Chapter 102: Crushing Hilna’s Pride
“Seventh-rank, Holy Shield!”
Sensing that something was wrong, Kailson immediately cast a seventh-rank magic for defense.
For someone of his level, chanting a seventh-rank magic was only an instant matter.
But to chant an eighth-rank magic, even the simplest one, would take a few seconds, which was too long for a battle that changed in an instant.
Even now, he couldn’t understand why Kailun could burst out with such terrifying power within his Great Silence Spell. Judging from the speed at which the other party dodged the first wave of eighth-rank blue flames, Kailun clearly had the strength of an eighth-rank.
‘How is this possible?’
‘Was I mistaken? He clearly only felt like a first-rank before?’
‘Could it be that this isn’t Kailun?’
“Bang!”
While he was thinking, the Holy Son’s face had already slammed hard against his shield, and along with the Holy Son’s big face came the blood from his nose.
“Crack!”
The immense force caused fine cracks to appear on the seventh-rank Holy Shield.
Kailson didn’t have time to think too much and immediately added a new magic shield.
“It seems that the Holy Son’s head is quite hard, it didn’t even break after being smashed like this.”
As Kailun spoke, the unconscious Holy Son was casually thrown to the ground.
He didn’t kill the Holy Son, after all, the other party was one of his sources of power.
“Who are you?” Kailson looked at Kailun outside the magic shield with a stern old face.
While asking the question, he didn’t forget to add magic shields to himself.
In less than three seconds, he could cast a simple eighth-rank shield to protect himself.
“You don’t even recognize me, then I have to introduce myself.”
Kailun played with the dagger and twirled it: “The person standing in front of you now is the son of Duke Kuhl of the Kingdom of Xiya, the king of the Kingdom of Xiya, Kailun.”
As he spoke, Kailun, who had finished charging up, stabbed Kailson’s magic shield with the dagger and pierced his abdomen.
Kailson: “???”
The eighth-rank magic was broken just like that?
Looking down at the dagger in his abdomen, he was plunged into great terror.
Although he didn’t understand why Kailun didn’t directly stab his heart or head, the power to directly destroy the eighth-rank shield showed that Kailun had the strength to defeat an eighth-rank head-on.
The huge contrast brought by reality made Kailson not dare to stay any longer, he immediately mobilized his magic power to cast short-distance teleportation magic.
“Tele…”
“Pfft!”
As soon as Kailson finished saying the word “tele”, Kailun twisted the dagger in his hand half a circle and interrupted his spellcasting: “Did I allow you to teleport? As a mage, you don’t throw magic at me from a distance, but instead, you come within ten meters of me to act arrogantly, do you think you’re invincible?”
Pulling out the dagger, Kailun used the Holy Son’s magic-suppressing chain to tie Kailson up. The whole process was completed by the time he finished speaking.
Just as Kailun said, if Kailson had stood a little further away, even he would have found it troublesome.
After properly adding points, his attributes could be comparable to an eighth-rank, but his actual strength was not necessarily the same.
It was like having magic power but not being able to cast high-level magic. Kailun lacked the relevant knowledge reserves of the seventh and eighth ranks.
In fact, his current total attribute points couldn’t surpass Kailson’s. The reason why he was able to achieve such a huge suppression was entirely due to the extreme point allocation.
During the fight just now, Kailun had allocated most of his attributes to agility and strength, with a small portion allocated to the necessary physique.
In this way, he was able to approach Kailson at an extremely fast speed and shatter his shield with immense strength.
It was a bit risky, but fortunately, it succeeded.
Thanks to the attribute points given by the Holy Son, the Holy Son had contributed greatly to capturing Kailson.
After this battle, Kailun also gained something. When in doubt, add all the points to strength. What he wanted was the effect of overwhelming all methods with sheer force.
At the same time, he had to thank Kailson for the Great Silence Spell. Because of the existence of the Great Silence Spell, the Holy Son, who was close to the peak of the seventh rank, became useless, saving him a lot of trouble.
Because Kailson and the Holy Son surrendered too quickly, he didn’t even have time to use many of his other methods.
“Run, run now!”
Sensing the dissipation of the Great Silence Spell, Harry immediately took out the teleportation scroll and wanted to take Paul and run away.
Previously, because of the existence of the Great Silence Spell, no one other than Kailson could use teleportation.
If Kailson had the upper hand, then they naturally didn’t need to teleport, but if Kailson lost, the Great Silence Spell would naturally disappear, and they would be able to find an opportunity to teleport and run away.
The guess in his heart was confirmed, Harry’s mind was clear and refreshed.
He knew it, if Kailun was defeated so easily, then he wouldn’t be called Kailun.
And he didn’t lose anything. If one Kailson was defeated, there would be another Kailson, but the defeated Kailson had fulfilled him and Paul.
