Chapter 78 The last fire thief! Legacy of the Abyss! 【End】
Above the bell tower.
A ring of flames spread in all directions, Xiao En's figure rose into the air, and the moment it landed, the pyrotechnics swept across all directions, burning the swarms of insects flying in the sky, leaving only There were densely packed dead bodies of poisonous insects.
"Is it okay?"
Xiao En supported the shaky Benjamin, handed over the endless wine in his hand and said: "Drink it quickly."
This magical object has great healing power, but has additional contamination.
At this moment, Benjamin was very seriously injured. The swarms of poisonous insects summoned by the cultists were only the size of grains of rice. Except for the large-scale land-washing spells in the casting path, it was difficult for melee-type supers to kill them all. They were almost Pervasive, Benjamin's body was covered with horrifying traces of insect bites, and the poison had seeped into his body. If he hadn't been strengthened with flesh and blood, he would have died suddenly on the spot.
Benjamin reached out to take the silver wine flask and drank it down in one gulp, and said in a hoarse voice: "We can still fight."
The fighting situation in the villa area has been completely reversed.
As the offspring of the moth mother were killed, and the dancers and poets of the doomsday circus were killed one after another, the balance of the battle has tilted towards the night watchman. However, Xiao En's team also suffered heavy casualties. Gemma died in the clown's sneak attack, the Black Moon Order killed two high-level extraordinary beings, and the Trickster Assassin and Daisy were missing. Daisy escaped into the darkness. The wild druid had the ability to sneak. If she wanted to hide, it would be difficult for others to find her traces.
Bang!
Among the shattered window fragments, the figure of a dwarf illusionist flashed out, followed closely by a petite and exquisite shadow, as if it were a stalker jumping out of the darkness, in Daisy's eyes Full of primitive wild madness, along with a cold light passing through the air, something seemed to be triggered on the dwarf illusionist, and a sequenced spell directly teleported him dozens of meters away.
But Daisy was faster. Her figure was running on the vertical wall like a cheetah. At this moment, she seemed to have escaped into the shadows. Along with the flash of afterimage, Daisy's figure Appeared behind the dwarf illusionist.
Blood spurts out!
Daisy's sharp claws, which shone with cold light, directly took off the head of the dwarf illusionist.
As soon as the dwarf illusionist died, the darkness and shadows surrounding the battlefield dissipated a lot. When the moonlight fell in the sky, the clown's lonely figure also appeared in front of everyone. Previously, due to the darkness summoned by the illusionist, the clown was almost completely invisible and could sneak around at will, but now it was not that easy for him to hide.
The sound of fighting came from the rooftop opposite. The trickster assassin Zers flew out of the darkness. With a deadly cold light, a gray-robed cult priest's head was directly hanged by him. , green blood spurted out all over the wall, and under the falling moonlight, a ferocious head that was half human and half insect was revealed.
"Is it over so soon?"
The seriously injured and dying figure of the clown came out of the darkness. He glanced at the broken body of the dancer, and then turned to look at the body that had just been killed. The dwarf who unscrewed his head showed a hint of madness and regret in his expression, and said slowly: "Night Watch. You won."
"But this is just the beginning! Reality will break one day."< br>
The figure of the clown swooped up.
He targeted Xiao En. Along with the twisted shadows, he completely ignored the others. His whole body was melting, just like the original mistress, turning into an incorporeal The ferocious shadow.
A deep cold light pierced Xiao En, and the clown's dying counterattack seemed to want to take away the investigator in front of him.
Benjamin's figure instantly changed places with Xiao En, and he pulled Xiao En. At the moment when the two people were wrong, their shadows overlapped, and the clown's weird smile appeared in the shadow, and a stream of light flashed across it. Then, blood spattered, and Benjamin's right arm was cut off. He directly used his arm to block Xiao En's fatal blow. The next second, his left sword finger pointed at the clown's neck, and a similar scar appeared. Once Benjamin's injuries did not transfer, but the same wounds as his appeared on the Joker's body.
Ink-like blood spattered, the clown's neck was cut off by himself, and a ferocious head with a weird smile fell.
The clown didn't seem to die immediately. He murmured, looked behind Xiao En, and whispered: "I'm sorry, president. We failed."
President?
At this moment, everyone looked behind Xiao En in horror.
I don’t know when.
A middle-aged man who looked gentle and elegant suddenly appeared above the bell tower, and no one noticed his presence.
The dark festival of the Doomsday Circus successfully attracted the Moth Mother, which forced the demigods of the Weird Realm to join forces to deal with the Old One and prevent him from further coming to the real world.
Their plan has succeeded.
Although reality has not been completely torn apart, ordinary people already know the cruel truth of the world.
