Quit the team, then picked up a beautiful girl with problems

"So, can you wake him up?"

Leon felt that the system's prompt of being in a blocked state should be the guards' souls maintaining the integrity of the ancient creation, and this device was created around Diana, so she might have a way.

The fairy girl nodded, and her usually watery eyes now showed a look of determination.

However, she also reminded that doing so is dangerous and everyone should be prepared.

So, go into the water again.

However, there might be danger this time, so Leon did not let the girls go with him. Only he and Farina accompanied Diana down.

Coming to the bottom of the water again, Diana approached the ancient creation and gently pressed her hand on it.

The light of the star soul emerged from the surface of her body. These lights did not turn into runes, but were immediately absorbed by the runes. Then, the hard objects buried in the gaps between the water plants, lake mud and the branches of the towering trees began to emit golden light.

This light was exactly the same as that of the rune stone and the ruins of Satus Island. Countless runes flashed in the brilliant light. Then, waves surged at the bottom of the lake, and the mud and water were agitated. Something was about to reappear.

Leon and Farina looked at each other, held up their protective gear and floated up. This thing looked like it was about to break through the water, so it seemed there was no need for an underwater battle.

After the two left the lake, Li Ang immediately said to the members who wanted to surround him, "Don't come over, take your places!"

They had put on their equipment and weapons and were now lined up on the lakeshore.

The clear lake water was suddenly filled with silt, and as the golden light exploded, several metal objects engraved with runes suddenly broke out of the water.

It does not have a complete form at the moment, because the things it relies on have been destroyed in ancient times. These fragments are suspended around a bright star full of magic power. That star must be the "soul" refined by the ancient people.

Leon switched his spiritual vision. The complexity of this soul star was no less than that of an intelligent life form. It sent out spiritual lines and immediately noticed Diana.

And the next moment, its hostility was immediately established.

From its perspective, Leon and others should not be around Diana. He, Farina and the girls are all excluded.

The rune fragments rotated at high speed. They could not form a complete body, but they pulled up natural matter.

Some of the surrounding natural forces and spiritual plants were pulled out and attracted here, trying to build the body of this guard.

Li Ang unfolded the panel and the content just displayed had changed.

【Shenmu Guard】

[Ancient chains bind the sleepless soul, bound to protect its master]

[Species: Creature·Undead·Elemental Creature [Temporary]]

【Battle Wisdom

Servant: None

[Energy Source: Star Soul Light, Level 9]

[Body Strength: Eternal Iron, Level 9. Natural Temporary Body, Level 7]

[Special Attack: Divine Guardian's Devotion]

[Skills: Divine Servant's Martial Arts, Divine Power Crushing]

[Combat Power Increase: 15%]

This information immediately reminded Leon of his first official enemy on Satus Island - the Shenyan Guards.

However, the Divine Rock Guard was an elemental creature summoned by the Earth Serpent, while the one in front of him was an ancient creation.

But it also has something in common with the Divine Rock Guards, that is, using external objects to replenish its body. Since the Earth Snake is very weak, its guards rely on earth and rocks, while the one in front of him wants natural things to replenish himself.

Their power is similar to that of the Star Soul Lord, and the ability to control them is probably naturally set within the Star Soul's memory, so the Earth Serpent is born to control this kind of thing.

If there was a complete group of ancient 9th-level guards in the ruins at that time... Forget it, Li Ang didn't want to think about this problem.

The guard in front of him, after attracting some plants and trees, immediately became a human form.

It is obviously more troublesome than the situation where the Shenyan guards cannot use any moves.

Farina had already made her move. She immediately gathered a dragon flame fireball with a diameter of more than two meters and threw it at the Shenmu guards. The raging fire exploded along with the destructive dragon power, instantly burning most of the guards' temporary bodies.

The temporary body relies on plants, but is strengthened by the light of the star soul and has reached level 7. It is not so easy to completely defeat it.

The guards of the sacred tree had already turned those ancient fragments called Eternal Iron, which were engraved with runes, to form the main defense and extinguish the subsequent fireballs.

