Chapter 170: A Familiar Gaze

"Shepherd" Lovia's response made Joshua even more vigilant, and he looked at the other members of the exploration team and asked eagerly:

"Do you hear unusual footsteps?"

Carrying the "Thor's Roar" sledgehammer and straight broadsword, Derrick recalled for a few seconds, shook his head in denial, and Heim, who was holding the "Darkless Cross", looked at the seal that had not changed in light, and responded:

"Maybe it's your hallucination?"

"No, I hear you very clearly. Joshua, wearing red gloves, frowned and expressed his opinion.

Hearing this, the "Demon Hunter" Colin who was at the forefront half turned his body and calmly ordered:

"Heim, Antilna, check Joshua's condition. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency. Heim immediately walked up to Joshua and pressed the "Darkless Cross" of pure light against his team's forehead.

The seal has not changed in any way.

Immediately afterward, Antilna, a burgundy-haired female warrior, also came to Joshua's side and raised her left hand.

She wore a pale gold bracelet around her wrist with three small bells covered in gold scales.

The jingling sound echoed all around, calming Joshua's mind from being so tense and impatient.

"No problem. Antilna set her sights on Chief Colin Iliad.

Colin's eyes were already highlighting two complex dark green symbols, and he looked at Joshua for a few seconds, then nodded:

"It's not necessarily a hallucination, but you should always be aware of any abnormalities in yourself. ”

Seeing that the chief supported himself, Joshua secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Okay. ”

Putting aside their doubts for a moment, the Silver City Exploration Team continued to descend the huge staircase sprinkled with dusk light, layer after layer.

Suddenly, everyone heard a muffled grunt.

Out of the corner of his eye, Derick Berg saw Joshua raise his hands and tighten his grip on his own neck.

Because he is the "Knight of Dawn", his own strength is extremely strong, and as soon as he snorted, his hands snapped and broke his neck bone.

Joshua's expression was gloomy and distorted, and his eyes were full of disbelief:

It was he who killed him!

Although "......" Derick and the others failed to react to what happened in time, their long-term training and experience in the depths of the darkness made them instinctively form a battle formation and be alert to possible attacks in the future.

Then they heard another muffled grunt.

This comes from the "shepherd" elder Lovia.

The lady with long silver-gray hair had constricted muscles in her face, and there were obvious twitches and squirming, as if she was growing another face.

She fell to her knees on the wide staircase with a thud, and the pain was palpable.

Her hands slowly but uncontrollably lifted and pinched her neck.

Just as Lovia was about to exert her strength, two straight swords coated with silver ash ointment reached out and picked her palms apart.

The "Demon Hunter" Colin, who had already prepared, responded in time.

Lovia twitched all over, her head buried lower, her mouth open, and she spat out pieces of broken flesh and incomplete organs.

She exhaled, as if she had finally recovered, and then propped herself on her elbows, took a step forward, and crawled back to swallow back piece by piece of flesh and blood that she had just spit out, reverent and humble.

Colin, the "Demon Hunter" with several old scars on his face, watched this scene quietly and did not stop it.

Finally, Lovia raised her head, and said with pale gray eyes that were not focused:

"It's depravity.

"It's a depravity that everyone has. ”

"Do you have a solution?" asked Colin without changing his tone.

Luo Wei nodded without hesitation:

"Yes. ”

As soon as the words fell, she had already grasped the index finger of her left hand with her right hand, snapped it off with a snap, pulled it out forcefully, stuffed the blood bone into her mouth, and whispered while chewing:

"The Creator of all;

"The master behind the veil of shadows;

"The Fallen Nature ...... All Living Beings"

The honorific name of the "True Creator...... Darik's eyelids jumped at the hearing, and he suddenly felt as if something subtle had changed around him.

The orange-red twilight glow was a little thicker, closer to the color of blood.

Above the gray mist, the expression of "Fool" Klein also instantly became solemn.

Although he saw nothing through his "true vision", he could vaguely perceive that gaze was being cast from a distant place, so much so that it interfered with his own observation, causing the clarity and scope to be diminished.

Plus, that gaze gave Klein a strange sense of familiarity.

It's hard to be familiar with it, but the first half of my life after I crossed over was dealing with Him—His Son, His Messenger, His Dependents, His Remnants, His Crazy Whispers, His frescoes...... At this moment, Crane was completely sure that it was the "True Creator" who began to look at the Silver City exploration team.

Frankly speaking, when Lovia began to recite that person's honorific name, Klein wanted to give her a "lightning storm" directly to eliminate the problem before it appeared, but he finally resisted this impulse, because he was not sure that he could kill the "shepherd" with one blow - the evil spirit that Lovia grazed should have a sequence of 3 personalities itself, although it has long been dead, but the current comprehensive strength is still a sequence of 4 levels, and it will not be a problem to support it for a while in the "lightning storm" that is close to but has not yet reached the angel level.

And once the "Fool" can't simply kill Lovia lightly, then in the eyes of the "Demon Hunter" Colin, it will be timid.

In addition, Klein believed that Colin Iliad was happy to see the "Shepherd" elder Lovia recite the name of the "true Creator", and he wanted to balance Mr. "Fool" with this.

