Chapter 211 Consciousness
Roland frowned and looked at the footprints at the door, his expression gradually became serious.

Someone was here just now.

The number is one, about male, about 1.7 meters tall.

...Is it An Ruosi?
Such an ominous premonition suddenly appeared in Roland's heart.

Although he knew that there were not many men with this height, and there were a lot of them in Karar - but for some reason, when Roland saw the footprints, he thought of An Ruosi.

No... he shouldn't appear here.

How can there be such a coincidence.It stands to reason that someone should be the first to discover this place after the White Tower collapsed...

Roland took a deep breath, and suppressed the discomfort of things gradually getting out of control.

Afterwards, he stepped into the sealed place of Elcardo in one step.

At that moment, Roland felt numbness in his back, and the sense of crisis was like a needle being nailed to his spine.

There is no doubt that this situation is absolutely abnormal.

Roland still remembered that in the promotional CG of the expansion piece, the black-haired girl was bound in mid-air by countless golden chains emerging from the void like a god being executed.

Fingers, wrists, forearms, shoulders... every part of the body is tightly bound by strong golden chains.Not to mention letting go of his aura, he was even unconscious, as if he had fallen into a deep coma.

It was the Chain of Oath Binding that Master Oak used to bind the Calamity Beast Del Ramos—the only artifact left in the world by the Covenanter Ilpiretu.In addition to its indestructible characteristics, as long as it is entangled, the concept of being "bound" can be directly poured into the existence of the other party.

...Of course, the golden chain used to bind Elcardo is just a high-quality imitation made by Tell.The real one is still used in the Oak Mystle to bind Del Ramos.

But even if it is a high-quality imitation, this is enough to put Elucado into a coma.

If Elucard was in a seal, she would also emit this level of pressure. Her existence would have been discovered long ago, and she would not have been discovered until ten years after the White Tower collapsed.

Could it be that there is something wrong with Elucado's seal?
Roland's face became unusually serious.

That's right, Elukado is the undead spirit of Elcat. Under the banner of silver, she fought against the gods who usurped the authority of the saint. Her deeds were enough for Roland to bow his head and respectfully call her a hero.

However, before she was overwhelmed by the silver queen's personality and fell into her arms and chose to become an undead, she was still a brain eater-a brutal underground race that feeds on the brains of intelligent creatures.

Because of the geographic location, the souls of the underground races are more polluted than the above-ground races who are closer to the wall of Aum in the sky.If the souls of the above-ground races are almost all blue and light blue, then the souls of the underground races are dirty and chaotic yellow.

Apart from demons, they are the closest natural race to the Twilight Familiars, and they are also the race most likely to be polluted by Twilight.

No one wants to trust these time bombs.And their particular mind-form doesn't see anything wrong with throwing themselves into the twilight.

They are the abandoned people of the Saint, humble beings who are not protected by the Wall of Orm.

They don't even have origins.If you dig deeper into your bloodline like the races on earth, you will only fall into dusk faster.

No one would accept them except the Silver Queen.Their very existence is a symbol of trouble.

For ordinary civilians, their existence is no different from demons.The devil knows more morals than them,

Especially now that the Silver Queen has passed away, Roland cannot guarantee whether Elucard will choose to revitalize the corrupted undead as he did "in history".

It is entirely possible for her to regain her identity as the Queen of the Brain Eater, lead the underground army to challenge the authority of the gods, and become an enemy of the whole world.

It's not impossible.On the contrary, if nothing else happened, she should have chosen this path.

You know, her enemies, the gods who forced the Silver Queen to death, are still standing in the sky.Let go of the enemy who is dangling in front of you, alive and nourishing, and turn around to farm...

Elcardo is not the kind of person who knows how to endure.

Roland couldn't imagine what would happen if Elcardo's seal was broken and she saw the world ruled by the gods.

The collapse of the White Tower, the third massacre of wizards, the plague sweeping the world, internal fighting among countries, and the invasion of underground races and demons...

The world of Farnes is already troubled.

Any unnecessary disaster could be the straw that breaks the camel's back.

——Elucard must be stopped.

Such thoughts gradually became clear in Roland's mind.

Her immortality is complicated, and there is simply no power other than the Sleeping Mentor that can kill her.

As a voter of the Sleeping Mentor, Roland is probably the only person in this world who can stop her.

If Roland cannot defeat her here, the White Tower and its surroundings will most likely be demolished by her.The history of the world changes like this - it may lead to a better future, but more likely it will also destroy the last hope of redemption.

Feeling the increasingly intense coercion around him, Roland's footsteps became more and more hurried.

It seemed she had just woken up.Now is probably Roland's only chance to defeat and kill her.

what……

Roland showed a self-deprecating wry smile.

Unexpectedly, when I came out to find Est, I would encounter such a thing.

Unexpectedly, one day it would be him who came to save the world——

"This turn of events is too rough."

Roland complained unconsciously, raised the cane with his right hand, and slowly spit out the sharp blade of the cane.

Fortunately, I went back to the first tower and picked up the weapons...

Suddenly, Roland seemed to think of something, his pupils shrank instantly, and his footsteps couldn't help but stagnate.

... wait.

Although I originally wanted to come here...

But if Roland remembers correctly, it seems that Anvilia also let Roland come here?

"That is to say..."

Before Roland could sort out his thoughts—maybe he heard Roland's footsteps stop suddenly, the ground under Roland's feet suddenly trembled slightly as if he was offended.

Without any hesitation, Roland jumped back like a reflex.

Suddenly, cracks burst out of the wall in front of Roland.Boiling power spurted out of the cracks like a substantial tsunami.

Boomed by the invisible lightning strike, the ground where Roland was standing before suddenly collapsed with a huge roar and turned into pieces.

no doubt.Once this level of "temptation" falls on Roland, Roland will be disabled even if he does not die.

"what……"

Roland sneered, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

I was still thinking about it before, and I had a good talk with Elcardo, maybe it would be okay without a fight.

Now it seems that Roland is simply overthinking.

"No retreat."

Suddenly, the mentor's voice rang in Roland's ears.

"Ah, I know."

Roland chuckled and nodded.

Yes, Roland finally realized it.

Elcardo is an underground race.It's a brain eater.is the enemy of mankind.

It is an existence with dirty twilight blood flowing in its body.

He is also a guy who can make the world around him turbulent as long as he is alive.

The source of all troubles, the chief of all evils—

"...This kind of person, as long as I have one is enough."

"Heh... are you going to become a tyrant?"

"Destroy, if necessary."

Faced with the teasing of Mentor Changmian, Roland said calmly: "But this fragile world can only withstand the ravages of one person -"

As he spoke, silvery white flames burst forth in his eyes.

From the eye sockets, spread to the entire head.Then Roland's whole body was ignited with a blazing silver-white holy flame.

Four spiral ribbons of holy fire, like streamers and tentacles, emerged from behind Roland, coiled up like snakes, and watched vigilantly at the terrifying enemy in the depths.

Roland held up the stick sword, the blade rose from it, and the silvery white flame gradually climbed to it, crawling to a higher place.

Roland did not retreat.

Inexplicably, Roland remembered that night in Iron Curtain City.

He thought of those blue eyes full of worry, nervousness and motherly tolerance when he gave Claudia his bloody hand.

Roland looked surprisingly calm at the moment.

This is the first time since he came to this world that he has fought purely for others.

But unexpectedly, there is no sense of responsibility to shoulder the heavy burden, let alone the blood of a brave man who saves the world.

He just raised his head, staring at the depths of darkness calmly as if waiting for something.

"rest in peace."

Roland read softly.
