Darkness.
Endless darkness!
There seemed to be thick and turbid breathing in the darkness, as well as a dull and frantic heartbeat. To make matters worse, he seemed to have completely lost his sense of hearing and vision. He was completely filled by the crazy darkness!
When Aragorn entered the Source of Darkness hall, he immediately felt the serious consequences of losing his five senses. His heart sank.
But Aragorn was a veteran of many battles. After he came of age, he had travelled all over Middle Earth for at least ten years. After that, he hid his identity and joined the Gondor army, quickly becoming the famous general "Eagle of the Stars". He wiped out the pirates of Umba, and then became the leader of the Rangers of the Wastelands, Strider!
During the battle of Weathertop, Aragorn fought against five Ringwraiths by himself. The power of the Ringwraiths came from the darkness and fear in the hearts of their enemies. This showed how strong Aragorn's strength and mental fortitude were!
Aragorn immediately took a deep breath and gripped his sacred sword Andúril tightly. More importantly, Aragorn's equipment was extremely luxurious. The accessory hanging from his waist emitted a faint white glow that dispelled the darkness around him.
The emerald embedded in the silver eagle-shaped base was also a piece of equipment. It was the Elven Gem given to him by the Queen of Light of the Forest Valley. It was called the Elessar. Anything belonging to the Queen of Light was naturally the natural enemy of darkness.
In addition, the Nightstar necklace around Aragorn's neck was the soul artifact of his lover, Irwin. The double-headed snake ring on his finger had an ancient feel to it. It was a treasure passed down for tens of thousands of years, a treasure of legendary equipment. The Ring of Barahir was the symbol of the inheritance of the Númenorean royal family! In the darkness, even if Aragorn did not use its power, he could still faintly hear the dignified reprimands of the Númenorean Emperors!
'Coping with all changes by sticking to the status quo' was Aragorn's response. He took a few steps back and pressed his back against the wall, his sword held horizontally across his chest.
He believed that the enemy would not be able to trap him here for long. This was their final counterattack. As soon as he escaped, it would be their end!
Unlike the calmness that Aragorn felt, when Sauron's consciousness sensed Aragorn being thrown into the depths of the Source of Darkness hall and set up such a deadly trap, Sauron's consciousness immediately became violent and intense.
The darkness in the Source of Darkness hall was not the only thing that was wildly overflowing. The darkness covered an area of forty to fifty meters around the hall like a black fog so thick that one could not even see their own fingers. Even in Mordor, thousands of miles away, where Sauron's Demonic Eye of Flame was located, flames were raging. Mount Doom was spewing out thick black smoke. The Demonic Eye of Flame's gaze could see as far as tens of kilometers away. Wherever it looked, not even a blade of grass could grow. The earth was scorched and dried up.
At the same time, Sauron's roar echoed in the minds of all the surviving dark side contestants.
Kill him! Kill him! Sacrifice the flesh and soul of the only surviving member of the Númenorean royal family to me! I forgive all your sins!
[Description: Aragorn has been cursed by Sauron in the Source of Darkness hall. Once killed by a contestant, an astonishing drop rate will appear.]
It was no wonder that Sauron reacted so violently when he found out that he had a chance to kill Aragorn. In the Battle of Balador Fortress in the Third Age, Sauron had a great chance of successfully conquering Middle-earth.
Like Lü Bu, he first killed the Supreme King of the Noldor Elves, Gilgalad. Then, he easily crushed the strongest human warrior, Elendil. But just as he was about to ascend to the peak of his life, Elendil's son, Isildur, went berserk and cut off Sauron's finger with the broken blade of the sacred sword Nathir, causing Sauron to lose the One Ring. Sauron was ruthlessly pulled down just as he was about to reach his ultimate goal. It was a humiliating defeat!
The legendary sword in Aragorn's hand, Andúril, was reforged from the broken blade of the sacred sword Nathir! And Aragorn was a direct descendant of Isildur! As the saying goes, when you see something, you think of someone else. Aragorn had given Sauron a double shock!
Of course, in addition to old hatred, Aragorn had also led the Army of the Dead to crush the Orc army and the Southern Haradrim's War Elephant army. This was a new enmity. How could Sauron not be enraged by the combination of old and new hatred?!
