Maltis and her garrison, who had been staying in the underground base waiting for orders, had escaped the 'Illumination' of the other Azi Dahaca.

The Aziz Dahaka she was in charge of was also well preserved and was not affected by the martyrdom.

She and her troops were originally survivors.

After all, Maltis is the general of the garrison, and his management is extremely strict, in order to maintain the stability of Azz Dahaca, thousands of Noldor auxiliaries in the army contributed blood, creating a large blood bank - this is really a voluntary contribution, originally thought that they would be resurrected after detonating Azi Dahaca, but only those who were still alive at the time of the detonation died......

After the magic storm spawned, Maltis knew that the Wengedarion continent was probably finished, and she had no other thoughts at that time, she just wanted to save herself.

But the magical storm on the Wengedarian continent lasted too long, and Maltis couldn't leave the underground base and return to the surface, and even if he did, he wouldn't be able to survive.

So Maltis decided to put his life on the line.

Az Dahaka's trait is to make the living die and raise the dead.

Maltis decided to use this trait to devise a plan to die before she lived, that is, to let her die before triggering the illumination of Azi Dahaca.

Since he didn't know when the magical storm that swept the continent would dissipate, Maltis couldn't just activate Azdahaka and kill himself immediately, or he would still not survive even if he was resurrected.

As a result, she left Az Dahaka's activation method and then used her powerful magic to freeze herself and her troops in the underground base, as well as the warehouse where Azz Dahaka was sealed.

She's going to put off the resurrection until after the storm of magic has dissipated.

Of course, you will die after being frozen in ice, but at least you will die decently and can maximize the preservation of your body from damage.

The storm may last for many years, but one day it will dissipate, and if everything is frozen up, and when the storm dissipates, if Azi Dahaka is detonated, then she may come back to life.

Even if no one finds this place, no one can trigger Az Dahaka, the blood that stores it will thaw sooner or later, and when the blood evaporates, the unstable bomb will still detonate automatically.

In order to ensure that he could be resurrected, Maltis also used all his magic power to use 'Soul Gathering' on himself before dying.

This is a necromancy spell banned by the Sindari elves, which can keep people's souls alive after death, but cannot restore lives, and can cause terrible corpse transformations - that is, turning into undead, becoming the walking dead.

However, it was just right to use it at this time, otherwise after a long time, the soul would be dispersed, and even Azdahaka would not be able to resurrect her.

In fact, the Soul Gathering Technique was originally a spell that was prepared to be used to cooperate with the 'Holy Light Illumination Project', and it was only after this plan was determined that the Sindari Empire opened this forbidden technique and let several generals who were responsible for implementing the plan learn it.

Freeze your body, use spirit gathering to maintain your soul, and wait for Azdahaka to resurrect him.

This was a solid solution.

But usually, no matter how reliable the solution is, there will always be some surprises.

The surprise that Maltis encountered was that the magical storm of the Wengdarion continent lasted for nearly a hundred years, and after the storm dissipated, the entire continent turned into an extremely cold ice field......

The ice has never thawed, and Azdahaka has been steadily staying in the underground warehouse.

She froze herself and Aziz Dahaka together for a thousand years......

At that time, Maltis was indeed dead.

It wasn't until three hundred years ago that Kavala found this underground base.

His old body froze to death here, and then he took possession of Az Dahaka's body, which was basically the truth, and the only one who could move at that time was Az Dahaka.

It was a puppet that used magic to maintain its ability to move, or a special undead who could act as soon as it was thawed.

Kavala also said that Maltis was 'not dead', that she came back to life after the thaw, but that her soul was 'broken', and that she had turned all her men into undead as soon as she woke up......

In fact, Maltis did not come to life on his own, nor was he crippled.

After all, Maltis is an archmage, a Sindari elf who is infinitely close to a god, and he is the best of Sindari elves, with extremely strong magical powers.

Her soul had not dissipated under the influence of the Soul Gathering.

