Man on the ark, forced to become king

A bloodthirsty grin curled at the corner of his mouth, and in the blink of an eye, another pile of limbs and torsos appeared!

Lin Lu wielded the spiked wheel as if it were empty. Without the suppressive fire of the revolver, the bullets fired from the short gun alone could not cause him any effective damage. Even if he suffered some minor cuts, they would heal in the blink of an eye.

But the papal knights, who were being crushed at close range, did not retreat. Instead, they charged forward relentlessly, using their bodies as a barrier to create a bloody quagmire.

From a more distant direction, the sound of thunder resounded through the sky!

boom!

Sparks flew, and a violent shockwave exploded outwards, engulfing the onrushing Papal Knights along with Lin Lu. The intense heat rose, and flames engulfed an area of ​​hundreds of meters in radius.

In the center of the holy city, a beam of light shone from the top of a towering stone tower, tearing through the sky for thousands of meters in an instant.

boom!

The earth trembled, sending up waves of dust several meters high. A section of the ground hundreds of meters deep caved in. The tattered steel armor vaporized under the intense heat. Everything under the radiance was indiscriminately decomposed. The terrifying temperature even caused the soil within the area to show signs of crystallization.

has it ended?

Violet, who was mixed in with the retreating crowd, stopped and tried to see the scene in the smoke and dust.

The beam of light from the Revelation Stone Tower is one of Laterano's trump cards, capable of striking from extremely long distances, and even the strongest metals cannot withstand its melting power.

It's probably over, right?

She desperately hoped the outcome would be as she expected.

The enemy's strength far exceeded expectations; even the heavily armored Wendigo of the past had not been able to achieve this level of power.

The attacks from revolvers could be forcibly blocked, and the short guns were almost ineffective. Wounds inflicted by long-range, high-powered firearms would heal in the blink of an eye, yet none of them could withstand a single round from the enemy.

It can be said that this war, up to this point, is a one-sided massacre by the enemy!

This is like a demon crawling out of hell!

How could Lateran's firearms have ever been so ineffective?

But reality is cruel. When their prized firearms fail, they are no stronger than other races, and are even somewhat weaker. In close combat, they are no match for that devil. Moreover, he can also recover his own life by taking the lives of others.

Under such circumstances, how many sacrifices would it take to end this war?

Hard to imagine.

If possible, Violet desperately hoped that the terrifying demon would die under the bombardment of the Revelation Stone Tower, ending this nightmare.

But reality still disappointed her.

As the dust settled and the earth turned into crystal, in the very center of the depression, the man with tattered clothes still stood in the same spot, his body as if cast in gold, radiating light. The wounds left by the burning and bombardment healed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, returning to normal in just a few breaths.

"That's powerful! Now that's more like it!"

Wiping the dust off her face, Lin Lu shook her neck, her joints cracking.

The power of that beam of light was indeed terrifying; even he suffered severe damage after enduring it.

But for the Golden Tree, let alone serious injury, even if it died on the spot, it could be fully revived, so it was no big deal.

Unless the golden tree is cut down, it is impossible to kill him directly with a high-powered weapon.

With the Golden Tree here, there is no way to kill him on this land.

Boom!

With a leap, Lin Lu landed once again in the midst of the army formation. With a stomp of her foot, a dazzling golden light spread out, and the ground hundreds of meters away exploded, engulfing everyone standing on it.

Combat Skill: Golden Earth!

He got hit pretty hard, so he should be more serious now.

Relying solely on weapons to fight is inefficient and could take an indefinite amount of time; you never know when you'll get hit again.

Although you won't die, nobody likes to stand there and get beaten up.

Ow! ! !

After the combat skills were demonstrated, prayer followed immediately.

The crimson emblem unfolded in the void, and a ferocious dragon head emerged from it, spewing forth a torrent of icy mist that swept across the land.

Dragon's Prayer - Politics' Icy Mist!

With strength restored, the power of spells and prayers naturally increases as well. As long as one is willing to invest, it is not impossible to expand an ordinary spell to the level of a calamity.

Of course, forcibly pulling out the power can also make the spell unstable. If you are not careful, it can turn into a big bomb that hurts others and yourself.

