Black and red flames quickly enveloped the Smoke Knight, protecting him. The several-meter-long lightning spear struck him, only emitting a dazzling burst of lightning, effectively causing little damage to the Smoke Knight.

"I will clean up the garbage that is in the master's way." The agent lifted up her skirt and fired the four live ammunition machine guns on her lower body at the Smoke Knight.

"Master, I'll hold it back while you rescue Ms. Rukatiye." The agent quickly sent a message to Sun Yang. The machine guns beneath her weren't an attack that could be ignored. A slightly longer firing time could still shatter the Smoke Knight's armor.

Sun Yang activated his power suit's propulsion system and swerved around the Smoke Knight. As he ran, he launched grenades into the Coal Bride's room, trying to contain the spread of Nadra's flames within that space. Smoke Knight Rem, whose sanity was waning due to Nadra's influence, identified the agent who was furiously directing his fire towards him as the most dangerous target.

Without even glancing at Sun Yang, who was running over, he swung the huge, heavy, smoke-filled sword directly at the agent. The sword kicked up layers of dust, and the agent rushed over the ash heap, firing his machine gun in response.

"Huh! A little more, a little more..." Rukatiye pulled the sword out with all her might. Her abdomen was pierced, and she began to bleed profusely. Undead can bleed for a short period of time, but if it lasts longer than a certain amount of time, they will still die from excessive blood loss.

"Damn it, Rukatiye, you idiot!" Sun Yang ran over and grabbed the hilt of the sword, charging up his power and pulling it out with all his might. "Why are you so impulsive?!"

"Be careful...that Nadra! She can not only bewitch people, but also manipulate their emotions." Rukatiye, who had been severely beaten by the Smoke Knight, briefly regained consciousness. She waited until Sun Yang had swung his sword with all his might, then quickly took two Elemental Bottles to replenish her health. Her wounds healed quickly, and her lost blood was replenished.

"Yes, at least it can guide people's emotions..." Rukatiye tapped her head. When she looked at the Smoke Knight again, a fear magnified countless times surged through her. She'd only felt a little scared before, but now, it felt like she was facing an army of tens of thousands alone.

"Sun Yang! My emotions have been affected! I can only be responsible for the external containment!" Rukatiye tried to ignore the emotional impact. She tried to swing the sword, but her body, gripped by fear, moved clumsily.

Seeing the usually brave and fearless Rukatiye trembling with fear, Sun Yang immediately realized that it was Nadra's doing. Well... at least this explained why Nadra had defeated so many people and captured Rem.

It is not enough to rely solely on the trait of loneliness to attract others, but you also gain a certain degree of power to control emotions based on the attraction?

Perhaps I wasn't affected because my soul still retained the characteristics of my original world? Perhaps souls from other worlds wouldn't be affected by Nadra.

Sun Yang threw a large number of grenades to Rukatiye, and then walked towards the center where the agent was fighting fiercely with the Smoke Knight.

While it was described as a fierce battle, it was actually just the Smoke Knight unilaterally suppressing the Agent. With the Black Mist's blessing, Rem could easily withstand dozens of large-caliber machine gun fire, while the Agent couldn't even block a single blow.

Both sides in the battle moved extremely swiftly. The agent was an Iron-Blooded Elite Humanoid and had undergone a body upgrade, but even so she did not dare to take the opponent's blows and could only try her best to dodge the opponent's attacks.

Rem's body and oversized sword were covered in black and red flames and mist. As the agent dodged, a machine gun was grazed and instantly melted. As the master of the Black Mist Tower, Nadra had glimpsed a portion of the power that manipulated fire and iron. The power she unleashed was extremely deadly to the humanoids.

But after Sun Yang joined the battle, the situation became one-sided. Various deadly explosives were thrown towards the hole in the small room, and the Coal Bride had to devote more energy to dealing with the flying explosives.

The Phantom Armor that had climbed up from the field and was about to support the battlefield was smashed to pieces by Rukatiye's sword. The Smoke Knight couldn't be defeated, but the Phantom Armor was still easy to beat.

