Star Forge Titan

"Ghost...soul...transformation." The Death Refuser, whose face was completely disfigured and even one of his arms was torn off, suddenly uttered a startup command that had been hidden until now.

Even though he was suppressed and beaten just now, Lucius, who had merged into the Death Rejector, did not use this command because he knew that it was his last chance.

Controlling the enormous negative energy output by the Forge of Pain, the former fourth-level wizard risked his soul being shattered and completed an extremely difficult form-transformation magic in a very short time.

The Death Rejecter who was stepped on by the Iron Giant turned into a white cloud-like wandering soul and fled to the horizon at the fastest speed he could achieve.

Even though he was temporarily freed from his restraints, the brutal beating he had received had left a profound impact on Lucius. He had no intention of fighting back, and only one thought remained: run! The farther the better! Never return to Elrond again!

"Evan, it's the remnants of divine power! The remnants of the evil god's power have given the Death Rejects an exceptionally strong vitality, making them so difficult to destroy!" Afrediya said anxiously.

"I understand." Ivan nodded and put the red-haired girl on his shoulder again.

A dark golden light flashed, and a row of U-shaped handles appeared on the shoulders and neck, which could be used to hold on to climb up.

At this time, Lucius didn't know what he was about to face. He only saw a traitor who had caused him to fall into his current situation standing in front of him.

"Aha, isn't this Lord Lucius? You look so miserable now." Khayang, who was hanging under the peanut butter, had a fake smile on his face, but spoke extremely sarcastic words.

"Step aside!"

With a roar, Lucius entered ghost form, consuming the magic power extracted from the Forge of Pain, and released a painful scream forward that was enough to shatter rock and steel.

In response, Khayon only used a very simple low-level spell.

Turn, this spell allows the recipient to change direction involuntarily.

Because it is classified as a neutral spell without any malicious intent, if the recipient does not cast a defensive spell, there is a certain probability that he will be affected by the spell's effects even if his magic resistance is very high.

Lucius, who was eager to escape, naturally had no time to release defensive magic. With his turbid mind now contaminated by the power of the evil god, he probably couldn't think of this. Khayon used all the enhanced casting techniques he mastered when releasing the spell.

Then, the head of the Death Rejecter suddenly turned upwards, and the painful scream that came out of its mouth turned into a noise that was spat into the sky.

The highly concentrated dark red magic sound waves shattered and dispersed the clouds in the sky, but did not cause any harm to Khayang who was standing in front of it. He even had the leisure to raise a hand to cover his ears.

"Don't be so quick to scream, asshole, why not look behind you."

The fake smile on the black-robed wizard's face had completely disappeared at this moment. He opened his eyes, which were usually narrowed into slits, and looked at Lucius, who had merged with the Death Rejector, with an extremely cold gaze.

Lucius subconsciously turned his head and saw the iron giant standing facing him, his right hand stretched behind his back, where a strong flame was rising and flickering.

The blue flame generated by the sublimation and fusion of original magic power was injected by Ivan into the heavenly weapon "Burning Justice".

Even without the attention of soul power, this legendary weapon still entered a true awakening state.

Soon, Alvin felt a silent and firm will coming into contact with him.

Originally, the other party was somewhat resistant to this unfamiliar user, but when he sensed Afrediya nearby.

The red-haired girl's appearance was similar to someone else's, which made the Cast Steel Soul with the appearance of a strong male angel in the consciousness space tremble subconsciously, and he habitually lay on the ground and assumed a posture suitable for being a chair.

"There are Chaos cultists." Before the other party was embarrassed, Alvin did not forget the current situation.

His words paused the movement of the Steel Soul Forger, and then a righteous expression appeared on the angular face of the phalanx.

"Justice...execution!" The ancient celestial language came out from his mouth.

This weapon with a red crystal blade and a golden hilt then began to grow rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In just a few seconds, 'Burning Justice' turned into a giant sword that could be held in the hands of a steel giant over 60 meters tall!

Then, the iron giant, who was covered in Gothic metal armor, grasped the huge sword with both hands. The bright red flame condensed from pure positive energy extended rapidly from the handle upwards like a flying fire dragon, and wrapped around the huge red crystal sword body that looked like a temple pillar.

Mighty and majestic singing continued to emanate from it, and an expression of fighting spirit appeared on Ivan's face.

"Frei, let's go!"

"Ok!"

Afrediya nodded vigorously, and the power of the Crown of Time was transferred from her hand to Ivan.

"Hi hi ...

The voices of the boy and girl overlapped with each other, as if ten fingers were clenched together to form a fist. The blue flame and the power of time and space, two magical powers that transcended the level, blended with each other.

A translucent spherical force field rapidly spread out in all directions!

