I, holding a long sword in my hand, only know one move

A huge red sword energy that was about to cut off the sky rose from the ground, followed by earth-shaking shaking.

The loud roar of the dragon resounded through the sky, and Cheng Rang was surprised to see the knight riding a horse soaring in the sky.

"He really didn't lose to Elachim..."

boom! !

Although the tiny figure kept charging towards the giant dragon, it kept being easily smashed into pieces by it.

But with an iron will that would never lose, Lux still got up from the ground again and again.

Although he was dead, Cheng Rang still saw a... shining life.

"So, how can we defeat him?" Cheng Rang looked seriously at the smiling black-haired girl.

"It's very simple, as long as those children realize that the knights they believe in are not invincible."

"...Easier said than done."

Now, the power contained in the sacred finger bone necklace that originally belonged to Father Plamister was fully accepted by Lux.

Moreover, in the land where souls wander and are born, the upward power of children will make this curse even more powerful.

Lux is now a far more difficult boss than Pramister.

How can we change the naive ideas of those children?

Cheng Rang knew that it would be extremely difficult to change a child's fixed thoughts.

"But similarly, children's ideas will also change due to some things that adults can't understand at all." The girl raised her finger with a smile, "For example, adults are not very good at the games that children like to play, right?"

game……? !

Cheng Rang immediately realized: "You mean-"

"Captain, we found a special item here!"

Cheng Rang's words were interrupted by the news from the team, but he didn't mean to blame him at all.

"What did you find? I'll go there immediately."

There is no point in staying in this cave anymore. Now that the way to defeat Lux is known, all he needs to do is find the final puzzle piece.

And this puzzle is probably hidden in the place where Lux and the children once lived together - Gokeyak Village!

Cheng Rang quickly got out of the cave and shouted loudly to Elachim who was fighting with the knight in the distance: "Ella, hold on a little longer! We will find a way to deal with it soon!"

"——Then you better hurry up! This guy is getting stronger and stronger!"

Once again, he slapped Lux ​​away with his claws and spat out the golden color.

The dragon's breath turned it into a statue, and Elachim even panted slightly. Not only was it physically exhausted, but every time Lux stood up again, his strength would be stronger than the last time.

Facing an unbeatable enemy, keep failing and keep getting stronger until you are stronger than the opponent!

By then, I'm afraid even Elachim will no longer be Lux's opponent.

"Captain, this way!"

Chisaki Mori and others were standing in front of the door of a broken house, waving in this direction.

"What did you find?"

"This, but we can't understand the words above." Chisaki Mori quickly handed over a diary.

[Special Item: Old Diary]

Explanation: The above records the diary of children playing in Gokeyak Village.

Although the system's prompt proved that this was a key item, there was only a few words in the explanation. Opening the diary, it was all written with words unique to this world. No wonder Mori Chisaki and others couldn't understand it.

Fortunately, God's Righteous Eye can interpret the text carriers of various types and civilizations. As the blue plural halo emerged and rotated, the meaning of the text came into his mind, and Cheng Rang quickly flipped through the diary in his hand.

At the beginning, the child's immature writing explains the origin of the diary. This is the notebook that Lux received along with the knight's acceptance document from the King's City of Evogel before leaving Gokeyak Village.

Lux left Gokeyak Village with the employment document and chose to meet King Aifoghar. This notebook became a gift he left to his children.

After that, there are simple pictures left in this diary by different children, with a few words written, and even many phonetic patterns similar to pinyin.

Basically, they talk about what everyone plays together every day, who loses and wins, such small things that adults are too lazy to care about.

The most described one among them is a game called "shield, sword, and bow" by children.

Use hand gestures to show the appearance of a shield, sword, and bow. The sword defeats the shield, the shield defeats the bow, and the bow defeats the sword. The outcome is determined by this.

"Isn't this the rock-paper-scissors of another world...?"

Later, Cheng Rang found the memory of one of the children, which should have been some time after Lux left the village.

"Brother Lux has been gone for a long time, and there has been no news from him. Has he forgotten us?"

"I feel very happy when I think of the time when Brother Lux played with us. Among the adults in the village, only Brother Lux was willing to play with us. Everyone liked him very much. This time Brother Lux left the village to become a knight. Then This is the dream he has been telling us all along."

"What is a dream? Brother Lux said that a dream is something that everyone always wants to achieve."

"I think maybe those girls who kept crying because Lux left the village have a dream to have Lux-san come back."

"As for us boys, our dream is to have Brother Lux come back and play shield, sword and bow games with him. Brother Lux will draw the sword every time, and we will laugh at him as a big fool. We have won a lot of candies from him."

"But Brother Lux is always happy even if he loses. He said that only by picking up the sword can a knight protect the people he considers most important."

"Who is the most important person to you, Lux-nii...?"

The readable diary ends here. Although there is still content in the follow-up, it has been contaminated by dirty blood.

Chisaki Mori said that they found the diary under the bed in a house. The diary was among the blood stains on the ground. Although the blood stains have long dried up, the diary has been contaminated.

"That's enough information. I already know how to defeat Lux. Now take this diary and go back to find Elachim."

"Hey, you know? What's written on it?"

Cheng Rang carefully put the diary into his arms and smiled at Mori Chisaki: "It is the children's record of the weaknesses of the strongest knight Lux."

boom! ! !

As a violent shock wave spread, the cliff finally shattered under the load and slid down the hillside. Erachim's dragon roar mixed with the neighing of the knight's horse, and the rising snow mist and dust storm shrouded the entire battlefield in haze.

"You are finally back." Elachim looked back at the team who jumped up the cliff, "Have you found a way?"

"Of course!" Cheng Rang took out the diary from his arms, "The way is to defeat Lux with children's games!"

