After waking up

The existence of Shadow Demon is an extremely powerful means for Mulan. He can already control his consciousness relatively easily. Even if he needs to do two things at once, the existence of Gormos can save Mulan's mental energy.

Even if the first level of resonance is lifted and Gormos takes the lead, he will move closer to Mulan on his own initiative, of course, or closer to his powerful self.

Compared with the more risky attempt of directly and completely erasing the consciousness of Gormos, this method of gradually deepening the influence and making Gormos self-assimilate is undoubtedly safer and more solid.

Gormos hated his own weakness, hated his timidity, and longed to make changes. He made changes and hoped to achieve them overnight.

This is not Mulan's desire to seize the body, but Gormos's desire to become the "powerful self" under his independent yearning.

When Mulan did not interfere with the Shadow Demon, although Gormos was independent, he was still moving closer to that "self". Feeling this state of self-confidence for once, he could not do without. Mulan even dared to conclude that even if he could not summon Awakening "self", Gormos will also imitate and disguise.

The shadow demon began to change from the behavioral logic, thinking habits, and even the world formation and magic level. As the number of times increased, the degree continued to deepen, and finally it was completely assimilated.

When Mulan hints that Gormos resonates with himself, the Shadow Demon is Mulan, but Mulan is not the Shadow Demon. He is both the Shining Knight and the Shadow Demon.

Even for Mulan at this moment, to a certain extent, he is equivalent to having two lives. Even if the real Mulan dies, he can survive as a shadow demon and possess the power of light at the same time.

Compared with a puppet that needs to be completely controlled by strings, the Shadow Demon is so much better for Mulan that even if it is not completely dominant, every thought of Mulan can be implied into Gormos's own thoughts, and even Codes of conduct and beliefs.

By the Blue Moon Lake, when Mulan returned here alone, there were only some burning carriages and smoke that had not dispersed.

It can be seen that both sides of the previous war retreated in a hurry.

Mulan came to the steam tank and reached out to open the upper hatch. A wave of heat poured out from the inside. Inside were five shirtless men, four of whom actually still had a faint breath.

Observing the cabin of the steam tank, Mulan then reached out and pulled out the four people one by one.

Although they are not extraordinary people, the four people's combat qualities and will are far beyond ordinary people, but they have been eroded by the holy power.

These people who dare to attack the train in the temple are definitely not ordinary people, let alone they can drive steam tanks.

As for appearing together with Sylven, one possibility is to use the relationship, and the other is to have a subordinate relationship. Maybe they can understand Sylven through them. Even if not, Mulan feels that the Shadow Demon is in the hinterland of Basman, and it is best to have him by his side. There are some people who are familiar with this place.

"You are lucky."

It was not advisable to stay here for a long time, so he tied up the four of them with a few clothes and pants in the car. Mulan also picked up the four of them and left here quickly. He did not bring a lot of clothes. Compared to those clothes with an exaggerated smell, two cowhide kettles might be better. More important.

It won't be long before someone from the Sanctuary or Basman's side will come here.

If one can be considered a true transcendent when he or she has stepped into reality, then those who have transcended the stage of abundance are, in a broad sense, true high-level transcendent. Their use of power is no longer limited to traditional magic books and often has its own unique understanding. .

Normally, extraordinary beings of this type often have their own influence and cannot be taken lightly. Once the news tonight spreads, it will definitely attract a considerable degree of attention and must not be underestimated.

Don't think that extraordinary people can really do whatever they want. The balance of today's world has been gradually adapted to and established over a long period of time. What makes extraordinary people afraid to take action at will is not only the threat of the other world, but also a default order.

And there are other reasons that could force Mullan to leave.

He went deep into the Blue Moon Forest and kept moving all night. He didn't know how far he had left. He only knew that the terrain of the forest was no longer flat. He only knew that hills and mountains appeared in front of him. After advancing for a considerable distance, Mu Lan found a depression in the mountain and stopped.

At this point, the crows in my mind finally disappeared completely.

Mullan does not think that he has overused his power, but the opponent's reaction and ability in actual combat are not always predictable.

The four people, including the red hair, were placed on the ground. Mulan looked at the four people who were not wearing much clothes. The cold in winter would kill them.

Soon, a bonfire was lit by Mulan, and he found some withered grass to cover the four of them.

A few minutes later, although the four were weak, their breathing and physical signs were obviously much better.

The bonfire burned quietly, and sticks were thrown into the fire from time to time to maintain the flame and temperature.

Mulan put his hands on his knees and stared blankly at the flames, as if he could spend a long time just looking at them.

"Uh, water, water."

A withered voice sounded beside Mulan. The red-haired man woke up first, and the strongest feeling was burning thirst.

