Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 148 The Azik Empire is in the Taiman Islands
Woo!
A wailing sound was then heard from the sky above the pyramid.

The [Golden Code], which was shining brightly and as brilliant as a little sun, was extinguished in an instant.

As Beatrice fell to the ground with a thump, Byron quickly caught her in his hands.

The solid anchor chain that was about to be built with the Conqueror Cortes in the code, and even the name that was about to be successfully imprinted on the title page, all disappeared without a trace.

The crown of light on Cortes' head, which was about to take shape, naturally collapsed into nothingness.

A series of domino-like chain collapses came so suddenly and unexpectedly.

This was originally the secret ritual that the chief priest Beatrice built for Cortes by secretly opening a back door with the help of the resources of the Azk Empire.

Just to be able to seize this golden "wedding dress" that the Azik people had worked so hard to weave.

As the main priest, Beatrice acts as the ritual medium for communication between heaven and earth.

At this time, Byron seized the opportunity and stabbed the medium in the back at the most critical moment of the ceremony, and the coronation ceremony naturally failed.

It is easy to do bad things, but difficult to accomplish good things.

For Beatrice and Cortes, who had been planning carefully for many years.

Once this opportunity is missed, when most of the residents of this royal city fall ill and die, the effectiveness of the [Golden Code] will be greatly reduced without the support of the "people".

Even though it is still an extremely powerful first-level holy relic.

But without all the necessary elements to become a king, it would be a long time before the Conqueror Cortes could gain the title of king.

Even if one day in the future one can achieve success, without the current favorable time and place, one may not have the potential to break through the restrictions of the [Silver Law].

"Do not--!"

Cortes' smile suddenly froze on his face, and he wanted to reach out and grab the crown that was about to disappear.

But it was like trying to catch the moon in the water, and nothing was found.

What was taken away was not only the crown, but also the glorious future that he had stolen from Emperor Azik at the cost of his entire fortune and women.

This ambitious and conspirator who was so close to victory finally experienced the pain of Montezuma II's recent joy that turned into sorrow.

Looking at Beatrice who was stabbed on the ground, she suddenly opened her plump and rosy lips, which were wider than her shoulders like a snake.

Then, another naked beautiful woman crawled out from the original human skin, as soft and boneless as a snake.

While drilling, she was still shouting:
"Alvin, you traitorous stray dog, I will kill you"

Before Beatrice could finish her harsh words, she was horrified to find that the sword wound that should have disappeared after shedding her skin was still on her chest.

His already ugly face turned pale in an instant.

"No way, this is absolutely impossible."

Open your mouth again, shed again, open it again, shed again.

Soon, dozens of beautiful human skins, like snake shed skins and covered with transparent mucus, were scattered all over the ground.

It can be clearly seen that these vibrant skins all come from stunning beauties. Even without the support of flesh and bones, their features are still picturesque and their beauty cannot be concealed.

Among them was the skinned Princess Quyatli of Chichen Itza.

Byron held the bloody sword in his hand and watched Beatrice's expression change from disbelief to rage, and then from rage to disbelief.

After obtaining Alvin's memory, he of course knew that this was the black witchcraft [Shedding Skin and Substitution] recorded in the forbidden book "The Ritual of a Thousand Faces".

It can transfer the damage on its body to the living human skin it is wearing by shedding its skin like a snake.

The ability to save life is extremely strong.

Unfortunately, under the real damage brought by [Heart Trouble], her "shedding skin and dying in place of others" did not have the desired effect.

The sword wound that pierced through her heart hit her "vital point" and remained on her chest.

She was almost bleeding to death.

Moreover, due to the continuous use of extremely high-level black magic in a short period of time, this venomous snake beauty completely exhausted her spiritual power.

"Falcon, you.you."

Until he took his last breath, his blood-red snake eyes, filled with confusion, anger, and fear, were still staring at his loyal dog "Alvin".

Woof woof woof.
Then a loud, dark dog bark sounded from the shadow at Byron's feet.

Beatrice's soul was instantly pulled into his shadow.

This time he did not use the three [Wild Hunt Servants] quota like he did when he subdued Alvin before.

Preserve Beatrice's consciousness and turn this third-level dark wizard into a versatile slave girl who will not refuse any of his excessive requests.

[Wild Hunt Legion Ability 2: You can choose whether to retain the self-awareness of the Undead Servant and transform into a monstrosity called a Wild Hunt Servant.

They will become an extension of your eyes, ears, will and supernatural abilities, able to move freely, possess living people, exert abilities, and even become indistinguishable from ordinary people.

When possessing the original body, it can fully exert its past power, and even burn itself and explode to the extreme.

The current upper limit is three people. 】

Even that boneless gesture just now had already struck a chord with his aesthetic sense.

