The Void Walker Starting from Xumi

Chapter 31: Dark Disaster
Xia Mian left the second floor of the mausoleum.

In the first layer, the warriors of the Iron Sand Tribe have already assembled. After leaving enough warriors, Xia Mian let the remaining ordinary tribesmen take the tribe’s property and leave for Kawanyi.

Although the priest of Iron Sand was not powerful, the psychic power connected to Fuget also foresaw a bad future.

Therefore, he fully cooperated with Xia Mian's statement and convinced the headman, the chief warrior, the Eagle Father and the secretary.

Among them, the headman, secretary and elders organized people to go to the main defense line of Kawanyi. Eagle Father stayed behind with the falcon. The remaining soldiers were led by the chief warrior and the high priest and followed Xiamian to join the battle.

Although Xiamian did not know the outcome of the war of gods, he knew that during this period, a large number of monsters had appeared in various places along with the refugees from Kanreya.

The place they were heading to was the most dangerous place.

Xiamian led his men to fight all the way, and finally encountered the coalition forces of the Ko'e Desert Tribe and the Colossus troops of Kanreya at the third line of defense they established.

Without saying a word, Xia Mian led everyone to join the battlefield. Her killing efficiency was extremely high, even not inferior to that of the huge colossus.

"Long live Hermanubis!" The morale of the desert people increased greatly, and the scholar troops and the colossi cleared the monsters faster.

However, the happiness was only temporary. When the coalition forces were about to completely eliminate the monsters, the colossus suddenly made a loud noise and then stopped moving completely.

The White Swan Knights from Kanreya came out to explain that the colossus had been damaged in the fierce battle.

"..." Everyone didn't bother to curse and seized the opportunity to fight hard.

The battle ended quickly and everyone took the time to rest.

"Greetings to you, great Lady Fuget, we are scholars from Samanieh." The scholars came forward to meet the emperor. They were scholars specializing in desert management and desert research. They were not welcome in the House of the Decrees, but their inheritance was still orderly.

Many Samanid scholars also taught courses at the House of the Decree.

Xiamian had heard of them vaguely. They seemed to be some independent small sect, but he admired their bravery for coming here to fight.

Afterwards, some more scholars came to meet the emperor. They were a group of scholars from the Su Lun School, who were conducting a geomantic investigation here. They had no idea what was going on and were directly swept into it.

As for the Sand People, they were received by the priests and warrior chiefs of the Iron Sand Tribe.

"Can the Colossus be repaired?" asked Shamian.

"No, we are lacking the necessary parts." The White Swan Knight said regretfully, "But we can still command these tillers to continue fighting. In addition..."

"Then give the Colossus to me," said Xiamian.

"? This is the property of the kingdom." said the White Swan Knight.

"I can make it move again." Xiamian said, "At this time, you have to pray that it is old enough."

“???” The White Swan Knight’s mind was full of question marks.

Xiamian found the priest of Iron Sand and asked him to set up the venue for the ceremony. Xiamian wanted to use the power of Fugate to activate the machine soul of the colossus. Although she could also activate the machine soul, it was too difficult for Xiamian to activate such a large machine.

As for whether it can be moved after activation, don't worry about it. As long as the machine soul is very happy, let alone just a few damaged parts, it will be no problem to directly upgrade it into the void.

The people of the Iron Sand Tribe skillfully arranged the venue as instructed by the priest.

This is a ceremony to borrow the power of Fuget, and is often performed by the Iron Sand Tribe.

"Ring the bell once! Push the lever to start the piston and pump. Ring the bell twice! Press the button to start the engine, ignite the turbine, and inject life. Ring the bell three times! Sing in unison and praise the God of Machines!" The psychic energy enveloped the colossus.

Mechanical fatigue is eliminated, mechanical stress is released, and damaged parts are quickly restored.

"Sing in unison and praise the God of All Things!" The colossus made a sound like muffled thunder.

"What...what is this?" The White Swan Knights looked at the colossus in shock.

