Chapter 650: Liberation of Death Rune

"Woo——"

Malikis released all his power, and after holding the destined death into a black sword in his hand, he let out a roar like a wolf's howl, then swung the black sword and slammed it down on Li You!

"Boom——!!"

The black sword released the power of destined death. Even Li You didn't want to block it, so he quickly retreated. At the same time, he drew out the Blood Immortal Slash, merged it with the spiral sword, and then expanded the flame field as well. .

Now that Malikis has freed Death of Destiny, there is almost no room for error in this battle, and he must be defeated with all his strength.

The imitation Teardrop also wielded the two-in-one long sword, releasing the divine power in his body, and the Nine-Headed Dragon Formation instantly unfolded.

"roar--!!"

The eight fire dragons roared out, biting Malikas, and indeed restrained him for a moment. However, Malikis roared immediately, and the magic power on the black sword burned. He swung the sword with both hands and released a large amount of black and red sword energy, which easily shattered the bodies of the fire dragons.

The power of destined death can be seen from this. And although the shape is similar, it is not a flame, so it is not suppressed by the flame field.

And this is not the most troublesome thing. At first, Malikis' movements were a little clumsy and slow, as if a long-ill man had just regained health and was trying to move his body.

But soon, his movements began to become more and more flexible and vigorous, and the black sword in his hand waved like the wind, causing waves of terrifying roars. Wherever the sword edge passed, the black-red magic sword light flickered endlessly!

Even Millicent did not dare to block the sword light swung by the black sword transformed into Death of Destiny, otherwise she would have to consume the power of the talisman to dispel the erosion of Death of Destiny. Only Li You and the clone teardrop were present. They could rely on the long-handled sword that combined the spiral sword and the blood immortal sword in their hands to block the black sword's slash without being affected.

The power of Blood Immortal Slash is somewhat similar to that of Destined Death, and it is the only weapon that can resolve the erosion of its magic power. After confirming this through the simulated teardrop, Li You went up again and started fighting with Malikis sword by sword.

"clang--!!"

Although Malikis has become more accustomed to the rhythm of battle, Li You is not afraid of him. In addition to being wary of destined death, Li You's power in dragon form is not much worse than that of Malikis, not to mention that there is a clone of Teardrop accompanying him to besiege him. It is difficult for the three of them to fight at once. Inseparable.

Naturally, the others didn't just watch, and each looked for opportunities to deal damage. However, after all, they couldn't go up to fight Malikis, so they could only find opportunities to take action.

V had already taken the Lei Guang Yueying from Li You when he passed by him. When Malikas was exposed due to the attack of Li You and the clone teardrop, she would step forward with the knife and leave several wounds on Malikas.

Millicent moved a little faster, and her prosthetic knife invaded like the wind. Even Malikis' black gold armor was unable to resist it. It was cut open by the sharp blade, and blood flew everywhere.

Malikis was also unbearable, but every time he wanted to turn around and deal with the two of them, two long-handled swords would come over one to the left and one to the right, blocking his way and dragging him back into the melee.

Kara, Yuzu and Aiji on the periphery are still outputting continuously. Kara's magic control is extremely precise, and she can even make the four light arrows of Loretta's trick draw different trajectories, and then pass through the gaps between the melee companions and land on Malikas. So even if the battle situation is chaotic, her output is basically unaffected.

Yuzu and Aiji are not as exaggerated as her, so they can only rely on the exchange of information through spiritual links to safely find suitable opportunities. After all, there is no such thing as friendly damage shielding in reality, and they have to deal with it carefully.

Malikis naturally realized that this was not going to work. If there is only Li You, it will be difficult to hold back Malikis even with the Blood Immortal Slash, but there is also a clone teardrop. The power of the two is combined into one. It is not just as simple as one plus one is greater than two. ?

But Malikis may not be very smart, but his sense of smell and intuition in combat are outstanding. He immediately had a way to break the situation, held the sword in one hand, and roared fiercely!

"roar--!!"

It was not simply a way to vent anger and fighting spirit. Malikis's roar was mixed with the power of destined death, which spread out in tangible ripples!

