Chapter 6: Existence Beyond Knowing (2)
Ancient Will...... Although he is not a magician specializing in the study of ancient magic, as a professor at the Heliryoaks School of Magic, Professor Hodd knows more or less about the ancient will.
Will, which refers to memories that cannot be tampered with or controlled, or ways of thinking, or fragments of the soul, that exist eternally in the eternal lower dimensional worlds, changing the world we inhabit in some unknown way.
Of course, the soul in question is not the soul of a human being, and the soul of a human being is too thin and weak to exist forever in its own power.
It is well known that the dark magicians are a non-deity group of people who believe that the legends of the gods are absurd and unfounded, but they also admit that there may have been an incomparably powerful force in the long course of history, and this power has balanced the world.
But in a way, the Will is closer to the origin of the world, Chaos, and there was once a magician who used a method similar to a hierarchical tree to distinguish parallel spaces.
As the original world, Chaos belongs to the zero dimension, it may be smaller than a grain of dust, but perhaps, it contains all the matter of the whole world, and in this world, there is no other matter and life.
Including energy, this is an absolutely forbidden, eternal and unchanging world.
After the zero dimension, the world derives a straight line of the world from a single origin, which can be seen as the process of world derivation, and similarly, there is no life in the first dimension, but as the substance that most constitutes the basic world is born here, and [element] is one of them.
After the first dimension, the world lines that make up the world expand from straight lines to planes, which is the second dimension, which can be seen as the process of transformation from [elements] to [matter], for example, from a single earth element to earth, rocks, and so on.
The three dimensions that follow can be truly called space, and the three vector units of length, width, and height that make up space are finally complete, but they do not contain the attenuation of energy, so the three-dimensional can also be called [absolutely forbidden space], from which the first life was born and converged, for example, the ancient will...... The next four dimensions are the most basic world we live in, and the attenuation of energy is added to the three vector units of length, width, and height.
As far as human beings know, the fifth dimension, that is, the five-dimensional space, contains almost all existence, whether it is the three vector units of length, width, and height that make up space, or the decay of energy, or the new vector unit of world-derived velocity.
As beings born in the Absolutely Forbidden Space, humans are accustomed to define them as gods, because they will never be bound by time, and from another point of view, their energy will not increase or decay for eternity, in other words, they are eternal beings.
It is worth mentioning that this is the reason why Gangaro and Van Zhuo vampires are beings who violate the laws of the world: they are beings born in the four-dimensional world, but they can have eternal and immortal lives like gods. But at the end of the day, they are just infinitely close to eternal existence, and they can still be killed.
But the gods are different, they are eternal in the third dimension, and they are not affected by the decay of energy at all.
Although the white mages of Salonia strongly oppose the definition of gods by dark mages in this way, in a sense, [will] is a god-like being, they can be seen as a collection of countless ideas, ways of thinking, or powers and elements, and when they have powerful existential power to derive wisdom, they can be called "gods"!
This is the conclusion of the nature of the world that the dark magician who is closest to the gods.
Therefore, when Professor Hodd heard the words "Ancient Will" from Argus's mouth, he was a little unable to react for a while, because the Ancient Will is the [Great Will] formed by the convergence of countless [wills], and from a certain point of view, it is similar to the existence of gods...... No, they are "gods" in a certain sense, although they may subvert the understanding of countless people, but "gods" in the usual sense are just a general term for "powerful eternal beings".
For example, the phantom itself, which is now unmistakably revealed in front of Professor Hodd, can be regarded as a god who controls ** by the ancient will formed by countless greed and **.
"How could it be ......" Looking at the huge phantom behind Argus, Professor Hodd couldn't believe it, although he already knew that there was a very powerful existence behind Argus, but he never thought it was a [god], he thought it was just a relatively powerful demon.
"Is that unbelievable?" said Argus with a hearty smile, wiping the blood from his mouth with the back of his hand, and with a somewhat playful smile, "You were the first to see it, Hodd Kendi!—even in the battle with the Great Magician, I didn't use this power, and you can be proud of it!"
Listening to Argus's mocking words, Professor Hodder snorted coldly, looked at the huge phantom, frowned, and said, "What are you kidding!—that guy is a god? Are you insulting my knowledge?"
