Chapter 3820 A Brilliant Rainbow (3) — The opponent activated a magic card...
"We can't hold out any longer... Let's evacuate this street and wait for reinforcements!"
Boom——!
The long street was suffering horrific destruction, with large numbers of people lying on the ground, either trampled or victims of a terrorist attack.
Several wounded, zombie-like "non-human" beings are wreaking havoc... A volunteer patrol team is currently dealing with them.
"Damn it...where did these guys come from? Don't they feel pain? Don't they have any feelings?"
When the switch to pain and fear was turned off, the enemy seemed like an immortal monster... The patrol members began to fight and retreat.
Everyone says that a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan isn't worth risking your life... but these are volunteers who don't even have a monthly salary.
On the street corner where they were about to leave, in an alley, Tina was holding a child and nervously covering the child's mouth.
The child couldn't understand Tina's language, but he keenly sensed the meaning in the older girl's eyes and tried his best not to make a sound.
But heavy footsteps were approaching.
It was a "giant" who was at least 2.5 meters tall, with half of his head blown off and the wound already scabbed over... The "giant's" skin was covered with pyrite-like crystals, suggesting that he was a "mutant".
It's about to find this place.
Tina listened silently to the sounds, while adjusting her breathing. Slowly, jagged, light blue tattoos appeared on both sides of her cheeks.
"Hold on to me!"
After the enhancement was complete, Taina quickly spoke to the child in her arms, regardless of whether the child could understand her.
Just now.
A flash of light passed right in front of her...
It was a figure like a shooting star, like a beacon of hope—and in the next instant, the head of the "giant" outside was sliced open!
This scene was deeply etched into Taina's eyes.
A tall woman with a simple ponytail then swung her long sword before returning it to its sheath.
“It’s all over now.” Lancelot turned around, looked at the girl holding the child in front of the alley, and pointed in another direction, saying, “It’s safe over there. You should run that way first. Someone will protect you.”
"Thank you." Tina took a deep breath.
She instantly understood what the other person meant from their actions... Without hesitation, she quickly ran in the direction indicated, carrying the child.
Lancelot frowned slightly. The girl wasn't speaking a common language, but he could guess the general meaning... It seemed to be the language of some ancient people?
"Who is this girl?" Mr. Gareth's voice came from above.
Lancelot raised his gaze and saw the other person slowly land beside him.
“I don’t know her.” Lancelot shook his head. “I just rescued her on a whim. She looks like an Indian girl… She seems quite intelligent.”
“Indians?” Gareth paused, “This people should rarely leave the land they have left…”
"Let's not talk about this anymore," Lancelot interrupted. "Senior, how are things on your end?"
“We took down four,” Mr. Gareth said quickly. “Their strength was average, but the fact that they were mindless beasts was a bit of a problem.”
There are not many reports of suspected zombies (non-humans) discovered so far, only a few locations. Two top-tier combatants from the Knight Organization easily suppressed them.
It didn't even take long; even if you went back and forth, it only took about ten minutes.
These non-human beings, suspected to be zombies, even without consciousness or fear, are only at level 3 in strength... The "giant" that Lancelot just killed was the same.
"Where did these guys come from?" Mr. Gareth walked over to the headless "giant" and squatted down to study him.
"Are they really zombies?" Lancelot asked thoughtfully.
“They just look like living corpses.” Mr. Gareth shook his head. “I’ve seen zombies, and they’re not like this at all… They’re more like they’re being controlled, maybe by some kind of ability to manipulate corpses.”
"affim?"
“I’m not sure,” Mr. Gareth shook his head. “But at least these things aren’t contagious. When I came here, I saw some injured people, and they all had normal wounds.”
At this moment, three patrol teams that came from elsewhere to provide support also joined forces to take down one of them... temporarily eliminating the source of the chaos.
At least, there have been no new reports of attacks.
“Report immediately.” Mr. Gareth stood up. “This matter is rather strange.”
Lancelot had no objections, and then directly raised the longsword in his hand, the sword light formed by his battle aura instantly soaring into the sky... and then he waited.
