Chapter 418 The sword comes! The sword comes again! The sword comes again?!
"Is this what you meant by going out to look for clues and following the trail to the Dragon King's lair?"
Lin Chong accidentally entered the White Tiger Hall. If he wanted to, he could easily kill the enemy alone with a single sword.
But if you, Caesar, accidentally enter the dragon's nest, isn't it like a meat bun hitting Fingle, and there is no return?
At the entrance to Nibelungen, Nono was holding Ricardo, the key, and looking at her boyfriend with a teasing look on her face.
She didn't blame Caesar for his actions. After all, he had discussed this with her before leaving, and even made a contingency plan for what to do if he lost contact in an emergency.
So, this was actually an expected failure.
Caesar was covered in dust, his gorgeous golden hair had turned gray, his handsome face was covered with dust, and his clothes were torn to tatters. He looked quite disheveled.
He held up his hunting knife, Dick Tudo, and while releasing the Word Spirit Kamaitachi to monitor the surrounding environment, he explained to Nono:
"I didn't expect Ricardo's blood to be so effective. It sent me and Fingel directly to the Nibelungen."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but look at his brother-in-law who was curled up in Nono's arms. He was already full of sleep at this time, and was stretching out his hands and babbling, trying to grab the rattle in Eiry's hand that was making a crisp sound.
The reason why Lu Mingfei could safely leave Nuonuo, Caesar and Key, the three people with the lowest fighting power in the gang, here was because Eiry was watching over them.
With her around, even if the real Dragon King comes, they can hold on until Lu Mingfei returns.
If you meet someone a little less skilled, like Ye, you might be able to seize the opportunity to severely injure him and beat him to his knees sobbing.
Just when she was about to say that it was thanks to Nono that they brought reinforcements to rescue her husband, suddenly the released sickle-weasel sent back a disturbing sound, the rock formation let out a dull roar, and countless monsters howled and fled.
Immediately afterwards, the platform, covered with fallen rocks, dust and ashes, began to shake violently. The roof beams, tiles and iron frames collapsed and fell off, hitting the ground with a loud bang.
"This is..." Caesar's eyes widened. "The Nibelungen is collapsing. Is the Dragon King dead?!"
It had only been a few minutes since Lu Mingfei dug through the tunnel and took Finkel to rescue people, and he had already killed the King of Earth and Mountain?
Isn't this too fast?
Lu Mingfei wasn’t this fast when he fought Norton in Changjiang before.
Is it that Fenrir is too weak, or that the King of Bronze and Fire is too strong, or that the Dragon King's strength recovery speed cannot keep up with Lu Mingfei's speed of growth?
Outrageous!
As for why I didn't suspect Chu Zihang and Xia Mi, I can only say that the stereotype is there.
Having actually faced a second-generation pure-blooded dragon, Caesar knew exactly what a terrifying existence it was. It was truly oppressive, so oppressive that it made it difficult to breathe.
An A-level hybrid like him, with a strong inner will and a firm determination, will not be frightened like Selma, and can withstand the pressure and fight back against the dragon clan.
Caesar had no doubt that Chu Zihang was determined to face the Dragon King head-on and wield his sword, but Chu Zihang was not alone. There was a rookie from the preparatory class who was holding him back.
Caesar was also a member of the executive department. He knew how famous Chu Zihang was in the executive department. He knew that he was a lonely and arrogant lone wolf, and his companions were just a burden to him.
Especially during his trip to Japan, he knew that Chu Zihang possessed Jun Yan, an indiscriminate attacking spirit that could injure a thousand enemies and also a thousand friends.
If he didn't want to turn the innocent and lovely school girl into an African student, he would be restricted in his battle with the Dragon King. Moreover, there were not only dragons in Nibelungen, but also a large number of Deadpools and Kamaitachis.
Those alone were enough to make Chu Zihang exhausted from fighting.
Therefore, the one who slays the dragon must be Lu Mingfei, and only Lu Mingfei.
Otherwise, where would he find a third Dragon King to improve his record?
Being pinned down by the Lionheart Club's president is something I absolutely cannot accept!
Sensing the earthquake approaching, Eiry stopped shaking the rattle and looked up at a dark tunnel not far away where rubble and dirt were constantly falling. There was not much worry in her eyes.
Sakura is the strongest.
It’s just that the clothes he changed into tonight were picked out by me, and they are good friends with the one I’m wearing. I also want to wear them out shopping tomorrow.
If it gets dirty, I can only change to the second favorite set.
As I thought about this, the huge ceiling above my head fell off.
Caesar had noticed the movement early on. He protected Nono with one hand and made her retreat, while with the other hand he raised his knife to split the metal ceiling.
