Chapter 23: Father, filial son
The bright moon is about to fill and the night sky is clear.
The ghost prince Yada, standing on the walls of the floating city of Sacros, saw the mountains with snow-capped Thunder Peak, cold and desolate, but beautiful under the moonlight.
The top of the mountain is scattered with silver-white moonlight, like a row of jagged sharp teeth, while the foothills and slightly shorter hills hide in the shadows.
It is very close to the sea. Just turn your eyes to the south and you can see the Falling Star Sea, because Sacros City stops at a height of 3,000 meters in the city of Selgonte.
But the ghost prince could not see the sea, and Ms. Lost laid a dark curtain in the sky, blocking his sight.
The ghost city of Sultansa is closer to the sea than Sacros, but he still can't smell the sea.
Once upon a time, it was called the 'dried sandbank', a basin that stretched in all directions for dozens of kilometers, and was also a saline-alkali area with extreme moisture.
With the return of the Ghost City, his father, the Supreme King Terramant, cast the powerful magic "Marvin's World Weaving Technique", creating a sea of shadows that stretches thousands of square kilometers on this most barren land in Torrell's history.
The lake there is clear and cold, and dark clouds are lingering all year round.
The ghost city of Sultansa docked above the Sea of Shadows.
How to use the power of magic to transform nature is an important research direction for the great arcane masters during the Naserel Empire.
Among all the great arcanes, the great arcane Marvin is the best in this field.
The "World Weaving Technique" developed by him can be regarded as the pinnacle of the Naserel people in natural transformation.
This spell is also the only two spells in the Empire period that are known as 11-ring magic.
After the ghost city returned to the material plane, in the plan of the great prince Rivalan, he originally planned to unite the people of the Lost Lady Church to undermine the Supreme King Terramante, so that the goddess' believers could control the dominance of the floating city.
But when his father successfully performed "Marvin's World Weaving Technique", Revalan gave up this long-planned plan without hesitation.
The kinkiller will be cursed forever, Yada thought.
The ghost prince turned around, pulled away his hair in front of him, and looked down at the floating city of Sacros, salvaged from the sea of fallen stars.
The city of Sacros is mainly divided into two parts, a huge cut mountain turned over into the whole, and the center of the city is also a small circular hill with the top of the hill flattened and crowned with a deep shadow temple.
There is a 100-meter-high ghost tower on both sides of the Shadow Temple.
The outer city is located at the foot of the mountain, surrounded by stone walls covered with dark runes. The outlines of many ruins such as Arcane Academy, Alchemist Workshop, and Blacksmith shop are still preserved to this day.
When Yada led the ghost mages to dive into the sea, there were many coral reefs and coral fortresses of Shahuayumen growing in this floating city.
Their attacks destroyed all the coral fortresses, including the underwater temple of the Shark God Sekora, leaving only the silt and the corpses of the Shawman.
The only thing that is preserved is forty-four huge rock ribs that break out of the ground, like huge white tree trunks.
Seeing them, the ghost prince Yada couldn't help but his heart beat faster.
It is said that this is the corpse of the last giant dragon in the sea in the world, and it is the most powerful legendary creature born in the sea.
It feeds on sea monsters and dragon turtles, and can swallow the entire island when it is angry.
However, the Shaw Man's Shaw God Sekora personally descended to incarnate and killed the giant dragon in the sea, the spokesperson of the material world of Sekora, and the high priest of the Shaw Tribe turned its bones into fossils so that the Shaw Man in later generations would always remember the achievements of the Shaw God Sekora.
The ribs of the giant dragon in the sea became the beams and pillars of the Sekola Temple, and its mouth was regarded as the altar of the Shark God.
The Shark clan of the Sharkman ruled in Sacros for 2,07 years. Yada recalled the history that Brenas, a little archaeologist, told him.
The Shahua fishmen are enemies of the sea elves and fight against the believers of the God of Storm. They not only ruled the Falling Star Sea, but also ruled the surrounding rocky land.
