Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 284 The mantis stalks the cicada
3 month 4 day.

Outside the safe route, on a mysterious island.

Klein and Alger carefully walked through the forest and explored the ruins deep in the island.

But even though they were cautious enough, some dangers still came suddenly.

Snapped!
Accompanied by the sound of dry branches being crushed, Klein stopped in front of Alger's surprised gaze.

His heart suddenly tightened, and the hairs on the back of his neck stood up.

This is a strong premonition of danger!
However, with this premonition, no corresponding image appeared in Klein's mind!

Without bothering to think about what was happening, he reached out and grabbed Alger's shoulder. At the same time, he opened the magic book he carried with him without hesitation and turned to a page. The symbolic symbols and mysterious patterns depicted on it all belonged to "travel".

The figures of the two people quickly became transparent and disappeared from the spot. They entered the spiritual world with rich and clearly overlapping colors and quickly shuttled towards the direction of the ancient ruins.

When the two of them left the spirit world and returned to reality, they landed in an area of ​​rubble and weeds, not far away was a building that had collapsed. They jumped over the invisible boundary and entered the area around the ancient ruins.

From the corner of Klein's eye, the area below the waist of the Hanged Man had turned gray, like a stone sculpture!

boom!
The two men fell to the ground at the same time, making a sound of stone hitting stone.

The thick shadow in their hearts disappeared, and the danger lurking in the darkness around them receded like a tide.

Huh... Klein breathed a sigh of relief. He saw the gray that had spread to his elbow gradually fade and shrink. He felt that his body was recovering rapidly after leaving the corresponding environment.

His vest was dripping with sweat, and his shirt was soaked through.

At this time, Alger also got rid of the gray layer, looked back at where he came from, and said in a deep voice:

"That area is petrifying us."

"I've been here a few times, but I've never encountered danger like this before."

Klein nodded thoughtfully, trying his best to show the calmness of a "crazy adventurer". In fact, he was also filled with fear.

If he hadn't rented the magic book from Miss Magician in advance, they would have been petrified without the blessing of teleportation!

This island is far more dangerous than he imagined!
Klein even felt a little regretful deep down in his heart, but he didn't want to leave just like that.

Klein and Alger looked at each other and quickly determined what the other was thinking—

Now that you are here, you might as well go in and take a look before leaving.

The two of them quickly walked up the exaggeratedly high gray-white stone steps and arrived in front of the doorway, where they saw the remaining classical stone columns and concentric multi-layered arches.

There are numerous murals painted on the walls of the ruins, most of which are related to the ancient sun god.

Just as Alger said, this ruin is like a church, a church of the ancient sun god.

But why would such a church appear on an uninhabited island? Could it be that those extraordinary creatures outside were worshipping the ancient sun god?

The two went deeper and deeper, through the ruins, and reached the underground area via the stairs at the end of the hall.

In the underground area, they found even more murals and a large number of stone statues with distorted faces filled with pain and despair!

They were all living people, including humans, elves and giants, but they were all petrified without exception.

But judging from the petrified area, it is still a long distance away from the ruins!
This means that either the owner of the petrified area once lived in this ruins, or these stone statues were moved here artificially after being petrified!

Klein was more inclined to the latter, because the placement of these stone statues was obviously intentional!
He didn't think that these people would deliberately find a good location to be petrified before being petrified.

But who would deliberately do such a thing?
"Is there anyone else living on the island? Or are there really extraordinary creatures who believe in the ancient sun god?"

Klein was filled with confusion, but before he could think about it, he suddenly heard a dull sound coming from far away.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
The ground shook slightly, becoming more and more noticeable. Then, Klein saw a figure nearly four meters tall walking out in front of him.

It is also grayish white in color, with scale-like patterns carved on its body. It has goat-like horns on its head and a hound-like mouth, revealing fangs when it is half open and half closed.

What attracts its most attention is its pair of burning red eyes and six pairs of gray-white membrane-covered wings!

The two of them held their breath almost at the same time, and the six-winged gargoyle seemed not to notice them and crossed the corridor horizontally.

call!
Klein breathed a sigh of relief and loosened the magic book in his right hand, but his left hand still tightly grasped a purple stone.