However, before he could swing the knife as if to vent his frustration for the night, Eiry, who was playing with the children nearby, raised her head and shook the rattle in her hand. In an instant, an invisible energy shot up into the sky, directly shattering the ceiling of the lower floor into pieces, which shot into the surroundings.
Caesar: _?
Sorry to bother you.
Nuonuo raised her hand to cover the top of the key to prevent the falling dust from falling into the boy's wide-open eyes.
But this is obviously a bit of an overthinking. Eri is a severe mysophobia person, how could she not have considered this? She directly used the Extremely Dangerous Word Spirit: Judgment as a wall breaker and a hair dryer, which is like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.
"Eri is so amazing!" Nono saw that there was no dust on her body and praised her distant cousin sincerely.
Although she has not awakened her Word Spirit and her strength is not that strong, her good sister is strong and powerful.
Eri was in a foreign country. Although she was accompanied by Lu Mingfei and Ling, and was familiar with Chu Zihang and Finkel, they became close to each other very quickly because of their blood relationship.
Especially Nono's words were so sweet, praising her to be as good as Sakura.
Caesar did not join in the sisters' chat. The kamaitachi had already caught a scream coming from deep in the tunnel. There was a large object moving at high speed in the tunnel.
There were heartbeats, breathing, and voices.
It’s Lu Mingfei and the others.
The speed of travel was so fast that within seconds, even Eri and Nono could hear the shrieking in the tunnel.
“Shhh——”
Soon, a flashlight beam shot out from the tunnel, followed by Lu Mingfei standing with his hands behind his back, Finger holding his thigh as a safety bar, and Chu Zihang and Xia Mi who were close together in a very ambiguous posture.
The Mingfei's flight deck stopped, and Finkel jumped onto the platform. Chu Zihang also released Xia Mi, who was acting as a fixed valve, and pulled her down to join Caesar and others.
Looking at Chu Zihang, who was shirtless, with bruises on his chest and abdomen, and his pants were torn, looking much more miserable than himself, and seeing Xia Mi appearing unharmed except for her messy hair, Caesar breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he wondered whether they had ever faced the Dragon King directly.
But it was obviously not the time to talk, Nibelungen was collapsing and had to leave as soon as possible.
Everyone turned to leave, but saw him still standing on the plank, motionless. Finger couldn't help but said anxiously, "Brother, hurry up and leave! This is about to collapse! Are you still planning to collect the body of the King of the Earth and the Mountain?"
"Sakura?" Eri couldn't help but call him, but she wasn't worried. She just thought he had found something interesting and didn't plan to take her with him.
Chu Zihang and Xia Mi also stopped and looked back at him.
Lu Mingfei pointed to the back and said, "You guys go ahead. Two gates to reality have been opened by the Nibelungen collapse. I have to close them and kill the Deadpool and Kamaitachi who escaped."
As he said that, he waved to Eri: "You guys go back and wait for me first, I'll be back soon."
After hearing this, everyone put their minds at ease, thinking that there was some emergency that needed to be resolved.
Everyone knows Lu Mingfei's abilities. Compared to the past, he was just a drag. It would be better to just leave this dangerous place early and let him act alone so that the problem can be solved faster.
Nuonuo didn't hesitate, picked up the key, and whispered to him, "Little Jiatu, be good and open the door."
When Xia, Lord of the Nibelungs, Mi, heard these childish and innocent words, the joy of achieving his goal suddenly halved. He felt not so good, as if the anti-theft door he had built at great expense was easily pried open by someone using his student card.
When the key heard what his sister said, he also acted out a show. He sat up in his sister's arms with his hands raised, and was about to use his ability to pry the door open.
But just as his eyes gradually lit up with golden light, Lu Mingfei's voice came from behind: "The key is good, but don't be greedy."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sword in his hand suddenly swung out a cold light, directly cutting a space rift beside everyone, at the stairs leading to the underground floor. Outside was a real world that was completely different from the collapsing Nibelungen.
"Fuck, so handsome?!"
Finkel had known for a long time that Lu Mingfei had the ability to open the Nibelung, but he had not revealed it before, thinking that he had some ulterior motives, so he had never told anyone else. He had never expected that he was just trying to show off in front of the gang members who joined later.
But obviously, except for Caesar and Nono, everyone else was a little bit used to it.
Compared to Caesar's genuine shock, Nono was speechless.
Why didn't you tell me earlier that you have the ability to open the Nibelungen Gate? Didn't you know that the key is small and consumes a lot of energy, and it takes a long time to open it after using the Word Spirit?
But in the end, there was no delay. Everyone filed out and returned to the real world, looking at Lu Mingfei across the rift connecting to the Nibelungen.
The latter raised his finger in front of his forehead and waved it, and the crack quickly closed. In the end, he was seen turning around and driving the spaceship "Yuban" into the depths of Nibelungen.
