Chapter 277: Chapter 179 The Legacy Trial of the Dark Dragon Knight_2
"Through my remaining trials, you can receive my legacy."
"When you become an existence that can stand shoulder to shoulder with the gods, remember to take revenge for me..."
"You have read all the recognizable text on the stone tablet."
"Do you want to touch the stone tablet and start the trial of the ’Dark Dragon Knight’?"
Accept the Dragon Knight’s inheritance?
"If I pass the trial, will I become a Dragon Knight and receive a dragon as a reward?"
The ’Ancient Hermit Black Dragon’ next to him should be the ’Black Ancient Dragon’ mentioned in the stone tablet.
Lin Xun’s imagination ran wild, thinking about how the bone remains of the ancient dragon would resurrect after he passed the trial, and he would become a skeletal dragon knight or say a bone dragon knight.
He carefully read the text on the stone tablet.
There are two prerequisites for starting the trial. In simple terms, one is to have a straightforward mind and strong limbs; the other is a firm will, never giving up.
He speculated that the content of the trial might also be related to these two prerequisites.
Those who do not meet the conditions may not be able to pass the trial.
The shell of the Mage apparently does not meet the requirements, but the Earth Giant fits the condition of having well-developed limbs. As for whether the will is firm or not, it depends on the user of the shell.
Lin Xun believed his will was very firm, as he had unhesitatingly chosen to close (block) the webpage in the face of numerous risk warnings.
Very consistent with the strong will mentioned in the prerequisites.
"Isn’t it just a trial? Let’s give it a try!"
"You reach out to touch the huge stone tablet..."
"Your body is tense, fully prepared for the imminent trial."
"..."
"After a long time, nothing unusual happens."
"You look at the stone tablet suspiciously and try to touch it again, but still no sign of the so-called trial coming."
"Just as you think that the trial power on the stone tablet has been worn away due to the long years..."
"A feeling of unexplained drowsiness gradually creeps over your brain, you desperately try to keep your eyes open, but can only be dragged into an unknown sleep..."
"You enter the ’Remnant Knowledge Illusion’..."
"..."
"Innumerable shouts and howls fill your ears, accompanied by the sound of weapons hacking into hard shells and limbs piercing armor."
"You slowly open your eyes, numerous humans and horrifying creatures battle in front of you."
"Those creatures covered in hard shells are the ’Star Monsters’ you know well."
"The desolate battlefield is littered with countless corpses, some of them are Star Monsters’, but more of them are your own kind."
"You look up to the sky, where countless giant flying creatures are fighting with small humans. The dazzling white light of characters constantly flashes, sprinkling blood and falling bodies from time to time."
"You notice that a terrifyingly ferocious shadow is hovering in the sky, constantly spewing out a pitch-black flame. The Star Monsters are unable to resist and corrode to dissolution under the pitch-black breath, then fall..."
"You look closely, that terrifyingly ferocious shadow turns out to be a living, breathing, gigantic black dragon!"
"As the dragon swirls, you vaguely see a figure with a giant spear on its back."
"This dragon is nowhere near as colossal as the skeletal remains of the ’Ancient Hermit Black Dragon’ you saw before. Compared to the colossus you’ve seen, it’s but a child."
"Where the dragon and dragon knight go, the star creatures fall one after another, without a single match!"
"However, compared to the endless bloody front, the star creatures that died are but a drop in the ocean. Even the mighty Dragon Knight cannot influence the overall situation on the battlefield."
"Suddenly, a terrifying Star Creature breaks through the thick layers of soldiers and swings its claws and teeth at you!"
"You pull out the ’Ancient Dragon Tooth Mace’ and smash it into a pulp."
"You have defeated an ’Unknown Star Creature’. You did not gain any experience."
"An armored soldier quickly ran to your side, knelt down and apologized. He was incompetent and let the creature of the evil god endanger your safety..."
"You wave your hand to send him back to the front line to fight."
"You look towards the most intense battle line, only to see that whether it’s the polymaths in the sky or the ordinary soldiers on the ground, in the face of the endless Star Monsters, they can only be pushed back step by step..."
[Suddenly, the sound of a long, drawn-out trumpet resonates by your ear, followed by two more in succession.]
