Another flash of lightning streaked across the sky, and Angel's dark vision gained a wider view, and he saw the buildings around him, high and low, but all decaying, as if they had gone through a thousand years.

The wooden door and window frames have been lost for a long time, leaving only the stone walls and holes.

The street between the stone houses was covered with dead moss, interspersed with puddles of black marks, the same color as the black blood stains Angel had seen in the basement, and it was not hard to imagine how many creatures had walked on this street and for some reason all died, not even the bones of the corpses.

Boom –

A continuous thunderclap rang out, the light of lightning dissipated, and the surroundings returned to complete darkness.

There are no red moons, no bright or dim stars, only endless darkness......

Angel looked around, her dark vision was able to identify things around her in this lightless area, but it was difficult to see in the distance, as if this darkness was not an ordinary lightlessness, but an "anomaly" caused by some special force.

Even the darkness of the moss has died, the lightning and thunder that slash from time to time, the anomaly of the "Hidden Emblem...... Angel's brain was racing rapidly, and she quickly thought of a word buried in her heart:

"Godforsaken Land"!

Mr. "Sun" of the Tarot Society once mentioned that the "Silver City" where he is located is located in such a vast but extremely dangerous area.

Abandoned by the Creator, there was no sun, no moon and no stars, only endless darkness, and intermittent lightning and thunder that alternated at different frequencies.

On top of that, in the Forsaken Land, once a person falls into complete darkness, he disappears after a few seconds, and his body is not even visible. Even if you light candles and carry oil lamps, there are countless terrifying monsters lurking in the darkness, devouring those who are lone at any time.

"The former bears some resemblance to the catacombs of Trier, but the other companions still remember those who disappeared in the 'Godforsaken Lands', and the monsters ......"

Angel felt a chill in her heart, she grasped the "Good Luck" revolver in one hand, and was ready to draw the "Sword of Dawn" in the other, and her eyes quickly swept the street and the surrounding stone buildings, and there was no trace of other creatures for the time being.

Fortunately, they haven't noticed me yet, or because of the "Hidden Emblem...... Angel glanced at the emblem on his wrist and saw that the black emblem was still shiny on the surface and cold to the touch, so he was relieved.

"And all this is just my speculation, for thousands of years, no one has found the 'Godforsaken Land' except for the 'Silver City', could I have come here with a strange sacrificial ritual and a few drops of my own blood?"

She grunted, cheering herself up, and then continued her steps, beginning to explore the buildings on the street.

Soon, she returned to her original position disappointed.

The street is a small village, similar in layout to the uninhabited village on the island of Sona, with low dwellings and functional buildings scattered around it, and beyond that there is endless wilderness.

All the buildings are made of rough stones, and the glue between the stones has weathered and drifted away over time, so that most of the buildings are crumbling, as if they would collapse with a push.

Inside, almost all of the wooden furniture has decayed, and some of the stone tables, chairs, and stoves have been preserved, giving a glimpse of the village's past history.

Perhaps a hundred or a thousand years ago, they also lived normally in the village, the surrounding wasteland may be fertile farmland, the basement is full of pickled food, and at the stone table, adults and children happily enjoy the harvest of their labor, and then fall asleep in the warm bed to welcome the next morning sun.

But now, in the eternal darkness, only stones that are difficult to be worn away by time remain, and ......

Angel's mind moved, and she looked to a corner of the village.

If the layout of the "two sides" is similar, will it ......

She strode faster and faster, and began to run, toward a clearing beside the village.

Soon, her pace slowed down, and eventually, she stopped by an open pit.

In front of Angel, there was a large circular pit about several meters deep, perhaps opened by passing monsters, or perhaps gradually revealing the buried things below under the breeze blowing for many years:

It was stacked on top of each other, a headless skeleton and a skull dragging its spine.

Another bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, making the dry bones in Angel's vision clearer.

Contrary to her expectations, the bones were buried in the same location as the body on Sona Island, but even without heads, they were clearly more than 2 meters tall and could not have belonged to the native inhabitants of the Rorsted Islands.