Li You and the cloned teardrop could also cut off the incoming ripples with their knives, but Millicent and V had to choose to retreat. The roar was just the forward movement of Malikis' attack. He then swung the black sword vigorously, leaving a condensed sword light in mid-air, and then thrust the sword into the ground!

"Boom boom boom——!!"

A large black and red sword light spread instantly, and the sharp blades swept in all directions like a storm! This is Malikis's signature combat skill, a stunt named "Death of Destiny"!

The effect of this combat skill was much more powerful than in the game. Li You and the clone Teardrop could only barely resist the attacks with their swords. Millicent and V, who were also at close range, were caught off guard.

Even though the two of them quickly evaded, they were still involved in the dense sword light. The power of the Death of Destiny surged, and the amulets worn by the two were immediately activated, blocking them from the invading Death of Destiny. The surface of the amulet also became more conspicuous. of cracks.

"...Hey, you lost most of your magic power in one fell swoop?"

Sensing the consumption of the amulet, V couldn't help but clicked his tongue, "This thing is too hard to use!"

Complaining as she may, she had not forgotten Li You's instructions. Although she was unwilling, she had to be the first person to withdraw from the battle, and quickly retreated outside the arena under the cover of others.

"Be careful of the sword energy of the black sword!" Li You also reminded, "If you bear too much power, the amulet may break in advance, so be sure to pay attention to its durability!"

"Woo--!!"

Malicus roared again, facing the two Li You and Millicent who were besieging him, he jumped up directly, almost using the black sword to drive his body to rotate, and swung a thick sword light in the air to cut Li You.

Li You could naturally dodge, but at this moment, Yuzu and Edge happened to move far behind him. Li You had no choice but to swing his sword to take the sword light, and then he felt that the blood, magic power and even divine power in his body were boiling and stirring under the stimulation of the destined death.

"Um...!!" Li You gritted his teeth, but did not take out the blasphemous beast claw. The so-called killer weapon is to be used at the most critical moment. The battle in reality is not against computer programs. Those enemies will also learn and be vigilant, so Li You is waiting for a critical moment.

Malicus's movements are getting more and more flexible. He jumps back and forth on several thick stone pillars that are still intact in the arena. The black sword keeps waving out sword lights. Even if Li You and his team dodge, most of them don't care. They just keep waving the power of the destined death.

Under his completely reckless attack, Aggie was soon accidentally hit by the flying sword light. In order to offset the power of the destined death, her amulet almost completely cracked, so the second person to withdraw from the battle also appeared.

Yuzu covered Aggie and withdrew from the arena, and then there was obviously some anger in her voice. She growled twice and asked Li You for his opinion. Although Edge retreated outside the battlefield, the mental connection was still maintained, so Li You told Yuzu: "It's not time yet."

At this time, the ones who were still besieging Malicus were Li You, the replica teardrop, Millicent, Kara and Yuzu.

Facing Malicus's black sword, even Millicent could feel the fear from her body's instinct, not to mention that her amulet had already cracked a little, but she refused to take a step back.

Just at this moment, Malicus landed with the black sword waving, and the replica teardrop blocked the sword light he swung, leaving an inconspicuous gap in front. Seizing this brief opportunity, Millicent swung the knife to meet it!

"Swish, swish, swish——"

The endless knife light rolled up the strong wind, and Millicent's artificial hand knife broke through Malicus's black and gold armor, leaving a lot of torn knife marks on his body again.

Malicus also looked at her and spoke for the first time: "...At this point, there are still demigods who want to steal the destined death."

He clenched the black sword and slashed it down fiercely!

"——Foolish!"

Millicent still did not dodge, and swung the sword to slash, and the flashing blade light also blocked Malicus's heavy slash.

What the "Black Sword" Malicus feared most among the demigods was the terror of the destined death. Although he himself had power that was not inferior to the top demigods, it was not enough to make all the demigods feel afraid.

Therefore, Millicus, who had actually recovered his full strength, would not be at a significant disadvantage in the battle against Malicus at all costs.

At this time, facing Malicus's heavy slash, Millicus relied on her own fighting skills to resist the power of his attack, and relied on the amulet to offset the erosion of the destined death, and for a while, she was evenly matched with Malicus.

Facing Malicus's astonishment, Millicent waved her knife and said, "The golden age will eventually end, and death should not be sealed forever... This is our consensus!"

