First Player

Chapter 401 Chapter 399·"Aren't you my dog?"

The moment the Siren King waved his claws, her figure instantly changed from transparent to crimson.

Blood exploded on her fingertips and flowed into her body along her arms. The thick blood began to flow on her body, making her fiery red eyes even darker.

"Ask——!"

Clifford's almost hoarse scream echoed among the siren's screams.

But beside him, where is the yellow-haired young man clamoring for "treat"?

The flesh and blood turned into pieces fell between the Siren King's pale nails.

At this time, almost all the things scattered on the ground and floating in the air were Esk.

He is gone.

Under the control of the Kraken King, the frantically attacking Kraken became more intelligent. Among them, there were even a few Kraken with solid bodies that were no different from humans, catching the entire team off guard in an instant.

Ying immediately stepped forward, poured all his mana into it, and suddenly launched a space vibration on the Siren King——

【HP-1980! (Weakened! Spell resistance!)]

…

An astonishing number jumped out.

But soon, a scene that could be called despair appeared in front of all the surviving players.

The Siren King's health bar miraculously jumped back to full value after dropping by a quarter.

Players were suddenly reminded of the setting of Siren King.

She can be restored to life among the Kraken, and as long as the Kraken does not die, she will remain immortal.

"Ding dong!"

A crisp prompt sounded.

[Please note: *The Siren King is a special BOSS of the world dungeon and is almost unkillable. Please avoid fighting him head-on and seize the time to build a barrier! 】

…

[Due to the appearance of the Siren King, the difficulty of the mission has been upgraded. 】

[Additional additional rewards: If the barrier is successfully established, all players participating in the battle will receive a growth-type equipment with a grade of at least red level (up to purple level). 】

…

... Red-level equipment is still red-level growth-type equipment that can be upgraded to purple level.

Upon hearing such a perverted reward, everyone's first reaction was not to be happy, but to immediately realize the difficulty of the task.

Purple-level equipment, the top level of equipment quality in the pyramid, is still something that players drool over.

Even Su Ming'an now has a total of two non-weapon purple-level equipment, one is the Aurora Ring obtained on the first world world chessboard, and the other is the future heart that killed Sheng Qide in the Bright World.

From the difficulty of obtaining it, we can already see the scarcity of purple-level equipment.

...It's actually here, being used as a reward that everyone can get.

Most of the players present are smart people, and few whiteboard players have persisted until now.

Someone immediately crushed the teleportation scroll in their hands and chose to leave here.

Even if all their previous efforts were in vain, they knew that the generous rewards represented terrifying difficulty, and they would rather waste all their efforts than be buried here together.

Waves of teleporting white light lit up in the team, and dozens of surviving players made a quick decision and chose to leave immediately.

To survive until now, they have long learned to make decisions and be decisive.

However, some players who still had confidence chose to stay.

Luna is one of them.

"Player No. 1! You focus on building the barrier, and we are responsible for holding her back!" she shouted loudly.

Everyone knows that currently, the war situation has reached the most critical moment. As long as they persist until the barrier is established, and as long as Su Ming'an, who is responsible for establishing the barrier, does not die, they will definitely succeed...

As she shouted loudly, the Siren King struck down another sharp claw.

This time, her target was the white-haired old man Clifford.

Clifford also noticed the direction of this claw, but the space around him seemed to be frozen, preventing him from moving. A trace of determination flashed across his old face that was red with anger, as if he wanted to die heroically here.

"Come on, damn guy! I don't know what the hell you are, but Praia's glory will never be cut off here!"

He roared loudly, and his voice instantly broke through the siren's cry.

That claw suddenly stopped at this moment.

The Siren King's blood-red eyes, which were originally filled with murderous intent and bloodthirsty impulses, suddenly flashed with a trace of clarity.

"The glory of Praia is me - it is created by me from generation to generation - it is me -!" She suddenly screamed, her voice was like a sonic attack, making people cover their ears.

"My kingdom does not need you to step in, and my hometown does not need your salvation! You, who obeyed the rebel Su Lin, how can you see the future of Praia? How do you understand Praia Today’s prosperity—!”

