The long sword, which was filled with deep blue light, stopped a few centimeters away from the silver-white greatsword.

This is only a fleeting distance for the transcendent, but it is a path that can no longer intersect between the two.

On the eve of the collision between the long sword and the great sword, the knight of Lanloins, just like that, died silently.

Its life, its soul, and everything else are all back to their original origins.

Leo's eyes were full of astonishment.

Obviously, a moment ago, the knight of Lan Luoyin was still alive and strong, and suppressed him to the death during the battle.

And now, in the process of slashing out this earth-shattering sword, he has lost all his vitality.

Above the long sword, the deep blue light dissipated.

Leo lifted the "Sunlight" status.

Sun Hui was the only one of his sword skills so far whose power had not diminished as the brightness of his soul fire increased.

It uses its own soul as fuel to make the flame of soul fire burn.

So, even though it only took a second or two to get into this state, Leo still felt a deep sense of exhaustion welling up from the depths of his brain, causing him to stagger and almost unsteady on his feet.

"Hoo ......"

After taking a few deep breaths and relieving himself a little, Leo stood still and looked at the knight of Lanloins in front of him, only to realize the movement of the opponent's left hand that was not holding a sword.

The sword that the knight of Lanloins slashed out just now was too powerful and attracted all the attention, so that he didn't notice the other movements of the knight of Lanloins.

In front of Leo, the lifeless Knight of Lanloyin held the sword in his right hand, leaving the silver-white greatsword in front of him, while his left hand was a fist against his chest.

Pulling a little distance, you will find that the movements of the knight of Lanloins are like some kind of ancient etiquette.

Above the ruins, under the blood moon, the silver-white knight with a sword clenched his fist to his chest.

Suddenly, Leo had a scene of a lake in his mind.

It was a warrior covered in blood, struggling out of the mountain of corpses and blood, and standing in front of him was a mighty and majestic knight in silver and white armor.

The knight bowed his head slightly, his left hand raised to his chest, and his right hand held the sword, the great sword lying in front of him.

It is an ancient ritual and a spiritual inheritance.

Its name, Storm Oath.

It is an ancient tradition that has been passed down from generation to generation in the Order of Lanloins, and every member who becomes a full-fledged Knight of Lanlois receives the blessings of previous generations.

What was ignored by Leo and thrown into the corner of his brain when absorbing the Storm Sword Soul Ash was like a mirror that had been wiped away from the dust, clearly appearing in his mind.

The Storm Oath, in addition to symbolizing the blessing of the previous generation of Lanroyin knights to the new generation of Lanroyins knights, also has another meaning.

That is, the Knight of Lanloins, the feeling of his benefactor.

Knowing that his time is running out, he condenses all the remaining life, soul, magic, etc., and completes the ancient ritual that belongs to the knights of Lanloins, the Storm Oath!

The knight of Lan Luoyin, who had been banned by the "Prayer Technique - Eternal Heaven" for more than ten years, could no longer support his body, spirit, and even soul.

Although it has survived until now through tricks, the moment the seal is unlocked, it is the beginning of the countdown to its life.

Even if Leo didn't fight him, the knight of Lanloins wouldn't have survived for a few minutes.

Therefore, in the eyes of the benefactor who felt that he had rescued himself from the endless darkness, the scorching battle intent, the face of the knight Lan Luoyins, who had been stiffened for more than ten years, once again showed a smile.

Rather than waiting for the last moment of his life in a lonely corner, as a knight, as a member of the famous Knights of Lanloins, he chose to end his life in another way.

And what could be more suitable than fighting?

All his life, he was fighting, mad in battle, rejoicing in battle, and sad in battle......

It is also supposed to come to an end in the battle.

Coincidentally, his benefactor is also an extraordinary person with wind attribute magic.

This made the knight of Lanloyin even more excited.

The big sword swept, and in one move, the body, which had become a little stiff due to being sealed for more than ten years, gradually became active.

The power is getting bigger and bigger, the speed is getting faster and faster, and the sword moves are becoming more and more fierce and unmatched.

- [Really, it's a pity......]

