Chapter 61 Doubts I (2nd Update)
Chapter 59 Doubts I
I always felt that something was wrong......
The sword-wielder couldn't help but frown - the girl from the Order knew far more demons than the Glory One trapped in Hemtika, and she knew exactly what the High Demons meant - perhaps not incomprehensibly powerful, and some even lacked overwhelming strength, but there was a gap between the High Demons and ordinary demons that could not be bridged in any way, the gap in the essence of life.
That's the chakras.
Chakras are the source of the power of the higher demons, and they are also the strength that can rival the great sword wielders.
This mysterious organ can not only provide the high-level demons with physical qualities far superior to ordinary demons, but also enable them to control the mysteries beyond ordinary people's comprehension - it is a strange power that is not inferior to the glorious, and what is even more terrifying...... They tend to have more than one capability.
As far as Mia knows, in Canaan, where the Order is located, terrible monsters have been found that have awakened the power of seven talents - although they cannot use the power of two different talents at the same time, in a battle where ability is everything, each different ability represents a different possibility, which means that the opponent is inherently inferior in intelligence, which means that it has several opportunities to turn defeat into victory.
But......
Her gaze paused slightly on the headless corpse of the killer, and the girl then looked away: the coercion on the murderer's body was real, it was definitely a high-level demon at the top of the ruling demon, and unlike the indescribable evil thing that had fallen under her sword before, it was definitely not a man-made thing that was born with a cripple, but a treacherous demon born from the midst of desolation.
In the face of such a monster -
After a battle that was not a bitter battle, it was slain?
No matter how you think about it, there is a sense of unreal absurdity, except for the fog that was controlled at the beginning, this rare demon with a certain intellect did not show anything extraordinary, even if they did not win this battle easily, there was always a sense of stiffness that was difficult to ignore, and ...... The sense of deliberateness is as if you have entered a script that someone else has already written, and the arrival of victory lacks the real sense it deserves.
Especially Amy Ulysses, there is a big mystery about him, obviously he told her that his ability is to resurrect the dead, but here he has become some kind of spiritual ability? and he also directly hit the high demon at the beginning, dragging the enemy who is not good at frontal combat into a cruel white-knives battle, and directly laid the foundation for the subsequent victory.
But even so, this victory came so abruptly - in a battle that was far from being a tragic one, the High Demon simply fought with brute force, and did not use its natural power at all - although the previous fog came from a strange place, it didn't look like a complete ability, that is...... The white-haired and red-eyed killer may still have a hidden hand that can turn the tide of the battle and is not used.
It's just that...... Why doesn't it work?
Is it simply unusable, or is it discarded for some unspeakable reason?
Although there is no difference between the two in terms of the results, the symbolic meaning is very different: the former means that the demon's awakened talent is likely not to be effective on the spot, while the latter indicates that the enemy's death is most likely just a means to paralyze them, and the battle is far from over.
Which one will it be?
The girl couldn't be sure, at least, for a short time, and all she could do was think about it and raise her vigilance to the maximum.
But before she was sure, the accident happened.
Without a sound or warning, the glorious one fell headlong to the ground.
"Amy?" the sword-wielder had mixed feelings about the boy who took the surname Ulysses, on the one hand, he had proven himself to be a worthy partner in previous battles, and on the other hand, there were quite a few mysteries about this guy who claimed to have the ability to come back from the dead, and it was difficult for people to trust him wholeheartedly - but in any case, she couldn't turn a blind eye to him, "and conscious ......"
She omitted the next "?", because the answer had already appeared in front of her at this moment.
The young Glory Man didn't close his eyes, but his dark eyes were dim, and Mia couldn't even confirm that he was still alive if it weren't for the breath near his nose.
Curse?
The girl instinctively tilted her head.
Among the many innate powers of the High Demons, the curse is not a rare ability, or it is powerless before the battle, or it can cause headaches during the battle, or it can cause bad luck after the battle, and the vast majority of demons have the ability to curse humans, and a few of them even have the effect of forced instant death - although the activation conditions are quite harsh, and often only take effect after death, but once the curse is in effect, there is almost no chance of survival.
Is Amy: Is he facing this curse?
The sword-wielder is still uncertain.