This is actually an act of disrespect in front of the gods, and it is easy to annoy the great beings, but Colin Iliad has no way, he will not and cannot simply believe in the "fool" and the "true creator", he can only try to maintain it, and try to test it on the edge of the cliff.

Only in this way will the Silver City not be suddenly destroyed, like those city-states that have been buried in the depths of darkness and covered with the dust of history.

It's a pity, if the "Dark Cross" is in my hands at this time, and I fully mobilize the power of the mysterious space above the gray fog to cooperate, there is a hope that I will kill that silver knight evil spirit in an instant...... This is natural restraint...... Klein sighed silently, and could only accept such a development.

- He hadn't noticed anything unusual about Joshua before, and it wasn't until the red-gloved Silver City warrior choked his neck that he saw the other party's spirit turn gray and gloomy.

As the "shepherd" elder said, this is one's own "depravity", which is not much different from losing oneself because of money and beauty, and it is difficult to be detected by external forces.

"That staircase is supposed to have remnants of divine power representing 'fallen', integrated into the environment, difficult to discover, difficult to fight...... The previous stone men had no wisdom and no spirituality, but were not affected...... Judging from the honorable name, the 'true creator' has a depraved nature, and just looking at it can make the corresponding power fade......" Klein adjusted his mindset and continued to observe the subsequent development.

In the process, he couldn't help but think about a question:

Is the "True Creator" now watching the actions of the Silver City Exploration Team in His kingdom of God, just like himself?

...... On Earth, it's called a friend who watches the same live broadcast...... If I "rewarded", would the "real creator" "reward" more? Klein used a teasing and complaining idea to ease the tension and worry caused by the "real creator" staring at him.

That is a true god, neither Adam nor Amun, who is worthy of him!

By this time, the "shepherd" Lovia had already gotten up, and her missing left index finger was wriggling and growing.

She looked at Chief Colin Iliad and said:

"This area is no longer depraved. ”

This also means that the staircase position is less dangerous.

Normally, the exploration team would not care about Joshua's body at this time, whether it was advancing or retreating, they could not waste time, staying in an extremely dangerous area for too long, that would cause accidents for other team members, but since the elder of the "Council of Six" Luo Wei said in a sure tone that there was no problem nearby, they could take a break and deal with it.

Darek put down Heim's broadsword, walked to Joshua's side, stared for a few seconds, bent down to pick up the other's red glove, and slipped it on his left palm.

He still remembered that Joshua always showed off the magical item he had obtained during the exploration, and he could clearly recall that when he walked out of the town camp in the afternoon, the other party said that after the exploration was over, he would be forced to marry, and he didn't know who his wife would be, and an hour later, the teammate was turned into a cold corpse.

For everyone in Silver City, this is the daily life, no one cries and collapses, but there is a certain emotion that has been integrated into the bone marrow and blood, an emotion mixed with heaviness and grief.

They watched as Darek raised his left hand and pointed his palm at Joshua's body.

A blazing flame flew out, covering their teammates who had been fighting side by side just a moment.

After the cautery, Colin the "Demon Hunter" put away the extraordinary properties that had been precipitated, and the rest of the team each grabbed a handful of ashes and put them in the pocket of their clothes.

In silence, they continued their descent to the bottom of the staircase, where there was a majestic palace bathed in the light of dusk, and behind it were corridors and staircases leading to other areas.

The doors of the palace were open, and it was pitch black, and no light could shine in.

"Demon Hunter" Colin looked carefully for a while and said:

"It's the same as in the outside world. ”

What he meant was to keep the light in every way and not to plunge himself into absolute darkness.

Henm then inspires the glow of the "Darkless Cross" and envelops all of his teammates, while Antilna lights a lantern and holds it in her hand to prevent the Cross from suddenly failing.

The group entered the palace and walked through the hall that seemed unusually empty, their footsteps drifting far away, and none of them returned.

As he walked, Daeric suddenly felt his eyelids become heavier, and he felt a strong sense of sleepiness.

It was at this moment that he heard the Chief's low roar:

"Don't fall asleep!"

Darek woke up suddenly, free from the exhaustion of not being able to open his eyes.

At this moment, a female warrior fell to the ground with a limp, as if she had fallen asleep.

Then she disappeared out of thin air, disappeared like that, and disappeared directly in front of everyone.

Colin "Demon Hunter" and "Shepherd" Lovia looked at each other for a while, both shook their heads, and led the team on.

In the process, they hurt themselves from time to time, trading pain for sobriety.

Finally, they passed through the arches and saw that there was no longer darkness that could not be dispelled.

With the help of the light in the procession, they discovered that it was a hall depicted with numerous murals, and in the center of the hall was a long dark red table, surrounded by intricately patterned high-backed chairs.

This...... Dyric somehow felt this familiar.

He quickly came to his senses, which was somewhat similar to the scene of the tarot party!

Suddenly, a cloud of light lit up, and whispers rang out around them.

Around the hall, on the stone pillars that had been erected but did not support the dome, red flames were lit one after another, illuminating the surroundings unusually brightly.

The whispering voice grew louder and louder, and it seemed that it had finally passed through a long and distant time and space to reach its destination, making the hall lively as if it were a party.

Around the dark red long table, vague and illusory figures rose up and sat on different high-backed chairs, a total of eleven.
