For millennia, Mokai has been fighting furiously to banish the Scourge of Immortality from the Isle of Shadows and restore the beauty of its homeland.

Ahri swears that he has a way to defeat the Ruined King and can use the World Rune, and of course Mokai will not refuse.

Anyway, he didn't have much time left.

Mauchai gave Ahri a tree seed, and the roots of his underground tendrils were haunted by a cloud of black mist that roamed the underground palace, which was the main factor in his weakened power.

Ahri needs to take the tree to the Bajou Forge, begging Naga Kapoulos to infuse it with life power, then use it to dispel the black mist, and then use the life force to reawaken Mokai's roots.

In this way, he will be able to regain a considerable part of his strength, and he will be able to compete with the spider god who has built a nest underneath Helia.

With a deal with Mokai, Ahri leaves the jungle and calls Josh and Gwen.

The feeling of being stared at by an unknown being hidden in the shadows was enough to make any ordinary person who passed by shudder.

Josh could easily sense the saplings lurking around him, scented with the scent of eaux-de-vie.

They are all hostile to themselves, or more precisely, to the Dance of Death, Lunihia, who has been corrupted by blood magic.

On the contrary, it was Gwen, and the life breath of the holy mist on her body attracted the saplings, and even the more daring little ones ran directly to her feet.

But when Gwen bent over to pick them up, she hurried away shyly.

As early as the ruin occurred, Maokai dug his roots deep into the underground vein springs, pumping the water of life as much as he could, and extracting the roots back at the moment when the corrupting forces attacked.

With Maokai's guards, the cursed undead who dare to attack the twisted jungle will be completely eradicated and purified by him using the power of the water of life.

Along the way, the three of them were not attacked by the black fog.

After spending several hours, resting and simply eating some dry food to fill their stomachs, Josh and the three finally left the vast forest.

And it took another two hours to walk through two dilapidated villages.

During this time, they were attacked by the souls of the dead who had been forcibly pulled back to reality and formed a strange appearance with animals or farm tools.

But they were just poor souls imprisoned by their old obsessions, tormented by a cycle of torment, and Gwen begged Josh and Ahri to stop, and it took a little time for her to purify them completely.

As the night receded, a glimmer of morning sun rose in the dark sky, casting an insignificant glow on the dim land of the curse.

Dusty, gravel and littered with marble drawbridges straddled by chains spanned by foul-smelling streams of muddy water, a "palace" far larger than the Temple of Bajou stretched at the end of the road, blocking Josh, Ahri, and Gwen in their path.

"It's finally here." Ahri stretched lazily, showing off her well-trained and delicate body, "The black mist here is full of anger and pain. ”

"It's a prison for Hammerstone, after all."

Josh didn't like the smell of it.

Even with the protection of the Arcane Barrier, these violent mists of corruption can try to stir on his negative emotions.

Just like a mosquito net at night, mosquitoes can't bite people, they can only buzz, and they can't have an impact on the human body.

Josh was able to block out these negativity, but he always felt a sense of relief.

"What a magnificent gate! It's almost past the palace gates of Kamavia! Gwen covered her mouth and exclaimed quietly.

Ahri chuckled, "Where is this?" When you see the Tower of Light, you'll know what grandeur is. ”

Then, she stretched out her palms in front of Josh and hooked her fingers, "Bring me your half of the Sunstone."

Vasani's Sun Stone can be used as a master key, just like the keystone used to open the Manzai Well.

The Keystone can open any of the Hammerstone Vaults, while the Vasani Sunstone can open all of Vasani's mechanisms.

"This door is forbidden by black magic, and I don't think the Sun Stone can be opened." Josh said as he pulled out half a stone from his inner pocket and handed it to Ahri.

"Of course I know, isn't there still you~~"

Ahri clasped the Sunstone and poured magic into it, her eyes motioning for Josh to lift the dark magic ban attached to the door.

"Don't break the door, maybe it will come in handy when we solve the problem of the Black Mist."

"The place where the hammer stone imprisons and tortures souls, you plan to use it too?"

While talking to Ahri, Josh walked to the door, energy surging in his veins, and purple-blue arcane runes on his skin poured out of his fingertips as he manipulated.

The runes touched the forbidden black magic of an unknown type, but mixed with a lot of black mist, making a corrosive sound of "zilala".

But as time passed, the arcane energy that was enough to blast through several meters of rock was quickly depleted like a stone into the sea, without affecting the entire prohibition in the slightest.

Josh raised an eyebrow, surprised.

The method of lifting the seal of the forbidden land that he learned from Rezna didn't come in the slightest at this moment?

[Fool, this is pure ruined magic, you should purify it with the power of life, or you will have to dismantle it.] 】

As soon as Runicia finished speaking, Ahri behind her walked up behind Josh and asked, "Are you in trouble?" ”

"Lunicia said that only pure life force can break the seal on the door."

Ahri pursed the corners of his mouth, "It seems that this hammer stone is still a little capable." ”

Although the psychic magic used by Ahri also has the power of life, it is not far behind in terms of "purity".

Hearing the conversation between the two, Gwen stepped forward, "Life force? Can I try it? ”

Josh and Ahri looked at her at the same time and said in unison, "Do you know how to seal magic?" ”

"Hmm......"

Gwen put on a distressed look, then shook her little face, indicating that she didn't understand.

Although the magic of the Holy Mist is derived from the water of life, it is a pure life force.

But Gwen doesn't do anything other than use the Haze to fight.

Breaking the seal is a technical task, and even if Gwen is a genius at using magic, she will be taught how long it will take.

What's more, there are now simpler and cruder ways to do it.

"If Aloy comes and summons the power of Naga Kapolos with her gods, it should be easy to break the seal."

