"Accusing us of being heretics! How pure are you!?"
The wizard roared when he saw those flames.
Then he stood upright, staring at Soshyan with four single golden eyes, turning his staff to protect himself with storms and spells.
But Soshyan had already cut out Fentian, and the rotating flames went straight towards Igosemer.
The wizard fought hard, but some non-warp force struck him, shattering his ancient armor.
In an instant, blood and Tao Gang fragments flew into the air.
Sosh stepped forward with Talos at his side, forcing the wizards to retreat, forcing them to use their own magic to protect themselves until even that was no longer possible.
When the flames subsided, Igosemo's protective spell finally failed, and he knelt on the ground with one leg. The staff in his hand shattered, and thick black blood flowed from the shattered breastplate.
"This power...this power...let me think—"
Although his life was hanging by a thread, Igosemo lowered his head and murmured to himself, seeming to still be recalling the impact just now and studying the source of the power that almost destroyed him.
Soshiyang held Fentian close to him, and the wizard suddenly trembled as if having a spasm. He pressed a sharp glove on his chest to stop the bleeding, but it was in vain.
He did not resist Soshyan and kicked him down, but he spoke.
"Soshyan——"
Igosemo's words were interspersed with short and uneven breaths.
"I understand...I understand...you have been marked with the favor of a false god."
Soshiyang didn't answer his words, he just raised Fentian and stabbed deeply into the opponent's chest. The force was so strong that the spikes on the top penetrated the floor.
The wizard spit out a mouthful of black blood and splashed it on his face and throat. He raised his head and looked at Soshyan. The light in his golden eyes disappeared, and then he suddenly took a breath and laughed.
"are you ready?"
His four eyes rolled up, and then the majestic warp evil fire burst out from the wizard's body, causing it to fly backwards.
Soshyan fell sideways on the high platform, and the other party's laughter echoed in his ears.
This time his whole body was on fire, his armor and body were smoking, pain radiated from his chest, arms and legs, and he heard Talos calling his name and running to help him.
"how come......."
I originally thought that the other party was already a lamb to be slaughtered, but I didn't expect that this would happen in the end.
Suddenly, all the sounds faded away. Soshyan opened his eyes and found himself walking alone in the cold corridor.
This is Obsidian Fortress, his former home.
Soshyan stopped and slowly exhaled, feeling that his head was in severe pain, his ears were ringing, and his bones seemed to be growing, causing pain in his limbs.
My pain and the pain of not breaking the oath may be different, but the source is exactly the same.
In silence, he walked to the end of the corridor and stopped. In front of him was a door made of fine gold, inlaid with thick wood, but it had been cracked and damaged, breaking through the figures carved on it.
Warriors in robes held their swords high, their faces looking toward the stars above.
Soshyan placed his hand on the rough surface of the wood and felt a familiar pulse pass into my palm.
It has different shades, rushes and slowness, as if the fortress is a living creature, a dying creature.
At this close distance, he found that he could hear something else, something almost drowned out by the silence.
He slowly leaned down and put his ear to the wall to listen carefully. It was the soft whispers of a group of people.
Our blood-stained stars——
Soshyan had not recited this war cry for many years.
Soshyan stepped back from the door and drew his sword.
There were more cracks and clicks, and then a bubbly hiss as a seal on the wall to his left cracked and blackened, and thick liquid rushed in.
It began to sprinkle on the walls, the smell filled with the stench of death and decay, and when it fell to the ground, it slowly spread around.
"This is--"
Soshyan used his free hand to hold the leak in an attempt to stop it, but more seals cracked and crumbled, and more darkness poured into the corridor, streaming down the walls and surrounding his feet.
He tried to pull away from it, but the liquid pulled hard, preventing him from moving.
The darkness then churned and transformed into a figure looming over him, as plain as an unfinished statue.
Soshyan reacted instantly and slashed the sword at the dark figure, but it did not crack or move.
Instead, Soshyan lost his weapon, and the black liquid wrapped around his wrists and chest. The weight of the liquid made him feel like he was carrying a mountain on his back.
"I'm fearless!"
Soshyan shouted to the figure.
"You should be afraid."
Only then did he see the face in the darkness clearly, his own face, but it was terrifyingly gloomy.
Then it began to scream in a thousand shapes, and at the same time the darkness began to climb higher and higher until it filled Soshyan's mouth and nose and ears, his eyes, and finally overwhelmed him completely.
He felt like he was losing his body and becoming a bystander, wrapped in an invisible force.
But at the critical moment, Soshyan smelled a fragrance, similar to some kind of plant, with the breath of life, rushing to his forehead, making him wake up after a deep breath.
"ah!"
After waking up, he subconsciously touched the place where the smell came from and found that it was a light cyan leaf-shaped badge given to her by Veronica, but it had now turned into powder.
Then he saw that Igothemer had reshaped himself out of a pile of broken bones and armor, transforming him into a monster, a demon.
He stood up again, huge and twisted.
Talos has been fighting the opponent, protecting Soshyan, who was previously unconscious.
Soshyan immediately supported himself on his hands and knees. At this time, a pair of mottled wings sprouted from the wizard's back. Talos ran and jumped, slashing at the wizard's transformed body with a roaring chain saw.
The rotating saw teeth bit into the armor and crystal skin, leaving the surrounding space drenched in debris and silver ichor.
Egothemor then grabbed Talos, roaring with clawed hands, and threw him over the edge of the dais.
Talos fell heavily, but he had driven the entire magazine of his bolter into the wizard's chest and wings, leaving only a burst of warp fire that he had originally attacked Soshyan to shatter a piece of the floor.
"Damn it!"
Soshiyang roared, rushed forward, and stabbed Fentian into the wizard's crystal skin.
The opponent summoned a stream of evil fire and knocked him back. His armor was smoking, but it was unable to really shake Soshiyang.
Soshyan gathered his strength and let a black fire envelope the opponent.
Spiraling flames ignited the wizard, causing his crystal skin to flow like molten metal and making him scream.
"Garmo Zejie!"
