Chapter 14: For Whom
The candles swayed in the night breeze, and an old man and a young boy sat cross-legged opposite each other, the two of them silent, only the whisper of the night wind lingering in their ears.
Charlotte lost count of how many conversations like this had taken place in the past three years, and the master seemed to be always busy with something during the day, and it was not until the evening that the master had time to teach himself.
But today Charlotte always felt that something was different, was the master getting older, or was there something wrong in the process of 'sealing'? Charlotte couldn't know what was going on in the master's heart.
Half a moment later, the old man in front of him finally opened his mouth to break the silence, and his hoarse voice was even more haggard than three years ago.
"Have you figured out the old man's proposal?" he said slowly, but with great solemnity.
Charlotte nodded, he had already made a decision in the past two years, and looked at the master with a determined gaze.
"I... It's decidedβ" The boy who looked no more than nine years old, mittenled out a language he wasn't familiar with, but his voice was full of determination.
The master sighed, as if he had let go of the burden in his heart, and as if he felt sad for the young man in front of him. In order to avoid the young man's gaze, he looked out the window at the pitch-black scene, and the two fell silent again.
β... After a long time, he turned his head to look at Charlotte, "To be honest, although you look young, you don't look like a nine-year-old boy at all."
... For decades, he searched for the answer, and today he finally has the opportunity to say it.
"Because I want to..."
"For whom do I want to die..."
......
The reflux of the elements flowed like thousands of tiny needles in the veins, and the pain kept hitting Charlotte's brain. He could only grit his teeth and warn himself to stay conscious, but he could only wait quietly.
"It turns out... Every month... Do you have to go through this horrible pain...?" he couldn't help but smile wryly.
[When the Five Elements Reincarnation Decision begins to go retrograde, every part of your body and every element in your cell will rush to your chest like crazy]
As if going back to seven years ago, the master warned Charlotte in an extremely heavy tone.
He looked down with great difficulty, looking at his body, countless colorful dots of fine light began to move from every corner of his body into his meridians, once he entered the meridians, these little bits of fine light gradually disappeared, turning into a golden-red liquid flowing along the meridians to the ring of the five elements on his chest.
From the face to the neck, or from the back of the hands to the arms, every part of the body is flowing with a golden-red liquid, as if the entire body is carved with a layer of golden-red carvings along the meridians.
[The five elements that were originally scattered in every part of your body that have been successfully transformed, they will begin to flow backwards, and they will be transformed back into 'demon fire' by the five elements again. Then they will start burning your meridians, everywhere, every moment...]
Cold sweat kept breaking out, and Charlotte had to close her eyes to feel the power pouring out and endure the endless pain caused by the 'demon fire' accumulated in the past seven years.
If it weren't for the two lives, he might not have the extra spiritual power to support him, and he couldn't help but think, is his spiritual power so strong because he has crossed the place?
It's a pity that the answer doesn't matter anymore.
[When the 'demon fire' accumulates in your chest to a certain extent, their consciousness will recover and begin to devour the remaining five elements under your body...]
Poof, a mouthful of blood spit out, and the golden red color in his body seemed to wake up, constantly hitting every inch of pores and blood vessels in Xia Luo's body.
A burning sensation emanated from the body, all the meridians seemed to be on fire, and all the water in the body was evacuated in an instant.
[You must know...'People' can't carry 'demon fire'...]
Consciousness is constantly being devoured, and the mind is in chaos.
[Once the Five Elements Reincarnation Decision begins to go retrograde...]
Charlotte began to be unable to think, and even began to forget her own name.
γ... No matter what you do, you can't stop...]
The whole brain is only a gray mess, and the pain sensation that constantly hits the brain.
['Demon Fire' will burn every drop of your blood...]
The blood in the body seemed to cease to exist, and every muscle in the body began to gradually fall into paralysis.
[It will burn every inch of your meridians...]
There's no way to know if the heart is beating or not.
[Even if you can miraculously survive...]
The only thing he could do was to try to hold his mind as steady as he could and not let himself and I fall into endless madness.
[You can only be an ordinary 'person' forever...]
It could be endless pain, or it could be your heart stopping.
[Unable to perform any combat skills, including the 'magic' of the West Pole...]
Charlotte's consciousness began to fade, and all consciousness seemed to fall silent.
[Because the elements of the world will no longer be moved by you, and will no longer be felt by you...]
... Even so, are you willing to extend your life?
[I'm afraid that the powerhouses of the god level will not be able to save you... Because they can't match the 'Demon Fire'...]
"Yes. β
[You can only be a more ordinary person than ordinary people...]
... Will you regret it?
['People'.] γ
"No regrets. β
......
The black-robed old man looked solemnly at the young man in front of him, with his high-level cultivation and years of experience, he could feel that Xia Luo's body was changing sharply at a terrifying speed, and he could even see with the naked eye that the meridians on his body were shining with golden-red energy, and a shadow began to envelop his entire body. The terrifying energy of the incomparably high temperature was accumulating and churning in his body.
Even the air around it was extremely dry.
I can't let the boy in front of me change again!
The black-robed old man, who was determined to kill, held the spear behind his back, and threw the spear with all his strength with a lunge. The sound of the dragon's roar echoed through the forest again.
The spear that transformed into a green dragon rushed towards Charlotte without hesitation, intending to pierce and tear apart his body.
But something strange happened, when the spear was about to penetrate Charlotte, three meters away, the transformed green dragon suddenly disappeared, leaving only a spear to fall weakly.
With a thud, the tip of the spear was stuck diagonally into the stone brick, and without warning it caught fire.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the old man immediately grabbed the void, and the spear appeared in his hand. He looked down and saw that the golden-red flames clinged to the spear, dancing strangely and gradually eating away.
"'Demon Fire'?!" The old man raised his head sharply and looked at the young man in front of him.
Charlotte quietly closed her eyes, her hands hanging limply, and stood motionless in the square.
It's like the calm before a storm.
But the old man felt that Xia Luo's sharp transformation was about to be completed, and ten thousand voices in his heart were frantically urging him to stop Xia Luo.
"God will come to earth!" he roared in a low voice, and cyan energy erupted from his body, encompassing his entire body.
The energy gradually began to transform, and a figure that was more than three meters tall became clearer and clearer.
In the end, the figure transformed by that energy was as powerful as a divine soldier, and the armor on its body carved thousands of lifelike green dragons soared in the sky.
Holding a peerless spear weapon wrapped around the living creature Qinglong, it coincided with the old man's figure movements.
The old man raised his spear to Charlotte, and the endless dragon roar was deafening.
In an instant, he vanished.
And in the next second, the old man had appeared in front of Xia Luo, and the tip of the spear was almost attached to Xia Luo's neck.
But his eyes revealed incomparable shock, incomparable horror.
Because Charlotte had already opened her eyes.
Staring at him quietly.
