Elden: Ring of Calamity

Chapter 335 Yellow Bird
Escape - this was the only remaining thought in Cygnus' mind.

Where to escape?

The Selia Mountains in the north, the Storm Sea further north, or the desolate land beyond the sea of ​​fog, or should we escape completely and return to the distant and dark starry sky?

There was no time to think so much. The only intuition in his blurred consciousness was draining out his last bit of potential, driving him to flee as far away from the dragon as possible, or away from the rapidly approaching death.

Compared to the memories of Esti from a thousand years ago deep in his soul, Lucia Sanx was indeed far inferior to his parents. But in front of today's Cygnus, that level of combat power was enough to make him despair.

What's more, he holds in his hands the destiny of death that can truly and completely kill him.

A thousand years ago, Esti also faced the first generation God of Death who wielded the power of death on the battlefield, but why was the destined death at that time unable to pose any real threat to Him? Was it because the God of Death was too weak, or was it because she was too weak?

A multitude of thoughts flashed through his confused mind, but Signis had no intention of thinking about the details. In addition to the urge to flee madly, there was another thought that was gradually eroding his will.

The power of the god that had merged with his soul after the advent ceremony seemed to be dissipating. The "perspective" that had originally enabled him to complete the leap in life levels and overlook all living beings from a high point in the universe was gradually declining.

In his subconscious, he seemed to be getting smaller and smaller, more and more humble. The terror and majesty that belonged to Esti in the Star-Moon Era quickly collapsed, and the fear and cowardice that belonged to Segnis himself returned rapidly.

If the former magic master was still clear-headed, he would probably immediately realize with horror that this was the collapse of his "godhood".

Just like those ancient gods who were born in ancient times and hunted by ancient dragons and giants, or those false gods who died in the tribal fighting, ethnic conquests, the extinction of believers, and the severance of inheritance in the War of the Gods, when a powerful life loses the status that it should have as a god, the power that belongs to the god will quickly fade from him, and perhaps before long, his own "power" will no longer exist.

The effect of the divine art of advent is like a rope with a rotten interior, which is dissipating at a speed visible to the naked eye. The two wills of "Esti" and "Signis" are becoming increasingly distinct.

In a trance, he seemed to see once again the dark, silent, vast starry sky, and the black hole that was so huge that it seemed to swallow everything.

Fleeting tentacles and thin wings with jagged scales flashed before his eyes, and in his ears echoed a deep and terrifying hum like the ringing of an ancient bell, as if a humble believer was meeting a god that made him tremble.

"what--"

A sharp pain that seemed to tear his soul apart suddenly came from the depths of his mind. Signis hugged his head fiercely. The next second, he was horrified to find that his extraordinary star body had disappeared at some point, and what appeared before him were two crystallized arms that had undergone massive mutations - but he could still clearly tell that they belonged to humans, to his former self.

After a moment of daze, he let out a roar that was not sure whether it was pain or shock. Suddenly, a dazzling blue sword light rushed into his field of vision from north to south at a high speed and swallowed him up in an instant!

"Fallen God?"

Latan crushed the half body that he had just chopped off from high altitude with his toes, and a hint of confusion appeared in his eyes.

Just now, he had clearly sensed the power fluctuations of the battle between Lucia and the evil god on the southern battlefield from dozens of kilometers away. In a battle of that level, how could such a seriously injured Fallen Angel survive?

"Wait. He is Cygnus." Lani beside him suddenly spoke up.

"My perception is correct," she leaned over and carefully examined the remaining magic power in the half-broken body. "Although his appearance no longer shows any trace of the past, the way the magic power in his body flows still follows the super magic technique left by the Dark Star."

"This method of circulation can greatly increase the speed and power of magic release. To date, there are less than two hands who can master it. Excluding those who have long since died and those who cannot be here, he can only be Signis himself." "Princess Lani is right. This is indeed Signis's 'Dark Star Tuning'." Luther, who came over, murmured.

"According to the information we pieced together earlier, he should have used some kind of evil magic to revive from Selvis' body, and then seized the remaining evil god power in the God Sleeping Egg to become the new generation of 'Esti'. But how did he become like this?"

Cassius frowned. "We carefully checked the state of the God's Sleeping Egg when we left the Tomb of the Gods. No matter what specific means he used, it was actually completely successful. The God's Sleeping Egg is only an empty shell. Logically speaking, even if he was killed by Lucia, he should have died with the form and power of Esti. It is impossible for him to be in this half-dead state now, which is no different from those fallen angels."

As everyone was wondering, Lucia, who had been chasing them all the way, also descended from the sky. Seeing this scene, she was surprised and asked, "Where is Cygnus?"

"Here, this is it——"

Latan used his boot to turn the upper half of Cygnus over. His consciousness seemed to have completely disappeared. He was staring at the sky with a pair of empty eyes, and only chaotic mumbling came out of his mouth.

"Lucia"

Lani took a look at his bloody figure, and a trace of heartache flashed across the depths of her dark blue eyes, but she quickly suppressed it and talked about business, "Do you think that he looks a lot like Yug at the Magic Conference?"

It was as if a bell rang in Lucia's mind, and the vague sense of familiarity just now immediately became a reality - yes, not only did Cygnus degenerate into the form of a Fallen Angel, but his state was completely different from the four second-stage Fallen Angels he had killed before. This state of complete loss of mind, where even Epsilon's soul secrets were unable to begin with, had only occurred in one person.

It was the former deputy professor of Haimo, Yug, who briefly awakened Esti's consciousness and whose soul was quickly destroyed after being defeated.

He immediately squatted down, waved his hand and released a soul secret technique to sense the sea of ​​​​consciousness of Segnis. After knocking down the mental barrier, there was only a chaotic storm inside.

"The soul-destroying directional technique is the skill of Shuangxian. Who can implant the directional technique in his brain in advance? This is the body of Selvis. Selvis..."

Lucia stood up suddenly and looked in the direction of the Tomb of the Gods. For the first time since the war began, his eyes showed tension as if the situation was out of control.

"Master Chief, is there anyone left guarding the Tomb of the Gods?"

Cassius was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed immediately, "No - all the Night Mages who can still fight have come here with me."

"Immediately notify all personnel within a hundred kilometers of the Tomb of the Gods to evacuate, including Selia!"

Lucia took off the Dark Moon Badge and stuffed it into Lani's hand, saying, "Take it and go find Priest Karen. You will take charge of the Ancient Dragon Army now. Also tell Lakkad and Michaela that all troops, including you, from heroes down, must withdraw from the front battlefield immediately!"

"Master Lusert, Chief Cassius, please provide support from the outside and try to minimize the damage caused by the aftermath of the battle."

Finally, he looked at Latan, and saw that the guy had already drawn his sword. He hesitated for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said, "You might die in this battle. Are you afraid?"

Latarn said calmly: "It's still not too late for you to run away with my sister."

"Ha——" Lucia patted his shoulder, put away her smile and said, "Be careful, the one below is the real thing, let's go."