The talents of demons are as strange as those of the Glory, and even though the Order's research on these Servants of Chaos has been very systematic and complete hundreds of years ago, there are still quite a few undiscovered talents being included every year, and quite a few new species are discovered—demons are like weeds in a field, cut stubble after stubble, and each stubble is not the same.
The only thing she knew for sure was that she had to find a way to help him.
There are professional spell solvers in the Order's headquarters, but the headquarters of such a precious talent will never be sent to the branch, even if the name of the city is Hemtika - now, she can only use the stupidest method.
That's the calling.
Call on the king's name.
This is a method that has been passed down among sword-wielders, but it is not without any basis - there has always been a consensus among scholars of the Order who specialize in the relationship between order and chaos that the biggest difference between order and chaos is not anything else, but the presence or absence of names.
The name is the oldest sealing technique in the world.
It distinguishes the named matter from the rest of the world—until there is no name, the world is just a blank mess until the All-Knowing and Almighty Lord, "Let there be light." ”
The ambiguous chaos is cut off at this moment, and the concept of "light" is separated from the chaos.
And so, there was light.
And the most powerful argument for this assertion is that everything in the world of order has a name, even the beast of six-six-six that ended Prometheus, after directly manifesting from chaos to the territory of order, was still given a name by the world, giving the title of "six-six-six" symbolizing the end, directly imprinting this concept in the heart of everyone who has seen it, and it cannot be forgotten no matter what.
The only thing in this world that cannot be named is blind and stupid chaos.
Despite being called "Chaos", it is simply a name for the unrecognizable and indescribable by humans, such as "that thing", "that guy", "someone", "something" and other ambiguous names.
Of course, this is just the conjecture of scholars, whether there is such a thing or not, Mia does not know, she only knows that this local method is indeed widespread among sword wielders, and can save the life of her companion at a critical moment - and that, and that's enough!
"Amy. The girl said in an inorganic tone.
But there was something wrong - she tilted her head and thought for a long time before she remembered the identity of the young glory, and added her surname after her name.
"Amy Ulysses. ”
However, the young Glory Man still looked like he was out of breath, and it seemed that this method did not have much effect.
Undeterred, however, the sword-wielder continued to repeat the name Amy Ulysses over and over again.
Perhaps something had changed during the erosion of the curse, or perhaps her methods had played a role, the Glory's slightly thin body in the darkness had suddenly spasmed as if it had been suddenly subjected to an electric shock, and although it had not fully regained consciousness, it would occasionally emit some meaningless words while spasming.
It's getting better, right?
Probably......
The girl tilted her head, and then continued to call the boy's name.
But the unexpected happened at this moment.
The Glorious One's eyes suddenly lit up, and he seemed to have been freed from the curse that had been placed on him, however...... The hideous look on his face, as well as the obvious malice in the dark pupils, made the sword wielder subconsciously take a step back, and backhand grasped the two-handed sword behind him.
"Amy?" she asked tentatively, ready to strike.
But the boy only let out an unconscious roar like a wounded beast.
Something is not good?
The girl maintained the action of drawing her sword and did not move, and her emerald green eyes were always focused on the body of the Glory, carefully alerting against the occurrence of abnormalities.
But...... Caught in a horrible state, Amy Ulysses showed no signs of aggression.
Instead, he had a frightened look on his face.
As if something unintelligible and unbelievable appeared in front of him, he sat on the ground and kept retreating, flustered like a recruit who saw blood for the first time in the war.
"Don't ...... Don't come here......" came out of his mouth a hoarse voice that was very different from the previous one, "what the hell are you...... What the hell is a monster......"
"Ahh
The Glory's eyes widened.
"-You monster! monster! monster!"
After talking about three monsters in a row, one of the pillars that supported the movement of this body suddenly collapsed, and the boy collapsed on the ground again like a snake without a skeleton, and even lost his voice for a while.
And breathing.
The sword-wielder sniffed and breathed a sigh of relief, but it was somewhat effective anyway.
Probably......
"Amy Ulysses. So, she called out again.
Unexpectedly, the boy responded—his eyes moved, and then he opened them, as if he had just woken up from a long sleep, and his consciousness was still a little hazy, but he instinctively looked at her and responded:
"Rice...... Ya?"
