Kacient, Lord of the Dark Temple. This name can be said to be known to everyone on the entire continent. He has the most mysterious and vast dark power in the world, he is in charge of a vast dark force, he controls the undead, but also space and time.

Every undead creature will bow down to him, and the living creatures will be in awe of him. He looked like a god no matter how he looked at it, but perhaps, he was just the most powerful being of the underworld.

"Hey, Brett, you seem to be having a good day, huh?" Suvani was concentrating on her newly designed recipe when she noticed that Brett, who had always been taciturn, swaggered past her humming a little tune.

"Uh・・・・・・-huh," Brett looked very emotional, his dark complexion flushed slightly, "the shopkeeper agreed that I would be the crossbowman in command of the battle. ”

Seeing his excited look, Suvinie pursed her lips with disdain, "Being a conductor excites you like this, a little bit of a good thing, okay?" Learn from Sander, how mature and steady. ”

"Don't hit me again, Suvinie." Brett smiled bitterly, and I don't know if it was because he was still immersed in the excitement of getting the command position, Brett spoke a little more than usual, "Sander doesn't know how many battles I've commanded, and this is my first time." ”

"Well, it's quite strange to say, the hall master has always personally commanded the crossbowmen, why is it that this time, ・・・・・・ you are going to be promoted?" Suvani leaned in close to Brett and winked mischievously at her golden-green eyes.

Brett's face turned even redder, and when he saw Suvinie approaching, blood surged up on her dark face, and she took several steps back and distanced herself from the petite girl, "I, I'm going back." ”

"Cut, what a little boy who can't help but laugh." Suvinie stuck out her tongue, "But then again, what does the hall master want to do・・・・・・"

"Knock knock-" After a heavy and rapid knock on the door, a tall figure in silver armor appeared at the door, and his voice was hoarse and composed, "Suvinie." ”

"Sander? Rare guests. Suvani had always respected Knight Sander, the oldest of the four, and hurriedly got up to clear the chairs piled up with books, "I'm messy here, Sander, you can sit casually." ”

Xander didn't mean to sit down, the silver armor rubbed against each other as he walked in, and there was a slight sonorous sound, "I'm here to say goodbye to you." The Night Cavalry will be on their way immediately. ”

"So fast?" Su Winnie frowned slightly, she hadn't heard such urgent information from the hall master before.

"Yes." Sander nodded, unconsciously glancing at the family crest on his shoulder, "The departure ceremony, in a quarter of an hour." ”

As soon as Sander finished speaking, he gave Suvinie a knightly salute and turned to leave Suvinie's room.

Suvani didn't react yet, and blinked a little stunned. Why did Sander tell her when she was out of the army? She never had to go on an expedition, and she had received special permission from the hall master not to participate in any consciousness・・・・・・

"What, it doesn't seem like you're in a good mood?" Sure enough, the sun came out of the west, and Suvignie's small pharmacy came with three visitors in succession.

"Frenus, what wind is blowing you?" A smile tugged at the corner of Suvinie's mouth, "My small place has welcomed three distinguished guests in a row, and it is really about to become fluffy from a grass hut." ”

Freinus leaned against the door, casually dusting off a bit of dust from his snow-white robe, and his voice was a little lazy and elegant, "I'm afraid the value of your books here will probably catch up with the temple master's dark temple." ”

"You better forget it, your Bingling Palace is really gorgeous, okay, the hall master will despise you once he goes." Casually responding to his quip, Suvani asked the unsolved question she had just solved, "Why did you leave the army so soon?" I remember that the hall master didn't say that the night cavalry might not be needed in the battle situation? ”

"You're not a battleman, how could the hall master tell you such detailed information?" Freynas smiled slightly, a strange glint in his ice-blue eyes, "Brett was here just now?" ”

"Well, Brett, Sander, and then you." Suvani suppressed the sudden uneasiness in her heart, "You all seem to have made an appointment・・・・・・

Seeing that Suvane looked a little worried, Freynas sighed lightly, "Let's go and see the military ceremony in a while, this time the military ceremony will definitely not disappoint you." ”

"Oh・・・・・・ right! Speaking of which, Sander seems to have specifically mentioned that he wanted me to watch it・・・・・・ you shouldn't have prepared any shows, right?" Suvane looked tentatively at Freynus, only to see the usual inscrutable smile on his face.

