Chapter 216 Turn
The Demon King fled, and the remaining demons followed him away. The few remaining monsters on the field were also subdued by the people of the Vatican.
"Bishop Kale!" The two cardinals Gungud and Good stepped forward anxiously.
Kale shook his head and said, "Let's talk about it when we get back."
He looked at the orc forest covered in blood, the countless corpses, and the wounded orcs lying wailing on the ground, and sighed deeply.
He had experienced this hellish scene on earth once before in Luo Saiqiao, and today he witnessed it again in the Orc Forest.
Those who die are always innocent people who know nothing.
After the fierce battle, all that was left for the survivors were their devastated and broken homes.
While the orcs on this side were cleaning up the mess in pain, Lu Yi on the other side was also caught up in new trouble.
"…What are you doing here? Are you really crazy?!"
Lu Yi looked at Wavelin, who had an honest look on his face, with a headache.
Honest people always do dishonest things.
"How dare you follow me into the gap? Do you know where this is? This is the land of the abyss!"
Wavelin was scolded by him, but there was a faint smile in his eyes, and he looked like he was happy to be scolded.
Although Rant's appearance had changed, he could feel that Rant was still the Rant he knew, and perhaps he had never changed from the beginning to the end.
But there was something that Rant could not tell the world or his close friends.
Lu Yi became even angrier.
Paso had made him very angry, and now Weverlin was no less angry.
It seems that he is the one who is worrying about his life, while others don't take their own life seriously at all.
"I know the gap leads to the abyss." Wavelin tugged at his clothes, just like he did in Saint-Dover. "But aren't you here too? Rand..."
They once went through the Orc Forest together and supported each other in the Trial of the Son of God.
They are always together.
He is the captain of the personal guard knights under his command. Wherever Rand is, Wavelin should be there too. There is no doubt about it.
As he spoke, Wavelin shuddered uncontrollably.
Lu Yi frowned and shouted to the outside of the door: "Where are the blanket and the magic stone I want?!"
The Abyss cannot drive the space ring made of magic stones from the Isaiah continent. Lu Yi cannot go against the obvious logic to take out supplies from the system space, so he can only ask the demons for what he needs.
Wavering needs thick blankets and a magic stone for warmth.
This is the extremely cold abyss. He is not a demon, nor is he the Rant transformed by Mios. Wavelin is a pure human from beginning to end - and he is not even a high-level light mage.
The attributes restrain each other, the elements collide, and the power of light in Wavelin's body will only make his life in the abyss more difficult.
“Here it comes—”
A lazy voice came from the other side of the door.
Arthur was dragging a blanket in one hand and tossing a scarlet magic stone in the other, staggering towards Rant.
Lu Yi quickly stopped Wavelin's hand from drawing the sword, "Calm down!"
Arthur raised his eyebrows, used magic to freeze Wavelin, and stretched out his hand to draw out his giant sword.
"Tsk, this is my territory."
The sharp sword light flashed, and the power of light attached to the hilt created bursts of black air in Arthur's palm.
But Arthur was completely unaware and held the sword of the Church to Waverin's neck.
The huge sword of the Vatican, which could cut through iron like mud, immediately cut off a few scattered hairs and continued to move forward.
Lu Yi knocked the giant sword out of Arthur's hand with his backhand and said unhappily: "This should still be my territory for the time being. You want to kill my people in front of me. Isn't that too much?"
Lu Yi snatched the blanket and magic stone from Arthur's hand without saying a word, and covered Wavelin, who was shaking unconsciously, with the blanket.
He asked Wavelin to put the magic stone in front of his chest and reminded him, "I have checked it. There is no problem with the magic stone. Don't worry about using it."
Arthur was so angry at Lant's series of actions that he sneered, "You are a little too self-righteous!"
I didn't take him seriously at all!
Although they had not been together for a long time, Lu Yi was already able to tell whether the straightforward Abyss Demon King Arthur was really angry or just pretending to be angry, and how angry he was.
"Give me a moment."
Lu Yi patted Wavelin's head, stood up and pushed Arthur out.
Arthur had a sullen face, but his feet still moved according to his strength.
"You'd better think carefully about what to say to please me. I'm not a human who can be fooled..."
Lu Yi closed the door and turned to look at him.
"Yes, I do have something to tell you—"
…
…
That night, when Lu Yi opened his eyes, he found that he was indeed standing in the eternal night again.