When the old days came, the demigods of the weird country were forced to fight, then naturally the person who was hunted by the demigods before was also freed again.
Eamonn, the president of the Gray Whispering Monastery, walked into the corpse-strewn battlefield with a smile and walked straight to Xiao En's side.
In full view.
He suddenly appeared in front of Xiao En, with a smile on his face and a gentle voice: "Hello."
"I am the Fire Thief Eamon, you can call me "I know" "Long."
Xiao En's figure froze in place.
He is not wearing the confusion at the moment, so he can see the other person's true face clearly. In front of Xiao En is an elegant middle-aged man who looks a bit familiar. Behind this middle-aged man, there is a reflection of a figure wearing a gorgeous black and red robe, with a pair of curved devil horns extending from his forehead. Behind him are a pair of wings with blood-red flames. This huge phantom holds a bright ruby scepter in his hand, and all ten fingers are wearing mysterious black rings. His dark eyes seem to be swallowing abyss, staring at the tiny Xiao En in front of him.
In an instant, Xiao En remembered who the middle-aged man in front of him was.
His neighbor, the elegant middle-aged man who lives opposite him.
Xiao En almost never had a formal conversation with him. He only remembered that there was a kind middle-aged man living opposite him.
It’s him!
When Xiao En first came to Dorne City, the middle-aged man already lived opposite him.
In the shadow of the bell tower.
Fire Thief Eamon looked up at the sky. He looked at the clown's lifeless head and said calmly: "You have done a good job."
One A powerful pressure enveloped the battlefield, more terrifying than the legendary dragon power, making everyone tremble.
Then, he stretched out his hand, and for a moment, as if ignoring the laws of space, he pierced Xiao En's chest and pulled out a heart that was still beating slightly.
Xiao En's consciousness is gradually losing consciousness.
"Why is the death retrospective not triggered?"
This was his last thought before he became unconscious, and then boundless darkness enveloped him.
"No!" Benjamin was stunned. He wanted to take action, but the difference in strength between the two was so great that he couldn't even lift a finger.
Benjamin could only freeze in place and tremble helplessly, his eyes fixed on Eamon in front of him, but the other party just glanced at him casually, and Benjamin's figure instantly knelt on the ground, without any trace of emotion at all. The power of resistance, his body, and his will no longer belong to him.
"Benjamin Tilian." Eamon smiled and crushed Xiao En's heart in front of him.
The terrifying fire thief leaned over and whispered: "Look, you once again failed to protect your companions."
"You have no power. You are nothing!"
Fire Thief-Eamon crushed Xiao En's broken body in front of Benjamin like a bubble, and the ground was covered with exploding blood and flesh. Then he stood on the top of the bell tower, looking down at the others present like a demon king, and applauded: "Very good."
"What a wonderful performance! Night Watchmen, you have guarded the scene again The real world."
The crazy fire thief turned and left with a smile. Before he disappeared, he looked in the direction of the temple area.
"Madam. I won this round."
………………
In the gray fog.
Xiao En opened his eyes again. He felt severe pain in his body, as if someone had taken out his heart alive.
No!
This is all true.
He really had his heart ripped out, and he still remembers what happened before.
Xiao En sat up instantly. He looked at his chest and saw a terrifying scar on his chest. The wound was almost healed, but he couldn't feel his heartbeat. When he was about to When I put my hand on my heart, there was nothing there.
"You're awake." A gentle voice came.
Xiao En looked up at a young man with an elegant and handsome face. Although his appearance had changed, Xiao En still recognized him at a glance.
Fire Thief - Eamon!
The confusion was placed next to him, and the luxurious bed where Xiao En was lying was covered with dried blood.
Why didn't I die?
Xiao En's expression was a little unbelievable. His heart was dug out, but he was not dead.
Not far away, Eamon walked to the gray stone balcony. He poured himself a glass of wine that looked like blood, and said calmly: "Of course you won't die. Because from the beginning, you were not really "
Eamon gently raised his finger and pointed it farther towards Xiao En's chest.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Xiao En heard his heartbeat, but it was not at the heart, but in the center of his chest, where a cystic organ like a heart was beating.
"Immortal cyst."
Eamon raised his glass and drank it down, smiling: "You probably forgot. Let me help you recall it."
"You were not truly resurrected. You were a living dead from the beginning."
Xiao En put his hand in the center of his chest.
He felt the beating sound, and his thoughts seemed to go back to the time when he had just been resurrected. In his fragmented memory fragments, it seemed that the doll-like girl was there when he was just resurrected. I mentioned this term.
Xiao En murmured: "What's going on?"
Eamon stood up and looked at the gray fog in the distance, and said calmly: "A masterpiece of the demigod lich. "Necromancer" "The power of the book"
"Your body has been implanted with the immortal power of the rot sac mother body."
