In an instant, the surging power of shadows roared out, pushing the olive straight back.

The power of the spilled shadow spread instantly, and an invisible wind blew out all the candles in the chapel.

The shadow spreads outwards rapidly around the Cathedral of the Candles.

There was no wind, just a spreading darkness that engulfed all light sources. Both sides, who were still at war, were forced to stop because they were all blinded.

…… What's going on?

Such a powerful shadow power......

The advisor suddenly felt uneasy.

Lancelot I...... It should be a knight on the path of authoritarianism, right?

Why does the ritual of resurrecting him sound like a product of the realm of revenge......

[Revenge] is the power of the realm of love, the power of the Shadow Tensi, just like the shadows.

Shadow of Avalon...... If this is the power that belongs to the Shadow Division.

Does it mean that when Lancelot I is resurrected...... He's not the same Lancelot anymore?

And when the terminal ritual on this side was activated, another magic circle far away in Eagle Cape Village was also lit up.

The ceremonial array over there was far more complex than the chapel side - forty or fifty overlapping formations, symbols, and otherworldly materials formed an incomparably sophisticated, yet complex system that was difficult to maintain. When they began to move, another ritual circle hidden within them was activated.

At this moment, the dream world, the land of shadows.

Lancelot held his spear in his hand, and after moving rapidly, he swung his weapon three times in succession, knocking out the long sword in the hand of the strong man in front of him. Then the gun shot out like a dragon, piercing his throat and heart in an instant!

As he withdrew his weapon, the brawny man he had killed was resurrected.

"Oops, I made a mistake......"

The strong man with his upper body naked was a little unwilling, but he still smiled cheerfully: "But your hands are not bad—who did you learn from?" ”

He threw Lancelot a jug of wine: "Forget it, don't care about that. Taste this, my descendants recently gave me an offering! ”

"Okay."

Lancelot smiled, put away his spear and took the flask: "That's good, it's a pity that my descendants don't know how to send something here......"

"What's for you?"

The man said angrily: "You are the living, we are the dead." Don't say these unlucky words. ”

"I, a living person, am not much different from a dead person in a sense......"

Lancelot said self-deprecatingly, sitting next to the man with a flask.

It's always gloomy here, neither day nor night. There was no sun or moon in the sky, and the black-gray sky was always rolling with dark clouds and thunder and lightning, but it never rained...... It's depressing.

However, the lively atmosphere here on the ground is the opposite of the gloomy sky.

Not far away, hunters hunt giant demon pigs that come back to life after death, but whose flesh can be taken and roasted and eaten. Not far away was the banquet, and next to the banquet were two warriors who were fighting bloodily.

People ate meat and drank wine while watching and applauding. When they finish this meal, they will usher in the next wave of fleeing and fighting each other.

They were all dead men, aggressive, lustful, jealous, better than fighting. They are the most valiant, strong and handsome warriors chosen by the Shadow Division.

There is no work to be done here, and there is no need for the dead to eat. The dense black bushes are home to a large black strawberry that can be used to make wine; And all kinds of monsters in the country of shadows will also be reborn after death. The witches and fairies are in charge of the brewing and cooking, and the rest of the people have to drink wine, eat meat, and fight each other every day.

And each time the last survivor is able to spend the night with the queen of the Shadow Country, in this sense, these brave and strong warriors can even be considered the harem of the Shadow Tensi, as are the witches and fairies.

Shadow Celestial Division holds the realm of betrayal and revenge, so those witches and fairies will occasionally seduce these passionate warriors - and when discovered, they will naturally be punished by Shadow Celestial...... But that's not part of the game.

However, compared to the absurd, cruel and depraved blood realm, the gameplay here is already very conservative.

At this moment, Lancelot was suddenly stunned. His spirit crackled and trembled, blurring for a moment.

He heard...... Someone is calling out to themselves.

“…… Yes. ”

He sighed, sighing in dismay, "Finally...... Is it finally coming to an end? ”

"Oh? Going? ”

The strong man next to him laughed and urged: "Hurry up, drink more!" Drink some more!

"When you come back to life, you won't be able to drink this wine of the underworld!"

"Maybe I'll come back. But when I come back...... It could be the white knight in silver armor. ”

Lancelot smiled and drank his wine.

In the midst of the strong man's complaint, "Leave me some", he returned the bottle to the strong man and threw his spear to him.

His body twisted and vanished, as if he had been sucked out.

At this time, the whistling shadow became more intense and spread again.

Plants withered, flames extinguished, metal rusted.

Olive clutched his chest in discomfort and stepped back—his body was too old to withstand this level of shadow. The grapes tried to defend themselves with the rock walls, but they couldn't stop the wind of shadows that didn't wear anything.

If you look at Avalon from above, you can see that the visible shadow ripples are centered on the glass island, whistling outward.

The river became dirty, the fruit on the trees grew black markings, and the food stored was contaminated.

The shadow is still spreading firmly and slowly.

Except for the moonlight in the sky, all light sources were completely swallowed and blocked. The whole world seems to have returned to primitive times, and people hide in fear at night, afraid to go out.

The war was forced to pause. Because no one can see where the enemy is and where the teammates are. Even the vision of the transcendent is blocked by this curtain of shadows, and the flames that are lit will shake and extinguish in an instant, as if in a gale.

In the coffin, Lancelot I suddenly reached out and grabbed the dagger in his chest.

Then, he pulled out the dagger in an instant!

In an instant, the old age was inflated, and it became young at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it was back to its thirties.

