a plan that Marika had already decided on.
It’s a pity that Marika’s plan encountered the fourth natural disaster. It was really bad luck.
"In that case, let's fight!"
Xia Yu pointed the tip of the sword at Malicus, and Malicus looked ferocious.
In an instant, Malicus' body was filled with black and red aura. He clenched the black sword in his hand and cut off the cross sword energy with one sword. Then he also attacked with the sword energy.
Xia Yuouhe danced with his sword, spinning the Hunting God Sword to block the impact . At the same time, he thought in his mind, preparing to find an opportunity to strike.
No, it’s not a dirty trick, but a surprise victory!
This is a tactic. As the saying goes, all is fair in war.
In front, the rotating greatsword could not stop Malicus. With Malicus's vigorous effort, the greatsword was easily knocked away.
Without any obstacles, Malicus pressed forward once more, his black and red aura dyeing the surrounding storm with mixed colors, and even the air currents carried a hint of the breath of death.
Seeing this, Xia Yu stepped back, waved his hand and took out a magic wand, then his figure floated in the air. As he moved, a full moon emerged from his body.
The full moon is not like a normal moon, it is dimmer and colder.
The Dark Moon of Lani, the symbolic magic of Queen Kalia, is one of the "legendary magics".
He learned this magic from Lani. It can call upon the cold dark moon to descend upon him. The dark moon can eliminate all magic that it touches and cause double damage of the full moon and cold to the enemy.
While letting Dark Moon fly towards Malycus, Xia Yu couldn't help but be absent-minded. He thought of that arrogant witch.
I don't know what Lani is doing now. Will she agree with his plan?
The last time he met Lani was at the Moonlight Altar. At that time, he put a ring on Lani's finger and told her his thoughts and plans.
Then Lani thought he was a little too extreme.
After that, Lani disappeared. Even though he kept harassing the other party through Petite Lani, the other party directly blacklisted him, making the harassment useless.
Until now, Lani has not contacted him again.
But it doesn't matter. There's no rush. After he kills the last god, Lani will give an answer.
When Xia Yu was distracted, Malicus had already brandished the black sword to meet the Dark Moon. The cold Dark Moon made his body frost-covered, and the power of the full moon was also eroding his body.
It's not a werewolf and can't gain power from the moon.
Feeling this extremely powerful magic, Malicus swung the black sword with a vengeance. While the sword was rotating to cut towards the dark moon, the sword also released light waves.
When the black sword collided with the dark moon, the surrounding space collapsed instantly. The light waves that seemed to eliminate everything and the dark moon that seemed to freeze everything were immediately implicated and disappeared into the space crack in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, a deep-colored starry sky torrent attacked Malycus from the side, forcing him to hurriedly raise his sword to block it.
boom!!!
Malicus underestimated the impact force of the extremely large comet and was knocked away. He had to wrap his whole body with black and red flames to reduce the erosion of magic power.
Comet Azr, one of the origin magicians, Azr's magic is also one of the "legendary magics".
Although Xia Yu's fighting style has always been that of a warrior, his initial identity was actually a magician. Even in the later stages, he did not stop practicing magic.
After all, when it comes to magic, you can tell at a glance that the magician is the boss.
Melee combat is just a hobby, being a mage is my main job.
Among all the legendary spells, he only had not learned Elden Meteor. He already knew the rest of the legendary spells, and even had a high level of proficiency in some of them.
Pyroxene fragments splashed, and the comet's light became longer and longer, just like a real star falling, falling straight into the distant tornado.
The surrounding storms had become a mess, and there were no more flying dragons flying around. They didn't want to be affected and killed, so they all hid themselves.
After knocking Malicus away with one blow, Xia Yu opened the portal and came behind Malicus seamlessly.
Looking at Malicus who was still resisting the Comet Azrael, Xia Yu raised the magic scepter in his hand again, and twelve dark meteors were released from the tip of the scepter in an instant.
Meteor of Destruction, the magic of Luther, one of the origin magicians.
