Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 598 Resolution of the Twelve Round Tables: The Sword in the Stone is Unleashed!

clang--!
The metallic vibration like the ringing of a giant bell was grand and low, and the scorching shock wave tore all the treetops within a hundred meters around into pieces and rolled them high into the sky.

The engineering team at the port who were looking at the forest from afar looked back and were horrified to see a fire tornado rising into the sky.

It was the [Lake Light Knight] Lancelot who drew his sword in an instant, and the indestructible holy sword [Eternal Lake Light] firmly blocked Bruch's swift attack.

Feeling the power on the sword that was not inferior to any fifth-level warrior, Lancelot took a closer look at the burly knight possessed by his old enemy Gawain for the first time.

“So he’s a sworn knight who’s contracted to Gawain?

As expected, he is also a stubborn fool like him.

But he has a rank on the Ladder of Glory, bloodline codex, and even his spiritual realm is not weak.

Even in the end of the mythical age we live in, you are considered a hero and can serve as an apprentice knight of the Twelve Knights of the Round Table."

While praising his strength, his tone was very relaxed, as if an accomplished senior casually commenting on an outstanding junior.

With a kind of condescending greasy attitude of "I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice".

Sparks flew where the swords collided.

On the opposite side, Bruch's eyes were like two bright stars, three cracked dragon horns like volcanic rocks grew on his forehead, and the skin under the armor was covered with ruby-like dragon scales.

At this time, he not only completely summoned his contracted heroic spirit [Sun Knight] Gawain to come.

It also summoned the projections of the holy relics held by the heroes in history, forming a pledge outfit that is no less beautiful than ordinary holy relics - [Knight of the Sun]:
【骑士战甲·太阳加护圣壁】金色的战甲像太阳一样璀璨，上午9时至正午的3个小时、下午3时至日落的3个小时，力量会变成原本的3倍。

At noon, between 4 and , the power will be four times the original.

At this time, the time was exactly 9:15 in the morning.

Bruch's strength naturally received a triple bonus.

[Belt·Boshirek]: Greatly increases willpower, completely immune to mental attacks of the same level, and weakens high-level attacks.

As he was promoted to the fourth level, the power of the ceremonial suit was further enhanced, and he could use extreme emotions as fuel to burn the "sun".

In this state, even if you activate idealistic tricks such as "Burn, my little universe," "Memories kill," etc., it is possible to create miracles unreasonably.

[Fairy Horse Greengret]: Possesses infinite stamina and can carry a heavily armored knight to fight for three days and three nights without sleep.

The essence of this horse is a bit like Byron's raven and giant wolf. Now it is able to be promoted along with its master. Its size has expanded a bit, so it can easily carry him in battle for ten days and ten nights.

Apparently, Byron is not the only one who has made continuous progress over the past few years.

At this moment, Bruch's body was surging with hot power like magma, and flames were breathing out from his mouth and nose. Each sword he swung was heavier than the previous one.

The fourth-order [Sun Knight], plus the two bloodline powers of [Night Demon] and [Red Dragon Lizard Warrior] which have also reached the realm of mythical creatures after being strengthened by Byron, the Night Demon King and the father of monsters.

The two merged into a unique mythological form that was unique to each night demon—the three-headed red dragon.

The three heads represent the divinity, animality, and humanity of the body, and the three corresponding power systems.

At the same time, as the [Chariot] in the King's right hand, it received a substantial bonus in its own Golden Law, second only to the King and Queen.

Finally, there is the spiritual realm that has been elevated to [Divine Vision], and the heroic spirit Gawain who has "descended" into his body, integrating the power of the three systems into one, allowing Bruch to burst out with a powerful strength far beyond his own rank.

The current configuration is almost more luxurious than Byron’s at level 4.

Except for the lack of divine arts and magical powers, it is definitely not inferior to those ordinary legends and false gods of the fifth level.

