Sixty-four: The Shadow of the Lonely Mountain

Under the cold moon, there is a castle on the high mountain, on which eagles build their nests and eat the pigeons they catch, and the smell of blood wafts all the way to here.

The crusading party of young Bloods hides in the mountains, hiding from patrolling soldiers.

Anatoly asked, "Where have you been all along?" ”

Longinus replied: "Somewhere, it took me a while to remember who I was. ”

Anatoly said: "You are weak now. ”

Longinus laughed, "The Bloodline traits in me are disappearing, and besides, I'm learning magic. ”

Anatoly: "What did these young bloods promise you?" ”

"Nothing, why do you ask?"

Anatoly said, "You hate the Bloods as much as I do, and even if you are reborn, you must not be better. ”

"They didn't know I was the saint, and besides, it was a good opportunity," Longinus said. ”

Anatoly looked at the castle with a gloomy gaze and said, "Good opportunity? ”

Longinus said: "The Old Bloods think that the Young Bloods can only obey them, and therefore, their hiding place, the Young Bloods know. We have a chance to wipe out all those ancient bloods. ”

Anatoly: "When the young Bloods drink the blood of the Old Bloods, they will become just as difficult to deal with as the Old Bloods. ”

Longinus replied, "The news spreads that a civil war will break out between the blood clans throughout Europe, and it will be a catastrophe for the blood clans. ”

Anatoly nodded, focusing on the castle and asked, "Who is inside?" ”

"Larsen."

Anatoly took a deep breath and said, "Is that 'Larsen'?" ”

Longinus said, "The one and only Larsen. ”

A third-generation blood clan, the Flood Ancestors, fought head-on, and Anatoly was not sure that he could kill him, but it was a surprise attack.

Norangi has fourth-generation bloodline in her body, but she has not been dead for long and her power is limited, but even so, Larsenlu trusts Norangi and knows that there is a secret passage leading to the castle.

The secret passage was the sewer pipe, and they walked through the pipe and entered the castle through the secret door. At this point, Longinus noticed Anatoly's abnormality.

He asked, "Who are you talking to?" ”

Anatoly stopped talking to himself and said, "A madman. ”

"What kind of madman? Is it something you imagined or is it real? ”

"He said his name was Mokkawi and he was guiding me to the truth," Anatoly said. ”

Longinus took a breath and said, "Is that the mad god?" Can you really hear him? ”

Anatoly: "Yes. He didn't tell Longinus that he had relied on Mokkawi's wisdom in order to find Longinus' reincarnation. Now, it didn't turn out badly, and Mokawi brought him to Fort Wood, and sure enough, he saw the missing man.

Longinus said, "The mad god has been dead for years. ”

"He lives in the world of spirits."

Longinus warned: "Dealing with the mad god usually leads to destruction. He is worse than the devil. ”

Anatoly didn't intend to tell Longinus that he had promised that after his death, the madman would take his soul.

He handed the holy spear to Longinus: "You need this. ”

"No, I can't use it right now."

Anatoly said, "Take it." ”

The whole castle seemed to be caressed by the hands of darkness, and the shadows would move, swirling and deforming behind the corners of the eyes.

Norangi said, "Larsen... He made a pact with Belial. ”

Anatoly said, "Beleri? ”

Norangi said, "It's a demon or something." ”

Anatoly said, "I only know one Belial, the name is like an abyss, it is a mythical beast. ”

Norangi nodded, "It was a very early time when the power of Belle was transmitted to us through the blood of Larsen, but we are far from being compared to Larsenlu himself, as long as he wants, the entire night sky will become a part of the shadows, even the sun can obscure it."

Our only chance is not to start. He is asleep, in a state of suspended animation, and must be killed before he fully awakens. ”

Anatoly looked at the floating shadows and said, "Maybe he already knows." ”

Noranji: "These shadows can only detect people moving in the shadows, the real threat is the patrolmen, we need to be fast." ”

They were located very close to the castle's chambers, where Larsen himself was. It was difficult to sneak around in the castle of the Lord of Shadows, and soon they were discovered, and Anatoly burned the guards of Larsan to ashes in an instant with the power of fire.

Norangi shouted, "Quick! Rush in! ”

With Anatoly's extraordinary powers, they had reached the Chamber of Secrets in just five minutes, and in the cold shadows there was a coffin, and Longinus recited a spell to unravel the layers of defensive charms beside the coffin.

With a bang, the coffin board flew into the sky, and the shadows rushed towards everyone like a huge wave.

Norangi summoned several shadowy figures and shouted, "He's going to escape with the help of the shadows!" ”

The young Bloods each controlled a small patch of shadows, which acted as guards, detecting Larsen's escape route.

Longinus raised his spear and let out a loud shout, and the flames rose into the air, a strong light that dimmed the shadows. The Ancestor of Larsen roared, revealing his original form, his form was withered, and his demeanor was as if he was sleepwalking, this was indeed an opportunity.

