Chapter 645 The Crisis of the Female Knight (Five Thousand)

Originally, Seraphina, when she was in Larnaca, showed a bright, dignified and lively personality.

But when she was at the headquarters of the Church of the Goddess of Dawn, it was unknown what factors had affected her. Seraphina's personality became somewhat withdrawn and introverted, especially in the past two years, this personality seemed to have become more serious.

Seraphina would not invite any clergy into her room on weekdays.

Even Irelia and Cecilia, who had a very good relationship with her, were the same.

Although this behavior was a little different, it was normal. After all, which girl didn't have her own little secrets.

However, only Seraphina herself knew the real reason.

Seraphina knew very well that there were many things in her room that were not allowed to see the light. Once discovered, they might be sent to the stake immediately.

But this time, it seemed to be more serious than ever before. Not only was it the secret room where Seraphina practiced on weekdays, but even the entire hall was filled with a strong sense of gloom and depression.

In the air, the naked eye can clearly see a trace of gray-black traces slowly wriggling and floating.

It was as if countless strange insects were dancing in the air.

It was obviously her own room, but Seraphina felt a strong sense of strangeness, and seemed to smell a stench like burning sulfur between her nostrils.

Seraphina didn't know what caused this change at once. She just subconsciously tightened her body and prepared for the battle. At the same time, she was looking around with the corner of her eyes.

That feeling was very strange.

It was noon now.

The door was wide open.

The walls around were also glass windows that were not covered by curtains, and the light transmission was very good.

It should be that there should be no lack of light in the hall, but in fact all the sunlight seemed to be blocked by some mysterious power. The whole hall was gloomy and dim. Although it was not so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of you, the depressing gray made people feel even more uncomfortable.

The extremely oppressive atmosphere made Seraphina very uncomfortable. The air seemed to have turned into a sticky liquid, entangled in pieces and strips on her body. The feeling of being wet and slowly crawling like slime against her body made Seraphina's scalp numb.

Looking carefully, you can even find that the door on the side of the hall has been opened at some point, revealing a strange magic circle on the ground.

At this moment, the magic circle is flashing with a strange light, and the strange ash-like substances in the air are seeping out from this magic circle.

When Seraphina saw this scene, her heart jumped even more, and a very bad premonition rose in her heart.

She longed for power.

This desire became stronger and stronger as the gap between herself and Irelia and Cecilia continued to widen.

Seraphina knew very well that such feelings were wrong, but she just couldn't control it. Under this strong desire, one night, she suddenly heard indescribable whispers in her ears.

As a practitioner, Seraphina knew very well what this kind of whisper meant, and she knew even more clearly what the consequences would be if she immersed herself in it.

It was some evil existence in the void, bewitching the creatures of the Dusk Continent.

For Seraphina, who heard the whisper, the best choice was to enter the temple without saying anything, pray devoutly in front of the goddess statue, and use the power of the goddess of dawn to resist the evil erosion.

However, perhaps it was the desire for power deep in her heart that made Seraphina choose another path. She did not seek shelter, but listened carefully to every syllable of the whisper in her sleep to feel the information contained in those syllables.

In this way, Seraphina's strength began to improve rapidly under the blessing of the whisper.

She even improved her realm by three stars in a year.

Although Seraphina knew very well that this was the temptation of the devil, the growing power and the gradually narrowing gap between her and Irelia and Cecilia were stimulating Seraphina to continue to immerse herself in this temptation.

She even set up a secret room without realizing it.

A magic circle was engraved in the secret room so that she could receive the sound from the void more clearly.

She knew that it was a vortex, and the depth of the vortex was hell and the abyss, but it felt like a series of strange tentacles entangled her body, constantly dragging her to the gate of hell.

Perhaps Seraphina's will was not bad, or perhaps it was because this was the headquarters of the Church of the Goddess of Dawn, which was naturally sacred.

Although more than a year had passed, Seraphina did not show any mental confusion or madness. In addition to the continuous increase in strength, Seraphina did not feel any negative effects.

This situation also made Seraphina gradually relax her vigilance.

But today, everything has changed.

Her breathing gradually became rapid, and her narrow eyes stared at the figure in front of her.

What kind of figure was that?

Under the influence of the dim light in the room, it was like a hazy shadow. Seraphina couldn't see its height, weight, or even whether it was a man or a woman. She could only glimpse a human outline in the haze.