At this moment, Bruch was like a god descending from heaven, and every sword he struck was in line with his motto: "Always support and uphold all decisions made by the king!"

"The traitor Lancelot must die!"

Just like the fateful bond he had with the fairy Rigel, Bruch was able to easily win the heart of his wife thanks to the spiritual connection between him and his wife.

This time, he could already smell the unique scent of his enemy from a distance of hundreds of miles. The anger that was in tune with the heroic spirit Gawain was as hot as the sun.

The spiritual glow on his body also rose sharply.

clang!clang!clang!
The fairy horse, as big as a hill, kept striding forward. Bruch and the horse became one, man borrowing the power of horsepower, and each sword strike was heavier than the previous one.

The dense green forest was blown into huge black holes one after another, and the burnt treetops and wood chips turned into gray-black "snowflakes" and fell from the sky again.

"This sword belongs to Aguguiwen!"

"This sword belongs to Gareth!"

"This sword belongs to Gaheris."

With every strike of the sword a name was called out.

That was the age of mythology. While commemorating their former relatives and companions among the Twelve Knights of the Round Table, they also drew strength from them.

Today we must demand retribution from our common enemy as well as their share.

Lancelot was once a loyal and capable knight of the King of Knights. According to legend, he was raised by the Fairy of the Lake, so he was also called the "Knight of the Lake".

However, it was the "courtly love" between him and Queen Guinevere, which was an unforgivable affair in the eyes of others, that eventually led to the collapse of the Round Table, the death of the King of Knights, and the destruction of Camelot.

And the tragedy of all.

Lancelot not only killed many of the Twelve Knights of the Round Table, but also killed the three brothers of Gawain, the Knight of the Sun, Agriven, Gareth, and Gaheris.

The two once close friends and comrades-in-arms became irreconcilable blood enemies.

Every time he shouted, Lancelot's face became darker and he involuntarily took a step back.

Bruch slashed again with his sword:
"This sword belongs to loyal love!"

The eyes and the Holy Sun Sword emitted an unprecedentedly bright light.

One cannot blame others for success or failure, but there is absolutely no room for compromise in the struggle for ideas.

At the beginning, his wife, the fairy Rigel, was an extremely beautiful fairy half of the day, but an extremely ugly beast the other half.

If she didn't have this curse, she would be a charming "fairy", but with this curse, she can only be called a "monster" that everyone wants to kill.

But even in this situation, neither he nor Gawain at that time despised him. Instead, they gave each other a kiss of true love that represented the right to choose freely, thus lifting the curse.

Don’t have a lover and keep yourself clean.

So they are steadfast, unshakable warriors of pure love, completely different from minotaurs like Lancelot who covet other people's queens and wives.

This is not just a reunion of mortal enemies, but also a life-and-death duel between pure love warriors and minotaurs. The struggle of ideas is more incompatible than hatred!

Driven by the motto: "Always support and uphold all decisions of the king", perhaps only when his master Byron Lancaster becomes a thief will he continue to loyally guard the gate for him?
Lancaster and Lancelot are different.

What the master did was not considered stealing. If that day really came, it would definitely be for the reproduction of the Lancaster family. The total number of 17 queens, including the original body and the incarnation, is still too few.

Damn Lancelot, your majesty has so few queens, and you actually want to steal one?
Unforgivable!

Fortunately, Lancelot didn't know what they were thinking, otherwise he would be furious:

"What a hearty double standard, do you want to hear what you are talking about?"

Boom——!
This time, Lancelot finally changed his initial calmness, gripped the hilt of the sword with both hands and tried to block with all his strength, but was still chopped away by the sword.

Like a cannonball, it smashed a dozen large trees in a row, plowed a deep gully in the ground, and fell from the hillside to the large river below that served as an inland canal for the port in the planned map.

The absolute physical strength was actually lost to Bruch who had stacked up all the buffs.

But apart from the soreness in his arms, Lancelot was not seriously injured.

