An infinite journey starting from Baldur's Gate

Feeling the familiar pain again, Ying Xin looked down at the wound on the back of her hand, feeling mixed emotions.
Because this proves that Shar is watching him,
With the temperament of the Dark Night Goddess, She will never give losers a second chance.

But now...

"What?! Song of the Dark Night? Isn't that... a treasure?"

After listening to the mysterious woman's story, Astelon exclaimed in surprise.

It was not surprising that she reacted like this. After all, the information that everyone knew about "Song of the Dark Night" was a lost rare treasure!
A "famous" wizard from Baldur's Gate even issued a heavy reward mission for this.
This attracted countless adventurers to search for it, but few of them had a good ending.

And now, everything has come to light. The so-called song in the dark night is not a thing, but the living person in front of us!
"…I want to know why you are here."

After glancing at Ying Xin who was looking down in silence, Gale stared at the mysterious woman.

He asked with a sharp look in his eyes.

pat~

As soon as she finished speaking, the mysterious woman's arm was suddenly cut off by some force!

Fall straight to the ground!
Seeing this scene, Gale and Asdelon both took a deep breath and stepped back subconsciously, unable to hide the horror and astonishment on their faces. They looked left and right to scout the enemy's situation.

But there was no sign of any cultists around.

"You have recognized this spell, haven't you? How could you not know its specific effects?"

The mysterious woman looked at the severed limb, then calmly bent down to pick up the arm and reassembled it like a toy.
And throughout the whole process, not even a drop of blood flowed out of his body! It was obvious that this person was not ordinary.

Gale did have some idea about this, and said solemnly:

"You are the source of Thom's immortality."

"Really?! Just her?"

Before the mysterious woman could respond, Astelon was the first to exclaim.
They looked each other up and down in disbelief.

Hearing this, Gale rolled his eyes helplessly and explained quickly:

"Don't yell, let me make it short. This magic circle is a unique method that can trap certain supernatural creatures and transfer their powerful power to others."

"And the trapped people are forced to bear all external damage on behalf of the beneficiaries."

"If my speculation is correct, she who can provide Som with immortality should be from the plane where the gods are, the heaven."

Immortality is an extremely rare trait. All Gale can think of is,
Only the gods in the sky who are high above and looking down on all living beings!

After swallowing his saliva, Astelon had a strange expression:
"You mean...she's a god?"

Upon hearing this, Gale couldn't hold it in any longer and shook his head repeatedly:
“Please! A mere soul cage cannot hold a god. She may be the offspring of a certain god, or a favored and blessed angel.”

Although the exact identity of the Dark Night Song is not known yet, one thing is certain.
It must be of great origin!

clap~
Suddenly, there was a burst of applause, and Dark Night Song could not hide its admiration:
"Very clever, Mage. I guess you are here to find a way to break the invincible body of Keseric Thorm."

"Release me, that bastard, and I will become a mortal again!"

"Not only that, you will have a powerful ally to fight alongside you and together we will send that arrogant and selfish general to where he belongs!"

Even though he said that, it was not hard to hear a pleading tone in Dark Night Song's voice.
It seems... worried or afraid of something.

Through his eyes, Gail caught that he was always glancing at Ying Xin intentionally or unintentionally. This small action magnified her guess.

He frowned and said hesitantly:
"Have you not……"

"You two, I have a better idea now." Ying Xin, who had been silent for a long time, spoke up at this time, and suddenly raised his head, his eyes were full of fierceness and murderous intent, and the back of his hand emitted a dazzling purple light!

The next moment, a short spear of extraordinary appearance appeared out of thin air in the palm of his hand!

"As long as I kill you, I will become Lady Shar's chosen one, and she will give me power again to win this damn war!"

"…We must not lose. I will never allow it!"

While talking to himself, Yingxin took a step and slowly approached the Song of Darkness in the center of the magic circle.
Seeing this, the other party also began to retreat until he reached the edge and was forcibly pushed back by the magic effect of the magic circle...

At this moment, she had no way to retreat, no way to avoid it, like a lamb on the chopping block.

Waiting for the butcher's knife to fall on the neck.

Astelon immediately put away his bow and arrow, crossed his arms and looked like he was waiting for something interesting to happen:
"Really? Be quick."

For her, killing or releasing the prisoners didn't matter, as long as the mission was successfully completed.

Of course, his personality is more inclined to choose the former.

Besides, the team cannot be without a priest. If Yingxin recovers his strength, everyone can benefit. The difference is not small!
However, seeing this, Gale couldn't help biting her lips and didn't have time to say anything more.
Jog in front of your partner and block his way.

"Get out of the way right now, Gail, do you know what you're doing?"

"We must win!"

Faced with his companions' obstruction, Yingxin suppressed his temper and questioned.

Gale took a deep breath and looked directly into the other person's eyes:
"I have a question for you. Is this a choice guided by your heart, or was it led by Shar? I don't know what the goddess of darkness said to you just now."

"But please don't forget what Malone said to you."

These words made Yingxin stunned for a moment, and her impatience gradually calmed down.

Recalling the elusive words of the paladin before he left.

"Follow your heart." X2
At the same time, Yingxin and Gale murmured this instruction.
They didn't know the meaning at that time, but now, the captain's intention was very clear. He had long expected that Shar would come to mess with people's mentality!
At the critical moment, throw out a "life-saving straw" to lure Yingxin to grab it.

Seeing that things were taking a turn for the better, Dark Night Song said quickly:

"To obey Shar's will and kill me will only seal your fate and drive your heart away from everything, leaving only loss."

"I can no longer feel love or happiness. I am controlled and enslaved by her all my life."

"And this torture will of course continue until the end of your life, or the moment you are abandoned."

Throwing oneself into the arms of the goddess of darkness means giving up all good things.
But would Yingxin not know? Of course not.

He knew it very well, and he didn't want to forget the precious memories of everyone living together day and night and sharing weal and woe, but given the current situation,
With your strength restored and Shar's divine intervention, victory is easier than ever!

"…I have made up my mind, Gale, get out of the way."

Closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, Ying Xin firmly asked the other person to go away.

If everyone can successfully overcome this difficulty and continue to live, then he is willing to bear the price of "forgetting"!
At this point, Gale pursed his lips, shook his head and sighed helplessly, then turned sideways.

She understood what her partner was thinking, this was for everyone's sake...
