The mastermind behind this started by creating a strange story

Then it formed an inverted bowl shape to protect him and the people behind him. Although the translucent golden barrier was not transparent, one could still clearly see the outside world.

Arthur looked solemnly at the corpse king in front of him, which had become pitch black. I say "pitch" because it was too dark. The corpse king's figure had disappeared, leaving only a large area of ​​darkness like a crack in space.

The flat kind.

The corpse king, who was in the darkness, was conscious. When he woke up from his deep thought, he was hit in the face by the holy light. If he hadn't reacted quickly, he might have been disfigured... Disfigurement was impossible, he was not a human being, and the black energy could repair his body at any time. Even if he was chopped into pieces, as long as his soul was not destroyed and his body had not turned to ashes, and the black energy was sufficient, he could recover into a long-haired handsome man at any time.

Unfortunately, the Holy Light is his weakness. Although he reacts quickly, his body reacts even faster. It is better to say that the Holy Light directly triggers his body's stress response.

His strength suddenly increased for unknown reasons, and before he could adapt, he was hit in the face by holy light. Then his body reacted spontaneously and released a darkness so dense that it was obvious that he was an evil villain.

Although he is a villain, at least he is not an evil devil. Compared with those devils, who are so evil, he can be considered a good guy.

Wait! Why do I know about the devil? And I seem to be familiar with him?

A strange yet familiar word suddenly popped up in his divergent thoughts, which made the Corpse King, who was originally sober, confused again.

But the Corpse King, who had been dazed for a while, quickly reacted. Now was not the time to think. He needed a quiet environment to analyze his uncontrollable memories.

The Corpse King came back to his senses and sensed the current situation.

With careful perception, he realized that his dark power had already spread out and was still expanding. Although he could take it back, it would take too much time, and there were also those annoying mortals outside.

Although he could deal with those mortals who possessed the power of holy light, it was still for the same reason: it took too much time.

The most important issue now is his memory and the power that suddenly increased for no reason.

But the Corpse King would be unhappy if he let those mortals go like this. Even if he didn't kill them, he would at least cause them some trouble.

Well… taking back the power is troublesome, and teaching a lesson to mortals is also troublesome, but when the two are combined, it is not troublesome.

Soon, the Corpse King thought of a good idea, which was to directly detonate the spreading dark power and then leave.

These overflowing dark forces are not disposable energies, so there is no need to feel bad about detonating them. Moreover, the detonated dark forces can just cause trouble to those mortals.

Killing two birds with one stone belongs to yes.

Thinking of this, the Corpse King did not hesitate and walked out of the darkness directly, blocking the gap in his body to prevent the dark power from spreading further outward.

And then with just one thought, the extremely dense dark power exploded with a loud bang. The huge amount of energy spread directly over a radius of a thousand meters, sweeping across the surrounding area of ​​the wasteland.

The darkness was everywhere, covering the sky and the sun.

The strong wind mixed with endless darkness swept around, even the bright blue sky was stained with an unclean color, and even the bright sun could not cast a single ray of light here.

In the center of the detonated darkness, a tiny ray of golden light was like a crumbling boat, and it seemed that it would be overturned at any time in the turbulent dark waves.

The dark wave was like a merciless black sea, sweeping across the lifeless wasteland with its waves. It was not until more than ten seconds later that the dark wave gradually subsided.

Fortunately, this is a wasteland, a barren land with no life, otherwise this dark explosion would be enough to turn into an irreversible disaster.

After a moment, the endless and dense darkness disappeared into the empty wasteland, and a trace of holy golden light rose up. The small boat finally survived the stormy black sea.

Chapter 325: Seal Appears

Wasteland plain.

The swaying golden protective shield shook twice in the wind, and then finally exploded with a pop, breaking into scattered golden light.

The golden light was like a weightless veil, floating away into the distance with the wind, and dissipated between heaven and earth after a moment.

This wasteland swept by the dark wave is dominated by desolation and decay, although it was not much better before being swept away.

"Arthur, are you okay?"

The moment the golden protective shield dissipated, Arthur's body swayed, his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Melina was quick-eyed and hurriedly supported Arthur, who was exhausted.

Although he was the strongest among all the people present, he was not a monster like the Corpse King after all. If the Corpse King was determined to kill them, they would not be able to cause much trouble.

The reason is that it is too weak.

Their power may be able to deal with vampires or zombies, but it is still not enough for a monster like the Corpse King that possesses powerful strength as soon as it appears.

Perhaps this is also the reason why the Corpse King let them go. Although a lion uses all its strength when fighting a rabbit, the reality is that the lion does not value the few pounds of meat on the rabbit. The energy consumed in one hunt is not something that a rabbit can recover.

Back to the topic, after the Corpse King left, everyone, who had never expected this mission to be so dangerous, breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, even the strongest among them had knelt, so the monster still slaughtered them indiscriminately? Fortunately, the monster seemed to have no interest in them, otherwise their team would have become the first example of being buried right after debuting.

"I'm fine, I just consumed too much energy." Seeing the concerned looks on everyone's faces, Arthur felt warm in his heart and waved his hand and shook his head.

"But why would that monster let us go? Could it be that he really didn't bother to step on an ant to death?"

Hearing this, everyone's expression darkened. Although it was embarrassing to say, this seemed to be the most accurate answer.

"That should be the reason." Matvey was in a low mood and had a sullen tone. After all, no one would be happy to hear this conclusion. "He didn't take us seriously at the beginning. If it weren't for us..."

At this point, Matvey's voice lowered, but his meaning was very clear. If they hadn't stopped him, the Corpse King might not have stopped to fight them.

After all, they had never taken them seriously from the beginning to the end, and even the fight just now was probably just for fun.

"Let's not talk about this, Mr. Arthur, what should we do next?" Matvey suddenly changed his tone and looked at Arthur with difficulty.

Not to mention that he is the captain, he cannot bear the responsibility. He is just a weak, pitiful and helpless team member, and he can't eat much. A bowl of rice can last him a day.

"This..." Looking at Matviblingbling's big eyes, Arthur seemed to see a word in them.

This place is hopeless. Let's go back. Staying here means waiting for death. When you go back, let the emperor send troops to bomb this place. Go back, go back, go back...

Arthur came back to his senses with a start, feeling extremely uncomfortable. It was so strange that he could read so much meaning from those two eyes.

"I think... that... actually..."

Seeing that everyone in the Holy Lance Squad wanted to go back, Arthur stammered, not knowing how to start.

He actually preferred to continue the investigation. After all, wasn't there nothing wrong? But if he said so, although these people would not object, they would definitely have a grudge, which would be detrimental to the investigation.

Never mind, never mind. Plans are not as good as changes. Now that I have developed fear in my heart, staying here will only make the fear more severe.

Just when Arthur decided to leave and was thinking about how to explain when he returned, a strange phenomenon occurred.

"Boom~"

A distant and sacred bell sounded, accompanied by a faint Hallelujah in the ears, and a pillar of light that pierced the sky and the earth suddenly appeared from the distance.

The soft light that burst out from the beam of light in an instant broke through the white clouds above the sky. After a moment, all that was left between heaven and earth was the clear blue sky and the dazzling white light.

It was very strange. Although it was daytime, the white light emitted by the beam of light still suppressed the bright sunlight. Throughout Volgograd, and even in some Eastern European countries, people could see this white beam of light that penetrated the sky and the earth as long as they looked up.

Two or three seconds after the light column appeared, white light that was no less intense than the light column suddenly burst out from both sides of the upper part of the column, radiating out to both sides until it faded and disappeared.

From a distance, it looked like a giant white cross connecting the sky and the earth, a Protestant cross that appeared on the territory of the Orthodox Church...

But no one dared to question it, after all, they all believed in God. At this moment, anyone who saw this scene, no matter where they were, was speechless or in tears.

The earth fell into silence, with the only sound between heaven and earth being the whistling sound of the wind caused by the bursting of energy.

The sacred scene was extremely short. In just a few seconds, the cross emitting endless light collapsed into a sky full of white stars and then melted into the sky and earth.

This scene is brief yet eternal.

The humans illuminated by the white light felt warm and comfortable all over, especially those in the Holy Spear Squad. The holy light in their bodies even surged under the white light.

It is enough to offset half a year of hard training, and even half a year of hard training may not necessarily increase this much holy light energy.

"What...what is that?" Matvey's voice trembled a little, as if he was shocked and excited.

"If I'm not mistaken, that's a cross." Arthur's expression was serious, as if he was really answering questions for his teammates.

Matvey: "..."

I just want to hear your words. The last time I heard this kind of nonsense was last time.

"That... I mean..."

"It looks like we can't leave." Arthur suddenly interrupted Matvey and turned to look at everyone who was looking at him. "Whether the scene just now is related to us or not, we need to go over and find out the situation."

"We don't have time to report this to the emperor. After all, we are not the only ones who saw what happened just now. The emperor may already know about it."

"We have the power of Holy Light and are the best pathfinders, so just report via radio. The most important thing now is to rush over and see what's going on, so that others don't get there first!"

"After all, no one can be sure that the people who saw this scene didn't have other thoughts."

Arthur's words were very tactful, but also very true. Although he didn't say it explicitly, everyone understood it.

After all, people's bad nature is still there, and it is impossible for everyone to be a believer in God. If someone arrives at the location of the cross light column earlier than them, who knows what those people will do.

The area where the cross with the beam of light burst out might become a check-in spot for internet celebrities. Not to mention that there are no internet celebrities in other countries, some people would do anything crazy just to become internet celebrities and make a living from it.

In order to prevent the sacred place from being desecrated, they had to get there first, so the time was short and they were in a hurry.

The people with a unified plan did not stay for too long, but hurried back to where the armored vehicle was. For some reason, the armored vehicle was not damaged, and even the paint on the vehicle did not fall off. This was a lucky thing.

A moment later, the roar sounded again, and the armored vehicle carrying the people with heavy hearts sped towards the place where the light column dissipated.

………………

The wasteland, the plains, the underground.

Below the mountains is an endless plain, and below the plain is the underground that is never exposed to sunlight. In the dark underground there is a unique food chain.

Those insects that cannot see the light live underground their entire lives. The lives of these little creatures are so simple and pitifully simple that even "born in the morning and die in the evening" is not enough to describe it. After all, they cannot even experience being born in the morning, so how can they experience dying in the evening?

A tiny bug with a simple nervous system is digging a long, narrow channel in the soil. This may be a place for it to live, or a small tunnel leading to somewhere else.

The rustling sound could not travel far underground. The little bugs were still digging the soil tirelessly until they were blocked by a strange stone.

The stone was a little warm, but the temperature was very low and not as hard as before. However, the little bug could not understand this. After all, its single nervous system could only give simple reflexes.

After being blocked, the little bug can only change direction and continue its simple work, repeating the action of digging up the soil.

In the darkness, the warm stone suddenly moved slightly, and then a little mouse suddenly jumped over, digging the soil frantically with its two front paws, and caught the little insect in its claws that had no idea what was happening.

“Crunch, crunch~”

The little bug, which had not yet finished digging the soil, entered the stomach of the little mouse in just a few seconds. The little mouse licked its claws, which were still stuck with bug residue, and then shook the whiskers on the upper part of its upper lip.

Whiskers are the most sensitive of a mouse's tactile organs. They will react to the slightest contact with an object. In the dark, whiskers also act as radar.

After a while, the little mouse seemed to have received some instructions and began to dig the soil underground with its little claws, digging in the direction of the ground above.

The skill of digging holes can be said to be engraved in the genes of mice. Those that cannot dig holes are embarrassed to be called mice.

It didn't take long for the little mouse to push away the mud blocking its head and poke its thin, furry body out of the cave.

After shaking off the dirt on its gray fur, the little mouse twitched its whiskers, and suddenly a humanistic light flashed in its eyes.

After identifying the environment on the spot, the little mouse suddenly rushed out in one direction.

There was a thick explosion of darkness there, and with a slight sense one could tell that it was the dark energy emitted by the Corpse King.

Although it is easy to sense if you are too close to the Corpse King, the more important thing now is why the Corpse King suddenly bursts out with such strong energy.

It's like being in a battle with someone, this might be an opportunity.

Although the little mouse was small in size, it was quite fast. However, before it could reach the scene, a violent darkness suddenly erupted and spread a thousand meters away.

A gust of wind knocked the little mouse to the ground before it could run over. The little mouse hurriedly grabbed the ground with its claws to avoid being blown away.

This is only a thousand meters away. If you are caught in the erupting dark wave, you may be corroded before you can react.

The little mouse's dark eyes were filled with a human-like confusion. What happened? Why did such a strong dark corrosive aura suddenly erupt?

Could it be that the Corpse King was defeated and blew himself up? No, that was impossible. The Corpse King was so powerful that he couldn't even escape. He was completely imagining that he was forced to self-destruct.

After the wind and waves died down, the little mouse that had stuck itself to the ground suddenly jumped out again, determined to go over and see what had happened.

Even if there is danger!

But before he ran far, a magnificent and long bell sounded, accompanied by a faint Hallelujah.

The moment the little mouse heard the bell, his body froze and he looked in the direction of the bell in disbelief. Then, holy light lit up and a cross of light connected the sky and the earth.

"!!!"

In the darkness underground, Alexei suddenly opened his eyes which had been tightly closed. His light blue eyes were filled with panic and fear.

What did he just see? A huge cross emitting endless light. Before he had time to think, the little mouse he possessed was purified!

He didn't even have time to turn around and run away!

Feeling the cold and thick soil around him, Alexei's heart finally slowed down. It would be a lie to say he was not afraid. After all, that was the light that restrained their darkness!

Fortunately, his body was still underground, and the light from the cross could not shine here, otherwise he would have been seriously injured if he had not died.

After a moment, Alexei calmed down and suddenly thought of a possibility. Perhaps the place where the cross appeared... was the seal he was looking for!
