Chapter 548 Blood Sea

At this time, Roland and Elcardo were walking on the water.

To be precise, they were walking on the vast sea south of Titan, walking on the bright red ice road slowly emerging from the sea, heading north all the way.

The surface of the sea, which looks like a sinking sunset, is called the Wandering Sea.

Thousands of years ago, two-thirds of this sea was land, and there was a prosperous and developed civilization.

High elves, goblins, dragonmen - because this place is far away from the Northern Wilderness, there will be no dangerous and highly aggressive races such as frost ghosts, ice giants and ice dragons. Many relatively peace-loving and powerful races will choose to live in the south. Founding of the country.

At the same time, because the south is adjacent to the elemental plane, it is convenient for the occupations that use the elements to communicate with the elemental plane.At that time, Farnes still had a group of fighters capable of using the power of elements, such as the Fist of Fire and Howling Stormer, and there were also elementalists who were similar to sacrifices. This kind of priest served the elemental lord in exchange for power, but there was no need to pray. The ritual does not require materials, is a powerful supernatural profession that can cast spells for a limited number of times per day, and naturally regenerates the number of supernatural powers every day.As well as professions such as dragon strikers and dragon worshipers who can only be employed by dragon races, and pure white dancers and song moon priests who can only be employed by high elves.

But without exception, these occupations were buried along with their civilizations and countries, and sank into the sea forever.

When the elemental plane collapsed due to the suicide of elemental life, these countries that abused the power of the elements were also affected and impacted by the collapse of the plane because they were too closely connected with the elemental plane.Most of them were directly detonated, and all technologies that relied on the power of the elements for energy supply and circulation were all invalid. On the contrary, a considerable number of people who followed the fire elemental lord survived, but more than [-]% of these survivors became Demon follower, one of the most original cultists.

Facing the collapse of the world.Being as powerful as a mortal has no meaning.That continent, which was far more developed, prosperous, and powerful than the northern countries, was chewed and swallowed by the abyss forcefully, and sank into the bottom of the sea without any resistance.

Like a human being preyed upon by a shark.Along with these continents being dragged into the abyss, a layer of dark red liquid soaked out of this sea, which was originally as beautiful as azure blue gems, dyed the sea surface a dreadful blood red from south to north.

Although Druid's inheritance mentioned that this was the so-called "blood of Gaia" phenomenon caused by the complete destruction of the continent, Roland finally understood that this was only because this space partially overlapped with the dark red abyss. , but the color of the abyss is projected onto the sea.

The original Fire Elemental Plane was just a round cake spread outside Farnes, but the current Abyss is a slightly thicker spindle-shaped plane.The tip of one of its ends is like a nail embedded in the southernmost part of the Farnese world, penetrating the entire underground world, protruding from the sea surface, and opening an invisible giant jaw that penetrates the sky and the earth.This part of the abyss higher than the sea surface dyed the sky into a permanent sunset red, and soaked the sea surface as if it was soaked in blood.

Because of this, Roland and Elucard headed north from the abyss. In the end, they did not enter the underground world, but directly entered the Wandering Sea at the end.

This made Roland wary.

The greatest use of the underground world is to serve as a buffer when the Wall of Gaia breaks. It will not allow the power of dusk to leak directly to the earth and pollute and destroy the Wall of Orm. Instead, it will have a time to slowly saturate the earth. , allowing the Saint to repair the Wall of Gaia in time.

But things are different now.

The elemental plane turned into strange shapes under the control of the Balrog.He made one end of the abyss point to the outside world of Farnes, and the other end passed through the underground world and directly reached the surface.As the sea swallowed up by the abyss in the south is getting bigger and bigger, the moment it comes into contact with Titan, it means that the demon can be directly teleported from the abyss to Titan immediately, without any delay or delay in the journey.

You know, the northern countries are now the last continent of Farnese.Almost all countries border on land, as long as demons can set foot on Titan, it means they can set foot on other countries.

That would be a catastrophe.This is also the story told in the original Lost Christmas.

The cultists summoned their beloved god, the lost saint Higgs, to the earth. Higgs opened a passage to the abyss in Farnes in the center of the continent, and demons burning with terrible flames emerged from the destroyed world. Welling up, destroying everything they see with hatred and jealousy.

At that time, the river dried up and the trees and grass withered.Terrible gaps were opened in the earth, and the power of twilight leaked from the abyss polluted the walls of Orm, the sun and moon were broken, and the wind and rain were out of order.

Even though the Death Crow, the Law Master, and the Brilliant Hand forced the main army of demons to stay near Kalar, there were still some scattered demons who escaped from the encirclement through earth walking or illusions.

Even the lowest level of devil worshiper is silver rank, and there is no demon lower than gold rank.Although demons do not have flexible origins like humans, their origins are based on races, but that does not affect their slaughter of civilians and destruction of towns.

For a small town or village, without the help of strong enough players, they can easily be razed to the ground and burned to ashes.And after almost all the strong front-line players have stepped onto the front line, the rear has become extremely empty.

Although the enchantment wizards can flexibly carry out group teleportation, when they respond to a certain demon's attack, it often means that the town or village is no longer saved.

At that time, the new White Pagoda had only been rebuilt for two years, and because of the historical reasons of the gods, the saints were not generally believed and recognized by people.In the absence of a leader with sufficient prestige, two wars broke out after that.

If not, the main players in that battle would not be the players.At that time, the general level of players was far lower than that of the Twilight Invasion. The average level was only the silver-gold line. The second batch of players had to form a team of five or six players to ensure that they could kill the single demons without reducing their numbers. .

But now, not only did Roland connect people all over the world as a whole in terms of faith, he prevented Queen Bansa from going crazy, and he even ended the catastrophe that 300 million players had to go through hand in hand.

Roland has no shortage of prestige.He didn't need to watch countless people die in a war that he could have prevented, and then save the world by himself in exchange for people's admiration.

Compared to such a hypocritical and weak choice, Roland would rather choose to defeat the enemy by himself.Nip the source of disaster in the cradle.

That is not Roland's personal heroism, but his obligations and responsibilities as a leader, as people's idol and belief.

Speaking of responsibility...

Looking at the land gradually emerging in the distance, Roland's pupils gradually narrowed.

"Isn't this a Titan? This is—"

Elcardo's voice became high, his eyes glowed with excitement, but he was a little uncertain.

"There is no need to doubt yourself, Elcardo. This is indeed not a Titan."

Roland said in a deep voice, "This is Elcate."

"—Land of Silver, Elcate!"
