A certain sword soul's infinite journey

Immediately afterwards, Gandalf seemed to have noticed Lin Yi's gaze, and felt that it might be shameful for him to be inextricably fighting with a soldier who had been caught in an instant, so he smashed the opposite Ring Spirit away vigorously, and then slammed the staff Putting the pestle to the ground, he chanted solemnly.

"I am the servant of the holy fire, holding high the flame of Arnor..."

Gandalf chanted the holy incantation loudly, and the magic stone on the staff suddenly burst into dazzling light.

The white light is holy and dazzling, like the first ray of sunlight rising from the sky in the morning, just bathing it to a corner, it makes Lin Yi feel exhausted, and even his soul is as warm and comfortable as soaking in a hot spring.

But in the eyes of the ring spirits, this is not the case at all.

In his senses, this dazzling light is as powerful and violent as the scorching sun at noon, holy and majestic, as inviolable as the gods in the sky.

As soon as the light bloomed, the surrounding black mist and shadows were instantly dispelled.

The Ring Spirit on the opposite side covered his face with his hands, and retreated to the edge of the platform amidst howling, the black robe on his body was also shattered into bits and pieces in the strong light.

The light became stronger, the body of the Ring Spirit was completely destroyed, and the remaining black spirit body fled towards the distance in an instant.

If it was the past, Gandalf would definitely stop here, but now, after seeing the real damage Lin Yi caused to these invisible spirits, he was no longer satisfied with destroying the form of the ring spirits.

Gandalf put away the light on the staff, raised his head to the sky and screamed.

"Your Excellency Lin Yi, don't let him go!"

After the words were finished, Lin Yi hadn't moved yet. The little black cat who had been watching the show for a long time suddenly let out a low growl, and its body, which was originally only a little bigger than a palm, quickly swelled into a young black tiger about one meter long.

The black mist condensed into wings, and suddenly, it turned into a black lightning and chased towards the spirit body.

In an instant, a black figure stopped in front of the spirit body.

The young black tiger let out a majestic roar, then popped out its sharp claws, and swung forward suddenly. The black mist lingered around its front paw, stretched and twisted wildly in front of it, and finally formed an approximately There are black mist tiger claws five or six meters high.

The huge tiger claws slapped towards the spirit body in an instant.

The group of spirit bodies wanted to go straight through the tiger's claws and escape from here, but they were unexpectedly caught in the palm of the hand by the black mist, and slammed into the black-gray mountain wall beside them in a bewildered expression.

嘭

The rock cracked, and a huge paw print appeared on the rock wall. In the middle of the paw print was a spirit body wrapped in black mist.

At this moment, the spirit body in the black mist was struggling crazily, a black figure struck in an instant, stretched out claws lingering in the black mist, and completely pressed the struggling spirit body into the rock wall.

"Roar!"

The young Heihu stepped on the ring spirit and roared to the sky, his slightly immature voice already had a taste of the poor old man back then.

At the entrance of the cave, the corners of Gandalf's mouth twitched vigorously, his eyes full of shock and dullness.

Lin Yi was floating in the sky, looking at the young Heihu howling up to the sky with relief.

Lin Yi was a little surprised at first that the little black cat could touch the spiritual body of the ring spirit, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed reasonable.

After all, Qiongqi's black mist is actually war karma in essence.

The black mist is only the carrier of karma. In fact, the real karma is not like this. The black mist seen by real creatures is actually just the tip of the iceberg where karma penetrates into reality.

Although ring spirits also exist in the invisible world, compared with things like karma, they are not only 01:30 points lower in grade, so how can they pass through karma?

Soon, the young black tiger flapped its wings and flew back slowly.

The spirit body wrapped in black mist was caught in the tiger's palm and thrown on the platform in front of the cave entrance.

The smoke and dust filled the air, and Gandalf quickly came back to his senses.

At this time, the white beard on his face played a role. Gandalf only moved a few muscles that were not covered by the white beard, and his previous dull expression completely changed into a serious and serious expression.

He leaned on his staff and raised his head, looked at Lin Yi and said in a deep voice.

"Your Excellency Lin Yi, it's time for you to act."

Lin Yi nodded, and landed on the platform holding the long sword at his waist.