[You furrow your brows, a sense of foreboding gradually taking root...]
[It’s the same soldier, his armor stained with blood, leaning on the Cross Sword, he comes to your side with a defeated look on his face, warning you that the frontlines have been breached, the Scholars are about to retreat from the battlefield. As the leader of the Oath Legion, it’s your duty to set an example and cover the Scholars’ retreat.]
[You look toward the sky, no doubt those insignificant humans start to cautiously retreat, no longer standing face to face with the monsters.]
[Only those shadows soaring in the sky, still refusing to retreat, are still fighting in the most intense part of the battlefield!]
[As a brave and resolute Apostle, what should you do?]
[1. Roll your eyes and shake your head ’Why do we have to cover for them? Come on, I’ll lead you to flee!’ Command the soldiers in the legion to flee the battlefield with you, preserving the fire of humanity’s continuity.]
[2. In a fit of anger, you retort, ’You talk too much! Why aren’t you fighting tooth and nail on the front line instead of reminding me here!’ Command the soldiers in the legion to charge, while you, alone, sneak away from the battlefield.]
[3. Fearlessly roar ’Brothers, charge with me! Kill those alien monsters!’ Take the lead and engage in bloody combat, commanding a full assault to cover the Scholars’ retreat.]
If it were just a normal day, Lin Xun would definitely choose the second option.
Surviving comes first in the underworld game, there’s no shame in living to fight another day.
But he’s in the ’Residual Knowledge Illusion’, he’s in the ’Dark Dragon Knight’s trial.
Of course, he must choose the bravest option.
Otherwise, while the dragon knight is still fighting in the sky, he’ll be cut from the trial if he flees first.
Without any hesitation, he presses the third option to lead a charge and cover the retreat.
[You draw the ’Ancient Dragon Tooth Mace’, letting out a roar that echoes across the battlefield!]
[You decisively charge towards the frontline, and countless soldiers answer your call, screaming loudly as they draw their long swords and enter the fray!]
[The Scholars in the sky, as if receiving an order, immediately begin to retreat from the battlefield...]
[Dense rows of giant crossbows are pushed out from the legion, shooting out a shimmering swarm of crossbow bolts like a locust plague once the Scholars have retreated.]
[The monsters chasing the Scholars suffer heavy casualties under the onslaught of the arrows. Among the concentrated barrage, not only the Star creatures fall, but also a few Scholars who have not retreated in time, along with countless legion soldiers.]
[Under the shower of arrows, the Star creatures have no choice but to temporarily give up their pursuit of the Scholars and turn to attack the crossbows in the midst of the legion.]
[You pay no mind to those crossbows, knowing full well that the moment they revealed themselves, both the crossbows and the soldiers operating them would fall under the claws and fangs of the Star creatures.]
[This death is not only for those soldiers, but also, sacrifice is your ultimate destiny!]
[Dragging your ’Ancient Dragon Tooth Mace’, you charge to the heart of the carnage.]
[Facing the tide-like monster sea, you roar and swing your weapon, starting the deadly fight...]
[You have killed the ’Unknown Star Creature’, but you have gained no experience.]
[You have killed the ’Unknown Star Creature’...]
[You have killed...]
[...]
[...]
[Your vision gradually reddens, your ’Dragon Knight’s Regenerative Scale Armor’ has blocked several fatal strikes for you.]
[Gradually, the armor’s recovery speed can’t keep pace with the frequency of it being rent by the beasts.]
[You can’t tell anymore if the blood staining the scale armor is yours or that of the Star creatures.]
[You begin to feel a little weary!]
[Suddenly, a sharp claw launches another attack at you, in your dazed state, your weak arms couldn’t block this strike.]
[A figure stands in your way, mercilessly impaled by the claw.]
[Wiping the blood from your forehead, you see that the figure is the same soldier who warned you earlier.]
[Blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, he whispers to you, Major, you must hold on until the last moment, may the ’Almighty True Knowledge’ be with you...]
[After he speaks, his head drops in weakness.]
[With an expressionless face, you tightly grip your mace, pulverizing the monster in front of you.]
[Looking towards the endless sea of monsters, you take a deep breath, and charge forward once more!]
