Chapter 1: The Legend (Part I)

Next Chapter

The gray concrete road, pedestrians hurriedly walked by, their eyes wandering. The young man stood tall, his blue hair covered by a wide black hood, and his blurred face was as illusory as reality. The hollow eyes opened and screamed from between the frozen purple lips and teeth, "babbling babbling". As sweet as ever.

On the other side of the chaotic time and space, there may be such a continent, which is the lost Eden Paradise, named Iger. In the corner of the continent, there is a small village called Nokus, where people live a boring but tranquil life.

One day, as if it were the usual routine, people came home after a day of farming, waiting for the night, waiting for another day to come. As the full moon slowly lifts, the village is plunged into silence and darkness. At this time, the mountains adjacent to the village began to tremble, and the people were awakened from their sleep by the trembling of the earth.

"Is the prophecy really going to come true?" a middle-aged man in half-armor with a stubble on his face stood on the mountainside, feeling the tremor of the earth, and muttered to himself. Suddenly, an armored squire appeared behind the man, knelt down on one knee and said, "Lord Arman, the altar is ready. The middle-aged man nodded and said, "I know, you can step down." "Yes, sir. With that, the squire disappeared into the depths of the bushes. "I hope things go well, and tomorrow is good enough to celebrate Crow's birthday. The middle-aged man shook his head and disappeared at the end of the road.

In the depths of the village, dozens of stone pillars surrounded the altar, engraved with eye-catching inscriptions, and twelve hooded men in gray robes stood on each node of the altar floor pattern, struggling to maintain the operation of the array. "Isn't Lord Arman here yet?" asked an old man in black robes anxiously to the guards by the altar. "Alright, I'm here. I saw a middle-aged man with a newborn blonde baby in his arms appearing by the altar. "Hmm, why is Crowe here?" the man asked, looking at the child who was peeking out in the distance. "I'm sorry, my lord, but it's a dereliction of duty. The guards hurried back. "Forget it, without further ado, let's start the sealing ceremony quickly. With that, Arman went up to the altar and put the weeping baby into the eye, slicing open the artery in his left hand, and let out red blood that dripped down the baby. The right hand drew another array in the air, and the large array on the ground and the small array in the air reflected each other, and the blood that flowed responded to the two forces, one large and one small, and penetrated into the baby's bare upper body, gradually forming a circuit crest, and the inscriptions on the surrounding stone pillars also shone to the limit at this time.

"It" seemed to sense the threat, and the tremor of the earth intensified, and several crimson eyes and sharp horns suddenly appeared in the array that had been a little quiet just now. "How long do you want to trap the old decay?" Suddenly, the air froze, as if everything had stopped. It's just that the warm blood slowly seeped out of everyone's pores, and they all became bloody people. "Seal!" Arman shouted, and the altar shone like the sun. As the eyes and corners faded, the seal patterns on the baby's body were almost complete. Just as the blood pattern was synthesized, the closed pattern lost a corner in an instant, and the power of the seal surged outward like a tide through this gap, and along the line drawn by the large array, it converged towards the gray-robed hooded man in a corner. "The soul of the demon king, I will accept it unceremoniously. The hooded man said. "You won't be able to get away with it. With that, Arman's hands were together, the muscles of his body began to swell, and his beard was blown up by the air flow formed around him, and the whole person looked like he was about to burn, and then pressed his hands lightly on his eyes, concentrating and holding his breath, "Drink!" Arman's qi exploded to the extreme in an instant, and the missing corner was finally filled, and the originally shining altar slowly dimmed. And they fainted because of exhaustion. "Damn, only half of it. The hooded man muttered. "Who the hell are you?" Arman angrily threw his fist and knocked the man into the air, crashing into a spot at the bottom of the mountain. Just as he was about to continue rushing towards the man, there was a "poof", and the cold cross sword pierced Arman's chest from behind, and blood dripped from the tip of the sword to the ground, and he looked stunned and unwilling, and then fell to the ground, without breath. "Are you too slow to shoot? That punch almost killed me!" The hooded man asked dissatisfied, wiping the blood from his mouth and nose, dissatisfied. "After all, he is known as the strongest man on land, and even now I don't believe that I have killed him. But aren't you also one of the Seven Magicians of the Continent? After listening to the man's words, the hooded man's anger seemed to subside, and he said, "Okay, hurry up and send a signal for your people to clean up, I have to go." "Oh, don't you want the rest of the Demon King's soul in that baby's body?" "I'll only take what I got, that's what we agreed beforehand. We hope you will keep your promise as well. The young man smiled and said, "Of course, my magician. Just as he was about to use the seal pot he had taken out of his arms, a powerful and incomparable aura struck from behind him. "Oh no, it's the man. The man exclaimed. I saw that the qi emitted by Arman's "corpse" was almost condensed, roaring and wailing. "He" supported himself with both hands, and slowly stood up, his pupils completely gone. Clenched his fist, felt the remaining strength of his body, picked up the baby in the center of the altar, stepped out with his left foot, twisted his body in a bow, "bang", and disappeared in an instant.

