When Brando saw the monster, he frowned slightly — it was the son of Garm. It seemed that he had already understood who was the final victor of this tragic war. After the great battle with the Dusk and the undead here, the Bronze Race had been dormant in the underworld of Helm for thousands of years.
As expected, they did not perish, but Brendel was curious. Did they come here before or after Kleis left her Divine Kingdom?
But Brando could not help but complain about another thing in his heart, and that was, how much of the information given by the Bugas was reliable? What kind of nonsense was this guardian of knowledge? Now, he began to wonder if the ancestors of the Saasalds had been banished from Ebabel Fortress to the mortal world because they had been banished from the Great Silver Library by the gods. After all, after the Azure War, Babel Fortress had lasted for quite a long time before it officially died of old age.
And with this work attitude, it was very possible.
Brando and the others looked back, and pairs of green eyes appeared in the darkness, counting from afar, thousands of them. Anyone would feel their hair stand on end if they were stared at by so many glowing green eyes, let alone in this strange environment. Medissa, Irene, Scarlet, Andrea and the others subconsciously moved closer to him.
The little female dragon and Flora also revealed their dragon wings, protecting the spellcasters in a circle — this was the most direct warning posture of the dragons in human form. But the two pairs of scaled wings, one gold and one silver, were quite beautiful under the faint light.
"What do we do?" The Shire asked in a low voice.
"What else can we do?" Brando had already drawn the holy sword Oderfeiss from his back, the blade gleaming faintly under the cold light. "Of course, the best strategy is to run —"
But perhaps the son of Garm also understood his words, and with a long howl, the vicious hound on the mountain of bones had already swooped down. That scene was simply shocking. It was as if countless rats were rushing down and converging into a surging torrent. However, unlike the rats, this was a type of monster that was extremely aggressive.
Ten meters away, the demon hound Garm had already bared its fangs and pounced over.
The Shire stretched out the staff in his hand, and the hound flew back, rolling into a ball with another of its kind behind it. Probably because he felt that this method was very effective, Charles simply muttered something and cast a wall of law in front of him. An invisible ripple spread out, and the demon dogs crashed into it one after another. In the blink of an eye, a thick layer of law was piled up.
Seeing this, the others followed suit. Brando threw the light ball in his hand to Tia, and at the same time, opened his left and right hands, immediately forming an impassable barrier on the left and right. As for Mephistopheles and Andrique, their soul Net was quite useful here.
"Which way?" Charles shouted over his shoulder.
"Tia!" Brendel called out.
"Huh? Oh —! " Tia hurriedly looked at the light ball in her hands, and a beam of light shot forward. But just as she was about to cry, the beam of light shone on the belly of the hounds in front of her. Outside the Wall of Law, the demon hounds had already blocked her view. Although the little girl tried her best to stand on her toes, it was to no avail. She could only anxiously shout, "My Lord, I can't see …!"
Brando shook his head and grabbed her by the collar, lifting her up and putting her on his shoulder. Tia's eyes finally lit up, and she quickly shouted, "Over there, over there!"
"Speak human language!" Brando shouted in annoyance.
"There are a lot of palaces over there!"
"It's Eleusinil." Medissa immediately replied. At this time, a fish that had escaped the net drilled through the gaps of the intertwined Soul Net. The little elf princess stabbed her spear with the back of her hand and pierced through it.
Everyone immediately charged towards the Divine Kingdom of the Goddess of the Dead Moon. Although they were not afraid of these low-level magical creatures with their strength, no one knew how many of them there were here, or even if there was something else behind them. Besides, even if they had the strength to kill all of these things, they did not have that much time.
Brando quickly led the others to open up a bloody path, while Irene summoned vines from behind to block the hounds' pursuit. The group quickly entered the territory of Eleusinil's divine kingdom. Soon, a long flight of stairs appeared in front of them, and the stairs led up to the palace in the fog. That was the Stairs of the Dead. In the golden age of the divine kingdom, there were countless ghosts wandering the Stairs of the Dead, and they were all Kleis's subjects.
But now, the gods had long since passed away, and Kleis, who was controlled by the Twilight Dragon, was just a puppet that had lost the power of the Law of Tiamat. Eleusinil's divine kingdom had not been visited by outsiders for tens of thousands of years, and as far as the eye could see, it was barren and empty, like a dead zone. In the distance, the temple hidden in the dense fog was also a scene of desolation and ruin.
Tia sat on Brando's shoulder and looked back, her little face pale. Behind them, the descendants of Garm were still in hot pursuit, rolling in the fog like a gray torrent. What scared her even more was the countless eyes in the darkness, which looked like a galaxy from afar.
A descendant of Garm pounced over, and she screamed in fright and threw out a fireball, but not only did the fireball not blow the hound away, it angered even more of the descendants of Garm.
