Chapter 1302 Shadow of Rock Marton
"Evaporation?!" The voice coming from the communicator stunned both Hao Ren and Lily. The latter suddenly shouted, "What evaporation? Why are you talking so cluelessly?"
"We don't know what's going on! The monster has been quiet all the time, but just now it suddenly started shouting, and then..."
Hao Ren interrupted the other party: "Don't say any more, take it into the city immediately! We will go out to meet you!"
It didn't take long for the weird nightmare monster to be brought to the cathedral, along with Lily's Warcraft Guards. After finding out the situation in the city, there was no need for these subraces to continue hiding in the cathedral. They were outside the city, and their appearance shocked several priests in Luan Cathedral, but compared to the Nightmare Shadows, several subraces were only a small problem.
The monster was literally evaporating.
Its body is emitting a large amount of smoke, making a slight hissing sound as if it is rapidly vaporizing. As the smoke disperses, the size of the monster is also shrinking at a slow speed that is almost imperceptible to the naked eye. Although the change is extremely slow, it has already After continuing this state for a period of time, Hao Ren could still see that it had shrunk by almost one-third compared to before, and as the size shrank, the monster also obviously fell into a weaker state.
In fact, this monster has always been quite weak. Ever since it briefly appeared rational in Black Crow Fortress, it has always been in a half-dead state. After being sent to the Holy Domain, it was suppressed by the sacred power of this place and appeared to be unusually quiet. But these Weakness was not fatal at one time—until now the phenomenon of “evaporation.”
"It has been in this state for thirty minutes, and it is getting worse," said a monk who was outside the city before. "Before the evaporation started, it shouted some inexplicable words, but there was no logic and no way. comminicate."
Hao Ren raised his head: "What are you shouting about?"
The monk thought for a while: "There is the name of Rock Marton, there is the Forgotten Abyss, and it repeatedly mentions the words door and seal... By the way, it also mentions the Endless War, which is a long battle on the plains. …However, this battle is not mentioned in any of Kolo’s history books.”
"that's it?"
The monk spread his hands: "That's all. By the way, it not only uses common language, but also several ancient languages that are about to be lost. We can only barely understand some of those languages."
"The Endless War...Gate and Rock Marton..." Hao Ren bent down and inspected the condition of the smoke and flesh. "The latter is easy to understand. It sounds like it is talking about the 'prison', but the former is not." Now you know what it means.”
As he spoke, he carefully reached out his hand, through the thick black smoke, to touch the monster's soft, disgusting entity.
The area on his right hand that had been burned by the blood of the goddess was faintly hot, and some dark red traces were slightly revealed. The smoke around the monster seemed to be avoiding this "stigma" and immediately separated to both sides.
Hao Ren noticed this detail, his heart moved, and he reached out his hand without any hesitation.
At the same time as the cold touch came, a series of hallucinations that rolled rapidly like a slide suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
He saw a magnificent and bright palace being built, and twenty-one giant-shaped guardians stood in front of a mountain of light and swore an oath. Forged from sacred rock and steel, these guardians are as unshakable as the mountains themselves.
He saw that these guardians were ordered to guard an eternal prisoner. From the thoughts coming from the spiritual world, he knew that this prisoner was beyond imagination, even older than the eldest son and the guardian giant.
He saw the guardians cultivating life on the earth, using the order of life to suppress and influence the chaotic forces of evil.
He saw the fall of the goddess, causing all these efforts to be in vain, evil to counterattack, and order to decline.
Countless pictures flashed, and many memory fragments were blurred, as if some force had forcibly erased and weakened these memories. Hao Ren could only see the end of these memories -
In a desolate world forever shrouded in dusk, the earth is dry and cracked, the sky is scorching, huge shadows are floating behind the clouds, countless tentacles and weird limbs are passing between the sky and the earth, and the ancient evil power is in its own way. Wandering in the cage, the calmness brews with anger that can devour the entire world.
On the land shrouded in shadow, countless monsters are running rampant, attacking a giant pillar that supports the heaven and earth. This giant pillar is smooth and bright, as if it is made of a pure silver mirror. However, what is reflected in the mirror is not a giant pillar. The surrounding dry earth and burning sky are instead another world full of life.
At the foot of the giant pillar, mountains of blood, broken limbs, and ashes of various monsters were piled up. Countless grotesque and twisted creatures were fighting in chaos, as if they were caught in an ever-burning frenzy of rage. These monsters seem to be two camps, vying for control of the giant pillar, but they may simply be controlled by killing, blindly killing all creatures around them under the will of Rock Marton.
