Chapter 280 [Knight King] and [Sword of Promised Victory]
Chapter 280 [Knight King] and [Sword of Promised Victory]
Faced with the sudden appearance of the demon, Russell took a few steps back calmly.
"Don't be so nervous, I have no ill intentions." The cloaked demon noticed Russell's little move and said calmly, "But you probably won't feel comfortable letting him go like this."
"Why don't you leave a few of your men here to watch him, and we can talk somewhere else."
Hearing this, Russell was a little confused about what the other party wanted to do.
After a moment of silence, he finally agreed: "Okay."
In Russell's perception, although the opponent was a little tricky, it was still within the range that Xiao Wu could handle.
He then disappeared from the spot, taking the cloaked demon away from the town, just in case a fight broke out and he would have to deal with the demons in the town as well.
Soon, he reached the maximum distance that could sustain the ghost soldiers.
Because he didn't know whether there were any long-distance detection methods in front of him, Russell did not choose to directly deal with the demon he had kidnapped.
He was ready to leave after the conversation.
However, the first words of the cloaked demon surprised Russell: "I noticed you before in the royal city."
"You are the strongest outsider I have ever met."
Hearing the other party's words, Russell couldn't help but frown slightly.
He hadn't sensed the other party's presence at all in the royal city before.
"I told you don't have to be nervous. I mean no harm." As if seeing Russell's fear, the cloaked demon chuckled.
Then, in order to show his sincerity, he took off his hood and revealed his true face to Russell.
When Russell saw the other person's appearance, he was stunned.
What appeared before him was a man with a very old face, which was in complete contrast to his tall and strong figure.
"It's surprising, isn't it?" The demon sighed after taking off his hood, "I didn't expect I could live that long."
"Heh, I'm afraid those guys in the royal city won't recognize me anymore."
However, Russell did not pay attention to the huge amount of information in the other party's words, and just asked calmly: "What do you want from me?"
He still remembers what was written in his school textbooks: never to believe in demons.
So Russell did not let down his guard just because of a few words from the demon in front of him.
Hearing his question, the demon shook his head slightly: "My name is Gulan. I know you won't believe me in a short time, but I have a way to make you less guarded against me."
Hearing this, Russell felt a little confused, but then he heard Gulan continue to say: "World Devourer, I%￥#!"
Then Russell stared at Gulan in front of him in amazement.
He had no idea why the other party suddenly started swearing.
Seeing Russell's performance, Gulan was a little surprised: "You don't even know His name?"
"The World Devourer is the mastermind behind the erosion of your world."
"Ok?"
It was at this time that Gulan realized that the last two characters of the name he said were automatically blocked. He was so busy venting his emotions that he didn't pay any attention to this side detail.
"So that's how it is." Gulan's expression suddenly became very complicated. He stared at the young man in front of him, as if he saw someone's shadow in him. "You have a heavy burden on you too."
Russell was a little confused for a moment: "What do you mean?"
Hearing this, Gulan looked at him quietly: "I didn't block His name."
"World Devourer**."
Russell was skeptical about Gulan's words. After all, it was impossible for him to have everything he said.
However, this [World-Devouring **] was the first time he had heard of it.
Previously in other secret realms, even if demons mentioned the mastermind behind the scenes, they basically used that existence as a reference.
Although it's of no use, the head will explode anyway.
Russell then realized that Gulan's head didn't explode like a watermelon: "How are you okay?"
Gulan showed a trace of sadness at this time, but he immediately concealed it: "It's just a gift from my mother."
Then he changed the subject: "Tell me about your world."
"You should have noticed that the secret realms in your world have appeared more and more frequently recently, right?"
Hearing this, Russell was a little surprised: "How did you know?"
According to what Leon said before, he could basically conclude that this secret realm had only appeared for a short time.
So logically speaking, Gulan shouldn't be so familiar with the situation outside.
"That's because we've experienced it, too." Gulan sneered, then said seriously, "Do you think the World Devouring Demon is only targeting you?"
Hearing this, Russell suddenly felt something was wrong.
"The World Devouring ** is eroding at the same time."
"There's more than one world."
The sudden huge amount of information made Russell a little dizzy. He never expected that he would obtain such amazing information in the secret place where he accidentally wandered.
No.
Considering what Gulan just said, it might not be an accident.
But after just a moment, Russell calmed himself down: "You mean because some worlds have been destroyed, He can spare His time and invest more power in our world?"
You should know that there have always been many weak secret realms on Blue Star.
If it is true as Gulan said that the mastermind behind the scenes is eroding many worlds at the same time, then those weak worlds will not be able to hold on for long.
Destruction is only a matter of time.
However, at this moment, Gulan showed a sarcastic smile on his face: "It is not destruction, but transformation."
“Although for some people, it is no different from extinction.”