…
The night is gentle, neon lights are flashing, and traffic is bustling, presenting a prosperous and flourishing scene in the capital.
However, deep in the underground veins of this city, an ulterior motive is quietly unfolding under the cover of night.
At a station that has been shut down for maintenance, Professor Mans and a group of executive department specialists are carrying out the task of surveying the Nibelungen.
Several elite specialists from the academy headquarters and branch executive bureaus stood in the shadows under the tunnel entrance, on full alert.
Professor Mans, his ace partners Ye Sheng and Shude Aki, and intern Selma, who could not hide her nervousness, were standing deeper in the room, busy with the auxiliary detection instruments.
The purpose of their trip was clear. In official terms, it was to try to locate the possible entrance to the Nibelungen based on the urban legend clues provided by Fingel, conduct preliminary reconnaissance and information collection, and lay the foundation for possible subsequent dragon-slaying operations.
In layman's terms, it's just a matter of trying your luck and seeing if a blind cat can catch a dead mouse.
Considering that the nature of the mission was reconnaissance rather than assault, and that they were located near key facilities such as the subway system, the weapons carried by the executive team were mainly non-lethal Frigga tranquilizer bullets and various melee cold weapons, aiming to avoid making a big noise and causing unnecessary damage to the greatest extent possible.
The Executive Department's regulations manual clearly states the ban on the use of heavy firepower in cities, especially since this is a country where guns are banned. If they really want to make another commotion as big as Operation Wushan, no one can afford the cost.
After confirming that everything was ready, Professor Mans gave the order in a deep voice: "Ye Sheng, let's begin."
Ye Sheng nodded, took a deep breath of the slightly turbid and choking air, and closed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, a pale golden light flowed in his eyes, like a candle in the dark night.
He slowly squatted down and gently pressed his hands on the cold and rough rails. As usual, Jude Aki bent down and hugged Ye Sheng in his arms.
Word Spirit·Snake!
Silently, countless invisible vacuum snakes were released from his consciousness and quickly spread along the cold rails into the depths of the tunnel.
Snakes spread extremely quickly in metal, a conductor with excellent conductivity, and soon all the scenes in the subway line within a radius of six or seven kilometers were fed back to Ye Sheng's mind.
At night, there are not many factors that can cause interference. Ye Sheng feels that he can make another effort and expand the exploration distance to ten kilometers.
Just as he increased the output and controlled the snake to move forward, the snake that was still wandering within a kilometer around suddenly touched an impenetrable, twisted and strange energy boundary.
A breath of death stained the snake and was fed back to Ye Sheng's mind in real time.
A strange attribute, but a familiar feeling, there is no mistake, this is the breath of the land of the dead!
Ye Sheng, who was squatting on the ground, trembled suddenly and opened his eyes instantly as if he had been electrocuted. His light golden pupils suddenly shrank and all the blood disappeared from his face!
Mans had been monitoring Ye Sheng's biometric signals, one hand hovering over the red button for calling for help/support. Seeing this, he asked urgently, "Has Nibelungen been located?"
"It's located." Ye Sheng's face was filled with a look of "fuck", his voice trembled uncontrollably, and he couldn't help but curse:
"It's the Nibelungen coming towards us!"
"What?!" Professor Mans suspected that there was something wrong with his ears, but soon he realized that what Ye Sheng said was true.
Nibelungen really appeared in front of them and opened its doors to them!
Ye Sheng endured the stinging and dizziness in his mind brought by the chaotic and violent information flow sent back by the snake, and reminded in a stern voice: "There are Deadpools! Many Deadpools rushed out from Nibelungen!
They're approaching us! Very fast! No, why... they look like they're running for their lives?!
Before Ye Sheng could figure it out, a deafening roar of a monster came from the tunnel in the distance, followed by a violent tremor. Countless pairs of red-gold eyes lit up from the darkness, rushing towards the people in the executive department with a bloody storm.
"Everyone! Prepare for battle! Form a defensive line! We must not allow anything to enter the subway system!
Repeat, don't let anything get out!"
Professor Mans slammed the red button hard to send out a distress signal, almost roaring out orders, and instantly made the most difficult but also the most correct decision.
Once these monsters break through the defense and pour into the human world, the consequences will be disastrous. They must hold on!
Everyone took action and prepared for battle, but facing the surging monsters in the distance, their hearts inevitably sank to the freezing point.
They came here only for reconnaissance, not to fight this desperate defensive battle, and they were not equipped with heavy weapons with sufficient lethality!
Professor Mans drew the revolver from his waist, Jude Aki pulled Ye Sheng behind him and used his body as a barrier, Selma raised his sniper rifle, and other commissioners also raised their weapons. Everyone's face was filled with determination and solemnity.
