Chapter Seventy-Two: The Moment of Reckoning
In the middle of the mountain range, the trees are particularly dense, and the height of the shrubs and wild grasses are also growing wildly. Insects gnaw on tender green branches and leaves, and they eat at an astonishing rate, like wolves that have never eaten enough for most of their lives. Insects eat a lot and grow fast. But soon they are eaten by another powerful predator, such as green lizards and snakes.
They also grow at an incredible rate like insects, grow in size, and then rapidly age and die, and the growth cycle of several years, or even more than ten years, is quickly completed in just a few days. The area exhibits an eerie sense of prosperity and vibrancy. This is all thanks to the clear spring in the middle of the woods, from which the breath of life emanates.
Any creature that tries to get their hands on it will be attacked by the Earth Guardian Spirit behind the Fountain, and his massive brown stone fist will smash them into flesh. No one could fool him by tricking him under his sunken eyes, which could see through any magic trick.
Squatting in the jungle, Shut was looking for an opportunity to figure out how to get past the massive stone and get closer to the Magical Spring. The wolf demons around them were already impatient, their desire for the spiritual spring burned like a fierce fire, and a sturdy two-toothed beast almost couldn't hold back and rushed out. Fortunately, Xiut was quick to hold down its head so that it didn't ruin the plan.
As a mage, he knew the power of the monolith, and not only did he have an unbreakable defense, but his mastery of the earth elemental was amazing. If you want to deal with him, you must use the Elemental Sealing Method, or find a more powerful Earth Elemental Mage to suppress him. It's a pity that he doesn't have two methods, he's just a fifth-level fire elemental mage, and the fire attack is like tickling on the guardian spirit.
Despite this, he didn't want to give up this rare treasure, and at the same time, he didn't want to find someone to get a piece of the pie, he wanted to monopolize this magical spiritual spring. Relying on the group of wolf demons and two-toothed beasts under his command, he asked the wolf demon to go up to lure away the guardian spirit, and he went around the back to steal the spiritual spring.
That's all he can think of. The wolf demon was quick and quickly attracted the attention of the guardian spirit, and he was about to take pride in the upcoming spiritual spring when the guardian spirit spotted him as a thief. A circular stone pier flew towards him, and the plan failed. The wolf demon died a little half, and his confidence was hit, but he didn't give up.
Kane and the others arrived at a time when Schute was making his third attempt, and like the first two, he still hadn't succeeded. When he was downcast, he saw Kane and them, and he was vigilant and swore viciously that this was the treasure he had discovered first, and that it belonged to him.
In order to prevent the three strangers from attacking him from behind, he summoned the tame wolf demon and the two-toothed beast to keep an eye on Kane and them, trying to scare them away. But Kane and the others were obviously not intimidated by him, and the three of them proposed that they could join forces to take down the spiritual spring, and everyone would share the spoils equally. Shut decisively refused, and he repeatedly emphasized that this was his thing, and no one else could touch it.
"It's so stupid, you can't defeat that guardian spirit at all, you can only watch the treasure here without touching it, what's the use? If you don't cooperate, give up your position, and we'll deal with the big guy. Kane clasped his hands to his chest and said to Schute, "We don't have time to spend with you, you know?" ”
Hut wanted to struggle a little longer, but Neroth's magic scepter made him swallow his words back. The person in front of you is not easy to mess with, and it is wise to accept the previous proposal to take down this treasure together. Although it was heartbreaking, Xiut gave in. He told Kane about his experience with the Guardians. Nefrith's quickly figured out a way to seal the magic, which could seal the guardian spirit for a short time, but it would take a little time.
Kane and Shut could help stall for time, but Ivan wasn't going to meddle in it, because it was too easy for him, and he needed to save a little strength to open another portal.
As soon as he said it, Xiut's younger brother lured the guardian spirit out, and Kane's sword slashed into the hard rock, and the sword was blunt before cutting off a few loose rocks. The Guardian Spirit has rough skin and thick flesh, and has no pain, like a machine that constantly swings its fists. Shut was punched by him and flew out of the body with a heavy blow. Nefrius also activated the sealing technique at this moment, and the guardian spirit statue was a powerless machine that stood still.
Kane and the others ransacked the magical fountain, and Neroth gained great magical power under the nourishment of this powerful magic, and his level rose by one level. Kane also took this spiritual spring, and before Nehris was surprised why he could also take it, Kane released a very powerful blood qi, and the dark aura was even more condensed.
Nelutes immediately recognized Kane's power as blood magic, but instead of rejecting him from possessing this evil power as Kane feared, he was still very interested. Shut was amazed at the strength of the two men, and even more so at the identity of Nerich. He invited the two of them to meet Danton at Iron King Castle.
