#174 - Jason is dead, the beast tide has retreated
Klein stood on the roof of the ruins, wanting to use a bone hand to retrieve his sword.
But Jason clearly didn't give Klein that chance. All the bone hands and bone blades Klein released were cut off by him with a single blow.
Jason, stepping on the blade of the Falling Camellia, unleashed more than a dozen sword beams, forcing Klein back, and then spoke.
"Why don't you use the Soul Stone? If the Soul Stone is with you, now is your last chance!"
I don't even have a Soul Stone, Klein thought, but the words changed as they reached his lips.
"Do you think now is the time for me to use the Soul Stone?"
"Heh heh, if you don't use the Soul Stone, you're really going to be beaten to death by me."
Taking advantage of the opportunity to talk, Klein stalled for as long as he could, waiting for the chaotic arcane particles in his spiritual sea to divide.
Because his magic power and control had increased too much, this time the chaotic arcane particles were breeding and polluting more slowly, but they were also relatively easier to control.
He knew that only when the chaotic arcane energy reached a threshold would it completely erupt.
Klein felt the progress of the chaotic arcane particles' pollution. He estimated that he needed to delay for at least another 5 minutes. So, Klein entered a rhythm of fighting and stalling again.
"Captain Jason, can you return my Falling Camellia sword to me?"
"This sword looks good, and it has a delicate name, Falling Camellia, is it? Scattered camellia flowers, indeed very beautiful."
At this moment, Jason's voice suddenly changed, becoming gloomy and hoarse.
"Using camellia flowers on Mr. Klein's tombstone will definitely be a good match!"
Klein wanted to stall for time, but Jason didn't give him the chance anymore. He picked up Klein's Falling Camellia sword, held it in his left hand, and his own war blade in his right hand, and pounced towards Klein again.
Before he even arrived, two slashes had already cut through the air, blocked by Klein with a bone spear. Looking at Jason holding the Falling Camellia, the corners of Klein's mouth curled up slightly.
Just as Jason approached Klein, the Falling Camellia in his hand suddenly erupted with a dark shadow flame, and the hilt of the Falling Camellia, along with Jason's arm, began to burn.
The power of the dark shadow flame was something even a Fourth Order could not ignore. Jason wanted to use the power of shadow to dispel the dark shadow flame, but he didn't expect that his power of shadow would be immediately devoured upon touching Klein's dark shadow flame, making the dark shadow flame even more vigorous.
"What kind of ability is this?"
Jason was both surprised and annoyed, and could only let go of the Falling Camellia, urging his battle aura to suppress the dark shadow flame.
Klein, on the side, had already used a bone hand to retrieve the Falling Camellia, which was being burned by the dark shadow flame, and more than a dozen bone blades, along with the Falling Camellia, slashed over.
"My sword, how could it be so easy to take!"
The hidden mechanism of the Falling Camellia was designed by Klein a long time ago, in order to be used as a trap one day, or when someone stole his weapon, to detonate the blade for a counterattack. This moment was when this hidden mechanism came into play.
Although the Falling Camellia had excellent magic conductivity, it could only withstand ordinary shadow power, unable to withstand the overbearing dark shadow flame. Klein planned to let it make its final attack and break in battle. This could also be considered the best end for a sword.
Jason extinguished the dark shadow flame with battle aura and regained his composure. He had no reason to rush.
Whether it was strength or speed, he was above Klein. Even if some mistakes allowed Klein to gain a little advantage, it didn't matter.
As Jason approached, Klein seemed to see the wraiths缠绕 around behind him. Jason slashed with his sword.
"Ghost Slash!"
Jason, with surging power and impact, charged towards Klein again. This slash of his came with absolute killing intent.
"Boom!"
The Falling Camellia collided with Jason's sword. No matter how strong the dark shadow flame was, it couldn't match Jason's fierce battle aura, and was chopped into pieces by the Ghost Slash.
