Man on the ark, forced to become king

Damn it, a Sarkaz dares to hit my car?!

Even if the King of Heaven himself came today, you would still die! I said it!

"Hey! Don't be impulsive!"

As soon as Mostima finished speaking, the armored vehicle roared into the crowd. Although the Sarkaz reacted quickly, two greatsword users who couldn't dodge in time were hit head-on by the armored vehicle and immediately flew more than ten meters away.

However, the armored vehicle's speed was greatly reduced due to the impact, and the vehicle shook violently, clearly indicating that the Sarkaz who had taken cover outside the vehicle had begun to attack.

"Xiao Mo, let's get started!"

It was too late to turn around and accelerate again. No matter how good the armored vehicle's protection was, it was still just light armor and couldn't withstand continuous attacks for long. Lin Lu simply stopped the car on the spot, grabbed her staff and the long sword she had taken from the Emperor, opened the door, and rushed out.

"Aren't you going to do anything about him?"

Mostima turned to the little doll behind her and said something, but naturally received no response.

The angel, who was always good at hiding all her emotions, sighed and could only take her black and white staff and get off the bus.

A few Sarkaz mercenaries were nothing to her, but... such a reckless approach was really not to her liking.

"That's it? That's it? With this little skill, you dare to hit my car?!"

As soon as she got out of the car, she heard her colleague's angry shouts. Probably because everyone's attention was drawn to that side, she didn't encounter any attacks when she got out.

Miss Angel peeked out from behind the car and immediately saw Lin Lu, holding a long sword, brush past three black magic orbs. Her body vanished instantly, and the next second she flashed in front of a sorcerer who was raising a staff. The sharp blade precisely pierced the sorcerer's neck through the gaps in his armor.

One fatal blow to the throat!

Two massive swords, each as tall as a person, tore through the air and fell simultaneously from two directions. Lin Lu drew his sword and retreated, grabbing the sorcerer's corpse with one hand and pushing it towards one of the swords. He parried the other sword with his longsword, deflecting it off its trajectory. His body spun nimbly like a bird, and crimson flames burst forth from his palms, spreading out in a ring as he spun.

Man and flames danced together, and in an instant, the shadow wielding a long sword had moved behind the greatswordsman. The blade slashed upwards, tearing through armor and flesh, leaving deep, bone-revealing wounds.

Crimson flames meandered up the ground and up the greatswordsman's body, spreading throughout his entire body in the blink of an eye and igniting him into a human-shaped torch.

Mostima could see clearly that the strangely colored flames were not simply igniting the cloth, but were using the greatswordsman's flesh and blood as fuel. What it was burning was the vitality of human life!

Even the slightest trace of embers will cause the flames to penetrate deep into the body like a bone-deep infection, spreading rapidly and igniting the entire person!

In the blink of an eye, three sorcerers and a greatswordsman were engulfed in flames, turning into a burning humanoid flame, and within seconds they collapsed to the ground, turning into black ashes.

This terrifying effect even sent a chill down the spine of the well-traveled Mostima.

Although she had always known that her colleague was hiding many secrets and was not as simple as she appeared, it was only now that she truly realized that Lin Lu was probably much more terrifying than she had imagined.

That skillful ability to brush past swords and spells unscathed is something only those who have personally experienced the battlefield and fought countless battles can master.

There were also bizarre flames that had never been heard of before, flames capable of burning life... Mostima couldn't even tell if it was Originium Arts.

Who exactly is Lin Lu?!

Chapter Thirty-Two: Mostima's Little Thoughts

"Xiao Mo! Why are you just watching?!"

While Mostima was lost in thought, Lin Lu was quite helpless.

After being baptized by the flames of the evil god and personally slaughtered, the already small mercenary team was now reduced to only two greatswordsmen, three mages, and five soldiers who showed no particular distinguishing features.

It wouldn't be difficult for him to deal with these people, but when two people go out together, he can't do everything himself, can he?

He had never seen Mostima make a move in Lungmen. Now that he had finally made it on a long trip and had a chance to fight, he had been looking forward to it for a long time!

"You can handle this yourself; I don't need to get involved."

Despite saying that, Mostima still raised the staff with the black nested rings at the top and gently tapped it on the ground.

Centered on the tip of the staff, extremely faint light gray ripples spread outwards, covering all the remaining Sarkaz mercenaries.

hum~

A barely perceptible tremor ran through the air, and all the restlessness ceased in an instant.

As if a pause button had been pressed, the Sarkaz mercenaries froze in place, their attack stances shrouded in a gray-black magical glow.

It seems to be a control ability that restricts the enemy's movements or stuns them?

Lin Lu secretly guessed, her hands moving quickly.

While Mostima subdued the mercenaries, he used his longsword to stab each of the Sarkaz in the throat.

These people were all wearing light armor. Although you could cut them with a knife, there was no need to waste your energy since they couldn't move anyway. It was quicker and easier to attack their vulnerable spots directly.

