Chapter 649 "Black Sword" Malicus!
"Okay."
Li You didn't ask any more questions this time, and nodded directly.
Bernard obviously followed them to Fam Azra, because the group went to the Dragon King, so he got there first.
From Bernard's eyes, Li You could see that the quasi-king had made up his mind to come this time.
Bernard was not looking for death, but wanted to end the era of the golden tree by himself, so he had to stand in front of Li You and the others at this time.
Facing the determination of the quasi-king, Li You also gave full respect, raised his hand directly, and the duel field was instantly launched.
The companions had been prepared for a long time, and they retreated one after another, leaving enough space for the two. And Bernard felt the barrier that enveloped him, and he understood Li You's intention: "That's just right."
He put away the blasphemous claws and held the world-devouring scepter with both hands. Li You changed the spiral sword into a big axe-the black knight's axe.
Now he swings the axe, it can really be more fluent than the genuine black knight. In the past, he envied elite monsters and bosses who used their extra-large swords as straight swords, but now he can do it easily.
The Black Knight's axe swung through the air, making a terrifying whistling sound, but Li You caught it and carried it on his shoulder. He looked at Bernard: "Come on."
Bernard didn't say much, and rushed up with the World Devouring Scepter, and smashed it down with a hammer!
Although it is called "scepter", this legendary weapon is actually a sledgehammer. In addition to the powerful magic contained in it, it is also extremely heavy. With Bernard's power, it can be said that it is easy to split mountains and rocks.
Then Li You swung the Black Knight's axe and immediately bounced the World Devouring Scepter back, interrupting Bernard's movements.
There was a look of surprise in his eyes, but he didn't hesitate to attack again, and the World Devouring Scepter whirred and swung towards Li You!
Li You did respect Bernard's will, but he didn't intend to let him go, so he also held the axe tightly in the face of his attack.
Bernard is very strong. After all, he was called a quasi-king a long time ago. In terms of comprehensive strength, he should not be much worse than Kara now. If they fight, it is hard to say who will win.
But for Li You, even if he does not transform, the strength he shows is not something that a hero can reach.
Facing the World Devouring Scepter swung by Bernard, Li You suddenly handed out the axe, and the tip of the axe handle bounced back all the attacks engraved by the scepter. Then Li You roared out another upward slash. Bernard had no time to dodge and blocked it with the World Devouring Scepter, and then the whole person was directly picked up!
In terms of combat skills, Bernard is extremely profound. After all, he was originally a combat skills teacher. At this time, Bernard had actually used the "patience" skill when blocking Li You's attack.
However, just like the patience in the game cannot block some special attacks, Li You's axe burst out with exaggerated power, destroying the posture under Bernard's feet, and then picked him up.
Bernard was even more shocked, but he felt it was reasonable, after all, Li You was the one who killed Lacard. He was planning to adjust quickly after landing, but Li You had already turned into a half-dragon, vibrated his phantom wings and flew up, and the Black Knight's axe chopped down heavily from top to bottom!
Bernard was already blown into the air, and this time he had no time to resist. He was hit directly, and the whole person seemed to turn into a cannonball and fell to the ground in an instant!
"Boom--!!"
The companions immediately felt that the duel field was disappearing, and the battle between the two had quickly decided the winner.
When they approached, they saw Bernard lying on the ground, and Li You was taking out the blasphemous beast claw from his pocket. As for the World Devouring Scepter, it had just been put into Li You's backpack.
Li You quickly found the blasphemous beast claw and was about to take it away, but Bernard, who was almost fainted, suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Li You's wrist.
He didn't know where his beast helmet had fallen to. At this moment, blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth. He still looked at Li You unwillingly, panting and asking: "Who...who is the god you chose? What kind of era do you want to start?"
Li You looked at him and replied: "I will not become a king...but the new era should be a completely different era, without the interference of the 'God of Creation' and His apostles."
Bernard was stunned, and stared at Li You for a long time, as if he wanted to confirm whether what he said was true or false. And he reluctantly turned his head, his eyes swept over Li You's companions who surrounded him, and stayed on Millicent for a long time, and finally let go of Li You's hand.
"...Go, take the path you chose. But no matter what, you must let the Supreme Will know that we...are not His puppets!"
