Between Sylutia's neck, light pink petals and vines appeared, intertwined with the black Man-Snake Pattern, and the two forces fought endlessly.

At this time, Sylutia felt that her body was unstable, and the two forces were constantly intertwined. She endured the discomfort, continued to use Astral Travel, and kept away from the area. After that, she finally lost strength and fell from the sky.

A Beholder was released from the sealed Picture Book, caught Sylutia, and then carried her down slowly. This place was far away from the area where Two-Headed Serpent was active, and a few rocks and hillsides could be seen around it.

Carrying the girl on its back, the spherical Beholder shuttled between the mountain cols, then found a suitable corner and slowly lowered the girl down.

At this moment, Sylutia also regained some consciousness. She leaned against the mountain wall, gathered her energy, recalled what she had seen in "Melancholy Praying in the Lake", and used the power of "Radiant Moon" to suppress the curse in her body.

Cool dew fell from the girl's shadow, Purification her body exuded an ominous aura, and with Sylutia's own efforts, the "Fairy's blessing" in her body gradually gained the upper hand, slowly curbing the spread of the curse.

What follows is a long struggle. Sylutia continues to gather the power of "Radiant Moon" to suppress the curse in the body bit by bit.

About six hours later, she managed to hold herself up, clasped her hands together, and the starlight flashed through her eyes. The terrifying curse was finally suppressed and sealed.

A dark card slowly appeared in front of her eyes, turning over and over.

[Heikuis Curse·Body-Eating Snake] (Level 4·Nightmare·Dead Ember): A terrifying curse that has special effects on the human race and is difficult to resist. The person who is cursed will be swallowed by the black snake that emerges from his body. (Usable times: 1/1)

The curse was finally solved. Sylutia looked at the card with lingering fear. There was a shadow of a figure on it, and the neck, body, and thighs of the figure were wrapped with black Man-Snake Pattern. The terrifying Man snake seemed to come to life at any time.

Just that Black Serpent message could affect lives within dozens of miles around, causing them to suffer curses and die. Sylutia finally had a deeper understanding of the existence of those high-level beings.

However, even among Sixth Order, Heikuis Larva is extremely special and powerful. It is a continuation of the legend. It is blessed by the legend and can exert extraordinary power when facing humans. If such a Two-Headed Serpent appears on the surface, I am afraid that one Two-Headed Serpent can easily destroy the entire kingdom and no one can stop it.

After regaining his breath, Sylutia slowly stood up, moved his body a little, and then took out the high-end food he had stored to replenish his strength.

She lit a small bonfire, heated the food slightly, and then slowly ate the pastries and meat pies. Waves of warm power slowly filled her body, freeing her from the sequelae of the Nightmare curse.

After recovering, Sylutia did not leave immediately, but slept in this safe place for one night.

The next day, Sylutia first sent out several Beholder to observe the situation, and then slowly left the mountain col where they were hiding.

Where are we? After flying in the boundless darkness for a while, Sylutia found that he was lost. After all, there was nothing to refer to here.

At this time, Sylutia remembered what Dorothy had given her before. She dug out the gold-copper-toned "Astrolabe", placed it right, and let it sense the surrounding environment.

This Astrolabe was first chaotic Rotation, then its speed slowly slowed down, and finally its multiple star tracks slowly stabilized somewhere.

After determining the position with the help of Astrolabe, Sylutia finally understood his current position and orientation.

Now she could return. She put away Astrolabe, looked at the direction of "Two-Headed Serpent", and prepared to evacuate.

But at this time, several gorgeous comets flew across the dark sky, causing her pace to slow down.

"That's..." She felt multiple powerful beings from it, and they were all above Sixth Order.

The direction in which these four gorgeous comets were flying was exactly where Two-Headed Serpent was. They seemed to be slow, but in fact they descended from the sky at a terrifying speed, slowly restraining the flying giant snake.

Feeling the fierce conflict of power, Sylutia finally couldn't bear her curiosity and quietly flew over there, but this time she didn't get too close. She was 20 kilometers away, relying on [Mist-Piercing Pupil] to check the fierce battle in the center.

