When Ledroth's long-cherished wish of pursuing countless reincarnations came true, under the impact of the powerful wish, the spear that pierced his body gradually disappeared, and the surrounding black mist began to pour into his body, filling those wounds.

His body gradually solidified, and the memories that belonged to him began to slowly come back to his mind.

"Calista?" When he woke up to see his loved one close at hand, he thought the dream he had dreamed of for centuries had come true.

Likewise, his return was a pleasant surprise for Calista.

"It's me." Calista's face had a strange expression, and though it was too slight to detect, Letros felt it.

Then he saw the pendant around Calista's neck, and could not hide the ecstasy in his heart, and the gloomy light on his face was extinguished: "You are ......"

"Hmm." Calista looked away shyly.

"Can I hear you say it again? Suddenly, I didn't see the process...... "Halfway through the sentence, there was no follow-up."

He saw Calista's expression change, a precursor to the desire for revenge, and he was so frightened that he quickly stopped his mouth.

"You don't have to worry, I won't change back for a while, I'm just a little embarrassed......"

Calista pursed her lips, she was used to a frosty expression.

"Won't it change back? What's going on? Ledros was confused.

"Your friend somehow forcibly woke me up from my disorientation."

Lydros's gaze extended behind Calista, and he saw Jeno and the others, all with narrow smiles on their faces.

His hundred-year-old face flushed, because he had just focused all his attention on Calista, and he didn't notice a few people not far away, so that people could see the joke, which was really careless.

"By the way, can you get up from my arms?"

At this time, Calista's mending knife made him want to find a crack in the ground to get into.

Jeno laughed loudly, and the tall Ledros lay in the arms of the slender and tall Calista, which was very visually striking.

"How can you still laugh with a spear in your stomach?" Ledros jumped up from Calista's arms and said with some concern.

"But that doesn't stop me from laughing." Jeno said, "Tell me what's going on inside?" ”

He wasn't worried about the damage to his body, because the wound would be repaired, he was more worried about the cursed power that the black spear emanated all the time.

However, what he didn't expect was that when he was about to use his magic power to suppress the curse, the seed of life that had been silent for a long time was actually absorbing the power of the curse.

So, even if the spear pierces his body, what is he to fear?

"Behind the door......" Speaking of the basement, Ledros had a look of trepidation on his face, and then his eyes widened, as if he was remembering something very terrible.

"Hammerstone...... That guy from Hammerstone wants to cheat the king out of his treasure! If he gets it, everything on the Shadow Island will be thrown into his cage! ”

——

Time goes back to the moment when Hammerstone died.

By Lucian's hand, he managed to die, to the vault of mysteries that he could not reach, and to be resurrected from the tainted fountain of life.

After reincarnation, limited to the rules set by the Ruined King, all the undead have to wander back to the point of death to wake up, and this rule is only made so that he will not be disturbed by other undead.

With the help of Karthas, Hammerstone escaped the rules of reincarnation and did not have some of his memories drained as a result.

Standing in the pool, he realized that the black fog that permeated the entire Shadow Island had originated from this pool of sewage.

Then he saw the ruined king kneeling by the pool, and he bowed his head and hugged the queen's body, as if in repentance. This posture has been maintained for centuries. The sword of the king by his side has supreme magical power, and if you hold it, you can modify the rules of the Shadow Island at will.

He left the pool like any other geist, temporarily distancing himself from the Ruined King, without alarming him.

While waiting, Karthhas successfully ambushed Jeno with the army of the undead, resulting in the deaths of Rydros and Lucian.

Elise's ability to dispel the undead seemed to Karthas to be child's play, and the reason why she waited until she entered the city to attack was just a careful arrangement of hammerstones.

Lucian and Ledras were then resurrected in the pool, and during the lapse in their memory, they were easily controlled by the hammerstone.

In addition, Karthas also found Hecarim, who was sealed by Jeno, and helped him to free himself.

Hammerstone imprisoned the resurrected Hecarim as well, and used it as bait to lure Calista to come.

He removed the crystal bottle containing the Fountain of Life from Lucian's body and approached the Ruined King, saying that it would wake up his queen and talk to him about his loneliness.

As a condition, Hammerstone asks the Ruined King to bring Senna's soul out of the black fog and instructs Ledroth to guard the gate so that he can see the beautiful scene of his lover killing each other.

The Ruined King agreed, it wasn't difficult for him, he loved his queen too much, but unlike him, the queen became only the worst undead when the curse spread, an unconscious walking corpse.

Then let Karthas guide Genor and the others to follow Callista to the gate, show them the good things, and destroy them in the black fog tunnel.

Rydros didn't know what happened next, because he was sent to guard the gate by order of the Ruined King, and he didn't see what happened next.

But it is conceivable that Hammerstone must be coveting the sword of the king in the hands of the Ruined King, and thinking of using this new "toy" to do something terrible.

Hearing Ledroth's explanation, everyone's heads, including Jeno, were buzzing. It was too shocking to digest such a large amount of information in a short period of time.

The game of chess under Hammerstone was so big that he even took advantage of his own death. If it weren't for Yorick and Jeno working together to stop Calthus, and Jano forcibly waking Calista, they might have died in the tunnel knowing that they would have died a long time ago, let alone hearing the truth from Lydros in person.

There was only one thought left in everyone's minds - if such a treacherous undead could get the Sword of the Ruined King, would they still have a chance of winning?

Obviously, the answer is no.

"Let's go, as long as the hammerstone hasn't tricked the king's sword into its hands, there is still hope." Jeno sighed, forcibly pulling himself together.

"I kind of can't figure out why Karthhas would help Hammerstone so much." Ledros said.

He suspected that Hammerstone had deceived not only his king, but even his companion Karthas.

"The reason why Karthhas has been working for Hammerstone is probably that there is some kind of win-win agreement between them." Karthus's work for Hammerstone reminded Elise of her relationship with LeBlanc: "But Hammerstone kept pushing Karthus away, and he wanted to keep the cursed sword to himself. If Karthas knew that he had been betrayed, he would have been angry. ”

Extremely sensitive to the word betrayal, Calista angrily kicked open the door of the basement on the spot.

Facing the black mist rushing to her face, she grabbed her spear and said coldly: "Even if my uncle has become crazy, I can't let him be deceived by villains!" ”

In her eyes, Hammerstone was already charged with betrayal.

ps: The plot of the decisive battle is a bit brain-burning, and I am dizzy, so it's a bit difficult. I have limited ability, so I may not be able to write that feeling, but the cunning of Hammerstone is at least a little feeling. There are three shifts today, and there will be one shift later.
