Along the way, walk carefully.

But luckily, there were no troubles along the way.

Everything here is not much different from the last time I visited, except for some corridors and corners of the rooms with some tools left behind by the renovation workers when they escaped, the old castle is still so quiet and silent. If anything, the cold feeling of this castle at night is deeper than death when the sunlight outside has completely sunk into the side of the Eternal Sleep Mountains......

Cautiously, but without incident, the group soon reached the top floor of the castle, where they stood in front of the stone gate.

"Uncle Holy Cake, how are you feeling?"

Looking at this very familiar, but somewhat unfamiliar door, Arrow asked softly.

The Holy Cake turned his head to look at Coco next to him, and said, "If there really is a ghost in this, then the affinity of the magic of death should be the most familiar." So Coco, what do you feel? ”

Coco nodded, cautiously walked to the door, stretched out his steel staff against the stone door, and silently sensed.

After a moment, she withdrew her staff, but there was a slight doubt and confusion between her eyebrows.

"What's wrong?" Arrow asked.

Coco looked very hesitant, and after struggling for a while, he spoke: "Brother President, I do feel that there is some power of death in it. But...... It always felt like this power was very chaotic, as if there were other strange things mixed in besides death...... I'm sorry, I'm too weak, if I can be stronger......"

Holy Cake smiled and said comfortingly, "It's nothing, it's already remarkable to be able to detect magic other than death." So, everyone, open the door now, get ready, absolutely, absolutely, don't rush ahead of me, all stand behind me. ”

After the instructions were completed, everyone got ready, assumed a battle position, and surrounded Arrow in the center, and everyone stood behind the holy bread, fully guarded.

When everyone was ready, the Holy Cake took a deep breath, slammed the staff of light in his hand to the ground, stretched out his hand, and pushed open the two stone gates.

Whoop -

A winter has passed, but the room is still as bright as new, as if not a single trace of dust has ever been there.

The Holy Cake glanced warily at the opulence of the room, then stepped inside. The people behind tried to follow, but the Holy Cake reached out to stop them, telling them not to follow.

It was as he slowly walked to the center of the room......

Bang Dang——!

The stone door that had just been opened suddenly closed suddenly! Even before the mermaid song outside had time to react, it was like a cast of iron, and it couldn't be pushed away any longer.

Outside the door, everyone kept banging on the stone door and shouting loudly, and Brad and Cream even began to bang the door under Arrow's command.

But inside the door, the Holy Cake only glanced faintly at the closed stone door, and then turned his gaze to the fireplace.

With a bang, the flames in the fireplace suddenly rose.

The candlesticks placed around the room also began to light one by one, one by one, as if they had been summoned by some kind of summoning. The flames gradually lit up, flickering with light that made even the balls of light of the Holy Bread seem a little redundant.

"Well, it looks like the problem is really serious."

The Holy Bread walked slowly around the room, checking in everything that was there. But just as he looked at the clean bed......

"Uncle, can you take me to Daddy? I want to find my dad. ”

Hearing this childish voice, the holy bread sighed slowly. The staff of light in his hand gradually emitted a gentle but untainted light, and he slowly turned around to look at the little girl who was now standing in front of him.

The pastor frowned a little heartbrokenly: "Little sister, you just need to find your father?" What about your mother? Don't you want to look for her? ”

With a bright smile on her face, the little girl in gorgeous costumes shook her head violently and said, "Don't look for it, because my mother is her...... Right behind you. ”

At the moment when the little girl's words fell, the holy bread suddenly felt a soft, long thing on his shoulder. Looking down slightly, he saw five dry and long, almost exaggerated fingers, slowly spreading from his shoulders all the way to his neck. As the dry fingers swiped, a little ash began to emanate from his shoulders, and some of the fabric even raised sparks.

"yes...... Behind me. ”

As the fingers slowly pressed against the Holy Bread's neck, the burning sensation began to sting the skin, but the Holy Cake still had a kind and compassionate smile on his face, and raised the staff of light in his hand and slammed it to the ground.