——Most likely he has come to call for punishment.
Relying on the concealment of the black robe, Lu Yi raised his eyes and looked around.
Tonight should not be a formal meeting. The black-robed gods in the circle are not all present, but standing scattered around.
Including him, there were only four people.
There was him, Callisto, and there should be an orc insider, so what about the other one? What was his identity?
The burial grounds on the Isaiah continent are scattered. The only two burial grounds for humans are in the Vatican and Braceside College.
The god on the throne suddenly appeared, Lu Yi retracted his gaze and followed everyone in paying homage.
"Good day, my God..."
Mios still waved his hand impatiently, his expression quite gloomy.
"Good day everyone, there is only one thing today, I want to know why the prayer of victory has not been heard? Son, I need an explanation."
Lu Yi had prepared a speech early in the morning, and without hesitation he put the blame on Arthur, the Lord of the Abyss, and said that he was powerless to make the demons submit because of his lack of strength.
He spoke very earnestly, his eyes were clear and innocent, without any sign of selfishness.
"The abyss is indeed full of people who are more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything..."
Mios stared at him and pondered for a moment. The next second he snapped his fingers, and the aurora fell in the dark night, with flowing light and brilliant colors.
The broken stars slowly hovered above Lant's head.
Mios said: "For seven days, I will grant you the power of eternal night."
As His promise spread in the eternal night, the remaining star hanging above Lant's head suddenly exploded and turned into starlight that sprinkled on his head and hair.
Lu Yi only felt a warm current flowing into the depths of his soul, bringing him a refreshing feeling like a long-drought finally ending in a downpour. The magic power in his body rose rapidly, reaching an astonishing height in an instant.
He could feel that the power did not completely belong to him, but the mobilization of that power when he intended was real.
That's enough.
Lu Yi leaned forward and nodded, his tone excited: "Praise the Lord God! Believers will never let down the glory of the Eternal Night!"
Mios nodded indifferently and said casually: "It will be difficult for those Abyss rubbish to quickly capture the Orc Forest at the moment."
"But it doesn't matter. I still have a backup plan that can catch them off guard..."
Mios finally smiled, "Someone will contact you tomorrow, and you will know what to do then."
Lu Yi lowered his head deeply, and a sense of foreboding grew in his heart.
Lant's side was easily overturned, but others did not receive such treatment.
The gods who are high above have always been moody. In the last second they were reasonable and easy to talk to the Son of God, but in the next second they had another look when they were holding others accountable.
His fingertips tapped regularly on the throne. The light "ta-ta-ta" sounds were unusually abrupt and oppressive in the silence.
The gods remained silent, and the messengers under their seats dared not act rashly, with their heads lowered one after another.
After a long while, the god on the throne finally said in an ambiguous voice, "How come the people from the Holy See arrived so timely? Iris, it seems that your control over the Holy See is not as thorough as you said."
Lu Yi immediately turned his eyes to Callisto beside him.
Iris took a few steps forward, her voice blurred by a uniform tone, unable to tell the ups and downs of her emotions.
"Everyone in the Vatican has their own agenda. Even a consensus reached immediately could be overturned in an instant. Lord, I am incompetent and cannot stop those stubborn archbishops. Please punish them—"
"waste!"
Mios's fingertips suddenly tapped on the seat, and with a dull "dong" sound, the regular knocking sound stopped abruptly.
Iris under the throne was knocked several meters away by an invisible force, and then hit the transparent barrier heavily and slowly slid down.
He knelt on one knee, swallowed the fishy taste in his throat, and said respectfully and meekly: "Thank you, God, for your grace!"
Mios no longer looked at him, and Iris knelt alone a few meters outside the circle, out of tune with the other apostles in the circle, like an outsider.
What was Callisto thinking at this moment? Lu Yi withdrew his gaze silently.
"Let me see who's left—"
…
Lu Yi waited for a whole day for Mios's words "someone will come", but it never happened.
He was dominated by the ominous feeling in his heart the whole day, and even Wavelin didn't get a good look from him.
Not to mention the Abyss Demon King who he ignored the entire time.
Relying on the blessing of the magic of eternal night, Lu Yi, who had never given Arthur much face, became even more aggressive and was even reluctant to give him a perfunctory smile.
Lu Yi stood on the top floor of the stone fortress, squinting at the distance under the torn sky of the sun and the moon.
