The mastermind behind this started by creating a strange story

He didn't need to hide or consider possible problems. Since his strength increased, his confidence also increased simultaneously.

And the memory problem in his mind is the first target, everything else is meaningless.

Even if the glorious cross that connected heaven and earth destroyed all the subordinates he had arranged in Volgograd, that is, those resurrected corpses and skeletons.

Now, there are no more zombies and skeleton monsters in the entire wasteland, including nearby human gathering places.

However, the Corpse King was not surprised by this. After all, after the Glorious Cross disappeared, he lost the information about those subordinates.

Ignoring the chaotic energy turbulence around him, the Corpse King strode forward along the passage. Because of this, he did not notice Alexei's breath mixed in the dark energy.

After Alexi took back his dark energy in time, he hid himself further. If he didn't seek death, it would be difficult for the Corpse King to find him.

The Corpse King, who walked with the wind, reached the end in just a moment, and he also encountered the stone chamber with murals.

"This is……"

Touching the stone wall with shallow grooves, the Corpse King soon discovered that this was not formed naturally, but was the result of human carving.

The Corpse King frowned slightly. Although he didn't know whether this trace was related to his memory, he could still stop and take a look.

He did not integrate his own dark energy into the surroundings like Alexi did. Instead, he directly and domineeringly squeezed away the mixed energy around him, and then released the dark energy in his body to sense the surroundings.

However, only a powerful and energetic dog owner like him would do this.

But the Corpse King only took a quick glance and before he had time to take a closer look, the disgusting holy light suddenly became restless.

The holy light mixed with the dark energy seemed to have suddenly found its home. It gave up the darkness that was entangled with it and turned to flow in one direction.

This change directly agitated the dark energy, causing it to surge like boiling water.

Dark Energy: You and I have been entangled for a long time, and you are in me and I am in you, but you suddenly ran away with those people. I don’t agree!

Holy Light Energy: (?_?) Indifference.jpg

No matter how the dark energy entangled, the holy light energy still maintained its cold attitude and gathered upwards firmly.

Of course, the two energies do not have such rich emotions, but the changes caused by the changes will not disappear, and the results of the changes are.

Corpse King: (?Benefit?)

I just want to take a good look at the mural, why are you treating me like this!

The two turbulent energies directly collided with the third energy present, and the third energy was exactly the dark energy in the corpse king's body that he emitted to observe the surroundings.

The two mixed energies were relatively stable before, so he could expel them violently, but now the two energies began to collide violently. Although he could expel them, it was obviously not worth the loss.

In other words, it's not worth it.

And when the three different energies began to collide, his perception instantly went black, like an old antenna that couldn't receive any signals, although it would flash occasionally.

"Too deceiving!"

The Corpse King's face turned dark. Although it couldn't be seen in the dark, he was indeed very angry.

The flow of energy was still very obvious, both darkness and holy light were surging upwards. The Corpse King returned to the passage he had just come out of with a gloomy face, and strode upwards.

On the ground of the ruins, the Holy Spear Squad that had just arrived were sitting cross-legged, guiding the rich holy light energy into their bodies.

As a safety measure, Arthur and Melina eliminated the dark energy that came out with it, leaving only the holy light energy for the sparrows sitting on the ground to absorb.

They are not comparable to the Holy Spear Squad, so it doesn't matter whether they absorb the holy light energy or not, but for the Holy Spear Squad, this is an excellent resource for training.

Although it cannot compare to the brightness of the glorious cross at the beginning, it is better than nothing.

Holy light energy is different from dark energy. Dark energy is independent of each other. Different dark energies cannot absorb each other and can only guide resonance.

But the holy light energy is different. The holy light is very inclusive. Even different holy light energies can still be transformed and absorbed into each other.

Therefore, as soon as she arrived at the bottom of the crack, Melina, who had the strongest perception, discovered the rich holy light energy here.

Although it is a bit messy, it doesn’t matter, as long as we can separate the sand from the gravel.

After obtaining the pure and unmixed holy light energy, the Holy Spear Squad, as the pendants, will naturally not be polite, and this is also the main reason for the turbulent collision of underground energy.

Just as Melina was concentrating on eliminating the dark energy, the surging energy turbulence suddenly became violent.

"Bam—!"

With a loud bang, the entrance to the ruins that broke out of the ground was suddenly broken through by a black mist visible to the naked eye, and a mushroom cloud-like black mist rose from the ground.

