All the clues are connected. The Third True Ancestor Net, posing as a Cardinal, is lurking in the church and secretly controls everything. It was this guy who allowed the people of the church to discover and use the abandoned Skid Plattney Ark.
Yes, the Ark is naturally in an unstable state that can be destroyed at any time, but this is exactly what Nate wants. He expects the church and the French soldiers to fight and both lose, and use the casualties to perform a blood sacrifice ceremony to summon the devil.
Even Elaine was deceived by the Cardinal into the Holy Land, the Vatican. Therefore, the story that the Cardinal contracted the Black Death and needed treatment was not true at all. This guy was completely acting.
"Could it be that the so-called [Seed of Eden] was also given to the Pope by you?" Arthur took advantage of the situation and tricked the other party's words.
"There is no [Garden of Eden] at all, that tree is just some kind of special space like a temporary shelter." [Conspirator] Nate laughed and said: "If the Pope wants [Paradise], let him have it."
No matter what he does, that small [paradise] cannot accommodate all mankind, it is just a few people's self-consolation before the end of the world."
The King of Knights' ears twitched: "What do you mean?"
"Armageddon(a
geddo) - the so-called doomsday war is coming soon." The Third True Ancestor sneered: "That will be the final war between gods and demons, and you humans, caught in the middle, will inevitably be exterminated."
"Stop joking." Arthur deliberately tried to trick the other person: "How could something like that happen? The current human civilization is still very peaceful."
"Yes, you think you are very safe." Nate laughed heartily: "In a few years, this illusion will be exposed. The world will become a scorched earth. But that is no longer something you need to care about - you will
Die here, Aslan, the Saint of Stone!"
The vampire forcibly terminated the conversation, and then countless black shadows turned into spear-like stabs from behind him, hitting King Arthur who was fifteen yards away from the true ancestor.
Is a fight about to start at this distance? Arthur slid to avoid the attack in confusion. However, he found that there was some kind of killing intent coming from behind him, and he immediately rolled sideways the moment the slide ended. Sure enough, there was another wave.
The shadow spear stabbed the King of Knights from behind. Fortunately, he dodged quickly, and the so-called shadow spear passed by his feet, but it failed to hurt Arthur at all.
This is unusual. Something is emerging from the shadows, and the shadows are scattered all over the bridge.
Probably, the places on the bridge that are not illuminated by sunlight are the "territory" of the Third True Ancestor. He can launch shadow spear attacks from these places that are not illuminated by sunlight!
With this thought in his mind, King Arthur had just completed his sideways dodge, and immediately rolled back several times to retreat. His combat intuition was as sharp as ever, which saved his life. While he was rolling continuously, there were countless people under his feet.
The shadow spear pierced out, and each wave almost hit him, but he used clever fine-tuning to dodge while rolling. After continuous dodging, he had reached the window of the bridge, where there was
When the sun shined, those shadow spears did not continue to emerge from the ground to attack Arthur.
Although he was safe for the time being, Arthur knew that it was not good to stay in the bridge. If he broke through the window, he could indeed escape from the bridge to the outside deck. The problem was that Skid Plattney's Ark
It is an ancient artifact-level ship. The window looks like glass, but it is actually made of a material that is hundreds of times stronger than glass. It is impossible to open that "window" without considerable destructive power!
"Ada, open the emergency exit on the bridge!" Arthur suddenly said.
Snap! It wasn't that the window opened, but a hidden emergency exit on the wall next to the window was opened. Arthur took advantage of the situation and jumped out, leaving the bridge, doing a backflip and landing on the deck outside.
Wherever the sun shines, the shadow attack of the Third True Ancestor does not seem to interfere. Arthur breathed a sigh of relief. Miraculously, he still has temporary captain authority and can control some functions of the Ark. Arthur thought that the Third True Ancestor
Zunet has somehow occupied the entire bridge.
"Oh." A voice echoed throughout the ark: "So you think you'll be safe if you hide on the deck?"
A black gas began to gush out from the bridge, from the cabin, and even from various gaps in the Ark's deck. They blocked the sunlight and began to form some kind of shadow area throughout the ship!
"Hmm!" Arthur alertly dodged the shadow spear emerging from the shadow on one side. At the same time, he constantly inspected the surrounding environment. While dodging, he also quickly moved towards the area where the sunlight was still shining.
But there are more and more shadows around. The black smoke has no offensive power, but spreads with alarming momentum. Their only function is to block the light! And that shadow is probably the body of the third true ancestor Nite. This guy does not
The entity and body are hidden in the shadow, and he can launch a shadow spear attack on Arthur at any time according to his will! Arthur is already at least fifty yards away from the bridge, and there is still a shadow spear attacking him in the shadow beside him.
, which means that the body of the Third True Ancestor may be surprisingly huge, even big enough to cover the entire Skid Plattney Ark!
