Like a sword.

Like a knife.

The gaze containing the aura of the five major source forces of demons, original sin, dawn, plague, and holy thorns, as if they were about to pierce the space.

Fleeting.

But borrowing the strange power of Hackold's corpse to look at Qin Ran, it seemed that he had suffered a catastrophe.

Bang!

Hackard's body exploded right from the inside.

There are no bones left.

And more chain reactions are just emerging.

……

Under the grey sky, the concrete steps twisted and swirled, like a bridge across the darkness.

A figure in a black robe walked slowly with a crystal ball in his hand.

The black robe was dark, and the palms of the figures were thin and black.

Only the crystal ball bloomed with a faint light, but this kind of brilliance did not give people any bright feeling, on the contrary, it made the surroundings become more and more dim.

It's like sucking in the light around you.

Thundered!

The river under the bridge roared, like a huge wave crashing against the rocks, but such a roar still could not hide the steady and powerful footsteps.

Click, click!

Every time the metal boot came into contact with the steps, it made a metallic sound.

A knight wearing black armor and his face completely obscured by the armor appeared in the field of vision of the robed figure, and when he saw the oncoming black-armored knight, the figure in the robe couldn't help but pause.

"I've seen Lord Sfendić."

A figure in a robe greeted the black-armored knight respectfully and politely.

"Ruerte is playing his little tricks again."

"Which hapless guy fell in love with him?"

The black-armored knight couldn't help but laugh as he looked at the crystal ball in the hand of the robed attendant.

"A new transcendent in the city of Eikande."

The waiter didn't hide anything from the person in front of him, and answered truthfully.

"The New Rising?"

"Who is it?"

The black-armored knight, who had been exploring the 'Inner Realm' for a long time, obviously didn't know what was going on in the outside world, and the other party asked curiously.

"A transcendent being known as the 'Gluttonous King.'"

The waiter replied.

"The King?"

"It's really a decadent age, and anyone dares to call themselves kings."

The black-armored knight immediately sneered.

In the face of such a sneer, the waiter did not explain more to Qin Ran, the waiter who knew his identity very well knew very well what kind of posture he should choose when facing the black-armored knight in front of him.

Interpretation?

No, you don't.

Even if Qin Ran had extremely strong strength, it was the same.

Unless he wants to be thrown down.

The waters of the River of Darkness weren't just cold, they were deadly, and he didn't want to be crushed.

"I don't think Lut would mind if I went to watch, did he?"

The black-armored knight said this, and strode forward.

In this regard, the waiter also did not dare to object.

Following the black-armored knight, the attendant walked briskly.

Passing through the stairs that spanned the River of Darkness, the two entered a large, entirely stone-made building.

The building was like a tall tower, standing straight under the gray sky, like a black giant sword stuck in the earth, exuding all kinds of ominousness.

Translucent ghosts weave back and forth around the tower.

They are tormented.

They wailed.

They roared.

They weep.

But none of them dared to really get close to the black tower.

Unless......

It is a complete loss of reason in the torment.

"Ahhh

With a shrill roar, a wraith rushed madly towards the black tower.

But before he touched the black tower, the black on the tower seemed to come to life, quickly gathering and condensing, like a blooming man-eating flower, swallowing the ghost.

The black-armored knights and attendants saw this scene.

The two were indifferent.

They're used to it.

"Tell the tower keepers that the Black Tower needs more fresh souls."

The Black Knight spoke to the gatekeeper as he walked through the gates of the Black Tower.

"Yes, Lord Sfendić."

The gatekeeper bent over.

The black-armored knight and the waiter passed through the door.

The corridors inside the Black Tower are narrow, dense, and criss-crossed, like a cobweb-weaved passageway, with doors on either side of the corridor.

Behind the heavy wooden doors, there was mostly silence.

In a small part, there were the sounds of whipping, clubbing, and even cannon branding.

Naturally, there were bursts of screams.

Hearing this, the black-armored knight couldn't help but laugh.

"Sure enough, it's better here."

"The 'Inner Realm' doesn't hear anything like that."

"All that's there is ......"

Before he could finish speaking, the black-armored knight once again masked his words with laughter.

Obviously, that's a secret.

