Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 498 The Savage King—Holy Lu!

Bai Shi and Ge Fulei's figures, like two meteors, drew dazzling trails across the sky.

Above the battlefield where the two armies clashed, violent forces collided violently in mid-air.

Bai Shi wields the Dragon King Rock Sword, its blade wreathed in crimson dragon lightning. When he thrusts, it's like a dragon's fangs biting and tearing through the sky.

Gefulei responded by wielding his king axe, the blade carrying immense power, each strike sweeping and powerful, causing mountains to crumble and clouds to overturn.

"boom--!!"

The axe blade collided with the rock sword, instantly creating a blinding burst of sparks in the night sky.

The impact of the collision exploded in the air, instantly evaporating the clouds within a radius of a hundred meters and revealing the deep starry sky.

Just as the two were locked in a stalemate, Seros, who was behind Gefuli, suddenly lunged forward, his giant claws turning from a phantom to a real weapon, and fiercely swung towards Bai Shi's head.

In Serlos's mind, if it hit, Bai Shi's unprotected head would definitely be seriously injured.

Even if the results aren't great, it will definitely have some impact on him.

And these seemingly minor influences will ultimately become crucial determining factors in this evenly matched battle.

However, faced with Serlosh's surprise attack, Bai Shi's eyes sharpened, and he immediately poured a huge amount of magic power into the Dragon King Rock Sword.

The initial lightning instantly unleashed destructive power, and his entire body instantly transformed into a ferocious thundercloud, with crimson lightning intertwined upon it.

While dodging Seros's unexpected attack, the figures of the man and the beast were also engulfed in lightning.

Amidst the roar of thunder, the figures locked in combat finally separated, and a body covered in scorch marks was sent flying like a meteor.

After its figure streaked across the sky, it suddenly exploded and landed on the small golden tree on the Weeping Peninsula.

The huge, hard tree trunk was instantly cracked open, the thick bark crumbled, and the figure was deeply embedded in the small golden tree.

With one hand holding the King's Axe and the other supporting himself against the broken tree trunk, Ge Fulei rose from the dent, the charred blackening on his body quickly peeling off.

Although he was knocked away with great force, he showed no anger on his face. Instead, his fighting spirit soared even higher, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

"Haha, the younger generation is truly formidable!"

"I haven't experienced such a wonderful battle in a long time!"

Before he could finish his reflection, Bai Shi's figure had already followed closely behind, catching up once again.

Bai Shi was still fully releasing the initial lightning from the rock sword. He transformed into a crimson thundercloud, instantly streaking across the sky at incredible speed and crashing heavily towards Ge Fulei.

The tip of the Dragon King Rock Sword thrust forward fiercely, but Ge Fulei blocked it with the flat of his axe, firmly catching the heavy blow.

However, with the force of the impact, the small golden tree behind Gefulei, which had already begun to break, snapped completely in half.

Ge Fulei's figure, suppressed by Bai Shi, instantly pierced through the small golden tree and fell heavily to the ground.

As the little golden tree collapsed, the two returned to the ground, standing facing each other from afar.

After several exchanges, both men sustained numerous injuries, demonstrating that they were evenly matched in both martial arts and skills.

Bai Shi transformed back into human form from his thundercloud state, but his body was still wreathed in lightning.

Although he had just gained the upper hand in the battle, Bai Shi was not unscathed.

At this moment, the armor on his shoulder had been torn apart, with a deep gash cleaved by Gefulei's king axe, nearly shattering his shoulder.

However, in such a battle, to withstand a blow and only suffer this little damage is an unparalleled defensive capability for armor.

In addition, Bai Shi had blocked many of the attacks with the Dragon Head Shield, so he looked to be in pretty good condition.

The injuries, both large and small, have gradually faded thanks to the recovery of his powerful physique.

In contrast, Ge Fulei looked somewhat disheveled, as his armor had begun to break.

The cracks pierced by the Dragon King Rock Sword spread like a spider web, the entire suit of armor was on the verge of collapse, and large amounts of blood were gushing out.

Govre's armor was also crafted from the finest materials of the Golden Tree Dynasty and imbued with a unique blessing, making it incredibly sturdy.

However, compared to the top-tier armor worn by Bai Shi, which was unprecedented and unlikely to be replicated in the future, Ge Fulei's equipment was ultimately far inferior.

While equipment cannot be the key to victory in battles at this level, its superior quality still provides an advantage.

Ge Fulei reached out and touched the wounds on his face, licking the blood flowing from his forehead, and only then did he feel that he had truly come back to life.

He grinned, revealing a smug smile.

"Haha, that's really good."

"However, I'm much better at ground combat..."

Looking at Ge Fulei, Bai Shi could clearly feel the blood boiling within the other's body.

Ge Fulei slightly bent his knees, his muscles tensed, and raised his right leg high.

The next moment, Gefulei's thick right leg slammed down, and a massive amount of magical power poured into the earth.

The air beneath his feet exploded as if it were solid, unleashing a force powerful enough to shake the earth!

The invisible shockwaves surged and spread like a raging storm, while the physical rock spikes rose and fell like angry waves.

