Chapter 270 – Wake up, old friend!

Taufman didn't expect the situation to develop like this. At the moment, the people from both sides have already started fighting.

Neo stood up, preparing to take this opportunity to go to the depths of the Nostalgia Palace.

Taufman also stood up, clenched his right fist, and what was more urgent than stopping the meaningless conflict between the two sides was to first deal with the person in front of him. He couldn't let this person really get the Contract Conch to awaken Dolons.

As for why he had to accompany him to this point, Taufman himself didn't know. Maybe he just wanted to see his plan clearly, maybe he was just curious, or maybe he was tempted by the Filias family's treasure.

In any case, it couldn't be because he was truly moved by the light at that moment.

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

"Oh, by the way."

Neo suddenly turned around at this moment, and at the same time, took out a milky white sphere from his clothes. The sphere was covered with dense holes.

"Do you know what this is?"

"What?"

"The nest of the cursed worms."

Taufman's gaze condensed. He was almost certain that the person in front of him was the parasite of Filias, and the cursed worms targeting the Dark Moon clan were bred by Filias.

At this moment, a burst of light appeared in Neo's palm, and the nest started to rotate. Then, Neo directly threw the nest towards Taufman.

"Catch it!"

Taufman instinctively reached out to catch it, but the nest exploded halfway and flew out.

"Light - Incinerate!"

A sea of fire immediately appeared in front of Taufman, completely blocking the area where the nest had exploded. When the fire of light contracted, those flying worms were easily annihilated without any struggle.

These were not cursed worms, they were ladybugs!

When Taufman looked towards Neo's position again, he found that Neo had already disappeared.

Although Neo used to have these kinds of worms in his body, that was ten years ago. It was impossible for him to have these worms around him now, but that didn't stop him from using them to scare this "traitor".

...

The Nostalgia Palace was a sacred place on Dark Moon Island, not only because it symbolized the "touching and tearful" love story of the ancestor, Bernard, but also because it was the burial place of the ancestor, Bernard.

A tall statue belonging to Miss Pall stood there. At the feet of Miss Pall, there was a bay trench about one meter wide, which surrounded a pool in front.

The liquid flowing inside was not mountain spring water, but magma brought down.

Therefore, the Nostalgia Palace was just the name most people on Dark Moon Island called it. In fact, it had many other names, some of which were related to fire.

Because Miss Pall was best at fire attribute power, the ancestor Bernard specially designed this for her.

Bernard's coffin was not buried underground, but placed on the platform. There was a protective cover around the platform, which protected it from wind and rain day and night.

In the touching love story on Dark Moon Island, this was because the ancestor Bernard didn't want to leave Miss Pall alone and enter the surface alone, so he would always accompany her on top.

Fortunately, there were always guards here to protect it, so there was no need to worry about tomb robbers.

Of course, except for today.

Neo walked up the steps and came to the front of the coffin. His hands were shaking rapidly, and strands of light threads extended from his fingertips, entering the surroundings of the coffin.

At this moment, the captain looked like he was playing the piano, but he was actually breaking the defense barrier of the coffin.

"Bernard, whether you find it funny or not, the formation you are good at was learned from me. Even if you added the elements of Dark Moon to it, the core of the formation hasn't changed."

While breaking the formation, the captain's gaze looked towards the huge statue in front. There were actually quite a few statues of Miss Pall on Dark Moon Island, after all, she was the heroine of the love story. But this one was the largest, most detailed, and most vivid.

You could clearly perceive the character conveyed by this statue - proud, free-spirited, and full of confidence.

"I once thought that it was a great pity that you and Bernard were not together, Miss Pall. But the fact is, Miss Pall, you may have already discovered Bernard's true face long ago."

The captain's hands and fingers suddenly stopped, and then he pulled back forcefully.

"Buzz!"

The protective cover that had guarded the coffin for hundreds of years was completely broken at this moment.

This coffin was even confident enough to not use coffin nails, which meant that although the coffin lid and the coffin were tightly sealed with almost no gaps, the coffin lid was just covering it and not fixed in any other way.

With a push of the hand, the coffin lid could be pushed open.

But just as the captain's hand reached halfway, it stopped.His lips curled into a smile. "Bernard, I know what kind of person you are."

Just then, Tuffman appeared behind the captain, his delayed fist smashing towards the captain.

The captain seemed to have anticipated Tuffman's approach, and he dodged the punch by sidestepping, flipping over to the other side of the coffin. He immediately exerted force with his left hand, pushing against the coffin lid.

Tuffman leaped into the air, his fists enveloped in the power of the Dark Moon, and smashed down towards the captain once again.

The captain retreated, falling down the steps of the coffin stand.

At that moment, under the force of the previous push, the coffin lid opened halfway.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a huge black smoke rose from the coffin, followed by the appearance of an evil spirit within the smoke. The evil spirit opened its mouth and bit directly towards Tuffman, who was closest to the coffin at that moment.

