Chapter 515: Power of Gray

Chapter 515: Power of Gray
The fortress's thick walls are actually hollow.

After being excavated, the interior has become a small kingdom like an ant nest, serving as the base and training ground for various legions.

On the observation platform.

The Gray Lord stood by the railing, his eyes cast down.

Three hundred elite soldiers are detaining the students of the magic high school one by one.

Prior to this, Commander Kawaki died in the Battle of the Building. The Fortress Corps deliberately treated this result as a mystery case, hyping and exaggerating it, and it eventually attracted widespread attention from all walks of life.

The Gray Lord had an indifferent look in his eyes. To be honest, for a monarch to target a group of students was something even he felt was a bit excessive.

But the death of the second son, the qualities displayed by Prince Coffin's experimental subject in battle, and the fact that the other party became a tactical-level magician on the spot, all deserve targeted retaliation.

At this moment, the Silver Monarch is not around.

If the target resists, the Gray Lord does not mind dealing with it personally and detaining him. If the other party resists out of fear of crime, the reputation of the Magic High School will be severely damaged again. Reporters are even about to arrive at the scene.

Honest cooperation does not mean that you will eventually get away with it. After all, there are countless ways to turn a suspicion into a solid case.

The Gray Lord glanced at his empty left wrist.

If the Silver Monarch had not displayed his bizarre strength, he would actually be more accustomed to taking direct action rather than being timid and taking advantage of the situation like he is now.

"Tachibana..."

"Where does your power come from?"

……

In front of the security checkpoint.

"I'm a reporter from Tokyo TV. Is there a definite connection between the magic student and the murder of the legion's high-ranking officials?"

"This is Fortress News. According to gossip, there are rebels hiding on the student bus of the Magic High School. We are investigating further. Please wait for the results."

"Deputy Commander Yihui, can you answer a few questions?"

Dozens of reporters came from all directions, and some supervisors of Nine Clans College and Fortress College even acted as full-time drivers. Every Class A basically represents the highest quality of magic. If it is confirmed that students have assassinated the high-ranking officers of the legion guarding the fortress, the turmoil caused by it will theoretically be no less than an awakening accident.

The scene was a little chaotic.

Yihui Xiumu was obviously not good at dealing with these reporters, but considering the threat from the Silver Monarch, he still greeted them with a smile.

In the wizarding world, there is a universally acknowledged fact.

That is, even as a monarch, he is still powerless to fight against several elite legions. Magical energy will be depleted as it is used, and it is self-evident how much combat power a magician with exhausted magic energy will have.

Based on this reality, public opinion and general trends came onto the stage as important factors and became chess pieces in the game among monarchs. Each monarch established his own power.

"Everyone, please be patient. The case is under investigation..."

Click!

Soldiers came up to the students one by one and detained them.

Maki Nanase secretly contacted the Nanase family, which was ranked among the nine clans, but the reply she got was not to resist. The family had already negotiated to save her and she would be released without charge after being detained for two days, but for other people, the family had no obligation to pay the price to protect them.

“Damn it…” Nanase Maki clenched her fists.

Yin Ren was comforting the students. He knew that this accident was probably the sequelae of the battle in the building, and the students were implicated, which was an unprovoked disaster.

Kamishiro Mirai had a sad face, this was the first time she felt the oppression of power. No matter whether she resisted or not, no matter whether the evidence was true or false, the charges were just excuses, the will of the monarch behind the rotten wood was what was truly above everything else.

"Senior, what should we do?" Kamishiro Mirai lamented in a low voice, "It seems that there is no way to prove that Kawaki's death has nothing to do with us. It's really abominable to frame him."

"I was indeed the one who killed him." Jiang He looked at the girl with a strange look in his eyes.

God's future expression froze: "..."

That’s right, how could she think that the senior was innocent?

As if the sky had fallen, Kamishiro Mirai said with a very sad expression: "Then...what should we do then?"

In the past, she would always worry about her chastity when she was arrested, but with her senior here, the first target would definitely shift. If she had to watch her senior being humiliated by the female soldiers...

