Planner of Age of Heroes

That is to investigate the existence that has ruined King Arthur’s reputation!

He came here following a force filled with the breath of death, but when he first felt that force he was in the wilderness, and it was in the middle of the night. By the time he chased it here, it was already early morning, and the force he felt at the beginning had disappeared without a trace.

but…..

Gawain turned his gaze toward the outskirts of the city, where it seemed that some new death and sin were being bred. Having faced a variety of magical beasts and enemies in Chaldea, he could naturally distinguish the attributes of the vaguely sensed aura.

If it was just filled with the breath of death, it might not be an enemy. But if this breath of death was mixed with so much blood and sin, then it was undoubtedly someone who needed to be put in shackles. After Gawain said goodbye to the girls who were entangled around him, he walked towards the direction of the breath he vaguely felt.

Those calm eyes gradually began to become serious. If he was a nobleman or a prince charming before, now he was gradually transforming himself into a knight who fought against evil!

In this prison on the outskirts of the city, ordinary people in the prison on the surface have not been affected at all, but if you enter the underground facility through a special gate, you will find that the entire underground has completely changed. During this period, no one who entered the underground from the ground facilities has returned to the ground.

The special elevator passage looks normal from the ground, but if you continue to go down, you will find that the original passage has been distorted. Twisted bones cover the entire area. Even the elevators in the upper and lower passages have been twisted into another shape and cannot go up again along the track.

Moreover, the elevator stopped halfway. A few mechanical traces could still be vaguely seen on the upper part of the elevator, while the lower part had completely turned into a special frame composed of bones. Inside this frame, there were many employees who were gradually being transformed into undead. It seemed that after the strange changes occurred underground, they were preparing to return to the surface through the elevator.

However, the speed of this mutation was still one step faster than theirs, and their final fate was to become undead creatures that lost their self and were controlled by others. However, it was definitely much better than the hell that appeared underground.

Judging from the situation displayed underground, it is no different from the previous prison, and may even be more tragic. After all, this city is several times larger than the previous one, and the criminals imprisoned here are more powerful. There are also many equally cruel creatures, and the gems placed here have changed hands countless times.

There were even cases where someone got the gem and had just put it into their body when they were besieged by others and had it torn into pieces.

No one wants to give up the possibility of survival, and no one would think that the being was joking. Likewise, those who are imprisoned here also desire freedom even more, even if it means being controlled by others. After all, for those who are imprisoned underground, being imprisoned here means that they will almost never see the light of day again in the future.

If he had only made some minor mistakes, he would not have been imprisoned here underground. A man whose lower body turned into a horse like a centaur limped out the gem from the blood. If he did not have the ability to transform into such a mythical creature in a short period of time, he would not have been able to hold on until now.

His abilities were very strong, but he couldn’t keep them up for long. Moreover, each time he transformed into a creature, it would take a long time for him to change into the same form again. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have fought to the end as a centaur. He would have used up all the slightly stronger creatures long ago.

“It looks like I will be the final winner of this battle…”

The Centaur held a spear in his hand and had a slightly miserable smile on his face. He had really risked his life to get to this point. He felt that he had never been so tired even when he was fighting with the police before.

Just as the Centaur was about to embed the gem into his body to gain his freedom, the dirty blood on the ground suddenly wrapped around his limbs, and then a hand pierced through his chest.

A soft body pressed against his back, and the hands gently wrapped around his neck. “No… I am the one who won in the end. Thank you so much for clearing out so many enemies. Of course, I also want to thank the others for killing so much that the ground is covered with so much blood. Now this place has become my home ground.”

A woman made of blood whispered these words into the man’s ear, then slowly took the gem in her hand, licked the blood on her hand while looking at it.

The gem was then swallowed by the woman, and pain covered her body.

Her skin also began to show signs of decay, but it seemed that it was due to her female ability and the assimilation with the blood. Except for her hands becoming dry like bones and having two more skeleton arms, and the blood-stained clothes on her body all turning into white bones, she managed to maintain a relatively beautiful appearance.

