This isn't a souls-like game at all.

Focusing his attention on the branch in his hand, the rainbow-like leaves emitted a faint glow, and then rainbow-colored light patterns flowed out from them and sank into the depths of the void.

It was his first time using online props, and he was a little excited.

A moment later, his call was answered.

A colorful vortex lit up on the ground in front of him, and an illusory white spirit condensed from it, transforming into two human figures of different shapes.

"Dathgard Guards, White Feather Knights! Come as promised!"

"Unknown explorer, hymn seeker! Come as promised!"

Bai Yu, the White Feather Knight wearing leather armor and with a greatsword hanging on his waist, clenched his right fist and pounded it heavily on his chest, saluting Ye Yiyi.

The hymn teacher with a big beard, wearing chain mail and a bucket helmet, held the Morning Star Hammer horizontally in front of him and saluted Ye Yiyi.

If this were a game, he would have already learned two new moves.

"Welcome, White Feather Knight, and Hymn Seeker."

Ye Yiyi smiled and called the two people by their code names, then briefly explained the current situation to the two unknown heroes who came to assist.

"Shut down the Cursed Death Tower? I get it!"

Bai Yu's face was solemn. He drew a big sword from his waist and looked up at the sky vigilantly.

As a name-seeker who died at the hands of the Death Curse Legion, she knows better than anyone the power of the Deep Darkness.

In fact, she had once carried out an operation to destroy the Cursed Death Tower with her colleagues.

However, facing the completely immortal Abyssal Dead, the Royal Guards have never truly succeeded.

Being able to participate in the destruction of the Cursed Tower again after ten thousand years, Bai Yu had mixed feelings in his heart, and in the end, only a heavy sense of responsibility remained.

This is her unshirkable responsibility and mission.

"The Cursed Death Tower of the Lord of Life and Death?"

Big Beard died early in the war, so he didn't know anything about the Tower of the Damned, but after briefly asking Alice for confirmation, he took out the hymn book.

"Looks like I'm lucky. If we're targeting the so-called 'darkness', then this new hymn I learned should be of help."

He spread out the hymn book, then knelt on one knee, closed his eyes and muttered something.

A pale golden sacred halo with various mysterious symbols floating in it unfolded under him. The bearded man opened his eyes, stood up, holding the Psalm Book in his hand and raising the Morning Star Hammer in his right hand.

【Glorious Overcoming Disasters and Protecting the Dark】

The hymn from the Glorious Virgin Mary of Salvation was activated at this moment, and a pale golden sacred halo spread out to the surroundings, adding a layer of pale golden glow to the four people present.

"clang!"

The bearded man closed the Psalm Book and hung it around his waist.

"That's all." He nodded towards Ye Yiyi, "Please start."

"it is good."

Ye Yiyi looked down at the light golden glow on his body and thought that it should be the superior replacement of [Du'e Hu'an], [Glorious Du'e Hu'an].

The former's effect of improving the dark attribute damage reduction rate can only be applied to oneself, while the latter can not only improve our own characters, but also the improved dark attribute damage reduction rate is higher than the former.

Of course, as a primary hymn that can be used with 10 faith points, [Delivering Evil and Protecting the Dark] does not require too many points to be invested, and it is enough for players of the genre that does not add points to faith.

After confirming the effect of the hymn, he looked down at a raised stone brick in the center of the tower.

“What a simple and clear way to interact…”

The corners of his mouth twitched inexplicably, and he stepped forward and stood on the raised stone bricks.

"Click!"

As the stone bricks sank into the ground, a faint light intertwined with black and white extended from the stone bricks and sank along the ground into the surrounding steel walls.

"Pong!"

The ground beneath him slowly rose to the sky while trembling slightly. Countless black and white interwoven rays of light extended from the wall and turned from virtual to real in front of Ye Yiyi.

Out of thin air, it transformed into a black and white door covered with mysterious traces.

"White on the left, black on the right, representing the life and death power of the Lord of Life and Death. What a familiar look."

Ye Yiyi thought in his heart, his eyes fell on the junction of the black and white gates.

There is a round hole there, which is where the key to the secret door is inserted.

"I'm going to open the door," he said loudly.

"let's start."

Alice pulled out the melting sword from behind her, and together with the other two people, surrounded Ye Yiyi behind them.

"Destroy the Cursed Death Tower, Michaela!" Bai Yu said solemnly, "I will protect you with my own life!"

"call……"

Ye Yiyi exhaled slowly, took out the long metal stick from the four-dimensional chrysanthemum, and inserted it into the hole.

The key to the secret door turned into light and merged into the hole. The black and white door trembled slightly and slowly opened inward.

After ten thousand years, this secret door that no one had ever stepped into was finally opened.

Ye Yiyi looked up and then stepped into the door.

The three people behind him were also alert to their surroundings and slowly retreated behind the door.

Only when the black and white door slowly closed and the key popped out from the inside did everyone finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Have those stubborn living dead really given up the pursuit?"

