Volume 1 Aquaman's Sigh Chapter 95 The Dark Shadow of the Mystery
The moonlight poured down from the gap in the dark clouds, and the entire Eldas Mountains looked even more cold and rugged under the cold moonlight, and the sight in front of them was a heavy white expanse, and the rolling coniferous forests were wrapped in heavy snow until the end of the sight, and both the towering ancient trees and the solid rocks were covered with a thick layer of white, connecting the dim and muddy horizon.
Violent winds and snowstorms swept between the heavens and the earth, and the howling wind lifted the fluffy snow that covered the earth, blowing the vision into a blank field. It had entered the northernmost part of the Eldas Mountains, and even though the forests were still green like early spring hundreds of miles later, it was now a depressed snowy patch.
The huge cold froze the air, and the wind that blew through seemed to be mixed with sharp ice crystals, with a sharp stinging sensation when it brushed on the face, and there was no other sound in the ears except for the roar of the wind that seemed to be like a ghost, and the monsters migrated to the warmer southern forests in the days when the blizzard first arrived, and even the occasional monsters who stayed behind hid in warmer caves or deep underground.
In the vast snowy world, the sound of hurried footsteps from the end of the chaotic wind and snow was particularly clear.
The footsteps kept moving at a flying speed, and a figure of almost the same color as the heavens and the earth quickly shuttled through the tall and towering coniferous forest, and in the wind and snow, they looked like white ghosts floating in the forest, appearing and disappearing, mysterious and unpredictable.
Eisen's face was unusually solemn, his pure black daze was now covered with white snowflakes, and his hood kept flying in the rapid flying, occasionally revealing his long eyelashes dotted with a few white snowflakes, and the deep and sharp eyes under the eyelashes were always staring at the end of the taiga, the white and black horizon.
"How is this possible?What is the reason for the [Slayer's] rebellion? They are the direct army of the Oslan Emperor, what does it mean if they defect?" Arya's sparkling eyes were full of deep doubts, "Could it be that the Emperor wants to get rid of the commander of the [Angel] Legion, or is it that the [Slayer] even the Emperor has turned his back?"
"Transsonic Butterfly didn't say that in such detail, but only told me the general situation. Eisen turned his face to look at Arya who was full of doubts, and said in a deep voice, "The [Slayer] arrived in the city of Neptune on the orders of the Emperor of Osland, ostensibly to cooperate with the [Angel] Legion to protect the north gate of Osland, but their subsequent actions were contrary to their purpose, they secretly contacted the army of the United Empire of Bhakda in secret, and from the information held by the [Angel] Legion, the enemy warship named [Constantine] has already arrived in the city, if the [Slayer] If you really collude with the enemy army, then Neptune is really in danger now. ”
"All [Slayer] mutiny?" Arya gasped, "How is that possible...... What's in it for them to do that?"
"Maybe we're tired of endless slaughter and eternal darkness......," Angela said, "I've heard some legends about the Slayer, and although they are comparable to the Legion of Glory, they are the Grim Reaper who can only live in eternal darkness and slaughter, unlike the glamorous and admired Legion of Glory, they are hindered by the Slayer The army has a strange and even cruel advanced system, and if they can't disclose their identity, they naturally don't get the respect and worship they deserve, and more importantly, they have to face the killing of their comrades all the time. ”
"Killing from comrades-in-arms? what does that mean?" Wren asked, puzzled.
"Becoming a [Slayer] is not a glamorous thing, every [Slayer] carries tens of thousands of souls behind it, first of all, he needs to kill all his companions in this class before he is eligible to be a member of the [Slayer], and secondly, even if he successfully enters the [Slayer] legion, the killing will not stop. There are a total of 99 [Slayers], and they are assigned to each [Slayer] according to the number from 1 to 99, the smaller the number, the stronger his strength in the [Slayer], the higher his status, and the way to advance is very simple....." Jenora suddenly fell silent, he already knew from Wren's shocked and trembling pupils that Wren had guessed some facts, "Kill the [Slayer] who is lower than his number , he will be able to take his place, and no matter what method is used, he will not be sanctioned by the legion, because they are assassins in the first place, and as long as they kill the enemy at all costs, they are the victors. So they are usually compared to the devil and the grim reaper who have returned from hell. ”
"Why, how can there be such a legion......" Wren suddenly lost his mind, his almost hoarse voice broke in the air, his face was dazed and painful, the world he was familiar with before suddenly became more strange, full of desire, full of strife, full of hatred, full of killing, just like the silver wolf in the tomb said, this is a sad world......
