Clancy, Abyssal County.

There was no grass growing on the barren land, and occasionally a few crooked-necked trees stood alone on the wilderness, and the dry bodies of the trees were all full of debris, as if they would shatter at the slightest touch.

There is no wind flowing between the heavens and the earth, and the atmosphere seems to be frozen, and it is extremely difficult to breathe. The heavy condensed atmosphere is difficult to generate buoyancy, so that birds cannot fly over, and it is almost a forbidden area for life.

Looking down from the sky above 10,000 meters, this gray land is as ugly as a scar, and in the center of this scar is a black basin, in which it is extremely dark and there is no end in sight, as if it does not lead to the underground, but to another world.

This black abyss is where the name of the Abyss County comes from, and it seals the source of the calamity, the Chaos Vortex.

A thousand years ago, the Chaos Plague swept through the entire Ivar world, killing nearly half of the population and billions of lives, more than in any previous era of war. Some small races were even completely extinct, such as the ancient ogres, the legendary merfolk, and the descendants of giants, all disappeared from the plague.

It is difficult to explain what the Chaos Phantom is in ordinary images, and even the name is full of vague meanings.

It seems to have a shape and it seems to have no shape, it is erratic, like a mist, and it walks like a phantom beast in the world. Wherever she has been experienced, Manna becomes extremely chaotic and the structure of her life changes. Plants will wither and die quickly, animals will go crazy and mutate, and although most of the mutated animals will die quickly, some will survive and become weird and powerful.

These mutated creatures have no reason, they only follow the instincts of chaos, and their actions are not regular, some will be extremely murderous, some will become desperate to mate, some will keep burrowing, digging in the ground without stopping, and some will chase the sun until they die.

Wherever the chaotic phantom erodes the place, it will become a mess, if the transcendent steps in, it will also be slowly infected, and its own magic will be slowly eroded like a virus, once this erosion spreads to the soul core, it will make people crazy, but if even the soul core is not condensed, it will be the same as the mutant creatures, most of them will die, and only a small number of mutations will succeed and become wandering monsters.

In the early days, this Chaos Phantom had few rivals, spreading through the land and seas at breakneck speed. Ordinary flame incineration would only cause its powder to spread rapidly, and the transcendents of the Ivar world could only use highly intense energy to purify it indiscriminately.

But after all, high-level transcendents are a minority, and if they come into contact with too much, their bodies will be corroded, and the whole world will fall into endless despair.

Until the pure white pillar of light pierced the dark clouds, and the angel descended on the earth.

It's easy to mistake angels for orcs when they first see them, but in reality they're closer to light, with no entities, and only a small number of high-level angels that can condense into energy entities.

These angels have a strong resistance to the erosion of chaos, and their means of power can effectively purify and isolate the power of chaos. With his help, the world of Ivar was finally victorious over the Chaos Calamity, but at the cost of almost all the angels who descended on the earth, and the three highest-ranking Seraphs, one fell into the abyss, one turned into a statue, and the last one was crippled to the heavenly realm.

Thanks to the help of the angels, and also in order to clear the remnants of chaos in various places, the angelic churches have sprung up in various places, and they are divided into several different sects according to the different customs of each place. But the recognized shrine of the Church of Angels is still the sacred mountain of Karenriel, where there is a statue of a seraph.

The Chaos Vortex in Abyss County was originally an important fulcrum of the Angel Church, where many angel sequence transcendents gathered, and at the same time, the lightning knights of the Thunder tribe guarded it.

However, since the civil strife of the west wind, the Knights of Lightning have all been wiped out, and this place has become empty, and after the establishment of Clancy, there has been an additional hand, but the heart is more than enough, and the newly established country still needs time to grow and accumulate in the number of transcendents.

In a huge church near the Chaos Vortex, although it was not completely dark, it was already full of candles, and figures in black robes walked quickly, obeying the call of the bells, and gathered.

"Master Priest, 207 black-clad judges have arrived." A church executive, also dressed in black robes, reported to the sidelines.

"Okay." After a brief answer, the chief priest walked up the steps, dressed in a white robe with a blood-colored arm emblazoned on the back of the robe, which held a chain tightly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, just this morning, a gap appeared in the seal of the Chaos Vortex, and some of these Chaos Phantoms with a small amount of intelligence have broken through and escaped to the outside world."

"At noon, I have reported the matter to the church headquarters, the Sage Society, and the Clancy officials with the commander of the Zhenyuan Army."

"Now, before they are far away, you will lead the team to hunt down these escaped Chaos Phantoms."

"Be sure to wipe out every Chaos Phantom in the barren wilderness, even if there are many sacrifices!"

"Yes." There was a low but firm response from below, and then one by one the inquisitors of Sequence 6 and above walked out of the church, scattered over the gray wilderness, their faces under the hoods of their robes, some wrinkled, some with white hair, these were basically transcendents with no hope of promotion, and they held on to this place for the sake of that noble oath until death took their lives.

After the black-robed inquisitors had walked out, the chief priest breathed a sigh of relief and asked.

"Has the Dark Abyss County's Wind Fixing Magic Array been activated?"

"My lord, it has been activated, and now it is almost running at full strength, but those alchemists said that because there has been no maintenance for a long time, this state of full operation is extremely damaging to the magic array."

"That can't help it, that's all, I hope everything is okay....." he sighed, his voice seemed to be much older.

"Since seven or eight years ago, when that starlight shone into the sky, the frequency of the chaotic vortex has become more and more intense, and those foolish phantoms of the past, as if they have a goal, continue to impact the seal, as if they want to break free from the shackles and pursue something."

"The once unbreakable seal is gradually losing its effectiveness."

"There are not many angels left, according to the original plan of the Sage Society, we will strive to cultivate a new generation of transcendentals, so as to enhance their combat power and suppress the Chaos Vortex."

"However, almost all the transcendents of the new generation have been snare by the high-level of various countries, who wants to come to this desolate place, alas......."

"My lord, why don't you activate that ancient plan and use the fragments of the gods to suppress the Chaos Vortex, just as the Orc Fangs Empire did back then."

"Heh, it is estimated that this can be said thousands of years ago, who dares now?"

"Those witches are all in a group, and even the establishment of Verdant and Zephyr has their shadows."

"At that time, the matter of the Oz Kingdom was not taken advantage of their infighting, so they were lucky to succeed, and finally filled the Chaos Vortex Seal of the Endless Sea."

The executive officer on the side could only sigh silently after hearing this, and it was inevitable that there was some resentment in his heart, countless people have sacrificed in order to guard this place in the past thousand years, and those witches will not be noble, they have lived for so long, why can't they sacrifice it.

"It would be nice to find a newborn witch who hasn't been discovered by anyone else." A murky voice of prayer spread.

Above the wilderness near dusk, dozens of chaotic phantoms scurried across the land, their trajectories chaotic, only vaguely heading towards the east.

A group of black-robed inquisitors wielded fiery lightsabers, scorching and slicing the apparitions, some of them falling and turning into white flames, followed by a group of others who followed until they were slashed out.

In this way, almost all the Chaos Phantoms were annihilated by the white flames, and only one clinged to the ground and disappeared into the vast field under the cover of night.

Loren Hill wielded the blood-red tip of his spear and was about to stop after slicing through the stone axe, when some kind of alarm suddenly sounded in the system, and a bright red message appeared in his field of vision.

Under the shock, the tip of the spear, which was originally wielded freely and with great precision, slowed down for a moment, and a shallow red mark flowed on the girl's forehead, and blood slowly flowed down.
