353.Chapter 351: 350 How come you’re everywhere, you’re immodest?
Chapter 351 350.How come you’re everywhere, immodest Avalon!
The situation of the Cthulhu Knight is not normal, and the young Count of Sheridan has also noticed this, but as a “senior” figure in the line of Grail Knights, Kudel the Protector of the People has already assured that this kind of “bewilderment” is quite normal.
When he drank the water of the Holy Grail and became the “Ranger of Nantes”, he was also bewitched for several months before he recovered.
According to Kudel, this is a necessary stage after “touching sacred objects and being given the power of the oath”, and as far as he knows, several Grail Knights in history also had similar experiences.
He didn’t see it as a problem.
Because the power to guide the mind to “realize” the nature of the world and the Oath does not leave any after-effects, but the current situation of the Knight of Valand is clearly different in the eyes of the “professionals”.
Even if we don’t mention the fact that Murphy, who was playing the opening battle with the Cthulhu Knights, was able to mobilize the poisonous Departure Omega, which only reacts to subspace power, there were some people on the sidelines who could see through the truth of the so-called “Divine Revelation of the Knights of the Holy Grail”.
“You should really bring him here, this is a big problem, don’t listen to Kudel’s nonsense. That guy doesn’t even face subspace, and his willpower of not drinking more than a sip of blood after being a vampire for more than a hundred years is a rarity in the whole world.
Knight Valander is not as good as him in this regard, if you keep dragging this on, I don’t know how much of your Vulture Knight’s mind will be transformed by this kind of myth.
Or worse, how much ‘stuff’ of his own he’ll be left with.”
In the “VIP seat”, Archduke Tris, who had come to watch the Championships in disguise, took a sip from her elven flask and whispered to little Sherron, who was seated beside her:
“Although I don’t really understand how believable the various legends about the Holy Grail circulating on this continent are, what I can be sure of is that the emergence of that thing has something to do with the gods. And the source point of the initial birth of deities are in subspace, that is to say, all the deities currently known on the continent actually have a certain ‘subspace essence’.
That thing is fatal in every sense of the word to life in the material world.”
As the most outstanding theologian and historian on the continent, Tris was quite confident when it came to her field, as she explained to the several subordinates beside her who were listening with their ears perked up:
“Back in the days when I was still called the ‘Scarlet Witch’ and spreading myself around the continent in all sorts of ways, I had spent several decades studying the religions and their followers across the continent in depth.
I found that the more fanatical those were the easier it was to be influenced by the gods they believed in through faith as a conduit, ultimately changing the way they viewed the world becoming more and more stubborn and difficult to communicate with.
It’s a little blasphemous to say this, but considering we’re all vampires, we can speak freely about our beliefs.
You may wish to consider the difference between the fanatics of the churches and the incorrigible cultists. I believe you all have a clear answer in your mind, there is no difference between these two sides in terms of behavior and thinking patterns, except for whether or not they are certain of their own righteousness.
That is what happens when a believer is tempted to be influenced by the subspace nature of the deity.
To put it bluntly, believers in that situation no longer have the ability to think normally; their minds and spirits have been distorted by the influence of subspace, and underneath their shells exist incomplete and strange souls.
That was the future that would surely come to the Cthulhu Knights if they continued to be bewitched.
But fortunately, there’s still little Murphy who can help him dispel this myth.”
Tris narrowed her eyes as she looked down at Murphy and Valander, who had already begun swinging their fists back and forth in the ring below, and she whispered:
“Little Murphy carries a secret about the power of subspace, not that he won’t share it with me, I reckon he might not be quite sure where that power originates from himself.”
“Murphy told me about it.”
Missy whispered next to him:
“He said that this power only works on subspace contaminants, and looking at the thin layer of residual light wrapped around his fist, it’s obvious that that power had been activated when he faced the Valander Knight in his ‘bewitched’ state.
