Chapter 282: Light and Shadow

A strange hissing sound was heard.

It was just a momentary pause, and the stiffened Dagonit had already re-moved.

After the 'tortoise shell' was shattered, the parasitic spirits felt instinctive fear and boiled through its corpse.

They stimulated the shriveled brain, trying to summon the last of the emotions that remained in the corpse.

"Arthur ......"

Dagonit's body shook, and his face slowly lifted.

On the mutilated face, which was covered with a foul-smelling liquid, there were still scorch marks from the burning iron slurry.

"Give me back ......," said the remnants of anger.

The hatred that had been buried in the corpse was awakened, roaring wildly, repeating the same name, hating to the bitter end, to claim for the glory and status that had been won for themselves.

"Arthur!"

He roared, the masonry under his feet shattered, his body swelled again with convulsions, and his already exaggerated strength soared again.

The armor all over his body let out a high-pitched scream, which should have roared with his grief and indignation.

The greatsword that fell to the ground was shattered by his kick, and the steel turned into fine iron sand under his ravage, deeply embedded in the deep cracks of the stone.

In the end, the one-eyed red as lava looked at Ye Qingxuan, and then, the furious giant rushed towards him.

- Arthur !!

Before the people arrived, the exaggerated power set off a hurricane in the main hall, and people couldn't open their eyes. But in the wind, the figure of the young man stood still, motionless, and the hem of the black dress fluttered in the wind, like an eagle with wings spread.

A whirling melody burst out of his hand like a sharp blade, and in an instant, it reverberated through the halls of the wind, and the boy stared at the cracks in his armor and the demons hiding within.

That boiling slime. One by one, the pupils appeared, and they were looking at him, but they couldn't find any panic on that face.

There was only apathy.

If before that, Ye Qingxuan was still afraid of the former Knights of the Round Table in his heart, then once this group of demons was exposed to their original form, there was nothing to be afraid of.

Facing the impact of a boulder. The boy raised his cane high and fell to the ground with a sudden crash! In an instant, the crisp sound of steel trembling turned into the magnificent sound of a trumpet.

The horn had the furious breath of the scorching sun, as if to dispel the endless darkness and desolation.

- Announcing the dawn!

In an instant, the darkness was illuminated by the light of fire.

Sharp silver nails half a meter long, engraved with many notes and movements, flew out of his backpack, and after sensing such a clear demonic aura, he swallowed the flames and shot out like siege ballistas.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The roar of steel being torn apart was heard.

Sixteen silver spikes pierced into the crack of the iron armor in an instant. The impact sent Dagonit flying upside down. Smash against the wall.

Silver nails pierced through the sticky demons, shriveled corpses, pierced armor, and finally nailed deep into the walls.

Then, endless infernal fire erupted from the silver nails, swept through Dagonit's husk from the inside out, turning it into charcoal. It also ignited the countless parasitic demons.

This is the chanting consumables that the shaman gave to Ye Qingxuan, and the alchemists did it in just a few days. After refining dozens of tons of sterling silver, the alchemy equipment tailored for "Night on the Barren Mountain".

The firepower of the Barren Mountain Night has not only been doubled!

In the flames, Dagonit struggled, but could not break free, and was engulfed in flames from the inside out.

Countless viscous liquids erupted from the cracks in the armor, scrambling to escape. Splashing like a fountain. But their bodies had already been ignited, and they were cramping wildly on the ground, until in the end, there were not even ashes left.

Through the thick light of the fire, Dagonit's body seemed to return to the time before death again. Let out a terrible scream. Pounding frantically against the walls that shackled them, the cracks spread.

Until the end, he never moved again.

All aether fluctuations vanished without a trace, leaving only a red-hot piece of armor in place.

It was only now that Ye Qingxuan breathed a sigh of relief, layers of cold sweat seeped out of his back, and he smiled happily: "Although I am not an official musician, I am still quite strong." ”

When he said this, he heard a sneer that seemed to come from the wind, which made his expression stiffen, and he comforted himself: "Normal people can't compare with those monsters, it's good to be more than enough." ”

He muttered something he didn't understand, stepped forward, and pulled the silver nail from his red-hot armor. As the silver nail was pulled out, the wall, which was on the verge of collapse, shattered, revealing a huge gap.

The shattered walls and the armor trapped in them fell into the night sky outside the tower, falling downwards and falling apart in the air.

"Have you climbed that high?"

The cold wind from above poured into the main hall, and Ye Qingxuan stood next to the crack, staring at the clouds outside, looking down...... Then his expression froze.

In the gap between the layers of clouds, Ye Qingxuan clearly saw the noisy and bustling city, under the moonlight, the lights in the city were bright.

Horse-drawn carriages run through the streets.

The majesty of the Uptown, the singing and dancing of the Midtown, and the chaos and noise of the Downtown, the docks are moored with ships that have just arrived here, and the departing cargo ships sound their whistles and make high-pitched sounds, echoing in the night sky.

Such a lively and bustling city, like a pearl blooming at night, makes everyone feel the shock from the bottom of their hearts.

"This is Avalon?"

Ye Qingxuan turned his head sluggishly, feeling the calamity aura in the main hall that was so thick that it couldn't be dissolved, and when he looked at the bustling city beyond the crack, his expression was full of horror that couldn't be dissolved.

