Drowning in the Gentle Country [Western Fantasy]

The snow fell more and more, gradually accumulating on the ground.

The clouds covered the moonlight, and in the middle of the night, we could only move forward with the dim starlight.The heavy snow fell on the body and turned into bone-chilling rain, which flowed into the clothes from the back of the neck, making people shiver with ice.

Iviedo's face was as pale as paper, as white as snow, but he pushed away Wilt's support, managed to hold his breath, and took the lead in walking ahead. Wilt frowned deeply, and followed with concern later.

The Tatari Temple is just around the corner.

The heavy snow was blowing, the light was dim, and from a distance, there was no shining light in the temple, and the surrounding fields were as quiet as a prison isolated from the world in another space, not even a breath of life could be detected.

Iviedo clutched his chest tightly, panting with difficulty, his red eyes fixed on the 36 steps ahead - the melted snow mixed with the dark red blood slowly flowed into the crevices of the stone.

There was only a rumbling sound in his mind, his head hurt like it was about to split open on the spot, and the force that was deliberately suppressed crazily broke through the confinement, stripping his consciousness infinitely, and in an instant, the darkness before his eyes passed——

Wilt behind him supported him.

"Thank you." Iviedo said subconsciously. Seeing Wilt's angry face, he still didn't feel half comforted.Wilt didn't know anything yet, but after a moment of severe pain and unconsciousness, he had already vaguely guessed how terrible things had happened in the temple.

Iviedo walked in the front, crossed the 36 steps with great difficulty, and with trembling lips and hands, pushed open the majestic gate of the Tatari Temple.

The thick gate of the temple made a dull sound of "cracking", hovering in the silent space, and reaching the depths of the huge temple, echoing infinitely.The interior of the Tatari Temple is empty and the roof is soaring, but it is still as dark as an abyss, and the end cannot be seen at a glance. The eternal holy fire hanging above it is no longer burning, and the blurry inside can only be vaguely seen through the starlight in the night sky. scene.

—there were corpses all over the place.

There are a total of twelve priests in the Tatari Temple, one high priest in charge of the affairs of the temple, four apprentice priests, and the remaining seven official priests.As listeners of the gods, each of them has received formal training, and their proficiency includes but is not limited to magic, language, healing, and physical skills. The excellent high priests of the temple even have the ability to predict with one hand, and they also do it in the battle of killing gods. Made a great contribution.

But now, only relying on the light from the outside, as far as their eyes could see, the three trainee priests except Leo fell to the ground stiffly, with their hands clasped on their chests in a devout prayer posture , but the dagger in his hand was aimed at his heart, and he inserted it into his chest without hesitation. If it weren't for the unbearable horror on their faces, no matter how you look at it, it would be a suicide gesture——

But how could it be suicide!

Wilt clenched Ivydo's palm tightly, trying his best to cover up the slight trembling. His eyes, which were still visible in the dark, scanned the empty temple ahead, but what he saw made the blood in his body freeze.

——On the ground a little farther away, the seven official priests also died tragically on the ground. Different from the suicide posture of the three apprentice priests, they had dark marks on their necks, their eyes were helpless and absent-minded, and their ferocious expressions showed How much pain he suffered during his lifetime.

And in a place farther away, Leo and Helen, who had a happy dinner with them not long ago, were also covered in blood, reckless.

"...This is Tatari Town... this is Tatari Temple... who is it!!" Wilt murmured, and the last resounding dragon chant directly broke the dead space, his Anger turned into real deterrence, like tangible ripples that quickly burst open in the wind, shattering the mosaic window installed in the temple, and the image of the gods drawn on it also instantly shattered.The shattered glass flew in all directions, reflecting Wilt's furious vertical pupils.

Tatari Town, Tatari Temple, the place he swore to guard and protect all his life, but without his knowledge, such a tragedy happened!But in theory, even a holy mage can't slaughter the priests of the entire temple without a sound, at least the high priest is strong enough to protect himself!And Leo and Helen almost crashed into this bloody massacre!

Wilt, who was completely enraged, didn't even realize for the first time how much pain the dragon power he radiated had brought to Iviedo, but contrary to Wilt whose reason was hanging by a thread, Iviedo was very nervous at this moment. Calm, already so calm that he swallowed the blood from his throat expressionlessly, dragged his body that was about to collapse, and took two steps forward, checked the injuries of Leo and Helen, and even brought back Wilt's sanity .

"Leo... there is no hope..." Beads of painful sweat floated on his forehead, and Iviedo spit out the words weakly, the blue eyes were burning with cold flames, and no one knew what kind of monstrous anger was contained in them , "...Helen, thank Susan for giving her this gem, which is the power of the goddess of life."

The emerald placed next to Helen's body was a gift from the Goddess of Life that Grandma Susan had given her back then, so that she would not die immediately after being attacked like this, and her extremely weak life could be maintained as much as possible.

"Okay... that's great..." Wilt said wearily, a purple light emerged from his hand, continuously giving Helen his vitality.Maybe Susan was right. Believers of the Goddess of Life couldn't force their lives to be extended, but it wasn't Helen's fault. She was still a young girl with a bright future. She would soon pass the priest exam and become the pride of her mother and grandma... ...But Leo, there is no other way, Mr. Tucci's only son, that talented, cute and straightforward boy, whose earlobe turns red when he talks about someone he likes!

