Chapter Twenty-Four: The Source of Darkness, Byrrens
"Since you have the key, hurry up and open it, the source of darkness you want to find is in it, quack quack!"
At this time, the lich Buston looked at Roland with a strange expression, as if he had said a few words unintentionally, which made the atmosphere of the scene even more tense.
What should come will always come, don't dodge, face it!
Roland gritted his teeth, suddenly twisted the key in his hand, and with a click, the turned key activated a mechanism, and with a bang, the wall in front of him began to shake slightly.
After the wall shook for more than ten seconds, the bricks began to sink in, as if someone had pulled the bricks out of it, leaving only a black hole.
In a few moments, as the bricks on the wall disappeared, an arch two people wide immediately appeared on the wall,
But the scene inside made Roland feel a little surprised, he thought it was a passage to a certain place, but what appeared in front of him was a dead end that could only accommodate about ten people.
Suddenly, he looked intently, and saw that there was only a dilapidated sarcophagus in this cul-de-sac, and there was nothing around the sarcophagus.
However, Roland found that there were a large number of mysterious patterns carved on the ground of the cul-de-sac, and these patterns were still drawn with Mithril, and even the erosion of time could not leave any traces on them.
Maybe...... These veins are about the person in the coffin, but what about the source of darkness? Didn't Busthorn say it was right here?
"None? Or is it inside that sarcophagus? ”
Roland looked at Yiqiē in front of him, and couldn't help but hesitate to go over and take a look.
But the scene of a monster jumping out of the coffin is often seen in movies, which makes Roland can't help but have some heart palpitations.
At the moment of his hesitation, there was a sudden exhalation, and the candle in the corner of the church was suddenly lit, and the light of the flame turned out to be a strange miserable green.
"Hahaha, I can't imagine that someone has opened this door, the person who failed to release me before, and now I'm finally free, let those hypocrites die!"
I saw a ball of green flames rise from the sarcophagus, and rampant laughter continued to come from it.
"In order to thank the little guy who released me, I have decided that I will fulfill your three wishes!"
At this moment, the spherical object that was constantly emitting green flames immediately condensed a hazy human face and said to Roland fiercely.
"Byerence ............"
"Yes, I am the omnipotent Barrens, come here, I can fulfill your three wishes, whether you want to be a king or have the most beautiful woman in the world, I can fulfill it for you!"
The green flame kept beating, and as the high tone sounded, the miserable green flame instantly covered the entire dead end.
The lich on the side, Bustolton, just stared at Yiqiē in front of him with a strange smile on his face, neither giving Roland any hint nor making a sound to stop it.
Roland, on the other hand, didn't walk in stupidly, and kept thinking about the name in his head, because he always felt that the name was somewhat familiar, as if he had heard it in the game.
"Barrens? I think I've heard it somewhere...... Oh, come to mind, damn it, it's that bastard! ”
Suddenly, Roland slapped his palms as he remembered the information of the owner of the name, Barrens.
Barrens is a notorious devil in Hell who has deceived many human souls and later advanced to the Demon King for some reason.
As for one of Roland's missions in his previous life, it was to kill this demon, so he felt that the name was very familiar.
"No, I'm not going to make a deal with the devil, Barrens!"
A smile crossed Roland's lips as he said to the green flames floating in the air.
Who would believe such a demon's nonsense, trading with the Lich Bsoton is the best example of the opposite, Roland is deeply touched by this.
But as soon as he finished speaking, an information panel appeared in front of him again.

"Damn, when did I make my choice?"
Roland was simply puzzled by the sudden change in his mission, when he had rejected one of the options.
Roland was shocked to think, could it be the three wishes that Byerence had just mentioned?
"You'll regret your choice, and in that case, I'll send all of you to hell."
Suddenly, Byerrens, who was floating in the air, shouted.
With a snort, the miserable green flames of all the candles suddenly rose up, illuminating the entire church, and endless darkness had begun to spread in this church, engulfing the surrounding walls in an instant.
Only a small area of the church is left near the statue of the goddess, as if it were an island in the middle of the sea.
But it didn't seem to end there, I saw a sudden flash of green light in this untouched area, and a bunch of people suddenly appeared.
Among them were Erin and Betis, who had been standing outside the church door, as well as Knight Randall, Captain Carter, a Templar priest, and a bunch of paladin-armoured men.
"Mr. Roland...... How did I end up here? Erin said, glancing around.
She was surprised by the change in front of her, and there was a hint of horror in her voice.
As for the others, they were very puzzled as to why they were here, and they only felt a flash of light in front of them, and the next second they appeared in this dimly lit place.
But what's going on, and why did Byrrens bring all these people to this place?
The uneasiness in Roland's heart grew stronger, as if something was about to happen.
"Welcome to my game, I'm the all-powerful Byrons, I have a message for everyone, if you want to leave this place, you must first kill everyone except you, and only then can you get out of here."
Barrens' voice came from the darkness of nothingness, making it impossible to determine where his location was.
"Of course...... It's time-limited, and if no one dies every once in a while, I'll let one of them try the taste of death first, so good luck with that! ”
Suddenly, a tentacle sprang out of the darkness, and with a swipe, it was tightly tied to one of the paladins.
Before the paladin could make a sound, it was as if there was a hand in the darkness, and with a sudden tug, he was carried into the darkness by the tentacle and disappeared.
Suddenly, everyone looked at the direction in which the paladin had disappeared, and a wave of fear surged in their hearts, fearing that the next person to be pulled into the darkness would be themselves.
"Hey rookie, we're meeting again."
Just when everyone was in shock, a familiar voice sounded in Roland's ears, and when he turned his head, he found that Randall Knight had come to his side.
"Hi Randall......"
"Rookie, don't talk yet, I'm sorry for this, I was going to take them around the forest, but I didn't expect to be here in a blink of an eye, and the Norman priest is looking for you...... You'd better be careful. ”
He was about to speak, but Knight Randall stopped him from talking with a look in his eyes, and whispered in his ear.
"Well, I will, thank you, Mr. Randall."
Unexpectedly, the disaster is not alone, and before the guy Barrens can be solved, the fellows of the temple find him.
At this time, everyone in the area that was not engulfed by darkness was divided into three parts, Roland stayed with Randall Knight and the Lich Bsoton, Captain Carter and they protected Erin and them, and finally the team from the Denel Sanctuary was left.
"What exactly is their purpose?"
Roland looked in the direction of the Denel Sanctuary and saw that the old priest's gaze had been on him as well.
Suddenly, he was shocked, could it be that the old priest had discovered something, this was not good news.