"Ah, because this time it's going to be a little different." He crossed his ice-blue eyes, then got up and walked out, "Well, you have to come・・・・・・

Suvani looked at his slender back, a little stunned.

Ten minutes later, she arrived at the viewing platform above the summoning wormhole.

It was her first time here, and she thought it would be the last.

The wormhole is located in the deepest part of the Dark Canyon, with the viewing platform on the left side of the canyon and the command platform of the Commander-in-Chief on the opposite side.

The canyon was full of dense black shadows, and Suvinie didn't recognize all of them, but she could roughly recognize a few military branches. But no matter how you look at it, such a large number is probably the bloodline of most of the Hades Race.

There was not a single murmur in the whole canyon except for the sound of the cavalry's mounts and the rubbing of the armor of the heavy cavalry soldiers, everything was orderly, but it showed an unusual seriousness and strength under the darkness.

On the other side of the canyon, on the black gold platform built on the steep cliff wall, a black shadow that could not be ignored suddenly appeared in the center of the platform.

His robes, as black as the silent night, danced violently in the mountain wind, and the six-pointed star on his shoulder, which represented all the glory of the underworld, was radiating a blue light. He had been floating in mid-air, falling slowly like a god, and the black boots on his feet were in graceful contact with the ground without making any sound. His waist-length straight inky hair fluttered in the wind, frantic and gorgeous, but it seemed to melt into the dark night sky. His bloodless skin, pale as white paper, reflected his blood-like lips, and his obsidian-like eyes, all exuding a mysterious and bevelous beauty.

He is the God of the Void, the Lord of Darkness, the King of Hades, and the founder of the Temple of Darkness, Casent.

His thin lips pursed, and his dark eyes swept indifferently over all the clansmen in the canyon.

It also includes Suvigné, who stands alone on the viewing platform and has a complicated mind.

"As you can see, the space has opened." Cascent's voice was flat, and there was not a hint of emotion to be heard. He lifted one arm, and the bare skin under the sleeve was pale, and even the veins on the back of the hand were clearly visible. As his hand slowly traced a strange trajectory in the air, a three-dimensional and realistic image appeared out of thin air on the command platform.

It was a black hole-like existence, the torn gap in the space was still gushing out of scarlet-colored gas, and Cassente, standing outside the terrifying hole, seemed to leave at any moment.

Between time and space・・・・・・ although he had heard it countless times from others, it was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes.

Suvinie looked at the hole that connected the outer space like a bloody mouth, and the person who was standing outside the cave with flying black hair and flying clothes, and her heart swelled with unspeakable worry and fear.

This is just an image, which can make people tremble with such fear・・・・・・ what kind of enemy is facing this time in the dark temple, no, and even the entire Flame Continent?

The unknown is a source of fear; Ignorance is the beginning of weakness.

Just as she once thought that the ancient Dark Temple had the most advanced civilization after the long river of history, but now this powerful and mysterious unknown can gradually shake her unwavering faith in the dark forces.

"Between time and space, it's just a beautiful name that we give it. And the things that come out of it, it might be more accurate to call them devourers, vampires. The original image shifted with Cascent's gesture to a closer perspective on the red gas.

Only then did Suvani realize that the red gas she had thought was actually some ・・・・・・ creature like red smoke. Although most of them are gathered in a group, many pairs of golden-red eyes can be seen in that group, and with the interweaving of different contours, it is obvious that each of them has its own independent body.

"They have the ability to fly in the air, the individual is gaseous, the temperature is extremely high, and the flame energy contained in each body is dozens of times that of an adult flame dragon." Cusente's gesture changed, and the perspective in the mirror image had shifted to the mainland, some houses with thick smoke and waves of fire. The structure of this kind of house should belong to the human village.

