The reverse side of the mainland.

The spires of the towering towers pointed straight to the dark and eternal night sky, and a scarlet waning moon hung in the sky from afar, like an unhealed scar.

A strong smell of blood spread in the magic city of Este.

All the creatures in the city tremble in this extraordinary dignified atmosphere, even the demons at the top of the food chain in the magic city. They are more cautious than usual, so as not to cause catastrophe due to negligence.

-The magic city is about to change.

This is the only consensus of all dark creatures.

For a whole number of epochs, the Melville family have been the top nobles among the higher demons. Each of their patriarchs has purple eyes and a strong affinity for the dark elements given by the dark god, and it is the highest ruler of the entire continent. Deep and powerful organization of wizards-their status has never been shaken in the slightest for tens of thousands of years.

Until now.

The current Melville Patriarch made terrible mistakes one after another.

The process of finding a way to break the seal can be traced back to tens of thousands of years ago. Several epochs of research and research have made the corpses buried deep under the mage’s tower deeper and deeper. In addition to conscious and voluntary victims, more are wasted and The slaughtered experimental product. For such a long time, only one human survived the terrible experiment, but was treated as a corpse by the mages of the Melville family-even though they argued that the experiment did not have vital signs at the time, this did not offset it. They made such a fatal mistake.

To make matters worse, this is just the beginning.

After the failed search with all the staff, they were even thrown back. Not only did they let go of the only key, but they also missed the once-in-a-millennium full moon.

They showed their weakness in front of the entire dark world.

This land without sunlight advocates strength, praises cruelty, and extols privilege. The only thing they can't tolerate is weakness.

Although the Melville family still retains its former status for the time being, its prestige has already plummeted. The other Demon families who have been under their feet for thousands of years are ready to move, plotting a rebellion or riot, and grabbing the long-coveted one. Status and power-if they can't recover their losses in a short period of time, what awaits them is the elimination and annexation of other high-level demon clan families.

This is the most heavily guarded Mage Tower in a thousand years.

Countless high-level demons and subordinate demons loyal to the family patrolled closely around the tower, casting complex magic circles and guardian spells to protect the entire stone tower from the wind, and it seemed that there was a certain kind of instant tension that was heavily pressed everywhere. Atmosphere

In the tall spire of the Mage Tower, the thin, dim, **** moonlight could hardly pass through the narrow windows, and the room filled with alchemy equipment and old parchment was shrouded in darkness, and only the scattered spell stones on the table shone with subtle light.

Melville paced anxiously in the room.

The demon's mage knelt in front of him, whispering something.

But before he could finish, he was interrupted by Melville solemnly: "Do you know what your proposal represents?"

The mage choked, his voice suddenly doubled and weakened, and he whispered: "Yes...but, my lord, only the attraction between the sacred colony and the sacred colony is accurate..."

That's right, holy colony.

The Dark God’s Burial Ground is not only the Magic City of Este, but also the Melville family.

Thirty thousand years ago, the God of Light sealed the Godhead of the God of Darkness and all the followers of Darkness on the opposite side of the mainland.

As the demons most sensitive to the dark elements, the ancestors of the Melville family are among all the followers of the dark gods, the most accomplished in magic.

They knew very well from the beginning that the seal was constructed from the bones of the Dark God, so nature must also be broken by the bones of the Dark God—but during these thirty thousand years, the Melville family must be tight-lipped.

After all, experimenting with the corpse of a **** is the most terrifying taboo even in Calvary.

The demons outside the Mage Tower only know that they are conducting experiments, but they don't know the specific content of the experiment.

Once this matter is leaked, what awaits them may be more terrifying than death.

Melville gritted his teeth and asked, "...Are you sure there is no other way?"

The mage remained silent, but lowered his head.

In fact, Melville didn't understand.

Thousands of years of experiments and attempts by their entire family have all ended in failure-the human being is the only variable, but he escaped from them before they continued to study in depth.

The only thing they can borrow from is the instinctive attraction between the sacred skeleton and the sacred skeleton.

-What exists in the human body is a corpse belonging to the Dark God. And the only way to find him is to have another bone of God.

The sacred skeleton has no effect on the opposite side of the mainland, because this place itself is the place where the buried bones of the dark god, no matter how many bones, will always point to the magic city of Este.

But going to the front of the mainland is different.

Melville took a slow and deep breath, turned around, and opened his arms to hold the tabletop.

After a long period of thought, he finally spoke:

"Contact our followers on the ground..."

