Like a sword.
Like a knife.
The gaze that contained the Devil, Cardinal Sins, Dawn, Plague, and Saint Thorn Origin Forces felt like it was going to pierce through the space.
It was gone in a flash.
However, the strange energy that used Harkend's body to stare at Kieran felt like a calamity had befallen it.
Bang!
Harkend's body exploded from the inside out.
Not even his bones were left behind.
More chain reactions were just beginning to appear.
…
Under the gloomy sky, the concrete stairs were spiraling like a bridge over the gloomy sky.
A figure in a black robe was holding a crystal ball and walking slowly on top of the stairs.
The black robe was dim and gloomy, the figure's hands were dry and black.
Only the crystal ball was emitting a faint radiance. However, this radiance didn't give off any sense of brightness. Instead, it made the surroundings even dimmer and dimmer.
It was as if the crystal ball was sucking the light around it.
Kakrooom!
The river below the bridge rumbled as if a giant wave was crashing on the rocks, but the rumbling couldn't cover the heavy and powerful footsteps.
Kak, Kak Kak!
Every time the metal boots came into contact with the stairs, a metallic sound could be heard.
A knight clad in black armor whose face was completely concealed by the visor appeared in the vision of the figure in the robe. When the figure in the robe saw the black-armored knight, he couldn't help but come to a halt.
"Greetings, Sir Sphendix."
The figure in the long robe greeted the black-armored knight respectfully and politely.
"Luther is playing his little game again."
"Which unlucky guy has caught his eye?"
The black armored Knight couldn't hold back his smile when he saw the crystal ball in the waiter's hand.
"It's a newly risen Extraordinary individual in Alkender City."
The waiter didn't hide anything from the person before him, answering honestly.
"A newly risen Extraordinary individual?
Who is it? "
The black armored Knight who had been exploring the Inner World for a long time obviously didn't know what was going on outside, hence the curious question.
"A Transcendent known as the Glutton Emperor," Kieran said.
The waiter replied.
"Emperor?
"This is truly a declining era. Everyone dares to call themselves kings now."
The black armored Knight immediately sneered.
Facing the sneer, the waiter didn't explain further to Kieran. He knew his identity very well, so he knew what kind of attitude he should take when facing the black-armored Knight.
Explain?
There was no need for that.
Even if it was a fact that Kieran was extremely powerful, it would still be the same.
Unless he wanted to be thrown down.
The water of the Gloom River was not only cold, it was also deadly. He did not want to die a horrible death.
"I'm sure Luther wouldn't mind me watching, right?"
Said the black-armored Knight as he strode forward.
The attendant didn't dare to object either.
Following behind the Black Armored Knight, the attendant walked briskly.
After passing through the stairs that spanned across the dark river, the two of them entered a huge building made entirely of stone.
The building was like a tall tower, standing straight under the gloomy sky like a black greatsword stabbed into the ground, emanating all sorts of ominous aura.
Translucent ghosts shuttled back and forth around the tower.
They were being tortured.
They were wailing.
They were roaring.
They were crying.
However, none of them dared to get close to the black tower.
Unless …
They had lost their sanity due to the torture.
"Aaaargh!"
Amidst the sharp wails, a soul dashed towards the black tower in a frenzy.
However, before it could touch the black tower, the darkness on the tower seemed to come alive. It gathered and gathered rapidly like a blooming man-eating flower, swallowing the soul.
The black-armored Knight and the attendant saw the scene.
Both of them were unmoved.
They were used to it.
"Tell the tower guards that the black tower needs more fresh souls."
The black-armored Knight told the gatekeeper as he went through the black tower gate.
"Yes, Sir Sphendix."
The gatekeeper bowed.
The black-armored Knight and the attendant went through the gate as well.
The corridors inside the black tower were narrow, dense, and crisscrossed, like a spider web. Doors were placed on both sides of the corridor.
Behind the heavy wooden doors, most of the rooms were silent.
A small portion of the rooms were filled with whips, sticks, and even cannons.
What followed was a series of agonizing screams.
The black-armored Knight couldn't hold back his laughter when he heard the screams.
"As expected, this place is the best.
You can't hear such sounds in the Inner World.
