Chapter 724: The Dark Lord's Turmoil·Blood of the Dead in Gray Harbor (End)
After confirming that the named person's soul was gone, Xia Xiu raised the wand in his hand and waved it at the blazing forest fire.
Accompanied by a huge [∞] symbol, the powerful wind extinguished the surrounding fires in an instant.
After doing this, he looked back at Derek Hollins in front of him, the black-robed operator who had been possessed by the Son of Spread.
Derek's right cheek has returned to normal, and although his life force is almost exhausted, he is fully conscious.
He opened his eyes with difficulty and saw the blond young man squatting in front of him, with uncontrollable excitement and gratitude on his face.
"Director..." Derek shouted weakly, with a tremor in his voice.
The pain was tearing at his body, but compared to the inescapable darkness possessing him, being able to see Xia Xiu by his side gave him a sense of comfort.
Xia Xiu's face was soft, with compassion and silent pain in his eyes.
He gently raised his wand. Wearing the [Crown of Thorns] on his head, he had the most powerful blessings of the spiritual and energy systems. At this moment, he pointed at Derek's chest and released three powerful thaumaturgy in succession.
[Lever of the Sky-Fantasy Particle Transfer——]
[Lever of the Sky-Damage Lever——]
[Out of Control World-Death Tolerance——]
These The glimmer of light fell on Derek's wounds like a drizzle, easing his physical decay. The lever pried away the severe pain in his body, and the [Out of Control World] prolonged his death.
However, Xia Xiu knew that even if he could make Derek no longer suffer, the operator's life still could not be saved.
He has been corrupted by the Named Ones for too long, and his spirituality has withered.
Xia Xiu could not stop Derek's life from gradually disappearing.
As the fourth sword holder in the Kingdom of Heaven, facing the decline of his subordinates, at this moment, he can only make them walk more peacefully.
Derek looked at the director squatting next to him, his eyes full of gratitude and deep awe. He weakly raised his hand, trying to grab something.
Xia Xiu did not hesitate, stretched out his clean hand and held Derek's hand that was stained with mud and blood.
Derek finally couldn't control it at that moment, his tears fell silently, and along with weak sobs, he began to cry bitterly.
"Director...am I going to die..."
Then, without waiting for Xia Xiu to answer, he continued:
"I know this is cowardly, but , I'm afraid of death..."
Xia Xiu looked down at him, his golden eyes flashing with complex emotions, but more of them were filled with deep compassion.
He held Derek's hand tightly, his voice soft but firm.
"Crying is just a sign of sadness, giving up is a sign of cowardice - in the face of death, you made a desperate move and did not escape."
"So, you are not cowardly, Derek."
Derek's hand trembled slightly, and he held the director's hand tightly, as if he drew some kind of comfort from the angel's warm palm.
His pain has been healed by Xia Xiu. Although the shadow of death is approaching, he will reach the end in the most peaceful way.
Derek still couldn't help crying, and cried bitterly to Xia Xiu, like a child who found his parents, telling how his operator died in this operation.
"Director..." Derek's voice gradually became weaker, but the grief was still strong.
"Adrian Serbull...he was sucked...his soul...was taken away...you should have seen it...his body...became a withered body... Shell..."
He choked, tears welled up again, and his vision was blurred, but he still tried hard to recall those scenes that he could not let go of.
“Cassandra Wren...she...she wanted to cast a spell to save us, but her own curse backfired...I watched her body...explode from the inside, flesh and blood. Splashing..."
Derek's fingers twitched slightly, as some horrific scenes were replaying in his mind.
His breathing became rapid, and his voice was filled with suppressed fear and pain.
"Eugene Rex... Chief, you didn't see... His soul was torn apart... He couldn't even let out a cry of pain, and he died instantly... He The soul... Director... was like being torn into pieces... leaving no trace..."
His body was shaking involuntarily, and the fear and helplessness in his heart completely broke out at this moment.
His eyes were full of fear of death and endless pain of losing his companions.
"Cassandra, Oscar... they fell one after another... we... we just watched... but couldn't do anything... the curse backfired... the flames devoured... the souls were torn apart... Director... ...They...they are all dead, everyone...dead..."
Derek burst into tears, his desperate cries echoing in the empty forest.
Xia Xiu held his hand quietly, his golden eyes still gentle, but his heart was filled with heavy sadness and... murderous intent.
Derek's voice became smoother and smoother, as if he wanted to reveal all the unspoken secrets, and his eyes showed apology and pain.
"I'm sorry, Director... before he died, he said so many cowardly words... But I really want you to know and tell you... the wizards of the Hundred Layer World... they have betrayed their relationship with Treaty of Heaven.