"Hmm, so you know?" Argus was slightly stunned, then shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "The professors at Reochs are really not ordinary, they even know things like the Ancient Will...... That's fine, I'll explain more. You can't defeat me, because I'm behind my back...... It's God!"
Looking at Argus quietly, Professor Hodd shook his head slightly, and said flatly, "It's ridiculous!—it's just a phantom that can't even be constructed physically, and you say it's a god, you're really crazy, Argus!"
"What, you don't know!" Argus shook his head and sighed with a look of disappointment in his eyes, "I thought we could have some equal conversation...... I'm so disappointed, Hodd Kendi, you have only opened the door to the world, but you have not yet taken that step. ”
"What do you mean?" Professor Hodd asked, frowning.
"Don't you know that God and the world we live in are two different worlds, and the world in which God lives is much older and purer than the world we live in, and although it can interfere with us, we cannot come directly to this world, and if we want to come to this world, we must rely on some medium...... Completely crossing the dimension and breaking the barrier of space is not something that can be done simply!"
"Really?"
"Of course," Argus smiled slightly, glanced at the sky, and said calmly, "Those great beings must come to this world in two ways: one is to temporarily come to this world through the host's body, but that is meaningless at all, not only is its own power limited by this world, but once the host dies, the connection that has been established with this time will completely collapse......
"Like you are now?" Professor Hodd asked with a frown.
Argus was slightly silent and did not answer Professor Hodd's question, and continued, " And the second way is to completely dimensional, but the law of this world stipulates that when crossing the dimension, you need to give up most of your power to adapt to the system of this world, even if it is a god, after crossing the dimension and coming to this world, his own power will be attenuated by the influence of time, and he will not be able to exist forever at all, this is the basic law of the world, which cannot be changed, so it is necessary to open the channel of the dimensional space through some ways through the medium I just mentioned......"
"Passage?"
"Yes, replace your own consumption with powerful and pure energy to enter this world...... In other words, what you see now is just a projection, not all ......," Argus said, glancing at Professor Hodd, seeing that there was still a deep distrust in his eyes, shook his head and sighed, "The limitations of your mind make it impossible for you to accept all of this in its entirety...... It's a pity, Hed Kendi, you may be called the most powerful human being, but you are only a human being, ignorant and ignorant, you don't know anything about the higher beings......" At this point, he let out a long sigh, looking at his expression, it was not pretending, but really disappointed.
"Ignorance or ignorance, don't worry about that," Professor Hodd said in a deep voice, pointing at Argus, "the only thing I want to do now is to kill you!"
"Oh, what a terrible killing intent," Argus chuckled as he covered his forehead and then looked at Professor Hodd and laughed at himself, "It's ironic to be hurt to such an extent by a human like you, something that even those two old guys can't do!"
Hearing the old guy's three words, Professor Hodd's eyes showed a thick anger, and just as he wanted to make a move, Argus in the distance suddenly raised his right hand.
"Wait," Raising his right hand to stop Professor Hodd, Argus pointed to his tired and badly injured self and smiled, "If I continue to fight like this, I'm afraid even I will die......"
"Huh?" said Professor Hodder, who was stunned and frowned in disbelief, "You don't want me to let you go, do you?—that would disappoint me!"
"Oh, yes, it's been slighted," said Argus, smiling self-deprecatingly, as Argus glanced at Professor Hodd and playfully said, "I won't let you down!—the end is already doomed, but as a reward for your courage, how about I show you the power of God?"
"God's power?" Professor Hodd's eyes showed some surprise.
"No, no, no," Argus shook his finger and chuckled as if reading through Professor Hodd's thoughts, "It's not the kind of boring talk that destroys the world, it's just a legend to deceive ignorant imps, you don't even believe it, do you?"
"Are you ......" Professor Hodd frowned, looking at Argus's confident and calm appearance, and couldn't help but feel a little curious in his heart, and whispered, "What's that?"
"It's a force that humans can't understand!" Argus took a deep breath, and when he looked up again, a faint red appeared on the surface of the pupils of his eyes, and at the same time, the phantom behind him opened a pair of identical pale red eyes.
