wandering in the ashes of meman

Chapter 104 104 The Sword of Artorius

The most frightening thing about the abyss is the almost pervasive power of erosion. When submerged in the abyss, any creature, even ordinary weapons and armor, will also be greatly affected... This is by no means alarmist.

Just like now.

Holding the big sword in one hand, feeling the will from the wolf knight's big sword, Ashes swung the already somewhat blunt edge of the big sword and smashed it towards the defensive force field in front of him—relying on the huge centrifugal force.The big sword hit the comprehensive defensive force field solidly with a cool chill.Then, visible to the naked eye.A deep black trace was thus left on the defensive force field.That feeling is like a drop of black ink dripping into a pool of clear water... continuously spreading and eroding.Then change that defensive force field into the shape of an abyss.

The age of fire is the age of the soul, that is, the age of idealism.It is precisely because of this that in that era, all people possessed a strong will... Passionate or indifferent.This is also the reason why the giant wolf Schiff chose to abandon his sharp claws and choose to fight with a big sword in his mouth...

The original Artorius was different from the other four knights under the king. Ornstein, the dragon hunter, served the eldest son of the sun and commanded the Silver Knights since the war of chaos.Eagle-eyed Gefu's dragon-hunting arrow is the template for all knights. Even if his eyes are sealed with resin later, he can still feel the rhythm of everything by relying on the sound of the wind.And Ki Yalan, the King's Sharp Blade, did not know how many Gwen's internal enemies had been eradicated. Some were against Ge Wen, and similarly, some were bewitched by the ancient dragon or the abyss...

And Arterius, he is a ranger.Wandering since he was young, he meets the giant wolf Schiff who is still a child but understands human nature, and the white cat Aviana who also understands human nature, and walks with them.He has a high moral character and became a knight all the way from a pawn, and finally became a member of the Four Knights of the King relying on his character and people's praise.But it's a pity...he has no merit.

Except for Artorius, the other three knights were either involved in or the war that established the Age of Fire.For example, Kiaran, who also did not participate in the Dragon Hunting War, relied on assassinating political enemies to stabilize the political turmoil in the early days of the Age of Fire and maintain the rule, thus becoming one of the knights under the king.Although Artorius has a noble character, compared with other knights, his achievements are few.This also made him look a bit depressed...but he concealed it very well, he never showed his ugly side to anyone, because he didn't want to make others depressed just because of himself...except Ashes.Ashes doesn't understand people's hearts, but because of this, Ashes has become the best person to confide in.

The world should belong to darkness, and the essence of darkness is the abyss—later, the serpent of the abyss, the dark stalker Cass, came to Little Lund to tempt the four kings and his knights in order to make the abyss come down as soon as possible.And gave them the power to devour the souls of others, or human nature.After acquiring this ability, they became the old enemies of all intelligent creatures: ghosts.

The Four Kings of Little Longde... Those are the warriors who were bestowed with the King Soul by Gwen and participated in the Chaos War.But in fact, they are still eroded by the abyss.And what Cass has to do is to let the dark age, or the deep sea age come in advance.In the end, in order to completely end the soul suckers, the three sealers sank the entire Little Londo into the bottom of the water... You know, there are countless innocent civilians inside... From this, it can be seen that the abyss is in the age of fire. , What a disgusting existence.

Time turns and the sea changes.When the city of water was replaced by hills, Cass, the serpent of the abyss, descended again. He came to the oldest magic kingdom, Ulasiruqi, to lure the residents there to dig the so-called "treasure" buried deep in the ground.

However, in the end, the people of Ulasiru awakened the oldest and supreme monster that existed long before the Dragon Hunting War-Manus, the Lord of the Abyss.If he has never heard of such a name or identity, he has another identity.That is the first dwarf who got the soul of the king of darkness when the first fire was ignited.Afterwards, the abyss was like a huge mouth, devouring the entire Ulasiru from the bottom up.It is precisely because of this that Ge Wen noticed the horror of the abyss.

Then, Artorius was dispatched.

Take Sif, who is still a child, and go out together.Before leaving, he left the ring representing his identity as the Four Knights to Kiaran, the king's blade... Kiaran may be the most despised knight, because her blade faces Always the internal political enemy.It was also because of this discrimination that she had nowhere to confide in her heart—until Artorius appeared.

