To clarify, I'm not a fanatic
When the eternal night of Eclipse quietly fell, it did not immediately attract the attention of everyone fighting fiercely in Castle Nathria.
They were all eager to kill their enemies immediately, so they didn't have much time to pay attention to whether the light around the battlefield was changing. Only those keen ones noticed something bad immediately, but they were not given more opportunities to react. After a few moments, all the light in Castle Nathria was "extinguished" at this moment.
The flame is still burning, but it no longer emits light and heat. The flame that has lost its "life" is beating and turning into black ashes. The shadows in the palace are growing, screaming, and expanding.
They are endowed with a gluttonous hunger, eager to punish and devour everyone who rashly walks into the darkness.
Those closest to the window looked out the window, and were startled by the Black Sun in the sky. Only the pale corona was left in that round of Sunflare, which looked like a ruthless black eye hanging in the sky, coldly examining the insects on the ground.
They saw the Eclipse, so in the next second, Light of Life was taken away, and they were smashed down like stones one by one, with a muffled thump that echoed throughout the surroundings.
Venthyr, who do not believe in evil, seem to have not realized what kind of indifferent force they are facing. Faced with the fierce attack of Stoneborn, these guys still use the flexible Crimson Gate to shuttle back and forth in the shadows, hoping to find a chance to win.
However, as Stonewright yelled at the order asking Stoneborn to retreat immediately, the former Night Warrior looked at the surrounding darkness with a horrifying look.
She keenly captured those Venthyrs that flashed into the darkness, just like they jumped into the deep sea and never came out again.
They seemed to have returned to their "happy hometown", immersed in the warm night, fell into a sweet eternal sleep and never wanted to wake up.
At the same time that Eclipse arrived, Stonewright's body was surrounded by dim moonlight.
This was her last contact with Moon Goddess after her death. Since she decided to bury the past with death, she rarely used the power of Night Warrior. However, at this moment, the uncontrollable flying of these moonlights seemed to be a warning to Stonewright to immediately evacuate the place where Eclipse was shed.
As the most powerful Night Warrior, Stonewright immediately understood the warning conveyed by the moonlight.
She did not dare to delay and immediately gave the order to retreat to her Stoneborn children.
The good news is, they don't need to retreat too far.
The Eclipse summoned by Diakum is only shrouded in Castle Nathria. As long as you evacuate this palace, you will be safe.
The bad news is that even escape across this wall is not as simple as Stoneborn people think.
Eclipse is clearly not a "smart concept".
It does not distinguish between friend and foe.
Maybe it can, but the cold night refuses to let go of any food that enters its Abyssal Maw. Just like those people who know the dangers of the night but still want to walk alone in the darkness, they should be prepared to face some risks when leaving the envelope of warm candlelight.
You've already come, so why are you so anxious to leave?
"Go quickly!!! Don't delay, don't look back and don't look up! Let's go!"
Stonewright threw away the weapon in his hand, and recited Elune's prayer to call for the moonlight to spread as if he were still alive, spreading the dim but real moonlight protection to all the Stoneborns around him.
Even the Stoneborns, whose brains are carved from real stone and are not very good at thinking, have now realized where their "mother"'s panic comes from.
They also noticed those Venthyrs that would "disappear" as soon as they flashed into the darkness.
These psychic vampires often boast of their good relationship with darkness as "Midnight Hunters", but at least at this moment, the night "falls out" with them.
With their little adaptability to darkness, they can't even protect, let alone pull, the Taotie Yongye who has truly come to life.
If you jump in, you will die.
It's not the kind of clean and tidy death.
"Ah! Help me!"
A shrill scream sounded from high up. Under the gaze of Stonewright, who was presiding over the moonlight ceremony to assist Stoneborn in evacuating, a "black" guy screamed and fell from the darkness high in the palace.
The undead one hit Stonewright not far away.
