Chapter 148: Mirror Demon
It's not winter, and the spirits that can be gathered by the lantern can't kill people, at most kill insects and mosquitoes, which is not enough to make Renault feel "pressure". So he meditated all the time, patiently waiting for the lantern to continue to gather the energy of the spirit. Half an hour, an hour, and three hours passed, and Renault was almost unable to hold on to the meditation technique, and the spirit energy had gathered into a volume the size of a two-person tent, but the "pressure" still did not appear.
"There's still a big difference between an energy aggregate and a true geist. Geists can attack aggressively and directionally, while aggregates can only diverge evenly. Without focus, the power cannot be realized, and I should probably ask Master Kiprin for details. Renaud sighed and decided to stop meditating. Before that, though, he summoned the Soul Harvester Dagger and stabbed it towards the Spirit Energy Body.
The dagger glowed reddish, and a warm sensation entered his body from the palm of his hand. "It works!" Renault was happy for less than a second, and the circular magic circle in the center of the room lit up, and the lightning cross symbol shone brightly.
Then Renault's eyes lit up, and he found himself in the Hall of the Crystal Throne in Hell.
Dead?Die every ten chapters?How did you die?Could it be related to the goddess's transcendent magic circle?
The remaining power stored in the Hell Soul Crystal was enough to revive him, and Renault was not worried. Unlike the last time, this time Reynolds' body is in "retreat" between meditations, and no one will disturb him, so there is no rush to resurrection. And obviously, it is more important to figure out how you ended up in hell and how to prevent this problem from happening again.
After all, the stock in the soul crystal is only enough to resurrect once.
If you want to find the answer, it seems that you have to rely on the help of the sealed people and demons in the mirror. Renault stabilized his emotions and walked slowly towards the throne.
As soon as he took a step, Renault felt a difference. His soul body was more condensed than before, and his feet no longer disengaged when they came into contact with the hard ground, only slightly deformed. If it used to be smoke, now it's at least marshmallows. At the same time, his senses became sharper, not only did colors other than red, white, and black appear in his vision, but his ears also picked up two faint breathing sounds.
Looking in the direction of the sound, it turned out to be Renault Hale and the Fork in the Throne Back Sealing Mirror. The two guys were asleep with their heads sideways, their eyes closed, and their breathing sounds. Renault held out two fingers and placed them in front of the mirror. It was clear that they weren't really breathing, and the sound was matched.
"You two...... I, there's nothing to say......" Renault sat on the throne full of bladed edges, and then adjusted to a comfortable sitting position. Before he could call the demons in the mirror, they woke up on their own.
Devil: "How did you get here without dying?" Dead man: "How did he get so good in spirit?" Reynolds: "Why do you still sleep?"
The three guys spoke together, but everyone heard each other.
"I'm not dead?" "Boring!" "Just some kind of exercise." ”
It is impossible to talk well at the same time, so Renault waved his fist and made the two guys shut up: "Even if it is a landlord, there are no cards at the same time, you have to come one by one." Let's solve the problem of whether I'm dead or not!"
"You're not dead, you're definitely not dead. The Fork in the Road Demon said with great conviction, "It is a very obvious feature that the death of the skin causes the devil to return to hell, which darkens the gaze of the eyes, and it is clear that you do not behave like this. I thought you would have to come back here after a decade or so you had learned the ritual of opening the passage to hell and summoning demons! What did you do on it?"
Renault briefly described what had happened, and the Fork Demon showed great interest in the Icepeak Fortress's magic circle. "I've long heard that the western border of the Duchy of Norsland is fortified by the Church of the Goddess of Truth and Thunder, but I didn't expect anything so magical. It's not that I'm alone, it's that as a devil, I really don't dare to go to those fortresses. ”
"Why, are you afraid of death? Aren't you bound to this hellish territory, it's just a big deal to come back here after death, why don't you dare?"
The fork in the road demon shook his head: "The devil is also like other creatures in the world, he will die, of course, ordinary methods will not kill us. There are several ways to get rid of a devil. For example, murder in hell: the devil who dies here will assimilate with the hellish plane and cannot be resurrected - but the devil with territory will have more chances, and there will be a chance to be resurrected by losing territory and strength. The second is to grasp the true name of the devil, and then use powerful spells to directly attack the real name and destroy the fundamental core of the devil, so that even if you have a territory, you can't be resurrected. The third is to use opposing forces, such as the so-called good divine power, to attack directly. Oh, don't get me wrong, divine power is not magic, and ordinary human priests can only drive us away at best, not completely destroy them - at least they have to be medium angelic creatures. Finally, there is the Holy Land, the area of concern of the divine powers, which is to the devil what a fire field is to humans. ”
"Write it down, maybe I'll take the test later. Renault said to the man in the mirror.
"I don't remember, I can say it twice. The fork in the road demon smiled: "I think it is necessary for the three of us to be honest with each other if we want to cooperate stably for a long time." I know the four million ways to kill humans, the four thousand ways to destroy souls, and tell you the four ways to kill demons, which can be regarded as a gesture of goodwill, or at least a balance, right?"
Renaud nodded, and Renault in the mirror still had a wary look on his face - he had been tortured by the devil for so many years and would never be convinced.
"So, you've arrived at Icepeak Fortress and started training. What's life like there?"
Renault thought for a moment and replied, "The people here are good, and they will definitely be able to hold on." But if your health could be better, or at least at the level of a normal healthy person, I wouldn't be so tired. ”
"You can't blame me entirely, the fork in the road demon is the culprit of everything. ”
"No," the fork in the road demon shook his head, and immediately confronted Young Master Hall, "You are the root of everything. You don't want to be a knight, you want a life of easy debauchery, and you summoned me. ”
Seeing that the two guys were about to quarrel again, Renault slapped the throne: "Stop, there is no point in this! Fork in the road, if you have the energy, you might as well calculate how much the stock of soul crystals has grown! I killed a griffin and poked a geist with a dagger." ”
