...The Royal Capital of Farna...
...Forgia...
...Ruins of the Royal Palace...
...Midnight...
‘Duaaarrrrr!!!’
Behind the ruins of a building, the figure of a Knight with silver armor was thrown away.
‘Bruk! Bruk!!’
His body was rolled around in the rubble of the buildings that filled this place.
Instantly, there was the sound of the shouts of the Knights and Warriors.
“Mr Arlond!”
“We will come...”.
Before he could finish his words, a wall of fire emerged from underground.
‘Wuuooossshh!!!’
“Arrrgghh!!”
“Quick, get out of here!!!”
The soldiers and Knights who were there started to panic. Hundreds of people died instantly after receiving a burst of hot flames from underground. An Epic [Flame Wall] level skill that was supposed to be quite weak and small, had now become extremely deadly due to being in the hands of a strong person.
“Fufu…. Is this the ability of a hero who is talked about so much?! In retaliation for your humiliation, I will kill all the soldiers that are here!” Lucien shouted loudly.
Now his appearance is quite bad because he has lost his left arm. The noble clothes he was wearing seemed to be torn in some parts and filled with dust. Even so, he still looked so elegant and terrifying at the same time.
“Fire Blast!” Shouted Lucien while raising his right arm. The goal was very clear, namely the crowd of soldiers who were running.
‘Duuuuaaarr!!!’
There was a fairly large explosion at the center of his attack, should have been hundreds of soldiers dead instantly. But unfortunately, there is something beyond belief.
Behind the explosion, there was a silver knight with a large shield in his left hand. Arlonds.
He managed to contain almost the entire blast by standing right in front of the center of the explosion. By utilizing his Epic Skill [Iron Wall] as well as his [Fortitude], He managed to withstand almost all the potential damage He should have received.
In front of him, there is a notification window that can make everyone amazed.
[You have received 31 damage!]
“Devil! You won't be able to beat me! And I, will kill you right now! All troops, advance! I will protect you!!!” Shouted Arlond very loudly.
“Wuooohh!!”
“Mr Arlond is right!!”
“For His Majesty the King!!”
Arlond then immediately ran with cover behind his large shield. Behind him, there were thousands of troops running in his footsteps. Not only that….
‘Syuuuttt!! Syuutt!!’
Thousands of arrows shot right towards Lucien. Most of it missed, but a few arrows appeared to hit Lucien.
But unfortunately, Lucien was able to withstand it very easily using the [Wind Aura] skill that enveloped the entire body of the user with a fairly strong wind pressure.
The whole arrow that approached his body? It immediately bounced and fell to the ground.
“Whatever you collect trash, they won't be able to match me human hero!!!” Lucien shouted trying to provoke the soldiers.
But the effect is just the opposite. All the soldiers who heard it became even more excited and wanted to kill him as soon as possible!
But without anyone noticing, a sword had struck Lucien.
Thanks to a simple Rare level skill that [Dash] made Arlond able to cut a distance of 10 meters in an instant. He pointed his sword right at Lucien's chest.
[You have hit the vital point of the target!]
[You have given ‘Critical Hit!’]
[You've given 114,269 damage!]
“Kughh!!!” Shouted Lucien while spewing blood.
‘What the fuck?! Why did he become so strong? Didn't I already obtain the blessing from the star that increased my defense?!’ Lucien cried out in his heart.
“Death to you, Devil!!!” Shouted Arlond as he prepared to swing his sword towards Lucien's neck. The Knights who were Warriors who were still 10 meters away seemed to begin to slacken their steps.
At that moment, Lucien seemed to be slightly losing himself. He was dissolved in the atmosphere of a tense fight that he had been waiting for for a long time.
A fight with life is at stake.
With a sharp look, Lucien uttered a skill name that he should never have used to his co-worker Arlond.
“Blood…. Exchange...”
‘Deg! Deg!!’
Arlond felt a strange sensation within him. His previous view seemed so clear and his body was so fit now….
As if I had no energy at all.
His previous Health Point which was still in the range of 95% more has now changed to 12%.
