Later generations of Crescent Island history will record this early summer of 4165 in the form of poetry:
"Monsters and monsters that should not exist in this world are roaming in Xinjing.
The first one to arrive was a being that was once human but no longer human.
Longing for the flesh and blood that is still human, thinking that if he swallows it, he can transform into a human again.
The Son of Man is indeed delicious.
And the second coming was the prisoner of Purgatory, a beast standing upright in the likeness of man.
With hatred for humans and a desire for flesh and blood, he came to the world to feast.
The Son of Man is indeed delicious. "
Under the endless darkness brought by the volcanic ash, a creeping black shadow broke through the door, followed by a scream from the trembling person hiding in the house.
The white fairy tree finally showed its claws after losing the light.
The roots deeply rooted in the soil broke out and gathered together to form a snake-like wriggling vine.
The spreading black vines are like arteries, stirring to explore the ruins of any individuals who died or were seriously injured in the previous earthquake and are still alive. Then, like a chef who is most economical with ingredients, he will eat these broken corpses of humans, ghosts and even livestock. Use it again.
The rules of life and death are rewritten in the realm of the Lord of Eternal Night.
All flesh and blood here are just materials.
This is the most blasphemous and most abhorrent existence to the living. Those dead things stand up again, with pale and bloodless faces that are familiar to the living, waving their twisted limbs and attacking them.
Most people only know how to hold on to their remaining relatives and friends, yell, curse, and cry loudly, and try their best to "awaken" the monster's only recognizable human face with sounds that will be easily drowned in the surrounding environment. them. However, a small number of people recognized the reality and plucked up the courage to raise weapons, taking their destiny into their own hands instead of expecting prayers to work.
But no matter which choice is made, it is in vain, and the latter's great courage only delays the time of being included in the darkness.
They are just businessmen, workers and citizens.
Lack of effective weapons, training, and most importantly.
Unified command.
With good command and high morale, even an army of peasant soldiers was enough to fight against a well-equipped knight. But most of the time, even if they have an overwhelming advantage in numbers, they are often scattered by heavy cavalry charges.
If 10 farmers know how to poke out the sharp sticks in their hands together, if they know how to form a formation and point their weapons at each other at the enemy instead of teammates, and if they can stay together instead of running away, they can survive for a while.
The time gained is enough for the friendly forces to complete the encirclement or support, thereby achieving victory.
But the nobles of Xinjing, who were supposed to be in charge, abandoned all the civilians and had done so since the beginning of the earthquake.
They live in the inner ring area of Xinjing. The moment the disaster occurred, they believed that their opponents would only be other Chinese people as always. Therefore, they refused to separate any troops and officers loyal to them, for fear that the loss of manpower would lead to the disaster after the disaster was over. There is no way to seek more benefits for yourself.
Until the creeping shadows invaded their own area, these people insisted that the Chinese people who opposed them were using some evil methods.
They had long forgotten the eternal enemy, thinking that the person they had been fighting against in just a few decades of life was their destined opponent. But the greatest threat to the present world has never been the struggle between the living. In the eternal night where flowers are blooming, in the ruins filled with mourning victims, under the black snow that is indistinguishable with the endless cold wind mixed with volcanic ash.
She stepped barefoot and stepped out of the darkness.
His emotionless eyes stared straight at the flashing electric light in the distance.
Crescent Continent is a continent that physically borders the inner world. It is more susceptible to erosion than Rigal from beginning to end. This is also the reason why the people of Placia chose to attack here.
The White Church believes that the deity it believes in is supreme because she is "an omniscient and omnipotent existence that has escaped those early anthropomorphic natural phenomena."
What short-lived humans have forgotten is that these anthropomorphic natural phenomena actually corresponded to certain higher beings with the ability to destroy heaven and earth in the past - they once existed for real.
The so-called progressive and advanced religious beliefs of the Lamanites are the supreme beings who think they are silent and therefore can be interpreted by the world.
If so, is there actually a counterpart?
【The Lord will grant you eternal life. 】
[Whether you desire it or not, it is not the eternal life you expect. 】
And if this existence has no interest in human beings, it does not even have personality and cognition in the true sense. It is just influenced by the human heart and takes on the human form.
She is omniscient and omnipotent and can change life, death and time at will.
But she didn't care what impact this would have on the world.
A God who is not personal, a God who does not profit from mankind.
The temperature around Otsuki Shrine dropped sharply, and the sound of gold and iron was once covered by the sound of footsteps as dense as the tide.
The recent dead and the blasphemous things pouring out from the inner world are like moths flying towards the flames towards the shrine. Although the residents may have forgotten it, the past builders of Xinjing did not do so without reason. Place the sarcophagus of the deity in the center of the shrine. The magical lines made of brass buried under the stone road connected with the lightning energy over the years to form a destructive barrier along the torii inscription rope. When they collided, most of them were destroyed in ashes.
The saying that stepping into the torii gate means stepping into the realm of God has a very clear and realistic meaning at this moment.
It seems that the previous builders of the barrier built by ancient wisdom also considered this possibility, and therefore tried to use energy that was a natural enemy for evil spirits.
