Chapter 37: Vane
DuPont opened a college in Helki, the capital of the Saatchi Empire. Horn looks at the map. The base of Hull is located in the northern part of the Saatchi Empire, relatively close to the border between the Saatchi Empire and the Orc Empire. In contrast to the other two empires, the capital was in the middle of the empire. The capital of the Thatch Empire is located in the place where the legendary brave and ferocious Orc Empire wants to approach, and I really don't know what the founding emperor of the Thatch Empire thinks.
Horn drove the broken wagon to Helki. Look at the tired old horse. Horn couldn't help but sigh at how similar it was to when he came out of his hometown of Dauphin a few months ago, except that there was still a groom with him. At that time, I was full of ambition and confidence. And now he is alone, and his future is uncertain.
A man, a car, and an old horse walk in the reckless grassland, towards an obscure future......
The black mist always shrouded the black continent, and even the sky was gray. Dead tree trunks and bare rocks were everywhere. Only the pool of lava that glowed red not far away, and the sound of bubbles popping every now and then. It's so depressing, so quiet that it makes people crazy.
A black, sturdy figure jumped on the bare black rock. There was not much movement in each footing, and with a slight click, the whole figure drew a graceful arc and flew to another rock.
In dim light. A succubus with no eyebrows, thin cheeks, a firm nose, plump lips, and dark eyes like deep pools, exuding a bewitching and magnificent atmosphere, is constantly advancing. That flawless body, with a fatal temptation. And there was only a worn, rusty piece of armor on his body. The armor is in the style of a battle skirt, with many damages, and the chest and abdomen of the upper body are exposed. At the hem of the skirt that covers the lower half of the body, the two round and strong thighs open and close, which is even more tempting and sinful.
Wayne, Lachesis, Kenbrundi, Elifeng, Sal, Gontsaceray, Brilly, and Rente were galloping. As a succubus, a lowly species in hell, it is an unusual thing to have a real name as soon as you are born. Creatures in purgatory, high or low. Births are generally nameless. It is only when they grow up to a certain level of Cheng dรน that they awaken to their true names. The name was not given to them or to others. Rather, it naturally came to mind after evolving into a higher purgatory creature. This real name will stay with them for the rest of their lives and will never change. The true name of the awakening is known only to oneself, and if other creatures know it, they can curse, summon, or even enslave the real name. Therefore, the real name is a double-edged sword, which means both strength and danger.
Those who can awaken their true names are generally those who are higher races such as evil spirits, evil demons, and devils. Vane is a succubus that belongs to a low-level infernal creature, and the chance of appearing his real name is not impossible, but it is very low. They are all the lucky ones left behind after countless cruel battles and devouring.
Like Vane who awakened his true name as soon as he was born, even among those high-level races in purgatory, there are very few.
This layer of purgatory is the continent of Turupapau, which means place of torture in the language of the devil. All the creatures of this continent were born from the condensation of the gray mist that has shrouded Turupapau from ancient times to the present day. As soon as you are born, you can know the geography, race, strength difference, language, skills, transformation, and other knowledge necessary for survival on the continent without studying.
Vane awakened her true name the moment she was born, and correspondingly, her real name also gave her a powerful skill "Charm". Don't look at the two short words, "charm" contains a series of skill trees such as transformation, disguise, and spiritual magic. It's just that Vane has only been born for more than ten days, and the reserves of conditions necessary for evolution, such as physical strength, skill proficiency, and strength, are basically zero. She needed some food to reserve energy for her first metamorphosis.
There is no sun in Purgatory, and the Tidal Eruptions fixed by the Demon Mist are intervals for a Purgatory Day.
Wayne hadn't eaten since his birth. But with her innate knowledge, she knows how to hunt for food. Avoid the strong and prey on the weak. It is the iron law of survival. After walking out of that desert a few days ago. She sensed several breaths, three of which were stronger, two of which were weaker, and one of which was similar to herself. Vane didn't even think about it, and ran directly towards the weaker aura closest to him. She had to be fast, she could already feel the three powerful breaths running in the direction of the weak breaths.
In this purgatory of food scarcity, every piece of food is extremely precious. Loss will never come again.
Vane gathered his breath as he hurried as he could. She was afraid that those three powerful breaths would sense her, and she would give up that weak aura and turn around to chase her. In purgatory, the difference between predator and prey is that the one is stronger.
Vane slowly walked behind a rock, and in front of the rock was his prey. She only judged whether it was prey by her breath, and did not think about what race the prey was. Even if you are a succubus with yourself, you can still hunt it, and being merciful in purgatory is tantamount to committing suicide.
