Deep in the twilight forest.

Inside the dark castle.

One of the owls cried twice.

Immediately afterwards in a coffin under the castle.

A pale hand propped up the lid.

Slowly crawled out of it.

"Your Royal Highness, it's time for you to wake up."

A gloomy voice came from the darkness.

Accompanied by the sound of sound.

Soon, a woman in a black robe crawled out of the coffin.

"Click".

The oil lamps in the vaults of this castle are lit.

"Mira!"

"It's not time to eat yet."

"Why wake me up!"

The queen who crawled out said in a dissatisfied tone towards the dark place.

And a figure slowly appeared over there.

Vampire with long fangs.

"Queen, it wasn't me who woke you up."

"It's an enemy invading the Twilight Forest!"

"Information from the royal capital."

"The Wind King has gathered 10,000 legions of transcendent nobles and marched towards the Twilight Forest."

"They want your harp, Queen!"

It's not all said yet.

The queen's figure jerked around.

"Harp!"

"Where did they know about the harp!"

The vampire named Mira shook his head.

"I don't know."

"But one thing is for sure, at the marching speed of the Legion of the Transcendental."

"Soon to reach the Twilight Forest."

"I've awakened all the Shadow Legions."

"But this time it's a legion of 10,000 transcendent nobles."

"We need your support."

The queen nodded slightly.

At the same time, subconsciously stroke your right hand.

"If you enter the twilight forest, they have nothing to fear."

"The Shadow Legion can be resurrected infinitely in the Twilight Forest, and they can't kill any of the Shadow Legion soldiers."

"Into the Twilight Forest."

"These extraordinary nobles can provide some supplementary blood food."

"I've been asleep for too long, lacking the replenishment of the Transcendent Bloodline."

"The power of those seals began to drain my power again."

"I need more divine bloodlines to resist the power of the seal."

"Mira, how many transcendents are still imprisoned?"

The vampire Mira replied without thinking.

"Less than three hundred."

"The creatures of the Twilight Forest with divine blood are extinct."

"The three hundred is the last point."

The queen cracked her mouth, revealing her sharp teeth.

"Then eat them all."

"Just vacate the cell, and wait for the capture of this 10,000 Extraordinary Legion and hold it in."

"That way, I'll be able to resist the harp's power."

"Hold on until the moment when all the bodies are unblocked."

"Take me to the place where I'm being held."

Mira bowed slightly.

"Yes!"

Meanwhile.

Outside the twilight forest.

The legions of the transcendents of the Blue Wind Empire have appeared.

This time the commander is the Duke of the Cangfeng Empire.

It's just that he's just a nominal commander.

The Duke has long been controlled by the Blood Raven.

This time, the blood crow even attached his clone to the duke.

And another deputy commander-in-chief.

It is an undead clone covered in a black robe.

When the army appeared in the Twilight Forest.

The Blood Raven squinted slightly.

Above the sky, countless blood crows fluttered.

Skimming over the area.

He said a moment later.

"It is certain that Fang Yuan's legion has not yet arrived."

"Our speed is still okay."

The undead on the side did not answer.

Instead, he looked at the twilight forest.

After a long time, he suddenly said.

"I can sense that there is a force within that that is more evil than the undead."

"We're going to enter the Twilight Forest, I'm afraid it's not that easy!"

The Blood Raven didn't care.

"The 10,000 Extraordinary Legions, all well-trained."

"After death, the bones are transformed into undead, and the soul is devoured by the blood crow, and a new blood raven is born."

"We can make twice as many legions to fight."

"What's so scary about this!"

Regardless of the undead archmage's opinion.

Give orders directly.

"Send three hundred strikers to explore the way."

Soon, three hundred transcendents stepped into the twilight forest.

The moment they walked in.

In the forest, countless black mist rose.

Immediately there was no trace.

And a moment later.

A wail was heard in the twilight forest.

Then a war horse escaped from the forest.

There were also cavalrymen who were only half of their bodies left.

This scene immediately caused panic among the Legion of the Transcendental.

Then a voice came from the twilight forest.

"You're not welcome here."

"Get out of here!"

After the Blood Raven heard it.

There was a look of anger on his face.

"Look for death!"

With a thought, he directly took out a blood-colored scroll prop.

"It's not just an enchantment."

"What's the big deal."

