My name is Akatosh,

Is this a new priesthood?

—4E, 201, Moon of Fire, 28th, 19:43 —

The Realm of Annihilation, the Stone Mound of the Soul.

The billowing clouds, the barren lilac earth, the strange debris of broken walls and stone monuments, the lightning that slashed to the ground from time to time, the huge soul stones floating above some ruins, and the sporadic wandering blue spirits were exactly the same as the scenery Arthur had seen in his "dreams".

The existence of the Soul Stone Mound had never been doubted due to the fact that his strength had indeed increased at that time, but now he was only more convinced, and that he could teleport so accurately from the cold harbor open passage had raised Zela's rating once again - although it was already the highest at the moment.

Among the companions who came together, Princess Amir did not react in any way, as if this was just an ordinary plain, and the eyes of her escort were sharp, and they kept looking around, as if they were looking for cover or possible enemies, while Babas was in a daze.

"Ah...... Bad news for everyone. Zela waved her staff and said, "Do any of you remember what day it is?" ”

"The month of the fire, the twenty-seventh, what?" Arthur replied, beginning to think about why she asked.

"Actually, today is already -" The female mage waved her staff again, and a row of graceful handwriting appeared in the air.

[4E, 201, Moon of Fire, 28th, 19:46]

Click, as if to prove that it is not an ordinary combination of words and numbers, this row of handwriting after attracting everyone's attention, "46" flashes and becomes "47".

28th?

"This spell is usually used by the academy's apprentices when they are too lazy to light the lamp," Zela nodded at the line of text with the tip of her staff, "but in fact, its inventor intended to use it in a place where the sense of time is chaotic, or after falling into a coma for a long time and other uncontrollable states." ”

"We've been unconscious?" Parathos asked, rather nervously.

"No, I'm sure my actions and thoughts have not been interrupted at all, but when I passed through the two annihilation realms, the main material world suddenly skipped a day," Zela shook her head slightly, "If anyone had been watching us, they would probably have seen us completely disappear as soon as we stepped into the entrance on the cold harbor side, only to emerge through the exit of the soul stone mound a day later." ”

Why did she say it as if someone was really looking at her......

"Babas?" Arthur bowed his head to ask the Earth Dog's opinion.

"Wang! I do know that it takes time to travel from annihilation to the Overworld, and the stronger the Demon God, the longer it takes, and the annihilation is not clear, after all, the conflicts between them are all carried out in the Overworld. Barbas replied.

Therefore, due to Baal's severe injuries, it did not take too long to reach his annihilation, and although this soul stone mound did not have an owner, it seemed to be very strong in itself.

"Anyway, let's go back to the Overworld first when we get things done here, and if it takes us longer to get to Songgard, we have to arrange some things first." Zela frowned slightly.

That's right, Arthur thought, although he didn't agree with Alduin's assessment of "the evil of this world", but the interpersonal relationship was indeed as he said, and the intertwined links were very complicated, and if he wanted, the energy he used was enough to elect any of the three dragonborns present as the "High King" of Skyrim Province, after all, they all had the title of baron - oh, princess, forget it, people mentioned a word to their father.

————

Although there was a little accident that didn't know what the consequences would be, there was still something to do when he came to the Soul Stone Mound, and Zela seemed to be looking for her friend's soul, and he was going to take this Hakong to his wife and daughter.

But the problem is, there are no ghost dragons running around this time, in that case, how will they find that castle in the boundless realm of annihilation?

"Mr. Hakong," Arthur said as he walked over to the two vampires who had been brought together, "I don't know if you've been here, and you don't need to, just point in a random direction now." ”

Hearn was still unconscious, and the collateral damage caused by the killing of Barr didn't seem to be enough to kill him, while Hakong's face was very calm, calm to the point of eeriness, as if some problem that had been bothering him for a long time had been solved, so he entered a state of some kind of empty mind.

"Over there." Hakong raised his hand and pointed in a random direction.

"Very well, then let's go in the opposite direction." Arthur nodded.

Emile naturally didn't have any opinions, but Zela suddenly let out a "huh".

"Anyway, because it's not mine...... I'm familiar with the field, so I'm going to have to use prophecy if I want to find something," she looked at Arthur in amazement, "How did you come up with the direction I just predicted?" ”

"It's very simple," Arthur was inexplicably in a good mood for being surprised by Zela, "As the ancestor of vampires, Mr. Hakong must be able to feel the place of other vampires, but he hasn't seen his wife and daughter for thousands of years, it must be that he doesn't want to go to them, whether it's because of Baal's threat or his own reasons, in the current situation of being in the same annihilation, let him point in one direction at will, there is a great possibility that he will go against them." ”

"Wang~ sounds reasonable." Barbas said.

