At this time-

"Boom!"

Another landslide-like tremor faintly came from another direction!

Tails was suddenly agitated, and heard several strange voices:

[Sada, Loxada!]

[Cell, Cell, Cell, Cell!

The next moment, in the rock wall at the top, several dead souls suddenly appeared, which were also decaying and terrifying, and were also shrouded in black mist, but they were very different in size and appearance!

These revenants were also surrounded by black mist, but most of them were massive, muscular, and dressed in a style that didn't look like the Empire or the Northland.

Their eyes were also pale, but their noses were taller, their teeth sharper, and their rotten, dry skin darker.

But something surprising happened.

Those dead souls...... The strange new ghosts, who were already here—Kane Kamul, and their companions—howled in a language that Tails didn't understand:

[Cleary...... Purcell...... Cell......】

This situation appeared in every corner of the cavern, and almost every new soul who had arrived on the "battlefield" from top to bottom, often a special form, let out the same terrifying roar at the ghosts on the side of Kane Kamur.

The black mist continued to spread out of the air, and the number of new souls in the area gradually increased.

Tails stared at the scene in amazement.

"That's enough," the Silver Shadow Man let go of Tails' shoulder and said lightly:

"Stop. ”

The silver light on his body turned into something like a barrier, covering the two of them.

"It's coming. ”

Finally, a thunderous roar rang out from almost every corner, resonating with the surrounding rock formations.

【Cruri ......】

【Skarna, Nadalelis ......】

The roar continued, and a large, rotting arm the size of a human thigh slowly emerged from the top of the rock wall, clinging to the rock formation.

As the low roar intensified, the owner of the arm slowly pulled its entire body out of the rock wall, and its massive body even occupied most of the entire rock wall, until it lifted its equally huge head and opened its black mouth under its miserable white eyes.

Tails' eyes widened.

An anomaly unlike any of the pathetic deaths he'd seen so far, appeared before Tails' eyes.

It's a revenant, too—Tails told himself nervously.

It was a gigantic revenant that was almost the size of three people.

It floated in the black mist of the curse, and its face was grotesque, not at all in proportion—its pale eyes were small, its nostrils turned out, and a terrible scar stretched across half of its face, and even cut half of its lips, making it appear that its teeth bulged out, making it even more terrifying when it roared.

And it was adorned with several circles of animal teeth around its body, and with the support of its decaying and withered limbs, it roared wildly at the cave:

【Nadalelis!】

Its roar seemed to shake all the souls of the cavern in this place!

The souls of the two who had been besieging Tails in the cave turned around, as if they had given up on Tails and the Silver Shadow Man.

They unleashed their black mist-covered minions at the ever-increasing number of new undead souls, and responded with the same terrible howl: "Ahhh

Although the new alien revenants were outnumbered, they responded to each other's provocations with more excitement and rage under the leadership of the giant leader, and several revenants with special physiques even beat their chests with their already gray and decaying upper arms, and their howls overshadowed each other for a while:

[Cell, Cell, Nadalelis-]

The most special of the revenants, General Kankamur Linka, turned his head with a hideous face, and looked at the new giant revenant without showing weakness, and his pale eyes oozed strong emotions.

[Hybrid ......] Its ancient emperor Chinese has an inexplicable hatred hidden in it: [Hybrid-]

In the next second, on the other side of it, the three-person-sized, terrifying-looking giant revenant also had a distorted expression and let out a deafening roar: [Cell-]

As soon as the words fell, it actually shook its strong limbs and flew towards Kane Kamul from above!

The black mist trembled all over Kane Kamul's body, and it did not retreat from its new opponent!

[Come on—Ice Bastard!]

More than two leaders—more and more new souls swooped down from the rock face above, invading the cramped place, and swooping down on the old souls of Kainkamur in mid-air.

A new fight begins.

Tails watched as a huge new revenant came down from above, screaming and pounced on an old man's revenant, biting its neck with madness!

The old man's soul hissed in pain about words of unknown meaning: [Ahhh

A black mist suddenly spread from its wounds.

But the victim then got into a fight with the other and stabbed it in the chest with his bare hands!

It uses all means, including teeth and siblings, to reduce the existence of the other party.

The new revenants did not spare their hands as if they were tainted with madness, and the revenants on the side of Kane Kamur did not hesitate to pounce upwards and fight back!

The whole cave was in chaos!

This is......

Tails watched the scene of the revenants killing each other with a pale face, and suddenly realized that the "Cell" of the new revenants was very familiar.