They secretly studied the banned black magic and the so-called living gods... They were the ones who awakened Dai Guan Zhi, and his signees and followers are all in the Hundred Layers World..."
Speaking of which, Delhi Ke's eyes gradually dimmed, but his voice was firm.
Xia Xiu already had the answer in his heart. A deep coldness flashed through his eyes, and he spoke slowly:
“Even members of the Order of Merlin of the International Federation of Wizards are acquiescing to their actions. "
Derek nodded slightly and continued: "The evidence we found points to wizards from three different factions... red robes, purple robes and silver robes... At first, we targeted Caleb Wigner, a purple-robed wizard who lives at 36 Iris Street in the 12th Block. ”
Derek recalled, with a look of pain on his face:
“At first, we took advantage of the opportunity when he was out to catch him...control him...but we couldn't get anything of value from him. Later, Adrian discovered that he had an extremely ancient witchcraft - [Secret Keeping Curse]."
Xia Xiu naturally understood this. The characteristics of the spell, [Secret Keeping Curse] is one of the taboo spells in the wizarding world.
It can hide a secret deeply in the soul of the caster. Unless the keeper takes the initiative to reveal it, the secret cannot be forcibly obtained by any means.
This kind of spell can only be possessed by the most upright silver-robed wizards, and they are also from the silver-robed faction with the status of Laozheng Huangqi...
Xia Xiu frowned slightly, but said nothing, quietly waiting for Derek to continue.
"Despite this... we found another way to obtain information."
Derek continued, his voice getting weaker, "Eugene... he is a man infected with strange hoof disease." Or, his sense of smell is different from ordinary people, and he can identify the pheromones of certain people or objects that have been in contact with wizards through smell... His nose is more sensitive than that of a hound... Through his ability, we investigated Caleb Wei Genna came into contact with multiple locations and residences, and found a large amount of secretly exchanged black magic materials."
Derek's eyes began to lose focus, but his lips were still trembling slightly:
"Adam helped us hack into the local black market... We tracked him through fake names. Although the wizards all used fake names, the information about the robed faction could not be concealed... In this way, we confirmed that he and the other two The identities and factions of the wizards, their accomplices are the wizards belonging to the red robe and silver robe factions.”
Derek's team of operators was very smart. They were able to catch Caleb Wigner just by relying on some clues.
Derek’s team of operators acted quickly and extremely smart. With some scattered clues, they directly identified the traces of the purple-robed wizard Caleb Wigner.
However, even though they showed extremely high insight and action, they still encountered strong suppression from higher-level forces in the end. This is not only the biggest obstacle in their pursuit of the Crowned Breed, but also one of the fundamental reasons that led to the complete destruction of the Gray Harbor operator group.
Derek's narration became more and more subdued, and the next words made Xia Xiu feel even more solemn.
"Just when we found clues about Caleb, our senior operator Victor Keyes immediately decided to report it to the Secretariat..."
Derek said, his tone full of suppressed anger. And helpless:
"But, Adam was blocked. Our peripheral lineage was maliciously blocked, unable to connect, and the entire team was isolated."
Derek's voice suddenly became more serious He was depressed and his eyes were slack, as if he had fallen into that desperate moment again:
"Then, a red-robed wizard attacked one of our stations outside, and all the operators on the station... were wiped out. We When we arrived, the scene was in ruins, with only a huge red snake spitting fire, and the red-robed wizard... He used Parseltongue! "
"We immediately realized that the other party was a wizard from the Hundred Layer World, belonging to one of the ancient and sacred Auror families of the International Federation of Wizards."
"Things started to get out of control." Derek continued, with a hint of sound in his voice. There is a sense of powerlessness.
“What happened next became even more confusing.”
“The purple-robed wizard ran away. He was an Animagus and could change into other forms. He turned into a giant The beluga whales made a shrill cry."
"Then a group of beluga whales suddenly appeared at the port, and huge waves swept towards the temporary harbor station. Coming, the purple-robed wizard took advantage of the huge waves and ran away."
"All of their actions were carefully planned, and they were attacking in the east and west."
Derek paused, as if everything at that time was still vivid in his mind, with pain and regret:
"We The man chased him to No. 36 Iris Street, but he was a step too late. The other party had already escaped through a secret passage.
We found a contaminated diary in the hiding place, which contained information about the incident. Information about the named person, but we don’t have time to fully contain and process it.
Adrian made a prompt decision and used his soul divination to divine the whereabouts of the other party - the mist forest."
