Chapter XXXIX: The Unrecognized Traveler

No, the other party was not Soss, Abel was the first to recover from the shock, after all, Sos was the apprentice her husband once valued the most, and she was confident that she could not be wrong. 【】

Soth's Xiao ghost, although it has a very surprising power, but in itself, it is just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old Xiao ghost, and the man in front of him is roughly estimated to be between twenty-two and twenty-three years old, so it is absolutely impossible to be Soth's Xiao ghost.

Besides, there are obvious differences in the body shape and appearance of the two, especially the face of the head and eyes......

But, it's incredible, it's been able to go so far, I've never heard that Xiao ghost say that he has an extremely similar brother

With all sorts of suspicions, Abel stepped forward and asked in a deep voice, "You're not South, who are you?"

"Soss?" The mysterious magician, who resembled Soth, smiled a little disdainfully, bowed his head to Abel, bowed his head, and then said lightly, "You can call me Beria, respected Abel Keynes."

"You ......" There was a surprised expression on Ebel's face, because her grandfather, the great magician Gretel Keynes, had not visited Vander several times in twenty years, and she was actually very awkward in her heart, so much so that she claimed to be Ebel in front of outsiders, but she never added her surname, and the reason why she was famous was only because of her personal status as a representative of Vander, and her husband, the husband who challenged Argus alone, but the man in front of her seemed to know her very well......

What's even more incredible is that he has clearly concluded that the other party has nothing to do with Soth, but Abel faintly saw Soth from that indifferent face......

"Who the hell are you?" asked Abel again in a solemn, skeptical tone.

"Heh," the mysterious magician named Belial shook his head slightly, as if he didn't want to continue this boring topic, raised his right hand, and said in a deep voice, "The [Secret Book of Astrology] written by the prophet, the famous astrologer, and the sage Adrian Clinch, I hope you will give it to me."

Abel was stunned, and subconsciously glanced at Captain Bernie Jeffs, the Great Elder of Vander, who was also stunned.

Adrian Clinc, a prophet of the previous generation, a famous astrologer, and a sage, was one of the few famous and outstanding astrologers in the history of Vander, and was once honored as a prophet and a sage......

Why would that guy know? Vander has such a thing as [Secret Book of Astrology], which is almost a secret that cannot be leaked

Suddenly, the elders of Vanderle all looked at each other suspiciously, especially Grand Elder Bernie Gilves, who couldn't help but look at the young man who called himself Beria with angry eyes, and asked in astonishment, "You...... Did you ever be our Fandel?"

No wonder the old man was so shocked, after all, this kind of secret is almost unknown to few people in the whole world, and even Soth doesn't know about it.

The suspicion on Abel's face became more and more apparent.

Although she also thought about cultivating her husband's apprentice Soth into an outstanding person who could inherit Vander, after all, Vander's elders are too old, and she herself is an NV person, so she is relatively weak in many things, but unfortunately, Soth's Xiao ghost is too young, although he has great power because of his status as an apostle, but he is only a Xiao guy who is about sixteen years old, which is really not enough to shoulder the burden of maintaining Vander's long history, for this reason, Abel plans to hone that Xiao guy for a few more years。

But this guy in front of you ......

Are we Vander's people?

The dozens of Vander's old professors, including Abel, pondered and meditated, but unfortunately, no matter how much they thought about it, they couldn't remember anything about that guy Beria. After all, compared to the dazzling Helily Oaks Academy, Vanderle used to be almost isolated from the world, and there were only a few dozen people in the entire Van Delta, and it was absolutely impossible to forget one person

"Don't waste your efforts, Elders of Vander," looking at the elders with their heads bowed and meditating, a trace of inexplicable kindness appeared in Beria's indifferent eyes, and then he repeated in a cold tone again, "Give me the secret book of astrology, or do you choose to let this tower of thunder with a long history be destroyed by me?" As he spoke, an incomparably strong dark aura seeped out of his body, and in the dark aura that existed like mist, he could faintly see the head of a hideous giant beast roaring in a low voice, and the powerful oppressive force seemed to make Vanderne blow a strange wind, causing those dark mages to take a few steps back.

Who the hell is that guy?

Abel couldn't help but compare the guy in front of him to Soth, but came to the conclusion that the pressure on him brought by this man named Belia was even stronger than Soth......

Are you kidding

Thus, her husband's apprentice, he was an apostle

"Jiao to me," Belia said in a low voice, as if he had lost his patience.