However, after gaining this power, her abilities also mutated. A large number of stones and bones appeared among the blood on the ground, and her ability to assimilate with the blood expanded to the ability to assimilate with all corpses. Although it is not as pervasive as pure blood, it also gives her more options to activate her abilities.

The woman did not expect that she could survive to the end. After all, in this place without blood, she was extremely vulnerable at the beginning. But who would have thought that everyone here would start attacking each other in an instant, allowing her to escape the most vulnerable moment.

In the basement locker room, she began to move along the blood on the ground to avoid the aftermath of the battle from hitting her.

Until now, the corpses and blood all over the ground have made her the controller of this place. The reason why she was imprisoned here is actually very simple, that is, to kill for money, use her beauty to exchange for the love of men, and then take the opportunity to kill them.

Chapter 268: Let’s have a fair fight

The woman felt the strength she now possessed as she moved her four arms. After becoming more proficient, she prepared to leave the underground. Originally, she was one of the weaker ones in this underground prison. She was not as crazy as most people. However, as the saying goes, “Birds of a feather flock together.”

Having been bullied and oppressed by other prisoners here for so long, and with most of the people around her having such manic personalities, this woman has gradually become resentful during her nearly ten years of imprisonment.

All the suffering she had endured in the past ten years was caused by the policemen who had locked her up here. They had been making trouble underground for so long, and no support had come from the ground. That meant that if she launched an attack on the ground now, she should be able to catch those damn guards off guard!

Because she had been suppressed and bullied for many years, this woman was no longer humble and calm as before after gaining such powerful strength. Now she only wanted revenge.

Looking at the skeleton-like walls that were monitoring them and the souls that disappeared without a trace, the woman connected all the stones and blood in this underground area and swallowed them all in blood. They were lifted up like meat paste and rushed to the ground. The meat paste, like a mudslide, completely opened up the elevator passage and then poured out of the special door.

The sudden attack from underground really made it impossible for the prison guards on the ground to react. This woman, out of revenge and in order to make herself immortal and stronger, planned to kill everyone in the prison so that all of them would become part of her body.

As long as these corpses are crushed into meat paste and are not completely destroyed, she will exist forever.

Unlike the previous man, this woman intends to use this as her headquarters and slowly expand outwards.

When Gawain arrived here, several prison guards were covering their companions and some criminals they had rescued as they retreated out of the prison. This was no longer the time to care whether the people around them were right or wrong, guilty or meritorious. The most important thing was that they worked together to survive.

Several prison guards even handed over the batons they carried with them to the criminals who escaped together. Of course, they did not dare to give them guns. After all, they still had to prevent these people from escaping. If the special guns fell into the hands of ordinary people like them, it would definitely be a disaster.

Behind these people, strangely shaped undead were chasing them. These undead looked like various kinds of existences spliced ​​together. For example, some had dog heads and human bodies, but their limbs were of different sizes and they could only move on the ground. Some had four or five legs, and some even lacked arms and had twisted bodies.

Several of the undead were obviously very new creatures, as they were equipped with modern instruments, and special firearms were also integrated into their bodies. Fortunately, these undead did not aim, so the bullets they fired deviated from their trajectories.

But there were so many undead souls, and one of the bullets would always hit a person. One person who was fleeing was shot directly in the leg, which made the others around him stop, turn around and go back to provide support.

It was also at this time that a human arm was sewn on the back of the known undead hound. It rushed over quickly, dodged the attacks of several people, and came in front of a prison guard. The sewn human arm was holding a special firearm. Now there was no need to aim, just a shot would penetrate the body of the prison guard.

Just when the prison guard closed his eyes and waited for death to come, the sound of bullets being fired and the sound of metal colliding brought him back to his senses.

A figure passed by his eyes, and the man with light blond hair swung the sword in his hand to the side and cut the undead in half.

The knight turned around slowly with a humble smile on his face. “It’s too early to give up now. The men of Great Britain should hold on to hope until the last moment! Now you should leave this place in big strides. I will protect you from behind!”

The rescued prison guard looked at the man standing in front of him and couldn’t help but ask, “Who are you?”

The knight still had a smile on his face. In this dark time, this smile was like the sun. “He was just a knight passing by.”

