In front of the ruined town.
Gu Qing Shan and Crow were talking.
Suddenly, their ID cards vibrated at the same time.
[Attention please]
[The situation is urgent, requesting 'Curt Death Silver Crow' and 'Dragon King of Atrocity Jail' to head to the nearest Blue Mountain city to help stop the Apocalypse's invasion]
Gu Qing Shan and Crow exchanged glances.
Crow drew his rapier and said: "This town, I'll do a decontamination"
Sparks of flame drifted around the rapier, then gathered at the tip of the rapier as Crow lightly tapped it, turning into a flaming bird that flew forward.
The flaming bird landed in the middle of the town like a meteor, then vanished without a trace.
A moment of silence.
Boom — — — —
With an intense explosion, a pillar of flame that enveloped the entire town reached all the way to the sky.
Intense winds blew in every direction, snapping many large trees in the process.
Gu Qing Shan used her hand to shield herself, ignoring the intense wind that blew against her body as she looked at the intense flames.
"It's useless, I've already done this to a village before, but when the Apocalypse is supposed to appear, it will still appear" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Crow sheathed his rapier and pondered: "If what you're saying is true, then the vanguard team didn't understand this Apocalypse at all — — what a bunch of idiots"
Gu Qing Shan sighed: "This is a bit strange, I've also run into several Apocalypses, but I still don't understand what's going on"
The flames scattered.
The entire town was flattened.
Crow stood in front of the ruins, pondering: "Speaking of which, I haven't run into an Apocalypse since I arrived in this world — — in fact, I've accepted many missions to fight against Apocalypses over the years, it would be great if I could see what's going on"
As soon as he said so.
Countless grains of sand suddenly rose from the ruins of the town, rising into the air.
In an instant.
A storm that swept across the entire area abruptly manifested.
It swung the sand around, obscuring the sky, and directly trapping Gu Qing Shan and Crow in the middle.
The two of them were shocked.
"The Apocalypse you wanted has arrived" Gu Qing Shan said.
"I only said a few words" Crow drew his sword again and observed the sandstorm around him.
Gu Qing Shan also drew the Earth sword from the void of space and prepared for battle.
Two lines of glowing text had already appeared in the void in front of him.
[A newcomer came into contact with this Apocalypse for the first time, thus lowering the difficulty of your fourth destruction]
"The battle is about to begin. Please get ready."
Two figures walked out from the sandstorm.
A spellcaster dressed in a red robe and a warrior wielding a large shield and a spear.
The warrior faced the two of them.
The caster appeared behind the two of them.
"The caster seems quite strong, leave it to me" Crow quickly said.
He turned around and faced the red-robed spellcaster.
"No, it's your first time here, and your first opponent is that Warrior" Gu Qing Shan said.
Crow looked back at the warrior.
The warrior's energy waves were a few times weaker than the red-robed spellcaster's.
"I'll let you practice with this trash, I want to fight against this caster and get a feel of this Apocalypse" Crow said.
Gu Qing Shan had no choice but to point her sword at the warrior.
At this point, the red-robed spellcaster's gaze went past Crow and towards Gu Qing Shan:
"Fiend, your enemy is me"
"Look — — - he wants to fight me" Gu Qing Shan told Crow.
"It's fine, I'll deal with him for you" Crow insisted.
As the two of them were talking, the warrior turned to Crow and said, "Fellow of the Avian tribe, your opponent is me"
It was now that Crow was a bit interested and asked in surprise: "You can tell that I'm a Avian?"
The warrior scoffed: "That's right, Avian, you shall die by my spear"
All was quiet.
"Gu Qing Shan"
"Hm?"
"Let's switch places, I've decided to kill this talkative warrior"
"Very well"
The two of them switched places.
Boundless killing intent exuded from Crow's body.
He pointed his rapier at the warrior and muttered: "Facing me is the same as facing death, are you prepared?"
The warrior didn't say a word and charged towards him.
Crow raised his rapier and lightly swung it.
Boom!
With a resounding explosion, the warrior, along with the shield and spear in front of him, exploded into a sky-high pillar of flames.
"Trash, you dared to speak so rudely to me, you'll die a quick death" Crow scoffed. …
On the other side.
Gu Qing Shan faced the red-robed spellcaster, wielding her rapier with one hand as she walked forward step by step.
"What kind of entity are you exactly?" she asked as she walked.
The red-robed spellcaster's sleeves fluttered in the wind, his hands glowing in a purple glow.
"You want to know? You'll have to win against me first! "
The spellcaster clasped his hands together. The purple glow quickly converged into a cluster of rapidly vibrating light.
His technique had been prepared.
Gu Qing Shan shook her head: "If there's anything you can't say, you can tell us, it's not like we have to fight and kill each other — –"
"Die!" the red-robed spellcaster shouted and tossed the cluster of purple light towards Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan sighed and stood still.
