Bone King: Welcome the Birth of the King.

Chapter 485 We Must Not Let the Filth Succeed; Platinum Armor Deployed

The Platinum Dragon King's breathing became long and drawn out.

That's how it happened.

Ligulite looked at the Platinum Dragon King, who was deep in thought, and she could sense the slightly heavy atmosphere in the air.

She always believed that as long as she didn't limit herself, the guy in front of her was the strongest being in the world.

"I didn't expect that just one piece of news would make you care so much."

Ligurette had calmed down by now, reverting to her usual teasing tone, and spoke in a relaxed manner:
"Is it the [Floating City]? Or that divine girl you care about? Or perhaps..."

The Platinum Dragon King replied directly, "Both."

Ligulite was taken aback, probably not expecting the Platinum Dragon King to respond so bluntly.

but!

This isn't necessarily bad news for her.

"The incident happened somewhat suddenly."

A deep sense of memory and doubt flashed in the Platinum Dragon King's amber vertical pupils:
"But why would the [Floating City] capture the divine beings of the Theocracy? Yes—capture? Not kill?"

"According to your account, the three people who took action had the opportunity and the ability to do so."

"What I mean is, old friend, are you sure you're not seeing things?"

now,

The Platinum Dragon King felt far more astonishment than surprise.

It had fought against that female deity from the theocracy. Although there was no direct combat, the other party possessed powerful techniques far beyond its current comprehension.

Um... okay.

Even if there was an element of enemy surprise attack, it still cannot explain why the [Floating City], which had been inactive for nearly 200 years, would suddenly act strangely and capture the divine beings of the theocracy.

"Disposable magic item!"

A look of sadness crossed Ligurt's aged face, followed by a chilling glint of malice and hatred in her eyes:
"And...that strange race with their ninja attire, I'm absolutely certain! It's them!"

"You haven't forgotten, have you?"

"After Captain Rick's death, the [Floating City] dispatched a large number of those monsters to search for the captain's body... No!"

Ligulite shifted her gaze to a peculiar longsword weapon deep within the hall, prominently displayed and occasionally emitting a faint glow.

"Not only the search team leader, but also that weapon!"

"For those monsters from the [Floating City], losing their God-King's weapon is bound to drive them mad!"

"That's why, even though everyone has already completed the campaign and achieved heroic feats, and could have returned to their respective hometowns."

"Accepting the worship of one's own people or one's own country, clearly... clearly..."

Ligurit's voice trembled slightly, and even though her aged face was covered in wrinkles, it couldn't hide the anger and hatred in her voice.
"The Cursed Demon, the Short Beard, the Great Wind Axe, Ayu... and many other heroes..."

"Old friend."

The Platinum Dragon King spoke slowly, his eyes filled with nostalgia and sorrow: "It's been a long time, hasn't it?"

“In the more distant War of the Eight Desire Kings, countless of my people died. This was not a disaster for an individual or a race.”

"—It is a catastrophe and a lament for the entire world."

"Feel sorry."

Ligurit lowered her head, seemingly to conceal her emotions, then raised it again, her expression returning to normal.
"Neither you nor I want to talk about what happened back then, but I still owe you a debt of gratitude for saving me."

"We are friends," the Platinum Dragon King's massive body uttered in a gentle voice.

Ligurt's wrinkles twitched, a fleeting look of emotion crossed her face, before she quickly regained her composure.

"Even if you say that, there are some things I don't agree with your approach to."

Li Guli spoke calmly, then changed the subject and began to analyze:
"The fact that the divine beings of the Holy Kingdom were captured alive in a sneak attack shows that the people of the [Floating City] have been lying in wait for a long time."

"I don't know why they did this, but I can deduce one thing: that female deity is either of special status or of great value to the [Floating City]."

The Platinum Dragon King nodded slightly; it was also able to think of this.

In an instant!
Images of intelligence gathered over this period, and even going back several years or decades, kept flashing through my mind.

For ordinary races, some memories become blurred over time, but dragons do not experience this phenomenon that is only found in inferior creatures.

A large amount of intelligence is being continuously collected and analyzed!
finally!
A recent piece of information came to mind, vaguely connecting to the events unfolding before me.

Elf King!!

White light burst forth from the Platinum Dragon King's dragon eyes.