The two continued forward and saw a large number of murals carved on the walls on both sides.

Although most of them are in ruins, they still occasionally tell of the greatness and holiness of the ancient sun god.

Finally, they reached the end of the corridor and arrived at an underground cemetery hall.

Klein did not put himself in danger, but instead controlled the secret doll to explore forward.

There was water seeping from the high places of this tomb hall, making it appear very damp. The interior was divided into two parts, left and right, each containing twelve grayish-white dull sarcophagi. There was an empty circular area in the center, and there seemed to be an exquisite and complex painting on the corresponding ground - the Last Supper.

Klein's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and the thumping sound was so intense that even he could hear it!

That was the picture of the Eternal Sun, the Lord of Storms, and the God of Knowledge and Wisdom sharing the ancient sun god!
That was the scene where the Ancient Creator successfully used the Rose of Redemption to kill himself, but was tragically betrayed by an angel!

Alger lowered his voice and asked:
"what happened?"

Klein silently pointed to the circular area in front of him:

"See for yourself."

Alger was a little suspicious, but he believed that the 'world' would not murder him.

So he took a cautious and curious look, and then he was so terrified that he wanted to dig out his eyes!

Alger didn't dare to look any further. He turned around and looked at Gehrman Sparrow. He asked with a trembling voice:
"Those three are all Angel Kings?"

Klein fell silent. When he was sure that he would not be punished by God for viewing this scene, he asked the secret doll to continue observing.

He tried not to look at the details of the three 'Storm Lords' sharing the ancient sun god, and instead cast his gaze to the side of the corpse.

There was a huge oil painting there, and a little girl with white hair and mopping the floor was sitting on a high stool, painting by herself.

Beside him was a nun wearing a cloak and holding a sickle, guarding him.

"The eldest lady and Sister Friede."1
Klein recognized the identities of the two people almost at first sight, and finally determined the source of those painting worlds—

Just like the 'original world' uses the blood of darkness as paint, the other painting worlds in this world also use the blood of the ancient sun god as paint.

of course.

Klein actually understood that this painting was more of an image.

The scene at that time was definitely not the same as in the painting, where the three gods of the Storm Lords directly pounced on the corpse of the Ancient Sun God and shared the food. After all, what they wanted to snatch should be the gold coins that the Ancient Sun God dropped, that is, the uniqueness of the paths of Storm and Sun and the Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics.

But we have to admit that this kind of picture full of "imagery" is more impactful.

At this moment, the two suddenly heard a sharp sound.

It's like someone is inside a sarcophagus, picking at the lid with their fingernails!

No, not as if, it’s just like that!
Sizzle! Zila! Ziz!
There were three sarcophagi on both sides that made sharp and piercing friction sounds. Then, the heavy gray-white coffin lids were either opened or exploded directly, and three twisted figures stood up.

Klein and Alger's bodies tensed at the same time.

"Use the gravity stone!" Klein reminded in a low voice, and at the same time threw the purple stone in his left hand out without hesitation!
Alger also reacted and quickly took out a similar-looking stone and threw it at the three figures.

pat!

The stone fell to the ground with a thud, rolled for a while and stopped in front of the sarcophagus.

It seemed that it had no effect. The surging purple electric current stretched out from the ground like countless twisted tentacles, and the crackling sound was like something was about to break out of the ground.

At the same time, the three twisted figures happened to walk into the coverage of the gravity stone.

boom!
Countless sharp stone pillars protruded from the ground along the twisted purple electric current, piercing the three twisted figures directly like sharp spears!

"died?"

Alger looked at the three figures hanging on the stone pillars with a look of doubt and uncertainty.

The stone in his hand is a small 'prop' bought from Mr. 'Lover'. Although it cannot bring people back to life like the sacrificial ring, according to Mr. 'Lover', this stone has a strong killing power!

Now that I see it, doesn't it have a powerful killing power? !

“Anything produced by Ember must be of the highest quality.”

Klein was also still feeling scared. Fortunately, he had made all the necessary preparations before coming here.