Furthermore, the moment he touched the river water, all the fatigue and minor injuries on his body were automatically restored, allowing his strength to return to its full peak.

"Damn Guardian Knight!

It is your existence that creates obstacles between me and the beautiful queens. Sooner or later, I will expand my power and kill you all."

His face was gloomy, and his eyes were full of murderous intent towards Bruch who was flying towards him like a blazing meteor.

Hundreds of years ago, the myth of Lancelot, the [Knight of the Lake], arrived in the East Continent with the immigrants. He was resurrected in the special environment of the Corridor of Truth and became a knight and king.

It is also one of the fifty major forces in the northern part of the continent with multiple fifth-level forces.

The situation is similar to that of Mercury, the God of Commerce, both of which were activated by a myth.

Memories, legends, experiences and accumulated knowledge from the collective subconscious of humanity, after being activated, will mostly possess humans and become complete.

But whether human nature or animal nature is dominant in the end usually depends on whose will prevails in the possessed object.

The former uses humanity as the rudder and considers himself as human; the latter uses the deep sea as the rudder, and his underlying tone is madness. He regards humans as food and the major old god churches as enemies that are trying to snatch food from their mouths.

Unfortunately, activated knowledge is much more powerful than ordinary people, and most of the activated knowledge has become the latter, having the same habit of cannibalism as monsters and evil spirits, or continuing some obsession of mythological characters.

For example, Lancelot, for hundreds of years, was steadfast in cuckolding kings of various countries, stealing the hearts of queens, or simply taking away their bodies.

Only a very small number are the former, and they still admit that they are human beings, such as the ancestors of the mermaid kingdom who integrated the myth of Aquaman.

As early as the mythological era, Lancelot, the [Knight of Lake Light], was the strongest of the Twelve Knights of the Round Table except for the Knight King. He also possessed the qualifications of a king, and even his initial equipment was comparable.

The carrier of the myth and legend is the holy relic [Eternal Lake Light] in his hand, which is said to have the same origin as the Sword in the Stone.

They have the same origin, both from the "Sword in the Tree" of Woden, although in the baptism of legends for nearly two thousand years, the Knight's Sword is far behind the King's Sword. But it carries the blessing of [Nimue, the Fairy of the Lake], and as long as it is in a place with water, it can have infinite power and will never be tired or injured.

He looked at Bruch coldly and pronounced his sentence:

“You have offended the wrong person, the knight who has contracted Gawain as his guardian.

Before I seize the beautiful queen who makes my heart beat, let me first send you and Gawain's heroic spirit back to the sea of ​​human collective subconsciousness forever!"

The breathing rhythm changed, and the bull pose was assumed, and the momentum suddenly changed.

[Secret: Martial Arts Refinement]

The complete unity of mind, technique and body, without distinction between the self-spirit, body and technique, is an invincible swordsmanship that surpasses the realm of the Sword Saint [Divine Vision].

New changes also occurred in Bruch, who was running wildly from the opposite side. Suddenly, a second heroic knight with a powerful aura appeared behind him.

That was Gareth, the Beautiful Lord, one of the Twelve Knights of the Round Table.

Behind him were five more knights: a black knight, a green knight, a blue knight, a brown knight, and a red knight, each one twice as powerful as the one before.

The spiritual aura on their bodies merged into one and was bestowed upon Bruch.

This is Bruch's fourth-level ability [Heroic Army].

It is a variation of the knight profession "Dragon Taming", and the objects of taming are the heroic spirits of the twelve specific Knights of the Round Table.

By passing twelve corresponding knight trials, one can gradually master the abilities of all twelve Knights of the Round Table and become the most powerful of all fourth-level professions.

When you take the next step of being promoted to the fifth-order legend, you will be able to break out of the rut of the twelve sworn heroes, become your true self, reshape your own god, and transform it into your own hero.

