【Outer Corridor of the Endless Corridor】

Click, click, click

There was the sound of footsteps in the cavern, and Cassieu and Lynn were heading deeper into the cavern. The corpses and vines of soul beasts could be seen everywhere around the cave, and the smell of death permeated the entire area. Perhaps because of time, the corpses of the soul beasts on the ground and the withered vines could no longer distinguish whether they were vines or corpses. Occasionally, some light flickered in the dark air, adding a mysterious brilliance to the dark cave and filling the loneliness of the night, an insect called Kebi, which usually lives on the periphery of the cave and preys on the corpses of soul beasts for a living.

"This time, Lord Bishop ordered us to check the detection equipment on the periphery of the Endless Corridor, you had better settle down, just don't trouble me, we are now on the periphery of the Endless Corridor, although there is not much threat, but we can't take it lightly, if we meet a group of soul beasts, the consequences will be unimaginable. "A bearded man who looked to be in his thirties, wearing silver armor and a long sword at his waist and on his back. With short silver-gray hair, his eyes were attentive but showed a hint of melancholy, and he was holding the spotlight at this time, carefully observing the surroundings, and said to the young man behind him.

"Don't worry, Ka Xiu, with your strength, it's absolutely no problem, besides, just now, along the way, you didn't easily get so many soul beasts, but the periphery of this endless corridor is dark and damp, and there are corpses of soul beasts everywhere, emitting a foul smell, I don't want to stay here for a moment" The young man was wearing a piece of chain mail to show his powerful shoulders, carrying a worn-out giant sword, short black hair and charming eyes, his eyes were shining like stars, and he said impatiently after Ka Xiu.

"I really don't know what Lord Bishop thinks, he actually came to the endless corridor with a little ghost like you, you must know that this was once the place where the [Abyss Lord-Prometheus] was born, and it was also the place where the [Great Sage-Michael] and [Abyss Lord-Prometheus] fought, and it was known as a battle in the Battle of Doomsday," Cassius said without looking back, still holding the spotlight.

"I didn't think Cassieu knew so much, so what happened in the end," Lynn asked urgently, perhaps because the boredom of the mission had piqued his curiosity.

"It was a battle that meant the survival of mankind, Michael and his apostles [Heavenly Messenger - Raphael] and [Earth Messenger - Lucifer] led the Exorcist Guild to the Endless Corridor, Michael finally succeeded in sealing Prometheus, the human race won, but also paid a heavy price, alas, maybe without the Great Sage - Michael the human race would have perished long ago" Cassius said meaningfully, and then fell into deep thought, as if recalling some memories.

"Cassiu, what are you thinking, how do you feel like you're hiding something and not saying" Lynn looked at Cassiu, waiting for a reply.

"Alas, he is a sinner and my mentor, no one knows about it in this Arthur continent, [Sword God - Sotros], he doesn't want to mention anything to him, as the years go by, he has long been forgotten by people, maybe he no longer exists in this world" Cassiu stopped his steps, clenched the spotlight, and sighed.

"Sword God - Sotros! No, I didn't expect him to be your master, I heard that Sotros has reached the pinnacle in swordsmanship, and his swordsmanship has reached the realm of unrivaled, I really can't imagine that Cassiu, you are usually taciturn, you are the apprentice of such a powerful person" Lin was very surprised when she heard Cassiu's words.

"Let's keep going, there are no problems with the previous few detection instruments, this time the bishop asked us to be in charge of the inspection of the instruments, only the last few instruments are left, it is important to complete the task quickly" Cassius seemed unwilling to continue, and began to speed up his pace.

"Cassiu, you wait for me" Lin knew Cassiu's character, and didn't continue to ask, following Cassiu's footsteps.

The two of them were still walking on the periphery of the Endless Corridor, the spotlight in their hands glowing faintly, like a match about to be extinguished, and it would be swallowed up by the darkness of the Endless Corridor at any moment

【Cruise Shichiyokai Stronghold】

At this time, the sun had already risen, shining a golden light, enveloping the towns of the Cruise region in a peaceful and gentle golden light. From the window, you can see a straight road paved with gray-white rocks, and the road looks old, and has been caressed into a delicate and smooth stone surface by the wind and rain and the years. Shops are already starting the day on both sides of the road, and the abundance of vegetables and fruits and goods is particularly attractive in the golden light, and from time to time there are pedestrians carrying packages of various shapes and sizes shuttling through the road, and occasionally horse-drawn carriages carrying the wine and spices of the Cruise region pass through the town's roads, exuding a charming fragrance. It's a day in the morning at Cruise, and while it's the same, it's still a lingering feeling.