Vane had climbed to the top of the rock, and over the rock, he could see a body like a child, a face like a mouse, hands like sharp hooks, feet like sheep's hooves, and a tail with arrows.
The Suckers are the lowest race in Purgatory, and can only feed on these infernal creatures that do not possess intelligence.
Venn is estimated at the next distance. Not hiding his breath, he jumped and pounced on his prey in the air like an evil eagle.
The smoiring monster under the rock felt a powerful aura with a murderous aura appear in the air. Scared to drop the lava rats. Jumping for his life, he fled forward quickly.
How could Vane see the food in his hand fly away. Directly a spiritual magic "shock" is thrown directly on the demon sucker.
Suddenly, the monster trembled and froze there.
Vane, the figure that swooped down landed right in front of the sampire. A cruel smile rose into the corners of his mouth, and his hook-like claws plunged directly into the top of the monster's head. In the desperate face of the sampire, the flesh and bones melted from Vane's claws. Only one piece of skin remained, which slowly slid down and lay flat on the ground.
After absorbing the sucking monsters, Vane's black eyes were much deeper. Vane let out a long sigh of satisfaction, it was her first meal in her life, and it really made her come back to memories. One step closer to metamorphosis, although she didn't know what it was for, but instinct drove her to do it.
After Vane finished absorbing the sucking monster, he locked on to another weaker aura. She had to get out of here quickly, because those three powerful breaths were already very close to her.
Hurriedly gathered his breath, observed the next direction, and quickly left this place.
In the rush of running, Vane silently looked at the dark sky. She had a faint sense that somewhere, far away, somewhere in a space far away from here, there was a creature that had some connection to her. This connection seems to have existed before he was born. She just didn't understand what the relationship was, and who the creature had some connection to herself was......
Golden light rained down on the earth, and the hanging "Gate of Truth" was eternally immovable. The intense light was more dazzling than the sun. In the area of the "Gate of Truth", the golden light is the most intense, dense enough to condense into a sea of light. In the sea of light, it has evolved over the years. Some areas are beginning to materialize. Produces a liquefied golden liquid that drips from the air with the wind after condensing and forming in the sea of light. These liquids are so inconspicuous that they are hard to find in those dazzling lights.
This golden liquid is condensed from the light that eternally nourishes the Boundless Divine Realm. The effect is much stronger than those rays, ordinary a small drop of golden liquid can make the entire dead forest completely rejuvenated, if it is dropped on a person, it can immediately strengthen the body, break through the level, regenerate broken limbs, and produce flesh and bones. For example, after death, as long as the soul has not dissipated, it drips with golden liquid and is immediately resurrected. That's why this golden liquid is called the "Fountain of Life" in the divine realm. At the same time, this "source of life" is also the only choice for the gods to increase their divine power. Theoretically, as long as the "truth" in his possession is immortal, then he will live forever. But "truth" can be discarded or snatched, and a god can only be destroyed if he can rob him of the "truth" he holds. Therefore, the gods in the divine realm also need to constantly accumulate divine power. Avoid being destroyed by other gods if their divine power is too poor. In the almost eternal realm of the gods, there are many gods who have been robbed of the "truth" and annihilated in the years.
The "Fountain of Life" is born almost all the time, but there is no fixed area. In this vast and boundless divine realm, it is undoubtedly very difficult to find a drop of "life source". As soon as the "fountain of life" comes into contact with the earth, it is immediately absorbed by the earth. Therefore, it is best to collect the "Fountain of Life" only when it has not yet landed. However, these "sources of life" have no trace to be found, and they can only adopt some stupid methods of waiting for the rabbit. It is to let some people hold a place, spread over a large area, waiting for the "source of life" to fall. Although the gods have the ability to predict, it is necessary to perform divine magic. It consumes more divine power than it can replenish from the "Source of Life", and this method of not outweighing the benefits will obviously not work. Therefore, the gods had to develop believers in the mortal world, and after the death of these believers, they would lead their souls to the divine realm, and then shape their bodies to collect the "source of life" for the gods. This is also the reason why the gods have always responded to the prayers of the believers, and they would not bother to answer the prayers if it were not for the fact that the gods needed these souls to work for them.
Hela and the village are located on a small mountain peak in the eastern part of the divine realm. This mountain belongs to the sphere of influence of Muton, the god of harvest. The summit of the small mountain is bare, and only the top of the hill stands a watchtower tens of meters high. The watchtower is not roofed, but simply enclosed by a fence on all sides.