Derek's eyes began to look hollow, and his voice became weaker and weaker:
"Captain...he immediately led everyone to the misty forest to chase the purple-robed wizard..."
Xia Xiu listened silently, already understanding the next result in his heart. He knew that this pursuit would only lead to a hopeless disaster in the end, and the driving force behind this disaster was Dai Guanzhi and the group of robed wizards behind it.
"Parseltongue, red-robed wizard, red snake, Auror family..."
He silently recited these keywords in his heart. As his thoughts were sorted out, he quickly understood Come to a conclusion.
"The Hundred-layer World NO.13: The Ring of Naga."
The Ring of Naga, located on the 13th plane in the Hundred-layer World, is famous for its unique snake culture and powerful snake magic. famous.
Xia Xiu recalled the information about this plane. In the field of magical creature research, the Naga Ring has a very high prestige.
Not only does it have a long history of magic, but its symbiotic environment of snake-like creatures gives it unparalleled specialness.
This plane is filled with all kinds of dangerous snake creatures and the worship of the snake god, who enjoys supreme status among wizards and magicians.
This plane is famous for its danger and power, and the Auror family is a powerful wizard family that rules the Ring of Nagas.
Especially the ancient magic they mastered - Parseltongue, which is a spiritual technique that can communicate with the minds of snake creatures.
Wizards with this ability can not only communicate with snakes, but also command them to execute extremely complex instructions.
Xia Xiu remembered that there was a skill entry in his skill warehouse that had been placed by him for a long time - [Eye of Heavenly Lock·Powerful Stiffness].
Because it could not keep up with the strength of the version, it was put into the skill warehouse early and ate dust.
This skill requires the rare [Skylock Serpent] organs, and most of these organs circulating in Terra's market are from the Auror family of the Naga Ring. They raise and control these extremely rare snakes. Magical snakes.
"The Ring of Nagas..." Xia Xiu muttered to himself, his eyes cold.
He already knew where he would choose to challenge the wizard for the Order of Merlin First Class.
Originally, the goal of the challenge was just to differentiate between superior and inferior, but now it may also be a matter of life and death.
"Director...I'm a little sleepy..."
Derek Hollins' eyelids gradually drooped, and heavy fatigue surged in like a tide, swallowing up his consciousness.
His fingers were originally holding Xia Xiu's hand tightly, like a child who had found support, but now, it became weak, and his palm slowly dropped, sticking to the soil with no strength.
Derek's breathing became shallow, his eyes began to become hollow, and the breath of life slowly dissipated.
At this moment, he heard the deep and soft voice of the fourth sword holder in the Kingdom of Heaven, as if a loving father comforting his children:
“Our suffering is temporary and light. , to achieve incomparable and eternal glory for us
It turns out that we care not about what is seen, but about what is unseen; for what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. ”
The angel’s voice was like a warm breeze, gently blowing over Derek’s soul that was about to die.
The warm words seemed to bring him some comfort and relief, making him At the last moment of departure, he no longer felt afraid and lonely.
His breathing became steady, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, as if he had seen those long-gone companions in his dream.
In the summer. In a gentle tone, Derek Hollins, a loyal operator of Heaven, finally fell asleep peacefully in this silence.
Xia Xiu stood up and stared at Derek's quiet body with his golden eyes. There was no unnecessary emotion on his face, but his heart was extremely heavy.
He leaned over, gently placed Derek's hand on his chest, closed his eyes, and then began to bury the corpses of every operator on the battlefield.

Twenty-nine stone tablets were erected on the earth in the world by the fourth sword-bearer of the Kingdom of Heaven. Each tablet was engraved with the name of the person who fought for the Kingdom of Heaven to the end:
Adrian Serbull , Cassandra Wren, Eugene Rex, Oscar Finn...
The stone monument stands in this cut-out crack, and the surrounding scorched earth is still emitting residual heat, but Xia Xiu ignored all this and completed his final work silently.
Xia Xiu stood quietly in front of these stone monuments, scanning these silent tombstones, and then slowly raised the wand in his hand.
He said nothing, and his golden eyes looked particularly deep and calm at this moment.
He waved lightly into the void, and a subtle [∞] symbol appeared in the air, and ripple-like spatial fluctuations slowly spread in front of him.
The space seems to be distorted, and the vortex is gently rippling.
Xia Xiu lowered his head and took one last look at the stone tablet he had erected by himself. The hat sat firmly on his head, hiding his complicated expression.
Then, he stepped towards the twisted space, pressed his hat gently, and his figure gradually disappeared in the ripples.
He is going to the Hundred Level World to help those wizards in robes recall the church age...
The stereotype of heaven in their minds.