"So you have no fear in the beginning."
"Because you are not a real living person at all. !”
Why is this?
Xiao En's thoughts seemed to have been impacted. His expression was a little painful, as if his thinking was confused, and knowledge was whispering, and they were extremely manic.
He looked up at Eamon in front of him and said in a hoarse voice: "You mean they deceived me?"
Eamon turned his head and said calmly: "It's not all deception."
< br>"The Butcher did secretly do a lot for you, and even killed one of my right-hand men." "But you are an important chess piece in the hands of the demigods, and there are some things that he can't do anything about."
< br>
"Originally, according to my script, after you left the high wall, my subordinates would find a way to take you away directly. But unfortunately, they killed all the lurking Whisperers."
"They had no intention of letting you live from the beginning, because after being implanted in the mother body of the rot sac, you have only one final path to advancement, and that is to become one of them, a new demigod lich."
Eamon was more patient than anyone Xiao En had ever encountered before, and even his words seemed extremely sincere. He whispered: "The Butcher wants you to have more humanity before you are promoted to a lich. That's why he tried his best to send you to the real world."
"To experience everything about mortals."
"Ms. Hecate is the protector he chose for you. With Ms. Carter’s protection, you should have been transformed into an undead witch by now.”
“The Butcher is a qualified guide.”
Eamon applauded and praised: "He is different from us, he is a real good person. It's a pity that he is too weak."
Xiao En raised his head and stared at Eamon in front of him. His mind was very confused now. He couldn't tell the difference at all, and his knowledge was very arrogant. He said slowly: "What about you? Why did you catch me here?"
This is a magnificent palace with a high location. Towering into the clouds, one can see the gray mountains and land in the distance.
"I am different from them."
"I am a devil. I was a devil before entering the weird kingdom. A soul from another world." Eamon looked at the things in front of him calmly. Xiao En said: "As for why I brought you here, I just don't want the last foreigner to be raised by them."
"There are enough lichs in this world!"
"They have wasted your potential and have almost turned you into a weak waste!"
After that, Ai Meng bowed and saluted Xiao En in front of him, made a welcoming gesture, and said with a smile: "Xiao En. Welcome to Abyss City!"
Transformation!
Shawn's figure was directly teleported to the balcony by Eamon. Looking down from his position, in the gray mist, there was a towering spire, and directly below his sight was a magnificent tower. Magnificent majestic city.
Towering buildings were scattered at his feet, and a large number of pedestrians were shuttled among them. Xiao En's sight passed through the fog, and he saw groups of mercenaries, gray dwarves carrying heavy battle axes, and cold and lonely dark elves. , a half-demon with weird horns, short halflings and dwarfs shuttled among the crowd, there was a figure of a succubus maid dancing in the tavern, a rude and strong wild beastman was drinking heavily, and opposite it was a more... The burly and fierce ogres are guarded by giants as tall as mountains in the direction of the city gate. Above the towering city walls, you can see the ferocious figures of demons, demons, and demons patrolling.
There are not only humans here, but also all legendary non-human races, and even mythical creatures!
A terrifying hissing sound came.
In the rolling clouds and mist, ferocious subspecies of flying dragons came through the air. They looked like the flying dragon mounts of the Nazgul. Their spread, broken wings were more than ten meters wide. On their backs, On top of them are strange-looking and powerful half-dragon riders.
Everything he saw brought an extremely huge visual impact to Xiao En!
He murmured: "Is this a weird country?"
Eamon smiled and poured a glass of blood wine for Xiao En, handed it to him, and whispered: "Yes. A weird country. This is not reality. world. But this is the real reality.”
“They told you that only the Twelve Realms of Clockwork Nirvana are the refuge of mankind.”
“Indeed. >
“Although there is a miracle of mankind and a miracle of destiny, there are still many people who have not given up on reality in places beyond that. Strictly speaking, it is just a refuge for ordinary people.”
"This is Abyss City."
"One of the territories of the seven ancient Witch Kings. My other identity is the city lord of Abyss City."
Eamon waved his hand to disperse the gray fog. .
At the end of Xiao En's sight, he saw a vast plain where a large amount of farmland had been reclaimed and many crops that he did not know were planted. However, the people working in the fields were not ordinary people. not farmers, but skeletons and skeletons, they are as busy as farmers on the vast plains.
Farther away is a livestock farm, where the animals are not kept in captivity, but all kinds of ferocious and brutal beasts. They exude an aura of corruption, are fierce, violent, and extremely aggressive.
There are quite a few necromancers here.
No!
There are even many druids here, the corrupted Blighters, who sow seeds in a land filled with death and corruption.
Here life and death are intertwined.
