Ms. Elune is here!
"When I close my eyes now, I can hear the mournful cry that comes from under the abyss. It is Holy Song with sadness and nostalgia. It is a sound that Naaru rarely make. She must have witnessed many tragedies falling in front of her eyes, but she was unable to stop it.
She may have been a part of those tragedies, but she was not favored by fate. When the final defeat came, she rushed to the sacred fall with her compatriots.
I know, Venthyr people have hidden a lot of Naaru fragments.
Those treasures that are incompatible with this gloomy place are hidden under the palace of Sire Denathrius. In the darkness that never sees the light of day, the most daring and rebellious psychic researchers hide there.
Following the orders of their evil master, they study the miracle of Holy Light day after day.
They try to interpret the power of Holy Light using the method of concentration of hearts, and arrogantly try to use this sacred power for their own use, which is really blasphemous!"
Not far from Ashen Wilds, in the hunting territory of Sin Lord Dreadhunter.
Diakum held a corona-like warhammer and swept through this less than luxurious area like a storm. After defeating the Venthyr who were guarding the place, he kicked a mediocre anima vampire to the ground.
He stepped on this guy with his feet and said a lot like Priest preaching. Then he lowered his head and looked at this guy with a frightened face.
he asked:
"Although I know that there are such researchers in every force camp, and Arcane Force has gone particularly far in this regard, I can't understand why the vampires of Land of the Dead have to play with these powers that can easily incinerate them?
Don't they understand what "playing with fire and self-immolation" means?
I'm really curious, can you give me an answer, Your Excellency?"
Venthyr who was asked the question was almost scared to death.
He screamed for mercy, but Diakum looked at the pretender in front of him who reflected the image of Dreadlord in his own eyes.
He saw two fears in this guy's eyes.
A copy of the extremely superb "professional ethics" from the Nathrezims, who must disguise themselves as a frightened Venthyr civilian under such circumstances.
Another more real fear comes from the fact that this Dreadlord really didn't expect that he would run back to Shadowlands and actually meet this damn "Light Butcher"! What a surprise of fate!
"Very good, it seems you recognize me."
Diakum put away the war hammer that was so hot that it could incinerate everything, and took a step back.
When the latter turned into Dispersion, a bat flying in the sky, his left hand moved forward to cover the cold void and turned into Antimatter Claws. He suddenly reached into the bat and grabbed something. He threw it hard, and Dreadlord, who was trying to escape, was thrown to the ground.
Judging from the way he vomited blood when he landed, at least half of his bones were broken.
"Where do you want to run?" Corruptor"Sasoval."
Vigilant called the void to turn into chains and tied up the miserable Nathrezim. He said with some nostalgia:
"If I remember correctly, you were the first demon I saw on Argus Land, and you were also the first Nathrezim I encountered.
We are really destined.
The first Dreadlord I caught when I came to Shadowlands was also you, but don't worry, your journey will be over soon.
I mean, the end of eternity."
"Don't be arrogant! Light Butcher! You stand on top of my Lord's Holy Land. All sins are controlled by Him. This is your last journey, and I am only the first step."
Corruptor Sasoval, who was trapped by the shackles of the void, knew that he would definitely not survive, just like the demons were really dead when they were killed in Twisting Nether, in Shadowlands Dreadlord who was killed by has really used up his last "Resurrection Scroll", and Dreadlord who died in his hometown will also return to Revendreth.
Since they knew they were doomed, these cunning people didn't even try to beg for mercy.
If someone else catches them, they might be able to try to save them, but if they fall into the hands of Diakum, simply dying is a luxury.
Vigilant is the Saint of People of Light, but it is the devil of the devils.
"Death? You are thinking too much."
Dick was too lazy to pay attention to this Dreadlord's excessive inner drama. He waved his left hand Antimatter Claws to tear open a temporary void crack and smash this Dreadlord was thrown in, then turned around and left the hunting ground destroyed by the "Holy Light Storm", and very gentlemanly dragged out several Venthyr hunters who were buried under the rubble.
No attempt was made to treat them.
Using sunlight to cure vampires? What kind of hell joke is this?
Vigilant didn't stay nearby either. He summoned his own K'hakh, Legend of the Abyss, and with the help of this void vehicle that could not be tracked or sensed and could jump freely in the shadows, he spent several hours wandering around the villages and towns throughout Revendreth.
Stonewright's manor is his last stop.
This place is not far from Castle Nathria. It is basically equivalent to a manor within the first ring of the capital. It is said that the distance from the core of power determines the status in the power system. It can be seen that Stonewright's status in Revendreth is really quite transcendent.
Especially the two Stoneborn magic sculptures standing at the entrance of her large manor.
Good guy!
There is only one "Howling Wing" at the entrance of the emperor's palace. Your pomp is even more impressive than Sire Denathrius. Isn't this specification a bit overstepping its bounds?
