Lord of the Mysteries 2: Circle of Inevitability

When the goat-faced demon approached and stared at him, Lumian's palm had already grasped the hilt of the "Sword of Courage".

Facing the white leg bone that was falling down, he swooped out the iron-black straight sword burning with a blazing white and blue flames and rushed forward.

Bang!

As the collision sounded violently, Lumian's palm cracked and black coagulated blood flowed out.

The tremendous force from the goat-faced demon made it impossible for him to hold the "Sword of Courage" anymore. The whole person was smashed out and fell into a pile of rubble.

The goat-faced demon jumped over the iron-black straight sword that fell to the ground, took two steps to Lumian, and raised the white leg bone again.

Suddenly, the figure of the temperance demigod Sharon was reflected in its dim eyes with blood and pus, and its raised hands froze in mid-air.

Seeing that the sheep-faced demon's movements became unusually slow, as if he was fighting against something, Lumian instantly ignited a blazing white flame, turned into a flamboyant spear, and whizzed past this high-ranking undead creature to the place where the "Sword of Courage" fell.

Perhaps because the sheep-faced demon was not a "Death God" path extraordinary person who turned into an undead, it had a poor deterrent effect on Lumian, an undead creature, and it did not have the feeling of enslaving Lumian's body and mind, allowing Lumian to muster up the courage to resist.

While picking up the iron-black straight sword, Lumian released the spirituality accumulated by the "Ascetic Monk" ability.

At the same time, his eyes were stained with iron-black color, reflecting the various colors on the sheep-faced demon.

He quickly found the paleness, ran two steps in the direction of the sheep-faced demon, and jumped high.

In mid-air, Lumian adjusted his posture, holding the "Sword of Courage" with both hands, and fell down from above to the sheep-faced demon who was still fighting against the temperance demigod Sharon, whose movements were slow and stiff.

This time, he used the "Harvest" of the "Sword of Courage"!

His spirituality rushed madly to the iron-black straight sword, causing the blazing white and blue flames on the surface to instantly swell and condense inward.

With a puff, Lumian hit the back of the sheep-faced demon heavily, stabbed down with both hands, and inserted the "Sword of Courage" into the connection between the neck and body of the sheep-faced demon, sinking into the rotten black flesh and blood like cutting butter.

In the splashing of disgusting pus, the blazing white and blue flames covering the iron-black straight sword were all poured into the body of the sheep-faced demon.

Rumble, a dull explosion sounded, and the temperance demigod Sharon left the body of the sheep-faced demon in time.

The sheep-faced demon then collapsed into a pool of sticky black liquid that looked like the evil thoughts of human hearts.

The black liquid was scattered to different places in the ruined church by the expanding firelight and the shock waves that swept around. Then, they swam quickly and drilled into the dark hole leading to the pale kingdom, as if they were going to reorganize inside.

Holding the "Sword of Courage", Lumian consumed two-thirds of the released spirituality at once. He was about to catch up and fight the sheep-faced devil again, but he felt his body stiffen and his soul was locked in an invisible cage.

"Take your target item first." The weak and increasingly ethereal voice of the "Sword Knight" sounded in his ears.

Yes... Lumian recognized the reason of the "Sword Knight".

Anyway, I'm not afraid of the sheep-faced devil. I can put the body of "Abscess Hand" into the "Traveler's Bag" first!

He transformed into a blazing white spear and came to the bone torch. In order to better move the half of the body of "Abscess Hand", he temporarily stuffed the "Sword of Courage" back into the "Traveler's Bag".

After a moment, Lumian felt scared:

I only have one-third of my spiritual power left, why am I still thinking about fighting the sheep-faced devil to the death?

Moreover, Ms. Sharon's condition is obviously very bad!

At this time, shouldn't I quickly pick up the target object and escape from this half-collapsed church before the sheep-faced devil reassembles his body and chases me?

Fortunately, the "Sword Knight" acted as a valve of courage and found a reason that could effectively convince me!

Lumian no longer hesitated, holding half of the body of the "abscessed hand" with both hands and trying to lift it.

This body is very heavy, as if it is made of metal. Fortunately, Lumian is currently Sequence 5 and is in one of the paths known for strength.

During this process, Lumian was still worried that the body would suddenly turn into a corpse and give him a fatal blow, but fortunately, after the half of the body of the "abscessed hand" was cut by the sheep-faced devil for who knows how many years, it seemed to have lost its activity and did not have any abnormal reaction.

Lumian placed the half of the corpse with abscesses at the opening of the "Traveler's Bag" and was delighted to see it "sink" in.

——Flesh and blood with vitality cannot be put into the "Traveler's Bag", and the remains of the "abscessed hand" had previously shown the characteristics of self-healing. Lumian's idea just now was that if he could not put this half of the corpse into the "Traveler's Bag", he would just carry it honestly, or ask one of the "Sword Knight" and Ms. Sharon to attach to it and control it to run.

