Elden: Ring of Calamity

Chapter 439 Moon Sword

A hundred meters away, the hideous figure like a demon was reflected in Laelana's eyes. The mockery between her brows faded away silently, replaced by extreme hatred.

Even though Makar was close to complete dragonization, his strength was still insignificant in her eyes. What really made this Knight of the Twin Moons hate him was that the Makar family had already gone so far on the Dragon Feast Road without Kalia's knowledge.

Being able to transform a human body to this extent, Makar is obviously not comparable to the third-rate guy called "Dragon Spear" from the Duoris family a few years ago. Although this dragon body is rough, ugly and full of inharmonious atmosphere, it still cannot be denied that more than 90% of Makar's bloodline has reached the dragon level.

According to the information Kalia had, to reach this point, Makar had to complete at least three dragon feasts, and the "sacrifice" with the lowest bloodline would not be lower than a mid-level flying dragon.

So during these three hundred years, how many dragons did the sixteen generations of Makar family heads, plus those Makar people who were known as the "Ghost Eaters", slaughter during the chaotic times at the end of the Revival Era?

Of course, Kalia is not Fam Azra, and with Laelana's personality, she would never think from Lucia's perspective on everything.

But the Dragon Feast concerns far more than the alliance between the Dragon and the Moon that has lasted for hundreds of years. In the long years since the founding of the country, the dragon clan has long become one of the most solid cornerstones of the Moon Dynasty. The "pyroxene dragon" Moret is one of the three seats among the twelve Knights of Kalia, and thousands of pyroxene flying dragons are the closest tribesmen and comrades of the Kalia people.

Therefore, touching the Dragon Feast is not only a taboo that the Ancient Dragon Dynasty must kill, but also a death zone that the Kalia people cannot tolerate.

"I've changed my mind—" Laylana's voice was very soft, but it was clearly audible amid Makar's deafening roar, "You can't die today."

"Death is too easy, and not suitable for a hero with a family background like Count Makar, right?"

With a faint laugh, Lailana's figure melted into nothingness like a ray of silver moonlight.

The next moment, a grand dark moon suddenly rose above the Perum Fortress!

The so-called "Twin Moons" not only refers to the extremely talented twin sisters of the previous generation of the Kalia royal family, but is also a title belonging to Laelana herself.

Everyone knows that Laelana is the favored one of the full moon goddess Selene, but after a long period of silence, many people have forgotten that Laelana's talent is even better than her elder sister. Looking back at the hundreds of years before and after the border, she is the only one chosen by both gods.

Pandya of the Black Moon and Luna of the Dark Moon, as sisters of Selene, actually chose the same God-favored One in the same era. What a miracle is this?
The three moon gods are interdependent and symbiotic, but their original powers are completely different. Selene of the Full Moon is in charge of purification, so Queen Lena's most famous full moon magic can erase all enemy magic and purify all negative curses on the caster.

Correspondingly, Luna of the Dark Moon holds mysterious authority, possessing both the power of ice and snow that buries everything and the strongest soul power among the three moon gods, and possesses the most profound and subtle sensitivity to all things.

Pandiya of the Black Moon is devoted to killing, and its original power is the simplest and purest, which is the ultimate annihilation.

"You must be kidding, what is that?"

Inside and outside the fortress, both the Ghost Blood Knights who were ready to go and the other fortress defenders looked up at the sky in horror.

The moon was like the eye of death that opened high in the sky. It not only completely swallowed up the sunlight, but also suppressed the glow of the golden tree on the distant skyline. The dark blue moonlight flowed on the surface of the moon, just like the legendary gate to the other side of the starry sky. The dark black moonlight lingered around the moon, weaving into a cold and grand lunar corona. In the place where the moonlight shone, countless blue red spider lilies bloomed like wildfires.

The magical realm. The underworld is born.

The blooming flowers spread over the soldiers' boots and horseshoes. In the moonlight, Laelana reappeared. The moonlight sword in her right hand turned half a circle, and the petals reflected thousands of faint blue moonlight, like gentle flowing water enveloping the Makar people covered by the domain.