Tuffman had never expected such a scene to occur when the coffin was opened. His body was instantly engulfed by the evil spirit, but in the next moment, a blazing light burst forth from him, forcing open the evil spirit's mouth, and he quickly retreated.

After biting, the evil spirit dissipated.

Tuffman's body was covered in dense black spots, each spot containing a terrifying contamination of evil spirits.

Taking a deep breath, Tuffman clenched his right fist, and the black spots on his body began to move rapidly, eventually gathering on his right arm. In an instant, the black spots disappeared from the rest of his body, but his right arm had completely turned black.

Tuffman raised the Dark Moon Blade in his left hand and swung it down towards his right arm.

"Splurt!"

His right arm fell off.

"Radiance - Purification!"

The power of purification struck the pitch-black arm, but it was unable to eliminate it.

The captain, who had stood at a distance and had not been affected by the evil spirit, shouted, "If purification doesn't work, use sealing."

Tuffman immediately condensed a sealing technique with his left hand and struck his right arm, covering it with a layer of white frost.

"You are even stronger than I imagined. Your mastery of the power of radiance is higher than I expected," Tuffman said coldly, scanning the captain with disdain.

"But don't be too pleased with yourself for avoiding it. I know your ancestor's malice better than you do. Of course, I have also been deceived miserably. This contamination of evil spirits cannot be stopped by simply cutting off an arm. It has already entered your soul. You can only hold on for a week at most, and then your soul will be possessed by the evil spirits."

Although it took some time to break the protective barrier of the coffin, the captain had managed to open it before Tuffman arrived. However, the captain hesitated and did not proceed.

Because he knew Bernard too well.

With Bernard's temperament, how could he not have a final layer of protection for his own coffin?

Anyone who dared to open his coffin would be killed by him!

The captain walked towards the coffin, but Tuffman, with only one arm left, once again stood in front of the captain.

"Phileas, I know about the grudge between you and my ancestor. I also understand that it was my ancestor who wronged you back then. But I'm sorry, even though I possess the power of radiance, deep down, I am still a member of the Dark Moon clan.

I cultivate radiance only to protect the Dark Moon, to protect my people, my subjects.

I will not allow you to awaken Dolons."

"You were quite troublesome before, and I couldn't even guarantee that I could defeat you. But now, you no longer have the ability to stop me."

"I know," Tuffman nodded.

Then, he placed his left hand on his chest, and a black shadow appeared once again, forming an evil spirit face on his chest. This was the contamination of evil spirits hidden within his soul, which Tuffman actively brought out, even though this choice would accelerate the invasion of his soul by the evil spirits.

"I may really be unable to stop you now, but at least I can infect you with this contamination," Tuffman said.

"Awakening Dolons is for the sake of radiance."

"I've already said it, I don't believe in radiance."

"What about the treasure? Don't you want it?"

"Will you give it to me?" Tuffman asked in return. "Will you give half of it to Dark Moon Island, Phileas?"

"You can touch the pocket on your chest. There, you will find half of the reincarnation tickets that I gave you earlier."

"Don't waste your breath, Phileas. I can't possibly trust you. There is no possibility of cooperation between us."

The captain looked somewhat embarrassed. "Well, that's awkward. It seems that I really can't deceive you."

"Hehe," Tuffman laughed.

Although he had just lost an arm and had been contaminated by the evil spirits, he couldn't bring himself to hate the person in front of him.He could kill those remnants of the Light without any mercy, but he found the person in front of him very interesting. Inexplicably, he felt that they were very similar.

And indeed, it was true.

One believed in the Dark Moon;

One believed in the Order of Light;

Both emitted light, but their hearts were not pure white.

At this moment, the sounds of battle outside gradually subsided. It seemed that both sides, who had gone crazy due to the explosion, gradually realized that the fight was meaningless and began to stop.

Soon, the guards of the Dark Moon would arrive.

"It's really annoying. It was supposed to be an interesting matter, but in the end, you stopped it. It makes me unhappy."

Taufman spoke, "The commotion here might attract the bishops of the two major sects. You should escape now while you still can."

The captain also smiled and said, "The general who controls the Dark Moon Island's naval fleet is actually a remnant of the Light. Aren't you afraid that I will spread this news?"

"If my identity can no longer be concealed, I am willing to choose suicide. Can you do the same?"

"I can't. I'm just here for fun, not to die."

At this moment, the figures of the Dark Moon guards appeared on the outskirts. They were rushing here.

The captain began to retreat, "Look, because of the negotiations between the two orthodox sects, the atmosphere on Dark Moon Island has become so oppressive. It's like a drought-stricken land, desperately needing a roar from Dolons to obtain rain. Can't you give us a chance?"

"You really don't need to waste time on this issue because it is fundamentally impossible."

"Oh, well, then I'll leave."

The captain took out a scroll and threw it on the ground. Suddenly, a strong wind blew. It was a scroll of concealment magic, used to escape and cut off pursuit.

Taufman saw the person's figure disappear in the strong wind, and he let out a sigh of relief.

"General!"

"General!"

