Diablo Destruction

*************************************************** *************************************************

The King of Stones, who looked like the King of Spades, weighed an unknown number of tons, slowly floated into the air, and finally touched the ground with a crash, landing in front of the city gate, blocking Artoria's way.

The entire Boulder Mountain... no, the entire land of the Kingdom of Human Heads trembled as it fell, and it kept shaking, as if the final boss in the game appeared, causing the entire screen to shake. , looks full of momentum.

With a "buzz" sound, the Stoneman King gently exhaled, forming a powerful storm, which directly blew up Artoria under his feet. Under the Stoneman King's breath, he could not even stand steady.

How can we fight with such a big difference in strength? It is not easy to get around.

Seeing this scene, I was worried and even less optimistic about Artoria's so-called plan. It was not easy to bypass the Stoneman King and enter the Stoneman King's city. Even I might not be able to do it.

However, at this moment, Arturia took action. She was blown up by the Stoneman King's breath. In mid-air, beyond everyone's expectation, including the Stoneman King Zainei, her victory weapon The sword suddenly bloomed with fierce brilliance.

This is...the Sword of Promise of Victory? When exactly?

I was shocked. The Sword of Vowed Victory is a charging skill. It cannot be prepared in the blink of an eye. In other words, Artoria has actually been prepared for a long time. She has been secretly accumulating the sword of victory for the second time, hiding the light, waiting for the appearance of the Stoneman King, and even this Being blown away once was also part of her plan.

It was indeed an unexpected plan. Even the Stone Man King was deceived and was stunned. Flaws were exposed. But what's the use? The power of the Sword of Oath to Victory is very strong, but in front of the Stone Man King, it is probably about the same as tickling. Even if it is really hit, it will be nothing. I want to use this to break through the stone man king's obstruction. Absolutely impossible.

After a moment of surprise. I looked disappointed again and kept shaking my head. Fortunately, the little king still had some conscience. We made a series of settings for the Stoneman King. He did not attack Artoria immediately when he appeared. In other words, the Stoneman King's attack was not strong and would only happen when Artoria took the initiative. React.

Otherwise, even if Artoria had ten lives, she would have already lost her life in the test.

At this moment, Artoria showed her fighting wisdom. Facing the Stoneman King, holding the sword of victory that condensed powerful power, she suddenly made another move that surprised everyone.

Without warning, she suddenly turned around and turned her back to the Stone Man King. It looked like she was going to die. Who would suddenly give their back to the enemy in a battle? Isn't this looking for death?

Uh, wrong, actually there are still some, such as... Hell Fighting Bear.

There is no other way, turning around and kicking are necessary. I have tricked many people with this trick, including even the most cunning old drunkard.

Could it be that Artoria also learned how to turn around and kick? But even if that were the case, she was facing the Stoneman King. Would turning back and kicking him be effective?

As soon as this question came to my mind, I saw Arturia suddenly leaning back, kicking back with all her strength, and sprinting at full speed. At the same time, she swung the sword of victory fiercely, carrying the terrifying power of the oath of victory. The energy cannon beam formed by the sword roared like a cannonball.

With the counter-impact force of the Sword of Oath of Victory, Artoria's already astonishing speed accelerated by several percent again, and she actually merged with the light and rushed past the Stoneman King at an incredible speed.

Rush... rush over! ! !

I opened my mouth wide and was speechless in surprise. So that's it. It turned out to be like this. With the help of the reaction force of the Sword of Victory, I accelerated and reached the target at an incredible speed. This was Artoria's plan. It was simple. But very practical.

In fact, she did it now. When the Stone Man King was stunned, she had already rushed past the Stone Man King with a speed that exceeded her own.

I was about to shout and cheer, but unexpectedly, Colgate hurriedly pulled me hard. Then, before I could react, there was a roar in my ears, and the energy beam of the Sword of Victory passed me by at a thrilling distance. Pass.

"Your Highness, are you okay?" the maid asked worriedly.

I shook my head in shock. I was calm on the outside, but I almost pissed myself with fear on the inside. It wasn't like this. Although I knew that my king was in a hurry and couldn't care about so much, he just happened to come towards me. This was too accurate. Well, could it be that my king noticed the "all-A attributes" many times before, and retribution has come?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shrink my neck with guilt.

No, now is not the time to care about this. Seeing my king successfully rushing past the Stone Man King and throwing it behind him, I clenched my fist and I couldn't help but feel hope in my heart.

It works, maybe it really works!

Following Artoria's rapid figure with our eyes, Kaluge and I kept flying higher, looking beyond the walls of the Stone Man King's City. Finally, inside the huge Stone Man King's City, we saw what Artoria suspected of being said. place.

In the center of the royal city, a huge bright yellow magic circle flashed on a tall platform similar to an altar. Normally, this would not be surprising. How could a royal city not have any special buildings?

