Bone King: Welcome the Birth of the King.

Chapter 491 Guild Weapon "Twelve Trials - Maxims" - Unleashed
A large amount of treasure, ore, and magical items.

They vanished like flowing water, and Tang Zheng didn't bother to use "prop appraisal" to check them; he simply took them all.

There may be some risks involved!

No one can predict whether the Platinum Dragon King mixed any of these items with primordial magic techniques that left behind "magical imprints".

If these things can be located, they will become a hot potato.

but.

Tang Zheng wasn't worried. By the time he realized the problem, he had already transferred these items to a world-class item.

Even with the rank of Primal Magic, it is impossible to locate a World-Class Item!

The two mandalas emitted golden Buddhist light, shimmering within the enormous cylindrical palace, causing mountains of gold coins and ores to vanish.

--until.

A longsword, about half a person's height, lay silently in the ground, without any change.

"found it!"

Tang Zheng paused in his act of collecting, then quickly stepped forward in surprise.

Compared to those ornate sword-type magical artifacts, this longsword is not particularly flashy; in fact, it appears rather understated!
The blade is not made of metal, but rather a solidified, translucent gray shadow as thin as a cicada's wing, with fine, irregular glass-like cracks covering its surface.

It looks like it would shatter at the slightest touch!
The hilt has a very strange design. It is not made of a single metal, but is made of different openwork metals such as dark gold, dark green, silver white, bronze, and jet black, which makes people feel dizzy.

The patterns are even more complex, with patterns of various monsters such as giant lions, hydras, wild boars, strange birds, and does intertwined, releasing a dark golden light.

Tang Zheng could vaguely observe that among the many monster patterns, the pattern of one monster would occasionally vibrate slightly.

The design of the sword can be described as "complex and gorgeous". It is more of a work of art than a weapon!

He stretched out his arm and grasped the hilt of the sword.

Swish!
The longsword was drawn, as light as a feather, as if it were an extension of the air. The thin, gray blade sliced ​​through the air without making a sound.

In an instant!
The surrounding light, drawn by the longsword, focused entirely on Tang Zheng, making him stand out brilliantly against the darker surroundings.

At the same time, within the distorted, dim light around them, the phantoms of various monsters, such as giant lions, hydras, and strange birds, appeared.

The roars and screams of these monsters could be faintly heard, along with the fleeting glimpses of their eerie green eyes, emanating an unsettling aura!
"So this is the guild weapon...?"

Tang Zheng gripped the longsword, and a dazzling scene, like a cutscene, appeared around him, leaving him both astonished and clearly sensing the sword's amplification.
"All attributes have been increased? That's an incredible boost!"

"Item Appraisal!"

…………

Item: Twelve Trials - Proverbs
Level: Guild Weapon (91~100)

limit:?

Effect:?

introduce:?

…………

I subconsciously used the tool to identify the person, but apart from knowing their name, I couldn't find any useful information.

Tang Zheng glanced at the attribute panel.

I can see that all my attributes have been improved, but I'm not sure if this counts as the full state of the guild weapon.

He wasn't a member of the [Floating City] guild after all, so even if he used it as a weapon, aside from its inherent traits and passive effects, he probably couldn't use its other abilities.

not to mention.

The power of "guild weapons" lies not in the "weapons" themselves, but in the "guild"!
"The Twelve Trials: Proverbs, that name..."

"I see."

Tang Zheng saw the information displayed by the appraisal results, and a look of realization flashed in his eyes:
"No wonder there are images of various monsters on the weapons."

In ancient Greek mythology, Heracles, the son of Zeus and the mortal Alcmene, underwent twelve difficult tasks to atone for his sins, which are also known as the "Twelve Trials".

These tasks include defeating the Nemea Lion, slaying the Hydra, capturing the Cerynea Mountain Doe, and capturing the Erymanthos Boar alive, among others.

This guild weapon was clearly forged according to the legendary "Twelve Trials" myth.

Tang Zheng then thought of the Eight Desire Kings, who liked to call themselves God Kings and even named their son, the dragon-man Ladon, after ancient Greek mythology.

"The way these players build their harems is really reminiscent of ancient Greece."

Tang Zheng mentally complained, took out a leaf from the Demon Tree from the item box, and wrapped it around the guild weapon "Twelve Trials: Proverbs".

This sword looks thin and light, but its blade is actually extremely sharp, and ordinary scabbards and objects cannot even touch it.

It's because items of this caliber can't be stored away.

As the hand moved away from the sword hilt, the monstrous phantom, both sacred and terrifying, vanished.

