Lu Mingfei, become the King of Elden!

Chapter 188 Please Become the King of the Night
"call."

Lu Mingfei slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, adjusted his rapid breathing, and flicked his wrist, scattering the bloodstains on the sword onto the ground, where they blended into the deep red earth.

Behind him, the swordsman Knox, dressed in a white monk's robe and wearing a pointed hat, fell to the ground, completely lifeless. A hideous, huge wound pierced through his heart, which was the cause of his death.

As the battle ended, the red buff on Lu Mingfei's body slowly disappeared. It was the military flag skill from O'Neill, which was now under his command.

Thanks to this combat skill buff, Lu Mingfei's strength was temporarily increased, allowing him to defeat the mini-boss without taking any damage for the first time. Of course, this was also related to the fact that the two Knox people were not very strong.

He bent down, picked up the curved knife from the ground, and examined it carefully.

"The alien swords used by the swordsmen of the Eternal City. Hook swords with blades as thin as needles. Weapons forged from liquid metal derived from silver teardrops."

"Liquid metal?"

Lu Mingfei waved his hand casually a couple of times, muttering to himself:

"No wonder it could stretch and contract when I hit it earlier. I thought it was a flexible love."

He tried tapping his greatsword twice, producing a clanging sound, proving that the blade was indeed very tough.

Lu Mingfei then tried to inject primal magic into the Knox Fluid Sword, and then suddenly swung it out!
A narrow, silvery light flashed from his hand, and the entire sword became thin and long. With a "bang," it shattered a small rock not far away.

"Not bad."

Lu Mingfei nodded in satisfaction.

"This thing works really well at mid-range, and it's useful in underground cemeteries."

The key thing is that it's really fun.
"What are you mumbling about?"

Veteran O'Neal slammed the battle flag into the ground, its heavy weight creating a small crater in the crimson earth.

He glared at Lu Mingfei and urged him on:

"Hurry up and go get your damn blessing charm, and collect the junk. Don't you have important business to attend to?"

Lu Mingfei looked embarrassed before putting away the Knox Fluid Sword and lighting up the Blessing in front of him.

"Temple of the Thria Chair".

After spending time together along the way, Lu Mingfei had gained a certain understanding of O'Neill's personality.

He also possessed the stubbornness and glory inherited from the Storm, but his temper was much better than the old man's. He wouldn't scold people at the drop of a hat, but he was more serious and rigid, and very long-winded, often launching into a sermon.

Well, I can only say that among the generals of Knights of the Lost Homeland, he has a relatively good temper.

Thinking this, Lu Mingfei stepped into the chair temple guarded by the Knox Brothers and Knox Swordsmen. It was empty except for a huge treasure chest in front of him.

The treasure chest was exquisitely decorated, thick and large. Lu Mingfei lifted the lid with both hands and it took him a while to open it.

Inside was a magnificent staff.

The staff was very long, longer than those used by ordinary mages that Lu Mingfei had seen; and at the top was a huge, perfectly round blue diadem.

As the azure light shone through, even O'Neal couldn't help but exclaim in admiration:
"This is the highest quality brilliance stone. Kid, you've struck gold! I wonder which magic master from the Origin School left behind this."

The words that surfaced in Lu Mingfei's mind quickly solved the mystery.

"One of the 'Origin Magicians,' Luther's Radiant Stone Staff. Only those who have come into contact with the wisdom within the stone, the distant, prehistoric wisdom, can wield this staff."

"This is... Luther's sapphire staff?"

Lu Mingfei murmured.

When O'Neill heard the name, he was slightly taken aback. He didn't ask Lu Mingfei how he knew who the owner of the Radiant Stone Staff was. Instead, he fell into reminiscence: "Ruthert. That was the most glorious time for the Origin School. He was one of the two powerful pioneer archmages, a figure standing at the pinnacle of mages."

I was fortunate enough to meet him once. That was during the golden age, before he was expelled from the magic academy.”

Lu Mingfei's heart stirred, and he extended a finger to gently touch the azure brilliance stone.

The instant he touched it, a deep, complex, and ancient darkness seemed to appear in his mind. It was a pure, ancient darkness, like the eternal night sky, boundless and vast.

He continued to sink deeper and deeper into the boundless darkness, until suddenly, many points of starlight appeared in the distant distance.

He tried to see the points of light clearly, but they were all blurry.

He tried to find a way to get closer to them, but the method was complicated and difficult to understand. It was as if countless strange voices were whispering in his ears, but he could not understand them.

He tried hard to decipher those words, but to no avail. He felt dizzy and his mind was simply not up to the task.

In the end, only one sentence remained in his ears, the voice was intermittent and indistinct, but he understood it.

"Become the King of the Night"

Like whispers from the eternal universe, like a ballad, they echoed in his ears.

boom!
A size 45 foot kicked him hard in the butt!

In an instant, the pain interrupted everything; darkness, light, murmurs—everything vanished.

Lu Mingfei gradually came to his senses, his forehead and back covered in cold sweat, feeling a wave of fear wash over him.

"what is that?"

Lu Mingfei was still shaken.

“I don’t know,” O’Neill frowned. “It’s probably something like origins, night, stars, the source of magical pathways, the stuff that stargazers and mages study.”

As he spoke, O'Neill stretched out a hand and placed it on Lu Mingfei's head.

A gentle "wind" came, dispelling the gloom in his heart, and slowly traveled along his meridians to his body, allowing Lu Mingfei's tense mind to relax slightly.

A moment later, O'Neal withdrew his hand, the lines on his forehead deepening.
"That can't be right. You're clearly just like me, a 'mentally challenged' person."

He was puzzled:
"Why would touching the pyroxene cause a reaction? Is it because the pyroxene is of such high quality? But your intelligence is simply not enough; that mystery almost burned your brain out."

Upon hearing this, Lu Mingfei's fear intensified.

Kaneki was right. These powers at the border are dangerous because at their ends are all kinds of mysterious beings that are difficult for mortals to understand. They are just users, thieves, Prometheus who stole fire, or humble believers of the gods.

“Kid,” O’Neill suddenly said, “try it again.”

No, no, no, no.

Lu Mingfei waved his hands repeatedly.

"What are you chickening out for?" O'Neill cursed. "I'm right here. The power of the storm will protect you. Are you going to avoid the Emerald Stone from now on? Go now!"

Lu Mingfei agreed. He cautiously extended a finger and carefully touched the surface of the azure brilliance stone again.

Nothing happened.

Lu Mingfei turned his head and saw O'Neill say thoughtfully:

"Looks like you're quite the catch."
