Chapter 904 Arrow of Vengeance
"Archer?" Azil was stunned. The god warriors often gained the ability of giant body shape or powerful magic in ascension.
The former can often maintain a huge size as long as they want, and then pick up giant weapons to become unstoppable war machines. They can also be magical, but they are a little weaker. The latter stays in a safer position, strategizes, and uses different magic to provide assistance to comrades or kill enemies at a long range.
But archers, does this really have it?
The mage does not need a bow and arrow to kill the enemy. A powerful warrior can just pull the bow and just pull the bow.
After thinking for a long time, Azel didn't expect who Jeno was talking about until Jeno revealed the answer.
"His name is Virus, and he is now in Shurima." He had confirmed that Virus had escaped from the seal and crossed the ocean from Ionia, following a certain river to Shurima.
Time can be speculated that it should have arrived before Azil's resurrection. Because the river that Virus was flowing upstream, the river was suspended and turbid, and it was definitely not the mother of life, and the mother of life was flowing again after Azil's resurrection.
"I remembered... No matter what he became later, Verus was a role model of loyalty and honor." Azer suddenly realized, but his tone was not very pleasant, as if he was ashamed.
As a skilled archer of the ancient Shurima Empire, Varus was assigned to protect a temple in the eastern Shurima when he was a human, and he regarded this as a supreme duty.
The Ekasia War broke out, and the temple and Virus's hometown were attacked. He used his attack to face the enemy, and every arrow shot was accompanied by his heart-wrenching roar.
Because he chose to stick to his oath to protect the temple, instead of returning home to protect his family.
The temple was kept, but Varus's family also died. In recognition of his valuable dedication, the Empire invited Varus to join the Ascension.
During the war, the number of ascenators dropped sharply. Therefore, the Ascension Group urgently needed a large amount of new blood to fight the void.
They lowered the threshold for ascension, making the screening process less stringent than before. Those with a little reputation will invite ascension.
Although this move has supplemented the number of ascenators, its quality is different from the past.
Perhaps because of the power of faith when ascending, the new ascendants are generally weaker than the old ascendants, and their morality often has problems. Verus is one of them - the conflict between family and responsibilities left an indelible harm in his heart. He should have been grateful when ascendant, but his thoughts were just to seek revenge from Akasia and the void.
It seemed that Varus did not understand that Shurima finally won the war, and hundreds of years later it was not entirely clear how the empire fell, and his mind became extremely distorted.
Because Varus is the weaker group among the Ascenators, only few people know him. If Azer hadn't been immersed in the library when he was a child and saw Varus's deeds, he might have never even heard of Varus's name.
But although Varus is like a reserve member who makes up the numbers, in fact, he killed many void monsters in Akasia, and he can rank ahead of many old ascenators. This is the counting that begins when the war is in the middle of the war.
It all depends on the belief in revenge.
Azer knew Velus, so when he heard the name, he felt guilty for the Empire for him.
He protected the temple for Shurima, but Shurima did not protect his family.
As for how Varus became a dark person and was sealed into the bow, it was not something Azil knew.
His mind became extremely distorted, and the continuous atrocities made him an introverted, cold-blooded killer. His fallen compatriots sent him to the battlefield again and again.
Before he knew it, he was called the Dark Seed by mortals.
While fighting in the inside, they destroyed anyone who dared to be enemies. The crystal longbow in Varus's hand was specially used to assassinate the enemy's commanders and heroes, making it easier for the Dark Seed to wipe out the mortal legion.
Afterwards, he was forced into a desperate situation, sealed into the bow, and brought to the deep well hidden in the lightless one of Ionia.
When he woke up, he discovered Shurima's last glory - those dark-born compatriots were killed by the mortals.
He once hated the void, and from then on he hated humans. Since there is no void creature to kill, he will kill people, and the arrow of revenge comes from this.
"Although Varus has become a dark person, his loyalty is absolutely reliable. And compared to humans, he hates the void more, which is a great help to us purify Kaliksey."
Geno knew that because there were two checks and balances in his body, Varus' evil against humans was chaotic, and Kay and Valmer would desperately stop him from pulling the bow and killing people.
"Since you know he is in Shurima, this means you have a way to find him?" Azel looked at Geno and said meaningfully.
"Verus seems to have revisited the old place, and went to the temple he once guarded, where he looked for a snake-headed god warrior."
"The snake-headed god warrior? There are several of them..." Azir murmured hesitantly, swaying among the multiple choices.
"Verus called her sister, and the two seemed to have become close friends after becoming god warriors. She replaced Verus' dead family and became his spiritual comfort. She was very important to him."
"You said the female snake-headed god warrior?" Azir suddenly realized that he had only one impression that met this standard, that is: "Naganeka?!"
"It seems to be called this name." Geno nodded hesitantly, because there was too little information about the Ascensioner. He only knew that Varus was looking for someone, and the name of this person was derived from the verbal connections of various hero information.
"Naganeka is upright and kind, very friendly to other god warriors and humans, and I don't know why he ascended out of the snake's head."
The image after ascension is related to human qualities, just as the eagle symbolizes arrogance, the jackal symbolizes wisdom, and the crocodile symbolizes roughness. Snakes often symbolize evil. Whether it is the snake saved by the farmer or the snake in the Garden of Eden, they are not a good thing.
"After the explosion of the Dawn Oasis, Naganeka disappeared. Velus could not find her in the temple, so we were one step slower." Nathers said. Since he could not find anyone in the temple, Velus must have left. They could not find Velus again, and the clue was cut off.
Listening to Nathers' words, Geno shook his head and suddenly said something that surprised everyone.
"That's because she went to the imperial tomb and guarded the gate of the tomb."
