(Additional update, additional update, same as tomorrow, still additional update)
The pitch-black realm enveloped the entire royal city, and everything was included in this realm. The God of Fear, who had used the huge soul of the Perfect One for his own use and occupied the body of the divine body, was now so powerful that it was unimaginable.
Different from the previous "Kingdom of God" that was slowly expanding in order to collect fear, strengthen its power, what the God of Fear is doing now is to release his power, and then forcibly drag everyone's souls into his "Kingdom of God" country".
In every corner of the royal city, people fell to the ground. Whether it was a great knight, a great mage or an ordinary person, the result was the same. Their souls and wills were too insignificant in front of the God of Fear at this time. some.
Dead silence, a dead silence, no sound could be heard in the royal city, in the Kingdom of God, there was silence, Guixu, the sea of death, mercilessly and equally drowned everyone.
Thin threads spread out from the body of the person who fell on the ground, extending to the God of Fear occupying the body of the god in the sky. It was the power transformed from the growing and spreading fear. .
"How long will it take before the end! I don't want this, I don't want this, let me die, let me die!"
"No, no, no, is anyone here? Someone, please, kill me..."
"Oooh, why, why can't I pass out? I'm so desperate and numb. Let me be numb."
The desperate wail of the soul echoes in this space, manifesting into a solid surge of black mist, wandering and circulating in the kingdom of the God of Fear.
In that bottomless, endlessly sinking sea of death, time is stretched to a distorted scale. Every second in the external material world may be one hour for those whose souls are pulled in.
There is only deathly silence and eternal sinking. In this ocean, except for a trace of extremely dim skylight above the head, one can only see the endless dark deep sea world below.
Maybe the souls sinking in this ocean can imagine that there are terrible ocean monsters under this ocean, and are slightly afraid of them, but maybe the imagination of these ocean monsters will make people feel a little better.
Because the great terror of this ocean is not the unknown or the danger, but the endless and eternal loneliness that can be glimpsed at a glance.
The soul will drift forever in this ocean of nothingness, constantly tormented by loneliness and despair, and therefore continue to fear the unknown future.
Some people pray for numbness after despair, but they can't do it. The power of the God of Fear repairs these souls that are heading toward collapse due to despair, maintains their thinking ability and sensitivity to external things, and allows them to "live well." .
Some people seek to indulge in their own world and escape from the eternal prison of this sea of death in memories and fantasies, but it is meaningless.
When the body is still there, the soul can curl up in the body, under the protection of the body, and maintain its own illusory world of imagination in its own body that is like home.
But at this moment, without a body, the soul was nakedly taken out and thrown into this sea of sinking. It could not even fall into its own world. Its consciousness was paying attention to this ocean uncontrollably, and because of this ocean Eternity and monotony, and despair and panic.
The power of fear is rising. There are still countless things surviving within the royal city, and they are also dying out at a very fast speed.
Above the palace, a gorgeous translucent silk canvas appears on the top, forming a circle of territory to protect the palace. The Banner of Inthemis, Arestle's ultimate defense means, the scope of neutralization includes, physics, Magic, spirituality, even theurgy.
But even so, it was emitting soft light at the moment, and the magic circuits and runes inside were too fine and diverse, and had turned into a giant banner decorated like patterned lines.
It is also being eroded by the realm of the Kingdom of the God of Fear, and is gradually dimming. I don’t know how long it will take before this final barrier will also be destroyed.
Under the shadow of the royal city, all other areas have collapsed, and all residents have been dragged into the deathly sea of the God of Fear, turning into living fear generators, nourished by the fear constantly generated by their souls, and are still growing stronger and expanding. The god of fear who covers his own territory.
Only the Church of Night, the tiny dome supported by the power of Lady Night, is still struggling to support itself under the erosion of the power of the God of Fear. The not-so-powerful divine power is crumbling under the pressure of the God of Fear.
"My dear believers, I may not be able to answer your prayers for the time being. Before that, I will turn all my strength into a shelter. I don't know how long it can last. Please don't give up hope. "
"I have always observed you and witnessed what you did. Because of this, I love and trust you. If there is still a chance to wake up, I hope to see you again. Please remember that the darker the night, the brighter the stars. The brighter it gets."
