"Evaporation?!"
The voice from the communicator made Hao Ren and Lily stunned, and the latter suddenly exclaimed, "What evaporation?"
Why are you talking headlessly?
”"We don't know what's going on!
The monster had been quiet, but just now it suddenly yelled, and then ......"
Hao Ren interrupted the other party: "Don't say anything more, take it into the city immediately!"
We're out to meet you!
”It didn't take long for the strange nightmare monster to be brought to the cathedral, along with Lily's Monster Guards - after finding out the situation in the city, there was no need for these sub-races to continue to hide outside the city, their appearance startled several priests of Luan Cathedral, but compared to Nightmare Shadow, a few sub-races were only a minor problem.The monster was indeed evaporating.Its body was emitting a large amount of smoke, as if it was rapidly vaporizing and making a slight hissing sound, as the smoke and dust drifted away, the size of the monster was also shrinking at a slow speed that was almost imperceptible to the naked eye, although the change was extremely slow, but because it had been in this state for a while, Hao Ren could still see that it had shrunk by almost a third compared to before, and with the shrinking size, the monster also obviously fell into a weaker state.In fact, this monster has always been quite weak, since it briefly appeared in the Crow Fortress, it has always been in a half-dead state, and after being sent to the Sanctuary, it was suppressed by the divine power of this place and appeared unusually quiet, but these weakness were not fatal for a time - until the current phenomenon of "evaporation"."
It's been going on like this for thirty minutes, and it's getting worse," said one of the monks who had been outside the city before, "and before the evaporation began, it shouted some inexplicable words, but it didn't make any sense and couldn't communicate. ”Hao Ren raised his head: "What are you shouting?"
”The monk thought for a moment: "There is the name of Lokmaden, there is the Abyss of Oblivion, and it repeatedly mentions the words of doors and seals......
By the way, it also mentions the Endless War, a long battle on the plains......
However, this battle is not mentioned in any of Kolo's history books. ”"That's all?"
The monk spread his hands: "That's all."
By the way, it uses not only lingua franca, but also several ancient languages that are almost lost, and we can only barely understand some of them. ”"Endless Battle......
Door and Lokmaddon......"
Hao Ren bent down, checking the condition of the cloud of smoke and flesh, "The latter easily understood, it sounded like it was talking about 'prison', but the former didn't know what it meant. ”As he spoke, he cautiously reached out and touched the monster's soft, disgusting entity through the thick black smoke.The place where his right hand had been burned by the blood of the goddess was faintly hot, and some dark red marks were slightly revealed, and the smoke around the monster seemed to be avoiding this "holy stigma", and immediately parted to both sides.Hao Ren noticed this detail, his heart moved, and he leaned his hand over without hesitation.At the same time as the cold touch came, a series of hallucinations that scrolled rapidly like slides suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.He saw a magnificent temple of light erected, and twenty-one guardians in the shape of giants stood in front of a mountain of light, vowing to take an oath.Cast from sacred rock and steel, these guardians are as unshakable as mountains.He saw that these guardians were ordered to guard an eternal prisoner, and from the thoughts that came from the spirit world, he knew that this prisoner was more ancient than he could have imagined, even older than the eldest son and guardian giant.He saw the Guardians cultivating life on the earth, using the order of life to suppress and influence the chaotic forces of evil.He saw the fall of the goddess, which led to all this falling short, evil fighting back, and order declining.Countless images flickered, many memory fragments were as indistinct as floating shadows, as if some kind of force had forcibly erased and weakened these memories, Hao Ren could only see the end of these memories—a desolate world shrouded in twilight forever, the earth dried up and cracked, the sky burned hot, huge shadows floated behind the clouds, countless earth-like tentacles and strange limbs swept between heaven and earth, and the ancient evil forces roamed in their own cages, and in the calm brewed the wrath that could devour the entire world.On the shadow-shrouded earth, countless monsters were running rampant in all directions, impacting a huge pillar that supported heaven and earth, this giant pillar was bright and bright, as if it was made of a mirror of sterling silver, but what was reflected in the mirror was not the dry earth and burning sky around the giant pillar, but another world full of life.At the foot of the pillar, the blood of various monsters, severed limbs, and ash were piled up, and countless strange and twisted creatures were fighting in chaos, as if they were caught in an eternal rage.These monsters seem to be two camps, fighting for control of the giant pillar, but they may simply be controlled by killing, blindly killing all creatures around them under the will of Lokmardon.In the next instant, all illusions vanished.Hao Ren felt that a long time had passed, but when he looked around, he found that everyone was still in the same position as before, and he knew that the illusion just now only took a moment.Lily was the first to come up, the husky girl was very familiar with Hao Ren's abilities, so as soon as she saw Hao Ren lose her mind instantly, she knew what was going on: "Landlord landlord!"
