Lu Mingfei, become the King of Elden!

Chapter 209 All Glory Belongs to You
Lu Mingfei placed his hand on Ratahn's body, completely plundering all his power, including that most important thing that represented the Golden Law.

[Ratalun's Great Rune]

[The Great Rune of "Fragment King" Ratalun. Through the effects of his Blessing, it can increase the maximum health, focus, and stamina.]

Rataen is one of the children of Renara and Radagan. After Radagan became Queen Marika's consort, the children became relatives of the king and demigods.

This great rune is burning fiercely—
This is to combat the corrosive effects of crimson corruption.

Lu Mingfei slowly absorbed the scorching, immensely powerful rune into his body.

Feeling the immense energy within, he could only sigh in admiration.

This was perhaps the most difficult and brutal battle he had experienced since he set foot in the border region.

Several heroic warriors, armed with superior weaponry, powerful equipment, and nearly full of supplies and tools, fought bravely and relentlessly, finally driving the strongest demigod to the brink of defeat.

Ultimately, it was his own explosive power, pushing himself to the limit, that triggered the one-on-one duel, and he narrowly won the victory at the last minute.

But what about Ratahn?
He had long since lost his mind, and had been suffering endless erosion and weakening from the crimson decay for years, his injuries were beyond repair.

Even when Lu Mingfei killed him, he was still afflicted with various negative statuses such as cursed blood, frostbite, burns, and crimson corruption. In the end, he almost unleashed a meteor shower that would destroy everyone.

I'm still a long way from having that level of skill.

He sighed inwardly.

With the addition of the Great Rune obtained from the raid on Rataen, Lu Ming has now officially entered the "Hero" level under abnormal circumstances. Of course, this does not include the boosts from Bloodlust, Great Rune, and so on.

After all, rune curves aren't exactly common items.
Lu Mingfei casually lit the blessing on the sand dune, completely relaxing. He lay back on the still warm sand, letting the warm golden light fall on his body, slowly healing his torn flesh and burning soul.

The black dragon scales on his skin began to fall off piece by piece, and the hideous bone spurs and inhuman joint features gradually faded away, finally revealing his original appearance. He was still the same handsome young man, but his brows were full of fatigue.

He was so tired that he didn't want to move a single finger.

A series of sparse but heavy footsteps came from afar, accompanied by the dull thud of metal hitting the sand.

Terragus placed the enormous hammer aside and solemnly planted the two heavy, lost-home knight greatswords in the sand beside Lu Mingfei.

"Your sword."

His voice was low and hoarse, and even someone as resolute as him showed signs of exhaustion after such a momentous battle.

"Thank you."

Lu Mingfei said softly, almost unconsciously.

"You're welcome what?"

Teragos smiled nonchalantly, raised his hand and removed his iconic goat helmet, revealing a weathered and resolute face.

"If it weren't for you, we would all be trapped in this sea of ​​sand forever today. But, to have such a battle as the final resting place of warriors isn't all that bad..."

He paused, then turned to Lu Mingfei, winking humorously:

"However, being able to go back alive, continue to hone oneself, and embrace new challenges is better than rotting in this sand, isn't it?"

"Well said."

On the other side, Ryan shuffled over and gently set down Jellian, whom he had been carrying on his back. Behind him stood the silent old man. He said:
"Kid, well done. This is one of the most exciting battles I've ever fought."

At that moment, Jeremy, who had been carefully placed on the sand, raised his hand.

He was severely injured, both legs were broken, and he had taken off his mask, revealing a face that showed relief and exhaustion.

He gestured for Ryannil to help him sit up straight, and then the lord of Red Lion City struggled to bow his head to Lu Mingfei.

"Thank you, young man."

His voice was somewhat weak.

"Thank you...and thank you to all the warriors here for answering the call of this festival. Thank you for defeating Lord Rataen, ending his suffering, and reclaiming for him the glory that had long been tainted by the crimson corruption."

He took a deep breath and continued:
"Red Lion City, and indeed all of Galid, will remember your kindness. You have fulfilled a long-cherished wish that we could not achieve even with all our efforts."

This land will never forget this achievement.

After resting for a while before the blessing, everyone departed. They would return to Red Lion City, where better healers awaited them.

Their weapons also need repair, and Jellian promised that Red Lion City would do everything in its power to cover any losses incurred during the festival.

Lu Mingfei, on the other hand, stayed behind.

On one hand, his injuries were too severe, and it might be better for him to recover for a while under the blessing. He was even considering whether to commit suicide by saving his game to rewind to his previous state.

On the other hand, he needed to find that good-natured warrior, Iron Fist "Alexander." This guy had been blasted away by a powerful gravitational wave in the recent battle and his whereabouts were still unknown.

After a long while, Lu Mingfei's injuries gradually healed and no longer affected his movements. He tentatively stood up and pulled the Lost Knight's Greatsword from the ground.

He looked at the cracks and nicks on the sword and shook his head helplessly.
"I'm going to get a lecture from Grandpa Xiu Gu again."

In fact, this mixed-race old man wouldn't really say anything. He knew very well that Lu Mingfei risked his life in every battle he fought outside.

His eyes showed deep concern for Lu Mingfei.

"However, it really needs to be strengthened."

He muttered to himself, sheathed the two greatswords, and turned to leave, only to find a travel-worn figure approaching late in the distance.

It's "Half-Wolf" Blazer.

"What a great fight."

Upon seeing him, Blazer exclaimed in admiration:
"The honor of this festival belongs absolutely to Rataen, and to you."

He excitedly pointed to the sky and said to Lu Mingfei:
"Haha! And did you see that? A star actually fell right in front of us! I never expected that!"
Rataen sealed away something incredible; he is truly a mythical hero.

Next, I must immediately head to the place where the star fell. Perhaps we'll meet again someday.

With that, Blazer left in a hurry, leaving Lu Mingfei standing there, looking completely bewildered.

He scratched his head, silently making a mental note of it, then summoned Toret, mounted his spirit horse, and began galloping across the desert.

Finding Alexander did not take him much effort.