"Don't be arrogant in Vandelle" A black mage seemed to be unable to resist Beria's arrogance, and raised the wand in his hand, but before he could cast any magic, he saw Beria's eyes change, and a powerful pressure knocked the black mage away like an entity, slamming into Vander's inner wall, just a look.

"How...... How could it be?" Except for those elders, the other dark mages 1 had frightened expressions, because they didn't notice any magic movement on the other side at all, that is, the other party had repelled a black mage without relying on magic power at all, how could this be the case?

"Stupid" saw Beria snort coldly, looking at the black magician who was struggling to get up from the ground, his eyes flashed a faint red light, and then, the magician's body gradually became thin and transparent.

As if sensing something was wrong, some of the Dark Mages shouted in dismay, "Pooly, hey, your body ......"

"Huh?" The black mage named Pulley glanced suspiciously at the mages who were exclaiming, subconsciously glanced at his body, and then, let out a cry of great horror.

"How...... What's going on? I ...... My body ...... No, don't...... No...... Don't ......"

Under the gaze of everyone holding their breath, Pooly became more and more transparent in the incessant crying, and finally disappeared completely from everyone's eyes, leaving no breath.

"What's going on?"

"It's gone......" the magicians whispered in horror.

In their eyes of infinite horror,

Beria glanced around with indifferent eyes, stretched out his right hand, and whispered in a threatening voice, "Just because you want to stop me?" hahaha, it's ridiculous - no one can stop me from doing what I Belia wants to do...... No matter who it is, they can't stop me, even if it's ...... God--So, don't bī me do it, obediently take out the [Secret Book of Astrology]."

Under the suppression of Beria's powerful momentum, even the elders of Vandel couldn't help but take two steps back, looking at this mysterious guy who suddenly appeared in Vander, they faintly had the illusion of looking up to a god.

"How could it be ......" Old Professor Wellman looked at Beria in horror, and Old Professor Wellman muttered in disbelief, "The power just now is definitely not something that humans can grasp, and besides, this ...... How is this level of oppressive force possible...... It's just half ...... Demigods"

Demigods?

There was a look of horror in Aibel's eyes, she had heard that for the appearance of the apostle, the current level of magic had become too high, and in order to divide this level, the idle and bored Elders of Vandel defined the level above the level of [General Great Magician] as [demigod], that is, people who have mastered the power of gods.

To put it simply, the current Soth is only at the level of [Yue Ordinary Great Magician], and Argus, who was defeated by him, is close to the level of [Demigod] because he has already reached the level of a fully transformed apostle...... In other words, this man, Beria, has more power than Argus and Soth

However, compared to this, Abel cared more about the special power that the other party had just used, and she could almost conclude that it was the power of the ancient will Sloth, [obliterating existence].

In the past few months, the elders of Vander have also been studying the power of the ancient will, after all, Soth is the best material, combined with some vague information left in the ancient ruins, the elders are now, in the endless dark world, there are a total of seven most powerful eternal beings, they are like the emperors of the dark world, above all the dark forces.

Greed, arrogance, yinyù, laziness, anger, jealousy, gluttony, these seven ancient wills dominate the entire dark world, and also dominate all the negative feelings of all living beings, they feed on negative emotions, and they continue to grow stronger in the long river of time, and in their eyes, perhaps human beings are nothing more than a group of objects for pleasure.

In ancient texts, these seven ancient wills are defined as [Satan-level] demon kings, which are higher ranks than the lord of the realm of death, immortal kings, and have almost become legends, and no power can compete with them, even the brilliant prehistoric civilization that human magicians have been pursuing, it was destroyed because of their appearance.

According to the records of the literature, the ancient consciousness is a powerful creature that gave birth to the third dimension, and it is the ancient life that first appeared in the whole world, they are not bound by the decay of time and energy, and they maintain the most powerful power forever, but because of the law, they cannot directly affect some creatures of the fourth dimension like humans, and can only be through the way of [Apostles].

The apostle, which can be seen as borrowing the life of these ancient will powers, through a variety of different forces, signed a contract with the apostles, as long as the apostles do not do anything against the [ancient will] commands, they can continue to be supported by the power of the ancient will, just like Argus, who chose death at the last moment to end his sins, instead of continuing to fulfill the agreement between him and Ma Mén, so he was abandoned by Ma Mén.

The contract standard of each ancient will is different, just like the ancient will behind Argus, Mén, as the embodiment of [greed], he is extremely eager to dominate everything, so he is eager to come to this world, but for the ancient will behind Soth, Sloth, there does not seem to be the idea of urgently coming to this world, as the embodiment of [laziness], Slos did not even convey any instructions to Soth, perhaps, this is because it is [too troublesome]......

