Chapter 17: The Reappearance of the Light
The King's Spirit spoke again, "The Cecil family was once the staunchest and closest supporters of your watchmen. They are also the most cursed. ”
"Can you tell me what curse they have?" Wright looked at the king.
"Cecil and the Watchers are the only two families to have been blessed by the Creator, and you are allowed to use the power that comes directly from Him, the Light, or the Light for short. Cecil's strongest weapon is their eyes, and their pupils can connect to otherworldly space and banish any object defined by their pupils. After being cursed, Cecil's pupil spell can only connect to the abyss, and the abyss's evil energy will directly enter their eyes and then enter their whole body through the connection. ”
The king stood up, floated to Roy, who was kneeling on the ground with his eyes covered, and continued: "There are even abyssal demons who have replaced the body of a certain Cecil with consciousness through this connection, using their bodies to commit many unpardonable sins. In the end, the Cecil clan was sealed by the archmages of many countries, and the powerful family that rivaled the Warden clan withered. ”
"How did you find out what happened?"
"My soul can move in this world every once in a while. The king came to Wright again, looked at him condescendingly, and said, "Although the watchers have betrayed us, we stone-skinned dwarves still hold fast to our duty, to the duty given to us by the Creator. ”
Wright was speechless, now he couldn't even beat an ordinary mage, his father's will, and the responsibility of the watchman were too far away from him.
"I feel your blood, but why are you so weak?" the king wondered.
"Since my father's death with the Zekelia Worms, I've been the only one left of the watchmen. ”
The king fell into a long silence.
"It seems that you have been punished no less than anyone else. You can still remember your responsibilities, and I think that's why Elzes still favors you. The king floated to his throne and sat down again. He concluded: "What you are looking for is in the depths of the maelstrom outside." Then his soul slowly faded until it was gone.
Lilith and the others break away from the illusion.
Isaac fumbled his body up and down, and in the illusion he carried two rounds of impact, and in the third round he stabbed each other into the chest with an orc two laps older than him.
Roy looked at his hands and slowly stood up after making sure that his body was not occupied by demons.
Lilith fell straight down and fell into a coma.
Reece and Buckle don't know what they've been through, and now they're both panting and adjusting.
Wright quickly approached Lilith, and he slapped Lilith in the face in an attempt to wake her up.
"Hey, if you hit me in the face again, I'll turn my face. Lilith said with her eyes closed.
"Uh... Sorry, I just wanted to wake you up. ”
Lilith got up and looked around, and saw that her companions seemed to have experienced a vision, so she asked Wright, "Have you experienced a fantasy too?" Why do you seem to be the most relaxed one? ”
"Well, I've experienced it too, but the illusion shattered when I slashed at the enemy. ”
"It seems that everyone has a different experience. Did you find anything?"
Wright didn't know whether to tell them about the dwarven king, and after thinking about it for a while, he decided to hide it for now. So he said, "Nothing was found." ”
Lilith was a little unconvinced, because except for Wright, who actively left the illusion, they all passively waited for the illusion to disappear on its own. But seeing that Wright was reluctant to say, she didn't continue to ask. After all, I have secrets that I don't want to tell people.
Bakker asked, "Why did you suddenly fall into a fantasy just now?"
Reece said, "I don't know, I just remember staring at the throne for a while." ”
"Wait, it looks like we all looked at the throne and then fell into a fantasy, right?" said Lilith.
"Is it the crown?" said Isaac, Lilith.
"Go check it out. ”
When everyone arrived at the throne, Isaac put on his gloves and carefully prepared to hold the crown. But as soon as it touched, the crown turned into fine sand.
"Looks like the magic is running out. Lilith said regretfully.
The crown had just been destroyed, and a piercing howl was heard outside the door.
"Oh no, it seems that it is this crown that keeps those evil spirits from approaching, what now. Isaac asked, a little nervous.
"Lilith, what to do!" Reece looked at Lilith.
"I can handle it for a while, but I'm the only one of us, a magician, so I'll have to rush over quickly, or I'll be in dire straits if my mana runs out. ”
"Are you ready?" asked Lilith.
"Ready. Wright and the others stood in formation, surrounding Lilith and Roy in the middle.
Wright is in front, Isaac is behind. Lilith glanced left and right and then ordered, "Rush!"