"What's there is only …"
Before he could finish, the black-armored Knight covered his words with his laughter again.
It seemed like it was a secret.
The attendant behind the black-armored Knight lowered his head even more.
Secrets would always arouse curiosity.
But inside the black tower, curiosity was fatal.
Secrets?
They were the root of all calamities.
If one wanted to live in the black tower for a long time, one had to ensure that one had no curiosity, speak less, watch less, ask less, and do more.
Soon, the narrow corridor was filled with the faint agonizing screams and footsteps behind the door.
After going around seven corners, the black-armored Knight and the attendant went down.
In the end, they stood in front of a door.
The door wasn't closed, allowing one to clearly see the decorations inside the hall.
It was a round hall with mystical mystical runes carved all over the floor.
A giant snake as thick as a water bucket was hanging from the ceiling.
The snake wasn't dead.
The snake kept flicking its tongue in and out.
The cold glare in the snake's eyes made the attendant behind the black-armored Knight shiver non-stop.
"My lord!"
The attendant knelt down on both knees, raising the crystal ball above his head and calling out loudly.
Ssss!
The giant snake hissed and opened its mouth.
A figure covered in slime slid out from the snake's mouth and stood firmly on the floor. The slime splattered everywhere, filling the air with a fishy stench.
The black-armored Knight didn't mind the fishy stench at all. Instead, his eyes behind the visor were wide open.
He was anticipating something.
Amidst his anticipation, the giant snake that was hanging from the ceiling suddenly jumped down and swallowed the attendant whole.
It wasn't like a common snake swallowing.
This snake knew how to chew.
Puk!
The attendant in the snake's mouth was like a smashed watermelon, breaking into pieces. Blood and minced meat fell from the sky.
A while later, the whole floor was covered in blood.
The crystal ball that was covered in blood floated in front of the figure covered in mucus.
The moment his finger touched the crystal ball …
The blood on the crystal ball and the pieces of meat on the floor instantly turned into a red mist.
The black-armored Knight, who had been waiting for a long time, took a deep breath eagerly.
"This is really intoxicating."
The black-armored Knight praised.
If it wasn't for this mouthful of purified flesh and blood essence, why would he say another word to a lowly servant?
Of course, he didn't come here just for a mouthful of the meat essence.
He had more important things to attend to.
"You can leave now."
The man covered in mucus said coldly.
"Luther, don't you think you are getting colder and colder?
"We used to have a very good relationship."
Although I might have lied to you because of some matters, I think we can still return to the past. Remember the Bone Flower I gave you? "
The black-armored knight stood where he was without moving, his voice carrying a hint of apology.
"Of course I remember.
I still remember when you stabbed a dagger into my lungs, the stinging pain in the cold.
"Every time I breathe, it hurts."
"How could I forget?"
The man covered in mucus said slowly.
"If you didn't want to dig my heart out, why would I stab you with a dagger?
"So, we're even."
"And now, I've made a discovery in the Inner Realm."
After much thought, I think only you can help me. "
The black-armored Knight said with a smile.
"What did you find?"
The slime man asked.
"Mordin's legacy."
The black-armored knight spoke bluntly, but the man covered in mucus only sneered.
"Mordin's legacy?
Every year, there are people who claim to have found Mordin's legacy in the Inner World.
But in the end?
Each time, it's a trap with malicious intentions. "
The slime man's words had an extra sense of disdain.
"I swear on the name of Calamity!
I don't have any lies or malicious intentions! "
The black-armored Knight swore.
No doubt such a vow was very effective against the slime man.
The slime man's breath stagnated, the flowing slime on his body stopped for a moment.
Three to four seconds later, he spoke again.
"Are you sure?
I am sure!
Maybe I am not as knowledgeable as you but I am very familiar with that Mordin, to the point that even with a single glance, I won't make a mistake! "
The black-armored Knight said in an affirmative tone.
The slime man stared at the black-armored Knight and eventually nodded.
"Very well.
I will go and confirm your familiarity with Mordin with my own eyes.
But before that, I have a small matter to complete. "
The man said.
"The newly risen Extraordinary individual in Alkender City?
You don't mind if I watch right?