Lucius, who tried to control the Death Rejects to dodge, felt like a flying insect trapped in amber, being forcibly fixed in place by a stagnant force.

It could only watch as the crystal sword burning with blazing flames in the hand of the Iron Giant came whistling towards it with the sound of wind!

The next second, the Iron Giant appeared behind the Death Rejecter, and the long sword in his hand fell heavily.

"No... this is... impossible!" The last words came out of Lucius' mouth.

A tiny crack appeared in the center of the Death Rejecter's body.

The purifying flame spread out from it, completely engulfing the entire Apocalypse-class Undead Colossus.

At the same time, the twisted soul that has turned into a demon will be completely burned to ashes along with all the sins!

Thus, the night of unrest in Avonmore, the capital of Elrond, finally came to an end.

Chapter 82 The King's Funeral

"Ah, it seems I won't be able to use this anymore."

Looking at the Death Rejects, whose skeletons were left only after being burned, Khayon chuckled and shrugged.

Exhausted, Peanut Butter lay in his messy, straw-colored hair, his furry belly rising and falling rhythmically. He was obviously so tired that he fell asleep.

Stepping on the remaining ashes after the burning of the Death Rejecter, as the dust rose, the young black-robed wizard took out a bottle of transparent liquid emitting a faint red light from his arms.

As if offering a farewell glass of light wine to the deceased, he slowly poured the bottle of highly concentrated holy water on the ground, a bright smile that truly came from the heart appeared on his face, but tears could not be suppressed from his eyes.

The tears were blown by the wind, bringing a burst of cold touch, and the ears could hear the sound of the holy water and the residual negative energy reacting with each other, making a slight "hissing" sound.

it's all over……

In the distance, the tall steel giant radiated bursts of light all over its body and began to become empty and unstable.

Cyan flames burst out from the joints of the Iron Giant, like a throttle valve being closed, and the runes engraved on the surface of the armor were extinguished one by one.

The heavy metal shell, which was made by absorbing a large amount of matter and using magic to create a high-pressure and high-temperature environment, also began to decompose into a large number of particles emitting magical light.

Ah, it seems that this plug-in needs to be paid for...

Ivan realized something and used his last bit of strength to move Afredia from his shoulders to the ground.

At this moment, he felt that his entire body, including the armor-shaped metal shell, was constantly decomposing and transforming into pure blue flames.

This power, which is sublimated from the original magic, has many incomprehensible characteristics and terrifying destructive power. Even if it is just ordinary matter, it can be forcibly converted into a huge amount of magic power as raw material through some unknown means, just like lighting firewood.

Afrediya showed a worried expression. The shell of the steel giant in front of her gradually melted away and completely turned into the original blue flame giant.

Because her magic power was exhausted, the hourglass in the girl's eyes had disappeared, and even the Crown of Time that had merged into her body was dormant. Therefore, she could not see the images from the future for the time being, and she had no idea what changes were happening to Ivan.

When all the shells were converted into magic power, a black spot appeared on the chest of the huge humanoid energy body that integrated this power without any symptoms.

It was pure darkness, without any other color, as if even the light itself was swallowed up.

The next moment, the huge energy body formed by the blue flames began to collapse inward.

An immeasurable amount of energy was compressed into a tiny point and finally condensed into a tangible material entity.

Bones, blood, muscles and even internal organs and other body tissues appeared one by one, and Ivan, who appeared in human form again, floated quietly in the air. His black hair floated upwards against gravity like flames, and his muscles showed a more natural and perfect feeling than before.

When all the magical light faded away, the boy slowly opened his eyes.

A slightly dimmer but more condensed golden light emanated from the pair of sharp eagle eyes, just like two golden stars hanging high in the night sky, quietly gazing at the earth that was still in darkness before dawn.

Then the remaining magic power dissipated, and Alvin fell down calmly.

When his feet touched the ground again, the hot sword of burning justice also pierced the rock beside him.

Looking at the worried red-haired girl, a smile appeared on the black-haired boy's face.

"I'm back, Fleur."

"Woo!" Hearing his words, Afrediya could no longer suppress her excitement. She opened her arms and flew over, hugging him tightly.

After releasing the dragon bloodline, the red-haired girl's power was so great that she was like a giant python, enough to break the ribs of an ordinary person. Fortunately, Alvin didn't have to worry about this.

While feeling the soft touch of the ball, he also heard the girl whispering in his ear with sobs:

"Welcome back! Alvin!"

The long night is finally over.

On the distant horizon, the rising sun, symbolizing hope, gradually rises.

The warm light spread to the earth and also enveloped the boys and girls hugging each other.

After defeating the Undead Cult and the mad wizard Lucius, the residents of Avonmore still have many problems to face.

