24. Sudden change

The demonic beasts in the forest keenly sensed the aura of danger and made a detour.

Closer and closer to the dark abyss, the oppressive and dark spiritual fluctuations are always invading people's hearts, as long as they seize the slightest opportunity, they will devour people's hearts, making people become monsters who have lost their minds and only know how to slaughter, and finally transform into undead.

The Paladins are the most powerful knights of the Temple of Light, with the Son and the Holy Maiden as the center, forming a powerful enchantment of light, isolating the darkness that can devour people's hearts.

Asher smiled and looked at Christina on the side and asked, "What is it that makes my holy lady show such sorrow?" ”

Christina opened her eyes and said, "Shadows cover the light, and blood will stain the idol red." ”

"The light reigns over the gods, and the shadows will prostrate themselves at the feet of the light and weep, and the blood of the enemy will stain the land beneath their feet."

Christina looked at Asher and asked, "Your prophecy?" ”

Hearing this, Asher laughed, "In this way, can my Christina smile again?" ”

Christina didn't speak, looking up at the place of the seal that was getting closer and closer, and a trace of unease welled up in her heart.

When the last glimmer of light is swallowed up by the falling night, Kyle and the others appear in Christina's line of sight.

The moment she saw Kyle, Christina's clear eyes rippled with a few ripples, which dissipated after a moment.

Unfortunately, this scene still fell into Asher's eyes, and he smiled and looked at Christina's line of sight, and saw the man who made Christina haunt her dreams.

What a disobedience, my Christina, can't even cover it up? Asher's blue eyes shone with a gentle watery light, and his face smiled reservedly and nobly.

From the very beginning, Huo Sui's attention fell on Ya Xiu, and Huo Sui did not miss the change in his momentary feelings. The desire for exclusivity that can't be concealed in the depths of the eyes, faintly, and a hint of madness?

Huo Sui pursed his lips and clenched the sword in his hand.

For a moment, Huo Sui seemed to see Liang Xiuyuan again.

Between breaths, Huo Sui restrained the murderous aura on his body. No, Asher was only the object of her mission this time, and it had nothing to do with his past and future lives. Huo Sui calmed down the fluctuations in his heart and decided to carry out the task according to the original plan.

To put it bluntly, Ashur is the whetstone on Kyle's upgrade path, a mini-boss born to achieve Kyle. As for the emotional entanglement between Asher and Christina and Kyle, it is only slightly colored on this basis.

However, Asher doesn't love Christina, it's just that he has a wrong perception and possessiveness, and to put it bluntly, he has a sick brain. In his world, the saint Christina was originally his, and he personally chose an ugly girl who was slightly chubby and stammered from a large number of children to be his companion. No one knew that Ashur hated and hated beautiful women, and with a single glance, Ashur could think of the woman who had abandoned him and betrayed him in the first place.

There were many beautiful priests in the Temple of Light, but Christina was the only one who could stand beside Ashur. A priestess who had a crush on Ashur pretended to crash into Ashur's arms unintentionally, and after being gently lifted up by Ashur, she was abducted by the black magician not long after, and her life and death are unknown.

Later, Asher single-handedly supported Christina and made her a noble saint of the Temple of Light. So, Christina is his, from the very beginning, both physically and mentally.

However, Christina's heart is clearly tied to Kyle's body, or rather, to the former Kyle.

And Asher, how could he tolerate Christina's betrayal?

To put it bluntly, Asher's feelings for Christina are like a drowning child clinging to that piece of driftwood, refusing to let go, even if it sinks to the bottom of the water, and does not want anyone to come near him. From beginning to end, what Asher clinged to was nothing more than the sustenance of nothingness.

Huo Sui's hand holding the hilt of the sword loosened slightly, looked at Ya Xiu not far away, thought of his ending, and sighed slightly in his heart. Ya Xiu and Liang Xiu are far from the same person, at this moment, the haze that has been bothering Huo Sui has dissipated, and his heart is extremely clear.

