"Today's victory is your victory."
“Information…” Mino’s confused eyes gradually cleared. He slowly realized something, and suddenly turned his head to look at the “culprit” in front of him, his eyes flashing with anger.
"What kind of time is this to expect you to extract information from me?!" Mino gritted her teeth and said.
"Do you know what you've done? How dare you, how dare you, how dare you... how dare you completely shatter my precious memories with Chief Lark... You truly deserve to be called the despicable Shadow Fiend who harms people's hearts..."
"Are you happy now? You cold-hearted person!"
"I will never forgive you! Never!!!" Mino shouted emotionally.
Kleidina was somewhat stunned. Although she was prepared to be resented by Mino after using such cruel torture methods, was the point of resentment... a little off track?
Seeing the other person's tearful, grief-stricken expression, anyone who didn't know better would think she had done something to him, creating an atmosphere of sorrow reminiscent of a young girl losing her virginity.
"You vile demons, you have crossed my line!"
With eyes blazing with fury, Mino clenched his fists and said indignantly, "It's time to show you the backbone of the strongest warrior in human history!"
Raising its proud and resolute head, Mino radiated a human glow:
"From today onwards, you can forget about using delicious food, silky milk tea, comfortable massages, and cute lolis to seduce me..."
【Ding--】
"I admit it!"
Mino solemnly declared!
Chapter 267 Magic Jar Knowledge - Dual-Sword Style Techniques - Starburst Stream Slash (Seeking monthly votes~)
The powerful voice echoed in the cell.
“Huh?” Kleidina was stunned.
"Huh?" Artotai was stunned.
They almost doubted that their auditory system was hallucinating.
First, it was Altothai who reacted, his sword flashing with disbelief—although he vaguely sensed that his master was about to be defeated, just a second ago he was passionately expressing his irreconcilable hatred for the demons, and the next second he was instantly and without any warning, defeated at the speed of light… Altothai looked at Mino in shock:
"Did you get your brain split open from being stabbed, my lord?! How do you manage to switch between these 'easy-going' forms so abstractly and smoothly?!
"Ahem, calm down... everyone calm down." Mino's words escaped her lips, and she regained some composure, her resolute face still bearing an air of righteousness.
"That was just my subconscious, instinctive reaction, don't take it seriously. This time I'm serious!"
According to the Pavlov effect, Mino admitted that he had simply developed a reflex arc that would subconsciously say "freebie" upon hearing a "ding".
"Really?" Altothai squinted, his attitude quite skeptical.
"Of course! I've said it before, this time the wicked demon has crossed my line!"
Mino clenched his fist: "Moreover, this intelligence concerns not only the future of humanity but also damages my bonds! It is an unforgivable crime from any perspective!"
Mino's eyes were full of passion, his tone was high-spirited, and his gaze was as firm as if he wanted to join the Round Tower.
Correct! That's right!
Mino's gaze gradually moved downwards.
This is the biggest challenge to his bond with Chief Lark! No reward from any torture mission can sway it!
He saw the taskbar appear in his field of vision.
After losing the blessing painstakingly crafted by Chief Lak, he could only repay his earnest hopes with this never-give-up attitude!
Skipping over the lines of task requirements that were essentially freebies, Mino went straight to the description of the rewards.
Mino, it is his duty to protect humanity's glory...
[Reward: "Magic Jar Knowledge - Dual Swordsmanship - Starburst Stream Slash"]
[Bonus: Dual Wielding Mastery Lv.max]
"I admit it!"
Mino's resolute expression vanished in an instant:
"So you're a dual-wielder? Now you have no choice but to confess!"
"Hey—!!!" Altottai roared, his eyes wide with fury.
"Your mental preparation was completely unnecessary! You're toying with the Holy Sword's feelings! Even I was almost fooled by the emotional fluctuations transmitted through the soul contract!!!"
Altottai was furious:
"What happened to the promise that I crossed your line! What happened to the promise that I would never forgive you! What happened to the promise that it was just an instinctive reaction?!"
“That’s right, the demons have indeed crossed my bottom line…” Mino said in a deep voice, tilting his head back:
"So I've decided to lower my bottom line just a little bit!"
"This is more than just a little bit!!!"
Ignoring Altoté's cryptic greetings, Mino's eyes remained bright, her original intention unchanged.
No one can resist the Starburst Stream Slash; even the Dragon Ascension Sword has to take a backseat!
After all, this is not a legendary sword technique... but a mythical sword technique that has never been shown by anyone before!
Legendary sword skills are powerful martial arts displayed by human heroes in ancient times, but mythical sword skills are like true myths, passed down through ancient fairy tales and oral traditions since time immemorial, like the legacy of the Book Demon... never interrupted!
