Outside the window, thunder and lightning still roared, and the furious lightning and thunder were rare in the dead of winter, it was God's disappointment in Herbert, the roar of his crimes, and Mephistophelis laughed heartily as he showed off his greatness to God.

He was weak, his body was being eroded by the power from hell and the desolate land, the powerful magic water began to corrode his heart, frantically gnawing at every cell in his body, the magic was corroding his soul, Herbert's painful voice resounded throughout the castle, the castle trembled, Phyllis watched Herbert's evolution with satisfaction, let out a satisfied laugh, roaring and laughing together, echoing throughout the castle.

Herbert is experiencing unprecedented pain in body and body, his soul is slowly becoming dark and chaotic, this is the masterpiece of the 'Queen of the Night Kingdom' and the 'Old King of Chaos', the power from hell is corroding all the organs of his heart, lungs, and liver, his forehead is bulging, his eyes are full of thirst for blood, his mouth is full of fangs, his back is bulging, the bat's wings are bursting out, his muscles are swollen, the claws in his hands tear apart the skin, that is the image that the medium brought him, he kneels on the ground and howls like a monster.

He saw his own appearance in the bronze mirror with the help of the light of thunder and lightning, and he was stunned.

What the hell did the devil do to me? I have turned my back on God......

He stroked his face with his hand, his fingers ran over the contours of his face, he knew that everything was irreparable, he looked back at Phyllis, he stood up much higher than before, his head on the beam, the utensils around his wings were shattered, and he looked down at Phyllis in front of him, Phyllis did not show a look of fear but opened his arms as if to welcome his new work.

Herbert grabbed Phyllis angrily, and pressed Phyllis against the wall like a gust of wind, Herbert approached him, and made a strange gurgling sound in his throat, he instinctively sniffed Phyllis with his nose, and asked in a voice that he was not accustomed to: "The devil chose me on purpose, all this you carefully arranged, and I will make you pay for it." He stretched out his claws close to his face.

"One thing you said wrong, it's not that I deliberately chose you, but I heard your prayers, and I responded to your prayers, you said that you want your wife to get back on her feet, as long as your wife's illness is cured, you are willing to pay anything, this is what you said personally, have you forgotten?"

Herbert did pray to God for this, but God did not answer, but the demon threw himself into his arms like a fly smelling blood, "You deceived me and made me one of your kind, you are wrong, even if I am now, I will not be your accomplice, I will not suffer your lies again, and I will not suffer from your lies, let me die." ”

Hearing this, Phyllis immediately raised his hand to stop Herbert's actions.

"Wait, my dear friend, I didn't deceive you from beginning to end, I admit that I just concealed the process, but you can still save your wife, this is part of my plan, I am honest to help you fulfill your wishes."

"Let her be like me? Let her sell her soul? ……”

"No, no, you just don't adapt to this, you still become human, if you need to, you can also become this form, it all depends on your mood, you are in a bad mood now and you become like this, you will naturally change back when you are in a good mood, and I not only saved you and your wife, but also gave you endless strength, you look at your speed, stamina, strength and magic."

Herbert stretched out his hand and looked at his hand from side to side, he didn't want any speed, stamina and strength, he wanted to become his old self, a respected lord, he wanted to return to the arms of Christ again, not a feared, spurned monster, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

"I'm going to kill you."

"Why? I'm granting you what you ask, don't you...... Can God give you such a generous gift? You prayed to God day and night, and how did He respond to you? It's not that you left your wife to fend for herself, God has brought you nothing but pain and disappointment, and I'm different, it's me who gave you and your wife the hope of being born again, a chance to never be separated. ”

Herbert had to admit that the demon was right, and he began to loosen his grip on his hand, and he was once again bewitched by the demon.

"Not only can you rule an entire city or even an entire country, if you want, the whole world is yours, you and me, I am your strong backing, I am your solid ally." Phyllis softly comforted Herbert and envisioned a new future.

As if awakened from a dream, Herbert stared at Phyllis with his fierce red eyes, and he shouted to him with resentment.

"I don't care about the city, the country and the world you say, I just want my wife, Tress." He grabbed Phyllis's neck even harder, his face reddening, and his hand kept beating Helbert's strong arm, hoping that he would lighten it.

"When...... Correct...... Can...... Let me finish ...... ......"

He let go of his hand and Phyllis fell to the ground, his hand covering his neck with a coughing sound, he looked up and saw Herbert's condescending red eyes, "You can give your blood to your wife, as long as she drinks your blood, she can get endless eternal life, eliminate the plague of disease and the limitation of lifespan, you choose." ”

Herbert looked at the young lord he had only met tonight, and he knew that he was not a lord at all, that his identity was a demon without a shadow.

Herbert grabbed him by the collar and asked, "You bastard, you demon, who the hell are you?" Why? ”

Phyllis cracked his mouth and laughed, "Well, I confess, I'm from hell, I used to be a respected angel, I'm not used to God's hypocrisy, I'd rather be reviled and humiliated to do research that is beneficial to mankind, in fact I'm a scientist, I admit it." He raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, "Why did you choose you, you should be grateful for the fate between us, I just said, I really heard your prayers, and I heard your curses, so I came, friend, can't you see?" Your wife is nearing the end of her life, so I will come to you and personally deliver the medicine that will satisfy your heart. ”

Indeed, as Phyllis said, his prayers did not bring Tress better, but the illness exacerbated the torment of the disease, he thought that God was deceiving him at all, believing that God was not as good as he imagined, and that it was useless at all, and he began to doubt the existence of God, and that God simply wanted to see him suffer and suffer, and that everything about his wife was a tragedy directed by God to him.

