The two of them made their way unhindered, and they did not encounter any other traps or enemy ambushes, and when they finally stepped on the dirt on the top of the mountain, a strong gust of wind suddenly blew, stirring the dense evil energy in the air. Xiao Fan's hair was blown messy, she brushed aside the hair in front of her, and saw a man's figure standing in the purple pillar of light that soared into the sky, the figure raised his hands high, as if he was carrying out some crazy sacrificial ritual.
"That's it, that guy. Xiao Fan said to Senia beside him.
"The culprit who built that huge circle in the sky, if nothing else, is him, and you follow me, because it's not sure if there are any other enemies nearby. Senia said.
She set up her spear and approached the figure standing in the center of the pillar of light at a speed that was neither fast nor slow, and at the same time, there was a lot of movement around her, and Xiao Fan followed closely behind Senia as before.
But Xiao Fan didn't move forward like Senya while parting part of his attention to the surroundings, just looking at the gradually enlarged figure with a nervous mood, and finally about to meet, close contact with the person who summoned his brother's soul.
She vaguely felt that there were more than two footsteps echoing around her, and there was a slight barely audible footsteps attached to the left rear of her side, Xiao Fan thought that it was her brother's footsteps, and she didn't know why she was so sure, but she just felt that it must be her brother's last remaining will that ran out of her heart, and her brother may be the same as herself, and she couldn't help but want to see that person, see the person who manipulated his soul wantonly, and firmly believed that he wanted to make a break with that person with his own hands.
But when she turned her head to look, all she saw was an empty and desolate scene, and there was no shadow of her brother at all, but the moment she turned her head back, the third footsteps belonging to her brother rang in her ears again.
"When the battle starts for a while, I will play the striker, your strength is not suitable, just assist me on the side. Senia softly conveyed the combat policy to Xiao Fan, although it was a combat policy, it was just a simple sentence, and the assignment of their respective tasks was simple and clear.
"yes, I see. Xiao Fan nodded.
As they got closer, there were still no other enemies lying in ambush around them, and they could already see the inside of the pillar of light more clearly, and the tall and sturdy silhouette of the figure was also clearly presented in front of the two, indicating that it was a man with a strong physique.
Xiao Fan swallowed her saliva, she always felt that a certain range centered on men seemed to open some special enchantment, and they had stepped into the edge of that enchantment, when the two approached a certain distance, a strange feeling that made people feel extremely disgusted and disgusted collided in Xiao Fan's brain, and the air around him became more depressing, Xiao Fan always felt that strange sounds kept ringing in his ears, like crying, like wailing, like telling of pain, those voices came from all directions, like ghosts breathing in his earsγ This made Xiao Fan involuntarily more nervous, she felt like she was walking on the banks of the River Styx.
"Coming from the back of the mountain, it seems that Wippwhite has failed, what a person who doesn't have them, I was still holding them to completely intercept all the elements that would affect me, so that I could enjoy this wonderful experience more. The figure in the pillar of light uttered a deep male voice, and he turned, "First meeting, ladies, my name is Daisos. β
The two of them saw each other's appearance clearly at this time, and sure enough, their strong bodies, even if they were wearing clothes, they still couldn't completely block the lines of the muscles in the clothes, but although the man was strong, he didn't give people a feeling of being too bloated, the man's long black hair was draped on his back, and the hair gave people a feeling like a sharp steel wire, his expression was resolute, but the corners of his mouth had a flirtatious smile.
"The accident that happened on the cliff was indeed caused by your people, but it seems that that person is not here now. Senia opened a conversation with a straight face.
"Probably there was some special circumstance, if nothing else, he should have confirmed the life and death of the attacker and returned," said Dessos, "should I say that it is indeed worthy of the knights of the moonlit night, he should have dragged you down, but it turned out that he was delayed, and you two ladies took advantage of the opportunity to enter." β
"In my opinion, your actions are simply a mantis arm as a car, a planless move, and what you are trying to challenge in vain is the entire Moon Night Realm. Senia said.
"That's why we, no, it's them, chose to take this way, using the forbidden art of this huge project to gain forces that can rival the entire Moonlit Night Knights. Dessos said.
"Shameless, do you know what you're doing?" Senya's hands holding the spear tightened.
"Whether it's shame or whatever, whatever you want to say about my actions," said Dessos, "but my brain is clear, and of course I know what I'm doing, very clearly, very clearly." β
"I'm just, just enjoying it, enjoying what it's like to be alive. Dessos grinned, and the smile made Xiao Fan feel infiltrated.
"Enjoyment? What are you talking crazy about, you take the act of wantonly manipulating other people's souls as a kind of enjoyment?" the other party's words made Senia a little surprised, she was surprised that there were still people in the world who had such a crazy mentality, and the other party seemed to be proud of it, and the banter on her lips never faded, which made her even more angry.
I don't think I'm talking to a madman. β
Senia's spear lit the ground, a crisp collision was like a switch, magic gushed out, emitting a crystal light blue light, the bottom of the spear was like an outlet, and the water bubbled from it, quickly forming a puddle at Senia's feet, and the water flowed rapidly and rotated.
