Tress was startled by what she saw, and suddenly, the other party said such a thing, which made her even more difficult to accept, her body began to tremble, Herbert hugged her body and continued to comfort her, he stared at 'death' with resentment, complaining that it was so rude that he had intimidated his beloved wife.

"Do you have to make a final choice, do you want to follow the arrangement of fate, do you choose to leave your husband and minor daughter and enter the final place, or do you and your husband become the tools of the devil?" 'Death' continued.

"I'm sorry I didn't understand, Lord Death." Tress didn't understand everything that 'Death' said, and she looked at Herbert and 'Death'.

Herbert was ashamed, he didn't know how to tell her the whole story, I couldn't open my mouth because of his stupidity, Tress caressed his face with both hands, and Herbert couldn't look her in the eye, Tress whispered, "Tell me everything that happened, dear." ”

"Dear Tress, I am very ashamed that the man named Phyllis tonight is a liar, a liar from hell, and he coaxed me that I could save you, on the condition that I drink his medicine and turn me into a monster, and make you drink my blood and become a ...... Another monster. Herbert said that at last his voice became quieter, and he did not dare to look his wife in the eye.

"Oh my God, my dear, how can you make such a mistake, you have failed God's mercy and gift to us, you are a foolish act of betraying the light and going into darkness, my dear, you know that if this is the case, I cannot agree with your approach, although I do not want to leave you and Ophel......ina, nor do I go against God's arrangement, if I choose me to accept the sentence of 'death' against me, please do not go against my will, and dispel this ridiculous thought." Tress was weak but also impassioned.

"Of course, my dear." Herbert's eyes were blurred with tears.

"Well, the answer is obvious, the time has come, Herbert is not going against the principle of life, go away." As soon as she raised her hand as soon as she said 'death', Tress's transparent soul left her body, lying flat and suspended in mid-air, there was a transparent bond between her soul and her body, Tress's expression was very serene, and 'death' raised the 'scythe of time' to cut off this link and complete the ritual of the end of Tress's life.

Herbert didn't want to accept this result at the last minute, he couldn't let Tress leave him, as she said, it was too cruel for Tress to sneak away without touching his daughter, he wanted to stop 'Death' from continuing to abuse his wife, he stood up and shouted: "No, I won't give Tres to you, she can't die now." ”

"The ritual of death brooks no one to break it." 'Death' shouted harshly, it raised the 'Scythe of Time' and poked it at Helbert's chest, Herbert's body was shocked and flew backwards, a bat-like black soul came out of Herbert's body and grabbed the 'Scythe of Time', and let out a heart-rending hiss at 'Death', and the black soul pulled Helbert's body towards 'Death'.

He reached out and inserted it into the black cloak of 'death', and in the confusion he grasped a cold thing, and the black soul pushed 'death' away and returned to Herbert's body, and the cold thing he held hard was broken by him, and 'death' floated in the air and froze, looking at Herbert holding a rib of his own in his hand.

'Death' looked at him, the white bones that penetrated from his hood, and the black hole looked at Herbert, "That is the power of the ancestor of the Flood, your power comes from 'chaos' and 'night' and even mixed with the power of demons, Herbert, you are wrong again and again, you will pay the price of endless pain, from now on 'loneliness' is your best friend, 'ugliness' is your heir, 'fear' is with you, and 'infamy' will accompany you for a lifetime." ”

'Death' put away the scythe in his hand and withdrew Tress's 'Sands of Time', Tress's soul fell back into Tress's body, Tress said weakly: "Honey, you can't go on wrong, I don't want you to be tortured endlessly for me, give up, we will be punished with endless guilt, please give up." ”

"No, Tress, I'm going to let you live well, if not for me, but for Ophelina, I'd rather bear a lifetime of infamy than let you leave Ophelina, she needs her own mother, and I'm willing to bear all the consequences." Tress listened to Herbert say this, tears streaming down her face, and she shook her head.

"Hellbert, you will not be satisfied, I will curse you and your family now." 'Death' held out a hand in front of him, and Herbert felt as if his body was about to be hollowed out, "You will pay for everything you have done today, because of your ignorance and blasphemy, Tres will be painfully implicated, until someone extradites Treis's soul, and before again it will be physically and mentally tortured, and you and your family will live in darkness forever like me, the sun is your worst enemy, I will burn your flesh, and the cursed soul will not be destroyed by heaven, Purgatory and Hell receive, you have no death but death, unless the first human ancestors reappear on earth and give it to you. ”

A strange wind blew from Death's hand towards Herbert, and the black soul in his body rushed out of his body, and white flames burned on his body, and the flames were like angry ghosts, gnawing at his flesh, scratching at his skin, tearing his chest into his flesh, it tried to extinguish the flames, apparently a beast from a foreign land, and finally after the curse of 'death' was over, it slowly recovered and returned to Herbert's body.

The black soul was Herbert's 'instinct', and the 'instinct' replaced the original human soul, and it was churning left and right in its body, Herbert's face was raised to the ceiling, and black flames erupted from his eyes and mouth to hit the ceiling, and the ceiling was completely burned black, and all the windows of the room were blown open by the cold wind, and Herbert fell to the ground and fainted.

The next day, Herbert was awakened by a piercing pain, he opened his eyes to see his arm slowly burned in the sun, began to smoke as if his arm had been poured with sulfuric acid and began to rot, he hurriedly pulled out his hand, the arm slowly recovered, he remembered everything last night, he had to retreat into the dark shadows, he still held the rib that emitted black flames in his hand, he looked at this rib and his wife who was sleeping not far away, he felt anxious in his heart.

