Chapter 19: Aria: A Song of Despair
"Here...... Where is it?"
After passing through the portal, Heras came to a simple wooden house, surrounded by darkness and no light in sight. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"The slum to the west of Coal City should be a vacant house," Lin Yuan touched some rotten wooden walls and cast a light spell on them, "I told the spies who sneaked in, find a safe place at random, and leave the teleportation coordinates in case of emergency, just like now." ”
The illuminated wooden wall emitted a faint glow that illuminated the space.
The dilapidated interior was covered with dust, with large holes in several places, and it looked like it was in disrepair and had not been used for a long time.
"Then, Naretia," Lin Yuan smiled as he faced the still ignorant newborn dependents, "what you have to do is very simple, just sing a song." ”
"That...... Do you want me to sing here?" Naretia was puzzled, she didn't understand why Lin Yuan made such a request.
Now she doesn't understand everything, and she doesn't know how to use the extra magic in her.
"The spell I blessed you, the greatest effect of which is to give people the ability to 'voice', and the best way to express the characteristics of the voice is singing, isn't it?"
"Singing ......"
"I call this power 'chant', the original blessed magic, is the sound that can cause chaos and madness in others, but since my sacrifice has not been fully achieved, the power should be a little lower, but with the addition of the power of despair, the effect that can be triggered should be good. ”
Lin Yuan sighed.
"Isn't this the so-called plan not as fast as the change?My blessing magic is indeed prepared for you, but in my expectation, there should be another person who will be dependentized first, and then when the blessing sacrifice should be completed, this power will be given to you. ”
He chuckled at the thought of the sudden burst of power.
"If it weren't for the sudden appearance of a desperate powerhouse, I wouldn't have given you this power at this time, but it seems that everything is fine and things are going well. ”
Narettia felt a little uneasy, and the power of the other party's explanation gave people a not very good feeling.
Lin Yuan...... My lord...... I'd like to ask...... What happens if I sing here?"
"Who knows, if you don't try to sing here, you won't get a definite effect," Lin Yuan spread his hands, "The power of the voice of the chant, the power of despair, the two may cancel each other out, maybe they will add to each other, and no one knows the result until they are actually used." ”
Lin Yuan smiled and encouraged Naretia.
"Narretia, there is power in your voice, there is no doubt about it, maybe you don't know how to use it now, but it doesn't matter, as long as you sing, the power will naturally guide out, so you don't have to think too much, just concentrate on singing. ”
"But...... You said that my voice would cause confusion, and the power in me ...... I guess it's despair...... If I really use these two powers......" Naretia hesitated, deciding to hold her body.
Everything she has done so far seems to be driven by an invisible flow, and whether she does it herself or not, her own will seems to be unimportant.
They will come to Earth from the wizarding world.
The same goes for monsters that will be released at school.
It was also when he was rescued by Lin Yuan.
Will kill the former leader with his own hands.
Even just now, he killed a person he had never met, and he did it unconsciously.
Narretia thought of fate.
"It's not fate, it's just a very common thing that other people's decisions affect others. ”
Seeing through the confusion in Narettia's heart, Lin Yuan smiled and denied the so-called fate.
"Narretia, all the decisions are up to you, if you still feel uneasy, let's leave now, we want to test our strength, we can do it anytime, but I see this opportunity, so I will come here to try, I am not in a hurry. ”
Naretia hung her head and was silent.
“...... I can sing, and when I'm confused, go and sing...... That's what my sister told me. ”
In the end, Naretia made up her mind.
"If singing is the only thing I can do right now...... I can sing. ”
Lin Yuan laughed more and more.
Thus, for the first time, the chant of despair sounded in the world.

The lord of the coal city lay on a comfortable chair and took a big puff on the cigarette produced in the city.
There are so many things to worry about lately, and even his rest time has been greatly reduced.
"Damn it...... What should I do now?"
In the southern city-states, the discovery of the Magical Crystals reached his ears very early, and at the beginning, he was greedy and wanted to send troops to attack that place, but as soon as he learned that it was the city of the Painful Mighty, he immediately stopped the plan.
Ten years ago, when he first sat in the position of city lord, he had dreamed of becoming a local overlord and sent troops to attack the surrounding small city-states, but the first attack encountered a serious setback.
