Chapter 948: Offering a Sacrifice to an Unknown Existence
On the other side, after a brief moment of daze, Mavica continued to ride her scooter towards them.
At this moment, she saw from afar the path paved by locusts and flying mosquitoes, chasing the body of the abyss.
She was so confused by this scene.
"Where...where...where do these locusts and flying mosquitoes come from?"
Mavica couldn't figure out how these locusts and mosquitoes appeared, and why there were so many of them, as if they were endless.
Just as Mavica was shocked, something even more shocking happened.
I saw four horses trampling on locusts and flying mosquitoes in the sky as if they were walking on flat ground, chasing the abyss itself.
This scene was so unbelievable that Mavica's eyes almost popped out.
Gustott, who was fleeing for his life, was also in extreme panic at this time.
The real body of the Abyss is now like a headless fly, running around in the Kingdom of the God of Night, just to avoid the arrows chasing after it.
It fled desperately, cursing its own stupidity in its heart.
It regretted not seizing the opportunity, but now it was too late. It was in a desperate situation and could not escape at all.
It was really a brilliant plan of Zhou Lang to bring peace to the world, but he lost his wife and his soldiers!
However, no matter how much Gustott regretted and how hard he tried to escape, he could not change his fate.
The arrow, inlaid with the name "Apocalypse" and shining with a deep light, was like the scythe of the god of death. It carried unparalleled power and shot straight towards Gustot at an astonishing speed.
Finally, Gustott met its end.
The arrow hit Gustot's huge body accurately.
In an instant, the arrow pierced through Gustot's body and hit his core.
With a deafening roar, Gustot's mountain-like body lost its support, collapsed, and fell heavily on the vast land of the Kingdom of the God of Night.
In an instant, dust flew, sand and stones splashed, and even the heaven and earth shook.
As the dust gradually settled, Shao Yun, with four apocalypse horses that announced the coming of the end of the world, slowly came to Gustot along a road strangely interwoven with locusts and flying mosquitoes.
At this moment, Gustot's core had been completely shattered by the arrow with the ancient name of "Apocalypse" tied to it.
Only an empty shell and a trace of remaining intelligence and consciousness remained of its huge body, lingering in the darkness.
Shao Yun looked at the Abyss's true form lying on the ground and invading Nata, kicked it with his foot, and said sarcastically: "Is this the true form of the Abyss? It doesn't look that good..."
Gustott looked at the being that was about to destroy him and begged for mercy, "No! Wait a minute, there's no one else here, let's talk about a deal!"
Shao Yun looked at the abyss in front of him and said, "What? You can actually speak?"
However, just as Shao Yun was shocked, the image of Yuan Shang of the Abyss Cult suddenly flashed through his mind. This funny guy...
Thinking of this, the surprise in his heart subsided a little.
After all, Yuanshang, a high-level abyss monster, has proved that monsters can not only speak, but also possess considerable intelligence.
Gustott felt relieved when he saw that Shao Yun did not attack him immediately. He begged, "I know the Abyss Cult. I am willing to join them and become their helper! Please spare my life!"
A sneer appeared on Shao Yun's lips, and he said sarcastically: "I really didn't expect that the Abyss that has been a scourge to Nata for so long would actually beg for mercy..."
However, Shao Yun had just said half of his words when he thought of Yuan Shang again.
Stop hitting me, or I’ll die if you continue—Yuan Shang, a famous saying from Yuan Xia Palace.
This guy is really special...
Thinking of this, Shao Yun's tone softened a little, and he continued, "However, this is not the first time I've seen an abyss monster begging for mercy..."
"That boy Yuan Shang is quite likable."
Seeing that Shao Yun's attitude seemed to have softened, Gustott began to feel a hope of survival.
It immediately struck while the iron was hot and continued to beg: "I am really very afraid of you. I am willing to submit to you completely! Please let me go!"
Shao Yun looked at Gustott begging for mercy and was completely unmoved.
Do you think you are Yuan Shang? If you beg for mercy, I won’t kill you?
"I'm sorry, but I don't have time to waste. I have to kill you and rescue Nata to save my wife. This is my only choice."
Gustott was obviously frightened by Shao Yun's determination, and tried to use his not-so-bright brain to come up with a way to make Shao Yun change his mind.
Suddenly, it thought of something from the vast memory of the earth veins.
"It's a pity for a strong man like you to be so obsessed with such mundane things."
Gustott imitated the devil's tone and said, "You have such great power, you should pursue higher goals instead of being bound by these trivial emotions."
Shao Yun sneered, showing no interest in Gustott's persuasion, and responded indifferently: "My so-called high-level goals are my wife, my children, and a ranch!"
Seeing that Shao Yun was unmoved, Gustott continued to tempt him and said, "I can help you. I can be your thug. I can do anything you ask me to do."
"As long as you let me live, I will be loyal to you."
Shao Yun remained unmoved. What's the use of me having you?
Seeing this, Gustott began to promise some cheap temptations.
"I can build a magnificent palace for you in the Kingdom of Night God and let you become the master there."
"I can also help you capture countless beauties and make them your sluts for you to enjoy endless pleasure."
"You can own mountains of gold and silver and enjoy everything that comes with power and wealth." Gustot's voice was full of greed and desire.
Shao Yun felt a little sick when he heard Gustott's cheap temptation. Your temptation is far inferior to that devil...
