Chapter 558: Life and Death Coexist

When the mission was completed, the angels also left, leaving only Leonas and a remnant of rock and a wall of frozen desert.

Leonas was glad that although he didn't know why, the female angel did not continue to ask about Elsa's identity, and the Karlsemon Imperial mage holding Aisha looked at the cute sleeping face of the elf girl in his arms with a melancholy expression, and the expression on the mage's face changed several times at this moment. Everything that happened today was caused by this child, and after seeing the power beyond the world, the mage not only wondered, but was the power in Aisha really something that the Karlser Empire could covet?

As the privilege of being able to meet the messenger of the gods and receive the gift of the gods, perhaps the believers who believe in the teachings of the Holy See will cry with joy and regard it as the greatest honor of their lives, but Leonas, who is not even a believer, can only sigh infinitely, and after witnessing the angels flying towards the gap in the light that divides the sky, the mage finally sprang into action and began to use the communication magic to try to notify the garrisons in the cities near the valley.

Fortunately, not long after the angels left, Entesius and the others, who had been in a coma, slowly woke up, looking at the terrible sight in front of them, the earth frozen in ice and snow and the density of the water element that subverted the common sense of magic, these geniuses from the Tower of the Sages who thought they were at the forefront of magical knowledge and theory fell into a strange silence one by one. It's no wonder that these mages, who usually think highly of themselves, have understood one thing today, they once thought that they were high-level mages and had stood above ten thousand people, but today in the face of the dragon's unreasonably powerful power, everything they had learned was meaningless.

Whether it is the flames that can burn the soldiers in armor to ashes, the cold air that freezes into ice cubes, or even the thunder and lightning that penetrate everything, they can't cause any damage to the black dragon, and all they can do in front of the black dragon is to run away in embarrassment. The soldiers and attendants killed by the black dragon who were usually regarded as mortals by themselves were actually no different from them in the eyes of the black dragon.

Only the female mage named Tenaya could compete with the black dragon, and such a mage had already surpassed the magic level of at least twenty levels, which was a height that many old mages could never climb again in their lifetimes.

Entesius also watched everything silently, and at this moment Entesius suddenly remembered something, which was the strongest mage in the Sage's Tower, and the only recognized archmage on the continent with a level 20 magic level Faroen said.

You don't know how small you are. Your self-righteous power is just a phantom bubble in the face of true and absolute power!!'

These were the words of Archmage Farron after returning to the Tower of the Sages at the end of his journey, when the Archmage, as if stimulated by something, began to stop de-escalating the situation, and began to suppress the reformers on his side with an unimaginable hard-line attitude, and eventually the entire reformers were forcibly expelled from the Tower of the Magos.

At that time, Entehuus simply ignored Farron's words, believing that the old mage was just a hidden act by virtue of his high reputation and reputation, and that he had the support of the people and the support of many young mages and apprentices in the Tower of the Sage. Even after being expelled from the Tower of the Sages and facing a series of difficulties, Entehues still believes that sooner or later he will be able to re-establish his own new Tower of the Sages, and as long as he can firmly control public opinion, then everything can be recaptured.

But today Enthuus seems to have somewhat realized the meaning of Farron's words. The so-called absolute power turned out to be so terrifying, so arrogant and unreasonable, but it made people have to bow their heads.

The Karls-Timon Empire is the strongest empire in the eastern part of the continent, and after ending the war with the lord country, it has deservedly become the first power in the east, both economically and militarily, but this empire that has made the countries in the eastern part of the continent afraid of three points must be dealt with carefully, the black dragon does not need to scruple about anything at all, ignores any rules, and directly breaks into this important territory of the empire. And then to cause so much damage with impunity, that is, in the face of absolute power, all rules and laws are bubbles. No conspiracy or conspiracy can be accomplished under the absolute power gap.

For a moment, Enteus couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the Grand Magister Farron had also encountered something beyond the worldly power during his travels, otherwise how could the old magician suddenly have a temperament and become much more open-minded all of a sudden.

"Let's go, the nearby garrison will meet us outside the valley, get out of here quickly and quickly return to the imperial capital to report the situation. Leonas, who was holding Elsa, shouted to several mages. I've just contacted the garrisons in a nearby city.

Due to the special situation, Leonas only asked the garrison to meet his group outside the valley, and at the same time, in order to block the news, Leonas used the right given by Prince Augusta to ask the garrison to temporarily block any road into the valley, and whoever trespassed without permission could directly execute them on the spot.

