Black flames emerged from the body of Rhaegar in the form of a geist, and after the events of the last time, he had gradually become familiar with the Divine Fire of Judgment that he now had, especially if he was restored to his original appearance, as long as he was careful enough, the result of the last time would never appear again.

"It's time to go home," Rhaegar said faintly, looking at the flickering ball of light in the gray, "You've been out long enough. ”

The light flickered violently, changing shape rapidly, and a moment later, a tall, thin, middle-aged man with a gloomy face appeared in front of Rhaegar in front of him.

"I must say," Rhaegar looked at the fragment of his soul, "you have bad taste, you have chosen the image of the water god who was once defeated by us, kneeling before us like the humblest goblin and begging for mercy. He smiled slightly, and the fire in his body became more and more intense, "It seems that you are not ready to return to me like this, but you should know that in front of me, you don't have any chance." ”

Hector looked at his own body with hatred, both from his own point of view and from the broken soul of the god of water who had to hide in the idol after being defeated by the god of judgment, Rhaegar was the object of their greatest fear and hatred.

"Don't you think!" Hector screamed in human form, "I belong only to myself, you don't want to make me a part of you again!"

He howled frantically to dispatch the fear in his heart, and at the same time, under his manipulation, countless surging energy streams struck Rhaegar like blades, and in an instant, the gray space surged into unprecedented turmoil.

Even Rhaegar didn't dare to despise the power from one dimension, and with a thought, several sinuous fire dragons flew out from the black flames around him, circling towards the torrent of energy coming from all directions. Under the Divine Fire of Judgment, which could incinerate everything, these energy streams were reduced to the most basic particles, and when all the fire dragons disappeared due to the depletion of energy, the space returned to calm.

"Maybe we can make a deal," Rhaegar didn't take advantage of the victory, facing Hector who had almost lost his mind, he said calmly, "I don't have to destroy you to get my own things, we can have other ways to implement it." ”

His words didn't quell Hector from his fearful rage, and the powerful creature that had once dominated almost the entire Hornfest Mountains had only one thought on his mind: to destroy his opponents. He waved his hands quickly, making gestures one after another, and under his drive, the space that belonged to him turned into a huge vortex, and all the energy was swirling towards the center at this moment, and their ultimate target was none other than Rhaegar who was in the center of the vortex.

Witnessing all this, Rhaegar knew that his plan to delay time by words was no longer possible, and the black flames on his body became blazing, turning any energy that dared to approach into nothingness, and under the tremendous pressure, the figure of the geist was like a reef in the angry sea, no matter how fierce the waves were, it was always difficult to shake the slightest.

If Hector is not injured, the only option for the geist is to flee in the face of the huge power of his opponent - although this space is not a separate world in the true sense, but just a small area separated from the mortal world and located at a certain point in the real world, but here, Hector is the real master, he can call on every bit of energy at will, unless Rhaegar has more power than the entire space combined, he will never be able to confront the opponent here.

However, at this moment, the situation has changed radically: on the one hand, the severe damage has greatly weakened Hectern's strength, and on the other hand, in order to prevent the stone statue from collapsing, Hector has focused most of his energy on how to protect his own existence, and in the face of Rhaeggar, he can use less than a tenth of the original strength. In this space, the geist may not be able to defeat the opponent in this state, but under the opponent's attack, he can definitely easily hold on until his preset foreshadowing takes effect.

In the world of the soul, time often passes much faster than the outside world, and when the two sides are fighting endlessly in the space that belongs to Hect, only a few minutes have passed in the outside world, and it is these few minutes that have become the watershed between victory and defeat for both sides.

A smile appeared on Rhaegar's face as several familiar soul fluctuations crossed the boundaries of space and were sensed by Rhaegar, and he knew that he had won the battle.

"It's a god!" The battle axe's loud voice echoed through the silent valley, and the dwarf excitedly looked at the cracked stone statue in front of him, and shouted excitedly, "Let's move it and give it to Hano." ”

This proposal was approved by all the team members except Willy, and almost at the same moment, the stout dwarves, the tall sub-giants, and even the emaciated elves all rushed to the statue of Vince and reached for the stone statue that had been standing in place for an unknown number of years.

