Chapter Twenty-Nine: Fanghua's decapitation, psychic awakening

Sadness, despair, hatred.

The three emotions mentioned by Rorschach represent the tragic lives of three of the most powerful Death Knights.

"Sadness" ——— the "Knight of the Apocalypse" who worked tirelessly to purify the souls of the dead with the lofty ideal of recovering the motherland and saving the people, but was seriously injured by the dagger from behind by the beloved parents who vowed to protect, and finally died in the betrayal and siege of his subordinates; "Despair" refers to the "Blood Elf Duke Lomux" who experienced the destruction of his homeland, the destruction of the glorious thousand-year-old civilization in the past, the displacement of his people, and finally met his lifelong love partner, but he was deeply trapped in the undead array, and could only die in front of her husband with a rotten and smelly ugly body, bleeding and tears, thus hating the whole world and being reborn; And...... In front of him, after losing all his beloved, he had no love and chose to fall into the "Prince of Despair Arthas".

But seriously speaking, compared to the other two famous death knights, the dark fate of father and son cannibalism, or the destruction of the race, love and kill, and struggle in every way but cannot be relieved, Arthas's "despair" seems a little weak. The reason that supported him to plunge into darkness was not a tragedy of family ruin, the so-called "despair" that prompted him to fall, but also mixed with too many self-righteous things, not so much a derivation of the tragic circumstances of life, but more like the childish extremism of a child who has been spoiled since childhood who thinks that he is "abandoned by everything" after falling out of love for the first time and being scolded. If it weren't for the fact that he was arranged to pull out the sorrow of the frost because of the important political status of Crown Prince Lordaeron, and was blessed by the power of the divine soldiers, and later made up for the shortcomings by killing his father and his teacher, and made up for the true meaning of despair, I am afraid that the real strength would be the weakest one.

His Royal Highness the Blackened Prince naturally didn't know what was in Rorschach's heart, and after listening to Rorschach's answer, he was silent for a moment before he sighed: "Now I really think you may be the legendary 'prophet'." Although there are some deviations, it is true, only by twisting the mad mind can the will to endure death be born, the 'irascible and murderous' will gain the power of death that is biased towards blood after death, the 'cold and ruthless' soul will be closer to the frost of ice, and the vile and evil surname will attract the increase of evil pollution. If they possess the qualities of true purity and goodness, even Frostmourn can only kill and destroy their bodies, but cannot conquer their immaculate souls. ”

In this way, can I understand the other way around: the stronger the accumulation of negative emotions before death, the greater the power inherited after resurrection? Ah, I see, no wonder you have so hard to deal with my two minions, it is completely different from the great demon king who blocked and killed the gods in my impression, and it turns out that your strength is not complete! Rorschach chuckled.

"Hmph, that's because...... You don't have to know that much," Arthas was about to speak, but suddenly he stopped, his face froze, and he seemed to become rather annoyed, and said grimly, "You just need to understand, I will let your two loyal servants kill you with your own hands, and use that 'master-killing' despair to stimulate their great potential." And when you die, I will extract your soul to gain all that you know, and after that, you will be sealed in my sword and enjoy the cold torment of eternal life. ”

At the moment when he wanted to stop talking, Rorschach clearly saw the frost sorrow in the prince's hand, and suddenly a wisp of blue brilliance lit up slightly, and compared with his inconsistent performance, Rorschach immediately understood that he was warned by the will of the sword, and his heart couldn't help but wonder again - is there any secret in it that I don't know?

But it has nothing to do with him, Rorschach shook his head, put aside these speculations, and wanted to move his body to a more comfortable position, but found that most of his cold body was still unable to move, so he replied helplessly: "I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed, these two women are what I inherited from an enemy, I didn't know each other before, and we didn't get along for less than a month, even if you let them break me into pieces, I'm afraid they won't be able to inspire any anger and despair." ”

"It seems that you don't know much about the spells cast on these two female surnames," Arthas smiled disapprerovingly, raised the Ice Demon Sword and pointed at the air, and the air immediately sounded a continuous freezing sound of "click", with the blue light, the mist steamed, and the strong cold air condensed in mid-air to appear two vertical and hideous ice spikes, and then little by little melted into a wide sword-shaped silhouette, by this leisure, he said with a slight mockery:

"Don't you feel anything strange now...... Didn't you notice that these two girls are connected to you? ”

"What...... Hey? This is? Rorschach blinked inexplicably at first, and then his face changed suddenly in the next second, and he couldn't help but ask in surprise.