The next moment, all illusions disappeared.
Hao Ren felt that a long time had passed, but when he looked around, he found that everyone was still maintaining the same movements as before, and he knew that the illusion just lasted only a moment.
Lily was the first to come up to him. The husky girl was very familiar with Hao Ren's abilities, so she knew what was going on when she saw Hao Ren's sudden loss of consciousness: "Landlady, Landlady! What did you see?"
Hao Ren waved his hand to signal Lily to stop causing trouble. Then he bent down, stared at the piece of meat covered in smoke, and asked slowly and clearly: "I know you can hear my voice now - who are you?"
In the previous direct spiritual connection, he had established a short-term mysterious connection with the "monster". Under this subtle connection, the monster finally regained clarity again, the speed of evaporation of smoke and dust slowed down slightly, and an extremely hoarse, deep voice came out from the meat block:
"My name was... Valenciil, Valenciil St. Tenil Benedict, I was..."
The evaporation speed of the smoke suddenly accelerated, and a sharp scream came from the mass of flesh and blood. Before it completely dissipated, it shouted hysterically: "Prison! The entrance to the prison is at the top of Asuman!! At the top of Asuman..."
All the sounds disappeared, and the monster was no longer visible in the cage. Only a small amount of black smoke was blown away by the wind.
In the unspeakable silence, Hao Ren broke the silence: "Who knows this name?"
"Valentil St. Tenil Benedict," Carasius' sleepwalking voice came from the side, "Benedict III, the canon bearer, a wise and just man, one of the ancestral popes... "
Everyone was stunned, and the general reaction of the crowd was "You're fucking kidding me." However, Lily's Warcraft Guards became the calmest - they couldn't understand what Carathius was saying, so they were thinking about humans. Started blindly BB again.
"It said it was the Pope?" Lily's ears twitched, even though the brain of a top-notch dog could not keep up with the plot at this time, "By the way, is your Pope Benedict III dead?" ?”
"He was already a figure from nearly two thousand years ago," Carathius said absently. "As one of the greatest popes in history, his holy body after his death was placed in the underground mausoleum of the Palace of the Icons, together with all the ancient sages. Companion, eternally illuminated by the glory of the goddess.”
"That's the late emperor," Lily suddenly felt that she had found a companion, "I am also the late emperor!"
"Don't listen to her making trouble, her logic is not normal," Hao Ren patted the Husky aside, and then looked at Calasius, "How credible do you think this 'monster' is?"
Karasius spread his hands: "Personally, I don't believe it at all, but..."
"It's too bizarre and makes people suspicious, right," Hao Ren nodded, "And most importantly, there is no need for a 'monster' to tell us such lies. I have never heard of such evil beings among chaos monsters." Interesting.”
Carathius did not say a word, but at this moment, there was a cry of surprise from the window of the cathedral. Several low-level priests who were observing the situation outside near the window screamed in horror: "There is something in the sky!"
A wave of heart palpitations spread from the bottom of his heart almost at the same time. Hao Ren almost rushed to the window in two steps, and then pushed open the glass window that was particularly eye-catching due to its narrowness and complicated lines.
He looked up to the sky.
The sky was covered with clouds, and a dusk-like glow spread out from behind the clouds. In the intertwining of light and shadow, an extremely huge, indescribable thing was slowly moving behind the clouds.
This thing hung down countless thick tentacles and grotesque limbs, just like tornado pillars hanging from the clouds. These limbs flicked and curled between the sky and the earth, as if licking the earth. The terrifying and malicious scene made one's scalp numb!
Even the most devout and determined church warriors could not withstand the pressure at this moment. The low-level assistant priests stepped back with pale faces. The better priests could still recite trembling prayers to strengthen their courage. The weaker ones already showed signs of fainting, as if just looking at those tentacles and shadows was enough to make mortals lose their minds.
The sub-races also trembled under the pressure, the demon wolf let out a low roar mixed with fear and anger, the troll held his head and kept retreating, and the furbolg also showed signs of going crazy - until Lily suddenly howled loudly, they Only then did he finally calm down.
Hao Ren stood at the window like a statue, without giving in or wavering. He faced the shadow of the clouds with his demigod body, resisting all malice and mental erosion.
He knew what it was.
Lochmaton.
