"What is this?" Among the shattered fragments of the mage statue, Sham saw something that was not an ordinary stone.
Lu Ming glanced at the object and discovered that it was a fragment of a very special weapon.
The blade and patterns on it are very clear, suggesting it's an enhanced version of the Blue Flame Sword. However, it's broken, and there's only one piece inside this statue.
"Looks like our harvest will be quite good this time!" After storing the weapon fragments in his phone, Lu Ming discovered that they could be repaired using the system in his hand, and said to Sham and the others with a smile.
"Fragment of the Azure Demon Straight Sword: Fragment of a legendary magic sword from the Aifa Empire."
"This magic sword can be repaired using the four fragments and a blue flame." (To be continued.)
Chapter 10 - Dungeon [Undead Temple] Part 2
"Those ghosts hiding in the walls are so annoying!" Philna complained angrily after being accidentally cut on the leg by a ghost hiding in the wall with a longsword. He didn't want to go back to the second campfire and had to drink a bottle of elemental vials to prevent excessive bleeding.
"Just be careful... Okay, okay! It's those ghosts that are annoying, alright?" Lu Ming wanted to complain, but seeing Philna and Sham staring at him as if they wanted to eat him up, he quickly changed his words.
Like Philna, Sham was also accidentally attacked by a ghost hiding in the wall while fighting an undead intruder whom Lu Ming and Benjamin called a 'Red Spirit', so she could understand Philna's feelings very well.
Lu Ming, who was walking ahead, glanced back at Philna. He didn't dislike the girl with the long, snow-white hair. It was just that some of her actions disgusted him.
Compared to Yusaha back then, Philna was even worse. At least Yusaha hadn't betrayed him. But Philna's words yesterday, whether intentional or not, left Lu Ming feeling deeply disheartened.
From the seven-day civil war to the subsequent hunt, he was constantly gossiped about behind his back, yet he couldn't offer any rebuttal. All for Philner's sake, all he received in return was cold indifference.
Philna might not know what wearing a crest meant, but Lu Ming did. Her actions were truly excessive to him. After all, Saldallo had never given her the crest until his death.
After leaving the second campfire, Lu Ming and his group walked for about ten minutes before arriving at a very spacious hall. In the distance, they could see two dragon riders standing before a white mist gate. In front of them stood several knights who appeared to be from Dorangreg.
"Sham, Philner, you two make sure the bells in the room beneath our feet aren't rung by the wandering spirits. Benjamin and I will go and take down those statues first!" Lu Ming, holding a sword in one hand and the Aries Staff in the other, commanded Sham and Philner.
"Understood." Sham, wielding Priscilla's short sword, and Philner, wielding Hyde's longsword, immediately leaped down the stairs leading into the hall from either side. After killing the wandering spirits hiding in a secret room behind the stairs, they stood guard there to prevent any more wandering spirits from ringing the bell in the secret room and summoning a large number of ghost mages.
Step by step, Lu Ming and Benjamin slowly entered the hall and began to use the Irithyll Straight Sword and the Silver Knight Lance to destroy the numerous mage statues placed on both sides of the hall.
On his way here, Lu Ming had already completed the dungeon quest. He had also gathered all the fragments of the Azure Demon Straight Sword, and now he only needed to clear the dungeon to repair this magical sword from the world of Puru.
Lu Ming was puzzled as to why this sword had appeared in this world.
Could it be that the elves of Puru, like the nobles of Miracaissa, are also negotiating with people from another world?
When Lu Ming and Benjamin destroyed nearly half of the magician statues, both dragon riders turned to look at them, startling them.
“I don’t know who you are, but our king is deep in thought here. If you don’t want to die at our hands, leave this place!” one of the two dragoons suddenly said to Lu Ming and Benjamin, who were still standing there.
“These are King Vandrak’s dragoons. They’re small, but they’re not easy to deal with,” Lu Ming said cautiously as he met up with Benjamin.
"understood."
Seeing that Lu Ming and Benjamin did not choose to leave the hall, the two dragon riders immediately ordered the several Dorangreg knights: "Kill them!"
Immediately, the knights of Dorangreg drew their lances and raised their shields, charging towards Lu Ming and his companions.
