Chapter 152 (1/2)
The name of hailast plunged the whole adventure team into a great panic. The black robed crazy mage, like his countless peers, has a hissing deterrent.
This name, with the charm of the plague, can make Erwin feel deep fear and despair, just like the invisible things oppressed in the dark, with suffocating fear, like a shadow, tormenting them like a nail behind them. The only thing we can rely on is our sense of responsibility.
Justice and responsibility torture them together with fear, and give them the only warmth in this dark wave.
Everyone in the adventure team became silent. They stumbled and groped on the dark cableway, the cableway built of thick iron chains and boards, the dome supported by huge stone columns, the trestle and tunnel dug between the rocks, and the cold iron chains, with the unique damp and cold underground.
But they did not dare to look back, or even light the lights, for even the slightest light might leak, because they could hear the subtle sounds behind them, the sound of metal friction, the sound of neat footsteps, and some dull sounds, just like some huge weight falling heavily on the ground and spreading far away.
This is a place like hell.
In the past, a dog headed man who can be easily knocked down by an adult male with a little training has become particularly terrible here. Those elite armor and weapons, those violent dog headed men, their bloodthirsty and agile, simple and efficient killing instinct, make these evil creatures almost become war machines.
There are also loud alchemy products, Goblin mages who are skilled in using explosives and spells, and goblin mages who almost killed them. Judging from their equipment, they are just like engineers. This makes the adventure team completely lose the courage to face the pursuers.
When Elvin saw the priest Horne running in front, she suddenly stumbled. She hurried forward to hold him. When she touched Horne's hand, Elvin couldn't help shouting. She felt that her palm was as cold as a piece of ice.
”Horn! What happened?” Elvin took out the remaining scroll from his arms, and thankfully, there was a 'remove the curse'!
Horn stopped her, ”no! It's useless. My Lord is calling me. He revealed to me that my destiny has come! Don't look directly at him, don't look directly at helast. Black robe, don't spy on him from the long river of destiny, don't look directly at him, listen to me, darkness and peace are the best protection for you.”
”Those visions, does it bother you? What is it?” Elvin hugged him and tried to awaken the only vitality in his body with his meager body temperature.
”It's not an illusion, it's a part of reality! Our souls are so shallow that we can't look directly at the glory of our Lord. We are confused by the fleeting shadow on the surface of the material world. When the reality of the world really unfolds in front of us, we find that our shallow souls and pale life can't bear it.”
”Like an ugly man looking in the mirror for the first time, my God! I'm scared to death by myself! I'm scared to death by my ignorance and shallowness! I'm scared to death by my ugliness! My Lord, my lord Nubian! Don't abandon your poor lamb!”
Irwin was at a loss. She didn't know what disease horn had committed. He looked like he was cursed. Like those prophecy mages, he tried to spy on the existence they couldn't touch. Under the curse, her heart was in chaos. The pursuers behind her were getting closer and closer, but the road ahead was confused. She held horn and didn't know where to go.
In the dark, she leaned down in despair and stuck it on horn's chest. She felt the gradually peeling cold and pale. She prayed to the gods in despair: ”gods of the sky, earth and sea! Lord of the star world, who is my light in the dark? Who is my guide when confused?”
”Soul and personality are closely related to the outside world. What you see, hear and feel constitute your whole existence and the corridor of your soul. This understanding constitutes the outline of the soul!”
”Who are you?” Elvin was startled by the sudden sound.
