Bone King: Welcome the Birth of the King.

Chapter 463 Guidance... Renas? Are you kidding me?

What does the Platinum Dragon King want to do?

Tang Zheng didn't know, and there was no point in spending more time speculating.

Whatever the purpose!
The National Council will take further action.

--now.

Tang Zheng and Jue Si Jue Ming had quietly left the hilly area and arrived at a manor outside the capital of the Kingdom of Li Yestijie.

The wind was biting cold.

The lawn in the courtyard was covered with a thick layer of snow that had melted and then frozen again, making the environment inside the manor quite desolate.

Several months ago, the estate was purchased by an unknown wealthy man, who was said to be a businessman.

Click!

Black boots stepped on the hardened snow, crushing the surface layer of glistening ice crystals.

"Whoo~"

Rena's nose was covered in hot sweat, which instantly turned into white steam in the cold air, and a few strands of golden hair on her forehead drifted away.

She bought the estate.

Because it did not employ any dedicated guards or servants, rumors circulated that it was purchased by a merchant.

As a native of the Bahars Empire, Reinas did not own any property in the kingdom and had previously lived in a luxury hotel.

Although the old king had granted her a house in the inner city of the capital, this was known to too many people, and she received invitations and banquets from noblemen and ladies every day.

She hated pointless banquets, so she bought an estate outside the capital and spent most of her time there.

Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Rena's eyes narrowed, and the black spear in her hand suddenly pierced the air, emitting a "whooshing" sound in the cold wind.

A thin layer of black, cursed energy covered the spear. As the spear tip tore through the air, the sturdy, heavy iron spear began to gradually disintegrate from the tip.

The border war in the fall.

This allowed her to break through to the "hero realm," resulting in a comprehensive enhancement in all aspects, including physical fitness.

Renas has been training recently to familiarize herself with the increased strength.

Click—snap—click!

A beautiful figure moved swiftly across the snow, brandishing a long spear, then suddenly paused, accompanied by a clear "click" sound.

Black iron spear!

In Renas's hands, it was like a thin, rusty sheet of inferior iron, breaking and scattering into iron slag in mid-air, falling to the ground.

"Even though my improvement in various aspects wasn't particularly significant, I unexpectedly felt that I could easily surpass my previous self."

A look of amazement appeared in Renas's eyes. She tossed the half-broken gun barrel to the ground and exhaled warm breath from her pink lips.
"Is this the realm of heroes?"

this time.

As she became more proficient with her own power, Renas felt more and more that she was able to defeat the Rotten Wolf thanks to her master.

Renas raised her slender arm, her emerald white fingers touching the pendant around her neck, the national treasure-level magical artifact known as the "Thorns of Fiery Hair".

"By the way, where did the half-elf go?"

Renas slightly raised her head, looking at the empty manor, and murmured to herself:
"Princess Lana has taken over 'Eight Fingers,' and our master should have reached an agreement with her. But where will this half-elf go?"

I have no worries.

The half-elf's departure was clearly related to his master, so there was no danger involved. What Lena was curious about was what her master had asked the half-elf to do.

The woman who had been secretly competing with her suddenly left.

Renas felt inexplicably lonely.

The master's whereabouts have always been elusive.

Currently, the information available from the Adventurers' Guild or the market concerns the location of the second Adamantite-rank adventurer team in the kingdom of [Free Will].

There have long been rumors of them being stationed in the Aberlein Hills.

The various demi-humans there held immense appeal for Tang, a "genius alchemist" who enjoyed using demi-human blood to research potions.

Rena knew.

Given the owner's personality and habits, this kind of information is completely worthless.

The owner isn't the type to stay in one place for long!
"……Owner."

Renas's deep blue eyes gleamed. She raised her hand and pulled the golden ponytail tied behind her back to the front, her gaze fixed on the hair ribbon on the ponytail, thinking to herself:
"What are you thinking? What secret do you have?"

The elegant black hairband was a gift Tang gave her on last year's "celebration day".

Swish-!
Suddenly.

Two figures appeared out of thin air in the courtyard. The original air was compressed into an invisible wave of air that spread out and condensed into an invisible vortex, blowing up the surrounding snowflakes.