After the Falling Camellia broke, the dark shadow flame that erupted burned across Jason's body, burning his upper clothes to ashes.
However, the Second Order dark shadow flame was quickly suppressed by Jason's battle aura. Jason revealed his naked upper body, covered with intertwined scars all over his body, not knowing what he had experienced in the past.
"Now your sword is really gone! Mr. Klein!"
Before Jason finished speaking, he had already leaned down and charged over. Although his figure was tall, his speed was not slow at all.
Watching Jason charging straight at him, Klein sensed the time again, and his heart sank slightly. He had to endure it head-on.
But even so, Jason's attack still shattered 4 layers of Klein's bone shield.
Before Klein could even show his head, Jason's sweeping leg had already kicked the shield, kicking Klein and the shield off the roof of the ruins in one go.
Klein fell heavily to the ground. The bone-eating beasts around him had already begun to surround Klein. Jason also jumped down from the roof and slashed down.
"Boom!"
The war blade slashed on the ground, and the flat ground immediately split apart. Klein could only barely dodge, rolling to the side, and sighing slightly.
"Fourth Order is still strong! I feel like I don't have any power to fight back. I originally wanted to save some magic power to save my life. It seems that it won't work!"
A large number of bones stretched out from Klein's back. This time, he released as many as hundreds of bone blades.
The overwhelming bone blades stabbed towards Jason, but a layer of bone shields actually rose around Jason, blocking the bone blades one by one.
"Very powerful magic, but not enough attack power! And you forgot, I also know bone magic."
Jason charged towards Klein again. Although his rank was much higher than Klein's, his shadow power would be restrained by Klein's dark shadow flame, and the strength of his bone spells was not as good as Klein's bones.
So, close combat was the fastest and most effective way to solve Klein.
The close combat moves of the Dark Crusaders were very domineering and fierce. Jason would cut off a large number of Klein's bone blades with each slash. No matter how much magic power Klein had, he couldn't withstand his slashing and consumption.
Just when Jason was close enough to Klein, Klein retreated rapidly. The tip of the knife swept across the bridge of Klein's nose, just a little bit off.
Although Klein dodged thrillingly, Jason also revealed a flaw because of this aggressive slash.
A large number of bone blades were nailed to the ground under Jason's feet one by one, forcing him back. Klein knelt on the ground panting, it was really difficult.
Jason was a little irritable. Klein's ability was really annoying, and he really didn't understand why Klein's magic power hadn't been used up even after using bone magic on such a large scale?
How much magic power does he have? Jason stopped and slightly changed his orders to the surrounding bone-eating beasts.
"Get him!"
After giving the order to the bone-eating beasts, Jason didn't attack again, but hid in the bone-eating beast swarm, watching the bone-eating beast swarm consume Klein, waiting for a loophole in Klein's defense to launch a more fatal raid.
This kind of combat method, where one's strength is clearly stronger than yours, but one still fights while borrowing strength to consume you, would definitely be correct under normal circumstances.
This combat method would not give the opponent any chance to counterattack and turn the tables. In Jason's view, this was the safest way for him to kill Klein.
It wasn't that he didn't want to forcefully kill Klein, but the abilities of this guy in front of him were really too strange. Bone spears that could explode and emit dark shadow flames, ancient magic bone extensions, and very powerful shadow arrows and shadow shocks.
Jason had been attacking for a long time without success, and he hadn't felt any violent magic fluctuations on Klein's body. The ultimate move that he had been waiting for Klein to release hadn't appeared either.
So, Jason put down some of his vigilance against Klein's ultimate move and changed his combat method again, choosing caution again.
But what Jason didn't expect was that this cautious fighting style gave Klein what he wanted most and what was most precious.
Time!
While killing the surrounding bone-eating beasts, Klein allowed the bones in his body to begin to combine, brew, and then extend out again.
"Klein's Power - Bone!"