This group of fishmen, known as the "deep sea devil" by coastal residents, wore robes woven by seaweed, and the teeth of the giant dragon in the sea were carved by them as the holy emblem of the shark god Sekora.
But this is a past event a thousand years ago. At that time, the Shahuayu people crossed the foggy coast and endless ocean swells. The ominous bass that made people's blood cool were the horns of their hunting and the call for their robbery and battle.
The Shahwa men were built on the walls of the Sachroth Palace, and were covered with brocades of silver seaweed. The Shahwa men warriors gathered at the huge tables in the shape of a starfish to enjoy the gifts of the sea, and even their seats were made of mother-of-pearl.
However, this has disappeared, and the years of glory of the Shahuayuman have disappeared, just like the former Naseril Empire.
It's time to end it all, and it's time to start over, Yada thought.
This ancient and sturdy floating city was built by the great arcane Solund, and was discovered by his youngest brother Brenas, who were again seized from the Shawarmen.
The current master of the Floating City belongs to the Tanshure family. The ghost prince Yada will not let it be lost from his own hands, nor will it crash in front of him.
If the floating city is really destroyed, he will accompany him, with a sharp sword in his hand and a smile on his face.
The cold sea breeze blew by, and the ghost prince standing on the city wall paused, and immediately felt a boundless coldness, stranding desperately into the gap in his armor.
He didn't even know when he hadn't felt this cold before. It seemed to be cold into the bones, and every bone seemed to be frigid.
This made him realize that when fighting with Brian in the Shadow Temple, the sequelae of being hit by a legendary death spell on his face was not yet gone because of his negligence.
"It's obviously just a spellcaster who has just stepped into the legendary realm, why is his attack so weird?" The ghost prince thought to himself. He gritted his teeth, a trace of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, and his whole body was trembling with the bone-bone cold.
"This mage lord of Mokou Town...is probably not so easily forced to death by himself."
Thinking of this, Yada seemed to remember something.
He endured the damage of his body being washed away by death energy, released his magical technique to relieve the pain, and quickly activated the teleportation array and appeared in Ramorak's ghost tower.
Lamorak's laboratory.
Yada saw the sixth-ranked younger brother, studying a benthic magic fish cub swimming around in a huge glass bottle on a pile of tables filled with experimental vessels.
"How did you do what I asked you to do?" Yada said to Ramolak coldly.
The ones responsible for the defense of the floating city Sachroth are Ramorak and Matic.
The former is the representative of the Neutral Clan of the Holy City, while Matik is his father's man. The purpose of doing this is nothing more than to keep power balanced.
But Yada had no good feelings for Ramorak, the elder sixth child. On the contrary, he preferred his younger brother Desude, who was ranked fifth.
Desude's wisdom and keen insight can always help him solve problems and troubles that he cannot solve.
In Yada's impression, his father, the Supreme King Terramante, had personally admitted that among his many brothers, the two who had the most hope of breaking through the higher legends were Desud and Brenas.
"You have no right to order me to do anything, Yada." Ramolak replied without raising his head, "You must know that just now, I was facing a voter of a mysterious lady, the leader of the Harpist Alliance. In order to hold this powerful lady away from making trouble in the floating city, do you know how much pressure I was facing at that time?"
"Yes, you don't know at all." He raised his head, his face as haggard as if he hadn't had a rest for several months. He was playing with a skull without a jaw in his hand, "And now, my dear brother, you actually want me to face the demon lord of the bottomless abyss. You are too proud of my strength."
Yada remained silent and said no reply.
What Ramorak said was unreasonable. After all, when they went to the underground ruins of the Demon Lord together, no one except his elder brother Rivalan could withstand the devil Lord's blasphemy. Even the priests and warriors who followed them to die under the devil's truth.
The most important thing is that they could not kill him. Revalan was also worried that the battle would be too intense, which would accidentally destroy the earth vein magic circle that the great arcane Solund was proud of.
This is the main reason. This set of earth vein magic array system that has been preserved to this day also has a considerable increase value for the energy conversion of Shadow Magic Net Stone.
As for his purpose of asking Ramolak, it was nothing more than asking him to help him check what happened after Brian entered the underground space.
