Traveler of the River of Time and Space-Chapter 435 - 43: Eldritch, Devourer of Gods (Part 1)

This ashen ember left decisively.

Completely different from the Sun Knight encountered earlier, making Su Ziyu feel a bit more dangerous.

Only three people were left in the tall tower, and Su Ziyu curiously studied the girl before him, You'Er Xia, while gently jumping down from the rooftop.

"Are you really the daughter of the Sun King - Gwyn?" Su Ziyu tilted his head, a little puzzled, and asked.

Upon hearing his words, the half-dragon girl named You'Er Xia furrowed her delicate brows and said slowly, "There's no doubt about it."

Su Ziyu looked her up and down, his gaze falling on the dragon tail behind her, his eyes emitting a faint glow, and frowned, "But you seem so weak!..."

You'Er Xia was speechless: "..."

Sun King - Gwyn.

According to legend, the most powerful of all Lords of Cinder in this world, said to possess more power than all other Lord Souls combined, his body burned in the First Flame for thousands of years after he distributed the sun's divine power.

Such a powerful existence, yet the daughter born to him shouldn't be so weak.

The You'Er Xia before him seemed to be about the level of a high-tier professional, seemingly not having entered the Legendary Domain yet. If he hadn't arrived in time, she might have died at the hands of that ashen ember.

Are all the children of the Sun King - Gwyn this weak?

For a moment, You'Er Xia was a bit exasperated. She glared at Su Ziyu and then calmly said, "The First Flame has dimmed, and the power of the Divine Race is also waning."

"No wonder you were imprisoned here by Shalivan." Su Ziyu nodded thoughtfully.

You'Er Xia bit her lip, feeling that this person was indeed somewhat annoying.

In any case, this You'Er Xia was at least a normal living person. As far as Su Ziyu was concerned, as long as they were a normal living person, they were a valuable target. Because one of the main tasks in this world was to perpetuate the flame of life, having even one normal living person offered a little hope. If it were all undead, that would be the end.

"Do you want to come with us?"

"Or do you intend to continue staying here?" Su Ziyu glanced around at the solitary tall tower with no way out.

This half-dragon girl had probably been imprisoned for a long time.

Hearing Su Ziyu's words, a glimmer of light appeared in You'Er Xia's eyes, but then she sadly lowered her head and said, "There's a barrier placed by Shalivan here."

"I can't leave the Tower of Captives."

A barrier?

Su Ziyu closed his eyes to sense it. Then he opened them and said, "It's not very complicated."

"If you want to leave, I can take you."

Not far away, You'Er Xia widened her eyes at his words, her voice quivering slightly as she asked, "Really?"

"Of course, it's true." Su Ziyu nodded, exchanging glances with the nun Fried before saying, "But I also have some questions for you."

You'Er Xia immediately said, "Ask away."

Now needing his help, the half-dragon girl had completely dropped her initial slightly pretentious noble demeanor. She looked no different from a regular girl, except for the tail at the back.

"Why were you imprisoned here?" Su Ziyu asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, You'Er Xia's expression dimmed slightly. Then she softly said, "Shalivan betrayed us."

"He secretly controlled members of the Dark Moon Knight Order."

"Taking advantage of our weakness, he staged a coup, seized Yanorlund, and imprisoned my royal brother and me separately."

Royal brother?

Must be referring to Shadow Sun - Gwendolin, right?

Wait.

Could it be that she still doesn't know that Shalivan had already given up Shadow Sun - Gwendolin to Saint Eldritch to devour?

Su Ziyu tentatively asked, "Is your royal brother Gwendolin?"

"Where is he being held?"

This Shadow Sun had for a long time appeared in a female guise, but later people learned that he was male, having been raised as a daughter from a young age, a false maiden.

"My brother is imprisoned within the King's city." You'Er Xia looked at Su Ziyu with a hint of hope, bowed, and pleaded, "Oh mighty Lord of Cinder!..."

"You must be a hero of humanity."

"Since you can save me, could you please rescue my royal brother?"

"Gwyn's descendants will never forget your kindness!"

There's no doubt about it.

This half-dragon girl had been imprisoned for so long that she was completely unaware of the changes outside.

Her royal brother had long been given up by Shalivan to be consumed, and many of the Divine Race's offspring had been transformed by Shalivan's magic into Beastial Knights, such as Bordeaux of the Cold Valley and some monsters encountered earlier. Judging by the timeline, the coup by High Priest Shalivan should have happened earlier, even before the bell rang at the Fire Transmission Ritual Site.

At that time, he had already successfully staged his coup and imprisoned both of the Sun King - Gwyn's children.

Then the bell of the Fire Transmission Ritual Site rang.

The Lord of Cinder, once burned, was awakened, and then somehow, High Priest Shalivan got involved with Saint Eldritch, even offering up Shadow Sun - Gwendolin to be directly eaten by the latter.

This was likely some sort of collaboration between High Priest Shalivan and the Abyssal Church.

Unfortunately, before High Priest Shalivan could succeed in his plan, he had already been burned by the Fire of Sin into a hollow shell.
