Deep in the Cave of Hardship – Altar of Zakun

Seeing the rebels who turned against each other and the deputy leaders of the Holy Land Knights, Nebula stroked his chin and frowned slightly.

It's unbelievable!

You must know that the deputy commanders have been instructed by Captain Hook to not clash with the rebels before they set out.

Although the attitude of the rebels towards the Holy Land has not been very friendly, it has eased up a lot in recent times.

The situation on the rebels' side should be much the same as in the Holy Land, and neither side wants any more conflicts.

Presumably, like Hook, Gigmont gave a good advice to his companions who sent out support.

But why is this happening? Could it be ...... Is it the spirit of Zakun?

The Spirit of Zakun is an ancient existence, and its strength is not trivial. What he and the others destroyed was just the shell of the spirit of Zakun, and after the spirit of Zakun was scattered, it naturally merged into the underground magma again, slowly waiting for the opportunity to recover.

Speaking of which, the spirit of Zakun was affected by the dark and cold feelings of the inhabitants of the lava zone thousands of years ago, and gradually turned into a monster of the dark nature, and even manipulated the inhabitants of the lava zone to build Zakun stone statues for themselves.

Could it be ...... Helen and Bailey: Are they being manipulated by the Spirit of Zakun?

No! It's unlikely! They were already one hundred and twenty level powerhouses, and it was unlikely that even Zakun would be able to control so many fourth-rank masters at the same time!

At this moment, Nebula suddenly found himself faintly floating in an ominous black fog near him, and he remembered that there was no such black fog when he was crusading against Zakun!

Could this black fog be-

Negative Abyss!!

The negative abyss can seduce the negative emotions in the heart of the cursed, and then keep amplifying!

The negative abyss generally uses black mist and purple smoke as the carrier of the curse, and after coming into contact with the mist, it is equivalent to being entangled in the curse.

Under the influence of the Negative Abyss Curse, suspicion, jealousy, hostility, and anger between the rebels and the Deputy Master of the Knights of the Holy Land...... It's all infinitely magnified.

In this state of restlessness and mental uncertainty, it is not impossible for the spirit of Zakun to take advantage of the weakness......

No wonder Bailey and Helen were so excited, showing that they couldn't wait to tell the difference. And the Spearhead and Michelle also showed anger with the deputy commanders of the Holy Land, as if they were going to fight at any moment.

And the reason why Nebula was not affected by the negative abyss was probably because Nebula's spiritual power had exceeded two hundred levels.

The negative abyss is a two-hundred-level curse magic, and the objects affected are generally creatures below the two-hundred-level level, and the spiritual power of the nebula is not much better than that of the magic god, so it is naturally not easy to be affected by the negative abyss.

But fortunately, there is a purifying Rubik's Cube in his spatial ring, and although the negative abyss is terrifying, the resistance to divine magic is extremely low.

Nebula speculated that after using the purification magic of the divine attribute, the negative abyssal curse on the few of them should be greatly alleviated, if not completely broken.

Just when Nebula was about to take out the purification cube from the space ring and lift the negative abyss curse for everyone.

Nebula suddenly found that his limbs couldn't move! Even the spiritual power comparable to the god of law could not be released for a while!

Nebula looked back and found that his body had somehow become entangled in the dry reddish-brown branches.

This is - Zakun Tree!!

Sure enough, the spirit of Zakun still exists!!

This time, the spirit of Zakun did not sleep with the destruction of the stone statue of Zakun, I don't know who is secretly making trouble!!

Nebula wanted to use teleportation to escape from Zakun's shackles, but at this time, Nebula's spiritual power was temporarily sealed, and Nebula could be said to have a body of magic that could not be released.

Under the pull of the branches of the Zakun tree, the nebula continued to approach the main body of the Zakun tree.

At some point, most of the seals of the Zakun tree, which was sealed by countless iron chains behind the altar, had fallen off, and a gray-black deep vortex appeared in front of the main body of the Zakun tree.

The nebula was wrapped in the branches of the Zakun tree, and was thrown into this gray-black vortex without resistance......

When Nebula opened his eyes again, Nebula found that the Zakun tree that attacked him had disappeared, and this was no longer the Zakun Altar, but a huge ruin, and he was standing in the middle of the vast ruin square.

There are countless red clouds floating in the sky above the mysterious space, and countless strange-shaped stone statues are placed around the space, and their stone statues are somewhat similar in style and face to Zakun.

On the edge of the mysterious space are more than a dozen towering stone pillars, which are engraved with many strange inscriptions, which look like they have been for some years.

Ancient stone statues, mysterious totems, mysterious inscriptions......

In this space, Nebula felt a faint sense of vicissitudes......

Suddenly, a violent gust of wind blew towards Nebula, and the dust in the sky made Nebula unable to open his eyes and cough violently.

Without hesitation, Nebula raised the Ice Origin Shield and waved the Ice Spirit Bead Staff in his hand, instantly sending out a whirlwind.

Although when holding the Ice Spirit Bead Staff, using magic other than ice and lightning will greatly reduce its power.