Mulan had already anticipated this situation, and threw a cowhide kettle directly to the red-haired man. The latter didn't care much, pulled out the stopper tremblingly, and drank hard while the water poured down his head and face.

"Coo, coo, coo, coo"

The water was not cold, it had been warmed by the campfire.

"Ho, ho, ho"

After drinking half the bag, the red-haired man calmed down. He swayed a little, put down the kettle and looked around, then looked at Mulan beside the bonfire. This man was not his employer, and he was obviously not from the church.

"Why am I here?"

Mulan turned his head and looked at the red hair.

"You don't remember the attack on the train before?"

"I remember, but I only remember what happened before the coma. Was it you who saved us?"

The red-haired man began to think that he was the only one here except for the stranger in front of him. Now his eyes had found the other three companions, which made him feel slightly relieved.

"So be it."

The redhead wanted to ask a lot of things, but after a few seconds of silence, he just said "thank you".

Mulan again threw a piece of wood into the fire.

"You don't need to thank me. If you hadn't attacked the train in the temple, I wouldn't have been able to escape from the trap."

Talking to the Bishop of the Holy Church is one thing, but the actual situation is another. Even if there are some plans, Mulan does not want to try to get out of trouble in the Holy Mountain, even if there may be more people who used to be Aiwen in the Holy Mountain. Clues and clues about the sacred objects, but the risk is too great. The current Shadow Demon is much more important to Mulan.

And in the middle of the journey, Gormos has accepted his "true self", so naturally he doesn't need the help of the desperate environment of the Holy Mountain.

The red-haired man immediately figured out the whole story. It turned out that the second temple train was used to hold prisoners. Although he rescued this man by accident, he actually rescued him and his brother. For this reason, the red-haired man felt that The person in front of him is not bad, at least to him, well, the Holy Church is indeed not a good thing!

"Oops, Gem!"

Mulan's mouth twitched, he wanted money rather than his life.

"Sorry, I didn't realize you had any valuables left. It's obviously not appropriate to go back now."

The red-haired man slapped his head and looked extremely annoyed. The cost of the attack was far greater than he imagined. He had heard that some people were as strong as monsters, but he never expected that they were really monsters. The result of the battle could be described as tragic.

And after paying such a heavy price, the reward has not yet been brought, which is so heart-wrenching.

The red-haired man did not doubt that the people in front of him had taken the gems, otherwise why would he save them.

"Water, water" "I want water"

Several other people also began to wake up at this moment, and without exception they were extremely thirsty.

Two water bags were handed to them, and almost everyone filled half of them before stopping, and of course they asked the red hair about the situation.

A few minutes later.

"So the money is all gone?" "No -"

"So many brothers have been sacrificed."

"Temple bastard!" "That employer is nothing!"

Mulan didn't speak the whole time. After a while, there was no sound. He turned his head and looked to one side and saw four people looking at him.

"What's up?"

"Uh, where are we now? Is there anything you need us to do?"

Through this period of dialogue and analysis of the dialogue between several people, Mulan has quickly sorted out and analyzed the situation, and also changed some ideas in his mind.

Hearing the red hair's words, Mulan shook his head slightly.

"I haven't left here yet, just to protect you. You are extremely vulnerable to some kind of danger when you are in a coma."

The red-haired and others subconsciously looked at the bonfire and then looked at the mountains and forests outside.

"No, no, no, it's not a beast. Winter is relatively safe. The danger I'm referring to is another kind, a danger you may have never been exposed to."

The red-haired man and the others looked at each other in confusion, covering their bodies with hay and a few clothes, as if they had been violated.

"What danger? The Holy Cathedral?"

Mulan smiled, spread out his hands, and black magic like smoke flowed out from them.

"Did you see anything?"

The red-haired people's eyes widened, and at first they thought it was the illusion of campfire smoke. As they concentrated, the smoke became clearer and the color became more intense.

"Black smoke?"

"It's close, it's magic, my magic."

"Magic? Are you a wizard?" "A magician?" "The kind that eats people?"

The reactions of several people were all a little horrified, and Mulan couldn't laugh or cry at all. When he was dealing with the Holy Temple before, he still continued to fight even if he saw something beyond his comprehension. Now he was shocked to hear the word "magic". .

"I'm not a wizard, or I can be considered one, but I'm different from the cannibal you imagine. I'm just a person with stronger abilities."

"Normally, if it is not done deliberately, ordinary people cannot see it before the magic power is transformed into manifest power, but you all have seen it."

"Because we are not ordinary?"

"Yes or no, because you have been maliciously corroded by the Holy Light, and your souls have been mutilated. It can only be said that you are not dead yet because of luck."

The impact of the calm words was not calm. When he mentioned the "incomplete soul", it seemed that the bodies of the red-haired people and others also had some stress reactions, and they faintly felt the cold and weakness beyond the physical level.
