Lu Mingfei, become the King of Elden!

Chapter 339 Stealing the Light of the Sun God

Alberto de Luna calmly observed the situation on the field.

In his plan, he was supposed to take down the woman named "Shude Mai" in the blink of an eye, eliminate the weakest one from the game first, and then try to reach a consensus with the strange knight to jointly attack the shadowy figure in the field.

This was an excellent plan.

When the chaotic four-player game turned into a three-player "Landlord" game, the remaining two "farmers"—that is, him and the knight—no matter how wary and unwilling they were, under the huge common threat, they had to join forces to take down the "landlord" who was the dealer—that dark figure.

But despite all his calculations, he completely misjudged the strength of this madman who was dressed as a medieval knight in the middle of the night!

That lightning-fast flying sword, that red energy that was definitely not a word of magic... such speed, such unique ability...

It completely disrupted his rhythm.

Could it be some kind of unknown alchemical weapon?

Or... something even more troublesome?
Alberto seemed lost in thought, his gaze sweeping over the knight's magnificent armor and the red-glowing sword.

He decided to change his strategy and try one last time to form alliances.

He cleared his throat, his face once again displaying his polite social demeanor, and turned to the knight, speaking in his magnetic Italian accent:

"This... Sir Knight, as you can see, the current situation is quite delicate."

There may be some misunderstandings between us, but the greater threat seems to come from that person…

He gracefully tilted his head towards the direction of the shadowy figure:

“I think perhaps we can set aside our differences for now and deal with this unstable factor first? After all, there is only one Dragonbone Cross, and the fewer competitors, the better.”

He tried to show the utmost sincerity, and his words were full of hints and temptations.

However, before the Cavaliers could respond, the shadowy figure in the center of the court, who had been regarded as the hypothetical enemy and target, seemed to be completely enraged by Alberto's open "forming cliques" remarks.

"Noisy!"

A deep, angry roar exploded out, and a terrifying pressure instantly descended upon everyone, as if the air in the entire space had frozen for a moment!
The previously restrained aura around the shadowy figure suddenly erupted, like a dormant volcano suddenly erupting. A violent vortex spread wildly outwards from him, causing Mai Shude's long hair to fly backwards and Alberto's suit to flutter. Only Lu Mingfei, who was wearing armor, remained unmoved.

The dark figure slowly raised its head, and from the shadow of the hood, two icy gazes seemed to be fixed on Alberto.

"How dare you, mere ants, attempt to scheme against me?"

The shadowy figure watched them coldly:

"Before those who hold power and authority, there is no such thing as an evenly matched battle. Weaklings like you can only die like ants!"

"If I were an ant, then the two of them would just be bacteria on the skin of an ant's feet."

The knight said rudely.

Mai Shude rolled her eyes at him, annoyed.
"If you can't use a metaphor, you can shut up."

Alberto's face darkened further; he felt as if he had been publicly humiliated.

But the shadowy figure clearly had no interest in engaging in such pointless banter.

He slowly raised one hand, palm up.

"Since you insist on playing this game," the shadowy voice seemed to come from the abyss, "then I will show you what true power is."

As her words faded, death knells tolled!
Suddenly, a two-story-high pipe organ in the collection began to play; it was a masterpiece with alchemical machinery at its core.

It was playing a mass, but also a summoning of spirits; it was a thousand, ten thousand death gods roaring together! Everyone felt the impact from the shadowy figure, not from wind pressure or intense heat, but from its majesty!

It was like a mountain slowly collapsing in front of you, about to crush you! A transparent, visible field radiated outwards from the shadowy figure, the warm and gentle aura covering the Dragon King's skeleton. The skeleton didn't even tremble, but the metal ground began to crack.

Countless metal shavings slowly rose within the domain, accompanied by intense magnetization. The metal shavings attracted each other and swirled around the dark figure, as if the Grim Reaper with a scythe were flying around a divine throne.

Five meters, ten meters, fifteen meters, twenty meters… the area expanded rapidly. No one knew the effect of this incantation, but being enveloped by it meant certain death.

But how could such an incredibly powerful Word of Power simultaneously possess such a vast domain?
This almost overturns the existing rules of the study of words!
Alberto de Luna's eyes shone with a lava-like color, and he began to chant in a low voice, his aura becoming sharp and unbearable.

He stood there quietly, his body crackling with blinding lightning. His pupils were no longer crimson gold; the blazing white of the lightning overshadowed the gold.

Not only him, but the space around him was also highly ionized. The dust in the air sparkled due to ionization, and thin arcs of electricity occasionally pierced the air.

Alberto's voice seemed to come from ancient times, carrying the majesty of thunder.

The lightning around him suddenly surged, transforming into a pillar of lightning several meters in diameter that shot into the sky and collided violently with the ever-expanding death domain of the black shadow!
Two terrifying forces clashed in mid-air, producing a tearing sound.

Lightning surged wildly within the transparent realm, attempting to tear apart this invisible cage, while the realm of death relentlessly eroded the boundaries of the lightning like a tidal wave.

Metal fragments trembled violently at the boundary between the two domains, sometimes crackling with lightning, sometimes being crushed into dust by an invisible force.

The entire space seemed to have become a battlefield for the gods, making it difficult for mortals to even stand.

Mai Shude barely managed to steady herself in the fierce wind, her twin swords crossed in front of her chest, her expression grave.

"Those two lunatics"

She now finally understood why this Italian man, who called himself a collector, was so brazen.

Because this guy's bloodline class is extremely high, either S or A+, and the Word of Power he uses is an aggressive and high-risk Word of Power!
"Is this controlled by Azure Thunder?"

Lu Mingfei whispered beneath his mask, his voice drowned out by the roar of thunder and the domain.

He stared at the blazing white electricity around Alberto that seemed to tear space apart, feeling the restless charge in the air.

"No, it doesn't seem to be controlled by Azure Lightning..."

He secretly denied it.

He had read all the words of power recorded by the Secret Society, and the only one that might match was "Indra".

This incantation, named after the Hindu deity Shakya Devanam Indra, is described in vague terms in the Secret Society's archives, with its effects described as "the sun, incarnate as thunder, rises in the midday sky, stealing the light from the sun god," and so on.

"The rules here are completely different from those at the border."

Lu Mingfei understood immediately.

In the borderlands, whether it's the Radiant Stone Mages seeking the origin, the clergy serving the Golden Law, or the warriors tempering themselves, their strength is often all-encompassing.

Willpower, body, spirit, and the understanding and application of laws are like building a tall tower, with a solid foundation and progressive layers.

It's a kind of sublimation from the inside out.

Here, whether they are pure-blooded dragons or hybrids, their strength seems... rather "unbalanced".

Without exception, they all took shortcuts and relied excessively on this almost rule-based power.

Just like a person doesn't need to understand the principles of an internal combustion engine, as long as they step on the gas pedal, they can make a car speed away.

"It's like borrowing money from loan sharks whenever you need it..."
