When the plot-skips players into the game world Chapter 801

Chapter 801: Chapter 182: Hero Dies from Betrayal Chapter 801: Chapter 182: Hero Dies from Betrayal “Because I was the witness to the covenant of the Valley of the Beheaded,”

rlin had once said this to Aiwass.

Aiwass then wondered why the Valley of the Beheaded was connected to rlin…and now he understood.

Seeing rlin’s youthful appearance, he must not have yet beco “Great Sage rlin.”

So, the witnessing of the covenant must have also been an event that occurred later…likely after the fall of the Giant Kingdom.

“Yes, esteed Sir Helquinn.”

Gavin bowed politely and respectfully to Aiwass, “We are knights of the rebel army following King Arthur to subdue that debauched and lawless Giant King.

“Though we are all humans, we also possess the determination to conquer the Giants.

King Arthur traveled across the entire Helasal Empire to gather us under his command.

“We vowed—if we truly managed to destroy the Giant Kingdom of Alktoth, we would establish a new nation upon this Isle of Avalon.

...

Then Arthur shall be our new king…a king belonging to mankind!”

While Gavin said this, he evidently still had so concerns.

After all, Helquinn was an Elf.

He did not know whether his words would gain Helquinn’s approval.

But Aiwass rely nodded slightly.

“Well done.”

He earnestly comnded, “To stand against the Giants in battle demonstrates that you possess transcendent courage.”

Aiwass clearly heard, after he affird their motive for war, a young knight couldn’t help but sigh in relief, even relaxing his stance sowhat.

Thus, Aiwass, feeling mischievous, decided to put so pressure on the young knights.

“By the way.”

Aiwass suddenly spoke, “You all say I have beco a ‘hero’…

“But tell , did I ultimately fail?”

At his words, the camp fell into silence.

Originally, a male and female knight whispering in a corner spoke very softly.

But as the camp suddenly quieted, their conversation seed so clear.

They quickly realized the situation and were startled, promptly shutting their mouths.

Afraid that Aiwass might call on them to answer his question.

Aiwass took a closer look, a sense of familiarity—

—Wasn’t this Lancelot and Guinevere?

As Aiwass scanned the crowd, hardly a few dared et his gaze.

Such an attitude…?

Thus, Aiwass slightly frowned and addressed, “Mr.

rlin.”

“Yes!”

rlin responded with a start, almost shouting his reply.

Aiwass clearly heard a knight abruptly sigh in relief.

“Please clarify for .”

Aiwass politely said, “When exactly did my life end?”

“This…”

rlin hesitated.

Aiwass quietly pressed, putting pressure on rlin, “Did I not die gloriously?”

“Not at all!”

rlin imdiately replied.

He pursed his lips and still spoke softly, “You ultimately were defeated.

“You fell at the hands of the Giant Patriarch…Wildfire Uther Galoch.”

“…A Wildfire Giant.”

Aiwass murmured.

So in normal history, Helquinn was defeated by a Wildfire Giant?

That’s also normal…In normal history, Helquinn probably couldn’t save Aurigen.

Nor did he have a powerful enough weapon to aid Aurigen.

Lacking this strongest ally, Helquinn indeed might not have been able to defeat Uther Galoch.

…But it seems it shouldn’t be either.

Seeing the knights’ reactions, they seed quite reluctant to tell Aiwass about this.

If it was just defeat, what was there to fear ntioning?

Thus Aiwass solemnly said, “I don’t believe I couldn’t handle him—he didn’t have the Wounded Branch.”

“Indeed…”

rlin looked sowhat embarrassed but still spoke in a low voice, “Because in the end… you were betrayed.”

“…Betrayed?”

“—Yes, betrayed.”

Arthur took up the conversation.

As Arthur strode forward, rlin hurriedly put on his hat and scurried back into the crowd.

Mordred pulled on his sleeve, allowing rlin to hide behind him, and an unknown female knight whom Aiwass did not recognize ca over.

She scolded Mordred in a low voice while reaching out to touch rlin’s cheek to heal him.

Arthur then spoke in a deep voice, “The war led by Sir Helquinn was initially going well.

