Star Forge Titan

"Ms. Maria, is your profession a Shadow Knight?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Maria, the deputy commander of the Knights Templar, appeared silently.

Because of the characteristics of her extraordinary job, she can travel through the shadow world, a sub-plane attached to the material world.

The children who were rescued before were transferred to a safe area by this means. As for Miss Boshia, she was being cared for or supervised by her.

"Ugh!" The half-elf female spy from the Genoa Confederation made an embarrassing sound as soon as she escaped from the shadow plane.

The disguise on her face had been removed, revealing a face with the unique beauty of an elf, but now it was extremely pale. Because of her overly sensitive perception, Miss Boshia was very unaccustomed to the shadow shuttle with the spatial transfer feature.

"I don't know who the other party is, so I hope you can use the light and shadow cloak ability mastered by the Shadow Knight to disguise yourself as Lord Ashram. This way, at least at the first moment, the other party will not dare to act rashly." Alvin explained.

As a former Palladio player, his understanding of different extraordinary professions far exceeds that of ordinary people, and he even knows about some very secret professions.

"Although I can imitate Ashram's appearance, I can't imitate his abilities." Maria frowned.

"It doesn't matter. If I'm not mistaken, the other party should be in a bad condition now and will definitely not take the risk of fighting with a fourth-level strongman easily." Alvin said thoughtfully.

"Okay, Ashram asked us to follow your command, which means he trusts you, so we trust you too." Maria shrugged, and the shadow under her rolled up and quickly wrapped around her body.

When the shadow retreated again, the one standing in the same place was the leader of the Black Knights, the fourth-order Cursed Knight - Ashram Belia.

"Ahem, let's, ahem, let's go!" Maria coughed lightly and turned the originally gentle female voice into Ashram's slightly hoarse and magnetic voice.

Great.

Alvin nodded secretly. The light and shadow cloak could only change the appearance but not the voice. This was obviously a false voice technique that the other party had learned by himself.

"Everyone, pull down your armor and don't show yourself. Let's go and see who caused such a big fuss." Looking at Bo Xia, whose face was still pale, Ivan's eyes clearly showed a threat.

The latter consciously raised her hand in front of her mouth and made a zipper-like gesture. Obviously, she knew that if she dared to say anything nonsense, she would be killed immediately.

The Silver Knights silently followed Maria, disguised as 'Ashram', and quickly descended into the pit.

Soon, they saw Gaius standing in front of a gradually weathering and shattered corpse, a smile on his face. Another young necromancer in a black robe also stood three steps behind him, a smile on his face.

"You took down a fourth-level enemy so quickly? You are indeed worthy of being the former war hero, Sir Gaius Marius." Maria, who was wearing the appearance of Ashram, said with a tone that seemed to praise but was actually skeptical.

Next, there was nothing suspicious about the other party's response.

But Alvin used his golden eyes to see some clues.

From the beginning of the conversation until now, the other person's hands have always remained in a naturally drooping position, only occasionally raising his left hand, which also appeared very weak.

So, he took the initiative to show himself before the old wizard who called himself 'Gaius Marius'.

His half-long, slightly curly black hair flowed down his back like a lion's mane. The tall and handsome young man wore silver-blue full-body armor, held a scarlet longsword, and stared at Gaius Marius with eyes that shone with a bright light like molten gold.

The other person's expression didn't change at all. He just looked at him for a moment, as if nothing had happened.

"Who are you?" Alvin was not blinded by appearances. He took a step forward, and the primitive magic power flowing in his body rushed into his eyes.

The scene before his eyes suddenly brightened, and countless secrets were seen through by the young man's eyes. The scarred skin on the old wizard's face was also peeled off, revealing another unfamiliar face as pale as a corpse and covered with wrinkles of aging.

Lucius Sura, the great undead wizard who had chased Ivan and Afrediya for thousands of miles, appeared in front of the black-haired boy for the first time.

"Me? Of course I am Gaius Marius. Young man, who are you?" The old wizard forced a smile.

"Heh, who am I?" Alvin snorted coldly, and a sharp arc as cold as a knife appeared at the corner of his mouth.

After staring for a moment, the combination of [Telepathy] and [Eye of Vidoflnir] allowed him to discover that the other person's soul had been partially torn apart! That was why the two arms hung limply, barely able to move.

"Justice may be late, but it will never be absent."

The tall, black-haired boy slowly took off his silver mask and stared at the old wizard with his eagle eyes that shone like the golden sun.

All the evil deeds I saw along the way, along with a long-buried anger, all surfaced in my heart.

"And I am the punishment you deserve!"

Holding the red flaming sword high, the light in Ivan's eyes seemed substantial, and the burning rage turned into a shocking and loud roar.

"Evil demon! Face me!"

Hearing this, Gaius's face changed drastically, his eyes widened, and he took several steps back, clutching his chest.

Facing those golden eagle eyes, he felt an indescribable burning sensation erupting from within his body.