But this is a test, a simulated scene. If you think about it this way, then this platform and the huge magic circle that is conspicuous on the platform are just like the words "This is the end of victory" are engraved on it. No wonder Artoria I would be so obsessed with it and think that as long as I get there, I will pass the level. If it were me, I would think the same way.

So, can Artoria really do it? The Stoneman King is at the pinnacle of the world, so it shouldn't be that easy for her to break through.

I was in a state of confusion. His eyes were fixed on Artoria and the Stoneman King's every move.

At this moment, the Stoneman King finally reacted. The resentful Chinese character on the playing card wrinkled his face, revealed an angry expression, and let out a huge roar, as if he felt that he was being played by a little ant.

With a speed and agility that is unimaginable for a stone man, it turned around suddenly, and its eyes were fixed on my king who was desperately sprinting towards the platform magic circle in the center of the royal city.

In an instant, the Stoneman King's world barrier opened, and the entire Stoneman King's city was shrouded in the power of its barrier. Within the area covered by the barrier. All non-stone items were instantly petrified, without exception.

It's actually a barrier that can turn opponents to stone. Isn't this guy too perverted?

The barrier unfolded in an instant, and no matter how fast Arturia was, she couldn't move faster than the barrier. In the blink of an eye she was enveloped in it. He was about to be petrified.

but. Carolie and I were not surprised but overjoyed.

Because one of the abilities of King Arthur's suit is the ability to ignore anyone's world barrier.

Whether it's the pressure of the Stoneman King's world barrier or his ability to petrify. It pales in comparison to King Arthur's suit, unless its strength can return to the realm of world-devouring power.

The Stoneman King's approach was not wrong, and it fully demonstrated its rich combat experience, because no matter how fast its movements were, it could not move faster than the World Barrier. It first used the fastest World Barrier to envelope the enemy and let her Being unable to move, or even petrified, and then playing cat and mouse, no one would choose to do this.

The only mistake it made was that it didn't know the enemy too well. Artoria happened to have the ability to be immune to the world's enchantment, so the move it thought was the safest turned into a bad move, and instead won Artoria the most victory. precious time.

The world barrier unfolded, and Artoria's figure only paused for a moment, and then continued to rush forward without losing speed. Not to mention being petrified, even her speed was not affected in any way.

This result, which was neither scientific nor magical, made the Stoneman King dumbfounded for a while. However, it was still the king of the clan. It only took a moment to react and let out an even more angry roar. The scepter in its hand hit the altar platform fiercely. It fell, and it seemed that it was going to smash Arturia and the altar together.

However, it was too late to react now. When the scepter was raised high and before it fell, Artoria had already braked and landed firmly on the platform, in the center of the magic circle.

Then, she raised her head, looked at the raised scepter, and breathed a sigh of relief.

I did it and passed the test.

Carolie and I also clenched our fists excitedly and almost cheered.

She did it. Artoria actually did it. She broke through from the Stoneman King who was at the top of the world. Although there was a slight element of luck, luck was also part of her strength. In any case, she did what she could not have done. It's a miracle.

With a "boom", as Carole and I raised our hands in cheers, the Stoneman King's scepter suddenly fell, smashing the entire platform into pieces. Including Artoria, who had relaxed, the original position of the platform changed. It became a big pit.

Artoria! ! !

I was stunned and roared loudly in disbelief. Seeing that the Stone Man King was not satisfied enough, I raised the scepter high again and slammed it down, planning to strike again.

At the critical moment, the trajectory of the scepter suddenly stopped, and it was close to the ground, but it just didn't fall.

Under the scepter, I gritted my teeth and supported the huge scepter like a hill with my hands and back. My feet were trembling and sinking, and my hands and back were bleeding.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

Carolie also got in later and found Arturia covered in blood and in a severe coma in the gravel pit. She was shaking and crying.

Caroline, take Artoria out of here quickly!

Gritting tightly, I could only use a sharp look to convey this meaning to the already confused Caroline.

She finally didn't completely lose her mind. After realizing what I meant, she quickly jumped out of the pit with Artoria in her arms.

Immediately afterwards, the Stoneman King's scepter hit the ground hard, like swatting a fly.

Amidst the dust, it slowly raised the scepter, wanting to see what happened to the little cockroach that just broke in without knowing what it was capable of.

A particularly cold, blood-red wind blew by, blowing away the dust. The cracked pit below was exposed, with a diameter of several kilometers and a depth of a hundred meters. In just two strikes, the Stoneman King drilled a large hole in the center of his royal city.

In the center of the crater where the cracks are most dense, a trace of blood-stained brown fur is faintly exposed among the rocks, shaking continuously.

You guy... you guy... actually took Artoria...

In the wind, an uneasy atmosphere was brewing, and even the Stone Man King seemed to feel something. Stopped attacking. He looked alert and kept looking around, as if trying to find the source of his uneasiness.

