An unusually strong movement shook the entire swamp, making the surrounding space seem to start to tremble. The twisted shadows of the mangroves dormant deep in the mist let out a low moan. The muddy water on the water surface they stepped on was extremely cold, splashing and falling.
A biting chill on the ankles or arms.
The sweeping strong wind swept up the dead branches and leaves destroyed by the artillery fire into the sky, temporarily blocking the sky and the sun, making it difficult to see the road ahead. In the thick smoke and dust, Lin Ge, who was running at the back of the team, suddenly stopped.
He stepped back and glanced back towards the center of the fiercest battlefield. He immediately saw a scene that shocked him: dark cracks spread all over the night sky, and vicious scars swallowed up everything around him, whether it was
The branches, leaves and sand swept by the strong wind, the swimming fish and insects and birds that were still in the storm...all dead and living things were drawn into those cracks, like being caught by a giant beast hiding behind the night.
Swallowed, annihilated the sound in an instant.
On the contrary, those cracks are gradually expanding, quickly occupying the entire field of vision, as if they are swallowing up the entire sky. They are like greedy whales on the seabed, swallowing dozens of tons of seawater every time they eat, and swallowing up the entire sky.
Microorganisms, minerals and marine organisms are all swallowed into the belly and transformed into nutrients for the body to grow. But it would be a big mistake to think that you can see substances like flesh and blood and organs in those cracks. In fact, there is only eternal life inside.
The darkness of the end is spreading, cutting off people's sight and falling into a hollow and silent abyss.
They exuded an empty and blank attraction. After just staring at it for a short while, Ringer felt that his soul was about to fall into those cracks, be swallowed, chewed, and decomposed into the residue of memory until it completely disappeared.
No more traces.
He looked back in time, and then he felt as if he had just struggled to climb out of the water. The few hairs on his forehead were wet with sweat and clinging to his skin. He looked at Fei Fei, who was at the front of the team.
Countess Neville, who had stopped and looked back, asked in a hoarse voice: "What is that?"
Among everyone present, perhaps only this well-informed vampire elder could recognize the origin of these cracks.
Neville stared silently in the direction of the battlefield, and after a few seconds she said: "It's the Grand Judge of the Balance of Order. It seems like she took action herself."
The Grand Judge of the Balance of Order!?
When Ringer heard this, he subconsciously said: "Shouldn't she be in Laisenberg?"
Moreover, the Earth Witch - Crimson Nightgate did not appear either.
"Who knows?" Neville's eyes were inexplicably deep. Unlike Ringer, who had crossed the threshold of demigods, she could look directly at the existence of those cracks, but she also felt an uncomfortable breath lingering on the tip of her nose, and the looming destruction:
"Perhaps she felt that this operation was very important, so she returned all the way back to the Sicilia Peninsula. As for why the legendary construct mecha Crimson Night Gate was not there, she might be worried that too much movement would alert the swamp aliens.
Right? You have to know that if the Silver Moon led by Gundaruf are a group of lunatics, then the other swamp aliens are nothing more than a group of cowards who only dare to take advantage of the emptiness within the Judgment Holy See to seek some superficial benefits for themselves.
.If they want to muster up the courage to confront the Feiye Mente head-on, even the temptation of eternal life may not be enough."
There was a lot of sarcasm in her tone, but Ringer didn't know much about the situation inside the swamp, so he didn't comment. He asked: "You seem to know the Grand Inquisitor very well?"
"Because I have fought with her."
Neville's answer surprised everyone. Even Leticia looked at her grandma in surprise, as if she didn't know about this: "When was it? Why didn't I know, grandma?" "Because I didn't tell you." Neville was still looking at the space cracks in the distant horizon, with a sarcastic look flashing in her eyes, but it was not directed at the Grand Judge, but at the guy who was fighting with him. I'm afraid
It's Gundaruff. As proud and arrogant as he is, he will never know what a terrifying force he is facing. It is not like human power, but a god, a true god.
"For many years, the aliens on the peninsula have all believed that Gundaruf's brother, that is, the 'thirsty blood moon' Wolfgang, was a member of the Valenhild family and Neo during the dark purge period.
He died together with me in the endless melee between the Ersu family. However, in fact, Wolfgang is not such a stupid guy. He has to fight to the death with his enemies. If he wants to escape, I can't force him to escape.