The "we" she mentioned included not only herself and Lani, but also Li You, Melina and others. As for what the new era will look like, everyone may not have come to the most accurate conclusion, but releasing death is what everyone agrees on.

Including Li You, Li You himself does not reject the concept of immortality, but in the context of souls, the immortality that ordinary people can achieve is imperfect immortality, which will only give rise to distortion, not to mention the practice of simply sealing death.

Malicus did not understand this, just as he could not understand Millicent's desperate struggle. The amulet she was wearing was on the verge of breaking. As long as she made up another blow, she would run out of power. What would she use to resist then?

Want to release death? Then let her become another dead person under the fate of death!

Malicus let out a long howl, and then the black sword stabbed into the ground fiercely, releasing a rain of spinning sword light again!

Millicent waved her sword to resist, but in the end she could only wear away the magic power in it, and was powerless against the power of the destined death. Under the impact of the destined death like a tidal wave, the amulet hanging on her waist "clicked" and shattered into countless light spots!

At this time, Li You and the imitation teardrop seemed to be blocked by the invading sword light and blocked from coming to support.

Malicus then raised the black sword, condensed the power into one, and stabbed straight out, trying to pierce Millicent's heart with a sword!

In Malicus's opinion, she no longer had any power to resist.

However, at this moment, Millicent's eyes flashed and she raised her hand suddenly. The golden prosthesis in her right hand quickly stretched out, and then she actually grabbed Malicus's black sword!

"Squeak--"

The well-made, solid prosthetic hand was still twisted and bent under the black sword, but it did not break. And this golden prosthetic hand was not a living being of any form, so it would not be affected by the destined death.

Millicent injected her power into the prosthetic hand, and then... exploded!

"Boom——"

The golden prosthetic hand exploded in front of Malikas's eyes, and the light of the explosion made him take a half step back. At this moment, Millicent used her left hand to pull out the scimitar given by Li You from her waist. , stepped forward and stabbed Malikis in the side with a knife!

"Pfft."

There was a muffled sound and blood gushed out, but Malikis reacted immediately, roared and slashed at Millicent with his sword!

"boom--!!"

Li You just arrived at this moment, and with the clone Teardrop on the left and right, he swung his sword to block Malikis' attack. Li You pounced further, wielding the long-handled sword with a black-red light similar to the black sword!

At this time, the imitation teardrop took Millicent with it and flew out quickly.

Malikis roared: "A small injury is completely useless! Anyone who dares to covet the destined dead will fall under the black sword!"

"Is this really the case?" Li You said a classic line, and Malikis was also startled, and then felt a strong sense of sleep coming over him.

"Is this... huh!?" In front of everyone, his body began to shake visibly.

——The combat plan was proposed by Millicent in the spiritual link. The core was that she was responsible for injecting the special nectar prepared by Torina into Maricus. However, the actual combat turned out to be like this. Even Li You just Know.

Sacrificing her prosthetic hand and leaving scars on Malykis with a second knife coated with nectar, this was Millicent's plan. After all, if no special means were used, Malikis would be able to detect the manipulation on the knife due to the unmistakable aroma of Torina's nectar.

But now that he was attacked, Malikis was unable to escape the influence of the nectar.

Seeing that he was starting to stand a little unsteadily, Li You immediately gave instructions to Yuzi: "Now!"

Yuzi, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately let out a long roar, and her body began to expand suddenly!

His body transformed into a well-proportioned and majestic quadrupedal posture, with two pairs of dragon wings growing out of his back, and rock-like scales covering his body.

But the most eye-catching thing is that there are three dragon heads with slender necks growing out of his neck!

This is after Yuzi devoured the power of so many dragons, she finally completed the third stage of evolution under the stimulation of the previous dragon king's power!

【Yuzu (Nemesis-T 01)】

[Currently, three stages of form samples are available: Zerg Tyrant/God-Eating Serpent/Wood Dragon (Special)/Dragon King Bloodline. 】

Something worth noting is that although Yuzu gave birth to three heads, his consciousness is still his own. And although the body is close to that of an ancient dragon, the appearance of the three heads has its own characteristics.

