In Dior's eyes, everything became unusually slow.

The hideous face of Versailles, who was covered in flames, grew bigger and bigger in his sight, but at this moment, he was surprisingly calm, without fear or anger, as if the world was still for a moment, and the bottom of his heart seemed to turn into a calm lake, as calm and soft as moonlight.

All the memories he had in his past and present lives on the martial arts, the experience gained from a series of battles, the knowledge given by the ancestral statues, the emotions from all sides, and so on, all the memories he had were playing quickly in his mind like a slide, constantly kneading and reforming to form a new whole.

A strange feeling permeated the bottom of Dior's heart, and the wind from nowhere blew ripples on the surface of the lake in his heart, and suddenly, a pair of huge lantern-like beast pupils opened under the surface of the lake.

The waves are rising.

Rumble!

Something exploded in Dior's brain, and then a scorching blood cell was born in the center of the explosion, and countless red lines like tiny blood vessels spread to every corner of the body with the blood cells as the center, and the slightest heat flow radiated along the red line, nourishing every part of the body, and a new power poured out from the nourished parts.

It all seemed like a long time, but it only happened in a short instant, and the moment the flow of time returned to normal, Versailles was still just making a pounce.

Call!

Dio took a deep breath, his mind ethereal.

At that moment, as if some ancient giant beast was breathing, all the surrounding flames centered on Dio were instantly suppressed under the action of some unknown force, and then quickly converged behind Dio, and as Dio posed in the Gray Scale Four Disc Style, a giant python composed entirely of flames also formed behind him.

The python was lifelike, every snake scale was clearly visible, but its eyes were closed and lifeless, looking like a beautiful statue rather than a living thing.

Step forward with your left foot, turn your body right and pull back, pull the strings like a bow, and swing your fist!

Roar!

The giant python's eyes suddenly opened in anger, roared loudly, and instantly an endless murderous aura permeated out, and then followed Dio's fist to pounce forward, choosing people to devour!

At that moment, Dior's fist and the python's head completely coincided, indistinguishable from each other.

All of his martial arts mysteries so far have been condensed in this punch, and with the help of the perfectly fitting external environment, he has forcibly raised his realm to the level of a martial artist, and has delivered his strongest punch so far!

No joy and no worries, no sorrow and no anger, there is only this punch in his heart.

His fists seemed to cross the constraints of space and time, and even reversed cause and effect, and when his fist was concentrated on Versailles' chest, he had just made a fist swing on the other side, and then his two figures overlapped together.

Versailles, who was hit by Dior, was not knocked away, but strangely froze in mid-air, like a worm frozen in amber, and then the sound of something shattering sounded.

Countless star-sand dust fell from Versailles' body surface, and the body began to shrink, and the body hair faded, and soon it turned into a mature and beautiful female carcass.

The red faded from her eyes, and she looked at Dio, as if she wanted to say something, but Dio put his right hand on her throat the next moment.

Click.

The glint in her eyes gradually dimmed, and her body trembled violently for a few moments before gradually weakening, and finally stopped completely.

Grabbing the mask off her face, revealing a bewitching face, Dio's attention was entirely focused on the mask, as soon as his hand touched the mask, he immediately felt a strange energy pass from above into his body, along with fragments of broken and chaotic memories. After a while, the energy from the mask disappeared, and then the entire mask became old and dilapidated as if it had been weathered for thousands of years, until it turned into dust and dispersed.

Dio suddenly withdrew his hand, the energy on the mask is very unusual, but where it is not ordinary and can't be said, if you really want to describe it, you can compare the body to an engine, then the energy on the mask is a bit similar to lubricating oil, which can play a certain role in protection or promotion.

Throwing the body of Versailles in her hand into the asphalt pool that had turned into a sea of fire not far away, the flames completely surrounded her in an instant, and her originally fair and delicate skin turned yellow at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally turned to charred black, and then slowly sank into the asphalt pool, no longer visible.

Dio turned and stepped out of the flames, and after he left, the flames that had been suppressed burst into flames in an instant, illuminating the entire mountainside in a fiery red.

When he reached a place far from the area covered by the flames, and the temperature was no longer so high, Dior leaned against the stone wall to catch his breath.

Looking down, his body was scorched black, and it was no longer clear who was who was in his clothes and the most superficial layer of skin, so you can imagine how miserable he was now.

But now he didn't have the time to pay attention to the injuries on his body, just now he noticed that the collapse was getting worse, and he must now find the exit as soon as possible and get out of this dangerous place.