As the saying goes, "If you die, you will see a person, and if you live, you will see a corpse."
Feeling the powerful power of death washed away his body, letting his instinctive intuition tell himself that the mage lord of Mokou Town would not die so easily by the demon lord.
"I'm not asking you to check it out in person, Ramolak," said Yada, "just let you use the Observation Eye of the Ghost Tower to carefully check the specific situation of the underground space."
"I will do what you told me, dear brother." Ramolak rubbed his fingertips against the skull in his hand and said seriously:
"But it's not now. After all, it's not easy to let reconnaissance magic penetrate the fog of the earth's vein magic array. Haven't you seen it? I'm very busy. You've disturbed a mage who is doing research for a long time. Life is precious, but this is not a reason for us to waste our time."
The kinkiller will be cursed forever, Yada thought.
"I don't want to talk nonsense to you here." The ghost prince restrained the murderous intent in his eyes, snorted coldly, and said in a mocking tone:
"Because whenever you put on a wise and meaningful look, you spit out all the nonsense. You look like a clown at this point compared to DeSude."
When he was mentioned of pain, Ramorak's face twitched and said with a smile:
"You are right, my dear brother, but you must also understand that some people's fate looks gorgeous on the outside but hides a horrifying essence, because they have no idea what they have done, and have already reached the bloody claws to them."
Yada naturally heard the true meaning of the other party's words, but he didn't care. In his opinion, Ramolak's mockery was just fifty steps to laugh and a hundred steps.
He knew clearly that in the shadow plane at the beginning of the demise of Neserel, he, the sixth brother, was the first to take the initiative to stand up and accept the ritual of the ghost transformation.
"The purpose of doing this is to consider the safety of the floating city."
Yada didn't want to talk nonsense to him, realizing that because of the next words, it was very likely that the other party would find an opportunity to mock him, and he also said bluntly:
"I witnessed the leader of the Harpist Alliance leaving Saxroth, and saw Ms. Lost Shadow Incarnation chasing three other people personally, but I cannot guarantee that those who fall into the sealed land will die at the hands of the Demon Lord. After all, it is the guardian land of the Shadow Demon Net Stone and the Earth Vein Magic Formation, if..."
"If that's a big deal! It seems that you have been scared by the little lord of the Mokou Formation." Ramorac interrupted his words, and really did not forget to mock him:
"It can be seen that his spell has made you tremble all over. Not killing him with your own hands is your mistake and your dereliction of duty. Since it is your dereliction of duty, why not go see it yourself?"
"Ahh! I understand, you're scared, right? But don't worry, because I understand the situation of the underground space, and the inner magic circle was reinforced by me personally. I can assure you." He stroked the skull in his hand, and a confident smile appeared on his haggard face, "Let me believe that this little lord survived, I would rather believe that Sachros crashed!"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! As if in response to the words of the ghost prince, the entire tower suddenly swayed slightly. The cubs of benthic magic fish swimming around in the huge glass bottle also showed a panic expression and kept hitting the bottle with their heads.
Both ghost princes have changed their expressions.
Ramolak's smile froze on his haggard face. He quickly waved his hand, and a black smoke gushed out of his playing skull.
The smoke floated in mid-air and turned into a circle, and the interior presented the overall scene of the floating city of Sachros.
"Boom!"
The roaring explosion sounded like a thunder erupting, and the entire floating city began to shake violently, as if it was falling into the doomsday of the world.
At the same time, the two saw a rolling cloud of mushrooms breaking out of the cracked ground and rising slowly. The circular and strange clouds under the night gave people an extremely shocking feeling and a sense of destruction.
At the same time, the Shadow Temple also collapsed and shattered at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into ruins under the erosion of the mushroom cloud.
The terrible energy gushed out from the ground was like dozens of volcanoes erupting at the same time, and a surging energy storm began to rage, destroying all the things that were hindering.
The soldiers on patrol were blown away by the burst of energy, and the priests who had no time to escape from the temple evaporated instantly.
