Ark of the Immortal

The immortal thought for a while, but still didn't speak again.

Undead competition is essentially a life-and-death struggle.

The undead man had been teaching Melanza about this kind of battle from the very beginning. No matter how much he said, it was useless.

It is better to worry about Maria, this lively and cheerful girl, so far has not really raised the level of fighting to life and death.

However, it's too late now.

When the battle begins, the undead will also concentrate on dealing with their enemies, and will have no time to talk to them about this.

It all depends on individual performance.

Half an hour later, everyone had prepared their equipment and gathered at the door of the hotel.

Maria and Zofia also came to the undead to prepare for the attack.

It was still morning, but as players competing in the immortal competition, they naturally had to be prepared.

Most of the sixteen contestants in this immortal competition were not native residents of Minos.

But Rhode Island alone has taken five or six spots.

Immortal, Melantha, Maria, Shirter, Bloodthorn, Skadi.

It was the biggest surprise that Maria and Melanza were able to fight all the way to the Undead Tournament.

Because Shirter followed the undead, he could barely be considered half a Rhode Islander.

Maria is going to visit Rhode Island later, and Linguang is an operator of Rhode Island, so she can be considered half of it.

The other four are all external operators of Rhode Island.

The undead man looked at the altar of the Heroes Temple in the distance and said.

lets go.

...

The square in front of the Temple of the Twelve Heroes.

It seems that everyone is looking forward to today's battle celebration. As soon as the genius is revealed, they are already surrounded.

After squeezing among the crowd for a long time, the group of immortals finally arrived at the altar and found Pallas, who was responsible for leading the heroes.

You're here just in time, the festival will start shortly.

Pallas said as he led the six heroes to the rest room near the altar.

Although I know you are already prepared, I still want to remind you.

She looked solemn and unusually serious.

This is no ordinary battle. What you are about to face are countless heroic spirits in the long history.

This is an answer sheet to the heroes of the past. If we don't face it seriously, it will be a loss for everyone.

Melanza raised her head slightly. She had been mentally prepared long ago under the reminder of the dead man.

As for Maria, the more this time came, the more nervous she became.

After all, you are a fledgling knight, so it is normal to be nervous.

The undead man put his hand on Maria's head and rubbed it.

Maria's squeezed hands slowly loosened.

Relax.

he whispered.

Fight hard with respect, that's the best preparation.

good.

Maria responded in a low voice, placing her left hand on the hilt of the sword on her left waist, feeling the power coming from the sword, and gradually stabilized her mind.

The rest room is right next to the altar, and every hero participating in the undead competition has his own rest room.

As soon as the undead man entered the room, he saw the royal weapons temporarily placed on the altar.

It was at this time that the festival officially began.

From the Temple of Heroes far away from the altar, a bell was heard that was enough to silence everyone.

The sound of the bell was like light that washed away everything, spreading throughout the venue along with the slowly rising sun.

Boom!

After the bell rang, all the noisy sounds in the entire venue disappeared.

Everyone turned their attention to the door of the Temple of Heroes, which made a loud noise.

The stone door of the Temple of Heroes slowly opened.

Priests wearing black and gold sacrificial robes formed a long procession and slowly walked out of the temple.

The old man, who was the high priest, held a gorgeous piece of cloth in his hand.

The pattern on the cloth is made of black, supplemented by blue edge patterns.

And in the cloth, there was a ball of gray-white ashes.

There are many unburnt lumps among them, as well as mixed golden purified source stone fragments.

These are the ashes left behind after the death of the twelve heroes.

Those were the twelve warriors who saved millions of Minos. Even after his death, he can be regarded as a hero in the long history.

Now, they have passed away, and the bodies of the heroes have become nutrients for future generations to draw strength from.

The high priest, holding this ashes, slowly walked forward from the Temple of the Twelve Heroes.

Beside him, the priests held small royal vessels with flames burning in their hands, walking with the ashes.

After gradually walking down the stairs of the temple, the high priest came to the huge royal vessel he was visiting on the altar.

The high priest stared at the ashes in his hand and did not say a lot of words like he had just started holding a battle celebration.

Now he looked at the ashes in his hand. It's like saying goodbye to the past, closing your eyes slightly.

He knew that once the Arena of the Undead opened, Minos would truly say goodbye to their past.

From today on, they will embark on a path without holy objects or gifts from gods.

A faith that is truly made up of the human spirit.

However, this was both a helpless accident and a rare opportunity.

The struggle between Minos and Sargon continued for so many years, and it was time for Minos to change.

Opening his eyes, the old man poured all the ashes in his hand into the huge royal vessel in front of him.

