Chapter 166 Facing the Void

Chapter 166 Facing the Void
Huh? Is that why we're here?

The Night Watchmen were a little confused. Weren't they here to investigate and help the elves take back the Tree of Life?

But on second thought, it seems to be true. I can’t get it back without clearing the void.

And it is obvious that the void is the ultimate goal of their oath.

Hearing Kana's arrogant words.

Cuiyu suddenly lowered her huge head, and a feeling of oppression came all at once.

His head was almost touching Cana's, his two huge eyes flashing with a deadly aura.

"You know... what are you talking about?"

There was seriousness in his tone.

Cana nodded fearlessly: "Of course I know, haven't you understood after all I've said before?
I understand the void, better than you and anyone here. I know better than you the dangers and horrors of the void.

But just as I am watched by the world, I have sworn an oath that the Night's Watch will protect the world from the erosion of the Void.

I don't want to greet the end of the world while living a happy life. I will resist, I will struggle, I will fight. Even if I fail in the end, at least I have tried.

The Void will eventually be our enemy, and we will eventually face him, and for this I have been preparing."

Having said that, Kana clenched his fists tightly and pulled out the prince's sword.

“The preparations made by the Night Watchmen have begun to bear fruit, and it is time for them to face what they will eventually face.

Only by knowing the fear we will eventually face can we calmly face the meaningless things that come before the fear comes."

After saying this, Cana calmed down his excited tone.

He said slowly: "Those are just the vanguard. If even the vanguard is afraid, if even the vanguard cannot be eliminated.

Then the Night's Watch would have no meaning at all."

The Void's vanguard forces are all weak troops used for reconnaissance, and their main features are small size, fast speed and large number.

If this thing can't be solved, then don't play and wait for the end of the world.

After he finished speaking, the whole scene fell silent.

Jadeite remained in this position, staring at Kana.

After a long while, she murmured, "Night Watchman?"

Put your head back again.

Seems to have figured it out.

"In that case, let's do it."

Having said that, she turned around without hesitation.

The tail drew a circle around the sapling, and emerald green energy vines surrounded it.

Dragging its huge body, it began to walk in another direction.

Kana blew a whistle, and the Chocobos came quickly from behind. Kana turned over and rode on them.

"What are you still standing there for? Follow me."

The stunned people nearby finally reacted and quickly mounted their Chocobos.

He quickly followed behind Cui Yu.

At this time, everyone had no intention of communicating and was trying to think.

No one knows what each of them is thinking.

The jadeite in front was moving through the forest, and despite its huge body it did not seem to have much power.

The emerald green figure was like a dream, moving through the forest as if it had turned into a phantom, without affecting any plants.

Even on the ground, no trace was left.

After walking all the way, we soon arrived at the place where Cui Yu once rested.

The trees here are unusually tall, and each one is like a skyscraper, reaching straight towards the sky.

But the special structure allows the sun in the sky to shine through the gaps.

As a result, even though this forest is covered by dense and huge trees, you can still feel the warmth of the sun.

The vines and tree roots, like woven ropes, have woven what look like paths and bridges everywhere in the sky.

When they arrived here, everyone turned around and started observing.

"Some kind of ruins?" asked Popot.

Because there seem to be traces of buildings on many tree trunks and vines, and some stones are fused together with the vines.

At the foot of many logs, traces of destroyed man-made structures were also seen.

This should have been a city in the forest, but it has long been destroyed.

Soon they saw what might be their destination.

There are no huge trees blocking the view on the hillside.

On this hillside surrounded by giant trees, the sunlight shines through without any obstruction, making it a warm golden area.

But there is a very obvious man-made building on the hillside, like a wonder.

I don’t know what kind of power constructed it, but it’s a place that looks like an altar.

Gray stone pillars fell from the sky in the sunlight.

Cross each other and support each other.

The stone pillars formed a circular altar, and the platform was supported in mid-air by the stone pillars.

The drawings and carvings on it have become rough under the erosion of time and their original appearance is no longer visible.

Below the altar, you can see where the Jadeite once rested. There is an obvious, huge and tidy nest.

