At this time, Roland and Elucard were walking on the water.
To be precise, they were walking on the vast sea south of Titan, heading north on the bright red ice road that slowly emerged from the sea.
This sea surface that looks like a sunken sunset is called the Wandering Sea.
Thousands of years ago, two-thirds of this sea was land, and there was a prosperous and developed civilization.
High elves, goblins, and dragons are far away from the Northern Wilderness, so there will be no dangerous and aggressive races like frost ghosts, ice giants, and ice dragons. Many races that are relatively peace-loving and powerful enough will choose to establish their country in the south.
At the same time, because the south is adjacent to the elemental plane, it is convenient for the professions that use elements to communicate with the elemental plane. At that time, there were a group of warriors who could use the power of the elements, such as the Fist of Fire and the Howling Striker, etc. in Farnes. There were also
Similar to the sacrificial elementalist, this kind of powerful supernatural profession is like a priest who serves the elemental lord in exchange for power, but does not require prayers, rituals, or materials. It is limited to casting spells a day and naturally replenishes the number of supernatural powers every day. It is also limited to the dragon race.
Occupations such as dragon strikers and dragon cultists are only available for employment, and pure white dancers and song moon priests are only available for high elves.
But without exception, these professions were buried along with their civilization and country, sinking into the sea forever.
When the elemental plane collapsed due to elemental beings committing suicide, these countries that abused the power of the elements too closely were also affected and impacted by the collapse of the plane because they were too closely connected to the elemental plane. Most of them
It was directly detonated, and all technologies that relied on the power of the elements for energy supply and circulation were ineffective. A considerable number of people who followed the fire element lord survived, but more than 80% of these survivors became demon followers. In the end,
One of the original cultists.
In the face of the collapse of the world, the strength of a mortal is meaningless. That continent, which is far more developed, prosperous and powerful than the northern country, was chewed and swallowed by the abyss without any resistance and sank to the bottom of the sea.
.
Just like humans being preyed upon by sharks. As these continents were dragged into the abyss, this sea that was originally as beautiful as azure gems also leached a layer of dark red liquid, dyeing the sea surface from south to north.
The blood-red color that people fear.
Although Druid's inheritance mentioned that this was the so-called "blood of Gaia" phenomenon caused by the complete destruction of the continent, Roland finally understood that this was only because this space partially overlapped with the dark red abyss.
, but the color of the abyss is projected onto the sea.
The original fire elemental plane was just a round cake spread outside the Farnes, but the current abyss is a slightly thicker spindle-shaped plane. The tip of one of its ends is embedded in the Farnes like a nail.
The southernmost part of the world penetrates the entire underground world, stretches out from the sea, and opens an invisible giant jaw that penetrates the sky and the earth. This part of the abyss above the sea dyes the sky into a permanent sunset red, and dyes the sea surface like a
It looked like it was soaked in blood.
Because of this, Roland and Elucard went all the way north from the abyss. In the end, they did not enter the underground world, but directly entered the Wandering Sea at the end.
This made Roland wary.
The greatest use of the underground world is to serve as a buffer when the Wall of Gaia breaks. It will not allow the power of dusk to leak directly to the earth and pollute and destroy the Wall of Orm. Instead, it will have a time to slowly saturate the earth.
, allowing the Saint to repair the Wall of Gaia in time.
But things are different now.
The elemental plane turned into a strange shape under the control of the Balrog. He made one end of the abyss point to the outside world of Farnes, and the other end passed through the underground world and directly reached the surface. As the abyss in the south swallowed more and more sea surface,
Large, the moment it comes into contact with Titan, it means that the devil can be teleported directly from the abyss to Titan immediately without any delay or travel delay.
You know, the northern countries are now the last continent of the Farnes. Almost all countries are bordered by land. As long as the demons can set foot on Titan, it means that they can set foot on other countries.
That would be a catastrophe. This is also the original story of Lost Christmas.
The cultists summoned their beloved god, the lost saint Higgs, to the earth. Higgs opened a passage to the abyss in Farnes in the center of the continent, and demons burning with terrible flames poured out from the destroyed world.
, destroying everything they see with hatred and jealousy.
At that time, the rivers dried up, the trees and grass withered. The earth opened a terrible hole, the power of dusk leaked from the abyss polluted the wall of Orm, the sun and moon collapsed, and the wind and rain were out of control.
Even though the Death Crow, the Law Master, and the Glorious Hand forced the main army of demons to stay near Kalal, there were still some scattered demons who escaped from the encirclement through earth walking or illusions.
Even the lowest level of devil worshipers are silver-level, and there are no demons lower than gold-level. Although demons do not have flexible origins like humans, their origins are based on race, but that is not the case.
Influence them to massacre civilians and destroy towns.
For a small town or village, without the help of powerful enough players, they will easily be razed to the ground and burned to ashes. And after almost all of the powerful enough first-line players have stepped onto the front line, the rear becomes
Feeling extremely empty.
Although enchantment wizards can flexibly teleport in groups, when they respond to a certain demon's attack, it often means that the town or village is no longer saved.
At that time, the New White Tower had only been rebuilt for two years. Due to the historical reasons of the gods, saints were not generally believed and recognized by people. In addition to the lack of leaders with sufficient prestige, two wars broke out after that.
Otherwise, the main force in that battle would not be players. The general level of players at that time was far lower than during the dusk invasion. The average level was just the silver and gold level. The second batch of players had to form a team of five or six people.
Only in this way can we ensure that we can kill the lone demon without reducing the number of troops.
But now, Roland has not only connected the people of the world as one through his faith, preventing Queen Bansa from going crazy who caused the war, but also put an end to the catastrophe that three million players worked together to survive.
Roland already has plenty of reputation. There is no need for him to watch countless people die in a war that he could have prevented, and then save the world by himself in exchange for people's admiration.
Rather than making such a hypocritical and weak choice, Roland would rather choose to defeat the enemy alone and nip the source of disaster in the cradle.
That is not Roland's personal heroism, but his obligations and responsibilities as a leader, as people's idol and belief.
Speaking of responsibility…
Looking at the land gradually emerging in the distance, Roland's pupils gradually narrowed.
"Isn't this Titan? This is"
Elucard's voice became high-pitched, and his eyes shone with excitement, but he was a little unsure.
"There is no need to doubt yourself, Elcard. This is indeed not a Titan."
Roland said solemnly: "This is Elkart."
"The land of blue silver, Elkart!" (To be continued.)
