Chapter 362: The One Who Seeks to Die
At the same time, somewhere in the underworld.
A man stood on the top of the mountain, looking into the distance, and the crow stood on his shoulder, the crow tilted its head, and its red eyes looked in the same direction as the man.
"Another living person has broken in."
After a while, the man sighed, "Is the living over there your companion?" ”
"Sort of."
The crow made a female voice, "However, it is the 'living' you mentioned earlier that interests me more, and I wonder why she came to such a place?" ”
"Ugh."
The man sighed and shook his head, "I knew that sooner or later, trouble would come to my door." ”
"As long as you answer my question, the trouble of the living will naturally not involve the dead."
"If you have to insist...... That woman came to beg for death. ”
“…… Death? ”
"She stayed in the necromancer's lair, and let all kinds of necrons eat her alive, but no matter how many times she was eaten, she came back to life again and again, and the whole process lasted for a few weeks, and then she seemed to feel a little bored, and left the necromancer's lair, which is still off-limits to this day."
"Is it because all the dead have been wiped out there?"
"No, all the undead who swallowed her have gained unimaginable power, and even the occasional one that runs out is enough for us to have a headache for a long time."
The black box looked at the man with a bitter face, and felt funny in his heart, if ordinary people saw him like this, I am afraid that he would be mistaken for a working person who was in a mid-life crisis and was tormented by trivial matters.
"But you're the ruler of the land, aren't you?"
"It's just a name."
The man shook his head repeatedly.
"And what about later? Since you even came here to ask her to die, you must have met her, right? ”
"I'm afraid it starts with some secular legends, and in some areas, some of us are called the Grim Reaper, which may have something to do with the fact that those people always cut off the lives of others after they left, alas? I've warned them not to get into trouble when they're out and about. ”
The living and the dead have nothing to do with each other? Each has its own rules of survival, but there are always some necromancers who have broken the rules here? It also breaks the world's perception of the world of the dead.
"I don't know where she heard these legends? I came to the door. ”
"So, you helped her?"
"I wanted to refuse? But she was too sincere. ”
The man was full of helplessness, "It's a pity that not only failed to help her in the end?" As a result, an incredible monster was created. ”
"You mean the mask?"
"Any creatures I've ever seen? They are all made of soul and body, both of which are indispensable, and the so-called ability to cut off life is actually to separate the soul from the body of living beings? Once the soul is stripped of the body? You will fall into a state of extreme vulnerability, and theoretically speaking, in that state, there is no such thing as immortality in the true sense of the word. ”
"But you failed?"
"Actually, I don't know what exactly I'm stripped of. But one thing I'm sure of is that the woman is definitely not a creature? It seems that the concept of soul and body does not exist for her? And I only later learned that what was stripped out was parasitic on a certain object? At the same time, many traits belonging to necromancy have been bred. ”
In the world of necromancy? The vast majority of necromancers become stronger by devouring other necromancers? And the things that parasitize on the mask seem to have inherited similar characteristics.
"After learning the news, I asked a friend to help me try to destroy the mask, but unexpectedly, he ended up leaving our world with the mask."
"Why did you try to destroy the mask when you thought it inherited her properties?"
"Because I kind of figured it out later."
"Don't sell it."
"What I have stripped of is neither a soul nor a part of the body, but a pure energy body, and I am ashamed to say it, after the failure of the ritual, I have spent a long time researching it, and the only conclusion I can come to is that the woman is not a living being, but a collection of some kind of energy body...... And your existence is somewhat similar to her, so I guess you should be her clansman, right? ”
"So you think that some of the energy that has been stripped away can be consumed."
The black box was not going to answer the other party's question, she thought the theory proposed by the ruler of the afterlife was somewhat interesting.
It is no longer the unattainable concept of "God", but it is described as an energy body.
"In that case, that means that as long as all the energy is consumed, the 'woe' will die?"
"Theoretically, yes, but the speed at which she gathers energy is far greater than the rate at which it is consumed, and even the thousandth of the energy that has been stripped off has remained for centuries, the only difference is that the mask can only replenish its own energy by devouring other souls."
- "So, if there's a way to drain all of its energy at once, regeneration will stop. ”
"Thank you for your doubts, then, it's time for me to leave, and I'll see you later."
With that, the crow spread its wings and flew towards the scarlet full moon.
…………………………
The other side.
The battle has entered the white-hot stage, and every collision between the two sides is accompanied by the collapse and disintegration of space, and the surrounding scene is constantly changing, sometimes it is the wasteland outside the castle, and sometimes it switches back to the land of bones in the necromantic world.
And after "death" again and again, Dracula feels that his physical body has finally metamorphosed to the most perfect point, but the evolution he has experienced is not only that.
More important than bodily function is the comprehension of skills.
Although he had previously cracked the pages of the Grimome on life and matter, he had never had the opportunity to use them in actual combat, and now he felt as if he had gained a new understanding of the knowledge of the Grimoire.
He gradually groped for ......
Maybe it's the knowledge and energy from the gods, which are inexhaustible!
"Thank you for allowing me to complete the final evolutionary ......"
Reverse Life Spell!
Beyond the spell of the fragments, this battle gives Dracula a glimpse into the essence of the chapter of life.
When Gu Yun looked at Dracula again, he was greeted by a hideous ghost face.
A pitch-black cloak, and a sharp scythe.
"As a token of gratitude, I'm going to cut off your soul with my own hands!"
The echo in my ears is like coming from hell.
When he hesitated, the god of death had already floated up, and the blade of the scythe pointed directly at Gu Yun.
This long-lost blood boiling......
Gu Yun opened his hand, and a dark circle of light was held in the palm of his hand.
"In that case, I'm going to use a trick too."
"Boom ——!"