"Did they not attack us because of their arrogance?" Looking at the two dragon riders who did not join the knights in attacking because of their arrogance, Lu Ming curled his lips into a smile.
The next moment, he and Silver Knight Benjamin began their battle against the knights of Dorangreg.
Meanwhile, in the dark room, Philna and Sham had already killed more than a dozen fearless wandering spirits.
Slightly out of breath, Philner, who was neither a swordsman nor even a fighter, asked Sham during a lull in the wandering spirits' relentless charge, "How many times have you participated in something like this?"
“This is the second time. The first time, we went to Lu Ming’s hometown, Irithyll of the Boreal Valley. The monsters there are much stronger than those here!” Standing next to the statue, Sham said without hesitation.
"So do you think we can go back?"
"Of course we can go back."
"I see..."
“…” After glancing silently at the somewhat puzzled Philna, Sham couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong?”
"I'm just thinking about what I should do when I get back."
"What do you mean?"
"It's nothing... those wandering spirits are here again!"
Just as Sham and Philner began killing the wandering spirits once again, Lu Ming and Benjamin were also putting pressure on the knights of Dorangreg.
Relying on his high-speed movement and the speed and attack power of the Farron Quicksword, Lu Ming was able to kill a Dolangreg knight in about five attacks.
Benjamin himself is a Silver Knight, and his skills were honed during Gwyn's dragon hunt, so dealing with a few knights from later eras is incredibly easy for him!
"You are very capable, but not enough to meet His Majesty!"
When the last Dorangreg Knight was killed by Lu Ming and Benjamin together, the two dragon riders could no longer sit still. They picked up their halberds and charged towards Lu Ming and Benjamin.
Seeing this, Lu Ming made a decisive move and immediately used high-speed movement to destroy the remaining mage statues, temporarily handing the two dragon riders over to Benjamin.
Using the powerful martial arts skills he had honed to fight dragons, Benjamin fought against two dragon riders with difficulty, but he did not fall into a disadvantageous position.
After consuming nearly two hundred magic points, Lu Ming destroyed all the mage statues in the hall.
"Sham! Philna! Come help me!!" Lu Ming shouted to Sham and Philna, then used a Dark Pulse to draw the attention of one of the two dragon riders to his side.
The dragon riders hit by the evil wave did not fall into fear; instead, they only suffered minor damage.
It charged at Lu Ming, aiming its powerful halberd at Lu Ming's neck, intending to kill him instantly.
But at that moment, Lu Ming used the Aries Staff to block the dragon rider's attack, thus avoiding death by the halberd.
However, the dragon riders' strength was simply too great, and this attack also caused Lu Ming great damage. At least his arm was almost fractured, and his tiger's mouth was split open.
Gritting his teeth and enduring the excruciating pain, Lu Ming used his Freezing Ray on the Dragon Rider, freezing his helmet and right arm holding the halberd into a thick layer of ice. He then quickly broke free, drank a bottle of alchemical potion prepared by the (Hunter) organization, and slightly treated his wounds.
"Deep Blue Strike!!" At that moment, Sham and Philna, having heard Lu Ming's shout, promptly broke free from their trance. Whether by chance or not, as Sham emerged, she saw the dragon rider, whose armor had been partially frozen by Lu Ming, hurling his shield at him with his other hand. Immediately, she unleashed a sword slash, sending the dragon rider flying.
"Thanks, honey!"
"Why are you saying this in this place?!"
With a chuckle, Lu Ming teased Sham, then charged towards the dragon rider who had been sent flying by Deep Blue's attack and crashed heavily into the wall, amidst Sham's blushing roar.
Unfortunately, at that moment, both dragoons took a deep breath at the same time, and a piercing metallic sound erupted!
"ear!!"
"My ears!!"
"what!!"
Immediately, Sham and the others covered their ears in great pain, and were temporarily unable to attack.
"Damn it!! Evil Pulse!!" Lu Ming, who was also in pain from the metallic sound, covered his ears and spat out a malicious wave of energy, forcibly knocking one of the two dragon riders out of the ability to make a metallic sound.
But the next moment, both dragon riders suddenly swallowed all the light around them, forming two silver-white cannonballs in their mouths!
"A grating cannon?" Upon seeing the two dragon riders devour the light, Lu Ming immediately turned around and shouted to Sham, "Sham! Prepare to block one with your sword aura!"