Then, Artorius walked towards Urazilu with a silver necklace that could resist the erosion of the abyss—numbers were useless against the abyss.Because the darkness itself is the abyss, and the abyss itself is the soul of the king of darkness.The Dark Lord Soul is one of the four wedges that established the world.Therefore, in the age of fire, as long as they are intelligent creatures, they cannot resist the erosive power of the dark king's soul.The number of people in front of the abyss is just a joke... The existence of the French Undead Team in later generations is to prevent everyone from studying the abyss and prevent the abyss from coming again.For this reason, at the expense of destroying the country...

But it is a pity that when Artorius rushed to the abyss, the abyss had eroded most of the residents into deformed and hateful monsters.Unbearable, Artorius finally left the necklace in the center of the town.Left in the hands of the only sane people left... And this is the source of the tragedy.

In order to be able to go deep into the abyss, he persuaded the abyss serpent Cass and signed a contract with him, gaining the ability to walk in the abyss.

But unfortunately, without the blessing of the silver necklace, Gao Jieru Artorius could not resist the far-reaching erosion after all.In order to buy time for his injured best friend Schiff, he even set up a large shield as an enchantment.After that, he once again began to fight against the abyss.But because he didn't have the protection of the wolf shield, he used his arm to resist Manus' attack... In the end, his left hand holding the big shield was completely disabled, and his spirit was dull and in a trance. Even the wolf riding sword in his hand was changed. Unbelievably dull... When he arrived at the arena, it was also the last time Ashes saw him... He was in a trance, and he couldn't even tell who Ashes was, he could only vaguely recognize him as a dwarf.

"Whoever you are, please stay away from here...soon, I, will be swallowed up...and "they" (the people of Ulasiru)...are being (eroded) by darkness...the spread of the abyss must be stopped Stop...uhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

In the end, with a roar.He was completely eroded by the abyss.After the battle, Ashes defeated his former best friend and the mentor who taught him wolf swordsmanship.At the last moment before he died, he regained his sanity and saw the man who defeated him.

"It turned out to be you...you have become stronger...Ash...I beg you, the spread of the abyss must be stopped...ah...Sif...you are here...cough...everyone..."

"Please forgive me……"

"I've failed you all... I've failed you all... I've done nothing... I've failed to accomplish anything..."

In the end, Ashes carried the mission of Artorius and defeated the abyss.Maybe it's to maintain the rule, or maybe it's for other things.In the end, Gwen left this achievement to Artorius.Then, in front of the tomb of Artorius, in exchange for the soul in the hands of Ashes, the King's Blade, Kiaran, chose to exchange it with his own weapon... she got what she had dreamed of, the soul of her beloved, Kiaran Wept bitterly.

Then he committed suicide and died in love, leaving only a bee ring representing the emblem of the bee.Just like when Artorius gave him the Wolf Ring...

The great sword of Artorius was also handed down after the death of the giant wolf Schiff.Wielded by different people at different times.But there is no exception, each one is a legendary swordsman... It seems that this great sword is also choosing its master.

And the great sword of the wolf knight in Ashes' hands is the same sword that Artorius once held... Feeling the intimacy from the sword, for some reason, it seems that Artorius, a cheerful fellow, appeared in front of Ashes' eyes. handsome face...

Looking at the defensive force field in front of him that has been soaked and polluted into black, Ashes also turned the manual blade into a sharp side——the blade that cut Manus, the Lord of Darkness, was contaminated Because of its blood stains, it is blunt.It represents the abyss, representing the pervasive erosion.And that sharp side represents the noble will of Artorius—and the sharpness that can cut through the abyss!
When the sharp blade touched the defense stand that had already been infested with black ink, in an instant, endless black arcs flickered.This is also one of the secrets of the wolf knight's great sword... While it can endow the opponent with the erosion of the abyss, it also has extremely high destructive power against the abyss, or——'special attack'!
Then, under the incredible eyes of the Asgardian Legion, the defensive force field that was strong enough to withstand the bombardment of the Star Destroyer burst into a huge gap, and because of being eroded by the abyss, the laws of the world also changed. .In other words, this gap——cannot be repaired!
In other words, in Asgard now, the only way left is to fight head-on!
Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Frigga also clenched the sharp blade that was both a long sword and a staff, held it up high, and shouted loudly:
"For the glory of Asgard!!!"

Seeing the excited Asgardian army, Ashes just wiped the blade calmly.

"Kill them all."