What kind of eyes were they, as if they were magical, Professor Hodd couldn't take his eyes off with his own power, and suddenly, he felt that his surroundings had dimmed for a moment, enveloped in endless darkness, and those increasingly large pale red eyes seemed to become the whole world.
Professor Hodd couldn't help but feel a trance, and when he came back to his senses, he saw Argus looking at him with a strange smile.
"Illusion?" Professor Hodd raised his guard for the first time, but to his surprise, Argus did not make any unusual moves, just looked at himself quietly.
"Illusions, no, no, that's not illusions," Argus asked playfully, shaking his head, "I could have killed you all at once, but I said I wanted to show you the power of God as a reward for your courage!"
Turning his head to look at his surroundings and seeing that he was still by a certain river outside of Sassen City, Professor Hodd frowned and said with a sneer, "How dare you say that your so-called [divine power] is that ridiculous illusion just now?"
"It's really ignorant and ignorant," Argus sighed and shook his head, then raised his right hand and looked at the two clusters of jumping flames above his fingers, and said lightly, "Illusion is just a trick used to deceive other creatures, so don't mix the power of the gods with illusion!" he said, glancing at Professor Hodd and asking with a playful smile, "Speaking of which, what did you just see?" from the pupils of those gods......
"......" Professor Hodd opened his mouth and lowered his head slightly, with a somewhat incredulous expression, as if remembering something.
He said that human beings are actually the most evil creatures in the world, living for all kinds of **, money, power, status, vanity, ......" He said, he raised his right hand, looked at the two clusters of turquoise flames jumping above his fingers, and said lightly, "You are the same, Hodd Kendi!"
Looking at the two flames, Professor Hodd suddenly had a very strange thought, as if he was peeking into the strange feeling in his own heart.
"**, it is inevitable for all living things," Glancing at Professor Hodd, Argus flicked his right hand slightly, only to see the two clusters of turquoise flames slowly drift to the ground, and after a burst of breath, they gradually formed two figures.
"How...... Perhaps?!" Looking at the two figures, Professor Hodd's eyes widened, as if he had been slapped with a stick, and he took two steps back.
The two figures, one of whom seemed to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, always had his eyebrows furrowed and his eyes always filled with hatred, while the other was a twenty-five or sixteen young man, and the hatred in his eyes disappeared compared to that of a young man, and was replaced by a desire for something.
But the incredible thing is that those two people have the exact same appearance as Professor Hodd.
"Illusion?" Professor Hodd subconsciously looked left and right, then at the sneering Argus, raised his head and pointed at the two men and shouted, "Who are you?"
"Hodd ......"
"Kendi!" said the teenager and the youth in unison.
"How is that possible?!" Professor Hodd looked at the two men in amazement, he didn't feel any fluctuations in Argus's magic to cast illusions, but if it wasn't illusions, how could it explain what was happening?
What made him even more concerned was that looking at those two people, Professor Hodd had the illusion of looking at himself.
Glancing at Professor Hodd, whose expression had changed drastically, Argus smiled happily, waved his finger and said, "What's the matter, Hodd Kendi, can't understand what he sees? Illusion? No, no, no, it's not such a boring trick, magic, in the final analysis, is just the power to deceive the world, but magic itself is also bound by the world, and only the power of God can be exempt from the constraints of the laws of the world!―― But speaking of which, you are indeed an upright person, which is really amazing, and I wanted you to understand the power of God more intuitively, but ...... Forget it, two are enough!--thank me for giving you a chance to face your true self!"
Looking at the two men with solemn expressions, Professor Hodd frowned and asked, "What do you mean?!"
"What do you mean, haven't you already guessed it?" said Argus, smiling playfully as he pointed to the boy and youth, "They seem to be very unhappy with you!"
As if in response to Argus's words, the juvenile version of Professor Haud took a step forward, raised his hand and pointed at Professor Hodder, and said in a slightly immature voice, "What are you doing, Hodd!"
Listening to the extremely familiar voice in his memory, Professor Hodd's whole body seemed to be shaken, and he muttered, "What...... What to do?"