Speaking of the Three-headed Dragon, the first thing Li You thought of was King Kira and Blue Ultimate Dragon, but Yuzu looked nothing like them. To be honest, Yuzu's form is a new form that combines the characteristics of his different transformations and can display various powers at the same time.

Looking at the naming of this form by the system, it seems that Yuzi has been recognized by the Dragon King, and is now considered the same race as him?

Li You was also a little surprised when he first saw Yuzi in this form, but what surprised him was the Dragon King's generosity. After being pulled into the spiritual space and escaping again, Li You noticed that Dragon King Platon Sanks seemed to be measuring his and Yuzi's "qualifications".

And in the end, the Dragon King still chose grapefruit. With the catalysis of the Dragon King's power, Yuzi's new form that has been brewing has officially debuted.

As for the abilities of this form, in addition to the soaring basic statistics and magical power that stunned Li You, there is also a key ability that proves the identity of the "blood descendant of the Dragon King".

——After the transformation was completed, Yuzu did not hesitate, flapped her wings and flew into the air, her huge body almost covering half of the arena.

And he raised his three heads, opened his mouth, and some extremely strange energy began to slowly condense. At the same time, a strange aura locked on Malikis!

Malikis was aroused by the aura, and the hair on his body immediately stood on end. Although he was not sure what kind of power it was, he was certain that he could never let the other party accumulate power to complete it.

Malikis, who had not yet recovered from his drowsiness, failed to realize that the force was actually locked in the space around him, and the range was very small. He just thought about not letting Yuzu release it, so he immediately With a roar, he jumped up with all his strength!

Malikis concentrated most of the power of Death on the sword. Even if Li You and the clone teardrop came together, he was confident that he could bounce both of them away, and then pierce the sword into Yuzi's chest. .

Not surprisingly, someone came to stop him, but only one person came.

Li You vibrated his dragon wings, and in a flash he was in front of Yuzi, facing Malikas. At this time, Malikis didn't even think about why Li You dared to do this, he just used all his strength to hand out the black sword!

"roar--!!"

Facing his sword that could almost change the color of the world, Li You didn't even raise the sword in his hand. He just held a piece of black stone in his left hand and waved it lightly just before the black sword was about to come.

"Dang——"

With a soft sound, Malikis poured all his strength into a thrust that was even enough to kill a demigod with one sword, but was easily deflected by Li You.

At this moment, Malikas's eyes under his helmet flashed with complete astonishment that could not be concealed.

This book was recently updated in ##六x-on:x-on:九x-on:x-on:书x-on:x-on:!! Updated!

Being suddenly interrupted, he had no magic power in his body. Facing the heavy slash from Li You, he could only instinctively raise his sword to block it. Then, Li You smashed him back to the center of the arena like a smash.

At this moment, Yuzu had already finished charging.

"Roar!!"

After a long roar that resounded through the world, a dark field suddenly appeared around Malicus. The field seemed as deep as a black hole, and it appeared silently, just covering Malicus.

It seemed that this special effect was incomparable to the earth-shaking effect when Yuzu charged, but after being covered by the field, Malicus seemed to have pressed the pause button, and all his movements stopped!

"Well done, Yuzu!" Li You also lowered his height and held the knife tightly, "Get ready!"

Those who were still able to fight surrounded him again at this time. Li You, the replica teardrop, Kara, and V and Edge who had returned, even Millicent changed into another golden prosthetic hand and returned to the battlefield.

Kara and V prepared to hit him with a light cannon, Edge held the lightning of Gulan Shanks tightly, and Millicent picked up the scimitar given by Li You. Li You and the replica teardrop also raised the knife and released their power completely!

"Now!"

"Boom--!!"

He gave an order, and everyone attacked in sequence!

The order of attack was first and then later, but when they finally arrived in front of Malicus who was stopped, it was all at the same time. The Nine-headed Dragon Formation, the Soul Torrent, the Cyclops Cannon, the Ancient Thunder Gun, and the slashes of Millicent and Li You fell on Malicus at the same time, and then stopped when they entered the strange field, everything was completely still.

Then, the grapefruit in the air let out another long roar!

The black field suddenly dissipated, and the time inside it began to flow. Malicus had just regained consciousness when he saw the colorful attacks approaching!

Malicus: “……!?”

