So when they faced this seemingly invincible, all-around warrior, they felt a sense of powerlessness as if they were facing Odin.
The shadow of "death" loomed over the remaining four Knights of the Round Table.
Of the remaining four Knights of the Round Table, apart from Lancelot, who maintained the commandment of the Word of Power and did not take action, the other three, including Gawain, were in very bad shape.
Losing an arm or a leg is a minor problem. As long as they survive this danger, they, as pure-blooded dragons, have plenty of ways to recover.
Cao Han swung his sword, flicking away the blood remaining on its blade. The tables had turned, and Cao Han looked at Lancelot, who had yet to make a move, with a mocking gaze.
"Everyone's dying, aren't you going to make a move?"
The unpleasant expression hidden beneath the mask could not be observed, but the anger in his eyes was impossible to conceal.
In fact, Lancelot had been observing, studying the opponent's attack methods and weaknesses, constantly looking for openings and opportunities to strike.
However, the results of the observations are somewhat hard to accept.
His opponent's sword-wielding style was completely haphazard and incredibly crude; anyone who had practiced for a few months was better than him. His fighting style could be summed up in just four words:
Bricks fly with great force!
flaw?!
No matter how you look at it, every move he makes is full of flaws!
For a fleeting moment, Lancelot almost wondered if his Word of Power had lost its suppressive effect.
Even the opponent's incantation wasn't some kind of lightning-fast, instantaneous power, but rather something like an immortal or Yamata no Orochi that strengthens the physical body.
Neither of those were the case!
This third-generation creature in front of us is a freak!
Out of caution, Cao Han did not rush to launch a final attack, remaining on guard against Lancelot's last-ditch effort.
He knew that the journey of a hundred miles was only half complete at ninety, and he didn't want to become someone who lost everything due to carelessness.
Once Lancelot is dealt with, the entire Nibelungen-Avalon will be like a beautiful young woman, at his mercy.
Trump card?
Lancelot replied, "Of course!"
However, this trump card was not intended to target Cao Han, but rather was a trump card left by Odin to deal with any foreign enemies invading Avalon.
Only cards that are used are true trump cards; those that aren't... become the enemy's spoils of war.
Seeing this, Lancelot no longer hesitated and pulled out a long, thin object tightly wrapped in a shroud from inside his knight's armor cloak.
In the instant the shroud was untied, revealing only the tip of the iceberg, Cao Han's ghostly figure moved.
He bypassed the three extremely vigilant Knights of the Round Table, including Gawain, and circled around to Lancelot's back.
The jet-black blade in his hand sliced through the air, aiming straight for the back of his neck.
Even if only the tip of the iceberg is revealed, he can already guess what kind of devilish thing the other party is pulling out as their trump card!
Odin's old Bidedon's weapon—Gungnir!
Gangnir, made from a branch of the World Tree, has a simple yet powerful ability: it is a divine gun that "always hits its target with every throw," never missing a shot.
This is not the same as that guaranteed hit; it's completely different from the guaranteed hit characteristic of the Holy Sword Durandal.
The only flaw that isn't really a flaw is that it can only lock onto any target once.
Gungnir, known as the "causal weapon," has a causal property that guarantees death upon hitting a target.
Whether human or dragon, everyone only has one life; that's what makes Gungnir so "buggy."
However, this ability is not entirely absolute. At least in Cao Han's memory, Odin was unable to kill "Mingfei" who had the protagonist's halo when he used Gungnir.
He absolutely did not want to experience being hit by this thing, so when he slashed out, he used all his strength in order to kill it with one blow.
The idea was good, and the action was decisive and efficient.
The unexpected turn of events came from Gawain, who had been defeated by Gawain. Gawain suddenly appeared behind Lancelot and took the blow himself.
For pure-blooded dinosaurs, as long as the "eggs" for cocooning and rebirth are prepared in advance, a brief period of death is nothing.
They probably don't know that the pure-blooded dragons that were devoured by Cao Han were said to have been reborn from their cocoons, leaving not a trace behind.
Because Gawain sacrificed himself to block this thunderous and fatal blow, when he turned around to kill Lancelot, he found that Lancelot had already raised Gungnir in his hand.
at the same time.
Cao Han felt a sense of crisis, as if he were completely "locked in" and could not escape no matter what.
