Dok dok dok!
"Is anyone here?"
"Is anyone here?"
No answer.
Gu Qing Shan took a few steps back and carefully observed the monastery.
Due to the torrential rain, the entire monastery was shrouded in mist, making it impossible to see what was inside.
Lola carefully observed the metal gate of the monastery and said: "There's a lot of sealing power on this gate, we can't get in"
Gu Qing Shan also looked at the heavy metal gate and said: "This seal is very powerful, similar to a unique barrier, we need to go in to see what's inside"
Lola muttered: "How strange, we were told to come here … but then …"
— — the gate was completely locked.
With Gu Qing Shan's spirit sense, she could clearly sense the existence of some sort of unique power.
This power was beyond Gu Qing Shan's understanding, causing the entire monastery to remain in an incomprehensible state.
— — just like that monster.
Gu Qing Shan went silent.
During my battle against that monster, the knights didn't show up, and the monastery didn't react at all.
Was it because they wanted to, but didn't have the strength, or were they just a bunch of snakes and rats?
— — I need to know the answer now.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, then put the knight captain's badge on the metal gate.
The badge gave off a gentle and holy light that illuminated the entire metal gate.
It was now that they could see the countless divine runes engraved on the metal gate.
Perhaps due to the passage of time, the runes had already started to rust. Under the constant erosion of the rain, the rust seemed to be spreading, giving off an indescribably eerie feeling.
Bam!
The metal gate suddenly let out a loud noise, causing Lola to jump in fright.
"Gu Qing Shan, what's going on?" she asked in a low voice.
"Don't be afraid, it's probably some sort of unique power"
Gu Qing Shan maintained her vigilance and comforted her.
Under the watchful eyes of the two, the nameplate completely sank into the iron door, as if it had become a part of the iron door.
At the very next moment, Gu Qing Shan's hair stood on end.
He abruptly retreated, drew the Six Paths Great Mountain sword, and shielded Lola behind him.
"How did you —"
Before Lola could finish her sentence, her voice was cut off by herself.
She covered her mouth to prevent herself from screaming out loud.
A silhouette appeared at the spot where the two of them were originally standing.
— That knight captain.
He quietly looked at the iron gate without any expression on his face.
Neither Gu Qing Shan nor Lola knew when he appeared.
"Aren't you patrolling?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The knight captain did not say anything.
Boom!
A clap of thunder sounded in the sky.
Cold rain fell from the sky, hitting the knight captain's face and body, but he did not move at all.
After a while, he turned to look at Gu Qing Shan.
"You can get free food and water in the monastery," the captain said.
Gu Qing Shan frowned slightly.
The other party had said the same thing the last time they met.
"Captain, why are you alone? Where are your knights? "Gu Qing Shan asked again.
The knight captain finally showed a sorrowful expression.
"Them? They were captured by the monster to fill up the bridge, I couldn't protect them "the knight captain muttered.
The knight captain continued: "You're right, this monastery is a trap"
"Gu Qing Shan …" Lola exclaimed in a low voice, her hands couldn't help but grab Gu Qing Shan's sleeves.
The other party knew that Gu Qing Shan had said something like that before.
This means that the other party has been following them all this time, but neither I nor Gu Qing Shan noticed.
If he wanted the lives of the two of them …
No!
I used [Shelter of Infinite Worlds], not even the monster noticed, why — —
Lola felt a chill down her spine.
Gu Qing Shan seriously asked: "Did you give us the badge and use it to track our movements?"
The other party nodded.
Gu Qing Shan asked again: "Why did you send us into a trap?"
The knight captain didn't say anything.
He placed his hand on the metal door and muttered: "With my broken body, I summon the Holy Light"
The door split open, revealing an open iron coffin in the middle. It was filled with sharp blades.
Each blade was engraved with countless divine runes.
The knight captain looked at the iron coffin with an indifferent expression.
"The monastery is filled with powerful evil beings, just like this city."
He continued:
"But the entire city has fallen into complete darkness, only the monastery still has a sliver of hope, so an evil barrier has been set up around the monastery, preventing any living person from entering. Only those of us who originally belonged to the monastery can make the final sacrifice to obtain a single chance to enter"
The knight's facial muscles twitched a bit, as if he wanted to show some sort of expression, but managed to maintain his calm.
The knight simply looked at Gu Qing Shan again and muttered:
"Although you didn't manage to defeat that monster, there is no one else in the long river of history that you can rely on. What I'm saying is, if you are willing to enter the monastery and search for that sliver of hope — — -"
The knight captain glanced at the iron coffin full of sharp spikes.
Gu Qing Shan understood.
He sheathed his sword and sighed: "I will defeat that monster"
The knight stiffly nodded.
"Very well"
"Keep in mind, there is only a single place in the monastery where you can obtain free food and water"
He repeated this sentence again and walked into the iron coffin.
Rumble rumble!
The door closed. The screams from inside the iron coffin were drowned out by the resounding rumble.
A second later.
A small door was opened on the heavy metal door. Blood flowed down from the edge of the door.
"Let's go" Gu Qing Shan said.
He picked up Lola and leapt through the small door.
Bam!
The small door closed behind them.
All sounds disappeared.
Silence.
A gust of wind blew past.
The scenery of the monastery appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan and Lola.
But neither of them were in the mood to take a closer look.
"Gu Qing Shan, that knight just now — — -"
"That's right, he sacrificed his power in exchange for a chance to let us in"
Gu Qing Shan had a complicated expression on her face and continued:
"He also couldn't deal with that monster — — - the entire monastery was unable to deal with that monster, so he should have already died — — - perhaps he was some sort of heroic spirit, that's why I've always felt that there were death companions here"
"We are his last hope"
Lola was a bit surprised and sighed: "I have countless powerful treasures on me, but against that monster, I can sense that none of them would be of any use"
"I agree"
Gu Qing Shan continued: "I've thought about it for a long time. I'm afraid that none of the powers we know of before would be able to deal with that monster, not even its own kind or subordinates"
In front of them was a long stone path with various divine statues on both sides.
A voice resounded from afar:
"Two more people have come to die!"
At the end of the path, a group of dark shadows silently appeared.
These shadows flew in the direction of the two of them.
Lola held the umbrella in her hand and quickly asked: "Do we fight or hide?"
Gu Qing Shan drew her sword.
"You hide first, I'll try again" he said.
"They might be weaker than the monster from before, but they still carry the same type of power" Lola reminded him.
"If it was that monster, I wouldn't have the courage to try this modified ability, but now is the perfect time to try it out" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Hm, do your best, Gu Qing Shan!" Lola opened her umbrella and stood on one side.
Gu Qing Shan wielded the Earth sword with one hand and quickly walked towards the shadows.
"If all the powers are useless …"
While walking, he raised his other hand and clenched the void of space.
Immediately, a line of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:
[The power of the Twine of Cloud Atlas has been bestowed upon you by that lady]
[From now on, you no longer require Prayers to activate the Sacrificial Dance. Every time you complete the Sacrificial Dance, it will become stronger]
[— — -Taste the lust of slaughter, consider yourself holy]
Boom boom!
Behind Gu Qing Shan, two skeletons wielding swords appeared from the bloody fog.
They followed closely behind Gu Qing Shan, quickly disappeared into the void of space behind him.
Gu Qing Shan's figure flashed and went towards the shadows.