The believers of Lady of the Night are currently looking at the shelter of Lady of the Night, who is shrinking and suppressed by the power of the God of Fear, and they are constantly praying for the power of the Lady of the Night.
Aviya's face is very pale. Perhaps believers believe that the Lady of the Night is a being as powerful as those ancient gods.
But the girl knows that the power of the Lady of the Night is a bit ridiculous in front of a real veteran god, just like a newborn baby facing an adult.
Just as the believers continued to move closer to the center, praying and protecting themselves with the power that Lady of the Night had previously sent down, Lady of the Night's voice appeared in the minds of every believer here, plain yet firm.
"Is it the voice of the Lady of the Night, who once again answers our prayers?"
"That's great. A generous god like Lady Night will definitely not abandon us. The realm of Night has become bigger!"
"No, no, I can't feel the prayer communication network anymore. We have lost contact with Lady Night."
"Really, really...how could this happen!"
"No...no, could it be..."
The first moment they heard the voice of the Lady of the Night, the believers cheered from the bottom of their hearts. When they discovered that the shelter of the Night had suddenly expanded at this moment, they were even more excited and joyful. The Lady of the Night would not give up on them. .
But after realizing some other meanings in Lady Night's words, these believers began to panic.
They first felt that they had lost contact with the prayer communication network, and then they felt an incomprehensible emptiness in their hearts. An object of their faith had disappeared.
"Ms. Darkness..."
Aviya silently recited this name that only she and Wang Yu knew, feeling sad in her heart.
…
"Mr. Garcia, the connection between us and the prayer communication network is broken. Divine magic is currently unavailable. Our connection with the Royal City's Night Blade has been completely severed."
"The magic communication device has been blocked a long time ago. The only working prayer communication network is now disconnected. Moreover, it seems that our connection with the Lady of the Night has also disappeared."
Garcia, who was riding on a pure-blooded war horse, waving his whip and driving the horse back to the royal city as quickly as possible, looked extremely grim as he listened to the report from Kevin on the magic communication device.
After the divine descent that took place before the Royal City of Aleister and the unstoppable ritual that took place in the Royal Capital of Seventan, the Aleister army that went on an expedition to Seventan began to rush back towards the destination desperately.
It was obviously supposed to be a triumphant return after defeating the enemy country, but not even a single soldier looked good-looking. The ceremony performed in the capital of Severantan and the intelligence coming from the capital of Arestle let them know that the situation at this time was How dangerous.
As one of the great knights and commanders, Garcia, together with many other outstanding knights, rode the best horses in the army, and their owners had reluctantly fed them the life potential potion, and rushed to the royal city as a vanguard.
The soldiers who originally knew that the Royal City had successfully released one of the final weapons, "The Divine Skeleton of the End", were temporarily relieved. In any case, this bought them time to rush back to the Royal City.
But just now, all the news in the royal city was cut off at a certain moment.
The last message sent from the Prayer Communication Network was:
"The God of Fear has taken the body of the god as his own. All Night Blade members have launched a death-defying charge. Please hurry up and return. The royal city is in danger."
"God of Fear, why this damn guy."
Garcia rode wildly, but the gradually deepening despair in his heart could not be erased from there.
As someone who guards the Misty Forest with Aviya's aunt Lilia, and a student of Father Fang, he is very aware of some of the properties of the God of Fear.
The destructive power of this thing cannot be said to be strong, but its infectious and difficult-to-eliminate nature makes the God of Fear extremely special. Give him a suitable environment, and he will continue to spread and grow. Fear is one of the most terrifying plagues.
Garcia really didn't dare to imagine the speed of expansion and growth of the God of Fear who had obtained the body of a god. He was afraid that when he arrived at the border of King Aleister City, what he would see was the God of Fear who had been killed by the God of Fear. My hometown is completely covered by the Kingdom of God.
"It's too late. It's too long. Our speed is not fast enough. Half a day is the limit. Beyond this time..."
