Chapter 197 "Ride of Exile" Mordred (5k2)
[You have arrived at the "Land of Exile"].
In front of Luo Xiu, the panel flashing with dark yellow light quickly "broken" and was swept into dust together with the wind and sand dancing in the sky.
Luo Xiu looked around. "Faceless Man" Intis and the other five apostles of "Holy Abyss" were standing behind him, with expressions of surprise and shock on their faces.
The wind and sand obscured their sight, and even Intis, who had the highest "perception", could not see through what was hidden behind the storm.
But everyone can feel that an extremely surging and powerful spiritual surge is entrenched on the opposite side of the sand wall.
Luo Xiu noticed that the "shadows" behind him suddenly felt fear.
But this is normal, Luo Xiu thought to himself.
Even the person with the "fourth level of destiny" felt a slight fear when he assembled the three "crown fragments" and was transported to this "place of exile".
Right at the origin of the storm, the "Ride of Exile" Mordred was waiting for the "interlopers" like them to pass through the storm...
As the holder of three "King Isol's Crown Fragments", Luo Xiu can clearly feel the specific location of the last "King Isol's Crown Fragment".
And its position coincided with the surging and powerful spirituality, which allowed Luo Xiu to almost confirm the other party's true level.
Luo Xiu then increased his vigilance, cheered up his spirits, and then took steps towards the depths of the storm.
…
This is an ancient battlefield.
When he actually passed through the storm and arrived at the center of the "Land of Exile", Luo Xiu saw such a scene.
The broken armor formed a small mound, and the broken half of the long arm was buried deep under the yellow sand. The feathers of the flag have long since faded, but they are still flying stubbornly.
Skeletons, deep pits, broken walls, and dried rivers of blood indicate that this place has experienced a war and a catastrophe, and these scenes carry such broken memories.
And at the end of the field of vision, there was the skeleton of a huge beast.
A knight, he was sitting on the skull of the beast.
It was a knight who was not huge in size. Compared with the giant beast under him, he looked very petite.
He was wearing armor intertwined with red and gold, and his head was half covered by an exquisite feathered helmet, leaving only his eyes and the lower half of his face covered with dense etchings exposed.
The knight hugged a big sword, but its blade pierced his armor and penetrated his chest.
Blood gushed out along the blade, gradually dripping onto the bones of the beast beneath the knight.
…
Luo Xiu, as well as Intis and the other "shadows", were standing on the edge of the inner ring of the storm, facing the knight sitting high on the skull.
That is "The Rider of Exile" Mordred.
That is the "Lord", the "unprecedented powerful existence" that everyone is talking about...
"Dream Stealer" Pior, his body trembled violently, and fear could not stop spreading from his heart.
That was the pressure from the "spiritual" level. Not only Pior, but all the shadows also had similar feelings.
But no one said anything about retreating. The "Lord" had already told them that this was a "trial" and a life-and-death battle.
If you survive the "trial", you will be able to reach a higher status in the "holy abyss", which is a big temptation for all the shadow apostles.
From Luo Xiu's perspective.
Even looking at Mordred's "small" figure from a distance, Luo Xiu could feel the heart-stopping power that was constantly shaking his heart and soul.
Due to the distance, Luo Xiu has not yet been able to detect Mordred, but the source of the frightening aura is undoubtedly far greater than the "distortion" of the "Immortal Riding" and "Wandering Riding" before. It's not on the same level as "Twisted+" at all.
That's real "madness," and more. Luo Xiu could feel that the aura coming back from Mordred was at the same level as the "Broken Star Ring" summoned by "The Universalist" Lockland before, and even exceeded it.
This shows that the threat level of "Ride of Exile" Mordred should be at the rating of "Frenzy +"...
That is almost equivalent to being a "saint" who has entered the fifth level of destiny for the first time!
Compared with those "Knights to Protect the Country", the real "Knight Commander of the Country" is two levels higher than those of the "Knights to Protect the Country"!
While Luo Xiu was watching from a distance, Mordred, the "Ride of Exile" from the end of his field of vision, suddenly made a new move.
