Chapter 439 The Last Knight of the Apocalypse! Crushing the Giant Deer-Snail! Lu Yu is the Heaven of
Chapter 439 The Last Knight of the Apocalypse! Crushing the Giant Deer-Snail! Lu Yu is the Heaven of the Border
The sound was like rolling thunder, spreading in all directions, even drowning out the howling storm in the swamp.
Exterminate...exterminate the entire clan?
Wo Yu's eyes widened in fear; her first thought was that things had been exposed.
The figures of that radiant, sun-like figure were reflected in the pupils of all the Deer Snail Clan members, their expressions filled with fear.
"Are you kidding me?"
"We've already been treated like dogs by humans, why do you still want to kill us?"
"Could it be the Faceless Brotherhood in disguise?"
"Don't panic, it's just a pet beast. Lu Yu himself hasn't even come yet. Even if he did, we should still show a giant the respect he deserves!"
"Yes, my Deer-Snail clan isn't to be trifled with!"
"..."
Thirteen cities, including Ancient Snail City, were abuzz with discussion, shocked and suspecting that this was a prank by the Faceless Brotherhood.
"Walk!"
Although many foreign merchants remained skeptical, they obediently chose to leave the city.
After all, it is thanks to this caution that they have survived to this day!
Some clever members of the Deer Snail Clan considered using mimicry tools to slightly modify their appearance. Although they couldn't match the ever-changing forms of the Faceless Brotherhood, it would be enough to muddy the waters. They planned to leave the city temporarily to avoid trouble and return later.
Click, click!
However, as soon as they left the city, they saw the world before them shrouded in endless light. Light hounds pounced, tearing apart their shells and devouring them amidst their howls.
"Roar roar roar!"
Neither water mist nor poisonous fog could deter the pack of crazed hounds; instead, they attracted even more ferocious attacks.
"stop!"
The powerful member of the Deer Snail Clan roared, and water swirled around his snail shell. Just as he was about to move, he was pinned to the ground by a lance radiating the brilliance of the sun. His powerful shell, honed over hundreds of years and comparable to a mid-level secret treasure, was pierced through like paper in an instant, and dark green blood splattered all over the ground.
The surrounding soil quickly turned into a swamp, which then swirled up in tiny eddies under the influence of the storm.
boom!
The powerful deer-snail felt its life force draining away like a flood, and decisively condensed its true words. However, the flames on its lance spread out, transforming into a towering pillar of fire that enveloped it.
"Snail!"
The king, Woyu, was furious, but the three calamities, the peacocks opposite her, stared at her indifferently. The large number of light hounds stopped biting, and the distorted light and shadow heads looked at her.
Anyone who dares to make a move will be met with a thunderous strike.
"Aaaaaaah!"
In just a moment of hesitation, the snail was consumed by its wailing cries, reduced to ashes, leaving only the painful, writhing traces of the snail on the ground.
"Do not defy the path of salvation." The Paper Knight's voice echoed through the heavens.
Everyone held their breath; the other side was serious.
Most of the younger generation of the Deer Snail Clan trembled with fear. They previously had only a vague concept of the human race, knowing only that they had been blessed by the Mother River and thus occupied half of the main world.
Human beast tamers, though eccentric, are mostly law-abiding, so let them have some courage!
I feel like I could do it too.
But now, they deeply feel the oppressive feeling of a great race that reigns supreme over royalty.
Life and death are separated by a single thought!
No wonder they were able to drive all races to the other side of the Great Abyss...
"Except for the Deer-Snail Clan, all other alien races may retreat!"
The Paper Knight frowned as he looked at the alien merchants who were frozen in place, unable to move. This made many of the alien merchants feel as if they had been granted a pardon. They thanked him and scrambled away, wishing they had more legs.
The shadow of death quickly spread throughout the entire Snail Swamp!