This is the most contradictory point: sword skills that have never been shown to the world are subconsciously perceived as real by countless people!
It's as if any trace of its existence has been completely erased.
And now, this mythical, unique sword technique is about to truly descend upon the world!
“I can endure the darkness, unless I never see the sun.” Mino tilted his head back, a look of melancholy on his face.
"It seems that all of this was a choice made by fate..."
"All of this is clearly the result of your choice, you free hero!!!" The veins on Altotai's sword were bulging, and the tip of the sword was jumping.
"I'm going to devour my master! I'm really going to devour my master!"
Mino, eager to claim her reward, ignored the noisy Altotai and simply left a single sentence, which became the golden phrase that Altotai etched into the Freebie Calendar.
"Though there be millions, I will surrender!"
Mino lost again.
Watching Kleidina, who looked utterly bewildered, slowly leave the cell, he was overwhelmed with excitement, as if he were the true victor.
"My lord, you actually... gave Shadow Fiend real information?"
"I had no choice, I was forced into this situation."
"By whom?"
"Something that exists in my mind."
"Get out!"
With a light cough, Mino decided to salvage his reputation a little in front of Altottai: "Altottai, I'm not doing this for myself, and the information I'm giving won't give those demons any chance."
"If you ask why... it's all thanks to Chief Lark's guidance!"
"The chief mage of the Round Tower, Lak?" Altothai's anger faltered as he took notice.
Mentioning the "Kingdom's Morning Star," even Altotai gradually developed a strange trust: "My lord, what do you mean by this? You, being in the Demon King's Castle, shouldn't have no way to contact that Chief Lak, right?"
“I myself don’t think so, but Chief Lark is a different story.” Mino gently tapped his temple, his eyes filled with deep admiration.
"On the day the blessing was completed, Chief Lak used a sensing crystal to establish a soul connection with the blessing within me. At that time, I didn't understand why he did that, but I only understand today..."
"Chief Lark's foresight foresaw this scene long ago!"
"If the demons begin to torture me with inhuman cruelty that involves my soul, that shattered sensor crystal will be the greatest warning to Chief Lark!"
Mino was filled with anticipation, feeling that Chief Lark's wisdom was as vast and boundless as the starry sky!
"At this moment, he is probably already calmly beginning to guard against the demons' actions, and at the same time, he is filled with deep concern and care for me!"
"Never underestimate a holy archmage like Altotai. His holy magic power is enough to cover the entire magic tower, and he can easily sense any trace of demonic energy penetrating him! And yet the demons actually dared to try to bypass Chief Lark and make some small moves inside Chief Lark's round tower in the magic stone storage room—it can only be said that they have chosen the wrong path!"
With eyes full of confidence, Mino said firmly:
"With my early warning, plus Chief Lak's divine perception..."
"The actions of those demons will be as transparent as darkness under the sun!!!"
Chapter 268 (Seeking Monthly Tickets!) Absorbing a Mythical-Level Sword Technique! All Demons Mobilize!
"Seriously... such a thing exists?!"
Altotai was shocked, revealing a deep sense of awe: the chief mage of the Round Tower, who was so good at scheming, was actually able to plot against the cunning and treacherous demons from thousands of miles away!
“He could even predict that our Lord would give it away for free. That Chief of Lak is no ordinary man…” Altottai’s tone was filled with unprecedented respect.
With this long-term planning and foresight, coupled with the peak power of that holy archmage, even if he is somewhat old, the chief of the Round Tower is probably the most powerful combat force and trump card in the human camp!
"I feel like your perspective on respect is a bit off... but never mind." Mino twitched her lips beside her.
He looked at the completed task list and prepared to claim the latest reward.
"open!"
As the solidified light gathered in his hand, a magic jar of knowledge, identical in shape to the one before, appeared in his palm. Inside, starlight-colored particles of light flowed, like transparent liquid floating within them.
"Huh? More magical knowledge in a jar?" Altottai became somewhat curious.
"What will be the activation conditions this time?"
Having learned from his previous experience opening the curry stick, Mino didn't rush to open it directly again. Instead, he turned the bottle over to look at it, and sure enough, he quickly found small print on the bottom indicating the conditions for opening the canned product.
Mino's expression turned serious.
Only he knew that what he held in his hand was a can of knowledge of mythical sword techniques, and the requirements inscribed on it were likely so stringent that even he, the strongest hero in human history, could not meet them!
What incredibly demanding conditions would be required to learn this mythical sword technique?!
A few beads of sweat appeared on Mino's forehead as he stared intently—