But for some reason, when she saw this figure, Seraphina felt as if her chest had been hit hard. The indescribable fear made her body tremble constantly.

Gulp.

She swallowed a mouthful of saliva silently. Although there was no real contact or conflict between the two sides, the unbearable fear had already made Seraphina wet all over.

"Gulp, squeak, squeak..."

Just then, a strange sound suddenly broke the silence in the room.

Then, there was another creaking sound behind her, followed by another clang.

The door behind her closed by itself without any operation.

Some sticky, ink-black liquid seeped out from the wall like blood, flowing slowly along the snow-white wall and the transparent glass until the entire glass was completely dyed black.

If it was originally only the light source that was affected a little, then now all the light sources were cut off.

The whole hall was completely plunged into a pitch-black darkness.

But at this moment, a strange scene appeared again.

The whole room was completely plunged into darkness, but the picture Seraphina saw became clearer.

She gradually saw everything in the room. The originally smooth and clean walls around her became uneven at some point, with dense and irregular protrusions on them. The entire wall, including the protrusions of the tumor-like objects on it, turned dark red. In the dim light, one could even see the dark blue veins and even blood vessels inside.

At a glance, Seraphina even wondered if she had accidentally broken into a huge intestine, into the stomach of a giant beast.

Buzz...buzz...buzz...

A sound like a heartbeat began to echo in Seraphina's ears.

Along with the heartbeat, the stomach wall began to move regularly.

With each rhythm, some sticky yellow liquid can be seen, gradually squeezed out from the stomach wall, and the whole room began to be filled with a strong, fishy, ​​and rotten smell.

Looking around, the coffee tables, tables, chairs and other furniture originally placed in the hall seemed to have all turned into pieces of bright red meat, piled up in the corners at random.

The yellow mucus flowed down, wrapped these pieces of meat, and the pieces of meat began to rot at a speed visible to the naked eye.

All kinds of weird pictures appeared in front of Seraphina like a dream.

The strong fear made Seraphina's body instantly appear with a layer of dense small bumps. Her body began to retreat silently. She felt an unprecedented threat and tried to escape from here.

But, just when Seraphina started to move, the weird figure opposite Seraphina suddenly stood up.

The next moment, Seraphina only felt a bone-chilling chill coming instantly.

Until this moment, Seraphina finally saw the strange figure clearly.

It was...

A bloody monster.

He had a head and limbs like ordinary humans, and a normal torso, but there was no skin on his body. The scarlet flesh and blood made people's scalps numb.

Drops of sticky blood were still dripping down the monster's body.

At this moment, the monster suddenly opened its mouth:

"I want your skin..."

Buzz.

As the extremely sharp and terrible sound echoed, Seraphina felt as if her head was hit hard by a hammer, and her whole brain was instantly dizzy. The sharp pain even made Seraphina feel that her brain was about to be shattered into pieces.

Her eyes were instantly covered with a layer of blood red.

The liquid from the nose kept flowing out.

The blood vessels on her face were also prominent, and each one was like a twisted venomous snake.

The violent impact directly hit Seraphina's chest, and her whole body was thrown away by the invisible force and hit the door behind her hard.

The wooden door cracked and debris flew everywhere.

But the strange wooden door never collapsed completely from beginning to end. The door seemed to be bound by some mysterious force and could not be destroyed at all.

Puff.

A mouthful of blood spurted out of Seraphina's mouth.

Until this moment, Seraphina finally understood what kind of existence was conveying the whispers in her ears. It was an evil spirit, and the purpose of this evil spirit was to take her skin...

It wanted to descend on the Dusk Continent.

It wanted to completely replace its existence.

Sure enough, trying to get power from the starry sky never ended well.

Enduring the severe pain in her body, Seraphina climbed up from the ground, and a soft white light began to bloom on her body. She tried to use the power of dawn to dispel the evil around her.

Dawn is indeed the nemesis of all evil.

Just like water conquers fire.

But a drop of water cannot extinguish a raging wildfire.

Similarly, a tiny bit of dawn light cannot dispel all darkness.

"Ah..."

The strange evil spirit screamed again, and Seraphina's body trembled violently, and her eyes, ears, mouth and nose were all filled with scarlet blood beads.