"I ask you what you're doing!" said young Hod, who looked very bad-tempered, with a somewhat violent look on his face, "Shouldn't your enemy be Salonia, killing those damned fellows to avenge the mentor is what we should do, not in such a boring place!"
"Hey, what kind of boring duel ......" Argus said helplessly with a pretentious wry smile on his face, "If you say that, I'll have a headache!"
I saw the young man Huo De turn his head and say coldly to Argus, "I didn't talk to you, shut up!"
"Hey......" Argus said with an interesting smile on his face, looking at the sluggish Professor Hodd, "Oh, it seems that you were very rebellious in your youth, what a surprise to me!"
"Outsiders don't interject me!" roared the young man Hod, vaguely intent on a big fight, Argus shrugged and took a few steps back, spreading his hands to indicate that he would not intervene.
"Isn't that right?" "Don't you forget, the Mentor is like his own child, teaching us magic and teaching us life, but the Mentor we so beloved was killed by those damned Salonians, didn't we once swear revenge?!
"I'm ......" Professor Hodder's expression was a little overwhelmed.
"Sure enough, you've forgotten, I'm so disappointed!" Young Huo De's eyes showed a deep disappointment, and on his raised right hand, the rich fire element was gathered like a whirlpool.
And at this moment, the youth version of Professor Hodd reached out and pressed the right hand of the young Hodd, and said lightly, "Well, we have to give a chance to explain!" As he spoke, he looked up at Professor Hodder, smiled and said, "Yo, Hodd!—look at your expression, you seem to be confused, isn't it strange to be called like that?"
"......" Professor Hodd opened his mouth, but didn't make a sound.
"Don't you speak, when did it become so boring?" the young man shrugged his shoulders and laughed at himself, and then the smile on his face gradually retracted, and said in an unusually serious tone, "Hate or something, it doesn't matter...... Shut up, little ghost, but people should always have their own pursuits, right? We swore to be a powerful magician, right? Let those who look down on us realize their mistakes...... The grocery store owner's child, it doesn't matter!--Hey, you won't forget, will you?"
“......”
"Tsk!" Looking at Professor Huo De and pursing his lips, the young Huo De sneered and said, "I appreciate this realization very much at the cost of some of my own life to gain great strength, but you have gone too far, haven't you? Old dean, old dean, from what point to start, that old guy is more important than our own life? He just took a hand when you needed help, and you have worked for him under him for more than ten years, so you should have paid it off a long time ago, right?" Wouldn't it be more promising for us to stay in Vander after marrying his granddaughter, and one day we could be great people to be admired...... But what have you done? for the boring hatred of the boring little devil next to me, so desperate for great power, that the soul is wounded, and maybe you will not be able to become a great magician in this life...... Shut up, little ghost!—and now, repeating my mistake again for the sake of that old fellow...... Revenge on that Argus man is really more serious than making those who look down on us realize their mistakes? If you say yes, then I think I need to make you reacquainted!"
Listening to the sound of the bear, the bodies of the young Huo De and the young Huo De gushed with powerful magic power, and the fire element they could control was on par with Professor Huo De.
"Your mission is revenge! Forget revenge, you don't need to exist at all!"
"There's no need for revenge or anything, but you've forgotten our quest, I'm so disappointed!"
The violent teenager Hodd took the lead in attacking, using a flame flash, and the young man Hodd after him unleashed a new flame flash, a double power.
Is it an illusion?
There was a momentary pause in Professor Hodd's thoughts, but then, the killing intent and strong fluctuations in magic power were enough to prove that it was not a joke.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
A series of explosions instantly destroyed the originally silent night by the river, and the violent fire elemental transformed the entire area beyond recognition, it was not an illusion at all!
"Bear!" Professor Hodd's figure reappeared in another place, glancing at the destroyed left half of his body, and his mind moved to use the fire element to replenish his body again, but his mood was extremely heavy.
