Two figures, a female and a male, stood on top of the boulder, looking down at the screaming and unaware humans beneath their feet.

The male figure erected his body, raised his head, and the red flesh sac on his chest quickly inflated and grew from the original shriveled state, and finally turned into a huge sphere.

Alfonso, who was sitting on the mound, put the greatsword at his side, took a deep breath, and said to Randall beside him, "Cover your ears with your hands." ”

"Cover your ...... Ears?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp, piercing noise, like a thousand pieces of glass being cut by a saw blade, spread from the top of the mountain to the entire hill.

Looking at the entire army, except for the orcs, werewolves, and minotaurs, which are strong creatures, most of the soldiers were caught off guard and were directly stunned by the screams of the shadows.

The sound was so unbearable that for a moment Randall thought his soul had left his body.

Randall, who was no longer able to support his body, fell heavily to the ground.

With the bell chime ringing in his head, all the scenery in front of him slowly blurred.

A cold, biting wind blew through the bare hills, and the old withered trees emerged from the ground like twisted and deformed corpses.

Randall walked along the muddy and dirty path, and the grass and trees in front of him pierced his heart like sharp iron needles, making him tremble.

A terrible old tree with a crooked neck obscured the night, and a pair of women's bare feet swayed in the wind.

Randall knelt down in front of the old tree, looking at the inhuman-like corpse in front of him that had been gnawed by maggots, his fingers digging deep into the dirt, his face like dead ashes.

Randall hung his shoulders weakly and muttered, "I thought I was out of it all......"

"Human ...... Original Sin ......"

Hearing a faint voice in the air, Randall raised his head and asked aloud, "Who are you?!"

"Guilt...... Kick oneself...... Regret...... Delicious. ”

"Tell me!Who are you?!"

The strange sound was completely gone, as if it had never existed.

The next second, Randall felt someone slapping him in the face.

He opened his eyes hard, and the landscape in front of him changed back to the shape of the distant ember hills.

Aldnan kept patting Randall's face with his furry paws, and found that the latter slowly woke up, took a long breath, and said, "Seeing that you haven't woken up for a long time, we are still worried that something is wrong." ”

Randall shook his drowsy head, looked at the team members gathered around him, and asked suspiciously, "How long have I been in a coma?"

Bourville the Minotaur replied, "About ten minutes." ”

Barbara cupped Randall's face with both hands and asked with concern, "Are you okay?" ”

"I'm fine. ”

Randall struggled to his feet from the ground and asked the crowd, "When are we going to attack?"

Kellogg threw the dagger in his hand, spat out the letter, and said, "The battle is over. ”

"What did you say?!"

Looking at Randall, who looked surprised, Aldenan gestured with his paws and said excitedly: "It's a pity that you didn't see it just now!" After the two strange war beasts on the top of the mountain howled, the entire enemy defense line completely collapsed, and the enemy's heads were like ripe watermelons, all of which exploded. Blood spurted out of the veins like boiling water, up to a height of seven or eight meters. ”

Randall frowned, brushed aside the man in front of him, and looked towards the top of the mountain in the distance.

To his great surprise, the earth and rocks on the top of the mountain could no longer be seen in their original appearance. The crimson object completely covered the entire top of the hill, and it looked as if it had been painted with red paint.

With an uneasy feeling, Randall slowly walked towards the top of the mountain.

Valkyries hovered in the sky, looking for escapees, Holy Army soldiers counting enemy corpses and equipment, and Dragonbone Knights and Beast Controls transporting and treating beasts killed and wounded in battle.

Stepping on the dark red dirt, Randall endured the sticky touch like a swamp under his feet and went straight to Alfonso, who was directing the clearing of the battlefield.

"Your Excellency. ”

Hearing the voice behind him, Alfonso turned around and nodded at Randall: "The finishing work here will be completed soon, and you will return to the camp of the command with me later." ”

Randall was about to say something when his gaze from a distance alerted him.

He looked back and saw the male figure lying on the rocks high up, looking like he was pretending to sleep, but his dark eyes were staring at Randall motionlessly.

Randall suddenly had the illusion that these pure black eyes were like bottomless black holes, slowly dragging him into the abyss.

Forcing himself to look away, Randall found that behind him, the female Phantom had a relatively intact corpse in her mouth, and she quickly shuttled between the rocks and returned to the male Phantom.

Placing the corpse next to her companion, the female phantom raised her paw to signal for the other to move first.

The male squinted and shook his head, leaning towards Randall, his jaw-like mouth twitching slightly, as if he was saying something.

The female turned her face to Randall, looking the latter up and down.

After a few moments, as if losing interest in something boring, the female figure lowered her head and bit the corpse's head with her jaws, and began to feast on the brains in her skull.

Listening to the chilling voice, Randall closed his eyes and turned his head, forcing himself to calm down.

"Impossible...... They're just beasts, I must have been over-minded......"

Randall muttered to himself as he walked over to Alfonso's side and hesitated for a moment to ask, "Can I ask something?"

Alfonso put away his broadsword and turned to walk down the mountain: "Talk as you go." ”

Randall followed Alfonso's footsteps and asked, "Those two Shadow Dreadclaws, what are their origins?"

Alfonso slowed down, his words a little uncertain: "The Phantom is a war beast that His Majesty personally brought out from the Eye of Hell in Ancient City. ”

"According to His Majesty, unlike war beasts such as giant wolves and poisonous lizards, the place where the Shadow lives is thousands of meters underground, near the very bottom of the Eye of Hell, and can be said to be one of the oldest and most mysterious creatures there. ”

"Your Majesty once inadvertently mentioned that in the deepest depths of the Eye of Hell, there are thousands of powerful war beasts of different shapes, some of which can rival even an army. However, these war beasts are tyrannical and loners, making it difficult for them to integrate into life on earth. ”

When Randall heard this, he asked strangely, "What about the phantoms, and how did they agree to come to earth?"

"Part of it is due to His Majesty's strength, and part of it is due to the fact that the war beasts of the Shadow Dreadclaw race are willing to communicate with other intelligent species. ”

"What do you mean?"

Alfonso was silent for a moment, then said: "Your Majesty has not explained this very clearly. ”

Randall hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Did Your Majesty ever mention that ghosts can peek into the hearts of humans?"

Alfonso stopped, turned to Randall, and said in a deep voice, "Never mentioned it." ”

"Phantom likes to devour nerve centers such as the brain and spine, and it is often rumored that such beasts can read minds, but in reality, there is no evidence to prove this rumor. Alfonso stared into Randall's eyes: "Did you see any visions?"

Randall opened his mouth, but didn't make a sound.

After thinking about it for a while, he finally shook his head.