—In fact, after such a long time, the seal has begun to loosen up. Although it can prevent the dark creatures from leaving the abyss, it cannot prevent the escape of the dark elements. And then they come to the front of the mainland, naturally, there is also the temptation of the demons. .

Although the dark **** is dead.

But the dark side of the human heart will last forever.

Although they could not gain freedom, their positive erosion of the mainland has never stopped, and there are more and more dark followers hidden under the light.

Melville seemed to have finally made up his mind at this moment, and finished the remaining half sentence:

"—Send the sacred skeleton up."

·

Compared to the skinny almost out of phase appearance in the last punishment world, Ge Xiu's appearance in this world is obviously much more pleasing.

Especially the zigzag lines from the brow bone to the tip of the nose are almost very close to his real appearance, but it is far less aggressive, and not so beautiful to the extent that it feels dangerous and oppressive-on the contrary, his current picture The contours of his face were extremely soft, his cheeks were pale and thin due to injuries, the mandibles were thin and sharp, and paired with those bright and deep black eyes, he was completely a poor young man who was tortured by dark spells and almost died.

Ge Xiu relied on the fragile and delicate face of this artwork, and the unpretentious innocence, and gained the love of almost everyone at the fastest speed.

The female members of the team are very affectionate and affectionate to him, and they can't wait to give him all the candies. Even Dreiter, who is serious by nature, will subconsciously soften his tone when they see him.

Only the paladin Ed was always very vigilant towards him.

He even looked for opportunities to chat with Dreiter several times in private during the journey, each time he was persuading the other party to raise their guard and not to be fooled by the appearance of the person in front of him-after all, those powerful mages who surrendered to the darkness, Both have the strange charm of a magnet.

The two broke up unhappily again.

Ed was holding the white holy sword and walked toward the front of the team with a gloomy look, and Dreiter also looked unhappy and worried. He waved his hand to remove the noise barrier beside him, and cast a short stroke at Ge Xiu who was walking behind the team.

Ge Xiu slowly draped around the back of the team, took out a candy from his bulging pocket, stuffed it into his mouth, and then squinted his eyes happily.

Under his long eyelashes, the blue sky reflected in his eyes, like a clear lake locked in the depths of his pupils, glowing with sweet waves.

He smiled brilliantly at Dreiter, his raised mouth seemed to be filled with honey, and his expression was innocent, like an ordinary teenager who knew nothing about the surging dark tide.

Only except-the noise barriers arranged by the mage are almost useless to him.

Ge Xiu is very clear about the focus of the dispute between the two men. It is very easy to dispel doubts as long as he wants to—but he has no intention of solving this contradiction by hand.

—That would be too boring, isn't it.

Ge Xiu jumped over the tree stumps lying on the ground, yawned, and rubbed the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Since coming to the front of the mainland, he has started to get sleepy very often, his physical strength has rapidly declined from his previous peak state, and he has become more and more fatigued.

He wasn't sure because of it.

Although Ge Xiu could see the light elements around him as well as the dark elements, he could clearly feel that the light elements had a very cold attitude towards him, and he guessed that he had a higher affinity for the dark elements. , So the decline in his physical state is probably due to leaving the familiar elemental environment.

This change is not without its benefits. After leaving the back of the continent, although the painful torture of twelve o'clock every night still arrives on time, it is far from being as severe and terrifying as it was at Calvary. This kind of pain can be tolerated. Compared to the previous level, it's almost like tickling.

However, in addition to this speculation, there is another possibility.

—After all, he also experienced a similar experience in the last punishment world.

This means that his vitality is gradually withdrawing from his body, and the moment of leaving begins to approach quietly.

At this moment, suddenly, an exclamation in the distance pulled Ge Xiu out of his thoughts.

"careful!"

Ge Xiu raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound.

He is not tall, and the team members standing in front of him almost obscured his vision, completely unable to see what was happening in the forefront of the team.

But Ge Xiu's vision is different from ordinary people.

He fixed his gaze in the void above everyone's heads, and raised his eyebrows lightly.

After coming to the front of the mainland for so long, he has always surrounded him with a strong element of light, like soft and shiny light, occupying every inch of the air, but in the distant air, it seems like light. Thick ink dripped into the sea, and a cold and gloomy cloud spread over people's heads.

Ge Xiu almost instantly recognized the familiar face on the back of this continent that accompanied him day and night.

Dark element.

