"Clang … Clang …"
The bell rang.
Fangzheng raised his head and looked at the night sky in front of him. The blood moon that was originally hanging high in the sky had disappeared, and the silver moon reappeared in the night sky. The surroundings were silent. There was no sound at all. He carried his greatsword and slowly walked into the small church in front of him.
At this moment, only Maria was left in the small church.
"You're back."
Maria smiled and nodded at Fangzheng as he walked into the small church. As for Fangzheng, he bowed and scanned his surroundings.
"Where are they?"
"The nightmare is over. They'll wake up from the real world soon."
Maria raised her head and closed her eyes as she answered.
"After such a long time, such a long nightmare … it's finally coming to an end."
Maria muttered to herself and looked at Fangzheng again.
"Are you leaving? A foreigner? "
"Yes."
Hearing Maria's question, Fangzheng nodded.
"In this world, I'm just a passerby. And now, I've completed my duty … What about you?"
"I'm going to stay here."
Facing Fangzheng's question, Maria was silent for a moment before she gave her answer.
"Although the nightmare is over, I know it's not over yet. I plan to re-establish the Hunter Force, but this time, our targets won't just be those evil monsters. We'll destroy the ruins of those evil ancient gods, destroy the power they have, and prevent the tragedy of Yanan from happening again. "
"Then I can only wish you good luck. The monsters of the abyss aren't that easy to deal with."
Hearing Maria's answer, Fangzheng shrugged. He could guess why Maria made such a decision. But he couldn't say anything else. So Fangzheng was silent for a moment, then he took out the music box and the ruby brooch from his pocket and handed them over.
"Pass this to the child for me … As for what to say … it's up to you."
"… I understand."
Hearing Fangzheng's words, Maria lowered her head. She stared at the music box and brooch in Fangzheng's hands and reached out to take them. Maria raised her head again and looked at Fangzheng.
"Goodbye, foreigner."
Before he could finish his sentence, Fangzheng saw Maria's figure being surrounded by a cloud of white mist before slowly disappearing into the air. At that moment, there was no one else in the chapel other than Fangzheng.
"Phew … It's done."
Looking at the empty chapel, Fangzheng heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he raised the greatsword in his hand and aimed it at the ground.
"The world trembles from my torment, the pitiful kingdom collapses from my wrath! In the end, all of Yanan will be destroyed. Under my shadow, everything will turn to ashes! "
After reciting this line again, Fangzheng shook his head.
"Sure enough, words can't be spoken carelessly, and lines can't be recited carelessly. But after reciting it, it actually came true?"
Of course, Fangzheng didn't intend to destroy this world, but he planned to pack up this dream world and burn it to repair the system before he left.
Do I really have to consider renaming the Tendo Temple to the Burning Legion?
Thinking of this, Fangzheng sighed again. He raised the greatsword in his hand and stabbed it into the ground!
Kacha!
The sharp greatsword was deeply inserted into the stone slab in the center of the chapel. Then, the dark blade gradually began to flicker with scarlet flames. Surging flames erupted from the sword and quickly spread in all directions. It was like a raging whirlpool or a wild tornado, engulfing everything in its surroundings in bright red flames.
The flames began to spread from the chapel to the whole of Yanan, including the Church, the Forbidden Forest, and Byron Weiss Academy. Everything was burning in the flames. Countless bright red sparks flew up along with the smoke. Among the flames, there was also black smoke ….
At the same time, the [System Repair Progress] in front of Fangzheng increased rapidly. It soon went from 5% to 30%.
"Ashes without fire!"
While Fangzheng was burning the dream world, Eldridge's voice suddenly rang in his ears again. The voice seemed to be full of madness, hatred, and endless anger.
"Don't think this is the end! I'll curse you! I'll curse you to step into the abyss like me! Hahahaha!! "
Along with Eldridge's wild laughter, Fangzheng suddenly discovered that the black smoke produced when the dream world was burning around him seemed to be attracted by something. It rushed towards him from all directions and wrapped him up. Then, Fangzheng felt a chaotic and dark power penetrating into his body through his skin!
Not good!
Realizing this, Fangzheng was immediately alarmed. Then, he closed his eyes and once again entered his soul world.
In the Firelink Sacrificial Grounds in the spiritual world, the Fireproof Maiden was still standing quietly beside the flames, watching the surroundings. And when Fangzheng entered the depths of his soul, he could see that the smoke was seeping in from the surrounding walls, and then condensing into something similar to muddy water, causing a "storm" in the entire sacrificial ground.
"Lady Ashes."
Upon seeing Fangzheng's arrival, the Fireproof Maiden saluted him respectfully. Fangzheng nodded back at her, then looked at everything in front of him with a solemn expression.
"What's the situation now? Fiery Maiden? "
"The power of the abyss is pouring into your body and fusing with your soul … Lady Ashes, you should know very well what this means."
"In other words, I've been infected by the abyss?"
Hearing her answer, Fangzheng asked with a serious expression. She nodded.
"Yes, Lady Ashes. The power of the abyss will fuse with the dark power in your body … After all, you know very well that humans are born with the soul of darkness …."
"That's why I'm a human …."
Fangzheng gritted his teeth as he muttered to himself. He didn't expect that bastard Eldridge to be so disgusting. Not only did he send him on his way, he even schemed against him before he died. In general, after being infected by the abyss, there was only one outcome …. Just look at the bosses that Fangzheng killed in the Dark Soul World.
But … would things really turn out as Eldridge thought?
"Fiery Maiden."
Looking at the black mud flowing down the wall, Fangzheng said.
"Is there a way for me to master the flame while also possessing the power of the abyss?"
"This …."
Hearing Fangzheng's question, the Fireproof Maiden was silent for a moment.
"Humans are born in the abyss …. Humans are born with darkness, but they yearn for the light, which is why they have the glory of the first flame."
Fangzheng raised his hand towards the flame in front of him.
"Because we live in darkness, we yearn for the light. If that's the case, why can't light and darkness coexist? The abyss can't be destroyed, just like we can't destroy the dark side of ourselves as humans. Yin and Yang, light and darkness, since it's all a cycle, why choose one? "
As he spoke, Fangzheng clenched his fists tightly.
"I want to try. After all … only the weak make a choice, but the strong … want everything!"
