Chapter 200 Mission Completed: Exile of Destruction


Chapter 200 Mission Completed: Exile of Destruction

In the section where Mordred was cut in half, dark purple mist was still surging, and strange blood bubbles appeared like boiling water.

The corroded spiritual threads spread from it and squirmed towards the other body, as if they wanted to bridge the two broken bodies together again.

Seeing this, Luo Xiu recalled the Burning Feather Raven and summoned the "Nightmare Wolf" at the same time.

Fenrir, covered in dark purple demonic flames, emerged from the shadows in front of Luo Xiu and quickly rushed toward the lower half of Mordred's body.

The moment Fenrir appeared, Luo Xiu poured a large amount of "eclipse" spirituality into it through the "Master Mark".

This greatly increased the spiritual surge in Fenrir's body, and at the same time, he radiated all the surging spirituality he had been given, forming a darkest and deep realm of abyssal beasts.

Fenrir at this time was like a magnet placed in a magnetic field.

The moment Fenrir appeared and released the surging spirituality of darkness, the spirituality of the bridge between Mordred's two bodies was completely disrupted. In the cross-sections of his two bodies, the originally perfect arc-shaped spirituality was instantly broken, and several disconnected spiritual strands were formed.

These chaotic spiritual strands are spread out as if they have no owner, and are scattered into even finer and weaker spiritual strands.

In the end, they ran towards the darker, more original, real "abyss" beast.

Countless scattered spirits finally converged on Fenrir's body. At the same time, it also began to greedily absorb these energies, completely digesting and absorbing them into its own power.

"You...you..."

At the far end, Mordred was "on the verge of death" but still struggling. He murmured feebly and weakly.

"You are indeed...a...disaster..."

"..."

Mordred's last resort was divided and eliminated by Fenrir, the "Nightmare Wolf".

In the real abyss, in that purgatory where the races of the "abyss" devour each other and live and die, the power of "eclipse" is returned to a higher point in the food chain.

Mordred was only "eroded". In the final analysis, he was not a real creature of the abyss. He was just the carrier of the remaining "corrosion" power of the "Shadow of Disaster".

When Mordred was unable to resist and was unable to use such a surging and powerful "eclipse" spirituality, the power he possessed was a delicious meal in front of Fenrir, a feast full of temptation.

While Fenrir absorbed Mordred's "eclipse" power, Luo Xiu slowly walked towards his other half, Mordred.

At this time, Mordred's feathered helmet had been hammered to pieces, revealing his ferocious, corroded face.

That is really a terrifying face. If it were placed in the real world outside, it could be used as a good remedy to stop children from crying at night... Luo Xiu thought to himself, his eyes looking at Mordred's face at the same time. , intersecting with Mordred's eyes that were gradually becoming clouded.

At this time, Mordred's eyes had lost most of their sparkle, and the deep purple symbolizing "dark erosion" was gradually fading away, revealing his original eye color.

It was as blue as lake water.

That was Mordred, the original color of his eyes.

When the dark purple color gradually faded, revealing the originally covered blue eyes, Luo Xiu inexplicably thought of the ebbing tide. Think of the clean, blue beach washed away by the tide.

"ah……"

In those pupils that gradually turned blue, Luo Xiu felt tranquility, peace, and... relief.

Mordred, the darkness in his eyes was gradually disappearing, and the darkness, cruelty and bloodthirsty eyes that were originally filled with them gradually dissolved with the passing of life. At the last moment, he found the true and clear vision. self.

"I should... thank you... the strange intruder."

Mordred's body no longer struggled, but lay peacefully on the yellow sand. The blood from the section was still pouring out, but he no longer stopped them, and no longer resisted welcoming the end of his life.

"I seem to have done something very stupid."

Mordred, he murmured in a self-deprecating voice.

"I am... a knight who protects 'authority'... How ridiculous..."

"I was actually...bewitched by the disaster...to commit such a crime..."

"My king is not wrong... He is not wrong..."

"..."

Mordred's voice gradually became lower and lower, and in the end it was as thin as a mosquito, and it was almost impossible to hear what he was saying.

Luo Xiu listened silently, his expression as calm as ever.

He knew that the reason why Mordred did not become a "Guardian Spirit" with remaining obsessions like other "Knights of the Nation" was probably because he was bewitched by the existence of "Eclipse", which is the "Abyss" , and combines the reasons for its power.

The power of the abyss eroded his soul, but it also allowed him to survive like a monster to this day.

He is not like Greville and Miklos, who "died" once and then relied on obsession to escape from the "dead" state. Instead, he simply embraced the taboo and lived until now...

As for the existence that bewitched Mordred, Luo Xiu guessed that it was most likely a "demon", and at least an "ancient spirit" level demon, otherwise he wouldn't be able to do such a thing.