As they left, some of the mages noticed Elsa in Leonas' arms, but no one asked much, and for some special reason Leonas didn't say anything about the angel's arrival.

At the same time, it is located in the heavenly realm. The goddess Ishtar, who represents the roots of faith in the eastern part of the continent, is gently caressing the staff that has been sent back to the realm by Fioya, and every time the goddess's beautiful fingers gently touch the handle, the staff stirs up a burst of black and white light.

The holiness of life and the ominousness of death, two diametrically opposed breaths spread back and forth in this divine realm full of divine power, whenever the breath of life is activated, the female holy face will always show a smile of relief, but whenever the breath of death is activated, as a representative of light, life, order, hope and other beautiful entrustment of the world, the goddess of Ishtar does not have any disgust, on the contrary, the goddess feels extremely happy that the two breaths of death and life can complement each other and the cycle of life.

"The precept of life and death┉┉Death is new life, and new life is accompanied by death, just like the cycle of life and death like the rising sun and the setting of the moon, on the surface, it seems that the two seem to be opposed to each other, but in fact life and death are interdependent forces, without new life there is no death, and without death there will be no new life. ”

In the realm of the gods, the beautiful eyes of the goddess Ishtar revealed a strange look of joy, the precept of life and death, as a quasi-holy staff, may be a very powerful weapon in the eyes of mortals and even in the eyes of some transcendents, but for the gods, it should only be regarded as a pretty good mortal thing, as a powerful god with the faith of the entire eastern continent and any of the five Zhigao gods that the Holy Capital believes in.

There are too many such powerful holy relics in the divine domain of Ishtar, just like the staff in the hand of the female angel Fioya who came before, it is also a powerful holy object that has received the blessing of divine power, and in terms of strength, it is still above the precept of life and death, and the goddess herself also holds a more powerful artifact than the holy relic, but at this moment, Ishtar's expression is gently touching the staff as if he is caressing his favorite lover.

"The posthumous work of the former undead mentor Aetholos, this staff made for his own small wish to try to peek into the boundary between life and death┉┉But even if he can open the door of truth, if he stops and dares to stand outside and watch, what is the difference between this and those apprentices who are new to necromancy. Ishtar's eyes were full of regret.

"But I have to say that it is really commendable for a mortal to come this far, but it is a pity that if I had the courage to make up my mind earlier, I might have been able to help him go further. ”

The voice of the goddess, like her holiness, made the listener feel a strange warmth, but there was a kind of regret in the tone, as if she was distressed by the timidity of the former undead teacher in his last steps.

"Did you say so?"

Suddenly, the goddess Lianbu moved lightly to the edge of the pool, looked at the reflection in the water, and asked softly.

However, the reflection in the water in the pool of this divine domain is not a holy goddess, with a similar face carved out of the same mold, the same beauty to the point of suffocation, but the reflection in the water is like a trapped fallen goddess, arms and feet are tightly bound by golden chains through the bones, and the naked and beautiful carcass is covered with dark green strange symbols giving people an alternative evil beauty. However, the fine sweat spread all over her body, she seemed to endure intense pain, and in the reflection of 'Ishtar' was also looking at her other self, and her originally holy eyes were full of pain and curse chaos, and mortals might collapse their souls even if they looked at it slightly.

"After all, a mortal can understand the truth, and you are completely confused, self-righteous that you can dominate death, but in reality you may not even know what death is, or even what you are, and why you exist in this world. ”

Ishtar looked at his reflection and lifted the staff to the water: "Look, even as a god I have things that I can't understand, but a mortal who has used his wisdom to answer my doubts for thousands of years, as a god, I am also not complete, and I am also a flawed existence that needs to constantly absorb more strength, wisdom, and experience to make up for these defects, do you think that you yourself are perfect?"

In the reflection, Ishtar looked at his other self, and finally his red lips rose lightly and said in a hoarse voice full of resentment: "You are killing yourself, do you really think you can become a perfect existence?"

"If you are afraid and timid, you will bring about your own destruction┉┉"

"I will corrupt your Ishtar, and everything you have will become bait for death!"

"I wouldn't regret it even if it did, at least I tried and challenged. ”

With a slight smile, Ishtar stood up and slowly left, and the reflection in the water was re-sealed by the departure of the goddess. (To be continued......)
