At the same time, a red electric light appeared on Lu Ye's left fingertip. This tiny current suddenly burst forth in less than half a second, forming a lightning bolt as sharp as a knife.

Lu Ye had a two-finger holy mark on his left index finger. These weren't hard to get; the twin old women in the Round Table Hall had several, and they were sold in a bundle. With his initial prayer points plus the Ancient Dragon Prayer Book personally passed down by Lance Sanx, he was able to unleash pure red dragon lightning—[Lance Sanx's Blade].

Ge Fulei immediately grabbed the King Axe and leaped into the air. Although his jumping ability was not as good as Lu Ye's, the King Axe was enough to make up for the difference between the two.

At that very moment, Lu Ye suddenly hurled his lightning blade downwards from mid-air, aiming straight for Ge Fulei's face. As Lu Ye threw the dragon lightning, Seros, perched on Ge Fulei's shoulder, roared and stood erect, radiating a golden hue. When using this power, Seros's body ceased to be ethereal, and the fighting spirit in Ge Fulei's eyes intensified.

The next moment, Gough's body was enveloped in a golden halo, covered with dense runes. The shape of Lance Sanx's sword disintegrated the instant it struck, and red lightning rapidly swirled on the surface before rushing towards Lu Ye. At the same time, the halo surrounding Gough also dissipated.

If Lu Ye wasn't mistaken, this should be the principle of cause and effect. Taking an attack will cause it to be returned to the opponent, because the power used by Seroshu comes from the law. Even though the Golden Tree has been burned, the law is still on the verge of collapse and can still exert its effect.

Seeing the approaching Gefulei and Long Lei, Lu Ye did not panic. The Holy Mark on his finger once again took effect, and a burst of Long Lei surrounded Lu Ye.

This move is called "Dragon Thunder Protection" recorded in the prayer book. It can summon lightning to wrap around the executor's entire body, making the body easier to deflect attacks and increasing resistance to all abnormal statuses.

Although both are lightning, this will lead to a decrease in resistance to lightning.

However, Lu Ye had no intention of letting the red dragon lightning hit him.

A golden lightning spear appeared in his left hand again, but he didn't throw it immediately. Instead, he waited until the red dragon lightning was about to reach him. Then, with his right hand, he used the Undying Blade, and with his left hand, he drew out the Mountain of Corpses and Sea of ​​Blood from the void. The two swords crossed and slashed forward. The blades simultaneously withstood the power of the lightning. With a slight flick of Lu Ye's wrist, the tip of the sword rotated, and the entire lightning coiled around the blade like a snake.

Not only that, the holy mark on his left hand, which was gripping the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood, shone brightly once more. This time, a bolt of red lightning struck down from directly above Lu Ye, but it was all caught by the weapons surrounding him and then spun around. This technique of summoning lightning to strike a target from above was the last move in the Ancient Dragon Prayer Book—[Ancient Dragon Lightning Strike].

Ge Fulei realized something was wrong, but it was too late.

Lu Ye swept his weapon across his hand, and red and yellow lightning was unleashed, forming a huge arc of lightning as the blade spun.

Without touching the ground, it catches lightning in mid-air to retaliate.

This is Lu Ye's signature move—returning the lightning.

Gefulei roared as lightning struck his entire body, piercing his armor and weapons. The lightning's power flowed and raged freely through his body, causing blood and smoke to billow from his skin.

A few seconds later, Lu Ye and Ge Fulei landed at the same time.

When Ge Fulei was vainly trying to catch up with him as he leaped into the air, Lu Ye already knew the outcome, but he did not relax, because the moment Ge Fulei fell, Lu Ye clearly saw a smile on his face!

Ge Fulei slowly propped himself up, kneeling on the ground, his armor already tattered and torn.

The Chancellor Serlos, who had been perched on Govre's shoulder, seemed to realize that without his help, the battle would likely be difficult to end. So he slowly extended his claws, took a step forward, and in the instant he leaped over Govre's head, his illusory form finally became fully visible, and his armor appeared as well.

