To the west of Capernaum's Cathedral, near "Petticoat Lane".

A tall, handsome, middle-aged man plunged a knight's sword with intricate etchings into his enemy's chest and ripped off the robe that his enemy used to hide his face.

There were many black-robed corpses lying on the ground, and there was no breath of life. The man's half-length blonde hair was drenched with sweat, his white stand-up collar cloak was casually thrown aside, and he had a slightly excited expression on his face.

Like a bard, after a long and boring journey, he finally saw a scenery that he was more satisfied with, and the poems that were full of inspiration, majestic imagery or chic poetry have lingered in his mind.

He wanted to see who his opponent was, and although the entanglement had only lasted for a few minutes, it had been a long time since the xenomorphs had been cleaned up.

Even if I didn't really make a move in the whole process.

After sparing the fake little daughter of King Zossai, the man was ambushed in this narrow and closed alley.

The other party seems to be a group of assassins of the old era, who have their own disdain for the new thermal weapon of the revolver, and even use daggers as weapons all of them, and he has to admit that these people's daggers are used well.

But it's just good, in front of this knight's sword in his hand, everything is scrap metal.

As the leader of the Ash Squad and the Rising Sun Paladin of Sword VII, he had seen so many such assassins that he didn't even need to look at them to know that the daggers of uniform shape had a scorpion holding the moon between its front paws carved into the short blades.

[Scorpion of the Moon].

This is a new mercenary group that has emerged in recent years, and it seems to have mastered the "Pollution Card" of the 'Scepter' deck, which symbolizes disease, plague, natural disasters and war, and has caused many tragic incidents, and it is also one of the secret organizations that the Ashes Team has recently focused on tracking.

It's a covert organization again.

The man frowned.

Perhaps these covert organizations played some role in the eradication of xenomorphs before, but times have changed, and these organizations have all been paid their due, whether it is the "pollution card", gold and power, and now it is time for them to pay the price for the previous transgression.

This is true of the Golden Tail Academy, the "Moon Scorpion", the same is true of the Dark Alchemy Society, and even the [Garden of Eden] with its power all over the Mir Continent.

He didn't expect that when he first arrived in Cavides, these people who should have been hiding in a dark corner would take the initiative to find him at this moment.

With these fragments of thought and a little curiosity and excitement, the man casually threw the robe aside, but then the excitement on his face froze.

He saw an incomprehensible picture.

The masked body of the Assassin leader turned out to be a shriveled skeleton adorned with jewels.

The skeleton was extremely well proportioned, and it was supposed to be a natural warrior when he was alive. On the neck, shoulders, wrists, and chest, he wears necklaces, wrist guards, and other ornaments made of yellow Ceylon stone, and there is a strong jewel in the shattered vitality, which looks contradictory and shocking.

"Spear of Light ......"

The skeleton that had been pierced through the chest by the giant sword was not completely dead, and from the hoarse voice, it could be inferred that it was an adult man, and he was staring at the knight's sword in his chest at the moment.

The etching on it is a round of sun, and countless ridges of light are scattered in all directions, and the scorching and manic breath comes from above.

The middle-aged man pulled out his long sword, and the force sank, and even the body with the skeleton was pulled upward.

"You know this greatsword, and you should know who I am."

【Rising Sun Knight】Avani swept away the smudges on the blade and said softly.

The sword's name is none other than the Spear of Light, one of the seven legendary greatswords created by Agares, and belongs to the legendary master's early works.

It was bestowed upon Avani by the Redstone royal family, and the effects attached to the blade are a perfect match for the Rising Sun Knight's abilities.

"Say what you know, and I can banish you completely, and your spirit will no longer exist, and you will not be judged by the [Tribunal of Battle] or imprisoned in Thomas's Book of the Blessings."

There was a confidence in Avani's tone, and he knew that the skeleton understood what the Battle Court and the Book of Blessings meant to the spirits.

It was a more terrifying existence than the legendary hell.

Instead of responding to his question, the skeleton said in a hoarse voice mockingly:

"This body is just a zombie."

"Besides, it was part of the plan."

"The Flower of Evil Omen has been planted, the Black Mandala is about to bloom, and the order you have built with blood is about to collapse......

After saying that, the zombie's eyes began to lose their luster, and its mouth was no longer closed.

Avani was alert, and the spirit in front of him was also the words in his mouth.

Then, the zombie and the fallen corpses around it began to change in a certain way.

The Ceylon stone on the skeleton's body began to shimmer with an eerie sheen, and countless fine cracks appeared on the surface.

