"Not good! Inferno Shield! " Veronica pulled out a scroll from her robe and tore it open. Crimson flames formed a protective barrier around her and Laing.
"How can a mere flame like this hurt me?!" The Fallen Hunter's roar reverberated through the orphanage. The Inferno Shield was broken by his axe, and Laing swung his hammer at Belmont again.
"You … you cut through the fire?!" Veronica's eyes widened. The Witch backed away, her face pale, ready to cast another spell.
"My Lord hasn't given up on me!" Belmont's Whirlwind Slash forced Laing back. He laughed maniacally. "What a wonderful fight! My Lord has taken notice of me! From now on, there is no more Belmont. There is only the Champion of Kronos, the Lifeseizer! "
Belmont's body was charred black, and his internal organs were exposed. He reached out with his sword and sliced open his left rib.
Then he made another cut on his right shoulder.
Suddenly, a large amount of blood gushed out from the two wounds. The blood danced in the air and surrounded Belter.
Laing wanted to attack again, but Veronica pulled him back. "Don't! Laing, that thing is full of explosive energy! "
"Damn it! I knew it! Belmont's actions have attracted the Blood God's attention! "Laing had no choice but to stop.
A few seconds later, in the explosion, the blood faded away.
His skin was now grey. Two enormous horns protruded from the side of his head, and a bone spear protruded from the center of his skull. The skull of his mentor, Master Demonhunter Jacob, hung from the top of the bone spear.
His aura had risen from the middle legendary to the advanced.
One of Belmont's hands transformed into a giant claw, while the other held a greataxe taller than himself. His muscles bulged as he swung his axe at Laing. The axe broke the sound barrier and smashed into Laing's hammer. When Laing was ready to fight again, Belmont stopped.
Belmont, the Fallen Hunter – no, the Champion of Kronos, spoke proudly. "The road to glory is long and bloody. Every battle is a step to the top. At the end of the road are unimaginable rewards. Only the brave and courageous, blessed by the Blood God himself, deserve them. You don't deserve them. I do! "
"Do you mortals want to be as powerful as I am? Do you want endless glory and blessings? I'll give you a chance. If you can join my Lord, I'll spare you and this witch's life. "
"…" Laing was silent. He suddenly whispered to Veronica, "Veronica, step back."
"Laing?" Veronica nodded at Laing. They looked at each other.
Was he going to use that?
Yes!
So, Wizard Garland slowly stepped back. Laing reached for the hilt of his one-handed sword.
Veronica's beautiful eyes were full of the man's shadow.
Laing looked like he was considering his options. Lifetaker did not attack. The geno prototype took out the holy water the Lake Fairy had given him. The holy water worked immediately. It created a fog in the subspace, blocking the Evil God's vision.
"The endless subspace rifts and the chaotic energy within them are an eternal nightmare that the prime material plane can never get rid of. The Evil Gods and Demons used fear to tear apart the fragile veil between Chaos and reality. The great Emperor foresaw that if they were allowed to do as they wished, it would not be long before countless lives would be wiped out, and countless glories would be reduced to ruins. The Evil God of Chaos would return to the world and bring endless nightmares. "Veronica softly read a scripture in High Gothic in her mind.
This scripture recorded the secrets of Laing's life and his family name.
"When the darkness fell, the king found his most loyal servant, Magic Mark Macado. The king's most loyal servant went through many blockades and completed an impossible mission."
"The Grey Knights were born. They were like the light that pierced through the darkness. They were the last salvation of mankind. They were the king's last gift."
"Laing Macado."
Laing's right hand held the hilt of the sword. Under the urging of his supreme will, he unsheathed the sword with one hand. There was a pleasant sound between the blade and the scabbard.
"I've never dared to use this sword because I felt that I wasn't worthy of it. I felt that it was too heavy for my shoulders to bear," Laing mumbled to himself as if he was talking to Lifetaker.
"So, you're going to fight?" Lifetaker knew Laing's choice.
The sword was unsheathed and Laing held it in his hand.
This one-handed longsword was about 1.3 meters long. Its entire body was bright silver, and its body was engraved with mysterious runes. It was sacred and full of majesty. The entire sword was covered in a nearly transparent white flame and emitted a light blue light.
