People are at the border, but they become the incarnation of the sun

Lakkad finally stood up and steadied himself. His haggard face trembled slightly, and his golden eyes were full of disbelief.

He was actually repulsed? !

And by a weak fader?

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!... Die...!!!"

A hoarse roar like a hiss echoed in his ears. Lakkad, revealing his snake-like voice, swung the Blasphemous Holy Sword in his hand again and brought it down suddenly. At the same time, a crimson cloud condensed above his head, slowly wriggling and flowing like a flame.

Skulls emerged from it and flew towards Reinhardt.

That is the secret technique of Miguel Volcano, a composite secret technique created by the God-Eating Serpent combining its own curses. It not only possesses powerful fire power, but also possesses extremely strong curse abilities.

But seeing this scene, both Reinhardt and Lani were completely unmoved.

"...It's over, Lacarde, your defeat is inevitable..."

Looking at the skulls lingering in the dome of the cave like a dark cloud, Lani murmured softly.

At the same time, cold magic once again filled the area around Lani, freezing the flying skull as if it was about to freeze everything.

The remaining ones were also destroyed by the sword waves swung by the brilliant golden flames burning on the pyroxene Kris in Melina's hand.

The cooperation between the two was perfect, and even Lani couldn't help but glance at Melina from time to time.

My inner evaluation of Melina also improved to a higher level——

A woman with the appearance of a Kalia knight.

"This boring trick should end with the Blasphemy King Lakkad."

Reinhardt looked at the curse attack coming towards him with an indifferent expression, and at the same time, Lacard also swung down the Holy Sword of Blasphemy.

Swah——

The scene that Lakkad had expected of chopping the damned Faded One into pieces did not happen. Instead, the Blasphemous Holy Sword in his hand broke, and his secret technique disappeared along with it.

At that moment, Reinhardt just swung the long sword in his hand, and his sword was cut through like butter by a hot knife, without even a sound, as if everything was wiped out.

The Blasphemous Holy Sword was broken cleanly in half, and half of the broken sword flew far away and stuck on the rock wall.

The sudden break of the sword in his hand also caused Lakkad to lean back. His huge body suddenly fell into a brief stiffness, and he watched helplessly as the Faded One leaped into the air and attacked him.

"Awake from your wretched, blasphemous dream, Larcade."

A powerful force surged from the Hunting Snake Spear, and Reinhardt swung it downward. The condensed light blade immediately swept across the earth and swept across the body of the snake.

Then, light filled Lakkad's entire field of vision.

Suddenly, a torrent of light emerged out of nowhere, destroying the nearly indestructible scales and engulfing the hundreds-meter-long snake.

The light is roaring and rushing.

It rose from the ground, destroying the hanging cages and lights, reaching the dome and impacting the rock wall.

A huge storm of light, a torrent of light washed over the cave as if to destroy everything, and the deafening sound shook the entire dungeon.

Rumbling--

A sudden strong earthquake swept across the entire Miguel volcano.

In the front hall of the Volcano Mansion, Tanis, who was waiting for the arrival of the next-level hero, suddenly stood up, completely confused.

"My king..."

A trace of worry appeared on the beautiful face under the mask, and she looked worriedly at the huge portrait of Lakkad behind her.

"Lady Tanis, don't we need to go and take a look?"

The Crucible Knight serving beside him suddenly spoke.

The strong vibration gave him a bad feeling, a feeling that he was about to lose his job.

He has been serving Volcano Mansion... no, to be exact, serving Tanis for some years.

Ever since their king, Gefulei, became the Faded One and was exiled by Queen Marica, the Crucible Knights have gone their separate ways.

For example, the former two chiefs - the tree-shaped (female) Crucible Knight Siluria and the headless knights guarded the nameless eternal city where the eldest son, the dead prince Godwin, was.

The first ring of the royal city is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with convenient transportation and beautiful scenery. You can see the prince in just two steps. It is indeed a good place to live (referring to the dilapidated tree house behind).

The Axe-shaped (male) Forge Knight Otaus stayed in the Aressa Hero Cemetery outside the royal city, waiting for the return of their king, Gefulei, as a gravekeeper.

He, on the other hand, abandoned his name, his mission, and everything else to come to Volcano Mansion to find another job, following [Justice Officer] Lakkad and his concubine Tanis.

He has dealt with all kinds of dirty things, knows the so-called [Law of Rebellion], and knows all the truths about Volcano Mansion.

"No need..."

After thinking for a moment, Tanis rejected the knight's proposal and sat back on her seat. Looking at the closed door of the main hall, she couldn't help but murmured softly:

"My king...are you still defeated..."

"...I am not controlled by anything...Snake, eternal..."

The light faded away, and the snake that was originally hundreds of meters long was now only less than three meters long.

The grayish-white, withered skin on it stopped moving, as if time had stopped. Lakkad's eyes were fixed on Lani, and the golden light in his eyes gradually went out like a lamp with exhausted oil.