What do you see?
”Hao Ren waved his hand to signal Lily not to make trouble, then bent down, stared at the smoky lump of meat, and asked slowly and clearly, "I know you can hear my voice now—who are you?"
”In the previous spiritual connection, he had established a brief and mysterious connection with the "monster", and under this subtle connection, the monster finally regained its clarity again, the speed of the evaporation of smoke and dust slowed down slightly, and an extremely hoarse, deep voice came out from the flesh: "I used to be called ......
Valenhill, Valenhill?
Saint?
Tenier?
Benedict, I am ......"
The speed of the smoke and dust evaporated abruptly, and a sharp cry came from the mass of flesh, which shouted hysterically before it completely dissipated: "Prison!
The entrance to the prison is at the top of Asuman!!
At the top of the Asuman ......
"all the sounds were gone, and the monster was no longer visible in the cage, only a small pinch of black smoke and dust was blown away by the wind."
In the unspeakable silence, Hao Ren broke the silence: "Who knows the name?"
”"Valenhill?
Saint?
Tenier?
Benedict," Carasius' sleepwalking voice came from the side, "Benedict III, the canon-bearer, the wise and the just, the first pope......
One. ”Everyone was stunned, and the general reaction of the crowd was "You're kidding me", and Lily's Monster Guards were the calmest - they couldn't understand what Carasius was saying, and they wondered if the humans were starting to be blind again."
It says it's the Pope?"
Lily's ears twitched, and Rao Yixueba's brain hole was also a little unable to keep up with the rhythm of the plot at this time, "By the way, is your Benedict III Pope dead?"
”"Nearly two thousand years ago," said Carasius, distractedly, "as one of the greatest popes of all time, his posthumous sacrament was laid to rest in the cryptery of the Icon Palace, in the company of all the ancient sages, and eternally illuminated by the glory of the goddess." ”"That is, the Emperor," Lily suddenly felt that she had found a colleague, "I am also the Emperor!"
”"Don't listen to her trouble, she's not logical," Hao Ren slapped the husky aside with his hand, and then looked at Carasius, "This 'monster' words......
How credible do you think?
”Carasius spread his hands: "Personally, I don't believe in a single thing, but ......"
"It's too bizarre, it's suspicious, isn't it," Hao Ren nodded, "And most importantly, there's no need for a 'monster' to lie to us like this, I've never heard of a Chaos monster having such a bad taste." ”Carasius was silent, and at that moment there was an exclamation from the window of the cathedral, and several low-ranking priests who were observing the situation outside near the window screamed in horror: "There is something in the sky!
”A palpitation spread from the bottom of his heart almost at the same time, Hao Ren rushed to the window almost in two steps, and then pushed open the glass window that was particularly obtrusive because of its narrowness and complicated lines.He looked up at the sky.The sky was overcast, and the twilight light diffused from behind the clouds, and in the interweaving of light and shadow, an incomparably huge and indescribable thing was slowly moving behind the clouds.This thing hung down countless thick tentacles and strangely shaped limbs, like a tornado column hanging from the clouds, these limbs fluttered and curled between heaven and earth, like licking and eating the earth, a terrifying and malicious scene that made the scalp tingle!
Even the most devout and staunch Church warriors could not withstand the oppression of the moment, and the lower assistant priests retreated with pale faces, the better priests could recite prayers tremblingly to increase their courage, and the weaker ones were already showing signs of fainting, as if the mere sight of the tentacles and shadows was enough to deprive mortals of their minds.The sub-races trembled under the pressure, the wolves roared with fear and rage, the trolls retreated with their heads in their hands, and the bears showed signs of madness—and it wasn't until Lily suddenly howled loudly that they finally came to their senses.Hao Ren stood at the window like a statue, unflinching or unwavering, facing the shadows of the clouds with his demigod body, resisting all malice and spiritual erosion.He knew what it was.Lockmarton.
