Chapter 205 Cleared

Ji Xun felt that since Jia Yu was the only one who could see through the flaw in the field of gravity before, he would definitely not know that he could not bear the sacred flame of royal power and risk his life rashly.

 So, the unusual behavior of this mushroom head just now must have some deep meaning.

But Ji Xun didn't think about whether Jia Yu was dead or not.

 The higher the rank, the weirder the extraordinary means.

Chu Jiu, who has a body of elements, the Bai Wei whom he met before, and the old Duan who is proficient in the secrets of the dead in front of him

 To some extent, they all have the ability to be immortal.

Even if Ji Xun himself is blessed by the "Immortality Curse", it will be difficult for him to die.

What he was wondering now was, what was Jia Yu's motive for committing suicide?

But before he could figure it out, Chujiu had already rushed towards the Holy Grail.

If there were no accidents, she would be like Jia Yu before. The moment she touched the Holy Grail, she would be attacked by the fourth-order S-level disaster that appeared out of thin air.

Even if she is so strong, there is a high probability that she will be hit as hard as before.

Seeing this, Ji Xun didn't hesitate at all. He kicked the ground with his feet and rushed over.

 Because his intuition told him that he wanted to help.

 "Pa", "Pa", "Pa".

Ji Xun stepped out and made explosive sounds in the air one after another.

Almost the moment Chujiu touched the Holy Grail, layers of strange gravitational threads appeared on the ground nearby.

 But because of his decisive action, Ji Xun also arrived and took a breath of cold air at the same time: "His, the gravity of the fourth level S disaster is so strong!"

Falling into the realm, he instantly felt that his body was as heavy as lead and he sank suddenly.

 No wonder you can’t avoid it on the ninth day of the lunar month.

The current intensity of gravity is several times greater than the pressure Ji Xun endured when he risked his life to get the Holy Grail.

If he hadn't just touched the threshold of the magical and mysterious art of "inducing the gods to fall", he could be exempted from most of the gravitational pull.

This time, I'm afraid his body will break apart on the spot.

Before he had time to think about anything, Ji Xun, who appeared on Chujiu's back, had already drawn out his useless sword and used it as a shield across his chest.

 He has identified the direction of gravity and predicted the location where the monster will appear.

 Sure enough!

At the same time he was blocking, the sharp spear lingering in the black flames had already stabbed towards him like lightning.

　　　　　　

Although the spear pierced the sword body, the strange penetrating power like [Level 2 Collapse] penetrated the whole body.

The sword made a sharp "buzzing" sound, as if the soul was about to be shaken out of the body.

Ji Xun felt as if his hands holding the big sword had been electrocuted, and he almost let go.

He didn't dare to resist, and the muscles under his feet suddenly exploded with strength. He flew upside down and used the force to remove the terrifying force that went straight to his internal organs.

With a "dong" sound, Ji Xun hit the rock wall firmly.

 However, just because he stood up to block the spear, Chujiu also successfully got the Holy Grail in his hand.

 This is the second time she has obtained the Holy Grail, and this time it is obviously different.

 The moment she touched it, the Holy Grail actually lit up with light.

But it's not the burning flames like before, it's more like the gentle light of a night pearl.

 It seems to indicate that this sacred object recognizes the identity of the holder?

Ji Xun saw this. Although he was confused about what the change was, he also breathed a sigh of relief.

　　When he saw this old friend appearing in this extra-dimensional space, he guessed that the Holy Grail might have some important meaning to her.

　　Seems to be a sure thing to win.

However, Chujiu frowned slightly while holding the Holy Grail, as if he felt that something was missing.

Ji Xun also saw it.

 Because I didn’t see the message from Enlightenment prompting the barrier to be broken.

 In other words, they did not fully achieve their mission.

 Prince Sarn saw the Holy Grail in Chujiu's hand shimmering, and his expression changed suddenly.

 Obviously this key plot character is responsible for knowing what the vision means.

His eyes were instantly filled with anger, and he charged forward with a golden sword in hand.

At the same time, the fourth-level Hell Knight also launched a second attack.

 At the moment, this [Sismark Holy Grail] is like a bomb in your hand, and it is fatal to anyone who takes it.

 But Chujiu had no intention of letting go.

