For a paladin, betraying one's own faith in the Light is not the worst sin of all.

Even if the Blood Knight only used the Light as a tool and weapon to use, the Light never deprived him of the ability to use the Light - the Blood Knight now lost the Light, not because they lost the ability to use it, but because they lost the source of the Light.

Without faith in the Light, the end result is simply that the power of the Light cannot be obtained through the medium of faith, and there is only one way to deprive a paladin of the ability of the Light in the true sense of the word.

Martyrdom.

As paladins, priests, priests, nuns, and all other priests of the Light faith, choosing to end one's life is absolutely, absolutely taboo.

The Light represents the doctrine of light and redemption, and because of this, the moment its believer completes the ritual called "martyrdom", for whatever reason or by any means, he will be forever abandoned by the Light, and neither body nor soul will be able to be redeemed and purified, and will eventually return to darkness.

For the Light who has always been gentle and tolerant, such a harsh punishment undoubtedly means that the act of "martyrdom" has touched the bottom of the Light, and perhaps, in the eyes of the Light itself, the existence of life itself means radiance, and the choice to give up one's own life, for whatever reason, can be expressed as having "voluntarily renounced the salvation of the Light".

Because of this, since the battle against the undead scourge, countless paladins who have faced death or been tortured after being captured have suffered even more terrible physical and mental pain than death. Nor has there ever been a single one of them who chose to end himself because he could not bear it, and it was all because the harsh meaning of "martyrdom" had been deeply engraved in their souls from the moment they became followers of the Light.

…… What's the horse? You ask me what is holy intervention? All right...... In fact, there is also a clause in the knightly virtue called "sacrifice" - of course, this is absolutely different from "martyrdom"!

All in all, no matter what, Gao He never thought that it was on top of this holy land. In front of the Chapel of the Light's Wish. Named Darien? Mograine's maiden would make such a move.

It's not just Gao He, when the blade has penetrated Darien's body, all the people who see this scene are revealed. It's all incredulous.

"Darien...... My daughter ......

Right now. On the body of the sword of the Ember Bringer. In the skull ornament that exuded the breath of death, a pale soul instantly appeared.

Although it is impossible to see its true face from the violently fluctuating soul, Gao He already knows. This soul is undoubtedly the soul of Mograine, the Ashbringer, who exists in the Fallen Ember Bringer, and has fused with this fallen sword.

"You did...... What ......

Now, the dead Ember Bringer's soul trembled violently, trying to reach out and caress his daughter's pale cheek, but alas, his hand could only pass through Darien's body in vain.

"Father...... Look, that's what you want......"

Facing his father's soul, Darien laughed miserably, but his eyes fell on the ember of ashes who pierced his body.

"I was proud of you, and even when I learned that you had died and become a Death Knight, I believed that if you were free from the control of the undead scourge, you would return to the light and be redeemed......

"But...... I was wrong. ”

She muttered, her powerless body half-on its knees before the soul of the old tear-strewn Ember Bringer.

"I can't love enough...... I can't awaken your conscience and justice, which are buried by hatred, so all I can do is ......"

"No...... You can't ......

The old soul has long lost the heroic posture of a brave man who is full of vigor and regards evil as nothing, and at this moment, he is just a father who killed his son with his own hands and is about to lose his only daughter because of it.

"My Darien...... You know what this qiē you do means...... As a paladin, you ......

"No...... Father, in fact, I have long wanted to sue you......"

Facing her father's tearful old face, Darien suddenly bloomed into a girl's bright and beautiful smile in the last moments of her life.

"Although you have always shown that you love me so much, and even neglected your brother's existence for my sake, you actually ...... I haven't been able to accept your love because ...... I've seen you and my brother...... ...... in the bedroom"

Under the stunned gaze of everyone, Darien's figure suddenly dissipated into the air, and then quietly reappeared.

“…… You see, I'm better suited to be a stalker than a paladin......"

“……”

Well, at least for this moment, there was a plausible reason for how Darien had managed to infiltrate Naxxramas and recapture the Ember Bringer, and how she had assassinated Kel'thugad before.

As the saying goes, "Life is already so difficult, some things should not be debunked in person".

Gao He looked at the "Stalker Darien" who had lost his life, and the soul of the old Mograine, who seemed to have lost one of her lives in front of her limp body, and felt a lot of emotion in her heart.

The story of the Ember Bringer family is perhaps more like a real tragedy than the story of the ups and downs of old Fording and his daughter Tyranna.

Longing for his father's love and attention, but in the end because he can't get this qiē, the son of Renault, who is loved by his father, but is completely resistant to this love, the daughter Darien. For Mograini, the Ember Bringer, this was undoubtedly the biggest joke fate had ever played.

In fact, the reason why old Mograini loves his daughter so much is not because he has the same love as old Fordin, but simply because...... His love for his son Renaud fills his heart with guilt when facing Darien, and he can only make up for it with this.

If you insist on letting Gao He describe the mood at this moment. Then, I'm afraid all he can say is just four words-

Your circle is really messy.

Tirio, a legendary figure of the Five Great Paladins? Fording is a daughter through and through, which in itself is enough to refresh the lower limit in Gao He's mind, and now, when the soul of old Mograine finally bursts out with the power hidden in the depths of his daughter because of the death of his daughter...... What he is calling for is also the child who was killed by him with his own hands before, but in fact it is the child he really loves in his heart.