Three jets of turbulent water suddenly emerged from the puddle, and they were three streams of water, with a stout and long body, a dragon's head-like head, and a blue glow of magic in its eyes.
Water pedigree, blue water python. Three water snakes, like pythons.
Senia did not choose to fight directly in close combat, because the opponent's calm performance showed that the opponent was confident that he would be able to attack one against two, and an easy attack was likely to fall into the trap of the opponent, so she gave priority to using magic long-range attacks at first, wanting to test the opponent.
The three water snakes opened their mouths wide and bit at Dessos with a fierce attitude.
However, Daisus still indifferently watched the water snake continue to approach him, and just when the three big mouths were already close to him, several black shadows suddenly flashed, and then the three water snakes burst open in turn, turning into a puddle of splash.
"What?" Senia looked surprised, because she didn't see clearly what was dissolving her water snake in an instant, she kept staring at the man, trying to see through the other party's actions, but until the water snake burst through, the man didn't make the slightest action at all, blocking her attack from something else.
What made her even more puzzled was that before that, she had not noticed any other magic fluctuations from the place around the man, until a few seconds before the water snake burst, three magic fluctuations with the same power as the man appeared out of thin air, as if they were juggling.
Senya's heart sank, this time, a new magic fluctuation appeared out of thin air, but this time, it appeared behind her.
"Be careful. Senia immediately turned around and retreated to Xiao Fan's side, not to dodge, but to protect Xiao Fan, judging from the position where the magic appeared, the other party obviously saw that Xiao Fan was more weak, and chose it as a breakthrough in the battle.
The surrounding ground shook, as if something sleeping in the ground had awakened, and the cracks cracked in the ground everywhere, as if opening a passage connecting the underground and the outside world, and then a black shadow swooped out from each passage, coming rapidly.
Xiao Fan obviously didn't react in time, and she, like Senia, has always focused on the man, but the two of them have fallen into a misunderstanding, they saw that the man did not have the slightest sign of action, so they thought that the other party had not launched an attack, and then attacked, and it had already appeared quietly in the place where they were negligent.
Senia pulled Xiao Fan to her side, clinging to herself, and then danced the spear in her hand, the water formed by the magic power wrapped around the spear, and the spearhead swept through and brought out the trajectory of the water splash, knocking back all the black shadows that rushed from all directions to the ground.
Only then did Xiao Fan see the true face of those dark shadows, those were people, they were the same moonlit knights as Senya, they were all wearing armor that could prove their identity, but the armor was worn and dirty, like an old object, and those knights' faces were pale and bloodless, and their eyes were filled with the same purple light as the magic of Daisos, and their movements were clumsy but fierce, like predatory beasts, without any norms.
Xiao Fan suddenly remembered that before leaving the Jing Court, the enemies he saw along the way who had invaded the inside of the Jing Court, they also had the same appearance as the people in front of him, and they all let out a beast-like wail, which was not a normal person's behavior at all.
The power of Dessos is to manipulate the souls of the dead, so these knights in front of him are also dead people, and they are the knight predecessors who have long been buried in the earth and should have returned to the west to sleep peacefully.
When they were alive, they fulfilled their duties and missions as knights, and their souls should have been liberated, but they were re-imprisoned by the man with cruel forbidden arts, and turned into weapons without self-will.
"It's excessive. Xiao Fan couldn't help but exclaim softly, even if she didn't have the perception like Suzu, she felt that she could feel the pain and sorrow emanating from the bodies of those dead knights, who were forced to do the most unwilling thing they wanted, completely against their faith, and their hideous faces seemed to be about to shed bloody tears.
"For as long as I enjoy it, you can just play with these immortal dolls, oh yes, they're already dead, so they won't die again. Dessos, who was not far away, spoke.
"You call them dolls?" Senya glared angrily, "they are all ancestors who should be respected and admired by everyone after their dutiful death, and this world can go on for a few days, and their efforts are indispensable to this, but you insult them like this, and bring their dignity with contemptuous words." β
"You're a nuisance. β
"No matter how much you dislike me, a person's dislike or liking is of no use to me," said Dessos, "and it seems to me that all the dead are the same, whether they were heroes admired by all in their lifetime or despised sinners, and when they die they are nothing but dolls, and they can no longer act of their own will, nor can they be used or even refute them." β
As the conversation progressed, the zombie-like knights who had been knocked to the ground stood up again, their movements clumsy and haphazard, really like puppets that had been manipulated, their limbs and bodies swaying irregularly, sneaking up on Xiao Fan's four, plus the two who had been knocked down by the water snake before, a total of six enemies pounced again like the two of them.
"Although I am not 100% convinced, but this guy even has to rely on these manipulated people to protect himself, think in another direction, it shows that he does not have any powerful abilities, if he is entangled with these enemies who will not be knocked down here, then our mission will not be completed at all," Senia said to Xiao Fan, "Listen, like I just said, I play the striker, you assist behind me, follow my pace, we bypass these manipulated people, to attack the man himself." β
"I see. Xiao Fan nodded.