The spell power was surging in her body, and she looked like she was going to fight head-on.

 “What on earth is she going to do?”

Ji Xun looked at his pupils and narrowed them.

 Still not understand the meaning of holding the Holy Grail.

 But seeing that his old friend was about to be besieged, he did not hesitate and rushed forward again.

Although his rank is the lowest in this Tomb of Heroes, he can still be restrained.

The two of them didn't say a word, but in perfect agreement, they appeared in the other direction of the battlefield in the mausoleum almost at the same time.

Here, the fire dragon transformed by Red Dragon Yuri is having a lively fight with a disaster clone.

This demonic viscount may have been the strongest in the mausoleum this time in terms of individual strength.

 After transforming into the body of a giant dragon, almost no one can kill him.

However, at this moment, it has been tortured unspeakably by the gravitational field of the Hell Knight.

Like being stuck in a quagmire, unable to struggle.

 At this moment the worse scene comes.

Holding the Holy Grail, Chujiu rushed towards it, and in a blink of an eye, he appeared on the back of the giant dragon.

Red Dragon Yuri suddenly felt bad.

 It understands what this human being is trying to do.

 But at this moment, we are also in a dilemma.

If it transforms into a human form, it will no longer be able to withstand the terrifying gravity.

 But if it doesn't transform, its huge body with a wingspan of nearly a hundred meters is the best target to attract firepower.

There is no time for hesitation at all in a battle of this level.

Just as he thought, Yuri the Red Dragon found that his back felt cold for a moment, and then it turned into a heartbreaking burning pain.

Looking closely, Chujiu was holding the Holy Grail and touching the demon's back.

 It is not easy to break through its dragon scales by normal means, but the high royal power law on the Holy Grail is the best way to break through the defense.

　　　　　　

The red dragon let out a sad roar.

Even it couldn't withstand the burning of the holy flame of royal power, and a large piece of its back was burned out in an instant.

 The worst thing is that it is not facing an opponent.

 Chujiu's hand was like a knife on his back, and the magic power all over his body instantly became chaotic.

The **** knight in front was also holding a spear, and one shot pierced the red dragon's neck.

Ji Xun also grinned when he saw this, and guessed in his heart: "It seems that to get the recognition of the hero's will, it is necessary to hunt high-level demons?"

From the moment he saw Chu Jiu get the Holy Grail and disappear, he also guessed that his old friend would kill the red dragon first.

 The situation is now basically clear.

 Whether it is related to the task or not, dealing with these unexpected factors first is definitely the most correct choice.

Prince Nasane originally wanted to **** the Holy Grail, but seeing that Chujiu wanted to kill the red dragon Yuri, he hesitated.

 Obviously he wants to sit back and wait for both sides to lose.

Ji Xun saw this clearly and ignored the guy.

What he has to do now is to block Chujiu from the **** knight who is chasing her.

 “Keng!”

 The sword was hit by the knight's spear again, and Ji Xun flew backwards.

However, this also bought critical time for Chujiu.

The red dragon's sad roar was like a mountain torrent in the sealed underground palace, shaking the eardrums.

 But he is also getting weaker.

The Holy Flame of Royal Power on the Holy Grail broke through the dragon scale defense, and Chujiu's forbidden magic of the devil was not a vegetarian either.

The terrifying cold air poured directly into the dragon's body, and the real damage was directly maxed out.

Yuri's hellfire became lighter and lighter, and frost covered the weak points such as the dragon's wings and tail in an instant.

 And not just Chujiu, it also has to face the Hell Knight.

 Under multiple attacks, the red dragon was just a trapped beast still fighting, getting weaker and weaker.

The ice power of Chujiu can freeze the target's mental power, and the dragon's body is controlled by the gravitational field. Yuri is like flesh and blood on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered.

finally.

After Ji Xun was knocked out for the fourth time, Chujiu didn't know what spell he used, and the red dragon's body completely turned into an ice sculpture.

At the same time, enlightenment also occurs.

“Kill the fourth-level A-level disaster ‘Red Dragon Yuri’, battle merit +2000;”

 Although Ji Xun did not cause direct harm to Yuri, he was considered a help and received two thousand battle merits.

This combat merit is a bit lacking for killing a disaster of this magnitude, but it is already ideal.

