CHAPTER 247: THE TRUTH OF THE POWER OF THE DRAGON ASHA

Roy said nothing but looked at Giovanni from top to bottom, making him very nervous. To be honest, the fight between Arantir and Roy scared Giovanni a little.

The Kingdom of Heresh was actually formed by several great and minor death kings as well as their territories. As a count of vampires, Giovanni also had territory, but his territory was relatively small. In layman's terms, Giovanni was actually just a rural ruler, and he could only lead a group of vampires and a few low-level undead.

　

　

There were many rural rulers like Giovanni in Heresh. Rather than a kingdom, Heresh was more like an alliance. The necromancers gathered because of the persecution of the magicians of the kingdom of Bracada and their shared belief in Asha to protect themselves. This also made the kingdom of Heresh devoid of so-called kings, and the various kings had their own thoughts. They are not united and only maintain superficial harmony.

And Arantir was one of the strongest rulers of death in Heresh. The person who claimed to have obtained Asha's help had received the attention of the other death kings. Many minor nobles like Giovanni believed that Arantir would be a candidate to unite Heresh, so they all submitted to him.

　

　

Giovanni followed Arantir like this first, but after following Arantir for some time, Giovanni felt he had followed the wrong man!

Arantir's ambition is not much. He did not take the initiative to attack and consolidate the territory of the other death lords, and he spent most of his time reading books and fighting demons. According to Giovanni, Arantir was like a bookworm, no different from the witch in Bracada's ivory tower.

As Giovanni gradually looked through the person he admired, he increasingly thought of ‘Arantir as nothing more than this’ in his heart. His ambitions are growing, and he wants to replace Arantir.

　

　

However, the enemies Arantir had encountered in the past were too weak, and he could easily defeat them with his undead army. Therefore, Giovanni had never seen the Incarnation of Death summoned by Arantir and knew nothing of the existence of spectral dragons!

To this day, after meeting Roy, Arantir calls his Incarnation of Death to fight Roy. Only then does Giovanni realize that this fucking nerd Arantir is actually protecting him …

Vampire status is not low among vampires. But in comparison, Giovanni's combat power was at most on par with upper-middle-class demons. Before this, Giovanni was quite confident in his strength, but after seeing the Death Incarnation of Arantir and the strength he showed in the battle with Roy, he was terrified. Fortunately, he had yet to challenge Arantir. If not, he will die.

　

　

Giovanni can still see. He knew whether it was the demon in front of him or the Death Incarnation of Arantir, everything they showed was incredible. Especially this demon in front of him, he could actually fight against Arantir and the spectral dragon he summoned himself and suppress them both. This was definitely not something that ordinary high-level demons could do. Even a powerful death king like Arantir could not win against this demon, and Giovanni made comparisons easily.

Even if he wanted to join the strongest, he had to join the strongest, right? Therefore, Giovanni made a decision without hesitation and planned to cooperate with this demon!

He knew very well that cooperating with the demons might produce better results than with a necromancer like Arantir because the demons had absolutely no interest in ruling the undead nation. As long as Giovanni did it right, he might be able to use this demonic power to become the king of all Heresh!

Of course, this was also a decision made by Giovanni by observing that this demon might be a clever one. If Roy was a grumpy demon, Giovanni wouldn't have thought of this, and he was afraid Roy would tear him apart…

Giovanni waited for Roy's answer nervously, and Roy looked at Giovanni attentively.

By the way, Giovanni is the second number of vampires Roy has encountered!

　

　

“Alright, Your Majesty, Vampire Count Giovanni!” Roy's tall body stood in front of Giovanni, looked at him, and sneered cynically. “While I am very curious as to why you betrayed Arantir, it seems that this is not the time to ask this. What makes me even more curious is why you, Arantir, and this undead army appeared in the Desert of Death. Don't tell me you came specifically to look for me! ”

“Not that the problem!” Giovanni sighed in relief when he heard Roy's words. He shook his head and said, “Actually, Arantir is leading an army to search the graves of the ancient warriors in this desert. He planned to gather a large army and go to Erathia. It was just a coincidence that he met you .. “

“I understand ..” Roy feel relieved. I know it . How could there be such a coincidence? He nodded and asked, “Because you are... collaborator Arantir, do you know what happened to his spectral dragon? Under normal circumstances, could a necromancer summon such a powerful dragon bone? “

“I don't know..” Giovanni is a little confused. “In fact, it's the first time I've seen him call such an undead creature.”.

“Let me say it another way ..” Roy looks at him intently. “Is the power of Asha really still in this world?”

“Must be!” Hearing this question, Giovanni shook his head without hesitation. “If anyone can gain the power of Asha, they might become a new dragon! Like Sar-Elam used to be, but it happened almost a thousand years ago. Spectral dragon Arantir cannot be the power that Asha gave him. I would rather believe that it was just a powerful undead creature beyond common sense.Even if Arantir claimed to be the Asha Choice, that was all he called himself. In fact, the death lords of the whole kingdom of Heresh never received any revelation about this! “

“In other words, you chose to cooperate with him earlier just to use his statement, right?” Roy saw the essence of this matter at a glance.

　

　

“Quickly!” Giovanni nodded. “If he is truly Chosen, then under heavenly revelation, all the rulers of Heresh's death will gather under his command, and we will all treat him as king. But as you can see, in fact Heresh is still in a split .. I can only say that with this declaration, he is only a candidate with the possibility to compete for the throne. ”

“Then, he is actually just an ordinary human being and can still be killed ..” Roy rubbed his chin and pondered

The reason he could not forget that was not because Arantir led his army to attack Roy and the others. Roy wanted to kill Arantir actually because of what happened when Roy passed beside Arantir to slash him but was blocked by him. During that brief conversation, Roy clearly felt that Frostmourne had transmitted the desired feeling!

At the time, Roy did not understand what was going on. After that, he realized that the wish Frostmourne had conveyed was actually to want Arantir's soul!

In the Darksiders world, after Ulthane reforge Frostmourne, he gains a special attribute: Soul Hunger!

The current Frostmourne was a demon-god artifact. According to Roy's understanding, if he wanted to upgrade Frostmourne into a god artifact level weapon, he might need to let this sword have something similar to an artifact spirit. In other words, for this sword to gain consciousness. According to the attribute description of ‘Soul Hunger’, if another being held Frostmourne, it would continue to absorb their souls to enrich itself.

Frostmourne was always held by Roy, and would not absorb the soul of Roy, his master, so the sword was always empty. This time, when Roy was holding Frostmourne near Arantir, it seemed that Frostmourne had sensed Arantir's soul!

Arantir is a powerful necromancer. Judging from his strong belief in Asha; his ideology, will, and moral qualities are extraordinary, so that his soul is certainly different from ordinary souls. Frostmourne recognizes the power of his soul, so in order to get Arantir's soul, it sends a signal of Roy's desire, hoping Roy can use Frostmourne to kill Arantir. This way, Forstmourne will absorb Arantir's soul.

　

　

Roy found this after. This was the first time Frostmourne had given him a signal, so it was only natural that he did not understand it in time.

Since Frostmourne wanted it, Roy was naturally willing to give it away. After confirming that Arantir does not have Asha's powers supporting him, Roy begins to think about how to kill Arantir…
