Bone King: Welcome the Birth of the King.

Chapter 486 "Hate" No Longer Exists, The Eye of Argos
There were no signs of a body remaining.

Even through the pierced chest, no blood gushed out; instead, the demon Hanzo, along with his entire body, vanished completely.

Sure enough?

It's that kind of special monster.

Platinum Armor thought to himself, and with a flash of light, the four weapons—a spear, a katana, a giant hammer, and a greatsword—that emitted a soft white glow flew back and circled around him.

The armor on the head rotates.

With eyes emitting a ghostly blue light, he gazed toward the location of absolute death.

"Long time no see, Miss Divine Woman of the Theocracy."

The platinum-armored man's calm voice rang out from inside the helmet, using a relatively gentle tone to convey that he had no hostility.

Inside the pit.

He lay sprawled on the ground, his spine and limbs completely destroyed, causing his hands to be pressed down on his body and swung back, while his legs were bent in a fractured state.

This pose has absolutely no aesthetic appeal; it's not even worthy of being described as pathetic!
"This guy... he's still alive!"

Jue Shi Jue Ming's face was grim, and there was even a hint of disbelief in it.

They should have used the "Dark God's" trump card to kill him completely, leaving not even a trace of his body.

How can resurrection magic bring someone back to life?
wrong!

Perhaps due to the long-term exposure to various information from the church, this led to the immediate and inadequate analysis.

Zesshi Zesshi quickly remembered that among resurrection magic, there existed "9th Rank - True Resurrection," which could resurrect without a corpse.

This information was given to her by Xiao Hei Fa.

Are there any faith-based magic chanters of this caliber within the "Reviewing Nation"?

strange!
Even resurrection magic of that level.

Strength will also decline, so why does the platinum armor in front of me seem to have no impact on strength, and even seem stronger than when we first met?
A sense of doubt began to creep into my heart!

Putting life and death aside for now, this is not the time to think about such things.

"Third-tier magic: Healing from Severe Injuries!"

"Desperate and hopeless," he murmured rapidly.

Swish!
A holy white light enveloped his entire body, healing his injuries. However, this level of healing magic would require several uses to fully restore his health.

Think of this!

Zesshi Zesshi paused, his heterochromatic eyes fixed on the slowly approaching platinum armor, his heart pounding.

She was ready to unleash her trump card at any time, should the enemy launch an attack.

She will immediately use "Unclean Impact Shield" to block the attack; if the distance is close enough, it's even better to knock it back.

Incidentally, summon the "Soul of Heroes" to resist the opponent and create time for healing.

"Little Black Hair! Demon Hanzo is dead!"

While treating himself, Zetsumei screamed anxiously inside:
"You said before that you'd leave that guy to me to deal with!"

"...Hmm, it seems something unexpected happened."

Tang Zheng's gentle voice echoed in Jueshi Jueshi's mind, "Be careful."

Hearing that familiar and still gentle, calm voice!
Zesshi Zesshi's anxiety and tension immediately dissipated, and he slightly grinned, revealing his sharp canines.

She knew the "information" hadn't been cut off.

However, even so,
Facing the platinum-armored figure who easily defeated Captain Godman and the entire "Dark Codex," and even Little Black Hair had to be on high alert, it would be a lie to say that he wasn't nervous.

Now, hearing Tang Zheng's voice and knowing that the other party had been monitoring this place, the panic and anxiety in my heart disappeared.

Snapped!
The platinum armor paused in its forward motion.

Standing on the ground with both feet dangling, deliberately maintaining a relatively safe distance from Zetsu Shitsumei, he stopped.

"Can you use healing magic?"

"Then I will not need to resort to treatment."

A flash of eerie blue light appeared in Bai Jinkai's eyes. He spoke again, proving his point through action:
“I have no hostility toward the divine lady of the Holy Kingdom.”

Healing magic?

warrior?

Is it a priest-warrior type? So, was the method used to kill that platinum armor also a priest-type move?

Platinum Armor analyzed the situation in his mind.

"Hehe~, the guy I killed once."

Zetsu no Misaki didn't hold back in exposing his weaknesses; despite his disheveled appearance, he still let out a cold "hehehe" laugh.
"Stop lying."

"I don't believe that someone would be without hostility after being killed. You're such a hypocrite."

The black-haired girl had previously assisted her.

This allowed her to master the true power of the Valkyrie. Throughout the process, she could clearly sense that Tang Zheng harbored no hostility and was even thinking of her best interests.

