Chapter 219: Arrogance and Stupidity (Part II)
The one who spoke was Inregosa. He is the uncle of the current Emperor Titan, one of the few "superior people" among the Titan who possess dragon blood.
The purity of his bloodline was already the standard of the Bronze People.
Therefore, at the age of forty, Inlegosa had successfully advanced to the Golden Rank.
However, he believes that his origin will directly "kill" his current self, so he refuses to awaken to the origin.
This refusal is two hundred years.
He was the one who kept taunting the Star Caller before. The Star Caller has told Inregossa many times that as soon as he awakens the Origin, the Second Tower will be handed over to him directly. But to say anything about Inregosa is to disagree.
In the end, the two turned against each other. Seeing that Inregossa had passed the age of a hundred and cut off the possibility of awakening origin, the Star Caller finally gave up on him completely. Not only did he make things difficult for Inlegosa, but he also used him as an example to teach his other students.
At that time, Inlegosa was already the deputy tower master, and he was from a noble background, how could he withstand the repeated provocations of the Star Caller?
But fortunately, he could recognize that he couldn't beat the star caller 100%, so he didn't make a move.
At the time of this great ritual of the Star Caller, no one would have suspected that he would be in the middle of it.
There is quite a reason why these great wizards are gathering here to oversee him.
-- Now, of course, their purpose has completely changed.
Under the orders of Inregosa, all the great wizards went into action.
As if they had already discussed, they carried out the order without any objections, and left the place one by one.
Even Tanas, who Anros usually reveres as an idol.
It was this that made An Ruosi desperate.
"Why ......"
Anros asked in a low voice, staring at Tanas.
in his eyes. Something is shattering.
Tanas met Anros's furious eyes, which seemed to burn, and stopped.
His whole body trembled. Hung his head.
The old man, who seemed to be going to fall in the next second, was just in a voice that he couldn't even hear clearly. To Ann Ruosiβor to himself with a vague moan. "I...... I just want to live a little longer. That's right. It's human nature......"
"Even if you kill me, it's fine. I don't want to die of old age...... That's ugly......"
"--That's why you're ugly!"
For the first time, An Ruosi roared at someone older than herself.
"Sell your teachers for profit. How do you do this! β
His brown hair fluttered, and a real rage burned in his eyes.
The look was reminiscent of a lion. His eyes were not at all gentle, but as sharp as a sword.
That's the look that only people with the determination to kill, the measure to kill, and the ability to kill can have.
If Natalia had seen such an Anrus a day earlier, I'm afraid she would have been full of affection for him...... No, it's possible to be full of murderous intent.
After all, a sword needs a sheath, not another sword.
"I used to think you were the most respected wizard in the White Tower...... I used to think that you were the only one who would never betray your teacher! β
An Ruosi's eyes were full of disappointment and resentment, and his voice was unusually heavy, as if something was rolling in his throat.
He kept moving forward.
"No...... It's not my fault......"
Obviously more than three orders higher than him. But Tanas flinched and stepped back and forth.
Old Tanas's white-washed wizard's robes grew messy, and his cloudy eyes trembled violently.
He visibly hesitated.
"Don't be nervous, Mr. Tanas. You're not wrong. β
But at that moment, Inregossa suddenly came behind Tanas and gently patted him on the shoulder.
"I ......"
"If you think about it, only if we live longer can we continue to develop these things that are beneficial to the people. Like this communicator, and the crystal screen from before - what a good thing it is. But because we don't have the right to speak, we can't implement it outside the White Tower. β
Inregossa whispered in Tanas's ear, "You're not wrong. Teacher Tanas. You are completely in the shoes of the public, thinking from the perspective of the people. β
"The wizards of the White Tower need more power, more authority, more voice - to be able to spread the benefits of the people farther."
"And the Star Caller, he's old. He is no longer up to date with the times," Inregossa asserted, "dwelling on the contradictions of the past. What's the point of constantly fighting with the gods? We need to develop. Wizards need to develop. β
Nonsense!