Tiny white ice crystals drifted and spread in all directions!
Renas tensed up, adopting a defensive posture. When she clearly saw one of the two figures that appeared, her deep blue eyes shone.

"host……."

Just as Reina was about to speak, she suddenly remembered that there were outsiders present, and without knowing the specifics of the situation, she swallowed back the word "master" that was on her lips.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the girl next to Tang Zheng, who looked to be only about fifteen or sixteen years old.

His hair is black and white, and even his eyes are heterochromatic, the same color as his hair!
A strange girl!
This was the only assessment that Lena could make in her mind.

"Congratulations, Renas, you have finally stepped into the 'Hero's Realm' that countless people dream of."

Tang Zheng smiled gently at Renas, his gaze sweeping over the shattered black iron spear on the snow to the side, and praised:
"Even my control over curses has become stronger."

Based on the current situation.

He speculated that Renas's [Cursed Knight] skill should have been upgraded to level 2.

Heroic Realm?

Zesshi Zesshi curled her lip in disdain. She had noticed Reina the moment she was teleported here.

His breathing was pitifully weak.

This meager power is qualified to join the Dark Codex, but that's where it ends.

"Hey, hey, we're not here to reminisce."

Zetsuki raised his head, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and protested as he reminded him:
"Didn't you say you wanted to enhance my power? How did you end up here?"

As Jue Si Jue Ming spoke, he glanced around and realized that this was clearly just an ordinary manor, without even basic guards or servants.

This resulted in a sense of desolation and loneliness throughout the manor.

"Yes."

Tang Zheng turned his head to look at Jue Shi Jue Ming, who had a disdainful and bored expression, and said, "The person in front of you is the one who taught you first."

ha?
Zesshi Zesshi stared with his heterochromatic black and white eyes, raised his head, and looked at Tang Zheng as if to say, "Are you kidding me?"

Hearing the message relayed by Tang Zheng and the other person.

Renas seemed to realize that the girl, Zesshi Zesshi, was someone her master had discovered who possessed considerable talent.

Therefore, it is planned that she will be the one to teach.

If that's the case, then they wouldn't be considered outsiders.

“Master, I have no experience in teaching others.”

Reinas remained serious and did not refuse. Instead, she replied firmly, "I am my master's knight, and I will do my best to fulfill all of my master's orders."

"Please rest assured, Master, I will teach her with all my heart."

Speaking of it.

The usually aloof Renas forced a smile at Zetsu Shitsumei, expressing a sense of closeness.

"Shut up!!"

Zetsuki suddenly turned his head, his pair of striking heterochromatic eyes filled with murderous intent:
"You piece of trash, believe me or not I'll slap you to death!"

boom!
A strong killing intent and a terrifying aura were released!

An invisible, terrifying pressure field instantly formed. In Renas's vision, the diminutive girl's figure seemed to suddenly grow enormous. The surrounding air distorted so much that she couldn't even make out her appearance!

A chilling feeling that penetrated to the very core surged into my heart!

Renas broke out in a cold sweat in an instant, and even her breathing became uncontrollable, as if a deathly shadow was about to engulf her.

at this moment.

Renas felt that she was no longer facing an ordinary girl, but an indescribable and invincible monster.

What exactly happened...?

I am a hero who has stepped into the "Hero's Realm"!

why?
Why……

Renas's mind went blank, her whole body stiffened, and she, as a hero, didn't even have the courage or the ability to resist.

This is only due to the influence of the opponent's aura!
"You're the one who should shut up."

A familiar yet powerful and gentle voice came through.

The terrifying atmosphere and pressure vanished completely in an instant.

"Huh, huh."

Renas regained consciousness from her stiff body, gasping for breath. Her shoulders swayed, and she staggered to her knees.

Tick ​​tock!

Tick ​​tock!

Sweat dripped down his face and chin, wetting the snow layer on the ground.

Renas slowly raised her head and saw that her master had one hand pressed on the head of the terrifying girl.

"Don't be so arrogant."

Tang Zheng pressed down on Jueshi Jueshi's head with one hand, his black and white hair covering his fingers, and coldly reminded him:
"I wasn't joking. Being strong doesn't necessarily mean having a good understanding of the profession, skills, knowledge, awareness, beliefs, and so on."

“You are stronger than the weaklings you speak of. You are only strong because you have superior bloodline.”

