A thick black fog swept in from the distant sky. Under the black fog, the ground was a desolate land covered with human corpses. This kind of desolation was different from the ordinary barren land. It was more like the surface of the earth. Infected with the plague, a disgusting smell spreads in the air. Wherever the black mist reaches, all living things will quickly wither and then turn into piles of white bones, and these bones will be slowly devoured by the earth. A new plague-ridden land was formed,
Maia stood on a mountain peak and looked at everything in front of him blankly. For him, of course he knew that this was the most terrifying forbidden spell magic of the Undead Legion, the "Disaster of the Undead". This is a terrifying force that can grow on its own. , the black mist will turn everything into undead wherever it goes, and the plague on the earth is full of evil power that can make the undead stronger.
"Let's all die, let's all die." Maia murmured to himself. He didn't think he could stop such a powerful force. Moreover, Maiya was so desperate now that he didn't care whether he could survive. Anyway, he was just a helper. If you are not a busy waste, just die. I was meant to die under the teeth of those wild dogs, but unfortunately I was rescued by my adoptive father.
Maia looked at the abyss beneath his feet and took a step gently. However, he stepped on the void and did not fall. Just when Maia was staring at his feet, hoping to understand what was going on. , but he suddenly found himself in a desolate town,
"Run." Several children in their teens supported each other and ran as hard as they could. Behind them was the growing plague land, but Maiya did not put his thoughts on those children. , because he suddenly found that the town in front of him looked very familiar, as if he had been here before,
"Hey." A girl's voice sounded. This voice also attracted Maia's attention. He followed the voice and looked over, only to find that a girl about thirteen or fourteen years old fell to the ground, and this A girl stretched out her hands towards Maiya and shouted: "Brother, brother, come and save me."
Maiya was shocked, because the girl who fell in front of him was his sister. He was bitten by wild dogs and was covered in scars in order to save her. However, he was rescued by an old priest and eventually adopted him and her.
"Sister." Maiya opened his mouth, but found that he could not shout out. He pulled up his legs and was about to run over to help up his sister, who was not related by blood but was better than his biological brother and sister. However, he did not move at all. No, I can only watch helplessly as the endless plague spreads over my sister.
"No." Maiya watched his sister's little hands slowly disappear into the plague land. He closed his eyes in pain, tears pouring out of his eyes uncontrollably, "I am really useless, I am You are a waste, I can’t even save my own sister.” Maiya looked up to the sky and shouted: “Ah, merciful gods, can you bear to watch your devout believers suffer such a disaster?”
"You are not our believer. We don't need such useless believers." A majestic voice came from the sky. This slightly echoing man's voice stirred between the sky and the earth.
Maiya pointed angrily at the man who appeared in the sky with two pairs of white wings stretched out from his back, and shouted loudly: "Why, why, is this what you call fraternity and kindness?"
"Brother." A young female voice sounded. Maiya lowered her head in surprise, only to find that her sister who was supposed to be swallowed by the plague was standing in front of her. In a daze, Maia didn't even think about what this was. What happened? His heart was completely filled with joy. Maiya immediately opened his arms and faced his sister, saying loudly: "Sister, that's great."
"Hi." At the moment Maiya was about to hug his sister, sister Maia's lovely face suddenly changed dramatically, and a face full of evil desire appeared in front of him: "Be mine Food, human.”
"No." Maia used all his strength to let out a high-pitched cry, and a white light curtain erupted from his body, and soon turned into a large halo of light, shrouding Maia himself in it. At the same time, , Maiya woke up from his dream all of a sudden. He immediately felt the severe pain coming from his face and body, and he couldn't help but moaned,
"Ah, he's awake." A girl's clear voice came from outside the room. Not long after, a burst of rapid footsteps came from far and near, and came to Maia's side.
"Grandpa, look, how is he doing?" the girl's voice sounded,
"Don't worry. Since he can wake up, it means nothing is wrong. He should be fine after a few days of rest at most." The voice of another older man said,
Maiya listened to the conversation between the two people beside him and tried desperately to open his eyes, but his eyelids were as heavy as a mountain, making all his efforts in vain.
The two people next to Maiya seemed to have seen Maiya's movements. The very old man patted Maiya lightly on the shoulder and said: "Don't move, your wounds are not healed yet. Come on, Drink this bowl of fish soup and have a good sleep."
