Are Legendary created by Deities Legendary?
The answer was already given by Pastor Soto during the war against Surtr of Twilight: some Legendary are Legendary, while Legendary can only sit at the same table as wild dogs.
Behind the Amber Longsword, Dragons descended from the sky. The moment its terrifying pressure arrived, the Legendary ghoul's body shattered into pieces. As the Dragons slammed down its claws, the bloated ghoul was torn to pieces and shoved deep into the ground.
Retracting its dragon claws, Arryris looked up from the deep pit beneath its feet, its long neck gradually becoming as crystalline as Ice Crystal. The moment it lowered its head again, the Twilight sky was illuminated by a pillar of icy white dragon breath.
The entire royal city was bathed in this icy white light, and the light brought by the dragon's breath did not dissipate for a long time.
Ryan leaped off the Dragons's back. It was quite a height, but fortunately, he was Sky Knight and wouldn't fall to the ground like an iron ball.
Standing on the frozen edge, Ryan looked down, then at Arryris.
"Is this the intense energy that belongs to you?"
"Without a doubt."
The Dragons walked gracefully across the land. As it passed, tiny cracks appeared in the frozen ground beneath its feet, which then multiplied into countless smaller cracks, shattering even the ghouls within them into finger-sized Ice Crystal fragments.
It was already dead, or rather, it had become part of the ice the moment the dragon's breath descended.
Fossils, Ryan thought of that word.
Although the fossil's outline is still visible, it has actually turned into stone.
"So vulnerable."
Ryan felt that this Hobii was no match for Surtr. The Legendary that Hobii had created himself didn't seem as resilient as the Legendary that Surtr had created when he descended into Hernan's body last time.
Their gazes fell on Daryl on the other side. Darryl had no time to deal with Ryan and the Frost Dragon. The two conflicting forces within him were quite alarming to the Dragons.
"The fact that he's still alive is astounding; this guy deserves to be Legendary."
Ryan wasn't surprised that the Dragons said that.
"No kingdom wants a gap in the line of Legendary within its royal family. He was originally the next Legendary candidate cultivated by the Andara Royal Family family to protect the royal family, and to continue to protect the royal family for at least a hundred years after the death of the previous Legendary. In a hundred years, the royal family will cultivate another seed like him, thus realizing the succession of the Legendary."
"However, things went wrong with the Andara Royal Family during this process."
Ryan didn't look at Daryl, as he couldn't handle Daryl's condition. Seeing the chaos at the Royal Palace, Ryan rushed over.
In the sky above the royal city, the roar of the Dragons brought awe-inspiring power. However, the Dragons was no micro-management master. Before the dragon's breath, ghouls died and human houses collapsed.
With a single sword stroke, Ryan tore apart the ghoul charging towards him. He then kicked open the King's palace, which was filled with people. Knights gripped their longswords nervously, while nobles huddled together.
" His Your Majesty."
Ryan bowed slightly to Adams, then frowned at the knights and shouted coldly.
"What are you doing here? Get out and fight the enemy!"
A powerful aura pressed down on the knights, making it hard for them to breathe. These knights were qualified to be here, because they were royal members like Daryl, and they had stubbornly resisted the curse, preventing them from being completely stripped of their supernatural powers.
Of course, it's also because the curse is less effective on the weaker the person, so in a sense, these knights are the worst of the royal family.
But since they became knights, they upheld the knightly code.
Ryan moved forward step by step, driving the knights out of the palace and sending them to fight the ghouls outside.
Then, Ryan's gaze fell upon the royal family members surrounding Adams, and a dazzling golden light gradually shone from the depths of his pupils.
"Court death!"
With a cold shout, Ryan thrust out his longsword, piercing through several royal members who rushed at him. As they died, their skin turned an unnatural grayish-white.
The remaining members of the royal family were in an uproar, looking at the others around them with wariness and fear. The group that had been huddled together suddenly became much more distinct.
With his sword in hand, Ryan killed twenty members of the royal family who had been corrupted by Hobii, and then all was silent.
"Your bloodline carries two curses."
Ryan couldn't help but marvel at the resilience of the Andara Royal Family; even after all that, a number of them had still survived. It could only be said that the legacy left to them by the Andara Royal Family ancestors was indeed powerful.
The Divine Blessing light in Ryan's eyes vanished, and he bowed slightly to Adams once more.
"You look rather disheveled, Your Majesty."
"I'm fine, Baron Ryan. Thank you for coming."
Adams looked at Ryan with some fear, then asked:
"Did the Emperor of the Empire send you?"
"The people His Majesty the Emperor sent are still on their way, but I think their arrival is not a good thing for you."
Ryan said that his arrival was good for the Andara Kingdom.
"If nothing unexpected happens, the empire will likely elect a new King."
Upon hearing Ryan's words, Adams' eyes widened, his whole body trembled, and then he became agitated and furious.
"I am the King of Andara, and no one can take my throne!"
The surrounding royal family members exchanged glances, and Ryan spoke directly:
"If you accomplish something and let the people of the kingdom know of your existence, then even the emperor of the empire cannot change your authority."
