Chapter 475: Lord of Shadows: Claudia
Zobeek: "We have to act quickly and secretly. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info can't let the Shadow Lords suspect that we're looking for them, or they'll turn all their attention to us. β
Gabriel: "Then we have to take a different route. I'm going to the realm of the savage werewolves, and you set out to go to the realm of the vampires and prepare the way... Then let's go to the wizard together... His field is the farthest. Our enemies must not be allowed to arouse any suspicion. β
Zobeck handed Gabriel a jewel belt: "Take this, it will help you absorb the energy of the mind, and it will also help you heal your wounds." Good luck, my friend, we will surely emerge victorious. β
Gabriel: "Thank you, brother. You've restored hope to me. β
The scene switches, Gabriel and Tang Tu appear on the cliff above the waterfall, and Zobek is gone.
Tang Tu had not persuaded Gabriel before. Gabriel, on the other hand, trusted Zobeck more. Tang Tu didn't plan to stir up a wedge between Gabriel and Zobek for the time being, because he knew that the result of doing so would only be detrimental to himself.
What Tang Tu has to do now is to follow Gabriel, gain his trust step by step, and then convince him.
Gabriel: "You don't have to follow me. β
Tang Tu: "No, I want to follow you, the Guardian of the Lake asked me to help you." Although my combat power is not very strong, please believe that I will never betray you. β
Gabriel: "Alright then, I hope you can keep up with me, I don't want to be dragged down." β
Tang Tu followed Gabriel down the cliff to the bottom of the waterfall and continued to walk.
This part of the journey has a bit of an adventure, and Tang Tu can use the identity of an assassin, and these actions can be easily completed.
Occasionally, werewolf monsters appeared on the way, and since Tang Tu didn't have a sacred weapon, it was a bit difficult to kill these monsters, but he could use a long sword to protect himself, and let Gabriel kill the monsters. The cross sword blessed with holy light can kill a werewolf in an instant.
The two men entered a huge wooden stake and encountered a poisonous spider inside. Tang Tu activated a machine gun, and although the lethality was still small, the impact of the machine gun could adjust the position of the poisonous spider and assist Gabriel in taking out it.
Since Gabriel was a melee fighter, he was poisoned by a poisonous spider. Tang Tu was a little worried at first, but later found that Gabriel had just pushed through like this. He is worthy of being the most powerful warrior of mankind.
In the nest of the poisonous spider, Tang Tu followed Gabriel on the spider silk. Here, spider silk is the bridge. It feels a bit like a pontoon bridge, a little less stable, but still very strong, much stronger than a wooden bridge that can break at any time.
Passing through the spider's lair is Goblin City. Very ugly goblins, and their strength is not good, but there are very many of them. After killing a large number of goblins, a Persian boar was spawned.
Out of here is another stone town, a bit like some ruin. Here again, it was necessary to climb up and down, and Tang Tu turned on the assassin skill and followed closely behind Gabriel.
Gabriel finds a trap, and when it opens, several werewolves appear. Then Tang Tu continued to operate the mechanism, and Gabriel killed the werewolf next to him. The two worked together to open another stone door.
Then the two of them went to a certain altar, where Gabriel killed a giant werewolf and then operated the mechanism. It seemed that the mechanism was broken, and the entire altar suddenly collapsed, and Tang Tu and Gabriel fell below.
Tang Tu and Gabriel were neither dead nor wounded. A spider soon appeared next to it, killed by Gabriel. Then the two climbed between the cliffs and finally returned to the top.
On the top of the mountain, a girl is fighting the werewolves, holding a magic stone in her hand, summoning a monster to kill the werewolf.
The girl didn't say anything, just glanced at Tang Tu, then glanced at Gabriel, and then jumped away.
Gabriel: "Wait a minute..."
The girl didn't wait, and her agile figure disappeared among the rocks.
Tang Tu followed Gabriel on. After a great circle, they came to an entrance and saw the girl again.
The girl waited for them here, and when she saw them, she ran again, and she ran into the entrance, which seemed to be a cave.