This is the origin that Lusert glimpsed, the magic he comprehended at the moment when a huge star cluster was destroyed.
Above the sky, the destructive meteor shone brightly, and the terrifying star magic power condensed into one point, flying towards Malicus who was still resisting the comet Azrael with a force that covered the sky and the sun.
With loud explosions, the destructive meteor shattered everything in its path. The space sank and ripples were huge. All that could be seen was the dazzling dark blue starlight and the chaotic storm vortex.
After the explosion subsided, the magic of the dark blue stars lingered for a long time, dyeing the entire sky blue.
And in this azure blue , Malicus, who had endured two legendary magics, was in a miserable state. His black armor had become damaged, and black and red blood was dripping from the corners of his mouth.
But even so, its momentum has not diminished in the slightest, and it is still the "Black Sword" Malicus.
Although he really wanted to persuade Malicus again, Xia Yu knew that it would be a futile effort.
Because under the damaged mask, Malicus' eyes were still so fierce and bright, with no sign of surrender at all.
However, although his momentum was fierce, his aura had begun to weaken.
Feeling that the dog's breath was weakening, Xia Yu took advantage of the situation and pursued him. He pointed his staff forward and a large nebula appeared in the sky above the dog.
The Star Shower is the oldest origin magic discovered by ancient stargazers in the past. It is older than Comet Azrael and Meteor of Destruction, and is also one of the "legendary magics".
Legend has it that this is the starting point of pyroxene magic - the origins glimpsed by stargazers became real, and star amber rained down on this land.
This most ancient origin magic is no longer dark blue, but a deeper dark purple .
Pyroxene magic can be judged by its color. The darker the color, the older it was. The dark purple Star Shower can be said to be a unique ancient magic.
The nebula condensed, the star map unfolded, and the meteor shower fell from the sky like real raindrops.
Malicus, who was in the center of the meteor shower, roared and raised the black sword and swung it. His breath weakened but his momentum became more powerful. He cut down the stars with the heavy sword, but more stars hit him.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xia Yu instantly came to the side of Malicus, swept across with the snake hunting spear, and when Malicus dodged, the staff pointed directly at Malicus's abdomen.
Malicus saw through Xia Yu's intention and knew that if he continued like this, the only outcome would be death.
We can only take this opportunity to seize that slim chance of winning.
Therefore, instead of dodging, Malicus rushed towards the staff.
The magic power of the comet condensed, and the starry sky torrent gushed out again. The incomparable comet light filled the entire sky, and the lower body of Malicus exploded directly. There was no flesh and blood at the break, only dark blue pyroxene crystals.
After suffering a severe blow, Malicus spat out a mouthful of hot blood and his life force rapidly declined. Xia Yu took the opportunity to put away his staff, clenched the snake hunting spear with both hands, and then stabbed it deeply into Malicus' chest.
But before his light blade could burst out, the muscles in Malicus' chest tightened instantly, blocking the snake hunting spear.
Suddenly, a black light flashed, and Malicus, holding the black sword high, stabbed Xia Yu in the back with the black sword, who was unable to dodge.
After successfully stabbing the black sword into Xia Yu's body, Malicus smiled grimly, because the power of destined death had been infused into Xia Yu's body through the sword.
No one can survive the power of the doomed death, not even a demigod.
That black sword that carries the destiny of death has made all demigods feel fear in the past.
But within half a second, the joy on Malicus's face froze, and he was shocked to find that the destined death in the black sword could not do anything to Xia Yu.
Even the power of destined death was rapidly fading, as if it had encountered a more powerful force and was unable to resist and was expelled.
Malicus was a little bit unbelievable and couldn't help but sense Xia Yu's body through the black sword, but just by sensing it, it suddenly discovered that the huge force just now was actually more than one!
Maliks: “???”
With this configuration, why do we need destined death to kill God?
"You... obviously don't need a destined death? Why?"
Malicus ignored the wailing coming from his body and asked blankly.