"But you've looked a bit disheveled lately, haven't you?"
"When I led the army to make you King, perhaps it was too short a time, and you had not yet consolidated your power. This means that the empire has the ability to replace you."
"Yes, it's too short a time, it's just too short a time. I've been fighting the Orcs in the Northlands recently, and war is imminent. How can I, as the King, hold a King procession and make my people kneel before me?"
Adams said nervously, he was indeed afraid of the Empire, now the entire Andara Kingdom was tied to the Empire's war machine.
"I see. His Majesty the King's achievements are simply unseen, but you can't let the Emperor find any fault with you, can you?"
"Yes, we can't let him find any fault with us."
"These Divine Favor must be dealt with before the Imperial House family arrives. Even though Hernan Andara has been dead for so long, he still poses such a huge threat to the kingdom. He should really be brought back to life and killed again."
Ryan spoke with righteous indignation, leaving Adams somewhat bewildered, his eyes widening.
"What does this have to do with Hernan?"
He didn't want to hear that name; it brought back unpleasant memories.
"Not Hernan? Or are these ghouls created by His Your Majesty Adams himself?"
Ryan asked in surprise, which made Adams tremble. After a shudder, he finally realized what was going on.
"Yes, yes, it's Hernan. That damned Hernan became a vessel for the Evil God, leaving such a great disaster for the kingdom."
Adams has never liked Hernan's existence as much as he does now.
"It's all his fault, it's all his fault. He summoned the Evil God, and these damned ghouls were all brought by Hernan."
The Dragons's pressure forced even the Divine Favor to submit, but as night fell, the ghouls went into hiding.
However, once bitten by a snake, even if it takes ten years, the next day will definitely be filled with fear. Tonight, countless people are destined to have trouble sleeping. Corpse monsters, Dragons, and other such things have an extraordinary impact on ordinary people.
"Didn't find it?"
In the King's palace, Ryan sat to Adams ' left, frowning as he stared at the knight who came in to report.
"The royal city is only so big, how come we didn't find it?"
"Even if you don't find them, you can still find out where they went by following the trail of the ghouls, right?"
The knight kept his head down and didn't respond. Ryan probably understood why and snorted coldly.
"It seems you don't even dare to give chase."
Ryan looked at Adams again.
" Your Majesty, I need command of the army."
On Adams ' other side, Count Merses opened his eyes, intending to refuse Ryan on Adams' behalf, but Ryan continued speaking:
" Grand Duke Leta's army should be arriving soon, or you could let Grand Duke Leta deal with these ghouls."
Count Merses sat back down, and Adams made up his mind.
Compared to Ryan, an "outsider," the royal family's authority over the kingdom's lands was of utmost importance. The King could ask outsiders for favors, but Adams found it unacceptable to ask his own followers and nobles for favors.
A typical ruler whose mind is filled with power.
" Baron Ryan, no, Count Ryan, what are you saying? You led the army of the Andara Kingdom against the Orcs. I have not taken back your command of the war; it has always belonged to you."
Adams spoke, and Ryan nodded before getting up and leaving the Royal Palace.
"Where are you going?"
Adams asked anxiously. There wasn't another knight as powerful as Ryan in this palace, and he was a little afraid that those ghouls might appear.
"The envoy of the empire can arrive here from the border of the empire in a maximum of two hours, so he can appear before Your Majesty at any time. At that time, he will be unable to defend himself, and the truth will not be up to us to decide."
Ryan said "we, "Adams no longer tried to stop Ryan from leaving.
"Where is Daryl? Bring him here quickly."
" Daryl... Lord Daryl is not in good condition."
The waiter whispered to Adams that after Adams told him what was going on, Adams didn't dare let Daryl get close to him anymore.
If I turn into a ghoul, then everything will be over.
Once outside, Ryan smoothly took over command without any trouble, because the royal family simply couldn't find a suitable person to lead the army. Daryl was preoccupied with his own problems, and the army was leaderless and had no idea what to do.
"Tell me, what places did you search?"
Torches illuminated the darkness of the Royal Palace, and Ryan questioned the knights.
"We searched every house, even the latrines, but found no trace of the ghoul."
"Lord Daryl personally searched the Royal Palace, but found no ghouls."
"What about outside the city?"
Ryan frowned. The ghouls shouldn't be so silent. Could they travel through the void?
"We've searched outside the city, but haven't found any ghouls."
The knights responded that they felt somewhat terrified; the inability to find the enemy was enough to reduce their fighting strength.
Ryan looked at the knights, his eyes gradually turning cold, and pointed to the sky.
"Those Divine Favor don't have wings, so how can they fly?"
"Even if they fly, can they escape our eyes?"
Ryan shouted loudly, causing the Dragons soaring in the sky to descend from the heavens. The Dragons's oppressive force was like a mountain descending, and the army dared not even breathe.
I wasn't talking about you.
Ryan had no idea how much time had passed or when the Empire Emperor's envoy would arrive.
