Extraordinary pedigree

Chapter 724 The Dark Lord’s Turmoil: Blood of the Dead in Gray Harbor (End)

After confirming that the person who signed the name was gone, Xia Xiu raised the wand in his hand and waved it at the blazing forest fire.

Accompanied by a huge [∞] symbol, the powerful wind extinguished the surrounding fires in an instant.

After doing this, he turned his eyes again to Derek Hollins in front of him, the black-robed operator who had been possessed by the Son of Spread.

The right side of Derek's cheek had returned to normal, and although his life force was nearly drained, he was fully conscious.

He opened his eyes with difficulty and saw the blond young man squatting in front of him, with uncontrollable excitement and gratitude on his face.

"Director..." Derek shouted weakly, with a tremor in his voice.

The pain was tearing at his body, but compared to the inescapable darkness that possessed him, being able to see Xia Xiu by his side gave him a sense of comfort.

Xia Xiu's face was soft, with compassion and silent pain in his eyes.

He gently raised his wand. Wearing the [Crown of Thorns] on his head, he had the most powerful spiritual and energy blessings. At this moment, he pointed at Derek's chest and released three powerful magic spells in succession.

[Leverage of the Sky-Fantasy Particle Transfer——]

[Lever of Heaven-Damage Lever——]

[Out of Control World-Death Tolerance——]

These glimmers of light fell on Derek's wounds like drizzle, easing his physical decay. The lever pried away the severe pain in his body, and the [Out of Control World] prolonged his death.

However, Xia Xiu knew that even if he could make Derek no longer suffer, the operator's life still could not be saved.

He has been corrupted by the Named Ones for too long, and his spirituality has withered.

Xia Xiu couldn't stop Derek's life from fading away.

As the fourth sword holder in the Kingdom of Heaven, facing the decline of his subordinates, at this moment, he can only make them walk more peacefully.

Derek looked at the director squatting next to him, his eyes full of gratitude and deep awe. He weakly raised his hand, trying to grab something.

Xia Xiu didn't hesitate, stretched out his clean hand and held Derek's hand that was stained with mud and blood.

Derek finally couldn't control it at that moment, his tears fell silently, and along with weak sobs, he began to cry bitterly.

"Director...am I going to die..."

Then, without waiting for Xia Xiu's answer, he continued:

"I know this is cowardly, but I am afraid of death..."

Xia Xiu looked down at him, his golden eyes flashing with complex emotions, but more of them were filled with deep compassion.

He held Derek's hand tightly, his voice soft but firm.

"Crying is just a sign of sadness, giving up is a sign of cowardice - in the face of death, you made a desperate move and did not run away."

"So, you're not a wimp, Derek."

Derek's hand trembled slightly, and he held the director's hand tightly, as if he drew some kind of comfort from the angel's warm palm.

His pain has been soothed by Xia Xiu. Although the shadow of death is approaching, he will reach the end in the most peaceful way.

Derek still couldn't help crying, and cried bitterly to Xia Xiu, like a child who found his parents, telling how his operator died in this operation.

"Director..." Derek's voice gradually became weaker, but the grief was still strong.

"Adrian Serbull...he was sucked...his soul...was taken away...you should have seen it...his body...became a dry shell..."

He choked, tears welled up again, and his vision was blurred, but he still tried hard to recall the scenes that he could not let go of.

"Cassandra Wren...she...she wanted to cast a spell to save us, but her own curse backfired...I watched with my own eyes as her body...exploded from the inside, with blood and flesh splattering..."

Derek's fingers twitched slightly, as some horrific scenes were replaying in his mind.

His breathing became ragged, and his voice was filled with suppressed fear and pain.

"Eugene Rex... Director, you didn't see... his soul was torn apart... he couldn't even let out a cry of pain and died instantly... his soul... Director... …It’s like being torn into pieces… without leaving a trace…”

His body was shaking involuntarily, and the fear and helplessness in his heart completely broke out at this moment.

His eyes were full of fear of death and endless pain of losing his companions.

"Cassandra, Oscar... they fell one after another... we... we just watched... but couldn't do anything... the curse backfired... the flames devoured... the souls were torn apart... Director... ...They...they are all dead, everyone...is dead..."

Derek broke down in sobs, his desperate cries echoing in the empty forest.

Xia Xiu held his hand quietly, his golden eyes still gentle, but his heart was filled with heavy sadness and... murderous intent.

Derek's voice became smoother and smoother, as if he wanted to reveal all the unsaid secrets, and his eyes showed apology and pain.

