This Lord is Very Scientific-Chapter 144 - 120: Legend! King of Magical Beasts!

Lin Ke swiftly handled affairs concerning He Weijun and Qing Cha, then returned to the Great Wall.

Butler Billy was using the skill "Clean Sweep" to deal with the stains on Lin Ke’s armor and helmet, making him look tidier.

"Mr. Lin Ke, I..." At this moment, Knicks was full of guilt, tears streaming down his face.

In his view, not being able to save He Weijun earlier was because he was too weak.

"It’s okay, Knicks, I believe you’ll be stronger in the future." Lin Ke shook his head gently at Knicks from atop the ox.

Just as he was about to say something to the others, he saw at a distance, over the Great Wall, Count Black Claw, Count Giant Sword, and other beings above level fifteen rising into the sky.

Above level fifteen and you can fly!

These individuals who took flight were nobles close to Lin Ke, including Princess Rica, who was originally recording with a Memory Stone, seemed to be rummaging in the Space Ring.

At the same time, Lin Ke felt a surging wave from behind him.

No good! Enemy attack!

It’s Magical Beasts!

Lin Ke reacted instantly, first shouting, "Everyone, charge!"

Then immediately getting into position, driving the Gula ox beneath him forward.

Skill—Charge!

Using charge to flee!

Once charging, Lin Ke finally had a moment to look back.

Behind him, on the battlefield full of flesh and blood, seven or eight giant snakes sprang from the jungle at the edge of the swamp, rapidly swimming through the air.

Among them, the central one was extremely large, and the massive wave emanating from its body almost suffocated Lin Ke.

This... this is definitely a high-tier Magical Beast!

It could even be the King of Magical Beasts!

They are here to kill them!

Run!

Run, run, run!

"Scatter and run!" Lin Ke exerted the nearly depleted [Knight] power within him, the exhausted Gula ox beneath him doing the same.

But suddenly, Lin Ke remembered something, instantly turning back.

He saw the snakes’ focus was clear, they were targeting Lin Ke!

Coming after Lin Ke!

Lin Ke gritted his teeth; his own Teacher Ove and the other nobles were rushing over but were simply not fast enough.

The Magical Beasts were too close!

At this moment, a bolt of lightning descended from the sky, striking right at those giant snakes.

Ove!

It was Ove making his move!

Yet, not a shred of joy appeared in Lin Ke’s heart, as in his senses, the central giant snake was stronger than Ove.

Indeed.

The few bolts of lightning did not affect the giant snake’s speed at all, merely like a breeze blowing over them.

The deadliest thing was, in Lin Ke’s sensation.

The central giant snake was indeed coming for him!

"Why..." Lin Ke pondered as he charged madly.

Before he could think further, a red-colored giant snake near the central one shot into the air like a projectile, colliding with the descending thunder transformed from Ove.

The clash of thunder and red streaks, surprisingly, the thunder was slightly weaker! freēwēbnovel.com

The power of that snake was astonishingly on par with Ove.

This made Lin Ke even more certain that the giant snake was a legendary being, particularly since its subordinates were star-glow level.

As Lin Ke continued to flee, a task window popped up in front of him.

[You have successfully led your people in an unveiling before the whole army and crushed the probing attack of the Lava Swamp]

[Reward: Ready to claim]

A reward came?

Lin Ke spun internally, glancing around.

The members of the People’s Knight Order had fled in all directions long ago, those snakes ignoring everyone else, charging straight at Lin Ke, their target unambiguous.

Such a clear target was evident in everyone’s eyes.

The nobles by the Great Wall seemed sure they couldn’t make it in time, leaving Lin Ke to rely on himself.

Yet, an unexpected but nonetheless anticipated situation arose.

"Young Master!" John swiftly turned his ox, not charging forward, but towards Lin Ke’s direction.

With eyes aflame, he exerted the last bit of power remaining within him, channeling it into the [Knight] profession.

Skill—Charge!

The young master must not die, at least not before him!

If the young master is to die, they must step over his corpse!

John’s gaze was resolute.

At the same time as turning, there were three others including Butler Billy, Knicks, and Sophie.

Lolita, originally running fast, also reacted quickly, gathering her giant hammer and charging over: "Hooey! I’m taking on a legend today!"

Lamiel hesitated for a bit, then urged his Gula ox to stop as well, but instead of turning, he opened his mouth and shouted, "Azanen’s glory!!"

Skill—Chanting!

Yet the sound couldn’t reach Lin Ke now, for the speed of the giant snakes seemed faster than sound.

Even creating sonic booms!

"Kill our master, perish!" The giant snake was now close to Lin Ke, speaking in human tongue, its voice cold as ice.

Just a few hundred meters!

Lin Ke heard the distant voice of the giant snake, not thinking more internally, instead being at a loss by John and others’ protective actions.

The one coming to kill him is the King of Magical Beasts!

Legendary!

In Naseng, legendary means a nuclear bomb.

When the nuclear bomb arrives, everything turns to ash and smoke; such actions standing behind Lin Ke hold no real meaning.

Yet they acted anyway.

Whether with resolute faces, hesitant faces, or faces crazed (like Lolita).

They all acted, performed those seemingly meaningless actions.

But... does it truly hold no meaning?

Lin Ke felt that some familiar concept, nurtured in his previous life, shattered within his heart.

Turns out this is followership, followers who never betray.

——Follow you, until the stars fall, the world breaks, the rules are destroyed... even unto death.

Then... let’s take a gamble!

