A fearful thought arose in my heart.
"Am I... so lucky that I was thrown by the waves onto an isolated island in the Sea of the Dead? "
This was absolutely unlucky, more unlucky than any previous trip.
Keleser was not interested in the treasures in the Sea of the Dead, but fate chose him and used the waves to throw him here.
Thousands of adventurers and sailors who are keen on exploring treasures have been exploring the sea for a lifetime without finding anything.
The plants growing on the isolated island are very strange. No matter what type of plant it is, whether it is roots, stems, leaves or flowers, they all show a gray-black color and exude a strong magical aura. This is the only living creature on the isolated island.
Of course, this is if you don’t count the various undead ghosts with translucent bodies floating in every corner of the island...
However, it seems that because Keleser is protected by Belgared with the divine breath, these dead souls do not dare to approach.
"I...did I come to the island of the dead in the sea of the dead?"
These are not undead, they should be some translucent monsters... Kelese judged this.
Although the "undead" did not dare to approach Keleser, the scenery in front of him still made him feel afraid.
Apart from these demonized plants and dead souls, there are only weird and jagged piles of rocks on the island.
Keleser recalled the second sentence in the Holy Stone's prophecy and compared it with the current scene.
"The end of the West Sea is the Night of Eternal Land; the ruins below the horizon are inherited treasures. The stone giant who has obtained the power of the mark stirs up the waves."
After careful consideration, Keleser suddenly discovered that this visit to the Sea of the Undead was actually a good opportunity to explore the emblem.
As for the treasure mentioned in the prophecy, it is probably the third incomplete part of the emblem "Elliwell".
The prophecy also mentions "the stone giant who gained the power of the mark." A stone giant monster on this island gained the power of the emblem.
In other words, Kelese only needs to defeat this monster to recover the emblem.
At present, he has obtained two incomplete parts of the emblem, which together are exactly half of "Elliwell".
The first part is carried by the Holy Sword itself;
The second one was obtained by Kelese after killing the resident monster in the Tower of Time Reverse.
Keleser regained his energy and moved cautiously, searching nearby for the so-called stone giant monster in the prophecy, preparing for battle.
At the same time, he braced himself and paid attention to his steps, because one or several dark holes would often appear inexplicably on the ground.
These unexpected traps will swallow up monsters that accidentally fall into them.
Keleser had never seen a living monster crawl out of the pit.
Ahead is a forest that covers an area smaller than normal, and the tree trunks and leaves inside are pitch black.
So even though it was small, it was still impossible to see what was in the middle, but a strong demonic aura erupted from it.
Kelese thought to himself that there must be something weird in this small forest.
Maybe it's the so-called stone giant monster?
No, no, the stone giant shouldn't be that small, right?
He mustered up the courage to take the first step.
Not far away, the road ahead suddenly became clear from darkness. It's a lake. What makes people feel weird is that the lake water is also pitch black, and it is so dark that you can barely see the bottom of the lake.
Keleser guessed that this should be considered the center of the island, right?
There is a hinterland in the center of the lake, about five meters away from the visitor.
There is a strangely rounded large stone placed in the hinterland, and... it beats regularly like a living creature.
"Perhaps the treasure that adventurers dream of is this huge stone that has nothing to do with the treasure. Eh..."
The devil's breath is strong. The strange stone in front of me actually gave off the same aura as the monster.
It turns out that it is the source of the magic breath coming out of the forest.
If we attack this boulder, maybe something will happen? Be it good or bad.
Kereser decided to take a gamble.
He condensed the holy breath of thunder with his magic power, and prepared to use the sacred lightning strike to destroy the strange boulder in front of him.
At the call of the God of Thunder General Kelese, thunder flashed in the night sky. The roar broke through the air continuously. But at the same time, the dark lake seemed to sense the flow of magic and reacted and became active.
The water in the lake is like mucus, sticking to each other and rolling up, turning into a soft protective shield to protect the hinterland of the lake.