Ye Yiyi frowned, pulled the key out of the door, and looked up at the sky.

The white ball of light still existed in the sky, but a thin spherical light curtain blocked the view, separating this place from the outside world.

There is no specific room behind the door, but it is still in the same place.

They were still on the raised platform and had not gone anywhere else.

"This is the technique of His Highness the Universal Light Master."

Alice looked around with a gloomy face, her eyes dark and sinister. "Even though Your Highness died because of them, they still used Your Highness's power to forge this space."

"The kings' magic is transparent and open. As long as you have the ability to learn it, no one will stop you." The bearded man sighed.

"But who knew that this very transparency would allow the power that once belonged to us to become an aid to our enemies?"

"This can't be helped..."

Alice sighed helplessly and turned to look at Ye Yiyi.

"Have you found the switch to destroy the Cursed Death Tower?"

"Found it." Ye Yiyi turned around with a complicated expression, "But... Alice, what you said before has come true now."

"What?" Bai Yu walked over with a sword in hand. Although this place was inaccessible, the female knight still did not give up her vigilance.

"To destroy this tower, we need to destroy all land within a 50-kilometer radius of the tower, including Fort Lupe.

"This also includes half of the Lupe Rainforest."

"What?" Bai Yu and Big Beard were shocked.

"It's exactly what I thought."

Ai Li walked forward without any surprise and looked at the light curtain composed of black and white light in front of Ye Yiyi.

On it was a topographic map, showing the scenes above and below the ground in real time.

Alice frowned and observed for a moment, then began to explain to everyone.

"The Cursed Death Tower is deeper than we imagined. It goes deep underground and is connected to a branch of winding vines.

"In other words, this tower is directly connected to the earth veins and has become a part of it. The vitality it draws from also comes from the earth veins."

“Is that so?!”

Bai Yu was shocked. At this moment, she was heading towards the Yinghui Temple and estimated that she would arrive there in a few days.

"Yi Yi, do you see that ball of light above us?" Alice pointed to the sky.

“I didn’t have time to explain it before, but now I’ll tell you, that’s the vitality that the Cursed Death Tower extracts from the earth veins.

"The lives of those on this land cycle through life and death. Their souls return to the earth veins, releasing all vitality, which is then fed back into the land and sky by the earth veins.

"New life is born from the nurturing of the previous generation, relying on the nourishment of the earth and the sky to blossom into the new fruits of life.

“This should have been a perfect cycle, but the appearance of the Cursed Death Tower caused some unexpected changes in this cycle.

"The vitality that the earth veins fed back to the earth was intercepted. Although it was not much, it accumulated into a terrifying amount over ten thousand years.

“That’s why the crops we see are sluggish.

"And that vitality—" Alice pointed at the large ball of light above her head, "can be transformed into an equal amount of profound darkness through the power of the Cursed Death Tower."

Ye Yiyi listened silently with a slightly gloomy expression.

"So, we can't destroy this tower?" The bearded man looked serious.

“If it were ten thousand years ago, this tower could be destroyed at the cost of a small section of earth vein.

"But now, no."

Alice shook her head slowly.

"The vitality accumulated over ten thousand years will, when the Cursed Death Tower is destroyed, destroy all land within a fifty-kilometer radius, along with all life on it."

"Gulu..."

Bai Yu swallowed silently, and the sound was clearly audible in the silent space.

"So, make your choices, one by one."

Alice gazed calmly into his eyes.

"It is to destroy the Cursed Death Tower before all this vitality is transformed into deep darkness.

"Or, do nothing and wait until the transformation of the abyssal darkness is complete, transforming all living beings on earth into the abyssal dead.

“The former dies, the latter lives.

"Choose."

Chapter 212 Eat it!

"Choose."

Alice's calm voice fell into Ye Yiyi's ears, as if it had nothing to do with life and death, and was just talking about a trivial matter.

Ye Yiyi remained silent for a long time.

How to choose this?

There is no choice at all!

Destroying the Cursed Death Tower is equivalent to killing indiscriminately and wiping out all life within a radius of fifty miles.

If the Tower of Death is not destroyed, the deep darkness will sooner or later transform and spread out, turning all the living beings on this earth into the deep dead.

No matter which one you choose, there will be no good ending.

The former died quietly, perhaps without much pain, but the latter lived a life worse than death!

The deep dead cannot have normal emotions, and their bodies are made of black fog. They can no longer be considered human beings, and they cannot even be considered alive!

And now, I have to choose between two hells that are no different?

"This……"

Bai Yu and the bearded man looked at each other, both frowning, not knowing what to say.

Bai Yu pursed his lips tightly, staring at the troubled Ye Yiyi, and suddenly said:

"This kind of thing shouldn't be decided by Michaela..."

"But the key to destroying the Cursed Death Tower lies in his hands."

The bearded man's dull voice came from the bucket helmet:
