Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

In the first round of competition between Ryan and the black dog spirit beast, Hobert was not idle either. He felt that his belly was getting bigger and bigger, and something inside was grabbing his strength and spirituality.

He quickly entered the "Country of Disorder" and took out the level 1 sealed artifact from the "wrong" path.

Hobert comforted himself: if he used it once in a while, he wouldn't be so unlucky to recruit Amon right away.

Putting on the sealed object in the shape of a glove with one hand, he grabbed his stomach with the other hand. A bloody creature with three arms, four legs, and a head like a monkey but with fish scales appeared in his hand.

Hobert quickly threw away the monster: "The ability of the 'Moon' pathway is so disgusting!"

He glanced at the "Despair Witch" who had been suppressed by the "Bull Demon King", and her belly was also growing rapidly.

On the other side, the black dog spirit beast summoned the "Gate of the Underworld". A bronze door with heavy patterns appeared, and pale arms stretched out from it, restricting Ryan's movement. Ryan immediately "zoomed in" his own Strength and spirituality, and "amplifies" the "life" breath around it.

Although these breaths have no effect on the black dog spirit beast, the "Gate of the Underworld" is affected by the breath of "life". The evil spirits inside seem to have a new life and are no longer willing to be commanded by the black dog spirit beast. Opened Ryan.

As for the "Gate to the Underworld" itself, the aura of "life" quickly faded.

This quickly allowed Ryan to break free and gain freedom.

At the same time, the creatures that fell out of the fruit rushed over to stop the black dog spirit beast from attacking Ryan.

Hobert looked at the battlefield on the other side. The "Bull Demon King" "distorted" the attack of the "Despair Witch" again, and stepped on the head of the "Despair Witch" that had been knocked to the ground into the ground.

"Despair Witch" was trembling all over and was already in a semi-conscious state.

She is also relatively unlucky. No matter whether it is disease, curse or charm, it has no effect on the "Bull Demon King".

However, the "Bull Demon King"'s extraordinary abilities and "physical attacks" can cause considerable harm to her.

Hobert coughed twice, and as soon as the "Despair Witch" died, he would immediately use "Travel" to leave, and then go to the "Land of Disorder" to take back the "Bull Demon King" and the Black Dog Spirit Beast, and let Ryan fight with the air.

Just when he thought of this, he suddenly had a bad premonition. Following the spiritual guidance, he looked at a dilapidated house on the street.

There was a woman wearing a gauze hat whose face could not be seen clearly. She opened the door and came out of the house. If it weren't for the breathless pressure she exuded, just looking at her actions, she looked as casual as she was getting ready to go to work. .

Hobert had a premonition that something was bad, and immediately injected spirituality into the "Traveler's Knife".

But the woman moved faster: "It is forbidden to enter the spirit world here!"

She spoke very quickly, but those present could hear every word she said.

The illusory space in front of Hobert was suddenly covered by thick fog and returned to its normal state.

This woman happens to be Althea Tamara, who "coincidentally" lives not far from here and is looking for clues about the "Wood of Symmetry".

She wasn't too interested in Hobert, as long as he couldn't escape. Like Ryan, the "Bull Demon King" and the black dog spirit beast attracted her attention. She could feel the pure and pure nature of the "Bull Demon King". Intense power.

Althea quickly approached the "Bull Demon King" and prepared to use the power of "imprisonment" to try to seal it.

The situation quickly became unfavorable to Hobert. He quickly took out the scepter on his waist, broke the shell of the "Order Crystal", and ordered the "Bull Demon King": deal with the woman who just appeared!

"The Bull Demon King" avoided Althea's seal: "Twisted!"

It distorted the concept of Althea following a monster that fell out of the fruit, and that monster was trampled to pieces by the black dog spirit beast in the next second.

"Deprived!" Almost at the same time, Althea deprived the monster of the ability to exchange concepts with himself.

So the blow the monster received was not reflected on her body.

"Fallen!" The "Ox Demon King" took action again and started a battle with Althea.

At the same time, as the only Sequence 5 on the battlefield, Hobert watched the battlefield on both sides to avoid being affected by the aftermath of their battle. He pulled out his knife and rushed towards the "Witch of Despair" to hit him.

Just a few meters away from the "Despair Witch", the "Despair Witch" whose head was stepped on the ground but whose body was on the ground let out a desperate roar.

She pulled her head out of the ground. At this time, her hair was burning with spiritual fire, and her eyes were filled with holy light.

At the same time, her aura soared, and it was even more powerful than the aura just now!

The battle with the "Bull Demon King" just now made her understand what true despair is, and she actually digested the magic potion because of it.

And she used the method of burning spirituality to restore herself as soon as possible.

This method is very harmful to herself, but she must do it now, otherwise she may die here!

