Cataclysm King

Chapter 204 Death of Jia Yu
Nine Hell Knights covered in black flames charged towards their respective targets.

The touch of weapons, the bombardment of spells, and the rolling breath of dragons.
The huge mausoleum suddenly became lively.

However, this is a very ideal situation for Ji Xun and the other three.

Compared to the previous encounter with the fourth-level S-level Hell Knight who could severely injure Chujiu with one blow, the pressure on the three of them was much less when they faced off against their own clones of the same level.

After all, the three of them are at the peak of their combat prowess at the same level.

Although Ji Xun and Jia Yu are both at the second level, their attribute values ​​are almost unmatched by anyone at the same level. One is suspected to be a member of the Thirteen Kamen Riders, and his methods are mysterious and unpredictable.

It is difficult to kill monsters within the second level.

Although Chujiu herself is only at the peak of the third level, her current level of demon elimination is extremely high, and it is difficult to imagine an enemy within the same level that can pose a threat to her.

Although there is no hope of victory for a while.

But in a short period of time, none of the three people's lives were in danger.

In contrast, the situation of the others is not so good.

Although the nine people in the mausoleum are all facing clones of Hell Knights of the same level.

But this disaster is, after all, a monster created by the magic power of the strongest man in the human kingdom and the lord of hell a hundred years ago.

The monsters include the First Paladin Martial Skills Comprehension, Dragonborn Body, Hellfire, and the Fall of the Gods.
With these hardware blessings, this one is already considered invincible at the same level.

The monster also proved its strength with facts.

The first time the disaster clone charged, death occurred.

The third-level B-level demon leader [Two-Headed Dragon Lizard] was imprisoned on the spot by the secret technique of gravity, unable to break free.

Then he was shot through the chest by the Hell Knight and died suddenly on the spot.

Although the other two demon leaders were not dead, they were injured and were being chased in such a miserable state that their chances of survival were extremely low.

Prince Sarn and Red Dragon Youen are both level [-], and their opponents are also level [-] S-level Hell Knights, so they face the greatest pressure.

Fortunately, one of them knows the secret technique of attracting the gods to fall, and the other is a dragonborn with the talent of hellfire. Each of them is partially resistant to the monster's ability, and can hold on for a while.

Although the hunchbacked old man is at the third level, he possesses strange and powerful necromantic secret arts. He is also proficient in various Shinto secret arts, and he seems to have no sign of defeat.

The battle in the cave instantly became lively.

Ji Xun didn't wonder about other people's conditions.

Now the situation is roughly clear. The domain rule of this S-level disaster is to defeat the clone first.

Or be killed yourself.

Only one battle.

Ji Xun's transformed werewolf started fighting hand to hand with the Hell Knight.

After drinking the water of the Holy Grail, his physical attributes on the data panel skyrocketed by about 5%.

At this moment, Ji Xun's fighting state was at its peak.

"Keng!"

"Keng!"

"Keng!"

"."

There were frequent sharp sounds of metal interlacing.

Ji Xun was torn apart by that strange gravity, and his agility advantage was greatly limited.

The strong body of a werewolf is like rotten wood under that level of attack, and will be injured upon contact.

He could only be forced to use the [Useless Great Sword] to block frequently.

Fortunately, I had watched the battle of Prince Sarn before and learned a lot of skills with the two-handed sword.

The skill panel shows [Intermediate Great Sword Specialization] proficiency, which is considered easy to use.

And precisely because of this cataclysmic sword, he was able to block the deadly knight's gun many times.

It is indeed a second-order S-level disaster!
Although Ji Xun's physical attributes and combat power were already outrageous, he was still beaten to the point where he was unable to fight back.

Although they were both at the second level, the monster did not use any moves beyond the level, but with the blessing of Galen's fighting consciousness, there was no flaw in the fighting skills.

Even if the same martial skill is used, the power is very different.

Ji Xun's martial arts skills were his "first glimpse into the world".

When monsters are used, they "reach the peak".

This kind of suppression at the technical level left Ji Xun with no hope of taking advantage of him through martial arts except for being beaten.

What's more, this monster is covered in dragon scales and hellfire, and is almost invincible against both physical and demonic defenses.

In a short period of time, he could not think of any means that could cause effective damage to this dragon-scaled hell knight.

