Chapter 1 Arrival

【Eastern Nittelland Empire・Tanatos Gorge】

The border between the Nitrland Empire and the Temple is endless, and all you can see in front of you is mountains and canyons, which are like a deep knife mark on a stone plate, called Tanatos, the name of the legendary god of death. This is an ancient battlefield of the ancient holy war, where the devils and angels who covered the sky and the sun once fought, and this canyon was born at that time, and an unknown god used his life's divine power to wield a sword, instantly obliterating countless devils, and also opening up this canyon.

On a cliff on the edge of the canyon, a beautiful fiery red figure suddenly appeared, which was Qingying. She still held the dagger stained with Eshy's blood in her hand, and the dazzling bright red dripping from the silver-white sharpness had a little inexplicable beauty. Qingying faced the temple in front of him, knelt down on one knee, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I have finished it. A shocking fluctuation of soul power came from the temple in the distance, and a soft but majestic female voice came: "Well done, what you want will be given to you." But now, you have to be careful, the old friend is here, and he is not easy to mess with. With that, the fluctuation was gone.

Qingying frowned slightly, she felt that a very powerful soul magician was approaching rapidly, and she was busy getting up with the soul power in her body, her body was glowing with a faint golden light, and her beautiful eyes were also full of golden light. In the distance, a white light pierced the sky and sped here, and finally stopped in front of Qingying, only half a step away from Qingying, and Qingying, who was blown by the wind and dust brought by the instant, took a step back. Qingying stabilized his figure, opened his eyes that were stimulated by the sand and dust, and saw that the person in front of him was actually Lan Che, the butler next to Eich!

"I didn't expect you to be such a powerful soul magician, are you here to avenge Ash?" Kiyoying was unhurried and raised her white neck, "Come on, I'll bury Ash with you." ”

Lan Che didn't say anything, his right hand slowly raised, and a bright light condensed into a sharp long sword in his hand, the body of the sword was slender, and the blade was engraved with ancient words. Lancher put the sword around Qingying's neck, trying his best to suppress his impulses: "Why did you kill Eshi, did he do anything wrong, he is still so young...... Why!" In the end, his eyes were wet with tears. Qingying raised the dagger in his hand and said softly, "This dagger is called Soul Slayer, and it was found in this canyon. Seventeen years ago, my mother killed Esich's father with this dagger, and later she gave birth to me, left a letter, and committed suicide with this dagger. Later, I learned that in order to embark on the ultimate path of assassination, I had to kill the people I loved the most...... My mother killed the man he loved the most, and I was left with someone she didn't love, and I fell in love with the man's son, and I killed him. ”

Lan Che snorted and said coldly, "Sanskrit...... What a pathetic nation. Qingying couldn't deny it, squeezing out a smile with moist eyes, "Ash doesn't even know what my surname is, and he still wants to marry me." And I plunged the dagger into his heart. With that, he covered his face with his hands and cried.

Lan Che sighed lightly, took out the sapphire ring from his pocket, handed it to Qing Ying, and said, "Esch loves you, live well." He turned and disappeared into a ray of light.

【Sargeras Tower of Babel】

Everyone gathered around Ash's still warm body, each holding a white chrysanthemum or a lit white candle in their hands, and the flame of the candle kept jumping, like the long red hair of a certain beauty.

A charming woman held Eshy's hand and cried incessantly, she was Eshy's mother. Today was supposed to be a day of joy, but why did it look like this?

Just when everyone was immersed in grief, Ash's body suddenly changed dramatically! The wound in his heart emitted a dazzling golden light, Ash's body began to tremble violently, and Ash opened his eyes, and even his pupils were full of golden light. The sudden turn of events stunned everyone, and what they had experienced today was unbelievable for them.

Ash struggled to open his mouth and let out a roar of pain. The wound in his heart was healing rapidly, and the golden electric light circulated on his body, gradually fading. Ash sat up slowly under the gaze of everyone, saw the powerful power in his body that did not belong to him, and said, "What happened?" Ash's mother looked at Ash in shock and stammered, "Ashie...... You...... It's all right?......" Ash replied with a blank face, "What's the matter, what could it be?" Ash's mother stretched out a trembling hand and lifted Ash's gorgeous robe, and on Ash's left chest, where it should have been a wound, a six-pointed star pattern, the legendary Star of David, the symbol of God.

At this moment, a divine light descended from the sky, accompanied by the sacred Sanskrit sound, two figures slowly descended, they were two women, one blonde and blue-eyed, slender, beautiful and incomprehensible, not inferior to Qingying, and behind her was petite, with long blue hair, green eyes, but pointed ears, and a staff made of branches in her hand, and the five-colored light on the staff flowed.

At this time, the "little beauty" said in her slightly immature voice, "The Holy Lord has arrived, don't hurry up and salute!" Everyone knelt down to show their respect. The blonde woman, the Holy Lord, said slowly with an imperceptible smile, "Get up." Then he said to Eshy, "Ash Hale, come forward." Ash was stunned for a moment, and the problem of talking too much came again, and he hummed softly, "How did she know my name?" The Holy Lord smiled and replied, "This world has no secrets from me. Ash was taken aback and hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, Holy Lord, for offending you. Still smiling, the Lord stretched out his slender and white right hand and placed his index finger on the Star of David on Eshy's chest. Ash looked down at the Holy Lord's hand, and then at the beautiful face in front of him, not only did his breath begin to shorten, but his face also turned red. A beautiful woman pointed to the chest of a ** man with an upper body, and the picture was really ambiguous.

