The surroundings are treacherous.

The enemy is unusually strange and powerful.

Dargon, who thought he was the most reliable and had signed a master-servant contract, was suddenly swept away by a sudden shadow storm.

Several factors combined, and the situation was unprecedentedly bad for Fang Jin.

If there is no accident, you can only give it a go and look for a chance to escape.

Having said that, Fang Jin was unprecedentedly calm at the moment.

In his previous six years, he had encountered similar difficulties more than once, but in the end he had succeeded in saving the day. And in the current life-and-death crisis, although the enemy is powerful and strange, he is still at the same level as himself. What's more, as the president of the Salvation Guild and the leader of the Alliance of the Two Provinces, Fang Jin's storage backpack did not lack life-saving props in the ordinary sense. It's just that he almost never uses it in weekday battles.

In front of this white shadow, he is not completely powerless to fight back!

The light of the artifact skill [Dawn] began to flicker.

Just when Fang Jin's eyes flashed with fierceness, and he was about to strike first, the power of the Dazzling Mirror that he was urging with all his strength seemed to attract the attention of an unknown being in the depths of the Shadow Twilight Realm.

A surprise sounded unusually clear in Fang Jin's mind.

Whether it was the roar of the Shadow Twilight Storm, or the auditory hallucinations and whispers of the undead in the realm, they were all suppressed by the sound in an instant.

"Really?"

There was a little more joy in the surprised tone of the unknown existence.

Immediately after, the white shadow that was about to attack Fang Jin suddenly stopped his actions as if he had received some order.

From its stiff movements, Fang Jin could clearly feel resistance...... Even anger.

But under the thought of that unknown existence, the white shadow had no way to disobey, and could only stare at Fang Jin with vicious and dissatisfied eyes, as if this could eat him.

"Won't fight?"

Fang Jin was a little confused by the exclamation just now and the strange behavior of the white shadow, and cautiously tested it, and found that the white shadow really didn't dare to embarrass himself.

Not only that, but even the originally chaotic Shadow Storm has slowly changed.

With Fang Jin as the center, the Shadow Storm seemed to have a spirituality, and took the initiative to avoid him, blowing over from a place of one meter on the left and right sides.

Now he is like a reef in the tide and the eye of the storm in the storm!

This magical scene made Fang Jin's heart extremely amazed, in the depths of the ruins of Pompeii, something even more terrifying noticed him!

Although it seems that the other party has released some goodwill, it is difficult to say whether this is really the case.

In case the other party has other plans, a monster that can easily manipulate the white shadow will only be more terrifying for him now!

However, Fang Jin seemed to have no choice.

Seeing the gap between the shadow storm and the gap around him, gradually spreading into the depths of Pompeii, as if urging himself to pass, he hesitated and finally decided to venture over.

Of course, he can choose not to know how to lift, but that will inevitably anger the other party and make the white shadow attack him again. Once it is delayed for a moment, the even more terrifying being will be able to chase it out of the depths of the ruins of Pompeii. Rather than ending up at the worst, it's better to get in touch with it first.

After all, the other party's previous exclamation seems to prove the identity, at least there is an independent thinking and someone who can communicate!

………

The rest of the road can be described as unprecedentedly calm since entering the ruins of Pompeii.

With the active avoidance of the Shadow Storm, and the unwilling but helpless escort of the White Shadow, the dangers contained in the Shadow Twilight realm seem to have all disappeared. As if carrying a pearl of water, he went upriver at the bottom of a purple-black "river" and walked leisurely to the central area of the ruins of Pompeii.

At this point, the power of the shadows grew stronger and more manic.

The ground, which was originally paved with exquisite marble slabs, has become pitted, and long ravines with a depth of more than ten meters or even tens of meters can be seen everywhere. From the smooth mirror-like slope of the ravine, and the quartz luster that resembles burnt sand, it can be inferred that the ravine must have been left by some supernatural power back then. Even now, five years later, the residual trace of breath still makes Fang Jin feel palpitations.

Further on, crossing an inner city river that appeared to have dried up, Fang Jin arrived at the palace of the former Duchy of Belmar.

As Michel said earlier, the devastation is even worse. Except for some broken eaves that can vaguely show the prosperity of the year, there is hardly any trace that can prove that this is the imperial palace. As for the central area of the palace, it has been reduced to a super sinkhole more than 100 meters deep and a radius of not knowing how many kilometers.

Everything else: palaces, fountains, sculptures, gardens...... All of them have been buried in this sinkhole.

"Get down!"

The unusually clear voice from before resurfaced in Fang Jin's mind, with urging and expectation in his tone.

Get down?

Where does it come from?

Could it be this sinkhole?

Fang Jin hesitated for a moment and decided to continue to do so.

Although I haven't seen the unknown existence yet, this is already the center of the ruins of Pompeii, and even if that guy wants to continue hiding, he won't be able to hide for long.

Sliding down the pit wall of the sinkhole, with the strength of the Fang Jin Golden Rank powerhouse, it was easy to maintain balance on the steep slope. He still had the strength to look back at him, and noticed that the white shadow did not follow, but remained on the edge of the sinkhole, still staring at him.

Fang Jin, who had the intention of making a provocative move to stimulate it to see the consequences, thought about it and suppressed this deathly move.

Slide all the way to the bottom of the sinkhole.

At this point, the power of the Shadow Twilight had thinned out, and Fang Jin could already clearly see the scene at the bottom of the sinkhole. Some of the remains of a fortified palace building, as well as a ...... in the center of the wreckage Corpse?

For a moment, Fang Jin almost thought he was dazzled.

But he looked closely and was sure that he was not mistaken: it was a bronze-colored, four-meter-tall corpse that was a giant to the average person, exuding an infinite amount of coercion. The corpse was unusually strong and burly, but the head and left shoulder were neatly and brutally cut off. In other words, this is only half of the corpse?

But how is this possible!

The entire royal palace of Pompeii was destroyed in the disaster of that year, and all the masters, including the royal family, were gone. Even if there are survivors, it will be impossible to maintain them after a few years of erosion by the power of the shadows. In the ruins of the entire city of Pompeii, there was a dead silence, and no corpses could be seen, and this is the reason.

But who would have thought that at the bottom of this sinkhole, there would be such a well-preserved corpse!

Is it possible?

A terrible thought suddenly appeared in Fang Jin's heart.

He remembered what Michelle had said earlier: a god had fallen here!