Hearing the Iron King's Castle, Neroston warily pointed his staff at Xiut. Danton was the younger brother of Kaiser Wilhelm, that is, a member of the dynasty. It seems that the people in front of you are working for the dynasty, so they are friends and foes!
Regarding their hostile attitude, Xiut only laughed and did not say much. Before leaving, he just said, "You will know later, I hope you can come to Iron King Fort when you are in trouble." When the time comes, just report my name to Shut, and believe me, you will need our help. ”
With that, Shut descended from another place with his wolf demon and two-toothed beast.
"What does he mean by that?" Kane looked at Neriches, then turned to look at Ivan.
Ivan's eyes turned blue again, and the greatsword reappeared in his hand, and with a single sword, he slashed a portal in the air.
"Don't look at me, I don't know that, I'm not omniscient. Later, you may know that some time ago, it was rumored that Prince Dandong was going to launch a rebellion. William didn't believe it, and in order to silence those who spread the rumors of Danton's rebellion, he also specially prepared a banquet. Inviting Danton to meet him in Carrot City, he had no doubt that Danton would rebel, and he had always believed in this. ”
"What about Danton? Will he defect? Kane gathered his blood and walked towards the portal.
"Yes, anyone with a discerning eye can see it. It's better for us to take care of the affairs of the Wang family. Ivan entered the portal, and Neroth hit his heels.
He agreed with Ivan's statement that it was not their turn to intervene in the affairs of the royal family, and now that he was already targeted by the church and the Magic Association, it would undoubtedly be worse for them if another dynastic enemy was involved.
Anyway, Ivan still understands Kane very well, and his portal leads directly to the ruined Rand City, which is full of ruined walls, collapsed houses, and grass. The sand and gravel were unfortunate to be painted with dried blood, the dry bones were clinged to shriveled flesh, and rats were scurrying among the rocks, making it a place for lonely ghosts to wander.
Kane was silent, and he stood on the rubble, new graves in front of him. Tears rolled down his face, Kane's eyes bloodshot with displeasure, and the flames of hatred flickered and climbed. Murderous intent spreads through the chest, and blood magic is ready to move.
Neros stepped forward and put his hand on his shoulder, which did not give him much comfort.
"It's time for revenge!" Kane squeezed out such a sentence.
Tririan had recently been preparing to continue his campaign against a few unconvinced little barons in the vicinity, and his army was extremely formidable, as he had proven during the massacre of Rand. The blade slashed through their throats, their fear creeping through, screams not saving their lives, and there was no way for them to resist except to kill them by the neck.
To this day, he still recalls that moment - a young girl with her hair disheveled, her face covered with the dust left by the war. She clenched a long sword in both hands and was clad in light armor. She charged at him with the last of the city's guards, but it was in vain. She was alone when she came to him, and there was only determination in her eyes at this time. She swung the sword, and the sword came out of her hand, blood splattered and beaded in strings.
In that twilight, the girl fell to the ground completely lifeless, his sword piercing her throat, and the sword in his hand was still dripping blood. Tririan smiled cruelly, and he ordered the girl's body to be thrown into the pile and buried on the spot. He did this not out of good intentions, but simply because he was afraid that the corpses would spread some disease and affect his subordinate forces.
Tririan poured his glass full of spirits, and before he could taste it, a dark shadow appeared in the corner, and then he lost his vision. He was blind, unable to see the room or hear the sounds around him. He shouted as hard as he could, and his heart was nothing but fear or fear.
A sharp claw pulled out of his spine, and the pain caused him to pass out. The barracks were littered with corpses, soaked with red blood, and neither horses nor hounds were spared. Kane's magic wriggled into a ball of blood in his hand. Kane absorbed the blood ball, and a Bloodfiend phantage emerged from behind him, then quickly vanished.
"Your blood magic has improved again, and this time your control is much better than last time, and you will soon be able to condense blood demons. This will go a long way in your next fight. Aruno said to him.
But now Kane was not a little happy, the corpses all over the ground were his masterpieces, but he did not feel the slightest guilt about it. They deserve this punishment, no warrior deserves it, and if he could, he would even want to turn them into battle puppets driven by him, demons who can only kill.
Ivan and Neroth had easily dealt with the remaining enemies, and they were taken aback when they saw the corpses all over the ground. Kane stood in the center of the red blood, like a bloodthirsty demon.
"The power of blood magic is terrifying, Kane won't have a problem using it like this, right?" Neroth asked Ivan, his tone tinged with concern that he was worried that Kane would one day be devoured by the Blood Demon and become a demon who could only kill. He had only a little knowledge of this forbidden magic, and he didn't want Kane to go astray.
"No, don't worry. Someone is more worried about his safety than we are, and he'll keep an eye on Kane for us. Ivan said in a relaxed tone.