The next second, the flaming sword in his left hand reversed in mid-air, and the dark blue moonlight instantly turned into a fire of darkness, engulfing thousands of soldiers amid countless wailings. The blazing flames bloomed on the corpses of the dead, just like the flowers on the other shore in full bloom!
Randolph Makar was also pierced by hundreds of flames in an instant. His head, shaped like a giant lizard, suddenly raised up and let out an angry roar. His bulging muscles lifted his tattered body up from the ground. Large pieces of blue-black scales sprouted from his palms, forming a giant dragon-scale sword as wide as a door panel, which smashed towards the moon in the sky!
The Makar clan endured humiliation in the troubled times and devoured the bones and blood of countless dragons to gain strength, which must not be destroyed in his hands!
At this moment, one of Laelana's pupils turned dark blue and the other turned pitch black. She grinned, not dodging or avoiding the "angry dragon" rising into the sky. Her body blurred into a disillusioned shadow and swooped down. In the void, only the arc of light from her eyes could be seen!

The two swords crossed, and two moon shadows appeared behind her at the same time!
When the first full moon fell, the exploding lunar halo slammed Makar's dragon body into the ground. When the second full moon fell, the earth cracked into countless cracks several meters deep!

Then, Lailana's figure, like the moon goddess, appeared in the moonlight, with both swords twisted and raised above her head. She turned into the last moon and slashed straight down!

The roar like a meteor falling to the ground shook the area for hundreds of miles. In the bursting moonlight, the entire Perum Fortress and the mountain at the foot of the fortress were flattened by one blow!
A huge meteorite crater with a diameter of more than 300 meters appeared in the middle of the earth. At the bottom of the crater, Randolph Makar's limbs were all broken.

This time, the giant sword that angrily slashed the sky failed to hit the ghost it intended to kill. Instead, it turned into countless shattered fragments and pierced into the body of its owner, causing him to suffer the pain of being cut into pieces.

At the last moment, Laelana retracted her strength, and the tip of the flaming sword stayed at the position where it had just pierced Makar's heart. The violent magic power destroyed his heart meridian, but left him with his last breath.

Lailana casually cast a magic seal to suppress Makar's injuries. She knew nothing about divine power, let alone life magic. This seal could not heal the injuries, but only temporarily froze the opponent's life in this state with pure violence.

When the seal is over, Makar will become a cripple, or even worse than a cripple. The excruciating pain that eats into his bones and marrow will haunt his nerves every minute and every second of his remaining life, until Kalia shows mercy and grants him death.

Lailana grabbed Makar by the scruff of the neck with one hand and dragged him out of the huge pit like a dead dog with a broken spine. A few hundred steps away from the edge of the pit, she saw hundreds of corpses that were still relatively intact.

With her millimeter-precise spiritual perception, she naturally remembered clearly that the owner of these bones was the "Ghost Blood Knight" mentioned by Makar. These bones were all dark gold in varying shades, and some of them had dragon features such as dragon horns, dragon claws, and unformed membrane wings.

Their toughness far exceeding that of human bones allowed them to survive the sword. It turned out that ghost blood was actually dragon blood, and the Makar family, named after the ghost eaters, was built on the dragon feast ritual of secretly devouring the flesh and blood of dragons.

Lailana looked around. She did not detect any trace of the true sect here. If the conclusion Lucia came to from the Duoris case four years ago was correct, then the shadow of that group of heretics must be behind the Makar family's Dragon Feast.

And Radagan chose to place such a family at the forefront of blocking Kalia. It would be unbelievable to say that he was completely unaware of Makar's background.

Lailana narrowed her eyes slightly. In the twenty years when she was away, it was already extremely strange that her sister chose Radagon in the Battle of Moon Tree. Now it seems that the latter's secret is far greater than she imagined.

"The Giant King's Court, the True Cult, and the corrupt cultists who appeared in Galid and the Far Eastern Islands during the Battle of the Broken Star. My former brother-in-law has really prepared enough surprises for us."