Endless bone thorns spread around Klein, once again killing a large number of bone-eating beasts.
This time, Klein did not retract the bones, but used the Burning Magic Heart to sever the connection with these extended bones, detonating all the bones.
"Boom!"
A large number of bone fragments exploded outward, and patches of bone-eating beasts fell, but even more bone-eating beasts pounced up under Jason's command.
Klein's hands were covered with dark shadow flames, quietly waiting.
"Almost there!"
Suddenly, after Klein killed a few bone-eating beasts with shadow arrows, Jason's war blade suddenly stretched out from behind the beast swarm.
This attack was accurate, fast, and ruthless. Klein had no time to react at all.
"Puchi!"
The war blade accurately pierced Klein's chest, and dark battle aura ravaged his body. The huge impact force caused Klein's sternum to sink in.
Klein spat out a mouthful of blood and grinned!
"Jason, this time, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
"Heh heh, last words before death?"
Jason smiled, he was a little excited, because once Klein died, the candlestick would be his.
Klein shook his head, rarely speaking reasonably.
"苟 [Gou, meaning to live ignobly], is not the only way to survive. Sometimes, 莽 [Mang, meaning reckless], is too.
If you were a little more fierce, there would really be too many opportunities to kill me, but your personality does not match your appearance at all.
From the probing during the academy period, I knew that your personality was too weak, Captain Jason! A weak personality is a weakness."
The candle wax in Jason's mind slightly praised. In his opinion, Klein's performance was really too amazing. Such a person was the perfect host.
He wanted to see what Klein, who had said these words, was going to do next to turn defeat into victory.
"What does it matter whether I'm weak or not? Killing you will be the end of it!"
Jason clenched his war blade, but found that the war blade seemed to be stuck by something. It was chaotic arcane energy decomposing his weapon.
Klein raised his arm, making a gesture of about to snap his fingers.
"The ancient classics of the Jesse Society describe in detail that arcane arts are the true essence of this world."
"So, you're done, Jason."
"Snap!"
As Klein snapped his fingers, intense chaotic arcane particles began to erupt from Klein's Burning Magic Heart. This time, there would be no more restrictions.
The iconic cyan-white brilliance of arcane arts began to ripple at Klein's chest, beginning to spread outward.
Looking at the warblade being disintegrated by the chaotic arcane energy, Jason murmured.
“What did you do?”
As he spoke, he could already feel his body gradually stiffening. Arcane energy began to contaminate his body, entering his Dou Qi core and invading his magic pool.
The magic power within Jason's body, the non-attribute kind, would be directly converted into arcane energy, while the power of shadow would first be decomposed into non-attribute magic power, and then continue to be converted into arcane energy.
The virus-like contamination began again. Jason wanted to struggle, but his body was completely stiff, and he could only barely open his mouth.
“Energy contamination, you will also die.”
“Don't worry, you will die, but I won't.”
Klein was also in a stiff state. His smile gradually froze on his face, and his expression was fixed.
The Bone-Eating Beasts around him initially didn't understand what was happening. They continued to rush towards Klein one after another.
But when a Bone-Eating Beast was contaminated with chaotic arcane energy, its body also stiffened.
Why are magical beasts called magical beasts? Because every magical beast has primitive magic power in its body. This chaotic, disordered magic power is the most ideal breeding ground and nourishment for chaotic arcane energy.
Chaotic arcane particles began to spread like a virus.
After the dark red bodies of the Bone-Eating Beasts were contaminated by arcane energy, their bodies gradually turned bluish-white. The arcane energy used their bodies as a base and continued to spread outward.
Eventually, it turned into a silent, bluish-white massacre.
Although the Bone-Eating Beasts had low intelligence, they weren't brainless. Watching their kind gradually stiffen and turn bluish-white, they began to realize something was wrong and became afraid.
However, the speed of arcane energy contamination became faster and faster. They acted as stepping stones, shuttling between the Bone-Eating Beasts, corroding all magic and everything with magic power.