However, Luo Xiu did not feel the presence of another "devil" here.

He may not have established a contract with Mordred, but only regarded Mordred, who only had the strength of "fourth destiny" at the time, as an object to whom he "gifted" the forbidden power of the abyss when he was interested...

Devils can indeed do such things. The higher the level of the devil, the more interested they will be in things that induce corruption and may lead to chaos.

As for the "disaster" that Mordred kept talking about... Luo Xiu also understood the true symbolic meaning behind this word.

——That is the [Abyss]! It is the abyss race that was born from the Seventh Abyss and invaded the entire world in the ancient age of gods!
In the Age of Gods, the Seven Abyss had not yet been sealed, and when the Pillar Gods and their respective deities were still walking around the world, [Abyss] and "Disaster" could almost be completely equated. .

However, Luo Xiu only knew so much.

Combined with some vague knowledge about that era in his memory, he could only infer this from Mordred's words.

Suddenly, Mordred, who had been lying on the ground motionless for a long time, suddenly opened his eyes again.

Those blue eyes were staring directly at Luo Xiu. His gaze fell on Luo Xiu's black patterned face, as if he wanted to see through the mask and look directly at Luo Xiu's expression under the mask.

"...strange...friends."

Mordred tried all his strength to make his voice as loud as possible, and said intermittently to Luo Xiu: "Thank you... for allowing me to... be free..."

"It's just...I still have...something to worry about."

"..."

"Say it." Luo Xiu responded with a calm voice.

"..."

"Since you can... come here... come to the 'Place of Exile'..."

Mordred's weak voice said: "You should have... met with Greville, Miklos, and... Arpad..."

"I want to know...they..."

"..."

"I set them free."

Luo Xiu still spoke calmly, but his tone changed from cold at the beginning to a hint of gentleness.

"They became undead, and later became guardian spirits. I ended their immortal, wandering, and fallen fate and allowed them to truly rest in peace."

"..."

"That's good."

When Luo Xiu said this, a relieved smile appeared on Mordred's ferocious face.

"This is exactly what a knight...should...end up..."

"..."

"The Rider of Exile" Mordred, his voice was completely silent at this point, his pupils began to dilate, and the last trace of life he held on completely disappeared.

In Luo Xiu's panel, a prompt to kill "Ride of Exile" Mordred popped up at the same time.

He put aside the reward prompts for the time being, took a few steps forward, leaned down, reached out and gently touched Mordred's face, and closed his sluggish eyes that no longer had any brilliance.

After that, Luo Xiu stood up and summoned the "Burning Feather Raven".

The holy flame filled the air like golden mist, covering Mordred's body. The blazing flames burned, lighting up a bright and warm corner of the dark battlefield.

It wasn't until both parts of Mordred's body were burned to ashes and turned into dust that Luo Xiu walked to the burning embers, leaned over and picked up the last, shining piece of "Isol." Pieces of the Crown'. While picking up the fragments, a new prompt appeared on Luo Xiu's panel again.

[You have obtained: King Isol’s crown fragment (4/4)]

[Join four crown fragments to form the "Isol Crown"]

"..."

"Isol Crown..." Luo Xiu muttered the word that appeared on the panel.

He still didn't understand the function of "Isol's Crown", so he didn't do what was said on the panel for the time being, but walked towards the location of his "Shadow Apostles".

The edge of the battlefield.

What happened with Mordred's death was the huge skeletal dragon. Its body finally completely cracked and turned into a pile of bones.

Intis and the five apostles of the "Holy Abyss" stood in front of the collapsed pile of dragon bones, with horrified expressions on their faces.

Previously, although the "Hunting Blade" Undertaker and the "Bloodthirsty Werewolf" Boozer teamed up to successfully put the Skeleton Dragon into a "broken" state, it still had considerable power. There was a fierce battle with the apostles on the battlefield.

Even after Mordred completely fell into "disaster", the power of the skeleton dragon increased a bit.

However, it was eventually conquered by Intis and other apostles, and completely collapsed at the moment of Mordred's death.

Luo Xiu came from the other side of the battlefield, and he saw his tired and injured apostles from a distance.

Their bodies were all covered with scars, and the worst one was "Bloodthirsty Werewolf" Boozer, who suffered the most injuries and was even on the verge of death.

But fortunately, no "Holy Abyss" apostles were killed in battle.

According to Luo Xiu's previous "promise", they all passed the test and were qualified to gain more power and ascend to higher positions in the "Holy Abyss".

When they saw the "Lord" arriving from afar, the apostles' eyes flashed with strange brilliance.

They then gathered around the pile of dragon bones and bowed to their "Lord" Luo Xiu.

"..."

"……very good."

Luo Xiu's eyes glanced around Intis and the other five apostles, and a satisfied expression appeared on the face under the mask.

