Mythical Card Master: Start with the Knight

Black clouds covered the sky, flying sand and rocks, and surging water... In the hazy sandstorm, trees fluttered like duckweeds, and several tall epic creatures brought death like messengers of doom.

The aura of terror swept over them, and everyone opened their eyes wide, suffocated, and their heartbeats stopped... They waved the staffs in their hands and tried to attack Chaos.

Four demonic skeleton dragon vines and stone vine giants roared and rushed into the chaotic storm.

Crackling...

The wind blade and gravel hit Longteng's body, and Longteng wailed, and his body fell apart. Even the bones on his body were shattered and disappeared in the storm.

The remaining stone vine giants only persisted for a while, and the crown of the tree man's head continued to grow, directly wrapping the stone giant in green leaves.

The light in the eyes of the giant stone vine flickered on and off, and was soon submerged in the green.

At this time, Edel and Cynthia cast witchcraft, and the condensed will-o'-wisps flew into the storm.

No matter how violent the wind was and how the fire burned, the will-o'-the-wisp seemed to not exist in this world, ignoring everything and falling on the tree man.

Wow!

The purple will-o'-the-wisp was instantly ignited, and a painfully wailing face appeared on the tree man's wrinkled bark. Its voice was as sharp and harsh as a baby's cry.

"snort!"

A clear hum came from behind the tree man, and the epic wizard Jorge who was next to William just now raised his staff, and the glow lit up in the hazy dust, and a halo appeared.

Bang!

An invisible wave spread out, and the sand wall instantly became as bright as day, and the will-o'-the-wisps melted as quickly as ice and snow.

Jorge looked at Chu Ming with an indifferent expression, "Surrender without killing!"

After hearing this, everyone looked at Chu Ming.

Chu Ming faced the billowing dust, his gray robe rustling, and he smiled and stretched out his right hand.

"Why are you stealing my lines?"

Buzz buzz...

The long, fat sleeves of his gray robe were blown open by the storm, revealing the shining gauntlets underneath.

Looking at the glimmer of light shining behind the gray dust, Jorge frowned, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart. He did not dare to take it lightly, and a majestic voice came out, shouting to the epic wizards around him: "Everyone uses all their strength!"

When the other epic wizards heard this, their eyes flickered slightly, and they quietly moved away from that glimmer of light, even ready to escape at any time.

But on the surface they didn't show it, they just followed Jorge and raised the staff, and the staff lit up again.

The tree man revived again, the fire bear roared, and ran towards Chu Ming using his hands and feet. In the river, the water demon also rolled up a waterspout and attacked him.

Behind the Cavaliers, William Stellman saw this scene and chuckled as if he was sure of victory. Richard on the side also opened his eyes wide and raised the corners of his mouth crazily.

Countless rays of light shone in front of Chu Ming, covering up the glimmer of his wrist guards. The strong wind blew his long hair back, but he just squinted his eyes, and a wave appeared in his hand. Heart-stopping fluctuations of witchcraft.

In an instant, a loud rumbling sound came from the ground, and the vibration instantly covered up all the witchcraft movements. Several epic creatures looked around blankly.

Behind the wizard, the horses in the knights neighed uneasily because of the inexplicable vibration. Some horses failed to stand firm and fell directly to the ground and broke their legs.

Everyone in the Northern Knights hurriedly stabilized their bodies, their expressions changed drastically, and they stared intently at the center of the battlefield where witchcraft was rampant.

"What's this noise?!"

Then, a roar shook from the ground, and the raging storm paused for an instant. The storm and fire spread out like an explosion, disappearing instantly. Even the waterspout shook and stagnated in the air, forming a Countless little drops of water.

Before anyone could react, there was a rumble...a bottomless crack opened in the ground.

The fire bear was timid and roared wildly into the crack.

The next second, there was another violent vibration, and with a roar, a giant object rose into the sky.

"Moo!!!"

The abyss of chrysanthemum petals opened, and the fire bear instantly fell into darkness.

