Infinite Transmigration Starting from Violet

“I get it…” A-Tui scratched his head and sighed, “But my point isn’t why these two were thrown into the sewers, but whether they’ll harbor resentment after being thrown into the sewers? Given what happened to Montgomery, I wouldn’t be surprised if he saw Marika unleash a spectacular combo of killing his mother followed by 9981 Omen Special Attacks… It’s just the thought that we might have to fight two battles is a bit creepy… Think about it, what if we’re having a great fight and then Griffith jumps out from somewhere and ambushes us?”

“It’s okay. Strictly speaking, it’s three against two. How can three people not beat two?” Melina said.

“Strictly speaking, it’s two against two,” Lu Ye said. “Amei, have you forgotten that you’re not considered a person?”

Melina paused, though she was angry, but it seemed that Lu Ye wasn't wrong.

She is merely a spirit that has lost its physical body, capable of materialization.

"Whether Marika's appearance is useful or not, don't be afraid," Lu Ye said. "Just treat these two battles as inevitable. Without expectations, there will be no disappointment."

When A-Tui heard this, it seemed to make sense, and it was a good reason to comfort himself.

To hell with it, we've come this far, let alone two battles, we'll fight ten!

Although he made those bold claims, whether his Holy Grail would be flashy enough by then was another matter entirely. Beneath the black veil, A-Tui wore a worried expression.

As A-Tui released defensive prayers such as the protection of the King's Holy Spirit, her arm inadvertently touched something hard in her arms as she moved.

Ah Tui remembered something.

Originally, I wasn't there to fight. My mission was to place the stone tablet inside the magic ring when no one was looking, in order to destroy the foundation of the Golden Law and deliver a fatal blow to it. In this way, even if the magic ring couldn't be repaired, the era of the Golden Tree would come to an end.

Damn it, my memory is terrible... Am I really an idiot?

With a skeptical mindset, after applying all the buffs, A-Tu summoned Marika using the Soul-Summoning Bell and then disappeared.

The group then walked up the steps and onto the grounds of Elden's throne.

Hearing the approaching footsteps, Montgomery, leaning on his crooked cane, stood before the throne, having waited for a long time.

To prevent a repeat of the devastating war, Mongot has trained all the warriors of the royal city of Rodel.

Now that General Ratan is dead, Judge Rakad is killed, the Holy Son Michaela has lost her physical body and cannot use her divine power, and the crimson corruption power in Valkyrie has faded, in addition to her good-for-nothing nephew... the true heir of the golden bloodline, the limb-splitting Grik.

Montgomery, standing here, had already seen everything.

What he didn't expect was that his brother, Munger, who was imprisoned with him in the dungeon, had claimed that he would help him guard the Mad Fire, but in reality, he had taken advantage of the War of Shattered Kingdom to escape from the royal city...

Montgomery closed his eyes.

Thinking about it this way, even with the help of those mountain trolls, magicians, and remnants of the Eternal City, they still wouldn't be able to defeat the powerful royal city guards.

Those allied forces were merely trying to buy time until the next King of Elden was born.

However, I absolutely will not allow it.

“O unblessed faded one… what is the point of coming to the throne?”

Montgomery spoke up.

However, when he raised his eyes and saw the figure with long golden hair and a slender figure, his golden eyes, which had already weakened to the extreme, revealed an expression of disbelief.

“Mother… Mother…” Mongot murmured, somewhat unable to believe the sight before him.

“My son… what you have been protecting all along is nothing more than the facade of the Golden Tree.” Marika revealed the truth about the Golden Tree: “The royal city of Rodel, the nobility of the Golden Law, the exclusion of death… all of it is built on the suffering of all living beings. All of it is nothing more than nourishment for the Golden Tree.”

Mongot stood there, head bowed, listening to Marika finish her story.

“Then, what does Mother hope I will do?” Montgomery asked.

"Leave there, let me end the era of the Golden Tree, and correct this mistake that should never have existed in the first place!"

"If this is what you, Mother, have hoped for..."

Mongot slowly raised his cane to the side, then squeezed it hard. The wooden casing of the cane shattered into pieces in an instant, revealing a curved blade with a purple, flowing sheen inside.

"Then I cannot agree!"

"Are you...holding a grudge against me?" Marika asked.

He imprisoned his own flesh and blood underground in the royal city, where they never saw the light of day.