Two captains of the Dark Moon guard arrived by Taufman's side with their subordinates. They were injured, and many of them still had blood stains on their swords. Their disheveled hair was blown around by the strong wind.

This matter was a misunderstanding, but Taufman knew that in the end, the Order of Light would need to intervene to help mediate, otherwise the Reincarnation Sect would not give up.

After all, Dark Moon Island was the host, and ensuring the safety of the participants was Dark Moon Island's responsibility.

"General, your arm..." one of the guard captains said as he was about to pick up the frozen arm on the ground.

"Don't touch it!"

"Yes, General."

"I will negotiate with the Reincarnation Sect. All of this... is the provocation of the remnants of the Light." Taufman's face showed a self-mocking expression.

But at this moment, the figure that had disappeared in the distance suddenly reappeared.

Taufman was stunned. He saw the person placing his hands in front of his mouth, as if he was blowing something, but there was no conch shell in his hands. Taufman was certain that the person had not actually touched what was inside the coffin!

However, at this moment, the long sound of the conch shell resounded.

Taufman's eyes widened, and he shouted, "Cover the coffin quickly!"

The captain continued to blow, wanting to blow the conch shell. It didn't necessarily have to be held in the hand.

The essence of sound was vibration.

The scroll was not for his own convenience to escape, but to create an environment suitable for playing, an environment suitable for transmitting vibrations.

He didn't need to hold the Conch of the Covenant in his hand at all. He just needed... the coffin lid to be opened, so that the sound would not be blocked.

The guards of the Dark Moon pushed the coffin lid back, and the sound coming from inside the coffin instantly disappeared.

Taufman shouted to the captain, "The distance is not enough. Did you forget the distance between the Temple of Remembrance and the Guze Water Pool?"

At this moment, the captain stopped blowing, put down his hand, and looked at Taufman, saying, "Oh, that was a lie I told your ancestors."

"...Taufman."

The captain turned around, facing the direction of the Guze Water Pool, and said slowly:

"It's time to wake up, old friend."

...

Karun and Ophelia were still taking a walk. As the owner of Dark Moon Island, Ophelia had promised Karun to show him around the island.

The first place Ophelia chose was the Temple of Remembrance.

But Karun refused.

If Ophelia hadn't come to find him today, he would probably have gone to meet the captain in the afternoon to see if he could help him with anything.

Although the captain didn't assign him any specific tasks, he implied that he wanted Karun to come and assist.

But now that Ophelia was here, it was not suitable for him to take her to the Temple of Remembrance.

Taking a walk with a girl was quite comfortable;

But going to dig up her family's ancestral grave with her was a bit unethical.Karun had already informed the captain beforehand that he would not use Ophelia's identity to distract the guards of the Palace of Remembrance. The captain understood and accepted this.

Of course, Karun couldn't use this as a reason to refuse Ophelia. The excuse he gave was:

"I'm not ready to face him yet. The closer I get to my hometown, the more cowardly I become emotionally."

In the end, it was Karun who suggested going to the Ancient Marsh Pond.

There, was the resting place of Dorons, and it was also a very beautiful scenic spot.

Karun thought that although he couldn't go to the Palace of Remembrance to help the captain now, if the captain succeeded, he could witness the "sunrise" at the Ancient Marsh Pond.

At this moment, Karun and Ophelia were sitting on a hill in front of the Ancient Marsh Pond. One side of the hill was a slope, and the side facing the pond was a steep cliff. The two of them sat on the edge of the cliff, as if they were truly admiring the scenery ahead.

The evening sunset bathed the pond in a warm yellow light, making it incredibly beautiful and gentle. The pond was like a dressing mirror filled with tender emotions, like a giant blue amber fallen into the world.

Ophelia looked at Karun and asked, "Is it only on Dark Moon Island that we can sit so close and enjoy the scenery?"

"We are friends, good friends."

"I hope you won't say something cliché like you only see me as a sister."

"No, because you seem older than me."

"Hehe." Ophelia laughed, pointing at the pond below, "Karun, you give me the feeling of this pond, as if it will never ripple, always so smooth and composed."

"Ah, I've said before, I'm a bit precocious, maybe because of some special reasons, I don't have the impulsiveness and recklessness that should belong to this age."

"But if you had those, I might not have feelings for you. Actually, I really like your elegance and propriety."

Well, it turns out, you have a thing for older men.

Ophelia sighed, looking a bit desolate, "Maybe it's too late, it's just too late, there's no room left on the deck."

Karun didn't say anything.

Ophelia asked, "I thought you would reply that you could wait for the next ship."

Karun shook his head, "Thank you for waiting for me at the dock. It was beautiful."

"But destined to be just a scenery?"

"I will remember, really."

"Really? I will remember. So, I feel that no matter what I do, I can't truly touch your heart. Your heart is like this pond, surrounded by towering mountains on all sides. My wind can't blow in, so it's always calm towards me."

"Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Suddenly, a terrifying loud noise came from the ground, followed by a horrifying violent tremor, and then...

The mountain,

Collapsed.