Everyone's eyes trembled as they watched the huge body of the Demon Skeleton Dragon Vine continuously pouring out from the gap. Its huge body instantly covered Chu Ming and others behind them.

The body of the Demon Skeleton Dragon Vine winds into the air like a mythical dragon. Purple light emerges from the gaps in the bones, adding a sense of mystery to its ferocious appearance.

"This...is this witchcraft?!"

The knights were so frightened that their steeds disobeyed orders and ran backward crazily.

For a time, the military situation was in chaos, and the Northern Knights were defeated.

Wizard Jorge, who was standing in front, looked gloomy and shouted to everyone around him in a deep voice: "Don't be afraid, this is just a bluff!"

"Let's go together!"

After saying that, several epics from the royal family raised their staffs one after another, and the light lit up, instantly attracting the attention of the huge Demon Skeleton Dragon Vine.

From its perspective, several ants suddenly glowed, summoning wind blades and scratching scars on its body.

The juice fell and the Demon Skeleton Dragon Vine roared. The wound healed quickly. It opened its mouth wide and lowered its head to bite several people.

Jorge panicked and shouted: "Everyone, attack it quickly!"

The words fell, but no one responded to him.

Those epic wizards from other earl territories ran away the moment the Demon Skeleton Dragon Vine appeared. No matter how he shouted, those wizards had no idea of ​​turning back.

A whistling sound sounded, and the huge mouth of the Demon Skeleton Dragon Vine shrouded several wizards in shadow like an abyss.

No matter how they waved their staffs, they could only leave dense but non-fatal wounds on the body of the Demon Skeleton Dragon Vine.

As long as Chu Ming can maintain his mental strength, these wounds will be able to recover quickly.

The wizards struggled for a while, and the giant mouth finally fell.

Their eyes went dark, and then they felt a sharp pain in their bodies, and then they lost consciousness.

Seeing that these epic wizards were so easily devoured by the Demon Skeleton Dragon Vine, the Cavaliers were really panicking now.

The earls shouted to retreat and led the knights back.

The knights abandoned their helmets and armor, leaving a mess on the spot, as well as some dead horse corpses and knights who were trampled to death. Blood flowed all over the floor.

Chu Ming's eyes narrowed, and he waved his arm. The super-giant demon skeleton dragon vine disappeared, and a new wave of witchcraft appeared in his hand.

Nirvana Dragon Vine!

The ground shook, and a jet-black dragon vine with a streamlined body emerged from the ground. Chu Ming motioned for everyone to step onto the dragon vine's back.

This slender dragon vine swam its body to avoid the casualty knights around it, and soon caught up with the fleeing knights.

"Run quickly, the monster is catching up!"

The Cavaliers shouted in panic. They had already lost their fighting spirit and had no intention of resisting.

In the middle of the fleeing team, William Sterman looked back at the dark dragon. He paused in his heart and finally panicked.

He grabbed the knight next to him with trembling hands and said nervously: "Ajiva, take me and Richard to hide."

The knight captain nodded and indifferently pushed a knight from the Earl of Winter off his horse.

"You...ahhh!!"

The horses trampled past, and even though the knight had an extraordinary physique, he couldn't help but howl. By the time the knights passed by, he was already dying.

"What are you doing?!"

The knights of the Earldom of Severe Winter reacted and glared at the royal knights one after another.

"Ah."

Akiva glanced at them indifferently, and the knights gritted their teeth but did not dare to take action.

The knight ignored them, escorted William and Richard onto their horses and ran to the back of the team.

At this time, the Nirvana Dragon Vine finally caught up with the Knights.

Chu Ming searched the knights with his eyes, and he shouted: "Surrender without killing!"

"I just want William Stellman's head!"

As soon as these words came out, the noisy Cavaliers became a little quieter, the counts' eyes flickered, and a strange atmosphere appeared in the Cavaliers.

The knights who were running slowly behind ran to both sides in panic. They discovered that Chu Ming really ignored them and ran straight ahead, without even hurting any knights.

They suddenly woke up and shouted: "Don't fucking run away, surrender without killing!"

