Chapter 16: Is This the Grim Reaper?

After leaving the Fortress of Polux and entering the Principality of Light, North began to follow the official path in the direction of the Land of Chaos. Due to the large number www.biquge.info of people coming and going, North could only wait until evening to sign a contract with Ahriman. You can't be sloppy about signing a contract.

Therefore, with the crowd coming and going, North slowly advanced towards the interior of the Principality of Light. When choosing whether to go to the nearest city to rest or go straight to the Lands of Chaos, North chose to go straight to the Lands of Chaos. Because going to the Land of Chaos was not only his initial choice, but also gave him the opportunity to sign a contract with Ahriman as soon as possible.

As he walked along the road, North thought back to the day his teacher was going to teach him magic meditation. It was morning that day, and his teacher called him to his side and said to him, "North, I haven't taught you magic in two years, will you blame me?"

"No, how can you blame the teacher. I am very grateful to the teacher for accepting me as an apprentice......."

"Teacher, I can feel the elements of magic wandering around me. ”

Hearing North's words, Eisende was very happy, he didn't expect North to be so talented, "You look at what element is the most magical element around you, and then absorb it into your body and mark it." ”

Hearing his teacher's words, North looked around him a little speechlessly, the various magical elements floating around him were all the same distance from him, and North didn't know whether to absorb that kind of magic element into his body.

Looking at the magical elements as far away as himself, North could only experiment one by one, so North experimented with one magic element and one magic element after another, absorbing them into his body.

But after North absorbed the four magic elements into his body in turn, North was a little discouraged, he opened his eyes and said helplessly to his teacher, "Teacher, I can't absorb the magic elements into my body." ”

"What, how could it be, you're absorbing that element. Essende was taken aback when he heard North's words, because, according to North's talent, such a thing could not have happened.

"Teacher, I have absorbed all four elements in one stool, but none of them will remain in my body, and I cannot mark my element. ”

"What, the four elements, didn't I tell you to absorb the nearest magic element into your body? ”

Hearing North's words, Eisende felt a little angry, and he was angry at North's disobedience. But he still couldn't understand why he couldn't even keep a single magical element in his body. Even the magic elements with the lowest affinity can be absorbed into the body, but it may be less efficient at that time.

"But Teacher, they're as far away from mine, so I'm going to absorb them all. North heard that the teacher seemed to be a little angry, and told his teacher the reason for doing so.

"The distance is the same, how can it be the same? ”

Seeing his teacher thinking, North was a little frustrated, he didn't know if he couldn't become a magician, he was afraid that his teacher would not want him as an apprentice.

After thinking for a while, Eisende saw that North was thinking, so he said to North, "Don't think about it, I can't figure out why this is happening, but it's only temporary, and I'll find the reason." ”

Hearing his teacher's words, North was still a little down, after all, he had no way to absorb the magic element. That meant he couldn't become a magician, so he was sad.

"Got it, teacher. ”

"You remember, don't relax. You can't absorb the magic elements right now, but you can familiarize yourself with them. Once I've figured out why this is happening, you'll be able to absorb the magic element. You can't be lazy in the days I'm away, you know?"

"Teacher, are you leaving? "North was sad to hear his teacher say it was time to leave, and he thought that his teacher didn't want to be his apprentice anymore.

"Well, I'll go back for a few days and look through some information, which I can't bring out. However, you don't have to worry, no matter whether I find the reason or not, I will come back, and you can't forget Master. Eisende explained to North in order not to let North think nonsense.

"I see, teacher. I'm going to try, I'm going to meditate. ”

After Eisende left, North was saddened and absorbed all the magical elements he could see as he meditated. But there was no element of magic that he could absorb.

He was in a depressed mood. He couldn't understand why, his teacher said that he was a natural magician, but why these magical elements just didn't want to stay in his body and become his magic.

It's been so long now, and he's meditating every day, and it's not without effect. After so much meditation and experimentation, he can now control the magical elements a little and let them converge with some simple means.

For example, let the fire elemental converge into flames, and let the water elemental converge into water, but you can't make them turn into offensive magic. And as long as the gathered flames are thrown out, the flames will immediately disintegrate into the fire element, and there is no trace of power at all.

North didn't understand why this was happening, he couldn't even absorb the magic elements, but he could bring them together. Even if you can't absorb magic elements, as long as you can use magic, why don't the magic elements gathered have any power at all?

As North pondered, time slowly passed. It's getting late afternoon and the sun is about to set. North decided to rest in the woods first, and he wanted to prepare for the contract with Ahriman later.

North sat by the prepared fire and meditated quietly, this time ordinary meditation, not magic meditation. After meditating to adjust his spirit, North signed a contract with Ahriman.

However, he was a little afraid, because he was afraid that he would not be able to make a contract with North, just as he did during magical meditation. He was a little scared, and that's why he kept pushing back, he was scared, he was afraid to be hurt again.

However, in the end, North decided to give it a try, otherwise he would not be reconciled, really unwilling. Even if he gets hurt again, he will try to see if he can sign a contract with Ahriman.

Feeling that his spirit had returned to his best, North stood up, and as Ahriman had said, he put the index finger and middle finger of his right hand together, the thumb against the middle of the middle finger, and the ring and little fingers in a fist shape, with the palm facing inward in front of his chest. Then, recite the mantra.

"Follow the ancient vows, pass through the obstacles of time and space, and then make a promise with me to live this life, accompany me through the wonders of this life, and the mysterious king of life and death, Ahriman, the god of death, comes to me, fights side by side with me, appear, my companion, and make a contract. ”

As North gently chanted the incantation, the dark elements gradually converged around North, more and more. The dark elements quickly converged in front of North, and the dark elements within a radius of a kilometer instantly appeared in the air, and then all converged from where North was.

The dark element forms strands of black ribbons in the air, and people are very frightened to see the black ribbons floating in the air. There had never been such a large-scale gathering of dark elements in the Holy Light Principality, and the convergence of dark elements alarmed the bishops in the Holy Light Temple in the nearby city, and they were all rushing to this side.

In front of North, the dark elements converged into a two-meter-diameter mist, and when North's spell ended, the black fog suddenly contracted inward, and then suddenly exploded.

Originally, when North saw the magic elements gathered around him with the spell he thought, North was very happy, and he thought that he could finally use the spell to gather magic elements, which meant that he could still become a magician, but when he saw the fog suddenly explode, North's heart instantly fell to the bottom.

At this moment, out of the exploding fog came a short skeleton, about one meter two, with a round skull head. When it saw North, it quickly ran towards North, but just two steps away, three ribs fell off, and then the little skeleton stopped, looked at the ribs on the ground, scratched its head with the skeleton hand with only three phalanges left, and then picked up the ribs and inserted them back into his abdominal cavity.

North was completely dumbfounded at what he had summoned, this is the Grim Reaper?
