The light ball kept shrinking and expanding. Lucien's long fingers were shining in silver. When he was about to touch the edge of the light ball, he stopped abruptly!
Dong! Dong! Lucien felt that his heart was beating so fast that it was almost jumping out of his chest at the same frequency as the weird light ball.
"Why did I make such a risky move?"
"I don't know anything about the light ball, and I dare to touch it?"
"What if it explodes? What if it contains a weird curse? What if it carries a legendary attack? "
A thin layer of cold sweat appeared on Lucien's forehead. His heart was filled with intense fear. If it weren't for his habitual cautiousness that made him hesitate at the last moment and regain his calmness and soberness, he probably would've touched the light ball and let the illusory fate dictate his life.
"Just now, I seemed to have been blinded by greed and curiosity. I knew that the light ball was very weird, but I still couldn't help but touch it."
"'I' seems to be suspecting that the light ball hides the mysteries of the World of Souls, the secrets of the Sun King, the unknown mysteries, and the unexplored realms of arcana yet to be explored. Therefore, it is hard for me to restrain myself.
Lucien took back his right hand and looked at the light ball in front of him solemnly.
"Is it because of the underground palace, or because of the arrival of the demon, 'Greed'?"
"Or maybe it's because of the weirdness of the light ball itself?"
"Maybe, they're actually the same thing? Or maybe they're closely related? "
All kinds of speculations popped up in Lucien's head. Soon, he made a decision. "I can't study the light ball blindly. Let's see if the Sun King left any relevant files first. Well, I don't have much time left. I have to perform the magic ritual right now and activate Mr. Rhein's arrangement."
The inner layer of the palace had been carefully checked by Rhine. Lucien did not find anything other than the magic circles, so he did not want to waste any more time here. On the other hand, the place where the great secret of Sun King was kept was very likely to be the place where the books and notes related to Sun King were kept.
Taking out the gorse brooch that contained mysterious power, Lucien carefully pinned it on the left chest of the statue of Thanos, as if it had always been there.
Taking a few steps back, Lucien started to activate the magic circle with complicated gestures and complicated spells.
… …
In the hall.
As the battle went on, more and more blood vessels popped up on Frederick's face. They almost completely covered his pale face, making him look mysterious and vicious. But the more he looked like this, the more powerful he became. He was now completely suppressing the Bardi prince. Even the prince's short-distance teleportation would be interrupted by Frederick's attacks.
Frederick's performance was way beyond the level of a Grand Knight. Arthen, who was strengthened by his equipment, could no longer join the battle. He could only take a step back and guard one of the doors, in case the prince ran away.
Not only him, but even Deniz gradually left the battle. This was because Frederick didn't seem to care about the existence of his companions at all. He continued to attack in a domineering and arrogant manner. If Deniz rushed forward to support Frederick, he would easily be injured by Frederick. Thus, Deniz retreated to another door and completely cut off Bardi's escape route.
Only Sophia, who could cast spells from a distance, could keep up with Frederick's pace. Wind Rope, Magnetic Field Shock, Stun, and other spells made Bardi suffer a lot.
As a lunatic who had just reached the level of a Grand Knight, Frederick believed that he could hold on until he found out that something was wrong and opened the underground palace by force. However, at the moment, every second seemed to be an extravagant luxury, because he did not know if he could survive the next attack.
Sophia, on the other hand, was still able to use Strong Sleep to put Claire into a deep sleep. However, she did not try to use Claire to threaten Bardi, because she knew very well that although her brother seemed to be gentle and considerate, he was actually very determined and resolute. There was no need to waste time on a woman. It was better to keep Claire here in case the blood of the Gorse family was needed in the secret chamber later.
At this time, Arthen's face changed. He turned around and opened the door of the hall. "Jocelyn, what's wrong?"
Jocelyn's face was pale. She stumbled into the hall and threw herself at Arthen. "Run! Run!" Arthen shouted, "Run! Andris has gone mad. He has turned into a monster. So, so disgusting, so terrifying! "
"What?" Arthen was not experienced enough. He did not know whether he should hold Jocelyn with his right hand and hold the shield in his left hand to prevent Beyer from escaping, or to comfort Jocelyn with his left hand and guard with his sword in his right hand, or to push Jocelyn away directly. Arthen panicked and asked Lucien.
