I have wandered the walls of Chris, and the undead villages have been slaughtered by me several times. The heroic soul of Camp Fran should have been counted as one of me. Sister Fried's scythe in the world of painting has left me with an unforgettable reminder, and the sword and spear of the Nameless King pierces me several times...... Perhaps I should have followed in the footsteps of the Sun King, Gwen, and let the age of fire continue. But it's too painful to live as ashes. Closing my palms, the primordial fire finally turned into a wisp of smoke and dust under my gaze, and the sun in the sky turned into a flat black hole, like a liquid flowing out of the night, and finally engulfed the whole world......

Opening his eyes again, Ash moved his shoulders with some emotion. It was a miserable place all around...... No, it's not so much gloomy as it is completely black like ink. Seriously, in this case, Ash is really afraid of jumping out of some corner a Thai shampoo brother to rub his own hair. But even if it's a head-rubbing service, it doesn't seem to be anything to be afraid of, anyway, I don't feel pain, and when I wake up, it's a raw seafood...... Phew, good man.

"It's pitch black...... Zizi, is this what it will look like after the end of the Age of Fire? No wonder Gwen's group of old men were always thinking about spreading the fire, it was pitch black, but luckily I had torches in my backpack. ”

As he spoke, Ash dug into his backpack, and when it came out from behind him, a torch burning with human fat appeared in Ash's hand, which seemed to be the only color in this pure black space.

The ground is streaked with elaborate marks, but in general, they don't look beautiful, probably because they are stained with blood that has coagulated and blackened. There are a lot of skeletons on the ground, and for such things as skeletons, the ashes are no longer strange, and on the side of the undead cemetery, there are so many hordes of ghosts that they can't kill them all, especially the corpse maggots on their bodies, which stick to their bodies and bite them and don't let go.

The armor on their bodies is beautiful, but what makes Ash a little concerned is that these armors are women's armor, what to say? The armor may have been around for a while, and though it was only a slight touch, it still quickly turned into dust...... This frustrated Ash a little. In the process of finding the first fire, collecting unique equipment is one of the few pleasures of Ash. Exquisite armor like this is much better looking than the group of tin can knights in Chris's high wall.

But if you look at the defensive performance alone, it may ...... Well, looking good is a lifetime thing.

"Who are you?"

Suddenly such a voice came out of the darkness, slightly stunned, looking in the direction from which the sound came, Ash shook his head in some frustration.

It's so dark that even a torch burning with human fat can only illuminate a meter or two around you. After staying in this environment for a long time, Ash has doubts that he may suffer from claustrophobia. But when I think about it, it seems that when I was in the coffin, there was no difference compared to now...... Ash is a little inexplicably nostalgic for the fireproof lady at the beginning. Although in childhood, the impression left on herself by the fire girl was not good...... But now that I think about it. The primordial fire was extinguished by her own urine, and I don't know what happened to her now.

But then again, the age of fire is over, so what should this era be called? The Age of Water? …… I feel inexplicably bored.

At the same time as Ash was making irresponsible and gratuitous associations, with the sound of clattering high heels, a tall woman stepped into the range of flames. Her long black hair hung down to her waist, probably because she hadn't washed her hair for a long time, and her hair had already shown to be in a split strand. He was wearing a torn black tights. Beneath the sporadic holes revealed white skin, a smoky face painted with uninteresting makeup, and a clear hostility in his eyes...... At the same time, for some reason, she seems to be a little uncomfortable with the firelight. Is it because you've been in the dark for too long?

In a word......

"There are still people here?! Wait, I'll start a campfire. ”

As he spoke, Ash dug into his pocket beside him, and then, under Hela's surprised gaze, Ash took out an adult's forearm-thick, one-meter-long, spiral-shaped rusty sword from his empty back. Then he took out a pile of broken bone fragments and threw them on the ground, raised his sword, and thrust it without hesitation. I don't know why, the moment the spiral sword was inserted into the bone fragment, the sword body of the spiral sword ignited with red flames. Nodding in satisfaction, Ash breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the slowly rising campfire. Although the age of fire has passed, for now, the power of fire can at least continue to be used.

Seeing that there was no problem with the campfire, Ash turned his gaze to Hela behind him. Hela, on the other hand, looked at the ashes in front of her with little interest, having been imprisoned for thousands of years, and this was the first time Hela had seen a new ...... Person? No, according to Hela's perception, the ash in front of her did not have the breath of a human being, on the contrary, there was a slight divinity. Although it is divinity, there is a decaying aura from her body, giving people the feeling of being a dried corpse that has been in a cemetery for decades. Although the corners of the armor were burning, it was not so much a flame as it was the embers on the firewood after the flame was extinguished. Or in other words, his whole body has a stream of decay after the firewood is burned out......

"Who are you?"

Hela squinted at the mysterious man in black close-fitting armor in front of her.

There was a small cloak about elbow-length on the outside of the armor, and the gap in the helmet was so dark that there was not the slightest light visible. If it weren't for the flying sparks of the campfire, Hela even wondered if she had hallucinated from being imprisoned for too long.

"Me? I am ashes. Because I was so tired of being alive, I simply extinguished the primordial fire...... By the way, have you really heard of the Primordial Fire? ”

"Ashes? The Primordial Flame? ”

Looking at the ashes in front of her, which was shrouded in armor, Hela narrowed her eyes in confusion. She hadn't heard of the Primordial Flame, but she had heard of the Eternal Flame. And that, is one of Odin's collections......

"Are you...... That guy's men? ”

"That guy?" Ash looked a little confused.

Hela's face rose with a silent disdain, and she said with a strong resentment: "That guy who claims to be a god." ”

God? Are you talking about Gwen, the Sun King? Thinking, not paying attention to Hela's tone, Ash nodded and said, "That's right, I also swore allegiance in front of his throne......"

Hearing this, before Ash could finish the rest of his words, several levitating sharp knives rose up behind Hela.

"Then you will die!!!"

Hela let out a resentful roar, and Ash blinked, falling silent...... It's been a long time, and this is also a geist, but it's the first time I've seen a geist like this, even if it's ashes......

"Cut, after a long time, you are also an immortal who has lost his humanity...... In that case, your soul will also be part of my collection......"
