Journey to the Witch World

Chapter 431 Divine Fire

On the plain, the wind was cold and biting.

In the sky, white snowflakes were flying all over the sky, falling on the ground, covering the surroundings with white. In the distance, a snow rabbit was jumping, but was bitten on the neck by a white wolf that suddenly jumped out.

Essos Plain, Lighthouse Town.

A month has passed since the War of the Three Gods, and the voodoo of the Kingdom of Night has long disappeared. Although the subsequent impact still exists, it can no longer shake the foundation of this kingdom.

Lighthouse Town has also returned to peace. Those refugees who originally came from all over have returned to their respective villages and towns after curing the voodoo, but compared to before, Lighthouse Town is obviously more prosperous.

In the auditorium in the center of the town.

In the silent space, Enzo stood by the window, looking at the falling snow outside, his face was calm, but he was thinking about something in his heart.

In his hand, he was holding a mask.

"The mark of the gods is really not easy to erase!"

Enzo turned around and looked down at the shadow disguise in his hand, and couldn't help but sigh slightly. This artifact has been in his hands for a month, but Enzo has never been able to use its power.

The original expectation was not met, and the situation was completely unexpected.

Enzo thought that compared to the sword of the night, he was good at shadow witchcraft, and should be more compatible with shadow disguise. However, when he tried to control this artifact, he found that he was wrong.

The artifact represents the authority of the gods!

This shadow disguise mask has an indelible connection with the shadow god Lyles. Enzo tried many methods, but couldn't control its power. Therefore, this artifact is even useless in his hands.

"I was careless" Enzo frowned slightly.

He had used the power of the Sword of Night before, and although it consumed a lot of energy, he could barely control it. That was because the Goddess of Night had been sleeping in the Kingdom of God for too long, and the connection with the Sword of Night had become weak, so Enzo took advantage of it.

"What can I do?" Enzo was a little distressed.

Shadow Disguise was Lyles's artifact. If the mark on it could not be erased, Enzo could not control it at all. But it was not easy to remove the mark on a god created by a god himself.

"The easiest way is to kill the God of Shadow."

A trace of coldness flashed in Enzo's eyes, but then he shook his head and said, "But it is too difficult to do so. The God of Shadow is different from the God of Voodoo. As an ancient god, he has too many ways to save his life."

"What's more, I may not be able to defeat the God of Shadow now!"

According to the Shadow Crows distributed in the plains of Essos, Enzo was in control of the news in the Kingdom of Night at any time. Since the end of the War of the Three Gods a month ago, the first thing the Goddess of Night did after returning to the kingdom was to fall asleep.

Therefore, this ally could not provide any help to Enzo in a short time.

"Emerald Crow!"

"Killing Crow!"

Then, Enzo called out twice again, and two rays of light, one green and one dark, flew out of his body, turning into the Emerald Crow and the Killing Crow respectively.

After a month of recuperation, the two demigod creatures have recovered.

"Do you need to fight again, Enzo?"

As soon as the Emerald Crow came out, it landed on Enzo's shoulder, twisted its little head and looked around, frowned and said, "Is it still this continent? Sunny hates it here."

"No need to fight, I just want to see how you have recovered."

Enzo shook his head and said, "Since you don't like staying outside, go back."

After that, the Emerald Crow turned into green light and disappeared.

"Humph! Next time you call me, don't call that stinky bird." Seeing the Emerald Crow disappear, Hirsch snorted coldly.

Enzo pretended not to hear it at all.

"Tell me, servant, why are you calling me?" Hirsch asked immediately afterwards.

"How much do you know about the Temple of Slaughter?" Enzo asked directly.

"The Temple of Slaughter?"

Hirsch's eyes flashed, and he said faintly, "That was my former glory. In ancient times, it was the place of worship for the followers of Slaughter. Although I fell later, there is still a sacred fire hidden in it!"

Enzo's eyes lit up.

"Sure enough, the sacred fire of the God of Slaughter is hidden in the Temple of Slaughter!"

The basis of the existence of gods, in addition to themselves, divinity represents power, and sacred fire is an opportunity. When a demigod creature becomes powerful to a certain extent, it needs to ignite the sacred fire to become a true god.