Exclamations and screams resounded throughout the floating city, and even Yada stood on the tower, he could hear it clearly.
Obviously, this terrifying destructive energy not only destroyed the Shadow Temple, but also the earth vein magic array and Shadow Demon Net Stone in the entire floating city were also destroyed, including the protective magic array of the Yin Soul Tower.
"Sakros is over..."
Looking at the scene in front of him, the ghost prince Yada appeared in his mind of fighting with the mage lord of Mokou Town, as well as the scene of the other party falling into the abyss.
He couldn't help but secretly regret why he didn't drag his seriously injured body at that time, and he also risked to go to the demon's sealed land to check.
Instead of choosing to escape, he sighed softly, then closed his eyes in despair, as if he was quietly waiting for the final blow to end his life.
"I knew, fuck! I never had the luck."
Ramolak's face changed drastically, and he was furious. Because he was too excited, he could not maintain his original appearance, and his true form suddenly appeared.
These are two blood-red eyes wrapped in thick black fog, as well as a black skeleton and a black heart that is still beating in the chest.
"I have never had the luck. As soon as I got control of the floating city, such a thing happened. Even my ghost tower had to be compensated."
A glass bottle containing a cub of benthic magic fish was taken away out of thin air by Ramolak. While quickly restraining the laboratory's research items, he cursed and said, "It's really damn, what's going on? Such a powerful destructive energy... it's not that the King of Balo Flame Demons was killed."
"What a joke, it's impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"
All he had was his bones and his eyes, and his body rolled violently in the thick fog floating in the air.
"How can a spellcaster who has just advanced to the legend kill the demon lord Barolo's Fire Demon King!? This is absolutely impossible!!!"
…………
Under the bright moonlight.
Brian looked at the two corpses on the ground and his expression became extremely gloomy.
After killing the King of Balo Fire Demon, he immediately broke through the fog in the underground space and appeared at the meeting place that had been discussed with others in advance.
However, an accident happened.
All those who awaited him were Storm and two corpses, and no trace of the Drow girl Santira was found.
At this moment, he saw that the storm on the side had opened his eyes, quickly cast a puzzled look and asked, "How is it? Did you find out who did it?"
"I've traced back to what happened before here." The leader of the harpist slowly stood up and sighed, a hint of sadness floated over his beautiful face. "The picture is very blurry, and it looks like a dark dancer."
"Dark Dancer?" Brian frowned.
It is said that when Lost Lady Shar descended to the material world, her incarnation had two completely different images: the Night Singer and the Dark Dancer.
Ye Yongzhe was wearing a wide black robe and a black feather mask on her face. The dense black feathers flowed from her face into the depths of the hood.
The night chanter did not speak. When she opened her mouth, what she chanted from her mouth was a song full of sadness and loss.
In contrast, another image of Shahr's incarnation: the dark dancer, who appeared in very few clothes.
The dark dancer has a beautiful and graceful dancer figure, and her clothes can only slightly conceal her slightly shiny black and jade-like skin. The woman will dance charming circumcision and gaze with her tempting teasing and 'persuading' mortals to worship her.
"You mean..." Brian didn't continue, because he felt that this guess was difficult for him to convince himself.
Since the 'Ofa Catastrophe' has subsided, the rules between the gods have changed dramatically.
The most profound influence on the material world is that it is difficult for the gods to possess the incarnation of divine power and descend to the material plane.
It is precisely for this reason that the five-colored dragon queen Tiamat tried his best to let the Dragon Worshipers hold an unprecedentedly powerful ceremony, trying to bring their incarnation to the material world.
If this plan is really successful, then the incarnation of Tiamat is an invincible existence in the material world, and conquering the world is also easy.
So, he really couldn't believe what huge price would be paid by Ms. Lost Shar to come to his incarnation.
After all, he had never heard of such a thing in the ten years in the game world.
Even the City of Ghost and Shar Church were for a period of time beaten by the elves of Mess Zhuono and the elected people of the Magic Goddess, resulting in the scarred magic net being repaired, and the plan to replace the Magic Net in Shadow Magic Net was declared bankrupt, and the incarnation of Miss Lost has never appeared.
