Tomb Survival: Evolve from Skeleton

"Lancer."

After getting along for such a long time, Kress and Lancer have already directly called each other by their close names instead of honorific titles.

Kress, who is an undead person, doesn't have obvious feelings about this matter...

But for Lancer, the "descendant of heroes" who focuses on honor and fighting, it represents more meaning.

"When the red moon appeared in the sky, I knew you were going out..."

Lancer's words were very calm, but there was a sense of blame for Kress's attempt to act alone.

"...Take me, I can help you."

Facing Lancer's direct words of help, Kress wasn't too surprised.

He conceited that he also had a little understanding of Lancer.

But it seems that I don't have a special understanding...

Lancer is a warrior who attaches great importance to the honor of knights, and he is also the most noble knight.

But at the same time, her special status as a woman forced her to be treated more harshly than other men.

This is true even if Lancer is a descendant of [Thirteen Ancient Heroes].

And it is precisely because Lancer is a descendant of [Ancient Thirteen Heroes], her requirements for herself will be much higher than other fighters.

Lancer's father also exerted great pressure on her...

To prove yourself.

To prove the woman.

In order to prove this knight system.

Lancer, carrying many packages on his back, walked with a heavy load.

It wasn't until Lancer met Kress at the Hesmu City Knight Tournament that time, she won the victory, but she had more puzzles.

She wanted to defeat Kress in a fair, real duel.

She also knows that the current self is far from Kress's opponent.

So, she joined Chris' "Dawn" team.

She followed Kress around, wanted to understand her opponent, and wanted to learn how to defeat Kress.

only……

Lancer didn't know why, but he couldn't help but want to help him, and didn't want him to suffer any possible harm.

……

Kress and Lancer stood facing each other across two moonlights.

For a moment, there was no words in the huge palace corridor.

"Lancer."

Kress' calm and rational voice broke the slightly weird silence, and continued——

"...Lancer, I am very grateful for your selfless help along the way. I am very willing and looking forward to fighting side by side with you!"

"However, this time is different. My opponent is an extremely powerful illusionist. I am not sure of victory. I cannot let you go on an adventure with me."

Kress' words analyzed everything concisely and rationally.

Lancer seems to have expected it a long time ago——

"Kress, when you fight against [King of the Undead] Darkouri in that sealed world, are you sure you will win?"

Kress was stopped by Lancer's words, paused for a while, and then slowly answered——

"No."

"Then why did you go deep into the sealed world to fight Darkoori for me and Dilly?"

Lancer seemed a little agitated.

She has never been willing to owe favors to anyone...even if this person is the one she feels is the most special.

Kress was speechless for a long time.

And Lancer went on to say——

"Kress, are you men only allowed to be heroes to save the beauty, can't we women help you?"

"Hahaha……"

Kress was speechless by Lancer's words. As an undead man, he actually wanted to let out a chuckle at this moment.

When the laughter stopped slightly, Kress stared at the silver knight in front of him...

"Lancer, you are right."

Kress walked forward slowly and began to approach Lancer.

"I have to admit, you are really an attractive woman."

Kress didn't pay attention to how his words changed Lancer under the mask. He just continued——

"...I am looking forward to fighting side by side with you."

After speaking, Kress also just came to Lancer.

Kress stretched out his fist with one hand, facing Lancer with the same fist.

This is an agreement that belongs to the knights of their Fritz Kingdom.

A promise to fight side by side.

"So……"

Lancer didn't know why, her words were not as decisive as before, but she seemed a little more shy like a girl.

"So, Kress, what's your battle plan?"

"Protect... Dilly."

Lancer under the covering visor—

A strange and shy look that was stiff to frozen for a moment.

……

The streets of Yayu City.

The elite guards of Fritz's royal family who came with Li Yiluo, without exception, all fell under Zhao Yekong's illusion.

At this time, Zhao Yekong, after defeating Li Yiluo's elite guards, has completely invaded the core area of ​​Yayu City.

The defense mechanism of Yayu City, which was almost paralyzed because of the "Jesker Rebellion", was able to find Zhao Yekong's location under the leadership of Li Yiluo, the captain of the royal guard, which was already extremely rare.

Under the bloody moonlight.

Zhao Yekong slowly took out a dark golden horror mask from his arms, engraved with several strange pictures of mountains and seas, as if echoing the blood-colored formation around here.

The silver-haired Zhao Yekong put on the dark golden mask in his hand.

Almost at the same time, Yayu City was separated by a wall of flames soaring into the sky, and a huge number of [Phantom Demons] appeared from the wall of flames, and began to wantonly kill and destroy.

And with Zhao Yekong as the center, nearly half of Yayu City is divided into one place, where phantoms gather the most, and the atmosphere of bloody death is the heaviest...

Zhao Yekong came to Fritz Kingdom and Yayu City not only because of Dili who had already untied the first seal, but more importantly to find something...

One thing that is enough to change the whole world - the remains of the seal of Dakori.

Zhao Yekong raised his eyes slightly, looked around, and said to himself——

"I hope that guy Jesc Horton won't get ahead of me..."

……

Fritz Palace.

Central Tower.

As the most central building in Yayu City, it naturally has the widest view.

And King Fritz who lives here, even though he has intentionally stayed away from everything, still cannot avoid seeing the [Scarlet Moon] and the [Flame Wall] soaring into the sky.

King Fritz's face showed a sickly pale...

And his most proud daughter, Rubia Fritz, had convened an emergency organization first, notified the [Adventurer's Union] and [Holy Light Temple] and several other forces that could be recruited, and gathered the army.

It has to be said that even King Fritz felt ashamed of himself for such a vigorous and resolute style of action.

King Fritz looked at himself haggard in the bronze mirror beside him...

"Perhaps, it's really time to abdicate."