Talking to himself, Garcia clearly understood that there was little hope. It would take at least more than a day for them to get back, and the time was completely insufficient.
"The reinforcements from the Tower of the Cursed are on their way to Arestle. Mr. Garcia, someone is looking for you by name."
"They shouldn't be far from your location, about fifteen kilometers to the east. Go quickly. They are preparing for the arcane jump. They should be able to bring you group to the border of the kingdom, which can at least shorten the distance by half."
The message from the communicator stunned Garcia for a moment. Then, he urged his horse and whip, and ordered the team to rush in the direction of the visitor from the Tower of the Cursed, shortening the distance by half. Time was still tight, but there was still hope. Not gone.
…
In King Aleister's City, perhaps he was alone within the scope of the power of the God of Fear at this moment. The only guy who was not affected in any way, Wang Yu, was not in a better situation.
The surrounding dark field really blocked the light this time. Wang Yu could not see his hair now and could only rely on ripples and his own five senses to run in the dark royal city.
"Peng!"
Before he could react in time, Wang Yu hit the wall at the corner in front. The bricks shattered and a big hole was opened in the wall. Wang Yu took two steps back and hit him. It was not serious, but this was not the first time. Once.
"Fuck! There's no end!"
With an angry curse, Wang Yu continued to run. Within the dark realm of the God of Fear, reality had been distorted, dead silent, dark, and even the flow and even vibration of the air were gradually being erased.
Wang Yu now feels like he was running in a cave where he couldn't see his fingers when he was on earth, and he didn't know when he would hit a wall.
Moreover, the knight's sharp five senses have gradually become unable to support him in judging the direction and avoiding obstacles in this space.
The only one who was not affected was Wang Yu who could no longer be blessed by the void at this time, and the effective range was only about 2 meters of ripples.
This thing ignores any influence of the God of Fear's power and can, as always, help Wang Yu explore the unknown ahead.
However, this lack of influence is also relative. Ripple detects everything it touches and feeds this information back to Wang Yu.
But now Wang Yu's brain is a little weak. Ninety-nine percent of the information fed back by the ripples are meaningless screams and howls.
Those are the screams of fear emitted by the souls who were dragged into the Sea of Death. The fluctuations emanating from the screams of their souls are constantly reverberating, superimposing, and reverberating in the Kingdom of the God of Fear. With more and more people, Fear arises and intensifies.
For Wang Yu, more and more of what the ripples fed back turned into these meaningless screams.
Yes, for him, these crazy sounds that are enough to drive normal people crazy cannot affect his spirit at all.
However, this meaningless information drowned out the information he needed about the obstacles ahead.
He must constantly extract useful things from this pile of screams. Wang Yu's brain is not as easy to use as Aviya. This kind of behavior that requires extremely computing power, he is doing more and more. It’s hard.
He has no doubt that if he continues like this, he will soon be lost in the kingdom of the God of Fear. Even if he will not be directly affected by the power of the God of Fear, the "leftovers" of the power of Fear will be enough to defeat him, a weak person. There is a trapped lock.
"Almost there, almost there, focus."
After muttering something silently in his heart, Wang Yu's mind, which had never been anxious in the first place, completely calmed down and concentrated on selecting the content he needed among the invalid information.
He is not far from the big hole in the center of the royal city. As long as he advances a little further, he should be able to enter the shadow of the royal city from there.
"Um?"
Wang Yu stopped as he prepared to continue running. Two meters away from him, Ripple detected something. Was it a humanoid?
The ripples conveyed more and more news besides screams. Within a circle around Wang Yu, more and more shadowy figures began to appear. They were physical and real, surrounding Wang Yu in the middle. .
"..."
Wang Yu didn't know what these beings wanted to do, so he activated the secret method of the Bloody Storm Knight. Blood poured out from the blood-biting ring and turned into a giant blood snake, surrounding Wang Yu and sheltering him.
And around Wang Yu, who was surrounded by blood, in the Kingdom of the God of Fear, a large number of dark shadows appeared around Wang Yu. They were densely packed and countless. The only ones that Wang Yu could observe were those within a two-meter range.
