Chapter 170 The Familiar Gaze
Chapter 170 The Familiar Gaze
"Shepherd" Lovia's response made Joshua even more vigilant. He looked at the other members of the exploration team and asked eagerly:
"Did you hear unusual footsteps?"
Derrick, holding the "Thunder God's Roar" giant hammer and the straight broadsword, recalled for a few seconds, shook his head in denial, and Heinm, holding the "Darkless Cross", glanced at the sealed item whose light had not changed, and responded: :
"Maybe it's your hallucination?"
"No, I can hear you clearly." Joshua, who was wearing red gloves, frowned and expressed his opinion.
Hearing this sentence, Colin, the "demon hunter" who was walking in the front half turned around, and calmly ordered:
"Heim, Antiina, please check Joshua's status."
"Yes, Your Excellency Chief." Heim immediately walked up to Joshua, and pressed the "Undark Cross" made of pure light on his teammate's forehead.
And this sealed item hasn't changed in any way.
Immediately afterwards, the burgundy-haired female warrior Antiina also came to Joshua's side and raised her left hand.
On her wrist was a pale gold bracelet, with three small bells covered with golden scales hanging from it.
The sound of jingling followed and echoed around, making Joshua's mind settle down, and he was no longer so tense and impatient.
"No problem." Antiina cast her gaze on Chief Colin Iliad.
Colin's eyes already showed two dark green complicated symbols. He looked at Joshua for a few seconds, nodded and said:
"It may not be a hallucination, but you must always pay attention to whether there is any abnormality in your body."
Seeing the chief support himself, Joshua secretly breathed a sigh of relief:
"OK."
Putting aside their doubts for the time being, the Silver City exploration team continued to descend the huge staircase filled with twilight light, one floor after another.
Suddenly, everyone heard a groan.
Derrick Berg saw from the corner of his eye that Joshua raised his hands and tightly grabbed his own neck.
Because he is a "Dawn Knight", he is extremely powerful, and just as he groaned, his hands snapped and broke his neck bone.
Joshua fell down with a gloomy and distorted expression, his eyes filled with disbelief:
The one who killed him turned out to be himself!
"..." Although Derrick and the others failed to react in time to what had happened, their long-term training and experience in groping in the dark made them instinctively form a battle formation, and be alert to the possible follow-up attack.
Then, they heard another muffled grunt.
This comes from "Shepherd" Elder Lovia.
The facial muscles of this woman with long silver-gray hair tightened, and obvious twitching and wriggling appeared, as if another face was growing.
She fell to her knees on the wide steps with a plop, her pain was beyond words.
Slowly but uncontrollably, her hands raised, pinching her own neck.
Just when Lovia was about to exert her strength, two straight swords smeared with silver-gray ointment stretched out and separated her palms.
"Demon Hunter" Colin, who was already prepared, responded in time.
Lovia's whole body twitched, her head was buried lower, her mouth opened, and pieces of broken flesh and incomplete organs spit out.
She exhaled, and seemed to have finally recovered, then put her elbows on the ground, took a step forward, crawled and swallowed the flesh and organs just spit out one by one, pious and humble.
"Demon Hunter" Colin, who had several old scars on his face, watched the scene quietly and did not stop him.
Finally, Lovia raised her head, her pale gray eyes said without focus:
"It's a fall.
"It's a fall that everyone has."
"Do you have a solution?" Colin asked without changing his tone.
Lovia nodded without hesitation and said:
"Have."
As soon as the words fell, she had already held the index finger of her left hand with her right hand, snapped it off, pulled it out forcefully, stuffed it with blood and bone into her mouth, muttered while chewing:
"The Creator of all;
"Lord behind the veil of shadow;
"The fallen nature of all living beings..."
The honorable name of "True Creator"... Derrick's eyelids twitched when he heard it, and suddenly felt that there seemed to be some subtle changes in his surroundings.
The orange-red evening light became a little more intense, closer to the color of blood.
Above the gray mist, "The Fool" Klein's expression also instantly became serious.
Although he didn't see anything through the "true vision", he could vaguely perceive that there was a gaze cast from a distant place, so that it interfered with his observation, resulting in weakened clarity and range.
In addition, that gaze gave Klein a strange sense of familiarity.
It’s hard not to be familiar with it. I’ve spent the first half of my life dealing with Him after time travel—His Son of God, His Angel, the possession He wants to come, the items left by His followers, His crazy ravings, His Various murals related to it... At this moment, Klein is absolutely sure that it is the "True Creator" who started to watch the City of Silver's exploration team.
Frankly speaking, when Lovia started chanting that honorable name, Klein really wanted to send her a "Lightning Storm" directly to eliminate the problem before it appeared, but he finally resisted the urge because he I'm not sure that I can kill that "shepherd" with one blow - Lovia's grazing evil spirit should have a Sequence 3 figure. Although it has long since died, its current comprehensive strength is still at the Sequence 4 level. It is approaching but not yet reaching the level of an angel. It is not a problem to support it for a while in the "Lightning Storm" of the first level.
And once the "Fool" can't kill Lovia simply and lightly, it will be considered cowardly in the eyes of "Demon Hunter" Colin.
In addition, Klein believes that Colin Iliad is happy to see the "Shepherd" elder Lovia recite the name of "True Creator". He wants to check and balance Mister Fool and achieve a certain balance.