However, the power that each ancient will can lend to the apostles is limited, and the laws of this world cannot be passed, and the more apostles who sign the contract, the less power the apostles can get, so each ancient will basically has only one apostle at a time.

And for Abel, that's where her doubts come in.

She was very sure that the divine power that the guy named Belial had just used was obviously the embodiment of [Laziness], the [power of escape] possessed by Sloth, with the power to deceive the laws of this world, and completely obliterate any object that she did not recognize, which is the so-called [obliteration of existence].

But the problem is, the apostle of Sloth is the Xiao ghost of Soth, and that Xiao ghost has not been abandoned by Sloth, and there is no sign that Slos has two apostles, but why is the man in front of him able to use the power of Sloth?

Unless......

There are these two Sloths in this world......

How could such a ridiculous thing exist?

Abel knew very well that each ancient will represented a negative emotion, because they were a combination of countless negative forces, so there could be no ridiculous remarks like two Sloths, but in this way, it could not explain what had just happened.

Just when Abel was puzzled, Captain Bernie Graves, the Grand Elder of Vander, after a long silence, said something that shocked everyone present.

"Young man, the all-knowing and all-powerful star tells me that your existence is not recognized by this world, you ...... It's not from this world, is it?"

In the stunned eyes of everyone, Beria laughed, looked at the Grand Elder Bernie Graves and chuckled, "You are worthy of the Great Elder Vander, the most outstanding astrologer of our time, I can't escape your eyes......

"It's incredible...... "Grand Elder Bernie Graves nodded slightly, looked at Belial with inexplicable admiration, and muttered, "I used to think that I was the most knowledgeable person in this world about space magic, but ...... I can't do it by shuttling through the plane, not even by using spatial teleportation to enter Vander from the outside, but you, young man, can actually do it through time and space......" As he spoke, he sighed slightly, looked at Beria with cloudy eyes, and said solemnly, "Don't be in a hurry to deny it, I can be sure that you are not a pure black magician, young man, because I feel the unique [ether] power of our astrologer from your body......"

"Heh," Belia chuckled and said indifferently, "I don't mean to deny it, Grand Elder...... But since you've guessed, then it's time to understand the power gap between us, and I don't want to say anything unkind to the elders of Vanderle, but what...... Even if you go together, you will all die here...... Is that good?"

"Amazing, young man, you are the most gifted person I have ever met," said Grand Elder Bernie Gilves, who looked at Beria for a long time, and suddenly asked in a deep voice, "Please answer me honestly, young man, who did you learn your spatial magic?"

"What do you say?" said Beria, smirking.

......As if he had received some message, Grand Elder Bernie Jeffs seemed to have aged by more than ten years at once, looked at Beria with complicated eyes, and muttered, "So that's it, that's how it is...... No wonder you know about the existence of the Secret Book of Astrology......" As he spoke, he paused with his cane and said in a deep voice, "However, I can't give you our astrologer's book, because from your body, I feel the aura of evil......"

"Oh?" Belia chuckled at Grand Elder Bernie Gilves, "and what do you want to do?"

"Don't you understand?---Of course, for me in the other world, I will teach you a good lesson as a student who does not know how to grow and go to the wrong path" At the feet of the Great Elder, a magic array of pale blue three-pointed stars suddenly appeared. It was a magic circle unique to astrologers, and the three circles of light on the three-pointed star horns symbolized the past, present, and future.

"Huh?" Belial's face smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "I advise you not to do this......" he said, his eyes were a little cruel, and he said in a low voice, "Because, I don't want to kill you a second time."

"You ......" Even the Great Elder Bernie Jeffs was shocked by Beria's powerful oppressive force for a moment.

"Stop, Soth" At this moment, Abel subconsciously shouted, as if he had already guessed something, "how can you be so rude to the Great Elder......

Before Abel could finish speaking, the dark mages began to talk.

"Soth, is he Soth?"

"Wouldn't it, wouldn't it? I saw that xiao guy some time ago, how could it be ......"

"Very nice xiao, guy......"

"yes......"

In the discussion of those black mages, Beria smiled faintly and said with a blank face, "I said, my name is Belial"

"All right, Beria," Abel took a slight breath, and walked over to Grand Elder Bernie Gilves, looked at Beria and said in a deep voice, "To be honest, I was shocked, but now is not the time to think about it, tell me, Beria, why do you need an astrological secret?"

