53 Chapter 53

What surprised him even more was that as he got closer and closer to the Old Castle of the Roses, he felt an extremely familiar but long-lost ...... Comfort.

It's like being poured into a big breath of fresh air, or jumping into a pool of warm spring water in the snow, or a cool breeze in the bitter cold and heat.

In short, it made his whole body unconsciously relaxed.

Soon, however, he came to his senses with a sense of excitement. What makes people feel relaxed and happy in such a dangerous environment is not necessarily a good thing. And what makes him feel pleasant is not necessarily a good thing for ordinary people.

Especially, the feeling reminded him of something, something he had destroyed with his own hands......

As soon as the thought came to his mind, his grip on the reins tightened: "Osvid! Back! ”

He grabbed the reins and tugged back sharply, only to find that the huge beast below him had not stopped moving forward.

"Auswid?!" Kevin screamed, his face turned grim, and he immediately felt that something was wrong, and everything seemed to be more serious than he expected.

However, Osveld did not respond to him immediately, and continued to fly forward without saying a word, without the slightest intention of slowing down.

And at this time, he heard the rumbling hooves of horses behind him, and the sound of huge wings flapping, and he could even feel the wind whipped by the vultures of the advance army, blowing behind him one after another.

What's going on?!

He looked back in amazement, and found that the advance army, which had been far behind him and Osvid, had somehow suddenly caught up, and was getting closer and closer, even to the point of outtaking them.

"Wood! Back off! Kevin shouted at the people below him on the wolf's back, only to find that Wood and Nick, like Osveld, seemed to be deaf and indifferent to his words.

"Deaf?! Back off! Kevin grabbed the reins in an attempt to slow down the wolf, and on the other hand, leaned down and rushed to the ground as he swooped down into the army.

Because the wind was too strong and too strong, he almost had to roar to get his voice through, but the two shouts still had no effect.

Are you all crazy?! Kevin was stunned on the wolf's back for a moment, but his eyes were once again drawn to the dense crowd near the Old Castle of Roses.

Because as the distance got closer, he was stunned to find that among those crowds, there was actually a military flag of the Golden Lion Country Bronze Army.

He was so familiar with the flag that he only glanced at it vaguely, and before he could even make out the lines on it, he easily recognized it.

The Bronze Army that remained in the base camp of the Golden Lion Kingdom was later mixed by Ausvid and several other armies. At this time, there were only two groups of people who were still holding the flag of the single army.

One group jumped into the depths of the Great Rift Valley with Kevin, and was responsible for picking up the citizens of each city in another secret passage. On the other hand, the garrison that had been ordered to guard the border between the desert and the Golden Lion Country was the army led by Mio.

Whether from the point of view of the route or from the point of view of distance, it is only the latter that is gathered at the foot of the old castle of roses at this time.

But Mio is not a person who acts indiscriminately without following orders, why would he abandon his garrison on the border and come here with a large army?!

What made him even more alarmed was that there were obviously more than one Mio at the feet of the old castle of roses. Judging from the large number of standard armor with different color blocks, the dense crowd included a group of stragglers from the large and small city-states of Leiyin City and Peida City, which looked like the remnants of the sand ghost attack.

If he wasn't dazzled, there would even be the Frontier Guards of the Northern Emerald Nation among them...... and some people who don't come from the military.

Kevin squinted, glanced into the distance through the vast wind and smoke, and swept around from front to back......

There was a thump in his heart—for he could see that there were more small black dots like ants moving towards this place little by little.

As if he had fallen into an evil spirit, and as if he was on a pilgrimage for thousands of miles, he gathered here blankly despite the obstacles.

It was as if the ruins of the Old Castle of Roses, which had been buried in the wind and sand for hundreds of years, had suddenly become a sacred place for the entire continent.

Looking at such a scene, Kevin was stunned for a moment, and his face suddenly calmed down. His drooping eyelashes covered his eyes, making it difficult to see the emotions in his eyes......

Although he was still some distance from the Old Castle of the Roses, and although there were still two swirling wind sockets blocking half of his vision, he had almost guessed what kind of things existed in the Old Castle of the Roses.

Osvid's gaze was stunned, but his wings tilted slightly as if guided by something, and in a hovering posture, he gradually bypassed the two wind sockets that blocked most of the ruins. Only the ruins of the old castle of roses are finally visible to Kevin.

And what is hidden in it is finally fully revealed-

It was a giant bird more than a man tall, with long tail feathers, perched on top of a high broken wall. It was covered in a layer of light as bright as the sun, so much so that it was impossible to see what it really looked like, except for its slender silhouette and dark eyes.

Its wings carried a burning red flame, and the scorching fire was full of strong vitality, as if it would never be extinguished.

The more people gathered, the more dazzling the silhouette of the giant bird became.

