Leoric looked at the long sword on his chest in disbelief, which was the sword he had personally given to the captain of the Guard. Apex 23S.
Fastest update
He couldn't imagine that this sword would be inserted into his chest one day...
The king took two steps back and looked at the captain of the guard who was also stunned with his bloodshot eyes.
"Traitor, how dare you...kill...the king!"
"I..." The king's voice brought the captain of the guard out of his trance. He looked at Leoric's staggering figure and didn't know what to do for a moment.
Everyone in the entire hall was stunned. They did not expect that the king would be stabbed through the heart by his own captain of the guard.
Outside the main hall, the originally sunny weather suddenly turned gloomy for no reason, and violent storms swept across the entire Kingdom of Tristram in just a few seconds.
Thick clouds shrouded everyone's hearts just like the weather. Leoric still couldn't hold on after all.
It staggered back to its desk, sat down on the chair with its eyes wide open.
Then, there was no sound.
"this......"
"The sky is falling!!"
"Oh My God......"
"By the gods..."
Everyone in the hall panicked. The few officers who came to meet the king with the captain of the guard looked at each other, then turned around and fled without hesitation.
Seeing them running away, everyone else in the hall also ran out.
Leoric's crazy rule has long lost the hearts of the people. Although the people here don't have the courage to kill the king with a sword, when they see him being killed, no one is willing to take action to avenge him.
The hall soon became empty, with only the captain of the guard still standing there blankly looking at the body of King Leoric on the chair.
The king stared at him with his bloodshot eyes wide from beginning to end.
The blankness in the captain's mind lasted for a long time. It wasn't until the lightning and thunder outside the window woke him up that he realized what he had just done.
He personally killed the monarch he had sworn to protect with his life.
He is...a regicide!
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!!"
The emotional and moral conflict made the captain of the Guards unable to suppress his panic any longer. He shouted like crazy, venting the complex emotions in his heart.
It wasn't until a long time later that the captain of the Imperial Guard slowly calmed down.
He stood there hesitating for a while, then slowly walked to Leoric's body with three unsteady steps, stretched out his hand and pulled out the long sword stuck in the king's chest, holding it and standing next to his former monarch.
.
"I...what I did..."
The face of the guard captain was mixed with emotions such as sadness, pain, self-blame and relief. Although Leoric's rule has been sliding into the abyss of terror in recent times, as the most loyal guard captain to him,
The king's closest vassal.
He still firmly believed that sooner or later, His Majesty the King would turn back into that sage monarch.
However, now everything is over.
The era of King Leoric was ended by his own hands.
"I... broke my oath with my own hands... I am... the regicide..."
The captain of the Imperial Guard was in a daze, clutching the long sword that was still dripping with blood, but the look in his eyes slowly became sober.
"The king is dead, and the reign of the 'Mad King' is over. I don't know whether this is good or bad, but everything has been cast..."
He smiled bitterly and shook his head, instinctively trying to excuse his behavior.
"No matter what, let it all end with me. This terrifying title of 'Kingslayer'... can only be shouldered by me!"
The captain of the guard raised his head firmly, put the long sword stained with the king's blood on his neck, and then pulled it out with all his strength!
puff!
Ding ding ding......
The long sword fell next to the red pool of blood, and the entire memory scene came to an abrupt end...
Xue Hua slowly opened his eyes. He once again returned to the tomb with the empty coffin. There was a strange chill in the darkness around him, but Xue Hua was holding the killing weapon in his left hand.
The king's golden grade sword.
Bloody Kingslayer Knight Sword (Gold Level)
One-handed damage:147-156
Required Level: 1
+40% enhanced damage
+76-88 Cold Damage, 6 seconds duration

Intangible (irreparable)
Durability 1/1 (can only attack once).
"This sword...hehe..." Xue Hua shook his head.
This is really a dragon-slaying sword that you can give away with just one click!
It's just that this sword can really only be used to "slay dragons"...
He was just a little curious about the purpose of this long sword stuck here, but he didn't expect to end up with such a strange thing...
The other attributes of this sword are normal attributes that can be ignored, but the 5,000% increase in damage to monarch-level life and the "continuous damage to the holder's life force" are very interesting.
To put it bluntly, the former attribute allows the person holding the sword to use it to cause trouble for the Skeleton King, but the latter attribute...
All I can say is hehe~
At least for the moment when Xue Hua held it in his hand, he could clearly feel that this sword was continuously eroding the vitality in his body. However, because he had the two skills of cell reorganization and damage transfer, this sword was very effective against
His injuries were not fully reflected.
If an ordinary necromancer of level 30 or above were holding this sword, he would probably be killed by it within a few minutes.
Even more powerful professionals, as long as they do not reach the legendary level, will have a hard time withstanding the erosion of vitality caused by this sword.
And even a legendary level powerhouse would have a hard time resisting the tenfold erosion of life force at the moment of swinging this sword.
In other words, if ordinary people want to use the sword that once killed the Skeleton King to kill him again, they must have a firm mentality of dying with him.
However, for Xue Hua, the corrosive power of this sword is not that unbearable. His body has already begun the process of transcending to a higher life form due to the effect of the new skill "Sublimation". In addition, he can absorb the corrosive power of the sword.
Most of the power is shunted to millions of insect swarms, and the remaining corrosive power cannot cause any harm to him due to the powerful self-healing power of the cell reorganization skill.
Therefore, this sword in his hand has become the ultimate weapon to kill the Skeleton King.
But even with the weapons, Xue Hua couldn't really go head-to-head with the Skeleton King.
In any case, he is only a level 33 necromancer. If he were to use this sword to stab the Skeleton King, he would probably have been killed by the Skeleton King's hammer before he even got close.
.....
So if they want to really use this sword, they must think of a perfect way.
At least let Xue Hua get close to the Skeleton King safely.
This is not something that can be done easily!
Xue Hua threw the sword into the inventory, looked up at the steps going down not far away, and a thoughtful look gradually appeared on his face...
