At the same time, on the battlefield outside Brindisi, Rome.
"Arthur!!" Kai, who was knocked away, screamed desperately before he even hit the ground.
The King of Knights was clamped by the huge hands of the Black Crystal Tower, and should have been reduced to flesh at this moment.
Or maybe not.
A golden light seeped out from between the two giant black crystal palms, which was particularly dazzling in the dark night.
"Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh!" The King of Knights forcefully pushed open the two giant palms that were holding him down!
"Arthur!" Kai was overjoyed. He didn't expect that Arthur was so strong and had the strength to contend with a giant hand several times bigger than himself!
In fact, Arthur did not have such magical power. The moment he was clamped by the black crystal palms, he deployed his griffin shield to resist the impact, blocking the first and most fatal impact.
The two giant palms did not crush Arthur. Instead, they slapped the gryphon shield hard and cracked out two concave surfaces, giving the King of Knights a chance to survive!
When the gryphon shield failed, Arthur also spread his wings and used all his strength to resist!
The King's Sheath brings an endless stream of photons to Arthur, turns these photons into kinetic energy, and releases them from the feathers of the Holy King's Wings, which can withstand the attack of the giant palm.
Arthur didn't use his hands to "hold" open the giant palm. He used two wings instead of his hands, like two jacks, to "pry" open Richard's giant black crystal palm!
Even so, Arthur still couldn't escape. He just struggled with Richard and barely maintained his life!
"Ya Ya Ya Ya Arthur!" Seeing that the monster could not kill the King of Knights, the monster became angry and began to change its shape.
It acts based on instinct. And its instinct is to kill------the killing intention to tear the King of Knights into pieces!
As if reflecting Richard's wish, the black crystal tower twisted. The black crystals on it grew rapidly like a malignant tumor, and instantly transformed into a huge mouth. It had hundreds of black crystal points as sharp as knives.
Teeth, and an infinitely deep, black hole-like throat.
At the moment when the transformation of the giant mouth was completed, two giant black crystal palms also clamped the King of Knights, dragging Arthur into the giant mouth!
---It wants to eat the King of Knights!
Chew him up, gnaw him into pieces, and digest him with gastric juice! --- Otherwise, you can't vent your hatred!
Richard's extremely vicious hatred almost turned into a voice, coming out from his infinitely deep throat and being heard by the King of Knights.
Arthur was still resisting, but he was unable to escape on his own and could only watch as he was eaten!
"Arthur!!" Seeing the seriousness of the situation, Kai made an extremely correct decision in an instant, possibly the most correct decision he had ever made in his life: "Catch!!"
He threw the flaming magic sword in his hand.
The hilt of the flaming demon sword Revadin continued to rotate in the air, drawing a beautiful arc and flying towards the King of Knights.
Arthur grabbed the flaming magic sword with one hand. At the same time, he was also swallowed by the giant mouth!
"No! Arthur ---" Kai saw the giant mouth swallowing Arthur, followed by a burst of crazy chewing, and then a swallow. The King of Knights was chewed to pieces and swallowed into the Black Crystal Tower!
"No!!------" the red-haired knight's shout echoed in the wilderness.
dark.
Then came more darkness.
Arthur opened his eyes, only to find himself in a period of darkness where he couldn't even see his fingers.
The moment he was devoured, Arthur opened his gryphon shield to protect himself. Under the protection of [Absolute Defense], the King of Knights at least avoided being bitten by the sharp black crystal teeth.
But the effectiveness of the gryphon shield soon passed, and Arthur still could not escape the fate of being swallowed into the monster's belly.
So, this is inside the body of the Black Crystal Tower?...In Richard's belly?
"You're always a bastard." The voice echoed in the darkness, containing incomparable viciousness.
"Richard? No---" Arthur immediately recognized the owner of the voice, "Gunther?"
A figure loomed in the darkness, and it was none other than Gunther, Arthur's brother. He only had a strange black outline. Although the darkness was boundless, he could be seen in the darkness.
"You are always a bastard, a thorn in my side and a thorn in my flesh." Gunther's voice still echoed, "However--even though you are so abominable, I still won't watch you die like this."
"Gense..." Arthur muttered in a low voice. The flaming magic sword he held in his hand began to burst into flames. The flame was pure pale light, as clear as water, but as bright as day.
"Arthur, I think you should also know that I am not the real Gunther, but a soul copied by Morgoth using Gunther's memory when he was dying." Gunther's form gradually blurred in the darkness, as if
It's about to disappear. "This is the last thought I have attached to this magic sword, and it will soon disappear completely."
Arthur looked at the fire that burst out of the magic sword and was speechless for a while. The surrounding black crystals gradually approached, as if they sensed the energy of the magic sword in Arthur's hand and wanted to swallow that energy.
