CHAPTER XXVI
The Faceless Lands are divided into three large regions, the Peak of Atonement, the Silent Forest, and the Nest of Bones; Among them, the nest of bones covers the entire underground area of the faceless land, full of bones, since the existence of the abyss, the nest of bones is the place where the abyss throws corpses, the group of white bone monsters that devoured the sea of bones in Ping'an City a hundred years ago are just a drop in the bucket of the nest of bones, and the bones filled here by the abyss every day are enough to drown hundreds of Ping'an cities.
The Nest of Bones is also a storehouse for the undead forces, and bones are one of their foundations, but there are also some fallen and demons, such as necromancers who have fallen into darkness, and corpse demons who like to collect all kinds of powerful or powerful bones.
Above the Bones is the Silent Forest, and unlike the Nest of Bones, the Silent Forest does not refer to a single area, it has countless areas, in this vast and faceless land, the Silent Forest is a forest of activity, no real life knows where it will appear, and there have been life forms that have seen a silent forest of solitary trees.
In the middle of the Silent Forest is the legendary Burning Lake, a strange lake that burns automatically without the lake, and it is said to have a certain quality in the soul, which is extremely tempting, and it is a delicacy that cannot be refused to be rejected by demons, but non-pure-blood demons cannot get close to it at all, and on the periphery of the Burning Lake wanders endless remnants and undead spirits, which are unapproachable unless they die, and it is rumored that the remains of the strongest wander inside.
In addition to the Buried Bones and the Forest of Silence, what remains is the Peak of Atonement.
The Peak of Atonement is a special existence in the Faceless Land, and not only that, but the three major graveyards of the Abyss, in addition to the Hall of the Dead, the Sea of Heavenly Curtain and the Faceless Land are not only graveyards.
It's also a prison.
At this time, the Peak of Atonement area.
The black peaks reach straight into the sky, like steel infusion, indestructible, in the central area of this sea of mountains, on the main peak that seems to border the sky, from time to time there are bursts of roars in the sky, and the silver-white dragon flashes by.
The dusty sky is constantly falling volcanic ash, this main peak seems to be an active volcano, a scorching heat makes ordinary life impossible to survive at all, and further up, even the backbone of the stars can feel a little scorching, and after staying for a long time, it can't stand this temperature.
The earth here cracked, and there was a wind like a boning knife at all times, like the moon that was about to be destroyed.
On the top of the mountain one after another, there are traces of life activities in every place with their backs to the mountains and facing the sky, large and small smooth platforms that can be used as mirrors, countless iron ropes and shackles, some of the mountain platforms are locked with demons, some of the mountain platforms are locked with spirits, and some of the mountain platforms are only rotten white bones, but most of them are empty, only iron cables that sway and hit in the wind.
When the wind blew, I remembered the terrifying crisp sound, wave after wave, as if countless souls were tormented in front of them, and they were still enduring the sorrow of capital punishment after death.
The Peak of Atonement, which is one of the hardest places to survive in the Abyss, the life banished to the Faceless Land, where there is not one in ten.
At this moment, the highest place of a peak of atonement, a huge smooth wall, as if artificially polished, it stood on the edge of the abyss, the fly in the ointment is that its "mirror" seems to have several convex points, carefully count about eighteen in total, and then look carefully, iron chains extend from above, and then the other end is locked on a living entity.
It has been so old that the color of the chains is the same color as the stone of the mountain, and it is as thick and solid as rust and obsidian.
【Boom ......】
Eighteen chains moved, and a rickety figure seemed to be half-crouching and stood up straight, a white battle armor full of broken veins had long lost its charm, and the exposed white limbs were full of ugly and twisted dark red burn scars, not only that, but there was chapped skin everywhere, like the cracked earth, which was shocking.
It was uninhabited, and it was extremely silent, except for the sound of constantly moving chains, and a lurking sense of deadly crisis, like the sound of a heartbeat with a covered head, that only life here could perceive.
【Boom ......】
She had to stand up, because the volcano behind her was about to erupt.