As he spoke, he poked the ground under his feet with the rusty sword in his hand: "Just like here."
After a moment of silence, Russell asked, "So what did you come to see me about?"
Facing Russell's question, Gulan looked at him steadily, and then asked another question: "The two swords of Adams should be in your hands, right?"
"Can you take it out so I can see it?"
Hearing this, Russell couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, but finally prepared to take out the two swords that had turned into scrap metal.
Although he didn't know why the person in front of him mentioned the two swords of Adams, the power in them had already been condensed into materials by him, and the two pieces of scrap iron would not be able to cause any trouble.
As he thought of this, the dim sword bodies of the [Sword of the King] and the [Holy Sword of the Starry Sky] were inserted into the mud in front of him.
When Gulan saw the two swords in this state, a look of "as expected" flashed across his eyes, and then he stepped forward and gently stroked the [Holy Sword of the Starry Sky]: "I'm sorry that you have been controlled by the descendants of that traitor."
As his voice fell, the blade of the [Starry Sky Holy Sword] trembled slightly, as if responding to him.
Then Gulan turned his gaze to the [Sword of the King] again, anger and sadness flashed quickly across his face, but in the end he said nothing, just sighed heavily.
After a moment, the old man calmed down and said to Russell: "As I expected, you can extract the abilities of others for your own use."
“It’s really powerful.”
After sighing, Gulan suddenly became serious: "I want to make a deal with you."
Hearing about the deal, Russell couldn't help but become alert. Although the person in front of him had revealed so much information to him so far and had not been shot in the head by the World-Swallowing Demon, he had already cleared his identity to a great extent.
But he was still very cautious when it came to transactions.
Gulan ignored the young man's vigilance and continued, "The terms of the deal are that you and I will work together to break out of this secret realm, and then you will take me to find the person who can make the decision in your world."
"The reward is this sword in my hand."
"how?"
In order to show his sincerity, Gulan threw the rusty sword in his hand directly to Russell: "You can extract the power from it first."
However, Russell remained unmoved at this time, and his inner alarm had been sounded to the highest level.
After all, Gulan's deal sounds like he's asking him to be a traitor.
As if he saw that he was about to refuse, the old man sighed and then pulled open his cloak.
The next thing that appeared in front of Russell was a body emitting a faint glow.
However, compared to the body, the most eye-catching thing is the huge hole in the opponent's abdomen, in which a glass-like spherical object is embedded.
Russell was a little confused for a moment, wondering why Gulan suddenly became an exhibitionist.
Just as he was about to ask, the card belonging to Spider-Man in his mind suddenly vibrated, telling Russell to let her go.
Russell was stunned, but still called Spider-Man out.
"Hey, Russell, what are you calling me, Spider-Man? "
"Didn't you ask me to let you out?"
"?"
The man and the spider just stared at each other and fell into silence.
At this moment, an inexplicable wave occurred, and then a mobile phone appeared in Gulan's hand.
Russell's eyes widened upon seeing this. Of course he recognized that this phone was the same one that appeared when Spider-Man's [Superior's Gaze] feature was activated last time.
Before I could say anything, the phone started ringing.
Gulan's face first showed a bit of surprise, and then he seemed to realize something and answered the phone: "I agree to your deal."
Hearing this, the old man was silent for a long time before he uttered one word: "Okay."
Then, under Russell's gaze, he forcibly pulled out the ball from his abdomen.
The next moment, the phone disappeared along with the ball. At this moment, in Russell's perception, as Gulan pulled out the ball, his breath was rapidly declining, and soon he was on the verge of death.
But unlike his extremely weak breath, Gulan's eyes sparkled at the end of his life: "It seems that you are the same as me."
"I hope you don't follow in my footsteps."
"Wait!" Russell shouted immediately upon seeing this, "Why did you choose me?"
However, facing his question, Gulan did not give a direct answer, but glanced at Amina who was looking around not far away: "You are a good person."
After saying this, the old man fell silent.
"what?!"
Russell looked at Gulan, who had turned into a corpse in front of him, with a confused look on his face.
All I can say is that things have completely gotten out of control with the appearance of Spider-Man.
"Hey, come back to your senses Russell."
At this moment, a pale forelimb swayed in front of the young man.
Ignoring the funny little Spider, Russell curled his lips and picked up the rusty sword beside him.
at this point
Let’s eat first.
He already had some guesses about who was on the other end of the phone, but he needed more information to support it.
Soon the materials for the rusty sword appeared in Russell's hands.
Emerald Grade [Blade of Salvation] (Color).
He stared at the colorful materials in his hands in a daze.
It was the first time that the young man had seen material of this quality. He had originally thought that it was impossible for material of color quality to exist.
". Could it be that this thing was once a palace-level weapon?"
Russell looked at the rusty sword he had thrown aside with some disbelief.
Then he turned his gaze to Gulan's body.
"No way"
Russell couldn't help swallowing, and then he condensed the material of Gulan.
Emerald Level [Holy Sword Master of Destiny] (Color).
It is the same color as [Blade of Salvation].
"really."
Russell didn't know what to say for a moment. The two new materials would undoubtedly allow him to upgrade Lily and [Silver Arm] to Emerald level.
Thinking of this, he put away the materials, stood there in silence for a while, then sighed, dug a hole and buried Gulan and the three swords together.
It was also a final respect for the good man who had inexplicably given him two big gifts.
That’s right, Gulan has been moved from the demon group to the good guy group by Russell.
Then he cleaned up the scene a little, and hurriedly found a cave to upgrade two cards.
In the cave, Russell looked solemn as he watched the [Silver Arm] and [Pure White Knight Princess] floating in front of him.
This was his first attempt at investing chain cards in a card promotion, and this time it involved two colored materials.
I hope the final result will not disappoint him.
As Russell wrapped his mental power around the two cards and six materials, he arrived at the mysterious space in a flash.
Please continue to edit your story.
In the mysterious space, Russell ignored the messages emerging in his mind and just stared at this quiet space quietly.
After a long time, he started to make the cards this time.
[After completing her journey, Altria successfully inherited the throne. ]
[However, at this time, the kingdom was already in turmoil both inside and outside the country. ]
[In order to stabilize the situation, Altria had no choice but to conceal her gender and marry Guinevere as a king. ]
[Of course, her honesty made her confess everything to the queen on her wedding night.]
[Although Guinevere was extremely disappointed, she still chose to forgive. ]
[Later, Lancelot, the chief knight of the Round Table, discovered that the king and the queen were not in harmony, so he personally talked to the queen, hoping to relieve the king's worries.]
[It was at this time that Lancelot discovered the true identity of Altria. ]
[In this way, he fell in love with Queen Guinevere. ]
[Apart from the unhappy marriage with the queen, after Altria succeeded to the throne, she was brave and diligent, and established countless merits with the Knights of the Round Table. No one could stop the sword of the kingdom. ]
[It was just that due to a battle that did not follow the code of chivalry, the sword in the stone held by Altria broke. ]
[So Merlin took her to the Holy Lake Pang, and got the holy sword Excalibur from the lake fairy. ]
[When asked by Merlin whether to choose between the sword or the scabbard, Altria chose the sword that represents domination.]
[Perhaps because of this reason, the scabbard, the distant utopia, finally left the king. ]
[But even so, as the holy sword of the stars, Excalibur still possesses incredible power. ]
[In order to restrain this power, Altria and the Knights of the Round Table added restraints to it.]
[However, as time went on, the knights under Altria gradually developed some dissatisfaction in their hearts. ]
[Because Altria is as cold as a machine, calculating the gains and losses of everything as if she has no emotions in her heart.]
[Until that day, Tristan, the Knight of the Round Table, said: "King Arthur, does not understand the human heart."]
【The king's position was shaken.】
[In the tenth year of Altria's succession to the throne, Lancelot and Guinevere's relationship was exposed, and Lancelot chose to defect in desperation.]
[It was only when Guinevere was about to be executed that he chose to come back and rescue her.]
【Since then, the Knights of the Round Table are on the verge of collapse. 】
[During this period, Altria's sister Morgan created the artificial man "Mordred" based on Altria. ]
[Mordred worships Altria, his nominal "father", extremely. After becoming a Knight of the Round Table, she chooses to confront him.]
[Unfortunately, Altria was just shocked by this. ]
[The perfect king knows very well how serious the consequences will be if the other party's "illegitimate child (female)" identity is exposed. 】
[Faced with Mordred's request to claim his inheritance rights, she chose to refuse.]
[But she did not bear any grudge against Mordred because of this. Instead, she entrusted the important task of protecting the kingdom to her during her expedition, trying to influence her.]
[Mordred betrayed her trust, and she gathered the princes and launched a rebellion. ]
[At this time, Artoria, who had just returned from the expedition, was already exhausted. In the end, she used the holy spear Rhongomyniad to end the battle called "The Battle of Sword Lan". ]
[After this battle, Altria knew that she was powerless to recover.]
[The lonely king who dedicated everything to the empire finally fell. 】
[In the end, she just asked Bedivere to return the holy sword Excalibur to the Fairy of the Lake to end her life.]
As the long card-making process came to an end, Russell returned to reality with a tired look on his face.
But when he was about to put away the cards, he was stunned.
Because at this time, the only card floating in front of him was the card belonging to [Altria].
"what's the situation?"
Russell put [Altria] into his mind with some doubt.
But then he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

A voice mixed with disbelief and ecstasy came from the cave.