The knight with light blond hair stood up, blocking the attacking undead while watching them leave the dangerous place out of the corner of his eye. After making sure they were safe, the knight with light blond hair gradually put away his smile.

“Well, you’ve been watching the show for so long, it’s time for you to come out. You actually have a bad taste for playing this cat-and-mouse game.”

The flesh paste that seemed to cover the entire prison area slowly opened to both sides. The woman in the bone armor was like a star walking on the stage surrounded by the Road of Death. She twisted her graceful body and came in front of the knight, but there was still a sufficient distance between the two.

The woman wearing Guge armor held a bone sword in each of her four arms. She looked at the knight in front of her and couldn’t help but curl her lips. “You are the one who disturbed my elegance? In that case, don’t blame me for using your life to make up for my missing happiness!”

The huge piece of meat was covered with a layer of bone armor burning with dirty green flames, and then a huge arm stretched out, holding a huge bone sword in the hand, and smashed it hard in the direction of the knight.

That’s right, it was a smash and not a chop, because the sword made of bones was not sharp at all.

A huge noise was heard, and smoke and dust spread in all directions. A sharp sword light flashed through the dust and cut off the weapon in the hand. Then the knight who put on the armor again rushed out from the opened road, “I am Gawain, a knight of the Round Table. Let’s fight fair and square! Crooked way!”

The knight’s sword in Gawain’s hand began to be surrounded by flames as he charged forward.

Chapter 269: The Battle of the Round Tables

The knight’s sword in Gawain’s hand is a holy sword blessed by the sun. At this moment, although the sun is not shining on the earth, it is still surrounded by raging flames. The flames pass through the flesh paste composed of corpses and instantly turn it into charcoal. To some extent, Gawain is indeed the nemesis of this existence in front of him.

However, before 9 o’clock, Gawain did not have the ability to quickly, directly and thoroughly eliminate the woman in front of him. After all, this area was this woman’s home turf. In terms of speed and method of escape, this woman did have the advantage at the moment, but these were only temporary.

In another area, Tristan looked at the enemy who was half-kneeling on the ground with obvious signs of undead transformation on his body, and gently touched the beloved bow in his hand, “Then let’s begin. It’s such a sad song, singing about pain, playing sorrow, [Illusion of Crying]… This is my arrow!”

As the knight’s fingers stroked the bowstrings, each bowstring played a beautiful tune like a guitar string. In a place that the enemy could not see, one silk thread after another pierced through his body. The net made of strings seemed to be about to tear him apart. The enemy wailed, but no blood was shed from his torn body.

How sad it is! The absence of blood means that the existence before us has lost the qualification to be born as a human being.

Tristan slowly opened his eyes, and only coldness remained in them. It was time to put a rest. The harp-like bow was finally pulled completely apart. Powerful magic power continued to entangle the center of the bow. Finally, as his fingers loosened, the magic power penetrated outwards and directly opened a hole in the head of this enemy who was no longer a human.

Watching the corpse turn into dust, the gem slowly floated out of the corpse, and Tristan frowned. Seeing that the gem seemed to want to fly in a certain direction, Tristan did not hesitate and plucked his bowstring again. The invisible arrow completely tore the gem into pieces. Only then did the gem stop and fly away in a certain direction.

Tristan glanced at the direction the gem was trying to fly, then took a piece of the gem in his hand. If he could analyze the power contained in these gems clearly, it should be of some benefit to subsequent events, even if this gem could not be of any benefit to the current event.

Not only Tristan encountered such an enemy, the two-man action team of Bedivere and Gareth also encountered a more special enemy, a pair of twins holding two gems. They kept talking about the greatness of Arthur, the Lord of the Dead. This was something Bedivere absolutely could not accept. Even the girl Gareth next to him clenched the spear in her hand.

In the previous exploratory battle, the two Knights of the Round Table had roughly figured out the characteristics of these two people. The abilities of the two people belonged to the second level of gravity, so it would be a bit of a headache for them to coordinate their movements. At the same time, because they were twins, they had to be killed at the same time to kill them.

This was not difficult for the two Knights of the Round Table.