The waiter who followed the black-armored knight lowered his head more and more.

Secrets, always arouse curiosity.

But inside the Black Tower, curiosity can be deadly.

And the secret?

It is the root cause of calamity.

If you want to live here for a long time, you have to make sure that you don't have any curiosity, and you have to talk less, see less, ask less, and do more.

Soon, in the narrow corridor, all that was left was the faint screams and footsteps behind the door.

After rounding the seven corners, the black-armored knight and the attendant walked down.

Eventually, they stood in front of a door.

The door was not closed, and standing outside, you could clearly see the layout of the hall.

The circular hall is full of arcane texts on the floor.

A giant serpent the size of a bucket was suspended from the ceiling.

The serpent did not die.

The snake hyacinth still keeps swallowing.

The cold light in the snake's eyes made the attendant behind the black-armored knight tremble.

"Your Excellency."

The waiter fell to his knees, raised the crystal ball in his hand above his head, and shouted in his mouth.

Hiss!

With the snake's hiss, the serpent's mouth opened.

A figure full of slime slipped out of the snake's mouth and stood firmly on the ground, the slime scattered in all directions, causing a fishy stench to appear all around.

The black-armored knight didn't mind the fishy smell at all, but was the boss behind the mask.

He was looking forward to it.

And in this anticipation, the giant snake hanging from the ceiling suddenly pounced and swallowed the waiter into his mouth in one bite.

It is different from the swallowing of ordinary snakes.

The snake actually chewed.

Burst!

The waiter in the snake's mouth shattered like a smashed watermelon, and blood mixed with minced flesh fell from mid-air.

In a few moments, it was covered with the entire ground.

The crystal ball, stained with blood, floated out of thin air in front of the slime-covered figure.

As soon as the fingers make contact with the crystal ball.

Immediately, the blood on it and the flesh on the ground turned into a red mist.

The black-armored knight, who had been waiting for a long time, couldn't wait to take a sip.

"It's intoxicating."

The black-armored knight complimented.

If it weren't for this purified flesh and blood essence, how could he say a word to a lowly subordinate?

Of course, he didn't come here just for a bite of flesh and blood.

He had more important things to do.

"You can leave."

The man covered in slime said coldly.

"Don't you think you're getting colder and colder, Lurt?"

"We had a good relationship before."

"I may have deceived you about something, but I think we can go back in time - remember the bone flower I gave you?"

The black-armored knight stood still, his voice apologetic.

"Of course I do."

"I remember the stinging pain in the cold when you plunged the dagger into my lungs afterwards."

"Every time I breathe now, it hurts."

"How could I forget?"

The man covered in slime said slowly.

"If it weren't for you trying to gouge out my heart, how could I stick you with a dagger?"

"So, we're two clear."

"And now, I've made a discovery in the 'Inner Realm.'"

"Come to think of it, I think only you can help me."

The black-armored knight said with a smile.

"What discovery?"

The slime-covered man asked.

"Mordin's legacy."

The black-armored knight was blunt, but the man covered in slime sneered.

"Mordin's legacy?"

"Every year, someone claims to have found Mordin's legacy in the 'Inner Realm.'"

"But the result?"

"Every time it's a trap with bad intentions."

The man covered in slime had an extra disdain in his words.

"I can swear by calamity!"

"There is no deception or malice!"

The Black Knight swore a curse.

Undoubtedly, such an oath is very effective for the person covered in slime in front of him.

The man covered in mucus was breathless, and the slime on his body was still for a moment.

After about three or four seconds, he spoke again.

"Are you sure?"

"Sure!"

"Maybe I'm not as good as you in some things, but I'm so familiar with that 'Mordin' that I can't go wrong even if I just look at it!"

The black-armored knight said with great certainty.

Staring at the black-armored knight, the slime-covered man finally nodded.

"Good."

"I'll go and make sure you're familiar with Mordin."

"But before I do it again, there's one little thing I need to accomplish."

The other party said.

"A new transcendent in the city of Eikender?"

"You don't mind me watching, do you?"

"It's been a long time since I've seen you make a move on these Last Descendants."

The black-armored knight asked with a smile.

The slime-covered man didn't answer, but just whispered a spell.

