The Warrior of Love

"but……"

"This kind of game that takes bad taste to the extreme, as if treating people's fate and dignity as stones on the roadside, can bring more pleasure from tragedy than comedy - this kind of designer is not a good person.

If I obey its rules, won’t I just become part of the other director’s bad movie?”

Jiang Liu laughed provocatively: "It allows only one of the contestants and the organizer to survive, just to see you abuse the participating community, or be killed alone on the throne...

I won’t do that!”

As he spoke, Jiang Liu had already summoned a divine sword emitting platinum light from the dark space.

"Solve the stupid puzzle, let the sword do the talking!"

"No, that dragon is a true pureblood—"

"That's great. I want to try what it's like to be the strongest race!"

Chapter 879: Cheating Jiang Liu

Having said that, Jiang Liu really can't kill the dragon - at least not now.

Although the organizer of this game is the devil Dracula, it is essentially a game related to the "sun".

Not only does the name of the game allude to the orbit of the sun, the third victory condition [collecting the shattered starry sky and dedicating the "Beast Belt" to the throne] also requires solving puzzles related to it.

But these things did not bother Jiang Liu, after all, he was a brainiac. Based on Leticia's confession and his own reasoning, he had roughly figured out the specific outline of this game.

The first point to make is that the somewhat silly dragon outside was actually summoned by combining Leticia's true form with the solar sovereignty of Ophiuchus.

That’s right, Leticia, who is now bound to the throne, is not actually a real person, but a spiritual being that looks very much like a physical entity!

Leticia's gift "Dragon's Remains" and the godhood become guards wandering outside, and the spirit on the throne is used as bait to mislead challengers into making wrong judgments, which is a trap for them;

If someone else invaded this castle, then when they saw the bound Leticia, they would subconsciously think that the "revolutionary" in victory condition 4: [Piercing the heart of the chained revolutionary] refers to this girl.

In fact, even if Leticia's spirit body was destroyed, the game would not be over - otherwise it would have been conquered long ago.

If my inference is correct, Leticia's body has now become the "heart" of the dragon, so it is self-evident what needs to be done to fulfill the fourth victory condition.

To be fair, this is indeed an extremely cruel game, both for the contestants and for Leticia.

At least three of the four victory conditions lead to the same outcome, which is the death of the organizer... The remaining one will actually lead to the same consequence, but Jiang Liu doesn't know it yet.

Jiang Liu naturally would not allow such a thing to happen, so he took out the Sword of Salvation not to kill the dragon directly.

"Zheng!"

After a few crisp steel sounds, all the chains on Leticia were cut off.

These chains may be difficult to break free from for ordinary people, but they are nothing in front of the sharp and unparalleled sword of salvation.

However, even if the tangible object was cut off, Leticia did not gain freedom.

The so-called "revolutionary bound by chains", what imprisoned Leticia was never the hard steel, but the game itself, that is, the rules of the small garden world!

In this world where everything is determined by the Gift Game, the rules of the game recognized by the Box Center cannot be violated!

As long as this game cannot be ended, it will be useless even if the chains on Leticia are cut, the throne beneath her is destroyed, or even the entire castle is disintegrated.

Even someone as strong as Jiang Liu can only follow the rules of the small garden - but that's not necessarily the case.

Although he was not yet able to directly confront the center of the box, Jiang Liu had no awe for this mechanically operating world will.

After all, no matter how strict the rules are, there will always be loopholes.

"Well……"

With a groan, Leticia lost the chains and fell off the throne. However, she did not fall on the cold ground, but fell into a warm embrace.

"What are you going to do... There is no hope for me to survive in this game."

"Not always."

Jiang Liu smiled at the blonde girl in his arms. His unfathomable look made Leticia's heart move.

Does he really have a solution?

"I can only say that the person who designed this game for you was too clever for his own good. He designed these four victory conditions just to ensure that you had no hope of escape. However, it was precisely because of this that my idea became possible."

Jiang Liu said: "There is no need to kill Leticia, as long as you kill the Devil King Dracula, the game will end."

Leticia frowned slightly, and a look of confusion appeared in her ruby-like eyes.

"What are you talking about?"

Leticia herself is the devil Dracula. Although they are listed as the first and second victory conditions respectively, they actually refer to the same thing!

"No, 'Leticia' and 'Dracula' are not the same."

Jiang Liu smiled and recalled his previous experience: "The prototype of Dracula is the Romanian tyrant Vlad III. Because of his father, Vlad III is also called the "Son of the Dragon" - but it is just a title, not a bloodline or inheritance.

Although you can summon pure-blooded dragons by using the Sun Sovereignty, I don’t think your group of vampires has any connection with Vlad III…”

Generally speaking, apart from folk legends such as Vlad III (Count Dracula) and Countess Camilla, the more popular theory about the origin of vampires is Cain, who was rejected by God in the "Old Testament".

In reality, it was a wrong impression of porphyria patients in medieval Europe that led to the birth of the image of vampires.

(People with this disease are afraid of direct sunlight, their skin will lesion, and bloodletting was the main treatment at the time.)

In other words, no matter which version it is, there is no actual causal relationship between vampires and dragons.

Moreover, according to some of Leticia's descriptions, as well as the overall structure and details of the castle, the Leticia clan is not a "mysterious and ancient" group, but rather possesses a high level of civilization and artistic attainments.

This ethnic group obviously originated independently and has nothing to do with the Old Testament or European legends.

Calling Leticia "Demon Lord Dracula" is just using a distorted heritage to cover up her original appearance and make her degenerate into a demon lord.

If this were the Type-Moon world, this would be a typical "innocent monster".

Leticia thinks she is Dracula, but in Jiang Liu's eyes, she and Dracula are independent individuals and there is no need to be bound together.