The shouts from the knights behind him soon reached the front. One of the slow-running earls gritted his teeth and raised his hands.

"All knights, move out of the way, stop, we surrender!"

"We surrender!"

The knights woke up from their panic and quickly rode their horses to both sides and stopped.

On Long Teng's back, Chu Ming just glanced at them and ignored them, and continued to chase them.

The earls in front saw this, forcibly calmed down, and followed suit, hoping to stop the chaotic knights.

Just when Chu Ming thought things would go smoothly, a knight suddenly ran out of the crowd, shouting and waving his sword to stab him.

Chu Ming looked at him indifferently. Without Edel taking action, a dark curtain suddenly descended and enveloped the knight.

After he left, the darkness disappeared, a lump of black coal fell to the ground, and even the originally bright silver armor on the knight became dim.

When the knights saw this scene, their hearts tightened.

Fortunately, Chu Ming did not anger them.

The knights collapsed on the ground helplessly, with cold sweat covering their backs.

At the front of the team, as more and more counts surrendered, at the end of the run, only five thousand royal knights were left in the fleeing team.

Chu Ming had no expression on his face, staring at the fleeing knights.

Some knights felt nervous and quietly slowed down and left the team.

After the hearts of the people collapsed, even the Royal Knights lost their previous nobility and pride and quietly broke away from the team.

William Sterman, with disheveled hair, looked behind him in embarrassment, and met Chu Ming's eyes.

The old man's eyes were gloomy, and he shouted: "Wizard Narender, I can give you the title of Fengyang Empire, and your achievements will be praised by thousands of people in future generations..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chu Ming, "His Majesty Streman XVI, have you made enough trouble?"

"The Stelman family has sacrificed a lot to maintain the survival of mankind, and whose survival are you making these compromises for?"

William's pain point was poked, and his expression became excited, "Narende, you can't kill me. I still have to expel the dark wizards for the empire and regain the southern territory."

When Chu Ming heard this, his expression was grim, "Do you know how much opportunity you gave the dark wizard by gathering the Northern Knights here."

"William Stellman, you keep saying it's for the empire, but in fact it's just for yourself."

He waved his palm slightly, and the Demon Skeleton Dragon Vine instantly activated a black curtain. William Sterman and others who were running in front fell off their horses before they could react.

"Ahem..."

William Stellman's skinny body fell to the ground, and several of his ribs were broken.

He struggled to support his body and stretched out his palms weakly, "Narende... you can't kill me."

"The empire cannot be destroyed in my hands..."

The expression on the old man's face became more and more crazy, and the traces of distortion on his face glowed slightly red.

"I...can't die..."

William roared, letting out a beastly roar that was not human-like, and stood up unsteadily.

"I……"

This time the old man didn't even speak. He only heard a thud and a long sword pierced his heart.

"Well……"

The old man vomited blood profusely. He looked back sluggishly. The man who assassinated him turned out to be Richard? !

Looking at the old man's puzzled eyes, Richard endured his grief and whispered: "Father, you taught me to put the overall situation first."

After hearing these words, William's eyes became darker and darker, losing their luster.

The grief on Richard's face disappeared, he pulled out the bloody sword, ran to Chu Ming and knelt down in front of Chu Ming with a face full of joy.

"Lord Narender, the traitor is dead."

Richard lowered his head and trembled, praying for a glimmer of hope.

Chu Ming looked at him silently, and then said: "Richard, are you betting that I have high moral standards, or that I will not kill you in order to convince the public?"

When Richard heard this, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Chu Ming.

The corners of Chu Ming's lips turned up, "It's a pity that you guessed wrong. I have a bad temper and am very stingy."

"Narende, you..."

Richard looked shocked and wanted to stand up.

The next second, a black curtain descended and enveloped him.

He couldn't even let out a scream before he completely turned into a pile of charcoal.

When the surrounding wizards and knights saw this scene, their hearts trembled and they became wary.

Chu Ming glanced at the dejected knights around him and said, "William Stearman is dead. I will not hurt anyone as promised."

