Rhodes walked out of the room, and there was a thick black fog outside Star Ring Town, billowing like dark clouds.
That heavy momentum seemed to crush this small piece of fire.
Rhodes was surprised to find that just one day later, the black fog seemed much thicker than before.
He walked to the junction of firelight and darkness and gently stretched out his hand.
The severe pain on his skin showed that human nature has reached its limit. The black mist penetrated the soul's protection, eroding his body and corrupting his soul.
Rhodes immediately retracted his hand, only to see that the fingertips were already dark, and the remaining black mist wrapped around his fingers.
Even after leaving the dark world and entering the space illuminated by fire, it still did not dissipate immediately. Instead, it struggled and jumped like a small insect dug out of the soil, trying to get into his skin.
Rhodes felt nauseous and clapped his hands several times before the life-like black mist dissipated unwillingly.
As human nature continues to be purified, the fingers will soon return to their original state.
Rhodes' face turned gloomy. He had never seen such a powerful black mist before, and the protection of humanity was as fragile as paper in front of it.
Nothing can protect him except fire.
Rhodes glanced at the dream. In just a few seconds, his humanity had dropped by 600 points.
The limit of human nature is to decrease by 100 points per second, which is also the limit of its protection. As long as the pollution exceeds this limit, it will corrode it.
Of course, there are exceptions.
Mavis's curse seems to have no upper limit, and it once sucked the humanity out of hundreds of thousands of people in Rhodes in a few seconds.
But under normal circumstances, if you want stronger protection, you must take the flower of human nature.
However, that is a very extravagant usage. Flower of Humanity has many uses. It is best not to do this unless necessary.
"What happened? Why did it suddenly become like this?"
Rhodes looked at the black mist with slight doubts in his heart. Just as he was about to walk into the town hall, he suddenly saw a light of fire falling rapidly in the distance.
With a bang, the fire light dissipated, revealing four figures.
One of them is obviously a guardian. He is wearing a guardian robe and has the triple flame symbol symbolizing the crown of fire on his collar.
Next to him is a first-level combatant, who also has a triple flame mark on his collar, but the outermost one is not as big as a guardian, and looks very conservative.
The other one is obviously a first-level combatant. The triple flame mark on the collar is very dull. Only a shadow can be seen on the outermost level. It should actually be two and a half. This is what Sauron's flame mark looks like.
They jointly carried a person, who was obviously not the fire bearer, but a shadow warrior from Kalil's secret army. He was wearing a black robe with a black sun logo on the collar.
He was obviously in a bad state. His whole body was covered with black energy, and some parts had turned into monsters. His long nails protruded from the black energy, which was very scary.
The light from the remaining fire seemed to make him very uncomfortable. He twisted and struggled as hard as he could, but was firmly controlled by the three people.
There is powerful spiritual energy surging in each person, which not only controls him, but also protects him from the erosion of the black mist.
The moment they landed, they knocked open the door and ran away without even noticing Rhodes.
Rhodes followed closely and walked in.
In the hall, the guardian shouted: "Your Majesty the Archbishop, Black Claw Amora's situation is out of control. Part of his body has begun to transform into a beast. He has lost his will and is about to awaken."
Rhodes was shocked, knowing that Black Claw Amora was an unawakened person who chose to fuse with monsters to gain power, but he didn't know the extent of the fusion.
A warrior of this order will let the monster sleep in his body and then use its power to fight, so he is called the unawakened one.
But once the monster wakes up, he completely loses his human identity, falls into darkness, and becomes a monster forever.
Therefore, "awakening" is the most terrifying word for those who have not yet awakened.
The white robe flashed, and Horus had already arrived beside them. A powerful and solid white light appeared on him and disappeared into the body of the poor unawakened person.
All the soul characteristics of members of the Holy Church are bright light, which also had a name in ancient times.
"The power of light".
To become the Archbishop of the Holy Church, Horus's bright light characteristics are naturally superior to all others.
This clerical attribute has many functions. Depending on the direction of training, it can heal, restore, dispel diseases, curse, soothe the mind, and can also be used for combat, reconnaissance, detection, screening, etc.
Horus's bright light properties have reached the level of perfection. He first helped Amora resist corrosion, and then calmed his mind, healed his wounds, and restored his life.
Water-like light wandered back and forth on Amora's body, and his black energy dissipated little by little, revealing his torn clothes and scarred body, as well as his right hand and right leg that were about to turn into animal limbs. p>
Horus sweated on his forehead, and the white light on his hands became even brighter.
But the black energy on Amora's body has never been eliminated, and her right hand and right leg have not recovered.
Suddenly, Amora's eyes opened wide, her eyes were red, and she made a weird sound from her mouth. The black energy that had not been left suddenly increased sharply, and long black hair grew out of her right hand and right leg, which was weird and evil.
The spiritual energy was quickly released from his body.
"Help me!"
