Chapter 26: Demonization
His deep gaze was hidden in the curling smoke, and the crimson light of the sky climbed up the erect spine of the young man, who reached out and stroked his broken hair, throwing the crystal drops of water back into the pool.
A pale flame burned quietly on his body, but the young man felt no pain, and he looked at the reflection under the surface of the water with a look of disbelief.
Reflected beneath the surface of the water was Adams's cheeks, a familiar face and pale blonde hair, but the two small black horns raised from his forehead showed that he was no longer the same person he once was.
Adams's figure is still thin, but under the seemingly thin body there is a huge power hidden in the past, several eye-catching blood-colored magic patterns on the body exude a strange beauty, and the exoskeleton protruding from the finger joints and nails is extremely sharp, as if as long as he swipes lightly, even the toughest steel can be easily cut by him.
According to the classic image of the demon in novels and film and television works, in addition to the lack of wings and a tail, his dress is actually quite stylish, Adams looked at himself with a wry smile, and felt really a headache.
A sharp sound like two pieces of iron scraping against each other sounded on the side.
"Luckily, it seems that you are still conscious, even if the essence blood in the transformation pool only contains a small amount of chaos elements, it is not common to be able to resist erosion with such a low strength. ”
Examining Adams' new shell, the worm-like demon chuckled.
"Interesting, newborn demon, let me see your real name. ”
Stretching out its three sharp claws, the old demon grabbed a thick, dark book from the void and slowly crawled to the edge of the altar's pool with three pairs of legs.
"O mighty river of brimstone, your people pray for your revelation, for peeling back the laws of the gods, for revealing the truth of things"
The river of brimstone above the heavenly dome was raging as usual, but the pool that had been calm resounded with the same disturbing wail, and the dark book cover shone with a blood-colored shimmer, and the pages turned automatically without wind, and finally stopped at the last blank page.
"It can't be, how can this be. ”
The old demon stopped rolling its compound eyes, and stared at the page for a long time, as if it had reverted back to the dull and silent stone statue in front of the altar.
After a while, it laughed maniacally again, "No, hahaha, there really isn't, except for the evil god from Chaos, there really is a funny guy with no real name, hahaha, gods, keep your eyes open and look at it, your bullshit laws are useless, woo woo." ”
The old demon slammed the book to the ground, laughing and crying, and once again it danced wildly to its own hands.
Feeling the abundant power coming from the hundreds of limbs, Adams looked at the mad worm in front of him in a little daze.
He didn't know why he hadn't lost his consciousness and become an existence that only knew destruction and killing, as the old demon had said, and he didn't know why he hadn't turned into a terrifying monster with a distorted appearance under the invasion of the Chaos Element, but what Adams could be sure of was that there were indeed some hidden changes in his body.
Adams sniffled, the faint smell of scorching blood wafted through the air, and the range of his vision more than doubled, he could clearly hear the sound of his heart pumping blood, and even felt the tyrannical factor that made people lose their minds in the hazy blood-colored mist around him.
With his hands outstretched, Adams felt the dead and thin magic of his surroundings, a wonderful world that he had never been able to perceive before.
It seems that in addition to the enhancement of his physical body, his five senses and magic adaptability should have also been greatly improved.
However, at this moment, his biggest concern and biggest problem was still in front of him, Adams did not master all the rituals required for blood refining, so he did not know how to leave this abandoned world.
From the previous bloodline inheritance, it can be understood that this world abandoned by the gods is a huge space with at least one-fifth the size of the main world, and killing that worm-like demon obviously can't help you break through the space barrier and return yourself to the main world, not to mention that the sharp intuition inherited from the demon's bloodline tells Adams that the danger of the other party is extremely high, and it is far from being something that he can easily challenge now.
But staying here for the rest of his life is not what Adams wants to see, his father who was separated in the kingdom of Batow is still waiting to be reunited with him, the pale wand that betrayed him has not yet been punished as he deserves, and there are still many things he wants to do......
I can't just be trapped here.
What's more, this space has been eroded by chaos and is already dilapidated, and the living conditions are even worse, most of the low-level demons lack consciousness and only know how to kill, and the middle and high-level demons are also unreasonable, as long as one is in a bad mood, a dispute is inevitable.
If you really stay here, I'm afraid that I will be more than lucky.
After a long hesitation, Adams decided to ask his "old-timer", and so far the other party had not shown too obvious malice, since the ugly insect demon could answer the pale wand's wishes, then it might know how to leave.
However, the old demon's answer made Adams's heart cool for a while, and he looked at the young demon and laughed wildly: "Hahaha, leave, the demons don't want to return to their former home all the time, if we can go out at will, how can we stay in this hopeless world, we have already gone out and pulled the gods down from their throne and torn them apart." ”
He cried out frantically:
"Fearing the power of Chaos, they abandoned us and turned us into sacrifices of Chaos, leaving us here to wait for the time of the end. ”
"They will not allow us to return to the earth with the shadow of Chaos, they will not allow their people to remember the fear of being ruled by Chaos, and they will not allow the world to know their selfishness and cowardice. ”
"Young demon, the gods will not allow us to go back, and we will live forever in this exiled land until the river of brimstone is shattered. ”
"Is there really nothing that can be done?" asked Adams, a little reluctantly.
"If it's you, it's not impossible, it's up to you to pay that price. ”
