Leo feels peculiar right now.

His consciousness was incomparably clear, as if there was an invisible film, cutting off the countless roars, howls and murderous roars of the outside world.

Unlike the feeling of falling into distortion in the past, at this moment, he can control his body with incomparable reason and precision.

The Captain of the Knights of the Sacred Tree was stronger than he expected.

The real, unweakened Demon God level is far from being comparable to the half-crippled state of the Great Lord of the Abyss, Scarlet.

Not only is it stronger in the normal state, but it finally uses the killer weapon of the "God Heart" to freeze the extreme cold of time and space, even if it is a burning soul fire, it cannot resist it.

At that moment, he was frozen in the cage of time.

body, as well as soul.

The original advantage was reversed in an instant, and this ability is the authority that belongs to the demon god and is the core embodiment of the world.

And distortion was Leo's only choice at that time.

It's just that what Leo didn't expect was that the feeling of falling into distortion this time seemed to be due to the sleeping of the "distorted second personality", which was completely different from the past.

This feeling of sober control of powerful power is intoxicating.

But Leo didn't dare to be nostalgic, and after pinching and blowing up the "God Heart" of the leader of the Knights of the Sacred Tree, he chose to quit the aberration as soon as possible.

The power of the body and soul faded at the same time, and the degradation of power was enough to make people crazy, but Leo was greatly relieved.

He could feel that this time he entered a state of distortion, although he was not controlled by the "aberration second personality" as before, but his entry still caused the "aberration second personality" that was originally in a deep sleep state to wake up.

Source change app】

The dark blue lines on his body disappeared, and Leo's thoughts gradually returned to his eyes.

The leader of the Knights of the Sacred Tree, whose "Heart of God" has been completely shattered, will surely die, and although it has not dissipated now, it is also the time of death, and there is no longer any power to resist.

Leo quietly looked at the half-kneeling knight in front of him.

There is actually no grudge between him and the leader of the Knights of the Sacred Tree, but his position and interests determine the occurrence of this life-and-death fight.

"Hum—"

At this moment, Leo felt a strong vibration from the Fire Mark on the back of his right hand.

Spirited into the mark of fire, seeing the source of the tremors, Leo moved his heart and took the thing out.

It is the Holy Scroll of Revelation deposited by St. Shireen.

In the pure white light, the soul body of the Holy Maiden Shireen slowly appeared.

She opened her eyes, and her eyes, as pure as a newborn fawn, contained the vicissitudes of time.

This is a very contradictory feeling, but when it is placed on her, it does not make people feel abrupt, but there is a sense of harmony.

Leo looked at the Holy Maiden Shireen in front of him, and his face was slightly happy: judging from the state of the Holy Maiden Shirin, she seemed to have recovered a lot of memories.

The Holy Maiden Shireen, who came out of the [Holy Scroll: Revelation], did not look at Leo, but stared at the half-kneeling knight in front of her with her eyes, and whispered in a clear and ethereal voice:

"Rider ...... Laiman"

Laiman ...... Laiman ......

The voice engraved in his soul brightened the dark eyes of the Knights of the Sacred Tree.

He raised his head slowly, and the brown child's holes reddened around the edges reflected a pure white figure.

"Ho...... Ho ......"

He wanted to say something, but the shattering of the heart of God and the elimination of the source of life made him exhaust the last of his strength just by raising his head.

The eyes of the Holy Maiden Shireen were filled with sorrow, and she floated to the side of the Knights of the Sacred Tree, humming a beautiful melody in her mouth.

That's a chant.

Leo listened quietly to the singing, and suddenly, this scene appeared in front of his eyes:

In the grand church, countless white doves spread their wings and flew into the distance full of hope, and at the top of the church, a young girl in a pure white flawless dress sang softly, and the breeze blew, driving her long hair to flutter back.

Countless milky white points of light, accompanied by singing, flowed into the body of the leader of the Knights of the Sacred Tree, making the light in his eyes stabilize a little.

"Holy Maiden......"

"Don't waste any more energy for me."

A thick, steady voice came from under the helmet of the Captain of the Knights of the Sacred Tree.

"I'm dying, and no matter how much I save it, it won't help."

"I'm sorry, I didn't protect the church, the thousands of people, and you."

The knight was still half-kneeling, and there was a heavy self-reproach in his voice that time could not wash away.

"No, the knight of Laiman......"

As the singing stopped, the Holy Maiden Shireen stared at the head of the Knights of the Sacred Tree, and the sadness in her eyes grew.

"A thousand years later, to this day, you are still the pride of me, and of all the people of Gaelde."

