Knight Asylum

As a result, they are now actively accelerating the erosion of Helheim Forest to make the golden fruit arrive earlier.

Red was very resistant to this plan. Before the golden fruit came, everything still had a chance, but when the golden fruit came, everything would be doomed. The only one who could change it was the owner of the golden fruit.

"Things are different and people are different..."

Reid let out a long sigh.

"By the way, if you want to fight, can you wait until I finish this cup of tea?"

The sea breeze blew, accompanied by the sound of a heavy whistle, and a woman wearing a sleeveless jacket and looking quite stern and cold walked out from the corner, looking in Reid's direction with sharp eyes.

Red searched his memory but couldn't find the relevant fragment.

"I don't have any grudge against you, so why are you looking at me like that?" Reid raised the hot tea in his hand towards the woman, "If you don't mind--"

Before Red could finish his words, he felt a gust of cold wind blowing towards him, and the cup in his hand was kicked away. The hard sole of the shoe was only a few centimeters away from Red's face.

The woman who kept kicking narrowed her eyes slightly, "Put away your frivolous attitude, the battle has already begun, and next time, I will not show mercy."

Red tilted his head back slightly, "I see. I am sorry for being rude, but I must emphasize one thing to you. If this is a sacred and solemn battle, you should reveal your identity first and let me realize that this is a serious battle, instead of kicking my tea away with your feet."

The woman was stunned and put down her legs. "You really have a nice mouth. Well, I am an undead beast. The name you humans use is Category Q. To make it easier to live in your society, I also have a human name, Chengguang."

"Undead beast?"

Reid lowered his head helplessly.

"I have already smashed the Genesis Stone, why are you still fighting?"

The 2 of Spades is a low-level cannon fodder with no way to communicate, but the Johto in front of him is of category Q, has very high intelligence, and from the tone of his voice it seems that he has lived in human society for a long time, so he is someone with whom he can communicate.

Perhaps we can learn from this Category Q why the undead beasts continue to fight?

"For the future of my people, the only reason I fight is this," Cheng Guang said impatiently, "Can we fight now?"

"Ah, no - I already understand your desire to continue your own tribe, but what does this have to do with defeating me?" Red felt more question marks in his head.

"You... don't know?" Cheng Guang looked at Reid again with surprise.

"I have no idea. If you'd like—"

"You beat me," Chengguang took a few steps back and assumed a fighting stance.

"…What if I lose?"

"I won't let you die with that huge pressure and the guilt of failure."

Seeing that he had no choice but to fight, Reid let out a sigh of relief, raised his hand, took out the Sengoku Driver and slapped it on his waist.

"I don't want to fight you if I can help it."

"You talk too much!"

Cheng Guang's entire body glowed with light, and his slender body grew larger in an instant, transforming into a tiger-like undead beast with sharp barbs all over its body and Mohawk-style hair. It raised its sharp claws and attacked Reid.

“Because I like to solve problems through communication.”

Seeing Chengguang's fighting posture, Reid had no choice but to press the Shenghong Lock and activate the Integrated Lock simultaneously.

The cracks in the Helheim Forest opened, and dozens of fruit armors fell down and crashed into the direction of Chengguang.

"This little trick won't work on me!"

Chengguang raised his right hand, and his sharp claws fell down, bouncing all the fruit armor back.

The integrated lock flashed, and all the fruit armors shattered, reconstructed under the operation of the mechanical arm, and fell on Reid.

Facing the aggressive Chengguang, Red lowered his shoulders, neither dodging nor evading, allowing Chengguang's hooked claws to fall. But before the sharp claws were about to touch Red, the claws suddenly stopped.

"What do you mean?" Cheng Guang was a little annoyed, "Are you looking down on me?!"

"No - I don't think I understand your determination enough, so I will take your attack head-on!"

Red put his hands on his hips and puffed out his chest.

"This is my understanding! If you respect this battle, don't hold back, attack with all your might!"

Cheng Guang was stunned and subconsciously took a few steps back. He stared at Reid for a long time and clenched his fists. "I see. I take back what I said before. You take this battle more seriously than I thought!"

Red's heart skipped a beat and he turned his eyes away guiltily.

His idea was simple: the most effective way to avoid a fight was to make the other side realize that the gap in strength between the two sides was so great that there was no need to fight at all.

The best way to make the other party realize that the gap in strength between the two sides is really huge is to stand still and let the other party scrape you.

"Okay - here I come!"

Chengguang threw away the hook in his hand, turned sideways, gathered his strength and punched towards Reid's chest.

Reid put his hands on his hips and puffed out his chest in the confident manner of Tiga.

"boom--"

A powerful gust of wind blew out from Red's back.

Red's shoulders shook violently and he slowly lowered his head.

Chengguang's fist had smashed into his chest armor. If his chest armor had not been thick enough, he might have been pierced in the chest.

"cough--"

Reid coughed loudly.

It hurts so much! It hurts so much! Isn't it said that even the highest-ranking undead beasts are not very strong!?

Why is it so fierce! ?

"How is it? Do you feel my determination to fight you?" Cheng Guang drew out his fist and took a few steps back. "Come, let me see your determination!"

The corner of Red's mouth twitched.

Something is wrong, very wrong.

It's not like Red hasn't seen higher-level undead beasts before. Even though it's only a Jack of Diamonds, how could a Category Q Chengguang be so much stronger?

"I understand. I'll show you my determination—"

Taking back what he said before, he must have a good talk with Cheng Guang.

