Chapter Twenty-Six: Darkness Falls
"Tsk, this is a mission......... The bad taste is really the same as in the game, is the management system of the game server also crossed together? Garriman closed the mission panel and returned his gaze to the Initial Flame in front of him.
Chocolate, who was squatting on Garriman's shoulder, saw that he didn't pay much attention to the information brought by this suddenly popped-up mission, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "The mission says that there is about to be danger here, why don't you hurry up and prepare to escape?" ”
Garriman thought for a moment, and replied, "Of course I'll be nervous, but that won't solve the problem. I'm not the type of big player who plays better when I'm nervous, I need to be calmer to make sure I'm playing properly. ”
Instead of moving the [Initial Fire] in the center of the circle, he turned and walked out of the burial chamber, hesitating to stop as he passed by Shif's corpse.
"What's wrong?" Chocolate asked.
"I'm wondering, it's better to purify its corpse directly, so that even if the negative energy rises, it won't be resurrected as a boss again, especially since there is a powerful undead creature so close to the territory that makes me very uneasy." Garriman stood in front of Shif's corpse, his face cloudy.
"Then purify it." Chocolate licked her paws indifferently and suddenly said in surprise, "I remember you didn't bring that much holy water or phosphor?" Wait, do you want to ..... Just blow up its corpse?! ”
Garriman nodded expressionlessly, his face was so hard that he thought he was paralyzed, "I need a personal reason to convince myself, but I can't think of it myself for the time being, how about you pay attention?" ”
"Well, I remember you were a standard pragmatist, do you still have a conscience?" Chocolate's mouth opened, but there were still words that didn't come out.
Garriman's face darkened a little, "Forget it, don't blow it up, although there is no tradition of cremation here in the Northland because of the relatively expensive fuel, but the materials are limited, so I can't manage so much." ”
With that, he took out the few Molotov cocktails he had, poured all the fuel in them on Schiff, and ignited them with flint and steel.
"It's only scorched, isn't it?" Chocolate wondered.
"The power of the [Initial Fire] can slightly increase the strength of the flames, but let's get the package back first, the contents will help us escape from here quickly." Garriman stopped looking and walked down the stairs.
To return to the [Knights of the Sun Cemetery], you need to go through the aisle full of tombstones, Garriman walked straight without squinting, but his steps unconsciously walked faster and faster, just like you walking alone in a dark corridor or room, even if you know that there will be nothing, but you will still feel inexplicably that something is peeping at you in the dark, and you can't help but want to speed up your pace and walk through this place quickly.
At this point, Garriman felt that the situation was even worse than that, he really felt that there were some things that were not living or undead, but could look at you, and whisper in your ear behind the tombstones, and secretly looked at him after he had passed, making his back cold and sweat dripping.
When he got the backpack, Garriman thought about whether to just give up the [Initial Fire] in the tomb and run away, but he felt unwilling to think about it, so he had to run back to the courtyard outside the tomb, almost knocking off the chocolate lying on his shoulder.
"So the game writers added this Cthulhu setting to the game not only maddening, but also human life." Chocolate was shaking as she picked up Garriman's clothes.
Garriman pressed his feet, which were a little shaky and a little soft, and said stiffly: "Ahem, it's okay." ”
"Then let's not take the [Initial Fire], shall we? Now that something has been suppressed, it is still so powerful, and when the energy source of the magic array is taken away, those abyssal breaths will burst out, wouldn't it be able to directly form a fear realm and scare us to death. Chocolate said pitifully.
"Don't be afraid, I still have a secret weapon." Garriman so comforted the chocolate.
He poured out all the contents of the sack, then dismantled the sack, covered it over a wooden skeleton, and quickly assembled a small glider.
"Although this rudimentary glider can't carry much weight, with the help of the [Feather Fall] to slow down the fall, I think we can still land safely." Garriman patted the chocolate, cleaned up the pour, and got up to get the Initial Fire.
As soon as he stood up, Garriman heard an explosion in the sky, and a distant lament sounded faintly from the bottom of his heart.
The clouds piled up in the sky were scattered by the explosion, and the sky that was supposed to be blue revealed a pitch-black astral appearance, where a star shone in the morning and fell to the earth like a pop.
The orange-red sun hung high in the center, but darkness widened from the center of the sun, and the last black shadow covered the entire sun, revealing only a slight arc of fire at the edges.
Garriman looked up at the sky in amazement, not expecting the death of the sun god to come so suddenly and so quickly.
"Go get the [Initial Fire]!" Chocolate screamed as she saw the darkness creeping down the tombstone hallway.
Garriman didn't stop, he ran into the tomb with maximum speed, picked up the [Initial Fire] that was suspended in mid-air, and turned around and slipped out.
At this time, the heavens and the earth had fallen into darkness without sunlight, and only the burning corpse of Shiv provided this faint light.
The [Initial Fire] in Galiman's hand was also emitting a glowing softness, dispelling the darkness around him. He paused next to Shif's corpse and poured out the little energy left in the Initial Fire into the flames.
The flames that were about to be extinguished burst into flames, and the intense light of the fire flooded Shif's corpse and illuminated a large area. Calriman shouted to Schiff "Good go" and jumped off the cliff with a glider.
As soon as he left the range of the [Knights of the Sun Order's Graveyard], the much stronger mountain wind blew Garriman into the air and rolled several times, but fortunately, the glider did not fall apart directly, otherwise with Garriman's current mana, it would really be a test of luck to support the ground where he had been landing with the [Feather Fall Technique].
"Ahhh..........hhh Chocolate screamed loudly inside Garriman's clothes.
When the wind blew, Garriman reluctantly readjusted his posture, but lost his direction in the darkness of the world.
