Chapter 492 Midir Swallows the Darkness
After leaving the room with the statue, Xia Yu went through a phantom wall to a hidden passage, and then followed the stairs to a built-in church.
A sword was placed on the table in the church, and a shriveled corpse was kneeling in front of it.
It is not difficult to tell from the corpse's attire that this is an envoy from the ancient magic kingdom, but for some reason, he died here alone.
Behind the table, there was a large hole that led directly to the ground, and the hole was filled with a dark atmosphere that was almost visible to the naked eye.
Occasionally, one could hear the painful roar of a dragon coming from the cave. That was the roar of Midir, the descendant of the ancient dragon.
“It’s a familiar route indeed.”
Xia Yu curled his lips, strode forward and jumped directly into the cave. He could reach this path with his eyes closed in the game. It was so familiar.
After jumping down into the cave that led directly to the underground, the stone wall in front of Xia Yu slid past rapidly, and not long after, he fell to the bottom of the cave.
What meets the eye is a giant dark blue and black cave. The cold groundwater forms puddles. Although it looks clear, it merges into the thick abyss.
In the clear puddles, there are piles of bones. Although it is impossible to tell what race they are, one can see the despair of these bones.
The skeleton arms were raised high, as if trying to grab a life-saving straw.
However, they caught nothing and only this desperate scene remained.
Xia Yu felt with great interest the darkness of the abyss that permeated this place. The abyss here was not weaker than the abyss of the Casas underground cemetery, and the darkness it contained even far exceeded that of Casas.
Fortunately, his current strength has far surpassed what it was before, otherwise, if he wanted to absorb the abyss here as a tonic, he would have to ask for help.
But what interested him most was the giant dragon at the end of the cave. It was a black dragon crawling on the ground with obsidian-like scales on its body. Its body was not strong and looked very slender.
It has ferocious dragon horns on its head, four legs and four wings, which are typical features of an immortal ancient dragon.
In addition to the immortal dragon scales, the ancient dragon also has four legs and four wings that the flying dragon does not have. The flying dragon is the descendant of the ancient dragon, but failed to inherit the ancient dragon's power.
"Tsk tsk, I really feel sorry for the nameless king."
Looking at the black dragon Midir, Xia Yu suddenly thought of the nameless king on the top of the ancient dragon. The nameless king has no name, but from various clues, the identity of the nameless king is about to be revealed.
The Unknown King is Gwyn's eldest son, the eldest son of the Sun.
The Eldest Son of the Sun was supposed to inherit Gwyn's throne, but because of the War of the Ancient Dragons, the Eldest Son of the Sun and the ancient dragons sympathized with each other, and the two who were supposed to be enemies became good friends.
Upon learning the news, Gwyn, who regarded the ancient dragons as enemies, was furious. He immediately expelled his eldest son and destroyed all traces of his eldest son, even erasing his name.
Therefore, the eldest son of the sun became the unnamed king.
It would have been fine if Gwyn had been firm in his opinion and always hated dragons, but Gwyn not only slept with a white dragon, he also secretly raised the descendants of ancient dragons.
The white dragon Seath gave birth to offspring for Gwyn, and Midir, the descendant of the ancient dragons raised by Gwyn, helped Gwyn devour the darkness.
It is clear that only the officials are allowed to set fires, but the common people are not allowed to light lamps.
The key point is that the eldest son of the Sun is not a commoner, but Gwyn's eldest son. From this we can see that Gwyn is quite double-standard even when facing his own children.
After sighing for a few seconds, Xia Yu looked at Midir in the distance. The darkness in his eyes deepened, and a black shadow spread from under his feet, turning into a frenzy of the abyss that began to swallow him up.
The turbulent waves of the abyss black sea flooded the entire cave with the force of swallowing up a thousand miles, crushing and expanding in all directions.
Although the abyss controlled by Xia Yu is different from the abyss here, their essence is similar. Therefore, after just a simple contact, the abyss here was easily assimilated by Xia Yu.
"roar!!!"
The movement of the assimilated abyss naturally did not escape Midir's notice. Sensing that the situation had changed, Midir's roar with hidden anger suddenly rang out.
The black dragon covered in dark crystals supported itself and climbed up, staring directly at the figure shrouded in black mist.
boom--!
Midir suddenly opened his mouth, and the burning dragon breath instantly turned into a sea of fire, but facing the dark waves that covered the sky, that little flame seemed so small.
At the moment when the flames collided with the darkness, there seemed to be a faint puffing sound, and then the dragon's breath was easily extinguished like an ordinary flame.
