Chapter 36: The Sea of Blood

At this time, Roland and Elukado were walking on the water.

To be precise, they walked on the vast sea south of Titan, stepping on the bright red ice road that slowly emerged from the sea, all the way north.

The surface of the sea, which looks like it is soaked in a sinking sunset, is called the sea of wandering.

Thousands of years ago, two-thirds of the sea was land, and there was a thriving civilization.

High Elves, Elves, Dragonmen - because this is far from the Northern Wilderness, there will be no dangerous and aggressive races such as frost ghosts, ice giants, and ice dragons, and many relatively peace-loving and powerful enough races will choose to establish a nation in the south.

At the same time, because the south is close to the elemental plane, it is convenient for the profession of the envoy element to communicate with the elemental plane. At that time, there were also a number of warriors in Faens who could wield the power of the elements, such as the Fist of Fire and the Wind Blaster, as well as the Elemental Messengers who were similar to sacrifices, which served the Elemental Lord like a priest in exchange for power, but did not require prayers, rituals, materials, and a limited number of spells per day, and naturally refilled the number of abilities per day. As well as classes such as Dragonman Striker and Dragon Worshipper, which can only be employed by the dragon race, and Pure White Dancer and Singyue Shaman, who can only be employed by the High Elves.

But without exception, these professions were buried with their civilization and country, and sank into the sea forever.

When the elemental plane collapsed due to the suicide of elemental life, these countries that abused the elemental power too much were also affected and impacted by the collapse of the plane because they were too closely connected to the elemental plane. Most of them were directly detonated, and all the technologies that relied on the power of the elemental power to power and circulate were all ineffective, and the followers of the Fire Elemental Lord survived a considerable number, but more than eighty percent of these survivors became demon followers, one of the most primitive cultists.

Facing the collapse of the world. There is no point in being mortal level powerful. The continent, which was far more developed and prosperous and powerful than the northern country, was swallowed up by the abyss and sank to the bottom of the sea without resistance.

It's like a human being preyed upon by sharks. As these continents were dragged into the abyss, the sea, which was originally as beautiful as a blue jewel, also leached with a dark red liquid, dyeing the surface of the sea from south to north a terrifying blood-red.

Although the so-called "Blood of Gaia" phenomenon is mentioned in the Tureth of Dyed's lineage, it is only now that Roland finally understands that this is only because this space partially overlaps with the dark red abyss, but the color of the abyss is projected onto the surface of the sea.

The original fire elemental plane was just a round cake spread out of Faennes, and now the abyss is a slightly thicker spindle-shaped plane. The tip of one of its ends was embedded like a nail in the southernmost part of the world of Faense, piercing through the entire underworld, protruding from the surface of the sea and opening an invisible jaw that pierced through the heavens and the earth. This part of the abyss above the sea dyed the sky a permanent sunset red, and soaked the surface of the sea as if it were soaked in blood.

Because of this, Roland and Elukado went all the way north from the abyss, and finally did not enter the underworld, but directly entered the wandering sea at the end.

This made Roland wary.

The greatest use of the Underworld is to act as a buffer when the walls of Gaia break, so that the power of dusk does not leak directly into the earth and pollute and destroy the walls of Aum, but has a time to slowly imprenuate the earth, allowing the Sage to repair the walls of Gaia in time.

But now the situation is different.

The elemental plane was transformed into a strange shape by the fire demon. He pointed one end of the abyss to the outside of Faenns, and the other through the underworld to the surface. As the southern abyss engulfed the sea grew larger and larger, the moment it came into contact with Titan, it meant that the demon could teleport directly from the abyss to Titan without any delay or delay.

You know, the northern kingdoms are now the last continent of Faense. Nearly all countries share land borders, and as long as demons can set foot in Titan, it means they can set foot in other countries.

That would be a catastrophe. This is also the story of the original Lost Christmas.

The cultists summoned their god, the Lost Sage, Higgs, to earth, and Higgs opened a path to the abyss in Faens in the center of the continent, and demons with terrible flames poured out of the destroyed world, destroying everything they saw with hatred and jealousy.

At that time, the rivers dried up and the trees and grass withered. The earth cracked a terrible opening, and the power of dusk leaking out of the abyss polluted the walls of Aum, and the sun and moon crumbled, and the wind and rain were out of balance.

Even as the Raven, the Lawr, and the Radiant Hand forced the demonic army to be confined to the vicinity of Karar, there were still scattered demons who escaped the encirclement through earthdoers or illusions.

Even the lowest-level demon worshippers are silver-ranked, and there are no demons below the gold-level. Although demons do not have flexible origins like humans, and their origins are based on race, that does not prevent them from slaughtering civilians and destroying towns.

For a small town or village, without the help of a strong enough player, they can easily be razed to the ground and burned to the ground. And after the powerful front-line players have almost all set foot on the front line, the rear has become extremely empty.

While enchantment wizards have the flexibility to teleport in groups, when they react to a demonic raid, it often means that the town or village is no longer saved.

At that time, the new White Pagoda had only been rebuilt for two years, and because of the history of the gods, the saints were not generally believed and recognized. In parallel with the lack of leaders with sufficient prestige, two wars broke out after that.

Otherwise, the main force in that battle would not have been the player. At that time, the general level of players was far less high than during the Dusk Invasion, the average was nothing more than a silver and gold line, and the second group of players had to form a squad of five or six people to ensure that they could kill the lone demon without attrition.

And now, it's not just Roland who has united the people of the world in faith, preventing Queen Banza from going crazy that caused the war, but also ending the catastrophe that three million players have worked together to survive.

Roland has no shortage of prestige. There was no need for him to watch countless people die in wars that he could have prevented, and then save the world by himself in exchange for people's admiration.

Rather than such a hypocritical and weak choice, Roland would rather choose to defeat the enemy by himself. Strangling the source of disaster in the cradle.

That was not Roland's personal heroism, but his duty and responsibility as a leader, as an idol and a believer.

Speaking of responsibility......

Looking at the land gradually emerging in the distance, Roland's pupils gradually narrowed.

"This isn't Titan? It's—"

Elukado's voice grew high, his eyes glowing with excitement, but he was a little uncertain.

"Don't doubt yourself, Elukado. This is indeed not Titan. ”

Roland said in a deep voice, "This is Elcat. ”

"—El Carter, the land of the silver!" (To be continued.) )
