The Shadow of the Crown of Snow [Western Fantasy]

They saw the end of the corridor, and the end was in sight.

This long battle is finally coming to an end in the underground city of Yoda, the Nagrand Empire, which has never seen the sun.

The door to the basement is not as tall as the other doors in the castle, nor is it decorated with complicated patterns. It looks like an ordinary wooden door, behind the door is blocked by the power of faith hundreds of times stronger than in the corridor, making He Carter had a little trouble pushing it away.

The wooden door was pushed open slowly, and then quickly closed automatically after they entered the basement. Hecate turned around and tried to push again, but it remained motionless.

Selene has already planned this moment in her mind countless times, thinking about every detail, who should be the first to test Hussein, and how to deal with him if his strength does not match the expectation... However When she really stood here, she realized that all her previous careful plans were useless.

The scene here is beyond her thinking as a human being.

The walls of the basement are inlaid with night pearls, but none of them are lit. The only light source in the basement is the crescent blade in Hecate's hand.Hecate couldn't see anything in the dark, so she carefully put the God of Light on the ground, and walked into the darkness alone.

After their eyes gradually adapted to the light, other people could vaguely see some vague outlines. There was nothing else in the basement, only a throne that was exactly the same as the one on the ground was placed in front of the wall that Hecate was walking towards.

Others may not recognize the things on the throne, but Selene does.That was the black cocoon that Hussain formed that day in the castle of the Frosted City.

Hecate's power of faith is white because of its purity, and the power of faith of the God of Light is slightly golden because she is a ray of light. From this point of view, why Hussein's power of faith is pitch black? It is not difficult to understand.

He is used to plundering from others, the power of faith and life force from everywhere are mixed together, and after being forcibly fused, it becomes such a dirty black.It has to be admitted that there is a huge power hidden under this filthy blackness.

Only then did she discover that the shape of the cocoon was like a heart, and at the same time it was beating rhythmically like a heart. From time to time, a black snake suddenly appeared beside the cocoon, and the smoke that made up the body dissipated and decomposed, entering the cocoon.

Hecate is not someone who would hesitate for too long at a time like this. She knew what the purpose of this cocoon was, and she also knew how terrifying Hussein might be today. She put away the light on the blade without hesitation, and condensed her faith Zhizhi swung the blade with all his strength towards the black cocoon on the throne.

The Crescent Blade was carefully forged by the God of Light, and has followed Hecate for many years. It can carry the power of faith, and can also break through the protection of the power of faith. Even if it rises to the battle between gods and gods, it is also a rare weapon.

However, the blow had no effect on Cocoon.The beating of the cocoon stopped for a moment when it was hit, and then resumed the rhythm just now. The black snake continued to appear, injecting the power of faith and vitality into the cocoon.

The basement is full of Hussein's power of faith, constantly exerting pressure on people other than Hussein.Just like the trap he set up in the corridor leading to the basement, he also prepared in his hiding place. Only Hecate and the God of Light can stand here easily, and the other four feel uncomfortable just standing there. It's a little hard.

"God of Light, please open a barrier that can block the power of faith... Then you all come here." Hecate clapped his hands and lit the crescent blade again, so that others can be sure of themselves position, "I should not be able to break this cocoon by myself."

Hecate felt that Hussein's power of faith seemed to be devouring.

The God of Light can open an enchantment to protect herself and others from the outside world, but in the process of external force colliding with the enchantment, her own power will be consumed, and the enchantment will gradually be destroyed as the external force continues to attack .Hecate's Nord magic cannot protect others, but it can also protect itself by the same principle.

The divine arts of the two of them are essentially just a layer of invisible, stronger armor.

Hussein's cocoon was separated from the armor. Hecate's unreserved blow just now was like a blade slashing on the water. On the contrary, part of Hecate's power of faith gathered on the blade was taken away. He was sucked into the cocoon like those black snakes.

"You all come here, before Hussein absorbs all the contents of the cocoon, try to stop him no matter what." Hecate frowned, and after thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of any way to do it. Trying to break through will only bring more power of faith to Hussein, she hangs down the crescent blade discouragedly, "Selene?"