A second later, he recalled the content.

In the military history class of the nobles of the Northlands, there is a subject that must be learned - orc language, especially military orders.

And "Cell", that is, that's—Tails looked incredulously at the new undead, albeit unrecognizable, but physically terrifying—that was one of the Glacier Orcs' military assault orders, meaning:

Kill, slaughter, kill.

Or the more direct and brutal "leave no mouth alive".

So......

The sin of the Hellriver slowly faded into Tails' body, and he continued to stare intently at the frenzied battle between the two groups of revenants in the cavern.

"You're not...... You're not going to use me as bait to lure them away and run away on your own?" Tails, who felt like he had escaped, asked the man next to him in surprise.

The Silver Shadow Man tilted his head to the side, as if disdainful of reply.

And the playful silver mangs mischievously burst out from the top of the silver shadow man's head, jumping up and down to form a few words:

[Pranks, Bad Tastes]

Tailston's face darkened.

The presence of the new souls made the cavern even darker, but for a while, no souls paid any attention to this small corner.

"Okay, but ...... What is that?" Tails quickly forgot his displeasure, and pointed to the new large revenant who had fought with His Excellency the General.

"It's also a cursed revenant," the Silver Shadow replied cheerfully.

"It's just another one. ”

"Tough in soul and terrible in will, even more difficult than our General Rinca after being imprisoned and polluted by a curse. ”

Tails turned his head eagerly: "But why do they ......"

The Silver Shadow Man nodded.

"You know, there's a very interesting thing," the other person's voice seemed a little leisurely at the moment, "under this terrible curse, these dead souls are still inseparable from the world before they were alive, although they are muddy. ”

"Some of the deepest emotions and obsessions, far from being forgotten, have grown stronger and more deformed—they have become detached from memory and situation, leaving only feelings and instincts.

"For example......" the Silver Shadow man snorted as he fought in chaos.

Tails watched the strangely described new souls and suddenly realized.

"Let me introduce," said the Silver Shadow Man, pointing to the giant revenant decorated with animal teeth, and whispered:

"Loxada Dark Thunder. ”

"And its hundreds or thousands of orc friends. ”

Tails' thoughts flickered.

"Dark Thunder?Orcs?"

The Silver Shadow man bowed his head again.

"I heard from a dead man that it was a certain war chief of the Dark Thunder Tribe. ”

"He was also one of the glacial orcs who went south after the collapse of the ancient empire, and was responsible for the hundreds of raids and bloodshed in the Northland Province back then," the Silver Shadow Man was silent for a moment, and continued, "Until it died in an ambush by the Northlanders and the Mountain Elves, it was customary to call it the 'Hammer of Plunder'. ”

Hammer of Plunder.

Tails watched the orc ghost named Loxada from afar, watching the beastly biting battle of the other side and the embarrassed General Linka thoughtfully.

"It's easier for you to remember your enemies than you are to remember yourself. ”

The Silver Shadow Man chuckled softly.

"That's why I, who was in danger, can still stand here and watch the fight with you, while they can only be there, headless and brainless, killing each other. ”

The Silver Shadow Man turned around and raised his index finger to Tails:

"Divide and weaken your enemies by all means - this is war. ”

Tails frowned, and he noticed that the silver light began to dance above the silver man's head again:

[It's weird.] 】

"The first day I opened my eyes here, I was looking for a way to permanently balance them and suppress these souls," the Silver Shadow Man shook his head slightly, "This is one of the results in front of me." ”

The silver mang continued to beat, and this time, it showed an unusually large number of words:

[Nothing.] 】

[On the first day, I was obviously beaten to the ground. 】

[Pretending to be a female ghost, she escaped. 】

Tails withdrew his gaze from the silver letter, and looked at the silver shadow man with a strange expression.

Really......

Pretending to be a ......

Ahem.

Tails struggled to pull his boring thoughts back to his mind and turn his attention to the immediate eyes: two wrestling spirits flew a meter away from them, and in a scream of pain, they all turned into black mist and dispersed.

"It's ironic, it's obviously the ...... of the world after death"

He looked at the increasingly white-hot battle in front of him and sighed: "Struggles and conflicts have not disappeared. ”

"Even if it's the same cursed revenant," Tails shook his head as he watched a fierce human revenant bite off half of another orc revenant's face, "...... between revenant and revenant"

"They're still incompatible. ”

"Repeating the hatred and pain of life. ”

"It's just that the war of the mortal world has become the war of the souls. ”

This time, the Silver Shadow Man didn't speak.