However, she is not a god after all, and just like Ulrik did when she was in the temple, her soul does not have the ability to reoccupy the corpse, and she can no longer perform magic.

The magic of Sindari elves is in the body, and it is the blood that is full of magic that gives them the ability to unleash spells, not by faith or gods.

With a soul, she couldn't do anything—she couldn't touch any entity.

It was then that Kavala made an agreement with Maltis.

Maltis, who had been in the underground base for thousands of years, sold his soul in order to be resurrected, and was rescued by Kavala at the cost of being controlled by Kavala.

To put it simply, Kavala took advantage of the danger to force Maltis to sign a soul contract with him, forcibly controlled Maltis, and then taught her how to return to her own body.

Maltis is actually just taking possession of his body with his soul, and this is not a resurrection.

And this control of Maltis by the Kavalra is actually the way in which the gods control their 'chosen ones'.

The so-called soul contract, if it is under normal circumstances, that is to say, without coercion......

- Actually, it's faith.

The oath made by the soul is the most devout faith, because the spirit cannot lie and deceive.

But using coercion to make Maltis sign a soul contract, this is actually the practice of the abyss demon, and it is also the most controlling way, if you can completely control the soul, you can forcibly control its body and behavior.

And the way the gods operate is generally to deceive or induce......

However, in any case, Kavala traded in exchange for control of Maltis, and did not take any coercive means, and it was 'voluntary' by Maltis, which is also in line with the rules of the creator god.

Kavala has since had his own 'Chosen One', and certainly the most powerful one in the entire world.

After all, Maltis can cast magic without any restrictions......

Kavala didn't occupy Maltis's body - he used Azzy Dahaka's body, which was forbidden and he couldn't occupy it until he died.

But Maltis is also the body he has prepared - he has complete control over Maltius's soul, and as long as he is not confined by the forbidden demons, he can replace him with Maltis at any time, just like Agrame and his Fallen Ghost.

"So, all the Chosen ones are not actually alive?"

Leon asked.

"No, most of them are indeed alive. But the two of us are the exception - we both signed a soul contract with God and then possessed our own corpses, and God's contract can make people immortal, but this is not really alive, because the soul does not belong to us. ”

Maltis explains, "Life is something to be feared, and the person who has a full life cannot be controlled...... Of course, God deceives them when they can't control them directly—and I've been under control for the past 300 years, but I've seen a lot of things......"

I see.

After the explosion of Aziz Dahaca, the lost life was completely restored, and Kavala could no longer control Maltis.

But Maltis says he's the same as her?

"I don't think I've signed any soul contract......

Leon didn't know why.

"You must have signed it, or you'll die...... You can look back and think about when your life has changed differently. ”

Maltis looked at Leon and said with certainty.

When did your life change?

From the time I came to the Pander continent......

Don't!

The options at the beginning of the game suddenly appeared in Leon's mind, as well as the button - [Face life, can't save or exit!] 】

He closed his eyes, trying to examine his system, which had no sense of presence......

The system is gone.

It's gone!

That half-hung subsystem, gone!

That's really the case......

It's really a deception......

The original Leon Griffin was indeed dead, and he inadvertently signed a soul contract with the goddess, and then took possession of Leon's body - this is indeed not a living person.

However, the soul contract may indeed exist, but has the goddess of order really controlled herself?

When you think about it, it doesn't seem to be—or rather, you don't feel it much.

It's just that his life of many disasters is indeed caused by Yunomia......

Shouldn't you explain, Yunomia?

Leon looked up at the sky, feeling very unhappy.

Thinking about it again, Yunomia has already been sentenced to life imprisonment, and Leon is even more unhappy - this is not even a chance to take revenge!

Not to mention revenge, Yunomia may not be able to respond to herself again, Leon thinks.

Li Ang sighed, his heart was very complicated, and he couldn't tell if it was regret or relief, or both.

He knew that he probably no longer had the burden of God's mission.

But a lot of the things I have gained seem to have been lost, and from then on, I have to rely on myself completely......

