Chapter 424: Blood Curse and the Man Who Died
This is the power of the strongest red spell master, destroying four obsidian-level creatures in an instant with just one spell, Arakida's power is more powerful than the obsidian martial arts, but it seems that the cost is also more serious than the release of the martial arts.
"Uh......" Arakida supported his body with his sword, and the whole person was lying on his stomach, slowly kneeling on the ground.
In the conversation that followed, Mu Fengye learned that when the real wood attacked last night, she used a spell that consumed more energy, which caused her energy to be overdrawn when she killed the obsidian level today, even if she was a red spell master of her level, she released two powerful spells in a short period of time, and the damage to her body was naturally not small.
"Miss Arakida, how are you feeling now?" After resting for about five minutes, Mu Feng tried to pick up Arakida at night.
"Have you run out of blood curses......" Arakida's whole body trembled, and he looked very bad.
"Sure enough, it's genes or something, Miss Shinhime, you're not an orthodox red spell master, are you?" Sakurama finally confirmed his previous thoughts, a real red spell master draws his power from blood, but Arakida Shinhime relies on something called a "blood curse" to maintain her power.
"I'm sorry I had to interrupt your mission. Arakida barely stood up, she didn't dare to answer Sakurama's question.
"Mu Feng, she can't go far like this, send her back to Zhihu Lake. ”
"Oh, got it. ”
An hour later, the three of them went from Sojuro to the entrance to the underground of Lake Shikotsu.
"Why do you have Yaxing here...... Oriyama happened to be standing not far away looking at the lake, and when he saw Sakuruma and Mu Fengye coming here, he was going to come forward to ask them about the purpose of coming here, but when he saw Arakida lying on Mu Fengye's body, he hurriedly walked to her side.
"The blood spell runs out so quickly, come down with me. Oriyama's expression was very serious, and he immediately opened the entrance.
"Miss Oriyama, what's wrong with her?"
"Don't talk nonsense, she'll die any later. ”
A few people descended to the Red Spell Master's base below Lake Shikotsu, which was as calm as ever, and since there were few people who knew about their existence, their work was not very busy, and they had nothing to do almost every day.
"Where's the Professor?" Oriyama asked, grabbing a young Red Spell Master.
"In the α building, say there is an experiment to ......"
Before the Red Spellmaster could finish his sentence, Oriyama led them briskly towards a building on the right.
Take the elevator to the top floor, which is a laboratory-like floor, surrounded by clear glass, and at a glance you can see the figure in the room at the end, the man in a white lab coat, with his back to them, I don't know what experiment is being carried out.
"Professor, put down your experiments, Shinhime's blood curse is gone, hurry up and inject her. ”
The professor turned his head slowly, he was a flower-haired old man in his sixties, with many scars on his face, but his body seemed to be unexpectedly strong, much stronger than most young people.
"Bring her in. The professor walked into the opposite room, where there was a large humanoid device, surrounded by transparent tubes that connected to another room, and it was unknown what was inside.
The professor laid Arakida on the instrument, and steel needles pierced her whole body in all directions, and she seemed to be desperately enduring the pain, her body began to tremble, and her eyes were closed.
A red liquid gushed out of the connecting tube and slowly flowed into Arakida's body, and the liquid was not pure red, but an unnatural red with some green.
Just when everyone's eyes were on the painful Arakida, Sakuruma suddenly saw the three letters "AKC" on the professor's chest, and she immediately tried to spell various words quickly in her mind, although there were many possibilities, but she ruled them out one by one.
A few minutes later, the blood curse was nearing its end, Arakida's whole body was soaked with sweat, and the scary long needles pulled out of her body and returned to their place, and the liquid in the tube flowed back to the sealed room.
Seeing the end of the injection, the expression on Oriyama's face also relaxed a lot.
Arakida did not immediately get off the instrument, but fell asleep under the thin quilt covered by the professor.
"She needs to take a break for a while, it looks like her contract with you is going to be suspended for a while, and if anything happens along the way, we'll take care of it according to the situation. Oriyama looked at Araki Field, who was sleeping, and walked to the side and sat down.
"Miss Arakida, is she okay?" Mu Fengye asked, looking at Arakida behind the glass.
"After being injected with the Blood Spell, the blood in her body will regain her bodily functions, and every Red Spell Master will come here to receive the injection after the Blood Spell runs out, on the contrary, if she does not inject her, she will die. ”
The professor closed the door to Arakida's room and was about to go back to continue his experiment, but was stopped by Sakurama.
"Professor Wise. ”
The moment he heard the name, the professor was stunned and stopped suddenly.