But even if the power of the cyclone is weakened, there is still no problem in driving away the sand and dust in front of you.

When the dust was blown away, Nebula vaguely saw a black shadow floating motionless in the sky directly in front of him.

After the wind cleared, Nebula looked at the black-robed man in confusion...... I have a sense of déjà vu, have I seen it somewhere before?

The black-robed man floated in mid-air, just quietly looking at the Nebula in the center of the ruins square, and the Nebula didn't speak rashly because he was trying to guess the identity of the black-robed man.

The black-robed man sighed lightly and said to Xingyun, "Sure enough! It's still a little hard to force you out of the altar with the death light! ”

The voice...... You guy!! Could it be—Shadow Song? After hearing the voice and tone of the black-robed man's voice, Xingyun asked the black-robed man in surprise.

The black-robed man didn't answer Nebula's question, but directly took off his hood, revealing a pale and delicate young face.

Deep black eyes, soft short black hair, delicate and perfect facial features and fair skin...... Isn't this exactly the movie song?

Just as Nebula was about to say hello to Shadow Song, Nebula suddenly remembered what Shadow Song had just said.

Sure enough! It's still a little hard to force you out of the altar with the death light! ’

Could it be ...... When he and the others were fighting with Zakun's body, it was this guy who controlled Zakun's body!?

Nebula's face was gloomy, and he held back his anger and confronted Shadow Song, "Shadow Song!" Why are you doing this!? ”

Shadow Song showed a hint of a nonchalant smile, slightly curled the corners of his mouth, and replied to Nebula without any scruples: "Nebula! Are you too forgetful? I'm a Dark Mage's subordinate! And you are members of the Anti-Black Mage Alliance, isn't it normal for you to be hostile to each other? ”

After hearing Shadow Song's answer, Nebula was stunned for a moment, he never thought that he was almost against Akayl, and Shadow Song, who had helped him, would actually become his enemy at this time!

Xingyun bit his lip lightly and questioned Shadow Song again in a deep voice, "Shadow Song! Is Zakun Tree in your control? And what's going on with the negative abyss? What is your purpose? Could it be said!! You want ......"

Halfway through the question, it occurred to Nebula that if the rebels and the Knights' Deputy Captains allowed things to continue and the conflict between the two sides escalated again......

Seeing Nebula's frightened expression, Shadow Song pursed her lips and chuckled and replied to Nebula, "It seems that you have already guessed!" As long as you continue to stay in the cursed fog of the negative abyss and the spiritual temptation (harmony) of the Zakun Tree Spirit, the Knights and Rebels will definitely do it! ”

"As long as they start to do it, under the reinforcement and deepening of negative emotions, it is inevitable that there will be deaths and injuries. The rebels and the Knights, no matter which side of the people falls, it is impossible for the two sides to cooperate in the future! Shadow Song clasped her hands and continued coldly to Nebula.

Hearing Ying Ge's answer, Xingyun gritted his teeth fiercely, he didn't expect that Ying Ge, a seemingly honest guy, would come up with such a sinister plan!

Previously, the Holy Land failed to send reinforcements to the rebels due to force majeure, which directly led to the rout of the rebel army, but it stands to reason that the Holy Land was not too much at fault.

Think about it from another perspective, if the Holy Land is asking for help, and the rebel reinforcements cannot be sent in time because of the attack, the Holy Land will not be too harsh.

After all, who has the spare strength to send reinforcements when they can't protect themselves?

The reason why the rebels have been bothering about this matter is because they don't know how big the crisis facing the Holy Land at that time is, and they just think that the Holy Land is fattened by breaking its promise.

But with the contact with the Holy Land, the rebels also slowly understood that the Holy Land was indeed in trouble at that time, but the rebels couldn't let go of it for a while, after all, they had hated it for so long......

In this way, the two sides have the possibility of ignoring their previous suspicions, and this Zakun crusade is actually a run-in between the rebels and the Holy Land.

Otherwise, there are so many masters in the Holy Land, why do you have to ask the rebels to send reinforcements?

There is such a thing as cooperation, as long as there is one time, there will be a second time.

With the gradual deepening of cooperation, there is a great possibility that the two sides will become allies again!

However, Shadow Song's ruse directly shattered the possibility of cooperation between the rebels and the Holy Land.

What would the rebels think if one of the rebels had fallen, and the wounds on the corpse were caused by the Knights' unique attack skills?

What would the Holy Land think if one of the Vice-Masters of the Order had died, and the wounds on the corpse were the result of the Rebels' unique attack moves?

Moreover, after the negative abyss curse is lifted, it will not leave any traces, coupled with the powerful "evidence" of high-level weapons and equipment and skill manuals, it is difficult for the two major forces not to turn their faces.

No force will ally with a force that holds a grudge against it, so what if the other side stabs itself at a critical moment?

For Nebula, this time the crisis is bigger than ever, and if it is not handled well, the Holy Land and the rebels may really turn against each other......

(Ahem, the villain is here!) ）