They then smashed the Dharma Ring and destroyed everything.

“No, Mother, I never hold a grudge against you.” A slight smile appeared on Mongot’s face. “I know that placing me in the underground of the royal city was not your intention, because I, with the curse, would not be accepted by the Golden Tree Clan, and... thanks to your help, the conditions in the dungeons of the royal city were not bad before the War of Shattering.”

“The golden tree has done you no favor,” Marika said.

"Even so, I am still a member of the Golden Tree."

Mongot looked at the burning, towering tree, and slowly brushed his other hand across the hideous tumors on his face.

"Bearing the curse, I originally didn't even have the right to come here. Before the tree burned, the scenery here was truly beautiful, offering a view of the entire royal city. In the prosperous era of the royal city, amidst the bustling crowds, Rodel must have been even more beautiful... But I was unable to witness such a sight back then. However, if happiness can continue without seeing such a sight, I would be willing to go blind. I am not acting for any reward; I simply want to help my family. Even if all I hear from the dungeon guards is that my elder brother Godwin fought against the dragon, my father conquered all sides, and you are still the noble queen... Just that news is enough for me."

“Mother, the era of the Golden Tree is coming to an end. As your prophecy foretold, we have long been abandoned by the Golden Tree…”

Seeing this, Marika said nothing more, and her figure gradually dissipated.

Because she knew that saying anything now would be pointless.

The conversation between mother and son broke down.

Lu Ye slowly raised his sword, and six powerful weapons he had obtained from various places instantly surrounded him.

A curved dagger gleaming with golden light slipped from Melina's sleeve, looking somewhat similar to the weapons of the Black Blades.

"Just as rumored, you really love this golden clan. Even the thorns that the golden tree refused to let you in were burned away, and you didn't even go in to pay homage to the legendary Elden Ring."

“No one can be king.” Montgomery pointed his sword at Lu Ye. “You who are manipulated by the fires of ambition! On your foolish epitaph, let the name of the ominous king—Mongomery—be inscribed!”

Mongot charged forward first, his longsword flashing like a phantom, making it impossible to defend against.

But Melina was more mobile. She moved around Mongot at high speed, her dagger constantly aimed at Mongot's vitals, like a gladiator in a bullfight.

Lu Ye then launched a surprise attack to the side, sliding forward and using his sword to strike. Bai Lei was drawn from its sheath like flowing water, but the moment it slashed was so fierce!

Caught between the two, Mongot was instantly in danger.

Because the space for dodging is too limited, once you dodge, all your escape routes will be cut off.

But if there is no way out, then the only option is to face the blade head-on.

With a furious roar, Mengget swung away Melina's slash and then thrust forward rapidly. The dense barrage of thrusts surprised Lu Ye, who found it hard to believe that such a withered arm could contain such powerful explosive force.

Lu Ye seized the opportunity, lightly stepped onto the blade, flipped into the air, and landed, temporarily creating distance.

Taking advantage of the moment when Lu Ye and Melina were being asked to leave, Mengget used his old trick—throwing golden daggers from under his tattered cloak. This time, however, he threw them more frequently, with four golden daggers slipping through his fingers with each throw, and he threw quite a few times in just a few seconds.

Faced with such a dense barrage of daggers, Melina slid to Lu Ye's side not far away, and suddenly pressed her left hand to the ground. A small "little golden tree" that looked exactly like a golden tree immediately sprouted from the ground, bringing a strong gust of wind.

A strong wind pressure spread out from around the tree, blowing the daggers away.

Lu Ye seized the opportunity and drew his sword again, the Imperial Arm flashing!

He arrived at Mongot's left side in an instant. He had only taken the Mortal Blade earlier because he wanted to use the Silver Dance to mark Mongot's body.

The Mortal Blade and the legendary sword Moonlit Blade flashed simultaneously, forming a dense net as the two longswords swung rapidly, like the blades of a meat grinder in operation.

At the same time, the weapons surrounding Lu Ye automatically launched an attack on Mengget, their blades emitting a storm that swirled back and forth across the arena.

"Is this all you know how to do?!" Montgomery roared.

A massive, pale brown aura erupted from his body, carrying a hint of the power of a primal life furnace, yet it was different, because his long-term life in the dungeons of the royal city had corrupted Mongot himself.