At this time, a boy who seemed to be about twenty years old, dressed in priest's robes, with dark blue eyes and orange-yellow hair, looked particularly solemn and charming, standing in front of the window, not caring about the scenery outside the window, just looking into the distance, as if thinking about something.

"Cassius and Lynn have been gone for four or five days, and it seems that Jig you are still a little worried" Not far from Jig sat a boy about his age, wearing a white trench coat, wearing a protective eye patch on his head, and eyebrows like a scimitar under his black hair, sitting on a chair at this time, with his hands crossed and his head nestled on it, and he seemed to look very leisurely.

"I just have some bad premonitions, as if something is about to happen!" said Giger, still motionless, with a solemn expression.

"Giger, I said that you usually like to draw inferences and say a lot of truths, don't worry, with Cassiu by Lynn's side, there shouldn't be any big problems, don't think too much, we'll just wait here for them to come back" Waltz still sat leisurely in his chair, impatiently said.

"I'm not particularly worried about any danger to them, but I think this time the energy fluctuations seem to be different from usual, if it is really as I think, then Lin and Cassiu may really be very lucky!" Giger looked preoccupied, and the golden light shone on his serious face.

"Gig, I said you're thinking too much, anyway, won't you see it when they come back" Waltz began to get a little impatient, and got up and walked in the direction of Giger's station.

"That's the crux of the matter, I'm just afraid they won't be able to go back!"

Waltz walked to Gig's side, looked at Gig's worried look, sighed, and said

"Okay, okay, I'll accompany you to find them now, but say in advance, you are responsible for opening the way in front, and I am responsible for being the tour guide"

"Alas, you guy, you are really at ease, rest assured, knowing that you are weak in combat, you can follow me," Gig said and walked towards the door

"Hey Jige, where is my combat power weak, you must know that I am the most outstanding and young and handsome great inventor in the Baider Empire, hey Jige, don't go, are you listening to me?" Waltz angrily followed Gig, who was about to leave.

【Outer Corridor of the Endless Corridor】

Cassieu and Lynn were still walking towards the depths of the Endless Corridor, the sound of footsteps echoing around them. The cave was still so dark except for the corpses of soul beasts and the intricate vines, although the spotlight emitted a faint light, which could illuminate the surroundings, but I didn't know where this winding and deep cave led.

Cassius was still vigilant, carefully observing his surroundings, and the spotlight in his hand could provide him with enough vision, but the threat lurking in the depths of darkness could extinguish the faint light at any moment. Cassiu stopped suddenly, as if thinking about something. And Lynn stopped.

"Hey Cassiu, what's the matter, don't you keep going, is it already checked" Lynn asked anxiously, perhaps because she looked a little uneasy in the dark cavern.

"Strange, why is it so quiet" Cassius was extremely calm at this time, and it could be seen from his face that he seemed to be thinking about something at this time, and he was not so uneasy.

"What's going on, what are you talking about, why don't I understand at all" Lin didn't dare to continue to bother Cassiu, perhaps because it was the first time she came to this kind of place, and Lin was eager to know what Cassiu was doing.

Cassius didn't care too much about what Lynn said to him, but instead looked at the ground and inner walls around him, as if looking for something, while Lynn stood there dumbfounded, at a loss.

"You'd better stay here and don't do anything, and when I get back, I'll go ahead and have a look," Kaxiu didn't reply, and walked towards the pitch black depths.

"The soul beast is here, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it" Lin became a little impatient.

"Don't worry, it's okay, wait here for me to come back, if I haven't come back before the spotlight goes out, you can return the same way you came, the soul beasts all the way before are almost dead, you should have no problem alone" Kaxiu disappeared into the darkness after speaking, leaving Lin alone in place, watching the light be swallowed by the darkness until it disappeared

Cassius walked alone into the depths of the Endless Corridor, walking for an unknown amount of time, and then stopped, carefully observing the surroundings, hoping to get some information from it.

"It's strange, why hasn't there been even a soul beast along the way, there are only two possibilities, either the soul beast has rioted, but there are no fresh soul beast corpses around, and there is no trace of a fight, so there is only one possibility left" A trace of unease passed over Kassiu's face, but he still walked towards the depths of this endless corridor.

【Entrance to the Endless Corridor】

"Arrived"

Waltz patted the dust off his clothes and said.

"Let's go in, if nothing else, we'll meet them, hopefully my worries are unnecessary"

Gig looked at the entrance, worried.

"Jiger, you're still the same, always warm-hearted, for the sake of others, but this is the real you, hey, wait for me, are you listening to me?" Waltz watched as Jig had already begun to walk towards the entrance of the endless corridor, and followed.

【Outer Corridor of the Endless Corridor】

Kasiu stopped, looking not far ahead, a smile on his lips.