"But now, I will embrace my destiny!"
"I am the original body! I am the Grey Knight Laing Macado! "Laing raised the sword and pointed it at the sky.
The sky changed color.
The one-handed sword kept humming as if it was responding to Laing's words. The white flame on the sword burned brighter and brighter.
Outside the orphanage, Schultz and Aldrich were waiting for the battle to end. They could faintly feel a huge amount of energy flowing in the ruins of the orphanage. Duke Marimburg sighed. "Laing, what an amazing young man."
"Yes, his talent is unmatched in the old world … Should we help him?" Aldrich was still worried about Laing's safety.
"No, he can handle it." Schultz rejected the idea. He had absolute confidence in Laing.
Laing was the son of God.
What the two of them didn't notice was that in the distance, Amelia, who was wearing a maid's uniform, was hiding behind a tree and secretly observing the situation inside the orphanage. The little maid had a complicated expression on her face.
"Sure enough, that sword is Nemesis."
Amelia noticed that the single-handed sword on her back was vibrating restlessly, so she hugged it to her chest. "Is that so? You feel it too? "
"I'm sorry! I'm really sorry that you have to suffer with me. I'm really sorry! " Big drops of tears fell on the cloth wrapped around the sword. "But no matter what, I can't let you fall into someone else's hands."
The girl's tears seemed to have worked. The sword stopped moving, and the girl hugged the sword tightly. "Let's go home. Go home."
…
"So what if you use a sword? So what if you use a hammer? I'll burn this city and take your skulls! "Lifetaker finally had enough of Laing's' performance '. It thought that Laing was just bluffing.
"I am the Blade of Exorcism!" Nemesis waved, and a dazzling white light illuminated the inside of the orphanage. The silver sword clashed with Lifetaker's giant axe, and Nemesis left a deep mark on the axe.
Lifetaker was horrified. Even the axe blessed by Khorne could not withstand the power of the sword?!
The white flames touched Lifeseizer's body, leaving behind a bone-chilling pain. Lifeseizer realized that it had never felt such pain ever since it started worshipping the Blood God. This made it even more furious. Lifeseizer launched a barrage of attacks at Leon.
"I am the Light of Dawn!" The silver sword slashed across Lifetaker's chest, leaving white flames in the air and evaporating the blood.
The Lifesaver screamed as it retreated. There was a bone-deep wound on its chest. This wound was on top of the previous one. It was the wound that Jacob had inflicted on Belt before he died. Even though Belt had become the champion of the khoroscope, the wound had not fully healed.
"Ahhhhh!!!" The Lifesaver felt the pain of its soul being burned. The white flames were like maggots attached to its bones, adhering to its wounds.
The worshipper of the Blood God would not give up just like that. It rose again and engaged in a fierce battle with Laing.
Laing's swordsmanship was amazing. The one-handed sword in his hand was like a silver fire dragon, spitting out dragon's breath.
The sword was too strong. Every time Leon swung the sword, it felt extremely dangerous. The holy energy of the sword was constantly burning its soul and destroying its body. Lifesaver did not dare to face the enemy head-on, because even the Blood God's blessing could not resist the power of the Goddess of Vengeance.
Holding Nemesis in his hand, Laing felt as if he was connected to it by blood.
This was a sword that belonged exclusively to him. This was the Emperor's favoritism towards Leon. Very few Originals could receive the Emperor's true fatherly love. Horus was one of them, and he was one of them. This sword was personally made for him by the Emperor, and the Macado surname was also personally bestowed upon him by the Emperor.
The war hammer was Laing's secondary weapon. Nemesis was his main weapon.
Under Laing's steady advance, Lifetaker's space was compressed to the limit. It knew that if this continued, it would die without a doubt.
"Dance of Death!" Lifetaker unleashed its most powerful attack. Both its axe and claws were swung at Laing.
Laing calmly took out his shotgun and pulled the trigger.
The powerful impact of the shotgun disrupted Lifesaver's battle technique, and the exploding mercury bullets forced Lifesaver to retreat. Lifesaver was stunned for a short period of time before it could regain its momentum.
"Amintoc's Net!" Magus Garan's spell arrived, and white threads of magic extended from Veronica's body. She took advantage of this opportunity to entangle Lifesaver.