Because magical items can change size according to the user's body shape, "Twelve Trials: Proverbs" has now become a normal size.

Tang Zheng then took out the corresponding rope, tied the guild weapon to his back, and put on a loose black magic robe.

That way, it won't be noticeable from the outside.

Next!

All the valuables in the main hall were collected into the world-class artifact.

"...Is this the end?"

Tang Zheng couldn't help but lick the corner of his mouth.

The acquisition of guild weapons of immeasurable value, coupled with such a vast amount of treasure, represents the greatest gain since the transmigration.

As the saying goes, "Know when to stop!"
At this point, we should quickly extricate ourselves from this abrupt three-way chaos, continue to hide, and secretly plot using the guild weapons of the [Floating City].

This should be the safest and most reliable method!
--but.

The Floating City and the Platinum Dragon King are not fools. Once the event is over and the situation is re-examined, they will inevitably find some inconsistencies.

"and……"

A hint of resentment appeared on Tang Zheng's face: "How can I only take one guild weapon when such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is here!"

The true value of guild weapons lies in the [Floating City]!
Tang Zheng was not a guild member, and the weapon had more symbolic value than practical use in his hands; he was indeed unable to use it.

But there is one person who can use it.

Enferea!

"Higher-level teleportation!" Tang Zheng's figure vanished instantly, leaving behind only an empty underground palace large enough for a mouse to run through.

Floating City

A loud, muffled thud.

Leoric Zhen pushed open the heavy door and strode into the top floor of the "Starshine Watchtower," his entire body exuding a terrifying, man-eating aura.

The air around him was affected by his excessive anger, with faint blue electric flashes.

"Master Guardian!"

"Master Guardian!"

"Master Guardian!"

"...!"

In the somber atmosphere of the room, the group of leaders and the monster mercenaries immediately bowed respectfully.

"Lord Leoric Zhen".

"Butler" Imralis turned around, his face pale and ashamed as he bent over.

"I have no interest in your boring formalities. Tell me right now, what's going on?"

Leoric Zhen waved his hand, abruptly interrupting the scene, his fierce gaze fixed on the pitch-black "crystal screen" suspended in mid-air.
"Where's the picture? Why can't I see anything?!" *Slap!*
"Butler" Imralis raised his head and replied seriously, "Guardian, the battlefield is outside the covered area."

"We can only observe remotely using magical detection methods, but not long ago, the enemy seemed to have unleashed a wide-range attack spell."

"The invisible eye has been damaged, causing the image to be interrupted. New detection methods have now been restarted."

"...This will take time."

Leoric Zhen's rugged eyebrows furrowed, and his muscles, as if from an ancient Greek statue, twitched a few times as he said in a deep voice, "Where's the support?"

"Based on information sent back by the monsters at the front."

"Butler" Imralis spoke with a grim expression, as if he wanted to tear the enemy to pieces:
"They were all blocked by an unknown barrier and could not enter the battlefield."

As soon as these words came out!
Leoric Zhen's aura turned cold.

He thought of the True Dragon Kings who had been slaughtered by the Supreme God-Kings and had caused them great trouble.

“Primal magic!” Leoric Shock uttered.

Only this kind of power can accomplish such a thing.

"Yes, Lord Guardian."

The "butler," Imralis, nodded respectfully, a look of worry in his eyes.

Lord Gros Horned Wrath is clearly going to face an attack from a true dragon king all by himself; this is a targeted encounter!
"Hahaha."

Leoric Zhen burst into laughter, but his laughter carried a chilling intent that penetrated to the very marrow of his bones.
"The wine made with the blood of the true Dragon King is the one I can never forget."

"A bunch of fish that slipped through the net, they deserve to die!"

All the surrounding monster mercenaries lowered their heads in fear.

"This shouldn't be an accident, right?"

Leoric Zhen took a deep breath, suppressing his anger. He felt that it was all full of coincidences.

"There is indeed a possibility of unexpected events."

The "butler," Imralis, kept thinking, connecting the recent events in his mind one by one:
"But I think it's more like a premeditated operation by the True Dragon King's side."

Elven heirs, the Slane Theocracy, platinum armor, guild weapon clues, and more—all these connect together.

The "butler" Imralis was startled, increasingly convinced that this was a conspiracy!
"Lord Leoric Zhen".

"Butler" Imralis seemed to have thought of something, and his expression became increasingly solemn and serious: "This may be a scheme that has lasted for hundreds of years."

Leoric Zhen turned his head and looked over intently.

"Is such that!"

