Chapter 14: Light, Darkness, Life
Locke stared at the thing in the distance, and the words of the elf rang in his ears.
"Wait to fix the problem, the current energy reserve is used up, and you have to fill it up first."
"Put away all the skeletons and corpses." Locke ordered as he walked towards the thing.
"Yes!" The elf sounded quite excited.
As the words fell, the surrounding skeletons all disappeared in one fell swoop, and the corpses in the distance still needed to be brought closer before they could be put away.
But Locke didn't have time to pay attention to that, and he came to a quiet stop in front of a corpse.
In front of him, a faint white smoke-like gas floated out of the corpse.
"Huh?"
"That's an energy aggregate, master." Hearing Locke's question, the elf immediately introduced.
Locke nodded, and approached the green smoke, "I know, but humans have another name for them. ”
"What?"
"Soul."
"Oh, I know that, too."
Locke smiled and walked over to the human soul, reaching through his arm like smoke, but the next moment, he was immediately sucked into his body.
"Energy refilled! The human soul is truly magical! The elf suddenly exclaimed and sighed.
Every demon has magical energy, no matter how high or low, the low-level ones can only recover slowly by time when they lose their energy, and the high-level ones can use miracles in exchange for human souls to replenish.
After a normal person dies, the soul will exist for a period of time, and then disappear and return to nature.
And those who have strong emotional fluctuations before death, that is, people say that their wishes are not fulfilled and they are obsessed, such people are more likely to gather energy and condense their souls after death.
This kind of soul body has always been in desperate need of demons.
Therefore, it is often heard or seen that when someone is desperate and desperate, the devil appears and makes a soul contract with him, so that he has obtained unrivaled power, and the end result is often for them to pay for their souls.
The soul contract is a rule made between the demon god, the human emperor, and the god king in ancient times, and those who violate it will be punished by the power of the world, and will be cursed at least and wiped out at worst.
Of course, whether it is a soul contract or not, the demons will abide by it, which can be regarded as their obsessive-compulsive disorder.
At the end of the contract, some people are satisfied with revenge, and their obsession may dissipate, and that is when the demons will do their best at the last moments, before the energy wears off.
However, it is more about the desire for life after the completion of revenge, and the thought that he is about to usher in the end of his life next, so he often has more intense emotional fluctuations, and even makes futile moves to deceive the devil, and this kind of person is also the favorite of demons, after all, the energy is also the greatest.
Now, with just such a handful of crystals, the 8-point crystal reserve can be replenished, and the energy contained in those souls with the deepest obsession can be imagined.
"Master, what about our hunting of human souls in the future? How quickly it can be replenished. The elf's tone sounded as excited as the discovery of a new continent.
Locke shook his head, took one last look at the surroundings, and after making sure that nothing had fallen, he turned around and walked towards the town that he had agreed with Pine before, and at the same time educated: "Obsessed souls, the energy they contain is often unfathomable, just to eat?" It's a tyrannical thing! ”
"Oh...... What other use does the master have? ”
Locke looked up at the moonlight in the sky and whispered, "Human souls are all products of holiness, so the potential they contain can be said to be close to infinity...... Annie, if the castle is once again under attack from the Divine Series, how can we Dark Undead Demons stop it? ”
"I've never been worried, because the master will have a way!"
“......”
How do you feel like you play the piano to a cow......
Locke sighed and said to himself, "We are restrained by the Divine Series, and the Demon Sect can cause quite serious damage to the Divine Clan, however, the Divine Sect is not afraid or even immune to most of the magic of the Divine Clan. ”
"You mean that light overcomes darkness, darkness overcomes life, and life overcomes light?"
"That's right, the law of all things lies in balance, mutual restraint and endless growth, which is the foundation of the world."
"Oh, what does that have to do with the soul you were talking about?"
Locke pondered, took a deep breath and said: "In the future, it shouldn't be too long, after we solve the most basic survival problem, we will start to make life units to defend the royal city?" ”
"With the human soul??? I...... I don't understand ......."
"You don't need to understand, I'll summon other demons to help when the time comes."
"Can you elaborate on that?"
Locke was silent for a moment, and after a while, he looked up at the starry sky again, and said faintly: "When suffering injustice, people will want to resist, any life is the same, and human women, especially young human women, they contain the most profound obsessions, and the souls of such people are often the most powerful. In the name of revenge, we can make a deal with them, and use their powerful souls as a model to create an invincible tactical flying unit to defend our airspace, I call this Project Nemesis! ”
"Oh! Oooh——! The elf suddenly exclaimed loudly, and she could be faintly heard clapping, "This is simply amazing!" If that's the case, aren't we not afraid of the light? By the way, why flying? ”
"Flying units can quickly support all over the battlefield, little fool." Locke smiled and said, "It's a life-type unit, but our enemies are not only light-based, there will be more undead demons to compete with us in the future." ”
"Demons? Kill them all! Thinking that a companion would come over, little Anne very decisively concluded that in her opinion, the existence of their family in this world was enough, and other demons did not deserve to live in this world at all!
"It is inevitable to kill them all, and all those who dare to stand in our way will die, but if we use our own demon immortality to tie it up, it will definitely hurt our vitality."
"What's that for? Nemesis? Didn't you say that the life system would be restrained by demons? ”
"We can use the light system." Locke said with a smile.
“...... Do you want to bring in the Light Department for our use? "The elf's breath is a little short.
Light overcomes darkness, darkness overcomes life, in a castle full of darkness, will there be both light and life? If that's the case, then this year's lord is definitely the greatest demon lord in the history of Demon King City!
"How to introduce the power of the light system, can you tell us more about it? My king? The elf couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart and hurriedly asked. (To be continued)