——Crack, crack... The sharp, frosty sound reached everyone's ears very clearly.
"The Rider of Exile" Mordred, whose hands originally hugged the sword that penetrated his body, suddenly stretched forward somewhat hesitantly, and tightly grasped the hilt of the sword.
A crimson wave of air instantly rose from around Mordred, and the damaged blade of the great sword was immediately dyed scarlet and was pulled out of his body bit by bit. !
Under the feathered helmet worn by Mordred, the eyes that had been closed suddenly opened. It was a dark gold and a red eye, mixed with cold, deep, and Hostility and many other complex emotions.
"How long has it been..."
"The Rider of Exile" Mordred, he let out a long sigh indifferently.
Then, he raised the scarlet-stained long sword in his hand, and the surging spirituality in it immediately spread out to the surroundings, and he quickly ran to the edge of the battlefield.
Visible to the naked eye, the storm that originally swept across the edge of the battlefield gradually stopped raging when it touched those scarlet spirits.
But the storm did not return to dust, but was frozen at a certain moment - the sand and dust suspended in the air were connected by fine scarlet threads, quickly forming a giant net, a barrier, and a A high wall that separates the inside and outside.
"you……"
When the storm was forcibly stopped, Mordred's deep eyes looked at Luo Xiu and the "intruders" behind him.
"I am...Mordred..."
"This is my last battlefield."
"I am an exiled, abandoned, wanderer watching in this isolated place..."
"I am also the lonely, unblessed, corrupt guardian of the Court of Isol."
"..."
Mordred, the "Ride of Exile", stood aloof on top of the beast's corpse, holding the scarlet sword in his hand, narrating this to the "intruders" in a calm voice.
Unlike the "Immortal Rider" Greville and the "Wandering Rider" Miklos at the beginning, the "Exiled Rider" Mordred seems to still retain most of his sanity.
Although his eyes were cloudy, there was a bright light in them, which was impossible for those with corrupted souls to possess.
At the edge of the battlefield, Luo Xiu stood in front of the cessation of the storm barrier and watched, making such conjectures in his mind.
At the same time, he listened to Mordred continue to state "talking to himself":
"My king is insane."
"Isol doesn't need knights, let alone extraneous things to defend 'authority'..."
"However, they still need... someone to resist the disaster and suppress the broken shadow of this land."
"My hometown is on the other side, but my grave is here."
"'Shadow of Calamity'... I did it, I really killed them..."
"And you, you, suddenly appeared and disturbed my atoning sleep."
"You...are the new Shadow of Disaster..."
"..."
Mordred's words stopped abruptly. He then raised the scarlet sword high again, and dark red light quickly emerged and circulated around him, flashing with a deep and dark light.
The dark gold in his eyes disappeared and was stained by the red of the other pupil. At the same time, the ground beneath his feet suddenly shook violently, and something was about to break out of the ground.
"——Roar!" A huge roar suddenly resounded on the battlefield.
The lingering sound hovered above everyone's heads, and Luo Xiu saw at the same time that the remains of the giant beast under Mordred's feet were rising from the ground like a hill!
Dragon skeleton! Luo Xiu had already seen clearly where the huge beast carcass belonged. Those are the bones of a giant dragon! It's just that there is no trace of flesh and blood left. What is attached and flowing on the terrifying white skeleton is Mordred's scarlet spirituality. It is the blood that supports the "resurrection" of the dragon skeleton, and Mordred is the dragon. The heart of the corpse.
The dragon's skeleton spread out its dozens of meters long bone wings, rising air flowed around it, and flew slowly and steadily towards the sky.
Mordred stood at the position of the dragon's head, and the original golden lines of his armor were gradually turning into bottomless pitch black.
After a moment, he raised the scarlet sword high, and a dark and rich crimson mist quickly filled the air around him.
"--roar!!!"
The skeleton dragon suddenly raised its head and let out a deafening roar to the sky.
