The Beginning of Troubled Times Chapter 20: The End of the Holy See (11)
Thanks to Jean's double break between Holy Light Magic and Life Magic, the power of Holy Light Magic is still very strong in suppressing the Hellfire, otherwise Jean will be consumed by the "Hellfire" the moment he is contaminated with the "Hellfire". But now the "hellfire" on Jean's body only affects the speed at which his wounds heal. Originally, relying on the powerful vitality brought by the life magic, such a wound should be healed soon. Now, due to the influence of "Hellfire", Jean's wound recovery is very slow, because when a large amount of life force spurts into the wound, it becomes the fuel of "Hellfire", and only a small part of it is used to heal the wound. Therefore, although the magical power in Jean's body passed very quickly at this time, the speed of wound healing was very slow.
To make matters worse, after the beginning of Satsuma, Jean was slapped by six "Knights of Damnation" with knightly swords like a ping-pong ball in mid-air. There are more and more wounds on Jean's body, and there are more and more "hellfires" that are wrapped around his body. The blood spilled from the wound had already spawned a grassland on the ground. After enduring countless slashes from the "Knight of Damnation", even Jean, a life mage with incomparably vigorous vitality, began to blur his consciousness. "I am your faithful servant, Jean, my faithful servant, and I have done my best to protect the Holy See. But I still failed. Jean thought to himself. "Now I'm going back to your arms. Please accept me!"
"It's just a pity that our life magic may be lost. As soon as Jean thought of this, the life magic power in his body suddenly boiled. "No, I can't let the magic of life go away. Then, Jean's consciousness came to his senses. The life force in the body continued to pour out as if it had been replenished, and the "hellfire" that was wrapped around Jean's body was extinguished at once, and those shocking wounds were also healed in an instant, and the body that was constantly being slapped in the air was also like stepping on the brakes, suddenly stopped, and then floated quietly in the air. But Jean's originally ruddy and plump body was slowly withering.
The six paladins who were originally chasing Jean stopped their pursuit after discovering Jean's changes. Six people surround Jean, you look at me, I look at you. They didn't understand what was going on, and finally they all looked at Satsuma, and after Satsuma made a pause gesture, he also looked at Jean in the encirclement with a confused expression. At this point, Jean, who was badly injured, was no longer able to pose any threat to the Knights of Damnation, as he could no longer sustain even the two magics of "Elf Descent" and "Angel Arrow Dance" shortly after Jean was chased like a ping-pong ball. Now Jean is like meat on a chopping block, at their mercy. However, what Satsuma can't understand now is how Jean, who was already dying, suddenly burst out with such a strong magical power. If the sudden outburst was to fight them desperately, then why was his body withering? As the nemesis of the "Knights of Damnation", the life mage, supported by that terrifying vitality, is ruddy and full even after death. But at this time, Jean's body withered at a rate visible to the naked eye, and the rate of withering was getting faster and faster.
Jean's body withered faster and faster, soon becoming mummy, and Jean's body continued to shrink. But on the contrary, his vitality is getting stronger and stronger. At this moment, Jean's shriveled eyes, which were only a layer of skin, opened, and the eyeballs inside had withered away, and in their place, a cloud of holy light took over the original eyeballs. "It's not good, run away. This is the 'Elemental Body Soul Extinguishment'. After saying that, Satsuma flashed out, but the other five "Knights of Damnation" were too late to hear Satsuma's warning. Vidal and Boyd reacted quickly and immediately launched the "Ghost Steps", but as soon as they flashed halfway, they felt a powerful life magic force like a big hand, grabbing them tightly, and then this force forcibly pulled them out of the flash passage. And the rest of Tiger, Odell, and Wilfrido didn't react at all, and they were also pinched by a big hand composed of life magic power, and their whole bodies could no longer move, and the power of their whole bodies could not be used, and even the "hellfire" on the "nightmare beast" sitting down was getting smaller and smaller. The magic that Jean is using now is the last ultimate of the life mage and the forbidden technique "Meta Body Soul Annihilation", and since this magic was created, he has only used it once. There will never be more than five people in the world who know about this magic, because the people who have seen this magic have already died when the "Primal Body Soul Annihilation" was used for the first time. Satsuma was able to recognize this magic only from the previous "Knight of Damnation" patriarch who had heard some legends, and then guessed based on Jean's current state. "Elemental Body Soul Annihilation" is to ask the life mage to awaken all the life force in the body with a powerful obsession before dying, and then burn these life forces and the life mage's body in exchange for absolute power magic. Life mages can only perform "metaphysical annihilation" in the moments before they die, and the end of magic is also the end of life mages, and in the end, there will be no souls and corpses left.
