"It's a shame that I didn't get to see the last of my companions." Artevans turned his head and looked at Thorin, who was still on his knees with a sluggish expression, with a mocking expression.

Then, he looked at Rusha again, "It's rare that you would make such a request to me for a human."

"It's just ......" Rusha stopped as soon as she opened her mouth to say a few words, and finally sighed and continued, "No, it's nothing, if what I just said makes you unhappy, I'm willing to bear any consequences."

Seeing the inconspicuous change in Erusa's expression when she wanted to say what was in her heart but didn't dare to say it, Artevans smiled slightly, "Since you don't want to say the reason, I won't force you, anyway, Payant is dead, and the result I want has been achieved."

As he spoke, Artevans glanced at the adventurers who had not yet fully recovered from the mental power fluctuations that Rusha had emitted earlier, and walked over.

When he walked in front of these adventurers, Artevans showed a contemptuous look, slowly raised his left hand, opened his palm, and unfolded a purple magic array at the feet of these adventurers. There was a black ring suspended on the magic circle, just about the size of the magic circle.

"At the moment when I make a move, take back your mental power." Atfans raised his voice a little and spoke to Rusha, who was standing behind him, before slowly clenching his left hand into a fist.

At the moment when Artevans clenched his fists, Rusha snapped her fingers slightly, retracting the mental power that had been interfering with those adventurers.

The adventurers immediately returned to normal, and they all raised their heads and looked around, trying to know what was happening, but less than a second later, purgatory was facing them.

The black ring suspended on the purple magic circle began to contract, and when it touched the adventurers standing on the periphery of the magic circle, the expressions of those people suddenly became painful and distorted, and they let out heart-rending screams.

And the screams didn't last long, as they turned into a pile of white bones as the black rings continued to contract and pass over their bodies.

Seeing their companion die, the adventurers standing near the center of the magic circle were terrified, and they immediately attacked the magic circle under their feet, trying to break the spell by smashing the magic circle.

However, no matter how they attacked, not even a single crack appeared in the magic array.

Soon, the black ring shrank to a minimum. In the entire magic array, only the person who had been in the center of the magic array escaped by chance, and the others were all turned into bones.

However, the man who survived was not much better, he slumped on the ground, smirked stupidly, and seemed to have turned into a dementia, and the dirt under his ass was also wet.

A dignified seven-foot man, but he was frightened to the point of insanity, such a scene made Artevans feel a little ridiculous.

"Rusha, I'll leave this person to you, you should understand what I want to do." Atlance said, turning and walking towards Thorin, "I'm going to think about how I can devour that woman's energy without alerting that greatsword."

Rusha nodded respectfully, walked up to the already insane adventurer, grabbed the other party's face, and injected her own spiritual power.

After a convulsion of the adventurer's body, he slowly stood up and looked at Rusha with an expressionless face.

"Go ahead." Rusha waved her hand and said.

The adventurer nodded sluggishly, and turned and walked in the direction of Phothes.

——————————————

In the eastern part of the Southern Continent, in the easternmost coastal city-state.

This city-state had close trade with the Northern Continent a hundred years ago, and it is also the most developed city-state in the eastern part of the Southern Continent.

But just now, the prosperity that the city-state had accumulated over the past hundred years had collapsed in an instant. Collapsed houses, chaotic streets, corpses, and the burning castle of the lord all tell the story of what happened here.

What destroyed this place were two strong men who appeared here, and their appearance was accompanied by a powerful energy fluctuation that instantly swept the entire city-state. Even the most powerful adventurers in the city-state lost their lives under this wave of energy. And those who were lucky not to die fled in a hurry.

The two strong men who appeared here were Roat and Talia.

Talia looked around at the hell on earth, and her face turned ugly. She looked at Loat, who was also suspended in mid-air, not far in front of her, and frowned, "What the hell are you...... Or the same Loyat I knew? Why, I haven't seen you for a hundred years, and you have become such a stranger.'"

"After all these years, everyone will change, whether it's you, me, or Brother Artfans, we can't go back to the time when we were in the Ramas Forest." Rodt spread his hands and said, "Now that I'm an evil god, I want to do what my freedom is, and you're in the way of my freedom."

"It's not so much that I'm getting in your way, it's just an excuse you made for yourself to stand on Artfans' side." Talia snorted coldly and said, "You used to have a good relationship with Artevans, and I know you longed for him, but I really didn't expect you to embark on such a path."

"It's useless to say anything now, is it?" Loat smiled and said, "My purpose is clear now, I won't get in the way of your decisive battle with Brother Artfans, it's an inevitable battle for you. But at the very least, I can't let you interfere with Brother Artfans' fight until he disposes of those people.'"

"But my purpose is the opposite of yours, and I'm going to work with those humans to defeat Artevans! Since you're going to stop me, I'll take you down first!' As she spoke, Talia entered the Oracle Leap, and a strong wave of qi erupted from her body.

A wave of qi swept over Rodat's body with coercion, but Rodat was unaffected. He glanced at Talia calmly, and also entered the combat mode.

However, instead of mobilizing the power of the oracle he possessed as the heir of the gods, Rodt directly used the power of the evil god.

"You're wrong, Sister Talia." Tyat suddenly flashed a gentle smile at Taria, "Aside from Brother Artevans and Master, the person I admire the most is you, and I can't hurt you. So, we're not going to fight.'"

After that, Loyat lifted his bangs and revealed them.

Royalt's words made Talia a little confused, "What are you talking about......

However, before she could finish her words, she suddenly felt a breath coming from above her head.

Talia looked up and saw a gray magic circle above her head, and immediately tried to respond, but she was still a step too slow. Under the light emitted by the magic array, she gradually felt her consciousness begin to blur, and finally slowly closed her eyes.

"Forgive me for hiding my true intentions from you, Sister Talia." Looking at Talia in a deep sleep, Roart whispered.

Then he disappeared where he was.
