Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 441 The Real 'Lord'

"Let me think about it. How should I put it? Actually, I came in this time to chat with the Excellency called the Performer, but it seems that he is not here now, so I will excuse myself first. How about this explanation?"

The instigator looked at the black-haired young man in front of him with a frown, scratched his head in distress, and then made a suggestion to the other party.

"Really? That's great. The performer has just gone down there. Why don't I take you to accompany him?"

Facing the instigator's suggestion, the black-haired young man simply pointed indifferently at the pit in the distance where nothing could be seen, and spoke. The pressure on his body had been completely released at some point, like a dark sky curtain, covering the entire battlefield.

When the instigator heard the black-haired young man's words and heard that the performer had already gone, his expression suddenly became even more bitter, and he sighed with a melancholy look on his face:

"Well, it seems that I really have to explain myself here today. In this case, I have a small suggestion. The girl I brought here is innocent. How about letting her go?"

The instigator said this, pointing to the noble girl in his arms who was also looking at the black-haired young man with curiosity, and said to the black-haired young man.

"No."

The indifferent voice of rejection fell, and the instigator's eyes suddenly turned red when he heard it. He sobbed and hugged the noble girl in his arms. He looked extremely sad, wiped his tears and said to the girl:
"Wow... I'm sorry, Xiaolan, I'm so useless. I promised to protect you, but in the end, I couldn't do anything!"

"It's okay, Master. You've done enough for me. Although my name is not Xiao Lan, it would be a very happy thing for me if I could die here with you, Master."

When the noble girl heard the instigator's words, her cheeks flushed slightly. She snuggled in the other's arms, looking like a little bird, with the reflection of the other's profile in her pupils, and said affectionately.

"?"

Seeing the girl's reaction, the instigator couldn't help but blink his eyes, lowered his head, leaned close to her ear, and whispered:
"Hey, Xiao Huang, didn't we agree that you should cry loudly at times like this, and act particularly reluctant and pitiful, so as to impress the other person with me?"

"But I think even if I do that, he won't let me go, so it's better to do what you like at this time. And Master, I'm not Xiao Huang."

The noble girl heard the instigator's complaint, glanced at the black-haired young man in front of her, and spoke to the instigator seriously.

"It seems so, but Xiaohong, what you did is still too unkind. You are harming your most beloved leader."

"But my wish is to die with you, Master. Didn't you also say that dreams are the most important thing in life?"

"Hiss~! Xiao Zi, what you said seems to be right. If it's for the sake of the dream, then there is no choice but to betray your own leader."

The instigator, who had almost used all the colors of the rainbow, heard the noble girl's rebuttal, took a deep breath, nodded, and showed an expression of approval.

After saying this, the instigator suddenly returned to his gloomy expression. Finally, he sighed helplessly, looked at the black-haired young man in front of him, and said listlessly:
"It seems that I can only use my last trump card. Let me think about it. Maybe..."

Om-! !

Before the instigator could finish his words, a violent spatial fluctuation suddenly erupted from the edge of the battlefield. The next moment, a harsh reminder sounded in the minds of everyone present:

[Warning: It has been detected that this world is being eroded by the [Lord Core]! The special camp, the Lord camp, has been forcibly merged into the native camp of this world! ]

[Warning: It has been detected that the [Lord Core] has been deeply assimilated with this world. Contractors in the Lord's camp area are requested to evacuate the Lord's camp area as soon as possible! ]

[Warning: You have entered the area of ​​the [Lord Camp]! Because the [Lord Core] is currently unbound, we will randomly select eligible units in the area and forcibly bind them as [Camp Lord]. Please evacuate the area as soon as possible! ]

Boom——! !

As three warnings were sounded in succession, an earth-shaking roar suddenly exploded. In the sky at the edge of the battlefield, the originally silent night sky suddenly exploded with tens of thousands of tiny space cracks. In the center of the crack, a huge hole like a black hole, hundreds of meters wide, was opening there, and was slowly repairing itself under the self-healing ability of space.

Although at this moment, no one on the battlefield paid attention to the space cracks in the sky, after all...

——Compared to the space crack, the thing rushing out from the sky in mid-air is obviously more eye-catching.

"Hey, are you kidding me? The lord actually brought in something so outrageous?!"

The instigator looked at the object falling from mid-air and shouted with an exaggerated expression.