Shindai Mirai lowered his head, opened his mouth and tightly grasped his collar. This kind of envy and pain, just thinking about it, makes people physically and mentally exhausted.

Jiang He didn't know that he had become extremely miserable in the girl's mind, and replied calmly:

"Problems will only be masked by bigger problems."

Not far away, a tall woman came over.

Guangjing came to someone and took out the handcuffs. She said with regret: "I'm sorry, this is the only solution I can take."

"You are stubborn and stubborn. It's time to turn back."

A hint of viciousness flashed across Jiang He's eyes.

Violence +2.

In the first encounter, he could be considered a magician observing.

The second time he encountered it, he could be considered to be treating a psychopath with preferential treatment.

But three times is not enough.

The other party already made him feel bored.

"Everyone, take them to the fortress prison and interrogate them one by one!"

A rotten tree in the crowd shouted loudly.

But at the same time, on the distant building, a knight who had detached and moved away at some point raised a silver-gray revolver.

A drop of blood extracted from the prince was catalyzed by shaping magic and successfully created a bright red bullet.

The great magic reversal begins.

The blessed blood of the First Embrace turned into a fatal curse.

boom!
A long and crisp gunshot rang out.

Across a long distance, the bright red bullet directly hit the heart of a gray rotten tree.

In an instant, the transformation of the Duke's bloodline began.

The face of the rotten wood quickly turned pale, but the details of his appearance were slightly adjusted to make him more handsome. His sharp nails spread like blades, and his two fangs were ready to bite anyone.

At the same time, Jiang He activated the special effect of the first emperor - Royal Minister: the holder can obtain the five senses of a large group of members, and when his own spiritual will is not lower than gold, he can descend with the will of the same world.

At the moment when a rotten wood became a dependent, a strong heroic will came.

"What's happening to my body!"

A gray rotten tree's face was filled with horror, as if it were a nightmare. He could clearly feel the changes in himself, but was completely powerless to stop it.

The next moment, some of the vampires' iconic blood-red wings extended from behind him.

call!
Hundreds of feathers flew around like sharp blades, piercing through the torsos of dozens of legionnaires. Blood and vitality flowed out of the huge wounds. Until their death, the faces of these soldiers were still full of confusion.

"High nobles!"

"A piece of rotten wood turned out to be a high-ranking noble!"

"Run, leave this place!"

The great change came so suddenly, a piece of gray rotten wood took a unique step, matched with the extreme speed of the blood clan itself, his figure was like a stream of light, constantly moving among the soldiers of the legion, and blood-red fireworks rose up.

——The Dragon-Suppressing Step.

Whoosh whoosh!
Guang Jing sensed the crisis instinctively, but as soon as she turned around, blood was already in front of her. Qian Shanxue released the Dragon Spear Technique in the form of a hand knife, with dense and sharp thrusts, blasting big holes all over her body, and then her body exploded.

A splash of blood dripped down someone's cheek.

Jiang He's expression didn't change at all.

He had no problem dealing with the light mirror that wanted to distort his will.

"Oh, is it so heartless?"

The woman's soul-stirring laughter echoed in my ears.

Jiang He's eyes were calm. Ever since the Saint Lilith began its sub-legendary evolution, Lao Li seemed to have the ability to influence the outside world.

"Domination by the outside world equals distortion of the self?"

Obviously, the light mirror is Lilith's toy, and therefore it displays incredible thinking logic.

"She couldn't accept the result of failing miserably after giving it her all, so she began to avoid you in her heart. She consoled herself by thinking about you, but it still couldn't change the nature of her targeting you." Lilith smiled, "You can't blame me for taking advantage of her."

Jiang He remained silent. The methods of the gods, especially the goddess named Scarlet, seemed a little weird at first glance and had nothing to do with being aboveboard.

Just a moment.

A piece of rotten wood killed hundreds of people.

The killing skill that has been perfected to the extreme looks as gorgeous and beautiful as art from afar. It is a rare achievement forged through thousands of trials and countless deaths.

On the observation platform, the Gray Lord had a grim look on his face.