"Broken!"

The scroll is thrown out.

A bloody light shot out.

The thick black fog of the twilight forest was directly opened a path.

At the end of the road, you can see an ancient castle.

The blood crow saw this.

"Herald."

"All legions, enter the forest at once."

Suddenly, the morale of the Transcendent Legion soared and began to march towards the Twilight Forest.

But when all the legions went in.

The undead and the blood ravens were soon discovered.

The open road was soon shrouded in black fog.

Meanwhile.

A terrible cry rang out one after another.

The black mist condensed into a black shadow and attacked them.

The Dark Shadow can take away a transcendent one at a time.

But their attack could only disperse the black shadows, and soon, these black shadows regrouped and continued to attack them.

Faced with this strange scene.

The undead and the blood ravens are in trouble.

And at the same time as they were wrapped in dark shadows.

At this time.

Outside the twilight forest.

Christian appeared at the entrance with the legion.

"Judging by the footprints."

"At least tens of thousands of people have been stationed here."

As soon as he arrived, Cardoso, who accompanied him, saw the traces of the previous stationing of the transcendents.

Christian nodded.

"When I came, I heard that the royal capital had sent tens of thousands of people to the forest."

"It should be them."

"I don't know what their purpose is."

"We all have to step up and get into it."

"Herald, the Plantagenet Knight is the striker, the Demon Breaker Fighter is the middle army, and the sword is the queen of the Griffin Palace."

"Follow me into the Twilight Forest!"

And after the legion led by Christian entered the twilight forest.

Soon he also encountered the strange Black Shadow Army.

It's just that they still have Bol and Cardoso in their team.

They can see through illusions.

Shouted directly.

"Circle."

"Some of these shadows are fake."

"Listen to me, we can see through it."

But soon Christian found out.

It is not very efficient to follow them.

On the contrary, the counterattack of the Demon Breaker is very efficient.

Kill the Black Shadow with ease every time.

And the Black Shadow killed by the Demon Breaker will not be resurrected.

This immediately led Christian to find a way to crack it.

"The Demon Breaker is at the vanguard, and all the other legions are close behind."

With the transformation complete.

With the power of the Demon Breaker Fighter to open the way.

These resurrected shadows were quickly defeated and retreated.

The resurrection is becoming less and less frequent.

Meantime!

Harold, who accompanied him, used a holy light spell and was able to dispel the black fog.

The group soon found the right path in the twilight forest.

An ancient castle surrounded by black gas was discovered.

The structure inside the castle is relatively simple.

Above are the cells, which are used to hold all kinds of otherworldly creatures.

There is a secret room underneath.

Now.

The above-ground cells of the castle.

Most of the neatly arranged stone chambers are empty.

Only a small number of them, and there are still dejected detainees.

Among them are giants, ogres, fishmen, elves, orcs, humans.

There are even a few harpies.

The moment they saw the queen appear.

There was a look of horror in their eyes.

"Queen, you have to be quick."

"The news has just come that the scouts of the Legion of the Transcendents have appeared outside the Twilight Forest."

Words to their own subordinates.

The queen waved her hand.

"Got it."

Then he walked to the front of the cell.

He stretched out his right hand.

Suddenly, countless sprouts of flesh grew wildly, enveloping a weak giant.

In a blink of an eye.

The queen's originally pale face actually had a trace of blood.

"I've been asleep for too long, and I feel so well fed."

"This giant actually has the blood of the Ancient Flame Titan, and this is the family of the superior god."

"I don't know how much better the taste is than the bloodline of those lower gods."

As he spoke, the spreading granula retracted.

The queen waved her jade-like fingers gracefully.

Walked to the next cell.

And inside the cell where the giant was originally held.

At this point, only a pile of black ash remained.

In this day and age, bloodlines are to the transcendent what make up the basic cells of the human body.

The cellular structures of the human body are engulfed.

It's not going to be an inexplicable lump of meat, not even a lump of meat.

Similarly, the fate of giants losing their bloodlines is the same.

As the queen walked through the cells.

Originally dry skin, fragile bones.

All were filled with energy in an instant.

Now in the future, she looks like a stunning beautiful young woman.

Just before she walked to the last cell.

When the barbarians imprisoned inside are ready to be devoured.

Suddenly.

The vampire squire Mira walked over.