But just as he was about to draw his sword, Lin Yi suddenly felt a movement in his mind. He remembered a skill that he had never used before, so he let go of his right hand holding the hilt of the sword, and looked at Gandalf with puzzled eyes. Little black tiger.

Under Lin Yi's gaze, the expression on Hei Hu's face froze for a moment, then he seemed to understand what Lin Yi meant, and walked to the spirit body with a hint of surprise and excitement.

The sharp tiger claws popped out immediately, and then slowly raised.

In the next second, a pitch-black flame suddenly ignited, quickly spreading and covering the entire sharp claw.

Special skill - war karma!

The tiger claws burning with black flames patted down.

The spirit body wrapped in the black mist just touched the surface of the flame, and it ignited instantly like dry grass covered with grease.

Black flames rose vigorously, bursting sparks flying everywhere.

Even the little black tiger who lit it himself was startled, and quickly jumped back a step.

The spirit body contaminated by the black flames struggled even more crazily, and even let out an extremely painful wailing in the form of a spirit body.

This wailing was sharp and piercing, even if the ears were plugged, it could be heard clearly.

Because that was not a real voice, but a wailing from the soul level.

Soon, this painful wail gradually disappeared, and the spirit body in front of him was also burned clean by the black flames, leaving no dregs left.

The black tiger on the side also licked its paws as if it was full, and then transformed into the little black cat the size of a palm before, and flew to Lin Yi's shoulder with vibrating wings.

Lin Yi looked thoughtfully at the place where the black fire had burned out, and a sense of enlightenment rose in his heart.

He suddenly remembered the description on the skill panel. The duration and burning damage of war karma depended on the karma of the attacked. The more karma, the higher the karma fire damage and the longer the duration.

Obviously, this ring spirit had monstrous karma, but his own strength couldn't match the monstrous karma, so he burnt for less than half a minute before being completely burned by the black karma.

So the question is, what should I do with the karma that has not been completely burned?

"..."

Lin Yi turned his head and glanced at the little black cat with a lazy expression on his shoulder, as if he was full of food. While feeling in his heart, "There is such a good thing", he stretched out his hand and scratched the little black cat's chin.

Gandalf's scalp was numb looking at the little black cat, and there was a hint of shock in his gaze, as well as vague fear.

No wonder he was jealous, it was because the flames just now were too terrifying and evil!

The black fire that can burn the soul, in Gandalf's senses, is like the evil fire spreading from the bottom of hell, attached to the deepest malice in the world.

This black cat must be a dark creature!

Moreover, it is a dark creature with extremely powerful strength and extremely pure bloodlines!

Chapter 386 What a pure dark power

The little black cat shook its head and lay down lazily.

Seeing this, Lin Yi smiled, lowered his arms, looked at Gandalf and asked.

"Since the Ring Spirits have been released, shall we still enter the tombs in the mountains?"

"……certainly."

Gandalf came back to his senses and nodded slowly.

"The seals of the tombs are very strong. It is absolutely impossible for a single ring spirit to break from the inside, so there must be external help. Since the three ring spirits just now are still hovering between the surrounding mountains, it means..."

"It means that the person who broke the seal is still in the tombs."

Lin Yi nodded, indicating that he had understood.

"In that case, let's go in quickly!"

After speaking, Lin Yi walked into the cave first.

Gandalf followed closely behind, but his eyes lingered vaguely around Lin Yi's shoulders.

……

Dol Guldur.

In this dark land, everything looks dead.

The trees in the forest have withered for thousands of years, their shapes are pale and distorted. There is not a trace of leaves on the trees, let alone birds. The air is filled with the rotten smell of fallen leaves. The thick rotting leaves exposed the dense white bones below.

Everything was silent, only the sound of the wind blowing through the mountain gap still sounded as usual.

— Generally speaking, it is true.

But today, in Dol Guldur's well-known necromancer's lair in Middle-earth, a roar full of anger and faint panic came out. All the dark creatures in the territory who heard the roar couldn't help but stop their current actions. , shivering there.

In the dark necromancer's lair, a figure wearing a black cloak turned his back to the cave entrance. The darkness flowed out from the hem of the cloak like mist, continuously dissipating in the air.

Suddenly, it seemed that the dark woven cloak was ignited by something, and it started to burn rapidly from the end, and the black flame spread upward in an instant.