"Renault...... My child, I want to ...... I finally understand how you felt when you stabbed the Ember Messenger into my body.'"

Old Mograine's soul flew up, and endless dark power began to escape from his body. Infused into the Ember Bringer.

『……』

"It's time."

Tirio who has been watching this qiē? Fording spoke suddenly. Reminder Gao He.

"Go ahead, draw that sword, and ...... Fight. ”

“……”

That's really ...... It's a heavy responsibility.

Coming to Darien, who was smiling and her eyes were closed, Gao He hesitated for a moment. After all, I still reached out. Hold this fallen sword that is gradually gaining strength because of Darien's "blackening".

Unexpected. The moment he held the sword with his own hands and tried to slowly pull it out of the girl's chest, Gao He realized. It seems...... It was not the first time he had felt the power of this "blackening".

The power that originated from the deepest part of his soul and consciousness, but was always ready to move, made Gao He almost lose himself in it for a moment—no doubt, for the first time, he felt how beautiful it was to master such a powerful power.

This feeling reminded him of the strange energy emanating from the sword of the Brotherhood called "Ashkandi", which almost broke up at the very top of the Blackwing Lair.

There is no doubt that the fallen Ashbringer is now contained in this power, and it is even more powerful than the original sword of the Brotherhood.

It was also while completely pulling this sword away from Dalyan's chest that Gao He also clearly saw that the weapon he was holding that was about to dominate the fate of everyone was truly presenting its attributes-

Item description: The Sword of the Scarlet Crusader Leader - once called it, but now it's a true ...... Sword of the Fallen.

……

That's what it really is...... Diametrically opposed to the budding...... The power of blackening.

The moment he really grasped the sword, Takakazu seemed to hear the will infused in his body whispering to him.

This powerful and terrifying fallen sword of unknown quality, but apparently beyond the boundaries of legend, has now become the only straw for everyone.

However, I am afraid that only as his bearer. It is also Gao He, who has now inherited the name of "Ash Messenger", that he understands what a heavy burden he bears at this moment.

The power of this sword...... It's beyond the limits of what he's controlling.

With his current level and strength, he could easily control a legendary-level weapon like the "Fire Demon Hand", which almost perfectly carried the power of the Fire Demon King himself, but now, just holding such a weapon, he could clearly see that his health and mana were falling at an alarming speed.

"Quick! Even if it's in your body. Nor can it bear the power of this sword for long! ”

Tirio? Ferding had already noticed the crisis situation faced by Gao He for the first time.

"Use all the power in your body. Whether it's the power of the Light or the more powerful power of the Sprout - the Ember Bringer has never been a weapon of redemption and forgiveness, and in front of it, there is only one end to any evil, and that is to be completely reduced to ashes! ”

That's it...... Yes.

Feel the power that is constantly flowing through your body. Gao He's ears rang. It wasn't the haste reminder of old Fordin. It's a different ...... The voice echoed in his ears from the moment he held the sword.

"Kill them all......

"Kill the light...... 一qiē...... All ......

"Darkness and ...... Death ......

"The beauty of power...... The taste of blood......

『……』

That voice is now depraved...... The will of the former "Ember Bringer"?

It sounded soft, sweet and beautiful, but it was full of joy and hope. Urging her new master to launch a grand slaughter.

If it weren't for the fact that at the same time, another voice was calling anxiously in his ears, perhaps Gao He would have fallen with the Ash Messenger under the temptation of that infinite power.

"Stupid...... A sucker! Don't you still have that ...... Is there the power of a girl called Usha?'

When the panicked voice of the Holy Light reached Gao He's consciousness, the warm glow also kept his soul away from the abyss of depravity.

Indeed, when he first visited the tomb of Usha, Gao He had felt the brilliance of this legendary paladin, and obtained a part of the power that he passed on to those who came after him.

Later, when forging a new Moe Weapon, the radiant power from Usha helped him immensely...... Well, well, of course, the Light itself is indispensable.

And now, when the will of the Fallen Sword whispered in his ear, the only thing that could keep his consciousness awake and not lost was ...... And that's the only power.

That's from the name Usha? The Lightbringer is the purest power of light on the continent of Azerohi, although I don't know why Gao He is so favored and favored, but ......

When this battle is over, let's go to Remorse Hill to see her.

Gao He's heart suddenly popped up with such a thought.

Even if you are no longer in this world, you always feel ...... when you are alone on the shore of such a lonely lake. Even if you die, you'll be lonely.

The whispers from the Ember Bringer could no longer disturb Tachiwa's will, and the Ash Bringer's depraved aura was merging with the brightening light around him.

As happened when the Ember Messenger was forged, when darkness or light reaches its extreme, there is a wonderful transformation between the two.

The lives and souls of Alexandros, the previous Ember Bringer, his son Renault, and his daughter Dalyon, gave the sword an unprecedented meaning of depravity and darkness.

And now, when the light around Gao He's body, even the brilliance of the Chapel of the Holy Light's Wish, has been reduced to an endless dark place because of such a dark aura, Gao He has only done one thing-

Just like the original Ash Messenger, at this moment, with this fallen sword in his hand, he actually launched an attack on the Knights of the Black Blade without hesitation! …… (To be continued......)
