Chapter 251: Crossing

The domain began to expand with Jiang Xia at its center, and the bullets speeding through the air instantly lost all their power.

They fell straight onto the blue stone slabs, making a tinkling sound.

This was not Jiang Xia's own power; it was the power inherent in the armor.

His Decade does not need to insert cards like Menya Shi does; instead, it can skip this step and directly use the special abilities of the already unlocked Knights.

Hai Dong Dashu instantly took out two cards from his waist card case; one card was entirely blue with silver wings on the chest.

The other card was entirely black as a base, with white stripes engraved all over, a Knight card.

"KAMANRIDEDRAKE (Thunder Dragonfly)"

"KAMANRIDEDELTE (Delta)"

As the sound effect rang out, the two gun-wielding Knights aimed at Jiang Xia together.

Hai Dong Dashu took the opportunity to roll on the ground, then immediately escaped outside the domain's range.

The three fired simultaneously, sparks flying from the muzzles; Hai Dong Dashu realized he could not clash head-on with Jiang Xia, and could only create distance to look for an opportunity.

"Just a puppet summon?"

Looking at the bullets shooting down like raindrops, Jiang Xia silently drew the card-box sword at his waist, allowing the energy bullets to come at him with their impact.

When the bullets were only half a meter from Jiang Xia's body, they suddenly lost all their power and hung in the air.

They then fell down; even increasing their number had no effect.

Drake and Delta again aimed their guns at Jiang Xia, but this time was different: blue electric arcs flickered on Drake.

The bullet fired by Delta instantly turned into a purple cone in midair; Delta then leapt up, merged with the cone, and kicked fiercely at Jiang Xia.

The electric sphere and the Fallen Angel's Hammer spread out in the air, blocking the path and firmly locking onto Jiang Xia's body.

Jiang Xia smiled; a black mark erupted out of thin air, like a blade slicing the air, but immensely huge, its edge flickering with crimson lightning.

Delta's Fallen Angel's Hammer kicked the seal barrier; the original Fallen Angel's Hammer was directly broken.

Delta's whole body was like a prisoner bound to a cross.

Under the continually flowing electric arcs, with a boom, it exploded directly.

Jiang Xia gripped his right hand tightly; the blade of the card-box sword instantly turned crimson.

With a casual swing, the crescent-shaped light blade cut the electric sphere in half, then without any hindrance slashed directly into Drake.

"Does this also have no effect?"

Hai Dong Dashu's face beneath the mask grew increasingly grim; not only close combat, but even long-range attacks could not break through the defense.

All he could do was try this; Hai Dong Dashu made up his mind and directly inserted a golden card.

"FIVALATTACKRIDEDIEND (Ultimate Attack Riding the Final Knight)"

Countless Knight cards instantly gathered at the muzzle; powerful energy instantly converged together, like layer upon layer of waves.

As Hai Dong Dashu pulled the trigger, an impact like a data stream burst from the muzzle, shooting straight at the present Jiang Xia.

"Boom!"

A huge fire shot up into the sky, shrapnel flying in all directions; the square made of blue stone bricks continually developed spiderweb-like cracks, and as the smoke cleared only a huge pit remained.

Before Hai Dong Dashu could come to his senses, a barrage of golden cards pierced his body, binding Hai Dong Dashu's body in the middle.

Jiang Xia's figure flashed with the light, appearing out of thin air in high altitude; his pink armor turned into a stream of light in the air.

His body passed through the center of the golden cards; each time he passed through one, the force on his feet increased by one. With a boom, the Rider Kick from the stacked seven or eight cards struck squarely in Hai Dong Dashu's chest.

A harsh electric arc sound rose from Hai Dong Dashu's body.

With a crack, Hai Dong Dashu's armor instantly shattered; his body kept rolling on the ground until it finally stopped after hitting a step beside him.

Jiang Xia picked up the fallen Diend Driver from the ground and lightly picked it up, fully copying it.

Decade and Diend were originally the same set of equipment, both developed with the help of Menya Shi's special ability using the Major Repair Card; now they can be considered returned to their rightful owner.

"Don't be a thief anymore."

Jiang Xia looked at the panel that had finished copying, then gently placed the Diend Driver on Hai Dong Dashu's body.

"Menya Shi is fine; you can go check for yourself."

Hai Dong Dashu strangely looked at Jiang Xia; after defeating him, he returned the driver, as if merely confirming whether the driver was genuine.

Having said that, Jiang Xia summoned the Aurora Curtain and left this special parallel world.

His purpose was merely to recover the Moon's Eye and the Diend Driver, and incidentally test Decade's power.

At the moment of the explosion, he directly used Jia Dou's acceleration to escape the attack range, then turned around and used a Rider Kick.

As expected, using special abilities of multiple Knights to counterattack is indeed excellent.

Unfortunately, too few Knights have been unlocked.

At the moment the Diend Driver was copied, the original Decade Driver instantly turned into a dial and swallowed the Diend Driver.

This time Jiang Xia did not feel that sense of inheriting history, because the Decade dial, strictly speaking, has no history.

As the Aurora Curtain flashed, the scene before his eyes changed abruptly; after a shift of light and shadow, the surroundings suddenly grew dark.

A wailing cold wind blew from all directions; this place was like a cave that never sees sunlight year-round, filled with dampness and chill.

Jiang Xia paid no heed to the surroundings; even though he was underground with no trace of oxygen, it did not affect his treasure hunting in the slightest.

Here there was hardly any light, but Jiang Xia still surveyed the surroundings until everything was clear.

The Earth Library kept constantly prompting him about everything happening here.

For example, the center of this underground cavern, which somewhat resembles a church, once held a stone-made sarcophagus engraved with various animal patterns.

However, that sarcophagus had already been carried away a few months ago; it is now long gone from Europe.

Indeed, Jiang Xia is now at an underground ruin in Europe; in fact, what he seeks is not that sarcophagus.

But rather another entity hidden nearby, a body formed from desire.

"It's actually hidden here; it seems that over these 800 years, this place has undergone geological changes."

Jiang Xia looked at the rock wall that now had no path, and slowly said.

What he was looking for was behind this rock wall; the strong vibration caused the body that should have been not far from the sarcophagus to be buried under the rock, and then it got stuck behind the wall.

If it were others, they would have to break open the surface rock with a drilling machine while ensuring safety, but Jiang Xia didn't need to go through all that trouble.

He just placed his hand on the rock wall, exerted a little force, and the originally thick wall instantly turned into gravel, sliding down before Jiang Xia until an opening just big enough for a person to pass through appeared.

Jiang Xia's gaze fell on the body wrapped in white-gray bandages, and he let out an exclamation: "Found it, Anku, who has not yet given birth to a new consciousness."