After collecting the incomplete body of the "abscessed hand", Lumian heard a creaking sound coming from the dark hole.

He immediately transformed into a blazing white flame spear and threw it fiercely outside the half-collapsed black church.

With the sound of whooshing, the blazing white flames left burning marks in the dark air and spread rapidly to the distance.

There was no pale erosion here, and Lumian could fly far in one breath.

Under the illumination of the golden street lamps that looked like human figures, Lumian, who had transformed into a blazing white flame spear many times, finally returned to the illusory dark Styx.

He saw the gloomy and dilapidated boat reappear, slowly approaching this side as the "boatman" paddled.

Lumian waited anxiously, not daring to fly to the boat in the form of a flame spear.

According to the "Sword Knight" Maric, that would cause him to sink directly into the depths of the Styx, and no one could rescue him.

Behind him, pale green balls of flame burned quietly, sometimes swaying with the violent shaking of the earth, and sometimes shaking up and down in some kind of tremor.

Lumian was tense, feeling that some kind of danger was getting closer and closer, but he didn't know whether it was caused by the changes brought about by the awakening of the corpse of the ancient death god, or the pursuit of the sheep-faced devil.

He looked at the gloomy boat that seemed to have no change in speed, and used the "hunter" method to ease his inner emotions.

He smiled and said to the "Sword Knight" Maric in his body:

"I used to think that the Goat-Faced Devil was very strong, and was only slightly inferior to the ancient gods. Otherwise, why would it have hatred with the Demon King and want to kill him? Why would it desire the bird egg under the corpse of the ancient death god? But now it seems that it is only at the level of a saint, and it is the kind that only has a corpse without extraordinary characteristics."

"Sword Knight" did not respond.

Lumian continued to talk to himself:

"The Goat-Faced Devil proposed to kill the Demon King as a transaction content at the beginning. It should be just a bluff. The purpose is to make it easier for us to accept the second condition. Subconsciously, I think it is not bad. In fact, if there is no interference from the premature baby Osetto, we have a chance to steal the bird egg, but we will have to face the anger of the ancient death god's corpse later, but that has nothing to do with the Goat-Faced Devil itself.

"At the same time, it also used the commission of killing the Demon King to establish its own image, making us think that it is very powerful and once had a high status. We dare not directly attack it, nor dare to give up the bird egg mission easily.

"What a cunning devil..."

Mumbling to himself, Lumian suddenly remembered the accusation of the goat-faced devil:

I took the egg privately!

When did I take the egg privately? The egg was clearly still under the body of the Phoenix Progenitor. I just had a little resonance with the creature inside the egg, heard what it heard, and saw what it saw... Because of this resonance, I was secretly infected with the breath of the creature inside the egg, and the goat-faced devil mistakenly thought that I took the egg and broke it? As an undead creature, the goat-faced devil, even if it was a saint-level devil before, should not have much brain left now, just relying on the devil's cunning instinct... Lumian was seriously speculating, and the shabby and gloomy boat finally arrived at the shore.

Lumian immediately jumped on the boat and stood behind the "boatman".

Although this "boatman" might launch an attack later, compared with the pursuit of the goat-faced devil and the changes brought about by the awakening of the ancient death god's corpse, it can be called "friendly".

This is within the scope of coping.

The gloomy, shabby boat swayed away from the dark shore and slowly sailed towards the middle of the illusory Styx.

Lumian looked back at the depths of the underworld and found that the thick darkness had calmed down. There was no more violent shaking and no heavy noises.

Everything was peaceful again.

Lumian's tense spirit relaxed a little and he breathed a sigh of relief instinctively.

This "trip to the underworld" was really "tight"...

It was not until this time that he thought about the problem of the black giant egg:

The things nurtured inside seemed to have some relationship with Omybella!

From this incident, Lumian felt that the "Great Mother" used Omybella from ancient times as the name of her son of God. It should not be purely to rely on the strong mystical symbolism to erode the authority of the "Mother Goddess of the Earth". Omybella, the long-dead "Goddess of Harvest", still has a lot of secrets.

"But, Omibella was not one of the eight ancient gods who ruled the sky and the earth at that time. She was just the queen of the giant king among the ancient gods, and a subordinate god, which is equivalent to the angels today. Why can the secrets of her affect the current era?

"Alas, many key information is currently covered by the mist of history. Only a few high-ranking people who have truly survived from the Second Age to the present know a little bit..."

Lumian sighed, watching himself getting farther and farther away from the dark land deep in the underworld, until his sight was filled with the illusory and dark water of the Styx.

He suddenly felt that this matter had come to an end.