All the lightning focused on the general, resonating with his demonic veins.
Dazzling thunder and lightning was released from the blade of the holy sword, and then turned into a thunder dragon, biting the slime shield in the lake.
The scattered lightning around him also formed a demon-hunting web to surround the target.
The blast of thunder turns out to be the nemesis of all monsters.
But in front of this protective shield made of dark liquid, it seemed to be useless.
Keleser tried his best to release magic power and poured it into the magic martial arts, trying to pierce the monster's shield.
The liquid guarding the strange boulder is not water, but an unknown insulating liquid. Regarding this, Keleser didn't suddenly realize the phenomenon until he discovered a second ago that the lightning strike was not conducted through the liquid to the entire lake.
The light of thunder did not touch the hinterland even a moment before disappearing. Keleser, who had excessively consumed his magic power, withdrew his magic power and half-knelt down to rest while panting.
The Holy Breath of Thunder temporarily faded away, and the dark liquid in the lake returned to its original state. The surface of the lake returned to calm, and the boulders in the hinterland were stirring as before.
It's really weird... The liquid thing in the lake should be considered a kind of monster.
But it only guards the hinterland, and even if it is attacked by a group of violent thunders like just now, it will not take the initiative to fight back.
Moreover, its ability to protect against demons is very powerful, even stronger than the magic defense shield used by high-level magicians.
Keleser stopped to rest and no longer attacked recklessly, because doing so would only waste his magic power in vain. So he sat down on the ground and calmed down to consider the countermeasures.
From the moment he saw the strange boulder in the hinterland, Keleser felt that it looked like something similar, but what exactly it looked like, he couldn't tell.
Mellow... alive... agitating... agitating... beating...
There are "guards" strictly protecting it outside, which may mean that this stone is very fragile... This huge stone has life and is very fragile...
The ground began to tremble unexpectedly. Keleser, who was deep in thought, felt his heart stop and was startled.
"Scared me to death..." Keleser used his palms to calm his heart that was beating violently due to surprise.
Waves of agitation spread from his chest to his palms.
It seemed that he was frightened, and his mind suddenly became clear;
Or perhaps a random action just now inspired his inspiration.
At this point he seemed to have made a surprising discovery.
"Could it be that...that weird beating boulder is the "heart" of the island? It can be deduced from this... that the island itself is the body of the prophesied "Stone Giant"? "
At the same time that he realized this, the ground was turbulent again. This earthquake seemed to have a high magnitude, making it impossible for Keleser to stand firm. He thrust the giant sword into the ground hard and used it as a support to prevent himself from slipping.
The ground became tilted until the plane of the island stood upright!
As the ground suddenly became vertical, the greatsword slipped from the crack and Kelese fell into the sea with it.
At this time, the holy sword shined again, and he was protected by the holy sword and floated to the distant sea. After spitting out a few mouthfuls of sea water that was difficult to swallow, he discovered an astonishing spectacle.
The island no longer looks like an island, but has become a moving stone giant. The boulders on the island are stacked together with the island itself to resemble a human being.
Roaring across the sky, even heavy rain began to fall, and the waves began to surge with the same momentum as the storms experienced during the previous boat ride.
Although Keleser is a general with rich combat experience, this is the first time he has seen such a huge monster, even bigger than the legendary dragon.
How on earth is Keleser going to deal with such a big monster?
A wave hit him behind him, making his vision go dark. His body drifted farther away with the violently swaying waves. Under the protection of the holy sword, he was not seriously injured.
Seen from a further distance, the stone giant with its upper body exposed from the sea waved its arms wildly and roared, as if calling for wind and rain, ravaging the sea.
It is almost impossible to fight it head-on, even if you send an entire army to fight it, it is impossible to win.
Keleser thought about how to attack his weakness.
Based on previous experience, there is no doubt that the giant's weakness is the heart. However, there is a powerful magic shield around it that protects it well. Is there any way to destroy it?
