Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest

The deep purple mist was still surging on the cut section of Mordred, and strange blood bubbles were emerging like boiling water.

The dark erosion spiritual threads spread from it and wriggled to the other part of the body, as if trying to bridge the two broken parts together again.

Seeing this, Luo Xiu recalled the Burning Feather Raven and summoned the "Nightmare Wolf" at the same time.

Fenrir, covered with dark purple magic flames, appeared from the shadow in front of Luo Xiu and quickly pounced on the lower half of Mordred's body.

The moment Fenrir appeared, Luo Xiu used the "Domination Mark" to infuse it with a large amount of "Dark Erosion" spirituality.

This caused the spirituality in Fenrir to surge greatly, and it also radiated all the surging spirituality it was given, forming a dark and deep abyssal beast domain.

At this time, Fenrir was like a magnet placed in a magnetic field.

The moment Fenrir appeared and released the surging dark erosion spirit, the spirit that bridged the two halves of Mordred's body was completely disturbed. In the cross-section of his two halves, the spirit that was originally in a perfect arc was instantly broken, and formed several unconnected spiritual threads.

These disordered spiritual threads, as if ownerless, scattered and scattered into finer and weaker spiritual threads.

In the end, they rushed to the darker, more original, and real "abyss" beast.

Countless scattered spirits finally gathered in Fenrir's body. And he also began to greedily absorb these energies, completely digesting them and absorbing them into his own power.

"You...you..."

In the distance, Mordred, who was "dying" but still struggling, uttered a weak and weak murmur.

"You are... indeed... a disaster..."

"..."

Mordred's last resort was thus divided and dissolved by Fenrir, the "Wolf of Nightmare".

In the real abyss, in the purgatory where the races of the "abyss" devour each other and fight to the death, the power of "dark erosion" is like this, belonging to a higher point in the food chain.

Mordred was just "eroded". In the final analysis, he was not a creature of the real abyss. He was just a carrier of the "dark erosion" power of the remaining "shadow of disaster".

When Mordred was unable to resist and could not use such a surging and powerful "dark erosion" spirit, the power he possessed was a delicious delicacy in front of Fenrir, a tempting feast.

...

While Fenrir was absorbing Mordred's "dark erosion" power, Luo Xiu slowly walked towards the other half of Mordred.

At this time, Mordred's feather helmet had been smashed, revealing his hideous, etched face.

That was a very scary face. If it were placed in the real world outside, it could be used as a good way to stop children from crying at night... Luo Xiu thought to himself, his eyes were also fixed on Mordred's face, and his gradually blurred eyes intersected with Mordred's.

At this time, Mordred's eyes had lost most of their spirit, and the deep purple symbolizing "dark erosion" was gradually fading, revealing his original pupil color.

That was the azure blue like lake water.

That was the original color of Mordred's pupils.

When the dark purple color gradually faded, revealing the azure pupil color that was originally covered, Luo Xiu inexplicably thought of the ebb tide. Think of the clean blue beach without a trace of impurities after being washed by the tide.

"Ah..."

In the pupils that gradually became azure, Luo Xiu felt tranquility, peace, and... relief.

Mordred, the darkness in his eyes gradually disappeared, and the dark, cruel and bloodthirsty eyes that were originally filled with them gradually dissolved with the passing of life. At the last moment, he found his true and clear self.

"I should... thank you... strange intruder."

Mordred's body no longer struggled, but just lay peacefully on the yellow sand. The blood from the broken face was still pouring out, but he no longer stopped them, and no longer resisted the end of his life.

"I seem to... do something stupid."

Mordred, he murmured in a self-deprecating voice.

"I am... a knight who protects "authority"... It's ridiculous..."

"I was actually... bewitched by the disaster... and committed such a crime..."

"My king is not wrong... He is not wrong..."

"..."

Mordred's voice gradually became low, and in the end it was as thin as a mosquito, and it was almost impossible to hear what he was saying.

Luo Xiu listened silently, his expression as calm as ever.

He knew that the reason why Mordred did not become a "guardian spirit" with residual obsession like other "national knights" was probably because he was bewitched by the "dark erosion", that is, the existence of the "abyss", and merged with its power.

The power of the abyss eroded his soul, but also allowed him to survive like a monster.

He was not like Grieville and Miklos, who "died" once and then transcended from the state of "dead spirit" with obsession, but simply embraced the taboo and lived to this day...

As for the existence that bewitched Mordred, Luo Xiu guessed that it was most likely a "demon", and at least a demon of the "ancient spirit" level, otherwise it would not be able to do such a thing.

However, Luo Xiu did not feel the breath of another "demon" here.

Perhaps he did not establish a contract with Mordred, but only regarded Mordred, who was only at the strength of the "fourth destiny" at that time, as an object to be "given" the forbidden power of the abyss when he was in the mood...

Demons are indeed capable of such things. The higher the demon, the more interested they are in things like persuading people to fall and causing chaos.

And the "disaster" that Mordred kept talking about... Luo Xiu also understood the true symbolic meaning behind this word.

——That is the [Abyss]! It is the abyss race that was born from the seven abysses and eroded the entire world in the ancient Age of Gods!

In the Age of Gods, when the seven abysses had not yet been sealed, and the pillar gods and the gods of their respective destinies were still walking in the world, [Abyss] and "disaster" were almost completely equal.

However, Luo Xiu only knew this much.

Combined with some vague knowledge about that era in his memory, he could only infer this from Mordred's words.

Suddenly, Mordred, who had been lying on the ground for a long time without moving, suddenly opened his eyes again.

His blue eyes stared straight at Luo Xiu, and his sight fell on Luo Xiu's black-patterned puppet face, as if he wanted to see through the mask and look directly at Luo Xiu's expression under the mask.

"... Strange... friend."

Mordred used all his strength to make his voice as loud as possible, and said to Luo Xiu intermittently:

"Thank you... for letting me... be... free..."

"But... I still have... something I miss."

"..."

"Go ahead." Luo Xiu responded in a calm voice.

"..."

"Since you can... come here... come to the 'Land of Exile'..."

Mordred said in a weak voice: "You should have... met with Grievel, Miklos, and... Alpad..."

"I want to know... them..."

"..."

"I freed them."

Luo Xiu still spoke calmly, but his tone changed from the coldness at the beginning to a hint of gentleness.

"They became undead spirits, and later became guardian spirits. I ended their immortal, wandering, and corrupt fate, and let them truly rest in peace."

"..."

"That's... good."

When Luo Xiu said this, a relieved smile appeared on Mordred's ferocious face.

"This is the destination... that a knight should have..."

"..."

"Exiled Knight" Mordred, his voice was completely silent at this point, his pupils began to sag, and the last bit of life he had been holding on to completely disappeared.

In Luo Xiu's panel, a prompt to kill "Exiled Knight" Mordred popped up at the same time.

He temporarily put the reward prompt aside, walked forward a few steps, leaned down, stretched out his hand and gently wiped Mordred's face, and closed his sag, no longer shining eyes.

After that, Luo Xiu stood up and summoned the "Burning Feather Raven".

The holy flame spread like golden mist, covering Mordred's body. The blazing flames lit up a bright and warm corner of the dark battlefield.

…

Until the two broken pieces of Mordred were burned to ashes and turned into dust, Luo Xiu walked to the burning embers and leaned over to pick up the last piece of the shining "Isor King's Crown Fragment".

While picking up the fragments, Luo Xiu's panel once again showed a new prompt.

[You have obtained: Isor King's Crown Fragment (4/4)]

[Put together four pieces of crown fragments to synthesize "Isor Crown\