In fact, the Supreme Will probably doesn't think so. He probably doesn't care about the faded ones at all-Li You can only complain silently in his heart, otherwise it will be a big blow to Bernard.
Bernard didn't wait for Li You's response. Although Li You showed mercy, he was still seriously injured. After saying the last sentence, his head tilted and he lost consciousness.
Li You helped Bernard up and put him down at the blessing place on the side of the bridge, letting him fall asleep. Then he returned to the gate of "Black Sword" Malicus.
"Although it's a little late, we still got the blasphemous claw." Li You looked at the secret treasure in his hand and said to everyone, "But this can only be used by one person, and it needs the right time to dispel the power of the black sword."
"The amulet that I prepared before, which can resist the fate of death, can only be used three times. In other words, there is a considerable risk in participating in this battle, including me."
Although his strength has greatly improved, Li You does not think that he can easily defeat Malicus. The positioning of the Black Sword is similar to that of Wolf Brother. It was originally a beast that protected Queen Malica, and later became his brother. Although it is not among the demigods, the power of the Black Sword is unquestionable.
Don't forget that even the blasphemous claws in Li You's hands were originally prepared by Lakad as a killer to deal with Malicus.
Therefore, although he knew that his companions would not retreat because of this, Li You still had to explain it in advance and make three rules.
"Everyone remember, once the amulet has been used twice, retreat immediately and you can't participate in the battle next time. The fate of death is definitely not a joke. If you get hit hard, I am not sure I can save the person. Do you understand?"
Naturally, everyone would not sing the opposite tune at this time, and nodded one after another. Li You looked at Yuzu again: "Have you mastered the new form you just acquired?"
Yuzu thought for a moment and replied: "Almost, more."
"Okay!" Li You patted him hard, "In case of any emergency, use your new power to break the black sword!"
Yuzu nodded again.
Pre-war preparations are almost done here. As the last step, Li You summoned the teardrops of imitation again, then took out the gourd to replenish his magic power, and looked at everyone:
"Let's go, to liberate the destined death."
...
Through the fog gate barrier at the entrance, in the center of the arena is a tall figure wearing a coarse cloth cloak. He half-lay on the ground, with the appearance of a beast, but most of his body was covered by the cloak, and he held a five-fingered dagger in his hand.
This is the "Black Sword" Malikus, or perhaps he should be called the "Beast Priest" Gulang in this posture.
He once let his clone guard the Beast Temple of Galid in this posture, and let others collect the dead roots containing death for him to swallow in exchange for the power of the beast's prayer. Li You certainly knew about this, but collecting dead roots was a big project, so he didn't go out of his way to run.
At this moment, seeing Li You and his group step into the arena, Gulanger did not hesitate, ran over quickly, and let out a low roar, shouting: "People who are eager to get close to the destined death, I will not let it be stolen a second time!"
As he said, he waved his hand and threw a large piece of thorn-like gravel to attack everyone!
Li You moved the spiral sword forward a little, and a large piece of flames rushed out. The high-heat fire wave rushed forward and melted all the flying thorn gravel.
And taking advantage of this time, the companions also dispersed and found their own positions.
Li You, the imitation teardrop, V and Millicent, the four of them surrounded the beast priest first. They were the first team to attack, and there was a sequence between them.
At this time, the one at the forefront was Millicent, who had already revealed her most original appearance, waving the artificial hand knife to slash at the beast priest!
The beast priest obviously recognized her, but he didn't seem to have anything to say. Perhaps since the fate of death that he was originally guarding was stolen by Lani, triggering the night of the black knife conspiracy, Malicus no longer had any expectations for these demigods.
So at this moment, he just roared in anger and waved his five-fingered dagger to meet Millicent's prosthetic knife!
"Ding ding ding--"
Beside Millicent, V was responsible for assistance. She turned Pandora into a semi-covered armor and a magic machine gun, creating more opportunities for Millicent through the continuous rain of bullets.
Please...collect 6...books...!
In contrast, Li You and the replica teardrop were a bit slacking off, just using the prototype spiral sword to summon some flames in a proper manner.
At the same time, Kara, Edge, and Yuzu were wandering outside, responsible for long-range output and assistance.