Without further ado, Lin Ke blinked, clicked to receive within his consciousness, and immediately turned the direction of the Gula ox, charging backward.

"All of you, follow me... charge with me!"

Lin Ke chuckled softly, the Scholar power within him surged forth, but instead of using a skill, he utilized an amplification spell to spread his voice far and wide.

In his Soul Space, the Knight power within the "Leader" bloodline had already been exhausted completely. The small seedling was continuously absorbing elements from the surrounding environment to convert them back into Knight power.

The "Luck" bloodline was empty, indicating Lin Ke hadn’t taken up a profession.

And the Scholar power within the "Knowledge" bloodline was also depleted. The last bit was used by him to cast the amplification spell, now it was completely empty.

Although Lin Ke’s talent was outstanding, without the support of meditation, the recovery effect was greatly diminished.

Moreover, in this kind of confrontation, even if ten Lin Kes restored their powers completely, it wouldn’t be enough against a legendary force’s breath.

However, from the viewpoint of nobles jumping down from the Great Wall, there was a growing sense of respect.

They could see that Lin Ke was not really charging, he was just sitting on the Gula ox running, heading straight for the legend!

His followers were doing the same, each just sitting on the Gula ox running.

Strictly speaking, the followers didn’t need to do this.

Even with a master-servant contract, if the master dies, the followers would at most fall a few levels, severely might tear a bit of soul becoming dazed.

But at least they wouldn’t die.

Followers also have the right to flee for their survival, albeit at a certain cost.

But now, these followers actually all charged back for Lin Ke?

These nobles were aware that Lin Ke and his followers hadn’t used any contracts between them.

John, Butler Billy, and Sophie could be understood.

But Lolita doing the same, even Lamiel, although not returning to act as a shield, stopped to assist.

This surprised the nobles greatly.

Yet, this surprise soon turned into regret, and eventually transformed into sorrow.

Seeing Lin Ke holding an iron sword charging forward and the followers behind him, the nobles truly felt regret.

Such an outstanding noble is about to die, such a pity!

Even those loyal followers too, how great it would be if they could follow these nobles instead!

The nobles thought as such.

Meanwhile, nobles including Count Giant Sword and Count Black Claw, after descending from the wall, didn’t get any closer, instead they stopped outside the wall.

At this moment, the legendary aura of the giant serpent hit them straight on.

Legend!

This is the pressure of legend!

Feeling this immense pressure, the nobles immediately panicked.

"Le... Le-Legend!!"

"How... how could this be?! Impossible?!"

"Run! Run fast!"

"King of Magical Beasts!"

Nobody thought about staying, nobody thought about resisting.

When a nuclear missile comes, would anyone oppose it with a handgun?

Run! As far away as possible!

Before establishing the Great Wall Fortress, they considered what to do if the King of Magical Beasts took action.

But then dismissed this possibility.

Like Lin Ke thought, a legend is equivalent to a nuclear missile.

And in the "Naseng Common Agreement," humans and other intelligent races, several major forces agreed not to easily slaughter ordinary people.

Moreover, it was agreed that legends should not be easily dispatched.

At this moment, the Lava Swamp and the Gula Kingdom would be considered generational grudges, enough to squabble over "human and Magical Beast border coexistence" issues.

But if the King of Magical Beasts took action, then the legends of the Gula Kingdom would mobilize completely.

Thus, at first, the nobles excluded the possibility of legends entering the stage.

Who would immediately send a nuclear missile in a border skirmish when a department head just died? Only if forced.

Lin Ke was initially skeptical, but Princess Rica privately told him she possessed a treasure given by the Insomnia Emperor, equivalent to a full-force strike of the Insomnia Emperor.

Lin Ke then relaxed slightly.

Now, the nobles hardly thought that much, most instantly thought of fleeing, as far away as possible.

Although those specifically managing fortress protection also activated the fortress’s defense.

But that layer could only withstand the force of one legendary strike, not offering them any sense of security.

Of course, there were clever little nobles hiding behind Princess Rica.

As for Counts above level fifteen, they remained stationary, faces darkened.

They knew Princess Rica hadn’t moved because she was sure of herself.

But they now had more perspectives on the situation, even intentions to leave.

At this moment, changes occurred on the scene.

The giant serpent, as a legend, would normally traverse thousand miles instantly, but just now took two full minutes to move from one side of the battlefield to the other.

Just its aura blew John and others away, Teacher Ove and the starlight-grade red serpent were battling intensely above.

Yet Lin Ke was not afraid at all.

If it were his past life, he would certainly nitpick gains and losses, calculate all the time.

But now, he suddenly felt the immense sincerity and loyalty from John and the others.

Followers.

So this is the meaning of followers.

Those who follow beside the one charging forward.

Lin Ke seemed to feel, the bottleneck that troubled him for several... several days relaxed within him.

Level four Knight.

Yet, the serpent kiss was imminent.

"Slay my master, die!"

The voice of the giant serpent thundered through the Great Wall Fortress.

Lin Ke faced the giant serpent, his gaze extremely calm, shouting, "Knight Azanen, charge with me!"

The followers behind him all raised their weapons, supporting Lin Ke even those knocked flying responded.

"Lin Ke!!" Above, Teacher Ove’s voice seemed divine, adding power to seven or eight lightning balls, instantly severely injuring the starlight-grade red serpent.

But it wouldn’t arrive in time.

Even if he arrived, Teacher Ove absolutely wouldn’t win, nor withstand legendary power.

And just when Lin Ke thought he would truly die this time.

Suddenly, the world fell silent.