Speaking of monsters, there was one in the hall!
Jocelyn seemed to be greatly frightened. Her will as a Grand Knight was about to collapse, "Monster! Andris has become a monster! He has killed so many people! No, he has eaten so many people! Run! Arthen! Take me out of here! "
Towards the end of her speech, she was already sobbing uncontrollably. Sparkling and translucent tears streamed down her face.
Arthen finally adjusted his posture and let Jocelyn lie on his chest. Seeing that Bardi could not get rid of Frederick, Arthen let out a sigh of relief. "He … He ate so many people? What happened to Andris? Are you okay? "
"I don't know. Andris suddenly turned into a monster, and then … I don't know how he forgot about me …" Jocelyn stammered. Arthen did not know what had happened to Andris, so he looked at Sophia and said, "I don't know. Andris suddenly became a monster, and then … I don't know how he forgot about me …"
Sophia slightly frowned her golden eyebrows, which made Arthen feel sorry for her. She then pointed at Frederick and asked Arthen not to worry. So what if Andris became a monster? There was a Grand Knight here!
Arthen immediately felt relieved. Yes, there was still Mr. Frederick. He seemed to have started to use the power of a Grand Knight. There was no need to be afraid of monsters.
Therefore, Arthen comforted Jocelyn while watching Bardi's struggle before Bardi's death. Sophia also cast magic to help Jocelyn.
A light green light appeared on Jocelyn's body, which was full of tranquility and softness. Jocelyn's mood gradually calmed down.
Seeing that Jocelyn's nightmarish expression gradually disappeared, and Arthen was comforting her, Deniz was guarding her, and the other nobles were on alert. She then looked at Frederick and Bardi, whose hair was messy and whose wings were broken, Sophia put on a proud and sarcastic smile.
"Greed is the greatest sin, and you will be punished for it. When Frederick can no longer control the power of the devil, it will be the beginning of your suffering."
Thinking of this, Sophia looked at "Beaulac" who was still standing there like an idiot, and then she looked at Relph with her eyes full of "love". She signaled Relph to be ready. Later, she would take Beaulac, Claire, and herself into the secret chamber and let Arthen and Frederick kill them.
"When we get the secret of the Sun King, Mr. Metatron will come out and kill the monster who killed the prince and the nobles, as well as the evil sorcerer who summoned the monster."
"Hehe, a candidate for the heir of the Gorse family, because he could not awaken his Blessing, lost his faith and became an evil sorcerer. Later, he accidentally learned the method to summon the strange demon and the spell to temporarily change the magic circle in the underground palace from an incomplete book passed down from generation to generation in his family. Therefore, he planned to defeat all the other candidates and steal the title of Golden-Eye Count."
"As a result, the summoned devil couldn't be controlled. It possessed a secret guard and carried out a cruel massacre. When His Excellency 'Glorious Crown' broke the restraint of the magic circle and came to save everyone, only the poor princess Sophia survived because she hid in the secret chamber in time."
"Let's have a moment of silence for the brave prince, Bardi, the loyal guard, Arthen, and the stupid but 'kind' Beaulac …"
"This is truly a flawless opera!"
Sophia looked at Deniz, who was wearing a ponytail. She felt a bit guilty and apologetic, "Deniz, I'm sorry. This is too important. Except for me, Uncle Ulrich, and His Excellency Metatron, everyone who knows what has happened must die."
"Only a dead person whose body and soul cannot be found can keep a secret!"
If it were not for the fact that the Gorse Duke and the Glorious Crown were too powerful for her to handle, she would definitely choose to keep the secret to herself.
All Bardi could see was Frederick's afterimages. He could not tell which one was real and which one was fake. His arms were so heavy that he almost reached the limit of his strength.
"Then let's do it!"
Bardi was determined. The wings of light on his back suddenly spread out, and the holy light was flowing in the air.
Feathers fell one after another, and the wings of light quickly disappeared. Beyer's body was covered in holy light. Even the green "devil's horns" were dyed white by the holy light.
"The Wrath of Justice!"