“That’s enough… Serlos…”

Suddenly, Gefulei stopped Serlosh's claws from advancing, and at the same time, his other hand had released the King's Axe and pressed down on the giant master's jaw.

The next moment, Serlosh let out a deafening roar, his head suddenly twisting in a strange direction, and a large amount of bright red blood gushed from his neck...

A few seconds later, Serlosh’s cries subsided, because Goughley had forcefully snapped its plug off!

"I...I've had enough of the red tape."

Gefuli tore off his tattered armor, revealing a muscular body covered in wounds.

Seeing this, Nymph sent a congratulatory message, thinking to herself that everything was settled.

In this way, nothing could stop Icarus.

"From this moment forward... I am Holly Lou... a warrior!!"

After saying that, the First King let out a deafening roar and charged towards Lu Ye.

Then, Lu Ye finally understood what it meant to be a "warrior from the wilderness".

Ge Fulei abandoned Wang Fu and immediately began hand-to-hand combat.

Seros had sealed away his fighting spirit, but now that it had been released, Gofrey was even more fearless, practically sticking to Lu Ye and attacking him relentlessly. This gave Icarus no chance to make a move. Whether it was the permanent homing missile or the compressed Apollo, although both could kill Gofrey, the thick-skinned Gofrey was dead, and by then Lu Ye would probably be done for too.

Even Lu Ye's arsenal was eventually depleted, the guerrilla warfare ended, and he had no choice but to confront Ge Fulei head-on.

He pulled out his silver sword and fired paralyzing bullets at Gefley.

Useful, but not much.

Gefulei's speed decreased slightly, but Lu Ye still couldn't shake him off, and Gefulei didn't even give him a chance to use his Imperial Arms.

Gefulei is like a perfect bulwark, and his martial arts have reached their peak. He possesses a melee combat strength that surpasses all the Faded Ones. While launching a super strong attack, every move can be perfectly reversed in an instant, thus turning an instantaneous offense into a solid defense.

All that could be seen were afterimages. To an ordinary person, it would be impossible to distinguish which mark was the real fist and which mark was the afterimage left by the fist.

A mad bear-like offensive and power... that's the assessment Lu Ye could give of Ge Fulei before him.

His throwing techniques were undoubtedly formidable, and Lu Ye would never dare to take them. Whenever Lu Ye tried to use his Imperial Arms to create distance, Griffin would slam the ground, shattering the entire throne area. Stones flew everywhere, and the powerful shockwaves made it impossible for Lu Ye to maintain his footing. Once he was trapped in the rubble, Griffin... no, Holly Lu would immediately appear in front of him and "bombard" him relentlessly.

Lu Ye was completely numb. He thought he had succeeded in getting Ge Fulei to remove the lion from his shoulder, but now he thought he had won if he could just slip away from Ge Fulei!

Calm down... calm down...

Lu Ye told herself to stay calm.

However, Griffith seemed to have no weaknesses. No matter how the blade attacked from any angle, the battle-hardened Griffith would block it with his arm.

If it were anyone else, faced with such an offensive that leaves you no way out or room for maneuver, they would probably have no choice but to accept their fate.

But for Lu Ye, this was an opportunity.

He has an ability that he can activate simply by thinking...

There are two more chances.

The dark shadow in front of him rapidly enlarged; it was Ge Fulei's fist.

This was a sudden and unexpected attack.

However, it was less of a stab and more of a close-range "throwing attack." Using his immense strength, Ge Fulei released his fist mid-stroke in a slight upward arc, creating a perfect feint. The instant he released his grip, his body bent, and a sharp sweeping motion, accompanied by a whistling sound, aimed directly at Lu Ye's ankle.

However, Gefulei's fist passed right through Lu Ye's foot.

Lu Ye activated his ability—[Escape into the Void].

At this moment, he does not exist in the world, yet he appears as an observer, able to pass through any obstacle and matter, and roam in any corner of this world.

