This isn't a souls-like game at all.

Then Knight Phantom raised his hammer high above his head and activated his combat skill [Crush the Earth] again.

The hammer landed directly on Ye Yiyi, a white light burst out, and a huge explosion occurred again. The ground cracked and then melted by the high temperature, turning into a pool of boiling magma.

The shock wave hit the illusory light curtain, and the strong wind it stirred up even pushed back the storm tornado.

"..."

The knight phantom stood on the lava ground and slowly looked down.

Then a hand suddenly rushed out from the molten lava and grabbed the knight's right leg.

"You bastard! I've caught you!"

Ye Yiyi, unharmed, poked his head out from the lava and sneered at the Knight Phantom.

Knight Phantom didn't hesitate, raised the sledgehammer in his hand and smashed it down.

Ye Yiyi rolled over to avoid it, took out a stick with his backhand, and activated the fighting skill "Frenzy Dance".

Wooden sticks rained down on the knight, a storm tornado came from a distance, and the knight phantom's health bar dropped again.

The Kingchoir Knight swung his hammer and hit him on the forehead, shoulders, and arms, but it was completely unable to break Ye Yiyi's attack.

Seeing that its health bar was about to reach zero, it raised its foot and stomped its foot lightly. A large purple steel shield rose from the lava ground, separating the two people.

Then the knight phantom held the hammer in both hands and hit the shield hard from the side. Suddenly, all kinds of weapons such as swords, spears, knives and axes stabbed out from the other end of the shield, trying to force Ye back one by one.

"die!"

Unexpectedly, Ye Yiyi stood up wrapped in the gust of wind, passed over the giant shield, and a black pickaxe head appeared in his hand.

Exclusive combat skill: Flame Cross!

A cone of fire shot out from the end of the pickaxe, carrying him down from the sky.

"boom!"

The pickaxe head sank into the phantom knight's shoulder, and suddenly exploded amidst the flames, forming a cross-shaped flame mark on the King Choosing Knight's body!

The Kingchoir Knight's health bar is reduced to zero.

It knelt on one knee with a long-handled sledgehammer in hand, and its illusory body turned into light and dissipated.

Soul Echo +33000!

Combat skill [Ram Charge] proficiency (1/30) improved!

The proficiency of the combat skill [Exciting War Roar] (2/30) has been improved!

Combat skill [Frenzy] proficiency (1/30) improved!

"call……"

Ye Yiyi stood up straight on the gradually solidifying lava ground and let out a long breath.

"As expected of a Kingchoir Knight, the fight was truly enjoyable!"

He suddenly felt something and looked up.

A bit of purple light floated down from the sky and sank into his brow.

Feeling the extra information appearing out of nowhere in his mind, he couldn't help but show joy on his face.

“It’s actually the magic of the kings!”

Chapter 135 [Forging Weapons] and [Phantom Lantern]

The magic of the kings is the name for the strange and powerful powers used by the ancient kings.

Unlike magic that is enhanced by intelligence and hymns that are enhanced by faith, the spells of kings can be enhanced by both intelligence and faith.

Ye Yiding concentrated his mind, and the information in his mind gradually became clear.

[Forging Weapons]

Spell Slots: 1

Skill cost: 22

Requirements: Intelligence 25, Faith 25

Item Description: The power shared by the Heavenly Forger, one of the magics of the kings.

It can forge everything and temporarily transform it into weapons to attack.

After the attack ends, the forged object will return to its original form.

It can be executed by walking, and the number of weapons can be increased by charging.

Roughly transform the form of matter without changing its properties.

Therefore, in the eyes of the king, the knights who are good at using this technique are like a blind man with a mirror.

After reading the item description, Ye Yiyi was very satisfied.

"Not bad! Not bad! This technique is both cool and useful. When I collect enough techniques from the kings, I can become a warrior of wisdom and faith."

This was undoubtedly the move used by the King Chosen Knight Phantom just now. The purple metal should be deep purple gold.

The ability to forge metal into weapons out of thin air for attack is the result of the magic of the kings.

"But to use the magic of the kings, I still need to find a catalyst... There's no rush for that. Let's go to the King's workshop and do the real work first."

He looked around, took out a new set of mercenary armor and put it on, then ran to the side to retrieve the coiled ram-horn hammer, and found the completely damaged crossbow not far away.

"Hey……"

Looking at the crossbow in his hand that was damaged beyond recognition by the shock wave and high temperature, he sighed sadly.

The gift given to him by the old hunter Eurost was completely rotten within less than a day of his receipt.

“I hope the old blacksmith can repair it.”

He quietly put away the crossbow, then called out the light curtain and counted the harvest.