As far as I can see, he can ignore any resistance in this state and inflict indescribably real kills on things lured by subspace, it’s almost as if it’s a suppressive power specialized for subspace.
It was hard for me to understand how such a power could appear in a vampire.
Murphy suffers terribly whenever he uses this power…”
“All power comes at a price.”
Tris said as she waved her hand:
“At the moment, it seems that the mysterious power Murphy possesses doesn’t have any additional burden or effect on him other than the pain he feels as well as the exhaustion of expending it several times over, which is kind of skewed.”
“Then according to you guys, the so-called ‘Blessing of the Holy Grail’ isn’t a good thing either huh?”
A worried-looking Yukaren whispered:
“But the Forest Grail has been semi-permanently placed in the Ancestral Woodlands, will it continue to tempt others as if it turned Valander into another person?”
“No, it won’t, don’t worry.”
Tris explained patiently:
“According to my observations over the years, something like the Holy Grail represents an oath and a trial, it doesn’t just react to anyone who touches it, and judging from Kudel’s and Valander’s cases, only those who originally possessed some kind of strong trait can trigger the Holy Grail’s trial.
Knight Valander’s method of obtaining the Holy Grail Vow belonged to ‘trickery’.
Don’t forget that the first cup of holy water generated by the Forestwood Chalice after it was dug up was originally supposed to be drunk by President Natalie, it was simply gifted by Natalie to Valander, and the guardian heart Valander possessed happened to be enough to be recognized by the Holy Grail.
It was a low probability event.
From that point of view, perhaps Kudel’s previous relief wasn’t nonsense.
If it was Natalie who drank the water of the Holy Grail, her situation shouldn’t be this bad.
But after this is over, I have to personally go to the Ancestor’s Woodland to see that Woodland Grail with my own eyes, ah, if I had known that there was a Holy Grail buried under the Great Transylvanian Ground, I wouldn’t have had to go all the way to the Antani region to look for the elfin legend’s Holy Grail back in the day.
You don’t know what I suffered on that trip.
I want to cry when I think about it now.
Those damn elf barbarians are not enthusiastic at all, not just want to sneak into their elf court’s moon treasury to study the Moonlight Holy Grail? As for the big druid, the moon saint and the ranger generals to chase me, chased me half a continent before letting me use a trick of woe to attract the east to successfully break out.
Then I heard that the Wolfsbane Clan got three cities in a row because of that, tsk, tsk, I suddenly feel that Old Edward’s malice towards me isn’t empty.”
Hearing this “old man”, Tris, talk about what happened hundreds of years ago, the “youngsters” beside her all rolled their eyes.
Good guy, you have run to the spring of other people’s base to ride the face output, and still blame other people to send out the top war power to beat you? So it’s all the fault of the elves, and you, the Scarlet Witch, are pure and flawless.
Hey, Tris, back then, your outlook on the world of explosions was also quite explosive.
Leaving aside Tris’s side, in the big boxing ring of the Fight Club, the opening match between Murphy and Valander Knight has entered the climax stage.
Originally, the audience thought that the Governor himself to fight the opening battle is just a walk in the park, this thing must be “scripted”, so that everyone can watch a fun also on the line. But after Murphy and the Vulture Knights really went at it, everyone suddenly realized, crap!
This is not an act!
These two people are playing for real!
Lord Murphy used the Thorn Clan’s Midnight Assassination Technique’s Close Combat Fist to start the fight, like a ghost asking for his life to go straight to the Vulture Knight’s neck that was thicker than an ordinary person’s thigh, and the Vulture Knight’s response was not inferior to the Governor’s Assassination Fist at all.
Even though he didn’t use a weapon but just his bare hands, the “Sea Beast Fist of Fury”, which was secretly passed down by the barbarian berserkers from Western Sahara, was still enough to crack mountains and rocks.