There are twenty-four hours in an abyss, so the volcano behind her erupts four times in an abyss, and each eruption will burn up all the life around her, and she clearly remembers that when she came here a hundred years ago, it was an ancient and silent forest.
And now, there are only ashes.
【Boom ......】
Her body trembled slightly, the chains that locked her ankles had worn through her skin for a hundred years, deep into the flesh, and the dark golden blood mixed with a trace of bright red kept dripping, so that the little pitiful place under her feet was completely different from the mountain.
The mirrored wall seems to grow with the mountain, located on the edge of the mountain, slightly out of touch with the mountain, revealing an area about half a meter wide below.
Further, it is the abyss, and if you take a step back, you will burn hell, and here is the capital punishment of the peak of atonement.
For a hundred years, her range of activities is only such a small area, which even ordinary people can step through, but such a palm-sized place has endlessly bound her. Overlooking the peak, behind the mirrored walls is a huge crater, the color of the magma is an evil deep purple, and the thunder light rolls through the crater, and the color that shines through the dusty sky is a distorted color.
Repression, restlessness, and indescribable dullness with ordinary lifeforms.
Once it erupts, the purple magma will rush straight into the sky, and it will attract the thunder sea, and the purple thunder sea with the magma will devour all life.
This is the second capital punishment of the Peak of Atonement.
【Boom ......】
She stood barefoot in the active open space that was only half a meter in front of and behind, the black wings of dark golden veins wrapped her tightly, and she knew that if she didn't, the dark purple magma that erupted in a while would eat away at her **, just like those guys under her feet.
There were no bones in sight, only countless iron chains hanging empty, and the slightest movement made a scalp-tinging collision sound, like the unwilling undead calling one after another.
Then all the voices would grow louder and louder, and finally a sentence would form in her ears, an extremely gentle word, a crowd full of countless feelings.
"Come down, we'll accompany you."
Each of the peaks of atonement had more than one platform, and a few decades ago there was a poor guy locked five hundred meters below her feet, but that guy didn't survive the third execution, and the wind of bone cutting carried him away piece by piece.
Experiencing three capital punishments every day is the backbone of the stars, and the stars will be dim.
The mountain shook slightly, and although she had made as little contact with the mountain as possible, the platform below still burned her feet red.
She didn't care, this situation had been going on for a hundred years, she just had to survive the most painful moments, but when she was ready, she didn't feel the burning feeling that came day after day, year after year, so she seemed to think of something, raised her head slightly, and from the long black hair like a waterfall mixed with dark blonde, there was an emotionless word.
"It doesn't matter how many times you come, my faith is only light."
As if talking to herself, there was no life standing on the other side of her, empty.
"Messenger of the King of Hell, there is no need for anything worthy of my remembrance here, sooner or later, he will come."
Her calm voice seemed to narrate something that had nothing to do with her.
【Hehe......]
There was a faint chuckle from the other side, and then a tall figure emerged, dressed in extraordinary clothes, his black coat looking extremely noble, embroidered with dark threads
Golden pattern, skin like jade, extremely handsome face, long black hair with a shawl is also mixed with dark gold, but less than the locked fallen angel in front of him.
The most terrifying thing is that there are four wide black wings on each of his backs, and with his appearance, the light of this heaven and earth appears a little dim.
"The inferior fallen angel, Cyra, the Fallen never distorts the beliefs of others, it only corrects the deepest desires of every human heart."
"As for the human you are talking about, do you think that poor and small human life can save you? Can it give you the final salvation? Let's live for a hundred years! ”
She was not affected by these few words, and her beliefs were as extreme as the night in her long black hair.
"Bondage or not, is the difference between desire and **, dark."
"It's like you're locked in this hellish place right now, you can't eat delicious food for three meals a day, and you can only drink the already polluted rain every ten days and half a month to satisfy your hunger? Tortured four times in an abyss? Your light has locked you in this place? ”
"Or is that what you desire?"