Soon, the Coal Bride's power could no longer sustain the Smoke Knight. Sun Yang watched the flow of the black fog closely. Finally, he suddenly took out a large building block and placed it at the door of the room, blocking the black fog's path.

The black mist paused for a second before pounding the building material with all its might. Visible black and red streaks appeared on the surface, the force of the black mist rapidly eroding it. Even so, the short time gained was more than enough.

The agent fired all his ammunition as usual, forcing the unconscious Smoke Knight to face him, while Sun Yang gathered a flashing lightning spear in his hand, jumped on the Smoke Knight's head, and stabbed the lightning spear into it fiercely.

The Smoke Knight's body seemed to be glowing, and a burning smell came from his armor. But Sun Yang knew that the Smoke Knight would not fall so easily.

He continued to pour in the second shot, the third shot... until the Smoke Knight's body fell to his knees and fell to the ground trembling.

"Soul..." Rukatiye felt the huge soul pouring into his body, as well as Sun Yang who had not dissipated. "You are still there? Thank God, I don't want to face that Nadra alone..."

"That means there are still strong enough souls here to maintain the stability of the space-time structure. If there is anything else here, it can only be Nadra." Sun Yang pointed to the burnt and tattered building materials and the female body sitting inside.

Her body was smeared with ashes, as if she wanted to bury herself deep in them.

When Rukatiye approached cautiously, the seemingly dead body began to move slowly.

261 The Fallen Child of Darkness

"Who are you...what do you want...intruder?" The figure in the ash pile stood up, her body swaying stiffly.

"It doesn't matter who I am, but I have a question for you. Have you ever seduced a warrior from the Miller Knights to join your army? The weapons and swordsmanship he uses should be very similar to mine." Rukatiye looked directly at the woman in front of him who looked like an ash statue.

"Is that all?" Nadra's body twisted slowly, as if performing some graceful dance.

"Stop talking nonsense! I'll leave as soon as I get the answer. I won't bother you," Rukatiye urged. She didn't want to get close to this strange Fallen of Darkness; she'd been tricked several times before.

"Agent, if Rukatiye shows any strange behavior, shoot Nadra's body into pieces."

Sun Yang gave orders to the agent beside him, and then pulled aside the body of Smoke Knight Rem, who had fallen to the ground and whose soul had dissipated.

We should find a proper burial place for Rem's body here, but his weapons and armor still need to be recovered.

Maybe Strider could come up with some strange technology. He wouldn't be bothered by having too much to research, he'd only be bothered by having too little.

"Your will, Master." The machine gun under the agent's skirt was aimed at Nadra's body in the room.

"No knight from the Kingdom of Miller has ever visited. Hundreds of years ago, since the death of our king, only warriors from the land of Dolan have come here... You are the first visitor..." Nadra's body continued to dance gracefully. "Knight Miller, you are so powerful, why don't you fight for me?"

"Evil! Who would fight for a seductive snake?!" Rukatiye spat, "Enough, I already know what I want..."

"But I see the loneliness in your heart, Miller's undead warrior. You have been ostracized from your hometown and walk alone in the land of Dolan... The man beside you is not..."

Bang! Bang! Sun Yang pulled out his shotgun and fired two shots into the air. The sharp gunshot interrupted Nadra's words and also woke the somewhat confused Rukatiye.

"Oh! I have to interrupt! You said she was lonely? You, an old, dark-attributed old bacon who has lived for who knows how many years, don't take me seriously, right? How do you define loneliness? Loneliness is the absence of love? You like to grab the right to speak for yourself, right? Nadra, you will die if you don't talk about love, right? 'Coal Bride'? I think it's more like 'Parasite'. You are the parasite lying on the corpse of the Iron King~"

Sun Yang spoke sarcastically and directly seized the right to speak.

"How dare you!" Nadra, the Fallen Child of Darkness, who couldn't curse because of her pride, tried to refute, but Sun Yang didn't intend to listen to her nonsense.

"Oh my, isn't this the Dark Fallen Child who can't survive without the King's support, who doesn't want to do anything but just sit there and rot in the Black Mist Tower? What? Without the Iron King, you'll just use your nagging mouth to persuade others to die, right? Come on, pout your ever-moving mouth and kiss my asshole more, how about that?" Sun Yang taunted again. In any case, these words successfully negated Nadra's bewitching magic.