Anyway, this blame could be perfectly shifted, and he could also unlock new positions. All things considered, he had made a profit.
However, just as Harry was happy about this, he saw Kailun’s figure turn into a black shadow and rush towards Paul.
Without thinking too much, Harry directly stood in front of Paul and continued to activate the teleportation scroll.
Harry didn’t know if it was an illusion, but after he stood in front of Paul, Kailun’s speed actually slowed down.
It was precisely because of Kailun’s slowed speed that Paul reacted. He quickly pushed Harry’s body and said, “What are you doing? Get out of the way!”
Harry looked at Paul’s face with a relieved smile: “Maybe I can’t accompany you any longer, you are really talented. I hope you can still remember me in the future, at least…”
“Pfft!”
Before Harry could finish his words, there was the sound of a dagger piercing flesh. A sharp pain came from behind him, Kailun’s dagger had already pierced his body.
Was it his heart or his lungs that were stabbed?
It didn’t matter anymore, he probably wouldn’t have a chance to live.
He endured the pain and hugged Paul, a white light took them away from this place.
“No!”
Before teleporting, Kailun heard Paul’s painful cry.
[Paul thinks that you killed his lover. Favorability dropped below the threshold. Favorability -2, Total favorability -101. Obtained 101% feedback of Paul’s attribute points at the corresponding time point.]
[Achievement unlocked: Destiny’s Doll. Effect: Greatly increased resistance to destiny magic.]
[Obtained talent: Attribute Carnival.]
[Attribute Carnival: You can give your attribute points to others in proportion. This giving will not reduce your attribute points. Current remaining quota: 100%
PS: The recipient cannot be yourself. If the recipient has a favorability relationship with the host, it will still be calculated according to the original power feedback.]
“Tsk, what a pity.”
Looking at the last note, Kailun clicked his tongue and felt extremely regretful.
This time’s talent was very different from the last time’s talent. Last time, it was temporarily storing his attribute points in other people’s bodies, this time it was purely giving.
The more he understood this world, the more Kailun found that the word “destiny” appeared more and more frequently.
The people related to destiny were the Fox Spirit, Isabella, and Paul, who was called the protagonist of destiny.
Combined with the talents and achievements related to destiny, it was hard not to suspect that the word “destiny” was related to some important major events.
As for Paul’s feedback, it was a bit unsatisfactory, barely reaching the late seventh-rank, a little weaker than the Holy Son.
When he died in his previous life, Carol had already reached the ninth-rank and become the World-Ending Witch, while Paul, who was at the seventh-rank, was still acting arrogantly in the Kingdom of Xiya.
He couldn’t understand what qualifications Paul had to be the protagonist of destiny besides luck.
Wait!
Suddenly, Kailun’s gaze drifted to the Holy Son, who had woken up and was activating the teleportation scroll.
A flash of inspiration, Kailun noticed some key information.
If he remembered correctly, it was time for the Holy Son to be replaced shortly after his death. Was it possible that Paul had reached the eighth or ninth rank with the resources of the Temple of the Heavenly God…
To verify his guess, Kailun didn’t choose to interrupt the Holy Son’s teleportation.
Resources like leeks would grow on their own, it didn’t matter whether he kept them or not.
If Paul could really reach the eighth or ninth rank, he would have to thank the Holy Son, after all, he could now get a 101% bonus from Paul.
Walking unhurriedly to Kailson’s side, Kailun heard him questioning Chrissy: “Why didn’t you help me untie the magic-suppressing chain? Are you really a traitor to the Temple of the Heavenly God?”
Facing this question, Chrissy didn’t choose to answer. She looked at Kailun waving at her and ran over quickly, even happily nuzzling into Kailun’s arms.
Kailson: “…….”
Chrissy was indeed a traitor, Harry and the others didn’t lie to him.
In the end, the Holy Son and Paul had all run away, leaving him alone to be captured. Kailson felt like he was a big fool.
“Isn’t this the eighth-rank Kailson? Why are you tied up?”
Kailun put his arm around Chrissy’s waist and walked up to Kailson.
Compared to killing him, Kailun was more willing to keep him as a laborer. It would be a pity if such a useful eighth-rank died so easily.
“You will pay a heavy price for being an enemy of the Temple of the Heavenly God.” Kailson looked at Kailun fiercely.
Kailun: “Are these the only words you people from the Temple of the Heavenly God know? Forget it, why am I talking so much to you? Let me think about how to threaten you. Right, I remember you value your descendants very much, then I have to start with them.”
Hearing this, Kailson’s eyes widened, he ignored the pain in his abdomen and took a step forward: “What do you want to do to them?”
“Don’t misunderstand, I just want to invite them over as guests, but in your name.” Kailun put his arm around Chrissy and took a step back.
