Jin Yao City, Southern Suburbs.
Trinidad, who was still standing in place, had begun to retreat step by step. Every step he took left a deep pit that reached his ankles on the ground. Now even those soldiers who couldn't see clearly understood that Trinidad was suppressed by Samuel!
The soldiers of the Jade Army showed excitement, but the faces of the people of The Iron Scale were very ugly, especially some leaders. They knew Trinidad's plan in advance, but they didn't expect that the plan couldn't keep up with the changes at all. The strength shown by Samuel far exceeded expectations. Even if Trinidad made such preparations, such an unexpected situation still happened.
The depression in Trinidad's heart at this time could be imagined. One of the main purposes of the "Ashes Set" was to defend against Samuel's powerful killer move, "Morning Extinction", but now Samuel didn't even use this move, and he was forced into a dangerous situation.
The tower shield was a large shield with a wide protection area, but it was far heavier than ordinary shields. It required more strength to swing it. Especially in the face of Samuel's ghostly movement and lightning-like close-range attacks, Trinidad began to feel the pressure he was suffering more and more. The shield in his hand became heavier and more strenuous. The expected "restraint" had become self-defeating. What surprised him even more was that in the intelligence obtained in the past, Samuel's endurance had always been a weakness. However, the other party maintained such high-speed movement and attack for such a long time, yet he didn't show any fatigue at all. It was unbelievable.
The sharpness of the "Flying Centipede" that was said to be made by the mechanic grand master Prince Arthur was beyond imagination. Even the "Ashes Guard" on his body couldn't completely resist the terrifying sharpness. There were already several cracks. The sharpness on the sword penetrated into the inside through the cracks, and there were many wounds. Moreover, it was bleeding non-stop. He had to divert a part of his power to stabilize the injury, which reduced his combat power imperceptibly.
Trinidad didn't know that in addition to the attributes of sharpness and deepening wounds, "Flying Centipede" could also increase waving speed by 50%. It could also slowly recover stamina by absorbing the enemy's power. In addition, Samuel's star disciple title had the characteristic of "Running Thunder", which could increase attack speed and movement speed. Therefore, Samuel could exert such terrifying speed.
Trinidad's "intelligence" was outdated. Samuel's fighting style was now very different from the past. The characteristic was "Speed is unbreakable".
In the previous days, Samuel trained with Isabella and Krobelus almost every day. Compared with Krobelus' absolute suppression, the Mistress Isabella, who had the Breeze Shadow Boots and the talent of "Flash", helped Samuel more. Of course, he was defeated miserably every time.
As for endurance, the original shortcoming, it had also made great progress under the hellish special training arranged by Chen Rui. The current Samuel was no longer a cultivator who had barely advanced to the Martial Saint level by relying on external forces. Instead, he was a Martial Saint who had truly mastered and consolidated his power. He was only one step away from breaking through a small realm and entering the Intermediate Martial Saint level.
"Damn it!" The black potions had a time limit. Trinidad knew that he would lose without a doubt if this continued. It was likely that he would die. It seemed that he had to use his final trump card.
Trinidad immediately forced Samuel away with a shield strike, and his body emitted a strong light. The "Blade of Ashes" was inserted into the ground, and the cracks on the ground spread toward Samuel. Samuel rose into the air, and the cracked lines shone with a fiery red light. The power of fire containing a strong territory erupted like dozens of erupting volcanoes.
Samuel retreated faster than he moved forward, avoiding the strongest flame that erupted. At the same time, he waved "Fei Hou" in his hand quickly to disperse the approaching flames.
Gemünden shook his head secretly. Although Trinidad's momentum was amazing, he was already a spent force. It was obvious that the outcome of this battle had been decided.
Just when Samuel was forced to retreat, Gemünden suddenly sensed something. He looked up and saw a huge black shadow suddenly appeared above Samuel's position, flying down toward Samuel.
"Giant Dragon!" Gemünden exclaimed. Samuel also reacted at this time. His body flew backward in an incredible manner, and he crossed the huge black shadow. He landed on the ground, and the armor on his shoulder was torn open, dripping with blood.
The giant dragon glided to Trinidad's side. There was a knife wound on its neck, and even its scales were cut open. Blood kept oozing out, but for its huge body, this wound was not even worth mentioning.
