Lord of the Oasis

It was the sun disk.

It appeared at the top of the temple’s eaves, revealing half of it, and emitting a sacred golden light!

Kant looked over. The sun disk at the top of the temple should have been supported by a stone statue, but for various reasons, the stone statue cracked and even the golden disk collapsed on the roof.

If they had not come back again, they would have missed this sun disk.

The group quickly approached the temple. The traces of their footsteps back then were still vivid in their minds.

Time had not passed that long.

Reaching the triangular temple was like the Mayan Pyramids. Other than the hall at the top, there were stone stairs at the bottom. They walked up the stairs and finally came to the stone door of the hall again.

It was still open, pitch-black, as if darkness was gathering in it.

However, it was not completely dark.

A faint golden light emerged from the depths.

Kant frowned slightly. In the alley ten meters away, the hall of the temple was full of bones. However, the half-closed door now had light glowing inside it. Moreover, it was very bright, as if hundreds of candlesticks were lit at the same time.

“There is a special energy fluctuation inside.”

Bunduk reminded him, “It’s a little strange, but it’s already very weak. It can’t pose a threat.”

“Can you differentiate it clearly?” Kant frowned and asked.

“No.” Bunduk hesitated for a moment, but after sensing it seriously, he still shook his head apologetically. “My perception can’t compare to those mages. This is my weakness. I’m very sorry about this.”

“It’s okay. We’ll know once we go in and take a look.”

Kant wasn’t angry.

This was the truth. Although the Pendor Continent belonged to the world with low magic, the magic in Pendor was declined even worse than this world.

But it was still able to give birth to grand knights with extraordinary powers, elves who were still struggling to survive in the dark, and the underworld, which could only invade the continent in small groups. This was enough to prove the Pendor Continent’s past glory.

It was no worse than the world Kant had transmigrated to!

There was nothing to fear.

Holding the Sword of King in his hand, Kant took the lead and entered the alley.

The two Lion Knights on the side were even faster. They walked in front of Kant, held their shields and swords, and opened the door in front of them, completely releasing the light in the hall.

“Hualala –”

In the golden light, intense applause sounded.

The two Lion Knights, Kant, and the others entered the hall together. They saw that in the brightly lit hall, a man and woman dressed in bright clothes were enthusiastically turning their heads to look at them. They were clapping their hands with all their might, and there were bright smiles on their faces.

Noble, priests, soldiers, artisans, and all sorts of men, women, and children.

“Welcome back.”

At the end of the hall, on the steps, an old man with white hair and a beard was standing on the spot.

He was dressed in luxurious clothes made of gold and platinum. He held a scepter made of gold and gemstones in his hand. He looked at Kant kindly and nodded gently. “My heir, have you completed my mission?”

Kant remained silent. He stood in front of the door and looked at the people in front of him.

He frowned.

The Lion Knights beside him had cold expressions on their faces. They had already pulled out a small part of their swords.

Even Bunduk’s body was covered in black fog. A demonic shadow appeared behind him. It whistled through the air with a sinister and terrifying aura. It swept through the golden light in the surroundings. It was as if both sides were in a stalemate and were fighting against each other.

The situation was not right. This was already extremely strange. No one let their guard down.

“Oh.”

Kant looked at the old man in front of him and said playfully, “Aren’t you dead?” He looked at the people in front of him who were looking at him fervently. His tone was merciless. “Aren’t all of you dead as well? Haven’t you all turned into white bones?”

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, Whoosh –”

A gust of violent wind blew in the void.

The faces that were originally eager and smiling suddenly froze.

A strange expression appeared in everyone’s eyes. A hatred and resentment toward the living instantly appeared, but what was even more vicious was the gradually hideous face, as well as the whimpering.

The temperature instantly dropped. The originally gorgeous and bright faces of the people were already distorted.

However, the resentment was not directed at Kant.

It was directed at the high platform, the old man who was leaning on the scepter, dressed in luxurious clothes, and had a golden crown on his head!

There was a faint mocking smile at the corner of Kant’s mouth. He looked at the people on both sides who had tears of blood flowing out of their eyes. He shook his head and said, “It seems that their hatred towards you far exceeds their hatred towards the living.”

“There’s nothing I can do about it. This is my fault. After so long, they still can’t forget it.” the old man calmly raised his scepter.

As the golden light flashed, the originally well-dressed women and children in the hall were instantly shattered into piles of white bones. They fell onto the floor of the entire hall.

“Their obsession is very strong.” Kant was expressionless. He did not feel uncomfortable with the bones that fell on the floor.

The entire hall immediately became quiet again.

There was a sacred golden light shining, but in front of him was only the old man at the end of the hall and Kant and the others at the door.

The scene was slightly quiet, but Kant walked forward. The two extraordinary powers in his body were already on guard. He looked straight at the old man and said calmly, “Your holiness, I didn’t expect you to still exist.”

“I didn’t expect it either.”

The old man nodded and said calmly, “It’s just that previously, I felt the divine power of the Sun God.”

“Oh.” Kant nodded. “Interesting.”

The old man was the one Kant had met back then. He had transformed from a lich into a spirit body. He was the pope of the Sun God Sect, who had already disappeared in history and only had a spirit body left!

The old pope did not care about Kant’s rudeness. He already understood the cause and effect.

In fact, he was still alive, which was a blasphemy against the Sun God. He was the most serious traitor. If it were in the era of the ancient gods, he would be punished, and his soul would have been burned on the divine fire for a hundred years!

The old pope sighed slightly. Looking at Kant’s calm appearance, he leaned on the scepter that he had transformed into with golden light, he asked, “Human, have you gone to the Holy City of Gold and found the Holy Maiden of the Sun in the Coffin of Eternity? She is the direct bloodline of the Sun God. If you find her, you can marry her and obtain the great power of the Sun God.”

“Oh, the Holy Maiden of the Sun? I don’t understand.”

Kant said calmly, “I found a golden coffin in the passage outside. There is a woman inside and a sealed female succubus beside it.”

The old pope was slightly stunned. “Is that so? She has also fallen.” He nodded, he sighed. “In ancient times, the war between the gods and demons lasted until both sides were at the end of their lives. You humans and other races joined forces and began to attack us, the descendants of the gods. In the end, because the gods and demons did not trust each other, they were both exterminated.”

“What does it matter?” Kant asked.

“Nothing.” the old pope shook his head and smiled bitterly. “That was the backup item for the Coffin of Eternity that I prepared. I just let my daughter lie in it.” After a pause, the old pope looked at Kant. “Is she okay?”

“She was killed by me, and that female succubus.”

Kant said calmly, “She died very quickly. She did not feel any pain.”
