Act Fifty-Six
Ace Ryan, the name is somewhat familiar to Rosen, but more often than not. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
But for Karene and Langton, it's a character that only appears in legends.
The genius of heaven, the child of destiny, the king of the sin domain, this person has countless illustrious titles, but no matter what kind of evaluation, he will not bypass a word.
Legendary Lich.
That's right, Acerian is one of the few legendary ranks in the Ashen line, and he is the first lich in recorded history to successfully advance to the legendary level, and more than half of the lich spells that survive today are named after him, and in his heyday, the immortal city of Modraeni dominated by Acerian can be regarded as the most prosperous city in the ash line.
However, all this came to an abrupt end in the second jihad a thousand years ago.
In that battle between the civilization of order and the ashes, Acerian, as the leader, once took the initiative, but in the end, he was besieged by several saints and died under the sword of the sword of the blue, Saint Greysius.
As soon as Acerian died, the immortal city of Modleini, supported by his magic, also disintegrated, and the strength of the ash side was greatly damaged, and it was defeated in a short period of time, so that it withdrew from the main plane.
But despite this, Acerian's reputation here in Ashes is not at the level of worship, and one of the big reasons is that the war back then, partly because of him.
According to the records on the Ash Side, at the end of the war between Order and Chaos, two voices appeared on the Order side.
One is a hard-liner faction with a few sages as the core who wants to eliminate chaos from the source, and the other is a faction presided over by Ace Ryan who wants to thoroughly study the power of chaos and make use of it.
The result was naturally a war, and the ashes were expelled from this world, but the forces of chaos were not completely eliminated, and the civilization continues to this day, and the crisis lurks in the shadows.
However, Karen found that although the person in front of him called himself Acerian, judging from his breath, he was closer to Noah's level.
"Remnants of consciousness?"
Since it was a sure thing that Acerian was killed, and Karen didn't think that he could be resurrected by relying on things like life-protecting soul boxes or horcruxes, what appeared in front of them at this time was not so much Noah possessed by Acerian, but a wisp of Acerian's remnant soul that appeared on Noah's body.
His strength will naturally not be the same as before, and it is conservatively estimated that it is at the same level as Noah before his death, but the wealth of knowledge should not be underestimated, Karen looked at Rosen and conveyed this message to him in a brief way.
"Legendary Tier......"
Lawson doesn't have much concept of the legendary level, but according to the aura he feels, the three monsters in front of him plus Ace Ryan are basically close to the level of silver or above, which is quite tricky for him.
He relied on the end of blood to barely reach the destructive power of silver, and he knew nothing about the use of laws, and if he really wanted to fight, Rosen thought that he would be defeated within ten breaths.
The four of them did not move, as if they were waiting for Lawson to make a move.
"What are you protecting?"
But Rosen didn't rush to make a move, since the other party said so much, he could also test it, after all, their goal was just to get out of here, as for the treasures in the Frank Fortress, he used to be a little interested, but now he didn't dare to be so blatant with a few silver.
"Chasing the ashes of nothingness...... What I am guarding is the vessel of the soul. ”
Acerian spoke, his hoarse voice rather steady.
"Hehe, this container has been in place for thousands of years, and now, it is finally overflowing. ”
He was too vague to get useful information, but Rosen captured something interesting in it.
"Millennium...... Does that mean you've been waiting for this moment since a thousand years ago?"
The War for the Crown began when the Ashes were banished from their original world and fled to Isrul, at that point in time, Acerian should have just died, and it was hard to imagine that there was nothing to do with it.
"This is the holy relic of the goddess, the existence of the dark ring, which stores the soul in order to reshape the law. ”
Ace Ryan said, revealing the answer.
"Reinventing the Law ......"
At this time, Langton also guessed the meaning of the other party's words.
I'm afraid that this is the back hand left by Ace Ryan, who poured a wisp of remnant soul into the holy relic of the goddess to preserve it as a horcrux, and the holy relic as the existence of the transcendent law will not be destroyed so easily, so it can be passed down to this day.
And the entire Franco-Fortress and the Crown War are just the arrangement of Acerian.
Summoning the powerful souls of history through the power of the relics, using the Fortress of Farran as a prize and becoming a god as a bait, leading the ashes to fight each other, and gradually filling the holy relics with their souls.
The Relic, called the Ring of Darkness, is a tool that can be used to reforge the flesh from thousands of souls.
In other words, the Ashes have been deceived by Ace Ryan for thousands of years, and the souls of those strong have also been distorted into Acerian's food.
Noah probably found out about this, so he made a deal with Acerian in advance by some means, and also gave him knowledge to quickly promote silver, but he was defeated in the final battle and was directly devoured by the hungry Acerian.
Now, Ace Ryan is about to be resurrected with the Dark Ring, a Legendary Lich who has a profound impact on the balance of power in the entire world.
However, Rosen found something wrong.
Aside from his somewhat shady methods, Acerian is in a rather strange state right now.
The wolf knight's greatsword was trembling slightly, and Rosen felt a strong chaotic aura rushing towards him, which was definitely not what an order force should have.
Coupled with the purple mist around Acerian, it was clear that it was the work of the forces of Chaos.
Rosen has reason to believe that perhaps from the beginning, or perhaps on the way, the holy relics in this fortress have been eroded by Chaos, or it may be Acerian's own experiments, in short, Acerian is now, at least, not a person on the side of order.
If the forces of Chaos have a Legendary rank, it is quite tricky.
Rosen thought about the next countermeasures, and now Ace Ryan doesn't seem to have too many firsts for them, of course, it may be because Rosen and the others are too small, so they are not worth mentioning.
But at this time, Ace Ryan spoke again.
"The time has come for a few more souls to activate the Circle of Darkness. ”
He looked at Lawson and the others, and there was no emotion reflected in his eyes.