- [What a joy it would be if I could come and fight you in full glory!] ]

- [I'm sorry, my benefactor, for letting you see me who I am now...... My body is about to be unable to support it, so let me use this trick as a parting ceremony......]

The sword slashed out, and the magic power outlined the heavens and the earth with the sword tracks.

That is, the perfect fusion of swordsmanship and the magic of the wind.

Its name, magic swordsmanship, can also be called, transcendent swordsmanship!

……

On the ruins of rubble and debris, the silver-white knight who performs the ancient rituals dissipates in small points of light, starting from his feet.

Unlike the dissipation method of dissipating the aberrant monster into flying ashes, the dissipation of the knight of Lanloin is caused by the collapse of the most subtle structure of the body.

As the body dissipated, an ancient cyan inscription emerged from the heart of the knight of Lanloins.

It emitted a misty shimmer, like the dawn of the night.

When the last bit of his body turned into a point of light and disappeared, the light on the cyan inscription reached its limit and slowly floated towards Leo's location.

Leo reached out and let the cyan rune stall in his palm.

——

[Storm Oath Inscription: Ancient ritual, spiritual inheritance, this is the inscription that the knight of Lanloins, who is on the end of the road, poured all his strength into it.] 】

[How to use: Melt it into a metal weapon or armor to give it an exclusive enchantment - [Storm Oath]]

[I began with the wind and died from the wind, with this, salute! 】

——

After the death of the knight of Lanloins, he left no soul or soul ashes, because all he had left became the nourishment for the creation of this Storm Oath inscription.

Looking at the rune in his palm that emitted a misty blue light, Leo's eyes were full of complexity.

He chose to break the seal of the Ninth Church of Marim "Prayer - Eternal Heaven" and release the Knight of Lanloins, all for his own selfish purposes.

In addition to wanting to harvest a complete soul, it is a variety of loot that drops after killing enemies.

But now, looking at the loot in his hand, which is more "heavy" than soul and soul ashes, there is no trace of joy in Leo's heart.

- What am I doing?

When did I become so indifferent to life and so numb to the passing of life?

Is it because of the effect of aberration? Or is it because all the creatures he has encountered since his arrival in the dream world have been bloodthirsty and crazy monsters?

Perhaps, both.

But Leo knew that these were not the most important reasons.

The most important reason is that his heart is in turmoil.

Afraid of death, afraid of aberration, began to desperately want to improve himself, in order to defeat monsters, in order to obtain the capital to resist aberration.

But ah, not all living things in this world are aberrant monsters who have lost their minds.

There are also many normal beings, who have their own feelings, beliefs, and attachments......

They are no different from him.

It's all worth respecting, life.

Standing in front of the dissipation of the knight's body of Lanloins, Leo was silent, and vaguely, he seemed to see a knight in silver armor and waved goodbye to him.

“……”

Leo looked down at the inscription in his hand, and then he looked at the long sword at his waist.

- [Chasing the Light]

This weapon, which had been with him since the beginning of his ascent to the Dream World, had been of little help to him as he had been promoted to the Transcendent.

Even at the strongest moments of dawn and dusk, the blessings to him are minimal.

In addition to the exclusive enchantment [Night and Fire], the other two enchantments [Sturdy] and [Sharp] of Chasing Light are getting stronger and stronger against the enemies Leo encounters, and they are gradually not enough.

Like the [Flesh Fusion Greatsword] dropped by killing [Fusion Knight] before, it has a [Solid] superior enchantment, [Superior Solidity].

Until now, the original cold light-chasing sword body, in one battle after another, it is inevitable that subtle cracks that are invisible to the naked eye will appear.

This old fellow who has been with him for a long time is slowly unable to keep up with him.

And the [Storm Oath Inscription] can solve this problem very well.

Although it is not yet clear the exact effect of the exclusive enchantment [Storm Oath], this is an existence that has gone further than Leo on the path of the transcendent, and has poured out everything he has left behind.

It is definitely possible to make the quality of chasing light and have a qualitative leap!

The night breeze blew the corners of his clothes, and at the same time, a long-lost feeling of dizziness came to mind.

- It's time to get back to the real world.

