The Modern Age of the Mysterious

v1 Chapter 456: The secret that people ignore

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Father Taylor's chest heaved violently.

Starting from the promenade, he has moved quite a distance.

According to common sense, the speed of the three Dollins siblings cannot catch up with him.

However, traveling through the castle feels like falling into a nightmare that doesn't follow common sense...

The passage he steps on will become longer and longer. Even if you run with all your strength, it seems to be moving slowly.

But the world of the three brothers and sisters is different. The passage is shortening by itself, and the corner automatically turns...

As if the whole world was catering to them.

"That's for sure..." Taylor's physical strength has reached the limit, his body is in pain, and his lungs are burning as if they are about to explode, "The whole spiritual world... is their world."

"Dad..." A ghostly voice resounded behind Fagar Taylor again.

The priest turned his head like an aged tiger.

He knew that he could no longer run away.

No matter what happens, he must confront the three children who disappeared in the orphanage ten years ago...

"It's time to pay for my sins..."

In Taylor's ear, the giant who emerged from the ground was wailing:

"You promised to take care of them!"

Mrs. Dollings seemed to grab his arms again, her eyes mixed with despair and madness: "Promise me, Father Taylor!"

The dusty, empty room flashed before the old man's eyes.

The priest closed his eyes and channeled a ray of spiritual power into the delayed "curtain" played by the moonlight for him.

The dull piano sound was released, and it suddenly became bright.

The velvety canopy suddenly bloomed, including the priest and the three Dollins...

The three sisters and brothers looked around in awe.

In this airtight curtain, the priest held up the Holy Book and the rosary: ​​"Children...

"Exorcism is my job...

"Forgive me having to do this."

Moonlight senses that his delayed-release "Curtain" for Father Taylor is inspired.

This means that the priest will try to exorcise the three children.

"It's really... not very optimistic." The pianist's eyes became gloomy - although he was not a professional exorcist, he also knew how deeply and stubbornly the murderousness had taken root in the souls of those three little creatures.

"Hope Keane will bless you, Dad."

However, the pianist could only pray for the old priest for such a moment.

Because there is still a big problem in front of him that needs to be solved.

The dense sound of the piano converges into a dangerous melody.

"The Darkest", the climax of "The Nocturne", now resounds in the corridor, and even creates a rich black field that absorbs light...

At the center of the black field is an alchemy giant that seems to be absorbed by a black hole...

"The spiritual power displayed by the sound of the piano is really only Queen..." The magician never expected that there would be a magical technique of the same level that could block the footsteps of "complete body" imitators.

Moreover, the power of this strange tune is not only that.

He found that the imitators seemed to have fallen into a gloomy valley, and the valley was full of the breath of death...

This seems to be "the kingdom of the dead". In this kingdom, the dead are strong and the living are perishable!

"Darkest" is a movement that turns life and death, black and white.

At the climax of the orgy, the boundaries between life and death are blurred. The living people who have strayed into this place will find that the rotten ones are revelling, while the vigorous ones in the outside world are now dead!

Those originally fragile undead have become strong and crazy at this moment; and the parts of the imitators, as if they are undergoing the impact of the torrent of time, are rapidly decaying...

The dead fill the valley, and the living cannot move.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Yueguang suddenly felt something.

In the intense sound of the piano, a poem I once read came to my mind:

"I found cemeteries everywhere.

"Those houses that are full of life are also full of death, and this house is now.

"Streets, ships, playgrounds; Gregoire, Minston, Ferradmonya—

"Everywhere is full of the dead, as full of the living, and more...  

"Ah, after all, time is so long - there are far more dead than living." (Note 1)

It seems that I have glimpsed the secrets of this world that are ignored by everyone, but are obvious...

Moonlight·1902 seemed to see a world full of tombstones.

In the night sky, the spirit ring that overlaps with the Milky Way, its bright light even dimmed the lights of the city streets...

Death is a universal issue.

Time, so that everyone will eventually join the club called "Death".

The dead are more than the living.

As if seeing the true meaning, the fingers of the piano became firmer and smoother.

If he just learned how to play "Darkest" before...

At this moment, he has fully understood the song.

As if to appreciate this "understanding", the darkness at the bottom of the valley became even darker——

As if a piece was cut from the night sky, this darkness has completely engulfed the alchemy giant.

It is deep in the world of the dead, and it is dying.

The King class, who was fighting hard, had insight into the situation of his teammates.

Although severely weakened, the arrogant cleric is King class after all.

The guard of the kingdom of God did not look back, he just raised the holy hammer and shouted out the surging faith in his chest:

"When you pray in your heart—

"He will be with you!"

The proof of purification on the steel mask lit up.

The call sign inspired a circle of transparent sound waves that swept across the entire corridor.

The dark bottom created by "The Darkest" suddenly faded a little.

And the two teammates of the guards of the kingdom of God, the original spiritual power and fighting spirit have begun to decline...

At this moment, it suddenly rises up again!

It seems that the alchemy giant who has been forgotten in the valley for countless centuries moves again and moves forward bravely. It seems that he has ignored everything.

He trudged forward to face the dead, and the enhanced accessories on his body were blown into the abyss by the wind of the piano...

Step by step……

Step by step!

Life out of the dark!

Behind the imitator, the surgeon gritted his teeth, tried his last strength, and swung the scythe in his hand towards the pianist...

However, when the blade touched, the figure in the black suit and the pearly moon-white tie shattered like the shadow of the moon in the water.

The pair of "Undead Charlie's Tap Dancing Shoes" appeared behind the alchemy giant, the starting point of its departure.

The magician and his puppet turned around abruptly, unable to tell whether what they were seeing was real or an illusion—

A huge crescent moon illuminates the desolate land.

A twisted withered tree stretches out to the sky.

Under the dead tree, a young and melancholy pianist is playing ~lightnovelpub.net~ regardless of whether there is an audience here.

The world is as usual, the night sky is desolate and silent, and the sound of the piano finally comes to an end.

At the moment when the last note was played, the alchemy giant kneeling on the ground shattered.

"Winner takes all", Moonlight 1902 accepted the ancient spherical earrings from the magician.

At his feet is the "Clockwork Pavilion Magician" who has lost consciousness. The moonlight, whose spiritual power is almost exhausted, looks at the direction where the chains are slowly entrenched, with a slight breath.

Although he has won, he is still worried——

He noticed that the spiritual power of the remnant Max seemed to have disappeared.