Suvani had been to a human village, where the rows of wooden houses were neat and beautiful, and children loved to play in front of the door and in the courtyard, although she did not agree with the human habit of keeping animals in captivity and using them for food, but she had to admit that the scene looked very pleasant and beautiful.

Now, however, those once beautiful and peaceful villages are in ruins, wreckage. As scarlet shadows drifted through the air like glimpses, flames rose into the sky, and although there was no sound in the image, Suvinie could already imagine the screams from humans, the sounds that could make people go crazy.

"The human race is huge, but each individual is very weak. These blood shadows invade, and the human race is their first target. Cascent's gaze swept over everyone in the canyon again before he spoke slowly, "If we don't help, the human race will be completely wiped out in about three days." ”

There was still silence in the canyon, and all the people looked up, listening intently to Cascente's voice, waiting for any of his commands.

"Light is the faith of all men, but darkness is rejected by light. Whether it's escape or denial, darkness is eternal. When all light is helpless, darkness can deliver. The sanctity and inviolability of darkness never comes from power and strength, but from patience and tolerance. Cascent spoke about the meaning of darkness, and finally there was a look in his eyes that was different from the silence of death, "Each of us has inherited the blood of the god of darkness, and it is also our mission and responsibility to tolerate all the evils in this world and maintain the dignity of darkness." ”

"The people of the underworld have never been afraid of death. For eternal darkness is always with us. ”

From afar, Suvinie looked up at the man on the podium, standing between heaven and earth, representing the darkness and all the creatures of the netherworld, vowing to live and die with heaven and earth.

"Be with the darkness!" The uniform roar shook the entire dark canyon and shook Suvinie's heart.

Cassente's expressionless face finally put on a faint smile.

"Then, the commanders can start lining up."

As soon as Cascent's words fell, several black rays of light fell from the sky, surrounding several people in the army, making them slowly float in the air.

One was dark-skinned, dressed in armor, and holding a thick riding spear in his hand; One was of medium stature, dressed in light armor, and carrying a brownish-green longbow on his back; A slender figure, a silver-white robe dazzling in the darkness, and his ice-blue eyes flashed.

"Thunder Lancer Tander, hereby make an oath: to advance and retreat with the dark cavalry, kill all enemies who stand in your way, and protect every comrade standing behind you, the glory of the dark gods."

"Bret, the god of the Underworld, hereby make an oath: to advance and retreat with the Dark Crossbowmen, to snipe any enemy that comes into sight, and to eliminate hidden dangers for every teammate who fights in front of the team, and to glorify the Dark God."

"The Frost Sacrifice Freynas, hereby make an oath: to advance and retreat with the Dark Sacrifice Battalion, to limit the actions of all enemies within the range, to provide the most timely and effective protection and healing for all teammates, and to the glory of the Dark God."

Just as all the creatures of the underworld began to chant "Glory to the Dark God", Cascent made a "silent" gesture, and the canyon immediately fell silent.

"In the name of the Lord of the Dark Temple, I bestow upon Suvinie, the God of Purgatory Medicine, the highest glory in the Dark Altar." Cassente's sudden words made Suvinie tremble slightly, and then a black mist swirled and she also floated in mid-air.

Sensing the gaze from the other three partners, Suvinie leaned over and saluted slightly, "Suvinie receives the supreme glory of the altar and the glory of the dark god. ”

Receiving the glory of the altar means that she has the right to command any underworld creature or even an army, and she is second only to the existence of the temple master.

However, the hall master would give her such an important position・・・・・・

"Very well, now we can go." Cassente nodded to the other three, and seeing that they were already regrouping their respective armies, he turned his gaze to Suvinie, "Everything in the underworld is in your hands, don't let the dark god down." ”

"・・・・・・ yes."

Suvani looked up at Cascent's departing back, her eyes suddenly blurred.

Perhaps, this is the last time to look at the back of the hall master like this.