Josh looked sideways at Ahri, "Is that okay?" ”

"That's it, that's the only way now." Ahri sighed helplessly, "If you can, can you try not to break the door?" ”

"I can only promise...... I try my best. ”

With that, Ahri pulled Gwen back away from Josh, while he closed his eyes and channeled the magic.

The arcane glow soon overcame Josh himself, and the World Rune Transcendental flew out of the box he carried in his satchel and melted into his body as pure energy.

Using the power of the world rune, the black magic prohibition can be torn open directly with bare hands, and even the rune lock and the trap lock are superimposed, and the extremely complex door lock does not need to be opened by Ahri's sun stone, and is directly pried open by the magic of the world rune.

The stone door of the opposite door slowly opened, and the whole was wrapped in dense black mist, showing a wide hall of gray and green that greeted the eyes of the three people.

"It's going well."

"Tsk, that's so convenient, if only I could use the World Rune as well." Ahri smacked his lips in surprise, but it was just talking.

At least so far, in addition to Josh, who can directly use the power of the world's runes, and Ruiz, who is strong enough to resist the temptation of the world's runes, but does not dare to cross the bottom line, Ahri has never seen anyone who can resist the power of the world's origin.

"I didn't feel the scent of Hammerstone, he's not here."

Josh's blue eyes instantly caught up in everything in the vast vault, "But Hammerstone has a lot of minions here...... Wait a minute! What is this breath? ”

【Demon! Lunicia was surprised, "Did that skull actually make a pact with the demon?" 】

"Ahri, Gwen, be careful! There's a demonic breath here! Josh frowned slightly, "This breath...... It doesn't seem to be weak yet. ”

Through transcendent perception, this demon could exude more aura than the very weak Maokai.

Due to the peculiarities of demons, their true names must be known in order to expel them.

Without the power of the World Rune Shards, Josh, Ahri, and Gwen alone would be able to defeat the demons stationed in the depths of the vault, but there would be no way to expel them from the physical realm.

What's more, if this demon has any special abilities, even if it has the enhancement of the transcendent world rune, it may not be able to help that guy.

"Hey, I thought it would go well...... Hammerstone is not here, and there are so many troublesome guys. ”

Ahri's right hand condensed the soul orb, squinting his eyes into the distance and sensing the aura coming, the subordinates controlled by the hammerstone, each of the undead who had at least the strength of the sunken.

Gwen was also fully equipped, and if it hadn't been for Josh's reminder that there were demons here, she would have rushed forward to purify all these cursed spirits.

Josh raised his hand to cast the Rune Prison, and instead of killing the undead, he gathered them together, "Gwen! ”

"I understand!"

Gwen waved her hand, and the illusory needle and thread appeared in her hand out of thin air.

With the urging of the Holy Mist's magic, the thin needles suddenly grew and grew larger, piercing through the undead spirits imprisoned by rune magic under Gwen's control, and destroying them all.

The front is advancing rapidly, and as long as there are undead who dare to approach, they are all concocted by Josh and Gwen in the same way, and they are completely eradicated.

Passing through the long corridors, some of the storehouses that were originally used to store arcane artifacts have been converted into torture cages by hammerstone.

Souls of all shapes are imprisoned and wailing in pain, most of them retaining their own sanity.

As soon as they saw the three of Josh, the crying souls immediately slammed into the dark prohibition that came from the same source as the entrance door of the vault, begging Josh to release them, and some even exchanged them for magical treasures.

Except for some of the souls that were captured by Hammerstone during the Night of Soul Eclipse, and were not destroyed, most of them were fused with the black mist.

The soul strengthens the magic of the hammerstone, so Josh releases it one by one regardless of good or evil.

And those evildoers, no longer hiding their malice as soon as they broke the seal, tried to attack Ahri or Gwen, who had relatively weak magical aura.

Josh had seen the ugliness in their hearts as early as the time the seal was lifted, so he was imprisoned by magic the moment he struck, and Gwen's magic scissors attached to the mist followed, cutting it to pieces mercilessly.

As for the good souls who only want to rest, Gwen has them sleeping in her scissors for the time being, and when they return to Bilgewater, they can use the Holy Haze to purify the black fog and release them back to the spiritual realm.

Along the way, freeing the cages along the way, or killing or containing the souls, the three of them eventually arrived at a suspended platform.

A dark golden rhombohedron, which is less than two meters high, is suspended in the center of the platform, and the circular notch reveals a faint green glow similar to that of the dilapidated, and the whole is twisted periodically at an irregular frequency.

【Filthy Demon! Runicia said disdainfully, "While the empire was still alive, no demon dared to set foot in Shurima's territory! Under the light of the sun's disk, nothing strange and strange can hide! 】

"This demon's aura is very powerful, we don't know its real name, or the special abilities it may have, watch out for any possible anomalies."

Josh reminded again, and then walked down the stairs with Ahri and Gwen and stood on the platform.

At the same time, an ancient and unknown voice that could not distinguish between men and women said slowly: "You can distinguish ...... from your breath."

As soon as he said a word, the voice made by the rhombohedral suddenly stopped, "Wait...... Is this the rune of the world, and the breath of the Darkspawn?! Who are you? ”

"My name is Josil Jolenk, nicknamed Jojo, what are you?"

Ahri gave Josh a strange look in her eyes, but she didn't say much.

In the face of demons with unknown abilities, not revealing your true name is the right choice.

Even with the blessing of the World Rune, Josh will not hold it up.

"Oh, in the presence of the great Amun, there is nowhere to hide any lie! However, I don't care what your name is or what power you carry.

"Since you are not corrupted by the curse of the undead, you are the enemies of the hammerstone."

Rhombohedral is full of confidence: "You guys stop here!" Only I can release people into the upper levels here, and I won't help the enemies of Hammerstone! ”