The warm fish soup entered his stomach and refreshed Maiya's spirit. He clearly remembered that he fell into the rapids while sitting on the carriage. After sinking to the bottom, he could no longer recall the situation at that time. What happened to Ryan and the others now? So, where is this place? Maiya's heart is now filled with all kinds of questions. Unfortunately, his body is too weak. He can only make a weak sound when he opens his mouth.
The older man guessed Maia's thoughts and comforted him and said: "Hello, Mr. Pastor, please don't worry. This is on the outskirts of Seawind City. My name is Corey. I am a fisherman. This is my granddaughter. ." Seeing that Maiya was still trying to speak, the fisherman who claimed to be Corey said: "You are still very weak now, so you should rest more, and wait until you recover from your injury before you think about other things. With my current injury, what can I do?”
Under Corey's persuasion, Maiya fell asleep again,
Looking at Maiya, whose head was wrapped in linen, Corey shook his head slightly, while the little girl standing next to him who was about fifteen or sixteen years old timidly asked: "Grandpa, will something happen to him?" ."
"He is in good health. Although there are many wounds on his body, they are not serious. Most of them were scratched by the rocks on the shore under the impact of the rapids river." Corey explained in a low voice. Said: "Okay, Bonnie, go see if the food cooked in the pot is ready. When he wakes up, give it to him, but don't let him eat too much. His body is very weak."
"I know, Grandpa, but his face..."
"Shh, don't talk here, let's go out."
The footsteps of the two people gradually moved away, leaving only Maia who was in a deep dream.
After Corey and Bonnie left, a black mist slowly gathered on the roof of the wooden house, and a female face faintly appeared in the black mist. If Ryan were here, he would be very surprised, because this face is the soul of Susan, who has been destroyed by his flame prison.
Susan, the soul of the dead, looked at Maia lying on the bed with a complicated expression. Although Maia fell into sleep again, it did not dare to devour Maia's soul anymore. In fact, Maia finally died in that inexplicable nightmare. The ugly face he saw was Susan's. At that time, Susan was preparing to devour the priest to obtain his life essence. Unfortunately, at the last moment, Maia's strong desire to survive triggered the secretion contained in his body. The power of light protects itself,
Maybe this light force is very weak and of no help to others, but for Susan, who is a revenant, it is a very powerful existence, so Susan fled the scene like a flying bird until Cory and Bonnie's grandson The two of them left before they dared to show up again.
That night, Susan's sneak attack on Ryan failed, but his body was destroyed by Ryan. However, her strong resentment still supported a mercenary from the Double Ax Mercenary Group who passed by. Susan immediately devoured the soul of the mercenary, and finally escaped from death. Days later, Susan immediately went to Seawind City, hoping to devour enough souls in the city to restore her vitality.
However, when Susan came to the gate of Seawind City, she happened to catch up with Ryan's great power and single-handedly suppressed Raphael's men. Of course Susan recognized Ryan's magic, and she was immediately frightened and ran away. In order to regain her strength , Susan must devour human souls, but it did not dare to enter the city because it was really scared by Ryan. In desperation, Susan had to hide outside the city.
Susan was originally a very smart woman. After the magic imprint in her soul was destroyed by Ryan's magic, Susan was completely free and could do whatever she wanted. However, Susan had a deep affection for Ryan. Deeply afraid, in order not to attract other people's attention, Susan hid in the small fishing village where Corey lived, and came out at night to look for prey.
Susan didn't dare to devour other people's souls randomly. She knew that once someone died unexpectedly, it would arouse suspicion from others. It was very close to Seawind City. If the news spread to the city, either Raphael or Ryan might be involved. I suspect that if Raphael or Ryan come here to conduct a detailed investigation, Susan will never be able to escape again.
During the few days of lurking, Susan only devoured two fishermen. One was sick and lying in bed. His death was not enough to arouse the suspicion of others, and the other took advantage of him to do it when he was drunk late at night. , so that others would think it was just drunken drowning,
When Corey moved Maia back to his house, Susan, who was hiding in the same room, immediately found the best prey. Because Maia was seriously injured and unconscious, even if he died suddenly, it was normal. And Maia's soul will also restore Susan to a certain degree of strength, at least she won't have to lose her soul immediately just because she is exposed to the sun.