"Children's play? Are you kidding me!"

"No way...!"

The golden dragon image disappeared, and Elachim transformed into a human again and sat on the ground panting, looking at Cheng Rang who hugged the diary and rushed towards Lux.

"Lux! Do you still remember this diary?"

The knight got up from the ground again, mounted his horse, and charged towards him with his sword as if he didn't hear Cheng Rang's shout.

However, Cheng Rang held up the diary without hesitation and faced Lux's charge.

"See clearly, this is the most precious memory that the children will leave behind after you leave! This is what you have to protect!"

The sword blade that broke through the wind stopped just inches in front of the old cover of the diary as Lux tightened the reins.

This dangerous behavior almost made Chisaki Mori scream out, and he had to cover his mouth hard to keep quiet.

Manic Lux is here

After seeing the diary soaked in blood, he seemed to want to calm down.

The horse under the seat also snorted, put its head close to the diary, smelled it, and then took two steps back with its hooves.

"I said, Lux, let's play a game?"

Cheng Rang made a gesture of preparation, which was the most familiar action that all children remembered from their experiences with Lux.

Without giving Lux any time to react, Cheng Rang immediately announced the start of the game——

"Shield, sword...bow!"

As if the memory was engraved in his muscles, Lux without hesitation raised his middle and index fingers to make a sword gesture just like what was described in the diary.

Cheng Rang made a bow.

It seemed that at this moment, Cheng Rang could also hear the children's cries of regret...

"Wow! Lux-nii, such a big idiot, why does he not hesitate to draw his sword when playing with others? If the opponent draws a bow, he should use a shield to deal with it!"

…

"However, precisely because he can only draw a sword, he is our brother Lux... He is a glorious knight of the King of Evogel. Only by picking up a sword can a knight protect the most important people. This is what he means to That’s what we’ve always said, right?”

"And the most important person, Brother Lux..."

The knight who failed the game temporarily put down the ferocious black giant sword in his hand, and began to reach out and fumble for something in his arms.

Then, with everyone watching in disbelief, a handful of broken and blood-stained candies were taken out from the inside of the tattered windbreaker.

"Now, the most important people to you...are them, right?" Cheng Rang smiled knowingly the moment he saw the candy.

He walked forward slowly and exchanged the diary in his hand for the candy in Lux's hand.

"Unfortunately, Lux, you lost this game."

The invincible knight lost to a stranger while the children watched.

Under everyone's gaze, the health bar that was originally locked by the black frame finally shattered into pieces, turning into colorful streams of light that flew up in the wind.

The "defeated" knight held the blood-stained diary in his arms, dismounted, and lowered his head, as if in silent mourning.

Cheng Rang came to Lux who was kneeling on the ground and said to him: "Although you lost this game, in my heart... no, in the hearts of all the children, the one who dared to face the strongest dragon in the world You wield a sharp blade and are still an invincible knight.”

"May the glory of Alfogel be with you. Even if your wish has long been broken, you are still a veritable hero!"

Gradually, the scarlet light in the knight's eyes extinguished. He maintained the pious posture of holding the diary in his arms, and then turned into ashes, floating in the night sky illuminated by the red moon, along with the black giant sword, and Along with the whining war horses around him.

In the dark, it seems that you can hear the innocent laughter of children, as if they are saying:

"Brother Lux, you are finally back, let's play together!"

…

【——The powerful enemy has been defeated——】

[For defeating a powerful enemy: the cursed hero - Homecoming Knight Lux, I received a 1500 point reward. 】

[Current total score: 2780]

Even the golden system text is different from before. It doesn't mean "kill", but "defeat".

The fog barrier that shrouded Gokeyak Village and the cliff snow peaks dissipated. Along with the collapsed cliffs, the caves where the corpses were previously buried also collapsed and were completely buried in this world of wind and snow forever. Sleep forever.

Chapter 185 Snowfield of Ashes

Chapter 1375 Chapter 185 Snowfield of Ashes

The group of people left Gokeyak Village and crossed the last barrier of the Asarashi Mountains. The people who arrived here were instantly swallowed up by the ash snowfield covered by the blizzard in front of them.

Extremely bad weather, seemingly never-ending wind and snow, and extremely low visibility. In the ashes and snowfield without the support of a map, even determining the correct direction may be a luxury.

In the cold long night, even the light of the red moon could not protect the people in the wind and snow. Fortunately, the long-night fire they had obtained before could provide them with the heat to walk through the wind and snow. The flames regardless of the direction of the wind scattered little bits of light. , floating vaguely in a certain direction.

"Fortunately, I got this prop... I guess it's specially used to deal with the bad weather in this area." Chisaki Mori followed Cheng Rang tremblingly.

"Everyone, please follow closely. After leaving the area covered by the fire, you will continue to be harmed by the snowstorm. The abnormal status of the area cannot be lifted like the previous diffuse swamp."

[Current area: Ash Snowfield]

[Regional abnormal state: blizzard. If you continue to travel in a blizzard for more than 30 minutes, you will suffer from the effect of extreme cold frostbite. You will lose 0.5% of your maximum health per second. After being continuously frostbited for more than 50% of your maximum health, the effect will worsen to the point where you lose 0.5% of your maximum health per second. 1% of maximum health. The health lost due to the frostbite effect cannot be recovered temporarily until it is dispelled by the Red Moon Emblem. Props in some areas can be immune to this effect within a certain range. 】

Everyone held hands and trudged through the snow and storm. Cheng Rang, as the team leader, was responsible for holding up the night fire and leading the team in the direction guided by the fire.

The team's progress was greatly delayed as a result, but fortunately, the area of ​​the Ash Snowfield was not as vast as the previous Evogel Forest.

, only about three-quarters of the area of ​​the Asharath Mountains.