The Mighty One of Suffering, one man can stop his army.
The power of the powerful is too strong, there is no way to restrain it, unless it is a strategic magister, otherwise ordinary people will not be the opponent of the powerful.
It's a pity that although Coal City has a huge number of troops, it lacks top-notch combat power and has no way to break through the defense line of the powerful.
"You can't sit still!"
The news of the magic crystallization vein has gradually spread to the outside world, and many people are also eyeing this place, and a bad coal city will fall into a place of no return.
Moreover, the southern city-states will not always remain unmoved, and after capturing several cities in a row, a small force has formed there, which is also a threat to him.
Not to mention the presence of the powerful.
"Those hateful fellows, do you really want to accede to their demands?"
In fact, the forces in the south have already secretly attacked the coal city, and if it weren't for the help of those outsiders, the city might be infected by unknown diseases like the three other cities such as the fallen Yancheng, and thus lose the ability to resist.
But when he thought of the demands of those outsiders, the city lord of the coal city was unwilling.
"There must be another way!"
He didn't want to lose his current position, and he agreed to the demands of outsiders, no different from obeying them, in which case he might as well submit to the overlord of the neighboring place!
"What a bastard, why has so much happened lately...... Huh?"
The lord of the castle looked up in confusion.
In the starry night sky, there was an ethereal and beautiful singing.
The singing sound as crisp as a silver bell echoes under the canopy.
There was no music accompanying the cappella, and it reached the ears of the lord of the castle clearly.
"What's going on? Who's playing songs here with magic?"
Songs that keep echoing in my ears are singing lyrics about my hometown.
The women's voices are very clear, and they are definitely able to reach this place with the help of magic.
The lord of the city walked to the window and looked down at the city below.
“...... It's such a nasty place. ”
I don't know why, the lord of the city opened the window.
“...... It's a nasty life. ”
He stepped over the window, his legs outstretched.
"Ahhh......h The night is so beautiful......"
The castle lord let go of his hands and embraced the sky.
"Reality or something, it's so troublesome......"
Then, high at the apex of the castle, he fell on a hard masonry road.
He used his body to bloom red flowers.
*
The city was in flames.
What Heras had seen in another city before.
"Desperate Power ......"
She stood on the roof of a tall building, watching the collapse of the city with a blank face.
At this time, even if she does something eye-catching, no one will pay attention to her.
In the streets, many people attacked each other, frantically destroying everything they saw.
They were laughing, laughing with joy.
They listened to the chant of despair and went in search of their desperate homeland.
Someone fell from a height.
Someone strangled himself with his own hands.
Someone cut off his own head.
Driven by the sound of despair, they do everything they can to kill each other and kill each other.
Even animals are the same, out-of-control domestic animals smash their heads or bite themselves alive.
In particular, the destruction caused by the mad Magus was the main cause of the city's accelerated demise, and they unleashed their magic indiscriminately, destroying what they could see, and then did not hesitate to deliver the final blow to themselves.
The city's proudest air combat magisters, they collectively flew into the sky, then dissolved their magic, and all of them fell to the ground in their flesh, turning into a place of flesh that could not be seen in its original form.
Despair spreads, and destruction continues.
In the chaotic and noisy environment, the beautiful singing voice is still extremely clear, reaching everyone's ears.
Nothing can be stopped.
"I see, this is the so-called dependents......
Herass breathed in the thick of blood in the air.
It's a kind taste that makes her feel happy.
She laughed, like a desperate maiden, with a pleasant smile.
Heras closed her eyes, remembering Narettia's smile.
"It turns out that singing is such a joyful thing. ”
The embodiment of despair, when singing, shows a cruel smile.
"There's nothing wrong with me just singing, right? ”
Singing the ballad taught to her by her deceased sister, the girl put aside all her worries and felt the incomparable joy that came to her when she sang.
In the city of destruction, the beautiful song still continues, and until it is over, the pleasant sound can still be heard.
Heras calmly took everything in her eyes.
"This won't be the last city, this won't be the last chant of despair, this won't be ......"
Her dragon pupils radiated a deep glow of blood.
"That person won't stop, absolutely not. ”
