Facing King Arthur's charge, the brain monster seemed to show a trace of panic. But it reacted quickly, and immediately knew how to move towards the tentacle waving it, raising a shock wave full of blood and flesh fragments, trying to stop King Arthur.
Arthur held the scabbard of the Holy Sword in his left hand, and did not care about such a weak shock wave. He still maintained a fast sprint, and at the moment when he was about to be hit by the shock wave, he raised the scabbard and unfolded the Holy Shield.
The Holy Shield is the same as King Arthur's original Holy Spirit Griffin Shield. It can "break away" all attacks in the world. It does not block it head-on, but changes the intensity or energy of the impact from smooth to invisible.
One side of the shield is removed, making all attacks ineffective at that moment.
No matter how powerful it is, attacks that miss will not pose any threat. Therefore, the Holy Shield is an invincible defense method, even if it can only maintain invincibility for a moment.
That moment was enough. In that moment, less than half a second, it was enough for Arthur to get close enough to kill the brain monster. The brain monster still waved its blood-red tentacles made of nerves, intending to beat him.
Arthur. But the holy sword swung by the King of Knights cut all the tentacles into pieces in an instant, and then the blade pointed directly at the monster's forehead ------ or head ------ anyway, its entire head.
It is composed of a head.
Buzz!! The roar of the lightsaber only lasted a moment, and the brain monster's head was cut into two pieces, the left hemisphere and the right hemisphere.
Snap!!
The thing fell weakly.
The strange thing is that Arthur had just intended to use the light blade to cut the "Abyss Grimoire", but the brain monster was unwilling to let go of the thick and cumbersome metal book until death. And Arthur's sword blade was clearly
He had already touched the body of the grimoire, but it passed through the book like a phantom, directly cutting the brain monster behind the book into two halves.
The thick grimoire fell to the ground with a thud, but it was intact. At that moment, Arthur almost had the illusion that this book did not exist in the normal space where they were, but was higher...
It clearly has no mouth, so I don't know where it came from.
Then, a large number of images, or fragments of someone's memory, flowed into Arthur's mind, forcibly instilling these memories into Arthur's mind like mental pollution.
A certain day of a certain year and a certain month.
"This is it!" The ferocious-looking bandit leader found the dark metal grimoire under the treasure chest from a mysterious ancient ruin that was heavily sealed in the deepest part of the cave.
It looked very old, and was even covered with a thick layer of dust when it was discovered. But this wonderful scripture is almost indestructible. The weathering of years and the erosion of oxygen are not even on its surface.
There are no traces left on it. After a little cleaning with water, this strange book will immediately look like brand new.
Dozens of his men died just to find the valuable treasure at the bottom of the box in this ruins full of traps, but apart from half a box of less valuable gold coins, they only found this book.
If this damn thing wasn't worth it, then they would have really suffered a big loss on this trip.
The ferocious-looking bandit leader is illiterate. He has never read and has always despised books. He believes that when people have time to read books and study, it is better to use their brains and think more about evil ways to make money. However, this thing is a relic.
He believed that there must be something in this book. Otherwise, it would be unreasonable to build a huge ruins with many traps just to protect a broken book. Could it be that this book is actually a treasure map?
, indicating the location of a greater treasure?
With doubts and curiosity, and with his innate greed, the bandit leader opened the Abyss Grimoire.
The knowledge in the books made him gradually crazy. From the words that he could not read, he read the true meaning of all things in the universe, how to transcend life and control death, and how to make [people] incomplete.
A ritual for a creature to transform from one form into another.
He found it from the Grimoire, [The Wisdom of Madmen].
Gradually, he can no longer be satisfied with the status quo of being a [human being].
Gradually, he wants to transform into a creature above [human].
Therefore, he performed the ritual, the ritual taught to him in that book. The ritual, completed with countless sacrifices, would eventually transform him into a higher-level creature than human beings.
That creature is closer to a god, and it can even control death!
But, is this true...?
Arthur looked coldly at the motionless brain monster lying on the ground. At this time, the bright red viscous body fluid in its body (brain) had already drained away, and it had become very shriveled, like a deflated balloon.
"It seems that what the Abyss Grimoire gave you is not that powerful." Arthur smiled disdainfully.
Then he walked over and stepped down, crushing the dying monster even more. The dim light on the two things that could be called eyes of the brain monster gradually went out. Before it died, it used resentment and unhappiness to
He looked at Arthur as if all this was Arthur's fault.