It flew extremely fast, and made a terrifying hunting sound when it cut through the air. As for Mordred, who stood firmly on the dragon's head, he also completed the first "ancient inheritance" skill chant.
The rich crimson mist quickly spread outwards and gathered over the battlefield, forming a surging blood-red cloud.
The sound of rolling thunder gradually emerged from the blood cloud. The next moment, dozens of red thunders entwined with fine electric light crashed down from mid-air!
——Boom! Boom boom! The lightning strike accurately hit the position where Luo Xiu was standing, but Luo Xiu, who saw a thunder pool on the ground, quickly avoided the bombardment.
The "Shadow Apostles" behind him also evacuated to avoid being blocked by the red thunder and losing all escape routes.
--boom! Boom boom! Lightning flashes fell from the sky one after another, accompanied by the roar of the bone dragon and the violent sound of flapping wings, chasing the steps of all the intruders to avoid.
Mordred still held his sword high, looking down at the fleeing enemies below with cold eyes.
And the spirituality he instilled into that sword was still turning into violent meteorite thunder, bombarding every inch of land on the battlefield indiscriminately.
——Boom, boom, boom! Along with the roar of thunder, the dust and sand on the battlefield were raised high by the thunder and fire, making the entire battlefield turbid.
The visibility was gradually decreasing, and the blinding yellow sand was disrupting everyone's vision. Only Mordred, the "Ride of Exile" hovering high in the sky with a dragon skeleton, could clearly overlook the entire battlefield.
Suddenly, Mordred's sight was attracted by a dark figure on the battlefield.
After wandering around to avoid lightning strikes and carefully observing Mordred, the "Ride of Exile" above, Luo Xiu stopped.
Seeing this, Mordred raised the sword again, the scarlet on the blade flashing continuously, and all the scattered red thunder suddenly disappeared and converged towards the center of Luo Xiu's location.
The blood cloud above the head was still rolling, the roaring thunder resounded for a long time, and Luo Xiu also completed a new prayer at the same time:
"——The spirit of 'illusion'! The guardian of the illusion, the king who casts illusion as a shield ”
"—I beg you to come!"
"..."
--boom! Countless scarlet thunderbolts struck in the air, submerging Luo Xiu's small figure in the rising sand and dust.
But at the same time, the shining golden light overflowed from the origin, and the countless red tribulation thunders quickly dispersed to the surroundings, like running water washing over the smooth stone surface.
Amber, the "Guardian of Illusion", descended into the illusion at the moment before the tribulation thunder fell!
The virtual round shield infused with the spirit of "Holy Light" withstood all the strikes of the scarlet thunder, and Luo Xiu's figure was hidden behind Amber, unscathed by the round of thunder.
"--amber!"
The "Guardian of Falsehood" made a low voice, and the gray mist-filled arm on his left hand suddenly became infiltrated with mottled scarlet color, "dissociating" the spiritual belonging contained in the red thunder.
It was "fire", with the ultimate purity and "fire" attribute mixed with corrosive power. Luo Xiu had already distinguished the damage type of the red thunder.
Before, while Luo Xiu was moving around and avoiding the lightning strikes from Mordred, he had also completed the detection of the "Ride of Exile" in the sky.
Just as Luo Xiu predicted before, "Ride of Exile" Mordred, although he has retained most of his sanity, his humanity has been worn away by the long river of time from the Gods to the present, and his personality has been bound and eroded by long-term loneliness. Soul, Mordred can no longer be regarded as a "human", but as a monster, a monster with a "threat level" defined.
"The Rider of Exile" Mordred, his threat level is "Crazy +" and his level is lv.43. If divided according to the current extraordinary ranks, he has just reached the "Fifth Level of Destiny" realm. "Saint"!
Compared with other "Shadow Apostles" of the third level of destiny, and even Luo Xiu of the fourth level of destiny, his various attributes are crushed, and his two highest and invisible attributes are They are "power" and "divinity" respectively.
In other words, this is the only enemy Luo Xiu has faced with a higher "divine" attribute than him!