It wasn’t because he was worried that Kailson would jump over the wall in desperation, but because he had to leave space for someone to search Kailson.
“What do you mean? What are you trying to do?” Just as Kailson wanted to ask, a group of male knights suddenly pounced on him and pinned him to the ground.
“What are you doing? Don’t poke my wound, ah!”
“Bastard, I told you not to poke, but you still poke with your fingers, you are demons!”
“Don’t pull my pants down, are you devils?”
“Don’t pinch that thing, I was wrong, I was wrong, okay?”
“…”
Looking at the male knights who were pouncing on Kailson and searching him, Kailun took Chrissy and retreated several steps.
Could it be that these knights were the former subordinates of the Second Prince?
It was too strange, he really had to replace all the guards with people from the Silver Moon Knights.
Half a minute later, a knight handed Kailun a simple communication device.
Waving away the knights who wanted to “overthrow” and bully the eighth-rank boss, Kailun modified Kailson’s communication device while saying:
“I wonder how many days it will take for me to use your communication device to inform your family to move to the Kingdom of Xiya?”
Kailson, whose clothes were tattered: “Impossible, even I can’t do such a thing, how could you possibly modify the communication device? Once this thing is bound, no one else can use it.”
As he was speaking, Kailson saw that Kailun was already writing a magic letter.
Continuing to look down, Kailun not only successfully activated the communication device, but also successfully sent the magic letter.
Kailson: “Can you pretend that I didn’t say anything just now? I mean we can talk.”
Kailun put away the communication device: “It doesn’t matter, let’s talk after your family arrives. If there’s anything we can’t agree on, I’ll just chop off a few heads to vent my anger. Don’t worry, I’m a very kind person, I won’t kill easily unless there’s an accident. Someone, drag Kailson down and keep a good eye on him. Oh, and remember to find a mage to heal him.”
After having someone drag Kailson away and lock him up, Kailun turned his gaze to the frontal battlefield, where the battle was nearing its end.
He didn’t know if it was because the Temple of the Heavenly God was too weak, but Kailun always felt that something was missing.
“Come out, everyone. The matter has been resolved, the Kingdom of Malaga has been incorporated into the territory of the Kingdom of Xiya, the whole process took less than seven days.”
When the camp lit up the magic lamps again, Afra and the others walked out of the mobile palace.
Most of them looked at Kailun with strange eyes.
An eighth-rank at the age of fifteen, this was something unheard of in history, Kailun had once again created a new miracle.
“Although you won, you still have to sleep on the floor tonight.”
These were the first words Afra said when she saw Kailun.
“I know, I’ll listen to you.” Facing Afra’s rare dominance, Kailun chose to obey.
Afra nodded in satisfaction. Under Kailun’s puzzled gaze, she pushed Princess Hilna into his arms: “Good job, this is the horse I’m giving you.”
Kailun: “What do you mean?”
Afra: “The princess made a bet with me that you couldn’t defeat Kailson. She lost, and the price is to be your horse.”
“Can I ride her however I want?” Kailun asked again.
Afra: “… It’s a horse for travel.”
Kailun: “What a pity.”
Listening to their conversation, Hilna, who was lying in Kailun’s arms, wanted to bang her head against Kailun’s chest.
She didn’t understand why Kailun had won.
Even in the face of the invincible eighth-rank, he had won. Because of the bet, she had even lost her last shred of dignity.
She had a premonition that she would lose something important tonight.
……
“Cough!”
In a valley far away from the capital, Harry coughed up another mouthful of blood.
“Harry, I’m sorry, it’s all because I’m too weak, it’s all my fault…”
Paul placed Harry on a large rock to lean on, he looked at the pale Harry with a sad face and cried.
“Actually, I… I still have…”
Feeling that his heart hadn’t been pierced, Harry felt that he could still be saved.
If it weren’t for the poison on the dagger affecting his magic power circulation, he would be able to cast healing magic to treat himself.
“Stop talking, I know you’re unwilling, I will definitely avenge you.”
Paul covered Harry’s mouth with his hand, preventing him from saying anything more.
He was so anxious that he didn’t even think too much. Looking at Harry who was about to die, his brain was completely short-circuited.
In his opinion, Harry was already at the end of his rope and would die soon. In order to let him live a little longer, Paul had to try his best to make him talk less.
Paul tried his best to activate the third-rank healing magic, but facing Harry’s serious injury, the third-rank magic simply couldn’t work.
“Sob…”
Harry pointed at Paul with one finger and grabbed Paul’s hand with the other.
He was about to be pissed off by Paul, he really could still be saved, as long as he bandaged the wound and stopped the bleeding, he could live a little longer.
Under the dual effects of anger and excessive blood loss, Harry tilted his head and fainted.
“No!”