"Huh," Hakong's calm face fluctuated slightly, as if smiling? "Neither Berelica nor Serana are vampires, they escaped when Barr intended to make them the 'Daughters of Cold Harbor.'"

“……”

“……”

That's embarrassing.

"Well, it was a mistake, but he did point in the right direction," Zela waved her staff threateningly at Hakong, "Are you going to take your henchmen with you, or will I use levitation on you?" ”

"I don't dare to do it." Hakong shook his head, leaned over to pick up Hearn, and walked in the direction Arthur had pointed out.

"It shouldn't be far, right?" Zela followed behind with her staff, and glanced at Arthur.

"Speaking of which, that ghost dragon called 'Dunaville' seems to have come from here, and I wonder if there is a way to cut off its spell summoning spell." Although Arthur knew that it was time to transform into a dragon and invite his companions to ride, and take Hakong and Hearn in the dragon's claws, he somehow didn't want to do so in front of Zela, so he played dumb and stepped to follow.

————

"Click, click." "Wow!"

Due to the right direction, the originally very barren plain in the field of vision gradually began to appear more intact buildings, the number of wandering souls and huge soul stones suspended in the air also began to increase, Arthur even saw a lot of "soul shells" that he had eaten in his dream next to a certain ruin, but before he could think about whether to pick it, he saw Babas rush out with a snort and bite it off by the roots, and then chewed and ran back.

"Soul shell?" As expected, Zela really knew this thing, and her expression looked a little strange: "The king soul here eats this thing, which is equivalent to putting a 'shell' on his soul, which can help the soul with a mind to stabilize himself, and he will not be sucked away when he runs close to those soul stones, and he can also accept the call of the main material world, but if the living creature eats it, ......"

"A big increase in strength?" Arthur is not sure either, after all, his "constellation" should not be available to everyone.

"That's a dream, if a living person eats this thing, it's like putting another layer of shell on the outside of the body, although it is temporarily immune to the attack of those soul stones, but it will gradually cut off the connection between himself and the world, and if he eats too much, he will be ejected," Zela paused, adding: "These are what I read in the book." ”

Buzz –

As if to annotate Zella's words, a bright blue film of light resembles those souls, as if the figures in a painting had been touched in blue ink.

“…… Wow. Emile blinked in amazement, and then began to glance around, as if he was planning to find one like this to eat.

"No, wait, Your Highness Princess, there's definitely something bad about that thing, and it shouldn't taste good......" Palasos was so frightened that he hurriedly dissuaded him.

"Wang! Crunch! Barbas exclaimed, "It's a pity it's tasteless." ”

How many more are you going to eat?

Click! A bolt of lightning hit the ground not far away, creating a small patch of scorched earth, and at the same time, more than a dozen skeletons with pitch-black bodies crawled out of the ground.

They were confused for a moment, as if they were about to climb back up, but suddenly they charged at Babas with their broken weapons held high as if they were attracted by something.

"Wait? Woof! Oh? Babas had planned to dodge, but the light film on its body seemed to have its own life, and it fought back directly at the skeletons.

The dog and the bones were in a fight, during which Barbas regained control of his body several times, but was slashed several times by the skeletons because he was surrounded by them, and finally fought in a rage.

"Well, that's what it looks like if your soul isn't strong enough." Zela commented.

“…… Oh. Amir looked like he had given up on trying it out.

As he spoke, Babas completely shredded the black skeletons, and just breathed a sigh of relief, but the blue light film took it into a threatening and ready to attack posture towards the few people on this side.

"Nope! Help! I don't want to die! The earth dog screamed.

"That's enough, if you continue, you can lose the face of the demon god - 'purification'!" Zela held her forehead with her left hand, and waved her staff with her right hand to point at Babas, and the light film disappeared directly, and the earth dog lay on the ground very exaggeratedly and gasped.

In Arthur's vision, the film of light turned into a tiny black "death" that merged into the terrifying "death vortex" around Zela's body the moment it disappeared.

And the next moment, without the appearance of new geistins, more than a dozen white "soul shells" grew and bloomed around Zela.
