Changle was still confused when he set off, and when he successfully stood at the "end of the river and the top of the mountain" after several twists and turns, he had basically figured out the ins and outs of the whole thing.

There are signs that there is a mysterious man who has ambitions to become the third ruler of darkness after Solchak and the Dark King, and may even intend to conquer the world with the help of dark creatures.

The Dark King's "King's Suit" is like the King's Seal, which will greatly enhance its power and "legitimacy", and Chang Le only showed the King's Sword to subdue the Withered Vine Ghost Claw, which is enough to prove the great effect of the suit.

The other party didn't know how, but learned that Chang Le had the "King's Suit", and he had concerns about the "Mysterious Master" who lived in seclusion in Paradise Town, so he didn't dare to fight there, so he sneaked up and kidnapped Betty, and coerced Chang Le to come to the Demon Castle alone with the suit.

In this case, instead of summoning the suit, Chang Le put away the King's Sword and used an ordinary steel sword instead.

To deter the creatures of darkness, it's not just the King's Outfit that can be used, as the "Call of Death" ring on his left hand contains the soul of Solchak, and the power of darkness continues to permeate out.

It was the combination of this power and the King's Outfit that allowed Changle to drive away the dark creatures, turning the Misty Mountain Demon Abyss into his own territory, and annihilating the 8,000 Hanhai Iron Horsemen without using a single human warrior.

If Chang Le represents the King of Darkness due to the suit, then today is also a grand meeting of the "Dark Realm", where the three rulers gather for a "great reunion".

The "Dark Glory" suit on Chang Le's body was also showing its power, strictly protecting itself from the invasion of evil spirits, and wherever he went, the black fog on the top of the cliff quickly dissipated, and the ghost cry that accompanied the wind was also significantly weakened.

At the same time, his army of evil spirit bugs was brave and fearless, surging forward like a tidal wave.

Although the evil spirit insect has the name of "worm", its size is not much different from that of a human, just like a human skeleton with only the upper body left, without hands and feet, running and jumping quickly with ribs as legs, and the sharp teeth and bite force are of course far from being comparable to humans.

Regarding their ugly shapes, Changle once asked their creator Solchak curiously.

The Lord of Darkness was smug at this, saying that he was referencing the physiology of insects, and that the skeletal body of the evil spirit insect was actually an "exoskeleton", similar to the hard shell of an insect, and the muscles were all inside.

As for the terrifying appearance, of course, it is intentional, it is also a bug, the skeleton shape is obviously more terrifying than the locust shape, and it can cause panic to the enemy soldiers on the battlefield.

But it is precisely because of the hideous face of the evil spirit worm that Chang Le does not want to be regarded as a demon king by the public, so he never dares to throw it into the human war.

Today is different, the evil darkness of the enemy in the "Demon Castle" does not need to be said, and Changle does not have to have any scruples.

The other party left a message ordering him to "come alone", he was indeed "alone", and he brought another army of evil spirit insects, and the evil spirit insects were not "people".

The Evil Bugs at the front sent back a sharp warning sound, indicating that they had encountered a suspicious target, but these guys were too intelligent to clearly describe the enemy situation.

Changle ordered "encirclement and vigilance", and did not let the legion attack immediately, and some enemies were better dealt with by themselves, so as to subdue high-value targets as much as possible and expand the size of his dark minions.

His current mentality is no longer simply "impostor", and he almost regards himself as the real King of Darkness.

Then, he slowly walked towards the black mist against the strong wind, and his soul power was also widely dispersed, detecting all signs of life.

Anita said that the black fog was by no means a real fog, and it was proven at this moment, otherwise it would have been blown away by the wind long ago.

Equally surprising are the sparkling fireflies in the night sky.

The wind radiated from the center of the castle in all directions, and the wind was so strong that even the birds could not get close, and the "fireflies" were not affected in any way.

Because they are not entities and do not even belong to this world.

They are souls, and they are complete souls!

Countless souls are coming from all over the world to gather towards the "Demon Castle"!

Since Chang Le was able to detect souls, and experienced countless bloody battles, he saw a lot of wandering soul fragments, just like a few scattered feathers after a bird flew away, but the complete soul has always disappeared in a flash, and he doesn't know where to go.

They're here?

Could it be that this is the gate of hell?

Could it be that Sister Xue Firefly's soul is also in the Demon Castle?

Neither Solchak nor Anita could give an answer, Chang Le could only find out the truth by himself, and his steps increased significantly, and even the hand holding the sword was trembling.

The black fog cleared ahead, revealing corpses strewn across the ground.

These corpses were all wearing armor, some rotting, some withered, and swords scattered all around them, and they had been dead for many days.

The armor system is familiar, Changle has just fought him at the Battle of Cessnek, and they are all Zaran hoplites.

However, there are steep cliffs guarded by withered vines and ghost claws, how did these soldiers climb up in heavy armor?

A sneer suddenly appeared at the corner of Chang Le's mouth, and he stepped over the corpse and continued to move forward.

At the foot is a vast open field, which has obviously been artificially transformed, and the natural top of the mountain cannot be so flat.