At this moment, there is an alien magician here whose understanding of magic far exceeds that of humans.
With the assimilation of Erica, the thunder and lightning that kept falling in the dark sky followed the guidance and plowed out traces on the ground, accompanied by the beautiful bytes of the original language from the mouth of Miu Miu who floated due to the spell. , the excess energy leaked from the sarcophagus drew a huge passage covering an area of nearly one kilometer.
One after another, they gathered together and bloomed.
This is the Seven Stars of the Moon God.
An evil-proof barrier that protects all things of order.
It enveloped the entire Otsutsuki Shrine, including the Moon God Guards and Moon Water Force warriors who were still fighting each other.
The mortals were surprised by such strange changes in their surroundings. A small number of them even saw the moment when the dark evil things in the distance were purified by lightning. However, the unknown things were far less clearly visible than their own responsibilities and the opponents in front of them. Perhaps in order to clear the confusion in their minds, they had no choice but to put every ounce of energy into wielding the sword.
If these Moon God Guards could repent and join, they would be excellent combatants, but this will not happen. They have ceased to be loyal to Da Yue a long time ago.
The restrained combat power of one's own side seriously reduced the efficiency of their defense. Even with the support of powerful magic and sufficient magic power, individuals who had entered before it was activated and those who were too powerful could still break through.
"Do you feel it?"
“This uncomfortable bitterness of winter mixed with the sweetness of spring.”
"It's like there are thousands of invisible insects crawling under the skin. The itching is unbearable. It seems that something will burst out of the body in the next second."
Miu Miu said this in a serious tone that was far different from the previous mockery.
"The Lord of the Night has arrived."
"You mean the witch, but we have defeated -" the white-haired girl said after thinking for a while, but before she could finish her words, she saw her teacher shaking his head.
"The situation is different."
"This time it wasn't possessed."
"The so-called Lord of the Night is essentially the thoughts of the inner world that take a form that humans can understand and walk in the world, but just like the inner world, she is broken and chaotic."
"Only when she possesses an individual with the right wavelength, will she have personality, will, purpose, etc. And these things are often affected by the original will of the possessed individual." Henry explained, and then When he saw that his disciples all looked confused, he sighed.
"Imagine someone is going to throw a rock at you with clear intent."
"You can dodge, block, or even persuade the opponent not to hit them."
"But what if that was just one of the countless pieces of debris that fell from the landslide?"
"The landslide is not created to hit you, but you will still be hit by debris."
"She has no clear purpose when she is not possessed by a mortal, just like a landslide or tsunami doesn't care how many creatures it involves. She just instinctively shapes the world into the shape she recognizes."
"And this is precisely the most terrifying thing." The sage still spoke calmly, but precisely because of his calm tone, these words made everyone very uneasy.
"Your intelligence, eloquence, thoughts, emotions, everything has no effect. Because the other person doesn't understand what feelings are at all, and they can't understand your language."
"This is not an opponent that can be defeated by using wisdom. The only thing that can defeat or at least prevent such an existence is pure power." He looked back at the silver-haired man behind him who was as motionless as a statue and whose body was gradually glowing. Miss.
"But it's definitely not a good ending."
Henry didn't say it clearly, but the battle between two otherworldly forces would of course be devastating, and the landscape of Crescent Continent would probably be greatly changed from now on.
There may even be people in the future who think that it is a better choice to be summed up into the realm of night without resistance and become a wanderer with twisted limbs and a hollow soul who only knows bloodthirsty devouring.
Our Mr. Sage, a foreigner, may not be qualified to represent the people of Crescent Continent. In the final analysis, all these actions seem to be just his own opinions.
But we are born human.
We still have to live as a human being and read the world as a human being.
To love, to hate, to cry and laugh as a human being.
Go and fight your heart out.
And then die as a human being.
This may not be the correct answer in everyone's mind. There are many people who would rather give up their human form to long for eternal life.
But at least at this moment, the people around me believe in this path and are standing here.
The two big swords were unsheathed one after another.
The shape is almost the same as that of the northern dragon that can make evil spirits retreat. The sword blade reflects the light of thunder and lightning. Miu Miu flicks her fingers and attaches a small part of the thunder and lightning leaked from the sarcophagus to the two of them. on the weapon.
Kaleva took out the alien weapon from the inner world that he had captured before. Under the control of the magician, its translucent light blade could be triggered by a mortal's stupid green. This special existence as thin as a cicada's wings is also effective for these monsters. A devastating threat.
The witches stood with their bows and arrows ready. Their moods were very complicated. The gods they admired existed beside them at this moment, but both the truth of the past and the terrifying demon threat made them unsteady.
But they will still fight to the death.
Because this is the path chosen by these Chinese women who have given up the life of ladies.
Thunder and lightning attached to the Demon-Destroying Lost of the broad-bladed heavy arrow.
The first batch of ghouls that appeared long before the barrier took effect bypassed the warriors' positions and rushed directly to the Great Moon Temple.
"Get ready!" The great witch ordered.
"put!!"