Nadra's black mist surged. She was indeed angered by Sun Yang's words—but even so, she maintained her composure. The main reason she maintained her composure was that Sun Yang's firepower was too strong, and it was not affected by her own bewitching ability.

After Sun Yang finished speaking, he rushed to Rukatiye's side. He moved his arms and prepared to punch Rukatiye twice.

Rukatiye quickly waved his hands: "Wait a minute! I'm not bewitched! I'm awake! Don't rush into anything!"

"Alright. Even with the power of this Dark Child, it can't control your speech," Sun Yang lowered his fist. "Are you done asking? How are we going to deal with her? Hey, don't look at that old bacon. Be careful or you'll be controlled again."

Rukatiye retracted his curious gaze and shook his head at Sun Yang. "I only need to ask about my brother. The rest is unimportant. Don't worry about her. I'm worried that this guy still has some strange magical powers that he hasn't used yet... We won't be here again. Let's leave quickly."

She was really starting to get scared. After being so easily bewitched so many times, if she really rolled up her sleeves and started fighting this lonely Nadra... she might be mind-controlled right from the start.

Now is the time to gather the information you need and save it while you can. It's better not to add any more risks.

After thinking it over, Rukatiye decided to back down. He left quickly before the other party lost his temper.

Nadra just looked coldly at Rukatiye, Sun Yang, and the agent who was on guard.

"Since you don't want to fight...Okay, I'll go with you to the campfire. Agent, follow my orders before shooting." Sun Yang glanced at Nadra, who didn't move at all in the room. Following behind Rukatiye.

Rukatiye didn't dare look back, she quickly ran outside. The statues had already been destroyed, so the best thing to do now was to make a campfire and escape.

If the other party is forced into a corner and uses some powerful curse ability to curse you to death and turn you into a zombie, it would not be worth it.

"No, you can't go anywhere...Miller's Knight..." Nadra's voice came from the room, "Hug me..."

"Kill her! Agent!" Sun Yang didn't dare to delay. He immediately charged up his power suit and exerted all his strength. With a single grapple, he threw the dazed Rukatiye to the ground. "You weak hypnotist female knight! Now you know there's no point in being timid!"

"Crack!" Rukatia cried out strangely as her legs were grabbed and she fell straight to the ground. Her chin hit the exposed metal floor with a dull cracking sound.

"Sun Yang, you're so cruel..." Even with Rukatiye's excellent physical fitness, he became drowsy after being thrown like that.

"Then don't let yourself be controlled! The female knight who is easily controlled is too classic a setting! Give me some willpower!" Sun Yang quickly tied up Rukatiye's hands and feet and turned her over.

Rukatiye was knocked unconscious for a few seconds by Sun Yang's full-strength hug and throw. Her lower jaw was completely broken, her teeth were scattered, and the broken jaw bone made her face shorter.

The dizzy few seconds bought Sun Yang precious time to bind her. The restrained Rukatiye's eyes gradually became empty, and she was once again captured by the power of the Coal Bride.

Not far away, the agent who had been on standby immediately opened fire. A barrage of bullets flew deep into the room. But a thick black fog had already enveloped the outer walls, the dark power contained within blocking the roaring machine gun rounds.

Sun Yang hurriedly opened the window. His eyes scanned the window for two seconds, then stopped at a weapon lying in the Oasis laboratory.

"This is an experimental heavy laser launcher. It was originally given to the machine gun doll for testing. Now it's too late to modify it?" Sun Yang took it out directly. He turned on the switch, and several large nuclear fusion cores on it started to operate rapidly.

(This weapon is carried by the AAT in Chapters 200 and 201.)

Damn, this thing is heavy! Even with the help of the power suit and his own physical strength, Sun Yang could only turn it with difficulty. He pointed the gun at the Coal Queen in the black fog.

"Let me guess, what is the temperature limit you can withstand?" Sun Yang pressed the button, and lasers and heat that could instantly evaporate metal plates shot out from this experimental weapon.