"Your Highness, Your Highness. Your Majesty... She is... almost... almost... If you don't hurry up... I... Your Highness... Your Highness!!!" Carole just carried Artoria out. Seeing that another owner was hit into a deep pit again. Her life and death were unknown, and her head was buzzing as if it was exploding. I was confused at that time.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her eyes. He grabbed her and Artoria with both hands, and the next moment, the three of them disappeared.

The Stoneman King just reacted and roared angrily. He looked helplessly at the retreating figures of the three men.

After all, it is just an existence simulated by the test. It cannot escape from the constraints of the rules of the test and choose to pursue it. Watching the enemy disappear, it can only return to the Stoneman King's City and let the fog envelope it again, disappearing together with the Stoneman King's City and the Giant Rock Mountain. In the void space, it will not appear again until the next test comes.

…

In the void deep in the untouchable fog, there was a disdainful snort.

"Lan La, is this really okay?" Another female voice, as soft as the breeze, followed by a soft hum.

"What's wrong, Elena, didn't you agree to do this?" A high-pitched voice that was very similar to the humming sound spread like fire.

"I didn't agree." A soft female voice retorted.

"Silence is consent, right, Sharon."

"Rejected, no comment." The third voice, with an extremely delicate and indifferent feeling, slowly appeared, and then continued.

"But, Lan La, no matter how messed up you are, I will never allow anything to happen to His Majesty's heir."

"Don't worry, don't you, the great doctor here? I can't kill anyone."

"I am a knight!" the indifferent voice corrected him tepidly.

"Really? In my opinion, there is no difference anyway, right, Elena."

"Lan La, I don't want to talk to you now."

"Wow, Elena is angry, it's really rare."

"That's because you're too messy."

"What's going on? I'm here to check for Your Majesty. See for yourself that the so-called successor was easily fooled by a magic circle and thought that there was the end. It's too natural. How can such an IQ be worthy of being Your Majesty's successor?" ." Like a raging fire, a voice with a strong sense of aggression shouted angrily.

"Lan La, you have completely forgotten the role you want to play. This is a test set by His Majesty himself. We are witnesses and maintainers of order, not enemies of His Majesty's successor. You are looking at the other party with your hostility. All conclusions drawn are absurd."

"What you said is absolutely true." A cold voice echoed.

"Sharon, do you even say that? Damn it, I can't say anything about you, Elena, but I will never agree to let that kind of person be your majesty's heir, absolutely!"

"Lan La, we have very little power left. After every test, we have to sleep to preserve our strength. I...will not allow you to mess around anymore."

"Elena, what are you talking about? Didn't we agree at the beginning that we would rather fail the test than let the unqualified heir pass? What's more, since she has come to the second test, it shows that our plan is very good. It may have been successful and His Majesty has been resurrected. If that is the case, why do you need an heir? There is no need at all!"

"Lan La, you..."

"No need to say any more, Elena, I have made up my mind. I believe that even His Majesty will support me!"

"Oh, Lan Larohe, are you sure I will do this?"

At this moment, a voice that shouldn't belong here suddenly came out faintly in the mist. It was as cold as a knife. Every word uttered was like a huge mountain pressing down, making the listener bend down and lower his head involuntarily. , frightened by it, breathless.

And in the ears of the owners of the three voices just now, this powerful voice had great power, shocking them on the spot, as if they were immobilized, unable to move at all.

The fog slowly dispersed, and the sound of neat and steady footsteps came, step by step, as if they were stepping on the heart, accompanied by the figure slowly approaching.

The cold, majestic, noble, and powerful figure who was once invincible in the Dark Continent and has been hailed as the strongest man in the continent from ancient times to the present slowly appeared, and a strong sense of presence suddenly filled the world. Everything seemed smaller in front of her.

At this time, those blue-purple eyes that should have been full of ruthlessness and murderousness were rarely filled with complex and contradictory emotions. They were nostalgic and moved, but also cold and angry. All of these emotions were devoted to the three people opposite her. On a knight girl.

One of them, who sounded like her, was wearing a fiery red knight's armor, which made her figure particularly dazzling. There was a two-foot-long scar on her delicate face, but it did not damage her beauty at all, but this beauty was tinged with too much. With so much aggression and aggression, he looks like a beast that is always burning.

To her left was a knight in blue armor, gentle and pleasant, with long, slightly curly hair, a soft smile, and an ethereal look in his eyes, which looked like a gentle breeze.

On the right side, the voice is colder, like a knight girl with some three-dimensional attributes, but the figure is the tallest and plump, giving people full of contrasting beauty. A blue hooded shawl covers her upper body, and she wears a hat. , if you ignore the knight armor exposed on the lower body, looking from a distance, people will mistakenly think that this is a church priest.

The three of them stared blankly at King Arthur who appeared in front of them. They instinctively knelt down on one knee and shouted excitedly in high tones like praise.

"King, you are finally back!"