In fact, at this moment, all the shadowy figures that had previously appeared in the Kingdom of the God of Fear have gathered here, surrounding Wang Yu in circles, layer by layer, observing this abnormal existence.
Sometimes, being too special is not a good thing. Wang Yu, a guy who is alone but can still maintain normal activities within the power of the God of Fear, is like a firefly in a dark room, a glimmer in the deep sea, too Too eye-catching…
…
"boom"
The golden blade of light fell from the sky, splitting the suspended black sun in two, which was smaller and much weaker than at the beginning, and destroying the rock platform suspended above the void below.
"Ugh, cough."
Holding his abdomen, which was the location of the vortex of fighting energy, his name was Rhodes. He was a legendary knight of the Black Sun. He gasped and coughed hard. He was forcibly crushed by the absolute power. This implicated his The fighting spirit vortex and body were severely damaged.
Not far away, Father Fang, whose upper body was naked and his muscles were covered with bloodstains and wounds, suddenly turned his head and punched back. The light on his fist flickered and collided with the sharp claws that suddenly appeared behind his back.
A light explosion occurred, and the cracked claws could no longer withstand the collision of such force. They exploded into a pile of hard and sharp fragments and fell to the ground.
"Huhu..."
The legendary knight Jialie, who had hidden himself as a perfect beast, quickly took a few steps back after colliding with Father Fang. His eyes were fixed on Father Fang, who was still walking firmly towards Rhodes who had lost the ability to fight, breathing heavily. .
This legendary knight whose body is full of monster characteristics has more than half of the sharp teeth in his mouth broken, and the sharp claws on both hands are either broken or shattered.
A large area of the scales covering the skin on the body has been chipped away, revealing a hideous wound underneath. The Earthly Dragon's tail on his back was cut off in the middle, looking slightly ridiculous. The creator of all these injuries was Father Fang, who was walking toward Rhodes.
"Ouch!"
He let out a loud roar, and the sound waves vibrated the air. With the help of the dust in the air, the fluctuations became visible and impacted towards Father Fang.
Gallie's body also disappeared at the same time, leaving a hole in the ground created by the force. When it reappeared, it was already behind Father Fang.
Contracting his leg muscles, Gallie aimed at Father Fang's head and kicked his legs out hard. The sharp claws on them were still intact, at least...
"boom!"
The meteor hammer formed by the Holy Tome of Light that fell from above slammed Galie, who was trying to attack Father Fang from behind, into the ground.
"boom."
Father Fang turned his head and punched Gallie in the face, who was in a daze after being hit by a sudden attack, knocking this powerful legendary knight to the ground and knocked him unconscious.
"Ahem, it's such an extremely powerful force..."
Rhodes watched Father Fang, who had beaten Gallie to a point where he had completely lost his ability to fight and was still uncertain about his life or death, walking towards him. He struggled to sit up and said helplessly with a hint of self-mockery.
It's not that the two legendary knights are weak, it's that Father Fang is too powerful. One man can fight two legends, and all these two legends can do is delay, making it impossible for Father Fang to get out of the gap in space.
"You win... Fang Stuart, kill us, and then go and save your kingdom. If you don't go, it may be too late. We lost this war between kingdoms."
Rhodes panted, facing Father Fang, his words were calm, and he did not panic because of his impending death.
"It's a kingdom, and it's not as fragile as you think."
Father Fang knelt down, looked at the man in front of him who was breathing hard, and spoke quietly.
"A kingdom is still too fragile, like Seventan. Although I know the plan, to me, the past kingdom has perished."
Rhodes responded with a wry smile.
"No, to be precise, Seventan is still there. Apart from the royal capital, the remaining residents are still doing well. As long as they are still there, then Seventan is definitely not dead."
Father Fang denied Rhodes' words.
"Is that so? Why don't you kill us? Fang Stuart, it's really too late."
Rhodes shook his head, obviously not taking what Father Fang said seriously, and just urging Father Fang to kill him.
"No, I won't kill you. The Light God Religion is not on any side to begin with. The Arestle army can't deal with you. I took action in order to reduce casualties. That's my selfish intention. As for killing you, , which in itself is not what I should do.”