The team rushed to the gate together.
The gate could no longer stop the evil spirits, and the thud shattered.
A large cloud of black smoke rushed in and collided with Wright.
Evil spirits have no physical damage, but they have decent physical damage, as well as shadow energy damage. The longer you stay around it, the more life will be sucked up by it until it is sucked dry.
Wright was knocked back a few steps, but Lilith's flame scorched at the end of the spirit's attack.
"No, this evil spirit is too powerful, my attack can only serve a short time, and we can only run for our lives. ”
"Ready, you'll rush over as soon as I'll entangle it with Lilith. Wright threw away his two-handed greatsword and drew his one-handed sword, which was rarely used in front of people. Holding a one-handed sword in each hand, Wright started in a rare attack stance, and jumped in front of the evil spirit in an instant.
After the power of the bloodline awakened, the martial arts he learned from his father when he was a child had a soul, and it was no longer just a move. Attacks infused with the power of the Warden's bloodline can inflict substantial damage on the evil spirits, forcing them to deal with them with all their might.
Lilith's magic harassed and intercepted it from time to time, finally buying time and space for the rest of the team to leave.
"Run! I won't be in this state for long!" called Wright.
Reece and Buckle escorted Roy out of the castle first, and then Wright and Lilith used powerful attacks to force off the evil spirits and retreated with Isaac.
Enraged that the creature in front of it had escaped from it, the evil spirit howled in anger and chased after Right's team.
As soon as they ran to the statue, the wails of evil spirits rang out around them!
"Oh no, there's more than one evil spirit, and there are a lot of them around!" Isaac shouted.
"It's over, it's over..."
"Die, die, die," Reece and Buckle muttered.
Evil spirits soon surrounded them.
"I, I feel weak..."Lilith, the weakest of her body, first fell into a coma after her magic ran out. The life absorption field superimposed by the countless evil spirits around them caused their energy to drain quickly, and once they fell into a coma, they were really doomed.
"Hold on... I can't hold it anymore. In addition to Wright, Isaac, who was the most physically fit, also collapsed, and Reece and Buckle fainted when Lilith fainted.
Roy isn't as weak as he seems, at least he'll be able to hold out for a while like Wright. It's a pity that Roy's shadow magic has no effect on evil spirits.
"It can't go on like this. You'll see the right time to run with them!" Roy said, placing his right hand in his eye.
Wright knew what he was up to, and he now confirmed that Roy Cecil was a descendant of the former good Cecil. When he breaks the seal in his eye, their innate pupil skills will connect to the abyss, attracting evil energy and even demonic power.
Whether it is evil power or demon, it is not something that these evil spirits can deal with. Roy was willing to sacrifice himself to save his teammates who were not close.
Wright grinned, Roy Cecil was pure and kind in his heart even though he had gone through such a miserable life.
"You're still in the mood to laugh?" Roy looked at Wright with the look of a fool.
"I'm sure, you're the descendant of the Cecil clan, the closest comrade-in-arms of our watchmen, the most loyal and kind companion!"
Cecil's eyes widened slowly, he turned his head and stared at Wright and shouted, "You're a watcher!! I'm going to kill you!!"
"Let's work together to get through the current crisis first, and I'll leave it to you when we get out. Although he heard that Cecil was going to kill him, Wright had never been happier than he was now. Because he has found the brother who was lost in the line of the watchmen 10,000 years ago!
Wright put away his swords, raised his hands flat, and recited an old and obscure incantation.
"The Light blesses us!"
"Weng!" a pillar of holy golden light lit up from Wright's body, and then spread around him as the center.
The moment the pillar of light lit up, the evil spirit wanted to escape, but it couldn't catch up with the spread speed of the pillar of light, and was swept away.
The sound of "Boom" kept remembering, and all the evil spirits swept away by the holy light turned into ashes.
After the ash layer dispersed, dwarven phantoms appeared, and they gave Wright the greatest gift of thanks among the dwarves.
Some dwarven souls have lost themselves in these 10,000 years of loneliness and gradually turned into evil spirits. After being cleansed of the evil in their souls by the Light, they are finally liberated, and although they will continue to endure loneliness due to the curse, at least they will not turn into evil spirits again.