Witnessing the Paper Knight's provocations throughout, Wo Yu suppressed her anger and said coldly, "We, the Deer Snail Clan, have guarded the edge of the Great Abyss for the human race for decades, shedding blood and tears. Which military general has so cruelly abused our meritorious service and disrupted the overall situation? Are you forcing us to defect to the enemy? Aren't you afraid of being blamed by the Alliance?"
"Our Lord already knows, which is why he will grant you salvation, so that you may bask in His glory in the next life!" the Paper Knight said with a compassionate look in his eyes.
"Your master..." Wo Yu was stunned, exclaiming in surprise, "How is this possible!?"
Because the Paper Knight had no subject before, she always thought that the military general referred to a big figure in the border alliance, and that Lu Yu should be the deputy.
How could such an important position be given to a mere youth? Would the other powerful families accept it? Shouldn't he at least have to hone his skills for a few years and go through the motions?
Could it be that this guy is just using someone else's power to intimidate others?
The paper knight didn't say much; being kind-hearted, it hoped that the other side would die willingly and convincingly.
hum!
He then spread out the scroll of light in his hand, revealing densely packed characters that enveloped the sky above the Snail Marsh. Three different script templates appeared: one for humans, one for deer-snails, and one for the common language of all races.
It also contains the seals of military generals and alliances, each containing a corresponding spiritual imprint, connected to the vast fortune of the human race, and is essentially a special ritual.
Each signing resonates with the Human Alliance headquarters, revealing one's coordinates.
Not only is it extremely difficult to counterfeit, but using it within human territory will result in being hunted down, and it's useless outside of human territory.
Its main focus is on one specialty.
Seeing Lu Yu's signature, which was bright and clear and composed of three different languages, in the mark, Wo Yu and Wo Long were stunned.
Lu Yu is actually a high-ranking military general in the Alliance!?
And they signed the order to annihilate the country right from the start!
Snail's plan had been in preparation for decades, but it was only discovered a few days ago. It was that thing's final act of resistance that led to the accident and its discovery by human adventurers.
She destroyed all the evidence and witnesses immediately, and stripped the beast-taming space, disguising it as the work of the myriad races.
She didn't originally intend to kill the investigators later on; she wanted to mislead the other races, make them take the blame, and buy time, but they were too clever...
Although the truth was not found, the secrets hidden in this swamp were gradually discovered, leading to the deduction that the adventurers' deaths were suspicious.
So she had no choice but to swallow it whole, but she underestimated the will of these humans.
These elite human investigators endured the pain of being digested, forming an ant ball to protect their queen, actively resisting the stomach acid's digestion, and buying time for one of the investigators. By burning their life force, they used a special artifact to transmit information.
Caught off guard, she only managed to intercept a portion of the information, but she was certain that they had not discovered the real secret; they simply assumed that the Deer Snail Clan was suspected of colluding with all other races.
At this time, Lu Yu had just finished exploring the Sun Ruins and was too busy to be in two places at once. All the visitors to Woze recently were under her watchful eye, and she had not seen him or any other human powerhouses.
She breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that destiny was on the side of the Deer Snail Clan.
They were prepared to bleed heavily, either by bribing the human envoys behind them or by sacrificing some of the royal descendants in a self-inflicted injury scheme.
After all, they have always followed the rules, leaving them a lot of room for maneuver.
Once her plan succeeds, the future will be bright!
But what she didn't expect was...
Lu Yu didn't even investigate; he chose to destroy the country simply because of suspicion.
It made her feel like she wanted to vomit blood. She went through all sorts of hardships, tried to figure out human nature, and set up all sorts of traps, but the other side didn't even come. They just flipped the table.
Having lived for two thousand years, this is the first time I've encountered such an unreasonable person!
However, Wolong was still prepared to salvage the situation, so she took the initiative to ask, "Is there some kind of misunderstanding here?"
"Whether you did it or not, you know it in your heart." The paper knight interrupted her, and at the same time, the sunlight gathered and turned into an hourglass behind him, which had already run a third of the way through.
The owner said that the procedure must be followed, even if it is tedious, because it is a kind of "justice".