It's really not an illusion...... "It seems like you've accepted it?" Argus, who was standing aside to watch the show, laughed playfully, then shrugged his shoulders and said lightly in a strange and inexplicable tone, "My master, the ancient will, Mammon, has the power to control people's hearts, no matter how deep the hidden **, or the potential evil thoughts, can not escape his eyes, he has the power to expose all this**, what power to destroy the world, that is just the ignorant and boring thoughts of human beings...... How does it feel to fight your truest self? Ah, do you even keep your hands? Hey, you're going to die! Their power is on the same level as yours...... Yo, it's really ruthless, in the face of the most authentic self, can you still be a killer? It's a pity...... Whether you get hurt or they get hurt, the result is the same!"
As Argus said, the juvenile version, the youth version of Hodd, or Professor Hodd himself, no matter which one is injured, the other two will also suffer the same damage, after all, they are all one person, and perhaps, as Argus said, the end is already doomed.
"It's wonderful! Now you can definitely become the strongest human being, but unfortunately only temporarily......" Argus stood aside and watched the show, applauding from time to time.
And Professor Hodd, who was fighting, was under tremendous pressure, facing two unusually familiar with him...... Nonsense, they themselves are formed in Professor Hod's body, how can they not understand Professor Hod's habits and way of thinking?
"What's the matter, Hodder, are you all there after all that you have given up your hatred? It's ridiculous! You should have been stronger!" the juvenile version of Hodd roared.
"Well, there's no need to hate or anything, but for the sake of the country, for the sake of the world, or for the sake of defending everything that old fellow protects, this reason is too boring...... That's what you think, right?Tsk!isn't it?It's time to wake up from your fantasies, Hodd!--Well, let's join forces to get rid of that annoying imp, shall we? How about we go and kill those who look down on us? You don't have time to earn their respect, so let's kill them? Tsk, don't you speak?" the young version of Hodd shook his head in disappointment, and the speed of the flame flash sped up a bit.
"Huhu ......" faced two opponents of the same level, Professor Huode's spiritual power was rapidly consumed, and he could only use flashes to escape, and in just ten minutes, his spiritual power had already appeared in subtle confusion.
What kind of power is this?
Could it be that the guy behind Argus is really the so-called god?
No way, how could there be such a ridiculous thing!
But this ...... It's not an illusion, it's not an illusion at all!
Not to mention the flame flash, the flame flash of the dual power is only in the hands of himself and his apprentice Soth in the whole world, and the others don't understand it at all, how can they be so skillful?
And those words...... Are they really themselves...... The most authentic version of yourself?
"Oops," Argus said with a smirk, shrugging his forehead, "distracting yourself in battle doesn't look like what you Hodkendi would do!"
As soon as the words fell, only two booms were heard, and Professor Huode's body was directly destroyed by the rapid wave of flame qi, but immediately, the fire element once again made up for the damage to his body, as the level that the black mage imagined, [elementalization], but it was a power that was completely out of the human realm.
"Tsk, what an incredible ability, I never thought that humans could rely on the power of magic to reach almost the same strength as the dark undead, but your mental power is very depleted, once you can't control those fire elements, what will happen?
As Argus said, Professor Hodder's body has begun to vibrate slightly, irregularly, which means that his mental power can no longer fully control the fire element that makes up his body, after all, the fire element, which is one of the most basic elements that make up the world, is not so simple to control.
In the next ten minutes, Professor Hod's mood could not be stabilized, so that in this tie-barred battle, he was completely at a disadvantage, and was completely suppressed by the juvenile version of Hod and the youth version of Hod.
"Boom!"
In a loud explosion, the young Hodd and the young Hodder used a flash at the same time to leave the explosion area, leaving only Professor Hodd, who was mentally injured, and in no way, Professor Hodd stubbornly blocked the impact.
However, he was also severely traumatized by the impact, and strange cracks appeared all over his body, and some fine particles could be faintly seen peeling off his body.
"Bang bang!" Argus clapped as he walked over, looked at Professor Hodd who was lying on the ground panting and laughed teasingly, "It's a wonderful battle, but why do I think you were a little more powerful before, is this faith?" Still, you're the most admirable guy I've ever met, and if we hadn't been on that footing, we might have been friends......"
"Befriending a bastard like you?" said Professor Hodd, panting, with a sneer.
