At the end of the passage, two sarcophagi lay quietly, and a stone tablet stood tall. In front of the tablet was a huge dark blue sword, emitting a faint light.

"Stella, go and see what's in that sarcophagus."

Link ordered. Stella was very brave. She immediately stepped forward and gently pushed open the lid of one of the sarcophagi. Inside lay a shriveled corpse, which was obviously very old.

Seeing this, Link also walked forward and opened another sarcophagus.

However, when he saw the scene inside the sarcophagus, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Because lying inside was actually a stunningly beautiful "female corpse".

Her face was extremely beautiful, and although her skin was pale, it showed no signs of decay.

She closed her eyes tightly, as if she had fallen into a deep sleep. Her silver hair fell like a waterfall, she was wearing an extremely luxurious battle armor, and she was holding a dark red sword tightly in her hand. The sword had been baptized by the years, but it was still as sharp as ever.

"Is this... really a female corpse?"

Link was full of doubts. He looked at the "female corpse" carefully, trying to find any signs of life from her body. However, apart from the face that seemed to be sleeping, he found nothing.

"Lillian, what's written on the stone tablet?" Link turned to look at Lillian who was studying the stone tablet and asked.

Lillian's eyes slowly moved on the stone tablet, interpreting the text on it word by word: "This is the mausoleum arranged by the first vampire priest of the Anasta Cult, 'Kara'... The demon general Carlisle was seriously injured on the battlefield. Before he died, he was willing to use his flesh and blood, together with the thousands of demon soldiers under his command who died on the battlefield, and the vampire archbishop to guard the Anasta Cult's Moon Holy Sword..."

"Demon General Karisar? Vampire Archbishop Kara? Holy Sword of the Moon?" Link frowned. These names and things were unfamiliar to him, a visitor from another world.

He looked at Violina beside him and found that she also had a look of surprise on her face.

"What's wrong, Violina, do you know this Carlisar?" Link asked.

Violena nodded and said solemnly, "Lord Link, don't you know? This is a story that almost every household in the North knows."

Hearing this, Link smiled bitterly: "Oh... I am an orphan, and no parents have told me these stories since I was a child."

Violena's eyes flashed with sympathy when she heard this. She said softly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Link. Let me tell you about it."

Link waved his hand, indicating that she shouldn't worry about it.

Violena took a deep breath and began to tell the ancient and legendary story: "Hundreds of years ago, the demons attacked the Central Plains. They were very powerful, and the most outstanding among them were the so-called 'Seven Great Demon Generals' of the demons, who were later called the Seven Demon Gods. Among these seven demon gods, the most powerful one was General Karisar."

"It is recorded in the Holy Book that at that time, there were eleven brave warriors from various tribes. They braved all kinds of difficulties and fought a desperate battle with the seven great demon gods. The battle lasted for four days and five nights, and the sky and the earth were cracked and collapsed. In the end, the brave warriors defeated the seven great demon gods and killed the last six demon gods on the spot. Although the great demon god Karisar escaped from the brink of death, he was also seriously injured and will not live long."

"And this Kara is the first vampire high priest of the Anasta Cult. She possesses great power and wisdom. It is said that when Carlisar was on the verge of death, she offered to guard the Moon Sword with Carlisar to protect the sacred object of the Anasta Cult."

"The Holy Sword of the Moon?" Link repeated the name again, his heart full of curiosity.

Violena continued, "Yes, the Moon Sword. Legend has it that whoever obtains it will have the right to inherit everything of the Anastasiya Cult and become the successor of the Demon God. However, for thousands of years, no one has ever seen the true appearance of this holy sword. It seems to have become a legend, a mysterious existence that only exists in people's mouths."

Having said this, Violina suddenly paused, her eyes falling on the last line of bold font on the stone tablet.

She had not explained this line of words before.

"Lillian, what does the last line of words on the stone tablet mean?" she asked.

110. Get Him

"Ugh..."

Lillian's sigh echoed in the empty stone chamber, carrying a hint of unspeakable heaviness.

She slowly read out the heart-wrenching ancient text on the stone tablet: "Whoever sees the holy sword, your fate is already determined. Pull out the holy sword and become the Son of God, or bear the curse and turn into a corpse..."

As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere in the stone chamber froze instantly, and everyone felt the invisible pressure. Ashaji and Ingrid looked at each other, with uneasy light flashing in their eyes.

"This..." Ashaji said, her voice trembling, "It means that if you encounter this sword, you must pull it out. If you can't pull it out, you will die. If you choose to leave, you will also die...?"

Lillian nodded and her eyes fell on the sarcophagus behind the stone tablet. The ancient characters on the sarcophagus were emitting a faint blue light, as if telling some ancient secrets.

"Didn't you notice? Since we entered this stone chamber, the ancient characters on the sarcophagus have been shining with a strange light. I think this should be a magic similar to resurrection..."