"Hmph, sure enough, I guessed correctly"

"Hey, this friend, this is the end of the journey, don't go any further"

Kasiu immediately became vigilant, pulled out the long sword at his waist, and then through the faint spotlight, he saw the person in front of him clearly, who looked like he was in his thirties, but there was no stubble on his face, with black eyes, he looked very delicate, wearing knight's armor, and a sword with only the hilt at his waist, he was snuggling up to the side at this time, as if waiting for Cassiu.

"Soul Sword Bebane, heh, it's still an old friend, no wonder the voice sounds so kind" Cassius looked surprised, but then calmed down.

"I didn't think it would be you, Radiant Swordsman-Cassiu, maybe this is the fate between you and me" Bane still snuggled to the side, without the slightest expression on his face, looking extraordinarily leisurely.

"Set up an enchantment here, what are you going to plan here" Cassius tentatively tried to find the answer, and looked at the Soul Blade-Bane with hatred in his eyes.

"Hehe, Cassiu, the events of ten years ago are still in my mind, one of the two of us is bound to die, either you or me" Bane pulled out his long sword with only the hilt and made a face-to-face appearance.

"If you were a despicable villain, Nami wouldn't die, and today you and I will put an end to the events of ten years ago," Cassiu seemed to say Nami, showing great excitement and anger, and her hands were shaking.

"Heh, it seems that the events of ten years ago have had a great impact on you, or not, it's been ten years, you must want to find me out anytime and anywhere, and then kill me with your own hands, but can you really escape the endless pain in this way, just like this endless corridor, winding and long, swallowed up by endless darkness" Bane pulled out his sword with only the hilt, and faced Kaxiu, and the battle was about to break out.

"Cassiu, are you still in the past, living in Nami's shadow now, seriously, you and I are old friends, but I look disappointed in you now" Bane looked into the air, not only sighed.

"Bane, you're not qualified to mention Nami's name, because people like you shouldn't exist in this world at all" Kashu's eyes were blood-red, his teeth clenched, and he stared at Bane deadly.

"You and I couldn't defeat ten years ago, and I'll really wait and see what you'll be like ten years from now."

With that, both sides have begun to rush towards each other, and a battle is about to be staged

Cathew and Bane each held their swords and fought together, and in an instant the rocks in the cave tumbled and a small explosion occurred.

"The legend of [Holy Knight] is one of the artifacts of the King's Ruins, although it only has the hilt of the sword, but it can cut through any object, no matter what obstacle the opponent is hiding in, it can be enough to attack the target in the air, immune to the effects of all Horcruxes, how about it, Kassiu, you just want to take that ordinary Horcrux [Dark Moon] and want to be comparable to my artifact, is it your confidence" Bane did not have any expression, and said coldly.

"Aren't you going to take out your [Choice], or are you not going to use it at all?"

"You don't need to [choose] to deal with you at all, [Dark Moon] is enough to defeat you," Cassiu frowned, still looking at Bane angrily.

The two sides were still fighting fiercely, countless rocks were scattered by the halo explosion in the battle, and the silence in the darkness was also broken by this fierce battle, Bane was still expressionless, the knight's armor on his body was intact, but it was Kaxiu, holding a black long sword, his hands were trembling, although there were no traces of cutting on the armor, but his face was extremely distorted, looking extremely painful, panting heavily.

"Is it already over, is this the consciousness that you're going to kill me, I'm really overestimating you, Cassiu" Bane stood there, a hint of frustration on his face.

"This is just a warm-up, let's let you see my [Phantom Sword Dance]" Kashu said and disappeared from view in an instant.

"It's too slow, I've seen you, it's not your ability, right" Bane still stood motionless, Cassiu quickly slashed out like a hurricane from all directions, Bane closed his eyes slightly, and completely caught Kahew's attack.

"This kind of speed of slashing, I can already see it clearly, has your strength degraded, or are you old, Kasei, I'm so disappointed in you now"

Lin was still holding the spotlight, standing there, the sound of the explosion in the distance woke him up from a dream, he shook his hand tightly, and then took out the old giant sword behind his back, and began to rush towards the place where the explosion came from, at this time he looked extremely uneasy.

"What was the sound of the explosion just now, could it be that Cassiu is in some danger?"

Bane stood in front of Kathew, at this time Kahew's face was distorted, gasping for breath, the sword was inserted into the ground to support the whole body, although it didn't seem to have any damage on the outside, but in fact, the body had suffered a serious blow, and it was struggling to hold on, this is the power of Bane's [Holy Horse], it doesn't seem to have any damage on the outside, but it can cause heavy damage to the inside of the body.

