Chapter 22: Compromise
Cizer looked at the shattered Demon Star Earth under his feet, and although he didn't hear any words, he instantly understood the meaning of the consciousness in his mind.
"Leave!"
This is what the Demon Star wants to say.
Cizer didn't rush to respond, the red thread on his wrist untied layer by layer, like red clouds around him, guarding his soul.
The red thread seemed soft, but Cizer had a feeling that it could be as strong as a diamond if he wanted to.
It was only after feeling the protection of the red line that Cizer began to respond to the consciousness in his mind.
"As long as you agree to my request and conclude a contract of equality, I will leave. ”
Cizer waited for the Demon Star's response, his face unwavering, but his heart was not as calm as it seemed on the surface.
Demon Star won't kill him in a fit of rage, will he?
The apprehension made Cizer's fingers tremble slightly, and he subconsciously wiped his forehead, only then did he realize that he was still in the state of a soul body, and there would be no such thing as sweat.
For a long time, the imaginary vibration of the demon star did not happen, and the consciousness did not respond to Cezel's request.
Cizer floated on the land of the Demon Star, looking at the dark abyss, not knowing what to do. Where he couldn't see, at the center of the soul body's eyebrows, a small mark was flickering slightly.
The sigil looked like a vertical line, but a closer look reveals that it looks more like a scepter, with a pair of tiny wings at the tip of the scepter fluttering slightly.
The scepter emitted a faint glow that stood out in the dark world of the Demon Star, as if it had dispelled the first rays of light from the endless darkness. Weak, but tenacious.
Cizer didn't notice it, thinking that the demonic energy around him had disappeared because of the red thread.
The frequency of the scepter's sigil flickering was constantly changing, as if talking to the darkness around him, all without Cizer realizing it.
Suddenly, the Demon Star Land shook violently, and countless rich demonic qi erupted from those pitch-black abysses, and for a while, the Demon Star Earth once again turned into a surging demonic energy.
At the same time, an extremely strong scream came from the abyss, and Cezel had to cover his ears tightly with his hands, but it still couldn't stop the sound from reaching his body. Cizer felt the throbbing of his soul body, and the originally stable soul gradually began to collapse, and Cizer had a premonition.
If he continues like this, he will really die!
But on this demonic star, Cizer couldn't do anything. The fatal screaming sound alone made him feel at a loss, and the red thread was constantly consuming the demonic energy around Cezel, and there was no possibility of getting out.
Cizer could only barely gather his consciousness and send a plea signal to the demon star.
But what Cizer didn't know was that the scepter mark on his forehead had been flickering wildly at an alarming frequency since the Star Mutation began.
And the frequency of the flickering of the mark continued to increase, and on Cizer's forehead, a golden light became more and more obvious.
However, the Demon Star's movements did not change in the slightest due to the actions of the sigil, and he looked like he would not give up until he killed Cezel.
Cizer's soul was still struggling in the scream that hit the soul, and a clicking sound continued to come from Cezel's soul body, and several cracks visible to the naked eye spread on his soul body, looking at the direction it extended, and the last place to arrive should be the mark on Cezel's forehead.
However, Cizer was not going to sit still, to be precise, it was the mark on his forehead that sensed the predicament Cizer was facing at this time.
The original flickering imprint suddenly stopped, and even the light emitted weakened a lot, and the demon star seemed to sense this change, causing the demonic qi around Cizer to surge wildly, like a vicious python that kept burrowing towards the place where Cizer was.
In the face of the sudden increase in demonic energy, even the red line that was invincible before seemed to be stretched, and if one was not careful, a small demonic snake rushed in and pounced straight towards Cizer.
Although Cizer had been struggling to resist the demonic sound before, he also kept a certain amount of attention to the outside world, so he saw the scene of the demonic qi surging wildly, saw the continuous interception of the red line, and also saw the wisp of demonic qi rushing towards him.
Cezel, who had been full of fear of death, suddenly calmed down a lot, he thought of the old couple who raised him, and thought of his biological parents who had never met.
He also thought of Monet, of Diablo.
He also thought about old Merlin, if his last student died, would he collapse like this......
Cizer doesn't want to die!
He had so many concerns, so many things to do, and he was only twelve years old!
The demonic qi kept rushing over, and Cizer stared at the demonic qi with all his strength, and raised his right arm with all the strength of his body, blocking the path of the demonic qi.