Right next to the nest, there was a deep pit that collapsed from the side of the hillside, and an ominous aura was spreading from it.

Even without anyone's explanation, everyone looking at that place knew that there might be a sealed and suppressed void underneath.

Jade stopped.

“This place was once home to a group of living beings, but the Void emerged from the deep pit and destroyed it.

When I arrived, this place had become a ruin. I cleared out all the void creatures on the ruins.

I used my own power to seal and suppress the spatial breach below the deep pit, and stayed here to prevent the void from coming out again."

Kana jumped off the Chocobo and walked step by step to the side of the deep pit, feeling the unsettling atmosphere. This feeling was deeper and stronger than in the game.

Cuiyu looked at the people standing by the cave.

"Want to go down and take a look? Try to see if you can shoulder the responsibility of your oath."

After saying that, she added, "Don't worry, if you encounter danger, I will pull you out."

Kana nodded without hesitation: "I want to go down and take a look, just a few people will do."

Cuiyu nodded and didn't care. She just wanted to see whether these boastful people could destroy these monsters and strengthen their will as they said.

Seeing that Jade had agreed, Cana addressed the group directly, "Me, Aliris, Maxim, and Hiswanta. Just the four of us."

Looking at Popot and Lelia who clearly wanted to get involved, Cana didn't give them time to speak: "We're just going down to take a look and understand the situation, and then we'll let you come down."

After saying that, he looked at Maxim and the others who were named and said, "Is that okay?"

The two naturally had no problem and nodded. After all, if they wanted to take back the Tree of Life and ensure its safety, they would have to face those creatures.

At this time, Kanata turned his head and looked at Cuiyu: "Then let us go down."

Cuiyu nodded, and four emerald green vines shot out from behind her and tied around the waists of the four people.

After it was fixed, Cana nodded.

Aliris came to the deep pit.

"Let's go."

After saying that, he and Aliri jumped down without hesitation, followed closely by Maxim and the other two.

The four of them fell down together.

As soon as they fell down, it was pitch black. Fortunately, both Kana and Maxim had dark vision.

Stepping on the bump next to the deep pit, I watched the slope below keep jumping down.

After jumping down for a long time, they finally reached the bottom. In the darkness, they could see a purple light flashing in the distance, and there was also a crackling sound.

There are a large number of plant vines clinging to the walls on both sides. These plants and vines are obviously not ordinary things, but are composed of some kind of force.

Maxim took a closer look and said, "These should be the seals made by the giant beast."

In this dark cave, these plants emitted a faint light, which also illuminated the surrounding path for them.

Everyone drew their weapons and slowly moved forward.

The closer you get to the front, the sparser the surrounding vegetation becomes.

Then they came to the exit above a pit, and what came into their eyes was a huge underground space.

Next to them was the end of the vine, from where they could see everything below.

The entire vast geographical space was illuminated by purple light, which emitted a faint glow and formed a halo.

What Kana and the others saw were purple creatures scattered everywhere, stretching to an end that they could not see.

Right below where they could clearly see it.

Several humanoid creatures, their bodies covered with purple crystals and glowing purple tumors.

The crystals on his body were like gems, emitting a purple light that was even purer.

The swollen tumors on the limbs emitted a faint purple light, which looked extremely uncomfortable.

The original race of these humanoid creatures can no longer be identified, as they have completely merged with the purple crystals.

It stood there like a sculpture, motionless, with only the light emitted by the crystals on its body flickering, like breathing.

In addition to humanoid creatures, there are also various beings that are obviously fused with animals.

Rabbits, deer, monkeys, snakes, pigs... and so on, almost all kinds of creatures are there, and there are also some huge insects.

These are easier to identify than humanoid creatures. They have also merged with the purple crystals on their bodies and no longer resemble their original appearance.

If it weren't for the various characteristics of their past as animals that they still have on their bodies.

It can be seen from observation that their size has increased a lot, seemingly due to fusion with the crystal.

"Is this the void? Is it like a parasite that lives on other creatures?" Maxim, who saw something, couldn't help but ask.

Kana shook his head: "That's not the case, they were simply affected and swallowed by the power of the void and became part of the void.

Those are the true void creatures."

