night.

The starry sky high in the sky is as bright as a sea of ​​light.

The cage of belief on the ground is like the sun falling into the world.

More than 6,000 blood soul soldiers were lying in ambush here. They used sophisticated legendary magic tools, iron-clad discipline, and rich experience in fighting demons to successfully disguise themselves as ordinary plants and trees, thus avoiding the detection of the Shadow Lord! At this moment, 6,000 blood soul warriors used their souls and power to build a huge magic circle, and 24 blood soul generals with at least 8 rings of magic power used their souls as the power center of the magic circle.

In the end, the generals and soldiers were united by the magic circle, and through the legendary magic weapon created by the guardian wizard, they guided the massive power of guardian belief and condensed a magnificent force.

From Rosen's legendary perspective, he saw waves of faith power instantly break through the tenth magic ring, enter the void outside the ring, and transform into one extremely thick ray of faith light after another.

The intensity of this faith ray is not very high, probably at Legend 3, but it wins in that its scale is extremely huge.

Blood Soul Warriors are all mortals, with an average soul strength of 4 rings. Naturally, they cannot feel the situation in the void outside the ring, but through countless times of practice, the action of building a cage is deeply ingrained in their souls.

Rosen saw that these rays of faith closed together at an astonishing speed, almost in the blink of an eye, forming a cage composed of the power of protective faith.

The only drawback is that because the warriors cannot sense the specific location of the demon, in order to prevent the demon from escaping, the cage is built relatively large, covering a large area of ​​the void.

At the same time, Rosen began to look carefully for the trace of the Shadow Lord.

He looked left and right, and also used Lai Fu's super analytical ability to look, but he still couldn't find the real body of the Shadow Lord.

There seems to be nothing in the huge cage of belief.

Rosen was startled: "Did he run away?"

It shouldn't be.

He felt it clearly. The previous ambush was also perfect. The cage was formed quickly enough. The Shadow Lord did exist. How could he not find it? At this moment, Dato from the mortal world suddenly laughed.

"Master Rosen, do you think your trap is perfect?"

"No, it hasn't."

"My master is the Lord of Shadows. No one is better than my master in stealth and sneak attack. He saw through the trap at a glance."

"He didn't even get close to this area. He was just teasing you. Hahaha~~"

Alena became a little unconfident after what she said, after all, her opponent was a powerful demon of Legend 6, and it was the first time that he appeared in Nahuat, so his power was completely unfamiliar.

Similar situations of being teased by demons, making great efforts but gaining nothing in the end, have often occurred in past demon hunting operations and are not surprising at all.

The soldiers of the Blood Soul Legion also began to lack confidence, thinking that their net was empty.

The wills of some warriors were even shaken, causing the light of faith that made up the cage to become somewhat dim.

But the generals were in no hurry to remove the cages. They all looked at Rosen, waiting for his next instructions.

Lord Sassmar, the guardian wizard far away in the capital, issued urgent instructions that in the next 24 hours, Rosen, the legendary wizard from the Natural Alliance, would be the supreme commander of the legion.

He will be the brain and eyes of the Legion, and everything must be under his command.

A thought flashed through Rosen's mind, and he immediately found the flaw.

"No, the fish is in the net!"

"It is indeed very good at hiding, hiding!"

After saying this, he looked at Dato and smiled coldly.

"If the Shadow Lord really saw through the trap, he should show up now and use his ability of shaking the magic ring to laugh at us, instead of letting you, a slave, speak."

"This unexpected situation now shows that the Shadow Lord dare not speak, because once he opens his mouth, his hiding place will be exposed!"

These words left Dato speechless.

Rosen immediately contacted Alena secretly: "Can this demon cage be shrunk step by step?"

If possible, this method can be used to directly fish out the Shadow Lord.

Unexpectedly, Aliena shook her head: "No, once formed, it can only maintain its current size, and it cannot last more than half an hour, otherwise the warriors' souls will not be able to bear it."

When Rosen heard this, he was secretly shocked and immediately felt a huge sense of responsibility.

