The Lord of Ashes

The mission continued immediately.

Roy couldn't abandon his teammates, and Hawke couldn't be a coward.

"Damn it, I'll die here!"

"Chuck and Alytin, who have already fallen, won't be alone!" Hawke said viciously.

As Hawke said this, the five continued to move.

...

I don't know if Hawke's jinx was too good, or if there were other factors.

As the five-man team began to look for a new suitable node, the team members began to lose members one after another.

In fact, it was the Demon Tide Civilization that discovered the recent clues.

In particular, after an infiltration team was wiped out by the Demon Tide, even the special mechanical devices they had not yet installed were seized by the Demon Tide Civilization.

Even the fourth and fifth level demon kings could not see through the mystery of such mechanical devices.

When a level 6 demon emperor handed it to the demon emperor named Babok, the demon emperor's face changed instantly, and the demon tide civilization immediately began to purge the entire front line.

Roy and his team started their second device installation task in this purge wave of the demon tide civilization.

The first to fall was Tester, who had been trying to complete the task before.

This level 3 great magician, whose wife and son had died in the demon tide war, was finally going to find his family.

The hideous thorns of a demigod-level sharp demonized beetle pierced Tester's weak body. After the explosion of the elemental body bought some time for Roy and others to transfer, the only action completed by this level 3 great magician was to turn his head and look at Roy and others at the last moment.

Although Tester didn't say anything, Roy and others understood his intention.

Even though Tester was on the verge of death at the last moment, his eyes were still condensed with the persistence of completing the task.

The second member of the team to die was Hawke.

This third-level dark knight who almost grew up with Roy found the exact resettlement coordinates for Roy and others on the eve of his death.

Roy did not see Hawke for the last time.

When he arrived at the resettlement node found by Hawke, there was only a group of self-explosion slag with a strong dark element and half of the corpse of a third-level magic tide creature with some vitality left.

The surrounding magic tide army had already discovered Roy and others.

In addition to the overwhelming first- and second-level magic tide creatures, there were also several powerful magic tides that suppressed the fluctuations of demigod-level creatures, and were rapidly approaching the location of Roy and others.

There was not much time left for Roy and others!

The third member of the team to die was Roy's beloved Britney.

At the last moment of her life, Britney explained her persistence to Roy.

Her grandmother, a kind demigod-level light magician, died in the metal cemetery war zone of the Flat Demon Alliance thousands of years ago.

Britney is much older than Roy.

Roy is only a little over a thousand years old, but Britney is more than six thousand years old.

The nourishing ability of light magic on the body and skin makes Britney look extremely young and beautiful, and she doesn't look thousands of years old at all.

Only the accumulation of years occasionally revealed in her calm eyes indicates that Britney's life experience is far more than Roy's.

Britney's impression of her grandmother is that when she was a child, she was wandering in her grandmother's arms and comfortably felt the fluctuations of light magic elements.

That period of time was very short, probably only more than ten years, but it left a nearly eternal memory in Britney's heart.

Britney's grandmother was also a light magician of the Holy Tower under Neytini at the time, so she would naturally follow Neytini to the battlefield of the Flat Demon Alliance.

And that battle in the Metal Cemetery, to be precise, was also the first battle after the light spirit Neytini was promoted to level seven.

Britney's eyes were full of apologies to Roy.

At the beginning, she actually had no feelings for Roy, a very young "boy".

It was Roy's drive and his tenacious temperament that infected Britney.

In tens of thousands of days and nights, Britney noticed Roy busy in front of the experimental table, especially his red hair, which was Britney's favorite look.

If possible, Britney would like to have children for Roy, but unfortunately...

It is also difficult for level 3 creatures to give birth to offspring. The two who have known each other since the end of the Bright Wing Star Field War have not yet given birth to offspring.

Britney's death had a great impact on Roy.

This also strengthened his determination to complete this task.

In fact, the hatred between the Magic Tide Civilization and the Wizard Civilization has lasted for tens of thousands of years since the defeat of the Gallente Federation.

This hatred is not innate, but the two civilizations are destined to go to the opposite side because of their different camps and positions.

That is why the wizard civilization had already started a war and direct confrontation with the demon tide in the star field of Guangwei Country, the battlefield of Minghe Empire, and multiple battlefields of the Pingmo Alliance before the demon tide invaded the wizard's native star field.

This confrontation is irreconcilable as time goes by.

And the blood feud between the two civilizations will become deeper and deeper.

A smile to end the grudges is definitely not suitable for the two civilizations at this stage.

At least for now, all levels of the demon tide civilization and the wizard civilization are thinking about killing each other!

Mario, the third-level sky knight, is the second to last member of the team to fall.

He used his solid chest to activate the mechanical device for Roy and bought time.

The only thing left to represent Mario was the broken red hat, which was buried under the surrounding ruins in the elemental wind.

Just as Roy didn't know Mario, until the last moment of his death, Roy didn't know much about the story of this strong third-level sky knight.

His obscurity accompanied him throughout his life.

Roy wanted to help Mario put away his hat, but when he reached out his hand, he found that most of his elemental body had been infected by demonization.

The demon tide civilization seemed to want to capture him alive, and they also hoped to prevent Roy from completing the final activation of the device.

Roy looked around, and the dense demon tide creatures blocked his vision.

These demon tide creatures had different shapes and were ferocious and unruly.

They all stared at Roy with their deep purple eyes, as if they were going to tear him apart and swallow him up in the next moment.

At the last moment of his life, Roy's mind was filled with the voices and faces of all his teammates who died in this mission. He remembered his good brother Hawke, the fallen Britney, and his sister.

His sister, who was more talented than him, should replace him and continue to be active on the battlefield of civilization, right?

Roy even remembered his great-grandfather Sean, whom he had never met.

Grant's noble surname prompted Roy to activate the pre-set runes of the mechanical device in front of him just before his mind was demonized by the power of the magic tide.

At the same time, he tore up the last self-destruct scroll beside him.

Darkness swept everything.
