Chapter 55: A Conspiracy Across the Ages
Scarlet Castle.
Sophia and Evan were walking down the stone steps when the sound of "tick-tock" water drops could be heard not far away.
"It's really dark and damp in here. Evan descended the stone steps, and in front of him was a large egg-shaped cavern, the top of which was supported by several thick stone pillars, and there was some water on the ground, which seemed to seep out of the stone wall.
This is a corner that has been forgotten forever by the world, and it is also a piece of history that has been pinched away.
In the center of the vast cavern was a half-human-tall pale yellow crystal, emitting a faint glow.
"Emperor Jing!" Sophia recognized it, and it turned out that the Emperor Jing, who had been missing for several epochs, was hiding here. However, the energy emitted by the Crystal Emperor now was not strong, but rather looked rather weak, like an oil lamp about to run out.
"Where did your energy go?" Sophia observed in disbelief as the crystal emperor was squeezed dry to become like this.
"Who is it..."Behind the Crystal Emperor, a woman's hoarse voice came from the darkest part of the cave.
"Eurynoma!" Sophia rushed towards with a spirit. Closer to the stone wall, she finally met the person she had been looking for for years.
"Eurynoma, isn't that the name of the second generation of the Guardian?" Avan was startled by the name and hurriedly followed, could it be that the woman who appeared in the dream was her?
The eyes of the woman under the stone wall were gouged out, and her fair skin was covered with scars. She was on her knees, her feet spread out, her hands bound by chains thick from the mouth of the bowl, and her wrists bruised. Her blue-silver armor was shattered, half of her body was blood-red, and her hair was long, dirty, and cobweb-cluttered, and she looked dying.
"You areโ" Eurynom seemed to sense the elemental aura on the person who came, and her lips couldn't help but tremble violently, "Mother... Is that you..."
"Daughter, I knew you were still alive!Come, I'm going to get you out!" Sophia clenched her fists and smashed the chains with a single punch.
Sophia, the birth mother of the second generation of Aegis Guardians?Evan finally understood why Sophia was desperate to find the Night Phantom.
"No, no, Mother, get out of here, it's a trap, get out of here... Ahem..."The unchained Eurynomer collapsed into Sophia's arms, gasping for air.
"Now that you're here, do you think you'll be able to walk?" a man's voice echoed in the cavern, and the stone steps at the entrance disappeared into the air.
"You imprisoned Eurynoma, so daring!" shouted Sophia, looking up for the source of the sound.
"Yes, I did it, what can you do to me? Eurynoma, it seems that you still lost to me in the end. The man's voice was erratic, as if it were coming from every inch of rock on the stone wall.
"Nightshade, Mother, why did you bring it!" Eurynomer inadvertently touched the black sword that Sophia had hidden in her velvet coat with her hand, and the rust spots on it had completely disappeared, revealing its original touch.
"Through it, we know your situation, so we can find you. Evan explained.
"In the Battle of Iron Rock City, at the last moment when my humanity was still not extinguished, I used the only remaining strength to completely seal away the breath of the Night Ghost, and then threw it into the starry sky... Ahem... How can you still feel itโ" Eurynoma's voice became even hoarse.
"I've been waiting for an epoch, a full epoch!Finally made me wait for this day!!" The man's voice became more and more urgent, "Eurynom, although the Night Charm was sealed away by you, its flame has not been extinguished, and this young man who appeared at the right time has a special ability to awaken the Night Charm, and it is a gift from God, hahaha!"
"Unseal the power of the Holy Shield... No way, no one can be above the power of the shield!" Eurynomer gripped Evan's right hand excitedly, and then fell into shock.
"Ah, it hurts. Evan retracted his right hand in pain, and there was a steaming spell in his palm.
"That dream was deliberately constructed for me by the Night Ghost?" Evan suddenly remembered something, he thought back to every midnight, when the Night Ghost tried to encroach on his mind, and in the secret forest, when he tried to completely control his body after the lockdown was lifted.
"As Leah said, I should have thrown it away sooner. Evan reproached himself, he couldn't remember why he was so obsessed with the sword in the first place.
"Actually, I can't blame you, the Night Ghost was originally a sealed sword made by my Silver Shield City, used to deal with the guardians of the Relic Forest, Iskars, ahem... But what I didn't expect was that someone actually added a hidden forbidden spell to the Night Charm..."Eurynoma's lips were bloodless, "When I sealed the first Iscal, the spell was triggered..."
"Say, go on, say it out loud, that night, how you slaughtered the innocent people of Iron Rock City, as well as the three holy envoys of the blade, hahaha!" The man's voice became distorted, even a little crazy, "The tears under the moon are not in vain!"