Chapter 691 Montgomery's Inner Thoughts

A powerful burst of curse energy erupted, instantly reducing visibility by one level. Melina managed to escape the area of ​​the burst in time, but she couldn't see what was happening inside.

A sense of unease crept into her heart. The ominous curse beneath the royal city was no weak force. If she were to confront it head-on, even if she survived, it would still have a long-lasting negative impact on her body.

I just hope that Lu Ye can get out of the area affected by the curse in time.

However, Lu Ye did not retreat.

On the contrary, as he advanced, he took out a panacea and started injecting it directly into his body!

In order to break the disadvantage of being surrounded by the two, Menggete chose to unleash the curse on his body, but Lu Ye wanted to see whether his curse would hurt him faster or the panacea would heal him faster!

For this battle, Lu Ye had a bunch of potions hanging around his waist, and he also prepared a lot for A Tui, all so that he wouldn't repeat the same mistake. Lu Ye had already learned his lesson well from the time on the snow mountain!

Of course, Icarus's [Absolute Defense Circle] can now be used without restriction.

However, trump cards are something you should save for last.

Icarus's [Absolute Defense Circle] is practically perfect and flawless.

However, according to Marika's account before the departure, the Lion Chancellor Serlosh, as a beast who monitors and assists King Govre of Elden, is no less powerful than Maricus, and is even stronger.

Maricus is known as the "Black Sword" because he sealed his destined death within a black greatsword for his own use.

Serosius, on the other hand, was even more formidable, directly mastering a portion of the Golden Law's laws.

If Icarus's "foreign ability" is used at close range, he might be assimilated by the law. After all, the Supreme Will previously used the Golden Law within the Golden Tree to forcibly "repatriate" Violet and Esdeath.

Although the Supreme Will already knew this and informed the Two Fingers, who were His eyes and ears in the Borderlands, Gofulei had already disappeared upon returning from the Borderlands. The Two Fingers had no way to inform Serosius of the information. In addition, the series of events caused by Luye and others' actions in the Borderlands, including the major matter of Lani killing the Two Fingers, made it even more difficult for the Two Fingers to spare any energy to search for Gofulei.

Gefulei is currently in the capital city. Although his exact location is unknown, he may be observing the situation here.

If Seros observes the existence of the [Absolute Defense Circle], then this powerful shield, which is strong enough to withstand Apollo, may become significantly less useful.

Although Lu Ye could use the [Absolute Defense Circle] without limit, he dared not gamble on this "possibility." As the first king, Gefulei's strength was definitely above that of Menggete, so he had to keep a trump card up his sleeve!

While Lu Ye was enduring the aftershocks of the curse, Mengget strode forward, his strangely twisted blade slashing down from above with a powerful and sweeping force, like thunder in a rainy night.

The blade in his eyes transformed into a straight line. As Lu Ye watched this straight line grow larger and larger in his field of vision, he suddenly seized the opportunity and swung his right hand with the Blade of Tears, unleashing a blade of light as sharp as lightning.

—Ashina Style: Ashina Cross Slash!

Two swift, flowing slashes: one vertical slash deflected Mongot's attack, while the other attempted to tear open Mongot's abdomen, but was unfortunately dodged.

But Lu Ye didn't care at all. He charged forward again, as brave as a hungry cheetah. The weapons that had been deflected by the cursed power gathered around Lu Ye again and automatically launched an attack on Mengget!

With a furious roar, several golden swords suddenly appeared in the sky, covering the entire area. At the same time, the golden heavy hammer that Lu Ye had already experienced in Stoneville City reappeared in his hand.

The golden swords rained down like a storm, but Melina waved her hand, and the golden trees growing on the ground emitted a soft halo of light, blocking the swords' attack.

At the same time, the six weapons that had been attacking Menggot also circled back to protect Lu Ye. Lu Ye still raised his sword to meet Menggot's golden hammer, the sharp blade light exuding killing intent, and Bai Lei emanating extreme ferocity and death.

—Special Technique: Mortal Slash!

Montgomery sensed the danger of this move.

If you manage to block this strike, you will be met with a barrage of rapid slashes in the next instant. This is because you are most vulnerable to attack when you haven't yet recovered from the first blow. This "moment" is called an opening.

If they don't take the blow, Lu Ye and Melina will block their escape routes, leaving them with no way to dodge.