The dark red mist devoured the heat from the laser, but it wouldn't vanish. Soon, the temperature in Nadra's room climbed with alarming force, then stopped at a certain point.

Nadra's body wasn't made of iron; if she stayed in a high-temperature environment for too long, she would still die. After all, the black mist was the power of the Coal Bride. She guided the black mist, quickly using her magical power to transfer the heat to other places.

But after all, her original power is loneliness and charm, the power of the Fallen Child of Darkness. The power of the Black Mist Tower belongs to the original Iron King, and Nadra is able to control it by mixing her own power into it.

Relying on this indirect manipulation method to deal with other ordinary people is fine, but if she wants to use the power of black mist to fight head-on, she needs to expend a lot of energy to keep it running. Not to mention transferring the heat attached to it - this delicate operation is really difficult!

Sun Yang removed the limiter and forced the gun to the point of burning. He then threw the gun into the black fog and fired another lightning spear at it.

The lightning spear directly overloaded the large nuclear fusion core above, and the excessive radiation and heat expanded and exploded in the black mist. Several overloaded nuclear fusion cores exerted their residual heat, inflicting heavy damage to the enemy.

A faint scream seemed to emanate from the black fog. Rukatiye's eyes widened as he heard it, gasping uncontrollably. The dark red fog was blown away by the shockwave of the explosion.

After all, it wasn't real smoke, but rather the power of Nadra's own fusion with the Black Mist Tower. When its owner died, it could no longer maintain its form.

The huge soul that had been plundered by the Dark Fallen and had not yet been completely consumed surged out of the room and flew into the bodies of Sun Yang and Rukatiye.

The agent immediately rushed to Sun Yang, blocking most of the overheating radiation and shockwaves. A warning sounded from her body, but the agent ignored it and simply turned around and asked, "Master, how are you feeling?"

"Ahem, I'm fine." Sun Yang turned his back and took a few gulps of the element bottle to make his uncomfortable body feel better.

Fortunately, undead creatures don't have any annoying problems like DNA chain damage. If anything happens, just drink enough blood or sit on the fire.

"Rukatiye! Wake up! I can't maintain my spirit form!" Sun Yang quickly picked up Rukatiye from the ground and applied a healing and recovery blessing to her, stabilizing her injuries before untying the high-strength ropes. His figure was already fading, and he could only hold on for ten seconds at most. Their worlds were about to separate.

Her jaw quickly grew back together, and the broken and missing teeth were replaced. Rukatiye blinked, her head groggily pointing to the depths of the room as she spoke, "Soul, core, crush the soul..."

Sun Yang immediately rushed into the room where the black fog had dissipated. No female body could be seen there, only a soul trying to reunite—a special soul belonging to the Fallen Child of Darkness. It lacked the core that vanished with the shattered body.

"What a scourge!" Sun Yang stepped forward, grabbed it, and crushed it violently. The dark soul shattered into countless tiny fragments, most of which flew into Sun Yang's body, while a small portion flew into Rukatiye's body.

Even the soul of the Darkborn, crushed, could not retain its properties. It would take thousands of years for the shattered soul to reunite. Even King Gwyn's soul, shattered, had no effect on the undead who absorbed it.

Numerous souls were absorbed into Sun Yang's body. Even if these souls once possessed certain characteristics, after entering Sun Yang's body, they would only become his life force. This was an ancient truth: the immortals who carried souls would completely devour them.

"Thank you... Sun Yang..." Rukatiye managed to stand up. As the soul dissipated, she finally got rid of Nadra's influence, but now she was a little weak. "Thank you... We met like honey..."

"Hurry home! We'll see you soon!" Sun Yang quickly sent the agent back to his base. He then watched as Rukatie faded and the world around him turned a dim yellow. He had returned from Rukatie's world.

Sun Yang didn't dare to delay. After returning to his own world, he immediately returned to Rumi. The dusk in Rumi cast long shadows on everyone. Sun Yang, looking panicked, hurried past several of his regular friends and rushed into his own house.

Rukatiye, the powerful female knight, was sitting in the house on a recliner. She waved gently, "Did it take you a while to get home, Sun Yang?"