The Bone-Eating Beast horde finally couldn't bear this silent death, and the horde began to collapse.
… …
Becky held the Candle Demon Sword, standing at the forefront of the team, numbly and continuously swinging her sword. Each strike killed a large number of Bone-Eating Beasts.
The team behind her could no longer feel the pressure brought by the Bone-Eating Beasts, because most of the Bone-Eating Beasts were killed by Becky alone.
Her expression was very strange, as if she was enjoying and reveling in her current state, but also in pain and struggling.
Lance silently stood behind Becky, because he felt that Becky's mental state was problematic.
Although she was helping the team kill Bone-Eating Beasts, no one could be sure if she would suddenly turn against them.
At this time, the sharp-eyed Perona seemed to have discovered something. She pointed at the beast horde in the distance and said.
“They, they don’t seem to be coming for us. They seem to be running away?”
Perona's words reminded everyone. Everyone looked in the direction the Bone-Eating Beasts were running from. Sure enough, even without interception, they no longer attacked the team.
It seemed that something terrible was happening behind them.
Lance stared at the Bone-Eating Beast horde in the distance. Suddenly, he noticed a touch of bluish-white appearing in the Bone-Eating Beast horde.
This bluish-white color shuttled between the large number of Bone-Eating Beasts, as if it were contagious. The Bone-Eating Beasts contaminated with this energy would quickly stiffen, fall to the ground, and their bodies would gradually turn bluish-white.
“Retreat! Retreat quickly!”
Not only him, but everyone also noticed the strangeness of this bluish-white wave. They quickly got up and ran in the opposite direction.
Lance stayed behind to cover their retreat. Perona rode the mechanical Bone-Eating Beast and took Lillith with her. The others also ran away, avoiding the bluish-white wave.
Only Becky, one of her legs had been drained by the Candle Demon Sword. She limped and moved too slowly. Lance wanted to pull her, but Becky directly refused.
“Get away, don’t touch me.”
Becky's refusal was a bit inexplicable. Looking at Becky's eyes, Lance seemed to understand some of her thoughts, because he had also had the same thoughts before.
A will to die.
When everyone had run away, only Becky stood in place, holding the Candle Demon Sword.
【Why don't you leave?】 The voice of the candle hilt entered Becky's mind.
“Although I have violated too many knightly principles, I also understand that things like you should not exist in this world.”
【Ignorant, foolish, with me, you will have the power to stand at the top of the world】
“No need, I don’t like my body being like this.”
Becky touched her right cheek. The shriveled, wrinkled skin made her uncomfortable. Loving beauty was a woman's nature, and she was no exception.
She slowly closed her eyes, waiting for death to come.
The bluish-white arcane energy surged over. Just when Becky was ready to die, the wave of energy actually stopped.
After a long time, Becky slowly opened her eyes, looking at the arcane energy close at hand. She was a little surprised.
“It actually stopped, didn’t I die like this?”
【It seems that your plan has failed!】
Becky didn't speak. When facing death but not dying, a person's mentality would change again. She was the same. Becky remained silent, not knowing what she was thinking.
… …
The arcane energy began to flow back. The Bone-Eating Beasts and various items with magic power that had been eroded by the arcane energy began to shatter and disintegrate, becoming part of the energy torrent and returning in the previous direction.
The magic power in each Bone-Eating Beast's body was actually not much, because the Bone-Eating Beast itself was a melee-type magical beast, but a full tens of thousands of Bone-Eating Beasts were contaminated. Gathering them together was an astonishing number.
Arcane contamination would only stop after gathering enough magic power. This was also the reason why this arcane contamination was able to kill so many Bone-Eating Beasts.
These energies re-entered Klein's mental world. When the chaotic arcane particles returned to the Burning Demon Heart, they would be converted back into non-attribute magic power and enter the Burning Demon Heart.