Feeling the warm palm pressing on the top of my head.

Zesshi Zesshi's nape trembled almost imperceptibly, and an unnatural blush appeared on her displeased cheeks.

"—Let go of my hand!"

Desperately resisting Tang Zheng's hand, Jue Si Jue Ming's usual deliberately sweet tone vanished, replaced by a slightly unnatural, loud protest:
"Do you know how much effort it took to style this hair?"

He clearly looked annoyed.

Jue Si Jue Ming only protested verbally; he neither shook off Tang Zheng's hand nor knocked it away.

not far away.

Rena's deep blue eyes stared blankly at the person opposite her.

That terrifying, monstrous girl, though she screamed and yelled in front of her master, was just like a normal girl.

Such a monster...

Rena's lips trembled slightly, and her fair swan neck twitched a few times.

In the world's normal understanding, the only thing capable of subduing a monster is another, even more terrifying one.

"She is my knight."

Tang Zheng spoke solemnly, simultaneously raising the hand that had been pressing down on Zesshi Zetsumei's head:
"Furthermore, as your next mentor, even if I cannot be your true teacher, you must still show me the appropriate respect, Miss Zetsu."

Tang Zheng somewhat agrees with Jue Si Jue Ming's "hair theory".

I remember when I was in school in my past life.

"Hair" is probably the most taboo subject, as it represents a deep-seated resentment.

The Deathly Deity is over 200 years old. According to the Elven bloodline, she is actually not that old. Women at this age probably like to dress up.

Tang Zheng felt that he needed to show some respect in this regard.

"Oh my~, that Rei, Rei..."

Zesshi Zesshi's voice became sweet and light again, it was hard to tell whether she had really forgotten Renas's name or was deliberately dragging it out.

"Lenas!"

"Oh, Renas, I didn't mean to just now."

End of episode.

Renas and Zesshi Zesshi stood on the training ground.

"Renas, just use the power of the Cursed Knight to attack this Miss Death with all your might."

Tang Zheng stood not far away and gestured, reminding him again:
"Miss Death, you are not allowed to dodge or counterattack any of Renas's attacks from now on."

"I understand."

Zesshi Zetsumei waved her hand dismissively, the absolute difference in strength leading her to believe that Reinas couldn't possibly hurt her: "Attack without restraint."

"I see."

Renas exhaled, her gaze gradually hardening.

value!
It has always been the thing she values ​​most.

Having stepped into the "Hero's Realm," Renas believed that she had finally reached the same level as her master.

Now I realize it was just ridiculous self-righteousness!

For such a short time, she felt lost and powerless, feeling like her so-called "guardian knight."

Does it really have any value?

Then...

An unwilling spirit broke through the confusion.

—Then show your greater value, Renas!

"I'm going to fuck!"

Renas raised her black spear, roared, and her golden ponytail danced in the air like a golden streak of light as she charged towards Zetsuki Zetsumei:
"Dark Wave!"

A dark, curse-like power, like a thick fog, erupted from Renas's body, forming black energy that swept across Zesshi Zesshi.

The black spear, enveloped in cursed energy, transformed into sharp black starlight!

"what?"

The previously lazy look in Zesshi Zesshi's eyes changed slightly, and the black energy caused her body to stiffen.

Methods that obstruct movement?

boom!
The black spear stabbed fiercely into Jue Si Jue Ming's chest.

In Zetsumei's eyes, what was not a particularly powerful attack generated an explosive force the moment it touched her body.

Since there was nothing blocking it, it was entirely borne by the body.

Shaking~
Zesshi Zesshi leaned back slightly, took two steps back, used his left foot to stop himself, and looked down at his chest.

The clothes at the chest were torn, revealing the fair skin underneath, and there was a clear red mark where the weapon had struck!

"It hurts a little."

Zetsuki suddenly looked up, staring at Renas, a smile curving his lips: "Interesting!"

Unscathed!

Rena's pupils trembled: "Monster."

"Continue." A gentle voice came from not far away.

Renas gritted her teeth, threw away the ordinary metal spear that was already cracked, and picked up the weapon she had prepared beforehand.

Whoosh!
Renas moved again, continuously using the power of curses to attack Zesshi Zesshi.