"Survival or destruction, that will be our fate. I am the only heir to the royal family——!"

"Praya is built on the sacrifices of several generations, including my fathers - but those generations of people you are talking about, they - are all me!"

The loud screams covered the entire Praia.

The soul hunters who were still fighting understood what she meant, and the expressions on their faces gradually began to distort.

Even Clifford, who was originally prepared to die, had a stiff expression on his face.

He raised his head and looked at the bloody sea monster, watching her figure change from illusory to solid, and the lines of her facial features gradually became clear...

He saw the torn palace dress she was wearing.

"...Princess, Princess Tulip." He recognized it and called softly, his whole body trembling, and his voice was on the verge of breaking amidst the ear-piercing scream of the siren: "...You really made the stupidest decision. ."

"Wow!"

A sound like a stream sounded.

The blue, illusory Siren soul that was about to disappear appeared in front of Su Mingan, blocking him from the sonic attack from the Siren King.

Seeing Su Ming'an and Su Lin, the princess Siren King, who was gradually losing her mind, showed an almost ferocious expression.

"——Su Lin!"

She screamed almost madly, her voice rolling like thunder, and the rage surging out of it was enough for everyone who couldn't see the battlefield to hear it.

"——Su Lin!"

Her eyes were red, like a hungry wolf, and the pale nails in her hands were like sharp blades, she wanted to tear him into pieces.

"——Su Lin!"

Bloody flames surged from her body, accompanied by an overwhelming and breathless aura. The waves are rolling and the noise pollution in your ears can almost overwhelm a person.

Su Mingan frowned slightly.

Why do these people always shout his name loudly when expressing their anger? It seems that the louder the sound, the more effective it will be.

"I heard that," he said.

"——You despicable one! The traitor who robbed my territory and abandoned the gods, I want to kill you——I want to kill you! As long as I kill you, everything will be fine. This land I love, they It’s still mine—!” She roared almost crazily.

"Despicable? Su Lin is much greater than you." In response to her, Su Mingan's voice was extremely calm: "Princess Tulip who is unwilling to die and chooses to deprive others of their lives. The smell of your soul's decay can be smelled throughout Playa. See."

He thought of Su Lin who died in a deserted alley and next to a garbage dump.

His death was witnessed only by Michael, who inherited his name. He was the only immortal person who guided the airship on the clouds and came down from the city on the clouds. He was supposed to marry the girl he liked and live a life of immortality and happiness, surrounded and admired by the crowd, almost as happy as a god.

But he died, actively chose death, and chose "eternal life" whose first priority is "not living by oneself".

In contrast, the stench of the soul of this princess who once cried "I'm sorry" before the airship set off was too obvious.

Even if she is unwilling to die, she can still choose to abdicate.

Even though he knew that his soul was corrupt, he still occupied the throne and implemented some policies that made the people miserable, making the evil slave tavern popular in Praia.

The hardship of the Garder family, the vicious slave trade, and the widow of Thirteenth Street who was forced to join in the evil...

People can hardly live anymore.

She actually calls herself Praia's qualified guide.

She even experimented with people's souls, absorbing others' and enriching her own. Even many players have been brutally murdered.

"——I'm going to kill you! Kill you——you damn invader! Su Lin——!"

Shocked by the manic malice, she was about to lose her mind, and she was almost unable to tell the difference between Su Lin and Su Ming'an.

At this moment, she glanced around and suddenly saw the Knight of Light who had been extremely loyal to her.

"Sherrod!" She raised her sharp claws high, and her face seemed to show a bit of arrogance belonging to the princess: "——Aren't you a knight who is loyal to me? Didn't you say that you will be loyal to me for the rest of your life? Since He is my knight, my dog, then you kill me! Kill Su Lin! I order you - kill this blasphemer and despicable person in front of me!"

The look she looked over at this moment had a desire she had never seen before.

It is a desperate order, the remaining struggle of human nature, and the pride of being a royal princess at the last moment.

