"What did you do to Gray!"

Looking at the fallen Gregory, Corey screamed and rushed towards Angus, but Angus just waved his hand expressionlessly, and Corey was fixed in mid-air, and could only stare at Angus in vain.

"Don't worry, this kid is fine, instead of caring about him, you should care about yourself."

Angus shrugged helplessly, but the scar on his face cracked again, which immediately frightened Corey and didn't even listen to what he said.

"What a damn wound!"

Angus cursed, stopped talking to Ricory, and continued to apply the potion to the scar.

After more than ten minutes, Gregory finally woke up, but as soon as he looked up, he was stunned: "Corey, why are you ......?"

Gregory looked up at Corey who was fixed in mid-air, and was speechless for a while, but Corey showed a surprised expression: "Gray! You're finally ...... Huh? My voice ......"

Halfway through the sentence, Corey paused, and he realized that his voice was no longer as crisp as before, but hoarse and harsh like a broken bellows.

"What the hell is going on!" Looking at Corey in mid-air, Gregory suddenly turned his head to look at Angus, "What did you do to Corey!" ”

"To be exact, I'm just telling your partner to be quiet," Angus was still expressionless, but the green liquid that slipped down the scar made him look a little creepy, "Actually, you should know what happened to your partner." ”

"How can you ......?"

Gregory subconsciously retorted, but as soon as he was halfway through, he was stunned, he just thought about "why did Corey become like this" just a little, a lot of information came to his mind, and at the same time, there was a long-sealed memory that Gregory recalled again......

"Corey, I must be a knight in the future, protect you well, so that you will not be hurt again!"

"Well, Gray, from now on, I will be a mage and stand behind you to fight for you!"

The promises of my youth seemed to be whispering far away in the sky, but gradually, the voice became clearer and clearer, and the dark memories re-emerged into light.

Scarlet light.

Young Corey was lying on the ground, his face was a little painful, and blood was gradually spilling from his back, and young Gregory, with tears on his face, pressed hard against Corey's chest, where there was a hideous wound that was gushing blood incessantly.

Nearby, a wildebeest was violently swaying its hooves, and the sound of a clattering sound seemed to match the vows of the two teenagers with a drum beat.

Finally, Gregory remembered that it was four years ago, when they were teenagers, and he and Corey were playing a game of knighthood as usual, but when Gregory clumsily climbed onto the back of the wildebeest, the spurs on his shoes stung the wildebeest, which eventually led to an accident.

It turned out that on that day, Corey was already dead.

Gregory closed his eyes in pain, and Cory, who had been put back on the ground by Angus, finally saw his own image, and sat on the ground in a daze, unable to say a word.

He was still wearing his previous clothes, but his body had become shriveled and his clothes hung loosely over his shoulders, making the wide mage robe look like a shroud; His bare hands were covered with black and purple corpse spots, and his nails were black and long, disgusting and frightening.

And just when Gregory fell into the memory, Corey also remembered the dusty memory, and finally, he understood, and looked at Gregory stunned: "So, is this my mission?" ”

"No, it was just an accident." Angus shook his head slightly, "You can live until now, it's a complete accident, or rather, it's Gregory's obsession that has brought you back to life, but at a cost......"

Speaking of this, Angus stopped, he felt that the scars on his face were about to crack again, but Corey and Gregory who came back to their senses had already understood that the price of resurrecting Corey was part of Gregory's soul!

As a person chosen by the will of the world, Gregory's soul is far more powerful than the souls of ordinary people, and can even be comparable to the souls of some kings, at the same time, Gregory's soul also has a trace of the power of the origin of the world, and it is this power that makes Cory, who should have died four years ago, live as a "living person" for four years again.

It is precisely because of this that Gregory can still live without this part of his soul, but after that, Gregory began to become a little stupid - he is very slow to do things other than Corey, and his ability to comprehend complex things is even weaker to an outrageous degree, and even his usual lack of concentration and easy sleepiness are all caused by the lack of soul.

Fortunately, Gregory's fighting talent was not weakened by the lack of soul, but as if it was engraved in his flesh and blood, or even further, because he relied more on instinct in battle, but used this talent better.

Until today.

Just now, all of Corey's mind fell into Angus's vision, so that his soul was also affected and broke free from the shackles of his body, when Gregory called him, the part of the remnant soul belonging to Corey began to respond to Gregory, and separated from the part of Gregory's soul that was only entangled, and finally, when Corey broke free from the illusion, his soul and Gregory's part of the soul were also completely separated, perceiving the remnant soul of the body, and naturally chose to return to the body.

As a result, Corey, who lost the support of Gregory's soul, turned into a corpse again, but the mana he had accumulated over the years, as well as the vitality from the gift of the world's will, prevented him from dying completely, but became the same as he is now.

Of course, the three people present all understood that Corey's state could not last, and as Corey's strength gradually ran out, he would eventually die.

"Angus, you must have a way to resurrect him, right?"

Gregory looked at Angus hopefully, but Angus shook his head, even if the scars on his face cracked again, he didn't care, but showed a somewhat sarcastic smile: "Resurrect him? If it was a few years ago when he just died, I could have saved him at will, but now it's not that simple, the price of resurrecting a corpse is not something you can afford now. ”

"What price!"

Gregory asked, red-eyed.

The sarcasm on the corner of Angus's mouth became a little thicker, and he watched Gregory wait for a long time before finally making a cold and empty sound.

"A king's soul."
