Chapter 677: Dagon's Nightmare
Shortly after Byron officially signed an armistice with Trasur.
The Cult of Nature, the Council of Generosity, and the School of the Mad have sent their own teams of elite Transcendents to help Trasur attack Beelzebub's military leaders, department governors, and even the Rose royal nobles.
Even with the help of the Hailing Regiment and the History and Ritual Society, the Kingdom of Beelzebub was still dealt a heavy blow and retreated.
At the beginning, the Church of the Seven Gods besieged and suppressed King Cang under the order of Andre the Great, but it was counter-killed and suffered heavy losses, among which the Generous Council and the Madman School did not participate, and the strength was well preserved.
Although among the two churches that supported Trasur the most, the power of the Church of the Sun withered, and all the members of the upper echelons of the Moon Church were forced to turn into containers polluted by the Martyr Father, lost control and became monsters, and were hunted down by the Silent Lady one by one.
But now, with the addition of the flourishing Nature Sect and the Dawning Church, Trasur has once again become the most powerful force on the continent in this era.
The morale of the Imperial army was high, and the counter-offensive of Trasur was quite fierce, pushing the battle line all the way through the war zone to the border of the Beelzebub Kingdom.
Anna and her brother Arnold each rode a tall horse, and they stayed side by side on a small hill, looking into the distance.
At the end of the spectrum, a series of high walls were built on the backs of the mountains, acting as a natural barrier to hold back the attacks of the Imperial army.
"Brother, we're going to win the battle of the century, right?"
Anna asked, tilting her head.
Arnold greeted the sun and smiled brightly.
"Of course."
"I wish I could see that day......"
Anna's eyes showed longing, and the corners of her mouth lifted up.
Suddenly, at this moment.
Six figures suddenly emerged from the air, each wearing a fully enclosed knight's plate armor carved with roses, and swung the long sword in his hand in unison, slashing towards Anna and Arnold.
However, the Arnold siblings did not change their faces, and they were unusually calm.
Airplanes!
Five pillars of golden light instantly stopped around the two of them, and the Bathing Light Holy Guard stepped forward, holding a cross sword constructed of light, blocking the attack.
"Wandering Knights, six Petal Knights...... It's a pity that His Highness Arnold has already guessed your plans! β
An old voice came.
The Athoro Sage of the Church of the Sun came in the form of light, and beside him, there were two other Sun Sages.
The three of them spread their arms in unison, instantly dragging the battlefield into the spirit realm.
The Wandering Knights, the Bathing Guards, and the Church of the Sun Sages are all gone.
On the hills, only the Arnold siblings remained.
"It seems that Beelzebub has indeed been forced to be in a hurry, and he has sent all the remaining high-level combat forces under his command at once, just to assassinate us."
Anna sneered.
Arnold shook his head.
"It's all or nothing...... Rather than be slowly encroached upon, it is better to give it a go, as long as it can kill us, then Trasur's offensive will collapse. β
"It is worthy of the 'blazing sun' of the past, and in order to draw out Beelzebub's only remaining high-level combat power, he will wipe it out...... It's a pity that you have lost your personality and strength, and now you are just an ordinary person. β
At this moment, a voice suddenly appeared.
McNeill, the president of the History and Ritual Society, dressed in a light brown suit, stood indifferently in front of two tall horses, raising his hand to grab it.
"Dare to go to the front line to supervise the battle, you are too confident......"
However, the next moment.
A boxy stone platform "grew" from the hill and lifted the Arnold siblings to a high place, and a pillar of light shone straight on McNeil's body.
The latter couldn't help but stop moving, looking stunned.
"If you don't do that, how can you be lured out? Mr. McNeill? β
Arnold sat on his horse and looked down with a smile.
McNeil's eyes narrowed.
He soon saw three figures slowly appear outside the pillar of light, a white-haired old man, a bald man, and a familiar lady.
Archbishops Pope Floy and Carmen Martin are impressive.
"Church of the Dawn, the ...... of the three demigods"
Although McNeil was calculated, he was also indifferent.
This is but an incarnation of Him.