'Death' was gone, but it had brought its brothers 'Hunger' and 'Plague' to Tress's bedside, while 'War' watched Herbert in the shadows, his sword in hand, ready to strike him a fatal blow.

The snow in the deep mountains, the heavy snow made the whole mountain forest covered in silver, the white snow could see everything in the forest even on a moonless night, and the long howl of the animals broke the silence of the forest, shaking the snow on the trees to fall in large chunks, and the branches of the trees creaked because of the snow.

Wolves dominate the snowy nights, hunger and greed make them fearless in the forest, deer keep fleeing in the deep forest, hares shiver when they enter the burrows, even bears can only avoid their edges, Malan Snod after a heavy snowstorm, the food at home begins to be scarce, in order to maintain the physical fitness of his pregnant wife, he and his colleagues in the village go into the mountains to hunt some prey, because the appearance of wolves makes him alone.

The head wolf stood on a higher hill and looked at the dying Malansnod, the other wolves were driving him into a corner, he was covered in blood on his back against a small dirt slope, the blood was already stained with the coat of animal skin, the other hand was still holding a wolf cub that he had bitten to death, and the other hand was holding a sharp knife, he looked at the approaching wolves with frightened eyes, he had no extra strength, and now the knife in his hand became an excuse to appease him, and the remaining wolves began to fan around him.

The corners of his mouth were bleeding, and he couldn't tell whether it was his or the little wolf's blood, he secretly prayed to God to give him a chance to live, he didn't want to die now, he still had a wife and unborn children who loved him at home, his desire to survive made him support until now, he bit the little wolf's neck fiercely, he vented all this anger and dissatisfaction on the dead wolf, he needed strength to fight the wolves even more.

The head wolf seemed to smell the smell of the air, this dangerous and ominous smell made it more vigilant, it raised its ears and listened to the movement in the dark, the fear made it restless, the "creak, creak" sound of shoes stepping on the snow, the sound became clearer and clearer from far and near, the fear was also pressing here step by step, the head wolf howled to the sky and turned away, the remaining wolves would not stay because of greed, even if they were hungry, they had to obey orders, only in this way could they live.

Maran Snod felt a burst of joy in his heart, his call was answered, he thanked God in his heart for his love, and soon found out how futile this kind of joy was, he was already dying, not to mention standing up and even having the strength to shout, he might not be eaten by wild beasts tonight, then he couldn't fight the cold in the forest, I don't know what will appear in the next time, anyway, it doesn't matter.

A gentleman in a top hat and fur coat appeared here with a silver-tipped cane, he cautiously approached Maran's Nord, for fear that the blood stains on the ground would pollute his shiny leather boots, he kept his feet on his feet to avoid the blood, walked to Malan Snod, squatted down to look at him, and said to him: "Oh, no one would have thought that such a coincidence could occur so late in the world, and there would be a dying man here." ”

Mephistopheles gave a smack.

"Hello friend, I'm Morpheus. Torr. Phyllis, Lord, it's a pleasure to meet you here. He reached out and pinched the sleeve of Maransnod's shirt with his thumb and forefinger, and looked at the blood-stained hand, which fell limply to the ground as soon as he let go.

Malan Snod had difficulty breathing because of excessive blood loss, and said angrily: "Dear lord, thank you for saving me, my prayers have been answered, you are a saint sent by God." ”

"Aha, you're right, I'm the saint God sent to save you, you're a gentleman who pays attention to top hats, though ......" Phyllis looked at him and pouted, feeling very grateful for this man's compliment, "Anyway, it's your lucky day, my dear friend." ”

"Yes, sir, please do well, save me...... I still have ...... at home."

"Of course, I'm here to save you, and before that you should know that nothing is free now, and if you're willing to make a deal with me, I can ......"

"I do, I want to live......" Before Phyllis could finish speaking, Maran Snod agreed to his request.

"Wow, you're such a happy person, you're very discerning, and you won't lose anything about doing business with me." He patted him on the arm.

"If I continue to live, I promise to pray for you every day and wish you good health." Maran Snod coughed up blood, and Phyllis took out a handkerchief and covered his mouth and nose, as if the man had an infectious disease.

"Of course...... Alright, alright, please shut up......" said Phyllis interrupted impatiently, took out a golden vial from his bosom, and shook it in front of his eyes.

"Before we do it again, let's make an agreement, this is what we commonly call a contract...... "Phyllis took off his gloves after speaking, took his weak hand with one hand, and slashed it, Malan Snod did not feel pain, he was numb, the blood did not flow out of the wound, he looked at him and said: "Oh, my dear friend, it looks like your blood is running dry, we have to step up." Phyllis squeezed the wound hard to see a little blood oozing out.

He took his knife and made a cut in the palm of his hand, and blood flowed out of his palm, and then, he took one of his hands and cut a cut, and the hands of the two men were clasped together again, and the blood of the two men mixed with each other, "That's it, hold on, my friend".

"Come, please open your mouth......" Phyllis unscrewed the lid and pointed the bottle to his mouth, his mouth was mixed with wolf and his blood, the perfect test subject, a stream of black viscous liquid dripped into his mouth, and the black liquid rolled into his body.

Phyllis grabbed the little wolf beside him again and said, "Come, Maran Snod, you need to drink something, for the sake of your unborn child, come." He put the little wolf's flesh on his mouth, and he gulped the blood from the beast's wound, and Phyllis threw the wolf's corpse and wiped the remaining blood from his hand with a handkerchief.