The two Knights of the Round Table did not have to wait long before they saw wisps of light converge, followed by a faintly glowing figure—none other than the first pillar of the [Magicians' Association], [Radiance].
Of course, what came was only a magical clone of [Radiance]; his true body was not here at all—in fact, even the one currently in the arena was also a magical clone.
"Your Excellency [Huiyao]".
Lancelot and Gareth greeted each other at the same time... They both sensed that this was just a magical clone, but even so, the magical power it contained was still astonishing.
[Non-human] King, Emperor of Europe... Known in the martial arts world as the Western version of "True Dragon"...
The Knights' Guild has a secret tradition that Radiance built a magic tower based on the principle of mimicking the characteristics of the Divine Dragon of China—as long as Radiance's true form remains inside the magic tower, it can continuously replenish its magic power.
"Hello, Lord Gareth, Lord Lancelot." [Radiance] smiled slightly, "You seem to have encountered some trouble... I was in the venue and heard some commotion as well."
“Yes,” Lancelot nodded. “We encountered this…strange ‘corpse’.”
[Radiance]'s gaze flashed over the headless "giant," then his eyes flickered slightly, and Arcane Definition: All-Knowing Eye was activated!
Data invisible to others began to emerge from various parts of the "giant".
At this moment, [Radiance]'s brain was working at high speed, just like a sophisticated computer.
"Time of death: approximately 109 days." [Radiance] suddenly spoke. "I understand. This is a rather ancient, almost lost technique for the dead... It can probably preserve about 70% of the deceased's strength from their lifetime."
Lancelot and Gareth stared at [Radiance] in shock.
【Radiance】 pondered, “However, considering that the corpse itself has no fear or consciousness, although it can only retain about 70% of its strength at most, its combat power will be improved in actual combat... What an interesting spell, even my magic tower has not included anything similar.”
—Hey, hey…
Mr. Gareth thought to himself with a slight scoff. He had long heard that the "non-human" king had devoted his life to the study of magic theory, and seeing him today, he could confirm that the reputation was well-deserved.
"Where was the body first discovered?" [Radiance] asked Mr. Gareth after regaining his composure.
“It must be the nearby park,” Gareth thought for a moment and said, “It was Lancelot and I who found it, and then there was a riot in the city, so we immediately took action to quell it.”
[Radiance] nodded, then stretched out his palm toward the "giant's" corpse. "This spell to control corpses should have a limit to its distance. I'll try to see if I can find the caster's location."
"Thank you for your trouble." Lancelot nodded.
The two Knights of the Round Table were immediately filled with confidence, after all, the name "Radiance" itself represented reputation and credibility.
The all-seeing eye had been observing the "giant's" corpse the whole time. Just as [Radiance] was about to activate a tracking spell, its gaze narrowed slightly.
He swiftly swung his arm, and a magical barrier instantly appeared in front of him. At the same time, the giant's corpse suddenly swelled up and then exploded... the force of which created a large crater in the ground.
"This?" Mr. Gareth asked in surprise and doubt.
"A spell similar to corpse explosion..." [Radiance] murmured, "It seems the person controlling this is very careful... Don't get close!"
As [Radiance] shouted to stop them, the members of several patrol teams were all startled.
Then, magical barriers were erected in front of them, and at the same time, the other corpses exploded violently.
Dark red blood splattered, leaving several large craters on the ground... The patrol members who were protected in time were all terrified and turned pale.
"Thank you so much, Lord [Radiance]..."
[Radiance] waved his hand, activated his All-Seeing Eye, and quickly scanned the surroundings, but ultimately found nothing. "The casting range exceeded my expectations... Interesting."
Having said that, [Radiance] flew directly into the air.
Lancelot and Mr. Gareth exchanged a glance... The eyes of this [non-human] king were clearly those of someone who had spotted prey.
"Search the area and see if there are any other injured people!" Lancelot immediately issued the order to the patrol members.
……
……
The arena is filled with the sounds of the martial arts competition.
