This isn't a souls-like game at all.

Ye Yiyi curled her lips, "Has anyone else been here before?"

"Yes, a magic researcher from Xiheim, a Knight of the White Feather of Silent Life, and a group of insects."

Ye Yiyi was a little surprised. Xiheim should be the one who confused chaos, and the White Feather Knight of Silent Life came from Other Life and Death. However, she didn't expect that the insect people would also find this place.

In other words, the existence of the warehouse space has long been no secret in the eyes of all parties.

With that in mind, it's no surprise that Patch was able to find this place.

The question is, which faction does Patch belong to now?

"Are they all dead?"

He hesitated for a moment and then asked.

"They are the enemy."

Qian Yuzuo replied calmly, "Even if they repair the algorithm components and register their identities, they will still die."

"I think I understand."

Ye Yiyi nodded thoughtfully, "Are you still loyal to the Universal Light? Are you a knight under her command?"

"Not a knight."

Qian Yuzuo did not deny it, but emphasized: "It is the guardian."

"I understand what you mean."

Ye Yiyi nodded, but still had a puzzled expression on his face.

"But what I don't understand is why we have to conduct an assessment to repair the hub? Isn't it enough to have one of our own people?"

"not enough."

Qian Yuzu shook his head and raised the giant sword again.

"Defeat me, and you will know everything you want to know."

"alright."

Ye Yiyi nodded and sighed, then raised the Moonlight Spear.

"Anyway, we have to fight first... I won't hold back. Are you ready?"

"Ten seconds countdown, ready, time and space scene replacement..."

Qian Yuzuo did not answer, but another deep female voice sounded in the space.

The next moment, the scene in Ye Yiyi's eyes suddenly changed.

Suddenly, lush green grass and giant trees rose from the cold gray steel ground, and the dazzling sunlight cast mottled spots of light through the gaps in the treetops.

I could hear the chirping of birds, the sound of flowing streams, and the breeze rustling the grass.

In the blink of an eye, he seemed to have arrived in another world.

"This……"

Ye Yiyi was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked up, only to find that Qian Yuzuo moved his feet, and his huge body like a mountain lightly hid behind a giant tree and disappeared.

At the same time, the countdown of the deep female voice was heard again in the space.

"Ten, nine, eight, seven..."

"What a surprise! Is this also the effect of magic?"

Ye Yiyi sighed repeatedly as his flesh and blood body turned into metal at a speed visible to the naked eye. Then the wings of light spread out behind him, rising from the ground and floating in the sea of ​​trees composed of countless hundred-meter-high trees.

He could feel that this sea of ​​trees was not fake, but a real scene.

At that moment just now, the time and space in which he and Qian Yuzu were located were replaced, and they came from the alien space to the reality.

"Six, five, four..."

As the countdown sounded, he slowly opened the map screen and took a look.

The cursor position showed that he was currently in a forest at the extreme west of the northern border.

"interesting."

He curled the corners of his mouth.

In an instant, we crossed tens of thousands of miles from the southern border to the northern border. The space-time hub was indeed extraordinary.

“…Three, two, one!”

The countdown ended and then a strong wind blew.

Qian Yuzuo suddenly appeared from the giant tree behind him, holding up a giant sword nearly forty meters long in his hand, and chopped it down heavily with a strong wind.

"too slow."

Ye Yiyi shook his head helplessly. He carried the Moonlight Spear and pointed the tip of the spear behind him. Suddenly, a dark light flowed and then turned into a dark torrent that shot out.

"Om!!"

The giant sword collided with the torrent, and the deep torrent was split apart. However, the steel sword body turned into black crystals in the darkness, quickly corroded and corroded, and then broke from the crystals.

The sword, which was about twenty meters long, flew out in a strong wind and hit the trunk of a giant tree heavily. The blade penetrated into the bone marrow and almost cut it in half.

"Ah, sorry."

Ye Yiyi looked at the broken sword, turned around and looked back while carrying the Moonlight Spear, and stuck out her tongue in embarrassment.

"I accidentally broke your sword."

"..."

Qian Yuzuo remained silent, turned his head to avoid the dark torrent, but the edge of his helmet was still slightly scratched by the torrent, and a large amount of dark crystals spread on the surface.

The health bar in front of Ye Yiyi also decreased by one percent.

"You are very strong..."

Qian Yuzuo whispered, and his huge figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.

Ye Yiyi turned around and saw Qian Yuzuo appear in front of a giant tree again.

It pulled the broken giant sword out of the tree trunk and fitted it to the broken part of the giant sword in its hand.

There was a flash of golden light, and the broken sword was instantly restored to its original state.

Ye Yiyi held the light gun and looked at Qian Yuzuo who was weighing the giant sword in his hand, smiling.

