Chapter 724: As Expected, the Boss has a Second Form
Chapter 724: As Expected, the Boss has a Second Form
After obtaining the control device for 'Black Rose', Beta and Epsilon also kept their promise and pushed Modred towards Night City.
For the 'Shadow Courtyard', Modred's value had been almost completely exploited by them.
Even the ancient artifacts he wore were stripped from him, and whether or not they would kill him in the end was no longer a concern.
Having achieved their goal, Beta, Epsilon, and the others were ready to leave after obtaining the 'Black Rose' device. After all, they had accomplished what they set out to do.
Night City, the villainous leader of the Order's enforcers, could not just stand by and watch as Beta and Epsilon left without a care in the world.
Just as Night City was wondering where Sid had gone and why he hadn't come out to confront him yet, Modred, who had just broken free from the constraints of the Shadow Courtyard, surprisingly rushed towards the Fourth Overlord Ragnarok, who was lying on the ground.
"Damn you, Shadow Courtyard! You bitches have tormented me for so long, and you think I'll just let you leave like this?"
Since being captured by the Shadow Courtyard in the Midgar Kingdom, Modred had endured unimaginable suffering over the past few days.
That woman named Lambda was the devil incarnate! In the past, only their cult tormented others, but Modred never imagined that he, as the ninth seat of the Round Table Knights and the 'Man Over Devil Sword', would find himself in a situation where even NiuNiu couldn't protect him.
As a high-ranking member of the cult, Modred had extensive knowledge of demon research. Although he knew that merging with the Fourth Overlord Ragnarok would turn him into a complete monster, the torment he had endured had pushed him beyond his limits.
As long as he could gain immense power to seek revenge, even if it meant becoming a monster, he would surpass the Fourth Overlord Ragnarok!
When Night City witnessed Modred merging with Ragnarok, he was left speechless.
Although Night City didn't know the exact method Modred used, it might have been due to the Diabolos Essence or some other reason.
But regardless, the Modred before him had successfully transformed Ragnarok, who was lying on the ground, into a bullheaded monster, even without NiuNiu's help.
After merging with Ragnarok, Modred's upper body was exposed, while his lower body completely became a part of Ragnarok's, truly embodying the concept of unity.
Night City could clearly sense that the demonic power emanating from the Fourth Overlord Ragnarok had become even more astonishing after the fusion!
"Night City, my true brother, you must leave the Olyana Kingdom immediately," Modred said, not forgetting to glance at his 'brother' Night City and remind him, "In this state, I won't be able to maintain my sanity for long. You need to get out of here before I turn this entire kingdom into ruins."
Even after transforming into a monster, Modred still cared for his 'brother' and urged him to leave.
However, upon seeing Modred in his current state, Night City fell silent, thinking to himself, "I knew the boss would have a second form. Looks like he just needed the right fusion material."
Modred wanted his 'brother' to evacuate quickly, but Night City hesitated.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, things had taken an unexpected turn.
After both parties completed the transaction, Beta and the others should have been able to leave safely under Sid's (Shadow's) protection with the control device for the 'Black Rose'.
But Shadow, who always loved to stir up trouble, had not shown himself since the activation of the 'Black Rose', which Night City found incredibly annoying.
Currently, the Cult was in a dominant position, even to the point of overwhelming their opponents. With Modred's fusion with Ragnarok, Beta and Epsilon stood no chance against him. What should Night City do?
If he defected now, all his previous efforts would be in vain.
On the other hand, if he did nothing, Beta and Epsilon would undoubtedly face death.
When Night City saw Beta, Epsilon, and the others being swatted away by Modred's claws and were about to be torn apart by his next strike, he no longer hesitated.
Although the identity of the enemy's high-ranking member was important, it couldn't compare to the two elf sisters he had grown up with.
Just as Night City was about to make a sudden move and backstab his "good brother" Modred, countless silk threads suddenly appeared, blocking Modred's claws.
The crimson claws clashed with the seemingly fragile silk threads, but sparks flew in all directions.
Seeing those silk threads, Night City immediately halted his advance and turned to the Order Enforcers behind him, saying, "Everyone, retreat with me. Afterward, report everything that happened here truthfully to the higher-ups."
Upon seeing the silk threads blocking Modred and sensing the familiar mana in the air, Night City knew that the chaotic guy had returned.
With Shadow's strength, dealing with the bullheaded Ragnarok was almost effortless.
Since Beta and Epsilon's safety was no longer an issue, his role in this matter had come to an end.
Hearing Night City's retreat order, the Order Enforcers behind him were perplexed and asked, "Sir Galahad, are we retreating now?
This is a perfect opportunity to wipe out the 'Shadow Courtyard' in one fell swoop, and the control device for the Black Rose is still in their hands. Shouldn't we take this chance to retrieve it?"
Before Night City could respond to the self-righteous Order Enforcer, his loyal sidekick Gado had already stepped forward and slapped the Enforcer, silencing him.
"Who gave you the audacity to defy Sir Galahad's orders!
Sir Galahad has his reasons for ordering a retreat, and you dare to think you're smarter than him?"
Night City was pleased with Gado's actions, thinking that his loyal sidekicks were indeed quite perceptive and might be worth cultivating in the future.
Modred was undoubtedly defeated, leaving two vacant seats among the Round Table Knights. Perhaps Night City could try to maneuver his loyal sidekicks into those positions.
"It's not that I don't want to wipe out the 'Shadow Courtyard,' but you heard it too.
Lord Modred's state won't allow him to stay conscious for long. If he goes berserk, I have the power to protect myself, but what about you? Do you want to be killed by our own allies?
Moreover, Lord Modred has already fused with Ragnarok, making him incredibly powerful. The likes of the 'Shadow Courtyard' are no match for him. Don't you trust your comrades?"
