Chapter 304: Soul Lock Warden
The burst of fire from the muzzle engulfed the evil spirits at the bottom of the stairs, but the gurgling laughter never stopped.
The undead had a dim wheel of light around it, completely isolating the flames from the outside, unscathed.
He laughed and twitched the lantern to put away the wheel of light, revealing an abomination.
Wrapped in an old black robe, the rusty key around his waist scraped the edges. It held a corpse-attracting lantern in its hand, and it swayed with its chains, faintly revealing the flesh that still remained on his body. Moans of grief emanate from within, and seem to contain an infinite desire for evil.
Barren and dilapidated, emotionless, yet with a sadistic frenzy.
Warden of the Soul Lock - Hammerstone.
He was the closest and first undead to the place of the incident at the time of the Great Ruup, completely retaining his will and completely magnifying his evil and twisted psychology, turning into this terrifying appearance.
Like his kind, he floated softly up the stairs, a groan of pain coming from his robes. Hammerstone raised his head half an inch, and the couple saw him baring his excessively sharp teeth and grinning grimly in anticipation.
"Run." Hammerstone's voice was indistinct, as if he was smacking a piece of fresh meat in his mouth.
The sentinels sought out the evil vault he had guarded during his lifetime to uncover the secrets of the Curse of Ruin and the root of Xena's curse.
But Senna's curse has a strong attraction to the undead, and the strong life force contained in her body makes the undead flock to her, so Hammerstone notices her from the beginning.
As they searched the basement for answers, they didn't know that the sadistic warden had set his sights on them.
Just as they were about to solve their questions, Hammerstone appeared.
He exuded the purest malice in the world, and his horned head was surrounded by emerald green flames, and his flesh and skin were gone.
Sentinel, the more experienced Sentinel, knew who it was, and many of the Light Sentinels had died under the Hammerstone's chain before them.
She wants to evacuate, but Lucian's obsession with unlocking his wife's curse is too strong and one step away from the truth, and he refuses to turn back.
So under the blind attack, the couple fell into the trap of the warden little by little.
Hammerstone was not in a hurry to put the light sentinel couple in front of him into a cage, this is the Shadow Island, a forbidden place for life, where can they run to?
This chase is just a prelude to the torture of Hammerstone, and the soul of the lover can often create the most extreme pain, and love makes the pain sweeter and sweeter.
There is nothing more painful in the world than to watch your lover ...... with you With endless torment.
But Hammerstone is not in a hurry to taste the feast as soon as he comes up, and it should start with one's suffering.
Love is the chain that connects you and mine, and no matter where the other person flees, the pain transmitted through the chains will not diminish in the slightest.
Seeing that the gunfire was useless, Senna continued to run upward, and Lucian used the bullets of the Holy Light in vain to suppress the pace of the Hammerstone's pursuit, covering Xena's evacuation.
Hammerstone raises the lantern and emits a round of black light, dissolving all attacks into nothingness.
The two sentinels of light are still too tender.
Hope, like an innocent child, rushes to the rocks.
Looking at Senna, who was about to run out of the vault stairs, Hammerstone flicked the chain hook and went straight behind Senna.
At that moment, time seemed to slow down.
Chains that glowed with a malevolent glow lit up the narrow corridors, piercing through the black mist and approaching the shining souls.
Senna couldn't run away, or the hook would go over her and hit her lover.
Before the hook hit her body, she felt a sharp pain. She seemed to see what was happening in the next few seconds, and everything was in order.
She ran forward, only to hear a popping sound behind her. They escaped the dark hallway, and Lucian turned around, but with a horrified expression on his face.
Senna turned around and saw that her body had been pulled to the ground by the chain, and the blade had slashed into her body, and blood was gushing from the wound.
Confused, she reached out to Lucian, but her arm passed through his body and couldn't be touched.
The old lantern began to burn, and the Warden of the Soul Lock held it up and began to light up. The gates of the ancient prison opened, and the black mist stretched out tentacles that bound her soul and penetrated into the lantern, drowning out the swirling light.
She was stretched away in front of her beloved, and the darkness filled the lantern, and along with countless souls longing for liberation, were swallowed up by the rolling shadows, leaving behind a cry of pain.
And what hurt more than the scythe was the pain on Lucian's face.
Her last scream was screaming and begging Lucian to escape.
These were the things that Senna could foresee in the next few seconds, but she had no time to make any changes, so she could only run forward in vain, standing between the resentful spirit and her husband.
At the moment of crisis, a terrifying figure appeared out of thin air behind Senna, raising her palm to block the vicious chain hook for her.
Senna didn't know who the monster was standing behind her, and even the warden didn't know where he came from. I saw him raise his arms and throw out a strong purple electric light, and the energy that dissolved everything made the souls of both husband and wife tremble.
The lightning pierced Hammerstone's rotten robes and shattered his withered ribs. Hammerstone roared, but a black halo resurfaced around the lantern, picking up the shattered bones.
The sound of chains mopping the floor echoed harshly in the hallway, and the warden was about to launch a counterattack.
The strange man threw his fist at the wall, and the broken corridor could not withstand the huge bombardment, and collapsed in an instant.
"Run!"
The trio escaped from the precarious vault, and the ruins of the wall behind them rolled down the corridor, drowning the screaming evil spirits.
Karn let out an icy sigh as he watched the vicious ghostly fire in Hammerstone's eyes be buried in the dust.
He turned his head to look at Lucian and his wife, who had been able to escape because of his help, but saw that they were far away from him, and they were extremely vigilant with their pistols raised, as if he were no less terrifying than the evil warden.
In an instant, he remembered Kaisha's distressed expression when she was misunderstood.
It's been a long time since I've appeared in front of people like this, and the precipitated memories have come back to my mind.
Kai'Sa and Sarah arrived, just in the way of the couple's retreat. They finally couldn't bear the threat, and they opened their mouths with a cold warning that no one should approach.
"Whatever you are? Don't come any closer, or we'll shoot without hesitation. ”
Karn knew it was hard to believe that he was a good man, even though he had just snatched their souls from the hammerstone.
"We are not evil spirits." Karn opened his mouth with a noisy, overlapping echo before he lifted his helmet, revealing a human face.
Seeing this, Kai'Sa lit the lantern in her hand, revealing her bewildered face under the helmet with Sarah.