Keleser thought of something. According to the principle of "defense effectiveness balance" in magic science, when the magic defense ability of a magic substance is extremely high, its physical defense ability will definitely be extremely fragile.
In other words, if Kelese can get close to the giant's heart, he can actually cut open the magic shield with his giant sword.
But this is difficult to do. The giant's body is very large and difficult to get close to;
Secondly, even if you can successfully get close, there is no way to climb to the giant's "chest".
The target part can already be seen from a distance.
The dark place in the giant's chest was the dense forest where Keleser had been just now. Although the direction and location of his sight had changed, he could still tell the difference.
"Vote me out."
In a daze, Keleser heard a voice, pleading with him urgently for victory. At this time, the original holy sword Belgard responded to the general's will to win. It was shining with magical silver light.
"You...how do you want me to vote you out?"
Kelese thought to himself that no matter how strong he was, he would never be able to throw a giant sword and hit the target accurately.
The emblem on the holy sword shines brightly and responds to the owner: "Drive your thoughts to change the form of the holy sword to what you need!"
Keleser speculated carefully, trying to understand the meaning of the holy object.
He asked himself, in order to be able to destroy the giant's heart with one blow, what weapons would he need at this time?
A long-distance launching weapon, it is powerful and can kill with one hit.
Keleser understood, "I... need a bow and an arrow!"
As the general's thoughts ignited, the giant sword in his hand turned into a virtual body and merged into the light.
Received the blessing of the sea god brought by the sacred weapon, Keleser stood on the sea and stared at the raging stone giant in the distance.
The general held a huge curved blue bow in his left hand, and a one-meter-long incorporeal arrow made of thunder photons in his right hand.
The second form of the sacred weapon - the form of the Neptune's Divine Bow, absorbs the surrounding sacred elements to condense the entity, and appears in the hands of the silver-winged general Keleser.
Standing on the sea, the general took a posture to draw the bow, his arm holding the bow as tight as a bowstring. He adjusted the tilt of the shot and held the divine bow in a unique posture. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, aiming at the target a hundred meters away.
The arrows on the bow are ready to go like birds of prey.
"Whoosh!" A crackling sound pierced the sky, and arrows filled with fiery magic and murderous intent were shot in the direction of the target.
The lightning arrow passed through the air, through the strong wind, through the rain curtain, through the vertical dense forest, and even through the viscous liquid shield, overcoming numerous obstacles and accurately hitting the "heart" of the monster.
The stone, which symbolized the stone giant's source of life, exploded like a ball punctured by a needle.
It was destroyed by powerful arrows of light. The monster's magic power supply was instantly cut off. The giant's movements stopped for an instant.
The loud crashing sound reached Keleser's ears from afar.
From a distance, on the surface of the giant's body, pieces of stone lost their binding force and peeled off.
The boulders that made up the body continued to separate and collapse.
Not long after, the giant turned into tens of millions of rubbles, lost its original momentum, and sank silently into the sea.
Thanks to the awakening of the second level of power of the Holy Sword, which turned into a powerful divine bow, this huge monster was killed in one fell swoop.
"Eh..." After achieving complete victory and destroying Demon Wu into pieces that no longer existed, he seemed to realize something.
At this point Keleser yelled Oops! The entire island has disappeared, how can I find the whereabouts of the emblem?
Could it be that he personally dived into the seabed, rediscovered the stones on the island piece by piece, and spent a long time to find and recover the incomplete emblem mark carved in a corner of the island's fragments?
This is a job that is a hundred times harder and more difficult than fighting the huge monster just now!
But later, it turned out that he was actually worrying too much. Just above the sea level where the giant fell, a blue light spot lit up.
Relying on the blessing of the Poseidon brought by the sacred weapon, Kelese hurriedly walked across the sea to the source of the bright spot.
He took a closer look and saw that the bright spot was the third incomplete part of the emblem "Elliwell".