Herbert was now completely conflicted, and he began to regret the dangerous thought he had just had, regretting that he should obey Tress, that he should not be disrespectful to God, that he should follow the arrangement of fate, and that Tress believed that God Almighty would bring her into the good kingdom of heaven, rather than simply leaving him and Ophelina.

That's because human nature and animal instincts are the result of resisting each other.

His body slowly changed back to its original state, still like an ordinary person, he looked at his hands, his eyes were blurred, he was crying, the demon polluted his soul and changed his appearance, his emotions were still preserved, he knew that his wife would not accept this state, she was afraid that his wife would leave him completely, so that he would never be able to stand up with the lonely mountain on his back.

Phyllis stood up and said, "Come, my friend, let us go and save your wife." ”

Instead of being comforted by Phyllis's words, Herbert provoked his anger, and his body turned into a vampire again, stretching out his claws to kill Phyllis, and he blamed Phyllis for everything.

Phyllis shook his head and put his hand on his chest, and with a gentle push Herbert was knocked out, he hit the wall, he watched the sharp sword hanging on the wall fall, the sharp sword was inserted into his right chest and a large amount of blood popped out, he couldn't breathe or stand, coughed up a lot of blood, the sword passed through his body and was directly inserted into the wooden ground, he kept struggling to try to pull the sword out, and finally he chose to give up, he didn't want to struggle and didn't want to live, he was willing to give up his life like this, It was better than being ugly in front of Tress and his daughter, he became calm and did not resist, let the blood flow from his wounds, he closed his eyes, tears slipped from the corners of his eyes, and the blood and tears left at the corners of his mouth mixed together and flowed slowly down the cracks in the ground.

Phyllis walked towards Herbert to help him, but he suddenly stopped, looked carefully out the window and frowned, and the corners of his mouth were upturned with joy and excitement, and he heard a faint voice again, but the voice of longing to survive echoed in his ears.

Phyllis walked out of the room and saw the assistant sitting on the floor with his hands over his ears at the door, "Get up, let's go, we have business coming to the door again." ”

I don't know how long it was, but Herbert suddenly sat up, and he saw himself on the bed in the room, and his rise made Francis as startled as ever,

"Master, hurry up and lie down, you are still very weak." He covered his face and remembered what had happened, hoping it was a nightmare. But his body was intact and there was no trace of it, and he knew that the man had deceived him, because the wound on his right chest was no longer painful, and it was restored intact.

He lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and despite Francis's persuasion, he walked barefoot and the door open to Tress's room, only to see the maid gently close the door of Tress's room, and when she turned around, she saw Herbert coming, and she leaned over and said, "Sir, Madame is asleep." ”

Herbert nodded, waved her hand again, and gently opened the door by the handle of the door, as if afraid of disturbing Tress, the room was dark except for another small candle with a lampshade in the doorway, and there was no moon outside.

He opened the door and entered, and vaguely saw a cloaked figure standing at the head of the bed, holding a scythe in one hand and an hourglass floating in the other, and the man was watching the hourglass sand decrease little by little.

He shouted as he walked towards the figure, "Who are you, where are you doing?" Thief, tell me your name......" Pick up a wooden chair from the side and prepare to fight the intruder to the end at any time.

The dark shadow did not look back, and replied to Herbert coldly.

"I am the end of life, the final destination of all life, I am 'death', your wife has come to the end of her life." Herbert was frightened, and his cold voice spoke again, "You're really surprised that you can see my existence, and it seems that I am still a step too late......"

"What?" Herbert was stunned, he stopped, and looked at the man's back in disbelief, "Are you 'death'?" You say my wife ......," he asked.

'Death' did not answer his words, but drew his hand to his eyes, the 'hourglass' suspended in the hand of the white dry bones, after seeing the white dry bones of the hand, Herbert was indeed startled, he was now sure that this was not an ordinary person, but what he was most concerned about was not what he was, but the hourglass in his hand, the black wooden frame was inlaid with a glass hourglass, on which was engraved 'Treis. Ash. Vontmünster', and there is very little sand at the top, and very little remains.

He looked at the hourglass and then at 'death', "If the sand on it is gone, then my wife's life is ......"

"Yes."

"No, I'm going to save my wife......"

"Stop, Herbert, you have committed the unpardonable sin of betraying the soul that God has given you to the devil, and now you are a walking corpse, you are neither a human nor a demon, you have inherited the monster of 'evil', 'sin' and 'suffering', are you still ready to bring your pain to your wife?" 'Death' answered him in a cold, merciless voice.

"No, we can have eternal life, be together forever and never be separated."

"Don't call your selfishness a great deed, if you are convinced, let's make a choice, this time the choice is not between you and me, but the choice is theirs. Ash. In the hands of Vontminster, regardless of the final choice, the other side will keep its promise. ”

Herbert nodded, but he still didn't feel at ease to be on the lookout for 'death' tricks, and 'death' seemed to see his concern, took a step back, and made a gesture of please.

Herbert shook Tress gently until Tress woke up, and Herbert was very happy to see that Tress was in a much better mental state.

"Tress. Ash. Vontmünster...... I am the 'death' that represents the end of life, your life has come to an end, I will cut the bonds between your body and soul, and judge where your soul goes, heaven, purgatory or hell, will you accept my judgment on you? ”