And extract the various abilities of the twelve Knights of the Round Table and sublimate them into unique [Magic].

According to legend, [Gareth] once accepted a mission from Miss Linnet, defeated the Black Knight, the Green Knight, the Blue Knight, the Brown Knight, and finally the Red Knight, rescued Miss Linnet's sister Lionness, and married her.

His trial was to "be a hero and save the beauty". With the resources and power of the North Sea Empire, it was not difficult for Bruch to complete the task.

It is easy to know what exactly Lancelot was supposed to do in the trial ceremony. The minimum requirement was to steal his colleague's wife, which was despised by others.

Originally, Bruch thought that he would never be able to touch the power of Lancelot, the first knight, in his lifetime.

But now he subconsciously felt that as long as he killed the counterfeit who came out of the myth and was worse than the original, he could definitely replace the trial ceremony and forcibly take away his power!

Lay a solid foundation with unprecedented perfection and step into legend.

boom! boom! boom!
The fairy horse walked on the water without any hesitation, and the river surface seemed to be treading on thick land. It brought the small group of knights behind it with thunder and rushed in front of Lancelot like an iron curtain.

Bruch, the striker, and Gawain, his "grandfather", are clearly no match for Lancelot, the serious First Knight, in terms of skills.

Although he cut off a strand of the opponent's hair in the brief confrontation, he was also stabbed in the ribs and blood was flowing.

But behind him were [Lord Beautiful Palm] and the Five-Colored Knights. Driven by their common resentment and anger, six lances fired at Lancelot with piercing whistles.

[Secret: Martial Arts Refinement] blocked four of the lances, but the other two that were missed hit him right in the chest.

Two muffled thunders exploded, but they failed to penetrate his body, only giving him a blunt blow. His internal organs were injured, but they recovered under the protection of the fairy in the lake.

At the same time, he could use the force to escape from this seemingly difficult and unkillable knight team.

He stomped his feet hard on the river surface, leaving a white mark as he flew over to Violet, who was standing on the other side of the river and watching.

Fighting is not his goal, and there is no point in fighting a group of enemies who have long been lost in history. His only goal is the beauty!
"It doesn't matter if those two loyal fools take advantage of me.

The new Queen of the Channel Islands, I will accept it without hesitation."

Lancelot has an unparalleled affinity with water and can run on this river faster than the wind.

Two hundred meters away, she saw a group of "craftsmen" who were not good at fighting, and Violet who was surrounded by them.

A chiffon dress outlined her perfect figure, her facial features were delicate and flawless, and her temperament was especially cold, exactly like the beloved Guinevere in her memory.

My heart also felt hot.

"They are my favorite iceberg beauties. It is more fulfilling to conquer them.

Besides, beautiful queen, you don't want your husband's country to collapse miserably like the Knight King's Camelot, right? "

At this moment, Violet on the opposite side raised her cold blue eyes slightly and looked at him as if she were looking at a disgusting bug.

"When did you develop the illusion that the queens, or the craftsmen who pursued the 'truth', were not strong in their own right?"

A strong wind blew, and the cubic [Mechanical Fortress] above the head that was hidden by the border maze lock had already been fully deployed.

The grandeur of this moment is revealed instantly.

[First-level Relic: Constructed Turret] no longer has the original forty gun barrels, but has an additional group, reaching a scale of eighty breech-loading rifled cannons.

In other words, Violet's "justice" and "truth" have doubled!
In the past, "money spoke, and truth was silent." But one day, when money stands up and speaks, truth will say:

"Gunner, pull out my turret, two bases, fire!"

boom! boom! boom! boom! boom!
The distance between the two sides was no more than 388 meters, and for the turret with an "error" of nautical miles, there was no possibility of missing the target.

Flames exploded, huge waves surged, and half of the river's water was pushed back and blown away.

White mist rose up in the sky, and then turned into clouds in the sky, which then sprinkled heavy rain down again.

