Chapter 96
It must be said, although the original Evil Spirit only had its instincts left, it was still quite useful.
As Negri continued to move forward, the sounds of battle continued to resound from the front. Perhaps because he was close enough, the Soul's Blood connection was reestablished, allowing Negri to understand what was going on ahead.
Nala was wielding the Dragonscale sword while fighting against several Ghostmen. The pressure of a dragon coming from her body was growing stronger and stronger, proving that her Dragon Bloodline was quickly awakening.
"Miss Nala, that is how it is. Only by defeating them will you be qualified to pass through this gate" Sieh Mother-in-law's voice resounded.
She was leading the Draconians and standing in front of a gate of bones, next to which was a spring of water. It was the Spring of Life that the Sacred Valley assassins possessed.
There were a total of three Ghostmen fighting against Nala. They were the traitor of the Church of Divine Grace, the captain of the Ghostmen, Myerson who had been implanted with the remnant soul of Chris, the fat Connor Kenway who had the ability to reflect damage, and the new Ghostman who had been implanted with Ellis.
In addition to that, there were several other battles taking place on the other side. The avenger Jason Todd was fighting against the pure villain Cadiz Moreg. This was the battle of revenge that Jason had been looking forward to for 17 years.
Rhys, who was originally hiding in the shadows, was leading three knights to fight against the Ghostman Jack, while a few remaining Sacred Valley assassins were fighting against a few Crowmen.
As for the Righteous of Negri, Noah, he was wearing a black robe and was silently standing next to the gate of bones, watching these battles.
"Damn it!" Nala evaded the large iron ball Connor swung at her, slashed the illusion created by Ellis with her sword, then turned around to catch Myerson's slash. Being surrounded by three Ghostmen, especially Myerson who was extremely familiar with her [Respiratory Art], made her feel particularly uncomfortable.
The secondary soul that Myerson had implanted was none other than the first teacher of Nala's [Respiratory Art], Chris. Although he couldn't use [Respiratory Art] due to his transformation into an undead, he was extremely familiar with everything about [Respiratory Art]. His attack just so happened to land on Nala's weak spot.
Nala still had an impression of this man in front of her. At that time, he was just a slightly inexperienced knight. It was also because of his betrayal that the crusade against Negri became a complete failure.
At this time, Nala could vaguely sense Chris's presence from him. Therefore, whether it was to prevent the Black Abyss from descending or to avenge Chris, who taught her the breathing technique, she had to defeat these people.
The scenery in front of her blurred, then Nala suddenly appeared on a sunny meadow. Her hands that were originally full of calluses from holding her sword had turned into small white hands, and the armor on her body had turned into a small dress. On the other side of the meadow was a lake, and next to the lake was a cozy wooden house.
The young Isabella was standing in front of the wooden house with a very amiable-looking man, waving at her. This was the scene that Nala longed for the most when she was young. Her mother didn't have to age because of hard work, and her father, who she always talked about, was still alive and by her mother's side.
With a smile on her face, Nala turned around and swung her sword. All the illusions were destroyed, her faith had never wavered. Her Dragonscale sword clashed against Myerson's knight's sword, the [Dragon's Pressure] on her body surged and expanded once again.
…
The stairs Negri was standing on split open as a monster with a huge mouth jumped out from the crack, wanting to swallow Negri whole.
"Are you trying to ambush me?" Negri stopped observing Nala and jumped to the other side.
The monster's mouth was like an endless black hole, symbolizing the monster's identity. In Hales, the Chopped Hand represented the unfathomable God, the position that Ellis should have returned to.
A terrifying suction force appeared in the air above the monster. The surrounding light seemed to be swallowed by this monster, including the crows that followed Negri. Once they entered the monster's mouth, the connection between the crows and Negri would be severed.
This feeling allowed Negri to understand where this monster's mouth led to. It led to the Black Abyss that had yet to fully return. Once they were sucked in, they would enter the Black Abyss, then be erased by the Black Abyss and become a part of the Black Abyss.
The monster wriggled, swallowed everything, and rushed towards Negri.
“jliost！” Negri reached out his hand and unleashed the unstoppable power that represented the Dragon. Everything in front of him collapsed, the monster's body was torn to shreds, but its advance wasn't stopped.
For the Chopped Hand, its body wasn't too important, the most important thing was the giant mouth that symbolized the connection to the Black Abyss. Although the power of [Dracotongue] destroyed its body, it couldn't destroy the giant mouth that looked like a passage.
"It's really strong." As Negri looked at the approaching giant mouth, he couldn't help but admit that while he was limited by the world and himself, unable to grow any stronger, these things had borrowed the power of the Black Abyss to surpass him and surpass the limits of this world.
"Fortunately, I got this" Negri pulled out the original Evil Spirit: "Otherwise, it would've been quite troublesome to deal with this thing"
If the quality of Negri's soul could be said to have surpassed that of a person at the first stage of release, which was equivalent to the peak of the first stage of release, then the giant mouth that borrowed the power of the Black Abyss was at least the power of a person at the second stage of release.
The original Evil Spirit was created during the era of the First Empire, when the remnant souls of various Combatants of various races were forged through flames. At the time, many of these Combatants were equivalent to people at the third stage of release.
After so many years of wear and tear, it was no longer as powerful as before, but the quality of its soul had also far surpassed Negri's own.
Tossing the ball of light in his hand, Negri threw it into the Chopped Hand's giant mouth without any reluctance. The Grace of Sacrifice was activated, and as soon as it entered the giant mouth, the original Evil Spirit completely erupted.
The Chopped Hand let out a soundless howl, madly swallowing the surrounding rocks and air, but none of this could stop its giant mouth from collapsing bit by bit, until it was finally retracted by some sort of power and disappeared without a trace.
Negri continued forward. At this point, two of the four faces of Hales' God had already been retracted, leaving only the Cut Tongue, which represented the 'unspeakable' God, and the 'unreasonable' Decapitated, which represented the 'unspeakable' God, which had yet to return.
Hales' actions this time were extremely strange. From their point of view, what they needed to do was to stop Nala from continuing the first flame, so that the Black Abyss would be able to descend more smoothly. But in reality, the Dazzled was being held back by a few people like a joke, while the Chopped Hand was lying in ambush here, ready to ambush him. It was obvious that there was some sort of secret behind all of this.
But it didn't matter. No matter what happened, nothing could stop his will. Whether it was a conspiracy or an unspeakable secret, there was only one thing he needed to do.
