Chapter 61: The Balance Between Humans and the Gods
Empty and silent corridors
This is the passage that runs from the inner level of the castle to the main gate, and in the old days, it was difficult to see people walking through the castle because there were very few people entering and leaving the castle. In addition, the demon king who lived in the ancient castle didn't seem to need this troublesome way to get out, he only needed to open a space jump passage to travel to the world.
It's quiet, and the only things you can see that are still moving are the ghosts that appear and disappear silently. They are the product of special lifeforms summoned by the magic enchantment in this castle, and they are summoned by extracting spiritual power from the leylines, and they usually do a lot of miscellaneous things for them.
Of course, this method will naturally be wasted in the eyes of ordinary magicians. The ghosts summoned by the magic enchantment are not ordinary fragile spirits, but summons with various special abilities. It can move silently and can switch between entities and voids, and has some resistance to magicians' magic, making it a very good choice as a special summon.
But the owner here obviously used these summons as coolies, and the power of the ghosts was not great, and it was very uneconomical to use them to carry items. However, the young man who lives here probably only thinks that these ghosts are silent and quiet, so he will invite them, right?
This is a special building with the title of 'Magic Fortress', which originally only had a long history, but under the transformation of a certain person who has studied various spells, it has an imaginary protective strength, and everything in the castle has been more or less transformed by magic.
Two distinct footsteps sounded from the ground, and their faces could be seen clearly by the bright lights.
A girl with long golden wavy lengths and a red and black gown, and next to her was a girl with a long silver glossy cloak and a blue ink cape.
"This passage ...... Everyone who walks through here will make footsteps?", the golden girl raised her breath, as if trying to restrain the sound of her steps, but unfortunately every time her heel lightly touched the ground, there was a sound.
"Well...... This is...... The boring magic enchantment that was added at the time of the last transformation...... Brother Jack must have done it, right?", said the silver girl with a slight hesitation.
But in fact, she was wrong, and it was the idle Ruoya who did this boring trick, and he seemed to like the effect of using magic to change the properties of matter.
"Lily, let me ask you a little bit of a thing. The golden girl got seriously and turned the topic to the right point.
"What?", Liliana's eyes were fixed on the girl in front of her, as if she was thinking about what she would say.
"You have the right grasp every time you fight me, and you don't even admit defeat with the slightest surprise or surprise, and in general it seems like every step is under your grasp?", the golden girl asked.
"You're still aware of it......," Liliana sighed slightly, knowing that her suppression of her strength was still noticed.
"No, why do you hide your powers? I'm pretty sure you have some special trick that you never used. Erica questioned again, seemingly dissatisfied.
"It's not to deliberately deceive, the battle between the knights is not to be stopped, it's just that the kind of skill I have mastered is not something that you can use. Liliana looked at the old enemy in front of her, who was also a friend, and said seriously.
"What is that power?", Erica asked, frowning.
"Erica, you serve the King of Swords, and you've learned something from that King, right? like the full version of the Holy Annihilation privilege. Liliana stopped suddenly, and the night breeze swept through the corridors, blowing her long.
“...... True, I also hid it, but this power is too strong for me to stop ......", Erica was stunned for a moment, and then quickly reacted.
"You've learned too?" Erica seemed to guess this.
"Almost", Liliana gave a plausible result.
"That's right...... If we both use that power...... It's not a duel, ......", Erica seemed to figure it out, so she didn't ask again.
Liliana was accepted by the King of Magic as a reserve knight at an early age, and of course, this kind of secret was still very easy for Erica, whose uncle was the Bronze Black Cross, to find out.
She was very unconvinced at first, because she didn't think that this petite girl had the talent to be chosen by the king.
But the subsequent battles with Liliana made her understand that the girl in front of her seemed to have extraordinary qualities. Skilled in martial arts, swordsmanship, spells, and spiritual vision, even Erica, who thinks she is a genius, is a little difficult to catch up, and it is only because the special magic she practices is more lethal that she can barely fight with this girl.
For the next few days, she often lost sight of her old enemy, and according to her suspicions, it seems that she followed her king to face some disobedient gods.
