Chapter 5: Ouroboros

Some time ago......

"Unusual magic element fluctuations detected."

Looking at the tall tower that reached the sky in the distance, the middle-aged man covered in metal armor said solemnly.

He had a handsome face, and between his eyebrows was a knife mark.

Behind him, he carried a huge sword, standing on the earth like a god of war.

"Is it a scourge?"

Behind him, a small group of several people walked up slowly.

The female ranger at the head looked at him with a worried expression.

"Maybe we should go over and have a look." "After all, the Tower of Babel is something that has existed since the last era, and we can't guarantee that something will never appear there. Recently, disasters have become more frequent, and the federal principalities have begun to increase their combat readiness. ”

"If it's worse, what's going to be more trouble out there than we thought?"

Hearing this, the man turned to look at the group behind him.

The members of this group are all young people, and they can be considered outstanding young people in the Federation.

This time, I came out with him to exercise my abilities, and at the same time, I also came to see the rumored disaster.

The identities of several of them are even more extraordinary, that is, he finds them troublesome.

If you are familiar with the legendary-level powerhouse of the Principality of Imaka, you will definitely be shocked when you see this group.

The legendary powerhouse of the Principality of the Federation of Imaka, the strongest swordsman who once single-handedly repelled the calamity, will appear in the peaceful place of the Tower of Babel at this moment.

Since the Twilight Age, the whole world has faced various disasters. Whether it is a natural disaster, or a terrifying monster or even a demon, people collectively refer to it as a disaster.

But the Tower of Babel has never been plagued since it was discovered.

Some say why this phenomenon is happening, some say it's because it's the realm of the gods, while others say it's because it's a defense left behind by humans from the previous era.

But the exact reason for this has always been a mystery.

And as one of the legendary powerhouses of mankind, Crow has not pioneered on the borders of the principality. But when he ran here, there must be something hidden in it.

"Whatever happens to you, you must obey my orders." The middle-aged man said calmly. "I'll tell you again, it's not a mock drill at school, and it's not a pretend game."

"Rather, it is the duty to face the test of life and death, and to maintain the peace of the principality."

"If you haven't even prepared for this, I advise you not to think about joining the Border Knights to fight against the scourge, and to go home and be a good baby."

As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, he saw a young man standing up with a flushed face.

He looked at the middle-aged man and said loudly, "Uncle Crow, although you are a legend of the Federation, I don't think my consciousness is worse than yours. ”

The middle-aged man named Crow looked at the young man, and after being silent for a while, he smiled: "You are Skavi's nephew?" ”

"I still like the name you call me, Slok Vane." The young man said loudly. "Although I also know the importance of my uncle to the principality, I will not necessarily be worse than my uncle in the future."

"Sloke, I remember your words." Crowe nodded, and said nothing else.

Flip on your horse and look at the tower in the distance.

Crowe said, "Let's go while it's still dark." ”

The group galloped towards the tower.

Slok rode on his horse, his heart boiling.

He is the nephew of the legendary Archmage Skavi and a graduate of the Principality's highest magical school.

But no one wants to live in the shadow of others all the time, despite the fact that he has received a lot of preferential treatment because of his uncle Skawi.

Srock was a proud man, and he wanted to engrave his name on the monument of the principality.

He also wants the world to know that the Vane family is not just a legend of Skawi.

This time, the Principality sent someone to investigate the anomaly in the Tower of Babel, and Slok took the initiative to sign up.

Although he doesn't have much experience in real combat yet.

The closer you get to the Tower of Babel, the more you marvel at its grandeur.

No one could have imagined that this tower had been erected here for tens of thousands of years.

From the founding of the Duchy of Imaka, it was located in the northernmost part of the Duchy.

It is rumored that those who climb the Tower of Babel can meet Odel, the mother of the earth, and can be protected by the mother goddess.

But it's still just a legend.

Because, no one will be able to get out of the Tower of Babel.

None of the people who walked into the Tower of Babel ever came out again.

Walk near the Tower of Babel and look up at the building, known as the Tower of Babel.

Crowe's expression grew darker and darker.

He felt an indescribable wave of magic spilling out of the tower, a feeling of emptiness and nothingness.

This kind of disorderly fluctuation can only be seen in those horrible calamities.

Crowe stopped his horse and looked at the arch of the Tower of Babel.

"Anything?" The female ranger beside her glanced at Crowe.

“…… I sensed that something was coming out. ”

Crow put his hands behind his back and looked at the Tower of Babel warily.

As soon as he finished speaking, a strange figure appeared in the door of the Tower of Babel, which suddenly opened.

Crowe's eyes shrank slightly, and he shouted angrily: "Level 1 tactical formation!" Detection magic on! ”

The young men were stunned for a moment when they listened, and then hurriedly guarded the places in a fighting posture.

The Frontier Knights use different tactics for different levels of calamity.

The first-level tactical formation is already the highest level of the Federation.

Crowe, this legendary powerhouse, is like a great enemy at this moment.

As soon as the formation was set, everyone saw strange figures make incomprehensible movements towards them, and their mouths also uttered blasphemous words that were shocking, incomprehensible and incomprehensible:

“Καλῶςγράφεις.”

Whether it was the strange and distorted movements, or the unrepercussive response of the magic element detection, it made Crowe's heart tremble.

Crowe had had the privilege of seeing nature's calamity, a horror that destroyed the world.

Now he felt something similar from the mysterious man, which contained the same magic essence as the storm.

This is a city-destroying calamity, Crowe thought to himself.

A catastrophe of the level of annihilation, even a legendary powerhouse does not dare to defeat it lightly.

Crowe was ready to sacrifice.

In this day and age, anyone can be sacrificed.

There is a sense of sacrifice for everyone.

As long as the human race can continue to survive in this world, even if half of the human race is sacrificed, no one will care.

It's just that when Crowe heard the strange sound of this calamity like sandpaper rubbing against glass, a thought suddenly flashed through his heart.

It is rumored that in the distant sea, there is an incomparably powerful serpent calamity.

It once surrounded the Titans Mountains in distant times, devouring the foundations of the world.

Later, the strongest of mankind joined forces and sealed it at the bottom of the deep sea at the cost of their lives.

This is the Ouroboros that devours the world, also known as the great snake that devours the world.

Ouroboros is sealed away, but it is so powerful that every few hundred years, it comes to earth in the form of dreams, projections of itself.

And the real purpose of Crow and his party is to annihilate the projection that came to the world this time.