Even so!
Still unhappy after dying several times, Jue Si Jue Ming deliberately fought with Tang Zheng, although the result was quite tragic.

Jue Shi Jue Ming curled the corner of his mouth slightly.

The healing magic on his body had dissipated, so he continued to cast spells.

"Severe injury cured"

A holy white light enveloped his entire body once again.

now.

Platinum Armor was unharmed and could move freely, while Zesshi Zesshi was unable to move and was injured, putting him at a clear disadvantage.

This conversation seemed to reverse the power dynamic between the two sides, creating a slightly peculiar scene.

"...On a personal level, there is indeed hostility."

Platinum Armor paused for a moment, then spoke calmly: "I suppose your Slane Theocracy has already guessed my identity. I have rarely appeared since I joined the Council 200 years ago."

"If your theocracy hadn't intended to lift the seal on the 'Demon Tree,' I wouldn't have shown myself to stop it."

"It's only because you didn't stop there that we had no choice but to make a hostile choice."

"The Demon Tree has now been perfectly dealt with by your theocracy, and I presume it has been subdued by you? I deeply regret the conflict we had back then."

While probing with words, Bai Jinkai indicated that the root of the hostility stemmed from the handling of the "Demon Tree," which has now been resolved.

That "hostility" would then cease to exist.

"Ah la~"

The final syllable of "death" was deliberately drawn out. His upper body shuddered, and with the help of treatment, he regained feeling in his hands, using them to push himself up and sit up.
"So this is ah."

Jue Shi Jue Ming tilted his head, looking as if he had just realized something, while simultaneously flicking his wrist slightly to quickly regain control of his arm.

"Third-Tier Magic: Healing from Severe Wounds"

The holy healing light continued to radiate a soft glow, gradually gathering towards the legs and spine.

Whether you believe it or not.

"Regarding the issue of the Demon Tree, I express my gratitude on behalf of the heroes of the past."

At this moment, Bai Jinkai's tone was extremely sincere, perfectly embodying the image of an upright, selfless, fearless, and humble hero.
"Regarding the enemies who attacked you, you may not know, or you may have already guessed, but they were the subordinates of the evil Eight Desires Kings who once ravaged the continent."

"We share a common enemy—the [Floating City]!"

No further information about the Demon Tree could be obtained through changes in facial expressions or language.

Platinum Armor was slightly disappointed, but not too concerned, since the possibility of obtaining useful information through language alone was extremely low.

but!

Indeed, you can use Platinum Armor, who was once one of the 13 heroes, to close the gap with the opponent.

There was a "click".

A crisp sound rang out from the spine of the deadly being, and the entire back was now able to straighten completely, allowing the healing magic to continue to be cast.

"Ok."

Zesshi Zesshi licked his lips, tilted his head as if in thought, and asked, "What's your suggestion?" "In short, retreat first."

The platinum-armored figure turned its head, its deep blue eyes gazing at the vast, endless desert in the distance, its voice serious:
"We're almost at the southern desert."

Bai Jinkai glanced at Zeshi Zemei out of the corner of his eye; from the beginning until now, the other party had remained relatively calm.

What gave the other party confidence?
The pursuers from the theocracy still used the same powerful trump card as before.

The platinum armor appeared here to rescue Zesshi Zesshi, not just to prevent the [Floating City] from obtaining the power of the Elf King and Zesshi Zesshi, these two divine beings.

Further investigate intelligence on the Holy Kingdom!

Probe information about the "Magic Tree" to deduce the specific effects of that world-class item!
Analyzing the methods used by this female deity to destroy the platinum armor, if we could witness them firsthand, would provide further confirmation!
of course.

Not only that, there was also a probe into the [Floating City].

Next…

Platinum Armor remained silent, merely observing his surroundings warily, seemingly waiting for Zetsu Shitsumei's injuries to fully heal before leaving together.

Seeing this, Jueshi Jueshi didn't hold back and unleashed his full healing magic to heal his own injuries.

Time passed little by little.

Platinum Armor showed no sign of urgency.

Wow!
Zetsumei, who had been squatting on the ground, suddenly flipped over and nimbly leaped out of the pit, his figure flashing.

We've arrived at the spot where the monster Hanzo just died!

The cross-shaped scythe lay quietly on the ground.

After capturing Zetsu Zetsumei alive, the demon Hanzo also took this cross-shaped scythe with him.

