This feeling is not unfamiliar to Fang Zheng.

The bone-chilling coldness flowed through the blood vessels of the whole body all the way to the depths of the soul. The pain it brought made people feel as if they were burned by fire. The darkness in the heart began to surge and emerge, as if someone had thrown a bomb into the burning fire of passion, just waiting for the right time to explode...

This is the power of the abyss, the dark side of human nature, the power of the dark soul.

Sure enough, burning him was the right choice.

While enduring the erosion of this power, Fang Zheng secretly rejoiced in his heart. The abyss, darkness, and evil are things that exist in every world. Where there is light, there is darkness. This is why he chose to preserve the abyss fire. Fang Zheng did not intend to become a saint. Everything has two sides. In front of children like Cui and Xia Shi, he would of course show his gentle and calm side. He would also tell Shion a bedtime story or go to the coffee shop to drink a cup of coffee brewed by Chino.

But on the other hand, when he encounters an enemy, he will kill him without mercy. Once he confirms that the opponent poses a threat to him, Fang Zheng's first reaction is to kill the opponent, eradicate the threat, and eliminate the root of the problem.

Just like in Shana's world, Fang Zheng thought Shana was nice, but he hated the maid, so Fang Zheng used the power of the prophecy wizard to give her a choice - her death made Shana very sad, but it didn't matter to Fang Zheng because he didn't like that woman and wouldn't feel any guilt about it.

Of course, he would not let Shana know about this. After all, strictly speaking, Fang Zheng "did nothing" except changing the direction of travel.

People are human because they are good and evil, smart and stupid. If you want one side and give up the other, then you are no longer human.

In this case, then I have to accept it all.

The evil of human nature.

Fang Zheng closed his eyes, and soon the soul sacrificial field appeared in front of him again, where the Fire Keeper was already ready.

"Lord Ashes."

"I know, leave the rest to me."

"OK."

Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, the Fire Keeper stepped back, and Fang Zheng walked to the altar. He looked at the Soul Fire in the center, then stretched out his hand, put it into the Soul Fire, and clenched it tightly.

The next moment, everything around began to turn upside down.

The originally warm, orange-red flames instantly turned into bluish-white, cold flames. The originally magnificent sacrificial sites around them also turned into a dilapidated ruin. Unlike the sacrificial sites that were burning with the "fire of magic", "fire of life" and "fire of order" and were well-organized, the ruins here looked chaotic, and there was not even a decent altar, only a large pile of bonfires burning in the same place.

“…”

Fang Zheng's clenched right hand began to tremble. As he moved, darkness in the shadows began to flow through the cracks in the ruins, slowly approaching the campfire.

This is the "sacrificial site" he created using the "Fire of the Abyss".

When Fang Zheng realized that burning firewood with soul fire would absorb the essence of the soul, he thought of this solution. After all, it is better to drain than to block. It is not advisable to simply exclude these dark forces. If you want to make an analogy, then in Fang Zheng's view, this is like vaccinating himself, cultivating the dark soul of the abyss to generate resistance to similar forces.

And that’s not all…

"As expected."

Looking at the black water that seemed to be attracted to the Abyss Fire, Fang Zheng's mouth curled up slightly. As the saying goes, like attracts like. No matter which world it is from, whether it is called human evil or dark soul, its essence is the same. Therefore, after entering his body, it will definitely seek resonance and merge with the existence with similar nature. And this is another purpose of Fang Zheng setting up the Abyss Fire.

trap.

Use the resonance of these chaotic dark forces to attract them to gather together, and then slowly wipe them out.

But not now.

Fang Zheng opened his eyes again, and the flames had dissipated.

This is not a place suitable for slowly "grinding" the evil of human nature. This is the enemy's battlefield, and there are other servants here...

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng turned his head and glanced at Atalanta not far away.

The slender, beautiful female hunter, her hair was not carefully processed, but with her sharp eyes and beautiful face, she had a wild beauty. I wanted to rape her, press her under me, tame this beast, and make her fall from an arrogant lioness to an obedient bitch...

The erosion of the abyss has begun.

Forcibly suppressing the fire of desire in his heart, Fang Zheng raised the sword and swung it hard at the wall in front of him. The sword flashed, and the thick wall was easily cut like tofu. A whistling cold wind emerged from the incision. Then Fang Zheng took two steps at a time and rushed out of the gap, leaping directly into the sky outside and rushing downwards.

"What's wrong with that guy?"

Watching Fang Zheng leave, Atalanta frowned and muttered. Although she didn't know what the other party was thinking, the last look he gave her clearly showed a warning of "don't follow me, or you will suffer the consequences." This made Atalanta, a hero, quite unhappy.

Not only that, when she noticed the other person's eyes, Atalanta even felt a tremor and fear from the bottom of her heart, as if the person in front of her was not a human being, but some kind of terrifying monster from the ancient times.

Although she should have gone back at this time, for some reason, the more the other party didn't want Atalanta to go, the more she wanted to go. As a servant, she actually retreated in front of a human, whether in life or in death. For Atalanta, this was not something to be proud of.

As for the young priest... Atalanta has never had a good impression of him, and with Lancer and Assassin here, there shouldn't be any problems. Then, let me go and see who this damn bastard is!

Thinking of this, Atalanta rushed to the gap in two steps and jumped.

“Bang!!”

Fang Zheng landed heavily on the ground, and the huge impact force made the ground tremble. He raised his head and looked around. This seemed to be the depths of the forest. In the distance, the shadow of the Thousand Worlds Tree Castle could be vaguely seen. It seemed that the aerial fortress had left after taking the Holy Grail. At present... who cares about so many things now!

Fang Zheng shook his head, then closed his eyes. He raised his hands, held the pitch-black sword in his hands and clenched them. Soon, the flames of the abyss began to burn on the sword, like a vacuum cleaner, absorbing the power of human evil that was stained on the pitch-black sword.

For Fang Zheng, this was a very delicate job, just like using a knife to scrape off the rough outer shell of a fruit, and then gradually smashing the outer shell into pieces that were easier to burn, and then throwing them into the fire - because only in this way could he ensure that his Abyss Fire could digest the poisonous firewood under control and transform it into powerful energy.

What is he doing?

Hiding in the shade of the trees in the distance, Atalanta observed the knight curiously. She thought he was going somewhere, but when she found him, she found him holding a great sword, standing there motionless like an old monk in meditation.

“——!”

Bright red flames suddenly erupted, enveloping the knight's body. Then, as the flames faded, the armor that had originally covered the knight's body disappeared, and in its place was a young man with black hair... It was him?

After seeing the face clearly, Atalanta was shocked. She would certainly not forget this man. When she was ambushed that day, it was this man who cooperated with ASSASSIN to attack her and almost killed her.

And he was the knight? You must be kidding!

But no matter what, I won't let go of this opportunity.

Thinking of this, Atalanta raised her longbow and aimed at the black-haired man with his eyes closed.

Just consider this as a return gift, go to hell!

Atalanta loosened her fingers while cursing under her breath.

In the blink of an eye, the arrow, which had accumulated great power, flew through the forest and headed towards the target in front of it.