Walking in the direction away from the asphalt pool, Dior soon noticed the traces of artificial carving on the nearby stone wall, and continued to walk along the extension of the trace for more than ten minutes, and a magnificent underground palace appeared in front of his eyes.

This is typical of the ancient Robb architectural style, with boxy, rows of round towering marble columns supporting the dome of the palace, and two tall statues of goddesses erected at the door, namely Amidas, the goddess of the starry night, and Hekepes, the goddess of the dawn. On the periphery of the palace, an underground river was channeled to form a small moat around the palace, and the nearby stone wall did not know if it was because of the special material, but it exuded a light purple luster, which gave the palace a veil of mystery and magnificence.

Dio walked in through the open obsidian gate, which was more than ten meters high, and as soon as he entered, he smelled a strange smell, like rotten eggs mixed with vomit, which did not match the appearance of the palace at all.

Once you enter the gate, you will find a large black stone hall.

The stone hall was brightly lit, and there was a large rectangular stone bath in the middle, but instead of pure water, it was a substance similar to gray-white stone slurry, and the source of that smell was here.

This kind of pool is estimated that no normal person wants to go down, but at this time, there is a person lying in it, leaning on the edge of the pool, his eyes are closed, his whole body is stiff, if it is not for the slight ups and downs in his chest, Dio would have regarded it as a corpse.

It was a woman, with gray skin and shaved bones, looking like only skin and skeleton were left, which was very frightening, but Dio could still see some familiar parts in her distorted face.

"Ferge?" asked Dior tentatively.

Hearing Dio's words, the woman in the pool suddenly opened her eyes, and her eyes flashed with gray brilliance.

"You...... Dio?" she looked at the person not far in front of her, who was darker than a slave from the Black Continent, and tried to turn her thoughts, and then said uncertainly.

"It's me, how did you become like this?" Dio stepped forward and looked at the layout of the pool, when suddenly a memory fragment that he had just obtained from his mask flashed out - this was the place where the ghouls were made.

"Wave ...... Pomorro ...... "Phigi struggled but still resentfully to say a name, and then her expression darkened, and she said to Dio pleadingly, "Kill me...... Please...... I...... I don't want to...... Become that kind of monster...... Please...... Help me ......."

"Pomorro?" Dior muttered, he probably understood what had happened to Ferge.

"Please...... I felt like I was about to change...... My Consciousness My Body...... I'm running out of time...... Kill me......" Becky continued to pray.

"I see what you mean. Dio nodded and said, "I can help you with this......"

Hearing this, Phigie hurriedly nodded with difficulty, looking at Dio with anticipation, without any fear, it seems that she is more afraid of becoming a ghoul than death.

“...... But I want to explain beforehand, I have a way to keep you from becoming that kind of monster, and there is a certain possibility of success, would you like to try it?"

Dior's next words struck Phigi like lightning, startling her for a moment before she said incredulously, "Is this possible?"

"Of course it's possible, failure is just death, anyway, now you don't care about life, how about trying?" Dior said with a smile.

He didn't deceive Ferge, he seemed to have a certain amount of stimulation to the Book of Origin after absorbing the mask energy just now, and a part of the information flow was injected into his brain, allowing him to obtain a lot of information, including this pool.

The real name of this special pool is the Divine Grace Pool, and it is a place used to grant special powers to warriors loyal to the High Priest, and warriors who use the Divine Grace Pool to gain power are called Divine Grace Guardians.

Of course, the conditions required for this method of empowerment are extremely harsh, and the probability of success is low, and if it fails, then the warrior performing the ritual will be transformed into a ghoul, which means that the ghoul is actually a failure of the charismatic ritual.

Dio's desire to perform the Divine Grace Ritual for Phigi is not a whim, you must know that the manufacturing materials of this Divine Grace Pool and the various components of the liquid called the Leyline Stone Slurry in it are very rare and valuable, and even many of them are difficult to find now, so it can be said that once he misses here, then even if he wants to carry out the Divine Grace Ritual in the future, it is likely that he will not have the conditions to carry it out, and there will be no such shop if he leaves this village, so when he recognized Phigki, he had already moved this idea.

It doesn't matter if you fail, it's just about gaining experience and there's nothing to lose.

"Article ...... ......" Becky came back to her senses from the surprise, looked at Dior fixedly, and slowly spat out two words.

Dior smiled. He admires this smart girl very much, there is no love in the world for no reason, everything must happen for a reason, and if you want to get it, you must pay, and she can think of these things with a clear mind at this time, it seems that Fei Ji is not the kind of girl who is stupid and naïve.

"I want absolute loyalty and trust. ”
