Chapter 2339: Dragon-Born Knight

~10 min read 1,952 words

If it weren't for confirming that the spatial integrity of this strange glowing white fog had not been destroyed, Xia De would even suspect that a rift leading to real death had actually appeared in front of the direction the group was moving.

The vibration of the badge on his chest was becoming more and more intense, and the sound of fighting from an unknown direction in the fog was also approaching this bridge. Regardless, the matter here really needed to be resolved as soon as possible.

Finally, a black shadow appeared in front of the glowing thick fog. And when the group continued to move forward, what they saw was an armored knight holding a black metal long spear, standing alone in the center of the Moon Bay Bridge.

In the real world, this position of the bridge has not yet been closed.

He was wearing full-body armor, so his specific appearance could not be seen at all, but looking at the slightly frowning expressions of the two witches, it was known that this must be a man.

The white fog around him looked like it was repelled by some invisible force field, and the abnormal moonlight escaping from the gaps in his armor made him look like an unstable bomb. Just looking at it would give people a needle-pricking feeling.

The Countess, who was pulling Xia De's sleeve, was the first to speak:

"This suit of armor is very familiar, and the logo on its chest... around 500 years in the Sixth Era, I'm not sure of the specific time, but at that time, the Eddington family produced a ring master, and he was a dragon-born!"

She clearly recalled the records she had seen in the materials recently:

"The book didn't write his name, but he was the only dragon-born ring master among the seven major families in the entire Sixth Era! And his bloodline seemed to come from himself, which proves that the seven major families themselves contain recessive dragon bloodlines. I remember when he died, his level was 8th-tier."

"But this posture doesn't look like he's only 8th-tier at all."

Xia De said softly, and Sister Diefulin nodded slightly. The nun with an indifferent tone spoke in the fog, as if producing a strange echo:

"The abnormal light and pure death made this undead from a thousand years ago more powerful."

She turned her head slightly, letting the silver eye mask "look" at Xia De:

"The two of us will solve it. The cluster of sparks in the New Continent made the 【Original Fire】 more complete. Hero who carries the fire, please let me bring you more power."

The armored knight standing in the center of the lower floor of the Moon Bay Bridge did not approach the group that stopped, and the other girls heard Sister Diefulin's words and looked at them curiously... Helen and Grace didn't seem very curious, they just smiled and stood beside Xia De, occasionally pulling his clothes, or suddenly looking at the Countess and scaring her.

"Here?"

Xia De asked, and seeing Sister Diefulin nod, he nodded a bit embarrassedly:

"No problem."

Following his movements, the fire-red embers on his clothes and cuffs drifted into the fog. He knelt on one knee in front of the nun, while the nun bent slightly, her hands cupped in front of her and handed forward.

On the fingers with slight burn marks, as the skin fell off, the traces of the original fire embers like those on Xia De's body appeared on Sister Diefulin's hands.

Then, a circular black flame heart appeared in the palms of her hands, and thin orange-red flames floated upward, and at this time Xia De also stretched out his right hand and placed it on Sister Diefulin's hands.

In an instant, the flames ignited him from the nun's palms along Xia De's arms. Xia De and Sister Diefulin didn't feel the overheated flames, but it forced the other four girls to retreat continuously.

The Red Butterfly girl retreated the fastest, and blue flames seemed to jump in the Blue Dragon girl's blue eyes. Miss Beiya and Miss Sylvia stood side by side watching the scene where Xia De, kneeling on one knee, was ignited. The Countess bit her lip and asked the young witch beside her:

"Why do I feel that this scene is wrong?"

"Is there?"

Miss Sylvia immediately looked alertly at the armored knight who was still standing motionless in the fog:

"What did you feel? That undead didn't move~"

"No, I mean... you are still too young, you didn't see it, he and the nun... I always feel that their relationship is very unusual."

Her voice was so low that only Miss Sylvia could hear it, and the thick fog itself had the ability to absorb sound, so there was no need to worry about being heard by others.

【Outsider, you touched the "Original Fire."】

The voice in his ears was still clear even in the fog:

【Outsider, when using some strange techniques, you can integrate the power of the Original Fire. Note that the special spellcasting method that consumes flames will aggravate the consumption of spirit.】

The exploding flames gradually converged on Xia De's body until they returned to the original "Original Fire Ember" state. Xia De stood up, and the translucent sword body of the silver moonlight greatsword grabbed from the air by his right hand was outlined by crimson flames flowing inside.

He smiled and put away the "Moonlight Greatsword," and took back the 【Time Flute】 from Miss Ileth's hand. The flames then flowed to the wooden long sword, and the firelight made the long sword look like it had been extended by a large section out of thin air.