Just when they had temporarily organized a defensive line, the vibrations in the depths of the tunnel became more and more intense. Countless sharp howls that made one's scalp numb and the frantic flapping of wings came from far away and approached, like a tsunami of death, quickly filling the entire tunnel, making people's eardrums sting and even their hearts seem to jump out of their chests!
The next moment, in the tunnel illuminated by a strong flashlight, countless densely packed blue-black monsters rushed out from the darkness like middle school students grabbing food after school or like zombies out of a cage, desperately rushing towards the only exit.
"Fire! Fire freely! Stop them!" Professor Mans pulled the trigger first without any hesitation!
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang-!"
The deafening sound of gunfire instantly broke the silence of the platform. Frigga tranquilizer bullets rained down on the first few Deadpools in the monster torrent, hitting them accurately. The specially made bullets exploded, releasing a high concentration of anesthetic gas instantly.
They froze and staggered to the ground, but were instantly overwhelmed by the frightened and irrational fellows rushing in from behind!
And the only one who will be affected by Frigga's bullets is Deadpool. All the sickle-weasels have been transformed into corpse guards, and the tranquilizer bullets are completely useless on them!
As the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and the size of the monster army did not decrease, everyone felt a strong sense of despair in their hearts. It was impossible for them to stop the monsters with such a small number of people.
It doesn't matter if they die. Once the defense line is breached and these monsters rush into the extensive subway network or even rush to the ground, it will be a disaster that sweeps across the entire city!
"Let's fight them to the death. This is my hometown. How can we allow these monsters to do evil!" All the commissioners of the branch executive bureau drew their cold weapons, ready to defend their hometown to the death.
Ye Sheng, who had a splitting headache, had also used up all the bullets in his Colt. Seeing that the defense line was about to be completely broken, he couldn't help but shout in his heart: "Boss, help!"
Just as he was trying to protect Shude Aki behind him and face the desperate army of the Land of the Dead, a voice that was calm to the point of laziness, but with supreme majesty, clearly penetrated the monsters' crazy howls, fierce gunshots, and humans' roars, and echoed throughout the tunnel.
The voice was not loud, but it strangely overwhelmed all the noise and was imprinted deep in everyone's soul:
"Sword coming."
Just two simple words, but they sounded like the voice of heaven.
The moment the voice fell, in the deepest part of the tunnel, an extremely bright light, as if condensed with all the light and sharpness in the world, suddenly lit up!
It appeared without any warning, so fast that it was beyond the limits of visual capture!
Like the first ray of light in the opening of the universe, and like the thunder that tears through the sky!
Wherever it passed, the space seemed to be silently cut open. Those frantically fleeing, ferocious and terrifying Deadpools and Kamaitachi, no matter if they were strong or weak, flying or running, as long as they were slightly touched by that white silk's brilliant power...
It will be completely annihilated silently in an instant!
The stunning white streak shuttled madly along the tunnel, invincible, plowing a death passage in the tide of monsters.
In just a moment, perhaps less than a second, the Deadpool and Kamaitachi torrent, which was originally as surging as a black ocean and almost completely submerged and swallowed the entire platform, were all blasted into pieces and turned into withered petals covering the ground.
Inside the tunnel, there was a dead vacuum.
Professor Mans held the revolver, his finger stiffly on the trigger, but he forgot the action.
Shude Aki maintained his shooting posture and breathed a sigh of relief. Behind him, Ye Sheng's pale face was filled with shock and the thought of how awesome his boss was. He wanted to shout to everyone that that was the new boss of the new mountain he had worshipped.
Selma opened her mouth wide, her mind went blank, and all the surviving commissioners stood there like clay sculptures or wooden carvings, unable to understand what was happening before their eyes.
Before their eyes was a completely cleansed tunnel, so empty that it was heart-wrenching.
The air was filled with ashes that slowly drifted down like snowflakes. They were the only traces of the thousands of monsters that had existed.
The stunning white light that caused all this turned gracefully half a circle in the air, turned into a flowing stream of light, and suddenly flew back and disappeared into the darkness deep in the tunnel, as if it had never appeared.
It was not until then that the voice with a hint of laughter came again from the depths of the tunnel:
"I leave quietly, just as I came quietly. I wave my sleeves and don't take away a cloud.
I'll leave the cleanup work to you all. I won't bother you anymore. I'm going back to have a midnight snack."
As the footsteps faded away, everyone at Kassel Academy remained silent, with only the heavy breathing like a bellows and the sound of hearts beating like crazy drums echoing.
Professor Mans slowly put down his gun and looked into the depths of the tunnel which had returned to dead silence. His face was filled with incredible shock and a hint of complex awe.
Is this... the true strength of the new generation's strongest dragon slayer?
It’s really... so scary.