The other side was silent, he was quite patient, he didn't think that the other side would be persuaded by himself, this angel's will was the strongest he had ever seen, no matter how he persuaded and seduced, he was unmoved, so far there was only one change, that is, from the beginning of the silence to now, she gradually began to talk to herself. And today, I am absolutely sure that I will transform this unique angel in front of me into a true fallen angel!
"Tsk~" There was a soft lip smacking sound from the other side.
"Cyra, do you want to say, 'It's darkness until you get close to the light', 'There is no dawn without darkness', etc., give up, I used to be a four-winged angel, these words are rotten, what is the first lesson of angels? Carrying those so-called vows of light?! Cyra, Heaven is constantly brainwashing you, take a closer look! Come with me to the Fallen Forces! Is it like what Heaven says? Hunger, killing, betrayal everywhere? Go to hell and see! Isn't it full of those things in the mouth of heaven! ”
"I remember that there is a saying in the Doctrine of Light, if you want to know the truth, you should seek the truth, not reject everything!"
"Come, join us, we will let the Lord of Heaven understand what truth is, what is a desire that should not be bound, and let all light break the shackles!"
Staring at the angel in front of him, he still couldn't figure out why Lord Lucifer insisted that she belong to hell, and even did not hesitate to join forces with heaven.
She fell silent, as if her consciousness was engaged in a fierce struggle in her eyes.
"It's going to fall again, like the snow on my friend's side."
"It's been a hundred years, he's just a human being, a human being for a hundred years at most, no, no, no, he's different, he can survive a hundred years, then he can come, no, no, no, he can't come, this is the abyss, my ally, this is the abyss, you can't come......"
"Can't come...... Even if you can survive a hundred years, you can't come to see me......"
"Don't come to see me......"
"Dust ......"
For a long time, along with the ashes that had been drifting from the sky, a calm word came from the opposite side of the darkness.
"Dark, do you have faith?"
"Faith?" He frowned, "Fall doesn't require faith, I think you know that. ”
"But I have, Dark."
"Cyra! Every angel is born with an unwarranted responsibility and mission, and this is not your destiny! Don't you get it yet?! Do you really think that you are like this because of us? Have you never doubted your Father?! Haven't your heart told you what is the root of the end of all this?! He was puzzled that he had gradually lost his patience.
"Please go back, the punishment of the peak of atonement will fall in a moment, and there will be no distinction between you and me."
The voice on the other side was still calm.
"I'll tell you two pieces of news before I leave." He looked dissatisfied and angry.
"First, if you are still like this, Lord Lucifer will personally replace you with a fallen heart."
His dark eyes flashed with this inexplicable look, and he slowly said the second message.
"Second, in that plane of the earth, a few days ago, a human being broke into the Cosmos Peak of Lord Soto, one of the top twelve, and then was bombarded by more than a dozen forbidden spells, and there was only such a handful of ashes."
The figure in his eyes still didn't react, and he waited for a while, and for some reason, a hint of irritability ran in his heart, which he hadn't felt in a long time.
Just when he was impatient, the other side finally reacted, and even the voice that had been calm rarely fluctuated.
"Give it to me."
There was an emotional fluctuation that Di had never felt before, and Di smiled in his heart, and without saying any conditions, he directly stretched out his hand and wrapped a cloud of gray and white things with a cloud of dark purple energy, and threw it at the opposite foot.
"Dark, every angel has a balance in his heart, especially the stronger the angel has a balance in his heart, often the most can't let go of the thing is the balance, like Sila who evolved from a human to an angel, the heart is no longer a balance, but a forbidden area, she has experienced human feelings, has the light of angels, so there is only one thing that can make her completely fall."
"It's called life."
"For this game, hell and heaven have been planning for a hundred years, and in order not to affect this bureau, we will turn a blind eye to how the humble and insignificant insects are making trouble."
"Do not interfere, but always control, until fate is on our side, all struggles are in vain, this is the ashes of humanity, from now on, the fate of the fallen will be completely rewritten!!"
He remembered what Lord Lucifer had said after he came out of the Divine Palace, when a crisp voice suddenly came from the front.
【Bang~】
With joy in his heart, the words he had just opened his mouth and swallowed them in an instant.