"I'm sorry, Director... before he died, he said so many cowardly words... but I really want you to know and tell you... the wizards in the Hundred Layer World... they have betrayed their treaty with the Kingdom of Heaven.

They secretly studied the forbidden black magic and the so-called living gods... The Crowned Child was awakened by them, and his nameholders and followers are all in the Hundred Worlds..."

Speaking of this, Derek's eyes gradually dimmed, but his voice was firm.

Xia Xiu already had the answer in his heart, his eyes flashed with a deep coldness, and he slowly spoke:

"Even the members of the Order of Merlin of the International Wizarding Confederation are acquiescing in their actions."

Derek nodded slightly and continued: "The evidence we found pointed to wizards from three different factions... red robes, purple robes and silver robes...At first, we targeted the purple-robed wizard Caleb Vigna who lived at No. 36 Iris Street in the 12th District."

Derek recalled, with a painful look on his face:

"At the beginning, we took advantage of his absence to catch him... control him... but we couldn't get any valuable information from him, even torture and mental exploration were useless. Later, Adrian discovered that he had an extremely ancient witchcraft - [Secret Keeping Spell]. "

Xia Xiu naturally understood the characteristics of this spell. [Secret Keeping Spell] is one of the taboo spells in the wizard world.

It can hide a secret deeply in the soul of the caster. Unless the keeper actively leaks it, no matter what means are used, the secret cannot be forcibly obtained.

This spell is only possessed by the most legitimate silver robe wizards, and it is the silver robe faction with the identity of the old Zhenghuang Banner...

Xia Xiu frowned slightly, but did not speak, quietly waiting for Derek to continue.

"Despite this... we still found another way to obtain intelligence."

Derrick continued, his voice becoming weaker and weaker, "Eugene... he is a person infected with odd-foot disease. His sense of smell is different from that of ordinary people. He can identify the pheromones of certain people or things that have come into contact with wizards through smell... His nose is more sensitive than that of a hound... Through his ability, we checked multiple places and residences that Caleb Vigner had contacted, and found a large amount of secret black magic materials. "

Derrick's eyes began to lose focus, but his lips were still trembling slightly:

"Adam helped us hack into the local black market... We tracked them using pseudonyms. Although those wizards used fake names, the information of the robe faction could not be concealed... In this way, we confirmed his identity and faction with the other two wizards. Their accomplices were the wizards from the red and silver robe factions. "

Derrick's team of operators is very smart. With just a few clues, they were able to capture Caleb Vigna.

Derrick's team of operators acted quickly and were extremely smart. With some scattered clues, they directly locked onto the purple-robed wizard Caleb Vigna.

However, despite their high insight and action, they eventually encountered strong suppression from higher-level forces.

This is not only the biggest obstacle in their pursuit of the Crowned Child, but also one of the fundamental reasons for the annihilation of the Gray Harbor Operators.

Derrick's narration became more and more depressed, and the next words made Xia Xiu feel more solemn.

"Just when we found the clues about Caleb, our senior operator Victor Keyser immediately decided to report to the Secretariat..."

Derrick said, his tone full of suppressed anger and helplessness:

"But Adam was blocked. Our peripheral lineage was maliciously blocked and could not be connected, and the entire team was isolated. "

Derrick's voice suddenly became deeper, and his eyes became unfocused, as if he had fallen back into that moment of despair:

"Then, a red-robed wizard attacked one of our outposts, and all the operators in the outpost were...destroyed. When we arrived, the scene was in ruins, with only a huge red snake spewing flames, and the red-robed wizard...he used...Parseltongue!"

"We immediately realized that the other party was a wizard from the Hundred Layers World, one of the ancient and sacred Auror families of the International Confederation of Wizards."

"Things began to get out of control." Derek continued, with a sense of powerlessness in his voice.

"Then things became even more chaotic."

"The purple-robed wizard ran away. He was an Animagus who could change into other forms. He turned into a huge white-haired whale and made a shrill cry."

"Then a group of white-haired whales suddenly appeared at the port. They suddenly appeared at the port, and huge waves swept in, rushing towards the temporary port station. The purple-robed wizard took advantage of the huge waves to run away. "

"All of this was carefully planned by them, a diversion to the east and a counterattack to the west."

Derrick paused, as if everything at that time was still vivid in his mind, with pain and regret:

"Our people chased to No. 36 Iris Street, but it was too late. The other party had already escaped through the secret passage.

We found a contaminated diary in that hiding place, which recorded the information about the named person, but we did not have time to fully contain and deal with it.