The paper knight didn't understand, but he was impressed and wrote it down in the Redemption Codex.
"So what if Lu Yu is a general? Where is the conscience of the alliance? Can he cover up the border with one hand?" Wolong said coldly.
"My lord is the law of heaven!" the paper knight replied politely, silencing the other party completely.
Faced with the unyielding Paper Knight, Wolong's gaze grew increasingly cold, and the situation reached a stalemate.
Susu!
As the hourglass ticked away, the atmosphere of panic in the city gradually intensified.
"This is troublesome!"
Looking at his mother confronting the paper knights, King Woyu felt that Lu Yu must be trying to establish his authority by using them, which was definitely against the rules. Otherwise, why wouldn't the allied army come?
If we go to the border alliance, we will definitely have a chance to stop this order to destroy the country!
Therefore, at her suggestion, more and more members of the Deer Snail Clan chose to break out, including the elites of the Deer Snail Clan, elders of the Radiant Moon rank, and so on.
However, they were mercilessly hunted down by the Light Hounds as soon as they left the city.
Gurgling!
Even though they had disappeared beneath the water, they were still pierced through, causing the pools to boil and bubble like boiling water. But after they shattered, dark green blood splattered out, adding to the terrifying atmosphere.
However, although the Light Hounds are fast, their numbers are limited, and they have to guard thirteen cities at the same time.
As the number of Deer-Snail Clan members fleeing increased, many powerful individuals intervened to stop the Light Hounds, and some managed to escape, successfully breaking free of the Snail Swamp's boundaries and risking their lives to cross the storm on its outer layer.
"Awoo!"
The hounds of light did not chase after them, but simply watched their retreating figures before turning back to the outskirts of the city.
"Great, we finally escaped!"
"We're going to the Border Alliance to report Lu Yu for abusing his power!"
"Lu Yu, that demon king, must pay the price!"
"..."
These powerful Deer Snails were filled with resentment, burdened with the mission of saving their race. However, just as they were about to take action, they saw rows of dark, silent Sky Eagle fighters appearing above them.
"Damn it..."
Before they could even react, they were bombarded by the [Silent Blade] type shells and instantly turned into ashes. Although the bombardment created a crater a hundred meters deep, the sound of the entire world was silenced by the interference of a special magnetic field.
Sheng Gang, piloting the Silent Skyhawk fighter jet, spoke softly through the equipment:
"The remaining fish that escaped from the northwest have been wiped out!"
After the kidnapping incident, unlike what others might expect, he did not bury his resentment in his heart; instead, he felt somewhat grateful to the kidnapper.
In particular, the Paper Knight's teachings made him realize that only by following the right people can he have a future.
Even among dogs, there's a difference between ordinary stray dogs and hounds of light.
"What is this!?"
On the east side of the Snail Marsh, the Deer Snail Clan looked terrified. Their pupils reflected the changing clouds in the sky, which formed a huge vortex. Countless clouds and mist swirled around and swallowed them up.
One after another, cloud lions descended from the clouds, their claws reaching out. On them sat a large number of human beast tamers clad in white armor, numbering a thousand, their gazes cold and sharp. The leader of the group held aloft the banner of the cloud lion legion.
North side.
One after another, the massive stone giants covered in moss rose up, shaking the earth. Standing on them were numerous figures in heavy gray armor, raising the banner of the Cangling Giants Warband.
Rock Sea Lizard Chapter...
Dragonblood Deer Legion...
Five battle groups had completely surrounded the entire Snail Marsh, and everyone was giving it their all. Even a fly passing by would be split in two.
"What a brilliant move! In this way, even if the Deer Snail Kingdom is innocent, it will be guilty!" Chen Yun couldn't help but exclaim in the Cloud Lion Legion.
With a national annihilation fund, most of the legions and aristocratic families were directly won over.
The five battle groups that made this move each invested 200 million yuan as a group, although the average amount per soldier was only a few million yuan.
The total amount is only two billion.
But not everyone is short of money... For an ordinary soldier, not counting side jobs, a year's salary is only about that much.