Anatoly created a fire that burned towards Larssen like a giant fan. Larsen transformed the Shadows into hordes of beasts to fend off the flames, and as the two sides stalemate, the young Bloodclan drew their swords and slew at Larsen, whose eyes were bloodshot and summoned the Shadow Golems to fight.

They fought fiercely with the Larsens, and half of the young Bloods were consumed by the shadows, leaving them with no bones. With the spells of Longinus and Anatori, Larsen's shadow grew weaker and weaker.

Norangi encouraged the survivors: "He hasn't drunk blood for years!" The strength has weakened! Hold on and victory is at hand! ”

Suddenly, the walls of the castle cracked, and everyone fell unbalanced, and a large number of stones fell on top of everyone's heads.

Norangi let out an "ah" and said angrily: "Despicable fellow! ”

The crowd fell from the sky to the ground, shouting, "He is fleeing." ”

Norangi pressed her hands to the ground, the shadows rippling, and then she pointed to one place and said, "There it is!" ”

Larsen slowly emerged from the shadows, his expression vicious, his fangs furious. Norangi said, "That's right, scoundrel, I know you're hungry!" You are too old to suck the blood of the Vyans, and the blood of mortals is not much better for you than rat, and you can't find so much blood, so you fake your death and never wake up. ”

Larsen said in a deep voice, "Why did you betray me? ”

Norangi pointed his sword at Larsenlu and said, "Ten days ago, it was the day Lu Dejie died. You ordered Luau to betray his hideout and have the humans burn him, thus believing that you had cleared the Bloodclan plague of the area. And all this, you never gave my consent. ”

Larsen said, "I see, Lu Dejie is the son you made. You're too naΓ―ve to let go of these feelings. ”

Norangi: "I'm very sensible, because I see my future in Lu Dejie, if there's the next substitute for the dead, it's me, and I can only strike first." ”

Larsen said, "Stupid girl, you're challenging the god of darkness! ”

In an instant, darkness enveloped everything, making it difficult for everyone to see their surroundings clearly. All the blood clans screamed one after another, and the screams were cut off, and the bloody qi of the blood clan came straight to the nostrils. Norangi shouted in horror, "You can still use this trick? ”

Longinus said, "Come to me! "The tip of the spear shimmered with a white light, banishing the darkness a little. The few remaining betrayers gathered in this light.

Norangi: "We must escape, and if he does this, the whole territory will be plunged into darkness, and this darkness will suck blood, and our blood will be sucked dry." ”

Longinus was unable to make the Holy Lance produce more light, and the few rays of light that were soon engulfed by the Larsen Ray.

Anatoly was silent for a moment and said, "That's the only way." ”

Longinus asked, "What?" ”

Anatoly knelt at the edge of the aperture and sliced his chest with a sharp blade, blood pouring outward.

Longinus panicked and said, "Anatoly, what the hell are you doing?" ”

Hollow, Anatoly felt himself coming out of a huge void, a void like a whirlpool, drawing everything into it and pulling it down. Mokkawi's voice echoed through the hollow like a huge wagon running over Anatoly's body.

Painful, Anatoly felt like she was being broken down by a multitude of blades. His stab wounds were nothing compared to that.

The shadow of Larsen touched the blood, and suddenly, the blood burned, lighting up the boundaries of the shadows. A moment later, Larsen's howl resounded through the sky like a dying lion.

He shouted, "This blood.... Crazy blood! It's mad blood! My head... It's like burning! ”

Anatoly said, "I have long since dedicated myself to the mad god. ”

Frightened, Longinus burst out of the aperture and pounced on Anatoly, but Anatoly pushed him away.

He said, "The mad god doesn't need two sacrifices. ”

Longinus said, "Why? I warned you that listening to Mokkawi's voice would ruin you! ”

Anatoly gave his answer: "I live to this day only to put the holy spear in your hands with my own hands, saint. ”

"But you.... We don't have to die, we must have a way to escape the clutches of Larsen. ”

Anatoly: "Only you can understand my sins, as a Blood, I hate the blood in my body, and with it my existence. This pain can only be alleviated by constant hunting. I've killed too many innocents, just like you did many years ago. ”

Longinus said sadly: "But you are waiting for my rebirth, so you turned yourself into a blood clan. ”

Anatoly bowed his head and laughed at himself, laughing at his choiceβ€”his hatred of the Bloodlines that led him to meet Longinus, and the Bloodlines that he hated allowed Anatoly to live a life of integrity and sanctity. Now, he chose to end his own life only to save the reborn Bloodline.

He said, "Saints, we will see each other again." I'll be waiting for you on the web of madness. ”

The darkness of the sky turned into brilliant firelight, and in this dense web of firelight, Larsen's body turned into embers.

Anatoly is also in the web of madness.