However, the opponent is strong, which is not entirely a bad thing for Ji Xun.

As long as he is not dead, this gap will become smaller and smaller.

Because, the magic solution [JOKER] allows him to steal other people's martial arts!

The longer the fight goes on, the less secret his opponent's methods become in his eyes.

Even while fighting fiercely, Enlightenment is constantly refreshing.

"Overpressure Comprehension '52 Demon God's Forbidden Technique: Leading the God to Fall', Skill Comprehension +53"

"Overpressure Comprehension '52 Demon God's Forbidden Technique: Leading the God to Fall', Skill Comprehension +81"

"You mastered the 'Knight Spear Nine Combos' in battle, and your proficiency is +244."

"You have mastered the 'Fighting Qi Fire Control', and your proficiency is +188."

"Your epiphany in battle, basic martial arts proficiency +985"

"."

Ji Xun has already mastered the magic solution, and he was immersed in that mysterious state of learning from the first moment of the battle.

The negative state of his body has been completely cleared, and his ability to comprehend has now reached its peak.

Ji Xun saw every move of the Hell Knight and had a photographic memory, which was immediately engraved in his heart.

The perception is also improving all the time.

The martial arts skills that second-level knights can master are not very difficult. For Ji Xun's current understanding, he can almost understand them at a glance.

What is rare is the fighting consciousness of an epic hero.

This is a wonderful experience that Ji Xun has never had before against any opponent.

As I was dabbing, I would feel a "flash of inspiration" from time to time.

The use of skills in fighting seems to have opened a new door.

That feeling often made Ji Xunhui lament during battles
Oh, it turns out this martial skill can be used in this way!
The two sides kept fighting.

Ji Xun also gradually figured out the various techniques mastered by this disaster.

Although he is still suppressed due to his proficiency, once he knows himself and his enemy, this suppression effect becomes less and less obvious.

Moreover, the most important thing is the secret technique of "inducing the gods to fall"!
When he was fighting for the Holy Grail before, he was stuck in the quagmire-like gravitational field, but he still passively perceived it.

Now in actual combat, the Hell Knight demonstrated the epic hero Galen's "peak" proficiency in this mysterious magic.

It really opened Ji Xun's eyes.

When Ji Xun got the [Power Gem Golden Ball] before, he only thought that this kind of gravity could increase the load.

Only now do I know that it is not just downward gravity, but also various directional gravity forces, and even the use of gravity to change the displacement of the target and interrupt certain spells.
Coupled with some of your own martial arts, you can achieve some unexpected and wonderful effects.

This secret technique is extremely profound.

Ji Xun was completely unaware of the evil nature of this secret technique at first, and then he was beaten to an extremely embarrassing state by monsters and almost died several times.

But also because of this ultra-high pressure, his progress in comprehending the secret technique was several times faster than before.

As long as they don't die suddenly on the spot, it will be a protracted war.

Gradually, he mastered some of the essentials of this mysterious magic.

This feeling is like that of a peerless master who is proficient in this technique and demonstrates step by step the various uses of the secret technique in actual combat.

Through constant fierce battles, this mysterious magic method gradually unveiled its mystery in Ji Xun's eyes.

"Boom!"

There was another clash of guns and swords, with a sharp and ear-piercing sound.

Ji Xun looked at the bloody hole on his shoulder, his expression not daring to relax at all.

In the fight just now, even though he was already very skilled in making blocking movements, he wanted to avoid the [Heavy Stab] shot from the Hell Knight.

But at that moment, the sudden change in gravity made the sword in his hand seem to be sucked away by a magnet, and the tilt angle of the sword suddenly changed.

The knight's spear slid past the sword blade, and then stabbed the left shoulder.

Ji Xun quickly retreated and opened some distance, exhaled slightly, and sighed in his heart: "This monster's combat awareness is really strong. It can keenly detect such weak points."

It's not just him who can learn.

After fighting a few more times, Ji Xun found that the monster was familiar with his moves and routines.

But this is not because the monster has intelligence, but because of its fighting instinct.

Using tricks at a glance, a combat consciousness similar to muscle memory was formed.

The fighting consciousness of the epic hero a hundred years ago was no worse than anyone else.