 What’s more, the rewards obtained for completing plot tasks are the highlight.

 At this point, several demons have been killed.

The second piece of enlightenment also appeared immediately: "Complete the A+ opportunity plot, combat merit +20,000, additional plot exploration +20%, opportunity treasure chest +1"

 Same plot as last time.

  Killed the key BOSS of the opportunity plot, and a treasure chest also appeared on the corpse.

But this is not the time to check.

 At the same time, the rich extraordinary characteristics of the red dragon's corpse overflowed.

Ji Xun also devoured it from the air.

Once Yuri died, Ji Xun and Chujiu finally looked at each other.

 No words were said, but the two of them understood each other instantly.

 In an extra-dimensional space, the most difficult thing is never the plot characters, but the adventurers.

There is still an enemy alive here.

 That is the hunchbacked old man in the ghost infant state.

At this moment, the backbone of the Silver Moon Sect is struggling with his own Hell Knight, complaining endlessly.

 S level monsters cannot be killed and they get stronger the more they are beaten.

At a glance from the corner of his eye, he saw Chujiu rushing over with the Holy Grail, which was glowing white like a torch. Old Duan's face suddenly changed with fright.

Although he has the means to resist the monster, he will not die for a while.

But he had just suffered from the Holy Grail, so he didn't dare to touch it.

 He is also very self-aware and knows that there is absolutely no way he can survive under the combined forces of Chujiu and Hell Knight.

At the moment he was about to follow in the footsteps of Yuri the Red Dragon. Lao Duan had already prepared a mouthful of blood, chanted a spell, and the six-pointed star magic circle under his feet lit up, and a treasure box appeared through his channel?

Before Ji Xun could understand, the treasure box suddenly opened, revealing densely packed serrated fangs and wriggling eyes.

 Look at this form, it turns out to be a living thing?

 The legendary flesh-eating [mimic monster of the abyss]?

Lao Duan Ma Liu jumped into the mouth of the Mimic Monster.

 The box closed with a click.

  The magic circle of the necromancer just disappeared, and the treasure chest also disappeared.

Ji Xun was amazed when he saw this scene.

 The idea of ​​​​escape using reverse necromancy is quite novel.

 Lao Duan, a gravedigger, always has some weird things in his hands.

But at this time, the crisis is far from over!

 At the same time that Lao Duan was forced to escape, a sword energy suddenly struck Chujiu.

 Prince Sarn, who was dressed in golden armor, turned into a series of afterimages, coming with murderous intent.

 Now that there is no trash fish, the prince also takes action. He is protected by the soul of his ancestors and will not be attacked by Hell Knights, nor is he affected by the laws of the Holy Grail.

Once Red Dragon Yuri died, his fourth-level strength was already the strongest in this underground palace!

What he wants to do now is to kill these two people in front of him.

Ji Xun and Chujiu never had any luck that this fifth prince could allow them to leave with the Holy Grail.

 The two sides fought fiercely in the underground palace.

The most stressful period is the ninth day of the Lunar New Year.

She has to carry a fourth-level Hell Knight by herself, and she also has to carry the same fourth-level Prince Sarn.

Originally, as long as she lost the Holy Grail, she would at least avoid facing the strongest S disaster.

 Ke Ji Xun knew exactly why she didn't give up.

 Because from the current point of view, Space Will is also somewhat "resistant" to them getting the [Sismark Holy Grail] in this low-level dungeon, a treasure that will definitely require a follow-up ultra-high difficulty decisive battle to get it.

 So, it is very likely that once the key plot character, Prince Sarn, obtains the Holy Grail, the plot of "The Battle of Ironforge" will be forcibly ended.

Although Ji Xun and the others can escape from the extradimensional space alive.

 But the Holy Grail was not obtained and the success fell short.

 So even if you understand this.

This risk must also be resisted.

 And the Holy Grail can only be held on the ninth day of the lunar month.

As long as the season changes, you will be eliminated every minute.

What he can do now is rely on the secret of gravity he has learned to help occasionally contain Disaster or Sarn.

 But if we continue fighting like this, we won’t see any results.

Chujiu was already a big step away from him, so the chance of killing the top-level fourth-level Prince Sarn was slim.

 Not to mention there is an S-class disaster.