That guy was still struggling to maintain Human Form, but under Stonewright's horrifying gaze, the skin and blood bones of this Venthyr master of sin had been transformed into a form composed of Black Embers that remained after the flames burned through the extraction and reshaping of darkness.
It's like "ashes turning into spirit".
Every time it struggles on the ground, the ashes on its body will peel off and collapse. It is in pain. It wants to get rid of this hideous and terrifying night, but it cannot see any light to protect itself.
When it raised its head with difficulty and stretched out its hand towards Stonewright, which was shrouded in moonlight in the darkness, the Angry Reaper finally recognized who the unlucky ghost in front of him was.
Lady Inerva·Dark Vein
This is the head of the Dark Vein family who had firmly surrendered to the Sire Denathrius camp before Prince Renathal came forward to integrate the Venthyr nobles.
She is a quite radical opportunist, always proud of her own vision and decision-making. Obviously, in today's power transition, this lady believes that hugging Sire Denathrius's thigh can help her and her family go further.
Unfortunately, gamblers will always lose everything on a huge gamble that affects their lives and fortunes, and it has nothing to do with their gambling skills.
It's just fate.
"Help me and let your light cover me. Please!"
Inerva's eyes have long been unable to see.
The moment Eclipse descended, she was deprived of all vision. In this dark night where all the light of life, mental energy and will was extinguished and swallowed up, she knew that she could only survive if she returned to the light.
She crawled hard in the gloomy and tugging night, and every step she took would peel away some of the ashes from her body.
Stonewright did not move away, just watching Lady Inerva approaching him.
She is lonely and has no friendship with this guy. She is very hesitant to give him a hand, not out of interests, but just out of her own bottom line.
Killing people is just a nod, so why let them suffer such indescribable pain? Is there such an indifferent soul hidden under Diakum the Saint's glorious appearance?
Stonewright hesitated.
She didn't want to anger Diakum who was imposing "punishment", so she chose to stand by and watch, but this was actually a "rescue".
At the moment when the "hand of ashes" raised by Lady Inerva fell into the moonlight, all arms illuminated by the moonlight were shaped from ashes and transformed back into skinny flesh and blood anima bodies.
As long as the lady crawls into the moonlight on her own, she can be saved!
However, at this moment, a waved Stoneborn magic wand hit Lady Inerva hard on the head, sending the poor creature who was only one step away from the light back into the eternal night.
Then, shrill screams and curses rang out in the thick darkness.
Stonewright knew that the guy was finished and she had lost her last chance.
"Are you crazy?!"
Azshara's scolding sounded from the side.
The supreme queen strode forward wearing the glory of Arcane, grabbed Stonewright by the collar, and pulled her towards her.
The queen's rage.
She scolded:
"How many lives do you have to dare to challenge Eclipse? How many courage do you have to dare to face Black Sun? If someone who has been swallowed up by the eternal night uses your hand to revive Light-Burning Ritual, you will become her substitute! These hanged ghosts are looking for a substitute, you idiot!
Do you really think that just because Elune is protecting you, you can run rampant in the eternal night?
I see you are really tired of living!
Even I don't dare. Ahem, my Court Advisor will not use such methods on his queen."
"I just I just."
Stonewright was shocked.
She has now noticed the ripples caused by her "meddling" just now. In the increasingly dead night around her, some "Death Angel" wearing gloomy robes, holding eternal night scythes, wearing triangular cone-shaped hoods, and decorated with faint blue Light Wings have appeared in the ashes.
These lifeless Dark Entitys that represent the concept of Eclipse are besieging Stonewright indifferently, blocking her from all sides.
Obviously, Yongye's desire is very dissatisfied with Stonewright's behavior of randomly disturbing the arrival of Eclipse.
They want to punish this meddlesome person who is sheltered by the moonlight.
"Don't explain it to me, explain it to them! See?"
Azshara sighed and said:
"Diakum has not fully mastered this power. Yongye's Taotie has his own desire. The stupid Denathrius must have angered him, otherwise my Court Advisor will never unleash this great power that symbolizes "ultimate suffering" here.