It's been a while since I saw you make a move on these Last Descendants. "
The black-armored Knight asked with a smile.
The slime man didn't answer, instead chanting a spell softly.
It seemed like the black-armored Knight's discovery in the Inner World made the slime man a little more tolerant.
The man didn't mind watching, neither did he mind spying.
After all, such power wasn't something that could be learned by spying.
The eyes behind the visor stared at the man covered in mucus.
The hand gestures and incantations were memorized by the black Knight without missing a single detail.
Although a large part of his power was because of his bloodline, there was something else that he cared about more.
As for the blurry scene on the crystal ball?
The black-armored Knight didn't care at all.
He was certain the slime man would end up like the others he targeted before, dying a violent death.
Ssssss!
Above his head, the giant snake that was hanging started to hiss and slither away.
If it wasn't for the fact that its skin was pulled off, it would look like it was hanging on the ceiling.
"Harkend!
Harkend! "
The slime man shouted and the blurry scene on the crystal ball became clearer. It was the sky, the sky of Alkender City.
Following that, the man covered in mucus let out another loud cry.
Following the shout, the scene on the crystal ball started to change and eventually locked on to a black figure.
"Hehehe, found you.
A High Devil's Blood Descendant!
One of the ingredients I've been looking forward to the most. I wonder if your heart has the smell of sulfur! "
A gloomy laugh came from the slime man's mouth.
He raised his hand that was covered in mucus and pointed at the black figure in the crystal ball.
Wung!
A formless ripple spread into the crystal ball in a special way.
Right at that moment, the black figure opened his eyes.
The gaze that contained the auras of the five Origin Forces of Demon, Original Sin, Light of Dawn, Plague, and Saint Thorn appeared in the crystal ball. The ripples that had just spread into the crystal ball stagnated for a moment before they were instantly shattered.
Bang!
The crystal ball exploded!
On top of that!
The shockwave continued to spread towards the slime man!
"No!"
The slime man cried out in shock.
He wanted to dodge the attack.
But he couldn't.
All he could do was try his best to turn the disgusting slime into a shield in front of his body.
At the same time, a dim light enveloped the man's body.
The heat and wickedness acted as the vanguard, destroying the shield like a rotten twig.
The plague was like a swarm of locusts, corroding the dim light.
Pak!
A clear noise later, the dim light was shattered.
Then, the blade known as Saint Thorn slashed the man's body.
Puk!
The mucus dissipated, revealing a mummified body. He lowered his head to look at the crack that had appeared on his body, and he staggered backward.
Bam!
The moment he fell to the ground, his body was split in half.
The mutated organs spilled all over the floor with a vile stench.
The giant snake that was wriggling on the ceiling exploded the moment the organs spilled out.
Kaboom!
Blood and flesh splashed in the air, dyeing the whole round hall red.
The black armored Knight, who retreated out of the round hall in a panic when his comrade shouted "No!", was looking at the scene before his eyes in shock and doubt.
Even with the visor, the black armored Knight couldn't hide the panic on his face.
He hadn't expected such a scene at all.
"Damn it! My plan!"
The black armored Knight shouted in a hoarse voice.
If it was possible, he really wanted to chop the black figure in the crystal ball into pieces, but whenever he thought about the terrifying gaze, the black armored Knight shivered.
"Thank god, thank god I'm in Printon!"
The black armored Knight was extremely grateful.
However, at the next moment, a chill rose from his back and rushed to his head.
The black-armored knight looked around in bewilderment.
He didn't find anything.
It terrified the black armored Knight even more.
Because his intuition had never been wrong!
Without a second thought, the black armored Knight who just returned from the Inner World dashed towards the Inner World again.
That person would come here!
Printon wasn't safe anymore!
Run!
Run!
The frightened black armored Knight hastened his steps.
Thus, everyone in the Black Tower saw the scene of the black-armored knight fleeing in panic, as if there was some great terror behind him.
No one asked what was going on.
This was the black tower.
No!
It was the rule of Printon!
Even if one knew what was going on, one had to learn how to deal with one's own matters and not ask others.
Moreover, even if one asked …
The black armored Knight wouldn't say anything.
He needed someone to stop that terrifying existence for him.