This is what makes Ji Xun so dangerous.

The moment he was injured, the wound on his shoulder glowed with green light, and he recovered in the blink of an eye.

If he hadn't mastered the magical and mysterious method of "Immortality Curse", the injury just now would be equivalent to the loss of an arm, which would be enough to become a fatal flaw in the subsequent fights.

And he has suffered this kind of serious injury seven or eight times.

That is,

Although Ji Xun's combat power was almost invincible in the second level, but normally he would have died seven or eight times when he encountered this Hell Knight.

"hey-hey."

But the smile on Ji Xun's face was still bright.

It was because of playing against such a top opponent that he felt the joy of wandering on the line of death.

An opponent who is too strong cannot give it, and an opponent who is too weak cannot give it.

This kind of opponent is just right.

Unpredictable.

Even if he lost a lot of life, for Ji Xun, the gain outweighed the effort.

He had no intention of cherishing his life at all.

Being able to live brilliantly, those restored lifespans have meaning to him.

The only trouble is that if it continues to be used up, the power of the spell may not be able to sustain it.

And so is it.

It's not that Ji Xun isn't strong enough, it's that the S-level disaster is outrageous.

With a glance from the corner of his eye, he saw that the corpses of two hell lords not far away had long been nailed to the wall, with blood flowing all over the floor.

Even Prince Sarn and Red Dragon Yuri, the two strongest level fours, were covered in injuries at the moment and looked like they wouldn't last long.

Without a healing method like Ji Xun that could restore injuries at any time, any injury would be a weight in the balance that tilted the balance towards defeat.

Ji Xun was fighting while observing his surroundings.

Except for the two fourth-level ones, Chujiu's side was still strong. Her elemental body could hardly hurt her at the same level, and she and the monster clone were also in a stalemate.

The mushroom-headed Jia Yu was not affected by the gravitational field and looked at all kinds of awkward movements, but he was not injured at all.

The hunchbacked old Duan himself was proficient in all kinds of necromancy secrets. He didn't know what secret method he used, but a tombstone appeared next to him.The Hell Knight has killed him several times, but this guy is still alive and kicking.

The few people who are still alive are all top masters of different levels and have life-saving trump cards.

But everyone actually faced the same dilemma: they couldn't kill the S-class disaster at all!
Therefore, if you continue to waste it like this, sooner or later you will be dead.

Other methods must be thought of.

After fighting for so long, Ji Xun was now a little more certain.

This hero Galen wanted to pass on the secret technique.

Only those who have received the inheritance can obtain the Holy Grail.

This was also the only breaking point he could think of.

But not enough.

And Ji Xun himself was not sure whether he could survive until then.He also looked around, wanting to see if he could find other breaking points.

However, it was obvious that someone could not hold on longer than Ji Xun.

The fifth prince Sarn, who was wearing golden armor, was exhausted at the moment. His armor was full of cracks, his helmet was shattered, and his whole body was scorched.

Despite the battle, he seemed to have deepened his understanding of magic and mysteries a lot.

But the monster cannot be killed.

The injury that continues to worsen can no longer support him to continue playing.

Therefore, if this guy is not willing to die, he will definitely do something.

Ji Xun's eyes have been fixed on this plot character from the beginning.

Because his intuition told him that this Prince of Sarn might be a key plot mission in the "Third Holy Grail War".

After all, this "Battle of Ironforge" is just a small-scale battle in the early stages of the war, and the fight for the Holy Grail has just begun.

But now that this guy is here, he has found the Holy Grail.

If there were not adventurers like Ji Xun, it might be that he really took away the Holy Grail, which would trigger the subsequent fight.

Assuming this idea holds true,

Then the problem is coming.

How did Prince Sarn get the Holy Grail and get out alive?
"This guy should have some key clues, so he should take action."

Ji Xun guessed this.

This place was found by Sarn, and he may have a treasure map or something in his hand.

You haven't revealed your methods before, maybe you want to use the hands of the Necromancer Knight to kill everyone who enters the tomb?
But now seeing that several others are not dead yet, but he is about to die, if there is any hidden method, it is time to use it now.

The facts were as Ji Xun expected.

Just as he was beating, a dazzling light of fighting spirit suddenly erupted from the mausoleum.

Prince Sarn suddenly became violent.