He observed the void again, but apart from the dazzling cage of faith, he could only see various naturally rising and falling forces and shadows in the void.

The other party hid in the void very perfectly, more perfectly than the best chameleon in the world.

What should he do? He quickly thought of a solution, his eyes moving around among the thirty surviving devil followers.

Suddenly, his eyes fixed on Seglin.

The blue-haired fallen guardian mage behaved a little strangely. He remained expressionless and didn't utter a word. There was no emotion at all in his ice-blue eyes.

But this kind of behavior could be hidden from others, but not from Rosen.

Rosen had a vague feeling that this Seglin did not fall voluntarily, but was forced to do so.

In other words, he was dragged into this.

This is very useful to know.

Because Seglin has a lot of the power of the Lord of Shadows, and even more so the power of faith in the Lord of Shadows.

As long as he is willing to cooperate, through the connection of this strand of faith power, he can easily find the Lord of Darkness hiding behind.

With little time left, Rosen took immediate action.

He immediately told Alena his idea, because Alena and Seglin were colleagues and must know Seglin better than he did.

After a few seconds of silence, Alena had an idea.

"Seglin, I know you were forced."

"A saint once said that everyone in the world makes mistakes. This is not terrible. What is terrible is making mistakes and not correcting them."

"The saint also said that there has never been a savior in the world. If mortals want to survive in this cruel world, the only one we can rely on is ourselves."

"Have you forgotten all this?"

Who is the saint? Of course, it is the ten-ring strongman Fedmont who ran around the countries to appeal 800 years ago.

All the guardian mages of Nahuat claim to be "disciples of Fedmont".

In a world rampant with demons, the term "disciple" is by no means a casual name, but a group of people who truly identify with the belief and regard it as their life goal and even the meaning of their existence.

Therefore, even if he has fallen, as long as he has not fallen completely, Saint Feddmont can still have a huge influence.

Seeing this, Dato immediately said, "Seglin, don't listen to his nonsense. Think about the promise our master made to us and think about how much beauty there is in the world!"

"We clearly have the power to look down on ordinary people, but we have to suppress our desires for these ordinary people who have nothing to do with us and sacrifice our lives for them. This is extremely unfair to us!"

Aliena was furious.

“Unfair?!”

"Dato, let me ask you, where do you get the food, drink, and other things you use?"

"Who built your black stone car for you?"

"From which mortal woman's belly did your body crawl out?"

"Are your knowledge and strength all innate?"

"Now you say it's unfair. Why didn't you say it's unfair when you were weak?!"

"Answer me, Dato!"

Dato's face turned pale and blue, and he was speechless.

Aliena pointed at Dato and said, "See, this is a born devil, because he is just like the devil, he only knows how to take without knowing how to give back."

"But the saints told us that everyone has their own shortcomings and is imperfect. A single mortal is extremely fragile. Only by gathering the strength of hundreds of millions of mortals together can we overcome each other's shortcomings and achieve a great power that will dread the gods and demons."

"This is the only way for mortals like us!"

"Seglin, look at Dato again. He has the heart of a devil but not the power of a devil, so he can only serve as a dog for the real devil!"

"Look, he acts as a dog for the devil, but says the Republic is unfair. Isn't this the greatest irony in the world?"

Dato's face turned pale, but he couldn't say a word in rebuttal.

Seglin suddenly yelled, "I know all this!"

"I took one wrong step, and because of the fear of the devil I took the second and third wrong step. I can't go back."

"No, you can turn back!"

Aliena cried out.

"Help us find the demon and redeem your soul!"

Seglin's face suddenly showed a struggle.

He gritted his teeth, glared at others, and roared loudly, as if there were two souls in his body, and the two souls were fighting fiercely for control of the body.

When Rosen saw this situation, he immediately knew that it was the Lord of Shadows who was controlling him.

He immediately stared into space, searching for the slightest disturbance in his control.

As he watched, Lai Fu discovered something unusual and marked it in Rosen's calculations.

Rosen looked along the lines of the markings, but still found nothing. But just because he couldn't perceive it, it didn't mean it didn't exist.