But within just a few meetings, the situation became very critical.

　　Although Ji Xun and Catalina teamed up to bet half their lives to defeat Lieutenant Colonel Burton who had passed the fourth level.

  But they are both at the fourth level, and their combat power is also very different.

 In comparison, the two peak fourth-level enemies in front of us were at least several times stronger.

Just to help contain this moment, Ji Xun was hit hard and sent flying.

 The injuries caused by suppressing two large-level enemies were also fatal every time.

 Once the thigh was cut in half, once the abdomen was cut in half crosswise, and once a spear penetrated the chest

 It's a good thing that he has the secret method of healing, otherwise he would have died suddenly many times.

 And Chujiu himself was in very bad shape.

 She was unable to resist the gravitational force of the God's Fall, and could only resist the suppression of two fourth-level gravitational secret arts, which limited her in every aspect.

Moreover, once Ji Xun was seriously injured, not only did her pressure increase dramatically, but she also had to help cover him up, and she was also seriously injured several times.

 The situation is getting worse.

Looking at the posture, if the two of them continue to waste their lives like this, they will end up dead sooner or later.

 Or throw away the Holy Grail and give up this space.

 “咚~”

 Once again, Ji Xun flew out upside down, spitting out a mouthful of old blood.

His expression became more and more solemn, and he was thinking quickly: "That's weird, where is the breaking point?"

 Neither of them wants to win the battle, but to delay it.

 Instinct told Ji Xun that even if they killed Prince Sarn, they still couldn't solve any problem.

On the contrary, it will seal the only chance of survival out of space, and in the end, you will have to fight the Hell Knight to the end.

 If you want to get the Holy Grail, it is absolutely impossible to rely solely on force.

Ji Xun never thought of giving up.

 The purpose of my visit this time has been achieved. After drinking the holy water, my life span has been restored.

 But Chujiu was obviously here for the Holy Grail this time.

 For her to risk her life, this Holy Grail must be very important to her.

 The news of their outing this time has been leaked, and there is probably no next chance.

 It is absolutely impossible for Ji Xun not to help.

 All the clues that kept running through his mind.

 Tombstone, chalice, bones, statue, realm.

 Martial power, inheritance, royal power, heroic fate.

 These conditions should theoretically be met.

Ji Xun really couldn’t figure out what was missing.

 The biggest uncertainty is the "princess's bones".

 Since Sarn can survive on it and even take the Holy Grail, this must be a key clue.

 But what does this mean?

Ji Xun couldn't understand it himself.

 An image came to his mind repeatedly.

That was Jia Yu’s inexplicable death behavior before!

The mushroom-headed corpse is still lying on the ground, seeming to be saying something silently.

While fighting, Ji Xun carefully recalled the scene where Jia Yu sent himself to death, and kept thinking in his mind: "That guy Jia Yu must have seen something, otherwise he wouldn't have sent himself to death. But what exactly is this? Are you trying to hint me to what to do?”

 But it seems that there is always a little lack of inspiration.

 He still couldn't figure it out.

Unconsciously, not far away, Chujiu was hit hard by the Hell Knight again, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

 This old friend of mine does not have the ability to heal injuries.

 If you continue to fight, you will really die.

Ji Xun frowned as he looked at it.

 Although he could take his own life and death very lightly, he definitely didn't want to watch his friends die in front of his eyes.

However, this thought came to mind, as if a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind.

 Let’s take another look at Jia Yu’s behavior.

Ji Xun suddenly realized it!

die!

Didn’t that guy want to say just two words: sacrifice his life?

Ji Xun finally understood what Jia Yu wanted to express.

This guy's behavior has made it very obvious: he is willing to die to give his teammates clues to break the situation!

 A moment.

  It seems that the most critical piece of the puzzle has been found.

 The clues in Ji Xun's mind were completely connected in an instant.

 The most important clue is still in the contents of the tombstone!

Although I don’t know what happened in the Second Holy Grail War a hundred years ago.

 But the hero Galen’s achievements definitely qualified him to drink holy water and recover from his injuries.

 But the fact is, he is dead!

Ji Xun remembered that Jia Yu had mentioned this issue at that time.

　Judging from the unwilling words on the tombstone, there is only one possibility.