Then, the shriveled skin of the skeleton and the other corpses suddenly grew a lot of blue-black blisters, the blisters quickly grew larger, twisted vines sprouted and spread in them, and black mandala buds bloomed in an instant.

As the mandala bloomed, bursts of yellow smoke drifted out of the stamens, filling the entire alley in the blink of an eye.

Avani retreated as the vines appeared, but the yellow mist that followed pressed in, forcing him almost out of the alley.

He observed that the mantle that belonged to him on the ground quickly melted away in the yellow mist, as if it had been corroded by some strong acid.

This is a shoddy trick for the captain, but this is not a dense forest or a desert, and there are many ordinary people living around.

Seeing that the yellow mist was about to drift away and blend into the surrounding alleys and houses, Afani held up the [Spear of Light] with a solemn expression.

This sun-etched knight's sword pointed straight into the air, like a spear piercing the darkness.

Then, on the sword body of the long sword, a bright light suddenly bloomed.

This light is like a slowly rising sun, which makes people can't help but want to worship, want to walk into it and feel the bone-eroding heat.

It's like embracing the Light.

This is one of the effects attached to this Spear of Light: "Burning Sun".

The reason why Agareth is called "Legendary Giant" is mainly due to the seven legendary greatswords he created, although they are collectively called greatswords, these seven weapons are of different lengths and shapes.

No one knows what material Agareth made of these seven greatswords, some say they are the bodies of the progenitor-level xenomorphs, some say they are meteorites from aliens, the world ruled by the ancient gods.

But there is one thing that has been affirmed by many high-level accommodators of the "Bell" deck, and that is that none of the seven swords contain a genesis card, and none of them are magical items created by fusing the genesis card, and none of them have anything to do with the genesis card.

This means that the power revealed by these seven weapons is beyond the mystical system of this world, and means a source of power outside of the creation card, which makes those who come into contact with this truth feel instinctive fear.

It's a fear of the unknown.

......

As soon as the corrosive yellow mist touched the glow of the rising sun, it was purified by this incomparably clear light.

The black mandalas and numerous vines that grew from those "spirit warriors" also quickly withered after emitting yellow mist, and finally turned into black powder and dissipated in the wind.

Avani didn't stop there.

He held the Spear of Light aloft, spreading the glow of the Scorching Sun to every corner of Petticoat Alley, until the bodies of the zombies were about to melt under the scorching light, and he stopped.

Countless combat experiences have taught him that the effect of the "pollution card" is unpredictable, and when he has the upper hand, he must give a lethal attack, eliminate all possibilities, and never give the opponent a chance to fight back.

Avani inserted the Spear of Light into the scabbard and approached the corpse of the Assassin leader, crouched down, and began to examine the Zombie's body in detail.

He found nothing other than a ring that appeared to be silver.

This took him by surprise.

Although he searched carefully, he only followed the process, and he didn't think he could find anything at all.

These zombies exist as dead soldiers, and the purpose of coming here is to assassinate and delay time, and it is impossible to leave any useful items on their bodies.

He looked at the ring that had been taken from the Zombie's index finger, and it didn't look anything special on the outside, it was just that silver had simply surrounded the city in a circle, but he found two engraved flowers in the inner circle.

Avani identified it as the "Grey Castle".

A name that has not been heard of.

The legendary captain was immediately keenly aware that this was a provocation.

In other words, it is a covert organization that declares war on the Ash Squad and the royal family.

As he searched his mind for information, a fluctuation that made his heart palpitate came from the direction of Capernaum.

Soon, it was the second and third formations...... Like a pebble smashing into the water, the splashing ripples struck him in circles.

Avani clenched the ring in his hand, looked in the direction of the cathedral, and muttered:

"It alarmed [the king's right hand]... Stanley and Thomas can't handle it together......"

-------------------------------------

At this time in the Cathedral of Capernaum.

Martin looked at the countless slippery tentacles in front of him, and while he struggled to dodge the attacks of these thick tentacles, he asked Hines not far away with strong doubts:

"Mr. Hines, what are these?"

From the change in the form of the [Wavechasers] just now to the appearance of these huge tentacles, all of this happened too quickly and too shocking for Martin.

Hines was holding his staff aloft at the moment, and the omniscient eye on the staff had been opened, emitting a soft green glow, and the approaching tentacles were unnaturally twisted, and the closer they got to the center of the light, the smaller they became, like delicate tentacles that had just grown.

Hines frowned, his eyes fixed on the massive half-severed arm above the pulpit, made of broken armor, broken blood vessels with black pus and blood flowing from the fractures, scales, and several large nodules, from which countless thick tentacles protruded.

Martin only heard Hines reply in a deep voice:

"The King's Right Hand."