When Diakum jumped out of the shadows driving K'hakh, Legend of the Abyss, the two Stoneborn demons guarding the entrance to the manor immediately started to move.
The stone statue, which was a majestic mixture of an orangutan, a giant wolf and a bat, peeled off pieces at this moment, and the blood-colored gem eyes also rotated and stared at Diakum who was striding forward. The powerful Stoneborn demon obviously did not allow unregistered visitors to disturb their creator and "mother".
But just when these two ferocious giant beasts were about to stand up to meet the enemy, the cold wind of the void blew in the floating shadows, freezing them with their claws raised in the beautiful and artistic "black ice".
Vigilant didn't even use the illusion of Eclipse. Just blowing in the void calmed the two "guard puppies".
He wanted to behave decently, so he stretched out his hand and placed it on the closed luxury railing door in front of him. He stretched out his hand and pushed it gently. With a bang, the iron door of Stonewright Manor flew out.
This made Diakum stunned.
No, why is the daily maintenance of such a large manor so poor?
How long has it been since this iron gate was maintained?
The fixed bolts are weathered.
Revendreth's mud servants don't cost any money. As a big shot like you, why not hire a few to tidy up your house?
This is too shabby!
Dick felt that he had encountered a "touch" at this moment, thinking that if Stonewright shouted "Rat! You broke my door" and then jumped out and gave himself a Death Moonfire, would he fight or run?
Before he could finish thinking about it, Stoneborn, whose head was carved into a shape that looked very much like Arakkoa, rushed out quickly, saluted Diakum, and motioned for him to follow him.
This Stoneborn hunter is obviously not finished yet. It is just a stone sculpture and has not been painted. It is probably the "child" just made by Stonewright.
Its appearance meant that Stonewright already knew about Dick's visit and had no intention of pursuing Vigilant's "rudeness", which made Dick relieved.
He followed this Stoneborn into the manor hall.
It was supposed to be a luxurious banquet place, but now it has been transformed into a very large "stone carving studio". Stones of various shapes and materials are everywhere, as well as design drawings all over the walls. Several little Stoneborns are organizing tools nearby.
In the center of the carved hall, a woman wearing hunting boots and breeches, a Venthyr shirt and a small vest is facing away from the guests.
She seemed to be thinking about how to continue the half-finished stone carving in front of her. She had a chisel and carving hammer dotted with sinful red stones in her hands. Her body was covered with stone chips and dust but she was not aware of it. She revealed the wandering air of a "great artist".
Diakum respected the courtesy of the guests and did not disturb Stonewright's thoughts, but admired the unfinished works around him.
It has to be said that if stone sculptures also have quality classifications, then these stone statues carved by Stonewright are undoubtedly "mythical" works of art. Even Holy Light Cannon like Diakum can read the different moods of the sculptor and the emotions she wants to express from the different shapes of these stone sculptures.
Dick tried hard not to look at Stonewright, not only to maintain the gentleman's demeanor, but also because Stonewright is a lady with great character.
After all, few women can perfectly control the avant-garde hairstyle of "bald head".
But Stonewright is undoubtedly one of them.
Her head was smooth and barren, and she only wore a Venthyr style gem ring. Perhaps because she was immersed in the art of stone forging, she felt that long hair was difficult to manage and a waste of time, so she simply shaved it off.
Of course, this may also come from the past traditions. It is not difficult to understand that among some more martial races, warlike women choose to keep their heads bald in order to express their toughness.
"I have received a letter from Ardenweald before. A group of holy spirits who are still loyal to Elune after death invited me to join the "Night Warrior Association Shadowlands Branch" they formed. The name sounds inappropriate, like a prank played by goblins.
So I think they're just asking for trouble."
A cold voice sounded in the hall, accompanied by the chisel scratching the rock. Stonewright said:
"If you are visiting here for the same reason, then I advise you to go back. My fate with Ms. Elune has ended. After I have endured too much pain and despair for Moon Goddess and Consecration, now I just want to live a relaxed life."
"Well, your speech is really scary, but by "easy life" do you mean living in a country full of conspirators and allowing yourself to be beguiled and played by a leader who tells lies?"
Diakum smiled.
He didn't explain much, just casually tore open the void rift, and amidst the roars of the Stoneborns, the five trapped Dreadlords were released.
These unlucky ghosts suffered mental corrosion and impact in the void rift, and they will be released with some unclear minds.
Two of the impulsive ones actually flew out and tried to kidnap Stonewright. Although they recognized the true identity of the "bald woman" in front of them halfway through the flight, they backed away with fear on their faces. However, before the iconic bat incarnation could lead them away, the cold blue Moonfire suddenly broke out in the hall.
Under the gaze of Diakum "appreciating the execution", four of the five Dreadlord were annihilated on the spot.
