The Golden Battle Flag fluttered in the underground hall. The dazzling radiance on the golden flag not only dispelled the surrounding darkness, but also washed away the shadows like the first rays of the morning sun. It even outlined the fine lines of the silver magic formation on the marble floor. Andrea, Ropar, the Pristine Angel, and the Wind Spirit Drake were bathed in the light. They witnessed the Pendulum Golem's last line of defense crumble like a Dark Border disappearing in the light.
But the true victory was not Brando's final attack.
The Pendulum Golem still had the strength to fight. The level 60 to 70 abomination demons still had the upper hand against Ropar and Andrique, who had just awakened their elements. But the Pendulum Golem had already collapsed. It was like a shaky building collapsing with a loud crash.
Bathed in the Holy Light, the Pendulum Golem squinted its eyes. It suddenly felt that the entire world was deviating from its original path. And in this deviation, it fell heavily to the ground.
Brando witnessed this scene.
At that moment, he suddenly understood that the Pendulum Golem could not hold on any longer. It was only relying on its stubbornness to defend its final door. But this stubbornness finally collapsed when it realized that it could not reverse the situation.
The sword-wielding demons burst into flames in front of Brando's army of summons. A blue flame burst out from their bodies, turning them into ashes in the blink of an eye.
Not far away, a golden halo lit up on the ground. Within the halo, Ina and her scattered summons appeared. The terrifying Ancient Abomination Imoku was nowhere to be seen. However, when she turned around, the first thing she saw was the Pendulum Golem on the ground. Her face was filled with emptiness.
When Brendel saw this scene, he knew that she must be feeling terrible.
The Pendulum Golem lay on the ground. The 'ticking, ticking' sound under its cloak became weaker and weaker. It did not say a word, and no one knew what it was thinking. Its spells and summons disappeared with its fall. The traces of its existence were like an illusion, eventually turning into white ashes.
Ina walked over. Her eyes were red as she knelt down beside the Pendulum Golem. "Damned wooden fish head, why are you doing this? I really don't understand you, you idiot!"
"In order to protect my master's rules …" The Pendulum Golem muttered, its metallic voice rising and falling. "Master's every step is necessary. If he cannot defeat me, I will kill him. I can't … let down … such a great sacrifice … Planeswalkers, we … can't afford … to make a mistake. "
The royal sister couldn't help but fall silent.
"Do you have to die before you can acknowledge him? Are you satisfied? You're going to die now, you Pendulum monster! You clearly know that he is the Planeswalker, the first Planeswalker to enter this place in thousands of years, and also the last one. Why would you do something so pointless? You idiot, you idiot, you moron! "The Deer Demoness suddenly cried out as she lay on the Pendulum Golem's body.
"It's precisely because … I'm the last one … that I have to be … even more … cautious. Master … has also left. Then … what … do I … have … to … miss? " The Pendulum Golem's voice seemed to come from its broken body. "Ina, you don't understand. How … I … wish … I … was … a … Planeswalker."
Brando stood silently beside the two. His summoned creatures had already returned to stand behind him. Although he had defeated his opponent, for some reason, Brando didn't feel the slightest bit of joy. This victory was an accident. Brando himself wasn't prepared to accept this victory.
Rather than a victory, it was more like a loss.
However, the Pendulum Golem didn't seem to care about the result. It glanced at Brando, its expression still cold. "I … don't trust you, young man. You don't … know … what … a … real … Planeswalker … is … like. But … I hope … you … won't … disappoint … me. "
It shook its head, let out a final sigh, and then became silent.
For a moment, only the sound of the deer-bodied Banshee crying could be heard in the hall. After crying for a long time, the Banshee finally calmed down. She lowered her head and thought for a while, then turned back to look at Brando. The frivolous expression from before had already faded from her face.
"You must want to know something, right?" She asked.
Brando first shook his head, then nodded. It wasn't that he hadn't seen similar scenes in the game. Wohnde's main storyline was about civilization fighting against fate. The ancestors created history step by step, not through laughter, but through blood and sacrifice. He had seen too many of such heavy storylines.
But after thinking for a long time, he finally asked, "You actually want to save it, right?"
The Banshee didn't speak. After a while, she replied, "I'm sorry, I didn't want to use you."
"I'm not blaming you for that," Brando shook his head. "It's fine."
When the Banshee heard that it was fine, she suddenly felt a little warm in her heart. She looked at this human again, and felt that her feelings were understood. This made her feel a little better. But her companion who had accompanied her by the river of time was now lying beside her, no longer having thoughts. Once, when she saw this old-fashioned face, she remembered the time when she was still adventuring with her master. It was so clear that it was like yesterday. But now, this last nostalgia was gone.
The Banshee couldn't help but fall silent again, as if she was choked with sobs.
After a long time, she said with some difficulty, "I've made a fool of myself in front of you … little one."
"Now, can you tell me what happened here?" Brando nodded, then asked, "This tomb, this underground hall, and the magic circle on the ground, and you, your master is the Planeswalker Kelsie, right?"
Helene nodded.
"The Pendulum monster and I are master's summoned creatures. We were once Cards of Fate. Master brought us to travel through several worlds, starting from a place called Donder Kash, the Kingdom of Hiarza. The Pendulum monster was master's first creature card. It followed master much earlier than me, but I was master's most capable assistant. Because when it comes to planning, I was much better than that wooden fish head. "The Banshee seemed to be reminiscing about the past, and couldn't help but smile proudly as she said this.