All the Warriors and Knights who were behind Arlond were shocked instead of playing around to stop their steps.
“For the Goddesses…. What are we really fighting? Is He the messenger of the God of Death?” Asked a Knight while dropping his sword and shield.
In front of them, Lucien and Arlond appear as if exchanging blood. Blood from all over Arlond and Lucien's bodies came out and swapped places.
Now, Health Point Lucien is back full and is ready to continue round two of the fight. And Arlond? He fell to the ground in shock at what had happened.
Not only that, Arlond also felt tremendous pain throughout his body.
“K-you...” Said Arlond, widening his eyes.
“Don't get me wrong, Arlond. I just want to show you our true power difference.” Lucien said without the slightest smile on his face.
...***...
And on the other side….
A girl in ragged clothes ran very fast. There was a red dagger in both hands.
‘Lucien…. How's things going in there? I hope you're okay.’ The woman named Elin said in her heart.
He realized that the opponent faced by Lucien was the Triassic King who was certainly very strong. Not only that, a fairly large explosive sound appeared to be heard in the direction of the Royal Palace.
But by the time Elin had arrived at the ruins of the Royal Palace, what he saw was beyond his wildest imagination.
‘Si Arlond it is able to compensate Lucien?!’ Shouted Elin in the heart.
He had arrived by the time Lucien threw Arlond out of the ruins of the building.
A few minutes passed, the conditions were getting hotter. Lucien is cornered by Arlond. Elin plans to rescue Lucien immediately if the situation worsens and escapes. Of course, that was all included in the scenario.
But what exactly happened….
‘Lucien?! What the hell are you doing?! You can't kill Arlond here!!’
Immediately, Elin ran towards Lucien to stop him.
But unfortunately, it was too late.
‘Sraaattt!!’
Lucien's hand with a very sharp nail pierced through Arlond's chest. Soon after, he pulled his hand out.
Blood poured from Arlond's chest.
Not only that, Lucien again swung his right arm once again. The target? Chief Arlond.
“Lucien!!” Shouted Elin reflexively.
Instantly, Lucien realized what He was doing.
“A-me...” Said Lucien in disarray.
But apparently, Arlond didn't give Lucien time to rest. Now, his sword seemed to be enveloped by a white light. The wounds on his body began to heal slowly. In fact, his Status increased by almost 4x thanks to the support of the troops behind his back.
“I'll kill you here! Demon!!!” Shouted Arlond while swinging his sword towards Lucien's neck.
‘Zraaaattt!!’
The sword was seen successfully beheading Lucien. But now, the slashed head seemed to have turned a little dark and started rolling on the ground. In just an instant, the wisp turned into a white light.
Elin who saw this looked very surprised. He immediately took Lucien's body and left this place as quickly as possible.
And Arlond?
He raised his sword as high as possible and shouted victory.
“We have managed to kill high-level Devils! Victory is on our side!!” Shouted Arlond loudly.
“Mr Arlond!!”
“Wooooaaahh!!!”
“As expected of a hero!!!”
“Life Mr Arlond!!”
Although filled with a very lively cheer, Arlond still put on a serious face. It was all because of the system notification that was before him.
[You have done 0 damage!]
‘I swung the sword just to slightly scratch its neck. But why cut? What really happened?’ Arlond asked himself in confusion.
...***...
...Outside the walls of the City of Forgia...
“Lucien, are you okay?” Elin asked Lucien, who had no head.
Lucien's body now began to disintegrate and turned into hundreds of bats. The crowd of bats began to form the figure of a man. After all the bats rejoined, Lucien looked so healthy.
In fact, his left hand had returned to how it was.
“Of course, Miss Elin. Please forgive me for getting too carried away. How else, the fight just now was too exciting for me.” Lucien replied with a smile.
“Good then, we'll report it to Eric soon. And also, what the fuck just happened?” Elin asked in confusion.
“I let go of my own head. The ones that Arlond had scratched and fell on the ground were just a few of my bats. Of course, I can't do it if the enemy keeps attacking me in a row!”
Hearing his reply, Elin seemed to make a complicated facial expression.