"You can't say anything else that makes sense."
"I mean, besides love and sex?"
"Even the devil wouldn't be so blunt about such a lowly temptation. Why are your temptations limited to power, money or indulgence?"
“Can’t we just provide the best service based on local conditions?”
Gustott pleaded, "What I'm talking about are the things that all men dream of according to the records in the earth veins!"
However, Shao Yun didn't care about his words, waved his hand, and said unceremoniously:
"Stop talking nonsense here. You are just a monster from the abyss, not Aladdin's magic lamp. I don't have time to talk nonsense with you!"
After that, Shao Yun ignored Gustott and turned to look at the four apocalypse horses standing behind him: Plague, War, Famine and Death.
Shao Yun ordered them expressionlessly, "The four of you, the rest is up to you. Hurry up and take care of this guy as soon as possible so that we can go find Mavica sooner."
After receiving Shao Yun's order, the four Apocalypse horses immediately took action.
They walked slowly around Gustott's body.
As the Apocalypse Horses moved, tears of blood actually flowed from their eyes. The tears of blood flowed down like a waterfall, forming a huge blood circle around Gustot.
The blood circle exuded a disgusting fishy smell and trapped Gustot tightly inside.
At this moment, Gustott was like a lamb offered to God. He had completely lost the ability to move within this bloody circle.
Of course, if it could move, it wouldn't just lie here forever.
At this moment, the dark disaster that brought devastating disaster to Nata let out a heart-wrenching roar like a humble prisoner.
"No! Help!!!"
Along with Gustot's terrified cry for help, its originally huge body began to undergo amazing changes.
I saw signs of decay appearing on its body, which spread rapidly and were eroded by the power of the "plague".
Soon after, traces of sword cuts appeared, its body was torn apart, and black abyss gas emanated from it.
Finally, Gustott's body was still shrinking at an alarming rate.
The speed of this shrinkage was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, its huge body, which was originally as big as a mountain, had become like a shriveled skin bag.
All these changes correspond to the traces left on it by the three disasters of plague, war and famine.
Finally, when Gustot's body shrank to the extreme, the four apocalypse horses neighed in unison, offering the final sacrifice to the unknown existence.
As the neighing sound rang out, Gustott's shriveled body was finally unable to withstand the impact of this force, and began to collapse amid the neighing of the Apocalypse Horse.
Its body seemed to be torn into countless pieces, turning into bursts of black and purple gas, floating in the air.
The gases emitted a sickening stench, like the last-minute struggle of Gustot's soul.
As Gustot's wailing gradually faded away, everything about it was completely dedicated to the unknown existence.
Shao Yun stood not far away, watching all this happen quietly.
There was no expression on his face. He was neither excited about the destruction of Gustot nor frightened by the strange scene.
When the last breath of Gustot dissipated in the Kingdom of the Night God, the Kingdom of the Night God, which had been eroded by the abyss, restored its original appearance at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Although it is not a good place, at least there is no breath of the abyss.
"Okay, Wind God, I have completed your commission. Next, we should settle the matter between us."
As soon as Shao Yun turned around, he saw Mavica, who was staring at him with a shocked look on her face.
She looked as if she were looking at a monster.
Shao Yun smiled and teased Mavica about how quickly she arrived.
"Mavica, you're so slow..."
Mavica was so shocked by what she had just seen that she couldn't even speak clearly. That was the abyss itself that had been plaguing Nata for many years. How could Shao Yun kill it so easily?
"Just now, I, you, how did you deal with the abyss?"
Shao Yun shrugged and said indifferently: "I don't know the reason, but it looks like the Kingdom of Night God has returned to normal?"
Mavica looked up at the Kingdom of the Night God. How should I put it? Indeed, the breath of the abyss had disappeared.
Shao Yun patted Mavica on the shoulder and reminded her, "Okay, the war is over. You should go back to enjoy the glory of victory and think about how to tell everyone how you defeated the Abyss."
"I should also get ready to rescue my wife and children."
As Mavica watched Nata's crisis end, she felt an indescribable confusion in her heart.
What is the purpose of the power against the abyss left behind by the Reign of Death?
What was the purpose of thousands of years of sacrifice?
"Ah...I feel, feel like everything is in vain?"
Originally, Mavica had made up her mind to die, but now she was told that the enemies of the abyss were so easily eliminated by external aid.
This huge contrast was difficult for her to accept for a while, and she felt that all her efforts became meaningless in an instant.
Shao Yun noticed Mavica's confusion. He walked forward and comforted her softly:
"Don't think too much. You go first. I won't go with you. Otherwise, it will be hard to explain."
After saying that, Shao Yun turned around and left, leaving Mavica standing there alone.
Mavica looked at Shao Yun's back as he walked away, feeling mixed emotions.
In the Kingdom of the Night God, only Mavica and the four Apocalypse Horses were left.
Mavica looked at them, and the four Apocalypse horses looked at her quietly.
Then they slowly retreated, step by step into the shadows, and finally disappeared without a trace.
Mavica's eyes followed the Apocalypse Horses as they left until they disappeared completely into the darkness.
Suddenly, a bitter smile appeared on Mavica's lips involuntarily.
She didn't know whether she should be happy for Nata's relief or sad for her own confusion.
"Ha, Mr. Shao Yun, you really gave me a big surprise..."