"Traveling wasn't always the same. We experienced many interesting things. There were battles, love, and friendship. But as master traveled from one world to another, time passed, and master became older. Traveling was no longer as simple as it was at the beginning. Our opponents also became stronger and stronger. Master seemed to be searching for something. But both of us didn't know what it was. "
"It knew more than me. Master seemed to be fighting against a powerful existence. In the end, we came to this place, Wohnde. After an earth-shattering battle here, master stayed here. From then on, they worked on the magic circle below us. It took a total of ten years before it was finally completed. The tomb outside was just a cover to hide the work below. The owner of the tomb was a noble. I remember that he was a very interesting young man. But after a few decades, he died of an illness and was buried in this tomb. "
Brando listened attentively. He knew that Wohnde was just a general name for the world in which the game was set. But in fact, The Amber Sword's worldview was beyond imagination. Although since the beginning of the second era, people had always known that there were other worlds behind the fog behind the Dark Forest. Those were worlds that were as big as Wohnde and were guarded by Martha. But other than Planeswalkers, no one could travel between these worlds.
So legends were just legends.
"And then?"
"Then master chose to hibernate here. Master did not die because his lifespan ran out. In fact, a Planeswalker's lifespan is almost endless. Because he was too injured, he had to choose this place as his final resting place. Before he could rest, master gave me and the Pendulum monster life, allowing us to become physical beings with a part of his power. But after all, we were not real Planeswalkers. "
"Master's final task was to guard this underground hall and not let any mortals enter. Until one day, someone with his power appeared. And this person, "Ina raised her head and looked at Brando," is you. "
"Me?" Brando thought that it could not be so coincidental. The so-called quests in The Amber Sword all required certain conditions to trigger. Especially the player's experience. For example, if a player from Madara went to find Amandina with a letter from her father, even if they found her, she might not necessarily follow Madara's side.
Because of the NPCs themselves and some other factors, they were selective in how they carried out the quests.
But he felt that perhaps this was not a coincidence. If it was not for the Cards of Fate, he would not have come here. And if he was not a Planeswalker, he would not have any interest in the Cards of Fate. So there was fate in the world, and some coincidences were not really coincidences in the long run.
"So then, what is the purpose of this hall?"
"We don't know exactly what it is used for. But master was very cautious about it. I only know that in order to build this hall, other than master, there were two other powerful beings who sacrificed their lives. "Ina thought carefully and replied.
"Two powerful beings, were they Planeswalkers?"
"No," Ina shook her head, "But I have seen one of them. She was very powerful, not inferior to my master."
Brando sucked in a breath of cold air. An existence that was as powerful as a Planeswalker, what kind of concept was that? If Kelsie could summon the projection of Imoku, the Eternal Trauma, his strength would have far surpassed any of the powerful beings that Brando had seen in his two lives. And from the Darkness Dragon's tyranny to the War of the Holy Saints until now, Brando could not think of any legendary existence that had such a level of strength.
Unless it was the Darkness Dragon himself, but the Darkness Dragon was not a woman.
Taking ten thousand steps back, what was the point of sacrificing three existences of Kelsie's level to construct a hall like this? Brando did not think that it was just to leave behind the inheritance of the Paradise of Adversity. There must be some secret hidden below. But looking at Ina's expression, it did not seem like she was lying to him. Maybe they really did not know what was below.
"Can you remember when you came to Wohnde, which era was it?" Brando thought for a while and asked again.
Ina thought carefully for a while. This period of history was quite old for her, and it was not easy to remember.
"Well, I don't know if their method of counting back then was the same as the one you are familiar with now. When we came to this world with Master, according to the local method of counting, it should be the year 540 Orcas."
Brando was stunned. The people of Cruz began to count the years with the method of counting, which was already a distant history. It was said that when the Azure Knight shattered the sky and brought about the second era, this new method of counting the years began to spread. The person who created this method was said to be the most outstanding sage of the Miirna people, Tuman. At the same time, Brando now knew that he was also a Planeswalker. But this theory was not very tenable, because according to the research of scholars, the new method of counting the years was recorded much later, and could only be traced back to the era of the War of the Holy Saints.
But no matter which one it was, he had never heard of a method of counting the years like 'Orcas 540'.
"Well, I admit that I have never heard of such a method of counting the years." Brando sighed and shrugged. He thought for a while and said, "Then in the history of that time, are there any famous people you know?"
"The woman who came here with Master is one of them, but I don't recognize her name. There was another person at that time, and you should know this person. He was also a Planeswalker like Master, but much more powerful than Master. Little guy, you have inherited this person's legacy. "
"Tuman!" Brando almost jumped up. "Tuman! Martha above, when you came to Wohnde, it was the era when Tuman was still alive? How many years ago was that? It should be about three to four thousand years ago. Wait, wait … "
"If I remember correctly, the Darkness Dragon Odin wasn't dead at that time, right?" Brendel pressed his forehead with one hand and felt a slight pain in his temples, "If I remember correctly, the Darkness Dragon Odin wasn't dead yet …"
"Odin."
Ina looked at him and said, "I have heard of this name."
… …
