Buniel Lang dragged his mangled body through the rubble and rubble, his white armor crumbling and his golden cloak stained with black blood.

A few meters in front of him, General Gore's Mulrom was only half of his body left, and he was about to die.

In the spatial catastrophe detonated by the Lady of Secret, Mulrom, who was close to the center of destruction, suffered the most severe impact, and the small half of his body connected to one hand and one foot was cut off by the rose light blade, revealing the internal organs and spine in his body, and the blood soaked the stone pile beneath him.

"Ha-haha." Bunier got up from the ground, his legs and knees twisted into twisted shapes, trembling like a newborn fawn, "General Mulrom, you look miserable. ”

All that remained of Murom's helmet was a horn, and the Iron Mask was gone. His dull one-eyed eyes glared at Buniel, and his brown beard was stained with clotted blood: "Odryk ......"

"Don't worry, I'll set you free."

Bunier strode close to Mulrom like an old man in his last years. He lifted his left hand, and the iron glove, which was already on the verge of disintegration, suddenly cracked, revealing the arm inside.

Black blood vessels bulge all over the left arm...... Bunier's fingertips seemed to be elongated, his nails turned into thin bone spurs, and a chaotic aura spread, his left hand swelled several times larger than before, and his skin turned dark blue, looking like a demon's claw.

Staring at Bounir's terrifying arm, Mulom gritted his teeth and said, "The Odelik are actually ...... Using demonic powers? Is...... Despicable ......"

In the kingdom of light, Oderick, whether it is in the eyes of the royal family, the academy or the church, demons are evil and dark beings, and they are absolutely taboo to be tainted with.

Therefore, Mulrom could not have imagined that among the swordsmen of the King's Banner Guard, there were members of demonic powers.

"It's a pity...... I originally wanted to borrow this arm to break through the Sage rank, but I can only use it on you......" Bunir looked down at Mulrom, a look of regret in his eyes, "No matter what, Lord Blaze will definitely understand my choice......"

He stretched out his claws and placed them on the head of the mullom, and the dying Gore, of course, did not want to do what he wanted, but they were powerless to resist.

No matter how much he roared and wailed, Mulrom could not break free from the claws of the devil, and his helmet was covered with dark golden streaks, which quickly crawled onto his face and then spread throughout his body.

In a single breath, Mulrom's body turned to sparks and ashes in an invisible burn, while Bunier took a deep breath, his arm returning to its normal shape, and the wounds on his body began to heal slowly.

Somewhere on the other side of the tomb, three court magicians were hiding in a pale house in fear.

This place happens to be outside the confines of the spatial catastrophe, the streets are not twisted or rolled up, and all the buildings are preserved in their entirety.

Even the Lady of the Hidden Lady who unleashed the catastrophe herself did not know that because of her madness, some kind of strange change occurred within the Himereung, causing the process of collapse to come to an abrupt halt.

As a result, the outer parts of the tombs, which had to be scattered in the void one by one, were preserved, but many survivors did not understand the real reason behind this.

"Don't be afraid, Jenny, I'll protect you."

"If you die, I don't want to leave Jiling alive, Jack!"

Archmage Icarus's disciple, Benedict crouched by the window with a depressed face. Listening to the affectionate conversation between the two companions behind him, he couldn't help but sigh.

As a fat man with dignity, he disdained to approach women, and women never tempted him, so he was able to devote himself to the study of magic...... On the other hand, because he is obsessed with magic and neglects to exercise, he becomes fatter and fatter.

Brushing a handful of short brown hair on the top of his head, Benedict turned around and stared at the couple of men and women behind him with small brown eyes: "Jack, Jenny, can you be quiet?" I'm the only one injured, so why does it sound like the two of you are dying? ”

Jenny, who was petite and had delicate features, gave Benedict a serious look.

"Benny, how strong you are, but Jack is different...... His body was so thin, and his fingers were slender and slender......"

"Wait a minute!" The fat on Benedict's face trembled, "What does this have to do with the slender fingers?" ”

The lanky Jack took Jenny into his arms, patted her on the shoulder, and said softly, "My dear, you are so kind and considerate that I am even willing to give up all my achievements on the path of magic in exchange for a short second with you." ”

Ignoring the two men in the corner, Benedict turned away with a dark face and continued to watch the movement on the street.

"Why did I meet these two guys?" Benedict shook his head and sighed, "Exploring the ruins would be as romantic as teaming up with Lord Winter or Lord Harriet. ”

He shuddered at the thought of the fanatical face of a certain Gole.

Half a day earlier, shortly after his encounter with Jack and Jenny, he had encountered a Goller berserker, who called himself Thorne, who was mortally wounded, but terrifyingly powerful, and chased after all three of them like a mad dog.

In order to escape from Thorne, Benedict even had his shoulder slit open with an axe, but fortunately the wound was not deep...... Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to thank this fat body for his protection.

"It's not the way to go." Benedict whispered, "Thorne is still looking for our tracks nearby, and we have nowhere to escape. ”

Behind this building is the ruined area of the Flat River, and unless you drill into the underground grotto, there are no obstacles that can hide your tracks.