However, the Dragon Offering Prayer was Lin Lu's forte, so it naturally wouldn't go out of control like Rena's Full Moon Prayer. Even when the dragon's head was enlarged to a hundred meters, it remained stable.

Ice mist, like a waterfall, blanketed the earth, freezing vegetation instantly and turning the wilderness into a snowfield.

Where the fog passed, frost spread, the temperature plummeted, and thousands of meters of plains were sealed off by a dragon's breath.

Call ~

A strong wind rose again, blowing away the white clouds in the sky. The sunlight, which had been blocked, shone down and reflected a brilliant luster on the undulating ice.

The heavily armored papal knights were slow and couldn't escape the coverage of the icy mist. The terrifyingly low temperature froze them in place, turning them into frost-white ice sculptures.

The special operations team ran relatively fast, but only a few members managed to escape and avoid being frozen in ice.

But the nightmare was not over yet.

The crimson emblem reappeared, with a similar ferocious dragon head, this time spewing forth billowing flames.

Dragon's Prayer - The Flame of Aqir!

After the ice comes the blazing fire!

The frozen frost instantly vaporized, creating a large cloud of water vapor, resembling a fairyland.

However, hidden within this fairyland lies a chilling killing intent.

Ice and fire, two worlds apart.

Some of those frozen by the frost were not yet dead, struggling weakly, but before they could break free, they were engulfed by flames falling from the sky. The intense heat, enough to melt metal, fell on their bodies, turning their suits of armor into iron coffins.

As the flames rose, even the armor could not withstand them, turning into flowing molten iron.

Call ~

The wind swept across the plains, dispelling the thick fog. The land, ravaged by the double devastation, was a scene of utter devastation, littered with solidified debris. The Lateran soldiers, trapped within, were reduced to ashes by the ice and fire, leaving not even a trace of their bodies.

Two prayers were all it took to wipe out Lateran's thousands of troops!

It's important to understand that Papal Knights are not ordinary soldiers. To become a Papal Knight, one must first have excellent physical fitness, and secondly, be able to handle a revolver with tremendous recoil. Such a person would be an elite among elites, no matter where they are placed.

Even the well-established Lateran couldn't withstand losing so many Papal Knights at once.

Not to mention, many special operations teams also perished in the battle; those were all top-notch elites.

They suffered heavy losses, crippling their foundations. In a major battle, the enemy emerged unscathed, while they themselves were severely wounded.

The gale was still blowing, scattering the smoke from the battlefield and leaving behind a desolate landscape.

The remaining people dared not linger any longer and had no choice but to hastily retreat.

Lin Lu didn't chase after them, and they still managed to escape.

Where can we escape to?

The holy city is there; you can run away, but you can't hide. You'll run into it again eventually; at most, you'll just live a little longer.

Instead of chasing after those people, it's better to stop, catch your breath, and then slowly look for them again.

However, there was one thing that puzzled him greatly.

Lateran sent a sizable army, including papal knights, special forces, the Langdon Guard, sorcerers, and archers—a considerable force for the size of their territory.

However, among these people, there didn't seem to be any strong individuals who were worth paying attention to. Was it because they didn't come at all, or was there another reason?

-------------------------------------

Lateran, Papal Palace.

Before the war began, despite the Pope's forceful orders, many people did not take it seriously.

Because there is only one enemy.

At first, no one believed it, but after Mostima and Fiameta confirmed it, the news was verified, which relieved many people.

What kind of war is it if one country fights against one person?

It's at most a terrorist attack. No matter how strong the enemy is, he's still just one person. How strong can he be?

They were not unfamiliar with exceptionally strong individuals; the one who led the heavily armored Wendigo forces was quite powerful. However, in the face of national strength, individual strength seemed insignificant.

Fighting on home soil, they have too many ways to deal with it—that's how it should be.

But now, harsh reality has slapped them hard in the face.

The intelligence was correct; there was indeed only one enemy, but this one person was ridiculously strong.

A body strong enough to withstand firearms, and superhuman regenerative abilities—these are all minor details.

Surviving the bombardment of the Revelation Stone Tower can also be explained by secret techniques. After all, it was just one attack, and although it was powerful, it wasn't necessarily impossible to deal with.

What horrified them most was the man's magic.

A single spell can cover an area of ​​several thousand meters in radius, its power so great that it could even wipe out their elite troops.
