Eren brushed the somewhat messy hair on Tia's forehead, and the scene seemed to go back to the old days, when they first met. It's also such a forest, such an air, such a mutual being, everything has not changed in the slightest, happiness is never a low-hanging gift, but even in this case, are they unhappy with each other?

"Allen"

Reinvigorated, Eren and Tia come to Ilt and Kira's side. Joy placed Ilte's head on his lap, his hands pouring magic on either side of his head.

"It's a preventative spell, and if 'he' runs out again, we'll all be bothered."

Cheer stopped what he was doing and looked at Eren and Tia with the look you could ask whatever you wanted.

"Kirk, you've known Ilte the longest, tell us what this is all about."

Looking at the sleeping Ilte, Alan suddenly felt a little strange, although it is true that they have not known each other for a long time, but there are too many facts that they have experienced together. When Ilt told him and Tia his secret, Alan thought that there would be no more secrets between them, but now it seems that there is a huge mystery waiting to be revealed, which must be the one that Ilt said he wanted to tell Nina first.

"I don't know how much Ilt told you about him, but he doesn't seem to be able to care so much now. As you all know, Ilt is a cursed child, God's injustice to him is terrible, no parents, no friends, only a short 25 years of life, is it really necessary to continue such a life? This is the question that Ilt asked me when he told me about his background, and I couldn't answer him at the time. I didn't dare to give the answer to such a simple question at the time. ”

Chiller took Ilte's left hand and wiped it with a handkerchief.

"There's no one whose life shouldn't go on, even if it's only 25 years, and that's my answer. Although I was long overdue to tell you, I wanted to say this on the first day I met you. ”

Qile looked sadly at Ilt in his arms, but he couldn't hear the answer at the moment.

"When we met, Ilt was very cheerful, and it seemed that it was because he was with you, and although you didn't tell him the answer, it also brought hope to his life."

Alan smiled.

"Perhaps, whether he was lucky or unlucky to meet me, I have never been able to say. Although he always said that it was the luckiest thing in his life. ”

The encounter between Kira and Ilt is more than just the hope he brings to Ilte's life, in Kira's opinion. It's more like the luckiest thing he's ever met in such a long time, and Ilt is the one who brought hope to his life.

"Ilt has spent a lot of effort trying to unravel the curse, and I think he's told you all about it."

Eren and Tia nodded.

"Actually, in order to get the "Creation Poem", he exchanged arms with Purgatory Ji and obtained not only the magic circle in the palm of his hand, but also a disease that is not easy to cure.

"Disease? What is that? ”

"Split souls."

"Split souls? Isn't that a spell? ”

Tia knew that among the higher levels of magic that existed were two opposing types of magic, one that bound souls and those that split souls. When returning to the royal city from the Spell Alliance, Doro, the little doll next to the archmage of the Mage Tower, Sbreth. It is the product of the soul binding technique, which is a small part of the soul condensed by the mana of Sblaise and injected into the body of Doro, who has become a container. So Doro is like a doppelganger of Sbraith, but there is a big difference between soul bondage and soul splitting. Soul bondage is actually the distribution of a part of the power in one's body to another instrument, and the mind and consciousness can achieve a high degree of consistency. But soul splitting is a completely different kind of magic, it is the intervention of the human soul by external forces, and the soul is divided into several parts, and those souls who split away from the subject will have their own consciousness. Become a whole new body of thought. This body of thought can be completely different from the subject from the inside out, just like another person.

"It is indeed a spell to you, but Ilt was not affected by a spell that caused his soul to be split. It was entirely because he had used dark magic to exchange this arm that he had contracted this problem, on his body. This is more like a side effect of some kind of spell that arises spontaneously, and it might be more appropriate to call it an illness. ”

Qile's handkerchief seemed to have a hard time wiping away the blood of the gods, and he knew that it was useless, but he still refused to give up.

"Purgatory Ji - Elsa, the Demons, this Ilt once told us that the Dark Magic Array obtained by exchanging arms can open the door to enter the Demon Race, but how could Purgatory Ji agree to exchange one arm for him a chance to go to the Demon Race?"

Alan wanted to ask Ilte this question, but it was never brought up again because it involved Martha.

"It's not just an arm's trade. Did you know that Ilte's right hand is born with the ability to devour the mana of others? ”

"Devouring other people's mana?"

Qile looked at Eren and Tia's reactions and knew that they didn't know about it.

"Yes, Ilt named this ability 'Mana Burning'. As long as he activates the skill, everything touched by his right hand, whether it is a human, a god, or a demon, will be devoured by his right hand The mana in the body will be swallowed by his right hand, and as long as the connection continues, it will be endlessly absorbed until Ilt dies, or the mana of the person being absorbed is burned out. ”

"Why did Ilt die? Do you mean that's because the gods have endless mana? ”

Tia asked.

"No, Ilte's ability doesn't come without a price. Every time he uses mana burning, it consumes his life force, and this ability actually hastened his death. So normally, Ilt would not use it easily, after all, he only has a lifespan of 25 years now, and he can't withstand such a casual release ability. ”

"How can this be so unfair"

"There's nothing unfair about it, don't you think this ability is too scary, that's why there are restrictions, it's normal. What I'm trying to say is that Ilte's hands actually have this ability, and now you understand what the terms of the Purgatory Ji exchange are, right? (To be continued.) )
