Traveler of the River of Time and Space-Chapter 420 - 14: Reunion with the Onion Knight (Part 2)

"Storm!"

The Onion Knight suddenly shouted, and in the instant when the great sword in his hand swung out, an invisible force of the wind began to gather frantically. A huge wind blade, visible to the naked eye, appeared and directly struck the monster, leaving a shocking wound.

Swoosh.

As the monster let out a wretched cry, the Onion Knight panted heavily and dodged away, using the great sword seemed to have consumed much of his strength.

"Storm Tamer!..." Sister Fried murmured.

At this moment, Su Ziyu's figure had already descended from the sky.

With a crackling bolt of lightning falling down, the monster that was crazily chasing the Onion Knight suddenly froze all over.

Boom.

This time Su Ziyu switched to the Dragon-Hunting Spear. He found this weapon truly handy against large enemies. Without thinking, he summoned the Thunder Spear and threw it directly.

"Ugh!..."

"It's you! ... Hurry up and help... I'm exhausted..."

The Onion Knight patted his butt and climbed up, took out an Elemental Bottle and gulped down a mouthful, then slowly said, "You guys came here too..."

While talking, he swung the great sword towards the monster's head.

Accompanied by the monster's wretched scream, the Dragon-Hunting Spear immediately pinned into its body, and Su Ziyu directly flew up. In the moment of misalignment with the monster, telekinesis and electromagnetic transformation simultaneously erupted, pulling out the Dragon-Hunting Spear out of thin air again.

No choice.

He only had one Dragon-Hunting Spear in his hand, and he didn't know any gun techniques, but he was powerful throwing it, so he could only use it repeatedly as a javelin.

In the future, he could consider preparing a few more spears, with Thunder Spear he would become a super turret.

Bang!

A streak of black flame fell from the sky, and Sister Fried's figure landed directly on the monster. The huge scythe cut through a flash of cold light, accompanied by the raging black flames, the monster immediately let out a series of piercing screams.

Good opportunity.

——"Thunder Spear!"

Without thinking, Su Ziyu reversed his hand and threw the Dragon-Hunting Spear he had just pulled out again.

Boom.

This time the Dragon-Hunting Spear directly pierced through the monster's head. As a massive amount of dark red blood gushed out, the monster twitched a few times on the ground and then stopped moving.

"Gained 3 Source Power Value."

This time no soul burst forth, but a hint of spiritual light appeared in the monster's corpse.

——"Pope's Right Eye (Curio): A magic ring crafted by Shalivan, it enhances destructive power in battle. This ring is embedded with a black eyeball. When staring at it, one would become emotionally elevated, generating a will to fight to the death. Excessive use might lead to berserk, turning into a beast-like berserker. Hence, Shalivan only bestows this ring during campaigns."

This was a curio with side effects.

Su Ziyu picked it up and showed it to the nearby Sister Fried, who shook her head gently and said, "There is Shalivan's evil magic on it."

"Do not use it lightly."

At this moment, the Onion Knight came over, his rotund body looked somewhat adorably clumsy, and laughed, "You guys saved me again this time..."

"Why did you also come here?"

Su Ziyu casually put away the Pope's Right Eye, turned and looked at the Onion Knight beside him and asked, "And you?"

"When we returned to the tower, you were gone."

The Onion Knight scratched his head, looking slightly embarrassed, "Haha! ... When I woke up and saw you weren't there, I went off on my own..."

Sister Fried's gaze remained fixed on the peculiar great sword on the opponent's shoulder.

She hesitated for a moment before saying, "Is this sword... the legendary Storm Tamer..."

Storm Tamer?

This sword, is it some kind of very powerful, famous weapon?

Su Ziyu also curiously glanced over. The spiritual light on the great sword was slightly dim, but it looked very formidable.

"You recognize it too?" The Onion Knight didn't deliberately hide anything, took down the great sword and wiped it with great care, his voice slightly solemn, "Yeah. It's the Storm Tamer."

"An old friend left it for me..."

There seems to be a story.

As if seeing the confusion on Su Ziyu's face, Sister Fried softly said, "The Storm Tamer is Giant King Yum's weapon..."

"It's said he had two Storm Tamers."

"This sword is also known as the Giant Slayer, imbued with powerful storm power, so strong it can even easily fell giants."

"Before he became a Lord of Cinder."

"Giant King Yum suppressed the Fire of Sin in the City of Sin because people feared his strength, feared that he too would be swallowed by the Fire of Sin. So Giant King Yum, to allay people's fears, entrusted the two Storm Tamers to others, one given to those who didn't trust him, and the other entrusted to his most trusted friend..."

"If one day he were swallowed by the Fire of Sin, people could take the Storm Tamers to kill him..."

Sister Fried's voice gradually lowered as she said this, slowly adding, "He was a worthy Lord of Cinder..."

Su Ziyu couldn't help but be stunned upon hearing this, feeling a tinge of respect for the Lord of Cinder.

It was said that Giant King Yum wasn't truly worshiped wholeheartedly as king by the people at the time; they were simply afraid of the Fire of Sin, and at that time, only a powerful Giant King could suppress the Fire of Sin.

But later on, even though the Fire of Sin was suppressed by the powerful Giant King Yum, the people's fear did not subside; instead, they began to fear the Giant King with terrifying power, worrying even more about the possibility that one day Giant King Yum would no longer be able to suppress the Fire of Sin and instead be swallowed by it, which would be catastrophic.

If it were Su Ziyu, he figured he'd have quit long ago; whoever wanted to suppress the Fire of Sin could do it, he wouldn't care less.

Protecting them yet becoming the object of their fear and dread, who could bear such a thing?

But Giant King Yum didn't do this. To console those who served him as king, even knowing that their service was not sincere, he handed over his two weapons. One given to the people who didn't trust him, the other entrusted to his most trusted friend.

If one day he were engulfed completely by the Fire of Sin, losing all reason and turning into a frenzied monster, there could be someone who would take these Storm Tamers and kill him.

The friend he spoke of as the most trusted should be the Onion Knight in front of him.

"This one could be called a true ruler!..." Su Ziyu couldn't help but shake his head in sigh, silently adding, "Pity he later willingly offered himself as a fuel for the flame, yet was again dug up from the grave to be burned once more."

"Sigh."

"This damned world."

This world being able to continue to this day wasn't in small part thanks to the existence of great rulers like Giant King Yum.

The Onion Knight was silent.

His mood just a bit down, after a while slowly but extremely firmly said, "The pact of the past awakened me from the grave, I indeed came for the sake of the promise made back then."

The Onion Knight also had an Elemental Bottle in his hand.

This means he was undead or perhaps the unkindled, maybe he once linked the fire in the past as well.

"You..." Sister Fried opened her mouth but hesitated, ultimately failing to speak.

While the Onion Knight's strength was indeed considerable.

That is still very inadequate compared to a mighty Lord of Cinder, especially to the Giant King Yum who once suppressed the Fire of Sin, even if he had a Storm Tamer in hand.

In Su Ziyu's ranking of Lords of Cinder, Giant King Yum was on par with the Lorric Twin Princes, and if it wasn't for once being consumed by the First Flame, Giant King Yum might have been much stronger than the Lorric Twin Princes!

The Onion Knight came for the promise, but he might not be able to overcome the resurrected Giant King.