As the blade sliced ​​through the air, a mist of blood dispersed, followed by a crimson flame that spread, engulfing all the mercenaries and incinerating their corpses.

When you kill someone, you have to grind their bones to ashes to ensure that they won't come back to life and cause trouble in some way.

Although such a thing may not necessarily happen in this world, Lin Lu still did it subconsciously due to years of habit.

"That makes things much easier."

He drew his sword, then sheathed it, and flames engulfed everything.

Feeling the sweltering heat around her, Lin Lu looked at Mostima with a relaxed expression, only to find her expression strange, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

"what happened?"

This was the first time Mostima had shown such a noticeable change in expression, and Lin Lu was taken aback, a little confused.

"Aaaaaah! Die!"

Suddenly, a terrible scream rang out from the side. Even Lin Lu was startled by the sudden noise. Turning her head, she saw a greatsword man covered in the flames of an evil god rushing towards them. Large chunks of black crystals emerged from under the flesh covered by the flames and spread rapidly, turning him into a monster parasitized by the crystals in the blink of an eye, almost unrecognizable as human.

"Get out of the way!"

Mostima turned and ran. Seeing that she had run away, Lin Lu felt something was wrong and quickly backed away.

In just a few seconds, the monster swelled into an irregular polyhedron made entirely of pure black crystals and rolled to the side of the armored vehicle.

BOOM !!!!

Crystals scattered and flew everywhere, the intense explosion caused the air to distort slightly, and powerful energy waves spread out, raising a large cloud of dust.

Hearing the noise, Lin Lu turned around abruptly and gasped.

The once barren land had been transformed into a crater several meters in diameter, with an armored vehicle overturned inside, its once pristine exterior now tattered and its two tires collapsed.

Large patches of crystals, resembling flowerbeds, sprouted on the surface of the explosion crater, surrounded by visible black dust. The Sarkaz that had turned into a crystal ball was probably blown to pieces, leaving no trace.

What is this? They resort to suicide attacks when they can't win? They just blow themselves up?

The key question is, how did someone as weak as you manage to generate such power?

In this situation, Lin Lu couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"Don't go there yet. After an infected person of this level detonates, a large amount of Originium dust will fill the surrounding area, along with strong Originium radiation. If you accidentally inhale it, you may get Oripathy."

Mostima's voice came from afar, causing Lin Lu, who was about to go and see, to stop in her tracks.

"Then what should we do? Wait for it to dissipate on its own?"

"Try it with your fire?"

"fire?"

Lin Lu didn't know how Mostima came up with the idea of ​​using fire to burn off the dust and radiation, but with the thought that it wouldn't hurt to give it a try, he still walked closer and used the Giant's Flame Prayer on the crater.

Crimson flames erupted from his palm, landing in the crater and actually igniting, spreading from the ground into the air to form a sea of ​​fire.

The floating dust was used as fuel by the evil god's flames, and even the crystals on the ground were ignited.

"That's exactly what happened."

The sea of ​​fire churned and distorted the air as it burned. Mostima watched this astonishing scene and became even more certain of his guess.

She had this feeling when she saw those eerie flames burning the corpses of the Sarkaz mercenaries to ashes—as everyone knows, almost all of the Sarkaz are infected, and the corpses of those severely infected with Oripathy are very troublesome to dispose of. Conventional cremation cannot destroy the Originium crystals in the bodies of the infected, so special incinerators are usually needed to process them.

But Lin Lu's fire is different; it can burn the corpse along with the internal crystals.

That kind of flame can use flesh, life force, and Originium energy as fuel to release the energy in the crystal and burn it all away, which is equivalent to harmlessly treating it in one step.

Mostima described it as 'terrifying'.

A flame capable of burning life force and even Originium should not exist in this world at all. Its existence means that the Originium that forms the foundation of the world today is completely suppressed by it!

Regardless of where Lin Lu found and mastered this skill, this person was more mysterious and terrifying than she had imagined.

She originally planned to return to Laterano to pick up her friend's sister and bring her to Lungmen. According to the plan, the two would separate after arriving at the first supply point. However, after seeing Lin Lu's magic, she suddenly didn't want to leave so soon.

She wanted to continue the journey and explore Lin Lu's secrets more deeply.

This subtle clue reveals a deeper truth: Lin Lu's abilities may very well change the existing world order to some extent in the future!

Moreover, it seems that Lin Lu is currently unaware of the power he possesses, or what his existence means to this world...

Perhaps this is an unprecedented opportunity, whether for her, for her former friends and teammates, or for Laterano.

Chapter Thirty-Three: It's you I choose! Toret!

The Originium dust was burned away by the evil god's flames, and the armored vehicle looked even more miserable from the outside after being ravaged by fire.

Lin Lu walked into the crater with a dark expression and circled the car twice, but found no other damage besides the tires.

The price of 320 million is indeed not an exaggeration. Although the outer armor was dented in large areas and covered with black ash, it did not crack at all after such a violent explosion. If it were an ordinary car, it would be almost totaled if it were hit like that.