When Hobert saw this scene, he turned around and ran away without thinking. He regretted it now. He shouldn't have thought of finishing the attack, so he should have run away immediately.

"Cough cough cough!" The surrounding fog immediately became thicker again. Hobert felt his throat was itchy and coughed violently. His whole body was sore and weak, and he had a fever.

He knew that this was special care given by the "Witch of Despair". Otherwise, with his Sequence 5 physique, even if there were mystical viruses and bacteria in the surrounding haze, he would not have become so seriously ill so quickly.

Too late to use the "healing technique", Hobert could only run away now, knowing that the "Witch of Despair" would catch up immediately.

And he is a Sequence 5, even if he has two level 1 sealed objects, he may not be able to defeat her opponent.

Reaching forward to grab it, Hobert stole the distance in front of him and suddenly appeared on the street.

It’s so damn easy to use! It’s simply easier to use than “Flash”!

Hobert was sighing, ready to steal the distance ahead, but his outstretched arms couldn't move. He wanted to continue running forward, only to find that his legs couldn't move either.

Only then did he notice that he seemed to be entangled in thin and tough hair.

Then Hobert felt cold and stiff all over, and a layer of frost suddenly appeared on the ground and mountains.

He knew that the "Despair Witch" was coming quickly.

"Chaos!" Hobert used the scepter in his hand to use chaos. The scepter can use three demigod-level abilities: "Utilization", "Amplification", and "Chaos"!

Demigod-level chaos can already disrupt certain existing orders and rules.

Hobert used "chaos" to mess up the friction between the frost on the ground and his hair, giving his hair the friction of frost, and the friction that entangled his hair became very small, so that Hobert could Swing the knife in his hand in a small area to cut off those hairs.

If it were an ordinary knife, it would definitely be able to cut through it, but the knife in Hobert's hand was different. It quickly cut off the hair around him and cleared an area where he could move freely.

At the same time, the "Despair Witch" is also catching up!

"Zoom in!" Hobert magnified the smoothness of the frost on the ground, greatly reducing the friction.

Even the "Witch of Despair" in Sequence 4 almost slipped due to the sudden reduction in friction.

Immediately afterwards, she withdrew her frost ability and quickly pursued by breaking through the ground: "Charm!"

"Use!" Hobert immediately felt as if there was a deer bumping around in his chest. The "Witch of Despair" who had burned his hair short before him was as lovable and unforgettable as his first love.

Not to mention being her enemy, Hobert didn't even want to make her angry.

Even if I gave everything I had to make him happy, I would not hesitate to do so.

There are also Ryan and Orthea who have similar thoughts to Hobert. Yes, Orthea also feels like seeing her first love.

It's just that the two saints have not risen to the level of dog-licking like Hobert.

This is Hobert's rule for "utilizing" extraordinary abilities, turning "Charm" from an individual attack into a group attack.

"Twisted!" Ryan "twisted" the "charm" influence he received onto the black dog spirit beast.

Of course, this will not have any impact on the black dog spirit beast whose body is filled with "power of order".

However, when Ryan was using "Distortion", the black dog spirit beast let out a scream. The scream hit Ryan's spirit body, putting Ryan at an instant disadvantage.

Althea simply said: "The charm here is invalid!"

When she used the "Law" ability, the "Ox Demon King" took the lead.

And because the "charm was ineffective" here, Hobert also woke up from his dog-licking state.

Even Ryan, who was fighting the black dog spirit beast, sighed in his heart that the "utilization" performed by Hobert just now was very good.

But in just a second or two, the "Witch of Despair" had already chased after him and kicked Hobert away.

Hobert felt as if he had been hit by a cannonball, and almost vomited out all the acid in his stomach.

At the same time, Hobert felt that his condition was getting worse. His throat seemed to be blocked by something and it was difficult to breathe.

The "Witch of Despair" chased after him with a spear made of frost in her hand, ready to nail Hobert to the ground.

Just when the "Witch of Despair" stabbed out the ice spear, Hobert endured the suffocation and the bone-piercing pain in his body and stole Althea's position.

The moment the ice spear struck Hobert, his position was switched with Althea's.

Althea reacted quickly and shot the ice gun away as soon as she raised her hand: "Confinement!"

The "Witch of Despair" was imprisoned by an invisible force and could not move even while standing there.

When Orthea got up from the ground, she found that the "Bull Demon King" had already run away a long way with Hobert on his side. Orthea left behind the black dog spirit beast and Ryan and immediately chased after him.

In the arms of the "Bull Demon King", Hobert quickly used the "healing technique" on himself, "Cough cough cough~" He finally coughed up the phlegm in his throat, as if he had saved his life.

Two or three seconds later, he used another "healing technique" on himself, and the injuries and diseases on his body were completely healed.