As if the blood in her whole body was boiling, her face was twisted with extreme anger and excitement, and she gave her desperate order to the knight she once trusted the most.

She wants to be known—someone still trusts her! There will still be people loyal to her! Even if, even if she becomes like this, even if she falls to this point, there will be someone who will stand unswervingly on her side and hold up the sword for her!

He is her knight! A knight should be loyal to his master until the end of his life. Is there anything wrong with this?

What's more, Xie Lude is just an NPC, an NPC set by the knight. As long as she orders him, he should give everything for her. This is a setting that cannot be disobeyed!

Every cell in her body was screaming, her brain was running at high speed, and her vision was already hazy.

But even so, she was still staring closely at the knight standing on the bridge who had never drawn his sword and was not stained with blood. She was looking at the golden armor of the leader of the Royal City Knights that she had personally given to him.

His blond hair was fluttering slightly in the wind and snow, and his pair of bright green eyes, like emeralds, always looked at her affectionately, as if she was the only one in his world.

He looks so good like this.

The knight protects the princess and defeats the evil dragon Su Lin who attempts to overthrow the kingdom——

This is the ending the story should have.

…

…

...But why did she see the contempt and pity that she had never shown towards her in the eyes of the Knight of Light?

…

"Princess." Sheldon said softly.

He wrapped the black and red cloth around the palm of his hand to cover the wound on it. Then he gently pulled out the knight's sword at his waist.

The clear sound of the sword being drawn was keenly transmitted to the princess's ears amidst the sea monster's screams.

"I once advised you not to make the same mistake again and again," he said.

Princess Tulip looked at him, her whole body trembling.

The knight, who had always listened to her words like a puppet on a string, suddenly raised his sword towards her.

The tip of the sword was pointed, and the cold light pierced her eyes that were getting moist.

She clearly remembered the specifications of that sword.

The sword is about three and a half feet long, about an inch wide, straight and has two edges, and is surrounded by a hilt engraved with the royal emblem.

It was the sword she had given him with her own hands.

"...But now that you have killed so many people and caused this disaster, there is no room for turning back. For the peace of this land, I would rather go against the 'setting' of being a knight and be loyal to myself. Thinking - Princess, I am no longer your knight, I am an independent 'person'." Xie Lude said softly and looked at Su Mingan.

"Captain." He said: "As long as my soul is still there, Nolia's red rose can repair my body, right?"

"Yes." Su Mingan said.

"Then I will temporarily sacrifice my body to your Siren soul, and let me defeat the Duke...defeat Tulip." Xie Lude said softly.

When he said these words, the hand holding the sword was shaking, and a painful flame was beating hard in his heart, as if it wanted to escape from his throat.

The best knight, even when facing the most evil enemy, his sword hand will not waver in the slightest.

The only thing that can shake him is the knight's will.

At this moment, Xie Lude suddenly remembered the time when he saw her for the first time.

…

[NPC (Xie Lude) HE ending progress: 75%]

…

…

"May the black pine remain green, may the playa remain forever, may the ideal shine as bright as ever, may the sword remain as sharp as ever."

The noble princess standing on the royal dais holds a sword in one hand, with the tip of the sword resting on the right shoulder of the kneeling knight.

"Fight only for justice and justice, never for wealth, and never for selfish reasons; help all those in need; treat the weak with gentleness, but punish the evil ones harshly."

"Live with honor, die with honor, your heart is like my sword, I would rather break it than bend it." The kneeling Knight of Light took the sword she handed him with both hands.

In his bright green eyes was An Ran who had found hope in this life:

"——Betting on the glory of this sword, I will protect you until the end. My loyalist, my master, and my belonging."

The blond girl, after being taught the sword, slowly walked down the platform and playfully touched his blond hair with one hand.

The knight raised his head in surprise.

"Don't be so outspoken. You are my knight, the knight who was taught the sword by me myself." The princess said.

"Princess, I..."

The knight was a little confused.

"Then what should I call you?"

"Let me think about it..." The girl smiled softly.

The light of the hall shines, and her smile is as dignified and beautiful as a rose:

"Just call me Tulip."