"You have sacrificed so many people just to make yourself transcend death. How can you, a selfish scumbag like you, have the right to look at me like this?" Arthur swiped the holy sword in his hand, and let the two monsters go to him.
The eyeballs that seemed to be an eyesore were scratched to pieces, making the brain monster completely "close his eyes".
Then, Arthur looked around again. Basically all the bandits who were "sacrificially sacrificed" by the brain monster were dead. They all turned into blood-red fleshmen who wanted to attack Arthur, and then were killed by Arthur.
For this matter, Arthur did not feel sorry at all. But Arthur's companions, as well as the group of mercenaries he hired, were actually just affected by a powerful hypnotic spell and temporarily fell to the ground unable to get up.
It's just here, it's not life-threatening.
What we have to deal with next is this evil grimoire?
Arthur held the Holy Sword tightly and aimed at "Dimensions of the Abyss: Dimensions of the Abyss" and stabbed it. He thought that the previous sword hit was just empty, so it did not split the grimoire into two, but this time he
Stab it with all its strength, and the power of the holy sword will definitely destroy this book.
However, there was a big gap between his estimate and reality. Once again, the sword blade seemed to have penetrated the air, directly piercing through the grimoire, and then pierced into the floor, opening a deep hole in the rocky ground. Despite this, it penetrated
The lightsaber blade of the Abyss Grimoire still has no way to do anything with that almost indestructible grimoire!
"This book is really evil..." Arthur cursed, withdrew his lightsaber and fired a crystal gun with his backhand. As a result, the crystal gun hit the ground and shattered violently, but it still couldn't hurt the demon.
Every cent of it.
Arthur even began to suspect that this grimoire was a holographic image that could not be destroyed. But it lay flat on the ground, reflecting the cold black metal light under the candlelight, as if mocking King Arthur's powerlessness.
.
This book has caused so many casualties. Arthur knows that if he leaves this book alone, it will cause serious trouble. But the problem is that he can't destroy it despite all his efforts!? He can't destroy it!
Seal the ground... and it's very impractical. What to use to seal it? Does it count as a seal if you use a crystal wall conjured by alchemy gloves to completely seal it? It's obviously useless. Cleaning up this mountain
After that, the Duke of Sirnant will definitely send soldiers to clean up the mess, and they will definitely discover this evil grimoire. And no one knows which soldier, which general, or who will come next.
It was the Duke of Hillnant himself who first encountered this book. If the grimoire falls into the hands of evil people, what happened today will only become worse and happen again on a larger scale.
Therefore, Arthur had no other choice but to take the book away. At this time, he really wished he could have a storage pocket and directly stuff this evil thing into the subspace of the storage pocket so that it would never be seen again.
Tianri. It's a pity that in this era and this civilization, it is impossible to have such a level of convenience. Instead, Arthur took out a heavy cloth bag------it was originally obtained to contain the banditry.
specially prepared pockets for loot.
The bag was thick enough, and Arthur deceived himself into thinking that the bag was thick enough to prevent the evil power of the grimoire from leaking. But before that, Arthur had to do one more thing---use his
Hand, pick up the grimoire.
The process of coming into contact with the grimoire may be a challenge. From the memory of the bandit leader, Arthur can clearly see how deceptive the grimoire is, and how evil it can drive normal people crazy.
Arthur thinks that his mental strength is stronger than that of ordinary people and he will not be driven crazy so easily, but what will happen in reality?
"Hmm..." In the distance, Arthur could hear Verne humming weakly while lying on the ground.
People who have been stunned by hypnosis will probably wake up soon. If they see this book, things will become even worse. You must quickly put away this terrifying grimoire and hide it! There is no way
At this moment, Arthur had no choice but to boldly reach out to pick up the book.
This time, the book did not reject him. No matter how he chopped or smashed it before, the attack penetrated the book like penetrating the air. This time Arthur reached out to pick it up, but unexpectedly touched the cold and heavy metal.
Grimoire, and he picked it up without any difficulty.
Arthur quickly stuffed the book into the bag: "What, if you don't open it, you won't...have...ask...Woo?!"
He thought that if he didn't open the grimoire and read it, he wouldn't be affected by it. However, in fact, as long as he touched it, everything had already begun.
Arthur felt like the world was spinning, as if his consciousness was pulled into the cold black metal book by a strong pulling force!
"Ah, another human being, here to pursue forbidden knowledge." In the haze, he vaguely heard someone saying. (To be continued)