The long golden hair parted a gap in the middle, revealing a delicate pale jaw, and a golden eye, and it was this eye that revealed a look that made Di's whole body tighten.
It was like an ancient and dead garden in the uninhabited wasteland at night, where flowers stood quietly in the garden with bones in their mouths, bewitching and full of unease.
"My ......"
"My ......"
"My ......"
Her voice fluctuated like it had in a hundred years.
Mixed with indescribable choking, and staccato
The golden eyes instantly filled with deep purple, the roaring volcano behind it trembled, and the huge sound of magma tumbling against the mountain, and there were sounds everywhere, and only one voice was the most distinguishable.
"My friend, seal the dust ......"
At this moment, a fierce wind came from an unknown place, and he frowned tightly, and his wings flapped lightly against the wind, as if he saw the flowers on the wasteland bloom instantly, and the flowers of blood roared and exploded again, and the wasteland was cracking, and the smell of palpitations was exuding from it.
【Bang~】
It was the same voice again, and his narrowed eyes finally found the source, and not only that, but he smelled the same level from the two-winged angel.
"Sure enough, only this kind of combat power is worth the cost of Lord Lucifer."
The angel on the opposite side is only the strength of two wings, but at this moment, he gives himself a face to face
The feeling of rank, and this is definitely not an illusion, as if the withered body on the other side contains the power to destroy the world and destroy the world.
"Yes, that's it, Cyra, we need more of these heaven-hating compatriots!!" Gloom was extremely excited, looking up to the sky and smiling, his handsome face full of twisted madness.
"Don't doubt us!! This is the true ember of your human ally! Your heart should have told you the truth! It must be erupting with endless sadness and anger right now!! That's the most essential emotion! The most essential feeling! You can't fool it! It can't deceive you even more!! ”
Gloom grew more and more excited, and he landed on the platform, one hand reaching into his hair, about to lift the opposite jaw.
"Look at you, your light is not only not protecting you! Haven't protected your allies yet! This is your Light! ”
The sharp pain in her heart made the golden pupils under her blonde hair unable to leave the pile of ashes under her feet for a second, and the tearing sensation that crossed the heavens and all the worlds made her body tremble slightly.
One is called suffering, the other is called pain, and a feeling that can only be felt a hundred years ago comes back to you.
"My friend......" she gritted her chattering teeth and burst out a few words.
"I'm sorry," said the bleak mouth, but a touch of morbid madness appeared on his handsome face, "Death never lies. ”
She kept repeating until it turned into a murmur, and her world should be full of riots every day with the volcano rumbling behind her, but it wasn't until that little pinch of gray-white powder appeared that her world turned black and white.
There is more than one color in this world, 360 colors, only black and white are the most heartfelt.
There is more than one calamity in this world, three hundred and sixty calamities, only the love calamity is the most murderous.
"Cyra, Lord Lucifer has promised you to Artores, one of the top twelve, for the legendary four keys, the abyss is now a real undercurrent, and it is a huge advantage for the fallen forces to win over a top twelve."
"Not only that, but the other three kings are also courting the top twelve who are walking alone."
I don't know if she's listening, but after a moment, he looks at Cyra, who has been stuck in his consciousness, and turns to leave.
"Boom !!"
A violent explosion came from behind, and he hurriedly turned around, stunned in place.
"You...... You...... What are you doing!! ”
"You actually want to break free from the locks of God?!"
Cyra's broad wings were now spread out, and they were covered with defects and volcanic ash, and endless embers fell as she moved.
Dead silence、The momentum that has been standing on the tip of the knife for a hundred years began to collapse suddenly!!
She is like a stubborn veteran who has risen again from the sea of blood in the mountain of corpses, like a blood flower blooming in the white bones, and a breath of breath instantly rises to the sky!!
His eyes widened suddenly, his throat rolled, and he said in disbelief:
"Xeon ......"
However, Cyra didn't pay attention to him, and her eyes only had the handful of ashes that were constantly being carried away by the wind.
The jade arm full of scars suddenly tugged, and directly broke the three divine locks that locked his left arm in an instant in his somewhat frightened eyes!