The black shadow immediately sensed the strange situation behind him, and without hesitation tore off the cloak on his body, and threw it on the ground.

The cloak was discarded and burned, and a figure in full body armor appeared in the lair.

He was wearing a ferocious silver-gray armor, a helmet full of spikes, complicated and mysterious evil spells engraved on the breastplate, curved blades like sharp claws on the shoulder armor and many joints, and the crown on the top of his head The sharp thorns shot straight into the sky like sharp swords, and a pair of bright red vertical pupils like flames were exposed from the V-shaped gap of the visor.

From a distance, it looks like a killing machine covered in sharp blades.

If Gandalf was here, he would immediately recognize his identity, because he was the dark enemy that Gandalf had a hunch and had been on guard for a long time——Sauron!

In the next era, Sauron suffered a tragic defeat in the Battle of the Last Alliance, and for a long time lost the ability to condense entities. Until around 1000 in the third era, Sauron's spirit body gradually recovered and solidified, and A necromancer who quietly incarnated as a human, began to live in the Great Green Forest, where he built a fortress called Dol Guldur.

At first, the world thought it was a returned ring spirit causing rebellion (only part of the tombs in the mountains were buried), so they didn't feel too much threat. Only the woodland kingdom whose territory had been eroded angrily launched an army against Dol Gurdur. Many dark creatures fight.

But no one, or elf, has really seen the so-called necromancer.

Therefore, the Holy White Council composed of the gray robe wizard Gandalf, the white robe wizard Saruman, the elf Galadriel and others sensed that something was wrong, and began to secretly investigate the true identity of the necromancer.

If Lin Yi hadn't interrupted the situation, Gandalf would have sneaked into Dol Guldur within half a month and discovered Sauron's true identity.

At this moment, Sauron in the lair was standing there, holding the shining crystal ball in his right hand, looking at the cloak in the air that was burned by the black flames in amazement.

"what happened?"

"What is that flame?"

"Who killed the ring spirit?!"

A series of questions flashed in Sauron's mind, and his eyes were full of anger and surprise.

He could sense that three ring spirits had died, and they were truly dead. Even he couldn't revive them, and even the attempt to recall them attracted the terrifying black flame just now.

Thinking of that black flame, Sauron's heart felt heavy as if a big stone was falling.

Fortunately, the nine ring spirits had already been conquered by Sauron, so that he would submit to him without wearing the ring of power, so he took back the nine rings of power a long time ago.

And as long as the ring of power is still in his hands, things like ring spirits are reproducible resources.

So the death of the Nazgold would only make Sauron angry and troubled, but it would not surprise him.

What really surprised him was the black flame.

There is no doubt that that black flame is definitely pure dark power, and it is even higher than him in terms of the purity and power of darkness.

Sauron didn't know exactly how high it was, after all, he had only seen the black flame once.

Moreover, the meeting was quite hasty this time, and there was not much time left for him to spy.

"When did such a powerful dark force appear on Middle Earth?"

Sauron frowned tightly, raised the crystal ball in his hand after pondering for a while.

A burst of light flashed across the crystal ball, and the crystal ball suddenly floated slowly in the air.

Sauron immediately took a step back, and a huge flame ignited in the dark lair, forming a huge eye of flame behind him, and the thick darkness covered Sauron's body, forming the giant eye. pitch-black vertical pupils.

The darkness gathered, Sauron said in a deep voice.

"Immediately gather the army and march towards the tombs in the mountains. A powerful dark force has appeared there. I need to find out whether this force is an enemy or a friend."

"Mordor stands still, if the situation is not right, I will go back to sit in Mordor..."

After issuing several orders in succession, a glint of haze flashed in Sauron's eyes.

Even with such a precise order, Sauron was still worried.

There is no way, few orcs and half-orcs under him have brains, and the only one who has a brain is Azog, who is still trapped in the tombs in the mountains, and is very likely to be killed indiscriminately by the inexplicable strong man.

Therefore, if you want to find out information about this unknown enemy, you can't just rely on these idiots in the underworld...

Thinking of this, Sauron turned around, and the pure darkness was woven into a cloak again, covering his whole body. A bright red flame ignited in his bright yellow vertical pupils, and he looked at the crystal ball in his hand with a slightly pensive gaze.