Elune Since I have given you a way out, leave quickly!
The matter has developed to this point, and we can no longer intervene, but this is fine. After the flushing of Eclipse Eternal Night is completed, the entire Castle Nathria will undoubtedly be clean.
I like a clean palace."
As he spoke, Azshara took out a Shadewalker emblem from his arms, which Diakum had given her before.
She held the emblem and signaled Stonewright to follow her.
The Queen held high her Court Advisor Shadow Badge, and the "Ashes Death Angel" created from Eclipse Eternal Night, after a brief confrontation, finally collapsed into ashes Dispersion in the night just as they appeared.
"Only this once!"
Azshara warned:
"Don't be stupid next time, be humble towards the power. In the eternal night of Eclipse, the only one you can save is yourself!"
Stonewright nodded fiercely, and then she asked:
"Vigilant declares that he will light the sun. If he fails to do it, then."
"Material Star Sea and Six Realms will fall into the Eclipse Eternal Night you see. As a result, the conspiracy of Void Lord will be realized, and the fate of the world will also be dumped into a stagnant future."
Azshara brushed his hair and said:
"Therefore, assisting Diakum in igniting the sun is not something we are willing to do. This is a great cause that is closely related to all living things under the sun. You should Consecration your strength for this, otherwise you, who have been "registered" with Eclipse Eternal Night, will definitely become the first victim when the era of disaster comes.
This Eclipse has taken advantage of the power of Taotie, making the eternal night it spreads become greedy.
In its eyes, your overestimating "ingredient" is obviously "delicious"."
Stonewright clenched her fists, not sure if it was anger or fear, but then she saw Azshara turned around and walked into the eternal night, and called out:
"What are you going to do? Shouldn't you stay under this light?"
"Your Queen has important matters to fulfill."
Azshara waved his hand without looking back and said:
"What's more, how many times in my life will I have the opportunity to see Eclipse sprinkle with my own eyes? This is an excellent opportunity for eternal night research and sample acquisition.
No need to worry about me.
As the supreme queen, even if I walk into the eternal night, I will always have some privileges that belong to me."
Azshara uttered a very powerful sentence, and then disappeared into the eternal night that completely enveloped Castle Nathria.
What is she going to do?
I feel ashamed to say it.
As a "poverty queen", Azshara feels that her national treasury is in urgent need of replenishment.
It happened that Sire Denathrius's taste had been approved by the queen, so she decided to imitate the little thieves in those stories and collect a wave of wool from the emperor as a treasure reserve for "rewarding ministers" in the future.
You can't have loyal ministers under your command do something good, but the queen has nothing to reward them with. This would be too embarrassing.
However, Queen Azshara wants to move forward gracefully in the eternal night full of dangers, but Demon Sword in his hand is not so obedient. The sword that pierced Denathrius's body before was far from enough to make up for Remornia's pain and despair of being abandoned.
Without personally shaping Denathrius's downfall, it would be impossible for the devil Swordswoman's evil breath to Dispersion.
Now the stupid emperor has angered Vigilant and made him use this terrifying "ultimate move", which means that Denathrius's life has begun to countdown.
Remornia is praying to his Mistress to give her a chance to witness the death of the heartless person.
Azshara decided to be a benevolent ruler in her second career as king, so the queen decided to satisfy her trivial desire for a sword.
She let go of her hand, letting the demon Swordswoman fly into the dangerous Eclipse Eternal Night, and then used a chic Teleportation Spell to let herself into the already chaotic but dead Castle Nathria.
The landing point is precise, right in the core area of the castle where Arch-Thief Rafaam is located.
Rafaam is almost scared to death!
"Don't come over!!!"
The Thief King let out a shrill cry, grabbing a strange staff with a lantern on the top in a horrified posture, and kept waving it against some heavy invisible object, letting the increasingly dim light protect himself in this Eclipse.
