Chapter 19
The dead are gone, and the dead are gone.
In the spring of the 175th year of the God's descent, the devil's calamity came, the devil king was resurrected, and the Giant Wall Fortress fell.
Under the command of the devil king, a large number of monsters began to head south of the giant wall, and the place they passed was like a purgatory on earth.
Wangbi Town, an inconspicuous northern town, is also the first town south of the Giant Wall Fortress where human activities exist.
At the same time, Wangbi Town is also the first town invaded by monsters.
At the moment of falling into the belly of the monster, people finally knew that the legendary brave man did not lie.
Humans are indeed on the menu of monsters.
Overnight, most of the humans in the entire town became the monsters' meals.
At this time, in a ruin in the town, a little girl was lying on the ground with wounds all over her body, dying.
Her parents were being held in the hands of a red-haired monster, and were being sent into its bloody mouth little by little.
Her name was Nightingale, and she was the most ordinary girl in Wangbi Town.
"Don't..." Nightingale struggled to get up, wanting to save her parents, but could only watch her parents fall into the monster's mouth.
At that moment, her world lost all its colors.
Nightingale's life also began to slip away, and she knew that she was going to die.
"No, I can't die, I want to survive and kill all the monsters!"
"God, if you really exist, please save me."
"I am willing to give you everything I have."
As Nightingale's voice fell, a certain contract was signed.
Then, a beam of light fell from the sky.
Nightingale fell into a coma, and when she woke up again, the monster disappeared, and the wounds on her body disappeared.
The night had also gone, leaving only an indescribable giant face in the sky.
That giant face had both rules and no rules, giving people a feeling of both contradiction and harmony.
"God?"
The town of Wangbi also had the Temple of Light. Nightingale was no stranger to the existence of gods and saints.
According to legend, only saints can see gods.
In other words, the people who can see gods are saints and sons of saints.
"I became a saint."
Nightingale felt unreal and had mixed feelings.
"If I had become a saint earlier, maybe my parents would not have been eaten by monsters."
Unfortunately, there is no if.
After becoming a saint, Nightingale, in addition to regret, had more hatred, hatred for monsters.
"I swear, I will definitely drive all monsters out of this land!"
...
175 years after the descent of God, monsters came down from the north. In less than half a month, the entire northern part of the Xia Empire was completely destroyed.
The Temple of Light and the Royal Court of Shia responded quickly, and a large number of divine veins and divine magicians rushed to the north to drive out the monsters.
With the successive sacrifices of divine veins and divine magicians, the pace of the monsters' advance also slowed down.
In order to stop the fierce pace of the monsters, the Temple of Light and the Royal Court of Shia built a new giant wall named [Wall of Light] with the help of the long river-Snow River that crosses the Black Sand Continent.
This war between monsters and humans is known as the Giant Wall War.
In the same year, the identity of the fourth generation saint of the Temple of Light was confirmed.
In the winter of the same year, Yade II died. This longest-reigning king has received mixed reviews from history.
In every issue concerning the survival of mankind, Yade II made the most correct choice and preserved the fire of human civilization.
On the other hand, Yade II was obsessed with the struggle for power. At the same time, he was also a staunch supporter of [Bloodline Theory].
Like his father Loren, Ade II always believed that the divine veins should be superior to mortals.
Therefore, under his rule, the lives of ordinary people were not so easy.
In the spring of another year, Ade III, who was only 5 years old, was pushed to the throne by the Temple of Light.
Anyone with a discerning eye knew that this little king was just a puppet king.
In the 179th year of the God's Descent, the [Wall of Light] was finally built successfully.
The Wall of Light is much smaller than the giant wall in the Giant Wall Fortress, but this is already the current limit of the Temple of Light.
In the past four years, in order to build the Wall of Light, a large number of divine veins and divine magicians crossed the Snow River to hunt a steady stream of monsters.
Because of the disparity in strength, these divine veins and divine magicians who went to hunt demons were basically buried north of the Snow River.
It can be said that the Wall of Light is a wall built by the human race with flesh and blood.
And this is still the case when the Demon King did not show up.
In this Giant Wall War, from beginning to end, that has been
The revived Demon King has only appeared once.
And that time, it crushed the miracle of the Xia Empire - the Giant Wall Fortress.
...
"The Demon King is waiting, waiting for the appearance of the hero."
Nightingale knelt in front of the statue and expressed her guess.
At this time, Nightingale was just a ten-year-old girl, but no one dared to look down on her.
Because she was a saint.
In the Temple of Light, the saint had absolute right to speak, even though she was only ten years old.
"According to the revelation of the Book of Heaven, the Demon King will continue to be resurrected, and every time it is resurrected, it will become stronger until it breaks through the shackles of the plane."
"And in this world, only a hero can kill it, and it can only be resurrected in a stronger form if it is killed by a hero."
Nightingale knew that this was a vicious cycle.
Under the sky, only the legendary hero can kill the Demon King.
And once the hero kills the Demon King, the Demon King will be resurrected again and become stronger, until the Demon King has the power to destroy the human race.
If the demon king is not killed, the human race will be gradually devoured by the demons.
If the demon king is killed, the human race will also be destroyed by the demon king who is constantly resurrecting.
"How can there be such a creature in the world?"
Over the years, in order to take revenge, Nightingale has set up an institution specializing in the study of demons to study demons.
Most demons have characteristics that are difficult to understand.
Resurrection, splitting, explosion...
They have no wisdom, and all their evolution seems to be given to the flesh, and almost all living things are in their diet.
"What else can such a life bring except destruction?"
"I don't believe that they have no flaws."
All living creatures in the world have their shortcomings, and demons must also have their shortcomings.
Nightingale firmly believes that as long as she keeps studying, she will definitely find the fatal flaws of demons.
However, the demon king does not seem to want to give Nightingale this time.
In the 186th year of God's Descent, a large number of demons launched a fierce attack on the Wall of Light. The demon king appeared again and crushed the Wall of Light.
After this night, most of the Xia Empire fell.
The surviving humans retreated to the land where the gods descended.
Nightingale knew that she had no time.
The most important thing now was to find the [Sword of Destiny] and the legendary hero, so that the human race could have a glimmer of hope.
Two years later, the [Book of Heaven] revealed again.
Saint Nightingale opened the [Book of Heaven] and found a way to expel monsters:
"Only monsters can kill monsters."
Nightingale read out the revelation in the Book of Heaven word by word, somewhat puzzled.
After a while, Nightingale seemed to think of something and suddenly became excited:
"I know, I understand, if you want to kill monsters, you must first become a monster."
