Our family is in decline

Boudica went to bed after eating. Although it was normal to be sick, why did Lance feel like raising a pig?

But when he walked out of the room, Lance suddenly seemed to notice something and couldn't help but turn his head to look.

A strange spiritual restlessness, over there is...Amanda?

Lance just wanted to go over and take a look, but the wave disappeared again after taking a few steps, and he couldn't help but stop.

Don’t you know what these extraordinary beings are doing?

He didn't like to pry into other people's secrets, especially since he had just finished the mission. He didn't want to disturb their lives too much. Now that the fluctuation had disappeared, he could just let her do as she pleased.

The power of these extraordinary beings comes from some strange things. The stronger the inspiration, the more things they come into contact with. They have no [protection].

It would be okay if he was honest, but once he indulged in it, it would become more unstable. Tamara had already warned him about the existence of the Evil Fallen.

Lance felt that in the future, a special area would have to be designated to accommodate extraordinary people, otherwise ordinary people would easily be involved.

But when Lance returned to the Lord's Mansion, there was a person who had been waiting for a long time.

"Is something wrong scholar? I think you need to eat some food and get some sleep."

Lance looked at his haggard look. It was no different from when he came back, or even worse. Isn't this what he should be?

"I haven't slept in many years." Alhazred shook his head slowly. Since that incident, he has never dared to relax his consciousness, let alone sleep. He always uses meditation to restore his energy. .

Sleeping has long become a luxury, and he has even forgotten what it feels like.

But he didn't come because of these things. It was his meditation that made his thoughts clearer, so he resisted the erosion of the wind of corruption.

"I don't know why, but the evil force has suddenly become stronger, and a corrupt force is spreading in a more exaggerated way."

What?

Lance, who was originally complacent about this profit, was instantly devastated by these words and couldn't help but be stunned.

damn it! I've been working in the beast cave for a few days, and I haven't even touched the fucking bed yet.

This side just thought that the ancestor was weakened, but unexpectedly it was strengthened?

You become stronger just by lying down without doing anything?

You old thing is cheating, right?

Lancena became agitated and stressed.

But he quickly calmed down and began to think about what happened?

There is only one possibility that can increase the strength of the ancestors, large-scale death, and where will this happen in Hamlet now?

Could it be that the Ascension Sect organized a counterattack because the Saint was killed and the Ascension Sect couldn't afford it?

Is the cultist's posture of seemingly being surrounded and suppressed by the Guards, suffering heavy losses, and then shrinking crazily just a cover?

Just because the defense was changed and the Guards were withdrawn, the front defensive force was weakened. Wouldn't the outpost be attacked now?

"Tell me more about this sudden increase in power?"

There is no point in guessing. He needs more information, which can help him judge the situation.

"It was difficult to detect at first, but it became stronger and stronger. It was like a wind of corruption blowing from here. The boundaries of reality began to be affected and became fragile. That evil force was accelerating corruption."

Alhazred's words were vague, but he pointed out a direction, and Lance instantly understood that it had nothing to do with the outpost.

Because the outpost was to the north, but the direction he indicated was to the southwest.

That's the old road that leads Hamlet to the outside. Could it be that something unexpected happened in Ovendo City?

As soon as Lance finished processing the tip sent by Vic to the convoy, Walter pointed out that the current situation in Owendo City was not optimistic, and a large-scale riot was likely to break out, so he formulated a new plan.

But even if the delivery time is only a few days, Vic may not have had time to control the situation, right?

The situation is unclear now. Even if he sends people to rush to Ovendo, it will take three days for the news to come back and forth. Before that, he has no idea what happened.

In this regard, Lance can only hope that they can save themselves.

The situation is getting more and more chaotic...

Although it doesn't mean that your control area is damaged, you can still accept it.

However, he got into a place like the beast cave and chopped down pigs and cultists in an effort to weaken the ancestor's power. However, his teammates who turned heads gave away their heads, and in less than a day, his efforts over the past few days were in vain.

Who can he tell this kind of grievance?

The feeling of "I have the intention to kill the thief, but I can't save him" still hurt him deeply. He was so disappointed.

But he turned around and comforted Alhazred: "Don't worry, I will handle it. Evil cannot defeat us."

"Sir, you are the backbone of mankind."

Alhazred naturally felt the invisible pressure. After all, the increase in the power of evil meant that the world was leaning even more towards destruction.

But the man in front of him was not defeated, but quickly picked himself up again.

At this time, even he couldn't help but feel convinced that this person's will was beyond the body.

There is a powerful soul contained in this body!

Lance smiled helplessly when he heard this and waved his hands to deny, "What can I do alone? Those of you who choose to stay are the real backbone of mankind."

His words were not polite, because Lance knew that his ancestor would swallow everything when he became a god, and he did not want to be a part of those twisted flesh and blood, so he had to go.

However, many of the people gathered around him did not know the specific situation and were tricked into getting into the car by him.

These heroes...those soldiers...those townspeople...

Many of them actually don't know what they are facing, but they are on the front line against evil just because of someone.

Whatever the reason, they are indeed heroes.

"I'm just a living body that has lost its soul..." Alhazred had no intention of continuing to dwell on this topic. He originally wanted to say something, but he seemed hesitant.

Finally, he seemed to have made a decision and sighed, unconsciously holding his head with his hands, his expression showing a trace of uncontrollable panic.

"Alas~ I have seen that limp strange demon in the void before, and it is even possible that it came for me."

When Lance heard this, he understood why he collapsed immediately when he saw the limp.

At the same time, I can feel the profound story behind his words. To be able to become the [Champion] is to break through the limits of human beings.

At the same time, it basically means mastering some kind of extraordinary power. For example, Warrior Wolf relied on the wilderness spirit of their tribe to become the champion.