"I can only try it." Selene sighed, looking at the cocoon that was still beating on the throne, "Yinuo, could you please use a crossbow? Shoot an arrow at this cocoon, don't use Taoism .”

Gu Yinuo silently rewound the gun, aimed at the cocoon and pulled the trigger.

When Hecate just slashed with the crescent blade, the blade seemed to be slashed on the water. He clearly felt that his weapon had sunk into the enemy's body, but it did not cause any substantial damage to Cocoon. Gu Yinuo's crossbow? The same is true for the arrow. The front end of the crossbow? The arrow sank into the cocoon, stayed on the cocoon for a while and then fell off. Selene bent down to pick up the half-corroded gun from the ground.

Regardless of whether the power of faith is used or not, everything will be swallowed by the dark cocoon in front of him.

Unscrupulous people are indeed easier to become powerful than those who stick to the bottom line.

"I said, why are you in such a hurry? I will always come out of this thing."

In the darkness, Hussein's voice sounded.

"Who was the first to attack just now?" He seemed to be invisible to the outside world in the cocoon, and could only judge from the message sent to him by the cocoon, "Hecate? I thought I needed to prepare a little longer before I could defeat You, now it seems that I overestimated you."

In the next second, cracks appeared on the surface of the cocoon.There seemed to be a black snake in the cocoon that hadn't been fully absorbed. A large cloud of smoke gushed out from the gap in the cocoon, and formed a snake shape in the air. After coiling a few times, it rushed towards Selene and the others. The body made of these snake smoke can be hurt by sharp weapons. Hecate's crescent blade and Selene's long sword cut the black snake into several sections neatly.

Fragments of the cocoon were scattered and Hussein rose from his throne.He didn't wrap his arms with a cloak this time, and everyone could see that his hands and arms had turned into sharp claws that were close to beasts and birds of prey. There were scale-like feathers on his chin and neck, and his body was more huge.

He didn't look human at all.

"Don't you remember this place already, Hecate?" Hussein raised his hand and lit up the night pearls on the surrounding walls for lighting. "I don't know if seeing this reminds you?"

The light brought by the lighting of the night pearl allowed them to see the scene inside the basement clearly.The ground was covered with dried blood, and the black snakes were swimming close to the ground. The difference from the black snakes outside was that they all had a pair of green eyes.The same green eyes as Hussain.

It is not that Hecate has not been here.

The green eyes that Hecate was afraid of had never been Hussein's, but these black snakes.

They collected the scattered power of faith from the corners of the Nagrand Empire, and drew strength from the prey captured by Hussein. When the body of the black snake changed from shriveled to full, and the smoke was so fine that it showed the pattern of scales, they It would be recalled to this basement by Hussain, and then dispersed into smoke and entered Hecate's body - just like they did to Hussain's cocoon.

"Do you remember what this place is, Hecate?" Hussein laughed, his smile looking weird and contorted.

He lived in the sunny city of Yoda all year round, his skin was tanned to the color of ripe wheat, but now he became pale and sickly.

Hecate's mind was filled with messy memory fragments, she subconsciously held the crescent blade tighter, looked around in a panic, and the answer to the question was actually on her lips.

"Hecate." Selene grabbed her wrist worriedly, "Could it be here?"

"Even if Hecate didn't remember it, you should have guessed it, Selene? I always thought you were a smart person, but unfortunately... you are not smart enough to make up for your weakness." Hussein said from his throne He walked up and down, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "Hecate, this is where you were born."

Hussein caught the blade waved by Hecate with his bare hands. The power of faith on the surface of the crescent blade was condensed by Hecate to the point that it was about to explode, but Hussein's sharp claws were not damaged in any way. He held the blade, Throwing Hecate towards the pillar in the corner of the basement.

"Why do you hate me so much?" Udulla's scepter was also lightly caught by Hussein, "What I do is no different from what you Northlanders do. Your guardian The god Hecate also came to this point with the accumulation of dozens of souls. What right do you have to hate me? I just used what I can use better than you."

"Then turned the Nagrand Empire into a purgatory on earth." Selene pointed at Hussein with the tip of her sword, "Stop making excuses for yourself. We are different from you."