After confirming that Beatrice's history had completely ended, Byron casually shook off the blood on the blade, and his heartstrings finally relaxed:
"[The Changeable Enchanter] Beatrice is a natural disguiser. Without her, no matter how powerful Cortes is, he would not be able to complete such a large and sophisticated plan.

However, just spying on Catherine is a way to get killed. No matter how useful it is, it is an unforgivable crime and must be put to death!

If you just change your form of existence but still retain your consciousness, what is the difference between that and not dying?"

Beatrice never imagined that her life or death would be determined by those few words:

"Once this battle is over, I will come back and kill the famous Countess [Flower of the North] Catherine."

Byron had no interest in saying a few more words to clear up the confusion of his enemy, so she died in confusion.

Having finally eliminated the source of danger that was threatening all the beauties in the world at this moment, Byron felt relaxed physically and mentally, and even the spirituality in his body became more lively.

"Ah! You actually killed Beatrice?!"

At this time, the furious [Conqueror] Cortes had drawn the swift sword at his waist and rushed towards Byron like a mad bull.

"Put down my Golden Codex!"

Byron once again solemnly corrected him:

"No, it's my Golden Code!"

At the same time, large blue flames burst out from his body again.

The twelve second-level [Undead Servants] that he had just collected appeared one by one behind him, and rushed into the pale blue flames like moths to a flame.

Act as spiritual fuel to make this flame burn brighter and brighter.

As a huge ten-meter-high column of fire exploded.

"Da!" A pitch-black horse hoof as big as a bowl stepped out into flames.

Next came the horse legs covered with bone armor, and a ferocious horse head with sharp teeth, thorny horns, and pale blue eyes.

Its body was like a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, and the terrifying aura that made people's backs chill was overwhelming.

No, there really were mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

The countless souls who had perished along with the Hastings Strait Fleet were wailing and wailing behind it.

On horseback was a tall knight wearing a black full-body armor and a blood-red cloak, with two balls of blue flames lighting up in the gaps of his helmet visor.

With his legs squeezing the horse's belly, the ghost horse rushed forward like an iron chariot.

Byron wielded the thick black lance in his hand with [Storm Sword Skill], making it look like a piece of cake, no more strenuous than wielding a straw.

The blue flames on it burst out, and it showed no sign of weakness, attacking the veteran third-level knight Cortes.

Boom——!
There was a loud noise.

The powerful force of the unity of man and horse actually blasted this powerful extraordinary being, who had lost his composure in shock and anger, down from the top of the pyramid.

It fell heavily into the blood river surrounding the pyramid.

In extraordinary battles, quantity can always win the battle.

Under normal circumstances, the [Wild Hunt Legion] uses ten second-level ones as sacrifices, which are burned up within three minutes, and the power that bursts out is already above the ordinary third-level ones.

Not to mention that Byron burned twelve in one breath, with the help of a ghost warhorse under his crotch, which made his explosive power even stronger for three-pointers.

Da da da.
Byron put the [Golden Codex] on his waist and pulled the reins. The ghost horse immediately rushed down the steep slope of the pyramid as if flying over eaves and walls.

He wasn't planning on killing only Beatrice today.

Cutting down the weeds without eradicating the roots, they will grow again when the spring breeze blows!
Byron never forgot that the conqueror was not only a rear admiral of Castile, but his wife's brother-in-law was also a powerful governor of the local area.

Since they have already formed an irreconcilable feud, not only with Cortes, Byron also plans to go to the Flaying Church one day.

Anyway, he still has Beatrice's memories and even a complete version of the [Bloodline Codex] that may lead directly to the divine realm, so he has no worries about finding her.

"Of course, there is one most important reason."

The entry "Why did you carve your name on my pipe?" is displayed in the logbook, with the following effect:

"Why do you say this is your pipe?

My name is engraved on it!
Huh? Why do you want to carve your name on my pipe? Pay me!

It is somewhat similar to Cortes's pioneering order, but they each have their own strengths.

As long as you say this to the owner of the item openly, you can then forcibly take the item away and possess it permanently.

Then not only will you acquire it physically, but you will also inherit the mystical ownership.”

In other words, if Byron completely took away the [Golden Codex], he would not only get a holy relic, but also the legal coronation rights of Montezuma II and Cortes!

Even if he cannot establish the title of king in a short period of time, he is at least the legitimate crown prince and successor of the Azik civilization.

From then on, Byron could say: "The orthodox Azik Empire is in the Taiman Islands."

This ability is most applicable not to ordinary gold and silver treasures, but to various deeds, contracts, bank deposits, and imperial edicts with names written on them.
These things that ordinary pirates regarded as waste paper were all treasures to him!
From now on, Byron will have a close connection with all kinds of treasures in the world. Even if they did not have this connection in the past, they will have it if he forces himself a few times in the future.

This is the worst kind of bullying.