When the knight heard this, his eyelids twitched and he looked at the body of Prince Richard.

Doesn't this Richard count as a human being in his eyes?

The knights complained silently in their hearts, but did not dare to show it.

Looking at the different expressions of the knights, he continued: "Count Edel will take over here, you just need to follow his arrangements."

As he said that, he looked at Edel and said, "Help me summon the other earls. I have something to say."

Edel nodded, gave a few instructions to the knights who were following him, and began to straighten the order of the entire Northern Knights.

Allen and the others were staring at the three remaining epic wizards in the royal family with vigilance.

At this time, they had all given up resistance and put their hands behind their backs, waiting for the knights to escort them.

After everything was arranged, Chu Ming stepped forward, came to the body of William Sterman and picked up three staffs.

After turning the body over, it was found that the gold-trimmed luxurious coat on the old man's chest had been soaked in blood, and his death was not elegant.

On his wrinkled face, Chu Ming saw some red lines crawling like insects.

"Trace of distortion?"

He was lost in thought.

Logically speaking, William Stearman was still the Blue Knight when he was young. Even if he is old now, he should still have extraordinary strength. How could he be affected by the deformation disease?

The royal epic wizard who was kneeling on the ground glanced at the body of William Sterman. His face was ashen, he sighed, and then asked Chu Ming: "Lord Narender, do you want to know this about us?" Old thing’s past?”

Chu Ming looked away from the corpse and looked at the epic wizard.

The epic wizard has gray hair, which is combed into braids. Although there are no wrinkles on his face, he is much older than William Stearman.

He asked: "Are you?"

The old man bowed slightly and stood up, "Returning to Sir Narender, I am Heather Sears, the wizard who accompanied His Majesty William in his northern expansion thirty-six years ago."

Chu Ming touched his chin, "Do you know where William Sterman's deformity disease came from?"

Heather Sears nodded and said, "When I followed His Majesty to expand northward, I saw him using that unknown power."

Chu Ming was stunned, "You mean William Sterman started using aberration power thirty-six years ago?"

The old man sighed, "Maybe sooner."

"His Majesty took over the control of the empire from the king when he was young. At that time, he was ambitious and planned to follow the example of the empire's previous kings and open up the dark land. Unfortunately, his strength was slightly lacking. During the first year of development, the pioneering army suffered a tragic loss. destruction."

"After His Majesty escaped back to China, he was reviled by countless people, but he didn't care and even showed unprecedented excitement."

"At that time, I was just an ordinary wizard in the wizard tower in the royal capital. I didn't witness it myself. I just listened to other people's stories."

"But after the second year, His Majesty re-recruited the Northern Expedition team and started the Northern Expedition again despite everyone's opposition, and I was also in the team at that time."

"I have seen him kill epic creatures with one sword and resist the tide of beasts."

"At that time, I attributed this power to personal power." Heather sighed, "Now it seems that he must have come into contact with the God of Knowledge and gained aberrant power."

Hearing this, Chu Ming frowned, "So how does the God of Knowledge come into contact with people, and what are the conditions?"

Heather Sears looked strange when she heard his doubts, "Sir Narender, have you ever had nightmares?"

Chu Ming instinctively wanted to shake his head, but suddenly remembered that he had been having nightmares since he started writing this history.

He hesitated and asked, "What is the connection between the God of Knowledge and nightmares?"

Hearing what Chu Ming said, the old man breathed a sigh of relief. He explained: "The contact between humans and the God of Knowledge begins in dreams. The God of Knowledge has the power to control dreams."

"Almost all geniuses he thinks have potential, he will use dreams to seduce the geniuses into so-called knowledge transactions."

"The nightmare Lord Narender has is just a subconscious warning to you. If you haven't met the God of Knowledge yet, it means that the God of Knowledge has no way to control your dreams."

"Of course, those epic wizards who have complete control over their dreams can actually completely refuse to communicate with the God of Knowledge."

"It's just a pity that there are still quite a few epic wizards who can't resist the temptation of power and are lured step by step to become the puppets of the God of Knowledge."