However, by following the new general, one can earn an extra year's salary in just three days, making it almost a guaranteed profit.
Most importantly, he made them understand that following him meant they would have good fortune, and this was just the beginning.
As for whether the Deer Snail Kingdom is guilty?
Who cares about this!
Anyone who brings this up is openly contradicting the majority and standing against them; they might even be judged by Lu Yu as a traitor to the human race.
Didn't you see that even Sheng Gang obediently invested money and dared not say a word?
"To correct you, it's the Deer Snail Kingdom that's corrupt itself. Relying on the protection of the human race, they started to harm the human race and should have paid the price long ago." Chai Jia said coldly, riding on the Cloud Sea Lion-Tiger Beast, which had just evolved and grown a pair of Cloud Tiger Wings.
This statement resonated with many people, who had all been extorted by the Deer Snail Clan and were already annoyed. Now they had a legitimate excuse to deal with these fickle people.
It's really great to have a powerful boss!
Chen Yun knew that Chai Jia had become a staunch supporter of Lu Yu, so he did not refute it, but only asked with doubt:
"But why didn't the general let us directly breach the city? Instead, he ordered us to ambush here and seal off the ley lines. A mere mid-level Deer-Snail alien is no match for our combined attack. Could it be related to the mastermind behind this?"
Chai Jia shook his head and said, "Perhaps, but the general must have his reasons. After all, how many legions would envy and be jealous of a good thing like us who only need to play support roles and can get a share of the loot?"
"Haha, that makes sense!" Chen Yun agreed wholeheartedly, instructing the others to remain vigilant, and was also very curious about what Lu Yu would do next.
Inside the swamp.
The storm, carrying miasma, swept across the land, turning into a poisonous wind.
Two-thirds of the hourglass of light has already passed.
Wolong took a deep breath and said in a hoarse voice, "I am willing to give up eighty percent of the wealth of the Deer Snail Kingdom, just for the continuation of my race!"
Although she had never met Lu Yu, she knew that he was extremely greedy and might be trying to extort treasures from her.
The only option is to bleed heavily to get through this for now, and then come back to crush this kid when we've advanced to the level of an ecosystem master.
As for why I said 80%... if I gave them all at the beginning, the other party wouldn't believe me at all. I had to leave room for negotiation.
"What are you talking about?" The Paper Knight frowned, feeling insulted, and roared, "Kill you! Everything you have originally belonged to us. Who allowed you to use my lord's things for trade? Not only have you persecuted my lord's own kind, but you are also so greedy and shameless."
How shameless!
At this moment, even Wolong was speechless, and Woyu felt even more humiliated.
I understand why my mother sought power—it was so that she would no longer be bullied!
However, the Paper Knight felt that these filthy creatures were indeed very ignorant and needed redemption, especially since it felt that it couldn't always solve problems with violence and that it would be best to persuade them.
So, taking advantage of the remaining time, the Paper Knight took out the Bible of Redemption, which turned its pages automatically in the wind, and earnestly said:
"However, my mission is to redeem the lost sheep and bring them into the glory of my Lord. Now surrender, and I will spread the holy words of my Lord to you."
Remember this knowledge carefully, it can redeem your soul. Although you are going to the underworld later, don't panic, there are people there who will recognize you.
It can open up a correct afterlife for you, so that you may obtain a wonderful life. The first thing our Lord said is, "Let there be light in the world..."
Just as the paper knight began reciting his master's words, the world darkened, a massive shadow descended, and on Snail's once handsome face, the corners of his mouth split open, revealing a gaping maw that roared:
"This is outrageous! Since that's the case, I'll capture you and take you to the Border Alliance to demand justice. Even if it means death, I'll make Lu Yu pay the price!"
Unable to bear it any longer, Wolong made her move directly. She had learned about Lu Yu's battle record. Excluding his abnormal state where he swept everything aside, his normal combat strength should be comparable to that of a mid-level giant.
And that was when all the pets attacked together!