"The advanced system of [Slayer] is to maintain its position as the strongest assassin legion, and all members are in danger all the time, unable to relax and unable to relax, and once they are relaxed, they will be killed. Arya sighed and explained.
"Actually, I don't think it's strange that the [Slayer] will rebel, but what I'm worried about may be far from that simple......" Eisen lowered his head and whispered to himself, "The meteorite fell, the Buckda Empire marched, the [Slayer] mutinied, and then all of this we just experienced, there seems to be an invisible thread in the dark that connects these things together, is it all a coincidence? Or is there a common conspiracy behind these events?"
"For the birth of a new 'god', to bring eternal peace to the world?" Wren suddenly thought of the words of the silver wolf in the ancient tomb, and his expression was complicated.
"Well, maybe, in any case, this continent is about to set off an earth-shattering bloody storm!" said Eisen, with a solemn expression, "Let's speed up, the uneasiness seems to be getting stronger." ”
In the empty white forest, countless huge towering taigas seemed to stand around them one by one, these giants lowered their heads and watched with pity at these small and humble figures speeding between them, and the arrogant wind came from the high canopy, like the whispers of giants, and also like the whispers of these outsiders.
The sense of oppression that seemed to be absent always lingered in Eisen's heart, and he looked back at the back drowning in chaos from time to time, and from time to time he raised his head to look at the vast depression ahead, but the sense of crisis and urgency always followed, like a huge water tank, weighing heavily on his back, making his breathing disordered and difficult.
"Captain!" Angela suddenly stopped Eisen, who was rushing ahead, and there was an inexplicable fear flashing in her eyes, "There is someone in front of us, and I feel an unusually large fluctuation of soul power, from no one's soul power as large as his, to trembling ......"
"Who is it?" Eisen slowed his pace, a wary look in his eyes.
"Could it be that the [Slayer] or the Imperial Army of Bhakda learned of us coming to support us in advance, so they pre-arranged their forces near the mountains of Eldath?" Arya looked at Eisen with a solemn expression.
"No, all soul power fluctuations come from the same person. Angela shook her head tiredly and dismissed Arya's guess, "It's just a single person, but it makes me feel a sense of oppression that is even more terrifying than the overwhelming situation of thousands of troops, and his strength ...... surpassed all of us. ”
"How can there be such a guy......" Arya's voice also began to tremble, and she finally escaped from the strange ancient tomb, but immediately encountered such a terrible person, although it was not clear whether it was friend or foe, but this series of sudden situations couldn't help but make her feel more and more tired, "Why is it here?
"Captain, I think we'd better bypass him......." Angela was also a little frightened, the strength of the person who came was too strong, even she didn't dare to imagine.
"It's useless, he has already discovered us, he stopped there quietly just to wait for us!" Eisen's face sank, and his heart sank, a huge and strong soul power was surging from the chaotic wind and snow in front of him, and that kind of low and turbulent power was like the ebb tide before the tsunami erupted, oppressive and terrifying.
In the distance, between the sky and the earth where the blizzard flies, a black figure is particularly eye-catching, it is quietly dotted in the pale forest, like a mole on the body of a sleeping white giant, and it is only when you get closer to see clearly, the black shadow is actually a figure in a black robe, his whole body is wrapped in a black robe, and the hood on his head hides his face, and the howling wind blows his robe to the ground and hunts, but the tumbling snow does not fall on his robe at all, so in this pale heaven and earth, this black is unusually eye-catching and weird。
Equally striking was the large golden cross embroidered on the back of his robe, and even in the chaotic night, the gilded edge still shimmered faintly, like a star in the dark sky.
Black-robed emissary of the Holy Cult of Cessria!
"Looks like an enemy!" Eisen suddenly stopped first, his long falcon-like eyes staring closely at the figure in front of him, and said cautiously to everyone in a low voice, "Very strong enemy, we need a plan......