"Rest assured, this is just the beginning."
Floy's ethereal voice said lightly.
"Hundreds of thousands of legions of transcendent immortals, led by the Church of the Dawn, have entered Beelzebub from the spirit realm...... At that time, the History and Ritual Association, as well as the people of the Hailing Regiment, will kill one by one, and there will be no need for you to exist. β
McNeill's eyes twitched.
Listen to Floy continue:
"The last time we had a fight, you ran away...... It doesn't matter, this time there is something from the King of Cang, and Archbishop Carmen's 'Divination Scroll' will surely find your right place...... I hope you're still able to run. β
"Damn ......"
The more McNeill listened, the more frightened he became.
However, before it was his turn to speak harshly, the golden pillar of light that imprisoned him suddenly closed, and the incomparable flame of mythology instantly annihilated his incarnation.
In Beelzebub, the royal city of Soridite.
In the main hall of the Obsidian Palace, Mansfield, the Rose King, convened a meeting of the top leaders of the major powers.
"Your Majesty, the 'Hand of Berry' joined the Hailing Regiment some time ago, and this will be a secret weapon for us, and if it can be used properly, it will play an unexpected role......"
McNeil was listening to the advice of the new head of the Hailing Regiment, a male abyssal demigod, and his brow furrowed.
There was a flash of pain and madness in his eyes, and he quickly returned to his original state.
"My avatar is ruined......"

Boom β
The eastern city of Beelzebub, Strauss.
Violent explosions are taking place everywhere.
The crowd fled in terror, screaming and screaming.
Some transcendents wearing blue robes and dark green vests on the outside were even more like they had encountered something terrifying, and they ran for their lives.
However, slender shadows followed, stretching like tentacles on the ground, on the walls, and even in mid-air, quickly engulfing them.
"All the members of the Hand of Bellier will be killed, and not a single one will be left."
Speaker Azgierro, dressed in a gray robe, walked slowly down the street and spoke calmly.
"Yes, Speaker."
One by one, the members of the generous parliament replied in unison.
A few blocks away, under a dilapidated building in a slum.
A woman with linen hair and a ponytail was sitting against a wall, her eyes staring somewhere, as if waiting for something.
"Irina, calm down, you need a chance...... As long as you kill one more contestant, you will be rewarded with the gift of the Grand Gon, so that you can complete the accumulation and start to move up the ranks...... At that time, the odds of Honor Carnival will be greater, and you will be the final winner! Get the supreme gift of the sea god! β
The woman silently encouraged herself.
Soon, there was a rush of chaotic footsteps.
Irina looked up and saw a bloodied and badly injured woman stumbling into the slum.
The other party is also wearing the costume unique to the "Hand of Bellier".
Irina couldn't help but light up in her eyes, and then she was restrained.
Bloodthirsty excitement flashed across her face, and after taking a few deep breaths, she quietly stood up and walked towards the badly injured woman.
As if sensing something, the other party stopped abruptly and turned his head, with a stunned expression on his bloodstained face.
"Entrant ......"
As she spoke, her face changed suddenly.
"Hey! Listen! The Council of Generosity is sweeping the city, and all the transcendents who stand on this land are their targets...... Even if you kill me, you won't be able to escape, let alone win that so-called 'carnival' victory? β
"Ignorance."
Irina said coldly.
She suddenly dodged forward, her palms covered in fish scales together, and her sharp nails were like sharp blades, instantly piercing the opponent's left chest, slicing open the heart.
Poofβ
The woman was indeed so badly injured that she didn't even have the strength to dodge, and after being struck by Irina, she collapsed into her arms.
"You...... You damn mounting, I curse you for not dying well. β
The woman's eyes widened, blood spilled from the corners of her mouth, her expression was painfully distorted, and she said hideously.
Irina had a cold face and pushed backhand.
Immediately, with a swipe of the palm, he directly beheaded the opponent.
The corpse plopped and fell in a pool of blood.
Irina glanced down, picked up the mysterious substance precipitated by the other party, suppressed the joy and excitement in her heart, turned around, and fled at a very fast speed.