Sun Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief and slowly closed the door behind him.

A bottle of warm honey milk was handed to Rukatiye. The weary female knight thanked her, picked up the full bottle, and gulped it down in one gulp.

The temperature in Rumi drops significantly after nightfall, given the deserted town's proximity to the ocean. Large temperature swings are inevitable. A chilly wind howls outside, rattling the closed windows.

"Wow~~That's great." Rukatiye, feeling warm all over, put down the big cup and sighed comfortably.

"How do you feel? Are you feeling better?" Sun Yang closed the door, isolating the cold wind outside from the warmth inside. He also pulled a chair and sat down.

"Better. Ha, that's great, a warm house and hot drinks. After a life-and-death battle, these are what I need to soothe my spirit." Rukatiye put down the bottle with a smile.

262 is a very historical number

For some reason, seeing someone drinking a hot drink so casually gave Sun Yang a sense of familiarity. He had the impression that M4 and the others rarely expressed their feelings about ordinary hot or cold drinks, nor did they mention feeling warmed up after consuming them.

Perhaps this is the difference between humans and humanoids.

"Then do you want some more wine? I heard that in some places, warriors need to drink to celebrate after a battle... I'm not sure if you have this custom there?" Sun Yang asked.

"No, I...well, I need some drinks with a higher alcohol content." Rukatiye breathed a sigh of relief, threw her hat aside, and slumped in her chair.

Sun Yang took out a bottle of brandy from the base. He found a small cup and placed the bottle and cup on the table together.

But Rukatiye didn't even look at the cup. She unscrewed the bottle cap quickly and poured the liquid into her mouth.

"Rukatiye?" Sun Yang was afraid that she would choke, but she quickly finished the whole bottle of brandy.

After downing a whole bottle of wine, Rukatiye finally let out a satisfied sound. Her pale face finally turned rosy.

"Ha... Sun Yang, you know what? I've actually been quite scared. I was almost scared to death." Rukatiye put the empty bottle of wine on the table. She looked a little drunk.

"Are you scared?" Sun Yang took the empty bottle away. Rukatiye seemed to have something on his mind that he wanted to talk about.

"That's right. Do you know why I wanted to retreat as soon as I got the information? Because I was scared. I didn't want to fight that guy, not even for a second. Of course, in order to find my brother's whereabouts, I would muster up endless courage. But when I found out that Azra was not there, my first reaction was: run."

Rukatiye panted heavily and loosened the straps of her vest. She collapsed onto the recliner, letting the alcohol make her head feel a little dizzy. Her dark green eyes stared at the ceiling, and her golden braids drooped to the ground.

"Do you think that after being controlled by that strange statue so many times, I still haven't learned my lesson and kept moving forward? No, it's not like that. I'm very scared, Sun Yang. If you weren't by my side, if I wasn't looking for my relatives, as soon as I could break free of its control, I would definitely leave there and run as far away as possible."

"I really didn't notice." Sun Yang thought for a moment and put a new bottle of brandy of a different flavor on the table. Rukatiye looked like he had finally let down his guard.

"Of course I'm scared. I'm human, and everyone gets scared... Sun Yang, you may not have experienced this before. Can you imagine being contemplating how to hack and slash your enemy one second, and then realizing the next second that your comrade has a wound from the mist in your hand? It's so bad, I didn't even realize I was being controlled. I couldn't even sense the signs before it happened."

"Honestly, even the courage I mustered from searching for my family was gone after I was controlled the second time. I could still say it was an accident the first time, but after that, it only proved that the power of the Fallen Child of Darkness far exceeded my imagination. If you hadn't insisted on moving on, I wouldn't have been able to force myself to continue. I discovered that you really don't seem to be affected by the statue. I did what you said, but the results weren't very satisfactory."

"I didn't think I could stay with you until the end. I'm not afraid of those strange warlocks or molten iron warriors, but I'm really afraid of the bewitching power of that Nadra statue. I lost consciousness in an instant... and only severe pain could bring me back to life. Thank you again, Sun Yang, for helping me kill Nadra once and for all."
