A strange neighing sound was heard.
There was only a moment of stagnation, and Dagonit, who was frozen, had already started moving again.
After the "turtle shell" was shattered, the parasitic demons felt the instinctive fear boiling in its corpse.
They stimulated the already withered brain, trying to mobilize the last emotions remaining in the corpse.
"Arthur..."
Dagonit's body trembled, and his face slowly raised.
On the mutilated face covered with stench, there were still scorch marks burned by the iron slurry.
"Give it back to me..." said the remaining anger.
The hatred buried in the corpse was awakened, roaring wildly, repeating the same name, hating it to the core, and wanting to seek for the glory and status it had won.
"Arthur!"
He roared, and the masonry beneath his feet suddenly cracked, his convulsing body swelled again, and his already exaggerated strength soared again.
The armor all over his body made a high-pitched scream, echoing his roar of grief and anger.
The giant sword that fell on the ground was shattered by his kick, and the steel turned into fine iron sand under his body, which was deeply embedded in the stone crevices.
Finally, the single eye as red as lava looked at Ye Qingxuan, and then, the furious giant rushed towards him.
"-Arthur!!!"
Before anyone arrived, the exaggerated power set off a hurricane in the hall, making people unable to open their eyes. But in the strong wind, the young man's figure stood still, motionless, and the hem of his dark dress was flying in the strong wind, like an eagle spreading its wings.
The tightly whirling melody burst out of his hand like a sharp blade, and in an instant, it echoed back into the hall of the strong wind. The young man stared at the cracks in his armor and looked at the demon hiding inside.
Eyes emerged from the boiling mucus, and they were looking at him, but there was no sign of panic on that face.
There was only indifference.
If before that, Ye Qingxuan was still afraid of the former Knights of the Round Table, then once these monsters were revealed, they had nothing to fear.
Facing the impact like a boulder crushing him, the young man raised his cane high and suddenly fell to the ground - it collapsed! In an instant, the crisp sound of the trembling steel turned into the majestic sound of a horn roaring.
The horn carried an aura as fierce as the scorching sun, as if it wanted to drive away the endless darkness and desolation.
—Herald the coming of dawn!
In an instant, the darkness was illuminated by firelight.
Sharp silver nails half a meter long and engraved with many musical notes and movements flew out of his backpack. After sensing such a clear demonic aura, they swallowed fire and shot out like a siege ballistae. .
boom! boom! boom! boom!
The roar of steel being torn was heard.
Sixteen silver nails penetrated into the cracks in the armor in an instant. The huge impact caused Dagonit to fly backwards and hit the wall.
The silver nails penetrated the sticky demons and shriveled corpses, pierced the armor, and finally penetrated deeply into the wall.
Immediately afterwards, endless purgatory fire spurted out from those silver nails, sweeping through Dagonit's body from the inside out, turning it into charcoal, and igniting countless alien demons. .
These are the singing consumables given to Ye Qingxuan by the shaman. The alchemists refined dozens of tons of pure silver in just a few days and customized the alchemical equipment for "Night on the Barren Mountain".
The firepower of Barren Mountain Night was more than doubled!
In the fierce fire, Dagonit struggled hard, but was unable to break free and was engulfed by the flames from the inside out.
Countless sticky liquids spurted out from the cracks in the armor, scrambling to escape, splashing like fountains. But their bodies had already been ignited, and they were burning crazily on the ground, until in the end, not even ashes were left.
Through the thick firelight, Dagonit's body seemed to have returned to before death again, letting out a shrill scream. He beat wildly on the wall that restrained him, and the cracks spread.
Until the end, he couldn't move anymore.
All the ether fluctuations disappeared without a trace, leaving only a piece of red-hot armor remaining in place.
Until now, Ye Qingxuan breathed a sigh of relief, with layers of cold sweat seeping down his back, and smiled happily: "Although I am not an official musician, I am still quite strong."
When he said this, he heard an unknown sneer coming from the wind, which made his expression stiffen for a moment. He comforted himself: "Normal people can't compete with those monsters. It's good if they are better than others." ”
He muttered something in a low voice that others could not understand, stepped forward, and pulled out the silver nails from the red-hot armor. As the silver nails were pulled out, the wall that was on the verge of collapse shattered, revealing a huge gap.
The broken wall and the armor trapped inside fell into the night sky outside the tower, falling downwards and falling apart in the air.
"Have you climbed this high already?"
The cold wind from high altitude poured into the hall. Ye Qingxuan stood next to the crack, staring at the clouds outside, looking down... and then his expression froze.
In the gaps between the layers of clouds, Ye Qingxuan clearly saw the noisy and prosperous city. Under the moonlight, the lights in the city were brightly lit.
Horse-drawn carriages raced through the streets.
The majesty and solemnity in the upper city, the peaceful singing and dancing in the middle city, and the chaos and noise in the lower city. Ships that have just arrived are moored on the pier, and the cargo ships that are about to set off sound their whistles and make high-pitched sounds. **In the night sky.
Such a lively and prosperous city is like a pearl that blooms brightly at night, making everyone unable to help but feel shocked from the bottom of their hearts.
"Is this Avalon?"
Ye Qingxuan turned back dullly, feeling the aura of disaster in the hall that was so thick that it couldn't be resolved. When he looked at the prosperous city outside the crack, his expression was full of horror that was so thick that it couldn't be resolved.
