With the remaining light on the treasure cane, Rod's soul quickly drifted to the spread of the tome.

Rhodes noticed that the tome had been placed in Will's arms, and that when Will's soul left his body, it slowly decayed over a long period of time with his body, leaving it unnoticed by anyone else.

Even though centuries had passed, and even Will's body had rotted away, the tome remained intact, the title page still glowing with gold and a sacred aura in it.

Able to survive countless years without being damaged and without any blurred traces of handwriting on the surface, this book naturally attracted Rhodes' attention.

Unable to get any help from other aspects, Rhodes put his attention on this book, which was the only thing that could help Rhodes in his current situation.

Thinking of this, Rhodes quickly stretched out his hand and tried to pick up the book and flip through its contents, but his hand passed directly over the book.

Rhodes, who is in a state of soul, can't touch anything at all, so naturally he can't hold this book, and his body will pass through anything.

Realizing this, Rhodes cursed secretly, and he had to use the dim glimmer to check the contents of this book little by little.

The wind that blew by chance turned the book for Rod. Often, before Rhodes finished reading it, he had to look at what he was looking at, and when there was no wind, Rhodes had to face the same page of the book for a long time.

With a sigh, Rod misses the time when he once had a body.

I don't know how long it took, but Rod also roughly understood what was recorded inside the classics.

This book is supposed to have been written by Will. It records his journey from a priest in a remote hamlet to a high priest in the city of Jericho, the capital of Erathia, and the reverence of the griffonheart.

In the classics, in addition to recording the difficulties and doubts encountered by Will, more importantly, there is also a secret method recorded on it, which is also the most attractive thing about Rod.

According to the records of the classics, this secret method is called [Secret Method of Introduction]. The priest can use this secret method to send the souls of dying creatures to Cloudsdale or Hell according to some kind of criterion.

In normal times, Rod would definitely not look down on this secret method, but now, this seems to be Rode's only way out.

Rhodes has not forgotten that the position he is in now is still a treasure house in the clouds managed by angels, and it is far from safe.

In addition, the soul state was unable to cast spatial magic, and Rhodes was trapped deep inside the treasure house, unable to find a way to get out, let alone return his soul to his body.

Just as Rhodes was looking at the contents of the book little by little, a heart-rending roar suddenly came from the top of his head.

A loud roar echoed through the space below the gold coin gully, echoing in Rhodes' ears over and over again. He could hear the roar belonging to Will, who was waiting above the ravine, and he didn't know what had happened to him.

After a little thought, Rhodes could realize that what was going on above, those angels had obviously discovered the anomaly in the treasure house, and Will, who was in the form of a vampire on the ravine, was undoubtedly the best purification target for those angels.

There was no time to hesitate, looking at the body that had fallen to the ground without any breath, and checking the system log, Rod's heart sank.

…………

"You've learned the skill [Secret Method]."

"[Secret Method]: A secret method developed by Stigmata and only for human souls. After use, depending on the soul's level of devotion, send it to Cloudsdale or Hell. ”

…………

In Rod's current attribute panel, all the values and skills that used to be are gone, and the only thing that lights up is only the [Secret Method], and this may be Rod's only choice.

Rather than stay in the Treasure House in the Clouds, waiting to be discovered by the angels, Rhodes prefers to give it a go, leaving his body here and letting the separated souls find a way to break the divine curse. Rod wasn't willing to let it all end like that.

Taking a deep breath, even though in his soul state, these movements could not have any effect on Rod, but he still retained his old habits.

Feeling the increasingly strong holy aura above his head, Rhodes no longer hesitated, put his hands on the forehead of his soul, and a burst of shining light bloomed in his palm, and he cast the secret method of connection.

The low, holy words echoed in Rod's ears.

"Rod, are you willing to surrender your heart to God and repent to Him with devotion?"

Rod was startled, looked around, except for his original body, and the fallen Will, there was no one else around at all, this sound had no source at all, but seemed to sound spontaneously in his soul.

"Who's pretending?" Rhodes in the state of the soul questioned.

"What a pity......" the deep voice came again.

Suddenly, as if he felt something, Rhodes looked towards the ground below.

At some point, countless pitch-black arms appeared there, and these arms were tightly wrapped around Rod's body, which also made Rod, who was in a state of soul, feel the actual touch for the first time, and he could touch those arms.

Looking at those arms, Rod didn't feel uneasy, what he felt was a breath that made him comfortable. The gray-black mist around the ravine, as if sensing the presence of an arm, swirled around Rhodes.

The pitch-black arm wrapped around Rhodes' body more and more, pulling him under the ground little by little.

When there were more and more pitch-black arms, from above these arms, Rod also felt an aura that was the same as the gray and black mist around him.

If the gray and black mist symbolizes greed, then the dark arms symbolize all sinful karma, which naturally also contains greed, and those dark arms are more advanced than the surrounding gray and black mist.

"Receiving the secret method......" silently reciting the name of this secret method, Rod seemed to realize something, and there was an unwilling look in his eyes.

Looking at the powerful body that was half-lying on the ground and once belonged to him, Rod's soul reached out to him, but it was immediately covered by the pitch-black arms around him.

As the secret method of connection progressed, Rod could not get rid of the limitations of those dark arms no matter what, and his consciousness became heavier and heavier. The arms wrapped more and more around his soul, and finally completely covered his vision, and Rhodes was plunged into extreme darkness.

Before his gaze faded, the last thing Rhodes looked at was still the powerful body that symbolized strength.

"Wait for me...... I will definitely be back. ”

In the boundless darkness, only Rod's deep words echoed.