Makeshift barricades needed to be removed, damaged blocks needed to be repaired, the injured needed treatment, and the remaining cult members who had escaped needed to be caught and hanged.

Everything needs everyone's concerted efforts to solve it together.

However, the Demon King Gustav, who was supposed to be in charge of the overall situation, did not appear in public. Instead, bad news continued to come out of the palace.

Within a few days, even the civilians in the lower city were speculating that the Demon King might not have much time left.

Fortunately, the first princess Afrediya stepped forward to take on the important task. She and her young extraordinary people from reformist backgrounds personally participated in every post-disaster reconstruction work.

The warriors went to clear the traffic jam. Having undergone the secret transformation and extraordinary promotion ceremony, each of them was comparable to a heavy engineering machine such as an excavator or a crane. The collapsed building debris was also carried away by shoulders and hands relying purely on manpower.

As long as the people trapped in the rubble are still breathing, they can be found by the wanderers with keen hearing. Then the mages will use the safest and most efficient method to rescue them, and the subsequent work will be handed over to the temple priests.

Although they wore plate-chain composite armor, carried battle axes, and had muscles comparable to those of combat professionals, they were also skilled in using healing spells, able to heal people's physical injuries. They could also use axes to split open beams or masonry walls that were pressing down on trapped people.

Among these people, a tall young man wearing a mithril mask attracted special attention.

He was always on the front lines of every job, single-handedly lifting and moving tons of collapsed wall debris. He also single-handedly pinned down a 3-horned rhinoceros that had gone berserk due to injury.

In addition, they would not refuse even dirty work such as digging out silted waterways.

Other extraordinary people might complain about the complicated work and the various requests from the people, but he always remained silent, as strong and quiet as a mountain, just finishing one job quickly and well, and then turning around to do another.

It's like a ruthless task-doing machine.

Because he was often seen together with Princess Afrediya, the people quietly referred to him as "that prince." His unwavering dedication to helping others was likened to the perfect knight in a fairy tale.

Therefore, compared to the title of "Prince" which still only exists in people's imagination, people prefer to call it "Knight", a knight with a mask, abbreviated as - Kamen Rider.

In short, after experiencing these events, the people of the capital, Avonmore, have become more favorable towards the reformists, and some new policies that would have been resisted in the past have been implemented very smoothly.

And today, the funeral for the 42nd Demon King Gustav Adol Andre Gusmith was officially held under the watchful eyes of envoys from various countries.

"He was an excellent king, a brave reformer, and the best father..."

Afrediya, wearing a black long dress and a black veil, recited eulogies one by one. The red-haired girl's voice was sad yet calm, like a lonely violin playing back and forth in the small square in front of the royal mausoleum.

Ivan, wearing a mithril mask, stood quietly behind Afrediya, and next to her stood Ostolfo.

The little prince, who was wearing a men's suit for the first time, cried so hard that his eyes were red and swollen, and he was sobbing and almost fainting. If Maria, who was wearing black mourning clothes, had not supported him from behind, perhaps His Royal Highness would have really knelt on the ground and cried.

The people who came to the funeral spontaneously also couldn't stop crying.

Although new problems arose due to the promulgation of the New Deal, the quality of life of civilians was greatly improved during Gustav's reign compared with the previous hundred years.

Even ordinary farmers can feed most children, and these urban residents living in Avonmore live a much better life than before, and many of them have even become middle class.

Therefore, they mourned the deceased king from the bottom of their hearts.

Under a big tree a hundred meters away from the mausoleum, Ashram was pushing a man wearing a hooded cloak and sitting in a wheelchair. He and Gustav were like brothers, but he did not go to the funeral. He just stood there and looked at the funeral scene from afar.

"To be honest, I'm really curious." The leader of the black knights, whose arms were wrapped in bandages, had a mocking expression on his face as if he was trying hard to suppress a smile.

"What does it feel like to see yourself being buried?"

Chapter 83 Autumn Wind and Falling Leaves

The upper plane, the sky defense line of the Fire Realm.

"Enemy demons are out! Mana spectrum analysis! Dark green! Unholy demons!"

Sharp warnings were transmitted via wide-area telepathic communication, and many Celestials retreated in their own ways.

Hundreds of kilometers away, a seraph with steel wings on his back and iron feathers at the end spewing scorching flames backwards streaked across the sky like a meteor.

Her current flying speed has reached Mach 2.25. She is serving as a mobile reserve to deal with high-level demons, rushing to the battlefield at a speed of 2410 kilometers per hour to carry out decapitation missions.

Beneath the pair of steel wings that were illuminated red by the flames, there were six Gospel light self-guided incendiary swords and two Salamandra heavy supersonic incendiary swords fixed.
