The last headhunter

Chapter 44 The Legend of the Ulu Dynasty

aberration.A monster transformed by human infection, a four-legged twisted creation whose body is supported by tumor-like swellings.Two huge thick arms protrude from a body that is nearly 10 meters tall like a hill, just looking at it makes people feel frightened.

Their own physical strength is already extremely difficult to deal with, and they can even detonate the infected sarcoma on their bodies to form a large-scale toxic explosion after death.Once exposed to this toxin, it is likely to become a monster like them.

The eyes filled with dark red and cold light are full of bloodthirsty and fury.Just looking at each other hastily, the chilling feeling of horror has arisen spontaneously.Distorting the life form to this point, enslaving the souls of the suffering people as this kind of killing war machine, the crimes committed by the undead wizards cannot be repaid even if they die thousands of times.

But now is not the time to sigh.When Loretta charged towards the fleeing Rick Schur with great momentum, the thunderous stampede of the eight aberrations came.The group of monsters attacking from the direction of "House of Wanderers", the direction of "Forest of Believer", and the direction of "Worship Hall", probably will arrive here in less than 20 seconds, and then tear the boy and his party to shreds.

Is this your plan?Senior Rick. If the mutants are driven to directly attack the command center, then the Loretta knight who intends to save me will definitely turn his gun and perform his duty of protection.This way you can safely evacuate and prepare to fight again.

The young man looked at Loretta's heroic figure who was still beating wildly.She continued to pursue Rick without hesitation.

But you would never have guessed that this knight had already made up his mind to sacrifice the innocent.In other words, straightforwardness and competence, selfishness and ruthlessness are the consistent style of the royal knights.With her noble status, it doesn't matter even if she fails to fulfill the order of the head of the Flying Wing Knights. If she fails to save the mission target, she only needs to make up a suitable reason.And it has long been her long-cherished wish to tear you into pieces and completely erase the dead from this world.

In order to achieve this long-cherished wish, it doesn't matter if countless people are buried with him.

Should this determination be praised or reprimanded?

The boy didn't have a clear answer in his heart.A lot of thoughts are mixed together.In the face of the threat of death, many pitiful moral standards are just tasteless, and the good-hearted expectations of this newborn calf should have sunk in the ruins long ago.

Two incapacitated "exiles", an exhausted priest of the chosen one, a super-perverted rune master who refused to make a move, and a young headhunter whose prayers could not be answered.Faced with such a predicament, the boy admitted that he could not come up with any solution to solve it.Apart from watching helplessly as the situation couldn't be resolved, he didn't even have the thought and strength to escape.Helplessness, the helplessness of being rejected outside the gate of Aoan City, the helplessness of being arrested in a professional guild for trial, and the helplessness of encountering Makaros.

Why can those feelings of helplessness before be overcome, but there is no antidote for this near-depressed mood now?Thinking stopped, nothing in my mind.Watching death approaching, the smell of rancid blood spread in the air, but his body didn't respond?
Perhaps, because of disappointment.

The teenager smiled wryly and shook his head.

The world will be scorched to see the death of insignificant people.In the eyes of the royal family, everyone who has nothing to do with them is an excellent victim.

In order to achieve his ulterior motives and maintain his hegemony, no amount of indifference can be overstated.

How can such a world be saved?

The huge body of the aberrant casts a very oppressive shadow.The hard stone steps leading to the main city of Ao'an were cracked one after another by their crazy trampling.Just when the boy fell into a sad and desperate thought stagnation, the three mutants had already surrounded the group.They opened their mouths wide open, ignoring the injured Giri and Delter, and even turned a deaf ear to Jeska's efforts to block but failed.

They greedily gnawed on the young man's fragile body as if they smelled the blood of their prey.And those sharp fangs may completely dismember him the moment they come into contact with the boy's body.

Is this the time of death?
The boy closed his eyes calmly.The Book of Riel in his hand also hangs down slightly.Perhaps, he is not the one who is qualified to be a headhunter.Perhaps, he shouldn't continue his unrealistic dreams as the inheritor of Ruier's legacy.Loretta's indifferent and contemptuous behavior is precisely the best argument to support this point.

Everyone in the world can die for some "grand" purpose.How could he be an exception?

It turned out that everything was a lie from beginning to end.

In the darkness, the boy waited for the verdict of his fate.

But the painful tearing feeling that he expected but feared never came.The world became noisy again, cries of surprise and inquiries of worry were intertwined in my mind.And an extremely warm, exhilarating majestic force poured into the body one after another like a bubbling clear spring.The spirit is no longer decadent, and the body is full of vitality like a new look.The clear wind, like stepping into a fairyland, has purified all the dirty bloody smell, and there is a refreshing and abnormal flow in the heart.

