Traveler of the River of Time and Space-Chapter 436 - 43: Eldritch Who Devoured Gods 1_2

For a moment.

Su Ziyu also wasn't sure if he should tell her that her brother had long since died and been consumed by Eldritch.

He turned to look at Sister Fried beside him, who gently shook her head.

Forget it.

Let's rescue her first and talk later.

Su Ziyu directly reached out to the half-dragon girl in front of him and said, "Let's go. Follow me."

—— "Spatial Perception."

A white spiritual light appeared in Su Ziyu's vision, and spatial nodes emerged one by one. The barrier set up by Pope Shalivan was quite formidable, but for him, it wasn't particularly difficult to break.

—— "Spiritual Transmission!"

After You'Er Xia cautiously walked over, Su Ziyu immediately reached out and grabbed her hand, then signaled Sister Fried to follow. A spiritual transmission instantly transported them to the large spiral staircase.

"Finally out..." You'Er Xia's shoulders trembled slightly, her expression uncontrollably excited.

She turned and looked up at the grand hall, murmuring, "Brother!"

"I'm going to rescue you right now."

After saying that, she wanted to rush directly towards the higher Yanorlund, which startled Su Ziyu because the god-consuming Eldritch was inside, and he quickly stopped the half-dragon girl, hesitating for a moment before saying, "There is something you need to know."

"What is it?" You'Er Xia slightly furrowed her brows and asked.

"Your brother..." Su Ziyu thought for a moment and simply said: "After Shalivan caught your brother, he offered him to the abyssal saint Eldritch for consumption..."

Eldritch the cannibal?

Upon hearing Su Ziyu's words, You'Er Xia trembled all over. She naturally knew what fate awaited her brother in the hands of Eldritch.

Instantly.

A cold and dark aura burst from the half-dragon girl in front of him, her eyes slightly vacant, her pupils seemingly swirling with darkness, and in her hand, an obscure longsword appeared without him knowing.

"No... this isn't real..." You'Er Xia stared at Su Ziyu, her voice trembling violently.

Sister Fried sighed, then stepped forward and said, "It's true."

"Ever since the bells at the Fire Transmission Ritual Site rang, everything had already happened."

The half-dragon girl in front began to tremble and sob, but quickly regained her composure, though her face showed no change in expression anymore, with her dim and lifeless eyes saying softly, "I need to go inside and see..."

"Will you help me?"

"In return, I will do my best to fulfill your every request!"

Upon hearing these words, Sister Fried whispered in Su Ziyu's ear, "She likely knows the secrets of the Painting World."

Su Ziyu thought for a moment and then said, "That's why we're here."

Although this half-dragon girl's strength wasn't very strong, she was, after all, the daughter of Sun King Gwyn, and many divine secrets needed to be obtained from her.

If it hadn't been for the attack by the Ashen One, Su Ziyu wouldn't have discovered there was a person imprisoned atop the tower.

As long as they're alive, there's room for negotiation.

"Thank you for lending a hand." You'Er Xia slightly bowed, then remained silent, walking directly towards the ascending staircase.

Sister Fried lagged slightly behind, whispering softly in Su Ziyu's ear, "Just now, some of her humanity has faded."

"Be careful."

Humanity faded?

Su Ziyu couldn't see humanity, but he felt the other might have darkened somewhat from intense emotional turmoil.

After being imprisoned for so many years, she suddenly learned her brother had been offered up to be eaten.

The fact that she calmed down so quickly was remarkable.

This You'Er Xia might have a bit of a brother complex; it was obvious she was deeply attached and concerned about her brother.

Yanorlund used to be the royal city of the Divine Race, but now it was sparsely populated, with no sightings in the outside world for almost hundreds of years.

A cold wind blew toward them.

Su Ziyu had just entered Yanorlund when a silver-clad heavy knight emerged from the staircase ahead, a trace of red light flickering in his eyes. Upon seeing Su Ziyu, he immediately raised his shield and charged.

Boom!