There seems to be a magic circle in the clearing, the texture is similar to a large ring set of "H" shapes, but the turbulence of energy that causes the wind has nothing to do with this magic circle, it is more similar to the Devil's Cry Mountain back then, from the depths of the earth.

Chang Le's footsteps did not stop, and the black fog in front of him also dispersed like a low tide, and the true face of the "Evil Ghost Castle" finally appeared.

The walls are so tall that it is difficult to look up, and there are no traces of masonry joints, as if they were carved out of a single boulder.

The iron-clad wooden gates had long since decayed, twisted and crooked aside.

But the gates were still not allowed to be trespassed, because a magnificent chair was placed in the middle of the gate.

A man sat in gorgeous heavy armor, wearing a crown on his head, holding a sword in front of him, bowing his head slightly, silent.

It would be strange if he could speak, because he was already a dead man, the same as the corpses on the ground before.

"King Zaran, Leonardo IV!" Chang Le pondered for a moment and muttered the identity of the other party.

The army of Zaran, which was completely annihilated by the dark forces, turned out to be here!

At that moment, there was the sound of footsteps behind him, slow, dragging and mixed with the sharp sound of metal grinding.

Chang Le didn't look back to know that those corpses had already stood up and were staggering with big swords, and a low roar came from their throats, quite like the difficult gasps of a living person before he died.

Chang Le waved his hand to stop the Evil Spirit Worm Legion's enthusiastic pursuit of battle, his eyes still staring at the dead man wearing the crown in front of him.

Not surprisingly, he had already detected the soul fire that belonged to the dark creatures, and the king and his men had become immortal walking corpses.

The king was motionless, but his clear thoughts came into Chang Le's mind:

"The gates of hell, no trespassing!"

"Your Majesty, do you remember who you are, and do you remember the voices of your wife and children?"

"The gates of hell, no trespassing!"

The king tossed and turned with only one thought.

Changle Sword Finger:

"I am the King of Darkness, and you should serve me!"

The king slowly raised his head at this time, and a crimson flame suddenly ignited in his empty eyes:

"Death to the trespasser!"

As soon as these words came out, the king leaped up from his seat, and his two-handed sword slashed down in the air, and the momentum far exceeded his strength before his death.

"Kill!" Chang Le also roared and waved his sword to block, this shout was not only for his own strength, but also for the command of the legion.

But the intersection of the two swords made Chang Le's arms numb, and he could barely hold the weapon, so he had to dodge sideways, and swept his opponent's back with a turn.

The result of this kick was even more embarrassing, he seemed to have kicked the iron plate, the whole person lost his balance and staggered out, the king's body was like a mountain, he did not move at all, his head turned one hundred and eighty degrees, and he glared fiercely at the opponent behind him.

Immediately afterward, the king's head did not move, his body spun violently, and the greatsword slashed like the blades of a windmill, and even the wind around him could not hide the scream of the blade breaking through the air.

The main generals of the two sides started fighting, and the legions naturally immediately mixed together.

The king's undead warriors were slow to move, swinging their swords and repeatedly slashing into the air, but they were avoided by the clever evil spirit worms, but their greatest advantage was "immortality", even if the evil spirit worms bit through their armor and tore off their carrion, they still could not stop them from continuing to fight.

This melee is very different from the human soldiers, and it is a difficult and bitter battle in which neither side can easily kill the other.

The same is true of Chang Le's situation.

Although the king is much more agile than his subordinates, he is still a "slow" word in Chang Le's eyes.

However, people are not afraid of slowness, the skin around the body is like iron, the muscles are like steel, the hardness and toughness are sensational, Chang Le swings the sword with all his strength and slashes it, cutting into an inch at most, and the blade will be stuck and difficult to pull out.

And the heavy sword that the king cleaved, as long as Chang Le really took a hit, he would inevitably be cut in two.

If you don't count the speed, just look at the strength and defense, the king has the strength to surpass the peak battle spirit, and it is difficult to defeat any top cultivator in the Eastern Continent.

What's more, this guy still has incredible weight, saying that he is "like a mountain", it is really not a metaphor, every time he steps out, he can leave a deep mark on the hard rock ground, Changle kicks him hard but can only shock himself.

This is Chang Le, his own strength is strong, and he also brings the dark army, if it is replaced by a human army to deal with such a monster, not to mention the huge casualties, I am afraid that he will scream and run the whole army in fright.

But did the king really have no memory of his life?

Changle quickly walked through the opponent's side while trying to communicate ideas.

"Your kingdom is about to be taken away, and your son is luring wolves into your house, and you still have the leisure to help the doorkeepers? Who will pay you?"

"Hell's Gate, trespassers die!" replied with the same sentence.

Changle had to turn to Solchak, who replied contemptuously:

"The power of darkness is beyond the comprehension of mortals, and since this person has been transformed, he will be loyal to the Lord of Darkness forever!"

It's probably equivalent to a soul servant, Chang Le can only explain himself like this.

He originally had a glimmer of hope that he wanted to reverse the transformation of the walking corpse into a living person, but since he couldn't do it and couldn't take it in, he could only completely destroy Leonardo IV and give the king real relief.