"That's right."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The gentle words of the storm broke the last glimmer of hope that Brian had been lucky. She looked up at the bright moonlight, allowing the cold moonlight to scatter on her graceful figure, and said in a gentle tone, "It is indeed the incarnation of Miss Lost's dark dancer."
"What is the situation?" Brian asked confusedly, "What method did Ms. Lost descend to the material world?"
Feng Storm raised his slender jade hand, waved it gently, and an invisible barrier wrapped the two of them inside, and replied with a serious expression, "Divine Sword."
God-killing Sword?!!!
Hearing these words, Brian's face changed drastically.
As a player who is familiar with the history of the country, how could he have never heard of the legend of the "God-killing Sword".
This matter must start with the catastrophe of the Saint.
In the turbulent years, a large-scale catastrophe of saints broke out in the material plane, and many gods were knocked down to the mortal world by the "god god" Aio and appeared in the form of a saint.
One of the masterminds was the Three Gods of Death in the evil camp at that time.
In order to avoid the danger of the saint catastrophe, the god of thieves, Meske turned himself into a magical weapon, which is the God-killing Sword mentioned by the Storm!
This sword fell into the hands of Cialik, who was still a mortal at the time, which was now the murder god who was sealed for being crazy and the creator of Cialik.
In the turbulent years, Cirick, who was still a mortal, used this sword to kill Barr, the god of killing among the three gods of death.
After that, the god of thieves, Ske, betrayed the phantom girl Laila to Cialique, allowing the god of murder to seize the phantom clergy.
It was also mentioned when Brian saved the ranger Azara that the "Shiri" was used as a test for the first time on Bozor, the lord of Santir Fort.
But the god of thieves at that time, Meske, happened to pretend to be the lord and read the book instead of him.
The Cialis successfully weaves a net of lies in Mesk's consciousness, forcing the thief God to give up part of His divine power (conspiracy and clergy), and then he successfully escapes.
This is not the end. This thief god who likes to commit suicide has gotten into trouble with the "Chaos Demon Dog" Kozef, a demon dog that can even bite off the arm of the powerful divine power Tyr.
It is precisely this reason that people in the world think that the god of thieves has long since fallen.
"Miske, the God of Thieves, is not dead." Storm expressed the doubts in Brian's heart.
"In the process of the Chaos Demon Dog chasing Him, in order to survive, He voluntarily gave up his priesthood of stealing and thieves, but things went against his wishes. He only had the original body of the shadow priesthood imprisoned by the Lost Lady, and was remade into the God-killing Sword, which was left in the material plane."
"What you mean..." Brian suddenly realized and subconsciously expressed his guess, "Ms. Lost acquired the divine power of the God-killing Sword, which allowed her to have the strength comparable to the incarnation of a god in the material plane."
But there is one problem he still can't understand, that is, why in the game world in his previous life, I never heard of anything about the "God-killing Sword".
Could it be because...
Brian looked shocked, the truth seemed to be getting closer and closer to him.
"That's probably what it means." Fengshang nodded slightly and shook his head again. "According to my speculation, there should be many restrictions here. As for what it is, I don't know."
"I understand." Brian nodded slightly and asked with a serious expression.
"So, I'm very curious about what agreement did the dark girl Elise Trek secretly reach with the goddess of the moon, so that Ms. Lost would use this hidden power to kill her reincarnation."
Obviously, this is because of Santira.
After all, in the game world, until Brian traveled through time, this Drow girl had never awakened her divine bloodline.
However, in this real world, the influence of the Spider God Queen Rose, the artifact of Chirashar Rose and his, led to her awakening in advance, and was noticed by Ms. Lost.
In other words, the entire incident was caused by Brian.
At this moment, he could only secretly hope that Santila, who had lost her trace, could escape the pursuit of Miss Lost.
When the two were half-plane, he heard Santila’s claim that the elf Lord Kerrellon would not let her die so easily.
"You guessed it."