This was a Saint-dragon. Saint-dragons were the most powerful type of Dragons. They had strong vitality and offensive and defensive abilities.
"Despicable!" Gemünden appeared in front of Samuel and glared at Trinidad. "Is this a fair duel?"
"I don't think this is against the rules of a duel." Trinidad shook his head and revealed a sinister smile. "Don't forget, I'm a Dragon Knight, and he … is too! Samuel, you didn't expect this, did you? In the past few months, I've also passed the Dragons' trial and become a Dragon Knight. Please allow me to introduce my new companion. "
"Breclin!" Samuel had already drunk a bottle of healing potion, and he stared coldly at the Saint-dragon.
"You still remember me, Samuel!" The Saint-dragon grinned, and his sharp teeth slowly grinded, revealing a murderous aura of hatred. "Last time in the final trial, you and Little Andrew used a trick to severely injure me. Not only did you cause me to lose the championship, but I was also bedridden for three months. Today, I'll repay you."
"The environment of the trial is equal, but you're not good at using tactics. Besides, if it weren't for the trial, you'd already be dead," Samuel said coldly. "What I didn't expect was that you would shamelessly take advantage of someone else's difficulties. You're a disgrace to Ryūzoku. As for you, Trinidad, you don't deserve to be called a Dragon Knight!"
"Since you're talking about tactics," Trinidad laughed heartily, "then have a taste of 'tactics' today. This is your last chance in life! Lord Gemünden, please step aside. This is a duel between two Dragon Knights. According to the rules of Ryūzoku, outsiders are not allowed to interfere, not even the Church of Light! "
A dragon's roar suddenly came from the distant sky, and a figure instantly appeared in the field. It was a young boy about 12 or 13 years old, and he had a delicate appearance. It was hard to believe that the dragon's roar came from such a young boy.
"Andrew?" Samuel looked at the boy in surprise. "How did you get here? Weren't you in Ryūzoku? "
"I snuck out," Andrew said, panting. "Judging from the situation, you're in trouble."
"Little Andrew!" Breclin said coldly, "You still don't understand the situation. This is a duel to the death. Are you sure you want to participate?"
The young boy was shocked. He looked at Trinidad who was opposite him, and then looked at the ferocious Breclin. Suddenly, he smiled. "Looks like I came at the right time."
Samuel nodded at Andrew forcefully, and his gaze fell on Trinidad. "Then … let's continue, the duel of the Dragon Knights!"
In the distance, Chen Rui and Isabella followed the Temple Knights and galloped all the way. They had already passed through the city gate in the southern suburbs. Rolla had received guidance from Ben Hong for the past two days, and she had begun to go into seclusion again to consolidate and comprehend the use of demigod-level power.
"What are you thinking about?" Isabella, who was riding together with Chen Rui, felt that the man behind her was a little absent-minded and asked. With Isabella's current strength, she could easily compress her voice to transmit her voice.
"I'm … calculating the time." Chen Rui gently kissed Isabella's hair. "Tonight, there will be a very important battle, whether it's for me or for Arthur."
In the distance.
This distance did not refer to the southern suburbs of the Jinyao Territory, but a place far away, an island country.
Underground of the Royal Mausoleum of the Meas Kingdom.
"What are you thinking about?"
It was also a woman's question.
"I'm … calculating the time." The other "Chen Rui" answered the same.
"Calculating the time?"
"Yes, Bilia … Oh, sorry, Solange, I'm calculating when the sacrificial ceremony will begin. I'm feeling a little nervous."
The one who asked the question was the Archbishop of the Eastern District of the Black Death Apostles, Solange. She also had another identity as the Head of the Academic Affairs Department of the Starlight Academy, Bilia. To be more precise, she was also a descendant of the royal family of the Cloud Empire. Although the Cloud Empire had been destroyed for many years, the remaining forces still had a place in the Mysterious Church, and the main force was concentrated in the Southern District. The Starlight Academy that Solange was in was under the jurisdiction of the Mysterious Church's Eastern District. As a direct descendant of the Southern District, she only had the title of a deacon here, but unexpectedly, she met Shura. Due to the relationship of interests, the two of them easily hooked up.
