Xue Hua pondered for a while, then with his eyes fixed, he walked to the sword stuck on the ground and tentatively tried to pull the sword out from the ground. Summit 23S.
Fastest update
But as soon as his hand touched the hilt of the sword, a cold consciousness penetrated directly from the sword into his body. This consciousness was different from the death-like coldness of the Skeleton King before, but it
But it resonated with the Skeleton King's soul fragment sealed in the crown on Xue Hua's right hand.
The two consciousnesses were entangled in Xue Hua's thoughts, causing him to spin in circles in a daze, as if he was possessed by a ghost.
It wasn't until Isa in the main hive mind sent an alarm to him that Xue Hua's own consciousness completely transcended from it.
"enough!!"
His voice roared out from the spiritual universe, declaring his dominance like the king of the world.
The two strands of consciousness that were entangled were shaken apart by Xue Hua's huge spiritual power, but it didn't take long for them to become entangled again.
Xue Hua's consciousness gradually became impatient. Just when he was about to solve this problem once and for all, the two consciousnesses suddenly merged together in a knot, and a picture from ancient times was revealed to Xue Hua's consciousness.
When Xue Hua opened his eyes again, he realized that he was in a luxurious palace hall, with several people standing on the bright red carpet in the center of the hall.
In front of these people, behind a desk at the back of the hall, a guy with half gray and half white hair and a ferocious and crazy expression on his face was sitting on a chair, swearing loudly at those people.
This guy who is cursing has a crown on his head that Xue Hua must be very familiar with, and is also wearing a bright red and gorgeous king's robe. He is obviously the "Black Mad Lord" Leoric who was corrupted by Diavolo and went crazy.
.
He was obviously still alive at this time, but he was probably not far from death.
Because Xue Hua heard Leoric asking those people standing in front of the desk why they had returned from Westmarch.
If he guessed correctly, the scene happening in front of him was exactly the scene where Leoric rebuked the captain of the guard as a traitor after he returned from the battlefield of Westmarch with a huge defeat.
At that time, Westmarch was in a period of subversion, and its domestic Knights Templar were the top military in the entire first world.
And Tristram is just a newly built small kingdom, and the outcome of this war has been doomed from the beginning.
Not to mention that Westmarch was still the suzerain state of Tristram at the time, and Leoric's behavior of raising an army to attack was basically the same as rebellion.
They don't get any support, either from their own citizens or from public opinion in other human countries, condemning their actions.
Therefore, this war can be said to be defeatable and meaningless.
However, Leoric, who had been tortured to madness by Diablo at that time, obviously didn't see it that way.
Xue Hua saw that above the main hall, the King of Tristram was cursing his guard captain with all kinds of unpleasant words for no reason.
He spurned them, calling the loyal general a "traitor" and a "coward", and turned a deaf ear to any excuses offered by the captain of the guard.
"Your Majesty! Our army is exhausted and lacks supplies, and we have no support from any of our subjects..."
The captain of the guard lowered his head and half-knelt in front of the emperor, trying pointlessly to explain to his monarch, but Leoric interrupted him without hesitation, roaring and cursing: "Don't make excuses! You idiot
Traitor! What did those liars from Westermar do to bribe you?! Do you dare to lie in front of me?"
"Your Majesty! I didn't..."
"Shut up! You damn traitor! I trust you so much and use you so much. Is this how you repay my trust?!"
"Kings......"
"I'm going to kill you! Kill you! If I kill you, no one will dare to disobey me!"
Leoric took out the long sword from his waist and walked around the desk to the captain of the guard with a crazy look on his face.
At this time, Xue Hua noticed that the aura on Leoric's body seemed very strange. This strangeness did not come from Diavolo's demonic aura, but more like a conflict between two forces.
The power in his body seemed to be undergoing some kind of change, and this change was mixed with a power system that Xue Hua felt very familiar with.
He is a professional!
But it’s somewhat specious?
Xue Hua couldn't help but frown, and looked at Leoric with some doubts as he walked towards the captain of the imperial guard with his sword in one step.
A layer of strange light began to form under his feet, which looked like the prototype of some kind of paladin aura.
The captain of the guard began to retreat in a panic, and he and the people behind him began to persuade their king.
But Leoric seemed to have suddenly lost his soul. His eyes were straight, and his face was filled with a terrifying but empty vicious expression.
Click!!
Leoric swung his sword, but it hit the carpet directly in front of the captain of the guard.
Although this sword looked extremely sharp, it completely missed its target.
According to Leoric's original strength, if he wanted to kill someone, at least he would never make such a stupid mistake.
"Isa, are you there?" Xue Hua felt more and more that there was something wrong with Leoric's state at this time, so he began to call the adjutant in the main nest mind.
"I am here, Lord. What you are seeing now is a memory illusion left by a certain consciousness. It will not have any impact on you."
Isa's voice sounded in his heart, and she also explained to him his current state.
"I understand, but can you now analyze what changes have happened to King Leoric, the human being in front of me?
Does he look like something's wrong?"
"Master, the psychic energy fluctuations in the human being you are seeing are currently in an unstable transformation process.
His power is too strong, and the world will of this world is also undergoing changes, so he cannot be included in the new rule system at once.
So he was affected, and because of the spiritual incompleteness of this human being, this effect was greatly amplified on him."
"So that's it, a cocktail disaster..."
Xue Hua nodded thoughtfully, somewhat understanding why the captain of the Imperial Guard was not as strong as Leoric but could easily kill him.
At this moment, Leoric was undergoing a double change.
The first level is the process of seeking regularization of the will of this world that is being invaded. It is trying to bring all the powerful back into a new rule system.
This inclusion will have no impact on those with lower levels of force, and the natural transformation process will soon take effect on them.
And these powerful people who were included in the rules were the first batch of professionals born.
But for a superpower like Leoric at the time, it was a bit uncomfortable to adapt to the suddenly changed world rules.
The power within their bodies had already fully complied with the previous world rules. This sudden new rule not only greatly weakened their power, but also caused them to fall into a state of confusion in a short period of time.
This situation is particularly serious for Leoric, because in addition to being challenged by the new rules, he is also undergoing the mental erosion of the hell demon Diavolo.
The dual changes from the Will of the World and the Demon God of Hell made Leoric unable to hold on anymore. He became extremely crazy and even unreasonable, and was no longer qualified for the important task of King Tristram.
Just when Xue Hua and Leoric were feeling a little sorry, the picture in front of them took a major turn.
The crazy King Leoric finally forced his guard captain into a blind corner, and looking at the sword shining in front of him and the lord's crazy eyes, the guard captain finally couldn't hold on any longer.
With a look of sadness on his face, he pulled out the golden sword from his waist, closed his eyes and stabbed the sword into the king's chest...