The leader of the harpist looked at Brian in surprise, then smiled slightly helplessly, saying to him, "As the initiator of all events, you have the right to know these things."
"Trough cake!"
She was about to speak, but suddenly her expression changed and she said to Brian, "I received a message from Xinbu. She was ambushed by Revalan. Let's go and help her get out of trouble first."
…………
The Supreme King Terramant walked out of the dark void.
The unimaginable magical energy overflowed from his raised palm, and instantly shaking, the floating city of Sacros, which was about to crash, gently placed on the empty land.
The Ten-Ring Spell of the Neserier Empire "The Peak of Protic"
As usual.
The Supreme King of the Ghost City is dressed in ancient and traditional, black armor symbolizing the rule of the Naserrel Empire, paired with a dragon-winged cloak, fixed-style arm armor and dark purple robe.
His personal mark: a lion-like creature depicted in a black outline on a blood-red background, with dragon-like wings.
The ghost prince Yada looked at the supreme king Terramante Tanshul, who was turning the situation around, and his father.
Although the floating city was saved, their losses were still very heavy.
The Shadow Temple built for Ms. Lost Lady Shar was the first to be hit. The entire Shadow Magic Network system collapsed and countless clergy members died.
This heavy blow was enough to make all their next actions stranded.
Looking at the Supreme King Terramante who was falling from the sky, Yada found that his expression was sluggish and his breathing was a little rapid. Even the eyes that he dared not look at were a little dim.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! This made him realize that something might have happened, or a fierce battle, during the process of the Supreme King leaving the world of the Magic Net.
He subconsciously groped his hand onto the hilt of the sword, and then gently moved it away.
The kinkiller will be cursed forever, Yada thought.
Whenever he recalls this sentence, he can't help but think of his long-dead mother.
This sentence is the last sentence his mother left to their brothers before she died.
It is this sentence that is like a long alarm bell that makes the twelve ghost princes in Sultanza City, no matter how hatred each other, will not kill them.
Even though dozens of centuries have passed, the ghost prince Yada can still remember the little and little bits of beautiful memories hidden in the deepest part of his heart.
But his mother died in an assassination, and all the doubts pointed to his father, Terramante Tanshul, the supreme king of the ghost city.
Even if the beloved little Brenas of their brothers asked his mother about the cause of death in person, his father never gave them an accurate answer.
"Don't go your brother's path, Yada."
The Supreme King Terramante's voice was so soft that he had to listen quietly, "I warn you that I will not bear it anymore from now on."
"Even if you are right." Yada mustered up the courage and looked straight into the Supreme King's eyes, as if he wanted to see through the truest thoughts deep in his heart:
"The cycle of night has ceased, and I will serve Lady Lost, and if you want her to be helped in the war that follows, do your best to carry out every plan of the goddess."
"Ms. Lost never cared about ancient empires and noble blood, she valued abilities above everything else," he continued, "A strong man like you, when Ms. Lost ruled the world, anyone would bow to you."
"If you need help, I believe Rivalan is being punished, Yada." Under the bleak moonlight, the Supreme King stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly:
"He's gone crazy, he thinks he'll end the world, his thoughts are tossing and turning in the cage that Lady Lost has prepared for him, he dreams of only darkness and the ending, and suffers for it."
“If you don’t want your child to suffer, you should do your best to help the Lost Lady.”
A sudden burst of anger arose in Yada's heart, but he did not vent it on the following words. He didn't even know whether he dared or other reasons.
“I am angry from the beginning to the end that you have not really devoted yourself to your faith in the Lost Lady, how could you fall into this field if you fully assist our plan.”
"Maybe." The Supreme King shook his head slightly, revealing unprecedented seriousness and solemnity in his calm voice:
"I have completed the agreement with Ms. Lost. This is my last move. I hope you can remember that the future is not visible, tomorrow is unknown, but fate has been decided and cannot be changed."
Magical energy flows, and the Supreme King disappears into nothingness.
Staring at the disappearing figure of the Supreme King Terramante, the ghost prince Yada suddenly had a premonition that it was very likely that it was his last meeting with his father.
Chapter completed!
