The intimidating yet evil figure looked a little familiar.
Mofan vaguely remembered the battle at the mirage in Egypt. There was a powerful Ruler-level creature that stood above all the Mages and undead. It was holding a dark greatsword and riding a dark wildebeest. It was cold and cruel!
"A Dark Swordmaster!" Mofan was astounded.
The Dark Swordmaster was not holding a greatsword. Its greatsword was tied to its waist, but it left a trail of black frost behind it as the wildebeest ran.
The black wildebeest it rode was not an ordinary wildebeest. It was armed from its face to its tail. Every inch of its body was covered with a layer of frost. Even its iron hooves had a strong power of dark frost. All the ashes it stepped on were condensed with a layer of frost.
It was obvious that the Dark Swordmaster was stronger and had a higher status. As the God of Darkness's loyal guard, the Dark Swordmasters had a high status in the Dark Plane.
Both the Dark Swordmasters that had shown up in Egypt and the Dark Swordmasters in the Great Pyramid of Giza were only between Ruler-level and Ruler-level creatures. However, the Dark Swordmasters in the Dark Plane were a lot stronger than in the other plane. Besides, the Dark Swordmasters had different levels, too!
Mofan did not dare to underestimate the Dark Swordmaster. After all, he did not have any demon energy, and he was still a little tired. The Dark Plane was indeed not a friendly place to stumble into such a powerful creature as soon as they arrived at their new territory.
"What are you doing!?" Asha 'ria asked when she saw Mofan's murderous aura.
"I'm going to beat it up, I can't let it hurt you," Mofan said.
Asha 'ria was amused and annoyed at the same time. She was quite charming. Her demeanor was more charming than most Eastern women. She was not trying to hide her emotions.
"It's my bodyguard, don't you remember?" Asha 'ruiya blinked.
"Your guard?" Mofan was confused.
Sure enough, the Black Frost Swordmaster stopped fifty meters away from the two of them. It solemnly jumped down from the Dark Wildebeest and walked step by step towards Asha'ria.
It arrived before Asha'ria and knelt down on one knee. Then, it plucked off its own head … its head was pinned to its waist. Next, it bowed!
Mofan's jaw almost dropped to the ground.
Are you trying to scare people by taking off your entire head when others take off their helmets?
"Put the head on it," Asha'ria said.
"Yes, my master."
This one? Frost Sword Mistress respectfully placed her head on the helmet, but it was clearly placed in the wrong direction. Her head was facing the back, while her body was facing the front.
Mofan almost laughed out loud.
Evernight Knight!
Mofan remembered. Asha'ria did have a Evernight Knight that she had summoned from the Dark Plane. It was not a Summoning Spell, but an ancient contract that allowed Saintess Asha'ria to have a guardian from the Dark Plane.
Back at the Ancient Capital, the Evernight Knight had displayed his outstanding strength on the way to the villages.
That being said, his rank was not that high back then.
To his surprise, the Evernight Knight had already risen to the level of a Dark Swordmaster. His appearance was still as comical as before.
"Does that mean we have a local guide in the Dark Plane?" Mofan said.
"Mm, Hanmera is more familiar with the place. He should be able to lead us to fewer traps in the Dark Plane. However, we still have to follow the rules of the game set by the God of Darkness," Asha'ria said.
"The rules of the game? What are the rules?" Mofan asked.
"The God of Darkness is an emperor with an eccentric personality. Sometimes, he is generous, like a god from the Heavens. Other times, he is cruel and merciless, like a demon from the Underworld. Most of the time, he is like a naughty child. He will set up some strange rules for the various planes. He will either pay the price with their souls, or grant them some special dark magic," Asha'ria explained.
Hearing Asha'ria's words, Mofan suddenly recalled that he had once fought the God of Darkness, even though it was just a small clone.
Back then, they had gone to Tianshan Mountain to find the Night Amethyst to retrieve Mubai's soul, which was already under the God of Darkness's control. It was said that the Night Amethyst was one of the God of Darkness's favorite gems.
However, did the Night Amethyst have any effect on the God of Darkness? Mofan had his doubts. At the God of Darkness's level, he should not be lacking in such precious stones, no matter how rare they were. However, there was a legend in the Greek classics that the Night Amethyst could be exchanged for a soul from the God of Darkness.
"The Dark Plane is prosperous and huge. Many creatures from other planes will try to borrow its power, including the dark sorcerers among us humans. They sacrifice their hard-earned magic in exchange for dark magic. Furthermore, the Dark Plane is inextricably linked to many other planes. Therefore, living beings can fall into this plane at any time, including living beings like us who have not died and have not lost our souls. These living beings are known as travelers. "
"Originally, the God of Darkness could let these travelers stay here forever, but he always likes to play a game similar to that of the main gods. He gives all travelers who come to the Dark Plane a chance to return to their original world, on the condition that they follow the rules of the game. If you win, you will leave alive without paying any price. If you lose, you will stay here forever. Your flesh belongs to the God of Darkness, and your soul belongs to him. You will not be able to live, but you will have a 'rich and colorful' life in death. "
Asha'ria's understanding of the Dark Plane was deeper than anyone else's.
Greece had researched the Dark Plane thoroughly. The ancient books mentioned it, and they were able to communicate directly with the creatures of the Dark Plane.
The Dark Plane was not just a kingdom in another world.
As a matter of fact, the Dark Plane was probably bigger than the plane humans lived in.
The powerful Dark Magic of humans, including the Curse Element, the Shadow Element, the Undead Element, and the Poison Element, all originated from the God of Darkness.
If the God of Darkness was in a bad mood and closed the sacrificial channel between him and the humans, they would lose the power of four Elements!
The God of Darkness was undoubtedly the strongest existence in the world. So far, humans had yet to find a creature that surpassed him in their research.
"What are the rules of the game? Will all the travelers be included in the game?" Mofan asked.
Far away from the ashes, there were many city dwellers who were on the verge of collapse. Some of them were wearing professional suits, while others were fashionable and beautiful. They had been forcefully dragged into another dimension, and their lives were firmly in the hands of the mysterious King.
"They are travelers too. Of course they have to follow the rules," Asha'ria said.