Although it is not as hot as Holy Light, the unique Moonfire formed by mixing "death" and "moonlight" at the same time is indeed astonishingly lethal. The Nathrezims, who are known for their stoicism, were killed in a matter of seconds, which fully proves that the strength of Stonewright is simply "unfathomable".
No wonder Sire Denathrius tolerated her unsociability and arrogance. After doing this for a long time, Revendreth discovered that there was a guy hidden in this Revendreth earth that the emperor could not afford to offend.
Although it is not impossible to defeat, after all, Stonewright accepted Sin Medallion, which carries the power of the emperor. Her individual body has been tied to Revendreth, and she will naturally be suppressed and restrained by the emperor. But you can see from this Moonfire that even after death, Stonewright is still loved by Ms. Elune.
This means that when necessary, she can use the power of "Death Moon" to counter the power of forgiveness of Denathrius.
"The Exiled! How dare you set foot on this land again?"
Stonewright held the chisel in one hand and the forging hammer in the other, staring at the trembling Dreadlord with a tone of extreme disgust. The latter was pinned to the ground by a circle of Stoneborn and did not dare to raise his head at all.
To be honest, the fear Nathrezim showed when facing Stonewright was even more profound and vivid than when they faced Diakum.
"Speak, Stonewright is asking you."
Diakum leaned against the pillar in the hall and said in a joking tone to "Corruptor" Sasoval who was being held there:
"If you don't say it now, it will be too late by the time you are escorted in front of the Emperor by Stonewright. I guess a leader like the Emperor might not like stupid subordinates who can't even disguise themselves and cause trouble for themselves every day, right?
Tell Stonewright!
How many hidden Nathrezim are there among the current Revendreth and Shadowlands!"
"I I can't say!"
Sasoval is in despair.
But it is still gritting its teeth and preparing to fight to the end. These creatures are absolutely loyal to their creator. This is the "underlying logic" written in Dreadlord's bones. They themselves cannot do anything to betray Sire Denathrius.
Unfortunately, the problem is that Stonewright doesn't need a specific answer at all.
When she saw a Nathrezim being brought to her, she already knew that Sire Denathrius had betrayed the oath he had made to her.
"In ancient times, Holy Light Invasion, it was because of your wanton behavior and prying into the secrets of Holy Light that you attracted the revenge of Naaru. In order to defend this dark land in that battle, my Stoneborn children survived the hard battle and not even a single one of them survived!
There are not only the fragments of Naarus in Ashen Wilds, but also the remains of Stoneborns that covered the earth and shaped into mountains! The entire Revendreth is crying for their casualties.
Denathrius promised me
He promises to banish the cause of the war from Shadowlands forever!"
Stonewright reached out and pinched Dreadlord's neck. She stared at those eyes full of cunning, fear and despair and said:
"But He broke his promise, and you are back. Good, good! My children no longer have to endure the anger, and they can finally avenge the unjust deaths of their companions with their own hands."
No matter where you hide, Nathrezim, my children will find you and tear you apart."
"Bang"
The forged stone chisel inlaid with gorgeous bloodstone was pierced into Dreadlord's skull. Stonewright pressed it with his fingers, rotated it, and inserted it slowly and firmly to the end.
During the whole process, Dreadlord couldn't make a sound and could only die miserably under the oppression of Stoneborn.
This horrific execution caused blood to splatter, but Stonewright just wiped her cheek with a handkerchief quite nonchalantly. She threw it away casually, and the dead Nathrezim fell to the ground like a torn bag, and under the influence of some kind of force, it quickly turned into a broken stone statue with a trace of sadness and fear.
"It was their misbehavior that drew Holy Light's punishment last time. This time Holy Light is chasing them again. These Nathrezim are really the source of Revendreth's misfortune."
Stonewright threw the blood-stained handkerchief on the broken stone statue, just like covering the coffin.
She looked at Diakum and said:
"Last time, your Naaru compatriots destroyed a third of Revendreth. How many are you going to destroy this time?"
"No plants or trees were harmed, only one sinful soul was taken away."
Diakum Baoxiang solemnly promised:
"The premise is that you and your Stoneborn descendants do not intervene, do not need to participate in the war, and just remain neutral."
"You are fighting in my home and asking me to be neutral? You are looking down on Revendreth. Even after the original Holy Light Invasion, the last strength of this land has been supported by my Stoneborn descendants."
Stonewright waved his hand, and under a silent command, the entire manor, the entire Castle Nathria and even the entire Revendreth's Stoneborns were ordered.
She said to Dick:
"I'm tired of a life full of betrayal, pain and despair. I just want to find a place to spend the rest of my life, and I don't want to listen to the ridiculous arguments of careerists anymore.
Take Denathrius away!
This earth would not be a better place without Him.
You take Him away, and I will help you complete the task of salvation. Other Night Warrior have told me what you want to do. They are eager to save a compatriot.
OK.
Just think of it as my return of favor to you, and give Ms. Elune her last Consecration."