"It was because of the appearance of the elven heir that the demon mercenaries were dispatched to investigate, which led to the discovery of the war between the Kingdom of Slian and the Elven Kingdom that had lasted for hundreds of years."

"Furthermore, Lord Gros Hornfury conceived the idea of ​​probing further."

"Butler" Imralis quickly explained the situation: "Next, it's related to the clues about the guild weapons, the appearance of that platinum armor, and this whole situation is interconnected..."

"A wise strategist has emerged in the True Dragon King's camp!"

This is undoubtedly the most troublesome type of enemy.

Whether the Elf King had problems or was being manipulated is no longer relevant!

This speculation reveals an important piece of information.

The Slane Theocracy, which inherited the power of the Six Great Gods, has very likely reached a cooperation agreement with the True Dragon King's side.

The war with the Elf Kingdom, which has lasted for over a century, was also a show of weakness to let them test the waters with their [Floating City], in preparation for today's surprise attack.

This is incomprehensible to a short-lived species!

But in the eyes of the immortal species, there is no problem with this plan that has lasted for a hundred years.

Leoric Zhen also considered this point. If that were the case, then the enemy would probably not be just a single dragon king.

Swish!
The image reappeared on the crystal screen.

Leoric Zhen was the first to look, and what came into view was a large number of monsters blocked outside the barrier. He readjusted his angle and looked into the barrier.

The image is blurry!

The barrier of the "World Separation Barrier" also prevented the invisible eye from entering, allowing only a barely visible view of two figures engaged in battle.

Suddenly.

The atmosphere became tense.

In the blurry image, a third figure bursts in.

Leoric Zhen and "Butler" Imralis felt their hearts sink completely, and the idea of ​​preparing a resurrection ritual began to surface in their minds.

The newly appeared third figure was clearly not one of theirs!
—The border of the southern desert.

In the battlefield.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

Gros Hornfury looked utterly wretched, his entire body stained crimson with blood. He was striking a magical artifact called a war drum, continuously casting a buff upon himself.
"Eagle Overlooking"

A phantom image of a demon, resembling a hawk, flashed past him.

Gros Horn's evasion and movement speed increased further, and his goat-like face revealed a fearless and hateful expression.
"Crawler! If you want to kill me, you'll have to pay a heavy price!!"

Whizzing--

Gros Hornfury wielded a weapon shaped like a goat's horn, moving so fast that several afterimages appeared as he continuously swung it around the Platinum Dragon King.

Despite being nearing the limit of his physical strength, he continued his frantic attacks in mid-air!

This is a dance called destruction.

"The will of the God-Kings endures forever!"

Gros Horn roared furiously, determined to perish together with any enemy who dared to offend the majesty of the [Floating City].

"reptile?"

"You are the vermin that pollute this world!"

Despite its enormous size, the Platinum Dragon King displayed terrifying agility, tearing the sky apart with its claws and unleashing catastrophic gales with its tail.

In the reflection of the golden slits in his eyes, Gros Horned Fury was barely clinging to life!

"go to hell!"

The Platinum Dragon King's body trembled, primordial magic surged, and he opened his mouth:
"Primal Magic: Metal Shard Storm!"

Numerous sharp, platinum-colored metal fragments, like shotgun pellets, launched a wide-range attack, tearing through the air with a piercing sound.

Like thousands of bees vibrating their wings and producing a huge buzzing sound, the magic contains a negative effect that affects the enemy's hearing!
No matter how fast Gros Horned was moving, he had no way to avoid this area-of-effect attack, and a hint of resentment appeared in his eyes.

Damn it!
As an assault-type warrior, the Dragon King, with its high defense and health, is his nemesis. From the start of the battle until now, he has not been able to inflict any significant damage on the Platinum Dragon King.

Swish!
Suddenly, ripples appeared in the air.

A figure clad in a black magic robe appeared out of thin air in front of Gros Hornfury.

Who?
Who?
Platinum Dragon King and Gros Horned Wrath were both startled.

"Magic Without Incantation - Ninth Rank - Storm!"

A violent storm suddenly appeared out of nowhere, instantly engulfing the area. A large number of metal fragments were blown off their original paths by the powerful wind!
The vision of Platinum Dragon King and Gros Hornfury was also briefly blurred due to the storm.

But the next moment.

A terrifying burst of energy erupted from the Platinum Dragon King's mouth, forcibly dispelling the power of the storm.

"What about people?"

The Platinum Dragon King looked ahead into the empty space, his senses spreading out, but he found nothing. His amber dragon eyes were filled with gloom and uncertainty.