A few miles away from the village, in front of a wooden house, Arman stopped. The bright moonlight shone on Arman's burly half-naked upper body, and the terrifying exaggerated muscles stood out brightly. After a stir, a couple walked out of the hut. "Brother Arman, why are you here?" the man looked at the figure with some confusion. Arman stiffly turned around, handed the baby to the couple who came by, and babbled, "Shine... Gu Nier... Go and find... Guide... "Brother Arman, what the hell ......is this" Before the man could finish speaking, the sky in the distance suddenly lit up. Arman's face became more hideous, and he took a string of bells from his waist, placed them on the baby's chest, and prepared to turn to the light. The man behind him seemed to want to ask something, and Arman hissed again: "Time... No... Enough... Finish. After saying that, a few jumps disappeared in front of the eyes of the three of them.

Time flies, and six years have passed in a flash. A small town, a dilapidated market, scattered with bustling people. In a clearing not far from the town, Neil hid alone in a tree branch. But after a while, he was woken up by the commotion under the tree, and when he rubbed his eyes and looked down, he saw several boys of eight or nine years old surrounding a little girl who looked to be about five or six years old. One of the chubby boys tossed a worn-out bag in his hand and asked the little girl, "Do you want to take it back?" The little girl thought for a moment, and knelt down and pleaded. "Well, for your sake, I won't pursue you stealing anything from our store. With that, the fat boy turned and left. Little Neil looked at it for a moment, then closed his eyes again and enjoyed the sun. The little girl immediately threw herself at the feet of the fat boy, grabbed his clothes, and said, "Didn't you promise to give it back to me?" The fat boy grinned and said with a smile, "When did I say I would give it to you? The little girl continued to plead with the fat boy, saying, "Please, my father is sick, we have just arrived here, and we have no money on us." Please!" "What does your dad's illness have to do with me. The fat boy's face was full of displeasure, and he shouted as his companions pulled the little girl away from his feet. But the little girl still persevered, crying and trying to get the bag back. "I don't think you will have a long memory if I don't teach you a lesson today. You, and you, teach her a good lesson. The fat boy shouted with a hideous face. When several of the companions heard the boy's words, they stepped forward and grabbed the girl by the hair, slapped her in the face, kicked and kicked her. The little girl wailed incessantly, tears in the corners of her eyes and blood on her lips, mixed together, staining her shabby clothes.