"It's very simple," the corners of his mouth sneered, and Beria said lightly, "because at that time, I was negligent, I didn't control my power well, and I destroyed the whole of Vander...... So, I can't find it."

"You," Abel's eyes showed a little anger, and he looked at Beria and whispered, "You actually did such a thing......

"Didn't I say that?" Narrowing his eyes slightly, Beria said indifferently, "My name is Beria, what I Belia wants, no one can stop me, even if I am the enemy of the whole world, I want to get what I want - the secret book of astrology, give it to me, I will leave immediately, otherwise ......"

"Otherwise, you'll destroy Vander a second time, won't you?" said Abel, holding back the anger in her heart.

However, in the face of such an angry Abel, Beria said lightly, "Yes-that's it"

"I didn't expect you to be like this......"

"Huh?" Beria's face chuckled, and he glanced at Abel and the elders of Vanderle with complicated eyes, and whispered, "When I made that decision, I was ready to be the enemy of the whole world, believe me, if you don't do what I want, I will kill everyone, destroy this place, and raze it to the ground."

At this moment, there was a violent tremor in the entire Vander, and an extremely angry voice faintly came.

"Kill everyone, destroy Vandel, raze to the ground, I can't act like I didn't hear it, hún egg."

"Hmm?" Belial's face was a little surprised, and then the surprise was replaced by relief, shook his head, and said lightly, "Is it Gadian? Don't act rashly, Gadian, how do you think I found the secret book of astrology back then?—it's very simple, completely destroy every part and every part after you......"

The "abominable" voice became even angrier, and then the whole Vander shook even more violently.

"Gadian" seemed to have a premonition, and Abel shouted urgently, "Stop, Gadian, do you want to ruin this place?"

However, Vander's shaking never stopped......

"That guy Gadian has lost his mind," said Grand Elder Bernie Geewston, pausing his cane, and hurriedly said, "Everybody come to me."

The unknown black mage hurriedly came to the vicinity of the Great Elder Bernie Jeffs, only to see the crutches in the hands of the Great Elder, and the three-pointed star magic array under his feet suddenly expanded, accompanied by a flash of azure light, and everyone present disappeared in place.

Only Abel hurried towards the upper floor of Van Delta, because his son was taking a nap in his room at the moment......

Looking at the empty hall, Beria's eyes faintly showed a bit of kindness, and he muttered, "It is worthy of the Great Elder, he can carry so many people for spatial teleport......ation at one time," he said, snapping his fingers, and a black area similar to a mén household suddenly appeared beside him.

"Let's get out first, Kane, Hanpa...... That guy Gardian is still so grumpy......"

"Yes, master"

Almost instantly, Beria teleported to the city of Sgedel outside the tower through spatial magic, where the Great Elder Bernie Gilves, and the black mages in the tower.

Under the shocked gaze of everyone except Beria, the entire Vander Mage Tower was seriously deformed, and in just a few minutes, it turned into a huge rock statue with Vander's body thousands of yards high, making everyone see this extremely shocking scene.

"That guy Gardian...... Let's get out of here for the time being" Sighing slightly, Grand Elder Bernie Graves once again used a large-scale spatial teleportation magic to teleport the nearby black mages outside the city, fortunately, because of the re-establishment of Vandor City, the black mages of Sgdor have almost moved to Vandor, otherwise...... hehe

Looking at the huge size of the rock colossus, even Hanpa, who was a demon god, couldn't help but feel frightened and muttered, "This...... This, the master this ......"

"What's the panic," glancing at Hampa, Beria looked up at the rock colossus, and said lightly, "This is what Vander really looks like, a weapon of war made by a beautiful man, Guardian Gardian"

The huge rock, which was thousands of yards high, let out a deafening roar, and then raised a fist the size of a city, and smashed it down on Beria, only to hear the sound of the ground, and the entire Sgdal was almost completely destroyed by this powerful force, sinking into a bottomless ravine.

"Huh" Beria, who dodged this blow with teleportation magic, stood outside the city of Sgedel, sighed slightly, shook his head and said, "I forgot, I shouldn't have said anything in front of that guy to destroy Vanderle and kill everyone...... Piercing that guy......"

Beside Belial, Kane, the king's puppet, said in a deep voice, "Things are getting troublesome......

"Heh," with a chuckle, Beria said lightly, "It's nothing, it's just to destroy him again, and the more troublesome thing is that I'm afraid that I won't be able to control my strength, if the destruction is too complete, won't our journey be in vain?"