As the earth-shaking rock spikes swept through, even the remnants of small golden tree roots emerged from the cracks in the ground like lava.

Facing the most powerful Earthshaking attack unleashed by Gefulei himself, Bai Shi did not intend to withstand it head-on.

He had used the Earthshaking Technique countless times before, so he knew that this move was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. He transformed back into thunderclouds in an attempt to evade it.

However, at that very moment, the phantom of Seros on Gefuli's back suddenly swelled up and let out a ferocious, earth-shattering roar.

The roar of the beast almost shattered the space within a radius of a thousand meters. Bai Shi's figure froze, and the magic power that maintained his thundercloud avatar was forcibly broken, causing him to uncontrollably revert to his human form.

It was this tiny disturbance that forced Bai Shi to confront the earth-shaking impact containing immense power.

Even with the dragon-headed shield raised, Bai Shi was still momentarily restricted.

Seizing the opening, Ge Fulei raised his heavy, single-sided axe high and brought it down with a mountain-splitting strike!

Left with no other choice, Bai Shi had to continue holding up his shield, using the giant horn on the dragon-headed shield to block the axe blade.

"clang--!!"

The deafening clang of metal against metal was deafening. Bai Shi was forced to sink rapidly by the immense force, and the ground collapsed into a huge crater under the impact.

Only when the power of the attack gradually dissipated from Bai Shi did he swing the shield and suddenly stomp his foot on the ground.

Bai Shi used the momentum to rush into the sky and meet Ge Fulei, while the Dragon King Rock Sword transformed into a crimson lightning bolt, piercing upwards towards his chest!

As Ge Fulei dodged to the side, he used his top-notch martial arts skills to spin the axe blade and unleash another horizontal slash with the force of a sweeping army, aiming for Bai Shi's waist and abdomen.

Bai Shi slammed his shield down with his left hand, and the dragon-headed shield clashed with the king's axe once again.

But this time, the ferocious beile head seemed to come alive, suddenly opening its mouth and biting at the giant axe.

Sparks flew as the sharp, massive teeth collided against the axe's surface, ultimately firmly restraining the King's Axe to Ge Fulei's astonishment.

Bai Shi suddenly exerted force with his right arm, and the Dragon King Rock Sword burst forth with dazzling lightning, piercing through Ge Fulei's abdomen with a single strike.

The previously shattered armor was now even more broken, offering almost no protection before being completely pierced, allowing Bai Shi's sword tip to protrude directly from Ge Fulei's back.

However, despite suffering such a penetrating wound, Ge Fulei's fighting spirit was further aroused, and he completely disregarded the serious injury caused by Bai Shi's attack.

Ge Fulei neither dodged nor evaded. Since Wang Fu was restricted, he simply released his other hand that was holding Wang Fu.

As he raised his left arm high, a heavy iron elbow slammed into Bai Shi's back.

With one hand controlling the dragon-headed shield to restrain the King's Axe, and the other wielding the rock sword to pierce through Ge Fulei, Bai Shi was now unable to defend himself. The terrifying power penetrated all defenses, and under Ge Fulei's honed martial arts, it frantically destroyed Bai Shi's body through his armor, instantly causing him to vomit a mouthful of blood.

However, before Bai Shi's body could land, Ge Fulei followed up with another knee strike, seamlessly connecting with the fierce attack.

Bai Shi was instantly knocked away, this time his body was sent flying backwards.

Adjusting his posture in mid-air, Bai Shi landed on his feet, sliding two long gullies on the ground before finally coming to a stop.

Bai Shi felt his chest, which had been shattered into a mess, and even his heart had been shattered, with blood gushing out.

Back on the ground, Gefuli's power was instantly unleashed to its fullest potential through martial arts.

Moreover, the fact that Ge Fulei was not using the King's Axe in hand-to-hand combat made Bai Shi realize that Ge Fulei was beginning to show signs of abandoning formalities.

Clearly, Bai Shi wasn't the only one present who noticed this sign.

Serlosh’s giant claws rested on Goughre’s shoulder, showing signs of materializing again at any moment.

Bai Shi chuckled twice, and sunlight surged from his body, causing his broken bones and flesh to rapidly grow and heal.

The broken heart healed as easily as a minor injury.

Facing Ge Fulei, who calmly wielded an axe in both hands, Bai Shi spat out a mouthful of blood and smiled faintly.

Now that Gofule and Serlos have lost the full blessing of the Golden Tree, the pressure on him is not as great as it was for the former Baylor.

"Heh, looks like I need to be more serious."

"Perfect, let's try to push this equipment to its limits..."

Bai Shi patted his chest, and embers of fire ignited all over his body, his aura gradually growing stronger.

As the embers ignited, Bai Shi's power surged once more, and the armor began to glow with sparks, becoming even more extraordinary.

The rage flowing from the armored chest instantly blazed fiercely, surging like lava, and blood and battle intent transformed into crimson and orange lightning, frantically pouring into the dragon-headed shield in his hand.

On the shield, Beile's ferocious dragon head suddenly opened its scarlet eyes.

"Roar--!!!"

A dragon's roar that shattered the heavens erupted, and the tyranny of the prince was once again revealed!