With only the Paper Knight and the Three Calamities Peacock, we can suppress them with overwhelming force if we go all out. We don't need to turn against the human race. We can just use them to stall for time and argue with Lu Yu.
She'll drag things out until the plan is complete, then hide in the Abyss Plane, where even the entire human race can't do anything to her!
"Let's end this!"
Thoughts flashed through Wolong's mind, but in an instant, boiling water poison, miasma, and countless slimes instantly sealed off all directions, and the heavenly water transformed into a tsunami, surging in mightily.
"Mother, she's getting serious!" Wo Yu sighed. She had seen her mother use this ultimate killing move, Heavenly Water Vortex Roar, before. It had forcefully buried a giant of the same level and turned hundreds of thousands of miles of wasteland into a swamp in an instant.
The highly toxic condensed water can easily extinguish even scorching magma!
However, the Deer Snail Kingdom truly had no way out and could only take Lu Yu's pet beast hostage to threaten the other side!
The paper knight's recitation ceased, turning into a whisper, as if in sigh:
Why...?
Because you're not strong enough!
Wolong's gaze was cold, and he answered his opponent in his heart, preparing for a quick victory.
boom!
However, the next second, boundless brilliance erupted, like the sun rising into the sky.
A radiant hand forcefully pierced through the curtain of heaven and water, instantly burning both the deadly poison and the frigid water, turning them into endless rising steam.
The so-called toxins were quickly burned into nothingness in this ultimate brilliance.
Snail Dragon looked horrified. Its shell shimmered with ancient patterns, transforming into an indestructible defense that withstood the punch from the radiant giant hand.
The Shield of the Ancient Snail!
And they continued their attack.
They possess top-tier offensive and defensive capabilities!
But the next second, redemption roses fluttered and withstood the Heavenly Water Vortex, like dominoes falling. Cracks appeared on many of the roses, but they did not break.
hum!
They shone with white light, gathered together, and suddenly rebounded, striking the Ancient Snail Shield and quickly causing cracks to appear.
However, at this moment, the radiant giant hand fell again, smashing it to pieces and grabbing the snail that hadn't had time to retract into its shell. The scorching heat seared her body, causing her to let out a wail.
Within that endless steam, a colossal, ash-black shadow, hundreds of feet tall, emerged, its head adorned with a shattered halo of reddish-black light, as if illuminating the end of the world.
Whoohoo!
A storm swept through, dispersing the thick poisonous fog and revealing the Paper Knight in its Apocalypse Titan form. Beneath its cross-shaped mask, black flames burned fiercely in its eyes as it looked down at the struggling Snail in its hands.
"How is this possible!?" The latter looked incredulous, unable to believe that he had been defeated in a single exchange.
And this is just one of Lu Yu's pet beasts!
What kind of monster is this?
"Mother!" Upon seeing this, Wo Yu wanted to provide assistance, and a large number of powerful members of the Deer Snail Clan arrived together. However, they were directly enveloped by a divine light of the Three Calamities, and their bodies were sent flying backward, rolling on the ground. The three kinds of heavenly calamity power circulated within them, causing them unbearable pain.
The rest of the Deer Snail Clan members were instantly disintegrated and turned to ashes.
The Three Calamities Peacock nodded in satisfaction. It wasn't that he was bad; it was just that the monsters in the team were too strong.
"hateful!"
Unwilling to sit and wait for death, Snail Dragon secreted mucus from its body, broke free from the giant hand, and gained a brief period of freedom.
As the large hand reached out to grab it again, the surface of the antlers on its head, which resembled withered trees, suddenly began to peel away, transforming into antlers composed of flowing, dark blue water, radiating endless torrents of water.
Legendary Trait - Corner of Heavenly Water!
This is the legendary quality of the Snail's Embrace, capable of summoning vast celestial waters; every strike possesses the power of a legendary skill.
The Paper Knight's deep voice rang out:
"Wouldn't it be better to obediently listen to the Lord's proverbs and receive salvation?"
"Why... do you always force me to use violence?"