“Boom——!!”

There was no room for struggle. Malicus was not known for his tough skin and flesh, and he was hit by everyone’s combined attack at the same time. The reason he didn’t reincarnate on the spot was because he blocked it with the black sword.

“Dang--”

The black sword that condensed the power of the destined death fell, and Malicus fell heavily to the ground, and the black and gold armor on his body was completely shattered.

At this time, Yuzu seemed to be in a weak state, flapping his dragon wings and landing. After a low roar, he quickly degenerated back to his original posture.

The time-stopping field just now was the ability of Yuzu’s new form, which could gather all the magic power and create a gap in time and space-this was the ability inherited from the Dragon King Platon Sanx.

Although compared to Platon Shanks, Yuzu can only create a very small area to stop all time in it, and it also has the disadvantages of needing a long time to charge, losing combat effectiveness once used, and people from the outside world cannot attack the time-stopping field, but it can also win the game at a stroke when used at a critical moment.

Can't be attacked when time stops? Then I'll prepare in advance and wait for the time stop to end before attacking, right?

This method of application was tested after Li You learned about Yuzu's new ability and dragged him to the battlefield in his heart that had not been used for a long time. It was used at this time, and it really made the final decision.

Yuzu is currently weak, but his companions have gone up to take care of him, and Li You and Millicent came to Malicus together.

This shadow beast belonging to Malica still has its last breath. He looked at Li You and Millicent, and asked with all his strength: "You... took the destined death, what exactly do you want to kill?"

Li You had picked up the fallen black sword, and after a little research, he determined that the sword did not contain the complete destined death, and even its power was almost dissipated and returned to the seal in Malicus' body.

He then looked at Malicus again, and this time he did not hide it: "First, it is to burn the thorns of rejection to enter the throne of Elden, and secondly, it is also to release the death rune, so that the life at the border can be reincarnated normally."

"...Why, deliberately embrace...death..." Malicus was obviously very puzzled, but even if Li You was willing to explain, he could no longer hear it.

Malicus' body began to decompose, sealing the destined death in his body, and naturally turned into ashes after his death.

In the end, Malicus only left a whisper: "Malika, I'm sorry...the golden law is difficult to restore..."

Listening to his last words, Li You also shook his head. Malikus also devoted himself to Marika, but what Marika expected was very different from what he thought.

Even in the game, the text of Malikus's memory also says, "Marika betrayed him." Some people understand it as Marika also participated in the planning of the Black Knife Conspiracy Night, but as far as it is concerned, the "betrayal" here should refer to Marika's goal going against Malikus.

After Malikus' body dissipated, a black and red sword-shaped rune appeared in the center of the venue.

Li You walked forward and felt its power and breath. This is the real destined death, that is, the death rune. The Golden Dynasty was established after the death was sealed, and releasing it can make the concept of death return to the border.

In that way, the thorns of rejection that blocked the golden tree will also be burned, and the door to the throne of Elden will be opened.

Li You did not rush to touch the Death Rune, but as before, he let Yuzu, Edge and V return to the companion space to rest, and also took back the Simulated Tear Drops.

Afterwards, Li You, Kara, and Millicent stood in front of the Death Rune, and Melina also appeared.

"...That's it, the Death Rune." Looking at the sword-shaped Rune, Melina was also slightly absent-minded. After all, she had never thought that she would appear in this place and witness this scene.

"As long as it is released, there is no turning back." She looked at the three people again, "After the death spreads, the selected person must become the king as soon as possible, and work with the new gods to maintain the stability of the border to avoid turmoil."

"Only when new gods and kings are born, and only when gods and kings work together can the golden tree be prevented from being completely burned - otherwise it will only give birth to a new round of catastrophes."

When she said this, she was looking at Li You, and Li You also understood what she meant.

Burning the golden tree is a helpless act under the thorn blockade of the rejected throne of Elden, but the golden tree itself is still very important. Just like in the several endings of becoming kings with Marika as a partner, the golden tree still exists.

If the ending of the game's La Ni line is followed, the protagonist, the Fader, becomes the queen. If he leaves with La Ni without caring about anything, the borderland will probably be in chaos.

The released death runes and the ignited golden tree will become the source of chaos, and the remaining life on this land will be hit hard again.