"Whoosh!" Night Charm suddenly unsheathed and plunged straight into the Crystal Emperor.
The brand-new sword body began to melt, and countless souls burst out of it, instantly filling the entire egg-shaped cavern. There were hordes of Iskar and quite a few humans in the spirits, and among them were three young women in silver robes.
"Luna, Emma, Filsa!" Eurynomer felt the breath, broke free from Sophia's embrace, and crawled in front of them, begging incessantly, "Forgive me, forgive me, forgive me..."
"Lord Guardian, it's not your fault, we've always trusted you. The silver-robed woman at the front smiled slightly, and her voice swept through everyone present like a spring breeze, and also took away the cloudy tears in the eyeless sockets of Eurynome.
"Boom!" A magic circle suddenly appeared on the ground beneath the Crystal Emperor, and it quickly cracked, and the Crystal Emperor and all the souls were instantly sucked into the cracks on the surface.
"Wake up! Dragon Slayer Golem!" The surface that had absorbed the soul could no longer suppress the surging energy, and with a loud rumbling sound, a huge golem with tens of meters of outstretched wings broke through the ground and gradually appeared in the bright light.
The golem's face has no facial features, and the naturally formed rock patterns make it seem to come to life, giving it a strange appearance. At the same time, its chest was inlaid with the Crystal Emperor, and it was emitting amazing energy, and the Night Phantom dissipated the energy of the Sealed Soul and turned into a pile of loose sand.
"What kind of monster is this!" Evan exclaimed, fortunately he had experienced the attack of the blind dragon and Sophia's giant kangaroo before, otherwise he would have been scared to pee his pants.
"Eurynom, I didn't expect that the dragon slayer golem, which could easily kill any ancient dragon, could use this supreme masterpiece of the five witches of Kuishan to capture you, at the cost of almost exhausting all the energy of the Crystal Emperor, but thanks to your merits, now the energy of the golem has been refilled, even stronger than before, hahaha!" The man's voice echoed in the cave, lasting for a long time.
"Dragonslayer Golem..."Sophia looked at the Golem in front of her in shock, so frightened that she was almost speechless. Of course, this golem knew that this was the finest and most outstanding work created by the Five Witches of Kuishan, and it was designed to fight the evil dragons born during the Chaos Period.
In the cracks in the ground, the light shone again, and a black spear slowly floated up.
"Black Spear !!" Eurynoma recognized this weapon, it was clearly the Black Spear used by the original Aegis Guardian Altinis Moon Shadow in "The Battle of the Black Swamp", and it was known as the Extreme Weapon!
"The dragon slaying golem is paired with an extreme weapon, who can stop me!Sophia, you will also become part of the power of the golem!"
"Macapus!" Sophia's velvet coat flew out, transforming into a giant heavily armed kangaroo in an instant.
"Sophia, calm down. "Maccapus took on a posture to meet the enemy. Sophia's mood swings greatly reduce her ability to fight cooperatively as a tracker.
"Golem, devour them for me!" the man commanded. Then the golem's head opened a gap, and a powerful suction force gradually formed in the gap.
"Ahh
"Drink!" Maccapus smashed one of the pillars in the cavern with a punch, and the pillar was sucked into the gap in the golem, instantly crushed into rubble.
"Damn, this monster is a bit strong!" Macapus stood in front of Sophia's group like a mountain, the hair on his body sucking into the ground with both fists, but still moving towards the golem at an increasing speed.
If you continue like this, sooner or later you will be sucked in by the golem!
"Give up the struggle, even a dragon flying in the air will be swallowed by the golem, hahaha!" The man's voice was still crazy, and he was very satisfied with the work.
"Zizi..."A small gap suddenly opened behind Sophia, a spatial gap created by Eurynoma at the cost of exhausting the remaining lives.
"There's no chance of winning, Mother... Ahem... I can't last long, run..."Eurynome was so weak that she could not speak, she was like a boat in a storm on the sea, ready to be swept to the bottom of the sea at any moment.
"My daughter, how could my mother leave you? Sophia put her arms around Eurynom and stroked her long hair, and two clear tears dripped down unconsciously.
"Boy, go to Silver Shield City to find the light!" Eurynomer shook his hand vigorously, and Evan flew upside down into the gap in space.
"Lord Guardian!" Aven in the alternate dimension shouted hysterically as he looked at the smaller and smaller rift in the space.
At the last moment when the rift closed, Evan saw the golem devouring them, and the golem grabbed the black spear and flew through the top of the cavern.
