The Players and the Protagonist Want to Kill Me – Chapter 439

Chapter 2: New Century (Epilogue)

Chapter 230: Flipping the Table

Perhaps this thing looked disgusting but actually tasted amazing?

The moment this thought arose, it firmly took root in King Medon’s mind, refusing to leave.

He swallowed, then looked at King Karari opposite him, only to find that the latter had already picked up a piece of “Charcoal-Grilled Black Dragon” (chocolate-shelled biscuit) and was eating it with a satisfying crunch. He could tell from the expression on Karari King’s face that the taste was genuinely delicious.

“One bite of the Charcoal-Grilled Black Dragon, and then a slurp of the Surfing White Strips,” he mused.

“Perhaps these parasitic worms are not what I thought they were.”

“It must be a special product of Karari. After all, Karari is a place with bizarre plants like the Parasitic Tree, so it’s not inconceivable to have some strange but delicious insects.”

He had been living rough and traveling along the way. He was indeed hungry and had eaten roasted meat for too long. He was tired of the same taste and wanted a change. It was rare for a mage to travel so far.

“Why not give it a try?”

King Medon picked up his fork, his hand trembling as he speared a few “Surfing White Strips.” These “white strips” were pale white, seemingly without any seasoning, but they appeared to have been chilled.

He knew this kind of preparation.

In his own kingdom of Medon, many citizens ate raw sea fish chilled, and it tasted exceptionally delicious.

“Perhaps these Surfing White Strips are meant to be eaten this way?”

Although the smell was peculiar, with a faint fishy odor, King Medon suppressed his disgust and slurped a “Surfing White Strip” into his mouth.

“Boom!” Something exploded on his taste buds.

The fishy smell stimulated King Medon’s brain. Especially since the thing in his mouth was slippery, a sour and salty taste echoed in his mouth, much like eating a piece of fermented, rotten oyster.

“Gag!”

King Medon couldn’t take it.

He vomited up his leftover meal.

Looking at the vomit on the ground, his visual and olfactory nerves reacted in a chain, stimulating his vagus nerve again. King Medon held onto his chair and continued to retch until his stomach cramped before he finally recovered.

As a mage, elegance was important.

King Medon used Fire Elemental to evaporate the vomit on the ground. At the same time, he immediately used a purification spell to clean his mouth, nasal cavity, and body, finally feeling refreshed.

But the mental blow was irremovable.

“You… Your Karari people eat these filthy things? And you eat them so deliciously? Are you crazy?”

King Medon pointed at King Karari and roared angrily. Suddenly, a gust of breeze blew past, and he sniffed a scent of cocoa powder.

Immediately, his gaze locked onto King Karari’s hands.

That so-called Charcoal-Grilled Black Dragon.

“The Charcoal-Grilled Black Dragon is made of chocolate?”

King Medon was stunned. With suspicion, he brought the “Charcoal-Grilled Black Dragon” in front of him closer.

He picked up a piece of the black dragon.

He gently snapped it.

Immediately, a plate full of various green and yellow insect innards spilled out.

“It’s not chocolate at all!”

“Then what is that King Karari is holding?”

Although King Medon was advanced in age and his reaction was a bit slow, he was not a fool.

He used Mage Hand to pull over the “Surfing White Strips” near King Karari.

Upon closer inspection, he discovered that they were not parasitic worms at all, but tender noodles.

“You tricked me?!”

A surge of anger rushed to his head. King Medon roared and slammed the bowl in his hand onto the table. His entire body’s Magic Power surged, and the immense airflow directly overturned the table.

“Clang!” A sword hummed.

The round table split in two.

Various strange and disgusting ingredients scattered across the floor, but not a single one touched King Karari.

He stood there, holding his Greatsword, like a formidable wall.

An aura of earth-shattering destruction emanated from him. Where was the frail, old appearance from before?

This set off alarm bells in King Medon’s heart.

“Alas, if you don’t want to eat it, you don’t have to. But if you don’t like it and then flip the table, that’s not good. All these ingredients on the ground are precious items I took from the national treasury…”

King Karari’s voice grew colder.

“Your Excellency’s actions are slapping my face, showing that you don’t regard me, this Karari, as worthy. If that’s the case, then killing you and annexing your country should pose no problem, right?”

King Medon had not expected King Karari to be so shameless. In their previous correspondence, he had seemed like a gentleman, but now, after their meeting, he had become like this?

Indeed, one knows a person’s face but not their heart.

All the emotions invested before meeting were like reflections in water, a fleeting moment.

Since the mask had been torn off.

King Medon decided not to pretend anymore.

He took out his Frost-Withered Branch Staff, assumed an offensive stance, and said grimly:

“With your small army, you think you can conquer Medon?”

“Your Excellency Guste, you seem to not put my mage kingdom in your eyes, not to mention the Elves eyeing the Emerald Frontier…”

“Are you sure you want to engage in infighting here?”

“I indeed cannot conquer your Medon, but the King of Winter can.”

“What do you mean?”

King Medon suddenly felt that King Karari’s expression was somewhat off.

He seemed to be becoming increasingly unfamiliar.

And during their previous correspondence, he was clearly not skilled at using a greatsword.

However…

“Guess what I mean?”

Xi Wei gave a cold laugh, took a step forward with the King of Conquest Greatsword in hand, and a furious blast of air blew away the surrounding obstacles. The ground trembled violently, and a brilliant sword light slammed down towards King Medon.

“You are not King Karari!”

King Medon raised a Frost Elemental Shield with his left hand.

With his right hand, he condensed a giant ice spear to meet the incoming sword light.

At the same time, he continued to cast.

A prison made of ice gradually formed around “King Karari.”

Xi Wei did not reply.

King Medon was a powerful opponent of his level, unlike that old man whose body had been depleted by the Parasitic Tree Fruit. This battle required focus.

He dodged the incoming frost spear with a sidestep, closing the distance with King Medon. However, his feet suddenly slipped on a path of frost that had formed, and King Medon himself levitated into the mid-air.

“Frost Prison!”

King Medon raised both hands, and the figure of a Frost Titan seemed to faintly appear behind him.

His ice-cold eyes alone made one feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

The Frost Titan pressed down fiercely, and the surrounding air temperature instantly dropped by tens of degrees.

Everything was covered in a layer of white frost.

The glazed porcelain shattered in the low temperature.

A cage of ice enveloped Xi Wei, trapping him. Seizing this opportunity, King Medon created distance between himself and Xi Wei once more.

“No matter who you are, freeze to death in my Frost Prison.”

A sinister smile spread across King Medon’s lips.

In his calculations, the opponent would be trapped for at least half a minute, which was enough time for him to prepare a devastating move to kill the opponent.

However, in the next moment, two sword lights flashed. A golden lion roared and shattered the ice prison.

“King Karari’s” figure burst out from the ice mist, with the golden lion phantom closely following, lunging forward with immense power.

Thanks to sliding on the ice,

His speed had actually increased a bit.

“A joke, you think a few pieces of ice can trap me?”

“Also, thank you for laying down the ice for me!”

Kekeke.

I’m feeling very fast today.

Electric discharge.