A group of goblins blocked Gabriel and Tang Tu's path, but they couldn't stop Gabriel at all. The two men walked through the passage and came to the depths.
A giant warrior in armor appeared, and Tang Tu couldn't tell what race he was. But when he raised his weapon to Gabriel, the girl appeared to stop him.
Girl: "Stop. β
The warrior lowered his hand.
The girl looked at Gabriel: "Don't you see the energy in those crystals?" These crystals are really very useful in war. You can find crystal fragments everywhere, and I often go for them. β
Gabriel looked at the girl suspiciously, "How could I hear your voice... Your..."
Girl: "... Didn't I move my lips? I have this talent, and I can also read minds. β
Gabriel: "Who are you?" β
Girl: "My name is Claudia, and he is my protector. "He" refers to the armored samurai behind Claudia.
Claudia continued: "He took care of me. In return I caught the evil spirits so he could absorb their energy. Without this, he would have stopped moving. But... It's a little different for you. You look good, so we won't kill you! β
Gabriel: "I'm relieved to hear that. β
Claudia raised her hand to stroke Gabriel's head, but Gabriel dodged her.
Claudia: "Don't be afraid, let me see what you're thinking." β
Gabriel put his head over, and Claudia's hand rested on his... Then, Claudia covered her head and yelled "no".
Gabriel: "What's that?" What's wrong? β
Claudia looked up: "You killed the Shadow Lords here and took their energy. It means that you saved all of us... And bring back a person you love. β
Claudia sat on the shoulder of the armored samurai: "I'm afraid I can't... We're going to be with you, and you can't get it alone. β
Tang Tu squinted at Claudia. He didn't know if this Claudia was good or bad, he had told the same prophecy as Zobek, and he didn't seem to have malicious intentions, but it was all a faΓ§ade.
Gabriel: "No, Claudia, I'll have to do it myself." β
Claudia: "I know the way, and you don't. You need me, and you need him. β
Gabriel smiled wryly: "Okay. β
The scene switches, Claudia sits on the shoulders of the armored samurai and leads the group forward.
Claudia: "Thousands of years ago, the city was full of life. It is a magical refuge, wisdom and harmony. The people here created the hedron you just saw. They do not need the protection of the army, their energy is enough to thwart any threat.
It's always been like this... Until the appearance of werewolves. The balance is broken, trolls, goblins, elves... The creator of the nightmare constantly harasses the city, day or night. A lot of people fled... Others used their remaining abilities to create a giant Titan-titan-tin to fight the invaders.
This battle lasted for several worlds until all the gems were exhausted and no one escaped. Those who did not die in battle, were captured and destroyed.
My father was one of the last people left, and he hid me. He created the Black Knight as my protector, and we've been running away from that time until now.
This titan outlived his creator, staying here to fight against armies outnumbering them until they were defeated, except for one... The last Titans are waiting behind the door..."
Claudia pointed to the stone door in front of her and said, "It's right behind there." The only way to reach the Dark Lord is through the door. If we want to continue our journey, we're going to have to fight the Titans.
This door can only be opened with the power of the hedron and you need to find four pieces to make up a complete crystal. We'll be waiting for you here until you find them. β
The people waiting here are Claudia and the armored warriors, and Tang Tu is going to work with Gabriel to find the crystal. This crystal is the one Claudia used before.
Tang Tu opened his eagle eye to see the location of those crystals, but there were werewolves in ambush next to those crystals, and these werewolves were handed over to Gabriel to deal with.
The four crystals were quickly assembled. Then he went back to Claudia and put the crystal on the door, and the stone door opened. When the door opened, Claudia took the crystal down, saying that it might be needed later.
Passing through the stone gate, the group continued to move forward.
Not far ahead, a huge stone demon has awakened, and he is the titan god that Claudia said.
It's really huge, it feels like it's dozens of stories high. Now, Gabriel must defeat this titan in order for them to move on.