An Ruosi trembled angrily, but couldn't say anything. I can't even move.
At the moment when Inregossa spoke, more than a dozen bright auras as bright as stars suddenly appeared from An Ruosi's side. And they bound him tightly and captured him to the ground.
That's the Star Lock. The Star Caller invented, promoted, and taught the sorcery to Inregosa. At this moment, it is used to seal An Ruosi's actions, which has to be said to be a mockery.
"You go about the rest first. I'll leave it to me here. β
Inregossa met Tanas's hesitant gaze and said calmly: "Teacher, don't worry, I won't hurt An Ruosi." β
Hearing this, although Tanas looked incredulous, he finally obediently left the room.
For a time, there were only two people left on the top floor of the second tower.
An Ruosi knew that there was no possibility of escape.
But at this time, Inregossa walked over with a smile and gently grabbed An Ruosi's left hand.
At the same time, although An Ruosi was still unable to act, his ban had been erased.
An Ruosi's pupils narrowed instantly.
Because it was the left index finger of his left hand that he had contracted with the devil to grasp.
"Look, Anros."
Inregosa's tone suddenly became gentle and young, not at all like a graying old man: "I said that our trade would be pleasant. β
"Are you...... Edward? β
An Ruosi muttered.
Then he seemed to hear something, and whispered at him, "What have you done to Inregosa?" β
"It's really disrespectful to the elderly. It's not like you. And my brain isn't as flexible as it used to be. β
"Inregosa" said with a smile: "What else can happen if you refuse the devil's deal?" β
"You devil ......"
"Thank you. I don't need you to remind me of my race, I'm proud of my race. β
"Inregosa" casually closed Anjosi's mouth and stood up.
"I'm not going to let you die. Until you kill the chosen of the Holy One, you will not be at peace even if you die...... You have to keep the contract. β
ββCan the fuck hold someone's hand and press it hard?
An Ruosi struggled, glaring at "Inregosa", and wanted to scold but couldn't say anything.
At this moment, the great wizards who had finished handling their tasks returned to the conference room.
It took only ten seconds after the first wizard had left for the sacrificial circle to shut down completely.
After another seven or eight seconds, the infusion catheters were all closed.
Half a minute later, the pillar of light that completely enveloped the huge golden disc disappeared.
The runes around the second tower shattered. The lightning in the sky gradually subsided.
The ritual was completely interrupted. The Star Caller has been banished to the astral plane, and the power of the sorcery of maintaining the photogenic body has been completely removed.
Without a photomorphic body, and only staying in the astral realm in the physical body, it stands to reason that the star caller will be swallowed by the astral realm without even a blink of an eye, and become a spirited body without a sense of mind wandering around.
In other words, it took less than a minute for a group of Golden-Tier Great Wizards to kill one of the strongest men in this world - a miracle.
After doing everything and coming back here, the palms of the archwizards are even shaking.
When they were carrying out their part of the task before, they were always worried about the short, silver-haired boy who suddenly said from behind him with a disdainful expression: "Idiot, this place is not closed like this. β
-- Fortunately, everything is now complete. The smooth almost made the hearts of the great wizards empty.
Betrayal is also a betrayal - these are the words of the star caller Palbchiko jokingly during class one day. Now it has been fully fulfilled.
But somehow. It was clear that everything was a foregone conclusion, but the Great Wizards still felt uneasy in their hearts.
"-Ah, yes, guys."
The starcaller's mocking voice emanated from the golden disc.
At that moment, the hearts of all the great wizards in the second tower stopped for a moment.
"I think I've got to tell you that the astral plane can't kill me. I've activated that plan now, and the gods will be wiped out of their power and all fall to the ground in no more than three years. Rejoice, my sweet little fools. β
"Are you speechless in surprise? Do you think that I scold you every day as a "human" or "human", just because I have lived for a thousand years to not treat myself as a human being? β
"--When did you come up with the illusion that I am still a human being?" (To be continued.) )