[Radiance]'s eyes suddenly lit up.
Those present all felt that a wisp of [Radiance]'s consciousness had suddenly been separated.
"What happened, Tower Master?" Lamias asked curiously.
"Hmm...something did happen." [Radiance] didn't hide anything at this point, telling everyone what he had seen and heard with his magic clone. Finally, he asked, "Everyone here is a person of great knowledge. Have you ever heard of a method similar to manipulating corpses?"
Without a second thought, Lamia glanced at Father Stra, who was rubbing his eyes... clearly just woken up. "Ask Stra. The Holy See deals most with those who play with corpses."
Stra rolled his eyes. "Why don't you ask those monkeys in Southeast Asia? They like to play with corpse prostitutes!"
"...You really do know everything." Lamias rolled her eyes at him, annoyed.
"I know a little, I know a little," Father Strass said, sounding embarrassed.
"Stella, what's your opinion?" [Radiance] coughed lightly, bringing the channel back to a serious tone.
“Necromancers or something?” Stella picked at his ear. “I remember there were a few perverts in the Divine Prison who played with corpses… but it shouldn’t be them, since I broke their limbs and turned them into human pigs, they couldn’t possibly have gotten out.”
Grand Duke Gatsby suddenly said, "According to Lord Radiance, there aren't many corpses being manipulated. Is it possible that it's just because the guys who started playing with the corpses are still very weak?"
[Huiyao] shook his head, "Although the other party quickly and proactively severed the spell, judging from the residual power... the guy who controlled the corpse is not weak."
—It's not even worse than most of the places here...
"[Radiance] Lord, could these corpses be those of the victims from the past few days?" Hannes, one of the former Knights of the Round Table, suddenly asked.
"It shouldn't be." [Radiance] shook his head. "Their deaths have been going on for some time, the most recent one being almost a month ago."
"...In that case, should we stop the match?" An old man on the referee's stand suddenly said, "I still have some doubts. Logically speaking, for a competition of this level, the [New World] should have made no move at all. But in fact, we haven't seen anyone from the [New World] before... just the incident between the [Gariman Province] and the [Rainbow Province] a few days ago."
"Hmm... There are indeed rumors that many forbidden experiments are being conducted at the [Club]." [Radiance] pondered, "I will investigate in this direction... but there are no leads yet. Everyone should focus on the competition itself. This match should be decided soon."
Although they were discussing the manipulation of corpses, the referee panel kept their eyes glued to the duel between the Little Sword Immortal and Houssien, not missing a single moment.
These two are almost representative of the pinnacle of the youngest generation of newcomers.
In the midst of their ongoing battles, the future Holy Son of the Holy See had already sustained injuries; there was a cut on his arm... and a faint bloodstain had appeared on his handsome cheek at some unknown time.
In contrast, the Little Sword Immortal's hair was soaked with sweat, and her breathing was disordered... The sleeve of her left arm had been torn open.
This match lasted longer than any previous one, and it was incredibly close and difficult to determine a winner... The last time we saw a match this intense was when Da Zhuang faced off against the Knight Mechanical Fiery Knight.
"It's quite surprising, Miss Anran. You are the most talented swordsman I have ever seen." Hou Saien chuckled, as if his disheveled appearance did not exist, and his fighting spirit grew stronger.
—Why does this greasy old man talk so much?!
Can't you just play properly?!
—So annoying!
The Little Sword Immortal, whose inner thoughts and actual words were completely inversely proportional, let out a soft sigh and swung his longsword. "That's enough. Continuing like this won't get us anywhere... Next, I'll unleash my strongest move! Take this!"
“As you wish, madam.” Hossein chuckled, reaching up to tuck a stray strand of hair from his forehead, and a burst of holy light emanated from his body!
Stra rolled his eyes and muttered, "This bastard..."
Everyone knew that the match between "Little Sword Immortal" and Hou Saien was about to be decided, and almost all the cameras, both inside and outside the arena, subconsciously focused on the two of them on the stage.