The dawn light on her body also began to sway violently. At this moment, a large area of ​​dark red strange fog swept over, and the weak dawn light was quickly swallowed by the dark red.

Huh...

Seraphina only felt a gust of scarlet wind hitting her face.

The next moment, the bloody figure appeared in front of her, with one arm raised, and the bloody fingers instantly grabbed Seraphina's slender white neck.

Then, countless dense, scarlet silk threads quickly extended from the monster's fingers.

The ends of these silk threads were all very sharp, silently piercing Seraphina's skin and penetrating into Seraphina's body.

For a moment, Seraphina's body was tense.

The slender red marks had begun to spread rapidly on Seraphina's neck. In a short time, a terrifying spider web seemed to have appeared on the slender white swan-like neck. This was not all, the red blood threads were still expanding.

This process was extremely painful.

Even though her neck was pinched, Seraphina continued to scream hoarsely.

She could feel what was happening to her body, her flesh and blood were gradually being replaced.

Her consciousness was gradually being suppressed.

The strong sense of rejection seemed to be about to expel her soul from her body.

When the flesh and blood were completely replaced and the soul was completely expelled, her skin would become the trophy of the monster in front of her.

Don't... don't do this.

Seraphina's heart was full of reluctance. She wanted to resist, but in front of the evil spirit, all her strength seemed so weak that she had no capital to resist at all.

Could it be that she would die like this?

At this moment, the strange evil spirit in front of him seemed to suddenly notice something. He suddenly raised his head. A face without skin but only facial muscles twisted together in a weird posture. Some vigilance flashed in those huge and creepy eyes.

He seemed to notice something, opened his mouth wide, and the corners of his mouth were cracked all the way to his ears.

He just wanted to make that blasphemous sound again to force back the existence that was approaching here quickly.

This was a good opportunity for him to appear normally in the Dusk Continent and live a normal life like a real life. He absolutely did not want to see this opportunity destroyed by some damn bastards.

But before the evil spirit could make any sound, an invisible force suddenly appeared in front of the evil spirit without destroying the door and walls, or even Seraphina's body.

It was a small ball of light.

It was only the size of a fist.

Even the light was not so dazzling, and it seemed quite restrained.

But the next second, the ball of light suddenly became hot, and the restrained light began to bloom, as if it had transformed into a small sun, and suddenly exploded in front of the evil spirit.

The hall of Seraphina's room suddenly became bright, and the darkness and scarlet disappeared almost at the same time, and even the rotten meat around, the strange tumors on the wall, and the mucus with a strong stench were evaporated cleanly in an instant.

That was the real dawn.

It was a light full of hope.

At close range, the evil spirit was directly hit the most violently.

The light that burst out was like a sharp sword, instantly piercing the body of the evil spirit. Then, there were bursts of hissing sounds, and the evil spirit's flesh immediately had a lot of burnt marks.

There was a big hole in the chest.

The body of the evil spirit was directly blown away and hit hard on the strong behind. The wall made of stone instantly had cracks, and the whole house shook with it, and all the glass was broken into pieces.

It looked miserable.

However, it was obviously impossible to completely eliminate an evil spirit with just this move.

The charred evil spirit was constantly making strange cries, and its body was crawling on the ground, trying to get up again.

Seraphina's body finally fell to the ground, like a drowning person, greedily breathing fresh air. The feeling of escaping death made Seraphina full of fear.

The traces of erosion and pollution will not fade so easily.

There were still waves of stabbing pains on her neck, face, and head.

Seraphina also wanted to get up from the ground, but her body, which was constantly twitching in intense pain, was out of her control. She wanted to turn around to see who saved her, but even such a simple action was impossible for Seraphina to do.

Click, click...

Just then, Seraphina heard footsteps.

The sound was getting closer and closer, and the person was approaching her.

Who was it?

Was it the person who had just saved her from the evil spirit?

Seraphina tried to turn her eyes, but the layer of blood in her eye sockets made her see everything hazy and blurry, and only her ears could vaguely hear the other person's voice approaching.

It might have been just a few seconds, and the sound suddenly disappeared.

Then, Seraphina felt a hand on her shoulder.

The hand was very warm.

It was as if all the fear and coldness that Seraphina had endured for so long disappeared completely the moment this hand appeared.

"Don't worry..."

"I'm here!"