Kana pointed into the distance.

A few people looked over and saw the creature that Kanasso was pointing at.

It was a thing that looked like a worm and a beetle.

Curled up in a ball, unlike other creatures, there was unusually little sense of disharmony on his body.

Whether it is the glowing part under the flesh or the purple crystal that is integrated with the body, they are all natural and there is no sense of being pieced together.

"Spreading worms, they are responsible for spreading the power of the void and luring those creatures to accept the erosion of the void."

These are actually the most basic units of the Void, with agile speed, tenacious life, and almost no offensive ability.

In addition, next to it, there is another creature that looks obviously more aggressive.

The size is like a cheetah.

But the structure of its entire body is a bit strange. It has four legs at the bottom, but the structure of the legs is like that of an insect.

The upper body is a cone-shaped structure with arms extending from both sides. The arms are extremely sharp like blades.

The pointed vertebra seems to be its head, and it does not look like a living creature at all.

"The Void War Beasts' appearance is not fixed. It changes depending on the creatures that are devoured and transformed by the power of the void."

Simply put, this basic combat unit is actually transformed from various existences that have been devoured by the power of the void.

Generally, they are transformed from weaker creatures to become such basic combat units.

"You mean, if these beings are completely devoured by the power of the void, they will turn into that kind of war beasts?" Hiswanta roughly understood and asked from the side.

Kana nodded.

But don't underestimate such basic combat units. You should know that even the most basic combat units are just various ordinary wild beasts and animals that have been transformed by the power of the void.

But once they are successfully transformed, the most basic level is level four.

That is, the level of soldiers in the elite corps of major forces and big countries.

Soldiers from ordinary countries may only be at level two or three.

Not even as good as the most basic and weakest cannon fodder in the void.

Just by comparing them, you can tell how huge the gap is.

Not to mention, this isn't even the Void's weapon; the real weapon is what you have to face when fighting them.

"Go down and try your hand."

As he said that, Kana actually jumped without hesitation, followed closely by Aliris.

Maxim and the other man looked at it and jumped down as well.

It seems that it is because these creatures have been suppressed for too long, or it is because the creatures under them have not yet been completely transformed into void creatures.

Kana and the others jumped down and left the sealed place. These creatures did not move, and even stood there motionless.

"Don't make too much noise while fighting, or you'll wake up those far away."

As Kana spoke, he strolled over. As Kana got closer, the humanoid creature affected by the void that was closest to them suddenly shook.

Some mud, stones and dust fell off his body.

He seemed to be looking up, raising the part of his head that was no longer there and was replaced by a crystal.

Although there is no head, there is an object in the shape of an eye inside the crystal.

Purple light flickered there.

He immediately looked at Kana and others.

[Status: Void Gaze]

[Void Gaze: You are being watched by the power of the void. Be careful and vigilant, and strengthen your will, otherwise the power of the void will invade your spirit.]

"Hmm!" Hiswanta groaned and couldn't help but take a step back. He pressed his head with his hands and closed his eyes.

Maxim's expression was just a little grim, and his reaction was not as big as Hiswanta's.

"My head is a little dizzy," said Hiswanta.

Only then did Kana explain: “When intelligent creatures fight the void, the first difficulty they face is to strengthen their will under the power of the void.

If your will is not strong enough, the power of the void will shake your mind, causing you dizziness and headaches, and even give you nightmares after the battle."

Simply put, just seeing it will cause mental impact and shock.

Hear this.

Aliris looked at her status bar.

Why does it feel like nothing has changed for the Night's Watch?

Maxim also asked at this time: "Why do you seem to be unaffected?"

"Because we have blessings and protection, and the world is watching."

Do you really think that Kana's oath was a joke? With this oath, the influence of similar forces in the world's homeland will be weakened.

Coupled with the special changes brought about by blessing, that is, digitization, the impact of the void will be even greater.

Unless Kana and the others' spiritual attributes are reduced to only two or three points, they will not be affected at all.

The status bar provides a status, which is just to remind them what situation they are in.

At least such ordinary weakening will not work on the Night's Watch.

Maxim and Shiswalta, who had recovered, nodded as if they understood.
