Chapter 241: The Return of Darkness (I)
The sun gradually recedes below the horizon, and the night follows.
As the sun went down, many dark clouds suddenly appeared in the sky, obscuring the moon, and it seemed that the city-state, which was already dark at night, became even darker, and even lost its fingers.
Gerst had never seen such a dark night, after all, when he was in the mountains, there was always a little light in the field around his home, and the sky was rarely covered with dark clouds at night.
The night that Loat spoke of had come, and it was time to begin that ritual.
Gerst slowly descended to the ground, pulled out the ghost abyss that had been inserted into the ground, and then took out the crystals that Royat had treated from the space magic weapon.
Gerst stared at the crystallization in his hand for a moment, as if thinking about something. But soon, he breathed a sigh of relief and threw the crystals up with all his might.
After all, Gust had come this far, and he couldn't turn back now, so he didn't need to care about anything anymore.
The crystals began to glow purple as they rose to the highest point, and Gerst hurriedly grabbed the ghost abyss in his hand and swung it towards the crystals above his head, and a cyan flame blade flew towards the crystals.
The moment the cyan flame blade shattered the crystal, a strong wave of qi erupted, blowing down all the surrounding houses, and the bricks and tiles on the ground also produced many tiny cracks due to the air wave.
Gust was a little unsteady by the wave, and he forced his eyes open to observe the changes in the crystal. He could see that after the crystals shattered, a powerful wave of energy was generated, and a purple ray shot straight into the sky.
This purple ray was so dazzling that even people at the far end of the Southern Continent could probably see the scene of this ray shooting into the sky.
Then, the sky began to "shatter", and more precisely, the barrier that wrapped the southern continent was pierced by this ray.
The pierced barrier took on its original form, a transparent light blue enchantment that resembled a hood. Because of the breach, the entire barrier began to crumble and quickly disintegrate.
Soon, this natural barrier, which had appeared when the Southern Continent was formed and had been "guarded" for many years, was shattered in an instant under this blow.
While this may seem sloppy, and the barrier is a bit fragile, Gerst is not surprised.
Nature itself is tenacious but fragile, and if it intervenes with enough force, even nature will not be able to withstand it.
"Mr. Roat, you should be watching, I've made the Southern Continent's barrier disappear, how can I see what I want to see?" Gerst stood there and said aloud. He knew that Royat must be nearby, and if this was part of Roat's plan, it was impossible for the other party not to witness this scene with his own eyes.
A minute passed, though, and Gust didn't get any response.
Just as Gerst began to suspect that Roart had left the place, a purple magic circle suddenly appeared in front of him.
The style of this magic array was something Gist had never seen before, and the mark engraved on it was very unfamiliar.
Gust could feel the strong aura from this magic array, so he took two steps back and stared at this magic array vigilantly. If his guess is correct, this is what Roat said, the portal that summons the "demon".
A moment later, a mirror-like portal rose from the magic circle.
A figure gradually appeared on the other side of the door, which made Gerst a little nervous and more excited.
Soon, the man appeared in front of Gust. A medium-length black hair, scarlet, strange eyes, a tall body, and a strange, disembodied left arm, and he was none other than Artevan.
Artevans slowly opened his eyes and looked around, smiling sullenly as he saw the blood and the twisted corpses lying on the ground through the night vision of the Magic Eye.
Then, Artevans set his gaze on Gerst, "Is that the human that Loat is talking about, are you it?" Well...... The energy in my body is something I have never seen before, it is somewhat difficult to describe, chaotic, eerie, and very powerful, but it is a little familiar. I probably know why Royat chose you.'"
"You're the legendary demon?" Gust didn't want to pay attention to Artfans's difficult words, he held up the ghost abyss, pointed at Artfans, and asked sharply.
The title "Demon" made Atfans look slightly surprised, "Demon? Is this what the humans of the Southern Continent call me? Or is this what the humans of the Southern Continent call the demons?"
Gerst felt that Artevans seemed a little less like the demon he had in his impression, and that Artevans was easier to communicate with than he thought the demon would be. In order to confirm whether Artevans was the demon that the people of the Southern Continent said he was, Gust told Atfans the legend, "In the legend of the Southern Continent, a hundred years ago, there was a great battle between angels and demons on the Northern Continent......
Listening to Gust's explanation, Artevans suddenly smiled.