"Akechi, do you know him?" Oriyama looked at Sakuruma in surprise, "No one here knows the professor's name, and he never mentions it himself. ”
"AKC, short for akechi, wise, is his last name. That dress is still worn with many stitches and a lot of stitches, Professor Wise, this dress was given to you by Miss Sakisa, right?"
The air seemed to freeze, and the professor slowly turned his head, and after about half a minute, he answered, "Sakisa, I haven't heard a name in years......
"Miss Sakisa said you were dead. ”
"She's right, I'm dead, but I'm still alive, and it's not me who is dead, it's the House of Wisdom. ”
"She'd be glad she knew you're alive, but she'll never know the truth. ”
Sakuruma didn't finish his sentence, and it didn't look like Professor Akechi knew about Saki Saki and Hades' participation in the game.
"Really...... How is she ......?"
"In the last survival game, Miss Saki Saki died trying to protect someone important, and so did Mr. Ji. ”
The wise spirit obviously couldn't stand such stimulation, and he sat down in a chair and slowly removed his glasses.
"It seems that you have a lot to say, I won't bother you, and I'll ask the professor about the rest of the matter. Oriyama took one last look at Araki Field, and then slowly left.
"Professor Akechi, Shinhime, and everyone else here aren't orthodox Red Spell Masters, are they?" Sakurama asked.
Zhizhi nodded and told the truth of the year: "About ten years ago, I was about to go to Kyoto to give a lecture on botany, and the local university helped me charter a flight, and the time was short, and there were only me and Saki Sasa and two pilots on the plane. ”
"While passing through an ocean area, the plane crashed and crashed, and I used my last strength to get her to the shore of a nearby island. But I also lost consciousness at that time, drifting away with the waves and the wreckage of the plane. I don't know how long it took for me to wake up on a deserted island, the southern hemisphere, and I should have been dead a long time ago. ”
"I lived on the island for two days, but I accidentally discovered the ruins of the island. ”
"The remnants of the Red Spellmaster?"
"Yes, they conquered it hundreds of years ago and built a dynasty here, but for some reason they left the island and went to India. I found in the ruins a stone tablet that recorded the power of the Red Spellmaster, a magical supernatural ability that only the Red Magician bloodline could truly harness. ”
"I studied the power of the Red Magicians on the island, and I found that it is not only their blood that can give the Red Magicians the ability to imitate their blood, even ordinary humans can have this powerful power. ”
"If I'm not mistaken, the blood curse is based on the plant blood you created, right?" Sakuruma once heard Sakuruma mention of Professor Wise's creation, which is a type of blood extracted from plants that can be processed to replace human blood.
Professor Akechi looked at Sakuruma incredulously, and from the look in her eyes, it was as if he could see Saki Sasa from the past.
"Plant blood was originally an experimental type of blood that I used in medicine, it has not really been completed, although the structure is the same as human red blood cells, but at the same time it has a violent toxicity, if people inject this blood, within two hours will definitely die. ”
"But it fits perfectly with the Red Spellmaster blood I made on the island, and I tried to inject it into my body, and at first my body resisted, but after ten minutes, my body changed dramatically. The original scars were repaired by the blood, and the sense of aging gradually faded, and I was gradually able to control the blood and use the spells of the Red Spellmaster according to the stone tablets left behind by them. ”
"I'm not the first to discover the secrets of the Red Speller, though, but I'm the first to be able to turn an ordinary human into a Red Spellmaster. There are believers in Red Spell Masters all over the world, they are ordinary people, and I have formulated plant blood according to their wishes, turning them into Red Spell Masters with great power. It was only then that I realized that the Blood Spell did not grant them permanent powers, but only gave them the opportunity to use the Red Spellmaster's abilities, and once the opportunity was exhausted, the Blood Charm would disappear and they would have to be re-injected before they could continue to use it. ”
"But why don't you inject it in time after the blood curse disappears, and people will die?" Mu Fengye asked.
"The Blood Curse has been in the depths of their bodies for a long time, and the blood that has disappeared is no longer the blood that flows from humans, but the blood that has been improved by the Blood Curse and is filled with power, as I said earlier, that blood is highly poisonous, and the solution to them is to use the power of the Blood Curse and the Red Spellmaster. Therefore, within two hours after the blood curse disappears, a new blood curse must be injected immediately, otherwise the poisonous blood will attack and cause death. ”
It is true that the origins of the Red Magician Organizations predate the Dragonbones, but they only gained their power ten years ago, and they are not chosen by the power, but fanatics who are eager to risk their lives with power.