Brando looked back and estimated the distance slightly, then pulled out the Holy Sword Oderfeiss and swung it back. A golden light suddenly appeared, and the two arcs of the sword were thousands of meters long. It flew over a distance of dozens of feet and landed heavily on the Stairs of the Dead. After a loud crack, in a thunderous roar, the Stairs of the Dead broke in front of everyone's eyes and fell into the endless abyss.
This attack completely blocked the path of Garm's descendants, and countless vicious dogs rolled down the cliff together. Their cries could be heard clearly from miles away.
Andrique and Mephistopheles looked at this scene, dumbfounded. The vampire girl even lost her composure and shouted, "Sir, are you crazy? This is the Stairs of the Dead! This is the sanctuary of Lady Kleis! How can you do this, the goddess will not let you go! "
Brando glanced at her and said, "Your goddess left here an era ago."
"But …"
Andrique opened her mouth, and her bright lips squirmed, but she could not say anything. She wanted to refute this treacherous person, but she could not produce any strong evidence.
At this time, another earth-shattering roar came from the darkness in the distance. It was the sound of a building collapsing. Everyone could not help but look in that direction, and saw that the west side of Eliudenir's divine kingdom in the darkness had suddenly collapsed, and about a third of the area had completely disappeared.
"Looks like Kleis has no time to trouble us for the time being." Brando looked in that direction and said.
Andrique's face was full of shock and anger.
Tia's mouth was wide open. "The Goddess is really angry!" Before she could finish her sentence, a gigantic head suddenly emerged from behind the cloud of dust.
The head was almost as tall as a three-story building. Its long ears stood up high, and its two glowing eyes were like two full moons. When it noticed Brando and the others, it opened its mouth and revealed two rows of snow-white fangs.
It was obviously a canine, or rather, a hound from hell. If it was a descendant of Garm, it was obviously many times bigger than the descendant of Garm. The hound shook its head to shake off the dust and pebbles on its body. From a distance of a few miles, some pebbles could be seen flying towards it and landing on the stairs.
Then the huge hound gradually stretched its body and slowly stood up.
It was like a moving mountain.
The Shire could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.
"That's Garm's original body, the Doomsday Hound." Metisha added softly.
"That's a mythical hound. Are we its match?" The Shire asked.
Brando shook his head. Garm's strength was probably on par with Solomon. With the support of the Law of Tiamat, he really did not care about this thing. But it was still an existence close to a god. They did not have so much time to waste on this thing.
"Mephistopheles, you are an undead. You should be more familiar with the Land of Eternal Rest than we are. Take the others to the sanctuary of the goddess. I don't believe it can even enter the Relics of the Saint." He said.
"The sanctuary of … Lady Kleis?" Mephistopheles had never heard such treacherous words in his life. He subconsciously looked at his sister. "But …"
"Take him there." Andrea, on the other hand, had already calmed down. She glanced at Brendel and replied in a huff, "If the Goddess was there, she would have killed this treacherous bastard with one slash."
"Your goddess may not be my match now." Brando was still in the mood to joke.
The vampire lady was so angry that her teeth were chattering.
Mephistopheles could only nod helplessly.
At this time, Garm had completely awakened. The light in its eyes became brighter. It straightened up and jumped lightly to a place very close to them. A temple building collapsed under the hound's stomp. It looked down at Brando and the others in the smoke and dust.
Brando felt the ground shaking. He put Tia down and looked up at the behemoth. "You guys go first. I'll hold this thing back."
"My lord?" Tia's eyes were red.
"Don't make it sound like it's a parting of life and death." Brando rolled his eyes. "This thing is no match for me. You guys save me some time."
It was only then that everyone understood. Brendel had Ropar stay behind to fight with him, while the others dispersed into the Holy Temple. But Garm obviously did not intend to let anyone go. When it saw the Mephistopheles moving, it immediately pounced in that direction.
"You're courting death!" Brando did not expect this thing to ignore him. This stupid dog's brain did not seem to be enough. He raised Oderfeiss and attacked with Flash Strike Sword Art.
A dazzling golden line flashed in the darkness. Garm was alerted and stopped in its tracks. The golden line cut less than ten feet in front of its claw, and with a dull rumble, the entire Holy Temple seemed to sink down half an inch along the thin line.
It was only then that Garm turned around, his eyes glinting coldly at Brendel.
Brando did not talk nonsense with it. His body flashed three times in a row, and the holy sword in his hand pointed straight at Garm's head. The Doomsday Hound howled and also swung its claw at Brando. The sword and the claw clashed in mid-air, creating sparks.
Brando was stunned. He did not believe it and slashed three more times. The same three golden lines swept past and sparks flew.
"How hard is this thing?" This thought flashed through Brando's mind. He had already reached the limit of his strength, and the Golden Flame Holy Sword in his hand was supported by the Law of Space. Yet, the sword only created sparks on the dog's claw?