He looked intently at the room, as if that was the best performance.

"It's time for us to go—before the mountain elves come to war. After a few seconds, he said lightly.

Tails moved: "Elves, there are elven spirits here?"

"Yes, compared to humans and orcs," the Silver Shadow snorted coldly, "those long-eared souls are more special and troublesome - I'm not very good at dealing with them. ”

The silver mangs automatically appeared above his head, combined into a sentence:

Because he had pretended to be their female chief. 】

[Also recognized.] 】

Tails once again glanced strangely at the long-dead great man beside him.

This made the silver shadow man, who had long felt inappropriate, quite uneasy: "What's wrong?"

"It's okay," Tails withdrew his gaze from the top of his head, shaking his head nonchalantly in denial, "Not even the elves spared ......"

"Yes, this curse is quite fair," the Silver Shadow Man paused, then nodded slightly, as if sighing:

"At least – it's never racist. ”

"And it's really time for us to go. ”

In the next second, the Silver Shadow Man suddenly grabbed Tails' left arm and pulled him back!

Tails was startled and fell backwards in a hurry!

Lamenting his bad luck, he was about to face the impact of the back of his head and the rock wall, but he only heard the faint roar behind him, and he felt that he was being dragged all the way, and the endless fighting souls in front of him became smaller and smaller in his field of vision.

After about a dozen seconds, finally, Tails' arm loosened, and he was let go.

Tails scrambled to his feet from the ground, realizing that he had stepped on a new place.

Although under the "illumination" of the Silver Shadow Man, the so-called "new place" is just another rock beneath your feet.

When Tails raised his head, he was surprised to see that the two rock walls in front of him were slowly closing, closing the battlefield of the fighting revenants at the other end and disappearing from sight.

He blinked several times.

Just now, the Silver Shadow Man took him with him...... Crossed a rock wall?

What kind of power is this?

Everything I've seen in these few hours, the revenant, the silver shadow, the curse...... Either one, it was far beyond his imagination.

In the faint rumbling sound, the rock walls were pressed together, as if not a single crack had ever been cracked in between.

"Go ahead," said the Silver Shadow man slowly.

"It's time for you to go. ”

"Go back to the world to which you truly belong. ”

Tails, who could see the gods, came back to his senses.

The prince swallowed: "Ah, yes. ”

Oh, yes.

I should......

It's time for me to go.

There are many more...... Waiting for me.

Tails took a few deep breaths, remembering the road ahead, and his heart darkened.

"If I still can, can I go?" he looked at the Silver Shadow man hesitantly.

"As long as you want. The Silver Shadow Man nodded flatly.

The rock formations began to shake again.

"And after today, I will block all possible entrances and exits here," the Silver Shadow Man shook his head slowly as the rock formation shook, his words dull and sad, "The Black Path will be cut off. ”

"There's no one here to get in safely. ”

"No one will go astray anymore. ”

"No one will ever see such sorrow again. ”

"You'll be the last one. ”

The light on the Silver Shadow shone slightly, and he looked at the pitch-black cavern in front of him, silent.

Tails was stunned.

But he looked at the other party's appearance, looked at the dark features, but he couldn't speak.

"And you, Bright Star, are to keep this secret to heart, or simply forget everything here. ”

Tails was stunned: "What?"

"So as not to cause more trouble," the Silver Shadow Man shook his head:

"It is important to know that not everyone who comes to the curse is here to eliminate and solve it. ”

It took Tails three seconds to comprehend the "bigger trouble" and looked up in confusion:

"What about this so-called 'curse of the Iron King', these revenants...... Will they go on like this, buried deep in the Black Path, under Longxiao City?"

The Silver Shadow man keenly asked:

"What do you mean?"

Tails recalled the layers of grimaces and felt sick to his stomach.

"It might be a good idea to close the Black Way so that the people above don't come down, but the general said," he said worriedly, "they will ...... one day."

Tails glanced at the Silver Shadow Man, and then whispered, "I want to go back to ......"

The Silver Shadow Man didn't answer.

"Don't forget Longxiao—your Arendburg," Tails said hesitantly, looking at him, "There are thousands of people living above us, and even the whole world of living people. ”

The Silver Shadow Man slowly looked up and looked back at him.

"Mighty as you seem to be afraid of this curse," Tails asked with a worried face, "and if the curse continues to grow, these revenants will ...... one day."

"On the ground?"