Due to his large body, the Titans were slow to move. Gabriel took the opportunity to climb on top of him and knock him unconscious, then destroyed the jewels on his joints so that he could not move.
Tang Tu's only role is to cause trouble underneath in order to attract the Titan's attention and thus assist Gabriel in his actions.
After destroying the gem on top of the Titan's head, his body was torn apart.
Claudia: "The last giant is gone, and he's the last." β
Gabriel: "Can we move on?" β
Claudia: "Night is falling... We should take a break. I know a good place. β
Scene switching. On an altar, Claudia seemed to be sleeping, with armored warriors guarding him. Gabriel also seemed to fall asleep leaning against the tree.
Tang Tu sat by the campfire, holding his knees and pretending to be asleep...
Gabriel, not knowing whether to sleepwalk or wake up, walked over to the altar and gently stroked Claudia's cheek.
Claudia also woke up, and she also sat up and stroked Gabriel's face: "I knew it the first time I touched your face. I have seen my destiny and I am ready. β
Gabriel suddenly raised his dagger and stabbed Claudia, and just then, Gabriel woke up.
It turned out that the scene just now was just a dream, Gabriel had a dream just now, and his dream became an illusion.
The guardian of the lake suddenly appeared: "Gabriel, don't be swallowed up by darkness. You have to remove the knight's gauntlets. When you need it badly, the gauntlets will be key. β
Gabriel: "No. Even without it, I'll continue. I won't hurt them. β
Guardian of the Lake: "I'm afraid it's too late..."
The Guardian of the Lake points to the altar.
I saw that on the altar, Claudia had a dagger in her chest, wasn't the scene just now Gabriel's dream?
Gabriel knelt down: "No... No... Nope..."
At this time, the armored warrior woke up, saw Claudia's corpse, and fought Gabriel.
Tang Tu woke up from pretending to be asleep and looked at Gabriel's figure with a frown.
Tang Tu is also confused now, was Gabriel killed Claudia just now? What does Claudia mean when she says she's ready? What is the Knight's Gauntlet that the Guardian of the Lake is talking about? Isn't it a problem with the belt given by Zobbek?
The armored warrior was indeed no match for Gabriel, Gabriel broke up his armor, his body collapsed, and a cloud of black gas came out of his body, and this black gas rushed towards Gabriel and melted into his gauntlets.
Red flames and black qi enveloped Gabriel's left gauntlet, and after Gabriel's struggle, the appearance of his left gauntlet changed. Red and gold patterns appeared on the gauntlets, and the fingertips elongated into the shape of sharp claws.
Gabriel clutched his trembling left arm and gasped...
When it was dawn, Tang Tu helped Gabriel make a tomb for Claudia and then continued on his journey. Tang Tu followed Gabriel to the capital of the barbarian werewolves, and Gabriel killed the werewolf leader.
A group of elves appeared, they gave Gabriel an object, and then opened a door.
The world behind the door seems to be the land of elves, and it is very beautiful. But it was also taken over by werewolves. Gabriel killed the werewolf and rescued the elves. In this process, Tang Tu won Gabriel's favor based on the principle of saying less and doing more.
The elves opened another door for Gabriel.
Behind the door was an altar, where a strange-looking guy was standing, and Tang Tu couldn't tell if he was a werewolf or not.
Gabriel: "I'm here to fulfill the prophecy." β
Stranger: "My assistant is not lying, a warrior from the Brotherhood, set foot in the land of werewolves. Warrior! I'm curious, do you know where you are now, and who am I? β
Gabriel: "I stand on this polluted land. And you, including your people, are not worthy to live in this world. β
The weirdo laughed: "Ahahaha... You say you're here to fulfill the prophecy? β
Gabriel: "You and the other Shadow Lords are guarding the power of your temple, and I have come to retrieve it." β
Stranger: "You're alone?" How dare you enter the central temple and tell me about these mortal trivia? Tiny human beings, I am immortal, and I already know your poor prophecy, and you know nothing... Ignorant of their true situation. β