"The humans of the Southern Continent are really interesting, yes, your so-called legends are what really happened, and I am the demon who fought with the angels in your mouth. However, please remember that the angels in your mouth are a race called the Divine Heirs, and the demons in your mouth are a race called the Demon Race. Both races are the most powerful races in this world, and they are not the same as the lower races of your humans.
With that, Artevans took a step towards Gust and continued, "You already know all this, so what do you want to do?"
"I see......," Gust smiled, breathing a sigh of relief as if he had fulfilled a wish.
But then, Gerst looked at Artevans with a look in his eyes full of battle intent and excitement, "In that case, come and fight me!"
After saying that, Gerst immediately started the "madness", and a strong wave of qi instantly erupted in his body.
Seeing Gust's appearance after his madness, and sensing Gust's energy intensity at this time, Artevans was a little surprised, he had never seen such a powerful power on any human, which made him also have an urge to fight Gust.
"Scout this neighborhood...... Atfans said to the dark shadow hiding behind him, then turned on the "dark magic pupil" and walked towards Gerst step by step.
"If you want to fight, then I'll do what you want!" With a wave of his hand, Artevans cast the "Ring of Annihilation" on Gust.
Feeling the chilling aura emanating from the "Ring of Annihilation", instead of feeling frightened, the expression on his face became more and more excited.
"Ahh That's it, that's the strong man I've always wanted to meet! Today, I can finally see it!' At this time, Gerst was a little hideous, he laughed wildly, and the momentum on his body became more powerful.
Looking at the approaching "Ring of Annihilation", Gerst walked up head-on, raised the ghost abyss and swung it violently, and then swung a flame blade to slash the "Ring of Annihilation" in an instant.
"Come on, fight! Hahahahaha!!!!!!
Gust seemed to be going berserk, even though he could feel the strength of the Atlance almost crushing him, but he still fearlessly rushed towards the Atlance.
At the same time, Gust's momentum has further improved, and his appearance has become less and less human.
(Is this what you're capable of?) However, you don't seem to know yourself yet...... )
Artevans had already guessed Gerst's abilities, and he had also guessed that Gerst probably didn't understand the true effects of his abilities.
In less than a second before Artevans could think, Gerst rushed in front of him and waved the ghost abyss in his hand at him.
(Roar of the soul?) No, this is a revenant? It turns out that the energy you have in your body is the power of the revenant, no wonder there is a familiar feeling. )
Artevans could hear the reverberant voice in his ears, and he knew what kind of power Gist possessed.
Then, he mobilized the dark energy in his body and condensed a long black knife to block Gust's blow.
Gerst didn't succeed in his blow, so he took a few steps back and shouted, "Listen to me!"
Immediately, many white phantoms flew out of the ghost abyss, forming a field. Thunder, ice, fire, hurricanes, everything appeared in the realm in an instant, unleashing a chaotic attack on Artfans.
Atfans dispersed his long black knife and, with a wave of his hand, unfurled a barrier to block all of these attacks.
And in the next second, Artevans felt a chill coming from behind him, and he immediately turned around and directly grabbed the slashed ghost abyss with the "Black Death Arm".
"What a powerful human being, Roat really didn't lie to me, the Southern Continent will definitely satisfy me." Artevans smiled, and then a cloud of black mist erupted, forcing Gust back.
"It's not over yet!" Gerst roared, gathering the power of the revenant soul into the abyss, condensing it into a twenty-meter-long energy blade, which was the move he used to kill the six-winged dark dragon.
Before Artfans could react, Gerst swung the Ghost Abyss and swept towards Atfans.
Sensing the danger coming from the side, Artevans was not nervous, a black ball appeared in his hand, and it was thrown in the direction of the blade very casually.
The sword blade condensed by the power of the revenant collided with the black ball and burst into strong energy fluctuations, and this instantaneous energy release destroyed most of the city-state's houses.
"So what?" Artevans looked ahead and whispered.
However, Artevans quickly frowned, as he felt that Gust was not only injured by this energy fluctuation, but even more powerful.
Looking at Gist who had broken through the black fog and was walking towards him step by step, Artevans sighed.
At this moment, Aruba's voice sounded in Atvance's head, "Lord Atvance, I've already scouted the surroundings, and this place is a good place to use as a stronghold."
"Yes...... Hearing Rusa's report, Artevans' expression became serious, "Well, it's time to end this fight."