Ingrid frowned. She looked at the sarcophagus and felt an inexplicable uneasiness in her heart: "Resurrection? How is it possible? This is ridiculous."

"It's not about the real resurrection," Lillian explained, "but... making the corpse move and become a ghoul. Have you heard of it?"

Ashaji and Ingrid looked even uglier when they heard this.

They have witnessed too many incredible things along the way, but the existence of corpse ghosts still makes them feel quite uneasy.

Lillian continued, "All the mummies we saw along the way were wearing armor and carrying weapons. Those frost-biting spiders were probably just to prevent ordinary people who didn't know about it from entering here. They were the first screening barrier here. The pink ladies were the second barrier. The real test was these mummies. They were the ultimate means to deal with adventurers."

She paused and looked at the two sarcophagi again. "Just imagine how strong Carlisle must be to be able to escape from the eleven strongest warriors. If he were to resurrect as a ghoul now, how could we escape? Besides, there's also the vampire high priest..."

As soon as the words fell, everyone heard a slight rustling sound.

They looked in the direction of the sound and saw magical power flowing through the bodies of the mummies before them, as if they were about to "resurrect".

However, what no one expected was that the first person to be resurrected was not Carrisar, but the vampire high priest next to him!

In other words, she was not really dead from the very beginning!

The True Ancestor Kara suddenly opened her scarlet eyes, and her body turned into countless bats, flying above the cave.

She re-condensed her body in mid-air, and looked down at them from above, as if she were looking down at ants.

"Fire bomb!" Lillian immediately released magic, but it couldn't cause any damage at all. The scorching fire bomb was easily annihilated by the opponent just by flicking his sleeves.

"Quick! Run!"

Lillian immediately realized that she was no match for the other party.

Link also felt an unprecedented sense of oppression. This True Ancestor Kara was definitely stronger than him!

"No more hesitation." Link took a deep breath, his eyes became firm, "Stand away, I'll try!"

Now, the only way to survive is to use the Holy Sword. The reason why the opponent did not launch an attack is probably because he is waiting for a choice.

Asha and Ingrid tried to dissuade him, but Link had already grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands. At that moment, deep blue magic vibrated from the sword, as if the entire stone chamber was shaken by this power.

In fact, Link's action was not a momentary impulse.

The system had told him before that he had become the one favored by that mysterious being.

If he died here, wouldn't this title be too cheap? Moreover, he had a hunch that this sword might have been left here just for him.

The moment he grasped the sword, Link felt a powerful energy pouring into his body from the sword. The entire dark blue giant sword seemed to contain an entire galaxy, and the energy flowing on the sword exuded an indescribable mysterious aura.

This unknown energy began to gradually invade Link's body, colliding violently with his power.

The two energies bit and pulled at each other in his body, and Link felt an unbearable pain. He clenched his teeth, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead. In a trance, he seemed to see the scenes of Carlisle's life in the Moon Holy Sword.

He was a brave warrior, loyal to his race, and believed in the gods at the top. In order to allow his people to get out of the desolate glaciers in the north, he resolutely led the army to start a war, wanting to reclaim a new land for future generations. However, everything was destined to dissipate like smoke and dust. Carlisle was seriously injured in the war and eventually fled to this cave. Together with the high priest Kara, he inserted the holy sword into the stone wall and sealed the cave entrance with his own life to prevent foreign invasion.

【Attention! Unknown energy intrusion detected! 】

At this moment, the system's voice sounded in Link's mind.

【Attention! The unknown energy has been automatically absorbed and converted into the corresponding number of extractions! 】

[Congratulations! You have obtained the number of draws × 5! ]

As the unknown energy was transformed, the conflicting forces in Link's body gradually calmed down. He felt an unprecedented power surging in his body, which was the power given to him by the holy sword.

At this moment, the Moon Holy Sword in his hand no longer seemed so heavy.

Link pulled the holy sword out of the crevice with a gentle tug. It was a giant sword with a pale blue glow, and the blade was beautiful and deep, just like the Moonlight Greatsword in the Dark Souls series of games, except that it was more ornately decorated.

Link swung the sword gently, and the light blue energy on the sword suddenly surged and turned into a sword energy, which hit the stone wall in front of him heavily along the direction of his swing. After a loud bang, a deep sword mark was left on the extremely hard stone wall.

"Lord Link, are you okay?" The people behind him gathered around nervously. They looked at the holy sword in Link's hand, with awe in their eyes.

Link shook his head to show that he was fine. He turned to look at the corpse in the sarcophagus, only to see that the strangely flowing blue energy had dissipated. Soon, the mummy turned into ashes like smoke and dust blown by the wind.

"Karisar, he completed his final duty..." Link said with emotion.

As soon as he finished speaking, the high priest, the true ancestor of vampires, Kara, who had been standing proudly above the cave, actually flew down obediently and knelt respectfully at Link's feet.

