foreigner's journey

Chapter 604 Eclipse
Gus was riding on the horse, looking at the overturned carriage in the distance and Griffith sitting slumped in the water in the distance, feeling remorse in his heart.

Is it me?Am I the one who drove you into a desperate situation, the one who made you look like this?

"Look! What is that?" Casca suddenly exclaimed and pointed to the sky.

The surrounding scenery darkened, Gus raised his head, and was shocked to find that the sunset that was about to set was gradually swallowed by some unknown and terrifying thing.

"The sun is about to die... When the sun dies for the fifth time... Is it a phenomenon recorded in the Apocalypse?" Rickett's voice was terrified.

sun?die?Don't care what I do!Gus roared in his heart, getting closer and closer to Griffith.

The sun was about to be completely swallowed up, and many strange figures appeared at some time on the water pond where Griffith was located and on the nearby cliffs.These 'humans' have weird appearances and deformed bodies, and they have all kinds of 'beast nature', except that they do not have 'human nature'.

They just stood there quietly, watching the Eagle Group and Gus rushing towards them in the distance, without exception, slowly showing evil smiles.

Gus took the lead and rushed to the vicinity of the water pool. The closer he got to the group of strange people in the water pool, the more the horses struggled.Gus turned over and jumped off the horse directly, letting the horse run away in a panic to the distance, and he mobilized all his strength to run towards Griffith.

【do not come……】

Griffith looked at Gus in panic, trying to get up and run away.Behind him, the water pool became boundless, and countless strange people stood and waited quietly, while the sun above their heads had been completely swallowed up.

【Don't come here...】

Thick mist rose from the surface of the water, and some monsters could not wait to growl from the depths of their throats, and saliva dripped from the corners of their mouths.

【If you catch me now, I won't be able to...】

Blood trickled down the arm, into the palm of the hand, and stained the surface of the bright red behelette.

【Can't take you again...】

Just when Gus stretched out his hand and grabbed Griffith's shoulder, the dislocated facial features on the bright red behelette in Griffith's hand reset in a violent trembling.It turned into a ferocious roaring face dripping with blood and tears.

As it let out a silent, sharp roar, everything around it changed.

It was cold and dead silent, and the ground beneath his feet turned into countless human faces with their eyes closed.When a horse's hoof tramples on a person's face, it will make a painful cry, and the members of the Eagle Group are startled to fall off their horses.Looking at the past, countless small faces formed huge hills of human faces, one after another, with no end in sight.

The lake disappeared, so did the monsters, and even the fiery red sky turned into dead darkness.

The only thing that remains unchanged is the devoured sun hanging above the head. At this time, its edge is emitting a strange dark light, which seems to be mocking the upcoming tragic fate of the sacrifices below.

"What's going on? Aren't we riding horses on the grassland?"

"What the hell is this place?"

"Captain! Captain!"

The wailing around became more and more intense, Casca held back the inexplicable panic in her heart, and commanded loudly:
"Don't panic! Don't think about things you don't understand, and do what you can do! Form a circular defensive formation, and if you are attacked by the enemy now, you will be wiped out!"

Not far away, Gus supported Griffith beside him, and was surprised to find that the bright red behelette turned into a strange roar, and Griffith also began to shed blood and tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Griffith, are you alright?" Gus was about to check on Griffith's injuries when he suddenly looked to the side vigilantly.

Those weird figures from before reappeared on the hills with human faces in the distance, more and more, occupying all the surrounding hills, faintly enveloping everyone in the Eagle Group.

【The time has come...】

【The time has come...】

【The time has come...】

These weirdos murmured words that Gus couldn't understand in unison, and disgusting smiles full of desire filled their faces——

[The time for the great night festival has finally arrived...]

【The moment of the carnival every six years in 210!eclipse! 】

【coming!coming! 】

【It's finally coming, our king of supernatural beings! 】

[The four guardian angels have arrived! ! 】

Following the wild shouts of excitement from the weirdos, the faces of the hills trembled violently, and an unusually huge, naked and beautiful woman sat up from the hills, her long hair wriggling like a snake's neck, and a growth appeared behind her. Two pairs of bat wings.