Seeing that the fire dragon breath was useless, Midir didn't know if he had lost his mind. He suddenly absorbed the power of the abyss on the spot, and then opened his mouth wide.
boom--!
A black and white light suddenly burst out from Midil's mouth, and the next moment, a dazzling laser dragon breath sprayed towards Xia Yu.
Looking at the laser dragon breath, Xia Yu did not dodge or evade. Using the power of the abyss to deal with him was underestimating him.
Boom boom boom!!
Wherever the laser dragon breath swept through, violent explosions sounded one after another, and black and white smoke filled half of the cave.
But the remaining half of the cave covered by darkness was intact. With Xia Yu's wholehearted assimilation, most of the abyss here had been absorbed by him.
"roar!!!"
Seeing that his two strongest attacks were unable to harm the newcomer, Midir raised his head and roared.
"What are you yelling about!"
Xia Yu suddenly stepped forward, instantly jumped over the distance between him and Midir, and rushed to the opponent's dragon head.
Then he twisted his waist, poured all his strength into his legs, and after accumulating enough strength, he kicked out hard.
In an instant, the space in front was distorted and deformed, and a loud explosion was heard above Midir's head. The huge Midir flew backwards and hit the edge of the cave hard.
After knocking Midir away with one blow, Xia Yu appeared above Midir with a giant thunder spear in his hand, and then stabbed him down fiercely with the giant thunder spear in his hand.
Crackling!!
The exploding golden thunder rushed out, the ancient dragon was weak in thunder, even Midir, who was eroded by the abyss, could not ignore this weakness.
In the game, Midir's other resistances are very high, except for its weakness to lightning, which just corresponds to the weakness of them as ancient dragons.
Under the double blow of strength and thunder, Midir suffered severe damage, and even his head drooped to the ground. Xia Yu raised his hand again, and countless black hands emerged from Midir's side, tying the dragon tightly in place.
After controlling Midir, Xia Yu placed his hand on the dragon's head and silently sensed the other party's condition.
"Hiss, you are still alive even after this, you are indeed a descendant of the ancient dragon."
The abyss within Midir's body has penetrated deep into his bones. As the dragon devours the darkness day after day, even his soul has turned pitch black.
Even if he absorbed all the darkness in Midir's body and the abyss in his soul, it would be difficult for this descendant of the ancient dragon to survive.
After all, the abyss here has almost merged with Midir. Forcibly depriving Midir of the abyss in his body will only lead to his death.
Even immortal ancient dragons will die, let alone the descendants of ancient dragons.
After finding out the situation inside Midir's body, Xia Yu dragged him into his own abyss. Midir could only coexist with the abyss at this point. Forcibly helping him to escape from the abyss would be counterproductive.
Although he had no intention of helping the other party escape from the abyss, Midir who was controlled by the abyss was a good descendant of the ancient dragon, and the conscious Midir was just a tool dragon loyal to God.
It was clearly stated in Midr's introduction text that even if the gods had long since disappeared, Midr still fulfilled his mission.
Xia Yu couldn't think of any other way to change the loyalty of a dragon so loyal to God in a short period of time except to use the abyss to corrode his mind.
It was unknown how long it had been, but after everything here had become his own power, Xia Yu left the deep pit where Midir was entrenched and returned to the upper level of the Ringed City.
Xia Yu came out without stopping. After looting everything nearby, he continued to move towards his goal.
On the way, he encountered the Church Spear and the Giant Judge who blocked his way. Xia Yu was too lazy to talk nonsense and just served them all with the Abyss.
I have to say, the abyss is really useful.
Of course, the prerequisite is to be able to control the abyss, rather than being eroded by it.
Afterwards, Xia Yu took the elevator all the way up. When he got out of the elevator, a tall spire appeared at the end of the stairs. Looking at the spire in front of him, Xia Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally he arrived, his final destination in Ringyin City.
Whether in the game or here, the spire in front of him is the final destination.
King Gwyn's youngest daughter, Felienor, sleeps inside.
With some excitement, Xia Yu quickly came to the dormitory door, then reached out and pushed it open.
“Wow!”
After all, the scenes in the game are not as shocking as the reality. Even though Xia Yu has seen Felianor several times in the game, when he really saw this goddess named Felianor in reality, he still couldn't help but marvel at her appearance.
The word "goddess" is fully demonstrated in Felianor. Even Xia Yu, who has traveled all over the Soul Three World, has to admit that Felianor is the most beautiful goddess he has met so far.