Leon grabbed the demon's arm. Now was the time to test its strength.

He thought about it and stretched out his hand to shake hands with the Shenmu guard.

Spiritual piercing.

The destruction at the fundamental level instantly caused the soul star of the Divine Tree Guard to tremble violently. The condensed magic star was like being punched with countless holes, violently spewing beams of star flames in all directions.

Farina cast a spell again, this time it was a dragon flame fireball, a flaming wreath, and a fire feather. The scorching-winged dragon she summoned in the distance also spewed flames to cooperate with the attack.

At this moment, the previous defense of the Shenmu Guards seemed to be completely ineffective. They were hit hard by the flames and collapsed directly on the lakeshore.

263. Under the Blue Sky

After the spiritual level was destroyed, the plant and wood exteriors of the Divine Tree Guards lost the characteristics of pure magic matter, were ignited by Farina's flames, and gradually burned to ashes.

Leon retracted the Demon Hand. Its effect was better than he expected, catching him off guard.

Seeing this, Farina raised her eyebrows.

She had seen the six-armed demon perform piercing attacks on Leon, and it felt strange to see this move being used by her companion.

"We don't have to do anything about this?" Zoe asked from a distance.

Li Ang nodded to the team members, asking them to be prepared was just a precautionary measure. If a serious battle really came up, they could only plunder the enemy's formation.

The sacred tree guard was not completely dead yet. After its natural body was burned, the rune remains were still slowly rotating under the control of the power of the soul star core.

It raised an ash-like arm and stretched it toward Diana, then dropped it powerlessly.

Yueyintu watched all this silently and sighed softly: "Is the spell that will eventually touch the forbidden power going to reappear again?"

The Star Soul of the Creation Tree lowered its head, flapped its wings, and flew up, slowly moving towards the ancient guards.

Li Ang and his party also followed.

Seeing the arrival of the Creation Tree Star Soul, the soul light of the Divine Tree Guard trembled a few times. The remaining light was like flying insects flocking towards the light source, like a swaying firefly, swaying and trying to get closer, but was bound in the rune wreckage and unable to escape.

Seeing humans approaching, the souls of the sacred tree guards emitted strong light, trying to drive away these approaching mortals for the star soul.

Alulu raised her shield in front of the girls to prevent it from suddenly attacking.

However, it was originally a damaged body, and even if it slowly recovered over a long period of time, it could not accumulate much strength. After being hit in the core by Leon's spiritual penetration, it no longer had the strength to rise again.

Diana clasped her hands in front of her chest and sang softly to the sound of wind chimes, like a song and a cry.

Zoe relayed what Diana said.

Thank you for everything you have done. No one can bind us under this sky anymore. Please rest in peace.

The soul of the sacred tree guard trembled, and then burned fiercely, as if deliberately exhausting the last of its strength to bloom with brilliance.

"It's trying to break free from that thing." Farina said, looking at the rune wreckage.

The soul, like a blue star, beat violently, but was still bound tightly by the rune chains.

Diana reached out and released the power of nature, trying to untie it, but her power was simply integrated into the runes and could not produce the corresponding effect.

Aqua said, "This magic program was set long ago to prevent the release of the power of the same star soul."

Leon frowned, walked forward and touched the rune remains.

[Hint: Discover the Creation Equation [Fractional], the blockade is lifted, and you can collect it after breaking the imprisonment]

He expanded his spiritual vision and saw the spiritual structure on the fragments of the magic rune. He gently grasped it with his devil's hand, and all the restraints were released.

[Hint: The Creation Equation has been collected, and the collection progress is 25%]

The light with tiny runes dissipated in the air. Visually, it completely disappeared, but in fact, it was collected by the invisible "system".

The rune debris completely turned into a pile of waste. The trembling of the blue soul subsided, and it flew out of the wreckage. After circling Diana, it flew towards the sky and exploded into a ball of pure natural magic at high altitude, dispersing the nearby clouds.

As the magic power dissipated, the soul within it completely dissipated.

Everyone looked up at the blue sky and was silent for a moment.

The drifting magic power turned into warm light and slowly drifted towards the entire Mengze Island.