The lifeless black fog exuded an ominous aura, completely suppressing the holy light energy that was supposed to fight against it, and then began to gradually erode it.

The Holy Spear Squad, which was still absorbing holy light energy, was awakened by the sudden movement. After seeing the scene clearly, their faces suddenly changed.

Chapter 328 No retreat

At the entrance of the broken ruins shrouded in black fog, a pair of scarlet lights lit up. With the cooperation of the surrounding black fog, it looked both weird and terrifying, like a demon from hell waiting for the opportunity to devour someone.

It’s not a demon from hell, but a corpse king with special effects. However, this time the special effects are not just light and shadow, but have real power.

Watching the corpse king coming out step by step, the people of the Holy Spear Squad took a deep breath of cool air with holy light and hid behind the two big guys with all their heart.

They have to hide, because the Lich King can kill them alone at any time. It's like encountering the final boss right after leaving the Novice Village. How can they beat the big boss without even defeating the experience monsters?

The skeleton zombies you fight on the road don’t count; they are at most random wild monsters, equivalent to slimes.

"You hide..." Melina, who had just asked the Holy Spear Squad to hide, didn't have time to finish her words before she saw that six people led by Matvey had already hidden behind her and Arthur.

The corners of her mouth twitched, Melina suppressed the urge to complain and hid behind Arthur. She was a support, and it was impossible for a support to stand in the front.

Seeing this scene, Arthur, the team's tank and fighter, had no choice but to summon his giant sword. He was tired, but there was nothing he could do.

"It's you again!"

The corpse king walked out of the black fog with a frosty face. Substantial black viscous liquid dripped from his hands, staining the soil under his feet black.

Looking at the cautious Arthur and the others, the Corpse King remained silent. The dead don't need to know too much.

He raised his hands which were dripping with sticky black water, and swung them downwards violently. With a clang, two shiny black Casas curved knives appeared instantly.

This is the curved sword used by the Casas swordsmen. The blade is thick and engraved with twisted patterns. To use it freely, one must have considerable strength and reaction speed.

However, this is nothing to the Corpse King whose strength has increased. He uses dual swords only to end the battle quickly.

Seeing that the Corpse King had summoned his weapons, Arthur felt something was not good. For some reason, he felt a strong sense of oppression from the Corpse King.

We were fighting back and forth a few hours ago, why did it suddenly become so much stronger? Is it because of this relic?

Before Arthur could finish his thoughts, the corpse king suddenly swung his two swords and jumped into the air, then turned around and slashed straight at him.

"Qiang!"

The blades collided with each other with a crisp sound. Arthur hurriedly raised his giant sword to defend himself when the corpse king slashed at him, but before he had time to think about the next counterattack, a huge force was transmitted from the sword.

The force of the impact that penetrated his body sent Arthur flying backwards, and with a loud bang he was hit into the hard cliff wall.

Before the Corpse King could make the next move, gravel suddenly flew everywhere on the dusty cliff, and Arthur rushed out from the cliff with his greatsword held high.

A bright light lit up, and the golden light dispelled the black fog that permeated the surroundings. Then the giant sword extended a ten-meter holy light sword body and slashed straight down.

The Corpse King still had a cold expression on his face, and he crossed his two swords to create a cross of pitch-black blade light.

The blade light and the saber light, the dark and the holy, the two different colors of slashes collided in the blink of an eye.

Two completely opposite energies exploded with a bang, and the Holy Spear Squad who were AFK on the side were already dumbfounded. The boss is the boss, and any of his skills can be a map cannon.

As the wave of energy was about to hit her, Melina hurriedly crossed her hands, clenched her fists, placed them on her chest, and lowered her head as if praying.

The platinum light was like an indestructible protective shield, which protected the surrounding pendants in a moment, and the turbulent energy turbulence was completely unable to break through the protective shield.

Just when Melina breathed a sigh of relief, a dark figure suddenly flew over and smashed the platinum protective shield with a snap, and also hit Melina who was behind the shield.

"Ahhhh!!!"

Suddenly attacked, Melina pushed away the black figure lying on top of her in fear. It was so dark, it definitely couldn't be... wait?

Looking closely, the black figure looked very familiar, very much like Arthur, but Arthur was not that dark.

"Pfft!"

Arthur vomited a mouthful of black blood and propped himself up with a slight tremor. Only then did Melina see clearly that there was a cross-shaped cut on Arthur's chest.

The wound was so deep that the bones were visible. The dark energy was corroding Arthur's body bit by bit through the wound. That was why Arthur's entire face was so black.