"You've done your part."

"Kaka ......"

The leader of the Knights of the Sacred Tree slowly stood up, the broken armor grinding with his movements.

His gaze looked into the distance, and he saw the sacred tree of Flvedea shrouded in gray mist, and even more saw the church that was now only ruined.

"Everything, after all, could not be undone."

As the words fell, the head of the Knights of the Sacred Tree looked at Leo:

"Unknown powerhouse, can you tell me, your name?"

"Chase the light."

"Chasing the light...... Chasing the light...... What a beautiful meaning, in the past, I also kept chasing the light, but now I ......" The head of the Knights of the Sacred Tree smiled hoarsely: "Your Excellency Chasing the Light, the Holy Maiden should also be saved by you." ”

Without waiting for Leo to reply, the head of the Knights of the Sacred Tree continued:

"I'm going to die......"

"It's a shame to say that as an opponent not so long ago, I don't have anything else to do now. I would like to implore you to protect the Holy Maiden. ”

"She is the last hope to defeat the aberration......"

Leo nodded, "I will, and I'm looking for a way to defeat the aberration." ”

"That's good." The leader of the Knights of the Sacred Tree seemed to let go of a thought, he raised his hand and pointed it on his eyebrows, and after a while, a blue-gold light flew out with the movement of his fingers, levitating in front of Leo:

"As a fellow swordsmanship practitioner, I admire your attainments in swordsmanship."

"This is my perception of hundreds of years of swordsmanship practice, maybe not as good as you, but I hope it can be of little help to you."

Seeing Leo wordlessly accept the light group, the head of the Knights of the Sacred Tree smiled heartily, and then turned to the direction of the Holy Maiden Shirin:

"It's great to see you safe before leaving......

Under the joint gaze of Leo and the Holy Maiden Shirin, the body of the leader of the Knights of the Sacred Tree began at the soles of his feet and turned into fine particles of ash, which dissipated with the wind.

In the end, only a burning ball of soul light was left in place, as well as a badge called [Sacred Tree Seal], which was used to promote the fourth-order fire contractor.

[Obtain the Soul of the Salary King of [Extreme Cold Demon God] - Ryman Garcia, Captain of the Knights of the Sacred Tree (1)......]

In the wordless silence, Leo's ears suddenly heard the sad whisper of the Holy Maiden Shireen:

"If he chooses to fall into aberration, he won't be so miserable in this thousand years."

"Demon god-level reality, even if you fall into aberration, although you will lose all your previous memories and emotions, you will not be in any more pain."

"It's just that for the country, for the people, for me, he endured for thousands of years, willing to turn into the walking dead, just for the last wisp of obsession in his heart......"

Leo was speechless.

Eventually, he made a mound on the ground next to the church, with the following inscriptions:

"Ryman Garcia, the most loyal knight."

……

With everything all taken care of, the Virgin Shireen floated towards the shattered statue of the goddess that flew towards the ruins of the church.

A surging glimmer of light emerged from the ruined statue of the goddess of light.

As always.

It's just that things have long been wrong.

The Holy Maiden Shireen was silent for a long time before coming to the statue of the Goddess of Light, and finally sat down on her knees, clasped her hands together, and chanted softly.

The melodious pastoral song drifted in all directions, and Leo saw that the glimmer on the statue of the Broken Goddess of Light seemed to be pulled by some kind of force and flowed into the body of the Holy Maiden Shireen.

When there was no more light on the statue of the goddess of light, the soul of the Holy Maiden Shireen seemed much more solid, almost the same as when they first met.

Leo walked up to the side of the Holy Maiden Shireen, and as the light receded, the statue that had lasted for thousands of years could no longer hold on, and turned into rubble and collapsed.

"Can you tell me what happened a thousand years ago that caused the rapid collapse of the great dynasty?"

"What does it mean that the knight said that you are the last hope?"

In the face of Leo's inquiry, the Holy Maiden Shireen rose up again, and her clean and transparent childlike eyes reflected Leo's appearance:

"You can actually blame one of these two problems."

"Gaeld, a great nation born in the sun, has put an end to troubled times and enabled hundreds of millions of people to live and work in peace and contentment."

"However, once the country born in the sun loses the sun, it will be difficult to maintain."

"A thousand years ago, the eyes of the goddess were no longer cast on the world, the prayers of the priests were no longer answered, and even I, as a holy woman, could no longer communicate with the goddess."

"Everything came too suddenly."

"Even half of the trunk of the once glorious sacred tree Florvidea turned to a dead gray overnight."