At this moment, Brendel finally had a firsthand understanding of the Bronze Tribe's strength.
But it did not matter. If the sword was not enough, there was still the fist. Brando put away his sword and punched directly on the soft flesh of Garm's claw. At that moment, the Line of Law behind him flashed and disappeared. Garm screamed, and the flesh on its palm burst open.
This was the so-called "big also has a big disadvantage." Although this stupid dog's claw was very hard, not every part of its claw was horny.
But even under such circumstances, Garm could still launch a counterattack. With a backhand claw, it swept Brando heavily. The latter flew out like a cannonball and fell into the group of temples in the distance.
However, this attack did not make Garm feel better. Instead, it made it even more furious. This was because when it retracted its claw, it found that a part of its hard mane had been burnt, and golden flames were almost seeping out of its claw.
In the ruins, Brendel flipped over and stood up. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. The golden patterns on his body burned fiercely and spread all over his body. This was the Golden Flame Holy Blood of the Templar Knight, the Crown of Thorns. With his defense and recovery ability, Garm's claw had injured him at least ten times more.
In other words, if he wanted to, even if he stood here and let Garm attack, he would definitely not be the first to die.
But Brendel did not have the time for that. He looked at the furious Garm, shrugged, and walked towards the top of the Holy Cathedral. Garm's claw had helped him a lot. At least, he did not have to run away.
As soon as he turned around, Garm let out an angry roar and pounced on him again. Brando had expected that this stupid dog would not give up. He did not even bother to look back and only shouted, "Ropar!"
"Here." The Fireclaw Lizardman Lord replied.
A golden flame suddenly broke out of the dense fog and hit Garm's head.
Compensation — Instant spell. Calculate all damage received in this turn and deal the same amount of damage to the target creature. If the player has any Wrath Counters, move all Wrath Counters. Every time a Wrath Counter is removed in this way, the same amount of mana cost will be deducted from this card.
With an earth-shattering shriek, the pitiful doomsday hound tumbled back once again. This time, the injury had hurt its tendons and bones, and it could not stand up again for a long time.
Ropar expressionlessly extended his hand to Brando. Brando looked up and grinned, firmly grabbing his hand. The Fire Claw Lizardman Lord pulled Brendel up the steps of the Holy Temple. The two of them looked down at the smoke and dust below, then turned around and walked back, side by side into the center of the Kingdom of Elyudenir.
In front of them was Kleis's living place, the Sanctuary of the Dead Moon.
The others were waiting for the two of them on the platform above the steps. Tia looked down with some doubt and asked, "That big guy won't come after us again?"
Brando looked at the two scythe-wielding statues of the Grim Reaper outside the Sanctuary of the Dead Moon and replied, "It can try, but I don't think it has the guts." Sure enough, when Tia looked down at the group of temples below, Garm wandered angrily in the ruins for a while, but in the end did not dare to chase after them.
Obviously, this thing had suffered here before.
"Look at the beacon, Tia." Brando reminded her.
Tia hurriedly took out the ball of light from her sleeve, only to find that a straight ray of light pointed straight into the depths of the temple. Brando was slightly startled. He did not expect that he would hit the jackpot, and the direction of the beacon was actually in the Dead Moon Sanctuary.
But he was a little puzzled. Why would the Seat of Destiny be in this place? It did not seem safe here, not to mention that the Goddess of the Dead Moon, Kleis, had already become a puppet of Dusk.
He stopped, only to find that the little female dragon beside him also stopped and looked into the temple. The two of them looked back at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
"What did you think?" Aloz asked softly.
"What about you?"
"It's the same question as before. Why would the Bronze Clan appear in this place?" The little female dragon's golden eyes flashed with doubt. "Did they come here before or after Kleis left her divine kingdom? Did the gods really annihilate them?"
"There is a very important question." She thought for a moment and added, "Don't you think it's strange? The time of the gods' death is actually very close to the extinction of the Bronze Clan, around the time of the Battle of Azure."
"I didn't think that much." Brando replied. "I just feel a little strange. I feel like I'm very familiar with this place. No, not familiar with the divine kingdom of Eleusinir, but there are some hidden things here that make me feel familiar."
"Have you been here before?" Aloz asked.
Brando slowly shook his head.
The group had already walked past the two of them into the temple, but suddenly, The Shire in front of them stopped. He turned back and shouted, "My Lord, take a look at this one last time."
Brando walked over and followed The Shire's gaze.
In the middle of the dark hall, a perfect woman sat on the throne. Her long black hair hung from the back of her head all the way to the shiny obsidian, like a waterfall. Her figure was tall, like a peerless sculpture. A long, reptilian tail extended from under her robe, lazily curled on the ground. But the layers of black silk robe did not add any color to this goddess, because any mortal attire would hinder her majesty.
When people saw her, all they could see was her pair of starry eyes.
