Chapter 194: Black Swan 4
Unlike Elbert's worries about Charlotte and Claire, Malthus, who escaped from the mountain cave, showed an incredulous look of horror after seeing the natural disaster dissipate.
The original smug smile on his face had not disappeared, but the next moment it became extremely shocked, so that his facial muscles were in a state of twitching, and only the word horror could describe his expression at the moment.
Before escaping the crumbling underground cavern, Malthus saw Gloria fall into the lake of blood. According to his calculations, Gloria, who was transformed into an undead, would be desperate to drag Charlotte and Claire into the water out of her unwillingness and rage.
Extrapolating along this line, the three of their opponents, all transformed into lichs, will definitely be full of resentment, they will kill each other, and maybe hunt him down, Malthus, but there is no reason to save the ant-like civilians.
- Now that I'm an undead, don't think about it!
Isn't this the way of thinking of normal people? But why?! Why would Gloria personally remove the undead scourge with her own hands?!
Even Charlotte and Claire wouldn't have shocked Malthus so much, but Gloria did......
"What the hell are you thinking? Gloria !!"
Malthus realized that things were out of his control, and he wanted to go back to the cave to get a glimpse of it, but reason told him that he was undoubtedly looking for death if he went back now.
Whatever happened in the cave, one thing is for sure: from this day forward, Malthus will definitely be the mortal enemy of those present who want to get rid of it as soon as possible.
His face was cloudy, and his emotions such as hideous, incomprehensible, resolute, and depressed changed rapidly. In the end, he gritted his teeth after all, restrained the impulse in his heart and turned away.
In the cave, with the collapse of the undead natural disaster, Charlotte and Claire gradually let their guard down.
With Gloria's spell, the entire cavern's environment is changing at an alarming rate. The water of the lake was no longer as scarlet as thick as blood, and the sweet scent of scarlet in the air had gradually become corrupt and unpleasant. As time passed, the water gradually turned into its original appearance, although it was no longer as clear as it was at the beginning, but at least the magical blood and negative energy contained in it were rapidly escaping.
The threat of the Scourge has been lifted, and Charlotte and Claire, who have achieved their goal, have no idea of continuing their battle with Gloria. They were about to say goodbye to Gloria, who was nearing the end of the spell, but they frowned at the same time.
Willet, on the other side, sensed something was wrong, and she yelled 'don't!' and lunged at Gloria, but an invisible barrier held her back. Villerette threw out her Hidden Blade to break the barrier when she heard Gloria shouting.
"Don't come here! ”
Gloria's body began to emit black-green smoke, and the black-black holiness spewed out pure fiery positive energy, which was under her own control. This was obviously not a spell casting accident, and Gloria did not do any protection at all, allowing the positive energy and the negative energy that supported her activities to be annihilated by contact with the soul fire.
Soon, her body was burning in flames.
"Villette, remember what I said to you. I'd rather like Claire to win than Malthus. ”
"Don't! Gloria, listen to me! It's not a big deal, I'm one of the undead creatures, aren't I? If you're worried about beauty, we can find fresh flesh and blood together to keep you ......."
"That's enough! What's the point of a false life? Besides, I'll never be able to accomplish the root, are you going to watch Claire or Malthus or anyone else lift up the throne and bow down to him? I can't! I'd rather die of pride than to maintain this false life in humiliation! So, if you really love me, leave it at that. ”
Violet collapsed to the ground in grief, tears of blood streaming down her cheeks, and she stared blankly at the woman burning in the flames of the void with a hazy vision.
"I'm sorry, Willett. In the end, I can't respond to your feelings. ”
Gloria's words made Charlotte understand something, but he didn't have the slightest desire to complain, but looked at the woman burning in the void flame in front of him with a heavy expression.
"Charlotte, Claire, I want you to promise me not to hurt Villeret, I don't want to say any threats or requests, if it were the two of you, you should maintain that necessary pride, right?"
Charlotte and Claire nodded in unison.
"Very well, the last thing I want to say is - Charlotte, Claire, I, Gloria, will not admit to losing to you!"
"Of course!" Charlotte nodded without hesitation, "Actually, I think I lost to you." ”
"I don't recognize such a victory, it's just a draw. Gloria proudly rejected Charlotte's claim, she looked around at the three of them, and said in a strange tone, "I didn't expect that in the end, in addition to Villeret, there were two mortal enemies." ”
With that, she no longer looked at the three, but looked up at the dome.
No, she wasn't looking at the dome, and Charlotte felt as if her gaze had pierced through the thick layer of earth and looked into some void.
She uttered the last words of her life in an ethereal tone.
She asked, "Mom, am I proud now?"
Then, her body dissipated in the void flame, and the soul fire exploded into countless dark blue particles. The shattered soul fire carried everything about her, including knowledge, including memory. Gloria burned her soul and unreservedly showed everything she had learned in her life and everything she had learned in front of the three people present at the last moment.
Charlotte lightly touched those soul particles, and soon, Gloria's knowledge of various spells of necromancy and spells was displayed in Charlotte's mind one by one. They are images that come to life, and a huge amount of information is tumbling in Charlotte's mind.
Charlotte didn't know what Claire and Willett were doing, but he immediately used memory processing to expand the huge amount of information in his brain before the soul particles completely dissipated, so that he could study further in the future.
This made Charlotte admire Gloria even more!
Maybe she didn't want her life's learning to dissipate, but no matter what kind of mentality, it was a great thing to open up her soul memory in such an unreserved way, and show her use of spells and the results of her research in front of her former mortal enemy!
That open-minded and proud spirit, the kind of spirit that Charlotte could not do anyway, made the equally proud Charlotte full of respect for this enemy!
In fact, her memories didn't have much of an impact on her friend Villeret. Instead, Charlotte and Claire can deepen their understanding of necromancy and spells, and those experiences and research results are precious treasures that even the most black and holy treasures cannot replace for the two mages.
Charlotte carefully processed the information, cutting out the unnecessary and leaving only the experiences and results that were useful to her. However, as he progressed, he suddenly saw a strange memory.
He touched it with curiosity, and soon, the soul particle was like a sophisticated time machine, bringing the three people present back to the past......