In an instant, a huge circle of light centered on the holy bread instantly unfolded! At the moment of unfolding, the room that had just looked gorgeous was instantly engulfed by an extremely strong flame! This flame also enveloped the holy bread in an instant, scorching his clothes, hair, and skin. Get those most painful stimuli into this pastor's head!

"Poor people, you who are trapped here have nowhere to go but to repeat this horrible hell endlessly."

As the Holy Bread spoke, the flames unceremoniously invaded his mouth, running down his throat and burning into his entrails. It didn't take long for the clothes on the Holy Cake to be burned to ashes, and flames began to erupt from his skin, and a hole in his stomach was burned by the flames, revealing the violently burning internal organs inside.

"But today, the God of Light will accept your souls. You can lift this burden and go back to where you ought to be. ”

As the incantation was recited, the lips of the Holy Bread were burned by the flames, and the muscles and internal organs of his body were burned away by the flames, turning them into a terrifying skeleton.

But in the hands of this skeleton, the staff of light still radiated the purest and most unsullied light. The skeleton's mouth opened and closed, chanting incantations incantationally, and as the incantation gradually perfected, the light circle under his feet began to emit a soft light, suppressing the chaotic light of the flame in one gulp.

"Blood Relatives Ming Seal Spell, up!"

Raise your staff and land again.

With the sound of droplets falling onto the water, a violent light burst through the room!

Swept by this light, the little girl in front of her suddenly turned into a terrifying ghost, let out a scream almost enough to pierce her eardrums, faded into her human form, and began to rampage through the room, and finally slammed into the portrait on the fireplace.

And the thing behind him also let out a terrible scream after being swept away by the light, and the hand that was stuck in the neck of the holy cake was also burned into ashes at this moment, and the burning sensation on the skin of the holy cake disappeared instantly.

Everywhere the light went, the burning flames quickly disappeared as if they didn't exist at all. In just a second, the blazing room was quiet again.

Outside the door –

"Come on! One, two, three! ”

With a bang, Brad and Cream lunged at once, but they didn't expect that this time the two stone doors would be smashed open with great ease, as if they had not been locked at all. No, it wasn't just the crash open, but the two stone doors rumbled and fell straight into the room.

"My stone gate! Oh my gates! Do you know how ancient these two stone gates are?! If it breaks, how are you going to stay with me?! ”

Arrow didn't even pay attention to the shouting of Viscount Ruichi behind him, and immediately rushed into the room first.

But the moment he entered, he was stunned by everything in front of him.

Because, a room that had been very palatial and clean a few minutes ago, now looked dilapidated, and the whole room was covered with charred black. Some kind of pitch-black I don't know if it's soot or something else painted the entire floor, and people stepped on it as if they were stepping on something wet and soft.

In the middle of the room, the priest exhaled slowly, looked away, and gave a gentle smile when he saw Arrow rushing in.

"Uncle Sacred Cake?! Over here...... Are you alright?! ”

When Viscount Ruichi in the back saw the room so dilapidated, he couldn't help but hug his head and shout: "My room! What about the room that was still beautiful just now? How so! ”

However, the Holy Cake did not pay any attention to the viscount who was roaring and lamenting in the room, but slowly walked to the fireplace, which was already half missing, covered with dust and dirt of unknown reason, and raised his head to look at the portrait that had already fallen off the frame of the picture under the erosion of time.

In the portrait, a family of three is still the same. The father's face was still blurred, but the faces of the mother and daughter were no longer those of melted candles, but of two dead heads charred into black charcoal. It was indescribably strange that the two heads with their hair scorched, their skin blackened, their eyes burned out, their lips burned out, and their soot-blackened teeth underneath were mounted on top of those two suave-looking bodies.

"Time, after all, is still too long."

Holy Cake sighed a little helplessly, turned around, and smiled at Arrow.

Arrow was a little nervous, he glanced at the terrible portrait again, and said, "Uncle Holy Cake, what the hell is this...... What is the meaning? The ghosts here ......"