With Shura's help, her position unexpectedly rose, and she actually took the position of the Archbishop of the Eastern District. This greatly increased the strength of the Soaring Cloud Faction, and Shura also revealed his "true" strength, becoming the first Envoy of Destruction, and participated in the most important "God's Descent" sacrificial ceremony.
"You can also be nervous?" Solange smiled charmingly. "In my impression, the word 'nervous' has nothing to do with you."
"When it comes to the unknown, it's inevitable."
Shura shrugged, approached Solange, and reached one of his hands into the loose robe, grabbing a bulging bosom. "There are many ways to deal with nervousness, and I want to choose the most beautiful one."
"Wait …" Solange looked at Shura reproachfully. "At this time, you still have such emotions? Don't treat the sacrificial ceremony as a child's play. It can bring us great benefits, and if the gods punish us, it can turn a blessing into a curse. "
Shura smiled and pinched the top of the bosom, but he did not pull his hand out. Instead, he slid it all the way down, into the moist part of the jungle. "What exactly is the benefit? If you don't tell me, then I'll eat this benefit of yours first."
Solange had always been dissolute, and being teased by him like this, she was naturally aroused. But at this time, she really did not dare to indulge herself. She quickly grabbed the mischievous hand. "Don't mess around! The power of the gods can see through everything. This is a large-scale sacrificial ceremony that only happens once in a hundred years. If we lose the favor of the gods, it will not be worth it. "
"The favor of the gods?" Shura showed a look of interest, and his hand also stopped.
Solange hurriedly explained, "Generally speaking, the gods will bestow the corresponding power to all the believers who participate in the sacrificial ceremony, but only the favored ones can get the real power. The stronger the aura of destruction and killing in the body, the more recognized by the gods, and the more benefits they will get. They can be transformed by the gods into 'Soul Transformation', and receive the 'Heart of Domination' bestowed by the gods, greatly increasing their strength and potential. In times of crisis, they can also summon the will of the gods and integrate with the power of the gods, exerting incredible power to defeat the enemy. "
"Soul Transformation, Heart of Domination?" Shura's red eyes flashed a trace of indecipherable meaning, and he pulled his hand back. "Is there really such a great benefit?"
"Like you, I am also participating in this kind of sacrificial ceremony for the first time, but I can answer you with certainty, yes." Solange nodded. "Only those who have Soul Transformation and the Heart of Domination can become the true core. If you can get the favor, then congratulations, you will have the opportunity to enter the core of the church, and even become one of the future rulers of the church. Otherwise, no matter how much credit you have or how powerful you are, you will not succeed. However, any reward must be paid, and what we pay is absolute loyalty and a trace of the power of the soul. "
"Pay the soul?" Shura frowned.
"Yes, this can ensure the absolute loyalty of the favored ones. Those who can come here have passed through layers of tests, including you. You should be very clear, but it is inevitable that there will be people who have distracting thoughts. These people, under the soul of the gods, will have nowhere to hide. However, even if we are the most loyal believers, the gods will not accept our humble souls. This trace of the soul will fuse with the main altar, and become the link between the gods and us. "
Shura's eyes flashed. "In other words, if someone destroys the main altar, then it will cut off the connection between us and the gods? We will no longer be able to accept the power given by the gods? "
"Damage to the main altar will not only cause us to lose most of the power of the gods, but our souls will also be severely damaged, and even lose our lives." Solange said sternly. "So this is our most important base. Once it is invaded or destroyed, the consequences will be unimaginable. Especially during the main sacrificial ceremony, all the blood condensed by the bone towers will be dedicated to the main altar. This is the time when the defense is at its weakest, so no matter what, we must protect its safety. "
"I understand, this is also the greatest responsibility of the Messengers of Destruction." Shura nodded.
"I am going to Lord Curcs." Solange put on her mask. "Isn't it almost time for the Great Destroyer Kruchwitt to summon all the Messengers of Destruction? You should also get ready. "
Shura also picked up his mask, revealing a strange smile. "When the sacrificial ceremony is over, remember to clean yourself up, I will give you the most unforgettable night."
Solange winked at him and slowly walked away. Looking at her receding figure, Shura slowly put the mask on his face, covering the meaningful smile.
"I promise, this will be the most unforgettable night."