The purifying energy bestowed by God!

Damn it! Isn’t that old ghost Patrick fighting with other priests of the Undead Cult in the city?

Could it be that……

That pair of golden eyes is like the eagle eyes of Vidoflnir, the blue king soaring in the highest zenith, looking down at the world. It can see through all the secrets of the world and bring the flame of punishment down on the head of the evil demon being stared at.

"You are Odin's covenantee!"

Inhuman screams emanated from the old wizard's mouth.

Along with it came a large amount of purifying energy forcibly converted from his own magic power.

Beams of golden light burst out from Lucius Sura's mouth, nose, eyes, and even ears.

Behind the screaming old wizard, the smile on the face of the young black-robed wizard faded. He pulled out a strange dagger that twisted like a snake from his bosom. The silver moonlight shone on the blade, reflecting chilling green, blue, and deep purple.

The murderous intent is revealed!

Chapter 64: Refusing Death (Part 1)

Damn Gaius!

In agony, Lucius madly cursed his dead colleagues.

Faced with the hidden killer move he had used before, Gaius did not choose to resist with his own transcendent soul, but instead used all his strength to activate his fully liberated soul ability - the Sorrow of Ending War.

It was a powerful soul ability that could bring things to a standstill. If it weren't for Gaius's own transcendent soul having problems, preventing him from successfully exerting any power other than basic attack and defense, this soul ability alone would have been enough to destroy the demonized Lucius.

So, when he launched the "Sorrow of Ending War" regardless of everything, the arms that symbolized Lucius's spellcasting ability were forcibly stagnated, and the great wizard's already turbid soul showed signs of damage and tearing. The resigned Gaius was also completely defeated by the negative energy breath emitted by the Undead Colossus.

However, the torn soul, severe loss of magic power and various other injuries also made Lucius Sura look particularly embarrassed when facing the purification punishment launched by Ivan.

Purifying energy penetrated his body, burning the wizard's eyes into charcoal, spewing blood mist from his ears, and black smoke coming out of his mouth and nose like a charcoal stove.

He couldn't see, hear, or chant spells, but Lucius was still a great wizard of the fourth level after all. Even though he was burned from the inside out by the flames transformed from his purification ability, he still did not completely give up resistance.

"I curse you damned fellows!"

As he cursed, Lucius's right hand was broken at the root. All the blood, bones, flesh, and most importantly, the refined magic power of the entire arm were sacrificed in a blood sacrifice.

The large amount of magic power contained in the flesh and blood of the high-level wizard was fully stimulated in this process, and a dazzling deep purple magic light burst out from it. The strong negative energy magic forced everyone to retreat more than ten meters to avoid being involved in the final death struggle of this despicable villain.

Khayang, who had originally taken out the dagger, froze in his tracks and did not step forward to deliver the long-awaited backstab.

Only Ivan advances instead of retreating. The legendary sword "Burning Justice" in his hand can directly kill the souls of the fallen cultists.

In the urban area, the cultists were too numerous to reverse their self-sacrifice process, but right now, the tall, black-haired boy had an evil person in front of him who deserved to be punished with a sharp blade!

The tragic scenes he saw along the way made his face as gloomy as water, and the azure crystal between his eyebrows suddenly appeared like a vertical pupil.

Alvin didn't care about the curses from the other party at all, because the anger burning in his heart was enough to burn everything completely!

As if sensing the rage rising in the sword-wielder's soul, the divine armed forces from heaven immediately responded.

A line of gilded celestial characters appeared on the red, crystal-like blade: 'Sanctus! Sanctus! Sanctus! Cast in the name of God, ye no guity!'

As the sacred words emerged, a fiery red flame infused with purifying energy burst forth.

Not only is there the intense fire elemental magic released by the 'Flawless Gem - Eternal Flame', but also the burning red as bright as blood and as hot as flames displayed by the extreme positive energy!

The blade moves forward, the knight charges!

The anger in his heart seemed to ignite his blood, and the burning sensation flowed through his blood vessels throughout his body. The violent ability of the first-level transcendent [Barbarian] was sublimated under the combined effect of primitive magic and the power of the fire element.

A blood-red magical glow emanated from Ivan's muscles, and he grew taller. His strength, which was already enough to wrestle with a dragon, was further enhanced, and his extremely strong physique was further strengthened, enough to resist most curses against flesh and blood.

The mithril mask carved with the facial features of the Heroic Einherjar was illuminated red by the firelight, as if roaring silently. The mithril armor also reflected the burning red color, making him look like a tall knight statue wrapped in flames.

The short distance of just over ten meters was quickly crossed, and the sharp blade of 'Burning Justice' was about to pierce Lucius' chest.

But Alvin felt a slight pain between his eyebrows. The expected curse did not appear. Instead, the space behind the old wizard appeared with a large number of cracks like a broken glass bottle.