A huge sword suddenly appeared. It was mainly gray in color, with gray agate inlaid in the center of the hilt. The material seemed to be metal. The sword body was broad and thick, and the blade had a wavy texture. Gray mist lingered around it, suppressing the sky like a mountain.

——The monarchy of gray.

After giving birth to great magic, if one obtains the recognition of the Sword of Damocles, not only can the great magic be sublimated into something like power, but the power of the Sword of Sovereignty itself can also be harnessed and significantly amplified.

Lilith appeared beside him, looking up and chuckling, "Authority is the power held in your hands, and power is the attribute of power itself. In the mysterious field, power can be generally regarded as incomplete authority. This is the legacy of the Angry Immortal."

"If you can gather all seven Swords of Damocles and become a candidate for Wrath, the restrictions on the extraordinary burst will probably be lifted, and the burst multiplier will continue to increase as your level increases."

"And this skill is also the fundamental reason why Origin gave you the invitation to this world."

There was a rare glimmer of anticipation in Lilith's eyes. The anger of the juvenile form only symbolized the explosive power that broke through the limit, but for the battle, it was still a huge increase.

"So, the monarch has two kinds of sublimated great magic?" Jiang He asked. He himself possessed one, and the Sword of Damocles gave him another. The two powers were undoubtedly far ahead of the tactical level.

“That’s roughly the case, but because they have their own characteristics, they are recognized, so it is quite normal for the two to be similar or even overlap.”

"In addition, I suggest you don't expect too much from the direct increase in the power of the final wrath candidate. After all, the extraordinary burst you created is already very close to the candidate. The real focus is on breaking the limit, and the energy reserve must be strengthened at the same time. This thing is not without consumption."

Lilith disappeared quietly. Compared to toys like the light mirror that she could pick up by bending over, she preferred to raise it with her own hands.

Jiang He remained silent. In fact, when he activated the extraordinary burst, it was usually only at the critical juncture. Although it was terrifying that each move was strengthened, the huge energy consumption obviously could not support the activation.

"The legion commander is crazy, shoot!"

"What's crazy? He is a vampire!"

"What's the point of saving face at this time? Inform the Blue Monarch!"

Due to the huge changes, the scene was extremely chaotic.

A rotten tree looked at itself in despair as it rushed towards the downtown area.

The Lord of Gray couldn't help but sigh. In a short period of time, he failed to use the power of curse to lock on the enemy behind the scenes. The death of his second son was nothing, but if his eldest son also died, the number of targets for training would be very small.

It's a pity that there is no other choice at the moment. Once Xiu Mu is allowed to start a bloody killing, the backlash will impact the entire Yihui family. Just his current identity as a vampire is actually quite troublesome.

“But it’s not a huge crisis.”

"It's hard to carve a rotten tree."

"Try harder in your next life."

boom!
The Gray Monarch looked indifferent as he rushed out from the observation platform.

In front of the security checkpoint, Kamishiro Mirai stared blankly at the huge changes in front of her. Other people's inherent impression of their predecessors might still be that they were experimental warriors who specialized in physical strength, but her intuition told her that this matter was related to the other party.

"boarding."

Jiang He was the first to board the bus.

Nanase Maki reacted quickly and uncuffed the students one by one. After everyone got on the bus, Silver Blade immediately stepped on the accelerator, and a senior officer from the Nanase family opened the huge door of the fortress.

The military bus quickly went away.

At the table, Kamishiro Mirai took out his lunch box. His mood had calmed down. He left the difficulties and unexpected events to the executive officer and, as the accompanying adjutant, he only needed to handle miscellaneous matters.

"Senior, I made Tamagoyaki myself."

"Egg rolls?"

"Different."

Jiang He opened the box and ate it all. The answer was that it was about the same, except that there were some ingredients like milk. Of course, it could also be a problem with Kamishiro's cooking skills.

With a clang, the military bus rolled over a rock. Before the apocalypse, it took an hour's drive from Tokyo Fortress to Yokohama City in Kanagawa Prefecture. However, with the advent of the apocalypse, the situation in the wilderness was complicated and it was expected to take most of the day.