Li Ang clenched his fists, feeling his still weak body, but then reacted - it was not that his body was weak, but that the skill points that he had obtained that did not belong to him had been lost......

When the system disappears, the Iron Bone and Strike Level increased through the system also disappears......

Probably a few levels less.

That system was a blessing given by the Goddess to the 'Chosen One', and now it no longer belongs to her.

All that belongs to me is the projects and actual combat experience that I have really exercised in Fog Cage City—but it is no longer reflected in proficiency, but in muscle memory and experience in my head.

But it doesn't matter, Leon has long been accustomed to fighting with his brain rather than relying on strength and skill - even if he has a system, many of the opponents he faces will still not be able to beat......

Moreover, there are many more and more powerful things that have been retained by themselves......

The trust of the partners, the loyalty of the soldiers, the fame built up in the past few years, and the prestige of the southern and northern wars, these are the most valuable things.

Moreover, most of them are not obtained by their own personal force.

With his current status, plus bodyguards of Wendy, Risa Dilan, and even Vendatil...... It's okay.

The only regret is that the perception I got from the void is gone.

That's a life-saving skill......

But now it seems that it should also be a special benefit given to her by the goddess of order.

Is Wendy's blood still there, though?

Now that the heartbeat and pulse have returned to the level of ordinary people, is Wendy's blood gone?

That's a bit of a pity......

Leon ...... What happened to you? Isn't it uncomfortable? ”

Seeing that Leon had been stunned, Wendy walked up and grabbed Leon's arm.

"Haha...... No, I just lost a lot of blood. Wendy, don't leave me again, I need your protection. ”

Leon smiled and patted Wendy's hand.

What is not bloody, the concern in Wendy's eyes is the most important.

"Maltis, what are you going to do now? I don't think Kavala is likely to give up on a 'chosen one' like you. ”

Turning his head, Leon looked at Maltiz.

"Hmph...... It's unlikely that I'll let him go as a false god...... After being controlled for 300 years, I can't bear it! ”

Maltis looked like he wanted revenge.

"So...... Let's cooperate and let the madman who wants to be a god go where he should go? ”

Leon held out his hand to Maltiz.

Maltis didn't respond, but looked at Wendy: "What?" Isn't it up to you to decide? You're Sindari ......"

"Leon is our leader, and everyone here listens to him. And...... Maltis, I'm not Sindari. ”

Wendy smiled, "Besides, it's not Wengerdarion here. ”

Maltis sighed: "You have strong magic fluctuations in your body, stronger than my magic power, how can it not be Sindari?" You've just unleashed your magic......"

"I'm ......"

Wendy tried to argue, but Leon squeezed her hand and stopped her from talking.

"Wendy is mainly lacking a good teacher...... Maltis, what other magic do you do besides the Gathering of the Undead? Can Wendy be taught? ”

Leon smiled humbly at Maltiz - a smile that many had seen, almost all before Leon had drained his dinar from his pocket......

"Of course, she was supposed to be a powerful magician...... But, Leon, I'm not going to cooperate with humans......"

It seems that Maltis really doesn't look down on humans.

"Alas, if you don't cooperate, you won't cooperate...... But, Maltys, you're resurrected, so you're going to have to eat, right? But do you have a dinar? Could it be ...... A Sindari lord is actually going to be reduced to robbery? And still hungry to grab steamed buns to eat? Tut-tut......"

Leon began to shake his head and snap his fingers: "Besides, you have nowhere to live, you have no one to use, and your horned viper vanguard doesn't seem to have regained their senses - you don't need to look at my guards, although they are Noldor elves, they only listen to my orders......"

Maltis was silent, she really didn't think about it so much.

"Most importantly, Kavala will definitely look for you...... You should know that he won't die, and that there should be other Azz Daha......ka in his Serpent Cult."

Leon stretched out his hand again: "General Maltis, you need a job now, and you need an ally. It just so happens that I can provide a job and also be an ally. ”

What about Sindari, no matter how powerful a magician is, she may become a working boy, who called her so poor......