"Bell bell", a crisp bell sliding from the treetops. "Hey, can you go somewhere else? I can't sleep when you're arguing here. Little Neil, who had turned over, shouted disapprehensively at the boys. "Black hair!" "What! it's black hair!" The fat boy was startled by the sudden appearance of little Neil, and calmed down, and said jokingly, "It turns out to be the black hair of old Jimmy's family." Since you're going to come out, brothers, even he beat me up. "Boss, I've heard that it's bad luck to meet a black hair!" The little boys who accompanied him were a little afraid. "What are you afraid of, he's alone!" roared the fat boy. "yes, he's alone. Thinking to themselves, the boys rushed forward and scuffled with little Neil. Poor little Neil was able to fight back at first, but as his strength was exhausted, he could only be beaten with the little girl. The boys laughed and screamed as they beat little Neil. Suddenly, a young boy who was throwing a fist at Neil inadvertently ripped off a piece of cloth that Neil had tied to the back of his left hand, revealing a crimson eye. "Ah!" he exclaimed, and sat down on the ground, pointing his trembling hand to the eye. The rest of the little boys followed the direction he was pointing, and when they saw the eye, they couldn't stop screaming. The fat boy's body kept shaking, and he pointed at Neil and said, "You, are you Deba?!" After speaking, he didn't care about the bag in his hand and the remaining boys, and ran away. When the boys saw this, they also fled away while screaming. Little Neil smiled bitterly, looked at the boys who ran away, and thought: This is miserable, and he will definitely be scolded by Uncle Jimmy when he goes back, but he has to tell his uncle quickly. Neil stood up, patted his clothes, and ran towards a place in town. He had just run a few paces away, and then he came back and walked in front of the little girl. The little girl clutched the bag in her arms and looked warily at the folded back little Neil, who gripped her dry hand tightly. When the little girl saw him stretch out his fist, she closed her eyes and hugged the bag tighter and tighter. "Jingle bell", the touch of metal came from the palm of her hand, and the girl cautiously opened her eyes and stared at the copper coins in her hand. "Hope this helps you. With that, Little Neil turned around and ran off into the distance. The little girl who had just come to her senses looked at Neil's back and shouted, "Hey, my name is Lana." I'll definitely pay you back. "Well, goodbye Lana. Little Neil waved his hand back without looking back, and ran away. "It's great to finally be able to treat my dad. Lana danced with joy. "Ahh

In a ubiquitous house in the town, "Uncle Jimmy, Uncle Jimmy...", little Neil hurried over to a middle-aged uncle, gasping for air. "Oh, it's little Neil. What's wrong?" the uncle stopped what he was doing and looked at Neil. "That eye on the back of my hand was seen by Boni. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Uncle Jimmy. Little Neil bowed his head. "What?" said the uncle, stunned, "Hurry up and call your Aunt Linjie back, she should go to the river to wash her clothes." "Hmm. Little Neil nodded and rushed out. "It's bad. Jimmy thought to himself, hurrying to pack his things. When old Jimmy was almost cleaned up, Lin Jie also took little Neil's hand and came back. "I've ordered the carriage, we need to hurry up. Before Linjie and Nildo could rest, old Jimmy shouted to them with a few packages. The three of them hurriedly got into the carriage and left the town.

On the way, Neil asked, "Uncle Jimmy, am I really not human, and am I really going to make others unhappy?" Aunt Linjie on the side held Neil's hands and said, "Silly boy, you are the best gift God has given me and your Uncle Jimmy." "Neil, remember, you're always a real person. Old Jimmy replied as he drove the car. A few hours passed, and the roadside scenery ushered in dusk. Lin Jie asked Jimmy, who was driving, "Did anyone catch up?" "I didn't feel it, I shouldn't have it yet." Jimmy replied, bowed his head and continued to catch the car.

At night, the surroundings are quiet, and the afterglow of the waning moon spreads throughout the forest. By the faint light of the flames and the moonlight, the small carriage in the trees could be faintly seen. At this moment, the faint spark suddenly turned extremely red. "Oh no, they're coming," old Jimmy woke up Lynch and Neil, who were sleeping in the carriage, "Hurry up, I'll stop them here." "Jimmy, what are you going to do?" "I can't care so much now, they've caught up." Linjie, protect Neil. "Hmm," Lin Jie glanced at old Jimmy, then took little Neil's hand and ran away. When they were gone, Jimmy pulled out his old wand from his sleeve.

The embers floated up, scattered, and melted into the depths of the forest. "Click, click", Jimmy broke the branches in his hand one by one, divided them into several pieces, and threw them into the air, holding the wand with his right hand stretched out instantly, "array", and said silently, the front end of the wand flashed light, along with the beam, the air condensed turbulently, rolled up the broken strips, flew everywhere, and inserted them into the tree pattern clods. As the light at the end of the rod dimmed, silence fell again. Suddenly, an eerie gust of wind shattered the silence. "Is it coming?!", Jimmy roared, the dim light of the tip of the staff brightening again......