Flutter!
As soon as the demonic qi came into contact with Cizer's right arm, it was like boiling water meeting ice, an inexplicable steam continued to rise, and Cizer could only feel an unforgettable pain, and the expression on his face was painful and hideous.
"Ahh......h
Cezel screamed in such pain that something more devastating was yet to come.
The place where Cizer's right arm was eroded by demonic energy seemed to have planted a seed, which took root and sprouted in Cezel's soul, and the magic patterns blossomed and fruited on it, spreading rapidly, blooming strange and bright flowers.
Cizer tried to shake it all off, but he was horrified to find that he had lost control of this part of his body.
The bewitching black magic flower exuded more demonic energy, and the magic pattern spread faster and faster on Cizer's body, and soon occupied his entire chest, stretching out its claws towards his head.
Suddenly!
Just when Cizer was about to despair, the long-dormant mark of the scepter suddenly flickered, and then a dazzling light emanated, lighting up the whole world!
If you look at the universe outside the magic star, you will find that the magic star seems to have been hit by a sun of the same size, and most of the blazing light balls are embedded in the magic star, reflecting the originally dark magic star.
Cizer, who was in the middle of the "star", saw that the magic pattern that caused him great pain was like a snowflake in summer, dissipating at a rapid speed. But until the sign retreated to his right arm, not even the blazing light could make it fade for half a minute.
At the same time, the magic sound from the Demon Star Abyss also disappeared in Cizer's ears, and the rift on the soul body slowly healed under the warm light, and soon the appearance of injury was no longer visible.
Cezel, who had regained control of his body, moved his limbs and found that even his demon-patterned right arm was as flexible as ever.
Cezel couldn't help but look around at the end of his examination of himself, the dazzling golden light illuminating everything in his sight, and he didn't know where the light came from.
But at this moment, Cizer's mind appeared again in the consciousness of the demon star, I don't know if it was an illusion, Cizer felt that there was a slight difference in the originally powerful consciousness.
There is only one meaning in the mind that came from the demon star this time, and when translated into words that humans can understand, it is probably that.
I agreed.
Before Cizer could respond, a crimson point of light suddenly appeared in front of Cizer, I don't know if it was a premonition in the dark, or the guidance of fate, Cizer raised his pitch-black right hand.
The red dot of light slowly fell, and when it touched Cezel's palm, it soaked into his skin like ink, slowly outlining the mark of a red eye.
As the mark took shape, Cizer began to sense the presence of the star.
It's a strange feeling, as if you've lost all your senses, but you just know it's there.
There is no reason, like fate.
Cizer wanted to say something more, but his soul body suddenly weakened, and then a gravitational pull appeared behind him, dragging him out of the gravitational pull of the demon star.
The moment Cizer left the Demon Star, the many abysses of the Demon Star once again appeared with rolling demonic energy, and after a few breaths, it returned to the former appearance of the Demon Star, and the demonic energy that covered the sky and the sun writhed wildly, as if celebrating someone's departure.
......
When Cizer regained consciousness, the first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was Old Merlin's unusually nervous face and bloodshot eyes. It can be seen that he should have maintained a high level of mental tension for a long time.
After moving his body and finding no obvious abnormalities, Cizer breathed a sigh of relief, he still remembered everything he had experienced on the Demon Star, after all, the soul was different from the body, and he was really afraid that his body would be paralyzed.
"You're finally back, I thought ......" Old Merlin finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Cizer come to his senses, what he was most afraid of was what happened to his last student.
"How? Did it work?" said old Merlin, staring nervously into Cezel's eyes, and asked the question that haunted him.
Hearing this, Cizer subconsciously opened the palm of his right hand that he was clenching, and saw the strange blood-like eyes, and then said to Old Merlin: "It's successful! The Demon Star has made a contract with me. ”
Hearing this, Old Merlin clutched his chest and couldn't move for a long time, and it wasn't until a long time later that he exhaled heavily.
"It worked...... If it works, it's good...... If it works, it's good......"
Old Merlin choked up suddenly, and the tears could not be stopped, and he cried out to Cizer, "I...... Succeeded!!"
Cizer silently looked at the old tearful teacher, and also showed a joyful smile, he stepped forward to hug old Merlin, and whispered.
"We ...... It worked!"