She looked hurried.

"Queen!"

"I think we're in big trouble."

"In addition to the extraordinary nobles who attacked us this time, there is also an extremely powerful legion."

"The Shadow Legion is no match."

"Them!"

"We're approaching the castle."

The queen, who heard the news, immediately withdrew the outstretched flesh.

Turning around, he asked.

"A mighty legion?"

"Surround the castle."

"No way, the entire twilight forest is shrouded in illusion."

"Except for the Legion of Shadows that I made with my own hands."

"No creature can enter the forest!"

"Even if they do, they're definitely no match for the Shadow Legion."

"They can rely on the power of illusion to quickly resurrect in the forest."

"There is absolutely no way to be killed."

"Unless~"

"Unless it's the hunters of the Ancient Gods Hunting Society."

That's when it happened.

There was a tremor at the castle.

Immediately after that, a loud "boom" sounded.

"This~"

Mira's face was horrified, as if she had thought of something.

She said quickly.

"It's the walls of the castle."

"They must be attacking the walls."

"Queen, we must leave as soon as possible!"

"The Twilight Forest can't stop their attack!"

When the queen heard this, her originally white and red face suddenly distorted.

"It's them."

"I already smell the hunters of the Old God Hunting Society."

"Let's go."

"These hunters who haven't appeared for hundreds of years, this time they must do their best."

I don't care about anything else.

A circle of light is drawn on the right hand.

Take Mira with you and teleport away.

Meanwhile.

The outside of the Kasbah.

"Your Excellency, we have just attacked the castle."

"There's a strong shield here."

"It doesn't seem to have anything to do with the power of the spell."

"We can't break it."

The leader of the Demon Breaker said to Christian with a slight apology.

"You've proven your strength."

"I didn't expect the power of the Demon Breaker Fighter to be so strong."

"Those legions of dark shadows that can be resurrected infinitely in the twilight forest."

"I was suppressed by you."

"Without you, we wouldn't have been able to find the castle so quickly."

"Leave it to me."

Christian said, glancing at Harold behind him.

The other party understands.

Instantly turned into an angelic armor.

Dressed in his armor, Christian summons a spirit of light and transforms it into a longbow.

Bend the bow and arrow.

Christian gathers strength.

An arm-thick arrow of light is formed.

She did the math to herself.

"Almost, if you increase it, I'm afraid it will destroy the castle."

Then let go.

The arrows of light shot at the castle at great speed.

The shield, which had been shrouded in darkness, was punctured like a bubble.

Even more surprising.

With the castle's shield broken.

In the twilight forest shrouded in darkness, the thick black tide faded.

"This situation!"

Christian thought of a possibility.

This castle is the source of all power in the twilight forest.

With the source of power being broken.

The darkness that shrouded the twilight forest began to dissipate.

And as the darkness dissipated.

The ancient castle that everyone saw in front of their eyes suddenly turned into a fortress with countless bones piled up.

"This~"

Everyone who saw this scene gasped together.

"No wonder there's such a strong dark power."

"It turns out that the core area is actually a fortress of bones."

"There are so many bones, how many people have been killed."

Shocked.

Bol, who followed, was the first to storm the castle.

Knights who observe the Seven Virtues are enemies of all the dark forces.

It's just a pity that Pol, who rushed in, found nothing.

Not a single enemy was found in the castle.

And at this time, the Demon Breaker Fighter who went in behind him found out.

They lifted a harp from the castle and a demented-looking barbarian.

"Your Excellency."

"The people in the castle must have fled."

"We found this barbarian in his cell."

"Found the harp in the underground vault."

"Maybe that's what the lord needs."

Christian nodded.

"Now the task is to find the harp, what to do next, we have to wait for the lord's order."

"As for the barbarians!"

"Take it back with you."

"Yes."

At the time of departure.

Christian looked at the mountain of bones.

She let out a low sigh.

"Holy prayer, purify the holy fire!"

Suddenly, a flame of holy light ignited from the ground.

Burned the castle of bones to ashes.

"Let's go."

Then he led the people towards the outside of the twilight forest.

And just as they walked out of the forest.

Suddenly.

The leader of the griffon knight squad, who was exploring the path ahead, stopped.

Then he turned to Christian and said.

"Your Excellency."

"We are surrounded!"
