53. Chapter 53
What surprised him even more was that as he got closer and closer to the old Rose Castle, he felt a very familiar but long-lost...comfort.
It was like being poured into a large mouthful of fresh air, or jumping into a pool of warm spring water in the ice and snow, or a cool breeze that suddenly came from the cold and hot summer.
In short, it made him unconsciously relax his whole body.
However, soon, he woke up with a sensation. What makes people feel relaxed and happy in this dangerous environment may not be a good thing. And what makes him feel happy may not be a good thing for ordinary people.
Especially, this feeling reminded him of something, something he had ruined with his own hands...
Once this thought appeared in his mind, his hand holding the reins tightened sharply: "Osvid! Turn back!"
He grabbed the reins and pulled them back suddenly, but found that the huge beast under him did not stop moving forward.
"Osvid?!" Kevin called out, his face turned solemn and cold, and he immediately felt that things were abnormal. Everything seemed to be coming even more serious than he expected.
However, Osvid did not respond immediately, and still flew forward without saying a word, with no intention of slowing down.
And at this time, he could even feel the strong wind rippling from the horse's whistle behind him and the sound of huge wings flapping behind him.
What's going on?!
He turned around in shock and found that the first march, which was originally left far behind by him and Osvid, suddenly rushed up and got closer and closer, even more than they were.
"Wood! Back!" Kevin shouted to the people below on Tianlang's back, but found that Wood and Nick were like Osvid, as if they were deaf ears and indifferent to his words.
"Dear?! Back!" Kevin grabbed the reins tightly, trying to slow down the speed of the Tianlang. On the other hand, he bent down and rushed to the army running wildly on the ground.
Because the wind was too strong and too strong, he almost had to roar to pass his voice over, but after two calls continued, he still had no effect.
Are you all crazy?! Kevin was stunned on Tianlang's back for a moment, but his eyes were once again attracted by the dense crowds near the Rose Old Fort.
Because as the distance approached, he was shocked to find that among the crowd, there was actually a flag of the Bronze Army of the Golden Lion Kingdom.
He was so familiar with the flag that he only glanced at it in a vague way, and before he could even see the patterns on it clearly, he easily recognized it.
The bronze army left at the base camp of the Golden Lion Kingdom were later mixed up by Osvid and several other armies. At this time, only two groups of people were holding single military flags.
One group jumped into the depths of the Great Rift with Kevin and others, and was responsible for meeting the people of each city in another secret passage. The other group was the garrison troops who were ordered to guard the border area between the desert and the Golden Lion Kingdom, that is, the army led by Mio.
Whether from the route or the distance, the only ones that gathered at the foot of the old Rose Castle at this time may be the latter.
But Mio is not a person who acts randomly without following orders. Why did he give up on the border and bring his army here?!
What made him even more panicked was that there were obviously more than Mio at the foot of the old Rose Castle. Judging from the large-scale armor with different colors, the dense crowds included Leiyin City and the group of scattered soldiers from large and small city-states in Peida City, which looked like the remnants of the sand ghost attack.
If he wasn't dazzled, there were even the frontier guards of the Northern Jade Kingdom... and some people who did not come from the army.
Kevin squinted his eyes, looked into the distance through the vast wind and smoke, and swept around from front to back...
My heart suddenly skipped a beat - because he could see more small black dots like ant moving towards this place little by little.
It seemed like he was in a pilgrimage for thousands of miles, and he gathered here in a daze regardless of obstacles.
It seems that the ruins of the old Rose Castle, which had been buried in the wind and sand for hundreds of years, suddenly became a holy place for the entire continent.
Looking at this scene, Kevin was stunned for a moment, and his face suddenly calmed down. His drooping eyelashes covered his eyes, making people unable to see the emotions in his eyes...
Although he was still a distance from the old rose castle and although there were two rotating wind nests blocking half of his vision, he had almost guessed what the old rose castle had existed.
Osvid's eyes were straightforward, but his wings were slightly tilted half of the side as if they were guided by something. In a circling posture, he gradually bypassed the two wind nests that blocked most of the ruins. The old rose castle, which was left with only ruins, finally showed the whole picture in Kevin's eyes.
And the things hidden in it were finally revealed intact-
It was a giant bird more than one person tall, hanging its long tail feathers, resting on a high broken wall. It was covered with a layer of dazzling light like the sun, so that people could not see its true appearance at all, except for its slender outline and dark eyes.
Its wings carry burning red flames, and the burning fire is full of strong vitality, as if it will never be extinguished.
The more people gathered, the more dazzling the outline of the giant bird became.