Several months ago, the Slane Theocracy and the Elf Kingdom suddenly went to war. According to the intelligence gathered, the Elf King was defeated and fled.

It was initially skeptical about this matter!

nowadays.

Connecting the dots of what is happening now, the possibility that the Elf King has escaped becomes extremely high, and then thinking back to more than 100 years ago!
The relationship between the Slane Theocracy and the Elven Kingdom suddenly deteriorated, and the intelligence gathered by spies over the past few centuries was still incomplete!

But at this moment!
In the mind of the Platinum Dragon King, however, it suddenly became clear.

"That female deity..."

"Possesses the bloodline of the Elf King, which is also the bloodline of the Eight Desire Kings!"

The Platinum Dragon King was startled and immediately guessed the purpose of the [Floating City].

We must not allow this vile force to grow any stronger!!

"Old friend, thank you for your hard work on this matter," the Platinum Dragon King said sincerely.

It's a bit of a pity!
If Ligurit hadn't returned immediately but had followed, she might have been able to further investigate the power of the Slane Theocracy.

Of course, it is extremely dangerous.

"So I hope you can give that matter serious consideration."

Ligurit didn't pay attention to the gratitude, but spoke seriously:
"The Floating City is our enemy, and also the enemy of the Slan Theocracy. I believe that nowadays, there is a basis for cooperation between the Council and the Slan Theocracy."

"There is no need to continue this war between the kingdom and the empire!"

After a while.

Ligurt turned and left, her expression noticeably more relaxed than when she first entered, probably having gotten the answer she wanted.

After seeing Ligulite completely depart, the Platinum Dragon King had a thought.

The platinum armor placed to one side immediately emitted a soft white light, and the eye area of ​​the helmet even lit up with a blue glow.

"World Teleport!"

The figure in the platinum armor vanished instantly.

Mid-Water Month, February 2nd.

Several days have passed.

The monster Hanzo, still carrying the ultimate weapon, traversed the entire "Ivanshah Great Forest" and headed towards the southern desert.

The further south you go.

The cold weather gradually subsided, and the temperature rose.

Half-person-high shrubs and trees sprouting green buds appeared before my eyes, a lush green expanse, and the black afterimage of the demon Hanzo swiftly traversed through the green sea.

Wherever I go!
Click——click——

Broken branches and leaves from the trees were flying everywhere.

Unable to dodge in time, the towering, enormous brown bear monster blocked the path of the monster Hanzo and was sliced ​​in two with a single blow, its blood and entrails shooting into the air.

It stained the grass and the ground covered with decaying leaves red.

Wow!
Rustling!

The branches of various shrubs and trees, like sharp whips and blades, lashed out rapidly at the fleeing demons Hanzo and Zetsumei. However, this level of damage had no effect on them.

"asshole!!"

Jue Si Jue Ming's furious cursing and the violent shaking from running at high speed made her head feel dizzy.

Just thinking about the terrible state I was in when I was ambushed!
Jueshi Jueshi felt an indescribable sense of frustration and rage, wanting to vent it and break free from his restraints, but his body remained motionless.

Not only my body, but I've completely lost all feeling in my limbs!

The phrase "absolute death" is very clear.

His spine and limb joints were all damaged by the monster Hanzo in front of him, which caused him to lose control of his body.

Solving this problem is not difficult.

Zesshi Zesshi possesses healing magic and can heal these injuries on his own.

only!
"When will this end?!" Jue Si Jue Ming responded almost like a roar in his heart.

"It'll be soon, just be patient."

Tang Zheng's helpless voice rang out, "Don't worry, you'll handle this guy named Hanzo."

"you said!"

"kindness."

A slight silence,

"Was it really the legendary [Floating City] that made the move?" An incredulous voice came from within Jueshi Jueshi's heart.

"That's right, what's wrong, scared?"

"Why would I be afraid, little black-haired boy!"

"..."

"..."

Under a large tree in the "Ivanshweh Great Forest".

Captain Shenren sat on the thick, blackened tree root that had just emerged from the soil to rest, occasionally looking up towards the south.

At another location, three kilometers away.

Tang Zheng remained invisible, receiving the information about absolute death and certain death transmitted from his shadow clone.

The one transmitting "information" to Zesshi Zesshi was not Tang Zheng's main body, but a summoned shadow clone.

