Chapter 2: New Century (Epilogue)

Chapter 806: Capturing the King

“Boom, boom, boom—”

Xi Wei’s charge was like a steel chariot. His armor was extremely heavy, and every step he took on the ground left a deep footprint, splashing red scorched earth. Even though he was alone, he charged with the momentum of a thousand troops.

Winter also swept through the area north of Kairide. This was close to the Northern Territory, and the cold wind was even more biting. The gale blowing in his face was like a knife scratching his skin, carrying the foul, bloody smell of the ghouls. If he hadn’t had the tough skin of a Red Dragon Bloodline and the protection of his helmet, his handsome face might have been scraped open.

The ghoul legion was getting closer and closer, with no end in sight to the left or right. It could only be described as endless, but Xi Wei was not the least bit panicked. Since becoming the Lord of Eagle Territory, he had experienced countless battles. Enemies of this scale could no longer stir a ripple in his heart. He dragged the King of Conquest Long Sword, and its blade scraped sparks along the ground. His fighting spirit was at its peak, his Qi burning like flames on his body.

“Roar—”

Suddenly, a roar echoed. It didn’t come from the ghoul legion opposite him. It came from the depths of his soul. It was the Lion God—Tu’ergas.

Under Xi Wei’s astonished gaze, he felt a portion of his Qi being drawn away, eventually transforming into a giant flame lion over ten meters long that appeared beneath him, lifting him up. The lion had golden fur and its limbs pawed at pale holy flames in mid-air. Its body was composed of Qi flames, and countless golden stars seemed to flow within it. Black Death Divinity etched mysterious patterns onto its body.

“Tu’ergas?!” Xi Wei was stunned. He subconsciously grabbed the thick mane around the Lion God’s neck.

“Master, I felt the surge of Qi and Divinity within you. My originally Gloomy Divinity has been completely activated, so I came out to lend you a hand!” the Lion God’s low voice rumbled from beneath him.

Xi Wei understood. Tu’ergas originally had no divine body, and the Divinity in his Godhead was like stagnant water. Furthermore, it had been mostly depleted by Sotan Tric, making it impossible to mobilize. But now, his own Divinity had acted as bait. This was a good thing. Tu’ergas now emitted fluctuations at the peak of Legendary-grade. This would give him more confidence in dealing with the ghoul leader and any trump cards the Old Ones might be hiding.

“Good, then let’s charge together!” Riding the golden lion, Xi Wei felt a surge of heroism. The King of Conquest Long Sword pointed forward, his icy gaze fixed on the surging tide of ghouls, a wild smile gracing his lips. The ghouls’ claws and fangs were already within reach. He could only help the garrison on the city walls by blocking one wave of the ghoul legion. But this should be enough.

“Come on—!” The king’s roar echoed through the heavens like thunder. On the city walls, the garrison fighting bravely couldn’t help but look into the distance. Those walls of flesh and blood, each over ten meters tall, were now converging layer by layer towards the charging golden meteor. Behind them was the pale ghoul tide, and the golden meteor seemed incredibly small compared to this grand wave. Could it really break through? This question arose in everyone’s hearts. But Xi Wei had no doubts. Only unyielding advance. Old Ones’ Retainers? Mere ants!

*Clang—* The golden lion collided violently with the ghoul tide, and the walls of flesh and blood were torn to shreds by the crisscrossing Qi. The King of Conquest Long Sword swept left and right, lightning and flames following the charging figure. Over a dozen ghouls were hit as if by a speeding train, their bodies shattering into several pieces and flying into the sky like tattered cloth bags, scattering like a heavenly rain, pieces splattering everywhere. Xi Wei’s charge was like a sharp drill, ferociously boring into the ghoul formation.

He was a scorching hot iron, melting all enemies he encountered with his searing Qi. He was the brilliant sun, a silent hell. With a sweep of Death Divinity, everything around him turned to ash. Under the charge of the Lion God Tu’ergas, Xi Wei’s breakthrough ability had almost doubled. The King of Conquest Long Sword madly reaped the ghouls around him, its blade emitting a shrill roar as it cut through the air. Once a ghoul approached, it would first be paralyzed by the lightning released from the sword, then ignited by the holy flames and Qi. If it survived these, the sharp blade would smash it into pieces. The skies on both sides were filled with ghouls tossed aside by Xi Wei’s sweeping strikes. They drew elegant arcs in the air; some were burned to ashes by the holy flames, dispersing with the wind, while others were struck by lightning and exploded into countless pieces of flesh, raining down. In the face of absolute power, Xi Wei created a vacuum zone within a five-meter radius around him with the King of Conquest Long Sword. No ghoul or tentacle from the walls of flesh and blood could break through this defense line.

Charge, charge! The ghoul leader was ahead. Xi Wei could clearly see its face, half-hidden behind the walls of flesh and blood.

“Roar!” The monster let out a threatening cry at the knight.

“Kill—!” The king’s eyes blazed, and he responded with a fierce roar. The Lion God tilted its head and leaped forward, its massive claws tearing left and right. The last wall of flesh and blood blocking the King of Conquest shattered, and the ghoul leader’s body was fully revealed. Xi Wei leaped off the Lion God, sword in hand, and slashed down at the ghoul leader.

“Boom—” The sword struck the ground. A circular shockwave instantly sent all the ghouls within a kilometer radius flying, creating a vacuum zone. The closer to the center, the more brutal it was. Corpses littered the ground under the King of Conquest, and blood flowed like a river. The scorching Qi evaporated the blood, forming a crimson mist that drifted behind him. The ghoul leader dodged this blow. It moved extremely fast and had already reached a low slope a kilometer away. It landed on all fours, its forehead covered in densely packed eyeballs, their pupils shifting back and forth before finally locking onto the knight. Its lower jaw suddenly split into four sections—

“Ao!” A strange sound wave stirred up a black gust of wind and rushed towards the knight. Xi Wei planted his sword in the ground. Holy light enveloped him, and angel wings gathered in front of him, forming a shield that completely blocked the strange sound wave. He closed his eyes, shutting out his five senses, yet everything on the battlefield was still presented in his mind. Look with your heart. The path of death will become ever clearer.

The next moment, he moved. With this movement, the ground cracked, and dust and stones flew. The wind pressure created by his charge caused the surrounding ground to sink, forming jagged spikes. Any ghoul hit by the gale had its body dismembered, while those hit head-on instantly exploded into fragments. Simultaneously, the ghoul leader stomped on the ground, charging like lightning, its cavernous mouth opening wide as it lunged at the knight. Its massive body moved with a majestic aura, and the surrounding ghouls and walls of flesh and blood converged towards it, making its body grow larger and its charge faster. But for Xi Wei, the ghoul leader’s speed was still too slow.

The two figures passed each other. The King of Conquest Long Sword cut through the air, leaving several golden streaks of light. Xi Wei stopped and sheathed his sword. Behind him—the ghoul leader staggered a few steps, its body cut by several black lines of death. It eventually split into several pieces and fell to the ground. At this moment, the King of Conquest faced the direction of the city walls. He heard thunderous cheers from over there. But the king’s expression was solemn, because the resurrection of the ghouls had not stopped with the death of the ghoul leader.