 That means the hero Galen gave the holy water to another person!

 So, he died.

 Other people live.

 The other person is most likely the "Princess Teresa" who has turned into a corpse!

At this moment, Ji Xun can even restore the conspiracy story from a hundred years ago in his mind: the hero Galen defeated the Demon King and obtained the Holy Grail, but was also seriously injured; originally he could drink the holy water to recover, but his achievements shocked the master and made the higher-ups fear him. Or perhaps he discovered some filth among the royal family’s senior officials; what’s even more coincidental is that his lover, the princess, was also seriously injured; the hero Galen gave the holy water to his lover; the princess realized it later and chose to be buried here.

This is also why there is a sentence on the tombstone: "In the name of God, killing a lot, ridiculous royal power."

 The story no longer matters.

The remaining will of the hero Galen guards the Holy Grail, just to filter out those who get the Holy Grail.

 A person who can learn his secret inheritance and has a spirit of sacrifice!

Ji Xun's eyes narrowed, and he understood, and shouted in his heart: "The meaning of 'Princess Corpse' is this! The legendary hero who wanted to get the Holy Grail had to sacrifice it for others, for righteousness, for love, and for friendship. The quality of life!”

 He finally understood!

The message Jia Yu wants to convey is this.

  But it cannot be said clearly.

 That's why Mushroom Head used the almost unbelievable behavior of sending someone to death to convey this method of breaking the situation.

Chūjiu might have guessed it, but she couldn’t tell.

Even though she spoke, Ji Xun would not refuse to give her life a try as a friend who was in danger of life and death.

 But in this way, it is like a friendship tie, or an exchange of interests after weighing the pros and cons because you want to get out alive.

This kind of subjective behavior of letting people die is impure.

 It is very likely that the breaking conditions will not be triggered.

 So, Ji Xun can only have this "enlightenment" himself!

 “Haha, that’s it.”

Ji Xun thought of this, and suddenly a wanton laugh appeared on his face.

 If it were anyone else, he would definitely hesitate to die for others.

 But Ji Xun can’t!

 And Ji Xun knew that he was the only one to be the victim.

 Because, he is the only one who has learned the secret method of "inducing the gods to fall".

Perhaps Jia Yu can do it and has thought of this a long time ago, but he can't!

Even if he really can't die, he still understands the secret method.

But Jia Yu had no pure thought of giving his life for Chujiu or Ji Xun.

 No, maybe he has already tried it.

 The body is still on the ground.

 It has been proven that it does not work.

 Only Ji Xun and Chujiu, two people who have been friends in life and death, can meet this condition for each other.

 Must learn the secret method and have the spirit of sacrifice

This is this extra-dimensional space. In the intermediate-difficulty extra-dimensional space of "Battle of Ironforge", there is only a slight chance for adventurers to get the Holy Grail!

 “Hehe. It’s really harsh.”

Thinking of this, Ji Xun and Chujiu looked at each other and rushed over without hesitation.

Even with eye contact, Chujiu understood that he understood.

Ji Xun responded with a bright smile.

 There was never any hesitation.

 He saw the indescribable tacit understanding in this old friend's eyes.

If there is any friend in this world who is worthy of Ji Xun dying for her, then Chujiu is definitely one of them.

Similarly, Chujiu will not hesitate.

 Both sides are well aware of this.

Ji Xun rushed forward and stood in front of Chujiu.

It just so happened that Prince Sarn slashed him with one sword.

This sword is very vicious.

 Chop from the head to the tailbone.

split into two.

This kind of injury cannot be cured even by the "immortality curse".

Ji Xun used the same method that Jia Yu used to nearly die before to test one of their conjectures.

 If the bet is right, you can live.

 If the bet is wrong, die.

Ji Xun grinned.

Even at the last moment when he was cut into two pieces by the sword energy, he still had a smile on his face.

 It doesn’t matter what form it takes, but he must be willing to die for others.

His vision went dark, and Ji Xun once again felt the feeling of death coming.

Um.

 It feels so good.

Ji Xun’s soul thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful experience.

 Very rare.

But this feeling only lasted for a moment.

Enlightenment has already emerged: "Congratulations on gaining the recognition of the hero Galen's will. Obtained."

Ji Xun knows and has passed the level.