I am clearly in the core of the Shadow of Avalon, but why can I overlook the scenery of Avalon through here
If the scene he saw outside the crack was not an illusion... then where exactly was he
In the movie
Still in...
…
…
Under the same night, in the clock shop, amid the crisp sound of ticking, Hermes was lying on the sofa after finishing his late night snack, loosening his belt comfortably, and his sizable belly bulging.
In front of him, there was a rather quaint floor-to-ceiling mirror.
He lazily held up his double chin and squinted his eyes to examine the scene in the mirror - in the mirror, a desolate city and the shadow of a demon flashed vaguely, and in the end, it was fixed at a bird's-eye view.
In the dark city, demons are surging, and the white tower rises into the sky, exuding a strange aura.
"Shadow of Avalon?"
Bai Xi, who was passing by, stood in front of him and knocked on the mirror curiously, "Can you see another world from here?"
"Sorry, can't."
Hermes shrugged, "However, the Shadow of Avalon has never been in another world. At best... it's just the difference between 'here' and 'there'."
"What's the meaning?"
"If I were to say that we are in the Shadow of Avalon at this moment, would you believe it? Well, you wouldn't. But that's the fact."
Hermes showed his signature malicious smile, "Everyone knows that with the defeat of King Arthur, the Sword in the Stone fell apart, and the out-of-control 'Scepter - Kingdom Come' pulled the fragments of Avalon and fell into the ether. In the depths of the sea, everything that happened back then was buried, forming the current 'Shadow of Avalon'. But the shadow will always follow the light. How far is the shadow of Avalon from Avalon?"
Hermes raised his hand, and the light passed through his arm, leaving a shadow of his palm on the wall. The shadow changed with the posture of his palm, but it made Bai Xi feel shuddering.
"—The answer is, very close."
Hermes looked at his own shadow and placed his palms on the shadow, as if he had become one with the shadow.
"It's ridiculous, isn't it? Throughout Avalon, hundreds of thousands of people live, die, breathe, eat, sleep, and commit suicide... but no one has ever noticed that they are only one step away from the abyss."
Hermes looked at her with a happy expression: "You and the demon live in the same city, pass each other, live in the same house, and get along day and night. But you don't know each other. For example, at this moment, the top of your head , there was a spider mother..."
Bai Xi's expression suddenly became gloomy, and he threw the dictionary in his hand at Hermes: "You, a severe mysophobia, would tolerate a demon in your home? Are you fooling a three-year-old child?"
"Haha, you are indeed my student!"
Hermes stretched out his hand, caught the dictionary with his fat fingers, and laughed.
"Now that you've said it, let's make it clear."
Bai Xi said coldly: "Don't just sell it."
"I was just about to say, don't worry."
Hermes shook his head and sighed, drew imaginary pictures in the air with his fingers, and said:
"The three kings in ancient times called the place where they were located the material world, and the country where the Great Source was located was called the 'etheric realm', separated by nine layers of etheric sea.
But there is no long distance between the material world and the etheric world... rather, they have overlapped each other for a long time. The nine-layered sea of ether connects the two to each other.
The saints use their own scepters to weave music theory, and use the invisible realm as a tower to penetrate the two realms and achieve all kinds of incredible miracles. In the hope that one day, I can enter Dayuan...
King Arthur, of course, is no exception.
In fact, the entire city of Avalon is a 'tower base' made by his scepter called 'Kingdom of Heaven', all of which are designed to increase the power to the highest level.
With this, King Arthur almost ascended to the status of a demigod.
And when he died, the kingdom of heaven that descended on the earth also collapsed, falling into the depths of the ether sea with him, and slept together with the darkness.
In the first few years, whenever the fog enveloped the entire Avalon, those demons lurking in the shadows would have the opportunity to cross that door again and appear here.
Later, as the shadows of Avalon sank deeper and deeper into the etheric sea, they became further and further away from 'this side', and in the end, only the 'blood road' connection remained. For hundreds of years, only the royal family secretly used their own blood to open pathways in order to hide some shady secrets.
It's a pity that recently, under the influence of some thoughtful people... this country of demons and demons that sank into darkness has gradually awakened again. "
He paused and his expression twitched: "In the final analysis, it's all thanks to that shit stick. The Ye family is almost extinct in the East, and they still refuse to give up in the West. For thousands of years, there has been no generation of family heads. Normal! Including your cheap cousin... "
Bai Xi was silent, staring at the world in the mirror. Her tender cheeks gradually faded and became as heavy as water, and nothing could be seen. But Hermes raised his eyebrows: "Are you worried about him? Forget it, you might as well worry about your father who is far away in Yunlou finally making up his mind to take you back to continue his great career in Yunlou. - His life is tougher than yours."
Hermes snorted angrily, "Ye Lanzhou worked so hard back then and hid so many good things in him. It's a pity that he had all the tricks and didn't expect that his son would turn out to be a deadbeat. It seems better than Everyone is indifferent to reality, but in their hearts they are more naive than anyone else."
As he said that, he applied with a look of gloating and sighed, "I'm really looking forward to it. How wonderful will Ye Qingxuan's expression be when he discovers the truth that he has been 'deliberately neglected' because of his innocence?"