Five seconds is not enough time for Lu Ye to explore every corner of the border area.

But it was enough to plunge the knife into Goefrey's heart.

Watching Ge Fulei pick up the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood from the ground, and seeing the slight bewilderment in his eyes, Lu Ye passed through Ge Fulei's body and followed the massive figure to the throne of Elden, silently counting the time.

three……

two……

one……

Four seconds ago, he disappeared in front of Ge Fulei, and the next second he appeared behind Ge Fulei. A dark red longsword appeared in Lu Ye's hand. He looked, exhaled, drew the sword, and then cut down!

At that moment, Ge Fulei heard the whistling wind. His pupils contracted sharply, as if he sensed something and tried to turn around, but it was too late.

The wind arrived as expected, carrying the fresh scent of blood. The cold blade pierced through Elden's throne and into his chest. Moments later, Griffey grasped the blade that seemed to have sprung up from his chest like bamboo shoots after a rain. However, Lu Ye twisted the handle, and Griffey's heart was shattered. The power of the tears and the destiny of death took effect instantly, and all the power receded with the loss of blood.

Griffith had never experienced such powerlessness and helplessness, like a bird pierced by a hunter's arrow, unable to change its fate no matter how hard it flapped its wings.

Chapter 694 The Beast of Elden Appears

With the blade drawn, Lu Ye ran towards the steps leading to the Golden Tree without looking back.

Gofulei stumbled backward and finally collapsed on his throne.

Not far away is Gofule's Royal Axe. The Royal Axe looks ancient, but it is actually quite dilapidated. He once led the Faded Ones in a grand war at the border of the government, so the weapon was half destroyed in the long battle.

That was proof of Govre's vow to display royal bearing, and it subsequently became one of the symbols of the Golden Family.

Griffith recalled the day he first met Marika.

He had been summoned by Twofinger not long before, who said he had the potential to become king, and then brought him to the foot of the Golden Tree.

Despite being a soldier, he was still filled with trepidation.

Although the Golden Law was just an obscure foreign power at the time, its queen was unparalleled in beauty in the borderlands.

I'm just a barbaric warrior, will I be accepted?

When he arrived, beneath the nascent golden tree, not yet as large as it is now, stood a woman with cascading golden hair, surrounded by several rare warriors clad in black armor.

The blonde woman turned her head, her eyes gleaming with golden light: "If you wish this land to prosper, then offer your power and become my king."

"For this land?" Holly Lou asked. "And what about yourself? We've only just met. Even in a tribe, there's no reason to get married after just one meeting."

"Then why did you come?"

"That's because they heard there was a war going to be fought. That big guy with two fingers said to the old woman next to him, 'Your laws will conquer the entire border region.'"

"Indeed, war is your goal, and so am I."

"what is that?"

"Let this land prosper. For this, unification is essential, and your strength is the reason to be king."

Power is the reason to be king...

Gofule, or rather Holly Lou, sat on the throne, watching the burning ashes fill the sky, the sounds of battle echoing below the capital city, and slowly closed his eyes.

He witnessed the prosperity and flourishing of the border region, and also experienced the decline and fall of the dynasty.

As the King of Elden, he has traversed the history of his own era.

"It seems... this era is coming to an end... the throne... should change hands..."

…………

Lu Ye ran quickly up the steps.

On both sides were burning thorns, their scorching heat stinging the respiratory tract.

Lu Ye held his breath and rushed toward the fog gate above.

Nymph's voice rang out at that moment.

“Once you go inside, Alpha won’t be able to assist you in combat. The only additional help my device can provide is to maintain basic communication between us. If you can’t handle it, be sure to call me, and I will bring you out!”

"no problem!"

As Lu Ye spoke, he rushed into the fog gate.

Although Nymph hasn't reported any danger to Ame yet, the threat must be dealt with as soon as possible.

But the moment he entered, he was stunned by what he saw.
