Parents or younger brothers?

I choose to decline the selection.? Follow? Dream?. lā

Rodriguez just smiled and told me that there was a choice.

I said kill me first.

With that, I shattered my own source of magic.

But I eventually woke up and found myself hanging in the air, and when I subconsciously looked down, I could only see that my body had turned to bones.

Why am I still alive, shattering the origin of magic is the most serious and incurable injury for a mage, why am I still alive.

And to live in such a way.

I was hung by Rodriguez in the halls of the Hall of Bones, with only my head and flesh, my sense of pain and touch, and the rest of my body left with dry bones.

The bodies in the hall came and went, and no one looked at their former owners.

In their eyes, I was probably only punished for offending the old master.

Even if the punishment was caused by my refusal to use them as grey-eyed practitioners.

Rodriguez never looked up and didn't take the initiative to talk to me, he just calmly placed a huge clock dial opposite me, recording the time of my execution.

I didn't go and beg him for mercy.

We confronted each other like this, I don't know what spell Rodriguez used to keep me in this state, but it must have been an extremely difficult necromancy, I lost all my systems to maintain function, but I still lived with a single head, although I couldn't do anything else.

As time passed, I could clearly feel that my head was slowly drying and gradually losing moisture, and I didn't know how long Rodriguez's spell would last me in this state, so I wanted to wait for its limit.

At that point, I'll probably be able to die.

The gentle, delicate and unsmiling master in my memory, and Rodriguez, who was calm and indifferent at this time, suspended me in this way.

The two images kept rising and falling in my mind, overlapping, and then parting.

In the end, I gave in.

When Rodriguez hung me until the twenty-ninth day, I finally stopped him.

That wasn't a stop, my lips were already glued together by dehydration, and the fat had been depleted, so my shriveled skin shrunk like a dead skin on my skull, and I could only moan softly like a mosquito chirping with all my might.

But I know, Rodriguez, he can hear it.

He did hear it.

He looked up at me for the first time in twenty-nine days in the hall.

I tried my best to say what I wanted to say.

"I was wrong."

Even if it's just meaningless babbling.

But I know he understands.

I was put down.

He didn't let me lose consciousness, but put my body directly into the pool of blood, let me watch my bones grow flesh little by little, develop organs, and then blood vessels connect, pulsate with each other, and when the nerves were finally connected, I finally understood that I was alive again.

For the first time, I knelt down in front of him, kissed the ground in front of him and told him, "I am willing to cultivate Gray Eyes." ”

Rodriguez smiled calmly, but at that time I was already scared of him to the extreme, and I just shuddered at the sight of that smile.

He said, "Practice the Blood Spell first." ”

I just knelt down and slammed my head on the ground again and again in vain, my head covered in blood.

He asked me, "Not dead this time?" “

I can only be silent.

He said, still give you two choices.

Or, I'll bring your parents here with your brother, and you'll hang above this hall together, they don't have your perseverance and adaptability to necromancy, so they'll soon die before you.

When they die, you can cultivate Grey Eyes.

Or, you practice the Blood Spell first.

I said, I'll choose the second option.

I chose to curse my parents.

The blood curse was not difficult, after I mastered the configuration, it only took one time to kill the curse, and Rodriguez also took me to watch my parents suffocate by the throat and die, and then slowly turn into a pool of blood, Rodriguez turned back to me and said a word.

Do you want to kill me?

I could only kneel and prostrate, not daring to say a word.

Rodriguez smiled mildly, then said, "Don't be cranky in front of me, keep that in mind." ”

Then he added: It doesn't matter if you want to kill me, but you can only kill me if you learn everything I have taught you.

After practicing the Blood Mantra, I was finally able to continue cultivating Grey Eyes.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, I chose to make a backhand.

A hand that can save me after I have been tortured and completely dehumanized.

I chose to split my soul and create a second self.

Making a second self requires a container, practice, and even more so, the consciousness of hiding from Rodriguez.

That's how the opportunity came.

I need to cultivate gray eyes, and I also have a lot of bodies.

Also, Grey Eyes can easily fail.

So, I made the carefree bone, the second self.

Splitting the soul must be done without Rodriguez, but fortunately, Grey Eyes can easily fail, I can first try to tear the other person's soul apart in the process of using Grey Eyes, and then observe their reaction, when the first step is proficient, the second step is to try to inject the torn soul of the other party into the body alone, to see if it can function properly.

Then, he began to try to divide his soul.

Grey Eyes is an extremely complex and powerful spell that takes a long time to practice, and Rodriguez is busy with his latest research, so he doesn't have any extra scrutiny on me when I obey him.

So in the final stage, on the surface I can already play with each other's souls very skillfully, freely manipulating their bodies, peeping into their memories, or simply creating false memories.

In fact, I completely erased the soul of one of the primal bodies, and then poured my own split soul into it.

In order to keep it a secret, so that I couldn't discover her existence even when Rodriguez peered into my memory, I passed on the memory of making her to my second self called Sanssouci without reservation.

And as a stone glass, I will not know.

In the years that followed, she was to exist as the perfect test subject of the gray eyes, and as a member of the body, she was hidden without me knowing.

And try to survive on your own.

It's a game where you know each other and you lose.

Then I can have a final fight with Rodriguez without any scruples.

No matter what you go through, no matter how frightened and desperate, how dark and hesitant.

I'm going to go on without hesitation.

Like he said, after learning everything he taught me, kill him.
