Chapter Ninety-Four: Breakthrough (Part II)

A black wing covers the sun, and thunder bursts!

This was the expression of the three people who were stunned when they saw the huge black shadow of the dome of the royal city.

Broad wings that cover the sky, unimaginably large bodies, high and hideous heads, claws and fangs as sharp as swords and spears......

The foul smell of scorched earth in the air made Loren frown, staring incredulously at the shadow still hovering overhead, his right hand clutching the hilt of his sword in a cold sweat.

He had seen Brandon's Miracis countless times in Ebolden and Sackland, and a dragon alone would not have scared him to such an extent.

This is the legendary kingdom of the dragon king, Nidhogg, the legendary land of dragon hunters and dragon riders, and even the appearance of one or two dragons in the Lost King City is not an "unexpected" situation......

But it was a "dragon" with only bones and gray-blue flames burning in its eye sockets......

Is this also a normal phenomenon?!

For a moment, Loren, who frowned, stared at the terrifying shadow, and a drop of cold sweat slipped down his forehead.

This monster, like the dead people, has become a royal city guard to prevent itself from moving on;

Or... Was it summoned by some "being"?!

The shattered spiral towers were still crumbling, and the soaring "bone dragons" were still roaring like thunder, roaring and spreading their wings, and swooping down from the sky once more.

"Run!"

The moment the black-haired wizard's words fell, the three of them immediately turned their heads and ran wildly!

"Boom ————!!!!"

Roars and crumbling noises came from behind them, and in the smoke and dust, the terrible shadow had fallen over their heads.

Thunder exploded——!

..........................................

The wind was howling, and the solemn-looking Farnesis was isolated on a tall tower directly in front of the royal city, his dark and thin figure looking fragile and small in the cold wind, and his cold eyes stared intently at the end of his sight, the dragon king's tower, which was already close at hand.

This is the White Stone Tower directly in front of the gate, one of the only two roads in the Dragon King Castle that leads directly to the Dragon King's Tower, and directly in front of it is a long bridge and staircase that leads directly to it, and everything is close in front of you.

That's right, it's all in sight!

For Fanecis, there was no more exciting, hesitant, incredulous, even a little more "panicked" than this moment.

He is about to arrive at the place where the Holy Cross first came to earth to deliver the proverbs to the world!

Even within the Church of the Holy Cross, only a handful of bishops and archbishops truly understand these secrets - yes, the first archbishop of the Holy Cross, the saint who conveyed the will of the Holy Cross to the world, was actually a remnant of the Dragon Kingdom.

The proud, proud Sakran people are not the beloved people of the Holy Cross, nor are they the chosen ones as myths and legends suggest, it is all just a misunderstanding, simply because the first country that the saint visited was Saklan...... These are the "truths" that the church is difficult to open and try to hide.

But it's all gone, and it's all about me.

I, Phanesces, a faithful and faithful believer, have been able to set foot again in the land of the Holy Cross, and it is so... It's like a dream!

Slowly opening his arms, Fanecis's expression was more frenzied and excited than ever, even if his expression was completely distorted by the sharp pain in his head, he couldn't suppress the excitement from the bottom of his heart.

At the other end of the long bridge, hundreds, if not thousands, of guards were rushing towards him, the whistling of arrows and spears pierced the sky, the roaring werewolves left a trail of afterimages on the long bridge, and the neat and roaring footsteps of the neatly paced guards came ......

Alone, Farnesis had no role, his cold gaze stared at the guards, and he didn't move.

A torrential rain of arrows and throwing spears rained down, and in an instant even the sky was obscured by shadows——!

The corners of Fanescis's mouth curled up with a hint of sarcasm.

A strange scene happened - at the moment when the arrow landed and was about to pierce the heart of Fanesis, all the arrows and throwing spears seemed to touch some transparent "wall", turned into flying ashes, and disappeared without a trace!

But it doesn't end there...... The roaring werewolf leapt from the long bridge and pounced on Fanesis' emaciated figure with its bloody jaws open.

"Bang ——!"

There was a violent sound, and the ferocious werewolf half-seemed to have been "hit" by something, and it instantly shattered, and the messy bones scattered on the long bridge from mid-air.

The silent guards launched a surprise attack in a neat line, one, two, three...... Hordes charged with shield walls, spears, battle axes, and swords.

But in the end, all of them stopped at the three steps of Farnesis, either inexplicably bounced off, or formed into broken bones.

No one was spared.

And the sneering Farnesis also stood on the white stone giant tower from beginning to end, never stepping into the long bridge for half a step.

"Hehehe... That's right... It's ironic......"

There was a faint murmur in his ears, which made Fanesis's expression instantly cold.

"The 'barrier' against the invaders has become a tool to destroy the guards... These scumbags... I never thought I'd have this day......"

The silent Fanecis clenched his fists tightly, and the convulsions of his body became more and more obvious, and he was tormented by severe pain, almost reading word by word:

"What exactly do you want, Seliol......"

"What do I want... That's an interesting question......" The faint voice sounded again, with a hint of ridicule and sarcasm:

"Wasn't it me granting your wish all along... Dog of the Holy Cross ......"

"Think about it... When you're about to die... Who resurrected you......"

"Did anyone tell you... The bones of the dragon Ovnir... and gave you the power to envoy it......"

"Whose power is it... Passing you through the glacial wasteland... Arrive at Niderhogg under numerous mortal threats......"

"Who... Allowing you to find the right route to the Dragonlord's Tower......"

"It's... Holy Cross?"

The ironic ending left Fanecist in a moment of silence, and his body trembled even more.

He could even feel something in his consciousness being eroded and dissipating, and some more powerful abscess was taking over those places.

"Less nonsense!"

Gritting his teeth to endure the pain, Farnesis said coldly, "What do I want you to accomplish?!"

"The spiral tower to the south has been destroyed... As for those people......" The voice also sneered, "Even if it wasn't turned to ashes by the flames... It's impossible to get to the Dragonlord's Tower......"

"All that's left is to destroy the barrier... Do you need to borrow my power again... Dog of the Holy Cross ......"

"I'd love to do it... I don't need anything in return......"

"Shut up!" interrupted the voice abruptly, and Fanecis's expression was hard to see.

Yes, all of this is only necessary - whether it is to use the people of Loren Turin or the power of the evil gods, it is only a compromise that has to be made to accomplish the ultimate goal.

Even when the Holy Cross preaches the Gospel, doesn't it also rely on the power of mortals?

I have done nothing wrong, everything I have done is only for the end, everything is for the sake of the Gospel of the Holy Cross, I have not bowed to the vile gods, my faith is still strong!

I didn't......

"Ahh——!!!!!h

Screaming bitterly and hysterically, the pained expression of Farnesis finally couldn't bear it anymore, and fell to his knees on the cold stone slab, closing his eyes tightly and not daring to look at his body.

From the black ten-character inscription on his right arm to the entire half of his body, which was covered with black lines, and there were signs of continued erosion, the tormented Phanesis struggled to resist with only a clear will.

Once again, the laughter that shook the soul came from my ears——!

"Do you finally feel it... The dog of the Holy Cross... You'll soon be no longer 'human'......"

"But rest assured... I'm not going to devour your ...... so quickly."

"I'm going to wait until you witness the 'truth'... That moment......"