In the team of whale oil mechanics, each [Type 1473 Auxiliary Prosthetic Eye] was fixed on the figure at the center of the artillery fire. No, not just one.

Even a fifth-order pseudo-god whose soul and body are fused into one cannot directly resist a barrage of shrapnel of this magnitude.

Lancelot's face changed drastically, and he used his superb swordsmanship to chop off a dozen shells from the side without triggering the fuse. After they exploded behind him, their speed could no longer keep up with the justice that fell from the sky.

But Lancelots with different appearances but similar temperaments kept emerging from his body and were blown to pieces by the shells in his place.

His real body hid in the shadows of these "Lancelots", constantly moving away from the constructed turret and the center of the explosion.

Divine Art [Reflections of the Lake]!
Several old Lancaster Party officials in the team had their eyes flickering:

"It seems like the case has been solved."

"Indeed, no wonder the knights who contracted Lancelot in the kingdom always died inexplicably. I just seemed to have seen Swift Steven, the last knight who contracted Lancelot."

Since the records of the Kingdom of Hastings began, the Oathed Heroic Spirits summoned by the Guardian Knights, who were mainly [Oathed Knights], rarely included the most powerful [Lake Light Knight] Lancelot.

Moreover, even if the unlucky souls who made a contract with the heroic spirit of Lancelot [Knight of Lake Light] appeared because of their extremely high compatibility, most of them would not live long.

The ancestors of the Lancaster family dared to swear that, for well-known reasons, they sent people to secretly kill only a small number of the sworn knights.

The others died suddenly.

Now the case has finally been solved.

Lancelot is not only a minotaur, but also a monarch who believes that all minotaurs except me must die.

All the Oathknights who are compatible with him and have the potential to emulate him will be devoured by him and become part of his own power.

[Lake Reflections] can not only perfectly transform into the appearance of any knight he devoured to tease queens and wives of different preferences, but also allow the main body to hide in the shadows of these "reflections" and be immune to any damage.

With the reflection he had worked so hard to accumulate suffering heavy losses, he continued to flee along the river mouth, with artillery fire chasing him all the time, killing him one life after another.

I don’t know how long it took, but the sea outlet was finally in sight.

With the ability of this [Lake Light Knight], as long as he dives into the deep sea and uses the sea water as a shield, no matter how powerful the artillery shells are, they will not be able to hurt him.

But when he switched his body, activated his power and prepared to rush into the seabed in an instant.

A huge monster that had been lying in ambush here for who knows how long suddenly jumped up, and a flaming dagger in its hand instantly swept across his body.

Even though Lancelot had superb swordsmanship, he dodged immediately and his right arm holding [Eternal Lake Light] soared into the sky along with the flaming sword.

It was not until this time that the Empire's fighters, who were rushing from all directions of Yuanwang Port, heard the roar of the volcanic eruption. That was the sound of the authentic [Core of the Furnace] erupting in full force.

Whoosh-!
Then the flying holy sword was caught in the hands of Byron, who stepped out of the Rainbow Bridge riding an eight-legged Pegasus.

Before he could take a closer look at this holy sword [Eternal Lake Light] that had been passed down from the mythological era and had the same origin as his own [Sword in the Stone].

The sword unexpectedly collapsed the moment it fell into his hands.

Some of the qualities flowed through Byron's body and into the Sword in the Stone, which had been lying at the bottom of the River Styx, inserted into a huge square stone and remained sealed.

Click!

The stone that couldn't be pulled out or even destroyed actually broke apart on its own.

The Sword in the Stone, which had been silent for over a thousand years, emitted for the first time a clear and joyful sword sound, and immediately rushed out of the River Styx with a bright spiritual light.

“Unblocked?!”

The unexpected surprise came too suddenly.

Byron was stunned, then he saw the power of this level 0 holy relic, and finally realized it:
"Unique ability: The decision of the Twelve Round Tables? I see!"
