Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 497 The Shepherd and the Ring of Endings

In an instant, the surging shadow power roared out, pushing Olive directly back.

The overflowing shadow power spread instantly, and the invisible wind blew out all the candles in the chapel.

The shadow spread rapidly outward with the Candlestick Cathedral as the center.

There was no strong wind, but the spreading darkness swallowed up all light sources. Both sides, who were still at war, were forced to stop fighting because they were all blinded.

……what happened?

Such a powerful shadow force...

The consultant suddenly felt uneasy.

Lancelot I...should be a knight on the authoritarian path, right?

Why does the ritual to resurrect him sound like something from the realm of revenge...

[Revenge] That is the power of the field of love. It is the power controlled by Ying Tiansi, just like the shadow.

The Shadow of Avalon...if this is the power of Shadow Tiansi.

The rivers became filthy, the fruits on the trees were streaked with black, and the food reserves were contaminated.

He threw a jug of wine to Lancelot: "Forget it, don't worry about that. Try this, my descendants recently offered it to me!"

He sighed, feeling lost: "Finally...is it finally over?"

"What can I get you?"

"……what."

When the terminal ceremony here was activated, another magic circle far away in Yingjiao Village was also lit up.

Except for the moonlight in the sky, all light sources were completely swallowed up and blocked. The whole world seems to have returned to the primitive times. People hide in fear at night and dare not go out.

It's always gloomy here, neither day nor night. There is no sun or moon in the sky. The dark gray sky is always filled with dark clouds and thunder and lightning, but it never rains... It makes me feel depressed.

Lancelot smiled, put away his spear and took the wine bottle: "That's great, but it's a pity that my descendants don't know how to send something here..."

The strong man beside him laughed and urged: "Hurry up, drink more! Drink more!

"When you are resurrected, you won't be able to drink this wine from the underworld!"

"Oh? Are you leaving?"

And every time the last survivor can spend the night with the Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows - in this sense, these brave and strong warriors can even be regarded as the harem of Shadow Tiansi, as are the witches and fairies.

Does it mean that when Lancelot I was resurrected... he was no longer the original Lancelot?

At this moment, the world of dreams, the land of shadows.

"Okay."

The strong man with his bare upper body was a little reluctant, but he still smiled cheerfully: "But your skills are pretty good - who did you learn from them?"

People were eating meat and drinking wine while watching and cheering. After they finish this meal, they will usher in the next wave of fleeing and fighting with each other.

At this time, the roaring shadow became more intense and roared and spread again.

Ying Tiansi controls the field of betrayal and revenge, so those witches and fairies will occasionally seduce these passionate warriors - after being discovered, they will naturally be punished by Ying Tiansi... But this is not a way of playing. of a link.

The shadow is still spreading firmly and slowly.

Lancelot smiled and drank the wine in one gulp.

Lancelot said mockingly, sitting next to the man with a wine bottle.

"Maybe I will come back again. But when I come back... I might be a white knight in silver armor."

Grass withers, fires die, and metal rusts.

Lancelot held a long spear, and after moving rapidly, he swung the weapon three times in succession, knocking the long sword out of the hands of the strong man in front of him. Then the gun shot out like a dragon and instantly penetrated his throat and heart!

They are all dead people, those who are aggressive, lustful, jealous, and better than fighting. They are the most brave, strong and handsome warriors selected by Ying Tiansi.

Olive covered her chest in discomfort and retreated repeatedly - his body was too old to withstand such a level of shadow wash. The grapes tried to use the rock walls to protect themselves, but they could not stop the wind of shadow that penetrated everything.

When the strong man complained, "Save some for me," he returned the wine bottle to the strong man and threw his spear to him.

As he withdrew his weapon, the strong man he had killed came back to life.

"Oops, I made a mistake..."

His body twisted and disappeared, as if it had been sucked out.

He heard... someone calling him.

However, compared to the absurd, cruel and depraved Blood Realm, the gameplay here is already very conservative.

If you look at Avalon from above, you can see shadow ripples visible to the naked eye, centered on the glass island, roaring outward.

"As a living person, in a sense, I am not much different from a dead person..."

The man said angrily: "You are a living person and we are dead. Don't say such unlucky words."

There's no work to be done here, and the dead don't need to eat. The dense black bushes will produce a large black strawberry, which can be used to make wine; and various monsters in the Kingdom of Shadow will be reborn after death. The witches and fairies will be responsible for brewing and cooking, and all the rest of the people have to do every day is drink, eat meat, and fight each other.

At this moment, Lancelot was suddenly startled. His spirit body crackled and trembled, blurred for a moment.

Not far away, hunters are hunting huge magic pigs - these magic pigs will resurrect after death, but their meat can be roasted and eaten. Not far away was a banquet, and next to the banquet were two soldiers fighting in a bloody battle.

The ritual formation over there is far more complicated than that in the chapel - forty or fifty overlapping formations, symbols, and extraordinary materials, forming an extremely sophisticated, yet complex system that is difficult to maintain. When they started to operate, another ritual array hidden in them also started.

However, the lively atmosphere here on the ground is opposite to the gloomy sky.

The war was suspended. Because no one can see clearly where the enemy is and where the teammates are. Even the vision of the extraordinary is blocked by this shadow curtain, and the ignited flames will tremble and extinguish in an instant, as if in a strong wind.

In the coffin, Lancelot I suddenly stretched out his hand and grasped the dagger inserted in his chest.

Then, he pulled out the dagger instantly!

In an instant, the old appearance seemed to inflate, becoming younger at a speed visible to the naked eye, and once again returned to the appearance of being in his thirties.

