Chapter 622 Ancient Card
Chapter 622 Ancient Card
The three of them used their own means to get on the road, with a huge black bird transformed from a black crow leading the way.
In the air, Legila's voice was heard:
“Black Crow and I were once members of a force called the Ancient Cards. This force was originally established by an old knight king. All members uphold justice and punish darkness in darkness.
“Ancient Cards have played an important role in every era, and our high-end forces have become stronger and stronger. At the peak, the captain of the Ancient Cards even possessed the power of level nine.
“However, it was also during the time when the Ancient Cards were at their most prosperous that those who secretly feared and hated us also completed their evil plans.
"An eighth-level dark magician named Leidhar got the remains of a terrifying creature called Chaos from somewhere. He used the remaining chaotic power in the universe and wanted to revive the chaotic creature as his puppet.
“He should have a fear of the unknown. Such behavior not only harmed him, but also almost harmed several local kingdoms.
"The kings jointly requested the Ancient Cards to take action to eliminate Redhar. At that time, the Ancient Cards conducted an investigation and determined the degree of danger Redhar was in, so the strongest captain personally went into battle.
"However, even so, they still failed to completely destroy the madman. In the end, Gu sacrificed 25 senior members, including the captain, to drag the monster into the depths of the universe.
Later we learned that their wills were united into one god, but the remaining evil thoughts of Redhar turned into another existence, which has been affecting the main body. It was not until now that we received the information that Redhar had completely dragged the main body into corruption and turned it into an evil god. "
After saying this, the three of them had already arrived outside a castle that was hidden and protected by some force.
"This is the site of the ancient plaque. It must have come here." Glenn stood in front of the ruins of the ancient plaque, his eyes sweeping over the castle that was eroded by time but still majestic.
The towering tower looked particularly lonely under the gray sky, as if telling of its past glory and tragedy. A faint energy barrier surrounded the castle, apparently some kind of ancient magic was protecting it.
"Why is it here?" Glenn asked, turning his gaze to Black Crow and Legila.
The black crow slowly folded its wings and transformed into a human form, saying in a deep voice: “This is the headquarters of the Ancient Cards, and it is also the place where the captain and Leidhar had their final battle.
Even though the fallen god has lost his mind, his instincts will drive him back here, looking for some kind of...end."
Legila took over the conversation with a hint of sadness in her voice: "Perhaps it wants to find relief here, or...it wants to completely destroy this place and erase its former glory and pain."
Glenn nodded, feeling a heavy weight in his heart.
He knew that what they were about to face was not just a fallen god, but also a forgotten history and an inescapable fate.
"Let's go in." Black Crow said, raising his hand and waving it. The energy barrier in front of the castle fluctuated slightly, and then an entrance opened.
The three of them stepped into the castle, and the scene inside made them hold their breath.
In the hall, the ancient murals are still clearly visible, depicting the heroic deeds of the ancient members.
However, the walls were covered with cracks, and broken weapons and armor were scattered on the ground, as if silently telling of the tragic battle.
"This... used to be our home," Legila said softly, her fingers gently stroking a wall, a hint of nostalgia in her eyes.
Black Crow said nothing more and walked straight towards a huge stone door deep in the hall.
The stone door was engraved with complex runes, and a dim crystal was embedded in the center.
He placed his hand on the crystal and whispered an ancient spell.
As the spell ended, the stone door slowly opened, revealing a staircase leading underground.
At the end of the stairs, a low roar could be heard faintly, as if some giant creature was awakening in the depths.
"It's right down there," Black Crow said, with a hint of determination in his tone.
Glenn didn't know what to say, so he just took a deep breath and said, "Let's go, maybe I can help him."
Glenn was not very sure about Chaos, who he had only seen once in the Supreme Court. Since he could oppose the Supreme Court, the nature of his power might be very special.
The three of them walked down the stairs. The deeper they went, the heavier the air around them became, as if even breathing became difficult.
At the end of the stairs is a huge underground space with a huge altar standing in the center.
On the altar, a vague figure is slowly taking shape.
It was a huge, twisted creature, its body made of darkness and chaos, as if countless broken souls were struggling within it.
Its eyes emitted a scarlet light, and its gaze was filled with endless resentment and pain.
"You... are finally here..." The creature made a low voice, mixed with the wails and roars of countless people.
"Captain..." Black Crow whispered, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
"No... I'm not your captain, nor am I Reidhar... I'm... Chaos..." The creature's voice became more distorted, as if it was resisting something.
Legila took a step forward, her voice firm but gentle: "No matter what you become, we will help you get rid of it. This is our responsibility and our promise."
Glenn didn't say anything, but he could feel that although the creature in front of him was full of destructive power, it seemed that there was still a trace of rationality deep in its heart.
"Liberation...?" The creature's voice suddenly became sharp, "No... I don't need liberation... I need... destruction!"
As it roared, the entire underground space began to vibrate violently, and countless dark energies burst out from its body, sweeping towards the three people.
"Be careful!" The black crow shouted, spread its wings, and stood in front of Legila and Glenn.
The dark energy hit his wings, making a sharp tearing sound.
Legila quickly chanted a spell, and a golden light bloomed from her hands, turning into a barrier that temporarily blocked the dark energy out.
Glenn quickly waved his hand and created a cage made of curse around him. The cage had divine power and if the monster on the opposite side was within the rules, it could be easily trapped.
The moment the cage was formed, a powerful repressive force pressed down on the creature.
The curse struck its body, causing a violent explosion.
However, when the smoke cleared, the creature was still standing, but the dark energy within it had become even more violent.
