Nightmare Light

Chapter 179 You and Him

"Soaring!"

The ear-piercing roar swept across the earth, and countless pale dust particles mixed with bone fragments surged outwards like ocean waves.

White dust surged like waves, and shockwaves swept in, blowing the dead about in all directions as they passed by.

In the sky, the Night Wanderer was swirling and scattered in the gale, and on the ground, some skeletons were even blown into pieces.

Lin Wang raised his hand to block in front of him.

Even from this distance, he could still feel the stinging pain on his cheeks and body.

Those ordinary teachers who were not as physically strong as him were in an even more sorry state.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Bai Xiaoxiao supporting her grandfather in a corner of the square, huddled up and struggling against the gust of wind.

Are these grandfather and grandson still alive?

Lin Wang was delighted.

Immediately afterwards, a pale white thigh bone struck the girl on the head, knocking her over.

"..." Lin Wang's face twitched, and he looked away.

In short, it was good news that the grandfather and grandson were alive, which put Lin Wang at ease a little.

In that brief moment, the shockwave from the piercing howl had dissipated, and in the distance, a gigantic and astonishing monster stood upright.

It appears to be about twenty or thirty meters tall, with a pure white body made of bones.

It has a dinosaur-like lower body and a twisted, human-like upper body.

Countless bone fragments and bone powder coalesced into thick skeletons, which in turn formed this hideous and terrifying giant body.

On top of the completed body, some bone fragments formed a rugged armor on the surface of the giant monster, with bone spikes extending out.

As it perfected its body, it shook itself and rose proudly from the pale white earth. Its house-sized skull turned to look in the direction of the temple.

"Lord Huangquan?!" Shi Xiong exclaimed in shock, his face grim. "Damn it... how did this jinx wake up!"

"The Lord of the Yellow Springs?" Lin Wang looked at Shi Xionglue. "Who is he?"

“He is…” Shi Xiong’s face was extremely ugly, and he added seven or eight divine spells to his sword in one breath.

Then, he picked up a longsword from the ground and added seven or eight divine spells to it as well.

After doing all this, Shi Xiong glanced at Lin Wang and said, "He is you... a general under the evil god Luo He."

By this time, Shi Xiong had guessed that Lin Wang and the legendary "evil god" were probably not the same person.

Otherwise, the moment he fell into the underworld from the temple, he could have easily killed everyone present, instead of having to eat their ashes.

Shi Xiong stared intently ahead, sweat beading on his forehead: "Huang Quan Gong is Luo He's most brutal and most capable general."

"In fact, we believe that among all the generals under the evil god Luo He, Huang Quan Gong is the only monster who only has the instinct to kill and no thought process..."

"Back then, we saw more than once on the battlefield that Huang Quan Gong would disobey even Luo He's orders."

Huang Quan Gong straightened up, shook off the countless bone fragments and ashes on his body, and began to walk towards the temple. With each step, the earth shook.

All parties present—whether Crusaders or laymen—unanimously ceased their fighting.

Everyone knew that if the monster wasn't dealt with, no one would survive the ensuing carnage.

The laymen began to pray, and some skeletons rose up before them.

The Crusaders began to bless their weapons, and some priests even began to cast widespread blessings on everyone—including laymen.

These two groups, who were fiercely fighting each other just a moment ago, are now forced to temporarily set aside their hatred and join forces for the same goal. The Yellow Springs Lord is getting closer.

"Cook, I have another question for you," Lin Wang said to Shi Xiong.

He stared intently at the enormous monster in the distance, his mind racing.

Although the situation was extremely urgent, given Lin Wang's personality, he would continue to feel uneasy if he didn't understand the most important part of the knowledge.

"Chef..." Shi Xiong's lips twitched slightly upon hearing this title. "What do you want to ask?"

What is Luohe?

"Don't casually utter this name! Those who are weak will instantly... never mind, your strength is enough to qualify you to call him by his name."

Shi Xiong shook his head slightly: "Luo He... is the most cruel and terrifying existence in this world—He is the ultimate evil god of this world."

[Hahaha...! You flatter me, you flatter me!]

Within Lin Wang's soul space, a voice deliberately shielded Lin Wang's senses, letting out a burst of maniacal laughter.

Lin Wang himself was unaware of what was happening in his soul space; he was simply listening intently to Shi Xionglue's narration.

"He is one of the three 'Great Sovereign' level true gods in this world."

“But unlike the mother, He is the chaotic, evil side of this world.”

[Hehehe... Is this your record?]

"All evil and chaos are related to the existence of Luo He. He is the source of all evil in this world!"

[You flatter me, you flatter me... But to attribute all the credit to me? That doesn't make sense, does it? Even without me, you humans did just as well!]

"He controls the power of death and corruption. It is because of His existence that lay masters go mad and corrupt themselves into monsters!"

[Hey, death is definitely under my jurisdiction. But corruption... you guys are pinning that guy's fault on me too? Heh heh... whatever, my lousy reputation is perfect for taking the blame anyway.]

“More than a hundred years ago, our order launched its last expedition against the underworld. In that expedition, we successfully defeated Luohe and his minions!”

[Hehehe...defeated? Hahahaha!]

“We killed most of Luo He’s men and sealed some of them… Huang Quan Gong was also sealed at that time.”

"Later, we killed Luohe and banished his body to the deepest part of the underworld!"

Shi Xionglue's tone was filled with intense pride.

Hehe... I really have to thank you all... otherwise, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly...

“By the way, Northerner, there’s something very important you need to know.” Shi Xiong gave Lin Wang a deep look. “The white fire you used—that’s Luo He’s signature skill.”

“…So that’s how it is.” Lin Wang let out a soft sigh.

"You don't seem surprised at all?" Shi Xiong said.

“I’ve had my suspicions for a while, but this is the first time you’ve directly proven it,” Lin Wang said.

What are your plans after this?

"That's something to worry about after we've finished fighting." Lin Wang shook his tree spear and gestured to the cat girl beside him. "The most important thing right now is to deal with this big guy."

He stared at Huang Quan Gong: "Didn't you say that you had already sealed Him away back then?"

“Based on my more than 100 years of experience as a chef, there is nothing in this world that has a shelf life of more than 100 years,” Shi Xiong said. “Moreover, I suspect that it is very likely that this temple fell into the underworld and broke the seal on that thing.”

Lin Wang nodded: "In that case... I have a plan."