There is not much time left, and the soldiers of the Blood Soul Legion can no longer hold on.

Rosen took a deep breath, and used a tube of mana to condense a legendary +2 Soul Oath Sword, and tentatively stabbed it at the point marked by Lai Fu.

As soon as the lightsaber was gone, a dark shadow similar to the starry night suddenly appeared in that area.

The shadow expanded rapidly and turned into an extremely huge ball in a blink of an eye. It was ten times larger than the silver-eyed demon killed by Rosen in the past. It was simply terrifying.

Immediately afterwards, Rosen felt an extremely powerful will pressing down on him, making him feel suffocated and unable to breathe.

"Mortal, I didn't want to kill too many people, but I didn't expect you to mistakenly think that I was afraid of you."

"And you use your cleverness to irritate me again and again."

"Now, I will let you have a taste of what divine punishment is!"

As these words were spoken, an incomparably huge soul blade suddenly emerged from the starry night-like shadows and was swung around the body with great force.

"Heart of the God of War" had been highly activated, and Rosen instantly severed the connection with the magic ring and avoided this terrifying attack.

But he could hide, but he couldn't hide from the cage that imprisoned the devil.

The giant blade cut through the surrounding cages at an extremely fast speed. Wherever the blade passed, the rays of faith that made up the cages were directly broken, causing the entire cage to vibrate violently.

When this shockwave reached the mortal world, large numbers of Blood Soul Warriors fell silently to the ground.

Some of them fainted, while others had their souls shattered.

With just one strike, more than 500 Blood Soul Warriors fell to the ground, and the cage of faith in the void had a huge damage and was almost pierced through.

But the belief cage is not simple either.

The damage was quickly repaired, and except for the light being slightly dimmed, the Lord of Shadows was still firmly trapped inside.

Rosen's heartbeat quickened slightly, shocked by the powerful strength of the Shadow Lord, but he had already handed over the battle authority to the Heart of the God of War and put all his computing power into it.

After dodging the attack, "Heart of the God of War" immediately connected the eleven magic rings and analyzed the opponent very calmly.

Analyze both its strength and its fighting style.

'Attack strength legendary 6.5, basic soul fluctuations weakened by 2%.'

In other words, although this attack was extremely powerful, it was not without cost.

It cost the Shadow Lord a lot of energy.

Immediately afterwards, "Heart of God of War" began its second attempt.

It used about 10 tubes of mana to condense a +3 legendary level Soul Oath Sword.

The power of this sword has reached legendary level 5, and the mana condensed in it is quite a lot.

And in the void, this power formed a huge golden lightsaber, which stabbed towards the Lord of Shadows at an extremely high speed.

The Shadow Lord's giant soul blade appeared again, sweeping violently at an extremely fast speed, directly sweeping the Soul Oath Sword.

At this moment, the Soul Oath Sword and the Shadow Giant Blade collided violently, and a fierce soul storm immediately erupted at the point of confrontation.

The storm instantly affected the Dharma Ring, causing it to vibrate significantly. In the mortal world, this was manifested as a lot of light mist inexplicably appearing in the air.

At the same time, Rosen also felt a violent soul shock, which made him feel dizzy and almost fainted on the spot.

The Soul Oath Sword was smashed to pieces by the opponent, while the Soul Blade of the Shadow Lord only bounced back slightly.

This confrontation brings “Heart of the War God” to its final conclusion.

'The target's basic soul fluctuations are weakened by 0.1%.'

'The current strength is not enough to defeat the target head-on. The probability of defeating the opponent by using skills is less than 1%, and the overall winning rate is less than 0.5%.'

'It is recommended to withdraw from this battle.'

Without the support of strength, "Heart of God of War" is not omnipotent.

"Not enough power?"

With such a meticulous plan and the unconditional trust of so many fighters, he successfully trapped his opponent, but he was unable to defeat him due to lack of strength.

A strong sense of unwillingness rose in Rosen's heart.