Even if they were immigrants from Fursack, they wouldn't have such an average height.

Thinking of the unusually tall Mr. Sun in the "Silver City", and the main "giant", that is, the "warrior" path of their city-state, Angel became more and more sure of his position, which was the "Godforsaken Land".

After confirming this, the first thought in her mind was naturally doubt.

"According to Mr. Sun, his city-state has a transcendent creature like the Black-veined Shadow Scorpion, so he was able to use his exploits to help me exchange for the Scorpion's Poison Needle, but I came to the Godforsaken Land from the Berserk Sea through a special ritual ritual, how could Caterina know this?" The prophecy of the mysterious queen 'Bernadette also confirms her claim, is it the two of them deceiving me together, or is there some kind of misunderstanding in it? ”

As she pondered, she remembered a time loop that the Sun had encountered while exploring the Temple of the True Creator, where he and the Chief of Silver City had spotted a young boy named Jack, who claimed to have entered the Godforsaken Land while searching for the "Lord's Sanctuary".

At the very least, this shows that Godforsaken Lands are not completely inaccessible by conventional means......

After sorting out the clues in her memory, Angel couldn't come to a useful conclusion, only knowing that Caterina's intelligence and Bernadette's prophecy might indeed point to this eternal dark region, but in her exploration from the inside out, she didn't find any trace of the "black-veined shadow giant scorpion".

As for divination...... In this strange land where only the belief of the "creator" exists, she does not dare to take out the magic mirror at random for divination.

"It seems that we can only go back to the other side of the ceremony first, and find another way......"

Looking at the bones of these "giants" who had apparently died from the same mutation as Bansey Port, Angel prayed silently in her heart, then turned and left the pit and walked towards the basement where she came.

Returning to the already familiar street, she did not immediately go into the building and go back to the basement, but first closed her eyes, folded her hands, and recited the honorific name of Mr. Fool.

In addition to being able to respond to the righteous god of divination, she also knows this method that has been verified by Mr. "Sun": contact Mr. Fool!

“…… The Yellow and Black King who rules good fortune. ”

As soon as the last sentence of honor ended, a thick gray mist appeared in front of Angel's eyes, and in the midst of it, a figure with long pale blonde hair also lowered his head and said in a soft voice:

"Mr. Fool, please convey this message to Miss 'Queen' immediately......"

Wait, isn't that my own voice?

Angel was stunned, almost interrupting her meditation and prayer state.

She immediately reacted that it was likely to be the same as the last trip to Bansey-Trier, where there was some kind of "backtracking" in time after her return to Sona Island.

At this time, there are two Angel Granger in this world, one of them is in the Godforsaken Lands, and the other has just returned to Sonna Island!

“…… You'll soon be able to make it back to Sona Island through the ceremony, but before you do that, watch out for the monsters in the dark, especially the 'Black-veined Shadow Scorpion', which is almost demigod-level, much stronger than the 'Gazer', who lives in groups but is weak individually! ”

Another "Angel" continued.

"It has a wide range of disease control, can move freely in the shadows, its only weakness is its fear of bright lights, and it can use the blood of Annie's mythical creatures to create a favorable combat environment for you."

The more Angel listened, the more puzzled she became, she was already standing next to the basement returning to Sona Island, and there was not a single monster around her, where did the "shadow giant scorpion" come from?

"So, where can I find it?"

She couldn't help but ask, but immediately reacted to the fact that what she was in front of was only the prayer passed through Mr. Fool, not the real person.

But "Angel" in the gray fog chuckled lightly and replied as if he had expected this question:

"They're right next to you right now."

The gray fog suddenly dissipated, and in Angel's dark vision, shadows darker than the sky were constantly moving on the streets and on the roofs of the surrounding buildings, quickly approaching her location.

Without the slightest hesitation, she turned the nest of the "Good Luck" revolver, sent a "phantom phosphorus eruption" into the firing position, aimed directly at her feet, and pulled the trigger.

