Chapter 212: The Realm of the Dead
The area covered by this invisible barrier was so large that it not only covered the city of Deira, but even extended a distance of about a kilometer outside the city of Deira, covering a forest of houses and more than a dozen manors!
When darkness falls completely, a new change emerges!
In the port area of Deira, there is a towering lighthouse, in the past, the top of this lighthouse always burned with an inextinguishable light, in countless fogs and nights for the direction of the merchant ships coming to Deira, so it was affectionately called the "silent guide" by the seafarers!
In order to make the lighthouse better able to take on this responsibility, the Curtis family has continuously strengthened and increased its height over the long years, so it can be said that standing on the top of the lighthouse, you can overlook the entire city of Deira!
At this time, a burly black-robed man was standing at the top of the lighthouse, condescendingly looking at the city in front of him that was gradually turning into a sea of fire, a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and after he took a deep breath, he said intoxicated: "War, killing and death!"
"What a pleasure!"
"I smell chaos spreading!"
"Tremble, fear, weep!"
"Then, in despair, wait for death to come!"
"Your fears, your souls, your flesh and blood, everything will be reduced to my ladder to heaven!"
The black-robed man suddenly raised his right hand, and he could see that he was holding a heart full of evil and strange aura in his hand, and it was even beating silently!
There are many ugly tumors growing on the surface of the heart, and what flows under the translucent surface skin is not blood, but a trace of three-colored divine power!
"It's just the beginning!"
"Now, it's time to give the people of Dera a deeper despair!"
With a cruel smile, the black-robed man chanted the incantation of the abyssal language in an extremely distorted and strange tone, and his high voice weaved into a strange and mysterious abyssal ballad, which drifted into the distance and gradually penetrated into every corner of the city, and the entire city seemed to be filled with this abyssal ballad with strange power!
Bang!
In the sky, a black lightning bolt suddenly slashed down!
Everywhere in the city of Deira, which has become a huge labyrinth.
Numerous people, nobles, commoners, merchants, soldiers, peddlers, fishermen, peasants, craftsmen, and even beggars and gangsters, regardless of occupation or status, came out of their dwellings.
Today, they all wear red, yellow, and gray robes, which represent the three strange tricolors of the ancient gods of death.
While the others were all hiding in their homes due to the sudden changes in the outside world, these people took to the streets, seemingly ignoring the effects of the barrier, and gathered in various pre-agreed places with a clear purpose.
Their eyes were cloudy, their expressions were dull, their faces were stiff, and their bodies were covered with a layer of gray mist, and they didn't say a word to leave or gather, they just gathered quietly, and then lined up into patterns that had special meanings in [Runes] and [Circle Studies].
In the midst of the magical abyssal ballads, they took out a white bone dagger, and then stabbed themselves in the heart with mechanical movements, and then twisted it again!
There is not the slightest hesitation, not the slightest fear, not the slightest struggle, for every evil cultist who has been brainwashed regards it as the greatest honor to give his life, blood, and soul to the great leader of the sect, and is ready to give everything for their Lord!
A lifeless body fell to the ground, blood flowed everywhere, as if it had life, gathered together, and formed a special pattern on the ground.
Because these evil cultists regularly and quantitatively consumed specific secret herbs, their blood has already become filled with special energy!
The pitch-black sky is gradually penetrated by the scarlet blood!
The concentration of negative energy in the air is starting to climb explosively!
"In the name of death, I call to every sleeping dead!"
"Stand up and drag all the living into the arms of death!"
At the end of the Abyss Ballad, the black-robed man shouted violently, and the evil heart in his hand radiated a three-colored radiance, causing his words to resound throughout the city of Dera!
The red in the sky is getting darker and darker, and it exudes a crazy halo!
The bones of the souls of countless dead people seem to be reinvigorated by his voice!
In their eyes, the dark green flame belonging to the dead was ignited, and then from the cemetery, from the sewers, from the corners, crawled up!
The spatial crack connecting the undead world was opened, and one by one strange undead stepped out!
Suddenly, the kingdom of the dead seemed to descend on the city of Dara, like an epic poem sung by a bard: "The black wings of the blood race cover the sun on the horizon, and the eternal night comes, and the long night of blood comes!"
"In the endless darkness of the night, the dead dance to their heart's content, the mad undead knights begin a head-hunting race, the hungry ghouls greedily chase every food in front of them, and the geist banshees sing the praises of death!"
"By the time the horizon was stretched out by that hint of white, the sea of skeletons had reached the shore!"
"An endless sea of the dead has drowned everything!"
“......”
Of course, the epic depicts the scene of the outbreak of the [Scourge of the Dead], and what happened in the city of Draa at this time is far from reaching such a level!
In a Deathwill stronghold, the Muse leaned against the last remaining clean wall, watching with interest what was happening outside, a little blue flame rising in his hand.
Beside him, the well-dressed Artoria was silently watching everything in the outside world, while the two female guards ignored the blood, bones, and scraps of flesh that were splattered on the floor, walls, and ceiling, looking through everything in the evil sect's stronghold, trying to find some exact information.
"No need to look for it. Artoria's crisp voice suddenly sounded, and in her order, the two female guards stopped their movements, "Everything that happens outside is the best clue." ”
"What do you think, Mr. Muse?"
Shrugging his shoulders, the muse recited the spell to add protective spells to himself and Artoria to protect himself and Artoria from chaos, evil, and negative energy, resisting the negative energy that could be seen everywhere in the air.
A few days earlier, a female squire had arrived at Golden Cornflower Manor with a token – a handkerchief with the Newton family coat of arms – asking to meet the Muse.
Then, in conversation with the Muse, she politely offered a gift to thank the Muse, and then, unsurprisingly, uttered Artoria's request for help.
Of course, the muse "pondered for a moment" and agreed, and Lydia was also feverishly experimenting in the Golden Cornflower Manor, he felt that it was not a problem if he was not in the Golden Cornflower Manor, and Lydia could not sit idly by if there was any danger anyway, especially if she still needed the Newton family to provide her with funds.
Therefore, in the past few days, the muse has basically followed behind Artoria, blessed them with spells, watched them sweep the strongholds of the evil sect one by one, and then deciphered the information found in the search.
Obviously, Artoria is also supported by the Curtis family and the power of the Temple, and the Muses don't think they can easily get that much information!
Although the Muse thinks it's useless, these evil sect strongholds can't be cleaned up at all!