"Kaxiu, you don't need to die anywhere, you know my ability very well, if you add my [Spiritual Erosion], you are dead here now, I think, the battle is over, there is no point in continuing like this, you are too weak"

"Bain, don't want to get out of here and show your true strength, are you pitying me" Kaxiu stood up with difficulty, holding the long sword in his hand with both hands, his hands kept trembling, panting, his face twisted, and rushed towards Bane.

"Cassiu, I'm not pitying you, I'm just disappointed, there's no [Choice] Cassiu, I'm not interested in fighting you" Bane was expressionless, and easily put the rushing Kahew to the ground, shook his head, and sighed softly.

"I said that for you, I don't need to use [Choice], you don't have to pretend to be a saint in front of me" Kaxiu fell to the ground, gritted his teeth, his body trembled, and he still wanted to get up, but he was trampled on the ground by Bane, making a senseless resistance.

"I'm sorry, I'm an atheist, don't be stubborn, as you can see from the results just now, you can no longer use [Choice], give up, you can't win me" Bane was condescending, still without any expression.

Cassius tried to get back to his feet, but to no avail, and his eyes widened and he frowned when he heard Bane say that he couldn't use Choice. Then he lowered his head, looking very helpless.

"Oh, it looks like someone is coming" Bane looked at the light in the distance, but he was not surprised, and his face was still the same grim face.

Lynn walked quickly towards the light, the light emitted from the spotlight, and he saw Cassius lying on the ground, and next to him stood a man about his age, holding a sword without a hilt, standing there, looking very casual.

"Kakasui, what's wrong with you, you're Uncle Bae-Bairn" Lin quickly walked over to Kasiu's side and helped Kaxiu up, with a surprised expression on his face, he couldn't believe that Bane would actually appear in front of him in this form.

"It turned out to be Lin, I didn't expect to grow so big, when I left the Qiyao Society, you were still a little hairy child, the years passed, and time seemed to pass in such a hurry, alas, sure enough, everything changed" Bane looked at Lin, then put away the sword in his hand, looked at the sky, and sighed inadvertently.

"Lynn, didn't I tell you to wait for me somewhere, why didn't you obey my orders, now you hurry up and get out of here, it's a matter between our adults" Cassiu was helped up by Lin, but he pushed Lin away, and then stood with difficulty, holding the long sword in both hands, but his body trembled involuntarily, it was obvious that Cassiu had reached the limit.

"What the hell is going on, why is Uncle Bane here, is there a light with this magnetic field fluctuation, did you seriously injure Kaxiu like this, why, why the hell is this" Lynn looked helpless, as if wondering what was going on.

"Lynn, I'm sorry, I can't tell you, but I can let you go, one last advice, don't keep going, it's dangerous here"

"Bane, where are you talking big things, you don't want to get out of here" Kaxiu rushed forward desperately, but the ending was the same, still vulnerable, and fell heavily to the ground, and Lynn was on the side, becoming overwhelmed, not knowing what was going on, but he couldn't just stand here and still.

"Hehe, it's really lively, I can't imagine that I met a lot of old friends today, who will be next" Bane stood there, looking at the lights approaching him from a distance, looking very expectant.

Lin also turned her head and looked not far away, two lights were approaching like them, at this time Lin looked very expectant, but she was also very vigilant, not knowing whether the person coming from afar was an enemy or a friend.

"It's just ahead, but it seems that there is another person" Gig looked into the distance, his face serious, and looked into the distance with a trace of worry on his face.

Waltz and Gig came to Rin's side, Waltz and Gig showed a look of surprise on their faces, and it was none other than the former member of the Seven Yao Society, Soul Blade-Bane, who stood in front of them, and Ka Xiu fell to the ground, looking badly injured.

"Bane, long time no see, don't come here, what the hell is going on, can you tell me" Gig looked at Bane with dead eyes, and then at Lynn as if he wanted to know the answer.

"Bane, but it seems that you haven't changed at all, what a surprise, not because I saw you, but because you actually defeated Cassiu" Waltz also looked at Bane from a distance, looking uneasy.

"I don't know him, he's not the Cassius I know"

"Bane, you haven't answered my question yet, what the hell is going on, is it because of the magnetic field fluctuations" Jiger obviously had no intention of reminiscing, just wanted to know what was going on, and the answer in his heart seemed to be closer to him.

"No comment," Bane said coldly, then turned away and headed into the depths of the Endless Corridor

"Did you see that?" said Gigger, looking surprised

"Gig, what are you talking about" waltz was a little inexplicable

"There is another person beside Bebane, like a child" Gig looked at the place where Bain disappeared, unable to calm down for a long time, and there seemed to be a trace of uneasiness and fear on his face.
