Lu Mingfei, become the King of Elden!

Chapter 25 The Gatekeeper Has Fallen Down
"The Faded One—"

"Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense."

Lu Mingfei raised the Storm Knight's Greatsword in his hand, interrupting the ominous chant.

"I, Lu Mingfei, the second knight of the Storm Knights, have come to take your dog's life."

Malkid frowned:
"The remnants of the storm are so arrogant."

However, Lu Mingfei didn't bother to let him finish speaking. He strode forward, a phantom mark formed from dragon blood appearing before him, instantly unleashing a raging inferno—

Dragon Flame!

The wrinkles on Evil Omen's already bitter and resentful face deepened. He used his strong lower limbs to leap backward and dodge Lu Mingfei's sudden attack.

"Omen Demon" Malkitt is a rare elite enemy who retains full sanity, unlike any enemy Lu Mingfei has ever encountered before.

Although his fighting style and techniques remained consistent, he was able to adapt flexibly and respond with ease, making him no less formidable than the old knight.

In terms of hard power, the gap between Lu Mingfei and him is not small.

But who's going to compete with you on sheer strength?

Lu Mingfei can adapt to his fighting style and remember his habits and movements by dying repeatedly, while for Evil Omen, every time Lu Mingfei comes to challenge them, it's the first time.

Therefore, the downfall of an ominous sign is inevitable.

Although the ominous demon leaped back to avoid the direct hit, the scorching flames still brushed against the fur cloak, and a burnt smell filled the air.

Malkitt snorted and the light hammer in his hand condensed again, but this time, Lu Mingfei did not give him a chance to charge up.

Stormy foot!
Lu Mingfei stomped his foot on the ground, and a hurricane suddenly erupted around him, forcefully interrupting the ominous sign's offensive.

Propelled by the wind pressure, he shot out like an arrow, the Storm Knight's greatsword slashing diagonally towards Ominous's neck.

clang--

In the rush, the ominous sign blocked with its staff, and the powerful recoil made Lu Mingfei's arm go numb.

"Insanity!"

Markitt roared, his bulging muscles suddenly tensed, and his tail swept out like a steel whip.

Lu Mingfei had anticipated this and ducked and rolled away to avoid it.

However, Ominous was a veteran of countless battles. The moment he turned around, the golden dagger in his hand instantly materialized and pierced straight at Lu Mingfei with a whistling sound!
Left with no other choice, Lu Mingfei only had time to adjust his posture and barely avoid a fatal blow—

puff!

The dagger, formed from prayer, plunged deep into his left shoulder, the pain momentarily pausing Lu Mingfei's mind.

He raised his right hand, and the Dragon Offering Mark on his palm lit up. The improved "Dragon Flame" was unleashed once again, forcing back the ominous sign's pursuit.

The sudden, close proximity of the flames caught the ominous sign off, leaving him covered in soot and his once gray hair charred black.

Lu Mingfei pressed his advantage, his sword flashing as he unleashed the "Whirling Slash" technique once more. His greatsword swept across like a hurricane, striking Evil Omen squarely in the waist.

Blood splattered, turning the demon's gray hair red.

The enraged ominous demon let out a long howl, its enormous staff hovering in the air for a few seconds before suddenly accelerating, violently tearing through the surrounding air as it slashed towards Lu Mingfei.

However, Lu Mingfei had already gotten used to his unpredictable swordsmanship, which was sometimes fast and sometimes slow.

Lu Mingfei leaped backward to dodge the sword's edge, and the Dragon Offering Prayer was activated once more.

The phantom of the dragon's head bit into Ominous's shoulder, slamming him heavily to the ground, its massive body kicking up clouds of dust.

Lu Mingfei leaped up, raising his greatsword high. A storm gathered on the blade, transforming into a nearly visible hurricane. "Die!"

boom--

The sword cleaved through, piercing Ominous's chest completely.

The immense trauma drove Malkit to utter madness. He conjured a giant hammer in his hand and swung it at Lu Mingfei, creating a huge crater. Then, he swept his golden longsword at him with precision and speed.

The speed of his movements left Lu Mingfei speechless.

"They can still shoot like that with a huge hole in his chest?!"

The vitality of the powerful figures in the border region completely impressed Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei rolled awkwardly to avoid the golden longsword that almost grazed his scalp. Amidst the flying debris, he glimpsed the piercing wound in the chest of the Ominous Demon being visibly healing.

Beneath the grayish-white fur, flesh and blood intertwined and regenerated as if alive, with golden glimmers shimmering at the edges of the wounds.

"This fucking has self-healing properties?!"

Lu Mingfei cursed and took a big gulp from the Holy Grail bottle.

Taking advantage of the moment when the demon's movements were slowed by the excruciating pain, Lu Mingfei gripped his sword with both hands and charged forward again.

This time, the storm on his blade no longer dispersed, but condensed into a sharp, spiraling vortex, piercing the wound of the ominous sign that had not yet fully healed.

This is a variation of the Stormblade, said to be based on a combat technique called "Storm Assault".

Although "Storm Strike" is only applicable to weapons such as spears and halberds, the Storm Riders used their wisdom to improve the technique in order to better control the storm.

puff!

The vortex penetrated into the flesh and blood, accompanied by a suppressed groan. The demon's pupils suddenly contracted, and the light hammer in its hand suddenly shattered, turning into several golden daggers that shot forward like arrows!
Before Lu Mingfei could stop his attack, his right arm and side abdomen were slashed open with huge gashes, and bright red blood gushed out.

The massive blood loss caused Lu Mingfei to momentarily lose his senses, but he gritted his teeth and, despite the pain, pushed the blade in another half inch.

"Utterly ignorant!"

The ominous roar made Lu Mingfei's eardrums throb with pain. He suddenly raised his left hand, and the golden dagger plunged fiercely towards Lu Mingfei's throat!
In the nick of time, Lu Mingfei released the hilt of his sword and leaned back, the blade grazing his neck and drawing a trail of blood. He raised his leg and kicked Evil Omen's knee hard, using the recoil to flip backward and create distance.

If the old knight had seen him abandon his weapon, he would surely have been reprimanded. But what morality or creed mattered between life and death? The old knight would naturally understand.

Lu Mingfei didn't care about any of that; all he wanted was to win!
"You think you're the only one who can throw things?"

Lu Mingfei grinned maliciously. In an instant, a storm gathered on the dagger in his hand, which he then flung away.

The blade pierced Ominous's left eye with pinpoint accuracy, and the gushing blood instantly covered his狰狞 (zhengning - ferocious/hideous) face.

The demon staggered backward, and Lu Mingfei reached into the torn space, pulled out the King's Army straight sword that he hadn't used in a long time, and took the opportunity to rush forward.

Get ready!

The sword's edge, like a crescent moon, sliced ​​open the demon's chest from bottom to top.

Its massive body finally gave way and it slowly collapsed to the ground.

“I will remember you, Faded One. You who are manipulated by the fires of ambition, the ‘Ominous Demon’ will surely extinguish your flames…”

Lu Mingfei, panting heavily, drew his sword and kicked the ominous creature's body away. The demon's body gradually turned into golden specks of light and dissipated, leaving only the unfinished curse.

"Why don't you talk to Grek about the social insurance, housing fund, and salary issues first?"

Lu Mingfei flicked the blood off his sword and said this.