He fought off the entangled monster, and then rushed straight to the pile of bones in palace robes beside the hero's statue.

Before anyone could understand what he was doing.

This guy took out a scroll and spat a mouthful of blood on it.

As if it was some kind of psychic contract, the scroll exploded in an instant.

Then Ji Xun and the others saw that a shadow of a soul appeared on the corpse?
What the enlightenment shows is the [Guardian Spirit of the Royal Family of Delan]?
Prince Sarn sat next to the corpse with a tired look on his face, muttering something piously.

A miraculous scene appeared.

The charging Hell Knight actually stopped and stopped chasing the guy.

Case solved.

When Ji Xun saw this scene, he suddenly thought: "So this is the method."

He had guessed from the clothes of the corpse that it was a princess of the Delan royal family.

Looking at it now, it really is.

It seems that there should be a love story between this royal princess and the epic hero Galen from a hundred years ago.

Although judging from the text on the tombstone, the princess was very dissatisfied with the royal family's actions.

And it seems that he died in love in this hero's mausoleum, sleeping with him.

But after all, he is a descendant of her own blood, and once the contract comes out, she has to protect him.

The princess chose to protect her. The monster had the will of the hero Galen, so naturally it would not harm her blood descendants.

But this method can only be used by Sarn.

Ji Xun had noticed the bones before and guessed that they would be the key to the plot.

But it’s best not to touch plot items that are too obvious.

At least don't be the first to touch it.

It's like Chujiu was the first one to get the Holy Grail, thanks to her strong ability to save lives.

If it were anyone else, he would have been shot to death by a monster.

It's the same now.

Except for the royal bloodline, the guardian spirit probably will not protect others.

Indiscriminate touching may also trigger other negative consequences.

"This is troublesome."

When Ji Xun saw this, his hope that the situation was most likely to be broken was shattered.

Prince Sarn's method can only save him.

And looking at this posture, when this person recovers, even if the outsiders like Ji Xun who covet the Holy Grail are not killed by the monster, the prince will definitely come down and help kill them.

The sudden change made the situation more urgent than before.

Prince Sarn found a chance to survive through a bug, and the battle among the others continued.

While Ji Xun was fighting, other thoughts in his mind were also thinking rapidly.

Tombstones, bones, statues, fields.
There are only a few known clues in the tomb.

"Since it is determined which test hero this is, it is definitely not just about being able to defeat disasters with strength, then what other conditions should there be? The battle tests 'force', and the domain represents 'inheritance'. The Holy Grail represents 'royalty', and the statue may represent 'justice' or 'human heroes'? So what do the bones represent, blood, family, and love?"

"No, the hero Galen's death should be related to the royal family's dishonorable methods. He may not have wanted to leave the Holy Grail to the Dran royal family, otherwise he wouldn't have hidden it in the mausoleum."

"What other conditions are needed?"

Ji Xun thought hard.

Now that it is confirmed that this barrier is to screen the identity of the person who took the Holy Grail, then it must be that those screening conditions must be met to pass the level.

"Force" and "inheritance" should be certain.

But if you want to meet these two conditions, you still have to defeat the disaster clone.

As for the "royal power" in the back, whoever can get the Holy Grail should be considered?

As for the "justice" represented by the statue, Ji Xun doesn't think he can be satisfied.

But if it represents a "hero" and he has the title of "Demon-Slaying Hero", maybe that's okay?
But where is the princess’s body?
It is absolutely impossible for such an important directional clue to have no meaning.

While Ji Xun was thinking hard, the eyes of Prince Sarn not far away were also observing everyone present.

He seemed to have almost recovered, and the murderous intent in his eyes gradually became more intense.

There is not much time left for Ji Xun and the others.

No one present could withstand an S-level disaster clone and a fourth-level knight joining forces to attack him.

The only good news is.

While typing, Ji Xun suddenly saw enlightenment: "You have understood 'Inciting the Fall of the Gods Lv0 (8/1000)'"

"It's done!"

Ji Xun was also happy when he saw Qidi appear.

Although his understanding of the previous battles was getting deeper and deeper, and he was less and less affected by the domain, he was still far behind.

It was at that moment that there was a sudden breakthrough.

