Chapter 386: Breath of the Ancient God
As soon as Su Han's fingertips touched Bi Yao's wrist, a biting chill crawled up her spine along her skin.
In the black mist emitted by the giant sword, countless tiny metal fragments were suspended, piecing together the vague outline of the armored man. His voice seemed to come from the bottom of the abyss:
"Three thousand years ago, I failed to stop it. Now..."
The second half of the sentence was crushed by a deafening roar, and the entire cave began to shake violently.
Bi Yao held Su Han's hand tightly with her backhand. The dark golden lines that the rusty sword had integrated into her body were jumping wildly under her skin, like a burning flame.
The constantly cracking star map seal was reflected in her pupils. The black mist seeping out of the cracks twisted as if it had life and gradually condensed into a solid entity.
"It's the breath of the ancient god..."
Bi Yao's voice trembled, "This is not an ordinary seal, it is a forbidden technique used in ancient times to suppress the Lord of Chaos."
Su Han's dagger drew a silver light in the darkness. He looked around vigilantly, as every piece of suspended metal debris could become a deadly weapon.
Suddenly, he noticed that the dried blood on the rock wall began to move again. This time, it did not gather into a totem, but turned into tiny words, flashing quickly on the rock wall.
"Biyao, look!"
He tugged at the girl next to him.
Biyao narrowed her eyes, trying to decipher the fleeting words: “This is… the last words of the Star Map Guardian.
It turns out that each star map fragment is infused with the life force of the guardian. Once the fragments are gathered, the power of the seal will backfire and release a more powerful chaotic force. "
Her voice was filled with despair, "We have been wrong all along. Collecting fragments is not for sealing, but for unlocking!"
At this moment, the sound of metal collision coming from deep in the cave became clearer and clearer. This time it was no longer a single rhythm, but the harsh sound of countless metal weapons rubbing against each other.
In the darkness, pairs of eyes glowing with a faint green light lit up, densely packed like the stars in the night sky.
Su Han felt his throat tighten. The number of eyes was far beyond his imagination. Bi Yao suddenly let go of Su Han's hand, and dark gold lines spread from her chest to her arms, turning into a translucent lightsaber.
"These are mechanical guards that have been corroded by the power of chaos. Their cores are fragments of star map fragments."
She swung her lightsaber, and wherever the sword energy passed, those dark green eyes burst open.
"We must find their center and destroy the core, otherwise we will never be able to stop the seal from breaking."
Su Han nodded, gripped the dagger tightly, and stood back to back with Bi Yao.
As the mechanical guards approached, he finally saw the appearance of these monsters...
Their bodies are made up of broken armor and twisted gears, with black slime flowing from their joints. With every step they take, deep pits are corroded on the ground.
The battle unfolded fiercely in the darkness. Su Han's dagger accurately pierced the joints of the mechanical guards, while Bi Yao's lightsaber continued to cut off their limbs.
However, these monsters seemed to have infinite vitality, and their severed limbs quickly grew back.
Su Han felt his strength draining away quickly. His back was soaked with sweat, and every swing of the sword became heavier.
Suddenly, a silver light shot out from the darkness and went straight to the back of Bi Yao.
Su Han didn't think twice and rushed forward, blocking the fatal blow with his body.
A sharp pain came from his left shoulder. He looked down and saw a metal bone spur piercing his shoulder, with blood dripping down the spur.
"Su Han!"
Bi Yao's voice was filled with fear. She turned around and used her lightsaber to cut off the bone spurs, and supported the staggering Su Han, "Are you crazy?"
"Why do you want to..." (End of this chapter)
