Chapter 1377 Angry Nightmare Bishop
After looking at the statue of Kane for a while, Clevix Kerathos responded, his voice without any warmth.
"The blade is half of me, just as I am half of the blade, so is fear. Our strength comes from the blade and the fury, not from fear. We thirst for blood, we kill, only death. Only then can we find the true meaning of life.”
Klevix began to pace again, even leaving his back to them, completely ignoring his followers.
Each nightmare shrine has its own unique culture. The culture of Cursed Night is very special. It may be to ensure that the superiors are always vigilant and self-strengthened. Therefore, in this shrine, warriors can If the bishop launches a surprise attack and the attack fails, as long as the challenger escapes from the shrine, the bishop can no longer pursue him or investigate him afterwards.
But Bishop Clewix didn't like this culture. In fact, he despised this trick. He won the position of bishop through head-on duels. Therefore, after he became a bishop, he often forced his subordinates to fight with him, or deliberately Expose a flaw to attract a sneak attack from the opponent.
So the eight people present knew that he was just torturing and teasing them.
As for the reason——
Now the Nightmare Bishop is very angry, so he summoned eight unlucky guys.
Not long ago he received news that the daughter he had with his lover, Candice of Silver Fang, was killed by several ape wizards!
What's even more disturbing is that after examination, the Xuelingren found that his daughter had lost the possibility of resurrection. Her soul had completely disappeared, and there was no residue left. This could only happen if she was killed by a demon. This is also the most tragic ending for the Eldar, with their souls completely devoured by the Lady of Thirst.
Although it is difficult to say that Clewix has any feelings for Candice, he once lived in the Silver Fang for a long time as a bodyguard of the Archon, and he also once was with Candice in the universe. After spending a long time of pleasant plundering, at least when the other party gave birth to the daughter, he still had a sense of accomplishment -
Being able to let a noble lady conceive and give birth to a child for him, for Comoros For most male Eldar, this is already a very impressive achievement. Although Clevix is now the Nightmare Bishop, his background is not even a true son. He used to be just a half-born son who did dirty work for others.
So he has always regarded his daughter as proud, not out of family affection, but as a kind of pride that belongs to a trophy, or a trophy.
Now, his trophy has been smashed, how can he not be angry!
To make matters worse, the headquarters temple issued an order not long ago, requiring all bishops not to leave their shrines during this period, and to strictly guard the areas where their shrines are located - mainly several connecting subspaces. Gate of Chaos.
Almost all the Chaos Gates in Commorragh are located in the Nightmare Shrine. The Nightmares are not only followers of Kane, but also gatekeepers who are always wary of Chaos invasion.
So even though Clevix heard the cry of his old lover, he was unable to take revenge at all, which made his heart almost swallowed up by anger.
If he held it in any longer, he thought he might go crazy.
“Fear must be used, and more importantly, master it!”
Clevex was now very close to his followers, perhaps only three steps away.
For Nightmare, three steps is a short distance, but not enough to launch a clean attack.
Because they knew very well that Clewix would not give them a second chance to attack.
"Facing fear with a blade is the real power!"
Clevix faced his followers again, his tone conveying his disappointment at their inaction.
"We must embrace fear and become one with it. Long ago our ancestors created a terror so profound that the entire galaxy trembled in fear, and those treacherous traitors, cowards, fled from this fear to hide in the world they created. In the world, our kin in the Dark City are also cowering, using the fear and pain of others to cover up their own fear and pain."
He stopped again, looking at the burning statue of Kane. Shadows were cast against it, and at one point the black outline was engulfed in flames and smoke, and seemed to transform into the image of a god of war.
"We will not run away from our fears, leaving those who have gone astray to seek to shackle the gifts Kane has given us! We will not run away from our fears, fear that we will become hateful and unquenchable Raging creatures, this is not what we fear, our worries are pointless, what we fear is living a life of unfulfillment, meaninglessness, a hasty death and being devoured by a great enemy, not before that in the galaxy! Leaving a mark of terror, this is failure, this is our fear.”
Clevix walked away from the statue, the curved Cleve broad-bladed knife still remaining in a leisurely position. . "None of you are worthy of this position! None of you dare to challenge me. Your fear of death overwhelms your anger, which makes you weak."
"Death by your blade is a failure and a waste."
A follower dared to speak out, but was rewarded with laughter like a night owl.
"Haha! However, if you want to succeed, if you want to become a bishop and gain your status and glory, you must dare to challenge! You cannot succeed without taking risks. Victory is the twin sister of failure, and death is "Father of Life."
Klevix shook his head and lowered his blade slightly. When he spoke again, everyone felt his fatigue through his voice, but everyone also knew it was the same. It's a trick, a show of pretending to be weak.
“Doesn’t anyone dare to stand up and face me? Can’t you feel this desire? Don’t you hate me enough?”
Empty questions, they all wanted to be bishops, they all felt the inner torment of this desire, which was the root of what Clewix said was the existential fear.
Of course they hate him, his rebuke, his insults, his sarcasm and disgust are enough to arouse hatred as blazing as the burning statue of Kane. The bishop's continued cynicism makes them feel continuous pain, but As those past challenger deaths have shown, Kane doesn't reward those who attack in blind rage.
The nightmares standing in the flames and smoke all had their own ideas, but everyone understood that Kane's heart was cold, and the Bloody Hand God required that killing must be cold and calculated.
"Accept the fear and make it your own, step into-"
Klewix was interrupted before he could finish his words.
An apprentice hurriedly walked in, but did not speak immediately, but glanced at the other nightmares.
His action made Clevix aware, so he waved away everyone, and then took the apprentice to a secluded corner. At this time, the other party said to Clevix in a low voice:
"Bishop, Mrs. Malus is here to visit."
"Huh? What is she doing here?"
Clevix made a confused sound, because Kan Because of Tisi, he was relatively familiar with the poisonous-tongued consul of the cabal, and the two sides had cooperated many times.
However, recently, because the situation is very sensitive and the Nightmare Shrine must remain neutral, he has not had any contact with the other party for some time.
"How did she get here?"
"Aboard a black high-class speedboat with the emblem of the Silver Fang Cabal."
Clevix Ruo He nodded thoughtfully, and then said to the apprentice:
"Please wait in the side compartment of the Blood Blade Palace and tell her that I will be there in a minute."
"Yes."
"Don't take the main road, go through the side door."
"Yes, Bishop."