Confusion may be able to control a sapient being's subconscious mind, but it will never allow the subject to be controlled against his instincts - for example, Hano can use Confusion to get the team to destroy the Lizard King and find the Statue of Vince for himself, but it is impossible for the team to voluntarily give up their lives, because cherishing life is almost every creature's greatest instinct. By the same token, when Heim was dying from sharing his life with Rhaeggar, the concern for the elves, which had been etched in the souls of his companions, caused Nack and Tomahawk to quickly abandon their attachment to the mission that Hano had given them.

Because of this, in the final mission that Hano passed on to the team, they were only asked to find the statue of Vince - in Hano's opinion, a sixth-order mage and a group of warriors, when they took over Hector, their fate was almost decided, and it was impossible for them to escape from Hector's grasp- However, there is no clear way to find the next action, and both Nack, Heim, and Tomahawk take this mission for granted as finding the idol and bringing it back to Hano, and it is because of this misunderstanding that Rhaegar receives unexpected assistance from his opponent at the most critical time of the battle.

In the previous energy collision, all the defenses around the idol were destroyed by the terrifying flow of energy, and in front of the team, the idol that had once made Hornfest's countless powerful beings worship became like an unguarded virgin, and three pairs of large hands touched the already fragile idol without hindrance.

What happened next was beyond the expectations of everyone in the team, as if the building blocks had collapsed due to loss of balance, and at the same time as being touched by the three of them, the idol that was already on the verge of collapse was finally pressed to the last straw, and in a roar, the three-meter-high idol was torn apart in a matter of seconds, turning into scattered stones on the ground.

Hysterical screams came out of Hect's mouth as the statue shattered, and he lost the shield of the stone statue, and he clearly felt that the energy that composed himself was rapidly spreading in all directions, which made him extremely panicked, and at this moment, he completely forgot about the terrible enemy he was facing, desperately mobilizing all the energy at his disposal to stabilize himself, trying to avoid the fate of being disintegrated.

Rhaegar looked coldly at Hector, who was completely occupied by fear, several fire snakes quietly flew out of the flames behind him, entangled each other like lightning, and the next moment, the judgment divine fire that burned everything began to quickly penetrate into Hector's soul.

As one of the most terrifying weapons in this universe, the Divine Fire of Judgment can destroy almost everything in this universe, including those who do not control it, but in the hands of those who can control it, these infinitely powerful flames are even easier to manipulate than their own fingers. At Rhaeggar's command, all parts of Hect's body that did not belong to the soul of the God of Judgment were mercilessly burned, and half a second later, the former overlord of the Hornfest Mountains completely vanished, leaving only a gleaming fragment floating in the air.

The fragments of the soul that had been separated regained their instincts, and while sensing the existence of the main body, they flew into the body of the geist like a homing swallow.

City Nolen. Martial law imposed by the Lizard King was soon lifted, and the city regained its former prosperity, with crowded streets, hawkers, and pedestrians coming and going. In this city of opportunity and wealth, everyone is striving to achieve their dreams, and if you only look at it on the surface, everything here is full of a vigorous and uplifting energy.

- Except for Hano.

Despite the fact that it was late autumn and the city of Norren in the south still maintained a warm climate, and many of the people on the streets were wearing only single clothes, the lord of the largest city in the south was now forced to recline on animal skin cushions, wrapped in a thick blanket, and in front of him, the roaring stove emitted a drowsy heat wave - even so, he could not dispel the chill in his body.

The team would have been amazed to see what had happened to Hano at this time: in just a few days, the knight, who had the physique of no less than the strongest young man, had aged at least fifty years, his face was now full of wrinkles, his elastic skin had become loose and shriveled, and his snow-white but luxuriant, shiny hair had almost completely fallen out. The only difference between Hano and a dried corpse today is that he can still breathe weakly.

However, the physical exhaustion could not contain the hatred in Hano's heart, and it was this anger that kept his life on the verge of death until now, and he wanted revenge, he wanted to make the explorers who made him what he was now, he wanted to make them taste the most painful punishment in the world.