This is the limit of her observation power, or the result of the blessing of various abilities such as [Identification Pupil][Alien Star Perception][Verdant Pupil].

Facing the terrifying giant snake, four figures were intertwined and fighting with it. The most eye-catching one was a tall bloody giant with dark red lava-like skin and four huge and ferocious horns on his head. He was about 100 feet tall. Hundreds of meters away, he was holding a huge red stone ax of the same height and slashing and fighting. With every breath, smoke-like flames overflowed from his mouth and nose. Under his giant ax, the scales and flesh on Two-Headed Serpent's body flew away, and he screamed in anger.

[Demon Dragon Berserker](Sixth Order·Dragon Eye·Beast Fang)

"The warrior who drank the dragon's blood, his body originally blessed by "Beast Fang" Aspect Power, became even larger, with terrifying power, and the sword he wielded could easily split mountains."

It seems that this person is not a human being, but Orc. Later, he drank dragon blood and gained part of Dragon's power. He was not afraid of Two-Headed Serpent's curse, Sylutia silently guessed.

Then she turned her gaze to the other side, where flashing fireflies were flying all over the sky. These fireflies were controlled by a white-haired Bard, who had pointed ears and should be Elf. Under his command, the fireflies circled the giant snake, shuttled back and forth, and constantly alternated positions with the other three people, allowing his companions to avoid the giant snake's attack.

When Sylutia looked at him, the Elf poet seemed to notice his gaze, smiled at her, and then continued to play the lyre in his hand to encourage his companions and strengthen their state.

[Firefly-Stained Poet](Sixth Order·Emerald Nectar·Insect Moth)

"Poets who are good at manipulating fireflies can use fireflies to achieve many wonderful effects, whether they are sounds, illusions, changing positions, arranging magic circles, casting spells, etc."

On the other side, there is Witch with long dark green hair. Her complexion and skin are blue, her face is delicate, she is wearing a gray-frost robe, her sleeves are fluttering in the strong wind, then she opens her long and slender fingers and performs strange secret techniques. From time to time, emerald green flames appear, fly out of her hands, and burn the open wounds on Two-Headed Serpent's body.

[Witch of the Forest Charm](Sixth Order·Dead Ember·Emerald Nectar)

"The powerful Witch, who has been fused with the bloodline of "Tree Charm", can use the power of Tree Charm to control large trees and cast charms, and fuse the power of Dead Ember to make the cultivated plants and manipulated spells possess strange toxins."

All wounds burned by her emerald flames spread strange toxins. Even if Two-Headed Serpent itself is a highly poisonous snake, it is not immune. These strange toxins gradually spread throughout the snake's body, weakening its power.

The remaining figure was very familiar to Sylutia. It was the commander Taos whom he had seen before, that is, the leader of "Iron Wall Crown Furnace". At this moment, he was fully armored, holding the "Steel-Breaking Sword" in his hand, and was killing with all his strength. Unexpectedly, he had been promoted to Sixth Order not long ago.

[Knight of the Iron Crown](Sixth Order·Castle·Gold Steam)

The gray steel armor covers the body and is extremely thick. From the gaps in the helmet, fiery breath spurts out from time to time. Then the broad sword he holds is hot and dark red veins gradually spread across the sword body.

When the bloody horned giant in front smashed Great Serpent's head hard, causing him to faint and fall, the gray steel Knight raised the red giant sword high. For a moment, a surging heat wave spread from the sword body, shining like a red-hot iron.

"I hereby swear..."

The loud oath resounded through the sky, and incandescent light bloomed from the blade of the sword. The rising light briefly pierced the dark sky and reached the endless sky above Cloud Sea.

"Steel-Breaking Sword" was unsealed here, and the oath to expel Dusk Beast echoed across heaven and earth. Countless figures of Knight who responded to the oath emerged in the light, and then the bright sword blade swung down, swept across the sky, and cut off the huge snake head.