The former was the best assassination technique of the vampire clan, and the latter was a set of brutal and effective punches summarized by the barbarian warriors who had fought against the mysterious sea beasts in the Frozen Sea for many years.
The first collision made the ring was cracked, in Valander’s heavy fist hit the earth, and even broke out in the hot-blooded fighting manga only brick and stone splash scene, which let the audience erupted into a shocking noise, also let the surrounding those “know how to do it” guys stared wide-eyed and let out a shocked gasp. “Crap! Whale-killing Fist!”
Extremely unique bald vampire martial arts monks chenmai giant shark people although upside down a little bit, but barely a semi-professional, in the sight of Valander knight a fist tamping broken floor when suddenly excited eyes light, get up and exclaimed:
“That’s how strong and powerful we martial arts practitioners should be! So by brushing the reputation of the mountain people, we can learn this world’s best skill? Why didn’t you guys say so earlier? I giant shark this martial arts genius from today onwards will be worshipped under the mountain people, not to learn this set of invincible fist will never come out of the mountain ah!”
“Shame on you! Don’t be crazy here, sit down!”
Sitting in the back row of the student party immediately upset seven hands and eight feet to the disgraceful giant shark uncle back to the seat, and as a real “professionals”, sister pomegranate and his own brother looked at each other, they suddenly realized that their understanding of the various boxing schools on this continent is only on the surface at the moment.
Despite having unlocked the way of the Sanshou Sect martial arts monks from the Kudel Knights, it seems that the techniques of melee combat on this continent have developed to the point where they have blossomed into a multitude of different styles.
“When did Murphy learn the Midnight Assassination Technique?”
At the VIP seat, the equally astonished Count Andre turned his head and said to Vesta, who had already stood up:
“I knew he could do the sword technique in the Assassination Technique, but how did he even learn the Assassination Fist? And also so skillful, could this guy really be a genius among vampires just like Tris?”
“Watch his claws, master.”
Vesta purposely reminded this time:
“We were defeated by Lord Murphy’s special weapon before, and although the Assassination Fist he’s using now is from the Thorn Clan, he’s obviously made some improvements to it for use in a way that better suits his Dark Night Sharp Claws.
So whether His Excellency the Governor is a genius or not I don’t know, but he is certainly extremely good at adapting to local conditions.”
“I’ve asked my ancestors.”
Andre narrowed his eyes and looked down at Murphy, who had already pressed down on the Valander Knights and beat them up, and he was deeply impressed by the depth of this peer whom he regarded as a “growth target”, so he shook his head and said:
“Grand Duke Shani told me that Murphy’s claws originated from the deep excavation of the sacred blood inheritance, and he has already excelled in the release of racial potential even before he opened the Silver Trial, which is definitely an extremely special situation.
This guy is really not to be underestimated.”
“Master Murphy’s rate of progress is still so fast, compared to him, I’m too obsessed with my duties and neglected to explore my power.”
In another box, Maxim looked at his hands with great remorse.
Thinking back to the night when he had made a vow to become Murphy’s Sword, and then looking at the fact that nowadays, even his own master could easily suppress a powerful Grail Knight in a head-on battle, it caused the pressure in Maxim’s heart to skyrocket.
However, beside him, Lady Leonia, who had been invited to watch the battle, frowned.
She surveyed Murphy’s oozing but strong dark claws constantly pulling out blood marks on the Valander Knight’s robust torso, and after a few seconds of contemplation, she twisted her head to look at Maxim and said:
“If I remember correctly, you seem to have claws like that as well, but I’ve never seen you use them whenever we spar?”
“That’s a blood grant from Master Murphy, a reward he bestows on his loyalists.”
Maxim explained in a matter-of-fact tone:
“The Dark Claw is powerful, but I haven’t learned to use it properly yet, and since we’re sparring and not fighting for our lives, there’s no need to utilize something that could get someone killed if we’re not careful.”
“You actually hid a hand?”