Those strange people fell from her body one after another, ecstatically cheering her name——

【Ahhh!Lord Sri Lanka! 】

Before everyone in the Eagle Group came back to their senses, bursts of evil laughter suddenly came from above their heads.I saw a vortex suddenly appeared in the black cloud above the head, and the center of the vortex was constantly agitating, and finally an extremely huge face was born.He protruded downward, and when he was about to hit the members of the Eagle Group, he suddenly exploded and turned into a small, strange shape less than one meter in size.The jet-black round lenses are deeply embedded in the flesh and blood of the eye sockets. There is a false smile on the round and fat face, and the whole body is covered with flexible dark purple insect shells. It just flies freely and quickly in the air, leaving behind a series of weird laughter. .

【Oh, Master Ubike! ] The cheers of the weirdos grew stronger.

Immediately afterwards, one of the countless human faces under the feet suddenly protruded upwards. It was a face that looked like a baby but was extremely swollen. Both eyes and mouth were squeezed into gaps due to the excessive swelling of the face.Its figure kept crawling and popping up, with two similarly swollen hands clasped in front of it, its body and back looked like weird beetles.

The weirdos let out a sigh of terror and joy.

【Ah, it's Lord Conrad...】

In the end, the eroded black sun above the head began to flow down countless darkness, and these darkness dripped down like sticky sludge, converging into the shape of the body, and the black sun was at the head.

The black shadow moved forward slowly, condensing into a human form.What a daunting and terrifying image this is!The head with huge brain tissue exposed, no ears and no outer skin, the lower half of the face and the skin of the nose were pulled apart at five angles, exposing the nasal cavity, gums and jaws inside, and the eyes were stitched to death.The whole body is hidden in the huge bat wings, and the majesty of the posture is mixed with evil.

All the monsters raised their arms and let out the loudest cheers——

[Archangel, Lord Potter! ! 】

god?No, never gods, they are demons!Thinking of Rong Qishi's figure, Gus and others immediately judged that these four monsters were evil demons.

Silan, Ubik, Conrad, and Potter stood on the top of the tallest human face hill, overlooking everyone from high above.

At this time, Archangel Porter made a majestic and deep voice:

"The moment of great bliss has arrived. It is not easy to gather here. The god created by man, the lamb who cannot be a god, please enjoy this holy night sacrifice to the fullest."

The bat wings spread out, and the long and narrow fingers covered with bone armor pointed to Griffith, who was supported by Gus——

"Prince chosen by the law of cause and effect, O Eagle. You are the Chosen One, and you are here at this moment. You are the one appointed by the Hand of the Great God, our blood relative, the blessed king longed for by all. !"

Hearing Potter's words, Griffith's eyes widened slightly.

"Don't listen to these freaks talking nonsense, Griffith!" Gus felt Griffith's shaking, and hurriedly said loudly: "Haven't we already seen what God and his messengers look like? Don't be fooled Lied, these guys are demons and heretics, they are the enemies of God!"

Anyone who has seen the sacred and noble postures of Qishi and the twelve knights, and then looked at the four weird "hands of God" in front of them, would have such a judgment?
"Human beings who have mastered some kind of weird magic tricked the world into a frenzy of worship, so it's ridiculous to say that you are really blind and stupid Aries, hahaha!" Ubik laughed sharply.

magic?Are they saying that the beautiful angel and the great knight who recognized me are fakes?
Clang!Gus pulled out the dagger at the back of his waist, pointed at Archangel Porter, and shouted: "Stop talking nonsense! You demons heretics! I have seen the real angel, the greatest knight under the command of God, Not as evil as you. Also, Griffith doesn't even have a tail, he is a complete human being, not a compatriot of your circus clowns!"

The angry roar did not anger the God's Hand, but made Slan burst into a coquettish laugh: "It's really a beautiful friendship. After a while, you think you will definitely become the best sacrifice."

"Sacrifice?" Gus had a bad feeling.

"Yes, all of you are precious sacrifices that can make him a Demon King. When he gets the bright red Overlord's Egg, he has already obtained the qualification to become a Demon King."

Ubik danced in the air and gave an evil smile, pointing to Griffith's bloody and tearful Overlord's egg: "That is the Overlord's egg that allows our guardian angel to be reincarnated as the hand of God. The angel came , how can there be no precious offerings? Hehehehe!"

"Bastards, you want to turn Griffith into a monster like you, and you plan to sacrifice our lives..." Gus gritted his teeth.

"You're wrong about one thing."

Silan licked his lips and let out a charming laugh:
"It's not us, it's [he] who wants to sacrifice all of you as sacrifices."

It was Griffith she was looking at.

