Type-Moon, joins the Lion King at the beginning

Chapter 8: Battle of the Spirit Temple
The coldness that lingered around the mausoleum was very familiar to Li Ye, and it often appeared when he used the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.

【die】

'You've come to the right place!'

Li Ye raised his hand to let Feilong retreat, and went to the spirit temple alone.

The green flying dragon, which was already afraid of approaching the sacred temple, acted as if it had been pardoned and decisively hid on the opposite hill.

Li Ye had already arrived in front of the Azrael Temple and stepped into the temple.

An even more violent [Death] overwhelmed Li Ye, it was like a double death of body and spirit!

thump--

Li Ye, sweating profusely, half-knelt on the ground, subconsciously covering his chest, his expression unable to hide his astonishment.

At that moment he seemed really dead!

call--

A gust of cold wind blew by, and Li Ye, who was half-kneeling on the ground, suddenly got goose bumps all over his body.

"what?"

Although he didn't hear any footsteps, Li Ye was sure that something was coming out of the temple.

Looking at him!
After becoming aware of the sight and the existence that had not yet appeared, Li Ye quickly stood up and stepped back.

"How come I can't even notice who's coming——" Li Ye couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Ten dark figures were seen floating out from the depths of the sacred temple. A layer of dark, crystal-clear liquid was flowing on the unusually large human-shaped skeletons, like ghosts!
"Is this a test--" Li Ye wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his eyes fixed firmly on the ghost in the center. The aura emitted by that ghost was so strong that he could not ignore it.

The fluctuation of magic power even exceeds that of Quiet Hassan!
Faced with such an opponent, Li Ye drew his sword decisively, but after a slight hesitation he did not open his Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.

Li Ye couldn't guarantee whether he would see unusual deaths in this special temple.

Without much conversation, the ten ghosts rushed towards Li Ye together, and the big ghost in the lead even let out a sharp explosion.

"!"

The sharp explosion almost tore Li Ye's cochlea, causing Li Ye's movements to pause.

It was precisely because of his pause that the ten ghosts, who were eyeing him hungrily, were already approaching!
In an instant, blood splattered!
Li Ye managed to fly backwards with his sword!

The ten ghosts grasped the timing perfectly, and every attack made it difficult for Li Ye to resist!
Li Ye was forced to fight back and kept retreating, even leaving the range of the sacred temple, but the ten ghosts were chasing him relentlessly, not giving Li Ye any chance to breathe!

'There are too many!'

Li Ye realized this. The ghosts, who were powerful in themselves, had an absolute advantage in numbers. Coupled with their tacit cooperation, he was no match at all!
These ghosts cooperated well with each other and did not give him any chance to attack. Even if he used the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, he could not quickly eliminate one ghost to reduce the number of people, unless he annihilated all the ghosts in one go!

Thinking of this, Li Ye's pupils shrank, and he immediately recalled the scene he saw not long ago -

The brilliant light released by the Lion King!
It's not the release of a Noble Phantasm, just the release of magic power can cause horrific damage!
Li Ye quickly thought about the possibility of releasing magic power, gathered half of the magic power in his body on the sword edge, and released it in one breath!

'feasible! '

This strike will decide the outcome!
At the moment when Li Ye began to gather magic power, the leading ghost noticed this action and actually imitated Li Ye's action and began to gather magic power and release it!
Li Ye, who possesses the heart of a dragon, has a much higher efficiency in operating his magic power than ordinary people, not to mention that ghosts are slower than him in gathering magic power!
When the claws of those ghosts were about to touch Li Ye——

"It's too late!"

boom!
The surging red torrent roared past, like thunder from the sky falling to the earth. The heat, enough to melt gold and iron, instantly engulfed all the ghosts, causing them to completely evaporate!

After the flood, there was a charred black scene in front of Li Ye, and melted rocks were flowing slowly.

Li Ye felt exhausted and collapsed to the ground with a thud.

The long sword in his hand also evaporated as the magic power was released. "Oh my god - this is too tiring."

Li Ye was breathing heavily. Just releasing magic power that imitated the battle between the Lion King and the Sun King had brought him such a heavy burden.

There is less than one third of the magic power left. According to the recovery speed of Dragon Heart, it will take another two hours to replenish it.

Before that—

Li Ye gritted his teeth and climbed up, straightening his back tremblingly and walking towards the Azrael Temple.

clang--

A bell rang faintly, echoing in the empty valley.

When Li Ye heard the bell ringing, his dragon blood instantly boiled, and with his magic power fully activated, he opened his Mystic Eyes of Death Perception!
"Is that - death?" Li Ye stared at the temple in front of him. There were so many dead lines that merged into one, outlining a human figure.

Just looking at that figure made Li Ye's brain boil!
"You who have experienced death and are reborn, carrying the karma of the mountain on your back, your voice has been heard, and your desire to save the future of mankind has been recognized by my sword.

however--

Anyone who dares to enter my temple must face death first!"

"As a dead person, I am trying to seize the right to live. Only through this ritual can I forgive the demon that caused me to appear!"

As a deep voice sounded, violent fluctuations of magical power spread from the spirit temple!
Faced with this scene, Li Ye wiped the tip of his nose casually, and scarlet blood spread across his fingers.

It was the overload brought by looking death in the face!
"Less than half a minute of staring can have such an effect, the first generation of the old man in the mountains is really——"

Li Ye did not have time to sigh, as a huge, looming shadow crawled out of the temple, and the magic power it exuded was enough to shake the atmosphere!
Although its appearance was the same as the ghost Li Ye had seen before, it was smaller in size, and the magical fluctuations it emitted were completely on a different level!
"war!"

Facing such an enemy, Li Ye was full of fighting spirit. His demon eyes turned into vertical pupils that shone like gems, and he saw the death of the ghost!
One on one, Li Ye is confident that he has a chance of winning!
"The remaining magic power is not enough to sustain a long-term battle, one strike will determine the outcome!"

boom!
With a flash of red lightning, Li Ye's figure disappeared from the spot.

Putting all the magic power into this attack, it is as fast as a bolt of lightning!
puff-

Li Ye, who was supposed to have empty hands, was seen holding a dagger and piercing through the death line on the shadow's body!
It was actually the dagger from Cursed-Arm Hassan!

As the shadows faded, the deep voice sounded again.

"The devil's eyes that can look directly at death, those who come into contact with death must be dead - welcome to my temple, I am the old man in the mountain - Hassan-Sabah!"

It was no longer the blurry figure made up of death that Li Ye saw. The old man in the mountain truly appeared in front of him.

The two-meter-tall burly figure was wearing armor and standing with a sword in his hand. It seemed as if there was nothing under the bone mask.

"It's the first time we meet, what's your name?" Li Ye pretended to be relaxed, cold sweat dripping down his forehead.

The appearance of the old man in the mountain put him under even greater pressure.

"I have no name or surname, just call me whatever you want." The faint soul fire in the white bone mask of the old man in the mountains moved without wind.

"You are loyal to the Lion King who has fallen into deity, but you have two hearts. What do you want, unfaithful knight?"

"Your Excellency Wang Hassan, I want to learn assassination techniques and [Death] from you—" Li Ye's heart was beating wildly. He knew that this was too aggressive, but since it had come to this, he might as well go all in!

"What a greedy person! He was born after experiencing death, but instead of appreciating the beauty of life, he throws himself into the arms of death."

Li Ye actually heard a hint of ridicule in Wang Hassan's low tone.

"The end of the world is approaching. The future described by the pure white king, the Lion King, is not the salvation I seek. The future of mankind should not stop here—"

In Li Ye's view, the continuation of human history is related to his survival.