"Be careful!" Khayon's shout reached his ears, and he didn't know whether he was telling Lucius to be careful or Ivan to be careful.

But the actions of both of them changed accordingly.

Ivan lowered his body but continued to swing his sword forward, while Lucius slightly turned sideways and used his only remaining left hand to block in front of him.

The next second, the space shattered to reveal a dark crack, and a huge arm without skin but covered with heavy armor passed through the gap and swept across the front with force!

As he leaned over, Ivan felt a strong wind blowing over his head, blowing his black hair up like a lion's mane. Then the ground next to him exploded with a loud bang, revealing a huge palm print that was big enough for several people to lie down on.

Lucius had a cruel expression on his face. He did not attempt to use the magic power gained from the blood sacrifice to release curses or other undead magic. The great wizard, whose spellcasting ability was interfered with, could not cast any high-level magic at all.

Therefore, he used the same trick again, using magic to shake the space and guide the Apocalypse-level Undead Colossus to strike from the air.

As the person who created that terrifying colossus with his own hands, Lucius has full confidence in his work and believes that the blow is enough to threaten a third-level transcendent!

But the expected scream did not come. Instead, his legs completely lost all feeling after a burst of burning sensation.

Although Ivan's hasty blow was not fatal, it still broke the wizard's legs at the knees like a hot knife cutting through butter.

"My legs!" the great wizard himself screamed.

With only his left arm left, he was twitching violently on the ground like a maggot.

Ivan pulled back dozens of meters, then looked at the huge arm that passed through the space crack with cold sweat all over his body.

Because of Lucius's frantic manipulation under severe pain, the Undead Colossus' arms bombarded the surrounding ground like a blind man swatting a fly, causing the area to shake violently as if an earthquake had occurred, so much so that the tall Silver Knights were somewhat unstable.

Ivan's eyes narrowed and he gritted his teeth and wanted to rush forward again, but Maria suddenly appeared behind him and held his shoulders.

"Calm down, this is not the time to be reckless."

Maria was not wrong. The magic power obtained from the blood sacrifice would soon be exhausted. By then, Lucius would be a helpless victim.

But the great wizard also realized this. Despite suffering from the double pain of broken limbs and burning positive energy, he still did not give up thinking.

Finally, the mage's sanity allowed Lucius to grasp the last glimmer of hope.

"Death Rejecter! Take me back to the workshop!"

The command was given hastily, and the undead giants that had been blindly attacking the surroundings quickly stopped attacking, then stretched out their hands to pick up the great wizard and the surrounding land and began to retreat.

"Don't even think about running!" Alvin pulled out the Crusher and fired several shots, but the Undead Colossus's stiff, necromancy-like muscles and the solid dragon skeleton inside blocked the bombardment of the self-propelled gem bombs.

The attacks of others were equally ineffective, but Khayang, who was close by, gritted his teeth and showed a determined expression.

He took a deep breath, gripped the dagger coated with triple poison, and cried out in a sweet voice full of emotion:

"Teacher, please don't abandon your most beloved disciple!!!"

Chapter 65: Refusing Death

The sound of the dagger piercing into flesh was terrifying.

The poisonous technology spread, and even the stiff muscles treated by necromancy were stained with a layer of black spots.

Khayon was hanging in the air with the dagger stuck in the finger of the Undead Colossus. The strong wind distorted his face, and from time to time, a few arrows shot by the Silver Knights and short spears thrown by them flew past him.

However, relying on his tenacious perseverance and the hatred in his heart that was as hard to cool as magma and molten iron, the young black-robed wizard finally followed the huge arm of the undead colossus that retracted backwards and entered the space crack connecting to the private workshop with Lucius.

"Stop." Alvin stopped the Silver Knight from attacking the Black Robe Mage.

The crack slowly closed in front of them, and no one chose to rush in.

Regardless of how dangerous the unstable space channel is, the huge undead that has been activated is enough to threaten everyone present.

hateful!

Alvin clenched his fists. He was still too weak. As a fourth-level wizard, even though his soul was damaged, his limbs were mutilated, and he had all kinds of injuries, the trump cards he kept still made him feel powerless as if facing a mountain barrier.

I really feel ashamed of Master Gaius, who I fought against at the risk of my life before.

"Don't just stand there, our mission is not yet completed." Maria suddenly appeared and said loudly to the depressed crowd.

Due to the interference of the space crack on the surrounding environment, she was unable to use the ability of shadow shuttle just now, but the huge undead colossus that she had never seen before actually caused space vibrations when it attacked, which was comparable to the power of a fourth-level strongman when he completely released the power of his soul.

The shockwaves made it impossible to use skills that relied heavily on the power of the shadow world, so Maria, as a shadow knight, was unable to interrupt Lucius's escape.

"Let's go!" Without saying anything more, Alvin turned over and jumped onto the six-legged cold-blooded warhorse.

This was no time to be downhearted, and that wasn't his style.