It's like he's become a different race.

"Hold on, Arthur!" When Arthur vomited a mouthful of black blood, Melina hurriedly put her hands on the wound on Arthur's chest.

Holy energy emerged from the palm of his hand, repairing the wound that was deep enough to see the bone bit by bit. However, the wound was not the most difficult part. The most difficult part was the dark energy that was attached to the bone.

The dark energy has penetrated deeply into the body. It will take some time to eradicate it, but what we lack most now is time.

Because the enemy will not allow her to heal slowly.

"call--"

A strong wind blew up, sweeping away the dust and haze that blocked the view, but in its wake was pure black fog.

Along with the black fog appeared the corpse king holding two swords. Compared with Arthur, the corpse king did not show any signs of injury, but there were some small cracks on the two swords in his hands.

But this gap was of no use at all, and the Corpse King did not make any movement. Sticky black water suddenly appeared on the blades of the two swords, and then the two swords were directly repaired without any signs of damage.

"You guys... run away quickly, I can still hold you back for a while!"

Arthur waved his hand to call back the giant sword that was knocked away, and then used the giant sword to support his body and stood up. At the same time, he interrupted Melina's treatment and stood alone in front of everyone.

The Corpse King was like a towering mountain blocking their way. They could neither defeat him nor retreat. They could only rely on their luck to escape.

But someone must cover the escape, and he is the only one who can hold them off for a moment.

"Escape? Do you want me to give up on you?" Melina stood up with a stern face, and without caring what Arthur said, she directly opened a circular platinum magic circle.

The magic circle emitting holy power blocked the pervasive black fog outside and repaired Arthur's damaged body at the same time.

"You know, I can't leave alone. Our fates are tied together."

"I shouldn't be the one to leave..." As she said this, Melina turned around and glanced at the Holy Spear Squad behind her. Her meaning was self-evident.

Seeing this scene, everyone in the Holy Spear Squad looked at Matvey, because he was the captain, and his responsibility was to make decisions and lead everyone in this situation.

Feeling the terrified gazes of his teammates, Matvey's Adam's apple rolled. Reason told him that he had to escape in the current situation and then notify the military for reinforcements, but emotion told him that escaping would mean giving up Arthur and Melina, and giving up the predecessors who led them.

"We...stay and never abandon our companions!"

He still said this in a hoarse voice. He could do nothing even if he stayed.

Hearing this, the five team members silently took out the special magazine. In a life-and-death situation, hiding it would be courting death.

Matvey also lowered his head, removed the magazine from his pistol, and replaced it with the special magazine. He actually hadn't said a word yet.

The chances of them escaping successfully and staying here to survive are the same, both are as tiny as a grain of sand in the Ganges. Rather than running away and leaving a bad impression on Arthur and the others, it is better to stay and increase their good impression and wait for a miracle to happen.

Even though they had to escape, and Arthur and the others were aware of the current situation, it was an indisputable fact that they had to give up on Arthur.

Although staying would be of no use and might even hinder them, this gesture of kindness could at least leave some trace in their hearts.

Choose the greater of two benefits, choose the lesser of two evils.

Seeing that the Holy Spear Squad did not flee but instead prepared for battle, Melina did not say anything but her eyes changed a little.

"Phew, get ready, it's coming!"

Although he didn't look back, Arthur, who understood the situation behind through the sound, spoke hoarsely to remind them.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred.

Chapter 329: God's Possession

Underground ruins, interior.

Although Alexei hid himself, he did not hold his breath and stand still. Instead, he continued to grope his way inside the ruins through the swarm of rats.

The interior of the ruins is not complicated, nor does it have too many twists and turns. You can just continue walking along the passage.

Alexi, who didn't know what was happening, didn't dare to release the black air to sense the surroundings. He was afraid that the Corpse King could also sense him.

Therefore, he could only continue walking along the road. Alexei's first impression of the underground ruins was that they were simple and clear. However, there was nothing wrong with this, at least he would not get lost.

A moment later, according to the feedback from the scouting rat, the passage was at the end, closed by a carved stone door.

Knowing that he was almost at the bottom, Alexei was no longer cautious and walked quickly towards the stone door. From the feedback from the mouse, he knew that there would be no problem if he touched the stone door directly, so Alexei reached out and groped his way through.

The stone gate is not big and only allows one person to pass through. There are no special words or pictures engraved on it, just some repetitive patterns.