Bedivere and Gareth, who was holding a knight’s spear and a shield beside him, looked at each other. Looking at the two enemies who were constantly bouncing by gravity and repulsion, their eyes were fixed on their respective targets. Of course, when necessary, the two people’s targets would switch!

Bedivere sheathed the knight’s sword in his hand, and the silver arm began to emit a bright and dazzling golden light. “Full magic power – Silver arm, please give me light!”

Gareth also clenched the spear in his hand, which Merlin had added countless magic to, and then charged forward. When she fought to protect her best friend Miss Lionness, she actually defeated Bramo, Garyhotin, Gallhart, Dinadan, Bruno, Sagrame, and Dodinas of Gaines with just one gun.

There were even famous knights such as King Angwithi of Ireland, King Carados of Scotland, King Julian of Gore, and King Bagdimagus.

It is also said that there was another time when she was competing with King Arthur on horseback with a spear, and because of her heroic fighting posture, the king praised her as the “Raging Wolf”. She was definitely a hero famous for her spear skills.

“Gareth, the seventh Knight of the Round Table! I must show my true strength here! Kill the enemy! I am a wolf! My spear is the fang that kills! Go!”

The two Knights of the Round Table charged at the two twin enemies, and the two twin enemies relied on the power of gravity and repulsion to continuously flip and fly in the air. Seeing the two people coming out like them, they pushed each other and flashed in two directions, and Bedivere and Gareth also flashed a smile. Now is the necessary time!

Or perhaps they had anticipated such a situation from the beginning, so the two of them charged forward in an alternating motion and did not directly launch their attacks. Now that their targets had been swapped, their respective enemies were still in the air and had not landed. They were basically sitting ducks!

The spear in Gareth’s hand continuously attacks the enemy in mid-air. As the girl’s treasure, it is also a power evolved from skills. After launching continuous attacks like raging waves, she pierces the enemy with a fatal blow.

Its name is, “【Violent Wolf Girl】!”

As Gareth’s spear pierced through the enemy, Bedivere’s arm, which was shining with light, also burst out with its own power. The true form of this silver arm was the holy sword that had not been returned. “Noble Phantasm Activation – My arm, tear everything apart! Flash – Silver Arm!!”

The silver arm was like a sword, slashing directly into the body of the target in front of it, then quickly slid to the side, and powerful force burst out from the wound.

The yellow gem buried in the bodies of the twin enemies was directly broken under the joint attack of the two. One of the gems was directly pierced, and the other gem was cut into two pieces.

So far, the four Knights of the Round Table have won all their battles against the newly created Knights of the Lord of Death.

Gawain looked at the prison in front of him that had been destroyed beyond recognition by his sword and could not help but frown. He had to admit that the guy in front of him who had no ability to survive was the number one person in his impression.

While Gawain was looking at the woman, the woman was also looking at the knight in front of her. She didn’t have much meat in her stockpile, but she could still fight this guy for a while, and maybe wait until the king sent other beings to support her.

Chapter 270: Rotating Sword of Victory

However, having said that, if possible, it would be a good idea to put an end to this battle and for both sides to stop fighting temporarily. After all, I don’t want to consume all the meat paste that I have accumulated with great difficulty to form a new body so quickly. On the other hand, the guy in front of me doesn’t want to make a mistake and get injured in the next battle.

“Let’s stop here. You can’t destroy me in a short time, and my teammates will definitely get here before you use up my reserves. At that time, you will definitely die! Why don’t we each take a step back now? I’ll let you leave here, and you’ll just pretend that I don’t exist. From now on, you go your way and I’ll go mine. How do you do that?”

The woman’s body slowly emerged from a pile of flesh paste. The expression on her face was self-evident and showed confidence in her strong ability to survive. Her tone did not sound like a negotiation, but rather like she was stating a fact.

It seemed that in the eyes of this woman, this was a win-win result, but unfortunately, Gawain did not think so. Gawain glanced at the rising sun behind him and raised his holy sword.

“I have already introduced myself at the beginning. My name is Gawain, the Knight of the Round Table. After hearing this name, don’t you understand what I am waiting for?”