Beller's head opened its massive maw and let out a deafening roar that completely drowned out and tore Serlosh's roar into the air.

Sensing the tyrant's power, Gefulei suddenly looked up, his breathing becoming increasingly heavy.

The phantom of 'Beast Chancellor' Serlosh was no longer as imposing as before, looking at Baylor's head in utter shock, its figure flickering in the lightning.

To the beasts, the tyrannical aura of the Beile was crystal clear, almost a form of suppression in terms of life form.

With Baylor's roar, orange lightning spread outwards from the center, the thunderbolts dancing wildly like mad snakes, instantly tearing the sky above the battlefield.

The clouds evaporated, the sky turned into a crimson inferno, and thunderstorms cascaded down like waterfalls, splitting the earth into deep, scorched canyons.

The ground beneath Gefuli's feet began to melt, turning into a rain of lava that splashed everywhere.

Facing this destructive power that seemed like a natural disaster, Gefulei clearly felt the terrifying force contained within it, and his brows furrowed.

However, instead of backing down, Ge Fulei took a heavy step forward.

He gripped the axe tightly in both arms, raising it high above his head, his bulging muscles taut, exerting all his strength.

"Drink——!"

With a roar, Ge Fulei channeled all the immense power he had gathered into his body through his arms and onto the giant axe, unleashing a devastating slash that seemed to tear the earth apart as it hurtled toward Bai Shi.

Within the cracks in the earth, the power of the life furnace surged wildly, and a copper-red light burst forth, clashing with the raging thunder.

The phantom of Seros behind Gefuli also churned violently, its beastly eyes burning with a scarlet, ferocious light, and its originally blurry outline gradually solidified under the reflection of lightning.

Serlosh roared to the sky, his illusory fur materializing, and his massive beastly body rose like a mountain behind Gofulei.

It is—the Beast King's War Soul, fighting alongside Gofulei!
Serlosh opened his gaping maw, and his ferocious breath drew a dazzling golden light, heading straight for Bai Shi's figure.

The two worked together as seamlessly as ever, transforming into a dark golden shockwave that collided violently with Baylor's thunderous fury!

Finally, the king's axe cleaved through the thunderclouds, heading straight for Bai Shi.

However, Bai Shi simply watched Ge Fulei rush towards him calmly, without the slightest panic.

The tyrant's wrath is not limited to this.

The dragon-headed shield was aimed at Griffith and Serlosh, and its angry, ferocious head roared once more.

The dragon's jaws snapped open, spewing forth a world-burning thunder and flame that coalesced into a torrent of crimson lightning that pierced the heavens and earth.

Wherever it passed, space collapsed, and everything was reduced to ashes!

Goughre's armor glowed crimson red in the intense heat, Seros's beastly shadow was torn apart by lightning, and the ground beneath his feet completely collapsed, turning into a churning abyss of lava!
—This is the wrath of a tyrant, and the clarion call of the world's end!
—This is the cruelty of the Prince!
The figures of Griffith and Serlosh were instantly swallowed up by this violent power and disappeared without a trace.

Bai Shi nodded upon seeing this astonishing power. Although it was the power of a former defeated opponent, he still acknowledged Beile's strength.

Compared to the function of a shield, this dragon-headed shield is actually more powerful in terms of offensive capabilities.

Like a true Baylor, he devoted almost all his strength to offense.

At this moment, with the support of his massive magical power, its power was completely equivalent to the move that Baylor himself used.

Bai Shi gazed silently ahead, waiting for the smoke to clear, hoping that Gefulei and Seros had not fallen.

When he reappeared before him, Gofulei's armor had completely melted, and his bare upper body was covered in wounds.

Meanwhile, Serlosh, who was behind Gefuli, was already seriously injured as he had just materialized, with blood flowing down his face.

Serlos roared in frustration, staring intently at Bai Shi.

Despite its anger, a hint of fear lingered in its eyes.

That terrifying prince has already been killed by Bai Shi. Just how strong would he be if he used his full power?!

Is someone like that really someone they can defeat?
Just as Serlos was distracted by this, Gofulai reached out and hugged its huge head.

"Alright, that's enough..."

“Seroshu, you’ve helped me a lot.”

Serlos realized something was wrong, his eyes widened in terror, and he struggled desperately.

However, it was too late. Moreover, it had just been seriously injured and was powerless to resist this premeditated massacre.

Ge Fulei's strong hands clamped down on its body, tearing at its flesh with tremendous force, the sounds of blood and flesh ripping and bones breaking echoing one after another.

With a roar of defiance, the once mighty Beast King, Seroch, fell, his scalding blood splattering all over Gofrei's body.

He raised his arm, and the lingering afterimage of Serlosh slowly merged with him.

When he unleashed his suppressed power, it was also because of the soul fusion contract with the battle spirit that Gefuli inherited much of Seros's power.

Bathed in blood, Ge Fulei slowly raised his head to look at Bai Shi, his eyes now seeming like those of a completely different person.

Ge Fulei roared, tearing bloody gashes in his chest with his hands, letting out a deafening howl:
"I'm tired of red tape..."

"From this moment on, I am Holly Lou!"

"A soldier!"