In order to let the other party die with a clear conscience, Xia Yu replied: "Because only a destined death can shake the foundation of the entire Golden Law!"
"The blessing of the Golden Law allows the one who gives the blessing to return to the tree after death. If the destined death is not released, the cycle of death will never come to this land."
“Is that… actually the case?”
"Yes, that's it."
Xia Yu grinned, and then a blade of light burst out from the Big Snake Hunting Spear, accompanied by an earth-shaking roar, and everything in front melted in the blade of light.
When the light blade gradually dissipated into nothingness, only a black sword remained in the original place of Malicus, a black sword that sealed the destined death.
As for Malicus himself, all that was left was a ball of golden memories.
After Xia Yu put away the memories of the black sword, he waved his hand to summon the black sword, felt the death rune residing inside, and lifted the seal casually.
Because the Death Rune originally belonged to this world, but when Marika made the law, she excluded death from the law. So the moment the seal was lifted, the Death Rune couldn't wait to burst out, wanting to return to the world.
Instantly, the golden tree turned bright red, because in the flames floated the rune of death that had returned to the world.
The golden tree that had changed color at this moment even surpassed its former glory. The crimson light seemed like the last glory of the golden age.
This scene caused all creatures in the entire border area to look up in amazement and stare at the golden tree that had never faded since its existence.
The golden tree that seemed to have remained unchanged since ancient times has changed today!
Because of the spread of the Death Rune, the border area was filled with the breath of death. However, since the magic circle was broken, most of the people who were blessed with it became half-dead zombies.
Now that the destined death has come again, dying here is not a bad thing.
Feeling the spreading death rune, Xia Yu took a deep breath and felt much more relaxed.
However, even though the Death Rune has been liberated, the black sword that hosts the Death Rune has not disappeared, and there is still some power of destined death left, just like the black sword in the hands of the black knife assassin.
"Well, it can be said that it has more collection value than practical value."
After swinging the black sword for a while, Xia Yu put it away. In the original game, the black sword needed to be exchanged for the memories of the black sword.
"What do you think of the battle just now?"
Xia Yu flapped his wings and landed on a floating stone, then knocked on his chest, asking a spirit living in his body.
Melina: “…”
Seeing that Melina didn't answer, Xia Yu didn't get angry. He laughed and said, "Just now, Malicus stabbed the black sword into my body, and that black sword carries the destined death, but you see, I'm still fine."
"Didn't you say that you would kill me after I became the King of Mad Fire? Now that the destined death is useless to me, how are you going to kill me?"
Melina: “…”
This person is so annoying, can't he just shut up?
"Don't be silent, you have the ability to say such harsh words, why can't you answer me?"
"Melina? Meimei? Xiaomei? Meimeimeimeimei..."
"Shut up!"
"Hey, are you willing to pay attention to me? You don't want to be autistic anymore? The three-no girl also wants to speak?" Hearing Melina's voice, Xia Yu not only did not stop, but became even worse.
"How is it? Have you thought it through? Have you figured out how to kill me? I am not even afraid of a destined death right now. Once I master the Mad Fire, I will be even less afraid."
Hearing this, Melina said coldly: "Humph! Even if the destined death is useless to you, I will think of other ways."
"Wow, I'm looking forward to it."
After the friendly exchange with Melina, Xia Yu stopped chattering. He still understood the principle that too much is as bad as too little.
Sooner or later, he would make Melina a chatterbox.
Now that the Golden Tree has burned, the Black Sword has been defeated, and the Death Rune has returned to the border, it is time to transform it into the royal city of Gray City.
As for the Dragon King Platonshanks who was hiding in the cracks of time and space in the Sky City, he would let him go for the time being since he was not an enemy that had to be defeated.
The Dragon King is just a BOSS that can be fought or not. You may fight him if you have all the collection in the game, but in reality, it doesn’t matter whether you fight him or not, he will not pose a threat anyway.
Although the withering of Platonsanx was very handsome, that was not the breath of the Dragon King, but the painful wail of the Dragon King when he was dying.