The pure white princess dress was spotless, her long silver-gray hair hung down behind her head, and even the black veins under her eyes due to erosion could not ruin Felianor 's soft and delicate face.
It's a bit of a pity that because Felianor is a god, even though she has a well-proportioned figure, one can even say she is slender, but if you look closely, you can tell that Felianor is over three meters tall.
Well...it seems that a large car is not a problem.
While thinking, Xia Yu approached the still sleeping Felianor, but he did not touch her.
But he knew the consequences of being naughty. It was because the undead often acted naughty that he encountered so many problems.
At this time, Felianor was holding a broken giant round egg with a dark hole inside. It seemed to be a seal, but Xia Yu didn't know what kind of seal it was.
In the game, because Ashes touched the giant egg out of carelessness, the giant egg shattered into pieces, and then the spell sealed in the egg poured out, causing the Ringed City to turn directly into a barren desert.
And Felianor, who was the core of the seal, turned into dry bones in an instant.
Although there is no clear text explanation in the game, Xia Yu guessed that the time of the Ringed City was sealed in the egg. Felianor fell into a deep sleep at the cost of using his own power to keep the time of the Ringed City constant.
As long as the time is fixed at this moment, the end of the world after the fire is extinguished will not affect the Ring Seal City.
However, this immortality is quite fragile. If it is slightly affected by external forces, the seal will be broken and the sealed time will be released.
Then the Ringed City and Felienor will wither away under the power of time.
But this is just a guess after all. It is also possible that at the moment the eggshell shattered, Felianor seamlessly teleported the ashes to the end of the future, which caused the illusion of the passage of time.
Anyway, there are a thousand Hamlets among a thousand readers, and Xia Yu didn't intend to delve into this issue.
"Sure enough, he's still alive at this time."
After observing Felianol's condition closely, Xia Yu came to this conclusion.
At this point in the game, if you look closely you can see that Felianol's chest is still rising and falling with his breathing, indicating that Felianol is really just sleeping.
And from his observation just now, Felianol's soul was still there and had not dissipated.
In that case...
Xia Yu suddenly approached the sleeping goddess, stretched out his hand and gently patted her soft face: "Wake up, your father is dead."
"It was such a tragic death that not even ashes were left. Not only that, your brother is also dead, your sister is also dead, your whole family is gone!"
Felianol: z zz...
Xia Yu: “…”
It seems that this method of provoking the opponent is useless, as the other party cannot hear any sound.
Thinking of this, Xia Yu shifted his gaze and silently looked at the broken egg...
No, no, if he is too late and fails to capture the other person's soul, then he will have wasted his opportunity.
Forget it, let's just do it. It's not the first time he has done this anyway.
Looking at Felianor's peaceful face, Xia Yu silently slapped her with his palm, then mobilized his soul power and pulled out a ball of golden soul with a sudden force.
Because it has not been corroded and is still a god, Felianol's soul is also dazzling gold.
Having lost her soul, Felianor, whose chest was still rising and falling, suddenly lost her breath, and the egg she was holding in her arms began to collapse from the broken pieces.
In the blink of an eye, the egg shattered into pieces right in front of Xia Yu's eyes. The next moment, a dazzling white light burst out from the fragments, dazzling Xia Yu so much that he couldn't help but take a few steps back.
When the light fades away, everything in front of you is no longer the same as before.
The goddess who was originally sitting on the bed has turned into a dried corpse, and the bedroom, which was previously gorgeous, has also become withered and yellow.
The only person who hadn't changed in this room seemed to be Xia Yu, who had turned into ash.
Watching the scene in front of him change like a chess game, Xia Yu sighed quietly, sensed the soul in his body, and confirmed that Felianor's soul was safe and sound, then left the dormitory.
Although there is no trace of the existence of the goddess Felianor in Soul One, Soul Two, or Soul Three, the significance of Felianor's appearance seems to be just to make the Ringed City in the DLC disappear reasonably.
But Xia Yu actually likes this goddess very much. There is no special reason, just because Felianor is beautiful.
So he preserved the other person's soul. If he had time, he could resurrect the other person. It wouldn't be difficult anyway.
As Xia Yu's thoughts wandered, he looked around. The once magnificent Huanyin City was now reduced to ruins.
To say that there are only broken walls and ruins is an exaggeration, because both the mountains and the buildings that I have walked past have been buried by the vast sandstorm.
Now, there is only a lifeless desert outside.