"Understood!" Knowing the power of the grating cannon, Sham, who was tormented by the metallic sound, immediately added a large amount of qi to his weapon, preparing a sword qi slash that would be enough to offset the grating cannon of the dragon rider.
Lu Ming began chanting a spell, and a phantom of a woman in a black robe gradually appeared beside him, slowly raising the Aries Staff and the Behemoth Staff together.
"Raster cannon!!" "Raster cannon!!"
The two dragoons let out two roars, and then two cannonballs tore through their helmets and shot towards Lu Ming and Sham.
"Deep Blue Strike!!" "Crystal Soul Gun!!"
Just as the grating cannon was firing at Lu Ming and the others, Sham and Lu Ming also launched their own attacks.
A deep blue sword aura slashed with frost, and two incomparably powerful crystal soul spears!
Knowing things were going badly, Philner and Benjamin quickly hid behind the pillar with the mage statue after Lu Ming and the dragon riders launched their respective attacks.
Then, the attacks from both sides collided!
The powerful energies intertwined and eventually erupted into a powerful shockwave, filling the entire area with intense light!
Because of the shockwave, Lu Ming and Sham both took cover behind a pillar. But at that moment, they heard Agardran's voice coming from within the bright light.
"I told you! No light sources allowed!!"
"Sorry, but I think the one who caused this bright light wasn't us." Upon hearing Agardran's furious roar, Lu Ming couldn't help but respond with a smile.
At this moment, the bright light gradually faded, and the two dragon riders reappeared before everyone's eyes.
At this moment, however, their armor was tattered and torn by the shockwave. One of the dragon riders had his left shoulder and half of his head shattered by one of Lu Ming's two Crystal Soul Spears.
Even so, that dragoon is still alive and well!!
Argdran, carrying a greatsword, walked in from the entrance of the hall, coldly staring at the two dragon riders. He walked step by step toward Lu Ming, clearly intending to stand on Lu Ming's side.
"Gravekeepers? We are King Vandrak's guards. If you don't want to die, get out of here now!" Facing the five men, the dragon rider showed no fear and instead threatened them arrogantly.
"You can tolerate this?" Holding the Irithyll Straight Sword, Lu Ming stepped out from under the pillar's protection, glanced at Agrdran, and asked with a smile.
"No."
"Then how do we do it?"
"Kill them!"
After exchanging a few words, Agdran and Lu Ming rushed towards the two dragon riders, ready to take down these two troublemakers!
Meanwhile, Sham and his two companions were not idle either, and they attacked the dragon riders from different angles.
One of the dragon riders had his neck torn in half by the Crystal Soul Spear. Although his cervical spine was fine, he could no longer speak or use the metallic sound. Therefore, the two dragon riders had no choice but to fight hand-to-hand with Lu Ming and his group of five.
But the result was that they were completely dominated.
Putting aside Lu Ming's high-speed movement, Benjamin's Dragon-Slaying Arrow and Sham's Sword Aura Slash alone would be enough to give the two dragon riders with shattered armor a hard time!
"Dragon Claw!!" While the wounded dragon rider was locked in combat with Agardran, Lu Ming seized the opportunity and unleashed a dragon claw strike, viciously grabbing the exposed cervical vertebrae and snapping them in one go!
Having struck a blow and killed one of the two dragon riders, Lu Ming had no time to catch his breath and immediately charged towards the other dragon rider.
"Seed Machine Gun!!" Lu Ming fired a barrage of seeds, each one striking the cracks in the dragon rider's armor, widening the fissures and quickly shattering the armor completely. Furthermore, these bullet-like seeds embedded themselves into the isolated dragon rider's body, wounding him.
"You are strong, but not enough!!" Even though they were severely injured, the dragon riders were still roaring and swinging their halberds with all their might, determined to kill Lu Ming and the others.
Unfortunately, its efforts were in vain!
Just five minutes later, the dragon rider was taken down by Sham with a single sword strike.
After a fierce battle, everyone was panting heavily, including Agardran, who had joined the fight halfway through.
However, what Lu Ming felt was worthwhile was that both dragon riders dropped skill books and weapons, which meant they hadn't wasted their magic points, qi, and arrows.