This is actually an act of disrespect in front of the gods, and it is easy to annoy those great beings, but Colin Iliad has no choice, he will not and cannot believe in "The Fool" and "True Creator" so simply, I can only work hard to maintain it, and test it on the edge of the cliff.
Only in this way, the City of Silver will not be destroyed suddenly, like those city-states that have been buried in the depths of darkness and covered in the dust of history.
It's a pity, if the "Darkless Cross" is in my hands at this time, if I fully mobilize the power of the mysterious space above the gray mist to cooperate, there is hope that I can instantly kill that silver knight evil spirit... This is a natural restraint... Klein sighed silently, and could only accept such a development.
——He didn't notice anything unusual about Joshua before. It wasn't until the Silver City warrior wearing red gloves grabbed his neck that he saw the other party's spirit become gray and gloomy.
Just as the elder "Shepherd" said, this is his own "degeneration", which is not much different from losing himself due to money and beauty, and it is difficult to be detected by external forces.
"That part of the ladder should have the remaining divine power that represents 'fallen', blended into the environment, it is difficult to find, difficult to fight...The stone man before has no wisdom and spirituality, but it is not affected... Judging from the honorable name, The 'True Creator' is in charge of the fallen nature, and just watching can make the corresponding power fade away..." Klein adjusted his mentality and continued to observe the follow-up development.
During this process, he couldn't help thinking about a question:
Is the "True Creator" the same as himself, watching the actions of the Silver City exploration team in His Kingdom of God?
…On Earth, this is called friends watching the same live broadcast… If I “reward” a little, will the “True Creator” “reward” more? Klein used teasing thoughts to ease the tension and worry caused by the "true creator"'s gaze.
That is a genuine god, neither Adam nor Amon is enough to stand alongside him!
At this time, "Shepherd" Lovia had already got up, and the missing left index finger also squirmed and grew out.
She looked at Chief Colin Iliad and said:
"This area is no longer corrupted."
This also means that the ladder position is less dangerous.
Normally, the exploration team will not take care of Joshua's body at this time. No matter whether they are advancing or retreating, they cannot waste time. If they stay in an extremely dangerous area for too long, it will cause accidents to other team members, but , since Lovia, the elder of the "six-member council", said in a certain tone that there is no problem nearby, then you can take a break and deal with it.
Derrick put down Heim's broadsword, walked to Joshua's side, stared at it for a few seconds, bent down to pick up the other's red glove, and put it on his left palm.
He still remembered that Joshua always showed off this magical item obtained in the exploration, and he could clearly recall that when he walked out of the afternoon town camp before, the other party said that after the exploration was over, he would be forced to arrange marriage, and he did not know that his wife Who would it be, and an hour later, this teammate turned into a cold corpse.
For everyone in the City of Silver, this was their daily life. No one cried or collapsed, but some kind of emotion that had been integrated into the bone marrow and blood emerged, a mixture of heaviness and grief.
They watched as Derrick raised his left hand and pointed his palm at Joshua's body.
A group of blazing flames flew out, covering their teammates who were fighting side by side just now.
After the cauterization, "Demon Hunter" Colin put away the precipitated Extraordinary characteristics, and the rest of the team members each grabbed a handful of ashes and put them in the hidden pockets of their clothes.
In silence, they continued to descend and came to the bottom of the stairs, where there was a majestic palace bathed in evening light, and behind it were corridors and stairs leading to other areas.
The gate of the palace was wide open, and it was pitch black inside, with no light to enter.
"Demon Hunter" Colin observed carefully for a while and said:
"Same as in the outside world."
What he means is to use various methods to keep the light, not to let oneself fall into absolute darkness.
Therefore, Heim activated the brilliance of the "Undark Cross", which enveloped all his teammates, while Antiana lit a lantern and held it in her hand to prevent the cross from suddenly failing.
A group of people entered the palace and walked in the seemingly unusually empty hall. The sound of their footsteps echoed far away, and none of them returned.
As he walked, Derrick suddenly felt his eyelids become heavy, and he felt a strong drowsiness.
At this moment, he heard the chief's low growl:
"Don't fall asleep!"
Derrick woke up suddenly, getting rid of the tiredness of being unable to open his eyes.
At this time, a female soldier's body softened and fell to the ground, as if she had fallen into a deep sleep.
Then she disappeared out of thin air, just like that, and disappeared directly in front of everyone.
"Demon Hunter" Colin and "Shepherd" Lovia examined each for a while, shook their heads, and led the team to move on.
In the process, they hurt themselves from time to time, trading pain for sobriety.
Finally, they passed through a lot of arches and saw that the darkness ahead was no longer irreversible.
With the help of the light in the team, they discovered that this was a hall with countless murals. In the center of the hall was a long dark red table surrounded by a pair of high-backed chairs with intricate patterns.
This... Derrick inexplicably felt that this was a bit familiar.
He immediately realized that this was somewhat similar to the scene of the Tarot gathering!
Suddenly, balls of light lit up, and whispers sounded around them.
Around the hall, on the stone pillars erected but not supporting the dome, crimson flames were ignited one after another, illuminating the surroundings brilliantly.
The whispering voice gradually became louder, and it seemed that it finally arrived at the destination through the long and distant time and space, making the hall as lively as a party.
Around the long dark red table, blurred and illusory figures suddenly jumped up, sitting on different high-backed chairs, a total of eleven.