But less than 3 seconds after this unwillingness appeared, an extremely violent force suddenly surged from the soul connection.

The power was so great that it immediately filled the Crystal Torrent Staff, and there was still a lot of power left surging.

At the same time, Aliena's voice came: "Master Rosen, you are not fighting alone, use our power!"

Rosen was startled, then immediately understood the reason: "Aleena!"

Alena used a secret method to fiercely burn her soul and transform it into the purest power of protective belief.

At this moment, her entire body was emitting extremely astonishing fluctuations of magical power, so much so that a large number of tiny dark purple lightning bolts emerged around her body.

And she's not the only one doing this.

In the Blood Soul Legion, there are at least a thousand warriors doing the same thing.

Every warrior was burning his soul fiercely, and transformed this soul power into the purest faith, which gathered on Alena.

As the center of power, Alena endured the dual pain of a burning soul and bearing enormous power, and her crystal blue eyes showed the relief after giving it her all.

She looked at Rosen and said, "Legendary Mage, use our power to defeat it!"

After saying this, she turned to look at Seglin again.

"Everyone will die one day. What matters is why we die!"

Seglin's eyes widened, and the distortion on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by the most thorough determination.

"Aleena!"

"I remember every word of the saint clearly."

"The saint kept his word, and you kept your oath of protection."

"Now, it's my turn!"

Suddenly, tiny purple lightning flashed on his body, and the black flames covering his eyes instantly dissipated, to be replaced by the flames of a burning soul.

He looked up at the sky and roared loudly.

"Devil, taste my Seglin's backstab!"

The moment he finished speaking, the body of the guardian mage turned into a pile of ashes, while his soul condensed into an extremely explosive force. Following the guidance of the thread of faith, it broke through the restrictions of the magic ring and poured into the soul of the Lord of Shadows.

This is not a mild belief, this is an explosive belief in revenge.

Once this power enters the soul of the Lord of Shadows, it is no less than a mortal drinking a can of red molten iron.

The Shadow Lord is not a mortal, so of course he would not die from a can of molten iron, but he also felt extremely painful.

Rosen saw it clearly.

He saw the starry shadow in the void tremble violently, and its movements were greatly affected, as if it had a seizure.

At this moment, Rosen calmed down completely.

In the morning, with the help of Alena's knowledge, he completed a stronger legendary focus and achieved legendary +4.1.

In other words, his attack can reach legendary level 6.1.

At this moment, the guardian warriors led by Alena burned their souls and transformed them into enormous power, the scale of which even exceeded the total mana of 1000 Rosens.

This power is too great to be controlled by mortals, not even Rosen.

But "Heart of God of War", which has been trained to the highest level and allocated almost all computing power, can barely make it.

'The target's actions are greatly restricted. Our strength is as high as 1200 Rosens. The chance of winning is unknown.'

Rosen directly interrupted Lai Fu's calculations.

"Don't give up, help me with my full-strength attack!"

At this moment, there are heroes burning their souls to forge swords for him, and there are also heroes burning their souls to bind demons for him. If he doesn't pierce the demon's body with this sword, it will be the biggest regret in his life.

The Crystal Torrent Staff was raised high, and the tip of the staff released a dazzling light like the sun, turning the entire wasteland into daylight.

Then, under the auxiliary control of "Heart of the God of War", using the Crystal Torrent Staff as a buffer, he removed most of the impact of the violent force, and finally successfully condensed 1200 tubes of mana into an extremely violent Soul Oath Sword, which violently stabbed at the Shadow Lord in the void.

Using the soul as a sword, protecting all living beings as a vow, and eliminating all evil spirits, this is the Soul Oath Sword of the Nahuat Republic!

The Shadow Lord is indeed powerful.

Even at this time, he still condensed a giant soul blade, but did not intercept Rosen's sword, but slashed at Rosen who was holding the sword.

"Heart of the God of War" immediately fine-tuned the forward route of the Oath Sword.

"Bang~~"

Relying solely on the aftermath, the Sword of Oath forcibly swept away the Soul Blade and then continued forward.