As the flames drawn from the holy objects were poured into the royal vessel, another bell rang.

The priests had been waiting underground in the Temple of Heroes for a long time. After hearing the second bell, he placed his hand on the huge door.

Slowly pushed open the dusty iron door.

It was still impossible to see clearly through the fog inside. But in the mist, a faint red light appeared.

At the same time, in the royal vessel on the altar, the flame came into contact with the ashes, and the golden flame burned quietly against the ashes, just like the sun that had just risen.

Everyone can feel that something is about to appear. The heavy pressure lingered in their hearts and they couldn't breathe.

boom!

The flames that were still burning quietly suddenly suddenly shot up violently, and the entire royal weapon suddenly exploded in the fierce burning.

The high priest, who had long since withdrawn from the altar, was not harmed.

The exploded royal weapon turned into flying ashes before the stone flew out of the altar, swirling and intertwining with the flames.

The burning flames and ashes condensed into a ball in the air, and then dispersed again.

Sixteen flames flew towards the sixteen lounges, passed through the open windows, and landed in the round vessels that had been prepared in the center of each lounge.

The remaining flames in the air gradually spread and turned into a huge cover, covering the entire altar.

The ceremony is completed! Respectfully invite the heroic spirits!

Along with the high priest's loud shouting, the scene of the altar inside the cover suddenly changed.

In everyone's eyes, the scenes in the mask changed like a fleeting glance.

There are majestic castles and deserted deserts.

Finally, in the ever-changing scene, a dim yellow circular venue gradually became fixed.

Countless weapons were stuck in the ground, and there were broken tree stumps and countless gray-white embers scattered around.

The undead man stared at the place where the transformation was completed on the altar, and he held down the spiral sword hanging on his waist.

He saw the extinguished bonfire in the middle of the field.

Of course he recognized this place. Even if this was a scene simulated by flames, he would never forget what it looked like.

This is the beginning of everything and the end of everything.

Initial stove.

364. Heavy hammer

The initial furnace is where the first fire is born.

In that world where there is no light or darkness, the towering ancient trees that can be seen everywhere and the ancient dragons that occupy the sky are the main theme of the world.

Then, there was fire, and people found strength around fire. The place where the first fire exists is called the initial furnace.

After the Ancient Dragon War, in order to continue the First Fire and distribute its power to the gods, King Gwen went to the First Furnace alone and fed the fire with his body to last for thousands of years.

Therefore, King Ge Wen is also called the King of Wu Xin, the first person to continue the fire.

But even for a god, his power will come to an end, and there must be someone else to collect the separated souls and continue to pass on the first fire.

Therefore, there is a story about the undead going to Rodran, the land of kings, hunting the gods, collecting the souls of kings, and going to the original furnace to pass on the first fire.

Strictly speaking, only the immortal, a person without fire, can be regarded as the first person to spread fire.

The end of the Age of Fire may be a joke of the times. It is also the undead who wakes up from his slumber and has turned into ashes without fire, embarking on the road to end the troubled world.

Finally, in the initial furnace, he defeated the incarnations of the previous kings of salary, took over the spiral sword from the king's hand, and finally waited for the flames to extinguish.

The Immortal has visited this place twice, and each time it was the end of his journey.

But just seeing this, the immortal has endless thoughts in his mind.

Why is the Undead Competition here? He already had the answer in his mind.

When the scene in the light curtain was fixed, the audience made sounds and whispered again.

Some people speculated on where that scene was and why it looked like this. It looked like Ragnarok.

It was also the first time for the high priest to see the appearance of the initial furnace. He just continued to wait according to the prompts in the ancient books.

So, after everyone waited for a few minutes, the soldiers finally saw some changes in the scene.

In the center of the initial furnace, a white mark slowly revealed its light on the ground.

With a flash of white light, flames swept the runes.

As sparks burst out, a warrior wearing simple heavy armor, holding a giant hammer, stood up from the sea of ​​countless flower weapons and ashes, and smashed the giant hammer on his shoulder to his side.

He is over two meters tall. Just by looking at him, you will be shocked by his huge size and strong murderous aura.

The giant hammer in his hand made a hole in the sea of ​​ashes, and then he turned his head and began to look at the surrounding environment.

Why does this... feel a little familiar?

For people who have a little knowledge of Minoan history, the moment they see the image of this warrior, they feel that it is unexpectedly familiar.

Especially when you see the hammer in his hand and the coat of arms on the armor on his chest.

The Twelve Heroes? He's the Minoan hero who defeated an army of thousands with one man's strength.

Scholars with a little knowledge immediately remembered the descriptions in ancient books after seeing the attire on the warriors.
