Chapter 1604: Chapter 925: The Thing from the Depths of the Earth_2 Chapter 1604: Chapter 925: The Thing from the Depths of the Earth_2 “It was then that I realized that the lava constantly flowing out was not due to the explosion, but rather because the explosion disturbed an unknown creature deep underground, causing it to co out and investigate.”
At this point, the White Knight’s voice began to shake uncontrollably.
“Not to conceal it from you, my Lord, the feeling of being stared at by that strange creature is extrely terrifying, as if facing an indescribable endless abyss.”
“The creature did nothing but stand there, yet I was already so shocked that I couldn’t control myself. Although I only had a breath left at that ti and had already faced everything calmly, fear still couldn’t help but flood my mind.”
The White Knight paused for a long ti before slowly adding, “My Lord, although I cannot fully describe all my feelings at that ti with words, what I can be sure of is that it was a fear beyond death.”
“Fear beyond death, huh?”
Hearing the White Knight’s words, Leo Ray nodded thoughtfully: “I never thought that sothing so terrifying still exists deep beneath our feet.”
Leo Ray frowned while feeling amazed in his heart.
It is not difficult to see from the White Knight’s description that this unknown creature is apparently capable of integrating with lava, or even a part of the lava itself.
Just this point alone is enough to prove that it is no ordinary thing.
Most crucially, the White Knight is a fearless National Protector Level Tier 5 Powerhouse, yet it can still make him feel a chilling fear transcending death.
“Like facing an indescribable endless abyss, huh?”
“It seems that this mysterious otherworld is indeed far from what it appears on the surface, and the true chaos has long been hidden deep within.”
Leo Ray took a deep breath slowly, and a hint of curiosity erged on his face.
Although it is uncertain what that mysterious creature is, it can be sure that its strength must be extrely astonishing, which is why it could make a powerhouse like the White Knight feel terrified.
“The size of a head, like an eyeball or an octopus that has lost all its tentacles… It’s indeed a description that makes one’s imagination run wild.”
“Is it a creation of God or a part of a deity, or even a deity itself?”
“But if it is related to deities, in theory, it shouldn’t be interested in the White Knight.”
“After all, before the Era of Blankness, deities had a honeymoon period with the Ten Thousand Clans and coexisted harmoniously for a long ti.”
“However, there is no absolute in anything, and perhaps everything is indeed related to deities, and there is so reason in it.”
“Apart from that, is this thing the only one, or is it a group? Does it exist only in this continent where I am, or in every corner of this world? Is there any hidden connection between it and the advent of Lords like us?”
“This leads back to that old question, what is the significance of our advent as Lords?”
Leo Ray shook his head helplessly and brought his thoughts back to reality.
At this stage, although everything is still in a haze and lacks the necessary clues to explore the truth, one thing that can be confird is:
Since this unknown creature from deep underground can easily co to the surface and has always been peaceful with the Ten Thousand Clans,
even the explosion caused by the Alliance Army in the lava layer did not have any records of retaliation, it proves that it is not the aggressive type.
That ans that as long as one doesn’t provoke it actively, at least there is no threat to the territory.
Thinking about it, Leo Ray hesitated for a mont, then asked the White Knight, “So, the deep blue crystal on your body or the reason you can still be active in current tis is because of this unknown thing, right?””Indeed, my lord, the deep blue crystal rged with is a part of that unknown creature.”
The White Knight’s voice beca calm again as he continued with his description.
“Inside the burning palace, in a corner of the scorching battlefield where blue and red magma t, the unknown creature stared at for a while. Then an indescribable voice sounded in my ear.”
“It was like the mumbling in soone’s nightmare, the rustling noise of countless insects crawling by my ear, or the grating sound of a sharp object scraping against rough surface, saying to : ‘Do you want to keep living?'”
“As the sudden voice echoed in my mind, although I was terrified, I still tried to nod.”
“At that mont, the Loren Kingdom was in a critical situation, and as an Apocalyptic Knight responsible for guarding the kingdom, it was my bounden duty. If I could continue the fight, I would not hesitate even making a pact with the devil.”
“After that, I felt the world spin, and lost consciousness.”
At this point, the White Knight’s voice revealed a clear sense of loss, as if what he was about to describe filled him with regret.
“In the process of losing consciousness, I was not always in a completely unconscious state, but sotis in a semi-conscious state.”
“In that hazy state, I felt as if I was in an empty void, or perhaps in a warm body. It was very strange.”
“I don’t know how long it took, but when I opened my eyes again, I found myself in a place full of weeds and seemingly familiar ruins.”
“As I was astonished, I discovered that my broken armor was gone, my almost severed body had healed, and even scars couldn’t be seen.”
“But before I could be joyful, I realized that the ruins around were the remains of Loren Royal Palace!”
“Looking around, desolation filled my view. The once palace was now covered in wild vegetation, which undoubtedly ant that I had been gone for a long ti.”
“Feelings of loss, helplessness, regret, and anger flooded my mind all at once. Although the unknown entity had restored my body, it had also made miss everything.”
“The sounds of fierce fighting and the sneers of the enemies still echoed in my ears. The once strong and glorious kingdom of Knights and the overwhelming allied forces had disappeared in an instant, leaving only .”
The White Knight shook his head with a bitter smile, his voice full of bitterness and helplessness.
Upon hearing the White Knight’s account, the scene of him sitting on the ground, blankly gazing at his surroundings surfaced in Leo Ray’s mind.
Leo Ray found it hard to imagine what kind of expression he would have if he were in that situation.
Then, the White Knight’s voice once again entered Leo Ray’s ears.
“At that ti, I had only one question in my heart: since the kingdom I once guarded had turned into ruins, what was the aning of , as a guardian, surviving?”
“With this question, I began to wander like a walking corpse among the ruins.”
“Along the way, the once bustling familiar streets and the desolate broken ruins of today intertwined in my mory, until I discovered a small deep blue crystal embedded into my forehead.”
“After several attempts, I realized that the crystal was actually connected to my skull and couldn’t be removed.”
“At this point, I finally understood that to restore my body, a price must be paid, although I didn’t know what the price was at that ti.”
The White Knight heaved a deep sigh, as his story was coming to an end.
“Eventually, I found the answer in the ruins, which was to find the descendants of the Loren Royal Family and continue the guardianship.”
“Holding onto this belief, I left the ruins and ca to the nearest city, the Blue Cold Fortress, only to learn that more than 500 years had passed since the war that destroyed the kingdom.”