She found an uninhabited dilapidated house, jumped up to the third floor, entered one of the rooms, leaned against the corner and closed her eyes.
"The great king of the deep divers, the bottom of the sea deeper than the abyss, the seeker of Bethile, the crown of the great...... Contestant Irina, I beg for your audience. β
Irina prayed silently.
Soon, a wave of drowsiness hit.
When she opened her eyes again, she found herself on the dilapidated and dimly lit beach of the bay, and the tide was still roaring.
In the distance, the sea was rough, the sky was dark, and lightning and thunder roared.
The square stone pillar that stood in the middle of the sea, on which the fish-headed giant clinged.
"Irina, well done......"
Dagon's voice was still like rolling thunder, resounding throughout the bay.
"There are nine contestants in the 'Glory Carnival', and now only you, Lucy, and Boone are left...... Go ahead, kill them and you'll be the ultimate winner. β
As he spoke, the giant fish-man raised a large hand.
The invisible power of myth descended, and the salty sea breeze blew.
Irina suddenly found that her mysterious accumulation had increased rapidly, and in just a few breaths, it had reached an extremely deep level.
is only one step away from the high-ranking sage, only the promotion ceremony.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Irina crouched on the ground, her head pressed against the sand, and thanked her respectfully.
Dagon's indifferent voice continued:
"Irina, you need to be aware that the other two contestants are in a very special state and are in a very dangerous position, you must be-"
Ground.
A terrifying roar rang in Irina's ears.
"Damn!!"
It's the roar under the crown of the Great Gon.
I don't know if it's an illusion, Irina even heard a hint of fear from this roar.
When she looked up, she saw the most unforgettable scene of her life.
I saw the sea in the distance, on the ancient square stone pillar, the great crown leaned back in anger, and above his head, there was a figure in a pale ragged robe, tearing through the border of this dream, leaning inβ
It was a man with a rusty iron crown and long pale hair!
His expression was neither joyful nor sad, and his eyes were half-closed.
Stretch out your hand and grab it under the crown!
Irina only felt a stinging pain in her eyes, and bloody tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.
"Cangwang !!"
Dagon's roar was like thunder.
Irina's consciousness was blurred, and she suddenly woke up from her dream.
"Ho-"
She jerked to her feet, gasping for air, her face full of horror.
In the silent and dilapidated room, there was only the sound of his own heavy and rapid breathing.
The Great Crown......
I was attacked by another angel!
Cangwang ......
It's the King of Coats, Jakespet!
The terrifying existence that killed Andrei the Great in the first place!
It took a long time for Irina to calm down from her panic, and then she became uneasy.
The last admonition of the Grand Gon was not finished.
What does that mean exactly......
*
*
*
The Sun Continent, the Misty Sea in the Far East.
Tens of thousands of meters of seabed, lightless, secluded, silent......
Rumble β
A dull burst of air rang out.
A giant black shadow descended at breakneck speed, swimming deeper to the bottom of the ocean, spilling a thick blue ink of mythical blood along the way.
The blood beads do not spread when they meet the water, but are like round and full pearls, slowly sinking...... Many trolls roaming the deep sea, after touching these blood beads, either festered and rotted in a few breaths, turning into puddles of pus, or underwent violent distortion.
This abyss-like seabed, the sea pressure can instantly crush the steel, with the level of technology on the Sun Continent, no conventional means can reach such a deep underwater...... But none of this could stop the swift movements of the huge black shadow.
"Garcia, where do you want to go?"
An indifferent voice suddenly rang in Dagon's mind.
A hundred meters behind him, a ragged figure in a pale robe was chasing after him at a rapid pace.
Dagon didn't look back, desperately swimming down the water.
Sou!
The ragged robe twisted and condensed into one point.
The next second, it bloomed from the side of the giant fishman.
Under the crown of rusty iron, the pale hair danced in the water, and the eyes were half-open on a man's face as perfect as a work of art.
"The island has sunk, and you, as the king of deep divers, won't you go with him?"
The ivory-white carved cross sword in his hand slashed through the sea water, stabbed straight into the body of the fish-headed giant, slashed through the incomparable scales, and pierced through the abdomen!