"That's right, master."

While they were talking, the gigantic Guardian Gardian seemed to notice Belial's position, turned his massive body, and raised his fist once more.

"It's really troublesome to be caught by the Obelisk of the Wind," Beria sighed slightly, then his expression changed, his eyes turned cold, and he said in a low voice, "Don't think of my patience as cowardice, Gadian" said, his eyes emitted a strange red light, and he shouted in a deep voice, "Give me [disappear]"

As soon as he finished speaking, the huge fist that was about to smash into his head like a mountain rock disappeared without a trace in an instant.

"Roar"

Looking up at the extremely angry guardian Gardian, Beria sneered and said, "You also want to stop me?" As he spoke, he raised his right hand and pointed it at Gardian's heart, and said lightly, "I, who have dealt with you once, know your structure too well, Gadian - the next blow, I will hit the power system of your heart directly, as long as the strength is controlled, it will not cause too serious damage to the things in the tower...... I'll just look for it myself...... Goodbye, Gardian"

As soon as he finished speaking, a strong dark power was gradually released from his hands, but then, his movements stopped, and at the same time, Gardian, who was about to attack again, also stopped, because Abel had appeared in front of Belial with teleportation magic before that.

"Get out, Abel," Gardian said in a deep voice of anxiety and worry, his voice thundering.

Abel glared back at Gardian and said viciously, "Shut up, idiot - you almost killed my son"

Faintly, I could see that Gadian seemed to make a gesture of shrinking his head, as if he knew that he had done something wrong, and he did not dare to say anything in fear.

Immediately, Abel turned his head to look at Beria, threw a thick magic book into his arms, and after taking a deep look at Beria, he suddenly raised his right hand, slapped Beria in the face, and said in a tone of strong resentment, "This is for you for me in that world - you have disappointed me so much...... Get the hell out of me."

King Kane, who was beside Beria, immediately took out the knight's sword at his waist, but then, Beria reached out and stopped him.

"......" felt the burning pain on the left side of his face, Beria glanced at the ancient magic book in his hand, laughed at himself, glanced at the angry Abel, nodded with a little deep meaning, and said, "So...... I took it."

With that, he turned around, put on his cloak, and left silently under Abel's angry gaze.

On the way out, Kane, the king's puppet, glanced at Belial's left side of the face and said hesitantly, "Master...... Abel NV, he died of illness."

"Ah...... What do you want to say?"

"No, I just think ......"

"Then what do you think I'm going to do? kill her?" Beria sneered, and Beria paused, glanced back in Sgdal's direction, and sighed, "I don't want to kill unnecessary, as long as I can achieve the goal, that's enough...... I don't care how it goes."

"Yes, yes, master......" Kane sighed and shook his head, then said worriedly, "but in this way, the identity of the master will be violent, and I am afraid that there will be trouble in the future, especially ......"

"Do you think I'm going to lose to that Xiao ghost?" With a cold snort, Beria gently stroked the blue sè crystal necklace hanging on his mouth, and muttered with an unusually gentle look, "I just want to see [her] again and see [her] smile...... For this reason, even if it is the enemy of the whole world at any cost-even if it is that Xiao ghost, if he dares to block my way, I will kill him, even if he is the [me] of this world, so what?"

“...... Yes"

"What I Belia wants to do, no one can stop me, even if it's a god, even if it's [me]...... I'll step over their corpses just as well."

"Yes, master-but, I think it's better to be cautious," hesitantly glancing at Beria, Kane whispered, "Although the master's power is strong, but after all, it is not the power recognized by this world, every time it is used, it will consume some, for the ultimate goal, I think it is still necessary to reduce the consumption as much as possible, like the situation just now, it is enough for the subordinates to come forward, the master really has no need to ......"

"Hmm," Beria said with a frown, "maybe I'm in too much of a hurry...... Sorry, Kane"

"This, I didn't mean that, master......"

"Hehe," Beria smiled faintly, looked up at the sky with complicated eyes, and muttered, "Indeed, being too anxious is often bad, we have already failed once, and that is not a good taste......" As he spoke, a few strange smiles appeared on the corners of his mouth, looking at the unknown demon god Hanpa, and said with a smile, "It seems that we need to get some help, for example, the warriors of the ancient civilization [Savos]...... I hope they will obey, or I'll have to kill them......"

Listening to those cold and confident words, and recalling the power of transcending the world that Belial had just used, the demon god Hanpa couldn't help but swallow his saliva secretly, and once again congratulated himself on the decision he had made.