After knowing this, Erica didn't pull down her own training, and continued to learn obscure and difficult techniques, and gained extraordinary strength at an extremely young age. She vaguely felt that she could have such an achievement, and it was inseparable from the girl in front of her who couldn't see through her true strength.
Later, because of the cooperation between the Bronze Black Cross and the King of Swords, she was chosen as the king's knight at a young age, and occasionally received guidance from that person, which also made her strength far better than that of the eugenics of the same age. But she always felt that it was not enough, because her old enemy, even she couldn't seem to figure out how strong it was.
And recently, she finally asked the question in her heart, although she didn't know what kind of technique the girl in front of her was mastering, but she knew that it would definitely be the kind of god-killing spirit that was equal to the privilege of divine annihilation. According to the power of the Magic King, it seems that there is really no problem with this technique, right?
With a slight sigh in her heart, Erica and Liliana walked out of here together, she still needs to go back to another place, Tony has sneaked out several times recently, and now she has to keep an eye on that person carefully.
............
"The concubine has only noticed now that the girl next to you seems to be very bad. In one of the halls, a girl who looked like she was seventeen or eighteen years old was using the eyes of a distant mortal to see Liliana, who had just appeared from the gate.
"I'm going to ...... Let her also become a god killer, although there is a bit of a burden behind this thing...... But now I've been able to solve it lightly. The young man said these words indifferently, not thinking that this sentence would bring much of a sensation to others.
"Tsk, even if your strength is indeed stronger than that of a concubine, the possibility of letting that child kill the gods is too low. The goddess, known as the god of wisdom and battle, saw through the powerful spell hidden beneath the girl. Although it is far stronger than the average person, it is still a little insufficient to fight the gods.
"Whether it's swordsmanship, spells, martial arts, or vision, she's done the best she can by now. The only trouble is that with the body of an ordinary person, it can't contain enough mana comparable to that of a god, which limits the number of times she can use the god-killing spirit. A piece of jade with a shimmering light suddenly appeared in Chen's hand, and the aura faintly revealed on it was terrifying.
"This is...... How can there be the breath of Mother Earth? No...... To be more precise, this thing was made from the corpse of the Earth Mother God!", the girl's face was a little bad, and she stared at Chen, as if she wanted to say something.
"This is just a fragment of the Holy Grail, which I have transformed with alchemy. Chen, not caring about the malicious gaze cast by the girl opposite, replied very naturally.
"You know a little bit about the Last King, right?" Tatsumi asked suddenly.
Athena was silent for a while before continuing: "It's just that there are rumors, but the concubine hasn't really seen the so-called last king. However, the Holy Grail Concubine seems to have some understanding, and it is said that it contains mana several times that of the gods, and it has something to do with the last king. ”
"The Last King...... He's just a substitute for some kind of balance...... But the Holy Grail is quite interesting, it can store several times the power of the gods, and it is really a holy relic......", Tatsumi seemed to be a little interested in that thing.
"Looks like you've figured out the identity of the Last King?", Athena asked, a little surprised.
"It doesn't matter who he is, I just know what he does. No matter how powerful he is, he can't perceive that he is part of a certain cycle, which is also a matter of vision. The boy seemed to sigh. He has studied a lot of things from this world, and now he is extremely close to the hidden truth of this world, so he wants to borrow Athena's wisdom.
"What have you noticed?", Athena asked solemnly.
"It's almost all clear, but it's not partly understood...... In addition, it is also a difficult task to solve this problem. The boy said, but Athena was already convinced that the boy had some kind of countermeasure.
"Now that the balance between man and god has been destroyed, there is no need to maintain this old system, and the binding power of mythology is always limited, and even if the power of humans and gods is brought back into balance with the special existence of the god killer, it is difficult to maintain it now. The boy looked into the distance and said.
"In the past ten years, five god-killers have been born, and the degree of birth is far greater than the degree of death, or on the other hand, the number of disobedient gods has also increased. The so-called balance between man and god has long been shattered. ", the young man, finally said something hidden behind the times slowly.