The weird people around let out bursts of laughter, which corresponded to the astonished expressions of everyone in the Eagle Group.Impossible, how could Griffith...

Archangel Porter's voice sounded: "All of these follow the flow of cause and effect. At this point, it is time to perform the [Ritual of Conquering Demons]."

Conrad, who had been silent all this time, opened his arms and made a deep and loud noise:

"Put the prince on the altar!"

With his roar, all the faces on the ground let out wailing roars, and the mountain and the ground shook violently.

boom--! !The giant pillar of Optimus, composed of countless human faces, soared into the sky, hundreds of meters high!The giant pillar flew into the sky with Gus and Griffith.Under the violent tremors, Gus fell down without standing still. Griffith subconsciously grabbed Gus, but the arm with the severed tendon could not bear Gus's weight.The skin of the joints was torn and blood gushed out, and Griffith could only watch helplessly as Gus fell to the ground further and further away.

Eventually, Griffith found himself sitting in the center of an enormous hand.This giant hand stretched towards the sky in a half-clasped lift, and the five fingers stood up respectively to stand the hands of four gods.

Little Thumb - Conrad.

Ring finger - Yubik.

Thumb - Sri Lanka.

Middle finger - Potter.

Only the index finger position is vacant.

"As fierce as you are, you actually feel that we, who are supernatural beings, are terrifying? Or..."

Potter looked down at Griffith, who was kneeling in the palm of his hand, with an inexplicable mockery in his tone:
"The horror is your future?"

Griffith looked dazed.No, how could I be afraid of my dreams...

Ubik flew to Griffith's side and whispered in his ear: "Your act of climbing to your dream is not wrong, but the road to your dream needs a cornerstone. It's just that you chose to fill it with the life of your partner." It’s just accumulating roads, nothing to be ashamed of.”

Before Griffith's eyes, the faces of his comrades who died because of his dreams since childhood appeared, and he couldn't help trembling slightly.

"Now, your way has come to an end. Everything is far away from you, and you only have the eagle wings that carried your dreams in the past, don't you?" Silan looked at the panicked eagle on the ground below. group.

Thinking of Heather's mocking face, thinking of Lancelot's indifference to him, thinking of the white castle in the distant dream, thinking of the endless torture suffered in the dark dungeon... What finally appeared before Griffith's eyes was Gusner. An unwavering face.

Archangel Porter, standing at the position of the middle finger, opened his long and narrow bat-winged arms and said loudly:

"Come on, pile up all that is left of you before us, and recite the mantra in your heart—【Dedicate yourself】."

The scarlet light condensed in front of Potter, not yet fully formed, as if waiting for something.

"If you are sincere, you can teach it to you, the black wings that help you soar from the top of the mountain to the sky."

Potter's voice kept echoing in Griffith's ears and in his heart, shaking his body and mind.

At this time, a big blood-stained hand suddenly grabbed the edge of the giant hand, accompanied by a shout: "Griffith!"

Gus didn't fall down and be smashed into a pulp, but managed to climb to the top of the giant hand with his bare hands.Panting, he looked at Griffith from a distance, pleading in his eyes: "Griffith, don't lose to them..."

Griffith smiled, and slowly turned to look at Gus.

Yes, among thousands of enemies and allies, only you... only you make me forget my dreams.

"Run away..."

[will give you and others]

The giant hand clenched its five fingers together, holding Griffith in the palm of its hand!

And the scarlet light in front of Potter was also fully formed, turning into a simple yet weird symbol.

"The threads bound according to the law of cause and effect are now connected!
The time of appointment has arrived in an instant! "

The scarlet symbol shined brightly, and countless threads of light flew downward, penetrating through the protection of armor and clothing at a speed that humans could not resist, and deeply imprinted on every member of the Eagle Group.

The brand mark is the signal. Those long-awaited monsters finally stopped suppressing themselves and changed their shapes one after another. Huge and ugly monsters that would only appear in the deepest nightmares appeared one after another, pounced on the branded monster below. Members of the Eagles.

Banquet!
At the same time, in the real world, the water pool where they were before has been covered by an extremely huge black tornado that penetrates the sky and the earth.The end of the tornado swallowed the position of the sun, and the entire area was darkened.

Quietly, twelve fully armed knights appeared around.Along with them came a girl with black hair reaching her waist.

Rong Qishi did not look at the tornado, but looked up at the sky, smiled and bowed:

"Welcome back, my master."

Above the sky, a meteor streaked down.