They did not understand the language spoken by the colossus, which was High Gothic taught by the big golden human.

"Witchcraft," said Xiamian.

"Stand up, soldiers!" Shamian said, standing on the head of the colossus, and the colossus stood up.

"Hurry up and go in and get ready to take control," said Xia Mian.

"Oh~ Okay~" The White Swan Knights re-entered the Colossus and began to control it.

"Forward! Forward!" said Xiamian, pointing at the monsters emerging in the distance.

While Xiamian was killing the monster, a place not far from Kawanyi had already fallen into war.

The black hounds attacked the mercenaries. There was also a colossus here. Kuru was the advisor of this team, and he was jumping up and down on the battlefield at this time.

Every now and then he would use his crutch to stab a monster to death. Just kidding, he is so brave.

"Where did these guys come from?" Kuru complained.

"What! Grass element purification doesn't work, what about psychic purification!" In most cases, Kuru is actually giving blessings and removing curses to large troops instead of killing them personally.

He had already called upon Fuget's power for blessing. Although his psychic ability was not weak, it was obviously not enough to support the purification of the entire army. Only Fuget could do this easily.

"Be careful!" A beast hound teleportation space appeared behind Kuru.

"You little things really know how to make this old man happy." Kuru stretched out his hand and used his crutch to smash the beast hound's head.

Suddenly, more monsters floated over from afar.

Kuru's face changed and he said, "What are you waiting for? Waiting to die? Run quickly." After hearing his words, everyone retreated towards the defense line.

The location of the Faruna Divine Machine is the tiger's territory, and the Forest King's maze protects the Faruna Divine Machine.

But now it is no longer just the Forest King and his attendants. Two old men, leaning on crutches, followed a black cat and staggered into the Forest King's maze.

The maze of the forest opened up to the three reinforcements.

There are already traces of monsters inside.

"Meow meow!~"

"Got it, Dahei, oh~ no, it should be Mr. Benge Black Fugate." Batu said.

Maomao nodded happily, feeling happy that someone could finally say her full name.

Big black and the like, it is indeed a dark history, right?

"You guys should stay here. There are more and more dark beasts recently. They seem to have sensed the power of Faruna Divine Machine and have been sending troops to try to destroy Faruna Divine Machine."

"Fortunately, the several lines of defense are playing their due role and blocking most of the monsters. I can also deal with the remaining small monsters."

Silently, several more dark monsters appeared.

He was killed by two old men and the Forest King's servants.

"I haven't fought like this in a long time." Baanka complained, "I hope there will be fewer enemies."

······
"Teacher, I pray for your strength." Hetala should be the most promising among Fget's apprentices. Her level has reached LV83, and she has become one of the top people among the original gods.

But she faces the same problem as those old guys, that is, they are all equally old, and naturally useless when they get old.

And after she retired, the power around her decreased a lot.

So she had to call upon the power of her mentor, Fugate, to help her.

"Your reinforcements are on the way." Fuget's voice was erratic. This place was too far away from his mausoleum, and his power was weakened when it was transmitted here.

"Go this way." Fugate pointed her in the direction, and her destined reinforcements would arrive soon.

Hetala used her sword skills to kill several monsters instantly, and then used psychic lightning chains to smash a large number of monsters.

Then he protected the maid and several younger generations of the family and retreated together.

Finally, they encountered reinforcements sent by the Knights.

"Really? I, an old woman, am so busy today." Hetala complained a few words and then died.

If she had rested quietly at her old age, she could probably live another two or three years. But she forced herself to fight today, which consumed her strength early. After all, her organs had failed early. She did not rely on breathing techniques to advance, because she was not as strong as the other apprentices of Forgate, and she did not truly break the limit of her lifespan.

She relied on the potion in her hand, but unfortunately the potion could no longer save her.

After the sudden relaxation, Hetala died before she could catch her breath.

One hundred and sixteen years after Fuget's death and three years after the outbreak of the Dark Disaster, Fuget's apprentice, Mond's Potion Witch, Hetala Legenfind Loefat, died at the age of one hundred and fifty-seven.