Until Kevin appeared above the old Rose Fort, the motionless giant bird suddenly came to life and raised his head and whistled in the direction.
At the same time, the light from its body suddenly poured out, as dazzling as another sun in the world.
The body of the sky wolf under Kevin suddenly sank, as if he could not bear the light flowing out of the giant bird. At that moment, he fainted like a heavy blow.
Fortunately, the huge wings helped him cushion the speed of his fall, and at the moment he landed, Kevin suddenly turned over and jumped down, protecting its head.
The Tianlang fell heavily to the ground, fainted and then disappeared without a sound. The powerful march came from behind, and under the impact of light, people and horses fell to the ground, smashing the wind and sand in the sky.
The people on the outside just fainted, as for the people inside...
Kevin closed his eyes and clenched his fingers on his side into fists. He raised his feet and strode towards the broken wall of the old castle. The crowds of people in front of him almost caused any obstacles and spread out with a slight wave.
Because they have long lost consciousness.
Tens of thousands of people gathered here, looking inside from the periphery, in addition to the dense heads, there were also dense heads. This was a very amazing scene, even creepy.
And those who were unconscious fell to both sides like a split tide at the moment when Kevin was lined up. Their posture of falling to the ground was very strange, as if they were driven to kneel down by some force.
This posture made Kevin frown even more tightly, and his face had never been so awesome.
And the more he walked, the ugly his face became, as cold as he had just dug out of an ice cellar, because the sand he stepped on was getting wetter.
It is not water that is soaked in it, but blood...
Kevin didn't know what the people gathered here had experienced before he came here. They were far less lucky than those who later. Except for some of them who were unconscious, more people no longer had their heartbeats and breathing.
The moment they died, they even stood upright. Because there were too many people, they gathered together, and few people fell down.
It was not until the moment Kevin pushed them away that he maintained a look of surprise and leaned over in a pious manner with a pious kneeling position.
At first, Kevin subconsciously held it with his hands, but later he closed his eyes and stopped stretching out his hand. Because he couldn't help him, even if he helped him, those people wouldn't be beating anymore.
Gurgling blood flowed out of their bodies. I could see at first glance, and I didn't even know where the wound was.
Kevin, with blood dripping his feet, walked step by step to the damaged tower of the old Rose Castle, and faced the giant bird that had been covered with light and flames.
His pale skin, which has been awakened from the ground of Andoha's Milestone, finally began to turn a little bloody.
Just as a person who has not recovered for a long time has finally begun to slowly recover from his health, but his expression is not pleasant, even silent and heavy.
This huge holy object is the immortal bird, the original divine nature of the God of Light, the one he crushed by his own hands in that dusk tens of thousands of years ago.
He never thought that he could meet his divine nature again, after all, no one could recondensate the already destroyed divine nature.
There will be no second person who will do this except Merlot. His purpose for this is obvious—
Let Kevin regain the divine character, and then kill him with his own hands to inherit the divine character forever.
Kevin can choose not to accept it, but the purest divine nature will constantly attract people to come for pilgrimage under the wrapping of body, and then they will be like those who gather here at this time, because they cannot bear the light of the divine nature, or die, or sleep.
He can also choose to destroy his divine character with his own hands, just like he did tens of millions of years ago. Then he and Melo will be trapped in a cycle again and will never stop.
Or, he has a third option...
Kevin stared at the Immortal Bird's eyes, as if he was recalling something through it. After a moment, a sarcastic sneer appeared from the corner of his mouth.
He stretched out a hand to the arrogant giant bird and said in a deep voice: "I'm back."
The immortal bird screamed, swept its wings, leaned down from the broken wall of the tower, and melted into Kevin's body.
The dazzling light bathed around it enveloped Kevin. The golden flame wrapped in two wings was held into Kevin's hand and turned into a golden longbow in an instant.
The person standing in the prosperous light was tall and slender, and the blood stained on his feet added a bit of solemnity to the holiness.
"Do you like the gift I give you? Ordinary people should kneel down at the feet of the gods. This is my last respect." Merlot's slow and light voice came along the wind on all sides, but he didn't know where it originated.
The person in the Holy Light smiled coldly and drew a long golden arrow out of thin air on the bow. He shot straight in a certain direction without looking.
The black wind in the air suddenly turned into a snake-like shape, and was instantly nailed by the arrows that suddenly arrived, scattering everywhere. Merlot's voice also ended abruptly.
The archer tilted his head slightly with his bow in his hand, and his dark and silent eyes swept across millions of people.
This is exactly the same scene as the old priest Mogley of the priests, but he sees not the past, but the future...
The God of Light is back.