Kara fired magic in succession, while Aggie held the lightning of Gulan Sanx, but she mainly threw the melting mud pot. After all, one shot of the Gulan Lightning Gun would almost drain her magic power. During the recovery process, she switched back to the previous attack method.
As for Yuzu, she circled around the venue, and when she found an opportunity, she sprayed a breath of lightning, burning the robes of the beast priest.
Not only that, Kara saw that the beast priest was tired of dealing with the siege of the crowd and was a little overwhelmed, so she immediately shook the spirit-calling bell and summoned Frou Sanx.
However, Kara only wanted Frou Sanx to use her ability to add a debuff to the beast priest remotely, and then took her back after it was completed.
The destined death does not care whether you are a skeletal spirit or a living person, as long as you stick to it, it will kill you the same way. Frou Sanx does not have a talisman to use, so Kara naturally does not let her participate in the battle.
But the Flower Dragon Thunder of Frosanx can greatly reduce the ability of the entangled enemy to resist lightning. When this lightning fell, the beast priest also roared, because the lightning breath sprayed by Yuzu immediately hurt a lot.
But not only that, seeing the Flower Dragon Thunder take effect, Li You and the imitation teardrop, who were originally pretending to be ordinary, immediately released their divine power!
"Boom--!!"
The storm swept in an instant, and Li You and the imitation teardrop completed the dragon-man transformation at the same time. When they drew their swords, it was not the Blood Immortal Slash, but the Thunder Light Moon Shadow!
The two raised the Thunder Light Moon Shadow at the same time, releasing all their own power, wrapping the flame thunder from Beile around the sword, and then slashing towards the beast priest from the left and right!
Under the amplification of the characteristics of the Lightning Moon Shadow, the combined attack of Li You and the Imitation Teardrops really had the power to change the color of the world, and even thunders sounded above everyone's heads.
The Beast Priest couldn't help showing his surprise when he saw this. He didn't expect that this group of lunatics who wanted to steal the destined death would be so earth-shattering at the first move!
"Black Sword" Malikus, a strong competitor for the strongest BOSS of the Ring of Magic. In the game, he not only has unparalleled lethality, but also has high defense and resistance. It's just that his blood volume is too thin, so he didn't get stuck with a large number of hand-disabled faders.
And this also applies to this world. In order to prevent the death rune from being stolen again, Malikus sealed it in his body, and thus weakened his own power-the identity of the Beast Priest was born from this.
Even facing them, Malicus did not immediately release the fate of death. Li You could not tell the specific reason, but this was a great opportunity - to kill Malicus directly and make him unable to enter the second stage.
Although this plan was very idealistic, it was worth trying. So after discovering that Malicus did not enter the second stage immediately due to the appearance of Millicent, Li You confirmed the battle plan through the mental connection and saw the results at this time.
Two earth-shaking lightning mixed with flames fell, and the beast priest was completely enveloped!
"Boom--!!"
The companions did not watch and say lines like "Did it succeed?". Following the attack of Li You and the imitation teardrop, everyone found their position and released their strongest attack!
No matter whether it succeeded or not, let's output first!
For a while, the arena was full of light, explosions continued in the center of the venue, and even the ground was shaking.
However...
"Roar--!!"
A roar suddenly came from the center of the light and explosion, followed by a sudden rise of a large area of black and red, like flames, and a strange magic power that looked like fog. This power blocked all the joint attacks.
Under the cover of this magic power, everyone saw that the beast priest was lying on the ground, obviously seriously injured and could hardly support his body.
But he still had a breath left, and the remaining strength was enough for him to raise the five-finger sword and unlock the seal in his body.
"...Death, turn into my sword again."
As he said, he raised the five-finger sword high and stabbed fiercely at the strange seal on the back of his left hand!
"Dang--"
Accompanied by a crisp breaking sound, the seal of the destined death was broken, and the beast priest slowly raised his right hand. The original five-finger short sword turned into a giant sword made of obsidian, which was held in his hand.
And the "beast priest" also revealed his true face at this moment.
The cloak on his body, which was shattered by the attacks of the crowd, was swallowed up bit by bit by the rising black and red magic power, revealing the close-fitting black beast armor with golden patterns underneath, and a pale and messy mane like long hair dancing in the air.
He leaned his sword on the ground and let out a long suppressed roar!
"Black Sword" Malikus, complete form!