Obviously, the discovery of the Black Knight in the 'Inner Realm' made the slime-covered man tolerant.

The other party doesn't mind watching, let alone snooping.

After all, this kind of power is not something that can be learned by prying eyes.

The eyes behind the mask stared at the man covered in slime.

The other party's gestures and spells, the black knight remembered them without a trace.

Although a large part of his power is due to the relationship between bloodlines, there are certain things that he cares about more.

As for the blurry sight on the crystal ball?

The black-armored knight didn't care at all.

Because, he is very sure that the other party will die like the person who was targeted by the other party before.

Hiss!

Overhead, the hanging serpent began to hiss and swim away.

If it weren't for the ripped skin to let people know that it was hanging, it would look like it was clinging to the ceiling.

"Hackard!"

"Hackard!"

After the slime-covered man shouted, the blurred vision inside the crystal ball became clear, it was the sky, the sky of the city of Eikande.

Then the slime-covered man shouted again.

With this shout, the vision inside the crystal ball couldn't help changing, and finally, a black figure was locked.

"Hehe, I found you."

"High-level demon bloodline!"

"One of the ingredients I'm most looking forward to – I wonder if you have the smell of sulfur in your heart!"

A soothing laugh rang out from the mouth of the slime-covered man.

The other party raised the palm wrapped in slime and pointed straight at the black figure inside the crystal ball.

Airplanes!

An invisible ripple spread out towards the crystal ball in a special way.

And at this time, the black figure opened his eyes.

The gaze containing the aura of the five major source forces of demons, original sin, dawn, plague, and holy thorn appeared in the crystal ball, and the ripples that had just spread into the crystal ball lagged slightly, and they were instantly shattered by the impact.

Bang!

The crystal ball exploded!

And!

The aftermath is rushing towards the slime-covered man!

"No!"

The slime-covered man exclaimed.

He wanted to dodge.

However, there is no way to dodge at all.

I could only do my best to turn the disgusting slime into a shield and block it in front of me.

At the same time, a faint glow shrouded the other party's body.

The heat and the evil were the vanguard, destroying the shield with devastating devastation.

The plague eroded the dim brilliance like locusts in its crossing.

Syllable!

There was a crisp sound, and the dim light shattered instantly.

Then, the blade of the Holy Thorn, swept over the opponent's body.

Burst!

The mucus dissipated, revealing the other party's body like a dried corpse, and he looked down at the cracks that appeared on his body, and the whole person staggered back.

Thump!

The moment he fell to the ground, the body split in two.

The guts, which had long since mutated, flowed all over the ground with a foul stench.

The giant snake that roared and swam on the ceiling exploded the moment its internal organs flowed out.

Rumble!

Flesh and blood flew and the entire rotunda was dyed red.

And when his companion shouted 'no', the black-armored knight who hurriedly exited the rotunda was looking at everything in front of him in disbelief.

Even with the shield of the visor, the black-armored knight could not hide the panic on his face.

He had no idea that such a scene would occur.

"Damn it, my plan!"

The black-armored knight roared dryly.

If he could, he really wanted to remove the black figure in the crystal ball, but ...... The thought of the other man's terrifying eyes made the black-armored knight's whole body tremble.

"Thankfully, fortunately, I'm in Plimpton!"

The black-armored knight was extremely happy.

However, the next moment, a chill rose from his back and rushed straight to his head.

The black-armored knight looked around in disbelief.

But I found nothing.

This made the black-armored knight even more frightened.

Because his instincts are never wrong!

Without thinking about it, the black-armored knight who had just returned from the 'Inner Realm' rushed towards the 'Inner Realm' again.

That person will come here!

Printon isn't safe anymore!

Flee!

Get out of here!

The frightened black-armored knight sped up his pace.

So everyone in the black tower saw the scene of the black-armored knight running away in panic, as if there was some great horror behind him.

No one asked what was going on.

This is the Black Tower.

No!

It's Princeton's rule!

Even if you know what's going on, learn to handle your own business and don't ask anyone else.

What's more, even if it's an inquiry.

The black-armored knight won't say anything either.

He, he needs someone to stop that terrifying existence for him-

Gluttonous King!