A cry of pain echoed through the valley, Paul was heartbroken.
Five minutes later, Paul wiped away his tears and took out the scroll that Harry had given him from his arms.
This was a special scroll, engraved with a very unique magic circle. It had no rank, but the conditions for activation were extremely harsh.
Harry told him two paths, one was to gain the trust of the Holy Son, obtain the identity of a Holy Son candidate, and wait for three years to become the next Holy Son.
The other was to use special methods to kill the Holy Son, seize his body, and inject his soul into the Holy Son’s body to obtain a new identity.
There was a lot of dense and complex knowledge in it that Paul couldn’t understand now. In his opinion, this was a very rare taboo scroll.
“Who?!”
After an unknown amount of time, a rustling sound came from the bushes in the distance.
Paul quickly hid the scroll in his arms and looked towards the bushes vigilantly.
In the night, he saw a person in a blue robe carrying a fat man running over from afar.
“Eh? Why did you run faster than us? Where are Master Kailson and His Holiness the Holy Son?”
After approaching, Justin looked at Paul with a strange expression.
Paul: “Master Kailson was captured by Kailun, the Holy Son’s life or death is unknown.”
“No, Kailson, an eighth-rank, can still be captured by Kailun, are you sure you’re not lying to me?” Justin had imagined many possibilities, but he never thought that Kailson would be captured by Kailun.
Could it be that Kailson was also a traitor?
The more he thought about it, the more wrong it felt. Could it be that the Temple of the Heavenly God really had so many traitors?
“Why would I lie to you? Harry was killed by Kailun, why would I lie to you!”
Paul looked at Harry on the rock with a painful expression.
“What do you mean dead? Isn’t he still alive?”
Justin threw the obese king to the ground, squatted down next to Harry, and seeing that the other party was seriously injured, he immediately cast healing magic.
Three minutes later, Harry’s wound stopped bleeding, but the poison he was poisoned with couldn’t be removed for the time being, this had to rely on the Holy Son’s holy water.
It wasn’t until Harry’s breathing stabilized that Justin turned his head and looked at Paul with suspicion: “Tell me honestly, are you a traitor? Harry is not dead, but you said he was dead, did you want to secretly kill him? I always felt that something was wrong along the way. It seems that after meeting you, Kailun has been winning all the way. If it’s a coincidence, it’s a bit too much of a coincidence.”
Justin’s gaze at Paul became more and more dangerous. He had become paranoid and would always suspect that his teammates were traitors.
“I’m not a traitor, I’m wholeheartedly devoted to Harry, how could I harm him?” Paul took a step back and shook his head repeatedly.
“Evidence? Quickly show me the evidence that you’re not a traitor, otherwise I will have to use some unnecessary means.”
Justin pressed forward step by step, a small magic circle had already appeared in his palm.
“Stop!”
A weak shout came from the forest.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw the Holy Son, covered in blood, walking out of the shadows: “This is not Paul’s fault, it’s all Kailun’s problem. This devil actually has the strength of an eighth-rank, even Kailson is no match for him. We were tricked, this matter must be immediately reported back to the Temple. In order to rescue the Saint, we have to send someone more powerful.” Joseph covered his leaky mouth and said.
That damned Kailun not only violated his Saint, but also smashed his front teeth.
He remembered this grudge, he would tell the Pope everything Kailun did to Chrissy later.
Hearing the Holy Son’s words, everyone looked at each other in dismay.
After a long time, Justin let out a long sigh of relief and asked, “Is it too late for me to quit the Temple of the Heavenly God now?”
Holy Son: “???”
……
Time came to eleven o’clock at night. At this time, the battle was completely over, even the battlefield had been cleaned up.
Nearly 50,000 people were captured in this battle, further strengthening the mining army.
After briefly arranging the subsequent matters, only Kailun and Hilna were left in the main hall of the Kingdom of Malaga.
Afra and the others had already returned to the mobile palace, and the steward and the captain of the First Knights had also gone down to rest.
“Princess, sit next to me, standing so far away seems too distant.”
Kailun, who was sitting on the throne, patted the seat next to him, signaling Hilna to come over.
The latter bit her lip, lowered her head, and walked over step by step, sitting next to Kailun.
“Smells good, it seems that you have taken a good bath today.”
Kailun lifted Hilna’s hair and sniffed lightly, the fragrance of roses was very alluring.
“Princess, do you still remember the bet we made in the main hall of the Kingdom of Xiya? I said that I would take down the Kingdom of Malaga within a week. Now there is less than an hour left before the week is up, do you think I have already won?”
Kailun lifted Hilna’s smooth chin and made her look up at him.
All the preparations were complete, now was the best time to crush her arrogance.
“You won, you won everything from me.”
Hilna’s eyes were filled with sadness.
Even she didn’t know what she was sad about.