It turned out that when he calmed down, for some reason, he was able to communicate with the other two hearts that were like a blank sheet of paper in a strange way. This feeling seems to be like the telepathy of biological twins, but it is one step closer, as if it is a whole divided into two halves.

This kind of connection, in fact, is not unfamiliar to him, it is the "spiritual bond" that naturally arises between each other after the adventurer and the corpse queen have established a contract, but at this time it is a mutated version after being strengthened countless times.

Originally, this weak psychic connection could only allow Rorschach to issue vague and simple orders within a hundred meters, but now, it was as if the souls of the three of them were fused into one, perceiving each other all the time, making him even have the illusion of indulging three bodies at the same time. This kind of weird improvement is like a sudden leap from the primitive wedge-shaped graphics and texts with time-consuming and crude information to the new era of radio Internet, and finally directly reached the point of "heart-to-heart" direct communication with brain waves. But now that the yin talisman he used to indulge the corpse has self-destructed, and the relationship between the two sides has been severed, what is going on in this situation?

"Although I couldn't understand the process of the transformation spell for a while, it didn't prevent me from understanding the principle. Your relationship with those two girls was originally an artificial 'kinship bloodline' of the day after tomorrow, using the connection between relatives to influence the living corpses who have no real soul and only instinct to get close to you. So the moment the magic ritual is successful, you have already created an incognito arcane contract, and although this relationship relies on spell items, it is essentially similar to a fledgling relying on the 'second parent' seen at first sight, so to speak, two sides of the same coin. Arthas pointed to the blue-flotted wound in Rorschach's lower abdomen and continued:

"These two girls have been given new souls by me with frost sorrow, and the reason why you did not die is largely due to the fact that this magic sword gave you a temporary state of semi-undead to contain wounds, and I implanted 'Fragments of the Frozen Throne' to replenish your life. The cognate magic of this shared trauma is, in a sense, a substitute for the broken contract and a hundredfold more intimately connected to your body. In other words, for their newborn souls, you are not only a symbol of their own life force, but also a life-giving biological parent, and a lover destined to never be separated for the rest of their lives, so ......"

"So, once I am killed by them, it is equivalent to completely ending almost all the good things in the world, and the huge negative emotions I have obtained are so huge that they are close to infinity?"

Rorschach took the rest of the words with a wry smile, and laughed at himself: "I really didn't expect that a bachelor like me could have two more brides and daughters at once." I'm afraid these words are not what you, a knight who only knows how to fight and kill, can you? I guess that Mr. Naozu, who spends all day in front of the skeleton and has the curiosity and research spirit of a spellcaster, has long been holding back his stomach, right? ”

Arthas snorted coldly, but he took a step back and made a gesture of instruction.

The corpse Ji who had been resurrected again and stood quietly on the side suddenly trembled, and her beautiful face clearly showed an expression of struggle and pain, but her body was uncontrollable and walked forward step by step, and finally held the cold ice sword condensed in mid-air, and walked stiffly towards Rorschach, who was paralyzed on the ground.

Looking at each other, a strange feeling suddenly rose in Rorschach's heart.

It seems that the fire is intense, it seems to be like seeing relatives who have been reunited for a long time and are connected by blood, but they are frozen by the inexplicable chill inch by inch, and they are forced to raise their swords and be forced to make a killing that they will not accept no matter what.

A kind of helpless, sad raging flame.

It was as if the mother had to kill her own child with her own hands, and the wife slashed at her beloved husband with a sword, and the purest feelings in her heart were forced to twist, and the heavenly surname in the depths of her soul was tragically blasphemed, but it was even worse, so that in an instant, two tear stains had flowed on the white faces of the two corpses on the opposite side, and Rorschach recalled this familiar sadness in a trance.

The ...... at sunset

He shook his head, forcibly aborted the vague memory, and whispered with a wry smile, "It seems that this adventure ...... It's going to end here......"

The next moment, the black-haired beauty who had the only skin-to-skin relationship with him stepped forward first, and at this time, her eyes were no longer pitch black, but the pure ice blue full of the color of the demon surname, with the delicate facial features like elves, melted into a kind of half-breed seductive charm. The new Death Knight Maiden suddenly had a smile on her tear-stained face.