"Hehe," Argus smiled indifferently, and then said in a serious tone, "You can't defeat me, Hodd Kendi, it's not because of the strength of the power, the point is that behind you, maybe there is a belief not to admit defeat, or an oath to avenge the old man, and behind me, there is God!--this is the most crucial reason to measure the victory or defeat of the two of us!--Stop, I can let you go!"
"Let me go?" Professor Hodd's face showed a bit of surprise and mockery, and he laughed and said, "A guy like you would say to let me go?"
"Why not?" Argus smiled faintly, with a bit of inexplicability in his eyes, and sighed, "The essence of the world is nothing more than a tower-like class relationship, the higher you go, the fewer people can understand, of course, the more boring it is, destroying Reox may be the one thing I regret the most now, hehe, it's not repentance, it's just getting more and more boring, there are too few guys like you......"
"Hmph, your words are even more unpleasant than yours!"
"Hehe, yes," Argus smiled indifferently, and then said playfully, "Let me tell you one thing, although you can hurt me, even if it is serious, but you can't kill me, because I have a presence behind me that is enough to shake the whole world, we are not on the same level of power from the beginning, only the [Apostle] can kill the [Apostle]!"
"Apostle?" Professor Hodd's eyes showed some surprise.
Argus seemed to realize his gaffe, and smiled faintly, "Don't care!-I just want to say that you can't defeat me!" As he spoke, he glanced at the young Hod and the young Hod, who were walking here, and said jokingly, "Don't you stop?
Glancing at Argus, Professor Hodd took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Then I'll tell you something too......
"Huh?"
"You're a bastard, a complete asshole!"
Looking at Professor Hodd's hearty smile, Argus showed a little surprise in his eyes, shook his head and stood up, and said lightly, "I'll leave it to you!"
In fact, it is not necessary for Argus to say that the young Hodd and the young Hend have already gone to Professor Hold's side.
Looking at the two ** characters in his deep consciousness, Professor Huo De secretly sighed and said to the two, "I'm sorry!"
"Hmm?" the young man Huo De was stunned, and then said with a sneer, "You don't naively think that a word of sorry can cancel everything out, right?
"That's right," the young Huo De also said lightly in a playful tone, "Our life is really a failure, we have always lived for others, and in the end we have to be killed by ourselves, what a sad thing!"
"But I don't think there's anything wrong with that," Professor Hodd said calmly with a reluctant smile, "although I have made many mistakes and had many regrets, I have never regretted it, and I have always been firm about the path I have taken, and I am still ......."
As if he heard the deep meaning of Professor Huo De's words, the eyes of the young Huo De and the young Huo De showed a little surprise, and the rich fire element on their bodies gradually dissipated.
"It would be nice if you had such persistence in the matter of revenge......" Young Huo De let out a long sigh.
"Hey, there's no need for revenge, pursuit! it's pursuit!—but I appreciate your enlightenment, you could have become a big man, it's a pity......" A real smile appeared on the young man's face.
"Hmm?" Argus, who was walking in the direction of Lily, suddenly felt that something was wrong, and when he turned around, he saw Professor Hodder's body lying on the ground gradually emitting a pale white dangerous light, and his face suddenly changed greatly, and a flash appeared in front of Lily, and at the same time used all the dark power to build a barrier.
"Oh no, that guy turned out to be ......"
Before Argus could finish speaking, he heard a "boom", and a sudden huge force swept in with an oppressive force that was enough to tear people's bodies, and Argus only felt a buzz, and the protective shield composed of all the dark power in his body gradually cracked under this force.
"Damn...... Mammon!" At Argus's shout, a darkness from nowhere quickly coalesced into a huge shadow, protecting Argus and the little girl Lily.
The violent flames swept through the entire area like a hurricane, and then the flames became higher and higher, until they became white flames comparable to the light of the sun, and the merciless white flames vaporized everything nearby, whether it was dirt, rocks, or water from rivers, and then the flames rose into the sky, lighting up the entire sky.
“......”
It took a few minutes for Argus's eyes to heal from a brief loss of light, and as he looked around, his face was filled with consternation.