Perhaps the Box Garden Center has already identified the Vampire Knight as the Demon King and given Leticia this new true name, but Jiang Liu is a person who will not be bound by rules, and has a sharp blade that materializes this characteristic.

"Luckily I brought this with me."

Jiang Liu waved his hand and a chaotic shadow spread out, from which fell out a blonde beauty who was trapped tightly by black chains.

I don’t know if it’s because she’s lived in the Far East for too long and picked up some bad habits, but the way the chains are tied is very revealing, which perfectly highlights the proud figure of the blonde lady, and it looks like a sex suit.

Leticia: “…”

The little girl in Jiang Liu's arms looked at the chains on her adult version that looked so indecent, and she subconsciously shrank her body, and her eyes turned slightly pale when she looked at Jiang Liu.

"Forehead……"

As expected of Jiang Liu, he remained calm in the face of this embarrassing scene and continued to speak seriously: "Leticia, are you ready?"

“What, what preparations?” Leticia became alert.

Jiang Liu smiled silently——

Ka!

The chains on the "Dragon's Relic" instantly collapsed, and the wings behind it turned into shadows and attacked the two.

Leticia's pupils shrank, but Jiang Liu remained unmoved. The savior sword in his hand emitted a platinum light, like the sunlight melting the ice and snow, and easily dispelled the black shadow.

"It might hurt if I put it in directly...but I'll be gentle."

Putting down the magic sword, Jiang Liu held in his hand a short sword made of gold that looked extremely exquisite.

It was a dagger that was more of a work of art than a weapon, with a total length of about 40 centimeters. The golden hilt was inlaid with bright red jade, shining with an unpredictable luster like an eye.

Although it does not seem to have any deterrent power, only Jiang Liu knows that this is a strongest sword that is no less precious than the World-Saving Divine Sword, and is even more useful in certain situations!

So, without hesitation, Jiang Liu stabbed the dagger into the chest of the surprised Leticia!

Zheng——

She didn't feel any pain or stimulation. She just felt her consciousness blurry. In a trance, she heard the sound of something being cut off... like the string of a kite...

Chapter 880: Cut off the fate!

hum!

Almost at the same time when Leticia fell into a trance, an inexplicable force descended upon the "Dragon's Shadow" and pulled the dazed Leticia back to reality.

"How is this going?"

Leticia looked at the "Dragon's Remains" in surprise and asked in confusion: "It... evolved?"

Yes, the adult version of Leticia's "Dragon's Shadow" has evolved at this moment!

Blood-colored lines extended across her fair skin, like changing flames or cloud patterns, making her look even more enchanting, and her clothes turned into a long dress with mainly red and black colors and a Gothic style.

This shadow has undergone considerable changes both in appearance and aura.

If before it was still in the top five digits, now it has barely crossed that threshold and reached a higher level.

What is particularly shocking is that in terms of spirituality, the remnant, which should have been a gift of the dragon species, now seems to be more prominent as a "ghost species"?

"Could it be that!"

Even though she didn't understand what exactly happened, a name flashed through Leticia's mind.

"Devil King Dracula..."

"Yes, she is Dracula...or rather, she has become Dracula."

Jiang Liu put Leticia on the ground, looked at the changing "Dragon's Shadow", and said slowly: "It is originally an illusory image that is considered to be fabricated, and the line of cause and effect is also extremely fragile - I cut off your fate of belonging to "Demon King Dracula"! "

"Varied--"

Leticia was speechless for a moment, and took a deep breath before she recovered.

"But...how is this possible!"

"Heh, maybe I'm lucky. I happen to have such a weapon with me."

Jiang Liu still stared at the remaining figure, without any sign of relief in his eyes.

“But for this game, the existence of “Demon Lord Dracula” is necessary, so naturally I chose to inherit your godhood, which is almost equivalent to your own “Dragon’s Shadow”.

In other words, the real devil is right in front of you and me now, are you surprised?"

Leticia: “…”

Jiang Liu laughed a few times and then restrained himself, still looking serious.

Honestly speaking, Jiang Liu had guessed a long time ago that the fate of "Devil Lord Dracula" would be transferred to the remains, but he did not expect that the remains' strength would actually be enhanced.

I think it was the fate of the Demon King that further enhanced the spirituality of the remains, fusing Dracula's false heritage with Leticia's original divinity.

In terms of power alone, it is far beyond the five-digit demon king like Pest.

"Impossible, how could something like that happen...how did you do it?"

Faced with Leticia's question, Jiang Liu couldn't help but glance at the dagger in his hand.

"Cut the sword of destiny"!

——This is an ordinary short sword with almost no physical attack power;

But it has only one ability, which is to sever the threads of cause and effect and fate, and can break contracts together, even contracts of god level are no exception!

In addition, it grants the sword holder the "eyes of wisdom (clairvoyance)" to see invisible things. If the holder has sufficient qualifications, even the "realm" can be cut off.

This is one of the powers Jiang Liu obtained in the world of "God Slayer". This is the first time he has used it...

After coming to the Little Garden, and realizing that this world uses the Gift Game as a way to resolve all disputes, he became keenly aware of the value of this dagger.

Jiang Liu did not think that this sword could ignore the conditions and directly cut off the rules of the gift game - that would be equivalent to directly confronting the will of the box center.

But on the other hand, as long as you don't interfere directly with the rules, you can operate on other concepts and contracts.

For example, to sever the false heritage that Leticia carries!

The "Sword of Cutting Destiny" might not be useful in other worlds, but it is a cheating-level item in this little garden.

If used skillfully, it can easily resolve an already hopeless gift game like this one.

Because many times, to untie a knot, you don’t need brute force, but just a “thread”.

This golden dagger can cut the thread called "cause and effect" in a tangled mess and create "thread ends" that do not exist!