Following the other party's gaze, we can see that at the edge of the battlefield, there is a nearly ten-meter-deep pit. In the center of the pit, a blood-red cocoon that is more than a hundred meters high and looks like a heart stands there, making loud sounds like drums:

dong dong!dong dong!
A low and loud heartbeat like rolling thunder came from the pit, echoing in the ears of everyone on the battlefield. Among them, the black-haired young man and Blood Prison, who was closest to the giant cocoon of the heart, were the first to react. The black-haired young man could be seen slapping his own heart without hesitation, and at the same time a gust of wind blew around him, quickly sucking his surroundings into a vacuum area, minimizing the impact of the sound on himself.

Blood Prison, whose reaction was a little slower than others, also responded quickly. First, a puff of blood mist floated out from the surface of his body, and then all the blood-colored lines on his body lit up. He turned into a blood-colored afterimage and fled away into the distance with a whoosh.

"My intuition tells me that something bad is going to happen to us."

The instigator looked at the black-haired young man in front of him who had sucked the area around him into a vacuum, and the Blood Prison in the distance who chose to escape without hesitation. He touched his chin, made a pensive expression like a detective, and analyzed in a serious manner to the noble girl who had covered her ears.

"Master, I can't hear what you are saying now, but I think you'd better cover your ears first. You are already bleeding from the nose."

The noble girl looked at the instigator, whose nose already had two streaks of blood, and gave serious advice.

"Oh, really! Xiaoqing, you observe very carefully!"

The instigator touched his nose, looked at the blood on his hand, exclaimed in surprise, and then...

"war!!"

A roar filled with madness and tyranny rang out from the battlefield, and the instigator's head exploded with a bang. Brain matter and blood mixed together and splashed all over the face of the noble girl next to him.

Boom——! Boom——!
The next second, a heavy roar began to echo, and a bloody hand broke out of the bloody cocoon at the edge of the battlefield, followed by a head made of bloody tentacles, then a back with a pair of bat wings, then the chest, lower abdomen, thighs...

"war!!"

Finally, accompanied by a low roar full of tyranny, a blood-red giant monster nearly 200 meters tall, standing there like a blood-red mountain, stood on the ground and roared to the sky. [Warning: It has been detected that the [Lord Core] has been completely integrated into this world, and the [Lord Incarnation] corresponding to the [Lord Camp] has been forcibly hatched. Contractors in the area are requested to evacuate as soon as possible! ]

A scarlet and even black warning sounded from the battlefield. The black-haired young man looked at the blood-red giant as big as a mountain in front of him, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said nothing.

Now he finally knew where his previous lingering sense of disharmony came from.

The good news is that at present, the lord’s death is most likely true, and he indeed died in the nuclear explosion.

The bad news is that the other party's base camp, which is what Le Yuan calls the "Lord's Core", is the real "body" of the "Lord", or in other words...

——There has never been any real "Lord" in this world. There has only ever been a "Lord Core Puppet" called "Lord"!
[Detecting, comparing the soul strengths of both parties...]

[Detection completed. Because the detection unit has the [World Protection] effect, this detection can only obtain 50% of the opponent's information.]

……

Very good. If you encounter a guy who has embarked on the lord system in the future, you don’t have to care about his life or death, but the lord core he holds must be destroyed at all costs at the beginning.

On the battlefield, Xin Lailai glanced at the monstrous skill panel at the edge of his vision and memorized this lesson in his mind.

Just by looking at this panel, he instantly understood why the Lord System could be regarded as the core system within the Eternal Light World, which was once the Transcendental Original World, and was on par with the Wizard System, the Fiery Sun System, and the Ancient Dragon System, which were systems that could directly lead to the strongest peak.

Even if other skills are not needed, the two core skills of Lord Core and Lord Aura are enough to allow the lord incarnation in front of him to walk sideways in the world of the same level.

Compared with the strength of the legion flow of the lord system, Akado's River of Death is just like a degraded version of the lord's halo.

The 30 points of strength, stamina and agility bonus and various additional effects were a bit too abnormal no matter how you looked at it. Once the opponent unleashed an army of people and put together the highest level of bonus, even he, as a wizard, would probably have to temporarily avoid their attack.

"After I go back this time, I'll check out all the other ancient systems that have been lost in history."

If you don't have enough authority to find detailed information, you have to ask Boss 83203 and Kagus for help to get something. Otherwise, if you meet an unknown enemy who is actually a top-notch system that has once reached the peak of the strongest, you may not be as lucky this time.

Xin Lailai thought about it, glanced at the blood giant in front of him whose every step could cause the earth to tremble, and then looked to the edge of his vision:
[Reminder: Serious violations have been detected in the world where the Pioneer is currently located. An emergency task has been issued to the Pioneer.]