A longsword came slashing at him, the blade shimmering with faint golden lightning as it swung out. Su Ziyu had just blocked with his sword, and he immediately felt a slight numbness.

—— "Silver Knight [Divine Race] [Abyssal Erosion]!"

Damn.

The silver knights here were different from those outside.

Su Ziyu had dealt with Pope Knights and similar Silver Knights before, but while their power was impressive, their weapons never had lightning attached, nor did they have the ability to control golden lightning.

"Be careful!"

"It's a knight of the Divine Race." Sister Fried sidestepped slightly, then wielded her scythe to meet another Silver Knight wielding a Dragon-Hunting Spear.

Three knights in identical silver-white heavy armor rushed over.

Their equipment appeared standard, but the weapons differed. Two of the Silver Knights used longswords, while the other wielded a Dragon-Hunting Spear.

The heavy Dragon-Hunting Spear thrust forward.

Unlike the Thunder Spear attached by Su Ziyu, the enemy's spear with every attack manifested a golden lightning at the tip. These enemies' strength was greater, their movements strikingly agile, and their Silver Shields nearly capable of deflecting any frontal assault. If swung too forcefully, they would seize the opportunity for a counterattack.

Of course, the worst part was the golden lightning attached to their weapons, requiring no chanting or preparation at all. Even ordinary attacks carried lightning damage, akin to an innate talent.

Clang clang clang.

In just this short time, two more spear-wielding knights appeared at the top of the steps, swiftly encircling them.

Their numbers were overwhelming!

Su Ziyu retreated after taking a step back, brushing past Sister Fried as she raised her scythe to summon a field of ice. He then pulled out his Gauss Sniper Rifle and fired at the Silver Knight with the Dragon-Hunting Spear posing the greatest threat.

Bang!

With a faint crack of the gunshot, this Silver Knight's head was blown off directly, not spilling fresh brain matter but a dried-up mass of flesh.

They had all turned to zombies.

But with heavy armor on, it was completely unnoticeable.

Electrical flashes burst forth.

One Silver Knight actually threw his spear forward, and amid the sharp whistling while breaking through the air, he drew out a longsword and leaped down with a crackling thunderous slash.

—— "Thunder Spear!"

Seeing many enemies stirred, Su Ziyu could only expend some Spiritual Energy, reaching out to catch the thrown spear, then countered with a Thunder Spear hurled forward.

"Gained 2 Source Power Value."

"Gained 2 Source Power Value."

These knights of the Divine Race didn't drop Divinity Value, but almost each possessed Source Power Value.

The battle didn't last long.

After all, both Su Ziyu and Sister Fried were at the level of Lords of Cinder, so dealing with these Silver Knights wasn't challenging, just somewhat time-consuming. Now he could confirm that You'Er Xia genuinely wasn't strong, with her ability only match a Silver Knight one-on-one, whether due to the fading First Flame or her inherent capabilities.

Probably because she didn't have pure divine lineage.

After all, she had a dragon's tail.

——"Dragon-Hunting Spear (High Tier Artifact): A spear used by warriors of the Divine Race during the birth of the Age of Fire, designed specifically to tackle dragons, imbued with thunder attribute damage, can be used with Thunder Spear. Attributes: Legendary Armor-Piercing."

From these Silver Knights, Su Ziyu unexpectedly obtained a second Dragon-Hunting Spear.

He had acquired quite a few weapons in this world.

A Yirushir Straight Sword, a Dark Greatsword, two Dragon-Hunting Spears, two Storm Tamers, along with one Sinful Greatsword he hadn't yet employed.

The harvest was abundant in weaponry, with enough to assemble a telekinetic sword formation if more were acquired.

The only unused weapon was the Sinful Greatsword, and Su Ziyu always felt uncomfortable wielding it, even though its power was undeniably substantial.

Some scattered souls were collected.

In front of the group, an exceptionally magnificent and grand palace appeared in sight.

That was where the Lord of Cinder had hidden.

After leaving the Abyssal Church, Eldritch had been hiding there to digest the consumed gods.