Fuget received her spirit and, in accordance with her last wishes, entrusted her strength and wisdom to the other Mond people.

······
Seven years after the outbreak of the Dark Disaster, most of the desert area had been lost, and the front line had retreated from the Three Canals to behind Mount Dama.

Even Fuget's mausoleum has been donated. It has become a fortress to resist erosion. Perhaps Fuget had foreseen this scene.

"I didn't expect Mr. Fugate's mausoleum to be here." The scholars were amazed. "We, the Iron Sand Clan, are the gravekeepers of Mr. Fugate," said the priest. "You can only move around on the first underground floor, the first floor above ground, and the second floor above ground."

"This place seems to be built in the style of a fortress." said a scholar from the Miaolun school.

Now they have scholars from the six major schools, as well as many people from smaller schools. These scholars are all sent by the Council of Ecclesiastical Authorities for support.

"The saint is proficient in prophecy. He may have anticipated today's scene when he was building the mausoleum." said the Iron Sand Priest.

Xiamian nodded to confirm the priest's words, "I asked Fuget to help with prophecy a few years ago, and now part of the prophecy has been fulfilled."

"Isn't Mr. Fugate dead?" everyone asked in surprise.

"Although he is dead, his power still exists." The priest of Iron Sand said, "The power I use comes partly from myself, and the other part is borrowed from the great saint."

Everyone began to rest. After all, after being on the battlefield for so long, nothing was more important than rest.

Behind the iron sand dunes is part of the sand defense wall line, so they cannot relax.

Everyone rested here for a few days, and the remnants of the soldiers from the Palace of Folly and the Corridor of the Dead gathered here.

The Colossi and the Swan Knights who never stopped fighting also appeared.

Many of the White Swan Knights have died, and the Colossus's machine soul is also very exhausted due to lack of manpower.

Finally, the sentinels discovered the huge disaster beast approaching, and everyone began to prepare for battle.

"Oh, King of Sand~" The weapons of the Sand People began to shine with elemental light, and the Evil Spirits began to thirst for blood.

Under the leadership of the Iron Priest, all the priests of the Sand People were gathered together. They chanted ancient blessings and actually mobilized the power of Fuget.

The weather had unknowingly turned into a rainy day, but this was no ordinary rain.

"What is this? The Six Water Magic!?" Xia Mian asked in surprise.

"The Warcraft's ability to travel through space has been restricted. Let's kill them." The priests said even more shocking words.

But unfortunately, the range of Fget's power is ultimately small, and Warcraft is not brainless.

When they found that they could not break into the Fugate Mausoleum, they chose to take a detour and sent part of their forces to trap these people, just as they had done before.

······
"How long will it take for the support to arrive?" Kuru asked helplessly, touching the crutch that had been broken into two pieces.

"There are no reinforcements, Lord Kuru." A scholar of the Life Theory School said as he tied a bandage tightly around a mercenary.

Although they were well prepared, supplies were still insufficient.

"But Lord Kuru is still strong despite his old age." The mercenary said with a grin.

"Then let's retreat to the Water and Sky Jungle defense line, deploy defenses along the way, and lure the large group of Warcraft over there." Kuru said.

As for the commander, he has already been replaced, and now the Kawanyi front is commanded by Kuru.

"How are the White Swan Knights of the ancient country of Tuha?"

"We have suffered heavy casualties. The tiller unit is almost completely destroyed, but the good news is that the Colossus is still OK. Let's retreat with it."

"Yes!"

······
"I'm old, really old." Baanka was leaning on a crutch with one hand and holding a knife with the other. There was a very thick layer of monster corpses under his feet.

"Batu, are you still alive? Send a healer over here."

The ice element exploded into ice mist, and the Forest King, the cat Dahei, and Baanka all breathed a sigh of relief.

"There are more and more monsters." A worried look appeared on the face of the Forest King. "The maze is also becoming more and more broken, otherwise there wouldn't be so many monsters pouring in at once."

