Arthur and others ran and fought, eliminating dozens of red-robed warlocks who suddenly appeared from ambush in the dark and attacked along the way.
Arthur found that as long as he held the scabbard of the Holy King's Sword, his body's reaction became very rapid, and he almost returned to his previous state*, able to swing the sword quickly and swiftly.
(*Note: Refers to the state of Arthur before he drank dragon blood for the first time in Rome. Afterwards, Arthur was resurrected with phoenix blood. His body has always been very stiff and his movements have been much slower. The reason is unknown.)
He even felt that his body had endless energy. After running for such a long distance, he didn't feel tired at all!
Even the half-dragon boy Ivan and the fish-man prince Tristan who were following him were extremely tired, but Arthur just didn't feel tired!
"Work harder! It's almost there!" Arthur shouted.
They ran nearly fifty yards underground again.
Suddenly, the dark underground stone walls disappeared, leaving only the spiral stone steps extending downward.
Deeper under the ground is a staggeringly huge underground city!
There is such a huge underground city under London?!
Arthur looked up: Countless glimmers of light began to appear in the originally dark underground rock formations. Some kind of luminous fungus underground illuminated the underground world.
This underground city that looms before everyone's eyes is so majestic and desolate! These stone buildings of ancient people are covered with moss. Although they are well preserved, they look desolate.
ruins.
The three of them were walking in this ruins. Among the countless small stone houses, there was a fairly wide avenue, enough for several standard-sized carriages to pass through.
"Be careful, there may be a lot of ambushes here!" Arthur said to Ivan, meaning to tell the half-dragon boy to be on guard with eagle eyes.
Ivan didn't need Arthur to remind him at all. He had already used his eagle eyes to scan the nearby stone houses within a hundred yards. Of course, there was nothing except some moss, small bugs, and stones.
This once ancient city has been uninhabited for thousands of years, and even the ancient wooden furniture has long since decayed and decomposed into dust.
No. It is wrong to say that there is no one here.
In front of Arthur and others, a knight in red armor stood.
The knight of moderate stature stood there upright. If it weren't for the fact that his chest was opening and closing when he breathed, Arthur would have thought that this guy was a statue of a human being.
The dazzling red armor looked like it was covered in blood, making it uncomfortable to look at it more than once.
However, Ivan had to look at this person.
------Because this knight is none other than Ivan's brother, Oyun Younes.
"Aoyun------you are still alive." Yiwen pulled out his two guns. The two stabbing swords on the guns were his Longwu Infinite Vacuum Blades.
"Of course alive. Lord Morgose saved me, just to have a good time with you." Aoyun also drew out his legendary dragon weapon, the magic sword Fafnir.
"You idiot, have you been brainwashed by Morgoth?!" Ivan said angrily, "I'm very disappointed in you!"
"I have not been brainwashed. I feel refreshed now and my mind is clear all of a sudden." Aoyun said, "The world that Lord Morgose wants to build is the only way to save this world----
--A world where the weak eat the strong, respect only the strong, and are fair and just.
Idiots like those in the Council, who have no power and only know how to eat, drink and have fun, should not be the rulers of Pantaraken in the first place.
------The world is already perilous and facing destruction. Only a truly powerful ruler can guide the people of this country to survive!"
Aoyun raised his sword and pointed it directly at Arthur and his party: "I can't let you move forward no matter what. You guys, just die by my sword!"
"What on earth is he talking about?" Tristan asked in confusion.
"That." Arthur pointed to the sky.
The stone wall that originally contained countless luminous bacteria and a large underground cavity was now replaced by streaks of red light. Those red lights gradually took shape, forming a huge red magic amplification array.
Arthur had an impression of this thing. He had seen it in the Great Clock Tower in London. This formation had been causing trouble until it was broken by Percival.
The sky above London—no, the sky above the entire Pantoracan was surrounded by a cloud of red clouds. The originally cold winter day became dense with dark clouds, and the whole world was filled with an ominous dark red color.
"What?!" Greenwell had just eliminated a warlock golem, and immediately saw red snow flakes falling outside the meeting hall. Part of the building collapsed due to the vibration, and there were even snow flakes drifting in.
"The whole world will start to go crazy, and this kingdom will burn in fire. Then, the weak will die, and only the strong will survive. The old order will be overthrown, and a new order will come!" Aoyun sneered, "This is Mogou
Lord Si’s long-cherished wish!"
No. Arthur knew in his heart that Morgoth didn't care about the new order. She just wanted to see the whole world being defended by Chaos and the desperate and painful expressions of people.
If they don't stop the witch quickly, all this will come true. Citizens contaminated by red snow flakes will be hypnotized and start wreaking havoc!
Pantoraken will be dyed red by the whole country!
"Arthur" Ivan shouted, "You go first, I will take care of it here."
"but------"
"Okay, let's go. Ao Yun, this idiot brother, has been bullying me since he was a child. It's time for him to repay his previous debt." Ivan raised his two guns and pointed them at Ao Yun.
"...Wish you good luck." Arthur and Tristan ran forward.
Aoyun didn't even stop those two people. His eyes stayed on his younger brother Yiwen.
"This incompetent brat, are you still brazenly saying that you want to teach me a lesson? Haha." Aoyun sneered, "You have been a useless coward since you were a child. If anything happens, you will just huddle in the corner and cry. A guy like you, really
Makes you want to punch more!"
"You haven't beaten me enough yet, try again!" The half-dragon boy glared at his brother sharply, "It will make you unable to eat and walk around!"
"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa," Ao Yun swung his sword and slashed at Ivan.
"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!" Ivan also sprinted, with both guns out, and kept firing!
Arthur and Tristan ran forward along a straight road. Their destination was very clear, which was the tall tower in the center of the underground.
The top of that thing emits a strange red light, and this light pillar is connected with the red magic amplification array on the sky wall - even the blind man knows that Morgoth is casting magic on that high tower.
The person guarding the entrance of the tower was a young man.
Werewolf boy.
"You have to be kidding me------" Tristan yelled.
This was originally the purpose of Arthur and his team breaking into this underground palace: to rescue Bedivere.
But now, Bedivere, whose hair is red, dominated by wild nature, and holding a pair of red photon claws as weapons, stands in front of Arthur and Tristan!
"Aww------" the red wolf let out a deep roar, as if it would pounce at any time to attack!
"Arthur, you take the first step." Tristan picked up his silver spear. This weapon was a treasure previously obtained from the elves' arsenal. It was designed like a pair of tuning forks, capable of crushing with super vibration.
Target!
"Don't hurt Bedivere, just knock him out." Arthur said.
"I know it well, I don't need you to remind me." Tristan rushed forward and fired.
The red wolf jumped away to avoid the attack, leaving a way for Arthur to rush over. The wolf planned to attack Arthur, but was forced away again by the ice arrow shot by Tristan!
"Your opponent is me, Bedi!" Tristan shouted to attract the red wolf's attention, "Come on, my friend! Let's play a game together!"
Tristan released the Ice Mist spell, and the white mist enveloped the surrounding world in haze and coldness.
"Aww------" The red wolf sprayed steam-like smoke from his whole body, howling low, and rushed towards the fish-man boy!