"Before I disappear, let me give you one last gift." Gunser's voice became weaker and weaker, almost inaudible, "My brother, although I don't love you, I don't want you to die or live."
Something got into Arthur's left arm. The left arm, which had been half assimilated with the black dragon armor, became like a monster, causing Arthur a heartbreaking pain.
At the same time as he was in severe pain, Arthur's left arm also moved on its own, grasping the flaming magic sword tightly.
When the black arm grabbed the magic sword, the pale flame of the flaming magic sword changed instantly.
The almost transparent white flame quickly turned into black. Evil, ominous black flame.
This is the true face of [Fire Demon Sword---Revadine]: the Extermination Demon Sword (Regnarok).
It is a cursed sword that should only be activated by people with evil intentions. It is extremely evil and exists only to exterminate all sentient beings.
This demon sword of extinction was once held by Gunther's clone, and it once threatened Arthur's survival.
The terrifying thing about the black flame of the Demonic Extermination Sword is that it can erase the law of cause and effect and turn "existence" into "non-existence".
A person who is burned to death by this black flame not only dies, but becomes "never existed". All traces of this person's existence in the world will be erased, and no one will remember this person's past.
It can annihilate Kama (destiny).
The Demon Sword of Extermination is such a terrifying sword that it can even kill gods!
The surrounding black crystals are getting denser and denser, and they are almost touching Arthur. The King of Knights knows that it will never do anything good to be touched by these black crystals, and once trapped by the crystals, it will be completely over.
"Go, Arthur." Gunther's voice echoed in the darkness, "Live, even my share."
---Let me see how far you can go."
The King of Knights raised the demon sword and thrust it out without hesitation. The black flames of the extermination demon sword instantly burned the surrounding black crystal without a trace!
Outside the tower, Kai and others were still watching the movements of the Black Crystal Tower. It had been almost ten minutes since Arthur was swallowed, and the tower had remained silent, not knowing what the outcome would be.
"Come on, little one, I know you won't die like this." Kai muttered in a voice that only he could hear.
Bang. Finally, an unusual sound came from the tower.
"Arthur?" Kai called softly.
Bump, bump, bump! The sound is getting louder and louder, and the frequency is getting faster and faster. It seems like someone is beating the tower from the inside.
"Boom!" With a loud noise, the black crystal tower began to split.
Black flames erupted from the top of the Black Crystal Tower, reaching straight into the sky. As if it had eaten up its stomach, the Black Crystal Tower let out bursts of wails.
Where is Arthur? Everyone hurriedly looked for the King of Knights.
In the pillar of black flames reaching the sky, there was a small ball of light. After the flames burned, the ball of light revealed its prototype. That was the Holy Spirit Griffin Shield.
At the moment when the Demon Sword of Extermination released the demonic fire, Arthur wrapped his whole body with the gryphon shield and flew out together with the black flames.
He destroyed the top of the Black Crystal Tower in the most brutal way, and then escaped with the flames. The torrent of flames that burned everything was the refuge of the King of Knights.
In any case, the King of Knights escaped safely.
He spread his wings and hovered in the air, looking at the black crystal tower on the ground.
That thing didn't continue to grow.
Richard's black crystal may be able to swallow all energy and make itself grow. But it is definitely not invincible.
The black flame of this Demon Sword of Extermination is neither an energy source nor can it destroy the opponent's existence.
---It is the nemesis of Richard's heaven-defying ability!
"Ya Ya Ya Ya Arthur!" As if feeling his own crisis, Richard screamed hysterically: "Why! Why is it always you---
Why is it always you who takes all the good things in the world?!
Why is it always you who gets all the fame and fortune?
You are nothing but a lowly slave! Just trash from the slums!!
Why did you get all this?!"
"Richard, you just don't understand, right?" With a sneer, the King of Knights snorted, "I have fought against fate and died countless times. I can keep fighting and never give up precisely because---
---"
The monstrous black flames erupted from the Demon Sword of Extermination and turned into a pillar of fire three hundred feet high. This amount would be enough to burn the Black Crystal Tower to nothing!
"Because I have nothing!!" The King of Knights plummeted from the sky, raised his sword and dropped it. The dark flames spread overwhelmingly, engulfing the Black Crystal Tower in an instant!
No. Just because it was born from the void, this soul knows how to "cherish". It knows better than those souls who already have everything.
Even the emotion that should be meaningless - anger - has been fully exploited by this eternal soul!
Everything Arthur has experienced along the way from the past is all real, the road paved with his blood and sweat, and the results achieved with his struggle and hard work.
Not even God, not even fate, could stop Arthur from following his path and bearing his consequences.
This is a legend forged with perseverance by a soul with nothing, a little weed in the cracks of the wall.
---Richard, a flower that grew up in a greenhouse, will never understand.