But soon he discovered that the surrounding fog seemed to have started to burn his hair, and the surrounding fog had become yellower and thicker again.

The streets were already filled with people dying.

Hobert quickly used "Travel" to leave the East District, and then found a deserted place to enter the "Land of Disorder" to take back the "Bull Demon King".

Althea in the East District is also a saint after all, and she feels that she is quite knowledgeable, but she is still confused for a second or two: the monster just disappeared suddenly, and it did not enter the spiritual world!

Strange!

Hobert in "The Kingdom of Disorder" went to recover the black dog spirit beast again, but found that he could not find the black dog spirit beast!

…

The "Bull Demon King" hugged Hobert and left. After Althea chased after him, a female figure with a hood and a dark robe was outlined on the street that had been almost destroyed by the previous battle.

She has a handsome face, but no expression at all. Her black eyes are dark and deep, but lack spirituality.

Whether it was the "imprisoned" "Witch of Despair" or the black dog spirit beast and Ryan who were fighting, they all looked at this woman together.

Then, they seemed to turn into pencil drawings, as if they were quickly erased with an eraser.

They had no power to resist, and they only had time to show their confused eyes with unwillingness.

Then the female figure disappeared, as if she had never been there.

There are big holes in this street, which has long been deserted. Several walls have collapsed, and dozens of big trees are crowding the houses precariously. Thick light yellow fog rolled in, covering everything, as if it had covered up the fierce battle that had just happened here.

…

Hobert in "The Kingdom of Disorder" suddenly realized a problem. When he met the "Crazy Mage" of the Solomon family just now, why didn't he run away quickly?

But now is not the time to think about this problem, and Hobert did not continue to look for the black dog spirit beast, because he knew that after the power of the "country of disorder" in the black dog spirit beast was diluted, it could sense the location of the ancient god of death.

You don't need to actively look for it, you just need to show a little aura of the ancient death god, and it will find it on its own.

There are more important things to do now.

Hobert returned to the real world, used the "Faceless Man Necklace" to navigate himself, and entered the spiritual world again to save old Kohler.

…

"Happy New Year!"

Old Kohler hid his portion of ham in a paper bag and left in a hurry.

After walking some distance, he muttered: "What a strange guy."

He was talking about the guy who just said "Happy New Year" to everyone.

Old Kohler glanced at the ham in his arms worriedly. Looking at the red meat mixed with a lot of white, his throat couldn't help but squirm and he swallowed.

As he walked, he felt that the fog around him was getting thicker.

Old Kohler raised his palms to cover his mouth and nose: "Why does the fog smell so bad today?"

"Cough cough cough~"

There were coughing sounds everywhere, and old Kohler himself started coughing: Are you sick? Damn, I wanted to have a wonderful New Year... maybe just take a nap, yeah, no big deal, just take a nap and it'll be fine.

Fortunately, the thick fog seemed to lighten a bit as we walked further.

(At this time, the "Despair Witch" is being beaten.)

Old Kohler breathed a sigh of relief: It's okay, it's just that the fog just now was a bit unpleasant.

A wonderful new year awaits.

But after a few minutes, the surrounding fog became thicker again, and the church bell tower that was still clear in the distance was gradually engulfed by a mixture of light yellow and iron black.

Old Kohler felt his face heat up and his forehead seemed to be burning: Damn it! This damn fog!

He was about to take two quick steps to leave the "dense fog area", but his chest felt tight, his throat felt uncomfortable, and he soon developed difficulty breathing.

"Hehehe~" Old Kohler heard his labored breathing, his hands softened, and the paper bag containing ham fell to the ground.

He subconsciously knelt down to pick it up, but dropped it there.

Old Kohler held down the bag containing the ham and tried to put it into his arms.

thump! Old Kohler began to blur his vision and saw someone falling down a few steps away. Suddenly, he had a clear understanding and knew that he was about to die.

Just like his wife and daughter, when the disease came, they quickly lost their lives.

People kept falling down one after another, which reminded him of what he heard from a drunkard in the bar when he was looking for information: "People like us are like straw in the field, they will fall down when the wind blows, even If there is no wind, it may fall down on its own!”

The wind is coming...

Old Kohler suddenly had this thought flash across his mind.

What he didn't understand was that when his life was just on the right track and developing in a good enough direction, why did he suddenly fall down?

At this moment, old Kohler made the sound of a bellows pulling, and he was even unable to lift his hand.

But the question kept lingering in my mind: "Why?"

When his vision was very blurry, he seemed to see a person appearing out of thin air not far ahead. Was that the God of Death?

A ray of milky white light fell on Old Kohler's body, and the discomfort on his body disappeared quickly.