He looked at the approaching Tianshui, but did not stop him. Instead, he directly activated the Great Black Heaven Pact, forcibly connecting him and Wolong.
The moment you are attacked, the other party will also suffer the same damage.
This caused Wolong to directly withstand its own full-force attack, and its spirituality instantly dissipated.
But the moment she saw the paper knight, she completely broke down.
The radiance on the other party had been extinguished, but the Eternal Immortal Light descended, instantly restoring it to its peak state, and the Redemption Rose shone brightly once more.
Full health return + shield parry!
The snail was directly struck twice with full force, leaving it severely injured. Its shell was covered in cracks, and it could only weakly say:
"……mean……"
"This is a just trial!"
The paper knight roared, and as its rage rose, the charred ashes of the paper kingdom's armor, covered with broken patterns, gradually began to shine, as if a sun was slowly rising from within it. The scorching heat distorted the surrounding air, bursting forth beams of light that burned the mortal world.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
"Why are you disobeying!"
The paper knight grabbed the opponent's horn and slammed it into the ground repeatedly, causing the entire Snail Swamp to experience a massive earthquake for the first time. Many buildings, unable to withstand the pressure, collapsed and turned into ruins.
The deer-snail clan was thrown into pieces, staring in horror at the figure that resembled a demon god.
"Hey!"
The sight of the rat clone Peacock, the Three Calamities, gave me goosebumps. I felt that Red Hare, who was always laughing until it was out of commission, should really swap souls with the Paper Knight.
In comparison,
This guy is truly furious!
Wolong didn't know how many blows she had endured. Her whole body was in excruciating pain. Even the mucus she used to reduce the pain was constantly hardening and falling off under the high temperature, and her spirituality was further dissipating.
The excruciating pain prevented her from thinking, let alone figuring out how to escape the clutches of this Sun Knight.
However, just as her will was about to be shattered, the other party suddenly stopped. Before she could understand why, she heard the paper knight whisper:
"The time has come to redeem you lost sheep!"
Upon hearing this, Wolong's unfocused pupils shrank to pinpoints, as if he had just realized something, and he roared:
"No--"
At this moment, the hourglass of light behind the paper knight had run out.
boom!
Centered on the paper knight, countless sheets of paper spread out, flying and burning in mid-air, turning into a large amount of ashes that drifted down like a heavy rain into the ancient snail city.
Chi Chi Chi!
Before their terrified eyes, it descended swiftly; once touched, the body would rapidly decay and decay, as if ignited by an invisible flame.
It instantly turned into a statue of ashes!
They knelt down, begged for mercy, fled, and cursed, but they could not escape the fate of being covered in ashes and perishing.
In the blink of an eye, Ancient Snail City became a dead land. Apart from the fallen King Woyu outside the city, tens of thousands of Deer Snail people turned to ashes.
boom!
The vast amount of life information was devoured and recorded, continuously feeding back to this lord of billions of ashes.
Continuously improve the paper kingdom!
"Demon, you will die a horrible death..." The king, Woyu, who was still struggling, completely broke down when he saw this scene and cursed the other party frantically.
As a powerful figure, Wolong stared coldly at him, her voice hoarse as she said, "I will make you pay!"
The paper knight remained silent, for his master's command was paramount.
Since the other party dared to kill humans and anger its master, then it will become the price for the other party!
That's fair!
The Paper Knight seized Snail Dragon, and the ashes transformed into its steed, leading it towards the second city, Vortex City.
It gathers eddies born from the influence of countless storms, and at one time it even became one of the wonders of the border.
However, at this moment,
Ashes swept through, rapidly eroding the lives of the deer-snail race, turning this colorful world black and white, returning it to its original desolation.
Then came the third city, Deer Antler City...
The fourth one...
hum!
At the same time, pure white roses of redemption bloomed from the void, surrounding it and shining brightly, making it appear incomparably sacred.
At this moment, the paper knight is like a knight of revelation carrying God's will!
Wherever it goes, it bestows an end upon all things!