Fortunately, the "Dark Glory" is in play, and once Chang Le sends out a fighting impact, waves of faint energy will emerge from the armor, and it will ripple warmly around.

This energy not only dispelled the black fog in the air, but also dimmed the blood-colored flames in the king's eyes.

Along with the dimming of the flame in his eyes was a decline in power.

After all, the king was not very powerful during his lifetime, and most of his strength came from the blessing of dark forces.

The light energy of Changle's "Dark Glory" set is constantly eroding, and it is also banishing the darkness from the king's soul.

At this moment, Chang Le suddenly understood Uncle Blacksmith's words, "Dark Glory", as the Dark Knight Commander Suit, is the symbol of the Demon King's guard, and the object that needs to be restrained the most is not the gods of the heavenly realm, but the unruly and powerful dark creatures around the Demon King.

The more this is the case, the more Chang Le has to be close, risking his mistake and losing his life to get close to the other party's soul, at this time his armor is more threatening than a sword, directly hitting the opponent's real weakness!

The king's footsteps gradually staggered, and black blood began to flow from the slashes on his body, and his body became soft, and he could penetrate it with a single sword.

Chang Le has a chance to cut off the other party's head, even if the king who loses his head is not dead, he should not be able to fight, and the brain of a higher animal directs the movements of the whole body, this kind of "scientific" common sense does not need to be said more by Anita.

But he chose to continue the "purification."

Eventually, the king roared, and the greatsword fell to the ground, holding his head in both hands.

Chang Le took the opportunity to leap up and hugged him into his arms, and the bright energy on his armor was full of energy, sending out a final impact.

The remaining red light in Leonardo IV's eyes vanished, and his face turned gray, no different from that of a real dead man, but there was a sparkle in his eyes.

He choked in his throat:

"Hey......"

"Can you still become normal?" Chang Le asked with a little curiosity.

The king is still "......"

Chang Le smiled and said:

"You don't have to force yourself to speak, try to communicate with your mind. ”

Sure enough, although the king has lost his power, he is still a dark creature, and he can continue to connect with Chang Le.

Leonardo didn't want to say "hey", but "Elliott".

"It was Elliott who killed me!"

"It's Elliott? Could the outbreak of the source of darkness also be Elliot's conspiracy? It's ridiculous that your son and your people still use Elliot as a benefactor!"

"You have set me free, may the God of Light bless you. ”

When the king uttered this exclamation, his face had turned pale and gray, indistinguishable from a dead man, and in fact, he had not taken a breath since he had regained his senses, and was not a living man at all.

Chang Le sighed:

"Go in peace, I will tell your son the truth about your murder. ”

"Who are you, and I will praise your kindness forever when I go to heaven!"

"My name is Chang Le, you've probably heard of it......"

Chang Le had just answered half a sentence, and the king's already closed eyes suddenly widened:

"You're Changle! You're Changle! Sesnek's Battle is your ......"

Chang Le nodded with a wry smile, 180,000 allied troops were destroyed in his hands, including at least 100,000 Zaran soldiers, King Leonardo was afraid that he hated him to the bone, but he didn't expect that "enemies met" on such an occasion.

The king struggled and raised a hand to grab Chang Le's arm:

"Only you! Only you can defeat Elliott! Please! save them, save my people!"

Chang Le was stunned:

"Your people, how can it be my turn to save me? I'm in Haviland, and I'm still separated by Fisher. ”

The king persevered with all his last strength and tried to uncover Elliot's plot, but Heaven did not give him enough time.

At the last moment, King Leonardo's mind had begun to weaken and be confused, and he could only raise his hand in front of Changle's eyes:

"Ring, Ring......"

Chang Le took off the ring as he said and found that it was nothing special except for being more delicate and luxurious, with a slight fluctuation of magic.

A faint smile appeared on the king's face:

"Ring, give her ......"

"To whom?"

"Queen, Claire, my most beloved, the most beautiful ...... in the world"

"Oh!"

The king's last words turned out to be about the world, not about revenge, but about love.

But Chang Le was wrong, and the king stared at him the next moment:

"My last words have been engraved in the ring, Claire will understand everything! My son is cowardly, only Claire is strong enough, only she can take the throne to protect the kingdom and the people!"

The faint magic fluctuation of the ring was actually used to record information, Chang Le nodded when he heard this:

"Don't worry, I'll do it as soon as possible. ”

The king finally became serene, and finally smiled and glanced at Chang Le:

"If you can help Claire and defeat Elliot, I'm in heaven...... Pray for you...... My benefactor......"

After saying that, Leonardo IV's body sank and passed away suddenly.

Chang Le could see the other party's soul fire leaving his body, and unexpectedly did not rush towards the "Gate of Hell", but flew away towards the distant sky in the direction of the 10,000 fireflies in the air.

It seems that the human soul does have a different place, and even Anita, who believes in "science", believes this.

This king believed in the light and went to heaven when he died.

If one day Changle can fly, and the speed is fast enough, I really want to chase the soul fire and see what heaven is like.

And now, he needs to go to hell himself!