The blue light seemed to be absorbed, extinguishing every photon, and then completely disappeared without a trace.
At the same time, on Keleser's weapon that had returned to the form of a giant sword, a new quarter of the ancient emblem appeared, spliced together with the old part.
The third part can also be regarded as successful recycling.
This is the biggest gain from this extremely difficult sea journey.
Later, while floating in the sea with the power of the Holy Sword, Keleser happened to be discovered by a passing ship, and once again joined the journey towards the north of the continent.
When he exhausted all his remaining strength to board the ship and stepped onto the deck, he fainted the next moment.
This voyage did not encounter any storms, or even rainy weather. It was really smooth sailing.
But Keleser was still worried.
When he took the first step on land and regained a sense of stability in his heart, Keleser swore secretly. He would never go on a boat trip again except under special circumstances.
From then on, Keleser no longer called his holy sword "Holy Sword".
Because it is not only a giant sword, but also an all-powerful sacred weapon.
It can change into two different forms according to the battle situation - a giant sword and a bow. Perhaps it can also change into other forms during future travels. Kelese decided to honor this sacred weapon as "Holy Weapon".
For Kelese, the journey to find the incomplete Emblem of Time is only the last part.

The Alchemy of the Principality of Valentino, Year 256, Day 05 of the Dark Moon...
Defeated in the battle with the entangled kingdom's old enemy... Ever since he was rescued by the adventurers, when he woke up, he didn't know how many days he had slept?
That day, the demonic veins began to show a sub-normal state, which was probably a sequelae. Now I can no longer believe in cause and effect.
If the Demon Lord had not left, I think I would have died and come back alive.
I probably guessed who he was... I really don't understand why he didn't do this, damn...
(turn page)
Before meeting the enemy, he went to the ruins of the Eagle Palace to look for clues to the "dream memory".
Since experiencing his personal experience, I really admire Mr. Alphonse more and more.
Especially after personally experiencing his Southern Expedition...
Can my emblem become as strong as his...
Separated from Shirley...where is she now...want to see her...
-
Late at night, Filsa raised his left hand with difficulty, picked up a thin loaf of white bread from the table, and slowly put it into his mouth. He was so hungry that his throat was choked with crumbs, and he coughed violently several times.
Ever since he was defeated in the death duel with Van—although the accurate result was that both sides were injured, Firsa was injured more seriously—
Later, he was rescued by a group of adventurers who happened to pass by. They accepted the orders of the Adventurer's Guild and went to the ruins to find Demon Lord Fred and the Demon Generals around him.
As a result, they found no trace of the enemy. But then they discovered something else wrong, so they decided to continue exploring in depth, and finally found Filsa, who was fighting with the enemy and dying at the end of the secret passage maze.
Knowing that he was no match for the many adventurers who came for reinforcements, Fan used fire magic to destroy the unstable secret passage in the maze, and took advantage of the chaos to escape from the ruins.
By the time the adventurers helped Filsa out of the collapsed secret passage, the trace of Van had long since disappeared.
The adventurers kindly sent Firza to a nearby town called "Dip".
As a seriously injured person, he lost contact with his companion Shirley after being rescued from the ruins, and fell into a coma for several days.
Only now is his injury starting to improve.
"Next time... we must defeat the enemy!" Filsa vowed secretly.
-
Vatican Titalun limped and was seriously injured and fled to the deserted desert.
The battle with the reincarnation of Alphonse almost exhausted his magic power, but in the end, he was still unable to kill him.
Instead, he was hindered by a group of adventurers who suddenly appeared.
With the current injuries on his body, he had to take a good rest before he could continue to pursue the enemy.
He secretly made a poisonous oath that the next time they met, he would kill Alphonse at all costs, even if they had to die together.
The tired Fan leaned under a tree, calmed down his mind, adjusted his demonic breath, closed his eyes and rested his mind.
In the blur, the memories of the Kingdom period came back again.