Brightness that sweeps away the gloom.The boy slowly opened his eyes in this short space, and what he saw was a brand new world.

The huge azure halo stretches and spreads from the inside out, while the aberrations rushing in are stagnant in time and space like a frozen photo.The halo texture engraved with ancient rune imprints is like the relics of the ancient holy dynasty, forming a three-dimensional city-state surrounded by dots of starlight constantly flying into the sky.This magnificent city-state composed of light blue phantoms is constantly twisting 360 degrees in space, and in such a fast-paced twisting, it forms a symmetrical patchwork container similar to an "hourglass".

The quiet old man who had been silent all this time finally waved his staff.The rune swirl he attracted from nowhere, accompanied by his distant singing, formed this shocking soul agitation.In this "hourglass" rune array with a radius of hundreds of meters, all creatures and even all laws stopped.At this moment, all the roars of the aberrations vanished into thin air. Ever since the abominable monster stepped into the formation, it stopped and froze in time and space.

The old man sang:
"Old city of gold, the ancient capital of Ulu king."

"You are so rich, you are so prosperous. The treasure of Luo'an Continent, the eternal miracle of mankind!"

"But why are you lost? But why are you destroyed? The golden tree of Ulu Hall, why doesn't it germinate?"

"Dear traveler, let's witness this vicissitudes of ruins—"

"Witness our legend!"

He chanted like that, and then swayed down the magic rune energy that was as bright as a star.The azure brilliance finally covered the scarlet sky a little bit, and in this dreamlike hourglass city, all the troubles seemed to have dissipated.Whether it was Jessica, or the seriously injured Jiri and Delter, they all recovered from pain and fatigue by bathing in this "twisted" light of time and space.They stood up slowly, staring in disbelief at this legendary city known as the "Ulu Dynasty", and then slowly knelt down reverently.

"No matter what, I wouldn't think of it." Jeska's body trembled with excitement.

"The legendary Ulu Dynasty, the sacred heaven under the leadership of the Dragon King will appear in front of my eyes. Your Majesty Nixans - have you seen our struggle? The miracle is here, is willing to give us save?"

"Great dragon god. How long have you been sleeping? This world is ruined. We need more heroes to rebuild it. It would be a great honor to meet your legendary hero—"

Dragon God?A new god that has never been heard of?I don't know why.But this miniature city with a unique shape like an overturned hourglass must be a very ingenious and unique structure in ancient times.

But compared to this—

The boy looked at Michelle who had finished singing with a complicated expression.And the eyes of the old man are also looking at him with deep meaning at this moment.They are silent to each other, but they can also appreciate the meaning contained in each other's eyes.

Feel sorry.He said.

You owe me one.Michelle said.

And Loretta, who pierced Rick Sull but unexpectedly let him escape, has also seen this majestic city rising into the sky.Under the azure reflection of this phantom city, all the monsters that poured into it were frozen in time and space.

That is, Ulu Dynasty.

She rides on a war horse.The war horse stood upright.

"You're still alive. Surprising."

The red-haired female knight named Loretta was still proudly looking down at the boy and his party.Long before the battle started, she had already prepared the psychological expectation that the young man would die willingly.Before the deadborn fled, she would definitely summon the undead army to raid the target she wanted to protect in the rear, in order to divert her attention.But she will do the opposite, continue to chase regardless of the rear, and be able to kill the dead before they escape into the shadows, and dismember their bodies into countless pieces to vent their betrayal anger.And the life of the young headhunter is completely irrelevant to her.That's not what she's here for.

However, the fact is so surprising—the group of teenagers who should have been smashed and crushed into mud miraculously survived.What's more, the "Ulu Dynasty", which only existed in legends, came across time and space, and under the chanting of rune power, it became a "celestial city stagnant in time and space", freezing the eight surging monsters into A crystal block-like object that does not seem to exist.If you tap it lightly with a spear, it will hit the air like a pounce.

In this way, there is really a need to take a closer look.

"It's an eye-opener. The phantom of the royal city just now was summoned by you? In the battle with the giant beast, I have never seen that you have the potential for space magic."

"No. It's not. It's the rune secret technique performed by the old man named Michel next to me. I don't have that qualification."

Although very dissatisfied with Loretta's arrogant tone, the boy could only swallow his anger.After all, he relied on the strength of others to survive, so he didn't have any arrogant capital.

"I see. Then, His Highness Michelle, are you willing to follow me to the capital to have an audience with His Majesty like His Highness Sariel?"

She extended a sincere invitation.This is an honor that ordinary people can hardly obtain in several lifetimes.King's capital, royal title, meeting the emperor, these haunting nouns are fascinating every moment.This is the pursuit of countless adventurers throughout their lives.

