The moon hangs brightly in the night sky, with a hint of coolness, spreading on the ground.

The wind and sand are still raging in the desert, as if they have never stopped, dancing wantonly in the air, carrying the terrifying breath of death, and it is noisy and domineering.

On the top of a high mountain standing in the desert, there are several figures standing faintly on the rocks.

Under the moonlight, there were only vague black shadows, and the faces could not be seen clearly. However, under the cyan moonlight, among the figures, the cold and shining light of the sword was clearly visible, which made people feel chilled all over.

These people, all dressed in strange clothes, are old and young, some are wrapped in sand-proof clothes, some are wearing sand-proof masks, and some are wearing nothing...

However, the only thing that is the same is that these people are all wearing different windbreakers, making a "squeaking" sound when the yellow sand blows.

In their hands, they carried different weapons. What was puzzling was that these weapons were either writing brushes or long swords. It was hard to guess what kind of people this was.

"Mage, it's almost time. It's almost time for those guys to arrive, right?"

The speaker was a young man holding a sharp sword in his hand, wearing black clothes and tilting his head so that his bangs covered his left eye, staring at the middle-aged man standing in the middle who was vaguely the leader.

He is holding a unique-shaped writing brush in his hand. There is a scar at the corner of his eye, which makes him look domineering and fierce. His name is Qin Nan.

"Practice, you can't bear it for so long? You really don't have any patience." A magnetic and calm voice.

Master Qin Nan squinted at the immature Lian. This young child was still a little out of sorts when faced with such a thing.

This made him uneasy. Those monsters were definitely not something that a person with this kind of personality could deal with. If he continued to practice like that, he would suffer losses sooner or later.

In this way, how can I explain to Lian's dead parents?

And tonight is definitely not the time to make mistakes. The full moon will definitely make those guys excited. I am afraid that even the apostle-level Hora will appear.

Master Qin Nan looked at the moon hanging in the night sky and felt a little uneasy.

Although the moon is beautiful, it brings death...

"I...aren't I a little excited?" Lian scratched his head and said. In fact, this was the first time for him to go out with a large army to hunt a group of Hora.

That's right, they gathered so many Knights of the Ring and Wizards of the Ring this time just to deal with the monsters who were about to cross this desert and travel to the other side to perform the full moon ceremony.

This is a rare gathering event for Hora. In order to eliminate these terrifying monsters that devour human souls, they, as guardians, must fight against them.

This is the mission of the Knight of the Ring and the Wizard of the Ring.

"Lian, do you remember what I once told you?" Master Qin Nan's serious tone, coupled with the way the scar at the corner of his eye twisted with the skin, made Lian couldn't help but become serious.

"Only after a brutal battle can one become a true Knight of the Ring." Qin Nan continued.

"Yes." Lian listened to Master Qin Nan's words and couldn't help but agree.

"hehe……"

Putting away his majestic expression, Master Qin Nan suddenly laughed, patted Lian's shoulder with his hand, and sighed.

"The future belongs to you. Whether you can create a world without Hora depends on you..."

Immediately, Master Qin Nan also paused, looking at the bright moonlight with melancholy eyes.

The extremely subtle sound also reached Lian's ears.

"This is also... my dream!"

"dream……"

Lian murmured, does this kind of dream belong to the old Lord of the Rings mage in front of him? It seems very simple, but in order to realize this dream, countless people have put in their efforts and lives.

Would such a world... really exist?

Lian couldn't help but be affected by his words.

However, just the next second, a hurried shout interrupted his fantasy.

"Report to the Archmage, we are waiting for guests to arrive, please give instructions." A young man wearing a black robe and holding a long sword ran over and said.

Lian was startled and was about to pick up his sword and take two steps forward, but he didn't expect someone to be faster than him.

"Are you here already?"

Master Qin Nan strode to the edge of the cliff and looked at the scene under the abyss.

Others did the same, following Master Qin Nan's footsteps to the edge of the cliff to visit.

"tear--"

The sound of gasping for air.

"Why are there so many?" Someone in the crowd suddenly exclaimed after seeing such a scene.

Master Qin Nan, who had seen the world, was also shocked, but his expression remained unchanged and he stared calmly at everything below.