"...my sister...Lani..."

Lacarde got what he deserved.

Devouring companions, spreading filth and disease, hunting heroes who selflessly dedicated themselves to the border area, all of this has nothing to do with the [Desecration] of the Golden Tree. It is his own fault. I guess Lakkad himself had already expected this kind of ending.

"...Goodbye, my brother [Justice Officer] Larcade."

Lani walked over and said her final goodbye to Lakkad.

The dead Lakkad seemed to have heard her words, and slowly closed his eyes, with a smile of relief on the corners of his tightly closed mouth.

Reinhardt said he was not sure whether this giant snake was immortal.

If he could really be reborn, then the next time we meet, he might even make snake soup if he's in a good mood.

But at this moment, the hunting snake spear in his hand also showed abnormalities with the death of Lakkad.

click-

A crisp sound like breaking glass rang out from the spear.

A crack appeared on the surface of the giant spear and spread rapidly, spreading all over it like a spider web.

As if it had completed its mission, it shattered quietly without any sound, turning into dust and scattering on the ground.

“Ashes to ashes, dust to dust…”

Reinhardt did not feel the slightest bit of regret about the damage to the hunting snake spear, and let the powder flow through his fingertips.

The great snake is dead, Lakkad has been freed, and the knight's last wish placed on it has been fulfilled.

Therefore, this spear should be left here.

"...Congratulations, Rhine. You are one step closer to becoming the King of Elden."

Melina, who had been with Lani all the time, suddenly came out to congratulate him.

"Well, this time it was just an accident... I didn't expect things to turn out like this." Reinhardt shrugged innocently and lied without blushing or beating his heart.

In fact, he knew very well that the outcome of this visit to the Volcano Mansion would be either that he would be swallowed by the giant snake, or that he would defeat the [blasphemous king] Lakkad. There was no third possibility.

Now it seems that he is still stronger, a little bit stronger than [Blasphemy King] Lakkad.

Just as much as your fingertips.

But then again, I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but I feel like the relationship between these two people seems to have subtly improved?

Just like sisters, the kind that can't have three eyes together.

Lani seemed to notice his unusual gaze and explained, "Ms. Melina just helped me a little."

"Oh...."

Reinhardt rubbed his chin lightly, drawing out the words meaningfully.

Be it an excuse or a pretext, it doesn't matter.

As long as the relationship between these two people can get better and there is no tit-for-tat situation, anything is fine. It will save me a lot of trouble.

"Thank you my king for returning my brother Larcade to eternal sleep. Thank you."

Lani suddenly spoke again to express her gratitude to him.

But he just smiled and shook his head: "...This is what I should do as a knight, and it is also the oath I made early on."

Then Reinhardt raised his eyebrows and subconsciously teased Lani:

"Besides, you are my wife, and I am your Dark Moon Companion. Saying thank you would be awkward."

After hearing what he said, the blue spirit attached to the doll blushed slightly, as if shy.

His words and Lani's reaction caused ripples in Melina's calm heart.

It felt like eating formic acid stone.

But unfortunately, she didn't know how to express all this and could only watch the communication between the two people.

"...My king..."

Lani's sudden call made him turn his head subconsciously, but Lani's expression became unusually serious.

"...Let's go back to the Volcano Residence. I want to have a good talk with Tanis about this."

This was the first time, the first time I felt a hint of anger in Lani's voice.

It seems that Lani was really angry about her second uncle Lakkad sacrificing himself to the ancient snake, devouring each other, and desecrating everything.

"... Your Highness, Lani, I don't think that's necessary."

At this time, a familiar female voice was heard.

Tanis appeared at the entrance of the cave with the Crucible Knights.

But the Crucible Knight seemed restless. Seeing that the monarch he once served had turned into a shattered corpse, he immediately drew his sword and rushed forward.

Even Tanis beside her didn't react.

"give it to me."

The moment he finished speaking, Reinhardt suddenly disappeared from the spot.

Hound pace!

His swift footsteps left a trail of shadows on the ground. When he appeared again, he had already drawn the Dark Moon Greatsword and slashed it forward.

when--

The crisp sound of metal clashing echoed in the cave.

"Have you finally been able to hold back, Mr. Crucible Knight?"

A wicked smile appeared on Reinhardt's lips.

He had disliked this Crucible Knight from a long time ago, but he had never taken action because of the relationship between Lani and Tanis. Now that he had come to him, don't blame him for being rude.

"...You killed the monarch I served... This is unforgivable!"

The Crucible Knight and Reinhardt increased their power at the same time.

With a clang, the Crucible Knight fell into a disadvantage in this tentative confrontation and was pushed back by Reinhardt's sword.

Not only that, the big sword in his hand was also covered with a thin layer of frost.

This made the Crucible Knight frown and his eyes became serious.

Very strange power.

At least it was something he had never seen before, something he had never seen in all the years he had followed King Gefulei in battle.