Enzo has seen the form of sacred fire.

Not long ago, the War of the Three Gods ended, and Lucyles disassembled the God of Voodoo. The cube engraved with the spell was a sacred fire.

"Servant, do you desire power?"

At this time, Hirsch suddenly spoke again, and said in a deep voice: "My divine fire is kept in the Temple of Slaughter. As long as I can get it, I can become a god again, and as my most loyal servant, you will also benefit!"

"I can give you the status of God's Guardian!"

Hirsch promised the conditions and asked Enzo to take it to the Temple of Slaughter and become a god again through the divine fire.

Enzo rolled his eyes and was a little speechless.

As the Slaughter Crow absorbed more divinity, he was getting closer and closer to becoming a true god. However, before obtaining the divine fire, Hirsch could not take that step.

"When can the Temple of Slaughter be opened?" Enzo asked in a deep voice.

"About. Half a year later?"

Hirsch hesitated, a little uncertain, and said: "I can feel the location of the Temple of Slaughter, but I can't be sure when it will be opened."

"Half a year?" Enzo thought.

"Before the Temple of Killing opens, we must make preparations in advance." Suddenly, Hirsch spoke again, with a serious tone: "I can feel that besides me, there are many Sons of Killing."

"Every Son of Slaughter has the ability to feel the temple."

"When the Temple of Killing opens, whoever can enter it and obtain the divine fire can become the true God of Killing!"

"I understand this." Enzo nodded, his eyes twinkling.

Since the Temple of Killing will not open for another half a year, such a long time is enough for Enzo to prepare a lot of things. As the God of Killing, as a sixth-level life form in its heyday, when the Temple opens, it will inevitably attract people in the Lost Continent. A shock.

Lost continent, abandoned place.

In the dark and damp cave, there was silence all around. The fire burning in the open space reflected a shadow, sitting alone in the corner.

"It took a month for my injury to finally recover."

Lyles whispered. Exactly one month had passed since the Battle of the Three Gods. After he escaped from the Essos Plains, he recuperated in the Abandoned Land. The damage caused by Luciles during the battle finally recovered.

"Next, it's time to settle the score with that wizard!"

Lyles stood up slowly, with a cold luster in his eyes. The loss of the artifact that symbolized authority not only meant humiliation for any god, but also reduced his own strength to a lower level.

Therefore, after regaining his strength, the first thing Lyles had to do was to regain the shadow disguise of the god.

Hiss!

Suddenly, there was a hissing in the silent cave, and from a corner not far away, a small black snake with long fingers slowly swam in.

Lyles frowned slightly, his eyes flickering.

The next moment, the little black snake instantly turned into ashes, leaving no trace of flesh and blood, as if it had never appeared.

"Humph! Get out!" Lyles said coldly with no expression on his face.

In the dark and humid cave, the rock walls were full of gaps, and slender little black snakes kept coming out of them, converging in the open space in front to form an old man in black robes.

"As expected of Lord Lyles, the God of Shadows."

The old man in black robe clapped his palms lightly and praised, "I have tried my best to hide my aura, but you still discovered it."

"If you have any last words, just say them." Lyles said indifferently.

After losing the battle between the three gods on the plains of Essos, Lyles had accumulated a lot of anger in his heart. He was in a bad mood at this time, and after feeling someone spying on him, he already had murderous intentions.

"Haha, I came here specifically not to seek death." The old man in black robe said with a smile.

"Oh? Then give me a reason not to kill you."

Lyles raised his brows, the shadows around him floated, and the power unique to the gods came out.

"We have a common enemy!"

The old man in black robe spread out his palms, took a step forward and said, "I don't know what the reason is? Dear Lord, the God of Shadows."

The flames not far away flickered, reflecting the face of the old man in black robe.

Lyles narrowed his eyes and seemed to remember something. He hesitated and said, ": What do you mean? I really want to see you there?"

"I'm honored that you still remember me. That happened countless years ago." The old man in black robe said quietly, with a trace of nostalgia on his face.

"Are you that black snake?" Lyles' eyes flashed.