When he descended into the abyss, it was already the end of the Red Wave period. The red waves on the surface of the abyss had gradually subsided, leaving only some seemingly harmless but actually deadly mist. There were a few scattered gaps in the mist, and the all-consuming darkness was no longer clear.
"Rant, what are you looking at?"
Arthur took the trouble to approach him and asked with interest.
Lu Yi replied casually: "Let's see when I can leave."
Arthur was stunned for a moment, then he smiled as if he realized something and said, "Yes, when the demons invade the Isaiah continent in the future, we will be able to occupy the best and most beautiful places..."
He didn't mind that Lu Yi didn't respond and continued to sketch out the picture of the future with relish.
"The Isaiah continent is really a great place. Although I only stayed there for half a day yesterday, I was still able to see that the continent is completely different from the abyss. Did you hear the birds singing in the orc forest? Crisp! So powerful!
"The roars of these ghost birds in the abyss are like the howling of ghosts and wolves. When I go to the Isaiah continent in the future, I will definitely catch two birds with the most beautiful voices and hang them on the head of my bed, and let them sing every day..."
"Arthur." Lu Yi interrupted him, his eyes turning from the bare ground line in the distance to Arthur's angular face.
Arthur paused, "If it's something I don't like to hear, then don't say it."
Lu Yi glanced at him and said, "The Lord God has changed his original plan to capture the Orc Forest first."
"I know that the Lord God sent down an oracle at noon, and Barzi also came to tell me about it."
"So what do you think?" Lu Yi asked, staring into his red eyes.
"Ideas?" Arthur looked away, also looking at the barren and desolate distance. "What ideas can I have? Of course, we will follow the instructions of the Lord God. From the beginning to the end, Barz and I just want to lead the demons out of the abyss."
"That's all."
…
The next day.
Lu Yi looked at the suddenly enlarged gap outside the window with a serious expression.
Wavelin, who was standing next to him, had an equally grim expression.
"What happened?" Wavelin asked, "Why did so many gaps suddenly appear overnight?!"
The orcs were almost wiped out by the appearance of only three gaps in the Orc Forest. Wavelin couldn't even imagine how many beasts and demons these many gaps would bring to the Isaiah continent.
Not to mention the orc forest, I'm afraid that all areas where life spreads will be affected!
Lu Yi replied in a deep voice: "The plan has changed. The Abyss has changed from targeting the Orc Forest to an all-out attack."
Mios couldn't wait any longer.
Perhaps the god originally had the idea of attacking them one by one from the Boneyard, but the result in the Orc Forest directly made him change his plan.
The monsters in the abyss are not endless, but Mios doesn't care.
As long as everything can go according to His ideas, it is enough.
As for how many Warcraft and demons were left after the incident? He would not waste his energy worrying about it!
After all, compared to the intelligent species on the Isaiah continent that can provide pure faith, the creatures in the abyss are even poor in souls.
Perhaps the only help they could offer was to pave the way for Him.
"Can the gods interfere in the affairs of the Isaiah continent at will?" Wavelin asked.
"Shut up!" Lu Yi frowned.
Although he was not clear about what rules the gods were subject to, he was certain that Mios had completely disregarded all of them. Even if there might be backlash later, he would resolutely push forward his plan.
"You follow me now, and you will leave immediately after we return to Isaiah through the gap, understand?"
Wavering said nothing.
Lu Yi repeated again: "Do you understand?!"
His eyes were serious, and Wavelin had to nod slightly, "I see."
Weverlin wanted to ask himself if he had become a burden to Rand, but he was afraid that the answer would be unacceptable to him.
He followed Rant into the gap with the will to sacrifice his life, but in the end he was of no use at all. Instead, he dragged Rant down and made him consider everything for him.
Of course Lu Yi noticed the dim look in Wavelin's eyes, but the situation was critical at the moment and he really didn't have the extra time and energy to comfort him.
The surrounding Warcraft and demons were ready to enter the gap. Lu Yi took Wavelin to where Arthur and Balz were.
"Shall we set off now? Is our destination still the Orc Forest?" Lu Yi asked.
Arthur shook his head and said, "No, our destination today is that academy..."
Lu Yi's heart skipped a beat, and then he heard Barz add: "Brayside College."
"Yes, yes, it's Bryside College."
The author has something to say:
An informal QA drama:
Question: Why did Mios, who had been dormant for so long, become unable to sit still at the last moment?
Answer: Because he really couldn't stand Ares' beating anymore!