Sophia blurted out. This was the talent ability of the Angel of Justice, which could only be used after one became a Knight!
It could increase the damage to all evil creatures by one level!
Bardi had not become a Knight yet!
A pure holy light flashed and illuminated the entire hall.
When the light faded away, Bardi was panting heavily with his longsword in his hand. His blond hair had withered and fallen off, and there was only a wrinkled scalp left. However, he was still standing!
Frederick took a few steps back, and a bloody mark appeared on his face. The bloody mark quickly spread, and it seemed that Frederick's whole body was about to be cut in half.
"Did we win?" Bardi was overjoyed. He did not have much strength to speak.
Sophia's expression slightly changed. "Is he dead?"
Deniz, Arthen, and the rest of them were deeply shocked. They did not know that Bardi had such a powerful trump card. What should they do next?
Frederick, whose head was about to be cut in half, suddenly put on a creepy smile.
When they were all frightened by the creepy smile, the protruding veins on Frederick's face, hands, and body began to fall off one after another. They were like countless terrifying dark red tentacles!
The creepy veins immediately covered the entire hall, covering the gate and the walls.
The main few red blood tentacles pierced deeply into the bodies on the ground like needles. Soon, the bodies became smaller and smaller, squeezing into the veins and flowing to Frederick.
"Come into me. This is what I deserve!"
Frederick murmured to himself in a greedy tone. The hideous wounds on his body quickly recovered.
"Monster … Monster!"
Jocelyn was shocked again by the disgusting and horrible scene. Arthen, Deniz, and the rest of them all became alert, confused, and frightened.
Was he still a human being?
Was he out of control?
Sophia saw that the entrance of the secret chamber was not covered by the veins yet. She quietly dragged Claire to the entrance and asked Relph to take Beaulac with them. This monster was even more creepy than they thought. They could not wait any longer.
As soon as she saw Relph, she was stunned, because the "Beaulac" that was frozen on the spot suddenly burst like a bubble under the touch of a few spreading veins.
Burst?
Beaulac burst!
Sophia did not know what was going on. She saw that the veins extended into the secret chamber and then turned into ashes.
Turned into ashes?
Sophia stared at Beaulac and saw a transparent figure appearing in the air. It was Beaulac!
"You are really something!"
"You're actually a sorcerer under the cover of your Blessing? Are you trying to find the treasure of the Sun King secretly? "
Sophia knew that Beaulac was not as simple as he seemed. He pretended to like her, but she did not care. Even if Beaulac had secrets, how powerful could he be? Could he be as powerful as Frederick? Could he be as powerful as the Crown of Glory? At this moment, Sophia felt that she had figured out Beaulac's background. She shouted angrily, "Deniz, catch him!"
She ordered her Knight to catch Beaulac. She flapped her six pairs of angel wings, and Beaulac was instantly surrounded by many cyan wind ropes.
After Claire fell asleep, Joseph, a noble Knight, who was the closest to the secret chamber, held his sword with both of his hands and hacked at Beaulac before Deniz's lightning strike.
However, at this time, Sophia was shocked to see that the cyan wind ropes were absorbed by a light wall that appeared out of nowhere. Countless magic runes were flowing on the light wall, and the wind ropes disappeared instantly.
"Douglas' Absorbing Wall?"
When Sophia recognized the magic, Joseph rushed to Lucien and saw the gentle smile on Lucien's face.
Pu, the sound of gas expanding could be heard, and a cloud of black fog enveloped Joseph.
Deniz's pupils suddenly constricted, and the lightning that he was about to release dissipated on his sword. When the black mist disappeared, Joseph was nowhere to be seen. Instead, there was a pink rabbit lying on the ground!
A rabbit?
Malicious Polymorph?
"You're not Beaulac?!"
Sophia's face changed greatly. She was a bit panicked.
The fourth-circle spell, Douglas' Absorbing Wall, and the fifth-circle spell, Malicious Polymorph, were not important. What mattered was that the light wall could absorb Sophia's wind ropes so easily. What mattered was that Beaulac could release a fifth-circle spell so easily!
Except for the crazy monster Frederick, everyone fell into an indescribable silence.