In his mind, he recalled the memories that had been dusted for countless years. It was during the First Era. In the territory of the night goddess Luciles, in the Kingdom of Essos, a demigod-level black snake caused chaos, and was eventually killed by Lucy. Les suppressed.

"You're actually still alive?" Lyles was a little surprised.

Old Snake flashed his eyes and said faintly, "Although I was trapped in the Kingdom of God by Lucilece for countless years, I also escaped the final battle. Relying on the eternal existence of the Kingdom of God, I was lucky enough to survive until now."

"What do you want from me?" Lyles frowned.

Although he recognized the origin of Old Snake, the murderous intention in his heart was not diminished. Although the two were both old monsters from the First Era, they had no friendship with each other. Lyles could only feel a little emotion when he saw the other person. .

"I'm looking for Mr. Lyles, of course, to deal with our common enemy!" Old Snake said quietly, his vertical pupils flashing with a cold luster.

"You mean Lucy Rice?"

Lyles sneered and mocked, "Have you lost your mind after being trapped in the maze of night for countless years? Why do you think you are qualified to cooperate with me?"

"Hmph! Does a demigod creature seem to be seeking revenge from the gods?"

Feeling the teasing eyes of the God of Shadows, the expression on Old Snake's face did not change. He said softly, "If this is still an era when gods rule everything, maybe I am indeed not qualified to cooperate with Mr. Lyles."

"However, it is a pity that the gods have already ushered in dusk."

"Lord Lyles disdains demigods, but as far as I know, on the plains of Essos, you fought with a demigod wizard, but in the end it took you three months to defeat him! "

Lyles's face changed slightly, murderous intent burst out in his eyes, and he said in a cold voice: "How do you know what happened a month ago?"

"Oh, the battle between the three gods is not a secret."

Old Snake sneered and said, "Lucy Lais suppressed me in the Kingdom of God for countless years. I will take revenge on her sooner or later, so when I first arrived in the Lost Continent, I was already searching for information about her."

"Now, my believers have long been hiding in the Essos Plain, keeping an eye on the movements of the Kingdom of Night, so I know everything that happens there."

"For example, the battle of the three gods, and the fall of Lord Moron, the god of voodoo!"

"Your believers?"

The words of the old snake attracted Lyles' attention. He frowned and asked in a deep voice, "What does that mean?"

The old snake smiled and raised one arm.

The palm opened, and a ball of light condensed. Lyles, who was not far away, shrank his pupils and exclaimed in disbelief, "Is this the power of faith!?"

"That's right!"

The old snake's pupils flickered, staring at the ball of light in his palm, with an intoxicated expression on his face, and he said faintly, "What a wonderful power, it is continuously gathered through the offerings of believers."

"So, you have come this far!"

A trace of solemnity flashed across Lyles' face, and there was a little more fear in his eyes when he looked at the old snake.

If a demigod wants to be deified, besides a divine fire, the ability to absorb faith is also one of the essential conditions. Since the old man Snake has condensed the power of faith, it means that he is only one divine fire away from being deified.

In this case, Lyles had to be vigilant.

There are few divine fires in the world, and each one is precious. Except for a few that are lost, most of them have owners. If the old man Snake wants to be deified, then plundering a divine fire is the easiest way.

"Please rest assured, Mr. Lyles."

As if seeing the fear of the God of Shadow, the old man Snake shook his head and said, "I have no intention of spying on your divine fire, and I don't have the strength to do so."

Lyles's expression eased slightly, but he was still vigilant in his heart.

Indeed, although the old man Snake already has the power of faith, he is still a demigod in essence. Even if Lyles has lost the artifact at this time, he is still not something he can contend with.

"If you have anything to say, just say it directly." Lyles said coldly.

"It's simple. I hope to become an ally with Lord Lyles!"

The old man Snake stopped beating around the bush and said in a deep voice: "Luciles is our common enemy. After the battle of the three gods, her power has reached a higher level. If you want to deal with her, you must gather more forces."

"Although my current strength may not be enough to cooperate with Lord Lyles on an equal footing, I have mastered the power of faith and am only one step away from becoming a god. As long as I get a divine fire, I can become a true god!"