However, he did not completely transform into the historical Lancelot, but instead became black hair and eyes. The power of shadow condensed into battle lines on his face, and his pupils were black and purple, like a ripe grape.

The extremely strong pressure frightened Aiwass for a moment.

His aura is even more powerful than that of the Night Demon - just by being here, that strong sense of presence makes the surroundings seem so disharmonious. It's as if the painting style is different from the surroundings... It's as weird as a 2D character suddenly appears in the 3D environment. The power of the shadows that flew out has now spread beyond the glass island. And at this moment, they flowed back at several times the speed, like going back in time, and continued to sink into his body. It's just that things that were contaminated before are still contaminated today.

The light returned in an instant.

The candle flames flew up and swayed violently, and the chapel became bright again. Even the three candles on Aiwass's crown were lit together.

Lancelot I opened his eyes and sat up from the coffin very slowly. The bones all over his body were crackling, and the aura of his whole body gradually transformed from a stone statue and a corpse into a living person... and gradually took on the aura of life.

"Kids, I'm back."

He opened his eyes and said in a friendly, serious and serious tone: "Is there anything you need me to do?"

The miracle of resurrection from the dead.

Not only that - it's even a miracle of rejuvenation.

Seeing this, Aiwass paused slightly, as if he thought of something. But the inspiration flashed away and he failed to catch it directly.

...Strange, it actually succeeded? !

How could it succeed?

Aiwass was a little confused for a moment.

He was ready to stab the advisor in the back and kill him.

Shouldn't Ying Tiansi be summoned directly? Or is it that, in this world line, grandfather has never done anything to the Shadow of Avalon?

If the Shadow Ritual of Avalon is the Ring of Ending, then the one who was summoned should be Shadow Tiansi. And if it was Lancelot I who was resurrected, how could his mission include "ensuring the survival of civilians"?

Could it be that the host was trying to scare him and test his courage?

"……Um?"

But at this moment, Lancelot I was suddenly startled.

He looked at Aiwass and frowned slightly.

"Have I seen you before somewhere?"

"...How could you have seen me?"

Aiwass was a little helpless, but he could only reply to His Majesty's inquiry: "I am Aiwass Moriarty. A descendant of Mordred... But our family is all adopted sons, so that person and I Knight Mordred should not be related by blood."

"Of course not Mordred..."

Lancelot I murmured in a low voice: "I have been in the Kingdom of Shadows for too long, and my memories of my life are a little blurry. Let me think about it..."

Soon, his eyes suddenly opened wide.

It wasn't that he was thinking of something, but he was covering his heart that had just been pierced and showing a painful expression.

He suddenly reached out his hand and tore the clothes into pieces. I saw a thin snake emerging from the chest that had just been penetrated - it circled around the wound and bit its own tail, forming a circle.

Purple light shone on Lancelot, and the extremely strong power of transcendence suddenly spread outward.

——Is this the linking ring now? !

Seeing this scene, Avas suddenly understood.

All doubts are cleared!

It turns out that the resurrected Lancelot I was actually just a sacrifice to complete the ceremony of the Ring of Endings!

Completing the Ring of Ending Ceremony requires a world-limited level of transcendent as a sacrifice... Although Aiwass still doesn't understand how those who summoned the Fallen Division did it...

However, Lancelot I, who had just been resurrected and returned from the dream world, undoubtedly met this condition!

Thinking of this, Aiwass suddenly had an impulse and an idea.

Lancelot I himself is also a transcendent of the sixth level authoritative path!

Neither the Tiansi nor the apostles of the Path of Love are reliable and cannot be controlled. Tiansi on the authoritarian path is better.

Or you can also pull down the apostles of the Silver Crown Dragon... They are all Lancelot's former comrades in arms, and they may be able to be controlled.

So Aiwass stretched out his hand and pressed it on Lancelot's chest.

——I can also do the linking ring!

He can directly modify the goal of the Ring of Ending - not to allow the Heavenly Priests of the path of love to come, but only to allow the apostles of the path of authority to come.

If they are the apostles of Tiansi, then they can still fight, which is better than fighting Ying Tiansi; if they are the apostles of Silver Crown Dragon, then they don't even have to fight!

The preliminary preparations for the ceremony had been completely prepared by his grandfather, so Aiwass could start the ongoing ceremony in an instant.

But strangely, Aiwass suddenly found that something in his body was activated by this ritual.

That is……

"...The art of pastoral care?!"

Lancelot suddenly realized: "I remembered, you are a shepherd!"

……what?

Aiwass was stunned for a moment.

But he had no time to ask or explain. As the art of pastoral law works itself out, the ritual of the Ring of Endowment is subtly distorted.

In an instant, the purple light turned into a scarlet ring.

It was like a magic circle, opening up with the two of them as the center, enveloping them both, and completely blocking the eyes of the outside world.

If Aiwass had a chance to see the appearance of this magic circle, he would find that it is exactly the same as the magic circle in Yinka when he sealed the beast of sin, and the magic circle in the Book of Laws!

"and many more!"

The consultant was just about to ask what happened.

But he suddenly felt palpitations——

I saw that the flame butterfly that was parked on Aiwass's shoulder turned into "Leah" again at some point.

She was looking at the consultant coldly, but she looked eager to give it a try.

"...Why are you looking at me like this?"

——Did I just do something wrong or say something wrong?

The consultant had probably realized something, but still refused to give up: "I have something important to say to Bishop Moriarty...very important..."

He was unwilling to believe that Aiwass was a promoted person until his death.

"you guess?"

The corners of Leah's mouth raised slightly.

She raised her hand towards the consultant.