***
Sheyan's' Hornrage 'came to a halt halfway through. Although time was precious, he still stopped in his tracks.
Because he heard a prompt in his ear. [Aragorn has been cursed by Sauron in the Source of Darkness hall. Once killed by a contestant, an astonishing drop rate will appear.]
Sheyan could not see into the future, but he believed in two things.
The first was that the human heart was very greedy. The second was that Aragorn was definitely not someone who could be killed so easily!
Therefore, Sheyan stopped. At the same time, he didn't forget to apply medicine to his teammates who were protected by the magma of Mount Doom. Furthermore, he received good news from the reduction of the dark gold leech's HP. He still had at least 30 seconds to kill Aragorn without being disturbed.
At the same time, a dazzling white light shone and fiercely tore through the darkness, followed by a series of screams. A few drops of warm liquid splashed in the darkness and hit Sheyan's face, causing him to feel a faint pain.
Party Ace was not the only party in the Source of Darkness hall right now, but also Skull's people. They should have mostly recovered under the effect of the magma, so some of them would definitely not be able to resist the urge to attack first.
But who was Aragorn? Now that he knew he had fallen into an ambush, he would definitely go all out. Once he did, it would be an extremely fierce counterattack! That was why Sheyan wanted to slow down. He wanted to let those greedy guys absorb Aragorn's counterattack while he got a chance to catch his breath.
After the screams subsided, Sheyan slowly walked towards Aragorn. He looked calm, determined and not impatient at all. At the same time, the G-spot on his right hand continued to dissolve, transforming from a glove into that terrifying weapon – Evil Sword Apophis!
"Do you know why I'm not in a hurry at all? Aragorn? " Sheyan spoke slowly as he walked. The darkness of the Source of Darkness hall did not affect him at all, so he could clearly see the tragic scene around Aragorn. Two contestants had been chopped into seventeen or eighteen pieces. Their flesh and blood were splattered everywhere!
The accessory on Aragorn's waist emitted a soft white light that enveloped him like a white eggshell. That was the power of the Queen of Light of the Forest Valley protecting him from being eroded by the darkness. Although Aragorn could only see about half a meter ahead of him, it was better than nothing.
Aragorn did not want to answer Sheyan's question at first, but he immediately realised what he had to say. As the King of Gondor, how could he not even dare to respond to the words of his enemy? Besides, his best friend was right beside him, and there were tens of thousands of soldiers outside!
"You probably know that no matter what you do, you can never escape the judgment of justice and light, believer of darkness," said Aragorn flatly.
"No," replied Sheyan seriously. "That's because I've been planning this trap for eighteen days and twenty-one hours. The remaining time is more than enough to kill you."
Aragorn said flatly.
"There are more than ten people who have dared to speak like that in front of me, but they all ended up the same way. Their heads were all chopped off and hung on trees to warn everyone that this is the fate of those who betray me."
Sheyan chuckled and replied.
"When you went to seize control of the Army of the Dead, you were already intercepted by our people. Your strength began to decline from your peak at that time, right? It may not be much, but it's at least a tenth of a percent. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been intercepted for nearly ten hours."
"After that, you led the Army of the Dead to fight against the Haradrim and Orc armies, and your strength dropped by at least another twenty percent, right? And that's only the lightest of losses. Although it was a smooth battle, the tenacity of the dark warriors won't disappear so easily. "
"After the battle, you rested briefly and recovered about eighty percent of your strength, but the three consecutive attacks on the Source of Darkness hall must have taken a great toll on you. I know the strength of my party members very well. It's not an exaggeration to say that they consumed thirty percent of your strength."
"So, what I have to face now is only half of your strength, Aragorn. More importantly!! Aragorn, I know that your greatest reliance is your destiny as the King!! In front of me, you're nothing more than a powerful Durneidan!! "
As soon as he finished speaking, Sheyan's momentum had already accumulated to the peak as he charged towards Aragon with unparalleled ferocity! He was also holding his sword with both hands. His momentum was unstoppable! Aragorn roared when he saw the seemingly ordinary weapon in Sheyan's hand. He knew that if he retreated, he would not only lose the geographical advantage, but also his confidence.
Neither side dodged the first attack. Sheyan's sword landed on Aragorn's shoulder, while the legendary sword 'Andúril' pierced through Sheyan's left leg! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