"Since then, gray fog and distortion have spread all over Gaild."

"In the beginning, the aberration only infected ordinary people, but as time passed, low-level professionals, transcendents, legends and even demigods were difficult to escape, and once they were eroded by the aberration, there was only one ending: falling into madness, bloodthirsty, and eventually, turning into a distorted monster that lost its human form."

"The stronger the professional, the stronger the resistance to aberration, but in the final analysis, it's just a matter of speed, if it continues like this, everyone will fall into aberration."

"At the time of life and death, the sages who had been all over the world gathered in the Holy Tree Frvedia and built twelve towers, which were used as a base to surround the body of the Sacred Tree Brevidea and build a wall of separation between the fire of humanity, so that the spread of distortion was slightly alleviated."

"But it was only a relief, in order to get to the root of the aberration, the [Dead Silence Zone] within a 10-kilometer radius of the sacred tree Flvideya, the sages carried out countless research, and finally, came up with the 'Pure-Blood Ritual'."

"The essence of the pure-blood ritual is to transform the body into a half-human, half-deformed existence in exchange for a longer period of activity in a high-intensity aberration polluted environment, which is a helpless race against deformity and death."

"But at that time, the sages of the tower had no choice, because the place of the root of the aberration, she was called the 'Lord of Aberration' by the sages of the tower, was about to be born."

"The appearance of every aberrant life is adding nourishment to the birth of the 'Lord of Aberration'."

"The 'Lord of Aberration', which is based on the supply of hundreds of millions of aberrant lives, will have the strength to surpass the demon gods, comparable to the gods."

"And our gods have not been heard from."

"Therefore, in order to prevent the birth of the 'Lord of Aberration', the Sages of the Tower resolutely promoted the 'Pure-Blood Ritual', and finally, gathered all the top powerhouses of the royal family, the church, and the Tower to go deep into the [Dead Zone]."

"Originally, as a saint, I would have followed them to deal with the 'Lord of Aberrations', but before leaving, the Pope gave me the responsibility of guarding the church of the Holy Prison, and asked me to wait there for the day when the sacred tree of Flordea will be lit."

"His Holiness the Pope told me that I would know everything then."

"He gave me a divine artifact called 'Miracle of Life', which can transform me into a true soul body, and from what a long life."

"The knight of Laiman is the guardian knight left by my father for me, and the hope he said earlier should be this."

"But actually, even I don't know where the so-called hope is......

Leo listened quietly to what the Holy Maiden Shireen had to say, but his heart was far from being as calm as it seemed.

Last Hope...... Lord of Distortion......

"Who won that decisive battle?"

Leo said in a deep voice.

Holy Maiden Shilin shook her head lightly: "I don't know, the twelve towers are located outside the Dead Silence Zone, which not only seals the distortion, but also blocks the sight of the outside world, I have not performed the pure-blood ceremony, and now I am in a soul body state, and even the aberration pollution of the [Holy Tree Core] is difficult to resist, and I don't know the final result of that decisive battle." ”

"However, after that decisive battle, the 'Lord of Distortion' did not come out of the [Dead Silence Zone], presumably, the worst result is a draw."

Leo was silent.

Above the Demon God, the Lord of Aberrations.

If he wants to solve the problem of distortion in his body, the master of distortion is the existence he has to face.

But today's battle with Laiman, the leader of the Knights of the Sacred Tree, made Leo realize that although he had the strength to fight against the Demon God, in fact, he could only deal with the most basic Demon God.

The gap between the demigod primary level and the demigod limit is still like an abyss, let alone the demon god level.

Now, even if he goes deep into the [Dead Zone] and goes to the Lord of Aberration, he is only sent to death.

While there was silence, Leo also had other doubts in his heart.

In the description of the Holy Maiden Shireen, there is no information about the Moste continent, nor is there a single word from the Goddess of the Dark Moon.

The Most continent with the four main gods, in Leo's prediction, has a high probability of being beyond the big world, and he can come to the Gald world from the Most continent, which shows that the two worlds must have a deep connection.

And the Goddess of the Dark Moon, as the main god-level existence, what is the relationship between her and the Lord of Distortion and the Goddess of Light?

"Hoo ......"

There were too many doubts and too little information, Leo breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the holy Maiden Shilin beside him:

"Let's go, let's go back first."

He was going to return to the Burning Sacrifice House and be promoted to the rank of the Fourth Fire Pact and go to the higher levels of the Burning Sacrifice House.

He had a hunch that in the third floor of the Burning Shrine, there must be information he wanted.