The Burning Demon Heart gradually became larger, cracked open, and then revealed several sharp corners, changing from a spherical shape to a regular, uneven shape.
All the magic power returned to Klein's body, and the second baptism of arcane energy began.
Klein's magic power began to grow wildly, pouring out, purifying, and then growing wildly again. This was repeated until all the magic power that had been contaminated by arcane mountain was completely absorbed back.
… …
After a long time, Klein's finger twitched.
“Can I move?”
Klein slowly opened his eyes. The injury on his chest had been completely repaired, and Jason's warblade had also been shattered into powder.
As Klein moved his body, Jason in front of him suddenly moved.
“Awake? Captain Jason?”
Jason clenched his palm, as if feeling something.
“Chaotic energy contamination is a phenomenon that only occasionally occurs after the death of a super-order powerhouse. How did you do it?”
Klein was a little puzzled. A phenomenon after the death of a super-order powerhouse? It sounded very powerful, but so what?
“Captain Jason, the victory has been decided. Do you have any last words?”
Jason subconsciously touched his head. He really didn't have any magic power left. The magic pool was destroyed, and the mental space became a blank space.
The Qi Sea in his chest was completely annihilated, and the Dou Qi core became shattered slag. It was gone, everything was gone. Jason looked at Klein for a long time before speaking.
“I don’t want to die.”
Klein was slightly stunned. He had previously thought that Jason would say a few tough words like the gang bosses in his previous life's TV dramas after death.
But he didn't expect that the last words would be the most meaningless.
“I am not a merciful and forgiving saint. I have always been a person who repays kindness and repays grievances, and does things according to my own preferences.
This is my principle, so I will not let go of any of my enemies, especially an enemy like you who has no principles.”
Without giving Jason a chance to speak, Klein snapped his neck.
A top expert of the fourth rank dual profession, the captain of the Paromia Black Cross, finally died in Klein's hands.
After Jason died, a mass of red liquid emerged from his mouth. It looked like more viscous blood, making Klein feel a little nauseous.
It seemed that because of the arcane energy contamination, this liquid looked very weak, as if it was about to die at any moment.
It sent a wisp of consciousness towards Klein.
【I didn't expect that you would actually defeat Jason. Very good, you have the qualifications to become the host of the Candle Demon, a truly complete host of the Candle Demon.】
Klein looked at this puddle of liquid. Heh heh, host of the Candle Demon, do I care? He said expressionlessly.
“Just you? Where is the candlelight he mentioned?”
Seeing that Klein didn't seem easy to talk to, and plus the fact that he was very weak now, the candle wax suddenly became a little cowardly.
For some reason, he was a little afraid to refuse to answer Klein's question.
【The candlelight is in Jason's basement. I am very weak now, can you swallow me and let me recover a bit?】
Klein looked at this lump of liquid. You just crawled out of Jason's mouth, and now you want me to swallow you? Are you kidding me, bro?
“You are too disgusting, I can't swallow you.”
Klein grabbed the candle wax. It was sticky and even more disgusting.
“Now, take me to Jason's basement.”
Candlestick, candle wax, plus the candlelight in Jason's basement, that would be three.
If you count Perona's wick, then that would be exactly four.
His current limit for synthesizing items is four. Synthesizing five items is too far away.
As for becoming some kind of host of the Candle Demon, are you kidding me? How could he let these things run into his brain?
Following the guidance of the candle wax, Klein walked towards Jason's basement, feeling a faint sense of anticipation in his heart.

(PS: Free, many people asked about the Candle Demon issue, a total of 5, a simple explanation)
Heart, wick, Perona, power of symbiosis
Body, candle hilt, Becky, power of destruction
Head, candlestick, Klein, power of amplification
Limbs, candle wax, Klein, power of regeneration
Soul, candlelight, wild, power of soul
I will fix the previous text tonight, there may be less tomorrow but it will not be less than 6000