The Lord of Shadows condensed a giant soul shield composed of infinite starry night shadows in front of him, blocking the way of the Soul Oath Sword.

The next moment, the giant sword pierced the giant shield.

In the void, the two forces clashed fiercely again, causing even more violent shocks to the magic ring.

A very obvious golden light pattern suddenly exploded in the sky above the lakeside wasteland and spread in all directions. It spread for more than ten kilometers before completely fading.

'puff!'

The Soul Oath Sword consumed up to 70% of its power, successfully penetrating the Soul Shield, piercing deeply into the body of the Shadow Lord, and then exploded violently inside his body.

In the void, the huge starry night shadow began to shake violently and uncontrollably.

A discontinuous thought came out from the shadows.

"Duke Weilan, this is not your strength. It is not you who defeated me!"

Rosen responded frankly.

"It's indeed not me. My strength is far from enough to defeat you."

"The one who truly defeated you was the mortal hero of the Nahuat Republic."

"I'm unwilling~I shouldn't die like this!"

"I am God! I should be eternal!"

“Ah~~~~~”

"Crash~~~"

The huge shadow exploded from the inside out, turning into soul fragments that filled the void.

Some of the fragments came to Rosen.

Rosen's heart moved, and he quietly picked them up, selected the smallest piece of debris, and sucked it into the combustion chamber of the Soul Burning Secret Technique, causing it to burn violently.

As the burning continued, the soul fragments began to disintegrate, emitting all kinds of information, which was naturally recorded by Lai Fu into the database.

Rosen was suddenly both happy and annoyed.

'What a shame! I should have done the same thing last time!'

He immediately threw the other fragments into the combustion chamber.

This is what he did in the void, it was very secretive and no one knew about it.

In the mortal world, he looked at the soldiers of the Blood Soul Legion with eyes filled with joy and sadness.

Under the expectant gazes of the soldiers, he said loudly: "This so-called Lord of Shadows, the so-called God, is dead!"

"Crash~~~"

The Blood Soul Legion suddenly cheered violently, cheering with tears in their eyes.

The evil god's followers, led by the fallen wizard Dato, all knelt on the ground powerlessly, as if their souls had been sucked out.

Rosen took a step forward and came to Alena's body.

Aliena fell to the ground, her soul still burning.

She wasn't dead yet, but time was running out.

Rosen knelt down beside her, lifted her upper body with one hand, let her lean on his arms, and whispered to her through the soul connection.

"Mage Alena, even though we have only known each other for half a day, your name and appearance have been forever engraved on my soul."

“I admire you!”

Aliena showed a relieved smile on her face and raised her hand to touch Rosen's face.

"I heard that you are a duke in Drittan. With your protection, the people in your territory should be very happy, right?"

Rosen shook his head: "I don't know, but I'll try my best."

The sorceress's soul began to disintegrate. She finally said, "After the soul burns, a soul crystal will be left behind. Help me bring this crystal to Naidlin and keep it as close to the saint as possible."

After saying this, her body disintegrated into powder because it could not withstand the huge force, and a glittering soul crystal was left on her head.

Rosen picked it up and carefully put it in his chest pocket for safekeeping.

There is no doubt that this is a flawless hero crystal.

He came to Seglin's relics again and found a soul crystal. He picked it up and kept it carefully.

This is a 'Hero Redemption Crystal'.

As for Dato next to him, if he burned his soul, what would be left behind should be considered the 'Fallen Hero Crystal'.

No, that's not right, he doesn't deserve the title of 'hero', he should be called 'Fallen Crystal'.

He turned and walked towards the Blood Soul Legion, standing in front of the legion's highest commander: "General, I have to go to Naidlin."

The general nodded: "I'll arrange it."

Then, he looked at Rosen with reverence: "Master Rosen, you are the most dazzling hero tonight. Nawat will always remember your name!"

Rosen shook his head and looked at the Blood Soul Warriors who were silently collecting the soul crystals of their comrades.

"No, I am not a hero. I am just a traveler who controls the Hero's Sword. This is the greatest honor of my life."