"If you can't solve the problem, then solve the problem of who caused it!"
In a flash of thought, he gritted his teeth and made a decision. Instead of retreating, he advanced and closed in on Lancelot once again.
However, Lancelot was equally quick.
The instant he threw Gungnir, the person in front of him attacked head-on. In that barely perceptible moment, he clearly saw an unwavering determination in those molten gold eyes!
puff--
The silent blade pierced the air and the hard keel of the jaw, then went straight up through the entire skull.
"If you don't cut the weeds at the root, they'll grow back in the spring breeze." Cao Han's attacks showed no sign of stopping until he saw the system's kill notification.
Pureblood dragons have amazing regenerative abilities, let alone the next generation that has survived from the Black King era to the present.
The black dagger, once drawn, left a bloody wound, from which a steady stream of blood gushed forth, much like the power that was gradually slipping away.
Lancelot wanted to make one last desperate struggle, but the knife that pierced his heart once again fixed his gaze on the shattered earth.
[Defeat the next-generation Lancelot, evolution value +100000]
The system notification signifies the fall of Lancelot, the strongest living being in Avalon.
The remaining two Knights of the Round Table, utterly terrified, fled the moment the Word of Power failed.
Cao Han was about to make his next move...
A golden beam of light pierced through his chest, where his heart was located.
The heart is like the body's engine; a broken heart causes the body to lose its strength and kneel on the ground.
He could clearly feel something called "life force" rapidly draining away from him.
"This Gungnir is truly unsolvable!"
On his deathbed, Cao Han, who had already died once, showed no fear of dying again. Instead, he marveled at Gungnir's domineering nature.
[Evolution value requirements met, proceed with evolution?]
[Didi Didi——]
[Host has suffered fatal damage; evolution is forcibly initiated.]
Before Cao Han, who was in a state of confusion, could see the system notification, his vision went black and he completely lost consciousness.
Chapter 13 Who doesn't know how to do a sit-up?
"Huh!? I... I'm not dead?!"
Consciousness gradually returned.
Cao Han was startled awake from his deathbed. His first thought was that he was still alive, and only then did he begin to examine his body.
The hole left after Gungnir pierced his chest has disappeared, and when he touches his muscular chest with his right hand, he can still clearly feel the powerful beating of his heart.
Apart from that, there were no visible injuries on the body; it was as if it had been restored to factory settings and was completely undamaged.
I can vaguely recall it from my memory...
He seemed to see a system notification appear before he completely lost consciousness and passed out.
Cao Han, somewhat belatedly realizing what was happening, hurriedly checked the various system notifications—
[Defeat the next-generation Gawain, evolution value +100000]
[Defeat the next-generation Lancelot, evolution value +100000]
【…】
The vast majority of the notifications indicated that pure-blooded dragons were killed during this siege.
It wasn't until he saw the last three system notifications that Cao Han suddenly realized that the reason he was still alive was likely due to this forced evolution of the system.
Thinking of this, Cao Han took the opportunity to check the latest evolution panel.
Name: Cao Han
Race: Dragon (Third Generation)
"Bloodline: King of the Sky and Wind, Black King - (0%)"
Physical Strength: 14976
Soul Strength: 7488
"Skills: ...Word of Power - Discipline, Word of Power - Time Zero"
"Evolution value: -1000000/37500000"
"Note: Due to fatal damage to the host, evolution has been forcibly activated, and the evolutionary life source has been severely damaged. Please avoid prolonged high-intensity battles as much as possible to prevent further damage to the life source and the irreversible collapse."
"Is my current strength... a bit too invincible?!"
Cao Han stared in shock at his latest evolution panel.
The changes are too great and the amount of information is too much to digest all at once.
First, there's the bloodline. He could tell who contributed it just by looking at the extra words "Black King" and the extra "Word of Power - Discipline" in the skill bar.
Lancelot... he's such a good person!
He helped others enter Valhalla during his lifetime, and after his death, he not only contributed the bloodline of the Black King Nidhogg, but also received the divine weapon Gungnir as a gift.
At this moment, the divine spear that had once taken Cao Han's life was lying quietly at his feet.
While evolving, the system probably also evolved the bloodline.
The next time he encounters a dragon, he will be qualified to call himself a noble third-generation species.