"I see, he's still back, do you want to get his things back?" the Holy Lord's words confused everyone present. Ash boldly asked, "What? Who is back?" The Holy Lord was stunned for a moment, knowing what he had missed, and explained, "This...... You'll find out later. Then he withdrew his right hand and said solemnly to Eich, "I have seen the boundless power of light in your body, and I have made you an apostle of the day." ”

Esch was overjoyed, knelt down on one knee and respectfully said, "Thank you, Holy Lord!" and then asked, "This...... Apostle of Day, what are you doing?" The blue-haired little beauty was anxious, and hit Eshy's head hard with the staff in her hand, and said angrily: "You know something? Bai has grown so big!" Ash rubbed his head, glared at the little beauty viciously, and said, "I only know that you can't marry such a fierce girl when she grows up!" The Holy Lord smiled slightly, and said softly: "Don't make trouble, Alice, tell him about the ten apostles." ”

Alice pouted with a reluctant face, and said angrily: "The ten apostles are the guardians of the ten powers of heaven, earth, universe, heaven, day, night, water, fire, life, and death, each of which is very powerful, you are the apostle of the day...... It looks so-so. Alice looked smug. Ash was naturally very angry and unconvinced: "Who are you, why do you say that about me!"

Alice straightened her waist, the petite bulge on her chest also looked high, and she shook her long hair again, and said, "Listen, Miss Ben is the loveliest and kindest apostle of life around the Holy Lord today!" Alice glared at Ash again and said, "You wait, you're lucky today, next time you'll be ready to be knocked on the head by me, hum!"

Ash stood up straight, stroked the Star of David on his chest, and muttered to himself, "From this day on, I will be the Apostle of Day, how wonderful." Suddenly, a headache caught Ash off guard, Ash covered her head and scolded, "Damn Alice, you can't get married!" The headache disappeared after a few breaths, Ash sat on the ground panting, rubbing his temples, suddenly raised his head, his eyes widened, searched around, and kept saying, "Qingying...... Ring...... Pure Shadow ...... Ring ......"

【Deep in the Tanatos Gorge, Sanskrit Settlement】

Qingying walked down the street as if she had lost her soul, ignoring the warm greetings of her neighbors, "Qingying, you're back!" "Qingying, Auntie made your favorite hot milk tea, come and try it!" ...... When Kiyokage returned to her room, she threw herself on the bed, put her head in her arms, and began to cry bitterly, "Eshi...... I'm sorry...... They all blame me...... I love you......" At the end, the shadow fell asleep.

After an unknown amount of time, Kiyokage suddenly opened her eyes, quickly rolled over and drew her dagger, as she sensed someone approaching, a powerful psychomagician. I saw a man covered in a coarse cloth robe, sitting at the dining table, calmly drinking hot milk tea. Qingying asked coldly, "Who are you?" The man put down the teacup, cleared his throat, and let out a voice that has been experienced over the years, and the vicissitudes of life: "You don't need to know this, I'm just here to tell you good news, but it may also be bad news." Qingying was still full of vigilance, and asked, "What's the news?" The old man smiled and said, "Hehe, your little lover, you didn't die even if your heart was pierced, it's really fateful." ”

When Qingying heard the news, his body trembled, and he said, "Is it true? What you said is true? Eich is still alive?" the old man nodded, "Not only is he not dead, but he was also made an apostle of the day by the Holy Lord, and he was blessed by misfortune, hehe." Kiyokage smiled, "Great, great...... but the smile froze again, "But I can't face Esie anymore." ”

The old man stood up, stretched out his wrinkled hand, and in his hand was Eshy's sapphire ring, and said, "I have changed this ring a little, give it back to you, wear him." Everything will be in its place, I'm gone, no need to send. "Anyway, it's gone. Qingying gently put the ring on the ring finger of her right hand and smiled with tears in her eyes, "Esie, no matter what, I'm already your man." ”

【Temple】

The Holy Lord sat on the throne of the main hall, and quietly looked at the four people standing below, among them was Alice, the old man in the robe, and two young men, one of whom was tall, dressed in a tight black robe, lined with a more slender figure, with a handsome face, expressionless face, and boundless stars in his eyes, and the other in a manic red robe, with red hair like flames, like blood, and always with an unruly smile at the corners of his mouth. The Holy Lord said softly: "Ash has his breath in his body, as I expected, he is coming back, it will be another catastrophe, his appearance will definitely attract the attention of the God Realm, he can make the gods of the God Realm re-ranked, there will be a bloody storm." ”

The red-haired man was disdainful and said, "Now it's just an ordinary person, so it's okay to be disciplined." The old man immediately denied his claim: "It doesn't work, he has the Star of David, he is the object of protection of the gods, and besides, the divine power in the Shadow Exterminator Dagger awakens part of his sleeping soul, and we may not be able to suppress him." Alice pouted and said, "What the hell is this guy, it's a god and a demon...... After that, her face changed, and she immediately knelt down and said: "Holy Lord, Alice didn't mean to, please forgive the Holy Lord!" The Holy Lord waved his hand and said, "Get up, pay more attention in the future." "Ever since the Demon disappeared from the continent after the Ancient Holy War, the Holy Lord has decreed that no one should mention the word Devil.

The Holy Lord looked at the sky from afar and said softly, "I just hope he doesn't wake up too soon." The four people below also nodded in unison, agreeing with the Holy Lord's statement. But no one saw the slight curvature of the corner of the black-clothed man's mouth.
