Chapter 35: Return to Morvia (5)

As soon as his hands were closed, the black flame began to rise on Stannis's body, different from the high-temperature and high-heat red fire of the "Flame Bloodline" inherited by the Molmansteen family, this black flame did not exude half a point of temperature, but gave people a gloomy and cold feeling.

The Lady of Silence controls a special flame called "Fire of Silence", which is the product of the manifestation of her priesthood and authority, and then is impregnated by the power of the Endless Abyss, and further has a terrifying corrosive power, even if it is the divine power of the gods, it can be eroded and burned by this fire of silence, which is extremely powerful, and the black flame that Stannis has at this moment is naturally not the fire of silence, but it is impregnated with a trace of the breath of the fire of silence, and has many abilities such as erosion and soul burning, and the lethality is also extremely impressive.

Stannis is a restrained and forbearant person, since he was a child, he was judged to have deteriorated bloodline, he lived under the contemptuous eyes of the people around him, which developed his extremely introverted and inferior character, and now not only did he get his wish to obtain the Moore Duchy, but also broke through the limitations of the bloodline and became a legend, you must know that although the Moormansteen family has been passed down for countless generations, there has never been a legend, and the power of the "Flame Bloodline" itself does not have the potential to support a professional to become a legend.

And the opposite of inferiority is arrogance, and now Stannis, who has gained great power, is full of pride and pride in his heart, and he really wants to be able to tell the world and let everyone know that he is powerful, but then the scenes of the battle of the Holy City of Light flashed in his mind, and he immediately withered again.

There's no way, it's not going to wilt, the intensity of the battle of the Holy City of Light is beyond his imagination at all, not to mention anything else, the legend of the Lightfall in that battle, the Radiant Empire and the Endless Abyss add up to more than ten, and they are all experienced and veteran legends, how can he, a junior who has just advanced to the legend by divine grace, be comparable?

He really opened his eyes in that battle, and he was originally ambitious to prepare for the war, and made war exploits to make the Radiant Empire, the number one power in mankind, owe him favors, and the result was ...... When a large group of abyssal demons and a team of holy warriors slaughtered in front of him, and demonic spells and divine spells flew everywhere, he was almost frightened, and involuntarily huddled in the hotel, and he didn't even have the strength to go out.

Fortunately, the hotel area is not the main attack area of the Abyss Demon, but it is the tightly defended area of the Radiant Empire, the three royal families and the three major temples have sent elite troops to defend, and those guests are also strong gathered, there are several light legends, such as Olena who took the initiative to participate in the battle to help the Radiant Empire, and there are also those who stay in the hotel to protect themselves, so the entire battle of the Holy City of Light The hotel area is generally safe, only some demons' stragglers approached, and then they were all wiped out.

But this kind of battle still frightened Stannis, there was no way, his background, his experience, and his status determined that his vision was only so big, and in horror, he even waited for the battle of the Holy City of Light to end before fleeing in a hurry, which surprised Gwynleia, who had always sent people to monitor him.

And afterwards, after the panic subsided and his brain regained his composure, feelings of remorse, shame, and inferiority suddenly grew in Stannis's heart, and he could only attribute it all to his lack of strength, if he was strong enough, he would also fight bravely, he would also stand up, and he would also become a hero to resist the demons of the abyss, as long as he had the strength......

This is also the psychological basis for his final choice to sacrifice his people at all costs in exchange for great power.

However, at this moment, with the power of legend, and thinking back to the scene of the Battle of the Holy City, Stannis was still very frightened, which made him have to realize that he was really a coward, because he still did not have the courage to devote himself to that kind of intense war.

He's a coward!

"No—"

A wild howl suddenly came from Stannis's dormitory, and immediately a thick black pillar of flame rose into the sky, and the pillar of flame quickly spread, and the entire dormitory and the surrounding buildings suddenly dissipated.

The guards of the Grand Duke's Mansion were alarmed by the black flame pillar and hurriedly gathered from all directions, but when they arrived, they only saw a large area of ruins, and Stannis was standing in the center of the ruins, surrounded by black flames, looking extremely strange.

"His Royal Highness the Grand Duke......"

"What happened, His Royal Highness?"

"Are there any assassins? Where are the assassins? ”

The guards were talking, and an officer leaned over to Stannis, the nephew of Stannis's deceased wife, who was a hardcore confidant and trusted by Stannis.

However, as soon as he approached and didn't open his mouth to ask, Stannis, who had been keeping his head down, suddenly raised his head, only to see two clusters of black flames burning in his eyes, and his gaze glared at the officer, and the officer's body suddenly gave birth to black flames out of thin air, and suddenly it burned brightly.

The fine steel heavy armor on the officer's body was instantly eroded into countless pieces by the black flame, and then the black flame penetrated the skin and went straight into the soul, and the officer suddenly screamed, and the same black flame erupted from the ears, eyes, mouth, nose and other orifices, and in the blink of an eye, the flesh and blood disappeared into a charred skeleton.

This scene frightened all the soldiers of the guard, but Stannis seemed to regain consciousness, the black flame in his eyes quickly dissipated, and after glancing at the charred black skeleton that still had black flame remaining, he said: "Iruka, he was bribed by someone with the intention of disadvantageous to me, and I killed him on the spot, but you all saw it?" ”

The soldiers present were not fools, and they quickly nodded their heads at the moment, saying louder that they had seen Captain Iruka's betrayal with their own eyes, and they were angry at this traitor.

Stannis was secretly relieved that he had indeed lost control, but now he was very calm and knew very well what he was doing.

"Carry the skeleton away."

Stannis said coldly, "I don't want to hear any other rumors about what happened here today, you know?" ”

Between being wiped out and surviving, the soldiers naturally knew which was the right choice, and they hurriedly swore that they were all Stannis's cultivated henchmen, and they knew their master's temperament very well, and they would not kill themselves.

When the soldiers had retreated, Stannis was still standing on top of the ruins, and the cabinet with the statue of the Demon God of the Empty Lady flew out from under the rubble, and the cabinet itself was not damaged in the slightest, which showed that it was extraordinary.

"Madam, I should expand your way in your name!"

Stannis whispered, his inferiority complex now refuge in faith.
