While the Guardians were leading their men to search the sewers around the city of Lugoin, the Evil Covenanters hiding in the underground fortress of the Protective Front soon got the news that the plan had been leaked.

Mister, the legendary Evil Pact Priest in a colorful feather, was pacing up and down the hall, listening to the news from his men with a gloomy expression.

Behind him, Randall, the Legendary Pacter, sat on a stone bench, silently playing with the staff in his hand.

"Damn it! What the hell went wrong! ”

Hearing that the Devil's Bottle burial sites had been discovered and dug up by the Guardians one by one, Mister could no longer suppress the anger and doubts in his heart.

He jerked his head up, his eyes shining with a murderous glint at the group of Evil Pact's subordinates, obviously thinking that these people were among the leakers.

"There's no point in looking for the leaker anymore... According to the news from Kurast, our army is at least a day's way from Rugoin, and we must now find a way to make use of it......

Now that our original plan has been leaked, we can't just hang ourselves from this tree... But at least they can't stay here, and since they can find out about the plan for the potion, it's probably only a matter of time before they find out here, so our top priority now is to move as soon as possible and come up with a suitable replacement plan......"

Randall was silent for a moment, then suddenly stopped in his hand and said to Mister with his face hidden in the shadow of his hood.

"You're right, we need to get out of here!"

Mistre also nodded, glanced at the Evil Covenanters behind him, and then led the way in front with a gloomy face, and quickly led everyone out of the underground fortress.

Unbeknownst to them, however, Zagala only asked Chrysa to reveal the Devil's Bottle to Kane, and did not tell him about the Underground Fortress, because in the Swarm's tactical thinking, the Underground Fortress was not that important, and those human traitors could abandon the immovable building at any time.

An empty underground fortress has no meaning for the upcoming war, and the high-ranking commander of the swarm does not think about the political significance of this underground fortress.

As a result, the huge underground complex that was financed by the Izziquir family and took decades to complete, was abandoned by its last owner without hesitation, located hundreds of meters underground, and even under the sewers of Rugoin.

.......

While the Guardians of Lu Gaoin were fighting against the evil pact in the city against sabotage and sabotage, Xue Hua was standing in the ancient tomb of Talasya, staring at the strange scene in front of him.

Behind him, the stone door, which was as simple as two large flat stones, had been pushed open, and the light from the staff of Heradic pierced directly into the dark space behind the stone door.

The two small silver-white squares were suspended on Xue Hua's shoulders on both sides, one on the left and one on the right, and they emitted a bright silver-white light, like two strange balls of light that were quietly suspended.

Xue Hua had already walked into the dark space behind the stone gate, and with the light from the silver-white square on his shoulder, he saw the general appearance of the dark space behind the stone gate.

It was precisely because he saw this place clearly that he felt dumbfounded.

What appeared in front of him was neither the grand and splendid Great Hall of Seals covered with rune wrinkles, nor the lonely island of stone pillars that was filled with flames in the ravines below and connected to the shore by a drawbridge as seen in the game's CG anime.

What appeared in front of him was just a very ordinary cave, not even very big.

In the center of the cave, there is a stone pillar of two people hugging each other.

A large number of runes were engraved on the stone pillar, and dozens of huge chains the thickness of adult arms were broken and scattered on both sides of the stone pillar.

Behind the stone pillar, a large stone chest bound in countless rune chains was sitting quietly, like the treasure of the Demon King that appeared after the final level of some old side-scrolling game.

"It's... What do you mean? Forehead... Well... Shouldn't there be some demon king or demon god or something to block the way? ”

Xue Hua blinked, unable to believe that he had simply arrived at the final destination of this trip.

"Young man, what do you want?"

Suddenly, a voice sounded directly in his ears, and Xue Hua, who was in a daze, was so frightened that he almost sat on the ground.

"! There's really a roadblock! What a monster! Get your name now! ”

He took a sharp step back, drew his staff from his inventory, and waved it around with a wary look on his face, summoning the swarm to his side.

“... What a nice summon... Ha! Don't be so nervous, I'm not a monster... I'm the master here, aren't you here just to see me? ”

There was an indescribable lightness in the tone of the voice, as if it had just broken free from some restraint.

"You're... The owner here? You're Ta Rasha?! ”

As soon as Xue Hua heard this, the look of hell on his face suddenly became even stronger, not only did he not relax his vigilance as expected by that voice, but he also grabbed a gold-level embalming head with his other hand......

"......" Xue Hua's reaction made the voice very helpless, he knew that if he only existed as a voice, it would be difficult to win people's trust, so he turned into a light blue light and shadow, and showed his true body in front of Xue Hua.

It was a middle-aged man in a tricolored robe, with a large shiny beard and an impressive pair of eyes as bright as morning stars.

His face was thin and energetic, and there was a helpless smile on the corner of his mouth.

Xue Hua had seen this portrait in many places, and there was always only one name under these portraits.

- Ta Lasha.

"Even if you become Tarasya, I won't believe you're really him......"

Xue Hua rolled his eyes and complained unappreciatively.

He is not to blame, for in the various texts of this world, the soul of Talasha was destroyed long ago when Diablo liberated his brother Baal.

Baal directly took possession of the body of the great legendary mage, causing an unknown amount of trouble to the human race with the powerful energy remaining in his body.

“... But I really just... Okay, so how do you believe I'm Tarasya? ”

Light and shadow rolled his eyes helplessly again, this was the first time he had been questioned in person......

“... Forehead... That's right! Do you know this thing? ”

Xue Hua frowned and thought for a moment, and suddenly remembered something in the inventory, and then his eyes lit up.

It was supposed to be an item that Talasha had used in the past, and was later broken by Barr during the battle against Bar.

The role of this thing should only be known to the real Tarasha.

So, Xue Hua quickly took out a small hourglass from the inventory, spread it out in his hand and handed it to the guy in front of him who called himself Tarasya.

"Ahh Time Coffin... I didn't expect to see it again......"

As soon as Light and Shadow saw the thing in Xue Hua's hand, his face immediately showed a look of memory, he stretched out his hand to touch the broken hourglass, but suddenly remembered that he was just a wisp of remnant soul now, and he couldn't touch anything at all, so he withdrew his hand with regret on his face.

"It was the secret of my success... But now it's ending like this......

I don't know why this old fellow is in your hands, but it looks ......" He turned his head to look at the insect swarm beside Xue Hua, and then a smile appeared on his face.

"It looks like you're not losing to me back then... But I'm afraid it won't be able to help you as much as it did when I helped me, but please treat it well, okay? ”

"Uh... Yes? Oh! Good... Ok ......"

At this time, Xue Hua really didn't know what to say.

Is this a history error?

Or is there any special secret method for preserving souls in Talasha?

Or is there something else going on?