Elves, dwarves, gnomes, halflings, lizardmen, dragonborn, half-dragons, orcs, giants, ogres, demons, devils, monsters, etc., in the abyss city at your feet, Xiao En I saw almost all the legendary races recorded in the secret files.
But there are no ordinary people here!
All the residents of Abyss City, including humans, are all extraordinary beings. Even the maids in the tavern, the waiters on the roadside, and the apprentices in the blacksmith shop, Xiao En did not see any trace of ordinary people. .
This city only belongs to the extraordinary.
They are rooted in the weird country and live under the scrutiny of many past.
"Abyss, the origin of demons!..." Xiao En murmured.
Eamon smiled and said: "Yes. The abyss is the origin of demons."
"We are not human beings."
"We don't need to escape reality. Although the Weird Kingdom is crazy, it is better than The bottomless abyss is worse, but for us, survival of the fittest is the right choice."
"Shaun."
"The real world is beautiful, but it is not suitable for you. ”
"They worked hard to create the [Soul Echo] ritual to integrate the souls from other worlds into this world, but in fact there are many people like you who only inherited the memories of the aboriginal people and did not inherit their emotions. "
" Right? "
"Everything about Sean is just a broken memory to you. You don't even remember that the young man still has his parents and relatives alive. You I rarely even think about them."
"The echoes of the souls that those people put so much effort into are just self-comfort."
"We don't belong here in the first place."
"We are all prisoners trapped in a weird country. What we want is not to integrate into the aborigines. What we want is to tear apart the gray fog and end the madness here, or to escape from this old starry sky."
Xiao En took a deep breath, looked at Eamon in front of him, and said in a hoarse voice: "Then why do you want to destroy everything in the real world?"
"Do you know how many people will die? ?”
Disaster in the city of Dorne.
Maybe all this is really a game between demigods, but in the city of Dorne, those who fight to protect reality until the last moment of their lives, those investigators, those night watchmen, those who never regret until death The light-chasers who are fighting to the death, as well as the innocent ordinary people who suffer...
What about them?
Is their existence worthless? Are they just worthy of being casually sacrificed pawns of demigods?
They also work hard to live! Fighting as hard as ever!
Eamon seemed to have read Xiao En's thoughts. He looked into the distance calmly and said softly: "This is a weird country. This is a world where there is no room for mercy."
"Half The game between gods is more cruel than you imagine!”
"The gifts left by the unknown people are being exhausted. Everything that seems beautiful now is just the last legacy they left to the world."
"They have passed away for a long time."
“The real world has also changed.”
“You have only been to Dorne, which is well protected by the Night’s Watch. You have never been to other places. You don’t know the real world. What has become of other places?"
"You are right, everyone is a pawn in the demigod's game, a sacrificial bargaining chip."
"You want to change all this? You can! When you are promoted to demigod one day, you will be qualified to make decisions for others!"
"Now. You first learn to live here!"< br>
Eamonn smiled.
At this moment, he seemed to be a real devil, tearing apart the gentle and elegant disguise. He showed a cruel smile and said slowly: "If I want to force them to give in, someone must sacrifice. "
"No matter how many people die, this is the price that must be paid!"
"The demons who emerge from the abyss [bloody battle] are the real strong men."
"The humans raised here have no chance of winning against the old days! The Night Watchmen are just courage but no strength. Weak people!"
"In the weird country, all living beings are the pawns of the demigods."
"We must get all the chips before we fight against the past!"
“This is the fate of mankind.”
"It is also the fate of all aboriginals, alien spirits and foreigners trapped in the strange country."
………………
Dorne City.
In the drizzle, Benjamin's bandaged figure appeared. His expression was solemn and sad. Next to him were the night watchmen and investigators who survived the war. Daisy's eyes were red and she said a word He followed Benjamin silently, holding a black coffin with both hands.
Benjamin and William carried the coffin. Amidst the prayers of the priest, in front of a tombstone with the name "Sean" engraved on it, many night watchmen stood silent in the rain.
Not far away.
A young mother hugged her young daughter and cried silently in front of the tombstone, where a tombstone also stood.
——"Hank Brende. The fearless light chaser."
The names of the victims are engraved on the tombstones, Qin, Gemma, Erlan , Rocky, Carol, Mallory...these are names that Xiao En may or may not recognize. They fought until the last moment in danger and finally rested here.
In early June 1001 of the Fourth Era, an evil blood sacrifice called the 'Dark Celebration' broke out in the city of Dorne. The reflection of the past reflected the reality, and fear and despair enveloped this once extremely prosperous city. city. In this extremely tragic battle, 327 night watchmen, investigators, and logistics personnel died in the line of duty, and more than 30,000 innocent ordinary people were killed.
The real world was torn apart in the cruelest scene.