Horus suddenly shouted, and the three of them immediately stepped forward and held Amora firmly down.
The white light on Horus's hand lit up like a sun, shooting back and forth on Amora. More black energy emerged from his body, but it was instantly dispersed by the white light.
I don’t know how long I was busy, but Amora finally calmed down and the black energy dissipated, but my right hand and right foot could not change back.
"It's temporarily stable."
Horus was sweating heavily and took several deep breaths before he recovered.
"But the situation is not optimistic. The ancient demonic wolf itself is very unstable. He dares to choose it as a part of his body. He is very courageous. He can only wait for Mr. Megan. Maybe he still has a way."
He paused and asked.
"Is he still awake?"
The guardian replied: "The seven who are not yet awake."
Rhodes's heart moved. He remembered that the seven unawakened ones meant that the monster's body accounted for 70% of the body. This ratio was already very high. He himself was very close to the monster, and losing control was not accidental.
Horus was silent for a few seconds and asked: "Ye Feng, what is going on? Why did it become like this?"
The guardian known as Night Breeze replied: "Archbishop, when we were fighting with the plague ghosts in the plague forest, our spiritual energy changed strangely. Then, thick black mist came from all directions, and pollution and corruption increased sharply.
A large number of undead were awakened, and we were in trouble. It was he who helped us get out of trouble, but he himself..."
The three of them fell silent at the same time, as if it was a moment of silence for him.
At this time, a symbol on Horus' body lit up. He tapped it lightly, and then Megan's voice came from it.
"What's wrong? Lord Horus, I'm very busy here. If there's nothing particularly important..."
"Yes."
Horus aimed his mark at Amora.
"Is there any way?"
Megan was silent for several seconds before replying with a gloomy face: "There is no way, the corruption has penetrated deep into the core of the soul, the transformation into a beast has begun, the monster in his body has woken up, but he has not opened his eyes for the time being, it is over
, destroy him."
"Destroy?"
The soldiers led by Ye Feng immediately expressed strong opposition.
"Why? He can obviously be saved!"
"This is a first-level combatant. Why give up like this? There are no conditions here. Can't we send it back to the royal city for treatment?"
The light on the logo swept over, like Meghan’s sight.
After seeing the leader of the three guardians, he said calmly.
"Eternal shining eyes, Karama's brain, guardian of the third defense area, Lord Karama Night Breeze, with your extraordinary talent and wisdom that ordinary people cannot match, you have gone through countless hardships, failed several promotions, and died several times.
After being seriously injured, it took eighteen years to finally step into the realm of extraordinary beings and become a guardian. Your legendary story is not over yet, and subsequent chapters can continue to be written."
"But his is over."
Megan paused and continued.
"Amora, a kid from the slums, has no talent and cannot pass the test of fire. He only has a tenacious life and a strong will. Therefore, he was selected by Kalil's inhuman voice and became the great Kalil experiment.
One of the carriers."
"It took him two years to undergo several very dangerous soul transformations, and he successfully merged with the half-dead ancient demonic wolf's remains and became an unawakened person. In one step, he crossed over to a realm close to the transcendent, possessing close to first-level combat capabilities.
The power of people.”
"But power comes at a price. He is troubled by monsters all day long, with low hisses and chaotic noises, torturing his spirit forever. Unless a miracle occurs, he has no possibility of going any further, and even his life will not last long.
In short, he is cannon fodder. Being able to help the guardians who have infinite possibilities is his greatest value."
"There is no need to save him. End his suffering. You can make a badge to commemorate his glory and achievements."
At this moment, Amora miraculously opened his eyes. He looked very young and showed a somewhat green smile.
"Really, really? Can I really have a badge with my name and achievements engraved on it?"
After getting Meghan's affirmative reply, his weak smile even became a little shy.
"That's great, I don't know what to say. Thank you so much, Master Megan."
"Your Excellency Ye Feng, I have only been with you for a short time, but I am very happy. My parents, grandparents, and my whole family all died in a raid from monsters. My biggest wish is to fight them and kill them all.
They protect our heroes."
"Today I have achieved what I wanted. Please let me die. My bones hurt so much. My hands seem to be broken. I seem to be turning into a monster..."
"I, I don't want to become a monster and bring you trouble. I also hate them. Kill me and let me return to the embrace of fire, okay?"
There was silence in the hall, and the three of them did not speak. Although they got along very briefly, they had already formed an indissoluble bond.
Ye Feng's expression was dark, and he lost his voice and said, "Is there really... no way out?"
Horus sighed: "Sorry, I noticed the pollution in the core of his soul. Unless there is a miracle, otherwise..."
The white light on his hand gradually became sharper, and his wrist was slightly raised.
Just one slash would end his pain.
But at this moment, a shout interrupted him.
"Wait! I have a solution."
Horus raised his eyes in surprise and saw Rhodes striding over. He took his right hand from his crotch and took out a round drop of silver-white liquid.