[Radiance] even took the initiative to strengthen the barrier of the arena once again.
Hold your breath.
Houssien shone with dazzling light and flew into the air... One pair, two pairs... three pairs of shimmering white feathers slowly unfurled.
Lamias exclaimed in surprise, "An angel?"
Stella, looking nauseous, said, "The angel of the devil, which he forced himself to simulate with holy light, is not a descendant."
Lamias: "..."
She shook her head. Strapehosen, what sins has the Papacy committed this year... Just then, her peripheral vision swept across the arena next to her.
"Ok?"
Just as everyone's attention was focused on Anran and Hussein... on the side stage, a Chad fighter suddenly stopped fighting.
The Chadian athlete's sudden stop caught his opponent off guard... and the trident in his opponent's hand pierced directly through the Chadian athlete's body!
"No...referee, he suddenly stopped moving..."
You can't intentionally kill someone in the ring... The trident fighter was momentarily stunned.
The junior referee was also stunned. He had been so focused on the intense match next to him that he hadn't paid attention to it properly...
Just then, the Chad player, whose body had been pierced, suddenly raised his head and grabbed his dazed opponent by the neck with both hands.
"What kind of playing style is this..." The junior referee was dumbfounded again, subconsciously thinking that the Chad player was using some kind of tactic that would kill a thousand enemies but also lose eight hundred of his own... They're going all out!
Unexpectedly, a cloud of black mist suddenly emerged from the mouth of the Chad contestant, and instantly swallowed the two of them!
The surging black mist suddenly stretched out like a crack, and a figure instantly appeared from the crack!
"This……"
Emerging from the crack was a tall, slender man dressed in a white robe, with a scorching sun-like scar on his forehead and cloudy white eyes!
Almost simultaneously, on several other arenas in the venue, contestants from [Chad] were also swallowed by the black mist, which then turned into cracks, from which other individuals emerged!
A beam of white light shot into the sky from the white-robed monster, instantly shattering the barrier on the arena.
At the same time, black, silver... and a green beam of light also shot into the sky from three other places!
A thick layer of dark clouds suddenly descended from the sky, plunging the earth into darkness!
Immediately afterwards, a colossal Star of David descended from the dark clouds, crashing into the earth in an instant before disappearing without a trace, as if it were just a gentle breeze.
"What happened...?"
"just……"
It all happened so fast that it seemed no one could react in time...
But at that moment, Hussein suddenly fell from mid-air.
Meanwhile, the Little Sword Immortal, who was unleashing his strongest attack, frowned deeply... The sword light emanating from his longsword began to flicker.
……
The faces of the referees in the referee panel were all grim.
Lamias narrowed her eyes, clenched her fist, and sneered, "Looks like you've been hit... You're being suppressed quite a bit, aren't you?"
Grand Duke Gatsby also looked grim. "Gentlemen... it seems I can only muster less than half my strength."
"Me too……"
"I... only have 40% left..."
"A curse? Or..."
……
……
……
……
He grabbed a handful of popcorn and shoved it into his mouth, chewing it heartily. Kintoki's eyes narrowed instantly. "Found you... the mouse!"
John, standing beside him, looked around thoughtfully.
He felt like he'd seen this technique, which greatly reduced everyone's strength, somewhere before—John lit a cigarette to calm his nerves, and inspiration struck him instantly.
"Oh... isn't this the effect of one of the magic cards in the deck that the former [shopkeeper] had? [The Pain of the Strong], I remember now."
"Huh?" Kintoki's eyes widened. "[The Pain of the Strong]?"
John rolled his eyes, annoyed. "Didn't you sell them back then, the one with Eleanor? The former shop owner broke up the set of cards and sold them off; I even bought a few back then..."
After saying that, John did something like magic, flipping his hand and producing several cards the size of playing cards between his fingers. The bottom of each card was swirling, and the front was printed with various patterns.
Things like [Monster Resurrection], [Fusion Card], [Red-Eyes Black Dragon]...
Emmmm…
"Boss, it seems like it was sold before..."
