Volume 3: The Land of Mist Chapter 62: Moon Anchor
The fact that the Void Kings put aside their grudges and jointly dispatched their legions to encircle and suppress Black Crow must have involved a major event that would affect the entire Moon Realm. As everyone knows, whenever there is a major event that will cause drastic changes, that guy who likes to join in the fun and is always afraid that the world will not be in chaos will always take action to add some "variables" to the matter.
This can be considered as a reserved item of Yuejing.
Right now, the four legions' paths forward are blocked by "dementia", which is a manifestation of this - the four Moon Realm ties leading to Black Crow's Watch, under the influence of the Mad Fool's power, the extension progress has become extremely slow, and it can even be said to be close to stagnation.
After hearing the waiter's request, the expression on the Thousand Faces Dancer's face changed, but in the end it still spoke:
"I'm afraid not. If we don't transport the 'Moon Anchor' to Black Crow Watch, there's no way to stop the Moon Realm Disaster from escaping."
With the size of their four legions and the top combat power of seven demon generals, it is not too difficult to defeat the fledgling Moon Realm Disaster who has not yet rebuilt the End Watcher. However, if the goal is changed to killing him, it will be a basically impossible task.
As long as the other party decides to give up the Black Crow's Moon Realm and is determined to escape, no one present has the confidence that they can stop him.
It was said that in the previous battle at Black Crow Watch, even though the four Void Kings personally set up a blockade, he still managed to escape. And now that the Moon Realm was in turmoil and the various kings were ready to make a move, no one was willing to leave their own Moon Realm to personally participate in the battle at this time.
In order to seize this rare opportunity, the Blood King, Whispering Queen, Lady Hungry and Corrupted, and Sin of Red Desire, the four Void Kings who had the greatest need for the real world, even directly brought out their unfinished "Moon Anchors", striving to make the Moon Realm Disaster, who had repeatedly destroyed their plans, pay the price he deserved and end his fate here.
After hearing the Thousand Faces Dancer's answer, the expression on Dementia's face remained dull - this was not to say that it had no perception of the outside world, but in Dementia's cognition, the Thousand Faces Dancer's words that sounded like he wanted to negotiate were actually no different from the anger and murderous intent suppressed between breaths by the "Massacre" next to it who was holding a serrated axe.
These two beings... no, including them, the seven beings that are equally powerful as himself, no matter what attitude they show at the moment, essentially want to do the same thing.
That is to kill yourself and then pass through the place where you are blocking.
Thinking of this, Dementia turned over again and changed to a more comfortable lying position.
Anyway, I can't defeat so many people, so I might as well die in a comfortable way.
The world is inherently a chaotic system. Inferring results based on the limited information that individuals possess will often lead to results that are greatly deviated from reality due to the influence of chaos.
Whether it is the "mania" in the past or the "dementia" today, they are all choices people will make when they feel this chaotic system - the anxiety about losing control of the future, which is externalized into futile control behavior, is "mania"; and choosing to do nothing and quietly waiting for the fate to happen to oneself, the appearance of this attitude is "dementia".
Therefore, dementia is not stupid, on the contrary, you can even say that it has great wisdom and can see the essence of many things at a glance. But it also understands that those things are beyond its control, so it chooses to do nothing.
Dementia is often caused by being too alert.
When the waiter on the side saw that the "dementia" adult had new obvious movements, he immediately compared the details of his movements and began to think, guess, and speculate frantically in his mind, in order to imagine the profound meaning contained in the "dementia" adult's behavior.
Then the waiter answered them:
"Only this point Lord Dementia will not give in. The Moon Anchor cannot be activated until the appointed time. This is the contract signed by the kings in Graycastle. Whoever uses it to enter the real world first will have the upper hand in the future war against the real world. This cannot be changed in any way..."
The waiter guessed what the idiot meant and said
Then it died.
The one who took action was not the Thousand Faced Dancer who was trying to negotiate, nor was it the Slaughterer who was suppressing his anger.