Dagon howled.
He swung his webbed claws, condensed the swing of thunder and lightning, and slapped his backhand.
Knock Rum!!
A sea of no light, a flash of light.
The twisted electric python seems to bloom in solidified amber.
However, the Cangwang had already flickered away.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Dagon tossed his body, and the whole person was like a streamlined thunderbolt, swaying and diving, and swimming thousands of meters in the blink of an eye.
Beads of blood were splashed like streamers along the way......
Dagon was terrified.
He dignified himself from the deep sea from God, Sequence 1 [Dream Worm], but was chased and killed by a Sequence 2 angel...... What is even more incomprehensible is that even when it comes to a head-to-head confrontation, it is difficult for Him to contend with it.
The other party not only has the same physical fitness as himself, but with his authority and sequence ability, he can arbitrarily erase the traces of his own existence.
In the competition for power, Dagon is completely at a disadvantage.
With a black eye, how to fight?
After only a brief encounter, he judged that his odds were not good, and he fled quickly.
After the last battle of Amahara, Dagon didn't dare to underestimate King Cang at all.
This time, I was even more jealous of it.
Avoid it!
No pestering!
When Sebastian Pado's "Carnival of Honor" decides the final winner, then it will be the death of the King of Cang......
Dagon Garcia kept warning himself in his heart that he couldn't turn back, and he couldn't be entangled by King Cang, otherwise the person who died must be himself!
However, the Path of Destiny was originally a master of the space stage, and with teleportation, Dagon couldn't close the distance at all......
Dive all the way to the bottom of the sea of 100,000 meters, and he was hit by the seven or eight swords of King Cang.
If it weren't for Dagon's rough skin and thick flesh, he would have become a dead fish long ago.
Eventually, in a frenzy, he took his last breath and dragged his wounded body into an ancient ruin that was entrenched at the bottom of the sea.
What a majestic complex......
Chen Lun stared at the ruins.
It should be said that it is not a spectacle that humans can build at all.
The city agglomeration is quite ancient and large, but at present, all that remains is the ruins of the rock formations at the bottom of the sea, and every wall or building remains is inscribed with an ancient script, which is an older language than the Yanita script.
At least, Chen Lun didn't recognize it.
He stopped above the "lost city" and did not pursue any further, for his spiritual instincts warned him of the danger of continuing to get closer.
Chen Lun looked at Dagon's figure expressionlessly, and finally disappeared behind the buildings of the Lost City.
He really didn't expect Dagon's vitality to be so tenacious.
It's even thicker than Mr. Lonely Island's "blood bar".
"Forget it, the crystals have been planted, Garcia has been stabbed by me seven or eight times, even if he is not dead, he will be crippled, and he will not want to show up again for tens or hundreds of years......
Chen Lun restored his original human form and couldn't help but think.
I can't help but regret it.
At this moment, a square door suddenly appeared beside him, and the bronze door panel was carved with an Ouroboros relief.
The door slowly opened from the inside out, and an Oscar, dressed in a black vintage robe, top hat, and two mustaches, stepped out.
"Jack."
The other party smiled, and his voice sounded in Chen Lun's head.
This is the "thought transmission" of the path of fate.
"Mr. Oscar, is this your body?"
Chen Lun seemed to sense something, and also used "thought transmission" to communicate with him.
Oscar nodded, his expression slightly serious.
"I've been here all along, guarding the seal left by Mr. Clough...... It would be wise for you not to pursue it rashly, because Sebastian Pardo, the Eternal Sleeper, is asleep in the lost city of 'Abbasye'. β
"It turns out that this is the ...... 'Abbasye'"
Chen Lun frowned slightly.
In his explorations of the outer continents, he often heard this word.
Among the nine empires, the "state religion" of the Ripple Empire is called the "Abbasyes Order", which believes in the "Lord of Abbasyah", which is actually the Eternal Sleeper.
"Even I, who have been guarding outside the Lost City all these years, have never entered Abbasyah...... Because once you get close, you are likely to be dragged into the deepest part of the dream world by the power of the Eternal Sleeper. β
Oscar sent a message.