The grass and trees in the secret realm at the top of the tree that had been pulled by the sacred tree guards were nourished by this magical power, and new leaves sprouted again near the broken branches, regaining vitality.

Diana stared blankly at the drifting magic power, forgetting everything for a moment, as if she was recalling fragments of ancient times.

Even Dorothy could feel the nourishment these forces exerted on natural things. She spread her palms and looked around, whispering, "Does it want to protect Diana in the end?"

"maybe."

It seems that some of its actions are self-selected, but Leon is not sure how much self-will these guards will retain after being refined into soul star cores by the Deus people, so it is okay to have such a romantic imagination.

Zoe leaned over and asked, "Where does the soul go after it dies?"

In fact, I'm not going anywhere.

Whether it is the Earth or Newbis where Leon is now, there is no kingdom of the dead. After the end of life, the matter that makes up the body decomposes, the controlling magic power dissipates, and the spirituality disperses and returns to ordinary spirits, returning to nature.

Both worlds' knowledge of afterlife is imaginary.

However, Li Ang felt that it would be a bit of a letdown to say it so directly at this moment, so he stroked the kitten's head and said, "Perhaps it has entered reincarnation."

"Reincarnation?"

"It will be reborn as a human or an animal, or even a plant or flower, and will get a new life."

Ordinary girls of her age have already formed a preliminary view of life and death, but this guy is still like a little kid in many aspects, so Li Ang gave her a childish answer.

After he said this, not only Zoe, but also the other three people, and even Diana's disappointed expressions were relieved a lot.

The thing at the bottom of the lake is just an episode, but it gives people a glimpse of the ancient appearance.

It is hard to imagine the pain of such a guard. It is precisely because the people here are compassionate that they feel sad for its long-overdue death.

Leon was fine, or rather, with the experience of two worlds combined with Newbis's adventures over the years, he had seen quite a few things like this.

Like her, Farina smiled and looked at everyone with satisfaction as if she was looking at a child.

The rune fragments left behind by the Divine Tree Guards are still a material called "Eternal Iron" according to the system description. It is a material inferior to refined source material and is produced from the "Eternal Furnace". I wonder where this place is, or is it another name for the Furnace of Creation?

In case they could be used, Leon put them into his own dimensional rift.

The girls stayed by the side of the lost Diana. The Star Soul of the Creation Tree was probably in a very low mood because she recalled the ancient things, so they surrounded her and whispered to her.

After getting a chance to rest, Li Ang sat under a wooden table on the side, and Yueyintu lay on the table.

"How long have you been lying there?"

"Always, these things have nothing to do with me."

"You are so heartless."

"For the six dragons who support the world, this kind of thing is just like the rolling white clouds we see every day. It's just a natural part of the world's progress."

Yueyintu said like a calm passerby.

"The glory of the Dragonblood Empire, built on countless giant islands, the floating cities of the Stargazers, the rise and fall of human conquerors—all these events were said in an instant before it closed its eyes again.

Well, now he looks a bit like a god. But it's a pity that he was rolling on the ground before and people couldn't respect him at all.

Li Ang stretched and found a recliner to sleep on.

After Diana recovered her mood, the girls' time playing in the water began again.

However, the excitement has faded a lot. I estimate that it will take another day or two before I can embark on the journey again.

The laughter and noise in my ears were sometimes louder and sometimes weaker. Leon and Farina chatted about the past. Otto didn't come to see them for the time being, and time suddenly went by very slowly.

"By the way, do you know where Kitan is?" Farina asked.

Kitan is also an old member of Soul Apex and one of the people with the best relationship with Leon.

"Didn't you go back to your hometown after retirement?"

Since Farina asked this, Leon felt a little uncomfortable, because he really didn't visit his old friend. In the last few years of working at the New Soul Peak, there was not enough time and it passed quickly.

"His hometown seems to be an unknown small island..." Li Ang became more and more depressed as he spoke.

"He is in Qianta City now." Farina said with a smile.

"Maybe he's short of money? Anyway, I've applied to be a professor at the school."