"After all, I have seen all the little tricks Aleister has done to you in private over the years. From your standpoint, I can understand some of the actions, but as a believer in the God of Light and an Aleister, I This war must be prevented from continuing."
Fang waved his hand and continued to look into Rhodes' eyes.
"It really has some of the style of your Light God Cult."
He was slightly surprised, but thinking about the deeds of the Light God Religion, Rhodes felt relieved.
"As legends, do you still support the decisions of Severtan? Is there any reason? The priests of the Light God have actually been observing the situation in the capital of Severtan from the beginning."
"Although the upper class of Aleister is about the same, at least the lives of the residents are not bad, but you have also seen the tragic situation in the capital of Severtan. I think you should have your own judgment, right?"
Father Fang asked Rhodes casually like he was chatting with others, and did not show any signs of being enemies.
Legend is a realm that requires many hardships of life and death, many adventures, and many efforts to reach. Legendary strong men all have their own character.
It is basically impossible for a kingdom to want a legendary strongman to serve them at all costs. Legendary knights do not want to be killed, and almost no one can do anything to them.
This also makes most of the legendary knights unrestrained, and sometimes even have no fixed abode, but Rhodes and Gallie are willing to give their lives for Seventan at this moment.
"...I know that some of the decisions were wrong, but I just don't want to see the Sevetan disappear. Some ridiculous beliefs and some slim hopes have created everything now."
Rhodes was silent for a moment and gave his answer.
"The kingdom of the past? Well, it was indeed a nostalgic era. It was completely different from now. Aleister is actually similar to you. The last question is, what is happening with the Gate of the Abyss now?"
Father Fang looked slightly reminiscing, then replied and asked the last question seriously.
"running dog…"
An unpleasant word was spat out by Rhodes, with a sense of irony, as if it was talking about the Abyss Gate organization, but also about himself and Gallie.
"It's a pity. They are obviously organizations that came out of that era. The Blade of the Night, the Gate of the Abyss...the people who came together for pure ideals are still the same as before. There are not many left."
Father Fang stood up with some regret and regret in his tone.
"Go quickly, if it's later, the power of the God of Fear will engulf the entire Arestle."
Rhodes waved his hand with difficulty and urged Father Fang.
"The soul is the most precious thing of all intelligent creatures. Even the gods cannot fully understand the power contained in it."
"The God of Fear is indeed very powerful. His fear is enough to turn the human soul into darkness, just like the lightless deep sea and the eternal black starry sky. It continuously draws strength from the fear of the soul."
"Even if the God of Light comes in person, he probably won't be able to completely eradicate the God of Fear who is rooted in the emotion of fear. But on the other hand, there are some things in the soul that the God of Fear's power cannot completely erase."
"Things whose souls are born under fear will be purer and more powerful. Maybe the strength of one person is not enough to resist the overwhelming power of the God of Fear, but together, there will be no problem. Just do the same as you do, gather The Fear of the Seventans.”
"The God of Light is a very special god. His will is more like a collection of thoughts. At least he can collect these beliefs."
"What I have to do is to find a suitable person to carry this power. Coincidentally, I know a very suitable person."
Walking out of the gap in space, Father Fang ignored the two powerful legendary knights of Severtan who had been maimed. He just prayed to the God of Light in the direction of King Aleister City.
"It is too early for human beings to face the gods alone. Before they are ready, they should let the gods help."
Within the royal city, there is still one place that has not been eroded by the power of the God of Fear, and that is an unusually simple chapel of the God of Light.
This place is not well-known. Not many people know that there is a church here. Wang Yu and a few members of the Edge of Night have only been here once. This is the place where Wang Yu first met Father Fang when he came to the royal city.
The muscular statue of the God of Light placed on the table by Father Fang exudes a faint golden light, protecting this small and empty church.
Following Father Fang's prayers, some golden threads penetrated the kingdom of the God of Fear above the church and spread to various places in the royal city, where the fallen residents of Alestele were found one by one.
In the void, golden light spots were scattered in every corner of the royal city, like stars.
The darker the night, the brighter the stars.