Not only did he rent Lemano's travel notes from the 'Magician', he also asked Yu Jin for a batch of 'props'.

It’s a bit expensive, but it’s really edible!

And it’s a bit of a waste, those three people just died.

If we can bring them together, we can just use a gravity stone.

Just as he was thinking about it, Klein's expression suddenly changed.

Because the sharp sound of "sizzling" rang in his ears again!

At the same time, heavy running sounds were heard from the corridor at the back.

It's that gargoyle!

Alger almost stopped breathing and asked quickly:

"How many Gravity Stones do you have left?"

Klein and Alger stood back to back and said in a deep voice:

"There are two more. What about you?"

Alger was silent for a long time, then said silently:

"I only have the one I just saw."

The Gravity Stone was not cheap at 1000 pounds. He just bought one to try it out.

In fact, I just don’t believe in the effectiveness of this disposable prop and don’t want to spend too much money.

Klein almost stopped breathing.

Although three of the deceased have been dealt with, there are still nine crawling out of the coffins!
With the gargoyles blocking the road, two gravity stones are not enough!

Klein said quickly:

"You go hold back the gargoyle, and leave these dead to me!"

"it is good!"

Alger was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and walked towards the corridor.

He is already a Sequence 5 Ocean Singer.

Even if I can't kill the gargoyle, at least I can hold it back.

After watching Alger leave, Klein felt his scalp tingling as he looked at the deceased people surrounding him from all directions.

There is no other reason, it’s mainly because the appearances of these deceased people are too creepy!

Some of them had faces that were rotten and full of pits, and their necks, foreheads, and backs of their hands were covered with deep eyes.

Some of the surfaces were covered with a layer of green pus, and the pervasive mist emitted an inexplicable stench.

Some had thick, slippery tentacles covered in fish scales sprouting out from under their pants...

Each of these strange-looking deceased individuals possessed strength comparable to that of Sequence 5!
call!
Klein took a deep breath, reached into his pocket with his left hand holding Lemanno's travel notes, poked through the spiritual wall, and took out the Azik copper whistle with just two fingers.

The power of the Gravity Stone is obvious to all, and it is enough to kill a Sequence 5 Beyonder with a single blow.

The only problem is that the dead are too scattered.

At times like this, it is often necessary to gather monsters!
While Klein and Alger were engaged in a bitter battle.

Deep inside the church, a priest was watching all this calmly.

He was wearing an unusually simple white robe with a silver cross pendant hanging from his chest.

He had a light blond beard that covered the lower half of his face, his eyes were as clear and innocent as a child's, and his expression was warm and reserved.

He is waiting.

Wait until Klein throws out the Azik copper whistle, and wait until the dead are attracted by the whistle and gathered together.

When the gravity stone was activated, countless sharp stone pillars protruded from the ground and pierced their bodies.

Wait for Klein and Alger to team up to defeat the six-winged gargoyle.

Wait till they find the 'Tyrant' card.

boom!
Suddenly, dark stone pillars stood up around, supporting a magnificent church.

In this church, every pillar, every arch, and every dome surface was inlaid with bones of different races. They were densely packed, staring at Klein and Alger with different eye holes, surrounding a cross that was hundreds of meters long.

In front of the cross, a vague figure stood there, as if watching everything with compassion.

This is a church of bones. It is not eerie at all but full of holiness!

On the walls, windows, and doors of the church, transparent and distorted faces appeared, as if countless souls were sealed inside, making it impossible for the extraordinary people to feel the existence of the spiritual world and the astral world anymore!
"What the hell is this?!"

Alger's pupils suddenly shrank, and the Bone Church suddenly appeared, covering him and Klein in the burial hall.

And deep in the church, the priest with a warm expression was walking towards him step by step!
Angel!

A true angel!

Klein's spirit was sending out crazy warnings, but his body seemed to be restrained by some invisible chains.

Can't move!

This sudden change made Klein's face change slightly. Looking at Alger, who was also in a state of confusion but still able to move, and even walked silently to his side, Klein immediately realized that the angel was coming for him!