This is a very bad situation, which means that Luo Xiu's two major control skills, "Eye into the Abyss" and "Evil Temple", are unable to take effect on Mordred.
Luo Xiu had speculated that the normal strength of "Ride of Exile" Mordred was not much different from that of King Isol's other knights protecting the country. He should have been at most "fourth level". destiny" level.
However, out of respect for the hidden mission "The Exile of Destruction" and its "hell" level mission difficulty, Luo Xiu still made full preparations before entering this "Land of Exile" and facing the man who had been The exiled knight captain protecting the country.
Just on Luo Xiu's task list, there is another task, which is an important reference standard for Luo Xiu.
——Hidden mission "The End of Dusk"! The mission that required the destruction of the entire "Blood of Thorns" allowed Luo Xiu to make final preparations according to the configuration of facing the "Lord of Blood Sacrifice".
"Fortunately... I went through a lot of troubles before and summoned and contracted the 'Guardian of Falsehood' first. It was indeed the right choice..."
Luo Xiu thought with some luck, and the only existence in the field that could compete with "Mordred" head-on was his newly contracted god, the "Guardian of Falsehood" Amber!
…
"--roar!!!"
The roar of the skeletal dragon echoed in the fierce wind in the sky.
When he realized that the several red thunders he had lowered were completely blocked by the sudden appearance of new enemies, Mordred's face under his feathered helmet suddenly became ferocious.
"New...new Shadow of Disaster..."
Mordred murmured, the scarlet light surging on the blade of the great sword in his hand became more and more frantic, and the blood cloud above the ceiling, and the thunder contained within it, became more and more deafening.
At the next moment, the Skeleton Dragon rushed towards Luo Xiu's position. Mordred, who was towering over the dragon's head, had also wrapped the sword blade in his hand with fine scarlet lightning, dragging out a long scarlet sword trail. , then slashed towards the location of the "Guardian of Falsehood" and Luo Xiu.
With this attack, Mordred and the swooping dragon, like a giant sword with the power to destroy an army, swooped towards Luo Xiu in a straight flight trajectory.
Before Mordred's attack arrived, the "Void Guardian" also changed the form of the "Various Image Guardian". The large circular shield overflowing with golden light suddenly transformed into a golden shadow, and then transformed into a golden shadow. For the city wall that exudes golden light.
"Virtual barrier"! This is the virtual image form with the maximum shield value that the "Void Guardian" can conjure!
——Boom! ! ! ! !
At the next moment, like the thunder from the sky stirring up the fire on the earth, the scarlet light that burned the earth flashed one after another. All the thunders from the sky suddenly landed on the illusion barrier, attracting the attention of the "shadow apostles" who were watching from a distance. , instantly occupied by overflowing crimson.
The red thunder bombarded Luo Xiu's position heavily, and Mordred, who was riding the dragon's skeleton, also swung his sword to attack after a moment!
——Boom! ! ! ! !
When the sword wrapped in scarlet light struck the barrier heavily, the origin of the confrontation made an explosion like an avalanche.
Yellow sand suddenly rose into the sky, swallowing up the figures of Mordred, "Guardian of Falsehood" Amber, and Luo Xiu.
…
When all the "Holy Abyss" apostles finally regained their sight, they only saw the diffuse yellow sand and a vague figure that was vaguely discernible in it.
"The Lord... is fighting with the Lord, what kind of existence is that..."
"Is that... is our trial...?"
"..."
Countless voices of doubt, confusion, and awe began to slowly emerge from the depths of everyone's hearts.
At this moment, these apostles serving the "Holy Abyss" are just watching from a distance, and they can only do this.
Now, at least for now... that's not a fight they can get involved in.
Everyone understands this very well.
The apostles of the "Holy Abyss", their anxious eyes converged on the center of the previous explosion.
At this time, the dust rising into the sky had just dispersed, and the figure fighting fiercely in it appeared again.
Suddenly, a figure wearing gray fog armor soared into the sky.
Behind him, a golden wing suddenly spread out.
That is the "Lord", that is the figure of "Shura"!