The woman’s eyes suddenly widened. She thought of the legends and stories about the knight named Gawain in the legend of King Arthur! Because the knight in front of her had been fighting her with fire all along, she had forgotten that the knight had told her his name at the beginning.

Gawain, the Knight of the Round Table, a knight blessed by the saint!

This is also the origin of Gawain’s skill [Number of the Saint]. This is Gawain’s special physique. From 9 am to noon for 3 hours, and from 3 pm to sunset for 3 hours, the power he possesses will be tripled, which is represented by the Celtic sacred number 3.

Gawain felt the magic power surging in his body and pointed the sword in his hand at the woman in front of him. “I feel embarrassed that the battle with you has dragged on for so long, but now it’s time to decide the outcome with one strike!”

Now Gawain was sure that he could burn all the remaining meat paste at once. The reason he had not done so before was that he was worried that the woman in front of him would be able to hide and escape because of the remaining meat paste.

In order not to let the guy in front of him go, Gawain has thought of various consequences and possibilities. Although fighting with this existence for so long may make him seem a little unworthy of his reputation, compared to their current reputation, it is more important not to let the enemy have a chance to escape.

What was the reputation of these knights? Was the reputation of a king important? They were all dead anyway, and being criticized by others for not living up to their reputation would not affect the glorious legend they created during their lifetime, unless someone completely changed the legend and gave them an additional skill of being an innocent monster.

In short, the most critical thing is to prevent the enemy from escaping and causing greater losses.

“Alright, now you will face my full strength! Are you ready?!”

This time it was the woman who felt panic. She quickly controlled her body to turn into meat paste and merged with other bloody meat pastes. Then she quickly rushed in one direction. Now she no longer planned to stay here. She originally planned to use this place as her base, but now it was more important to survive.

From the moment the knight in front of her raised the holy sword high in his hand, she felt the danger from this knight that she had not felt before. But after realizing that the knight in front of her had been letting her go all the time, she felt angry at being toyed with by this guy, but also somewhat fortunate that she was still alive.

It was good that I didn’t use my full strength. Not using my full strength gave me the chance to escape. Damn it, why did this guy in front of me suddenly burst out with a power that made me feel terrified, as if I was burned by flames. The flames that were wrapped around the knight’s sword before would not make me have such a feeling.

“Holy Sword, Release!”

Gawain threw the holy sword in his hand into the sky, and a huge magic circle like the sun bloomed under his feet. The holy sword thrown into the sky seemed to give birth to a sun floating in the air as it rotated.

“This sword is a replica of the sun! The sun flame of purification that burns away all impurities – [Sword of Rotating Victory]!”

As the sun magic circle under his feet finally came into harmony, the moment of rotation in the sky fell back into his hands. Gawain stared at the front, then swung the holy sword in his hand forward, and the flames spread forward completely, covering the entire prison.

The woman had already prepared for a powerful attack, but after discovering that it was just a small flame, she couldn’t help but stick her head out of the meat paste and laughed.

Little did they know that this was just a prelude to determining the scope of the Noble Phantasm.

Before the woman could even laugh, powerful flames and heat rushed up from the ground into the sky. In just a moment, the woman’s expression was as if the pause button had been pressed. Even the surrounding meat paste had all its moisture evaporated in an instant. When the dazzling fire flashed by, the next moment all that was left was black charcoal on the ground.

Not only had the woman been transformed into an abnormal life form, but the gems in her body had also turned into charcoal.

Gawain watched everything in front of him gradually drift away with the wind, he breathed a sigh of relief, and finally turned around and walked in another direction. Now he still remembered the special aura he had discovered and which direction it went. Thinking about it carefully, that direction seemed to be the area that Mordred was responsible for investigating.

In a new prison, the Lord of the Undead once again took out the gem in his hand, ready to repeat the same trick in the prison. However, when he announced all the rules and was about to leave, the gate leading to the outside was directly destroyed by a red thunder.

“Haha! Didn’t I tell you that I felt an extremely dangerous aura underground? See, this is what you call normal.”

A girl with golden hair and fashionable clothes walked in first, followed by the person in charge of the prison. The person in charge had been saying that there would be absolutely no problem with the underground facilities, but now he was stunned when he saw the problem.
