Chapter 161 Invisible Island

The knight, covered in blood, sat on the sea beast, looking dejectedly at the empty sea.

Once again, he failed to protect the people he swore to protect.

The storm became more violent, like a majestic god roaring towards the world.

John raised his sword high and bared his teeth and claws at the storm.

He had no intention of returning to Bretonnia alive, he should have died in that charge.

The storm suddenly dissipated as unexpectedly as it had arrived.

An undercurrent pushed the sea beast's corpse away. Gradually, on the unchanging sea surface, a fog emerged at the end of John's sight.

Deep in the foggy sea, an island of various shapes stood vaguely.

John saw Bretonnia, and then, cheering crowds appeared deep in the mist, and they seemed to welcome the arrival of the Holy Grail Knight.

The Holy Knight heightened his vigilance, and the scene in the mist suddenly changed, as if he had glimpsed into the Holy Grail Knight's mind. John actually saw the castle where he lived as a child.

His deceased parents stood at the top of the castle, looking from a distance.

Soon, the fog changed again, and John saw the glory he was pursuing, the love he once dreamed of, and the regrets that had been made up for.

Voices whispered in the Paladin's ears. They promised the Holy Grail Knight that as long as he went deep into the fog and landed on the island, he could make a wish.

The gods deep in the mist govern wishes!

There will be no more regrets, because everything can be undone, this is the promise of the gods.

John gripped the sword tightly, veins popped out on his forehead. He tried to calm his breathing and prayed to the Lady of the Lake repeatedly.

Suddenly, John heard the voice of the Lady of the Lake.

Just like when she received the Holy Grail, the gentle female voice guided the Holy Grail Knight to land on the island.

He subconsciously wanted to follow it, but the dim armor made John realize that this was definitely not the goddess's guidance!

The Holy Grail Knight discovered a struggling figure appearing in the mist-shrouded sea.

That was a drowning man.

As the distance got closer, John saw clearly that it was the king he was loyal to.

The king seemed surprised to meet the Knight of the Holy Grail at sea. He quickly reacted and issued a serious rescue order to John.

This can't be true. Even without the corresponding blessing, the king of Bretonnia is also an equally powerful Holy Grail Knight, and the sea water cannot trouble him.

John hurriedly stayed away from the diffuse mist. The power given to him by the lake god was weakening because he did not fulfill his oath. He must defend the king.

Could it be that the gods cannot see reality clearly?

This is obviously a trap of evil spirits, and the king is a fake!

How can the Holy Grail Knight know the truth of the world? How can gods defeat powerful demons?

The Goddess of the Lake descended here to give the devil a chance to retreat.

How can a mere mortal resist the near-omnipotent god and demon?

You know, this is the "Kingdom of God" created by the Great Demon in the mortal world.

The power passed away rapidly, and John painfully jumped into the sea water and swam desperately away from the fog.

But the sea seemed to be against him.

The ocean current was in the opposite direction, and it took him more energy to barely swim a few meters farther.

The powerful temptation in his ears never stops. As long as he looks back, as long as he lands on the island, all difficulties will recede.

John bit the tip of his tongue and used the pain to regain consciousness.

He was not as weak as he thought, his strength had never passed away, it was just an illusion.

John decisively cut his palm open with his long sword, using pain to fight against the bewitchment in the depths of the mist, and swam away quickly as if fleeing for his life.

He didn't know how long he had been swimming, but the fog had disappeared at the end of the sea level.

The loss of blood allowed true weakness to grip humanity.

At the same time, a strange chill condensed on his wounds.

The passing holiness reminded John that he was cursed.

An unexpected encounter with the twisted and grotesque always comes with a heavy price.

The moment the blessing of the Lake Goddess completely disappears, it will be John's death.

The paladin swam in the sea in confusion, and the confusion quickly receded.

He will die, but not after slaying the enemy he swore to end.

A pirate ship appeared not far away. When the ignorant pirates approached the figure floating in the sea, John took the opportunity to climb onto the gunboat.

No matter how weak he is, he is still a Holy Grail Knight.

At first there were only a few screams, but soon the sound of gunshots and battles drowned out the noise of the waves.

The bloody knight almost killed all the pirates on the ship. In the thanks of the released prisoners, the knight forced the surviving sailors and let the ship sail to Lustria.

Isthmus of Lustria, peaks of Maku.

The sun penetrates the fog in the forest and draws bright arcs.

Lin Qi was tired of seeing the dawn in the rain forest. This must be the tenth day of deep into the mountains.

They were probably about to walk out of the forest and arrive around Pahuakos.

Lynch shook his body and almost dropped the broken gold pendant on his back, which made the dwarf's eyes follow the gold for a few times.

Sorian saw that Lynch didn't care about gold.

In other words, if the pendant falls to the ground, the lizard man will not deign to pick it up.

And this is his chance to pick up the gold!

Luding glanced at the dwarf with disgust and didn't even want to taunt him anymore. Talking to the dwarf became an insult to himself.

Elves do not have the same hunger for gold as dwarves.

As if hearing the dwarf's voice, a small piece of gold fell from Lynch's body. The dwarf, like a tiger pouncing on food, caught the gold before it hit the ground.

Lin Qi listened impatiently to the dwarf's praise, suddenly increased his speed, shook off a few more pieces of gold, and at the same time distanced himself from the dwarf.

Greed for gold was a flaw that the Ancient Sage failed to make up for after transforming the dwarves.

Lynch understood the dwarf's desire, but could not accept his evil-looking gaze.

To the cold-blooded species, the value of gold is the same as that of paper pages, except for decorations and book pages that will not be eroded by the rainforest.

If gold is needed, the demon toads have plenty of ways to get it.

The adventure team once again passed by the ruins of a colony. There were colonies all over the Isthmus of Lustria. Of course, only a few could stand in the rainforest for a long time.

This kind of colony deep in the jungle is basically established by inexperienced hot-blooded species. It should be their first time to Lustria, and this will also be their last time.

There were no signs of invasion, the buildings were in decay and the bodies were nearly half decomposed.

Lynch could tell that these humans locked themselves in a room and danced until they died of exhaustion.

Apparently, this is the result of the influence of the Eternal Dancer.

All those who perceive the dancer of Slaanesh will be uncontrollably intoxicated by the dance of the demon and dance with the demon.

And that demon, cursed by the Prince of Darkness, can never stop dancing.

Lynch didn't know why it was interested in the mortal world. It should be wandering aggrievedly outside the palace of the Prince of Darkness in the Demon Realm of Chaos, begging for forgiveness from its master.

Lin Qi suddenly had malicious thoughts.

He hasn't forgotten what happened to him. This damn demon had his palm bitten off by Lynch. He doesn't know if it has recovered.