Adrian acted decisively and used his soul divination to predict the other party's whereabouts - the misty forest. "

Derrick's eyes began to be empty, and his voice became weaker and weaker:

"Captain... He immediately led everyone to the misty forest to chase the purple wizard..."

Xia Xiu listened silently, and he already understood the next result in his heart. He knew that this pursuit would only lead to a hopeless disaster, and the driving force behind this disaster was the crowned child and the robed wizard group behind him.

"Parseltongue, red robe wizard, red snake, Auror family..."

He silently recited these keywords in his heart, and as he sorted out his thoughts, he quickly came to a conclusion.

"Hundred-layer world NO.13: Naga Ring."

Naga Ring, located in the 13th plane of the Hundred-layer World, is famous for its unique snake culture and powerful snake magic.

Xia Xiu recalled the information about this plane. In the field of magical creature research, the prestige of Naga Ring is extremely high.

It not only has a long history of magic, but also its environment of symbiosis of snake creatures gives it unparalleled specialness.

This plane is full of various dangerous snake creatures and the worship of snake gods, and enjoys a supreme status among wizards and magicians.

This plane is famous for its danger and power, and the Auror family in it is a powerful wizard family that rules the Naga Ring.

Especially the ancient magic they mastered - Parseltongue, which is a kind of spiritual language that can communicate with snake creatures.

Wizards with this ability can not only communicate with snakes, but also command them to execute extremely complex instructions.

Xia Xiu remembered that there was a skill entry in his skill warehouse that he had placed for a long time - [Sky Lock Eyes·Strong Rigidity].

Because it could not keep up with the version strength, it was put into the skill warehouse early to collect dust.

This skill requires the organs of the rare [Sky Lock Snake], and most of these organs circulating in the Terra market are from the Auror family of the Naga Ring, who raise and control these extremely rare magical snakes.

"Naga Ring..." Xia Xiu muttered to himself, his eyes cold.

He already knew where his challenge wizard for the first-class medal of Merlin would choose.

The challenge target that was originally intended to only determine the winner may now also be a life-and-death battle.

"Director... I'm a little sleepy..."

Derrick Hollins' eyelids gradually drooped, and heavy fatigue surged like a tide, swallowing up his consciousness.

His fingers originally clenched Xia Xiu's hand, like a child who found support, but now, it became weak, and the palm slowly drooped, sticking to the soil without any strength.

Derek's breathing became shallow, his eyes began to become empty, and the breath of life slowly dissipated.

At this moment, he heard the low and soft voice of the fourth sword bearer in the kingdom of heaven, as if a loving father comforted his children:

"Our light and momentary suffering will achieve for us a great and eternal glory.

It turns out that we do not look at what is seen, but at what is unseen; because what is seen is temporary, and what is unseen is eternal."

The angel's voice was like a warm breeze, gently brushing Derek's soul that was about to fall silent.

The warm words seemed to bring him some comfort and relief, so that he was no longer afraid and lonely in his heart at the last moment of parting.

His breathing became steady, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if he saw those long-dead companions in his dream.

In Xia Xiu's soft tone, Derek Hollins, a loyal operator of the Kingdom of Heaven, finally fell asleep peacefully in this silence.

Xia Xiu stood up, and his golden eyes stared at Derek's quiet body. There was no extra emotion on his face, but his heart was extremely heavy.

He leaned over, gently placed Derek's hand on his chest, closed his eyes, and then began to bury every body of the operator on this battlefield.

*

On the ground, the fourth sword bearer of the Kingdom of Heaven personally erected 29 stone tablets on the ground, and each tablet was engraved with the name of those who fought for the Kingdom of Heaven to the end:

Adrian Thurble, Cassandra Lane, Eugene Rex, Oscar Finn...

The stone tablet stood in the crack that was cut out, and the scorched earth around it was still emitting residual heat, but Xia Xiu ignored all this and silently completed his last work.

Xia Xiu stood quietly in front of the stone tablet, his eyes swept across the silent tombstones, and then slowly raised the wand in his hand.

He did not speak, and his golden eyes looked particularly deep and calm at this moment.

He waved gently at the void, and a subtle [∞] symbol appeared in the air, and the ripple-like space fluctuations slowly spread in front of him.

The space seemed to be distorted, and the vortex was gently rippling.

Xia Xiu lowered his head and took a last look at the stone tablet he had erected with his own hands. The top hat sat firmly on his head, covering his complicated expression.

Then, he walked towards the distorted space, gently pressed the top hat, and his figure gradually disappeared in the ripples.

He was going to the Hundred Layers World to help those robed wizards recall the church era...

The stereotype of heaven in their minds.