Even in Lance's opinion, Alhazred is stronger than the Roma elder. Maybe the difference behind it is the difference in the extraordinary power he masters.

However, the elders' control over the extraordinary power was very stable, while Alhazred was limited by this power and was instead dragged down.

For Lance, who doesn't know much about the occult, the rich experience of this kind of person is curious.

In other words, the power behind it is curious.

"The night is still very long. If you don't mind, let's talk." Lance inadvertently rubbed his thumb over the [Meteor Star] in his hand and added: "Maybe I can help you."

Originally, he was going to go back to sleep, but now he couldn't think of sleeping anymore, so he was just going to eat melon.

Alhazred could not help but fall into silence when he heard this.

Lance didn't urge him, he just stood up and poured water.

For a while, there was only the sound of water in the living room, and when it was poured, it was handed over.

"I won't drink tea tonight, just drink some water."

Alhazred couldn't help but let out a long breath after taking the water glass, and then slowly said: "The origin of all this lies in that ruins..."

His origins before becoming famous are not mentioned, but being able to occupy a seat in the [Parliament of Destiny] already shows that his talent and strength cannot be too low, but he has already reached the position of [Master] at a young age of less than thirty. level.

Originally, his future was bright and a wonderful future was waiting for him.

The turning point of it all was the discovery of a relic.

When Alhazred first came to Hamlet to look for the evil statue, he had briefly said this to warn Lance.

An ancient civilization that believed in an evil god died. The ruins are witnesses of their past existence, and the cultural relics unearthed in the ruins also showed the power of the evil god, triggering a crisis.

The person sent by the Destiny Council to deal with this matter was Alhazred, who was young and strong at the time. It was this experience that completely changed the rest of his life.

A master-level extraordinary person is also a spellcaster, and he has a group of followers who are also extraordinary talents.

A team of this strength quickly resolved the crisis and sealed the evil things flowing out of the ruins.

Then the Destiny Council took over the ruins, preparing to clean out the contents and impose a seal.

In the process, Alhazred obtained many mysterious rituals and extraordinary props that were lost with the collapse of ancient civilizations.

As a mystical scholar, it is inevitable for him to study these things.

Alhazred's ability is beyond doubt, otherwise he would not have achieved such an achievement at such a young age.

Then when he cracked the secret of the ruins, he discovered that the ancient civilization actually tried to control the evil power of the abyss.

They prospered because of it, and of course they perished because of it, but they still buried it all in the ruins.

But this ruins does not refer to real ruins. The ruins buried in the earth are just to place a key.

As for the real ruins, they are hidden in the void, where there is proof that they were once powerful.

No spellcaster could resist the temptation of the unknown, especially since Alhazred had been trapped in the Master Rank for some time.

For him who has never encountered a bottleneck, this kind of shackles is very uncomfortable. He gradually feels that some limits cannot be broken through talent and hard work, and he urgently needs to seek external help.

And now there is a way in front of him, that is to enter the void, look for the recorded relics, and maybe find a way to advance from them.

As a mystical scholar, he certainly knew the risks involved, but the first half of his life was too smooth, and the foreshadowing laid by the lack of hard work began to unfold at this moment.

He was so overwhelmed by the power that he didn't expect what would happen...

It was on an ominous night that was singled out for a special celestial alignment of the stars.

He summoned his devout followers, gathered around the ancient agate table, and held ceremonies with them hand in hand with the help of countless precious ritual props.

With the power of the ritual, Alhazred's soul was sent into the void, safely held by the life force of his followers. He could freely roam outside the realm, searching for dark connections and incredible power in the gaps between dimensions. .

His rich occult knowledge and research on the ruins of reality allowed him to quickly find the location to enter the ruins built in the void.

A space solidified by rituals, the real place created by ancient civilization - the desert gate.

"That pyramid changed everything for me..." Alhazred spoke slowly, and suddenly his voice changed tone, sounding like he was feeling something.

But as he spoke, he fell into silence again, as if he was reminiscing about something.

However, Lance did not interfere with him, but continued to be a listener and was patient enough.

After about ten seconds, Alhazred seemed to come to his senses and continued talking.

With the help of the "key" obtained from the ruins of reality, his soul passed through the desert gate.

When he came back to his senses, he found that he was located among the vast sand dunes, with a pyramid-shaped temple in front of him. Its rocky spiers caused countless lightning bolts under the dark clouds.

As if being pulled, he fearlessly stepped into the tower and climbed to the highest point of the central platform.

Here he discovered a huge tentacle statue, and his powerful inspiration allowed him to see that the entire statue seemed to be shrouded in a thin layer of blood-colored mist.

There are countless skeletons scattered around, many of which contain powerful spellcasters. Even if only the bones are left, they still have a terrifying aura.

These people appeared here for various reasons, but they all fell, in the last step of pursuing power.

"I was not wise enough to know fear at that time."

Alhazred's words were an evaluation of his young and energetic self at that time.

His strong self-confidence even reached the point of arrogance. He regarded those fallen "predecessors" as losers and stepped over their bones to retrieve the ritual site.

There are warnings left by ancient civilizations on the stone tablet that has gone through countless years, describing the difficulties of the test.

If you want to survive the confrontation with Him, you must abandon unnecessary emotions. Any flaw will lead to failure.

No matter how terrible it is, he is willing to pay any price for power.

He knows that he must get rid of unnecessary emotions in order to accommodate the powerful power.

Under the ritual power of the temple he will reexamine himself, preparing himself for the sacrifice to come.

His heart is trying to awaken his selflessness, conscience, and compassion.

But they have all been suppressed, ignored, and forgotten.

In the end, Alhazred killed part of his humanity.