Leo exhaled lightly, not saying whether it was relief or any other emotion.

Turning away, away from the ruined Marim Church, the figure faded away, and finally disappeared into the darkness of the night.

On the lonely ruins, the bell rang leisurely, and under the blood moon, a dusty figure in a black robe pushed the bell pestle, and struck the bronze bell again and again, like eternity.

……

Suppressing the dizziness in his mind, Leo made his way all the way, and soon Leo was back in his room in the tower in the southern part of Joel City.

Leaning against the cool wall, Leo looked at the red moonlight projected from the openwork window glass, and lost his mind for a moment.

After a moment, he came back to his senses and opened his palm, revealing the inscription that emitted a blue light.

Leo put the sword on his waist with a scabbard on the ground, and then slowly approached the cyan inscription in his hand.

tomato

The moment the Storm Oath inscription came into contact with the Chasing Light, a hint from the character panel came into view.

——

[This weapon is 98% compatible with [Storm Oath Inscription], making it suitable for fusion?] 】

——

Without hesitation, Leo chose "yes"!

This match is much higher than he imagined. Originally, he thought that it would be very good to reach the 60% passing mark.

Unexpectedly, the matching degree between the [Storm Oath Inscription] and the [Chasing Light] was unusually high.

As the Qingguang inscription was completely pushed into the Light-Chaser by Leo, another hint appeared in front of him.

——

[Fusion, 23 hours remaining, 59 minutes and 59 seconds......]

——

The fusion of [Chasing Light] and [Storm Oath Inscription] takes a day, that is, 24 hours.

Fortunately, I am about to return to the real world, so I don't have to worry about weapons.

For the next day, it was almost impossible to use this sword.

Let's just let it merge well.

Reaching out and holding the long sword that glowed blue and gold, Leo relaxed and closed his eyes, and at the same time, gave up resisting the dizziness in his head.

The dizziness that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly exploded the moment Leo relaxed, engulfing his consciousness in an instant

……

In the world of gray mist, silent and quiet.

The red sand of the blood moon was sprinkled over the almost empty city of Yor.

A few minutes after Leo left the dream world, the sea of gray mist began to churn violently above the sky.

It was as if there was an incomparably large being, flipped behind it.

The next moment, the churning sea of gray mist seemed to have pressed the pause button and stood still in the sky.

Not only the sea of gray mist and clouds, but also the world with Yoel City as the center, a radius of more than several kilometers, has come to a standstill.

Then, the blood-red full moon opened.

At the edge of the full moon, countless spatial cracks opened that were darker than the night, and these spatial cracks crisscrossed and formed a shape similar to two thin ovals on the periphery of the full moon.

At first glance, the blood-red full moon in the high sky has really turned into an eye.

The next second, the "eyes" opened.

She looked down at the city of Joel.

At the same time, the deepest part of the city, above the lake of blood, burned silently, and the bonfire, which purified the distorted environment bit by bit, was silently extinguished.

Beside the extinguished bonfire, beside the two great swords and a prayer book, countless mist-like black smoke quietly appeared.

It forms swirling portals.

A pair of hands, whiter than the moonlight, stretched out from the pitch-black portal, gently brushed the cover of the incantation book, the hilts of the two great swords, and finally, stopped in mid-air.

In this position, originally, there should have been a figure.

But now, it's empty.

At some point, the color of the blood moon in the high heavens changed.

From scarlet to dark blue.

……

Dizzy consciousness is like a lonely sail undulating in a storm.

Fortunately, the storm will eventually pass, and the calm and lonely boat on the sea has finally stabilized.

The dense and warm sunlight shines on the body and even on the eyelids.

Leo slowly opened his eyes.

He stared blankly at the still dimly familiar ceiling, and for a moment, there was a feeling of being in a different world.

On this trip to the dream world, he encountered too much.

The devouring knight, the end of the king, the wail of the dragon, and the elegy of the storm......

Unconsciously, there was a change in his heart that he had not even noticed.

This is a seed that has been quietly planted.

As for when it will be able to take root, sprout, and even become a towering tree, it depends on Leo himself, and his future choice.
