The night was getting dark.
In the dark tent, several rows of candles tried to burn themselves, barely propping up the heavy darkness.
In the light of the candles, waves of blood mist surrounded the coffin in the center of the tent and continuously evaporated.
In the blood mist, Ke Lin's figure loomed, as if it were real or unreal.
With the passage of time, faint blood-red complex lines gradually appeared on Ke Lin's body, like arcane magic circles, and star trails.
A trace of terrifying coercion could not be restrained, and it actually suppressed and dimmed the flickering candles in the tent.
The thick darkness took the opportunity to expand unscrupulously, making the atmosphere in the tent even more gloomy and gloomy.
Suddenly, two lights burst forth, tearing apart the darkness.
It was Colin who opened his eyes.
His pupils turned into bright red vertical pupils, exuding a cold light.
The light flickered away, and Colin raised his head from the Duke of St. Pros who had turned into a mummy.
He could clearly feel that every cell in his body seemed to be jumping for joy.
The blood mist surrounding him seemed to be able to absorb some mysterious energy particles from the air, transform them into some kind of nourishing power, and inhale them all into his body.
The body cells nourished by the mysterious power began to accelerate their evolution one after another.
The muscle fibers became stronger and tougher, the bones and joints became more crystal clear, and the blood in his body was also surging in his blood vessels like a raging tide.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Colin's heart was beating rapidly like a powerful water pump, which made the blood in his whole body run more violently and even boil.
The rising blood pressure made the blood vessels in Colin's whole body stand out, like blue-purple steel cables wrapped around his body.
The muscles also continued to swell due to blood congestion, and soon filled the original armor to the brim.
Chi!
A pair of black bat wings pierced through the armor and slowly spread out behind Colin.
Boom!
The armor could no longer bear this force, and was completely burst by Colin's swelling body.
Fortunately, this tent is big enough, otherwise it may not be able to accommodate Ke Lin who has entered the [Blood Avatar] state.
This is not the first time that Colin has advanced by sucking the blood of a high-level knight. Therefore, Colin was not too surprised by the changes in his body, but instead felt the source of this magical power.
The blood is boiling, the body is restless, and the mind, in the pain caused by this drastic change, has begun to become blurred.
But Colin clenched his teeth tightly, trying to maintain his consciousness.
In a trance, countless pictures, countless information, and countless memories flickered in front of his eyes.
He tried his best to see those pictures clearly, but it seemed that he was always separated by a hazy tulle.
A faint murmur sounded in his ears, as if someone was whispering.
The blood mist filled the air and condensed into mysterious and complicated blood patterns on the surface of Ke Lin's huge body.
boom! boom! boom!
While his heart was beating violently, Colin's consciousness became more and more blurred, and his eyes became more and more empty.
In an instant, an unstoppable darkness suddenly swept over, completely submerging Colin's entire consciousness.
…
Click!
A flash of lightning tore through the darkness.
Ke Lin opened his eyes again, and found that he was standing on the top of a mountain at some point, but the land under his feet turned out to be silver.
Click!
Another bolt of lightning struck.
Colin found a dark figure on the edge of the cliff.
The torch was held high in the figure's hand, and the dancing flame became the only light in the darkness.
The man threw the torch over the cliff.
The red flame drew a line of fire in the air, and rolled and fell into the abyss that seemed to never see the bottom.
Click!
A third bolt of lightning flashed across.
The electric light illuminates the entire mountaintop.
Only then did Colin realize that there were dense figures standing on the top of the mountain, and he seemed to be one of them.
These figures all raised their hands high, chanting words.
"Wake up... Great... King..."
The sound of prayers one after another surrounded Colin's ears, but strangely, he couldn't hear the specific content of the prayers.
Click!
The fourth bolt of lightning flashed across.
The lightning illuminates everything between heaven and earth.
In the pitch-black abyss, a dark red flame rose slowly—
No!
That's not flame!
Ke Lin suddenly came back to his senses, only to realize that it was a huge dark red ferocious vertical pupil!
The place where I was standing was not a mountain top at all, but the top of a giant beast!
In the darkness, thunder and lightning flashed continuously in the sky, finally allowing Colin to see clearly the scene in front of him—this is an extremely huge silver python!
The giant python's huge body is like a mountain range, stretching vertically and horizontally to the end of the field of vision without seeing the edge.
Under the electric light, on the body of the giant python, bloodstains can be vaguely seen.
The giant python's cloudy eyes stared at Colin quietly, and Colin's face was reflected in the dark red vertical pupils.
It seems to want to say something.
But Colin could not receive any information.
Only from that one eye, one can see the helplessness, oldness, and desolation of this giant python...
It seems like an old king who has come to an end, looking forward to a successor who can succeed him——
a new king.
boom!
The last flash of lightning flashed across.
Everything returned to the boundless darkness again.
The vertical pupils of the silver python also disappeared.
But Colin felt that faint whispers were still echoing in his ears, maybe the giant python was trying to say something to him.
Unfortunately, he couldn't hear it at all.
…
Outside the tent, the Logue knight who heard the movement quickly came over, but was stopped by a blood slave.
"What's the matter, Lord Earl?"
The blood slave didn't answer, but just stood in front of the Logue knight quietly.
"Can't even I go in?"
The Logue knight asked angrily.
But the blood slave in front of him remained unmoved.
The Logue knight knew that these people were Earl Angelet's personal guards. They had mysterious origins, but they were all extremely powerful, and they fought extremely bravely, fearless of death.
If it were not clear that these personal guards could not betray Earl Angelet, I am afraid that the Logue knight could not help but rush in by force.
At this moment, the inaudible murmurs in the tent stopped abruptly, but then, a terrifying coercion suddenly erupted, sweeping across the entire camp like a raging wave.
The closest Logue knight had the deepest feeling of this power. If he hadn't felt the extremely strong energy of the holy light and the familiar aura belonging to Earl Angelet, he might have drawn his sword from his waist.
"My lord..."
While the Logue knight was waiting anxiously, a personal guard outside the tent seemed to have been summoned, turned around and walked in.
Not long after, I saw Colin strode out.
"Lord Earl, are you alright!" Knight Logue hurried forward to salute. At the same time, he also noticed that the armor Earl Angelet was wearing seemed to belong to the guard who walked into the tent just now...
But he didn't dare to ask too much, he just hid this doubt in his heart.
"Is there anything to eat?" Colin asked, with a scarlet light flashing in his eyes from time to time, and the energy of the holy light continued to radiate from his body, as if he couldn't perfectly control the soaring power for a while.
"Of course there is. Please wait a moment!" Knight Logue raised his head, feeling the surging power on Colin's body, and couldn't help asking, "Master Earl, have you been promoted to the sixth rank?"
Ke Lin nodded, looking in the direction of Bailu City:
"Yes."
