Chapter 20: Hidden History
Over the next few days, Ramel tells Liam about the origins of the Order, its internal factions, the reasons for the division between the Resurrection and Adventists, and some hidden histories that are not recorded in books.
The "School of Life Studies" was founded in the middle of the Second Age by the new god of death Kurag and the four kings of angels, who were simply called: "old, young, sick, and disabled."
The "School of Life Studies" is the analysis and application of the spiritual body, the research and development of supernatural abilities, and this special mechanism allows this organization to be active in all ages even if there are no gods and demigods.
At the end of the Second Age, the Holy War took place, the pillars leading to the heavenly realm were broken, and the righteous gods could not directly intervene in the human world, and the passage to the rest of the interfaces was blocked by the demigods and angel kings who were walking on the earth at that time, so that the human world became independent.
Although the king of angels and demigods did not die, their authority was plundered by various forces after the holy war, including the god of death Kurag and the four angels under him.
No one knows exactly when or where Kurag fell, but the three major churches confirmed that Kurag had fallen on the basis that he could not see his spirit on the compass of fate, and that Kurag's authority was slowly returning to the human realm.
The fall of a demigod had a huge impact on the "School of Life Studies", and soon there was a split within the body, with some trying to resurrect the Grim Reaper, and others searching for corpses in the hope of gaining more knowledge from them.
At the end of the Second Age and the beginning of the Third Age, a genius appeared and completely changed the "School of Life Studies", and he was the founder of the "Spirit Order" - Durin.
He is a genius favored by the gods, from an obscure mortal to a righteous angel in just a few years, and he has also shown extraordinary ambition when he is strong enough.
"Angel of the Dead" Durin, "Descendant of Death" Mandy, and Sean, the "Disabled Angel" under the seat of Kurag, jointly formed the "Spirit Order" to try to find a way to resurrect Kurag from Mandy.
But the unexpected happened, and Durin's ambition was not limited to this, his purpose in resurrecting the Grim Reaper was to complete the ritual and usurp the gods while becoming the king of angels.
Mandy was killed by Doolin, who was also cursed by the other party and became the king of angels, but he could only sleep in the tomb forever.
Sean was severely injured by Doolin and the old injuries he sustained in the Second Age did not recover, and his strength fell to the right angel, but this is not the worst.
In that battle, the lover is killed, the murderer is at large, and the terrifying presence hidden in the darkness marks Sean's fate, so that Sean cannot fully recover and has to be reborn every fifty years.
Each rebirth will change identity, and the memory will disappear with the last death, and the experience of this life will gradually become a new personality, and then at the age of forty, all memories will be awakened, and the painful life will be twenty years, and then die again, be reborn again, and only in the despair of rebirth and abandonment, can you avoid the mark of fate.
"This is the last bit of mercy left by the Great Death to the believers." The lich mage Raman didn't know whether he was crying or laughing, and he was not running away from the mark of fate in his resurrections.
The "Resurrection Faction" in the "Spirit Order" wants to awaken Durin, while the "Advent Faction" is to stop the other party.
Although the members of the "Advent faction" are strong, while they stop the "resurrection faction", they also have to start preparing for the resurrection of Angel D and Sean, and they are busy at both ends, but both ends are delayed.
"So, that black-robed man is the 'crippled angel' - Sean?" Liam remembered the horrified face of the other man, and the flame that burned in his pupils.
"Yes." Raman nodded, "Lord Sean is running for fate, maybe many years later, you will meet Lord Sean after being reborn on a farm in a certain country." ”
"You have gravity in you, you have to increase your strength as soon as possible, the forces are starting to come alive, and the sleeping demigods are also affected, and they are waking up." Ramall was adamant.
"Gravity?" Liam looked at his hands, if three months ago, he only thought that the other party was talking nonsense, but now he ..... the goddess of the "Silver Moon Church", the greedy witch of "Red Rose", the Horag of the "Golden Lion Army", Joshua of a cult, and the unknown Michelle.
These people with very different identities are like sharks in search of blood, and they circle around them.
Liam remembered the "oracle" mentioned by Ramangel, and the goddess specially instructed him to hurry up and improve his strength, which was by no means polite.
"The attraction of fate." Liam secretly decided in his heart that he must become a level 3 magic apprentice as soon as possible to master more magic power and enhance his self-protection ability.
At this moment, Ramel suddenly coughed violently, as if he would cough out his lungs in the next second.
In reality, however, it is.
With a "poof", the black piece of meat spat onto the table.
The corners of Liam's mouth twitched, and the shape of the piece of flesh was the same as the illustration of the lungs in a biology textbook in his previous life, except for the color.
Raman leaned down, bit down on the piece of meat, took it in his mouth, and swallowed it.... Swallowed.
Raman stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, "Lord Liam, this body has limited time, do you have any other questions?" ”
Liam bowed slightly, asking the question that he had been puzzled by since the crossing.
"By the Grim Reaper's descendant, do you mean a creature with the blood of the Grim Reaper?"
Hearing this, Raman smiled strangely, "No, creatures with the blood of the Reaper abound, and the term "descendants of the Reaper" is not accurate, perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it the 'Legacy of the Reaper'." ”
"After the fall of the Great Grim Reaper, there have been three inheritors so far, and all of them have become powerful angel kings, and the original one is close to the demigod realm." Raman said, black blood running from the corner of his mouth against the table down his chin.
As soon as the black blood touched the tabletop, it immediately made a clattering sound, corroding small holes.
Liam gasped when he saw it, in a sense, reaching the angel level is already beyond the physical limitations and becoming a mythical creature, of course, this will also bring more madness and be more likely to get out of control.
Raman licked his lips, swallowed the black blood back from his mouth, and continued: "The inheritance of the Grim Reaper comes from many aspects, and many times the bloodline is awakened in the way of dreams. ”
"The way the dream is... Awaken the bloodline..."Liam remembers the frantic whispers of the time crossing, the painful memories, and the dry palm of the hand that opened the Book of the Dead.
"Ramangel, what do you know about the Wall family?" Liam said.
When Raman heard the name, a black mist erupted uncontrollably from his body, and he knelt on the ground in pain, black blood spurting out of his mouth.
The sudden change alerted Liam, who had already touched the "Ring of Dusk" with his right thumb, and opened the cigarette case with his left hand, ready to draw the shovel.
Black worms crawled beneath the skin, scales emerging from pores, hair wriggling as if alive, bone spurs emerging from the broken shoulders and extending outward.
"He's out of control!" Liam dispelled the idea of getting rid of the other party, and all he had to do at this time was to flee and escape from Landau City immediately.
"Roar...."Raman let out a terrifying roar, his front paws made entirely of white bone pressed to the ground, "Liam... Liam... The Wall Family... Blasphemers... Blasphemers will be judged, and do not come near... Don't come closer... blasphemers..."
The only remaining sanity awakened the hidden lock in his body, and Raman suddenly let out a piercing sound, and a cloud of white feathers emerged from his mouth, and his crazy eyes were covered in feathers.
In the blink of an eye, Ramel was on the verge of losing control, and his pure white feathers enveloped him like a giant white tulip.
Liam stood in front of the window, ready to jump out at any moment.
As the first feathers fall, the white tulip of countless feathers begins to wither, and when all the petals wither, a pure white feather lies in the center of the stamen.
The black petals offered by the deceased bloom pure white.
The strong visual contrast keeps Liam in place.
The breeze blew through the window, and the pure feather whimpered and cried, as crisp and flawless as a child's voice.