In her opinion, Michelle had no reason to refuse.

But the fact surprised her once again.

"No. I still have my own responsibilities to fulfill. Sariel is happy to abandon us, but he wouldn't think of the so-called sense of responsibility that the powerful royal knights can ignore their own tasks at will. Do you still remember? , the task Green entrusted to you is to protect this boy?"

"Of course I remember. Although it is an order, I have the final say on whether it can be completed successfully. The goal of killing the dead is far more important than protecting this child."

Under the platinum helmet, he still couldn't see any expression clearly.But her words were indifferent from beginning to end.

"But the Deadborn can never be completely destroyed. All your efforts are in vain."

"Your news is outdated. Perhaps you who have accepted the memory of ancient runes are really powerful, but it seems that we are not on the same road."

She shook her head slightly.

"If His Highness can reach the king's city one day, he will know that the deadborn can be killed. It has been confirmed. The backward indigenous residents who have not conducted any experiments at all, maybe they will know this in the monkey year."

"Please elaborate, Your Excellency the Knight. How to kill the Deadborn?"

Michele smiled mildly, not paying any attention to Loretta's offense.

"The hell prison in Wangcheng once imprisoned two 'dead birthers' belonging to the undead camp. Through repeated killing experiments on them, the executioner Rogert finally completely killed one of the dead birthers."

".Using multiple massacres in a closed space in a short period of time can completely smash the body of the deceased, including the soul of the deceased. Please forgive me for the inconvenience of talking about how to achieve the effect of high-speed massacre, after all, there are children present. I am willing to mention this to you, it is the greatest etiquette."

"So I also want to try this on the Deadborn during this trip. It's just a pity that the place is too wide to use Blade Storm, and it's really helpless to let them escape. But the next time the Deadborn appears again, I will Will pursue again no matter the cost."

"Are you really—not sorry?"

Unable to bear the inner struggle any longer, the young man poured out his unwillingness and grief.But what he got was an absolutely firm answer.

"I don't understand what your Excellency means. We knights have never done anything unconscionable, so how can we apologize? There is no need to use excessively harsh moral standards to ask us. Faith and protection are only for the Holy One and Yuedu, That's all."

After speaking, Loretta turned around on her horse.The red cloak swayed in the unburned blue phantom.On her heavy sterling silver armor, there was a brilliant moon mark shining, and the lion badge unique to the knights of the royal capital.And the pure white wings flying on the battle flag are also a symbol of promoting the loyalty of the Flying Wing Knights.

"Farewell. Young ignorant headhunter. Maybe we will never see each other again. Respectable wise old man, Rockwell, the 'Glorious City' in the south, awaits your visit."

She whipped and galloped away, decisive and resolute like lightning.It seemed that everything that happened here had no waves in her heart.Ao'an, the fall of such a big town and the ruins everywhere could not ignite the slightest pity in her heart.She saved the boy and his party at a critical moment, but left with an extremely indifferent and selfish attitude.Is such a decisive person worthy of the title of royal knight?

Every second of walking in this gray world seems to be a torture to the inner conscience.

"she left."

The teenager sighed.A strong knight who thought he could be a support for the team left.Fortunately, relying on the power of the rune "Reversed Hourglass" in the ruins of the Ulu Dynasty, the life and strength of the group were miraculously restored to a full state.Jiri, Delter, and Jeska have all become reliable combat forces again.They all seem to be still unable to extricate themselves from the peripheral vision of the "City of Gold".

"Remember what I told you, you owe me once?"

"Of course I understand. Senior. If it is something I can do, I will definitely repay your life-saving grace. At that time, if you don't save us, we will be finished—so I can only sit like that and wait to die. Waiting for your shot. I'm sorry for using you."

The boy bowed and apologized very seriously.However, he is also eager to know, what exactly will Michelle, who seems to follow the guidance of the "prophecy" and has nothing else to ask for?
"Okay. Then I'll be blunt. You should know that the Ulu Dynasty is the most prosperous legendary capital of human beings. The emperor fell and the dynasty collapsed. The legend was shattered. The rune I cast just now is the fragment I found from the ruins, and it is also a relic that Riel once handed over to the Rockwell Royal Tower of Knowledge."

"Ruel—Senior?"

"Yes. There are actually many historical reasons why people gradually distrust headhunters. I will tell you later."

"But now. I will clarify my biggest and even more vast purpose besides leading you according to the prophecy."

Michelle sighed.

"what?"

"Revive the Ulu Dynasty, wake up the Dragon Emperor, revive the Ulu Dynasty."

"Let the long-sleeping treasure in the gap between time and space, let the power of the dragon redeem the sinful world."

"If it's you, it's definitely possible."

"He who inherited the Book of Riel, headhunter."