I am clearly in the core of the Shadow of Avalon, but why can I overlook the scenery of Avalon through here?

If what I see beyond the crack is not an illusion...... So where are you?

In the shadow?

Still in ...... -

In the same night, in the watch shop, with the crisp sound of ticking, Hermes, who had finished supper, lay on the sofa, comfortably loosened his belt, and his belly bulged quite a bit.

In front of him. A rather quaint floor-to-ceiling mirror is placed.

He lazily propped his chin and squinted at the scene in the mirror, where the shadows of rare and desolate cities and demons flashed, and at last, they were frozen in the perspective of the bird's eye.

In the dark city, demons are surging. The white tower rises into the sky, exuding a strange aura.

"Shadow of Avalon?"

Bai Xi, who was passing by, stood in front of him and knocked on the mirror curiously, "Can you see another world from here?"

"Sorry, no. ”

Hermes shrugged, "But the Shadow of Avalon is never in another world. At the most...... It's just the difference between 'this side' and 'that side'. ”

"What do you mean?"

"If I say, at this very moment, we are in the shadow of Avalon. Would you believe it? Well, you won't.

But that's just the way it is. ”

Hermes smiled his trademark malice, "Everyone knows that with the defeat of King Arthur back then, the sword in the stone fell apart, and the uncontrolled 'Scepter: Heavenly Descending' pulled the fragments of Avalon and fell into the depths of the Aether Sea, burying everything back then, forming the current 'Shadow of Avalon'.

But the shadow will always follow behind the light. How far is Avalon's shadow from Avalon?"

Hermes raised his hand, and the light shone through his arm. left the shadow of his palm on the wall, and the shadow changed with the posture of his palm, but Bai Xi felt shuddered.

The answer is, it's close at hand. ”

Hermes looked at his shadow and pressed his palm against the shadow, as if he had become one with the shadow.

"It's ridiculous. Right?

Throughout Avalon, hundreds of thousands of people lived, died, breathed, ate, slept, coped...... But no one has ever noticed that he is only one step away from the abyss. ”

Hermes looked at her with a happy expression: "You live in the same city as the demons. Passing each other, living in the same house, getting along day and night.

But they don't know each other.

For example, at this moment, there is a spider mother ...... above your head."

Bai Xi's expression suddenly became gloomy, and the dictionary in his hand smashed at Hermes: "You, a heavy cleanliness addict, will tolerate demons in your own house?

"Haha, worthy of being my student!"

Hermes reached out, caught the dictionary with his fat fingers, and laughed.

"Since you have said it, let's make it clear. ”

Bai Xi said coldly: "Don't just sell Guanzi. ”

"I was about to say, don't worry. ”

Hermes shook his head and sighed, his fingers painted in the air, and said:

"The three kings of ancient times called the place where they were located the material realm, and the country where the Great Source was located was called the 'ether realm', with nine layers of the ether sea in between.

But there is no such thing as a long distance between the physical realm and the etheric realm...... Rather, they have long overlapped with each other. The Nine Layers of the Aether Sea connect the two.

The saints used their scepters to compile music theories, and used the invisible realm as a tower, running through the two realms, and accomplishing all kinds of incredible miracles. In the hope that one day, we will be able to enter the Great Source......

King Arthur, of course, was no exception.

In fact, the entire city of Avalon was made by his scepter called 'Coming from Heaven', all in order to increase its power to the maximum.

In this way, King Arthur almost ascended to the position of a demigod.

And when he died, the kingdom of heaven that had descended on earth collapsed, and with him he fell into the depths of the Aetheric Sea, where he slept with the darkness.

In the first few years, whenever the fog enveloped Avalon, the demons that lurked in the shadows had a chance to reappear through that door.

Later, as the Shadows of Avalon sank deeper and deeper into the Aetheric Sea, they grew farther and farther away from this side, and in the end, only the Bloodpath remained. For hundreds of years, only the royal society has quietly used its own blood to open the way in order to hide some unseen secrets.

It's a pity that recently under the pull of some well-intentioned people...... This demonic country, which sank into darkness, gradually awakened again. ”

He paused, his expression twitching, "After all, it's thanks to that-stirring stick."

The Ye family is about to die in the East, and when they reach the West, they still refuse to stop. For thousands of years, there hasn't been a generation of family heads who are normal!, including your cheap big cousin......"

Bai Xi was silent, staring at the world in the mirror, gradually fading away from the immature cheeks and sinking like water, unable to see anything. But Hermes raised an eyebrow: "Worried about him?

Forget it, you might as well worry that your father, who is far away in Yunlou, has finally made up his mind to arrest you back to continue his life in Yunlou.

- His life is harder than yours. ”

Hermes snorted coldly angrily, "Ye Lanzhou was so scheming back then, I don't know how many good things were hidden in him. It's a pity that he did everything he could, and he didn't expect his son to be a dead eye.

It seems to be more indifferent to reality than anyone else, but it is more innocent than anyone else in the stomach. ”

As he spoke, he applied gloatingly, and sighed, "I'm really looking forward to it, when Ye Qingxuan discovers the truth that has been 'deliberately neglected' because of his innocence, how wonderful should his expression be?" )