Reid pressed the fruit knife on the Zhan Ji driver and cut three times in a row.

"bring it on!"

Cheng Guang was very excited.

Then Red swung his fist at Chengguang's head.

Then Cheng Guang lost consciousness. When she woke up again, she was sitting on a chair with all her limbs locked to the armrests and legs with special metal.

Chapter 1090: Fake Golden Fruit

Chengguang glanced at the metal that bound her limbs and raised her head towards the isolation glass in front of her. Reid, Kiryu Sento and others were looking in her direction with subtle expressions.

After thinking for a while, Cheng Guang understood the situation.

"I underestimated your awareness. Now we can officially start fighting."

Chengguang didn't have any idea about Red hitting her on the head. Red stood there and let her attack. The chest she attacked was a fatal part, so she should naturally stand there and let Red attack her, because she fainted after being hit on the head, which only showed that she was not strong enough.

So Chengguang is now eager to fight with Reid again.

"Ah, no, before that can I ask you a few questions?" Red's head shrank.

He wasn't afraid to fight Chengguang just because he was almost pierced through the chest by Chengguang.

He just cares a lot.

Although his integrated armor is not indestructible, it is not made of paper. So far, only Mello and Mera can truly break his defense.

What level of enemy are Melo and Mela?

An omnipotent power, a complete omniscient and omnipotent power plus the power of creation.

Even though Mello and Mera didn't manage to punch through his armor with one punch, Cheng Guang did it. If it weren't for the fact that the previous battle with Mello had increased the thickness of Shenghong's armor, that punch could have really punched through him directly.

This is not a power an undead beast should have.

And Chengguang is not the strongest undead beast. There are at least four undead beasts stronger than Chengguang.

Therefore, they must know why the undead beasts suddenly became so much stronger and what the conditions were for them to become so much stronger.

"Okay, what do you want to know?"

I don’t know if it’s because he’s already fought before, but Cheng Guang was quite straightforward this time and didn’t say anything else. If you want to know, then you’d better beat me and I’ll be like taking off my pants to fart.

"You...Batoshi, what should I ask?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, Red became conflicted and turned to Kiryu Sento for advice.

"The monument of creation has been destroyed by Red, why do you still want to fight the extreme battle?" Kiryu Battle Rabbit asked after thinking for a while.

"For the future of their own tribe, would the undead beasts have any other reason to fight?" Cheng Guang frowned uncomfortably.

This is the second time she has answered this question.

"Your name is Red, right? Since you took my punch, I will answer you one more question at most."

"...It wasn't me who asked the question just now!" Red thought for a while and put his hands on his hips.

Kiryuu Sento was stunned for a moment before he suddenly realized what was going on. He also put his hands on his hips and said, "Yeah, it's not like I took your punch, so you have no obligation to answer my questions!"

Shiromitsu raised a brow, looked at Kiryuu Sento, then looked at Red, and tutted uncomfortably, "Okay, two questions."

"Battle Rabbit, what should we do?"

"This...I'm not sure about this," Kiryu Sento felt a little regretful. He should have asked a different question earlier.

After thinking it over, Red decided to ask directly.

"Chengguang, have you come into contact with someone recently and gained powerful strength?"

Chengguang gradually frowned. This reaction made Red's heart skip a beat. He thought he had asked the wrong question, but Chengguang's next sentence made everyone present stunned.

"Didn't you also gain power? Why are you asking this?"

"I got power too?"

"Just now, weren't you very skilled at using it?" Cheng Guang tilted his head and looked towards Red's pocket, "The power of the golden fruit."

Red was startled and immediately took out the Shenghong Lock from his pocket, "Is this what you are talking about?"

Cheng Guang stared at the lock in Red's hand for a while, hesitant, but nodded, "There is indeed the scent of the golden fruit in it, so I and you must fight."

Red's face gradually darkened, "You want to use the power of the golden fruit to give birth to your own tribe."

Chengguang tilted his head, "Is this really necessary to ask?"

Kiryuu Sento held his chin in thought for a while before his expression changed drastically, "You... also gained some of the power of the Golden Fruit!?"

Cheng Guang glanced at Kiryuu Zhantu, "You guys, don't you know anything?"

"No, we now know—"

Before Kiryu Sento could finish his words, Shiromitsu stood up.

Without any forceful movement, the restraints they had carefully prepared broke like tofu.

"Didn't I gain some of the power of the golden fruit?"

Chengguang raised his hand to brush off the debris on his body and walked to the isolation glass, staring at Red on the other side of the screen.

"I got..."

The specially made glass shattered, and Cheng Guang's entire body emitted a dazzling golden light. The vines of the Helheim Forest emerged from her body, forming a white robe that emitted a sacred light.

"It is a complete golden fruit."

Reid's pupils shrank slightly, and he subconsciously clenched the Shenghong Lock in his hand.

The aura emanating from Cheng Guang was very similar to the Shenghong Lock in his hand, but it was much stronger and more complete than his Shenghong Lock.

If his Shenghong Lock Seed is the moon that can show a faint light in the night sky with the help of the sun's light, then the city light is the sun itself.

"But, my golden fruit is still fake now." Chengguang twisted his neck left and right, and the white clothes on his body fell away. "Only by defeating other undead beasts that also hold fake golden fruits can my golden fruit and my tribe become real."

"And you, Red, you are the only true holder of the golden fruit."

Chengguang raised his finger and pointed at Reid.