I saw that the area within a radius of two or three thousand yards had turned into a deep pit, and those rocks, soil, and water sources seemed to have been evaporated alive, even if it was a forbidden spell, it didn't necessarily have such power, right?
Hod Kendi...... "Is that guy dead?" frowning, Argus sensed Professor Hod's position with his mental powers, and suddenly, as if he sensed something, he stared intently at the flames that were still burning violently in the deepest part of the crater.
"Won't that kill you?" the flames gradually condensed into Professor Hodd's appearance, and compared to the irregular vibrations before, he was now much more stable than before.
But Argus clearly felt that the mental power of the man in front of him was running out.
"Is it necessary to do this?" said Argus, patting the head of the little frightened little girl Lily, in an inexplicable tone.
"Who knows," Professor Hodd said with a slight sigh, shaking his head and laughing at himself, "I'm just a crappy magician...... The son of a country grocery store owner, who studied magic by chance, has no outstanding talent or special experience, and uses forbidden methods to gain power in order not to be ridiculed, but he cannot go beyond and become a great magician...... I'm just an unqualified apprentice, an unqualified professor, an unqualified husband......" he said, he glanced at Argus and said with a wry smile, "Unqualified Avenger ......"
"Really?" Argus said with a faint smile, pointing at his shaky self, "but no one has ever been able to hurt me to such an extent, and neither of those two great magicians can do it!
"It's still such an unpleasant tone!" Professor Hodd shook his head slightly, and then, his body gradually shattered and peeled off, turning into the most basic fire element, only to hear a "ding" sound, a ring slowly fell, falling into the giant pit.
The night was silent again, but Argus still stood still, staring at the fallen ring, silently, without making a sound.
After a full few minutes, he sighed slightly, looked up at the bright starry sky, and said in a deep voice in an inexplicable tone, "Human beings, they are such fragile creatures, aging, disease, accidents, any sudden thing is enough to take life from the hands of human beings...... Human beings are such a fragile and insignificant existence!"
But...... Hed Kendi, what a terrible man!
Hey!
You have failed not because of strength, but because of the height we stand...... Just as a human being, how can you, as a human being, fight against me with a human way of thinking, a human worldview, and defeat me as an apostle?
The power we carry is completely different!
Behind you is just faith, and behind me is God! God who can do anything!
So, rest in peace, and with that wisp of regret, go to the final destination of life...... You're going to be much luckier than I am...... My destination is only eternal darkness...... Once I'm dead, it's going to be over, and who cares?
It's boring and sad...... But it doesn't matter what, it won't be long before it's over!
This country, this world...... And I ...... "tsk!" sighed slightly, and Argus felt a sharp pain all over his body, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and muttered, "What a guy who doesn't know what a serious thing to do...... Damn!"
"Uncle," asked the little girl Lily curiously, "is the man gone?"
"Ah, he's gone. - It's called Argus!" Frowning at the injuries on his body, Argus said nonchalantly.
"Ah...... Gus?" Lily tilted her head.
"My name!"
"Uncle's name?" said ......," Lily hesitated.
Argus got a little impatient and whispered, "You can scream, little ghost!"
"Woo......"
"Damn!" Argus grabbed his hair angrily and said hatefully, looking at Lily, who was crying quietly out of fear, "If you dare to cry, I'll throw you back...... Wipe it off, don't you want a delicious cake?"
"Uh...... I want it!" the little girl nodded timidly, raising her dirty sleeve to wipe it.
Seeing her wipe her tears with her dirty sleeves, Argus shook his head helplessly, and subconsciously leaned into his pocket, and when he touched the little wetness of the handkerchief, his slightly gentle eyes were replaced by coldness again, and said indifferently, "Then wipe it off for me!—Also, don't cry at every turn in the future!"
"Oh......"
"Huh!
"Now, uncle...... Pander to...... Argus, can I go back? ...... here."
"Hmm!" Argus sighed slightly and whispered in a somewhat lonely tone, "It looks like it's going to be even more boring and lonely in the future, right, Hodd Kendi?—shit, it's worse than before, bastard!"
"Huh?"
"Don't worry, little ghost!"
"It's Lily!" the little girl Lily corrected in an indignant but somewhat fearful tone.