The cluster of purple light broke through the void of space, leaving a trail of darkness behind it as it flew, reaching Gu Qing Shan in the blink of an eye.
Gu Qing Shan still didn't move.
He simply — — -
Abruptly disappeared.
Divine Skill, [Shadow Shift]!
The red-robed spellcaster abruptly appeared where he originally stood.
At this point, the cluster of purple light had already reached him, so the red-robed spellcaster didn't have the chance to put up any defenses.
Bam!
With a heavy resounding sound, the cluster of purple light entered its master's body and began to destroy everything.
"Aaaargh!"
The red-robed spellcaster fell to his knees, screaming like he had lost his mind.
He was already heavily wounded.
Gu Qing Shan looked at him from afar and tried to persuade him: "Fighting is so boring, how about we talk for a bit?"
While breathing heavily, the red-robed spellcaster quickly chanted a spell to create a barrier of light around himself.
"I was too careless just now, now that you have the protection of the purple flame shield, I want you dead!"
The red-robed spellcaster declared with a twisted expression.
Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but sigh.
It doesn't make sense at all.
Then there's only …
Gu Qing Shan spoke to the void of space: "Switch with him"
A low 'wu wu' sound resounded from the void of space, followed by — — -
The red-robed spellcaster once again disappeared and reappeared in front of Gu Qing Shan. Gu Qing Shan grabbed him by the neck.
Inside the barrier of light, the void of space trembled a bit before returning to normal.
Jade pendant Adorable used a Divine Skill: [Shadow Shift].
It directly switched the red-robed spellcaster out of the barrier!
Gu Qing Shan held the red-robed spellcaster down.
"Don't move, you'll die if you do"
Four swords appeared from the void of space, two of which were placed on the red-robed spellcaster's neck, one pointed at his heart, and the last at his waist.
Gu Qing Shan looked down at where the Earth sword was pointing at, then looked away: "Tell me about the Apocalypse, then I'll let you go"
The red-robed spellcaster trembled.
The other party didn't even need to attack to defeat me.
What unimaginable combat prowess!
Could it be …
The red-robed spellcaster's eyes showed fear.
Gu Qing Shan didn't know what he was thinking, but she managed to catch his emotions right away.
Gu Qing Shan's thoughts quickly turned, then slowly spoke with a gentle tone: "I'm in charge of resurrection and the dead, as long as you tell me where you came from, I'll save you from the Apocalypse"
"I want you to swear" the red-robed spellcaster quickly spoke in a low voice.
"Of course I can"
Gu Qing Shan made up her mind and swore: "I hereby swear, as long as — — -"
Before she could finish her words, the red-robed spellcaster's body in her hand turned into fine grains of sand that scattered into the surrounding sandstorm.
The red-robed spellcaster's expression was still full of fear as he muttered: "Save … me …"
At the very last moment, his expression suddenly turned stiff and changed to a cold and solemn tone:
"Life and death are only the surface of reality, yet mortals indulge in it"
Saying so, the red-robed spellcaster completely turned into sandstorm and slowly faded away.
The sandstorm howled as it faded into the void of space and disappeared without a trace.
Gu Qing Shan froze in place.
Crow stood not too far away, silently watching this.
"Huh — – even God couldn't do anything?" Crow muttered.
Although he was speaking in a mocking tone, neither he nor Gu Qing Shan laughed.
"At the very last moment, I felt like that spellcaster had suddenly changed into another person" Gu Qing Shan muttered.
"That's right, I also felt it" Crow agreed.
"Have you ever seen an Apocalypse like this?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"I haven't, to be honest, I'm a bit nervous right now" Crow replied.
This spellcaster was actually a part of the Apocalypse.
But he still retained his thoughts and will.
At the very last moment, as he faded away, he was replaced by another entity who said something completely different.
How …
Eerie.
"Let's go, the quest has us reinforce a place called Blue Mountain city, we need to head there right away, perhaps we'll be able to obtain more information there" Crow said.
Crow shrugged: "Not sure, either way, we didn't make it to the large-scale battle — — perhaps by the time we reach Blue Mountain city, everything would already be over"
Gu Qing Shan glanced at him and said: "Don't say anything stupid, you were right just now"
Crow didn't mind: "I was just saying"
As the two of them were about to move, their ID cards began to vibrate again.
A voice resounded from the ID card:
[Attention please]
[Blue Mountain city had been destroyed by the Apocalypse]
The two of them froze.
Crow's expression slowly turned serious.
"Blue Mountain city, there were 5 groups of Professionists, and the two Titled Combatants I know were there. What the hell, did they both die?" he muttered to himself.
The two of them exchanged glances.
If they hadn't been delayed by this small sandstorm, the two of them would have most likely arrived at Blue Mountain city already.
— — what would have been the result of that?
Gu Qing Shan took one last look at the ruins of the town and muttered: "Such a powerful thing, what exactly was it?"