Out of the corner of his eye, Bai Jinkai noticed Zesshi Zesshi's actions, and a feeling of regret rose in his heart once again.

The cold, metallic texture of the weapon, with its jet-black, three-clawed blade, even through a pair of remotely operated armor!

With his dragon's intuition about treasures, the Platinum Dragon King was still certain that this weapon must be one of the legacies of the "Six Great Gods".

These are weapons that humans could never forge!

In order to continue to get closer to this female deity as one of the Thirteen Heroes, he had to temporarily suppress his greed.

——Whoosh!

Jue Shi Jue Ming gripped the cross-shaped scythe, casually swung it, the blade slicing through the air with a sharp hiss, and then raised his wrist to rest it on his shoulder.

Having my weapons back, I feel much safer!

Only then did Jue Shi Jue Ming look at Bai Jin Kai again, his hostility dissipating considerably, and he began to trust the other party's previous words more.

At least!

The other party did not show any hostility from beginning to end.

"We withdraw."

Platinum Armor nodded before speaking.

Just as Zesshi Zesshi was about to respond, his expression froze, and he turned his head to look ahead.

huh-huh-

A chilling aura emanated from the warm area near the desert, immediately alerting people to the anomaly.

next moment!
A female figure emanating a chilling aura appeared in front of Zesshi Zesshi and Platinum Armor.

The extreme cold contrasted sharply with the warm surroundings, and under the influence of the temperature difference, it quickly transformed into a large amount of frost and white mist.

Frostborn Banshee Lv. 80!

This is a humanoid demi-human monster with translucent blue-green skin all over its body, through which frozen blood vessels can be seen, appearing faintly like crystals.

Her long hair was made of solidified ice silk, which swayed slowly in the windless environment, with faint ice crystals shimmering in the air.

"Location confirmed".

The Frostborn Banshee stared at Zesshi Zesshi and Platinum Armor with her deep, emotionless ice-blue eyes, thinking to herself.

At the same moment!

【Floating City】·Starry Sky Lookout.

"The divination location has been completed!"

"Construct a ranged magical attack!"

"Eye of Argos activated..."

"Startup complete, please evacuate!"

"..."

At the same moment, the Frostborn Banshee also received the message, and her figure instantly transformed into a cloud of white mist and disappeared.

The detection range of the [Floating City] can cover most of the southern desert, but areas outside the desert are not within the detection and attack range.

and so.

The Frostborn Banshee is needed for positioning.

From appearance to disappearance, the entire process takes less than 2 seconds.

Just as Zesshi Zesshi and Platinum Armor were on guard, they were visibly stunned as the Frostborn Banshee disappeared again.

hum - hum - hum -

In an instant.

Above the heads of Zesshi Zesshi and Platinum Armor, a huge magic circle appeared, followed by a smaller magic circle above it, and then another one appeared.

Three magic circles radiating blue light exuded terrifying magical energy.

"The attack begins!"

"Activate the [Frostscar Witch] class, skill simulation begins."

"Echoes of Winter" activated.

"Ice Blade Dance activated."

"Eternal Silence Blizzard activated."

Boom! !
First, a piercing roar, like something emerging from an abyss, descended from above, chilling people to the bone and restricting their movements.

Followed by!

Countless ice blades instantly condensed in mid-air, enveloping the Deathly Despair and the Platinum Armor below.

Strands of white, cold light crisscrossed in the air, transforming into deathly millstones!
Finally, a massive blizzard swept across the area, further amplifying the intensity of the first two attacks!

Looking from afar.

This warm area, which is close to the desert, has turned into a snowfield.

The magical light emanating from the three enormous magic circles in the sky gradually weakened until the magic circles completely dissipated!
The ground attack also ceased.

not far away.

Three figures appeared at the edge of the attack range.

"Is this the end?"

The Elf King raised his hand to his forehead, gazing at the snow-covered ground where the attack had left behind, a dramatic expression on his face:
"Hiss, that's terrifying!"

"I hope my lovely daughter isn't killed outright; I want to torture her properly."

"Oh, it doesn't matter if you die, as long as there's a corpse, you can be resurrected."

This is what he said.

There was no response from the other two figures.

The Elf King didn't seem to care, except that he stretched his neck even further.

On his left and right sides behind him were two Frostborn banshees.

boom! boom!
Two figures simultaneously broke through the hard snow and rushed out.