"Hah!" The witch's spell only managed to bind the Lifeseizer for a short moment. The Lifeseizer's muscles tightened, and the tainted energy extended out, tearing apart the magic threads. Veronica's spell had failed, but that did not mean that she had failed. The giant sword burning with white flames had already slashed across the Lifeseizer's neck.
"Accept your judgment! Demon! "
Lifetaker's head fell to the ground. Lifetaker's body twitched twice before it lost all signs of life.
A glass jar fell to the ground and shattered. The flesh inside was vaporized by Garlan's holy flames and turned to ash.
The Master Demonhunter Beldt, the shameless Hunter Beldt, Khorne's Champion of Chaos, Lifetaker, had become history by Laing's hand. His soul had been shattered by Laing's psionic power. Everything about him had been reduced to dust.
The battle was over.
"Phew …" Veronica's face was pale. She stumbled to Laing's side and leaned on his shoulder. "You should've drawn your sword earlier. It wouldn't have been so troublesome."
"Most of the time, I've subconsciously avoided it, but now I've thought it through. The time to hide my strength and bide my time is over. I will no longer hide my real name. From today onwards, I will walk the world as Ryan Macado." Laing sheathed Vengeance. His voice was a little breathless. "Also, using this sword takes a lot of stamina."
It wasn't that Laing didn't want to use Vengeance in many of his previous battles. But the sword was like a bottomless pit that sucked at his stamina and psionic energy. He couldn't sustain Vengeance with his current strength. That was why he didn't draw it when he fought against Birex and Minotaur. He knew that if he did, he had to kill them in one blow.
But things were different now. After reaching the mid-legendary level, his stamina had increased exponentially. With the blessing of the Holy Grail, Laing could now use Vengeance for a longer period of time.
Picking up Beldt's head, Laing plucked Jacob's skull from the bone spur. Under his pale blue psionic flames, the vice-chairman's skull was reduced to dust. "I'm sorry, Master Jacob."
The only reply he got was a wisp of smoke.
"Anneda Klausner, president of the Aesthetic Society, has been beheaded! Khorne's Champion Beldt has been killed by the great hero of mankind, Laing! " Grand Duke Marimburg and the Archbishop of Poseidon walked in. Schultz said loudly, "Thank you for your help, Mister Laing. As the Grand Duke of Marimburg, I hereby announce that Mister Laing is the next guardian of Marimburg. Mister Laing will always be a friend of Marimburg!"
"I'm very honored by this." Laing didn't refuse. He immediately agreed. The Grand Duke was helping him build up his reputation in this way. The two had a tacit understanding. To some extent, Schultz was serving him.
"The Church of the Sea is willing to do justice." The Archbishop of Poseidon Aldrich also walked up and shook hands with Laing. "Let's go back and clean up the remnants of the Aesthetic Society. We'll completely destroy this Cult of Chaos and seize its assets. We'll give Mister Laing 50% of the wealth as a reward."
Laing didn't know how much 50% of the wealth of the Aesthetic Society would be, but he could guess that it would be an amazing number. He deserved it, and he didn't have any psychological burden.
The group left some troops to clean up the battlefield. The rest immediately rushed to the headquarters of the Aesthetic Society in Shield Coin Street. With the help of the Poseidon Knights and the Iris Guards, the headquarters of the Aesthetic Society was immediately sealed up. Poseidon Mannen was obviously angry. Anyone who dared to resist, whether it was merchants or artists, was killed by the Poseidon Knights.
The nobles and merchants of Marimburg turned a blind eye to this. They had a vested interest in the new round of reshuffling. There was no need to be unhappy with the Church of the Sea because of this.
"What are you doing?! What are you doing?! "A famous artist's face was full of shock. He stood in front of the crowd." Stop! You're destroying art! You're trampling on civilization! "
The Grand Duke of Marimburg answered him with an indifferent and cold voice. "We're protecting civilization. Sir, if you don't want to die, get out of the way."
Between life and death and art, this artist bravely stood on the side of art.
Schultz signaled with his eyes. Sir Robert raised his sword and the artist's head fell to the ground. The surrounding artists were shocked by this brutal action.
"Let's go in!"