"There are not only the main body of the mud man, but also the remnants of the 'eternal nightmare' that belong to the old 'eternal nightmare' that live in the body of the Eternal Sleeper, which is quite dangerous."
"No wonder Dagon is running away from here......"
Chen Lun sneered.
"He didn't think I would dare to chase after me."
Oscar nodded, relieved:
"Let him live for a while longer, and when you become a god, there will be more ways to kill him."
Chen Lun thought about it and asked Oscar again:
"Dagon has been badly injured by me, will he also enter the dream realm if he wants to sleep?"
Oscar raised his eyebrows, as if he had guessed something.
He bowed his head again.
"Nine times out of ten, because the dream realm is ultimately a dream of the Eternal Sleeper, where Dagon's situation will be very safe, and at the same time, he will be able to absorb the power of the sea god, so as to recover his injuries and strength faster."
Chen Lun couldn't help grinning when he heard this.
Oscar glanced at him, and seemed to read a little ill-intentioned in that smile.
"What are you going to do?"
"Add some spice to the dreams of the Sleeper."
*
*
*
Walk through the unattended "Sleeping Gate" again.
Chen Lun walked down the 699 steps and stood on the last step, without stepping into the dream world.
He stood where he was, looking at the scene in front of him, which was not much different from the fairyland, and slowly raised his hand.
In the palm of his hand, a crystalline cube spun non-stop.
'Want to get a good night's sleep?' β
Chen Lun smiled lightly, and casually threw the [Boundless Distance] in his palm, and the brilliant crystalline cube swooped into the dream realm and fell in the gray forest not far away.
With a bang, it smashed into a towering tree and turned into dust...... Almost at a speed visible to the naked eye, the entire tree climbed with crystals and turned into a pale tree-like sculpture.
The cangyi continued to spread around, wantonly eroding the earth and vegetation.
Everything as far as the eye can see is rapidly fading its original color.
It is as if the paint of the picture has been washed away and dissipated, leaving only pale lines.
Even if it's a dream, it's a nightmare about King Cang. β
Chen Lun seemed to feel still angry.
This time, he raised his hands, and two crystalline squares appeared again in his left and right palms.
"Go."
Chen Lun waved his hand.
The two crystalline blocks flew farther away.
"Not enough!"
Chen Lun consumed the massive amount of physical strength accumulated in the "Year Scene", drove his own mythical power, and once again condensed five or six crystalline cubes, without money, and delivered his "gift" to the dream world.
Boom! Boom!
Bang bang bang!
I only heard the crisp sound, and the bright pale dust bloomed like fireworks.
Originally, the entire colorful dream world seemed to be infected by a virus, and the living creatures stiffened and withered in the pale color, and everything was developing towards death......
Suddenly, Chen Lun felt a strong warning from his spiritual intuition.
He sneered.
Clapped his hands, turned and disappeared in place.
The next second.
An old man shrouded in a ragged cloak, carrying a cane with a worn-out package, appeared at the entrance to the dream world.
He was shrouded in a dim light and looked around.
Eventually, a hoarse moan came from the cloak.
Half a day.
He was gone.
It doesn't seem to be going to bother with this......
The depths of the dream world.
The vastness of the starry sky.
Under the high wall at the top of the list, a man with a naked upper body and a disheveled head was sitting against the wall.
His body was covered with sword wounds, and the wounds were covered with crystals.
Under the messy hair, the man's face was expressionless.
He raised his hand and violently scratched the wound, pulling out the crystal-infected flesh and throwing it away.
But in the next second, more crystals grew at a faster rate in the bloody wound.
"Cangwang ......"
Feeling his own power, being devoured and eroded by this crystal, Gon's eyes flashed with deep jealousy, and he gritted his teeth and roared.
I don't know how long it took, but the man frowned.
He seemed to sense something, and slowly stood up.
At the end of the starry sky, the floating continent was turning pale at an increasing speed.
Dagon was stunned.
Once again, He looked down at the wound on his body.
That fear gradually turned into fear......
There is only one chapter today
