Lu Mingfei, become the King of Elden!

Chapter 178 Low-Level Invasion
Lu Mingfei spurred his horse along the main road, galloping all the way back to the shore of the Ionian Swamp. Looking back to make sure he could no longer see the dilapidated house on the hill, he called out softly:
"Melina."

The girl slowly descended, mounting the horse, a familiar and warm aura emanating from behind Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei did not turn around to look at him; the tacit understanding between the two was already extraordinary.

"Can you feel it?"

He asked softly:
"That old bastard named Gerwei doesn't smell like a living person."

Lu Mingfei knew that although the girl rarely appeared, her gaze never left her.

Melina nodded slightly:
"Yes, his body is not a physical entity."

Lu Mingfei frowned slightly.

It seems this guy named Sage Gwei is indeed not a normal person.

"Could he be a spirit like you?"

Lu Mingfei continued to ask.

While Lu Mingfei's "sensory perception" was indeed strong, Melina still possessed more knowledge.

He knew that the girl had many secrets, but as a travel companion, she was very reliable.

Melina hesitated for a moment, then slowly shook her head.

"My body was burned in the flames, and then, for unknown reasons, continued to exist as a soul. But he..."

The girl's beautiful face showed a slight furrow in her brows:
"He is not a complete spirit, yet he also lacks the aura of a human."

Lu Mingfei sighed softly. It seemed that even someone as learned as Melina couldn't figure out the man's true identity.

However, this guy can indeed provide what he wants. As the saying goes, people die for wealth and birds die for food, but Lu Mingfei is not going to die at all.

He drew the greatsword from behind him, and with a slight twist of his wrist, the blade revealed a chilling glint.

At worst, we can get our hands on the item first, and then test its quality.
The moment this idea popped into his head, even Lu Mingfei himself was slightly taken aback.

When did he start to emulate those murderous bastards in the Execution Department?

No, that's not right.

Now, those murderers should be looking up to me.

Lu Mingfei lowered his eyes.

After all, the number of people he killed along the way, whether they were insane or not, was probably more than the total number of students at Kassel College.
-
clang!
Lu Mingfei held the greatsword horizontally in front of him, and the long, narrow, and huge scythe fell on it, making a loud metallic clang.

A powerful force surged from the hilt of the sword, the tingling sensation making Lu Mingfei gasp in surprise as he looked at the knight ahead with a hint of awe.

The enemy was over two meters tall, wearing a magnificent golden armor with patterns that Lu Mingfei had never seen before. The bright red cloak behind him was imposing, and the two pieces of cloth hanging down at his waist resembled insect wings.

The knight seemed to be in bad shape. He held a fine rapier in one hand and a long scythe in the other, and needed support to stand upright, as if he was at his last gasp.

But Lu Mingfei would never be fooled by his appearance. These guys had already killed him at least ten times!
Although he walks with a limp, looking like a lame patient with a cast on his leg walking with a cane, his martial arts skills are extraordinary. His swordsmanship is fast and swift, and his scythe has an extremely long attack range. He has no weaknesses in close or mid-range combat.

If you want to kite him remotely, sorry, this guy is actually a dual cultivator of magic and martial arts!

Lu Mingfei ducked to avoid the golden arc of light that resembled sword energy. The holy energy contained within it made him secretly alarmed. His prayer was also released almost instantly, giving him almost no time to react.

How are we supposed to fight this?
These guys have ridiculously high stats, they're not monsters that should be here. They're clearly elite knights on the same level as the Grik knights, but they're much stronger than ordinary Grik knights. They have a variety of attack methods, they know several combat skills, and they can even use prayers that Lu Mingfei has never seen before!

Lu Mingfei's eyes suddenly sharpened. The moment the opponent's rapier came at him again, he let the cold blade grazed his helmet, sending sparks flying.

Almost simultaneously, he exerted force with his feet, forcefully launching his most familiar combat technique at close range.

Stormy foot!
The wild air currents exploded instantly, and the golden-armored knight was surrounded by the storm's domain, with no way to avoid it. His already unsteady body was completely thrown off balance.

opportunity!

Lu Mingfei twisted his body abruptly, without the slightest hesitation, his movements swift and decisive, channeling all his remaining strength into his legs.

run!
He burst forth with unprecedented speed, treading through the putrid mud, his entire body becoming a blur as he frantically ran back the way he came!
The wind howled in his ears, and there seemed to be the humming of prayers. Lu Mingfei dared not look back, focusing all his attention on the road ahead, trying to make his movements more flexible and varied, and choosing a suitable escape route to better avoid possible attacks from behind.

Almost there! Just need to rush into the swamp and use the complex terrain...
Lu Mingfei stumbled into the Ionian swamp, his armor clashing against the gnarled tree roots with a dull thud.

Only after confirming that the pursuers behind him had disappeared did he dare to lean against the slippery, thick tree roots and gasp for breath.

"Hoo hoo. Just who are those guys?"

He whispered with lingering fear, his forehead beaded with cold sweat beneath his helmet. The blade of the Lost Knight's greatsword was deeply embedded in the mud, supporting his body.

These knights didn't seem to be from this area. The markings on their bodies were neither the symbol of the Golden Tree nor related to the Red Lion Legion.

Lu Mingfei pondered.

Could it be the remnants left behind by Valkyrie Malenia during the War of Shattering?

That's certainly a possibility.

After all, the Crimson Ionian Swamp was most likely the central battlefield at the time.
Just as Lu Mingfei was racking his brains trying to figure out which faction the patterns that appeared when the golden-armored knight released his prayer came from, a strange line of text suddenly appeared in front of him.

He was all too familiar with this feeling; it was something that would also occur when he saw objects, something like the sound of the world.

Although this strange script did not belong to any Earth system, or rather, it did not belong to any of the scripts he had ever seen before, such as Chinese, English, German, or Latin. It was like a collection of various scripts, completely distorted and difficult to recognize, yet he was able to understand it inexplicably.

[Invaded by "Millison"]

Lu Mingfei was slightly taken aback.

Millicent? Who's that?

The absence of a prefix in their name suggests they are either individuals from other worlds, such as "Bloodfinger" or "Herrscher of the Void," or, like Anastasia, "The Devourer of Faded Light," who hunts others using the power of their clones.
Lu Mingfei's heart suddenly clenched, and the hairs on his body stood on end!

His "intuition" was frantically alarming, constantly telling him one thing.

The person who came is very strong!