The real smile is no longer a stiff picture of a corpse imitating the memories of life, but a peerless fragrance with a joyful and sincere emotion.

At the same time, Rorschach's face suddenly changed greatly, and the spiritual connection that was like a symbiosis after the ascension immediately played a role, making him instantly understand the next movement of the girl in front of him, and was about to speak, but he only heard a soft and delicate whisper.

"You've never been false...... You're me...... The only truth. ”

These are the first words and last words of the soul of this girl who was born in the world for the first time.

With a "poof", the crystal clear pure ice long sword pierced through the heart, and the cold light mirror refracted by the sword body reflected the stunned and panic on Rorschach's face.

The figure planted on the ground, spreading out the long dark purple hair like a tassel, and the transparent ice surface reflected the indifferent and delicate facial features, and it was the former corpse girl who also turned into a death knight in the back.

At the moment when the corpse Ji Yanran's ice sword turned to stab, the girl with long purple hair also learned of her companion's betrayal because of her spiritual connection, and instinctively wanted to resist, but suddenly showed a struggling look, this short hesitation made her let go of the five fingers holding the slender ice blade at the last moment, let the companion in front of her pierce her heart, and then fell to the ground.

Rorschach looked up in a daze, only to see the long-haired black girl stab the prince behind her with a decisive leap, just like the stunning blow that slashed at the logging demon when she first saw it.

Only the next moment, the sword broke and blood spilled...... Head flying.

The cold and delicate girl's face, with her long and soft hair, slid through an arc, and with a "bang", she threw herself into Rorschach's arms.

"Ahh——————h

Rorschach suddenly screamed, and only felt as if all the anger, sorrow, and hatred he had experienced in his life had gathered together, countless dark emotions brewed and stirred in his chest, and his whole soul was like a wild horse that had broken free from the horse, and the angry waves that had suddenly broken through the dam and lost their restraints. Endless guilt and pain completely dominated his mind, and under the impact of extremely strong negative emotions, another force in his body was suddenly triggered.

The power of the "psychic".

Originally, this psychic power attached to the physique, although it was claimed to have infinite potential, could even fuse the will of the planet to promote the gods when it reached the extreme. In Rorschach, because it is only a black iron-level basic card enhancement, it is weak and pitiful, and it is purely measured by the universal unit "magic power" between psychics in that world, and it is only a pitiful total of less than forty, so that Rorschach can only use the most basic ability shared by the five senses of the spirit as a simple second vision.

It's just that at this moment, this power, which is the same as the spirit of the heart, is stimulated by strong and desperate emotions, erupting from all over the body, turning into thousands of tiny air currents, dissolving and sweeping away "anger", "sadness", "hatred" and all indescribable negative emotions, and then absorbing them as nutrients, and finally converging into a long surging river, which swells to three or four times the flow, and then swells and washes in his body, naturally soaking into his lower abdomen, touching the ice-blue fragments embedded in his flesh and blood.

The implant fragment that Arthas called the "Frozen Throne Fragment".

The crystal-like fragment seemed to be violently stimulated, and the cold air emitted was no longer just the faint degree of maintaining Rorschach's immortality, as if in an instant, it turned from the trickle of the Bo into the tide of the evening breeze of the Mirror Lake, and then expanded a hundred times and a thousand times to rush up, and in the next moment, it finally came into contact with the magic power that originated from the psychic physique.

But the two forces did not break out into a tragic bloody battle, but were of the same root, like two tributaries of the river that met each other, almost as soon as they touched, they merged into one, converging into a huge energy like the tide of the Qiantang River, and the originally transparent color gradually turned into a ghostly purple diamond, and was no longer satisfied with the circulation of Rorschach's external flesh and blood body, but poured into his spiritual will like an avalanche.

In just an instant, the total amount of Rorschach's "magic power" increased twelvefold, and the gurgling stream turned into a lake, climbing from the original forty to six hundred, but compared to the other improvement, it was insignificant. The breadth of his soul and spirit continued to rotate and increase with the ice crystal fragment in his lower abdomen, expanding more than a hundred times in the blink of an eye, and it became bigger and bigger like a snowball, and finally Rorschach's brain "boomed", and his body finally couldn't accommodate the sharp rise in spiritual power, and the whole soul suddenly took off the shackles of **, swayed up, and came out of the body.

Only then did he see the "truth".