"Carla Cromwell, the goddess's favored one, is willing to serve you."

"Get up."

Link threw the holy sword directly into the King's Treasure, as well as the armor and the black and red sword left by Carlisle, which were obviously good things. Link was not polite and threw the equipment directly into the King's Treasure, ready to take it away.

However, at this moment, a rumbling sound suddenly came from outside the cave. Everyone's face changed, and when they looked up, they saw that the cave ceiling began to break and the entire cave room began to collapse.

"Kara, what's going on?"

"It's the protection mechanism of the holy land. You took down the holy sword, so this place is beginning to collapse. Sir, follow me."

"Hurry! Everyone, follow me!"

Link shouted, and hurriedly took a few people and followed Kara to escape from the Screaming Cave.

As soon as they ran out, the entire cave behind them collapsed and was completely buried.

A group of people stood outside the cave, looking at the buried cave entrance, their hearts filled with gratitude for surviving the disaster.

What they didn't know was that the moment they drew out the holy sword, a huge wave had already been set off in the entire northern territory.

......

At the same time, on the Palenque Snow Mountain in the north, in the great temple of the Anasta religion, the high priest Camilla, who was praying, suddenly opened her eyes. There was a strange light flashing in her eyes, as if she had seen something incredible.

"What's wrong, High Priest Camilla?" A succubus-like woman with two horns on her head asked beside High Priest Camilla. She was the current king of the demon clan, Srutile, a purebred succubus.

High Priest Camilla took a deep breath and said slowly: "Srutile, my king, just now, the goddess sent down an oracle. The Moon Sword has chosen a master, and the other party... is a human!"

"What? Where is he?" Slutile was shocked when she heard that. She didn't expect that the Moon Holy Sword would choose a human as its master.

"It's in the northern border of the Seven Shields Alliance!" replied High Priest Camilla.

There was a cold light in Srutile's eyes.

"The empire has been silent for countless years. The holy war is imminent. The gods will definitely fight for this favored one! We must not let this human be taken away by other goddesses! Pass the order, all the gods' servants will go out to find and bring back the brave Anasta holding the holy sword! The empire has deployed its troops in the northern border, ready for battle at any time!"

"Yes!" A divine servant responded and quickly conveyed Srutiler's order.

At the same time, in the Seven Shields Alliance, the high elf high priestess Celestine, who was regarded as the reincarnation of the goddess Leliantia, was also pacing back and forth in the temple, looking a little anxious.

She felt the unusual movement of the Moon Holy Sword and felt vaguely uneasy.

"The Moon Sword actually chose a human as its master..." Celestine murmured to herself, "Is this good or bad? Goddess Leliantia, please guide me on the way forward..."

During her devout prayer, Celestine actually received the will of the goddess.

【Get him! 】

【Get him at all costs! 】

"Yes, my goddess!"

And in the farther western forest, the queen of the dark elves, Aulica Disclentia, also awakened from her slumber.

She felt the familiar yet unfamiliar power fluctuation, and an inexplicable premonition surged in her heart.

"The Moon Sword... was pulled out..." Queen Orica whispered, her eyes became deep and complicated, "It seems that this continent is going to have another good show..."

Afterwards, she quickly issued a series of orders to mobilize the elite forces of the dark elves to prepare for the coming storm.

As various forces began to stir, the northern border of the Seven Shields Kingdom suddenly became turbulent.

Those naughty gods have quietly cast their gazes, and a new round of games is about to begin.

In this game, can Link survive this storm? How will he face the upcoming challenges? Everything is still unknown...

111. The Millennium Virgin

Along the way, Kara kept wearing the dark hood, hiding her face in the shadows, and followed Link silently, her steps light and silent.

As the true ancestor of vampires and the first high priestess, her strength is unfathomable. She can even walk freely under the scorching sun, but her aversion to the sun is deeply rooted in her soul like a brand.

Whenever the sun shone, she would frown unconsciously, as if it was a blasphemy to her existence.

During the journey, she concealed all her sharpness and majesty, like an extremely ordinary maid. When Link took a nap, she would even quietly hand him a water bottle, and with her seemingly weak but actually powerful hands, she would gently hold up his head and feed him water.

Stella, Lillian and others always kept their distance and vigilance.

Their eyes were filled with fear of Kara, and they took every step carefully, not daring to comment at all, for fear of angering this ancient demon. They knew very well that they were able to walk here safely because of Link's existence.

It was Link who pulled out the legendary holy sword and became a brave warrior of the demon clan, and also the one favored by the goddess Anasta. This honor and identity made Kara restrain her arrogance and murderous intent, and walked with them in a relatively gentle manner.

When Link and his companions finally set foot on the land of Taka Village, the sky had already darkened.

The outline of the village gradually blurred in the night, with only a few lights flickering in the distance, as if guiding them.