There was a noisy noise again from the crowd in front, followed by the metal rubbing sound of the sword's blade out of the sheath, the crisp sound of the golden iron tool was very penetrating, and it almost instantly cut the walls between the people. Buzzing whispers.

Dreiter's low voice chanting purification spells sounded.

Suddenly the light in front of him was radiant.

At this moment, a slender girl squeezed out of the team. It was the girl who found Ge Xiu by the lake. Her eyes were shining, she reached out and took Ge Xiu's hand:

"Quick! The teacher is releasing the purification spell in front! This is the first time I have actually seen the dark element. Come! Otherwise, I won't see it after the teacher's chant is over!"

Emily hurriedly wanted to turn her head and walk back, but she tugged, but didn't tugged.

"Eh?"

She frowned and looked behind her with some doubts.

However, he saw the slender young man standing still on the spot, frowning, staring thoughtfully into the air not far away, as if he was looking at something.

His pupils are pitch black, like an abyss that cannot be illuminated by light. The kind of thought and gaze that do not carry any human emotion makes the whole body cold involuntarily.

Although it was still a familiar face from that chapter, Emily felt extremely strange and uneasy inexplicably.

She subconsciously turned and looked in the direction of Ge Xiu's line of sight-but she saw nothing.

The clear sky was dyed red by the bright sunset, like a huge paved scroll, without a trace of haze.

Emily shrank her shoulders, looked at Ge Xiu again, and asked in a low voice, "What are you looking at?"

Before she could finish her words, she felt that the young boy's slender finger bones suddenly tightened and yanked herself in his direction.

Emily screamed in pain, she was caught off guard and staggered. Before she could react, she stumbled in the direction of Ge Xiu, and her ankle was sore as a sprain, almost out of control. Fell to the side.

"what are you doing?!"

Emily was shocked and angry, but before she had time to get angry, she only heard a toothy "chuckle" from behind, as if it sounded like it was pressing behind her ears, making her stunned behind her back. A layer of cold sweat broke out, and he hurriedly turned his head to look behind him.

I saw where she was just standing, the soil did not know when it had already opened up, white skeletons burrowed out from the ground, the bones rubbed and made a harsh "cuckling" sound, and the dark blue eyes were burning in the dark eyes. Soulfire, it looks gloomy and terrifying—the team in front of them heard one after another of screams, and it was obvious that the same problem appeared in the front. Several of them had been caught by their ankles and were pulled into the mud one after another. .

At this moment, Ed's incredible exclamation came from the front:

"...Necromancer!"

The chant of light in front suddenly intensified, and the bright white light seemed to contain powerful power. It instantly enveloped the team in the warm light, and the skeletons made more and more piercing chuckles, and it seemed that the hard bones were in the light element. It corroded and melted during the purification, and it quickly flowed down like silt, but beyond the barrier of the light spell, more skeletons crawled out from below the ground, and the pale, thick finger bones were glowing with a gloomy cold light, a decay The cold breath instantly surrounded everyone.

Others finally reacted one after another, and more chants joined in, and the light suddenly flourished.

But while the barrier was solidified, clouds gradually spread over the head, spreading and spreading at an extremely abnormal speed, covering the sky and the sunset in an instant, and then, a throne made of countless bones was in the air. Slowly appearing, a scrawny man with a hood sitting on it, the skinny joints on the white bones glowing with unhealthy bleak green, and his body is entwined with a frightening breath of death.

Emily took a deep breath of depression, her pupils contracted slightly, and she turned her head in disbelief to look at Ge Xiu who was standing not far away.

-The position where the bone seat appeared, happened to be the direction he was staring at just now.

Did he find the trace of the Necromancer before everyone else?

impossible!

When he was still in a coma, Mr. Dreiter once tested him with magic talent and elemental affinity, which was even slightly lower than the normal level of ordinary people. How could he be aware of the undead before the academy tutor and the Holy See knight? The trail of...?

This... this is totally illogical.

Difficult, could it be that I made a mistake just now?

Emily had no idea, subconsciously raised her hand and gently stroked her red wrist.

Ed, standing at the forefront of the team, also felt unbelievable—this was just a bronze-level purification task. How could it be possible to encounter a necromancer? Even a paladin directly under the Holy See cannot solve a task of this level alone. What's more, this necromancer is obviously capable of summoning dark products in front of the continent where the light element dominates, even if it is just a skeleton made of alchemy. It's incredible enough.

This only shows... he is very powerful.

Ed gripped the hilt tightly as if he was facing an enemy.