Bang –

Far more intense than usual, the "Phantom Phosphorus Eruption", which was enhanced by the effect of "Good Luck" to a sixteenth fold, exploded a condensed ball of light, which spread rapidly, soon covering the entire street, as well as all the surrounding stone buildings, wisps of shining luminous powder enveloped the sky and ground, illuminating those lurking shadows in the shadows.

It was a monster with a strange appearance, a twisted body, and a bloody mouth that seemed to hide countless sharp teeth, and they had been wandering in eternal darkness since they appeared on this land, and at this time, they were a little dazed under the sudden bright light, and they stopped moving for a while.

In the next second, clusters of black flames containing the power of the curse kissed their gaping mouths, and then poured out from the pores of their bodies, burning them from flesh to spirit.

However, one of the targets, which was clearly more agile than the other shadows, dodged the Black Flame's attack, and it jumped from the rooftop, and instead of panicking away from the "Phantom Phosphorus Eruption", it quickly rushed towards Angel's position.

The figure sprinting through the phantom phosphorescent powder quickly showed its silhouette, it was a monster more than two meters long, large in front and small in the back, with a high tail cocked, phosphorescent powder outlining a pair of its giant claws, scales on its body, and four pairs of alternating steps.

That's the black-veined shadow giant scorpion!

Seeing this giant scorpion rushing towards her like a chariot, Angel did not panic, she took out the vial containing Annie's blood, removed the spiritual wall with one hand, and the "rose necklace" on her chest switched to the soul of the "judge", although the three abilities attached to it did not have much effect on the almost demigod shadow giant scorpion, but it could create a foundation for her subsequent use of Annie's blood.

Lifting up the glass vial, which had begun to exude endless majesty due to the failure of the seal, Angel shouted in the ancient Hermetian language:

"Here the darkness recedes, and the light increases!"

As her "Decree" was issued, the power that had been oozing from Anne's blood became more intense, and it was like two giant hands, opening outward from Angel's position, forcibly pushing away the darkness that enveloped everything, and excluding it from the irradiation range of the "Phantom Phosphorus Eruption".

This made the phantom phosphorus powder, which was already very dazzling under the amplification, like dyed with the noon sun, shining in the sky, on the ground, and on the body of the black-veined shadow giant scorpion, making Angel's eyes, which had long been accustomed to darkness, feel a little tingling.

But compared to her little discomfort, the giant scorpion that had lived in the dark for a long time was like a lobster falling into an oil pot, suddenly stopped its forward pace, rolled on the spot, and tried to sprinkle the light powder attached to it, wisps of green smoke came out of its body, accompanied by a sizzling burning sound, and the real body in the shadows also appeared in front of Angel's eyes.

Unlike the venomous scorpions commonly found on the Star Plateau of West Bailang, the carapace of this infinitely magnified body was dark and shiny, like steel armor, but the joints of the limbs had white patterns, like bristles extending from the body.

Its pincers danced, half threatening, half fearful as it reached out to Angel, its tiny mouthparts opening and closing, and the four pairs of feet fearful.

But Angel knew it was just a trap for the otherworldly creature.

Instead of trying to deal with the other party in close quarters, she broke the hammer and fired a "Phantom Phosphorus Eruption" again, this time without triggering a sixteen-fold damage effect, and the halved power made the Phantom Phosphorescent Powder like a dim flame, covering only half of the giant scorpion's body, but under the law of "Light Enhancement", the newly added fire still made the giant scorpion roll on the ground in pain.

But that's not enough...... Angel squinted his eyes and looked at the giant scorpion through the blinding light, and found that the burning of the bright light was limited to the surface, even if it had emitted green smoke, even if it was temporarily unable to stand up, the internal organs were still not damaged enough.

"Light" doesn't last long!

A pinch of black flame passed over the phantom phosphorescent powder that kept falling to the ground, adhered to the giant scorpion's carapace, and joined the attack on it, while Angel calmed down, drove the "disease" ability, and began to launch a deeper attack on the giant scorpion.

Her first choice is the poison that can kill black monsters in just a few seconds in the relics of the gods!