Somewhere in the forest, Lin Jie and Little Neil hid in a corner of the bushes, and from time to time the sound of armor clinking passed by. Lin Jie looked at the little Neil who was curled up in her arms, and suddenly her face turned grim, and she looked into Neil's eyes and asked, "Neil, do you listen to Aunt Linjie?" Little Neil nodded without hesitation although he was a little puzzled. Lin Jie smiled with relief, stroked Neil's hair dotingly, paused, and said, "When I go to lure them away, you will run in the opposite direction after a hundred counts, you know?" "But Aunt Linjie, you..." Lin Jie interrupted Neil's words, pretending to be angry, and asked, "I don't listen to your Aunt Linjie, do you?" Neil was silent for a few seconds, and whispered with a crying voice, "Got it." After hearing Neil's answer, Lin Jie's stiff face softened again. She stroked little Neil's forehead, kissed him, and held him in her arms, waiting for the moment.

"Boom", the earth began to tremble, large pieces of black mud soil gathered together, together with several trees, a forest, rising from the ground, coiling up, like a black python, it aimed at one part of the forest, and roared down. Suddenly, a little ball of light appeared next to the coiled python. "Bang", half of the black python was blown to pieces, and the forest clothes on it were also ignited, "boom", the exploding mud was burned red, swept away by the terrifying air waves, fell from the air, turned into a rain of fire, and ignited the entire forest. Even the knights, who were busy searching in the distance, couldn't help but stop their movements and stared blankly at this scene. After a while, he also began to hurriedly dodge the falling flint.

"Neil, protect yourself. Lin Jie hugged Neil tightly again, kissed him lightly on the forehead, and then resolutely ran into the depths of the forest. She shouted something as she slammed through the dwarf bushes. "Who?!" "Over there!" The knights, who searched everywhere, followed the sound and ran into the depths of the forest.

"One, two, three... Hundred. Neil's eyes widened and he stumbled to the other side. "There's another one here, the boy. "Grab it. The remaining knights, who had not yet run far, seemed to notice little Neil and chased after him.

"Linjie, Neil..."Jimmy, who was standing on the python's head, muttered, staring at the three middle-aged magicians who were casting the ball of light with all their might directly below, squinting his eyes and focusing on the central thoughts. He slowly raised the wand in his hand, and said lightly, "Burn", and the originally dimmed gem on the tip of the wand suddenly burst out with terrifying light. "Crackling", the wooden wand exploded with the entire right hand, and the dazzling gem turned into powder. Again, "Dragon", the phosphorus powder turned into the gem spread out, fell, and sank into all parts of the black python's body. The mottled flames spread in an instant, dancing with red flames, devouring and burning the entire snake's body. The soil of the snake's body began to crack, peel off, and explode, as if the red lotus had bloomed, and the scales of the flames had suddenly appeared. The scorching heat of the flame evaporated the deepest layer of water from the mud body, turning it into white vapor and bursting out of the earth, making a low roar like a dragon's roar. The remnant snake was reincarnated as a dragon and burned the sky. Jimmy stood weakly on his head, his beard and hair blown up by the heat, like a piece of rotten wood that could burn at any moment. For a moment, he slowly raised his left hand, stretched out his index finger, and pushed his entire arm forward, "!! up" roared. The fire dragon groaned again, and the flames rose in rage, and it roared forward.

Little Neil struggled to run through the woods, as if even the scenery around him was beginning to distort, but the heavy footsteps behind him were getting closer. "Hurry, hurry!" a river appeared before him as Neil pulled the last of the branches. Neil's heart tightened, and he almost stumbled and fell to the ground. The knight who followed closely behind also took advantage of this time to catch up.

"Bang", there was a huge explosion in the distance, and the huge flame dragon slammed into the ground, "Bang, bang, bang..." The flames that were constantly splashed by the impact were carried out by the waves of qi, drawing crimson arcs in the dark sky and flying to all parts of the forest. Little Neil, surrounded by four knights, looked up at the sky, his dull dark eyes suddenly glowing red. "Knock, knock—" Several flaming stones swept past Neil and smashed into the stunned knights. "Boom", little Neil was swept away by the scorching air wave and fell into the turbulent river behind him.