"Upstairs..." Iviedo said with his eyes closed. If Wilt's anger is clearly visible, then Iviedo's fury can only be seen from the strength with which he pinched his palms to prevent himself from fainting. One or two, "The high priest...and the murderer must be on it."

As if to confirm his guess, a faint flame suddenly lit up in the depths of the dark and deep second floor of the Tatari Temple.

Wilt found the source of his anger. He shouted loudly, and a pair of hard wings wrapped in amethyst grew out of thin air on his straight back. The wings were as sharp as knives, and he took Iviedo through the air. .

"what----"

In the air, in the depths of the darkness, there was a shrill scream, and the brutal sound hit the soul directly, as if it was being torn, bitten and devoured by someone, devouring nothing left.

But when they flew to the position where they were at eye level with the second floor of the temple, they realized that the shriek in this scream was not an illusion at all!Not for any other reason!The soul of the screamer—the high priest of the Tatari Temple was literally being eaten!The dead body was thrown aside, and the soul that still had power and divinity was torn apart, and then was devoured by people!Three or five blows became a piece of dust that never existed on the mainland!

The man who buried his head in devouring licked his fingers, raised his eyes as ambitious as a falcon from the darkness, and said casually: "It came so fast...you guys still discovered it."

His side squatting body slowly stood upright, and then turned around, showing a sarcastic smile to this side.

——Coincidentally, Wilt really knew this person.

"Klein..." Wilt said heavily and slowly, somewhat unbelievably, "How could it be you?"

Klein, Mephisto's last disciple, Wilt had only met him a few times, if he hadn't happened to see Mephisto's record about his disciples at Susan's house today, he might have Can't remember the person's name.

There is no way, he is too unremarkable, with low achievements in magic research and few deeds, even the most familiar mentor gave him only a one-page introduction.

But what did such a person do in the Tatari Temple!

"Who isn't I?" Klein squinted his eyes and said, "Oluka? A traitor from the God-killing Alliance"? Unfortunately, just ask the people around you, and you will know who the real traitor is."

Wilt turned his head suddenly. Beside him, Iviedo with cold eyes whispered, "I remember you. I came to Mance and Fiore wearing a cloak that day and said that I would cooperate with them."

Traitor of God Punishment Alliance!Wilt's heart was full of waves.When the demon legion attacked various cities back then, they were always able to strike at the weak points of their support and defense, targeting attacks everywhere, causing extremely heavy damage to the alliance.Gradually, news of traitors collaborating with demons spread in the alliance. Duke Nona was furious and ordered a large-scale investigation several times.As the general manager, Wilt asked Mephistopheles for help - one of his disciples was good at mind magic and was very useful in this regard - and that person was Klein.

But the "traitor" they finally uncovered was Oluka, Mephisto's first disciple!Oluka, who is excellent, self-disciplined, and whose level of space magic is no worse than Mephisto.Mephisto was in great pain, and imprisoned Oluka with his slightly superior space magic, and begged Wilt not to report it, but only wanted to solve the master-apprentice problem in private, and Wilt agreed.Afterwards, Mephisto felt ashamed, so he kept sloppy reporting on his duties, waiting for the day when the Queen couldn't bear it anymore and removed him as the president of the Wizards Association.

But now, according to Iviedo, that "traitor of God Punishment Alliance" is Klein?

Klein licked his lips: "As expected, you still remember me, and I knew that no one in Fiore's lair would be spared. However, it really makes me happy that you, a weak human being, can get close to God of War. try to find."

Wilt said coldly: "You killed those four people? And seriously injured Karina?"

"No, no, it's not me." Klein laughed evilly, "It's the 'obedient Oluka', he listens to me the most, he only listens to me, I 'said' kill anyone who has seen me Man, he did it."

Klein's words seem to have the magic power of demagogy, as long as one is not paying attention, he will lose his mind.Wilt reacted the moment he spoke, and quickly covered Ivedo's ears: "Don't listen to his hints, his spiritual magic is indeed excellent."

"Hey, your spiritual power and spiritual magic are also very powerful..." Klein bit his fingernails, and suddenly laughed, "As expected of the Amethyst Dragon!"

Wilt's face changed drastically: "What did you say!"

"A touching sacrifice! 'It will be under my protection, every inch of it, every river and every townsman, as long as I live.' What an inspiring promise!" Lei Yin frantically recited what Wilt had said during the divine conferring ceremony, and his smile remained undiminished. His hands quickly drew the magic circle. Judging from the pattern alone, it seemed to be a space magic.

"If I hadn't seen your scars with my own eyes! I've confirmed your weakness! I've also witnessed your stupid self-sacrifice! I wouldn't have dared to make a move easily and plunder the tiny godheads of these temple priests..." Half of him floated into the air, sneering Looking down at Wilt again, the light of the magic circle in his hand suddenly appeared——

Wilt felt a familiar strong coercion when the creature from another space stretched out a claw!This kind of momentum that makes all creatures in the world bow their heads, this kind of fighting and shouting from the same kind makes every nerve of him beat and every drop of blood boil!

Finally, when the metal skeleton in a different space fully displayed his huge body, the landing ground on the second floor of the temple couldn't bear the huge demonic evil energy, and it directly shattered and fell!

Wilt stared at the metal skull with bloodthirsty and terrifying eyes, and Klein shouted excitedly:

"Fiore, who gave up his body, come, kill him! Take his skeleton! Let me refine you into an immortal dracolich!"