At this moment, the necromancer spoke, the only chin that could be seen under his hood was pale and shrunken, but his voice was extremely low and magnetic, as sweet and mellow as a good wine, when he heard:

"Unexpectedly, the running dogs of the Holy See and the trash of the Academy could find me. It seems that I underestimated you."

Ed's eyes widened suddenly, his teeth clenched tightly, and his masseter muscles were almost painful-he recognized the sound.

He finally remembered who this was before him now.

Three months ago, the Necromancer who severely injured the White Knights Expedition of the Holy See and retreated all over his body. He was the first dark follower to appear in front of the Holy See of Light, just like the first domino toppled down. After him, more necromancers appeared one after another throughout the continent.

This Necromancer is extremely dangerous, and now they even... still carry a few academy apprentices who have not yet cultivated a sense of combat.

Dreiter leaned his staff slightly forward and made a defensive posture in a vague manner. He raised his voice and said calmly:

"I'm very sorry to disturb you, we are just passing by, and we are leaving now."

The Necromancer seemed to be thinking about something seriously. After a long time, he said: "If this is the case, then I am not an unreasonable person."

His voice is friendly and intimate, like a close teacher or friend, but no one dares to take it lightly. The pale blue knuckles point to the skull inlaid on the seat, and a thin blue snake emerges from the skull’s dark eye sockets and wraps around his wrist with a regular tapping sound. Ren Ren's heart was almost completely raised, and he kindly added the second half of the sentence: "...choose four people to stay, and you can leave the rest."

"…what?!"

-Even with the Ge Xiu picked up halfway, their entire team is only ten people.

Ed's eyes widened, staring at the necromancer in front of him in disbelief.

"My seat needs new bones." The necromancer touched the thin little snake affectionately, as if rubbing his lover's cheek: "It's rare for me to be kind enough today. I can make some compromises for you-you can do it yourself Choose who to go and who to stay."

The atmosphere fell into a stalemate for a while.

"It's rare to be kind?" Dreiter's voice hardened: "You are just enjoying the fun of manipulating people's hearts."

His words seemed to be a promise that had already been agreed-in an instant, the sharp light of the staff in Dreiter's hand was radiant, and with a metal sound of "keng", the holy sword blessed by the blessing of light was out of its sheath. , The figure of the Templar knight was like a bolt of lightning that pierced the darkness, violently attacking forward with the wizard's attack spell!

The two seemed to have a tacit understanding for a long time, and their movements were perfect and swift.

As personnel with rich practical experience, they knew very early that the trick with necromancers is not to believe them, let alone to think that they can get any sympathetic charity—from the beginning to the present, they are just looking for one. The opportunity to take the initiative is nothing more.

At the same time, the voices of all the students chanting incantations suddenly increased, and the barrier surrounding them suddenly became more and more shining, almost dispelling the clouds covering their heads a little.

The Necromancer snorted coldly.

In the next second, the entire bone seat suddenly disappeared from the air, no matter it was a sword or a spell, it went into the air.

"I don't know what's good or bad." Only his gloomy voice, like the first rainstorm, came from all around:

"Since you are unwilling to accept my proposal, then I have to skin your beloved students one by one in front of you. There are some old parts on my seat that need to be replaced-rest assured, I am already very skilled. Their bones must be very white and beautiful under my treatment, just like the most perfect artwork."

Dreiter was taken aback and hurriedly turned around. The protective shield released by the staff almost instantly enveloped all the students.

However, that shadow was too fast.

Like a sharp weapon cruelly tearing through the light, the shadow engulfed in the force of terror hit instantly, and the barrier seemed to be eaten away by a large hole, and a large piece was suddenly missing.

The figure of the Necromancer slowly appeared above the back of the team.

The difference is that this time there is an extra person in his hand.

The atmosphere froze for a while, trapping everyone in place like a sticky solid.

The Necromancer smiled: "Why don't we start with this beautiful young man."

He lowered his head, his gaze fell on his victim this time, the trembling, panic and hysteria that he expected did not appear as he expected—

On the contrary, he met a pair of eyes that were looking at him.

The young man who was tightly held in his palm was so calm that he was beyond imagination. He calmly and curiously looked at the necromancer who was close at hand, and there was a strange look shining in the depths of the deep, abyss-like pupils. There seems to be some kind of instability factor trembling, tearing, and eagerly trying to break out of the cage, but the most difficult emotion to ignore... actually is interest.

It's like... he is amused by the current progress.