It wasn't until Kevin appeared in the sky above the Old Rose Castle that the motionless giant bird suddenly came to life, and raised its head and roared in his direction.

At the same time, the light around it suddenly poured out, dazzling like another sun in the world.

The wolf's body under Kevin's body suddenly sank, as if he couldn't withstand the light flowing from the giant bird, and at that moment, he fainted as if he had been hit hard.

Fortunately, the huge wings helped him cushion the speed of the fall a little, and the moment he landed, Kevin suddenly rolled over and jumped down, protecting its head.

The wolf fell heavily to the ground, fainted and never said again. And the advance army that came behind in a mighty way, under the impact of the light, even the men and horses fell to the ground with a bang, smashing up the sky full of wind and sand.

The people on the periphery are just fainting, and the people inside are ......

Kevin closed his eyes for a moment, his fingers clenched into fists at his side. He strode towards the broken walls of the old fort, and the crowds in front of him did not cause any hindrance, and dispersed with a slight flick.

Because they have long since lost consciousness.

Tens of thousands of people gathered here, looking in from the periphery, in addition to the dense human heads, or dense human heads, this is a very amazing scene, even creepy.

And those who lost consciousness, the moment they were discharged by Kevin, poured to both sides like a split tide. They fell to the ground in a very strange position, as if they were driven to kneel by some force.

This gesture made Kevin's brow furrow even tighter, and his face had never been so awe-inspiring.

And the further he went, the more ugly his face became, as cold as if he had just been dug out of an ice cellar, for the sand under his feet grew more and more wet.

It was not water, but blood......

Kevin didn't know what had happened to the people gathered here before he came here, they were far less fortunate than the people who came after, except for some who were unconscious, and many more had lost their heartbeats and breathing.

At the moment of their death, they even maintained an upright and upright posture. And because there are too many people, they gather in clusters with each other, and few people fall down.

It wasn't until the moment Kevin pushed them away that he kept a look of surprise on his face, and leaned over in a reverent kneeling position.

At first, Kevin subconsciously supported it with his hand, but then he closed his eyes and simply stopped reaching out. Because he couldn't help him at all, and even if he did, those people wouldn't have a heartbeat.

The blood was gushing out of their bodies, and when they looked at it, they didn't even know where the wounds were.

With this in his hands, with his feet dripping with blood, he walked step by step to the ruined tower of the Old Castle of Roses, and was close to the giant bird that had been shrouded in light and flames.

His skin, which had been pale since he had reawakened from the depths of the forests of Andorha, had finally begun to turn a little bloody.

It was as if a person who had been ill for a long time had finally begun to slowly recover his health, but his expression was not pleasant, even silent and heavy.

This huge holy relic is the immortal bird, the ontological godhead of the god of light, the one that was crushed by his own hands in that dusk thousands of years ago.

He never thought that he would be able to meet his godhead again, after all, no one could reunite the godhead that had been destroyed.

There will be no one who will go to great lengths to do this, except for Merlot. And his purpose in doing this is also obvious-

Let Kevin regain the Godhead, and then kill it with his own hands, and inherit the Godhead forever.

Kevin can choose not to accept it, but the purest Godhead, wrapped in no body, will continue to attract people to the pilgrimage, and then they will be like those gathered here at this time, because they cannot bear the light of the Godhead, or die, or fall asleep.

He could also choose to destroy his godhead with his own hands again, as he did thousands of years ago. Then he and Melo will most likely be stuck in a cycle again, never ending.

Or maybe he has a third option......

Kevin stared into the eyes of the undead bird, as if he was thinking about something through it, and after a moment, a mocking sneer suddenly appeared from the corner of his mouth.

He stretched out a hand to the arrogant giant bird and said in a deep voice, "I'm back." ”

The undead bird screamed, swept its wings, and fell from the broken wall of the tower, melting into Kevin's body.

The dazzling light that bathed its body shrouded Kevin's body, and the golden flames wrapped in the two wings were held by Kevin in his hand, and in an instant, they turned into a golden longbow.

The man standing in the light was tall and slender, and the blood stained on his feet added a sense of solemnity to the holiness.

"Like the gift I gave you? Mortals are born to bow down at the feet of the gods, and that is my last respect. Merlot's slow, light voice followed the wind on all sides, but it didn't come from nowhere.

The man in the holy light smiled coldly, drew a golden arrow out of thin air and put it on the bow, and shot straight out in a certain direction without looking.

The black wind in the air suddenly turned into a long snake, and was instantly pierced by the arrows that came at it, and it scattered in all directions. Merlot's voice came to an abrupt halt.

The archer carried the bow and tilted his head slightly, and his dark and silent gaze swept over the tens of thousands of people.

This is exactly the same scene as Mowgli, the old priest of the Priesthood, sees, except that he does not see the past, but the future......

Fae, the god of light, is back.
