Volume 2: Funeral Song of Crows Chapter 59: Dusk
The very existence of the Void King can stir up changes in the Moon Realm.
At this time, different visions appeared in the four directions that Black Crow was looking at.
Spider silk spun in the air, countless rotten fish carcasses floating on the sea surface, filthy floating objects as sticky as oil, pale arms struggling in the water...
As the vision continued to spread, the four huge shadows slowly approached and surrounded William in the center of the sea.
In addition, above his head there was a dark cloud made up of millions of black crows rolling. Their snow-white sharp claws and beaks formed a storm that touched the sea and the sky, and white-hot lightning was brewing in it.
The cries of the black crows merged into the voice of Coles:
"Mr. Judge, no matter what, it's too late now. Facing four Void Kings at the same time in the Moon Realm, you have no chance of winning."
In response, William nodded.
Not to mention facing four at the same time, there is no chance of winning even against one.
Seeing William nod, Coles continued:
"So let's skip those boring steps. I need the seed of hope in your hand now..."
But William interrupted it and said, "I said from the beginning that the only thing I'm interested in doing this time is to kill you."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed his magic medium at the dark cloud of black crows.
"And if I just wanted to kill you, there would be no need to fight against the four of them."
At this moment, the vision represented by the four Void Kings was about to spread to William's vicinity, but he still had no intention of looking around. He ignored the threat of the four Void Kings and said to Coles Jackdaw, who was once the last seat of the Judgment Seat:
"And your twilight is now."
As soon as he finished speaking, even though no spells were used, an ancient orange-yellow light suddenly burst out from the sky where the crystal magic medium in William's hand was pointing.
This was the first light to appear in the sky that had been shrouded in darkness forever.
It was a lonely landscape. The afterglow of fiery red and dark gold instantly dyed half of the sky. Under this sky, the remains of countless civilizations were crumpled into a ball floating in the sky, silently telling their past stories.
Although the light of dusk looks so decayed and broken, it is still the last light that people can grasp before they completely step into darkness.
If you could pull up a wider perspective to observe what is happening in the entire Black Crow Watch, then you would be able to see a dusk suddenly erupting from the center of the entire Black Crow Watch, forming a hemispherical shield covering half of the area of Black Crow Watch, blocking out all the corruption, filth, paleness and spider silk spreading around.
Four angry voices rang out at the same time, stirring up the sea water and causing it to surge and boil. They wielded their unparalleled strength to slap the shield made of dusk.
William ignored the voice outside, looked at Coles quietly and asked:
"Do you remember where this place is?"
At the moment of dusk, the crows that had been screaming non-stop lost their voices at the same time. In the eyes of these black crows, the dusk, which was not dazzling, seemed like the scorching sun at noon, which was even more unbearable to look at directly. They all raised their wings to cover their eyes.
But the next moment, their wings, which were used to block the light, ignited with sparks, and then ignited into a raging fire. Countless burning black crows fell straight down from the sky, like dead flies.
In desperation, the crows gathered together again and turned into human form.
At this moment, Coles felt as if there was a heavy pressure on his shoulders, causing his legs to tremble slightly.
"The end of the world... Dusk Fortress..."
The tone of its voice made it unclear whether it was answering William's question or talking to itself.
Behind William is a dilapidated fortress that has fallen into disrepair. The artistic reliefs on the fortress that originally symbolized honor and merit have long been weathered into invisibility over a long period of time, but the fortress itself is still standing.
The evening light slanted through the top of the fortress and shone onto William, making it impossible for Coles to see his expression.
"So you just teleported the Dusk Fortress... here?"
Coles said incredulously.
At this moment, Black Crow Watch was blocked by the four Void Kings, and was in a state where he could enter but not leave. At this time, the Chief Judge summoned the entire Dusk Fortress in, which was equivalent to throwing the entire foundation of the End Watcher and himself into this trap.
Without the Dusk Fortress, the End Watchers can be said to have completely abandoned their only mobile base in the Moon Realm.
"Why?"
Coles asked in confusion.
"You know why."
William said.
He wore an exquisite mechanical ring on each of his index fingers, one red and one blue. They were both shaped like a ferocious wolf with an open mouth that could fit the entire finger.
After William finished saying this, sharp blades popped out from the two rings and pierced into his fingers, and a piercing pain spread to his mind.
[Red Wolf's Ring] and [Blue Wolf's Ring] devour half of their current health and mana respectively, converting them into huge physical damage bonus and spell damage bonus.
Although there was no health bar displayed, after taking Coles's "big cover" just now, William could clearly feel that he was probably less than half health. He relied on the effect of the Blue Shining Ring to avoid entering the "paralyzed" state.
Under the effect of the Ring of Wolf's Words, his current vitality has been reduced to less than a quarter, which in turn triggered the passive effect of the [Robe of Original Sin] on him - when the wearer's health is below a quarter, the fire of sin will automatically ignite to curse the wearer, and all damage he causes will carry a triple curse effect.
The weaker the vitality, the stronger the curse.
The rusty chains wrapped around the tattered robe suddenly began to rustle by themselves. They gradually tightened William's body like a python. Blood-red runes gradually lit up on the chains, and then blood-red flames ignited from the chains and began to burn William's body.
As the flame burned, the [Crown of the Original Vampire] on William's head was also activated.
The bat relief on the helmet suddenly came alive, and the flames burning on the chain were sucked into its open mouth. At the same time, several spikes stretched out from the helmet and pierced into William's neck, slowly absorbing William's blood.
[Crown of the Original Vampire], when the wearer is in a cursed state, the curse will be absorbed to enhance the wearer's spell strength, but in the process the crown will also absorb part of the wearer's health as a cost.
William felt his vitality begin to drain from his body. These two pieces of equipment were like engines that were constantly being supercharged, using his vitality as fuel to circulate curses and magic.
It's like a cylinder that's about to go out of control.
I was the first to discover that these two pieces of equipment can be cycled. When the left foot stepped on the right foot to fly into the sky, someone directly stacked the damage numbers to the point where the game console blue screened. Later, the manufacturer released an emergency patch overnight to fix it, so that this cycle would reach the limit after 20 times.
Just when William felt that his vitality was about to be drained, a warm current flowed out from the armor on his hands.
Gauntlet [Life Oath], the wearer can store vitality in it at ordinary times. When the wearer suffers fatal damage, the gauntlet will slowly release the vitality stored in it. As long as the enemy's damage does not exceed the speed of the gauntlet's recovery, the wearer will always be perfectly protected by life .
Because its vitality recovery speed is really disappointing and it can basically only deal with some dot damage, it is actually a very useless equipment.
But later, due to the linkage between the two equipment [Robe of Original Sin] and [Crown of the Original Vampire], [Oath of Life] was developed as a component.
Because the speed of [Life Oath] to restore life is slightly faster than the speed of blood loss when the other two equipment are linked. In other words, during the period when [Life Oath] is in effect, the wearer can always maintain his maximum output state.
When the [Life Oath] is fully reserved, it can only be effective for about five minutes. In other words, without considering the damage from the opponent, the wearer can maintain this state for a maximum of five minutes.
"Bang! Crack, crack, crack..."
Four huge forces continuously struck the surrounding dusk barrier, and dangerous cracks appeared in the dusk.
Coles looked at the ever-widening crack and said:
"It's meaningless, Judge. The protection of the End Scene alone can't even last three minutes, and three minutes..."
"Enough to kill you."
