Chapter 339: Chapter 252: The Relics of the Hero and the Demon King_2

As it is said, one should not judge an elf by its appearance; the more dependable an elf looks, the less trustworthy it actually is.

"Then let me go for it."

Jed shrugged and stepped towards the Calia Knight, who raised his magic wand as Luminous Stone Magic Gravel swiftly attacked.

The breeze gently swayed, redirecting the fallen leaves in the courtyard’s center.

The Calia Knight suddenly found that Jed had vanished from before his eyes.

"Over here, look this way." Jed’s playful voice echoed behind him.

"..."

The Calia Knight raised his hand and cast Radiant Sword Round Formation, then quickly turned around and launched the Luminous Stone Swift Magic Gravel!

"Missed again." Jed’s voice came from behind him once more.

The Calia Knight turned again but still couldn’t see his opponent. It was as if Jed was fixed behind him, never in a position to be hit.

"Spa, did you see that? He is truly strong, hahaha!"

Jed’s figure vanished again, but this time the Calia Knight bent over as if taking a heavy blow, wounded without knowing when it happened.

"I feel that this knight is strong, but he just can’t hit me. Truly the power of a heroic weapon!"

"Don’t get too cocky."

Spa watched the battle, his eyes gleaming with amazement.

Heroic Weapon "Wind Walk," a divine artifact once used by the hero titled "Hurricane," holds the power to control the wind. It is said this artifact once allowed him to summon fierce winds that swept the continent and merge his body with the wind, even defeating the Demon King unscathed.

Every hero and Demon King might receive their own unique artifact upon awakening, each with a unique power.

Only the hero or Demon King can use their artifact, forcing use by others leads to Divine Punishment.

But there is another workaround.

When an artifact’s owner dies, the artifact doesn’t disappear. Over time it wears down, becoming something known as a "heroic weapon."

Heroic Weapons retain less than one percent of their original power and can only be used by a chosen person. Unchosen users must offer a sacrifice for awakening, to recharge it.

The required sacrifice must match the weapon’s attribute, consisting of a person with unique talents’ entire bones and life force.

Every sacrifice awakens the weapon for at least two years.

The cost is high, but well worth it, for Heroic Weapons surpass all other equipment, stronger than any enchanted item.

Unique talents aren’t always useful, and can sometimes be counterproductive.

No one knows how the Light Eagle Group obtained this heroic weapon or how many they possess.

Countless heroes and Demon Kings have vanished from history, and the number of artifacts likely exceeds a hundred.

The current Heroic Weapon "Wind Walk" can no longer summon continent-sweeping winds but retains the user’s short-term Wind Transformation ability, albeit with more restrictions, yet still potent.

The Calia Knight is now covered in scars, unable to touch Jed at all.

Jed’s attacks were simple: he transformed into wind to pass through the Calia Knight, causing severe impacts as he could not wield weapons while in wind form.

Do not underestimate the impact; each collision equated to a Dragon Car strike, making it a perfect killing machine if unlimited.

"Do I need to be careful anymore? He can’t hit me!" Jed was excited; the weapon’s power exceeded his expectations.

Spa remained silent, feeling his earlier caution redundant but still made a point.

"Wrap it up quickly; they’ll be back soon."

"Okay, okay."

Jed replied impatiently, intending to unleash the weapon’s full power to instantly kill the Calia Knight, but with a sigh, resigned to half power.

"I can only use half the power; my talent..." he lamented.

Facing the enemy, he moved from behind the Calia Knight, intent on letting him know exactly how he’d die.

The Calia Knight discarded his magic wand and took up his shield.

Jed charged, closing the distance! He got so close to the Calia Knight that he could see through the helmet crevice to his hidden face and the upturned corners of his mouth.

...

Upturned corners of his mouth?

"Bang!"

To Jed and Spa’s shock, the Calia Knight swung his shield, and azure magical light burst forth, opening Jed’s defenses instantly.

Superior Martial Art, this is Calia Return!

Could, could he even deflect wind!?

Jed, too shocked to move, watched the Calia Knight thrust his sword towards him. At the same moment, Spa finally acted.

Two Magic Missiles, one knocking away Jed, the other finishing off the Calia Knight’s dwindling life force.

"Thud——"

As the knight fell, Spa rushed to Jed’s side, pouring Healing Potion into his wound.

"How is it possible, my Heroic Weapon, how could it..."

Jed’s eyes turned blank. What had the Calia Knight done, a shield that could even bounce back wind?

"I told you not to take it lightly; the Captain specifically warned about this dungeon." Spa reproached.

"But the Heroic Weapon..."

"The weapon is strong, but is related to us? You can’t even fully harness its power. Who knows if the knight could deflect a fully unleashed weapon?"

He added an ultimate jab.

"This isn’t the weapon failing, just your failure."

The extra jab, why? Jed glared resentfully at him. At this moment, Merca finally returned with the main force.

"You won?" she exclaimed in surprise: "Very competent, veteran disguised as new recruits?"

Sadly, neither mercenary felt like chatting. They mumbled replies and entered the seal together.

As Merca initially, said, first-timers in the Lake District would be randomly teleported. Luckily, Jed and Spa appeared in the same area.

Today was foggy with low visibility. They tried firing a signal - actually a brilliant Fireball.

"... She can’t find us." Spa’s eyelid twitched.

"Good thing I have this, said to be from a famous strategy group’s map, it can determine our location by nearby landmarks and marks the town’s direction." Jed chuckled, "This is when a map comes handy."

"You regained your spirits?"

"I figured it out, I was careless earlier. Next, I won’t be. We’re here, can’t leave empty-handed, right?"

"Just leave today, don’t delay our mission."

Cautiously, they walked into the dense fog. Occasionally, riders appeared, looking somewhat horrifying. Each time monsters seemed near, Jed would use the weapon’s power to evade them, avoiding combat.

But they didn’t notice a round, dark figure with big eyes watching through the mist.