However, instead of completely becoming what Lancelot was in history, he became brunette with black hair and black eyes. The power of the shadows condensed into war streaks on his face, and his pupils turned purple as ripe grapes.

The extremely strong oppressive force made Ivus frightened for a moment.

His aura was even more powerful than the Night Demon - that strong presence alone made the surroundings seem so discordant. It's as if the style of painting is different from the surroundings...... It's as weird as a 3D character suddenly appearing in a 2D environment.

The power of the shadows that flew out of the glass island has now spread beyond the glass island. And at this moment, they are flowing back like a lapse back in time at several times the speed, and they continue to sink into his body. It's just that what was contaminated before, is still contaminated today.

The light returned in an instant.

The candles flickered and flickered, and the chapel became bright again. Even the three candles on the crown of Ivus were lit together.

Lancelot I opened his eyes and sat up very slowly from the coffin. The bones of his whole body crackled, and the breath of the whole person gradually turned from a stone statue and a corpse to a living person...... Gradually, there is the breath of life.

"Kids, I'm back."

He opened his eyes and said in a friendly, serious and serious manner, "Is there anything you need me to do?" ”

A miracle of resurrection from the dead.

Not only that—it's even a miracle of rejuvenation.

Seeing this, Ivas paused slightly, as if he had thought of something. But the inspiration flashed away, and he couldn't catch it directly.

…… Strange, it actually worked?!

How did it work?

Ivus was a little confused for a moment.

He had just prepared to backstab the advisor and kill him.

Shouldn't it be just to summon Shadow Tensi down? Or did grandfather not do anything to the Shadow of Avalon in this world line?

If the Shadow of Avalon Ritual is the Ouroboros, then it should be the Shadow Celestial Division who has been summoned. And if it was Lancelot I who was resurrected, how could his mission include "ensuring the survival of the common people"?

Could it be that the host scared himself and tested his courage?

“…… Well? ”

At this moment, Lancelot I was suddenly stunned.

He looked at Ivus, frowning slightly.

"Where have I seen you?"

“…… How could you have met me. ”

Ivas was a little helpless, but could only reply to His Majesty's inquiry: "I'm Ivas Moriarty. Mordred's descendants...... But we're all adopted sons, so I don't think I'm related to that Mordred knight. ”

"Certainly not Mordred......"

Lancelot I muttered in a low voice, "I've been in the Shadow Nation for too long, and my memories of life are a little blurry. Let me think about ......"

Soon, his eyes suddenly widened.

It wasn't that he thought of anything, but he covered his heart that had just been pierced and showed an uncomfortable expression.

He suddenly reached out and tore his clothes apart. I saw a thin snake emerge from the chest that had just been pierced—it was around the wound, biting its own tail, forming a ring.

Purple light shone on Lancelot's body, and the extremely strong transcendent power suddenly spread outward.

- Is it the Ouroboros now?!

Seeing this scene, Washton suddenly realized.

All doubts are solved!

It turns out that the resurrected Lancelot I is actually just a sacrifice to complete the Ouroboros ceremony!

To complete the Ouroboros Ceremony, you need a world-class transcendent as a sacrifice...... Although Ivas still didn't understand how the people who summoned the Fallen Celestial Division did it......

However, Lancelot I, who had just been resurrected and returned from the dream world, undoubtedly met this condition!

Thinking of this, Ivas suddenly had an impulse and an idea.

Lancelot I, himself a transcendent of the sixth level of authority!

The Celestial Division and the Apostles of the Path of Love are unreliable and cannot be controlled. The authoritarian path of Tenji is better.

Or you can also pull down the apostle of the silver-crowned dragon...... They were all Lancelot's former comrades-in-arms, and they might be a little more controlled.

So Eivas reached out and pressed it against Lancelot's chest.

- Ouroboros Ring, I will too!

He can directly modify the goal of the Ouroboros Ring - not to let the Celestial Division of the path of love come, but only the apostles of the authoritarian path.

If they are the apostles of the Celestial Division, then they can still fight, which is better than fighting the Shadow Celestial Division; If it's an apostle of the Silver Crowned Dragon, then you don't even have to fight!

The pre-ceremony preparations had already been fully prepared by his grandfather, so Evas was able to start the rituals that were running in an instant.

But strangely, Ivus suddenly found that something in his body was activated by this ritual.

Is that......

“…… Shepherding?! ”

Lancelot suddenly thought: "I remember, you are a pastor!" ”

…… What?

Ivus was stunned for a moment.

But he didn't have time to ask, he didn't have time to explain. As the art of shepherding runs on its own, the Ouroboros ritual is subtly distorted.

In an instant, the purple glow turned into a scarlet ring.

It was like a magic circle, opening around the two of them, enveloping them both and completely shielding them from the outside world.

If Ivus had a chance to see what this circle looked like, he would find that it was exactly the same as the circle he used to seal the Beast of Sin, and the circle on the Book of Laws!

"Wait!"

The advisor just wanted to ask what was going on.

But he suddenly had a palpitation—

I saw that the flame butterfly that had stopped on Ivus's shoulder before had become "Leah" again at some point.

She was looking at the advisor coldly, but she looked eager to try.

“…… Why are you looking at me like that? ”

- Did I just do something wrong, or say something wrong?

The advisor was probably aware of something, but still didn't give up: "I have something important to say to Bishop Moriarty...... Very important ......"

He didn't want to believe that Ivas was the one who was promoted until he died.

"Guess?"

The corners of Leah's mouth rose slightly.

She looked at the advisor and raised her hand.