It feels like learning to ride a bicycle while swaying all the time, and suddenly finding that delicate body balance point, and then being able to ride through the wind.

Ji Xun feels great!
It's like you are a flame, and if you are in the sea of ​​fire, the flames can no longer hurt you at all.

At least not for the second-level disaster in front of me!

At this moment, Ji Xun suddenly felt as light as a swallow, without the crushing feeling of fighting with a huge mountain on his back.

Just as the enlightenment lit up for a moment, the Hell Knight rushed over again.

Ji Xun looked at the corner of his mouth raised slightly and turned to the side easily!

Before, I had to deal with it with all my strength, so as not to be seriously injured by the strange gravity that I didn't know where it came from.

At this moment, he easily avoided the Hell Knight's charge.

And he could also slash the knight's horse's leg with a backhand slash, causing the disaster to fall to the ground!
"Hahaha, it's done!"

Seeing this, Ji Xun was overjoyed.

Although this knife did not cause any substantial damage to Calamity, the fallen Hell Knight stood up in the blink of an eye.

But this also means that this disaster is no longer a fatal threat to him.

And the most important thing is that when he comprehended this mysterious magic technique, the two conditions of "force" and "inheritance" have now been met!

but.

Ji Xun's excitement only lasted for a moment before he was overwhelmed.

At the moment, he can deal with his second-level S disaster, but it has not changed the situation at all.

Moreover, the Sarn prince obviously noticed his abnormality, and his eyes became even more gloomy.

The secret method of the royal family was learned by others, and this person has become the person he must kill.

Ji Xun obviously knew this very well and was always on guard.

But at this time, a sudden change shocked people.

Ji Xun understood the mysterious magic technique "Inducing the Gods to Fall" and was no longer affected by the strange gravity.

Everyone alive here is a master, and they have all discovered this.

But almost at the same time.

A figure suddenly rushed out.

The mushroom-headed Jia Yu, who had always been inconspicuous before, rushed straight to the Holy Grail and grabbed it!
"What is this guy doing?"

Ji Xun was also very surprised.

If you get the Holy Grail, you will be attacked by monsters!

And doesn’t the Holy Grail also have the Holy Flame of Royal Power, which ordinary people can take?

Just when he thought that Jia Yu had probably seen through some key clues, and perhaps wanted to break the situation.

Accident happened.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, as soon as Jia Yu's hand touched the Holy Grail, a dazzling white light suddenly lit up from the Holy Grail, and the flaming threads of the King's Power were burning.

Just like the hunchbacked old man before, this mushroom-headed hand was instantly burnt to a crisp.

And that's not all!
The moment he touched the Holy Grail, a fourth-level S-level Hell Knight appeared out of thin air and stabbed Jia Yu in the chest with one shot, piercing through.

But not everyone has the elemental body of Chujiu to save their lives.

This shot killed him instantly.

The corpse was hanging in the middle of the knight's gun, and blood was flowing all over the ground.

Seeing this scene, everyone present was shocked.

The worry and shock on the face of Prince Sarn in the distance instantly turned into a sneer. He thought he had met another guy who could ignore the sacred flame of royal power, but he didn't expect that he was just a clown.

Even Ji Xun's eyes widened when he looked at it: "Dead?"

He looked at the extraordinary characteristics overflowing from the corpse and confirmed that Jia Yu had become a corpse.

But just because he died so easily, Ji Xun found it incredible.

This guy looks suspiciously like a member of the "Thirteen Kamen Riders".
Such a top genius died like this?

Isn't that too rash?
wrong!

Ji Xun always felt that something was wrong.

This reckless behavior was not the same person as he knew Jia Yu.

as if
This guy seems to be sending some message with this reckless behavior.

however,
Before Ji Xun could think more about it, something unexpected happened to him again.

Seeing Jia Yu being killed, Chujiu didn't learn his lesson. He turned his eyes and rushed towards the Holy Grail as if he realized something!

Ji Xun saw her behavior which was also incomprehensible, and his eyes suddenly shrank: "She also wants to grab the Holy Grail? What on earth is she going to do?"

But at the same time, looking at the beautiful figure rushing away, that familiar tacit understanding came to my heart.

Ji Xun himself suddenly figured out something.

That guy Jia Yu may have found the key to breaking the situation!
