Chapter 399 No One Is King!
The midnight bell rang, announcing the end of the old day and the beginning of a new day.
The Red Lion Legion and the Holy Tree Legion, who died in the fight on the battlefield, completed their resurrection at the blessing point near the battlefield.
"Red Lion Legion, for His Highness Latan, charge!"
The Red Lion Knights waved their weapons, ready to fight again.
However, they did not know that the brown-red pollen had already spread around the two legions, blocking everyone's sight.
Indistinctly, everyone seemed to have a red lotus blooming in the center of the battlefield.
"Scarlet Corruption Flower..."
Someone shouted in horror, recognizing the true identity of the huge red lotus.
"Light the Red Lion Fire!"
The Red Lion Knights tried to light the flame to dispel the corruption, but when they raised their hands, they were surprised to find that the brown-red mist was seeping out from every part of their bodies.
They had been thoroughly infected, and the scarlet corruption was leaping in their internal organs, celebrating their victory.
The strong scarlet corruption corroded the bodies of everyone present. No matter soldiers or generals, they could not escape this terrible fate.
Even the members of the Zunfu Knights, who had always worshipped the Valkyrie and suffered from corruption for many years, could not resist it.
They groaned in pain, their bodies gradually twisted and deformed, and finally fell to the ground, becoming a rotten corpse covered with fungi.
The only mortal still alive on the entire battlefield was Finlay, the knight commander of the Zunfu Knights.
Finlay had a natural high resistance to scarlet corruption, so she could barely resist this terrifying power.
But even so, she felt that her life was constantly slipping away.
The battlefield was filled with the breath of death and a dead silence.
The erosion of scarlet corruption made everyone fall into despair, and Finlay became the last hope of this battlefield.
She came to the vicinity of the Red Lotus Flower alone. When she saw Ratan completely corroded by scarlet corruption with her own eyes, her heart was filled with fear and shock.
Latan exudes a beast-like breath, which is creepy. His madness and cruelty make people shudder.
However, Finlay did not retreat. She gritted her teeth and bravely faced the horrible scene in front of her.
And found Malenia who was in deep sleep in the center of the red lotus flower.
She carefully picked up Malenia and felt her weak breathing and heavy body.
Although her heart was full of worries, Finlay knew that she had to take Malenia away from this dangerous place as soon as possible.
So, she took Malenia's artificial hand knife and resolutely embarked on the journey back to the holy tree.
Malenia's condition was not good. The scarlet corrupt law in her body became more and more agitated without the suppression of the pure golden needle.
According to the calculation of Lord Michaela, the red lotus flower can only bloom three times at most.
The previous blooming had caused the Valkyrie to lose her right arm and legs, and this outbreak made the Valkyrie lose more, and almost half of her body was corrupted.
If the Red Lotus blooms again, the Valkyrie will completely perish, and she will be transformed into the Scarlet Corruption Goddess and come to the world again.
Finlay knew that time was running out, and she had to return to the Holy Tree as soon as possible. Only the Holy Tree could suppress the scarlet corruption in the Valkyrie.
Although the road was full of difficulties and obstacles, Finlay still firmly carried the sleeping Valkyrie Marenia on the way home.
She used her courage and wisdom to repel the enemy again and again, protecting Marenia's safety, and completed the long journey.
She successfully returned to the Holy Tree in the north from the southernmost Galid, and she herself was completely exhausted. After all, she had enjoyed a wave of scarlet corruption flowers head-on.
However, with this great achievement, Finlay was qualified to return to the tree, and under the witness of the awakened Valkyrie, she became a glorious heroic spirit.
Her name will be forever engraved in the long river of history, and she will become a hero admired and praised by people.
After Latan was completely eroded by the scarlet corruption, his body gradually rotted and his consciousness gradually blurred.
His humanity gradually disappeared, leaving only the beast-like instinct, and he began to eat the corpses around him uncontrollably.
However, before he completely lost his mind, Latan realized that he might become a disaster for the world.
So, he resolutely cut off his feet and trapped himself on this battlefield in Ionia, unable to leave forever.
Then, he used up his last bit of will and cast the ultimate gravity magic with all his strength.
This powerful magic power fixed the starry sky of the entire border and prevented the flow of fate,
making it impossible for anyone to become a god. He must stop Mikaela from opening the Shadow Land, which is a taboo in the border and must not be opened.
Since then, the Broken Battlefield has completely ended in this battle between demigods with both sides suffering losses.
In this war, there is no winner.
The leaves sent a message:
In the battle to defend the royal city,
Star-Broken General Latan, Justice Officer Rakad, and Golden Greg were defeated and retreated.
Ionian War.
Star-shattering General Latan, Mikaela Blade Marenia fought to a draw, the scarlet corrupt flower bloomed,
Moon Princess Lani lost her body.
The Queen of Night Eyes lost the law,
The Blood King was not blessed by the Golden Law,
Mikaela disappeared~
Monggot voluntarily gave up!
No one claimed to be the king in the border area,
The entire border area fell into a chaotic era of each doing their own thing.
The golden dynasty that once ruled this land has now fallen apart and turned into ruins.
Those who once tried to be kings were scarred and could no longer fight.
They could only hide in dark corners, licking their wounds silently, and were powerless to fight for the noble throne.
That night, many leaves of the golden trees fell, flying far away on the wind, passing through the thick fog that isolated the border area.
People in various parts of the border area put down their weapons, and they heard the message from the fallen leaves.
"The fallen leaves sent a message:
On the other side of the fog, our hometown "Borderland",
the great Elden Ring has been broken──
"Eternal Queen" Marica disappeared,
On the night of the Black Knife Conspiracy, "Golden" Godwin was the first to lose his life.
Marica's son──the demigods got the fragments of the Elden Ring,
but because of that power, they fell astray, fell into madness, and triggered the Fragment War...
At the end of that war without a king──
the Supreme Will exiled them.
Oh, so, the Faded One──
the dead who still cannot sleep forever.
The blessing we lost long ago is calling out.
The lost blessing once again,
returned to the nameless Faded One.
Go to the other side of the fog, arrive at the border,
see the Elden Ring──
become the King of Elden.