Leave him behind. Therefore, the real situation is that the news of our fighting attracted the attention of the Judgment Holy See, so the mysterious Grand Inquisitor descended from the sky, and then——"
Neville was silent for a while, lowered her voice after a while, and squeezed out a few words between her teeth stiffly: "Kill us."
From these five simple words, anyone can hear her unwillingness and powerlessness. Whether it is the "silver-eyed countess" Neville or the "thirsty blood moon" Wolfgang, they were both aliens on the peninsula at that time.
However, he was easily defeated by the Grand Inquisitor and became an insignificant part of his glorious record. What makes Neville luckier than Wolfgang is that she has the power of eternal life.
Therefore, death is not the end, but the shame this battle brought to her is still engraved in her heart and has never been forgotten.
Moreover, it also led to a more serious consequence.
"There is no doubt that the Grand Inquisitor killed me with his own hands, but then, the rabid dogs of the Balance of Order used their keen sense of smell to capture the traces left after my resurrection, and reported the news to the Grand Inquisitor.
, causing him to write the file of [Eternal Fang] with his own hands. It was from this moment on that Leticia came into the sight of the Judgment Holy See." Neville looked at her granddaughter with an apology in her eyes: "This is me
Sorry for the oversight, Leticia."
"It doesn't matter!" The girl shook her head vigorously and comforted her grandma with a serious look on her face: "It doesn't matter to me, as long as grandma is fine. Anyway, I am good at hiding, whether it is the mad dog of the Order Balance or those messy guys.
, you can’t even find me!”
She sounded proud at the end and puffed out her chest, but these words did not seem to comfort Neville, but instead made her eyes flash with a hint of shame.
After all, it is not a glorious thing to make a little girl fearful, hide everywhere, and finally get used to being chased by the enemy.
Neville shook her head, temporarily expelling these complicated thoughts from her mind. She said to Linge and others: "Since the Grand Inquisitor has taken action, Gundaruff will not last long, so we should leave here quickly."<
/p>
Lin Ge frowned slightly: "Is the Grand Judge really that strong?"
He saw with his own eyes that Gundaruff devoured the Church of the Sin, plunging Qiyu Port into darkness. The giant wolf, as huge as a mountain, brought an indescribable sense of oppression, and even made people feel as if they had seen something only in legends.
An ancient monster that only appears in the novel. However, is it vulnerable to a blow in front of the Grand Inquisitor?
Regarding this question, Neville just glanced at him and said calmly: "When she killed me and Wolfgang, it only took less than three minutes."
Gundaluff's strength may be stronger than hers, but it's definitely not that much stronger.
Ringer then shut up and stopped questioning.
The group of people quickly made a decision to no longer pay attention to the movements on the battlefield and continued to move towards the outskirts of the swamp. But before leaving, Linge saw Saint Xalia standing there blankly, looking at the dark cracks in the sky.
He was lost in thought, and his eyes seemed a little blank. He stopped when he passed by the girl and asked: "What are you thinking about, Saint Xalia?"
Saint Xalia was stunned for a while before she reacted. As if she had just realized that Linge was standing next to her, she murmured: "I don't know, Linge, but I always feel that that power... is very familiar."<
/p>
Familiar? Is she referring to the power used by the Grand Inquisitor?
Speaking of which, I seem to have forgotten to ask Neville which path of magician the Grand Inquisitor is. Perhaps it is also the [Priest] path, so that it can be familiar to Saint Shalia, who holds the power of destiny.<
/p>
"Linge." Saint Xalia suddenly looked at him, her clear golden eyes flashing with some kind of silent sorrow and melancholy premonition: "Tell me, is it possible that the chief judge is also..."<
/p>
"No chance."
Lin Ge interrupted her without hesitation and said word by word: "It's just your illusion. Don't think too much, Saint Xalia."
"But..."
But sometimes a premonition is not groundless, but a revelation of fate.
Saint Xalia wanted to say this, but Ringer didn't give her a chance to speak and grabbed her hand: "No matter what it is, it may not be important. The most important thing now is to get out of here."
He pulled Saint Xalia and chased after his companions who had left. The shepherd girl did not resist and let the young man pull her to run forward, but her eyes still looked back from time to time, her eyes were sad, sad, and a little...
Confused.
Perhaps, all encounters in this world are destined. Just as it was destined a long time ago that she would meet the young man holding her hand in the municipal square of Linwell City, tonight, she will also meet
Meet another person and understand another kind of truth.