Wouldn't it be troublesome to continue like this? Arthur doesn't even know how to fight back to kill his opponent (how to kill an infinitely huge shadow?), and because of the spread of the black mist, the shadow area on the Ark is becoming more and more
In the end, everything will be shrouded in black fog, and sneak attacks will come from all directions. No matter how strong Arthur's dodge ability is, he will eventually be exhausted and assassinated!
"Ada, how long will it take to reach the designated destination?" Arthur then asked.
"It's scheduled for half a unit of Earth time, which is thirty minutes." The ship's artificial intelligence navigation system replied.
"The lighting system on the deck is fully turned on. No need to worry about energy consumption!" Arthur said immediately.
Bang! Then the whole deck suddenly became bright.
The lighting of Skid Plattney's Ark is quite special. It does not have special lighting equipment such as lamps, but the entire walls, floors, and ceilings of the Ark can emit light. It seems that it was mixed into the wall materials during construction.
Using luminescent materials, you only need to apply specific instructions and energy to the wall materials, and the walls, floors and ceilings will light up on their own.
The deck, which had been blocked from sunlight and occupied by shadow forces everywhere, suddenly became extremely bright. Because the floor itself was glowing in patches, even Arthur's own shadow was missing.
The Third True Ancestor's attack completely stopped.
"Very good. That's so clever, Aslan, the Saint in the Stone." A mist-like translucent black shadow emerged from a gap in the deck and turned into an unstable human form: "But you should have noticed it, even if
I have no way to attack you, and you have no way to attack me. I am [Shadow], I am [Mist], and I am [Darkness]. And you, there is no way to kill [Shadow].
My black mist has surrounded this ship, and I will not let you escape from here. You can just watch Skid Plattney's Ark explode here, and then be buried in the sea with it!"
"This is not good." Arthur took out the King's Sheath and held it high.
Pound!!——[Spell Breaker], activate!
Golden light surges out fiercely from the King's Sheath and spreads in all directions. This is a powerful photon explosion that can dispel all surrounding spell effects.
The black mist surrounding the deck was afraid of this golden light, was dispersed, and began to become thinner.
"It's not over yet!!" Arthur took out the original blade of the Seraph Holy Sword from the King's Sheath - that is, the edgeless silver blade - and held it in his right hand.
Pound!!——[Spell Breaker], activate again!
The Seraph Holy Sword is an artifact given to King Arthur by the mysterious old man J. Its basic function is copied from King Arthur's original King's Sheath, the Sword of the Holy King, so the King's Sheath can use the spell-breaker, Seraph's Holy Sword.
The scabbard (that is, the bladeless silver sword) can also do it, and the functions are almost the same!
More black fog was dispersed.
Pound pound pound pound pound pound!! [Spell Breaker], activate alternately and continuously! The golden light of the King's Sheath and the milky white light of the Holy Sword's scabbard are superimposed, turning into endless ripples of photon explosions!
The black mist was no match for this divine power. It was forced to a corner and defeated, and then the sunlight from outside poured in, occupying the entire deck of the Ark again.
The King of Knights had a chance to escape, but there was a vast ocean below, and the deck was at least a hundred feet above the sea. Jumping from this height would have shattered Arthur's body, even with the buffer of sea water. Even if he adjusted his posture perfectly when entering the water.
, using sea water as a buffer to avoid falling to death. It is still difficult for him to have any chance of survival in the endless Mediterranean Sea. In the end, he will only struggle in the water until he is exhausted, and then drown.
unless--
Arthur rushed out without thinking, and flew away from the gap in the black mist with a somersault. He summoned [Legion - Winged Angels] in mid-air, and let four Winged Angel Knight Golems spread their wings and drag him.
Gliding! Surrounded by the golems, he slid far away, shouting before he was completely away from the ark: "Ada, let the power furnace override!"
"Yes, temporary captain." The ship's artificial intelligence navigation system replied, and finally added: "It is my honor to serve you until the last moment."
Snap!! - As Arthur flew out, steam was emitting from the ark behind him, and the whole ship began to heat up and shine! The hadron fusion power furnace of Skid Plattney's ark was already out of control.
It only takes an instant for it to completely lose control and break through the critical point of explosion!
The Ark suddenly crashed into the sea at a very high speed (that should be Ada's arbitrary decision), and then the light and heat it emitted reached their limits at the same time——
Rumble, rumble, rumble, rumble!! - With a deafening bang, Skid Plattney's Ark exploded and disintegrated in the Mediterranean sea, rising up a huge mushroom cloud, followed by huge waves!
Four winged angel knights and golems linked their arms to protect King Arthur, and used their extremely strong mithril alloy wings to form a protective shell to protect the safety of the King of Knights! This solid structure was instantly destroyed by the huge waves.
Swallowed, swept into the sea!
"Yeah!" A large amount of seawater poured in, slapping Arthur on the forehead. The shock and suffocation made him gradually lose consciousness.