Then she reached for the wings on her back with her left hand, and pulled something out of the black feather.
A sword with a dusty blade, a saw-edged back with a slender but mutilated sword.
"This sword ......" turned into a black streamer and left Baili in an instant, and the moment he pulled out the long sword, his fur exploded!! It was as if an ancient god had appeared on the other side, looking at him with a cruel gaze.
"Old friend, long time no see."
She looked at the mutilated sword she held in her left hand, and something seemed to overflow from under a pair of golden pupils, and a flame that burned what she saw was slowly reviving!
The long wind blew her long black hair, she slowly looked up into the distance, extremely deep, and the next second her left hand holding the sword suddenly raised, and suddenly cut off the three divine locks that locked her right arm!
With the clanging sound of iron constantly breaking the divine lock, the dark pupils that were watching from a distance constricted.
"The last one!"
【Bang Dang!! 】
With the escape of the sinner, the peak of atonement behind her trembled even more, cracks appeared in the huge black mountain, countless rolling stones fell down one after another, and the purple magma in the mountain was about to spew out!
They don't allow! Sinners will never be allowed to get out of trouble!
Not only that, above the sky, the silver dragon swam, and the volcanic ash was extremely depressing!
In the distance, the darkness saw the other side break free from the shackles, and the aura there became violent! It's like an ancient and indescribable horror coming out of the abyss!
"It's going to explode! The Last Judgment of the Peak of Atonement! ”
The three executions came in an instant, and with the tremor of the earth, purple magma rose into the sky, and the lightning in the sky above his head was stained with purple, tearing the sky into huge cracks! A bone-slashing wind gushing out of the cracks swooped down like thousands of horses, towering with bloody halberds!
Cyra's face was always serene, she was still standing on a smooth platform, which was smooth enough for the volcano to erupt, and the huge heat scorched the sinners, making them unable to stand, making them like ants in a hot pot, and making them understand what sin was!
She took a step forward, inserted the long sword in her left hand diagonally into the edge of the platform, half of it was exposed, and then her wide and beautiful black wings flapped for the first time in a hundred years, and her whole body was light, like a goose feather in this world-destroying wind, but it didn't move at all, and the next second her body fell on the hilt of the sword.
With his wings outstretched and his arms at his sides, his face slightly raised and his eyes closed, feeling the freedom of the future for a long time.
"Boom !!!"
A series of countless huge roars came out along with the fall of the three capital punishments, and the dark four wings that were far away flew away again, and he couldn't stand the terrifying energy in the central area of the three capital punishments!
"Locked in the peak of atonement for a hundred years, she can still advance and break the shackles, what a terrifying woman!! Darkness felt her energy coming from the central area, and her energy was even more violent!
The furious energy was fleeting, but the damage caused was unprecedented, and most of the dozen or so peaks of atonement around them disappeared, and the position in the center should not have left a single bit, but the dark pupils were indeed a mountain pillar, a mountain remnant that was criss-crossed by ravines but still trying to extend upwards.
At the top of the mountain, an angel dressed in tattered gray linen stood quietly, she did not change in the slightest, and the remnants of the explosion around her body turned into countless black lightning bolts roaming around.
At this time, her long eyelashes moved slightly, and she opened her eyes, and her golden pupils looked at everything in front of her, and under her, there was an abyss.
If the mutilated mountain is a lonely flower blooming on this cliff abyss, then the figure standing on it is the first bloom after a hundred years.
Cyra looked at everything in front of her, her gaze was no longer benevolence, equality and justice, the only thing that symbolized the holy light was the color of her pupils, at this moment, she spread out her palms, and a touch of white ashes in the palm of her slender and small hand was eaten away by the wind little by little, and when the last touch was taken away by the wind, her fingers trembled slightly, wanting to leave that trace of embers.
After all, there was no hands-on.
Above the abyss, a hundred years later, she said to herself.
"Welcome to the kingdom of God, where there is no distinction between right and wrong, black and white are reversed, and good and evil are disordered."