This is to prevent unexpected detection!
Tang Zheng, Captain Shenren, and Shadow Clone are located in different parts of the "Ivanga Forest".

In short.

Caution is necessary.

"We're about to leave the area of ​​the Great Tree Sea."

As Tang was marveling at how fast the monster mercenaries could run, his eyes turned serious and cold: "It's about time... we should prepare to make our move."

He's been waiting until now, but he hasn't made a move!

The purpose was to determine whether the [Floating City] and the Platinum Dragon King would take any further action.

At least so far.

Tang Zheng didn't find anything unusual, so he had to deal with the demon Hanzo before he stepped into the southern desert.

According to the intelligence gathered from the Elf King,

The area of ​​the Southern Desert far exceeds the combined territory of the Kingdom and the Empire, and the [Floating City] is located above "Eluneteyo" in the heart of the desert.

Tang Zheng didn't think that the [Floating City]'s detection capabilities could cover the entire Southern Desert, but he also didn't intend to enter the other party's territory.

Time passes little by little!

According to Tang Zheng's perception, Zesshi Zesshi, who bears the mark of "magic mark", is about to leave the forest.

at the same time!

The figure in platinum armor hovered in the sky at the border of the Ivanshah Great Forest and the Southern Desert, its deep blue eyes gazing down.

A bird's-eye view from high above.

A blurry, ant-like figure appeared in the field of vision.

Whoosh!
"found it!"

The figure in the platinum armor paused for a moment, then transformed into a silver-white meteor, plummeting rapidly downwards from the sky.

Deep in the forest.

Just as Tang Zheng was about to activate the teleportation spell, the sound of Jue Si Jue Ming activating the "magic mark" interrupted his casting.

"what happened?"

Something's coming from the sky!

Tang Zheng was taken aback and subconsciously looked up at the sky, but saw nothing, which was normal.

He was deep in the forest, a vast sea of ​​trees unlike a small forest, so he couldn't see the Deathly Demise. The area above him was...

Tang Zheng had a sudden thought.

The shadow clone hidden in another direction immediately sprang into action, abandoning the "teleport" spell and instead using "flight," quickly heading towards the border of the Great Tree Sea!
Simultaneously.

Tang Zheng continued to maintain contact with Jue Si Jue Ming.

Rumble!
A streak of silvery-white light crashed into the path of the demon Hanzo, instantly creating a large crater and producing a tremendous roar.

Dust billowed into the sky!
The ground shook.

The demon Hanzo abruptly stopped, and before he could react, a silver spear pierced through the smoke and flew towards him.

This attack was extremely fast!

In his normal state, the monster Hanzo could naturally hide.

Having run for so long, their stamina was affected, and the weight of the sudden stop, combined with the force of the sudden braking, made their dodging movements a full beat slower!
Swish!
Just as the silver spear was about to strike, the demon Hanzo suddenly turned into a black afterimage, disappearing on the spot like black mist.

"Shadowless Kill"

In the blink of an eye.

The demon Hanzo, carrying the ultimate weapon, appeared as if by teleportation, about ten meters to his left and front.

Whoosh!

The platinum armor flew out of the smoke and dust, and the other three weapons surrounding it also flew out at the same time, blocking the three directions of the demon Hanzo.

Whoosh!
Another sound of wind breaking through the air.

The silver spear that had been dodged now spun around in mid-air and thrust back.

The demon Hanzo, who had just regained his safety, suddenly found himself in a perilous situation again. This was clearly an attack that had been planned in advance!

"It's you?!"

Jue Shi Jue Ming's eyes widened as he saw the figure intercepting him, revealing surprise and astonishment.

The monster Hanzo turned his head, and the curtain in front of him was lifted, revealing a pale face with bloodshot eyes.

Press your legs down!

They wanted to take cover, but all four directions were blocked off.

Bang!
In the moment when the monster Hanzo was stunned, he was struck by four weapons at the same time: a spear, a katana, a giant hammer, and a greatsword, which pierced through his body.

There were no screams.

Only a silent struggle remained; the monster Hanzo's body twisted and vanished into shadow.

"Plop!"
Jue Si Jue Ming fell to the ground, tumbling several times along the uneven surface. Due to the loss of control over its limbs, its body was in a bizarre posture.