But it was the demon general under Ms. Hungry and Corrupted, Erode.
No one at the scene noticed his actions until the waiter's flesh and blood began to dissolve and peel off from the bones that supported him like wax, and then turned into irredegradable residue. Only then did all the Moon Realm monsters present realize that it was he who did it.
Just when the other demon generals were somewhat surprised at why Shi Jin, who had always acted low-key and forbearing, would suddenly take action, the humanoid figure made of corrupt residue shook the bell at his waist and said:
"Don't hide. I can already smell the corruption on you."
The sound of the old-fashioned bell created ripples in the space, and a translucent human figure was outlined in the ripples.
Countless eyes were focused on the human-shaped silhouette.
"Ah... have we been discovered?"
A slightly hoarse voice came from the humanoid position.
Then, a human wearing twisted dragon bone armor and holding a magic medium made purely of frost gradually appeared there.
This is the edge of Black Crow Watch. Under the influence of the power of various high-level beings in the Moon Realm, the surrounding environment is constantly undergoing strange changes like a nightmare.
Sometimes it is a corrupt flesh-and-blood land covered with fungi, sometimes it becomes a cruel battlefield with blood flowing, sometimes the air is filled with sweet scents of ambiguous colors , and sometimes there are mist-like spider silk floating everywhere.
But only under William's feet was solid ground, an earth that could not be more real, and it looked as if it was still in the world.
This is the power of the Moon Realm, transformed into the form he is familiar with under the influence of William's will.
"What a shame. I was waiting for you to finish explaining what the 'Moon Anchor' is before you showed up again."
William said with a little regret, then he looked at the demon general "Erosion" with whom he had a brief battle on April Fool's Day and asked:
"How did you find me? This [Invisibility] illusion was able to deceive even the most perceptive 'Peeper' under the Forbidden Sage."
Shi Jin did not reply, but looked at William's shoulder, the wound that was cut by the "plague sickle" used by the Hungry Lady.
"I see. I did miscalculate this point."
William nodded thoughtfully.
As a demon general under Ms. Hungry and Corrupted, it is very reasonable that the other party can sense himself through that wound.
"So before we begin..."
William looked at the eight demon generals and spoke slowly.
There are several of them that I can consider as my old friends, including Carnage, Thousand-Faced Dancer, Eclipse, Madame Swelling, and the one who seems to be a different team from them, Dementia, and the former Mania. There are a few that I almost vomited from playing their dungeons in the early and middle stages of the game, and I can still memorize their combos until now.
There were also a few new faces that he had never seen before - they should be the ones filling the vacancies left by the demon generals that he had completely killed with the Judgment Armament in the past.
"Can you satisfy my curiosity and tell me what the so-called 'Moon Anchor' is? Why do you think you can kill me with that thing?"
William asked this question without expecting the other party to answer. Since it was a secret weapon, it had to be kept secret.
But Eclipse spoke.
"It's the key."
It replied.
"Key? What's the lock?"
William asked, frowning.
"There are twenty-four of these keys."
Eclipse's answer sounds a bit irrelevant.
Although the other person's face, which was made up of rotten residue , showed no expression at all, William felt that the other person was laughing sarcastically.
The number twenty-four made William instantly think of what locks these keys were meant to open.
Twenty-four star lighthouses spread across the continent of Vic!
"I see... In other words, this thing is required for true plane fusion, right? I understand."
William nodded slightly, then said:
"Okay, I'll figure out the rest myself."
"Are you sure?"
Shi Jin, who originally wanted to continue explaining something, asked a little puzzled.
What does it mean to be sure of yourself? Isn't your answer a kind of end-of-life care?
"What I mean is, after I exile all of you, I will bring the anchors of the past few months that you brought with you back to the human world and analyze them slowly."
William replied, pulling out an ordinary straight sword from a space crack.
Judgment II, the Judgment Armament created by the Blood King Brand himself.
Then William looked at "Slaughter" and said:
"As for you, you are unlucky. You are probably going to disappear completely."