"I'm afraid we'll die in the next wave."

"Meow~" The cat Dahei expressed his disapproval.

"Okay, you're right." The Forest King couldn't help but say as he looked at the big black cat who had killed the second most but was in the best condition.

This guy is indeed a modified fighting machine. Apart from anything else, his physical strength is truly unfathomable.

"Hey~ Batu, come again." Baanka shouted.

"Huh!?" Everyone noticed something was wrong.

The cat Dahei was the first to rush into the pile of monsters, and he made a human figure out of it that exhaled more than inhaled.

"Ahem~ I haven't been in the battlefield for a long time~ I've been busy treating patients~ Ahem~ My swordsmanship is far inferior to yours." Batu slapped the Eye of God and froze himself into powder in an instant, leaving behind a sentence "It's better to die directly than to be eaten by the monster."

Baanka has the most combat experience among all the apprentices except Xiamian. Although he has gained weight, his knife skills are better than Batu, the guy with a scalpel.

Fuget was a little surprised at Batu's death. After all, this guy was a healer, so how could he die so soon?

However, this does not affect Fuget's ability to guide Batu's spirit.

A trace of Fuget's consciousness came to the pile of ice powder, quietly led it, then smiled at Baanka, and the two of them turned into a ray of starlight and disappeared, leaving Baanka stunned.

The Forest King just thought that Baanka was too sad about this.

So he comforted her, "It seems that we will die today."

Sure enough, in the subsequent wave of more fierce monster attacks, the two people and two beasts, without treatment, were under tremendous pressure.

Then the Forest King completely detonated his own power to bury more than half of the monsters. Baanka also completely exploded his rock elemental power and petrified the remaining half of the monsters.

Baanka, the former richest man in Xumi and the greatest philanthropist in history, passed away at the age of 167. Batu, the greatest doctor in Xumi and the lifelong honorary director of Xumi Health Home, passed away at the age of 166.

The girl, who was the king's attendant, was also very sad, not only because of the death of the Forest King and Baanka, but also because the Faruna Divine Machine was damaged.

After the dark monsters completed the destruction of the Faruna Divine Machine, they no longer poured in on a large scale, but a large number of monsters still passed by here.

"Meow~" The cat Dahei was also very lost.

Suddenly it saw another person, Kuru.

"Meow meow?"

"Dahei~Why are you here?" Kuru didn't know what arrangements His Majesty the Great Mercy Tree King had made for other people.

“Meow~Meow!”

"Oh, so many things have happened." Kuru said with emotion, "My two old friends have also gone to see my mentor. I don't know how long I can hold on."

There was a flash of lightning in the sky, and Xia Mian appeared here.

"It seems like you guys had a good chat."

"Both Baanka and Batu are dead," Kuru said.

"Yes~ I 'saw' it. I came here to avenge them."

"How is your defense?" Kuru asked.

"The Iron Dunes are as solid as a rock, and with Fuget's blessing on that place, it can be said that as many monsters as there are will die. It can even be done without me."

"So after I 'saw' their deaths, I came here," said Xiamian.

"Come to think of it, I really didn't expect that the mentor would build the mausoleum there."

"You can go and pay your respects after the war." Xia Mian said indifferently.

"I may not live to that time." Kuru said with a wry smile. He just broke through the limit of human lifespan, but did not transform into an immortal species. His physical strength has already declined greatly.

Xia Mian took the cat away, she needed the cat's strength.

They passed through the port of Omos and eventually met local mercenaries and merchants who were resisting.

There are also two original gods among them.

They obviously recognized Xiamian, and after cooperating with Xiamian to eliminate a large number of monsters, they saluted Xiamian.

"Greetings to you~the great Hermanubis II." said the original god.

It was obvious that this original god was not familiar with Xia Mian.

The one who is truly familiar should be the Honorable Mrs. Fugate.

"What's going on here?" Xiamian's psychic power told her that the monsters that killed Baanka were here, but she couldn't find them, so she decided to ask the locals.