Densely packed black shadows moved forward. Some of these shadows were walking, while others were flying with their wings flapping.

And if you look closely, you will see that these almost identical black figures are all gray, with ferocious bodies, thick and long tails, black and white wings, and long barbed horns. The overall image looks exactly like a demon.

It also exudes a disgusting smell...

Monsters like this were all over the desert cliffs and valleys. There were probably thousands of them, and they couldn't bear to look at them.

A certain Lord of the Rings mage in the crowd nervously held the magic pen in his hand, sweating profusely. Even the mages and the Lord of the Rings Knights couldn't help but tighten their weapons in their hands, as if they had found comfort in their hearts.

They had never seen such a scene before. It was simply terrifying.

Suddenly, Qin Nan lowered his voice and focused his eyes: "No, they found us."

Everyone was startled and looked intently. Sure enough, a Hora's eyes were staring at them closely, raising its head and roaring high.

"Chi————"

Almost at the next moment, all the Hora turned their gazes above them, and at a glance they saw the humans above who exuded an aura that made these monsters drool.

"It's the Knight of the Ring and the Wizard of the Ring, both of them deserve to die (in Diabolo)" said a Hora

"Chi————"

Thousands of magical beasts screamed wildly, and all flapped their wings in an instant, flying rapidly and flying over the food in their eyes. Their wings carried a different kind of wind in the desert, an evil wind.

Several people quickly backed away. Qin Nan took out his magic pen, pointed it at the Hora closest to them, and recited the incomprehensible Lord of the Ring spell.

"Attsu~"

With the pouring of Qin Nan's magic power, the magic pen in his hand emitted golden light from the tip of the pen, and instantly condensed a golden ball of light, wrapped in runes, and shot towards the Hora.

Hearing a loud "Peng——" sound, without any resistance, the Hora was easily exploded by the ball of light, and the sticky blood exploded to the ground, eroding the earth.

"Originally we planned to fight as we got closer, but now we can only act in advance! Everyone, copy the guy."

Qin Nan turned around and shouted loudly at the mages and knights, and then fired several balls of light in succession.

Then several Hora exploded when they touched it, and were destroyed in ashes.

"Yes! Mage." Everyone said in unison and took out the magic writing brushes they carried with them, and cooperated with Qin Nan's attacks, while some ordinary demon knights without titles pulled out their swords and summoned

The mass-produced mobile armor was killing Hora who was constantly rushing around.

"brush--"

The young man took out the Lord of the Rings sword and drew it in the air. The tip of the sword drew a circle of light in the air, creating a passage that emitted red light.

The next moment, Lian lowered his head fiercely, and a string of fragments carrying red light flew out of the passage, converging on Lian's body, forming a set of red armor.

The armor that reflected red light under the moonlight and the mighty helmet that resembled a wolf's head showed that this was not an ordinary Knight of the Ring, but Gaia, the Knight of the Fortress with red brilliance.

"ha!"

Lian held the big sword tightly and raised it to cut through the space in front of him. The cold sword light flashed and blood spurted out from the waists of the Hora in front of him and scattered into the air.

"clatter!"

Sensing the noise behind him, Qin Nan kicked away the ferocious Hora with his foul mouth in front of him and looked behind him.

"Lian!" Qin Nan couldn't help shouting, asking Lian, who was already wearing armor, to turn around.

"Master Qin Nan, I can successfully hunt Hora!"

Lian excitedly raised the sword in his hand, showing the joy in his heart when he summoned the armor for the first time to kill Hora.

Qin Nan grinned. The scar at the corner of his eye no longer brought him power, but instead brought him relief.

but……

He didn't notice at all what was behind him...

"ah……"

Lian's pupils shrank suddenly, and the expression on his face changed instantly.

"Mage beware!"

"Pfft——"

"Well……"

The loud roar shocked Qin Nan, but immediately the sound of a blunt instrument tearing apart the body's flesh rang through his ears, and he felt a heart-piercing pain in his abdomen.

When he looked down, he saw a long and ugly tail running through his abdomen, covered in blood.

And bright red blood dripped onto the ground through the tip of its tail.
