712 Gorge (1/2)
Powerful. Ice-cold. Suffocating!
Under the effect of this terrifying power, Amanda felt that every single part of her body was shivering and her soul about to leave her body.
”It's that divinity! He's always been following us!”
In a split second, she quickly thought of that mysterious person who fleetingly appeared in the bazaar.
Lauder's movements also stopped as he glanced behind, his voice carrying some grief and indignation. ”Sure enough… you won't let me go!”
Step! Step!
Accompanying the footsteps that seemed to be stepping on their hearts, a person in black slowly appeared.
”Who are you?” Lauder roared and raised the scimitar in his hand. ”Secret Technique: Red Moon!”
A blood-red glow appeared on the blade, and Amanda even seemed to see the faint outline of a red moon.
”L-Legend domain?”
Her pupils shrank, knowing that he had used some kind of secret technique and the half-artifact to reach a Legend's strength.
The surrounding environment transformed, like the coming of night. Within the dark curtain, only a red moon ruled.
”All of you, die!” Lauder roared, and his scimitar instantly transformed into sinister moonlight that was omnipresent and could destroy anything.
”Red Moon domain? Nice weapon. When it was first forged, a Legend's blood, tears, and efforts, as well as all his inspirations toward his domain, were included!”
The person in black was engulfed by the torrential moonlight, but seemed to have no reaction as he suddenly raised his right hand.
His right hand was so delicately white and slender that even a lady's hand paled in comparison. At the moment it entered the blood-red moonlight, the domain's entire sky became stagnant.
Crack! Crack!
The red moon immediately shattered and revealed the actual scene.
”You…”
Lauder's face became extremely terrified as he looked at the person in black gripping his blade with just three fingers, any attempt at pulling it back completely useless.
”If you want to become a Legend, you must walk your own path! Although this half-artifact is decent, it will ultimately be your shackle!”
With that indifferent voice, the person in black twisted his hand once.
Lauder screamed as the scimitar escaped his hand, vomiting blood as his body flew back and fell onto the ground.
Impossible!
Amanda was nearly lifeless upon seeing this.
Lauder was a Quasi-Legend! With the boosts of the half-artifact and secret technique, he could rival a Legend!
However, such power actually failed in front of this mysterious person?
Not only was he defeated, it was so simple and without any resistance, like an adult disciplining a child.
Lauder coughed up blood as he half-squatted onto the ground, his eyes fixed on the mysterious person, and suddenly said, ”Divine fire?!”
In order to ignite divine fire, how many Sons of Purgatory has he killed?
Amanda's heart sank. Seeing the defeat of Lauder, she did not dare to get her hopes up.
This enemy was unexpectedly so powerful, making it difficult for her to develop any thought of resistance.
”Saying so much, don't you just want to kill me and plunder my divinity?” Lauder's sole eye was blood-red. ”It's useless no matter how much you plunder. Death God Jay will still kill you! You are definitely not his rival!”
”The laments and curses of a weakling…”
The person in black casually flung the scimitar in his hand, making it to land beside Lauder. ”But I don't have any desire to kill now. All of you, follow me!”
He pointed with his hand, and it shockingly included Amanda and everyone else
”Leave?” Amanda felt very baffled. This was the first time she saw a Son of Purgatory that could control his desire to kill. ”Go where?”
”Scarlet Gorge”
The person in black lifted open his cloak and revealed a very young but pale face. ”By the way, you can call me Zorro!”
”In other words, we've become your captives, Sir Zorro?” Clegg tried to make his voice seem respectful, even using his glances to silently curb Michael's small actions.
”You can say that!” Zorro grinned and nodded. ”You're still slightly beneficial to me. How's that? Do you choose to die now or follow me?”
When faced with such a life-and-death decision, even Lauder lapsed into silence.
Not long later, the small team of six once again began their journey.
But two of the members had been replaced.
Fang Yuan was silent. Using subtle expressions and movements, he gave the false impression of distress and fear.
Instead, his spiritual will was endlessly calculating. Very good… my concealment won't even be exposed by the Slaughter God. He's heading to the Scarlet Gorge. Seems that he's obtained a revelation of destiny or other intelligence that Ramon fell in the depths of the Demon Territory?
Regarding the choice of this sworn enemy, Fang Yuan admired it a little. He had really regarded the most dangerous place as the safest place.
…
Scarlet Gorge.
This was a prominent landmark within the Demon Territory.
Due to the changes in the terrain, it had produced a massive fault zone.
After many investigations by the adventurers, churches, and kingdoms, they had publicly recognized this as a dividing line in the Demon Territory.