Jean's body continued to shrink and become more and more shriveled, and even cracks began to appear on his already dry skin, and now Jean's body had shrunk to the size of a child of three or four years old. "Satsuma, where to escape?" said Jean, opening his mouth with difficulty, and shouted at Satsuma. At this time, Satsuma had just completed the first flash of the "ghost step", appearing in the sky above a residential house five hundred meters away, Satsuma could flash farther, but first, it had just gone through a big battle, and secondly, when he found out that Jean was too frightened when he used the ultimate move "Yuan Body Spirit Destroyer", he did not seriously choose the flash route in a panic, and after hearing Jean's voice, Satsuma didn't have time to look back, and immediately wanted to flash for the second time. However, when he wanted to activate his natural ability, he found that the strength of his whole body could not be mobilized, as if a huge palm was holding him in his hand, and the "nightmare beast" sitting down also felt a great sense of unease, and was constantly screaming and struggling. It also wanted to break free from the force that was unsettling it. But as it struggled, the force grew. In the end, there was no room for him to struggle. "Did you just die here this time? Satsuma thought desperately.
Just as Satsuma began to despair, Jean's body had shrunk to the size of a baby, and cracks were already as thick as the palm of an adult's hand. But at this time, his vitality was at its peak. The magic giant hand holding the five "Knights of Damnation" was tightly clenched, and there was no scream or blood spilled, and the five "Knights of Damnation" and their mount, the "Nightmare Beast", were wiped out under this tremendous power. At this time, Satsuma in the distance also felt the huge force, pinching his whole body bones were about to fall apart. As an undead creature, although I didn't feel pain, the feeling of my bones falling apart and my internal organs displacing also made me very uncomfortable. And his mount "Nightmare Beast" was also dying at this time, and the "Hellfire" that was originally burning brightly flickered. "It seems that there is really no escape this time!" Satsuma closed his eyes and quietly waited for death to come, although Satsuma had already died once, but this feeling of waiting for death still made him feel fear.
After pinching and exploding the five "Knights of Damnation", Jean's body also began to fall off one by one with the cracks, and pieces of fragments fell from mid-air, and these fragments began to transform into starlight in the sky in the process of falling, and when these starlights were sprinkled on the grassland on the ground, those green grasses and delicate flowers became more dazzling. In the end, Jean's body was left with only a crystal clear bead, floating in mid-air. Moments later, the bead fell from the sky and hid in the grass. When the bead fell from mid-air, the mysterious power that had bound Satsuma disappeared.
The imaginary death did not come, and Satsuma fell from mid-air on the roof of a private house. Satsuma touched his face in disbelief, and after making sure once again that he was not dead, an unconcealable excitement overflowed his face. Now he no longer has any extra strength in his body, he tilted his head to the side and looked at the "Nightmare Beast" lying next to him and said, "Old friend, we have escaped death this time." I'm glad you're sorry. After saying that, he tried to raise his hand and touch the head of the "Nightmare Beast", but he couldn't raise his hand after several attempts. At this time, the "Nightmare Beast" raised its head, stuck out its tongue and licked Satsuma's hand, telling Satsuma that he was fine, but it was too expensive. After receiving a response from the Nightmare Beast, Satsuma lay on the roof and laughed to the sky. It's the excitement of the aftermath of the apocalypse.