Of course, Li You can't be sure whether such a thing will happen. After all, the game ending CG is too simple. Players don't know whether the protagonist has arranged the future of the borderland before leaving. Maybe he sorted out everything before leaving. It's unknown.

But in any case, in this world, Li You will definitely not let La Ni leave so hastily - this is what he had discussed with La Ni and Millicent before.

At that time, Li You hadn't considered this level, but it was just out of caution, and it just happened to solve the problem.

So he nodded at this time: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Melina now knows something about Li You, and knows that he is really prepared when he says this, so she stepped aside: "Then, go touch the destined death, anyone who is qualified can release it."

Li You and Kara exchanged glances, and then looked at Millicent. Millicent was slightly stunned, but then reacted and nodded: "Then let me do it."

She walked forward and reached out to touch the sword-shaped rune. Before she touched it, the rune had a reaction. Black and red flames rose from under the rune, gradually spreading, and soon turned into a sea of ​​fire, sweeping towards Li You and others!

However, although this flame contains the power of the death rune, it did not cause any harm to them, because it was only the external manifestation of the death rune when it was released.

Li You raised his hand to protect himself, and stood with Kara and Millicent to avoid separation. If the process is the same as in the game, they should be teleported back to Rodel later-Rodel, which has become the "City of Ashes".

But at this moment, when the three were engulfed by the flames of the Death Rune, the Blood Immortal Slash on Li You's back suddenly trembled.

Li You didn't notice it at first, because the power fluctuations of the Blood Immortal Slash were similar to the Death Rune, and they were now surrounded by the flames of the Death Rune. So when the Blood Immortal Slash suddenly flew out of the sheath by itself, even Li You was surprised.

"Huh!?"

The Blood Immortal Slash shot out, turned into a red light and went upstream, pointing directly to the center of the sea of ​​fire, the Death Rune that was dispersing and returning to the world!

Under the astonished gaze of the crowd, the Blood Immortal Slash instantly turned into a pocket blood dragon, flew forward with the flames, and bit the Death Rune that had not yet completely dissipated!

Everyone seemed to hear a shattering sound in their ears, but before they could take a closer look, the Death Rune had completely decomposed, and the blood dragon transformed by the Immortal Slash was also bounced back, turning back into the shape of a knife and flying into the sheath.

Li You tried to contact it, and the Sakura Dragon Blood Shadow was as quiet as if it was dead, but its power fluctuations could not be concealed at all.

Li You: "………"

You kid, you are stealing, right?

Haven't I taught you a lesson recently?

Under Kara's protection, Melina, who had gone back to rest, reappeared, and Li You immediately looked over: "Will this have any impact?"

Melina raised her head and sensed the Death Rune mark that was returning to the world, and said: "… No problem, the power of the Death Rune spread out completely. That... knife, although it swallowed some of the power, the Death Rune is the embodiment of the world's rules and will not be damaged by it, just like when Lani stole part of the Death Rune, it would not affect it itself."

Li You was relieved. If the Sakura Dragon Blood Shadow's greedy bite ruined the big thing, he would really catch this little thing and refine it.

This guy was just thinking about greed, how could he not notice that Li You had put away Malicus's black sword a long time ago. How could he give up the power of destined death so easily?

But at least there is no problem. This time, Li You put the Blood Undying Slash back into the system backpack, and then felt the gradually thinning sea of ​​fire, a little surprised: "So we won't be teleported directly to Rodel?"

"No, you still need to return on your own." Melina said, "Although this may be the only gap, I still hope you can go to the Royal City as soon as possible, otherwise..."

"Don't worry, I know." Li You clapped his hands, "Take a short break, and we will set off immediately!"

...

On this day, the Death Rune was released again, and the fate of "death" once again enveloped the border.

All the creatures in the border could look up and see that the golden tree that covered the sky and looked like the sun had been completely covered by crimson flames, and even the sky was changed in color.

Some of the living who watched this scene were desperate, some were happy, but there were very few people who could see the signs of change and rebirth from the crimson flames.

——Outside the Golden King City, a sturdy man with a big axe in his hand was watching the burning golden tree. Looking at the sky that was set off by the fiery red, he murmured:

"...It's finally time, Marika."