Ms. Laneia said with a rather irritated cross of her arms:
“Do I need you to let me? You sly Transylvanian barbarian, I want to see the sharp claws of a blood vulture the next time we spar”
“Well, if you’re not afraid of pain.”
Maxim shrugged and said no more but returned his attention to the ring.
Valander Knight was still attacking with his explosive and destructive Sea Beast Fist, but against Murphy’s ghost-like left and right horizontal jumps and back and forth piercing stabbing style, he was clearly at a disadvantage in the confrontation.
But this is not to say that Valander Knight is inferior to Murphy in terms of melee combat attainments.
After all, there is a big difference between the two, even if there is a difference in skills, it should not fall into the current situation.
The real problem was the purifying spiritual energy wrapped around Murphy’s claws, which gave the Vale Knight a whole lot of work the first time he struck him.
It was as if a bomb had been detonated on a spiritual level.
When it made a “big hole” in the Vulture Knight’s mind, it also made him enter the state of “being purified”, and the tearing sensation on the mind level was transmitted to Valander’s body, making his attack and defense completely out of shape, and the seductive phantom sound from the power of the Holy Grail resonated with the “psychic bomb” that Murphy continuously detonated. The sound of seduction from the power of the Holy Grail and Murphy’s constant “mind bombs” made it difficult for him to accurately capture the latter’s figure.
This is the same as in the beginning of the battle was put on a “confusion” debuff, the kind of hit -100%.
Luckily, the Knight of the Vulture only touched the Holy Grail instead of facing the Subspace Shadow, which allowed him to be suppressed by the Omega antivirus program to a much lesser extent than the four unlucky Chaos Swordsmen before him.
Those four guys couldn’t even fight back in front of the “open” Murphy.
In fact, if you think about it, this Omega antivirus program is really quite buggy, when fighting against Salok Dar, it can let Murphy easily break the defense of a gold-ranked powerhouse, and now it is used to deal with a just-transformed Grail Knight is not a handful of things to do?
“Poof!”
At the final moment when the fight lasted for several minutes and made a mess of the entire ring, Murphy’s figure jumped out of the flowing mist and climbed onto the back of the Pale Vulture Knight like a nimble monkey.
The claws of the darkness pierced forward and lifted two inches towards the back of his heart, transforming the deadly attack into a “severe punishment”.
As the claws of the Dark Night pierced into the flesh, the Knight of the Vulture let out a cry of pain, and his body, which was as tall as a giant’s, half-kneeled on the ground as if it was crumbling.
The incongruous calmness in his eyes was completely torn apart, causing the rough hombre to curse in pain at this moment:
“Avalon’s big foot ah! That one really hurt can’t you be a little bit fucking gentle?”
“Would a lighter blow have cured you of your bewilderment? You do not look at your situation, your wife is about to give birth to a child, this time you choose to convert to the faith? Are you planning to cause a tragedy that will separate your wife and child?
I’d like to think that I punched you lightly, and Mrs. Sunny should give me a one-ton medal for that.”
With a swish, Murphy unsheathed his Dark Sharp Claws and jumped in front of the teeth-baring Valander Knight again, addressing the giant-like hillbilly man:
“But luckily, thanks to Dr. Murphy’s wonderful hands, you’re finally saved, you’re welcome.”
“Thanks are still due, you pulled me back from that horrible summoning.”
The Pale Vulture Knight sighed, covered in blood he gratefully glanced at Murphy, who was also white from the sting of the purifying psychic energy, and he said:
“But those things weren’t really for me to see, Murphy, Avalon wanted you to see those things that I was just a carrier of the Word of the Gods, in other words, I was implicated by you.
Hell, you were supposed to be the one who drank the water of the Holy Grail that night.”
He held out his hand, a cloud of scattered shimmering light floating in the center of it.
He spoke to Murphy:
“Take a look, I think you need to see it, Avalon informed me of the secret of the Grail, and He wants you to know more.”