At this time, the priest walked straight to Ashur, and then bowed down in front of Ashur: "My lord, Noyce is fortunate to be alive and well. After speaking, he held the scroll in his hand with both hands.

Asher reached out and took the scroll and smiled slightly, "You're doing a great job, Noyce. Asher held the scroll, but did not open it to look at it, his eyes looked tenderly at the man behind Noyce, and finally his gaze fell on the man who had made Christina break his oath.

"Kyle Malcolmson, I remember you. Students at Lossster College. Asher smiled and said, his azure eyes seemed to contain heaven and earth, "You are taking your companions to the land of death, towards the abyss of death." ”

Looking at Ashur, who was sitting on a horse and looking down at him, Kyle's handsome face was slightly distorted, but he quickly returned to normal, and he stepped forward to greet Asher and Christina among the paladins.

"Yes, Your Son. I am a student at Lossster College. With a princely smile on his face, Kyle looked at Asher and said, "There's a treasure here." Precious white gems are coveted by vicious monsters, and the sparkling starlight is mesmerizing in the abyss. ”

"Of course." Asher didn't miss the funny expression on his face, and the corners of his mouth curled with pleasure: "Wherever the precious white gem goes, it will return to its true owner." The gems are stolen by thieves, the white is stained, and what awaits the thieves will be a sword and an endless hunt. ”

Christina on the side frowned slightly: "Asher, we are under the orders of His Holiness the Pope. ”

Asher smiled and drew his holy sword, saying, "When the white is stained with shadows, it will no longer be able to serve before the God of Light, lest it defile the temple." ”

With Ashur's eyes like maggots, Kyle's whole body seemed to be falling into an ice cellar. The next moment, the sword was unsheathed, and he was heard casually saying, "Kyle Malcolmson, I allow you to walk with us, and the God of Light will take care of us." ”

Kyle lowered his head and hid the cruelty in his eyes: "Then thank you, Lord Son." ”

At this moment, the head-to-head confrontation between the protagonist and the boss officially begins.

Huo Sui, who was standing fifty meters away from them, took this scene into his eyes.

The blood moon in the sky was scarlet, staining the earth with a layer of blood.

Countless shadows floated in the air, surrounding the barrier.

Except for Huo Sui and the elves, everyone entered the Light Enchantment and headed towards the dark abyss.

Those dark shadows surrounded Huo Sui, and there was a picture in front of her eyes that shouldn't have appeared, and there was a voice in her ear that was bewitching her.

- You will die at his hands, again.

- You will fail, and like those three people, their souls will be crushed in this plane.

- You will never be able to go back.

Huo Sui ignored the voice, his steps did not pause for a minute, and the distance between him and Yashu never narrowed.

Suddenly realizing that the elf beside him seemed to be a little strange, Huo Sui looked over and saw that his dark green eyes had been dyed with a faint layer of scarlet, and said, "Armanod, you may die here." ”

"Elder Isaac's entrustment, although I am still glorious in death." Armanod met Huo Sui's eyes and did not flinch, "I only wish that Lord Hollandil could return to his homeland with the sword of Lodis, and I will have no regrets." ”

Huo Sui stepped forward and picked up the somewhat confused elf horizontally, and stepped forward to stop a paladin.

"Take care of me," Huo paused in his words, "friend." ”

The very good paladin, who was educated by the Temple of Light, was merciful, took the elf in Huo Sui's hand, bowed slightly to Huo Sui, and then followed the companion in front.

The relationship between the elves living in the Moon Forest and humans is not bad, and even the vice president of the Lloster Academy, Isaac, is also an elder of the elf clan, which brings the relationship between the elves and the human race closer.

Then, Armanod will be fine for the time being.

For Huo Sui's actions, he didn't attract anyone's attention, and everyone's thoughts were on the destination ahead.