"Does this count as passing the test?"

"If I hadn't used magic to protect myself, I can't imagine any skilled servant could have taken that blow with their body. That ultimate, deep darkness could corrode everything in the world!"

Qian Yuzu nodded in greeting and praised him generously.

"Without a doubt, I passed."

But it continued, "But if we end it so hastily, wouldn't it be a bit of a letdown?"

"Your hands are itchy?"

Ye Yiyi raised her eyebrows and chuckled.

"Indeed."

Qian Yuzuo stroked the sword with his big hand, and a smile suddenly appeared in his usually calm tone.

"I've waited here for ten thousand years, yet I've never had a satisfying battle. Now that the Folding Tower is about to be repaired, it would be a shame if this ends like this."

Ye Yiyi was stunned when he heard this, the smile on his face froze and turned into a strange expression.

What do you mean by leaving regrets behind?

But Qian Yuzuo did not give Ye Yiyi a chance to think, and continued:

"If possible, please let go of your hands and feet and fight me with all your strength, regardless of life or death!"

"With all your strength? Regardless of life or death? Are you serious?"

Ye Yiyi couldn't help but widen her eyes, and then refused repeatedly.

"I don't agree! Why die when you can live? Don't you want to avenge His Highness the Universal Light?"

"I have the will, but not the strength."

Qian Yuzu shook his head and sighed, then said bluntly:

"Your Excellency, you don't know that the King Chosen Knight Qian Yuzuo has long since died. What remains here is just a phantom in time and space."

"During the battle at Winter Gate, the enemy general was severely injured by me. As a last resort, I sacrificed my body and used my core to create a space-time hub, hiding the components of the Folding Tower there."

"If I want to reconstruct the Folding Tower, I must die!"

"Then we won't form a group!"

"But if we don't reassemble the Folding Tower, how can we annihilate the Dragon of Winter Gate? And the stagnant curse it suppressed and sealed?"

"you……"

Ye Yiyi's pupils trembled violently. This sentence contained so much information that she was speechless.

"The Dragon of Winter Gate...suppresses the Stagnation Curse?"

"In the ancient battlefield of Winter Gate, countless people were killed and wounded in the battles of the past. The curse and the aura of death converged, giving rise to countless strange monsters."

"Ten thousand years ago, the Dragon of Winter Gate joined forces with us to defeat the combined forces of the Winged Dragon and Chaos, but unfortunately, we were caught in the path of a cursed creation. We were forced to suppress the curse with our flesh to prevent its spread."

Qian Yuzuo sighed and said, "This folding tower was originally a weapon forged to annihilate the extraterrestrial crisis. Back then, to prevent it from falling into enemy hands, it was dismantled as a last resort."

"If we can reunite now, I think we can completely end the source of the curse and give my old friend some relief and explanation."

"Sir, have you ever seen the instructions and last words left by the former workshop craftsmen?"

Ye Yiyi was stunned, and suddenly recalled the words that Donas left in her magic bracelet.

"O future generation who defeated the Guardian, please end the suffering of the Dragon of Winter Gate."

So the "guardian" is not actually referring to the rock guardian, but the guardian of time and space in front of him at this moment?

"……I see."

After a long silence, Ye Yiyi finally answered.

Upon hearing this, Qian Yuzuo raised the giant sword in his hand again, and his iron palm swept across, coating the silver-gray sword with golden light.

"In that case, I will give it my all!"

Hearing the high spirits in Qian Yuzuo's words, Ye Yiyi sighed slightly, but his face also showed an excited fighting spirit, and he smiled and said:

"Then come on! Qian Yu Zuo!"

"Buzz!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qian Yuzuo exerted all his strength and golden light surged all over his body.

Brilliant light gathered from all directions and condensed above the giant's head, turning into a holy halo draped with golden light.

Qian Yuzuo stood up from the ground, waved his hand and called down thousands of golden lights, which completely extinguished the deep beams of light that were shooting through him.

"Here we go! Your Excellency!"

He said loudly, then snapped his fingers, stretching the space in front of him.

The distance of just a few hundred meters was stretched to ten thousand meters in an instant. Ye Yiyi stared at the bright golden light in the distant forest and couldn't help rolling his eyes.

"Why are you acting like Pisan?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his eyes and shot out thunderbolts. Silver-white lightning shuttled among the golden meteors falling from the sky, annihilating them one by one on their way down.

"Boom!"

The giant tree was torn apart and shaken, and was completely destroyed in the baptism of the golden meteor shower.

"Om!!"

The panic wave followed the meteor, and suddenly there was a dazzling golden light in the sky outside the tree branches, like the rising sun.

"Saint Sun again!"

Wow, do all the skilled slaves who serve the Universal Light start with this combo?

"Boom boom boom!!"