Although a few followers were sacrificed, the overall progression was still forward.

Even the powerful forr Protector, ‘Wildfire Uther Galoch,’ was briefly repelled by you…

“But when you were staying in a human village, a human betrayed you—exposed your location and poisoned you.

Your food was mixed with the poison provided by Uther Galoch.

“Clearly, as the stronger party, the Giants did not wish to fight you head-on—because your numbers were too few and your power too weak.

The arrogant Giants could not unite under such pressure.

Just as we have co here now, the Giant Kingdom does not wish to send troops to hunt us down.

“Uther Galoch resorted to plots and sches.

But ultimately, the ones who betrayed you were the very humans you were protecting.”

Arthur said calmly and justly, “When ‘Wildfire’ attacked again, you were already powerless to resist.

Thus, you were captured alive by Uther Galoch.

“The bodies of those who had died in battle were also collected.

After you were tried and tortured by the Giants, all were found guilty and beheaded.

All of your bodies were placed into the sa large pot and boiled—Supre Heaven even made a new large pot for you personally.

“The Giants ate your bodies.

At the sa ti, they divided a bowl of soup—the ‘soup of the betrayed heroes’—among every human settlent in Avalon, telling them that you also had unforgivable sins and henceforth no one would co to save them.

“Because the bodies were not buried, the execution grounds left behind the wails of resentful spirits that have lingered for a hundred years.

They have turned into man-eating evil spirits.

To this day, they have not dissipated; they likely won’t in the future.”

Arthur looked at Aiwass and said, “Those were… your forr subordinates.”

Hearing this, Aiwass finally fell into silence.

Heroes… fallen because of betrayal.

And at that mont.

rlin suddenly spoke, “It will end.”

Aiwass looked over at him.

And rlin t Aiwass’s gaze without hesitation.

His eyes firm, “When everything ends, when the Giants are defeated by us, when we achieve the final victory—I will pray to Twilight to bury them; or to the Great Sage for their ascension into The Wild Hunt.

“I’ve heard that the people of Valley of the Beheaded have collected the bones of heroes.

Although most of their remains were devoured by the Giants, a small portion was protected and preserved by them giving up their lives.

With these items as a dium, it should suffice to let them rest.

“And…”

rlin stepped forward and took Aiwass’s hands, “I implore you to agree to my plan!

This will also help us defeat that powerful enemy!”

“—Plan?”

Aiwass asked with interest, “What plan?”

“I hope to conduct The Wild Hunt ceremony for you.”

rlin paused slightly, but continued, “The ‘Heroic Spirit Summoning’ only calls forth frozen fragnts of the past.

These are not souls, nor do they have bodies.

Sir Helquinn’s body indeed can no longer be found, and those raging resentful spirits we cannot mollify… but with you as a dium…”

“That sounds feasible,”

Aiwass readily agreed.

He reflected with so sentint, growing clearer…

“So that’s what happened back then.

Valley of the Beheaded, Eagle Cape Village, Wild Hunt King…

…Lord of Scalefeather, do you wish for to witness this scene again?

Because I hope to sign the Covenant of Great Sin with Sir Helquinn, do you think I need to know the full story before I decide?”

“As for the enemy…”

rlin said gravely, “We have already angered the Giants, they prayed for the Angel Envoy to co and fight against us.

Probably My King summoned you here for this reason.

“We are about to confront the emissary of Supre Heaven—’Tyrant’ Caligula!”

…That ‘Tyrant’ who, after each resurrection, is hunted down again by the Knights of the Round Table?

“What an… unusual enemy.”

Aiwass’s mouth curved slightly, full of a warrior’s intent.

Originally, facing an Angel Envoy was quite a pressure for Aiwass.

He had not forgotten the imnse pressure that ‘Breaker of Sieges’ Erinyes had brought him.

But this ti it’s different!

Let’s not ntion rlin’s ceremony for now…

—Behind , this person nad Arthur, this big brother is now in the state of being inhabited by the Pillar God!

This wave, this wave is calling for a duo queue with Heaven!