The Dark Abyss is located on the edge of the forest, adjacent to the Sea of the Dead, where it was once a glorious temple dedicated to the god of darkness. However, the temple collapsed two thousand years ago when it was destroyed by the people in the Temple of Light, sinking into the depths of the Sea of the Dead. The temple has always been isolated from the outside world, and every fifty years, someone from the Temple of Light comes here to strengthen the seal and prevent the darkness from spreading across the continent.

This has become an open fact on this continent.

There have also been countless treasure hunters who have come here, most of them returning empty-handed or buried in the mouths of monsters.

But there are still people who are not reconciled.

Kyle, for example.

The blood moon in the sky grew darker, and the entire earth was covered with a dull red light. The stone pillars are mottled with cracks, and there is no grass on the scarlet mountain rocks.

Kyle and Lilith looked at each other and headed in the other direction, accompanied by the orc Jerome.

Christina tilted her head slightly, watching them leave. Kyle suddenly felt something, turned around and crashed into Christina's watery eyes, and at that moment, Kyle's heartbeat accelerated inexplicably, and she was watching herself. When Kyle learns of this fact, the unhappiness in his heart seems to dissipate, and his heart is even more determined in his plan.

Ashur looked at this qiΔ“ as if he was watching a good show, his eyes were gloomy and gloomy, but he was smiling on his face.

――It seems that you still can't learn well.

Huo Sui saw Kyle leave and hesitated, but he still didn't follow.

Compared to the Staff of Death, Asher was obviously more important.

Moreover, what will happen next, Huo Sui can't follow.

The closer they got to the Sea of the Undead, the greater the resistance to move forward, and the speed of everyone suddenly slowed down a lot.

The Sea of the Dead is not a sea, but a black abyssal ravine, shrouded in an abyssal gully with a magic array of light above it, where countless undead souls keep repeating the cycle of life and death.

A hundred paladins scattered in all directions, forming a twelve-pointed star array.

Among them, the paladin did not put down the elf in his arms, and the slender and delicate-looking elf lay quietly in the paladin's arms, and his spirit looked a little sluggish. Obviously, the elf's mind is almost consumed by the darkness in the dark abyss, and if he loses the protection of the Light Enchantment, he will become a monster who only knows how to slaughter, and finally transform into an undead and become a part of the sea of the undead.

Asher and Christina stood at the edge of the Sea of the Dead, and a dazzling magic array of light was formed under their feet, echoing with the magic array above the Sea of the Dead, and countless light elements swarmed towards it, forming a huge ball of light.

Asher and Christina stood at opposite ends of the magic circle, chanting the eternal sealing spell-

In the endless loneliness of indifference

The lord of the creation zΓ o who stays

In the eternal sorrow of emptiness

The spirit of doom who travels

Control the supreme existence of the real and the unreal

Listen to my pleas

Interlacing light and darkness

Draw the final line

Let seal the abyss

Reproduce!

When the last words of Asher and Christina fell, the sea of the dead began to produce violent turmoil, and the magic array gradually disintegrated and collapsed, and the paladins were all pushed out of the hundred meters by the magic array.

Asher and Christina turned pale and half-knelt on the ground, their staffs shattered and turned into dust and vanished.

It was too late, Huo Sui pursed his lips and looked at Ya Xiu, and a red light seemed to flash in his eyes.

- It was a precursor to being consumed by darkness.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred!

Above the Sea of the Undead, a seven-foot-tall black staff appeared, and the ancient dark aura instantly filled the entire land of death, and all the demonic beasts were prostrate on the ground, trembling.

What follows is a majestic rectangular building, standing on 3 floors of black steps, jade steps and huge pillars, painted eaves and reliefs, which are magnificent.

It was the temple of the god of darkness that had disappeared for two thousand years.

The huge and terrifying aura swept over the sky, forming a huge black vortex over the temple.

- That's the passage to the demons.