The young man he carefully selected for combat power did not disappoint him this time... Luo Xiu was very satisfied with the result.

"I said, this is a trial."

"You have passed the test, and I will give you the reward you deserve."

Luo Xiu said in a calm voice while observing the reactions of the apostles.

When he saw his "Holy Abyss" apostles, with expressions of enthusiasm, joy, longing, or piety on their faces, Luo Xiu nodded slightly.

"But now."

"Let us return to our original world first."

"..."

The moment Luo Xiu's words fell to the ground, on the edge of this ancient battlefield, the yellow sand that spread to the end of the field of vision began to surge again.

The world began to shatter in front of his eyes. Luo Xiu also saw that the bodies of him and his "apostles" began to become illusory and slowly disappeared from this space.

In the next moment, Luo Xiu fell into a coma and fell into the valley of consciousness.

When he regained consciousness, Luo Xiu found that he had returned to the ruined church at the ruins of Xifeng Village, the "promised place".

Intis and the other apostles of the "Holy Abyss" also regained consciousness one after another.

Even if this is the case, he has returned from that "place of exile"... Luo Xiu thought to himself.

He killed the biggest boss in the "Land of Exile", and when the "Ride of Exile" Mordred truly died, they who did not belong to that space were automatically sent back.

At this time, all the apostles were looking at Luo Xiu expectantly, waiting for the "reward" he had promised before.

Seeing this, Luo Xiu no longer waited. He put his hand lightly on Intis's shoulder and opened his task panel at the same time.

After silently reciting in his heart the evil blessing of sacrificing Connor and Anthony to be single for ten years, Luo Xiu opened the details page of the hidden mission "Destroyed Exile" and gave the "Complete" instruction.

The panel in front of him floated with light and shadow, and new content immediately appeared in it.

[Completed the hidden mission: Exile of Destruction (Hell Difficulty)]

[You have given "Ride of Exile" Mordred true sleep. 】

[The task is being settled...]

[Completion rewards obtained: Basic experience +38,000, Mordred's legacy, "Forgotten Royal Court" secret realm key]

【……】

["Mordred's Legacy" is being settled...]

[In the battle with "Ride of Exile" Mordred, you learned the technique of "Dragon Thunder Burning". 】

[Acquire the skill "Dragon Thunder Burning Ember (Ancient Heritage, lv.1)"]

[Dragon Thunder Burning Ember (Ancient Heritage, lv.1): Cast a total of 36 dragon thunders containing the power of "fire" to all targets in a wide range, with a total damage of 1800% physical attack + 1800% spell attack. Each dragon thunder causes "fire" damage of 50% physical attack + 50% spell attack, and applies "mild burning" and "mild paralysis" effects to the hit target. 】

【……】

This was the red thunder skill that "Ride of Exile" Mordred used at the very beginning, covering a large area.

Luo Xiu was satisfied with obtaining this "ancient inheritance", which meant that his output ability had once again been greatly enhanced.

The panel was still flashing, and new content appeared in front of him.

【……】

[In the battle with "Exile Rider" Mordred, you understood the essence of the ancient dragon's spell. 】

[Acquire the expertise "Ancient Dragon Knight (Epic)"]

[Ancient Dragon Knight (Epic): Your bloodline contains the power of dragon. Your health and mana will be increased by an additional 20%, and you will gain a new "Dragon Bloodline" effect - when casting "Ancient Dragon" related skills, your mana consumption will be reduced by 30%, and the skill effect will be increased by 30%. At the same time, it is easier for you to gain recognition as a "Dragonborn". 】

【……】

When Luo Xiu browsed to this point, he suddenly felt a tingling sensation coming from the back of his hand.

He raised his arm and looked at where the pain was coming from.

Luo Xiu then saw that on the back of his right hand, a deep mark glowing with red light was looming in it.

It was a mark with a dragon claw in the lower half and a sword blade in the upper half. It carried unknown power and pointed to an unknown end point.

[Activated Mark: Forgotten Royal Court Secret Realm Key]

When Luo Xiu's attention stayed on the mark that appeared on the back of his hand, new content appeared simultaneously on the panel in front of him.

"Is that... the key to the secret realm?"

Luo Xiu thought about it, and at the same time he poured his spirituality into it, completely "activating" the mark.

Luo Xiu saw that the red color suddenly deepened, and the scene around him suddenly became illusory.

Luo Xiu, as well as the "apostles" around him, all felt a strong sense of weightlessness at the same time.

Everyone's vision suddenly became hazy and blurry. The surrounding environment is quickly disappearing and dissipating, and a new scene is slowly forming in the sight.

When his vision became clear again, Luo Xiu saw a magnificent and majestic new picture.

It was an ancient and magnificent palace, and the apostles were prostrate in the middle of the hall.

And Luo Xiu was currently sitting on a huge throne made of gold.