Sister Diefulin also withdrew the flames from her palms and straightened her waist. The sickle that had been inserted into the bridge deck was held by her again, and she didn't seem to have any intention of using the Angel-level long sword 【Ashes】.

"I'll go check the situation near the bridge to prevent others from disturbing you."

The Blue Dragon girl took the initiative to say, and Miss Sylvia also spoke:

"I'll go with you."

The Countess knew that her strength was not enough, so she didn't say she would go too. But when Miss Ileth and the others set off, she immediately realized that after Miss Ileth and the others left, only she and the girl in the black and white dress were left here.

"I also..."

She immediately wanted to say this sentence, but at this time the white fog had swallowed the two who left. So the Countess had to close her mouth, wanting to move away, but afraid that moving too far would affect the relationship between the two sides.

But Grace and Helen didn't care about the witch who was struggling with various things. The Red Butterfly girl watched the nun and Xia De walk toward the knight standing in the center of the bridge deck, and the armored knight, who had been standing motionless, finally reached out and pulled out the long spear inserted into the bridge deck when the two entered the area without white fog around him, and turned to look at them.

The pitch-black long spear faintly had traces of dragon scales. Xia De, who was walking side by side with the nun, suddenly jumped forward, and appeared in front of the knight in the next second.

The pitch-black long spear swept horizontally, and collided with the 【Time Flute】 with a "clang." The huge force generated by the collision left the footprints of Xia De and the knight on the bridge deck, and then Sister Diefulin, who jumped high from behind Xia De, slashed down with the sickle in her hand.

The black light marks even made Xia De feel a fatal threat. The armored knight's body didn't move at all, and a thick black shadow was thrown out from behind him and collided with the sickle.

The brass-colored dragon tail was cut off neatly, and the knight's long spear also melted in the flames attached to the 【Time Flute】.

So the undead knight simply let go of his own weapons, "bang!" collided with Xia De's fist and retreated three steps, and the dragon wings spread out behind him flicked away the fireballs thrown by Sister Diefulin, and then flapped the ignited dragon wings and rushed upward.

It crashed through the upper bridge deck and went to the upper floor of the tower bridge. Xia De immediately turned into a group of red butterflies and chased after him, and the nun also flew upward silently.

The Red Butterfly girl also turned into a group of butterflies emitting red light and chased after them. The Countess, who couldn't fly, was surprised by the change in the battlefield, and immediately saw the group of glowing weird red butterflies fly over.

The butterflies surrounded her, flew her out of the bridge deck, and then flew to the upper floor of the tower bridge from the side.

And when the two saw Xia De again in the fog, Xia De, holding the 【Time Flute】, and Sister Diefulin, holding the sickle, were besieging the armored knight one after another on the bridge deck in the thick fog that was gradually being repelled.

The dragon tail that was cut in half behind him and the ignited wings had been retracted, and he was holding a black dragon-scale long spear in each hand. Even facing two opponents at once, he could block the weapons of Xia De and the nun in the fog.

The clanging sound, the sparks appearing due to the collision, and the rotating firelight and black light made the glowing color of the fog, which had been stirred into a ball, even more obvious.

The "Fate" Great Witch keenly noticed that the abnormal light manipulated by the ghost of the dragon-born knight could confront Xia De's moonlight head-on, and the pure power of death it possessed could even briefly contend with Sister Diefulin's sickle.

"No."

The Red Butterfly girl corrected as if she understood her thoughts:

"That light and pure death are indeed very powerful, but either of them has the ability to end the battle immediately. It looks wonderful now, but it's just that the knight's cold weapon combat level is very high."

As if to verify their statement, in the flickering firelight, the 【Time Flute】 cut off the knight's long spear again, and the powerful rotating slash cut off the knight's head directly without reducing its force.

When the head belonging to the spirit body dissipated silently in the fog on the bridge deck, Sister Diefulin's sickle directly in front of the knight finally cut off the strange gray-white air vortex attached to the knight's left-hand long spear, and then the power of death cut off the knight's entire right arm.

The soul hit by the attack of Sister Diefulin, the "Chosen One of Death," should have withered immediately, but the armored knight's actions seemed completely unaffected.

After losing his right arm and head, the knight's left hand grabbed a long spear from the air again. The long spear almost exploded into diffusing abnormal light instantly, forcing Xia De and Sister Diefulin to retreat together.

The "disabled" knight let himself completely merge into that ball of light, and then the ball of light rose straight into the sky. The ball of light that disturbed the thick fog became larger and larger in this gray-white world, and at the same time, the Moon Bay Bridge, the river water under the bridge, and everything in the city covered by the thick fog began to shake. ===== CHAPTER 2340 =====