A lot of thick yellow phlegm flowed out of the corners of Old Kohler's mouth, his lungs started working again, and he soon regained his vision.

He saw a man wearing a mask and a black trench coat squatting in front of him, and he seemed to be saying something to him.

After a long while, old Kohler realized: I'm not dead!

Only then did he hear the other party's words clearly: "Do you know the family where a widow works as a starch and supports two daughters? Her little daughter has just been rescued from Kapin."

"You, you mean Liv's family?" Old Kohler said hoarsely: "Her two daughters are called Freya and Daisy!"

The masked man Hobert thought about it for a moment: "Yes."

"I know."

"take me!"

"Okay, okay." Old Kohler stood up with difficulty: "I'll..."

"Close your eyes!" Hobert suddenly exuded a majestic aura and ordered: "Imagine the location of that family in your mind."

Old Kohler clenched the paper bag in his hand: "Okay, okay..."

Hobert held his shoulders and entered the spirit world again.

Soon, they appeared in front of a dilapidated building. Old Kohler felt the hand on his shoulder move away. Only then did he open his eyes and found that he had appeared at the door of Liv's family: "Oh my God, this is simply magical." trace."

However, Hobert had no time to accept old Kohler's compliments now. He quickly entered the damp room in front, where both mother and son had fallen to the ground.

Hobert didn't have time to take a closer look, so he first used a "healing spell" on Freya, waited for more than a second in agony, and then used a "healing spell" on Liv.

At this time, Hobert knelt down to take a look. Liv's eyes had lost their luster, but Freya was recovering quickly.

Soon Freya was able to sit up. She found her mother still lying on the ground. She seemed to understand something. She knelt on the ground crying and said to the masked Hobert: "Please, please." ."

"Sorry, I, I, I won't be resurrected."

At this time, old Kohler began to cough violently again.

Hobert took a deep breath, grabbed Freya's shoulders, and pulled her out.

Freya cried: "Mom! Mom!"

But her mother could no longer agree, so she lay quietly on the damp ground, as if she was asleep.

Freya's eyes flashed as she appeared on a strange street. In front of them was a church decorated with wheat ears and other crops.

Hobert said to old Kohler, who was exclaiming about the miracle, and Freya, who was still crying uncontrollably: "You guys are waiting here! If you feel unwell, go to the church to get some potions."

Old Kohler nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay."

Hobert waited for a while, and when "Travel" could be used again, Freya suddenly said: "Daisy! Kind sir, please save Daisy."

Hobert didn't have time to explain, so he just nodded and returned to the East District.

Although he failed to save Liv, he was able to save one more person now.

Arriving at the street near the source of the thick fog in the East District, corpses that had gone through painful struggles were lying on the ground. The billowing light yellow thick fog seemed to have buried the entire street! And all the creatures on the streets.

Hobert walked among the corpses one by one: "I have heard of gods who patched the sky with themselves; I heard of gods who found ways to make fire for people, gods who enlightened people; I heard I have heard of gods who chase the scorching sun in order to make the sun rise and set more regularly; I have heard of gods who lead the people to control floods!

"But I have never heard of a god who has such contempt for life! The end of the world? Haha, who said the end will be more than ten years from now? In a world with such gods, every moment will be the end!"

Walking from the street to the end of the street, Hobert couldn't find anyone who was still breathing.

He looked at the thick fog and the dead streets, and stood there silently for a long time.

At this time, a gust of wind blew from a distance, and the mist rolled up as if it suddenly came to life.

The Church of Stormwind finally reacted and was dispersing the thick fog.

Hobert then used "travel" to return to Rose Flower Street, which was already crowded with people queuing up to receive the potion.

He was about to go find old Kohler and Freya, but suddenly he stood there motionless, forgetting his purpose, forgetting where he was, and even wondering why he was here?

It took three or four seconds for Hobert to react and recall his purpose and today's experience: as long as you use the "wrong" sealed object that looks like a glove, you will be affected by its negative effects!

After leaving the battle, Hobert immediately used the "Order Crystal" to seal the scepter and gloves. The level 2 magical items on his body could effectively avoid negative effects using this method.

Before Hobert came into contact with the Level 1 Sealed Artifact, he had not even been affected by any negative effects.

However, this method obviously cannot avoid the negative effects of level 1 sealed objects.

Hobert quickly touched the magical items on his body. Thank God, no valuable items were lost.

Only then did he go to the crowd and find Old Kohler and Freya.

Old Kohler stepped forward and said: "Kind sir, how can I thank you."

Under the mask, Hobert showed a forced smile: "Please give me a bite of the ham in the paper bag."

At the suggestion of a book friend, the author modified the ceremony in Sequence 2. The specific content remained the same, but the scope of the ceremony was changed from a country to a big city.
