Sbenjamin had never seen Miles react to such a large degree.

"This sword...... Do you know what it's for?" he asked, looking at Miles, who had quickly come up, with a puzzled frown.

"Of course I do. Miles said slowly in a calm voice, "The legendary holy sword, an artifact given by God to the two brothers Cain and Abel, has the power to purify all curses in the world. ”

Benjamin shrugged his shoulders undeniably.

"It's both a god and a legend, and you believe in it?"

Maybe it's because it's too badly damaged, from this broken sword, Benjamin didn't see what the artifact level should look like. There is a lot of spiritual power gathered in the sword, which can keep the corpse fresh, and other than that, there seems to be nothing special.

Mainly...... The broken sword gave him a rather eerie feeling, not like a treasure given by some god.

"I'm not religious, but I believe that everything has its origins. Miles said solemnly, "Give it to me." I entered the valley of God's forsaken for it. ”

"Okay. ”

Hearing this, Benjamin shook his head helplessly and threw the broken sword to Miles.

There was an agreement before he came in, and he definitely couldn't break the contract. And although the broken holy sword sounded very powerful, he didn't know how to use it, and the strange spiritual power inside the broken sword also made him feel hairy in his heart.

He had confirmed that the "spiritual radiation" released by the broken sword would not hurt people, but he still felt that this sword was strange, so he simply gave it to Miles - people's attitudes were obsessed with this.

However, to his surprise, Miles took the sword and did not hesitate to draw a bloody mark on his arm with the edge of the broken sword.

This is...... Blood sacrifice?

"What are you doing?" asked Benjamin.

Miles looked at the blood slowly oozing from his wound, and was silent for a few moments before replying, "Lift the curse." ”

Benjamin subconsciously asked, "What curse?"

Miles, however, kept his mouth shut and did not speak.

As blood oozed out, he stared at his arm, like a terminally ill patient waiting for a doctor's verdict. The atmosphere was inexplicably heavy.

When Benjamin saw this, he couldn't help but feel confused.

It seems like...... Didn't you react?

Miles just took the broken sword and slashed it on his arm, and a lot of blood flowed out, but the broken sword did not shine because of this, and the spiritual power contained in it did not change at all.

"That...... Do you really know how to use this sword?" asked Benjamin again.

Miles took a deep breath and didn't speak, but there was a terrible paranoia in his eyes. At that moment, he raised the broken sword again, and the momentum of that force was quite terrifying, as if he had to make a few more cuts on himself.

Benjamin hurriedly walked over and grabbed his raised right hand, intending to stop this senseless act of self-harm.

What are you kidding? Even if it's a drop of blood, there's no such drop, right?

At first, Miles even wanted to push Benjamin away, determined to harm himself. Benjamin could only barely calm him down by landing a knee on his stomach first.

"What the hell is the curse that you have to use a knife to dismantle yourself? calm down!" Benjamin admonished, holding him on.

"You ......" Miles bent over, clutching his stomach and glaring at Benjamin.

The knee just now was still quite heavy, there was no way, Miles, as a professional mercenary with strong physical fitness, Benjamin would definitely not dare to have reservations in the face of him.

"If you really want to hurt yourself, I can't stop you. Benjamin shook his head and continued, "But you...... But what the hell are you up to? Is self-harm fun? What about lifting the curse? And what's the sword about? You'd better explain it to me, or I'll destroy it." ”

Miles was silent for a long time, shook his head, and suddenly threw the broken sword aside, covering his face and slumped on the ground.

Benjamin had never seen Miles look so desperate.

"So...... Are you talking about a curse like yours that is immune to all magic?" he asked, tentatively.

Miles was silent again. But in the end, he nodded.

"You can treat him as a curse when he is rejected by the elements, but this is also the most unique talent!" Benjamin couldn't understand it at all, and hurriedly persuaded, "It's too late for others to envy you, why are you in a hurry to get rid of it?"

"That's because you don't understand the cost. After a moment's hesitation, Miles finally opened his mouth and said, "You...... Have you ever heard of the Abyss Trial?"

Benjamin frowned.

"What's that?"

Miles took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and said slowly: "In an underground cave where you can't see your fingers, in the whole two months, only one of the six brothers and sisters can get out alive. And when he came out, he pierced his heart with the fangs of the Flame Beast and drank the blood of the Serpent of Nothingness. If he had miraculously survived, he would have been rejected by this world for carrying the sin of cannibalism, and he would have received this lingering curse. ”

Hearing this, Benjamin couldn't help but show a stunned expression.

This is...... What is the so-called method of cultivating the Demon Immunity Physique?

Benjamin had no idea how this process worked. It sounds like the most primitive superstitious ingredient, and it has nothing to do with regular magic and elements.

Do you do that and you're immune to all magic? Really?

It's just that, in the face of a desperate Miles, he really can't ask these questions.

"You ......"

"That's right. Miles, however, seemed to know what he was going to ask, nodded his head, and said, "I killed five of my other brothers with my own hands and ate their flesh. Without that, I wouldn't have survived, there was nothing in that cave. At first, everyone would comfort each other and swear that they would never cooperate with the abyss trial. But it didn't take a few days...... As they said the most righteous words, the stones in their hands also smashed towards the back of each other's heads. ”

Benjamin got goosebumps when he heard this.

"Why are you doing this?"

"If we don't, our father will kill us all. Miles seemed to calm down, just a little too much, like an old man about to lie in a coffin, "Actually, the guilt of fratricide didn't even show up much in that cave. After all, someone else is sneaking up on you, you're sneaking up on someone else, everything is natural, and no one feels wrong. ”

"But...... Isn't your father a knight in the kingdom of Hori?" asked Benjamin, remembering what Miles had said in the cemetery.

"Yes. Miles said coldly, "It's just that as a knight, maybe his career was too unsuccessful, so he focused all his energy on how to raise a guilty man." ”

Benjamin still doesn't quite understand.

"Anyway, that's too extreme, isn't it?"

"You should take it to him and say it. Miles let out a cold snort and said, "However, he is also long dead, and it is useless to say anything." ”

Benjamin asked again, "Your father...... What is he paying so much for?"

"Maybe it's revenge. Miles's tone sounded particularly cold, "His father was once a paladin, died at the hands of a mage, and was disgraced by his failure to carry out orders, and even the church stripped his father of his paladin's name after his death. Therefore, he hated all the mages under the heavens. And he himself is incompetent enough, which is why he wants to use me to take revenge on all the mages. ”

Benjamin couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this.

Who are these people?

He never expected that Miles would have such a life experience. fratricidal, cannibalism, family hatred...... On the former nonchalant face, Benjamin could not see a trace at all.

And what kind of abyss trial, this is raising Gu, right?

He had a lot of questions about this method, but he really didn't want to ask any more.

"That's all in the past, and you didn't do it voluntarily, so there's no need to blame yourself for it. Benjamin reassured, "This gift, of course, bears a great deal of sin, but ...... There's nothing wrong with the talent itself, since you can't get rid of it, then accept it, use it, and let yourself live well. ”

"I understand. Miles lowered his head and was silent for a long time before he spoke, "I also want to live well, but the monsters cultivated by the Abyss Trial can only live until they are twenty-eight years old. ”

At this, he took a deep breath, looked at Benjamin with empty eyes, and continued, "I only have three years left. ”