Hearing Benedict's words, Jenny's blue eyes showed a hint of fear, and she asked worriedly, "Then what should we do?" ”

Jack resisted the urge to tremble, gritted his teeth, and said, "Maybe we should go to Lord Winter or Lord Poison...... As long as you make peace with them, there is no need to hide in the Himere. ”

He turned his head to look into Jenny's eyes, "How I wish I could be stronger, in order to protect every hair of your-"

"Speak well, Jack! Listen, as soon as we get out of here, Thorne will see us right away. Benedict said frantically, "Besides, even if we find the High Magus or the Pure Angel and the Silver Queen, we may not be able to sit back and relax. ”

He remembered what the teacher had said to him before leaving, and his tone was tinged with a lingering depression: "In the ruins left by the King of Kings, it is not surprising that anything happens, even the Sage may fall. ”

Benedict's relentless splash of cold water scares Jack and Jenny even more, and when they are afraid, they have to say vulgar love things to each other.

Perhaps overwhelmed by the danger of being chased by Thorne, or unable to stand Jack and Jenny's deceitfulness, Benedict sat down and leaned against the window.

"Your Majesty has sent us into the Himeling to find the Heart of Terella, but the Himereung is even more dangerous than we thought - see the ruins? None of the Sages could have caused such a terrifying scene. Benedict said viciously, as if he were venting air on the air, "With all due respect, with the level of our Magisters, it is really difficult to play a role in the Himeling. ”

"What do you mean?" Jack apparently didn't understand what Benedict was saying.

"I mean leave it alone! Leave the task of the Heart of Terrela's mission to the leaders of the group! Benedict said depressedly, "To put it mildly, I think we're just cannon fodder." ”

"But aren't we hiding now?" Jenny said, "We listened to you, and we didn't even get close to the pillar of light." ”

Jack nodded and said, "We can only find a way to delay the time, and when the three-day time limit is up, we can return to Slom." ”

Benedict said with a look of hatred, "I did say that, but the problem is that there is nowhere to hide now!" Damn, I don't know how much of a feud there is, that Gole guy is still looking for us nearby. ”

He paused and said, "So, I am going back to Slom now, and it is better to be punished by His Majesty than to lose my life." ”

Jack and Jenny's eyes lit up.

"Do you have a way to get out?"

Benedict nodded, pulling out a palm-sized sheepskin scroll from his moon-white robe.

"Ahem, before entering the Ji Tomb, the teacher handed me a scroll with a reverse quasi-forbidden spell sealed inside." He said solemnly, "With the [Recall Light of Icarus] in the scroll, we can teleport to the city of Slom, which could theoretically ignore the Void's barriers, and be enough to send dozens of people away together." ”

"Thank goodness, I'm so glad I met you in the Himere, Benny." Jack immediately stood up, and there was already a hint of luck in his expression for the rest of his life, "Since Lord Hakuma gave you such a good thing, then what are you waiting for?" ”

Jenny looked at Benedict with glowing eyes.

"If you are sure that you want to leave the tomb with me, give me your hand." Benedict couldn't help but give a smug look at the two of them, and he placed the scroll on his knees and stretched out his hands.

Tired of fear and running away, Jack and Jenny quickly approached Benedict and grabbed one of his hands...... So Benedict found himself unable to tear open the scroll.

"Hmm...... You two can grab one of my hands. Benedict said with some embarrassment.

After readjusting his posture, Benedict solemnly untied the ribbon on the scroll, spread it out, and injected a trace of magic into the scroll—

A holy glow bloomed from the scroll, and a thousand wisps of white light shot straight through the ceiling into the air, and then disappeared without a trace in an instant, and the room was suddenly empty, except for a blank broken scroll that fell to the ground.

……

Feeling the hazy moonlight and the pleasant evening breeze, the three Benedicts stood on the top floor of a black house, staring at the vast city beneath their feet.

It was a dark city, the streets and buildings were built magnificently, the streets were bustling with pedestrians, their complexions were yellowish, almost all the men wore loose trousers and topless, while the women covered their breasts and private parts with silk or gauze skirts, revealing their hot waists and legs.

"Where is this?" Jack looked at the blood moon above his head, his face blank.

"I don't know." Benedict cried and said, "It's definitely not Slom anyway." ”

"These streets are familiar......," said Jenny, confused, "if they were pale......

As if realizing something terrible, she suddenly couldn't say any more.

In the crimson moonlight, a black tower stood in the corner of the city, and the middle side of the tower was protruding, revealing twelve long doors, which seemed to be a pillar-shaped hall.

The pitch-black tower is preceded by three tall and majestic obsidian statues, which are very eye-catching.

The first statue is of an ordinary old man dressed in cloth, his hands flat on his chest, holding a half-long sword in the hand of Oderick, the tip of which is pointed straight into the sky.

The second statue is of a majestic warrior in heavy armor, his entire face hidden under a double-horned helmet in the Gorerian style, a broad-backed sword in front of him, and his hands resting on the hilt of the sword, exuding a majestic majesty like a king.

The third statue depicts a young man in a thick fur jacket with handsome features, gentle eyes, a strand of hair on the left side of his forehead braided into Gole's pigtail, and a man-tall twisted wooden staff in his right hand, which appears to be a shepherd.

Benedict looked at the first statue with a strange look. A familiar feeling rose from the bottom of his heart, whether it was the old man's facial features or the straight sword, it reminded him of a famous warrior, the former king and knight known as the [Horn of the Sun].

"Don't you think...... Does that old man resemble Lord Connellus? ”

Benedict said with a strange look on his face.