But its hiding places are shrinking fast.
If Azshara does not come, Rafaam will fall into the desperate situation of "swallowed by ashes" like other Venthyr in five minutes at most.
"Ah, I am the supreme, rescuing queen!"
Seeing Azshara appear with the brilliance of Arcane, Rafaam made a standard and perfect kneeling move, letting his knees slide forward and landed right at the feet of Azshara. He kowtowed shamelessly, letting the brilliance of Azshara envelope him, preventing him from being dragged into the desperate situation of eternal night.
"Get up! How unseemly, my captain of the royal thief."
Azshara kicked Rafaam and asked:
"Have Castle Nathria's core of magic been found?
If you find it, take me to the place where the energy of the castle converges. Don't just nod! We must quickly transfer the property rights of this castle to the noble hands who are more worthy of it before Denathrius is defeated.
Well, may the generous soul of Denathrius be mercifully judged in Eclipse, and wish him good luck."
"Your Majesty. Your Majesty! Save us."
A shrill cry came from the dark sky, and the four sin masters of "Castle Nathria Choir" who had been singing praises for Sire Denathrius's "Absolution Ritual" just now could only moan.
Facts have proved that no matter how good a musician is, he will not be very decent when he screams.
As the "first echelon" facing Eclipse, when the gluttonous eternal night fell, these four guys were dragged into the land of ashes without warning.
All the brilliance of their life, will and mental energy have been extinguished at this moment, and even their bodies have been reduced to ashes. What they are mourning is just the reverberation of Dispersion when they are annihilated.
Moreover, how can Sire Denathrius have time to take care of his subordinates now?
He himself was half dead in the earth.
This is really no exaggeration.
Denathrius looked at his left arm that had been completely "turned to ashes", and an unspeakable numbness was coming from his arm, which meant that Eternal Ones was about to lose part of his body.
So, even Divine Vessel shaped by First Ones can't resist the destruction and assimilation of Eclipse?
"You! What kind of monster are you?!"
The Emperor somewhat broke his guard and grabbed the wailing King's Sorrow with his right hand and pointed it forward.
He is also very tough. Even now, the Absolution Ritual that trapped Diakum has not been interrupted yet.
Surrounded by scarlet light, Diakum, who has completely entered the form of Eclipse, maintains the posture of spreading his hands and embracing the sun. He is suspended in the bloody light of forgiveness like the ruthless god of darkness. He does not even need to attack. Just maintaining the envelope of Eclipse Eternal Night is enough to kill all things.
Those awakened blood-debt bearers turned into grotesque ash stone pillars in all directions around him. Obviously, even sins have their own merits.
Denathrius knows that he has lost, not only in terms of strength, but also in the confrontation between concept and path.
But He was not willing to just admit defeat.
So he staggered and dragged King's Sorrow into the sin-absolution ceremony. He wanted to pierce Demon Sword into the heart of the "black sun" that attracted Eclipse Eternal Night.
Diakum has not taken any action.
He just maintained the chant of embracing the sun and watched Denathrius's final struggle with cold eyes. Under the illumination of the "black sun disk" with only a pale arc of light in the sky, the Accuser waved Demon Sword to launch the final piercing of Vigilant.
"Poof"
The sharp blade entered the body and blood splattered everywhere.
Under Diakum's indifferent gaze, Denathrius maintained an angry and ferocious face and fell down.
King's Sorrow fell to the side, and the broken Demon Sword Lemonia pierced the heart with a sword from behind with ruthless resentment, and then pierced it again from the front after turning a corner.
Repeat this thirteen times until a bloody hole is poked out of Sire Denathrius's chest.
He knelt down on the ground in shock and despair, trying hard not to let himself fall. In the last view, he saw Vigilant's feet falling, standing on the ground with a light posture.
He raised his head, looked at Diakum with a compassionate face, and heard the other person say:
"Say it."
"Your last words."