He was very nervous because his actions were a confrontation with the Empire Emperor, a move to seize control Andara Andara before the Empire Emperor could take it over, and a challenge to the Emperor's authority in the land.
Therefore, he must resolve the troubles here before the envoy arrives, tying his own interests to those of the Andara Royal Family, forming a united front to counter the impending pressure from Emperor Flor.
"The royal city is right here. The ghouls rely on their own legs; their only escape routes are either to the sky or to the earth. If the sky isn't an option, then they'll dig up the earth!"
Those grey-skinned Goblin in the icy wilderness of the Northlands live in burrows. Since we've searched everywhere—the sky is out of the question, what about underground?
"Dig!"
Having received the order, the soldiers dared not slack off and directed a large number of slaves to begin digging, since they couldn't sleep anyway.
Ryan personally inspected the area, but kept trying to stop the slaves from digging.
"Why are we even digging anymore? It's all solid rock down there, even the soil is hard, and the ghouls can't burrow underground!"
"Let's go to the next place."
Without Ryan's intervention, these people would have continued to descend without considering that it was impossible for anything to pass through the places they had dug out.
The soldiers didn't think; they could only obey orders and escort these slaves to other places to continue digging.
Along the way, the slaves dared not speak much, but the soldiers relaxed because they had not encountered any ghouls.
"Have you heard? That Dragons is Lord Ryan's mount."
"Of course I know. I saw it with my own eyes. Lord Ryan came riding Dragons. Dragons is such a terrifying monster, yet Lord Ryan could ride on its back. What else could it be but a mount?"
"You know, I used to be a soldier under Lord Ryan. It was because of that experience that I learned so much about how to fight on the battlefield."
"Alas, it's a pity. Nate served with me in Lord Ryan's army. He died at the hands of the ghouls yesterday, and his family could only retrieve his body."
"It's a pity he won't be able to see Lord Ryan. And I heard that his body hasn't been buried yet. His family searched the entire cemetery, but it's all fresh soil. There are too many dead people, and they don't even know where to bury them."
"You mean, Xintu?"
The sudden sound from behind startled the soldier, who turned around to find the elegantly dressed Ryan standing right behind him.
"Lord Ryan..."
The soldier was so excited that he knelt down, and the soldiers around him also knelt down in a circle.
"Answer my question, you mean new soil?"
"Yes, sir, too many people have died these past few days. Some people don't even know where to bury their loved ones. The other lands belong to His Majesty the King, and they dare not bury them in other places."
After listening, Ryan turned to look at the knights following him, unsure whether they were following him to protect him or because they felt safer with him.
How many bodies have been found in the past few days?
"Rare."
The knight replied that Daryl had already received this result: those corpses would turn into wights on the new day and attack humans, killing all living things.
"If we can't even find the body, what are we going to bury it with?"
"Dig!"
Ryan's powerful command made many people hesitate. Death is a serious matter, and digging up a grave after burial is an act that will be punished by the Deities.
"What are you standing there for?"
When Ryan gave the order, the soldiers had no choice but to do it themselves. Why not the slaves? What if the ghouls were below the graveyard? The slaves' chaotic reaction would throw the army into chaos as well.
Not long after the shovel dug down, a roar was heard. The soldier fell to the ground in fear, but fortunately, flames pierced through the ghoul's body behind him.
"Pick up your weapon and kill it."
The ghouls howled in the flames. Ryan's orders made the soldiers grit their teeth and rush forward to cut off the ghouls' heads. Watching the monsters gradually turn to Ash in the flames, the army became extremely tense.
"How many graveyards are there in the royal city?"
"Okay, lots of them."
The knight replied that he did not know the exact number, only that the graveyard had to be expanded after the previous war ended, and that this was because many of the corpses had been burned.
"Gather the army, dig up all the graveyards, and kill the ghouls inside."
The knights hesitated; they dared not disobey Ryan's orders, but they also found the ghouls somewhat frightening and realized they were no match for them.
"Do you understand fire?"
"These monsters can only be killed with fire. Don't be afraid, the Dragons in the sky will help you."
Ryan's expression was gloomy. Weren't these new armies of the Andara Kingdom a bit too incompetent?
After this is over, perhaps we should all go to the the North battlefield for some training.
On the third night, the roar of the ghouls arrived as expected, making the people in the royal city tense once again. However, this time, they did not seem to see any monsters appearing around them.
The towering flames, just like those from the final battle, once again illuminated the Andara Royal City. The power of the Dragons continued to pour down. It was unrealistic to rely on the army to wipe out the ghouls; they still had to rely on the power of the Dragons.
"Will this stop Hobii from arriving?"
Ryan inquired, "At Dawn, all the ghouls died from the Dragons's breath. Just in case, Ryan set several fires, and those flames are still burning brightly now."
The Dragons Arryris thought for a moment, then shook his head.
"His gaze has become intertwined with this land. Unless all of His power is eliminated, these ghouls will reappear every so often."
"His power exists through a medium, and all matter related to Hobii is part of that medium."
After hearing all this, Ryan's gaze settled on a corner deep within the Royal Palace.