Defeating the Kingchooser Phantom provided him with a total of 33000 Soul Echoes.

As the strongest human enemy he had ever encountered besides the Archbishop of Holy Blood, that was a lot.

After all, the basic soul echoes of Spread-Winged Eagle and Lord of Holy Blood are only 5, and the Kingchooser is not the real body, but just an illusion of power.

Current Soul Echoes: 53301

Soul Echoes Required for Upgrade: 20800

"Not bad, I can get promoted two levels."

After lowering the light curtain, he finally arrived in front of the dark golden building.

Ye Yiyi looked up and found that the purple lamp hanging high up had dimmed.

"What do you mean? Why is it dark?"

He thought for a moment, then simply jumped over to the lamp and took it down.

This is a rather delicate glass lantern with an overall heptagonal shape, consisting of seven pieces of purple translucent glass.

Through the glass, you can see the small gem in the center of the lantern.

"It's quite exquisite." Ye Yiyi thought to himself, and then checked the light curtain.

【Phantom Lamp】

Item Description: A purple lamp that once housed the phantom of the Kingchooser's power.

As the phantom was destroyed, the lamp became an empty shell.

Consumes all concentration points to store power illusions.

The phantom of power can protect a party until death.

It is said that in the era of the land kingdoms, purple lamps represented forbidden areas that ordinary people could not touch.

Therefore, phantoms of knights often appear to provide protection.

"Oh? There's actually such a tool!"

Ye Yiyi looked at the lamp in her hand with curiosity.

There is only a Knight Phantom in the game, but no such item.

Obviously, this is an item that appears to supplement the world view.

Because there has to be a logical explanation for the appearance of the Knight Phantom.

Glancing at the blue bar that was more than half depleted, he tried to use the lantern.

As the gem in the lamp began to light up, Ye Yiyi's blue bar gradually decreased.

Soon, the blue bar dropped to zero and the purple light in the lamp lit up again.

"So how do you use this thing?"

He shook it, and tried every way he could but he couldn't summon his own phantom of power like before.

"Uh... never mind, I'll take it back and show it to the old blacksmith."

After putting away the phantom lamp, Ye Yiyi jumped off the building.

Half of the workshop was buried in the soil and rocks, but fortunately the corridor connecting to the gate, which was cut off by the aftermath, was still outside.

As long as we dig up the soil in the corridor, we can find a way to open the door.

Ye Yiyi took out a pickaxe and dug around with brute force.

"clang!"

Halfway through digging, the pickaxe suddenly hit something hard.

"What is this?" He squatted down and dug the soil, and found a piece of iron plate.

Adjusting the waist lamp to the maximum brightness, he looked at the iron plate in the cold light.

A five-pointed star was painted on the iron plate with dark gold paint. Even after being buried in the soil for many years, the color had not faded and was still clearly visible.

Ye Yiyi raised his eyebrows, feeling that he had seen this pentagram somewhere before.

He reached out and touched it, and then he saw a black groove emerging under the simplified light curtain, with a dark golden head slightly raised in it.

"Divine contamination?" He was surprised. "Could it be that this isn't dark gold pigment, but divine blood?"

So, this should be an item left behind by the Lord of Holy Blood.

So the Lord of Holy Blood has been here?

No, considering Federico's situation, not only the Lord of Holy Blood came here, but also the Archbishop of Holy Blood!

"This may have happened before the Archbishop betrayed me." He thought to himself.

As for this iron plate, there was no light curtain popping up on it, so he was not sure what it was used for.

I simply put it away and prepared to ask the old blacksmith later.

After all, an old person in the family is like a treasure.

He continued digging the soil, but did not find any other objects. Relying on his energy and strength, Ye Yiyi dug out a passable path in just ten minutes.

"I'm going to the construction site to move bricks. My efficiency must be very high..."

After silently complaining in his heart, he pushed the double doors at the end of the corridor open a crack.

Behind the door was a hall that sloped slightly downward. He raised his waist lamp to dispel the darkness and looked around.

No one has been here for who knows how many years. Not only is the air extremely stuffy, but the ground is also covered with a thick layer of dust.

Ye Yiyi looked down and found no footprints other than his own.

"So, the Lord of Holy Blood and the Archbishop of Holy Blood did not come here back then." He thought to himself.

Walking down the hall, due to the angle, there are a lot of debris piled up here.

Ye Yi looked through it and unexpectedly found a complete human skull.

"Ten thousand years have passed, and this bone has been preserved for this long?!"

He was a little curious and picked up the skull, then watched awkwardly as it turned into flying ashes in his hands.
